SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Coach Ron Faubion's LadyStorm softballers picked up three key regional wins and dropped a pair to make it 3-2 in the St. Mary's tournament over the weekend.
After a sweep on Friday's opening day, the Storm rallied to knock off Texas Woman's University 5-1 in Saturday's first game.
Incarnate Word University, leaving the Lone Star for NCAA Division I, posted an 8-1 win Saturday and host St. Mary's was an 8-3 winner in Sunday's final game.
Coach Faubion said, "We had three really good wins before we started making mistakes and failing to execute when we had the opportunities. We had some excellent defensive plays and we also had some lapses.
"We lost to a pair of really good pitchers. Incarnate Word has already declared for Division 1 and St. Mary's is picked at the top of the Heartland Conference.
"There were some good things and some things we need to correct. The problem is we don't have much time to correct things with our tournament opening Friday at the Durant Multi-Sports Complex. "We left way too many runners on base and we still hurt ourselves with walks and errors. There's no shortcut here, we just have to work this out in games.
"We have six games Friday, Saturday and Sunday in our Southeastern Regional Invitational and these are all key games for us in the ratings. St. Mary's had tremendous crowds for their games and that makes a huge difference.
"We're anxious to play for our home fans and hoping we have a great turnout this weekend."
LadyStorm sophomore Whitney Hamilton was named to the All-Tournament Team. She had one home run, one double, seven runs batted in and drove in the winning run in SE's three victories.
St. Mary's Tournament
LadyStorm 5 - Texas Woman's 1:
Mindy McElroy pitched the first five innings and gave way to Jacee Bennett after walking the first batter in the sixth.
Bennett threw nine pitches and finished the inning with a strikeout, plus a strikeout and throw-out of a would-be base stealer.
McElroy returned after Bennett walked the first two in the seventh and completed the game with Bennett picking up the win.
TWU took a 1-0 lead on a solo homer to lead off the fifth and SE stormed back with five in the bottom half.
The one-out rally started with a walk to Darrian Williams and an RBI-double by Courtney Moore. Hamilton doubled home pinch-runner Courtney Riddle. Lauren Renneker reached on an error at shortstop, Laramie Beal's infield out plated a run and shortstop Lacie Cook scored the fifth run of the inning on a throwing error by the pitcher.
McElroy was one for one with a triple for the Storm. Moore was two for two with a double, a walk and one RBI.
Incarnate Word 8 - LadyStorm 1:
An error on the first batter led to a pair of runs for the Cardinals and Southeastern never got back into the game.
IWU scored two in the second and added four in the seventh with the help of three SE errors.
Southeastern picked up its lone run when Riddle led off the seventh with a walk, Rachel Jones singled, Brittany Wilson legged out an infield single and McElroy delivered the run with a sacrifice fly to center field.
Riddle led the way with two for two and scored the only run for the Storm. Wilson was two for three.
An error and a pair of walks hurt starter Shayna Milam, who took the loss with Jones and Bennett in relief.
St. Mary's 8 - LadyStorm 3:
The Rattlers batted around in each of the first two innings, scoring three in the first and four in the second.
Bennett came on in relief of McElroy and limited St. Mary's to three runs the rest of the way. The early damage was too much to overcome, however, as the Storm fell to 3-2 on the trip.
After the second inning, the Storm topped the Rattlers 3-1, but the game still went into the loss column.
Southeastern picked up a pair in the fourth on a fielder's choice by Cook and a single by Jessica Simmons. The rally was aided by three walks.
SE's final run came in the fifth when Williams led off with a double to left-center and scored on a single by Riddle.
Simmons was two for four to collect half of SE's four hits.

