Gulfstream Park announced today it will offer 61 stakes races (33 graded) worth more than $10.1 million during its 2012-2013 Thoroughbred race meet, highlighted by the 62nd running of the $1 million Florida Derby (G1) on Saturday, March 30.
The 1 1/8th-mile Florida Derby will be one of seven stakes races – six of them graded – contested on March 30 with total stakes purses of $1.875 million. Other races on Florida Derby Day include the $300,000 Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2), $150,000 Rampart (G3), $150,000 Orchid (G3), $100,000 Skip Away (G3) and $100,000 Appleton (G3).
The Florida Derby has produced 56 Classic winners, the latest coming June 9 when Union Rags won the Belmont Stakes (G1). The Florida Derby has produced 21 Kentucky Derby (G1) winners, 19 Preakness (G1) winners and 16 Belmont winners.
Gulfstream's 90-day winter meet will kick off Saturday, Dec. 1 with the 14th running of the Claiming Crown, an $850,000 seven-stakes event designed to recognize and celebrate the sport's most enduring and competitive claiming horses.
Gulfstream, the winter of home of Thoroughbred champions, will not only offer a lucrative stakes program for 3-year-old colts and fillies pointing toward the spring classics, but also a challenging and diverse schedule for older horses on the main track and turf course.
Along with Florida Derby Day, highlights of the 2012-2013 schedule include:
- The $400,000 Fountain of Youth (G2), contested at 1 1/16th miles, will be one of three graded stakes races Feb. 23 along with the $250,000 Davona Dale (G2) at 1 1/16th miles for 3-year-old fillies and the $150,000 Canadian Turf (G3) for 4-year-olds and up at a mile.
- The $400,000 Holy Bull (G3), for 3-year-olds at a 1 1/16th miles, and the $200,000 Forward Gal (G2), for 3-year-old fillies at seven furlongs, will both be contested on Saturday, Jan. 26.
- The $1.3 Florida Sunshine Millions, historically run the last weekend in January, will be run Saturday, Jan. 19 and serve as a prelude to the 42nd annual Eclipse Awards, capping off a week of fund-raising activities for Thoroughbred retirement and aftercare.
- The 55th running of the $500,000 Donn Handicap (G1) will headline four graded stakes on Feb. 9 for older horses. The three other stakes will be the $300,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap (G1) and the $150,000 Suwannee River (G3), both at 1 1/8th mile on the turf, and the $150,000 Gulfstream Park Sprint (G2) at seven furlongs.
- The inaugural running of the Sophomore Soiree, contested New Year's Day, will feature four stakes races for 3-year-olds including the second running of the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Derby and $100,000 Old Hat Stakes (G3).
- The weekend of March 2-3 will feature three graded stakes for 3-year-olds: the $150,000 Swale (G3) at seven furlongs, the $150,000 Palm Beach (G3) at 1 1/8th miles on the turf, and the $100,000 Herecomesthebride (G3) for fillies at 1 1/8th miles on the turf.
- The inaugural running of the Gulfstream Park Thoroughbred Aftercare Stallion Stakes, for progeny of stallions whose fees are donated to an on-line auction to benefit retired Thoroughbred horses, will be run closing day, April 5 for 3-year-olds and up at 7 1/2 furlongs.
"We believe the stakes schedule for the 2012-13 meeting is the most varied and valuable we have ever offered," said Gulfstream President and General Manager Timothy Ritvo. "Because of the commitment to Thoroughbred racing by our Chairman, Mr. Frank Stronach, we have been able to work with our industry partners to bring the prestigious Eclipse Awards to Gulfstream as well as the popular Claiming Crown. We have made some slight adjustments to our stakes schedule, but we believe our horsemen, who have been incredible partners of ours, will find the changes beneficial and rewarding."
Click link for 2012-2013 stakes schedule:
Gulfstream's stakes schedule for 3-year-olds begin Jan. 1 with four stakes as part of the Sophomore Soiree, including the Gulfstream Park Derby at a mile and the $100,000 Spectacular Bid at six furlongs. It continues Jan. 26 with the $400,000 Holy Bull, as well as the $100,000 Kitten's Joy at 1 1/16th miles on the turf. The $150,000 Hutcheson (G2) will be run at seven furlongs Feb. 2, the Fountain of Youth Feb. 23, the Swale at seven furlongs March 2 and the Palm Beach March 3 at 1 1/16th miles on the turf. The major races for 3-year-olds will culminate March 30 with the Florida Derby.
Gulfstream's stakes schedule for 3-year-old fillies is equally as enticing. Things kick off Jan. 1 with the Old Hat at six furlongs and the $75,000 Ginger Brew at 1 1/16th mile on the turf. The 33rd running of the Forward Gal, contested Jan. 26, will be followed Jan. 27 with the $100,000 Sweetest Chant at a mile on the turf. After the running of the 26th running of the Davona Dale on Feb. 23, the $100,000 Herecomesthebride will be run March 2 across a 1 1/8th-mile turf course followed by the Gulfstream Park Oaks on Florida Derby Day.
For the second consecutive season, Gulfstream will open its racing season in December. Along with the seven Claiming Crown stakes races, Gulfstream will offer horsemen eight additional stakes races during the month, including the $100,000 Sugar Swirl (G3) Dec. 8 at six furlongs for fillies and mares and the $100,000 Mr. Prospector (G3) Dec. 29 for 3-year-olds and up at six furlongs.
Gulfstream's January stakes schedule will offer numerous opportunities on the turf, including the $100,000 Marshua's River (G3) Jan. 5 for 4-year-old fillies and mares; the $100,000 Fort Lauderdale (G3) Jan. 12 for 4-year-olds and up; the Jan. 19 $150,000 Sunshine Millions Turf for 4-year-olds and up and $150,000 Sunshine Millions Filly & Mare Turf for 4-year-olds; the $100,000 Kitten's Joy Jan. 20 for 3-year-olds; and the $100,000 Sweetest Chant Jan. 27 for 3-year-old fillies at a mile.
The weekend of Feb. 16 will offer fans and horsemen two exciting turf races for older horses. The Very One (G3), for fillies and mares 4-year-olds and up, and the Mac Diarmida, for 4-year-olds and up, will both be contested over 1 3/8th miles on the turf course. The 1 1/2-mile Pan American (G2) for 4-year-olds and up on the turf, will be run March 23 while the Orchid, a 1 1/2-mile turf event for fillies and mares 4-year-olds and up, will be run March 30.
Horses 4-years-old and up will get to compete in stakes on Gulfstream's main track in the $400,000 Sunshine Millions Classic, the $150,000 Sunshine Millions Sprint, the Hal's Hope (G3) Jan. 13 at a mile, the Donn, the Gulfstream Park Sprint, the $300,000 Gulfstream Park Handicap (G2) March 9 at a mile, and 1 3/16th-mile Skip Away March 30.

