Digital Camouflaged Kilt by AmeriKilt.com
I attended a Celtic Gathering called "The Celtic Cultural Alliance" hosted at Stabler Arena this past weekend. There was a stand that sold "not-so-traditional" Kilts, which many of you may have seen at different fields. This one in particular is in the new Marine Corpse styled Digital Woodland print and obviously, I had to have it.
Fit: The salesman fit me right there with one off the rack. My size is I'm 6'1", 240 lbs, a 38" waist. A standard Kilt of 38" X 22" inches long (right off the rack) fit me perfectly.
Attachment: The waistband attaches with a velcro tab that secures on the front of the right hip. There are 2 vertical rows of darkened snaps that hold the front panels together. The Velcro is strong and the snaps are positive-locking. There are six belt loops that allow you to add any belt up to 2" wide, my normal Kilt belt is pictured but a police-styled duty belt will also fit very nicely.
Material: The material is Cotton duck, much like denim. "Machine wash[able], no bleach, line dry and may be ironed if needed" is printed on the 'care instructions' tag. The digital pattern is silk-screen printed on the material and the pattern "blocks" that make up the 'digital squares' have clean and straight edges. The dye they used penetrates the material to the back, so they used plenty of dye. They whip-stitched the seams to prevent the material from unraveling, which is good for my use. The pleats are sewn-in and won't come out unless the stitching thread breaks. The threads used in their stitching is pretty thick and looks like a nylon/cotton blend so it should be plenty strong.
Accessories: The Kilt comes with a right, rear pocket for a wallet sized item. It secures with a flap that has a Velcro closure. The Velcro is as strong as the waist attachment. There is also included, a 6" x 9" pouch on the front. We would normally call it a "Sporran" and I guess that's what they call it too...but it's made of the same material so it blends perfectly with the print. It attaches with two very strong spring clips, to "D" rings sewn into the Kilt.
When I checked their website (mods, feel free to remove the link if needed) when I got home, I noticed they don't list the digital pattern. I would write to them or call them for digi camo availability but he had several at the gathering so I'm lead to believe that they just haven't updated their website yet.
I'll post the pics I have, hopefully I can get better ones in the near future.

A 34-year-old Woodstock man who was found dead in a Woodstock home on Saturday died of multiple stab wounds, according to an autopsy conducted today.
The man was identified as Mark A. Medina, of Woodstock, according to McHenry County Coronor Dr. Anne L. Majewski.
Police were called to the 1900 block of Sheila Street at 4:37 p.m. in the far northwestern suburb in McHenry County, Woodstock police said in a press release.
Preliminary findings from an autopsy conducted today determined that Medina died of multiple stab and incised wounds to his chest and upper body, said Majewski. Results from a toxicology exam are pending, Majewski said.
When police showed up at the home, they found a man who had died, officials said.
Police said, "circumstances surrounding the death of this individual were deemed to be suspicious." No other details were being immediately released by police.
The major investigation assistance team was activated to help with the ongoing investigation.
No danger to the public is believed to exist, police said.

I study and teach the Kishaba Juku form of Okinawan Shorin-Ryu.
If someone were to ask me to demonstrate Kishaba Juku, I would have to decline. How can I demonstrate the art? I am just a student, even if I am also a teacher. What I do does not represent the entire art or even our particular style. What I do is simply my interpretation of Kishaba Juku.
I could say, "I will demonstrate my interpretation of Kishaba Juku at this point in time." That would be the best I could do. And I would also have to tailor the presentation to the audience, meaning that I would have to keep things pretty basic. Such a presentation would not fairly represent Kishaba Juku. It would be just a personal snap shot.
If someone asked me to demonstrate Shorin-Ryu, I would have to decline for the same reasons. My "expertise" in Shorin-Ryu is even more limited than it is in my own particular style. There are many forms of Shorin-Ryu. How could I demonstrate them all? All I "know" is just a small part of one line of Shorin-Ryu. It would be just a piece of a personal snap shot.
If someone asked me to demonstrate Karate... well, you can guess what I would say. Shorin-Ryu is just one form of Karate and my particular style is just one form of Shorin-Ryu. And my view and understanding of Kishaba Juku is just a small part of the overall system (at this point in time), and personal to me.
I have used the word "style" to describe Kishaba Juku for want of a better term. Kishaba Juku is a private training group, not a style (or ryu) per se. What matters is not the name of the style or group but the personal relationship between the Sensei and students. Our training is a personal rather than an institutional thing.
