Marketing is experiencing change due in great part to the growth of behavioral targeting, social media and mobile marketing. Driving the explosive growth and interest for these areas (as well as the more "mature" digital areas such as search and E-commerce) is the fact that companies can now determine the exact ROI of a campaign due to the availability of all kinds of data. We are both proud and excited to introduce our digital marketing track.
The Master of Science in Marketing program prepares students for these growth areas, as well as traditional areas, by emphasizing a proficiency in quantitative skills such as statistics, databases and market research as well as qualitative skills such as consumer behavior. Regardless of the graduate marketing track you pursue, these skills will be what can set you apart from other "marketers" when competing for a job or advancing in your career.
Specialization is also critical in today's marketplace and our MS in Marketing program allows you to take twice the number of marketing courses than other degree programs. Learn more by attending one of our info sessions or our marketing events.
For the status of your application or questions about the required admission documentation, you may contact the advising office or the MS Marketing program.

Business Core Courses (9 Semester Credit Hours)
Six MS Marketing Tracks
Advertising & Branding
The world of advertising is undergoing significant changes with the shift of ad spending from traditional media such as television to digital media (i.e. search engines and social media). While traditional media spending is forecasted to grow 2.9% per year between 2010 and 2014, digital media is projected to grow at over 10% per year during this same period. The core courses offered in this track, such as advertising & promotional strategy, advertising research, brand management and digital marketing, emphasize principles applicable to both traditional and digital media. Frequently, digital media practitioners are adept at using the tool of the day but lack the necessary marketing and strategic framework to ensure that their efforts are profitable and/or integrate with the rest of the marketing mix. This track also offers electives in areas such as social media, digital marketing lab and web analytics.

Digital Advertising & Marketing
A 2011 report by Forrester Research forecasted that the U.S. interactive marketing spend would reach $76.6 billion by 2016, equal to TV spending in 2011 accounting for 35% of all advertising.(vs the current 19% digital spending today).
Search and display advertising will continue to be the biggest pieces of the interactive spending pie, at 44% and 36%, respectively, mobile paid advertising and search will experience astronomic growth and are surpassing email and social this year, according to the report. Due to these trends and resulting hiring opportunities for marketing professionals, we have added this track which consists of 4 highly specialized courses and numerous digital marketing and ecommerce electives. The track contains a course in digital and interactive marketing, a foundation Advertising and Promotions course, a Web Analytics course (Google Analytics) and a digital lab course where our students can obtain hands on experience creating a WordPress site with plugins, using social media listening platforms, data visualization software for management and client presentations, YouTube, Augmented Reality, Mobile QR codes & apps, Paid Search campaigns (i.e. Google AdWords) and many more.
Core Courses (9 SCH)
Marketing Analytics
Companies have witnessed an exponential growth in customer data generated from store scanners and from web transactions, navigation, search, and more recently, social media. Companies are therefore seeking trained professionals who have the skills to analyze the data to help managers make better marketing decisions. There is a shortage of qualified candidates with the right combination of marketing and analytical skills. Often companies hire students trained in the statistical or quantitative side who use different packages such as SAS or SPSS to create marketing decision models. Such hires often lack an understanding of marketing decision making and of the key drivers of consumer purchase behavior.
The Marketing Analytics & Market Research track seeks to fill this void by offering core courses that provide an introduction to basic marketing principles such as consumer behavior, segmentation, targeting, positioning, market research and digital marketing along with quantitative courses in marketing analytics using SAS and database marketing. Numerous and highly relevant electives such as new technology forecasting, data warehousing, spreadsheet modeling, business intelligence, web analytics or more SAS based courses are available for this track, including an optional data mining certificate.

Marketing Management
This track is designed for those students who are either undecided about the functional area they wish to specialize in within marketing or who might be performing a broad range of marketing functions or are in general marketing management. It is also a good option for students pursuing a dual MBA or master's degree who wish to leverage some of their previous coursework. Please check with the advising office for the requirements for dual degrees. For these students, we offer this general and balanced track that gives them exposure to numerous areas such as market research, advertising, sales, channel/distribution management, strategy and a broader range of electives to choose from. For example, if a marketing professional works for a small or medium sized company and is responsible for many different functional areas, this might be the best track for their professional environment.

