Softball Splits Doubleheader at Wright State on Sunday
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
DAYTON, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay softball team finally got its Horizon League season underway on Sunday, splitting a pair of games at Wright State.
The Phoenix improved to 11-5 overall and 1-1 in the Horizon League after dropping game one, 5-3, before rebounding with a 9-4 win in game two. Wright State moved to 6-19 overall and 3-1 in conference action.
Green Bay returns to action tomorrow, playing a doubleheader at IUPUI starting at 1 p.m.
Game 1 – Green Bay 3, Wright State 5
Wright State rallied from a 3-2 deficit with a big three-run sixth inning as it took game one of the weekend series, 5-3.
The host Raiders got the scoring started in the bottom of the first, capitalizing on a bases-loaded error by the Green Bay defense that allowed one run to score.
The Phoenix got the run back in the top half of the second to knot the score at 1-1. With one out, junior Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) doubled to center, freshman Allie Taylor (Waunakee, Wis.) singled to right and one out later sophomore Kelli Hutchison (Trevor, Wis.) delivered an RBI single to right field.
Green Bay took the lead in the top of the third with two runs to go ahead, 3-1. Again with one out, sophomore Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) singled to third before senior Shannon Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) reached on a Wright State error. Sophomore Briana Cavin (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) entered the game as a pinch runner for Shannon Butts with sister Stacey at the plate, and Stacey delivered the go-ahead runs with a two-RBI triple to center.
The Raiders got one run in the home half of the third to cut the deficit to one run (3-2), but didn't take the lead until the bottom of the sixth inning with a big three-run rally to go up, 5-3. Loading the bases with one out, Wright State strung together back-to-back-to-back RBI performances from Reagan Stofcheck, Libby Pfeffer and Alexis Mayle to push the Raiders ahead.
Green Bay attempted a comeback in the top of the seventh but left two runners stranded as it fell, 5-3.
Stacey Butts drove in two of Green Bay's three runs on the day, finishing 1-for-3. Michalkiewicz was the lone Phoenix with a multi-hit performance, going 2-for-3 with a run scored. Senior Ashley Nannemann (3-2) took the loss after 5.1 innings of work, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits with six walks and three strikeouts.
Wright State's Krystian DeWitt (3-7) picked up the win in the complete-game effort, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits with a walk and six strikeouts.
Game Two – Green Bay 9, Wright State 4
The Phoenix rebounded with an offensive assault in game two as it ran away with a 9-4 win to split the day's action.
Green Bay wasted no time denting the scoreboard, tacking on two runs in the top of the first. Junior Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) led off the game with a walk, advanced to second on a Baker sacrifice bunt and moved to third on a passed ball before coming home on a sophomore Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) single to left. Three batters later Michalkiewicz scored as junior Miranda Spangberg (Wausau, Wis.) singled through the middle to give the Phoenix a 2-0 lead.
The Raiders got one of those runs back in the home half of the inning, and each team added a run in the third inning to keep the Phoenix ahead, 3-2, heading into the fourth. Spangberg again provided the offense for the Phoenix with an RBI single through the right side in the third.
Green Bay tacked on three more runs in the top of the fourth to put its lead at 6-2. With one out and runners on first and second, sophomore Ashley Baker (Green Bay, Wis.) hit a deep single to left center, allowing freshman Katelyn Huemmer (Sun Prairie, Wis.) to score from second. Michalkiewicz and senior Stacey Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) then drilled back-to-back RBI singles to drive in the final two runs of the inning.
Wright State kept it interesting with two runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull to within two runs, 6-4, but Green Bay put the game away in the top of the sixth with three more runs to go ahead, 9-4. Mohrfeld led off the inning with her first home run of the season and Spangberg continued her hot hitting late in the inning, delivering a bases loaded two-RBI double to center field for the final 9-4 margin.
Spangberg finished 3-for-4 in the contest with four RBI, while Michalkiewicz was 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run scored.
Sophomore Briana Cavin (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) earned the win in 4.2 innings of work, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits with three strikeouts and two walks. Freshman Heather Sanderson (Rapid River, Mich.) threw the final 2.1 innings, holding the Raiders hitless while striking out four.

Some exotica for the end of the year: Yesterday I did an interview with the French publication Nouvel Observateur on Google's recent robotics acquisition Boston Dynamics. Google has been acquiring robotics companies hand over fist during 2013, and it's quite a reveal of how they are planning for the Google of tomorrow - something of interest to almost every brand. Here is my short take:
1. Why did Google decide to invest in robotics?

Good luck - I'd go, but it would be a 4 hour round trip - and gas is like $1 million a pint right now!
A friend and I are going to do our best to go to the Austin gun show next weekend to look around and try to sell his Bushmaster AR. He's going to get me a picture soon and I'll post it somewhere if anybody's interested.
Good luck - I'd go, but it would be a 4 hour round trip - and gas is like $1 million a pint right now!
Yeah, but think of the money you could save if you made a really good gun or ammo deal!
I go to the big show in Houston - actually, I won't save much over the local price at Champion. For a gun store, they have the best in-store prices I see anywhere. So, I am very lucky. Only way to save a bit more money is over the net - by the time U pay the FFL transfer fee and shipping, it comes out the same. I do go to the gun show for fun - but add up gas, parking fees and entrance fees, and I save no money really. But, 4 hours round trip - no way I could make back that much money - sorryOriginally Posted by Charlie
I will be in Austin in the Spring probably, for a training meeting. Maybe we can meet up then 1 x.

