very nice combo
A couple of mine. This one I tried to build as simple as possible. This cram and jam configuration works surprisingly well, and I love the PING the barrel makes when you shoot her. She's balanced nicely with the weight on the back off setting the brass barrel also. Lefty grips too.
This one took forever to collect all the parts. Most of the parts here are new...no paint has been shot through this gun the way it is now. New parts include the warp feed, body, half the splash parts and the Hyperframe. She even has a new level 10 bolt. Notice the double finger splashed trigger on the Hyperframe? I did that Another lefty gun....
Nice splash mag, Did you make the sling mount?
Yes. It's *heavy* lolOriginally Posted by Darring D

A proposal making it illegal to display what some are calling "revenge porn" is one step closer to becoming law.
The bill makes it a felony to post sexual material of another person on the internet without their consent. An Illinois Senate committee unanimously passed the bill Wednesday.
State Sen. Michael Hastings is sponsoring the measure. The Democrat from Orland Hills says "revenge porn" — often posted by angry ex-boyfriends, girlfriends or spouses — has serious harmful effects, even leading victims to commit suicide.
Mary Dixon is the legislative director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois. She says the organization is concerned the bill is too broad and would like to see some changes.
The legislation now moves to the Senate.

Lions tear apart Kansas City Christian in 2013 home bowling opener
For most sports, nothing is better than playing in front of the hometown crowd.
Bowling is no different.
On Tuesday, the Lansing bowling teams hosted their first match of the season and instantly found a groove. The comforts of the familiar lanes paid dividends as both Lion squads walked away victorious.
The boys' defeated Kansas City Christian 2,460-1,790, while the girls' took down KCC 1,829-1,382.
"Our home at Skyway was very good to us tonight," Lansing coach Ed Fenton said. "The boys had their season high while the girls continued their consistent scoring. Good outing for us, though we still have room for improvement with our spare conversions for both teams."
In the boys' contest, John Bredehoeft came up eight pins shy of a 700 series score when he posted a 693, good for first overall. Behind him was Bryan Courtney's 637, Thad Marshall's 576 and CJ Perez's 552.
Brad Brown contributed a 507 series score while Curtis VanderStay added a 473.
"John Bredehoeft and Bryan Courtney rolled at least 200 in each of their three games with John having the high game on the day of 267," Fenton said. "Bryan's high score was 219 and Thad Marshall had a 212 tonight in his second game."
On the girls' side, Katelyn Tollefson posted a 483 series mark to claim first overall. She was followed by Natasha Kern's 449, Dallas Castillo's 435 and Amber Ketchum's 428.
Rachel Forbach added a 413 tally while Emily Smith knocked down a 387 series score.
"Katelyn Tollefson had the high series and high game on the day," the Lions coach said. "Natasha Kern had a good night coming in second overall and a high game of 170, which was second also on the night."
Lansing will travel to Olathe South Thursday for a 3:30 p.m. meet.

Shannon Dominguez was sitting in her boyfriend's car, in front of a store on the 2200 block of Main Street on June 7 when a woman parked her vehicle, locked it up and entered the store — leaving her child inside the car.
Although the high temperature that day was just 68 degrees, a concerned Dominguez called 911. While she was on the phone, the other woman, Kristina Riddell, returned to her car. To the 911 call-taker, Dominguez said, "Never mind, the mother of the year is here."
The ensuing confrontation escalated into an assault that might have left Dominguez permanently disabled. According to police reports, Riddell is accused of hitting and running over Dominguez with her vehicle while leaving the scene of the confrontation.
"My life is now sitting at the end of the couch," Dominguez said Thursday.
Dominguez suffered three breaks in her fibula and a spiral break in her tibia, she said. The injuries led to compartment syndrome, an increased pressure on the muscles, blood vessels and nerves that can cause permanent damage. She developed pneumonia, received blood transfusions and underwent two surgeries so far.
At Longmont United Hospital, she spent nine days in the intensive-care unit and four days in a regular room, she said.
"It could take up to six months for the bones to heal," Dominguez said. But even in the best-case scenario, she'll need to walk with a cane for the rest of her life.
Dominguez' boyfriend, Alan Mason, took seven weeks off of work to help her and now works part-time. Her 15-year-old daughter is spending the summer taking care of her. A home health-care nurse helps her shower and dress, and a physical therapist exercises her ankle.
Dominguez can't use a walker yet, because her knee buckles when she walks.
"I can't even try to describe how bad the pain is," Dominguez said.
A stay-at-home mom, Dominguez was planning to look for a job now that her daughter is in high school, she said. Now, she's applied for disability.
"We can't even pay our rent," she said. "She has completely destroyed every aspect of our lives."
Riddell was arrested that day, and was charged on June 11 with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, vehicular assault, child abuse and leaving the scene of an accident.
An unidentified woman who answered the phone at Riddell's home said Riddell would not comment on the incident because of her pending court case. She is next scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 12.
"She could have easily gotten in her car and left and been done with it," Dominguez said.
Instead, Riddell threatened Dominguez after hearing the "mother of the year" comment, Dominguez said.
"She said she was going to kick my 'old hag ass,'" said Dominguez, 43. Riddell turned 27 the previous day.
Mason, 44, stepped between the two women, but Riddell punched him and jumped back in her car, Dominguez said. The arrest report said Riddell slapped Mason, knocking off his hat and sunglasses.
"She reversed it so quickly that she was burning rubber," said Dominguez, who was standing with Mason at the end of a parking space. After backing up, Riddell drove forward and "accelerated quickly, driving at Alan and Shannon," Officer David Bonday wrote in the arrest report.
Riddell's car hit Mason, knocking him onto the hood, and hit and ran over Dominguez. Riddell then left the parking lot, according to Bonday's report.
According to that report, Riddell said Mason jumped on the hood of her car, and that Dominguez was banging on the hood. She then took her foot off the brake, but did not accelerate until she passed the couple, she told police.

