BEFORE & AFTER: Mother-Daughter Dining Room Makeovers
Artist Shanan Campanaro started her pattern-centric design studio, Eskayel, in 2008, and it's since grown to include fabrics, pillows, wallpapers, and more, as well as a fervent fan base.
We visited Campanaro in her Brooklyn home to see how she transformed a simple white space into a whimsical and bold space perfect for cheerful dining.
The first step involves bringing in a rug, the Akimbo by Eskayel (seen in the next slide), to add a subtle touch of color, and make the hardwood floor seem less vast.
This article originally appeared on ELLEDECOR.com
Campanaro started the process by taking something she already owned—an impressive collection of books—and organizing them by color. "Organized this way, they act like an intentional part of the design of the room," she explains.

Hello. I voted Springfield Armory because the last several examples I've seen and shot have had very, very good slide-to-frame and slide-to-barrel fit.
I'm speaking specifically of the Mil Spec and what was once called the GI Mil Spec.
I voted for the SA pistol for a couple of other reasons as well:
1. They seem to be in the price range that many can afford, and
2. They offer a "basic no frills" pistol that can be used as is for many and is still a good "base gun" for folks who might want to customize the gun a little or a lot or in between.
(A third reason for myself is that it doesn't have those darned forward slide serrations.)
At this moment, my standard Mil Spec has roughly 3600 rounds through it and the gun has yet to malfunction. Normally, it was cleaned after every range session whether 100 or 300 rounds were fired. I did shoot it w/o internal cleaning for 700 shots before I couldn't stand it any longer and cleaned it.
My particular SA Mil Spec was not altered much on the outside, but its internal parts were replaced and were tweaked by triggersmith, Teddy Jacobson. The trigger settled in at about 4 1/4 lbs and has remained constant.
As the sights were "on" from the factory, I have no intention of changing them.
The spur hammer used by Mr. Jacobson was bobbed and reshaped to eliminate hammer bite and I dressed down the sharp edges of the GI grip safety. For me, it is not as comfortable as a wide, fitted grip safety, but it is fine for a couple of hundred rounds at a time. Others might have no problem at all with more shots per session.
As it came from the factory, this Mil Spec grouped quite satisfactorily for me.
Perhaps the changing of the grips is the most visible change on this Mil Spec. This one has never malfunctioned and accuracy has proven better than expected. The only other SA 1911-type handgun I own is a lightweight 5" gun I got several years ago. The one pictures is fitted better from the factory than my older gun and does group better.
Not "Camp Perry accurate" to be sure, this is plenty good for my purposes.
Were I going to spend more at the get-go, I've had awfully good luck with STI's Trojan pistols.

So far I've used the rack to haul ladders and then some 2 x 4 lumber. It worked just like the ad said. I'm pleased that I do not have to install a permanent headache rack on this truck.

Buying a fixer upper home with property with no other homes built around it for a ways and getting it for a good deal.
Pulling up the carpet and finding awesome old wood flooring, and figuring out that some of the problems you were sweating, really turned out to be not that big of deal.
The guy I got painting my jeep is finally done.
A few days back , walking your awesome new property you find a tent, shitty old camper, and a bunch of trash / scrap metal with people apparently living in these shitty things with no power or running water. They start on a neighboring lot, and go about 500' or more into your property and they are hiding all their shit behind the trees on your property so they are not saw from the road. However after meeting them and having a "nice" talk, while the whole time you are trying to figure these people out and what they are doing there, but they agree to move the shit off your land within a week but I will need surveyed to be sure exactly where my property line is.
You talk to the land owner and find out they are 100% squatters and hes working to fix the problem but hasn't yet and had no clue they were there until I contacted him.
when I get my jeep back the paint will be fresh so I cant wheel it for like 3-4 weeks after I pick it up, been without it for 2 months now.

A few weeks ago, the four largest Dutch banks revealed that the number of app users had doubled again in the past year. Dutch mobile phone users are checking their current balance twice as often via their phone as they do via their PC. Unsurprisingly, activity peaks around payday. Given that mobile can be seen as the most important development in financial services in recent years, it is time to get your mobile act together. Digital teams at financial services firms should think seriously about adding relevant mobile touchpoints to their distribution channels. What does this mean for specific sectors of the financial services industry?
Mobile is crucial for retail banking. As my Forrester colleagues Peter Wannemacher and Tiffani Montez show, mobile banking is not just a business opportunity — mobile banking is an imperative. As we can see from our Dutch news story, mobile banking is now growing rapidly in some countries and will displace online banking for everyday tasks like checking account balances, viewing transaction histories, making transfers, and paying bills. Great design is key, however: One nice example is the mobile app from Dutch banking challenger KNAB, in which inter active design and functionality deliver convenience and simplicity:

