Welcome to the SoConversation, featuring The Citadel beat writer Jeff Hartsell of the Charleston Post and Courier, Elon beat writer Adam Smith of the Burlington Times-News and UTC beat writer John Frierson of the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
There's really no way to sugarcoat the opening weekend for the Southern Conference. The league went 2-7 overall, including 0-2 versus the Big South Conference and 0-1 against the Ohio Valley Conference. We'll get to the specific teams the guys cover later, but overall what was your take on Week 1?
JEFF: Bigger disaster than Miley Cyrus at the VMAs. SoCon fans are going to have to forget the idea that the SoCon is way above the Big South in football (or in anything, for that matter), especially with the departure of powers Georgia Southern and App State.
Of the eligibles, only Samford against FBS newbie Georgia State had a win, and the Birmingham Bulldogs needed a 100-yard kickoff return for a TD and an INT for a TD to beat a bad team. The Citadel and Chattanooga fell flat at home, Elon and Wofford got ripped for their paychecks, and Western Carolina lived down to expectations. Even App State was bad. Yikes.
JOHN: This was not the start a conference that is moving into a new era was looking for, for sure. Mocs coach Russ Huesman said this week he was pretty stunned as he watched the games unfold Saturday. As surprised as I was by how UTC played and how The Citadel blew a 16-0 lead, I don't think any of us anticipated App State going to Montana and getting knocked around the way the Mountaineers were.
That said, it was only the first week of the season and a lot can change. If it doesn't, the SoCon will be a one-bid league and I don't think anyone would have anticipated that.
ADAM: Overall take from the opening week - brutal.
Current Smith Index ranking of SoCon eligibles - 1. Samford. 2 thru 6 (tie). Chattanooga, Citadel, Elon, Furman, Western Carolina, Wofford.
Talk about Letdown Central. And it stretched on for three days, starting with Chattanooga's clunker against UT-Martin on Thursday night and ending with App State getting smacked around out at Montana late Saturday night.
By the time that game kicked off, Elon and Wofford had been clubbed over the head by a combined 139-3, while Citadel and Furman both had frittered away leads of at least two touchdowns to Charleston Southern and Gardner-Webb, respectively.
Going down the list of last week's results, Samford's win at Georgia State and Georgia Southern's predictable annihilation of Savannah State can be placed in a "best of the weekend" category. Next in line in that department ... would have to be ... I guess ... maybe ... Western Carolina hanging within 13 points of Middle Tennessee at halftime before losing 45-24.
No bueno.
As for the games you covered - the SoConversation crew went 0-for-3 - what went wrong, what (if anything) went right and where does the team you cover go from here?
JOHN: The Mocs got the SoCon's slow start started with a 31-21 loss to a UT-Martin squad that was certainly better than I expected. The Skyhawks were big (especially at wideout), physical and their ball-carriers did not go down easily.
UTC was playing without numerous starters - only 38 Mocs saw the field, according to the stat book - and defensively UTC wore down in the second half. Huesman said the defense missed 36 tackles, which is a ton for a group that is usually pretty fundamentally sound.
Martin led 7-0 at the half but it felt like the Skyhawks were in more control than that. Apparently the fans felt the same because of the 11,000-plus that showed up, including a great crowd of about 3,000 students, quite a few headed for the exits well before the fourth quarter.
ADAM: There's only one way for Elon to go - unless you count burrowing through the basement floor - after Georgia Tech lowered the boom 70-0.
Elon lost a fumble on its second play, had a punt blocked on its sixth play and threw an interception on its 12th play. And that was followed by a three-and-out.
Not long after that, Georgia Tech led 35-0 three seconds into the second quarter and was on pace to put up a fraction shy of 140 points.
So, yeah, there are roaring starts to seasons and then, universes away, there is what happened to the Phoenix.
Elon did pick up a check from Georgia Tech for $250,000. And, as ludicrous as this may sound, there were some strides made in certain areas. Nineteen freshmen (combining true freshmen and redshirts) made their college debuts, a key development with Elon looking to build immediate depth, and the offensive line, believed to be a source of concern, held up nicely, allowing only one sack for the game, which didn't come until the fourth quarter.
JEFF: It's easy to point the finger, as coach Kevin Higgins did, at the two punts that The Citadel muffed, setting up easy Charleston Southern touchdowns. But the Bulldogs had issues on offense and defense as well. CSU gained eight yards rushing in the first half but 131 in the second half, pushing the Bulldogs around. The Bucs were better prepared and wanted it more. All of that is not to say that The Citadel can't beat Wofford this weekend. This is the game the Bulldogs have been pointing toward for a year, since a 24-21 loss to Wofford last season, their 14th in a row to the Terriers. But instead of coming in with confidence, the Dogs are dealing with some self-doubt. It might be easier for Wofford to shrug off its 69-3 loss to Baylor.
While most of the teams in the SoCon were struggling, Georgia Southern hammered Savannah State (no surprise) and Samford beat Georgia State. Samford's win was one of eight wins by FCS teams against FBS opponents. Is the gap between the two divisions closing or were most of these wins more upsets on paper than in reality?
