Somewhat reminiscent of the Sandisk Sansa line, the eSport Clip comes in five different colors and it boasts a little clip on the back for your convenience. You probably don't want to watch a heck of a lot of movies on the tiny 1.8-inch color display, but it's good to know that the option is there. It's also got FM radio, voice recording, eBook reader, TXT reader, and even a 5-megapixel camera for spur of the moment photos. The 4GB of storage isn't exactly huge, but it's perfectly sufficient for your workout routine.
The official list price is $29, but you can find it on Walmart.com now for $22. Cheap is good, as long as it gets the job done!

Obama Pushing Shooters Off Public Lands - Washington Whispers (usnews.com) . Or is it now "Hopeless Change"?
I just read this article this morning. I think we are starting to see just a glimpse of what a second Obama term would mean to all of us who love shooting. We would see this and many more restrictions put on us and our guns before what I think is a likely attempt to at least set up the frame work of a national registration system and eventual confiscation.
I'm not really excited by anyone on the GOP side who's running right now but honestly think any of them would be far and away better choices that the current inhabitant of the White House.
OK I am in before the lock. No doubt too many of our professional politicians are only interested in the next election and none of them are concerned with managing the business of the Nation.
Not surprised:rolleyes:
Should anyone be surprised. Another stupid idea. I have been on many public lands across the U.S., including BLM lands. Never once have I been shot at, shot near, or been scared by someone with a firearm. I have however, been endangered by mountain bikers far too many times to count.
This was a topic of conversation at work today; We're in AZ which has a LOT of BLM land and a lot of shooters.
The biggest gripe out here about shooting on public lands is SLOBS who don't give a thought to cleaning up after themselves. I'm not talking about brass, I mean idiots who drag TVs and appliances into the desert to shoot and leave the blown-apart shards behind. You want to shoot bottles? Fine, just pick up the broken glass. My friends and I have shot spoiled produce which of course we leave behind for the 'critters', but we won't even leave cardboard boxes or paper targets behind.
Two springs ago I helped a club of off-roaders clean up one popular shooting area off the Beeline Highway in Mesa. We had press coverage and support from Waste Management and the Sheriff's Office. Maybe 250 people volunteered for 4-8 hours to clean up a few different sites. I forget the tonnage of junk we cleaned up, but it was a LOT. Probably two tractor trailer loads. Well, one year later - the same area was almost as loaded up with trash and shot-up junk as it was before we cleaned it up.
And you wonder why some people are against shooting on public lands? If you've shot on public land and failed to clean up after yourself, you're part of the problem.
I had hope and change thrust upon me as a young Dad in the early 80's,When it was time for a change,I was hoping it wasn't a loaded diaper
Oh...and BTW...for anyone who's interested...the BLM is not interested in the "public" aspect of Public Lands at all.

Dan Haren jokes he won't be available to pitch in Home Run Derby
Well, it looks like this year's Home Run Derby just got a lot less entertaining.
Well, it looks like this year's Home Run Derby just got a lot less entertaining.
Don't expect Bryce Harper to participate in the Home Run Derby anytime soon.
The Home Run Derby is the only event of the MLB season where the outfield bleachers are the best seats in the house.
New York Mets third baseman David Wright was booed by Pittsburgh Pirates fans on Friday at PNC Park, and it's all because of a Home Run Derby snub.
Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has been a fan favorite in the Home Run Derby for several years.
Is there any out there who really, truly enjoys watching the Home Run Derby? Sure, some of the player antics can be entertaining.
Those of us who have watched the Home Run Derby in the past are familiar with the concept of the gold ball.
This year's MLB All-Star Game will be played at Chase Field in Arizona, home of the Diamondbacks.

One of London's best-known hotels, the Intercontinental in Park Lane, has been put on the market by Intercontinental Hotels Group as it moves ever more from owning to managing hotels.
More than nine out of 10 rooms in the 51 hotels that Intercontinental runs in London or near out-of-town Olympic venues is currently occupied.
Chief executive Richard Solomons said: "We would expect 80% occupancy during August so the Olympics has clearly had a beneficial effect. We have brand new Holiday Inn and Staybridge hotels right by the Olympic park and are also running the Athletes' Village as part of our sponsorship of the Games.
"The Holiday Inn brand is 60 years old this year but our involvement with the Olympics has had a hugely positive effect on its awareness among consumers. It's been good for the brand and very good for the country."
The Park Lane hotel, which overlooks Hyde Park Corner, could fetch well over £200 million, according to analysts. It opened in 1974 and underwent a £75 million refurbishment five years ago. It has 447 rooms and is home to chef Theo Randall.
Solomons said the sale process would start in earnest once the new Intercontinental Westminster opens for business early next year. He added: "I would be looking for a sale towards the end of 2013."
Intercontinental shareholders were today promised a $1 billion (£640 million) return of cash. Part of that will come from the sale of the Intercontinental Barclay in New York, which is expected to fetch about $250 million.
Solomons said: "Since we demerged from Mitchells & Butlers in 2003, including today's return, we will have handed $9 billion back to shareholders. That is more than twice the stock-market value of the company immediately after demerger."
First-half profits rose by 6% to $286 million, with China leading the growth followed by the Americas and the rest of Asia.
The interim dividend goes up by 31% to 21 cents a share, reflecting the board's confidence and a move to rebalance the payout ratio to one third for the first half and two thirds for the second.
During the first half, revenues per room increased by 9.7% in China, 7.1% in the Americas, 7.9% in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, and 1.9% in Europe. Revenues per room growth slowed quite sharply in all regions last month, with Europe actually going into a reverse of 0.2%.
Solomons said: "These numbers can swing rapidly from month to month, and July had some special factors including the fact that the fourth of July holiday was midweek, which always reduces business occupancy, and the fact that Ramadan began early this year."
Shares in Intercontinental Hotel Group rose 112.5p, or 7%, to 1734.5p.