A season that started with a significant number of preseason question marks has turned into something rather unexpected: what might be the deepest team in the ten-season Roy Williams era at Carolina.
This season was supposed to be about rebuilding, about replacing the four first round draft picks lost to the NBA and finding a way to speed the transition of a four-man freshman class. As Carolina prepares for tonight's visit from Wake Forest that will complete the first half of the 18-game ACC schedule, there are ten Tar Heels averaging at least 11 minutes per game. That figure doesn't include Jackson Simmons, who is averaging 14 minutes per game since breaking through in the Florida State game.
The current distribution of playing time is unlike any other team in the Williams era. The loaded 2007 squad had 10 players who averaged at least 10 minutes, but only eight who played as many as 11 minutes per game. The 2010 squad, which probably bears more resemblance to this one in terms of pure talent level, had 11 players who averaged at least 10 minutes per game (although Ed Davis missed the final 14 games with an injury), but only eight who played at least 11 minutes per game.
Under Williams, Carolina has been built around at least one player--and sometimes more--who can get a basket virtually anytime they want. First, it was Rashad McCants, Sean May and Raymond Felton. Then it was four years of Tyler Hansbrough. More recently, it's been Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes.
This year's team doesn't yet have that dominant scorer. It's most likely to be either James Michael McAdoo or Reggie Bullock, but on any given night it could also be P.J. Hairston, Dexter Strickland or (as against Virginia Tech) Marcus Paige. Eight different Tar Heels have already had multiple double-digit scoring efforts this year...but no one has done it in every game this year.
Fans tend to think of a "deep" team as one with loads of talent. The 1994 team, for example, that brought Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace off the bench (it's true!)--now that's a deep team. NBA lottery pick Marvin Williams never started a game for the 2005 national champions.
That's not necessarily the case this year, as the 2013 depth is a case of players who excel in certain areas--Brice Johnson is a scorer, Desmond Hubert is a defender, Jackson Simmons is a screener. That puts the challenge on Williams to deploy them appropriately and for the players involved to accentuate their strengths.
At a time when some teams are starting to narrow their rotations, the Carolina bench is expanding. Leslie McDonald came back from a six-day absence on Saturday and promptly played 25 minutes, struggling with his shot but playing solid defense on the nation's leading scorer, Erick Green. In fact, McDonald was part of a five-man group that played the entire final 6:03 of regulation against Virginia Tech. That quintet included McAdoo, Simmons, Paige and Bullock, and probably wouldn't have been anyone's preseason guess for the team the Tar Heels would put on the floor in the final minutes of a tight ACC game.
Part of the flexibility is due to necessity, unfortunately. The Tar Heels have again dealt with injuries this year, and haven't played with their full rotation since the ACC opener at Virginia on Jan. 6. Carolina has played 40 games since Dexter Strickland went down with a torn ACL at Virginia Tech last Jan. 19. Members of the regular rotation have missed a combined 51 games during that 40-game stretch.
That's likely to increase tonight. "I really don't see how P.J. can play," Roy Williams said Monday night on his radio show. Hairston is making progress in his recovery from a concussion but now is battling flu-like symptoms that sent him to the hospital on Monday. The news was better on James Michael McAdoo (back) and Desmond Hubert (illness). "James Michael was able to practice about half of practice (Monday)," Williams said. "Unless it flares up, I expect him to play...Desmond didn't feel great...but again, I would expect him to play."
That type of attrition has opened the door for the emergence of Simmons, who might be the most unlikely midseason success story in the past decade. Prior to the win at Florida State, Simmons had three DNPs in the previous four games. Now, suddenly, he's a player who is important enough to be on the floor-showing some savvy by safely playing with four fouls for the entire time-for 8:23 of the game's final 11:23 against the Hokies.
Wes Miller has been mentioned as a possible parallel for Simmons, but Miller was already playing nearly 20 minutes per game when he was inserted into the starting lineup at Florida State during the 2005-06 campaign.
As Williams is fond of saying, it's the players who decide who plays meaningful minutes. Simmons has illustrated it perfectly: he received one opportunity, made himself essential, and hasn't been out of the rotation since.
"He's a guy that for the most part understands his limitations and plays to his strengths and stays away from his weaknesses," Williams said Monday night. "That is a very, very bright basketball player.
"In the preseason, I told him he should never fail to box out, because he can control that. He should never fail to stand in and take a charge or dive on the floor for a loose ball. Jackson is doing some nice things. There are going to be some games where there's a spot for him and there will be other games that because of the kind of game it is, there may not be as big a spot for him."
Given the way the Tar Heel rotation has gone so far, even if Simmons doesn't have as big a role in a certain game, there will be someone else on the bench eager to fill his spot.
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

I am a solo practitioner, living in the hinterlands of San Diego County, California. I am of the 'Beat' generation.
My introduction to Buddhism was through Goddard's 1938 edition of A Buddhist Bible. Watts and Keruoac introduced me to Zen. Although I have meditated on and off, in various manners, since 1955 I did not become a practicing Buddhist until 2001.
Because I have an affinity for Japanese art and architecture I have been called to Zen practice. In my travels I have managed to visit several Japanese shrines and temples, including the Great Buddha at Kamakura and Kinkakuji in Kyoto.
My primary spiritual training was in Christian Science and I was qualified as a 'practitioner'. I have also studied Vedanta and Yogananda's SRF.
It was my good fortune to meet Thich Nhat Hahn on his first visit to the US, in 1973 before he was established in the west.
I am by profession an architect. My interests include auto racing, mountaineering, Alcoholics Anonymous and reading. I have two sons and a daughter. My daughter is also an architect, as well as an artist. Her performance art works have a standing invitation to exhibit at the New York Museum of Modern Art.
As is common for Americans my genetic pool includes Welsh, Irish, French and German sources. When I mentioned this to a Swedish girlfriend I had (while living in Greenwich Village in the 50's) she was shocked to realize she had a 'half-breed' boyfriend.

If you look closely, you can find fossilized material on the banks of the Norris Lake shoreline in Anderson County, Tennessee when the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) lowers the water level. If you are really lucky, you will find traces of sea creatures or beautiful flora or fauna impressions encased between the freshly exposed layers of rock. These are ancient treasures from our country's rich geological history.
A paleogeography reconstruction of the Earth took place some 56 to 34 million years ago during the Eocene geologic period of time .
Eleanor Frierson, who passed away in April 2013, was the grande dame of partnerships to improve public access to federal and international science information. For 10 years, she helped spearhead U.S. interagency efforts to make federal science information more accessible to Americans, playing an absolutely crucial leadership role on the Science.gov Alliance. She took Science.gov all the way from a nascent concept through to its maturation. Ms. Frierson also made similar contributions to the international science portal, WorldWideScience.org.
During the past year, Dr. William N. Watson, physicist, of DOE/OSTI's staff has posted quite a few very interesting white papers in OSTI's monthly Science Showcase on OSTI's Home Page. This quiet, unassuming man crafts prolific papers on popular science topics of interest to the Department of Energy (DOE). He investigates and assimilates this information from OSTI's extensive R&D Collections and takes us on a layman's journey through the technical details and scientific research that make it all possible.
William's papers have helped us to understand key technologies developed at DOE Laboratories for the Mars Science Laboratory's Curiosity and how chemical analysis of rocks and soil is determined millions of miles away. We know what is happening with new heat pump technology and how DOE researchers are working to improve designs and efficiency.
With the release of SciTech Connect, OSTI is expanding its deployment of semantic search, an innovative technology to improve the quality and relevance of search results across the majority of its DOE content. Semantic search is a way to enhance search accuracy contextually. Rather than relying on search algorithms that identify a specific query term, semantic search uses more complex contextual relationships among people, places and things. It is an especially effective search approach when a person truly is researching a topic (rather than trying to navigate to a particular destination).
Did you ever stop to think what makes it possible for you to have immediate, free access to Department of Energy (DOE) scientific findings from billions of dollars of annual research? A lot of behind-the-scenes work and dedication of an entire community make it all possible.
The heart and soul of this endeavor is the DOE Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP), a collaboration to ensure your access to DOE research and development results.

