Savvy businesses know that digital is the new normal—and with it—reaching consumers means developing and maintaining an omnichannel presence. With online stores and traditional providers vying for customers' attention and loyalty, the stakes are higher than ever.
With customers in control and market forces out of their control, businesses need strong multichannel marketing strategies. Yet all too many are falling behind in delivering to their customers unique, personalized experiences across offline, online and mobile channels—experiences that create preference, and keep customers coming back. There are tremendous opportunities for organizations willing to do what it takes—from building new strategies and selecting the right enabling technologies to remaking the marketing function. For many companies, their very survival depends on making such changes.

ATHENS, Ga. (September 9, 2006) - The ETSU men's tennis team advanced five of its nine players to the second round of the Southern Intercollegiate Championships Friday at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Action continues Saturday with the second and third rounds of singles play and the second round of doubles play.
In Division I singles, senior Felix Insaurralde (Asuncion, Paraguay) was defeated by No. 66 Ivan Bjelica of Mississippi State, 6-1, 6-1 and sophomore Enrique Olivares (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) was defeated by Kiril Dimitrov of Duke, 6-3, 6-3.
"We had a tough time in the top half today. Felix just ran into a train again Bjelica of Mississippi State, he is really great," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "Enrique showed a lot of potential today against a very good player from Duke. "
Junior Lisandro Picardo (Mar del Plata, Argentina) defeated George Gvelesiani of Georgia Tech in a hard fought match, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 and freshman Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Colombia) defeated Hank Grant of Samford, 6-1, 6-3 in Division II singles.
"Lisandro fell in his first set and really played tough and fought hard to come away with his win against a tough opponent from Georgia Tech. He carried on the tradition of an upperclassman earning the win," said Zaatini. "It's also great to have Daniel, being only a freshman, to come away with a win."
Also in Division II singles, junior Sebastian Serrano (Cartagena, Colombia) lost a hard fought match to Aaron Carpenter of Duke, 7-5, 7-6 (6). Newcomer Predrag Burmazovic (
Competing in Division III singles, senior Ricardo Rojas (
"In the third division we did excellent. Ricardo had a great win and it was good for our new guys to get some wins," Zaatini.
In doubles action, the BUcs advanced all four teams to the second round of action as Ahlgren/Olivares were granted a first round bye. Sandlant/Isaza defeated Sichel/Host of UNC-Charlotte, 8-5, while Burmazovic/Serrano defeated Mulligan/Dolberg of Florida, 8-6 and Insaurralde/Picardo defeated Weaver/Miletic of Samford, 8-6.

Latex Paint Chemistry Question10/24
I'm finishing a project with SW Pro Classic Acrylic Latex. I'm having to thin 2 parts paint with 1 part water(purified bottled water) to get it to spray out of hvlp gun with 1.4mm nozzle.
As you can see from the first picture the leftover paint in the quart cup turns brown after sitting for some time, but when re-stirred it goes back to its original color as seen in the gallon can.
Since the paint doesn't turn brown in the can, I'm assuming the addition of the water is causing this, but don't understand why and if it might possibly affect the color of the project with time.
Can anyone give me an explanation? Thanks.
I'm wondering if its just a pigment that's just floated. As long as stirring it up disperses it I'd say your OK.
Sure, that's probably it. I thought that, but it wasn't rising to the top in the can. Thinning it out must have allowed for the pigments to rise. Thanks for responding.
That's a lot of water. I thought they limited it to 10% thinning? I'd place a call to SW before you do much more.
in jeff jewitt's book he says for one quart of paint you add 3 oz. of water and 3 oz. of floetrol in a 1 qt. mixing cup and stir then add paint to the one qt. mark and stir.
Id agree that your trying to make the material fit your tip and you should be making the tip fit your material. Thats a lot of reducing. Likely a mistake.
I switched to a gun with 1.8mm tip and the paint flowed out better, but still needed approx. 33% reduction, 8oz water to 16oz paint in quart cup. I didn't have any floetrol on hand.
I didn't think this was an issue as I have seen quite a few post on these threads advocating reducing product up to 40% to get it to flow out of an hvlp setup. Of course this was also the reason for my original post as I wondered if the excessive thinning could negatively affect the performance of the paint in regards to color, adhesion, durability, etc., etc.
At 33% thinned the paint is still quite thick and not having issues with runs or sags, but having to coat more times than I'd like to build, obviously. Project looks good so far.
From my experience with them, the workers at my SW store aren't going to be able to tell me how much thinning is appropriate; they'll just tell me what I can already read on the can which says no reduction necessary and use an airless which I don't have(considering Kremlin Airmix for spraying latex in the future though.)
For those who have said this is too much water to add can you explain to me how this alters the paint's performance(other than making it less viscous), chemically speaking?
Ive always had to add a bit more water to a Latex coating than whats ( so called ) recommended. Didn't have an airless nor did I want to run it through a AAA since I don't apply much in the way of Latex.
Extra thinning might mean an extra coat but Ive never had an adhesion problem or a problem with durability.
I brushed an ICI Semi Gloss Latex on my own kitchen yearrrrrrs ago and its still as beautiful today as it was years ago when I first applied it. The sheen has held out and its easily cleaned up with soapy water. Latex is occasionally frowned upon as a finish but In happy with the end results.
I would recommend going to a 2.0 tip. You still probably won't get optimal results but they should be better. How big of a compressor do you have?
I currently have a 2hp compressor with 24gal tank and about 6cfm delivered at 40psi rated to run continuously. Using box store gravity1.4 and siphon1.8 guns. I am aware this is not an ideal set up for spraying(been a professional woodworker much longer than finisher), but has worked okay so far with thinning.
I've wanted to upgrade my set up for a while, but am going back and forth on whether I should stick with hvlp and upgrade my compressor/guns or should try airless, AAA, turbine, etc. I build custom cabinets and do interior woodwork mostly for homeowners. Typical finishes are oil or dye stain with lacquer, water or oil paint if I need to match built-ins to existing trim, and occasionally colored lacquer if I can find a store that will tint it to the color I'm trying to match.
Steven, I spray the SW proclassis latex paint probably on average 5 or 6 times each month, and I too have to over thin the paint. I also use a cup gun, and I usually have it set as a gravity fed gun. With 60 lbs pressure at my filters and a 1.8 tip, I thin a cup full with usually around 5 oz. of water. I tried the water and floetrol mix, but have never been able to tell a difference. Since floetrol is pretty thick too, I can use less thinner overall as the combination mix usually took around 8 oz.
Steven, I've read your post #7 a couple of times. How is 8 ounces of water to 16 ounces of paint a 33% reduction? Maybe I'm not understanding something? I'm not a chemist, can't tell you how the performance of the film finish will change with over reduction. I just trust that the chemists that did formulate it, know what they are talking about. I'll ask you the same question, how do you know it won't hurt? Sure it may still look like paint with over reduction, but the chemists are working to specific parameters for flexibility, resistance to abrasion while scrubbing, stain resistance, etc.....
The SW ProClassic Acrylic Latex enamel contains 31% solids by volume. 16 oz of paint mixed with 8 oz of water gives me a solution with 21% solids by volume if my math is correct. Correct me if my math is wrong, but that's approx. a 33% reduction in solids by volume. Actually the reason I said 33% was simply to convey that I was mixing up 24oz of material and 8oz of it was water(8/24=.33). Not really the point of my post anyway, and to answer your question, No, I don't know if reducing with that much water will hurt the performance of the paint, hence my initial post.
If so, I was hoping someone knowledgeable in the chemistry of acrylic paint in general could give me a solid answer and explain how mixing too much water with the paint could have a negative effect instead of just acting as a vehicle to move the coating from the gun to the product and evaporating. I'm sure the chemists at SW are competent and have formulated a great product straight from the can, but that still doesn't answer the question I asked.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who replied so far.
That's a whole lot of water your spraying. One thing I'd be concerned with is continual grain raise and not getting a good smooth final finish. My go to tip on my gravity gun for all my WB finish is a 2.2 and I don't use it for pigmented finishes unless it's a really small project (GF products). I couldn't imagine getting enough finish through 1.4 or 1.8 you'd be there all day. You could switch to a pressure pot with minimal thinning that could pump your product or even an airless with a smaller tip and no thinning.
We all start somewhere right? You sound pretty much the same as I was when I started. If you are looking for opinions I would tell you to first upgrade your compressor because you can never have too much air. Especially with you being a woodworker and the number of tools that can be used by a compressor.
You can then start with a pressure pot for spraying paints which you can get for a reasonable price and also some cup guns that I would recommend adding PPS cups with.
Down the road that would still allow you to add an AAA if you wish or to get a turbine or airless for onsite work.
I end up doing a lot of different finishes and over time have acquired 2 AAA units, a turbine, an airless and about a dozen or so cup guns for smaller runs of different colors, toners, glazes etc. The heart of everything is a 80 gallon 2 stage compressor that puts out about 30 CFM and that gives me everything I need.
Your situation may be different and another route may be better but without knowing more about your operation this is the way I would go.