2000-01: A Year of Transition
The 2000-01 basketball season was a year of transition for the University of Cincinnati.
The Bearcats began the season minus four starters and five of the top seven scorers from the 1999-00 squad which posted one of the school's most successful seasons. Even head coach Bob Huggins, who eschews the term "rebuilding," conceded that the 2000-01 team would be his youngest and least experienced quint of his 12-season tenure at UC.
That youth and inexperience made Cincinnati somewhat unpredictable. The Bearcats rose to the occasion to upset Top 25-ranked Alabama and Wake Forest and record impressive road victories over surging Memphis and Southern Mississippi. UC's callowness proved to be a factor in six losses in which the Bearcats held significant leads and/or had the chance to win or tie the game at the buzzer.
Cincinnati remained the class of Conference USA. The Bearcats rebounded for a 4-4 start in league play to win their sixth consecutive regular season C-USA championship. On a national scale, UC was the lone C-USA team to receive recognition in the national polls throughout the season and was the league's highest-ranked team in the Sagarin and RPI computer indexes.
The Bearcats rallied to win seven of their final eight regular season games and built a 25-9 record, topping the 25-win mark for the sixth consecutive season. UC earned a No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in the past 10 years. The good news is that the terms "young" and "inexperienced" will not be as applicable to the Bearcats in the near future.
Logan, Satterfield Lead Offense
Satterfield shouldered the major scoring role during the first month of the season. The 6-2 sophomore averaged 18.9 points while leading the Bearcats to a 9-2 start. Satterfield opened the season with a career-high 27 point to spark Cincinnati to a 73-61 win over Boise State.
Satterfield and Logan combined for one half of Cincinnati's points in the 82-75 win at No. 24 Dayton. Logan tallied 21 points, hitting three 3-pointers in a scoring run which erased a 12-point deficit and put UC in front for good. Satterfield added 20 points, eight in the final six minutes.
Satterfield tallied 26 points in the mid-December crosstown clash with Xavier but couldn't sink the game-winning try in the final seconds of the 69-67 loss. He atoned for that a week later with a 22-point, 8-assist effort vs. Clemson and 23 points, six in overtime, vs. No. 17 Alabama to lead Cincinnati to the title of the Puerto Rico Holiday Classic. Satterfield earned tourney MVP honors.
Logan picked up his scoring pace in late December. Playing before many hometown friends and family members in Cleveland, the 6-foot junior scored 18 points in a 69-66 loss to Toledo at the Rock-N-Roll Shootout to earn the game's John McLendon MVP award.
Logan and Satter-field scored 18 each as Cincinnati opened Conference USA play with a 76-66 victory over Charlotte.
Following an offensive meltdown at Marquette, during which the Bearcats were held to an 11-year scoring low in a 47-44 loss, Logan became determined to become more assertive.
Logan exploded for 27 points in a 72-52 win at Louisville to begin what has become termed Logan's run. In the run, he led the team in scoring for 11 straight games, the longest streak since Pat Cummings' 19 game streak in 1978-79, and boosted his scoring average to 17.6 points. Logan finished with a 17.6-point average to rank as the sixth-ranked scorer in Conference USA. He averaged 20.9 points in C-USA games, tops in the league.
A Season of Ebbs and Flows
Cincinnati opened its 100th season of competition with a 73-61 win over Boise State and turned back Marshall, 79-75, three days later. UC rebounded from a 69-51 loss to No. 14 Notre Dame at the John Wooden Tradition with an 82-75 win over No. 24 Dayton.
The Bearcats resumed play following their layoff with a 97-58 rout of Oakland, a warm-up for their annual crosstown clash with Xavier three days later. In what became the first of a series of disheartening finishes, the Musketeers overtook the Bearcats in the final 32 seconds for a 69-67 upset.
Cincinnati rebounded two days later with a convincing 90-72 win at UNLV. That victory began a five-game win streak—the longest of the season—and was part of an eight-day road trip. UC collected wins over Youngstown State, Clemson and No. 17 Alabama to win the Puerto Rico Holiday Classic, then returned home to top UNC Wilmington, 65-55. A 69-66 loss to Toledo at the Rock-N-Roll Shootout ended the win streak as well as a string of 54 consecutive polls in which the Bearcats had been ranked in the Top 25.
Cincinnati began Conference USA play with three wins in its first four games. UC opened with a 76-66 win over Charlotte but was shocked by a 47-44 loss at Marquette. The Bearcats rebounded with wins over Louisville (72-52) and UAB (90-83). Cincinnati then suffered consecutive losses for the first time in three seasons, losing in overtime at Saint Louis (71-62) and suffering a 63-54 loss at home to the Louisville team it had beaten by 20 points 11 days earlier.
With No. 8 Wake Forest invading three days later, the Bearcats' record of having never suffered consecutive home defeats in the Shoemaker Center appeared in jeopardy. Cincinnati saw a 10-point lead disappear in the final 4:44 of regulation but recovered for a 78-72 victory in overtime.
UC returned to conference play with a 3-3 ledger, but won four of its next five games to move into contention for a sixth straight C-USA regular season crown. After routing Tulane, 105-57, Cincinnati was edged at Charlotte, 60-58. After convincing wins over DePaul (91-70) and Southern Mississippi (64-52), the Bearcats edged league-leading Memphis, 66-65. Having been the victim of final second comebacks, UC notched one of its own when Kenny Satterfield hit the game-winning basket with less than a second to play.
That win moved Cincinnati within a half game of the C-USA lead. Marquette squelched UC's advance with a 66-63 overtime defeat. The Bearcats rebounded to win their final four contests, defeating Saint Louis (68-61) and Houston (85-50) at home and turning back South Florida (77-66) and DePaul (75-62) on the road. UC clinched its sixth straight C-USA regular season crown and the No. 1 seed for the league's postseason tournament. There was little question that Cincinnati was playing its best basketball of the year.
C-USA: The Lo and Satt Show
The Bearcat starting guards played the main roles, combining to average 39.0 points and 8.7 assists, while their careful distribution of the ball helped UC commit a miserly 18 turnovers in the three contests.
Satterfield stepped up in the quarterfinal win over UAB to score 17 points. He scored seven of Cincinnati's nine points in the last three minutes of play, during which UCrallied from a three-point deficit to a 73-70 victory.
Logan exploded for 32 points in the 89-79 win over Memphis in the semifinals. When the Tigers took a four-point lead with 4:28 to play, Satterfield again rallied the Bearcats, converting a three-point play and dishing to McElroy on a fast break dunk which reclaimed the advantage. Satterfield scored 22 of his 24 points in the second half.
Fatigue—the two played an average of 33 and 34 minutes in the three contests—may have led to the fall-off in their shooting in the championship game. The duo combined for 32 points, Satterfield getting 18, but shot a combined 33 percent from the floor as the Bearcats fell, 80-72.
Bearcats Taste Sweet 16
While Logan and Satterfield continued to lead the offense, others stepped up. B.J. Grove scored six of UC's first 13 points and finished with 11 points and Antwan Jones came off the bench to contribute 11 in the 84-59 win over Brigham Young.
Jamaal Davis tied a career high with 16 points and grabbed a personal best 10 rebounds in the 66-43 victory over Kent State.
Cincinnati shot .538 for the two games while holding the opposition to a .337 field goal percentage. UC also outrebounded its two foes by 29 while earning its ninth trip to the Sweet 16.
The Bearcats' shooting eye left them—UC shot just .397 from the field—while Stanford scortched the nets at a .628 pace as the No. 2 Cardinal posted a 78-65 win over Cincinnati. A 15-7 scoring run in the final four minutes gave UC a 38-34 halftime lead. Stanford regained the lead three minutes into the second half and took command with a 15-4 run.

