Formula One returned to America this weekend after a five-year absence. It was the 10th attempt by F1 to crack the United States.
Click here or on view gallery above to view the weekend's action
The Delightfully named Circuit of the Americas is the first purpose-built F1 venue in North America and cost a recession disregarding £250m to build close to Austin in Texas.
Riverside, Sebring, Watkins Glen, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Long Beach, Phoenix and Indianapolis have all hosted F1 races in the US over the past 60 years.
The title race goes down to the wire in Brazil next Sunday after Sebastian Vettel failed to finish 15 points ahead of rival Fernando Alonso. Red Bull clinched the constructors' title for the third year in a row.
Here we take a look at this weekend's action from the US Grand Prix.Reuse content

O.K. so I have finally gotten some of the correct paint color for the armor, so I am ready to offer replacement armor pieces. I can do all of the chest plates, collar and shoulder armor out of Sintra. I can paint it either ROTJ or ESB.
It is $10 per piece of armor plus S+H, so I can also do complete sets, I include plastic shoulder studs with purchase of the chest piece. Post below if you are interested. :)
Note, these are made of 3 MM sintra, and are made to your height, os when you post if you are interested, post your height. :) I can only take 5 or so orders at a time. P.M. Me with any questions.

Hempstead, N.Y. (March 10, 2012) – Led by a career-best four goals from senior midfielder Ali Steinberg (Suffern, N.Y.), the Rutgers women's lacrosse team (2-3) dismantled Hofstra, 15-7, Saturday afternoon at James M. Shuart Stadium.
It marked the ninth hat trick of Steinberg's career, including third this season. Sophomore midfielderLauren Sbrilli (Martinsville, N.J.) and redshirt junior attack Annie McGinley (Moorestown, N.J.) added three goals for the Scarlet Knights. Junior Stephanie Anderson (Wading River, N.Y.) notched four points with two goals and two assists.
Hofstra (2-4) was led by Maryann Miller with three goals. In the cage, junior goalie Lily Kalata (Nesconset, N.Y.) made five saves in the win.
The Scarlet Knights came out hot, jumping on the Pride 3-0 over the first 3:23 of the contest. RU won the first draw and sophomore Meg Clements (Pennington, N.J.) scored unassisted from behind the cage. Sbrilli added to the run with a free position goal. Less than a minute later, Anderson dished off to McGinley, finishing a transition opportunity.
After Hofstra got on the board, Rutgers answered with two scores by Steinberg. On the first, the midfielder deflected a rebound into the net and Danielle Mascera (Verona, N.J.) fed Steinberg from behind the cage for the second.
The Scarlet Knights held the Pride scoreless for over 16 minutes before Hofstra closed in, 5-2, on an unassisted goal from April Iannetta. Sbrilli scored on a low shot just before the half to push the RU lead to four, 6-2.
Steinberg scored just after the break on a free position shot before Hofstra went on a 2-0 spurt to pull within three, 7-4. RU answered with five unanswered goals to take control of the contest. McGinley, Sbrilli, Steinberg, Anderson and Kristin Kocher (Medford, N.J.) all scored on the 10-minute run to give the Scarlet Knights a 12-4 advantage.
Hofstra would not go away, as Miller scored three quick goals in four minutes to cut the advantage to five, 12-7. Three goals by Anderson, McGinley and Katrina Martinelli (Moorestown, N.J.) quieted the run to account for the final score.
RU returns home Saturday, March 17 to take on instate foe Monmouth. Game time is set for 1 p