Can I demonstrate Kishaba Juku? Only a little.

Hey everyone,
So as you might know I am totally new when it comes to Bento and now I would like to go shopping on ebay for my first real cute Bento Box. Most of you are able to make so great Bentos, I am jealous ;) Now I need some advices what you would buy as a Newbie. I mean which Equipment is really useful for the beginning?
I would love to hear some advices and can`t wait to look around at ebay :)
Yours Franzi
"And so the lion felt in love with the lamb" - Twilight
I started with a lock'n'lock lunch set and that's it. I started making my boyfriends bento's in a plain old square tupperware. Not very exciting. So yeah, you can start with nothing except something to carry food in if you want.
My most useful item and the only think I've bought besides the boxes is silicone baking cups to separate foods.
Thanks for the fast replie :) Then I will look for the right box first and maybe find some other stuff i will like. I am sure the other extras will come after a while. Every collection has to start small *lol*
Hi Franzi! You really do not need any special equipment to start making bentos. As moonshae said, you just need a box that has a lid that will be reasonably leak-proof. That can be a 'real' bento box, or a Lock 'n Lock, or other plastic box with a sealing lid. Take a look around the kitchenwares departments of your local stores - you may find a suitable and inexpensive box right there!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Any box can agree, when it is fully waterproof and suitable for food contact. For me, it is important that it can go in the microwave.
I find that the box must have a volume of 600ml + or more.
Two floors is very useful one for vegetables / fruits and one for things that are warm in the microwave.
I like the small bottles for salad dressings. And as Moonshae, I like silicone baking cups to separate foods.
I would like to second the silicone cups! I had some for baking, and I can't imagine bento-making without them. They come in super handy to seperate any kinds of food from each other that do not go well together - really good for carrying strawberries and curry tofu in one tier of the box, and nothing spills over. Because, you know, strawberries and curry don't go together that well.. ;) Besides that I'd recommend getting a good water bottle - for me drinking is super important, and I like nice water bottles. Everything else will come with time, as you notice if you need it or not. I'd say start out simple, and then go from there.
I agree with moonshae and the rest - you just need a box, and a bit of creativity! I also think that it's important that you have a fairly well-equipped kitchen with a bit of space to spread out and experiment! Our kitchen is not so big, but there is just enough space to make a bit of a mess and try things out! I will try and expand my gear and buy some silicon cups and washable dividers - at the moment I only have paper dividers which are not very environmentally friendly! I advise you to always keep an eye out for anything you think may come in handy when you are out shopping - even the most basic container can prove to be a lifesaver in a pinch. Once you have your 'bento goggles' on, every shopping trip is an opportunity to find new goodies, so don't feel you always have to stock up on strictly Japanese import items (nice as those are!)
I am newer than you are to the world of bento, but I did it bass ackwards and did the shopping first (I'm lucky to have the only Daiso in the province mere minutes from my house).
Top for me and my particular needs (picky eaters, aged 3 and 5) were cookie cutters for sandwiches (can get anywhere), metal veggie shape cutters, and funky toothpicks (for stringing edamame and cherry tomatoes). I also picked up a mandolin slicer from a dollar store.
From Daiso I just went crazy and bought stuff I don't know how much I'll use as my bento will not contain very much Japanese food. I got onigiri molds, sauce containers, an actual bento box..that sort of thing. I took some (really bad) photos of the stuff on my (only 2 posts in the blog) blog, www.bentobananamama.blogspot.com
I haven't taken anything out of the packs..I'm just staring at them, all pristine :)
Since you said "I would like to go shopping on ebay for my first real cute Bento Box," I assume that you know any tightly-sealed container will work, but you WANT the cute stuff. ^^ I sure did. Here's what I bought to begin bento-ing:
1. Bento box (2-tier Lube Sheep brand, $15 incl. shipping on ebay, came with chopsticks and bag)
2. Cute fish-shaped soy sauce containers ($1 on ebay, shipped with above)
3. Bento belt (took a headband with rubber that keeps it from slipping through hair and shortened it to fit the bento)
4. oshibori case ($0.50 for travel soap container)
5. oshibori (cheap package of thin washcloths, can't remember the price, but very cheap)
This stuff definitely fulfilled my desire for cuteness without breaking the bank. Before I bought anything, I spent two weeks or so scouring ebay to make sure I was getting a good price on my bento. About a month after this, I eventually bought silicone muffin cups. I would highly recommend them.
I'm so happy to see that people consider any box to be a bento box! it's a true relief!