"The FDA lists approximately 2,800 international food additives and about 3,000 chemicals, which are deliberately added to our food supply."
Go take a look at those labels and, when you come back to finish this article, I will tell you why you may be having such a hard time flattening your abs, and why, even if they are flat, you may feel so dull every day!
If you did this little exercise, you may be surprised at the number of multi-syllable words that look more like they should be the ingredients of super glue than of something you're eating. It is time to enlighten you with regard to what some of these ingredients are and what they can do to you.
The gigantic and often strange words listed as "ingredients" (where food items are supposed to be!) are various concoctions used to color, stabilize, emulsify, bleach, texturize, soften, preserve, sweeten, add or cover smells, and flavor!
We Consume Between 10,000 and 15,000 Chemicals a Day
In case you were wondering just how many of these little chemicals were sneaking into your mouth each year, current statistics say that the FDA lists approximately 2800 international food additives and about 3,000 chemicals, which are deliberately added to our food supply. When considering the number of chemicals used in the process of growing and processing food, by the food to the time it reaches our stomach we have consumed between 10,000 and 15,000 chemicals a day! (1)
While some of you may be thinking, "I don't eat that many food additives," I have news for you. The FDA doesn't require food additives considered to be Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) to be put on an ingredients label. Instead, all that is required are the words "artificial flavor" or "artificial coloring" or "natural". The fact is, the average American eats approximately his/her body weight in food additives each year, or approximately 150 pounds; this statistic is roughly the same for most English speaking countries.
"Having the chemical manufacturers provide their own research showing a given chemical is safe is like asking a cigarette manufacturer do their own research showing cigarettes are safe!"
"…don't be fooled by the use of the term "natural". Insects, insect larvae, monkey guts, and even mercury are all 'natural'…"
To make this even more alarming, the ingredients listed here are only for the "strawberry flavoring" in a Burger King milk shake, this doesn't include the ice cream or anything else in the shake! Can you imagine what the ingredient list for Neapolitan ice cream would look? Our liver must process all of this, and when our liver becomes overworked, these chemicals can end up in our blood stream, with almost unlimited access to the cells of our bodies, as well as placing strain on our detoxification systems!
"Can't Just Eat One" Syndrome
Have you ever reached for a bag of chips while thinking, "I really don't need these, but I'll just eat a few," only to end up reaching back in the bag over and over until you reach the bottom? Or how about a tub of ice cream - ever started out nibbling away thinking "I'll just have a few bites," and next thing you know you're scraping the bottom of the carton? Don't feel bad if you do because, unless you were eating 100% certified organic chips or ice cream, you most likely fell prey to the chemical tricks food manufacturers are playing on your body and your wallet!
While the research is still incomplete, it's believed that that adding excess fat, sugar and salt to a food tends to make people overeat (4). This is why both sugar and salt show up in some of the strangest places. For example, would you have expected to find sugar in sandwich meats? Have a look at the ingredients on the package in your refrigerator and look for words ending with "ose". Anything ending with this suffix is a sugar. While you're at it, look at your catsup bottle, your canned soups, medicines and even cigarettes! How sweet of them to play such tricks on your appetite centers. If you are overweight, you are more than likely one of millions of victims of chemical manipulation!
So how effective have the food manufacturers been with their chemical games? Currently, approximately 90% of the money that Americans spend on food is used to buy processed foods (3). When you follow the advances in food science, there is loose parallel in how much fast food Americans are purchasing and the amount of chemical-trickery scientists do to our food.
"Fast Food Sales Soared from $6 Billion in 1970 to $110 Billion in 2000"
As of mid-2000, McDonald's planed on opening 650 restaurants in Asia, 550 in Europe, 350 in Latin America, 200 in the US and another 250 in the rest of the world - a total of 1,500 new restaurants in Asia were planned by 2002! (5). Their strategic combination of marketing and scientific trickery has been so successful that half of Australian children ages 9 and 10 thought that Ronald McDonald knew what kids should be eating; McDonald's has become the favorite food eaten by children in China! (6)
Table 1:America ranks among the lowest of all the major industrial nations in terms of life expectancy, yet spends significantly more money on health care than any country in the world.