Re: Liveaboard question- Onshore storage
Here's an idea that has worked for me and others may get some ideas from it. I belong to a fraternal organization (i.e. Masons, Independent Order of Odd Fellows etc.) The Lodge owns its own building with a LARGE meeting hall and another unused floor above the meeting hall. I am able to store my sails and cushions there for free over the winter months (or any time ... and there's plenty of room for other stuff if I was so inclined) and ... the meeting hall is large enough for me to completely open up my main sail and do sewing on it ....
my own personal sail loft!!!
Maybe we'll see a resurgence in the members of the Improved Order of Red Men and Degree of Pocahontas in coastal communities!?!?!?!

Right now I use my car for storage. My hatchback "trunk" is packed full just high enough to not get me pulled over for it blocking my rear vision. When life spills over into the passenger seat it's time to throw things out.
The up side to car/SUV storage is it's somewhat air tight. Your stuff won't mold/rust from the salt in the air from being near the ocean. The downside is I worry about someone seeing all that stuff in there and breaking in to get at it. I cover it all with a blanket and there's nothing really valuable there, but still.
It's hard not to own a car in the US so you'll likely be arranging to ferry that around with you anyway. Might as well use that land anchor for storage too.
Re: Liveaboard question- Onshore storage
Bought a 16' NPR Cube van converted to a portable shop and to store extra boat stuff.
We have been living aboard for over twenty years in a variety of boats and in different countries. We started out living aboard a 27 foot sailboat in Canada and believe me there is no way you can store everything you need to survive in that climate on a 27 foot boat. We were lucky because our marina allowed us to put up a tool shed for storage on their grounds. We paid them a small fee yearly fee and it worked out well.
When we set off cruising (still on the 27 foot boat) we never missed anything in that shed... but then we didn't need all our winter gear , Manny wasn't working and we didn't need to do any big repairs on the boat.
Now we are living on a 30 foot boat in a small marina on the Red Sea. We have two dock boxes and we have a few boxes stored in town. Most of our storage is for Manny as he works off our boat. He does marine refrigeration and air conditioning and electrical work and needs space for tanks of gas, welder, spare parts etc. If we had a bigger boat, we probably could store his tools on board. We also have an old car that is packed with his tools too. One day soon we'll go cruising again and we'll have to find a better solution.
Other than Manny's tools maybe 4 boxes are for important papers (which unfortunately we are required to keep), and a few small memories from our childhoods. The thing about storage is that no matter what size of a storage unit you get, you always seem to fill it up...well that's our experience anyhow.

My situation and motivations are a bit different than yours. My cruising range would be limited to the Eastern seaboard and the Carribbean. Paying a small, monthly fee to maintain a small storage unit of critical posessions like a tool shop and seasonal clothing is not a "burdensome tether" to me. I'm not planning on giving up my job or casting off all ties to society. I am interested in cruising, racing, perhaps living aboard, but still maintaining a base of operations on shore. That base will be whatever marina I decide to live in, and a small storage unit to hold a motorcycle, tool shop, work clothing and seasonal clothing since I live in the Mid-Atlantic and we get both extremes of weather here.
I'm just in the very beginning stages of moving aboard. Will I like it? Well, can that really be answered until I DO it? My guess is that, based on other experiences and what I know about myself, I'd be VERY surprised if I didn't become a permanent liveaboard kinda guy.
I know all about (excuse the example) burning ships so you CANNOT GO BACK, and it has some merit - but I don't think I need to FORCE myself to make a life-altering decision like moving out of a house to a small boat. Keeping a 9X12 storage facility for stuff 200 yards from my slip/mooring for $110/month just seems wise to me. It's not so much about being able to GO BACK to being a landlubber - it's just the convenience of transitioning over 6-12 mos and getting rid of stuff on my terms. I may find that I want to keep the storage for some things, downsize to a smaller unit, or do away with it altogether. I"m living alone, so I don't have to worry about other people.
My five year plan (er - fantasy) is to learn to sail well, learn the boat systems and repair/maintenance, possibly move up to a more "blue water" boat, and if I haven't gotten rid of everything that won't fit on the boat by then, THAT will be when I do it. Over the next five years, I'll save $1,000 per month vs. living on land (which repair/upgrade/maintenance/toys will eat away at), learn what I need to feel confident/safe, and then do the ICW, over to the Bahamas and then probably start doing longer stuff (thorny path)???
OK, I'm probably leaving out stuff simply because I don't know about them YET. I have a huge learning curve, but 5 years behind the wheel, reading/learning/asking for help/winters READING and taking boating courses, etc. etc. From oil lamps to fixing the head to more "exotic" things like celestial navigation and GULP, coming into the mooring in a crowded harbor under sail???? We'll see. It's an adventure - but for the first few months or so, I will probably keep a tether to shore in the form of a convenient/relatively inexpensive storage unit! YMMV, but this is MY way of doing it!
Thanks for all the input - even if I read something I don't agree with, I try to question MY beliefs and learn from those who have a LOT more experience than I do. Open mind like parachute Grasshopper - work better when open! lol...

|thanx M - that solution has worked for us for many years now. I wish we could be quite as free as captain force, but at least the van is mobile in its own way.
The full size van idea from wingNwing is excellent. Two birds, one stone, acceptable storage right in the parking lot. I suspect that the vast majority of liveaboards do not cruise very far away, at least not routinely.
I would definitely have economical stuff (tools in particular) that I would not want to have to keep aboard year round.
The longer you live on the boat, the less stuff you will accumulate.
When we first moved aboard 7 years ago, all we had for storage was our car and out dock box. Now, if it doesn't fit on the boat, then it doesn't belong in our lives.
If you need the tools for the boat, then find something close. I suggest a dock box for the tools and the car for your extra clothes, and then find ways to reduce.

