Steele, Wildcats keep season alive
By Tommy Keeler Jr.
FRONT ROYAL -- With the season on the line, Blake Steele didn't want it to end. The Warren County junior and his teammates made sure the Wildcats have at least one more game.
Steele scored all but two of his team's fourth quarter points to give Warren County a 56-47 Evergreen District boys basketball victory on Saturday. With the win the Wildcats will be the No. 4 seed in this week's district tournament and play at top-seeded Kettle Run on Wednesday.
"The seniors -- as well as me and, I'm sure, the rest of the team -- we don't want this to end," Steele said. "For some of us this is our life. I don't know what some of us would do without it.
"To go out and communicate with [my teammates] and get a big win to go to districts was nice."
The game was the regular season finale for both teams, and they finished tied for fourth place. However, Warren County had the tiebreaker over the Tigers. The Evergreen District does not have a play-in game for their tournament.
It was a game of runs, although the Wildcats trailed only once the entire game, which was late in the first quarter.
Warren County (7-14, 1-7 Evergreen) used a 19-7 run to build a 33-20 lead with 1;20 left in the first half. Steele had 11 points during the run.
The Tigers (2-18, 1-7 Evergreen) came right back, finishing the first half by scoring the last seven points to cut the deficit to six.
Brentsville continued the 15-4 in the third quarter, and cut the lead to 35-33 with 3:52 left in the frame.
The Wildcats stormed back with a 15-2 spurt to take control of the game again and take a 52-37 lead with 5:19 remaining.
"Basketball is a game of runs," Steele said. "We had our times where we were down on a run, and then you gotta just keep fighting back as a team to get back on top and win."
Steele, who finished with 21 points, made a key play on the defensive end to help seal the win. He blocked a shot on a drive to the basket by Brentsville's Tyler Cherry with 1:04 remaining.
"I had four fouls but down low sometimes you got to take one for the team," Steele said. "So, it was either let them get an easy layup, and they would only be down by three, or get the foul and be out. I have complete confidence in my team finishing out the game. I figured why not.
"If I get it clean then it is our ball, and we're going back down and taking more time off the clock, so they don't have the opportunity to score."
Steele then hit four free throws in the last 24 seconds to finish it off.
Brentsville was led by Cherry with 14 points, while Alec Pfleckl added 11.
Steele also had seven rebounds and three blocks, and Matt Nicholson had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Joey Catalani also scored seven points, including the first five of the game for Warren County.
Warren County coach Vernon Mathews said he was pleased with how the team played.
"Keys to the game today, I thought, was we had to win the battle of the boards and play good defense," Mathews said. "We did both of those.
"I was happy for the seniors -- on senior night. If we lose, our season's done."

Psalm 139:14-16
14 I will praise You
because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful,
and I know this very well.
15 My bones were not hidden from You
when I was made in secret,
when I was formed in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw me when I was formless;
all my days were written in Your book and planned
before a single one of them began.

Security Firm Reveals Microsoft's "Silent" Patches
timothy posted more than 4 years ago | from the when-md5-sums-won't-help dept.84
CWmike writes "Microsoft silently patched three vulnerabilities last month, two of them affecting enterprise mission-critical Exchange mail servers, without calling out the bugs in the accompanying advisories, a security expert said on Thursday. Two of the three unannounced vulnerabilities, and the most serious of the trio, were packaged with MS10-024, an update to Exchange and Windows SMTP Service that Microsoft issued April 13 and tagged as 'important,' its second-highest threat ranking. Ivan Arce, CTO of Core Security Technologies, said Microsoft patched the bugs, but failed to disclose that it had done so — which could pose a problem. 'They're more important than the [two vulnerabilities] that Microsoft did disclose,' said Arce. 'That means [system] administrators may end up making the wrong decisions about applying the update. They need that information to assess the risk.'""Secret patches are neither new or rare. 'This has been going on for many years and the action in and of itself is not a huge conspiracy," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Security. What is unusual is that Core took Microsoft's silent updates public. Saying that Microsoft 'misrepresented' and 'underestimated' the criticality of MS10-024 because it didn't reveal the two bugs, Core urged company administrators to 'consider re-assessing patch deployment priorities.' Microsoft confirmed this instance and defends the practice, noting that updates can "be destructive to customer environments." But Storms echoed Arce's concern about possible misuse of the practice, which could result in a false sense of security among users."

C++ is a programming language that supports multiple paradigms-
classes, overloaded functions, templates, modules, procedural
programming, and more. Despite the language's flexibility and richness,
however, there has previously been little effort to create a design
method that supports the use of multiple paradigms within a single
This book presents a coherent framework for approaching multi-paradigm design, offering an advanced set of design practices that form the foundation for a formal multi-paradigm design method.
Multi-Paradigm Design for C++ offers insight into an analysis and design process that takes advantage of C++'s multiple paradigm capability. It uses understandable notation and readable explanations to help all C++ programmers--not just system architects and designers--combine multiple paradigms in their application development for more effective, efficient, portable, robust, and reusable software.
Readers will gain an understanding of domain engineering methods that support multi-paradigm design. This book reveals how to analyze the application domain, using principles of commonality and variation, to define subdomains according to the most appropriate paradigm for each. Multi-paradigm design digs deeper than any single technology or technique to address fundamental questions of software abstraction and design.
All of the concepts and techniques that form the groundwork for domain engineering are presented. These concepts include an in-depth look at commonality and variability analysis, how domain engineering interacts with commonly used design patterns, how to find abstractions in the application domain, and how the principles of domain engineering can be used as a basis for the abstraction techniques of the object paradigm. Most important, this book discusses how to apply analysis techniques that are the most appropriate paradigm to be implemented during the design phase.

