It hasn't completely closed, though, as Stanford proved on Sunday.
Chiney Ogwumike notched her 15th double-double of the season and the No. 6 Cardinal handed 20th-ranked Colorado a 69-56 loss at Maples Pavilion.
Freshman Jamee Swan tied her career high with 14 points for the Buffs (15-4, 4-4 Pac-12), but CU dropped to 0-4 against the Cardinal since joining the Pac-12 last season.
All four of CU's losses have come against Pac-12 rivals Stanford and California, which is ranked No. 7 in the country. Stanford (18-2, 7-1) improved to 85-1 in its last 86 games against Pac-12 teams.
CU trailed 51-30 with 14:26 to play, but went on a 16-2 run to pull within 53-46 with 8 minutes to play. Ashley Wilson and Brittany Wilson both hit 3-pointers during that run.
Despite that furious rally, CU didn't have enough to complete the comeback. Stanford responded with a 7-0 burst to boost the lead back into double-digits, where it stayed throughout the final six minutes.
Swan made 7 of 9 shots from the floor and also had six rebounds. Chucky Jeffery added 13 points, seven rebounds, five steals and four assists. Brittany Wilson had nine points.
Freshman Arielle Roberson struggled for the Buffs, going 0-for-8 from the floor and 2-for-6 at the free throw line. She finished with a career-low two points.
Ogwumike finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Cardinal. Joslyn Tinkle added 16 points and Toni Kokenis had 15 points.
CU played a solid first half, trailing just 35-26 at the break. The Buffs got within 26-23 with 3:22 to go in the half, but Stanford had a 9-3 advantage in the final 3:04.
The Buffs got the first two points of the second half, but then Stanford went on a 16-2 run that appeared to put the game away. That gave the Cardinal a 51-30 lead with 14:26 to play before CU's rally to get back into the game.

Just when we thought Casey Kasem could rest in peace ...
The legendary radio personality died June 15 in Washington state and still hasn't been buried, a spokesman for Kasem's daughter told the Associated Press.
Danny Deraney, publicist for Kerri Kasem, says Kasem's children from his first marriage hope he will be buried at Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, California, as he reportedly wished. But his body is apparently still in a Tacoma funeral home.
Deraney says Kasem's second wife, Jean Kasem, has the rights to his body and hasn't arranged for him to be buried.
St. Anthony Hospital spokesman Scott Thompson said Jean Kasem collected her husband's remains after he died, but Thompson didn't know what arrangements she made.
A call to from the Associated Press to Jean Kasem's attorney was not immediately returned Tuesday.
Kasem died after a long illness, during which his wife and children from his first marriage fought over seeing him. Jean Kasem took him to Washington without notifying his kids, who eventually went to court to get access to their father.

They have several firsts to their credit and this is certainly confirmation of their dedication to innovation and improvement of design and one of those, the three paddle drag racing clutch with metallic pads was a boon to the drag racing arena in its abolition of broken clutch hubs. RAM CLUTCHES was responsible for extending the life of the center clutch pate with its sui generis Poly Coil clutch hub spring and the list goes on particularly in the racing arena and has earned them a competitive place in the aftermarket performance clutch arena.

Nevertheless ...
On Thursday, Donaldson wrote that Manny Ramirez was wrong to skip the team's trip to Washington, DC -- not so much for the White House ceremony, but for the subsequent visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center:
[Ramirez] was delighted, upon passing his citizenship test a few years ago, to run out to left field at Fenway waving a small American flag. ... It's easy to wave a flag. What's not so easy is to defend that flag.So Iraq needed to be invaded so baseball players like Manny Ramirez could continue being offered multi-million dollar contracts? Well, that's a rationale I have not heard.
When it came time for payback, to do a little something for servicemen who help make it possible for Ramirez to make as much money as he does, Manny couldn't be bothered. ...
Instead of visiting veterans, some of whom lost limbs in the service of their country, Manny opted to stay in Florida. Even sitting in first class, it could be uncomfortable, not to mention inconvenient, flying for a few hours. Not quite like the discomfort endured by a wounded 19-year-old having to walk with the aid of a prosthetic device for the rest of his life, but, Manny being Manny, it's doubtful that thought ever crossed his self-centered mind. ...
[T]urning his back on hospitalized veterans?
That's inexcusable and unforgivable.
It's also Manny, being Manny.
First of all, I have no idea why Manny decided to stay in Florida. I don't know what he thinks about any political issue -- if he's ever has spoken out, I've forgotten about it. However, I think it's more than a coincidence that he has skipped both White House trips. My guess? Manny doesn't like Bush.
But here's my point (and why this post is actually more about the media): Suppose I'm right. How would Donaldson react if Manny, after touring Walter Reed, gave an impassioned statement about how he believed Bush was solely to blame for the missing arms and legs and eyes of these men and women? What if he had said, to borrow some of Donaldson's own words,
I'm grateful that I have been able to live a blessed life in this country -- you remember when I carried a little flag out on the field after I became a citizen -- but these servicemen -- they thought they were defending their country -- but there was no threat. They have been exploited and used by their government and I think it's horrible that they are the only ones that have had to pay a price for their country's mistakes.Would Donaldson rush to his typewriter to wax patriotic that Ramirez was exercising his right of free speech -- a right that Donaldson, judging from this column, believes is being defending in Iraq?
I doubt it. Direct and implied praise for the war is quoted by sportswriters without comment, or with admiration. A statement such as what I wrote above -- while also expressing a political opinion, albeit one from the other side of aisle -- would likely ignite a firestorm.

