Well I upgraded my comp got evrything put together turn the comp on and WTF? no VGA signal to monitor. Hmmm what's wrong with this picture then I hear this little POP and smell something burning SHIT!!! so I shut it down fast but too late. A IC chip on the motherboard blew a hole through the top of itself (never saw that before) this caused a cascade effect which killed my hard drive and a CD drive. Now I need to find out if it took out my CPU and RAM next. Of course I didn't back-up my data LOL. Anyway after I get her back up think I'll make a file server out of the old comp parts. Peace.
i wouldnt even trust the old parts for future use.. welp, nows a good excuse to UPGRADE!!!!!! YAY! but that sucks man..
I meant the old motherboard, CPU (PIII 933) and RAM (384 meg SDRAM) that I replaced that's still good and will make a good file server.
Didn't back up your data? Sweet merciful Jah, Heavy-D you're too smart for that shit... Where did you buy the motherboard? I'd make them pony up for the parts that were ruined.
You would think I was smarter than that LOL No can do they are not liable for damage to other components. Instead of a file server think I'll get and external HDD to back stuff up on. Yah, yah laugh it up. LOL Made some progress today found out it also toasted a sound card, CPU is OK but one stick of RAM is bad so it's RMA time. Can anyone recommend a good UPS?
Seriously D, you should check out my backup stategy: 320GB data drive 320GB NAS backup 1&1 internet backup ...and I back up the digital photos yet again to DVD and put them in a fire safe. Fire, asteroid strike, redneck rampage - I'm ready for anything.

No UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) not PSU. PSU's I have are: Enhance ENP-5150GH 500W Ultra X-Pro EE 600W
I like my APC's, I run two of them, one for the computers and one for all the shit plugged into them.
An APC system is something i've yet to incorporate. The T-storm last week had me worried. i no sooner unplugged all systems when the lightning started hitting the earth.....close call.
I suggest you get at least one UPS man. Lately we've had the power go out for a couple of minutes for no apparent reason. Now lets get back to the continuing saga of "Heavy-D is an Idiot" :retard: Today I did the install one stick of RAM manually set it lower install second stick and manually raise the RAM speed and it worked. We now have 2 gigs of DDR2 800 RAM. :-D
NAS stands for "network attached storage". It's simply a hard drive enclosure / server that sits on my network. And 1&1 is a web host. For 5 bucks a month I get 120GB of online storage. You really can't beat it.
I use stone tablets, myself. Engraving all those "1"s and "0"s into granite is a pain, though... Tape backup with my old Sony Superstation was too much of a pain, so I just back up important data to CD-ROM, and reinstall from scratch for everything else.
Man I know what you mean, used to use thick sheets of wood to back-up my data. Lost that too when the termites ate it all.
I just don't trust hard drives, and optical shit is bound to get scratched, at least in my case (plus it supposedly doesn't have too great a shelf life)
Dude, don't talk shit on the ECS mobo's. My first pc build was a budget build (I was a Freshman in high school) using an old ECS motherboard. That thing was rock solid. Never had any problems with it. In fact, my cousin has it and uses it as a test platform for hardware in question. I don't know how good they are now, but that was one hell of a board. ~Will Courtier~
Handled carefully and recreated every 5 years or so and optical media is reliable. And used in addition to magnetic based media you are as safe as you can possibly be.
yeah, until my dumbass scratches it =x most people are fine using it though probably (optical media) for important stuff (mostly financial shit in my case) I'm using a dds4 drive at the moment (20/40gb). We had stuff at work that was 10 years old (the tapes) and it still pulled up fine

5. | Chicken Wing | ||
The Chicken Wing originated in Akron, Ohio. This is a sexual act performed while in the doggy style position. The sneaky gentleman slips his left arm underneath the left armpit of his lover and stops at his elbow. Next, he brings his forearm back over top of his lover's shoulder and places the his open palm on the back of his lover's neck. Finally, passion ensues when the young gentleman pulls back and locks his arm, throwing his future ex-Wife's left arm into an inescapable lock causing a flailing motion representing a chicken wing. I thought she'd totally love a good chicken wing. She told me to get the fuck out.
1. | chicken wing | ||
1.(v) An offensive/defensive move performed by bending ones arm and using the forearm to connect across the face or neck of an individual for the purpose of incapacitation. This move is normally used when to close to throw a punch. I just saw a cop knock a drunk guy on his ass with a crossface chicken wing!

