BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Tennessee student-athletes in baseball, softball, rowing, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, and men's and women's track & field were rewarded for their achievements in the classroom on Wednesday, as the 2009-10 Southeastern Conference Spring Academic Honor Roll was released by the league office.
UT had a total of 93 Vols and Lady Vols capture the academic honor, as 938 student-athletes among the conference's 12 schools were named to the list.
South Carolina topped the list with 109 athletes on the spring academic roster, while Alabama was second with 101 recipients.
The 2010 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2009 Summer, 2009 Fall and 2010 Spring terms.
Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student-athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution's NCAA Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria should be followed: (1) A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. (2) If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. (3) Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.

We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013. Exhibition on the blog http://zineshow.blogspot.com All works will be exhibited also in the gallery "tymutopiyapres" http://tymutopiyapres.blogspot.com is not a commercial gallery. Welcomed but not "necessarily" summary of your zine or about you or your creative work (this is necessary for further elucidation of the project and possible documentation). Zines for the exhibition please send air mail: "Zineshow" A/C 9875, Sadivnycha 19/1, 79038, Lviv, Ukraine. mailposht[.]gmail[.]com
Thank you, Enola. That's quite neighborly of you... [=
Haha, yeah exactly! A big part of it is that I can NEVER tell a joke or anything like that with a straight face--my best friend once said it was too bad because I was funny, but I could never be a comedian because I would break down laughing before I even finished the joke...I wouldn't be able to stop, and...people would just leave..XD
For some reason it cut off your last comment, and I only saw the rest of it now. That sounds weird, but really cool and interesting. I always wish I had the guts to preform anything at all.
Yeah, I like pranking people via chat of some kind, because I'm too much of a wimp to do it on the phone or in person, since I'm always scared of getting in trouble, but on the internet my troll side comes out, haha.
Yeah, it's basically the same as chat roulette accept that you don't have to use webcam if you don't want to. Most people you meet on there are just looking for "pics", but they're fun to screw with XD
Oh, I am very intrigued! What kind of music is it? Do you do like modern/interpretive dance to it? Sorry I'm asking so many questions; It's just that the only place I've had to meet cool people on the internet lately has been Omegle XD
P.S. Is that the Goddess symbol in your profile picture, or am I completely off? XD
Aw, thank you! I am sure that I will :)
i write a zine called no gods no mattress pretty often, and also some other one-shots that i feel compelled to create. my zines are intense personal kinds of zines [triggering] with little light-hearted intermissions. and i run a small radical goth distro called the ambient transient. oh yeah! i also regularly do things for graceless [http://graceless.info/] and slingshot [http://slingshot.tao.ca].

Don't take this the wrong way Chris....But you sure 'Talk' alot.:wacko

Don't take this the wrong way Chris....But you sure 'Talk' alot.:wacko
Got around to sanding the bondo and masking it off, for the main blue. Trying something new (for me at least) I couldnt find any really thin masking tape, so Im trying out the automotive pin-stripping that I have. I had bought a new roll of the stuff for my last build, so I figured I'd give it a shot. My old technique is (theoretically) not as efficient in creating a even line of seperation. I think it will turn out very well after I paint it!
You can have a clean separation line with just masking tape, even thick as butt masking tape. It is just much harder, your method works fine and makes life much easier.
Great job so far, cant wait to see more!
Oh my god! wow! This is gonna turn out excellent :thumbsup . Oh and Chris I changed my mind about the weathering and would like you to put just a bit of weathering, nothing heavy. Maybe just some smears , barely noticeable if you know what I mean ;)
Main blue is painted and dried. Im going to need to grind down a bit of the interior portion of the visor area. Discovered that it has an uneven ridge that will prevent the visor from getting in. *will not touch the paintjob*
Wow! You'll have this one knocked out in no time and be ready to start the next project. ;):D
Great job so far Chris!
I taped off the helmet so I could paint the cheeks just now. I have to do the ear's seperatly, just based on the placement and trying to tape things off. I *may* need to redo some parts of the ocean blue. I think the humidity did something to the finish of it, Im not really sure, but I dont like it. So thats what's going on now. Depending on how quickly I can fix that issue, I want to be able to move onto Rub&buffing, and wethering hopefully by the end of this week or next. Just need to get that darn RF box!
Well, I usually dont like to do this, and I think others dont as well, talking about the mistakes/errors on my work, but this is to show the where the helmet is right now. I have not had much time as I had previously thought to get more work done. While I am very happy with how clean of a seperation line was created and the color of the cheeks, the pin-stripping tape was strong enough to pull off tiny bits of the light blue :ugh: What this means is that I need to tape off the cheeks completly, sand and re-paint the ocean blue. Also, despite being completly covered and filled, that darn crack reappeard. Im going to have to try and get something stronger. I know plastic weld would work, but I have had issues getting it smooth before. Would JB weld work?
Anyways, here are current pics of the helmet. Like I said, I usually dont like to show mistakes, but I dont want to *hide* anything.
The lighting really affects the look of the colors. The cheeks have a really nice even gloss on both sides. I ran out of blue masking tape, will have to get more tomorrow!
I hate to say I told you so... but JB weld is 20 million times stronger than Bondo, it wouldn't have come apart if you would have used it first.
Gutted for ya Chris!
And by posting your 'incidents' only shows your human and honest?
Thats looking good even for that small mistake, and the crack!
Okay, I finally had enough time today to get to fixing the mistakes. I sanded the blue, most of it, making it smooth all around. I decided to take this opportunity to go back and fix areas that were bugging me, such as the inside of the rim of the visor. The way the casting came out, you can see a very defined, even line that I am assuming, came from the mold, as to where the inner edge was "supposed" to be. Same thing along the inner vertical portion of the visor. I took some bondo to it, and will have to wait until tomorrow to sand, and add more if needed.
Im also going to JB weld over that crack. The unusual thing is that after I sanded the paint that was over it, I ran my finger over it, but I could not feel the crack. Oh well, still going to cover it.
The RF stalk and box are on its way as well!
Last night, I went and sanded the bondo down. It's looking alot better now, but it just needs a bit more to even out areas. Almost there, then I'll finish up the painting! And the RF stalk came in as well
Ok, here are some quick pics. Today I went ahead and finished up the upper/inner rim of the top of the visor area. The vertical portion though is not done, *should* be done by tomorrow, I just added bondo before taking these pics. I also put some JB weld over the crack. If it still appears after this, I dont know what will cover it up.
The parts on this that appear black, is actually level and flat, it may appear to be an un-even dip, but it is just the color of the material after sanding
Going to hit it with some primer to make sure everything is looking how I want it to before I paint it.
Cool its looking good! and hopefully that darn crack wont be an issue any longer. Perhaps if you placed something to hold the visor together until the visor is installed might help it from coming back.
Going to finish sanding (hopefully no more bondo will be needed), paint some primer, and then correct anything else.
I also got the ILM cast RF box yesterday, thanks to BKBT for the help on that!
lol trying to balance out my time wisely now with everything
Alrighty then! Getting closer (in my mind at least lol) Sorry that it's taking longer then I usually would, to build one of these up, just this required a bit extra work on top of school. So Im done using bondo! I just finished up the inner edge of the visor along the mandible, and I feel it came out really great, considering how it looked before hand. The jb weld appears to be doing its job as well. The primer really shows how the surface really looks as of right now. Just a bit more sanding to finish the surface, and it's good to go for the next round of ocean blue.
Man o Man , I cant wait! the lip does look way better. :thumbsup
Hmm...Im not very happy. Ive painted the blue on the other day, and it became bubbly out of no where. Sanded it off and painted it again today, same thing. I am not understanding why this is happening now, this hasnt happend to me unless I purpously tried to...I think I may need to get a new can :ugh:
Sorry Soulassassin, trying to fix this