Kinect Star Wars Product Details
Released on 03-Apr-2012
Bring the Star Wars Universe to life like never before exclusively on Xbox 360 in Kinect Star Wars. Harnessing the controller-free power of Kinect for Xbox 360, Kinect Star Wars allows fans to physically experience training as a Jedi, using the Force and battling with a lightsaber. Using full body motions, players can live out the ultimate Star Wars fantasy, no controller required.
Kinect Star Wars exclusively on Xbox 360 features:- Enter the Galaxy. True to the Star Wars you know and love, stunning visuals transport you into the Star Wars Universe, complete with iconic characters, vehicles, ships, droids and much more.
- Use the Force. Drawing on iconic moments from the motion pictures, Kinect Star Wars allows to you to enter the Star Wars Universe to experience a wide variety of physical play.
- Customize your training. Experience the breadth of the Star Wars Universe as you wield a lightsaber and train to be a Jedi master, become a champion Pod racer, master the Force, pilot iconic ships and Speeder Bikes, and much more.
- Join forces. Share the Force with friends through co-op, competitive and duel modes. Easy jump in and out lets a second player join in instantly on the Jedi action.
When Kinect was launched with titles such as Kinect Adventures and Kinect Joyride, some thought Microsoft's new motion control technology had abandoned the hardcore gamer, but all along the developers were thinking about you.
There are two types of Kinect games. Some can only use Kinect to work, they are controlled purely by it's motion control and voice recognition interface, and can't use a controller. There are other Xbox 360 games that can use Kinect to enhance the game-play with the additional features that Kinect offers.
Below we have a selection of games that are compatible with Kinect and are excellent examples of how Kinect can improve the world for the Core gamer.Child of Eden
Offering a magical experience, Child of Eden is a game for the senses . Using elegant game-play mechanics to create a hugely immersive, first-person shooter. When you shoot, the music and the world around you shifts, the whole game ripples with gameplay. More than a game ,Child of Eden is an experience and can be done justice with words, an incredible title that needs to be played to be believed.Ghost Recon Future Soldier
You are a ghost. The first, first-person shooter that allows you to operate solely with Kinect. Reload, zoom and fire with simple gestures. Bring down your enemies in a hail of bullets with a flick of your hand. Navigate the menu customise your weapons with voice control and hand gestures. Is it perfect? Well, wel let you be the judge of that!Mass Effect 3
No messing around here this is a definitive hardcore Game. Mass Effect 3 is great example of how Kinect can enhance the gameplay of real games in a way that other consoles can currently compete with. Taking advantage of Kinect advanced voice software you can control your squad in combat with commands, giving yourself that extra edge. When out of combat, the same software allows you to take control in conversations so you need never click for your response again. If you have to save the universe, do it in style,and do it with Kinect.Forza Motorsport 4
Forza 4 has Kinect integration in almost every area of the game. If you love cars, then the auto vista is for you, exploring every feature of the car with your hands, with Jeremy Clarkson providing a detailed voiceover. When racing, Kinect tracks your movement, enabling you to check your mirrors with a gentle turn of your head. It even allows you to steer the car using Kinect, putting you more firmly in the drivers seat than ever before.Rise of Nightmares
Created by the guy behind, the classic, House of the Dead, this is clearly not a title for your mum! It gritty, it bloody, it full of zombies and you will die all the time. . . Either by being ripped apart by the hordes of undead or sliced in half by deadly traps, Rise of Nightmares is not a game for the faint hearted. You are the controller, so hold onto your limbs.Final Word
The games on this page are a but a few of the incredible range of games that Kinect can improve. With more coming out all the time, Kinect is soon to become an essential accessory for every gamer.Published: 23/11/2011
Microsoft and LucasArts have announced that the long-awaited Kinect Star Wars will be released in the UK this April.
The motion-controlled title will feature a wide array of modes and gameplay challenges that allow fans to become Jedi Knights, wield lightsabers and use the Force, all through the power of Kinect.
Players will be able to engage in space battles, pilot speeder bikes and duel against iconic Star Wars villains, while a bonus Galactic Dance Off mode lets them groove along to Star Wars-themed pop tunes and challenge Darth Vader to a dance battle.
The game includes scenes and set-pieces taken from all six films and will also feature optional 3D visuals, creating the most immersive Star Wars experience ever.
Kinect Star Wars will also be included in a new console bundle that features a special Xbox 360 designed to resemble plucky droid R2-D2, as well as a gold controller resembling his friend C-3PO.
Almost 20 million Kinect units have been sold since the hugely popular motion-tracking camera was released in November 2010.
Published: 08/02/2012
The forthcoming motion-controlled Kinect Star Wars is set to provide a Star Wars experience that the whole family can enjoy, according to Microsoft.
Jorg Neumann, executive producer for Microsoft Game Studios and project lead on the eagerly awaited Xbox 360 title, said it will be the "Star Wars game for everyone" thanks to its intuitive controls and range of modes.
"The number one thing about the game is it makes you really feel like a Jedi," he added.
Kinect Star Wars allows players to use their body movements to immersive themselves in action sequences based on all six classic films, including lightsaber duels, space combat and thrilling races.
Quirkier additions include the Rancor mode, which allows players to trash environments as a giant monster, while Galactic Dance Off offers a rare opportunity to defeat Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine with funky disco moves.
The game will also be available as part of a special Star Wars Xbox 360 bundle that features a console and controller decorated to look like robot duo R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Published: 20/03/2012
"The Force will be with you, always..."
Obi-Wan's words at the end of the original Star Wars arcade game have certainly proven to be true - and then some. The release of Kinect Star Wars on Xbox 360 - and the accompanying Limited Edition R2-D2 console - proves that we're still enjoying Star Wars video games today.
The motion-based controls of Kinect Star Wars shows just how far the franchise has come since the 8-bit action of The Empire Strikes Back on the Atari 2600 and Intellivision back in 1982.
Which got us thinking - over the past 30 years, Star Wars has appeared not only in a great number of games, but in all kinds of game. From side-scrolling adventures, to first-person shooters to flight simulators, there's almost no genre that has not visited that galaxy far, far away...
The First Person Shooter
Dark Forces (1995) took the first-person tactics of Doom and transported them to the Star Wars Universe, adding then-revolutionary features like multiple floors and "looking up and down". Along with its Jedi Knight sequels, gamers were hooked on the adventures of Kyle Katarn and his discovery of the Dark Trooper Project , and the series is notable as the first "Expanded Universe" adventures to be embraced by more mainstream fans.
First person shooting would return in the Star Wars Battlefront series almost a decade later, with the chance to play as StormTroopers, SnowTroopers, Rebel Soldiers or all kinds of troops and online skirmishing for the first time. We saw the last chapter of this series in 2009 - and are eagerly anticipating its return!
The Classic Arcade Game
While not the first Star Wars game, it was certainly one of the most memorable, and indeed laid the foundation of so much to come. Simulating the Death Star attack from the original movie, but with a bigger goal of avoiding enemies rather than shooting them in order to survive, the action played out with glorious wireframe graphics and - in a notable first for games in general - featured digitised voices and sounds from the original movie. It may seem simple by today's standards, but it set the bar for everything that was to come.
The Combat Flight Simulators
Arguably the first step in the 90s resurgence of Star Wars was the X-Wing series on PC. A WWII dogfight engine was given a 3D-graphic makeover and used to power the X-Wings, Y-Wings, TIE Fighters and more as the series moved through the events of the original trilogy. For many, these games really cemented just how good, and how versatile, Star Wars could be as a video game property.
Rogue Squadron picked up where X-Wing left off. The series favoured arcade-style scoring on individual missions over the larger campaign-style approach, and took a much faster-paced approach to match the new power and possibilities offered by the N64 and GameCube. Rogue Squadron II is fondly remembered for its cinematic graphics, helping to usher Star Wars into the 21st Century
The Side-Scrollers
In the 90s, PCs had the X-Wing and Jedi Knight series, but Sega and Nintendo's consoles also had their share of Star Wars action. Games like Star Wars on the NES and Master System, Super Star Wars on the SNES and Shadows of the Empire on the N64 were more literal, adventure-driven adaptations, giving the chance to play as Luke, Han, Leia and the gang in ways that had never really been done before, and wouldn't again until the fun and frolics of the LEGO games. For all the fun that the 'Expanded Universe' offered, it actually made a change to just play out the movies!
The Racing Games
For all of the Phantom Menace's faults, one thing many agreed was that the Pod Races were cool. Star Wars Episode 1: Racer for the N64 attempted to recreate that coolness, with interesting and inventive tracks that took you off Tatooine and into the wider Star Wars galaxy. But what made it particularly cool was the option to use two N64 controllers as the dual controls of your racer and really feel like little Anakin.
Star Wars also went down the kart racing route in Super Bombad Racing. It was aimed primarily for children to play, and while it was not the most well-received game that the franchise has offered, it had some fun gameplay and a fun visual style. If nothing else, proved that Star Wars could be adapted to pretty much any style of game.
The Real Time Strategies
The Star Wars universe seems an obvious canvas for strategy games, but the results have been mixed. Rebellion, Force Commander and Galactic Battlegrounds all gave it a try and had some interesting campaigns, but never really excited the way Star Wars should.
Empire at War intended to end all that. A new engine was built from the ground-up, the need to build and acquire resources was removed, and the battles became much more realistic. The game was set between the end of the prequels and the beginning of the original trilogy, was chock full of well-known planets, vehicles and characters, and featured both Rebel and Imperial campaigns, including a scenario where the Empire actually wins! It was the RTS fans had been waiting for, and, thanks to a vibrant mod community, was also the RTS fans could make their own.
The Beat 'Em Up
In what seemed another obvious step, Masters of Teras Kasi took Star Wars into the beat 'em up arena on the original PlayStation in 1997. It mixed established stars like Luke and Chewie with lesser-known EU characters like Jodo Kast, giving each an individual style like the fighters of Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. But unlike those games, Masters of Teras Kasi had an inferior fighting engine, and the combination of obscure characters and the use of Lightsabers as little more than clubs did little to win over either casual or committed fans. Darth Vader and Yoda would go on to appear in SoulCalibur IV, but otherwise Masters of Teras Kasi was the first - and last - foray into the beat 'em up.
The Action/Adventure
Much like Shadows of the Empire a decade before, The Force Unleashed was part of a massive multimedia campaign to create an exciting new chapter in the Star Wars saga. It introduced 'Starkiller', Darth Vader's secret apprentice, but also introduced Star Wars adventuring to the current generation of consoles - and was the first chance to use a Wii controller to wield a Lightsaber! While it didn't quite live up the 'next big thing' hype surrounding it, the plot, visuals and gameplay won over enough fans to warrant a sequel.
The RPGs
Set 4000 years before the events of the movies, Knights of the Old Republic hit PC, Mac and Xbox in 2003. Choosing to play as Jedi or Sith, the pre-movie period setting allowed for a large-scale and versatile universe without having to worry about the established characters and storylines. The intricate plot featured twists and turns with a major shock twist coming at the end of the first game, still talked about as one of the best in gaming history.
Things expanded with the release of MMO The Old Republic. Bioware promised a larger focus on story than usual for MMOs, a sensible step as the allegiances and politics of the Star Wars universe is more defined than the likes of Azeroth. The Jedi/Sith choice remained, with different classes available to both sides, and the opportunity for player vs player combat in the wider Star Wars universe was more than welcomed by players all over the world - nearly 2 million of them!
And the rest
There are plenty of Star Wars games we've not mentioned here - there simply isn't room to write about them all! But we hope this has been a fun trip around the Star Wars Universe, and one that shows just how versatile that universe is.
If we've missed your favourite, or you have any other Star Wars gaming memories you want to share, feel free to add your comments below. And May The Force Be With You.