Frazier Selected for College Hall of Fame
Nebraska great Tommie Frazier is among 14 players and coaches who are part of the 2013 College Football Hall of Fame class. This year's list of inductees was announced on Tuesday in New York City by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.
Frazier will become the 16th Nebraska player in the College Football Hall of Fame, along with six former Cornhusker coaches. He and the other members of the 2013 Hall of Fame class will officially be inducted in New York City on Dec. 10. Frazier earned induction into the College Hall of Fame in his third year on the ballot. He is the third Husker in the past five years to be named to the Hall, joining 2009 inductee Grant Wistrom and 2011 honoree Will Shields.
Frazier is the first Nebraska quarterback to be selected for the College Football Hall of Fame. The Bradenton, Fla., native was a four-year starter at quarterback for the Huskers from 1992 to 1995, guiding Nebraska to three straight national title games in his final three seasons, including national championships in 1994 and 1995. Frazier posted a 33-3 record as a starting quarterback for the Huskers.
"This is quite an honor," Frazier said. "You never play the game and think you are going to be in the Hall of Fame one day. You just go out and try to be the best you can be and whatever happens, happens. I was fortunate that good things happened, but it certainly was not me alone. I had great teammates and coaches that played a big part in this honor.
"If we had not won all those games and two national championships, I wouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. I was surrounded by great players at every position, and many of those guys had great careers themselves. I did have the role of being a coach on the field, but the guys around me made that much easier. With the supporting cast we had on offense, many times regardless of whether I had us in the right play or wrong play, they made it work."
Frazier joins his Nebraska head coach, Tom Osborne, in the College Football Hall of Fame. Osborne was inducted into the Hall in 1998, immediately following his retirement. Osborne said Frazier had all the characteristics of a great player and competitor.
"Tommie was an outstanding competitor," Osborne said. "He did everything he could to win, and was a good leader by example. He expected a lot out of himself and the people around him. He was an outstanding leader and catalyst and made everyone around him better. Tommie managed the game very well, and was a natural option quarterback. He had a good sense of timing, when to pitch, when not to pitch. He had excellent balance, good speed and was very strong.
"Tommie was better prepared to start as a freshman than any quarterback we had. That's not easy to do, but he was unusually mature and competitive. He had played at a high level in front of big crowds in high school, so going out and playing in a major college game was not intimidating to him."
Frazier was the first true freshman ever to start at quarterback for Nebraska, taking the reins of the offense midway through the 1992 season. He went on to lead Osborne's Huskers through one of the most dominant runs in college football history from 1993 to 1995.
Frazier completed his career with 5,476 yards of total offense, while accounting for 79 touchdowns, including 43 passing scores and another 36 on the ground.
As a freshman in 1992, Frazier led Nebraska to a Big Eight title and a trip to the Orange Bowl. A year later in 1993, Frazier engineered Nebraska to a perfect 11-0 regular season. In the Orange Bowl against Florida State, Nebraska narrowly lost out on a national championship, losing 18-16 to the Seminoles.
Frazier's junior season in 1994 was disrupted by injury, but he returned from a seven-game absence to direct the Huskers to a come-from-behind Orange Bowl win over Miami. The 24-17 victory locked up Nebraska's first national title in 23 seasons.
As a senior, Frazier led one of the most explosive offenses in college football history, as Nebraska steamrolled its way to a 12-0 record and a second consecutive national championship. Frazier rushed for 604 yards on 14 touchdowns on just 97 attempts, while throwing for 17 touchdowns, with only four interceptions. With Frazier at the helm, the 1995 Nebraska offense led the nation in scoring (52.4 ppg), rushing (399.8 ypg) and ranked second in total offense (556.3 ypg).
Frazier capped his remarkable career with one of the finest performances ever in a national championship game. In a 62-24 rout of Florida in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Frazier rushed 16 times for 199 yards and two touchdowns, including a memorable 75-yard scamper in the third quarter to punctuate the Nebraska victory.
As a senior, eight organizations recognized Frazier as a first-team All-American, including the AP, UPI, Walter Camp, Football Writers Association of America, American Football Quarterly, College Sports, Football Foundation and AFCA. Frazier captured the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, finishing second in the Heisman Trophy voting, received the UPI's Player-of-the-Year and The Sporting News Offensive Player-of-the-Year awards, and was a finalist for the Davey O'Brien, Maxwell and Walter Camp Player-of-the-Year awards.
Frazier was voted as the quarterback of Nebraska's All-Century Team and was voted as one of the 10 greatest college football players of the century according to Sport Magazine. Frazier's jersey was retired in the fall of 1996, and he was inducted in the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
Additional quotes from Tommie Frazier:
On joining Coach Osborne in the College Hall of Fame:
"It means a lot to me to join him in the College Hall of Fame. There aren't many players that can say that. Coach Osborne took a big chance on me as a freshman in 1992. He saw something in me to give me the keys to the car, and for him to trust me with our offense meant a lot to me."
On being the first Nebraska quarterback named to College Hall of Fame:
"There have been a lot of great Nebraska quarterbacks before me, guys like Jerry Tagge, Dave Humm, Vince Ferragamo, Turner Gill, Steve Taylor. For me to be the first of that group is a quite an honor. Turner Gill is more deserving than me to be the first Nebraska quarterback in the Hall of Fame because he taught me everything I know. Eric Crouch is also very deserving of the honor and hopefully his time will come soon."
On support of Nebraska fans through the years:
"The support of the fans in Nebraska has been constant. The past two years when I didn't get selected I wasn't worried because you can only control what you can control. I appreciated all the fan support I received though. That means a lot because I wasn't out there to play for myself. I played for the fans, my family, my coaches and my teammates."
Quote from Liberty Head Coach Turner Gill, Frazier's position coach at Nebraska:
"Tommie was the ultimate competitor, leader and champion that I have ever coached. He demonstrated this from the first day at practice through the last football snap that he ever took at Nebraska."

