Virginia Head Coach Tony Bennett:
On win:
"It felt good. I thought in the second half we took better care of the ball. We became a little more rugged offensively. Certainly Joe (Harris) made some plays in the lane which helped, and Jontel (Evans) got to the paint. Our guys did compete. We were a little shaky offensively in that first half. We had too many turnovers."
On Akil Mitchell's ankle:
"I did not think he was going to play. He sprained it pretty bad, and it was swollen. He said 'I want to try it.' He warmed up, and he went on a lot of adrenaline, so I really respect what he did for us with that ankle."
On young players:
"I think they did some good things. Evan (Nolte) has done that down the stretch in the second half for us a few times. His ability to threaten from deep and he's got a good mind for the game. Mike (Tobey) was a little shaky in the first half, with some of those turnovers and shots, but he'll learn with that. I thought Justin (Anderson) was good defensively, and gave us a nice lift, gave us energy. Teven got us off to a good start. That was good. Our old guys - Paul, our sophomore, made some nice plays down the stretch."
On Jontel Evans:
"He's not where he needs to be defensively, but he still could come up with some plays tonight. He could body as an older guy. He bodied Paige a couple times. His ability to put pressure on the paint and get in there stood out. He made one floater and some drives. He got us some great looks, and that makes all the difference in the world."
North Carolina Head Coach Roy Williams:
On game play:
"I have to congratulate Tony. Obviously, I thought his second half was really good. They were better than we were offensively. They were better than we were defensively. They were more alert, more aggressive."
"We had a little bit of a run the first couple of minutes of the second half. We had great movement at that time. We had four different guys at least score. After that, we didn't get very good movement. We didn't set the screens the way we wanted to set them, didn't use them the way we wanted to use them. We missed some good shots. At the same time, our defense was breaking down on the other end."
"Give Virginia credit. They shot 52 percent the second half. We're trying to focus and see if we can do a good job on Joe (Harris). Joe was really good. I thought Jontel (Evans) coming in was big for them, too. Six assists, three turnovers - I think he (Jontel) had two or three of those turnovers in the first half. I thought the second half that Jontel was really big for them. We couldn't stop him from getting to the basket."
"We didn't do the things that we wanted to do. Give Virginia credit. They did the things that they wanted to do, and they dominated both ends of the court in the second half."
North Carolina Sophomore Guard P.J. Hairston:
On team's defense:
"We weren't being aggressive enough. We were setting screens on Virginia, but they were getting right through them. And coach definitely said that. We were running to their screens and looking for a call when we should have been more aggressive."
North Carolina Junior Guard/Forward Reggie Bullock:
On UNC mistakes in second half:
"Sharing the ball, making mental mistakes, not getting to the boards, not finding the shooter in transition-things we work on every day in practice and we didn't do it in crunch time when we needed it most. "
On UNC defense:
"In the first half, we were active on the defensive end, doing some great things. But at the same time, we were making dumb plays on our end, by getting the ball inside in transition and kicking out to an open person and them stealing the ball. In the second half, it was glimpses of great defenses, but it wasn't good when we needed it or when we needed a stop."
Virginia Senior Guard Jontel Evans:
On his play today:
"It was just me going out there, taking my time, going at my own pace. I feel like the other times when I returned I was rushing my shot and I was eager to score a basket. But tonight, I was going at my own pace and the shots were falling."
On beating UNC:
"We made history. That was the last ACC team to be undefeated at JPJ. We were the team that knocked them off."
Virginia Junior Guard Joe Harris:
On Jontel Evans' play:
"He really slowed things down offensively. He came into the huddle and told us how he wanted to get the ball side-top-side and really try to make the defense work. I think from that point on in the second half we really did a good job of that."
On playing UNC:
"It's a different atmosphere, first conference game, playing against a team like Carolina. We have a really young team, so the jitters were there a little bit, but as the game went along guys got into the groove. Evan is a good example of that. Being a freshman, he stepped up and made some big shots."
On his play:
"Watching film, I didn't feel that Carolina's bigs necessarily did a good job of showing off screens and that sort of thing. We worked on that in practice, that if I didn't have a lane to the rim then I could kick back to the post, and that was the focal point offensively."
On 3-point play with 2:44 left:
"It was one of those situations where you need a basket. There was a timeout earlier in the possession and we discussed how we wanted to get something going toward the rim. The offense wasn't really flowing out on the perimeter, we were getting a little stagnant and I just tried to drive the lane."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Leash walking just takes time and consistency. At 4 months old, I wouldn't expect him to resist leaves and stuff. Those are very interesting to puppies. As he gets older, those things will become less interesting. But you can take this as an opportunity for some training.
Use the leaves as a reward for focusing on you. A leaf blows by, say his name or a "watch" cue or even just "pup-pup-pup!" in a happy voice, and when he looks at you allow him to chase the leaf (I use a verbal cue "get it"). You will need to work on a "watch" cue in non-distracting environments first. Eventually you can make the game random and sometimes allow him to chase the leaves, and sometimes not. It seems silly, but by allowing him to chase the items on cue, you become part of the game and he will become used to looking at you for permission when he wants something.
Also work on "leave it". Again, start in a non-distracting environment first and gradually work up to distractions.
LOL sounds like Otto when he was a pup. Zig zagging helps - don't walk in a straight line and cross the street often. When he pulls you (forging), turn around and walk in the other direction. You might have to do this many times.
The one thing that was key to getting Otto to walk nicely (other than my female biting him in the face for trying to walk in front of her ladyship) was music. Just on my phone, not with earbuds, not blasting, just loud enough you can hear it. Reminded Otto that he wasn't out there walking his own thing, I was behind him. Dog knows he barely felt the leash straining.
Help on Walking
I have started obedience class with my 4 month old. I don't have high expectations when it comes to training right now because of his age. However, I was curious about hearing how people solved their walking problems. When I take Hugo on walks, I do the usual stop if he pulls wait until he comes back, treat, then walk. He's getting better, but still is bad, especially when leaves are blowing by. Which brings me to my next problem. He chases everything. Do any of you have advice to help me have Hugo focus on me during walks or to comfortably walk by my side without chasing leaves or other things? Also, he tries to eat everything on the ground like wood chips, sticks, garbage, and rocks. Any theories for that? Thanks.

I don't believe that you can damage any modern pistol by dry-firing it...excepting Kel-Tec guns.
The screw that retains the extractor of some Kel-Tec pistols also retains the firing pin. When you dry-fire over an empty chamber, the firing pin peens the end of the screw, making it hard to remove.
The solution is to buy a set of snap-caps in the appropriate caliber, and to dry fire with one of them in your pistol's chamber. The snap cap stops the firing pin before it can contact the screw.
For safety's sake, keep all live ammunition in another room while you're using snap caps. It's much too easy to make a mistake.

The Road to Conception: Your Guide to Vitamins
6 comments:
- Rochkirstin Santos said...
These tips are helpful but the best thing a pregnant woman or someone who wants to be pregnant can follow is still the doctor's advice.

Yes, supplements before conception's excellent way for men and women. For men, the usual supplement I recommend is Pharmaton, 1 capsule daily.
- February 5, 2014 at 3:22 PM

Yes, supplements are really important but it's just important to have them checked by the doctors first before taking them.

I haven't remembered on how my wife had prepared herself while in her stage of conception. it is really better the would-be mother woman should be sufficiently supplied with essential vitamins in her body to protect her baby inside her womb.

I drink Vitamin C, Folic Acid and Vitamin E as per OB because I had 3 miscarriages already. Even though I was not advised by OB I still drink Vitamin C and E for supplement everyday.

