Some teams go decades without finding a franchise quarterback to build their team around. Then there are teams like the Indianapolis Colts, who have had a franchise quarterback on their roster for the last 17 years.
Before, it was Peyton Manning. Now, it's Andrew Luck. A lot of observers feel that Manning is the best quarterback in NFL history, and just as many believe Luck is the next Manning.
"You can see why he was taken where he was taken,'' Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis said this week as the Eagles prepared to play Luck and the Colts on Monday Night Football.

After the offense turned heads in its first two wins of the 2013 season, the North Central College football team turned to its defense to seal the deal on Saturday, as the Cardinals recorded a historic 27-7 victory over the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point at Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium.
The win was the 100th for head coach John Thorne, who became the second-fastest coach in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) to hit triple digits in the victory column.
The Cardinals' defensive unit was tested early and often, but continually found ways to keep Stevens Point (2-1) out of the end zone. The Pointers advanced into North Central territory six times and were turned away on the first five. The Cardinals had built up a 20-point lead before the visitors secured their lone score midway through the fourth period.
"Our game plan was great this week," said North Central linebacker Nick Slezak, who finished with a career-high 14 tackles. "Coach (Mike) Murray did a great job of sending pressure. We all bought into it this week and it showed on the field."
After averaging more than 600 yards of offense in their first two contests, the Cardinals got the game started with a bang by lighting up the scoreboard on the first play from scrimmage. Quarterback Spencer Stanek fired a pass to the left side to wideout Demarco Tillman, who outraced the UWSP defense for a 75-yard touchdown catch.
The Pointers threatened to counter with a score of their own, driving 56 yards in 15 plays and advancing to the North Central 12-yard line, but turned the ball over on downs. The Cardinals followed with their longest drive of the day, an 18-play, 71-yard jaunt, but came up empty when a 34-yard field goal attempt was off the mark.
The teams traded punts before the Cardinals' defense came up with the first of three interceptions, as linebacker Michael Monterrubio picked off UWSP quarterback Mitch Beau's pass at the North Central 33.
On the ensuing play, Stanek found Chad O'Kane for a 32-yard completion, and after two runs by Zack Pattat, O'Kane came up big again by hauling in a a 23-yard TD catch in the front right corner of the end zone. The Cardinals headed into halftime with a 13-0 advantage, owning a 278-166 advantage in total yards.
Monterrubio came up big on the first drive of the second half as well, ending an 11-play, 65-yard Pointer possession by intercepting Beau's pass at the North Central goal line.
"All the pressure by the defensive line and the coverage by the secondary was huge," Slezak said, "and Michael Monterrubio came up with two big interceptions to bail us out."
The Cardinals were forced to punt on their next possession, but got the ball back three plays later when Connor Douglas intercepted a third-down pass and returned it 36 yards to the Pointer five-yard line. Stanek lofted a TD pass to A.J. Thomas on the next play to extend the Cardinals' lead to 20-0 with 4:43 left in the third period.
The North Central defense forced the Pointers to turn the ball over on downs once again at the Cardinals' 12 eearly in the fourth quarter, but the visitors broke up the shutout on their next drive after a short punt left UWSP just 32 yards from the goal line. Beau found Logan Taylor for a nine-yard TD pass with 7:56 to play.
The Cardinals answered with an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive highlighted by a 30-yard pass to Ryne Rezac and capped off by an eight-yard scoring pass to Thomas with 4:03 to go. Thomas has caught three of North Central's nine scoring passes in the early going this season.
Despite a disadvantage in time of possession by more than five minutes, the Cardinals outgained UWSP, 405-329. Stanek established a career high with 364 passing yards, completing 27 of 37 attempts, and found Peter Sorenson nine times for 98 yards. Pattat was the team's leading rusher with 31 yards on eight carries.
Shane Dierking put up eight tackles and Monterrubio totaled seven, while cornerback Jordan Dean stepped up in support of the team's run defense with three tackles for loss.
North Central opens CCIW play next Saturday at Elmhurst College (1-2). Kickoff at Langhorst Field is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Helicopters and truck convoys of the National Guard carried the admonition Saturday into paralyzed canyon communities where thousands of stranded residents were eager to escape the Rocky Mountain foothills. But not everybody was willing to go. Dozens of people in hard hit Jamestown wanted to stay to watch over their homes.
Authorities made clear that residents who chose not to leave might not get another chance for a while. Rescuers won't go back for people who insist on staying, Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said.