Any luck selling that AR so far? I remembered seeing it posted here ...
Had a response from a guy from 1911.com but he quickly returned to the shadows! Jon is taking it to the Austin show tomorrow. He may be able to peddle it or trade for something. He could move it if he'd get off his butt and try a little harder.
Well, I have always sold a gun w/i a week - just put it on every gun site.
I've never had any trouble either. Jon took several days just to get me a picture and he teaches Photoshop and other computer graphics courses and has access to tremendous digital camera equip! Maybe it will go maybe not. The show is always interesting and we will enjoy seeing the different "types" of people that frequent the Austin show. Remember Austin's favorite bumper sticker, "KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD!"
Well, the show was interesting. My friend sold his AR (to a dealer, no less!) and immediately bought another AR that he wanted more (flat-top, A4, etc.). I was very pleasantly supprised to see some decent prices on new guns from the dealers there. I was expecting the same old MSRP plus some on the new guns. I don't know if this is typical or not but if so, it looks like I'll add a little time to my road trips and go to Austin rather than San Antonio. Most of what I've seen in S.A. was always way overpriced.
The prices at the Houston gun show at the Reliant Center are usually VERY good.
Where is the Reliant Gun Show? I think you said Brown Convention Center? Where is that? I'm familiar with Houston somewhat but I don't think Brown was there (or not named Brown) way back when I lived there. I'd go if I'm close when they're having one. Going shooting, C U later.
Well, the Reliant Show is at the Reliant Convention Center - There is a new stadium and HUGE, HUGE convention center where the Astrodome is at - the pretty much have built all this new stuff, and the astrodome just sits there now.
The George Brown convention center is in the downtown area - almost next to the new baseball park - Minute Maid Park.
I've gone to the Reliant show many times, and went several times in the late 1990s when it was held at the Astrohall. I've never been to the Brown show yet, but may go to the next one, because the next Reliant show isn't until Oct.
You were supposed to buy 1 or 2 new guns. It's a mandatory requirement upon entering a gun show!

So here's the basics of how you are going to level
Now a days it only takes 10-15 minutes to hit level 10 while as when I started playing 3 years ago it took forever.
Do all your quests on maple island and you will be level 10
Now here is where you adventure begins
At lith harbor talk to Olaf or w/e his name is and pick the path or road to whatever your job your going to be is.
Go attain that job and congratulations you are first job!
Now either find or make some money to go to henesys and go HPQ
HPQ will be a main and easy source of leveling until level 21?
At level 21 go to kerning and find some people to level with at KPQ
KPQ will last you till level 30.
Now this is where I first stop to bring in some making some mesoes
Typically at level 15 you can fame people at a good price depending on which world you are residing in. So fame a person per day and you will rake in some mesoes.
And at level 21 when you KPQ overall dex scrolls drop and they sell for very good prices.
Back then they use to be worth like 1.5mil per scroll now IDK but there still good money.
So now that you are level 30
KPQ until you are level 31 or quest idc
Once level 31, find a level 40-50 buddy and Monster carnival pq with him or her like crazy until level 51 ;p or just until 40 and do some LPQ.
At level 51 you should be able to Orbis or LMPQ, LMPQ will rake in some cash and Orbis been a while. Each PQ will rake you in good exp either way.
I will update this guide with more info soon.

Two things often happen when planning a before-meal appetizer or appetizers for a party. You either can think of something unique that stands out with your guest or you get in a rut and serve the same thing you always do. If in a rush, the appetizer often comes from a freezer.
This week's adventure includes two appetizers guaranteed to wow your guests with minimal effort.
The first is a recipe for prosciutto potato poppers. Prosciutto is a type of cured ham often used in Italian cooking.
To make the dish, toss new potatoes in the olive oil and garlic mix and then wrap them in the prosciutto. The recipe said to wrap each potato in a slice of prosciutto but I found half a slice was more than enough to cover the potato.
When I started the appetizer I realized I didn't have any rosemary. As a substitution I decided to continue through the lyrics of Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" and used thyme instead. It's a different taste than rosemary but you could probably use a variety of herbs on this dish and it still would work.
The prosciutto potato poppers not only turned out beautiful but a gathering of friends approved when I tried the dish out on them. They are very willing guinea pigs.
Another easy appetizer is a twist on caprese salad.
Using fresh basil, cherry or grape tomatoes and pearl mozzarella, build the appetizer on a tooth pick. This creates a colorful appetizer with the taste of a caprese salad in small form.
You can get even more colorful by using a variety of colors of tomatoes.
A tip on serving appetizers is in the plating. I prefer a couple different methods.
Use dishes in similar color tones but different shapes and sizes. This gives a uniform look while still showing variety.
Another method is to use plates in similar shapes but in different colors. It still gives a since of uniformity with adding variety.
The third is use dishes that don't match at all. Everyone has their own taste but in my head it either all matches or none of it matches. When everything has a common theme and one plate is different it throws off the entire look for me.
The right plating can sometimes make the simplest dish look like the fanciest one on the table.

Prosciutto Potato Poppers
1⁄4 cup olive oil
1 1⁄2 pounds new potatoes (about 20 small potatoes)
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder 20 slices prosciutto
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder and salt. Add the potatoes, then toss well to coat. Wrap each potato in a slice of prosciutto. To do so, place the potato at one end of the slice, then roll. Press the prosciutto to wrap it snugly around the potato. Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the potatoes with the rosemary, then bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until a knife easily pierces to the center of the potatoes.