With the XQuery 1.0 standard, you finally have a tool that will make it much easier to search, extract and manipulate information from XML content stored in databases. This in-depth tutorial not only walks you through the XQuery specification, but also teaches you how to program with this widely anticipated query language.
XQuery is for query writers who have some knowledge of XML basics, but not necessarily advanced knowledge of XML-related technologies. It can be used both as a tutorial, by reading cover to cover, and as a reference, by using the comprehensive index and appendixes. Either way, you will find the background knowledge in namespaces, schemas, built-in types and regular expressions that is relevant to writing XML queries. This book provides:
You will also learn about XQuery's support for filtering, sorting, and grouping data, as well as how to use FLWOR expressions, XPath, and XQuery tools for extracting and combining information. With this book, you will discover how to apply all of these tools to a wide variety of data sources, and how to recombine information from multiple sources into a single final output result.
Whether you're coming from SQL, XSLT, or starting from scratch, this carefully paced tutorial takes you through the final 1.0 standard in detail.
The animal on the cover of XQuery is the satyr tragopan (Tragopan satyra), a member of the pheasant family and one of five tragopan species. This bird, sometimes called the crimson horned tragopan, inhabits the Himalayas, from Kashmir east up into Tibet and central China. Its two names are derived from the distinctive appearance of the male--his protruding fleshy outgrowths above the eyes, which look like horns, and his bright red plumage. Both plumage and horns are central to his courtship displays. Tragopans feed on insects, leaves, sprouts, and seeds and are thought to be monogamous. Although incubation is done entirely by the female, the male may assist in tending the chicks. Most tragopans are good breeders in captivity, adapting well to various cold-weather climates and becoming quite tame. Four of the five species of tragopans are in danger of extinction due to the destruction of their habitats. Unlike most fowl, tragopans live at very high elevations, ranging from 925 to 3650 meters. In the winter they are typically found in the thickest parts of pine trees, but during mating season they travel upward to the extreme limits of the forest. Finding a high branch, the male tragopan establishes a territorial perch from which he makes mating calls at five-minute intervals. His call, which some have described as similar to that of a goose or young lamb, can be heard for more than a mile.

Comments about oreilly XQuery:
This is a good title for those interested in XQuery. The author takes pains to keep the subject matter apposite. Each chapter restricts itself to a narrow subset of XQuery before moving on, thus resisting the temptation to branch out into other features which might labour the reader.Perhaps more focus could have been given to individual implementations, as Saxon is given undue prominence as the implementation of choice. However, this is probably being a little fussy, as most readers will have an implementation in mind before even considering a text on XQuery (if they don't, they should).There are plenty of other titles which would benefit greatly from following this title's general approach.

..."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S.

One of my personal pet peeves ... is ... "History repeats itself" ...History neither remembers nor repeats itself.
... Einstein related energy to mass. If something is creating energy out of nothing, then according to Einstein it is also getting bigger and bigger over time via the E=mc*c relationship.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Adidas has announced the launch of its newest running shoe, the ClimaCool Ride. The shoe features 360-degree ventilation, attacking the main cause of runners' discomfort – high humidity and temperature, the company reported. The shoe is available in 26 colors.
"We saw a need and opportunity with the ClimaCool Ride to create the perfect shoe that performs extremely well and looks good too," said Mikal Peveto, director of running for Adidas America. "At 8.9 ounces, it's lightweight and flexible with just the right amount of durability and cushioning, making it the ideal running shoe for spring and summer."
Peveto continued, "The shoe was designed with the athlete in mind so they can look and feel cool while they run, and with 26 in-your-face colors, there is something for everyone."
The ClimaCool material that makes up the upper portion of the shoe provides ventilation around key sweat zones resulting in a 20% reduction in in-shoe moisture and a 12 percent drop in foot temperature, two key factors in combating foot disease and discomfort.
The ClimaCool Ride's flexible midsole and outsole are built for speed and comfort while functional sculpting enhances the shoes breathability as you run.