"We're not trying to force anyone from their home. We're not trying to be forceful, but we're trying to be very factual and definitive about the consequences of their decision, and we hope that they will come down," Pelle said.
Special education teacher Brian Shultz, 38, was torn about leaving his Jamestown home.
"I was thinking about staying. I could have lasted at least a year. I have a lot of training in wilderness survival," he said, adding that he probably had enough beer to last the whole time.
As he sat outside a makeshift shelter at a high school, Shultz floated the idea of walking back into the funky mountain town.
"If we hike back, I would stay there and just live. I'd rather be at our own house than staying at some other people's houses," he said.
His wife, Meagan Harrington, gave him a wry smile. About 10 of their neighbors declined to evacuate, she said.
"They said they wouldn't force you, but it was strongly encouraged," she said.
Shultz teared up behind his sunglasses as he compared his situation to that of his neighbors.
"At least all of our stuff's there and will be there when we get back. The people right by the river, their houses were washed away. Other people thought their houses were going to be OK, and then they started to go. It's just really devastating."
Across the foothills, rescuers made progress against the floodwaters. But they were still unable to go up many narrow canyon roads that were either underwater or washed out.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama signed a disaster declaration and ordered federal aid for Colorado. The White House said in a statement Saturday night that the action makes federal funding available to affected individuals in Boulder County. The government said that other counties could be added later.
On Saturday, the surge of water reached the plains east of the mountains, cutting off more communities and diverting some rescue operations.
Four people have been confirmed dead since the harrowing floods began Wednesday. And hundreds of others have not been heard from in the flood zone, which has grown to cover portions of an area nearly the size of Connecticut.
Some of those who are unaccounted for may be stranded or injured. Others might have gotten out but not yet contacted friends and relatives, officials said.
Police expected to find more bodies as the full scope of damage emerges.
A woman was missing and presumed dead after witnesses saw floodwaters from the Big Thompson River destroy her home in the Cedar Cove area, Larimer County sheriff's spokesman John Schulz said.
"I expect that we're going to continue to receive reports of confirmed missing and confirmed fatalities throughout the next several days," he said.
Two fatalities were identified by the Boulder County coroner Saturday as Wesley Quinlan and Wiyanna Nelson, both 19.
Authorities believe the couple died when they were swept away after driving into floodwaters and then leaving their vehicle. Their cause of death is under investigation.
The military put more troops on the ground and helicopters in the air to aid in the search-and-rescue effort.
By Saturday night, 1,750 people and 300 pets had been evacuated from Boulder and Larimer County, National Guard Lt. James Goff said.
The airlifts will continue Sunday with helicopter crews expanding their searches east to include Longmont, Fort Collins and Weld County.
It was not clear how many people were still stranded.
A helicopter taking Gov. John Hickenlooper on a tour of the flooded areas even got in the act, stopping twice to pick up six stranded people and their two pets. Terry Kishiyama's son flagged down a helicopter with his shirt after a three-day wait for rescue from a neighbor's house on higher ground.
"You could hear the choppers for miles and miles, but I didn't know if they were evacuating people. You see a chopper going down behind a ridge, and you have no clue," Kishiyama said.
In addition to his son's efforts, Kishiyama said his wife shouted at the chopper, "We have babies!"
More than 85 fifth-graders from Louisville were greeted by their parents and friends Saturday after they were rescued from an outdoor education center near Jamestown.
Above Larimer County, rescue crews airlifted 475 people to safety and planned to resume helicopter searches on Sunday, weather permitting.
Rain was expected to start up again in the mountains and foothills, with between a half-inch and 2 inches forecast to fall overnight, according to the National Weather Service.
Crews also used inflatable boats to pick up families and pets from farmhouses on Saturday. Some evacuees on horseback had to be escorted to safe ground.
Near Greeley, 35 miles east of the foothills, broad swaths of farmland had become lakes, and the raging South Platte and Poudre rivers surrounded more homes.
In one Boulder neighborhood, residents turned back city crews and machinery that arrived to remove the makeshift berms and sand-filled trash bags protecting their homes. University of Colorado students helped homeowners improvise a way to divert the rising water from Gregory Creek.
"The residents know better than anybody else how the water flows through the neighborhood," said Colleen Scanlan Lyons.
In communities where floodwaters began receding, homeowners had a chance to assess damage.
In Laporte, Wendy Clark surveyed soggy carpets and furniture that got damaged by the Poudre River.
"This mud smells disgusting," she said. "I don't know how long that's going to be around."

