Samuel Clemens and His Cigars
Samuel Clemens, AKA Mark Twain, found his muse in great plumes of cigar smoke.

That promise nothwithstanding, there was no guarantee that Clemens, whose piety often lapsed, would ever get by St. Peter. Better known under the pen name Mark Twain, a moniker he adopted during his Mississippi riverboat days from the terminology for measuring water depth, Clemens was unwilling to give up, even in the afterlife, his eternal habit of smoking 22 cigars a day.
Twenty-two is the estimate of The Mark Twain House, just up Farmington Avenue from the Aetna Life & Casualty Insurance Co. headquarters in Hartford, Connecticut. Other sources have placed the number as high as 40. The point is, the man smoked all the time.
"Clemens was a great walker," wrote his good friend, novelist William Dean Howells in his biography, My Mark Twain. "As he walked of course he talked, and of course he smoked. Whenever he had been a few days with us, the whole house had to be aired, for he smoked all over it from breakfast to bedtime. He always went to bed with a cigar in his mouth, and sometimes, mindful of my fire insurance, I went up and took it away, still burning, after he had fallen asleep. I do not know how much a man may smoke and live, but apparently he smoked as much as a man could, for he smoked incessantly."
Clemens' defense makes him a role model for the ages. "I smoke in moderation," he said. "Only one cigar at a time." His "moderation" would be a constant source of irritation to his wife, Olivia "Livy" Langdon Clemens.
He tried to quit or cut back on a number of occasions, but he just couldn't manage it. "To cease smoking is the easiest thing," he once said. "I ought to know. I've done it a thousand times." In Following the Equator he wrote, "I pledged myself to smoke but one cigar a day. I kept the cigar waiting until bedtime, then I had a luxurious time with it. But desire persecuted me every day and all day long. I found myself hunting for larger cigars...within the month my cigar had grown to such proportions that I could have used it as a crutch."
Yet he found the idea of giving up cigars "ludicrous and hateful," writes Justin Kaplan in the definitive Mr. Clemens & Mark Twain: A Biography. "I am sure," Clemens insisted about Olivia's admonitions to give up smoking, "it has caused us more real suffering than would accrue from smoking a million cigars."
But when Clemens married Olivia in 1870, he made a determined effort to quit. It was during this rare period of abstinence that he was commissioned to write Roughing It. "He came almost to a full stop as a writer that year," Kaplan reports. Attempting to give up smoking was especially difficult when Clemens was writing. That is when he smoked the most.
"I was three weeks writing six chapters," Clemens recounted. "Then I gave up the fight, resumed my three hundred cigars [a month], burned the six chapters, and wrote the book in three months, without any bother or difficulty. I ordinarily smoke fifteen cigars during my five hours' labours, and if my interest reaches the enthusiastic point, I smoke more. I smoke with all my might, and allow no intervals."

