I am such a sucker for excitement. Pipo comes to town for one weekend and talks about trail non-stop and now all I can think about is trail!
"Us and trail have a symbiotic relationship"
"The trail gods have spoken"
All weekend long Downtown Joel Brown and Pipo chanted those quotes. Now just a couple hours away from my first mountain ride of the year I find myself pacing with excitement. Mangy Crew Rides have begun....the spring is here.
I wonder which Montana Road Racers are good at match sprints.......

Collegiate National Championships - Lindsy Campbell - get used to the name
UM Cycling's Lindsy Campbell is going to Collegiate Road Nationals. In her first year of competitive cycling Campbell has jumped from a women's category C rider to competing for the win in the A's. Known to the mangy crew as simply the "prodigy," Campbell has been there and there abouts the endurance scene for the last couple years. I first noticed the fire in a February group ride. Bad Bryce, and a few others organized a last minute Sunday ride. I showed up to see most folks on their race bikes and Campbell (the only lady) straddling a 10 speed hunk of metal from 79'. Throughout the ride we pacelined and road a solid tempo. She didn't give an inch to anyone. This fire continued through the winter and early spring. Her attitude and competiveness were obvious, but I didn't see her full power until the first race report via phone from Bad Bryce on Sunday March 22nd.
Shaun: Bryce! How was the race?
Bryce: Campbell
Shaun: Nice, how did you do?
Bryce: No man, Campbell
Shaun: Sweet, what are you talking about?
Bryce: I've never seen anyone ride up a hill so fast
Since that first race Lindsy has improved every weekend. During the TWTT finale Campbell put up a 13:43 on a regular road bike with no clip ons. Jen Nerrison has the TWTT record with 13:33 on a full TT setup. Jen is on of the best female cyclists I've ever seen, but just to put it in perspective....
In the conference championships last weekend she placed 4th in the road race and solidified her bid to nationals. Lindsy has 4 wins in 8 collegiate starts. No matter what category your racing that's an impressive statistic for a rookie.
She's going to hate me for writing this little piece, but the world needs to know!
LCampbell is the Real Deal Holyfield.
Good luck at Nationals! Also good luck to MSU athletes!

Rocky Mountain Roubaix - Training Race to the Roubaix Frykman Flies Solo
Nasty Montana Spring weather greeted the riders Sunday morning. It didn't slow down Brian "Freightrain" Frykman who rode alone for half the day to claim a solo victory in the Rocky Mountain Roubaix. GAS rode well from start to finish. Johnny Curry was in the peleton most of the day and stayed clear of danger. He attacked to claim 2nd behind Brian. Brad and Seb had flat issues, but stayed motivated all day and continued to chase and re-infiltrate different groups.
Keep checking as Bryan might post a race report in the next couple days on the GAS website.
I will post photos and links as soon as the information comes in.
Thanks Bob and Tamera for putting on a great day of racing.

The stand-in Newcastle captain Cheick Tiote is having a very good season, and Cheick is in Abu Dhabi with the rest of the squad, and we suppose they are expected back on Tyneside at the end of the week.
Cheick Tiote – we can make Europa League
Newcastle will then play at Norwich City next Tuesday night and then we play Sunderland at home, and we';re hoping we can even get two wins out of those games.
This is what Tiote said in the local press today:
"At the moment we are in a good position." "We are happy because last year it was not the same." "Now we can try to win every game."
"If we keep trying that we can gain a Europa League place or even a Champions League place." "It is going to be tough because there are a lot of good teams in this league."
"What happened against Man City was disappointing but we did not give up." "We did not get that goal but that is football."
"The referee was the only one on the pitch who thought it was not a goal." "Since then we have focused on the pitch."
"We had lost four games, but winning against West Ham was massive to win the game." "Everybody is focused." "We are doing the right things again. Everybody is happy."
"Before the Hammers game we were talking together." "We said we had to come back in the right way. We will try to win every game.
"Everybody is focused and at West Ham we saw that it made the difference."
Newcastle must try to get maximum points out of the next two game before we are away at Stamford Bridge, and there cannot be too much hope of getting anything out of that game.
Although two years ago we came away with that 2-0 win in the third last game of the season, with two great goals from Papiss Cisse that ensured we would finish about the Blues in the league.
Newcastle were even pushing for a top four spot, but we lost our last two games at home to Manchester City and away at Everton.
Being in the Europa League is good news and bad news – good news because we are back n Europe – bad news because the extra games could again hurt us in the Premier League.
Comments welcome.
Note: There is a special MJK Sports event coming up like we'd like to publicize. On May 9th there will be an evening with Kevin Keegan at the Lancastrian suite in Gateshead. You can get the details about the event and buy your tickers here.

Finding motivation to complete certain tasks isn't always easy, especially when there are a million other more fun things to do. I've been struggling with some self-motivating issues myself and came across an awesome article on 99u stating that the key to getting motivated is to give up. Give up trying to get or find motivation. The simple solution: Forget about finding motivation: Just do it. Forcing oneself to do something without motivation is a whole different issue all together though. Don't you need motivation to do anything in the first place, to even be able to force yourself to do something? – No. You do not.
Doing things without motivation is easier said than done? Perhaps. But here is what I do: Think of yourself in the third-person. Think of your mind and you personal being as a separate entity; a computer game or avatar that you get to control. Detach yourself emotionally from yourself. Sit back and look at yourself, from a third-person perspective, think what you would command that person to do it they were a game character or avatar in your control. Would you make that person finish that essay, clean the house, complete that work project, start up that new venture, (insert your over due to-do list here), etc? But what if that person doesn't want to do it? You are in control, remember. You have the power to make that person do anything. You've emotionally detached yourself from yourself and your lack of motivation isn't going to stop things from happening.
I now think of my being as a Sims or Second Life character that I get to control as if it has no feeling and can bend to my will. This allows me to push past my own issues and force myself to do things for which I would normally require a lot of motivation; even certain things that I don't want to do, or feel like I can't do because of my emotional state. Stepping out and looking at yourself from a third-person perspective and controlling that person to do the things that you need to do allows you to make things happen without needing the desire or motivation to do them. So, want to get things done? Give up trying to get motivated and just do it. In the end you will feel a great sense of achievement for being able to control yourself to do the things that you need to do. You will feel satisfied and invincible. And that will give you real motivation to take yourself even further than ever before.

Charcoal rot, caused by Macrophomina phaseolina, has been reported on "millet" (Botswana 1987). This report is subject to question, since the "millet" referred to in the report was not specifically identified as pearl millet, and several pathogens of pearl millet (for example, Puccinia penniseti,Tolyposporium penicillariae, and Claviceps fusiformis) were identified as causal agents of diseases of maize. Further verification will be useful before confirming that charcoal rot is a disease of pearl millet in Botswana.
A disease called dry stalk rot of pearl millet was described from India and reported to be caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Singh et al. 1997). The disease caused blackening or browning of the stem usually above the first node and extending beyond the second or third node. Tillering was reduced, and plants often died before flowering. Pycnidia developed on infected internodes. Pith tissue was disintegrated, and vascular bundles were free. Infected plants sometimes lodged. Inoculations were performed to confirm pathogenicity.
Konde et al. (1980) has reported isolation of Rhizoctonia bataticola (=Sclerotium bataticola Taub [teleomorph: Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) G. Goid.]) from seed in India.