Note: 32-bit chroot for a 64-bit Arch is described in Install_bundled_32-bit_system_in_Arch64 in great detail.
First we decide where to place the 32bit system. This variable will be used throughout this page for flexibilty. The given value is just what the author used. If you prefer some other location, this is the time to change it.
Now we have to create the directories so that pacman can function and affect changes inside our chroot.
mkdir -p $ARCH32_ROOT/var/{cache/pacman/pkg,lib/pacman}
Below is a helper script which I place in /usr/local/bin/pacman32. It will allow us to run pacman from our 64bit install and it will affect our chroot only. Make sure that if you are not using the default location, to change it here.
#!/bin/bash ARCH32_ROOT="/opt/arch32" PACMAN_EXEC="pacman" sed -e 's/x86_64/i686/g' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist > $ARCH32_ROOT/mirrorlist sed -e 's@/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist@/opt/arch32/mirrorlist@g' /etc/pacman.conf > $ARCH32_ROOT/pacman.conf $PACMAN_EXEC --root $ARCH32_ROOT --cachedir $ARCH32_ROOT/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config $ARCH32_ROOT/pacman.conf "$@"
Now we can sync up our 32bit pacman with the repositories.
/usr/local/bin/pacman32 -Sy
And then we install the bare-minimum that we need to install other 32bit programs and libraries.
/usr/local/bin/pacman32 -S filesystem licenses bash sed coreutils gzip
We now setup some of the meaningful configuration files.
cd $ARCH32_ROOT/etc ln -f /etc/passwd* ln -f /etc/shadow* ln -f /etc/group* ln -f /etc/rc.conf ln -f /etc/resolv.conf ln -f /etc/localtime ln -f /etc/locale.gen ln -f /etc/profile.d/locale.sh profile.d ln -f /etc/vimrc cp /etc/mtab .
#!/bin/bash schroot -p -- "$@"
Alternative Setup (Testing)
This setup is being tested and so far seems to work well. It is based on the above comments and the more detailed description in Install_bundled_32-bit_system_in_Arch64.
Create Folder Structure
Create folder to store and sync 32-bit system (as root):
# mkdir /opt/arch32
Create pacman folder structure inside new location:
# mkdir -p /opt/arch32/var/{cache/pacman/pkg,lib/pacman}
Pacman Configuration
Copy the pacman config files from 64-bit system and edit pacman sync files to work as 32-bit system. These two commands will copy and change /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to be saved in /opt/arch32.
# sed -e 's/x86_64/i686/g' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist > /opt/arch32/mirrorlist
# sed -e 's@/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist@/opt/arch32/mirrorlist@g' -e 's/Architecture = auto/Architecture = i686/g' /etc/pacman.conf > /opt/arch32/pacman.conf
N.B. Check that both files in /opt/arch32 point to i686 mirrors - 'Architecture = i686' in /etc/pacman.conf is correct.
Sync 32-bit System Using 64-bit Pacman Command
Use this pacman command to sync files to correct location in /opt/arch32 from 64-bit system:
# pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -Sy
Some of the repositories may not work when syncing, e.g. multilib.
Once pacman is synchronised, install minimum packages:
# pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -S filesystem licenses bash sed coreutils gzip pacman (nano make file gawk grep gcc)
Extra packages in brackets are useful for compiling packages in 32-bit system, e.g. from AUR
Create links in 32-bit system from useful conf files in 64-bit system (some are optional), first change to /opt/arch32/etc directory:
# cd /opt/arch32/etc
Run these commands, including '.' character (during the testing only those marked with required have been needed)
ln -f /etc/passwd* . ln -f /etc/shadow* . ln -f /etc/group* . ln -f /etc/rc.conf . ln -f /etc/resolv.conf . --> required ln -f /etc/localtime . ln -f /etc/locale.gen . --> required ln -f /etc/profile.d/locale.sh profile.d ln -f /etc/vimrc . cp /etc/mtab .
Create Chroot Environment Scripts
Copy bash script below and save as arch32 in /etc/rc.d/
#!/bin/bash . /etc/rc.conf . /etc/rc.d/functions dirs=(/dev /dev/pts /dev/shm /tmp /home) case $1 in start) stat_busy "Starting Arch32 chroot" for d in "${dirs[@]}"; do mount -o bind $d /opt/arch32/$d done mount -t proc none /opt/arch32/proc mount -t sysfs none /opt/arch32/sys add_daemon arch32 stat_done ;; stop) stat_busy "Stopping Arch32 chroot" for (( i = ${#dirs[@]} - 1; i >= 0; i-- )); do umount "/opt/arch32${dirs[i]}" done umount /opt/arch32/{proc,sys} rm_daemon arch32 stat_done ;; restart) $0 stop sleep 1 $0 start ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}" esac exit 0
Then make script executable
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/arch32
In the other descriptions, arch32 daemon was added to /etc/rc.conf. When this daemon is running from start-up, the 64-bit pacman commands to sync to the 32-bit system above don't seem to work properly. This bash script below, executed as user, to chroot into new 32-bit system gets round that problem. Useful for testing....
#!/bin/bash # Start chroot daemon sudo /etc/rc.d/arch32 start # Give users access to Xserver (install xorg-xhost if command not found) xhost + # Chroot into 32-bit system sudo chroot /opt/arch32 # To leave chroot type 'exit' then environment is cleaned up..... xhost - sudo /etc/rc.d/arch32 stop
N.B. The command:
# xhost +
seems to work better than the suggested method:
# xhost +SI:localuser:username
Chroot Into 32-bit System
Run shell script as user (named arch32.sh in this instance) to chroot in 32-bit system. N.B. At this stage all commands are being run as root.
To distinguish between command prompts when running inside the 32-bit system, try altering the bash prompt to signify what is running,
e.g copy your user's .bashrc file into the root's home folder inside 32-bit system, /opt/arch32/root and comment out the usual bash prompt line:
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
and add:
PS1="\[\e[1;34m\][arch32][\u@\h \w]: "
This command will change the text colour to blue and put [arch32] before the normal information. Colour Bash prompt changes are found here
Set locale:
# locale-gen
Modify pacman config files inside 32-bit system: uncomment required mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and as before, change 'Architecture' entry from 'auto' to 'i686' in /etc/pacman.conf
Add any additional repositories and sync:
# pacman -Sy
and install some software:
# pacman -S firefox
N.B. At this point there's no need to add any video drivers, but fonts are needed:
# pacman -S ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation
Run program:
# firefox
Exiting 32-bit system
# exit

A very kind individual sent me an article about George Barclay and Pine River taken from a journal written in 1897 and revisited in the April/May 2005 issue of the MuskyHunter.com magazine. George's grandson, Keith, liked to fish and taught me how.
…at 3:30 started on the Brainerd & Northern Minnesota R.R. for Pine River Station. A logging train off the track ahead of us delayed us somewhat, and we did not reach Pine River until about 7 o'clock, too late to depart for Kabekona Camp that night. We found Pine River a typical backwoods railroad station. There are two houses in the town; one a log cabin, the other a hotel, saloon and general store combined. Barclay, the owner of the hotel, does quite an extensive teaming business for the logging caps in the surrounding country, and, being a Down East Yankee, seems quite prosperous. Around the saloon door was gathered a miscellaneous crowd of about a dozen lumber cruisers, loggers, Indians and teamsters, nearly all drunk or willing to become so. After attending to our luggage and making arrangements for an early morning start for Kabekona we retired to our beds which we found clean and comfortable enough. Tuesday morning dawned cloudy, wet and cold, but we determined to start anyway, as we had little affection for the crowd around Pine River."
Source: "On the Trail of the Muscallonge 19th Century Musky Hunters search for nirvana in the wilds of northern Minnesota." Larry Ramsell, Research Editor Musky Hunter.com. April/May 2005 pg. 80 – 81. "Excerpted from the "New Muscallonge Waters," July 10, 1897 Issue of Forest and Stream by W.P. Mussy. This was a journal about a fishing party.
My Aunt Miriam writes in her notes regarding George:
"He had land–Pine River is on it now –ran a "stopping place" and equipped gippos. (A gippo was an independent logger.)
Note: Miriam misspelled the word gippos in her notes. It is spelled "gyppo."
Wikipedia has a definition at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyppo_logger
Hmmm….this description of Pine River shows that it was a pretty rough place in 1897.