Every now and again I am reminded of just how awesome the people of this great area truly are.
I've been wanting to do a food collection again to help out the local Salvation Army's food pantry because the need is so great. So, my fellow co-workers and I did just that. We partnered with the local Salvation Army and collected food at our office at Preferred Insurance.
At first there were a few things that each of us had brought in, but then it began to take off. We designated one whole section of our lobby to this collection.
Shortly after it became known of our efforts, the food started coming in. It was awesome! Customers brought in non-perishable food items, Boy Scouts brought in canned goods, friends did, and other businesses, as well such as Service Master of Kalamazoo, Serv-Pro, and Frohriep's Body Shop.
But, what made the effort even more poignant were those who we did not know who randomly stopped by to leave their food donations. It was touching to see parents bring their kids by to help with this great cause and teach them about humility.
After it was all said and done, we filled out lobby area packing some 15 large boxes with all of the food. I'm pretty sure that Nick Metzger, Case Worker for the Salavation Army, was impressed. He and a volunteer came by to pick up all the collected food that will go to help so many families this holiday season. I'm also sure that the families helped by all this food collected are appreciative of everyone's efforts.
But just because it's the holidays doesn't mean the need is only now. Unfortunately, the need is always there as hunger truly doesn't know just one season.
Again, thank you to everyone who took part in making this mission of ours a success.
Hunger knows no season
Every now and again I am reminded of just how awesome the people of this great area truly are.

Settlement talks underway between NL and fired officer
New London - Behind-the-scenes negotiations, with an eye towards a settlement, are in the works between the city and Thomas Northup, a former New London police officer fired for shooting and wounding the unarmed driver of a stolen ice truck.
The most recent court filing in the city's pending appeal of Northup's rehiring shows the two sides are embroiled in ongoing talks. What outcome those talks might yield is something both sides have declined to discuss.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio fired Northup on March 22, 2012, for "use of excessive and unreasonable force," following an internal investigation into the Aug. 24, 2011, shooting.
The police union, however, brought the case to the state Board of Mediation and Arbitration. The board ruled in October that the city did not have just cause to terminate Northup, telling the city to hire him back.
The city appealed the board's decision and in the pending lawsuit asks a judge to dismiss the board's decision. There has been little movement in the case thus far, with city attorney Brian Estep twice asking for time extensions to submit legal briefs.
"The parties are currently in negotiations with attempts in settling this matter and agree to this extension of time to save unnecessary legal costs," Estep wrote in his latest motion, filed on Feb. 24 in New London Superior Court.
On Tuesday, Estep confirmed the two sides were working on a resolution but declined to comment further. Similarly, Northup's attorney, Richard Gudis, declined to comment on the case but said he had not objected to the motion for an extension of time.
The city council appears to be split on whether or not to back the mayor's decision to appeal the labor board's decision. The council has continually refused to act on a resolution presented in January by city council member Michael Passero to withdraw the appeal. The most recent call to put the resolution to a vote, following an executive session, failed by a 4 to 3 vote.
Council President Wade Hyslop, who said the city has a right to appeal the decision, said the votes indicate four councilors support the mayor's decision.
Hyslop joined councilors Efrain Dominguez, Anthony Nolan and Erica Richardson to vote against putting the resolution to a vote. Councilors Michael Passero, Michael Tranchida and Martin Olsen voted to put the resolution to a vote.
Passero disagrees with Hyslop's assessment of councilors' support for the appeal, saying "we don't know because the motion's been tabled."
"If all four supported the mayor's decision, then why don't they vote to take it off the table?" he said.
Passero has told the council they are violating their obligations and contractual agreement by challenging the arbitrator's decision and prolonging the process.
"My position is we have a contractual agreement with the police union to resolve these disputes in arbitration. The final step when a dispute is not able to be resolved is to let an arbitrator resolve it. It's final and binding in this police contract. We're welching on our contractual agreement," Passero said. "I'm not going to support that. In my opinion, this is a frivolous appeal."
Northup shot Curtis Cunningham four times on Aug. 24, 2011, following a chase through the city that led to a crash. Cunningham was standing in the overturned truck when Northup yelled for him to "drop the weapon," before Northup fired five shots. Northup told investigators he believed Cunningham had a gun and Cunningham had refused to remove his hands from his under his shirt.
Cunningham later tested positive for PCP, according to police reports. Cunningham has filed a federal lawsuit in the case.
Northup was cleared of wrongdoing by an investigation by the state's attorney's office but was fired by the city for what Finizio said was violation of department policy.
The Board of Mediation and Arbitration, in their ruling, said the city did not present credible evidence that Northup's use of force was excessive or unlawful or that the city had any basis to dispute Northup's belief that Cunningham "presented an imminent harm."
In their appeal, the city claims "arbitrators were guilty of misconduct by refusing to hear evidence pertinent and material to the controversy or by other actions by which the rights of the City of New London have been prejudiced."
Northup could not be reached for comment.

Louisville Barista Bash 004 Recap
Several days have passed, yet the satisfaction of such a great bash still lingers! I believe it was a great event for the Louisville coffee community.

You guys were awesome and were so open to our requests and crazy ideas!
Monday Morning Cup: Kenya Nyeri Gathaithi Peaberry
Enjoying a V60 of some Kenya Nyeri Gathaithi Peaberry in the office. Roasted a bit darker, around a full city to full city + to tone down the brightness and acidity and bring out more winey sweetness. This cup has a buttery mouthfeel that sits on the back of the tongue, with lemon sweetness. Very nice.
Good Times
So, it has been an embarrassingly long time since we have blogged. Perhaps one could blame it on the holidays, or the New Year, or all the time spent trying to stick to those resolutions that we are about to break soon anyway, but in the end there is really no excuse. I'm not even sure what to write about, to tell the truth. We have some ideas for educational and helpful blogs in the future, but alas this is not one of those. So I will just take the time to speak of the good things in coffee that I have experienced over the last several hours.