Common Signs of Pregnancy:
Some women will have guessed they are pregnant even before taking any tests. Trust yourself, if you feel like you may be pregnant take your body seriously. Symptoms of pregnancy can appear quickly and may include any of the following, but many women will experience none of these.
Common signs of early pregnancy:
- Missed Period
- Breast Tenderness (similar to menstruation)
- Dizziness or Feeling of Being Light Headed
- Fatigue
- Frequent Need to Urinate
- Runny Nose or Watery Eyes
- Constant Thoughts About Pregnancy or Baby, or the "Feeling" of Pregnancy
- Lower Back Pain, or Slight Throbbing Feeling in Abdomen
- Heightened Sense of Smell or Taste
- Nausea or Cravings (usually not until at least two to four weeks after conception)
Some women will bleed and cramp a bit and may think their period is beginning, when it is actually just the result of the egg implanting itself into the uterus. It is rare for a woman to have a normal menstrual period when she is pregnant, but occasionally this does happen.
Confirming Pregnancy
Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and easy to use. They will usually give results as soon as you have missed the first day of your period. They work by measuring the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. This hormone is released by the embryo into the mother's bloodstream. The hCG levels are most concentrated first thing in the morning, so this may be the best time to take your test.
The hCG levels can also be detected by means of a blood test that can give you an answer before the first missed menstrual period, often as early as ten days after conception.
After six weeks' gestation, pregnancy can be confirmed by a midwife or doctor with an internal examination. Changes in the size and firmness of the uterus and cervix can be detected at that point.
Establishing Your Due Date
Not so long ago doctors would only give a very rough estimate of due date, telling their patients to expect the baby in late January or early February, for example.
Nowadays, midwives and doctors calculate due date in the following way: the woman will be asked what the first date of her last menstrual period was. Fourteen days will then be added to that date, which is the guesstimated date of ovulation. Then 266 days are added to that, and the resultant date is the due date.
However, most people don't realize how rough this calculation really is, even when early ultrasound is used to measure the baby's size. Eighty percent of pregnancies last somewhere between 38 and 40 weeks. Only five percent of babies arrive on their actual due date. Some 10 percent more go beyond 40 weeks (if they are not medically induced first). As well, many women don't remember exactly when their last period was, or may not ovulate exactly 14 days after her period's start.
Other factors that can throw the calculation off include having been on the pill prior to conception (which can cause irregular cycles for up to three months after discontinuation), and breastfeeding at the time of conception.
If you know exactly what date you conceived, you can add 280 days (about ten lunar months) to that and come up with a somewhat more accurate due date. Even this, however, is just a guess. Due date may be affected by many factors, such as maternal age, ethnicity, and possibly even caffeine consumption.
Getting too attached to a specific date and deeming the pregnancy early or late based on that can lead to unnecessary medical interventions and a sense that others know more about when your baby should be born than nature or your instincts do.

Three Guyanese jailed in Ghana over cocaine
Three Guyanese who imported 414 kilogrammes of cocaine into the West African country of Ghana were yesterday jailed for a total of 34 years with hard labour by the Fast Track High Court in Accra, according to the Graphic newspaper.
Its online version said that Percival Junior Court, an engineer; Samuel Monty and Singh Princhad (it appears that this name has been misspelt), both seamen, were found guilty on three counts of engaging in criminal conspiracy, importation of narcotic drug without lawful authority and possession of narcotic drug.
Court, 53, and Monty, 47, were jailed for 12 years on each count, while Princhad was handed a 10-year jail term.
On January 7, 2014, the Graphic said that the court had sentenced two accomplices of the convicts to a total of 35 years' imprisonment in the same matter. The two were Miller Ronald O'Neil, the captain of the vessel, and Seth Grant, a Ghanaian based in Brazil.
O'Neil was slapped with a 20-year jail term, while Grant will be incarcerated for the next 15 years.
The presiding judge, Justice Clemence J. Honyenuga, ordered that the vessel which transported the drugs to Ghana on November 19, 2013 be confiscated to the state. The Atlantic route to West Africa has been used increasingly in recent years by South American drug cartels.
The vessel is the MV Atiyah Ex-Alisam, with registration number 000471.
The Graphic said that the court took into consideration Princhad's health status before sentencing him. He was said to be suffering from hypertension, diabetes and an ear infection.
In its two-hour judgement, the Graphic said that the court ruled that the prosecution was able to prove that the convicts had a "co-ordinated and well-calculated travel arrangement to carry the cocaine to Ghana".
The trial judge said the convicts had confessed to committing the crime in their statements to the police and noted that those statements could have been relied on by the court without any evidence being adduced.
The prosecution, it noted, led incontrovertible evidence to substantiate that each of the convicts dealt directly with the owner of the cocaine, nicknamed Fatman, who had since fled.
It said there was evidence that the convicts stopped on the high seas to offload the 414 slabs of cocaine into the vessel.
A search on the vessel when intercepted off Ghana revealed 21 fertiliser sacks smeared with engine oil containing 414 slabs of a compressed substance. A field test done, the Graphic said, indicated that the substance was cocaine.
At the time of the arrest, O'Neil, the captain, said the drug was to be delivered on the high seas for a fee of $50,000, while the rest of the crew was to take various sums of money.

Normally I don't care much for websites attached to movies, but the site created for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is certainly an exception. This highly interactive site captures not only the breadth of the movie but extends into the timeless lore of J.R.R. Tolkien's books that you'll explore for yourself in A Journey Through Middle Earth.
To start your journey through Middle Earth, click Begin. You'll be whisked away to the interactive map when you do. Once there you have two options for navigation: you can click the locations on the map depicted with circles, or you can click the set of lines in the top left corner which will open up a menu.
On the menu you'll find the Locations you can explore as well as sound, subtitles, and screen size options. Speaking of sound, I thought it was really neat that the sound goes away when you click off of the tab. I also thought it was pretty neat to explore the site in Full Screen mode.
In your journeys you'll learn lore about the different locations, escape from hill trolls, and even face Smaug himself. The different areas are narrated and interactive, making you the driving force behind the exploration.
This is an exceptionally cool, interactive experience! What are you waiting for go explore Middle Earth today!

