At 9, he was all I could think about. At 11, he was my first love. At 17, he was gone. Although Lex was not a person, he was more than just a horse.
He was my best friend, my partner in crime and my protector. With him, I was invincible. From our first day together, even on the rocky days, Lexis taught me many lessons. Most importantly, he showed me the purest form of love.

William Penn said, "Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit."
Although this is a strong statement, it is based on truth. Many students today hunt for popularity as a desirable goal. This, however, might not be in the students' best interest. However covetable to him or her, the search for popularity can limit a student's personal growth.

I know relating to me is difficult, even for those people who surround me every day, and I can't force them to do so, but despite my "gift," we share both sorrow and laughter. Every day, I hold my head up and take this world head-on instead of turning and dodging around corners as I did a lifetime ago, before I accepted that Tourette's syndrome can be both a curse and a blessing.

Students enhanced and edited their artwork and included their portrait using Adobe Photoshop CS5.

I can feel the scream trying to escape my throat, but it's too dry. The adrenaline is pumping and I'm too terrified to make a sound. My breathing consists of short, fast breaths, and my heart feels as if it will burst right out of my chest at any second.
It might not be R2D2 or advanced cybernetics, but students in Central Hardin High School's principles of engineering class are learning though creating their own robots.
The class is a part of local funding provided by Project Lead the Way, a national provider of science, technology, engineering and mathematics curriculum in middle and high schools.

no, but we used to years ago. my brother's girls had one and a friend of ours had one, and every time we'd go visit either of them, my youngest would make a bee line straight for the rocking horse and get on it. She seemed almost obsessed with them so, that year we bought her her own for Christmas. She was 3. Do you know she never got on that thing? All she would do was hang and drape things on it as if she were decorating it. and it was the same as the other two that she couldn't seem to get enough of. lol go figure

text: MTA President Paul Toner responds to NRA proposal to place armed guards in every school The NRA's proposal to bring armed guards into every school in our nation is impulsive and wrongheaded. Rather, our society must dedicate itself to reducing gun violence. We must seek sensible approaches to school safety and to ensuring that dangerous weapons such as assault rifles are strictly regulated so that there will never be another tragedy like the one that occurred in Newtown one week ago. The MTA believes that guns have no place in our schools. As we continue to mourn the Sandy Hook victims, Massachusetts educators remain fully committed to providing every child with a safe learning environment. In the days ahead, we expect to work with President Barack Obama, our congressional delegation and Governor Deval Patrick to advance reasonable proposals toward this goal. This will involve increasing access to mental health services and a focus on preventing bullying, as well as meaningful action to decrease gun violence. See Also: The New York Times: N.R.A.

French Braided Bun
This is a pretty and easy hair style to do as long as you are familiar with the technique of French braiding!
These are some instructions on how to arrange your hair into a beautiful French braided bun:
Step 1. Make two French braids on both sides of your head similar to the way you do pigtails. You can start anywhere you want, e.g. behind the hairline or other places.
Step 2. When the braids are finished, tie the ends of your braids off.
Step 3. Wrap one of the braids into a bun and then wrap another braid around the first bun.
Step 4. Secure the bun with bobby pins or claw clips.
Enjoy your hair style for a long time because it is very secure and will last on your head for a good day if not more.
You can leave the tips of the braids loose and arrange them up your head similar to this:

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Jun 14, 2012.
Chaz for Chandler?
I've been noticing a divide amongst the team between the "plankers", CG and Daye, and some of the non-plankers like Hot Rod and Knight. Hopefully thzt idiot Coach Frank will get his arms around this thing quickly, but so far he has done nothing but take the summer off. (Why isn't he coaching the Dominican team this summer? He's a genius all the sudden and doesn't need the practice?) This guy is probably the first in a long line of Platinum Equity yes men for us fans.......
This is very "pass-esq" ...Like Ernie, the first thing I thought of after reading this tweet was Rod Stuckey.
I actually thought of that moment 3 hours after eating Taco bell..............
Good tweet today: "Mantenga apoyando el equipo Republica Dominicana, Yo creo en ustedes, Londres es el objetivo, Quiero mi pais mucho"
Good workout today: CV tweeted to Daye that he would see him down in Orlando.
I recognize the Dominican Republic................let me guess what he might say. "Me supporting the Dominican Republic's chances in the Olympics is like expecting me to play defense"..............
Joe just put together a package. NBA Trade Machine - ESPN
3 solid players for a guy with a bad back? They should throw in a pick.
Let me say that reading that sentence, it's like I just realize this guy can't speak in spanish. (He's worse in spanish than I'm in english!) The correct form would have been "me mantengo apoyando al equipo de Republica Dominicana, creo en ustedes, el objetivo es Londres, Quiero mucho a mi pais" And in english what he tried to said would be something like this: "I support Dominican Republic team, I believe in you, London is the goal, I love my country so much" _____________________________________ I watched the second half of that game, just because I was chilling at home and looking for some better things to do than study. So I start looking how bad CV is if a crappy team like Dominican Republic didn't want him in the roster. And I saw this team playing not a good basketball (Against Russia who were killing them with threes and points in the paint and excellent defense) but I see that in offense, they run a lot, a lot of intents of fast break... moving the ball really fast. (And the articles of CV getting cut by Dominican Republic said that he being fat would have make them slow and can't ask for the entire roster to slow it down for CV.. I could confirm that..)
Someone should tell Charlie to take a shower and put on a clean shirt before he gets in his whip. Those seats are gonna stink.
LOL -17 Wins for Orlando on that one. ...that's MINUS SEVENTEEN!!!
It's ok because he doesn't sit, he planks.
Vernon Macklin tweet: "Nothing to lose...."
I see that Vernors shows up on the following list (NBA players publicly following porn stars on Twitter). A Johnson is dominating this list by the way. A couple others that show up: Vern Hamilton, John Salley, Jalen Rose, DeJuan Summers and Damien Wilkins (with the profile: God, Family, Basketball or something like that). A Bunch Of NBA Players Follow Porn Stars And Booty Models On Twitter Seems to be a highly coincidental number of Pistons on the list. I wonder if this is how players are discovered by the Pistons' staff.
Booty models.............that's funny. I'll have to check my Penney's catalog for that..........
hahahha thanks for that link, it made me laugh hahah.. I read a comment in that link.. let me look it for you guys.. " Amir Johnson has the strongest wrists in the NBA by far. " I wonder how many NFL and soccer players follow those ... ladies
Booty models............wonder what size of foot is ideal...............
"I can do all through Christ who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13 (A Tweet by Charlie Villanueva, followed by this photo). You have to give it up for Charlie - he's one of the top deep shooting forwards on the planet and has been regarded as something of a vagabond his entire career; despite this causing him to lose his mind a few times, he has not once denounced his faith.

I.....this...I don't even....
source: http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/18/world/...e-pornography/They stare wide-eyed from the pages of magazines, childlike in stature but engaged in extremely explicit sexual activities.
They may be drawings, but critics say the images found on the pages of some of Japan's erotic manga are so disturbing they should be banned.
"I believe that this kind of terrible material is not protected under freedom of expression," says Masatada Tsuchiya, a member of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
On Wednesday, Japanese lawmakers passed a law that will see people caught with child porn jailed for a year or fined up to $10,000.
However, it doesn't include possession of anime or manga depicting child abuse, no matter how sexually explicit.
The bigger problem, she said, is that manga permeates Japanese culture. It can be seen everywhere, from street signs to government pamphlets.
Often, the characters depicted are young, vulnerable girls who meet consumers' desires for something "kawaii" or "cute."
"'Cuteness is a problem," she said. "Because cuteness is something that makes you feel you have to protect the person, and there's a very fine line between 'I can protect the person' and 'I can control the person.'"
She said the prevalent depiction of young girls, especially in "Lolita complex" material, risks giving "the wrong impression of women."
"If you're looking at it all the time, how are you actually seeing people? Is it just a fantasy, or maybe some people with a bit of a wrong mind think that is actually there, and that is the way to treat women. So there is a risk," she said.
Go home, CNN, you are drunk.

The entire list
Azerbaycan ATV - August 27- 2008
Adnan Oktar: Turkey is actually an exemplary country for the Islamic world. That is to say; Turkey has a structure that sees and practices Turkish nationalism and also Islam very nicely, as well as it does internalize secularism in a nice way. But all Islamic countries agree that Turkey is a country that practices and experiences Islam in the best way. I mean; in terms of cleanliness, in the way they live and in their fear of Allah; Turkey is definitely prudent. Perhaps, this might be inherited from the Ottomans or perhaps derived from the influence of the scholars of the Ottomans. Somehow, Allah makes this beauty happen.That's why, I do think that Turkey is very suitable for the leadership of Turkish Islamic Union.

FLOUR is a fashionable ingredient nowadays. In the last couple of years a variety of flours has appeared in Italian food shops, even here in the province! Manitoba, spelt, rice, barley, chick peas flours. Flour for pizza, flour for flat breads, flour for… you-name-it-it's-there.
However, the average Italian home cook uses two types of white flour :
"00" flour : finely ground, soft-wheat flour, suitable for cakes, pastry and pasta
"0" flour : relatively coarse white flour , suitable for pizza, focaccia and bread
Traditionally fresh pasta is made with "00" flour to obtain a silky texture and delicate taste. Durum wheat flour (semolina) is used to make dried pasta like spaghetti, penne, fusilli or homemade orecchiette e cavatelli.
Even though "00" flour might not be available outside Italy, it is still possible to make very good fresh pasta using pastry or cake flour.
Adding different flours will change the taste and texture of the pasta. To avoid disasters, it is better to start with no more than 20% of the new flour.
Fresh pasta made with 100% semolina is chewy and hard to work with. Pasta dough made with regular baking or "0" flour is often sticky. The resulting pasta lacks body even when dry and overcooks easily.
In my family, the only other ingredient used to make pasta is eggs. Fresh organic eggs if possible. And a bit of time. That's it.

