got some high efficiency speakers, need amp.
10/16/08 at 22:10:37
some speakers that are
this design
showed up locally for a nice price. i thought what the hell, i'll give them a shot.
they're hooked up to my existing amps and they sound nice and warm, very real and image well.
a friend is planning to buy my previous speakers but he wants my preamp and power amp too, no big deal, they're nothing too special.
so i'm getting very tempted with all the decware amps and preamps i've seen for sale used lately.
i have one concern, the speakers i
are 8 ohm impedance (the tweeter is 4 ohm but is has 1ohm resistor in series and a 16 ohm resistor in parallel).
will something like an se84c-s drive those speakers to adequate listening levels?
what about if i run it direct?
a preamp would yield a little more volume as well right?
the neighbors don't need to hear it when they are in their house but i do like to have a nice amount of volume.
i've read where people say 1.8 watts (bottlehead paramourII) is enough for 85db average with 95db peaks and i've read where others have said they needed more like 10 watts in a small bedroom. am i just gonna have to go for it and see for myself???
the room is 15x25x9, hard wood floors walls and ceilings, large thick rug on floor in front of speakers.

I have a sneaking suspicion you will come up short mating those speakers to a SE84. However, a pair of SE84s "strapped" into monoblocks should do the job quite nicely. I use such a setup with "home brew" 94 dB./8 Ohm speakers, with considerable pleasure.
Because of the single tap on the O/P trafo, each monoblocked amp yields approx. 8 W. into an 8 Ohm load.
BTW, you could buy a single SE84 and check it out. If you find yourself running out of steam, acquire the 2nd "box".

yeah i thought about building one or two of the se84 kits. I kinda like the idea of being able to roll the rectifier tube though :-/
can anyone comment on the taboo sound vs. the se84cs.
6 watts vs. 1.8 but after reading the article steve wrote...it seems i shouldn't get caught up in just the wattage rating.
I plan on running a preamp now I think.

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to the forum .....
I am running a single Decware Select amp with a pair of 95 db efficient two way floor standing speakers in a 26' x 16' x 8.5' room and the SPLs are more than adequate for my needs. I'm not a "rocker" though and my taste in music leans to the "acoustic" and vocal side of things. It should also be said that my speakers use an extremely minimal crossover ..... just a capacitor on the tweeter. That can make a big difference, since a lot of power gets sucked up by a complex crossover. They are also a 4 ohm impedance, which the Select is really happy with.
Here is a link to a photo of the
I am also using a Decware CSP2 preamp which does a great job of getting the best out of the Select power amp. With the CSP2, there is a lot more presence and bass heft and it makes the power amp sound a lot more "muscular" ..... highly recommended.
I did get to hear a pair of strapped Decware Selects in my system and the extra headroom was not hard to live with. If my taste in music ran toward the more complex or higher SPLs, this would be the way to go.
You might also want to check out the speaker offerings from
Parker Audio
. They have a full line of reasonably priced great sounding speakers that are specifically designed to work well with Decware low power amplifiers ..... and they offer both pre-built speakers as well as kits.
Best wishes,

well i got a csp1 for now.
i'm curious. what are my options as far as tube rolling. i have a trio of RCA 6cg7 and the sockets look the same...will they work in this preamp?
is there a link discussing tube rolling options?
i'm going to search now.
the preamp now has 3 6922's, sovtek. i have a few electro harmonix 6922 also. rectifier tube is 5y3gt.
i'm real impressed with the upper mids and the highs. so far the bass could be a little stronger but it's not bad.
i'm running it through my solid state amp and i can barely turn it up. i plan on getting a tube power amp soon.

There's more to it than the sockets looking the same. not sure those are the right tube type.
I've been using 6N2P tubes in my CSP2 and they really are nice. . . .

The 6CG7 and the 6922 have identical pin arrangements minus the pin 9 screen, I would go for it... but it is your amp man!
Grid voltage may be an issue, UH OH
! It probably is not compatible with the CSP2. The 6CG7 has less gain, and is the 9 pin version of the octal 6SN7GTB.

well, i should have a (origianl) taboo with Vcaps arriving to me tomorrow ;D
also redid the crossover in the speakers, installed a vifa ac25 tweeter...the speakers had a gr research tweeter which i found to be too bright.
i was going to replace it with the vifa dx25, which the speaker was designed around. madisound was sold out of the dx25 and the ac25 was on clearance...

what a lunch. opened the package. taboo is fine.
the previous owner sent a few extra tubes. :)
mullard and Philco recitifers, 5u4g and 5y3g.
7 extra input tubes, 12au7 by telefunken mullard and seomthing else UK made. 12at7 mullard, maybe a tungsram 12ax7 and a few others...
got maybe five sets of output tubes.
cryoset sovtek, also the russian military tubes 6p15p-ep i think they are, some french tubes...
also sent me a 6n1p and a few more 6922 for the csp...
kinda funny when i opened the input tubes. they are all in either white boxes, svetlana or electroharmonix boxes. i thought oh a few tubes. then i opened one and it was a mullard. so i opened them all and they are all nice tubes.
i can't wait to go home and listen to this.
what are the two pots on top of the taboo? are they for variable feedback? he mentioned setting them at the 11 oclock position which is what i read the new taboo is permanently set to.
it should be the original model but it's in the black metal case.