You know all those caper movies where the main character outlines some fantastically complicated plan to get into the casino's basement safe or Area 51's super-secret alien-dissection lab or the high school girl's locker room at cheerleader-change-for-practice time?
And, at some point, some idiot always says: "Sure, but getting in is the easy part." (Or "One does notsimply [something] into Mordor."{Google agrees. Bear Grylls doesn't.})
The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory obviously believes getting in is not the easy part (or, if it does, no one is interested in helping with the getting out).
The U.S. military is able to keep an eye on friendly countries, potential opponents and an astonishing number of ex-mates using using spy satellites that can read your Kindle for you through three stories of generic light-industrial architecture and office cubage.
It could also use high-tech drones so stealthy and technically sophisticated they can slip undetected through a dense mesh of radar, audio and visual alert systems penetrating deep into enemy territory before flying over villages so primitive they radiate an anti-technology field so strong that any advanced technical systems flying over them are converted briefly into whatever bronze-age technology was its closest equivalent. (In the case of the spy drone that crashed in a remote part of Iran, the closest comparable bronze-age technology was a rock.)
However effective, those systems still have their weaknesses (they haven't cracked the rock thing yet).
So, to try to give the military as many options as possible, and in what appears to be a competition to create the most ridiculous chain of unlikely coincident circumstances that could theoretically accomplish a given purpose, labs like the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) keep coming up with new ways to covertly place cameras in places cameras should not be in order to keep a closer eye on things.
The most recent attempt, from the Rube Goldberg wing of the NRL, is designed like the abandoned-equipment version of a Russian nesting doll to allow tiny spy drones to cross the airspace of countries that are friendly, but not friendly enough to allow U.S. drones to fly through their airspace (meaning Pakistan).
The cluster-drop starts with a huge weather balloon with a smallish Tempest drone tied by its tail to the bottom of the balloon.
The balloon rises as high as 60,000 feet – high enough that even countries with anti-aircraft radar networks will generally perceive them only as space junk, signal interference or a really ambitious flock of ducks.
With careful timing, precise weather prediction and intensive sessions of body english, the drone engineers force the balloon far enough into foreign airspace that it can release the Tempest – a drone with a 10-foot wingspan and 10-pound payload.
The Tempest flies as far as it can – about 30 nautical miles – before dropping its payload of two even smaller drones named Thing 1 and Thing 2.
More properly known as Cicada, the Thing drones fly to the limit of their range of about 11 miles, and set down, in tests, within 15 feet of their target locations. (Cicada stands for Close-In Covert Autonomous Disposable Aircraft.)
Theoretically, they could then use onboard cameras to keep an eye on the long grass and sticks in which they'll find themselves stuck, though they might get a close-up picture of enemy boots or a tank tread before the signal mysteriously disappears.
Not surprisingly, this series of unlikely coincidences has not yet been deployed in the field, though NRL threatens to do so, even mentioning the launch platform could be "manned or unmanned balloons," though who NRL might get to board and pilot the thing remains a mystery.
If the whole thing actually works, and is as stealthy as NRL believes it can be, the whole thing will remain a mystery.
But then, if it doesn't work – far more likely – it will stay a mystery, anyway.
So, take my advice, and just forget about the whole thing. It's too silly to think about anyway.

painting questions
I was wondering about the type of paint to use under the hood, engine compartment and inside of cab and door jambs. I am going to use base coat clear but on the other areas thinking about using no clear coat to save some time and money. Any thoughts on this idea? Thanks Adrian
Regular epoxy primer can be used as a seal coat right before painting.
It's the best sealer out there.
Mix the epoxy as normal and then reduce it 25 to 50%.
Check the tech sheet for your epoxy, most are the same.
You can spray a couple reduced coats and only have to wait about
an hour before you can paint over it.
I do that a lot because I have white and black epoxy and can mix
a shade that helps on coverage for different colors of paint.
It also helps eliminate scratches and greatly improoves adhesion.
I start sanding filler with 80 grit and finish with 150.
that's fine when going to cover with full strength 2k primer.
I sand primer with 600.
400 grit is usually enough to paint over, I recommend 600 just to
be safe, some colors like silver can show scratches if not enough
is applied. (400 is border line but most get away with it.)
Going any finer is not better or needed.
The primer in cans should be avoided, 1K products like that continue to
shrink long after applied. They rely on air drying, unlike 2K products that
use an activator and chemically cure.
questions on painting
Jcclark, what is a seal coat of 50/50 epoxy? Is that primer? Does it help fill blimishes in body work? Also we did some body work on a few dents and rust under rear fenders. When we sprayed it with sandable primer we got in a can from auto parts we can see the body filler a little through the primer. I was wondering if the paint covers this or do we need to do more prep work. We used 80 grit to take paint and primer off and then we used 180 to get out the scratches. Then, we put the filler on and rough sanded again with 100 grit and then used 180 again. I know we need to go over the whole thing again probably with 400 to get out the scratches. What should be the final grit? I was thinking 1000 but not sure. I feel like we feathered the filler in pretty good. We are trying to get the bed completely done before we start on the cab, then the front. This is the reason we are waiting to do a final sanding so we can concentrate on the whole bed with a finer grit. Is this a good way to attack the paint job for 2 begginers?
paint questions
Thanks for the info. I am going to try and paint the truck base coat clear coat urethane. Do you think if I paint the engine compartment, under hood, and inside of cab with just a one stage urethane that matches, would that be okay or should I use the base coat/clear as well. I'm just trying to save a little money and steps.
I usually do door jambs and undersides of hoods with
3M Scotchbrite pads.
I use a red one if I'm going to prime over it,
If I'm not priming it, I use a gray one (finer scratches)
before paint.
I usually wash and scrub real good useing Dawn dish soap
on the pad. Sometimes I'll use Ajax cleanser but always a final
wash with Dawn, dry real good and it's ready for paint.
For a more durable finish, I'll use a seal coat before paint
of reduced epoxy (50/50) before base or urethane.
questions on painting
Hello Hotrodders, I have a few questions about painting a 85 chevy shortbed pickup. My 15 y/o son and I have a 1985 chevy short bed pickup. We got it with the front clip in the bed and the engine in pieces. Since then we have put it all back together and running good, with the help from hotrodders(doublevision and cobalt327). The question I have is we are now getting some of the rust repaired and going to paint ourselves. This is our 1st time to paint a car but, I have painted other small projects in the past just not a car. We are going to due a complete paint job inside and out with under rail spray in bed liner. When we prep the car to paint what is the best way to prep under the hood insulation, inside the cab and between door jambs? It seems impossible to sand old paint off of doors in the jamb area due to peeling and small amounts of rust under hood? How can we accomplish this the easiest and most economical way? My son is 15 and loves older american made vehicles. He knows so much about 1966's to present year cars. This is not just his 1st truck, but a way that we spend time and bond together. We now got his little brother involved and away from the video games. They drive up and down our private road together like they are so cool. Any help would be aprreciated. Adrian

PARIS – Many countries in Europe face a worrying lack of crop-pollinating honeybees, a problem caused mainly by an EU policy shift in favor of biofuels, scientists warned earlier this month. "Europe as a whole only has two-thirds of the honeybee colonies it needs, with a deficit of more than 13.4 million colonies — equivalent to around 7 billion bees," they said.
Researchers at the University of Reading in southern England compared the number of beehives in 41 European countries with pollination demand from 2005 to 2010. In 22 countries, honeybees were unable to meet demand, they found — with farmers increasingly having to rely on bumblebees and other wild insects.
This growing dependence is worrying, given the fluctuations in wild insect populations and their vulnerability to intensive, monoculture farming with few flowering plants to offer food or shelter, the study said. "We face a catastrophe in future years unless we act now," said Simon Potts, who led the investigation. "Wild pollinators need greater protection. They are the unsung heroes of the countryside, providing a critical link in the food chain for humans and doing work for free."
According to a 2009 estimate, insect pollination contributes €153 billion ($208 billion) to the global value of crops.
The new probe, published in the U.S. journal PLOS ONE, said the gap in bee supply and demand lay with a 38 percent increase in the planted area of oilseed crops, such as rapeseed, sunflower and soybean. This compared with a mere 7 percent rise in total honeybee stocks between 2005 and 2010, from 22.5 million colonies to 24.1 million colonies.
The oilseed crop expansion was in response to a 2003 EU directive requiring biofuels to account for 5.75 percent of total fuel consumed by transport by 2010.
The 28-nation bloc has set a target of 10 percent for 2020 — spurring debate about limiting the share from food crops in order to avoid a knock-on effect on regional and world food markets.
The study also noted that the western honeybee (Apis mellifera) used in Europe has been hit in recent years by pests, as well as pesticide exposure.