Cam wants a Brit?
Here are Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth at the London premiere of Gambit tonight. Gambit will be released in the UK on November 21. I haven't been able to find a US date yet which isn't a good sign. And, as I wrote last month, if you've seen the trailer, that probably doesn't surprise you. It looks terrible, at least in the preview. And if it's not actually terrible, they should bury this clip and never let it be shown again.
As for Cam and her love situation...
Earlier this week, US Weekly reported that she was seated next to Robert Pattinson at an event recently and she would have straddled him at the table but #RobstenIsUnbroken:
"She was pretty obvious," says one of three witnesses who watched Diaz come on to the Twilight star, 26. "Cam was seated next to Rob at dinner. She was touching his arm, doing her big Cameron laugh at everything he said and trying really hard. He was polite, but not having it."
Don't ever let them tell you gossip blogs aren't useful, OK? A gossip blog could have helped Cam Diaz avoid embarrassment. And a friend like Gwyneth should have sent her the link. Not only to inform her that Robert Pattinson wasn't available but also to warn her about inviting the Twi-Hard crazy into her life.
Can you imagine how enraged they must have been?
Aaaaannd....we all win.
Because Cam's got some unhinged business in her too. Cam doesn't have GOOP's restraint. That confrontation, if she ever threw down with a deranged Twi, that would be fun to watch.

What took place in Sept.'07, when the military junta in Burma crushed the peaceful demonstrations by the Buddhist monks was unprecedented. Not only in Burma's history, but also in the context of the cultural history of the country as well. Although monks in the past, during the colonial period of the British, and the Japanese occupation in 1942-45, were killed because of their involvement in political matters, never in the history of the Burmese people, have so many Buddhist monks been brutally killed, beaten, and shown absolute disregard by those in power who are, and call themselves Buddhist. It is a sad and dark chapter of Burma's history indeed. Monks who were helped by leaders and prominent members of other faiths, such as, Muslem, Christian, Sikh, and Hindu, were also threatened by the military for rendering assistance to the Buddhist monks. Reports about prominent members of other faiths who are also being harassed and intimidated by the regime continually are frequent amongst the communities, within and outside the country. This atrocious situation is the reality today in Burma today. That is why the monks and the organizing committee of the Saffron Robe People's Movement would like to urge leaders and adherents of the Buddhist faith, and all other faiths: Moslem, Christian, Hindu, and Sikh to truly see what the military regime in Burma is really like. It is a degrading and destructive military regime towards all religious faiths is without doubt a chilling and tragic fact. Therefore, members of all faiths within and outside the country, we seek your help in this struggle; to rid Burma of a military regime that has descended to the lowest of the low; for killing monks who dared to call for change for the better of the peoples of Burma. The organizing committee for the Saffron Robe People's Movement of Burma. Dated 26 DEC.2007 For more information contact to; firstname.lastname@example.com

The proscribing monks also advocate the boycotting act to other monks in the world .The purpose of al this is to make those lay Buddihist who offend noble and good monks realize their mistake and become well-mannered and civilized.

Fluorescent_Proteins_and_Reporters >
Coexpression >
IRES-containing bicistronic vectors allow the simultaneous expression of two proteins separately but from the same RNA transcript (1, 2).
The IRES of the encephalomyocarditis virus (ECMV) permits the translation of two open reading frames from one messenger RNA. Although translation initiation of eukaryotic mRNAs occurs almost exclusively at the 5' cap, the IRES allows ribosomes to bind and initiate translation at a second, internal location. Thus, two proteins are expressed simultaneously from the same bicistronic mRNA transcript.
Clontech's pIRES Vector contains two multiple cloning sites flanking the central IRES for you to clone and express two genes of interest.
The pIRES Selection Vectors pIRESpuro3, pIREShyg3, pIRESneo3, and pIRESbleo3 each contain a multiple cloning site located upstream of the IRES from which a selection marker is expressed. Because your gene of interest and a selection marker are translated from a single RNA, you can be certain that nearly 100% of the colonies that are resistant to puromycin, hygromycin, G418, and bleomycin also express your protein of interest.
All IRES Selection Vectors contain a partially disabled IRES which reduces the efficiency of translation initiation for the selection marker relative to that of the cloned gene, and allows preferential selection of cells expressing high levels of your protein of interest (3).
Similarly, fluorescent protein-containing IRES vectors allow coexpression of your target protein and a fluorescent protein. Successfully transfected target cells are easily identified by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. The are several options for different fluorescent proteins, which include mCherry, ZsGreen1, and tdTomato (pLVX-IRES Vectors) and AcGFP1, DsRed2, and DsRed-Express (pIRES2 Vectors).

I remember when, as a child, my parents would take me and my brother to Bergen Park to see movies at the local theater. When I learned it was closing, that came as no shock to me; however, the reasons behind the closure bother me.

Customers have flocked to buy the AR-15 rifles and related high capacity magazines. BDC Gun Room in Shawnee typically sells one or two a week but sold 90 of them in just a few days as fear looms over the possibility of stricter gun control following the mass school shooting in Connecticut.
Gun shops are typically busy around the holidays, but this year, semiautomatic rifles have flown off store shelves locally and nationwide as fear looms over the possibility of stricter gun control following the mass school shooting in Connecticut.
Roland Presley with BDC Gun Room in Shawnee said customers have flocked to buy the AR-15 rifles and related high capacity magazines.
"There's been an influx in blind sales — they look at it and in five seconds they spend $1,000," Presley said.
BDC, which is currently sold out of the weapons, typically sells one or two a week but sold 90 of them in just a few days, Presley said.
"I don't have one in the building," he said, adding the weapons were sold to both repeat and new customers.
The deaths of 20 children and six adults in the Newtown, Conn., tragedy Dec. 14 prompted President Barack Obama to push for a study on tighter gun laws. Before the shooting, BDC had inventory that had been building up since March and was expected to last for most of 2013.
"Then we completely sold out in three days," Presley said.
Bill Santos, owner of B&M Firearms in Shawnee, said the family-owned business there specializes in military-type weapons and they've already sold more than 90 percent of their overall stock at the business.
"Sales have quadrupled as far as volume," Santos said, estimating he's sold about 300 to 400 of the military-style weapons in the past couple weeks.
"That's double a typical December," Santos said.
Because of the demand and similar scenarios at gun shops nationwide, Presley said it's difficult to order them from suppliers and there are already increased prices because demand is so high.
"Big shipments are a thing of the past," said BDC owner Jack Barrett, adding weapons wholesalers will be rationing out rifles to all dealers.
While some have been raising prices, Presley said BDC offered the rifles for the same price they've always been there, although they did set limits on the number people could purchase in order to service as many customers as possible.
Barrett said the rifles in stock went fast, and they also sold 90 additional receivers and about 250 magazines.
"We've quadrupled 2011 sales at this point," Barrett said. From Dec. 15 to Friday, Barrett said they had more than $250,000 in sales, estimating about 10 percent of that was from normal Christmas sales.
For Santos, it will be a challenge to find stock for his business, so there is some worry involved. Santos said he won't know until next month what options he'll have to replenish his inventory.
"Normally, we kept a pretty good stock…all the sudden it's gone in a couple weeks," Santos said. "If we can't get anything to put on the counter, we might as well close down."
Of the weapons that B&M has sold in the past two weeks, Santos said most were to first time buyers, although some customers were trading in their older, traditional weapons for the rifles.
Santos, who said these types of weapons were already popular, said many shoot them as a hobby or use them for hunting.
"They're fun to shoot," Santos said, adding it's a type of entertainment.

