1990s Vintage 90s Colorblock Reebok Oversized XL Graphic Green Hip Hop Rap Rapper Windbreaker Jacket
Out of stock
Vanguard Vintage sells authentic vintage garments (unless stated otherwise), the label sizes vary greatly from those of modern clothing sizes.
Vintage garments, particularly older ones (predating the 1960s) are typically not labelled at all. Modern sizes are not uniform or universal as they vary greatly between different brands and designers. Your best bet when buying vintage is to take your measurements and compare them to the detailed measurements provided in each listing.
We suggest you measure (in inches) a similar garment you already own and know fits you well, in the same way we measure our garments and then compare the dimensions. We measure our garments laying flat in inches.
We give a suggested garment size on each item. This is an estimated suggestion only. Please refer to the measurements to ensure fit.
Vanguard Vintage sells authentic vintage garments (unless stated otherwise), the majority of vintage items are used and as such show varying signs of their previous lives. Due to the unique nature of vintage clothing, there may be minor imperfections and small repairs. Although we do our best to note any major flaw that we find we may miss trivial ones or ones that are characteristic of garments of a particular age and era.
Here at Vanguard we use a three prong condition rating scale to keep things simple.
We found no holes, stains, or repairs. The garment has been well cared for and there are no issues to note.
The item appears slightly worn, for example has very minor fading, or a tiny repair which is not in an obvious place.
The item appears worn and has obvious flaws; however it is collectible, rare or very old and as such desirable. Signs of wear may contribute to the history of the piece; as in vintage military clothing, or to the style of a piece; as in a rock tee with obvious holes. These flaws will be included in the product description.

Milford's very young boys basketball team lost their season opener Tuesday night to St. Elizabeth's by a score of 52-48.
Milford's very young boys basketball team lost their season opener Tuesday night to St. Elizabeth's by a score of 52-48. No one's happy with an opening loss, but there was some encouraging signs sprouting from the highly competitive game."
"We do have young team right now, after losing players to graduation, and we have a few injuries that we are working through," said Milford coach B.J. Joseph.
"We only have two seniors on the varsity at the moment, but all of the players are working hard and starting to pull together," he said.
The Buccaneers feature a young and inexperienced squad, which features two freshmen, one sophomore, six juniors and only two seniors on the roster. Time will definitely be a factor as the team works to build chemistry on and off the court.
In the loss to The Vikings, Milford stayed even at 11 apiece through the first quarter. Through the second quarter, the team continued to play well and building a two-point lead at 20-18.
The balance play continued into the second half but the Bucs began to have trouble with St. E's senior Andre Patton and Mike Piekarski, and by the end of the third quarter, the Viking led by a slim margin, 33-31.
After a hard fought effort, Milford was outscored in the final period and fell to St. E's 52-48.
"We were right there. Near the end, Octavion Wilson had a lay-up, but unfortunately he was called for a charge. That play would have put us up, but it could have gone either way," said Joseph.
"This was only our first game, but I saw a lot of good plays out there tonight, so we will definitely get better as the season progresses and everybody gets healthy," he said.
Milford showed a balanced offensive attack, which was led in scoring by juniors Wilson and Tikeace Harris, who each netted 11 points. Senior Jalen Steven contributed ten points and Vance Daniels netted 9 points in the closely contested game. The Vikings were led by Patton, who's also an all-state football player. He led all scorers with 29 points. Patton's teammate Piekarski added 11 points in a wining effort. Daniels, Harris and Garrett Coverdale each had a three-pointer for Milford. Piekarski, Brandon Gautier and Ryan Cason also had three pointers for the Vikings.
The 0-1 Buccaneers next game is Friday night on the road against Sussex Tech. Opening tip-off is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.

Desktop Configurability: Is More Better?
One of the oft-recurring debates on KDE mailing lists is, how configurable should
do both !
why not do both ?
just have a configuration option named "expert" which would allow
that being said if I'd be forced to choose between the two
By anonymous coward at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
Very good idea
By Shift at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
Make the interface simple for novices but leave the option to configure everything for expert users. If the normal kcontrol modules become too crowded, add s.th. like Win PowerToys (is that what it was called) but include it in the KDE default installation. This way novice users can use KPersonalizer/KControl for standard options and experts can play with all possible settings in an extra module.
By Anonymous at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
I would go for the microsoft way:
A KControl panel, with only minimal day-to-day configuration options and a KExpertUserControl, where you could do all the dirty and superfluous configuration.
The only problem is the interoperability of the two pannels...
By zelegans at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
The big problem is, what exactly are "day-to-day configuration options"? This whole "less is better" meme fails to grasp the fact that you don't configure stuff on a daily basis. I've touched the Windows control panel twice in the last year. I touch the KDE control panel only to change styles and backgrounds.
The stuff that is used most often should be easier to access and understand, such as changing your background and styles. But don't hide away the other stuff. If you think the current control panel is difficult, consider how much worse it will be with TWO control panels! If your distro absolutely has to have a dumbed down interface, then write a dumb control center for that distro, without forcing it on the rest of the world.
By David Johnson at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
Yes, I understand your point.
I don't want a dumbed down interface, I want an interface that is minimal and elegant.
For example, there are at least 3 locations in kcontrol that set font properties. It is cool and (I must admit, sometimes usefull) that you have this much flexibility, but is it necessary and convenient for 90% of potencial KDE users? I don't know.
I'm not advocating that KDE should be a "one button washing machine" like the mac, I'm just trying to make the point that things should be kept as simple and coherent as reasonably possible.
If, to keep both camps happy, a PowerKControl and a LameKControl have to coexist... well, I have no final position on the issue ;)