I have noticed more and more often threads being started in the wrong catagories and not being moved to the proper ones. The main case and point are the posts of FS: WTB: threads all over the board that should be in the cargo hold.
I also see alot of threads made asking the exact same question that the thread before it already asked and was answered. Could not these be merged or deleted?
Also, there are a lot of sticky threads that are old and outdated (i.e. links no longer work or images are gone), or they really contain no real useful information. Does anyone even look at them anymore? seems like everyone just skips the sticky's and makes their own thread.
Aah, that feels better. Sorry, I just had to vent. It's just my OCD.

Rick Belluzzo, chief executive officer of Quantum and former president of Microsoft, will present the third Mervyn Young Memorial Lecture, sponsored by the CU-Boulder College of Engineering and Applied Science, on Oct. 18.
The 45-minute lecture, titled "Information Technology Industry: Time of Crisis or Opportunity?" is free and open to the public. The lecture will begin at 5 p.m. in Old Main Chapel on the CU-Boulder campus. A reception will follow the presentation.
Belluzzo has more than 25 years of experience in the technology industry, including over 20 years at Hewlett-Packard during which he managed and grew some of the company's largest, highest growth and most profitable businesses. He also served as chairman and CEO of Silicon Graphics, and he held several executive management positions at Microsoft, including president and chief operating officer.
He joined Quantum in September, succeeding Michael Brown as CEO. Quantum is a global leader in data protection and network storage systems, and the world's largest supplier of tape drives.
Belluzzo plans to discuss "the most turbulent time the information industry has ever seen, including what brought the industry to its current place and what a business leader needs to do to survive." He will include perspectives from a variety of people he has talked with over the last few months, including CEOs, investors, venture capitalists and customers.
The Mervyn Young Memorial Lecture Series was established through a private endowment in the department of computer science to explore issues of computing technology and society. Bill Joy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, presented the inaugural lecture in April 1999. Paul Horn, IBM senior vice president and director of research, gave the second lecture in September 2000.
The Belluzzo lecture will follow the grand opening of the Discovery Learning Center at the College of Engineering and Applied Science, which also will be held Oct. 18, from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
For more information on the Mervyn Young Memorial Lecture call the CU-Boulder computer science department at (303) 492-6101.


text: Just got back from my trip up north with my brother from California. Ended up in the Delta Junction area. Not too hot. Hunted Geese with C&S Charters in the barley fields, but the local birds had been shot at for 5 days by the time we got there. Managed to drop one Honker and that was it for the barley fields. They said the "Northern" birds would be in the area around the 15th for a few days, but couldn't wait that long, so we hunted Moose HARD for five days on the Tanana with my 16 footer. Went about 25 miles up river each day at O-Dark-Thirty then drifted with the oars down to the Johnson River (about 20 miles) each day. Managed to bag another Honker off a sand bar on the way down river the second day. Did the north side of the river where ANY Bull is legal. Saw lots of cows with calves, but no takers :( Then on the last day we hunted an area we were told about by a local and my brother dropped a very nice spike-fork. We were thanking the Lord for his gift and busy quartering up the moose when the land owner came along and told us we were in a "Permit Only" area. We called Fish and Game on the cell phone and they confirmed that we were "just" over the line of demarcation by about 100' or so. Had to finish quartering, bring the moose in, pay a $300.00 fine and deliver the moose to the local packing plant. There the $300 would be spent processing the meat and covering the cost of the transportation to an old guy who lived in the bush, had just lost his wife and was partially disabled. Well, at least it went to someone who really needed it. That was about it !! :( :( Hope you guys had allot better luck with the ducks. Got the blind finished on my boat and I'm itching to try it out down around the hayfields somewhere. Hoping to get Wed. Thur. off, but since the lodge where I work is shutting down for the winter I may have to stay and run the crew through the week and hunt on the weekend. Any ideas for a spot to put some sweet duck meat in the freezer? My usual hunt is on the Susitna River, but I've seen VERY few ducks so far this fall. Good luck to all. (PM if necessary, thanks)