Since publishing this post about that crazy man who want to demolish the pyramids and Sphinx I received several reactions attacking me for publishing this post from both Islamists and non Islamists.
The main objection : Why would you publish something like this in your blog and spread it like that when this man only represents himself and a narrow segment from the society or rather Islamists ??
I am sorry , this man does not represent himself alone but rather represents a whole. Similar views were expressed by none other Salafist Calling leading member and co-founder of its political arm , the famous Al Nour party.
Abdel Moneim El Shahat wanted to cover the ancient monuments with wax !! "Video"
Al Nour Party and Salafist calling as well El Shahat are popular enough among millions of Salafists in Egypt.
Of course this will lead us to wonder about Al Nour party's position from all this. I bet they will have double standards on this , they do not have a problem in respecting foreign anthems while they do not pay respect to our national anthem.
Now for those Islamists who can not tolerate this , they have to face the fact that their Sheikhs and scholars hate ancient Egypt because they look to ancient Egyptians as infidels who stood against Prophet Moses !!
Wagdy Ghonim, the foulmouthed Pro-Muslim brotherhood preacher had always slammed ancient Egyptians in his tapes and videos. This clip was aired on Al Nas TV channel , one of the most top Salafist Channels in Egypt.
Ghonim got a huge fan base among Islamists already.
I remember also the famous fatwa of Sheikh Hassan to sell ancient artifacts. Sheikh Hassan is also the owner of Al Nas TV channel as well one of the leading members of the Salafist calling in Egypt.
Are these enough for you to admit that we got a problem in how these radicals think regarding our history and our legacy !?
Second Objection : This is a Wael Al Abrashi's show and he is attention seeker.
Well it is not about Wael Al Abrashi or his hot hair , Al Abrashi did not tell Morgan El Gohary or El Shahat to say what he wants. This is how they think. We have to deal with that.
Third Objection : This is a secondary issue !!
This is not a secondary issue , it is nation's history. Iraq's history has been destroyed and Syria's history is being destroyed. I will not let this happen to Egypt's history as well !!
Taliban blew up Buddha statues , their supporters can do this in Egypt.
I can not ignore anything and yes I believe that these groups are back to the surface to scare us in order to make the public miss Mubarak's solid security fist. Still whoever is moving the strings in the backstage , he is playing with fire that can burn the whole nation down. This is why I am extremely worried.
Luckily I am not worried alone as the Tourism coalition in Egypt has threatened to sue President Morsi for the lack of reaction after Morgan's alarming statements.

Quick Dinner Ideas
Don't have the time and energy to cook a big dinner at the end of a busy day? Fortunately, healthy cooking doesn't have to be time-consuming or difficult. On days like these, it's important to have your kitchen stocked with a few essentials that can be whipped into a quick and healthy meal.
Stock Your Kitchen
Here are some healthy staples to keep in your kitchen for nights when time is tight. When you shop, think about the basic foods you need to Create a Healthy Plate which is: ½ non-starchy vegetables, ¼ lean protein, ¼ whole grains or starchy foods, and some fruit and/or dairy on the side.
- Frozen vegetables – keep a few of your favorites in the freezer
- Fresh vegetables – keep some basic salad ingredients like greens, a few tomatoes, a cucumber and a bell pepper
- Reduced-sodium canned tomatoes are great for adding to pastas, casseroles and more
- Other canned vegetables that you like such as artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, etc.
Starchy Foods
- Reduced-sodium canned beans – choose from black, kidney, navy, garbanzo and more
- Quinoa, quick-cooking whole barley, whole grain pasta, whole wheat cous cous
- Pre-cooked brown rice – all you need to do is heat it up in the microwave
- Whole wheat tortillas or corn tortillas
Protein Foods
- Rotisserie chicken – use it throughout the week in salads, pastas, sandwiches or tacos
- Frozen fish filets
- Frozen chicken breasts
- Eggs
- Fresh fruit makes a good side at dinner, or even a dessert
- Keep some berries or grapes around which are easy to wash and serve in a bowl
- Canned fruit – choose varieties canned in juice, not syrup
- Lemons and limes – juice from these citrus fruits makes a great flavoring for vegetables, fish or chicken
- Skim or 1% milk – unsweetened soymilk or almond milk are also options, especially for lactose intolerance
- Light/non-fat yogurt (regular or Greek) – note that flavored varieties will have more carbohydrate than plain
Some Extras to Have Around
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Various spices and dried herbs
- Light salad dressing
- Salsa
- Salt and pepper
- Nuts – add to salads and other vegetable dishes
- Trans-free margarine
- Minced garlic (jarred)
If you tend to be short on time during the week, it's very important to plan ahead. You might be interested in our article, Back to School – 6 Tips for Eating and Living Well.
Quick & Nutritious Dinner Ideas
- Defrost frozen fish filets in the fridge the night before you plan to use them. Brush the fish lightly with olive oil and season with freshly ground pepper and other dried herbs. Bake the fish in the oven until done and serve with ½ cup of pre-cooked brown rice and steamed green beans.
- Make a salad for your entrée. Chop up your favorite non-starchy vegetables and serve them over a bed of greens. Add some rotisserie chicken breast, cottage cheese or another reduced-fat cheese. Have your salad with a side of whole wheat garlic bread or some fresh fruit.
- Try chicken tacos. Use rotisserie chicken or defrost and roast up some frozen chicken. Fill a corn or whole wheat tortilla with shredded chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, fresh cilantro and black beans. If you want, top it all with a spoonful of salsa and some non-fat plain Greek yogurt.
- Scramble up a few eggs for dinner. Top them with peppers and onions that you&'ve heated from frozen. Throw in a slice of whole wheat toast with some trans free margarine.
- Try pasta primavera (vegetables with pasta). Add frozen vegetables to pasta during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain the water and then toss with a two tablespoons of light salad dressing and cooked diced chicken. Or, toss in pasta sauce if you prefer a red sauce.
- Stir fry is another easy option! Keep a frozen vegetable stir-fry medley in your freezer. Sauté on the stove with vegetable oil. Add some frozen shrimp or heated chicken and serve over brown rice, quinoa or whole farro.
- Make a veggie flatbread. Sauté some frozen or fresh veggies and pile them onto a premade whole wheat pizza crust (or a whole wheat pita will also work!) and top with reduced-fat mozzarella cheese and tomato slices. Bake in the oven until the cheese melts.
- In the morning, toss some canned beans, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and frozen corn in a crockpot with some cumin, chili powder and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours to make a chili that will be ready when you get home. You can also add other vegetables that you have on hand like diced onions, bell pepper or carrots.