Caprese Salad on a Stick
Mozzarella pearls
Grape or cherry tomatoes
Fresh basil leaves
Place a mozzarella pear and a tomato between a ribboned basil leaf on a toothpick. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar and serve.
Prepare shortly before serving because the basil may brown.

text: Action Alert: Education and Economic Recovery Update: On Weds., January 28, the House voted, 244-188, to approve the recovery plan. Attention now turns to the Senate. Massachusetts and 40 other states are currently facing huge budget deficits that threaten resources for our schools and colleges and may cause thousands of educators to be laid off. MTA members need to act now to try to prevent public education from facing devastating cuts. Governor Deval Patrick has rallied the leaders of other states, and they have called on President-elect Barack Obama and Congress to target $250 billion to help public schools and public higher education. The education funding, which would go directly to states, is one of a number of measures proposed by Patrick and his fellow governors from New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Wisconsin as part of the federal economic recovery package now being developed. In addition to education spending, their plan would provide resources for infrastructure investment, health care and anti-poverty programs that are critical for struggling families. The total package would cost close to $1 trillion. As you know, many priorities are competing for inclusion in the economic recovery package. It is crucial to protect public education from the ravages of the economic crisis. Please take a few minutes to urge Senator Edward Kennedy and Senator John Kerry to make sure that money is targeted for education in the economic recovery package that Congress passes. Also please urge President Obama to include education funding in his proposal and thank Governor Patrick for organizing the multi-state advocacy effort.


text: MTA calls on legislators to support inclusion of Foundation Budget Review Commission The MTA is urging members to ask their representatives and senators to support the inclusion of a Foundation Budget Review Commission in the final state budget for the coming fiscal year. The goal is to ensure that language in the Senate budget calling for a commission to study the current foundation budget for education is included in the final conference committee report. An amendment providing for a reconstituted Foundation Budget Review Commission passed the Senate on a vote of 38-0 and is in the Senate budget, but no similar provision was included in the budget passed by the House of Representatives. Now state senators and state representatives appointed to a conference committee charged with hammering out the differences between the House and Senate spending plans will decide whether the commission stays or goes. The governor, House and Senate have until June 30 to reach an agreement on the state budget for the new fiscal year, which begins on July 1. MTA President Paul Toner is urging all members to reach out to their senators and representatives and ask them to strongly support the inclusion of the commission provision in the final state budget. Members of the commission would be tasked with studying the current foundation budget and recommending any changes that may be needed so that students can meet state educational standards. "The foundation budget plays a key role in determining the amount of state funding sent to public school districts and is clearly in need of review," Toner said. "It really influences whether schools have the resources they need to provide students with a high-quality education – which is the goal of every educator in the Commonwealth." The members of the budget conference committee are Senator Stephen Brewer (D-Barre) and Representative Brian Dempsey (D-Haverhill), the Ways and Means Committee co-chairs; Senator Jennifer Flanagan (D-Leominster) and Representative Stephen Kulik (D-Worthington), the Ways and Means Committee vice chairs; Senator Michael Knapik (R-Westfield); and Representative Viriato deMacedo (R-Plymouth). Please click here to e-mail your legislators and urge them to show their support for the Foundation Budget Review Commission provision.

I'm not a big fan of Stevie Nicks wardrobe, and that's what the shirt on the left reminds me of. Peasant blouses are comfy but a little dated, so it's cool that Megan saw the potential in this top.

Reporters Beaten by Mob of Blacks and Their Newspaper Stayed Silent
Follow Todd on Twitter by clicking here
Ethical questions are being raised both inside The Virginian-Pilot and in the Norfolk, Va. area after two of the paper's reporters were attacked and beaten by a mob of at least 30 blacks, but was downplayed by police and withheld from the public for more than two weeks by the newspaper's editors.
Reporters Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami were leaving a concert on the night of April 14 when a crowd of around 100 young people gathered on the sidewalk near their car. Rostami reached over to lock the door.
According to a police report obtained by Fox News, a black male hurled a rock at the car. Forster got out and tried to confront the individual who damaged his car. Instead, a gang of attackers began punching and pound the reporter. Police would not confirm the exact number — but at least one account put the number at 30.
Rostami tried to pull him back inside the car, but others in the crowd began attack her, the police report stated. She was beaten a half dozen times by an unidentified black man.
Rostami was eventually able to call 9-1-1. Police officers responded, they wrote an incident report and labeled it "simple assault."
The reporters had to take a week off to recover from their injuries. To date no one has been arrested for the crime.
There was no mention of the attack in the pages of The Virginian-Pilot until Tuesday – more than two weeks later – when columnist Michelle Washington wrote a detailed story on the police department's handling of the attack and she raised questions about her own newspaper's lack of coverage.
And she also mentioned another previously undisclosed component to the story.
The day after the attack Forster searched Twitter and found a chilling tweet Washington wrote.
"I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light," one person wrote.
"I don't," wrote another, indicating laughter. '(do it for trayvon martin) (sic)"
"Were Forster and Rostami beaten in some kind of warped, vigilante retribution for a killing 750 miles away, a person none of them knew?" Washington wrote. "Was it just bombast? Is a beating funny, ever?"
A police spokesman tells Fox News that the incident is still under investigation and they are also looking at whoever wrote the tweet. But as of now – the case is still a simple assault – and does not rise to the level of a hate crime.
But James Duane, a law professor at Regent University, said he is troubled by the police department's categorization of the crime.
"This is cause for serious concern," he told Fox News. "It sounds like it's much more than a simple assault. Any sort of criminal activity that is engaged spontaneously by a large crowd of individuals especially individuals who are merely strangers to them is a cause for serious concern and ought to be on the part of any police officer or police department."
Washington wrote that police seemed dismissive when they arrived at the crime scene, telling the injured Rostami to "shut up and get in the car."
"Both said the officer did not record any names of witnesses who stopped to help," Washington wrote. Rostami said the officer told them the attackers were 'probably juveniles anyway. What are we going to do? Find their parents and tell them?"
Duane said it was a "surprising characterization" and said the attack would warrant more charges "and at a minimum a more serious attempt at investigation than what we are led to believe happened here."
"Even simple assault is still a criminal offense," Duane said.
The Virginian-Pilot's readers have been sounding off online – accusing the newspaper and the police department of a cover-up and demanding answers.
"I sincerely believe that the Pilot has acted irresponsibly, and has, by omission, out right lied to its readers," wrote Thomas McElvy. "This crime, had the roles been reversed and it was two blacks attacked by thirty or more whites, would have made the wire services. All you have done is show your lack of journalistic integrity."
"This rag did not have the decency to print this story two weeks ago?" wrote Patrick Kenneally. "The police should be ashamed of themselves and a major investigation into what that cop was thinking should be conducted."
Another writer called it "downright shameful" and said the information needed to "get out so that somebody can clean up the streets."
The Virginian-Pilot's editor told Fox News there was debate in the newsroom over whether to cover the story – but in the end they decided not to – because they don't cover simple assaults.
"We bend over backwards not to treat ourselves any differently than the rest of the community," Denis Finley told Fox News. "We don't cover simple attacks. The fact that we know these folks doesn't make any difference. We don't want to be perceived as doing something different for ourselves than we would do for the rest of the community."
Finley strongly denied accusations the newspaper was covering up the story because of the racial component.
"We have no indication that this is racial, no indication that this was anything other than – so far – a simple attack," he said. "There have been all kinds of innuendo, assumptions, prejudices, you name it revolving around the story but the fact is it was a simple attack and we didn't put it in the paper."
He also defended their decision not to cover the tweets that suggested the attack may have had something to do with the Trayvon Martin case.
"That's another complication," he said. 'I don't know where those tweets came from. I don't know who said them. Anybody can say anything they want on social media after the fact. I have no idea what those tweets mean – if anything. They're no different than the attacks that have been leveled on me and the newspaper from some of my readers who have assumed some things that just aren't true."
Finley said the incident is a "sticky situation" for the newspaper.
"What would I have to gain by protecting someone who attacked my reporters?" he said. "That's a preposterous statement to make."
Michael Finch, a journalism professor at Lee University, believes The Virginian-Pilot did a disservice to their readers.
"It would seem to me this would definitely be a story," he told Fox News. "In journalism there are seven news values and it seems like this story really meets all seven of them – which is rare."
"It's a timely story, it has impact, it relates to a prominent event, it's in close proximity to their news outlet, it's a little bit bizarre, it includes conflict and it deals with public concern," he said. "It's as good as a news story as you can get."
Finch said he certainly understands the newspaper's dilemma "because it was one of their own."
However, he said, the sheer size of the attack mob elevated the story's newsworthiness.
And Finley promised that if the police department elevates the crime – they will certainly give the story "due diligence."