Born in 1835, Samuel Langhorne Clemens began his lifelong affair with the cigar at a young age in Hannibal, Missouri, his childhood home. "I began to smoke immoderately when I was eight years old," he wrote in an 1883 essay called "Smoking as Inspiration." "That is, I began with one hundred cigars a month, and by the time I was twenty I had increased my allowance to two hundred a month. Before I was thirty, I had increased it to three hundred a month."
Before taking up cigars, he had tried chewing tobacco at the age of seven and reacted badly. "Of course, in Tom Sawyer, the boys are over on the island and try to learn to smoke and get quite ill from their experience," says Henry Sweets, director of the Mark Twain Museum in Hannibal, where Clemens' boyhood house is preserved. "When he was living in Hannibal, cigar making was a profession here. He talks about finding some stubs on the sidewalk and trying one out."
Clemens describes this episode in his autobiography: "I had not smoked for three full months, and no words can adequately describe the smoke appetite that was consuming me. I had been a smoker from my ninth year—a private one during the first two years, but a public one after that—that is to say, after my father's death. I was smoking, and utterly happy....I do not know what the brand of the cigar was. It was probably not choice, or the previous smoker would not have thrown it away so soon. But I realized that it was the best cigar that was ever made. The previous smoker would have thought the same if he had been without a smoke for three months. I smoked that stub without shame, because now I am more refined than I was then. But I would smoke it, just the same. I know myself, and I know the human race, well enough to know that."
Tobacco was grown in Missouri in the 1840s, and that provided some clear advantages. "In those days the native cigar was so cheap that a person who could afford anything could afford cigars," Clemens recalled. "Mr. Garth [the father of a friend of the young Clemens] had a great tobacco factory, and he also had a small shop in the village for the retail sale of his products. He had one brand of cigars which even poverty itself was able to buy. He had had these in stock a good many years, and although they looked well enough on the outside, their insides had decayed to dust and would fly out like a puff of vapor when they were broken in two. This brand was very popular on account of its extreme cheapness. Mr. Garth had other brands which were cheap, and some that were bad, but the supremacy over them enjoyed by this brand was indicated by its name. It was called 'Garth's damnedest.' We used to trade old newspapers (exchanges) for that brand.
"There was another shop in the village where the conditions were friendly to penniless boys. It was kept by a lonely and melancholy little hunchback, and we could always get a supply of cigars by fetching a bucket of water for him from the village pump, whether he needed water or not. One day we found him asleep in his chair—a custom of his—and we waited patiently for him to wake up, which was a custom of ours. But he slept so long, this time, that at last our patience was exhausted and we tried to wake him—but he was dead."
Clemens took more than his appreciation of cigars and his pen name from his childhood and his days as a river pilot on the Mississippi. "The environment and society in which he grew up in Hannibal were pretty much ingrained in him," says Sweets, "and was pretty much the mental and moral baggage that he took with him the rest of his life." Sweets believes, and others who have studied Clemens' life agree, that some of the tragedies he experienced as a boy in Missouri stayed with him all his life.
On one occasion, young Sam and a friend had passed some matches to a vagrant who was locked up in the local jail. The vagrant apparently used the matches to set the jail on fire and died in the blaze. In 1858, when Clemens was working on the steamboat Pennsylvania, he got into a fight and was kicked off the boat in New Orleans. His younger brother Henry remained on board and died after an explosion on the Pennsylvania just south of Memphis. Sam had gotten Henry the job on the boat and forever felt responsible for Henry's death, even believing he had presaged it in a dream. He wrote in his autobiography:
"The coffins provided for the dead were of unpainted white pine, but in this instance some of the ladies of Memphis had made up a fund of sixty dollars and bought a metallic case, and when I came back and entered the deadroom, Henry lay in that open case, and he was dressed in a suit of my clothing. I recognized instantly that my dream of several weeks before was here exactly reproduced, so far as these details went—and I think I missed one detail, but that one was immediately supplied, for just then an elderly lady entered the place with a large bouquet consisting mainly of white roses, and in the center of it was a red rose, and she laid it on his breast." Henry's death weighed so heavily on Sam that once he even tried to reach his brother through a seance. "In his age as well as his youth, these recollections filled his nights with remorse," writes Kaplan.
Early in adult life, the literary Mark Twain differed significantly from Samuel Clemens. What is widely known about the writer has made him an American icon and among the nation's most popular exports. The torments of the private Samuel Clemens, which affected the tone of his alter ego's later stories, are not as well known.
"His private life is one in which he showed his vulnerability and his truest sympathies and his recognition that life in America was a complicated thing," says John Boyer, executive director of The Mark Twain House. Clemens was devoted to his family; the Hartford home was a nurturing atmosphere for his three daughters. "There was an effort to keep the two lives separate," says Boyer. "The casual atmosphere of family life was precious to him."
Clemens believed that the rearing of the children was the responsibility of his wife, Olivia, while the father's duty was to entertain them. This he did masterfully. On Saturdays his daughters, Susy, Clara and Jane (known as Jean), would invite friends over and they would stage selections from Mark Twain's writings, with the author's help. In the library, next to the conservatory, the family (with any number of their many pets—including three dogs named "I Know," "You Know" and "Don't Know") would gather and play a game based on the objects settled on the mantel of the fireplace and its flanking bookshelves. The girls would rearrange the objects so that the plots of the story would vary, but the stories were regularly about the circus, because Clemens knew the subject would please his daughters.
"On these shelves, and on the mantelpiece, stood various ornaments," Clemens relates in his autobiography. "At one end of the procession was a framed oil painting of a cat's head; at the other end was a head of a beautiful young girl, life size, called Emmeline, an impressionist watercolor. Between the one picture and the other there were twelve or fifteen of the bric-a-brac things...also an oil painting by Elihu Vedder, 'The Young Medusa'. Every now and then the children required me to construct a romance—always impromptu—not a moment's preparation permitted—and into that romance I had to get all that bric-a-brac and the three pictures. I had to start always with the cat and finish with Emmeline. I was never allowed the refreshment of a change, end for end. It was not permissible to introduce a bric-a-brac ornament into the story out of its place in the procession. These bric-a-bracs were never allowed a peaceful day, a reposeful day, a restful Sabbath. In their lives there was no Sabbath. In their lives there was no peace. They knew no existence but a monotonous career of violence and bloodshed. In the course of time the bric-a-brac and the pictures showed wear. It was because they had had so many and such violent adventures in their romantic careers."
Their house had been built after Clemens and Olivia decided to settle in Hartford in 1871, shortly after they were married. After three years of construction at an eventual cost of about $100,000, a considerable sum at the time, they moved into their house, which stood on a large lot adjacent to the home of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
With its bricks painted vermilion and black and its numerous gables, the house's style is "picturesque gothic" or "stick style." Neighbors thought the house was hideous. Clemens loved it.
Clemens had planned to use part of the second floor as his study, but found it too noisy, as it was situated between the girls' nursery and the guest room frequently used by his mother-in-law. Too many distractions. He gave it over to the girls as their classroom.
He moved his work upstairs, into the billiard room. There he wrote, but the room was also used for its original purpose. Albert Bigelow Paine, Clemens' friend, literary executor and a biographer of the author, reported, "Every Friday evening, or oftener, a small party of billiard-lovers gathered, and played until a late hour, told stories, and smoked till the room was blue, comforting themselves with hot Scotch and general good-fellowship." (The original table is gone, replaced by one from Clemens' later home in New York City.) The ceiling is decorated with painted pipes, cigars and billiard cues, as are the translucent marble windows on the south wall of the house, which record the year it was built.
Some of the wall finishes on the first floor of the house were designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the glass designer and son of the jeweler. For a man with a reputation for candor and simplicity, Clemens went to great lengths to fit in with Hartford society.
Although his wife's family had considerable wealth, money was always an issue for Clemens. There were times when his business acumen, or lack thereof, seemed to have been acquired from his father, a lawyer, who died when Clemens was 12.
"His father was a poor businessman," explains Henry Sweets, "[who] once used the family home to back a friend's note. The friend defaulted on the note and they found themselves without a home. Later, Mark Twain showed this same lack of business sense over and over; with investments, trying to run a publishing firm, going bankrupt himself [but never legally declaring bankruptcy]." In fact, Clemens always repaid his debts dollar for dollar, even when he lost as much as $300,000 backing the invention of a typesetting machine called the Paige Compositer. A rival machine proved simpler and more affordable.

