text: Riding The Tiger "I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. Truman Posted November 29, 2012 By Carah Ong The Biggest Myths of the 2012 Election As part of the Miller Center's Recasting Presidential History conference in October, the History News Network interviewed participants on presidential history. Following the conference, Dick Walsh, editor of the History News Network, conducted a post-election analysis interview with Ira Chernus, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado. The full video chat is available on the Miller Center's website (click here to watch), but in this post, we survey key insights on the election offered by Prof. Chernus. In the video chat, Chernus discussed the key myths told during the campaign. To clarify, what Chernus means when he says myths are "the stories that are told to create a sense of identity to make sense out of the American experience. They are a mixture of fiction and truth." In 2012, the dominant myth that resonated was a story that hasn't been seen on the national scene in quite awhile – the story of the gap between the super rich and the rest of us. The story first began to surface with the Occupy Movement in 2011. It's been a long time since wealth and income inequality has been a story in the mass media. Obama began to speak about the difficulties of the middle class and the privileges of the rich about a year before the election. It is, of course, a story with deep historical roots, and has been used in the past by Franklin D. Roosevelt, as well as earlier progressive and populist movements. According to Chernus, the Obama campaign made very effective use of this myth to create a story about Romney as a vulture venture capitalist. Of course in politics you want to define your opponent before your opponent has a chance to define you. Obama defined himself as a champion of the middle class fighting against a predatory capitalist who would do to the whole nation what he had done to the workers of the companies bought out by Bain Capital. The Romney campaign made some effort to rebut this myth, but for the most part their strategy was not to engage. When you rebut, you go on the defensive and reinforce what your opponent says about you. Instead, the Romney campaign's effort was to define Obama as incompetent, and someone who had destroyed the economy and who didn't know how to get us out of the recession. The Romney team went back to Reagan's "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" That is also a traditional story in American politics. In the spring and summer, most pundits thought it would be the story of the election. The intervening months since then have shown that was too simplistic an analysis. The idea that political fortunes are determined by the economy is a long-standing story, but Chernus hopes it will be harder to make that case in the future because it is too simple – there are too many other variables interacting in elections.

First day of hunting is in the books. I had a long night and day (8-31-2012). I didn't sleep at all last night. Reinjured my back at a sporting good store in Spokane. Long story made short... a kid about 5 feet behind me messing around with the gun safes and one of the large safes tilted off the pallet when he opened the door. I was turning around facing him and the safe was already 45 degree's when it slammed down on the little boy. I feared the worse. He was screaming underneath and a foot was sticking out flailing. I was able to pull the safe up off the kid and I was screaming for help. the father was over in the rifle section about 20 feet away on his cell phone. He finally heard my calls for help. The store employee's and manager came running.... asking what happened...mind you,,, I am partially disabled and still holding a gun safe at an angle. I screamed at them to help me. The safe's doors actually broke off during the impact. I think that what saved the boy. The boys vital area's ended up inside the safe. He broke one hands by the looks of things and he was screaming. The father thanked me. After my adrenaline rush subsided. I felt the back pain come back. I'm just glad the boy survived. Between that and opening day...I haven't slept yet. I went out earlier about 9 am and also around 5 pm (9-1-12). I had a lot of deer around me but not the bigger buck I wanted. I had Deer 6 yards away from me and they never knew I was there. The wind was swirling as i crouch along an embankment, I was holding the postion so long that i had that numbing pain from the waist down. between the slip system and my TrophyBlend deer scents, I had the wind blowing right in their faces and never smelled my stink!. lol. I wanted to change position so bad but I couldn't. Doe after doe, some with fawns, some yearlings, and a couple non legal bucks passed by at 6 to 10 yards. I ad the arrows nocked and release ready as I was hoping for a good size 3 pointer would come by. Not this night. i found out later as i walked back home that the bachelors had traveled down the other side of the hill. I calmly walked like I was going for a stroll, no being sneaky. The bucks just watched me cautiously as i strolled home. I did range they but they were over 100 yards out. I only had about 10 mintues left of legal time and I didn't want to push the deer away from the area. Because i will be in that same spot this afternoon in hopes that they take that specific deer trail.
Here's some pics I took of the first day. I could of taken any Doe I wanted but I didn't really want one on the first day...I have 29 days more to go.
p.s., This is an edited post I copied from a thread I had on another forum that I wrote last night. Right afterward I passed out... I needed sleep I didn't even go out this morning, my body needed the rest. i reread the post I made after the safe incident and it was horrible, Not even a person that can understand Double S writing could probably have read it. They say you should never post anything when your Tired, angry, or drunk....I was tired. LOL. I'll be adding pics to this post everyday until I kill a deer or you see me BURN my unfilled tag. LOL I'll be going out this afternoon. I've had the best fortune hunting late in the afternoon. I have till 8 PM tonight.