You probably know that smoking is NOT cool—and that it's really dangerous, too. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and kills nearly a half a million people each year.
The chemicals found in cigarette smoke have been linked to serious long-term side effects, including cancer, emphysema, heart disease, and even death. People who smoke may become infertile, and pregnant women who smoke are more at risk for stillbirths, having babies with low birth weight, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
The Food and Drug Administration recently announced that it will require prominent cigarette health warnings on all cigarette packaging and advertisements in the United States. Check out the new warning labels here: http://www.fda.gov/tobaccoproducts/labeling/labeling/ucm2023662.htm.
But cigarette smoking doesn't just affect the smoker—"secondhand" smoke also affects families and friends and many thousands of others.
Secondhand smoke is exactly what it sounds like: nonsmokers inhale the smoke that "firsthand" smokers exhale from cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that each year, secondhand smoke causes as many as 3,400 lung cancer-related deaths in the United States.
So, if you want a longer, healthier life, better to indulge in activities like sports, yoga, running, and spending time with friends and family.
This is great article. I love reding it.

Nice article.Everyone should avoid smoking because it is very harmful to health.
Smoking destroys the body. Many people know that smoking is wrong. However do to peer pressure many people are to scared to say no. Looking cool can't compare to destroying your health. The best way is know that you will be even more accepted if you are a none smoker. Smoke is past the hype and the truth has been revealed. Smoking kills.
Smoking takes up alot of your money, and is a waste of time. It is unhelthy and can hurt your body really bad, you may think it is cool but it is nott at allll. Alot of the influence of cigaretts comes from tv and it isn't on tv as much as it use to be, like when everyybody was smoking and few knew the harmul affects and causes.

Geocaching In Hot Weather - Hydrate
2 comments:
- Sonny Davis said...
Living and Geocaching in the deep South (South Georgia), we have to constantly be aware of staying hydrated. My wife and I both currently carry a backpack, because most of our geocaches turn into a trail hike as well. We usually just take bottled water and we do split it up between the two packs (not an even split though-LOL. I usually take 4 bottles to her two.)
I appreciate your post, since most people may only think of geocaching as a leisurely activity/hobby, this most important aspect could easily be overlooked.
Thanks for bringing attention to the subject.

I damn near over-heated myself Friday on a hike to do cache maintenance. The secret is: water! You can't have enough water.

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Hotelier Sacramento Kings owner Joe Maloof.
Maloof stopped by KHTK in Sacramento with the Rise Guys to discuss the trouble with owning a small-market team, selling the Rockets back in the day, and how excited he is about DeMarcus Cousins.
On the lack of attendance and how that could hurt the possibility of a new arena:
"We've gotta concentrate on getting fans back into Arco. That's our number one goal and our number one objective. We've gotta get people back in there to watch these games. I think they got a little disenchanted with the team we've had. We haven't had a good team, we've had a very bad team the last three years. As most people know these things go in cycles. You're gonna have some good years and some not so good years. That's why I feel very good that we're on our way back this year. With the talent we have we can really make some noise in the West."
On being approached by other cities:
"I think anytime you have one of these and there's only 30 in the world, you're gonna have cities approach you and try and get that franchise to their city. It just happens and it's happened throughout the past 10 or 11 years that we've owned it. I'm sure more cities will come in the future but we're concentrating on trying to get it fixed here in Sacramento."
On how tough it was to sell the Rockets:
"Yes. Yes. We sold the Rockets and the next day we were on the road looking for another NBA team. It was really a void in our hearts. We loved that team. My dad passed on and we had to make a move that financially it was the right way to go. We had to sell that team, but we'll never sell this team. We love it too much."
On how tough it is for a team like Sacramento to build a roster:
"It almost gets to a point where you have to hit a homerun. It's very difficult to compete when you're not filling up that arena. That's the problem. You have to be able to get the fans in and it's a catch 22. We made the decision to build through the draft and that's what we've done. We're gonna try and take a page out of Oklahoma City's book. They've done a fantastic job in their drafts and I think Geoff (Petrie) has done a wonderful job with the players he's brought in. If you go up and down our roster and look at other team's rosters you're gonna see why we're all so excited. It's hard to find a big man I'd rather have than DeMarcus Cousins. Maybe (Pau) Gasol for a while, but outside of that I think Cousins is going to be the best center in the league some day."

Breakups are awkward, uncomfortable, difficult experiences. Just recently, I experienced a breakup of sorts, as I initiated the end of a relationship dating back 25 years.
The relationship in question: myself and the Maryland Republican Party.
People have different reactions when I told them I'd switched my registration from "Republican" to "Unaffiliated." Conservatives worried I was drifting to the left, perhaps bending to the influence of my Obama-loving friends. As for liberals, some exulted that the political outlier in their lives finally seemed to be getting it.
Well, sorry folks … but I guess I still don't get it.
My switch is a non-ideological gesture of frustration by someone who has worked for and around some of the MDGOP's most notable and successful political figures — including Helen Bentley and Bob Ehrlich — over the past quarter-century.
Put simply, I came to the realization that Maryland needs a countervailing force to its ruling political establishment, and the hapless MDGOP party organization isn't cutting it and likely never will.
Emboldened by its sweep of the 2012 ballot initiatives, the progressive establishment checked off more of its wish list during the 2013 legislative session. It did so by prioritizing enactment of boutique proposals important to narrow constituencies (such as wind subsidies) and ramming through legislation (such as death penalty repeal, gas tax increases and gun control) that significant blocs of Marylanders loudly opposed.
In other words, the state's progressive establishment remotely handed citizens a bitter spoonful of medicine it thought they needed, and which many Marylanders did not want.
Meanwhile, the MDGOP — and I refer specifically to the party's elected leadership and its 300-member state GOP Central Committee — was largely a non-factor in the emotional policy debates raging in Annapolis.
It was absent again just recently as news of the O'Malley prison scandal broke.
The story was first reported Tuesday, and no MDGOP official publicly responded until an afternoon Facebook post appeared on Sunday — five days later.
In all fairness, the MDGOP party organization has long operated on the fringes of relevance. Republicans who have succeeded in Maryland have largely done so by building their own organizations. But with the party down to its last member of Congress (compared to four in 2002) and the state becoming increasingly Democratic, more people are looking to the MDGOP to serve as a catalyst for change.
Instead, what they find is an organization beset by ideological strife, poor finances, warring personalities and endless debates over arcane rules and resolutions that mean nothing to the lives of average citizens.
A recent article in the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard made mocking reference to "Maryland's sorry Republican Party," calling it "dysfunctional" and beset by "something close to nihilism."
Winning congressional or statewide office would be a herculean achievement for Republicans in Maryland. Unfortunately, the MDGOP is dominated by partisans who have given up trying to scale a mountain and are content to police an anthill.
MDGOP National Committeeman Louis Pope embraced this mindset of low expectations in recent correspondence sent to partisans. He blithely refers to "the success of the Maryland Republican Party," which he called "strong and vibrant."
Perhaps it is time to review recent history.
•2006: Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. loses.
•2008: Andy Harris loses his first congressional bid as John McCain carries his district by 19 points.
•2010: Mr. Ehrlich loses by a bigger margin than he did in 2006.
•2012: The GOP loses one of its two remaining members of Congress, its U.S. Senate nominee garners only about a quarter of the vote, and it is badly beaten on the ballot questions.
One has to wonder to what "success" Mr. Pope refers.
Until he or others can compellingly answer that question, I'm content to remain in the "unaffiliated" life raft I have chosen for myself, bumping against two rival ideological currents.
For me, this has never been a purely partisan crusade. A functional opposing voice to the state's political status quo will benefit all citizens, as it will allow them to make better, more informed decisions. Engaging a broad coalition of unaffiliated, Republican and centrist Democratic voters is the necessary first step to developing that contrarian voice.
Unfortunately, it is a step that the MDGOP party apparatus has proved time and again it is unqualified to take.