Sorry in advance for the long read
Have any of you guys had issues with consumers energy? A little background Info on my issue. December 2011, two months after moving into our new home I caught the meter reader entering into my pole barn. He had no idea anyone was home because my gf had taken the car to work and it was my day off. I heard my house alarm go off (dogs), so I went downstairs to see what was up. As he was reading the meter he was so concerned with the dog that he never noticed me standing in the window, I watched him as he walked into my pole barn looked all around and then peeked into a portable carport where our other dog zeus was in his running kennel. Well Zeus does not like strangers when me or the gf are not around and jumped towards him barking and showing teeth still in his cage. By now I am outside going to confront this guy and see why he is snooping around, I asked him what exactly he thought he was doing, his response was "my job". I told him to leave immediately or I was calling the police. He gets back in his vehicle and proceeds to leave. 10-15 minutes later 8 fully armed police officers surround my house and blow through the door. They threw me on the floor and hand cuffed me and walked me to a cruiser, never read me my rights or told me why I was being arrested. After getting to the county jail, I am told that I am being charged with assault with a deadly weapon because my dog attacked the utility personnel. (even though he was in his cage?) I got there on a Thursday at 1:35 pm, sat all there all weekend long in a drunk tank only to have the sheriff come personally let me out and apologize for this "minor misunderstanding" and that I was free to go and all charges had been dropped.. Consumers would take no responsibility because I had no solid proof he was snooping around. so as a result of me being a "threat" to them, they had me sign a contract with them saying they would not come on my property with out police escorts or 24 hrs notice except for an emergency. I agreed and since then have been reading my own meter read and sending it in. I now have 18 cameras covering every inch of my home and property. as of december they have been violating the contract and having a reader come out even after I have sent them a correct and accurate read. Well two days ago they came for the January read,( didn't know they were coming and found foot prints and tire tracks) immediately check the DVR and now i have the worker on camera, name tag and all walking around the back of my house to the back door and wiggle the handle (always locked with deadbolt and chain on top of the handle lock) then walk along the opposite side of my house peeking into the windows along the side of my house and in the garage windows.
I've already contacted the sheriffs department and made reports, they have a copy of the video as well. An are pressing charges.
My question is, is there anything more I can do towards consumers itself. Like property damages from when they cut the power after the first incident because im a "threat" and all the pipes froze then burst when they thawed causing major water damage? The money I spent for jail fees, compensation/lost wages for the decent job I had and lost because of no call no shows while sitting in a drunk tank. Or what about the cost of having my dog impounded and fees to get him out.
If you guys have any ideas or suggestions, I'm open to them.
Also I was never charged with anything and there was no evidence against me and now that I have him on camera, is that gonna help anything besides getting him nailed with some charges?

Damn, i'd include those damages in any settlement. because it was their negligence that started it in the first place
honestly though, good luck getting anything positive to come for you of this. I've heard multiple stories (true ones) about situations like this and nothing ever got done about it; i'm sure consumers just fires the employee or "suspends" them and calls it good

circling the drain
somehow I feel like part of this story is missing.
A caged dog barking at a utility reader doesn't typically end up in multiple armed policemen storming your house cuffing you stuffing you and giving you no explanation......
That said, the meter reader is clearly snooping around (you have it on camera).....get a LAWYER and make sure you hire him from a building, not from the gl4x4 pub, and sue the shit out of them.

That sucks. But like Kickstand said, there seems to be something missing to the story to make quite a bit armed officers show up, barge in, and take you in.
I would talk to an attorney, tell them the whole story, and see what they think. But I would think Consumer has their own lawyers that will shit all over you if you try and sue them IMO

very possible consumers will tell you the meter readinig is a contracted service therefore the liability will fall on the company that hires the bozos that are trying to loot you.

DOES HORRIBLE.I AM BARELY INTO THE 13S.EVERYBODY TELLS ME MAX TIMING SHOULD BE NOT MORE THAN 20.IT LIKES 18 AT IDLE AND 32 AT 3000.I HAVE TAKEN SO MUCH TIMING OUT IT BARELY RUNS!DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERTISE ON THESE OLD HEMIS, TO KNOW IF MORE TIMING IS OK?
Total timing should be 15 at idle and 35 degrees total at 3000 rpm with the vac line off.
No expert here, and I don't know the answers. But I do have a question: Why a 4000 rpm converter? That just seems super radical.
Don't know what gear he is running but I would think he needs every bit of a 4000 stall converter with the 850 carb and the 30" slicks, lets not forget the 304 duration cam @ .050. That is radical and probably hurting the vehicles bottom end performance. You want to go faster, get rid of the loppy cam, the slicks are likely to tall and the carb is way to big. Not sure what gear you have but here goes anyway, 4.10/4.30 with no more than a 28" tall slick. 750 HP DP holley carb. 240 max. duration at .050. If available I would even go with a 236 duration @ .050 with around .520/.530 lift. Those changes are worth at least 1/2 a second, probably a lot more with some carb tuning.
It looks like he's running a 4:30 with a spool. I was wondering the same thing myself. If he had enough convertor, and or rear gear.
Thank you for the input.MY APOLOGIES ON THE CAM SIZE. those specs were for the 452. the correct cam spec is an isky 505 with 254 dur@50 and 108 ls. installed 2deg advanced.this motor came from a 58 300 that had factory dual quads. my intake is a hot heads tunnel ram, single 4BBL plate and the 850dp.i am sure my max timing of 20deg was the issue.i took out the vacuum, blocked my mech advance to 16 deg on top of my initial of 15. my total adv is now 31/32. I will be running at atco nj this oct-6.I will keep you posted. Bob at hot heads says my peak power is 6,200 to 6,300.I will change my shift points also. DO YOU REALY THINK AN 850 IS THAT BIG? THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR HELP. MARK
Yes an 850 is big, I struggled with one for yrs on a 440 before I ever got a decent time out of it. e.g. A friend of mine has been experimenting with carbs on his 10.6 second 408 Aspen. Thats 10.6 with a holley HP/DP 750. He bought a new 950 and the car slowed down half a second. He took it back to the so called pro who built it and swapped it for a 830DP. Again the car rain poorly, I believe 4 tenths slower than the 750. So ya, an 850 on a 392 is way to much. Its all about the velocity. Plus the duration is way to much 252 @ .050 is radical in my opinion. Certainly it will run better with the timing banged up 12 degrees. I am just saying it would run better with the right carb size, the right cam, and the right tire.. Instead of barely running 13's you should be well into the 12's with the light weight car. Good Luck Doc
DOC. I value your opinion, thank you. i will try both an 850 and 750. I will keep you posted. Mark.