Hey, I just wrote KNewbieControl, especially for you:

Re: do both !
Actually, it's pretty cool that this sort of thing is possible. Fancy writing a quicky tutorial about the options? We can add it to the dot tutorial series.
By Richard Moore at Fri, 2003/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
> writing a quicky tutorial about the options
I'm afraid there isn't much to say about the options. Just do a "kcmshell --list". Of course, the whole idea can easily be used in a *.desktop file that can be put anywhere in /home/grandma/.kde/share/applnk so that it appears in the menu:
[Desktop Entry]
PS: /bin/sh is only used to make use of shell globbing. :-)

Re: do both !
Clearly there are a lot of nice things that is possible to do just with at single command line. This need to be documented somewhere.. Such things opens up the possibilites for system administrators to make life easier for their users...
By Mats at Fri, 2003/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
They tried this in GNOME (Nautilus) with user levels and registry-editors (UGH) but I think decided it didn't work and nobody liked it. Why not do like the Mac and put Advanced options in a separate Tab? KDE does that already I think. I like the way KDE is already anyway.
By ac at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
Why would anybody want that?
There is no such thing as a general "novice". Some people are novices in one area and experts in others.
I'm a programmer and have used computers for over 10 years intensively. Yet I'm sure that some secretary who won't touch computers unless forced will need more configuration options in KWord than me.
But in that "user level" scheme the secretary would be classified as "novice" and would only get a tiny subset of configuration options. So the secretary can either switch to "expert"-mode, live with workarounds because she can't find the config options or not use KDE at all.
Forget "user levels". It's a stupid idea.
By Roland at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
The problem is that every user has a different idea of what the 'essential' configuration items are. For instance an old-style X user will go mad until
By Richard Moore at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
Well, if you guys don't think that people will agree to what the essential config items are,. maybe what we need is a way to let everyone configure which items should be essential and which are "advanced" config options...
...and that way we would have one more thing to tinker with and configure!!!!
Honestly, I like it the way it is, some config pages could be a bit more polished, but other than that it's fine with me. It's KDE, not gnome, not Windows, or anything else... let it be what it is...
Cheers from Uruguay, South America
By Phantom at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
LOL! Instead of deciding whether or not KDE should be configurable, let's just put in an option to make it configurable or not!
I hope you see the irony in this suggestion :-)
Myself, I think that KDE is too configurable already. However, there is no going back. I think KDE should continue in the direction it is going, and continue to add options. When it gets too complex, a new project may decide to simplify KDE and pare it down to the bare minimum. With all the great code that is being written for KDE, such a simplified system would be able to include lots of cool functionality but focus on simplifying the interface as much as possible. Wouldn't that be cool?
By not me at Fri, 2003/02/21 - 6:00am
Do NOT do both !
Please, do not make different user levels!
If you add different user levels you get to the situation where, once you have learned how everything works it all suddenly changes and you have to start all over. Instead you should be able to continually refine your skills (until you become Schumacher) according to the car analogy). The user levels idea has also been discussed and rejected by the KDE usability project:
Pick up a few books on UI (Nielsen, Norman and Raskin comes to mind) to find out more.
By anon at Fri, 2003/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
This would be the right way!
By Dirk at Fri, 2003/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: do both !
I totally agree on the point of an "expert mode", I have thougt about it before.

Totally agree
I totally agree with this.
I want configuration everywhere :)
When I look at the Windows exemple. A big part of the persons I know and who has used Windows for years just used the default options of Windows. So when they need to work on a DOS shell the write all the path and all the name of the commands. I show them the hidden option in regedit for getting auto-completion and they say "Woooow !! I don't know this option. It could have save me much time in the past". After that they all want to get more tweak on their system and modified regedit database... but on day a bad option has crashed their system.
Please, don't follow the Gnome Guideline. Now Gnome2 unfortunnately sucks a lot regarding to Gnome1.4 :(