Product Management
The Product Management discipline or profession is one that involves both product specific knowledge and a highly specialized set of marketing and business skills. The product specific knowledge is often either learned on the job (i.e. for consumer packaged goods such as potato chips) or attained in some industries and products by having a technical background or degree (i.e. engineers for telecommunications, scientists and pharmacists in drug companies, etc). In the technical field, many managers are often promoted into a product management role and are unfamiliar with the business and marketing skill sets this new role entails. Often they attend seminars and short courses which vary in quality and duration.
Product managers involved with consumer or other non–technical products often come from a very diverse set of educational backgrounds. While some have a business/ marketing degree many others have a liberal arts or some other non–business degree. However, even those with bachelor's degrees in business who took marketing courses probably did not take courses in product management because they are not commonly offered in undergraduate programs.
We are excited to offer this track which contains a set of highly specialized core courses critical for product management success: new product development, product management (managing the product throughout the different stages of its lifecycle), pricing and brand management. Among the electives for this track are highly relevant courses such as new technology forecasting, competitive strategy, channels and retailing, marketing engineering and project management.

Alex Wrekk is in town from Portland, OR! Like Ms. Adderley, Alex Wrekk trekked across a handful of states to table at our fledging wee fest— why don't you come down and get some zines from her distro, Portland Button Works, and check our her long-running zine– Brainscan.
Please tell us about the zines you'll be tabling at ABQZF!
Portland Button Works will bring our whole zine distro including my personal zine, Brainscan. We will also have our whole catalog of zine themed buttons. I've been creating Brainscan since 1997 and it is a zine that has grown as changed over the years some topics have included: travel, stories, reproductive health, love, recovery from emotional abuse, and more wrapped in stark black and white photocopier art layout.
What do you say when someone asks you, "What are zines?"
Sounds like magazine, without the "maga". They are like small self published magazine where people get to tell their own story or include their own art. Zines are physical things (e-zines are not zines!) but there is also a large network of communities that celebrate and participate in the culture of zines.
Do you have a zine crush? If so, are you willing to reveal the object of your zine affection?
Of course, but I'm not telling you!
What's the most challenging thing about zine making?
Finding the time to make them these days.
How long have you been writing zines, and how did you get started?What do you enjoy most about making zines?
I started my first zine in 1994, but didn't put it out until 1995. I keep reading them and one day it hit me "I can make these too!"
Roughly how many zines do you archive in your personal collection?
Thousands and thousands over the years. I've been passing them on lately, though.
So much of the written word we now experience via digital media. Why are zines important?
Because zines can get to places that digital media can't. There is something very special about the tangibility of zines and holding something in your hand that you know the creator of it touched it as well.
Thanks, Alex!

Ooh la la! Jessica Alba Instagrammed a photo on Wednesday of herself dressed in a dramatic, red pleated gown which complimented her long wavy locks perfectly … and she looked like she was inspired by the oh-so-sultry "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" cartoon character, Jessica Rabbit.
Along with the stunning pic, the 32-year-old wrote, "Played dress up 2day w @atkinjen & @beau_nelson."
Is That Jessica Alba or Jessica Rabbit? (Instagram/ Touchstone Pictures)
This isn't the first time the mommy of two has drawn inspiration from a cartoon. In October 2012, the actress dressed up with her family as "The Incredibles" for Halloween and in 2009, she and hubby Cash Warren attended a Hollywood Halloween shindig dressed as Dora the Explorer and Diego from Nickelodeon's "Dora the Explorer."
Check out this video to see the similarities between Alba and Rabbit, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for all the latest entertainment news.

Powerseal / Excell 808K Wide Neck Bag Sealing Tape Dispenser is a tape dispenser/bag sealer with trimmer for tape up to 15mm wide (approximately 5/8 inch wide) on a 3-inch diameter core. The wider neck is great for heavy mil bags; the opening at the top of the dispenser (where the bag is inserted) is approximately 7/16 inch wide. The dispenser can be used to seal produce bags, bakery products, candy items, floral arrangements, industrial parts, newspapers and hardware. All steel taper with sturdy base and trimmer. For rolls which are used in this dispenser please see the JVCC BST-22 and BST-24 Bag Sealing Tape products.
Instructions for using bag sealing dispensers:
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

Two people and 10 pets were killed in a Falls Church house fire early Wednesday morning, according to fire officials.
Fairfax County firefighters responded to the fire shortly before 3:30 a.m. in the Falls Church area of Fairfax County. The single family home was located in the 3100 block of Manor Road and was a total loss, according to fire officials. Firefighters said the ranch-style home was fully engulfed in flames upon their arrival.
"Firefighters conducted an exterior fire attack due to the overwhelming volume of fire surrounding all four sides of the home," fire and rescue spokesman Dan Schmidt said.
Schmidt said power lines on the right side of the home also came down while firefighters were battling the blaze. The fire was brought under control in about 30 minutes, and firefighters then found two bodies burned beyond recognition. "We can't even tell you their gender," Schmidt said.
In addition to the two bodies, 10 pets — two dogs and eight cats — also perished in the fire, Schmidt said.
"It is very tragic," he said. "Only a white brick masonry fireplace remains of the home."
Schmidt said both fire and police investigators are looking into the cause of the fire, and the names of the deceased will be withheld until next of kin has been notified. A medical examiner will determine the cause of death. "Police will investigate to determine whether there was any foul play, notify the next of kin and provide us with the identities once they are determined," Schmidt said.