Lellie Swords Resigns As UC Lacrosse Head Coach
May 1, 2012
CINCINNATI – Lellie Swords, the University of Cincinnati's first lacrosse head coach, announced her resignation Tuesday after leading the program for its first five seasons.
"I've really enjoyed my five years at UC and believe we have left the program better than we found it," Swords said. "I'm excited about the next chapter in my life as my family pursues other opportunities outside of Ohio. I'm proud of the girls' accomplishments on and off the field and I will always hold a special place in my heart for the UC lacrosse program. I look forward to following their successes in the future."
"I want to thank Coach Swords for her service to UC and for laying the foundation for our program over the past five years since its inception," said Director of Athletics Whit Babcock. "She led our team through the challenging start-up stage and has made an impressive mark on our team's academic success. Just this past quarter, every member of our lacrosse team had a 3.0 or better grade point average and that's an incredible accomplishment. We wish Lellie all the best in her future endeavors and thank her for her commitment to the Bearcats."
Swords became UC's first intercollegiate women's lacrosse coach on Feb. 16, 2007, and led the Bearcats to the first win in school history on March 7, 2008, against Saint Mary's.
Academically, the lacrosse team has been honored with the BIG EAST Conference Team Academic Excellence Award during both seasons it has been a member of the prestigious league (2008-09, 2009-10). Additionally, every member of the 2012 team has earned a 3.0 GPA or better.
The squad also posted a perfect Academic Progress Report score in 2008 and 10 UC players earned Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Academic Squad honors over the last two seasons. In addition, Cincinnati was recognized by the IWLCA as earning Academic Squad honors for the 2010 season and was the 2009 Division 1 IWLCA Team Community Awareness Award winner.
Swords has also encouraged her athletes to become active members of the community, varying from volunteering time around the holidays at the Drop Inn Center to visiting the Cincinnati Children's Hospital. This year, the lacrosse team has dedicated 691 hours volunteering, including 198 hours throughout the week of spring break.
A national search for Swords' successor will begin immediately.

Join the Editors for bauma 2007
To make the most of the bauma 2007 trade fair experience in Munich, Germany, the editors of THE CONCRETE PRODUCER, CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION, and MASONRY CONSTRUCTION are inviting readers for a special Reader Tour from April 23–29. On Tuesday morning, April 24, readers and editors will meet for breakfast and a behind-the-scenes overview of the show, presented by bauma's organizers. After two days of exploring the largest specialized trade show in the world, our group will enjoy a Bavarian reception on Wednesday evening, April 25.
Next, the Reader Tour will go offsite to see bauma's construction machinery, equipment, and vehicles in action. On Thursday and Friday, April 26 and 27, we will visit concrete plants and jobsites in the Munich area. These exclusive trips will provide an opportunity most bauma attendees don't have: a first-hand look at European plant operations and construction sites (along with historic sights along the way).
The tour includes two options. Readers can sign up for the week-long package, including hotel accomodations for six nights, a seven-day bauma entry badge, the breakfast and reception, and two day tours. Those who have already made travel arrangements and registered for the show can also join us for the reader events and day tours. Reservations will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis. Availability is limited for both packages.
bauma 2007 promises to be an impressive display of international construction equipment and machinery. The show's organizers from Messe München International are expecting a record number of visitors in a record amount of space: more than 416,000 people from 171 countries, in a venue larger than 5 million square feet.
For more details or to register for the Reader Tour, telephone Carol Brodsky at TTI Travel at 866-674-3476 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's a little surprising the 2005-06 Carolina basketball team photo still fits on the Smith Center concourse, what with the halos around the heads of all the players.
In our memories, it's become that type of team. Roy Williams recently called that season-when the Tar Heels lost virtually everything except the argyle from the 2005 national champions-"the most fun I've ever had in coaching."
I was fortunate enough to be around that team quite a bit. I remember the loss to Illinois at the Smith Center, which was the game that provided the first glimpse into what the 2006 Tar Heels could be. I remember some incredible road wins, especially for a young team, that included victories at snake pits like Maryland, NC State, Florida State and Kentucky.
And we all remember, some of us probably in disturbing detail, with more clarity than the birthdates of some of our closest family members, the 83-76 win at Duke to close the regular season. How big was it? I didn't even have to look up the score. It was that kind of game. You remember: Tyler's three-pointer, Bobby's grin at the free throw line, and JJ and Shelden's ruined senior day.
Man, it was great.
But you know what wasn't so great? Those games we've all forgotten-the games that are an integral part of a young team being, well, young. A dud of a loss to a bad Southern Cal team. Home losses to Miami and Boston College.
And, most relevantly, being tied, 46-46, with Gardner-Webb at halftime of the season opener at the Smith Center. The Bulldogs finished 17-12 that season and did not make the NCAA Tournament. The game was tied with 11 seconds left.
David Noel bailed out the Tar Heels, as he often did that season, with a three-pointer that bounced around the rim ("The ball hit every side of the rim," as Williams put it on Thursday) and finally fell through with 1.8 seconds left. On that particular night, even the game-winners weren't easy.
"It looks like the omission from the top 25 was justified," sniffed the Associated Press story about the Tar Heels after the game.
That's not to say that Randy Young and his hard-working Smith Center maintenance crew should loosen a screw or two on the second-half home rim before tomorrow night's 7 p.m. season tipoff. It's just a reminder that young teams sometimes play, well, young. And the Tar Heels will start the youngest of the young, rookie Marcus Paige, at point guard tomorrow night, and they're likely to add at least one more freshman to the starting lineup.
"I feel fairly comfortable about Marcus, Dexter (Strickland), Reggie (Bullock) and James Michael (McAdoo)," Williams said Thursday afternoon. "The fifth starter, I change from one day to the next quite a bit...As we stand here right now, I still don't know who we will start."
Assuming that, perhaps, Joel James or Brice Johnson wiggles his way into tomorrow night's starting lineup, it will be just the third time in the Williams era that Carolina has started multiple freshmen on opening night (the others are Brandan Wright and Wayne Ellington against Sacred Heart in 2006-07, and Tyler Hansbrough, Marcus Ginyard and Frasor against Gardner-Webb in 2005-06).
Tomorrow night, the freshmen will most certainly be nervous. They are very likely to also be alternately dazzling and average, sometimes on the same possession.
"We know we're a young team and sometimes it's not going to go the way we want it to go," said Leslie McDonald. "We're going to keep trying our best and do our best for the team."
But freshmen have their maddening moments, and every time you remember the glory of the 2006 squad, you have to also remember that they also could rely on one of the best players in the history of the program to bail them out and get a basket when it was most needed. That group even had the luxury of a preseason trip to the Bahamas, during which you first began to suspect that Tyler Hansbrough had the chance to be a fairly decent player, at least as long as the opponents continued to arrive for the game in the back of a pickup truck.
There is no Hansbrough--at least as far as we know, which is one of the fun things about a new season--on this team, and young players will inevitably do things that make you shake your head. In that 2005 game against Gardner-Webb, the Tar Heels missed three important free throws in the final minute to keep the Bulldogs in the game. At some point between now and April, that's going to happen again. But keep in mind that one of the offending free throw culprits, Frasor, was exactly the player you wanted at the line by the time the Tar Heels traveled over to Cameron Indoor Stadium four months later.
The advantage for this year's team, though, is that they are not entirely raw. McAdoo was a key player in the NCAA Tournament last year. Strickland has played significant minutes for three seasons. Bullock was one of the most indispensable players in 2012.
None of the current Tar Heels, though, have ever had to be the player college opponents circle on the scouting report. They will also have to rely on leadership from players who have never had to lead before, which is the same thing you could've said about David Noel and the 2005-06 club. As Williams said, it wasn't until Noel's game-winner finally found the bottom of the net against Gardner-Webb that the Durham native definitively became the leader of that team.
"So far, it's been a team that has been led by the group," Williams said. "Dexter and Reggie and Leslie have been around the longest. Marcus has leadership capabilities and the position he plays helps. The two who have the most respect for everyone on the team are Reggie and James Michael. Right now it's been a shared responsibility."
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