ADAM: Making my way around Atlanta on Friday night, I got a chance to hear Georgia State coach Trent Miles say on pre-game radio that he felt Samford deserved to be a three-touchdown favorite over his team, a statement that, of course, had to do with Georgia State's struggles of recent years (1-10 record last season in the FCS) and not its status as a newbie on the FBS level.
Samford's victory was the exception here, though. Five other FCS over FBS wins were claimed against schools from major conferences. Still, given the SportsCenter overreaction that followed some of those games - do you believe in miracles?! - I'll say they were more so upsets on paper than anywhere else.
To me, North Dakota State (which beat Kansas State) and Eastern Washington (which beat Oregon State) are elite FCS programs that could hold their own in the FBS - not the Big Ten or Pac-12, but certainly in places like the MAC or Sun Belt.
Towson (which beat UConn) and Northern Iowa (which beat Iowa State) are playoff-caliber FCS teams that aren't too shabby, either. Towson gave LSU some trouble last September down in Baton Rouge.
Also of note here, Samford's $250,000 check from Georgia State was part of the combined $2.63 million earned by the eight FCS teams in their wins over FBS opponents.
JEFF: I'd say the gap between the top of FCS and the bottom of FBS is smaller than ever; the real gap in college football is between the five "power conference" and everybody else. Georgia Southern and App State could be Sun Belt favorites next year, and Samford's win over Georgia State was no upset.
Chattanooga could/should beat Georgia State this weekend as well. But any FBS team that schedules North Dakota State (as Kansas State did) is asking for the App State/Michigan treatment.
JOHN: North Dakota State has beaten an FBS team five years in a row -granted never the defending Big 12 champs - but I really didn't see that as too much of an upset given how good the Bison are and how many players KSU lost from last season. I suspect NDSU, and to a lesser degree Eastern Washington, would finish in the middle of the pack of some pretty good FBS conferences.
The gap between the top of the FCS and the teams in non-BCS leagues has gotten smaller and smaller, and will continue to do so. Like Jeff noted, App State and Georgia Southern should be very competitive in the Sun Belt next season.
The Mocs might beat Georgia State on Saturday, though that's not really an FCS vs. FBS matchup like NDSU vs. KSU, but I won't be picking the Mocs to upset Alabama in late November.
This week marks the start of SoCon play with a really big game between Wofford and The Citadel in Charleston. The other competitive matchups should be UTC at Georgia State in a mostly empty Georgia Dome and Furman at Coastal Carolina. What will you be watching out for Saturday?
JEFF: With a loss at Coastal on Saturday, Furman coach Bruce Fowler would go to 9-15 in his fourth season. His admission after the loss to Gardner-Webb last week tbat the other team was "tougher and better conditioned" than the Paladins was telling.
Even if sophomore QB Reese Hannon returns to action, the Paladins are looking squarely at an 0-2 start against Big South teams. In Wofford vs. Citadel, I'm curious to see how the Terrier quarterback situation works out. Coach Mike Ayers played three QBs against Baylor, and needs to find a solid 2-man rotation sooner or later. And for The Citadel and Chattanooga, it's time to back up all that "SoCon contender" talk. Even with the SoCon in its weakened state, both teams have got to play better than they did last week.
JOHN: The Mocs should be closer to full strength this week and they'll need good performances from everyone against Georgia State, which is only going to get better each week under new coach Trent Miles. For what many of us thought would be a breakout season for UTC, the prospect of an 0-2 start is pretty hard to fathom.
I'm really curious to see how Wofford and The Citadel respond, especially the Bulldogs. Last week had to be pretty stunning and like UTC, a promising season will really jump the rails with two straight losses.
And if I'm Saint Francis I'm a little scared. The first words out of Georgia Southern coach Jeff Monken's mouth on the SoCon teleconference Tuesday, in regard to the Eagles' 77-9 thumping of Savannah State, were that he didn't think his team played very well.
ADAM: I'm really interested to see if Georgia Southern, which plays host to St. Francis, Pa., can keep its average margin of victory in plus 60-point territory.
OK, that's not true. And, yes, Statesboro should be the site of another take-em-behind-the-woodshed result.
Obviously, Wofford's trip to Citadel is all kinds of intriguing for everything from how a Sept. 7 game potentially could factor into the league title race to how these teams bounce back from disappointing opening losses to how many passes are thrown out of their triple-option offenses.
Can Chattanooga and Furman be considered desperate in Week 2 of the season? Is that too New York Post of me?
Not-so-bold predictions - App State flattens N.C. A&T. That's the Aggies' season opener and their quarterback, Lewis Kindle, is suspended for his arrest this summer on a DWI charge.
Bold prediction - Samford lurks within striking distance of Arkansas until late in the game, which happens to be in Little Rock rather than Fayetteville. As y'all know, I <3 Samford's Fabian Truss.
(Editor's note: That last line apparently means "I heart Samford's Fabian Truss." Adam is very young at heart.)