Quincy Police were flagged down Saturday night, July 21 at approximately 11 p.m. by the victim of a thwarted armed robbery attempt.
The victim and a witness told police the following: The victim had gone to the Bank of America ATM located at 1321 W. Jefferson St. to get cash. While the victim was taking his cash he was confronted by a black male aiming a handgun at him demanding his money and wallet. The victim advised that he held his wallet out for the robber and just when the robber attempted to take it he grabbed the robber's gun and wrestled it from the robber.
After a brief scuffle the robber fled the scene on foot while running out of his slides/shoes. The victim, who was uninjured, then drove away and flagged down a nearby Quincy Police Officer on patrol in our downtown area.
When police went back to the area Quincy Police Lt. Eric Howell and his K9 partner "Figo" began tracking the suspect. The suspect was located a short distance away from the incident location and taken into custody. The suspect was not wearing shoes and had only socks on his feet. The victim and a witness both positively identified the suspect as the armed robber.
Arrested was Devontrez Garrod Williams, 18, of Quincy. He was charged with armed robbery with a firearm

I know, way too early, but I'm itching for some FOOTBALL! Most of these probably wont' be insanely accurate, but according to what I'm hearing about us and said opponents right now, why not?
vs Chargers- W (27-24)
Nope, I'm not sold on this win, but the holdouts sure help! No question, the Chargers will put up some points on our defense, but I'm becoming more and more impressed with this offense.
@ Browns- W (31-10)
No way the Browns beat us this time. As long as we stop the run, this should be a laugher.
vs 49ers- W (17-14)
This one was a tough call. The 49ers are for real and they're trying to prove it in a weak NFC West. Their defense is incredible and have a lot of talent on offense, but QB is a huge question mark. With a better offense, we come out on top.
@ Colts- L (34-20)
After a 3-0 start, no need to feel bad about this one, it's the Colts. They're too much for a lot of teams.
@ Texans- L (28-24)
An offensive shootout, but I think the Texans are equipped with a bit more talent than us. It's on the road, as well.
vs Jags- W (24-14)
Back in the win column! I don't thing the Jags are quite as bad as people think, but they do have a problem at QB.
vs Bills- W (14-6)
The Bills are the weirdest team in the NFL. They usually finish on the south side of .500, but sometimes, they can pull a good game out. I think we'll win, but don't be shocked at an upset.
@ Raiders- L (17-13)
Yep, call me crazy, but the Raiders are much better this year without Russel. While not an offensive juggernaut, their defense makes up for it.
@ Broncos- W (27-17)
No way the Broncos have the year they did last year, and that wasn't even a playoff year, thanks to us. This team has way too many problems to NOT be in anywhere but last.
vs Cardinals- W (35-28)
The Cardinals defense got a lot worse without Dansby, but they'll still put up points with Leinart. I think he'll be a lot better than his first around at QB.
@ Seahawks- L (24-14)
Yep, I'm calling this a loss. The Seahawks have a ton of talent now and could be a sleeper for the west in a week division. Of course, the road doesn't help.
vs Broncos- W (24-10)
Read above, it's almost the same thing, only maybe a bit worse because it's at home.
@ Chargers- L (35-20)
A lot of this depends on Jackson coming back. If he's still having issues, then we could steal this one.
@ Rams- W (41-10)
A massacre for the Governor's Cup.
vs Titans- W (27-21)
This is one of my most anticipated games. Charles vs Johnson? Sign me up! Should be one of the better games of the year to watch.
vs Raiders- W (21-10)
They beat us there, but we take them out here on the last game of the season.
End record has us at 11-5 and should be right there for the division and definite wild card! Now remember, this is a pretty optimistic record and some games could bend either way. Let me know what you guys think!

Columbus, Ohio (St. John Arena)
Fresh off their first victory of the 2013 season, the No. 6 Nebraska women's gymnastics team will travel to Columbus, Ohio this weekend for their second road event in three meets.

Miller is ranked 21st nationally on floor and owns a high score of 9.925 on the event. She is also tied for 18th nationally on vault (9.875) and 24th on beam (9.842).

OSU is led by Head Coach Carey Fagan, who is in his ninth season at the helm of the Buckeye program.

Nebraska Sweeps Event Titles, Tops Michigan State
The Huskers swept all four events and the all-around competition en route to a 196.700-192.100 win over conference foe Michigan State on Saturday, Jan. 19. The Huskers were powered by excellent performances on bars and beam in front of 2,165 fans at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Junior Emily Wong was tops for the Huskers on Saturday, posting stellar performances on all four events to earn three individual event titles and the all-around title. Wong captured awards on vault (9.90), uneven bars (9.95) and beam (9.925) en route to a 39.650 in all-around competition. Freshman Hollie Blanske also had a breakout performance on floor, posting a 9.90 to earn the floor title for the Big Red.
Nebraska started the night on vault, hitting a solid score of 49.050 on the evening. The Huskers were paced by Wong, who hit a season-high 9.90 for the event title. Adding to the Huskers' efforts were senior Janelle Giblin and sophomore Jessie DeZiel, who picked up identical marks of 9.85.
NU moved to bars on the second rotation, where the Huskers exploded for a 49.450, the 10th-highest mark in school history. The team was led by a trio of Huskers that scored 9.90s or higher to finish 1-2-3. Wong led the Big Red and the meet for the second consecutive rotation, nailing a career-best 9.95. Jennifer Lauer and DeZiel each added a 9.90 on the evening, while Hollie Blanske and Janelle Giblin each picked up scores of 9.85.
In the third rotation, the Huskers took to the balance beam to try and match their strong performance last week against Michigan. The team posted another excellent showing, finishing with a 49.150. Wong continued her stellar performance, earning a 9.925 on beam to lead the meet and match her career-high. Jennifer Lauer showed her strength on beam as well, earning a 9.875, while Nathe added a 9.80.
Nebraska completed their evening on floor exercise, posting a team score of 49.050, paced by Blanske's meet-winning mark of 9.90. The floor performance and Blanske's win were her first as a Husker. Wong added a 9.875 for the Big Red, while DeZiel chipped in a 9.80 to seal the victory for the Huskers.
Wong's 39.650 was tops in all-around competition, with DeZiel in second at 39.325. Lauer added a 39.200, and Giblin finished at 38.975. Michigan State's all-around efforts were led by Lisa Burt, who earned a 39.125.
Huskers Up One Spot to No. 6 in Latest Rankings
NU moved up one spot to No. 6 nationally in the lastest GymInfo rankings, released Monday. After holding steady at No. 7 for two weeks, NU was bumped up to sixth following a 196.700 team score against Michigan State last weekend. The Huskers are second among Big Ten teams, with conference foe Michigan taking the No. 1 overall spot (196.942). The Huskers come in just outside the top five nationally this week, with Oklahoma (196.825), Florida (196.817), UCLA (196.788) and Alabama (196.513) rounding out the top of the rankings.
Nebraska also has four Huskers with a total of six routines inside the top 10 nationally. Wong paces the Huskers, apearing three times in top 10 and twice in the top five. The junior is tied for second on beam (9.913) and also appears at No.3 in the all-around (39.513) and tied for eighth on floor (9.90).
Jennifer Lauer remains near the top of the beam rankings this week, tying for second with Wong in the beam rankings (9.913). DeZiel is tied for fifth on bars (9.888), while freshman Blanske makes her first appearance in the rankings at a tie for eighth on floor (9.90).