I believe one should start with few and then only see what they are really craving for...I agree that some cuteness now and on can be really fun to do and eat!
hello franzi, since you are from germany:
im rewe gab es gerade "brotdosen" auf den wühltischen, das waren eigentlich 2-lagige bento-boxen. kindermotive wie spongebob, aber auch roséfarbene hello-kitty-boxen mit bordeauxfarbenem einlageboden. hab' mir eine für 6 euro oder so ähnlich gekauft- schliesst gut, hat etwas mehr als 500ml fassungsvermögen und das motiv ist zwar kitschig, aber nicht auf grässlich aufdringliche art.
für den preis bin ich sehr zufrieden- vielleicht gibt's ja noch welche?
(if anyone is curious what this is about: i basically wrote that there's a german supermarket chain that recently sold cheap bento boxes)
Brand new to the Bento idea myself (and this is my first post)... so I'm game. for ideas!
I agree with all the posters here. While we *want* the cute bento gear, what we need most are good eyes and a variety of foods. Once you've got your leak-proof container, all you need to do is assemble your ingredients in a pleasing layout. When things are looking a little blah, I start counting the colors and textures. Somewhere I read a "rule" of five -- five colors, five styles, five tastes. Orange mini-carrots or red cherry tomatoes for pop. Green ruffly lettuce for a background. Black olives. Two-inch pieces of green beans or asparagus. One bright green piece of broccoli. And don't pooh-pooh the idea of garnishes. A twist of yellow lemon, a sprig of basil, a lovely scented shiso leaf. These add color, texture and fragrance. The shiso (which is very easy to grow from seed) is said to have anti-bacterial properties, so helps keep your bento fresh.
When you start buying supplies, those plastic grass dividers (easily found in green, but also come in pink and yellow) are a must have. I find that I use them in almost every bento. In addition to keeping foods from touching, they add both color and visual texture. And as pii_bii said, once you put on your bento goggles, you will find more goodies. Often times in your own home. For instance, last night while I was cleaning up from dinner, I realized that the plastic container that held a single portion of tuna was just the right color, height, and size for my husband's bento box. I've also realized that my train case cosmetic bag is the same size and design as some bento bags I"ve seen online. It is also waterproof and slightly insulated. On a recent flight on Southwest Airlines I noticed the red stirrers they put in coffee were topped with a heart. I drank several cups of coffee and now have cute skewers for our bento. So keep your eyes open and you will see lots of bento opportunities.
this is a great post I'm new here too and I'm open for new ideas, I bought my first bento box in a Japanese market here, is a hello kitty box with the bottle is so cute, now I need to check on ebay for the rest of the stuff I want to have
You might be able to satisfy your desire for cute and still save money by buying a simple leak-proof container (Tupperware, Lock n Lock, Gladware, etc.) and customizing it with stickers. I bought a large sticker of the Golden Gate Bridge and applied it to the clear lid of one of my formerly blah containers. It looks great. Since I can get unadorned bento boxes from Daiso for $1.50-$3, I am planning on dressing some with Monokuro Boo and Flower Power stickers and giving them as gifts.
Buying things individually from different sellers can be tricky on ebay, and very expensive if you get a lot because each item has it's own shipping cost unless you buy from the same seller.
I ordered most of my obento supplies through J-box.com with the exception of my Totoro Yamabuki set (Which I had to purchase individually) totaling around $65+ shipping, and since I ordered a ton of stuff through Jbox- it was about $75 with shipping through them. >_> I definitely use most of the stuff I ordered, but I could use a few extra things to make it perfecto like nori punchers and vegetable sculpting tools. However! You really don't need to go all out! I'm just extremely OCD when it comes to making my obento boxes, and well, it's a life long problem. XD
What I recommend though for beginners is:
1.) An obento box that you personally adore.
2.) Onigiri molds unless you rock shaping them by hand (which I don't).
3.) The Silicone baking cups are a great idea, however be wary of the size of your box and the size of the cups.
4.) Sharp knives and cutting boards. The Good news is, I now know how to sharpen knives! >_<
That should help you brainstorm a bit. :)
" What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Having also just started with bento, I admit that for now, I am simply using little tupperwares -- or the little containers left from take-out chinese foods that are plastic, or so. I figured I could reward myself with a cute bento box once I felt I was "more good" at bento making! It's a nice incentive to make the bento often and learn to better shape my onigiris.. -_-;;;;
if that which you seek you find not within -- you will never find it without.