One-click-solution for setting up
your personal webserver.
Configure an unlimited number of
virtual hosts, DynDNS, email…
MAMP 4 brings even more opportunities for web developers. We are now supporting MySQL 5.6 and Nginx is now fully integrated. Server starting times have been improved.
MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your computer. It comes free of charge, and is easily installed. MAMP will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running on your system. You can install Apache, PHP and MySQL without starting a script or having to change any configuration files! Furthermore, if MAMP is no longer needed, just delete the MAMP folder and everything returns to its original state (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the "normal" system).
Similar to a Linux-Distribution, MAMP is a combination of free software and thus it is offered free of charge. MAMP is released under the GNU General Public License and may thereby be distributed freely within the boundaries of this license. Please note: some of the included software is released using a different license. In these cases, the corresponding license applies.
Apache, the open source http web server is one of the primary parts of MAMP. Because of its modular structure, it can easily be enhanced with add ons. MAMP comes with over 70 Apache Modules such as PHP, SSL, Webdav, Auth, Cache and many more. Many ISPs use Apache, making MAMP the perfect tool for testing your websites locally before releasing them.
Nginx is a web server. It can act as a reverse proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols, as well as a load balancer and an HTTP cache.
A database is at the heart of every modern, dynamic website. MAMP comes with MySQL which is the most commonly used relational database system. There is a MySQL interface for nearly every programming and scripting language available. Thanks to MAMP you can easily develop complex MySQL database applications on your local PC and upload them afterwards on to your live system. For easy configuration MAMP PRO comes with phpMyAdmin.
81% (and growing) of all websites are using PHP as its server side programming language. This means PHP is the most commonly used programming language for creating websites. PHP is preinstalled by nearly every ISP. MAMP comes with 2 versions of PHP. You can switch between the versions in the settings. The most popular extensions such as XCache, Sqlite, Curl, Freetype and libxml come pre-installed with MAMP.
Complicated installation routines are now a part of the past. MAMP automatically installs the most recent version of Python, including mod_wsgi and mod_python. This means, MAMP can be configured in a similar way to how most common ISPs are set up. Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Python is known as an easy to learn language because of its clear structure.
Perl is a family of high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages. Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. For many years Perl was the preferred programming language for Unix administrators and Unix developers. Because of its popularity Perl was used more and more as a web programming language for creating CDGI-Scripts. MAMP integrates Perl by using mod_perl which means perl scripts can be executed outside of cgi-bin.
The MAMP start page provides information about all installed components. It also contains access to web tools such as phpMyAdmin, SQLite Manager and phpLiteAdmin. The start page can be directly accessed within the MAMP application.

Monthly lowest air temperatures for Australian Antarctic stations.Entry ID: SOE_monthly_min_temp
Abstract: INDICATOR DEFINITION
Monthly lowest temperatures obtained from observed daily minimum temperatures for Australian Antarctic stations Casey, Davis, Mawson and Macquarie Island.
There are three types of indicators used in this report:
1.Describes the CONDITION of important elements of a system;
2.Show the extent of the major PRESSURES exerted on a system;
3.Determine RESPONSES to ... either condition or changes in the condition of a system.
This indicator is one of: CONDITION
Global climate models show warming in response to increased greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide, methane etc) concentrations in the atmosphere; this is called the 'enhanced greenhouse effect'. Because of this, there is interest in observations of temperature across the globe, including Antarctica. Extensive high-quality observations from fixed locations are essential to serve as direct indicators of temperature changes and also confirm climate model output.
Spatial Scale: Australian Antarctic stations: Casey (lat 66 degrees 16' 54.5" S, long 110 degrees 31' 39.4" E), Davis (lat 68 degrees 34' 35.8" S, long 77 degrees 58' 02.6" E), Mawson (lat 67 degrees 36' 09.7" S, long 62 degrees 52' 25.7" E) and Macquarie Island (lat 54 degrees 37' 59.9" S, long 158 degrees 52' 59.9" E).
Temporal scale: Monthly.
Measurement Technique: Thermometry.
There is need to develop a high-quality data set from the available data, correcting erroneous data and estimating missing data. Adjustment may be necessary for changes in site location or exposure, and for changes in instrumentation or observing practices.
Some of these changes are documented in the station history files held by the Regional Observations Section. These history files are currently held as paper records, although more recent information is held electronically and there is an effort to digitise the older records.
Before the data can be used for the detection of change, a concerted effort will need to be made to identify deficiencies in the data, and then make compensations where possible. This is made more difficult by the lack of suitable comparison sites.
SOE Indicators 1 - Monthly mean air temperatures for Australian Antarctic stations
SOE Indicators 2 - Monthly highest air temperatures for Australian Antarctic stations
SOE Indicators 4 - Monthly mean of daily radiosonde temperatures at the 100hPa level (deg C)
SOE Indicators 5 - Monthly mean of daily radiosonde temperatures at the 500hPa level (deg C)
SOE Indicators 6 - Daily mean 10m Firn Temperatures at AWS sites in the AAT (deg C)
SOE Indicators 8 - Monthly mean of three-hourly mean sea level pressures (hPa)
SOE Indicators 11 - Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gas species
SOE Indicators 14 - Midwinter atmospheric temperature at altitude 87km
SOE Indicators 16 - Extent of summer surface glacial melt (sq km)
SOE Indicators 42 - Antarctic sea ice extent and concentration
SOE Indicators 43 - Fast ice thickness at Davis and Mawson
SOE Indicators 56 - Monthly fuel usage of the generator sets and boilers
SOE Indicators 59 - Monthly electricity usage

Quality Lowest monthly temperatures are obtained by taking the lowest of the observed minimum temperatures for individual days of a given month. The daily minima are currently derived from temperature sensors sampling at 1 second intervals. If less than 25 days are available in any month, the monthly figure is flagged and removed from the State of Environment dataset.
The monthly air ... temperature anomaly is calculated as the difference between the lowest air temperature for a given month and the long-term mean lowest air temperature for that calendar month between 1971 and 2000, so that:
Anomaly (for given month) = Value (for given month) - Long-term Mean (for relevant calendar month)
Although the Bureau of Meteorology uses the period from 1961 to 1990 as the standard period for calculation of long-term means, it was decided that for Antarctic stations, the 1971-2000 dataset was in most cases more complete, and would therefore provide a more accurate long-term mean.
These records require analysis for variability and trends. However, there are likely to be significant errors in the data, and these need to be addressed first (see Research Issues).

text: It's been a while and I'm not 100% sure when people started dropping off. If I'd have to guess, I'd say once school started for everyone at that time, Fall 2004, people started dropping off either that semester or the next, Spring 2005. I'm guessing the reason is either school got in the way or after a while, message boards get kind of old. If you look at Downy's profile, he logged in last on September 14, 2005, Fall 2005, so I guess he's still around. But i'd have to say it was way earlier than that, when the bulk of the cat fighting came to quick death. I noticed you are at Michigan? If I remember correctly, I thought that is where Downy is?