The Big Red will return home next weekend to kick off a two-meet home stand that will span the first two weeks of February. Nebraska welcomes Big Ten opponent Illinois to the Bob Devaney Sports Center on Friday, Feb. 1 for a 6 p.m. CST duel. The Fighting Illini are 1-3 this season and will face Michigan State this weekend at home in Huff Hall.
Lauer, Wong Anchor NU's Steady Beam Efforts
Assistant Coach Heather Brink's beam squad is looking solid this season, earning a ranking of No. 2 nationally this week after another strong showing last weekend. The Huskers posted a 49.150 last weekend to bring their season average to 49.238, which narrowly trails only Oklahoma (49.275) for the top beam average in the nation.
Wong and Jennifer Lauer continue to anchor Nebraska's efforts on beam this season. The duo is tied for No. 2 nationaly this week, with both averaging scores of 9.913 on the apparatus. Lauer earned a spectacular 9.95 last weekend against Michigan, while Wong has scored no lower than a 9.90 on beam this year. Assisting NU's work are DeZiel and Nathe, who have each scored 9.80 or higher in both of their beam performances this season.
High-Flying Huskers
Nebraska posted one of the nation's best team scores on bars last weekend, coming in at 49.450 against Michigan State. That score also tied for the 10th-highest team bars score in school history.
Wong paced the Huskers, nailing an oustanding routine that earned her a 9.95 on the day. The score is a new career best for the junior and ties for the highest bars score by a junior in program history. It is also tied for the No. 4 spot on Nebraska's list of the top 10 individual bars scores.
Adding to Nebraska'sefforts again were DeZiel and Lauer, who chipped in identical scores of 9.90 to give Nebraska a solid core of bars performances on the evening.
Defending Conference Champions Look for Continued Success
After winning its second consecutive conference title and its first in the Big Ten, Nebraska returns to the gym with even higher expectations for 2013. NU will welcome back seven total letterwinners from last season, including six All-Americans, while adding four newcomers to the roster. With a solid core of veterans and a stockpile of talent and depth, Head Coach Dan Kendig believes his 20th season with the Huskers has the makings of a top team on the national scene.
"We've come a long way since the beginning of the year and put in a lot of work in the gym, the community and the classroom," Kendig said. "Top to bottom, this season can be better than last season. If we keep working hard each day and getting better, I see good things on the horizon for this year."
Six All-Americans Poised to Lead Huskers in 2013
NU's efforts this season will be anchored by its six returning All-Americans, including three honorees that captured eight awards last season. Jessie DeZiel, Janelle Giblin and Emily Wong headline a group that has won 16 awards since 2010 and also includes seniors Kassandra Nathe and Brittany Skinner and junior Jamie Schleppenbach.
Nebraska will look for sustained success from its vaulting corps as it fields four previous All-Americans. The group is led by 2012 first-team All-American Giblin and second-team honoree DeZiel alongside previous first-teamers Schleppenbach and Skinner.
The Huskers will also welcome back three previous All-Americans in both all-around competition and on uneven bars. Notably returning to the competition floor on bars this season is 2010 second-team All-American Nathe, who has missed the past two seasons due to injury. Nathe is expected to provide a spark as well as depth to NU's bar lineup in 2013. Nebraska returns two All-Americans on floor and beam as well.
Kendig Builds One of Nation's Top Programs
Now in his 20th year at the helm of the Nebraska gymnastics program, Head Coach Dan Kendig is the all-time winningest coach in Nebraska history. Kendig holds a 440-170-4 record overall and a 291-68-2 regular-season mark. An eight-time conference coach of the year selection, Kendig most recently earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors last season after guiding the 2012 Huskers to the program's 22nd conference title.
Kendig has also led the Huskers to 15 NCAA Championship appearances in the past 18 season, including NCAA Super Six Finals appearances in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2011. Kendig was honored as the NCAA Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2003, a year in which the Huskers finished fourth nationally. He guided the 2012 Huskers to a 24-7 record overall, including an eighth-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Championships in Duluth, Ga. The performance marked Nebraska's 28th consecutive NCAA post season appearance, while three of Kendig's gymnasts--Jessie DeZiel (FX, AA, V), Janelle Giblin (V, UB) and Emily Wong (BB, FX, AA)--earned All-America honors.
NU Assistants Set to Lead Huskers in 2013
Joining Kendig in his leadership of the Huskers this season will be second-year assistant coaches Heather Brink and Dan Miller. Brink will continue her role in the gym as the team's beam coach while assisting with floor choreography. In her first season as an assistant with the Huskers, Brink helped coach Emily Wong to first-team All-America honors on beam. Brink's assistance with NU's floor routines also guided Jessie DeZiel to first-team All-America honors and Wong to second-team honors on the event.
Miller will continue to lead NU's efforts on vault and floor in 2013. During his first season at Nebraska in 2012, Miller guided DeZiel to first-team All-America honors on floor and second-team honors on vault. He also assisted in the development of Janelle Giblin, who earned first-team honors on vault, and Wong, who picked up second-team honors on floor. The gymnasts under Miller's tutelage in 2012 garnered a total of 15 floor titles and 14 vault titles throughout the season.
Volunteer assistanch coach Owen Field, now in his third season in that position, will aid NU's full-time staff in 2013. Field will assist head coach Dan Kendig on the uneven bars while also assisting with the Huskers' strength and conditioning program.

On-disc DLC tends to ruffle feathers, making gamers feel like they're forced to shell out more money for content they've already bought. The dust was most recently kicked up in the case of Street Fighter X Tekken, when it was revealed that the large roster update coming to Vita much later in the year is already on-disc in the console versions, ready to be purchased for 20 bucks when Capcom flips the switch.
This led some fans to the Better Business Bureau, and Cinema Blend reports that Capcom has now issued an official response to the complaints.
SFxT has an enormous amount of content, fully developed and available for play and enjoyment immediately on-disc. Given the 38 characters available for full play, as well as multiple play modes, SFxT provides great value for all players from day one. While Capcom is sorry that some of its fans are not happy about the chosen method of delivery for the DLC, we believe that this method will provide more flexible and efficient gameplay throughout the game's lifecycle. There is effectively no distinction between the DLC being "locked" behind the disc and available for unlocking at a later date, or being available through a full download at a later date, other than delivery mechanism.
In terms of legal realities and business planning, Capcom is probably right. DLC is built in such a way that it usually wouldn't be made in the first place if the business plan didn't count on making more money from it, on the disc or not. And thanks to how digital rights law works, you're really not purchasing ownership of everything on the disc anyway.
However, the problem with on-disc DLC is largely about fan perception and good PR, so this justification is likely to only add fuel to the fire. Plus, for a company that's grown infamous for reviving its Super and Hyper editions lately, having a large roster update ready to roll out on day one may feel like a back door to the same end.

Get Luxe Hair and Makeup Looks for Less
We dared ourselves to recreate celebrity hairstyles and makeup looks that normally cost hundreds of dollars using only drugstore beauty products. Did we succeed?
Approximate primping time: 4 minutes total
What she used:
Giovanni Frizz Be Gone, $6.99
Her thoughts: My hair was very low-maintenance. Because I have naturally wavy hair, I used Frizz Be Gone to prevent any frizz and let it air dry. This whole look took 4 minutes to do and is a really no-fuss look for the "gotta go" girl.
Older comments
None of them turned out better or close to the celebrity look.