Re: Totally agree
Firstly, please, GConf is NOT like Regedit. Regedit is a mass af unintelligible keys. GConf is very understandable and wuite verbose. Stuff like, Nautilus theme, etc.
The point is it is a bad idea to make a user interface too configurable. Make it good so that configuring it is minor. Things that should be configured are font sizes and maybe colors and in the extreme Window decorations. OS X is not the most configurable GUI in the world but people love it. Follow that instead of the more is more thing. It only creates an unnecessarily complex DE without improving the experience.
If you don't like the Gnome paradigm, don't flame it and diss it. Get KDE and be happy with it. Some of us keep both and like different things about the 2.
By Maynard at Fri, 2003/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: Totally agree
I agree fully. GConf is nothing like the Windows registry. It may be centralised (which is a good thing), but it is fully text-based (XML). It is not very different from the KDE config file system, but it is far more structured and consistent. Because it is centralised, it is far easier to manage settings, either by hand (via a humble text editor), or via a config tool like the gconf-editor.
The beauty of the GNOME system is that you are able to put only the most important options in the graphical prefs menus, without limiting the overall configurability of the app. This should be sufficient for most users. If you want to tinker, you can access the GConf database directly. This isn't very difficult to do (it's far easier than editing the Windows Registry), and hopefully it will discourage complete newbies from wrecking their systems (people who deliberately launch the gconf-editor should know what they are getting themselves into).
I am not saying that GNOME should be inflexible and spartan. I am simply saying that there needs to be a balance between this and a bewildering array of options.

Who is the target?
I agree with mosfet.
The target for removing options is some phb somewhere who wants to dictate what his users do. Let them use the kiosk tools then. Leave the options to those who want them.
Or some "usability study" that takes a new user, who is confused by the options. Is the answer to take options away? Or set a reasonable default, let the commonly changed options be quick and easy to access, while leaving the fine tuning in an expert section.
It may be that the organisation of the options could be better. Bubble help (is that what it's called?) on the options and categories would be nice.

Re: Who is the target?

No, too many options also hurt the users who search for an option. Obviously it is easier to find an option if there are only 10, than to find it among 10 million other options... the categorization can help somewhat, but where do you, for example, find the 'smart window open' policy in Konqueror? Behaviour or JavaScript?
By Tim Jansen at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: Who is the target?
Your point is very astute wrt Behavio(u)r. IMHO it shouldn't be in the Konqueror dialog box at all. Almost anything could fit under that rubric.
By Antiphon at Fri, 2003/02/21 - 6:00am
Re: Who is the target?
>where do you, for example, find the 'smart window open' policy in Konqueror? Behaviour or JavaScript?
I've never had to look for it. The default is reasonable. Just a minute, that isn't true. I had the occasion to frequent a site (which was necessary for my work) that required pop-up windows enabled. So I had to search for the configuration option. It wasn't too hard to find.
The original article that mosfet was responding to made the point that many options are work-arounds for faulty code, ie. disable animations to make computer usable.
How many of the kde configuration options are of that nature?
How many speed complaints would disappear if the default configuration didn't have all the animations and stuff that take up cpu cycles?

Re: Who is the target?
Exactly so. This is exactly what many people forget. =)
Expert mode
I agree with the general trend expressed so far: two much information gets to be confusing to the average user. A clean solution for KDE would be to have an overall "expert mode" that you can switch on or off. And add to the kdelibs a flag to let developers determine what menues/options are general and which are "advanced". A user running in "normal mode" only sees a few basic options/menues, and the "expert mode" user sees everything.
The other crucial issue is to set sensible DEFAULT users. Most computer users NEVER ever tweak.
Cheers !
By NewMandrakeUser at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: Expert mode
Crucial issues is good DEFAULTs, yes.
But hide completely options unless in overall Expert mode, no. Leave it all there but organize it so that the non-expert options are first and the expert options are in Advanced tab.
By ac at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: Expert mode
KControl IS the expert mode already, use context sensitive configuration available in many programs as well as on the desktop and the kicker and you have a limited, context related set of settings.
And it's not like KControl is jumping into the face of those who never ever tweak. =P

The "one true way"
I believe in "one true way"! IMO most usability issues have a one true way that will make things usable for the majority of people. If KDE could come set with defaults that make it usable for the majority of users than it will be a fabulous desktop environment.
I also agree with Mosfet that one of KDE's strengths is it's configurability. HOWEVER! Average users find the sheer number of options in KControl opressive and intimidating. Even I was a little scared at first and I still find it a little hard to find options sometimes, I know I found them once, but I can't for he life of me find them now!
My point is, perhaps a good solution is to have a slightly less full COPY of the controlcenter (as well as the current one) that has the options an average user wants to change, basically an equivalent of dekstop properties in Windows with a few more sections such as accessability and region settings. The tabs in controlcenter-lite should be EXACTLY the same as the ones in controlcenter, there's just less of them. If they're not the same then you're asking people to learn two different configuration systems and that is not a usable solution.
Sorry if this has been suggested before. I know people are working on a registry editor type system for advanced options for KDE, but having read Mosfet's essay I realise I don't agree with that line of thinking. Nobody wants to ruin KDE, we just want to make it more usable for the majority. Maybe what I suggested would work, what do others think?
"You can productively use KDE without ever knowing about how you can configure, for example, menu drop shadows or window decorations." - This is true and why we should keep the control center full of options, most people will probably never stray there and be happy to use an environment that is usable by default. But, everyone wants to change their Windows style every now and again.