What's going on? "Hello, It's Me." Been away from Allen's Page far too long due to clomps on many levels. A lot has happened since we last chatted in this spot.
#92Noon has a new producer and today he started his second week on the job. JOE NELSON took a more lucrative full-time offer elsewhere and, of course, we all wished him well because we love him. I will miss him greatly on many levels but have been through so much change in my life the last nine years achieving a degree from "Handling School" has helped the transition personally and professionally.
The new guy is ERIC NORDQUIST, and we plucked him from KTLK's stable. He's finding his feet, has some wonderful plans for the 'Production and has been a treat to work with the last two plus weeks. I am excited about the future of the #92Noon Show and to work with Eric.
My seventh-grade basketball team I coach won the Southwest League Title two Sundays ago, and finishing undefeated and nabbing the title with a threebie by DEREK E. with 10 seconds left was a life highlight. Seeing those kids celebrate and take pride in their accomplishment and hard work is as good as it gets for me.
We worked so hard for three plus months to win every game, the parents embraced my direct nature with the kids and it's the best sports-related memory I ever have experienced with my son, DEREK A.
Had this kid MATTHEW L. on the team. Not only was he the best player in the league at 6-foot-1 he's a highly touted left-handed pitcher in the EP system, and we will hear from him at a higher level in less than a decade. Super kid, great listener, share-first kid, raised very well. He fueled our undefeated year and hit the biggest free throw of the season -- front end of a one-and-one -- with six seconds remaining in that title game. We won by two on a very emotional Sunday.
Now for me life segues to Vikings offseason and calling races at Canterbury this summer. The big talker #92Noon right now is NFL free agency, and we made some moves over the weekend and today. Here's what I think to this point and on the eve of the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year":
MATT CASSEL -- He's back on a two-year, $10 million deal and that makes me very happy. He's the perfect bridge to the next guy, and that rookie could be taken at eight overall, via a trade to the end of the first round or around 40.
Cassel was 5-and-3 as a starter last year and WR GREG JENNINGS caught all of his TD passes from Matt. I like Cassel in NORV TURNER'S system given the QB is not required to move a ton and to connect deep. Cassel is fine for now, but the team quietly may be hoping it drafts a QB and said 'slinger wins the job outright this offseason (see RUSSELL WILSON).
EVERSON GRIFFEN -- Like you, I was shocked when I heard he landed $20 million guaranteed. His was non-descript at best last season but shared recently on my radio show he feels he was asked to play too many positions and wants to settle in as the starting RDE.
The wish was granted with this deal he just received. He has started one game his career but always has been bustling with talent and energy. He'll need to hold up against the run to hold the job and I feel the team will draft or sign another DE as insurance and maybe be a rotation guy with Everson.
I like Everson and am happy he received this life-changing deal, but make no mistake this is a statement made by THE GM and organization in that Griffen is ready to handle the load. Clearly, they are paying Griffen on who they think he will be and not necessarily what he has done to this point. Good luck to all involved.
MARCUS SHERELS -- Really happy they got together with Marcus, a bastion of class and punt-returning excellence. He'll battle for the "nickel slot" spot in the secondary.
JASPER BRINKLEY -- The team gave Brinkley a one-year "prove-it" deal and the team owes him nothing if it cuts him before the first game. Jasper provides depth as a middle LB and will battle AUDIE COLE and/or MIKE MAUTI for playing time this offseason. The team, too, could draft a MLB.
LARRY DEAN -- The ST stud was re-signed today and is very good at what he does. I have been told for years he's so good at his job it opens things for many on punt and kick teams. The hope is he has to fight for a job on the team and/or playing time because we get deeper via the draft and house some guys who are good on "specials."
NFL FREE AGENCY: Cincy DE MICHAEL JOHNSON was my top choice for the Vikings via free agency, but that is not happening now in my opinion due to the Griffen move. Plus, I was told today he very much wants to play for Atlanta or Tampa Bay because he went to Georgia Tech and lives back there.
Maybe the Vikings uncovered intel Johnson wanted to play for the Bucs and no matter what they threw at him or that MIKE ZIMMER was his coach he wasn't coming here? Maybe that's why they retained Griffen for the price he received? Maybe there was another team who wanted Everson and the Vikings didn't want to miss out on Johnson and Griffen, and with HARDY and ORAKPO returning to their respective teams that would have sent the team into all out desperation mode.
I don't believe the Vikings want to get into a bidding war for Tennessee CB ALTERRAUN VERNER, and I am fine if it's the case. He's not lickety-split fast and really had just one dazzling season. He'll get a ton of cash from a desperate team right out of the gate tomorrow, but I do not believe it'll be us.
Instead, the Vikings might move on a secondary name at the CB spot and, maybe, retain CHRIS COOK if he wants to operate on a one-year, prove-it deal. JOSH ROBINSON returning to full-time outside duties will help, too, because he looked the part out there most of 2012.
WHO DO WE GET/NEED: Given I am not sure how Griffen will perform at RDE and with so many questions at LB I am all in on NYG DT LINVAL JOSEPH, who plays the FAT PAT defensive tackle spot. He's "the A topic" attacking "the A gap."
Analyst/former player BEN LEBER has been on this angle for months, and he is dead right -- we need a behemoth DT with some skill to keep bodies off LBs, stand up against the run, secure backside cut backs and to cause havoc in a way others on the line receive single blocks.
All of that is what Joseph does, and he rarely is hurt. Signing Joseph via free agency assists the defense on many levels. It would be a meat-and-potatoes signing but I now feel it has to happen to aid the defense.
DARREN SPROLES -- New OC Turner had him for five years in San Diego, and the RB caught 86 passes in 2011 with New Orleans. He only had two TDs last year, and that might drive down his price a bit.
He has not officially been released by the Saints but the steam indicates he will. Given his past with the OC and that we probably will need some pass-catching pop on third down from a RB -- ADRIAN is not that guy and TOBY probably is leaving via FA -- I'd love for us to move on Darren.
We head into tomorrow with me hoping Our Favorite Team closes on Linval Joseph and Darren Sproles. Maybe when we open FA-related gifts there's a more sexy prize, but I am not counting on it. Instead, I'd gladly accept these tools to be added to the box, and the goal is to fix the 5-10-and-1.

hello all, is there a speed loader availabe that works well with the LCR/Tammer Grip 38 special?? i did read a few other threads on the subject,most had mixed results with various brands..none seemed to be a perfect fit..

Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
azchevy, in his excellent review of speedloaders for the LCR which Guantes links for us in his post above, has taken the guess work out of the hunt for one to fit the LCR. I personally carry a speed strip for a reload when I'm armed with the LCR. On a side note, the short ejector on the LCR usually requires a pretty vigorous slap in order to eject spent rounds and sometimes manual removal is required which can complicate and slow down your reload with this revolver.
I use the Tuff QuickStrips and bought their little carry pouch also...
I agree with the posters who recommended speed strips; they are easier to carry and conceal than a speed loader, I prefer them.
HKS speed loader for S&W model 36 will work on your LCR.
Personally, I consider anything less than speed loaders inadequate, when carrying a revolver.
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
IMHO the odds of actually being able to reload at all seem slim to none with an automatic, let alone a revolver, when you take into account most SD scenarios happen within arms length. Truth be told, I usually don't even carry the strips with me. I roll with 5 rounds of hollowpoints and take my chances that the .01% chance I'd ever need the gun, combined with the .01% chance I'd need more than 5 shots to end a "situation" is acceptable risk to me.
I did however, just buy a .45, so I'll be carrying 10+1 rounds of that here real soon instead of the LCR which will be left to "summer" duties when its just too hot to wear enough clothes to conceal the larger gun...
YMMV of course.
Here's what I got: Speed Loaders FWIW, the HKS for Smith J-frames only "kind of" works. Iffy at best. I like speed strips, too, but the 5-Star loader is high quality. My only complaint about it is that the knob turns a bit more easily than I'd like. That said, I haven't had one spontaneously disengage in my pocket yet.
Heh, yeah bud I know what you mean about ihop. For me with the revolver its not so much the inconvenience as me thinking through the scenario where I might actually HAVE to reload, and the odds of pulling it off in a high stress situation. That horrid ihop incident is certainly a good example of when having extra ammo might make all the difference if you can find cover. Food for thought anyway. I maintain that while revolvers are GREAT for reliability and concealability, they aren't the best for a reload scenario. I love my LCR, but I have been planning to carry something with a bigger caliber and higher round count for a few weeks now. Just need to put another few hundred rounds through the .45 and test out some defensive ammo, then its going to be my EDC.