Franz Kafka up in heaven must be smiling as he gazes at what is termed a "trial" in the nation of Myanmar. Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the democratic movement in Burma, is on trial for breaching her house arrest because a mentally disturbed man swam across a lake, entered her house, and complained he was exhausted. In most normal societies in the world, compassion shown by Ms. Kyi would be rewarded, but in the paranoia land of Myanmar, its military leaders see plots and conspiracies under every bed in the nation. John Yettaw, the American claims to have seen a dream in which he rushed to the home of Ms. Kyi to save her life. He told the tribunal, "I can't walk on the water, so I swam." This man entered the home of Ms. Kyi and she did her best to aid him since it was apparent he was emotionally unstable.
Burma's military junta responded to world condemnation of the trial by insisting Yettaw was a "secret agent of her boyfriend" and engaged in some nefarious plot. It is impossible to conduct a rational discussion with the mentally ill rulers of Burma so Ms. Kyi undoubtedly will face additional time under house arrest.
Go to bed, Mr. Kafka, your literature has become reality.

We hope today provides a few things that will shiver yer timbers!
Remember...Dead Men Tell No Tales!!!
This was the first year Jonas really understands what Halloween is. He's way into all the spooky (kid friendly) movies we've been watching, has an obsession with pumpkins and ghosts and totally digs that when he says "Trick-Treat, peeeeease!" he's given handfuls of candy.
Speaking of candy...here's what we've already collected from Disneyland's Halloween party we went to.
This doesn't even show the candy the kids scored at our church's Trunk-or-Treat party we went to on Saturday. We have enough candy to last until next Halloween!
Because of all the candy that has already been collected and consumed we will just take the kids out around our street tonight and then come back home, eat pumpkin shaped pizzas and watch Hocus Pocus by pumpkin light.
You can bet we will be handing out some of our candy we've collected! I've already separated the candy into "keep" and "give away" piles.
Enjoy the sugar coma....arrrrgh!!

The head Men's and Women's Soccer Coach at Iowa Lakes Community College has taken a new head coaching position.
Ammon Bennett has accepted a head coach position at Utah State University-Eastern.
Bennett was appreciative of his time with Iowa Lakes.
"I want to thank Iowa Lakes Community College for giving me the opportunity to coach the men's and women's soccer programs over the last three seasons," he said. "I have enjoyed my time here and hope only for the best for the college, the athletic program and the soccer teams."
Bennett was selected as the Lakers' head coach in 2011. A Utah Native, Bennett's new position allows him to be closer to family.
"This job above anything else puts me closer to both me and my wife's family as we are both from the beehive state," Bennett commented. "The move also will put me closer to so many of the athletes that I have recruited over the years. I literally have brought hundreds of soccer players from Utah to Iowa over the last 14 years so I look at this as an opportunity to go back home."
Bennett had an impact on countless student-athletes during his three-year campaign compiling a 38-19-3 record with the women and a 19-38 record with the men. He coached numerous All-Region players and had his teams playing at the championship level.
"It really was a tough decision as I felt the soccer programs here at Iowa Lakes were very close to winning a regional championship," he said. "The women's team in particular was nationally ranked and had played with and defeated several top ranked teams. For this, I am very proud as a coach."
Bennett will be missed.
"Ammon did a good job in his three years at Iowa Lakes as our head men's and women's soccer coach," Athletic Director Troy Larson said. "We wish him well in his new opportunity."
A search for Coach Bennett's replacement will begin immediately.

Towe '12 finds herself well-prepared for law school thanks to Ozarks
Release Date: 3/14/2013
Emily Towe was more than a little surprised when she found out that the Constitutional Law class she was taking in her second semester at Albany (N.Y.) School of Law used the exact same textbook used in the Constitutional Law class she took as a junior at University of the Ozarks.
"I had kept my textbook from college because I had written a lot of notes in there and I thought it would be useful to have," said Towe, a 2012 Ozarks graduate who is in her first year of law school. "I was shocked when I found out that my Constitutional Law class used the same textbook, same edition and everything. I not only didn't have to buy a new book, but I felt pretty good about the class after that."
Towe even had a chance to impress her Albany Constitutional Law professor when he asked a question that stumped the class.
Emily Towe, a 2012 Ozarks graduate, is currently enrolled at Albany (N.Y.) School of Law.
"In the margins of the textbook in the chapter we were covering I had written 'state's police power,' from my class at Ozarks," Towe said. "That was the answer to his question. He asked me, 'How did you know that?' I told him I had learned that in college, and he asked me where I went to college. He told me that they had obviously prepared me well for law school and to tell my professors at Ozarks that they did a good job."
Towe has discovered that Ozarks more than prepared her for the rigors of law school. She credited Ozarks Political Science Professors Gilbert Parks and Dr. Stewart Dippel for giving her the academic foundation to succeed.
"The workload that you have in political science classes at Ozarks, from the time you are a freshman all the way to your senior year, is similar to law school," Towe said. "As a freshman at Ozarks, it's a little bit overwhelming, but by the time you're a senior is not that big of deal. There were freshmen in law school who were completely overwhelmed with the workload that professors put on them, but for me it was just standard stuff."
Towe said her first year in law school has affirmed her decision to pursue a career in law. "I'm having fun, and it's made me realize that this is where I'm supposed to be," she said.
Towe said that her initial goal of wanting to practice general family law has narrowed a bit.
"I'm finding that I have a real passion for special victims prosecution, such as domestic violence and child abuse," she said. "I've even thought about perhaps going into policy work for victims of domestic or child abuse. The good thing is that I have a couple more years to decide which direction I want to go."
One thing for certain is that Towe has a job lined up for this summer, thanks to her Ozarks experience. She will work in Washington, D.C. for the Fund for American Studies as a program advisor for the Institute for Philanthropy and Voluntary Service. It's the same agency where she served in a summer internship between her junior and senior years at Ozarks.
"Except this time I'm going to be getting paid and I will even have a free apartment," Towe said. "Getting the internship at Ozarks two years ago opened the door for me getting this job. It's kind of neat how all these opportunities keep coming up through Ozarks."

