LAKE PLACID - It had been three seasons since Frank Johns had last coached a basketball game on the court at Lake Placid High School.
On Monday, Johns returned to Blue Bombers territory as the head coach of the Saranac Lake girls team, and along with his Red Storm players, he was able to escape with a 33-30 overtime win.
Jeff Potter, who took over the Lake Placid girls program following John's departure, watched his team put up quite a battle, but in the end, the Blue Bombers saw their late seven-point lead vanish as Saranac Lake rallied for the victory. Facing a 28-21 deficit early in the fourth quarter, the Red Storm outscored the Blue Bombers 12-2 the rest of the way to improve to 3-3 overall, while Lake Placid dropped to 1-5 with the loss.

Katelyn Hewitt took over in overtime, scoring all five of Saranac Lake's points in the extra period. The junior guard had been shut out in the second half after scoring six points prior to the intermission, but in overtime, she knocked down three of four free-throw attempts and drained a jump shot to pace the Red Storm. She finished with a game-high 11 points.
During the rally, Saranac Lake had ample opportunity to surge ahead in regulation, but struggled at the line, hitting just 2-of-13 free-throw attempts in the second half.
"We missed a lot of foul shots but we got them when we needed them," said Johns, who wrapped up his coaching career at Lake Placid three seasons ago with a championship team. "Lake Placid is a much-improved team since we saw them in a scrimmage at the beginning of the year. I got the most out of everyone on our team to get this win, and it took 35 minutes to get it done."
Chloe Uebrick led Lake Placid with 10 points. She netted six of those in the opening half to help the Blue Bombers carry a 19-14 lead into intermission. Lake Placid extended its edge to eight points by opening the second half with a 9-5 run and grabbed its biggest lead of the game, eight points, when Adele Jesmer sank one of two foul shots with 13 seconds left in the third quarter.
Saranac Lake then took over and held the Blue Bombers to four points the rest of the way.
Saranac Lake senior point guard Jenny Ward scored the point that eventually sent the game into overtime when she drained her first of two foul shot attempts with 1:31 left in regulation to forge a 28-28 tie. Neither team could score in regulation, although the Blue Bombers did get off two shots from in close during the final 2.2 seconds of the fourth quarter.
Hewitt took control in overtime. She gave Saranac Lake a 30-28 edge on a pair of successful foul shots with 1:11 gone in the extra period, and extended the Red Storm lead to four points when she drained a jump shot with 1:50 left on the clock. Hewitt connected on one more free throw with 45 seconds remaining for the game's final point.
"Obviously, it was a tough loss, but I'll take a game like this from my girls any time," Potter said. "I think the most disappointing thing tonight was we missed a lot of easy opportunities, but we put up a fight. It's all part of the learning curve. Hats off to Frank and his kids. They didn't quit."
Returning to the gym where he led some strong girls teams, Johns got quite a surprise prior to the matchup. During warmups, some players from the last Blue Bombers squad he coached joined the Lake Placid girls in pre-game drills.
"I think having those girls out there inspired our kids," Potter said. "This was the best game we've played this season.
"Coming back here brought back a lot of memories," Johns said. "It was fun seeing those girls out there before the game. I'm just glad we didn't have to play against them."
Senior Katie Buckley chipped in nine points for Saranac Lake, but her biggest contribution was on the boards. She hauled down a whopping 19 rebounds in the contest. Ward added seven points in the win, all in the second half, and Selena Baillargenon added five first-half points for the Red Storm. Cheyenne Blair was Lake Placid's next-highest scorer, finishing with eight points, which included the Blue Bombers' lone basket in overtime.
Saranac Lake next plays Monday at home against Plattsburgh. Lake Placid will be at home again Friday in a girls-boys varsity doubleheader against Indian Lake/Long Lake.

Scryed- Awsome anime with some badass fights and decent story.
Hellsing- If you like vampires mixed with a sorta military theme, then this is where its at.
Blue Gender- If you like lots of blood and giant bug like creatures, your in heaven with this anime.
Full metal panic- Eye candy, funny, decent action, definitly worth a watch.
Samurai Champloo- Fairly new so no real fear of being spoiled, plus its an absoloutly awsome anime, slashing samurai with a hip-hop style. (very cool anime).

a few top titles in my book
Love Hina : ecchi-comedy-romance one of the funniest anime's in this genre i've ever seen
Full Metal Panic : an awesome mix of mecha, action, comedy, and a bit of romance. deals with an elite school who gets send back to school to protect a girl from terrorists.
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien : Drama anime : a very dramatic and touching anime about a triangle relationship.
SaishuuHeiki Kanojo : this is a must-see, a romance drama anime in the background of a war, extremely emotional, be sure to bring a box of tissues when seeing this.
Great Teacher Onizuka : comedy : about an ex-gang member and biker that becomes a high school teacher, you've never seen anything like this, Onizuka is like the definition of coolness
Bakuretsu Tenshi : A chicks with guns action/mecha anime set in a futuristic Tokyo. Lots of action, a touch of ecchi, awesome (!) animation, great story, ... Anyway, be sure to check it out.
Compared to these titles, Naruto is very very average ...

If there are anime better than Naruto (and there is a lot of anime better), I would recommend my personal favorites:
Excel Saga: The full series in a box set is out now named Excel Saga: The IMperfect Collection. I highly recommend this anime.
One Piece: Like Naruto, but with Pirates and most likely better!
Those are the only anime I could recommend with very little knowledge about your tastes in anime. I'm sure other people will recommend more anime, or come in here to claim that Naruto's the greatest thing ever.

