CLEVELAND -- It's a big boom getting a lot of attention. Wednesday morning, East 6th Street and Rockwell Avenue exploded with action on the set of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."
But before filming a pyrotechnic scene where a fireball blasted into cop cars, many of those cars, trucks and SUVs came from right here.
"They needed some cars and they needed them quickly," said Bill Burke, with the Spitzer Management Group. While you likely buy a car one at a time, Captain America bought 40 from Spitzer dealerships around Northeast Ohio.
"They wanted to use them to be driving in the scenes, some are going to be parked, parked along the streets and some are going to be blown up," said Burke.
In fact, Wednesday morning's explosion included a white Chevy Impala purchased from Spitzer as a police car. The vehicles are customized with printed car wraps. Over at a garage on Prospect, Liquid Image transformed black and white cruisers to the fleet of the Washington D. C. police.
Owner Mike Wiertel says they also remade the inside of several black Cadillac Escalades to Samuel L. Jackson's character, Nick Fury's specifications, replacing wood trim with metallic interior.
While the cameras are rolling, the money keeps coming back to Northeast Ohio and its businesses.
"This helps us tremendously. We were able to move 40 cars that we were going to wholesale anyway. It turns money quickly, it's good for them, it's good for us," said Burke.
"It does help the economy when they come into Cleveland."
"We want to make sure that we make it easy for them to do business here so they can come back," said Mayor Frank Jackson, who visited the set Wednesday afternoon. Jackson had a brief meet and greet with Samuel L. Jackson, who tweeted a photo of the two, writing "The Jackson's puttin' it Down in Cleveland!# da Mayor!!"
"I actually have an appreciation for what actors have to go through to make things look so real," said Mayor Jackson. "And the amount of time that the producers have to spend on the set, the kind of money they spend just for a few seconds, it's an amazing operation."
Production is expected to continue on E. 6th through Saturday. Portions of "Captain America: Winter Soldier" are being filmed from now through mid-June throughout the city.
A big chase sequence is expected to be filmed beginning next week on the West Shoreway. The filming will shut down the highway between Lakewood and East 9th for about two weeks.

I know we have a country thread, an introduction thread, and a couple of other threads about demographics, but I was wondering what people use to program- just idle curiousity.
Personally, I use Delphi 7 and 2006 (toying with the idea of getting 2009), C# (WinForms and WebForms) 2.0 and 3.5 Framework, and still have a bit of left over classic ASP out there (using a combination of JavaScript and VBScript). I've been toying with the idea of learning Ruby or Perl or even PHP, but keeping up with the tech I know is exhausting enough. I'm also thinking about getting into AIR or Silverlight, but haven't decided which yet.

Was this review helpful? Yes No bose mie2 mobile headset Written By Richard, channelview texas on Friday, January 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Purchased my bose Headphones almost a month ago. So far I am very please with the product considering how many other companies have audio equipment out. I choose bose because of the numerous reviews and great reputation. I believe I made the right choice. They sound great with all types of music and I can wear them for hrs and hardly notice they are there. Will definitely upgrade to the noise cancelation pair they have now im sure if they will be well worth the money. Pros: Great sound quality. Very comfortable. Compatible with my android device. (Galaxy S4) great with all types of music. Also comes with 3 different size rubber ear pieces which are simple to change out and a very nice carrying case. The cost verse quality is fair for sure. Ive had many other brands and paid alot more for other headphones but these are great all around. Enjoy music it makes life move! Cons: I think the product is well thought out and put together pretty solid but they get scratches on the outside of earbuds fairly easy. And im very very careful with my electronic equipment. Also the rubber ear pieces break they are easy to put on but be careful taking off Ive broken 2 pair. I had to order another set. You get 2 pair of whatever size you choose for 4.50 plus shipping. Not so bad I guess. Was this review helpful? Yes No Comfort and Great sound Written By John B., Hubbard, Ohio on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I needed a pair of earphones that I could run with, that stayed in place , was comfortable and sounded good. I've tried several kinds (behind the ear, over the ear) and am very pleased with the Bose. The silicone tips cannot be felt and hold thru sweat. A great product. Pros: Comfortable, good sound and stayed in place. Cons: None-really. Was this review helpful? Yes No Bose MIE2 ear buds Written By Jennifer, Chandler, AZ on Monday, January 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality These buds are pricey for what you get. Love the colors and durability of the chord but it allows so much outside noise in. We are motorcycle riders and these do not fit with a helmet on, either. Would be great for just casual listening and hanging out in the house but not for this price. :-( Pros: Durable, attractive (coolness), ok comfort, clear sound Cons: Outside noise filter, fits loose on ears, not good for motorcycle riders Was this review helpful?