Winter months have come and gone, the weather has begun to warm our faces, and my husband was ready to go fly fishing. Of course, not close by, but in frickin Montana (1930 miles one way)! The SUV packed to the hilt with fly fishing gear on one side and photographic equipment on the other and clothes stuffed everywhere and anywhere.
Weather reports out of Montana, Wyoming and Colorado were not so good, downright freezing. And, as we were soon to find out, it doesn't get warm until June up North. Our target was Blue Damsel Lodge near Missoula, MT fly fishing the three rivers.
Leaving Amarillo, TX, we encountered gale force winds, and that wind followed us through Wyoming to Montana, with temperatures hovering at 40 degrees or so.
Here Fell Custer
We stopped at the Little Bighorn Battlefield Monument which was one of the last armed efforts of the Northern Plains Indians to preserve their ancestral way of life. Even though they won the battle, they lost the war. The war to live in peace and harmony in their beloved Blackhills. Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, commander of the 7th Cavalry, and a Civil War hero, was part of a major effort by the US Government to rein in the Indians under the leadership of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and other war chiefs from the Lakota-Cheyenne tribes. On that fateful day, June 25, 1876, a major battle was fought here between 7,000 tribes of Indians and the 7th Cavalry, numbering 600 men. This is what I would call a lose-lose situation . . . Custer and 260 soldiers died that day, and it was the beginning of the end to the nomadic way of life of the Northern Plains Indians.
The white markers show where the soldiers fell on Last Stand Hill.
The remains of some officers were transferred to Eastern cemeteries. Custer's remains are re-interred at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY. (Go NAVY, BEAT Army). The rest of the command are buried in a mass grave around the base of the memorial, which bears their names.
The white marker in the center with a black emblem is where Custer fell.
Jim and I drove the Battlefield Road following the route that Custer took his men. Questions were flowing through my mind . . . why did Custer manage to put 210 men on an indefensible hill in harm's way? Especially since he was considered to be one of the reasons that the South was defeated at Gettysburg in that famous "War of Northern Aggression." (1861-1865).
And, no one knows, why Custer chose to split up his men already outnumbered. I was saddened to learn that they had shot their horses to provide them with cover as the charging indians advanced up the hill.
Gallatin River Lodge
We stopped for a few days at the Gallatin River Lodge, near Bozeman, Montana for relaxing, and you guess it, "FISHING." I must say, if you wanted to be pampered for a few days, this is the place. It's hyped as a romantic getaway, but, in the winter, its a stopover to winter activities in the nearby mountains of the Big Sky Country. But, we came for its world class fly fishing.
The early morning hours were the best since the wind seemed to be nonexistent. We hiked down to the river. I was constantly on the lookout for wildlife, birds, mountain lions, etc., but none were to be found. And, I heard from a great fly fisherman that the fish weren't biting either. Since my husband decided to ventured out into the river with his back to me, I aimed my camera at the other fisherman fishing upstream.
Target Achieved
Along a narrow, rocky road, sort of paved / unpaved, through a deep canyon, we finally make it to the Blue Damsel Lodge. The mercury was falling fast. Unfortunately, being the first to arrive for opening season, came with it a score of issues most serious being NO HEAT in the Lodge for the first night. Fully clothed with tons of blankets, I definitely felt like "mom in her kerchup and me in my hat had just settled down for a long winter's nap." Jim loved it but I was freezing my a__ off.
Jim spent three days fly fishing on Montana's famous rivers . . . Blackfoot, Bitteroot and the Clark. And, I hired a professional photographer to guide me around all his secret spots. I contacted Andrew Kandel. I am no critic but his photography is probably one of the best I have ever seen next to our famous Texas photographer, Larry Ditto. He has an eye for the creative side showing the viewer "where the wild things are." If you are in Missoula, MT, and in need of a great photographic guide, please contact Andrew. Tell him "hi from a fellow Texan." You see, Andrew originates from Dallas, Texas.
Andrew and I spent the day photographing on the National Bison Range, with a backdrop of the Mission Mountains. I found it amazing at the proximity of wildlife.
The bison, or as a native Oklahoman, I call them, buffalo, were sparse.
However, a herd of pronghorns were happy to oblige our photographic needs. On the Bison range, you are not allowed off the road. We had no complaints to follow the rules . . . the pronghorns just remained eating along side us. Their protected on the range.
In Texas, you just can not get that close to pronghorns.
I was lucky because Andrew knew where the Short-eared Owls roamed on the Nine Pipe Wildlife Refuge. Just before sunset, these owls were hunting. They have an unusual wing pattern. The wings come straight up over the head and then straight down again similar to a bat. Oh but you have to be quiet when approaching these wise masters of the hunt.
I did see a herd of elk. We setup along the roadside anticipating that they would come up the hill and cross the road in front of us, which they did on their way to higher ground. But this herd had had a rough winter. Not really worth posting any photos.
The Famous Shot
Andrew took me to another scenic spot to shoot wide angle, HDR, and/or panorama. We traversed through the grasslands looking for the "perfect" photographic moment. Did we find one? "You betcha."
I loved Andrew's shot of an abandoned farmhouse on the open prairie lands. I hoped to get a similar shot, maybe, not as good but still acceptable! I played with HDR photography to produce this shot.
And, we did shoot the most coveted shot in the Missoula area, maybe in all of Montana. I was able to get a nice pano of it.
A lady stopped to chat for awhile. In the course of our conversation, she gave us a little history on the old barn with the Mission Mountains as a backdrop. It has graced the covers of many magazines.
Jim caught tons of fish, which I was surprised given the freezing temperatures of the rivers, and yours truly, got some nice photos thanks to Andrew.
Montana is known as "Big Sky" country, but its more than just sky, its a state of mind, a sense of ruggedness, a wildness untamed. I love the big, open spaces of both Wyoming and Montana. I hope to return some day, albeit, when the weather is much warmer.
Next stop . . . Arches National Park!

We are two teenage girls, Lux Black and Andie Flowers. We live in a beautiful, disastrous small town. We are best friends with an appetite for destruction, intoxication, and beauty and, naturally, we have lots of thoughts. Here is a collection of our communications, thoughts, and other things we enjoy.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Dear Andie,
A lot of thoughts have been rushing around inside my head and it feels like if I don't let them go, let them go free and say what they need to say, then they will claw their way out of me. In fact, I feel them in this every moment jumping around inside the tops of my fingers as if almost bursting through the skin.
Do you ever feel like you live in two alternate universes? A universe where you are sober, and a universe where you are not. Like right above you at this very moment is a clone of yourself, the drunk you, the high you. And the reason we seek them so desperately is because they are fascinating and mystical. We would like to imagine ourselves in black and white, tipping our heads back and laughing the sound of rainbows. We imagine ourselves in satin and fur with a champagne glass in our hands and an old-fashioned channel cigarette container. Because in reality, who knows who we are when we're fucked up? We do not; and that is all the truly matters. We do not know who we are so who does that make us?
We constantly seek intoxication because we constantly seek our alternate universes. We will never fully cross over- for then we would not know- but we keep pushing the lines, seeing how far we can get before we're lost. We crave a world that we know in reality is intangible, impossible, yet maybe that is why we like it so much.
The other world knows who we are too. They are curious of us in the same way that we are curious of them. Yet they fear us. They do not understand how we can prosper in a world full of such evil.
Have you ever had a split second of extreme awareness before you black out drunk for the night? It almost appears to go in slow motion and contains the occasional coloring effect, as if you are watching it from behind a 50's style television. The world spins, some slow motion singing and dancing and laughing. Then bam….You crossed the line. You have had you're fair share of that world, and that is the closest you will ever get.
The madness is what constitutes addiction. We crave the way we feel when we're high because we imagine that is what it would feel like to be in our own fantasy world. We crave a world where anything is possible, and just imagine what gives us that world?
Yet we know we will never truly remember a feeling of extreme intoxication. Think back to the last time you did a drug. Ecstasy? Mushrooms? Even Alcohol? Can you really and truly remember what it felt like at that exact moment? You know you will never place it again. You remember remembering the feeling, you remember feeling whatever it was, powerful, glamorous, mysterious, that you wanted to be in your alternate universe yet you will never place your finger on the exact same feeling as in that moment ever again.
Stay Golden Ponyboy,