State says feds lawsuit accusing state of warehousing disabled children is 'disruptive'
Liz Dudek, secretary of the Agency for Health Care Administration, staunchly defended the state's handling of disabled children in nursing homes on Monday and called the lawsuit filed Monday against the state by the U.S. Department of Justice a "disruptive" lawsuit that is intended to take over "control and operation of Florida's Medicaid and disability programs."
The federal lawsuit alleges that the state is unnecessarily segregating 200 children in nursing homes who would better be served in community care and home-based settings. It is asking a federal judge to halt the practice.
Here is Dudek's statement and background:

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
In Kwan v. Andalex Group, LLC, the Second Circuit (covering New York, Connecticut and Vermont) considered the impact of prior inconsistent statements made in the employer's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") position statement on pending civil litigation.
Kwan worked at Andalex from April 2007 to September 2008. During her employment, she was told that her work product was good and she received a bonus at the end of 2007. On September 3, 2008, she allegedly complained to a company executive that she felt she was being discriminated against based on her gender, as evidenced by the higher compensation of her male peers. Three weeks later, she was terminated for leaving work early without permission.
Kwan filed a complaint with the EEOC. In its position statement responding to her complaint, Andalex claimed it terminated her because of a shift in business focus such that her skill set no longer matched its business needs. Andalex also stated that a male employee was terminated around the same time as Kwan for the same reason. Although Andalex acknowledged that her performance was "acceptable," it mentioned that she made significant errors on multiple occasions and that such errors had negatively impacted a transaction on at least one occasion. Further, Andalex claimed that Kwan behaved inappropriately on two occasions and did not respect normal working hours (i.e., took long lunches, arrived late, and left early). Despite these ancillary issues, however, the focus of the position statement was that Andalex terminated Kwan because of a shift in business focus.
Yet, in discovery in the subsequent civil action, Andalex shifted its explanation for terminating Kwan. Instead of a change in business focus, Andalex emphasized Kwan's poor performance and behavior. Indeed, Kwan's supervisor testified that the business focus had already shifted by the time Kwan joined the company. The supervisor also confirmed that although the other male employee who was terminated around the same time as Kwan was fired because of the shifting business model, Kwan was not. A different executive testified that Kwan was terminated for poor performance and the change in the business model.
In litigation and motion practice, Andalex alleged that the main reason Kwan was terminated was poor performance based on three specific incidents, all involving delay in preparing and/or errors in financial models, only one of which was mentioned at all in its EEOC position statement. Andalex also claimed that Kwan's behavior — acting inappropriately at business meetings and failing to maintain standard work hours — contributed to the termination decision. The trial court ultimately granted summary judgment in favor of Andalex on Kwan's retaliation claim.
The Second Circuit, however, reversed summary judgment, holding that Andalex's inconsistent statements about Kwan's termination (in its EEOC position statement and in litigation) and the three-week timeframe between her alleged discrimination complaint and termination were enough to survive summary judgment. This case demonstrates the importance of administrative agency investigations and submissions, and the need for such submissions to be carefully prepared and consistent over time.