Yes No Great all around headset Written By WAM, Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received the MIE2 mobile headset as a father's day present and as a replacement for a Sennheiser sport headset that I had for a couple of years. The MIE2 has just as good of a sound and is more comfortable in the ears. The earpieces stay in place while working out and are comfortable for extended periods. I also use them has a headset for my android phone and the phone calls are clear and I've heard no complaints about how it sounds on the other end of the call. Only complaint is the length of the cord. I like to carry my phone in my pocket and this doesn't leave much slack for movement. The Sennheiser has a longer cord for one ear and works well once you get the hang of it. Overall I can highly recommend this headset. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Better than expected! Written By Peter O, MA on Thursday, June 23, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just received these today and plugged them into my Sprint EVO phone to listen to music. The sound is fantastic, no comparison to the phones speaker. Im so glad I got these as I was a little skepticle about purchasing Bose for my phone but after listening to the first song I was estactic and it was well worth the money. I highly recommend these. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Bose MIE2 Earbuds Written By John D., Redding, CA on Saturday, April 09, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) In spite of my average rating I got about what I expected with this product from Bose and I will keep them. I used them for the first time while snow skiing yesterday and they fulfilled my requirements. That is, they stayed put and were comfortable in the ear canal, period. A plus was that the ear bud microphones for the phone worked well while receiving and talking on my Droid. If that is all you require of ear buds, then these may be the ones for you. If on the other hand you think that just because you paid a lot of jack that you are going to get exceptional sound quality, spend your money on a different product. Bose doesn't include critical specifications on their audio products for a reason. You won't find base. To own Bose products you have to enjoy mid-range sound for the most part. I agree w/ the other reviewer that it would be nice to have a volume control. In addition, you are not going to get sealed sound, but that can be okay when riding up a chairlift or listening for skiers closing on you. Cord length was ample for a tall person and overall quality seemed okay, but almost all ear buds are somewhat delicate. Overall: A lot of money for what they are and not for the person expecting an exceptional audio experience. Comfortable. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Finally a headset for music and a phone conversation Written By Matthew B, Louisville KY on Thursday, February 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I own my own company, which means I have to have my phone with me at all times and have to answer when it rings. That makes going for a run or working out inconvenient. The stock iPhone headsets fall out of your ears, and nicer "better sounding" headsets don't have a mic for answering calls. After some searching I decided to try these. I've been impressed. I find the quality of my stock iPhone headset quite good, but it just isn't made for more than casual use, and certainly not for running. Still, it makes a good standard to measure against. The ear pieces are a bit strange to look at, but actually fit in my ears very well. They are comfortable, stay put, and sound very good. No, you won't get earth shaking bass, but overall they are a substantial improvement over the stock iPhone headset. Other callers say my voice is quite clear, and I'd rate the clarity of my voice on calls equal to that of the stock iPhone headset. Now if I get a call while exercizing I can realistically take it, and have even continued running for some personal calls. I've only had these about a month, so cannot speak to longevity. But to date I'm very happy with the purchase. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing Little Headphones Written By V, Providence on Tuesday, September 14, 2010 These tiny little headphones have terrific sound quality. Although they are not designed for noise dampening, with the proper fit they reduce external noise quite a bit. I am very happy with my purchase. My only (very minor) disappointment is the headphones do not have their own volume control. The lowest output volume on my cellphone is slightly louder than I prefer to listen to music, so being able to adjust that with the headphones would have been ideal. 10 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The Bose mobile in-ear headset provides quality Bose sound from your mobile phone while offering one-touch switching between your music and your phone calls, using the inline answer/end button and microphone. The Bose mobile in-ear headset offers a comfortable fit design with three sizes of contoured ear-tips. The Bose mobile in-ear headset is compatible with the Apple iPhone, as well as a variety of other popular mobile phones. TriPort Acoustic Structure: Bose proprietary TriPort technology allows the drivers of the Bose In-Ear (MIE2) headphones to create deep lows while keeping the headphones small and lightweight. The result is comfortable headphones that deliver full, balanced low notes of your music. Enhanced Acoustic Design: The Bose In-Ear (MIE2) headphones utilize an enhanced acoustic design which incorporates a new port to help music sound smoother and more natural. In-Ear Design: The Comfortable in-ear design gives you earbud-style headphones with soft silicone ear-tips that rest gently and securely in your ears. The headphones are marked with left (L) and right (R) markings for easy identification. Silicone Ear-Tips: The Bose headphones come supplied with "StayHear" silicone ear-tips in three sizes (S/M/L) to help assure a more accurate fit that's comfortable and stable. Proprietary "StayHear" silicone ear-tips offer greater in-ear stability during exercise and other active sports. Advanced materials and design allow the tips to nestle inside the bowl of the ear, while also naturally conforming to the ear's upper ridge. "StayHear" tips also are designed to remain more securely on the headphone itself. Overall, they provide a better on-the-go listening experience. Note: Do not attempt to wear the headphones without the ear-tips. Hands-Free Talking: When your phone rings, just push the integrated answer/end button on the headset's cable to pause your music and take the call. The omnidirectional mic on the back of the answer/end button picks up your voice clearly, so there is no need to hold it to your mouth. The other party is heard through the headset's earbuds. You can end the call with one more touch of the button, and your music continues from where you left off. Single Earpiece Compatible: The Bose mobile in-ear headset can be used with only the right (R) earpiece in your ear. This allows you to take calls and still hear surrounding sounds. Mobile Phone Compatibility: The Bose MIE2 headset is compatible with iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, and most popular mobile phones.

Why would i waste time and effort trying to engage you in intelligent debate when you have demonstrated time and again you're incapable of such a thing? You throw your zingers, or attempts at zingers, out there and when you do try to post something of substance, you usually end up ridiculed or ignored. You want effort from me? Put something out there worth talking about. Until then, i'm sure you'll continue to be the worthless partisan hack you have shown yourself to be....now, if you'll excuse me, i have a New Years even thing to go to.....so y'all be safe, have fun and for Gods sake don't leave any unattended drinks around Spesh.
And Spesh...heres hoping you can reflect and mature enough to be worthy of real conversation. I doubt it will happen....but Hey Hell....why not?
See y'all Wednesday

If you're on the island, and are interested in getting together with a bunch of dolphins fans and getting drunk, yelling at the TV's, and cruising, then send me a message.
I'm in the process of making this happen. If you're willing to help me expand it and spread the word, I would certainly appreciate it...but just showing up is good enough!
We already have an awesome FSU fan club on the island...about 50 people strong. I envision the same for this eventually. Lets make it happen.

Thursday, April 15, 2004BOONE, N.C. (April 15, 2004) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team picked up another win over a Southern Conference win with their 4-3 victory over Appalachian State on Thursday afternoon. With the win ETSU improves to 14-11 overall and 5-4 in the conference. "It's always good to win a conference match on the road," stated head coach Steve Brooks. "I'm proud of how the girls played and that we were able to win the match early." ETSU walked away from doubles with the point off of wins at the No. 1 and 3 positions. Mariya Ilyina (Kyiv, Ukraine) and Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland) went 8-5 against Ania Gugger and Becky Gordan at No. 1. Appalachian State's Tammy Beaulieu and Lyndsey Free then picked up a win in No. 2 over Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia) and Jessica Irey (Clewiston, Fla.) in an 8-6 match.