Palin accuses media of 'blood libel'
The Tea Party leader has complained of "a blood libel" in the coverage of her controversial statements last year about a Jewish congresswoman
Sarah Palin has accused her critics of "a blood libel" in their coverage of her controversial statements last year, about a Jewish congresswoman who was shot and severely injured in Tucson on Saturday.
Speaking in an online video broadcast, Mrs Palin said: "Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence that they purport to condemn.
"That is reprehensible."
The term usually refers to the medieval blood libel, in which Jews were accused of killing Christians to use their blood for religious rituals at festivals. One example of this occurred in 1255 in the British city of Lincoln, when 18 Jews were hanged after being falsely accused of the murder of a local boy.
The Tea Party leader and former vice-presidential candidate has been the subject of a furious media debate over the power of rhetoric in the four days since Gabrielle Giffords was wounded and six other people killed at a political event.
Pundits have condemned her use of a map showing cross hairs from a gun over the constituencies of Democratic Party candidates, including Ms Giffords, subtitled "Help us prescribe the solution".
Others have noted a remark on Twitter calling on opponents of healthcare reform not to retreat but instead to "reload".
After the map first appeared Ms Giffords, the first Jewish politician of any party to represent Arizona in Congress, told news channel MSNBC:
"When people do that, they've got to realize there [are] consequences to that action."

Therma Tru and Simonton Donate Products for Foster Homes
The children residing in two different 4 Kids Charity of South Florida facilities in Fort Lauderdale will soon have a more welcoming and safer way to enter their foster homes. As part of a volunteer renovation effort scheduled for June 11, the homes will receive a variety of new doors donated by Therma-Tru. One of the home is also slated to receive a dozen windows from Simonton Windows.
4 Kids of South Florida works with the foster care system in Broward, Palm Beach and Dade counties to help children of all ages with support, encouragement and direction. One home being upgraded provides long-term residential support to young people who have "aged out" of foster care. The other offers a foster care living environment for children under the age of three.
Coordinated by local distributor Town & Country, contractors will donate their time and talents to install new roofs, windows and entry doors on two homes. "This renovation event on June 11th will use products and services contributed by our valued customers and partner companies to benefit needy children in the Fort Lauderdale area," says Bill Owens, building products manager for Town & Country, which is owned by ABC Supply. "The top-quality products donated for this project will help make these safer, more enjoyable homes for the children and families that reside there."
The four fiberglass Smooth-Star door systems being donated by Therma-Tru are impact-rated and will help protect the homes from severe weather and burglary attempts. Currently the two foster homes, which are greatly in need of refurbishing, have non-impact steel doors with pine jambs that have rotted over time. "The top-quality fiberglass entry doors from Therma-Tru that we're installing on these homes have the look of fine-painted wood married with the strength of steel to withstand severe weather conditions," Owens reports. "What's great about these fiberglass doors is that they're built to last. They're made of rugged compression-molded fiberglass with deep detailed panels. While they're stylish, these doors are so durable that they resist the dents and dings from active children and day-to-day traffic. Best of all, despite the high humidity conditions we experience in the Fort Lauderdale area, these doors will never rust or corrode."
Simonton StormBreaker Plus windows will also make one of the homes "a safer, more energy-efficient living environment," Owens notes. "These windows resist severe weather conditions without the need for shuttering or boarding up, so the occupants don't need to worry about last-minute preparations for storms. Even though building codes do not require impact-resistant windows for where this home is located, we're thrilled to provide them."

The group voted on two applications, discussed questions about an application, and assigned stewards for four recently-submitted applications.
2. Planning for presentations/brown bags
The possibility of having RPC brown bags by awardees who are 18-months or more past their award date was discussed. A possible workshop on qualitative and survey-based research by outside presenters was discussed. The eResearch Task Force is interested in working with RPC to co-sponsor opportunities for librarians and staff to talk about research.
3. Administrative
The "books for untenureds" project is underway. Librarians' Study Hall may be expanded to include staff, in order to enable staff members to pursue online training, for example, through Lynda.com. The group agreed that a reasonable "deadline" for an application to be considered by the next meeting was a minimum of ten days before the next meeting. Also, the "short form" application cannot be located, either online or in the RPC folder, so it may need to be recreated.

Chloraminesare formed as a result of the reaction between ammonia and dissolved chlorine(usually hypochlorous acid or HClO). The disinfectant potential of chloramineswas already identified in the early 1900s and they were initially usedprimarily to remove foul tastes and odors from drinking water.
However,chloramines were later to be observed as more stable compared to free chlorinewhich readily dissipates, making them ideal for preventing the regrowth of bacteria. Because of this stability, chloramines are now being utilized for continued protection as water moves through the pipes and distribution network.
The reactionof ammonia with aqueous chlorine produces organic chloramines and three types of inorganic chloramines: monochloramines, dichloramines, and trichloramines.Monochloramines are the kind most commonly produced and utilized for watertreatment, although higher concentrations of ammonia can form more di- and tri-chloramines.
There are some advantages to using chloramine as a disinfectant, particularly in secondary water disinfection. For one, chloramines remain in water for are relatively longer period of time and continue to kill pathogens even when free chlorine has dissipated already. In addition, chloramines produce fewer disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Chloramines also leave water with a better taste and smell and do not change the pH of water.

Mariah Carey Shows Skin at the Spa
She may be the selfie queen of Tinseltown and even when she's in relaxation mode, Mariah Carey takes plenty of photos.
On Sunday, the 44-year-old "Dreamlover" dame took a trip to the spa, sporting a cleavage-baring black tank top with a pink skirt and black heels.
And along with several Instagram shots, Carey added captions like, "Having a butterfly tea party at the spa!" and, "relaxing at the spa after a long day at work with Big Jim Wright!"
In real estate news, Mariah and her husband Nick Cannon recently sold their Bel Air home for $10 million, though they still own property on Windermere Island, Bahamas and New York City.

