USC's Dion Bailey heading to NFL Draft
USC safety Dion Bailey announced Monday that he will skip his senior season and declare for the NFL Draft.
Bailey, a former linebacker who is listed at 6 feet, 200 pounds, is considered a possible third-round pick in several draft projections.
''I don't think I have anything left to prove," Bailey said. ''I'm just hoping and praying for one team to give me an opportunity.''
In 2013, Bailey made a successful transition to safety, even though he missed spring practice because of shoulder surgery. As USC's primary nickel back, Bailey played an important role in pass defense and often lined up at the line of scrimmage to cover slot receivers.
Bailey led USC with five interceptions this season and had 62 total tackles, the fourth-highest total on the team. He was named to the Pac-12's second team at defensive back.
Bailey's absence leaves the Trojans a bit thin at safety, as senior Demetrius Wright is also departing. Su'a Cravens played a big role this season as a freshman, but fellow freshman Leon McQuay was mostly limited to special-teams duty. Gerald Bowman has also played a limited role in his time at USC.
It's possible that cornerback Josh Shaw could return to safety, if Shaw (a draft-eligible junior) doesn't leave.

Nobody likes finding leftover food bits on their plate from a previous meal, and the days of the dishwashing boy scrubbing plates, pots, and pans is almost a thing of the past. These days, your commercial kitchen is home to high-quality, high-powered dishwashing machines that do most of the work for you. Though, these machines wouldn't be complete without the proper warewashing supplies, like glass and dish racks. Additionally, while the hands-on dishwasher may be going extinct, you still need a way to move dirty dishes from the dining room to the kitchen. Bus tubs do the trick, and they're an important part of any warewashing kit.

Zbigniew Strzebonski of MODESTWORK has recently completed the design of an urban chair.
After visiting a small workshop that produced Georgian-style pieces, Strzebonski developed an interest in working with steel and steel bars. Conceived as a statement piece for an urban loft, the Loft Chair is also well-suited for outdoor decor.
Its powder-coated pieces have been welded together to create a lightweight, airy sculptural piece that is available in three different options: colored, straight crossbars, radial bend crossbars, or a wooden seat.

text: DJ Suspended For Comments About Haitian Women And HIVIrin Carmon12/23/10 2:23pmFiled to: Radio rageHot 97 haitian womenHot 97HaitiHaitian womenCaribbeanDiscriminationHivAids72EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink"The reason I'm HIV negative is because I don't mess with Haitian girls," New York radio DJ Cipha Sounds recently said on air. He's apologized and has been suspended, but he's reopened some very painful wounds.AdvertisementCommunity leaders, including from BelTiFi, a Haitian women's group, protested outside the headquarters of Hot 97, the hip-hop radio station that had hosted the comments.The station's parent company has suspended him indefinitely and ordered that he undertake sensitivity training about "the challenges the Haitian community has faced in terms of the HIV epidemic."AdvertisementFirst things first: If it still needs to be said, the way you stay HIV-negative is by engaging in safe sexual activity, regardless of who your partner is. (Or, of course, not engaging in sexual activity at all). Period.But Cipha Sounds, whose real name is Luis Diaz and who is of Puerto Rican descent, had to be aware of the minefield that he was walking into. In addition to the ever-mounting tragedies experienced on Haitian soil, since as well as before the earthquake, Haitians abroad have been subject to particular discrimination. And that includes among other Caribbean communities — the effects in the Dominican Republic, for example, are well-documented — as well as in the United States, where Haitians were historically discriminated against, from teenagers using Haitian as an insult in some communities all the way up to U.S. migration and refugee policies.Panic of HIV and AIDS is a big part of that discrimination. As The Root points out, "Sounds' comment also opened old wounds stemming from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 1983 list of HIV risk groups banned from donating blood, which included Haitians, hemophiliacs, homosexuals and heroin addicts. After years of dealing with that stigma, New York Haitians led a pivotal march in 1990 to protest the unproven CDC claims."SponsoredThere's also the belief, which began as a conspiracy theory in the 1980s and then was arguably substantiated in a 2007 scientific study, that AIDS came to the US via Haiti. As Haitian-American activist Marleine Bastien told The Sun Sentinel at the time, "Haitians historically have been used as scapegoats." The belief that Haitians all had AIDS "had a devastating impact. Haitians were fired from employment. They were denied access to housing. Calling someone Haitian became the worst curse."Unfortunately, that attitude hasn't disappeared at all.AdvertisementHot 97 DJ Suspended Over Comment Linking Haitian Women To HIV [CNN] DJ's Quip Linking Haitians And HIV Sparks Outrage [The Root] DJ Cipha Sounds Apologizes After Saying He Avoids HIV By Not Hooking Up With Haitian Women [NYDN] Related: Haitian-Americans Fault AIDS-Spreading Report [Sun Sentinel]Reply72 repliesLeave a reply

If you want it for all around use, I wouldn't mess with installing a cam until you drive it in the stock form. You'll probably find it more than adequate for daily use.