I have noticed since I began weight training that veins buldge on my hands and arms the day after I workout. I am 5'&6″ and weigh about 118 lbs. Is there any remedy or way to avoid this?
Thank you,
kirsty castles
i am trying to loose weight and tone up, i am using my fitness pal to record my calories and exersize but am unsure how i count the weights, i am using 400grams at the miniute in each hand but do i say its 400grams or 800grams that i am lifting lol, please help!!! thank you.
http://www.theartofweightlifting.com TaylorR
Do whatever works best for you. When i keep track I write down if it's barbell or dumbbells. If it's dumbbells then writing the 400 g is fine, for barbell then you would write 800 g down. it's all relative to your own preference.
Jesse S
Hi, I am a 14 1/2 year old, 5′ 2″, 115 pound girl. I really want to loose excess fat and get lean muscles. My legs are really strong since I'm in track but I'd like to be leaner, what exercises can I do to do this? Also, my arms are a bit flabby (especially in the back of my arms, triceps) and I'd love to have abs. What exercises should I do to attain my goals? I eat very healthy but have treats here and there. So if you could give me a list of exercises that would help me attain my goal it would be great! Thank you in advance, and you are such a great inspiration!
http://www.theartofweightlifting.com TaylorR
Hey Jesse, thanks for writing. You're a great healthy weight for your age and your size. If you're a track runner I am sure your coach has some great moves for you to do, and I would hate to go against his/her training for you. I seems like you're very active though which is great. For your arms, push-ups and pull-ups are great moves to help tone up the entire upper body, but again at your age talk to your coach before adding any additional training.
Zara A
Hi Taylor,
I am a 24 year old female from the United Kingdom. I recently viewed a few of your youtube videos which led me to this site. I have been trying to lose weight and tone up for quite some time- however, because of my busy schedule, I don't have the time to join a gym and I am currently using a treadmill and 1 kg dumbells. My current routine is to run for 30mins on average speed (2miles) at least three times a week. I then do some exercises with dumbells to tone my arms. I also have a fitness ball and try to do about 50 sit ups. I am also attempting lunges but I am finding it very difficult, and my knees became very weak. Please could you advise me on how I can try to lose weight and tone up in a fast amount of time using the equipment I have at home.
I look forwards to hearing from you!
http://www.theartofweightlifting.com TaylorR
Hey Zara,
Thanks for writing. Congrats on taking steps to get healthy! That's the first move and I can tell you're motivated. My first piece of advice is to change up your cardio routine. Your body adjust to workouts quite quickly so if you've been doing that same speed for the same length of time you're not having to work as hard any longer. change it up with intervals (walking/running); trying to go faster, or add some more time to your current workouts.
The same goes with your weight training, it's important to really push yourself to make your body react. You can do a lot with what you have but you have to do exercises that use big muscles and you will have to do reps until you feel them.
And last, diet is super important and accounts for around 80% of how you look, so take a look at your diet and see how you might can make it cleaner.
For more help, theartofweightlifting.com has some great workouts, and there are good workouts here on the blog as well.
Good luck!
http://www.outlawfit.com Sarah
I over eat and feel horrible afterwards. Sometimes I throw up. Is there an exercise I can do to not eat so much?
http://www.theartofweightlifting.com TaylorR
Sarah, your comment concerns me. Unfortunately there isn't an exercise to control your appetite though working out in general offten does help to decrease it and cravings. However, with your binge eating and burging I really recommend talking to your doctor. I wish you luck!!
If you were to continue giving advice to Jesse, what would you say are good excersises for creating well defined and strong abs?
http://www.theartofweightlifting.com TaylorR
First off good abs are made not just in the gym but more importantly in the kitchen. If you workout but eat only semi healthy you're not going to see great abs. Just life unfortunately. For a woman to show off defined abs she has to bring her body fat down quite a bit which is best done with a fat burning, total body workout that includes weights and interval training. For core moves there are a ton of great exercises… in fact my youtube channel has a lot of ab exercises:
Hi, I am not overweight just need to tone up. It is my tummy and waist that is my problem. I am in my 50's have had children,. Please help?
PS i walk everywhere and have started using light 3kg weight. Also what is the difference between barbells and dumbbells
http://www.theartofweightlifting.com TaylorR
Hi Lesley, Unfortunately spot reduction isn't possible, however to tone up a strength training regiment is vital. While walking with weights is a great workout, it's not sufficient for toning the body up. Being a beginner, I recommend starting with body weight exercises and starting with a program that is designed for beginners to help you. I recommend checking out my site http://www.fitwomensweekly.com it can definitely help you. It's getting ready to be closed for new registration so def see if it's what you are looking for.
As far as dumbbells and barbells. Dumbbells are weights that you hold one in each hand, so if you were to do let's say bicep curls, you might have a 10 lb weight in each hand. A barbell is a single bar where weighted plates are added to it to make it heavier. So for the curl, your hands would be on the bar and you would have to do them simultaneously to get the weight up.
Hope that clarifies!
Hi Taylor. I've been reading your blog a lot lately and really enjoy it. One question – I see a lot of references to"clean diets" on here. What does that phrase mean exactly?
Thanks very much
http://www.theartofweightlifting.com TaylorR
Thanks for reading! Clean eating simply put is a diet void of processed foods. It's rich in fruits, veggies and lean meats… very low in sugar, processed carbs and pre-made foods. It's the lifestyle I have adopted for the past 6 years, but of course with moderation other items are able to be enjoyed as well. I've written several past blog posts on it that might help.
Here are a few:

