Two COs Memorialized
Lori Kasson, surrounded by her parents and sons, Jermey and Dale,
is presented the flag that draped her husband's casket during grave
side services at the Evergreen Cemetery in Tucson.
Florence Corrections Officers laid to rest with full military honors
The Arizona Department
of Corrections is mourn-ing
the loss of two Cor-rections
Officers who lost
their lives while serving
in Iraq and Afghanistan.
CO II Darrell Kasson, a
staff sergeant in the Arizona
Army National Guard, died
on March 4 from wounds
he received when a road-side
bomb exploded near
his HumVee while he was
driving in a convoy near
Bayji, Iraq. CO II Charles
Browning was killed in ac-tion
on June 1 in Mehtar
Lam, Afghanistan by an im-provised
explosive device.
Darrell Kasson is sur-vived
by his wife Lori,
their three children, Lisa,
Jeremy and Dale. He had
been with the Department
of Corrections for 17 years.
He also served in the Ari-zona
Army National Guard
for 20 years. He was set to
retire in October, but didn't
hesitate when he was called
to active duty last August.
The 43-year-old Kas-son
continued working as a
Corrections Officer until the
day he was deployed with
259th Engineer Company,
based in Phoenix. He was
sent to Iraq in November
2006 with the Alpha Bat-tery,
2-180th Field Artillery
Battalion. Kasson, who
had volunteered to ride in
the first vehicle in the con-voy,
despite knowing the
dangers of such a position,
is the first solider at ADC
killed in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Over 500 family, friends
and coworkers packed the
Florence High School gym-nasium,
where a memorial
service was held on March
15. Also in attendance were
Governor Janet Napolitano
and Department of Correc-tions
Director Dora Schriro.
During the service, Gover-nor
Napolitano called Kas-son
a hero and talked about
how the soldiers in Kas-son's
unit, who she saw just
two days after his death dur-ing
her visit in Iraq, nick-named
Kasson "Preacher
man" and "Deacon" for
his strong religious beliefs.
ADC Director Schriro
told those attending the
memorial that Kasson was
a "remarkable man and an
amazing soldier." She said
Kasson had many, many
friends and had made mea-surable
changes happen
during his years with the
Department of Corrections.
She said, "We mourn the
passing of a hero, a devoted
husband, a loving parent, a
patriot." Kasson was laid
to rest on March 16 with
full military honors at Ever-green
Cemetery in Tucson.
Governor Janet Napolitano offers her condolences to the mother of
CO II Charles Browning during services at Evergreen Cemetery.