Advertisement Top image: Falling SkiesToday: Adventure Time (7:30 PM, Cartoon Network)This could be really interesting — it's science versus magic, Adventure Time-style. Judging from the previews I've seen and the above clip, Princess Bubblegum insists on asking the wizards, "How does it work?" Which can't possibly end well. Here's the deets: "Princess Bubblegum believes magic is nothing but a bunch of hooey, but when Starchy gets sick and asks her to use magic to cure him, she asks Finn and Jake to help her sneak into Wizard City to get a cold spell."

Here's the skinny:In 1908, a meteor hit deep into the remote Siberian territory of Tunguska. Now, more than 100 years later, 16 contestants descend on Tunguska unknowing of the land's mysterious past.

With their safety threatened, competing contestants must band together in an effort to survive. Under The Dome (10 PM, CBS):Now we get to find out how well this show can sustain its drama from week to week, with an episode focusing on the difficulty of putting out a fire without any fire trucks: "While the residents of Chester's Mill face the uncertainty of life in the dome, panic is heightened when a house goes up in flames and their fire department is outside of the dome." Warehouse 13 (10 PM, Syfy): Advertisement Way to raise the stakes — sounds like Claudia's predicament has far-reaching consequences. Also, will we get to see Giles and Spike reunited on screen? Here's what's up: "After bronzing Claudia, Paracelsus escapes with the only artifact that can cure her, and the team has to hunt him down before it's too late. Meanwhile, Claudia's link to Warehouse 13 endangers the building and Mrs. Frederic."Teen Wolf (10 PM, MTV):Here's what to expect from "Frayed": "During a bus ride to a cross country meet, Scott and his friends flash back to the events of a preemptive strike against the Alphas that has left several injured and possibly one or more dead."Tuesday: Johnny Test/Teen Titans Go! (7:00 PM, Cartoon Network):This time around, Johnny is using science to cheat in a ventriloquist contest. And Robin decides to get his own superpowers — first using science and then magic, with disastrous results both times.Wednesday: Futurama (10 PM, Comedy Central): Advertisement Didn't Bender already try to become a folksinger once before? In any case, here's what's up this week, according to The Infosphere:Bender meets his hero, a famous folksinger who has been in jail 30 times, and wants to duplicate his success. This means duplicating his guitar too, which he tries to steal from a maximum-security prison, but fails, so instead resorts to 3D-printing technology to duplicate the guitar — again resulting in horrible consequences.Through The Wormhole With Morgan Freeman (10 PM, Science): Advertisement I'm going to just climb out on a limb and say "No.""Will Sex Become Extinct?"

BBC America is showing a ton of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Syfy is showing nonstop Twilight Zone. Encore is showing the Back to the Future trilogy over and over.

A Los Angeles judge revoked her probation and Lohan was brought to jail, although she was released later that day on bail.

Old English dæg "day," also "lifetime," from Proto-Germanic *dagaz (cf. Old Saxon, Middle Dutch, Dutch dag, Old Frisian dei, Old High German tag, German Tag, Old Norse dagr, Gothic dags), from PIE *dhegh-.
Not considered to be related to Latin dies (see diurnal), but rather to Sanskrit dah "to burn," Lithuanian dagas "hot season," Old Prussian dagis "summer." Meaning originally, in English, "the daylight hours;" expanded to mean "the 24-hour period" in late Anglo-Saxon times. Day off first recorded 1883; day-tripper first recorded 1897. The days in nowadays, etc. is a relic of the Old English and Middle English use of the adverbial genitive.
day See under sidereal time, solar day. |
The Jews reckoned the day from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32). It was originally divided into three parts (Ps. 55:17). "The heat of the day" (1 Sam. 11:11; Neh. 7:3) was at our nine o'clock, and "the cool of the day" just before sunset (Gen. 3:8). Before the Captivity the Jews divided the night into three watches, (1) from sunset to midnight (Lam. 2:19); (2) from midnight till the cock-crowing (Judg. 7:19); and (3) from the cock-crowing till sunrise (Ex. 14:24). In the New Testament the division of the Greeks and Romans into four watches was adopted (Mark 13:35). (See WATCHES.) The division of the day by hours is first mentioned in Dan. 3:6, 15; 4:19; 5:5. This mode of reckoning was borrowed from the Chaldeans. The reckoning of twelve hours was from sunrise to sunset, and accordingly the hours were of variable length (John 11:9). The word "day" sometimes signifies an indefinite time (Gen. 2:4; Isa. 22:5; Heb. 3:8, etc.). In Job 3:1 it denotes a birthday, and in Isa. 2:12, Acts 17:31, and 2 Tim. 1:18, the great day of final judgment.