thought i needed high frequency or something
no you do t need HF to do it .although it is a luxury.
high freq.only allows you to start the arc without touching the base metal. you will have to use the scratch start method,much like arc welding.
for welding aluminum you need to have the machine set to AC not DC
with a pretty good amount of amps.
,and your base metal must be VERY clean
when i tig i always try to weld with the gas off cuz i strike an arc and wonder why it isnt welding rightmy daddy always said i was IRONHEADED....
feel free to P/M me
Truely you would get more and better responses if this question was moved to the welding discussions section. If you did not notice they have merged the forums together now and this is actually a new section even tho the old adress puts you here and they are not moderating it either
To answer your question, if your machine is not a tig unit then you will need a torch with a gas valve and a lug made for a torch cable and an argon regulator. Yes you will need high frequency to weld aluminum or you won't be able to maintain an arc. When learning to weld aluminum you really need everything in your favor so trust me when I tell you you might find it possible to weld it without HF but it won't ever be worth a crap untill you know what you are doing first. But I really doubt it could even be done.
Chances are by the time you get it all rigged out you could'a had a real factory tig for about the same money
You can scratch start DC tho and not use HF...it happens everyday

Welderman has obviously not tried to weld aluminum with an older transformer machine. On the Dialarc you will need everything FusionKing has mentioned. The HF 15-1 is the recommended HF unit for that machine. You need HF, not only to start the arc (scratch & alum don't mix) but to maintain the arc as the wave cycles from positive to negative.
The newer inverter machines make that +/- transition much faster, thereby they are able to use HF for starting the arc only.
Also, as FusionKing mentioned, the Dialarc is not the machine you want to try to learn aluminum tig on. It is not a squarewave machine, it has no balance control, and it has no provision for varying the amps (foot/finger control). By the time you get all the pieces together, you'd be better off picking up a used Sync 250 and have a "real" tig machine.
I'd have to vote with Sundown on this one. The Dialarc without the HF option would be a pain to use on AC. On DC it's ok but without the HF on AC to stabilize arc at the zero crossing point as it switched polarity every half cycle it would just spit and have constant arc outages. A squarewave machine crosses zero much faster and can in some cases be used with out HF.
Good luck