ADC Mourns Loss Of Two Of its Own
From her desk
Reflecting on the recent deaths of two Arizona Department of Corrections Officers who
were called to active duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
Service, Commitment, Sacrifice
For some, words are only a collection of letters
thrown on a page. For others, words convey our char-acter
and accomplishments. Tragically, it is when we
lose one – and two – of our own that we realize how
very limited our ability is to select the right words to
accurately communicate the grief we feel. This is one
of those times that we struggle to find the words to ex-press
the extraordinary sorrow we feel since two excep-tional
correctional professionals, Arizona Department
of Corrections Officers Darrell Kasson and Charles
Browning, were killed while serving in the Armed
Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan in the past few months.
Every man and woman who dons the uniform of an
Arizona Department of Corrections Officer has cho-sen
a career that embodies the word, Service. These
5,322 among us are exceptional change agents; they
protect Arizona now, and later, under difficult and
sometimes dangerous circumstances managing the
burgeoning population throughout their incarceration
with excellence, pressing them to prepare for release
from the first through the last day of their sentence.
Many of our colleagues in the corrections com-munity
have faced other challenges. About one third
of all ADC officers and over one fourth of the en-tire
ADC workforce are veterans. There are 88
ADC employees currently in the Arizona National
Guard or the Reserve and 72 more on standby wait-ing
for deployment today. They wear our nation's
uniform with pride and selflessly serve our country.
The Arizona Department of Corrections em-ploys
9,538 dedicated men and women across the
state, many of them coming to the field of correc-tions
after a distinguished career in the military.
Arizonans have always responded to our coun-try's
call. The ADC workforce is an exceptional seg-ment
of our state's population with many also serving
in the Army Reserve and Arizona National Guard,
here and overseas. They divide their days, work-ing
in our facilities and the field and training with
the armed forces. Their commitment to country and
the field of corrections keeps us safe, now and later.
Darrell Kasson, aged 43, was killed in Iraq on
March 4 when an IED detonated near his HumVee
in the area of Bayji, Iraq. COII Kasson had been a
valued member of the Department of
Corrections for almost 18 years and
with the Arizona National Guard for
nearly 20 years when he was called up
for active duty last November and then
sent to Iraq. A sergeant in the Arizona
National Guard, Kasson was known by
many as "Deacon" for his strong reli-gious
convictions. He volunteered to ride in the lead
vehicle of a convoy, knowing the inherent danger it
posed. Kasson, who had been married for 25 years,
leaves behind his wife Lori, three children and two
grandchildren and his mother. He was laid to rest with
full military honors at Evergreen Cemetery in Tucson.
Charles Browning, aged 31, was killed in Mehtar Lam,
Afghanistan from wounds he sustained from an IED
that detonated when he disembarked his vehicle. After
serving a term in the Army, he contin-ued
his commitment as a member of
the Arizona Army National Guard.
He joined the Arizona Department of
Corrections in January 2004, working
about 10 months at the Special Man-agement
Unit, ASPC-Eyman, before
he was called to active duty in Iraq. He completed a
year of military service overseas and then returned to
the ADC in 2006 for about a year before volunteering
for a second tour of duty with the 158th Battalion last
March. The Battalion provides security for coalition and
American forces in the eastern portion of Afghanistan.
Sergeant Browning is survived by his wife Lisa, two
stepdaughters, and his mother. He was laid to rest with
full military honors at Evergreen Cemetery in Tucson.
All of us celebrates the lives and mourns the
passing of Darrell Kasson and Charles Brown-ing.
We honor their service, commitment and sac-rifice
and extend heartfelt condolences to their
families and many, many friends and co-workers.
www.2 azcorrections.gov Summer, 2007
Charles Browning volunteered
for Operation Enduring Freedom in
Afghanistan in March and was as-signed
to Company B, 1st Battalion,
158th Infantry Regiment. This was
his second tour of duty in the Middle
East in less than a year. Browning
joined the ADC in January 2004,
the same year he signed up with the
Arizona Army National Guard and
10 months later, began a 15-month
mission in support of the war in Iraq.
Upon his return to Arizona, he spent
10 months at ASPC-Eyman before
volunteering to go overseas again.
Browning is survived by his wife
Lisa and two stepdaughters, Jessica
and Briana, his mother, brother
and sister. On June 14, 500 friends,
family and co-workers braved the
100 degree heat to attend the fu-neral
services at Evergreen Cem-etery
in Tucson. Governor Janet
Napolitano and ADC Director
Dora Schriro were in attendance.
The 31-year-old Browning was
remembered as a devoted hus-band,
father and Corrections Offi-cer.
Several fellow soldiers offered
their thoughts about Browning,
remembering him as a "commit-ted
soldier" who could always be
counted on in good times and bad.
He was respected by the enlisted
men and officers and was posthu-mously
promoted to Staff Sergeant.
Even though Browning had
already served one tour of duty
overseas, he felt that more needed
to be done and that is why he vol-unteered
for a second tour so soon
after returning in 2006. He be-lieved
that by fighting terrorists on
foreign soil, he was keeping the U.S.
safe from further terrorist's attacks.
Darrell Kasson and Charles
Browning are our heroes. The
ADC celebrates their lives and
mourns their loss. They died
defending our country and we
honor their ultimate sacrifice.

Around Arizona
April 25th was set aside to recognize the
exceptional cadre of professionals who work for
the Arizona Department of Corrections. The
noontime event took place at Wesley Bolin Plaza.
Employees draped with beads enjoyed
burgers and hot dogs. Director Dora Schriro
handed out door prizes and Deputy Director
Steven Ickes helped judge employee desserts.
The DOC K-9 unit showed off their drug
detection and tracking skills and employees even
volunteered to take a dive in the dunk tank to
raise money for the employee recognition fund.
Nearly two dozen inmates at ASPC-Douglas are
getting ready for life after prison by training to work as
firefighters. The training offered by Cochise County
Community College helps fit the bill for the Arizona
Department of Correc-tions
programs to reduce
recidivism by enrolling
inmates in work based
education programs.
The Fire Science pro-gram
is comprised of 10
college level courses, and
includes hands on train-ing
in the use of vari-ous
firefighting equip-ment.
Completion of
the six month program
can earn inmates Lead
Firefighters and Fire
Leadership certificates.
Sabine Ludwig, Fire and Safety Officer with the
Arizona Department of Corrections says the program
benefits both the students and the prison. The inmates
get college level training in the firefighting sciences and
have the potential to serve on the inmate fire crews which
responds to emergencies within the prison complex.
In April, ASPC-Eyman handed out the first quarter
General Equivalency Diploma certificates to Arizona
state inmates. Deputy Warden Richard Bock awarded
the certificates to 30 inmates from the Meadows unit,
telling them what they could not accomplish outside
the prison walls, they've managed to accomplish inside.
Inmates within the Arizona Department of
Corrections account for almost a third of all
GED certificates awarded in Arizona each year.
The May Quarterly Awards Ceremony at ASPC-Lewis
was a big success. The event was held at the Buck-ley
ACI building with over 250 staff members present.
Acting Barchey Deputy Warden Anne Reeder
emceed the ceremony that had an Asian theme.
Canteen staff under the direction of Manager Raul
Perez, provided excellent fine Chinese dining and
many staff members were honored for their out-standing
service to the Department of Corrections.
CO II Tyrone Abocrombie honed his wrestling
skills for the upcoming 2008 Olympics by winning two
events in the US Championship Games in Las Vegas.
He competed in two heavyweight events, de-feating
all comers in the Freestyle and Greco Ro-man
Wrestling and won gold plaques in both arenas.
COII Abocrombie spends his off duty hours
getting ready to try out for a spot on the U.S.
Olympic Wrestling Team, which will be going
to next year's Olympic games in Beijing, China.
The Arizona Department of Corrections was aptly
represented in April during the Arizona Police and
Fire Games, held in Scottsdale. CO III Kris McLean,
ASPC-Phoenix/Globe Unit, defended her Women's Cy-cling
Triple Crown, winning three medals in the event.
McLean received Gold medals in both the 48 mile road
race and 8.5 mile Time Trial, finishing first in her age
group and first female overall in both road bike events.
McLean's time in the road race was two hours-
40 minutes and 40 seconds and 33-minutes-40
seconds in the Time Trial. She also was award-ed
a Silver medal in the 16-mile mountain bike
competition, finishing in second place with a
time of two-hours-18 minutes and 51 seconds.
Since January, inmates at ASPC-Winslow have
been making donations to the Catholic Charities
foster care program. Every month, the inmates have
donated over $1,000.00 to help the local children in
foster care. Catholic Charities has expressed their
thanks for the support and contributions and congrat-ulates
the inmates for their hard work and dedication.
ASPC-Florence inmates taking classes to be cer-tified
as firefighters when they get out of prison got
some real life experience to practice what they'd
learned. OSC III Rick Baker says on March 6,