background resizing help
when i resize the browser window smaller on the site I am working on and then scroll horizontally, the background image doesn't resize correclty. Can someone take a look at my site and offer any suggestions? http://defose.com
Thanks!looking at your code quickly,
your wrapper is 926px say and inside that your li is 1260px say?
I think you need to look at your sizes first and get everything right, before fixing the resize problemI appreciate your suggestion, but I don't think that is actually true. The only div with width 926px is the main content area in the center of the screen and the <ul> that is inside of that div is not 1260px. Unless I am missing something, i don't believe there is a wrapper div that is 926px.
Anyone else have any other suggestions?the UL in your nav div is massvie you know - and its pushing the site (at 1280) waaayy out to the right. Any reason for that?
The reason your are seeing the missing picture when you resize the window and then scoll is because you have set the width of the container div to 100% of the browser window - so when you make your browser window smaller, your container div stays at 100% of the browser window, and all your content is left in the same place.
Basically - its doing exactly what you told it to do lol

Penn State's 2012 football season was one for the ages
STATE COLLEGE (AP) — The white banner fluttered in a stiff breeze before being removed from the east facade of Beaver Stadium to reveal "2012" in bold, blue numerals next to the years marking unbeaten or championship campaigns.
The 2012 season will be remembered in Happy Valley for a long time to come for reasons beyond wins and losses.
"It's exciting to go down as one of the great teams in Penn State history," senior quarterback Matt McGloin said after the rousing 24-21 win Saturday over Wisconsin. "To have that season stapled on the stadium forever is a great feeling."
Coach Bill O'Brien said after Saturday's win that acting athletic director Dave Joyner had called him earlier in the week about adding 2012 to the facade.
"When they put your 2012 team up there with those teams ... that means a lot," O'Brien said. "I'm not sure there are many bowl games out there that are going to be played like that one. There's a lot there and just a fantastic senior class."
The seniors went out in style.
The tense, overtime thriller came down to a stellar defensive effort spearheaded by tackle Jordan Hill, a 37-yard field goal in the extra session by redeemed kicker Sam Ficken, and the 44-yard miss by Wisconsin's Kyle French that finally brought the season to an end on a chilly, late November night.
And so a campaign that began with the dark cloud of NCAA sanctions hanging over the program because of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal ended with smiles and relief. The Nittany Lions (8-4, 6-2 Big Ten) would have been a lock for a New Year's Day game had the penalties not included a four-year bowl ban.
Not that it mattered to star linebacker Michael Mauti.
"That's better than any bowl trip I've ever been a part of," said the senior, who wore his familiar No. 42 jersey over jeans after being sidelined with a left knee injury. Continued...
Fiery on the field, Mauti is known as much for a humble persona off it. He doesn't like the spotlight and deflected media attention off his injury and on to the rest of the team in the week leading up to the game.
All the while, his teammates wore "42" on the side of their white helmets in honor of Mauti, a suggestion made to O'Brien by Hill and fellow team captain Michael Zordich. Penn State's other outstanding outside linebacker, Gerald Hodges, switched from his No. 6 jersey to 42 in another grand gesture for Mauti in his last game in blue and white.
There's plenty of time left to wonder about Mauti's future. After the game, Mauti continued to brush aside questions about the severity of his injury, choosing to reflect on the remarkable end to an unparalleled season.
Back in July, two days after the NCAA levied the penalties, about two dozen teammates surrounded Mauti and Zordich as they made impassioned public statements that they were sticking with Penn State.
Other seniors like McGloin, Hill, Hodges, cornerback Stephon Morris and center Matt Stankiewitch also helped keep the team together through tough times, like the 0-2 start and the 35-23 loss last month to No. 4 Ohio State.
While Mauti was expected to be a star this year, McGloin's emergence as the best passer was a surprise — and a testament to the coaching job by O'Brien in his first season. The former Patriots offensive coordinator and position coach to star quarterback Tom Brady had McGloin running the Nittany Lions' new up-tempo offense to near-perfection by year's end.
McGloin averaged a league-best 272.6 yards passing and completed more than 60 percent of his 446 pass attempts with just five interceptions. He displayed his trademark confidence — which some people equate to a cocky swagger — but was held in check if he went too far by O'Brien and quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher.
A former walk-on, McGloin finished with 24 touchdown passes to tie Daryll Clark (2009) for the school's single-season record. Under O'Brien's tutelage, McGloin also set school records this year for single-season passing yardage (3,266) and career touchdown passes (46).
Mauti was asked how the senior class would be remembered.
"I don't know if I can even really put that in words right now," he said. "Maybe in a couple of years from now I'll be able to look back and answer. I am just proud to be a part of it. It's been the most fun I've ever had playing with the people I've never been closer to." Continued...

scallop contrast sleeveless blouse
by ACNE
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne's first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe.

Did you mean?
We are planning to catch the 7am Parks Connection bus to Anchorage but it does not stop at our campground.We are at a lost to find transportation this early in the morning. Any ideas?
Best for seeing wildlife and have peace and quiet
I am coming to Homer July 4-July 11 and need to pack in a carry on bag. I am from Boston, MA so I have no idea what to pack, Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Coming in July on carnival cruise with dh and our 3 dk's (9 mnths, 2.5, and 5 yrs). We are bringing our double stroller (narrow- not wide) and a chest carrier. How easily can we navigate the sidewalks and stores with the stroller? I'd rather carry the baby and let the others walk but their little legs get tired so quickly that might not be an option. Is there anything the kids might really enjoy in town? And lastly, is there a nice green area where the kids can blow of steam or we could enjoy a scenic walk w /or w /out the stroller? Thanks so much!