The Mythical Social Contract of Job Creation
posted at 12:34 pm on January 16, 2012 by Jazz Shaw
The "King of Bain" has caused no end of woes for some Republicans, but while largely discredited, it has also given progressives a straw to grasp in this year's presidential contest. Democrats should note, however, that straws rarely provide much in the way of being serviceable flotation devices. The underlying premise of people arguing against Romney (and Bain) in specific and capitalism in general is found in the oft repeated talking points of Ed Schultz and Elizabeth Warren. The accusation they level runs along these lines: "There is a social contract. You created a factory or a business but you took all the money and failed to create the jobs for everyone. You tricked us."
The flaw here is the frequently repeated but totally fabricated idea that job creation was ever the chief goal – or even one of the goals – of industry. It never was. Job creation was simply a happy side effect of industrial activity and capitalism in general. (And when I say "happy" I mean happy for the working public at large and the government whose existence relies on keeping the unwashed masses quiet and content.) The purpose of industry, or any capitalistic activity, is and always has been to make money and generate wealth for those who established and invested in those endeavors.
Let's say you operate a factory which makes widgets, and one step in the widget creation process requires two pieces of metal to be welded together on an assembly line. Given a choice between a human being – or potentially several human beings working different shifts – and a robot which is capable of performing the welding, which would you opt for? If you have one shred of honesty left in you, you'll admit that you'd take the robot every single time. Why? Because human beings are, by nature, expensive, messy and inconvenient tools to accomplish any such goal. You have to give humans paychecks, provide them with healthcare and other benefits, arrange to take care of their taxes and monitor their performance. They go on vacation. They get sick sometimes and miss work. They get in fights with their boyfriends or girlfriends, become distracted and make mistakes. They see a better job and quit, taking their skills with them. Sometimes they die and you have to retrain someone else from scratch. But the robot sits silently in your factory and welds one widget after another, 24/7, and doesn't need time off for holidays.
If we look far enough back in time, the Luddites were correct. When they saw the machine which could do the job of many men, they foretold their own doom in terms of the working class. Businesses have always chosen and always shall choose the path which reduces costs and increases profits. When one of the options is to reduce the number of employees (or, failing that, to move the jobs to cheaper locations) they're going to wind up making that choice in order to fulfill their mandate of remaining competitive and maximizing their profits. Every… single… time. And whether the business is engaged in manufacturing or services, they must strive to be as competitive and profitable as possible, leading to the need for the services of companies like Bain Capital, who assisted many of them in reworking their business models to achieve that maximum efficiency. And, yes, that often involved eliminating or relocating large numbers of workers.
I completely understand how cold and brutal that sounds, but it's also the absolute truth. This notion that there was ever some sort of social contract between industry and labor in which capitalists had some warm and fuzzy obligation to provide jobs in exchange for the opportunity to succeed is a fantasy. And it was one which I myself subscribed to for years until many spoonfuls of the harsh medicine of reality were shoved down my throat. The only reason businesses used to hire more people is because we hadn't figured out ways to operate without them yet.
And even though the Luddites were correct, the system still managed to stagger along and function fairly well to the benefit of workers for a long time. This was largely due to the repeating pattern of The Next Big Thing. When workers with scythes were no longer required to harvest the wheat, somebody had to build, maintain and operate the tractors and combines which replaced them. When automation and cheaper foreign competition overtook our ability to profitably produce radios, we invented television and spawned a fresh industry to create those modern marvels. By the time the television manufacturing market had moved to Japan we were cooking up computers. There was always The Next Big Thing to blunt the damage to the working class as industry developed ways to make money with fewer human laborers.
But with technological advances in efficiency moving forward at the speed of light, assisting the ease of globalizing the labor market as they go, those Next Big Things on American shores have become fewer and further between. And those operating businesses responded to those opportunities. This doesn't explain all of our current employment woes, but it adds to the general climate where the supply of workers exceeds the demand of available jobs. In our anger at these losses of jobs and the perception of a growing disparity in wealth, we seek out someone to blame and find a convenient scapegoat in organizations like Bain, corporate raiders and the Vultures of Capitalism.
The only problem with this argument is that the vultures were always there. It just seems worse to you now because they've become much more efficient flyers.

text: Over the last six and a half years, I have been gathering the items needed to complete my Fett. I had finally moved into a house that had a shed that was a perfect shop, complete with workbench where I could build my Boba. As Longfellow said, "Into each life some rain must fall." We had flooding that effected my shop, but we had recovered. Then in July, I lost my job following an illness. While we made cuts here and there to try to make ends meet, I find that I must go a little further. My Fett dream must come to an end. I hope to continue checking in from time to time. I am always amazed at the talent found here. From the prop makers, to the painters, to those who research behind the scenes to find the parts that our favorite props were made from. You have all made this a great community. Thanks to all who have provided inspiration. Hopefully, my Fett parts can help others reach their goals. I will be gathering them up and taking pictures to post in the Cargo Hold. Good luck! :thumbsup


text: Customers/friends often ask what they can do with honey. To say "bake" is too general. After telling them to put honey in tea, on toast, or as a substitute for sugar, I run out of ideas. I am sure there are scores more things that can be/ are done with honey. What are some of your ideas for what to do with honey?