GSOG6002 - Public Sector Leadership
Session 1 Early Census, 2014 | Credit Points: 6
Coordinator: Mr Stephen Mills
Leadership is made by followers and leaders together. It is a story that resolves these questions. What is a leader? What is the difference between leaders and managers? Are leaders made or born? What are the different kinds of leaders? Who follows leaders and why? Is democratic leadership different from other kinds? How is public-sector leadership different from leadership in business or community organisations? Is it different across different cultures? Do men and women lead in the same way? In this unit, we will review and evaluate theories of leadership. Emphasis will be on the application of theories to evidence, including participants' experiences and perceptions of leadership in different contexts. The theme of leaders as facilitators and agents of change will be explored, including real-world examples of what, how and when to make decisions. Similarly, the themes of ethical practice in managing and leading people and shaping organisational culture will be explored.
1500wd leadership evaluation paper (20%), 1000wd and 20min presentation leader in action group project (40%), 3500wd reflective journal (40%).

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – For the fourth time this season and the ninth time over the last two years NAU senior diver Kristy Ardavanis, who broke two pool records in her final home meet on Saturday, has been named the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Diver of the Week.
Ardavanis broke the Wall Aquatic Center records on both 1-meter and 3-meter while winning both events in her final competition in her home pool. Ardavanis opened with a career-high score of 329.93 on 3-meter to break the pool record of 327.83 set by former Lumberjack Taryn Harris in 2008. The score was the second highest 3-meter total in program history as was Ardavanis' winning total of 325.65 on 1-meter which broke her own pool record set in 2011.
"I wanted to go out with a bang and it was cool that my family and friends were there to see it," Ardavanis said. "I definitely had a good feeling going into it and felt confident. I had good visualization and it all worked out."
The scores were also the highest in the Western Athletic Conference this season as Ardavanis won 3-meter by more than 20 points and 1-meter by more than 40 points. She won both boards for the third time in duals this season.
Ardavanis and her teammates will compete at the Air Force Diving Invitational on Friday and Saturday.

Sunday, April 5, 2015 will be the first MLB Game this season at the newly refurbished Wrigley Field, and the season will end on Sunday, October 4, 2015. Just like last season there will be a total of 76 games between the teams and they will play 19 games against each division opponent, and six or seven games against each team from the other two divisions for a total of 66 games.
Some changes to expect on the field this year uniform wise has the New York Mets, The Minnesota Twins, The Pittsburgh Pirates, Seattle Mariners, San Francisco Giants and The Cleveland Indians all have changed up the uniforms a bit from previous years. The following teams will be wearing commemorative patches to honor special occasions. AZ Diamondbacks in memory of hostage victim taken by ISIS, Kayla Mueller during March 3-8, Chicago Cubs in memory of Ernie Banks or "Mr. Cub" to all his adoring fans who loved him during his 19 years with the Cubs. Chicago White Sox in memory of Minnie Minoso nicknamed "The Cuban Comet" & "Mr. White Sox", The Cincinnati Reds have a 25th anniversary World Series champions reunion and are hosting the 2015 All Star Game. Houston Astros are marking their 50th anniversary of having the nickname Astros this year. The St. Louis Cardinals are commemorating Oscar Taveras also known as "The Phenomenon" who was signed at the age of 16 in 2008 as an international amateur. He made his MLB debut in 2014, but died after the playoffs in a car accident when he returned home to the Dominican Republic. The Washington Nationals are celebrating their 10th season in Washington this year. For any and all games home or away we have every ticket package you could hope for right here!
2015 begins the second year of MLB's eight-year deal with FOX, ESPN, & TBS. FOX will televise Saturday night games for eight consecutive weeks leading up to the All Star Game, which airs on FOX also again this year. FOX will televise Saturday afternoon games for the last four weeks of the regular season. FOX Sports 1 is in its second year and will televise games on Tuesday and Saturday during the afternoon and night. ESPN will televise on its flagship telecast, Sunday Night Baseball, as well as Monday and Wednesday nights. TBS will have Sunday afternoon games for the last 13 weeks of the regular season. All other national telecasts are subject to local blackouts except for FOX, & ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.
Major League Baseball was one of the first professional sports leagues in the world. Officially the league recognizes 1869 as its starting date. Though, the first real recognizable league game came in 1876 when Cubs and Braves took the field as part of the National League. Yes, the official first league was the NL. The American League did not become part of the MLB until the beginning of the 20th century, after the two leagues had already organized the World Series and the NL became sick of the AL stealing its players.
Really, these dual leagues, or there interaction, has defined the MLB. They play each in the World Series, in the All Star game and now in interleague play. In this regard the American League has a 62-46 edge over the National League in the WS, the National League has a 43-38 in the All Star Game, and the AL has indeed dominated since the beginning of Interleague Play.
Without a doubt, the most successful MLB team has been the New York Yankees, who have been to more than twice as many World Series as the next team and has won 27 of those series. The next most successful club has been the St. Louis Cardinals, who have won 11. In the modern age, it has not been the Yankees, but the Giants, Red Sox, and Cardinals who have been the most dominant.
Really, this is a new era in Major League Baseball. The league used to be defined by dynasties and Golden Ages, but now parity seems to have asserted itself. Even though the Giants, Red Sox, and Cards have been dominant, no team has won more than two championships in the 21st century. This means MLB tickets are really a worthy purchase as it seems any team has a chance to win its franchise's first championship or end a curse.