At Dievole, good wine is the right answer to the right question, whether for vineyard or wine cellar. A good wine is the perfect union of man and nature. Dievole is an enchanted valley and we are committed to finding the right people. All evaluations, from selecting mother vine stock and clones to vintage planning and innovation in vineyards and wine cellar, are determined by one single objective: uplifting standards in the hope of creating a good wine through character and quality.
Aspiring to perfection is second nature to us
Dievole viticulture dates back to the 11th century. The first step taken to cultivate this genetic legacy was to revisit the past found in the historical memory of the farming families. New masters of wine-growing were brought in to counter environmental uniformity and monotony.

About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Panhandle Rancher Jim Bill Anderson Receives 2010 Leopold Conservation Award for Texas
AUSTIN — A lifelong passion for preserving prairie land seeded by a high school summer job that didn't turn out quite like he expected has earned Panhandle rancher Jim Bill Anderson the 2010 Leopold Conservation Award for Texas, a prestigious recognition conferred by Sand County Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as part of its Lone Star Land Steward Awards program.
"As Mr. Anderson puts it, he believes in 'partnering with the prairie," says Carter Smith, TPWD executive director. "To visit his ranch is to travel back in time for a glimpse of the Canadian River country pretty much the way it was when Spanish explorers first trekked across the Panhandle. It is hard to imagine a more deserving recipient of this award than Jim Bill Anderson."
The 59-year-old Anderson received a $10,000 check along with a crystal trophy at the annual Lone Star Land Steward Awards banquet in Austin on May 26. He said he plans to use the money toward developing an interpretive center on his ranch so everyone from school children to fellow ranchers can learn about voluntary conservation techniques and the ecosystem of his part of Texas.
The TPWD Land Steward program is partnered with Sand County Foundation, an international non-profit organization devoted to private land conservation. The Leopold Conservation Award in Texas is sponsored by the Bradley Fund for the Environment and Silver Eagle Distributors.
Located on the Canadian River in Hemphill County, the 5,000-plus acre Anderson Ranch has been in Anderson's family since 1946, when his grandfather J.O. Wells bought it. Though his forebears also had a high regard for the land, since Anderson assumed full control of the ranch in 1981, he has restored its native grasses, eradicated water-sucking invasive plant species, managed its quail, Rio Grande turkey, white-tail deer and the rare lesser prairie chicken while operating a working cattle ranch.
Anderson won his first conservation-related recognition in 1965, when as a Boy Scout he earned a merit badge in soil conservation and nature. But it was an experience two years later that really proved transformative.
"When I was a sophomore at Canadian High School, I got hired for the summer by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Southern Plains Research Station in Woodward, OK.," Anderson recalls. "I loaded up two young horses thinking I would be spending the summer working as a cowboy, but I spent most of my time crawling on my hands and knees collecting native grass clippings for analysis. That probably woke me up as much as anything to the importance of land stewardship, a term I like better than conservation."
After graduating from high school, Anderson left the high plains for the piney woods of East Texas, studying business at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. But after the death of his father in 1974, he returned to Canadian and began managing the family ranch.
In 1981, he built a house on the ranch and devoted his full attention to running the ranch and 38,000 leased acreage. Slowly he began buying out the various family members who owned parts of the ranch, finally completing its reunification two years ago.
The Leopold Conservation Award honors the legacy of Aldo Leopold (1887-1948), considered the father of wildlife ecology. His collection of essays, "A Sand County Almanac," remains one of the world's best-selling natural history books. Leopold's godson, Reed Coleman, formed Sand County Foundation in 1965 to protect the Leopold farm from encroaching lot development along the Wisconsin River.
"Jim Bill Anderson has transformed an average Texas Panhandle ranch into a world-class ranch that earns his family a living while allowing wildlife and native grasses to flourish. Anderson's tireless efforts to sustain and improve his part of Texas makes him more than worthy of being honored with an award named for Aldo Leopold," said Brent Haglund, Ph.D., Sand County Foundation president.
In nominating Anderson for the award, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist John Hughes (formerly based in Canadian but now assigned to the Denver area), cited several factors in demonstrating the rancher's achievements as a steward of the land:
- Use of adaptive management principles, including wildlife survey-based decisions in livestock rotation. He also uses hunting and prescribed burning to assure the health of his land.
- Through his stewardship, he provides healthy habitat for the endangered least tern, the threatened Arkansas River shiner and the lesser prairie chicken. Populations of these species has either increased or been stabilized on Anderson's ranch as a result of his management.
- A willingness to be innovative, one example being grazing criollo cattle along his ranch's river bottom land during the dormant season. That helped rejuvenate stagnated grasslands and encouraged new growth of cottonwood trees, a native species along the Canadian River.
- In addition to his land management work, he has reached out to neighbors and various conservation groups, government agencies and economic development organizations to promote land stewardship and ecotourism.
- Finally, Anderson worked with the Texas Agricultural Land Trust to place a perpetual conservation easement on his property.
"There shouldn't be a wall between running livestock and promoting wildlife," Anderson says. "Good land management benefits both."
Sponsors for the 15th annual Lone Star Land Steward Awards include U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Partners in Fish and Wildlife Program, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, H. Yturria Land and Cattle Company, Texas Wildlife Association, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Lower Colorado River Authority, Texas Farm Bureau, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, Texas Agricultural Land Trust, and Llano Springs Ranch, Ltd.