Witness Victim Memorial Garden
The city of Safford and the Arizona Department of Cor-rections
completed another joint project over Memorial
Day weekend, placing a plaque in the Victim/Witness
Memorial Garden on the Safford City Hall. The flowers
and curbing around the memorial, as well as the plaque,
were prepared by Department of Corrections inmates.

took a 12-man crew that only two days ear-lier
had been studying wildland fires, to investigate.
About two miles west of the Picacho Unit, they
found a field on fire and using training they had learned
in class, the inmates cut a line in front of the fire. They
then set a "backburn fire" to head off the flames from
spreading to some nearby mobile homes. After about
two hours of "mop up", the fire was declared extin-guished
and the crew returned to the Picacho Unit. No
one was injured and there was no damage to equipment.

ADC celebrates Asian Pacific Heritage Month
Department hosts award ceremony to honor contributions of Asian Pacific employees
The Arizona Department of Corrections honored Asian Pacific American employees for
their achievements and contributions during nationwide Asian Pacific Heritage Month
in Arizona this May. This year's event, which took place at the Valley Garden Center
in Phoenix, included a presentation of awards to outstanding Asian Pacific American
employees of the ADC who have demonstrated significant leadership to and service to
the department and their communities. During the event, students of the Asian Arts
Center in Phoenix demonstrated Kenbu, a dance performed to traditional Japanese
song with a sword or a fan. The Asian Arts Center is the only school in the country
which teaches this form of dance based on famous Japanese battles, legends and folklore.
ADC employees of Asian or Pacific Islander heritage comprise 1.5 percent
of the department's workforce and are represented in most occupational
areas including administrators, the CO series and administrative support.
In the State of Arizona they are the fastest-growing racial group. This year's
theme, "Pursuing Excellence Through Leadership, Diversity and Unity",
acknowledges the many nations groups that Asian Pacific Americans represent.
Director Dora Schriro recognizes the contributions made by Asian Pacific employees
to the department. Noting the rich cultural diversity of the Asian and Pacific employees
at this year's event, she distributed "Dudley Do-Right" awards to ADC employees of
Asian Pacific descent who had been singled out by their peers for "doing the right thing."
Lien Chiu
ASPC-Winslow/Program Services
Since her assignment to the
position of Lead Dentist
at ASPC-Winslow
in June 2006, Dr.
Chiu has taken
hold of the dental
needs of the
inmate population
and balanced them
with the operational
needs of the prison complex. She
provides routine and emergency
dental care for 15-20 inmates each
day including fillings, extractions,
cleanings, making dentures, partials,
and impressions, an impressive
number by industry standards.
Dr. Chiu also oversees the fabrication
of dental impressions. ADC presents
its share of challenges – most recently
the impact of methamphetamine
abuse, which require specialized
treatment. As the lead dentist she
also serves on the health services
management team and participates
in the quality review committee.
Dr. Chiu has family in Hong
Kong as well as California where
she left a fast-paced dental practice
in Los Angeles for 15 plus years to
live in small-town Arizona. Since her
arrival in Winslow, she has immersed
herself in Northern Arizona's Native
American culture and is known as
a person with a great love of the
outdoors and of cooking where she,
too, is known for her native dishes.
Chong Dominy