Unfortunately, it looks like this project was too hard to execute. Nothing looks like the "celebrity" photos. This looks more like an experiment in 'interpretation' and not 'replication'. I do appreciate that staff took the time to attempt the looks.

Using the cosmetics the celebs use will NOT make us look like them. Good color matching in most of the comparison photos.

This was fun! Even if it wasn't using drugstore products, it was nice to see celebrity hair and makeup translated into real life looks!

During the special session last week, the Senate created a responsible approach to solving this Medicaid budget shortfall. The House of Representatives agreed with the Senate plan and the bill was sent to the governor's desk.
However late Friday, March 25, as many offices were closing for the day, the governor vetoed all of the important accountability provisions and is now left with an unrestricted checkbook combined with an unlimited credit card funded with your tax dollars.

The Millionaire and the Mummies: Theodore Davis Gilded Age in the Valley of the Kings by John M. Adamssubmitted by Rob
This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of Wealth: First, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and after doing so to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community the man of wealth thus becoming the mere agent and trustee for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves. - Andrew Carnegie, The Gospel of Wealth (1889)
The Industrial Revolution represents the primary impetus by which the United States transitioned from an agrarian-based to an industrial-based economy, which resulted in a massive and unprecedented shift in the population moving from the rural country to the urban city. While the wealth of the country significantly increased, much of it was held by a select few, populated by familiar names such as Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and Cornelius Vanderbilt. This group, eventually coined the Robber Barons, led incredibly luxurious lives that were far removed and in no way resembled the existences lived by the vast majority of the rest of the population. Counted among this group was a man whose name today would be recognized by very few and whose story is told in a 2013 biography written by John M. Adams: Theodore Montgomery Davis.
The life of Mr. Davis in many ways exemplified both the American Dream and the Gilded Age. He was born in 1838 to a well-liked minister known for his fire-and-brimstone preaching and was left destitute, along with his mother and two siblings, when his father died of consumption in 1841; Mr. Davis oldest sibling, Arthur, would join his father the following year. Despite further challenges and setbacks, Mr. Davis provided himself with education and eventually became a lawyer. While many of his colleagues had aspirations for politics or other public endeavors, it would seem that Mr. Davis sole interest was the employment of all means available to him to build a great fortune, and a great fortune is precisely what Mr. Davis acquired in a rather dubious manner; a true rags-to-riches story peppered with shady dealings.
Now we come to the point that connects the excerpt that opened this short review. Once his great fortune was secure, Mr. Davis could have spent the remainder of his life in the pursuit of selfish desires, and even though he did engage in those activities that were the hallmark of his class at that time, he developed a passion for Ancient Egypt and its antiquities, and he personally funded expeditions in the Valley of the Kings in the early 1900s that employed scientific methods to excavate tombs; he was not a simple grave robber. By 1914, Mr. Davis believed that no tombs of any import were left in the Valley of the Kings, and his concessions were passed on to Lord Carnarvon, whose funding provided the famous archaeologist Howard Carter with the means to eventually locate the tomb of King Tutankhamen in 1922, totally eclipsing the discoveries of Mr. Davis. Through the efforts and patronage of Mr. Davis, several very famous and important discoveries were made that significantly contributed to Egyptology, and those artifacts that were uncovered by his excavations were donated during his life or bequeathed after his death to the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Cairo Museum. As with his contemporaries, it would seem that Mr. Davis felt philanthropy was his duty.
Alternating between archaeological digs and stages in the life of Mr. Davis, Mr. Adams has captured an era in the United States when great fortunes produced a class of Americans of such wealth that the world was literally their oyster. It is fortunate for us, I suppose, that they were willing to share.

Before Delaney (Lane) McEvoy was born, the Ferae Naturae virus ravaged the United States causing millions of humans to mutate into an animal/human form. Many died within days but those who did not succumb went crazy and cannibalistic. With just a single bite from an infection creature the bitten is turned into one of the infected. Now these creatures inhabit the Feral Zone.
Fast forward to Lanes world almost 20 years later where a 700 foot wall was erected to section off the East - the Feral Zone - from the West. To go beyond the wall is forbidden, punishable by death. Even so, there are fetches who are willing, for a price, to chance death slipping past the wall to bring back valuables left behind in the exodus two decades before.
Lane was never sure why her father made her learn survivor skills but she is very grateful for them when she is sent beyond the wall to find him. Lane is on a desperate mission to save her father; she must go into the Feral Zone find her father, collect a photo for a high ranking official and come back free of the virus. Along the way she joins forces with two totally different young men, each with his own reasons for helping her. One is of her world, Everson, an up-tight sentry guard; the other, Rafe, is a rouge hunter who seems right at home in the wild environment of the Feral Zone.
Once beyond the wall Lane struggles with her own notions of humanity, faces death square in the eye, learns too late that you dont have to be a human being to be human, and faces her fear of the unknown. She also grapples with her growing feelings for both young men.
Inhuman by Kat Falls is fast paced with a world fully realized and drawn before our eyes. It has fantastical creatures, romance, adventure, horror, intrigue and mystery in a world that pits man against beast and begs us question our treatment of the beasts of this Earth. This book had me smiling, crying, biting my nails, and looking over my shoulder into the shadows.
And this is just the beginning of Lane's tale. Falls intends to write a trilogy and is half way through writing the second book. The release date of the next installment is rumored to be sometime this fall.

Maddie is seventeen, and already has been given the descriptive nickname Mad Dog Maddie for her wild behavior. After too many wrong turns she finds herself in a teen rehabilitation center. Rehab isnt for her she does not want to be there, nor does she think her problems are comparable to the others she meets in rehab. Everything changes when she meets another rehab patient, Stewart. The time that had been dragging on so slowly in rehab is now happening so fast after meeting Stewart.
And then she gets to go home.
Maddie is a changed girl now, shes actually trying to reel in her rage and desire to drink and party but, no one is buying it, no matter how hard she tries, what grades she gets, or how nice she acts towards others. Though she is sincerely trying to turn her life around for the better everyone, including Stewart, classmates, and her family, suspect shes going to slip back into her ways. So what about Stewart and his struggles? The more Maddie tries to turn to him for help the more distant he becomes.
Author Blake Nelson writes in a way that makes Maddies issues feel so real. Her struggle to reign in her anger and party girl behavior are heart breaking to read. As the reader you understand her sincerity, and yet you also understand why those around her are leery to forgive and forget her wild past. They cant fully invest in Maddie again until shes proved herself, and this isnt anything she can turn around in a matter of months. She realizes she might be fighting her own reputation for years to come.
I would recommend Recovery Road to any young adult struggling to turn peoples opinions of themselves around. It isnt easy, you might not be able to get everyone to forgive you, but you can come out the other side as the person you want to be regardless of what anyone thinks about you.