Jandrin No Stranger To What It Means to Serve
Editor's Note: In honor of Veteran's Day, Sgt. Justin Grones, an athletics communications assistant and member of the Wisconsin National Guard, profiled assistant athletic trainer Jon Jandrin, a United States Marine Corps veteran. On behalf of everyone with Green Bay Phoenix Athletics, thanks to Jon, Justin and all those who have served our country.
By Justin Grones (@GronesGB)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – For assistant athletic trainer Jon Jandrin of Prevea Health, serving Green Bay's student-athletes is both an honor and a privilege, and something he looks forward to each day. But before serving the members of Green Bay's 16 NCAA Division I programs, he served the entire United States—as a member of the United States Marine Corps.
A Green Bay native, Jandrin joined the Marines between his junior and senior year of high school through the delayed entry program, just weeks before 9/11 shook the nation. After graduating in June 2002, he headed off to basic training to begin a four-year career on active duty.
Following basic training, he was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina before spending a total of one year training in Pensacola, Fla., and Arizona to become a signals intelligence specialist, which taught him how to be a cryptologist and how to effectively copy Morse code. After completing his training, he was attached to a tactical signal intelligence battalion.
With that round of training complete, Jandrin became an even more well-rounded Marine when he was sent to Camp Pendleton in California to attend infantry school and learn the essentials of being a crewmember on an eight-wheeled LAV amphibious vehicle. With a wealth of new knowledge from his training, he became a member of a Mobile Electronic Warfare Support System (MEWSS) platoon upon his return to Camp Lejeune.
Jandrin deployed twice during his active duty career, first during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004—highlighted by his participation in the takedown of Fallujah. Following the takedown, he spent more than a month and a half on a small and remote combat outpost before returning to the U.S. for training to become a MEWSS team leader.
In fall 2005, he began his second deployment—this time as a team leader on a Marine Expeditionary Unit. Jandrin and his team crossed the Atlantic Ocean by ship and toured through the Mediterranean Sea before arriving in the Middle East, where they would spend two and a half months total in Iraq clearing routes and destroying weapons caches.
"At one point on that tour, we went 38 days without a real shower," Jandrin said. "In a way, it was kind of fun—we would use bottled water and shampoo, and then just throw our socks and stuff away after a while."
With two tours overseas complete, he finished his four-year career in the Marines in July 2006, and returned home to Northeastern Wisconsin. After six months out of the Marine Corps, he enrolled at UW-Oshkosh, where he struggled to transition from the military lifestyle he'd come to love.
"You just go from living such a structured lifestyle in the military and then end up with all this freedom—I didn't know what to do with it all," Jandrin said. "On top of that, the camaraderie you have with those you served with just can't be replaced, and I definitely needed to fill that void."
Midway through his sophomore year of college, he contemplated dropping out and returning to active duty. However, a friend convinced him to stay in school, and instead helped him toward a compromise—serving in the Marine Corps Reserve while still attending school. From there, Jandrin put the uniform he loved back on, and trained at the Marine Corps Reserve center in Green Bay. During his time there, he served in three impressive roles—as a squad leader, a platoon sergeant and a career counselor.
Following a few years as a reservist, he called it a career and began to focus on his new passion—athletic training. It might seem like an odd field for someone who had experience in military communications, intelligence and infantry skills, but as an athlete in high school and with the tough physical demands of the Marines, Jandrin had always been intrigued by the process of injury rehabilitation.
"Seeing other athletes in high school or fellow Marines work so hard to overcome injuries and return to 100 percent strength was always something that interested me, and I knew it would be a rewarding career to be able to help someone along the road to recovery," Jandrin said.
Although he planned on serving as an athletic trainer at the high school level, he was ecstatic to receive the opportunity to work with a Division I college athletics program. He credits many of the things the Marine Corps taught him for making him a good fit in the industry—the ability to work extremely well under pressure, his high level of discipline and the professionalism the Marines are known for.
"Being here at Green Bay is awesome, and I tell myself that every day and can't say it enough," Jandrin said. "The facilities are amazing, the student-athletes are all amazing people and fun to work with and the overall atmosphere here is incredible."
Although he admits the call to serve is still there at times, he's extremely happy with where he is now, and looks forward to the challenges his new role will bring him the future. Without the Marines, he says, he doesn't think he'd be anywhere near where he is now.
"If anyone asked me if I could go back and do it all over again, I'd say yes in a heartbeat," Jandrin said. "Without serving in the Marine Corps, I wouldn't have the opportunities I've had or be the person I am today."

ESO is introducing its first Adventure Zone known as Craglorn.
I've got to admit... After playing the beta I didn't think I'd ever play this game again, but after seeing some people's thoughts about it I decided I would give it a second chance and invest some more time. Long story short, I'm REALLY glad that I did. Like a lot of people have said, it's no Skyrim, but as an MMO it does what it does very well and rewards you. Aside from a few bugs here and there I'm having a blast now. $60 well spent.

Junior Emily Litwin was named to the All-MAAC Second Team while freshman Katlyn Tyler was named to the MAAC All-Rookie Team, in voting done by the coaches of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The honors were announced at the awards banquet held on the campus of Siena College on Friday evening.
Litwin led the MAAC at 4.94 digs per set in conference play. The Williamsville, N.Y. native posted double-digit digs in 28 of 29 matches, including a career-high 33 digs in the season opener against Eastern Michigan. Litwin had 518 digs on the season, which ranked sixth in program history as the junior became the third Golden Griffin to have 500 or more digs in a season.
Tyler averaged 2.13 kills per set and 2.59 digs per set. The Pavilion, N.Y. native led all MAAC freshman outside hitters in digs per set and was second among first-year outside hitters in kills per set. Tyler posted double-digit kills in five matches, posting a career-high 15 kills in the season opener against Eastern Michigan. Tyler also had double-digit digs in nine matches, recording a career-high 21 digs against Iona on Oct. 5.
Canisius has now had 18 players earn All-MAAC honors during the past 11 seasons, with at least one Golden Griffin being honored each year. That stretch of 11 years is the second-longest in the conference.
Six Golden Griffins were named to the MAAC All-Academic Team – seniors Emily Elek, Sydney Palka and Jessica Warner and sophomores Rachel Kline, Amy Osinski and Grace Streicher. To be eligible for the MAAC All-Academic Team, a student-athlete needs a 3.2 grade point average and have completed two semesters at her institution.