Canadian Brass - Flight of the Bumblebee
This 2012 video, Flight of the Bumblebee, is the title tune on CANADIAN BRASS premiere Steinway & Sons label release, and the first recording with all of the new permanent members of the ensemble: Chuck Daellenbach (tuba), Chris Coletti and Brandon Ridenour (trumpets), Achilles Liarmakopoulos (trombone) and Eric Reed (horn). After 40 years, the BRASS have maintained a remarkable consistency in their style and virtuosity, even as the individual members have gradually changed.
This is also the first recording the BRASS have made with their new custom-made gold-plated Bach & Conn instruments built by Conn-Selmer. The repertoire features favorite encores, new arrangements, and world premieres. As with their other recent releases, this disc is an audiophile sonic blockbuster, produced by Dixon Van Winkle and MB Daellenbach.
Brandon was inspired to write this arrangement of Flight of the Bumblebee for his colleagues by the trumpet and piano arrangement he and his father Rich Ridenour created for their own duo.

Well that's... ... horrifying. Though as I understand it, it's already topped the charts in Arkham.
I dig it

It will haunt me for the rest of the night...... not knowing what it says when played in reverse that is.
Grats on the print!
That looks like something I found in my bathtub one time!
Cool design, too!
Yet another great write-up. *applause*
somehow it reminds me of the Predator.
This is exactly what keeps me from digging out that box of old tapes I collected in my teens. Congratulations on the print Drakxxx and Crescentdebris.
In for three of these, I know too many people who would love this.
It's the source of The Bloop!
Oh goddamnit now I have to pull up "Never Tear Us Apart" and give it a listen. Curse you, earworm!
Okay, okay - I promise I'll never fast-forward again!
the line this image puts in my head is "deliver colonel sanders down to davy jones' locker." i still
love both my very-worn '87 cassette and my LP versions of the beastie boys' "licensed to ill" album! (admittedly, i do listen to it on CD and MP3 more often these days. >=b)
I see Davy Jones from "Pirates of the Caribbean" done in acetate. It's the ghost of technology past. And I do believe in ghosts...
Splicing that tape back together is going to cause headaches and I suspect the tape deck probably needs a head clean.
Very cool design! Glad to see this one got in.

I think the fact that this printed makes up for this derby's first-place winner. I love the style of this shirt, and lovecraftian abominations are always fun. Congrats, Drakxx and CrescentDebris!

Congratulations, Drak and Crescent! I'm really happy that this printed.

"... 3rd? Well holy ****! They've got free rent and non stop parties there."
"Ah man, you know what it is dude? I think they messed up. See it's a derby called "Records, Tapes and CDs". Well, a lot of people call me CD. Woot must have thought "and CDs" meant we got 3rd."

"True true. We will have eatin all the food, drank all the booze, and ... said hi to all the women."

While I don't necessarily want the shirt, I do like the design, and I'm WICKEDLY excited to see a Draxxx and CD win. Hopefully that means more bad motha ducky in the future.
This is one of Nixon's oval office tapes, right?
What's that? Everyone who would ever appreciate that joke is dead or senile? Better luck next time.

I don't mind backwards messages.
One of these days I really want the second-placer to outsell the first-placer, just for irony's sake.
This tape thing looks like a mix of the plant that ate dirty socks and that weird dinosaur with the flaring neck that used to scare me in Jurassic Park or some other dinosaur movie(?). Coolio.
Congrats guys, on a well deserved print.

I believe the most successful selling Tshirt in woot history was the 2nd place of its derby. The poe raven one.
Oh no! It's Cthulhu's mix tape of doom!
No two people are doing more to keep Cthulhu alive than Drakxxx and CrescentDebris. Maybe someone should check their basement for creepy altars and portrals to other worlds.
Congrats you guys! :^)

As much as I love browsing through design magazines looking at beautifully designed spaces, what delights me most is seeing the "real life" rooms that are created by talented folks, whether they are designers or not. Getting to peek inside someone's house gives me a secret thrill as I love to see how people live. I've gotten hooked on reading blogs and have been amazed at the rooms that I've seen featured along the way.
I selected just a few (tried to narrow it to about 20- but think I ended up with around 30!) of my favorite blogger's rooms that I've seen in the past year. It was hard to choose just one favorite room in many of these bloggers' homes, as I often find myself coveting the entire house! And although their styles may vary, the creative aspect is alive in each and I'm inspired by all of the beautiful details and unique touches. I'm also impressed that many of those special details were revamps, hand made, or upcycled.
We're going room by room, so let's go!
Jen is so super stylish and her decor is creative and chic. Although this foyer is totally sophisticated in black and white, Jen said she plans to add pops of color via fresh flowers. P.S. Can you believe she MADE that light fixture?! Such a unique foyer with only a few pieces.
Living Room
One of my earliest blog inspirations, Kate's classic take on simple, beautiful French decor with a bit of modern mixed in always delights. I am loving how she used blue-gray, gold and white in the room. And in true Centsational Girl style, Kate added the wainscoting, repainted the mirror, redid the chair and chandelier, and sewed the sofa cover! Whew! Her gallery wall is superb too.
I've said before that Londen's family room makes me want to come and stay as a houseguest at her place. Her cozy room is relaxing and exciting at the same time with the patterned rug and warm wooden furniture. Love it!
I dig how Michelle used that yellow print rug to add visual interest to the room and the stripes in their office peeking through is so cool! The pop of green on the mantle is fresh too. And what a gorgeous family! :)
Oh, I die over that paneling behind the bed! This is one talented couple- their whole house is amazing! The drapes they chose are fabulous and the E-bay light fixture is fantastic!
A gorgeous, serene space with that beautiful nailhead trim bed. I love the wall color Emily chose and how she created those wall paper panels behind the nightstands. This is one bedroom I would love to wake up in! Her little dressing table with the bamboo mirror and collection of Penguin classics is perfect.
I cannot believe everything Janell did in this amazing room! I mean, the dramatic headboard alone made quite the statement, but the chandelier, lampshades, drapes, sitting area, gallery wall, duvet, pillows- it's all superb! And Janell always provides the best tutorials to accompany her projects- I've got more than a few bookmarked!
As soon as I saw this room with the beautiful wall color, fab mirror and complimentary bed linens and bench, I was in love. The second shot of the rest of the room put me over the edge. Abbe sure knows how to use art, color and pattern to infuse interest to a room!
What a dreamy space! The dramatic canopy bed is so nice with the bench Kristin redid and I love how she styled her nightstands. I would definitely have sweet dreams in this bedroom!
Mom Cave
My girl Courtney's sitting area off the master bedroom is divine! Her drapes and nesting tables are awesome. The silver touches, including the ribbon-lined lamp and chandelier add the perfect bit of glamour.
A Brooklyn Limestone in Progress
Stephanie's stylish, white tiled bath with silver accessories is my dream bathroom. The scones are gorgeous and the whole room is sleek and clean, but not too minimal. I love the pop of pink with the orchid too. This room becomes even more impressive when you've seen the "before"!
Kid's Rooms
Isn't this the sweetest nursery?! And it's not overdone at all. It's just whimsical and natural. Every little element is so thoughtful, from the drapes, art, giraffe and daybed. Baby Oscar is sleeping in style!
Cassie never disappoints with her hip and playful design sense. How freakin' cool are those orange, brown and white stripes on the wall?! They totally make the room and I looove how she did them in varying heights. But her use of the space in the room (see the desk beside the bed and shelves on the wall?) is also fantastic, not to mention the gallery wall.
Lakeitha isn't even done with her 'cars' inspired boys room, but I already love it. The road on the wall with actual cars is awesome! I'm sure her sons already love this room!
Can you believe she created this entire room for $370, including the amazing, colorful headboard? I love how she used pink, aqua, and yellow in the room. So cheery, but not too sugary with the black and white lamps and plate wall.
The room that Lauren created for her daughter is divine! It's a perfect room for a high school-aged girl. The dressers were repainted in a black semi-gloss that stands out against the pretty greyish-blue walls. I love how she also created a work space and used the Ikea Expedit as a room divider. And that chalkboard wall?! Love it!
I could hardly believe that this awesome paneled reading/sleeping nook was once a little closet! That girl has vision and is so talented how she pulled this off! It's such a surprising, delightful space!
Home Office
I've come back to look at Emily's office 100 times to survey every little detail as it has really inspired my own office. Emily is one of those talented people who can use color and pattern and still have the space look serene and inviting as opposed to confused or cluttered. Check out the smokey blue walls and the vivid green dresser paired with those gorgeous drapes. The sleek white lines of the desk and Ikea Expedit bookshelf are a really clean look. (don't be surprised when you those something similar in my office! :) I just love how she made this space so functional and pretty!
Here's another wonderful example of a pretty and functional space. See, they do exist! Look how Chris added that organizational pegboard above the desk for utility but also framed it for beauty. Her craft room also has a reading nook and beautifully painted dresser- love the light blue color she chose.
How cool is Kirsten's office? The drapes are a fun addition to the cool white desk with that pop of green. Never seen a desk like that with color before. I also love her chandy and how she arranged the bookshelf.
A jaw-dropping kitchen for sure- and it's a renovated kitchen! I love how Emily painted the cabinets white and the light fixtures she chose. The drapery panel she made is super cool too. You gotta check out the "before" on this one- you won't believe it!
A well organized space with a fabric lined wall and labeled containers steals my heart! How nice to walk into this pantry and be able to see what you have and easily access all your ingredients! An organizer's dream!
I'm super impressed with what Emily did to her pantry to make it more beautiful and functional. She added carousel turntables (custom made by her talented Dad) that allow for perfect storage of all those canned goods and packages. Genius!
Laundry Room
Oh my! A laundry room dream! Jen did so much to this room I don't even know where to begin. The pale green cabinets and chandelier add a lot of charm as well as the paneled wall. I'm sure she loves doing laundry now!
Dining Room
Such a cool room. I love the white paired with touches of light colors like gray and soft aqua. Her unique accessories really make this space feel personal.
This dining room looks fresh out of a country chic magazine! Simple, inviting, and relaxing- just how causal dining should be! And isn't that fan just great?!
Isn't it cool how Carissa's dining room showcases her style with that ultra chic shiney, patterned wallpaper? Totally groovy!
A gorgeous dining room! Erin's silk drapes and striped plate wall are just fantastic. I really like how she paired the dark furniture with the light slipcovered chairs. And that light blue ceiling?! Or wait, the shutters and mouldings!! Oh, my!
Talk about a backyard view! I would seriously love to grab a magazine or book and cozy up on that couch with a cup of tea. I like the way she infused color into the porch with the rug, pillows, and flowering plants.
Rhoda's southern charm shines through in her porch for sure! I dig the yellow painted shutters, floral pillows, and greek key rug. Looks like a sweet spot for a little cocktail and conversation!
There are too many wonderful rooms to include in one blog post! Thank you, thank you bloggers! You inspire me daily! Most of these rooms I've had bookmarked for ages, so it's nice to now have them all in one spot now:)
Speaking of inspiration, and favorite blogs, I'm guest posting on Hi Sugarplum! today with one of my most popular blog posts of 2010. Any idea what it was?? :)