Poem on Hiv
Medemaku Ceylowmeh Lawrence
عضو منذ ٢٢ فبراير، ٢٠١٢
- مشاركة
A door carelessly open, When passion and lust met And when no protection was on It comes in unseen to sit. When in man's life it lives, There's no hope of its leave- As the sun can't part from the sky, So shall it stay. Many will surely die From it 'cause there's no way Through which they will be saved. HIV respect no man alive or dead; Rich or poor; Owner of one millon dollars or one cent. Always waiting at the door Ready to come when a man and a woman is spent. Money prevents it not; Fame prevents it not Neither do drugs But ABSTINENCE! It does not show on the face But it destroys the body bit by bit. You and I must rise And fight this monster till it rises not!

Many songs from great musicals have seeped into the public consciousness, often becoming more recognizable than the productions that spawned them. "Anything You Can Do" and "There's No Business Like Show Business" were the spark behind Annie Get Your Gun, which first premiered way back in 1946, during the golden age of Broadway. "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair" was a product of South Pacific a few years later. The list goes on and on.
These are the songs that make or break a Broadway musical, that determine its success. And for good reason. But what does it take to make a great show tune? The answer does not include a hummable melody or chorus — at least not anymore.
See the complete list of 2012 Tony Awards nominations.
Cole Porter, Frank Loesser, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Joseph Stein knew how to make award-winning musicals. They sprinkled memorable songs all through a show that the audience hummed on their way out of the theater and into the nearest record shop. That was yesterday. Today, you don't need "Some Enchanted Evening," nor do you have to "Climb Every Mountain" to create a winning songbook. However, there are several other vital components in a successful show tune.
According to Kevin Connors, composer and lyricist, a song has to get stuck in your head. It has to be implanted, and it must be the last song of the musical. "Where a song is placed in a musical is crucial. In order for a song to stick in the minds of theater-goers it must be the last musical element," he explained. He went on to say that for the popular new formats today, including rock opera, songs are often complicated and even dissonant. This means that the tunes you hear during a musical may be too complex to sing on your way home from the show, but you're darn well going to remember it.
Get the latest buzz on the Tony Awards.
The current trend in musical theater is to write songs that are show-specific. They must propel the show forward, and audiences must learn something about the characters in the story. The music must never stop the action of the storyline.
Composer Richard DeRosa pointed out that the modern musical score is completely integrated with the story. "Comfortably melodic is no longer a criteria for a successful show tune. Today's musical numbers are more similar to classical music. There's no easy access," he said. DeRosa also pointed out that the songs in new musicals have to be fast and loud, what he described as "hyper-kinetic." He noted, interestingly enough, that a lot of the new musicals depend heavily on sound engineers and sound mixers. "Nowadays, you come away thinking about a particular song and say to yourself 'that person had a nice voice,' but you do not come away thinking about a specific singer. So many songs are enhanced by technology."
A successful show tune today is a collaboration — a mix of composer, lyricist, vocalist and sound designer. It advances the storyline, provides insight into the characters and implants itself in the minds of the audience members. On June 10, when the Tony Awards air on CBS, we'll see if Bonnie & Clyde, Newsies, One Man, Two Guvnors or Peter and the Starcatcher takes home the award for Best Original Score. But we may have to wait years, or even decades, to see if any of the songs from the winning score become a part of the public consciousness.

JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (April 16, 2013) – The ETSU women's golf team is just one more quality round away from another trip to the NCAA Championships.
The Buccaneers continued to lead the Atlantic Sun Women's Golf Championship following second round play Tuesday at the Jekyll Island Golf Club's Pine Lakes Course, finishing at 2-over-par for the tournament and holding an 11-stroke advantage over second-place Florida Gulf Coast.
Junior Sian Evans (Gillingham, England), who led the event individually following the first round, carded a 2-over-par 74 to drop back to 3-under-par 141 for the tournament, and now sits in a three-way tie for first with teammate Gabriella Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) and Jacksonville's Jessica Welch.
"We rose to the challenge of more difficult conditions today, and put together another solid team score," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "We got great rounds with both Gabriella and Vivienne shooting under par today. The ladies are looking forward to another round on this golf course tomorrow."
The Bucs (578) began Tuesday's second round with a six-stroke lead over Jacksonville and was the only team under par, but ETSU shot 3-over on Tuesday to fall back to 2-over for the championship. Even so, the Bucs built their lead over the rest of the field by an additional five strokes back the end of the day.
Three Bucs occupy spots in the top six of the championship, led by Evans and Wahl. Meanwhile, Bucs' freshman Vivienne Chin (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia) shot one-under-par 71 to tie for sixth.
Florida Gulf Coast (589) matched ETSU for the low team round of the day, shooting 3-over and moving into second place. Three Eagles are in the championship's Top-10, led by Georgia Price's 73 to keep her at even par for the championship. Kristin Swindell shot even par to move up two spots and tie for sixth and Briana Carlson moved into the Top-10 with a two-under-par 70 to match Wahl.
Mercer sits in third alone (592), as Lacey Fears shot 71 to move up five spots into the Top-10 and a tie for eighth. Defending Champion Kennesaw State moved up behind Mercer, improving four strokes on yesterday to shoot 295 and occupy fourth place (594).

Intro to Urethane Plastic Casting
- Instructor: Dave W
- This is intended to be a hands on class which will take about 3 hours. The idea is to come with a small item you would like to make a copy of and a disposable container which is about a half inch larger in all dimensions. The class will provide the material for a single use mold and a single part.
- The mold material will be Algenate which is a fast setting non-toxic soft material designed for skin contact. (My first cast was of my thumb.)
- The casting material will be a relatively hard urethane plastic.
- Nominally the material is white.
- Colorants will be available.
- If there is sufficient interest a clear material will be available. (The material comes in 1 quart minimum.) A student could purchase an entire quart of their desired material if so inclinded.
- The students will be expected to pay for the materials on the basis of volume. Cost is estimated at about $30/quart based on the casting container size. It will be necessary for them to pre-register to make sure sufficient materials are on hand.
- The format will be a classroom demonstration followed by a workshop where each student makes their own casting.
- Items to be covered:
- Minimum requirements for casting
- Safety Considerations
- Introduction to casting materials
- Mold design consiterations
- Measuring and Mixing Materials
- Items affecting casting quality
- It is expected this could take place in the classroom if provision can be made to control spills. Each student should have about 6 square feet of table space to help prevent spills. Casting material in the carpet is irreversible.