I have used opentrap theme, I have added slider on home page but when slide is changing images loading half and then it load full can you help me?
- satish sanapFebruary 13, 2015 | Reply
also your slider is loading same
do you have any solution for it?
Hello Pavan,
thanks again. I had wrote you for the title. I had to take it away because it goes over my header image, and if I check "don't show title", even the image of my banner goes away. So when you look for us on google the title is just HOME – Bologna http://www.lacarovanacoop.com/, and not La Carovana o.n.l.u.s.. How can I do it?
Thanks a lot,
Hi Pavan,
In addition to sending you an email, I have also pasted the code in pastebin and hopefully you and other members of the forum can access it.
The code I pasted didn't properly display in the post so here is it again: this is what i have added so far in my page.php of the openstrap theme:
Recent Posts
'4' );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
echo '' . $recent["post_title"].' ';
Hi Pavan,
Thanks for the amazing work you have done with the openstrap theme. I have been trying to set up my wordpress website and came across your theme yesterday and so far its been an amazing experience and wouldn't mind making some donations.
One problem however is that,I want a static home page on my WordPress website, I have already set this up and have a bit of content on it, the next step is I want to have atleast 4 most recent posts displayed on my static homepage, I have set up some dummy blog post under my BLOG NEWS page. As a normal page this is no problem, as soon as I set the page to a static home page, the posts disappear. Just to be clear, I have used widget to get most recent posts to display in my footer but again, I want these post to appear directly under my homepage content area before the footer section.
From hours of searching I am aware that I need 'multiple loops' in my template, I have found a few examples and tried to implement them in my template with no success. I think I pretty much have the code ( not 100 % certain though:)) to bring the recent posts through, bust I think I'm having trouble markup and template tags to actually show the posts.
I hope this isn't too complicated to understand, and i really appreciate any help, I've been at this for more than 9 hours with no progress at all.
My website – http://www.spinoffintel.com/
Ok, so this is what i have added so far in my page.php of the openstrap theme:
Recent Posts
'4' );
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
echo '' . $recent["post_title"].' ';
Is this code correct? If yes, is page.php the right file to add this code? if yes, where exactly withing the file do i paste this code to get it to display my recent post on my static home page?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
Hi! I accept a custom articulation in my primary card alleged "Home". How I can appearance the advanced widtgets and the called articulation in the primary card be the "Home"? At this moment, the advanced widgets alone arise if I accept "Static page" and not "Recent articles" and the "Home" articulation doesn't arise in the Static pages.
Hi there, I would like to change the button colour on the Openstrap front page text widget. I see the dropdown menu where you can select 'Primary', 'Success', 'Warning', 'Danger' etc which changes the button colour but I would like to customise the colour of the button to fit my logo. Any ideas? I can't find the code in my CSS editor anywhere. Thank you.
Great theme! Is it possible to modify the the to be a fluid-type theme that covers the entire browser window?
Hi Pavan, you're a great developer and this is the best theme of wordpress!
I want ask to you 2 answers:
1-is it possible hide the "Search" logo and function in the primary bar menu? It's not intresting for my website
2- In the mobile version the secondary menu at the top bar is not visible, is it a my issue?

If you are using the childtheme option here is how I removed the comments icon and link from all my Posts, not Pages. I don't have pages so I don't know if this spans the entire childtheme.

Hi! I have a custom link in my primary menu called "Home". How I can show the front widtgets and the selected link in the primary menu be the "Home"? At this moment, the front widgets only appear if I choose "Static page" and not "Recent articles" and the "Home" link doesn't appear in the Static pages.
I am trying to make this header image responsive. I know it's a large image, hoping I can add custom css to resize it for smaller screens. I have tried these css entries:
.logo-row {
max-width: 100%;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
.logo-row {
background-size: 100% auto !important;
What am I doing wrong? Is .logo-row the wrong element to target?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I tried all but I'm not able to show the frontpage widgets, neither the slideshow. What I'm doing wrong? Thanks a lot!
Hi I am wondering if maybe anyone knows the answer to this question. I am trying to remove the border from around an image? All images on the site. When posting any image in a post it always has a border around it even if I try to tell the individual post border 0. I would like to change it in the css to never have a border. Does anyone know where I can find this?

Is there no active support on this theme anymore? Should I switch themes?
- PavanAugust 26, 2014 | Reply
I didnt see any borders on images in Openstrap theme. Are you referring to image round corners, shadow?
what is your website where you have this theme installed?
Sorry for delayed response, as I am too much occupied in my 9-5 job. I am having hard time to to look in to my passion 🙁
Hello Pava,
I just updated to 1.09 since I was still in 1.03 of the openstrap theme. But now, I have a problem I can't figure out. I use a child theme, and my own background.css, but since the update it gets overruled by this:
body.openstrap-custom-background {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
Can I disable this somewhere? or do I have to fix it someway else?
Hey Sito,
You can clear the color settings from Theme Options -> Basic Settings -> Background Color
If you click on select color button, a new button to clear will appear. Click it and save.
Let me know if this works for you.
also, If you have set any background image, then you need to remove that as well from Theme Options
Hi Pavan, unfortunatel it did not help me out…What I need is a different background on each page, I used to make use of the body-page-id.
And also did not yet figured out if it is possible to display the 'menuitems-descriptions'…I activated them in the backend, but they don't display yet on frontend…
Hi Pavan this is a great theme! Thanks a lot. I'm unsure how do you add the little images (the green ones you have on the demo of the eye, arrows and rocket) to the front page widget rows?
Hey Nick,
You sure about the theme you have in mind.. I think you are talking about Aadya theme (http://demo.opencodez.com/aadya/) To setup front page in this theme you can watch this small video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WUlRZXILnY
If its openstrap then our youtube channel opencodez has video for openstrap as well. Please check out and let me know.

You may want to change and add your fonts to css classes in your child theme –
for sidebar widgets
and for footer widget title
This would be a good theme if it supported Front Page content without the Slider also. I haven't tested it with a slider yet. But if I don't want the Blurb (that is to say, I disable the Blurb), and want to show a Front Page from a WordPress page, and enable it, it does not show anything for the Front Page. Even when I select the page in the Static Page section of the Theme. No front page shows up.
- PavanMay 4, 2014 | Reply
Front page template are designed to be front page of website. They showcase sliders, blurb and some front page text widgets only. If you have any other static page that you want to use as front page that is possible with openstrap. set the page as front page from any WP reading settings and apply any of the non front page template that comes with the theme. I have this setup working at my local setup.
Let me know.
I am looking to change the theme on my website to this theme. i have tested it on a separate site that I don't yet use and it looks pretty cool. The only problem is when you view on a mobile the title and text on the slider get cut off and the button just hides the image. Help!
Also, how can I change the colour of the button? Orange does not match my colour scheme.

