University Park, PA (Sports Network) - Matt McGloin's five-yard touchdown run
was the go-ahead score late in regulation, as Penn State rallied from an 11-
point fourth-quarter deficit to upend No. 24 Northwestern, 39-28, in front of
a delirious crowd at Beaver Stadium.
McGloin finished with 282 yards passing and a pair of scores through the air
for the Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-0 Big Ten), who won their fourth straight game.
Allen Robinson and Michael Zordich added touchdowns in a 22-point final stanza
for Penn State, which has won six in a row over its suburban Chicago foes.
Trevor Siemian was 21-of-36 for 135 yards and one TD for the Wildcats (5-1,
1-1), who failed in their bid to start 6-0 for the first time in 50 years.
Venric Mark totaled 72 yards and a score on 13 carries and contributed a 75-
yard punt return for a touchdown which sent Northwestern up 28-17. Kain Colter
picked up a score on the ground in defeat.

Matt Bevin / Enquirer file photo
You wouldnt know about Northern Kentuckys Republican majority and strong tea party presence by looking at whos getting the regions money in the 2014 Senate race.
An Enquirer analysis of Federal Election Commission reports for July through September showed Alison Lundergan Grimes the Democrat raised more in those three months in Northern Kentucky than Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell has raised all year in the region.
Grimes came away with $93,000 from donors in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties in the first three months of her campaign.
In that same time, McConnell took away $15,000 from Northern Kentucky donors, and Republican challenger and tea party favorite Matt Bevin collected $9,300. As of Sept. 30, McConnell has raised $32,000 all year in the region.
Grimes and McConnell have both largely relied on out-of-state donors, while Bevin has mostly self-financed.
Grimes early focus and success in Northern Kentucky has Democrats optimistic about her chances in this conservative area while Republicans and tea party supporters cautioned about jumping to conclusions.
I think that is surprising, said Jeff Kidwell, chairman of the Campbell County Republicans and Campbell County sheriff. Most of the time, Northern Kentucky is notorious for supporting Republican candidates on a national level.
It doesnt surprise Democrats like Campbell County Clerk Jack Snodgrass.
I think people are fed up with what happened in Washington in the last three or four months, Snodgrass said. They are kind of fed up not only with McConnell, but everybody. They want someone fresh and intelligent.
Grimes campaign has focused attention on Northern Kentucky early on with two large fundraisers in the past two months and a third scheduled Dec. 2 at a home in Hebron. A Fort Mitchell fundraiser in September helped make that ZIP code, 41017, the highest earner in the state for Grimes, raising $28,000 in the third quarter. The adjacent 41011 ZIP code came in second in the state raising $27,700.
Snodgrass threw a Grimes fundraiser Nov. 14 at his Campbell County home where about 60 people attended. Snodgrass thinks the lack of federal funding for the $2.5 billion Brent Spence Bridge project and frustration over the government shutdown will play in Grimes favor in Northern Kentucky.
I think people are a little disturbed about that, Snodgrass said. Anytime we have asked for something, weve been stonewalled. I think that was a lot of the talk at our house (at the fundraiser).
Grimes has supported federal funding for the bridge instead of tolls, but hasnt said where the federal money would come from.
'It's still early,' NKY Republican leader says
Republicans and tea party activists see more Northern Kentucky support for McConnell and Bevin going into 2014.
Kidwell suspects Northern Kentucky will see more McConnell fundraisers in 2014.
McConnell has his base here, Kidwell said. I think its still early yet. A lot of people try to read a lot of things into the early reports. Everyone is wanting to see a trend. Once we get past January, then we will see what the trends are.
Northern Kentuckys strong tea party presence, however, could pose a problem for McConnell and may have muted McConnells support in the region, said Stephen Voss, a University of Kentucky political science professor.
His relationship with the Boone County Republicans has not been especially strong, said Voss, referring to the strong tea party presence and recent but failed attempt to get the Boone County GOP to endorse Bevin. They seem to be at the forefront of the Bevin activism.
Bevin didnt come away with a lot of Northern Kentucky dollars, though his fundraising didnt start until midway through the third quarter.
Hes personally loaned his campaign $600,000 out of the total $822,000 raised. Most of his outside donations have come from his hometown of Louisville, accounting for $57,000 of the $83,000 raised statewide.
Tea partiers who back Bevin share optimism about their candidates ability to raise funds and think his outside fundraising will pick up once people get to know him. He announced his candidacy in August and has spent most of that time speaking to tea party groups and community events around the state introducing himself.
Bevin has started holding more fundraisers, including one Tuesday in Lexington, said John Kemper, a tea party activist from Lexington who last week joined Bevins campaign as director of grass-roots operations. Bevins ability to self-fund in the early stages and not have to rely on fundraisers has given people a chance to know him, he said.
It is kind of like making a snowman, Kemper said. You have to start from nothing, and then you have to work your way up. Getting people to write checks early on is difficult. You have to give them a chance to kick the tires and watch the campaign some.
Local money wont likely play the biggest part in this Senate race, Voss said. California fundraisers for Grimes where celebrities Steven Spielberg, Matt Damon and Barbra Streisand donated helped put Grimes ahead of McConnell in total fundraising dollars for the third quarter of 2013. Grimes raised $693,000 from California donors compared with $505,0000 from Kentucky donors.
McConnell has raised large sums from Washington-area donors and PACs, totaling $460,000 in the third quarter.
Money is going to flood in from states outside Kentuckys borders, Voss said. I expect the need for in-state fundraising to be less than usual. They will be well-financed campaigns regardless. ■