Last year alone, it fed a little over 300,000 people throughout the city, or an estimated one million meals, as well as assisted with food stamp applications, Medicaid and immigration services.
The Kiwanis Club of Middle Village honored St. John's Bread and Life and 30-year member Joe Martino with a $1,000 check at the club's dinner and meeting at La Bella Cucina on Thursday, Nov. 21.
Anthony Butler, executive director of St. John's Bread and Life, was there with Martino to accept the check, and said it couldn't have come at a better time.
Following a recent $5 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Butler explained that the facility has seen a huge increase in daily patrons.
"A family of four lost on average about $45 in food money, and these are folks that are below the poverty level and making less than $22,000 per year," Butler said.
While there are many in need of assistance, Martino, 85, said the facility has luckily come a long way since he first began volunteering 30 years ago.
"The facility was small and they had soup almost every day," Martino recalled. "We got nothing from nobody back then. We had to go out to different corporations for donations."
Martino, a resident of Middle Village, added that the Robin Hood Foundation, Food Bank and City Harvest were their biggest donors when he first came on board.
Since retiring from the funeral business, Martino is now a full-time volunteer.
Kiwanis Club president Al Gentile said he was blown away by the size of the group's facility and efficiency of its staff, and said he was more than happy to help donate to the cause.
"This is how they secure most of the operating funds that they have," Gentile said. "They get very little from the state and city, so they rely on mostly donations."
New York District Kiwanis membership chair J.P. DiTroia said that the club is always looking for additional members to help raise funds for the community and charities like St. John's Bread and Life.
"We are extremely excited that our dinner was so successful and that we were able to give back to the community," DiTroia said. "There is a tremendous payback in the smiles we get from children and from families and the senior citizens that we help."