I am thinking about building either an Egomag, an Emag or a pumpmag. It started me thinking, since I only play woodsball, what would I use as my main? So let me ask, what do people consider their main marker?
I am thinking about building either an Egomag, an Emag or a pumpmag. It started me thinking, since I only play woodsball, what would I use as my main? So let me ask, what do people consider their main marker?
pump - s6.5
electro - egomag
mech - mag
For me it depends...if I'm on the field and there are a lot of walkons then Iuse my pumpmag...if there's a lot of 'speedballers' i use my mech...havents played woodsball for a couple years but always relied on one of my mechs...that's justme though
Primary is witch ever marker i decide to shoot that day lol.
Usually take three guns to the field when i go. One of the Mags (Classic or RT ULE), DP E1, and a Tippmann SL-68II.
When i get to feild if alot of renters are playing the Tippmann comes out, if its a bunch of the regulars i will most likely opt to shoot a Mag. If its the local feilds speed ball team practicing and joining the walk ons i usualy use the Mag as well but sometimes use the E1 (though with my new ninja tank and SHP reg i may see my E1 collecting alot of dust)

AGD 68 Automag, Azodin KP2, Sheridan PGP2, Tippmann Pro/Carbine, Crossover XVR, SL-68II, and TiPX.
This gets the most field time
http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...RKM-3D-Designs"You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes." RU
why thank you sir! I think so as well... i just cant put it down!
I'd have to say my primary is my E-Tac. I've spent some time getting it tuned perfectly, and I just enjoy playing with it.
Though I do occasionally play with my TPX, or my pump Mag (now with a Minimag body). I've also recently built a warp-less Pneumag, over the winter, and haven't really had a chance to play with that one yet.
My main squeeze is a warpfed Emag with stock and remote line, sometimes a Phantom depending on the crowd.
Really nothing special, but it's dialed in pretty well and always ends up being my go to. With a ULT, SHP tank and trigger stops, it's a paint hose.
P.S. love the Dallara Squid, but I would probably be too scared to play with it much like I am mine.
My main markers lately has been my phantom and adrelin Imp. But for years (7 or so) my pumpmag was the main gun.
I go through phases.. but I have three main guns;
ZR-1 for when I need to throw 2 cases a second at someone
E90 for when I am in a "HEY LOOK AT ME" kinda mood..
but no matter what I seem to always go back to my first love - my XMAG!
pretty much all I use XM15 custom
I've been using my Etek 3 mostly. When it's time for mechanical, I have a ULT'd, Xvalved, Y-Framed mag.
Thinking about putting together a pump on the stock autococker I have sitting around. And my MQ'd Freeflow cocker is really just a show piece right now.
as of the end of last season this was my main gun:
it is now torn apart and waiting on ALOT of parts, machining and ano ~Evil Smile~
this is my back-up, never had a problem with it and if I do, then I have the means to bludgeon my opponent
To leave feedback: Click seller/buyers name, Click feedback score, Click leave feedback
Day in Day out, this is my primary marker. . . . .
When there is a real need to throw an ungodly amount of paint I usually grab this. . . . .
. . . . and when I want to Pump I use this. . . . .
......You know you want one!!
Serious question. How do some of you guys muster the courage to play with some of these things? I knicked my ver framed mm2k9 and my brother had to talk me down from a ledge.....
It always just works. Going on 2 years now. Another Craigslist gold find. Still worth what I paid for it.
Wasnt very efficient at first but the more I used it....now its the most efficient marker I have.
"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty." Thomas Jefferson
Been using this since I built it in 03, for pump I use either a pump mag, unibody phantom or sniper ( the ram 68 in the pic isn't used anymore). If I really need to unload I'll borrow the wife's x-mag.
Flying the unfriendly skies.
Well when Im on the speedball field its the always reliable Ego:
When I play recball of course its a mag built by Bunny and pnue'ed by Loguzzzzz:
And I hate to say it on here, but I do sometimes shoot a Cocker that also has a pump kit:
How did this become a picture thread? If anything, shouldn't you guys post videos of you actually using your favorite markers?
As far as game types... strangely, depending on the field, "woods" games tend to consume more paint than smaller hyper/airball fields because you're engaging at longer distances (depending on cover) and trying to do stuff like lob paint through trees/leaves/branches, etc.
"Accuracy by aiming."
Definitely not on the A-Team.
hmm for me it depends on what i'm feeling like
with walk-ons its my GX-3 or classic mag with ANS parts
with the rest of my team its my E-orracle or pm5
if i'm playing a tourney its my NXT
Hopefully i'll be building a couple guns this summer... probably a pnuemag and a cocker
...Certified Gun Slinger For Plains Paintball...
2k11 G6R was my primary for most of 2012 after I got it working properly.
My go to gun before that and my alwasy trusty backup is my Jack Skellington Invert Mini
The different feel of the guns is the only thing thats keeping the G6R in my hands, I find if I stop playing with it for a while, I have to learn to point all over again with it. I have been shooting mags and then the Mini for so many years the single tube design is a no brainer and I can pick them up and shoot and be pretty dead nuts accurate, but stacked tube guns takea bit for me to get used to handling.
Sometimes It's Good to be EVIL
pretty much use it all the time, on everyone, everywhere.