The president looked off his game in his first debate, in which he argued that the economy was growing and that the American people must stay the course.
His challenger, who was debate-tested because of a rigorous primary, tried to make the point that the economy wasnt strong enough and that change was needed in the White House.
Neither man scored any knockout punches, The Courier-Journal reported the morning after the two candidates faced each other for the first time.
That may seem like the debate last week between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, but it was really about a debate that happened 28 years ago yesterday at the Kentucky Center for the Arts in Louisville.
That debate featured President Ronald Reagan and Democrat Walter Mondale and it was the first of three national debates ever to be held in Kentucky. The third will occur Thursday when Vice President Joe Biden takes on Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan at Centre College in Danville.
But in reading the coverage of the 1984 debate, it was striking to see how little the country has changed in nearly three decades and how the same issues are at play now as they were when Reagan was running for his second term.
But its been that way throughout history as the deficit, taxes and unemployment seem to make their way to the forefront when the nation is not at war or when the candidates dont want to talk about war, as is the case today.
Reagan, in that first debate of 1984, was trying to defend his handling of the economy at a time when the unemployment rate was 7.5 percent, exactly the same as it was when he took office four years earlier as the nation headed toward double-digit inflation.
For Obama, the unemployment freefall stopped at 9.9 percent. His backers will tell you the numbers didnt rise to the 10.8 percent reached during Reagans term because of Obamas stimulus package; his opponents will tell you the unemployment numbers stopped there despite Obamas actions.
Now, the unemployment rate is 7.8 percent, exactly the same as it was when Obama was inaugurated in 2009.
In that Louisville debate nearly three decades ago, one big issue was the federal debt and how to pay it down. The debt at the time stood at $1.6 trillion. Now, its at $16 trillion having swelled in recent years as the economy faltered and tax revenue dropped.
Back then, the Democrat, like today, argued the need for a tax increase to help pay down the debt. Obama wants to raise taxes on those who make over $250,000 a year to help reduce the debt.
In 1984, the Republican argued against taxes, saying he would not back increases. Romney reiterated that he would not agree to tax increases even if they were accompanied by spending cuts 10 times larger.
In the Louisville debate, the Democrat claimed GOP plans would harm senior citizens. Obama said Romneys changes to Medicaid would reduce help for the elderly to rely on the medical program to pay for their stays in nursing homes.
And back then, the Republican said none of his plans for Social Security would affect those who were drawing on the program at that time. Romney, last week, made the same point about his plans.
And throughout the campaign, Romney has asked the same question that Reagan was famous for asking during his 1980 campaign and his 1984 re-election effort: Are you better off today than you were four years ago?
So, heres a little quiz.
Which candidate Reagan, Mondale, Obama or Romney made which of the following statements:
A) Four years ago when I stood on this stage I said that I would cut taxes for middle-class families. And thats exactly what I did.
B) I say with great confidence Im not going to go for a tax.
C) Neither (candidate is) proposing any changes for any current retirees or near retirees, either to Social Security or Medicare. So if youre 60 or around 60 or older, you dont need to listen any further.
D) Isnt the real question: Will we be better off? Will our children be better off? Are we building the future this nation needs?
Answers: A) Obama; B) Reagan; C) Romney; D) Mondale.
So dont be surprised if, after seeing the vice presidential debate on Thursday, you feel like youve heard it all before. Chances are, you have.