AFAIK the the two handed sword is not really a specific sword but a distinction made for a sword requiring two hands to wield. A long sword classifies as anything a little more than one meter in length and can be wielded with one or both hands. A bastard sword IIRC is classified as a two hander reaching about 1.5 meters and has a wider blade.
A Fauchard is basically the equivalent of the Japanese Naginata and the Chinese YuanYue Dao.

Just throwing it in..
I want to know, what are some good conditions to get a job in Japan. Im not talking about VISA or something, what im talking about is a college graduation, job training or something. A friend of mine is, like me from Germany. In Germany, we have besides the college, the job training, where young people learn in job and special schools, to learn to do jobs, as for example technical product designer, mechanic, electrican or cook. We would like to know, cause i cant find this very information on the internet, whats a good condition to get a job in Japan. I can imagen, that, with the college graduations, the chances might be not bad, so what about the people with a gradiation of an job training? Do Japanese know this kind of graduation?

bastard swords are considered "hand and a half", meaning they can be used one or two handed. The other posts pretty well cover the rest.
The sword definitions obviously overlap since people tended to tweak with the attributes over time.

Actually, a bastard sword and the longsword are the same thing.
The famous two handed variation of the broad sword would be the claymore, used by the Scottish. The English were the ones who used the one-handed version. The longsword on the other hand were used primarily but dismounted knights, due to its versatility. However, they were soon designed with thinner cross-sections with longer tips for thrusting in order to penetrate plate mail. |

I have a question. I am looking for the name of this typical style building.
I tried looking for urban houses but they are way too modern, I am looking for what I have linked below though it is from long ago. How the apartments are called in large cities that look like this (or what this side of town is called). |

5 Questions: Villa Park football coach Dusan Ancich
In 2008, Dusan Ancich took over as the football coach at Villa Park High. He inherited a team that went 1-9 in 2007, but progress was made immediately.
The Spartans won four games in Ancich's first year, and they returned to the playoffs in 2009, finishing with a 7-4 regular season.
Since 2010, Villa Park has claimed three consecutive Century League titles, and the Spartans have won 14 consecutive league games. A 28-10 loss to Edison in the CIF-SS Southwest Division final ended an otherwise successful season that saw the Spartans finish 12-2, a season that left Ancich with a hunger to get back out onto the football field.
Q: Did the football banquet last weekend serve as closure for this past season?
A: It was. We had a really good turnout, but it was sad in a way. We had some really good kids that you hate to say goodbye to. Yeah, you'll see them around school, but it's not the same.
Q: Is there any one thing you'll take away from this season?
A: You like to look at the season as a whole, but you definitely capture some key moments. The end of the Tustin game. Walking into Angel Stadium for the finals. We had a lot of close games that made the season more memorable. But that Tustin game in the fog, and walking into Angel Stadium – that was a pretty special moment for the players and for the community.
Q: This is the second senior class you've seen come in as freshman. What is that like for a coach to see your players mature over four years?
A: I think that's what separates high school sports from every other level. These guys came in as freshman, and I've seen them change physically, emotionally and socially. We had some guys who were trying to skate by academically early on, and now they're going to great four-year universities. It's pretty special.
Q: It seems like football season never ends. What is next for you and the team?
A: We've established our weight training program, and we have a speed and conditioning deal that a lot of schools are doing too. But we'll start throwing the ball ... with other schools come March.
Q: Do you enjoy the down time when football is out of season, or are you ready to get back out on the field?
A: Honestly, I really enjoy game nights. I saw the interview with Nick Saban after the national championship game, and he was already talking about next season. But I got what he was saying. Even if you don't want to start preparing, people are out there doing it. I think Orange County football is pretty dang good, and as long as schools are doing it fairly, then I'm all for preparing.