We've been waiting for an announcement on the brand new Star Wars franchise teased by LucasArts recently, and the cat is finally out of the bag. Star Wars 1313 is the name of the third-person adventure game being cooked up by the studio.
The collaboration between a diverse array of Lucas's companies which include Lucasfilm Animation, Skywalker Sound and Industrial Light & Magic, Star Wars 1313 will result in a mature, 18-rated game. Taking on the role of a bounty hunter, LucasArts is promising "a dark and mature" gaming experience powered by the Unreal Engine.
A statement from the developer outlined the grand vision for this new adventure:
"Named for Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet of Coruscant, the game puts players in control of a deadly bounty hunter as he uses an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down his marks and uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy," it read.
"Star Wars 1313 emphasizes epic set pieces and fast-paced combat with a hero who uses human skills and gadgets, rather than supernatural Force powers, to make his way through this dangerous world."
According to LucasArts president Paul Meegan, we can expect to find out much more about the game at next week's E3 gaming extravaganza in Los Angeles.
"We're excited to share one of the projects LucasArts has been hard at work developing," he said.
"Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we've always known existed, but never had a chance to visit. We are committed to bringing the best gameplay experience and visual fidelity to life and I truly believe the work we are showcasing at E3 will speak for itself."
When Disney acquired the rights to the Star Wars universe, following the purchase of George Lucas's LucasFilm, many fans were left wondering what it would mean for the future of videogames set within the epic franchise.
Well, it turns out that Disney has decided to license out the property to EA for multi-platform console development, while keeping social, online and mobile opportunities for itself. Frank Gibeau, EA Labels President, confirmed that Dead Space and Battlefield studios Visceral and DICE respectively would be creating games in the franchise - and so will the creators of the Knights of The Old Republic series, BioWare.
"Every developer dreams of creating games for the Star Wars universe," began Gibeau.
"The new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay. Powering it all will be the Frostbite 3 development engine - guaranteeing incredible graphic fidelity, environments and characters."
Well, if the publisher's looking for any suggestions, both Knights of The Old Republic 3 and Battlefront 3 have been clamoured for by fans in recent years, and would surely put the massive publisher back into gamers' good books, following the troubled release of SimCity.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Schenectady County Community College has a new partner: Downtown Albany.
Albany County and SCCC officials announced a new partnership and plan to build classroom space for SCCC's new downtown Albany location at 112 State Street. The agreement allows the college to offer courses and new options for its students
SCCC President Dr. Quintin Bullock says this expansion is just the beginning. "SCCC will utilize about 10,000 square feet to provide quality educational experiences to greater numbers of students and is the first step in our expansion in creating a formal extension center in Albany County," Bullock said.
Officials call this a win-win. SCCC can expand its base and Albany can benefit from the economic impacts.