Central Office Accounting Unit
Chong Dominy i s
a naturalized
citizen born
in Korea, met
her husband,

Germany. Eventually they returned
to the U.S. and settled in Arizona.
Chong joined the Arizona
Department of Corrections in 1998
as an Accounting Technician II and
4 July 2007
was promoted several times over
the next few years before finally
arriving at her current position as
a Fiscal Services Specialist III with
the Accounting Unit. She is now a
section supervisor overseeing four
employees and is responsible for all
inmate health care payments for the

Paz Encinares
Personnel Assistant II
Support Services Division
Paz Encinares
has worked in the
ADC Personnel File
Room since May
1995 where she is
responsible for over
13,000 ADC official
employee personnel
files including those active and
inactive employees. Ms. Encinares is
only one of two staff who maintains
these documents and ensures the
paperwork is filed promptly and
correctly. In large part because of
her efforts, there is no backlog to
getting the documents into the
personnel files - - an impressive feat.
In 2000, Ms. Encinares was asked
to learn how to archive personnel
records. At the time, personnel files
would be archived when someone
"got around to it." She assumed
this responsibility and learned it
with very little assistance, setting
up the procedure that today
ensures our record archiving is
done according to the states record
archives procedures and timeframes.
Ms. Encinares was born and raised
in the Philippine Republic where
she worked for five years as a high
school teacher and for about 19
years in the records department of
a regional hospital. She immigrated
to the United States in 1994 and
became a U.S. citizen in 2000.
In her off hours, she enjoys
gardening and watching the Phoenix
Suns! Ms. Encinares is married and has
two grandchildren, Cassandra and
Ramy. Her daughter, Maria, works
at ASPC-Phoenix in the records unit.
Samantha Goss
Correctional Records Technician I
Samantha Goss
began her career
in 2002 as a Clerk
I at Central Office,
eventually reaching
her current position
as Correctional Records Technician
I in 2004 when she transferred to
ASPC-Lewis where she gathers and
processes information to ensure that
inmates meet all criteria for release.
Ms. Goss has earned the respect
of her co-workers and supervisors
because of her in-depth knowledge
of policies and procedures pertinent
to the release of inmates. A super
self-starter, she is always ready to
assist and is in frequent contact
with other law enforcement agency
representatives, as well as ADC
staff, keeping everyone informed
of inmates' impending releases.
Ms. Goss also helps to coordinate
ICE releases with other institutions
and communicates with ICE
representatives on a regular basis.
Ms. Goss is a self-described
football mom, faithfully attending
her two sons, Randy and Jonathan,
ball games. When she is not
attending these games, she and her
husband, Paul, are busy caring for
Tiare, their two-year-old daughter.
CO II Maria Gilbert

teacher in Butuan City, Philippines,
when she met Donald
Gilbert, who was
a Peace Corps
volunteer teaching
English as a
second language.
She married
Donald in 1999 and
they left the Philippines
in 2000, eventually settling in Yuma,
Arizona in 2002 when her husband
accepted a teaching position at a
local high school. Maria also worked
as an elementary school teacher in
Yuma until 2004, when she began
her employment with the Arizona
Department of Corrections as a
Correctional Officer at ASPC-Yuma.
COII Gilbert is a valued ADC
employee, receiving the Cheyenne
Unit Employee of the Month Award in
February 2006 for her professionalism
and dedication to duty. Because of
her attention to detail, COII Gilbert has
identified security device deficiencies
that others have missed and always
takes the initiative to complete the
appropriate paperwork to correct
the deficiencies. Also her pat search
procedures have become a standard
by which others are now trained.
COII Gilbert is devoted to her
16-year-old daughter Greta Marie
and in her spare time enjoys reading
and cooking. She is an excellent
and generous cook bringing home-cooked
dishes to potluck dinners.
COII Gilbert continues to volunteer
as a teacher at local schools.

a different path
when she enrolled
in the Correctional Officer Training
Academy and upon graduation, was
assigned to ASPC-Eyman. In April
2005, she was promoted to COIII.
Following her promotion, she
was transferred to the Meadows
Unit, where she has been actively
engaged in coordinating various
inmate charitable events, garnering

became a United
States Citizen in
1992, the same
year she started
working for the
Arizona Department
of Corrections as a Clerk I in the
Florence Offender Information
Unit. In March 1996, she was
promoted to Correctional Records
Supervisor II at ASPC-Tucson.
Genevieve is recognized by
her peers as one of the most
knowledgeable Offender Information
Unit supervisors in the Department,
in part because of the time she
takes to train and mentor other OIU
staff. She has also helped develop
a training program and then trained
other OIU staff and supervisors in
the difficult and exacting process
of the Interstate Agreement on
Detainers Act. Many attribute to
her efforts the exceptional working
relationship that has developed with
the Tucson Immigrations and Custom
Enforcement Agency. She is also
instrumental in ensuring the ASPC-Tucson
Immigration hearing process
runs efficiently and without issues.
Genevieve has participated
in the Law Enforcement Torch
Run since 1997 riding her bike to

