Every winter, droves of surfers head to Oahu toting guns (surfboards, that is), cohones, and potentially damaging naiveté. It's the quintessential surf pilgrimage. But along with it come crowds, death defying waves, and strong local law enforcement (aka: The Wolf Pack). The vibe is more focused on survival than carefree waves and parties. Which is why you might want to consider heading over in the spring. The Pipemasters wil have finished months before, and most of the visiting pros and industry folk will be long gone. The waves are still there, though. And as anyone who's visited during that time will attest, it's the one time when you'll probably be able to score sessions on the North Shore that are "fun." Instead of "crap your boardies adrenaline overdoses." To top that off, the surf season on the South Shore is just revving up (it pumps, actually) and just a quick car ride away—as are the hopping clubs of Honolulu (hey, you might even catch pros Kaela Kennelly or Kalani Robb DJ'ing). Of course, it's still Hawaii, and all the rules still apply in terms of respecting and honoring the turf, so act accordingly. Or take cracks and fly home with your tail between your legs.
Wave Consistency: Even in the "off-season," the conditions are still better than most other places where surfers live in the world.
Spots: Get a surf map.
Boards: Shortboard and a solid step up, just in case.
Localism: Heaviest, brah.
Danger: Beat downs, theft, and encounters with sharp, shallow reef.
Lodging: Very expensive, but better than the prices in the middle of winter.
Party scene: Backyard benders and downtown dance offs.

I want to travel all around the world, that's why next July I'm planning a trip in Kenya (Africa) where I'll follow elephants for 2 weeks.
What about my family ...
I have a big brother, Anthony, 22 years old and a little Sis', Morgane, 13 years old.
My sis' only listen to symphonic metal like Sonata Arctica, Northern Kings .... and my bro, well he loves Rap and that kind of stuff ...
My dad and my mom well they love Metal like Iron Maiden, ACDC, Manson, Guano Apes, Lacuna Coil, Dimmu, Pantera, Rob Zombie and so many others great bands!

Bernard Hilton was born 87 years ago in 1923. I met him at my church and he mentioned that his great-grandmother, his grandmother and his mother all made cheese. In fact, he thought he had an old press in his attic and if I wanted to see it, why he'd bring it right down. (Bernard is from Maine so he talks like that.)
Well, of course I wanted to see it! I went right over to his house in Deerfield, MA and spent a lovely afternoon pumping Bernard with questions. This is what he told me:
Bernard's Childhood in Norridgewock, Maine
For the first six years of his life, Bernard and the rest of his family lived with his father's mother, Kate Hilton. She and Melvina, his great-grandmother, taught Bernard's mother to make cheese. Actually, Melvina was widely known to be the best cheesemaker in the vicinity. She lived to be 101.
|Melvina Holt Butler, Bernard's great-grandmother
There was no refrigeration back then (except ice), so they stored the milk in the cellar. Skimming the milk was a chore, so Bernard's father used to say "Women like Jerseys and Guernseys because they can take the cream off with a fork."
In 1929, Bernard's father bought his own farm down the road with a big house, a 75 acre field and 20-30 other acres of land. He paid $1500. This was such a big investment for him that he stayed awake nights worrying about how he would pay the interest on the loan. Bernard was somewhat disappointed with the new house because it didn't have indoor plumbing.
|Bernard's grandmother, Kate Hilton
Soon, there were 9 children in the family. (Later, all, except one, went to college.) Bernard's father did whatever he could to make a living. He started out with Herefords and then acquired 5 or 6 purebred Holstein heifers. Bernard remembers his father as "the best hand milker I ever saw."
Unfortunately, it turned out that most of the new heifers had Bang's Disease and they had to be slaughtered. So, then, Bernard's father got more sheep. He would slaughter the lambs and take them around to restaurants, etc. in the back of his old Franklin car ( he had removed the back seat).
|Bernard's father, Ralph Hilton
In the winter, his father had to go to the lumber camps up north. He brought his own horses and he stayed there except for a few visits home. Once Bernard went with him to the camp. On the way there, in the night, his father found the trail (the most well-used road) by lighting matches to see the fresh horse manure.
In 1933, the height of the Depression, he didn't work at the camps. He told his son the wages weren't enough to pay for the wear and tear on his clothes, let alone the horses. Bernard honestly can't figure out how they survived that year.
Later, in the fifties, Bernard's father became a state representative and then a senator. He was Chairman of the Agricultural Committee. In 1964, he was voted "Farmer of the Year" (but everyone said that was just because that same year, his wife was voted "Mother of the Year" and they didn't want him to feel left out!)
|Bernard's mother, Lora Hilton,
Maine's "Mother of the Year" in 1964
Making the Cheese
During that same year, 1933, Bernard's mother made cheese every day. When she first started doing it, Bernard's father slaughtered a calf for the rennet. He hung it in the attic to dry. Every day, Bernard's mother broke off a small piece of the stomach lining and brought it downstairs for the cheese. (By the time she was done with that rennet, she was able to buy pills (rennet tablets) which were much more consistent.)
|Draining rack which was covered with cheesecloth
By that evening, she put the curds in the press. They were pressed overnight, and the next day, she chopped up the curds and salted them. Then, she pressed them again for another day. Bernard says they had to watch the color of the whey as it ran out of the wooden molds because if it was white, they had too much weight.
|The smaller of Bernard's mother's two presses
His mother had 2 presses because she made cheese every day. One was the press Bernard still has and the other was much larger. He doesn't know who made the hoops (molds) because they had been in the family for generations. (His great-great grandfather was a stagecoach driver from Augusta to the Canadian line.)
His mother also made butter and he and his brothers and sisters had to help with the churning. She sold her butter for 17 cents per pound. Bernard told me his Uncle Harry was able to sell his butter for over 40 cents per pound because "he had good bugs" (bacteria). His butter had a much-coveted sweet taste. He was able to keep it cold in a box he had made and kept in a cold water spring.
|Hoop and follower Bernard made to teach cheesemaking
Bernard keeps in touch with his large, extended family. He is proud of his sister, Pauline, born in 1932, who won the milking contest at the University of Maine while she was a student there. His sister, Caroline (next below Bernie) has a daughter and her family is milking 1600 cows with a round milking parlor that holds 100. One of Bernard's nephews runs the family farm and milks 250 cows. His wife talks about making cheese, but she is way too busy.
|Whey was drained from the hole in the front into a bucket while
the cheese was being pressed.
Bernard has a blog with many wonderful stories about his childhood. Check it out at http://blhilton.xanga.com/.