Hi, I am almost 16 and I want to gain weight, but I don't know the best way? My BMI is actually a little below what it should be, according to the charts, but I have very, very little muscle mass. I recently read one of your articles on skinny fat, and I'm afraid that if I try to gain too much the wrong way, I will only gain fat and I will only be even more unhealthy. I never really exercise, I get dizzy and winded easily, and I don't think I've been in shape in my entire life. I've tried running before and actually enjoyed it, but I hear that you don't really gain any muscle that way? I don't know what kind of exercise I should be getting to gain muscle and possibly lose a little fat, (I tend to gain weight on my stomach) or how I should even start. Any suggestions? XD I eat healthy (mostly) but I'm so LAZY!
http://www.fitwomensweekly.com TaylorR
Best way to gain wait at your age… of course talk with your doctor. And then it's about eating the right "clean" foods but upping your calories each day. Eating more lean protein and healthy fats (nut butter, nuts, avocado) is the easiest way for the calories to go up. Hanging out on a treadmill will only make it harder to put weight on. Talk with a trainer around you about lifting weights. And not being lazy is good too. Good luck.
I'm 33 years old and just had my first child. She is 9 weeks old. I was in excellent shape before my pregnancy, running 5-6 miles 4-5 times per week and weightlifting 3x per week. I worked out (jogged, elliptical, light lifting) well into my third trimester. Despite this, I gained 60 lbs and lost 25 lbs in the first week post partum. Obviously some of that was fluid. I've lost 10 additional pounds. Im breast feeding and at first the weight seemed to fall off. Now I'm left with 25 lbs to lose and I'm not budging. I'm hungry all the time because of the calories needed for breast feeding. I started a baby and mommy exercise class and plan to go a minimum of 3x per week and am hoping to go daily baby continues to be cooperative. I'm trying to eat healthy but am afraid to actually diet while breast feeding. Any tips on what I can do to lose the weight more quickly in a healthy way for both me and baby? I hate having all this extra weight on!!! Thanks!
http://www.fitwomensweekly.com TaylorR
First off you've made amazing progress for being just 9 weeks out post partum. You're right dieting while breast feeding can be tricky and the big rule is to make sure you're not only eating quality foods but eating enough food. I suggest keeping a daily nutrition diary to make sure your ratio of macros (carbs:fat:protein) is good to go but also to make sure you're eating enough. You could be holding on to weight because you're body is trying to store fat thinking you're not taking in enough calories. The exercise will definitely help too! You'll get there!
Thanks, Taylor! That's an excellent point! I am going to try the nutrition diary and hopefully that will keep me on track
Good morning. I love your site. Thank you for providing such great information. I am in a 90 day challenge at my gym. I am in the women's body fat percentage category. Well we are at day 83 and I am in the top 5 out of 81. My trainer measures my body fat with calipers. I have my final measurement next Tuesday. Is there anything I can do or anything I should not do to be sure I get the best possible results? I am not looking to cheat but want to be sure I get the best possible reading. I am a 43 year old woman. 5'3 and 140lbs. I started at 22.5% and my last measurement was 18.8%. Any last minute tricks I can use to maybe drop a little more in a week? Your advice is sincerely appreciated.
http://www.fitwomensweekly.com TaylorR
Sounds like you're on a great path. To be honest, the hard work is over, the next week just eat extremely clean, cut back on carbs, hydrate like crazy and you've done the best you can!
It is almost February and I am wondering if you have a monthly challenge picked out yet. My friend and I did the January challenge and WHOAA loved it but wow. Hope you do one everything month!!
http://www.fitwomensweekly.com TaylorR
Yes we are going to do another for Feb, it will be announced on Sunday! Make sure to check back for the update!
Totally random thought, my friend told me about this: http://www.fitbit.com/flex
and it sounds super cool to know when I'm sleeping well and when I'm not but I kinda feel like I already know… have you looked at these fitness/sleep tracking bands and what the heck they're good for?

mirror mirror, the student and the master.
This is an interesting statement about the student mirroring the master, because what sets Gabrielle apart from Xena is the killer blow, Gabrielle does not always take it where as Xena does (Please note I'm saying this with regards to seasons 3,4 and 6 but not season 5 as Gabrielle's constant killing without remorse during some of this season felt really out of character to me)

So…the logo, though temporary, is complete. We'll see how long this sticks around. Mommy said I needed one because I had too much work floating around with no logo.
1. Fix my relationship with God.
2. Dean's List.
3. RA success.
4. Get a job (preferably the one that just came up in convo Friday).
5. BSU success.
6. Get a PR internship.
7. Be socially open and available for others.
8. Not wasting time with things and people I can't change.
9. Understand that people make mistakes and that's somehow okay.
10. Schedule time for myself, continue to grow and be happy.
I'm addicted to music. The new stuff, the old stuff; the mainstream, the indie…I love it all. So I'm extra excited to go on another download trip to satisfy my craving.
Gotta get my daily fix!
I'm entirely too close to the edge (metaphorically, of course). Please help me maintain my sanity, keep my faith and stay determined to keep going.
I'm not sure if I have them or not, but I feel like my uncertainty by default means I do.
Case closed?
You know how people say, "The early bird gets the worm," right? Well what about staying awake while others are dreaming? What does that person get? Success or fatigue? Either way, I suppose I'll take my chances…
I've been awake all night.
So I've been neglecting my iPod. I feel like a bad parent. I've downloaded music to iTunes but haven't connected my iPod to update it since I got home from school. wtf?
In my new attitude and mindset to finally be proactive and make moves toward the goals I set for myself, I'm going to go back to the days where music was always at my side.
Step 1 :: Download more new music.
Step 2 :: Update the iPod.
Step 3 :: Make a morning playlist, complete with my favorite "fuck you, pay me" motivational songs.
Step 4 :: Repeat Steps 1 and 2…frequently.
So ordered. ♥

Here in NYC, the snow is coming down hard and we've got weather on the brain. These stunning photos from storm-chaser/photographer Mike Hollingshead remind us that the situation could be a lot more intense, via Jakob Schiller at wired:
Hollingshead has been chasing storms for more than a decade and is self-taught, both in meteorology and photography. He grew up in Nebraska watching storms but really got into it after his first real chase landed him right in front of a tornado in Iowa.
"It's pretty easy to get hooked when that happens," he says.
At the time he was working at a corn milling plant and chased storms after work or on the weekends. Sometimes, if the conditions looked like they might produce, he'd ask for half a day off. Eventually, the job started to wear on him, and the allure of chasing got bigger, so he quit and started chasing storms full time.