Must the Student's Child Live with the Student for the Student to be Independent?
Mark Kantrowitz
November 05, 2012
I'm 23 and have a 4-year-old child. Last year I received independent status for my financial aid because I supported my child more than 51% of his needs. This year the financial aid office asked for the same documents as last year but told me that I couldn't be an independent student because I didn't have enough documented proof. I explained and provided documents showing that the mother doesn't work and I pay $100 a week in child support. I also presented a document from the mother stating that I am the custodial parent. I also claim him as an exemption on my income tax return. In reality I pay probably 90% of his expenses. Last year the only problem was that he wasn't living with me but I helped pay rent on the home with his mother. This year he is living with me but the financial aid office deemed that there wasn't enough documentation showing that. I asked if the mother were to apply for this, they then told me it would have been a quick process and she would have been approved because she is the mother. Because I'm the father I have to jump through hoops. They asked me to bring a different document every week for 6 weeks before they told me I had to apply as dependent. What can I do to fix this problem? I don't receive any money from my parents and they already paid for my education when I was 18 before I had a child and they don't want do that again. — Jeremy B.
There are several ways for a student to be independent for federal student aid purposes. The most common ways are to be over age 24 as of December 31 of the award year, to be married, to have dependents other than a spouse, to be a graduate student, to be an orphan, to be a veteran or to be serving on active duty in the Armed Forces for other than training purposes.
To be an independent student by virtue of having a legal dependent other than a spouse, the student's child must receive more than half of his or her support from the student. The student's child does not need to live with the student.
Dependents other than a child must live with the student and receive more than half their support from the student for the student to be considered independent. Dependent children must receive more than half their support from the student, but do not need to live with the student for the student to be considered independent.
Confusion often arises because of ambiguity in the statutory definition. In 20 USC 1087vv(k)(2), the term "dependent of the student" is defined as "the student's dependent children and other persons (except the student's spouse) who live with and receive more than one-half of their support from the student and will continue to receive more than half of their support from the student during the award year." Some people incorrectly interpret the phrase "who live with" as attaching to both "the student's dependent children" and "other persons". However, it is clear from the similar language in the definition of "dependent of the parent" in 20 USC 1087vv(k)(1) that the phrase "who live with" attaches only to "other persons".

Pavan Sukhdev:
Put a value on nature!
Every day, we use materials from the earth without thinking, for free. But what if we had to pay for their true value: would it make us more careful about what we use and what we waste? Think of Pavan Sukhdev as nature's banker — assessing the value of the Earth's assets. Eye-opening charts will make you think differently about the cost of air, water, trees ...

My question is, being pretty good with tools and repair, is this a job I can do myself? I can get the parts from Winchester. Are there any special tools involved? My manual states to use a gunsmith for this job. Any help by those more experienced is appreciated.
Thanks Steve
PS Are there any instructions out there?

Tree Planting
Photo submitted by Dr. Doug Jeffries on 11/17/2008.
The university's Annual Tree Planting Day was another success story for the campus and the planet! With the help of Eddie Wood and the Grounds Crew, and the generosity of Stan Brown from Blossomberry Nursery (who provided all of the trees and donated many of them), and the nearly 30 hardworking students, staff (Stuart), and faculty (Kim and Phyllis) who assisted in the task, we planted 11 trees, 4 of which are species new to the campus, and one, Franklinia, is an exceedingly rare species that is extinct in the wild. If you see one of these new members to the Ozarks community, feel free to say "hi," give them a pat on the limb, or even a gentle hug in welcome.

Hi everyone! My name is Doug and I'm new to TDH! I learned of TDH from a friend who is in the process of building himself some Mando Armor. I decided to join when I found Wizardofflight's pattern for the Range Finder. Many thanks, bro! You really saved my butt! I'm in the middle of converting my nephew's Star Wars: The Clone Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer from Hasbro into Captain Rex for him. I attached a pic of the helmet with the paint job to this post. I'll post another once I finish the Range Finder. But, in the mean time I've been browsing all of the forums and I'm totally impressed by everyone's work! I'm an experienced leather worker and I have limited experience in casting with silicones and plastics. Any help in the future would be greatly appreciated and I would gladly give help when asked.
When the Captain Rex Project is done, I'm planning to build a Custom Republic Commando Suit or an ARC Trooper. Wish me luck! And thanks to all for assembling such a great forum!

Some of the Iowa Lakes Community College cross country team members earned a chance to compete at the NJCAA Division I National Cross Country Meet this Saturday, November 10th hosted by Rend Lake College in Ina, Illinois.
The national meet consists of 35 teams on both the men's and women's side, with over 250 runners in each race.
"Each athlete has the individual goal to run their personal best time, but we also have team goals," said Head Coach Molly Struve. "We have been training hard for over three months and this is most important race of their season."
The Laker women will have six athletes run – Leah Courtney, Melissa Gjerde, Sydney Park, Karen Gonzalez, Samantha Piehl, and Alyssa Ayers. Leah and Melissa have consistently been our number one and two runners on the team, but the other four have been varied.
At the Region meet, Iowa Lakes lost to DMACC by one point and to Southwestern by 15 points, so they are really looking forward to evening the score with both teams at nationals.
"Our main goal for the women's team is to beat Southwestern and DMACC," Struve said. "If all the women run their top race we have a good shot at that and to place in the top 25, which is another one of our goals."
On the men's side, Iowa Lakes will only be running four men – Andrew Kruger, Teague Anderson, Kyle Kephart and Luke Hinton.
"We will not be able to count as a team; five total runners constitute a full team," said Coach Struve. "For the men, it is more about individual time goals and placing in front of some of the other runners in our Region."
The 2012 Iowa Lakes cross country members competing at the national meet include (back-- from left to right): Leah Courtney, Samantha Piehl, Kyle Kephart, Luke Hinton, Andrew Kruger, Teague Anderson (front-- from left to right): Melissa Gjerde, Karen Gonzalez, Sydney Park, Alyssa Ayers