BATH TOWNSHIP - A hunter has been found dead in Bath Township. Police report that the body of 60-year-old Michael James Wright of Grand Ledge was found at the base of a tree that had a portable hunting platform in it. The statement to the media says foul play is not suspected. It does not say whether Wright died due to natural causes or an accident. Autopsy results are pending. Officers discovered Wright's body on Tuesday in the 1300 block of South Upton road, north of Clark Road. Nearby residents told officers they saw the hunter leaving his vehicle on Satuday.
The incident remains under investigation by the Bath Township Police and the Department of Natural Resources.

WASHINGTON – The Cardinals scored the first three goals of their match vs. Marymount on Tuesday and never looked back, winning 5-2 for their third win of the season. Mike Brennan led the way offensively with two goals, while Kevin Romano, Alex Sagastume and Chris Larson each tallied one score apiece.
Brennan wasted little time in giving CUA an early 1-0 lead when he scored on a penalty kick just 2:54 into the match.
The very next shot by CUA also found the back of the net when Sagastume took a pass from Earl Hamilton and beat Marymount keeper Juan Aguilar to make it 2-0 Cardinals.
It looked like more of the same on CUA's next shot, which came from Sagastume, but his attempt hit the post, leaving the score at 2-0.
Brennan saw to it that the lead only increased when he scored off a Ben Fernandez feed with 15:14 gone in the opening half.
The Saints finally got on the board in the 33rd minute on an Onar Yousefl goal, and that proved to be the final score of the opening half, sending the teams into intermission with CUA leading 3-1.
Hamilton took the first shot of the second half, but it sailed high. Two minutes later Brennan tried his hand, but his attempt was also off the mark. The third time was a charm for the Cardinals though, when Romano scored to put the margin at three.
The Cardinals continued to control the action, taking the next five shots, including one from Larson that found the back of the net for a 5-1 advantage.
CUA held the Saints in check for the remainder of the match, other than a late goal by Wais Ansary, which came with fewer than five minutes to play to set the final margin at 5-2.
CUA ripped off 25 shots on the day, compared to just seven for the visitors, and the Cardinals were credited with four corner kicks to only one by the Saints.
Cam McGrory played all 90 minutes in net for the Cardinals and stopped three shots, while Aguilar sent back seven before giving way to Daniel Keefe, who sent back two attempts in 25 minutes of action.
CUA will be back in action on Thursday afternoon when the Cardinals host Mary Washington at CUA Soccer Field. Action begins at 4 p.m.

The Old Northwest became U.S. territory in 1783 by the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolution and soon was one of the most pressing problems before the U.S. Congress. The four so-called landed states—Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut—claimed portions of the Old Northwest, while states with no western land claims, especially Maryland, argued that if the claims of the landed states were recognized, the wealth and population of the other states would be attracted to the western lands. The final solution was the cession of all the lands to the U.S. government, which was thus greatly strengthened; New York made its cession in 1780, Virginia in 1784, Massachusetts in 1785, and Connecticut in 1786. Two reserves were kept, the Virginia Military District and the Connecticut Western Reserve in Ohio. The Ordinance of 1785 established the Township System for surveying, which used a rectangular grid system in order to divide the land.

Texans asked to provide drought photos online
Published 8:56 am, Monday, August 5, 2013
AUSTIN — Some state agencies dealing with the lingering Texas drought have invited people to share their original photos online.
The coalition on Monday launched an interactive public awareness campaign on how the drought has impacted lives.
The Texas Department of Agriculture, the Texas Water Development Board and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are sponsoring the effort. Individuals are invited to share their original pictures of the drought on Flickr, Instagram and other social media platforms through Sept. 30.
State officials say more than 97 percent of Texas currently has drought conditions.