About a mile from my house I saw wiley, without a care in the world walking through a plowed field. I pulled off and took this picture of him. My camera phone is not that great, he was about 150 yards away, calm as could be.
I have never been able to get permission to hunt this land; it is part of a 2,000 plus acre ranch that houses all of the problem coyotes in my area.

I have bought this for under my wedding dress and when I have it on it shows off my figure to a T! Very comfortable on. Needed a little help clipping it up as it's hook and eye but fine once it's on. (Posted on 17/07/2013)
The bra is fitting when... The underband is firm, but not uncomfortable.
Troubleshooting If the underband is riding up, the back size is too big.
The bra is fitting when... The breasts are totally encased within the wire, which should sit flat against the body. (The wire should not sit on the breast tissue).
Troubleshooting If the underband is on the loosest setting and is uncomfortably tight, then the back size is too small.
The bra is fitting when... There is no bulging at the underarm or the neck edge. The straps are comfortable..
Troubleshooting If the straps are digging into the shoulders, they are supporting too much of the weight of the breasts and so the underband may not be giving enough support. A smaller back size may be needed.
The bra is fitting when... The arms are lifted and the bra stays in place.
Troubleshooting If the cups lift away from the chest when the arms are lifted, then either a smaller back size and/or a larger cup size is needed.
The bra is fitting when... There is no wrinkling on the cups.
Troubleshooting If the cups are wrinkling and there is space at the top and the sides of the cup, a smaller cup size is needed.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
No one mentions "Don't flush anything unless you ate it". If I expect guests to do nothing but lol in the sun, I still show them how the head works.
And how to use the VHF, in case I'm the one in the water.

I figure that worst case if they were to drop anchor that she would just turn up into the wind and the sails would flap around for a bit before i could swim back to the boat. This is assuming that I'm not knocked out by the boom or something.
Jack Lines
You don't have to be in heavy weather to use jack lines and a tether. Last year I was leaving Lake Tasmoo on the Vinyard, a perfect day wind at about 6 knots and the water was calm. I steered the boat into the wind and went forward to raise my mainsail and when returning to the cockpit the wind shifted slightly, got hit gently by the boom and over I went! I found out why they call them lifelines when I caught the back of my knees in them and saved myself from going completely over. Hair in the water and one hand on the lifeline I got myself back on board. All that happened was brjuised legs and pride. Now I go forward I hook up, period!
I was just thinking of putting together a list of this sorts for guests coming onboard. I think mine will include things like, my nav station is for my use, and not a storage area for them. Showing them where they should stow their gear, and things about water and electricity usage, as well as how the galley works, because they are cooking! I also think its important (maybe just with my friends) to go over alcohol consumption... basically, if they want to be a part of the crew, and help, then no drinking (maybe a single beer is ok), but if they want to drink, then stay out of the way of the crew.
The last time I had a buddy come with us for a few days, I didn't do a good job at all of going over things. He didn't have as good a trip as he could have, and we didn't either.
I would say those are all good things to cover... and i do that as well before leaving the dock or atleast on the way out.

Just cause you don't want to sail in conditions that warrant using harnesses, tethers and jacklines, doesn't mean that mother nature will cooperate and leave you out of experiencing such weather. Just something to consider... it is far better IMHO to have them and not use them because they're not needed, than to need them and not have them when they are needed.