School Notes:
York Technical Institute, a technical school in Pennsylvania, is dedicated to providing high-quality career oriented educational programs. With computer training, chef training (culinary arts school), business, medical assistant, and much more. YTI is Pennsylvania's technology school offering hands-on learning, job placement assistance and financial aid assistance for those who qualify. York Technical Institute first opened its doors in 1967. We originally began as the American Institute of Drafting on Richland Avenue in York. Throughout the 1970's, the Drafting Program (now Computer Aided Drafting and Design) flourished. In 1981, the school moved to larger facilities on West King Street. 1984 brought the addition of the Electronics Technology program to YTI, and in 1985 yet another move to the former Springettsbury Township Elementary School on Whiteford Road in East York. These new facilities presented the school with the opportunity to expand program offerings to include Business curricula: Computerized Accounting and Travel/Tourism. Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Technology and Industrial Automation/Robotics Technology were added in 1992 and 1995, respectively. To accommodate YTI's burgeoning student body, the Institute built its own 60,000 square foot facility. York Technical Institute moved into its new home on Williams Road in July 1995. Shortly thereafter, the Business Department expanded with the inclusion of Computer Systems Specialist. In 1998, Motorcycle Technology, and Culinary Arts/ Restaurant Management were added. Pastry Arts was added in 2000. In 2002, YTI met the growing needs of the community by starting a Criminal Justice & First Response program. In 2003, YTI opened a branch campus in Lancaster, PA, which is home to YTI's culinary division, L' École de Cuisine. Also offered at the Lancaster Campus is YTI's new Medical Assistant programs. At YTI, students recieve top-quality training and education in the culinary arts in our industry relevant facilities at the Lancaster, Pennsylvania campus. We are committed to preparing our graduates with the skills, knowledge and passion it takes to become accomplished culinarians.

As careers in science, technology, engineering, and math become more prevalent, community colleges are shifting their focus to meet demand and secure their place in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
A recent study reveals that job applicants with a credential or associate's degree from a community college have slightly better chances of getting a job interview than students who attend a for-profit college or university. Since community colleges are much more budget friendly than for-profit institutions and have much better job placement results, community colleges are a much better option for employment-minded students.
Nearly 52 percent of community college students in the United States begin their freshman year in at least one remedial class. These courses, which help students acquire knowledge and skills they should have acquired in high school, do not count toward their degree requirements. As a result, students are taking longer than ever to obtain their degree, if they obtain one at all.

Once more I must apologise for the dearth of updates. The biggest reason apart from rhe usual RL situations is that comics are no longer a fun hobby anymore. It's become a stressful hobby that feels like work. I used to draw comics just for fun, and just for me. I thought I could recapture that with Laiyu as an illustrated novel with less art involved, but I quickly became obsessed with its perfection early on in development (I'm still going to do that story, but it's going to be delayed; it probably won't begin until '16-'17).
So what can I do to recapture the fun? Well, I think the main reason that caused me to lose the fun to begin with was that I started to believe my work was good enough to publish. And that made me obsess over perfection, which only caused unnecessary stress.
So I believe that in order to find that spark of inspiration and enjoyment, I need to step away and do something that I will not- cannot- publish. So I'm going to do a short graphic novel on my iPad. The art & comic apps I use (Procreate & Strip Design) are incapable of saving work at high enough resolutions for print (eapecially Strip Design, but other comic apps capable of high res don't have as many features). Since I can't publish it, I don't have to worry about getting it 'just right.' Plus the less accurate nature of drawing on an iPad will force me to stay loose plus shrug off certain mistakes.
This will be just for fun, just for me. Oh, I'll still post it, but don't expect my best.
SO what will this comic be about? Well, it's loosely inspired by one of my favourite video game franchises: Harvest Moon. It's about a 16 year-old city girl named Chloe who moves to her aunt's farm for the summer. A light-hearted slice-of-life with some teenage drama thrown in. I'd like to name it 'Rabbit Farm' in Latin, but I'm not sure whether that would be Lepus Firmam, Ager Lepus, or Cuniculus Rus. So, anyone out there who knows Latin, I need a bit of help. I only know un peu de Français; I have no Latin.
Hey all my fellow pokénerds, I'm currently trying to breed a 5-6IV shiny feebas. No luck yet on the shiny front, but after 300+ eggs, I have 9 feebas with 6IVs. All of them are Bold, most are Oblivious (though a couple has Swift Swim) and they have the moves Haze, Captivate, Dragon Pulse, and Hypnosis. If interested in trading for one, please comment below!
Some minor rules:
- I cannot give you a rainbow scale to evolve this feebas, however if you have your own, I am more than willing to have you trade your feebas back to me to evolve it into Milotic, then back to you.
-These feebas come from about 20+ hours of effort, so please trade me something good in return. I like legendaries and shinies, but will consider other pokémon (especially those with good hidden abilities).
-Once we set up a time to trade, please honour your appointment. I understand that emergencies come up, but please let me know ahead of time if you cannot make it.
-I have chat disabled on my game, but if you want to talk while we trade, we can text message over Skype or AIM.
-These are first come, first serve. The first people will their pick of gender and/or ability.
I'm still feeling creatively drained on the comics, but there have been a few positives in Real Life this week. I'm starting to get my itch back for sculpting, and to both get back into practise and cheer myself up, I made some chubby animals. One is the famous Pusheen, the other a bee of my own design. They did succeed in their purpose as I go 'squeeeee!!' whenever I look at them.
The second good thing is that I bought myself a betta fish. I adore fish and used to keep a tropical fish tank but haven't the room or health to maintain one for years. A betta seemed to be a good choice since they are low-maintenance and take up little room. I'm quite thrilled to have a finned friend once more.
Hey guys, a friend of mine from college, Eddy Fettig, is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for a graphic novel named Down Right Fierce, which he describes as: 'A tribute to Street Fighter and the Warrior's Journey; a narrative comic about young adult women coping with the passage of time.'
For the ladies (and men, too!) who read my comics, you might be interested in his work, as he strives hard to create and represent women who are not just strong, but real people dealing with real issues.
While Eddy mostly writes fanfics, this is an original work, and he really needs support for the project. If you can't back up the Kickstarter finacially, it's at least worth expressing interest in the project so he knows there is definitely an audience for it- an audience of gamers who are also feminists.
Be warned, though, that Down Right Fierce is for mature audiences, and contains strong language and adult material.