To diagnose type 2 diabetes, you'll be given a:
If the A1C test isn't available, or if you have certain conditions — such as if you're pregnant or have an uncommon form of hemoglobin (known as a hemoglobin variant) — that can make the A1C test inaccurate, your doctor may use the following tests to diagnose diabetes:
Oral glucose tolerance test. For this test, you fast overnight, and the fasting blood sugar level is measured. Then you drink a sugary liquid, and blood sugar levels are tested periodically for the next two hours.
A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.
The American Diabetes Association recommends routine screening for type 2 diabetes beginning at age 45, especially if you're overweight. If the results are normal, repeat the test every three years. If the results are borderline, ask your doctor when to come back for another test.
Screening is also recommended for people who are under 45 and overweight if there are other heart disease or diabetes risk factors present, such as a sedentary lifestyle, a family history of type 2 diabetes, a personal history of gestational diabetes or blood pressure above 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
If you're diagnosed with diabetes, the doctor may do other tests to distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes — since the two conditions often require different treatments.
A1C levels need to be checked between two and four times a year. Your target A1C goal may vary depending on your age and other factors. However, for most people, the American Diabetes Association recommends an A1C level below 7 percent. Ask your doctor what your A1C target is.
Compared with repeated daily blood sugar tests, A1C testing better indicates how well your diabetes treatment plan is working. An elevated A1C level may signal the need for a change in your medication, meal plan or activity level.
In addition to the A1C test, the doctor will take blood and urine samples periodically to check your cholesterol levels, thyroid function, liver function and kidney function. The doctor will also assess your blood pressure. Regular eye and foot exams also are important.

I think that young men should be specially exhorted to read old books. If you have a friend in the ministry who is growing old, urge him to read mainly new books, that he may freshen his mind and keep in sympathy with his surroundings. "But must not young men keep abreast of the age?" Certainly, only the first thing is to get abreast of the age, and in order to this, they must go back to where the age came from, and join there the great procession of its moving thought.

A C-5M Galaxy transport plane undergoes maintenance at the Warner Robins Air Logistics complex in Georgia. (Air Force)
- Filed Under
A year after ending a costly and high-stakes logistics modernization program, the Air Force claims some headway in adopting a building block approach to accomplish the programs original goals.
But a daunting road still lies ahead.
Rather than create a wholly new framework along the lines of the now-canceled Expeditionary Combat Support System, the Air Force has laid out a four-stage incremental strategy that will rely heavily on upgrades to existing systems. Full implementation could be as much as a decade away, according to the current timetable.
The first stage aimed at better managing depot workload is already underway, Brig. Gen. Kathryn Johnson, the Air Forces director for system integration, said in written responses to questions from Federal Times.
The goal then is to build up foundational needs to ensure that the new approach is working reliably, followed by expansion across the full range of field maintenance, she said. Similarly, improvements to supply-chain management will be rolled out gradually, progressing from wholesale orders to retail supply.
Among the weaknesses that need addressing, Johnson said, are inaccurate item data and getting the right part to the right place at the right time.
Because the Air Force is still figuring out whats needed, no long-term budget is in place. Planned spending from fiscal 2013 money for software updates and other needs adds up to about $11 million, according to official figures.
By contrast, the Expeditionary Combat Support System had consumed more than $1 billion before Air Force leaders pulled the plug in November 2012. They made the decision after concluding that it would take another $1 billion to gain one-quarter of the capability the system was supposed to have, with fielding delayed until 2020.
Failed transformation
The ECSS also was supposed to be a keystone in the Pentagons campaign to have all of its books auditable by a congressionally mandated 2017 deadline.
Johnson said the Air Force still expects to reach that goal, but did not elaborate in her written answers. Because of scheduling issues, she was not available for an interview late last month.
The ECSS began ambitiously almost a decade ago with the aim of transforming Air Force logistics. That vision instead fell prey to muddled governance, ineffective change management and revolving-door leadership, according to the results of an internal inquiry completed earlier this year.
With the Pentagons consent, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) recently provided a copy of the reports executive summary to Federal Times.
Based on more than 100 interviews with people involved in the program, the findings highlight four contributing causes and six root causes behind the ECSS failure.
While the Air Force had originally wanted to use commercial off-the-shelf software, for example, what it got from Oracle needed customization and later affected the ability of Computer Sciences Corp., the prime contractor, to deliver on the job, the summary said.
Another problem was getting buy-in from a user community fearful of how the new system would affect them personally. As time went on, the absence of effective change management snowballed because the lack of successful implementation signaled to the field that Expeditionary Combat Support System was not worth supporting, the report said.
Management churn was routine: The project went through five program executive officers in six years and six program managers in eight years. In addition, the ECSS logistics transformation office was staffed with term appointees, not permanent employees, leading to additional turnover.
And the overall governance structure was flawed as well: The absence of coherent leadership guidance on meshing intermingled methodologies drove needless delay, frustration, uncertainty and labor burden on the program office, the SASC report summary said.
That problem, the report summary said, is not yet resolved. But the ECSS wasnt a complete waste, the review team concluded.
While Air Force Controller Jamie Morin said last year that the program had produced negligible capability, the review team instead concluded that much of the work can be reused.
The ECSS wasnt the failure people think it was, the team added. It was the first step to truly understanding the enormous task the Air Force has ahead of itself.