Hey Guys
I just found the site. I am thinking about moving to Nebraska after my enlistment with the air force is done. I would like to stay near offutt afb so that i can be reasonably close for my healthcare benefits.
I grew up in duck hunting in northeast ohio. not the best duck hunting but i got the job done. The last 4 years I have been in alaska and then this past april i moved to minot north dakota. There are alot of birds here but my soon to be wifes family is all from nebraska and she wants to be closer to her family and i was just wondering how the hunting was around the offutt afb area?.

It's either, them or you
It's sort of like, survival you know. Survival of the fittest you know
You do what you do to stay alive
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
Niggas don't want war I'm a martian with an army of spartans
Sparring with a knife in a missile fight
Get your intel right, your intelligence is irrelevant
But it's definite I spit more than speech impediments
Brooklyn's the residence, the best and it's evident
We got them niggas P-E-Nuts, like they elephants
Throw 'em in a trunk if they hate though
We don't give a fuck as long as we collect our pay, so
Ya'll collect pesos, ya money ain't right here
I got them girls next to the wood like they light year, I'm right chea
Tryna get a buzz, tryna pollinate
STEEZ got that presidential shit out to inaugurate
My P.E conglomerates bout to P-E-E on any wanna B-E, weak MC
Air 'em out or leave 'em empty congratulate the semi-auto
Fire flame spitter like komodo
No time for fake people, they be simmin' like Kimora
I'm the empor-ah in search of the adora, my heart go
Ba boom Ba boom Ba boom boom
It's panic like Dora when shots blast
See I was raised that way, I'm from the place where they raise that K
Like every day in every way and every where you go, just ain't safe
The only thing that I can say, to you is pray
Cause when niggas start equippin', and throw the clip in
Your blood drippin', and got you slippin'
Another victim, don't know whats hit them – through his spinal
Just another man who defeated by survival
That's your biggest rival, in your whole life
These bars you can't handle you better hold tight
They sayin' I'm the best, I'm like you're so right
Still ain't got enough shine to last the whole night, nigga
Yo, fuck the police nigga
Fuck every ass corrupt politician on Wall Street
P.E, Public Enemy, Assassinate us, bitch
Fuck that, fuck everything son
Fuck government, Fuck, listenin' and shit
You want fuckin' energy? Dickheads
[Verse 2: Capital STEEZ]
It's like 6 milli ways to die my nigga choose one
Doomsday comin' start investin' in a few guns
New gats, booby traps, and bazooka straps
Better play your cards right, no booster packs
Everybody claim they used to rap
But these ain't even punchlines no more, I'm abusing tracks
Leaving instrumentals blue and black
I'm in Marty McFly mode, so tell em' that the future's back
Riding on hoverboards, wiping out motherboards
Stopped spitting fire cause my motherfuckin lung is scorched
King Arthur when he swung his sword
A king author I ain't even use a pen in like a month or four
I had a hard time writing lyrics
Now I'm way over heads, science fiction
You can try and get it, my man the flyest with it
With a mind of fine of interest for your finest interests
They say hard work pays off
Well tell the Based God don't quit his day job
Cause P.E's about to take off
With protons and electrons homie that's an A-bomb
Fuckin' ridiculous
Finger to the president screamin' "fuck censorship!"
If Obama got that president election
Then them P.E. boys bout to make an intervention
Fuck what I once said, I want the blood shed
Cause now-a-days for respect you gotta pump lead
I guess Columbine was listenin' to Chaka Khan
And Pokémon wasn't gettin' recognized at Comic-Con
It's like we've been content with losin'
And half our students fallen victim to the institution
Jobs are scarce since the Scientific Revolution
And little kids are shootin' Uzi's cause its given to 'em
Little weapon, code name: Smith and Wesson
And you'll be quick to catch a bullet like an interception
If your man's tryna disrespect it
Send a message and it's over in a millisecond - nigga
Joey BADA$$ uses the instrumental for "Survival Tactics" by Styles of Beyond Prod. Vin Skully.
Joey borrows a lot of different flows from older artists (to compliment the old boom bap style he themed his work around) across the whole mixtape. Definitely spittin' on that Biggie flow when he's like "When niggas start equippin, throw the clip in, etc etc."