URBANA, ILL. – Playing late into the night, the ninth-seeded Duke men's tennis team came from behind two times to upset eighth-seeded Kentucky, 4-2, Thursday night at the Kahn Outdoor Tennis Center. With the win, Duke advances to 25-5 on the season and reaches the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship for the second consecutive season.
"Going into the match, we said if everyone takes care of what they need to do, full effort, and execute their game plan, we'll have a chance," said assistant coach Jonathan Stokke. "That's all we asked for was a chance. We gave ourselves that chance, and we won the pressure points."
Duke dropped the doubles point for just the fifth time this season after the two squads battled for the crucial point for an hour and 30 minutes. The Wildcats claimed the first match of the evening, as freshman Michael Redlicki and sophomore Jason Tahir were defeated at the No. 2 position by Ryuji Hirooka and Beck Pennington, 8-0. The Blue Devils responded as the dynamic duo of senior Henrique Cunha and Raphael Hemmeler picked up their team-leading 36th victory of the dual season over Tom Jomby and Kevin Lai, 8-4. Cunha and Hemmeler went up two breaks, 5-2, before the Jomby and Lai responded with a break of their own against Hemmeler the very next game. After Cunha and Hemmeler reclaimed their two break advantage, 7-4, Hemmeler closed out the match and the win for 2nd-ranked tandem.
In the decisive doubles match, the duo of junior Fred Saba and freshman Bruno Semenzato fought hard but fell to Anthony Rossi and Juan Pablo Murra, 9-7. Trailing by a break, 3-5, Saba and Semenzato rallied to draw the match back to serve, 4-5. The teams traded service games, before the Kentucky tandem was able to break Semenzato's serve for the 9-7 victory.
In singles, the Blue Devils came out strong by taking five-of-six first sets. Tahir evened the team score, 1-1, after he downed Pennington, 6-3, 6-2, at the No. 6 position. The match started with four consecutive breaks from the two players. Tahir was able to hold serve, 3-3, before earning two more breaks on Pennington to take the first set, 6-3. A native of Rochester, N.Y., Tahir was able to break Pennington two times in the second set on his way to his 30th victory of the season.
The Wildcats regained the slim, 2-1, lead after Jomby defeated Saba, 6-4, 6-2. After earning a break to bring the match to serve, 4-5, in the first set, Saba could not hold his own serve and dropped the set, 6-4. Jomby gained the early advantage with a break in the second set, as Saba falls to 26-10 on the season.
Playing in his first match of the 2013 NCAA Championships, junior Chris Mengel quickly evened the match at two-all with a straight set, 6-2, 7-5, win over Kentucky's Lai at the No. 4 spot in the lineup. Mengel was able to quickly win the first break of the match, 2-1, before ultimately cruising through the first set, 6-2. In the second set, Mengel recorded a key break to take a slim 6-5 advantage, before holding serve to capture his 27th victory of the season.
Cunha, the 2013 ACC Player of the Year, gave Duke its first lead of the evening after he edged Rossi, 7-5, 6-4. Rossi gained the early advantage after breaking Cunha's serve to take a brief 2-1 lead in the first set. Cunha closed the first set by breaking Rossi, 7-5, and winning the set. In the second set, the players traded service games, before Cunha was able to break Rossi's serve and gain the 5-3 advantage. Rossi came back with a break of his own the next game, before Cunha, the senior captain, finished with a break and the 7-5, 6-4 victory.
"Our team worked so hard for the last couple weeks," said Cunha. "We were ready for this tournament. This is my senior year. This is my last time at this tournament, so I wanted to leave it all out there on the court. I played well. I'm glad that I played well and the guys stepped up."
After winning the first set, 6-3, against Kentucky's Grant Roberts, Hemmeler dropped the second set, 7-5. In the decisive third set and the match on the line, Hemmeler went up a break, 3-2, and held serve in the next game. In Roberts final service game, Hemmeler was able to go up a big second break, before holding serve to complete the 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 win. The match sealed the match for Duke and sends the squad to the quarterfinals for the second consecutive season.
"It was a nice situation to be able in, I played well in the first set and won that, 6-3." Hemmeler said. "In the final set, I just tried to play loose and enjoy the moment. It is a nice situation to be in."
At the No. 3 position, Redlicki was in a decisive third set, before his match against Minc was left unfinished, 6-3, 3-6, 2-4.
The win sets up a meeting in the quarterfinals with top-seeded UCLA Saturday, May 18 at 5 p.m. ET. The quarterfinal appearance will be the eighth in the program's history.