Introducing Linus van Pelt Haus Juris
4 Attachment(s)
I am proud to introduce Linus van Pelt Haus Juris.
We got our new pup on Tuesday and he is 8 weeks old. He is such a little sweetheart, really confident, friendly, outgoing and super smart.
His breeder is Haus Juris from Nokesville. His dad is Charly (Charly zum Kolbenguß), mom is Gotcha Haus Juris and the name Linus just seems to suit him. We do need to get him a blue blanky though.
Potty training is going great so far. No accidents in 2 days now.
The first night we fed him and then setup TV trays for our dinner, leaving him loose. He was really excited by the prospects of a second dinner and started climbing us, whining and generally trying to get our food. So we put him in his crate. He wailed like a banshee, clearly unhappy about being sent to the box.
The next night we tried again. But this time he laid at our feet, snoozed and gave us sweet eyeshe did not try to climb or go after our food. He remembered his imprisonment and straightened right up.
Hes my Sweet Babboo. Linus van Pelt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm a huge Charlie Brown fan so I love the name and especially the nickname :D
What a cutie :wub:
Thanks Shanna.
He has already stolen our hearts in a big way.
It has been torture to go to work but my wife is home with him so I know he is doing well.
When I got home last night he had the zoomies. I played with him for a while, then he had a nice chew. After that he plopped down on my foot and slept for 45 minutes freezing me in my place. I wanted to encourage the off switch he is already showing. And it was just too cute to disturb him.
What a sweet face...Our little one was born on St Patricks day also...and another forum members also...it'll be fun watching them grow up..
I didn't realize he was born on St. Patrick's day. How cool!
It will be fun watching them grow up.
Such a cute little one! Love the picture with his foot in the water dish. Raina used to do that when she was little. She was fascinated with water and would try to dig in the water dish outside so I got her a kiddy pool and she loved it. She would lay in it just enjoying being wet then jump up and get the zoomies around the yard and come back and fly into the pool.
Linus LOVES his water dish. In the pic he is pointing out that it needs to be filled again.
One of his favorite things to do is paw his water bowl and then lay in the puddle he just created. He did this while we were deciding between him and his litter mates so we knew what we were getting into.
Yesterday we finally realized he was too hot. He also likes to lay on the AC vents, particularly after getting wet in the puddles he makes from his water bowl. So we turned the temp down to 70. Since then he is even more active but also seems more comfortable.
We will be getting him a kiddie pool ASAP.
Yup, our puppy was born on St Paddys day too.
It will be fun watching them all 3 grow up. :)
What a handsome boy! Just want to hug him!To all of you who have puppies Im enjoying your stories andc your pictures!My puppy envy is growing!

Drug and Food
Rimadyl vs. EtoGesic
In brief, Rimadyl and EtoGesic are both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The main difference in the products is that Rimadyl is given twice daily and EtoGesic just once. Originally, it was thought that EtoGesic might not cause the same liver problems as Rimadyl; however, the jury is still out. Following are information and reports about EtoGesic. For more information, read the package insert or call the manufacturer, Fort Dodge Animal Health, 1-800-477-1365.
EtoGesic acts like Rimadyl. It is also a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. It differs from Rimadyl in that it is given just once a day instead of twice, and it is supposed to have fewer negative effects on the liver and kidneys. This has not been proven, however. Like Rimadyl, EtoGesic has been related to gastro-intestinal side effects in some dogs, as well as to dry eye syndrome and KCS (described below).
Some dogs respond better to Rimadyl than to EtoGesic, and vice versa. Either drug can provide relief; either drug may cause side effects. Side effects for EtoGesic have been reported as follows:
"Dry eye syndrome secondary to EtoGesic" was the diagnosis made for a dog who had been using EtoGesic for 16 months. According to the veterinarian who made the diagnosis, it is a painful condition and difficult to treat. After this experience with her dog, Dr. Bonnie Anthony, warns: "If your dog is on EtoGesic, make sure you take a good, long, hard look at his eyes at least once a week. If there is any discharge, take him to the vet and discuss the possibility that the EtoGesic is causing the problem. Perhaps my Hersh would have gotten better faster if I had been more observant or had thought of this earlier." (As reported by Dr. Bonnie Anthony about her dog, Hershey.)
As of June 9, 1999, Hershey had been treated for six weeks, and no improvement had occurred in his condition.
One veterinarian reports that an increasing number of dry eye problems are being diagnosed in connection with EtoGesic.
If your dog is taking EtoGesic and begins to avoid going into bright sunlight or to prefer playing outside when it is dark, this may be related to a condition known as KCS or keratoconjunctivits sicca. You and your vet should suspect EtoGesic as the cause.
Fort Dodge Animal Heath has now begun distributing client information sheets and new package inserts to veterinarians. Both these documents are designed to provide expanded information about EtoGesic to veterinarains and their clients, including information about possible adverse effects.
Dr. David R. Hustead, Director of Professional Services at Fort Dodge, notes that, "While aspirin drugs might be safer in a specific dog, because one cannot predict which NSAIDs a dog or a person will tolerate or not tolerate, there is excellent evidence that, for the average dog, the relative risk of GI toxicity with aspirin is much higher than it is for newer NSAIDs like EtoGesic."
7-Year-Old Chocolate Lab Experiences Elevated Liver Enzymes While on EtoGesic
2/13/02 -- "I wanted to add to your list of growing concerns using Etogesic to treat arthritis. Our 7-year-old Chocolate Lab starting taking EtoGesic in April 2001. Everything seemed great. She was running again and very playful. Then in November of the same year, she started losing weight -- which is normally a good thing for Labs! Unfortunately, she lost 13 lbs. in just under three months. We took her to the specialist (who had originally prescribed the EtoGesic). Blood work showed Hershey's liver enzymes were three times higher than normal and the ultrasound revealed a corrugated liver. The doctor was adamant that Etogesic could not cause structural damage to the liver. So we went for the liver biopsy and the test results came back with no signs of cancer, infection, or any other signs of chronic liver disease. The pathologist attributes the liver change to EtoGesic. Hershey has been medicine free for two weeks. Her weight is stable and she is sleeping better. If you choose to give your dog EtoGesic, PLEASE get blood work done at least every two months so that, if something is wrong, you'll be alerted to it quickly. We are very thankful that it appears we caught this in time! I could not deal with losing our sweet dog at such a young age." firstname.lastname@example.com

EtoGesic Appears to Have Side Effects on the Liver, Like Rimadyl
2/13/00: "It is Sunday afternoon, and Shadow and I just returned from four hours of snowshoeing. He is as frisky as a pup these days, and I really credit the hollistic vet we are now seeing. He gets acupuncture and takes glucosamine and aspirin and is eating a fresh food diet. Shadow weighs 84 pounds and he was taking 1 1/2 tablets of EtoGesic daily (450 mg). It was interesting, when I spoke with the vet at Ft. Dodge pharmaceuticals, he said he wasn't sure there was a connection between the elevated liver enzymes and EtoGesic. I said, 'How can you say that when they were essentailly normal two months prior to his taking the drug, went way up while taking the drug, and returned to normal three weeks after stopping the drug?' "

This is where I don't mention that update handlers can do exactly what you want. The couch way would be to write multiple docs and use a view to get the desired last value semantics. Though sometimes there are circumstances where one might want to use some other functionality (which clearly isn't related to update handlers doing exactly what you want ;) when the ramifications for circumventing conflict detection are understood.