All you need to do is cut them from an old bicycle inner tube with a pair of scissors as shown by Instructables user dent244. AdvertisementThe name ranger bands comes from Army Rangers who would use the inner tube bands to tie down gear such as flashlights and knives so they didn't move or make noises while the troops were deployed. They're now used by many backpackers, preppers, and tinkerers wherever you would normally use a rubber band. The butyl rubber that makes up inner tubes should also last a lot longer than most modern latex "rubber" bands. You can also use them as tinder to start an emergency fire if in a wilderness survival situation.If you're not a cyclist you should be able to score a popped inner tube for free from a cycling friend or bike shop. One tube should provide 10-20 ranger bands easily. If your used inner tube is covered in grease let it soak overnight in a solution of Pine Sol and hot water.AdvertisementRanger Bands (Rubber Bands on Steroids) | Instructables

Ride Along, set in Atlanta, gives shoddiness a bad name.
Read Full Review
Forget going soft — Ride Along proves Ice Cube's got bigger image problems than kiddie movies and Coors Light commercials.
Time and again, Ride Along comes up with a clichéd setup — and then blows the payoff.
At its best, Ride Along is tolerable. At its worst, it borders on insulting.
A lazy and listless buddy-cop action-comedy that fades from memory as quickly as its generic title.
Hart's exasperated dervish shtick has moments of real live-wire anarchy, including one priceless gag at a firing range. Will it be enough to make Hart a household name? Maybe. But both he and his fans deserve better.
Turns out to be something like a comic riff on "Training Day." Leaning more toward Hart's brand of slightly raunchy humor rather than Ice Cube's equally popular family-friendly fare, the PG-13 film exhibits broad appeal.
Hart is much like Murphy: fast-talking, mischievous and irresistible. He's so confident and good-natured that we see how Angela fell for her pint-sized slacker.

OK for kids 15+
Odd-couple buddy-cop flick is violent, predictable but fun.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Ride Along is a buddy cop comedy with lots of gunplay, fistfights, and car chases, and a few impressive explosions. Some scenes include lots of blood, but the movie's less-than-serious tone makes the action seem less brutal. Expect moderate swearing (mostly variations on "s--t") and some creative sexual innuendo.
Messages: Even the toughest of us must sometimes learn to trust, and rely upon, others. You might even realize that other people are willing and eager to help out.
Role models: Ben clearly loves his fiance, and is willing to do almost anything to win the approval of her stern brother, James. However, James is initially unwilling to give his future brother-in-law a chance, and gives him a very difficult time before he gets to know him. Ride Along doesn't try to portray women in more than a damsels-in-distress role, however. Its sole female character does little more than argue, look pretty, and need rescuing.
Violence: Quite a lot of explosions, gunfights, hand-to-hand combat, and other mayhem, which is partly offset by the movie's comedic tone. Some characters get shot, and bleed profusely but don't die. One scene includes thugs threatening a prisoner with a knife. The film also shows a gamer playing violent videogames, which is portrayed as an important source of expertise for a cop-to-be.
Sex: No sex or nudity, though there's some passionate kissing. A few scenes feature very colorful innuendo. One character makes numerous references to the size of his penis.
Language: A moderate amount of swearing, including "bitch," "p---y," "ass" and several variations of "s--t."
Consumerism: The characters spend much of the movie driving in a Dodge Charger. During a high-speed chase, a cop in sudden need of a vehicle rejects a Toyota Prius, which he disparages as unsuitable for his needs. One character wears a Nike athletic shirt, and is excited to discuss its wicking properties. Several well-known gun manufacturers are mentioned by name.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: One quick scene shows people with beers at a party.