I am considering whether to build a concession trailer out of steel. Here is a commercial example.
I would make it a frame of steel members and the side panels and roof would also be steel.
Are there any suggestions for a design?
The probable size would be about 8' wide (probably 8' 4'') and about 16 feet long (exclusive of the tongue and hitch) and the box (exclusive of the suspension members) would be about 8' high.
My thinking would be to build a frame for the side panels and roof and weld the plates onto the frame members. I am thinking to space the frame members somewhere between 2' and 4' apart. I am thinking of using either 14 gauge or 16 gauge steel for the plating. I am thinking I would have both outside panels and inside panels, both for the walls and the roof. I am thinking that the frame for the walls and the roof would be 2" square tubing of 14 gauge. What would be most appropriate? I would like it to be somewhat beefy, but I am a bit worried about it being too heavy.
My rough calculations are telling me that the basic box is likely to be well over 3000 pounds.
The base would be made of square tubing. Would 2" 14 gauge square tubing be sturdy enough?
I am thinking that it would probably require tandem axles.
Please give me any good ideas for design and construction that you have.
P.S. Suggestions such as "don't build your own trailer" are also valid.

I have . .
I have owned several concession trailers . . .
You have to ask yourself some basic questions first.
What will you be doing in it? Baking, frying, grilling, etc . . .?
Have you designed the interior layout?
You may want to consider a removable tongue.
I could go on, but lets get some basic info first . . .
As for "cheap" concession trailers, those are just cargo trailers with a sink.

I would also consider the possibility of including a griddle and/or fryer to allow for a secondary line of of product, but it may be better to keep it simple, in which case it would just be frozen custard.
Using a CAD program I have been sketching out some trailer layout ideas off and on for the last few months, but haven't settled on a definitive layout yet.

I found a project on this web site that is vaguely similar to what I had in mind.
Here are a couple of links to the project.
However, mine would need to be bigger. I would also do welded plating (probably 14 gauge) for the outside and inside surfaces. (It looks like he screwed panels on rather than welding them.)
I'm sure it would be a lot of work.
I am attaching a sketch of the concept for the floorplan.

Just one request from a future customer, make the awnings 7' high minimum. Curbs are about 6". When you pull up on the curb with a 6.5' awning, anyone over 6' needs to duck to order etc.
From someone that used to work in kitchen - the ultimate goal is a floor that you can pretty much hose out when it gets too dirty.Con Fuse!

I would tend to think there are used ones floating around for a fraction of the price? Look on ebay?

It was small, cramped, muggy...but it was one-in-a-million. It was a building that had so much sporting history and character, that no modern complex could match the memories and moments that happened there, Boston Garden, on the Parquet.
With this poster, you are transported back to an early-90s playoff matchup between the Celtics and the NBA Champion Detroit Pistons. Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Reggie Lewis and John Bagley are on the floor against Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer, John Salley, and Orlando Woolridge. The house is packed. Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every single detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually at the game. You can see every detail - in fact, if you may even be able to pick yourself or your friends out in the crowd! For those of you with fond memories of the Garden, this print belongs in a nice frame in a prominent place on your wall, perfect for home, office or locker room.

text: This protest is ridiculous. Has every dolphins fan really become so weak that they need to buy into all this media bull****?? Our team is actually trying to do it right this time and this is gow they get repaid? I'll tell you what the protesting will lead to...None other than TIM TEBOW. Now I know all you "geniuses" probably want him, but that's really the point I throw in the towel. The fans protesting are not helping the dolphins in any way, they are just helping prove the media right. I'm going to laugh at all you all when Ireland has this team competing for a chanpionsgip year in and year out. SO SERIOUSLY thus **** needs to stop now and all of us fans need to look forward to this draft and having Ryan Tannehill as our new qb.