I'd searched for a clean R for years for myself after having driven this one and ended up with the opportunity to purchase this one from my father in August of this year. This had been his baby, it was his second S60 and took him a long time to track down, It was bought in March of '08 and was one of the last, if not the last R for sale in the US. It was bought thru Mag Volvo in Ohio where all the maintenance was also done. Im working on getting the service records from volvo as everything was done thru the dealership. The only issues noted in the receipts I have was a transmission software issue from 2012 which was corrected and a couple fuel door hinge replacements
Since August I have put around 5000 miles on the car, most of that was from 2 weekend trips thru the N.C. mountains, the car handled them flawlessly, its a rocket ship on the freeways and handles like a dream on the twisty back roads. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, as much as I love it, it just doesn't fit with what I need in a vehicle.
Only current issues are typical scrapes on underside of the front winglets, some scraping on the underside of the passenger side skirt and around 2" of minor curb rash on the drivers rear wheel.
Im asking $10,500 obo, Im in no rush to sell, title is on hand at a local credit union. The car is located near Columbia, SC

40,000K Service
Just about to get my 40,000k 3.0 CRD service done, havent chosen the lucky dealer yet, but I have tried to reduce his windfall by buying my own oils and filters, I have listed the filters below for any who may be interested in saving some money.
1- Oil WC0163
4- Cabin Air WACF0154
All these are supplied by Wesfil/Cooper, all around $30.00 each, I got all of them from a Burson Store but are available from just about anywhere. :)
Re: 40,000K Service
also available from here Aftermarket & Online Car Parts | Vehicle Spare Parts an Australian site operating from SE Victoria.
I've used them before for spare air, cabin and fuel filters for the CRD and the prices are right with great service. The contact is Lyn and she is pretty helpful and switched on.
Re: 40,000K Service
Price for a 40K service HA HA HA I have 2 quotes, one for $1050 and the other for $840 With simple maths that is $210 difference.
Do Jeep or other dealers read these BLOG's?
I know where I will be going for the 40K service.
I have already purchased the filters etc from America and the cost from Australia was $454.5.
John W
Where was the cheapest quote? I've found narrellan best?
There is a servicing thread here somewhere - maybe you could post details there?
Re: 40,000K Service
I have been using Narellan and the higher price is from them.
The lower price is from Penrith.
I can not believe that there is such a difference.

Re: 40,000K Service
Try the Cairns FNQ dealer (thiever) for a good price on the 40k service. Only $1200, that's rite $1200 dollars. :eek::(

Laboratory-engineered strains of H5N1 influenza, also known as bird flu, aren't as dangerous as some have been led to believe, said a scientist involved in the controversial research Wednesday.
The researcher, virologist Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands, has been at the center of an ongoing debate about bird flu research among public health and biodefense officials. He made his comments at the American Society for Microbiology's Biodefense and Emerging Diseases Research meeting, in Washington, D.C.

New faces: : WR Brandon Lloyd, TE Daniel Fells, S Steve Gregory, CB Marquice Cole, DE Chandler Jones (first-round pick, No. 21), LB Dont'a Hightower (first-round pick, No. 25).
Key losses: : T Matt Light, RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB Kevin Faulk.
Strengths: As always, coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady are among best in game. Patriots upgraded wide receiver corps by adding Brandon Lloyd to join Wes Welker and Deion Branch. Defense, which allowed second most yards in NFL last year, picked up two first-round draft choices in Jones and Hightower. New S Steve Gregory improves starting secondary, while second-year running backs Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen provide more shiftiness and breakaway speed than Green-Ellis. Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez are NFL's best tight-end tandem. PK Stephen Gostkowski and P Zoltan Mesko among league's best.
Weaknesses: Offensive line with retirement of Light, who spent 11 seasons protecting Tom Brady's blindside, is a concern. His replacement, 2011 first-round draft pick Nate Solder, was inconsistent during preseason. RT Sebastian Vollmer has been slowed by back problems, so position could be another problem, and standout RG Brian Waters hasn't reported but could be ready for regular season. Defense has potential to vastly improve but several players being counted on are young, unproven. Pass rushing also could be issue with departure of DEs Andre Carter and Mark Anderson, who each had 10 of the team's 32 sacks last year.
Expectations: Hopes high for second straight Super Bowl after team addressed offseason needs for deep receiving threat and improved defense from front line to the secondary. Of seven draft picks, first six play defense. They also have one of the weakest schedules with only four games against teams that had winning record last year.
New faces: : QB Tim Tebow, offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, S LaRon Landry, S Yeremiah Bell, DE Quinton Coples (first-round pick), WR Stephen Hill, WR Chaz Schilens, RT Jason Smith.
Key losses: : RB LaDainian Tomlinson, S Jim Leonhard, WR Plaxico Burress, S Brodney Pool, RT Wayne Hunter, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
Strengths: Rex Ryan's defensive line has terrific depth with addition of Coples, to go along with last year's top pick, Muhammad Wilkerson, and veterans Mike DeVito and Sione Pouha. Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie form one of league's top 1-2 cornerback tandems. As long as Landry can avoid injuries, he and Bell provide physical presence at safety.
Weaknesses: Offensive line, once one of team's strengths, has become shaky after giving up 39 sacks last season. Austin Howard replaces Wayne Hunter at RT — unless team signs veteran before season. Other than Santonio Holmes, Jets have very little experience at WR. Holmes, second-year WR Jeremy Kerley and Schilens all were limited in training camp while dealing with injuries. Running game is led by Shonn Greene, coming off 1,000-yard season, but depth behind unproven with Joe McKnight, Bilal Powell and Terrance Ganaway.
Expectations: Jets hoping lack of TDs in preseason — none through first three games — was nothing to be concerned about. But QB Mark Sanchez must take next step in fourth year — and try to coexist with Tebow, who will play major role on offense in wildcat packages and more. If Sanchez struggles, many fans and media will be calling for Tebow to take over. How Sanchez handles pressure could be key to season. Despite several weaknesses, Jets have return to playoffs in plans. Anything less could put lots of heat on Sanchez, Ryan and general manager Mike Tannenbaum.
New faces: : QB Ryan Tannehill (first-round pick), QB David Garrard, DB Richard Marshall, WR Legedu Naanee, OL Artis Hicks, LB Gary Guyton, S Tyrell Johnson, LB Jamaal Westerman.
Key losses: : WR Brandon Marshall, LB Jason Taylor, S Yeremiah Bell, QB Chad Henne, CB Vontae Davis, DE Kendall Langford, T Marc Colombo, DE Phillip Merling, CB Will Allen.
Strengths: Joe Philbin is new coach, but formula for winning hasn't changed much from Tony Sparano era. Dolphins will still rely heavily on strong kicking game and defense that ranked eighth in NFL each of past two seasons in points allowed. New coordinator Kevin Coyle switched to a 4-3 scheme, and Miami especially stout up front, where charge is led by end Cameron Wake and tackles Paul Soliai and Randy Starks. Each has been a Pro Bowl selection. Kicker Dan Carpenter and punter Brandon Fields are among NFL's best, which means Philbin may find himself counting on field position to win field goal contests — as Sparano often did.
Weaknesses: Tannehill won No. 1 job in training camp, and he's 17th starting QB for Miami since Dan Marino retired following 1999 season. His cast of potential targets is less than stellar following departure of Marshall and failed Chad Johnson experiment. RB Reggie Bush is coming off first 1,000-yard season, but he'll be targeted by defenses because he's Miami's lone playmaker, and offensive line looks so-so at best.
Expectations: Dolphins desperate to end coach and quarterback carousels, but they'll likely extend streak of three consecutive losing seasons, franchise's worst stretch since 1960s. Offense needs at least one more offseason of rebuilding before Miami can have shot at first playoff win since January 2000. Philbin will do well to avoid of Cam Cameron, who lost first 13 games and lasted one season with Miami in 2007.
New faces: : DE Mario Williams, DE Mark Anderson, QB Tarvaris Jackson, CB Stephon Gilmore (first-round pick), LT Cordy Glenn.
Key losses: : CB Drayton Florence, LB/DE Shawne Merriman, LT Demetress Bell, WR Roscoe Parrish.
Strengths: Revamped defensive line built to apply pressure opposing quarterbacks after managing just 29 sacks (including 10 in one game) last season. Aside from adding Williams and Anderson, DT Kyle Williams QBs returns after having season-ending foot surgery. Bills have 1-2 punch at RB with Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller, and most of Ryan Fitzpatrick-led offense returns intact. Special teams solid, especially with addition of rookie PK John Potter, who has chance to specialize in kickoffs because of ability to boom balls out of end zone.
Weaknesses: Question marks remain at WR, as in whether Donald Jones can step in No. 2 spot opposite starter Stevie Johnson. Glenn big but raw in taking over at left tackle. Linebackers have struggled against run in preseason, and questions of depth remain at safety behind starters Jairus Byrd and George Wilson. Projected starting CBs — Gilmore, second-year player Aaron Williams — lack experience. Backup QB suddenly an issue after team acquired Tarvaris Jackson in trade with Seattle and cut Vince Young.
Expectations: Bills front office and players maintain expectations are high in bid to end 12-season playoff drought despite concerns raised — inconsistent offense and defense — in three preseason losses. Should be competitive but need to jell and avoid injury trouble that plagued them last season.