"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

32 kg one arm swings.
Great workout today.No Saturday AM client anymore so I was able to put my full energy and thoughts into the workout from the moment I got up. I used to be be able to do that with all my workouts but dems the breaks! This was great.Stretched out, got fully caffeinated and went to work.
Clean and press into Windmill( left only)
16 kg x5x2
32kg x3 x2!!
Awesome! Havent pressed this in ages and it was easy.One press and three windmills.no problem
One Arm swings
16 kg x10/10x2
24 kg x5/5/5/5
24 kg x10/10
32kgx8/8 x 13 sets
208 reps
14,976 lbs!!
This was great,although my balance was off on a few reps, as I was swinging the bell higher than I have in a long time. This thing comes down FAST,LOL!
snatch holds( right only)
16kgx30 sec
24kgx35 sec
x60 sec
x50 sec
x40 sec
I realize now that I need to do clean/press/windmill left and snatch holds right AFTER I do my swings.Left shoulder was not needing any snatch holds after the 'warmup'.Normally one does heavy grinds first and then ballistics. As usual I'm backwards.
ALSO did easy negative presses at the end of each snatch holds with no shoulder pain! My shoulder is definitely healing.
The swings went easy, it's good to feel strong!
datsit, time to stretch.

text: NWSB Insider and Vancouver Canucks blogger C-Mac was ready to jump off the ledge today when he first heard the Zack Kassian for Cody Hodgson trade details. Then after researching the deal a little more he realized Kassian fills a need that no other player at any level of the organization can fill. He is going to be raw granted, but he can go to the net, finish off the rush, and when needed exact retribution on opponents.

Excellent value for the money. When I saw all the screws I got out my tool kit but I didn't need it. Everything came with the chair. I put it together in less than 45 minutes. It's very sturdy and very comfortable. Works great.

Bought this chair for my son to use at his computer desk because of the comfort and size. Since he is a writer I wanted him to have a chair that would be comfortable for him while he is writing and typing his manuscripts.

Great chair!

I run two businesses from home and spend very long hours at my computer. This chair is not only very attractive in my home office (matches dark cherry desk perfectly) but it is VERY COMFORTABLE. I belong to a buyers coop and the very same chair was actually more money in the coop, plus I would have had to pay tax, shipping, and a handling fee. [...] Great chair, great quality, great price.

Is Mark Richt back on the hot seat? Is Mark Fox on the verge of leading the Georgia Bulldogs to the CBI? These questions are up for discussion on this Slow News Day Tuesday.
Mark Richt's twelfth season as the Georgia head coach saw the Bulldogs fall just five yards short of an SEC title and a probable national championship. How does the Red and Black skipper compare to Wally Butts and Vince Dooley at the same point?
The Georgia Bulldogs opened SEC play with an embarrassing 77-44 loss suffered at the hands of the hated Florida Gators in Gainesville. As bad as it was, it easily could have been worse.
Nothing lasts forever. Alabama's dynasty will fall. What might cause it?

Anyone who thinks American Catholics and their institutions are united in opposition to the ObamaCare rule regarding contraception has got another think coming.
Lisa Miller EXPLAINS:
Last week, in an orchestrated political maneuver, 43 Catholic entities — including the Archdiocese of Washington — filed a dozen lawsuits against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, saying that any mandate requiring religious organizations to provide contraceptive coverage to employees was a violation of religious liberty.
So, even though 82 percent of American Catholics believe that birth control is morally acceptable, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who is president of the U.S. ...

Kermit Morris Marsh was born in Macon County, Tennessee, on November 16, 1921 to the late Genie Bratton Marsh and Allie Payton Cosby Marsh.
Kermit was fifteen years old when he was saved in his father's barn on October 12, 1936. He became a member of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in 1940 and at the time of his death was the oldest member of Antioch Church.
Kermit married the former Jewell Gertrude Martin on October 12, 1940 and they spent 63 happy years together.
Kermit and Gertie began their married life in Macon County and then moved to Franklin, Kentucky where they remained until Gertie's death in 2003.
He was a farmer and a Simpson County, Kentucky road employee for many years.
Kermit and Gertie never had any children of their own but they blessed the lives of children around them with their love. He loved to entertain children of all ages with his jokes and stories and many of us enjoyed riding on his little cart behind his pony that he bought just for the kids in their lives.
Kermit was also a talented musician who taught himself to play the piano and organ.
He was a caring person who loved to cook and share his famous fried pies, country ham and sausage biscuits. He was also known to cook a mean mess of turnip greens.
His wonderful friends at Shenandoah Apartments and at the Senior Citizens Center were some of his favorite friends to share his cooking.
In addition to his wife and parents; Kermit was preceded in death by his sisters, Ogle Dallas and Ruby Gordon Stinson.
On November 27, 2012, Kermit left this world for a much better place. He is now walking with Gertie in Heaven. He leaves many memories here for all those who love and will be greatly missed.

Interment followed in the Green Lawn Cemetery in Franklin, Kentucky.

City of Anaheim City Manager's Office City Hall Anaheim, CA 92805 (714) 765-5162
For the past seven years "Make Kindness Contagious" has been celebrated in Anaheim, to draw awareness as to how an act of kindness can transform both the giver and the receiver. To attract even greater attention to acts of selflessness, Mayor Tait and the Anaheim City Council proclaimed February 2012 as "Make Kindness Contagious Month." Mayor Tait is calling upon residents, businesses and guests to draw on this theme daily, and to set the tone for building a culture of kindness in Anaheim throughout the year.
The "Make Kindness Contagious" theme was first introduced in 2004, when then-Councilmember Tait was inspired by Natasha Sarah Jaievsky, a young Anaheim resident who sought to be kind to family, friends, and strangers. The Make Kindness Contagious logo is, in fact, her drawing. In 2002, a tragic accident claimed Natasha's life at age 6, but the memory of her actions and kind spirit remain an inspiration. Citizens are encouraged to share their kindness stories on this website. Click on Your Story on the left to submit an act of kindness story. Citizen stories will be posted on a routine basis so we all can be inspired.Business leaders and City school districts are invited to share this message to their respective audiences, to apply acts of kindness in the way most fitting to that organization.