TRAINING: A typical day of training will start with me waking up in the morning and working my strength and conditioning, with Tom Theofanopoulos leading the workout. I will then spend an hour doing a private wrestling lesson with my wrestling coach and training partner Jordan Keckler. I will then go home and recuperate for about five hours until it is time to train again. Then my night workout consists of an hour of kickboxing, and then an hour and a half of MMA or grappling. The closer we get to fight day we will add in additional exercises after the grappling or MMA workout.
When and why did you start training for fighting? It just kinda happened. It was never something I always wanted to do since I was a child. I always wanted to do boxing. My older brother asked if I wanted to try kickboxing with him. I was like "meh… I guess I'll try it" then a year later he asked me if I wanted to do jiu jitsu. I said "No way…" Well he made me do jiu jitsu anyways. And after I pulled off my first armbar I fell in love. Around that time my coach asked me if I wanted to try my hand at fighting an amateur kickboxing bout. I gave it a shot and didn't do too shabby. That was at the age of 14. By the age of 16 I was just as good, if not better than all the other professionals on the team. By the time I turned 16, and after 9 amateur fights I just fell in love with the rush and excitement and satisfaction of fighting.
What ranks and titles have you held? 3 time BJJ US Open Champion in blue belt once and purple belt twice, Brown belt in Behring Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Tachi Palace Fights Bantamweight champion.
Do you have any heroes? I wouldn't exactly call them heroes. There has never been anyone on Earth that I have come across that is exactly as I would want to be. That is why I wouldn't say I have any heroes, but I definitely have many people in my life that I want to be like in one aspect or another. My father is the hardest working man I've ever met in my life. My coach Tom Theofanopoulos is very wise and is the best teacher in general I have ever met. It takes a certain quality to be able to get through to people that other people can't get through to. Above all I strive to be like Jesus Christ. That's what it means to be a Christian. To be Christ-like. I have always admired people of great faith, which is what I lacked in my childhood, and am finally learning to have.
What is your favorite technique? Hehehe… my favorite technique? Well everyone that has trained with me or seen me compete in Jiu Jitsu definitely knows what it is. I'm gonna keep my Jiu Jitsu game secret from MMA until there comes a time when I need to use it. But without a doubt on the feet I love the straight right, left hook, and kicking people in the head in general.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? The UFC provides me an opportunity to make a living doing something I love and a platform to spread the word of God.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I started going to school for a degree in Business Management. I actually enjoy school, especially in the areas of business, psychology, math, philosophy, and general health. But unfortunately when I have an upcoming fight it is near impossible to give my full attention to fighting and school at the same time. So I am going to have to put school on hold for a while. Fighting is where my heart currently is and I feel it's what God's plan for me is at this moment.
What was your job before you started fighting? I've been fighting professionally since I was 16 so luckily I've never had to get a real job.

The 20,000-square-foot operation, the company's third, will have a payroll of about two dozen within a year, owner says
A California-based stand-up paddleboard company has big plans to grow the specialty watersport in Southwest Florida.
To do so, Hovie SUP has opened a 20,000- square-foot manufacturing operation in Port Manatee, the company's third U.S. plant, to serve the East Coast.
Within the next year, the company will employ about two dozen, owner Brian Hovnanian said Wednesday.
Hovnanian contends that the company's new manufacturing center is further proof that Florida is becoming the paddleboarding "hub of the world."
"This is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world," he said. "And what better place to expand than Florida, where the weather and water is perfect for SUP?"
Hovnanian wanted specifically to open in Southwest Florida, he said, because the glass-like waters in the Gulf of Mexico and the bays are ideal for the sport.
Stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP, entails riding an oversized surfboard standing up. The sport also uses an oar, similar to the kind found in kayaking or canoeing, to glide across the water.
With the opening of the plant, Hovie will no longer outsource paddleboard construction to China or Thailand, as it had done previously, Hovnanian said.
Hovie joins Venice-based Zap Skimboards Inc. in making watersport equipment in Southwest Florida. Zap, which was founded 30 years ago, is the world's largest maker of skimboards, which are wave-riding devices similar to surfboards, but smaller.
Hovnanian, a retired professional surfer, began making surfboards in the 1980s. He started making handcrafted stand-up paddleboards six years ago out of his Newport Beach, Calif., surfboard plant, just as the sport was gaining popularity.
Like surfing, paddleboarding grew in popularity in Hawaii and was first done by surfers as a low-impact way of exercising in the 1960s.
Today, Hovie makes various paddleboards, from 12-foot long boards used for competitive racing to open water paddleboards and boards that can be used in lakes. Prices range from $500 to $3,000 per board.
Hovie's boards are designed by yacht designer Tim Kernan, of Kernan Yacht Designs.
The sport has taken off in recent years as a leisure activity and tourist attraction in coastal cities.
Bob McFarland, owner of Sarasota Paddleboard Co., remembers struggling to find paddleboards when he started his rental, lesson and excursion company in Sarasota seven years ago.
"Now the appetite for the sport is enormous," McFarland said. "Over the last three years, it has totally exploded."
During its six years of existence, Hovie has spread across the country. The company's boards are now sold in nine Florida stores, although none in Sarasota or Manatee counties.
"Hovie SUP is an excellent brand, and Brian is a shaker in the SUP community," McFarland said. "To have them in the area is only going to grow the sport."
As part of the company's Florida debut, Hovie will host the Sarasota SUP Race Series beginning June 22 at Siesta Key Beach.
A new line of molded hollow paddleboards -- the first batch made at Hovie's new Port Manatee operation -- will be on display. Hovnanian also is planning a race at Nathan Benderson Park.