To write a daily blog to discuss the issue of gender identity, and to answer some basic questions about what being transgendered is like.
I am a 50 year old trans-woman, and have spent many years dealing with my own issues about gender identity. Gender has always been a bit of a hot subject, and the idea of people wanting to actually CHANGE genders makes it even more so.
Many peoples opinions of what being transgendered means comes from what they see about "transsexuals" on the news or in TV programs. These sources tend to show a bit of a skewed perspective (after all, if it is normal, it ISN'T news), but if no one is saying anything to the contrary, how will people know?
Things are quite a bit better than they were 10 years ago, but there is still work to be done. If the media is not ready to do it, I thought I would give it a shot.
My plan is to start a blog in January about the kind of things I have faced over the years. Some of what I write will be humorous, some will be a bit sad, but it will all be written from the heart. After people learn a bit more about me, I will start a question and answer section. I hope this will be used as a way to gather information about the topic rather than just generating "hate mail."
For now, I want people to comment about what they think about this kind of blog, and ask that people list some of the questions that they might want answers for. Please make any questions suitable for a PG audience.
Dec 31 2012: Im positive theres already a relatively famous youtube vlog that does this.
Jan 1 2013: There are some great blogs and YouTube videos out there, but most are done from a younger perspective. I thought a new blog written from an older person might be useful. Time will tell I guess.
Fritzie -
Dec 31 2012: If I were you, I would first check what sorts of blogs, newsletters, and Q and As are available right now through organizations that share your interest in making available accurate information about gender identity, gender changes, and living transgendered. From this search you can judge whether there are specific unmet needs you may wish to address.
- +1
Some people may be interested in your personal experiences, while others may be more inclined to seek information from LGBT organizations that may draw on the experiences of a broad set of transgender people.
For your own blog it is easiest to start by promoting your project to your friends, who may then help you find a broader readership by recommending your blog to others with simiar interests.
Jan 1 2013: I wanted some feedback about what people would like to learn about transgenderism. My hope was that I could dispel a few myths along the way. So far, I have gotten little in the way of constructive dialogue, but I hope that will change. After all, this is the TED community, and surely there are a few inquiring minds out there seeking answers.
Jan 1 2013: There are inquiring minds here seeking answers to questions that press on them and also seeking responses to their ideas, but people tend to have specific areas and questions they find most urgent in their lives. In any small community such as this, you may not find many people invested in your particular subject, regardless of what your subject is.
Have you made inquiries in communities that have a focus on discussing issues related to sexual identity and transgender life in particular? Have you looked at Google Plus as well?
Kendra Berg
Jan 1 2013: I am researching a number of options. I wanted to create a blog on a more mainstream venue to get a broader reader base, but recognize that the issue of transgender in society is still a bit of a fringe subject. I will have a better idea of where to do this by the end of the week. I do want to thank you for your constructive comments.Jan 13 2013: Kendra, let me say I would support you in this endeavour.
- +1
A friend of mine recently passed away. He came out to me, that he was transgender, about 8 years ago. Needless to say, I did not understand the issues he faced, I did not get what he was going through and I did not take it very well. But, I worked through it. He was in his late 60's when he told me this. He shared how he had struggled through his life with this issue. How he had worked to hide it, suppress it, pray for it to go away, and struggled with the issue in his marriage. Admittedly, I still struggle with the issue, but I better understand it do to his kind words, patience, and understanding with my struggle.
At the time I wish there had been places I could go to better understand his issues. I wish that he had written a blog to tell his story. His life was fascinating and I missed opportunities to know him better. Blogging would have provided and education and outreach for others both as a help for those struggling and a help for their friends who struggle as well.
Please consider doing this, even if you write from an anonymous perspective. Too often we get the impression of these issues as "strange or weird" based on what the media chooses to portray. Intelligent, articulate individuals are not as common in these circles, or at least I have not seen enough. I would be interested in your insights.Jan 9 2013: I started this thread to determine whether the time was right to do a blog on this subject. I knew there were a wide range of blogs on this general topic, but thought perhaps there would be more interest in getting the perspective of someone who was older, was a success in her field, and had a somewhat conservative background. It appears I was wrong.
I leave you with this: Transgenderism is not a choice as much as it is a lack of options. Our society sets limits on what is acceptable behaviour for boys/girls, and those limits can be stifling. By the time we are adults, these limits have been pretty hard set, and are difficult to change. We claim to celebrate diversity and multiculturalism, but the biases in our society about these matters still run deep (at least in some parts).
If we could change your minds about the limits of acceptable male/female behaviours (and therefore be able live within them), perhaps we wouldn't have to modify our bodies to suit.
Jan 10 2013: Kendra, I don't think you can conclude from the responses here that it is not time to do a blog on your subject. The TED Conversations community may simply not be a reliable readership of such a blog. You may find it is time but that you would need to market your idea in a different place to find an interested audience of adequate size to make your project worthwhile to you..
Jan 10 2013: I will eventually do a blog, but have decided to wait until I have fully completed my own transition. Meanwhile, I will keep a daily journal. so I have a record I can refer to for information when I do take that next step.Jan 9 2013: It is interesting how often the words "transgender" and "prostitute" are linked together. Can I say that no one who is transgendered ever works as a prostitute? Of course not. The reality is a small percentage of our community does do that kind of work. But, don't assume that just because it happens to some that it must happen to all.