I would think that an LQ9, without torque management (and why would any of us want TQM?), coupled to a 4L60e, that wouldn't meet the goal of reliability, unless that 4L60e was built up to heavier specs (4L65/4L70).
August 21st, 2009, 10:21 AM | #83 | |
Even the 4l70 will get eaten by 400hp and 4200 lbs without torque management. A shift kit and quality clutches with a little extra line pressure is a minumum. I'm curious to see if I can tear up my th400 that killer b built. it's getting replaced with a 4l60-70 of some sort when it does crap out so I need to get at least a year otu of it.... |

Short of a complete rebuild, what would you guys recommend being done to a 4l60e? I was planning on a corvette servo and looking to see if line psi could be bumped up. When it gives up, it will get a performance rebuild and better converter.
My build plan (to begain with anyways, hhmm) is a 5.3 with some tuning and as much juice as it can handle (150-250).
Hay, look at me... I have a signature..... RIP FULLSIZE4LIFE |

Agreed. I've known a lot of people who've killed 4L60Es left and right with stock to mildly modded rigs, but then I've known people who put them through stupid amounts of abuse(too much weight, too much power, too much throttle, 170k miles) without so much as a hiccup. They're cheap, if you're running something fairly stock then give one a try and upgrade if the need arises.
August 21st, 2009, 02:55 PM | #91 |
Yeeeee Haaaaw!
I don't know any of the details as I only hang out with those guys once in a while. And I only know enough to get myself in trouble with those new motors. I have just seen their burnouts (I'm usually the one filming) and know how fast they are at the sand drags. I get to hear how fast they were and how big of a pill they stuck in them that time and so on.... You can PM Cooter21 and he could probably give you some more of the details on what they are running. Personally I wouldn't run any of their motors on a rig that going to be used on the rocks. Street and sand use only!

You Get the Big One
So what I'm gathering is that the 4l65e/4l70e that is behind the LQ9 doesn't have the strength for it with the TM taken out? I am planning this set up in a jeep so I won't be overly heavy. Pacific Fab quoted me 3950.00 for a low mileage Lq4 with a 4l60e and 4 wire harness with ecu. Thoughts?
August 21st, 2009, 06:53 PM | #93 |
You Get the Big One
I want 4 speed trans, Monster Transmission has a built 4l65e rated for 500hp for 1700.00 or a built 700r4 for 1400.00. Both are more than I want to spend. But if I have to I will. It's just that I read about alot of jeeps running 4l60e's behind 6.0l and not having a problem... but that's just it I've read about it, I wanted to hear from people who actualy ran it or who's friends have ran one. On another note if I did run an lq4 woundn't I have to change the flex plate and trans plug for the 4l60,4l65? I thought I read that the Lq4 came witha different plug for the trans , the 4l80e?
August 21st, 2009, 07:02 PM | #94 | |
Yooper In Training
LQ4s were available in lots of different configurations and transmissions. Depending what it's out of it may have a flexplate and wiring for either trans. My LQ4 is out of an 04 H2 and has a 4L60E flexplate, but my buddy got one out of an 04 Silverado HD and it's got the 4L80E flexplate. I think it was available with either trans in the work vans too. |
August 21st, 2009, 07:12 PM | #95 |
You Get the Big One
Yeah I would love to run the 4l80e and just be done with it but I don't really have the room. Stock wheel base in the back plan on moving the front forward 3 inches nothing major, I would like to keep it a Jeep, or atleast lookin like one. I did'nt no that the lq4 came with the 4l60e in some configurations that's cool to know, I guess that I'll have to do some more web searching. But what do think about the deal from Pacific fab? To much for a drop in combo?