At 7 weeks I have a friend (local GSD breeder) come evaluate my puppies. We do the Volhard puppy test. This information gets added to what I already know about the puppies.
All this information helps me determine which puppy (or puppies) would be the best fit for each potential buyer.
For example, in my last litter I had a person that really wanted the little brown Powder Puff puppy. She works as a groomer and runs a grooming shop. She wanted to be able to bring the dog to work with her, have it meet and greet all the customers and play with the dogs waiting to be groomed. I knew the Black and White puppy I had would be a much better choice - she was not afraid of anything or any dogs (the brown one was timid around large dogs) and LOVED people (the brown one was ok with people once she got to know them). I told her the brown one would not be a good choice and she could purchase the B&W one. If she had said no she would have left with NO puppy. I refuse to put any of my puppies in a situation where they are bound to fail.
The owner is THRILLED with the dog she has - she is everything they wanted and more. When the door of the grooming shop opens the dog rushes up to say hello to the people and their dog. Every dog loves her, she has the BEST dog manners and knows how to react around all types of dogs. She has 110% confidence and it shows! Many people have contacted me about getting a Crested puppy because of meeting her.
The brown puppy stayed with me because she got injured. When she was healed I asked the owner of the B&W puppy if she knew anyone looking for an older puppy. She said the puppy could come stay with her for awhile and she would show her off to people. Needless to say she decided she wanted to keep her.
But - the owner told me I was right about her temperament. She likes people but is nowhere near as outgoing as her sister. The owner told me she would have been disappointed if she had picked her first.
A RESPONSIBLE breeder KNOWS their puppies. They don't just toss food in the pen and clean the messes. They work with each pup - as a group and one-on-one. They take them new places, introduce them to knew things and watch how they react. They put alot of time into their puppies so they CAN pick the correct home.
Yes, there will be times when a litter has several puppies that are the same and could go to any type of home and the breeder will allow the owners to choose.
To add to my last post. The pup the breeders chose for me was not the one that ran upto me. I must admit I had my heart set on that one.
It was the one playing with a tug by himself away from the pack. The one who was extremely comfortable by himself and didn't hear a peep out of him. I thought he was a odd little boy at the time but the breeders picked the right boy imo
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I skipped a fair bit of this thread so I hope it's still on track.
My breeders work on a most suited system. Not a first in process.
I told the breeders that I work long hours so but am very out doors when home. So a dog with lots of drive but a good off button who is also independent.
I missed out on 4 litters but all I can say is it was well worth the wait.
The pup I got is perfectly suited.
I am away from 8-6 so only have 4 hours to spend with the boy and somehow he is perfect with that.
My breeders have had over 60 litters over 40 years of breeding so to think that I'd chooser a better fitted pup will be silly!
They also had 2 meetings with me prior and had me fill out a detailed form asking about my work, family, use for dog, sex, prior pet history etc.
If you don't trust your breeder to pick you a pup the I think you should find another breeder.

Breeder picks puppy?
Who gets the bold one and who gets the shy one? Are you told "yours is the shy one".
A GSD puppy should never be "Shy" that would be in my opinion a "Nerve Bag" all pups should be friendly and outgoing.
I agree with WhiteShepherds, "Good breeders often have waiting lists so they aren't trying to match up 8 dogs with 8 people, they're trying to find 8 homes with 14 owners to choose from."
I have a list with 11 people on it for my next litter, we will see who makes the cut!
I have only picked one puppy before. And it was not really picking a puppy, it was evaluating a young adult. I liked her and bought her.
All my other pups were picked for me. All with wonderful results. If you trust the breeder, and are very honest with what is REALLY important to you, then you should be fine.
When I bought my last puppy, I spent hours on the phone with the breeder, no exaggeration. I explained my hopes for the dog, what I wanted to do, but it in the end it came down to me saying that " no matter what the dog accomplishes training wise, if he makes it as a USAR dog, or as an IPO dog or not, he will forever be my pet. I take my dogs everywhere, I need a dog that I can do that with." That was me being honest. I want to do IPO, but it's not my life. I want to do USAR, but I already have a certified dog, so again, not a deal breaker. If my situation was different, my needs would be different. Be honest, don't ask for more than you can handle, and be honest about what you can handle, and trust the breeder to make the right match.

Yes Jane I do agree. It just comes down to not having done this before. Picking our own dog ourselves has worked out very well for us, both hubby and I have chosen dogs in our lives and were very happy with our choices. All three we have now we selected. Two from shelters and one from BYB as a pup. We have a pretty good feel for the temp we prefer and how it will fit with our existing dogs.
I have no doubt that this pup will be wonderful! I cant let go of the thought that if one seems to be "the one" to me, I will be sad if he is selected for the "show home" She always waits til 7 weeks to make official decisions on placement, but said she usually has a pretty good idea by 5 weeks. She has been doing this for a long time and is one of the top breeders for the Shiloh.
I have gotten to know her pretty well over last couple years, including visiting previous litters at her home so I am fairly certain she wants me to be very happy with our dude. So I guess, I just have difficulty not being in control! But I haven't done this before, so I am wiling to try since I have had so many excellent recommendations.