MLB WORLD SERIES: PHILLIES v RAYS
October 25, 2008
Ryan Howard
Charlie Manuel
Jamie Moyer
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA: Game Three
Q. Earlier in the year there was a push to kind of move Ruiz out of the starting lineup. You were adamant in your consistently staying with him. How gratifying is it now that he's become one of your better performers in the World Series?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Yeah, like he's always been a good defensive catcher. And he throws good. And he was having trouble with his hitting. And at the same time when I used Coste, Coste was definitely, he was hot at times on offense. And like when we started winning games, that's why I stuck with Ruiz, our team got hot. And like I said the other day, it's not like Coste is not a good player or nothing, but once we started winning, I liked the combination, I kind of kept that. But I've always had faith in him. I've always had confidence in him and more than likely, if you follow me and the way I manage, I always go back and give a guy a chance. I don't give up on him, as long as he doesn't give up on himself.
Q. Tonight Ryan Howard hit his home run tonight. Chase Utley hit one. Are you starting to gradually see your 3, 4, 5 guys starting to come around a little bit?
CHARLIE MANUEL: Yeah, like when they hit, you guys tell me, hey, look, they're starting to come around. These guys are good hitters. It's like I said the other day, he didn't get the 146 RBIs with somebody giving it to him. He's a legitimate hitter. He's got stats -- actually the time he's been in the big leagues, nobody in the game could match him. And Utley, I don't have to say anything about Utley's hit, he's a tremendous hitter. These guys are good hitters, do they go over 0-for-4 sometimes? Do they go 0-for-20 sometimes? Yeah. That's baseball.
Where's Bob Ford at? Funny game. Bob, where are you at? I tell him that all the time. It's a funny game, that's how the game goes.
Q. Can I ask you about the way the team came back. They had the 4-1 lead, it looked like the game might be a bit secure, and then to lose the lead then come back, talk about what that says about the team. And what was it like to have the home field? The crowd's so loud here.
CHARLIE MANUEL: I think I'll answer the second part first. The home crowd, I think it definitely plays a big part. I think it has a lot to do with us, I think it has to do with how we play all year long. We got breaks there in the end and we capitalized on them. It might have took a little squib roller down the third base line, but at the same time it's better to be lucky sometimes than to be good.
Q. Does this whole series make you question the value of the statistic hits with runners in scoring position?
CHARLIE MANUEL: I've only been in the game about 46 years, and I think I learned that. I hope I know it.
Q. Jamie, how tough was it to get into the regular rhythm today with the rain delay and not really knowing when the game would start and everything else you had to go through?
JAMIE MOYER: I don't really find it difficult, because I didn't have to start and then stop. It was a little tough trying to figure out when we were going to get started. But they gave us, both teams, plenty of advance notice to when the game was going to start and I was ready to go, obviously, well before that. So it was just a matter of -- when I went out to the bullpen, I wasn't sure if the game was going to start. They pulled the tarp but it was still raining and they said it's going to stop. I didn't think it would look like it was going to stop. I didn't want to go out and warm up and then have a delay.
So other than that I felt that I got into a decent tempo in the bullpen, and was able to bring that within the white lines.
Q. Jamie, did the home crowd help you tonight?
JAMIE MOYER: Most definitely. I think it was very uplifting to walk across the field, even through the puddles and hear the excitement of the fans. I try not to get caught up in it but I do hear it. And I could tell when some of my teammates came out to get loose and things like that. I don't really pay attention to it but you can hear things. Not only that, when they announced the lineups, you know, to start the game, the first pitch of the game, the first couple innings you really felt like the stadium was on end. It was really electric in our ballpark tonight. And I think that's very big for us.
Q. Jamie, a lot of guys say that having you is like having an extra pitching coach. I was wondering if you could speak to that a bit and what you might think of actually formally taking that role as a coach?
JAMIE MOYER: Like tomorrow? You know, I just try to do my job. I've been around the game a long time and I feel like I can add at some points. And sometimes it's better off keeping my mouth shut, but I feel like when there are times that I can add something, whether it's to a conversation or during the course of a game with a guy that's willing to listen or has the ability to talk during the game, that it doesn't become a distraction to him I think it can be very beneficial. A lot of time in the clubhouse, a lot of time during batting practice, a lot of times when we're traveling on the airplane, I like to pull guys aside and talk about things, and just try to give them my perspective versus their perspective. And I think through my experiences during the course of my career. I haven't experienced everything, but I've experienced a lot. And I feel like I can relate to my fellow pitchers. If I can help somebody at least think of something, if it's a struggle or something positive that they're going through, if I can help them think about that and become a better pitcher, why not?
Q. Charlie, the series seems to be shaping up with your power versus their speed. Is that a match-up you're comfortable with?
CHARLIE MANUEL: When you talk about their speed, when you get Crawford and Upton, they can really fly. When they hit the ball in the infield, they make you hurry. And they make you do things with it. They're quick and they're hard to stop. And also if you look, they've got a lot of switch-hitters in their lineup. You've got to really be careful, especially when you go to the bullpen, how you match up with them because actually they are a hard team to kind of match up to. And they've got a good ballclub.
As far as their power, they hit the ball so far in this postseason, they've hit a lot of home runs, they just haven't hit that many against us yet. And hopefully they don't hit any. We're known to hit the ball out of the yard. Like we score a lot that way. But we can also manufacture runs with Victorino and Rollins and Utley and Jayson Werth. And like when we do, that's when we really put some runs across the board.
But, yeah, so far it's been good. I'd say, what, we're 2-1 and actually we could have been 3-0 or basically Tampa could have been 3-0. The games have been close, and there's been chances for both teams to win all the games. So far it's been an outstanding series. We've made mistakes mentally and physically, but at the same time I think our pitching has been very good in the series, and it's been good the whole series, so really, look, we've got to come out and win tomorrow and like we're trying to win the series.
Q. Jamie, what was the difference for you tonight between the last two postseason starts, especially against the Dodgers? The second question, what was your view of the bunt there on your stomach on Crawford?
JAMIE MOYER: I didn't have much of a view. I caught it in my glove and flipped it to Ryan. And actually I asked Ryan after the play was made, and we were both kind of walking towards the mound, if he thought he was out or safe. I didn't know if he was out or safe. I obviously do now, I saw it on replay.
But the difference for me tonight was probably just creating a tempo, and I was able to create that tempo in the bullpen. And then I think with the electricity of the crowd here at the ballpark, and throwing some early strikes, getting some quick outs, just allowed me to get into the flow of the game early and really not have to fight and make a lot of pitches early in the first and second inning.
Q. Jamie, you waited a long time to appear in your first World Series game. I wonder if you could tell us how much it meant, expectations, and how much it meant to you tonight?
JAMIE MOYER: I didn't know what expectations to really look for. And I think it exceeded every expectation or every thought or every dream that I had.
Q. Jamie, before the series, the media had asked Charlie Manuel about your pitching in the World Series. I don't know how much you heard it. The questions and whether you would or wouldn't pitch. Did you hear it?
JAMIE MOYER: No.
Q. What were your thoughts?
JAMIE MOYER: I didn't hear it. And you know what, baseball is baseball. And you're going to have good outings, you're going to have bad outings over the course of the season. My biggest thing, my biggest goal over the last ten days, two weeks, was to try to put those outings that I had previously behind me. And tonight was a new game. Three games ago this was a new series.
So focus on the now and not the past, and personally I feel like I did a good job of what I set out to do.
Q. Jamie, can you describe your emotions on Longoria's ball to the wall?
JAMIE MOYER: I threw it, he hit it and I thought, "oh, boy" (laughter). It was high and I've seen a lot of those balls land in the flower pot. And I thought, oh, my gosh, this isn't a good thing. And then I actually watched Pat. I figured that would give the biggest reaction. And I saw him kind of camp at the wall without turning around like it was going to go over his head and he caught it. Other than that I felt like I got away with one.
Q. Ryan, I know you're used to having rain delays, playing in an eastern city, but did it seem to be odd playing in the middle of the night like this, 1:30 in the morning and still out there playing?
RYAN HOWARD: No, not at all. Not at all. We knew going in how the weather was going to be today. And today it was not an easy day to try and be up to -- well, normally during the season a day like today is not an easy day to try to be up for a baseball game. But everybody was ready to go, and we knew we were going to wait it out and just go out there and play the game. So everybody was ready to go.
Q. Jamie, what is your emotions like during those final two and a third innings, especially the ninth inning when you're watching your team's game and kind of helpless to do anything about it?
JAMIE MOYER: I was in the clubhouse, but I was pulling for the guys, just like I would on the bench. And when Bruntlett got hit, I wasn't wishing that he got hit, but he got hit and that started the rally. And then the errant throw, the wild pitch, the errant throw, now he's on third, now it forces Joe to do a lot of things. And everything worked out in our favor.
And I was sitting actually with Scott Eyre in the clubhouse, I felt like something good was going to happen in that situation. And when Chooch (Ruiz) hit that ball, I think I went from my seat to the ceiling. So I was excited.
Q. Ryan, it looks like you finally found your swing. You're looking comfortable up at the plate. Is it something mechanical that was giving you the problem previously?
RYAN HOWARD: No, it wasn't really anything mechanical. It's just seeing the ball and picking up the pitch and just reacting to it. It's been kind of a slow but steady process. I had some good swings out there today and luckily for me was able to get a home run out of it today. I'm feeling pretty good at the plate. It's definitely coming.
Q. Can you talk a bit about, I know mathematically you're just sat 1-1, but to win this game, the first of three at home, how important was this to get off to a good start here?
RYAN HOWARD: It's huge. Especially the way Jamie came out and pitched. It was definitely huge. This is why you have home-field advantage. And you have to take advantage of it while you have it. So to come out here and win the first game here in Philly, you definitely want to come out and try to set the tone and put you in a good position to try to come out tomorrow and try to get another game.
Q. Jamie was just talking about how he kind of watched the last inning unfold. Can you tell me how it was for you in the dugout, just with Bruntlett and Ruiz?
RYAN HOWARD: When Eric got up there, I think he got up to a 2-1 count or whatnot, and then got hit by the pitch. So whatever it takes to get the rally kind of going. And then Shane almost got hit. And Bruntlett took off for second and the errant throw, which allowed him to go to third. And right then we're sitting in a pretty good position. A guy on third and nobody out. And luckily for us, Chooch was able to get that hit, and it didn't have to go 400 feet, just about 25.
Q. On that play at first base that Jamie made, what was your perspective on that? And were you impressed with the old guy's athleticism?
RYAN HOWARD: You know what, I was definitely impressed. The way that Jamie got off the mound, the ball just kind of kept going. Because when I saw Carl bunt it, it looked like it was going to die kind of early, and all of a sudden it kept rolling and rolling and rolling, and Jamie made a hell of an effort to get over there and get the flip.
I thought we had him. The only way I thought we can get him is by me trying to barehand it. I thought we had him at first base, but I guess the umpire thought otherwise.