Wojciech Szczesny and Lukas Fabianski have been told they will battle it out to be Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper this season, suggesting Arsene Wenger has prioritised other areas to strengthen in this transfer window.
The Gunners are yet to dip into their available funds of more than £70million and have been monitoring a number of top goalkeepers this summer.
Real Madrid's Iker Casillas is at the top of Wenger's wishlist, while Queens Park Rangers' Julio Cesar, Stoke's Asmir Begovic and Vincent Guaita of Valencia have all been scouted extensively.
But Standard Sport understands Szczesny and Fabianski received assurances from Wenger that they remain an important part of his plans for the campaign and that any goalkeeper the club does sign will not automatically be the new No1.
Wenger is thought to hold Szczesny in high regard and is convinced the 23-year-old has what it takes to establish himself as one of the finest goalkeepers in Europe.
The Arsenal manager has also been impressed with Fabianski's commitment in training despite rumours that he could leave this summer given he has just one year left on his deal.
The pair continue to battle for selection at club and country level with Southampton goalkeeper Artur Boruc expected to start for Poland against Montenegro in next week's World Cup qualifier.
Although Szczesny has been inconsistent, Wenger is reluctant to stifle his progress and has reconsidered plans to bring in a top-class goalkeeper, unless Casillas suddenly becomes available.
That appears unlikely at present, despite the Spaniard failing to start either of Real's La Liga matches so far this season.
The decision to sell Vito Mannone to Sunderland for £2.5m has left Arsenal with just two senior goalkeepers. Academy No1 Damian Martinez is highly rated and was called up to the first team bench on two occasions last season but, at just 20 years of age, he is not considered ready for a more prolonged exposure to the senior set-up.
Therefore if Arsenal do sign a goalkeeper in the final few days of the window, it will be done with the intention of providing competition to Szczesny and Fabianski rather than usurping them immediately.
Arsenal have cooled their interest in Guaita after having an initial bid of around £3m rejected, while Emiliano Viviano of Palermo is another possible target. It is believed Wenger has not ruled out signing Cesar but is reluctant to match his £80,000-a-week wages or guarantee him a first-team slot.
The club are expected to announce Mathieu Flamini's return on a three-year deal worth around £40,000 a week and further additions are expected before the window shuts on Monday night.
Meanwhile, Lukas Podolski will be out for eight to 10 weeks with the hamstring injury he sustained against Fenerbahce on Tuesday.
Wenger said: "His hamstring is much more damaged than we thought at the start. It is very disappointing."

Creative Classes For $FREE.99 @ CreativeLive.com ::
I'm pretty stoked about a new project that Chase Jarvis has been working on for the past year. Chase has teamed up with the good folks at CreativeTechs to create a portal called CreativeLIVE. CreativeLIVE is bringing free education to us!
Here's the breakdown of how it works…
You check out the schedule on the CreativeLIVE web site. You see a class you want to take and simply log on to http://www.creativeLIVE.com/live when that class is taking place and you get it for free. There aren't just photography classes though. You'll be seeing more classes about other creative and technical disciplines as well. Painting, video, programing, etc. The classes will be available for download after the class has completed. There will be a charge for the download. That's how they are going to be able to offset the cost of doing it live for free.
I'm going to be teaching a studio lighting class. White seamless and beyond. Models, bands, etc. In order to maximize this for as many people as possible to see it live and for free I will be teaching the class over a weekend. Probably about six hours of live training with live Q&A and critique. I'll be announcing the date here, twitter, and FB once we finalize the date.
I don't do very well speaking straight to a camera so I'll be doing some sort of twitter something or another looking for five people to come to the class, in person, for free. I do better if I have some real people to interact with but I'll make damn sure that the viewer's perspective isn't just one of a camera on sticks in the back of a standard workshop. More details on that once we nail down the date.
Since this is a new venture they would love to hear from y'all about what kind of classes you would like to see offered. If you have some ideas drop them in the comment box here. Who else would you like to see teach? Let me know and I'll pass it all along to the folks running this venture.
Cheers, Zack
Hello Zack!
What really excites me about that project is the fact that you are going to be there! (well, that and that is going to be free) I really can't wait to see your workshop!
May I make a little requiest? Obviosly your (one) lighting is amazing, but can you cover posing the model a little bit? I'd love that.
Who else should be there? Joe McNally comes to mind, and David Hobby too. But man, you are really the best.
Hey, what about Dave Jackson? He is a cool guy too.
I was very excited when CJ dropped your name on Wednesday as being an instructor. Short of you coming to Omaha, NE to do a OneLight (HINT, HINT) getting to see you on CreativeLIVE will be awesome.
I think one person folks would love to see there would be David Hobby. Light a fire under strobist's butt for us, huh?
I, for one, would also love to see someone on there dropping business/marketing bombs…
Zack, where do we start? I think you guys are covering a vast majority of topics to start with. I personally can't wait for yours to be announced. Some of my favorite photographers are already in this mix (David DuChemin, Art Wolfe, and of course YOU).
I want to thank you for continuing to give back to the community. BTW – Are you going to be in town (ATL) the first week of May?
Zack, can't wait for that class to start…just have one request…in your OneLight workshop you mentioned the factors to take into consideration when using flashes, but you didn't mention the zoom factor of the speedlight head…would appreciate it if you can talk a bit about this factor and how it affects the light.
I'm so there when that you teach that class! Very exciting stuff, great idea and I'm glad you're taking part. Can't wait.
Already Signed up for the class through Creative Live email notifications! I cannot wait to see what you have to say!
Best from Buffalo,
I'd like to see some mixed lighting tutorials!
Hey Zack…….i'm all in and would love to be one of those lucky people in studio!!!!
How about a 'how to grow an awesome goatee' class? There's only 1 guy on the planet qualified to teach it.
Jokes aside this looks like an incredible opportunity for everyone. Can't wait to see these. Well done Chase + team!
Very excited to see what you, Chase, David duChemin, Art Wolfe and so many others will bring. Hope it brings power to the people and money in your pockets.
I agree with the first comment:
No one ever talks about this. I'd like to know about posing regular people, especially someone who doesn't like being in front of the camera, angles that slim the face etc.
Stuff that is useful for taking portraits of regular Joe's, not models.
P.S. Whatever you do, your class is going to rock!
Awesome!! I am in and passing it on!!
Can't think of subjects just now, but I am sure it will come to me.
I LOVE this idea. I watched the live webcast with Chase announced this just in awe of it. As far as subjects go, I think the most important class would be subject/model interaction. How to interact and direct your subject. You obviously don't treat a family photo the same way you treat a model shoot. I think that would be VERY valuable.
I would like to second the posing! I have your DVD set and it's fantastic! I don't see you do a lot of the posing in the videos but I am willing to bet you do a good amount at other times and I'm sure you have thoughts and opinions on the subject that are worth hearing. Thanks!
What a fantastic project – and great idea to try and make it more than a class with a camera in the back of the room.
Speaking about suggestions: I know that it's not your main body of work, but I keep fallinig in love with the beautiful wedding pictures you and Marc Climie take. I am curious about your ways of dealing with on/off camera light in these fast paced situations.
Doesn't quite fit with the "posing" suggested above, does it? I would be curious about that too, though.
Firstly, love the initiative.
Second, keeping fingers crossed I can follow the lighting course live.
Last but not least, idea for another course: B&W workflow? I love your B&W stuff
God bless you Zack! Have a day job disqualifies me (and oh so many others) from these free online classes and webinars so many times because the people holding them have a habit of doing them on the weekdays
Thank you so much for taking the time to teach…and doing it on the weekend!
Wow! What a great concept. The lighting class sounds wonderful, and I'm totally raising my hand to volunteer for one of those audience positions.
I just signed up for the email alerts for upcoming classes. Thanks for the heads up!
Would love to be a part!
Keeping an eye out…
First I would like to say i love your work! I too am excited about what CreativeLive is doing. I would love to be part of the five people which yhou choose. Hoping to see more information soon.
You have inspired a group of strobist photographers from Tampa like no other single person. We can't wait for CreativeLive! I am sure if chosen five of my strobist members of which many helped you recently at Orlando's P.S.W would be honored to make the trip to Atlanta to be a part of your show! Will keep on eye here for more info.
Thank you for this great opportunity for learning with top professionals. It is very nice to see people willing to share their expertise for free on the Internet worldwide.
Great guys you are. If we could only see more guys like you up to share in such a way…
I'm totally jumping up in my desk right now with hand raised saying "Me! Me! Oooh, pick me!"
Hey Zack great post I think I look at this site every other day just for more info about your great projects. I would love to be one of the few chosen for the class you will teach. I am located in Florida and ATL is a short drive for the knowledge you would give to me to improve my photography.
but it's not free !
Zack –
I'd love to sit in and be in the audience in your studio! Knoxville is a short drive away.
Hey Zack : free education to us ?
No, free to you [us citizen] but for Europeans, no way to get a Sucksessful stream on time. [on regular hours daytime I mean]
Christophe- Thats to get you all back for shutting down your airspace and leaving Meg and I stranded in Europe for a week.
Very cool news… and I'm right here local in ATL, for when you need your studio audience!
Too bad, it's only for US timezones, rest of the world can't see it live.
Hi Zack,
If your creativeLive session happens in Seattle I'd like to be considered for your studio audience since I live here and it would be easy to get to. Thanks!
Zack–a friend just gave me a heads up on this announcement–will be signing up and since here in Atlanta am available to be part of a live audience
If you teach the class from Seattle, I'd love to be one of your "live" attendees if you still need some. I look forward to the class!
I went to the site to register, but I don't see the link for registration to take your class…Thanks Zack!
Have you found all 5 people yet? I am willing to fly out and be a part of this!
Jacob – We have not! Send in a clip!
Love this idea, I will be tuning in from Perth, Western Australia. In desperate need of some lighting technique and very hard to find a suitable course over here that caters for a professional looking to update. Like others I too am very interested in how you work in B&W. Can't wait… better sort out the time change first??!!
What time will these classes take place over the weekend? I'm super excited and am about to register. Thanks!