Thanks to All
Thanks to all for the comments and ideas. To answer some of the questions
Sailingdog thanks for the info - I have both electric and manual bilge pumps.
I would like to see the sign for emergency radio instructions when you get it.
I will make a point to talk more about MOB procedures.
I have life vests with the harnesses built in and tethers but no jack lines. I will make a point to get jack lines on board. So far I have managed to avoid conditions that require them but you never know when I am going to get in a situation where I need them and when I do I am sure I will really need them bad.
Dquack I did leave seasickness off the list. We use Sturgeron and it really works well. I will include that item from now on.
You make a great point about having fun. It is easy to get caught up in all the stuff associated with sailing on the ocean and miss the sense of wonder and true magic that is sailing. It continues to be one of the most memorable experiences for my friends and family. Dont know what I did last week, last year or yesterday but I can talk for hours about every time I have been sailing.
Tommyt and barryl great post - Crew to me is anyone on the boat and I have a wide range of experience form racing sailors to first timers. Tailoring the message to the audience is important and I will definitely use you input.
The operation of the head is one of the first things we go over with people but having instructions posted is a great idea.
I just tell everyone to stay out of my way....
Unless my older son is on board, I do everything, with the help of Ralf, of course, our autopilot.
I do wear a harness, my kids do also, when we are on the way...
I still have to work on good anchor points, though...
Well said TommyT... best MOB recovery plan is prevention.
Originally Posted by tommyt View Post

I have a list that I give people that are guests on the boat. Mostly non sailors, but it hopefully relaxes them a little. Points out what COULD happen, and never has, and what counter measures are available, to reassure them about the boat.
Basic things like: Do as much or as little as you want, lines under tension are under lots of tension, don't put anything you value between the boat and the dock, and the boom and the head are the two most dangerous things on the boat. Use them both, don't abuse them!
Serious crew, those that are sailors and operating the boat, we talk about duties and risks. Non serious....I sail, they do what they want as long as I show them what to do.
Jacklines and tethers...have them! When it is blowing, whether alone or with crew, we use them. We practice MOB and plan NEVER to have a MOB!
If I have people who have never sailed I will give them a minute or two talk to help understand that:
-The boat will lean
-The boat will not tip over
-If you fall overboard don't panic, we will come back for you
-If I fall overboard call for help on the radio - there are printed instructions right next to it.
-If you need to use the head, there are instructions on the wall.
I don't have tethers or jacklines, and don't want to ever sail in conditions that warrant them.

Staff Review
Staff reviews powered by Our TeamIf you are looking for a quality knee pad, look no further than the Under Armour Volleyball Knee Pad. This knee pad is my current favorite and I have been using this type for several years, coming back to it each time I need new knee pads. The reason I love them so much is the fit. They fit tighter which I like because I hate feeling like my knee pad may slide down once I slide or land on it. Also, they are made of polyester, so they can easily go through the washing machine, which we all know knee pads need to do multiple times in their use because of the smell.
Also, they are super lightweight and low pro-file, so I have lots of mobility running and jumping without a bulky knee pad in the way. They are also right and left specific so that each knee gets the protection specifically for that knee. Coming in black and white, you have the color choice that works best for you. Personally, I like black better because you can't see the dirt on the knee pad, even after tons of uses.
Similar to the regular knee pads, there is the Under Armour Switch Volleyball Knee Pad.The have heatgear lining to create optimal breathability, and they are also reversible so you have double the color options. Coming in red, black, white, and navy, you are certain to find what best works for you. Also, check out the Under Armour 406 Performance Crew Socks. These socks rock because they whisk away moisture while also giving extra padding and protection to areas that get the most impact in your foot.

The long awaited American military effort in Afghanistan to replicate the so-called success of the "surge" is now underway in the province of Helmand and areas which have not seen American or Afghanistan soldiers in years. Operation Khanjar(Strike of the Sword) has poured thousands of Marines into combat with the Taliban in an effort to flood the area with so many soldiers it will be impossible for the Taliban to exert their authority. As General Nicholson notes, "the intent is to go big, go strong, go fast, and by doing so we are going to save lives on both sides." Initial reports indicate many members of the Taliban are retreating to higher ground.
Unfortunately, the belief that following the success of the "Iraq Surge" will produce similar results in Afghanistan. But, it is still unclear as to the meaning or permanence of the Iraq surge. The surge itself stemmed initially from support of Sunni Awakening Councils which threw their men and arms into the fight against al-Qaeda. No such group exists in Afghanistan and without the support of local groups, no number of soldiers in themselves will be able to consolidate retention of land. As of this point, there is no evidence a functioning efficient government exists in Afghanistan.
Yes, American soldiers can proceed fast, but it is not speed that counts, but the support of the local population.

Dover and Krenzien Earn All-League Honors
By: Jill Wunrow (@JillWunrow)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With the 2012 Green Bay (2-10-3, 0-4-2 HL) men's soccer season in the books, the Horizon League office handed out postseason awards Monday, Nov. 5 with Green Bay's Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) and Jordan Dover (Ontario, Canada) picking up honors for the first time in their careers.
Krenzien, a midfielder for the Phoenix, earned First Team All-League honors after making the transition from playing forward throughout his career to anchoring the midfield and defensive line for the Phoenix this season.
"The transition for me was a big change but a good mix for me being able to defend and attack," Krenzien said. "It's an honor to be recognized by other coaches and the league. It would have been great to have more success as a team but the awards show we weren't as far off in the standings as the numbers may indicate."
Krenzien led his junior class with two goals and five points while starting all 16 games for the Phoenix in 2012. The defender scored both of his goals in a 10-day span during the month of September with his first coming against regular-season Horizon League champion Detroit Sept. 14. Krenzien also added a goal for the Phoenix against Gonzaga Sept. 23, earning Nike Classic All-Tournament Team honors.
The honor marks the 10th consecutive season a Green Bay men's soccer player has been named a First Team All-League selection.
For the seventh consecutive season, a Green Bay player earned a spot on the All-Newcomer Team as freshman midfielder Jordan Dover picked up the honors for the Phoenix.
Dover led Green Bay's freshman class with one goal, one assist, three points and 13 shots while playing in 12 games for the Phoenix. At just 17 years of age, upperclassmen like Krenzien see the potential of the Green Bay program with Dover on the field for the Phoenix.
"He's still young and has a long way to go with growing up both mentally and physically," Krenzien said. "It took him a while to get used to the pace of the game but in the future he's going to be very good for us."
Dover's lone goal of the season came in Green Bay's 1-1 double overtime tie at Valparaiso Oct. 6 while the freshman's assist was off a corner kick against Oregon State Sept. 21.
Including Krenzien and Dover, Green Bay returns five of its top six scorers in 2013 (Ahmad Bah, Kirby Allen, and Sebastian Xiong).