Istanbul's Magical Mystery Tour
Download Now
"What happened to your head?" someone asked me on the plane heading home from Turkey. I'd been waiting for the question - after all, it was a rather rude red mark atop my forehead - and now, at last, I could answer, "I hit it on a yacht while sailing on the Bosphorus."
The Bosphorus. The name alone conjures up images of romance and mystery, scenes of intrigue and indolence and indulgence. Lined with Ottoman palaces and Italianate villas and imperial mosques, the Bosphorus is the strait that connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean and, thereby, one of the busiest seaways in the world. Less the dividing line between Europe and Asia, the Bosphorus serves as the connection between two continents - and two sides of one great city.
Years ago, as an adolescent, I read a paperback novel about characters who lived and loved in Istanbul, which they referred to as Byzantium and which served as a playground for their trysts and dalliances and which was rendered particularly magical and seductive to an adolescent yearning to see the world.
As I cruised down the Bosphorus on a recent sunny autumn afternoon, I thought again of that novel - and also of JFK, Jr. and his new wife Carolyn Bessette who honeymooned in Istanbul in 1996. It was JFK, Jr.'s mother, Jackie, who had returned to Turkey in 1985 and recommended Istanbul for a honeymoon - and the two newlyweds had ensconced themselves in the Sultan's Suite atop the Ciragan Palace Hotel along the European side of the Bosphorus.
Madonna stayed there, too, in the same palatial suite, telling the staff that no one was to have a key to her rooms - except for her boyfriend. Originally built in the late 19th century as a sultan's palace, the Ciragan Palace was reopened in 1992 after a checkered history that included a massive fire, as well as stints serving as the headquarters for the French military during World War I and the practice grounds for the Turkish football team.
A city of myriad layers, Istanbul has been the capital of four empires (Roman, Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman), thanks in good part to its strategic locale. What was once an ancient Greek city called Byzantion, and later Nova Roma, though more popularly known as Constantinople, Istanbul is the world's only city that encompasses two continents. The city is surrounded by water: not only the Bosphorus bisecting its two sides, but also the Marmara Sea to the south and the Golden Horn, a narrow inlet that divides the European side of Istanbul.
To stand in Sultanahmet Square, home to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the two most recognizable icons of Istanbul, is to see also the silhouettes of the obelisks from the Hippodrome of Constantinople - and to be reminded not only of chariot races but also of the passage of empires and time.
With a population of more than 13 million, the city of Istanbul, Turkey's largest, is almost twice as populated as New York, with an area nearly seven times as large as all five New York City boroughs. A walking tour through Kuzguncuk (meaning "little raven" in Turkish) on Istanbul's Asian side reveals a serene neighborhood filled with artists and architects and a pace of life more in keeping with Williamsburg than Manhattan. Men park themselves at tables on the sidewalk, playing checkers and sipping tea in the morning sun. Narrow streets are lined with wooden houses juxtaposed with stately mansions and vegetable gardens. At one point, we attract the attention of a trio of dogs who follow us, dutifully waiting in front of the shops and boutiques we visit. All morning, the dogs pad alongside us, attracting more dogs, until we are leading eight loyal canines through the hilly cobblestoned streets.
As the economic and cultural heart of Turkey, Istanbul is the world's tenth most popular destination. A center of arts and fashion, culture and history, with a median age of 23, Istanbul is also a university town with more than 150,000 students - and the goal of the recent inaugural Istanbul Design Biennial is to position the city as a global design capital.
This, after all, is the city that was the world's wealthiest at a time when Paris and London were little more than sleepy backwaters - and it was Napoleon who was reputed to have remarked that "if the earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital." Today, the city is home to more than thirty billionaires, making Istanbul the fifth most popular refuge for excessive wealth.
But then, what else could be expected from a town that created the world's largest covered bazaar with more than 4,000 shops in 1461? Today, the Grand Bazaar is as exhilarating and dynamic as the city's population. "Life is short; spend all your money," counsels one merchant as we enter. Another calls out, "I want to see you."
As the only secular Muslim state, Turkey is a study of contrasts. Five times a day, the call to prayer echoes throughout the city of Istanbul, even as the young and beautiful head off to shop and drink and party throughout the night. The great Greek poet Constantine P. Cavafy (whose parents were from Istanbul and who spent three years in the city before returning to Alexandria) must've appreciated the unabashed physicality of young Turkish males, their arms around each other, holding hands as they lean in close, laughing at something only the two of them share.
For those of us from the States, Istanbul has, for so long, represented the magical allure of the unknown: the bridge from our Occidental history into the otherworldliness of the Orient. Located at the nexus of human history, the 2,000-year-old city is a sprawling 700-square-mile metropolis studded with nearly 20,000 cultural sites that span the breadth of human civilization - from the city's nearly 1,000-year reign as the center of Christendom to its role as the Muslim caliphate for another 500 years.
While Turkey is a secular state with no official state religion, nearly 99% of the population of Istanbul, like the rest of Turkey, is Muslim. That fact, however, does not preclude the existence of numerous LGBT bars and nightclubs, some with backrooms and some for all-night dancing to the sounds of some of nightlife's most renowned international deejays. A plethora of nightlife options is available for the LGBT community including transgender parties and parties for Turkish bears and barely-legal rent boys. As with all great cities, if you seek it out, you'll find it.
It's worth remembering that at least 26 of the 36 sultans of the Ottoman Dynasty were poets - and that the royal households practiced painting, woodworking, writing poetry, and many other forms of art. In other words, the world's only city that straddles two continents serves to remind us how interconnected we are. The Bosphorus Bridge, built in 1973 as the world's first transcontinental bridge, serves as a beacon of our interconnectedness in the face of cartographers' boundaries and demarcations.
Currently, two suspension bridges span the Bosphorus, connecting Europe to Asia, with a third one planned. Arguably, the symbolism of the bridges is as meaningful as their practical import, for it isn't long after arriving in Istanbul that you recognize that the mystery and mysticism you might have been anticipating gives way to a dawning awareness of commonality. We are all seeking the same: striving for happiness and peace of mind.
One enchanted evening, I stood on a terrace at the Ciragan Palace, a glass of Champagne in my hand. The lights of the Bosphorus Bridge were blinking blue and shining bright. Below me, people walked arm in arm through the landscaped gardens and beneath the immense historic gates. "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" asked a server in the most gentle and sincere voice. Shaking my head, I turned to him and smiled as I raised my glass: to the Bosphorus, to Istanbul, to one the world's most beautiful cities.

Sir Jackie Stewart has reiterated his belief that Lewis Hamilton is taking a risk as Mercedes could pull out of F1 at any time...
Sir Jackie Stewart has reiterated his belief that Lewis Hamilton is taking a risk as Mercedes could pull out of F1 at any time.
Mercedes returned to Formula One as a fully fledged works team back in 2010 when the purchased the Championship-winning Brawn GP outfit.
So far, though, their comeback has been anything but successful with Mercedes claiming just one victory in three seasons.
And should they again fail to deliver, Stewart fears that Mercedes' staying-power could be tested which could leave Hamilton without a race-seat.
"I think Ross Brawn is a wonderful man. I think Daimler Benz is one of the greatest companies in the history of motorsport," Stewart told Autosport
"But they have to win. The Silver Arrow has to win.
"Whether it was Stirling Moss and [Juan Manuel] Fangio, whether it was [Rudolf] Caracciola and the other great drivers of the thirties, when Mercedes were in the sport they had to win.
"And if they don't win, they get out.
"That's the risk. If for whatever reason, they do not win, it's a five-minute board meeting decision with a bunch of people on the board who are not passionate about motorsport.
"They like the results if they win. If they don't win, it's yesterday. And that takes five minutes.
"If you were looking at it in a conservative fashion, you'd say 'I've got to stick with McLaren because I know they're always going to be racers'. They will never be out of motor racing."