Perhaps rather than asking about the "way" a transgendered woman would prostitute herself, you should be asking "why"? As a general group, we face a high level of discrimination. We are a visible minority, particularly when first starting out, when our ability to be perceived as authentic to the gender of our choice is limited.
As a visible minority with limited protection under the law, and with the stereotyping that goes on about us, "normal" jobs can be harder to find. It is one thing if we transition after having proved ourselves in the workplace, but it is something else again to try to transition with few life skills, as the younger generations often face when trying to transition when still in their teen or early 20's.
I cannot speak personally bout working as a prostitute, a I have never done so. I imagine it comes down to survival for some of us, just as it does for a "woman-from-birth" who is in the same situation.
As for my own romantic life? All I will say is I am loved, and will leave it at that. Ypu have no more right to ask me about the details of my romantic life than I do of you.
TED is a great place to learn about things, and perhaps one day, someone will do a TED Talk about it. I appreciate that a blog isn't going to work for everyone, and I myself have decided to wait for a while.Jan 9 2013: Well, let's see, Kendra, you answered my question below, but it didn't seem like you really answered it. I know that transgendered women would occupy all kinds of positions. What I wondered was if the way a transgendered woman would prostitute herself would be any different from how a woman-from-birth would.
How actually do you think the life of a transgendered woman is different from a woman-from-birth woman?
Do you think there's a "psychology" of men who want a romance with transgendered women? What might it be? Would they have to be more "open-minded" than men who want a woman-from-birth woman?
How successful is your romantic life?
I appreciate the chance to ask some questions. It is an unusual life you've chosen. I don't think I'd read a blog on this subject, somehow I'm more interested in asking about it on TED, somehow it just fits into the broader stream of interesting ideas on TED.Jan 1 2013: I want to go on record that my blog is not aimed to "convert" people about transgender issues. I merely seek to provide some factual information in the hope that people can be a bit more tolerant about us.
I would request that peoples responds be based on my original post, so we can keep things on topic.
Jan 2 2013: Sorry for not responding, I don't seem to be getting any post updates and it is the Holidays. I actually threw at you what you might come across in your future blog. I roam a lot in my countries blogs and trangenderism is not really a big issue, being gay is rather than transgender, Why? i suppose it's got to do with the fact that one of our groups of races has it in their culture and so it is not a big issue but it is within our European cultures.
One thing i have come across is there are a group of politically minded people that want to change sexual perspectives with overtones of racial equality mixed into it. Strange? Yes it is and considered absurd until you get amongst the liberal extremists that haunt a lot of blogs pedaling Obama new world except before him it was Bushes new world order or Clintons new world order or Bush seniors new world order and so on and so on right back to the founding of the country. Nuts?, it is but be ready for "The Blind Knights" that might come to inhabit your blog. The opposite might come to haunt it as well but if your smart you might be able to manage them by keeping them in constant dialogue over issues they feel are important.
Good luck, I hope you you attract a lot of controversy within our generation. Ah to be young today, they have it all.Dec 31 2012: Well, it's okay with me if you start one, although I tend to think we are already getting a lot of information about this subject, here in the U.S. we see much buzz on gay rights and gay marriage.
Often I pick up a free newspaper here in Los Angeles called "L.A. X-press," which is available on newsracks around the city. It has news articles and then ads for people, women and transgender women, who seem to suggest they are prostitutes. Maybe I wonder what the life of a transgender prostitute is like, if it's any different from a "regular" prostitute.
Jan 1 2013: I have met transgendered people are bankers, cooks, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, oilfield workers, pastry chefs, and yes, even prostitutes. Those who enter into the sex trade are often forced to do so because there are fewer opportunities for regular employment than anything else. It is not so much a "choosing" of a career as it is a lack of options.Dec 31 2012: I don't get it, you are either transgendered or conflicted until you choose transgendered, Please don't start a blog with the intent to educate the world that what you might be feeling might be due to the fact that you are a part of the new breed of human that can choose at will what they are whenever they want.
Don't think that since you belong to a minority that you will need government funding on the same level as a race of people within a majority of other races? Sexual identity and preference does not grant you racial rights because you don't come from a common line of one race as identified from markers passed down from mother to daughter.
You live in a democracy? then you have just as much right to vote as the rest of us that do, the only difference with you is how you feel from within about who and what you are.
A biographical blog of your personal journey will help others of your persuasion who might be going through what you have been through but i can't honestly see where there is still much more work needs to be done?
How is your plight more than say the recognition of The American Indian? Guess what? My country is paying organizations of representatives of my race for wrongful confiscation of native land and most of my country hate it but it is necessary to move on to whatever our country might be, i hope for the best that it will level the field and we can get past the past.
It's confrontational but i'm sure you have come up against worse.
Jan 1 2013: Frankly Ken, I am unsure how to respond to this. You went far off topic, and signalled biases on many levels and towards many groups. Obviously you see us as a threat. I can see no better reason to start a blog than to try to counter some of your rhetoric.