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Jindal's Louisiana Vouchers Face Growing Legal Backlash
State educational reforms signed into law by Jindal in April would allow low- and middle-income students in struggling public schools to receive vouchers to attend private schools. Similar programs have been utilized in about a dozen other states and have long been part of a broader educational reform favored by conservative groups.
In a lawsuit claiming that the bill violates the state's constitution, the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and the Louisiana Association of Educators are seeking to have the reforms struck down.
The Louisiana School Boards Association also joined 34 other school boards late last week in filing a similar lawsuit, saying that the imposition "put[s] public school systems in more peril than ever." Preliminary hearings are set for July 10.
The voucher program Louisiana is slated to employ is much broader than other states. The vouchers, worth up to $8,800 annually, will be offered to students of families making under $60,000 and who are currently enrolled in a public school in which at least 25 percent of students test below grade level. So far, about 6,000 students have applied to the approximately 5,000 slots currently available in the approved private schools across the state, according to The Shreveport Times.
The following school year, however, will see the implementation of "mini-vouchers," in which all students at the aforementioned schools, regardless of their family's income, will be eligible for a $1,300 stipend to pay for private-school classes and apprenticeships. The voucher system would thus open up to nearly half of the state's public school students. Since the public schools will lose commensurate funding every time one of their students opt for a voucher, the state's public school system could by some estimates lose up to $3.3 billion annually once the program is fully implemented.
With 70.9 percent of its students receiving high school degrees, Louisiana has one of the lowest graduation rates in the country. But, per a statement from the governor's office, last year's rate was 3.7 percent higher than it was in 2010. It also represents an 11.6 percent improvement since 2002, which has outpaced the national average. As such, some see this reform as mere political maneuvering, rather than than the necessary educational restructuring that Jindal claims to be proposing. In an interview with AlterNet, David Kirshner, professor of educational theory, policy and practice at Louisiana State University, said that the program will lead to the "inevitable degradation of the public system."
There are also concerns about how the program might meld government and religion. Of the 120 private schools approved by the state government, the majority are Christian-based and monitored far more loosely by the state than their public counterparts, according to Reuters. The New Living Word school, which is willing to accept 314 vouchers -- the highest number in the state -- has no library, and students watch instructional DVDs that filter lessons through Biblical verses. The Eternity Christian Academy, likewise, does not teach evolution, and is one of a handful of schools that employ the Accelerated Christian Education program, which reportedly claims, among other things, that Japanese whalers caught a dinosaur, and that the Loch Ness Monster is real.
The Islamic School of Greater New Orleans initially offered to accept as many as 38 voucher students, but pulled their request after Rep. Kenneth Havard, R-Jackson, said that he objected to any funding of "Islamic teaching" and that he "[wouldn't] go back home and explain to my people that I supported this." Offered Rep. Sam Jones, D-Franklin: "It'll be the Church of Scientology next year."
The lawsuits, when combined with the types of schools the government will now be funding, have tarred the proposed reforms before they've taken effect. After the ISGNO had pulled its request, Rep. Steve Carter, R-Baton Rouge, said, "The system works."

Hello folks, just sharing a small & simple app. which you can use to quickly change your Torchlight font. Easy to use - just a few clicks of a button and your selected font is ready for display in Torchlight. Made this for my own personal use, then decided to neaten it up a bit and release it - hope someone other than me finds a use for it
Please note, this is an application. You don't need to install it in your TL Mods folder to use it. Just download "Torchlight Font Editor.zip", open it up, then run "Torchlight Font Editor.exe"
Prettier interface
Recoded for stability and speed
Support for more fonts
Made in Taiwan
Torchlight Font Editor (v2.0)
Simple application used to change the font in Torchlight.
To set a new font:
To use Torchlight Font Editor, simply open the app then click "Choose Font", browse through the fonts installed on your computer, select a font then click Ok. If you are happy with your selection, click "Set Font" - your font is now ready to be seen in game.
To remove your custom font:
To completely remove all traces of the custom font, just click the "Remove Font" button.
Additional Notes:
x1.exe is an external function for Torchlight Font Editor which I coded in Autoit. It's used for organising, moving, renaming and deleting files and folders related to the Custom font.
Change the background graphic by clicking the '+' and '-' buttons, or by pressing the left and right arrows. Small feature to offer some variety if the images hurt the eyes.
Change the font colour by clicking the multicoloured bar along the bottom of the app. This does not change the font colour in Torchlight, it' just a feature to make the text clearer.
Settings.ini is used to store information about your font selection, the TFE GUI and the path to your Mod folder.
Autoit executables can sometimes cause false positives with Anti-Virus software.
The font size, colour and formatting are not relevant, nor applied in Torchlight - only the font 'design'.
Created and tested in Windows Vista. Apologies for incompatability or instability issues with other OS's.
Software released in good faith, use at your own discretion/risk, please don't sue me in the unlikely event that this program causes your computer to implode.
May it serve you well, thanks for downloading.