I have a pre-bent and formed Yugo receiver, that is not only undrilled, but unmarked as well. Can anyone direct me to where I can get a template to use for drilling the holes?

I have a pre-bent and formed Yugo receiver, that is not only undrilled, but unmarked as well. Can anyone direct me to where I can get a template to use for drilling the holes?
I don't have a template but would like to know where you bought the bent/formed reciever. Thx-Ace
You can get them at marsh hawk arms AK-47.org / Marsh Hawk Arms Home Page- AK-47 80% receiver blank kits, AK47 parts, Pre-ban Magazines and more. Build your own AK-47 type rifle. or cold steel Products/Order
I Ordered in January from Cold Steel Just got it - Seems that CS has gone out the window - almost as if they have short timers mentality.
Value is only so-so $40 for a Blank Then $10 for Rails and Then $10 for shipping the 7-9 weeks wait - at $60 - it is worth the Extra money for a 100% receiver.
I have my Cold Steel order shoud be shipped next week. Can you tell me if they come with the templates glued to them... For that matter do they come with templates at all?
Not sure what you meant by this quote "Seems that CS has gone out the window - almost as if they have short timers mentality."
Really check the template from cold steel mine was wrong, the pin for the hammer was at least a quarter inch off
What I meant by CS has gone out the window - is that my order was quoted with a 4 week delivery it was'nt shipped for 7 weeks. (After being promised in e-mails otherwise)
By Short-timers - it seems that they are throwing as much mud on the wall before a new "ban". The 80% bent that I got had a " AK-74/Krink Saftey Dimple/ indent on the left side - I was told that this is "how they do all of them otherwise the safety lever wouldn't work as it would be too short" - I tested a bunch of Levers in Yugo's they all fit fine.
(It would be less of an issue if they stated this anywhere on the website - but what was worse is that I now have to drill on a crease - because it is so far off center see photo and the half-circle - this was using real measurements on center with calipers from an original de-milled receiver not a template.)
I know that you have a "Yugo" and that this is for an AMD-65 - (Side folder) The cut for the side folder is off an It will not close (fold down). As well the rear trunnion fit has a huge gap on the top left corner wall and the trunnion of .0713" --think a gap that is thicker than a quarter on the left and a .052" - more than a Dime on the upper right corner wall. I am going to have trim some shims and spot weld them to make sure that the receiver and the rear trunnion don't have a ton of space to move around or flex. ( I am wondering about the top rivets on the rear - if they will be long enough)
If the safety lever was to short on the left side ( where the shepherd hook goes) I figured that a thin washer that was spot welded would fit the bill but - the AMD-65 lever extends out further than flush (it push out past the body on the left side on a 1.6mm Yugo receiver) So it is not even necessary.
As to CS it was over promise and under deliver - 1 week to respond to e-mails and phone messages.
I could go on but why waste anymore time or energy - I bought a 1.5mm (.064") Laser cut receiver - which is what I more than likely end up using. The laser cut holes are OC and match up ( You still have to drill the holes for the rivets )
Picasa Web Albums - Malachi - Coldsteel
I am unsure if I can post the link direct but if you PM I will send you the link ( they have both 80% and Laser Cut in stock -
Please help me out here,
I'm new to AK builds as most of my experience is in assembly of AR15s, is a yugo different than an AMD flat?
Sorry I'm so ignorant, I'm trying to learn.
I do know the rear trunnion is specific on AMD sidefolder,
I do know about underfolder cut receivers,
I do know milled vs sheetmetal,
However, I do not know if yugos have other differentiating features that would cause them to be specific in 80%.
Is the template that you're looking for specific for a yugo?
I downloaded my template in a printable PDF. Fixed stock, non-specific.
I have template collections for different AK variants let me know if your looking email@example.com