War of 1812 lecture Collector and War of 1812 expert Lou Schultz speaks at a free lecture June 2 in the Hayes Museum.
Ohio in the War of 1812 On June 18, 1812, President James Madison declared war on Great Britain over the forced service of Americans in the British Royal Navy, trade restrictions, the and increasing British influence among Native Americans. The year 2013 marks the bicentennial of the major events of the war on the Ohio Frontier - areas bordering Lake Erie that now are part of Ohio, Michigan, and Canada.
During the War of 1812, the Ohio Frontier played a pivotal role as the Army of the Northwest struggled against Great Britain for control of the Great Lakes. Through the holdings of the Hayes Presidential Center and the Lou Schultz Collection, the new exhbiti War of 1812 on the Ohio Frontier explores Americas early defeats and its eventual victories at Fort Meigs, Fort Stephenson, on Lake Erie, and at the Thames successes that inspired a sense of pride throughout the young nation. The exhibit is on display now through October 6, 2013 . It was made possible through sponsorship from the Sidney Frohman Foundation. A June 2 lecture is planned in conjunction with the exhibition. Lou Schultz, whose personal collection is the foundation of the exhibit and who serves on the Ohio War of 1812 Bicentennial Committee, speaks about Ohio's significance during the war. The free event begins at 2 p.m. in the Hayes Museum auditorium.

When you get to be around my stage in life you're looking to fill your bucket list, and Africa was number one, has been since I was a child, actually. So when I chose to come to this safari, I had high expectations. They've all been met and exceeded. You walk in here, you walk around the campsites, you get in the vehicles, you see Africa, and it's sort of becomes part of your soul.
Photographic Safari Client
My favorite moment was, for sure, the encounter with the cheetahs at the water's edge. There was a little stream with cheetahs, and the reflection was just awesome, all blue. I got some awesome shots from that.

I also just like the general massive herds just trucking on through. Don't worry about you. They've just got a place to go. That's all they're worried about is where they're going, and it's impossible to describe these masses of animals just moving along.
Photographic Safari Client
My favorite part of the trip so far – because this is my first time to do anything like this, any type of vacation – was actually when we flew into the airport. There was a pond of hippos below us when we flew over. So that was kind of, "Okay, we're in Africa now."

The accommodations have been great. We have warm beds, a self-contained toilet that we can use, a hot shower in the evening. The food's been great. I eat a lot of food at home and have not gone hungry here. I'm also a very picky eater, and I've definitely liked the food that we have.

The accommodations here have just been fantastic for tents. It's like you're in a hotel or a lodge actually, because you can walk out. The food's been great, and the beds and everything has been fantastic, comfortable, warm.

I've been on Safari now for about eight days, and I can honestly say this is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. The wildlife has been amazing. We've seen everything that I was hoping to see multiple times and more. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly. One of the things that I like about Andy's safari is that, as a photographer, you get the time to work with the animal as long as you want. You can recompose. The drivers are accommodating. If you need them to move around for different angles, they'll stay with the subject as long as you like. If you want to wait for better light, you can wait for better light. There's no rush.
The Outdoor Photo Gear Store sells great photography equipment and accessories for the wildlife, landscape, and nature photographers. If you haven't visited The Outdoor Photo Gear Store to see all great camera and flash accessories for the avid outdoor photographer, you should check out all the great gear we offer.

Tools area a matter of preference. Snap-On, MAC, Matco are all excellent tools, the trucks arrive once week at the shop and broken or replacement tools are easy. You don't need tlo drive anywhere. If you call the truck, in many cases they will stop by the shop on an off day if you need something. The down side, they are expensive, if you fall behind on the credit payments, the truck dealers can be very aggressive in repo of the tools.
On the other hand, Sears, Kobalt, etc tools are not as durable, but will last a long time if properly cared for. Craftsman will replace broken sockets, but you must drive to the store or mail order for a a replacement which is time consuming.
Cheap tools are exactly that, cheap, but I always keep some cheap tools ( screwdrivers, pliers, scokets, etc.) around because those are the tools that I will bend or modify for unique situations. (example: access to a oil pressure sending unit, I cut the side out of a cheap socket to complete the job)
Good tools are worth the money, but cheap tools have a place in the toolbox as well. When first starting out, I would buy long term good tools and buy some cheap tools such as some screwdrivres, pliers, clamps, etc.. for now & slowly replace them a little later on, when you can afford it.
Just my 2 cents worth.

The convenience of the tool truck is a doube-edged sword. Yes, they come to you. BUT, if a tool breaks the day after he comes, you have to wait until the next week, or track him down.
The hassle of going to the store is a double-edged sword as well. Yes it's a hassle to go replace a broken tool. BUT you can go any day of the week.
I have seen the snap-on (or Mac, matco, Cornwell, etc.) Pretty much wreak havoc on guys who get in over their heads with the tool payments. I had a bad habit of buying tools cause "I liked them" and just having it put on my tab. The tool sellers play to this common habit.
I have developed a complete bias against credit. If I cannot cash-flow it, I don't buy it. Of course, I have 30 years of tools in my garage, so I have that luxury. If I went back to turning wrenches for a living, there wouldn't be much I needed. My metric tools are a little thin, but adequate.
The tool truck tools are definitely better tools, I just don't think they're 3-5 times better as the price would reflect.
Side note: I just came back from the flea market and $100-$200 would buy me all the American made wrenches I would ever need. They would be some of the vintage American brands (Proto, Industro, New Brittain, Eastco, Williams, etc). Many of those easily compare to Snap-On and were major DOD contracted manufacturers. Of course the warranty problem arises, but for the most part, those old wrenches look as good as the day they were new and $3-$10 per wrench is a screaming deal for true American-made tools.