Baltimore Wedding In August
"If you visit Ft. McHenry, which is not very far from the Inner Harbor, be sure to go to the visitor's center and watch the movie. It's very educational. Birthplace of the National Anthem "O say can you see, by the dawn's early light," a large red, white and blue banner? "Whose broad stripes and bright stars . . . were so gallantly streaming!" over the star-shaped Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore, September 13-14, 1814. The valiant defense of the fort by 1,000 dedicated Americans inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner.""

The NFL Players Association has revealed a letter that it says was sent to players from a law firm seeking to represent a new class of players in the antitrust suit against the NFL.
No other class has yet formed. But the letter was revealed after SportsBusiness Journal reported that a law firm was trying to represent a splinter group of players in the mediation talks with the league.
Those talks broke off on Wednesday and were not set to resume until May 16.
The letter -- which the NFLPA described as "another attempt to divide players" on its website -- from the unnamed law firm said it is interested in representing a class of "typical" NFL players, who are not as high-earning as some of the league's most prominent players. It exhorted players to get a class of 70 to sign on to the petition, and it said it had hoped to complete the class-building last weekend so it could have participated in this week's talks.
The law firm claimed it wanted "to work in a cooperative fashion with the current player representatives." The NFLPA renounced its status as a union on March 11, and moved forward as a trade organization. But it gave up its rights to bargain for all players.
The letter from the firm said its "prospective clients' are more 'typical' of the average NFL player from an interest, financial and damages perspective."
Also, the firm said it had a potential conflict with the NFL because a partner had previously represented the league in a case. But the firm said it received the NFL's permission to move forward trying to build a class.
The attempt at class-building comes as U.S. District Judge Susan Nelson -- who ordered the NFL and players into mediation -- is poised to rule on the players' request for an injunction to stop the lockout.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown said on Wednesday "there's no way" NFL players can stay united with such varying interests across their spectrum.

Can We Talk About Diversity?
Beverly Tatum invites audience members to break the silence surrounding areas of difference including race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.
Beverly Daniel Tatum speaks at "Cultivating a Diverse and Inclusive Community: A Diversity Symposium at Swarthmore College," discussing society's discomfort with conversations on race and privilege. She engages the audience in conversations on childhood perceptions of difference, touching on issues of race, disability, gender, and sexual orientation, emphasizing that in the absence of information, children will draw their own conclusions about topics that trigger discomfort. She answers her lecture's question - "Can We Talk About Diversity?" - with a candid "not easily," but cites the importance of continuing to discuss difference in creating a more accepting and diverse community. To create social change, Tatum notes the necessity of breaking the cycle of socialization that reinforces a quietism surrounding topics of difference, challenging audience members to ask themselves how they can stand as allies with those who may feel disenfranchised or left out of a larger picture.
Tatum is the president of Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga., the country's oldest historically black college for women. She received an M.A. from Wesleyan University and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Michigan, as well as an M.D. in religious studies from Hartford Seminary. She has authored two books, "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" and other Conversations about Race and Assimilation Blues: Black Families in a White Community, as well as numerous articles on issues of race.

its alot of money with the new rangers. Its almost not worth it imo. That 4 cycl wont do well with bigger tires unless he regears high which will affect his highway speed alot. If he runs smaller tires it would work but id rather sell the truck and buy something with 4x4 and a v6.

solid axle up front with leaf springs
Some form of a Dana 30 (I'll leave it you/him to figure out which one you want/can afford)
Drivers side pig (see next)
Donor Ranger with the same tranny and with a T-case (will be driver drop) (recheck to make sure engine patterns are the same)
Convert rack and pinion steering to traditional drop pitman arm style
Now obviosly there is lots lots more to this, but the majority of which directly relates to cost and time, and I am especially against building someones rig for them. But with the parts mentioned above are probably the easiest/cheapest to set up, and depending on part selection he can keep his stock rims too (same bolt pattern 5x4.5").
The reason for leafs up front is that you don't have to fab up arms and such, and that there is not much in the way of suitable coil buckets. Older rangers there are (up to and including '97), but not on the newer ones. leaf mounts are easier to fab.
SAS's on rangers are pretty popular, many many have been done. alot will be on older ones but I'm sure you could find some inspiration from them.
I have a particular passion for Rangers, let me know if you have any more questions.
I know I still didn't give an estimate, but literaly with the above mentioned stuff, in all seriousness, could range from nearly free to $1000/$1500+
*edit: Your best bet for now is to get a really strong L/S for the rear or a selectable locker (preferable) and some 31's. Rangers can handle 33's with a 3" lift, either by body or suspension (or you could trim). I've seen a few with 35's with trimming + 3" body lift, though I'd get concerned about turning radius.

IMO, if you have to ask (which I would assume means you're somewhat concerned with the budget) you probably don't have the $$ to swap.....
1st, it's going to be far easier as well as cheaper in the long run to buy something that started as a 4x4...you can easily break 3 grand on a swap like this - cheap 4x4 vehicles to wheel can be had for much less than that
2nd, as captain ledd stated, thats a very very very general parts list. Consider things like larger tires, wheels (you'll need a different offset then stock), springs, shocks, drive shaft(s), replacement gears for both axles (to push the larger tires), metal for fab work, as well as the tools and skills needed (read money to buy welder/torches or to pay someone to fab)......bottom line is that it can easily cost more than 2500 if you do it right (IMO, right= rebuild both axles fully, since T-case is out atleast take apart and inspect, put in good parts from the start, etc.etc.) and use quality parts.
Possible?? yes. Worth it?? IMO, no, unless you were doing an entire drivetrain swap to go along with it

Ya its definitly not worth the money and time to try and convert a 4cyl ranger. there are plenty of 2wd lifts out there with the popularity for em growing out west, so he should be able to find one cheap, then a set bigger tires and a locker for the rear, and he should be set IMO. thats what i wheeled with for years, you will learn lots of lessons when you wheel that way.