text: For those of you who shoot, camp, hunt, or do other things outdoors, avoid anything with the "Allen" brand. I bought one of their shotgun shell holders at Wal-Mart, and 20 minutes into yesterday's squirrel hunting trip the stitching started to rip on the pockets. By the end of the trip 2 of the 5 stitches had ripped about halfway down. The holder was in brand new condition when I bought it, and I reached back on the shelf and pulled one from further back that other customers hadn't handled or messed with. Their products are obviously just cheap, chinese crap and don't undergo any actual testing. I e-mailed the company to let them know, and thought I would warn you guys not to buy any of their stuff if this is the quality of workmanship they have.

|Alt Syntax
The altSyntax is an option that can be defined in struts.properties. By default it is set to true and it is strongly recommend you do not change that unless you are upgrading from WebWork 2.1.7 or previous versions.
The altSyntax changes the behavior of how tags are interpreted. Instead of evaluating each tag parameter against the value stack and needing single quotes to mark string literals, only marked expressions are evaluated.
the following code uses the Tag Syntax:
this is somewhat counter intuitive to normal HTML tag behaviour, and you get loads of single quotes. Now the same example in altSyntax:
Only expressions enclosed with %{} are evaluated. The code is shorter and clearer, very similar to JSTL EL usage. Quoting problems, eg. with javascript function calls, are avoided.
In order to fully understand why this option exists and what the differences are, it is best to get a bit of history about WebWork.
In WebWork 2.1.4, the altSyntax option was introduced. The book, WebWork in Action, while based around WebWork 2.1.7, was entirely written with the assumption that the altSyntax was enabled. As of WebWork 2.2, the altSyntax is turned on by default and eventually the old syntax will no longer be supported and will be removed from the code.