FERNDALE, MICHIGAN -- I bought a 2012 Focus SE in August 2012. Lousy mileage, poor transmission. We traded in a 2008 Civic w/ 80,000 miles. Focus quality doesn't even come close to the Civic. The mileage with the focus is 26/28 at best and is driven very conservatively on freeways and mileage really stinks. I have an 2002 Intrepid that gets as good or better mileage. Very sorry we got rid of the Civic.
After first of the year we will be trading in the Focus on a Dodge Dart. Ford has mass produced the Focus to be a "throw-away" vehicle. Trade-in for this 2012 Focus is 9k to 11k with only 7,600 miles on it. How very pathetic, Ford, shame on you. Shades of the Escort and Pinto have returned in the Focus!!! Never another Ford product, EVER! Wish we could start a product reimbursement claim from Focus owners who are as dissatisfied as we are.
Bought 2012 Ford Focus (LS) 5 door hatchback in Ohio on June 2, 2011. Steering seems to stiffen up after driving several miles. Is more likely to do so on straight road. Highway trips are a real chore. Takes much pressure to turn wheel as if it is stuck or binding. When it does move, results are (over correction), and back we go the other way. Have had it back to seller twice (100 mi. away), and to local dealer twice. Problem is intermittent, and HAS NOT SHOWN UP WHEN AT DEALERSHIP. Would appreciate feedback, or suggestions as how to deal with problem. Anyone else with this problem? Today's date = 7/5/2011.
TEMPERANCE, MICHIGAN -- I do not know where to start. I have never owned a car that eats tires and rattles knocks like this car does. I will never own another Ford. I don't know how they get all the press about their cars having any quality. This one is a bucket of bolts that is rattling apart. I traded a Dodge Ram in on this and with the exception of gas mileage was a step down to say the least. This car is a nightmare. Can someone from Ford please comment on this poorly designed car?
I bought a 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback in Minnesota June 29, 2011... Continued: FINALLY!! My car is fixed. After having the service manager ride with me (30 miles one way down the freeway and back) so that we both knew exactly what I was trying to describe about the car's steering; definitely was a problem and needed fixing. It took 3 weeks to get the part (a new rack for the steering), which was no fault of the dealer for the delay. Now my new Ford Focus drives like a dream, as every new car should.
GRAND JCT, COLORADO -- Last week we took our 2003 Ford Focus down to Ford. It was down there for 2 days and they couldn't find what was wrong with it. Then they did and they said it was probably the transmission. They will not fix it at all and it's still under factory warranty. Why buy an extended warranty when the first warranty doesn't ever going to exist. If it's still under warranty, why wouldn't they fix it? Don't buy a Ford!!!!!!!!!! Let them go out of business too. Faulty Fords.....
Here's another problem I've come across in my Focus: When I put the key in ignition, it does not turn at all. Last night I'd spent ~1 hour trying to resolve this, but all in vain. I've come across hundreds of complaints from several people experiencing the same problem with their Focus. Today, when I'd called the Ford service dept., they acted as if they do not know anything about this problem. But that they'd have to drill & replace the ignition cylinder (cost $300+); and because it's a delicate operation, if some other part gets damaged I'd end up paying much more.
Given that it's a widespread problem, I'm surprised that Ford has not issued a recall for this... Other than this, I've had numerous problems with this vehicle, e.g., engine stall problem, scratching noise when I press on the gas paddle. There have been several recalls in the last 2 years. This is my first Ford vehicle, and hopefully it'd be the last one.
REDDING, CALIFORNIA -- I jumped into my 2003 Ford Focus this morning to go to work and lo and behold! The key wouldn't turn. I tried all the tricks and ended up with having my car towed to FORD and $400 later it's fixed. At least it was the same day, but the guy had the nerve to tell me "Yep. We get at least two of those a month." Why isn't Ford fixing a known problem?

Installing Arch Linux inside a VM (e.g. in VMware running on Windows or using VMware Fusion on Mac OS X) works without trouble.
You may also be interested in installing VMware in Arch.
- 1 VMware Tools
- 2 Installing X
- 3 Enable Unity
- 4 Shared Folders with the Host
- 5 Final touch
- 6 Paravirtualization
- 7 Troubleshooting
VMware Tools
The VMware Tools improve networking capability, cut and paste between the host and the guest under X, or access of the directories on host from the guest (called shared folders by VMware). They also provide a set of tools to access advanced options of the Virtual Machine, including shrinking and freeing unnecessary space in the virtual hard drives
Install the open-vm-tools package from community
pacman -S open-vm-tools
and start VMware tools with:
/etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start
To start them automatically at boot, add the daemon to the DAEMONS array in rc.conf.
DAEMONS=( ... open-vm-tools ... )
To start the vmware toolbox (allows you to configure time synchronization, connect or disconnect devices, shrink the hard disk freeing unnecessary space, etc), run the following command (you may have to run as root to get full functionality)
Installing X
Beyond installing Xorg (see main article Xorg), the packages needed in order to be able to use X properly can be installed with
# pacman -S xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-video-vmware
and the fallback X drivers
# pacman -S xf86-video-vesa
Modern versions of Xorg are automatically configured. If you are using a manual configuration, set the mouse driver to "vmmouse".
VMware-user wrapper
In order for cut/paste and drag/drop to work between VM and host, you need to start the vmware-user wrapper. First make sure it was installed as a suid binary. type the following:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper
You should see something like this:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 5768 Aug 20 10:13 /usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper
If you do not see an s bit in the fourth position, you should enable it by running the following command as root:
# chmod 4755 /usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper
Once you make sure vmware-user-suid-wrapper is set as a suid binary, you should run it on login by either adding the line
to Template:Filename or Template:Filename for startx, or by adding the following file Template:Filename
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=VMWare User Agent Exec=vmware-user-suid-wrapper Icon=system-run Comment=Enable Unity, DnD, etc.
for e.g. gdm. Note as well that you need to install gtkmm and libnotify for vmware-user to run.
Note: If after executing vmware-user-suid-wrapper you get the following error:
vmware-user: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
You need to install gtkmm
# pacman -S gtkmm
Enable Unity
Unity is installed by default, but needs a bit of work to get it running. First,make sure that open-vm-tools is installed and loaded on startup. If needed, add open-vm-tools to the DAEMONS list.
Next, add vmware-user-suid-wrapper to autostart either by using your desktop environment's autostart or create a file like Template:Filename with following contents:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=VMWare User Agent Exec=vmware-user-suid-wrapper Icon=system-run Comment=Enable Unity, DnD, etc.
Log out and restart. Unity will work. Unfortunately at the moment, menus may not display properly, so launch a terminal, switch to Unity and use the terminal to launch whatever you want. If you get an error like
error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
install gtkmm
pacman -S gtkmm
Create a new Shared Folder by selecting VM -> Settings... from the VMware Workstation menu. Select the Options tab and then Shared Folder. Check the Always enabled option and create a new share. For Windows XP you can create a share with the Name C and the Host Path Template:Filename.
Then add the following line to your Template:Filename file (changing uid/gid as needed):
.host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults,user,ttl=5,uid=root,gid=root,fmask=0133,dmask=0022 0 0
Make the mount directory and mount the Shared Folders:
mkdir /mnt/hgfs mount /mnt/hgfs
All of your shared folders will now be visible by name under Template:Filename
/mnt/hgfs/<Shared Folder Name>
For the Windows XP C share example:
ls /mnt/hgfs/C ... all your Windows files under C:\ ...
Final touch
A more suitable cron
The arch guest is most likely neither running the whole time nor rebooted often. The default crond is therefore inappropriate. Change crond for incron
# pacman -S incron
and edit the system crontab, i.e.
# incrontab -e
so that it looks like
!mail(no) @ 1h /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.hourly @ 1d /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.daily @ 1w /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.weekly @ 1m /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.monthly
Prune mlocate DB
It is also useless to add the shared directories to the locate DB. Add the shared directories to PRUNEPATHS in Template:Filename
Paravirtualization (PV) is a virtualization feature\technique that allows some of the processing, which in an ideal virtualized environment happens inside the virtualization to be done outside of the virtualized context. This will, in most cases, greatly improve the base line performance of a virtual machine. Although in some cases, depending on many variables, it will not.
With the to-date distributions of Arch, PV works out of the box.
On newer x86 and x86-64 CPU models (Both AMD and Intel) PV is implemented as a hardware feature and no additional configuration is required. For older CPU models, You must enable the deprecated VMI protocol that introduces modifications to the guest kernel that makes it aware of the fact that it is virtualized. (Microsoft refers to this as an Enlightened Guest OS)
VMI Retired
VMWare PV was once implemented as the VMI (Virtual Machine Interface) standard.
In 2009, VMware announced they would stop supporting VMI in 2011. The Linux kernel should remove the VMI code around version 2.6.37. VMI still remains useful since it allows for PV on older CPUs and Arch Linux is well built for a Linux VM Guest on hosts with low resources. VMI offers a tremendous impact on the VM performance under these circumstances.
In updated vmware products (Workstation 7+ and ESX 4+) VMI is retired. The functionality that was implemented in VMI and not covered by the improvements in modern CPUs is now implemented by the newer VMCI standard. Again, on to-date Arch Linux and open-vm-tools installations, VMCI works OOB and should not pose any problems. If you do encounter issues then the Vmware Community forums will offer all the aid you need.
On Vmware Workstation products VMCI is enabled by default. On Vmware ESX products VMCI is disabled by default on the basis that it COULD pose a security risk. You can enable or disable VMCI through the VM settings screen. VMCI provides extra features, as well as a generic platform, for the area of Guest-To-Host communication.
VMI Installation
You must install the open-vm-tools before enabling VMI.
To enable VMI click on "Settings..." from the VM menu. Select the Processors device and enable 'VMWare kernel paravirtualization'
Once Arch is up and running you can check if you have VMI enabled or not by running the following command:
$ dmesg | grep vmi
If VMI is enabled you should see an output such as:
Booting paravirtualized kernel on vmi [deprecated] vmi: registering clock event vmi-timer. mult=9202214 shift=22 vmi: registering clock event vmi-timer. mult=9202214 shift=22 vmi: registering clock source khz=2193979 Switching to clocksource vmi-timer
VMCI Installation
To verify that VMCI is up and running, run the following command:
$ dmesg | grep vmci
If VMCI is enabled you should see an output such as:
Probing for vmci/PCI. vmci 0000:00:07.7: PCI INT A -> GSI (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Found vmci/PCI at 0x1080, irq 16. Registered vmci device.
If there is a problem with networking, it is possible that the module pcnet32 steals the network interface from vmware, disabling it works,
MODULES=(!pcnet32 ...)
If you have no keyboard or mouse in X, you might try removing the line from Template:Filename in the "ServerFlags" Section