Statistics of Divorce
When homeowners are facing a divorce, one of the most difficult decisions is determining what to do with the house. Because this decision can be highly emotional, important factors can be overlooked and the final decision could be a major financial mistake for both parties.
Couples under the duress of ending a relationship need to step back and look at the true financial value of the house before making a decision. Divorce is scary, so fighting to hold onto the house may provide a level of comfort. But this may be short-lived once a newly single person is weighed down by the high cost of the house. The better choice might be to sell the house, even if you owe more than it is worth. A divorce situation opens the door to getting out from under a financially upside-down house and a potential foreclosure.
Divorcing homeowners need to realize how the tremendous decline in housing values has affected the value of their house. Even if they have owned the house for as long as seven years, they still may owe more than the house is worth. With housing values continuing to decline, it may not be worth fighting to keep a house and ending up with an asset that is worth less than you owe. A better alternative may be a short sale of the house.
Divorcing homeowners can determine if they should sell the house by:
• Checking its market value. A simple way to get a "general" idea of the market value is to check the county's appraised value. This can be done by visiting the county's Appraisal District website. A more accurate way is to have a local realtor assess the value of the house.
• Checking the principal balance of the mortgage. Most mortgage companies provide the principal balance on the monthly statement, or you can call the mortgage company and ask for the "principal balance."
If the principal balance is higher than the market value, a short sale may be the answer. Most mortgage companies recognize a divorce as a justifiable reason for a short sale.
In a short sale, the proceeds from the sale amount to less than the balance owed. The bank or lender agrees to discount a loan balance due to an economic or financial hardship caused by the divorce. This negotiation is done through communication with a bank's loss mitigation or short sale department by a professional company.
For the homeowner, advantages include getting out from under an upside-down house, avoiding a foreclosure on their credit history, and partial control of the monetary deficiency.
Other considerations for divorcing homeowners include:
• Most lenders require a licensed real estate agent to list the house and conduct the short sale. The agent should be experienced at short sales.
• You should never pay anything for a short sale. The real estate company is paid by your lender after the sale.
• Beware of fraud. Make sure any company you work with is legitimate, with a business address and website. If all you have is an individual's cell phone number, this is not a good sign. Also, the company should never ask for payment.
• When deciding if you should keep the house, determine the total costs. The mortgage payment may be the largest cost, but there are also insurance, taxes, utilities, and yard care. Maintenance is a major consideration, because some big items need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years, such as a roof, air conditioning system, water heater, and kitchen appliances.
A divorce is one of the hardest and most emotionally draining events in your life, and following it with a foreclosure will only make things worse. As difficult as it may be, this is the time to look past emotional bonds to the house and focus on the numbers.

From the OSNews team, we'd like to wish everyone a merry Christmas (it's Christmas Eve in my country already), or a happy whatever other holiday you might celebrate; it so happens that Hanukkah and Eid ul-Adha have already passed, so my best wishes are in retrospect if you practice the Jewish or Muslim religion. These matters are always like tight-rope walking on the internet, but I'd like to say one thing: please, emphasize not our differences, but celebrate our similarities. And yes, even if you are not religious (like myself), I'd still like to wish you very happy holidays. Enjoy the food, but realise this.

The Portuguese coach was the guest of honour at the Savoy Hotel just a few hours after watching his side beat Manchester United 3-1 at Stamford Bridge to move to within two points of Barclays Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Mourinho, 50, had a major impact during his first spell in England, when he guided the Blues to the championship in 2005 and 2006, and went on to repeat his success with spells at Inter Milan, where he won the Champions League for a second time, and Real Madrid before returning for a second spell at Stamford Bridge this summer.
"Without love and happiness, I could not do my job," said Mourinho, who was accompanied to the gala dinner by his wife and children, with son Jose a promising goalkeeper.
"My assistant (coaches) are like my brothers, Frank (Lampard) represents my players, without whom I have no career, and Mr (Louis) van Gaal, Mr (Bobby) Robson, my bosses."
Mourinho believes a settled family life in England has helped him refocus for the challenges ahead.
He continued: "The best thing football gave me was to make a decision about my future.
"Some managers go where they have to go, where the club comes, and sometimes it is not the best move, not what they want to do, but they go.
"I sat down with my wife and family, and said 'where is the best place for us? Where can we be happier as a family? To be happy as a manager and enjoy more the family and life socially?'
"We decided England, after that, for the situation to be perfect it would be Chelsea and I was lucky because the door was open for me."
Mourinho would love to continue his career at Chelsea for 'many, many years' yet, and indicated he had no intentions of ever leaving the Premier League.
He added: "The principles you have in relation to football and life are absolutely amazing.
"I love this Chelsea Football Club, which has been the only club to have ever sacked me, we as a family belong to you (in) England.
"I belong to Chelsea, Chelsea belongs to me, and hopefully we will stay for many, many years."
Mourinho joked: "It is not a threat, but if you sack me, I will stay in England and go to another club, a possible rival."
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard paid his own tribute to the Portuguese coach, with England manager Roy Hodgson among the many guests from the football world to attend at the Savoy.
He said: "There has never been any special over confidence or arrogance from him.
"He made us all feel like we could be champions.
"For me, the main thing about the manager is on the pitch and also the mental stuff around that.
"He found the perfect way to deal with every individual in his squad, and still does today.
"The individual relationships he builds is something special.
"He is the one who has all the pluses, I cannot find a fault. He drags every individual up a level, anything that is needed he is the one that takes that on and that is why he one of the most special managers around."
Mourinho felt humbled to have been honoured by the FWA, with former Barcelona and Holland coach Van Gaal also paying a personal tribute to the Portuguese coach.
"It makes me ask again the Football Writers' Association if I deserve it. I have had some achievements in the English game, but others have," said Mourinho, who was presented with his award by FWA chairman Andy Dunn, columnist for the Sunday Mirror.
"I have a good relation with the media and gave them some good headlines in the time we have been together, but I don't know if I did enough to deserve this award."