If you want a cruiser because it attracts attention then the Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star certainly does the job. With a V-Max motor ( detuned of course ) Tonka Toy bodywork and a gnat's bollock of ground clearance, the Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star is something truly different from the typical 90s V-twin Harley tribute act.
The Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star has a really soft, lazy old motor, which makes a claimed 75bhp or 98bhp in the full dresser XVZ Venture Star touring model. Peak torque is at just 3500rpm, so you'll rarely need to stir the Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star's five-speed gearbox once on the move.
Even for a cruiser, the Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star handles like a jelly burglar's swag bag. There's hardly any ground clearance, the bike steers slower than the QE2 and the riding position is akin to a dentist's chair. The Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star is great fun whilst posing on Brighton prom, but disappointingly vague on normal roads.
The fully tour kitted Yamaha XVZ1300A Venture Star has all the bells and whistles you'd expect including audio, although it's only a quaint radio/cassette player. Huge fairing will keep a monsoon at bay. The basic Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star has less sophisticated suspension, a less luxurious pillion perch, but still boasts twin front discs.
The Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star is beautifully finished. The chrome glitters, the paint is thick. The Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star's engine is so understressed that it's difficult to imagine any mechanical problems affecting it for at least 50,000 miles. Owners tend to use the Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star/Venture Star in sunny weather, so used examples often look near mint.
If you want a mega cruiser then Harley have street cred and resale values that cannot be matched by any other brand. The Valkyrie is faster, handles better too and a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 does the same job and costs less secondhand. Hard to see why you'd want a Yamaha XVZ1300A Royal Star, unless someone was virtually giving it away. Find a Yamaha Royal Star for sale

When looking to replace my Kawasaki VN1500 Nomad I looked long and hard at all types of big cruisers (didn't consider Harley as they are too overpriced for me).
I narrowed it down to the Honda VTX 1800, Suzuki C109 and Kawasaki VN 2000.
All big powerful cruisers but not quite right.
I stumbled in my research across the XVZ 1300.
The smaller capacity turned me off until I discovered it was a V4. That really got me interested.
Fast forward I did my research and opted for a low km one owner CT version in pearl white.
The motor is superb. Mine has slip on BUB exhausts and sounds amazing. The V4 really rumbles like a V8. Sounds much better than a V twin.
Comfort is excellent, performance is exceptional for a BIG bike and economy/range is good when not pushed.
Remember this is a big and heavy bike but for my 6'4 115 kilo frame is perfect.
I find it is easy to handle at low speeds and fast in straights. Remember this is a long distance tourer and not a sports bike. It's not a fan of the twisties.
Yamaha build quality is outstanding - period!
Before you consider a Harley Road King, Kawasaki Voyager and/or Nomad, Goldwing, Suzuki C109 strongly consider the XVZ new or used.

Yamaha Venture Star
I have owned this bike since 1999 and have the silver and gold model. I first saw it in a motorcycle magazine and thought it was beautiful. Yamaha obviously borrowed some styling cues from the Harley Davidson Classic and made just enough changes to make it unique. I love the look and especially the dash which looks like a 1955 corvette dash. What You don't know is that the Engine was designed by Porsche for Harley Davidson!!! Harley passed on it because they were afraid the Harley faithful would not go for the 4 cylinder. Porsche later designed the twin cylinder V-Rod for Harley and it has mixed reviews from the Harley Faithful. The 4 cylinder V Engine Porsche designed was later sold to Yamaha who put it in their 1983 Venture Royale Touring bike. Later the folks at Yamaha thought it was too nice an engine to waste on a touring bike so they added V-Boost and put it in the V-Max in 1985. Yamaha stopped production of the Venture Royale in 1989 but brought it back as the Yamaha Venture in 1999. The Engine in the V-Max makes 145 HP at the crank, in the Venture it maked 98 HP and 89 FPT. This is a lot of power for a touring bike and the bike tops out at 135 MPH!!!
What I like about the bike is it can tour like a Gold Wing, but cruise like a Harley. With the aftermarket Bub's Pipes, it sounds like a chevy V-8 small block and I should know because I have owned two - a Vette and a Z-28 so I know that sound!!! I like that the bike looks a lot like the Harley Classic - so much so that the Harley Faithful wave to me all the time!!! I love the smoothness and sound of the engine which gets 45 mpg in touring mode! I love the comfort of the riding position and I added the backrest for even more comfort! I love the paint and the colors that looks like a custom job to me and my friends. I love that Yamaha thinks enough about the bike to provide a 5 YEAR Warrantee!!! The Radio/Soundsystem is excellent and it consists of 18 FM channels, 6 AM channels, cassette tape player, plug in for my Sony I-pod, CB Radio, and I have the Clarion 6 disk CD player!!! I have put on almost 30,000 trouble free miles in the last 10 years and in three years I plan to buy a brand new one to take me through my retirement years!!!
What I don't like about the bike is it is heavy (809 lbs) so the handling is rather heavy and slow. It is an excellent bike for cruising and touring on open roads with the same limitations the Harley classic has which is the handlebar mounted fairing (less stable in the wind), the heavy handling (heavyweight), and the limited ground clearance. The pipes and floorboards scrape but it is better when one up and with the aftermarket (Bub's)pipes which are smaller in diameter. As long as you remember that this bike is not a sport bike, or even a sport tourer, You will be fine. What it is is an excellent heavyweight cruising touring bike! When I bought this bike back in 1999, I had a Harley Davidson Classic on order! It was due in in 3 months, but a friend talked me into a test drive on the Venture and I was sold!!! I saved $5,000 over the cost of the Harley and got an excellent bike for my money.
What I hope Yamaha does to improve the bike is add fuel injection, anti-lock brakes, heated grips and seats and GPS as options. They might also think of putting a water cooled, fuel injected, high performance twin cylinder engine for better mileage (55 vs 45 MPG), and higher torque. Bottom line is I will probably buy another Yamaha Venture in three years when I retire!!! I think that says it all!!!