"You've Been Caught
Corrections Officers Getting Much Needed Protection
Over 200 staff members includ-ing
Correctional Officers, medi-cal,
education and maintenance
staff at ASPC-Florence are safer
today thanks to a generous dona-tion
by the 100 Club of Arizona.
On March 22, Director Dora
Schriro, Warden Carson McWil-liams
and Central Unit ADW
Yolanda Elliot attended the annual
100 Club Banquet, where they ac-cepted
a check for $42,699.50 for the
purchase of equipment to improve
the safety of Central Unit staff. The
money came from the 100 Club's
Safety Enhancement Stipend Pro-gram
which was created to provide
assistance to public safety agencies,
when other funding is unavailable.
ADW Elliot prepared the re-quest
for the money, citing the need
for more stab vest inserts for Cen-tral
Unit staff, who are required to
wear vests when they have inmate
contact. The money from the 100
Club will be used to purchase in-serts
which cost $395 a pair. War-den
McWilliams, with the ap-proval
of Division Director Sam
Sublett, also purchased material to
make more vests and this has im-proved
the staff 's safety and morale.
This is the largest safety enhance-ment
stipend to be awarded to any
public safety agency in Arizona
since the program began in 2004.
The Central Unit staff sends out a
big "thank you" to the 100 Club.

When Governor Janet Napolitano
put out the call for state agencies
to participate in the statewide
event to help children in need get
ready for the new school year, the
Arizona Department of Corrections
responded. Governor Napolitano
began the annual statewide "Pack

ago and the ADC has consistently
led all other state agencies in
collecting school supplies for
children who would otherwise
not have the necessary materials

to begin the new school year.
The ADC packed a prison
bus and a flatbed truck with supplies
donated by staff and inmates at
ASPC-Perryville, Phoenix and
Lewis, as well as the Central Office
Complex buildings near the Capitol.
ASPC-Perryville inmates donated
$10,195 to be used to purchase
pencils, papers, books, glue sticks
and other school supplies. To date,
staff and inmates have donated over
8,900 school items, including 642
backpacks. ASPC-Lewis inmates
donated $2,461 towards the
purchase of school supplies; together
staff and inmates bought over
3,300 school supplies and ASPC-Phoenix
staff donated 1,308 school
supply items. The Central Office
staff also raised $787 towards the
purchase of 1,040 school supplies.
Inmates at ASPC-Perryville donated over
$10,000 to help fill a flatbed truck with
much needed school supplies
In total, over $13,000 in cash went
towards purchasing 13,291 school
supplies that were brought to the
"Pack to School" July 17th kick-off
at the Executive Tower. The state's
other seven prison complexes have
raised $6,500 in donations and
collected over 6,200 supplies to date.
A final tally of all money and
school supplies donated is expected
to be completed by mid August,
after the school drive is over.

Arizona Governor Janet
Napolitano proclaimed May 6-
12 "Correctional Officer Week".
Wildland Fire Crew CO II's from
each of Arizona's 10 state pris-ons
were selected to represent the
Arizona Department of Correc-tions
and were joined by Director,
Dora Schriro, Division Director
Sam Sublett, and Southern Region
Operations Director David Cluff.
The ADC is proud to have
345 trained responders, includ-ing
45 Correction Officer super-visors
and 300 inmates ready to
respond at any time to wildland
fires. Last year alone, ADC fire
crews responded to 97 fires and
contributed 322,800 hours of fire
fighting and brush clearing last
year alone, saving taxpayers over
$3 million in the 2006 fiscal year.
Since 1985, correctional
officers have been honored dur-ing
the first full week of May.
In Arizona, 5,485 work in pris-on
facilities throughout Ari-zona
helping ensure the safety
for Arizona citizens every day.