East Tennessee State Downed By Middle Tennessee State, 12-3
Wednesday, April 10, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (April 10, 2002) - After a 13-run loss to East Tennessee State last night, Middle Tennessee State turned the tables on the Bucs this afternoon at Cardinal Park, taking a 12-3 win and a split of the two-game series. The Blue Raiders broke open a close game with consecutive four-run innings in the fifth and sixth and improved to 20-13. ETSU fell to 11-20 with the loss. MTSU started the scoring in the first, getting an unearned run off ETSU starter Mike Bauer (Kingsport, Tenn.) on a bases loaded groundout by Marshall Nisbett. East Tennessee State answered with two runs in the bottom of the inning to take the lead back. With one out, Jeremy Terry (Cumberland, Ky.) singled and Davis Burklin (Knoxville, Tenn.) walked to put two aboard. Brandon Cross (Bluff City, Tenn.) doubled home Terry and Burklin scored on a groundout off the bat of Kirk Keithley (Peoria, Ill.) to make it 2-1. The Blue Raiders came right back with a three-spot in the top of the second to take the lead for good. With two on and one out, Chuck Akers doubled to left center to score both runners. He then scored on a single by the next hitter, Nate Jaggers, and MTSU never looked back. From there on East Tennessee State could not get anything going against MTSU starter Travis Horschel, who went eight innings, his longest stint of the season, yielding three runs on nine hits to pick up his fourth win. Middle Tennessee State broke open the game with four runs in the fifth, highlighted by a three-run home run by Derek Phillips. The Blue Raiders added four more in the sixth, this time getting a three-run shot off the bat of Brett Carroll. Michael Giroud's (St. Petersburg, Fla.) two-out single in the eighth scored Ryan Hyder (Erwin, Tenn.) from second to account for the final ETSU run. Cross, Giroud, and Justin Clear (Lafollette, Tenn.) each had a pair of hits to lead ETSU's offense. Four players had two hits apiece for Middle Tennessee State, part of a 14-hit Blue Raider attack that featured three home runs and two doubles. Bauer took the loss for the Bucs, giving up four runs, one earned, in just 1.1 innings to start the game. Josh Kite (Greenville, Tenn.), Donnie Sharp (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) and Reid Casey (Kingsport, Tenn.) each threw an inning of scoreless relief. East Tennessee State will take Thursday off before swinging into action at home this weekend, hosting VMI in a three-game Southern Conference series. The first game will be held on Friday, April 12 at 7:00 p.m. at Cardinal Park.

Cancer and Your Parents [1]
Key Messages:
- Although talking with your parents about your diagnosis may be difficult, it is important to keep an open line of communication.
- Your parents may be able to help you with various situations you may face, both in the hospital and at home.
- Asking for help does not mean that you have lost your independence; it allows your parents to support you during a challenging time, which can bring positive changes to your relationship and increase your respect for each other.
A cancer diagnosis affects everyone in your family, including your parents. How this relationship changes will vary depending on the closeness of your relationship, your family's coping style in a crisis, and whether you have othersâsuch as a spouse or partner or close friendsâin your life who provide support.
After receiving a cancer diagnosis, you may feel that your parents become overprotective or that they are trying to take charge, even if you haven't lived with them for many years. They may want to talk to you frequently, ask a lot of questions, or give unsolicited advice. It is natural for your parents to want to protect you and take care of you when you are sick because that was their primary role for many years. Your parents are also dealing with their own emotions surrounding your cancer diagnosis, as well as those of your siblings and other family members.
Talking with your parents
Although it may be difficult, try to talk openly with your parents about what you're feeling and thinking, and ask them to do the same. Some young adults don't want to share their worries and fears with their parents because they feel guilty about potentially upsetting them. However, sharing your emotions and being clear about what you need allows you and your parents to work together to resolve problems and support each other.
Given the opportunity, your parents may be among your best sources of emotional support, and you may find that your relationship with your parents changes in positive ways. Your parents may gain respect for you as an independent adult, and your relationship may become more open and supportive.
Even with the best support, though, you may find that one parent or your spouse or partner wants to manage the situation by becoming an expert on the disease and controlling the information between you and the medical team. In these situations, it is important to be clear about everyone's roles and needs. For young adults with a spouse or partner, it is important to find a balance between receiving help from your spouse and from your parents. Some people find it helpful to meet with a family therapist or counselor [3] to resolve these concerns.
How your parents can help you
As a young adult, you are trying to become independent and may not feel comfortable relying on your parents. Be honest about your need for independence as you make your own decisions, but don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Let your parents know whether you want practical help or just someone to listen to you. Your parents likely have more experience than you do in some situations, such as dealing with doctors and insurance companies. Take advantage of their expertise, and allow them to help you in practical ways, including the following:
- Gathering information, doing research, and taking notes at doctors' appointments
- Making sense of medical bills and insurance statements
- Organizing your finances and medical records
- Keeping you company on trips to the hospital
- Doing household tasks, such as shopping, meal preparation, or laundry
- Responding to questions and phone calls from friends and other family members
Living arrangement options
Although some young adults live at home with their parents, many live in their own home or apartment. If you do not have a spouse, partner, or close friend who can help you at home, there may be times during your treatment when living alone becomes difficult. Consider asking a parent or another close family member to move in temporarily to help you. Some young adults choose to move back into their parents' home for a while. Moving in with your parents or another family member may feel like you are giving up your independence or like you are unable to take care of yourself. However, by making that move, you are taking initiative to ensure that your physical, emotional, practical, and financial needs are met, and you are giving your family a role in your care.