Fairfield junior Maurice Barrow scored a career-high 21 points and senior guard Derek Needham added 10 points, seven rebounds and three assists as the visiting Stags defeated Canisius College 66-45 Thursday night in the Koessler Athletic Center. Fairfield, which has now won six straight, moved to 10-5 overall and 2-1 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference play with the win, while the Golden Griffins saw their six-game home win streak came to an end, as the team slipped to 9-5 overall and 2-1 in league action.
Canisius junior Billy Baron scored a team-high 14 points in the loss for Canisius, which dropped back-to-back games for the first time this season after falling to Detroit Dec. 30 on the road. Fellow junior Chris Manhertz was credited with his fifth career double-double as he scored 11 points to go with a game-high 13 rebounds. The Griffs struggled offensively all night, as the team shot 30.4 percent from the field, 20 percent from 3-point range and 51.9 percent from the free-throw line in the loss, while Fairfield turned 21 Canisius turnovers into 24 points en route to the victory.
"Fairfield is a good team. They won 22 games last year, they have upperclassmen who have been through it and they pressured us early and forced us into turnovers," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "To their credit, they made shots early and that gave them some confidence and we dug a hole that was just too deep. I told our guys we are going to need to match their intensity and we fell short of that. We need to do a better job of executing all around."
Fairfield wasted little time taking control of the game, as the Stags jumped out to an early 11-0 lead just 4:01 into the contest and never looked back. Needham got the scoring started on Fairfield's first possession of the game with a long 3-pointer from the top of the key 17 seconds into the contest. With the Stags up 5-0, junior Keith Matthews scored five-straight points, capped by an offensive rebound and a put-back at the 15:50 mark of the first half to give Fairfield its 11-point cushion. The Griffs went 5:10 without a point to start the game before Baron hit a 3-pointer, and Manhertz followed moments later with an offensive rebound and a put-back of his own to trim Fairfield's hold to 11-5. After the Stags went empty on their next trip down the floor, Manhertz slammed home a pass from Baron to make the score 11-7 in favor of Fairfield, but after a 30-second timeout by the Stags, Fairfield scored the games' next nine points to take a 20-7 lead with 7:49 left before halftime. Fairfield led 34-17 at the break after it shot 50 percent from the field and 71.4 percent from the free-throw line in the game's first 20 minutes, while Canisius shot 22.7 percent from the floor, went 1-for-7 from behind the arc and shot 50 percent from the charity stripe in the opening stanza.
The second half saw more of the same for both teams, as Fairfield pushed its lead to as many as 26 points at 51-25 with 9:47 left to play thanks to a pair of made free-throws by Barrow. Canisius and Fairfield both ended the night with 34 rebounds for the game, while the Stags outscored the Blue and Gold 26-18 in the paint, 15-7 in second-chance points and 10-0 on fast break points.
Matthews ended the night with nine points for Fairfield, while senior guard Colin Nickerson added five points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals to the winning effort. Canisius sophomore Josiah Heath scored six points off the bench for the Griffs and senior Harold Washington chipped in five.
Canisius will close out the weekend at home Saturday, Jan. 5, when the team plays host to Marist in the Koessler Athletic Center. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
Game Notes: This marked the 75th all-time meeting between these two schools, with Fairfield holding a 44-31 lead in the series... The Stags have now won five straight and nine of the last 11 games between the two teams in Buffalo... The 45 points are the fewest for Canisius since the team lost to Loyola (Chicago) at home by a score of 59-45 on Dec. 22, 2011... Canisius came into the game averaging 9.7 3-pointers per game, which ranked second nationally, but matched a season-low with three makes from behind the arc... Baron now has double figures in the scoring column in five-straight games and in 12 of the team's 14 outings this season... Manhertz's 13 rebounds on Thursday improves his career rebounding average against Fairfield to 9.0 boards per game in six career meetings against the Stags.

Lost Mass. hikers led out of White Mountain National Forest
September 29. 2013 7:26PM
Conservation officers received a call at about 8 p.m. Sunday that the three women were lost near the Bolles Trail, about 2½ miles from the trail head in Albany.
But that trail has been damaged by heavy storms that washed out bridges and made sections difficult to follow.
Cell phone GPS signals were used to track the women and Conservation Officers made their way through the washed-out sections of trail to find them.
They were led uninjured out of the woods at about 12:30 am. Sunday after a 70-minute trip back down the mountain.

"The rep who was reviewing my order, noticed that you couldn't see the caption on the card because of the picture that I selected and suggested a way to fix it. Not only did she call me, she changed it and made it better. Great job & customer service on this one!"
"I wanted to send a photo card and not a 2-fold card. I really loved the layout of this photo card! The image I chose to use went great with it. Although I wish I could of added another text box, maybe in the bottom corner. Or on the back which was just an original design. To allow for a message and the date Elsewhere. I couldn't get another image to work good enough on the back to do this. Overall I am happy with my daughters Valentine card I made and my family members loved It as well!"
"I used a close up photos of my 2 boys and added "with sweet wishes" instead of the family name & had it come from both of them. Grandparents loved it & it's not frilly so worked for well for boys. Colors are great. I'm saving some for the archives. :-)"
"This card combines pink and navy in a whimsical, sweet way and coordinated perfectly with a photo of my twin girls. It will make the perfect Valentine for their first Valentine's day!"
"I got this in a pearl finish and love it! Great quality paper. Though with a pearl finish, it's a bit hard to right on the back of the card. Only sharpie would work. But overall, I love it!"

Talk To Your Pro
They all shoot reasonably well. My personal preference is the cabled drop aways although Muzzy makes a darn nice Zero Effect rest. A couple of years ago I had a Trap Door which worked fine but when I switched to a Trophy Ridge Trophy Taker rest my 300 target scores increased by 15 points immediately.
Your best bet

I currently use 2 . The trophy taker on my target bow and a quick tune 2000 on my hunting bow. I found the quick tune easier to set up and adjust but the Trophy taker has a better arrow holder for the riser. Both are solid platform once setup. The Trophy taker was more expensive(70 ) compared to the quick tune (48). Hope this info helps. I prefer the quick tune but thats just my 2 cents.

It all depends....
I guess it all depends upon how much you want to spend. Here's some general advice I give:
If you really want to excel at this sport then spend the bulk of your time on the target range. Shoot spots. Learn good form. Develop good habits. As you develop those then you'll find the transition to 3D and hunting much easier. It's much better to learn what target panic is while trying to hit a 1-1/2" circle at 20 yards than a 12 point buck at 20 yards. As for the arrow rest, you can go broke trying to buy the best in this sport and believe me, there are a lot of good companies out there willing to take your money. That brings me back to spots. If you find that you can shoot a 300 round and shoot a 275 then you'll find that a drop away rest may help you. That's not a guarantee either as some of the best target archers in the world will tell you (lots of these guys shoot fixed spring rests).
What I'm trying to say is that if you're shooting less than 275 then you'll have better success working on your form; your equipment probably has less to do with your prowess on the range. If you're shooting higher than 275, then you're entering the zone where better equipment may help.
If you're not familiar with target archery or the term "300 round" please feel free to contact me back and I'll explain.