The Surge: Moral Waivers and Legal Triage
Brace yourself. Bush's Iraq escalation, euphemized as "surge," sends just over 20,000 more troops into that bottomless pit, and flirts with an invasion of Iran. But because Iraq has depleted our armed forces—and recruitment levels plummet as our population wises up—Bush's plan requires still more: the entire Army active-duty force must swell to 547,000 over the next five years (an increase of 39,000), and the Marine Corps grow by 23,000 (to 202,000). Constitutionally, Congress must approve or disapprove the expansion—but one never knows whether this particular executive branch recognizes that the legislative (or judicial) branches exist. More »

I had no idea what a good power conditioner could do for video and audio until I bought a furman. WOW! I was blow away! Wouldn't live without it. Video was crisp,more detailed,colors were richer. Audio was tight,more focused,highs and lows much cleaner and clearer.
Primary tabs
Have You Optimized the AC Power in Your Home Theater?
If you use a power conditioner, have you noticed an improvement in the audio and/or video performance of your system that you can reasonably attribute to that device? Inquiring minds want to know!
Vote to see the results and leave a comment about your choice.
Yes - absolutely it helps. I saw it most when I had a line conditioner connected to my projector. Things got sharper, clearer, etc. Plus, since it also has surge protection, I have more confidence as well.
I don't have the projector system anymore, but I still use (and will always use) a line conditioner/surge protection of some kind - definitely more than a $10.00 power strip.
Any suggestions on what type of line conditioner to use for a projector? Can't exactly hang one of those large rack type components...
I currently have the projector on its own 15amp breaker going to a recessed plug.
What I used was exactly this - Home Theater PowerCenter™ HT 200 from Monster cables. I do not know if I am allowed to posts links here, but here is the product page:
if that does not work, search for HT 200 on the monstercable.com website.
It is small, provides level 1 line conditioning, and goes directly into the outlet that you have near the projector.
I know that there are more "serious" products, but this gave me the peace of mind and the improvements I mentioned above in this thread for 50 bucks.
First of all, I don't know what kind of projector you have or how much money it costs. If you have a $500.00 projector a simple (Monster brand) surge unit would be fine. On the other hand if you have a $2500.00-5000.00 projector then I would at least get a (Panamax)brand surge/cond unit. $400.00-500.00.The Furman shown above is a (IT reference 20i) and cost about $3600.00. All good conditioners have designated circuits for both audio and video.Some conditioners are for a 15 amp circuit and the others for a 20 amp. (if you have multiple power amps.)Google (Furman Sound) and you can read all about protection and dirty ac power that most of us power our equipment with. Scott knows the Furman brand as being a stellar product!If your serious about putting a great home theater together,I think the most important componet would be your protection and cleaning up the dirty AC.Think of the this unit as being the brain and heart of your system. I love my furman and wouldn't run my theater without it ! Good Luck!
I run a JVC-X3. Does it matter how old the wiring is? My house is 3 yrs old, so does conditioning less necessary?
Doesn't matter. The ac coming out of the wall is great for a toaster,hair dryer and power tools! Not for audio & video.
Not sure if my power is 'optimized' or not, but I have certainly tken steps to try to improve the quality of the juice that gets sent to my theater system. I do think that these devices can make a difference, although in my case it has been pretty subtle (reduction of background noise, musc clarity).
"Optimized" is an interesting, and, apparently, VERY expensive word.
I have the Panamax m5500-EX. It was a gift from a friend and it seems to be very well built and do a competent job. My background is pro-audio, meaning the systems you listen to when you go see a concert with a few thousand of your closest friends, and recording studios, where we create the music you listen to on your own systems. Furman is a name widely spread throughout both experiences.
I understand the benefits of conditioning the power coming out of my wall outlet. I KNOW it is dirty and noisy. I like the warranties offered and the surge protection. I also have an industrial surge protector on the main power coming into the house. I made certain that my home is properly grounded.
The biggest advantage of the Panamax, after conditioning the nasty power coming out of that wall, is the convenience of multiple connections and the automation benefits of the unit.
Try to sell me $ 1000 power cords to connect my gear to my Panamax and I will laugh in your face :-)
I probably would not have paid for this unit. That money would be MUCH better spent on room treatments. In fact, I would suggest you spend your time researching room treatments and your money on absorption, isolation and diffusion BEFORE you by the first component. Only then, would I look at things like power conditioning for SONIC and VISUAL improvements.
As we know a AC consists of huge amount of powers therefore it needs more than 100w to 200w of power supply therefore it cost a more than normal electricity, although I never before experiment these opportunities while optimizing AC with home theater but its seems to be very interesting to inquire.
cd printing service
Nice discussion! I got all your thoughts about the AC power system in home theater by reading out this post. I was looking forward for such kind of info. Thanks for this nice allocation and carry on...