Yep, for real. I just put a new plug in my 1998 Kawaski 220 Bayou ATV. The little fella got ta balking some and a little unsmooth. Pulled the plug and saw that the center tip was gone. Well, not gone but burned back and shaking it would have the center tip slide back and forth, so burned off up inside the spark plug. Kinda figured that could be the problem.
So to my Kaw dealer me went. So bought a new spark plug and here wandered in the original owner of the shop, Gary Jett. He had turned the Kaw shop over to his kids. Kids being a loose term as they are well into their 30s. I've known Gary and his kids since I was a kid....50 years maybe.
Me is never easy on Gary. First thing I did was hold up the old spark plug and asked if it didn't fall under warranty. Gary; "You're killing me, Sonny! Just killing me!" Me wiked it!
Yes, first spark plug since a I bought the ATV in 1998. The little machine has been a work horse. Pulling in deer and pushing tons of snow ever since 1998. It's hauled tons of trash stuff to the long entrance run of a underground coal mine shaft I've been filling in. Pulled tree top and good size logs it probably shouldn't have. Used at the archery club, it hauled over a 2000 targets for some 8 years. And it was on duty every 3D weekend.
Snow. Look out when I get run at it. Blade set so, wide open in 1st and 2nd gear it will make snow fly like the state highway snow plow trucks!
With the flood we just went through it's been worked and worked hard. And ain't no body as proud of their ATV as I am. It's paid for itself a few times over.
It has never used a drop of oil. Front tires are still original, but have 20 cans of tire sealer/inflater stuff in them. The back tires were replaced 4 years ago or so. I've put 3 batteries in it. Years back the rubber boot cover for the drive shaft tore and, unnoticed, water and rust took out the carrier bearing. There is no replacing the carrier bearing, you have to buy the whole drive shaft. That cost me some $375.00. Otherwise, the little guy is original.
Run? Oh yes! For a only a 220 cc it will flat get with the program. Offers to buy have been many. One even said he wanted me call him if I ever decided to trade or sell it. He was nuts and I was crazy; He offered me $2500.00. I gave something of $2800.00 for it new. His offer doesn't bother me a bit. If it blows tomorrow I ain't lost a thing. Like I said above, it's paid for itself a few times over.

|Toomer's Oaks to be removed from Auburn campus
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 02 February 2013 11:06
University officials made the announcement Friday and said in a statement that the trees are unlikely to survive despite efforts to save them after they were poisoned with a powerful herbicide.
University officials say a new landscaping plan will be unveiled and the school will host a block party at Toomer's Corner on April 20 to give fans a final opportunity to gather near the landmarks.
It's unclear when the trees will be removed.
Harvey Updyke Jr. is accused of poisoning the trees and is scheduled to go to trial April 8.
The school plans to construct alternative structures for students and fans to gather around after big wins and on other special occasions.