there are a few good ones
I have a NAP Quicktune 2000 on my hunting bow and a Copper John AlleyCat on my target bow; they both work well. The alleycat is good for target, but I wouldn't use it for hunting. There are better ones out there for hunting than either.
Most folks that have tried them like the Trophy Taker rests, probably the top rated. I've met several that like Muzzy's Zero Effect, and I have shot one and it is smooth. I'll probably trade my NAP for the new Cobra drop-away. It is obviously a Trophy Taker replica with a bit of a twist on the arrow holder; it's located on the arm of the rest itself; a very simple design, about $50, and I like cheap and simple.
I use NAP QT 4000's on both of my Hoyt's, here's my set up:

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Basement Jaxx
Before they met (at a Thames riverboat party organized by Buxton), Ratcliffe grooved to the deep Latin funk of War and George Duke, while Buxton was turned on to Chicago house. Ratcliffe and Buxton formed Atlantic Jaxx Records in 1994 and were undoubtedly honored to count among fans of their first release none other than DJ legend and Basement Jaxx influence Tony Humphries, who played "Da Underground" from the EP on his New York mix show consistently during 1994-1995. For their second release, the duo recruited vocalist Corrina Josephs, who later became practically a member of the team herself.
The 1995 single "Samba Magic" was picked up for distribution by Virgin, and in time, Basement Jaxx were drawing praise from all corners of the American and British house community as one of the top house production units. The pair spent much of 1996 working on remixes (for the Pet Shop Boys, Roger Sanchez, and Lil' Mo' Yin Yang, among others), then released a third Basement Jaxx EP. One track from the EP, "Flylife," became a Top 20 hit in England after being re-released by Multiply in mid-1997, and the single proved one of the most popular anthems of the year on the worldwide club scene. Late that year, Ratcliffe and Buxton released a compilation of their most crucial Atlantic Jaxx sides.
After being courted by several major labels, Basement Jaxx signed to the independent XL Recordings (also home to the Prodigy) and readied their debut full-length, Remedy, for a 1999 release. Second album Rooty followed two years later, an outgrowth of the duo's similarly named club night.
Kish Kash followed in 2003 and featured the hit "Good Luck," a collaboration with Lisa Kekaula that became the theme to BBC's Euro 2004 coverage. That year, the album won the first-ever Best Electronic/Dance Album award at the 47th Grammy Awards. The year 2005 saw the release of the aptly named The Singles collection, as well as a gig headlining the Pyramid Stage at that year's Glastonbury Festival when Kylie Minogue's cancer diagnosis forced her to cancel. The following year's sprawling Crazy Itch Radio featured collaborations with Robyn and Lily Allen. In 2008, Basement Jaxx contributed to the track "Rocking Chair" on Cyndi Lauper's Bring Ya to the Brink, writing and producing the song; they also released the Planet EP series that year.
On 2009's Scars, which featured cameos by Yoko Ono, Yo! Majesty, Lightspeed Champion, and Santigold, the duo returned to the leaner approach of the Remedy days, saving their more experimental material for the companion album Zephyr, which arrived late that year. Basement Jaxx vs. Metropole Orkest, which featured versions of the duo's previously released songs arranged for a 70-piece orchestra, arrived in 2011, along with the score to Joe Cornish's film Attack the Block, on which they collaborated with Stephen Price.
That year, Buxton and Ratcliffe announced they were working on a new album, and over the next couple of years began previewing tracks from it during their live sets. They premiered the single "Back 2 the Wild" on their YouTube channel in April 2013, with "What a Difference Your Love Makes" and "Unicorn" following soon after. The uplifting Junto -- which means "together" in Spanish -- featured appearances by Mykki Blanco, DJ Sneak, and Shakka, and arrived in August 2014. ~ John Bush

Generally, the board of education will set a no-transportation area, meaning if you live within a certain distance of the school site, transportation, such as a school bus, will not be provided for you. Because these distances are determined locally, we do not know what that distance is for your school.
However, there are people that you should contact with your question. Your school district's superintendent's office will have the information you are looking for.

text: Meaning which player plays good enough to tease you into thinking that he's going to become a great player with flashes of great play and then never does. Sirius radio had about 16 different guys they discussed today. Partial list ( add to them if you think of some): Eddie Curry, Larry Hughes, Stephen Marbury, Al Harrington, Ben Gordon, Luel Deng, Kirk Hienrich, Paul Gasol, Lamar Odom. Now they discussed it with the idea that they played for a few years to have a resume of work to look at. No Pistons were mentioned nor Ben Wallace because you get exactly what you expect every game. These guys are considered inconsistent too much.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by OLD SKOOL HQ, Mar 4, 2007.
The team is currently batting .293 with Ordonez #1 in MLB at .367 and Polanco #3 at .348.
Justin Verlander just got a no hitter!!!!!!!!
You beat me to posting it! Go Justin!!!!!!!!! Sweeet
12 strikeouts! The first no hitter since 1984? Wow! By the 7th inning I was nervous.
Boxscore for this gem! FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Game Trax
MLB - Milwaukee Brewers/Detroit Tigers Recap Tuesday June 12, 2007 - Yahoo! Sports
Damn, this was in the game notes. Anyone know the story behind it? I remember pictures of Cecil with his cute little kid back in the day. Wonder what happened? "Fielder played in Detroit for the first time Tuesday, but not in the stadium where he spent much of his childhood. Fielder was a frequent visitor to the home clubhouse at Tiger Stadium when his father Cecil was with the team between 1990-96. Prince Fielder, who is estranged from his father, did not speak to the media before the game".
Way to go Justin. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come from him.
Hopefully. Remember the last Tiger to hurl a no hitter (Jack Morris in 1984) led his team to the World Series title that same year.
I wonder that too. Cecil seemed like a very nice likable guy.
#8 - Sheffield #22 - Polanco #54 - Granderson #63 - Guillen #85 - Verlander = my bad maybe JV is #85
Here's an answer. I just can't believe what's happened to the guy: USATODAY.com - Poor tale of Cecil Fielder
Hopefully, it is a sign of things to come for ME. I have Justin on my fantasy team.
Great find Mikhail. Thanks...for breaking my heart. Damn...I'm in total shock. I feel really bad for him and his family. That took my breath away. Well, at least Prince can take care of his mom. Prince is smart to keep it quiet.
Can't say I enjoyed reading it myself. I have a friend who has the same problem. Not to the extent, but non-the-less. He owes me money as well. So I know how out of control their behavior could be. Hopefully Jr can take care of the family.
Good game for Rodriguez today 3-5, HR, 5RBI, 3 runs. Pitching struggled again. We need to get that straightened out. Yanks are heating up, A's are on par with Tigers record-wise. If the bullpen continues to struggle the way to the playoffs may be just a bit to steep to climb this year.
Kenny Rogers will make his first start of the season on Friday when the Detroit Tigers begin a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves. Link:SI.com - MLB - Rogers to return for Tigers on Friday vs. Braves - Monday June 18, 2007 8:15PM AND The Tigers optioned rookie right-handed pitcher Yorman Bazardo to Triple-A Toledo today and called up right-hander Eulogio De La Cruz from Toledo. De La Cruz hasn't pitched in the big leagues. link: Tigers call up De La Cruz for bullpen spot
Tigers are trying anything to get that bullpen to perform. Can't wait for Zoom to come back, although I guess he can't be back before August. Jones pitched like crap again yesterday giving up 3 runs in one inning. Offense has been carrying the team so far, but their record is nothing to boast about at 40-29 one game behind Indians.
Maybe they should throw Rogers in the bullpen to be the setup man since it appears some of those losses are occurring in the 7th and 8th innings. The real issue is that we have not got to the half way point and those "damn yankees' have already shaved five games off the wild card lead with that 9 game win streak. Right now the A's are 2 back, the slumping Mariners 2.5 back and the surging yanks are 4 games back. The Tigers have to play better and eventually grab first place and try to extend that lead in the fall. No use messing with the yankees in August and September trying beat them out of the wildcard spot
Tigers started bringing guys all the way from AA to try to get the bullpen to perform. Rodney has plain sucked so far this year. Grilli and Ledezma are inconsistent. The only guy that was a constant is Byrdak and who knows how long is that going to last. Also, as Leyland mentioned earlier, the starters are not giving the same innings and performances that they were last year and it puts greater strain and risk on the bullpen. The offense just keeps humming along. Casey with his 1st homer has been hot (but who is not hot on Tigers with more than 1/2 of the batters hitting over .350 for the month of June and Tigers leading the league in batting average?). If offense can sustain this and pitchers get a bit better we should be able to take the division from Indians.
Separate names with a comma.