"Natural Solution"
I'm so glad I tried Lickables. It is a nice blend of oils and herbs that help the digestive tract gently eliminate hair. My long haired cat uses it once a week. My new cat with a sensitive digestive system uses it when he is upset. All my cats have used it at some point ( I have 7 cats!) and they all lick it up except for Riley. I put a dab on my finger tip and slide it into his cheek. He swallows it right down. I would definitely recommend this product over the petroleum based ones. Go natural!

the guardian
Rachel Corrie Gets Her Day in Court
On March 10, in the Israeli city of Haifa, American peace activist Rachel Corrie will get her day in court. Rachel's parents, Cindy and Craig Corrie, are bringing suit against the Israeli defence ministry for Rachel's killing by an Israeli military bulldozer in Gaza in March 2003.
Four key American and British witnesses who were present at the scene - members of the International Solidarity Movement - will be allowed into Israel to testify, despite having been barred previously by the Israeli authorities from entering the country. This reversal by the Israeli authorities is apparently due to U.S. government pressure, the Guardian reports. (Three cheers for any U.S. officials who contributed to this pressure. What else could you make the Israeli government do?)
A Palestinian doctor from Gaza who treated Corrie after she was injured has not been given permission by the Israeli authorities to leave Gaza to attend. (This would seem to be important testimony concerning the nature of Rachel's injuries - did U.S. officials exert pressure for his appearance?)
This case isn't just about accountability for Rachel's death. It's a test case for the power of the rule of law in Israel, when the rule of law comes into conflict with the policies of military occupation.

Reclamation: In the Studio with Woodworker Dan Strack
You may have seen Dan Strack's work before on Apartment Therapy, and for good reason. It's stunning. From custom guitars to elegant dining tables, Dan is committed to reclaiming discarded wood and crafting pieces that are as visually compelling as they are useful. I recently talked to Dan about his journey as a woodworker and his passion for using reclaimed wood.
Dan's journey as a woodworking rebel with a sustainable cause began when he was just a kid. Inspired by his grandfathers, both of whom were craftsmen, Dan started out building skateboard ramps using scrap wood and his dad's tools, and even built his first guitar when he was only 16. During his years apprenticing at top furniture and instrument-making companies, he noticed that a lot of usable wood was being discarded. Dan knew there was potential in the scrapped wood, so he began raiding the dumpsters, filling his car with wood scraps, and crafting custom pieces during his free time.
While he is no longer raiding dumpsters for wood scraps, Dan is still committed to using reclaimed wood in his work. Since he is currently based in Chicago, he works often with companies like Horigan Urban Forest, an eco-friendly Midwestern lumber company.
Why Reclaimed Wood?
Dan works with reclaimed wood because, as he notes, "one company's scraps can be passed on to someone who can make use of it, and so on, until there's nothing left...using every part of the buffalo, so to speak. Too many companies just throw things away without thinking about it."
Using wood scraps also allows Dan to weave together contrasting wood types, such as maple and walnut, which lend a bold, modern look to his work. He is also happy to work with clients on custom orders, including customizing wood types and dimensions.
For more of Dan's work or to contact him regarding custom furniture and guitars, head on over to Daniel Strack Woodworking.

CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 Review
The one thing you need if you plan on pushing the clock speeds on your processor is a replacement for that stock cooling solution. The stock solutions are good for what they originally designed for. To keep the processor alive and working within the thermal boundaries created when the die was designed. No surprise there as for the most part they work as intended but leave a lot to be desired when you actually pay attention to the temperatures. The comfort factor is not there at stock clock seeds much less at overclocked speeds. When you raise the voltage well the end result is a failure. At this point its time to look for a new cooling solution for your new processor to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling back. Intel just released its new Core i5 socket 1156 processors. With this release many of the old heatsinks just don't have the capability of being adapted or the manufacturers have not put together an adapter to make them work with the new socket. Why a new heatsink when I could use my old one? Well the mounting hole dimensions have changed as normally happens with a new socket. Socket 775 has a 75mm spacing while socket 1366 uses an 80mm spacing, so if you have not guessed socket 1156 falls right in between at 77mm. Enough of a distance change to make adapting anything but a bolt on sink a custom affair.
CoolerMaster had this difference in mind when they put together the Hyper TX3 heatsink. It features the ability to be used on multiple sockets including socket 775 and 1156 for Intel and socket AM2/AM3 for AMD. This heatsink features 3 heatpipes in a direct contact configuration that reach up to an aluminum fin array that houses a 92mm fan. Will its smallish size be hindrance to cooling performance or will it fit the bill and deliver better than stock performance at an affordable price? Both questions I intend to answer.