The solution is to beef up the keywords and the search panel. In Windows XP, I find searching for options works quite well in their help system. In an ideal world, I would type proxy in the search tab and get a first item defining what is a proxy and several items for modifying your proxy. In KDE, you have to click on the proxy module and then on help to get a basic definition of what is proxy. All the work of the documenter is more or less hidden.
There is much room for improvement in KDE to offer to the user information in a hierarchical way : General to particular, simple to complex, short to long. It would be nice if some developper work on that for 3.2 with the help of the usability team.
By Charles de Miramon at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: The "one true way"
Well, it'd help if people actually used the search tab too -- for some reason it seems like people always seem to not notice it, while it can help find the relevant things quickly much of the time.

Re: The "one true way"
> I believe in "one true way"!
If there is a "one true way", and KDE miraculously find out what is the "one true way" for everything, the "one true way" will just be the default.
So the defaults are perfect and nobody will ever care about how "bloated" the configuration is because nobody will ever see it.
So why can't all the self-proclaimed "usability - dumb down everything - experts" go away and bother somebody else?

Few things in KDE I'd like to be configurable
(they are not right now)
1) I'd prefer, for example, to have to possibility to choose in what folder
2) I'd prefer to be able to have a plug-in mechanism for file folder
3) I'd like to be more "standard" icons for folders, like "bin folder" icon, "photos folder icon", "development", etc. They are in different icon themes, but they are inconsistent accross different icon themes.
4) I'ld like to have badges for folders or files like in Nautilus.
5) I'd like that "Home URL" be different between filemanagement profile and web profile. In file namagement I should get my home, in web I should be my home page. Not quite the same thing.

Re: Few things in KDE I'd like to be configurable
There alread is a plugin mechanism for file forder views -- that's how the directory views in Konqueror work (and how the Cervisia directory works) since forever; these are just KParts for the inode/directory mimetype.
By SadEagle at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Re: Few things in KDE I'd like to be configurable
Well, perhaps you're looking for an "Emblems" feature, instead of icons for each folder type (becomes unwieldly to make icons for each occasion and type of contents)
By Rudd-O DragonFear at Mon, 2003/02/24 - 6:00am
it isnt configurabilty that makes kde hard to use
I dont think its the number of options that is the problem with the configurability of kde, its the interfaces that are used that makes it difficult and confusing to use. Having konqueror configuration options in the central configuration panel, scrollable side bars, etc make it difficult for me to use, even though I have grown somewhat accustomed to the use of it. I also find that they dont try to make the options on the sidebars of the configuration menus from easiest and most commonly configured to most complicated. Everything just seems here and there and until that is changed I think there will continue to be problems, and lessening the options a user has wont eliminate them.
By bonito at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
Minimalists need configurability!
Let GNOME go whatever way they've chosen, but one of the reasons why I ended up using great KDE instead of GNOME is THAT I CAN SWITCH OFF FLASHY STUFF I DON'T LIKE. I think KDE is well ahead in terms of user-friendlyness or usability, it allows newbies not to bother reading all the configurational stuff and start using KDE right away and gives them a chance to figure out what feature they might need and what annoys them. So does KDE give the expert the opportunity to configure everything in a way that performance ( i mean the user's ) is at max.
Honestly, I think this is the one and only way to follow! Minimalism does not mean to restrict!! KDE developers can be proud of the path they chosen so far!
By Udo at Thu, 2003/02/20 - 6:00am
flashy stuff in gnome?
you´ve got to be kidding me. the reason I use gnome is that I don´t think its GUI is as intrustive and "fancy"

Roy Franklin Worley joined his beloved wife, Sue in heaven on February 14, Valentine's Day, 2013. A memorial service for Roy will be at 2 p.m. Monday, March 25, 2013, at Trinity Baptist Church, 320 North Washington, Ardmore, Okla. Attendees will be given an opportunity during the service to briefly share a memory of Roy.
Roy was born in Ardmore, Oklahoma, on July 22, 1931, and lived in Ardmore all his life, except for a period in 1971-1972 when he and his family moved to Purcell, Okla. He was the youngest child of Albert and Maude Worley, and the brother of Gertrude Worley, Fern Landrum, Fay Gandy and Dan Worley, all who preceded him in death.
He married the love of his life, Sue Stewart, on February 7, 1951, in an early morning ceremony conducted by a one-armed Justice of the Peace in Gainesville, Texas. They remained married for 60 years until the passing of Sue in September of 2011. Roy and Sue raised two children: Glen who lives in Elgin, Texas, with his wife, Lisa and Carolyn who lives in Colorado Springs with her husband, Andrew Soeldner. Carolyn and Andrew are the parents of Roy's two grandchildren: Tomas Soeldner, age 15 and Lucas Soeldner, age 6.
Roy lettered in football and basketball before he graduated from Ardmore High School in 1949. He served in the National Guard and the Army Reserves and earned his Combat Infantry Badge when he was sent to Korea in 1951 as a Forward Observer of a mortar unit as part of Company H, 179th Regiment, 45th Division. After returning from Korea, he stayed in the Reserves and became a Second Lieutenant until his honorable discharge. In 1952, he started work at Exchange National Bank, now BancFirst, as a bank teller and eventually rose in the company until he retired as a Vice-President of the bank in 1994. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Roy served on the Ardmore School Board and presided over the school board during the time that Ardmore schools were integrated.
An avid Sooner football fan, he loved sports and was very athletic. In the 1960s, Roy won the city-wide bowling championship and, having conquered the bowling alley, switched his interest to golf, which he played until his struggle with cancer prevented him from getting out on the links. Roy was an active member of Trinity Baptist Church for over 50 years, where he served as a Sunday school teacher, choir member and a member of various church committees.
After retiring, Roy was a longtime volunteer at the Military Memorial Museum of Ardmore and for several years was the editor of their monthly newsletter, among other duties. He was very active in organizing reunions for the Ardmore Class of '49 and also for his army unit. He also became an amateur historian and was known for the presentations he gave on how Oklahoma got its borders and the Arlington National Cemetery. Roy, and Sue until her passing, acted as secretary for the Champion Station Homeowners Association until just before his death. He dearly loved music and musical performances and became known around town as one of the most avid Willie Nelson fans in Ardmore. He also supported the Goddard Center and attended many concerts there, as well as going to see musicals and performances in Dallas or Oklahoma City.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent in his name to the Military Memorial Museum, which is part of the Greater Southwest Historical Museum in Ardmore at 35 Sunset Drive, Ardmore, OK 73401.