These linear earrings in the Windsong Collection capture the quiet strength of a springtime breeze. Crafted in sterling silver, these designs dance and swirl around the soft colors of a meadow in the form of prehnite, charoite, rhodochrosite and kyanite cabochons.
The rhodochrosite in these linear earrings is a love drawing stone and helps release past issues and helps eyesight. Rhodochrosite originates from North and South America. The charoite in these linear earrings ssist in attaining the power of second sight. It is known to bring one's fears into consciousness by giving you a boost of courage and commitment so that they may be confronted and healed. Charoite originates from Siberia.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Diamond Audio D374 by Jo Greene Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. You hit the highway and crank the stereo, but your factory speakers just can't keep up. Diamond Audio designed D3 speakers to deliver strong performance in your car — you'll hear power and impact in your music that makes for a very entertaining ride, even if it's just across town. Removable 1" aluminum tweeters These D374 6"x8" convertible speaker system features sizeable 1" aluminum dome tweeters that give you exceptional clarity — you'll be able to hear sparkling detail in your music, even when the bass gets heavy. You can mount these speakers as 2-ways in your factory openings, or you can remove the tweeters from the woofers and mount them in a spot that'll create the best soundstage in your ride. Mineral fortified cone Diamond Audio uses injection-molding to create a light, stiff graphite copolymer cone that offers consistent strength. A butyl rubber surround secures the woofer for linear cone movement, so you can count on strong, accurate performance. External crossovers send the right frequencies to the woofer and tweeter, so vocals and instruments sound well-defined and natural. The Rear Fill outputs on the crossover networks allow you to tie in a pair of rear speakers without affecting impedance. Non-resonant frame resists distortion Diamond uses a unique energy-absorbent ABS composite frame that resists unwanted resonance better than steel or aluminum, so your favorite music sounds just as the artist intended.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Woofers: The Diamond Audio D374 convertible component system includes 5"x7" woofers with graphite injected molded copolymer cones. This design results in uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. It also has a low weight to rigidity ratio for decreased distortion and improved bass response. The speakers are shipped with the tweeters coaxially mounted to the woofers, but they can be removed and mounted separately, as a component set. When the tweeters are removed the woofer's mounting height decreases to 0.32" (if bottom mounted the tweeter protrusion decreases to 0.062"). Magnet Cover: The speakers are shipped with rubber magnet covers installed. If needed, the covers can be removed, effectively making the magnet diameter approximately 1/4" smaller. Tweeters: Each speaker uses a Ferro fluid cooled 1" aluminum dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet. When coaxially mounted the tweeters are angled and swivel so you can direct them toward the listening positions. Mounting Options: When removed from the woofers, the tweeters can be surface mounted or flush mounted using the included housings. Tweeter Dimensions: Frame Diameter Cutout Diameter Mounting Height Mounting Depth Flush Mount 2.0" 1.74" 0.43" 0.24" Angled Surface Mount 1.7" N/A 1.0" Screw Depth Crossover: Tweeter Output: The crossovers offer two tweeter output level settings, selectable via an internal jumper: flat and -2 dB. RAF: In addition to the woofer and tweeter outputs, each crossover has a third output for a Rear Acoustic Fill (RAF) speaker. The RAF speakers are powered by the same 2-channel amp as the component set and are apportioned 15%-20% of the total power. The RAF output is full range. Barrier Strips: Each crossover's connections are screw terminals that will accommodate spade connectors up to 0.375" wide. Dimensions: The crossover has the following dimensions: Width: 4.73" Height: 1.35" Depth: 3.55" Connection Note: The component system comes with no speaker wire (other than the 7" length attached to each tweeter).

Written By mark, Montreal, Qc on Sunday, September 02, 2012 The sound was fantastic at first but after they break-in the sound became epic! I use two sets and I don't think there is a better sounding Mustang for less $. The thing with Diamond is that they make power hungry speakers, they say 60w rms but I say at least 100w rms but they must be gently broke-in . Don't think about powering these with your head unit. If you don't use amps; I recommend you stay away. Pros: Unbeatable for the price. Cons: Not for everyone. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The Crutchfield website says these don't fit, but they fit just fine. I tried them first as a coaxial--there were barely any highs noticeable. After I installed the external crossover and mounted them as separates, they sounded a lot better--but still no better than my factory speakers. I had high hopes for these, but I didn't see the point in spending this much for speakers that didn't sound any better than my factory coaxials (Shaker 500 system). YMMV... Pros: The price was good. Cons: Sound quality. The build quality was OK, but not stellar. 2 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The visor is made of a terry fabric and the crown displays an embroidered beach view and O'Neill logo. So go ahead and leave those sunglasses at home — you'll still be able to see all the hunks with this visor on!

Seems like it does for me.....lol
I'm not superstitious about bow brand at all. I've only really owned one other manufacturer's bow though, beside's a Martin and shot quite a few deer with that bow too.
It's the hat that makes the difference in luck. You have to find a lucky hat!!!
I've only left Martin twice and found myself switching back within a month I just shoot them very well and more consistent then other brands I've shot my chill brought me my best indoor round to date but also my worst. And my indoor average is lower with my chill then my martins not superstitious, just comfortable with the brand
Martin x-200 unsure of year

For my two cents though, I agree with Mike that its the hat that brings luck!