For con artists and swindlers the 2010 Census is a golden opportunity for mischief. With forms going out to every household in the country, the pool of potential victims is huge.
So far, there are no reports of any significant census fraud taking place. But based on 25 years of consumer reporting, I can guarantee you it's going to happen.
The biggest threat is identity theft. Paul Stephens with the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse in San Diego says there are four main ways you can be tricked into giving up your personal financial information.
"You could receive an e-mail that is fraudulent. You could receive a phone call that's fraudulent. You could even receive a fraudulent census form in the mail. And, of course, you could be visited by an imposter claiming to be a census worker," Stephens explains.
Here's what to watch out for:
Fraudulent e-mail
The Census Bureau will not send out any electronic correspondence dealing with the 2010 census. Any e-mail claiming to be related to the current census is bogus, most likely a phishing scam designed to steal personal financial information.
Rod Rasmussen with the Anti-Phishing Working Group tells me they fully expect some sort of online attack.
"It's the first time we've had a census since malware went commercial," he says, "and the opportunities are just too rich – especially for the scammers who are really good at 'topical' social engineering." By that he means hackers who base their attacks on current events.
Before you delete any fraudulent e-mail, forward it to the Census Bureau at so it can be investigated.
Bogus phone calls
Census workers do make phone calls. In fact, one of the questions on the census form asks for your telephone number in case there's a problem with your responses. A legitimate census employee will only ask about the 10 questions on the census form.
If you are uncertain about the caller, contact the regional census center in your area.
Fake survey forms
Paul Stephens says it's possible the bad guys could send out their own survey forms made to look like the real thing. You can see what a real census form looks like at census2010.gov. Everyone gets the same form with ten simple questions.
The Census Bureau will never ask about account numbers or other sensitive information.
"If you receive something in the mail supposedly from the Census Bureau and it asks you questions such as financial information, passwords, Social Security numbers, anything like that — it is not legitimate," Stephens says. Disregard it and report it to the United States Postal Inspection Service.
Imposter census takers
What if someone knocks on your door? While some census workers have been going out to update addresses and leave forms, they will not make home visits to ask for responses to the census form until May 1. And then they will only go to homes where the census form has not been returned.
A real census taker has an ID badge. There's a watermark of the Department of Commerce insignia on the front and their name and an expiration date on the back. They should also have a flier that tells you how to contact their supervisor. The people going door-to-door may have a bag and a handheld or notebook computer. Each of these items will have the Census Bureau insignia on it.
"Our people are trained to conduct their interview on your doorstep and not go into the house," says Census Bureau spokesman Michael Cook. "They are also trained not to push. They are happy to make an appointment to come back."
Census takers only ask for answers to the same 10 questions that are on the census form. If you are asked anything that seems inappropriate, such as Social Security numbers or financial information, you're probably talking to an imposter. Tell them to leave and contact your local police department.
If there's any doubt, check them out first by calling your regional census office.
Confusion about another census survey
I'm hearing from people who are getting what's called the "American Community Survey" in the mail. They're afraid it's a scam. It's not. The American Community Survey (ACS) is a yearly survey done by the Census Bureau that provides the government with more current data in-between the every-ten-year Census.
ACS forms are sent to about 1 in every 480 households. This survey asks very detailed and personal questions such as employment status, yearly income, mortgage payments and property taxes. It takes about 40 minutes to complete.
The data collected is used by state and local governments to plan and fund such things as school construction, transportation systems, public housing, police and fire precincts and future utility needs.
Some people find the questions intrusive. But just like the decennial census, you are required by law to respond. If you don't, expect to be contacted by a census taker.
We all need to be counted
None of this is meant to discourage you from filling out your census form. In fact, I encourage you to fill it out and mail it back as soon as possible. I sent mine in this week.
It's important that we are all counted because this information has both financial and political ramifications. Census data is used to figure out how much federal money comes into your community. The number of seats allotted to each state in the House of Representatives is based on population figures determined by the census.
Here's something else to consider — it costs a small fortune to collect this information from people who don't mail back the census form.
"The greater the response, the greater the savings," Cook says.
According to a Pew Research Center survey released last week, a majority of Americans (70 percent) say they will return the form. Cook says taxpayers will save $85 million for every 1% the Census Bureau can increase the mail response rate.