Brightsparks: Shamar James
SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD Shamar James, former student and deputy head boy at the Ocho Rios High School, is still beaming with pride after passing all 11 subjects with nine distinctions and two credits in the recent sitting of the CSEC examination.
The young man, who hails from the Higgling Town community in St Ann, said he was utterly surprised and ecstatic following the announcement of his results.
"I wanted to scream and run all over the place! It was unbelievable," he shared with TEENage, during an exclusive interview.
He earned distinctions in mathematics, english language, biology, physics, chemistry, information technology, principles of business, principles of accounts and credits in social studies and geography.
Although Shamar refuses to be labelled a nerd, he admitted that he sacrificed a great deal of his social time to study and practice prior to his examinations.
"I worked closely with the teachers at school, worked past paper questions and gathered outside knowledge from playing with the school's quiz team," he stated.
Shamar describes himself as articulate, jovial, hard-working, patient and understanding. He stated that his desire to be successful and to rise to the highest echelon in society has always been his driving force and to date, it has clearly been paying off.
In addition to serving as deputy head boy for his school, Shamar also served as public relations officer for the School's Challenge Quiz team and as an active member of the sign language and performing arts groups. He acknowledged his commitment to his time management schedule in balancing his academic studies and leadership positions.
But it isn't all work and no play for Shamar. The hopeful pilot stated that he enjoys listening to R&B music and spends most of his leisure conversing with friends via Facebook®. He also admitted to being a frequent party patron, particularly during the holidays away from school.
As he continues his academic studies at Wolmer's Boys sixth form, he is advising TEENs who are preparing to sit CSEC examinations to buy the syllabus for their various subject areas and follow it.
"Practice, practice, practice," he also added.
Shamar says he especially wants to thank his mathematics teacher, Mr Napier, at the Ocho Rios High School and his study partner and best friend Andrea Ramatore for his success.
"They believed in me when many others doubted me," he closed.

New Mexico State holds on to win WAC title
UT Arlington's Brandon Edwards (35) dunks the ball against New Mexico State during the first half of a Western Athletic Conference tournament championship NCAA college basketball game, Saturday, March 16, 2013, in Las Vegas. (David Becker, Associated Press)
LAS VEGAS — Sim Bhullar had 16 points, 15 rebounds and five blocked shots to lead New Mexico State to a 64-55 victory over UT Arlington on Saturday night for its second straight Western Athletic Conference championship.
Holding a 32-30 lead at halftime, New Mexico State used a 19-8 run to open its biggest lead of the game, going up 51-38 with 11:27 left in the game.
The Aggies earned an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament by staving off a furious rally by the Mavericks, who used Kevin Butler's 3-pointer from the top of the key with 10:17 left to key a 15-5 run and pull within three points with 1:55 left in the game.
Butler led the Mavericks with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A group of 94 suspects charged with plotting against the United Arab Emirates is seeking an independent investigation into their claims of abuses in custody.
Their letter to the UAE's president, released by activists on Thursday, comes after the prosecution wrapped up its case this week, claiming the Emirati suspects are linked to Islamist networks opposed to the country's Western-backed ruling system.
The charges reflect wider crackdowns across the Gulf Arab states.
The letter repeats claims of torture and harassment of their families. It says their Islamic society, known as Al-Islah, had the backing of UAE leaders in the past and is loyal to the UAE's leadership.
It urged for an independent probe and to "hold accountable" police and others.
A verdict in the trial is expected later this month.

I think you may be using translation software to post? that is not quite perfected yet but i think i get the gist.
I think they probably gave up for money reasons like the Americans seem to be doing now which was and is a shame as i think that if space was exploited properly in the long term the money would be a good investment both financially and socially. _________________ Someone has to tilt at windmills.

Energia is a private company, so stuff that isn't cost effective or doesn't have a market gets cut.

that is an excellent article on the Soviet Buran Program. It seems they never realyl expected it to go anywhere, mostly because of the cost, and political backing issues. http://www.energia.ru/english/energia/l ... ergia.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energia http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/energia.htm http://www.google.com/translate?u=http% ... l=ru&tl=en The Energia booster system was a seemingly excellent launch platform. expensive, yes. but it had a massive launch capability. The Buran was nothing more than a payload to the Energia booster and didn't provide power during launch. check out the Vulkan concept they had on the wiki and astronautix page. @idiom were they a private company at the time? |

Not at the time it was built, but it was retired during the change over. Its on their books now though, and they still have the tech for any paying customers.

ahh... ok
unfortuately, the hadware is no longer there, at least with regards to the Buran. the only flying example was destroyed in a hanger collapse. Don't know how much of the Energia booster hardware is still around, other than the Zenit (sea launch uses them) booster and maybe some RD-0120 engines. |