"For a seventh consecutive month, the Samsung Galaxy S III is the most popular smartphone in the United Kingdom. The data compiled by uSwitch is based on live searches, pre-orders, as well as postpaid sales. Curiously, Apple's current smartphone flagship is not even second. The iPhone 5 is outperformed by its predecessor, whose lower price and improved contract offers helped it remain appealing. The Samsung Galaxy S II completes the quartet at the top. The rest of the top ten smartphones is entirely an Android party. It includes the Google Nexus 4, who entered the rankings a solid fifth. The second half of the top ten includes the Samsung Galaxy Ace, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Sony Xperia U, HTC One X, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2." This is getting ridiculous, and it's not good for the market. For the love of Fiona, people, buy something that's not Android. I don't want to live in an Android-dominated smartphone world.

Central scored early and often to put the kibosh on any Hornet heroics in rolling to a 49-7 victory.
When Valley Center and Andover Central squared off in last year's season opener at Andover District Stadium, the Hornets gave the Jags all they wanted. Valley took a one-point in the second quarter before losing by six.
Friday these same two teams kicked off the 2013 season, this time at Valley Center, with a dramatically different outcome. Central scored early and often to put the kibosh on any Hornet heroics in rolling to a 49-7 victory.
Jaguar coach Tom Audley attributes the difference from last year's game to the fact the Jaguars are more experienced and executed well right off the bat.
"We had a couple of big plays. I thought we played pretty well early," he said. "I think we got a pretty good football team."
Audley will get no argument from the Hornets. It was all Jaguars from the get-go as they lit things up with three first-quarter touchdowns.
After holding Valley Center to three-and-out on its first possession, Central's Kier Stamp rumbled in from 49 yards out on its first play from scrimmage. The first of seven extra points by Jace Peckham split the uprights for a 7-0 lead.
Another three-and-out gave the ball back to the Jags at the Hornets' 35. Following a six-yard completion from Blake Meier to Stamp, Lucas Milner gained 21 yards to the 8. Milner knifed his way into the end zone on the next play.
Central's next possession started at its 30 with a Meier incompletion, his only one of the game.
Milner picked up 18 yards on two straight carries before Meier connected with Ryan Banwart from 52 yards out for another TD. With 3:42 to play in the quarter, the Jags had taken control at 21-0.
The Jaguar defense stopped Valley's best early drive just shy of midfield, as the Hornets did not cross the 50 until early in the third quarter. From its 27, Andover Central scored in six plays. A 51-yard pass from Meier to Tyler Harris accounted for most of the yardage. Milner capped it off with his second TD of the game, this time from 5-yards out, three minutes into the second quarter.
Andover Central added a 2-yard scoring toss from Meier to Harris just two minutes before intermission for a 35-0 lead.
Before the crowd could settle back into their seats for the second half, Zach Lock electrified the Jaguar fans by returning the second-half kickoff 97 yards. He cut behind a beautiful block by Alex Johnson at the Valley 15 and dashed in for the score.
Central added another TD on a 56-yard run by Milner to make it 49-0 late in the quarter. The Jags did not score in the final quarter.
"I think we were physical on both sides," Audley said. "I like the way we rallied to the ball and got after people."
Andover Central had six plays of more than 49 yards, including Lock's kickoff return, and four of them went for touchdowns. Audley said he thought the Jaguars played well upfront, mentioning Sterling Brown, Jameson O'Connor, Taylor Hanna, Ryan Burkhart and Alex List in particular.
The Jaguars showed something that was missing most of last year: offensive balance. Behind Milner's 117 yards and three TDs on 11 carries, they ran for nearly 200 yards. Meier was 9 of 10 passing for 206 yards and a pair of scores. Banwart caught three passes for 89 yards and a TD.
"It was a good start, but we've got a ways to go," Audley said.