It really depends on what type of anime you like, Naruto and One Piece are probably the best of their kind. Considering each series current plot and character growth, I'd say that One Piece is actually better than Naruto by just a tad. But because of One Piece's rocky start I'd say overall Naruto and One Piece are about equal together.
Oh yeah, that guy who recommended all those series at Animesuki, please don't pick one, because hardly any of those are better than Naruto.
Fullmetal alchemist freaking sucks compared to Naruto, then again I hate FMA so my opinion might be bias. It's just the first 19 episodes are a waste of time, all it is is pretty much listening to this :
Some good series that I would recommend to anyone would have to be:
Gantz - This series is freaking amazing, the manga is even better.
Gungrave - Truely amazing.
Monster - Another absolutely amazing series.
Full Metal Panic - This is a good series, kinda of mecha like, but strong character development.
Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu - this is like FMP, but is more of a romance / comedy, that is very good (i'd save you'd have to watch FMP before you watched Fumoffu.
Last Exile - Amazingly drawn, awesome story, just awesome.
Prince of Tennis - A excellent series about Tennis (sounds ironic, but its true)
Dear Boys - Good Anime about basketball
There are lots of series that are just as enjoyable or more enjoyable than Naruto, but almost all of those series don't fit into the same genre. Someone who likes draumatic / mystery series would say that Monster is 100x better than Naruto, but you can't really comapre the two since that opinion is all in the eye of the beholder.
All you can do is if your willing to watch other animes, is just take other people opinions, weight out your options and just try to watch another series. Sometimes you'll think to yourself "man that guy was right this is awesome" or "what was that guy smoking", but you just gotta try and if you find a series you don't like, then just move on to another one.
Also, you can go to a place like www.animeacademy.com or www.animenfo.com to get reviews of anime titles, so you can sometimes figure out what a series is about before you watch it.

Yea I agree Naruto is a pretty good anime - when it first started, now the arcs in the animes dont really match up when you compare it to One Piece, so go watch some One Piece, as well Rurouni Kenshin just about kicks every anime's ass

If you are looking for similar stuff, I strongly recomend to check Hunter X Hunter or Saint Seiya Hades Ovas. they are not licensed so It should not be a problem for you to get them.
And if you can get your hands on any of these two licensed shows, please do it:
1. Saint Seiya. Best Graphics, Best music, best character development, Best Fighting secuences.
2. Berserk. Best story line Ever. Deep, complex and shocking (at times disturbing).
These 3 shows are somewhat related to naruto, and I asure you, you'll love them as much as naruto.

all the naruto haters will try to sucker you in and tell you Naruto sucks
but in all honesty it's a geat show.
I think with all the hype around it it's a love/hate show. In it's genre? I don't believe you'd find anything better. But there are plenty of other anime's to check out.
I personally can't watch just Naruto seeing as how I have to wait a week for 1 episode.

Scrapped Princess
Boys Be- i just liked this one

i HATED that show with a passion. Nothing happened and I got bored with it so quickly!
sorry, but i had high hopes for it and even though the art was good, i just the humor was bad, the story wasn't too great, and there wasn't enough ecchi to make me forget/ignore the lack of story and humor
Maybe i didn't get far enough but i'm not turning back. lol conflict of interests

DURHAM – Some say it's easier getting to the top than staying there and taking everyone's best shot.
The University of New Hampshire hockey team found that out first-hand with Thursday's 3-2 loss to Boston University at the Whittemore Center.
The Wildcats' second setback of the season and first in more than a month came just three days after they were ranked No. 1 in the country for the first time in almost six years.
"I think you do get a little satisfied," said senior forward John Henrion. "It's part of what it is. You have a target on your back and everyone's chasing you now. I don't think it really affected us that much though. We know what kind of hockey we've got to play whether we're 10, 5 or 1. That's what we came out to do in the second and third period. I think it was more of a 40-minute effort compared to what we have been playing in the past, and it hurt us."
For the second time in two weeks UNH fell behind 3-0. The Wildcats were able to scratch out a 6-4 win against then No. 2 Denver on the road Nov. 24.
They weren't as fortunate against the No. 7 Terriers, who withstood a late power play and avoided a regular-season sweep.
Down by three, the Wildcats managed to pull within one on a goal by Kevin Goumas in the second period and another by Henrion in the third.
"I think we're really composed this year," Henrion said. "It starts from the top down. Everyone is confident. We get down a couple goals and we don't really panic which is good. We couldn't get that third one with all the chances we had.
"I think it shows the character we have on the team," Henrion added. "We're not afraid to attack and get back in the game."
It was the second time in a week BU knocked off the No. 1 team in the nation. They also defeated Boston College on Nov. 30.
Depending on results this weekend the Wildcats stay at the top could be shortlived.
"Everyone's out to get you when you're No. 1," Goumas said. "You can't say that when you're in the back of the pack. We were on nobody's radar coming into the season. We fought our way all the way up there. I think everyone realized how good we were. Everyone's going to be out to get us eventually."
They'll have to wait a while, however.
The Wildcats don't play again until Dec. 30 when they meet intra-state rival Dartmouth in Hanover, although they have an exhibition on Sunday (4 p.m.) against the U.S. under-18 national squad at the Whitt.
UNH doesn't resume Hockey East play until Jan. 11-12 when it meets BC in a home-and-home series.
The Wildcats go into the Christmas break with an 11-2-2 overall record and an 8-2-1 mark in the league.
"I told the guys it was still a good first half," coach Dick Umile said after Thursday's loss. "We've just got to trust each other over the break, come back and start off the second half like we started off the first half."
UNH opened the season with a four-game win streak at home to set the tone. The first half was highlighted by a five-game stretch in the Wildcats posted four shutouts.
UNH is off to its best start since the 1968-69 team opened 14-2. BU snapped the Wildcats' eight-game unbeaten streak Thursday night.
Although one of the Wildcats' goals came on the power play, they were 1 for 9 with the man advantage. They had 13 shots on goal during 14 minutes, 16 seconds of power-play time.
Freshman goalie Matt O'Connor finished with 31 saves for BU.
"I think there was pretty good goaltending," Umile said. "We were moving the puck. We had a lot of zone time. We just didn't execute and make plays. You've got to give BU credit. Goaltending is always a big part of penalty killing. He made some saves and they blocked a lot of shots."
O'Connor made a nice glove save on Goumas from the right circle with 13.4 seconds left in the third period.
"There was some traffic," Goumas said, "but I could definitely see a clear path to the goalie. Maybe if I got it up a little higher. It was low. I think he got a pretty good view of it. It was just so late in the game you just want to get pucks to the net."
"He came up with some big saves in the third period when we had a chance to tie it up," Umile said. "We had a couple good looks."