You may want to set fix height for slider element. Openstrap comes with 4 different flavors did you try them? If they not suit your need, you need to override css for btn-primary

How do I do this? "set fix height for slider element"
Hi Pavan, i like openstrap but how can i change the main menu color? there are 4 options, style 2 is blue, but i want the main menu to be white, i can't locate the css line to change, i thought it must be in "//wp-content/theme/openstrap/css/style2/bootstrap.css", please help.
Pavan -the theme isn't recognizing any of the picture labels. I have two pictures in my library labeled "header image" and "background" and no matter what I do in the menu/customization I can't get either of them to show up on my webpage. it is like it is looking for the images but not finding them.

Hi Debra,
Are you setting logo and backgorund image using the theme options?
Hi Pavan
I wanted to find out about removing the footer link. I really love the theme, but because I'm using a website look and feel and not a blog layout (I just want it to have the Copyright text in there). I feel like it detracts from the website. Please let me know if this is possible? I'm more than happy to make a donation etc.
Thanks in advance

you can remove that easily. functions.php has one functions related to branding, you can edit that to send whatever text you want

I just checked the site you mentioned here and it seems you got it working.
I am still stuck on my last question, but I think I have a better way to ask.
I have a long site logo that I would like to span the width of the page. I have currently used my logo as the background, and that works, but it isn't responsive across platforms.
The logo space is 250 x 99 and I'd like mine to be 1600 x 150 or so. Is there a way to change the logo size?
Actually, I cant get the header image to load at all. If i uncheck the "text" in header box my header collapses to nothing and even if I check the text, the image is not there and does not show .

Yes Sito, 1.0.7 is available. Its not too much, just basic compatibility with Woocommerce and shop and product page layout stuff. Let me know your feedback.
- PavanMarch 27, 2014 | Reply
Hey Sito,
Just added the basic support for woocommerce in version 1.0.7. This version is not available to download yet. Its under review by WordPress Team.
Hi, I was wondering how one might be able to edit the theme so that one page has a different header image than the rest.
How can I make the static front page show what I have written in the wordpress page (without using widgets)?
- PavanMarch 25, 2014 | Reply
If you don't want to use front page template, change the template of your static front page to one of the non-front page template. eg. Content Sidebar or Sidebar Content.
Let me know if this works for you?
Hi Pavan, thank's a lot for this great theme. 2 questions:
1: I put a banner of my own, so I had to take away the title from the header. When you find my site on google, the title is not what I would. Where should I put my title for searches?
2: can I change fonts? I would like to change the frontpage one (and put bold, too, and the one of the pages.
Thanks a lot for your help,
- PavanMarch 21, 2014 | Reply
Hi Angela,
Do not remove site name and tagline from Appearence -> Custiomize. Instead there is one check box for not showing it to on display. It will be still available to search engines.
You can change fonts, you need to find css for the element and apply new css in your styles.css
Also, How do I change the color of the "previous posts" and "tags" content box?
I love this theme! I do have a question though – is it possible to change the color of the footer menu? The orange color really doesn't go with the rest of what I have up… Thanks!
- PavanMarch 14, 2014 | Reply
Yes you can.
.footer-nav a {
color: #222;
Hi! I was wondering.. What If I want to show a different sidebar on the mobile version, with different content from the "big screen" version?
Should I create a new area in the widget section in order to do this or there is an easier way?
You can use in-built classes available in bootstrap framework.
Check this out http://getbootstrap.com/css/#responsive-utilities
Maybe I've missed something, but I couldn't see how to add page content to the home page, so I added the following to front-page-2.php. It would be nice if there was an option to just enable whether you want the home page to display whatever is in WordPress –> Reading Settings –> Front page displays

<!– .col-md- –>
Consider adding WP Loop that displays content from page/post to front-page template files.
Great Theme Pavan. I'm wondering how you can stop the header image (custom) from tiling to create a second copy of the image. About 3/4 of the way across the header the image starts to repeat. Also, although in the admin it says ideal is 960px x 250px for the header background when you create an image of this size half of it is cut off basically.
- PavanMarch 11, 2014 | Reply
You can select settings while applying header image. Like no-repeat. The theme configuration allows you to do so.
- MJMarch 20, 2014 | Reply
Hi Pavan,
Thanks for the great theme. Can you please explain where to find settings to turn off header image repeat? I can't find settings to control this. If it's controlled by custom css, could you please provide sample code that we can edit?
Thank you.
- PavanMarch 20, 2014 | Reply
You can control it from theme options, when you set header image. Check this
- MJMarch 21, 2014 |
I needed to update the theme — I had an old version and once I updated it, I saw this option. Thanks again.
- PavanMarch 24, 2014 |
If you have not updated any theme php/css files you can update it. If you have update any of the files, I suggest you take a backup and then try new version.
Also Can you help me in setting feature images banner image below menu and header
- PavanMarch 11, 2014 | Reply
Hi Sandesh, Please see this short video
Hello, I want to add feature image below menu. That is in place of slider on every page and post.
Thank you for a great theme. It's working wonderfully, I'm glad you gave us a 'custom.css' file to use as a child. It's working slick.
- PavanMarch 1, 2014 | Reply
Can you please check the template set for the page is overwritten during update?
If yes, please set it back to Front Page With Slider
When I first installed openstrap all my links and headings were gold to match the header -I then changed the colors on the theme and ended up back at my original gold and all the links are now red! Help

Nevermind -i figured it out!
This is a great theme – I've been really happy with it! I'm sort of new to wordpress and this theme allows me to get a really nice look.
Is there a way to fix the header? Or do you have recommendations for a sticky menu plug-in? None of the plugins I have tried work super well with the theme.
may I know the header issue you facing?
- DebraMarch 16, 2014 | Reply
I meant i wanted the header to be fixed or sticky and stay at the top while scrolling.

Still loving this and planning to use it for another website -but I just found out that the site appears to cut off the banner in Safari (desktop and app) – if I make it full screen it works, but if it is just slightly smaller than fullscreen it cuts off a bunch on my banner. Any ideas?