Caramel Popcorn
I melted my caramel goo back down to sauce and poured it over a big pot of popped corn. Then I threw it on a baking sheet and baked it for an hour. The result? Caramel popcorn that I can't. stop. eating. Literally. Every time I took it out of the oven to stir, I ate some. As it was cooling I ate some. While I attempted to take pictures last night, I ate some. I ate so much of it yesterday, I thought I was going to make myself sick. I'm ashamed to admit that I grabbed more than a handful when I got up to get a drink last night... At 4am. And today? As soon as I got home from work, I sat down on my kitchen stool with the bag in front of me and just started munching away. And then ate some more as I was taking more pictures. This stuff is dangerous. I made an entire gallon Ziploc bag of the stuff and it's almost halfway gone. If I keep this stuff around, it'll be gone before the weekend's over.
I don't have a real recipe for this because I kind of just BSed my way through it with my messed up caramel, but if you want to try your own, without the hassle of screwing your caramel candies up first, this recipe from Savory Sweet Life looks pretty good. I'll be giving it a try with my Spicy Kettle Corn recipe when I'm finished with my current batch. And I'm definitely throwing some peanuts in next time.

That is the best caramel popcorn EVER!! I too eat it the same way, all the time. Taking some here and there. When I had just had my baby a lady my family knew brought us over a BIG bag of it to share, um I didn't. I ate all of it. By myself. In a day and a half.

FMCA Convention Drew 2,000-Plus Coaches
August 18, 2010 by Bruce Hampson · Comments Off on FMCA Convention Drew 2,000-Plus Coaches
Alex and Jan Alexander were in the 17th week of a tour of the West Coast in their 2006 Country Coach when they pulled into the gates of the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center in Redmond, Ore., for the Family Motor Coach Association's (FMCA) 84th International Convention Aug. 11-14. One of more than 2,000 motorhome families to attend the mid-week event in central Oregon, the young couple from St. James City, Fla., intended to spend the four days soaking up information.
"We're here for several reasons," Alex noted after exiting the Tiffin Motor Homes manufacturer's display. "We wanted to see what's going on in the industry — but, most importantly from an educational standpoint, to visit the displays and see the latest in engines and electronics … it (Redmond) has a little bit of everything." And, while the first-time visitors to the convention hadn't considered upgrading their luxury coach prior to the event, Alex did note that "we may change our minds. Right now, we're looking at an Allegro bus."
According to Jerry Yeatts, FMCA event director, the Alexanders' upbeat attitude personified the 84th convention, which also was highlighted by the public debut of the new Vesta motorhome from Monaco RV LLC and the West Coast introduction of the Insignia from Jayco's Entegra Coach division.
"We had a little over 2,000 families there, and about 200 coaches on display," he said. "Compared to the last time we were here, it was probably comparable, numbers-wise — but as far as attitude and enthusiasm, it was amazing. The members were probably in their best mood we've seen in quite a while. Seems like sales were up, spirits were up, and overall it was a great convention."
It also apparently was quite successful for a number of exhibitors. "One OEM said that the higher-end coaches they brought were sold," Yeatts said. "Another dealer who brought in 11 coaches sold six."
Shannon Nill, general manager of Guaranty RV, Junction City, Ore., echoed Yeatts' assessment on the overall atmosphere of the program. "We sold 18 RVs at the Redmond rally, about evenly distributed between new and used," Nill noted, out of about 75 units the dealership supplied to several displays including Monaco, Newmar Corp. and Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc. "Beyond the sales, however, one huge point was that the mood of the customer was really strong compared to last year's rally. People were eager to RV. The gatherings of this kind after a slowdown are even more important than normal."
This year marked the fourth time FMCA has held a convention at the Redmond fairgrounds, but was the first time the association kicked off the event with a Wednesday "preview" day. Gates opened at 5 p.m. on "hump day" for touring outdoor manufacturer displays, followed by access only to indoor exhibits Thursday morning. All displays became accessible at noon and thereafter.
"We really didn't receive any comments concerning shifting the pattern," Yeatts said. "The gate on Wednesday was greater than normal, but we don't know if that's attributable to starting later in the week, or later in the day."
The Vesta, introduced to dealers two weeks prior to the Redmond convention, immediately attracted quite a bit of attention from rally attendees due to its unique aerodynamic styling.
"We've had a lot of customers come up to us that hadn't really considered a Class A before just because of the size," said Ryan Lee, marketing director for the Coburg, Ore., manufacturer. "They take a look at this, with the sleek design, and see that it's really easy from an ergonomic standpoint to sit up there in the driver's seat and drive that coach."
Built on a proprietary 26,000-pound GVWR Monaco Roadmaster chassis and designed in conjunction with wind-tunnel testing, the single-slide 32-foot Vesta (a 35-foot floorplan also is planned) features a sloping front fascia, low center of gravity and tapered rear section. MSRP for the 32-foot coach is $195,000-$200,000.
"It's pretty striking," Lee said of the styling. "One of the things that we're trying to do at Monaco is that, when a coach rolls down the road we want people to know it's a Monaco; we want people to know it's a Holiday Rambler (Monaco's sister division). And this type of styling is going to get us there."
Along with the Vesta, Monaco also brought several models with fresh 2011 floorplans to Redmond. "We're showing our first 2011 Dynasty and Camalot here at the show," noted Mike Snell, senior vice president of sales and product development for Monaco. "The Dynasty has a 500hp engine, and we've changed the paint scheme and have really upgraded the interiors. On the Camelot, we did the same: changed the front facia, the backsplash, put in a ceiling insert in the living room — we really dressed up the inside. We also have our slide-in-a-slide Diplomat here. We had the slide-in-a-slide in the Dynasty, and we added it to the Diplomat, which is a 43-footer."
The Entegra Insignia, which debuted almost simultaneously at Affinity Group's The Rally, July 22-25, at Louisville's Kentucky Exposition Center and Redmond, is the Jayco division's "entry-level" coach for the high-end Entegra line. Built on a 32,400-pound GVWR Freightliner XCR chassis powered by a 360-hp Cummins ISB diesel engine, the $265,000 MSRP Insignia features heated-and-enclosed holding tanks, frameless flush-mounted slideout rooms, gel goat fiberglass sidewalls and a steel-reinforced front cap and windshield frame plus interiors sporting glazed maple hardwood cabinets and leather hide-a-bed sofas.
Yet another new unit drawing a crowd was the 2011 model from Newell Coach Corp. Upgrades to the 2011 welded-steel-and-aluminum Newell motorcoaches — the first since the 2006 model year — include upgraded front caps with bright-white "string-of-pearl" LED running lights that outline the outer edges of the headlights, plus rear-body trim and redesigned side moldings. Interiors feature wood windowsill trim bordered with seamed leather, carbon-fiber instrument panels and automated air conditioning and heating.
The upbeat atmosphere at Redmond was, in the view of many dealers staffing the manufacturer exhibits, a reflection of a more optimistic viewpoint already noted at their respective dealerships.
Brian Kehoe, a sales consultant for Sandy, Ore.-based Johnson RV Sales who was manning the Entegra display, noted that the dealership "has experienced four months consecutive of record sales for the company. It's been fantastic. All the way through, from the B class, C class, Class A gas and diesel units." The dealership, site of the former Fred's RV, opened under the Johnson RV Sales umbrella last year and features 12 service bays and three buildings — including an indoor showroom — on seven acres.
At the Tiffin exhibit, Rick Neat, a salesman from RV Corral, Eugene, Ore., one of three dealerships providing coaches for the display, called August "the best month in two years.
"There's more business out there," following the shuttering of dealers and OEMs alike during the recession, he said, adding that consumer credit is likewise on an uptick. "On the big money, it's starting to ease up a bit. A lot of people are going to credit unions now, which are getting a lot more flexible than they were in the past."
Mike Alverez, with All Seasons RV, Bend, Ore., concurred. "Our banks have loosened up," he said at the Winnebago Industries Inc. exhibit. "They've changed on how they are financing. They are looking at people in a better light, where before it was tough to get financing accomplished. The other thing, too, is that GE, our flooring company, has backed off; they are letting us get product in here, and we're making the turns we need to make to keep it going."
Along with new coach designs and features, Redmond also was one of the first consumer shows to feature motorhomes fitted with new 2010 EPA emissions-compliant engines, and several exhibitors — including Gaffney, S.C.-based Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. and Spartan Chassis, Charlotte, Mich. — fielded questions from consumers and dealership personnel somewhat confused about the technical merits of the two competing drive systems developed to meet the EPA criteria. Cummins Inc. utilizes an aftermarket treatment system, while Navistar's new MaxxForce engines employ Advanced EGR technology.