What's in a name? If you're a Chicagoan and your surname is Capone, everything. There is perhaps no more notorious name associated with the city (except perhaps Gacy, or for a time, Bartman). Growing up, Deirdre Marie Capone lived what she calls a "shame-based existence" and struggled with her family ties to one of the towering crime bosses of the 20th century.
So it's something of a new chapter in her life that she wrote a book, "Uncle Al Capone: The Untold Story from Inside His Family," which takes on the public's perception of her family as personified by Al, former "Public Enemy No.1," whose "Outfit" menaced Chicago during the Prohibition era and who remains the poster boy for Chicago's mob past.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
Unlike Leonard Nimoy, who desperately tried to distance himself from his signature "Star Trek" character with his book, "I am not Spock," Capone confronts her family's legacy head on.
She's got her work cut out for her, considering what we think we know about Al Capone. That little matter of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, for instance.
But here's the thing: What we know about Al Capone isn't necessarily true, and what we don't know would add a more human dimension to the quintessential gangster who inspired the 1932 crime classic film "Scarface."
"Was Al Capone a mobster?" Capone asks. "Yes, he was. Was he a monster? No, he was not."
Is the world ready for a more human Al Capone, one who, Capone writes, taught her to swim and ride a bike and traded knock-knock jokes? Chicagoan Jonathan Eig's 2010 book, "Get Capone," for one, has set the record straight on some of the more infamous aspects of the Capone mythology. But a piece of the puzzle is missing, Capone insists in an interview. "There are more than 100 books written about Al Capone," she says. "But no author ever knew the man, knew the color of his eyes, the way he smelled, the sound of his voice. This is an entirely different perspective."
For decades, when it came to Al Capone, the classic words spoken in the John Ford western "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" applied: "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." So, despite Eig's research and Capone's interviews with family members who, she insists, gave it to her straight, the public at large has Capone fingered as the orchestrator of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Which he probably was not.
"Al Capone was almost never linked directly to any murders," Eig said in an email. "He was a savvy businessman who kept his hands clean. It's very unlikely Capone was involved in that notorious crime."
Capone devotes a chapter in her book to the massacre, which was intended to be a hit on rival mob boss Bugs Moran. Seven people were slain. Moran was not present. Capone offers her own convincing case that Al was not involved based on talks she had with her grandfather, Al's brother, Ralph. "Anybody who studied Al Capone's M.O. would know that was not a Capone job," Capone says. "If Capone wanted to get Moran, he would have gotten him. There wouldn't have been that farce."
Capone, 72, who lives in Florida, was in Chicago recently in part to speak at a Chicago History Museum gala marking the 79th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition. That she would stand before any size crowd to talk about her family would have been inconceivable as recently as two years ago, she says.
She did not tell her husband, to whom she has been married for 50 years, about her family tree until just before they were married and moved to Minnesota in 1972. Two years later, she writes in her book, her 9-year-old son came home from school, and in answer to her question "What did you learn today?" responded that he learned about a gangster named Al Capone.
She was finally compelled to have the conversation with her children that she had long dreaded.
"It was very difficult growing up in Chicago with the last name of Capone," she says. "My father was the first born of the second generation of Capones, and he had all the family hope and promise on his shoulders. He played the role in the Capone family that John Fitzgerald Kennedy played in the Kennedy family. He got his law degree from Loyola, but the Chicago Bar Association wouldn't allow him to practice because his last name was Capone." He took his own life when his daughter was 10.
As for Capone, she had been enrolled in elementary school as Deirdre Gabriel (her father's middle name). She was inadvertently outed, she recalls, in a newspaper story about a ceremony at which "Deirdre Capone" was among the second-grade students who had received their first communion. The ceremony had been held in the wake of Al Capone's death in 1947 on Jan. 25, Deirdre Capone's birthday. The family needed "something joyous," she says, and so the entire Capone clan attended the event. "The priests and nuns (at my school) knew who I was, but my classmates and their parents didn't," she says. "Two weeks later, every other classmate was invited to this girl's birthday party, but not me. I sent out invitations to my birthday party, but no one came."
Years later, she writes, she worked with an insurance company in downtown Chicago. She still went by the surname Gabriel, but six months into the job, she had to use her legal name to take advantage of the company's offer to its employees of a free insurance policy. When her boss learned she was a Capone, she says, she was let go.
She, too, had harbored thoughts of suicide, she admits, but credits the Capone "grit" with her drive to persevere. "I inherited that," she says.
But she still approached with trepidation the task of telling her children that she was a Capone. She was old enough to read when Al Capone died and had seen the obituaries and their recaps of his life of crime. "I couldn't figure it out" at the time, she says. "I knew something was different because when my father took me to grandma's house and Al was there, there would always be armed guards.