I'm an apprentice tech too ( from UTI ) and I am starting out myself. While Snap On has some good stuff, I buy a lot from the independent guy ( Grey Pnuematic, Gear Wrench, OTC and even SK.. now out of business I think..) No reason to go out and buy all the most expensive sockets and other things. While I do have Snap On, Matco, and Cornwell those other brands are warrantied also. Not to mention our indepent tool truck is on time every time ( just sayin I want to know he's gonna be there to fix the broken stuff ). We lost our Snap On guy for months.. that's no good. However, I would recommend getting Snap Ons' 80 tooth ratchet and their flank drive wrenches and just mix and match from there. When you upgrade then you take the other stuff home! I worked with a kid that went berserker on the Snap On truck and was in debt waaaayyy over his head, he had tools he never even used but was payin out the ass for them. Just take it easy, like the guys said it's easy to get carried away. Good luck! |

tools don't make the mechanic.
(as someon here is fond of saying - just because it says "professional grade" on the box....)
I ran my first business on Proto, Indestro, Craftsman, Ace, S-K (was S-K Wayne for a while) and misc gift tools, and auction tools.
I won the Plymouth Troubleshooting contest on Craftsman and misc tools. In fact, I set a record time - using Craftsman tools.
I was using mostly craftsman when I ended up on the college dean's list with a 4.0 (while those with snap-on were barely making it at all)
I built my reputation using a mix of mostly craftsman with a mix of other stuff tossed in as I could afford or needed.
To this day it's 80% craftsman..
So tools don't make the tech. And if you know how to use and care for them, even medium tools can last nearly a lifetime.
BTW - I recently broke a New Brittain socket - took it to NAPA and they actually recalled that they used to sell NB tools - and gave me today's equal as a replacement. First NB tool I ever broke.
Now - ever wonder why some tools last some folks longer than other? ;-)
Here's another take:
Our college class started with 30 folks.
Through the the months, they dropped like flies - most who left were those who were the neighborhood mechanic, or had worked with dad for years and knew they were destined.....
We graduated 19. of those 19, only 1 was able to achieve A's.
11 of them found out that working as a mechanic, then finding out what they needed to know to do the job right or be certified were two different things at times.
It might be tough - so be prepared!
I like wha fsj and ramblinman have said - there's some wisdom in all that.

I have primarily a mix of Snap-on & Matco with a few fancy Hazet & Stahlwille pieces in the mix. They each have there own strengths and weaknesses but they are all quality tools. Another thing to consider is the sales reps in your area. The only tool reps around here are Snap-on...the rest are all out of business. Fortunately, our Snap-on guy is one of the best. He give's every tech his cell # and will make a special trip to replace a must have tool.
My final word of advise is Learn. Learn everything you can from the tech in the shop who has spent many years in the industry and can fix anything that comes in the door...not the guy who can knock out a four wheel brake job & 60k service in 2 hours. Parts changers are everywhere but good techs can be hard to find. Shop owners & service managers know this. Learn how and why things work, not just how to replace them. I see new tech's every day that are lost if the symptom doesn't fit the diagnostic tree. That's when an understanding of how a part works pays off and gives you the skills needed to fix the problem on the first visit...not the second or third. These skills will also help to secure your position in the shop during a slow economy. Edited by amcguru - Aug/29/2010 at 11:54am |

I worked with a guy years ago who just couldn't resist , bought a $3000+ Snap-On rollabout toolbox, didn't even have enough tools to fill it. We kidded him about putting a wrench per drawer . He kept it a secret from his wife as long as he could, but eventually she found out. I won't say that toolbox caused a divorce, but it sure didn't help.
I always enjoyed looking thru the tool trucks when they'd come by the shop, but I always tried to keep my purchases on a cash bases only. As a result, even though i'm a bodyman, i've probably got about as many mechanic specialised tools as body tools. But now that i'm retired, i'm putting them all to use.

AMEN. man, those echo my very thoughts (and 1 reason 11 dropped out of our class over the months) My first real shop boss was an "old-timer"......... he could listen, test drive, feel, and figure things out. My 2nd full-time boss had worked with cars almost since the very first cars. he knew the tricks. I learned a ton from those two. K-Mart auto wants quantity 4 profit, the customer wants quality - the first time. But if u r good, really good, u can do quality work quickly as u diagnose it correctly the first time. 0 comebacks, happy customers. I got my first job out of college because I could diagnose with a scope actually better than the service manager............... |

I'm thinking about SK tools. I want somewhat of a happy medium. I dont want to be in debt, but I want good tools. The problem i see with SK is the time to get a warrantied tool replaced because they dont have the tool truck. NAPA also makes a "Pro Grade" line of tools, does anyone have experience with napas line?