DeKALB - Eastland's lead was anything but comfortable for the nearly three quarters that the Cougars held it.
In the final two minutes of the game, it was absolutely nerve-wracking for them.
"Oh, my God, it was crazy," Eastland guard Courtney Walker said. "But we did it!"
Eastland edged Hinckley-Big Rock, 36-33, in the DeKalb Supersectional and will advance to the state tournament for the first time in the program's history.
"We made history and it's awesome," Walker said.
Eastland trailed after the first quarter, but took command in the second quarter after a 10-0 run gave the Cougars a 17-10 lead that included a Walker 3 and a jumper from Annie Forster.
Forster scored all four of her points off the bench in the second quarter and Eastland led at halftime, 19-12.
"We've been working on the whole depth thing the whole year," Eastland coach Colleen Finn-Henze said. "Forster came in for us big in the first half and she's like a starter to me anyway, but we can only start five."
Eastland's lead grew to its biggest (27-17) after a score from Lexie Macomber (team-high 14 points) with 3:39 left in the third quarter. But the Royals became aggressive.
Very aggressive.
"It was almost like a football match out there," Walker said.
Jacqueline Madden (game-high 17 points, seven steals) jumped passing lanes and H-BR's press wore down Eastland. The Royals eventually cut the Cougars' lead to 34-33 with 42.8 seconds left in the fourth.
"We got into a situation where things were very close, tight and scary," Macomber said. "But we pulled out of it."
Eastland was in the double bonus after Lauren Paver fouled Walker (seven points) and made one attempt for a 35-33 lead. The Cougars made a defensive stop before Walker took an intentional foul. Walker made her second attempt for Eastland's final point.
"I knew when I went to the line and thought I really need to get these in," said Walker, whose hands were still slightly shaking after the game. "We have to get a better lead than what we have right now.
"I just took a deep breath, got myself together and put one of them in."
Eastland had the possession, but couldn't make the inbounds pass as H-BR stole the ball for one final play.
"I just kept telling everyone to relax because I thought it was would help," Macomber said. "Everyone just must have stayed relaxed because we got the job done."
The Royals took two desperate attempts, a missed 3-pointer and a heave from Madden on a failed putback attempt to try and draw a foul.
"We kept our composure and stayed low," Walker said.
The Cougars will play Friday in the state semifinal against last year's state third-place Annawan. Annawan brought last year's Aquin team to the brink of losing in the semifinals, but Aquin won by a point en route to a second straight state championship.
This is the first time in Finn-Henze's 23-year career with the Cougars that the team has reached state, though some of her teams, including the 1995-96 and 2003-04 programs, came pretty close.
"It was always so heartbreaking not being able to take those teams to state," said Finn-Henze with her eyes welling up. "There were some deserved teams that couldn't make it out when playing teams like Byron, Hampshire - who's now 3A - and even Prophetstown.
"We ran into some tough teams and even if you have a really good team, it's hard to get there. So to have these guys break through is cool. We did it. I don't know how, but we got 'er done."

ill tank one, have you put thought into making pump bodies? Id deff buy a pump milled CF body, thatd be off the hook!
ill tank one, have you put thought into making pump bodies? Id deff buy a pump milled CF body, thatd be off the hook!
Ya count me in one 1 for sure. Ive been watching this thread for a while hoping it would come to life.
think ya would be willing to make one of these for the "old" rt ?
can it be done?
if so ill take one now lol
Not sure about that as the old RT had a larger diameter valve IIRC. We will try and measure an old RT valve and see if its do-able.Originally Posted by splashkitsrock420
Pump milling shouldn't be a problem, it wouldnt affect the CF part at all.
I have nothing good to put here...........
Actually the classic RT has a smaller diameter valve, which I just mesured mine for you, and it measures .995, which I believe is the same diameter fit as the mainbody, so all that would need to be done would be a longer tube, and a larger hole where the banjo bolt goes through
not sure about the Zlock, on the classic RT its cut into the body, not the rail
i really want to have a centerfeedbody on my rt....pls make this lol
That would be cool, but seems almost funny...a body design with interchangeable backs. A couple of different length fronts and a couple of backs could cover all of the center feed mags.
An RT length tube sounds like it would be do-able, though I have my doubts about the z-lock configuration. CF tube isn't exactly strong in the direction the z-lock would push if the banjo bolt were to fail, so there is a bit of a safety concern there. If Shane-O and me can get ahold of an RT to check out I may be able to come up with a solution.
In the meantime I'm work on finalizing the prints and model for the machinist to quote me. Once I have that quote, I can do some number crunching and see if we can start a preorder. I think thats the safest option for everyone involved with the project. My machinist is pretty quick so after I get the quotes it wouldn't be long before complete units would be ready to ship. Let me work a few things on my end and I'll post an update in a couple of days.
Along with that I'd like to thank everyone who has given input and shown interest in this project! I really enjoy this type of work and it goes right along with what I'm studying in school, so its a perfect match. Once again, thanks guys!
keep me updated! looks awesome!
so is the final body going to look like that milled ULE front in the CAD pic?
UGGH tough deciesion this or the micromag....
I will take one - Count me in
If you can get one for the classic RT count me in
I think the micromag design is very cool. I think the money spent on those bodies will be well preserved in value. I would like to have one and may sign up.Originally Posted by Ruler_Mark
My problem is that I'm not really a pretty marker collector and I have never had a use for anything other than a vertical feed. The rotary breech makes the body useful to many people, but I don't buy new stuff with the idea of selling it to someone else.
The CF body is a fundamental design that I could put on a couple of markers, whereas the micromag begs to be a whole different mag and feed system.
It is great to have choices in mag parts again.
definately count me in for a CF mag body. I would buy one of these INSTEAD of a 2009 micromag any day of the week.

Definitely need to get something this year. Lots of good stuff floating by.
cost? im intrested
Alright, another update.
I finished a preliminary print for my machinist to quote from and he is working on that. He said he should get a quote back to me early this coming week. I am finalizing up the design and getting everything set up for a production run. Some final thoughts I need to know from you guys:
1. What feedneck threads?
2. What ball detent threads? Single or double?
3. What barrel threads?
4. Include feedneck with body?
5. Include detents with body?
I had planned on basically copying the ULE body specs and using an Angel threaded feedneck and detents and 'Cocker barrel threads. I am going to include the washer and c-clip with the body of course, but should I also include detents and a feedneck? If I were to include those, what brand/style would you guys want? Of course it would add to the final cost of the body, but its something to consider. I was thinking of including the detents but no feedneck so the customer can install whatever style they feel fit with.
Let me know what you want!
I say keep it simple. AGD standards are good and easy (for AGD collectors and enthusiasts). The double detent is a plus though!Originally Posted by warpedmephisto
Of course, as it'll be a new body for everyone, I'd like to have mine with detents and feedneck installed as well.
Dual detents would be great, I would like to see it with the option of getting it without feedneck or detents to keep the cost down. Keep the threading the same as ule body. Glad to see this unfolding.
your design is HOT HOT HOT! I will take one!
I like your idea, skyless. I'm thinking along the lines of no feedneck option as there's just too many out there to boil down to one style for everyone, and an option for AGD detents for a little more. I too would like to stick to ULE body standards to keep it simple.
Thanks for the input, guys.
I would go with just the body and leave the detents and feednecks off as well...
It's too easy to pick those up anywhere else and alot already have extras. This would allow everyone to get their own color as well.
I'd do the Angel/Angel/Cocker thing same as the ULE as well..
Gota have cocker barrel threads....feedneck threads...angel feednecks are getting harder to find...I would not mind Ion feedneck threads. It is hard to find super low lever clamping angel feednecks...
oh yeah...color has to be gloss black...
Well so far I have shot darn near 3 cases of paint out of it, and......................................
You'll have to wait till tomorrow when I can take it apart and check for wear. But no issues came up in the shooting of said paintballs.
Tune in tomorrow, same carbon fiber time, same carbon fiber channel!
My opinions on things.
CCM has a thread thats for CCM guns feednecks which is supposedly stronger than any others. I will check with them and see what they say. Angel threaded feednecks seem to be harder to find, anyone else have trouble finding them? Double detents or single, I dont think it really matters. Has anyone actually had a problem with only one detent? And again what is the availability of angel threaded detents?
AngelOriginally Posted by warpedmephisto
Angel with Double DetentsOriginally Posted by warpedmephisto
Cocker (I prefer Angel but cocker is the vast agreed upon threading)Originally Posted by warpedmephisto
No,... most people would change this anyways.Originally Posted by warpedmephisto
No to this as well. Anno dictates color of detents,.. Id save the cost and save some time with this step.Originally Posted by warpedmephisto