Comments On May 10, 2013:I bought this lever for my dirt bike and noticed a huge difference in the smooth pull on the clutch.

Comments On Apr 17, 2012:I have these levers for about a year and they still are as good as new after taking a few hard crashes.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 10, 2011:Broke the stock perch, messed around with a couple of cheap lever/perch combos. When you dump the bike a couple of times they either break, the adjuster quits working, and they just generally get trashed out. ASV is a quality product. It fit perfectly on my '05 CRF450R and has a nice feel. Hot start is easier to use than stock. Have used for 5 months, been through a few crashes, still looks and works great. No complaints at all.

Comments On Jul 05, 2011:These clutch levers are very expensive! I bought mine a while ago, and it broke on a simple fall. I laid my bike down on the track and the clutch lever broke. (The actually little spring thing inside) So now I have to buy an entire new one. For how expensive these things are, you think they would hold up better!

Comments On Jun 08, 2011:Absolute perfection, no wonder everyone buys ASV. You won't be disappointed.

Comments On Mar 12, 2011:i'm not sure if my clutch pull is actually lighter, but it feels like it. moving the hot start underneath the bar acually lets you use the quick adjust dial.

Comments On Dec 27, 2010:Excellent finish, ASV products are high quality. I installed on an '06 CRF250R. Perfect replacement for stock with hot start without any mods. The hot start lever is mounted flush on the bottom of the ASV clutch bracket and rotates outwards towards the grip, it's a clean look and convenient placement, however look first to make sure you don't have any handgaurd mounts between the grip and clutch mount that might interfere with the hot start lever rotation (The kill switch is ok). My existing aftermarket handgaurd setup happened to be a prob I so just repositioned that guard mount.

Comments On Jan 12, 2010:Awesome Clutch lever! Had it for about a year without any problems.

One game of the 2011 season sticks out to Pittsburgh Pirates fans.
The Pirates lost 4-3 to the Atlanta Braves in a game which started on July 26 and didn't end until the early morning hours of July 27 when a missed call at home plate allowed the winning run to score for the Braves.
MLB later acknowledged the call was missed by home plate umpire Jerry Meals.
Daniel McCutchen ended up being the losing pitcher that night but only after he pitched 5 1-3 innings and allowed just that one run at the end of the game. He said the atmosphere itself was a fun one.
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader basketball team raised their record to 2-0 on the young season as they won their home opener last night over the Johnsonburg Ramettes by a 52-39 score.
After Elk Catholic took a 17-8 first-period lead, the Ramettes battled back in the second quarter to take a slim 24-23 lead at the half.
The second half found Elk Catholic outscoring Johnsonburg 29-15 to win the game.
Eric Matheson eclipsed 1,000 career points and the game ended in a victory.
A perfect night for Ridgway boys basketball.
Ridgway used a suffocating full-court press and a long third-quarter run as Ridgway won 74-53 over Smethport Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School.
From the attention given to the Elker senior point guard after the game, there was little doubt whose night this was.
JOHNSONBURG – Behind the white-hot trio of Cameron Grumley, Quinn Luhr and Cole Peterson, the Johnsonburg Rams never trailed Tuesday night in a 52-35 runaway victory over visiting Elk County Catholic.
The Rams used a quick 10-2 start to open the game and kept at least a double-digit lead since the 5:55 mark of the second quarter en route to an unblemished 2-0 start.
JOHNSONBURG – The Rams (1-0) jumped out to an insurmountable 20-point lead Friday night in a lights-out 60-35 win Friday night in their home opener over county rival St. Marys (0-1).
Johnsonburg had three players in double figures as sophomore guard Cameron Grumley paced all scorers with 17 points; he was complemented by junior forward Quinn Luhr, who chipped in 14, and junior guard Mitchell Holmberg, who tallied 10 points on the night.
Elk County Catholic opened the girls basketball season with a 43-9 victory over Ridgway Friday night at Ridgway Area High School.
ST. MARYS – The Johnsonburg Ramettes handed the St. Marys Area Lady Dutch basketball team a 41-35 non-league loss last night at the SMAHS Dutch Oven in the opening game of the 2011-12 season for both squads.
This was the first game in four years that the Lady Dutch have played without the school's all-time scorer, Kayla Hoohuli, now a member of the Canisius College Golden Griffs basketball team.
Last night's game was a close contest for 32 minutes as neither team was able to get a run. The Ramettes led 11-10 after one period, 20-18 at the half and 28-27 at the end of three quarters.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg wrestling team is looking to the upcoming season with optimism with a mix of new and returning wrestlers.
"We should be a competitive young team," Johnsonburg coach Mike Votano said. "We have three kids that have wrestled previously who haven't wrestled in the past couple years but they're back out on the team."
Zebb Zilcosky will be wrestling at 126 pounds and Votano said he has high expectations for him along with Cory Schneider at 138 pounds.
Ridgway gymnastics will field a smaller amount of roster members this season and will have a solid core of seniors this season.
"We have a smaller team, we have 11 this year and five are seniors," Ridgway coach Edna Maddalena said. "This is probably the best mesh, the best group of girls with us getting along and helping each other in the gym that we've had."
SHIPPENVILLE – Five players who were first team All American Awards & Engraving D9Sports.com All-District selections a year ago headline the 2011-2012 All American Awards & Engraving D9Sports.com Preseason All-District boys' and girls' basketball teams.
Boys' Pre-Season All-District 9 Team

Hi to all
My name Is Becky and I usually look at this message board with dave (dabar39).
A while back I saw someones girlfriends pictures and it got me interested in doing some metal work. Dave has been trying to teach me how to do it when he's got some spare time and thats not very often. Anyways, I thought I would show off what I've learned so far. These are some brackets I made with his scroll tool thingy for hanging hurricane lamps. This is my attempt at gas welding, he's making me start with this because he says it will make me do the rest easier, I don't know if hes lying to me so I don't mess up his other welders or if hes telling the truth, either way I guess I gotta trust him. Don't be afraid to tell me what you think, Dave said I did good and he likes them, I'm hoping hes not just saying that so he doesn't hurt my feelings, I won't learn that way. Becky

new here sort of
As you gain experience..........your projects will look less blurry
Not bad not bad at all
Make two more and put them out side for hanging baskets just off the front porch or on each side of the patio doors and hang lights off them.You'll fit in here just fine with that kind of creativity.
As you gain experience..........your projects will look less blurry
LOL thats great.

camera work
This is Dave's camera and I don't know how to change the settings and what not. I'll see if I can get him to take better pictures when he gets home from the shop tonight. I already was thinking about making some for outside and having him powder coat them for me so they won't rust.