If you're concerned with breakage and speed of replacement, you could always keep an assortment of cheaper back-up tools. That way you're not left in the lurch when you main tool breaks or "walks away". I'm not saying you need a complete second set of tools, just the basics you can't live without.
FWIW, my tools box is filled with Craftsman, and they have done me well. But I'm a hobbyist, not a professional. I don't know how well they would hold up to the heavy use of a pro, especially now that I see the "imported" label (i.e. Chinese) on most of their hand tools. |

I dunno about the current NAPA line-up, but the new brittian stuff used 2 b tops.
I like my s-k stuff a lot, too. have a great 3/8" s-k ratchet. I agree on the "backups" - I've got very nearly enough basics for both buildings........... I made a good living with my tools - so it can be done, and rarely did I ever buy on credit. IMO, the better mechanic or tech u r, the longer any tool will last u. My problem is that most of my stuff is from years if not decades ago, so it's harder 2 comment on this week's tool quality. My tools date from the 1920s up to current, with the bulk bought in the 70s, 1975 when I got a big break on craftsman tools 4 being in the plymouth troubleshooting contest. My snap-on stuff is from the 70s and 80s. so what would I do now if I broke a tool? well, sears is 15 minutes away, and snap-on, mac or matco, who the *&^$# knows!!! I could get my craftsman stuff replaced right now, today - what about my other stuff?? Edited by billd - Aug/30/2010 at 10:04am |

Listen to Nicki Minaj on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Nicki Minaj's new warts-and-all, day-in-the-life reality miniseries, "My Truth," premiered Sunday night on E! On the show, she claimed she can "see the future," and that her Pink Friday fragrance is a "milestone for hip-hop." And so on.
Also, the long-unanswered question, and mystery for the TV ages was finally solved by Sunday's "My Truth" premiere: Why was Nicki a full hour late to her first "American Idol" audition taping in September? Because she was steamed over the fact that her hotel did not supply her with a jacket steamer.
Skip to the 9:11 mark in the video below to watch Nicki throw a Roman-esque massive attack when she can't find an appropriate outfit/wig combo to wear to her big "Idol" debut:
Additionally, a sneak preview of this coming Sunday's second episode of "Nicki Minaj: My Truth" catches Minaj saying, "I think that Mariah met her match this time. And I don't think she was expecting to meet her match." Hmmm. That doesn't sound like rumors of Nicki and Mariah's feud is exaggerated (as "Idol" powers-that-be claim), or that Nicki has any intention of becoming besties with her new "Idol" co-star.

DIY // A Simple Maxi Skirt
/Knit maxi skirts are so easy to make and and so fun to wear! I love how versatile they are and I'm slowly growing my own collection. I made this maxi skirt a few weeks ago and wanted to share the tutorial with you all.
You will need:
- Basic sewing skills
- Access to a sewing machine
- Knit fabric (any length from 1m to 1.5m will give you plenty to work with)
- Matching thread
- Elastic (enough to go around your hips comfortably)
- A tape measure
- A hand sewing needle, pins, and a safety pin (the larger the better)
Step 1
a) Measure and pin your waistband, folding it over to the wrong side of the fabric. I used a larger piece of elastic, so I went with a 5cm waistband to accommodate it.
b) Sew your waistband, reversing at both ends to secure the thread.
Step 2
a) Pin your safety pin through one end of the elastic.
b) Using the safety pin, pull the elastic through the waistband.
c) Keep elastic free at both ends of the waistband.
Step 3
Wrapping the fabric around your hips, decide how much excess fabric you want to remove - if you want a fuller skirt then keep most of the fabric, if you want it more slim-fitting then remove a bit more.
Play around with the fabric, adjusting it along the elastic and see what you like. I like my skirts a bit fuller, so I only cut off 18cm of fabric (I originally started with 150cm).
Step 4
a) Put both ends of the elastic together and sew, reversing for a few stitches at both ends to secure the thread.
b) With the right sides of the fabric together, sew the side seam.
Step 5
a) Turn the edges of the waistband under. Thread a hand sewing needle and slip stitch the waistband seam closed.
b) The waistband will look something like this when it's done.
Step 6
a) Fold a 5cm hem over to the wrong side of the fabric. Tuck 1cm of that fold under, to create a tidy edge. Sew along the top of the hem, following the folded edge.
b) The wrong side of the hem.
c) The right side of the hem.
And you're done! This is somewhat of a lazy DIY - I didn't do any overlocking and I kept it pretty simple. Buy hey, sometimes you don't need to go all out, sometimes simple just works!
Do you have any experience with sewing your own clothes? What do you think of this DIY? I'd love to hear!

Unseasonable Weather Continues With Winter Weather Advisory
Snow is possible every day until Tuesday.
The prospect of more snow remains even as residents dig out from "Winter Storm Walda" Thursday's weather closed the Hiawatha light rail, cancelled numerous flights out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport and forced schools to cancel or postpone most sporting events. The winter storm warning expired at 7 p.m. Thursday, but a winter weather advisory remains in effect until noon Friday. "A winter weather advisory for snow means that periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties," according to the National Weather Service. There is an 80 percent chance of snow Friday, mostly until noon. Snow is possible every day until Tuesday.

"Very Dissatisfied"
We replaced our old unit with this Goodman unit, and have had nothing but problems. The valves have been leaking, the ac guy kept replacing refrigerant because the valves were not available to him. There was a recall I am told, and he was never informed. I would never purchase one of this Heat Pumps from this company again, as I was given no satisfaction. This unit is not even 2 years old.

Both my neighbor and I bought this heat-pump and both went down before the warranty even went out. Both incurred high cost repair bills because the cost of freon is so high and the company does not reimburse for their shortcoming. Not a good product. Would not recommend.