Face to Face with the Komodo Dragon
Posted on : 3 December 2012
Categories : Travelings - Adventure - Hiking, Trekking, and Eco - Sightseeing
Without a doubt, the Orangutan along with the Komodo dragon represents the wildlife highlights of Indonesia.
They are unique to this geography. If you want to see them in their native habitat, you have to get on a plane (or boat) and travel here. That's part of what makes a trip to Indonesia so rewarding.
On paper, the Komodo dragon wowed me with its impressive traits. In real life, the Komodo captivated, entranced, and even frightened me.
Basic Facts about the Komodo
The Komodo dragon is the largest species of lizard on earth. It can grow up to 3 meters long and weigh 70 kilos). It has a ferocious bite: complete with serrated teeth and toxic saliva. Komodos have attacked and killed humans.
These giants are only found on four islands of Indonesia and are protected in Komodo National Park. Existing in a 1:3 female to male ratio has proven interesting for the males, who fight to the death over mating rights. July and August are mating season. In September they lay eggs. Females often eat their own babies after they hatch. Born scared, hatchlings run immediately up trees and stay there to live for about the first seven years of their lives. Another thing, the male Komodo has a penis that branches into two (known as a hemipenis).
How did the Komodos become so big?
It's an evolutionary process called Island gigantism. The size of animals isolated on an island becomes dramatically bigger in comparison to their mainland relatives.
The Komodo is an example of a giant insular carnivore. These islands were too small to support much mammalian competition, and the Komodo just reigned as top predator for ages, snatching birds and little monkeys as it pleased. With the arrival of humans and associated predators, many giant island endemics have become extinct. Let's hope we can protect the Komodo.
Day One visiting the Komodos of Rinca Island
The day's visit took us to the island of Rinca, little more than an hour's speed boat ride from the port at Labuan Bajo. Rinca is part of Komodo National Park where about 2200 Komodos live. Besides the lizards, the park has water buffalo, macaques, and spitting cobras.
By the end of the day I was a little disappointed. We only saw three Komodos and due to the heat of the afternoon, they were just lying about under the houses of the national park staff.
While visiting Rinca, the park staff guided us along the short loop trail. We learned that Komodo dragons sometimes team up together and hunt water buffalo. They gorge themselves, eating the bones and all and can follow these feasts with two months of lounging about. You can see piles of their white feces, colored so from the digestion of bones. Sometimes they'll settle for a small goat or a macaque for a snack.
Along the hike we saw a nest of a female Komodo. They use the abandoned nesting mounds of the Orange-footed Scrubfowl. They have some peculiar seasonal arrangement in which the birds move out just before the huge lizards move in.
Day two on Komodo Island
I would remain optimistic for the following day. We hopped into a speedboat and cruised over, this time to Komodo Island. Here there are about the same number of Komodos as on Rinca. The species total numbers in all are about 4,600, the park's director, Susedyo Iriyno informed us, when we chatted later that evening back in town.
We asked him about the future of the park and the fate of the Komodo. He seemed optimistic. We wondered about the impacts of tourism.
"Right now we only see about 300 visitors per day, 100,000 per year. Ninety-five percent of those guests are foreign."
There are only two sites open for viewing the Komodo Dragons, but a third will open if tourism continues to grow.
"But won't that impact the habitat of the Komodos?" we wondered.
"There are three conservation zones, so the majority are well-protected and do not have daily contact with tourists." He continued. The Komodo is currently listed as a "vulnerable" species, just above endangered status. This means if the animals and their habitat are not cared for, they are at risk for being downgraded to "endangered".
At Komodo Island we docked and stepped ashore. I was disappointed to learn we wouldn't be trekking today (a downside of group travel). Hard to believe that we made such a great effort to reach this remote-island national park and would just be hanging around the park buildings and photographing the dragons there.
The big park map displayed a number of short hikes through the areas where it may be possible to see one of the numerous Komodos—only with a ranger of course. These lizards are dangerous, and a bite from their bacterial saliva could be fatal. If one were able to hike, the rangers both lead and follow the visitors with a split-end shaft, which keeps the lizards from attacking.
Instead of hiking, we hung around the main area, close to shore, photographing three of the beasts. Unfortunately, it felt like a zoo until we caught sight of one down on the beach. We were lucky because they don't normally venture there. But we took advantage of the incredible photo opportunity.
Visiting the Komodo dragons does take a lot of effort, but combining the chance to see such an exotic species in its native habitat along with the possibilities of world-class diving and snorkeling that surround Flores, I'd recommend getting here sooner rather than later.
How can I visit the Komodo Dragons?
First you'll have to head to Indonesia's Flores Island. Situated three big islands east of Bali, flights take about an hour from Denpasar's airport. The town of Labuan Bajo, on Flores, has developed as a base for expeditions setting out to visit Komodo National Park as well for diving and snorkeling. Here, you'll have to hire a boat or join a group traveling out to the islands to see the Komodo dragons.

1 1/2 teaspoons
baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons
cream of tartar
1 teaspoon
Caramel and Chocolate Topping:
pecan halves
1 (6 ounce) package
semi-sweet chocolate chips
A little time-consuming but a delicious and pretty cookie. Only thing to watch, the caramel will continue to spread, even after cooling. Some of the cookies ended up looking a little sloppy because of it. Keep them level.
They were ok but the cookie was a little to sweet for me. You also need a lot more than 30 pecan halves I think they might have ment 300.

Wow. NICE cookie. My only change was to change the chocolate to a chocolate ganache drizzle. This is a definite crowd pleaser!
These turned out great! A very pretty cookie.
I liked the idea of recreating the pecan turtle into a cookie so I added this to my Christmas cookie line-up this year. Since I was preheating the oven anyways I took the opportunity to toast the pecans on a baking sheet for 5-10m which really brought out the flavor and gave them crunch. Knowing I wouldn't have enough pecans I set out to only place one in each cookie center. For the cookie dough, I reduced the white sugar by 1/2 cup as one reviewer stated they were too sweet alongside the toppings. I wished I had also reduced the flour by 1/2 cup as they did not turn out as soft and chewy as I had hoped. I didn't see that comment until it was too late. The dough was remarkably easy to roll out and work with. I'm used to butter based recipes so it was nice not having to rush thru and continual chill the dough scraps. I rolled my second batch slightly thicker and baked exactly 5min because the first were not only dry and very crisp. I didn't have too much trouble with the caramel running off but next time I would wait for it to set a bit before placing the pecan in the center. They had a tendency to get dragged off to the side. Just don't want too long so the caramel isn't too hard. All and all definitely a good looking cookie that will round out my Christmas platter. Next time I'll heed this advice to improve the cookie texture.
For some reason rolling out cookie dough is something I have not been able to be successful at. After chilling the dough I dropped by rounded tablespoons on to the cookie sheet. Then flattened with the bottom of a small class dipped in flour. After cooling I put on the caramel, then one half of a pecan and drizzled with chocolate. -YUM
Cookie was a huge hit. Next time I make it I will reduce flour by 1/2 C...dough was too dry. You need at least 3X the pecans the recipe shows. You need more chocolate. I will also make my own caramel
Too sticky on your teeth, but good tasting!