Probably cheaper to go find an older 4x4 ranger, i picked up my 93 for 450 bones, put about 500 into it and it is great. 500 includes ball joints, u joints, steering, alignment, brakes, used 31s and a 3" body lift.

From the Life of Joseph Fielding Smith
"I am seeking after my salvation," President Joseph Fielding Smith declared, "and I know that I can find it only in obedience to the laws of the Lord in keeping the commandments, in performing works of righteousness, following in the footsteps of our file leader, Jesus, the exemplar and the head of all."1
In addition to seeking his own salvation, President Smith worked diligently to help others do the same. Elder Francis M. Gibbons, who served as a secretary to the First Presidency, observed that President Smith "saw it as his duty to raise a warning voice when the people began to drift away from the path marked by the scriptures. And he had no intention to abandon that duty, regardless of what anyone said. That speaking out made him unpopular in some circles seems not to have had any deterring effect upon him; his purpose was not to become popular or famous in the eyes of the people. Instead, he saw his role as that of a watchman on the tower whose duty it was to sound the warning call to those below who could not see the approaching danger."2
President Smith once shared an experience that illustrated the change of heart that can come to a person who heeds this warning call:
"'Brother Smith, that is the first discourse on the Word of Wisdom that I ever liked.'
"I said: 'Haven't you heard other discourses on the Word of Wisdom?'
"He said: 'Yes, but this is the first one that I ever enjoyed.'
"I said: 'How is that?'
"He said: 'Well, you see, I am keeping the Word of Wisdom now.'"3
Teachings of Joseph Fielding Smith
God governs the universe by law, and we are subject to that law.
It should be conceded by all people that since the Almighty governs the entire universe by immutable law, man, who is the greatest of all his creations, must himself be subject to such law. The Lord has stated this truth tersely and convincingly in a revelation to the Church:
"All kingdoms have a law given;
"And there are many kingdoms; for there is no space in the which there is no kingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser kingdom.
"And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every law there are certain bounds also and conditions.
"All beings who abide not in those conditions are not justified." (D&C 88:36–39.)
This truth is self-evident. Thus, it is only reasonable that we should expect the kingdom of God to be governed by law and all who desire to enter there to be subject to the law. "Behold, mine
The Lord has given to man a code of laws that we call the gospel of Jesus Christ. Due to lack of inspiration and spiritual guidance, men may differ in relation to these laws and their application, but there can hardly be a dispute in regard to the fact that such laws do exist, and that all who seek entrance into that kingdom are subject to them.4
We have every truth, every doctrine, every law and requirement, every performance and ordinance needed to save and exalt us in the highest heaven of the celestial world.5
Keeping the commandments is an expression of our love for the Lord.
Our responsibility in the Church is to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, and this we are seeking to do with all our heart, might, and mind. Jesus said: "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." (Matt. 4:10.)
We believe that worship is far more than prayer and preaching and gospel performance. The supreme act of worship is to keep the commandments, to follow in the footsteps of the Son of God, to do ever those things that please him. It is one thing to give lip service to the Lord; it is quite another to respect and honor his will by following the example he has set for us. … I rejoice in the privilege of following in his footsteps. I am grateful for the words of eternal life which I have received, I am very glad to say, in this world, and for the hope of eternal life which is mine in the world to come if I will remain faithful and true to the end.6
This is the law to members of the Church, in the words of the Savior: "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. …" (John 14:21.) Again, the Savior said: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15.) …
The Savior never committed any sin nor carried any troubled conscience. He was not under the necessity of repenting as you and I are; but in some way that I cannot understand, he carried the
Can I help loving him? No, I cannot. Do you love him? Then keep his commandments.7
If we turn from the Lord's commandments, we cannot expect to receive His blessings.
When we turn from the commandments the Lord has given unto us for our guidance then we do not have a claim upon his blessings.8
What good does it do for us to petition the Lord, if we have no intention of keeping His commandments? Such praying is hollow mockery and an insult before the throne of grace. How dare we presume to expect a favorable answer if such is the case? "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." So said Isaiah (Isaiah 55:6–7). But is not the Lord always near when we petition Him? Verily no! He has said, "They were slow to hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; therefore, the Lord their God is slow to hearken unto their prayers, to answer them in the day of their trouble. In the day of their peace they esteemed lightly my counsel; but, in the day of their trouble, of necessity they feel after me" [D&C 101:7–8]. If we draw near unto Him, He will draw near unto us, and we will not be forsaken; but if we do not draw near to Him, we have no promise that He will answer us in our rebellion.9
It is necessary for us to walk in the full light of the truth, not in part of the truth only. I haven't the privilege of discarding some of the principles of the gospel and believing others, and then feel that I am entitled to the full blessings of salvation and exaltation in the kingdom of God. If we want exaltation, if we want the place which the Lord has prepared for those who are just and true, then we must be willing to walk in the full light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and keep all the commandments. We cannot say that some of them are small and insignificant and therefore the Lord will not care if we violate them. We are commanded to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God [see Deuteronomy 8:3; D&C 98:11]. "Why call ye me Lord, Lord," he says, "and do not the things that I say?" [See Luke 6:46.]11
When we are keeping the commandments of the Lord, we are on the road to perfection.
The Lord expects us to believe in him, to accept his everlasting gospel, and to live in harmony with his terms and conditions. It is not our province to select and obey those gospel principles which appeal to us and forget the rest. It is not our prerogative to decide that some principles no longer apply to our social and cultural circumstances.
The Lord's laws are eternal, and we have the fullness of his everlasting gospel and are obligated to believe all of his laws and truths and then to walk in conformity with them. There is nothing more important to any individual than keeping the Lord's commandments. He expects us to cleave unto every true principle, to put first in our lives the things of his kingdom, to press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, and to serve him with all our might, mind, and strength. In the language of the scriptures, let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: "Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." (Eccles. 12:13.)12
I often think, and I suppose you do, too, of that great and wonderful discourse—the greatest that was ever preached, so far as we know—which we call the Sermon on the Mount. … If we will only hearken to those teachings, we may come back again into the presence of God, the Father, and His Son Jesus Christ.
I often think of that which is really a summation:
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." [Matthew 5:48.]
… I believe the Lord meant just what He said, that we should be perfect, as our Father in heaven is perfect. That will not come all at once, but line upon line and precept upon precept, example upon example, and even then not as long as we live in this mortal life, for we will have to go even beyond the grave before we reach that perfection and shall be like God.
But here we lay the foundation. Here is where we are taught these simple truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in this probationary state, to prepare us for that perfection. It is my duty, it is yours,
… If we have a failing, if we have a weakness, there is where we should concentrate, with a desire to overcome, until we master and conquer. If a man feels that it is hard for him to pay his tithing, then that is the thing he should do, until he learns to pay his tithing. If it is the Word of Wisdom, that is what he should do, until he learns to love that commandment.13
As we keep the commandments, the Lord comforts and blesses us and strengthens us to become men and women worthy of exaltation.
To please [the Lord], we must not only worship him with thanksgiving and praise, but render willing obedience to his commandments. By so doing, he is bound to bestow his blessings; for it is upon this principle (obedience to law) that all things are predicated [see D&C 130:20–21].14
God has given unto us [commandments] that we might grow nearer unto Him and be built up in the faith and strengthened. No commandment, at any time, has He given us, that was not for our comfort and blessing. They are not given merely to please the Lord, but to make us better men and women, and worthy of salvation and exaltation in His kingdom.15
If we go into the temple we raise our hands and covenant that we will serve the Lord and observe his commandments and keep ourselves unspotted from the world. If we realize what we are doing then the endowment will be a protection to us all our lives—a protection which a man who does not go to the temple does not have.
I have heard my father say that in the hour of trial, in the hour of temptation, he would think of the promises, the covenants that he made in the House of the Lord, and they were a protection to him. … This protection is what these ceremonies are for, in part. They
The Lord will give us gifts. He will quicken our minds. He will give us knowledge that will clear up all difficulties and put us in harmony with the commandments that he has given us; he will give us a knowledge that will be so deeply rooted in our souls that it can never be rooted out, if we will just seek for the light and the truth and the understanding that are promised to us and that we can receive if we will only be true and faithful to every covenant and obligation pertaining to the gospel of Jesus Christ.17
The great promise that is made to the members of this Church who are willing to abide by the law and keep the commandments of the Lord is that they shall not only receive a place in the kingdom of God, but that they shall also have the presence of the Father and the Son; and that is not all, for the Lord has promised that all that he hath shall be given unto them [see D&C 84:33–39].18
If we will walk in paths of virtue and holiness, the Lord will pour out his blessings upon us to a degree we have never supposed possible. We shall be in very deed, as Peter expressed it, "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people." (1 Pet. 2:9.) And we will be peculiar because we will not be like other people who do not live up to these standards. …
As servants of the Lord, our purpose is to walk in the path he has charted for us. We not only desire to do and say what will please him, but we seek so to live that our lives will be like his.
He himself set the perfect example for us in all things and said to us: "Follow thou me." Of his Nephite disciples he asked: "… what manner of men ought ye to be?" and then answered: "Verily I say unto you, even as I am." (3 Ne. 27:27.)
Now we are engaged in the greatest work in the world. This priesthood which we possess is the power and authority of the Lord himself; and he has promised us that if we magnify our callings and walk in the light, as he is in the light, we shall have glory and honor with him forever in his Father's kingdom.
With such a glorious hope before us, can we do less than forsake the evil ways of the world? Shall we not put first in our lives the things of God's kingdom? Shall we not seek to live by every word that proceedeth forth from his mouth?20
I testify that the Lord has spoken in our day; that his message is one of hope and joy and salvation; and I promise you that if you will walk in the light of heaven, be true to your trust, and keep the commandments, you shall have peace and joy in this life and eternal life in the world to come.21
Keep the commandments. Walk in the light. Endure to the end. Be true to every covenant and obligation, and the Lord will bless you beyond your fondest dreams.22
Suggestions for Study and Teaching
Review the account at the end of "From the Life of Joseph Fielding Smith." Why do our feelings about the gospel change when we are striving to keep the commandments?
What do you learn from the scripture passages that are quoted in section 1?
How is our obedience to the commandments an expression of love for Jesus Christ? How is it an expression of gratitude for His atoning sacrifice? How is it an expression of worship? (See section 2.)
Ponder the teachings in section 3. Why is it wrong to expect the Lord to bless us if we are not striving to be obedient?
How is it helpful for you to know that you should not expect to become perfect all at once or even in this life? (See section 4.) Think about what you can do each day, with the Lord's help, to stay "on that road to perfection."
In section 5, President Smith lists at least 10 ways the Lord will bless us as we keep the commandments. What experiences can you share in which you have received some of these blessings?