Vendee Globe 2012-2013 - The early morning ranking on this 84th day of the course sees Mike Golding having risen to fifth place, now some 40 miles ahead of Jean Le Cam and the long-time rivals now splitting as they pursue different strategies.
Mike Golding onboard Gamesa - 2012 Vendee Globe
Le Cam is heading more north, passing close to the Azores as he tries to go around the high pressure system, whilst Mike Golding has gone more to the east, looking to sail less miles and get into new breeze sooner. Speeds are very similar around 9.2 to 9.3kts.
Golding reported this morning, 'In a couple of hours I should get the shift and get back north. At the moment to be honest the ranking is a bit of a distraction because we won't know the real situation until later when we get back into pressure later today.
'Obviously we have a different strategy. Jean is looking to go round the high or at least poke his way through a bit of it. I don't see that option really. I saw it but the problem is the routing has you doing 22knots and in the sea state we will have you can't do that. But that said when you run the routes there is only hours of difference.
'The wind has been all over the place, up and down. I have just brought some new files in and they want me further east, so this is the very favoured tack. It is just painful getting here.'

Looks like Issa is Finally backing off his rude and deceitful rhetoric about our President. His general behavior today was far more reasonable, and far less nasty, aggressive, and insulting.
The hearing today, proved that the 501C4 tax exemption stated for a hundred years that groups seeking tax exemption had to be "not organized for profit, but exclusively used ONLY for social welfare" BUT, for no known reason, the word exclusive, was changed to "Primary" in 1959 in guidlines used by the agency, hence, the IRS violated the law, without congressional authority.
Without that violation of the law, every single 501C4 organization would have been denied, anyway, including ALL of the Tea Party attempts, AND all of the Liberal groups, as well.
The scandal is supposed to be that they didn't get approved fast enough. Hence, none of them were denied anything, because none of them were eligible.
Another "No there, there" just like most of us knew all along.
End of story. End of Darryl Issa's accusations of malicious indulgence. End of Republicans trying to use the IRS to block Obamacare!
Boehner also made a fool of himself today, in front of the cameras, saying he wrote a letter to the president about getting the budget passed, BUT, the fact is, Boehner has blocked any meetings between the Senate and the House, on the budget, and stated he refuses to work with the president, and has blocked and obstructed every and any effort to bring anything to the floor, on the budget!
Paul Ryan also made a total fool of himself today. His behavior today, will go down as one of the most ridiculous, outrageous, juvenile, contemptable public displays of anarchy and disrespect in history.
Keep it up Repigs. Just please keep it up!