If you can see it in the pictures I had to hang them unpainted right now, he's been so busy at the shop that he hasn't been able to teach me how to paint properly yet.
You just can't trust a woman to listen to ya!
Becky, I told you to stay in your cage til I got home tonight
I'll help you with the pics tonight when I get home, just remind me and don't get mad if I forget about them.
Hey guy's, She's not doing too bad for the limited time I have spent with her. She's really excited that I made the finals in the weekend welder challenge and is already talking about building something to out do my project for next year. Gotta love a challenge like that. We already have a side bet about it too. DaveIf necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

The Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School wrestling team had more individual winners than Damascus during Saturday's Montgomery County Wrestling Tournament at Montgomery Blair.
The Barons collected four gold medals and the Swarmin' Hornets won three, but Damascus' depth allowed it to record 212.5 points to earn the team championship. B-CC earned 182 points to finish second and Northwest placed third with 158.
"We had an unbelievable [tournament] this weekend. We're so proud of them," said Damascus coach John Furgeson after Saturday's award ceremonies. "I appreciate all of the hard work these kids have done for us and it's just exciting to be a part of it. They've done all the work that we've asked them to do and they've bought into what we are trying to accomplish."
Damascus won the Class 4A/3A state dual meet championship last week.
Sophomore 106-pounder Mikey Macklin, classmate Michael Wilkinson (120) and senior Caleb Baisden (170) were all gold medal finishers for Damascus. The Swarmin' Hornets also racked up plenty of points with four second-place finishers — sophomores Cory Obendorfer (126), Owen Brooks (138) and Johnny Fischer (152) and senior Michael Scafate (195).
B-CC seniors Sean Cohen (126) and Charlie Banaszak (138), junior Justin Elwell (145) and senior Jesse McNeill reached the winners' platform. Northwest senior 220-pounder Luis Beteta and Thomas S. Wootton senior Ralph Bernardo (195) maintained their respective perfect records — 33-0 and 35-0 — with title round victories.
Bernardo blanked Scafate, 9-0, in a match where Bernardo controlled it from the start.
"I wrestled [Scafate] before in the Damascus Holiday Tournament and I pinned him in the second period, but he's a hard guy to beat; ask anybody who [has] wrestled him," said Bernardo. "Today, I had my strength, my speed, I got an early takedown, and just took it from there. [Coming in undefeated], I was a little nervous earlier in the week, but then I started cooling off and concentrating."
Northwest 132-pound senior Ainsley Garvey recorded the lone pin of the championship round over Blair senior upstart Chuck Onwuzuruike in 1 minute, 30 seconds. Fellow Jaguar Nick Davis earned the title at 113 with a 4-1 win over Wootton's Austin Tritto.
Paint Branch showed its strength in the middleweights, as K.C. Hill (152) and Malik Kelly (160) won individual titles.
It took four overtime periods for Walter Johnson's Innocent Okocha to edge Wootton's Josh Strauss in the 285-pound final.
The Swarmin' Hornets can now turn their focus to the final two postseason tournaments.
"We're still very young, and we've had a couple of injuries along the way, and hopefully we can keep that in mind as we get ready for the next weekend," Furgeson said. "We can't take anything for granted."