Clayton Town Council unanimously approved the 2013 budget Monday night, which includes no increases to town fees or property taxes for residents in the upcoming year.
The $4.33 million spending plan is slightly increased from last year's $4.16 million budget.
Councilman Dave Letterman, who chairs the budget committee, said the budget came out to a zero balance.
Earlier in the budget process, Letterman said the town had faced a $220,000 paper deficit, but the committee made enough cuts so that the town had a possible $28,000 surplus. This possible surplus was negated when council approved in November to upgrade the town clerk to office manager and the part-time clerk to full-time starting in January, leaving the town with a zero balance.
Under the 2013 budget, the property tax in Clayton will remain 65-cents per $100 of assessed value. The property tax hasn't changed since 1988.
The town's electric rate will stay at $11.94 for the first 45 kilowatts. The water rate remains at $9.50 for the first 2,000 gallons. The sewer rate will stay at $16.50 for the first 2,000 gallons. Trash pick up is still $21.20 per month.
There's not much going on in 2013 with no major projects expected for the town. A backhoe was going to be ordered in 2013, but a used $40,000 backhoe was instead ordered in 2012.
Letterman said they will order new computer equipment for the front office.
Prior to council voting on the budget, Letterman did have one comment to make in reference to a possible carry over of revenue from 2012 to 2013.
"I'd like to see how much [carry over] we have and put a portion of that into the pension fund for the employees," Letterman said. "We'd have to determine that after the audit's finished but I just wanted to give a heads up, give everybody something to think about."
After the meeting, Mayor Tom Horn gave regard to the individuals who helped put together the budget.
"Kudos out to all three department heads and Councilman Dave Letterman for his diligence in working with everybody as well as the rest of the council," Horn said.
Employees to be given Christmas gifts
Town Council passed a motion to give town employees a Christmas gift.
Horn started talks on the gift, stating the town has given some sort of Christmas gift/bonus to town employees for years. He said he couldn't remember the amount but he knew everyone got a little bonus.
Police Chief Brian Hill said employees have always gotten $100 for a Christmas bonus.
Therefore, a motion was made to proceed with Christmas bonuses as the town did last year and council approved.
Last year, full-time employees were given $100 while part-time employees were given $50.
Fire department donation
Town Council approved for the town to donate $10,000 to the Clayton Fire Company.
Letterman said the donation was already budgeted for in 2013 and made a motion to donate $10,000 to the fire department "for all they do and so they can maintain their costs." Council approved the motion.
Planning & Zoning meeting
The Planning and Zoning committee will meet Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at Town Hall to discuss the possible subdivision of the land at St. Joseph's.
Town Foreman Jeff Hurlock said the committee will review a preliminary plan that would take the St. Joseph's property and subdivide it into four or five parcels.

Miley Cyrus is subtle.
Igniting what one can only hope is a long, public feud that is eventually fought through social media and only settled by the victor giving birth to Justin Bieber's love child, Cyrus has apparently slammed Selena Gomez.
According to TMZ, Cyrus was performing in Milan, Italy, on Monday when she saw someone in the crowd holding up a huge cardboard cutout of Gomez's face. She happened to be singing her delicate and understated song "FU" when she grabbed the cutout and sang to it for a bit.
Maybe the song means "Fight Underwear."
Cyrus eventually tossed the cutout away.
It's unclear -- maybe FU stands for "Forever Unclear" -- whether Cyrus has a real beef with Gomez or was just having some fun at the singer's expense. Though TMZ pointed out that Cyrus hung out with Bieber for some time last summer.
Your move, Selena.

When Rotary International President Sakuji Tanaka of Japan visits Oak Ridge March 8-10, Rotarians in the city's three clubs will recognize him as a great role model.
When Rotary International President Sakuji Tanaka of Japan visits Oak Ridge March 8-10, Rotarians in the city's three clubs will recognize him as a great role model.
Tanaka has demonstrated the Rotary motto "Service above Self" many times. He declared his theme is "Peace through Service" and that Rotary International would sponsor three international peace forums in Berlin, Germany; Honolulu, Hawaii, and Hiroshima, Japan.
He agreed to speak March 9 at the Oak Ridge Peace Forum, the only scheduled peace forum sponsored by a Rotary district (District 6780) in the continental United States that the Rotary International president will address. The district governor is Jack Bailey of Oak Ridge.
In his working life, Tanaka served as chairman of the Daika Co. and president of the National Household Papers Distribution Association of Japan. He also was vice president of the Yashio City Chamber of Commerce.
He has served in many leadership positions in Rotary and made large donations to The Rotary Foundation. TRF enables Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health (for example, polio eradication), support of education and alleviation of poverty.
A member of the Rotary Club of Yashio since its charter in 1975, he has served Rotary International as a director, Rotary Foundation trustee, chair of the 2009 Birmingham (U.K.) Convention Committee, regional Rotary Foundation coordinator, district governor and training leader.
Working with his district, Tanaka helped construct a school building in Bangladesh. He received the Rotary International Service Above Self Award and the Foundation's Citation for Meritorious Service and Distinguished Service Award.
He and his wife, Kyoko, are Paul Harris Fellows, benefactors of the Permanent Fund, Major Donors, and members of the Arch C. Klumph Society. In addition, Tanaka has established an endowed Rotary Peace Fellowship.
Since Rotary International was founded 108 years ago, Tanaka will be the third sitting Rotary International president to speak in Oak Ridge. The only other times a sitting Rotary International president spoke in Oak Ridge was in 2000 when Frank Devlyn of Mexico came here and in 1993 when Robert Barth of Switzerland visited Oak Ridge.
The Rotary International District 6780 will hold the Peace Forum from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 9, at Pollard Technology Conference Center on the Oak Ridge Associated Universities campus. The conference hotel is the DoubleTree by Hilton on South Illinois Avenue.
On March 7, Tanaka will go to Nashville and meet with corporate leaders from Tennessee offices of Japanese companies.
When he arrives in Oak Ridge on March 8, he will visit Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the International Friendship Bell (designed in Oak Ridge, cast in Japan), and the Secret City Commemorative Walk (built by the Rotary Club of Oak Ridge) in A.K. Bissell Park.
Fred Heitman, Peace Forum organizing committee chairman, said, "We are looking for ideas on how to achieve peace through science and technology and through human understanding. Our vision is to work toward creating a world that chooses communication, collaboration and cooperation over conflict."
Jim Roberto, head of the Partnerships directorate and acting deputy director for science and technology at ORNL, will be the moderator of the "Peace through Science and Technology" panel.
Panelists will be Budhendra Bhaduri, leader of the Geographic Information Science and Technology group in the Computing and Computational Sciences directorate; Gene Ice, director of the Materials Science and Technology Division; Alan Icenhour, director of the Global Nuclear Security Technology Division, and Rekha Pillai, manager of ORNL's International Science and Technology Program.
Karen Wentz, past district governor of District 6780, will be moderator of the "Peace through Human Understanding" panel.
Panelists will be Dick Bowers, former U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, past Rotary district governor and retired member of the U.S. diplomatic corps; Jake Morrill, minister at the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church; and Allison Kwesell, a Rotary World Peace Fellow at the International Christian University in Tokyo and a documentary photojournalist.
The registration fee is $50, which includes a box lunch and drink. Non-Rotarians, as well as Rotarians, are welcome to attend.
The first major sponsor of the forum is TnBank of Oak Ridge. Other corporate sponsors include AkinsCrisp Public Strategies, American Aquatics, Galbraith Laboratories, and the Y-12 Federal Credit Union.
Rotary International is an international organization of 1.2 million members of 34,000 nonprofit service clubs in more than 200 nations and territories.