North Allegheny chasing third straight WPIAL championship
No team has won three consecutive WPIAL Quad-A football titles, a feat North Allegheny would accomplish with a win Friday at Heinz Field.
It requires a consistency George Novak certainly understands. His talented Woodland Hills teams from a decade ago nearly won four straight, but a one-point championship game loss in 2000 left a gap between the Wolverines' titles in 1999, 2001 and 2002.
Sometimes, it's just that close.
"In Quad A, it's very tough," said Novak, whose 2003 team reached only the WPIAL quarterfinals, "because every year those top eight teams, anything can happen. It's tough to do it every year, year in and year out. There are not too many teams like that, when you look back in history."
Six teams have won consecutive Class AAAA titles, including Mt. Lebanon which did it twice (1980-81, 1983-84), yet failed to reach the title game in 1982 or '85. That same fate befell Gateway (1985-86), Upper St. Clair (1988-89) and Central Catholic (2003-04). None of those five returned to the WPIAL final with a chance at three straight titles.
For them, the third time wasn't the charm.
Yet, after winning in 2010 and 2011, No. 1 North Allegheny (12-0) returns to the WPIAL championship game to face No. 7 Woodland Hills (10-2) at 2 p.m. Friday at Heinz Field. A victory would earn the Tigers a unique place in WPIAL history.
"It's been a step-by-step process," North Allegheny coach Art Walker said. "We wanted to win our conference, make it to the WPIAL final and win it. The focus wasn't about getting three. It was about that second goal. Now, the third goal is to win it."
Woodland Hills could halt the historic run, but Novak won't besmirch the Tigers' success.
"They have some great players," Novak said. "They're the biggest school, and all of their sports are very successful. They're a very good team, offensively and defensively. They're exceptional. That's why they've won."
Michigan recruit Pat Kugler, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound tackle, has been a starter since 2010, when North Allegheny began its 11-game streak in the WPIAL playoffs. The Tigers also have a 2,400-yard passer in Mack Leftwich, and a halfback who's nearing 1,000 yards in Alex DiCiantis. The team has averaged 40.5 points while allowing 6.8.
"Their offense is great," Novak said, "and their defense is greater."
This has been a season of growth for the Wolverines, who returned just two players who scored a year ago. Both of them were unavailable by midseason, yet the team kept improving.
"George Novak does a great job of identifying kids and putting them in the right positions as the season goes along," Walker said. "They're playing their best right now."
Among those fruitful decisions was featuring freshman halfback Miles Sanders, who has 10 rushing touchdowns. He missed the semifinal win over Upper St. Clair with an injury but has been cleared to play Friday. The Wolverines also will lean on senior Cody McClelland, a 1,600-yard passer.
"They're throwing now from the shotgun more than they ever have," Walker said. "Their quarterback throws a heck of a deep ball. That's a tribute to their coaches, putting kids in positions to be successful."
This will be Novak's 10th title game; he also won Class AAA in 1982 with Steel Valley.
For Walker, this will be his sixth WPIAL championship appearance in 15 seasons, and he already has four titles.
"He's got a great staff, and that's a big part of it," Novak said. "If he stays at North Allegheny, he should pass us all."

Today, Sri Lnkan air force planes destroyed a Tamil rebel base in retaliation for suicide attacks which killed a government minister and 13 other people. Sri Lankan forces once again are "pounding away" at Tamil rebel forces, in a war that has gone on for quarter of a century in an unrelenting exchange of killing and destruction on the part of both sides. This seemingly endless war has caused the death of at least 70,000 people in a destructive cycle of death followed by death. It is estimated that Tamil rebels have probably undertaken about 240 suicide attacks against civilians during the course of a war without end or -purpose?
In the latest episdoe of mayhem the suicide bomber blew him or herself up at the opening ceremony of a marathon race, killing the highways minister, a formr Olympian, together with a dozen people and sending a 100 to the hospital. A witness, Nalin Warnasoonya, said: "I saw severed heads, hands, legs.." lying around"
The world little notes nor long remembers any of these death scenes on Sri Lanka since it is too busy with death in other parts of the world. Reports of what happened in Sri Lanka, at best, will get a passing moment on the six o'clock news report, and then on to the weather report. At some point, both sides in this troubled island must hammer out some form of resolution of the conflict.