Eneloop vs PowerGenix Rechargeable Batteries
It's the battle of the elements today. Like, literally. On the left, in the white trunks, we have Sanyo's Eneloop's NiMH. On the right, sporting the green casings, we have PowerGenix's NiZn rechargables. One boasts power and the other sustains through efficiency. Who shall win in this marvelous showdown and come out as the best rechargeable battery of them all? Click on through to find out!
PowerGenix has gotten many kudos as one of its kind - a 1.6v AA Nickel Zinc rechargeable with the juice to deliver performance for those who need it. From portable devices such has power tools to glue guns and even electric toothbrushes, the PowerGenix is all about doing it in the name of power. But we'll have to see about that.
The company is selling 1.6v AA Nickel Zinc rechargeables at a variety of outlets now, with the MRSP for a 4-pack sitting at $14.99; the special charger (needed for charging NiZn batteries) can be purchased along with four cells for $34.99 (again, that's MSRP).
As for the Eneloops, they run at a lower voltage (1.2v) compared to the PowerGenix, but that also means more applications. For instance, there were a few items we tested the PowerGenix in that simply would not work due to its higher voltage. Electronics such as keyboards, mice, and remote controllers - this is where the Eneloops excel.
The Eneloop batteries retail for $14.99 as well per 4-pack and $21.99 for the charger included.
Battery Tests:
While we tested both batteries in a variety of gizmos, the one test we found to be most reliable was the flashlight since it sat pretty much right in the middle between hardcore power-suckers and passive, low-consuming electronics. However, after reviewing the photos, we found there was no discernable difference between the power emitting from our Maglite flashlights.
Testing the longetivity of the flashlights with each battery set, we found both lasted a good 3 hours each, but the PowerGenixran out of juice about an hour before the Eneloops did. We repeated the test with a few other flashlights and after a few head nods around the office, we agreed there was not enough of a difference to justify using up more battery juice. Hence, the Eneloops get the crown for the flashlight test.
We had two other tests planned for the rest of our comparison, but our set of PowerGenix recharger mysteriously decided to stop functioning half-way through our final tests using a combination of camera flashes and portable speakers. We're sure this may have just been a bad batch, but since the batteries tended up get used up faster than the Eneloops, we had already gone through the entire set of 4 we received before completely finishing up the tests.
So, we had a difficult decision to make. Do we publish our small set of data or toss them away completely due to the small number of tests conducted? And so, we've decided to continue publishing since we believe a bad consumer experience is still just as important to note as a good one.
For now, Eneloops 1. PowerGenix -1.