Hi Debra,
I will check this and If I am able to fix it will let you know asap.
Hi Pavan
Thanks for making such awesome themes. I would like to add a background to the Openstrap theme. So I wanted to know what image size would work best across different screen resolutions, I'd like to avoid tiling or the images not being big enough.
Thanks in advance
List pages, click on quick edit. you will see drop down to change templates. Choose the one you want.
did you set the page you applied template as static front page from wp-settings?
Hello Pavan, the mobile version of your theme dont work, because when you push the menu button dont work.
Also i have realized that the other coloured themes are not like the main theme, and the text of the widgets are spread outside of the theme box
Can you say me how to fix it? or are you going to launch a new release?
- PavanFebruary 19, 2014 | Reply
Hi Ric, I checked openstrap demo on mobile and alls working. Can u chk demo site on your device. And yes other styles are bit different on all account, I will chk the error you mentioned though.
hello, the demo is working fine, the menu button works :(( then i dont undestand why dont works for my web
Hello, do you have any idea about the 2 issues (the menu mobile dont work and the subcategories in the web version also do not deploy). Now you can see for example in my web the category "opinion" that dont work when you press, I think the two problems are related to the same.
also please note that you need to build your menu first and apply to the primary/secondary locations. By default child items are not added to menu.
yes, the child items have been added. So that is not the problem. Ok,i am going to try to deactivate some plugins. I thought that the problem could be caused by polylang but i deactivated it days ago but still dont work. I am going to try with the other plugins.thank you:)
i have detected the problem. The problem is jetpack. what do you recomend to me? i would like to hace activated this plugin
- PavanFebruary 23, 2014 |
I dont think Jetpack is the culprit. The openstrap theme is built over Bootstrap Framework and it requires related css and js to work properly. If you check your page source, I dont see bootstrap.min.js any where included. Please check if you have modified the code and removed the include by mistake.
no, i have not modified the code. where is suposed that have to be that file. I am going to try to deactivate other plugins with jetpack activated.
the problem is W3 Total Cache. Do you know another plugin similar to this? when i deactivate i see bootstrap in the code
Hello Pavan, thanks for your fantastic theme. I have a question. On two devices android ,( samsumg tab 2 and sony xperia) , I open my web ( on your theme) and don't display correctly. it's look without format ,as one list of elements. On the tablet, it's look with a lot of question's icon. this is in all screen.. Please any help?
- PavanFebruary 12, 2014 | Reply
The slider takes height of the images you use. If you want less height I suggest you use images with your preferred size. For best performances use all images of same sizes.

Dobratz's Vandals took it a step further in 1985-86, qualifying for the Women's NIT tournament and beating Fresno State, Notre Dame, the tournament's top seed, and Northwest Louisiana to claim the title. The Vandals never compiled a losing record while Dobratz was coach, going 142-39 in her six years. The Idaho women broke 20 team and 33 of 37 individual school records during her time with the team. Of those original totals, 18 team and 12 individual records still stand today.

~ what I'm working on ~
Hidey ho everyone! Here are a few projects that I'm working on at the moment.
The 1st one is a cover for this glass pitcher. I haven't used this pitcher for drinks in I don't know how long, so I decided to crochet a cover for it and put it in my craft room. I don't know what I'll put in it, but I'm sure I'll come up with something.
This 2nd project started out as a scrappy granny rectangle, but I didn't like it so I changed it to small, 3 round closed grannies. They will be a blanket when assembled. I am using all my little scraps of yarn that I save when other projects are completed.
The 3rd (and last) project is a half-granny shawl. I am using a mill ends bag of yarn that I bought at AC Moore. It is a thin size 4 soft white yarn with little spots of pink and yellow. I have no idea what brand it might be.
Well - that's it for now. I will be going to the campground again this weekend to celebrate my nephew Michael's 16th birthday. I will be taking along my scrappy squares to work on so I'm sure it will be a great weekend.
I wish you all a great weekend too! :)

Damn kids, with their iPhones and whatnot, always carrying them around. For a teen in California, though, it – and a roll bar –- saved his life.
Thomas Dwelley was out for a drive in his '95 Mustang Convertible, enjoying a twisty bit of road above Santa Barbara one night before his high school's football game. He wasn't drinking or texting, just having fun driving. That's when he drove off a 200-foot cliff, with that impact at the bottom crushing his Mustang severely. Amazingly, he survived.
But it took rescue crews almost an entire day to get to Thomas, according to a story by a local website. And were it not for the tracking device in his iPhone, his dad could have never located where the accident occurred.
According to the story, Thomas' parents couldn't get to him by phone and his father finally called AT&T to locate his iPhone. His dad drove to the somewhat remote place and saw skid marks, looked over the edge of the road and saw his son's car down below.
The Mustang was incredibly mangled after the crash, and Thomas had to have brain surgery but is otherwise OK. Crews said the rollbar probably prevented the outcome from being much worse. And now, Thomas told his high school friends that "Cars need to be taken seriously." Um, yeah.
Thomas' experience is being used as an example for all teen drivers and a reminder to stay safe. And he said his next car is going to be a Toyota. I only hope by Toyota he meant Scion FR-S, because that has a lot of air bags. And handles.
What car would you least want to take off a cliff?