ToolsScrew drivers
CustomerThomas from Centennial CO
Removed the old dishrack shelf by taking off the end caps. A screw driver was used to release the plastic end caps. The old dishrack shelf is now able to just roll out and the new shelf is rolled in and the old end caps replaced. Quick and easy plus it makes the dish machine look new. The new silverware basket requires no tools just replace the old one.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
CustomerWilliam from Sheperdstown WV
I just replaced them with new ones. Unfortunately the new dishwasher rack was not as sturdy as the original. Hence, when it is loaded the wheel assembly sags and the center portion goes lower. Therefore, while rolling it in and out it hits the center jets and requires that we pick it up as it rolls: acceptable inconvenience but not pleasing.I fear that with many people using it, eventually the plastic top or plastic extension of the center jet will break off.
Customerdonna from houston TX
I reviewed the choices available, found what I needed, ordered it, got it (quickly), and dropped it into the dishwasher....happy happy!

Unscrewed the old nut, attached the new arm to the new nut and screwed it in.Getting the handle off of the old silverware basket was very tough but I did it with help from two of my kids. Why do they call it an 8-section basket when there are only 7 sections? Oh, well.

New Pistons forward Luigi Datome
- Filed Under
Joe Dumars, Pistons president of basketball operations, said the goal after the season was to become more talented, more athletic and put better shooters on the floor.
Luigi Datome should help in all those areas.
The 6-foot-9, 225-pound small forward averaged 16.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game and was the Italian League MVP for Roma. He shot 51% from two-point land and almost 40% from behind the arc. ...

My factory Vespa bike can travel around 150 KM with its 200 CC engine and 8 lt. of gasoline. What are the suggested modifications to increase the fuel efficiency that one refill will cover? Without modification like get a bigger fuel tank
Sounds like you are talking about a Vespa PX - according to the manual you should get 260Km on a tank. I think this is if you are a very small Italian and travel at a constant 60km/hr. Specs for newer Vespas like the GTS 250 have to conform to EU measurement standards and therefore are more realalistic. Your 150 km is about what I get for mixed riding - I get 130 Km full throttle on motorways.
Agree with the other answer (tire pressure, weight, etc). In addition you can try a windscreen to reduce your drag (or drive around in a race position). Tyre pressure reduces rolling resistance but aerodynamic drag is your biggest enemy. Also avoid puffy jackets (you should be wearing a motorcycle jacket for protection anyway).
As an example my wife and I road for 100km on similar Vespa's, I had a screen and she didn't, I used 1 litre less. The screen also makes you go faster :)
I usually get 220km per tank at about a 80kmh average start to stop including 100kmph of 30kms on the freeway everyday. i do 500km a week. run a pipe and porting on an otherwise standad bike PX200. I recon at 60kmph and taking things easy I would get about 300km on the tank but that would be a long ride...

How do you go about teaching Delegates to new programmers? Any examples outside the programming concept that you would use to teach them?
For instance, with inheritance, you teach it as follows.
Cat is an Animal. Dog is an Animal too.
So, we can put the common features that all Animals have in the Animal group (read as class) and then put the specific features that Cats have in the Cat group (read as class).
In a similar way (or a different way), how would you teach Delegates?

Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: Got the Flip & Pitch as my first flipping stick and I am definitely happy with this purchase. IM8 blank is very sensitive and I really like the deep blue finish of the blank. Not the lightest flipping stick out there, but it does feel balanced with my Lews Tournament Pro SS. Been using it religiously along the CA delta and I have had no issues hauling bass out of the thick weeds and muck. Cork on the grip feels surprisingly nice for this price. Looking for a great <$100 rod? You cannot go wrong with this stick!
From: Richard: Dublin, CA 4/14/14
Comments: I started with the worm/jig rod, it has excellant backbone and feel. I like it so much i'm swithing all my rods to Denny Brauer Ardent rods. You are not gonna find a better rod for the money
From: Mike: TX
Comments: I just got the 7' 5" pitching model and for the money this thing is awesome. It's got good back bone and the perfect tip for making long pitches which is what I was looking for. This rod is extremely light, lighter than some 7' rods I own! Only gripe is there was a little made in china sticker on the butt cap! So not sure what's american made? The blank perhaps?