nano? no
Has anyone seen the new Beretta Nano?
ok, just looked it up on google images, so now
nano, yes , i have seen it!
Guns & Ammo has a write up on the Nano in the new issue. I'm really anxious to see one up close. I doubt they have hit the shops yet.
It appears to go head to head with Sig's small 9mm, and Kimber's Solo.
Cheaper than the Solo, but about the same weight (17 ounces). All three of these are bigger and heavier than some of the very smallest 9mm guns (Kel-Tec, Ruger, etc.)
I saw it advertised for $409.00 (I forget which site, though). Pretty cheap. Let's hope they did more testing than Kimber and Kel-Tec did when they released thier small 9s.
The key thing for me is going to be the trigger -- is it long like a Kahr? Heavy like the Sig? None of the early reports say much about the trigger, and that is surprising.
I find it interesting.
And I'd like to shoot one.
But I personally like hammer fired guns over striker fired guns.
Drove to a zillion stores yesterday trying to find one... No go.
I think the nano looks good and have read good reviews about it in magazines.
The Beretta site has a youtube video of someone there picking a random nano and cleaning the grease off of it and firing 1,000 rounds without malfunction (as long as they were honest with there filming) which is more than Kimber can boast.
I just wish that they would have taken advantage of the module chassis by offering more than one right out the gate (but they are not )
I am no. 16 on the waiting list at thegunsource.com They sent me a open invoice yesterday. I believe they are getting close to shipping. Beretta claimed a few days ago they are being shipped to their warehouse. I would imagine end of Oct first of November they will hit the retail stores. The question will be how many back orders will be filled with the first shipment? If the Nano pocket 9mm can fire 1,000 rounds with zero problems I am more than ready to commit. The biggest compalint I have had with pocket 9mm has been reliability. If Beretta has addressed that big issue Nano will be my only concealed period.
How can Kimber Solo even compete with Beretta Nano when the Solo costs $250 more and appears based on the Nano 1,000 challenge video on Youtube more reliable. I am sure glad I did not buy the Kimber.
by more frames i meat shape or color or texture something easily changed or even a promotional frame. No new mag needed for that.
That was just my two cents on berretta pulling themselves ahead of the micro pack
Ok, I thought we were referring to multiple frame sizes. Multiple textures would still require some retooling or different molds to alter the texture pattern and when you don't even have the base product out yet it doesn't make much sense. The good news is that if one desires different textures on a ploy framed gun there are a variety of aftermarket providers for those treatments. As for different colors, I kind of like that Beretta sticks with the norm as far as their color schemes go and the same people that can alter the texture can apply Duracoat etc. to "dress up" the gun a little. Personally I've never cared for the olive drab guns but some of the grays and tans look pretty good....
As far as "promotional" frames, what did you have in mind?
They've announced that they will follow up the 9mm with a .40 caliber version (same size and configuration). I think I'll wait. I want to see the dust settle first. I recall all the glowing reviews on the Kimber Solo when they first came out. I imagine that they shipped hand fitted weapons for the magazine reviews. Judging from what I've seen in member-driven forums, there was not the same reliability there as there was with the magazine samples.
The Nano .40 sounds perfect (if it works; if it is reliable; if it is durable); small, narrow, light and in a major caliber. Nice.
Note: I've only had one Beretta, (early version of a Cheetah--model 82?; 84?) and it was perfectly reliable. I'm looking forward to hearing owner-reports on the weapons.

Miami Hurricanes 1971 Authentic Vintage Full Size Helmet - Just as they were produced over 40 years ago, these vintage suspension helmets are individually painted, with hand-applied decals/striping, and manually assembled from more than seventy parts. The machine-sewn leather jaw pads, vintage face mask, riveted-in military style patented cloth-suspension and classic flared shell shape and size make the helmet immediately identifiable with football's "golden" era of the 1950s and 1960s. The smallest details, such as using the original brown thread stitching in the cotton suspension and using only original thin mil decals and striping (underneath suspension rivets) has not been overlooked to insure that these reproductions are accurate.

text: A few months ago I randomly sent my resume to a luxury cruise line as they had an opening for an on-board publisher / graphic artist. A few minutes ago I got an email from their HR person inviting me to interview for the position. They offer a 5-month contract followed by a 2-month vacation period prior to possible contract renewal/extension. Has anybody worked on a cruise ships? If yes, how was it, how did you like it? Also, what are the questions I should make sure to ask during the interview? All advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

"I love these stickers I purchased for my son. I plan on using these as gift tags on simple brown gift bags--so easy and just the perfect personal touch. These stickers are the most original/best that I have seen--"
"My son was so happy to see his name in print! We love them!! I just have "From Andrew" on the label, so we use these as gift tags on birthday gifts-no more lost cards!!"
"I love love loved these tag stickers. They arrived a day earlier than expected and looked gorgeous with the baby shower favors I ordered. Friends and family found it beautiful and lovely."
"My son's 2 year old birthday party was going to be held at a neighborhood fire station and this was the perfect invitation! It was the inspiration for rest of the party--cake, colors for paper goods, favors, etc. The bakery even used the invitation for the design on the sheet cake!! The best part were the matching gift tag stickers that I used on clear bags for the favors--so easy! It was actually fun putting together the favors, and it made this year's party so much easier than last year's! Most of the guests commented to me how cute the invitations were when they called to RSVP! I will definitely make this my go-to resource to plan other parties and events!"
"I was very pleased with these gift tag stickers. I actually used them for favor bags for my daughters 4th birthday party. I bought black glossy paper favor bags at a local party store and stuck one of these stickers on the outside of each bag. They looked so cute!!"