- - The "free" or "fixer upper" horse and newbies an expensive but common mistake.
The "free" or "fixer upper" horse and newbies an expensive but common mistake. Taking on the wrong horse is probably the most expensive & dangerous mistake you can make on the road to being an equestrian of any discipline...and the "free" horse can end up being the most expensive horse of all. It is common sense that you would want a healthy animal so getting a vet on board to do an exam is always a great idea. Most people know to look at the hooves and to examine it for old scars, but the vet is going to be able to find things you cant see with your naked eye. They will examine the eyes, the ears, listen to the heart to detect defects like murmurs ect and it may cost you a little bit to have them out but they can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars in the long run by steering you clear of animals that have physical ailments that are going to be issues in their care. I always suggest a vet exam before ANY taking on any horse. This is the story that I hear that almost always leads to the same sad ending. So-and-so had this horse and I felt so sorry for it and they were giving it away and I just fell in love with it. Its not broke or its green broke. Right now its in there kicking the stall doors off, coming at me with teeth bared and yesterday it tried to remove my head with its back feet when I went into feed it.Why? What am I doing wrong? Thats not to say all FREE horses are bad because they are not. Some are great but some are other peoples problems OR have problems because the people getting rid of it didnt invest the time into keeping it well mannered. They may have just let it run free and over them till it has behavior issues. When people finally face the reality that they really dont have the time nor resources to care for one, they have often already done damage to the horses training and socialization skills. A horse is only worth as much as its training in my book. Training is like location in real estate. TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING and often a well trained, pleasant, good mannered horse does NOT come cheap. They are what everyone is looking for. So if you are to take the gamble on the freebie, be aware that you could probably be investing in a trainer BEFORE you are going to get to enjoy it. And if you are just starting out with horses, a horse fresh out of training is NOT the horse you need. That horse is for an intermediate to advanced rider who is going to further develop the animal instead of unknowingly ruin its training. And if you are just starting out training a horse may be out of your range of skills. We could compare taking on a free horse to buying a fixer upper house. If you dont know anything about plumbing, electrical work or carpentry your going to end up paying a lot more to save a house in disrepair than just start off with what you actually need in the beginning. The fixer upper horse is the same. I dont care if its the most beautiful horse you have ever laid eyes on IF it has a nasty disposition or a firecracker temperament this is NOT a beginners horse because these issues need professional attention and can be dangerous to deal with. This is an expensive and dangerous trap many new horse buyers fall into, and just like the house, it can be an absolute money pit. I would encourage anyone getting into horses to find a good rider to go with them to check out the animal. Do NOT get a horse that is not broke as your first horse please. I know it can be tempting but it is a very common mistake people make. A beginner needs a horse that is well behaved, has been there and done that, and is going to be forgiving of newbie mistakes. Take you a good riding buddy and test out the horses BEFORE you pick. And NEVER get a horse you havent had the courage to get on at the sellers house. This is another huge mistake people make. They get something to ride, that they wont ride. It isnt going to be any better at home in fact the horse behavior may go down hill for a couple weeks as it adjusts to its new surroundings. Having a friend who will get on first and make sure the horse acts as advertised is a great idea. Then you take a ride and let them watch the horse from the ground to see how it looks and to watch for any visible signs of disrespect or unwillingness to being ridden by an unconfident rider. If you dont know someone personally to take some barns advertise exercise riders and such you can hire to come with you and give you an honest opinion on the animals handling. Never trust anyones word on an horse. They lie. And if its a bad horse they have even more reasons to lie to you. So evaluate it yourself. Let your common sense over ride your heart and eyes too. There is a saying, you cant ride pretty and thats truth. I would rather put a beginner on an old swayed back horse with a motherly heart who is half blind than on a 4 year old hot head who looks like he just strutted of the cover of Horse Illustrated. You have to be honest completely with yourself about your abilities. You will not be able to lie to the horse. If you buy outside of your skill you will regret it as soon as it comes time to start actually enjoying the horse. No horse is perfect. They all have issues of some sort or another. They all need to be worked . But as a newbie you do not have the skill or the knowledge to keep you safe on a more rambunctious or control a more dominant animal. You need to start safe & dependable. Doing otherwise will result in a lot of painful, expensive regrets and very little enjoyment. |
Very well said! If your scared to ride it at the sellers house... Your going to be just as scared to ride it at your own. I have seen many many people purchase horses cause they are pretty and they never ride them because they are scared of the horse. Common sense is a very beneficial thing to have! |
Nicely said HerdBound. I have a question for you though. In a few years, I am moving to a country that has no regard for horses as anything more than on a racetrack. When we move there, it will be my first opportunity to own a horse. The problem is, I have been doing my homework and all there are on offer are OTTB's or horribly abused animals (some that rarely see the light of day). There are a few rescue centre's - run by non-locals - but nowhere I have seen to actually purchase a good 'been there done that' horse that a beginner would need. What does one do in such a situation? Import costs are far too high to consider as well. |
Turndial, perhaps you could volunteer at the rescue get yourself known and build your own knowledge until you're at the point where you can handle more horse. Herd bound great post! |
I agree with you! Part of the problem lies with people thinking they are more experienced than they are. Recently there was a court case where a woman went to try a 'free' horse. The owner had sent it to someone to get rid of for free, and he advertised the gelding as a problem horse, stating that it could really buck for no apparent reason. The woman rode it and the horse dropped her on the way back to the stables and then trod on her face. She tried to sue for damages (she has had major reconstruction on her face) It was refused in the first and appeal court, judges stating that anyone getting on such a horse is taking a risk and is therefore responsible for their own safety. |
Great post. This rings of 'Three months ago my horse was well mannered and lovely to ride when I bought him, now he bucks me off or rears all the time etc' I bought Duffy last June. I didn't realise at the time how much work it was. I would NEVER buy a skinny horse again. Sorry, but I can't deal with the tears, and the money and work it requires. I love my mare to bits, but 9 months down the line, its been so much hard work and unpredicatble. Also, there is the thing that people buy these horses that need fixing up seem lovely, and then when they get fitter the personality change is astounding. Or the health problems that come with it. There are plenty of horses out there, you just need to take the time to find the right one. |
I posted a news article about this and we had a sort of mini debate about what is right and wrong, the dangers of trying 'free' horses etc !!:lol: |
DuffyDuck I think it is great that you did put the effort into bringing one back...that is awesome! BUT for someone who is just starting out bringing one back that is poor or down in weight can be overwhelming. It is a long, tedious, and has to be done exactly right or you can kill the horse easily :( PLUS as you mentioned a starved down horse acts a lot different than one who is healthy. If you take on a starved horse who is weak and thus acts calm and docile once he feels good again you may find out you are in way over your head. A "project horse" like that is not for a beginner. I feel sorry for the starved, neglected horses just as anyone else does but you really need to know a lot about equine nutrition and general health in order to save one...that usually comes from owning and caring for horses for awhile. I am sure there are some lovely "free" horses out there BUT I think for a beginner it is better to save up your money until you can afford a well trained, well mannered animal, even if it takes you longer than you would like. It is soooo worth the investment. |
I will have to admit, I jumped the gun when it came to buying my first horse. I was so excited and let me heart get in the way of my head. I drove three hours in the evening to Ohio to see Freedom. Rode her in this girl's backyard trying to avoid the volleyball net, trampoline, treehouse, and tree. The poor horse was kept in a garage with no bedding, no hay, and no other horses. I couldn't walk away. She was definitely not a newby's horse, but I couldn't leave and say no. Two weeks later, she was UTD and passed coggins and on her way to PA. I will have had her for three months on the 17th and must say she's been a lot of work and a lot of money, but it has been worth it! I've tapped into my savings and have been budgeting myself a little more, but when she comes up to me and just nuzzles me, it's like she's saying thank you and it melts my heart. |