Team One Wins Honors
For 100% Attendance
Gospel Team I, presenting its en-tire
team, won the attendance
award at the Gospel Team Rally
held in the Seminary chapel re-cently.
This team; which is led by
Cliff Bjorklund, topped all other
four teams in percentage attend-ance
with a perfect roll-call. As
their contribution to the program
of the evening, the team spelled
out the words: "Here I am Send
Me." While the team, holding up
their various letters, stood in front
of the aggregated teams, they sang
"When He calls me, I will an-swer."
The entire program was centered
about spreading the gospel through
tracts, personal work, and gospel
team meetings.
Gordon Johnson led in the sing-ing
of choruses to start the eve-niing.
Intermittently between
choruses, Melvin Swanson read
choice Scripture verses. Then the
various teams were introduced.
Olaf Nelson's team gave a report
responsively of their work. Their
theme song was "Lead me to some
soul today."
Portraying a street car scene,
Melvin Swanson's team showed
the importance of witnessing on
public conveyances. The team led
by Gunnar Hoglund gave a school
scene. The teacher, Lloyd Thomp-son,
asked various members of the
team about their work. "It pays to
serve Jesus," was shown through
the question and answer method.
Another street car was brought
into the Sem. Chapel, by Gordon
Johnson and his colleagues. It also
was the background for a method
of personal soul-winning.
Peter McFarland of the Union
Gospel Mission gave a short mes-sage
on Phillip's call to the min-istry.
The message issued a chal-

Our Dorm on a COMPLAINER
Many times have we heard about
the progTess of the proposed ladies
dormitory to be constructed on the
corner of the block facing the
present playing field, on the cor-ner
of Arlington avenue. Have we
ever stopped to consider just what
this addition to Bethel will mean?
It will provide the women with a
center of social school life. Its re-ception
room will be used for so-cial
all-school functions. It will
include an equipped dining room
and kitchen. It will be a true home
for the ladies where they will en-joy
Christian fellowship, learn
many lessons from each other and
above all learn to understand, ap-preciate
and cooperate with other
As to the need of such a build-ing
on our campus there is no
question. As it is now many of
the ladies go to their classes, talk
a bit in the halls and then scatter
to their various rooms in the
homes of the Midway district.
Some must take street cars, some
ride in cars, others walk consider-able
distances. Often they miss
the special programs and services
in the school during the evening
because of the inconvenience of
getting to school and back home
again. They thus are deprived of
many educational assets and spir-itual
The Dormitory which we hope to
begin this spring will remedy these
difficulties to a great degree. Ac-cording
to reports from Rev.
Malmsten approximately $33,000 of
the necessary $40,000 has been re-ceived
in pledges and cash. Dif-ferent
societies and groups have
already promised to furnish a ma-jority
of the rooms.
With the first of the year the
boards and committees in charge
of this improvement of our facili-ties
will resume their work on the
project with the hope that they
will be able to build by spring.
The question in their mind is,
"Can we go ahead now?" You can
help them answer the question.
Invest your energy and your
money in this worthy cause. Boost
it by your mention of it. Uphold
it in prayer. Its your dormitory!

Every man is endowed with a
power to judge. When he uses this
power, more often than not he dis-agrees
or disapproves of that
which comes before his attention.
That is as it should be. I would
not have you think that I disap-prove
of disapprovers. On the con-trary,
I wholly disapprove of that
person who will gently and quietly
accept everything and anything
that is given to him. He may
agree silently for a while, but
sooner or later an eruption takes
place and all of his solemn serious-ness
disappears with remarkable
rapidity. From then on nothing is
right, not even a refreshing show-er
on a sultry summer day. He
glibly relates his grievences be his
audience large or small — or no
audience at all. At no other time
is he able to command forth such
a fluent release of words.
But perhaps you can see good
points in the complainer. No one
would accuse him of a lazy mind,
for he is always on the lookout for
something different about which to
find fault. A complainer is never
a difficult person with which to
converse, for he never lacks a topic
for discussion. And yet I'm sure
that he would be entirely unhappy
if it happened to be nice weather
on the day of the family reunion
picnic. His Utopia consists of a
drizzling rain and a late train. I'm
sure he prays for a squeaky hinge
on the "pearly gates."

we know and she admits rather
sheepishly that she just can't bear
to throw anything away. Her yen