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 9, 2012)—Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and jockey Martin Garcia teamed for their second stakes win in as many days when Doinghardtimeagain won the $196,000 Soviet Problem (video) Sunday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
A little more than 24 hours after the combination took the Grade II, $200,000 Bayakoa Stakes with Lady of Fifty, Garcia and Hollendorfer struck again for another come-from-behind victory.
Well positioned early behind a quick pace in the inaugural running of the Soviet Problem, a Golden State series race for 2-year-old California bred or sired fillies, Doinghardtimeagain moved up four wide to engage the leaders approaching the stretch before asserting her superiority in the final sixteenth.
Prompt as the 3-5 favorite against state bred maidens in her Cushion Track debut Nov. 9, the daughter of Ministers Wild Cat and the Conquistador Cielo mare Silver Hawk Lady covered the seven furlongs Sunday in 1:23.93. The margin of victory was 2 ¼ lengths.
No worse than second in four starts for owner-breeder Tommy Town Thoroughbreds LLC, Doinghardtimeagain has earned $198,500. The 6-1 third choice in a field of eight – reduced by the scratch of Tribal Custom – the dark bay paid $15.80, $6.20 and $5.
"The race came up exactly how I thought it would,'' said Garcia. "There were a few speed horses and I wanted to lay on the outside where she could be really comfortable.
"I just let her pick it up on her own. The only thing I didn't want to do was move too soon. When I asked her, she just left everybody.''
Hollendorfer indicated Doinghardtimeagain will stretch to one mile in the filly division of the $300,000 California Breeders' Champion Stakes Jan. 26 at Santa Anita.
Unusual Way, who had won consecutive stakes, including the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Filly Sprint Preview Nov. 3 at Santa Anita, for trainer Jeff Bonde, disposed of 7-10 favorite Home Journey, who wound up last, and Tilde, but was no match for the winner late.
The daughter of Unusual Heat returned $4 and $3 while finishing 4 ¼ lengths in front of Awe Golly Molly, the longest shot in the race at 69-1. The show price on Awe Golly Molly, who edged Tilde by a head, was $12.60.
Perfect in two prior starts, Home Journey made the lead through a rapid 21.98 opening quarter, remained one length clear through a 45.57 half, but faded quickly after being headed at the top of the stretch. She was virtually eased by jockey Aaron Gryder in the final eighth of a mile.
"She seems to be OK,'' said Gryder. "I don't know what it was – maybe they'll see something at the barn (of trainer Mike Puype). It's just not like her. She's been training unbelievable. She cleared and was relaxed.
"She's the kind of filly that when you get near her she wants to put her head in front, but there was no resistance today.''
The final week of the Autumn meet begins Thursday. Post time is 12:30 p.m. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 10 a.m. for simulcasts.
The Hollywood Park Casino will be open for dark day simulcasts Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Admission is free and simulcasts begin at approximately 10:15 a.m.

Hey, I'm Abby from Sew Much Ado, and I'm so thrilled to be a part of U-Create today. Kari is really the Oprah of blog land, and I actually think this is even better than being on Oprah because I can do it all in my pjs (which makes me wonder why I'm not in them right now). I love to share tutorials and projects at Sew Much Ado, and I'm especially excited to share one with you today!
What are we making? Hopefully the picture gave you a clue :), but if not: a 4-In-1 reversible toddler bucket hat for non-commital types like me (I should clarify that I'm happily married, the non-commital part is just for everything else in my life)! The pattern is sized 2T/3T, or approximate head circumference of 19".
Okay, let's get to work on our 4-In-1 Bucket Hat...
1/4 yd main fabric
1/4 yd co-ordinating fabric for reverse side of hat
optional: 1/2 yd fusible interfacing if your fabric is lightweight or you want extra stiffness in your hat (1/4 yd needed if interfacing only one side of hat)
Heat n Bond scraps
Pattern pieces - ensure that your printer is not set to scale the document larger or smaller before you print :).
Click here to download the pattern pieces for the hat.
Note: All seam allowances are 1/2".
1. Cut out fabrics and interfacing (optional) as marked on pattern pieces. When cutting interfacing, cut pieces 1/2" smaller on all sides of pattern pieces.
2. If using interfacing, iron to wrong side of corresponding fabric pieces. For the hat pictured, I chose to interface only one side of the reversible hat (which means I only cut 2 of each piece out of interfacing instead of 4 as marked on the pattern pieces).
4. Right sides together, pin and stitch band pieces of main fabric together at sides, matching raw edges. Press seams open.
5. Clip top of hat band every 3/4". Make sure that your cuts are less than 1/2" long.
6. Right sides together, pin top edge of band to main fabric crown piece, matching raw edges. To mark the crown piece into quarters before pinning, I like to "finger press" it by folding it in half and then in half again and giving it a good pinch. It saves time and my home-ec teacher in high school even taught me it so it's totally legit :).
7. Stitch pinned band to crown, stretching the clipped edge to match the curved crown edge as you go. Press seam toward center of crown and turn hat right side out.
8. Right sides together, pin and stitch brim pieces of main fabric together at sides, matching raw edges. Press seams open.
9. Clip top edge of brim every 1". Make sure that your cuts are less than 1/2" long.
9. Right sides together, pin and stitch top of brim to bottom of band, matching raw edges. Press seam open.
10. Assemble reverse side of hat by repeating steps 3-9 with co-ordinating fabric.
11. Right sides together, pin two sides of hat together at bottom rim, matching side seams and raw edges. Stitch pieces together at pinned edge, leaving a 4" gap for turning the hat right side out.
12. Turn hat right side out, placing one side of hat inside the other. Press bottom edge of brim flat, pressing raw edge of opening under 1/2". Topstitch near bottom pressed edge around entire brim and again 1/4" from edge. If you like, you can continue topstitching parallel rows 1/4" apart to the top of the brim.
...Or should I say hats?!