text: I have began to creat a home checklist that has estimated values of all variations of cards. I am wondering if anyone else has created one, and if so could they share it with the rest of us? I know mine is not perfect, but it is a start. I am a variation hunter and enjoy hunting down carded variations, so I am sure that there are some variations out there that I do not have on my list. I think that having a checklist on your own cpu is just easier than having to put one online. Any questions or comments would be greatly appreciated thanks, and if anyone wants a copy of my checklist e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and put checklist in the subject line. I will e-mail back a copy, it is in excel format so you will need that. thanks,

On such a summer day? It is finally summer and I find myself craving avocados alot. Last night as I was roaming the aisles of the grocery store, pondering what to make and searching for inspiration...I kept coming back to this comfort food sandwich that my mother makes quite frequently. The combination of the creamy avocado with the juicy grilled chicken breast is delicious. So I made it last night for dinner and again for lunch today. Problem is...I still want more avocado...
A couple weeks ago, Lore of Culinarty tagged me to write a 6 word memoir. Even as I sit here poised to write it, I am uncertain of what to say....
Critical (mostly of myself)
I am not going to tag anyone but if you are interested...consider yourself tagged!
Mom's California Sandwich
1 chicken breast
2 tablespoons of white worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 of an avocado, sliced
1 poppy seed bun
mayo to taste and preference
1. Marinate chicken breast for at least an hour with the worcestershire sauce and rosemary.
2. Grill chicken breast.
3. Toast bun.
4. Spread bun with mayo and place slices of avocado.
5.Top with Chicken Breast and top of bun.
6. Slice and eat!
P.S. As the summer takes off, so does my life. I am finishing my job, going to Ireland on vacation, moving to Chicago and starting law school...all the while trying to find as much time to spend with my friends and family as possible. This will limit my blogging but I will post when I have a chance...just a warning, if I go quiet, it is not for lack of thinking of you all...but life is getting busy. Of course, I will continue to read your posts because really nothing goes better with my morning coffee than a slew of tempting and mouthwatering dishes...