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Despite the difference in payrolls and overall talent, there's usually not that much separating the Red Sox and Yankees. 2010 is no different, as both teams entered Wednesday night's game at 1-1. Game 3 of the series and season, of course, was knotted at 1-1 in extra innings when new Yankee Curtis Granderson stepped up to the plate to face Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon.
"If someone scuffles a little bit, people start asking a lot of questions," Derek Jeter said about getting off to a fast start as a Yankee, referring to Granderson. "Us, as players, we realize you're going to have ups and downs throughout the course of the year. So we really don't pay much attention to it, but I'm sure if you're answering questions about it all the time, it probably gets annoying."
Granderson avoided those "annoying" post-game questions from reporters by blasting a go-ahead solo home run off Papelbon in the 10th inning. A second run scored after a groundout, three walks, and an RBI groundout from Mark Teixeira, and the Yankees left Boston with a 3-1 win and a 2-1 series edge.
John Lackey made his Red Sox debut on Wednesday night and was outstanding, finishing with no runs allowed on three hits in six strong innings. He departed the game with a 1-0 lead thanks to a David Ortiz RBI single (more on him in a minute).
Unfortunately, the Sox bullpen blew the slim lead. Lefty Scott Schoeneweis was charged with one earned run after Daniel Bard allowed the tying single to Nick Swisher. Papelbon then allowed the two runs in the 10th, and that was all she wrote.
Ortiz finished 1-4 with an RBI single, bring his average to an abysmal .091 (1/11 so far). We're only three games in, but it would've been nice to see at least a few more hits to ease the nerves of Red Sox Nation. On the bright side, Mark Teixeira and Nick Johnson are both batting .000 and A-Rod is hitting just .133.
After dissing Ortiz, how can I name him the stud of the game? While he produced the only Sox run of the night, Lackey did his best to prevent any from crossing the plate, allowing zero runs in six innings pitched. It was definitely a nice debut for the former Angel.
Hey, we haven't picked on Paps since last year's playoffs. We're not out of line in doing it now though, after he was charged with two runs in extra innings, including allowing the go-ahead HR to Granderson in the 10th.
W: Chan Ho Park (1-1)
L: Jonathan Papelbon (0-1)
S: Mariano Rivera (2)

Low Voltage Lighting Bulb Life
I have some low voltage lighting along my front walk: 4 Kichler fixtures with 4W wedge base style bulbs (installed with the wedge up) and 2 Malibu spots with 7W pin base style bulbs (instaled with the pins inclined down). Total 42W load on a 60W transformer with the high/low switch set to low. The problem is that both type bulbs last only about a week or less before they burn out. They are on a timer that allows 8 hours of operation per night. No load transformer output is 24.2 volts. Changing bulb brand does not help.
Anybody got any ideas why the bulb life is so short?
Idaho Bob
You have 12 volt bulbs on a 24 volt transformer maybe?
just want to head up with some low voltage transformer do have split ciruit type so one set of screw it will read 12 volt and other set of screw is 12 but get one other set can nail on 24 volts just like 120/240 volts system is.
the other thing i need to verify is the bulb #'s IE #194 is common 12 volt bulb or #1156 is one other common one.
this one type of low voltage transfomer and there are few diffrent style there.
you should see the voltage rating on the transformer on secondary voltage it should be very clear marked there.
Merci, Marc

AB 917: Support
Changes Petition Signature Requirements
- Current law requires the signatures of parents or teachers when submitting a charter school petition, either for a new charter school or the conversion of an existing school, as a way of demonstrating support for the school.
- This bill requires that, if you're submitting teacher (certificated) signatures, you instead submit signatures of at least one-half of the total (certificated and classified) employees you estimate will be employed at the charter school during its first year (or one-half of the employees already employed, if it's a conversion).
Impact on Charter Schools
- Creates a broader pool of employees from which to gather petition signatures.
CCSA Action & What You Can Do
- CCSA supports this bill, which gives greater flexibility to charter school petitioners when seeking signatures. It also allows more opportunity to bring a broader group of stakeholders into support of the charter school and as a part of the school community.
- Watch for CCSA's Action Alerts and other calls to action on AB 917.
- Email your story about how this bill would affect you to firstname.lastname@example.com.