Miss Johnson has a collection of
poetry that would be the envy of
many a public speaker, there be-ing
more than two thousand selec-tions
on file besides many volumes
of various authors. She has her
own filing system which is very
ingeniously worked out. Her favor-ite
poets are Byron, Shelley, and
Keats, but she doesn't like Words-worth.
Miss Johnson's most expensive
hobby is collecting unused blocks
of four in commemorative stamp
issues. She looks upon this as an
investment, however, and no doubt
she will realize something in a fi-nancial
way from it at some future

such a welcome vacation,
she finished four scrapbooks and
has about twelve left to do. In
one book she has beautiful young

young men on opposite pages. She
says her closet is so full of maga-zines

Among other things Miss John-son

Hagstrom Represents Bethel
At Educational Conferences
Problems Relevant to Seminaries Discussed
Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom recently spent twelve days in the East, travel-ing
in the interest of the school, attending several conferences of execu-tives.
In New York, he attended a meeting of the Board of Directors for
the Swedish Missionary Board. At this conference, three persons were
accepted for missionary work abroad.
A short stay in Chicago was sufficient Ito provide time for three im-portant
executive meetings. The first of these was a meeting of the
Presidents of Baptist Theological Seminaries of the North. All of the
Seminaries were represented but one. Many important issues were dis-cussed.
Among these was the question of student aid, and the giving
of correspondence courses from seminaries.
A uniformity of curricula and pre-seminary college courses was also
brought up. Student counciling, and personnel programs were other
items Of busi-ness.
The idea of ap-prenti

was discussed.

Via Ethel Ruff
Most Bethel students will be go-ing
home for Christmas. Probably
the one who will travel farthest is
Ethel Ruff of Wetaskiwin, Alberta,
Canada. She is going to Canada
to conduct meetings in some of the
missionary outposts.
The Canadian field, which is
served by Rev. D. M. Anderson, is
fifteen hundred miles long and
five hundred miles wide. In this
area many poverty-stricken dis-tricts
are to be found. The dis-tribution
of old clothes has be-come
a part of the missionary pro-gram
of the Swedish Baptist Con-ference.
A box of clothes is being gath-ered
for Miss Ruff to take with
her. Any old garments that you
cannot use or have discarded will
surely be appreciated by these des-titute
Canadians. Please bring any
old clothes which you would like
to donate to that field to the of-fice.

Swanson Nets Final
Goal As Game Ends
Resisting an inspired and furi-ous
rally, Bethel's 1941 cage quin-tet
nosed out the U. of M. Farm
School "Aggies" by the score of
41 to 39, last Saturday evening in
the Farm School field house.
Setting a terrific pace in the be-ginning
of the game, the Bethel-ites
showed smooth passing, good
teamwork, and fairly accurate
shooting. Both clubs made an ex-cellent
showing despite the game
being the first of the season for
the local aggregation.
Bethel led the Aggies 19 to 12
at the half. Towards the end of
the second half, the Aggies sud-denly
came to life and started their
drive. With six minutes left, the
Bethelites had a comfortable lead
of ten points. It was not long,
however, until the Aggies had cut
this to eight, and then six points.
Aggies Cheer Team
Accompanied by roof-raising
yells of their supporters, the Ag-gies
continued their rally to final-ly
tie the Red and White at thirty
nine all. With about fifteen sec-onds
to go, "Shine" Swanson sunk
a beautiful shot from the corner of
the floor, and gave the "Institut-ers"
their 41-39 victory.
Pinke, Aggie center, was high
point man for the evening, garner-ing
a total of twenty-four points.
Truman Halvorsen and Swanson
led the Red and White aggrega-tion
with ten points apiece.
Meschke, Aggie forward, went out
on personal fouls. Nyman and Pe-terson
had three fouls each, and
the others were not much better

Gypsy Mania performs on Radio Heartland
"Hot club" jazz isn't new to Minnesota. In fact, there are several bands in the region performing the 20th Century style of jazz attributed to Django Reinhardt and Stephanne Grappelli. And the members of Gypsy Mania say the Twin Cities, in fact, has become the center for that style of music lately.
Gypsy Mania is a quartet made up of local musicians, Glen Helgeson, Reynold Philipsek, Gary Schulte and Jeff Brueske. They have released a new self-titled record and, with the help of percussionist Michael Bissonnette, they performed some songs in the studio for Radio Heartland's Dale Connelly.
Songs performed: "Bar Del Pi," "Butterfly," and "It Don't Mean A Thing."