This Physics Professor Played College Football
UNL Physics Professor Tim Gay will give a football lecture on April 5.
Free Lecture April 5 on Physics, Football
Website Brings Physics to Everyday Life
Ruud Awakening Video Good Will Punting
By Randy York
Nebraska football's Spring Game is Saturday, April 6, and fans seeking a one-day jump on all the hoopla should consider attending a free Friday, April 5 noon-hour lecture in Memorial Stadium's West Stadium Club. The title in this Chancellor's Distinguished Lecture Series is Football: Its Physics and Future. The man who will be giving it, in his uniquely entertaining/educational style, will be Dr. Timothy Gay, a physics professor in UNL's Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Rarely does the N-Sider guarantee a public lecture, but this is an exception for two reasons: 1) Most astute Nebraska football fans are already Tim Gay fans because he narrated a series of quick-hitting videos produced by HuskerVision beginning in 1999, and those one-minute lessons became one of the most popular big-screen features inside the stadium; and 2) Don't let Dr. Gay's bow tie, button-down shirt and sport jacket fool you. He's a master at making dramatic points that teach valuable lessons. He's so good you can't help but shake your head and wonder why your high school physics teacher couldn't cut to the quick like he does.
Actually, there's more to my endorsement of this unusual opportunity the day before we check out Bo Pelini's revamped defense designed to complement one of college football's most explosive offenses this fall. Gay knows how to entice a general audience just as well as speak to one. Free pizza will be served to those who attend the 11:45 a.m. reception while supplies last (the lecture begins at 12:15 p.m.). Here's the real kicker – this may be one of the few physics professors anywhere that actually played college football, let alone competed for a team once featured in a national publication.
There's a bit of jest there, but it's true. A Wall Street Journal reporter wrote a story contrasting the difference between high-end football recruiting at Ohio State to low-end walk-ons who participated at Caltech, Gay's alma mater and one of the nation's top 10 colleges and universities. The Wall Street Journal compared Caltech – which no longer has a football program – to intramurals on most major campuses. "Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, I signed to play for Tech," Gay said, "and surprisingly, I had a great time playing, even though we lost almost all our games. It was a great experience."
Colleagues Agreed: Tim Gay is Your Man!
And "it" became the touch point for HuskerVision recruiting a physics professor to shed some academic light on Nebraska's most physical sport. Gay will never forget how an athletic department director came to his department one day asking a simple question: Is there any professor who loves football and can be a shameless self-promoter, so he can help Husker fans learn something on game day? "I think everyone in our office stood up and said: 'Tim Gay is your man!'"
As a teacher, Gay engaged his students to make sure they could relate his best points to something they were already interested in. At Nebraska, football seemed to fit the bill. That's why Gay's lecture will discuss the history of American football and the physics of the large forces that occur on the field and the inherent dangers. He will talk about attempts to ban football as early as 1900 and how the sport's current climate could lead to changes in the game.
That takes us to the timely role Nebraska will play in possible changes in football and how such modifications might relate to UNL's national research efforts to understand and mitigate injuries. "Nebraska is unique in forward-thinking research in this area," Gay said. "Exciting times are happening here that will make an impact on the future of the sport."
Gay has asked HuskerVision for two videos to use in his April 5 lecture – Kenny Bell's big hit block on Wisconsin defensive back Devin Smith in the 2012 Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis and John Ruud's layout hit of Oklahoma's Kelly Phelps on the second-half kickoff return in NU's 1978 17-14 upset of the No. 1 Sooners in Lincoln. Bell received a penalty flag that did not meet the requirements of an illegal hit, and Phelps' fumble on Ruud's smash-mouth hit was incorrectly ruled dead instead of a Nebraska recovery.
Upbeat Style Made Science Understandable
Someone once told Gay that colleagues would take him less seriously as a researcher if he popularized the science of football. "I strongly disagree with that viewpoint," Gay said, and his career reinforces that point. He is, by all accounts, an excellent researcher and teacher. He is also well-positioned to explain the physics of football to a broader audience than just Big Red fans, who relish his upbeat presentations because they make science understandable to a lay audience.
Make sure you park early and check into the West Stadium by 11:45 a.m. on April 5. Pizza's the perfect food for a football-related physics lecture, and here's the best news of all: If you can't make the lecture live, you are not out of luck. A live webcast (12:15 p.m. CDT) is available at go.unl.edu/nl-timgay. An archived video will be available for viewing within a week after the event. GBR!