May 7, 2014 BOISE, Idaho - Boise State University's football and women's golf teams have earned Public Recognition Awards from the NCAA for having multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores in the top-10 percent of their respective sports. The full APR report, which will include scores for all teams, will be released by the NCAA next Wednesday (May 14). For the football team, today's announcement marks the fourth-straight year the Broncos have received this national award. Boise State, along with Clemson, Duke, Northwestern and Rutgers, are the only Football Bowl Subdivision teams to score in the top-10 percent each of the past four years. This is the first time the women's golf program has received a Public Recognition Award from the NCAA. Following the 2013 fall semester, the women's golf team had the highest grade-point average amongst Boise State athletic programs with a 3.65 average, and has recorded the department's highest GPA in each of the last four semesters. Women's golf and football have the only student-athletes with consecutive semesters achieving 4.00 GPAs. Sammie Pless has posted a 4.00 the past three semesters as a member of the women's golf team, and wide receiver D.J. Dean has two-consecutive semesters with a 4.00 GPA as a member of the football team. "As a department and university, we are very proud of the academic success football, women's golf and all our sports continue to achieve," Boise State Director of Athletics Mark Coyle stated. "These results are a direct result of the hard work not only by our student-athletes, but by the coaches and academic staff in our department, as we prepare our young people for success after they graduate from Boise State." Boise State was one of only two football programs in the Mountain West to be recognized (Utah State), and its women's golf team was one of three such programs honored from the league (Fresno State and New Mexico). In the past seven APR reports, the football program has had the top score in its conference, the last two as a member of the MW and the previous five as a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation, providing a measure of each team's academic performance. |

Oahu, Hawaii: How to Have a Great Time with Little Cash!
Friday, November 23rd, 2007Flight and accommodations have been paid for and now your wallet is feeling a little light? No problem. Here's how to spend a week in
5. As to Wal*Mart, there is no better place to buy cheap souvenirs, bathing suits, towels, and other beach essentials you may have forgotten in your rush to get away from the snow. But if you can't get there, an ABC store is always near by and they are well stocked with oodles of clothing and sundries.
Or go to the Waikiki Town Centre or the Waikiki Mall for more free hula shows. Excellent entertainment and it's all free.
Hint: If you can afford to splurge at least once, you must budget $12 for a plate of garlic shrimp from Giovanni's shrimp truck in Haleiwa. Absolutely delicious! Sign his truck while you are there.
And there you have it! If you can't have a good time in
Best advice: Use sun screen or budget your time in the hot Hawaiian sun. After all, do you really want to lose 2-3 days to a nasty sunburn? That's one terrible and completely unnecessary price to pay.

Chris Potter (2002) | |
Born in Chicago on New Year's Day 1971 and moving to Columbia, South Carolina as an infant, the prodigious youngster began fooling around on guitar and piano at the age of three. He took up the alto sax at the age of ten and played on his first jazz gig at the age of 13. But his eclectic musical education really began with his personal investigation of his parents' record collection. Spanning everything from Bach to Schoenberg, and gamelan music to the Beatles, Chris explored it all avidly, taking a special interest in albums by Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck.
When piano legend Marian McPartland first heard Chris at 15 years old (an encounter that eventually led to his contract with Concord Records in 1994), she told his father that Chris was ready for the road with a unit such as Woody Herman's. But finishing school was a priority and by the time he graduated, he was playing alto, tenor and soprano saxophone, bass clarinet and alto flute. At 18 Potter moved to New York to study at the New School, and then Manhattan School of Music. There he formed a lasting friendship with one of his professors, pianist Kenny Werner, later making a duet recording together. He also re-connected with trumpet great Red Rodney, with whom he had played earlier at a jazz festival in Columbia. He spent four important years with Rodney, honing his skills at the side of the bebop heavyweight, until shortly before Red's passing in 1994. Graduating from Manhattan in 1993, Potter began a long series of sideman activities with top names like the Mingus Big Band, Paul Motion, Ray Brown, Jim Hall, James Moody, Dave Douglas, Mike Mainieri and many more. After playing on Marian McPartland's 1993 Concord recording, In My Life, the adventurous saxophonist became a surprising member of the Concord roster, eventually recording five CDs for the label, as well as the aforementioned duo with Werner. His final Concord CD, 1998's Vertigo, was named one of the year's top ten CDs by both Jazziz and The New York Times. Chris also performed on Steely Dan's Grammy-nominated, gold album Two Against Nature, touring with them in 1994, which also resulted in the live CD, Alive in America. Potter received his own Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Solo for his work on Joanne Brackeen's Pink Elephant Magic. And he's the youngest recipient ever to receive the annual Danish Jazzpar Prize. Although he's performed extensively with the incredible bassist/composer Dave Holland's various ensembles, Potter has been performing all over the world with his own groups since the release of Gratitude early 2001. He has performed all over Europe (including Paris, London, Florence and the North Sea Festival), Canada (festivals in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver) and in top clubs in the U.S. as well as a featured performance at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Following a European tour with Steve Swallow's Trio in December 2001, Potter recorded Traveling Mercies in January, 2002, before taking his quartet out on a West Coast tour in February. In March and April, he toured the U.S. with Holland's and Dave Douglas' quintets respectively, and in the fall, he began his extensive touring with his own group, working throughout the U.S. in September and October, and in Europe during November and December. Multi-reedman/composer Chris Potter is often cited by critics, musicians, and a steadily increasing number of fans as the finest saxophonist of his generation. Like most young jazz musicians, Chris is well schooled in the masters. His critically acclaimed 2001 album, Gratitude (Verve) pays tribute to many of those titans who've influenced him, including John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, Eddie Harris, Wayne Shorter, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Ornette Coleman and Charlie Parker. But like many other of his contemporaries in and out of jazz, Chris' musical influences come from many and varied sources. "My aesthetic is based in Bird and Lester Young and Sonny [Rollins]. I want my music to have that emotional impact. What I learned from them in terms of phrasing, sound, approach to rhythm will never be outdated. I would like to basically use the same aesthetic sensibility with more contemporary harmonic and rhythmic concepts, being influenced by classical, world music, funk, rock, rap, country, whatever...digesting new ideas, new influences to keep the freshness alive." Along with limitless creativity, a vibrant sense of swing, and a full awareness of past, present and future, that broad-based musical sensibility has brought Chris into the line of vision of a diverse and heady array of artists, including James Moody, Jim Hall, Marian McPartland, Dave Douglas, Larry Carlton, Steely Dan, and Dave Holland, with whom Chris has been performing regularly since 1999. "Each band leader, each great musician I've had the chance to work with has inspired me in a certain way...Without all those experiences I don't think I'd be ready to be doing this now." The "this" to which he refers, is leading his own ensemble, an endeavor that has been consistently bringing him greater acclaim and new fans all over the world. An unabashedly rhythmic player, Chris' most recent CD Traveling Mercies, his second for Verve, is a groove-oriented date that makes no sacrifices or compromises in the quest for musical integrity and communication with his audience. "I want people to dance if they can, to feel the music and not think of it as something complicated and forbidding. I want to be communicating something. You can do that and not sacrifice anything artistically." |