Sen. Boxer attacks Romney-Ryan Medicare plan
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - The most heated exchange during Thursday night's debate was about the future of Medicare. U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan and Vice President Joe Biden squared off in the only vice presidential debate. Many viewers were left confused as to who has the best solution for seniors and their health. Friday, Sen. Barbara Boxer wanted to set the record straight in the Coachella valley.
"These are facts," the Democratic senator said in front of a crowded room at the Mizell Senior Center in Palm Springs.
"There was $716 billion over 10 years in waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare. The president got rid of it and put it back into Medicare. Paul Ryan got rid of it and gave a tax cut to wealthy millionaires and billionaires. That's the God's honest truth," said Senator Boxer.
Boxer says the Romney-Ryan plan will end Medicare as we know it.
"That's how bad this voucher system is. It's a disaster," said Boxer.
Boxer says Romney's plan will give people who are currently under 55 a check when they are older to go and buy a medical plan of their choosing, private or public.
"Lets call it what it is. Getting a voucher in the mail is very different than getting a Medicare card that you can take to your doctor," said Boxer.
Most of people we talked to didn't like the idea. Sherman Laster, is on Medicare.
He says, "Medicare should remain as it is today without any changes."
Douglas Morton says, "Keep it the way it is with changes to secure it for the future."
Senator Boxer says, "How the heck is someone who is already maybe, that is not that well and a bit frail, going to run out, an 80 year-old person, and try to find a policy and its $6,000 short? The chances are you are not going to get any healthcare."
Tom Wasko, who is on Medicare, says he wants to be able to chose a private plan
"I had a treatment done, and the government paid a portion of it. I had to pay $3,200 of it out of my own pocket, even though it came from the government . So consequently, with the standard insurance from the private industry it would cover it all," said Wasko.
Right now Wasko believes his tax dollars are being wasted.
"They just keep taking our tax dollars and dumping it into a hole and we never get anything out of it. I spend a fortune on tax dollars and I get nothing for it," said Wasko.
Morton says, "I think really the answer is going to be how we do everything, just slow steps, a little chunk here and a little chunk there."

In what has been a wild college basketball season, bubble teams just can't seem to get out of their own way. Virginia picked up a huge win against Duke but followed it up with yet another poor loss at Boston College on Sunday. Iowa State got blown out against Oklahoma. Villanova took Pitt to OT before losing. The SEC saw all four of its bubble teams lose as Alabama, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Tennessee all went down on the road (although at least Alabama lost to a tournament team). St. John's lost at Providence. Indiana State, Arizona State, and Charlotte all lost twice. I could go on, but you get the idea. Consequently, finding 37 at-large teams this week proved to be pretty difficult. But with conference tournaments starting up this week, March is only going to get madder. Time to buckle up and enjoy the ride. The projections below take into account all games played through Monday, Mar. 4. Please note that both Cincinnati and Saint Mary's were moved down one seed line to accommodate bracketing rules. MIDWEST (INDIANAPOLIS) EAST (WASHINGTON, DC) Dayton – March 22nd/24th Philadelphia – March 22nd/24th 1) Indiana (25-4) 1) Duke (25-4) 16) Charleston So. (17-11)/Northeastern (19-11) 16) Norfolk St. (20-10)/Southern (21-9) 8) San Diego State (20-8) 8) Missouri (21-8) 9) California (20-9) 9) Memphis (25-4) Kansas City – March 22nd/24th Lexington – March 21st/23rd 5) Saint Louis (23-5) 5) UNLV (22-7) 12) Cincinnati (20-10) 12) Massachusetts (18-9)/Villanova (18-12) 4) Kansas State (24-5) 4) Oklahoma State (22-6) 13) Akron (23-5) 13) Davidson (23-7) Dayton – March 22nd/24th Auburn Hills – March 21st/23rd 6) Pittsburgh (23-7) 6) UCLA (22-7) 11) La Salle (20-7) 11) Iowa State (19-10)/Virginia (20-9) 3) Florida (23-5) 3) Michigan State (22-7) 14) Valparaiso (24-7) 14) Stony Brook (23-6) Austin – March 22nd/24th Lexington – March 21st/23rd 7) Illinois (21-9) 7) Butler (22-7) 10) Colorado (19-9) 10) Wichita State (24-7) 2) Miami, FL (23-5) 2) Louisville (25-5) 15) Long Beach State (17-11) 15) Princeton (16-9) SOUTH (DALLAS) WEST (LOS ANGELES) Kansas City – March 22nd/24th Salt Lake City – March 21st/23rd 1) Kansas (26-4) 1) Gonzaga (29-2) 16) Niagara (18-12) 16) Mercer (21-10) 8) Colorado State (22-7) 8) North Carolina State (21-8) 9) North Carolina (21-8) 9) Creighton (24-7) San Jose – March 21st/23rd San Jose – March 21st/23rd 5) Wisconsin (20-9) 5) Ohio State (21-7) 12) Saint Mary's (26-5) 12) Belmont (24-6) 4) Syracuse (23-6) 4) Marquette (21-7) 13) Louisiana Tech (26-3) 13) Bucknell (25-5) Auburn Hills – March 21st/23rd Salt Lake City – March 21st/23rd 6) Oregon (23-6) 6) Minnesota (20-9) 11) Boise State (20-8) 11) Middle Tennessee (27-4) 3) Michigan (24-5) 3) Arizona (23-6) 14) South Dakota State (22-9) 14) Stephen F. Austin (24-3) Philadelphia – March 22nd/24th Austin – March 22nd/24th 7) VCU (23-6) 7) Notre Dame (22-7) 10) Oklahoma (19-9) 10) Temple (21-8) 2) Georgetown (23-4) 2) New Mexico (25-4) 15) Robert Morris (22-9) 15) Montana (21-6) ———————– Last Four In Villanova The Wildcats played well at Pitt on Sunday, but they came up short in overtime. Still, they were able to remain in the field thanks to three wins against RPI Top 15 teams. Jay Wright's squad could definitely use a win over Georgetown in the regular season finale on Wednesday to solidify its case. Virginia As mentioned above, the Cavaliers picked up a huge home win over Duke last week, but they were unable to carry that momentum into the weekend and lost to Boston College in the closing seconds. The 'Hoos now have four Top 50 wins and a 7-2 record vs. the Top 100, but they have a staggering seven sub-100 losses. There is really no precedent for the how the committee might treat a team with so many bad losses. But with a weak bubble, I have to think they will be rewarded for their marquee wins. That said, taking care of business at Florida State and home against Maryland is a must. Iowa State The Cyclones got smoked at Oklahoma over the weekend and are now just 4-9 away from home. ISU does boast a pair of Top 25 wins, but the only other win over a team I have in the field came in the season-opener against Southern. Fred Hoiberg's club has a critical game against Oklahoma State this week followed by a road trip to West Virginia. Anything less than 2-0, and the Cyclones will need a strong showing in the Big 12 Tournament. Massachusetts Last weekend's win at Xavier gave the Minutemen a 9-6 record away from home, which will look good in the eyes of the committee. While UMass is just 1-5 versus the Top 50, they do have a winning record (8-7) against the Top 100, which is more than most bubble teams can claim. UMass has another crack at a Top 50 team when Butler visits on Thursday. First Four Out Kentucky Saturday's loss at Arkansas pushed the Wildcats out of the field … but not by much. On the plus side, they have no losses to sub-100 teams. On the other hand, UK has just one Top 50 win. The Wildcats need to take care of business at Georgia before a huge home date with Florida to close out the season. Tennessee The Vols were Virginia-esque this week, following up Tuesday's marquee win over Florida with a loss at Georgia, which gave the Bulldogs a season sweep over UT. Tennessee is now 8-9 against the Top 100, but Cuonzo Martin's squad is just 9-7 in a down SEC. With a road trip to Auburn and a home date with Missouri on tap this week, the Volunteers need to win both to close out the regular season. Maryland Wednesday's loss to Georgia Tech seemed to doom the Terps, but with so many bubble teams losing they're still in the conversation. Maryland bounced back to win at Wake Forest, which set up a massive week for its tournament hopes. The Terps host surging North Carolina on Wednesday before hitting the road to take on fellow bubble dweller Virginia. Winning both is a must at this point. Alabama Despite leading Florida for a decent amount of Saturday's game, the Tide wound up losing by eight in the O-Dome. They are now 0-4 against the Top 50, and seven Top 100 victories can't offset four bad losses. Alabama needs to take care of business this week at Ole Miss and home against Georgia before winning a couple games in the SEC Tournament. ******* Here is how the bids broke out by conference: Big East (8): Cincinnati, Georgetown, Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Villanova Big Ten (7): Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Wisconsin Atlantic 10 (6): Butler, La Salle, Massachusetts, Saint Louis, Temple, VCU ACC (5): Duke, Miami (FL), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Virginia Big 12 (5): Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State Mountain West (5): Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV Pac-12 (5): Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, UCLA Missouri Valley (2): Creighton, Wichita State SEC (2): Florida, Missouri West Coast (2): Gonzaga, Saint Mary's America East: Stony Brook Atlantic Sun: Mercer Big Sky: Montana Big South: Charleston Southern Big West: Long Beach State Colonial: Northeastern Conference USA: Memphis Horizon: Valparaiso Ivy: Princeton MAAC: Niagara MAC: Akron MEAC: Norfolk State Northeast: Robert Morris Ohio Valley: Belmont Patriot: Bucknell Southern: Davidson Southland: Stephen F.