was it the .50 AE, .44mag, or .357mag?
I shot a Desert Eagle for the first time today! It wasn't nearly as bad as it usually appears to be. I had a friend who was fooling around with one once and he knocked himself out cold. Ever since then I have refused to touch them. But a customer where I work has one and she brought it in today. I keep telling her I want to try it, and today she had ammo. She hasn't shot it yet herself (she actually bought this gun because it belonged to a guy who let her shoot it one time... and she landed in the hospital when it smacked her in the head. She wanted the gun, but she's afraid to shoot it now). I only shot one round out of it and I flinched really, really bad (closed my eyes and all, not intentionally) so I completely missed the target. But I think the next time she comes in I may ask to shoot it again and put a box through it.
Anyone else own one? What are your thoughts on the weapon, as far as quality, handling, etc? I'm not considering buying one, it costs more than I have in my savings. But I hear mixed reviews. Just curious.
was it the .50 AE, .44mag, or .357mag?
What caliber was it? I had a 50AE that I put over 1500 rounds through, then a friend of mine offered me 2X what I had in it. He's only run 3 mags through it since he's owned it.
D'oh! I have a bad case of the dumb today, you'll have to forgive me. It was the 50 AE.
I have never been able to shoot one
From what I hear they are decent guns. Some of the models don't like certain ammo though

Discussion in 'January 2008' started by max, Jan 6, 2008.
The issue is what I was responding to.
I don`t know how many times we have to visit this topic of Laimbeer becoming an NBA coach. Lambeer would be crazy to come into the NBA as a rookie head coach and be Mr Hard Ass. Players would tune him out in a heartbeat, as Mikhail said. Again, the best advice for Laimbs is to get an assitant head coach job, learn the NBA ropes, then see what happens.
What were you responding to?
I don't believe that at all. At the end of the day if he gets hired as head coach, he is the "boss." Teams with players who can't follow directions never win anyway so I don't think this guy has to win a title in the NBA to be listened to. It's the GM's job to fill the team with players that know how to follow instructions and have positive chemistry with their teammates. I think it's ludicrous to think a guy can't be demanding because he's new. He is who he is and his coaching style would reflect that. So for Laimbeer to be an NBA head coach he has to be somebody else? If that's the case, the teams have already hired all the someone elses. The league is full of teams with crappy coaches who haven't won anything and aren't demanding. That's like saying Laimbeer has to essentially come into the game and be Mo Cheeks on the bench. Then what the hell would you hire Laimbeer for? Just keep giving Mo Cheeks new jobs. The difference is what? Flip? Cola? Guys with a ton of NBA coaching experience that can't get the job done. A head coach is a head coach because he knows how to instruct/lead/coach players, not because he's in the NBA.
I guess we will find out if he ever becomes a head coach. He has been around the NBA long eneough to understand what to do and what not to do. He would probably be a good coach for a young upcoming NBA team with his rugged style. Sheed would tell Laimbeer to (insert your own sentence here) during a losing streak where he said anything he didn`t agree with, IMO. I never said a coach has to win an NBA title to be listened to, just have some experience as an NBA coach, that`s all. Everyone has their opinion on Lambeer becoming an NBA coach and mine is different from most, I guess we have to wait and see. Lambeer hasn`t proved he can coach/lead/ instruct anybody, which is exactly my point. I take that back, he can lead/instruct/coach women.
This is a quote from an article I posted the other day by Sam Smith. (http://www.pistonsforum.com/nba-stuff/7683-2007-08-general-league-thread-non-pistons-33.html) I was thinking about this the other day after talking to Scottie Pippen about the possibility of him coaching someday in the NBA. I told Pippen he needed coaching experience first. He asked me why. So why does someone have to sit next to a coach for years or coach in the minor leagues or overseas before becoming an NBA coach? Why isn't making split second decisions in the biggest games ever enough experience? Pippen had a good point. Larry Bird never coached. But he got a pair of good assistants, went to the NBA Finals, and was coach of the year. Doc Rivers never coached and was coach of the year in Orlando. Avery Johnson barely was an assistant. Pat Riley was mostly a broadcaster. Don Nelson was trying to get into referee school. Isiah Thomas never coached and had a nice three-year run with the Pacers. Doug Collins was a natural without any real experience other than studying the game every day of his life and being an NBA All-Star. So, Bill doesn't have any NBA coaching experience, so what? I agree with Sam. Knowing the game is more important than having sat beside a mediocre coach as an assistant. Whether Bill could manage NBA players or not seems to me a very real question. Certainly the style of coaching I read about that he shows in the WNBA wouldn't fly. He'd lose the players in a week. (As he has lost some of the WNBA players. Perhaps there would have been more titles with that bunch with another coach, who knows.) But that all assumes that Bill isn't smart enough or able enough to know how to adjust his style to the situation. That seems to me to be the real question.
All of this is true, but Owners are looking for the Company man. Somebody who projects a good image and gets along with the others in the organization. Making the owner 20 million per season (mostly the GMs job) also helps clarify the image of the coach for most owners. I'm not sure how Laimbeer looks in the area of People Skills. This may be his downfall to landing that elusive Head Coaching gig.
Skiles managed to find success using similar style. But he was working with a bunch of youngsters, his act would probably get old quick - just ask Ben.