Johan Djourou believes Serge Gnabry has both the talent and the character to become a key player for Arsenal.
The 17-year-old has made a major impression since his arrival from Stuttgart last summer and has recently been hailed by Arsène Wenger as "a big hope for the future".
Gnabry is likely to feature against Coventry in the Capital One Cup third round on Wednesday night and Djourou says supporters will see a special talent.
"We have a lot of great young guys coming through and one of them is Serge Gnabry," he told the Official Matchday Programme.
"He's a very good young player, really tricky, and someone with a big future ahead of him. He has all the attributes to become a very good winger or No 10, and has the right character too.
"If you have that, and don't get carried away, you have a great chance."
Djourou captained a young Arsenal side at the same stage of last season's League Cup against Shrewsbury, and says it was a memorable occasion for him.
"It was privilege to captain Arsenal - something special," he said. "It showed a real respect towards me, too.
"This is a competition that I will take very seriously as a chance to, hopefully, get a game and help us through to the next round. We need to come out and give everything to win."

If you look at the warranty on the new cheaper Warn 8000 its not quite as good. I got my M8000 on sale with a mail in rebate and when it was said and done i got the winch for $480 shipped. Im impatient so it was worth the extra $$ for the WAY faster line speed

I bought one of the small cheap hf winch, Its been.used a few times works good for what it is,and has a wireless remote
I bought the extended warranty thinking I would burn it up in a year... Turns out I was wrong but for the extra $5 or 10 bucks it was cheap insurance if I ever had a problem with it,
I've been thinking of buying a hf badlands winch, because of the price, and seem pretty reliable, as far as line speed I'm not a professional rock crawler and could care less!! Lol

I tried that, and they wouldn't give me a new one without adding cash since the winch I bought was discontinued. I got my 10k winch for just over $200 with it being on sale combined with a coupon. I bought the warranty, got the return authorization over the phone. .. They said they would only warranty the price I paid, not the actual product. So they wanted $300 out of my pocket to exchange my discontinued Chicago electric winch with a 12k badlands. I was pissed and made a small scene at the store.
The store was packed. I just kept saying to the manager, "so your saying that you don't warranty discontinued items..". "

Every time I had something warranted that wasn't available, I just got the money I paid applied to anything I wanted. Can't get cash back but I didn't even have to buy a similar product.

They basically offered my store credit for what I paid for the winch, which I could apply toward a replacement. The comparable replacement was not on sale yet, and price at $599. My argument is that the warranty was supposed to replace my winch with another one. It's not my problem that they no longer carried my model. That's what they sold me on, that's what the warranty company told me.
I always thought a 2 year replacement warranty would be as it sounds.
Am I wrong in thinking that since I paid extra for the warranty, and made the claim within my warranty time, I should get a comparable replacement if the same model is not available.
That's the argument I made with the store manager in front of the jammed checkout area. Funny, the crowd was agreeing with me. They try selling that extended warranty for everything and people were laughing at them about it for the 20 minutes I was stuck standing there.

As far as why the 12k comes back-
Burnt out motor- said started winching slowly and started to give up
Snapped release handle- didn't feel like explaining that
Rust/mud/crap worked its way into the gears
Broken plastic electrical boxes
I've seen some that are just beat to hell and still running, its a good product.
Haven't had one come back (to my store at least) snapped or any kind of catastrophic malfunction.
Local tow businesses use them on their trucks for recovery, they're a damn good product for the price (keep in mind MSRP on it is $500 not 299, normal sale price is 399)
The best price ever offered on the 12000 # Winch is $299 with a coupon code you can get from the website and write it down and go buy it in the store. YES YOU NEED THE COUPON CODE. The current coupon code is not active for much longer- if it even still is? - but the 299 price will be back for the January Blow out sale, check your ad.
Also, everyone seems happy with the wireless remote, item number 69229. On sale right now as well for 24.99
Rob, I sent you a PM.
And to clear up confusion- The new badlands winch, is WAAAY better than the old chicago electric ones, or the ones with Green/ Camo paint.

...at the 13th Annual Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee held earlier this month.
The bee is our fundraiser to buy books to give children through Ready to Read, our early childhood literacy program that helps prepare children to be ready to learn to read when they enter school.
Corporate sponsors pulled together a company team or sponsored a team from an area nonprofit organization. Fourteen teams, each with two spellers and six cheerleaders, learned a cheer or dance routine, designed wild and crazy costumes and practiced their spelling. Once all the bills are in and paid and all pledges have been received, we expect to have raised $20,000 - $22,000! That will buy a lot of books for area children.
Thanks to our corporate sponsors, donors, judges, cheerleaders, spellers, and the library staff who pull all this together for such a good cause. And, of course, congratulations to all the winners.
It was fun with a serious purpose and we are looking forward to the 14th next fall. Watch a replay of the Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee on PMN television (channel 95) and enjoy these photos to appreciate what a fun time we had.
Congratulations to KPL's "award-winning" cheerleaders!