Oslo has been the capital since 1814, when Norway gained its independence from Denmark. The city is one of Europe's fastest-growing capitals, with annual population increases exceeding 2 per cent in recent years. The capital is the seat of Regjeringen (the Norwegian Government) and Stortinget (the Norwegian Parliament). The home of Norway's King Harald V and Queen Sonja, The Royal Palace, is located at the end of Oslo's main street, Karl Johans gate.
Many of Norway's main businesses and educational institutions are based in Oslo, which is also home to important cultural institutions such as the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, the Norwegian Opera and Ballet and the National Theatre.
Oslo is located innermost in the 62-mile-long Oslofjord, which is home to 40 islands. Over half of the municipality of Oslo is covered by forests and parks, making Oslo a truly green city.
Oslo's climate is milder than its latitude might indicate. Summer temperatures often equal those of cities much further south, yet the winters are cold enough to make Oslo a great skiing destination.
The prestigious Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually on 10 December in Oslo City Hall.
Oslo hosted the 1952 Winter Olympics and the 1930, 1966, 1982 and 2011 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. Every winter Holmenkollen hosts World Cup biathlon and Nordic skiing events.

Copy and paste this code into your blog/website
The capital of Norway is also its largest city. Oslo has over 600,000 inhabitants and covers 454 square kilometers, 242 of which are forests.

Don't let Moroun buy Southwestern High
Manuel (Matty) Moroun's visible track record of being a slum lord is indelibly marked on Detroit's landscape. The reality of Moroun's irresponsible contribution to Detroit's blight, such as his ownership of the vacant Michigan Central Station, is a valid consideration in denying him permission to buy the former Southwestern High School.
Despite the disingenuous rhetoric of Moruon's representatives, Moruon's gambit to purchase this property has less to do with constructive commercial development, and more to do with maintaining his bridge monopoly.
Eminent domain is a viable alternative in dealing with the predator practices of Moroun and his bridge company.

Angelo Henderson's death a great loss
On Feb. 15, metro Detroit lost a great man. Not a mayor, city councilman or legislator, but a radio talk-show host, minister and journalist. He did not talk the talk, but he walked the walk.
I work as a chemist in a Highland Park lab. My comfort in the lab was his radio show on WCHB. I always listen to the programs to see what was going in on in the city. Especially "Your Voice."
Angelo wanted all people in the city of Detroit to look out for one another and to love one another. He felt the crime in the city was stifling the city's growth. This definitely is true.

Some Texas gun-nut hires an escort for Christmas Eve and then shoots her because she won't have sex with him and is acquitted by a Texas jury. This is because of a pro-gun law that allows individuals to kill people for alleged offenses that would never warrant the death penalty in court.
Even in light of this so-called vigilante justice made legal by the statute, it is difficult to see how his behavior was justified, given that escorts are not entitled to deliver sex under the law, and delivering sex for money is an illegal transaction.
Like the Florida law that allowed a man to murder an innocent student neighbor and a new movie called "The Purge," in which laws are suspended every night to allow people to murder whomever they don't like, this is further evidence that the U.S. is becoming a hellhole of gun-toting murderers.
You elect people who make laws like this. Even the president is allowed to murder using drones to indiscriminately destroy and kill whole neighborhoods of families. Is this the nation we dream of? What is the matter with you people?

Of the 30,000 types of spiders, the black widow is probably the one best known and feared. Although spiders are often blamed for all kinds of symptoms, from local itching to diffuse rashes, the fact is that spiders rarely bite humans, and in fact, most spider bites do not even break the skin.
The bites of very large spiders such as tarantulas can be painful. Otherwise, in the temperate regions, the only spiders to be feared are the black widow and the brown recluse.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) – Did you know that lead-based paint can release toxic lead dust in your home? Once a year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services educates people about the dangers of toxic poisons.
During the week of Mar. 17, the department encourages people to reassess their homes for any poison risks. The Lead Safe America Foundation says there are an estimated 80 million homes that contain lead-based paint in the U.S. This can be very harmful to children.
Simonton Windows and Lead Safe America Foundation have worked together by sponsoring a series of short on-line videos to prevent lead-poisoning.

ANNISTON, ALA. — Police have arrested a man in Georgia in the killing of an Alabama National Guard sergeant last year.
The Anniston Star reports that 37-year-old Kenyata Demetris Burton is the third person charged in the killing of 24-year-old Dequirea Royal of Anniston.
Police say Burton was arrested last week in Columbus, Ga. He had been living in the southwest Georgia city.
Court records show Burton is in jail on a murder charge, and he didnt yet have a defense attorney on Friday.
Royal was found dead from a bullet wound inside her apartment in April 2012. She was in the Alabama Guard and planned to deploy to Afghanistan a few months later.
Two men were previously charged with murder in the killing. Authorities havent released a possible motive.