Gastropods is the group of molluscs that includes the snails. Many types secrete a single coiled or uncoiled shell for protection, and these shells may be found as fossils. Some species spend their lives crawling along the sea floor, eating algae or debris from rocks and bottom sediments. Others are predatory and feed on other molluscs such as clams and oysters by drilling with a "radula" or rasping tongue.
Most of the Cretaceous gastropod fossils from the Canal are internal casts (steinkerns). They are difficult to identify, and most can only be assigned to a family or genus. Gastropods are abundant in the spoils from the Mount Laurel Formation on both sides of the Canal in the vicinity of Reedy Point.

The tiny mobile phones most of us carry in our pockets every day contain as much processing power as a laptop computer did a decade ago–yet almost no one takes advantage.
Fewer than 5% of U.S. mobile subscribers conducted a Web search or tried to pull up a map on their phones in February, according to research firm M:Metrics. Users fear a huge cell phone bill (few subscribers are on the flat rate all you can eat data plans that work best with mobile computing) or shy away from the slow, confusing process of accessing information through their phone company's Web interface.
But there are plenty of cheap, easy and useful mobile applications out there. We've identified eight products that take great advantage of today's mobile technology, and let you use your mobile phone for everything from downloading traffic maps to bidding on auctions.
Take, for example, Simulscribe and SpinVox–two startups that transcribe your voice-mails and send them to you via text message or e-mail. The service allows users to keep in touch during meetings or other situations where you can't listen to the phone, and saves users from the pain of listening to long, rambling voice messages. None of the four top U.S carriers–T-Mobile,
Simulscribe and SpinVox are subscription services. But the good news is that most top-notch mobile applications, are free and multipurpose, like the Swiss army knife that is
The service will occasionally spit back a bunch of answers without the one you were looking for–like the locations of all the Thai restaurants in the neighborhood, except the one you wanted, because you spelled its name incorrectly. But that still beats trying to navigate, run and load pages in a not-ready-for-prime-time mobile Web browser.
Mobile browsers are getting better, but can be a pain, especially if you aren't paying for an ultra speedy cellular data connection. Most of the mobile applications we like ditch the browser in favor of text messages, or consist of small pieces of software that make their way to your phone via a one-time download.
We like the wide selection of bite-sized, downloadable software from mobile widget platforms like Mobio and Nokia's
Some mobile applications are worth checking out, but didn't make our final list of must-haves–particularly mobile video applications. While we like efforts from software companies like Orb, Sling and One True Media that bring video to your phone, we're not big on those that make you pay extra. Or Verizons partnership with Googles YouTube–it doesnt allow access to all YouTube videos, so whats the point?
We also passed on recommending Yahoo!'s

GOSHEN — A City of Newburgh man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Orange County Court to his role in a robbery that ended in a shooting. The victim in the case is now quadriplegic.
Malcolm Rich, 23, pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery. Rich admitted in court that he called the victim about buying drugs, but the intent was to set the man up for a robbery.

Rich remains jailed pending sentencing on Aug. 15.