"Goodman DSZC18 Bad Heat Pump"
New system installed 29 July 2011 sw Indiana. Goodman Heat Pump model DSZC18 along with new inside unit. 1st problem was when system was running hard in early January 2012 (less than 6 months). Compressor Rotor Lockup. Called for service could not determine cause and reset heat pump controller. Compressor Rotor lockup two days later. While serviceman was checking system again he touched the 220V leads on the controller board and about got shocked. He called regional distributor and they said "Oh yeah, we have had some problems with bad controller boards." Cold solder joint. Replaced board. Compressor Rotor lockup a few days later, serviceman replaced expansion valve and another part and charged system with coolant. I had to pay a $70 service call total (should have been picked up by Goodman). System ran fine until mid May when weather got unusually hot then Compressor rotor lockup again. Reset unit by cycling circuit breaker. System ran fine for 5 days and locked up again. Cycled circuit breaker system locked up a few days later. Serviceman started trying to diagnose the problem, Goodman wanted to blame power to house/unit. Service man finally put on a generic hard start kit but unit continued to lockup almost daily into and through June. Toward end of June 2012, unit was locking up multiple times a day. Regional service tech for Goodman came to house with serviceman and tried many things and took multiple voltage and current readings (I had also been documenting time of day and outside temp when units were locking up). Goodman wanted to blame grounding for power. I checked all of the ground connections and did not find a problem. They had indicated that they would replace the unit but instead serviceman had to drive out of town to pickup a factory hard start kit (Goodman could not be bothered to UPS it). Unit is running better but has locked up twice since the factory hard start kit was installed. I have let the serviceman and the Goodman tech both know this but have heard nothing back. It will be interesting to see how the unit performs the rest of the summer. The hard start kit is nothing but a band aid on this system. The Goodman tech indicated that he was not seeing this problem with the same model on other installations and he covers a large area of Southern Indiana, parts of Ohio and a good portion of Kentucky. Goodman does not stand behind their equipment. I would never install another Goodman system(or any other brand they are affiliated with) or recommend one. Amana trademark is owned by Maytag Worldwide, but is licensed and distributed by Goodman. Goodman Manufacturing is privately owned and headquartered in Houston, TX (USA). Goodman also owns the Goodman, Janitrol and GmC brands of heating and cooling equipment.

"Very hard working little heat pump"
I was just reading the reviews of the other Goodman heat pump owners and am surprised that they've had such bad luck. We live in Phoenix and had a Beazer home built in 2000. The builder installed Goodman Heat Pumps in all the houses. Other than the shroud noise it has been a fantastic little unit! We now have a Taylor Morrison home and that Beazer house is a rental. After only 3 years this new a/c unit has already gone thru a capasitor. 3 years! Our little Goodman unit has only had two freon fills and one capasitor in twelve years! It just keeps going.. Very impressed with it.. It will eventually go (we have a home warranty) and when it does I will certainly feel like we've had our monies worth. Can't complain about how it has worked in the Arizona heat.

"Warranty stipulations are stupid"
Installed last of 2010. Emptied Freon the first part of 2011 due to copper lines chaffing. Paid repairman $50 for Freon because no parts replaced. Goodman said they would pay $100 for Freon if parts were replaced. Do they not realize and empty system is an empty system no matter how it gets out. Monday it died again. House fan motor this time. None on the East coast. Houston, tx suppose to got some Friday. By the time we get it, and get it installed, the heat pump will have been down 11 or 12 days in some 100+ degree days. Avoid this company

Goodman is the worst heat pump I have ever owned, and I have owned many through the years. After 2 years of operation the compressor went out, with a cost of $500.00 for labor and the warranty according to Shelby Chilton Heating and Air on its last leg, so $500.00 labor only, Goodman did supply the compressor and some other parts not installed originally or so they(Shelby Chilton) said. Since then I have spent thousands of dollars on numerous heating and air companies trying to find and repair a problem without success, finally one found a leak in the indoor coil unit and advised me they could try and repair it with no guaranty the repair would last through the season, then told me this was a common problem with Goodman because of their manufacturing practices. Since the Government is forcing a change in types of Freon again, Freon has gone through the roof price wise, the last time I had Freon installed, three and a half pounds cost $250.00, roughly $72.00 a pound which makes having Freon installed two to three times a year cost prohibitive. Long story short I could have purchased a new unit for the costs involved in attempted repairs many times over. After checking with numerous companies, I have been told by all of these companies that Goodman has substandard manufacturing practices and they love them for the repairs they generate. I am purchasing a new unit and the Goodman will be put where it belonged when it was new, in the scrap yard! The bottom line here based on my experience with heat pumps in general, no one on earth should ever, ever, ever, ever, ever; purchase a Goodman product unless you just enjoy wasting time and money.

"Condenser Unit Received with Defective Compressor"
I just received a Goodman heat pump system and the compressor is bad. They are replacing the compressor; but, I have to pay to have it installed. The labor cost is $600.00. Pretty poor for a new out of the box system (doa). My suggestion would be try a different brand before Goodman. It certainly can't be any worse. :-)

"Extreme junk"
Unit is now 4 years old. broke during first year, second year, third year and 4th year. Heating bills of over $700, with over 2 inches of ice on the coils in Alabama, not alaska. Finally, stopped using unit and went back to good old 220 volt space heaters. Electric bill dropped 200 bucks going back to original heating. Pops reversing valves, compressor goes bad, expansion valves. The only thing that has worked properly is the fan and the blast coils. If you want to throw your money away, do yourself a favor and purchase a Goodman. No support from company. Seriously, a large class action lawsuit needs to put that company out of business. Unit is very loud, sounding like a sledge hammer when it shuts off in heat cycle.

"Would not purchase again"
My unit is five years old. I have replaced a capacitor, coil, and now my compressor is shot. Never again.