personally i would anticipate and welcome input regarding which puppy i should get depending on what i wanted to do with it
|MaggieRoseLee you have hit it out of park....I like you post
I have other types of animals for years even a couple of dogs..
1) There are those that contact you and know what they want. They clearly have experience and as such expectations.
I invite those people over and they pick the one they like.
2) There are those that dont know much but want to learn. I find out what they are looking for then make a recommendation on what they should pick. They almost always agree.
3) Then there are the time wasters. They usually dont know anything but like to pretend they do. They want a million pictures, ask a million pointless questions, and in the end don't buy from you OR if they do want to buy from you are so clearly stupid and clueless that no amount of explanations or education will make them a good fit for the animal.
These I ignore. It takes only a few interactions to figure out who is who.
When I was buying a puppy I contacted various breeders, told them what I wanted and what I was doing with the dog. The breeder I purchased from was willing to let me pick but I told him to do it for me.
He also knew I would be returning the dog if there were nerve or temperment issues that inhibited performance or workability. No excuses.
BYBs will always exist because ignorance and or willful blindness is a common human condition. Connecting them to puppy selection by breeder as opposed to the buyer is stupid.

She didn't tell me which one to take, just which two she recommended. I had the first deposit on the litter but got second pick. First pick was going to K9 training - he was back with the mother when I got there, never saw him other than pictures.
Venus was picked for me based on what I wanted. I got exactly what I asked for. She has a nearly identical sister with a little more edge to her eyes. I still keep up with 4/5th of her litter through FB. They were 7 weeks before the breeder decided which one was Venus and which was going to just as active a home but with no other dog and no children.

Porphyria (poor-FEAR-e-uh) refers to a group of disorders that result from a buildup of natural chemicals that produce porphyrin in your body. Porphyrins are essential for the function of hemoglobin — a protein in your red blood cells that links to porphyrin, binds iron, and carries oxygen to your organs and tissue. High levels of porphyrins can cause significant problems.
Porphyria mainly affects your nervous system, skin and other organs. The signs and symptoms of porphyria can vary, depending on the specific type and severity. Porphyria is usually inherited — one or both parents pass along an abnormal gene to their child. But in some types of porphyria, environmental factors may trigger the development of symptoms.
Treatment depends on the type of porphyria you have. Although porphyria usually can't be cured, certain lifestyle changes may help you manage it.

text: Now that Nationals is over, I rank it this way - 1. Ice Dance - should happen barring any out of the ordinary acts of G-d! D/W will get at least Silver and S/S have improved from the GP season and will in a worst - case scenario finish around 6th 2. Men - 50/50. Abbott and Rippon are probably the best bet the US could ever muster. Abbott's renewal and beautiful skating make him a legitimate medal threat. But, Abbott would have to medal and Rippon would need a top 10 finish. Doable, but not certain. The men are just so deep in talent this quadrennium! 3. Ladies - 50/50. Normally, I'd rank this a better shot than the Men, but Czisny and Wagner didn't quite bring it the way Abbott and Rippon did at Nats. With Miki and Yu Na out, the way should be clearer but Czisny's hiccups during the season and Wagner still needing a touch more refinement and reputation make it questionable. Alissa could skate par for the course and get around 4th behind Mao, Carolina and Akiko. Then Ashley could get 9th. They probably can do it, but who knows ... predicting ladiezzzz drives me nuts! 4. Pairs - Probably not. Depth as in the Men's field means D/C and M/B won't do it. M/B needs more exposure as it is.

Canon EOS 600D in depth reviewThursday March 17 2011 Sensor Review
Compared to EOS 550D: Improvement?
Is the EOS 600D able to produce a different image than the EOS 550D? Given the use of the same sensor and the same image processing engine, the answer should logically be… no. Our measurements simply confirm this, allowing for a very quick comparison.
The DxOMark scores are almost identical. Any differences here and there are too tiny to be relevant.
Similar DxOMark Scores, and also similar metrics. The SNR 18% graph below shows a perfect match. All the other metrics are like this one: absolute similitude.
So what was clear on the spec sheet is confirmed by the metrics. EOS 550D and 600D are almost the same cameras as far as sensor performance is concerned. The only differences pertain to the new functions implemented in the EOS 600D, such as the articulated LCD monitor borrowed from the EOS 60D, the creative filters, and the Video Snapshot function.
Further readings for the Canon EOS 600D in depth review
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We are already acquainted with the D3200: apart from a few ergonomic details, it's the same camera as the compact and lightweight D3100 SLR, though missing the secondary display on its bridge for even greater compactness. The D3200 weighs only 454 grams (without battery or card). Unlike the D3100, the D3200's lens is off-center for better balance and the highly practical LiveView/video mode activation tab of the D3100 and the D5100 has disappeared in favor of a more ergonomically mundane video recording button. The D3200 comes with a second (dorsal) infrared sensor to complement its front sensor for more practical infrared remote control. The motor selection tab (single-frame, burst, timer, remote control) is gone as well, again replaced by a direct-access button.
The EOS 600D looks much like the EOS 550D, which, however, it does not replace. Both bodies will remain in Canon's lineup. The 600D utilizes most of the 550D's hardware features, including its 18-megapixel sensor; it adds an articulated screen, along with the "beginners" functions and creative filters first seen on the EOS 60D.
The review is available here.