Want to host your next event at a Massport park?
Bremen Street Park Event Application
Parks give a city breathing space and provide its residents with quiet sanctuaries from the usual urban noise of sidewalks, streets and skyscrapers. While Massport's primary mission is to provide transportation services, the enjoyment that parks and open space bring to those living near its facilities is also an important part of Massport's commitment to be a good neighbor.
Pier's Park in East Boston is an outstanding example. This award-winning park recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and offers thousands of visitors each year the chance to enjoy a peaceful afternoon while enjoying the best views of Boston on a warm summer night while taking in the free concerts provided by groups such as Zumix, the Boston's Landmarks Orchestra and others.
2014 Best of Boston Award - Best Green Space
Across the harbor is another award-winning park, the South Boston Maritime Park, a joint project of Massport, Manulife Financial and the South Boston community, which provided input on the park's design. Community meetings generated themes and ideas for the park and local students gained valuable experience offering designs and layouts. Working together, the community created a park whose nautical themes, canopied trees, mist fountain, pergolas, interactive public art displays and outdoor café give the community a place it can call its own. The new park is also intended to be part of a larger open space system that includes the Boston Harborwalk and the Eastport Park next door.
The most recent addition to Massport's numerous open space properties is the 18 acre Bremen Street Park in East Boston that provides children with a play area and spray pool, is home to the East Boston YMCA and offers garden space tended by local residents.
More than anything else they do, parks should bring communities together. Massport's parks and open space do that by celebrating the city's proud heritage and providing enjoyment to residents for many years to come.

I was up at the Anahuac NWR this morning and was talking to a "whooping crane specialist" when i asked about the incedent that happend on matagorda island last year regarding the crane being killed. She confirmed that a whooping crane was killed and was recovered by a recovery team, and just this past month was shipped off to be examined in Michigan. I was informed that if they can confirm that the crane was shot that there will be a pretty good chance that matagorda island will be closed to hunting due to the person that supposedly shot it said he mistaked it for a goose. She said that the crane was a very young crane and most likely died from some sort of human interaction with being shot the most probable.
How the hell do you mistake a 5ft tall crane for a goose???

This week I'm in Bangalore attending several partner meetings. One of these was with an application provider who has a very strong business in the telco industry. Their primary delivery model is on premise, but the private cloud portion of their business is at 15% of revenue this year and expected to grow to 40% over the next three years. In the course of talking about how the business will transition to the cloud, the CTO shared an interesting observation: cloud computing creates a desire for a menu of applications.
To explain further, in a traditional IT environment, a customer establishes a requirement for a certain capability. They form a team to define objectives and requirements, establish a budget, issue an RFP, and select a provider for the application. The key to this process is the budget. With traditional computing, there are only enough resources for a fixed solution, both from the perspective of capital expenditures and the people required for deployment. But when a businesses decides to acquire their application capabilities as a service, they are moving to an operational expense model, which frees them from having to associate new functionality with the cost of operations. This, in turns, gives the business the flexibility to consider complementary functions that can be rolled into the new service.
So, the CTO tells us, when a prospect engages with his company to evaluate a specific application, if the delivery model is private cloud, the customer invariably asks about additional capabilities and applications. This is not only an opportunity for the partner in question, it's an opportunity for the larger ecosystem.
This CTO has succinctly expressed something that we hear in a variety of ways from all of our partners: cloud computing implicitly increases demand for application capabilities. An obvious case in point is the plethora of applications on Facebook. When users don't have to install and maintain the applications themselves, they are more willing to install not just one or two, but numerous complementary functions. Of course, anyone who runs a data center would probably say Facebook makes it too easy, but that aspect can be controlled through policy and technology.
More importantly, the increased appetite for a menu of capabilities isn't met by merely providing a nifty catalog of applications. Application providers will meet their customer's needs by participating in a well-structured ecosystem of partners. Catalogs are merely an interface, the real benefit of complementary applications comes from an understanding of how applications fit together, as well as where and when a given partnership makes the most sense. And that requires a partner who can coordinate these relationships without unnecessary interference. Fostering an ecosystem in this way is exactly what IBM is doing with the Cloud Specialty.
With the partners in our program, we are helping them grow marketshare by connecting them to each other. The process is fairly manual for now, but look for tools coming later this year that will help automate some aspects of the program. But complete automation is not the goal, we are not trying to build an online matchmaking service for partners. We intend to provide the worldwide, cross industry market perspective that helps partners make sense of the opportunities they see.
Every partner that we're meeting with this week is on the cloud journey and has exciting plans for how cloud is expanding their marketshare and growing revenue. And in every case, IBM has a role to play in bringing our ecosystem to bear in building our mutual success. We look forward to growing our business with our partners.