Mouse lags and "flickers" after upgrade
After upgrading some packages (includein Xorg) my mouse was slow and unresponsive within vmware. The reason was that the vmmouse driver was not loaded anymore.
To solve the issue I had to add
Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" EndSection
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "vmmouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection
to my Template:Filename (actually I created Template:Filename and Template:Filename containing the configurations).

7th Road project moving ahead
PLYMOUTH - The project to extend 7th Road in Marshall County continues.
In current plans 7th Road will become the major interchange for the city of Plymouth with the new U.S. 31 currently under construction.
That plan includes the linking of 7th Road eventually with Pine Road on the city's west side to create a single connection between new U.S. 31 and U.S. 30 just north of Plymouth.
City Attorney Jim Clevenger reported to the Marshall County Commissioners that the purchase of parcels of land for the purpose of the construction continues with four parcels now secure. Deeds for the parcels have been secured with County Auditor Penny Lukenbill processing the claims for payment on each.
Clevenger told the Commissioners that several other parcels needed for the construction of the road have been a little more troublesome. He has filed condemnation suits in those cases including a suit against the owners of two bill boards that are also in the path of the proposed construction.
(Additional details on the land acquisitions and project are included in the print edition of the May 7 Pilot News.)

birbigs needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 128 designs submitted by 53 freelance designers.
I'm Joe Birbiglia. I work with my brother, comedian Mike Birbiglia. He's a regular on Comedy Central, The Bob & Tom Show, and recently began contributing to "This American Life." This fall he's going on a 22-city tour with Comedy Central, called the "I'm in the Future Also" tour. We have an online merchandise store at http://www.birbigshirts.com, so you can see some of our past work. You can also check out some of Mike's reel and design sensibility at birbigs.com.