Up-to-date data about U.S. veterinary practices
Your veterinary practice's business performance affects everything from doctor and team pay to the level of medical care you can provide and the investment in medical equipment you can make. Now Veterinary Economics is partnering with Sikka Software to help you track trends in practice performance with real-time data on dvm360.com relating to key veterinary performance indicators, including:
> New patients per month
> New clients per month
> Monthly total revenue
> Average charge per transaction/invoice
> Number of patients undergoing anesthesia in a month
> Number of urine/fecal tests per month
> Number of cases per month with gastrointestinal diagnoses
> Number of cases per month with neurological diagnoses
> Number of cases per month with urological diagnoses
> Number of cases per month with cardiac and respiratory diagnoses
These benchmarks are developed through comprehensive analysis of data gathered in real time from more than 700 practices. Outliers are eliminated to increase relevance and data confidence. Sikka reports the data by practice, rather than by doctor or provider. The average practice included in the data set employs 2.4 full-time-equivalent doctors.
Sikka Software also offers a free downloadable tool, the Veterinary Practice Monitor. This software integrates with major practice management systems to show key performance indicators on how your hospital is performing. You can also purchase Sikka Software's more advanced solution, the Practice Optimizer, which includes a proprietary fee-schedule optimizing tool. We hope this easy access to key industry statistics will increase efficiency and revenue for veterinary healthcare providers and create opportunities for veterinary teams to optimize medical care and fine-tune practice performance.

Seattle-based Nordstrom Inc. confirmed plans Thursday that were previously reported by the Herald-Tribune to open a Nordstrom Rack at the Shoppes at University Center.
The 35,000-square-foot store is scheduled to debut this fall in the property owned by Benderson Development Co.
"We have been looking at Sarasota for a long time for both a full-line store and a Rack location," said spokeswoman Brooke White. "It really is a matter of opportunity and the Rack store will be in the best retail location in Sarasota."
The move also could signal Nordstrom's interest in opening a larger department store in the regional mall slated to debut in October 2014.
Typical Nordstrom Rack stores measure about 35,000 square feet and sell merchandise from Nordstrom department stores and Nordstrom.com at up to 60 percent off their original marked prices.
The former Circuit City space is being expanded by 15,000 square feet to accommodate the Rack store, said Mark Chait, executive director of leasing for Benderson Development.
"This is an ideal spot for Nordstrom Rack. There is an extraordinary interest in being visible to University Parkway," Chait said. "The Shoppes at University Center is a power center, with a strong mix of regional and national chains like Total Wine, Guitar Center, Ross, Marshalls and Bonefish."
Nordstrom Rack stores are most often in mixed-use centers with retail and restaurant offerings, usually near a larger mall operation, White said.
Though Nordstrom decided to curtail new full-line development stores at the outset of the Great Recession, the retailer has been aggressively expanding its Nordstrom Rack brand -- an outlet brand equivalent to Saks Fifth Avenue's Off 5th -- in recent years.
In downtown Chicago, a multi-story, traditional Nordstrom department store was joined last year by a Rack store just blocks away in the city's "Magnificent Mile" shopping district.
"It is not uncommon for Nordstrom to have a full-line and Rack store in the same region," said Jeff Green, who heads a Phoenix-based retail consulting company.
"At one time you would never see that," Green said, "but in recent years Nordstrom has focused more on broadening the customer experience and they know they can reach more shoppers with both an outlet and a traditional store nearby."
The outlet store's arrival also might signal a future department store at the Mall at University Town Center.
Although Nordstrom was among the original tenant mix at the 880,000- square-foot mall, the company pulled back amid the recession and the original plans stalled.
The retailer and mall developers have since declined to say whether it might return to the mall, which is being co-developed by Benderson and Taubman Centers Inc.
The $315 million mall's current anchor lineup includes Saks, Macy's and Dillard's -- with room for a fourth department store, designs show.
Taubman Centers has yet to announce a confirmed lease with a fourth anchor retailer.
Nordstrom has opened more than a few Rack stores in Florida markets with the chain's existing department stores.
In Jacksonville, the company announced this month it will open a Rack by the end of this year near a full-line Nordstrom store slated to open in the St. John's Town Center in early 2014.
Another Rack store will open in Naples this year, not far from the company's existing, full-line store at the Waterside Shops.
In all, Nordstrom has plans to open 15 new Rack stores a year, according to documents the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
By comparison, many years Nordstrom will open just a single full-line store.
The company operates 117 full-line stores and 95 Rack stores, but the number of Rack stores is expected to surpass the full-line total by the end of this year.
In Florida, Nordstrom operates nine department stores and eight Racks -- the University Parkway story would be the ninth.
Seattle-based Nordstrom Inc. confirmed plans Thursday that were previously reported by the Herald-Tribune to open a Nordstrom Rack at the Shoppes at University Center.

The Foundation, based in Boulder, has contributed $60,000 of the group's $83,794, according to a report filed with the Colorado Secretary of State's Office on Oct. 12.

Chris Barge, director of the Foundation's school readiness initiative, said the school district's progress in early childhood education fits the Foundation's mission of closing the achievement gap between low-income students and others.
"We see a very, very strong partner in St. Vrain," Barge said. "They are on a path to serve all students very well," unless the mill levy fails.
The district is asking voters to approve a $14.8 million mill levy override; of that, $1 million will be dedicated to putting low-income students in preschool and full-day kindergarten.
The Foundation also supported Boulder Valley School District's 2010 mill levy override, which increased the number of preschool and kindergarten programs in schools with high numbers of low-income students, Barge said.
"We were happy to help with this initiative," Barge said. "St. Vrain has been doing great work across the board."

A line of strong thunderstorms rumbled through the suburbs Friday night, leaving behind some damage and postponing several high school football games.
The advancing line of thunderstorms began passing through the North suburbs after 5 p.m., producing heavy downpours, wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour and one-inch hail.
Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches were reported, according to the National Weather Service.
A number of trees and power lines were reported to be down throughout the suburbs, particularly in Lake County.
At one point, ComEd reported about 74,000 customers were without power in the Chicago area -- 20,100 of which were in the North suburbs.
The National Weather Service on Friday afternoon issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the region that expired at 9 p.m. Earlier severe thunderstorm warnings and an urban and small stream flood advisory had also been issued for some areas.
The severe weather followed record-setting heat that settled across the region Friday. The official high temperature at O'Hare International Airport was 96 degrees -- tying the official high recorded in 1953.
A number of varsity and sophomore level football games were canceled throughout the suburbs and rescheduled for today. All Fox Valley-area football games were postponed. Other varsity games were able to get under way after a delayed start Friday night.
Under IHSA rules, if lightning is seen, a game must be halted for 30 minutes. If it's after 9 p.m., a game cannot start or continue.
A power outage at Lakes Community High School in Lake Villa postponed both the junior varsity and varsity football games between Lakes and Grayslake North at Polley Field. Lights went out as the storm was passing through about 5 p.m.
Though ComEd crews were working to restore power, it was unknown when the lights would be back on, resulting in the postponement, according to an announcement on the Lakes website.
The games were rescheduled for tonight.
Grayslake Fire Department Battalion Chief Jon Cokefair said his department responded to about 20 calls for reports of trees and power lines down.
"Trees are coming down in yards. There's a lot of power outages. Power is going to be up and down all night," Cokefair said.
In Lincolnshire, emergency crews responded to a motorist whose car was struck by a tree about 6 p.m. near the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue and Deerfield Road. The back window of the car was shattered, and the driver escaped without injuries, fire department officials said.
Metra announced train delays and cancellations on the Union Pacific North, Northwest and West lines because of the weather. Delays ranged from 80 to 150 minutes, according to Metra's website.
The weather conditions also delayed flights in and out of O'Hare. At one time, arriving flights were delayed an average of 2 hours and 57 minutes, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