I guess Saw opened a door or something, or any of Universal's properties that can be turned into games nowadays will. I hope Brad Dourif has some kind of involvement. Chucky is not Chucky without him. I'm not expecting greatness from this...I'll just hope for fun. I like the movies a lot.

Sloving cases one by oneI'll play it once I get a trailer, screenshots, and it being released on the Nintendo Wii. I got a strong feeling that overprotective parents are going to complain about this game when they find out that it aint a kids game. I had a feeling that a video game of Child's Play was going to happen, but I didn't figure it would take this long for it to happen. So if this does well, will we get a decent video game of Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street?

I am super sick today, and I took some cold medicine, and I just… I found myself doing this for over five straight minutes:
Like, I have always loved my nose, but today it's just amazing. It's even sharper than I remembered and I was like "I should memorize my own nose. I don't know the back of my own hand really well. Am I supposed to know the back of my hand really well? Do other people know the backs of their hands really fucking well and I am the weirdo for whom 'I know him like the back of my hand' means I don't know him very well? At least I can know my own nose. And then I will say 'I know him like the shape of my nose.' Whoa, I just realized why robotripping is a thing."
And then when I was trying to make the above gif to show you, I messed up some settings but I made a gif that EXACTLY illustrates how I feel right now.

ND was shut out 3 times that year including 0-5 by that
power house Wabash but they did beat a Chicago H.S. team
44-0 and Bennett Medical College 22-0.
such a dumb ass. You need to impose your will on the other team.
NBC would be pissed though because it would be tough to get an hour and half worth of commercials and promos on the air in only 33 minutes.
Would have a hard on for that kind of score!
I'm too lazy to check on College Football Data Warehouse.
I'm pretty sure you have it at your golden fingertips.
The score was only 38-0 or so but USC could have scored a hundred. The contrast between teams reminded me of when Digger ran out the clock against UCLA when we were down by about 40 and on national TV.
And I hated them for it.
There were time when I wondered if they scored again or it was a replay.
cost us a National Championship
ND trailed 10-24 at half in '70 (losing 28-38)
It was the very first time that an Ara coached Irish team trailed in a game vs USC at halftime...the '69 game was 0-0 at half...the Irish were ahead at half in all of the others(up to 1970).....later, the Irish would trail at half in both the '71 (7-28) and '72 (10-19) games....
Ara was only behind USC at half in 3 games in his ND career but finished 3-6-2 vs the Trojans
years, that he couldn't win the big ones -- and then came the second Cotton Bowl against Texas...
team was still in the hunt for the NC. That game left psychological scars that will last a lifetime. We dominated the first half and then boom....
24-6 halftime lead vs USC in '74
In '67, the Irish led USC 7-0 at half(and lost 24-7...fumbling the 2nd half kickoff....etc)
In '67, ND only trailed once at halftime(vs Miami in the final...and the Irish won that game)
Hell, even Hugh Devore only trailed one time at halftime in 1963(swear to God) and finished 2-7
EDIT: I was considering not bring this up but-ND led USC 17-0 at halftime of the '64 game too
Navy scored 28 points in the second half in 63 to win 35-14.....
the game was tied 7-7 at half
1963 halftime scores:
G1 Wis 9-7 ND led at half (ND lost on late td 9-14)
G 2 Pur 6-0 ND led (ND lost on late td AND had a winning FG attempt blocked)
G 3 USC 14-14 tie (ND won over defending National Champs 17-14)
G 4 UCLA 14-6 ND led (ND won 27-12)
G 5Stan 14-0 ND led (ND gave up 24 unanswered points to lose 24-14)
G 6 Navy 7-7 tie (28 2nd half points given up by Irish)
G 7 PITT 7-12 PITT led (only time ND trailed at half-lost 7-27)
G 8 MSU 7-6 ND led (leading ND failed to score from inside 20 twice in 4th Q and then gave up a 85 yd td run by Sherman Lewis(after giving the ball up on downs at the 15) late in game
G 9 Syra 7-6 ND led at half (of course Syra scored late in the 4th to win
What was the "worst" loss, subjectively? The 1944 season was completely explicable -- the war took even Leahy away from the team.
In my time following ND, a few losses stand out:
1994: Boston College 30, Notre Dame 11. A year after the '93 heartbreaker, ND should have put BC through the woodchipper. Instead, my least-favorite Holtz team laid down and were run over by an unranked BC team.
2004: USC 41, Notre Dame 10. Ty's third straight 31-point loss to USC. Carroll rubbed it in at the end, padding Leinart's Heisman candidacy with a late TD pass.
2007: Air Force 41, Notre Dame 24. ND's worst team, blown out by a modern-day service academy. This loss somehow flies under the radar in discussions of the 2007 season, but it shouldn't.
2008: BC 17, ND 0. ND had 66 yards rushing and five turnovers.
2010: Navy 35, ND 17. Diaco's defense gave up 367 yards rushing. ND was behind 35-10 with a few minutes left in the game.
And the 2009 Navy loss. Circumstances be damned, I consider any loss to Navy a fireable offense.
I should have remembered that we lost to them at home twice in a row. In my defense, 2008 and 2009 were virtually indistinguishable seasons.
It was the only Navy game I didn't attend while a student. 0-3 in person.
is realizing how many times we've lost to Navy in the last 7 years.
how many times we dodged a loss (By my count twice).
(*Edited to add pretty things like bolded text).
Maybe I had just stopped caring by that point, but Air Force was one of the least offensive losses of that season...relatively speaking.
Here is how I would group the games in that three-month soul-sucking dumpster fire that reportedly took place in the fall of 2007:
GROUP A: I Almost Can't Describe How Hideous This Is
1. Georgia Tech - It gets the top spot because no one saw it coming. And it was the season opener. And it was about a 9.5/10 on the humiliation scale. AND...(this is the biggest part)...it robbed us all of what should have been a beautiful untainted experience of seeing Michigan lose to a 1-AA team the same day. It was like getting fired from your job the same day you find out the co-worker you hate the most has gonorrhea.
2. Michigan - This sucked completely because up until this game, there was still a chance that Michigan was actually worse than us. We all had some little voice in our hearts that said "You know what? They're 0-2, also. There is a chance they are an even bigger pile of dogshit than what we've seen so far. We might come out and beat their helpless asses and then maybe this nightmare start to the season could get a little bit brighter." And all that did happen. Only it happened for Michigan.
GROUP B: You've Taken The Last Thing We Had
3. Navy - By October, it was pretty obvious that what we were watching was real and wasn't going to go away anytime soon. But we all still just *knew" that no matter what, the 43 game streak was safe. We might be awful, but losing to Navy just won't ever happen. It's not on the table. At the end of the day, we'll still hang our tattered hat on that. Thanks, Chuck.
GROUP C: Gang-Bang In Progress; Apply Within
4. Penn State - The game that made sure we all knew that GT wasn't some strange sick joke of a fluke, like a fake email we got from God where he didn't actually mean to hit 'Send.' Zero rushing yards. 14 penalties. No offensive TDs again. Plus, it actually stung more because for a minute it looked like it was going to be a game. We had the INT return to go up 7-0. We were only down 14-7 at the half.
5. USC - An all-time laugher of a home game. This game sucked so bad, I actually always confuse it with the 2008 game, which was even worse. I just assume that they are one long crimson and gold fisting in which our offense doesn't score (or really cross midfield too much) and USC completely manhandles and violates us in any way they please. Just terrible.
GROUP D: Its Own Brand of Shame
6. Boston College - Given the quality of the two teams that year, the result actually wasn't too awful (I agree that the '08 version was worse). But what makes this stand out, like a misspelled neck tattoo or a festering chemical burn, is that there was actually talk that WE were a TRAP GAME for BOSTON COLLEGE. Just let that sink in. WE were the "dangerous" lowly opponent cliche that BC had to get by before their big showdown with V-Tech the next week. Few things are more humiliating than that previous sentence.
7. Air Force - Narrowly losing our record winning streak to Navy was all kinds of awful, but at least it was just a two point OT loss in ugly conditions. Getting WORKED by another service academy the following week was possibly even more inexcusable. First Navy beats us. Then Air Force kicks the shit out of us. At this point though...did it matter anymore?
GROUP E: Was that a...touchdown?
8. Purdue - I actually don't remember much about this game. But it gets ranked above Michigan State just on principle. And because...
9. Michigan State - ...even though we got worked, we scored our first (TWO!!!) offensive touchdowns of the year and somehow that still remains a fond memory for me. I can still strangely remember that one drive where Aldridge and Hughes took turns busting out big runs until we scored.
GROUP F: Well Whoop-Dee-Fucking-Doo
10. Stanford - Hooray! The season's over. Now, when they don't fire Weis, we'll get to read a bunch of holier-than-though Willingham articles. That should be fun.
11. Duke - A 21 pt win on Senior Day. As far as hollow wins go, at least this one had that.
GROUP G: Catharsis
12. UCLA - The glorious moment all Notre Dame fans live for: The moment we realize we aren't going to have a winless season.
and a bit therapeutic. I had blocked out a lot of that season and needed to look at the schedule to refresh.
I think I agree on the Holtz-era choice, but in my opinion it isn't even a contender.
Now, Ty gives us plenty to choose from. FSU 2003 was among the worst, and certainly the worst game I saw in person. We didn't get our second first down until midway through the third quarter. It ended 37-0. I have never seen an ND team more soundly dominated.
Similarly, 2007 gives us a lot to choose from. I think Air Force's relative success in the 80s against ND probably made this loss blend in with all the others in 2007. USC, Michigan and Georgia Tech were worse losses simply because they were just one-sided blowouts.
I don't even think BC in 2008 makes the list. It was a frustrating loss, but we actually outgained BC. It was just a matter of the turnovers. We weren't dominated or thrown around like pussies. We just made a lot of mistakes. To me, that's a bad loss, but not one of the worst in my opinion. Perhaps it is just a different kind of "worst". The worst to me are when ND just cannot be competitive.
I also disagree with the 2010 Navy game. Not quite as much. That one was pretty bad, but there are a half dozen Faust/Weis/Willingham games that beat this one, in my opinion. Navy was 9-4 (including a bowl loss) that year.
But two losses to Missouri always bugged me. The one under Devine after the 1977 NC season was a 3-0 loss to open the 1978 season with Montana still at Qb and a decent supporting cast. Missouri was good that year, but to be shut out at home in the opener was inexcusable.
The other one was a 30-26 loss at home under Ara. Missouri was a .500 team that year and had been annihilated by Nebraska the week before and the game, I think, was played in a snowstorm.
undefeated and 8th ranked ND vs Missouri at ND
Missouri won 30-26

the only common opponent was Missouri(NEB beat them 62-0 and ND lost 26-30)