"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25: 35-36, 40 NIV)
For most of my "growing up" years, my father was the pastor of a church. Most of his churches were rather small congregations that he served part-time while working at a "day job."
His only "full-time" church was in south Texas, where we lived when I was about six. Now, being a PK (Preacher's Kid), I was accustomed to other people inviting our family to eat with them. Likewise, we would have other families eat with us at the parsonage as well.
I looked forward to those times. For one thing, there were usually other children to play with. But the best reason for having folks over for dinner was my mother would usually fix something special to eat.
That is what I expected one evening when a family came to our door. Being rather young, I didn't pay too much attention to the circumstances of their arrival. I just thought they were some new church folks that my parents had invited to dinner. And they had a couple of kids. I was really looking forward to playing with them.
However, before I realized what was going on, I noticed that the family had been herded out of the house and into my father's office that was off of the garage. "Curious," I thought.
My mother and my older sister busied themselves in the kitchen making some dish I had never seen before. It had some kind of reddish looking meat mixed in with diced potatoes and onions. I asked them what it was, and they told me it was corned beef hash. Never heard of it. But I was game to try it. In fact, I was looking forward to it. "Must be some really special dish," I thought.
However, when my mother and sister were finished cooking the food, they dished it up and took it out to the garage. It was not until later in the evening that our family sat down to our own meal. I don't remember what we had, but it wasn't corned beef hash.
"How come we are not eating that hash stuff?" I asked.
My mother replied, "Oh, that is for 'those people,'" as she nodded her head toward the garage.
"How come we aren't eating with them? I wondered.
"We don't eat with folks like that," she responded.
"Why not?" I wanted to know.
My mother simply said, "Hush now. Don't ask any more questions."
It wasn't until years later that I realized that this family had come to our house asking for food because they were hungry and in need. They had come to us because we lived at "the preacher's house."
After all, we church folks are supposed to feed the hungry, right? Well, we did that. We did indeed. However … we didn't treat them very well. We treated them as if they had some kind of disease or something.
We treated them like there was something wrong with them. But there really wasn't. They were just hungry.
Jesus made it clear that, as Christians, we are to feed the hungry and to help care for those in need. But how are we to do this? With what kind of attitude?
Certainly my parents were not right to feed that family with the kind of attitude they had for them. They treated them out of an attitude of duty and obligation along with an attitude of disgust and disdain for them. It took me years to be able to shake myself of those same kinds of attitudes.
Jesus not only commanded us to feed the hungry, he also commanded us to do all that we do with an attitude of love. Jesus only told us eight (8) times that we are to love him or to love God. On the other hand, he told us a total of eighteen (18) times that we are to love others. Of those eighteen times, he told us three times "love your neighbor as yourself," and he also told us three times "love your enemies."
However, Jesus went even further than that. He said, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Then he went on to add, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25: 35-36, 40 NIV)
I regret that our family treated Jesus like we did that day.

Mount Hood
Mount Hood (height 11,235 feet) is the highest mountain in the state of Oregon and a major outdoor recreation site in the Pacific Northwest. Located about 50 miles (80 km) east-southeast of Portland, the mountain is visible from the city on clear days and usually forms the backdrop for the Portland skyline in postcards and photographs of the city.

Mt. Hood Jazz Festival
Every summer the greater Portland area hosts the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival, a series of concerts and events around Portland and Gresham. In August of 2006 the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary. The schedule is not yet available and tickets will go on sale in April of 2006.
There are many things to do on this mountain including downhill skiing and snowboarding, hiking, and cross country skiing.
For a list of places to eat, visit the Mt. Hood Area Chamber of Commerce website. There is also some more detailed information on the Mt. Hood Information website.
Stay safe
Always check the local weather before heading up to the mountain. It is not uncommon for chains or snow tires to be advised or required. While there are snow plows as well as other precautions, it never hurts to be on the safe side. If you are planning a hike or skiing adventure into areas less travelled it is advised to take a Personal Location Transponder. If you should become lost, injured, or trapped this device will help emergency crews to locate you quickly via a GPS signal. The technology can now locate you to within 10 feet of your actual placement. A great accessory for snow enthusiaists in avalanche zones.

Katie is torn a newly formed alliance with Caryn and Jenn (neither of whom have anything to lose in going against Tom and Ian here), and her friendship with Ian. For this to work, Ian must be vulnerable at Tribal Council, so we'll say Tom wins IC.
Going into Tribal Council, who thinks they holds the power and is torn between an alliance and a friendship? I still think the answer to the Teaser could be any of the above left , my original thought was Tom ..MW added Thinks could the answer be none of the above ? A red herring a trick question ? What do you all think ? we have time to play with this question .

'The Gangster Squad'
Director Ruben Fleischer has a hit ("Zombieland") and a miss ("30 Minutes or Less") under his belt, so his next one is a toss-up. On the plus side, it's a complete change of pace for the man known for comedy. In addition to all the period L.A. beauty, there's a raft of Oscar-caliber actors in this one, including Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. The film chronicles the LAPD's battles with the mafia in postwar Los Angeles.