The one-time heavy favorite for the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Grade I), Repole Stable's Uncle Mo, was out for a gallop at Churchill Downs on Tuesday as the reigning 2-year-old champion started his first full day at Churchill Downs since he returned to the track on Monday.
Five-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Todd Pletcher, who won his first Kentucky Derby last year with WinStar Farm's homebred Super Saver, was on hand at Churchill Downs to watch Uncle Mo's earning morning gallop under exercise rider Hector Ramos. He also watched E. Paul Robsham Stables' R Heat Lightning, the likely favorite for the $1 million Kentucky Oaks (Grade I), and Repole Stable's other Kentucky Derby hope, Gotham winner Stay Thirsty, gallop over Churchill Downs' historic one-mile oval.
Uncle Mo was on the track around 6:30 a.m. (all times Eastern) and Pletcher indicated that would likely be the colt's training schedule on through the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 7.
Ramos is also the regular exercise rider for R Heat Lightning, and Pletcher said the rider's dual duties would likely mean that she would be on the track during Churchill Downs' special post-renovation break training session for Derby and Oaks contenders in the days leading up to those races. Ramos will probably climb into the saddle aboard Uncle Mo around the time the track opens for training each day at 6 a.m.
"Same rider, and he can't ride both horses," Pletcher said. "She's probably the toughest horse on the grounds to gallop. She'll appreciate the quieter set from 8:30 to 8:45, where there's not going to be as many horses. That's what I'm thinking right now, but I haven't sorted it all out."
Pletcher said Uncle Mo, who appeared likely to be one of the heaviest Kentucky Derby favorites in recent years until his third-place finish to Toby's Corner in the $1 million Wood Memorial (GI) at Aqueduct, continues to be treated for gastrointestinal tract infection that was discovered a few days after that surprise setback. Pletcher hopes Uncle Mo moves forward as he trains over the track where he won the Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile (GI) last November.
"I think he's in the same position that every horse in this race is in, that they need to have a really good 19 days," Pletcher said. "Obviously when you have a gastrointestinal tract infection, you know your appetite is not going to be as good as you'd like for it to be and that type of thing. So we feel like he's making progress and that he's doing well but, like I said, he's got to have a really good 19 days. But so does Stay Thirsty and everyone else.
"Last year Super Saver was awesome for 21 days here. That's what you need, and that's why everything has to fall into place."
Pletcher-trained 3-year-olds Dance City and Brethren, who finished third and 11th, respectively in the $1 million Arkansas Derby (GI), are due in Kentucky this afternoon on a flight that lands in Lexington. Dance City and several horses on that flight will travel by van to Churchill Downs, but Pletcher said Brethren would head home to nearby WinStar Farm for a couple of weeks rest and is definitely off the Kentucky Derby trail. He said there was no apparent problem with the half-brother to Super Saver, but some rest was in order following his run at Oaklawn Park.
"Physically there's nothing," said Pletcher. "It was just a disappointing effort. WinStar's right there, so they're going to take him home and give him a freshening."
Uncle Mo will work twice at Churchill Downs before the Kentucky Derby, but Pletcher is not sure at this point when those training moves will be scheduled.
"I want to get two works into him, that's the only thing I'm thinking about," Pletcher said. "If I decide he needs a few extra days, then obviously that's going to push the other one back a few days at the other end."
Pletcher said Dance City is not being considered for the Kentucky Derby because he does not have enough graded earnings to make the field the maximum field of 20 horses. He could be pointed toward the Preakness (GI), the second jewel of the Triple Crown at Pimlico on May 21. He said that Joe Vann, who is not nominated to the Triple Crown but won the recent Illinois Derby (GIII), will probably be pointed to the $200,000 Peter Pan (GII) at Belmont Park on May 14.
ARKANSAS DERBY WINNER ARCHARCHARCH SETTLES IN – Robert and Loval Yagos' ArchArchArch, the surprise winner of last week's $1 million Arkansas Derby (GI), is settling in familiar surroundings at the Churchill Downs barn of veteran trainer William "Jinks" Fires.
The 3-year-old son of Arch arrived on the grounds of the home of the Kentucky Derby around 7:00 a.m. Tuesday after an overnight van ride from Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark.
Archarcharch trained over the Churchill Downs racing surface during the summer and fall of his 2-year-old season and finished as the runner-up in his career debut over the track in late November. The Arkansas Derby lifted his career record to 3-1-1 in six races, and Archarcharch will bring earnings of $832,744 into Kentucky Derby 137.
Horses that finished behind Archarcharch in the Arkansas Derby are scheduled to arrive at Churchill Downs Tuesday afternoon following a flight that lands in Lexington. The flight originated in California and made a stop in Hot Springs before heading to Kentucky.
Several of those horses will van from Lexington to Churchill Downs. They include:
- Runner-up Nehro, who will head to trainer Steve Asmussen's Barn 33,
- The Factor, the beaten favorite in the Arkansas Derby, who will head to trainer Bob Baffert's stalls in Barn 33
- The Jeff Bonde-trained duo of Sway Away, fourth in the Arkansas Derby, and Sunland Park Derby (GIII) winner Twice the Appeal – with both will be headed to Barn 42.
Also scheduled to arrive at Churchill Downs on Tuesday is Kentucky Oaks contender Joyful Victory, winner of the Fantasy (GII) at Oaklawn Park. The J. Larry Jones-trained daughter of Tapit traveled by van from Oaklawn Park and will be stabled in Barn 43.

Some things we were just born to do. And, I believe one of the many reasons I was created is to eat at fine dining restaurants. There's nothing more engaging than the ambiance and personality specific to that particular restaurant – often overflowing with charm, extraordinary music and a special menu focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients locally grown. What I anticipate the most, while dining at these specialty eateries, is the dessert menu – which often includes homemade sorbets or ice cream made especially for me by the Pastry Chef.
Between you and me, I figure I've had the very best. That is until I discovered Quattro's Executive Pastry Chef Philippe Valladares' vanilla bean ice cream.

- Knowing your strengths: If you're quick with a funny one-liner off-the-cuff or able to speak precisely to the time allotted, you'll know that after many turns at the lectern...and you'll run with those strengths, again and again. In turn, that creates a base of confidence for you to work from.
- Knowing your weak spots: Some beginning speakers have trouble identifying what they're doing wrong, but seasoned speakers rarely do, if they're being honest. Part of experience means knowing precisely where you fall short--and ideally, having a commitment to targeting those problems.
- The last-minute save: Your years of long experience have prepped you well for the Hail Mary pass of public speaking, that request to fill in for another speaker at the last minute. Not only will organizers think of you, but you'll be more ready to say "Sure, no problem" when that call comes in.
- Flexibility like Gumby: If you've got experience speaking under all sorts of circumstances, you can manage without your slides or with a different microphone setup or under a tighter time pressure than originally booked. Practice and experience build that flexibility in speakers so you can stretch to accommodate many situations.
- Working the room: The more experience you have as a speaker, the more you know how to make the most of your interaction with the audience, whether it's on Twitter or in the actual room. If you're presenting, it's targeted at the decision-maker in the room. If you're persuading a crowd, you do it with gusto that builds a shared excitement. And if there's a crowd afterward, you're generous in speaking with those interested audience members.
- A+ in the Q&A: More seasoning usually makes for better answers during the extemporaneous portion of a presentation, both because the seasoned speaker is better prepared and less taken aback by questions, and because she knows their importance in persuading the audience. You're also more likely to cut to the chase and speak your mind--and audiences love that.
- Savvy sussing: You don't fall for those unprepared organizers or the panel offer where you'd be one of 15 speakers anymore. Seasoning for speakers also means you're better at evaluating speaking requests to make sure they work for you, and that you can turn down the ill-fitting speech opportunity with no regrets.
- A sense of self: This might be the seasoned speaker's strongest advantage: She knows who she is as a speaker, and isn't afraid to share personal details or to roll with odd or unusual situations. As a result, she's better able to connect and appear credible and confident to her listeners.