Back To ACC
Seminoles Focused on Being Focused
By Matthew Osborne
Follow us at Twitter.com/SouthernPigskin. Become a fan at the SouthernPigskin.com Facebook Page
Ranked as a top 10 team heading into last season, it appears that the pundits were slightly premature in prognosticating the Seminoles' return to glory.
Things are finally starting to feel like normal in Tallahassee, Florida.
After a rough conclusion to the end of the Bobby Bowden era and a transitional period during new head coach Jimbo Fisher's first couple of years at Florida State, the Seminoles now find themselves in the familiar position of entering a season with lofty expectations.
Ranked as a top 10 team heading into last season, it appears that the pundits were slightly premature in prognosticating the Seminoles' return to glory.
In order for the Seminoles to regain their place amongst the college football elite, however, the team will have to place a greater emphasis on perfecting the details of the game, particularly when preparing for upcoming opponents.
The Seminoles lost four games last season, but were often just a play or two away from attaining victory in those contests. The hope is that better performance in the week leading up to the game will lead to better performance on the day of the game.
"Cleaning up the things in practice," quarterback E.J. Manuel responded when asked what would be the difference between this season and last season. "It's something that we didn't get it done in practice, and we need to get it done, because that is where we had the lapses in the game. There would be one or two plays where it was something that we didn't do well in practice, and we didn't do it well in the game."
Manuel is not the only Seminole to recognize the need for increased focus, either. Inspired by the perceived lack of focus shown by his players last season, Fisher has implemented a new policy which bans the players from using Twitter.
While many college-aged males would be extremely disappointed with a decision that prevented from enjoying the magical world of Twitter, DE Brandon Jenkins fully supports his coach's decision to ban the social media website.
"We're more focused," said Jenkins. "We're blocking out all of the other people that are outside of the locker room so we can go out and play football and have the communication with each other where we can trust ourselves."
Returning arguably the top defense in all of college football, the Seminoles know that lack of talent will never be an excuse this fall. They also know that there will be a large target on their back this season, as they are the prohibitive favorite in the ACC race.
As far as Manuel is concerned, it will neither benefit nor hinder the Seminoles to know that every team will be gunning for them this fall.
"Whether you like it or not, it is what it is," Manuel said. "Playing for Florida State, wearing garnet and gold, people are always going to have their arrows pointed at your chest."
There is no doubt that the Seminoles are as talented as any team in the country. The thing that separate teams with elite talent, though, is the attention paid to detail.
In order for Florida State to finally get back into a national championship hunt, the Seminoles will have to keep their focus and attention to detail in every game this season.
If the Seminoles remain focused and determined, this very well may be the team that loudly announces the resurgence of Florida State football.