Four track and field members awarded for academic success through career seasons
MACON, Ga. (March 2, 2012) – The Atlantic Sun Conference unveiled its first-ever men's and women's indoor track and field Academic All-Conference Teams on Thursday, with ETSU junior thrower Jasmine Foster (Johnson City, Tenn.) and sophomore jumper Lexie Burley (Johnson City, Tenn.) landing on the women's team, and senior throwers Justin Burton (Bastian, Va.) and Cornell Sneed (Miami, Fla.) earning spots on the men's team.
The A-Sun's Academic All-Conference Teams are comprised of student-athletes who embody the conference's mission of Building Winners for Life. Each member of the team carries a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.30 and has competed in at least half of its team's contests.
Foster boasts a 3.598 GPA in Physical Education, and has competed in all five of ETSU's meets during the indoor season. In those meets, the Science Hill product earned a combined seven top 10's and five top fives in the weight throw and shot put. Foster's best finishes were a third place weight throw at the Appalachian Collegiate Indoor (Dec. 2-3) and a third place shot put with a personal best 13.22m launch at the A-Sun Indoor Championships (Feb. 17-18). She also set her personal best in the weight throw with a 16.20m mark at the Niswonger Invitational (Jan. 27-28).
Burley, another former Science Hill track and field star, carries a 3.88 GPA in Exercise Science and also competed in all five of the Buccaneers' indoor meets. The Johnson City native set her personal best in the long jump (5.55m) at the Penn State Sykes and Sabock Challenge Cup (Feb. 4) and also set a new personal mark in the triple jump (12.22m) at the Virginia Tech Invitational (Jan. 13-14). Burley combined for eight top 10's and four top fives in the two events, including winning the triple jump at the A-Sun Indoor Championships, and is ranked No. 1 in the A-Sun in the triple jump.
Burton competed in four events for ETSU and holds a 3.32 GPA in Sport Management. In his senior indoor season, Burton earned three top fives and set new personal bests in both the weight throw and shot put. The Bastian, Va. native set both of his career marks inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center with a 15.23m shot put at the Niswonger Invitational and a 15.20m weight throw at the A-Sun Indoor Championships. Both performances earned Burton fourth in the events.
Sneed competed in all five events, setting personal bests in each of the throws while also hauling a 3.752 GPA as a Criminal Justice major. The 6-foot senior went through the indoor season earning six top 10's and two top fives, saving his best performances for the A-Sun meet. At the indoor championships, Sneed earned a spot on the podium with a personal best 15.75m weight throw to take third place, and set his personal best in the shot put as well with a 15.05m toss to take fourth in the event.
The Bucs will now send seven men and six women to the Virginia Tech Last Chance Qualifier, set to take place in Blacksburg, Va., on Saturday.

Jai Yun -- yea or nay? [San Francisco]
We have lived in Taipei, have visited the mainland several times over the past 20 years, eat various Chinese cuisines every week in NYC, and particularly love Jiangzhe food (Suzhou/Shanghai/Hangzhou area).
Have looked at threads here and reviews on Yelp of Jai Yun, and have seen everything from the most amazing Chinese food ever to might as well be airplane food. Not wanting to waste a meal in SF, should this place be on our list, or not? Any guidance would be appreciated.
My wife and I have been to China 15 or 16 times; we stay several weeks each visit. Hence we have eaten a lot of Chinese food. We think eating at Jai Yun is almost as good as eating in China.
I'd like to know which airline serves food like Jai Yun. I haven't been to China but it's the best Shanghai food I've had.
I think it would be wise to order the lower cost menu the first time and to reserve at least a day in advance. I think we went the same day as our reservation and opted for the costlier menu but to no appreciable effect. Reportedly he shops the same day so I don't think you get the full benefit unless he knows you're coming. I remember really enjoying the delicacy of the initial courses but we were a little disappointed in repeat ingredients and techniques in the later dishes.
re: rubadubgdub
We reserved well in advance, so all should be well.
And to Mr Lauriston, it was apparently someone very misinformed, to be unnecessarily kind.
re: buttertart
definitely go. and please please report back what you thought, and how it compares to other meals you've had in china.
i've been to china a couple times, and jai yun meals are still in the top 10 chinese meals i've ever had. maybe top 5.
the main downside to jai yun is the price (and you generally aren't served rare / luxury ingredients for this price), and the service can be weird / frustrating at times. but the food is fantastic.
re: Dustin_E
Forr fantastic food price is not a concern. Thanks for the encouragement, really looking forward to it!
re: Dustin_E
I've never ordered the top-priced menu, I was afraid that might mean Chinese luxury ingredients like shark's fin that are more rare than delicious. I've read reports of abalone. The price is not low but few places have a better price:value ratio.
re: Robert Lauriston
i also haven't tried their higher-priced menus.
the meals i've had have had a very small smount of shark fin in their enokitake mushroom dish, and very small some slices of abalone in the egg white dish. but these seemed to be more of supplementary than primary ingredients.
re: Robert Lauriston
I've only been once, with a large group and the higher priced menu included whole fish and whole duck, but I don't recall shark's fin (which I avoid), a small amount of abalone and so many courses I couldn't eat as many as I wished :(
The main problem for me is that it is not a great place (and often not even possible) for a single.
re: estnet
>> not a great place (and often not even possible) for a single.
that is my problem as well. so sad.
re: estnet
how large was your group, and what price was the menu?
did anyone else notice that the menu price doubled over the course of like 3 years?
re: Dustin_E
What is the entry-level menu price these days? Three years ago it was $45 and the max was $100. Their Web site is offline.
re: Robert Lauriston
iirc, for two people it is $80. for 3-4 people it is $65. max i've seen listed on the site was $165.
re: Dustin_E
Sort of makes sense, given that when I've gone with two people we got more food per person than when I've gone with larger groups.
re: Robert Lauriston
we did the $98 per person. it was perfect for 4 of us. One was a vegetarian, but she found plenty of things to eat.
re: mariacarmen
Your post was so inspiring that I'm trying to gather a group together for a visit! One of the people I've mentioned it to is vegetarian.A few questions regarding that--- did they feel their $100 was well spent? Did you let them know ahead of time that you were going to have a vegetarian diner, and how many of the dishes were fully vegetarian friendly (i.e., no fish and not animal broths)?
re: hyperbowler
as far as i know, the restaurant wasn't informed that we would have a vegetarian diner with us. as far as value goes, the vegetarian diner was hosted by another member of our party (old friends.) i would say up to 40% of the dishes were vegetarian? there were a fare amount of dishes with tofu in them, or just vegetables. buttertart will have to confirm/deny all of this, however, as she has a much better memory of the dishes and knowledge of their ingredients, and she's also the one that made the reservation.
but i hope you enjoy! i don't see how one cannot....
re: Dustin_E
I think there were 16-20 of us, anyway 2 large tables. Cost was around $80 and it was 3 or 4 years ago. The servings seemed so small in the beginning - like around a teaspoon each of the multiple appetizers, but if I had any idea how many courses were to follow and that some of the last ones were the most spectacular I might (but might not since everything was so good) have restrained myself a bit more early on :)
re: estnet
I'm sure you could easily round up dining companions by posting a note to the SF chowdown group.
re: Robert Lauriston
Are they accommodating of vegetarians?
re: Chandavkl
if you read all the reports, there are many vegetarian options. we had a vegetarian dining with us and she found no problem being satisfied. she didn't get to sub out veggie dishes, but again, there was more than enough that she said she didn't feel slighted in the least.
re: mariacarmen
Good point. Depends if you have a mixed group or are only vegetarians.
re: Robert Lauriston
They'll do an anything your heart desires menu with advance notice. I want to celebrate my next birthday there with an all-Jiangsu menu, chef is from Nanjing...
re: buttertart
Oooh, do tell!!!!
re: Ruth Lafler
we will, we will!
re: buttertart
damn it, i only found out about this place after i had left SF...i really would've liked to have tried it and i dont go to SF very often
re: buttertart
Glad I had a chance to meet/chat with you, if much too briefly.
Maybe you could convince the New Yorkers in this thread on the Food Media board to stop beating up David Chan "Chandavkl" for not naming a NY restaurant among his top 10 in the US. They can't seem to fathom that NY Chinese restaurants do not compare to Jai Yun though none of them seem to have eaten in SF or LA to compare for themselves. FWIW, Jai Yun was #10 of 10 on the list.