"Any time you go somewhere with a football team, they're gonna be noticed," Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology professor Mike Kukral chuckles. The geography professor accompanied the college's football team on its trip earlier this summer to Europe, where they emerged victorious in a charity benefit game against the Austrian national football team.
Seeing The Sights: Members of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's men's basketball team had some fun at Mont Saint-Michel near Normandy during a recent trip to France.
The trip was also educational as several football players took a Central European Studies course, developed and taught by Kukral, to fully appreciate the history and culture of Prague in the Czech Republic and Vienna, Austria.
"We want to promote more international education at Rose-Hulman and this is one of the ways to do it," Kukral says of the trip and its corresponding class. "It's a great experience to educate Rose-Hulman students about these cities." He adds that immersion in another culture provides an education that can't be found on the home front. "You can only learn so much in a classroom or a book," Kukral notes.
In addition to the game, the team traveled to Hradcany Quarter, St. Vitus Cathedral and the River Vltava in the Old Town Castle District of Prague, as well as Vienna's Schobrunn Palace. "It's very important to internationalize or globalize Rose-Hulman's curriculum," Kukral says. "One of our goals is to get students into other cultures because their jobs are going to take them all over the world."
As a civil engineering major, Mitch Snyder took a particular interest in the architecture of the cities he visited. "I don't know how they did this without any modern equipment," he marveled as he recalled the grand cathedrals and massive palaces of Europe.
Kukral indicated a valuable part of an international experience is recognizing "differences you never thought of or expected." He adds, "You realize that things are different everywhere you go - and things are the same everywhere you go."
Among the cultural differences, Snyder noted some of the subtle things that were most surprising in the international setting. "They didn't have any ketchup over there and that kind of threw me off," he said.
International experiences were also gained this summer by member of the men's basketball team, which traveled to France, where they played, and won, three games. Players had the opportunity to tour the Champ Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe and the Notre Dame Cathedral. This was the team's fifth international trip under head coach Jim Shaw.
As with the football team, the basketball players stood out among the Europeans during their travels. Basketball team member Spencer Harlan says that the players' height, along with their American clothing, left no doubt among the French that the students were from the U.S.
"People would point us out on the street and say, 'Oh, Americans!'," he says.
Harlan, who had never before traveled abroad, continues, "The major thing I learned is what it's like to be in a completely different environment, with a completely different way of thinking and viewing things."
The basketball travel group had a particularly moving experience when members met a group of British World War II veterans near Normandy.
"I probably could have sat there and listened all day. I've only ever talked to one other World War II veteran," Harlan says of the encounter. "It was a wonderful, life-changing experience."
Kukral says that students traveling abroad representing Rose-Hulman are not only gaining a valuable learning experience, but they're also ambassadors for their school and country. "Everyone that met our team was very impressed," he says of the football team, adding "I heard a lot of positive things about their manners, their attitude and their interest . . . Everywhere we stayed they were great ambassadors for Rose-Hulman."
Football player Ben Parker credits Kukral's Central European Studies class, as well as traveling alongside the geography professor, with helping him appreciate the cultural aspects of the trip.
"Everything you saw, you already knew what it was," he said. As the group toured the historic Charles Bridge in Prague, Parker enthuses, "Dr. Kukral was dropping knowledge bombs on us, telling us all kinds of stuff."
Snyder comments that although there were many cultural differences, the similarities outweigh them. "It's definitely opened my eyes (about other cultures). Just seeing what else is out there and understanding how other people live. But, overall, they're a lot like us."

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. (We learned that from Dad.) So, this Fathers Day, create a breakfast just for him! Weve collected some of our favorite recipes to make it easy for you to find one your dad will love! Enjoy!
For the Dad Whos
You name it brownies, cakes, pies if its sugary, your dad loves it. So, to start his big day off right, surprise him with a sweet, decadent breakfast that will satisfy his sweet tooth (at least for a little while, anyway).
(Because regular French toast is just so expected!) This sinful recipe has received nothing but rave reviews, so were pretty sure that Dad will love it too.
Hes probably had cinnamon buns before, but this recipe really does look perfect. Smothered with gooey icing and loaded with ground cinnamon, this sweet breakfast wont disappoint.
Whether your dad is counting calories or simply trying to eat a little better, these delicious recipes are sure to appeal to him, as theyre packed with heart-healthy vegetables and filling eggs.
Baked Eggs with Roasted Vegetables
Loaded with broccoli, onions, and potatoes, this vitamin-A-packed breakfast offers few calories and a delicious taste.
Skillet Eggs with Zucchini and Squash
Easy to whip up, this healthy breakfast boasts his favorite summer vegetables that are transformed with freshly grated nutmeg and spicy jalapeno pepper.
If your dad has expensive tastes, creating a breakfast hell love could be one heck of an ordeal! But fear not. These delicious meals deliver lots of interesting flavors, but arent at all difficult to make.
These traditional, thin pancake-like Blinis dont take long to make and are dressed up with delicious smoked salmon, savory caviar, and creme fraiche.