Inhofe then attempts to criticize the "Hockey Stick" reconstruction by citing a modeling study by the German GKSS group that actually supports the "Hockey Stick" conclusion that late 20th century warmth is anomalous in the context of the past 1000 years (see GKSS curve in Figure ) as well as the conclusion that this warmth can only be attributed to anthropogenic influences.
Furthermore, he attempts to criticize the methodology underlying the Mann et al (1998) reconstruction (one of more than a dozen estimates coming to essentially the same "Hockey Stick" conclusion), based on a reference to a comment by "three geophysicists from the University of Utah" [Chapman et al (2004)–see the response here] related to a modeling study by Mann and Schmidt (2003). That study has nothing to do with the Mann et al (1998) temperature reconstructions or methodology whatsoever (and did not even reference them) , but instead analyzed the factors governing the difference between ground surface temperature and land air temperature change in a climate model simulation of the latter 20th century.
(2) Global Sea level Rise
Estimates from tide gauges indicate that sea level has changed at the rate of 1.8 to 2.4 mm/yr over the last century. Satellite altimeter estimates currently show a global sea level change of 2.8+/- 0.4 mm/yr over the last 12 years. Due to the different methodologies involved, a direct comparison of the two values is not straightforward, but the satellite results provide absolutely no support for Inhofe's contention that "there is a total absence of any recent acceleration in sea level rise".
(3) Recent Arctic warming
Inhofe contends that "current Arctic temperature is no higher than temperatures in 1930s and 1940s" and cites many studies that appear to agree with him. However, the context for those studies is important and was well covered in the Arctic Climate Impact Assesment. In particular, natural variability in the climate system is particularly large in the high latitudes, such as the Arctic. This implies that temperatures from any one or two years may not be very representative of a long term trend. Arctic temperatures did indeed have a peak around 1940, but the decadal mean temperatures are now (1995-2004) warmer than the mean over 1935-1944. The variations in temperature in the Arctic resemble the global mean changes over the last century but are larger, clearly demonstrating the effect of polar amplification. More important are the causes of these temperature changes, and this cannot be determined simply by looking at one time series (this is further discussed here). The current consensus view is that warming in the 1940s was likely a combination of increasing GHG and solar forcing combined with a significant amount of internal variability, particularly associated with the North Atlantic. The subsequent cooling was related to the post-war increase in (mainly) sulphate aerosols. Subsequent to the 1970's greenhouse gas forcing has become dominant, leading to the recent warming.
As is made very clear in the ACIA report, the Arctic is a complex and dynamic environment. It is well known that changes to atmospheric circulation associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) can have important consequences for temperatures in the region. Over the last 35 years, the NAO has strengthened (implying more westerly winds), and this has lead to enhanced warming over Eurasia, and consequent cooling over southern Greenland, particularly in winter. Thus the Arctic is warming despite this dynamical trend, which itself may be related to anthropogenic forcing (Gillett et al, 2002).

Emmanuel Frimpong has joined Charlton Athletic on loan until January 1, 2013.
The 20-year-old midfielder, who returned from a seven month injury lay-off in September, has made two first-team appearances for Arsenal so far this term, in the Capital One Cup victories over Coventry City and Reading.
Last season Frimpong featured 14 times for Arsène Wenger's side by the turn of the year, and made a promising start to a loan spell with Wolverhamton Wanderers before cruciate ligament damage to his right knee brought his campaign to a premature end in February.
He joins up with Chris Powell's Championship side for the opportunity of a return to regular competitive football over the next two months.
Emmanuel first arrived at Arsenal as a schoolboy and was a key part of the Club's 2009 FA Youth Cup-winning team.
Everyone at the Club wishes him well for his time at The Valley.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Hello! This is my first post. I'm hoping to get some feedback on a photo I took that I need to blow it up to 20"x30" for print on a large poster, but I'm really concerned about the noise and image quality, especially around the horizon area (not so much where the sky is black, obviously).
I"ve put a link to the image I'd like to print below (already sized to 20x30 at 200 ppi, so it's 6.7MB), I'm wondering if I can get some feedback about the image and what I can do to reduce the noise around the blue horizon (already tried "Reduce Noise" filter in Ps, to no avail).
Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Arsène Wenger believes his players are "united, passionate and want to win" despite the disappointing draw with Tottenham on Wednesday.
Arsenal have taken some criticism after shipping two late goals against their near-neighbours in midweek. Media reports on Friday morning talked of disagreements in the dressing room after strikes from Jermaine Jenas and Aaron Lennon stole a point.
However Wenger says his side know the "truth on the inside" and stressed the togetherness in his team.
"We were all very disappointed," he told Arsenal.com. "The mood in the dressing room was of disbelief and frustration. But the players are united, passionate and want to win.
"They are in this together, they want to be winners together. We have a long way to go and we are all determined to show that we can fight for this title together. We know the truth on the inside and that is not what has been projected on the outside. We know what we have to do."
Of course, Tottenham's late rally was a blow and left Arsenal six points off leaders Liverpool. However, while it felt like it was a defeat, Wenger's men actually drew the game and rose to third on the strength of it.
"Yes it's not all bad but it is disappointing," said Wenger. "Our run is going on and I would say the future of our season lies in how much we learn from games like that.
"We have fantastic potential but the future of the team is about what we do with that potential. We want to address that very quickly and respond."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

hello does anyone now who sells a high end range finder.
if you are talking about Range finder only, Bobamaker or Asok are the first two names surfaced in my mind :)
I know Asok's coldcast earcaps are great. Got mine a couple months ago and just started cleaning em up (then dirtying them up) to put on the helmet and I am seriously considering hitting him up for rangefinder and stalk next.
Neither Asok or Daz make aluminum ear pieces only commando eight makes them. For the Fett pride helmets. Then there is mojo Fett who is making them for the gmh
I don't think he knows what parts are what
i have a gmh helmet and it has earpieces, but i want aluminum to know if anyone makes aluminum earpieces along with a range finder for the gmh, sorry i am new at this and should have been more specific on my original post.
thanks for your help gents
No problem bud, well if you've got the GMH and are wanting Ali ears then I guess I could help you out there?
I have a thread up at present: - http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f31/g...nterest-43193/

Looking for a non-surgical way to refresh and rejuvenate the skin on your face? A microdermabrasion system provides treatment that is a less aggressive approach than dermabrasion, by using the least abrasive instrument to gently sand the skin, removing the thicker, rough outer layer. Treatment from microdermasion machines is used for light scarring, discoloration and sun damage, and there are also microdermabrasion systems for stretch marks.
Imagine a very fine sand blaster to have a general idea of how a microdermabrasion system works. A microdermabrasion machine uses microparticles, or a diamond tipped wand, to slough away the top layer (epidermis) of the skin while promoting new skin growth. This technique also helps to thicken your own collagen, which leads to younger looking skin. Collagen is a protein found in the skin which makes the skin looks taut and smooth, and it is more abundant when you're a child. The production of collagen decreases with age, leaving uneven rough skin.
There is almost no discomfort when using a microdermabrasion system, which means you do not need local or topical anesthesia, and there is not any recovery or downtime. Take a look at our available microdermasion systems to find one that will suit your needs.