The Clemens Family on their Hartford home's porch (or "umbra") with cigar. Clemens invested in the machine because he had firsthand experience with the difficulty of having to set type manually. When he was 12 he had learned the craft as an apprentice at the Missouri Courier. Clemens thought James W. Paige's machine would revolutionize printing and make millions. "Very much the best investment I have ever made," Clemens once said, but at that time he had put up only $5,000. Among other minor investors Clemens attracted was Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula.
In 1881, Clemens had also set up the Charles L. Webster Publishing Co. to publish his own works, as well as the books of other writers. By 1891, Clemens had invested so much of his money that the family could no longer afford to keep its house in Hartford, with its 19 rooms and many servants, operating. The Clemenses decided to move to Europe where they could live more frugally. After the Panic of 1893 in the United States and the national depression that followed, the publishing venture failed in April 1894, $200,000 in the red. The typesetting venture crashed in October of the same year.
The economic calamity led Clemens, in 1895, to set off on a worldwide lecture tour. He regained financial stability, and later acquired considerable wealth from his writings. He even registered the name Mark Twain as a trademark and endorsed numerous products, including cigars. (He also lent the Mark Twain name to flour, a typewriter, a fountain pen, bourbon and beer. Biographer Kaplan says this might have been done more for exposure than for money.)
In 1896, while Clemens was still on tour, his 24-year-old daughter Susy died of spinal meningitis during a visit to the family home in Hartford. Clemens showed his pain in a letter to his good friend and minister in Hartford, the Rev. Joseph Twichell, referring to the house in the past tense.
"Ah, well, Susy died at home. She had that privilege. Her dying eyes rested upon no thing that was strange to them, but only upon things which they had known and loved always and which had made her young years glad....If she had died in another house—well, I think I could not have borne that. To us our house was not unsentient matter—it was heart and soul and eyes to see us...and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence."