Walking to the Metro Station on my way to work in the morning, I saw kids eating breakfast on the streets.
I saw kids eating breakfast on the streets as I walked to the Metro Station on my way to work in the morning when living in Washington, D.C.
Street vendors were on the corners of busy streets, especially those with Metro Stations. Often parents with young children in tow would stop to buy "breakfast" for their children on the way to school in the morning. Children were eating sugary drinks and snack bags -- Cheetos, Fritos, chips, and other high fructose and fatty foods -- inexpensive and easy to buy, especially in neighborhoods with few if any grocery stores.
Are the kids in El Dorado eating healthier than the kids in D.C.? What did the kids in your life have for breakfast this morning? Assuming they took the time to have breakfast at all, what did they find in your refrigerator and kitchen cupboards?
What did you have for breakfast? As a role model for the kids in your life, what messages are you giving them about what is a healthy breakfast?
Now a days, so much of the food in our kitchens and household diets is processed food. If it comes out of the freezer -- breakfast burritos, frozen waffles, bacon breakfast bowls, and the like -- it is processed food and contains high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, and excessive salt while being low in fiber and healthy nutrients.
For health living, eating fresh is important -- fresh, rather than processed. That includes cooked eggs, raw fruit, milk (whether dairy, soy, or almond), and peanut and honey on toast.
What kids eat matters - because their bodies and brains are developing. What you eat matters.
It matters what we put into our bodies. We are what we eat. Start with breakfast.
A number of websites provide free and easy recipes that youth and adults can prepare using healthy ingredients. Check out this slide show with recipes: 9 Reasons Breakfast Matters (Plus Recipes to Make Mornings a Breeze!) at: http://www.babble.com/best-recipes/9-reasons-breakfast-matters/

Massey Ferguson has made a good thing better with the introduction of the higher capacity MF 1837 square baler. The new baler, with its higher plunger speed and nearly 30 percent wider pickup, is a direct response to Massey Ferguson customer requests.
"Our customers appreciated the center-line design of the 1835, but some of them wanted a baler with more capacity," says Shawn Boone, general marketing manager, Massey Ferguson Hay. "The 1837 combines the extra muscle needed for heavier windrows and bigger fields with a design that will outperform and outlast competitive balers in its class."
The centerline design eliminates two 90-degree changes in crop direction found in most competitive small square balers. Hay moves straight through the baler, minimizing leaf loss and building a better-formed, higher quality bale. Leaf retention is further aided by the baler's low profile, which reduces the lifting needed to move hay into the pre-forming chamber.
The low profile also provides the operator with a clear view to the rear of the baler, visibility that is important whether towing a wagon or operating the optional bale thrower.
With the centerline design, the operator straddles the row for easier alignment of the windrow with the pickup. The design allows equal weight distribution to both sides of the baler and virtually eliminates sidehill draft. Both baler and wagon are towed in a straight line centered on the tractor for less stress on the baler frame. It also means no lost time switching from transport to field mode.
The operator and hay friendly design of the MF 1837 is augmented by a 100 stroke per minute plunger, a heavier flywheel for smoother operation and a 75.9-inch pickup. All three features contribute to the new baler's higher capacity.

A June 3 preliminary hearing has been set for a man suspected of kidnapping and raping a woman in Loma Portal.
Michael Meretse Tesfa, 21, has pleaded not guilty to charges that also include robbery and false imprisonment of the victim in the March 18 incident.
The victim said she met Tesfa earlier that night and he asked her to go to a hotel with him, but she declined.
Shortly before 9 p.m., Tesfa is alleged to have sexually assaulted her behind Perry's Café on Pacific Highway near Rosecrans Street.
Court records say Tesfa is on probation for punching his mother in the face on Jan. 2, 2012. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to 180 days in jail. His probation has been revoked because of his arrest in the new case.
Tesfa is being held on $750,000 bail.