TORONTO — More than 2,000 people, many waving Canadian or Israeli flags, showed their support for Israel at a packed rally at Toronto's Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue Monday night. It was the first of at least eight such events Canada-wide.
Community officials said some 1,100 more watched the Toronto rally at three satellite locations – the Schwartz-Reisman Centre at the Lebovic Jewish Community Campus in Vaughan, the Wolfond Centre for Jewish Campus Life at the University of Toronto, and across the street from Beth Emeth at the Anne and Max Tannenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto's Wallenberg campus. As well, an additional 1,100 watched online from home computers.
The event was organized by UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, with help from the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), as a response to Hamas' ongoing rocket attacks on Israel, which intensified last week. The federation has also set up an Israel Emergency Relief fund (ujadonations.com/Israel).
As of Wednesday,supporters had pledged over $1 million, Steven Shulman, campaign director and counsel, told The CJN.
DJ Schneeweis, consul general of Israel for Ontario and western Canada, said, "I'm here tonight to tell you Israel is strong." Pausing until applause died down, he said it's strong because "we are united, because we are helping each other, and because we have the IDF."
As well, he credited Israel's many friends, including the Canadian government and "the wonderful Jewish community of Canada." He also lauded Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system, but said Israel is "perhaps most strong" because of its moral compass.
"We will not let our enemies change who we are," he said. "Israel regrets the loss of civilian life on both sides of this conflict. As our opponents celebrate that, we regret it."
James Moore, minister of Canadian heritage and official languages, speaking on behalf of the government of Canada, described Prime Minister Stephen Harper as "a man whose support for Israel is unshakeable and unyielding. He sees what's right and what's wrong.
"Now is the time when free democratic nations of the world must unite and say clearly and firmly, 'We stand with Israel,'" Moore said, referring to the thousands of rockets that have been fired at Israel in the past decade, and "its right to defend its very existence.
"Make no mistake," Moore warned. "Those who pose a threat to the existence of Israel pose a threat to us all."
York University student Jessica Cherkasov said her heart is "truly broken" when she sees hatred of Israel "being disguised as freedom of speech" by groups on campus.
MC Morris Perlis, incoming senior vice-chair of the federation and vice co-chair of CIJA, expressed pride in Cherkasov and other students "who stand up to defend what is right."
Author, columnist and investment adviser Theo Caldwell said the response to hatred must be "patience, forebearance and the truth."
As well, Caldwell, who is Presbyterian, told the audience, "I would urge my Jewish friends to embrace the freely offered friendship of every denomination of the Christian faith… It is written on our hearts to love and support Israel and the Jewish people."
Julia Koschitzky, speaking by Skype from Tel Aviv, said she doesn't think she's ever felt more proud to be Canadian.
An Israeli family of four living on a kibbutz less than two kilometres from Gaza were with her. The parents spoke of the difficulties of life under attack and thanked the audience for its support, including funding for mobile bomb shelters.
IDF spokesperson Lieut.-Col. Avital Leibovitch, who was also with Koschitzky, said, "Today was a relatively quiet day," explaining that there were only 116 rockets fired from Gaza. Some 3.5 million people – half of Israel's population – have been under heavy rocket fire from Gaza, she said.
The IDF has put "great efforts" into trying to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza when it targeted rocket launchers and other sites, Leibovitch said. "We dropped leaflets telling the local population where to go. We warned them of getting too close." The IDF also took over Hamas radio to warn the population, she said.
The effort has been remarkably successful, according to Leibovitch. Hamas leaders have hidden in places like mosques and schools – "all the civilian places that endanger the population" – yet of the approximately 90 deaths in Gaza (at the time of the rally), the majority were terrorists, she said.
Perlis described the four IDF soldiers who were part of the Beth Emeth program as "our heroes."
Rabbi Daniel Korobkin, spiritual leader of Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto Synagogue, had a message for the Palestinians of Gaza: "If you seek to live beside Israel in peace, you are not our enemy. Rather, your leaders are the enemy… we mourn your loss and ours."
But, he cautioned, "Do not view our love of life as a weakness… We will continue to fight with all that we have, to defend ourselves."
Journalist, author and political adviser David Frum, the rally's keynote speaker, expressed respect for those in the Islamic world who work for peace, as well as sympathy to Palestinians who've been used as "human shields" by their leaders, and pride in Canada and its government and in the State of Israel and its people.
He praised Israel for responding to "indiscriminate violence" with restraint, "while Israel's enemies respect no limits. They're as happy to kill children as adults. Israel has applied its advanced technology to target as precisely as possible.
"No country in the history of warfare has done more to protect the civilian population in a war those enemies started. Electrical [power] and drinking water continue to flow into Gaza," he noted.
Frum urged rally-goers to post pictures of the event online to send a message around the world that Israel is not alone.
Other speakers included Elizabeth Wolfe, UJA Federation's chair of the board, and Rabbi Howard Morrison of Beth Emeth. Cantor David Edwards, also of Beth Emeth, sang O Canada and Hatikvah.
Schneeweis told The CJN after the rally, "It was a wonderful and uplifting event. All credit to UJA Federation for organizing it in such a short space of time and to all the thousands who came out to express their support and love for Israel at this time."
Rallies were also scheduled this week at Edmonton's Beth Israel Synagogue (Nov. 20), the Calgary JCC, Ottawa's Soloway JCC, Montreal's Théâtre Maisonneuve – Place des Arts, and Vancouver's Temple Shalom (Nov. 21), Hamilton's Adas Israel Synagogue (Nov. 22), Winnipeg's Asper Jewish Community Campus (Nov. 25). As well, the Atlantic Jewish Council will incorporate a solidarity program into its biennial in Halifax this weekend.