Twitch Upon a Star
The Bewitched Life and Career of Elizabeth Montgomery
Herbie J Pilato
Based on author Herbie J Pilato's exclusive interviews with Elizabeth Montgomery prior to her death in 1995,
Twitch Upon a Star
includes insider material and commentary from several individuals associated with her remarkable life and career before, during, and after
, including her classic feature films
The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell
Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed?
(1963), and
Johnny Cool
Two of Montgomery's many popular TV movies,
A Case of Rape
(which remains one of the highest-rated TV-movies of all time) and
The Legend of Lizzie Borden
(which will soon be remade as a feature film), were groundbreaking and remain classics. But
Twitch Upon a Star
also goes behind the scenes to explore Montgomery's political activism, including her early advocacy for AIDS sufferers and the peace movement; her support for all minorities, including the gay community and the disabled; and her controversial participation as narrator of the1988 feature film documentary
and its 1991 Oscar-winning sequel,
The Panama Deception
(both of which chronicled the Iran/Contra scandal of the 1980s). The book also explores Montgomery's tumultuous relationships with her father, screen legend Robert Montgomery (she was a liberal; he was a staunch conservative), and her four husbands (including actor Gig Young, who later died in a murder/suicide). Through it all—and to family and friends such as fellow performers Ronny Cox, Sally Kemp, and Florence Henderson—she was just Lizzie: down-to-earth and unaffected, just like
, the "witch-with-a-twitch"
, her most famous role.