Take a step back in time to a long-gone era in NFL football,
and Yankee Stadium, history! In stunning black-and-white sepia-toned elegance,
this poster puts you on the New York Giants sideline during a wet, cold,
muddy Sunday afternoon in 1956, when the dominating squad continued its
march to the championship. The photograph is a pure classic, featuring
two of the NFL's most legendary faces of the era: Vince Lombardi, the team's
offensive coordinator, who would later become the greatest head coach of
all-time with the Packers; and Frank Gifford, the stoical two-way superstar,
during his MVP season. From an era before the Super Bowl even existed,
television broadcasts were almost non-existent, and New York football was
played in beautiful pre-renovation Yankee Stadium, this is a true piece
of history! With rare hall-of-fame photography by Robert Riger, and a slick
white-bordered design printed on high-quality heavy gallery stock, this
is a beauty that belongs in a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall
of any true football fan. A true classic, perfect for home, office, or
football locker room!

Well my el-cheapo starter mig died and I needed to make a better cart for my 180. The old cart had my mig, my arc, and my O/A setup on it making it just to heavy to leave the garage floor.
So I put a few scraps together to make a more mobile cart. If I remember correct the rear wheels are 11 or 12" and the front casters are 4 or 5". It was all in my head so there are no plans. But if anyone wants to borrow ideas from the pics, please feel free.
For now my tool trays are plastic specials from Big Lots. They should serve me fine until I get around to making trays from sheet metal. I may as well admit it up front. When I got to the handle on the front I managed to build the cart 1 1/2" to short, so I had to add it to the front instead of extending the front legs on up. All and all I think it turned OK pretty OK.
BTW the is the first project that I built and painted before I actually used it.

Nice cart. Do you have to drop the cylinder in from the top?
Thank You BillyP
Yes I do have to drop the cylinder from the top. I was thinking about that today while I was working on the holders on the front. I think I will cut the piece of tubing at the rear, weld tabs on it and drill the tabs for pins. We'll see what happens tomorrow!
What I like about what you are doing here is, you have found that most of the time when you want to pull a welder over to a certain spot and do a job, you don't want to bring every machine you own.
It's nice to have your things on wheels for sure. It would be interesting to see how well everything stays when pulling across rough surfaces.
Also like the little "extras" Just don't get so carried away that you end back up where you were, only a different version.

Thanks again FusionKing. My cart is DONE !! Well until I have to replace the wheels, there chi-pan all the way and wont last long. BillyP brought up a valid point about loading the cylinder so I made a change there.
The last 9 pics are of the final changes. When I need to change bottles I remove a couple self threading screws and the bottle comes right out the back only having to lift it a few inch's.
I have my cord thats wired in to the welder, and a short extension if I have to go to the end of the drive way. My original cord storage was to small for both cords and I didn't really like the idea of bending all the way down to wrap it up each time I use it. So I added a cord holder on the side slightly above knee high.
I have read that many guys dint like the nozzle dip but I use it when I remember, and the cup holder thing is probably more suited for the anti-splatter spray rather then my beverage.

looks good. sometimes i wish i had a smaller machine. sync 200 runner is huge
Turbo integra, That is a large machine but it is a service beast. It will likely run for 20 or more years, with reasonable care that is.
I have a Dynasty 200DX, a Coolmate 4, a HyperTherm 1250 plasma, XMT 300, M64S wirefeeder and a MM210. I have stuff in so many corners, its a zoo to get anything done. I also have a "B" Boom for when I am working in a large shop area, very nice but extremely large 15' radius of reach plus a 15' bernard gun and I can build large pieces with no dragging of a machine. and no cable on the floor for a trip hazard.
My shop just isn't big enough,

Greg only met Ginny a month ago but has already made up his mind that she's the girl for him. When she tells him that she's going to visit her parents, he decides this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter's hand. Discovering a scribbled address, he follows her to Buckinghamshire where he finds Philip and Sheila enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the garden, but the only thing is - they're not Ginny's parents.

What is a Household
A household is a group of people who like to do the same sort of things. It could be that they all like to fight, or to cook, or make things or run events. It could be just a bunch of friends that hang out and have fun shooting the breeze. Often Households show off their heraldry to show who they are, and it can bring a delight to the field. Households can be a great way to share fun experiences with like minded people. We have many different households in St Florian de la riviere. Some of the variations include Fighting Households, Period Encampment Households, Buddies who like to have fun together, geographically challenged households, and households attached to Peers (Peer-a-mids). All of these have an important place with the Society and can bring groups together providing a close knit sense of community.
You can still feel a part of a group without joining a household! The Barony of St Florian de la Riviere is where you belong and provides a fighting militia and support through the Baron and Baroness.
The current active households of St Florian are:
If you are a member of a household within the Barony of Saint Florian de la Riviere and wish to have your section and your history on-line to share with the rest of your Barony - contact us!

Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Dave Bar Free yourself from the tyranny of the cable Take AKG's K 840 KL lightweight wireless headphones with you everywhere to enjoy your favorite music without the hassle of being tethered by a cord. They include a small wireless transmitter that simply plugs into the headphone jack of your iPod®, iPhone®, laptop or other music player, and streams high-quality sound to the headset's built-in receiver. The included elastic band and Velcro strip makes it easy to attach the transmitter to your music source. A handy volume control on the earcup lets you adjust listening levels to suit your taste without ever taking your iPod or iPhone out of your pocket. Lose the cable not the sound quality The K 840 KLs use Kleer® wireless technology to deliver uncompressed stereo sound. Unlike other wireless technologies, Kleer delivers lossless, CD-quality digital audio, which means you won't be able to tell the difference between these headphones and your wired ones. Multi-receiver mode allows up to four people using Kleer AKG headphones to listen to the same audio source, so you can easily share music with your friends and family. With a range of more than 60 feet and a battery life of up to 28 hours, the K 840 KLs will go farther and play longer than most other portable wireless headphones. And just in case you need it, AKG includes a cable plus an airline adapter for a direct wired connection in situations where you'd rather just plug in, or when you want to make use of an in-flight entertainment system. From the review AKG K 840 Wireless Headphones: Travel 'phones that are at home in the office "Everything about the packaging and presentation of the AKG K 840 headphones are about travel. And they would be great to have on a trip. You could keep your iPod (or other portable player) in your pocket with the attached transmitter, and go for hours just listening through the wireless headphones. But I really found the AKG K 840 KL wireless headphones a plus in the office. Not only did I enjoy great sound, but being untethered from my computer and free to roam around... was the real benefit for me.

NAMI FaithNet Newsletter
Speak to the "80 percent"
by Gunnar E. Christiansen, M.D.
"Speaking to the Choir" is important, but more is needed. If we are to be successful in developing a welcome and spiritually nurturing environment in our places of worship for those affected by mental illness, we must take a step beyond just talking to each other.
We must speak to the "80 percent" in our congregations, as well as to those in society as a whole who don't have a mental illness or have someone in their families affected by mental illness. Unless we educate them about the challenges of mental illness, we will limit our success in our attempts to develop our ministry.
Education leads to understanding.
Understanding leads to empathy.
Empathy leads to loving, compassionate care.
We will truly have a "Caring Congregation" when the "80 percent" experience empathy rather than just sympathy for those affected by mental illness. The ability for people to have at least a glimmer of what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone with a mental illness is necessary for a congregation to recognize that ministry with those affected should be a central part of its mission.
A paradigm shift is needed.
This paradigm shift from a peripheral focus to a central focus by a congregation is a progressive change rather than a sudden change. The necessary steps will vary in different congregations, but you are invited to visit the "Steps of Ministry" page in the NAMI FaithNet Web site for further discussion. Also, please check out the many other downloadable resources available from the organizations listed on the "Related Links" page of our Web site (e.g. www.pathways2promise.org, www.mentalhealthministries.net and www.congregationalresources.org/mentalhealth.asp).
We can engage the "80 percent" by connecting with our faith leaders and making presentations to our communities.
Whereas 20 years ago, mental illness hardly ever was mentioned in worship services, today this is no longer the case. For example, during the past four years, in my congregation, we have had three entire worship services devoted to ministry with those affected by mental illness. During the past 16 years, we have had multiple presentations to Sunday School classes, etc. concerning mental illness.
The Talmud states that beginnings are difficult. Certainly the steps in developing ministry with those affected by mental illness can be challenging. But we have a partner in our advocacy and we could not have a better one. With God's help, we can climb mountains. With God's help, all things are possible.
"Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness
shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun."
Psalm 37: 5 & 6

Holy shit! That, on the right there, is present-day Jared Lorenzen, formerly of Kentucky Wildcat and New York Giant fame. He was best known as Eli Manning's dump truck of a backup. Now he's a dump truck of a nose tackle, playing quarterback.
In mid-December of last year, Lorenzen signed with the Northern Kentucky River Monsters of the Continental Indoor Football League, hoping to recapture the magic he enjoyed with the team in 2011 when he threw for 3,473 yards and 81 touchdowns.
Head Coach Brian Schmidt said "I field several times a day the question is Jared coming back? Today is a day that I can definitely say yes, and a day River Monster Fans can be excited for. Having a QB the caliber of Jared improves not only the River Monsters, but league as a whole. "
The season started tonight for the River Monsters, who are up 15-8 on the Bluegrass Warhorses at the half and...really, what you need to take away from here is that Jared Lorenzen—listed at 6'4" and 320 pounds—is still playing quarterback in a football league. No matter how you slice it, that's damned impressive.
Update: Like I said, damned impressive.
h/t to Gyero_Lurker for the Vine.
Update 2: This has been a lot of fun.