I don't know your mom's history so please pardon the question, but is she in a senior's facility or one for people with dementia or something like that? I ask because personality changes are common with age-related mental deterioration. In that case there may not be anything you can do except make sure your mother knows when you will be there and not beat yourself up for those times when you cannot be there.
No. Mom has her own apartment in an independent living community. He place is one that people in NYC would kill to have. When the weather is good she plays nine holes of golf once a week with other ladies of her age. When family members come to visit, she cooks for them. She shows no signs of dementia but she was always a bit demanding and, since she entered her Nineties it's become more pronounced.
Wait a minute! Your mom is in her 90s? Cut her some slack and just be understanding.Don't get defensive about her tactics--be bigger than that. Express your disappointment that the situation has caused you to be apart and leave it at that. The situation may get more difficult as time goes on. It's just part of life. It's a sad part of life, but it is what it is.
We know that when people of advanced age start going downhill, it tends to happen rapidly.

text: Hey all. I'm REALLY leaning toward the SLC's to replace my Alpine Type R's. With a stroke of luck my budget will allow for Germaniums, so this is kind of general questions regarding Rainbow. I know they're rated relatively low for power handling, 100w RMS for SLC's and for the Germaniums. The question is, will they take more? I know the Boston Pro's I was looking at before the rainbows basically required twice the listed RMS rating to really perform, but everyone says the Rainbows shine with little power, but will they take more? I'm looking at possibly putting about 125w to each side. For now I'm looking at a passive setup, I don't really have the knowledge to go active (yet, gotta do some research), which I'll probably stick with if I get the SLC's, but the Germaniums lend themselves more to an active setup (although I'm probably going to run these off of a two channel, since I don't run rear fill). Let the opinions fly. Thanks.

Championship: Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy staying at Portman Road
Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy insists he is staying put at Portman Road after guiding Town to Championship safety.
Last Updated: 29/04/13 6:26pm
McCarthy took the reins in November with Ipswich bottom of the table and boasting just seven points from their first 13 games of the season.
But Saturday's 3-1 victory over Birmingham moved the Suffolk club into the top half of the table for the first time since August and finally secured their second-tier survival amid what has been a fiercely-contested relegation scrap.
And with Championship status now assured, McCarthy has confirmed his future lies with Town.
"I'm staying. The agreement was I'd stay if we stayed up, I'd go if we went down," McCarthy told the Green'Un. "Relegation would have been a disaster for this club and there would have been a whole host of changes.
"If somebody had said to me when I arrived that it would need 60 points to stay up when we had seven I would have said 'do me a favour, we won't get anywhere near it'. It's just been remarkable this league."
Meanwhile, Ipswich defender Tommy Smith has spoken of his pride at being named as the club's Player of the Year.
The New Zealand international told Town's official website: "It's a proud moment for me to receive this award.
"The fans have always backed me from when I was in the youth team and it's nice to get accolades like this but it's been a real team effort this season."

To get the camshaft out, you will need to split the block in half.
Posted 05 February 2011 - 09:59 PM
Cam rides directly on the block.No cam bearings.

There is a real manual for your engine here(ea-81).

the whole life jacket thing
Alright. My mom said that she wants me to get a life jecket or other boyancy device for sailing in the summer when I don't have a wetsuit to give me the boyancy.
I need suggestions on what to get. Do I get an impact vest that works with a waist harness? Do I get a specialized life jacket designed for windsurfing? Or do I just do what I normally do and go out with my harness and rashgaurd + shorts and try and convince her I won't fall or hurt myself?
Thanks for the help. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. If you have any experience with products also let me know. I weigh around 150 lbs and am 6 foot.

RE: the whole life jacket thing
- floatation vest combined with impact vest! (helps with waterstarts too)
- helmet, face protection advisable too
- neoprene too, UV, protects against fin cuts, board scrapes etc.
in sub survival conditions with a wee bit of bad luck you can crack your rib during a catapult (I cracked one of mine last weekend winds gusting 4-9BF impact vest is the next thing on my shopping list). Have the mast land on your head as well and your mom will be really happy.

RE: the whole life jacket thing
Hi Thomas,
I use a US Coast Guard approved Kayak vest.
I don't wear it often, but when it's "nukin" the vest makes sense.
I tried a bunch of them.... and the vest I got from Perception Kayaks seemed the best.
It's the only one I tried that will turn an unconcious victim face up in the water. It has a bit more padding in the upper front panels to achieve this.
Since you are in Canada, I think on many Canadian waters a PFD is a Canadian Coast Guard requirement. Check on the laws that affect the places that you sail.
Hope this helps,

RE: the whole life jacket thing
I do have an older life jacket for kayaking that I can use. It is really bulky and I don't like the design too much. I will have to look into getting another one. I needed it today. I was overpowered on a 6.6 (its an old one too) and wasn't in control all of the time. Plus waterstarting was made difficult by the chop that kept pulling my 6.6 under (others were on 5.8's and 5.0s)
When the gusts came and I just finished a tack (stupid choice but anyways) it seemed like the sail just wanted to get backwinded. I could barley sheet in and could only go upwind. What gives? I had a 48 cm fin (stock one) with my Go 139 and a well tuned 6.6.
tks for the help

Hi Thomas,
Ummmm..... you are young.
Next time you see all the other sailors on 5.0-5.8 rigs, that should tell you something.
Staying on your 6.6 m2 when all the other sailors are on < 6.0 is probably not a good idea.
The symptons you experienced today are dlassic signs of being WAAAAY overpowered.
Hope this helps,