Closer Look:
The CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 is delivered in full retail regalia just as you would find it at at any computer hardware store. The Hyper TX3 is contained in a blister pack that shows off the front and rear facades of the cooler. The front also shows that this cooler is socket 1156 compatible along with the attributes on the left hand side. The rear side shows the compatible socket types while the bottom lists the features in lettering that my older eyes just can't read.
When you pull the contents out of the packaging you are left with the Hyper TX3, the 92mm fan and the box that contains the socket mounting hardware, the instructions, thermal paste along with the fan brackets. Simple, straight forward and functional!
Let's see what this little beauty has in store for us!

DIY is the way to go with decadent fast-food temptations. Taco Bell's wrap is heavy enough to skip and simple enough to re-create. Check out our swap... Ingredients: 1/4 cup chopped onion 3/4 cup frozen ground-beef-style soy crumbles (like the kind by Boca or MorningStar Farms) 1/8 tsp. cumin 1/8 tsp. chili powder 1/8 tsp. garlic powder 1 La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortilla 2 tsp. fat-free sour cream
1 slice fat-free cheddar cheese 3 baked tortilla chips, lightly crushed Directions: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave onion for 45 seconds, or until slightly softened. Blot away excess liquid. Add soy crumbles, sprinkle with spices, and stir. Microwave for 1 minute, or until crumbles are hot. Microwave tortilla on a microwave-safe plate for 10 seconds, or until warm. Spoon soy-crumble mixture across the center of the tortilla. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine sour cream with cheese, breaking the cheese slice into pieces. Microwave for 15 seconds, or until hot. Mix well, until mostly smooth, and immediately spoon over the soy-crumble mixture. Top with crushed chips. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and tightly roll it up around the filling. Bring a grill pan (or skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Place wrap in the pan, seam side down. Grill until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. DIG IN! MAKES 1 SERVING
Serving Size: entire recipe (1 wrap) Calories: 248 Fat: 5.5g Sodium: 920mg Carbs: 37.5g Fiber: 17.5g Sugars: 5g Protein: 28.5g PointsPlus® value 7*
HG Alternatives: If you can't get your hands on the 80-calorie La Tortilla Factory tortilla, just get the lowest-calorie medium-large, high-fiber flour tortilla you can find. Then adjust the calorie count accordingly. To save some sodium, opt for the soy crumbles by MorningStar Farms and use unsalted tortilla chips.
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking at the drive-thru... Sure, "Thriller" would have been less catchy if it had been written about a Taco Bell specialty, but we find this new wrap just as scary as dancing zombies. There ain't no second chance against the thing with 19 fat grams... That's a little more fat than we find acceptable in a not-so-impressively sized snack! (The Grillers are positioned as single-serve, on-the-go versions of classic appetizers.) Enter the HG swap. We started with one of our top tortilla picks, which has only 80 calories and LOADS of fiber. Seasoned soy crumbles, a low-cal cheese-sauce creation, and baked tortilla chips keep the fat count low and the flavor high. Don't worry... with this recipe around, any mere mortal can resist the evil of the Griller.

MXI Honors Pioneering African American Womenby Steve Charles • March 22, 2007 Share:
It was a night for the history books.
In the Korb Classroom on Wednesday night, the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies presented its first major award to a person outside of the Wabash community.
That award was named after Jasmine Robinson, the first African American employed at Wabash College.
And the Jasmine Robinson Pioneer Award was presented to Indiana Historical Society Senior Archivist Wilma Moore, a woman who, MXI Director Tim Lake pointed out, knows more than anyone about African American history in Indiana.
(Click here for photos of the celebration.)
MXI Associate Director Amina McIntyre welcomed guests to the ceremony, and Cushandra Andrews sang a beautiful solo of James Weldon Johnson's "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
Robinson, who is also the first African American woman to be employed by industry in the town of Crawfordsville, thanked Lake and the MXI for naming the Pioneer Award after her.
"To learn history from books is one thing, but being here with Jasmine Robinson is to be in the presence of history," Lake said, turning to Robinson, who has mentored generations of Wabash men at the MXI. "Thank you for all you've done for us."
"I can't think of anyone who knows more about African American history in Indiana than Wilma Moore," said Lake, who consults the IHS African American archives in his own research into little-known African American villages and towns in the state.