Model Community This inventive toy maker has an on-line community like you dream about. So how come they almost killed it? A short time ago, in a galaxy about 90 miles from Chicago, there was a hot little toy company that had a mysterious competitive weapon: an on-line customer community that really smoked. Only the rulers of the company didn't quite get what a powerful weapon they had. It took a gutsy employee (with a knack for being really aggravating) to show how the right interactive Internet presence could help the business generate ideas, solve problems, and tap into customer passion for its products. The company: Playing Mantis Inc. of South Bend, Ind., manufacturer of die-cast cars, plastic-model kits, and action figures. The employee: Lisa Greco. In the physical world she is the company's customer-service manager, opinionated and outspoken despite a Fargo-like midwestern cheer. On-line, however, she is something more mighty to behold. As moderator of the bulletin board dedicated to the company's model kits, this single mom is a nurturing guide for the adult men who come to her bulletin board to talk about toys. She is Mistress of Monster Models. The Queen of Styrene. Simply put, Greco represents a customer's pipeline into the heart of the company. That's an incredible boon to hobbyists accustomed to traditional toy makers, which guard product information as if they were Napoleon Solo protecting nuclear firing codes. Playing Mantis, on the other hand, is available 24/7 on the boards. Anyone can ask questions or find out about new products. Moreover, toy-heads can safely indulge their love of the trappings of childhood without fear of being scorned as terminal nerds. What Playing Mantis gets is even more valuable. Through the boards it can reach the burning core of its customer base with company news, promotions, and quick-and-dirty survey questions. It can vet product ideas with real consumers before committing a dime to development. Last year alone, board members promoted new products, provided remedies for Web-site problems, and helped bring Playing Mantis to a new understanding of who was actually buying its stuff. And to think the company almost threw the whole thing away. Before we tell that story, let's consider a simple proposition: In this world, men don't grow up. That is no expert opinion, nor is it the result of painstaking research. It's just common sense. Ask anyone who ever married one. Once we can agree on that, the whole story falls into place: why Tom Lowe, son of one of the world's best-known entrepreneurs, started a company dedicated to reissuing lines of toys from the 1960s; how the company became successful despite the toy industry's reputation for a competitive viciousness usually reserved for totalitarian nations; and how both Lowe and Playing Mantis discovered the secret formula (wouldn't be much of a tale if it didn't have a secret formula) for building a vibrant, successful on-line customer community — the Holy Grail of all E-commerce companies. Here's the thing: most American men never, ever lose their passion for the playthings of their past. That's why store shelves are packed with classic hits of the '60s — Hot Wheels cars, Etch A Sketch, and the Duncan Butterfly Yo-Yo, to name a few. Toy makers know that parents make the big buying decisions and that fathers especially never lose affection for the toys they loved as kids. Which brings us to Lowe and his company. Walk into Playing Mantis and you'll see drab offices, just like those of any typical light-manufacturing company, but with one exception. There are toys everywhere. Glass cases in the lobby display build-ups of the company's Polar Lights line of model kits (mostly foot-tall figures of monsters, spies, and space robots). The walls are festooned with test shots and lineups of the company's Johnny Lightning die-cast toy race cars. Employees' shelves are packed with Pezzes and other playthings. Lowe's own modest office is especially crammed with goodies. His shelves are filled with Playing Mantis products, and the walls are covered with framed photos of NASCAR champions and muscle cars. But Lowe's real treasures are stowed behind a Cyclone security fence in the shipping bay. That's where the boss keeps his personal stash of collectibles. He has enough Johnny Lightnings and Captain Actions there to make a grown man — should there be such a thing — swoon. But for all the play factor, the corporate headquarters is still basically a cube farm in the unglamorous burg of South Bend. Playing Mantis, founded in 1994 and still tiny by toy-industry standards, has only 40 employees and revenues of $15 million to $20 million. Most of the employees are locals. Half have been hired in the past two years. It doesn't take too many strides for Lowe to reach any corner of his empire. Lanky, sleepy-eyed, renowned for his prankster sense of humor, he ambles around the building like a big kid. Stopping in his product-development department — a couple of banquet tables pushed together — he checks out some handcrafted prototypes from a new line of toy cars tentatively called "The Dreamboats" — family sedans from the 1950s, real Bulgemobiles. Lowe picks up a bloated Chrysler and offers his highest praise: "Rock on!" (Well, it's a toy company, not the English-lit department at Columbia.) Lowe, 40, is firmly grounded in the tail-end baby-boomer demographic his company serves. He grew up in Cassopolis, Mich., which everybody calls Cass, amid the richest cultural influences of the '60s: Mad magazine, monster movies, and good old-fashioned network television — oh, yes, and social protest and the Vietnam War. His father was the well-known entrepreneur Edward Lowe, inventor of kitty litter (somebody had to) and, by a number of accounts, a my-way-or-the-highway kind of guy. Lowe grew up mostly in the care of his mother, who, wonderfully, did not throw away his old toys. Never straying from his midwestern roots, Lowe graduated from Miami University of Ohio, earned his master's in marketing at DePaul University in Chicago, and married his high school sweetheart. He sold for a food broker and did marketing work for Domino's Pizza, but the corporate life was not much fun. "I was tired of being told what to do," he says. In 1987, in Dundee, Ill., Lowe started his first company: Safe Care Products. Financing the effort with his own savings, Lowe was the company at the beginning. From his basement he developed products he knew he could sell to mass merchandisers. He had one hit toy — a Velcro football called the WhattaCatch — but most of his 30-some products were anonymous, you-never-thought-you-needed-it-until-you-saw-it-on-a-store-shelf items, such as a bathtub cushion and a Nintendo video-game lock called HomeworkFirst. The best stuff was yet to come. By the early 1990s, Lowe's generation was rediscovering the toys they thought they had outgrown. In those pre-eBay days, the bible of this loose society of arrested adolescents was a magazine called Toy Shop, filled with classifieds featuring goodies from the preceding 40 years or so. Reading it, Lowe noticed that a lot of the stuff he had played with when he was a kid was selling for big bucks. That demand looked like one hell of an opportunity. Take Hot Wheels, for example. Introduced by Mattel in the mid-'60s ( You can tell it's Mattel. It's swell!), these little die-cast cars were engineered to roll freely and fast. They were a sensation — and still are. Although new Hot Wheels are on store shelves, some versions from the '60s command hundreds of dollars each. Down in his mother's basement lay all the toys Lowe had discarded back when he discovered girls, including about 50 Hot Wheels and 8 cars from the Johnny Lightning line. He initiated a trademark search. Mattel had a death grip on the Hot Wheels name, but the Johnny Lightning name had been abandoned years before. "Polar Lights is very special to me. …You've rekindled the joy I once felt when buying these kits. …You're the only company who I feel a part of." –Lou H. Through an ad in Toy Shop, Lowe says, he bought a collection that included 30 original Johnny Lightning cars. He brought the swag to Wal-Mart, notorious for being tougher than the A-Team when it comes to taking on new products. "Whattaya got here? A flea market?" the buyer roared. "I'll give ya five minutes." Lowe explained that he was going to re-create toys from the '60s. "I was there for an hour and 15 minutes, explaining what my plan was," he says. Wal-Mart bought in. Toys R Us did, too. Lowe was ready to rock. He sent his original Johnny Lightnings to China with a simple directive: copy these. And in 1995, Safe Care was reborn as Playing Mantis, a name he chose to be clever and kid friendly. "I always liked playing with praying mantises when I was young," Lowe says, illustrating the difference between a Cass native and, say, some kid from Brooklyn. Lowe has always had one measure for deciding which products Playing Mantis will pursue: "If it isn't cool, we won't do it," he says. He means it, too. This is his company all the way; he owns it free and clear. There isn't even any long-term debt ("Just a working line of credit," says chief financial officer Randy Miller), so the company has the resources to choose and develop its own products. "Being private is an important advantage. We can do what we want," Lowe says. What he wants to do is to diversify enough to fight off challenges from the Hasbros and Mattels of the world. (Playing Mantis has already survived trademark-infringement litigation with Mattel. The suit was settled out of court.) He now has 2 solid brands; he'd like to build up to 10. And he has two secret weapons. The first: customers such as the guys on the bulletin board, gleeful pseudo-grown-ups who share his child-of-the-'60s sensibility. The second: his company's ability to spin on a dime and give those guys what Lowe knows they want. That's how he decided to revive a line of monster models originated in the '60s by a company called Aurora Plastics Corp. In those years, Aurora models were bigger than Star Trek. Aurora produced model kits of classic monsters (like the Wolf Man and the Mummy) as well as characters from television (like Batman and Superman). And did they ever sell! "Those guys were easily putting out 200,000 or 300,000 units at a run. I'm sure some of the best-sellers, like Frankenstein and Dracula, were up there with sales of 2 million or 3 million apiece," says Thomas Graham, professor of American history at Flagler College, in St. Augustine, Fla., and author of Greenberg's Guide to Aurora Model Kits. "At the time, plastic models of all sorts were sold everywhere — in candy shops, drugstores, bicycle stores — and I even found mention of one mortuary. They were easy to find, they were inexpensive, and pretty much all your friends were building them." By the 1980s, Aurora was gone, a victim of bad business decisions. With it went the entire market for monster models. The models weren't missed until their original fans grew older and started searching for the icons of childhood — a pursuit that Graham claims is healthy. "The people I know who are living long and prospering are those who still enjoy playing," he says. "Playing with toys in particular." Take Lowe, for example. He built Aurora models as a kid and remembered one with special fondness: the haunted house from The Addams Family TV series. "I loved it," he says. So in 1995, under the name Polar Lights (Get it? Aurora? Polar Lights?), Lowe had the kit re-created, offering it as a $60 exclusive at the high-ticket FAO Schwarz toy-store chain. The collector's market went nuts. Original Addams Family house kits were selling in Toy Shop for at least $500. A year later, when the remade kit went into wide release at less than $25, a new market was born. Make no mistake: the days of 300,000-unit runs of a monster model are over. Most Polar Lights kits are produced in runs of 15,000 units. Yet Polar Lights has been successful enough for the line to be expanded to include 60-odd kits. To date, the most successful is a new original done in the Aurora style: a model of the Jupiter 2 spaceship, the interstellar Winnebago featured on the TV series Lost in Space. Playing Mantis launched Polar Lights just as intelligent life was being discovered in cyberspace. In late 1995 and early 1996 — through bulletin boards on Prodigy, America Online, and other services — collectors, craftspeople, and genre fans were discovering whole communities of like-minded souls. Lowe and his managers caught on to the phenomenon — sort of. In 1995 they stuck up a quick site, just some early brochureware. But for serious marketing, Playing Mantis held fast to traditional methods — newsletters and print ads. Part of the reason for going slow on the Web was that Lowe was no fan of online customer interaction. "I would do chats and look at boards on AOL, but I found that I didn't get a lot of new ideas from them," he says. "Besides, there are some vicious people out there. Some of the employees who left would get on the boards and say things that just weren't true. There were competitors who got on there just to screw around with you. I might go on to see what's being said, but in terms of being Tom Lowe on the boards, I don't do it anymore." But Greco had no such reservations. She and Hank Hagquist, an outside contractor who was Playing Mantis's original Web master, were old friends from Riley High in South Bend. Hagquist was running his own site, called Hobbytalk, for fans of radio-controlled car models. He talked to Greco about starting a section devoted to Playing Mantis products. "I thought they could be a good subject," he says. "I thought the people who bought or collected their products were real enthusiasts, people with a passion." In 1998, Hagquist established a board for Polar Lights, moderated by Greco. Dave Metzner, the company's product-development manager for model kits, helped Greco answer board members' questions. But it was she who ruled the board. Judiciously leaking product news, insisting on cordial relations and polite language, Greco — signing missives with an enthusiastic "Moi!" — gathered a loyal cadre of fans to her cyberclubhouse. Yet even after hundreds of members had signed on, she didn't fully understand the potency of the boards until Polar Lights released that model of the Jupiter 2. The kit, enthusiastically received, had a flaw: a hatch inside the ship was upside down. That detail would escape 99.9% of normal buyers. But this was the Internet, where obsessive behavior hangs its hat. Board members were all over the error, and Metzner, with Lowe's approval, decided to correct the flaw for the second run of the kit. The online critics felt as if they had spoken and the company had responded. True enough, says Metzner. "If it hadn't been for people telling us about it, it wouldn't have been fixed," he says. It was the kind of action that converts loyal customers into devoted fans. As the online community jelled, its members got very comfortable with one another. Their exchanges strayed way beyond toys. In the course of a limerick contest initiated by Greco ( There once was a monster named Frankie, in the mood for a little hanky-panky… What say we just don't go there?), one member posted a message revealing that his wife had left him. "Why share it out here like this?" he wrote. "I don't know. Thanks for the support out here, you guys." Greco responded immediately — "We're here for you" — and the board members pitched in. It brought home for Greco just how much this community meant to its members. The board was a sanctuary that connected them to the company and to one another far more deeply than she had realized. "As I reflect back on my hobby experiences for the year, one of the most satisfying has been the relationship formed by a large number of us with Polar Lights. It is not their products that, I feel, sets them apart from other model companies. It is their devotion to the consumer." –PCModeler.com Unfortunately, Lowe was not frequenting this board (or boards that were set up later for Johnny Lightning and Captain Action fans), so he saw little of all that. What he did see was that Greco and Metzner were spending an awful lot of time on the Internet. It didn't seem as though their involvement with the boards was adding much to the business. "That's what they were doing with their time?" Lowe remembers asking. "Talking to people about their problems, which have nothing to do with model kits? So we took a very hard look at that." At the time, in 1998, Playing Mantis was already reexamining its entire customer-service function. By 1999 some customer-service staffers were being asked to do more active selling. That's how it happened that the boards almost died. It started with Hagquist, who was still hosting the virtual community on his site. "At some point I was saying that here we have this multimillion-dollar company building its name for free," he says. "C'mon, guys, feed a little back." So he gave Greco a deadline: By the end of February, start paying him $50 a month for each of the three boards. Greco filed all the appropriate paperwork, never imagining there'd be a problem. But Miller wouldn't approve the expense at first. Look at it from his point of view. For one thing, it is often his job, as with any CFO, to be the one who says no when it comes to using company resources. For another, he and Lowe were already wondering what the true cost of the boards was and whether they were worthwhile. "It wasn't really a financial decision as much as a decision regarding use of time," Miller says. "Intangibles like that make for the toughest decisions." As the deadline approached, Greco grew nervous. If the boards shut down, it would be a disaster — and not just for the company, which would lose a resource that she felt hadn't even begun to pay off. "This community, and I think most communities, are built on trust," she says. "These boards are a refuge for the guys, a place where they can be themselves. Shut it down, even for a day, and you create an uncertainty from which the community might never recover." She went to Metzner for advice. Of all people he best knew what was happening on the boards. Together they decided that even if they had to pay the fee themselves, they'd keep at least the model-kit board running. But first Greco wanted to reach out to Lowe directly. It wasn't politically correct, and it would anger her managers, but it wouldn't be the first time she had gone right to the top. (Greco was once a guard in a prison for men, and she prides herself on being pretty tough.) "I felt I owed the fight to the guys out there," she says. On February 22, Greco posted a new topic on the Polar Lights board. Under the title "Hypothetical Question" she wrote, "Good morning, guys! Everyone have a cup of coffee? Anyone bring the donuts Time for a little sidebar discussion. SUPPOSE, just suppose, this BB would cease to exist. How would you all feel about that?" That week the boards hummed. Members figured that something was going on in South Bend. Member Steve Iversen, who under the nom-de-Web CultTVMan operates a popular site for builders of science-fiction models, E-mailed his list of 700 subscribers, urging them to register their support. In post after post, members expressed their need for the board: "Polar Lights is very special to me. … You've rekindled the joy I once felt when buying these kits. … You're the ONLY company who I feel a part of." –Lou H. "It helps us to be kids again. … It's easier to be a kid again when you see there are a bunch of other people doing it: you feel less guilty/silly!" –David Redknap "As I reflect back on my hobby experiences for the year, one of the most satisfying has been the relationship formed by a large number of us with Polar Lights. It is not their products that, I feel, sets them apart from other model companies. It is their devotion to the consumer." –PCModeler.com