RE: the whole life jacket thing
Can you tell me something about my stance in this picture? This is sailing underpowered and trying to get onto a plane. My back foot is a bout to go into the straps and im almost planning if not actually kind of planing.
The things I notice are my arms are bent too much (even though I can always seem to lift both hands off one at a time, I never really hold on to the boom tightly) and my legs should be straighter when I get my back foot into the strap. Any more suggestions?
Tks Roger ad anyone else,

RE: the whole life jacket thing
Hi Thomas,
Looks pretty good to me!
I'd say your boom needs to be higher, and until the board has totally dropped over it's bow wave (it's almost there in the photo) I'd suggest keeping your rear foot more over the centerline of the board.
Looks like your heel is much closer to the upwind footstrap than the downwind, and this is causing your board to "carve up" slightly (evidnced by the amount of spray to leeward vs windward).
The "too low boom" is evidnced by the amount of bend in your back arm.
At the point you are ready to go for the rear footstrap, you need to have as much of your weight as possible on the rig through the harness and lines. With your boom low, you are putting too much of your weight on your arms vs on the rig via the harness.
It may be just the timing of the photo, but work on keeping your board very flat (rear foot over the center line so you can toe/heel steer)until you are fully planing.
Hope this helps,
|10th June 2007, 04:29 AM
RE: the whole life jacket thing
ok... I can get into the backstrap under mastfoot pressure alone, I don't have to be planning, it just involves a lot of leaning over the board. I guess I should work on pumping to make that easier. Mind you, we took this picture in underpowered conditions with my rig still set up for overpowered conditions. My harness lines are 22-28 inchs long and I always feel like they are just too short to raise the boom anymore. I am going to look into getting longer ones and that might help. Do you think with my boom up higher, i will get more weight of the board and it will be easier to take the weight off my back foot? should I get into the straps when I am fully planning? or try and get the back one in when I am trying in the picture.
also, is there some way to pump while in the straps and hooked in?
Tks for your help,

If you listen carefully to almost everything that Yoda has said, you will be able to recite and write a whole text pertaining to "The Ways of The Force". Yoda holds the key to becoming a Jedi. Why do you think he is the one who trained most of the Jedi after he all of a sudden just appeared out of nowhere? Why can't anybody tell you who trained Yoda? He is of an unknown race. And most of his past is vague. Why is that so? But most importantly, when Yoda dies, he simply became one with the Force. He's the only one who has done that. All of the other Jedi have died in battle except Yoda. Yoda kept himself in meditation. Now, as far as books go, the only thing that comes close to explaining and showing how to become a Jedi would be "A Search For God"-books 1 & 2 by Edgar Cayce (A.R.E. Press). It is "Christian" based in it's language, however, it does give he reader a road map using meditaion. Who is Edgar Cayce? Edgar Cayce was a clairvoyant and an oracle. This will help you get closer to your goal of learning the ways of the Force. Please check it out. And oh yeah,...May The Force Be With You

Yoda was not the first Jedi the Jedi had existed for millenia before Yoda was born and he was not the only member of his race who was a Jedi; Master Yaddle was of the same race (which is unidentified), and is killed between episode I and II.
Yoda learns of thr technique to retain his conciousness when merged with the Force from Qui Gon Jin, and then later passes it onto Obi Wan Kenobi. For some reason Anakin Skywalker also learns of this technique. I am certain that Luke Skywalker also learns the technique, and makes use of it while he is "dead".
Further, that Luke Skywalker restarts the Jedi Order after the events of episode VI, proves that Yoda is not the only one who was capable of making someone a Jedi.
I would suggest the Jedi vs Sith: Essential Guide to the Force, which not only contains the history of both the Jedi and Sith orders, but also the techniques, philosophies and beliefs of both the Jedi and Sith, if you are looking for cannonical information about the beliefs of the Jedi.

Not saying that Yoda was the first. Not saying that Yoda was the last. However, Yoda was the best and the wisest Jedi that has ever been presented in the whole story line. Even though his voice reminds one of His Holiness The Dalai Lama(LOL) . Yoda is really the only ascended master; everyone else has died in battle. Yoda became one with the force much like Christians believe that Jesus ascended to the Heavenly realm and became one with The Father (i.e., God...The Almighty Creator, The Force).

Well - let's face it - Yoda had many terrific movie lines and I thought they had a lot of meaning.
As someone who follows "The Jedi Path" I find meaning in all words - isn't the Force a part of all things?
Personally - the Jedi Code has always been my favorite. The more time that passes - the deeper I seem to find meaning within it - as all prayers and messages of a spiritual type can grow and develop with us.
But yes - Yoda has a "way" and a "message" that has appealed to many!

Technically, while it is true that Obi-Wan was engaged in a battle when he ascended, he chose to ascend before Vader was able to strike the final blow (Hence his robes are empty before Vader strikes).

Has anyone ever quoted Yoda on what he had to say about The Force? Has anybody even taken the time to study his life's story as given in Star Wars history books and the website's database? If you do just a little bit of homework, I'm sure you'll find that Yoda really is somewhat of a messianic figure. He sought to teach and help develope the padawans who were going to become future Jedi rather than hold the highest ranking postion on the counsil. Has anybody ever wondered if the colors of the light sabre are supposed to reflect the soul or chakra level of the Jedi? hmmm... seems like there is more to Yoda than what George Lucas has been willing to tell. But of course, that would take away from Skywalker theme - can't sell movie tickets based on a little green creature - not a good marketing scheme. Besides, people wouldn't buy it. So, he had to be smart and sneak it in the story line. Just remember this: the student can never be greater than the teacher.

I am more about the idea of the philosophy/spirituality/body-mind-spirit lifestyle and lifelong learning and training aspect of the Jedi... But I have to agree - Yoda was not "fleshed-out" as he might have been. I never considered him messiahnic - but he is an enigmatic character - especially considering some of his more famour quotes. Back in the day when RPG was more the thing in the Jedi Community I imagine Yoda may have been more considered. That was before my time I'm afraid. I think RPG can be a really interesting way to study a character by either interacting with him in RPG or trying to fit inside his green skin. Lots to consider... : )

I hadn't seen that before - it was interesting...
Yoda's quotes are really what make Yoda important as a figure in Star Wars. It would be interesting to hear what George Lucas would create for Yoda's history. **I especially thought the explanation of the "dark Froce tree" on Degobah interesting - as the film does show the forest and in particular one tree... I wonder... Heh.