text: Like a lot of people i had string wear from the trg. Well the customer service lady I spoke to said the reason they weren't sending any bow out with the trg was be because they couldn't produce them fast enough. I finally talk to warranty and they confirmed that its because of the problems that they are not shipping with the trg. Anyway after getting my trg reduced to a straight carbon rod and slide I have to send back the trg. This seems a little bs, I get something that's worth less than what I have? The saddleback thermal grip doesn't wrap around the riser like it does in the picture, not a big deal now, but come winter that riser gets damn cold. Don't get me wrong, I love this bow. It's my first ever new bow. Sorry for the rant, I just understand some people and they're thought process sometimes

Which bow where you using, and how fast is it shooting? Thinking about how fast America's little lion can move is what made me ask how much you lead him/her. Being in sight for 8-10 seconds sure does'nt give you a lot of time to make a lot of decissions. The poised, ready to pounce position would look real good, since you already have the back of the couch cat!

4X5, I was shooting one of the Warthogs set at around 67 pounds. Not sure on arrow speed, but I'm guessing high 290's. Haven't really gotten it tuned to shoot top speed, but it is shooting very well.
The back story is, I had my g/f with me as she is bowhunting this year. As we were driving up to my parking place where I hunt, we saw this bobcat walking along the field edge by the road, at about 70 yards. She had never seen on in real life before. We watched it for about a minute, then it dropped down into a dry creek. We went on to our stand, and had been sitting about 45 minutes when he walked back by. I just had enough time ot grab the bow, draw, and let one fly. She told me I had shot right over it's back. Well, we sat until dark, then I went to get my arrow. It was covered in blood. We trailed it for about 50 yards, then decided to wait until the next morning. Didn't really want to find a possibly wounded bobcat in the dark. Next morning, we got back on the trail where we found last blood. Trailed another 15 yards, and blood ran out. I noticed a pile of leaves that looked kinda funny, and he was buried underneath them. Something had covered him up in hopes of a snack later on. Not a tooth mark on him, just the arrow hole. I was glad when it showed no signs of damage. Only thing I can figure out is, it had to be another bobcat that buried him. A coyote would have at least taken a few bites.

BRP Upper & Lower Triple Clamp Set 02-08 KTM 125-530 (18mm Offse
Price: $339.95
Product Details
Please note that this clamp set is for models that came stock with cast triple clamps. However it will work on models that came with billet clamps; but you will also need to purchase a steering stem to use them.
BRP 18mm offset triple clamp sets are a great way to enhance the handling, ergonomics and look of your machine. Some models require additional hardware for the headlight and odo, be sure to select the options below. With BRP triple clamps you have a wide range of options to accommodate different rider ergonomic preferences. In most cases our top triple clamps offer a bar position with a greater "RTS" (Relative to Stem) distance than the stock triple clamp. [ RTS Chart ] Our triple clamp sets are available for most models in 4 basic bar mount configurations; featuring reversible bar mounts, 3 different bar mount heights and in some cases different lower bar perch offsets for increased bar position options.
We offer 18mm offset triple clamps for the late model KTM full size models. By REDUCING the offset (centerline distance between the fork tubes and the centerline of the steering stem) it changes the trail of the chasis; thus improving the handling characteristics on these bikes without affecting high speed stability. The 18mm offset is a 2mm reduced offset which reduces the pushy wandering feeling you get on the late model bikes, especially the four strokes.
BRP triple clamps are manufactured to the highest quality standards from 6061-T6 billet aluminum which is far stronger than the OEM unit and comparable in weight. Our precision machined fork bores feature a 2 pinch bolt design that increases the clamping surface on the forks which in turn will help prevent fork twist in the event of a hard landing or crash. Finished in our signature black anodize the BRP triple clamp will give your machine that factory look.
Bar Mount Configurations
This is fairly easy bolt on assembly which requires the steering stem to be pressed into the lower triple clamp which should be done by a qualified mechanic, but the installation requires basic hand tools and can be performed by the novice mechanic.