Here's my wrap up for 10 days in Norway. Thanks to the few who have Norway info, not the most popular destination for eating I guess. As we all know, it's very expensive and after a while, if I saw entrees for <200NOK, I considered it a deal (rate was about 5.4 to a $1) and started ignoring my "bargain eats". Left our bags in the Bergen tourist office and wandered around, then as we headed to our guesthouse by the Aquarium, we got lunch at Café Opera (Engen 24, cafeopera.org) where I had a very tasty veggie omelet w/ salad and oddly, served on bread rather than on the side for 89. A. had a seafood salad sandwich of sorts for about the same, cute place, order at the counter and it's delivered to you. That nite we rushed to a show at the Garage and the only food was a cheap rullekebab (49 NOK) down the street. Fri. morning we picked up a snack at the café in the train station and headed off on the fjords trip. Nice lunch in Flåm at Furojroa which is associated with a brewery so A enjoyed his beer (he's a big beer drinker). I had a tasty (yet not hot enough) cauliflower soup and piece of cake, A had Norwegian meatballs, from a cafeteria type place, fairly good deal. That evening we went to a cool club, Hulen, for a drink but the weather turned on us. When we got back to town, we ended up at Wesslestuen which I'd asked about and had on my list. The restaurant was fairly dead at 10:30 but we had nice service and split the reindeer dinner served w/ a potato cake and Brussels sprouts w/ bacon, it was very tasty. It was 299NOK but they split our plates in advance so you'd never know this wasn't a normal sized dinner. That way, you think you paid 150 each and feel like you got a deal (see pic). Nightcap at Inside Rock around the corner.
On Sat. we rode up the funicular and walked down, checked out some live music by the fountain, wandered around downtown, got a fish cake snack for 10NOK at the mkt but can someone explain those to me (see pic)? It was the weirdest consistency and I threw half of it away. What's in those anyway? We then had a late lunch at Hot Wok (Vestre Torggaten 1) which had been recommended by a band friend and had good reviews. Most entrees are <99 and it was fine but the spicy beef had absolutely no spice and the fried rice was just okay. Good for a quick meal and they serve water with LOTS of ice which was nice. We were told that Biblioteket (in the meat market bldg) made the best cocktails so had a civilized cocktail there and a fun time talking to Julian who knew his stuff. Then more random bars and another rullerkebab later that nite. Our last day we rode out to see the Fantoft Stave church (where I had an excellent donut from the market by the train station), A had some tasty crab legs from the fish market then we had our nice nite out w/ another drink at Biblioteket and the Sun. 3 course 295NOK special at Smauet Mat & Vinhus (Vaskereivsmauet 1, smauet.no/) where they served redfish in an excellent sauce, pork belly and a great chocolate dessert. Plus a very good and fun server. We ended up at Altona Vinbar (Strandgaten 81) on the way back to our place, the oldest bar in town I guess.
Flew up to Tromsø (surprisingly good croissant in the airport), good stay at the Viking Hotel, walked around town and got a beer at Ølhallen (Storgata 4, olhallen.no,) part of the Mack brewery. We unfortunately just missed a tour and when we went the next day to take one, they wouldn't give it to just the two of us, lame. A drizzly nite led us to dinner at Pasta Fabriken (Sjøgata 17a, pastafabrikken.no), a very large and pleasant space where you surprisingly order at the counter and pick up your food (you'd never think it was this style restaurant). They had some meals for children that anyone could order so we got that size pasta carbonara which was very good and split a regular sized pizza w/ prosciutto, mushrooms and onions which was fair. Decent prices. Stumbled upon the Mon. nite beer special at Driv down the street. The next day we saw the Arctic Church, botanical gardens, Polar Museum and Perspektivet Museum. A got a cheeseburger at Flyt (Sjøgata 29, cafeaflyt.no) but thankfully I wasn't wooed into getting one. No offense Europeans, but I've put a moratorium on having burgers in other countries since 1996 (except Argentina) and I almost broke down. But after a bite of that burger, it's still in effect. It looked great, nice roll, fresh tomato and lettuce but the meat… Just not that good (let me know when you come to Boston and we'll do a burger tour). On the other hand, their side of potatoes was excellent and I almost went back to get those for dinner. Instead we hit Snappes kebab place on the main drag which was fine (and relatively pleasant space) then ended at the very cool Blå Rock and Bastard Bar.
Got to Oslo on a Wed., Thon Hotel Munch was in a good location. Walked around and A got food at some slow kebab place by the Rathus, he then decided enough with the kebabs. Dinner was at Ya Ya's Thai Beach Café (Øvre Vollgate 13, yayas.no), pretty fresh and tasty, okay priced, and one waiter was super nice. Their schtick is the jungle atmosphere and the occasional "monsoon" that happens during dinner. Stopped at the bars Rock In around the corner and Unholy (St. Olavs gt. 23). Thurs. I wandered around town, knew the Munch was closed but got a 35 NOK cookie (yowzer) at the café then walked to Grünerløkka and enjoyed that area. Nice panini and salad (about 130) for lunch at Bugges (Leirfallsgate 6 @Markveien, bugges.net/) where lots of women and their babies were hanging out. That nite we wandered around Grønland and ended up at Olympen (Grønlandsleiret 15, olympen.no/) for a nice meal. Cool room, great beer selection, tasty fish dish and pork shank and sausage, entrees <199. Then a stop at Elm St. bar who also had good beers and music.
Fri. was a trip to the Holmenkollen ski jump but I didn't realize we needed to go further on the tram for the apple cake at Frognerseteren so we unfortunately missed that. Then the ferry to and from the Viking Museum and a relaxing strawberry capirinha at Lektern (Stranden 3) sitting in the bright sun (weather was good 3/4 of our trip). That nite we went to an outdoor show way out at the end of the 31 bus line then ended up at Arakataka (Mariboesgate 7, arakataka.no/). Even tho there were only 3 other tables there, they stuck us in the back corner. Had a nice meal tho w/ great bread, a starter of whale for 99 (kind of carpaccio like) and split another good fish entree with an interesting sauce. Went across the street to Tilt, a bar with tons of beer selections and games, and good music that nite (horrible music the next nite). Then we hit "Super Friday" at Unholy where every drink is 49NOK. This isn't everyone's cup of tea (loud rock/black metal, dark downstairs bar) but with the prices you guys pay, you might want to check out that Fri. deal.
Last day was a constant drizzle hitting the Vigeland park, flea markets, Vårt Daglige Brød on Schweigaardsgate 56 for an iced coffee (not quite like here but very good) which used to be the site of black metal craziness (see pic of the basement), the Resistance Museum and lunch at Sub Scene, a cute café (see pic) and all ages venue on Kirkegata where I got a good grilled ham, cheese and tomato for 25NOK!! That nite was my big travel agent dinner at Theatercafeen (Stortingsgaten 24/26, theatercafeen.no/), mostly cuz the Elk set menu wasn't really my faves. Didn't have reservations but we were seated in 5-10 min, had a fancy drink and split an awesome duck confit app. My entrecote was fine, rarer than I'd like. A's fish w/ crab was good and the espresso cheesecake was great. Fine service, fun brasserie style atmosphere but w/ entrees at 260-300, not sure it was worth the price. Beers at Deville where the music was good and the last stop at Tilt where the music was so much worse and the beer didn't live up to A's expectation.
So this is a lot of info for the next time someone travels to Norway. Best meal was that great Sun. deal at Smauet Mat & Vinhus in Bergen and a few other surprises here and there. Doners don't hold a candle to Berlin and burgers, well I told you my thoughts on that already. Croissants were surprisingly good overall tho. Can't believe I didn't get to the Kaffistova cafeteria in the Oslo est Western for reindeer cakes, next time.

The answer is already in the error message:
o Change your webserver configuration to use the `combined log format' type of logging.
o Change the awstats LogFormat parameter to whatever your webservers log format is.
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
I check log format 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and only 4 work for me and with this log format some kind of option is disable
I put my log format in here
what you think about my log format

Given the fact that asexuals do not have sex, I wonder if these groups have anything to do with the fundamentalist Christian groups that advocate abstinence as a form of birth control and as a way of not acting on "homosexual" desires????

Stephen I find that to be an offensive assertion. Most asexuals are very hurt by the religious rights notions of sexuality. Many of them are just as much effected as we are, they don't want to have a marriage, and to "be fruitful and multiply", some are aromantic, while some are romantic and want a family but not the sex aspect of the marriage. This conspiracy theory is no worse than what a lot of these christian groups say about the gay agenda.