Took these today.Just click the finshed gauntlets folder.
NICE!!!! VERY NICE...........I still LOOOVE that E11 conversion though.........must be the scope blocks ;)
Thanks DL, must be those blocks :D
Looking good :thumsup
Let me make a suggestion on your left gauntlet, specifically the flame thrower. Pardon me if I'm wrong, but it looks as though you used some type of plastic pipe or tubing to make them. Get some plastic spacers, different sizes, and slide them on the shafts. They sell them in Lowes or HD in the "hard to find" specialty parts section near the bolts and screws.
For example, here are mine.
My shafts were made from aluminum rod, with different size pieces of aluinum, copper, and brass tubing. The top jet is the bristle end of a paint brush. The bottom one is from a metal striking tool.
Just an idea, to make them look more accurate.
Thanks FT.Actually its just a length of aluminum tubing, it was a cheap and simple interpetation.Thats what I want to do, but time is a concern right now.I just needed something there for now.I used nylon spacers for my knee darts.Ill do that in my spare time after halloween.
I gotcha.
Good work so far!
They look great man. I know this thread is about your gauntlets, but I just gotta comment on your jet pack. Man that thing looks sweet!!! great looking suit all around;) :thumbsup

Are e-cigarettes blowing smoke?
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News | December 29. 2012 10:13PM
Tyler Bush, manager of The Vapor Bar in Grapevine, Texas, puffs on an electronic cigarette. "Vaping" is an alternative to tobacco smoking, and customers can pick liquids with their preferred flavors and nicotine levels. (Max Faulkner/Fort Worth Star-Telegram/MCT)
A recent trend in that arena, however, has some medical and cessation experts somewhat concerned. The trend has been in the use of e-cigarettes and other electronic devices that emit vapors to simulate the inhalation of tobacco smoke.
"I've had mixed reviews on them, because they are not (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved and they are not regulated in any way," said Kate McNally, program coordinator for the Cheshire Coalition for Tobacco Free Communities. "The results people are going to get will be very random. And so they are not an evidence-based strategy for quitting tobacco, although I know some people have had success, and I've had other people say they just tossed it on the shelf and it didn't help them at all."
Sold over the counter at most convenience stores, e-cigarettes are nicotine delivery devices that plug into either a wall socket or a computer to charge, rather than being lit with fire. Most of these gadgets look like cigarettes, but instead of producing smoke, they emit what manufacturers call a harmless vapor.
Mixed message
But according to a researcher at Norris Cotton Cancer Center and Dartmouth-Hitchcock pediatrician who studies and teaches ways to prevent kids from using tobacco, there are several problems with using these e-devices.
Echoing the Cheshire Coalition's McNelly, the researcher, Susanne Tanski, noted that such devices are not regulated by the FDA. And, Tanksi said, the FDA has warned that manufacturers are not to market these devices as smoking cessation devices or as safer than conventional cigarettes since there is no proof of their effectiveness or safety.
"This is like buying vitamins from a street vendor," Tanski said recently in a Norris Cotton publication. "You really have no way of knowing what you are getting or where it comes from, yet people willingly inhale these unregulated chemicals into their lungs."
Teresa Brown, cessation specialist for QuitWorks NH, said the studies that have been done indicate that levels of nicotine from e-devices are all over the board, with some cartridges containing a little and others contain a lot. She said that some studies have shown that certain brands of e-cigarettes even have as much as double the nicotine found in other smoking cessation aids.
Some of the devices also have turned up positive for carcinogens.
"There definitely are detectable levels of carcinogens," Brown said. "There is inconsistency not only with the nicotine but with the carcinogens."
When smoking an e-cigarette, air is inhaled through the plastic device, in the same manner a traditional cigarette is smoked. As described by Norris Cotton officials, the inhalation creates a vacuum that engages a battery, which in turn initiates a heating element to warm chemicals housed in a replaceable cartridge. If there are carcinogens present in the cartridge, this heating process causes them to multiply, Brown said.
Other concerns
The stabilizer used in many e-cigarette cartridges - propylene glycol - also is also cause for concern, according to Tanski. Propylene glycol is found in products such as deodorant and hand sanitizer, according to the Norris Cotton Center, but "no testing has been done on the short- or long-term effects to humans of inhaling it repeatedly and deeply once it's been vaporized."
At the recent C. Everett Koop Tobacco Treatment Conference. which was sponsored by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, an official from the Maine Health Center for Tobacco Independence also pointed out that contaminants such as diet medications and erectile dysfunction drugs had been found in some of the e-cigarette cartridges.
Further, the Norris Cotton Center's Tanski said, the storage of the e-cigarette's nicotine replacement cartridges and refill bottles are colored and flavored, potentially making them attractive to small children and pets. A single refill bottle of nicotine can contain as much as 100 mg of nicotine. If ingested, 10 mg of nicotine is a toxic dose for a small child, according to Norris Cotton officials.
"These cartridges and refill bottles must be kept safely away from children or pets. A single cartridge can have 10 times the nicotine in a cigarette and could be lethal if ingested," said Tanski. "I don't recommend this product as a nicotine replacement therapy or smoking cessation aid . They are not safe or reliable."
Alternative methods
Instead, most experts recommend trying methods that are more proven before resorting to e-cigarettes.
"The front lines for people who want some assistance," said McNally, "would be the nicotine patch, nicotine gum, nicotine lozenge, nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray . Those are the top lines of defense. Those are FDA-approved, they have specific amounts of nicotine, and research shows they work."
In addition, she said, some people also have success with medications like Chantix and Wellbutrin.
Quitworks NH's Brown points out that combining medications can increase a person's chances for success.
"So, if you just use the patch, your chance of success is doubled if you use the patch and the gum," she said. "It's tripled if you use the patch and the gum and talk to a counselor on the phone."
"It's 2013," she added. "There's all kinds of things out there to help."