Singing Rock Footer Ascender Sling
Good, quality product. I started off with one of these, and it served me well for a couple of years. When it was time to retire it, I found I could easily make my own with some prussic cord and webbing. Still, it's a good product for someone new to rope work. Full review
Petzl Shunt
Unnecessary, "psychological" backup. I was terrified of rappelling and ascending ropes 14 years ago. So I bought the Shunt as a "back up" in case I messed up a rappel. The Shunt connects from your harness to the rope above your rappel device. To descend, you must use your non-dominate hand to hold open the cam. If you let go, the cam slams shut, pinching the rope and halting your descent. To that end, this device works fine. HOWEVER, human nature in a fall is to grab hold and squeeze tighter.

Singing Rock Puller Chest Ascender Harness
An important part of any ascension system, the Singing Rock Puller Chest Harness is well-made and dependable. I have owned several of these units, retiring them as age requires. They are still available in climbing stores and well worth the few bucks. Singing Rock is a great company, and this is a great item to use with a Frog Ascension System. The harness keeps your chest ascender (I prefer Petzl's Croll) in place on a climb. Without it, a climber would risk the ascender disconnecting from the… Full review
Petzl Pantin
Does what it is suppose to do quite well. I have been using the Patin for years as a supplement to my Frog Ascension. Normally, when you start out ascending a rope, you have to pinch the rope between your feet to get started. This is because, until you get a good 10' off the ground, there is not enough weight on the rope to automatically pull it through the ascenders. Pinching the rope with construction boots on can be a task, and a climber can expend a lot of energy in the initial ascent. The Pantin… Full review
Petzl Ascension
The Petzl Ascension is the only foot ascender on the market worth looking at. Although the price is a bit higher, I have known cavers who regretted trying cheaper alternatives. If you are new to rope work, Petzl is the brand to buy...period! So, I have said the same thing on my Petzl Croll review, but in a "Frog" ascending system, the Croll and Ascension are both critical components. You can't safely have one without the other. The Petzl Ascention is the only foot ascender I've ever used for caving. Full review
Petzl Croll
As a component in rope ascending, the Petzl Croll continues to be the best on the market. It is easy to use, even while wearing gloves. It holds true on wet, gritty rope. I have trusted my life to this item numerous times and will continue to do so. Petzl's ascenders are the only ones I've ever used for caving. They work right every time. I can set and remove them while wearing gloves. I literally have trusted my life with them scores of times. Petzl tends to be a bit pricier than other other brands,… Full review
Petzl Ascension
I got the Petzl Ascension ascender to replace my prussik cords for jugging fixed lines. In my search, I tried out numerous types of ascending devices such as the Black Diamond nForce and the Petzl Tibloc, but the Ascension stood out as the best piece for the job. I picked the left handed version so that I switch from using the "double ascender" method of jugging to the ascender/grigri method when I got enough money to guy the grigri. I also carry it along in case I need to perform a self rescue. Full review
Petzl Tibloc
I first saw this device in a climbing mag. As a rescue tech, I/we are always looking to try out new ideas, especially when they are this inexpensive and LIGHT! The Tibloc can be used as an emergency ascender on single rope up to 11mm (I've used it on 12mm with no probs.) and also as a makeshift locking pulley for hauling systems like the Z-rig. Works best with an oval or HMS carabiner with a round body. Plus side: Super simple, can't be removed from rope unless the attaching biner is removed also,… Full review