8 secret advantages of the seasoned speaker
Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)

I have just set up a new Samba 3.3 server on a virtualized CentOS 5.4 machine and have found that it is having performance issues under a very particular set of circumstances. My boss has a Macbook Pro running Mac OSX 10.6. When he tries to...say...transfer a 30 megabyte file onto the server, it is excruciatingly slow (15+ seconds).
Here is a couple of other interesting data points, though:
- Transferring the same file off the server only takes a few seconds. The extreme slowness is only on write.
- Transferring the same file onto an old samba server that we've already got set up running Fedora Core 5 and Samba 3.0 is almost instantaneous. Needless to say, we're trying to upgrade, or else we would continue to use it.
- Transferring the same file onto the new server using SFTP takes 1-2 seconds.
- When I try to transfer the same sample file onto the new server using my personal OSX 10.5 machine, it takes around 5-6 seconds no matter what protocol I use (Samba, SCP, SFTP). So it's slower than my bosses machine on the other protocols, but faster when using Samba.
I have already tried some of the speedup tricks listed in Google such as
socket options = TCP_NODELAY,
read raw and
write raw, but none of them appear to have any effect on the resulting speeds. The firewalls are all configured correctly, with the virtual host passing along all bridged traffic to the appropriate virtual server and "Samba" is allowed through on the virtual server itself. I also looked through the old server's configuration file and nothing jumped out at me as being a "aha, this is why it's so fast."
Any other ideas?
EDIT: New information. I found out that my computer was using WiFi instead of ethernet. When I switched to ethernet, my performance on the server became identical to my bosses in every aspect (SFTP fast, Samba write super-slow, etc.).

On Poker: Good luck symbols originate via great stories
I never understood the concept of the "lucky" rabbit's foot.
It wasn't very lucky for the rabbit. Yet, it remains a popular icon for good fortune in life and gambling circles.
The history of the rabbit foot varies, and it's mostly up to the eyes of the beholder what story is believed. Most signs point to an origin within the Celtic tribes of the British Islands between 700-500 B.C. Or was it Africa?
Because they are burrowing animals, one story says rabbits actually were witches that shape-shifted into bunny form once they returned to the surface. Kill a rabbit, and you kill a witch. History always has been unkind to witches.
Another story is that the foot, which is always taken from the left hind leg of the doomed rabbit, must be harvested while the animal was still alive.
Another is that the rabbit must be shot with a silver bullet.
Another is that the animal must be killed by a person with crossed eyes, in a cemetery under the brightness of a full moon.
A lot of thought went into a little furry foot.
Good-luck charms can come in a variety of forms, but they always are accompanied by a great story.
Poker Hall of Famer Johnny Chan likes to place an orange that he doesn't eat in front of him when playing cards. When he won the World Series of Poker Main Event from 1987-88, the citrus was by his side and has remained ever since.
The orange provided luck, but it also provided something else. There was no such thing as a smoke-free poker room at that time. In fact, they were the absolute opposite of that, as poker caters itself to cigarette smoking like peanut butter to jelly.
A non-smoker, Chan's only method to make the environment bearable was to scratch off a little of the rind off the orange and use the scent of the fruit as an air filter.
In his autobiography "The Godfather," poker icon Doyle Brunson cites his firm belief in the power of "Casper The Friendly Ghost." Casper is nothing more than a cheap, $5 black rectangular stone with the logo from the movie "Ghostbusters" emblazoned on it along with his Dolly nickname.
However, Brunson is steadfast that his results when carrying "Casper" trump his results without the stone significantly. The card protector has gained such notoriety that Brunson rents it out for $500 in 30-minute increments. In a single year, he collected more than $25,000 in rental fees.
It's common for players to take a chip from tournaments they have won. Silver and gold coins from a player's birth year are popular choices as well.
There is no mathematical or scientific way to prove whether a good luck charm actually produces legitimate results. But if it's the sort of item or tradition that makes you more comfortable in your gambling environment, there are benefits of its inclusion on those merits alone.
It might not have the history of a rabbit's foot, but what does?

Our series of features looking at minor league theme jerseys picks up this week with the AHL's Texas Stars. The Stars are celebrating their fifth anniversary in Cedar Park this season.
Primary Uniforms
The franchise was actually founded 15 years ago as the Louisville Panthers, but the team shut down after two seasons. They were resurrected in Des Moines as the Iowa Stars in 2005. The name was changed to Iowa Chops for the 2008-09 season when the club became affiliated with the Anaheim Ducks. In 2009, the franchise was sold and moved to Texas a re-affiliated with Dallas.
During the 2013-14 season, the Stars wore three special theme jerseys. Before we get to those, the mini-slideshow up top will give you an idea of what the team looks like on a regular basis.
The Stars just unveiled this look last May.
Stars & Stripes Military Appreciation Weekend
November 8–9
The Stars held the first of two military appreciation weekends leading into Veterans' Day. Players were decked out in this patriotic mix of red, white and blue for Stars & Stripes Weekend. Be sure to check out all the photos above.
The special sweater was designed by Stars center Taylor Vause, who was featured here on Icethetics two years ago when he created a couple of jerseys for his WHL team, the Swift Current Broncos. Great to see Vause moving up through the ranks both in his jersey design career as well as his playing career.
The Stars wore this sweater for two games against the Milwaukee Admirals. Both were high-scoring outings as Texas won 7-4 and 5-4 on back-to-back nights.
The weekend was sponsored by Sport Clips and the subsequent jersey auction benefited the Texas Stars Foundation.
Pink in the Rink Weekend
February 21–22
Pink-infused jerseys hit the ice in Texas just last month as the Stars hosted their annual Pink in the Rink Weekend, sponsored by Cedar Park Regional Medical Center.
"Our Pink in the Rink sweater was my first stab at designing a jersey," said Texas Stars graphic designer Alisa Kessler. Her black-based cancer night jersey was among the best the AHL had to offer this season, if you ask me.
For more, see this post from Feb. 5 and this one from Feb. 24.
The theme jerseys continued to be hot for the Stars as they defeated the Charlotte Checkers on back-to-back nights, coming out on top 4-1 on Friday and taking a shootout win on Saturday.
Jersey auction proceeds benefited Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas.
Military Appreciation Weekend
March 21–22
Finally, this past weekend, the Stars honored the military once more with these black and white arctic camouflage sweaters. I imagine it'd be easy for the opposing team to lose track of a puck shot at a goalie's chest. Where'd it go?
"I helped design our latest Military Appreciation arctic camo jersey as well," said Kessler. "But the general concept/look didn't change too much from last year – mostly just the color was swapped out from woodland to arctic."
Round Rock Auto Group sponsored the weekend and auction proceeds benefited the Texas Stars Foundation.
The Stars were successful again wearing special uniforms for back-to-back nights against the Oklahoma City Barons. Texas won 4-3 in a shootout on Friday and 5-3 on Saturday.
In fact, the victories helped the Stars become the first team to clinch a spot in the 2014 Calder Cup Playoffs.
In wrapping up, I have to extend a huge thanks to Texas Stars graphic designer Alisa Kessler, who was extremely helpful in putting this story together.