I love upland hunting (namely dove) and would like to try goose or duck this year. As I am definitely not a night owl, and not inclined to get up and drive somewhere at 230 in the morning, what is the latest you could recommend getting to a place, and still getting a decent place (not only do I not need the best spot on a lake, right now I don't want it as I believe it should go to a more experienced hunter, better able to make use of it).
If anyone would like to show me the ropes with waterfowling, I would happy to pay, either in cash or by paying for some of the shells, etc.

Arsenal Football Club celebrates its 125th anniversary at Saturday's match against Everton. Supporters coming to the match are encouraged to arrive early to experience a number of special moments to mark the celebration.
Among the special guests on the day are a selection of legends, who will join a number of supporters whose devotion and support of the Club runs deep. Many of their stories feature around Emirates Stadium on flags, stadium walls, plaques and benches.
Descendants of Arsenal's original team of the Dial Square armaments factory are also guests of honour on Saturday, with important roles to play to honour the Club's founding fathers. The great, great-grandson of Fred Beardsley, who sourced kit from his former team, Nottingham Forest will join Arsenal kit manager, Vic Akers in setting up the dressing room pre-match.
The two great-grandchildren of David Danskin, Arsenal's founding father, will carry out the duty of handing over the match ball to referee Howard Webb, who will decide kick-off with a sixpence to commemorate the founding team members who each gave a sixpence to buy a football.
Supporters are reminded to pick up a souvenir edition of the matchday programme to be in with a chance of finding one of 125 golden tickets to win one of the 18 commemorative shirts worn by the squad on the day, or a souvenir leather football.
To make sure you don't miss out on any of Saturday's action, take a look here to find out what is happening:
- 1.30pm - The Royal Artillery and Orchestra, founded in 1762, will play outside Emirates Stadium above The Armoury store.
- 1.45pm - Unveiling of the Nike '125 Project', which gave Arsenal's most passionate fans the chance to tell their story and see themselves immortalised around Emirates Stadium.
- 2.15pm - The Royal Artillery Band and Orchestra will play inside the Emirates Stadium bowl.
- 2.40pm - Legends will be presented to the crowd alongside supporters.
- 2.50pm - A guard of honour of fans and legends, together with 20 Junior Gunners.
- 2.59pm - Referee, Howard Webb, to toss a sixpence to decide kick-off.
- 3.00pm - David Danskin's great-grandchildren bring out the match ball for the game.
- Half-time - Presentation to Nottingham Forest.
Fans will also feature in a state of the art gigapixel picture. Supporters inside Emirates Stadium will be captured in a moment in time with a 360° hi-res picture, available 48 hours after the match on Arsenal.com and facebook.com/arsenal.
The picture will allow supporters to zoom in close and see most individuals in the crowd in the North Bank, Clock End, West Stand, the East Stand Lower and the front rows of the East Upper.
Eleven benches and plaques containing fans' stories from around the UK and across the globe, which have been collected as part of the Nike '125 Project', will be revealed near the Spirit of Highbury in the south-east corner of Emirates Stadium. Stories from Arsène Wenger and Jack Wilshere feature among these special accounts.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Have a 1980 Rabbit. Not really driving it much. Take it out for a spin every few weeks, but other wise is sitting there. Basically did the swap when was out of work, got a job right before finishing and am working too many hours to enjoy.
Have driven it less than 2K miles in last two years since swap was done.
1.8T ~65K. Timing belt, tensioner, water-pump, thermostat done at swap - have about 2K miles
Motor is stock, but this thing hauls ass as is. ECU is immo defeated, but not chipped.
O2J ~49K. New VR6 clutch at time of swap
Recaro Trophies in front, driver's bolster is ripped.
Dash from 85 rabbit convertible
Cluster from mkIII that shows ~112K. Have the mkIV cluster also.
Everything works. New carpet kit installed just before swap, new windshield installed just before swap. 195/50/15's in great condition, about 5K miles on them.
Front has 16v Scirocco brakes, have rear disk conversion, not installed. Rear sway, front upper and lower stress bars, custom made front brace/subframe to handle extra power. Race springs, front Boge inserts with 5K miles on them (these were great with old 16v, but feel a little soft with 1.8T)
Poly motor mounts / inserts
Exhaust (I think its Borla, but not 100% sure)
Clean headliner, some extra parts.
Dash panel needs to be put in (where the radio and heater / fan controls mount) heater works, but side ducts not currently installed.
I put this together and TST did the wiring / inter-cooler mount.
I totaled my daily, so may be interested in some trades +/- cash.