Moore has been the senior archivist in African American History at the Indiana Historical Society since 1986, processing collections, doing reference work, and editing Black History News & Notes, a quarterly newsletter. In 1993 she edited Indiana's African-American Heritage: Essays from Black History News and Notes, and in 1999 she wrote the screenplay for Eyewitness to a Century, a documentary about the Indianapolis Recorder newspaper. In 2000 she contributed the introductory essay to Gone But Not Forgotten: Photo Poems by O. James Fox.
Her address Wednesday night focused on the collections of papers and images in the IHS archives, particularly the O. James Fox Collection. Fox photographed children, families, buildings, and street scenes in Indianapolis' African American community between 1945 and 1960.
"He was a remarkable photographer who truly captured the essence of those he photographed," Moore said.
She noted that Wabash made its own contribution to the African American archives at IHS. The Wabash College Oral History project grew out of the school's sesquicentennial celebration planned during the 1980s. Under the leadership of librarian Eileen McGrath and supported by Jasmine Robinson, Wabash professor Jim Barnes, and the county historian, the project interviewed 22 townspeople covering "Crawfordsville and the Black Experience." Twenty seven interviews comprise "Wabash and the Black Experience." The project was completed under the leadership of history professor George Davis.
"So if you want to learn more about the history of Wabash, stop by the Indiana Historical Society archives," Moore said.
(Click here to visit the Wabash College Oral History Project at IHS.)
"I like the connections that history makes, and I have loved my work at the IHS for the last 20 years. Our history helps define our reality, and the archives of African American history offers us a place to go to capture the truth of the past,"
"To paraphrase Langston Hughes: If anyone is going to tell my story, it ought to be me."
The MXI's first major award at this college for men was presented to a woman during Woman's History Month, a fact not lost on MXI members Ryan Morris, Shayne Dube, and Brandon McKinney. In the emotional highlight of the evening, the trio performed a poetic "Tribute to a Black Woman," praising beauty, compassion, suffering, and nurturing so freely given.
"This is our first meeting, though our paths have crossed many times," Morris proclaimed. "You have raised me. I am a reflection of you."

Air Force special operator honoring fallen comrades
By BRIDGET FLYNN | The (Sterling, Ill.) Daily Gazette | Published: February 5, 2013
STERLING – For Sgt. Adam Tarbill of Sterling and 17 other Air Force special operators, walking 450 miles wasn't enough to honor five fallen members of their command unit.
So the Air Commando Ruckers, as they call themselves, are making the hike with 50-pound rucksacks – a backpack with a metal frame that holds gear.
"We're carrying the rucksacks to honor them because anyone can walk, but it takes somebody special to be able to walk with 50 pounds on their back for 450 miles," said Tarbill, 26.
Five air commandos in Tarbill's unit died last February. The walk is meant to honor them and to raise $50,000 for Special Operations Warrior Foundation's scholarship fund, which helps children of fallen special operators attend college.
The walk had raised $8,255 by Sunday afternoon.
He and his comrades left at 9 a.m. Sunday from Hulburt Field, Fla., where Tarbill's command is based. They will arrive Friday at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla.
When they reach MacDill, they will put five flags that were flown overseas onto a granite memorial to honor the five air commandos in their command unit who died last year. Those special operators' names already have been added to the memorial, Tarbill said.
Tarbill is an independent medical technician in the Special Operations Forces' medical element. This is the second year of the march and the first year Tarbill has participated.
"We're a big family, so when one of us goes down, it affects us all directly," Tarbill said. "We know the toll that it takes and the special type of person it takes to do our job."
The job requires self-sacrifice and dedication, he said.
The Air Commando Ruckers walk in four teams and bring four vehicles on the trip. A team will walk for 12 miles before rotating to another team. Each person will walk at least 120 miles, and the walk will be nonstop until they reach their destination, he said.
A trail vehicle will be behind the marchers so that if anyone becomes exhausted or gets hurt, he can be replaced.
Tarbill, a 2005 graduate of Sterling High School, is the son of Cindy Williams of Rock Falls and John Tarbill of Sterling.
To donate
The Special Operations Warrior Foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports the military's special operations forces and their families through three programs:
- College scholarships for the surviving children of fallen special operations forces.
- Family services, including educational counseling.
- Wounded special operations forces support.
Go to firstgiving.com and search for "Air commando ruck climb" or go to specialops.org to donate.
Quality Imports, a car dealership in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., is matching donations up to $5,000.
Go Air Commando Ruckers Facebook page for more information on the walk.