The Chakras have nothing to do with the colour of light sabre blades, the colour is actually depenedent upon the period in republic history, and the needs of the jedi/sith at the time. Traditionally, the differing colour of blades is representitive of the function or path of a specific Jedi, but this does not leave out totally arbitrary reasons.
Secondly, Yoda is the head of the Jedi council, although he also teaches younglings of the foundations of the Force (something which puts him an especially good posistion to train Luke) and little is actually known about his life story, and even less about his species (which has never been given a name) and only two other of his kind are recorded, Master's Yaddle and another from the Old Republic, his name escapes me at the moment.
I think you're merely projecting your own beliefs into an existing mythology, which already has perfectly understood explanations for it.

Christine Duvivier, MBA '82, founder of Positive Leaders LLC
Unleashing Hidden Talents
Founder of Positive Leaders LLC, Duvivier's mission is to help students, educators and parents understand how to unleash students' hidden talents. Duvivier also seeks to help businesses find and cultivate the kind of skilled talent they are looking to hire.
Though her current work is all about bringing positive change to her clients, Duvivier's desire to start the company stemmed from a tragedy. In 2007, Duvivier learned that a close family friend committed suicide because he was struggling in school, and realized that she had to do something.
"I knew other teenagers just like him — kids who have tremendous promise, but who don't excel in school," Duvivier says. Following the tragedy, Duvivier, who was already working as a consultant for various clients, "threw out" her research on reaching the highest levels of motivation in business and started over.
Duvivier redirected her work and effort towards the field of education, and discovered what she calls "The Myths of Education," — three myths that harm students and prevent them from succeeding. "My work led me to identify hidden gifts in students," she says, "and to challenge the notion that those who aren't top performers have something wrong with them and are not positioned for success in life."
Getting the support and funding needed to get her organization on its way was not an easy feat, but Duvivier realized early on that having a clear focus and goal for her organization would make a major difference. "When I've gotten clear on what resources or support I want, it has usually come easily, but when I've been vague in my own mind about what I'm looking for or why, it's often not worked out well," she explains.
Today, Duvivier works with many clients ranging from students and parents, to educators and business executives, and relies on a variety of techniques from large, lecture-style seminars to one-on-one sessions. Though all clients have different needs, Duvivier says that identifying and understanding them isn't as difficult as it would seem.
"I have consulted and mentored with business executives for years, so that comes naturally at this point," she says. "Meanwhile, I was a parent and was involved in the community, so those are groups I naturally relate to as well. It's all evolved over time and once you understand the culture of a particular group, it's not hard to adapt your work to help them achieve the results they want," she adds.
In the future, Duvivier hopes to bring the work that Positive Leaders LLC does to other countries. "I have been using technology like the Web and video to supplement and expand my ability to connect with people, and people in seemingly very different cultures — like Tokyo, Sydney, and Geneva — have been asking for and responding well to my work," she says. "I want to continue sharing my messages and approaches with anyone who wants them."
Though Duviver graduated from Johnson in 1982, she still thinks back to her time at the school with fond memories. "The thing I remember most about Johnson is having fun," Duvivier recalls. "I picked the school because the students seemed fun when I visited, and fell in love with the view from the top of libe slope. The fun factor at Johnson turned out to be important, because I went on to seek out organizations and jobs that I thought would be more fun than the alternatives at that moment."
Duvivier also met her husband, David Olaksen, MBA '82, at Johnson, and credits him with being a huge support when she was just getting her business up and running and "started reducing one stream of income before I had another fully going."
An avid basketball, tennis, and hockey player, Duviver is glad she was able to pass on her passion for ice skating to at least one of her children. "My kids were not very interested in skating, so you can imagine my delight when my daughter, Katherine Olaksen, MBA '13, joined the hockey team at Johnson this year," Duvivier says. "She has even learned to do a hockey stop, something I never could do," she jokes.
Maria Minsker '13 is an intern in Marketing and Communications at Johnson.

PLAINVIEW, Texas (AP) -- The impending closure of a Cargill Beef plant that employs 2,000 people has residents in one West Texas town praying for rain.
Cargill announced earlier this month it would close its plant in Plainview due to a tight cattle supply following years of drought. The severe lack of rain forced ranchers to sell off millions of animals they couldn't afford to feed, then leaving them to hold on to the relatively few cattle they had left.
The closure could devastate Plainview, a town of 22,000 people north of Lubbock.
The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/Xd5pAv ) that more than 300 people held a prayer rally Monday. One pastor called out for rain as attendees raised their hands in the air.
Others said they hoped the plant closure would open new opportunities elsewhere.

Billy Butler hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning Tuesday night to lift the Kansas City Royals to a 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox.
"The way things have been going we haven't come back late in games," said Butler. "Hopefully that gets us going. Obviously games like that build confidence, not only for me but for the team. Hopefully we can feed off that and have a winning homestand."
The Royals evened up their six-game homestand against the Yankees and Red Sox on Butler's blast off Matt Albers, who had just come into the game for Boston starter Daniel Bard (2-4).
Jarrod Dyson and Alex Gordon drew back-to-back walks before Butler launched a 1-1 pitch into the fountain behind left-center field.
"I can sit here and second guess if I just execute," said Albers, "but I didn't stay back over the rubber quite enough and the ball leaked over the plate and he's a good hitter."
Jose Mijares (2-1) gave up two singles but faced just seven batters in the seventh and eighth innings to earn the win. Royals starter Danny Duffy, who beat the Yankees his last time out, gave up four runs -- three earned -- in 4 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox had snapped a five-game losing streak in an 11-5 win in the opener of this three-game series on Monday, but let the Royals come back in this one. Bard, the former reliever making his fifth start, was charged with five runs on six hits in seven-plus innings.
Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks labored as he pulled into second for a double in the second inning and left the game with an apparent leg injury.
The hit sparked a two-run rally. Middlebrooks later scored on Kelly Shoppach's single and Dustin Pedroia walked with the bases loaded to force in the second run.
The Royals took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the inning, getting the first run on a balk by Bard that scored Eric Hosmer, who had led off the inning with a single. Another balk sent Mike Moustakas to third base and he scored on Chris Getz's single. Humberto Quintero added an RBI base hit with two outs.
The Red Sox moved ahead with a run in the fifth and sixth innings.
Mike Aviles hit a two-out double in the fourth and scored on Pedroia's single, while a double by Adrian Gonzalez and walk to Nick Punto chased Duffy from the game in the fifth. The go-ahead run scored when pinch-hitter Ryan Sweeney grounded into a force out off Kelvin Herrera.
After Butler put the Royals ahead, Jonathan Broxton threw a perfect ninth to pick up his sixth save.
Game Notes
The Red Sox had won eight of the previous 11 meetings...Punto replaced Middlebrooks at third base to start the second inning...Boston stranded eight runners.