for whom? shooting what? in what conditions? and respectable to whom?
whats a respectable grouping size at 10 yds and at 15 yds?
thanks for your time
for whom? shooting what? in what conditions? and respectable to whom?
I agree with Ted on this one. It's entirely variable, on everything. In general the real question you should be asking isn't what do random people on the internet think is a good grouping, but rather is whatever grouping size you produce is good enough for you?
a regular golfer plays not against other golfers but against himself...... always trying to better his last score on that course.... i think this is how we shooters need to measure ourselves too.
what is my base line score/group.... say the average of 10 targets by score or group measurement.
now whenever you shoot, you should be trying to consistently improve thru basic shooting techniques.
when the groups get too tight/scores are perfect.... send the target further down range or limit your time or dim the lights.... alter the course of fire till you master it and then change it more....
you decide
fair enough, that was a bad and very subjective question.
If you want a goal to work toward, I'd suggest shot groups that measure 1" to 1.5" for each 5 yards of distance to the target. 10 yard target, 2"-3" groups; 15 yards, 3" to 4.5" clusters. Traditionally, this would be fired from a two-handed unsupported standing position, taking your time (no formal time limit) but without moving out of position or taking a break between shots, and the group would be either 3 or 5 shots. Sometimes, revolver shot groups would be a full cylinder (usually 6 shots, back in the good old days), in each group.
If you get to where you can regularly stay at the bottom end of this range (1" group per 5 yards of distance), you'll probably be defined as a "good shot" by most informal/non-competitive shooters. On some ranges, you'll be a shooting deity, watched in awe from afar and quietly asked for tips and helpful hints; on other ranges, you'll be the new kid that is showing some promise, but still throws one "way out on the edge of the 10-ring" occasionally.
The size that saves your butt if the chips are down.
Here's two totally different "what is a good group" deals I've done in the past two weeks. YMMV will obviously vary based on your objectives.
Note that neither "deal" has anything to do with trying to determine a pistol's "inherent accuracy" grouping at some distance. You know, the standard "magazine review stuff".
First, for self-defense "practice", I have simple home-printed target on plain white 8.5" x 11" paper.
Concentric circles. Starting with one inch radius, and going up to three inches. So, the "big circle" is six inches in diameter.
My usual practice for my current carry gun (Sig P290) is to draw from concealment, fire first mag with whatever you want to call "stance". (Weaver, isoceles, etc.).
Empty it, dump that mag, reload and fire away. Both as fast as possible, with both eyes open "looking through the sights" AT THE TARGET. Starting at 7 yards.
Then maybe ten yards. I seldom try this at 15 or 20 yards. I consider it prefectly acceptable if I get all the shots in the six inch circle. "Center of Mass", you know.
I think most non-LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) ranges WILL NOT allow you to do the draw and fast fire, reload and fast fire. For obvious safety reasons.
I have my favorite "Nat'l Forest hidden spot". Legally I can doing anything I want. And any needed emergency treatment is ENTIRELY up to me.
What is a good group doing this ? Well, I just want all the shots in the six inch diameter circle. Anything better than that is very nice, and just feeds my ego.
Second, I just got my first .22LR pistol. A Browning Buck Mark semi-auto. Many folks use this type (lots of Ruger Mark I,II,III) for competitive rimfire shooting. "Bullseye".
The target is the NRA B8. My cheap home-printed version is below. Actual NRA B8 targets are black for the inner ring (X-ring), second (10 ring), and third (9 ring) circles.
So, the circle points added are X-count, 10 points, 9 points, 8 points, etc. The grayed-out one inch square are not on real targets. Just for my sighting in purposes.
Many clubs do all the bullseye shooting at 25 yards (instead of the NRA match 50 yard "slow-fire"). The shooting has to be done one-handed. So, a totally different ballgame
than "self-defense". People get VERY competitive over this stuff.
This is the 15th target (141-150 shots) from my first time with my new Buck Mark, and first ever session at scoring the bullseye course of fire from 25 yards.
I was tired, and just did all ten shots fast fire. All are on the paper. My first five are all in the 10 ring (scoring 50 points, 1 X). And then I really tired, and started wandering.
Badly. The last shot is very low and left, just under the "A" in "ALL". My observation: this is HARD to do well.
What's a good group doing this ? If you want to be a competitive bullseye shooter, even at the local club level, they all (almost all) need to be in the ten ring.
Number of X (inner) ring counts decide point ties. Yes, I have a LOT of work to do.
IMHO, that close, shooting slowfire for group, you want to be an inch to an inch and a half. If mine aren't all touching at 10 yards, I did something wrong.
...And the prize for the most creative use of golf tees goes to DanP!
Since that's a six-inch circle, getting all of your shots in it at seven to 10 yards, shooting quickly as one would in self-defense, is very nice work.
Of course, doing it with a .22 makes the job somewhat easier.
I believe that if you shoot slowly enough to put all your hits in an inch and a half at 10 yards, you are shooting too slowly for useful self defense. However, that would be good practice in preparation for 50-yard pistol shooting.
Of course, if your adversary is 50 yards away, I believe that you should've evaded and escaped, not engaged. But that's just me.
Not if he engages first.Of course, if your adversary is 50 yards away, I believe that you should've evaded and escaped, not engaged. But that's just me.
And I agree with "your analysis" above.
I just think SD practice needs to be "Fast and Furious", to coin a phrase.
And as for .22LR work, yes, it is easy to "be good" at 10 yards. Bullseye off-hand standing with one hand at 25 yds. is still a very big challenge for me.
A inch and half group at ten yards is very good.
Not very often, but in the past I've done "that slow fire group for accuracy" deal with all my handguns just for fun.
I don't think I achieved any inch and a half groups. Sometimes pretty close as I remember ? But only "best case".
That is pretty close to the inherent accuracy of my centerfire guns and practice ammo. The .22LR is a different animal.
I don't expect to meet a dude who says "your money or your life".
And then says "you have just two minutes to put five rounds in a one inch group into my sternum".
And finally says "After that, I'm going to kill you if any shots are outside your idea of a proper group".
• Move to cover, and use the cover to retreat;
• And if he hasn't already hit you, he's probably a poor shot, so that gives you all the more time to evade and escape;
• While escaping, move in an erratic pattern, making it even more difficult to hit you;
• Crawl to where you left your rifle, assume a steady, prone shooting position, and kill the stupid guy.
In a real-world fight, a pistol is useful out to maybe 20 yards. You can extend that to maybe 35 yards by going to rollover prone and firing very deliberately.
Anything between 20 and 50 yards is carbine country, of you want to make effective, fight-stopping hits.
Out past 25 yards, and in a save-your-life situation, I want a rifle.

Brand History
Clair Omar Musser was a gifted marimba performer, conductor, composer, and marimba designer. He was even trained as an aircraft engineer. In 1930, he became the chief engineer and designer for the JC Deagan Mallet Instrument Company and in 1948, left to start the Musser Mallet Company in the Chicago area.
Musser created the modern Vibraphone design and expanded the line into marimbas, xylophones, chimes, and orchestra bells. It would grow to become the most dominant mallet instrument company in the world.
In 1956, Musser sold his business to Lyons Band in Chicago. A few years later it was sold to Dick Richardson who grew the company further by creating a partnership with the Ludwig Drum Company to distribute products through the same sales team. During this era, jazz vibe legend Lionel Hampton became a major influence for the Musser Company.
In 1965, Ludwig acquired Musser creating a "Total Percussion" company with mallet instruments and drums. Artists like Gary Burton arrived on scene and elevated the Musser brand to new heights.
With a potential shortage of rosewood used to make bars for xylophones and marimbas in the 70's, Musser would be the first to develop a synthetic bar material made from Kelon ®, a special blend of fiberglass strands. This innovation allowed instruments to be used in outside weather elements in drum corps and marching bands.
In 1981, Ludwig Musser was sold to the Selmer Company. Production of Musser mallet instruments continued to be made in LaGrange, Illinois outside of Chicago until 2013 when production was moved to Elkhart, Indiana. Musser today is known as the choice for "sound" by professionals.

Recently I experienced a sudden and tragic loss of a very significant person (HC) in my life. She was a kind-hearted and gentle soul whose unconditional guidance was not only extremely influential to me, but life changing.
HC valued making a difference in people's lives. She was extremely instrumental in my personal and professional growth, and I am grateful for her many words of wisdom and encouragement that I continue to draw from each and every day. I am comforted by the thought that I will benefit from her shared knowledge and strength throughout the rest of my life journey. I was blessed to have experienced her gift and her difference.
Today, I honor HC and the others in my life that have had a significant impact on my development as a person and a coach.
Make a difference. Change a life. It matters.
This entry is in loving memory of HC.

Springfield, Ohio – Wittenberg University presents a gallery exhibition of the works of Molly Morin, a graphic design artist and assistant professor at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, whose uniquely complex body of work, Traces of Awe, combines art and science.
The exhibit runs through Friday, Oct. 25, in the Ann Miller Gallery, Koch Hall. Morin will present a lecture about her work at 4 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 7, in Kissell Auditorium, with a reception to follow.
This gallery of digital masterpieces blends the arts with science and technology – in a very literal sense. To create her artwork, Morin collected digital data using a web crawler that she designed herself.
"The digital prints in this collection are intensely mediated representations of poems by astrophysicist Rebecca Elson," Morin said. "I search for each poem, one word at a time, on the Internet, and data about this search generates the intricate patterns that appear to smear across the surface as they draw out information about each line of poetry."
Morin focuses all of her projects on visualized data sets that are produced from many sources, like poems or text messages, showing how daily life can be digitally transformed into a visual work of art.
"Data I collect will determine the shape, scale, and repetition of forms in the finished drawing," Morin said. "[The pieces of art] are titled with the Google Search term and a line or title from the poem, such that 'Helium: Girl With a Red Balloon' represents a search for the poem 'Girl With a Red Balloon' that started with a Google query for the word 'helium'."
Morin has worked for the Notre Dame Digital Visualization Theater and the Center for Research Computing, creating code-based work, and is currently working alongside Stephen Wolochowicz with interactive projections.
The Ann Miller Gallery is free and open to the public from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For questions regarding the gallery, please contact the Art Department at (937) 327-6311.