I'd like this to just be short and sweet. I want to tell you all about all the upcoming updates to our youtube series' that I'm trying to implement as fast as possible. I've managed to fix about 99% of all the setbacks and issues I've previously told you about, but there are still a few hiccups in the developmental process that need to be ironed out. Hopefully I'll figure those out soon so nothing will be hampered anymore. However, now on to the good news!
Mini Games w/ Robert
The OMGPOP series is in full swing. I've recently purchased a brand new screen recording program that will fix ALL of the problems I've had with producing this series. So, after episode 4 that will come out next Sunday, all further OMGPOP videos will be perfect. This is probably my favorite series in terms of ease of production.
Let's Play!
This series I've just recently had issues with. The first one I uploaded (which is a stand-alone video) went up well, but did not upload in 1080p. I had another series set and ready to be edited and uploaded, however something was wrong with the file and I had to delete it. As of writing this, I do not have anything recorded or ready to be edited for this Wednesday, so this series is on hold until I can find the time to record. I don't foresee future problems.
Games With My Dad
I finally managed to get this series done and uploaded last week. I'm trying my hardest to have the next episode up for tomorrow. The problems with this production are many. I won't get into full boring detail, but I had issues with the exporting of the video, so sadly, for the remainder of the Mafia II episodes, there will be a 2 second game audio lag. There isn't really any way for me to fix this. Once the Mafia II episodes are complete, this series should be fine. However, despite this, I'm still happy I finally got this online. This is probably my favorite series content-wise.
This series is marred with issues. The first issue is that its near impossible to get people to come over and record some footage. Whether they're working, I'm working or at school, or they're just being lazy, we just can't record footage. I do have footage from one session that is ready to edit, but I just haven't had time to sit there and do so. I'm trying my best, I swear.
Other Non-Titled Series
Sometimes there will just be random videos I upload that have no series name, or anything of that sort. I uploaded pretty much 99% of the Sony PS4 press conference live stream, and although the aspect ratio isn't the best (although the quality is fantastic) and although other game news media were HANDED copies of the footage, I'm still proud of the amount of time and work I put into making this videos. I literally uploaded them all less than 30 minutes after the conference ended. They will remain up for that fact alone (unless I'm forced to remove them). Can't win every battle, I suppose.
So that's pretty much it folks. That's all the updates I got for you. I'm working my hardest to try and have all these videos edited and uploaded on time. It will get better, I assure you. I'm working on buying another microphone for series' that involve more than myself in one room. The production value will be getting better in this respect as well. If you want to know when the videos are released, check out our weekly release schedule. Thanks for reading!