The Inside View Show
Heavily researched, expertly executed, and handled with reverence,
Twitch Upon A Star
is a magical revelation about one of the most popular and endearing performers of all time. It's clear that Herbie J Pilato not only knows what he's talking about, but that he also cares very deeply about his subject, from a personal, yet objective perspective. . . . No two ways about it, this book is a class act about a classic actress.
Danny Gold, film and television producer
I encourage everyone to read Pilato's astounding, loving, riveting, eye-opening book.
Lydia Cornell, star of classic TV's Too Close for Comfort, comedienne, and women and children's advocate
The way Herbie J Pilato tells it, Elizabeth Montgomery just didn't have guts, she had balls. She was kind to those she felt deserved it but had no qualms about setting others straight. Who'd'a thunk that sweet little Samantha had such chutzpah?
Larry Brody, veteran TV writer and producer (Baretta, Diagnosis: Murder, The Fall Guy, and more)
Not only has
's Samantha Stephens influenced hundreds of female TV characters and the actresses who portrayed them, but Elizabeth Montgomery's lasting influence on Hollywood and society has been far greater than the TV series that made her a legend. Herbie J Pilato, one of the great students of classic TV, spins a compelling narrative that brings to life a magical TV series and its even more magical star. It's a true Hollywood story, and more than any book I've read
Twitch Upon a Star
goes behind-the-scenes to capture a fascinating period in history when television was coming of age.

He leads readers on an intriguing journey into the loves, politics, and performances of this multi-talented actor—a very magical journey, yet based in the real emotion of love.

Kathy Garver, film, TV, and stage star (Cissy on the classic Family Affair TV series); author, The Family Affair Cookbook and Surviving Cissy; and speaker

relays a spiritual quest that can speak to anyone. Retelling the story and work of a life can activate an awareness of the beauty and purpose in our own unfoldment.

This book is magnificent!

From the TV 5 Forecast Center:
Low pressure will pull a cold front through the state this afternoon accompanied by some light to moderate showers. As the front moves east of the state during the afternoon, the showers will end from west to east. Drier air moving in behind the front may allow for some breaks in the clouds before sunset. The area of low pressure will also pull milder air northward with temperatures topping off in the 50s to near 60° in most cities and towns. South/southwesterly winds will be gusty today, possibly gusting to 30-40 MPH especially along the coast during the morning and early afternoon hours. Skies will clear out tonight and northwest winds will usher colder air back into the region with lows temperatures dropping to the mid-20s to low 30s for nighttime lows.
Drier and cooler weather will return for the end of the week. An upper level disturbance is forecast to cross New England on Friday and will produce some cloudiness for us with the thicker cloud cover over northern areas and brighter conditions expected elsewhere. Temperatures will be back to the 30s and 40s for Friday. Saturday looks good as high pressure builds into the area. We'll see plenty of sunshine in the morning with a few clouds arriving during the afternoon. Low pressure will push a cold front across the state on Sunday bringing us some more showers followed by a shot of colder weather for Monday.
Rest of Today: mostly cloudy with showers likely. Showers will taper off mid-late afternoon or so. Mild with highs between 49°-59°. South/southwest winds will become west 8-15 MPH with gusts to 30-40 MPH possible especially along the coast.

Friday: variably cloudy, most clouds north. Breezy and cooler. Highs between 37°-45°. Northwest wind 10-15 MPH.
Saturday: sunny and chilly. Few clouds moving in during the afternoon. Highs between 37°-45°.

Adjectives from fun to dead tired were thrown around when trying to describe No.12 Wisconsin and Minnesota's 3-3 tie at the Kohl Center Saturday night, but UW coach Mike Eaves didn't mince words when he poignantly said it was one of the better games his team had played this year.
With valuable points and border rights on the line, it was no surprise to see top-end goal tending, high-level competitiveness and turning points one can write a book about. But in the 258th meeting between the two storied rivals, a little-known freshman center from Jefferson Dahl made the big difference.
After shaking up the fourth line from the night before and getting a good deal of energy and chemistry from the move, Wisconsin (19-11-4, 11-10-3 WCHA) finally saw the results when Dahl backhanded in his first collegiate goal at 3:06 in the third period, tying the game at three.
"I thought our line played well tonight," Dahl said. "We just wanted to create energy and do little things like getting in low. I thought we did well."
The series in Madison was an exact flip of the November series in Minneapolis, where the home team was embarrassed the night before battling back for a 3-3 deadlock the next. It was the first time since the 2005-06 season when neither team in the series successfully defended their home ice.
"It was hard fought," Minnesota coach Don Lucia said. 'I think both teams came out, had a sense of urgency with how important this game was and I think there's two pretty tired hockey teams right now because they laid it on the line."
The weekend also means Wisconsin (25 points) holds slim leads over Minnesota (24) and Colorado College (23) in the race for the final two home ice playoff spots.
"My overview is the next game and winning that, because that's what we can control," Eaves said.
A night after being devoid of momentum, three instances should have provided more than enough for the Badgers to latch on to, but potential turning points that Minnesota (13-12-5, 10-10-4) seemed delighted to snuff out.
- Just 17 seconds after Minnesota' Nate Condon opened the scoring with a power play tally, Justin Schultz's shot from the high slot trickled between four Gophers, including goalie Kent Patterson (32 saves), to tie the score at one at 13:23.
- After serving his two-minute penalty for hooking, Patrick Johnson received the outlet pass on the breakaway, put on a couple nifty fakes and a backhanded shot past Patterson while being hooked from behind to give UW its first lead of the weekend early in the second period.
- Being whistled for consecutive border line penalty calls, the Badgers survived killing off a 4-on-3, 5-on-3 and 5-on-4 to escape into the locker with a 2-2 tie at second intermission.
Each Wisconsin response was seemingly equaled with a counterpunch. Johnson's goal was equaled four minutes later by Jake Hansen banging home a rebound outside the crease, and the penalty-killing boost was quieted by Jacob Cepis after taking a pass from goal line to blue line from defenseman Cade Fairchild to go five-hole on UW senior goalie Brett Bennett at 44 seconds.
"The right guy had the puck (Cade) because not everybody can make that play," Lucia said.
That momentum became a footnote after Dahl scored shortly after and the Badgers' late push couldn't register into the game winner.
"We just ran out of time," Eaves said.
Bennett started in place of fellow senior Scott Gudmandson, who had given up 13 goals in the last games, and stopped 28 shots in just his third start since Nov.26
"Pure and simple, it was time for a change," Eaves said. "The other ingredient in that is he's been good in practice and he deserves it based on the way he looked in practice."

The main difference is that the 1911 does not have the beveled areas on the frame at the rear of the trigger guard.