Earlier this month, the infamous "picketers" arrived at Campbellsville University with signs declaring doom to students who did not repent from their "progressive" theologies.
While many see groups such as this one as intolerant or crazy, it's important not to get lost in fighting against their "preaching."
Though I don't agree with what this group has to say, I most certainly think they have a right to stand on the sidewalk and defend what they believe.
Whenever I am confronted by atheists, I simply make the point that if there weren't a God and he didn't love us, there wouldn't be such a thing as the beloved homegrown tomato.
There's a surprising grace that falls our way whenever someone unexpectedly sings a beautiful song.
It was a Susan Boyle moment whenever Angela Hockensmith began her solo in our church one Sunday morning. I could sense people looking wide eyed at each other. Like me, they were silently saying, "I didn't know she could sing like that."
I love this time of year. It's the time when it's a little cool in the morning and night, but still warm during the day. And there is plenty to do on the weekends.
From a fall festival to community cleanups to fundraisers, school and church events to sports and other competitions, there is no shortage of stuff to do. Those who say there is nothing to do in Campbellsville are just wrong.
This Saturday is no exception. Taylor County High School will host its annual band competition, which I look forward to every year.
We appreciate the patience of the residents who are so affected by the Downtown Water Line Replacement Project. This project will replace many old water lines within the city and is well underway.
Contractors have worked on many streets to install new lines or to change meters over to larger lines that are nearby. There are some yards and streets being disturbed and dug up in order to improve the lines and, in turn, the water quality.
Had Duane Allen not become a mega-success with The Oak Ridge Boys, chances are he would have become a highly successful basketball coach at some level.
At least, that is how he had it planned.
"I get right into the very intricacies of coaching," Allen said recently before taking the stage at the Kentucky State Fair. "I had dreamed when I was in school that I would be doing this until I got tired of it. I never dreamed it would last as long as it has.
Grandparents Day is Sunday. Although it has been an annual tradition since 1979, Grandparents Day is not a day I had ever given much thought to.
Two of my grandparents live in other states, so I only get to see them about once a year, and two have passed on. It wasn't until last year, when my niece, Taylor, came into the world that I finally began to understand the importance of Grandparents Day.
I can look back over the years and recall lots of things my parents taught me, but one has always stood out above the others. My mom always said that when it comes to money, it's easier to talk for it than to work for it.
I've put that message to work many times over the years, and I've even used it a few times recently. I'll tell you about two of my experiences in the past month, and they may help you save a little money, too.
A very telling scene occurs in the movie "Promised Land," the film about two corporate salespeople, Steve Butler (Matt Damon) and Sue Thomason (Frances McDermond), who visit a rural town in an attempt to buy drilling rights from the local residents. They represent an energy company specializing in obtaining natural gas through a process known as fracking, which critics claim involves a variety of environmental hazards.
I don't believe God ever created anything evil. I think he created man with an intellect to live as independently and as self-sufficiently as possible. In our haste and greed, I think we began to short circuit God's creations, and thus bad things evolved.
My experience with cancer began with a simple blood test in Lexington this past December. I was diagnosed with anemia, or more simply, low blood. I was given a handful of iron pills and told to come back in three months.