For each shared library (plug-in) containing custom SAFs to be loaded into the Sun Java System Web Server, add an Init directive that invokes the load-modules SAF to magnus.conf.
The syntax for a directive that calls load-modules is:
Init fn=load-modules shlib=[path]sharedlibname funcs="SAF1,...,SAFn"
shlib is the local file system path to the shared library (plug-in).
funcs is a comma-separated list of function names to be loaded from the shared library. Function names are case-sensitive. You may use dash a (-) in place of an underscore (_) in function names. There should be no spaces in the function name list.
If the new SAFs require initialization, be sure that the initialization function is included in the funcs list.
For example, if you created a shared library animations.so that defines two SAFs do_small_anim() and do_big_anim() and also defines the initialization function init_my_animations, you would add the following directive to load the plug-in:
Init fn=load-modules shlib=animations.so funcs="do_small_anim,do_big_anim,init_my_animations"
If necessary, also add an Init directive that calls the initialization function for the newly loaded plug-in. For example, if you defined the function init_my_new_SAF() to perform an operation on the maxAnimLoop parameter, you would add a directive such as the following to magnus.conf:
Init fn=init_my_animations maxAnimLoop=5

How many druids have noticed people freaking out when they are tanking by starting a pull in stealth kitty form or caster form? It seems ever since the change came down in patch 2.3 with client side shifting people downright think I am crazy. Just the other night I was in Kara helping out a buddies guild and they were all confused as to why I was on the main tank list when I am sitting waiting to start things up in stealth cat form... lol. Then you hear "holy crap you just moonfired a mob in bear form"... lol Yeah, I switched to bear form before the pull started just to ease the minds of my fellow raiders and then moonfired pulled and instantly back to bear... apparently faster than this guy's system kept up with lag.
I bring this up because people need to understand that with 5 points in Furor the last thing I want to do when pulling or running in to tank a boss is shift to bear. I am sure most people understand this, what they don't understand is why I would be in kitty form prior to this shift... well, number 1, why not? It really makes no difference what form I start in, it is completely irrelevant actually. Druids can shift directly from 1 form to the next now and frankly I prefer starting almost everything from stealthed cat in case someone pulls a Leroy whether it be on purpose or by accident. It also allows me a little more control of the situation and what I agro when I am ready when off tanking in 25 mans.
Being able to start pulls or fights from the stealthed form is actually a huge bonus to feral tanking. It allows us to get great postioning for multi mob pulls. I love stealthing to certain groups in MrT and starting the pull by a pounce, bear, bash or roar while keeping all the mobs at a nice ranged distance from the rest of the party. I can also start the pull on one side while the other side of the pull is getting CCed allowing me to swipe away from trouble. I also use this technique on the 3rd boss in MrT... pounce the boss, mangle, shred for a couple combo points... go to bear bash or charge then bash then back to cat for a maim and a spell lock for 3 secs, another mangle... back to bear again... ect... I also like sneaking up into trash mobs in SSC so when the MT starts the pull I am exactly in range for a moonfire shot before my mob might get caught in a concecrate or agro the MT. Another great place for this is in Hyjal as the trash enters the camp I can stealth in right behind it and pounce a necromancer before he gets off his first shadow bolt, shift to bear, bash him, and then make sure I have agro... look, I just saved the pally tank 3k or more burst damage from the pull ma :) (P.S. The trash in Hyjal cannot see through stealth, so not a problem, unless you walk right into them of course which I have never done.)
I also like pulling from caster form especially using hurricane. The nice thing about hurricane is you can position it to grab agro from an entire group of mobs or just a portion of them leaving the ones outside the AoE for CC or to get picked up by another tank. Works great but most people don't understand the why or how. Hurricane is a druids consecrate but it can be aimed and although brief its a great way to get multiple mob agro.
I also like the caster HoT's to bear, FF pull. I use this method on Tidewalker, Kael in MrT, the 2nd boss in MrT, and the FLK shammy add. Cast HoT's on myself for the added threat or at least initial damage buffer for my healers, shift to bear and FF an incoming misdirected mob or feral charge in.... works great.
Feral raiding is just downright fun. Currently my guild is in Hyjal, here are some of the things I typically do in there as an OT...
For starters I buff my DPS weapon with a stone since we will be at the boss fight within an hour, I save my food and pot for phase 6 of the trash to make sure the buffs are still up for the boss fight. 1st trash, 10 ghouls, switch weapon to Staff of Dark Mending and Hurricane the mobs being tanked by our pally... switch weapon, shift cat, run in and single target DPS. Next pull probably the same... 3rd pull I will be stealthing in as cat to pounce something to lighten the load on the pally... shift to bear and OT it until it's dead maybe pick up another mob... when it dies if I don't have agro on anything I shift and hurricane the current AoE group of mobs, shift back to cat and single target DPS... stealth and wait to start the process all over again. Right after the last trash phase I use my ItemRack addon and switch my gear to my raid setup with my PvP trinket... I have like 12 possible gear setups to chose from... (P.S. If you use ItemRack a word to the wise, apparently sometimes even though you get an out of combat message you might try to shift your gear before some kind of lag, your ItemRack icon will reflect your gear change but it won't actually happen, make sure to stealth in cat as soon as you are out of combat and then change to 1-2 different gear sets and then to the setup you want just to be safe.) Then we get Rage and although he is a complete push over I think I have picked up tanking him after a MT death at least twice now and maybe even thrown in a battle rez or 2 also... fun stuff.
All of this means that I have decided to forgo testing Powershifting to boost my damage. I know that by using the currently available macro's I could boost my damage when in a DPS role but I think feral druids are just too important from a raid utility standpoint to mess around with burning through ones mana like that. As it is now with the T4 energy proc and OOC proc I rarely find myself low on energy anyway and I view it as a time to drop some agro just to be on the safe side... so I get a couple less shreds... but at least the boss dies. :)