While Minnesota traffic fatality rates increased this year, Watonwan County reported a decrease in traffic fatalities, according to reports from the Department of Public Safety.
While Minnesota traffic fatality rates increased this year, Watonwan County reported a decrease in traffic fatalities, according to reports from the Department of Public Safety.
Traffic deaths in Minnesota increased to a preliminary figure of 378 in 2012, but DPS is projecting a final number at about 390 to be released in the early summer of 2013. This is up about six percent from last year and is attributed to an early spring which attracted motorcyclists, faster speeds and riskier driving.
"We can't forget the victims lost in these crashes, they are the reasons and reminders we all need to commit to safe driving behaviors in 2013," says Donna Berger, DPS Office of Traffic Safety director.
Results on fatalities occurring from individuals driving intoxicated have not yet been released, but annually drunk drivers account for nearly one third of Minnesota's traffic fatalities.
Preliminary DWI information indicates at least 300 people were arrested for DWI on New Year's Eve. One fatal crash did occur near Deer Creek, Minn., though it is unclear whether alcohol was a factor in that accident. There have been no alcohol related fatal accidents in Minnesota during the last four New Year's celebrations.
"New Year's remains a major celebration, and many people still put lives at risk on the holiday by making the dangerous decision to drink and drive," says Jean Ryan, DPS Office of Traffic Safety impaired driving coordinator. "Those who did not plan ahead for a sober ride and were arrested face serious consequences."
South Central Minnesota reported zero fatalities and zero DWI's over the New Year's weekend – with 18 fatal crashes resulting in 20 deaths and 157 DWI's throughout 2012.

Giants extend contracts for Sabean and Bochy through 2016
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- San Francisco Giants President and CEO Larry Baer today announced that the team has extended the contracts of Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Sabean and Field Manager Bruce Bochy through the 2016 season. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
Sabean, 56, has seen the club post a .537 winning percentage (1,392-1,198-1) during his tenure as General Manager. He is currently in his 17th year at the helm of the Giants, having guided the club to two World Championships (2010 and 2012), three National League pennants (2002, 2010 and 2012), five NL West Division flags (1997, 2000, 2003, 2010 and 2012), a Wild Card entry (2002) and forced a Wild Card tie-breaker game with Chicago in 1998.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- San Francisco Giants President and CEO Larry Baer today announced that the team has extended the contracts of Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Sabean and Field Manager Bruce Bochy through the 2016 season. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
Sabean, 56, has seen the club post a .537 winning percentage (1,392-1,198-1) during his tenure as General Manager. He is currently in his 17th year at the helm of the Giants, having guided the club to two World Championships (2010 and 2012), three National League pennants (2002, 2010 and 2012), five NL West Division flags (1997, 2000, 2003, 2010 and 2012), a Wild Card entry (2002) and forced a Wild Card tie-breaker game with Chicago in 1998.
"Brian has been the architect of one of the most successful periods in franchise history. He is a brilliant strategist who surrounds himself with some of the brightest minds in baseball - with Bruce Bochy topping that list," said Baer. "The Giants are very fortunate to have Brian and Bruce at the helm of our baseball operations and I look forward to more successful seasons in the coming years."
A 28-year veteran of professional baseball, Sabean's distinguished baseball pedigree has transformed San Francisco into the National League's third-winningest team over the past 16 seasons behind only Atlanta and St. Louis. Since Sabean assumed the GM reins at the end of the 1996 season, the Giants are one of only three teams in the Major Leagues that have been to the World Series three times or more since 1997 (also: Cardinals, 3 times and Yankees, 6 times) and are third in the National League with six post-season appearances in that span.
Honored as Major League Baseball's Executive of the Year by The Sporting News in 2003 and Baseball America in 2003 and 2012, Sabean has a proven track record in recognizing and developing highly regarded young talent. Of the 38 players on the Giants' 40-man roster, 21 are homegrown products who were either drafted or signed as amateurs by San Francisco - including 2012 National League MVP Buster Posey and 2012 World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval. The 2012 Championship rotation was comprised of four homegrown products in Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Ryan Vogelsong and Madison Bumgarner, as well as closer Sergio Romo.
Recently under Sabean's watch, the Giants' organization has received a number of prestigious awards, including the Topps Organization of the Year in 2009 and 2011 and the Baseball America Organization of the Year in 2010. These awards are given to Major League teams that show outstanding performance, depth and talent throughout their Major and Minor league teams.
During his tenure as GM, Sabean has acquired some of the game's best players via trades. They have included: Giants' All-Stars Jeff Kent, Jason Schmidt and Robb Nen, as well as standout per¬formers Ellis Burks, Joe Carter, Andres Galarraga, Kenny Loften, Jose Mesa and J.T. Snow. The Giants GM has been known to bring reinforcements during the July 31 trading deadline, acquiring the likes of Carlos Beltran, Burks, Javier Lopez, Hunter Pence, Freddy Sanchez, Schmidt, Marco Scutaro and Randy Winn.
Sabean's 17 years as the Giants architect is the longest run by a general manager in the club's history, surpassing Spec Richardson (seven seasons, 1975-81), Al Rosen (seven seasons, 1986-92) and Tom Haller (five seasons, 1981-85). He also owns the longest tenure with the same club among active general managers.
Before coming to San Francisco, Sabean served in the Yankees organization as director of scouting from 1986-90 and as vice president of player development/scouting from 1990-92. During that time, the Yankees' farm system became one of baseball's finest, featuring such players as Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera. From 1993 to 1994, Sabean served as Giants' senior vice president of player personnel. From 1994 to 1996, he served as the Giants' assistant to the general manager and vice president of scouting/player personnel.
Bochy, 57, completed his sixth season as the manager of the Giants after coming to the organization prior to the 2007 season. During his six-year tenure, the team has posted a 503-469 (.517) record and won two World Series Championships. In doing so, Bochy became just the 23rd manager in MLB history to win at least two World Series. In his two post-season appearances with SF, he has guided the club to a 22-9 (.710) record, including an 8-1 mark in World Series play.
One of baseball's most qualified and experienced managers, Bochy recently completed his 18th-consecutive year as a big league skipper, the longest stint by an active manager. Bochy is third among active big league skippers in wins (1,454) and is 23rd on the all-time list, while his six playoff appearances are tied for the second-most among current major league managers.
"In my opinion Bruce is the best manager in the game today and is on his way to a Hall of Fame career," said Sabean. "Bruce's ability to communicate with his players, his outstanding coaching staff and the front office, as well as his ability to brilliantly manage a game sets him apart from the rest. It has been a pleasure to work with him for the past six years and I look forward to the coming years ahead."
The winningest manager in San Diego history, Bochy spent 12 years at the helm of the Padres, compiling a 951-975 (.494) career ledger while leading his club to the post-season four times and posting five winning campaigns.
He was named the National League Manager of the Year by the BBWAA in 1996 and was honored as the league's top skipper by The Sporting News in both 1996 and 1998. He guided the Padres to the National League West title in 1996, '98, 2005 and '06, while leading the 1998 charge to a club-record 98 victories, a National League pennant and a berth in the World Series against the Yankees.
Bochy also served as San Diego's third base coach in 1993 and 1994, before matriculating to the manager's chair on October 21, 1994. The Poway, CA resident was the only uniformed person to be a part of all five of the Padres post-season appearances, including as a player in 1984 and as the manager in 1996, '98, 2005 and '06.
The Landes de Boussac, France native is just the fourth Giants manager to be born outside of the United States, joining Jack Doyle (Ireland) in 1895, Arthur Irwin (Canada) in 1896 and Felipe Alou (Dominican Republic) in 2003. Bochy's father was enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed in France at the time of the Giants manager's birth. Last season he became the all-time winningest foreign-born manager in major league history, surpassing Felipe Alou.
The Florida State University product spent parts of nine seasons in the majors as a catcher with the Astros, Mets and Padres. He hit .239 with 26 home runs and 93 RBI in 358 games. Bochy was a post-season participant twice as a player, appearing with the 1980 Astros and 1984 Padres.