Eastman MRS shows 74 one of the better units, so I guess it won't hurt to discuss 74. It is the unit I have hunted the most and where I will be this fall. My hunting pard and I have enough pts and have applied for 74 again. I havn't hunted it for 6 or 7 years now as I've been mostly concentrating on elk. I won't be there until a week or so after the opening as both of us have other hunting commitments. There is some private land, usually fenced. While I have seen some great bucks there, the best for me is one thats 16+" and scores in the high 170's.
I normally don't hunt opening week, so I usually never see any other hunters. Get some good topo maps (Rattlesnake Hills) and go from there. In the past there was a lot of gas/oil well activity, but can't answer that now as it's been awhile since I've been there. Plan on camping out as there are almost no motels closer than Shoshone. Used to stay at Hells Half Acre, but it was closed the last time I was thru there.
Hope some of this helps. I probably won't leave Colorado till the 25/26 of Sept, after BP elk season is over....unless I get real lucky!

Do you appreciate our local volunteers?
The Star newspaper of Dec. 28, 2011, has the front page story of Jeanne Moon as the Volunteer of the Year for 2011. I'm sure Jeanne Moon well deserves this honor for all Jeanne does for the people in the Nespelem area and beyond! I would like to say thanks a bunch to Jeanne Moon and I hope you keep up the good work!
According to the newspaper article, there were nine contestants for the volunteer of the year, with a total of 218 votes. All of the nominees deserve a big thank you for volunteering!
My questions to all citizens of the Grand Coulee Dam area is: Did you vote for the Volunteer of the Year?
I called the city halls of our five local communities for a population count of each town and the total population was 3,635.
With a 218-vote tally with a population of 3,635 it comes across to me like who cares? Do you really care about all of our volunteers in the Grand Coulee Dam area? What would our area be like without all of the volunteers, such as the EMTs, firemen, and all who volunteer for community projects, etc?
I would like to say thanks a bunch to Scott Hunter, editor of The Star newspaper for a job well done with the Volunteer of the Year program.
I'm pretty sure Scott would be open to suggestions on how to get more citizens to vote for the volunteer of the year. If you have an idea or a suggestion, give Scott a call.
If you really care about our area volunteers, show your support for them, and next year get out and vote for the volunteer of your choice as listed in the paper!
When was the last time that you said thank you to our area volunteers, such as an EMT, a fireman, a veteran, or to any one of our many area volunteers?
A thank you doesn't cost a cent and it means a lot to someone who receives it.
What would we do without all of our volunteers?
Remember: get out and vote.
Proud to be American

Recipe courtesy of Wanda Hall of Les Petits Bisous in Havre de Grace. Makes roughly 30 regular-sized macarons.
3 ounces heavy cream
3 ounces white chocolate cut into small pieces
2 small candy canes, crushed
Whites from 4 eggs
6 ounces ground blanched almond meal
9 ounces confectioner's sugar
4 ounces granulated sugar
Red food coloring (gel works better than liquid)
Special tools needed
2 piping bags
2 #12 piping tips
Electric mixer
Food processor
Parchment paper
For ganache filling
1. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until edges start to bubble. Remove from heat and add white chocolate. Beginning in the center of the pan, stir in small circles until white chocolate is completely dissolved. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and place in refrigerator to cool completely. Once cool, add crushed candy canes and beat with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes, until fluffy, but stop before chocolate and cream start to separate.
2. Keep ganache cool, and then scoop into a piping bag with a #12 tip when you're ready to fill the macarons.
For White Sides
1. Separate two egg whites into mixing bowl, and let sit while you prep the rest of your ingredients. This allows the whites to "air" for a couple of minutes, which improves your meringue.
2. Grind 3 ounces of almond meal and 4.5 ounces of confectioner's sugar in a food processor for about a minute.
3. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then prepare a piping bag with a #12 tip, and clip the end of the bag, right above the tip, with a bag clip or bobby pin; place bag tip down into a jug-type container or jar so that it stands on its tip on its own (you'll appreciate having both hands to pour in your batter).
4. To make your meringue, start mixing with an electric beater until frothy; add 2 ounces of granulated sugar gradually; whip meringue until it's shiny and stiff (when you turn the bowl upside down the meringue should not move) but not so much that the meringue breaks. If the meringue is over-whipped it will lose its glossy shine.
5. Add almond meal mixture to meringue to start the "macaronage" process: Blend ingredients by stirring with a wooden or plastic spoon, scraping the bottom of the bowl and hitting the sides of the bowl with each stir in a circular motion. After several minutes of stirring, the mixture will transform into a silky, shiny batter, falling like a smooth ribbon from your spoon. Pour batter into your piping bag and unclip the tip once you're standing over your parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Pipe 1.5-inch circles onto your parchment paper — using a template helps tremendously here. You can trace 1.5-inch circles onto one sheet of parchment, then cover that with another sheet to pipe onto (just don't forget to remove your template before putting your macarons in the oven!). Once you're finished piping, grab the cookie sheet with both hands and drop it flat on your table several times. This pushes air bubbles out of your macarons and helps ensure a smooth finish once baked.
7. Let macarons sit for 30 to 40 minutes in open air until they are dry to the touch. Once dry, bake at 290 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool before trying to remove from parchment paper.
For Red Sides
1. Use the second half of your ingredients, and follow instructions for white sides. Once your meringue is whipped, before adding almond mixture, add red food coloring and stir through briskly. Once you have reached your desired shade of red, continue by adding your almond mixture, completing the macaronage as described above.
2. Once both white and red macarons are baked and cool, arrange them on a large cookie sheet alternating between each color. Place your red macarons bottoms up. Pipe a small amount (think the size of a nickel) of ganache onto each red macaron. Top each with a white macaron. Place macarons in a covered airtight container and leave in the refrigerator to "meld" for 24 hours. Serve at room temperature. Macarons can be kept fresh for up to a week if refrigerated in an airtight container.