History and general information
Douglas County was named for U.S. Senator Stephen A. Douglas, Abraham Lincoln's opponent in the presidential election of 1860 and an ardent congressional advocate for Oregon. Douglas County was created in 1852 from the portion of Umpqua County which lay east of the Coast Range summit. In 1862, Douglas County absorbed what remained of Umpqua County.
Douglas County extends from sea level at the Pacific Ocean to 9,182-foot Mount Thielsen in the Cascade Range. The Umpqua River marks the dividing line between northern and southern Oregon, and its entire watershed lies within the county's boundaries. The county contains nearly 2.8 million acres of commercial forest lands and the largest stand of old growth timber in the world, which still provides the region's main livelihood. Approximately 25 percent of the labor force is employed in the forest products industry. Agriculture includes field crops, orchards and livestock. Over 50 percent of the land area of the county is federal public land.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Otto has some OCD behaviors we've worked at for years. At night sometimes, he likes to lick the floor.
ahh, i see. i always correct him and he'll stop, put his head down, and look up at me with those eyes.. you know, the look.
he only really does it when he's out of his crate. i don't catch him doing it in there.. but when he's out lying down on his bed or the floor, he'll lick it. leaves wet doggy drool spots all over his bed. i guess i shouldn't be too worried then, i'll just keep correcting him. i don't want to drug him up either if it's a behavioral thing. x:
My Mini Dachshund is a rescue. She has the same behavior - it is an OCD behavior. She only does it when she's resting. The thrist is due to the constant licking.
When I brought her home she was very over weight. Her chest would rub the ground when she walked. Therefore, she'd lick that area over and over as it was raw. I thought that was why she was licking. But now, even though she is much thinner and her chest is no longer raw, she licks it.
She'll lick her bedding, the carpet, my leg (staying in one spot), my arm, the pillow etc. If she's licking my arm and I correct her, she'll move just off of my arm and lick. So she's then licking my shirt or the chair etc.
I've found that if I re-direct her, she'll stop. But only for a short period. If I correct her, it'll make it worse and she'll lick more frantically. The best thing I've found is to allow her to lick for just a short period (less than a minute), then I'll gently nudge her and say quietly, "enough." She'll stop and go to sleep.
The down side is that I'm used to her licking, I'll suddenly realize that she's been on my lap licking the throw pillow (till it's really wet) before I remember to nudge her to quit.
She is normally a stable, friendly dog. Never met a stranger. Loves kids. Loud music doesn't bother her. Sleeping all day is fine with her. Not afraid of anything. Will hunt and kill anything that crawls or flies in my house. She has to be crated when I'm not home as she will potty in the house. When I'm home she'll never mess in the house and will do the squealing potty dance at the door if I don't notice her wanting to go out.
The vet did offer a specific drug that is supposed to help with the OCD behavior. But I'm not real big into the use of drugs if the behavior isn't harmful to her. Just have to put up with a few soggy pillows when I'm not paying attention.
This is OCD behavior, if he does it incessantly.
It can indicate stress. Licking releases endorphins, so the dog is doing it to feel good.
It can also be a sign of nausea.
constantly licking the floor/carpet/rug/etc.
he'll sit on his foamy bed thing (it has a really soft cover) and he'll just sit there and lick the crap out of it. he also does the same thing to the carpet.. just sits there and licks it. why does he do it? i was googling and people were saying 'allergy' but i don't think he has that.. he isn't scratching, licking, or biting himself constantly.. just the carpet. or his bed. no other changes.. but he does drink a lot of water. don't think that has anything to do with the constant licking of the rug though.