So this totally sucks:
I sold my gauntlets to a guy on the RPF and packaged them up, I thought, very carefully, but I think I underestimated the postal system.
See here:
Yeah. I know. Not cool.
Anyway, I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on repairing them?
I have a few of my own, but there's plenty of guys and girls here who I'm sure are much better at this sort of thing than I.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Wealth in all societies is an invitation to act in bizarre and disorderly ways because there are always parents standing by to assert the power of money. A group of boys attending the exclusive Xavier College in Melbourne, Australia, decided the principal had violated their rights to abuse other students by suspending them for a few days. They decided to declare a "muck-up" which gave them permission to rampage through the streets of Melbourne destroying property and throwing their beer bottles wherever they desired. The boys had been guilty of injuring a fellow student whom they had been bullying for months. Naturally, to the children of power, they had a right to abuse and hurt.
The principal received numerous phone calls from irate parents who were upset he had suspended the boys for three days. Perhaps, the parents had forgotten the world has witnessed boys who had submitted to being bullied decided to take out their anger with guns aimed at fellow students rather than going on a drunken rampage.
One can only imagine the reaction of these parents to a drunken rampage by children whose skins were not white.

Phoenix Raising Awareness, Funds to Fight Breast Cancer
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - As part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Green Bay volleyball program is holding a number of activities this week to help raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Highlighting the efforts is the breast cancer awareness auction on GreenBayPhoenix.com, which ends on Friday, Oct. 26 at 7:45 p.m. CT during the team's "pink" match against Milwaukee at the Kress Center.
The auction items include a clinic for 50 children put on by the Green Bay volleyball team, a Radisson Hotel package, a game-used pink volleyball autographed by the team, a tie blanket and pillow package handmade by the Phoenix players, and bench seats for two at a Green Bay volleyball game. Bidding stations will be available at the Kress Center during Friday's match where fans can place their final bids.
In addition to the auction, performance material t-shirts featuring breast cancer ribbons and pink Phoenix volleyball logos will be sold during the match for $20. Fans can also purchase pink Phoenix logo cutouts for $1, write their names on them and display them at the Kress Center to show support during the match. The Green Bay volleyball players will also be selling both the t-shirts and logo cutouts in the University Union on Wednesday and Thursday between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., encouraging students to get involved in the cause.
Green Bay head coach Debbie Kirch and her team began the breast cancer fundraising efforts in 2005 when former Phoenix player Jill Smits Damrow's (2002-05) mother developed breast cancer prior to her senior season. Damrow will be in attendance on Friday and will speak to the Kress Center crowd about breast cancer awareness, her mother's fight and the development of Green Bay volleyball's efforts prior to the start of the match.
"What started as a small, individual sport event has turned into something much bigger with the help of others in the athletics department," Kirch said. "It is now more of a department-wide effort and we have been able to make more of an impact because we have so many others involved.
"I hope that we not only make an impact on breast cancer research with the funds we raise, but also make an impact on the young women on our team. With one out of every eight women developing breast cancer in their lifetimes, the chance of us being impacted by the disease either directly or through someone close to us is significant. Knowledge is a powerful tool in fighting this disease."
Green Bay and Milwaukee will play with pink and white game balls during Friday's contest. Fans are also encouraged to show support by wearing pink, in addition to purchasing the awareness t-shirts and logo cutouts and participating in the online auction.

Sports Spotlight: D.J. Coursey Breaks Gus Barnes' Rushing Record at City View
Wichita Falls, Texas -
The saying goes records were meant to be broken. Well on Friday night at City View one record that had stood for over eleven years fell victim to those very words. The mustangs single game rushing record held previously by Gus Barnes. Falling victim to an absolutely huge offensive night for D.J. Coursey. The City View junior rushing for 357 yards in a 70-41 win.
Gus Barnes was a powerhouse for City View in 2002. Barnes breaking the single game rushing record in a game against Seymour, notching 322 yards on the ground. Barnes says being in the stands on Friday night wathcing D.J. Coursey inch closer and closer to his record brought him back to that night, "it's still in my mind. In my memory. That's something that will never go away."
Gus watched from the stands as D.J. Coursey racked up yard after yard, touchdown after touchdown on Friday night, "i watched him play pretty much the entire game. I didn't think about it until the third quarter. I said oh my god this kid could break the record. I talked to my parents and said hey this kid is probably going to break my record. I was checking the stats toward the end of the game to see how close he was."
City View head coach Rudy Hawkins said he and his team were so caught up winning the game, they didn't realize until later how many yards Coursey had gained, "i knew he had a lot of yards. I didn't really realize how many he had until later. With the game going back and forth so much during the night we were just more worried about winning. But after we got about a two or three touchdown lead there we figured out that he had a lot of yards. We were wondering where he was at. More so than yards we knew he had 8 touchdowns."
And with that 8th touchdown, Coursey now also holds the single game touchdown record for the Mustangs...In 2002 now City View head coach Rudy Hawkins was an assistant with the Quanah Indians. Hawkins saying he sees plenty of similarities in the two backs, "they're both really quick and could make people miss. Gus was a terror for us to get ready for. I worked on the defensive side of the ball at Quanah and you had to get a lot of people to the football because the first guy probably wasn't going to make the tackle. He was going to make the first guy miss, maybe miss the second guy miss and he could turn it up. When he got going north to south nobody was going to catch him. D.J. Is really similar to that and when he gets north to south he can take it to."
D.J. Says it's a huge honor to break Barnes record after it stood for over 11 years. But just like Barnes, during the game he had something else on his mind, "i was just focused on winning the game at the time."
You could liken Coursey's performance to a passing of the torch of sorts. But with Gus Barnes still an avid supporter of City View. You can bet he'll continue to cheer on this new generation of mustang running backs.

It's not as easy as it may look...but if you love what bands such as Led Zeppelin, The Creation and Sigur Ros have done in the past, the violin (or cello) bow can be a great trick to add to your repertoire!