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the NuForce Dia by Dave Bar Turn 1s and 0s into sweet sounding music Why buy a separate DAC? These devices are all about getting true high-fidelity sound from digital sources like computers, streaming music players, smartphones, and more. While these kinds of sources usually have their own digital-to-analog converters built in, you can expect a separate DAC to give you much better accuracy and finer detail. Beef up the sound from your digital sources Streaming music wirelessly around the house is cool, but sometimes the low-fi audio components inside those wireless devices can leave your tunes sounding flat. Fortunately, there's help. If your devices have digital audio outputs, just plug them into the NuForce Dia. It bypasses those inferior electronics and handles the digital-to-analog processing instead. The Dia's high-quality DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and powerful, built-in amplifier will deliver impressive levels of realism and detail without the need for any additional receivers or peripherals. Build a system that's right for you With three digital inputs, speaker outputs, plus line-level out for a powered sub, the Dia can work in a number of different setups. For example, you can connect it to the optical digital output on almost any HDTV, satellite receiver, or set-top box, then add a pair of bookshelf speakers and a powered sub to create a space-saving 2.1 home theater system. Or, plug in your Apple TV® and enjoy high-quality music streaming from your Wi-Fi® connected computer or iPod. You can even use it to simply hook up a CD/DVD player and your favorite speakers for a sweet-sounding stereo system. The included wireless remote lets you adjust volume and switch sources from the comfort of your easy chair.

Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Zak Billmeier Staff Writer - Creative, Refreshingly simple, and great at what it does Written by Zak Billmeier, Staff Writer - Creative, on 9/4/2013 11:02:00 AM I've always preferred single-use devices over the "Swiss army knife" approach — my feeling is that if a tool is meant for one purpose, it'll do it better than it would if it has to perform several different tasks. The NuForce Dia is one such device. I have the Dia running my TV sound with a pair of Audioengine P4 bookshelf speakers. Those are 4-ohm speakers, and the Dia pumps 24 watts RMS through them. Doesn't sound like much, but in my 12x16' room I don't think I've turned up the amp past halfway while watching anything. I sit about 8 feet from my TV and I can hear everything loud & clear. The Dia is plenty loud enough through the P4 speakers. When I first got it, I played some music through my Google TV and cranked it as loud as I could stand. Not only did I hear zero distortion, but I had the amp on (maybe) 2/3 power and it was louder than I'll ever use it. That tells me NuForce isn't fudging that spec to sound impressive. Again, it's plenty loud for my living room. The other thing that attracted me to the Dia was its built-in DAC. I noticed its effect right away when watching "Arrested Development" on Netflix — I heard some percussive details in the theme song I hadn't heard before. Thanks to the DAC, bass response has improved. I wouldn't say the bass is all that much louder, but the quality of it is so much better. I will add a powered sub to my configuration in the near future, and I can't wait to hear it now that the Dia is giving it such nice definition. Movie and TV speech is clean and clear, and soundtracks really come to life. The benefit to having the DAC built in is subtle, but very nice. One thing to note: the 1/8" jack on the front is not a headphone jack, but an output for a powered sub. So this isn't the answer to your headphone amp needs. But it's great at amplifying — and improving — any signal you throw at it. Throw in the fact that the Dia takes up so little space, and it's a huge winner in my book.