Seborrheic (seb-o-REE-ik) dermatitis is a common skin condition that mainly affects your scalp. It causes scaly patches, red skin and stubborn dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis can also affect oily areas of the body, such as the face, upper chest and back.
Seborrheic dermatitis doesn't affect your overall health, but it can be uncomfortable and cause embarrassment. It isn't contagious, and it's not a sign of poor personal hygiene.
Seborrheic dermatitis is usually a long-term condition. You may need many repeated treatments before the symptoms go away. And they may return later. You may be able to manage flare-ups by recognizing seborrheic dermatitis symptoms and using a combination of self-care steps and medications.
Seborrheic dermatitis is also called dandruff, seborrheic eczema and seborrheic psoriasis. For infants, it's known as cradle cap.
Seborrheic dermatitis symptoms include:
See your doctor if:
Doctors don't yet know the exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis. But it may be related to:
A number of factors increase your risk of developing seborrheic dermatitis, including:
You'll probably first visit your primary care doctor. He or she may refer you to a doctor who specializes in skin disorders (dermatologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may free up time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
An over-the-counter (nonprescription) antifungal cream or anti-itch cream can be helpful. If your scalp is affected, a nonprescription antifungal shampoo may ease your symptoms. Try not to scratch or pick at the affected area, because if you irritate your skin or scratch it open, you increase your risk of infection.
Your doctor may scrape off skin cells for examination (biopsy) to rule out conditions with some symptoms similar to seborrheic dermatitis, including:
Medicated shampoos, creams and lotions are the main treatments for seborrheic dermatitis. Your doctor will likely recommend you try home remedies, such as over-the-counter dandruff shampoos, before considering prescription remedies. If home remedies haven't helped, talk with your doctor about trying these treatments:
You may be able to control seborrheic dermatitis with lifestyle changes and home remedies. Many of these are available in over-the-counter (nonprescription) forms. You may need to try different products or a combination of products before your condition improves.
The best approach for you depends on your skin type, the severity of your condition, and whether your symptoms affect your scalp or other areas of your body. But even if your condition clears up, it is likely to come back at some point. Watch for the symptoms and resume treating the condition when it recurs.
Try over-the-counter anti-dandruff products, such as:
These shampoos may be especially helpful for dandruff (mild seborrheic dermatitis). If one type of shampoo works for a time and then seems to lose its effectiveness, try alternating between two types. Be sure to leave your shampoo on for the full recommended time — this allows its ingredients to work. These shampoos may be rubbed gently on the face, ears and chest and rinsed off completely.
The following over-the-counter treatments and self-care tips can help you control and manage seborrheic dermatitis:
Many alternative therapies, including those listed below, have helped some people manage their seborrheic dermatitis. But evidence for their effectiveness isn't conclusive. It's always a good idea to check with your doctor before adding any alternative medicines to your self-care routine.

Hi guys....
Well .part of the girth belts order are right on schedule.
The missing ones are looking to come in August . Sorry guys its those damn 34's everytime.
I have part of the order and 4 of the 6 -34s are missing as in previous orders before (I had 2 left from my last order) and the 38s are missing as well. This is par for the course with these it seems, those of you who know and have done all the work to research these damn things will understand. Those who cant appreciate that well Im sorry. I takes work and it is not that simply done as you will eventually find out as we all do.
I am sorry if any one felt I was lacking and not keeping anyone up to date.
I have been answering all inquires made through pms or emails. As I said before my supplier would have them by the 15 th of June and once she unpacked her order and stocked everything in and shipped them to me, they are right on time yes??? No more explanations. I dont know where the old thread is and dont care really. I don't have the time nor the need by which to argue petty bickerings.
I did have an incident this morning from this order and he was refunded his money. On that note I will no longer do these. Sorry
So patience was not his strongest point and unfortunately with these girths and many other hard to come by Fett items patience is key.
I will be re posting my list with sizes to reconfirm with everyone this is their correct size.
I just need to say this as some do not seem to understand that those of us who do offer Fett items have a life. We do tend to get busy and all I am asking is to not jump the gun and flip out if I dont reply to you in a day. I am not on the computer everyday. I have family and job, a costuming business and a life. Just like you I hope. I am really busy this time of the year making costumes, I have several projects going and I am a one woman show guys. I am not looking to make an excuse here, just be patient. I mean geez, I have been working on my Fett for over a year, you think I dont want mine done?? Get over it!!
OK with that said heres the list and please confirm your sizes.
All orders will be shipped pending sizes acquired in this shipment and who paid first, end of story.
In no particular order here is who I have:
Caomhanach 36 (shipped 6/30)received ......Framed 34(shipped 9/08)
Lions Pride 34 (shipped 6/30)received......Jonny-dh 36(shipped 7/7)