About the fallen
Lt. Col. John D. Loftis, 44, of Murray, Ky., died Feb. 25 from wounds received during an attack at the Interior Ministry in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Capt. Ryan P. Hall, 30, of Colorado Springs, Colo., Capt. Nicholas S. Whitlock, 29, of Newnan, Ga., 1st Lt. Justin J. Wilkens, 26, of Bend, Ore., and Senior Airman Julian S. Scholten, 26, of Upper Marlboro, Md., died Feb. 18 when their U-28 aircraft was involved in an accident near Camp Lemonnier, Dijbouti, Africa.

Enhancement of Pyrometallurgical Teaching Using Excel Simulation Models
Eric John Grimsey
On-Site Speaker (Planned)
Eric John Grimsey
Abstract Scope
Steady state Excel models for a copper flash smelter and an iron blast furnace are used to enhance the teaching of pyrometallurgical smelting principles within a fourth year level process engineering subject delivered at the W A School of Mines in Western Australia. A lecture/workshop approach has been adopted in which student teams undertake simulation assignments which illustrate the multifaceted responses of process outputs to variation of inputs, in order to reinforce their understanding of smelting principles. The approach has proved popular with students, as evidenced but the consistently high ratings the subject has received through student feedback. This paper provides an overview of the teaching approach, content and process models used in the subject.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Six outstanding high school seniors four
four different states have signed national letters of intent to
join the Tennessee Tech women's basketball program, third-year head
coach Amy Brown announced this week.
The newest Golden Eagles include Tiara Hopper, Haley Ervin, Katy Cooke, Kathryn Barker, Kylie Cook and Kellie Cook, who will join the Tech basketball team in the fall of 2009. They will make their way to Cookeville from Texas, Alabama and Kentucky, as well as two from Tennessee.
Hopper, a 5-11 forward, is a long, athletic player with the ability to score. At Butler Traditional High School in Louisville, Ky., she earned the teams most improved player award, and MVP of the state title game, leading her team to the 2008 Kentucky State Championship.
"We look for Tiara to make an immediate impact with her aggressive style and her ability to score," Brown said.
Ervin, a six-foot senior from Cleveland, Tenn., has great size at the guard and forward position. She is a versatile player with the ability shoot from long range, drive to the basket, and pull up and hit a jump shot.
In her junior year at Bradley Central High School, Ervin scored approximately 10 points per game, along with 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
"Haley has an extremely high basketball IQ, and we're fortunate to have her as one of our two Tennessee signees," Brown said. "She brings great size and talent, and she is going to fit in well with the personality of this team."
Cooke, a 5-7 natural point guard, comes from Marble Falls, Texas. She led Marble Falls High School to the Texas 4A final four in 2007, and earned the district defensive player of the year award.
"Katy is a fiery, gutsy floor general," Brown said. "She has an understanding that a true point guard is not necessarily a scoring position, but one more focused on getting the ball where it needs to be."
Barker, a standout at Sequatchie High School in Dunlap, Tenn., comes from a family of Tech basketball players. In the 1980's, both her mother and aunt, Anita and Rebecca Myers, played for the Golden Eagles.
"Her dream was to play basketball at the next level, and we are very blessed that she gets to do that," said her mother and coach, Anita Baker. "I'm glad she has the opportunity to play at such a great school. I have a special place in my heart for Tennessee Tech."
The 5-9 guard was an All-District and All-Region selection after her junior season, and was an all tournament selection.
"We are very happy to have Katherine," Brown said. "She is an all around team player who will do whatever it takes to win."
Identical twins Kylie and Kellie Cook round out the Golden Eagle signees. The sisters hail from Madison, Ala., and both stand 5 feet, 11 inches tall.
"With them playing together for so long, they are always able to find each other on the floor, and get they're teammates involved," said Tim Miller, their current high school coach. "They make it about the team, and not each other."
With her strength and size, Kylie will play the four spot for Tech. A versatile player, she also has the ability to step out and knock down the three point shot, and is a shutdown defender on the other end of the floor. After her junior season, Kylie was an All-Area selection.
"Kylie is just a gritty player who wants to win," Brown said. "She is very strong fundamentally, she has a great passion, and she comes from a championship background."
Her twin sister Kellie was the team's captain and leading scorer at Bob Jones High School.
"Kellie has great size at the three position, and has a tremendous passion for the game," Brown said. "She always makes the right decision with the ball.
"These two have played together throughout their careers and are very happy in that capacity, which will be a plus for them on the floor."