The Atomic City Aquatics Club marched through the 2013 Long Course Southern Zone Senior Eastern Sectional Championships like Sherman through Georgia.
The Atomic City Aquatics Club marched through the 2013 Long Course Southern Zone Senior Eastern Sectional Championships like Sherman through Georgia.
The event, held in Athens, Ga., this year, displays the most talented swimmers in the entire Southeast. Kent Eldreth, Loki Hondorf, Luke Johnson, Jack O'Connor, Chandler Ott, Sam Schechter and Margaret Stansberry were the ACAC representatives who made the cut.
"This had to have been one of the greatest meets an ACAC Senior Group has ever had. These young men and women definitely earned the right to be called the best of the best," said Coach Mike Bowman.
Twenty four of ACAC's 36 swims were for best times. Kent Eldreth led the charge with 24th and 31st place finishes in finals. Loki Hondorf came home with 29th and 30th place finishes in finals. Chandler Ott and Margaret Stansberry swam times nearly identical to each other in the 200 IM, with each dropping about 4 seconds. Jack O'Connor and Sam Schechter tied for 43rd in the 50 Free, and Hondorf, Johnson, Ott and Stansberry also swam stellar 50 Free races.
Afterward, Coach Bowman was fired up. "This meet brings together some of the largest and most talented teams in the nation. For a team of our size to be represented by 7 swimmers at this advanced level is an impressive feat and a testament to this group of swimmers. This performance will inspire our entire team to continue to work hard, our coaches to continue to coach well, and ACAC to maintain a culture that builds champions. We expect big things in the years to come."