Can I take that a step further and say that doesn't even make any sense? L. Stephen have you bothered to learn anything about asexuality outside of "they just don't want to have sex"? Not asexual myself but there's more to it than just that :/

L. Stephen:
Short Answer: No.
Long Answer: Really no, I'd have to look for a quote, but it was someone pointing out that if you were seeking a world of denial and silence, the last place to go is to an asexual meetup as there is almost constantly a display of openness and pushes for introspection. I've had unfortunate friends raised in fundamentalist christianity. My best friend, an ex-fundie, has a gay sister very deep in the closet that we're trying to help right now. The tactics used to insulate and destroy her are pretty much the opposite of an asexual meetup.
If you're running from the gay, the last place to go is asexuality and in fact I partially used my asexuality to get my best friend to open up about his Kinsey 1-ness. It opens the door that there are other lifestyles.
Furthermore, those who are religious asexuals have noticed that when they confront abstinence-pushing pastors about their asexuality, those pastors immediately do a 180 and start pushing the bible passages about being fruitful and multiplying and the need to marry and have children (these people are mostly women of course).
Abstinence education is not just about trying to deny the existence of sex, it is a deliberate attempt to eliminate sex education so more children get "trapped" in marriages before they are old enough to fully escape indoctrination and thus be continued soldiers for outdated and disproven conservative ideology. Asexuals are a direct affront to the whole mess because we can't be controlled by the usual methods of shaming people about natural desires for sex, we don't have them.
You noted oppression in an earlier thread. In the future, if oppression comes, it most certainly will be on the day that these fundie crusaders realize this possibility and threat to their means of control. Controlling sex and shame of sex is crucial to their monopolies of control, remove that shame, and they've got nothing but psycho rants because whose going to waste time listening to a crazy person when you could be having sex or reading a good book?
But yeah, seriously, no. Asexuality is being different. Fundies are all about enforcing conformity. Even the points where they play as embattled minorities (purity balls and other crap), they are still defending old conformities dying out in the last 30-40 years by intense social change. Asexuality is new, uncommon, and unknown. They're not going to embrace that, especially as they're currently working the heterosexuality is a choice, but totally the natural way to be angle.
- February 4, 2009 at 4:39 PM
Well we shouldn't dogpile him. I'm sure we've all had that moment of saying something stupid when just learning about a movement. I'm going to just treat this as a teaching moment.
Oh, also, advanced asexuality lesson: asexuality doesn't fully negate the possibility of sexual activity only sexual attraction. Also, virginity is not treated as a prize, few asexuals fetishize it like fundies do. In fact, I don't know of any who do as those who'd be inclined to value it mostly value its loss and few asexuals have intense motivations to build up that loss except by uncomfortable external pressure by society or partners.
Also, there are a number of homoromantic asexuals and trans asexuals who I'm sure would not be a likely fundie ally especially as the removal of sex from their relationships completely severs a favored line of attack for our fundie enemies. They pretty much rely these days on provoking the eww, sex reaction to build up hatred of gays. Happy "gays" who love each other but don't have "icky" sex (in the mind of stupids, not me), would blow their fucking minds as their "therapy" isn't about creating virginal gays but forcing conformity to a 1950s TV idea of heterosexuality that never existed outside the fevered racist imaginations of dying fundie psychotics.
Yeah, I don't like the movement. It's fucked up a good number of friends and friends' families. Even my SO, though her poison she's recovering from is catholicism (influenced by small town fundamentalism). I doubt I'd be the only one unwelcoming to an attempted fundie invasion of our organizations.

Subway, West 75th Street, Shawnee, KS 66214, USA
Symptoms: Diarrhea Fever Nausea Vomiting
Report Type: Food Poisoning
My husband had an Italian sandwich with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, black olives, jalapenos, and ghost peppers. 12 hours later when he woke up for work he began violently vomiting. He missed work, vomiting multiple times within the first few hours. His fever reached 102.6, and diarrhea began for the next few hours. At first we thought he may have picked up the Norovirus. However, knowing Norovirus is highly contagious, we were expecting myself to get sick. I have not gotten sick. That leads us to believe it was food poisoning from his Subway sandwich. Read More

Symptoms: Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting
Report Type: Food Poisoning
I had lunch with two friends at the Subway in Powell, OH on Thursday, January 17th. I ordered the 6" Chicken Bacon Ranch Melt sub on wheat bread and added lettuce, pepper jack cheese, green peppers and banana peppers along with the ranch sauce. My one friend also had a chicken sub, but a different one. I think she also added lettuce, pepper jack cheese and banana peppers, among a few other toppings. Her husband ordered an Italian sub and did not get sick. On Friday evening around 8:00 PM, I started to feel queasy. Then around 11PM, about 35 hours after eating my sub, the vomiting and had diarrhea started and lasted throughout the night. I was able to keep liquids down this morning but am very tired, still with cramping and diarrhea. I learned this morning that my friend was also up last night starting about 2:00 AM with similar symptoms. The timing and fact that we both ate similar items at Subway make it the likely culprit.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Cyprus' president and other politicians will have their immunity from prosecution significantly curbed as part of a package of new reforms aiming to bolster accountability in public life in the crisis-hit country.
Currently, the president can lose his job if convicted of high treason or any offenses "involving dishonesty or moral turpitude" or becomes permanently incapacitated physically or mentally.
But President Nicos Anastasiades said Monday that a proposed constitutional amendment will "expand and specify" the offenses under which the president could be criminally prosecuted.
He said ministers and top civil servants will face tougher legal standards, with new criminal and civil liabilities to be enshrined in law. Members of parliament, who have immunity from prosecution on some types of offenses, will lose all such legal protection.
"Today ... I find that not only is the state's reformation and modernization needed but is demanded, just as restoring the public's trust in institutions and more so in politicians is demanded," Anastasiades said in a nationally televised address.
More government officials, including presidential appointees such as advisers and commissioners as well as judges and parliamentary leaders, will have to declare their financial assets.
Presidential terms will be limited to two consecutive 5-year periods. However, a former president can again seek reelection after a hiatus of at least one term. There is currently no limit to the terms a president can serve.
Members of parliament will be restricted to serving three consecutive terms.
Anastasiades is trying to rehabilitate the image of the country's political elite after it took a severe bruising from the financial crisis -- the worst the country has faced in decades -- and the chaotic negotiations over a bailout program.
Cyprus, with a population of around 860,000 and economic output that only contributes 0.2 percent to the economy of the 17-country eurozone, last month negotiated a 23 billion euro ($30 billion) financial rescue package with its euro partners and the International Monetary Fund. The deal involved depositors with over 100,000 euros sitting in Cyprus' two largest banks to take heavy losses on their savings.
That was a key condition under which creditors would agree to loan Cyprus 10 billion to keep the near-bankrupt government going and to keep the financial sector -- deeply hurt from losses it took on bad Greek debt and loans -- from imploding.
Many Cypriots saw the deal as a betrayal of Europe's commitment to support its troubled members. But more importantly, it was taken as evidence of the failings of their politicians, who are perceived as either too feeble to stand up to international pressure, in cahoots with bankers, or more interested in protecting their own interests than those of the public.
Cypriots' confidence in their leaders had already been drained after the July 2011 explosion of Iranian munitions left exposed to the elements after being confiscated two years earlier. Many chalked up the explosion, which killed 13 people and nearly completely destroyed the country's largest power station, to government officials' ineptitude.
Among the other measures Anastasiades announced on Monday is making all state tenders public and bolstering the powers of the ombudsman's office to compel government departments to conform to its recommendations.
Citizens will be granted free and unfettered access to all government documents apart from those involving national security, defense and international relations.
Government employees will be hired based on the strength of their marks in a written exam as well as their academic and professional achievements rather than their performance in an oral interview.
New administrative courts will be set up to alleviate a huge backlog of cases weighing down the country's legal system. Another proposed bill would enable citizens to propose their own legislation provided that it has the support of 10,000 people.
Also, voting in any election will no longer be obligatory and those not casting ballots won't be criminally prosecuted.