ND defending National Champs
Joe Montana returning at QB for the Irish
Opening game at ND-It was 94 degrees
1st half
the only team that came close to scoring was ND, who drove to the 18 where QB Montana fumbled a snap and Mo recovered
0-0 at half
2nd half
ND drove to the 11 early in the 3rQ. On 4th & 1 Montana tried a sneak and was stuffed. Mo ball
ND recovered a Mo fumble in ND territory and moved inside the 10. On 3rd and inches Montana was stuffed again. Instead of going for a FG the Irish went for it and Vagas Ferguson was tackled for a 3 yd loss
ND stops Mo yet again and starts a drive. Joe Montana hits Kris Haines with a 34 yd pass to the Mo 4 yd line. Haines catches the ball just before going out of bounds. Haines turns and slaps the Mo defender(wasn't just a 'tap' as some claim)up side the helmet. Haines receives a 15 yd penalty.
It is now 1st and goal from the 19.
ND gains 4 yds on 3 plays and decides(this time) to kick a FG. Unis to attempt, but holder Restic fumbles the snap and has to attempt a pass-incomplete.
Still 0-0 at the end of the 3rd Q
Mo finally puts a drive together(Irish defense was great all day) and with 12:50 left the Tigers kick a FG for a 3-0 lead....up until this point it felt like it was just a matter of time until ND scored and ended this game...the crowd is stunned
ND drives to the Mo 28. Again ND goes for it on 4th & 1 and Ferguson is stopped to no gain
The Irish stop Mo, get the ball back and drive(yet again) to the Mo 25....where Ferguson fumbles...Mo ball 3:30 left
ND forces another Mo punt. 1:15 left
Mo punts to Randy Harrison-who fumbles...Mo recovers
Missouri runs out the clock
FINAL Missouri 3 Notre Dame 0
Concert that night
I just didn't give the details
ND was without star frosh DT Steve Niehaus who had hurt his knee in a mid week practice and was lost for the season
the score was tied 14-14...Missouri able to run up the middle with no Niehaus around to stop them and the teams traded tds
Next Missouri drove down the field-helped by a 4th down off side penalty vs ND
A Tigers back dove into the endzone(without the ball). He left the football at the 3-where Nd recovered...but the officials didn't see the fumble-just that the ball carrier crossed the goal line and signaled td...a phantom td play would be eerily repeated a number of years later vs USC in '82
Starting the second half ND's Schlezes fumbled a punt and Mo converted for a FG/ then Diminick fumbled the kickoff and Mo recovered and kicked yet another FG Mo 27 ND 14.....and ND had yet to run an offensive play in the half!!!
Missouri added another FG early in the 4th Q to lead 30-14. ND started their comeback(finally). ND QB Clements scored on a 13 yd run(30-20);Clements hit SE Jim Roolf with a 36 yd pass on 4th down-leading to a Andy Huff td run (30-26 with the 2 pt conversion failed).......ND stopped the Tigers and got the ball back....Clements lofted a long sideline pass to what looked like a wide open Daryl Dewan, but as Dewan seemed to get ready to make the catch in stride, a Missouri safety came from across the field and make a great int to save the victory
Ara said afterwards that if Dewan had caught that pass he'd still be running...he had a clear field ahead of him.....later the ND Yearbook had a picture of the Mo player diving into the endzone without the ball...the caption read "Missouri magic-td without the ball"
I was at that game,too. Our family also knew Scott Picken's family (the guy from Peoria who started at LB for Mizzou). My dad wrote his dad after the game complimenting him on how well his son played.
I still can't believe ND lost that game. By the way Olsen, do you know what high school Scott Pickens played for.
the last great LB from Peoria Central before Pickens was Bob Jockisch
Jockisch started a number of games at DT for Notre Dame in '67 & '68 next to Mike McCoy....last I heard, Jockisch still lived in Peoria
Jockisch is the only Central(Peoria High) player to ever play at ND
Solid football player. I'm a Bergan High School alum class of '78.
Marty walked on as a frosh at HB-after his HS career at QB(one of Marty's roommates at ND was Daryl Dewan's -their other roommate was another Bergan grad)
Best concentrated on golf after his frosh year.
Them for the first time ever? I think Marty Best was the guy who scored the first ever TD against Spalding. Another family we knew well. Marty's dad was our family doctor for years.
They had a good record but I can remember the student body chanting "we're number 5" after one win, then "we're number 8" after another -- no offense. The Missouri game day was miserable -- a cold misty rain, ice on the stadium cement so your feet were on ice all game, we kept fumbling kicks, and it followed the LSAT exam, making the entire day lousy.
the captain of that team, Greg Marx, is in very poor health. He slipped and fell at his home and broke his neck.
He is a good man who could use the power of prayer.
He's definitely a character (in a good way). All of us here locally are keeping him in our thoughts.
thank you for letting us know
Greg was a 5th year senior in '72-star DT(made 1st team All American)
For the first few games of the season, Greg and Frosh Steve Niehaus made a imposing DT combination.
But as mentioned above, Niehaus was hurt prior to the Missouri game and this allowed the Tigers to double team Marx all game and somewhat neutralize him.
After the stunning Irish loss, the best RB on the next opponent (Mike Luttrell of TCU) was quoted in the paper as saying how he wasn't impressed with the ND defense.
That week before the TCU game,I remember seeing Greg around campus- Marx was wearing a relatively small 'stickum' on his jacket around campus that simply said "BEAT TCU"
In the game, Luttrell gained 26 yds on 13 carries and ND shut out TCU 21-0....TCU gained 132 yds for the game....Luttrell had no comments after the contest
on Greg's good side. He still has an imposing game face.
One of the really neat things I have learned from Greg's ordeal is that the Monogram Club has also agreed to provide assistance to Greg through the Catastrophic Relief Fund. I understand the amount is limited but every bit helps.
From an e-mail from Mike Keating:
However, Greg's needs continue to grow and assistance from his friends and teammates will hopefully accelerate his return to health. Direct contributions for Greg's benefit would be most appreciated. Greg can be reached at and direct contributions can be sent to: 18629 Jamestown, Northville, MI 48168. Greg's email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. We are sure he would appreciate your words of encouragement and support.
The memory fades over the years. For some reason I thought it snowed for the 72 game, but I knew weather was involved. However, we got the worst of that I suppose.
I still can't believe we we're shut out in 78, the only team Mizzou blanked that year(I looked it up).
Fortunately, the freshmen on that team got revenge as seniors.