I've had this about a month and all I can say is that this little amp is AMAZING. Great onboard DAC (for the price), super-small footprint, and despite being only about 15W/channel it packs a lot of power. Since its got the DAC onboard, the signal coming in is nice and hot. Haven't tried the sub-out yet, but just hooked up to my Polk Audio TSi100's it is a great, clean sounding amp with great frequency coverage. Perfect for an office or small living room. I've got it hooked up to an airport express so I can air-play music to it from both my iPhone and computer, but would make a good stereo music listening station if hooked up to blueray or SACD player or the like - also, clean accurate sound for movies if you aren't interested in surround. Since it has 3 optical inputs you can actually hook up a lot to it despite it being so small. Lastly, I'm a graphic designer, and I appreciate the clean, modern look of the unit. Solid construction and great aesthetics. I'm extremely happy with this. Pros: Small Footprint, Clean & strong signal, super simple controls, aesthetically pleasing Cons: Only has optical inputs - this is only barely a con Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 NuForce Written By Robert, Corpus Christi, TX on Wednesday, July 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought the unit on sale - a good start. After letting it sit for 30 minutes (per NuForce), I set this up and connected to a Blu-Ray in the bedroom. It provides a good amount of sound for it's size. I had a pair of Energy bookshelf speakers I wasn't using.The finish - in this case, red - is clean. I would recommend it anyone looking for a small amp for an office or bedroom. Pros: Size and finish. Decent power. Cons: None I've encountered. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Just What I Needed Written By DaneJ, Virginia Beach, VA on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Why more outfits don't make something like this is beyond me. Perfect for what I needed, which was making my TV sound better without a bunch of stuff I don't need. Optical input from a TV on the boat to this unit, couple with a couple of new Infinity speakers and a powered sub. Pros: Small size. Just the features I need. Cons: Must turn on unit separately from TV. Cannot remember volume level. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 NuForce Dia Written By Arlo, San Francisco, CA on Sunday, March 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound, easy to hook up. My only issue is the interface for switching to only headphones- I'd much rather there be a single button or switch; instead you have to use the remote, hold 'input' and hit 'power', then cycle through the inputs twice to get back to what you were on before. I know this unit isn't advertised as a headphone amp but sometimes I need to toggle over, and I wish this was easier. Pros: Sound, small size, clean design, input options. Cons: Annoying procedure to switch to headphone-only output. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 "The Force" Written By Rich, Ewa Beach, HI on Friday, February 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set up, small and unobtrusive yet big sound.

Cons: None 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great partner for Apple TV Written By Brian, Seattle, WA on Thursday, January 03, 2013 I am using this amplifier fed by the optical SPDIF outputs of an Apple TV and a VIZIO television to drive a Cambridge Minx 2.1 speaker system. It was simple to setup and works perfectly for my relatively small space (300-400 sq ft apartment living/dining area). There is plenty of clean power on tap to drive a system like this - the self-powered subwoofer is fed from the 1/8" line out on the front of the Dia. I am confident it would also be enough power for a set of small full-range bookshelf speakers. The Dia switches seamlessly between the digital sources with no glitches or pops, the tiny remote is easy to use and works great. Thanks to NuForce for recognizing the need for this excellent product and making it! Pros: Small sleek design, perfect feature set, quality construction and great sound Cons: nope 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Incredible Written By PeteFitz, Baltimore, MD on Monday, October 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow. Before I got a chance to hear this thing in action, I thought I may have overdone it by spending this much on such a component, thinking I would only need to buy better speakers to put it to use. No dice! I had no idea my Klipsch bookshelf speakers could sound so splendid. Splendid. For the first hour or so of listening, I had a Klipsch Promedia powered subwoofer connected to the line out on the front but soon realized that was completely unnecessary. The Dia makes a bass drum sound like a bass drum, even at the lowest volumes, and it sounds much more pleasant than the sound of a subwoofer trying to sound like a bass drum. I've caught the audiophile bug but don't quite have a gajillion dollars for vacuum tubes and the like so this has proven to be a great buy. Pros: Pulls out the detailed sounds at all freqs. and rendered my subwoofer unnecessary. Solid, sturdy build. Cons: Nada. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Perfect! Written By rww, Los Angeles, CA on Monday, August 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just put the finishing touch on my modest media center in my new apartment: the NuFore Dia. I have it powering an older set of Definitive ProCinema speakers and a Definitive Sub through the Dia's line out -- I haven't heard sound this good out of these puppies in a while! Simple idea: for the user who has the latest tech stuff (ie, apple TV, blu ray, cable, pumped through LCD tv), and not the biggest space to enjoy it with, to get great sound from their digital content. The NuForce is perfect for this. Don't let the 'low' wattage on this amp fool you -- it gets LOUD. And clean. Simplicity at its best. Simply put, if you know you need good stereo sound, and don't want the size and extraneous speaker outs (and probable lower quality amplification) of the X.1 monster home theater receiver, this is your buy! Pros: small footprint, simple set up and operation, amazing sound quality, great design Cons: uses own remote, but it's so simple that i can't fault it. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