Five on Friday
I feel ridiculous substituting Splenda for sugar in my cappuccino when I'm having a big piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Who am I kidding with that? (Yet, I still do it.)
I wish I had a script writer for my everyday life. I'd love to always say the right thing at the right time in the right way, like Julianna Margulies.
And speaking of that, I'm trying to eliminate very, really, and awesome in my writing. Since I started going back to edit for them, I've realize how very, really often I use them.
Now that Downton Abbey is over, I'll have to get a new hobby. Perhaps fox hunting.

Sorry to see that sweet Dewey is feeling blue. What an adorable shot. I know what you mean about those words that keep sneaking in..over and over again. I have quite a few too...
Fox hunting...in Manhattan..keep me posted on that one. :)
Best wishes for a fab (one of 'those' words) weekend Teri!

Juliana might come by that naturally, I suspect. Her dad thought up the alka-seltzer plop plop fizz fizz jingle. he's one of the advertising creative hall of famers, so with a daughter in advertising i love those kind of factoids. those folk are never at a loss for the perfect word. lol xoxo - Sunday, February 26, 2012

I have a fox in my neighborhood. He likes to hang in the driveway around three in the morning. I have seen him twice. Neighbors have spotted him too, and he loves my trash cans.
Oh for that scriptwriter...I am the queen of saying whatever pops into this mouth and mind of mine. I am refreshingly honest, but sometimes, I scare myself. Maybe we could split the cost? ;-)
Awesome that you have eliminated very and whatever, etc from your writing. When you hang around young people, awesome becomes a staple in your vocab.
Poor Dewey. Love his name. Is he named after the Decimal system or the failed presidential candidate?
Downtown Abbey...I think I must see what all the buzz is about. Sounds great. - Sunday, February 26, 2012

Mmmm, chocolate cake and coffee (hehe at the sweetener though!) Hope Dewey's feeling better, and I am very impressed that you've really cut down on your awesome vocab choices, although it did highlight my own! Really and very also feature, along with 'pretty' used in the same context and fab rather than awesome! Ah well!

Ask A QuestionWhy is this bat a closeout already?
The Easton S1: JBB11S1 Junior Big Barrel is a 2012 model. It is on closeout because the 2013 Easton S1: JBB13S was released.
I just ordered this bat. My son just turned 6 and we got the 25" 13 oz. Is that to light in weight for him? Should I of gotten a 26" 15 oz?
Bat sizing comes down to the player's height and weight. I recommend our Bat Coach to help find out what the best size Easton S1: JBB11S1 would be for your son: http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/
My son is 50 inches and 75 lbs. What size do you recommend?
I'd recommend a 28" Easton S1: JBB11S1 Junior Big Barrel.
Product Description
Easton truly believes that every player should have the opportunity to hit for power. However, the road to power hitting is different for every player. Some players need extra bat speed to reach their full power potential, while others need more weight and a bigger barrel. That's why Easton is changing the game this season and taking an approach to bats that no other manufacturer has ever tried before. Introducing the POWER Brigade; Two series, one distinct result. Whether you prefer the fast swinging Speed Series or the heavier extended barrel XL Series, POWER will be your outcome. Forget flashy designs and gimmicky names, these bats produce RESULTS. The Speed Series (S1, S2, S3) features the lowest Moment of Inertia (M.O.I.) on the market to create light swing weights and generate more power. On the other side of the spectrum, the XL Series (XL1, XL2, XL3) features extra long barrels designed to give players expanded hitting zones and more mass in the barrel, generating more power in every swing. Easton really does strive to fulfill the preferences of any type of player as both series come in two-piece IMX Composite designs (S1 and XL1), two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Aluminum hybrid designs (S2 and XL2), and one-piece THT100 Aluminum designs (S3 and XL3). As for the materials, Easton's patented IMX Composite has proven to be one of the highest performing materials in the game year after year, while THT100 Aluminum provides superior dent and crack resistance. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology and you have a new line of bats that is second to none. Easton: We Believe In Power! This bat features the USSSA 1.15 stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