Kellie and Kylie led Bob Jones High School to the Alabama 6A state championship.
"With them playing together for so long, they can always find each other on the floor," said Tim Miller, the head coach at BJHS. "They're the type of kids who will run through the wall for you. They make everything about the team, not each other."
At the end of the 2008 season, the Golden Eagles will lose four seniors to graduation, so Brown and her staff have put together a large recruiting class for the second straight year.
"The goal was to improve, and add depth to each position," Brown said. "We couldn't be happier to get these early commitments, that is always the goal of the staff."
Tech women's basketball locks up six high school seniors

Recently, a forum member on the Honda dirt bike site XR650RForum.com, calling himself Master_E, shared with his buddies his experience with the Chicago Electric 2.5 Liter Ultrasonic Cleaner.
"So I bought this thing because I took my carb to a buddies house the first time I was taking it apart and we used his. My carb had gunk all over and was generally dirty from being used. This ultrasonic gizzmo cleaned my carb to the point where it looked fresh out of a hot tank, inside and out. I was very impressed."
When he took it home, he tried different cleaners with it. One different work. Another was so sotrong, it would tarnish. Finally, he found the perfect "solution":
"I went back to Harbor Freight and bought a gallon of this business they use in their regular parts washers for only $9.99. I run a 50/50 mix with water and it cleans fantastically. Straight out of the jug is pretty concentrated stuff. I really recommend diluting it some."
And once he figured out the formula, he threw everything he could find into the cleaner.
"Since, I've used it on all kinds of things. Most useful to me has been on fasteners but greasy nuts, bolts, washers, brackets, spacers, sprockets, clutch and brake perches, cleaning up my tools, my carburetor components, suspension components and even a whole chain. Yes, the whole chain."
Besides motorcycle and automotive parts, the 2.5 Ultrasonic Cleaner is great for cleaning gun parts and brass, jewelry, coins, brasswind parts, pinball machine parts, e-cigarette tanks, medals, eyeglasses, tattoo tubes, grips and tips, bionic parts, coffee ground cups, and so much more! It works with our without heat, and is programmed for five cleaning cycles. At only $74.99, it's a great machine at a great price.
Now, back to Master_E:
"So I thought I'd share a couple before and afters. I actually struggled to find things that needed cleaning, but I did find a couple things. These parts were never prep'd or polished after coming out of the cleaner. They went straight in, ran a cycle then brought out and dried off. Thats it. No scrubbing, no brushing, no scraping, no wiping down with a rag at all."
(Click on the pics to enlarge)
You can't argue with the evidence. The Chicago Electric 2.5 Liter Ultrasonic Cleaner is a perfect addition to any workshop or home where parts and pieces get dirty. Go get yours now– and don't forget to take a 20% Off coupon!
To quote Master_E's parting remark:
"Cheers! Now go clean some stuff!"

Russian and Soviet Music
After the Russian Revolution, cultural field of Russian music has changed dramatically. Early 1920s were the era of avant-garde experiments, inspired by the "revolutionary spirit" of the era. New trends in music (like music based on synthetic chords) were proposed by enthusiastic clubs such as Association for Contemporary Music. But later with 1930's and Joseph Stalin arriving, music was brought within certain boundaries of content and innovation. Classicism was favoured, and experimentation discouraged. Jazz music was introduced to Soviet audiences by Valentin Parnakh in 1920s. Singer Leonid Uteosov and film score composer Isaak Dunayevsky helped its popularity, especially with popular comedy movie Jolly Fellows that featured jazz soundtrack. Eddie Rosner, Oleg Lundstrem and others contributed to soviet jazz music. The 1960s and 1970s saw the beginning of modern Russian pop and rock music. It started with the wave of VIA's (vocal-instrumantal ensemble), a specific sort of music bands performing radio-friendly pop, rock and folk, composed by members of Union of Composers and approved by censorship. This wave begun with Pojuschie Gitary and Pesnyary, popular VIA bands also included Tcvety, Zemlyane and Verasy. It was also the time of new individual pop stars such as Sofia Rotaru, Alla Pugacheva, Yuri Antonov. Many of them remain popular to this day. "Bards" or "authors' song" is an umbrella term for the singers-songwriters movement that arose at the early 1960s. It can be compared to the American folk revival movement of the 60's, with their simple single-guitar arrangements and poetical lyrics. Initially ignored by the state media, bards like Vladimir Vysotsky, Bulat Okudzhava, Alexander Galich gained so much popularity that they finished being distributed by the state owned Melodiya record company.