I think Lord Tensai is the destructive force the WWE needs right about now, he would add power to the WWE as well as bring in some Japanese style wrestling that he has picked up over the last few years.
So as many people already know and have figured out, Tensai is in fact former WWE wrestler A-Train/Albert. When A-Train was in the WWE he was a dominating force but I always

This is gonna be my first official post here, the names Mike Madness and I just wanted to get your opinion on a few things.
A lot of people bash the current WWE and in my opinion they have a good right to. Most people when bashing the WWE will turn to the Attitude Era as the way wrestling use to be, and should still be. Like many here, I have been a wrestling fan through the Attitude

CFOs routinely interact with government on the local, state and federal levels to pay taxes, comply with ever-changing regulations and manage political risk, for example. But working with government to effect change for a company or industry is far from routine. It demands solid relationships, political astuteness and the ability to be heard. Understand four principles of interacting with government that can help CFOs address government affairs challenges.

It wasn't long ago--maybe five or seven years--that a street car with700 rear-wheel horsepower was still the stuff of urban myth.
Sure, you'd hear about them: that car that showed up only once or twiceduring the summer to wipe the street with other local hot shoes, collectsome cash, and disappear into the night. Nobody really knew who thedriver was or what was under the hood, but hey--it had to be makingsomething like 700 to the tires. Hell, as such stories go, it probablyeven had an air-shifted transmission out of what's-his-name's old ProStock car.
With the continuing advances in tuning and increased reliability ofpower-adder systems, 700 "to the treads" in a street car is no longer amyth. It's a cold fact, but that isn't to say it's an easy feat, orcheap.
Mike Leake's sinister-looking '02 Z06, however, certainly looks the partof a sneaky, only-comes-out-at-night street sweeper. Its bad blackpaint, slightly bulged hood, and Hoosier-slick-equipped rear wheelsspeak softly, but communicate the car's capabilities loudly. The whistleof a ProCharger F-1C supercharger has its own voice, too.
Certainly, more than doubling the output over the stock Z06's 405hprating didn't come by treating the LS6 engine to a simple after-catexhaust system and a free-flow air filter. In fact, the factory LS1 wasditched altogether and replaced with a supercharged 427-inch mill basedon the dollar-intensive C5-R racing block. A 4.000-inch-strokecrankshaft, combined with the block's 4.125-inch bores, gives the engineits 7.0-liter displacement.
Beyond size, however, the C5-R block features beefy cylinder liners andthick cylinder walls, along with billet main caps and, compared withregular-production Gen III blocks, a harder alloy that better resistsdeformation in high-horsepower applications. (The decks of regularLS1/LS6 blocks can get a little wavy under load if you pump more than1,000 hp through them, something this combination is on the cusp ofachieving.)
Performance Motors Inc. and MC Racing (www.gomcracing.com) of KansasCity handled different aspects of the engine build, which includedinstalling a set of AFR 225 Mongoose cylinder heads. The high-flow headsboast 72cc chambers, 2.02-inch intake valves, and 1.60-inch exhaustvalves. A stock intake manifold plugged with 72-pound low-impedanceinjectors sends air and fuel to the heads, where it's compressed by acustom set of blower-friendly 8.5:1 Wiseco pistons.
The ATI ProCharger F-1C, with its 4-inch inlet and 3-inch outlet, isdesigned to make more than 30 pounds of boost, enabling engine output ofabout 1,250 hp. Leake's engine is almost there, putting down 772 hp tothe wheels or just about 1,000 ponies at the crank. The Vettecomplemented its 772-rwhp rating with 764 lb-ft of torque to the tires.
By the way, simply keeping this supercharged Vette's rear planted on thedyno was a feat that required more than a couple of husky guys sittingchummily beneath the rear hatch--and the car still wanted to walk offthe rollers.
Ensuring the fuel for the nearly 1,000-horse 427 is portioned outprecisely is the job of an ACCEL/DFI controller, which works with aspeed-density-type air-metering system. There are other supportingcharacters, too, including a Lingenfelter-supplied fuel pump, an MSD"boost-a-pump" fuel-pump "amplifier," and a thick C&R aluminum radiator.