Just released by the Jags..I know he dropped the GW TD pass in the AFCCG but we need a veteran WR outside of Holmes...He was always a threat in Buffalo...we should bring him him and see how much he has left in the tank....thoughts??
I don't know... I think we're probably better off with hill and turner at this point than bringing in old washed up vets
Pass Was beaten out by no names in Buff, then in Balt, now JAX!!! If he can't beat out Mike Thomas I don't think he would be of use here. Jax wasn't asking him to start.
why not?
We need WR help, Evans isn't going to provide that. It's not like J'ville is loaded at WR or something.
Is this a serious thread?
I think right now Hill can do everything Evans can. The question will be if Evans can line up in the slot as a #3 better than Kerley.
Might be worth a look, but if the jags waive you, look out
A few years back maybe. But now, just say NO
I mean, are we that comfortable with Glazz Schilens?
I am fairly confident this guy is done.
That said, what have we to lose by just taking a look? At this somewhat desperate juncture, I think we would be remiss not to at least take a look.
This just in breaking news Chad Johnson has been released by the Dolphins according to ESPN Jay Glazer. Johnson was arrested for domestic violence on saturday and now he's out of a job any takers here?
The only reason I can think of for you saying this, is because he would be extra fired up to play against th Pats and Dolphins .... Not gonna happen ... Can you imagine the circus

I agree with the suggestion to talk to the boss beforehand to give him a heads up on what you plan to write. I also suggest that you ask for copies of your previous reviews of the employee so you can refer to the previous unresolved issues and what you have tried to do for training. It will help show this is an ongoing problem.
Cheyne, I'm similar to you in that I seldom *tell* people what to do but you're right...M keeps wandering off and has to be ordered back on task and I just don't have time for that nonsense.
I feel like a real jerk having to have done it, but there are safety and cost issues to bear in mind

As storms battered Northern California, homeowners in Truckee were on alert that their city's namesake river threatened to flood. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
Updated at 5 p.m. ET: Heavy rain storms dumping on central and north California Saturday night and Sunday knocked out power to thousands in San Francisco, Sacramento and elsewhere and caused moderate flooding in a number of communities.
The area, which had been saturated by two major weather systems in the last five days, is expected to receive a short reprieve from the rain before another storm comes through on Tuesday evening, The Weather Channel reported.
The inundation has caused a number of mud and rock slides, mostly during the period of heaviest rain, which then moved eastward across Fresno and Merced, Calif.
There were also reports of road flooding during and just after the heaviest rain, but that threat appeared to lessen as the rain moved into regions that haven't had as much recent rain. All flash flood warnings have expired.
The Truckee River, which wends its way from Lake Tahoe in California to Pyramid Lake in Nevada, 120 miles to the northeast, was rising more slowly than expected, and most flood predictions along the way were scaled back.
In Truckee, Calif., the river was expected to cause minor flooding Sunday afternoon and evening and moderate flooding east of Reno near Vista, Nev. as it crests at a predicted 18.7 feet.
The threat of flooding prompted officials in Truckee, a town of about 16,000, to set up an evacuation center.
Just across the border in Nevada, a state of emergency was declared in Washoe County, including the cities of Reno and Sparks, due to the expected flooding. In Reno, several casinos announced cut-rate rooms to accommodate those displaced, while the City of Sparks opened an evacuation center in a high school.
San Francisco area gets set for third storm system — and flight delays, traffic mess
Minor flooding was also reported on the Napa River near St. Helena Calif., along the Navarro River near the town of Navarro, and on the Mad River near Arcata. Moderate flooding was still predicted for elsewhere on the Navarro river and parts of the Eel, Russian and Napa rivers.
The Napa River overwhelmed downtown Napa in 2005, flooding or destroying about 1,000 homes and forcing thousands of residents to leave the area.
There, residents worked to fill 700 bags with 10 tons of sand, city official Danny Lerma said.
Cathleen Allison / AP
Eric Engles, with Carson City Public Works, clears a storm drain in Carson City, Nev, as a heavy, wet storm hits Northern Nevada on Sunday.
"When you see it happen, you always remember, and you say, 'I'm going to be better prepared,'" Lerma told KGO-TV. "And that's what they're doing right now."

The latest storm, which came ashore Saturday night, knocked out power for about 5,000 customers in the Sacramento. It was restored for all but 2,000 customers by 1 p.m. PT. according to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. Another 6,000 lost power in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, and 8,000 in San Francisco, according to The Weather Channel.
The Napa River was expected to flood near St. Helena and Napa around noon on Sunday, while the Russian River was expected to flood near Guerneville early Monday morning.
The Napa River overwhelmed downtown Napa in 2005, flooding or destroying about 1,000 homes and forcing thousands of residents to leave the area.
The Weather Channel's Chris Warren reports from California where residents are expecting a string of heavy storms.
Holiday cancellations
The weather prompted cancellations of holiday parades and tree lightings in Sparks and Truckee.
Officials also warned people to be careful along beaches.
A high surf advisory was issued by the Weather Service, with swells expected to be 14 to 16 feet along the Northern California coast.
In Southern California, high surf was predicted in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.
The stormy weather may be behind a crash involving multiple cars on Interstate 280 outside of San Francisco on Saturday morning, as well as the death of a Pacific Gas & Electric worker in West Sacramento who died after his truck crashed into a traffic signal pole during the stormy weather Friday.

"It's good to be back playing at Rodney Parade with my first competitive start this season," said the number nine.
"I look forward to playing alongside Dan Evans and in front of the Dragons faithful."
The Dragons were beaten by Bath in their first clash in the LV = Cup last week and will be hoping to bounce back against the Saints.
Hugh Gustafson, Owen Evans, Adam Jones, Nic Cudd and young gun Ieuan Jones all retain their places in the forwards.
Captain Ashley Smith reverts back to his usual position at number 12 after coming on as a replacement outside-half against Bath.
Tom Prydie also steps in at full back, replacing Hallam Amos who is injured.
Phil Dowson makes his 100th appearance for the Saints and director of rugby Jim Mallinder is expecting a tough test from the Dragons.
"We've never taken the LV= Cup lightly and Sunday is going to be no different," he said.
"It's never easy to play in Wales but we're going to be up for it and I'm looking for an 80 minute performance to get us back to winning ways.
"We know what we've got to do. We need to play sensibly and in the right areas and not gift the opposition points."

I combined them into one
You evil geniuses.
All I did was open the first image, then File>Add Image for the 2nd one, then repeated the same thing for the last one. It comes in handy for resizing them and all sorts of crap. The only software I ever paid for - but alas Im sure there are newer, better software versions to work with.