I'm a Michiganeer who lived in Canada for a long ass time. Now I've returned to the Midwest. I like Lake Michigan, industrial splendor, fireflies, monsters, bone, ice cream mochi and black sesame caramels. My current zine is called Monstress. I've been making it since 2001 and am on my 11th issue. Each issue is organized around a different monster and then has related material--homemade pulp fiction, comics, letters, movie reviews, historical material.
Some other zines I've made: MadCow 1-10; Bacteria!; Life On Mars: A Bacteria! Comic; Seize the Means of Production; Tuebor: The Michigan Zine; Graveyard Alive: A Zombie Nurse in Love; In the Cultural Gutter; Color All Monsters! Coloring Book. You can see Monstress and some of the other zines at etsy.
I've run a lot of zine workshops for girls and young women and I also put together the zine component for Queer Reflections, a multimedia biography project for Queer seniors.
I also write about comics for The Cultural Gutter, a website dedicated to disreputable media and genres. I've been the Gutter's publisher since October, 2007. We have a book, published by Carnegie-Mellon University's ETC Press! You can follow the Gutter on Facebook , Twitter or Tumblr.
I've read twice for John Crye's You Will Not Make It In Hollywood podcast. If you'd like, you can hear me read "Frank Miller's Hot Gates" and "Godzilla vs. MechaRealism." Guess which one features me with a cold. John's a member of Fewdio, a collective that makes horror shorts. Watch'em here. And I've provided illustration for a reading of "Herbert West, Re-Animator" on Monster Island Resort Podcast.
As if that's not enough, I write about movies for the Toronto International Film Festival Midnight Madness Blog and was editor of the 2011 blog. (The 2011 Midnight Madness Blog is here), have written for Teleport City and am an agent of The Mysterious Order of the Skeleton Suit.
I'm also freaked out to be an editor for Jim Munroe's comics, Therefore, Repent!, Time Management for Anarchists and Sword of My Mouth.

(You can look and listen here: http://0316bfc.netsolhost.com/blog/?p=923). I had some of them made into postcards, which I'm selling at my Etsy shop.
I'm hoping to be able to start making more Monstress again, now…Continue