A total of 624 fans were on hand for the action, which is the most for a home Lady Monarchs game since Sept. 17, 2010, when ODU took on NC State. The first half saw a total of 10 shots, five from each team, as well as four total corners in which the Lady Monarchs attempted three. However, after the first 45 minutes of play, the score remained 0-0. At the 62:24 mark, the Flames used a combo pass from Brittany Aanderud to Gabriella Mckee, which found Crystal Elmers who was able to slide her shot past ODU's Erin Kinz on a 1-on-1, lifting Liberty to a 1-0 lead and ultimately 1-0 victory. Defending women's soccer champion Liberty University was unanimously voted the preseason favorite in the Big South Conference Women's Soccer preseason poll by the league's head coaches after going to the 2013 NCAA Tournament. For the match, Liberty took 12 shots, while Old Dominion fired off 10. The corner kick battle ended tied at four apiece. Liberty's All-Conference goalkeeper, Holly Van Noord got the win after making two saves, while ODU's Erin Kinz protected the net for all 90 minutes and accumulated three saves.

Officials signaled the end of the contest, and the Southington girls soccer team scrambled onto the field in celebration. Sal Penta let out a sigh of relief, shook his head, and smiled.
It wasn't pretty. It wasn't his team's best game of the season, but the 3-0 win over New Britain was the certainly the biggest one of the fall. On the final day of the regular season, the Southington girls soccer team finally clinched a postseason berth.
After a one-year absence, the Knights will return to tournament play.
"Obviously we didn't play how we wanted to play, but I told them to think about the game at Conard, the game at Simsbury, and the game at Farmington," said Penta. "Those were the games that won us this trip to the tournament. Those were the games that will carry us over into the tournament."
The victory was Southington's first since Oct. 3 and just the fifth of the season, but Penta credits that to Southington's powerhouse schedule. The Knights were able to inch closer to the postseason with October ties at Conard and Farmington. Five of their last six competitors are tournament-bound, and most are higher seeds.
With the win over New Britain Southington enters the postseason with a 5-8-3 record, but Penta knows that his team is battle tested and ready for any competition.
"I think when the time comes, no matter who we play in the tournament game, our girls will be ready," said the coach. "Unfortunately, it might be Hall or NW Catholic. You know that we're going to face a good team. I was just hoping that it would be somebody from a different conference."
The Knights had two chances to clinch a tournament berth in the final week, but Southington fell short against Newington on Monday, Oct. 21. Carolynn Keal fed the ball to Jessica Goralski to give the Knights an early lead, but Newington evened the score by the half and earned the game-winner with 27 minutes left in the game.
Southington out-shot Newington, 11-8. Janelle Mangassarian and Margaret Mellitt combined for seven saves, but the Knights fell, 2-1.
"I thought this game might have been our best game of the year," said Penta, "but we just had a few unfortunate mistakes."
That wasn't the case against New Britain on Wednesday. Emily Kemnitz earned her first of two assists when she crossed a pass to Sarah Palko on a fast break. Palko scored to the opposite corner to give the Knights a 1-0 lead. Caitlyn Krar fed Megan Power a perfect assist to give Southington a 2-0 lead, but New Britain countered with a score before the break.
Goralski scored the only goal of the second half, and Southington held on for a 3-1 win.
"You have to give New Britain credit," said Penta. "They play tough. They sort of stay in the middle of the field and force us to work to the outside."
Once again, the defense held steady. Mangassarian and Mellitt combined for four saves as the defense held New Britain to just five shots on goal. Ten games this season have been decided by one goal or less, and the defense has posted three shutouts along the way to score a win and two ties. Penta said that the defense will continue to be crucial as the Knights take to the road for postseason play.
"Our goaltending and our defense has been the difference all year," said the coach. "Our goalies have done an outstanding job, and our back four—Erin Angelillo, Silvana Tellerico, Emily Maciejewski, and Emily Lippincott—have been our backbone so far. That's why we had those 0-0 games at Simsbury and Farmington. It's our defense."
Can Southington advance in the tournament despite the worst postseason record in Class LL? Don't count them out. The Knights were competitive against both Hall and NW Catholic in late season contests. The third time may be the charm.
"We just have got to finish our opportunities," Penta said. "This game [against New Britain] should have been out of hand by halftime. It's our decision making up front. It has to be better. Unfortunately, at this point in the season, you just can't practice it. It has to just be there."
Can they do it? They'll find out on Thursday, Nov. 14. Match-ups will be posted on Friday at noon at www.ciacsports.com.