Its internal rechargeable battery is rated at 2600 mAh. The average modern smart phone is about 1600 mAh. That means this thing can recharge your phone from 0% to 100% with some extra juice left over!
It's small enough to fit in any pocket, any purse, luggage, your glovebox - literally anywhere!
And It Doesn't Require ANY Batteries!

The Canisius volleyball team won the final two sets and used 18 blocks to defeat Iona College in five sets in the Koessler Athletic Center on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffins won 25-20, 20-25, 17-25, 25-17, 15-13 to improve to 4-2 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Sophomore Rachel Kline had her first career double-double with 10 kills and 13 digs. Senior Emily Elek had 13 kills and posted eight blocks for the third consecutive match. Senior Roxanne Hernandez had seven kills, a .429 attack percentage and a career-high 12 blocks. Junior Emily Litwin had 23 digs and freshman Katlyn Tyler had a career-high 21 digs while sophomore Grace Streicher posted 27 assists.
"It seems like we are either playing great or not very well and there hasn't been an in-between level. Today's match was a perfect example of that," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "We started out well but fell into a lull in the middle of the match. We found some energy in the fourth set and were able to use the big run in the fifth set to complete a great win."
Canisius went on a 6-1 run to break open a 19-19 tie and close out the first set. The Griffs had three of their five blocks in the set during that late run. Hernandez was a part of all three blocks, including a solo block to give Canisius the opening set.
Iona (5-11, 3-3 MAAC) evened the match by winning the second set and taking advantage of an 8-1 run to go up 13-8. Canisius could only get as two points as the Gaels pulled away to take the set. The Gaels went up 2-1 in the match by winning the third set, using four blocks early in the set to go up 7-2. Canisius got as close as three but Iona, who never trailed in the set, won the final five points to take the third set.
Canisius never trailed in the fourth set as the Griffs won the opening three points and never looked back. Canisius broke open the set with a four-point run to go up 15-9 on a block from Hernandez and Tyler, and Iona never seriously threatened as the Griffs forced a fifth set.
In the fifth set, Iona built a 7-3 lead, but Canisius won six straight points, including five on the serve of Streicher, to go up 9-7. Iona didn't go away and held leads of 11-10 and 12-11. Canisius answered with kills from Kline and Elek to go up 13-12. After trading sideouts to give Canisius a set point, the jump serve of Tyler set up an Iona error and gave the match to the Griffs.
Catrina Warren had a double-double for Iona with 19 kills and 14 digs. Natalie Ziskin posted 52 assists while Taylor Cembalisty also had a double-double with 14 kills and 27 digs.
Canisius (6-11, 4-2 MAAC) wraps up its five-match homestand on Sunday, against Manhattan. Match time in the KAC is set for 1 p.m.
Notes: Hernandez is the third Golden Griffin in the last 10 seasons with 12 blocks in a match, matching Samantha Good (Sept. 27, 2009 vs. Manhattan) and Leigh Launhardt (Nov. 5, 2006 vs. Siena). She is averaging 1.73 blocks per set in the last eight matches… Canisius defeated Iona in the KAC for the second consecutive season… Kline set a career high with four service aces, coming into the match with eight service aces in her career… After no ties or lead changes in sets three and four, the fifth set featured seven ties and four lead changes... The 18 blocks for Canisius are the most since posting 21 against Siena on Nov. 5, 2006.