PS: please put me in for a body
Jai "P8ntbal4me" Menard
Motion P8nt!
More seriously when are we talking production here? Should there be a pre-order list?
Yeah I'm looking for another ANGEL feedneck for a marker and am having issues...
Maybe it would be better to run something newer with more options...
As for Barrel thread though.. I think AC is the majority of stuff out there... and detents?? Well... not sure about those either....
I'd say run what the most prominent out there is.
Sure it will change, but that will take time. The angel feeds are getting scarce. Not sure why really.
If you go with non-ULE threading, people will not be able to get the body and just swap it out.
You kind of have that with the dual detents anyway, and it would be nice to have some feed neck choices even though CCM has been good enough. I would probably want a new feedneck anyway.
I don't see changing barrel threads from autococker though. There are way too many autococker barrels already in the closet to do any different.

There's genius at work in "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," and I don't just mean the brilliant dog, Peabody. Following the lead of the '60s cartoon on which it's based, "Peabody" finds a clever way to appeal to both children and the adults who bring them.
Peabody is a slightly stuffy Nobel Prize winner and Harvard graduate (valedogtorian, pa-dum-pum) who is raising a boy named Sherman. That role switch is occasionally tough on Sherman, who gets teased at school, but there is compensation in the form of Peabody's supersecret WABAC, a time machine Peabody and Sherman use to travel not just to Egypt and Italy but also to ancient Egypt and Renaissance Italy.
Things get sticky, though, when Sherman and a classmate borrow the machine and, as children who misuse time-travel devices often do, punch a dangerous hole in the space/time continuum.
Ty Burrell, of TV's "Modern Family," is drolly funny as the voice of Peabody. Like Burrell's TV role, Peabody is an intelligent person who has a tendency to be a bit spacey and who can be more delighted in his own jokes than the people to whom he's telling them.
Peabody is fond of elaborate puns, which give "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" the opportunity to insert humor that will mostly appeal to adults but that won't put off kids. To wit: Of Marie Antoinette, whom the duo have just broken cake with, Peabody says, "She can't have her cake and edict, too."
The grandparents who originally enjoyed the cartoons 50 years ago can chuckle at Peabody's cornball puns while their grandchildren can agree with Sherman, who responds every time, "Ha-ha! Wait. I don't get it."
"Peabody" is a good-looking film, with especially sharp character design, but what it can't figure out how to do is to make what were originally short cartoons work in a 90-minute format.
There's an episodic quality to the script by former Twin Cities playwright and actor Craig Wright ("Orange Flower Water"), which makes the movie feel like it's repeating itself, and there's not much to the difficulties between Sherman and Peabody, which are supposed to be the movie's emotional throughline.
It's obvious that what the script needs is for Peabody, who is perfect at absolutely everything and has no vulnerabilities, to realize he could learn a thing or two about humanity from Sherman, but that theme lurks just out of reach of the movie.
Still, it's fun to watch the pair drop in on King Tut, Antoinette and Leonardo Da Vinci, who provide the film with another clever touch borrowed from the TV episodes: little lessons about history that will stick with kids and that go down painlessly.
"Mr. Peabody & Sherman"
Directed by: Rob Minkoff
Starring: Voices of Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Allison Janney
Rated: PG
Should you go? It's not in the league of, say, "The Lego Movie," but it's good fun.

I'm heaving a sigh of relief that Halloween is behind us for another year. Confession: I hate it with a passion. I like my holidays to have some meaning, and with its focus on candy, door-knocking and ghoulish displays outside many of the homes in my neighbourhood, the meaning of Halloween, if there is any, remains an enigma to me.
My kids have learned to tolerate their mom's antipathy towards a holiday they adore. They know there will be no fake gravestones on our lawn, no cobwebs strung outside the garage and no mechanical spiders dangling from the roof. Since my husband insists on it, we're among those three-quarters of Canadians who spend money stocking up on candy, contributing to the mind-boggling $331 million this country spends on sweet junk each year in October. But when they choose to dress up, my kids are on their own to improvise an outfit from their trusty dress-up drawer. Shopping trips are out of the question.
As a Jewish mother, I'm inclined to forbid their participation in Halloween completely. Religiously, it feels like spiritual anathema, a mockery of death and the afterlife. Besides, what can it offer, I wonder, aside from unwanted cavities?
But something has stopped me from cutting Halloween out of their lives. The parent in me is softened by my kids' ardent desire to join their neighbourhood friends, to feel part of the excitement generated by school Halloween parties, advertisements and in-store marketing collateral. There's also the small issue of stockpiling candy, a double-edged sword for a mother with a penchant for Kit Kat chocolate bars, of which there's a verdant supply in those candy bags, year after year.
I don't keep quiet about my disdain for Halloween, and each year I invite my kids to question exactly why they want to participate and what they plan to do with their loot. We discuss what havoc that candy will unleash on their teeth, how little nourishment it offers their growing bodies and how many homeowners consider the persistent knocks on the door to be an annoyance exceeded only by ungrateful kids who don't even murmur a thank you after you've contributed to their stash.
This year, my cavity preaching must have paid off. My children arrived home, dumped their candy on the floor and immediately started bargaining to exchange it with their father for a few dollars. Sure, I'm still finding wrappers in unsuspecting corners of the house, but the vast majority of our candy stockpile is thankfully gone, until next year at the very least.
I'm off the hook for another 11 months, at which point the meaningless horror of Halloween will confront me, once again. Look for me in the shadows. I'll be the reluctant parent huddled in a coat a few feet from my kids as they knock on the door clasping bulging bags of candy. I'll be the one reminding them to say thank you, trying to usher them home and attempting to rid those candy bags of the worst cavity culprits. If there's a Grinch of Halloween, it's me. Toss it firmly off the calendar, I say. I wouldn't miss it for a second.

The NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing program makes use of an advisory committee and state coordinators.
Achievement Awards Advisory Committee: To advise staff on the nature, policies, and procedures regarding the NCTE Achievement Awards, including the following issues: development of a specific plan for involving more public schools in the awards, especially those with large non-white populations; revision of the structure of the award to mitigate the negative effects of competition on student identity and learning; consideration and development of diversified awards: that recognize development of English Language Learners in writing in their first language as well as English composition; that recognize remarkable improvement or growth in writing; that recognize multi-modal composition (digital or non-digital); and that recognize remarkable risk-taking with the process of writing, instead of the exclusive focus on the final draft; and consideration of revising the Achievement Awards procedure, to eliminate the test-like, single-draft, timed essay as part of the award criteria, since recent developments in high-stakes assessment already privilege those who write quickly; and to consider and make recommendations for ways that your work might interface with NCTE's National Day on Writing.
State Coordinators: To advise the NCTE staff liaison on any changes that should be made in the Achievement Awards program; review judging procedures; recommend judges; recommend ways of publicizing the program; investigate ways of aiding the winners; and give suggestions for the impromptu theme topic.

The self-styled "insane architect" Aurin F. Hill (b. 1853) was a free thinking carpenter and architect in Boston who waged a concerted campaign for his vision of social reform at the turn of the twentieth century. A Spiritualist, social radical, and union man, Hill carried the torch for issues ranging from the nationalization of railroads and corporations to civil rights and women's rights, and joined in opposition to vaccination, Comstockery and censorship, capital punishment, and lynching. A writing medium, married to the Spiritual evangelist Izetta Sears-Hill, he became President of the National Spiritual Alliance in 1915, a Spiritualist organization based in Lake Pleasant, Mass.
Esoteric, rambling, and often difficult to follow, the Hill papers provide profound insight into the eclectic mind of an important Boston Spiritualist and labor activist at the turn of the twentieth century. Whether written as a diary or scattered notes, a scrapbook, essays, or letters to the editor, Hill's writings cover a wide range of topics, from spirit influence to labor law, from his confinements for insanity to police strikes, hypnotism, reincarnation, and housing. More than just a reflection of one man's psychology, the collection reveals much about broader social attitudes toward gender and race, sexuality, urban life, politics, and religion, and the collection is a particularly important resource for the history of the American Spiritualist movement between 1890 and 1920.

Hey, Hola, Salut, Aloha, Ciao, Olá, Hallo!!!
Coaches lead, teach, and inspire. Their position amongst a team is essential for success, as they are like a compass pointing the way to a desired goal. Frequently in athletics, players don't care how much coaches know until they know how much they care. Coach Belle understands this concept well, and will lead the Dartmouth Women's Basketball with her passion, preparation, and positive energy. We are thrilled to welcome our new bright spark, Coach Belle, to the Big Green family.
In our initial meeting with Coach Belle during the interview process, I was immediately impressed by her respect for Coach Wielgus, our previous coaching staff, and Dartmouth women's basketball's tradition of excellence in the Ivy League. Coach Belle's kindness was projected through her appreciation for Coach Wielgus and all she has done for collegiate women's basketball. As the meeting with Coach Belle proceeded, we developed a sense of her core values (which she expressed were respect, attitude, and preparation), observed how her kindness and positive energy would motivate our team, and acquired an idea about the basketball style (up-tempo, high intensity) she hopes to implement within our team. Daisy's (Jordan) first impression of Coach Belle was that she has "high energy," while Sofia (Roman) said that "she is very positive and friendly—it's comfortable to have a conversation with her." Kasey (Crockett) asserted that she seems to "definitely have a plan."
Coach Belle, since the announcement of her hiring, has been able to spend a week on campus. Changes have already been made within our strength program-- they are "much faster" (Lauren Taiclet) and "very efficient" (Kamala Thompson). In our first small groups workout with Coach Belle, we were able to pick up the intensity. "Our first skills workout with her was high paced with high energy," claimed Milica (Toskovic). Jordyn (Turner) added that the session was "also fun."
The team is thrilled about the potential for next season. "There's going to be a definite positive change, and I'm excited about it," said Tia (Dawson). Incoming seniors Eve (Zelinger) and Nicola (Zimmer), despite being off campus this term in Washington D.C., also have positive things to say about our new coach. "Although I haven't yet met Coach Belle [in person], I am excited by her energy and passion--I am really excited for a great last season," commented Eve. Nicola shared, "she has a contagious energy and I'm super excited to be coached by a former point guard."
As we continue with the remainder of our "pre-pre-season" (a term Coach Belle used to describe our current workouts), we are looking forward to what is to come for our Dartmouth women's basketball family. We have "growth opportunities" (another term Coach Belle uses in replacement of "weaknesses"—she doesn't like negative words) that we are working to improve. With higher intensity, an increased accountability toward positive attitudes and respect, a new vision of preparation, and a giant spark of energy from Coach Belle, we have begun our journey back to a tradition of success. Ivy League Championship No. 18… we are coming for you!
Tah Tah For Now,
Kaitana Martinez #21 (Hailey, Idaho)

Valentine's Day, it seems, is as lovely as it is an interesting holiday.
Valentine's Day, it seems, is as lovely as it is an interesting holiday. The romantic type of atmosphere is what could be called undeniable, and for a good number of reasons it could also be considered amusing. And not only for the "romance atmosphere" reason, but also to see how different people handle it.
What I've never really, fully understood was how several people--single people primarily--express actual depression over Valentine's Day or even hatred of it. What I also sort of don't understand (but do see how it occurs) is people only expressing gratitude or affection on Valentine's Day and only--or especially--on Valentine's Day. It's as though people need some sort of excuse to go out of their way for these types of things, for emotions of those types and such. It's great that Valentine's Day provides this excuse and a special sort of opportunity, and it can be a great day to show any sort of gratitude, affection, or joy or anything not only to the people you really love but also just friends, important people in your life. But using patternistic thinking for just a moment, Valentine's Day is one day out of every year, to put it in perspective. So: why isn't Valentine's Day every day? Or, at least, why isn't it celebrated every day?
If you love someone, that can be shown all of the time and without need for occasion to make those feelings an occasion. The same can be said for any favorable emotion to a person, even just friendship. The opportunity to show that you're thankful for someone, that they mean something to you, that you love them, anything really, shouldn't ever be passed up, nor should it be ignored at any time. We have those opportunities every day, all of the time. And considering how short life really is and how temporary of a concept life itself is, it seems that we don't (to generalize) use those opportunities enough, we don't open up enough.
Of course, there are plenty of messages and philosophies out there to encourage this sort of mentality on life, including from movies and books, yet even still it isn't an easy mentality to follow through with, for some reason. And by no means am I saying I'm any better as far as this mentality towards life and people, but I do try, as many do.
Now, Valentine's Day is a wonderful holiday, for any number of reasons. Personally, thanks to certain people in my life, the special and dear ones particularly, I had an especially great Valentine's Day. And it seemed that way for several people, according to my observations throughout the school-day, which was sort of amusing in some ways and simply pleasant. But it just seems to me that Valentine's Day should be every day, in a sense.