Did you know you could buy a C5 in kit form back in the day? Me neither. You couldn't buy one of these Corvettes from your local Chevrolet dealer. You had to be approved by GM to buy one of these C5 Corvettes. Then after you were approved, you had to go to the parts counter to place your order for the car. When your Corvette was finally delivered, most of the car arrived in boxes. Oh, you also had to drive to Flint, Michigan, to pick up the rolling chassis.
These were obviously no ordinary Corvettes. These were Corvette race cars. From 1999 to 2001 you could buy your Corvette race car directly from Chevrolet, or more correctly from the Service and Parts Operations division of GM. You didn't really buy a complete Corvette. You bought a rolling chassis complete with a drivetrain, a bunch of body panels, and any number of small parts. The body panels arrived in cardboard boxes. Actually, in 1999, they arrived a few weeks later since there were some logistical problems.
When the C5 was introduced, a lot of folks at GM thought the way to sell more Corvettes was to race them. They believed the old phrase, "Win on Sunday-sell on Monday." GM Motorsports thought it would be a really neat idea to make Corvette racing even easier than it had been in the past. Prior to 1999, you had to go to your local Chevrolet dealer and buy a brand-new Corvette. You would then take the car apart and turn all the parts into a race car. GM Motorsports, led by Ken Brown, came up with the idea of selling racers only the parts they needed. Since race teams were taking brand-new Corvettes apart anyway, why not just sell them the parts they needed? Race teams didn't need a stinking interior.
Once it was decided to go ahead with the program, GM had to make sure that the cars actually went to racers and not collectors. It wouldn't do any good if these cars ended up at Bloomington Gold. GM didn't do this program to help you win an NCRS award. Nope, the idea was that you would buy one of these kits, assemble it, and then beat the crap out of it on the racetrack. This was a performance program.
The Fixed Roof Coupe (FRC)
All of these Corvette kit cars were Fixed Roof Coupes (FRC). At one time, this was supposed to be the Bubba or a low-priced Corvette. When the product planners realized that the FRC would sell for about the same price as the Camaro, the Bubba program was halted. The only problem was the FRC was still going into production. What the hell do we do with this car now? It was time to get creative. The problem was that there was this Corvette (the FRC) going into production with no real sales program. GM had everything in place except the target market. OK, they said-let's make the FRC a race car!
I remember attending a meeting where they explained to a small group of us that the FRC was the ideal Corvette race car because it had the stiffest body shell of the three different versions. No mention was made of the crappy aero numbers they had just seen in the wind tunnel. The FRC wasn't a great aero package. The air simply didn't come off of the roof properly. The hatchback coupe was much better at handling the airflow over the top of the car. Now we had an FRC being sold as a race car when the street car, or coupe, had much better aero characteristics. Ooops. You'll notice that Pratt and Miller never used the FRC in any of its racing programs. It knew from the start that the FRC was aero trouble.
The cars destined for the SCCA World Challenge just avoided this whole aero issue. The idea was "Here's your FRC-go have fun." The kit car program seemed to be a perfect way to showcase the FRC and create demand for this orphan body style. A little later, GM would try limiting the Z06 option to the FRC. This actually helped sell more FRCs than the kit car program sold. Keep in mind, though, that this was a coordinated effort. All of the SCCA World Challenge Corvettes were Fixed Roof Coupes, and if you wanted the Z06 performance package you had to order it as an FRC. This mess was finally all coming together.