1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.
The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career.
This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards.
Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

A state parks naturalist will lead hikers on a "First Day Hike" at Minneopa State Park, near Mankato, on Tuesday, Jan. 1.
A state parks naturalist will lead hikers on a "First Day Hike" at Minneopa State Park, near Mankato, on Tuesday, Jan. 1.
Interested hikers should meet at the park's picnic shelter, near the waterfalls, at 10 a.m. Scott Kudelka, a Minneopa area naturalist, will lead hikers from the Upper Falls area down into the Minneopa Creek Gorge. Kudelka will discuss natural and historical points of interest.
The hike will involve moderate physical activity and walking on uneven, possibly slippery terrain. Hikers should wear shoes and clothing appropriate for outdoor weather, and bring drinking water. The hike will last about 90 minutes.
There is no charge to attend this event, but vehicles are required to have a permit ($5 daily or $25 year-round), which can be purchased at the park.
All state park systems in the U.S. will host "First Day Hikes" on New Year's Day as part of a nationwide initiative led by America's state parks to get people outdoors. The hikes offer an opportunity to get outside, exercise, enjoy nature and celebrate the holiday with friends and family. For more information, click here.
Minneopa State Park was established in 1905 and is the third oldest state park in Minnesota. The park features a scenic double waterfall that drops almost 40 feet. The historic walking bridge over the falls was recently reconstructed and is once again open to the public.
The park is located off U.S. Highway 169 and State Highway 68.
More information, including a virtual tour of the park, click here.
People can also call Scott Kudelka, 507-384-8890, or the DNR Information Center, 651-296-6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Lao People's Democratic Republic is one of the world's least developed countries. It is landlocked and mountainous, with significant parts of the country still inaccessible by road. More than two thirds of Laos' 6.9 million population live in rural areas which remain largely undeveloped.
Laos is ethnically diverse with a great variety of languages and customs: 49 ethnic groups are officially recognized by the government. Health, nutrition and literacy indicators of people living in remote areas of the country are significantly lower than national averages, particularly for women.
Food insecurity is widespread throughout the country and alarmingly high in rural areas. As WFP's Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis (CFSVA 2007) found, two thirds of the rural population in Laos are food insecure or at risk of food insecurity should one or more livelihood shocks occur. Ethnic groups living in remote areas and rural children are particularly vulnerable: every second child under five years of age in rural Laos is chronically malnourished (stunted).
Laos is also ranked as the world's most heavily bombed country (per capita): vast areas are still contaminated with unexploded ordnance (UXO) which continues to cause death and injury. The presence of UXO is directly connected to food insecurity as vast areas of land, particularly in remote places, remain unsafe for agricultural production.
WFP is working to connect farmers to markets through the Purchase for Progress initiative. Learn more.
www.wfp.org/content/wfp-annual-report-2010-englishIt is often said that we are defi ned by how we handle a moment of crisis. In 2009, Lao PDR was confronted by two major disasters threatening the food security of thousands of people. The World Food Programme (WFP) and its partners rose to the challenge..
In addition, WFP operates a School Meals programme to assist Government with improving access to primary school education in remote areas. In close partnership with the Ministry of Education, WFP provides daily mid-morning snacks to primary school children, and food rations the students take home to their families. These meals and rations work as a powerful incentive for both children and their parents, adding to and reinforcing the value of education, as well as helping to improve the nutritional status of entire families in the short and long term. Ultimately, education helps to break the cycle of poverty - educated children grow into men and women who tend to be more productive and as a result earn more, and perhaps most importantly, are more likely to send their own children to school.
In addition to this development programme, WFP operates a Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) to meet the immediate food needs of villages that have lost their crops as a result of floods, droughts or other natural disasters. The PRRO addresses the longer-term needs of chronically food insecure villages by implementing Food-for-Work activities to create or rehabilitate assets relevant for long-term household food security, such as paddy land, roads, bridges and fishponds. To compensate communities for their work, WFP provides rice to relieve the immediate food security pressure. These activities are implemented in partnership with the Laos Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare.
WFP also collaborates closely with UXO clearance organisations to decontaminate once fertile lands. This programme is critical to giving people the opportunity to regain self sufficiency by making land available to grow their own crops. WFP supports these efforts through food-for-work activities during the planting and growing season.
With Feeding the Future WFP takes a community-based approach to nutrition education. The project focuses on ethnic groups living in remote areas of Laos, where chronic malnutrition of children has been shown to be particularly prevalent (CFSVA 2007). WFP trains government staff to educate women of reproductive age and other care-givers about good nutrition habits which are culturally accepted and adaptable. The village-based trainings are given in three different ethnic languages and are adapted to the respective cultural contexts using innovative learning materials and techniques. In 2010, WFP will partner with up to 10 international NGOs to implement this training in several provinces.

Cardboard ashes box, Europe, 1999
Until the mid-1800s, most people in Britain were buried in consecrated ground near a church. This has changed over time and many people are now cremated before their ashes are interred. The change occurred for social and cultural reasons. These include changing attitudes toward established religion, the rise of other religious denominations, and lack of land. Many crematoriums use this type of adult-sized ashes box to give the cremated remains to the family. Unlike the metal equivalent (2000-110), it is unsuitable for postage. It is made of cardboard, and therefore biodegradable and suitable for 'green' funerals. The box was produced by the General Cemetery Company.