Recipe by Beth Sigworth
"My husband loves all of my cookie recipes, but this one is his all time favorite!! Very rich, and full of peanut butter flavor. When I bake these, the cookie jar empties out really fast!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
butter, softened
1/2 cup
butter flavored shortening
1 cup
white sugar
1 cup
packed brown sugar
1 cup
creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
I don't have the biggest sweet tooth in the world but I'll never pass up a good peanut butter cookie and these was more than just good, they were excellent. I also added more P.B. then called for. Just a hint to avoid the sticky and messy job of measuring the peanut butter: If a recipe calls for l cup of peanut butter, fill a measuring cup with one cup of water and start dropping spoonfuls of P.B. into the water until the water level reaches 2 cups. The P.B. won't mix with the water and you'll end up with a perfect cup.
HELPFUL SUGGESTION AFTER TRYING THIS SEVERAL TIMES: This one is okay, but nothing like the rest of her recipes that I have tried ...which ROCK your tummy!!! I tried this trusting I'd make my many guests happy. They ate a few but weren't impressed. Made a different one from this site for a potluck of 300 people, and they said they were SO MUCH better (joey's)! Update: Following the suggestions of others below, I did this again because I'm always wanting to bake ...and it's still nothing special and not the desired consistency I like in a pb cookie.
665 Ratings
Well , I really did not think this recipe sounded that exciting, but my kids wanted Peanut Butter cookies so we tried it and we loved them!!! I altered the recipe, as others suggested, and used 1 cup of butter and no shortening, I added an additional 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 1/2 cup of flour. They don't flatten too much when cooking so you can put a lot on one cookie sheet. I baked for 9 minutes and they don't really look done, but they are. They turned out PERFECT! These were delicious! Great with a glass of milk. I made half plain and added chocolate chips on top of the other half. I posted a picture if interested. Thank you for this recipe...it's a keeper! If you liked these, try the Peanut Butter Cup Cookies recipe.
Mmmm, tasty! I didn't have any butter or shortening on hand, so I used margarine instead. I also added an extra 1/2 cup of peanut butter and rolled the cookies in sugar before baking. The cookies didn't really spread (probably because I used margarine), but I actually liked the crispiness of the ridges. In addition, I used natural creamy peanut butter, which doesn't have any sugar in it (unlike Jif and Skippy), so I would recommend natural PB if you prefer a cookie that isn't too sweet. I think next time I'll try crunchy peanut butter for a little extra oomph. :) By the way, I posted a photo of the finished product in case anyone's curious.
While these are good, and there is certainly no tweaking necessary, I only rate a recipe five stars if it is absolutely outstanding and somehow sets itself apart from others. I added two chopped King Size Mr. Goodbars and loved it. Again, good recipe, just not extraordinary.
Wow, totally yummy! I only tried this recipe because I thought if your snickerdoodles were that good, these have got to be okay too. Sooooo yummy. Thank you. I did add a little more peanut butter but still my arms are raised as I bow to you and say "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy".
All hale the queen of cookies, and please post some more. Yummy!
Yay Ms. Sigg! I have tried all of your cookies and you never let me down!:-) For this recipe I did make some adjustments though. I added about 1/2 cup more of peanut butter. I also added half creamy and half crunchy and that really added to the cookie! Loved it! Lastly, I put a layer of chocolate chips on half the batch right before I put it in the oven. Mmmm, perfect with a glass of milk.:-) Thanks again! Ally
2-25-07 Made again today on a rainy, gloomy day. They were STILL amazing! I added milk chocolate chips and 1/8 of a cup of cocoa to the last half of the dough. Yummy! This made for a great lunch (cookie dough and all!):-)
I only rate and review a recipe if it is either really good or really bad, and this one is REALLY GOOD! Best PB cookies ever, and mine looked nothing like the photo, mine were perfectly round professional looking cookies. They look and taste like they come from a fine bakery. Thanks for sharing Beth, these are awesome !

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Wynton Marsalis Discussion → Wynton Marsalis Discussion → Thread
I finally met him!! He is my god…whoa am I soo lucky!
Congratulations Amy !
Where did you meet him ?
I met him funny enough, in my home town in howard county md. his lincoln center jazz band was in town and i caught the show and was the only fool in love with him enough i guess to sneak back stage. i figured it would of been worth a month in jail at least anways :O)
Hey Amy, that's funny because I think I was at the show too. I didn't go to the concert, I just went backstage and Wynton and this other guy and me jammed to blue train. It was fun fun.
wow that's awesome. i was back there for a while and didn't see or hear any playing going on, but i must of left before they got started. when did that happen. did you just bring your horn with you and start playin along lol?
One of the reasons why I like Wynton (and LCJO) is they are friendly and approachable. The make you feel truly welcome. You get the feeling that they appreciate you coming out to hear them play. After most shows he will meet with people and no matter how badly he is mobbed - he is always patient and charming.
I saw Wynton at the Kennedy Center in DC this past Sunday. I play trumpet and I asked him a few questions about some problems I was having. He told me to bring my horn next time he was in town and he would help me out. Later he was playing the piano and singing the blues in his dressing room. I was encouraged to join in a chorus. It was really cool. We need more artists as giving as Mr. Marsalis and LCJO.

Pet Project
The Wisconsin Humane Society brings in a pet available for adoption and also talk about pets. Plus, the ever increasing role they have in our lives. Many people think that if they can't volunteer or give large donations, then they won't be able to help the animals at the Wisconsin Humane Society. This couldn't be further from the truth; there are tons of ways to support WHS, many of which are free.