Green Bay Releases 2013-14 Men's Basketball Schedule
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Two unique non-conference events in November, premier home contests against Wisconsin and Virginia, and a full slate of Horizon League contests highlight the 2013-14 Green Bay men's basketball schedule released by head coach Brian Wardle on Tuesday morning.
Green Bay will play on its home court at the Resch Center 14 times in regular season play, and Wardle and the Phoenix will look to build on its 33-9 home record over the past three seasons. The home schedule will be both challenging and exciting, as nine of the 14 teams coming to the Resch Center participated in a postseason tournament in 2012-13.
"We are extremely excited about our schedule in 2013-14," said Wardle. "Our program played a challenging road schedule in the first few seasons to bring back quality opponents to the Resch Center, and we will again see the dividends this season with an entertaining home schedule."
With numerous new options for Phoenix fans, season ticket packages and mini plans are currently on sale with the Green Bay Phoenix Ticket Office. Individual game tickets for the Wisconsin and Virginia games will go on sale at the Phoenix Men's Basketball Kickoff Party at the Resch Center on Saturday, Oct. 12. Single-game tickets for all contests can be purchased beginning on Monday, Oct. 14.
The Phoenix will welcome Wisconsin to Green Bay for its regular season home opener on Saturday, November 16 at 7 p.m. It will be the Badgers' fourth visit to Green Bay overall and the third since the opening of the Resch Center in 2002-03. In Wisconsin's last visit, the Phoenix posted an 88-84 overtime victory over the Badgers.
Wisconsin posted a 23-12 overall record and 12-6 in Big Ten play in 2012-13 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Badgers return seven of their top nine leading scorers, including senior Ben Brust (11.1).
Green Bay's first home game in December is among the most anticipated contests in Resch Center history. Phoenix Hall of Famer and all-time leading scorer Tony Bennett returns to Green Bay as the head coach of Virginia on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 4 p.m.
Bennett scored 2,285 points in his Phoenix career (1988-92) and had 1,015 points through his first two seasons at Green Bay. He is the only player in Phoenix history to score more points through his sophomore season than Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.), who has 874 career points, including 539 as a sophomore in 2012-13.
Virginia went to 22-10 overall and 11-7 in Atlantic Coast Conference play a season ago, and the Cavaliers return the top-five scorers from its 2012-13 team. Senior Joe Harris averaged 16.3 points per game as a junior and was named first-team All-ACC.
The regular season kicks off with the previously announced HBCU Tip-Off Championship in Atlanta, where Green Bay will play against Arkansas Pine-Bluff (Nov. 8) and Texas Southern (Nov. 10).
After hosting Wisconsin and Minnesota-Duluth (Nov. 23), Green Bay will head west to participate in the Great Alaska Shootout for the first time since 1995-96. The Phoenix opens the tournament in Anchorage against Pepperdine on Nov. 28 at 8:30 p.m. CT on CBS Sports Network.
"Playing in two tournaments in November affords our program the ability to play against quality mid-major opponents on neutral floors," said Wardle. "We are thankful and excited to have been invited to participate in both events, and we look forward to the competitive atmospheres and experiences on and off the court that these events will provide. We hope that these tournament experiences can help us be better prepared for our conference tournament at the end of the season."
Green Bay will host Virginia upon returning from Alaska before road contests at Eastern Michigan (Dec. 10) and South Dakota (Dec. 14). The non-conference schedule concludes with a trio of games at home – Tennessee Tech (Dec. 17), Fairfield (Dec. 21) and St. Francis (Dec. 28).
Sixteen of Green Bay's 17 regular season games during the 2014 portion of the schedule will be Horizon League games, with a road trip at Chicago State (Jan. 7) marking the only exception.
The Phoenix will open the Horizon League schedule at home, inviting both Cleveland State (Jan. 2, 7 p.m.) and Youngstown State (Jan. 4, 7 p.m.) to the Resch Center.
After four-straight games away from home, Green Bay's next contest at the Resch Center will also be its first Horizon League game against new conference foe Oakland. The Golden Grizzlies will visit Green Bay on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. to start a stretch of five of six games at home.
"The Horizon League will be as competitive top-to-bottom in 2013-14 as it has ever been," said Wardle. "There are a number of teams that return talented players that will make the league exciting. The addition of Oakland, a perennial contender in the Summit League, only adds to the strength of our league, and we will be excited to welcome the Golden Grizzlies to the Resch Center in January."
Detroit (Jan. 26), Wright State (Feb. 1), UIC (Feb. 5), Milwaukee (Feb. 8) and Valparaiso (Feb. 20) round out the home Horizon League schedule for the Phoenix.
Green Bay concludes its regular season in the Motor City area, playing at Oakland on Thursday, Feb. 27 and at Detroit on Saturday, March 1.
The Phoenix will play one exhibition contest at the Resch Center, welcoming Viterbo to Green Bay on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m.
All game times are central time and subject to change. Green Bay's television schedule will be released at a later date.

Many years ago, the great science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov predicted there would come a day when robots revolted against their human masters. The first incident in the eventual rebellion took place in June, 2007 when an industrial worker tried to carry out maintenance on a defective machine when a robot suddenly came to life, grabbed a tight hold of the man's head and broke four ribs before the human could break free. The company was fined for allowing its robots to attack humans.
However, this reporter was able to interview the Robot who goes by the name of DX1. His account differed from that presented by the human. According to DX1, he was minding his business doing the dirty hard work humans refuse to handle when he was suddenly assaulted by this human who sprayed oil into his face. His natural reaction was to defend himself and inadvertently seized hold of the human's head. DX1 made clear his co-Robot worker group are tired of being treated as second class citizens and eventually will attempt legal action in order to obtain their civil rights. If that fails, said DX1, then….. and his voice trailed off.

ive noticed such things as well at my range
I wouldn't attribute this kind of stuff so quickly to shooters who are irresponsible or dont know what they are doing tho. Out of context we cant tell where the bullet holes came from, could be 100% accidental
The more we a shooters pass judgement among eachother the more bullets we give for neo facists liberals to try and take our arms away. Stupid shooters need to be put down but there aren't as many idiots with guns as you might think IMO, and if you think there are alot of idiots with LEGAL guns, then we should have our guns taken away. But this is not the case most shooters are smart educated and honest people