Today is the day President Ahmadinejad may learn he made a huge mistake attacking the wife of his opponent. Zahra Rahnavard, wife of Hossein Mousavi has become a secret weapon in his campaign for the presidency. She is the first Iranian woman to campaign alongside her husband, and Ms. Rahnavard has not hesitated to speak her mind concerning women rights and the need for freedom in her country. At a recent press conference her supporters were overwhelmed when 150 reporters showed up to interview the woman who wears her black chador loosely and her headscarf is printed with a colorful floral pattern. The lack of an independent poll makes difficult ascertaining the outcome of the election, but there is no doubt thousands of women have been energized by her public comments.
She was asked if Iran should see her as their version of Michelle Obama. "I am not Iran's Michelle Obama…. I am a follower of Zahra(the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad). I respect all women who are active." On second thought, she certainly is shorter than Michelle.

What's even sadder is that this same thing happened in a county I used tow ork in, a few years ago - except they have black and white striped prison suits...
Ex-inmate spotted trick-or-treating in prison suit
Nov 2, 7:30 AM (ET)
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. Nov 1 (Reuters Life!) - Jail officials feared an escapee was on the loose on Halloween night when a former inmate was spotted trick-or-treating in his orange prison jumpsuit, authorities said.
A corrections officer spotted the former inmate, Oscar Aponte, 32, going house to house with his son in his hometown of Peekskill, north of New York City.
The officer alerted the Westchester County Jail and the prison was locked down while all inmates were accounted for, said Susan Tolchin, chief adviser to the county executive.
Authorities believed the former inmate smuggled the orange jumpsuit out of the jail when he was released in September after a four-month stay for a probation violation.
"It was a really poor choice of costume," Tolchin said. "We're investigating how he got it out because when they are discharged they leave with their belongings in a clear plastic bag."
Aponte has been charged with petty larceny and criminal possession of stolen property for taking the jumpsuit.

If you want acrylic to stay on fabric, damp the fabric in water, then spray the area that you would like to have weather with with a spray bottle.
The bottle should be mixed with water and acrylic.
By having a damp fabric, it opens the weaves and allows the acrylic do soak in.

Bend gas station offers beer 'fill 'er up'
Stop & Go Shell has 30 beers on tap
BEND, Ore. - At most gas stations, you fuel up, grab a soda or perhaps a six-pack of your favorite beer. Now a Bend station is taking that to the next level.
The Stop & Go Shell station on Highway 20 and 27th Street has something no other gas station in the Northwest. They now have 30 different West Coast beers all on tap so you can fill your 64-ounce (half-gallon) "growler" of beer.
"As soon as we put it in, the reaction on the street was phenomenal," Kizer Couch, one of the owners of the Stop and Go, said Monday. "Everybody thought this was the best idea, for the Eastside of town in particular."
Couch says they got the idea from a trade magazine that featured a small 12-tap display at a store on the East Coast.
"We're right here in the beer capital in Central Oregon," said Couch. "So we have all these breweries who are doing awesome. They are some of the only people who are successful right now in the economy, so we thought, 'Boy, I wonder if we can do that here?'"
The Stop and Go featured a small 14-tap selection at first and then decided to double it to the current 30 taps.
The store will not only fill up the traditional growler, but they sell a smaller version called a "growlette."
"Those are just awesome for all the girls," said Kelly Wilson, a store employee. "We've got ciders, light beers, and we have all the dark stuff too. That's also a good thing to taste the beers."
Couch says they hope to feature at least one beer from every brewery in Bend. He added they've had tremendous support from all the local brewers, who have backed the idea 100 percent.

Bryan Neufeld extended the nation's longest scoring streak in a big way Sunday. The junior attackman netted three goals including the go-ahead tally over a seven minute stretch to push the Saints past Air Force 11-6 in a neutral site affair at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y.
Neufeld finished with six points total including four goals, all four of which came during the second half. In the process, he extended the nation's longest active scoring streak to 37 straight games on the two-year anniversary of when the streak began. Neufeld also added a career-high five groundballs.
Siena (1-1) looked poised to put away the game early as the Saints scored the first four goals and took a 4-1 lead into intermission. But in the third period, Air Force (0-1) responded.
After Neufeld scored his first goal to put Siena up 5-1 at 11:06 of the third, the Falcons fought back with four straight goals in just over six minutes to even the tally at 5-5.
From then on out Neufeld showed why he is one of the most explosive scorers in the country.
Neufeld put the Saints back on top for good 6-5 at the 2:34 mark of the third, igniting a streak of six unanswered goals that gave Siena an 11-5 lead and put the game away. Neufeld accounted for three of those goals and assisted on another.
Dan Lawson and Chris D'Alberti each added a pair of goals for the Saints, while John Rogener, Chris Roth and Danny Martinsen accounted for the others. Rogener added seven groundballs and caused a team-high four turnovers.
Tom Morr made a career-high 15 saves in goal to earn his first collegiate win. The Saints were buoyed as well by strong play in the faceoff X where Chris Brancato won 75% (15-for-20) of his draws and picked up seven groundballs.
Vinny Sandtorv led Air Force with two goals and an assist for the Falcons which dropped its season opener.
The Saints face another stiff test Saturday when they travel to Homewood Field to take on Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md. at 1 p.m. The game will be televised nationally on ESPNU.