The rock, pop, country and Americana sides of Music City shine brightly in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2012" list, which sees some of Nashville's biggest stars - Taylor Swift (#31) and Jack White (#3) - sharing space with critical faves Todd Snider (#47) and Justin Townes Earle (#37).
Local connections abound on the rest of the list, from Dr. John's Nashville-made, Dan Auerbach-produced "Locked Down," Dave Matthews Band's Nashville-based saxophonist Jeff Coffin, and Bonnie Raitt's "Slipstream," which featured several local songwriters and players.
Canadian indie-rockers Japandroids came to East Nashville to work on their "Celebration Rock" album, and Alabama Shakes' Grammy-nominated "Boys & Girls" was recorded in town.
Alabama Shakes also topped the RS "50 Best Songs of 2012" list with their breakout tune "Hold On," just ahead of Swift's #2 track "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and White's "Sixteen Saltines" (#8).

Came into ownership of a Gibson EB-0 a while back, and learned to my surprise that the bass that had been on my want list for a while was actually the same scale as your average guitar. Other than the issue of getting accustomed to the smaller frets, are there any special concerns to be aware of (gauge, string tension, intonation, etc.)?

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi

Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
Brilliantly overcoming a near-fatal helium leak in a pressure regulator, engineers from JPL and Hughes Aircraft Company (the prime contractor for the spacecraft) managed to safely deposit Surveyor 5 on the surface of the Moon in the southeastern region of Mare Tranquillitatis at 1° 25' north latitude and 23° 11' east longitude at 00:46:42 UT on 11 September 1967.
The malfunction put the lander about 29 kilometers away from its target in an angular incline within the slope of the rimless crater. Surveyor 5 was, however, the most successful of the series.
The lander returned 18,006 photos before lunar night descended on 24 September. Controllers successfully commanded the vehicle to take further photographs during the second lunar day between 15 and 24 October 1967 and the fourth lunar day in December. In total, 20,018 pictures were transmitted.
In another experiment, on 13 September, controllers fired the main engine for 0.55 second to examine the effects of disturbing the lunar surface. NASA announced that no new craters were created, nor was there any significant dust cloud. The alpha-scattering instrument had earlier been released onto the surface and found the soil to be composed of more than half oxygen with amounts of silicon and aluminum. Contact was lost with the lander on 16 December 1967.

Indiana University - Memorial StadiumThis panorama of Memorial Stadium, taken by Christopher Gjevre, highlights the action of an Indiana Hoosiers football game. Memorial Stadium, located in Bloomington, Indiana, opened in 1960. It replaced the "old" Memorial Stadium, a 20,000 seat stadium built in 1925. After many renovations, seating capacity now holds 52,692. The Hoosiers football program began in 1887 and competes in the Big Ten Conference. Established in 1820 as the Indiana State Seminary, eight years later the name was changed to Indiana College and officially changed to Indiana University in 1838. Indiana University enrolls 107,000 plus students at all IU campuses.
Bring your wall alive with blue dusk skies, lush green grass, and a human wave of pure Hoosier red - gameday in Bloomington like you've never seen it before! This spectacular, rare Indiana Hoosiers print features the brightest moment in the 2009 rivalry matchup against Ohio State - the early 2nd quarter touchdown pass that brought the Hoosiers to within a field goal of the #9-ranked Buckeyes. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of any student, alumnus, athlete, Hoosier fan, or Indiana native!

This panorama of the University of Kansas - Allen Fieldhouse, photographed by Christopher Gjevre, features the Kansas basketball team vs. conference opponent, the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Named in honor of the late Dr. F.C. "Phog" Allen, the Jayhawks' head coach for 39 years, Allen Fieldhouse is considered one of the most storied college basketball arenas in America. Allen Fieldhouse was dedicated in 1955 and has a seating capacity of 16,300. The court is named after James Naismith, the inventor of basketball and the first basketball coach at the University of Kansas. Ironically, Naismith coached "Phog" Allen, his eventual successor at Kansas and the namesake of Allen Fieldhouse.