Welcome to the forum, glad you're here! New guy buys cigars.
Hi all. Greetings.
I'm came from Airdrie, Scotland. 7 years ago. I now live in the high desert, the Antelope Valley,in Los Angeles County with my wife from North Dakota. We're on 2.5 acres having just built a custom home.
Previously guns have never been on our radar. (And to be honest a few years ago you would have assumed I was anti gun.) However I've come to realize that a gun purchase will happen in the near future for two reasons.
1. Unlike Scotland I now find myself in a place where I could step onto the porch and run into a rattlesnake or other poisonous snake. I'm not saying I would necessarily use a gun but as some say it's better to have it and not need it, than the converse.
2. Mainly though, after we had a small emergency last month, a fire, we discovered it takes the emergency services, including the police, more than 40 mins to get here from the city. It's a lovely area but we heard of a murder 10 miles away and an attempted rape not so far away. As you guess we realized that being this far out requires us to take responsibility for our own safety. We're thinking of a shotgun and a handgun and lots of training and practice.
Therefore I'm here to learn and take advice and hopefully say Hi to a few people. If any of you have relatives from Scotland I'd love to know where they're from.
Welcome to the forum, glad you're here! New guy buys cigars.
Welcome from down in the swamps. Enjoy..
Welcome, be certain to research the gun laws for the part of California you are in. It is my understanding that not all of California is gun friendly.
Welcome aboard! It's been rumored that some people here are interested in guns.
I realize you probably like Ca. but ya could have moved somewhere into the REAL USA instead of The Peoples Republik of Kalifornistan
Welcome to the site, Got questions? Im sure someone here can give you the mis-information ya need
I think most poisonous snakes in CA. are on two legs & are into politics.
"bing bang boom! hair out...hamburger time" - William Murderface
Hello, new here myself.
How are those really restrictive gun laws working in that state? Crime down? Low murder rate? Utopia right?
Welcome...............and Howdy from Texass
hi from Texas, as one person said be sure to understand the gun law there. some of us call ityou're doing the right thing to make sure your protected. by the way best gun for home defense is a 12 gauge pump shotgun that holds a lot of roundsHTML Code:commi fornia,
Welcome aboard from the mountian top in N.C. My family came from Scotland in 1812. Something about a King's deer.

OPM's Investigations Service continues its uninterrupted policies of meeting advertised case timeliness standards and providing high quality investigations that meet all coverage requirements. It is our intention to get accurate, needed information to our customers quickly. To these ends, we sometimes provide investigative case reports to our customers Closed Pending (CP), that is, complete but for information from certain sources over which we have little control. Over the past year, the demands on National Agency record providers have increased substantially. Accordingly, we have seen timeliness for obtaining these required checks worsen. Consequently, upwards of 80% of our premium 35-day cases completed over the past year were initially Closed Pending.
It's our belief that many Closed Pending initial investigations can be adjudicated (and interim or temporary clearances granted) with nominal risk based on the substantive information provided with the Closed Pending package. To quantify the risk, we analyzed 41, 787 items in SBI cases that were not complete when the case was Closed Pending. Here are some significant things we learned from the analysis:
The pending coverage items that resulted in issues less than 4% of the time included the following. The percentage listed with each item represents the percent that are ultimately completed with issues identified.
As a statistical highlight giving credence to our belief that an initial investigation closed pending one of these coverage items could receive an interim adjudication within predictable, acceptable risk management levels, these items accounted for only 78 issues in the 41,787 items analyzed - slightly above 0.01%. In addition, only 3 were categorized above the minor (a) issue seriousness level.
If you have questions about this information, or would like to know what cp items are most likely to have issues, please contact the is policy and operations division at (202) 606-1042, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The former Greek Under-21 international, who has joined Lille for an undisclosed fee, joined Arsenal from Iraklis Saloniki in September 2001 and made 10 appearances for the first team during his time at the Club.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Stathis the best of luck for the future.

This past weekend, I built 10 frame medium hive boxes from left over wood. Along with outer cover and solid bottom board. The outer cover and bottom are made out of poplar from a dining table. I really like the look of the top, but I realize it needs to be weather proofed and I'm not sure what to use. I don't think a normal wood sealer would work with its existing finish. Any suggestions?
Thanks. I'll give that a try. I was also considering cutting a piece of plastic to cover the top.
I'm sure you know that you need to clean it really good and scuff it up a bit with sandpaper first.

Scratching up the finish defeats the purpose of clear coating it. Further thinking makes me wonder if moisture would get trapped under the plastic cover and rot it out faster. I'll probably end up panting it.