The fishing has been sucking. Here's a chance where we can all actually do something about it. Rather than mince words, I'll paste them directly from a mailing by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation:
In a matter of days, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) will meet to discuss the fate of menhaden (AKA the most important fish in the sea). At the end of that meeting, it will adopt an addendum to its menhaden management plan, which will determine new overfishing thresholds and target fishing rates.
Now, more than ever, we need your help. In 32 of the past 54 years, we have overfished menhaden, and its population now stands at its lowest point on record—a mere 8 percent of what it once was!
But, we have an historic opportunity to rebuild the population of this important fish, which represents a critical link in the marine food web of the entire Atlantic coast, especially the Chesapeake Bay. Please write ASMFC today and urge the commission to set new targets that will allow the menhaden population to increase to a point where it can support a fishery and fulfill its vital ecological role. Please submit your letters by 5 p.m. November 2, 2011, in order for them to be considered.
If we don't speak up now, this fish, so critical to the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and the human community that it supports, could be lost forever.

A trio of Griffs earned Preseason Atlantic Hockey honors by SB Nation on Monday. Senior Kyle Gibbons was named the league's Preseason Player of the Year and classmate Tony Capobianco collected Preseason Atlantic Hockey Goaltender of the Year accolades. Both were also named to the Preseason All-Atlantic Hockey First Team, while freshman Shane Conacher was named to the all-rookie squad.
Gibbons led the Griffs with 43 points, 21 goals and 22 assists during the 2012-13 campaign. His 43 points and 21 goals are the third most in the program's history, while also placing second with nine power-play tallies. Overall, Gibbons ranked 12th in Division I in points, eighth in goals and sixth in power-play goals.
Gibbons played his best hockey with the team's season on the line, earning Atlantic Hockey Tournament Most Valuable Player honors. The third-team all-conference selection led all players in the country with 18 points during the month of March, posting six goals and 12 assists. He recorded at least one point in all seven postseason contests, including a career-best four points in the championship win over Mercyhurst.
Capobianco was named the Griffs' MVP during the 2012-13 campaign after playing a key role in the team's first conference championship. He set four school records in saves (1,256), save percentage (.929), goaltender wins (18) and shutouts (four) during the season. Capobianco also led all players in the country with 1,256 saves, which ranks 12th in NCAA history and the most since the 1988-89 campaign. He finished 12th nationally with his .929 save percentage to go along with a 2.40 goals against average.
During the Griffs' run to the Atlantic Hockey Championship, Capobianco set a tournament record with 235 saves. Overall, the All-Tournament Team selection posted a 6-0-0 record during the league's postseason championship with a 1.99 goals against average and .951 save percentage.
Conacher, who also earned runner-up distinction for Rookie of the Year, joins the Griffs after leading the St. Michael's Buzzers to the OJHL Championship in 2013. Named the league's playoff MVP, Conacher totaled 35 points (14g, 21a) during the Buzzers' 23-game postseason run and accumulated 57 points (28g, 29a) in 51 contests during the regular season.
The Griffs are coming off their most successful season in school history. Canisius won the program's first Atlantic Hockey Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history, while also finishing the season ranked 19th in the final USCHO.com national poll, the highest placement in the program's history.
Canisius opens the 2013-14 campaign with an exhibition game against Brock on Oct. 6 before playing at Battle of the Bridge rival Niagara on Oct. 12.

1. Get rid of the fabric holster, and get one made out of leather that properly fits your pistol.
2. Forget the laser. It's not necessary, it won't make you shoot better, and it might help you to shoot worse.
Lasers, pro and con, have been discussed here before, and at great length.
Use the forum's search function, and ask for "laser."

I am relatively new to the whole costuming world and have been working on a stormtrooper and a ROTJ Fett for the last couple of months. I had already bought a Rubies Vader, not the most comfortable to wear, but more for Halloween etc.
I will be submitting both trooper and Fett costumes to the 501st for what looks like, the first Irish member.
So this is the first, Fett has a few months to go. Here are a few pics that I will be using to submit to the 501st along with others. Any feedback or advice good or bad will be appreciated.

The expected overwhelming victory of Putin's United Russia party has lived up to expectations, but amidst this triumph comes evidence the Russian people are committed to the ideals of democracy. United Russia was expected to garner about 60% of the vote which would give them about 306 of the 450 seats in the Duma. However, in an amazing turnaround, the Communist Party was on its way to a second place finish with 11% of the vote and two smaller parties which supposedly would not reach the minimum level of 5% appear to have reached that position which will allow them to obtain seats in the Duma. The Liberal Democratic Party will get at least 7% as will Fair Russia which supports Putin.
There are reports from all over Russia that young people were bussed to voting booths where they received things like lottery scratchcards which offered prizes, free food and drink and some were even encouraged to vote more than once. Independent observers were barred from entering some polling stations. Many students and workers were told to vote and vote often for their hero, Putin, or face the consequences on Monday of losing their position in school or their jobs.
The most amazing aspect of the election was the 11% obtained by the only real opposition to Putin– the Communist Party. Most experts did not believe they would even reach a 5% level. This suggests many Russians wanted the semblance of some sort of opposition group in the Duma to United Russia.