Is Stephen F. Austin this season's Florida Gulf Coast?
NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Its laidback leading scorer has long hair, wears tie-dyed shirts and is called Sunshine. Its point-power forward helps videotape a nonsensical shooting routine before every road game that teammates plan to release to the public at season's end. And its best on-ball defender will pause if you ask about the team's rap song.
"We do have three different ones," says point guard Trey Pinkney.
BRACKET BRIEFING:Sleeper teams poised for deep NCAA tourney runs
Welcome to Stephen F. Austin State University, home of one of the nation's hottest and most colorful college basketball teams. After waiting 27 years for a Division I head coaching job, first-year coach Brad Underwood has constructed a team that is loose and free-spirited off the court and stoic and almost emotionless on it.
Almost every March a double-digit NCAA tournament seed – last year it was Florida Gulf Coast becoming the first 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16 – captivates the college basketball world with its play and personality. Few potential sleeper teams will have a better chance to do so this month than the Lumberjacks, a potentially dangerous No. 13 seed if they can win the Southland Conference tournament to claim the league's automatic berth.
And their players know it.
"The teams, they had better be aware that we are coming," says senior Desmond Haymon, the best team leader Underwood has ever coached. "We're coming. I don't want to sound cocky. I want to be confident. I don't think anyone can beat us when we play our basketball."
The Lumberjacks (27-2) have not lost since Nov. 23. Five players average at least 9.9 points. The Lumberjacks rank second nationally, behind only VCU, in turnover percentage. And they have caused havoc – not with a full-court press – but with what Underwood calls an aggressive, "crawl-in-your-shirt" half-court defense that extends beyond the three-point line.
Underwood spent seven years as a head coach at two junior colleges, experiences that he wouldn't trade for anything. He also worked on the staffs under Bob Huggins at Kansas State and Frank Martin at Kansas State and South Carolina. He learned how to be blunt yet caring.
"He has a good feel for when to push those buttons," Lumberjacks assistant Mike Boynton Jr. says. "He is as good as I've been around in terms of having a feel for his team and knowing when to get on them, when to embrace them."
BRACKETOLOGY:Projecting the field of 68
And through the grind of a long season, Underwood understands the value in allowing players to be themselves, in fostering camaraderie by illuminating their personalities. And everything points to a larger goal this month.
"To say, I thought we would be (27-2), no, I didn't," Underwood says. "But I tell our team this every day, 'You've got to dream big.' That's something I want them to do. It's something I have done my entire life."
Nearly three decades ago, a dinner of fried rice with his newlywed Susan was one of Underwood's highlights of the week.
Shortly after getting married, Underwood, a 1986 Kansas State graduate, and his wife moved from Kansas to Abilene, Texas, where he worked as a graduate assistant for the Hardin-Simmons University men's basketball team.
They moved into a one-bedroom apartment so small that the microwave was in the living room. The rent: $290 a month. Underwood's monthly stipend: $300. He worried about being able to put enough gas in his high-mileage Buick Regal.
The local mall, where Susan worked, had a Chinese restaurant, where they treated themselves to a luxury: fried rice. But only once a week.
"It was literally all we could afford," Underwood says. "That fried rice was a pretty big deal. We were skimming the Sunday paper for coupons and everything else … When you are thankful to go on the road (for work) because you know gas is taken care of, food is taken care of, that was awesome."
At his first full-time job, an assistant at Dodge City Community College in Kansas, he made $15,000. The next year he became the head coach and thought he fell into a money pit, earning $25,000.
He'd be up at 3 a.m. compiling scouting reports for games played on back-to-back days. At the same time, the team's laundry would be whirring in the background. Susan was the academic coordinator helping with study tables.
"Those were the days that make you," Underwood says.
Underwood's career later took him to Western Illinois, where he spent a decade as an assistant. He made $30,000 when he arrived and almost $50,000 when he left. It was there, with a young family to care for, that he started questioning his career path and where it would lead.
But it ultimately led to six seasons at Kansas State, to South Carolina, where he was associate head coach last season under Martin and now to this quaint Texas town located about three hours southeast of Dallas.
"You remember the journey, which makes it worthwhile," Underwood says. "I never forget that. I wake up every day very, very thankful that I have one of 350 jobs … I guess I kind of came up the hard way."
Before he interviewed at Stephen F. Austin, Underwood already appreciated the program's winning tradition. The Lumberjacks, who made their only NCAA tournament appearance in 2009, had won more than 20 games five of the last six years of the Danny Kaspar era.
Underwood toured campus on foot one Saturday with athletic director Robert Hill during his interview and was wowed. There were no weeds in the flowerbeds. All the signs were painted. The ground was devoid of trash.
"Saturday morning?" Underwood says. "You don't know what you're going to see on a college campus on a Saturday morning. I said, 'Wow, this place has a lot of pride.' It is a special place."
Underwood viewed it as a sleeping giant.
He inherited a team that went 27-5 but lost its three best players, including the league's player of the year, senior Taylor Smith. Only two starters returned, and they were role players last season.
Haymon says Underwood doesn't have a lot of rules, but one is that players have to communicate with him. And even in late February, when the normal rigors of the regular season typically diminish some enthusiasm, players routinely visit the men's basketball office to talk with coaches.
"These kids need to exude their personalities, and I encourage that," Underwood says. "I don't like being around duds. I like being around guys who like to have fun, like to enjoy the process. And yet understand when we step on the court, there is a difference."
In one sequence against Northwestern State, leading scorer Jacob Parker threw up an alley-oop pass to Thomas Walkup, who dunked the ball. Afterward, they simply sprinted back down court. No chest bumping or histrionics.
"We are not that team," Underwood says.
Kyle Rogers, the school's assistant director of media relations, applauds the job Kaspar did at Stephen F. Austin. But he says last year's team "played under Danny Kaspar. These players play for Brad Underwood."
One play. They hear about it every week, almost every day.
"To this day," Underwood says, "the game still haunts me."
On Nov. 15, the Lumberjacks played at Texas, an early-season litmus test for the Southland team and its new coach. After trailing 11-0, the Lumberjacks rallied and the outcome was still undecided in the final minutes. That's when there was a loose ball, and Texas' Connor Lammert scooped it up and scored, breaking a 58-58 tie.
It was a hustle play, and the Lumberjack didn't hustle.
"We all bent from the hips," Parker says.
Inside the locker room after the 10-point loss to Texas, Underwood was upset about the loss but deep inside he knew, at that moment, that his team could play with elite competition. But he intentionally sent a direct message to his team that he was furious and that losing was not tolerated.
"I didn't want them to know that I knew we were going to be okay, not at that moment," Underwood says. "I wanted them upset we lost the game. I felt great. All a matter of what I was going to let them accept. Losing was not an option."
The next day, he showed the team tape of the game – and the play – and infused them with confidence, lifting their spirits.
"When he knows that the guys think he's going to kick and scream, he doesn't," Boynton Jr. said. "And sometimes when they are feeling too good about themselves, he will ramp it up some to make them understand we really have not done anything."
After waiting 27 years for this opportunity, Underwood has had a deft touch with this team, one that is thoroughly enjoying the ride into March.
In the locker room after each game, it starts with a beat. Freshman Reed Westbrook rhythmically bangs his knuckles on the locker. Freshman Ben Brown-White starts clapping. And Trey Pinkney, the ringleader, jumps in and bursts out lyrics about his basketball journey.
Moments later, players bounce and dance without socks. It continues until players run out of lyrics.
"You can say anything you want and it won't sound stupid," Pinkney says. "You can be Dr. Seuss if you want."
Also in the locker room are assistants and Underwood, whose team's on-court performance is rivaled only by its personalities. As the beat goes on, coaches sit and smile and laugh.
"Coaches don't dance," Pinkney says. "Hopefully we'll give them a little something to dance about later on."

text: FlorisH 0 Posted February 23, 2012 There are clearly people playing Dust Tactics in the UK so it should be possible to organise a tournament.I understand that for many travel time and cost come into play when deciding if they will attend a tournament so for this reason I'm starting this topic.All I want to find out at the moment is roughly where you are in the UK (just town/city name) and how far you are willing to travel for a Dust tournament.If you are part of a group and the other players will be happy to travel with you then include that info. By posting in this topic you in no way commit yourself to playing in the tournament. Once I have a bit of an idea about what city is best for most I'll look into sourcing a location and will post as much details as possible so the tournament becomes an event people are willing and capable of attending. For now all I need is your location (town/city) and maximum distance you are willing to travel (in miles).

Okay, okay so I lied about saying I wasn't going to be submitting any more chibi Pokémon characters. I just had to make a lesson on "how to draw chibi Latias", step by step because it is the female version of Latios. Both Latias and Latios are Pokémon that resembles two creatures, birds and dragons. I thought it would be nice to give you guys the opportunity to draw the pair because after all they are both male and female. I like Latias because she has a brighter color with her red tones. Even though they are the same Pokémon species, Latias is a bit smaller then her male counterpart. Anyways, this is going to be a lesson that is just as easy as drawing chibi Latios. Approach the tutorial the very same way you did with Latios, and when you're done you can add the two together to make them a pair. I do hope you enjoy this submission even though no one has asked for it as of yet. I'm confident that someone would have made the request; I just made the lesson beforehand. That's it, one more tutorial to go. Adios people, and good day!

text: I would like to introduce my project which I have started at about two years ago. My aim was to produce rack in which can be mounted tool box. After many experiments and tests, here is the result: The tool box is with 7 litter capacity. Besides the convenience to have the tools always at hand, without the need to put external suitcases. There is also another advantage you have bigger luggage capacity with smaller dimensions of the motor with mounted panniers. For R1150GS the width of the motor with mounted panniers is as follows: 2 suitcases x 35 litters + 7 litters toolbox 90 cm. 2 suitcases x 40 litters + 7 litters toolbox 96 cm. 2 suitcases x 45 litters + 7 litters toolbox 102 cm. Regarding the panniers: They are made of 2 mm aluminium sheets, welded and powder painted. The method we use to attach the bottom of the pannier to the body makes the bottom edge 4 mm thick. The pannier is mount to the rack in 4 points, which helps more evenly distribution of the luggage load, and hence greater endurance of the panniers. The lid is attached with two hinges and two toggle latches with a tensile strength of 400 kg. Suitcases are dust and water impermeable. The stand for the upper-case is made so that it can easily be used for Luggage rack. We are currently developing a system for R1200GS.