This is the era of modern wonders, where everything is transistorized, digitized, and miniaturized. Yet even now, many enthusiasts still use breaker point ignitions on their classic Chevys. For others, the frustrations of trying to keep a breaker point-fired vehicle in top running condition has been reason enough to join the electronic brigade. Breaker point systems do have some positives, though. Points are cheap and fairly easy to install. Many enthusiasts are comfortable with setting them up. And for restoration projects, they are one sure way to maintain some originality. But for the utmost in firing precision and maintenance-free convenience, an electronic ignition is the way to go.
We recently came across this new Breakerless SE system for single- and dual-point distributors with windowed-style distributor caps and decided to upgrade a distributor that was awaiting installation in a shop car. Using an uninstalled distributor made it much easier to take photos of the process, but it's just as easily done with the unit in the vehicle. When in comes right down to it, installing the new electronic system was every bit as easy-if not easier-than installing a new set of points and a condenser. Everything also looks box-stock when it's all back together. All the new components fit under the cap, and the only wire exiting the distributor is the one that was there when you started.
We dropped our new electronic ignition equipped distributor into an early small-block, and it fired up and ran like a champ. With no moving parts to worry about, we can drive to our heart's content and only have to replace the occasional cap and rotor. The real payoff, though, is knowing that we won't be pulling that cap off in a few thousand miles to reset the points.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 20, 3:30 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Dix Stadium (20,500) -- Kent, Ohio. Television: None. Home Record: WMU 3-1, KSU 2-0. Away Record: WMU 0-3, KSU 3-1. Neutral Record: WMU 0-0, KSU 0-0. Conference Record: WMU 1-2, KSU 3-0. Series Record: Western Michigan leads, 33-18-1.
GAME NOTES: The Kent State Golden Flashes look to remain perfect in league action as they host the Western Michigan Broncos at Dix Field for a Mid- American Conference battle.
The Broncos dropped to 3-4 last week as they suffered a heartbreaking 30-24 overtime loss at Ball State. After beginning the season with a 24-7 loss to Illinois, WMU has alternated wins and losses since.
Kent State picked up its fourth win in a row last week as it downed Army, 31-17, to improve to 5-1 overall and 3-0 in league action. All but one of the Golden Flashes' wins during their streak have been by double-digit margins and three have occurred away from home. A win over Western Michigan will make KSU bowl eligible just seven games into the season.
This will be the 53rd meeting in history between these programs. WMU extended its advantage to 33-18-1 in the all-time series with a 38-3 victory over KSU in 2010.
Although it has been sporadic, the WMU offense has been effective overall this season, scoring 29.3 ppg on 424.9 ypg.
Starting quarterback Alex Carder threw for 1,049 yards and eight touchdowns in the first four games, but a hand injury has kept him sidelined for the past three weeks. In his absence, Tyler Van Tubbergen has stepped in and been streaky. Van Tubbergen completed 23-of-28 attempts for 283 yards and five touchdowns in the team's triumph over UMass, but he threw multiple interceptions in both of his other starts. He has seven touchdowns to six interceptions on the season.
Jaime Wilson has been one of the MAC's busiest receiver as he is tied for the league-high with 56 catches, including five last week. He is also among the conference leaders in yards (681) and touchdowns (six). Opposite Wilson is Josh Schaffer, who has caught 29 balls for 366 yards and two scores.
Dareyon Chance (99 carries, 558 yards, two TDs) has a pair of 100-yard rushing performances in the last three games. Brian Fields offers a change of pace in the backfield, picking up 314 rushing yards and two score on 52 carries.
The defense (25.4 ppg) played tough against UMass, but it allowed 433 yards of total offense to Ball State in its most recent outing.
Johnnie Simon, Justin Currie, and Desmond Bozeman each have 40 tackles or more. The unit can create plenty of pressure on the quarterback, with Bozeman (four sacks), Deauntay Legrier (3.5 sacks) and Paul Hazel (four sacks) all charging off the line. Lewis Toler is a playmaker in the secondary with three interceptions and a pair of pass breakups.
Darrell Hazel's squad has been scoring at will in recent weeks. In its past two outings, Kent State scored 45 points versus Ball State, 41 points against Eastern Michigan, and 31 on Army behind the arm of Spencer Keith and the backfield duo of Trayion Durham and Dri Archer.
Archer (625) and Durham (525) have each rushed for over 500 yards this season while averaging more than 85 yards per game on the ground. Archer is a bit more explosive with a team-best 10.7 yards per carry and six touchdowns. Archer is also a weapon in the passing game, ranking second on the team in receptions (16) and receiving yards (225), while pulling in three of only seven passing touchdowns by Kent State this season. Archer is fifth in the FBS and first in the MAC in scoring with 12.0 ppg.
Keith has not been a prolific passer this season but has been serviceable, completing 55.7 percent of his pass attempts for 849 yards and only two interceptions to five touchdown passes. In the win over Ball State, Keith showed he could put up numbers by compiling a season-high in passing yards (295) and three touchdown passes. Keith has been able to accomplish those numbers despite facing a constant pressure due to KSU's suspect offensive line.
KSU has been improving defensively from week to week. After holding their last two opponents under 20 points, KSU is ranked fourth in the MAC in scoring defense (24.8 ppg) and third in total defense (389 ypg.).
Luke Batton is the anchor of the defense with a team-best 57 total stops. Junior DB Luke Wollet is second on the squad with 43 tackles and also has two interceptions.
Until WMU gets Carder back, its offense is going to be inconsistent. The Broncos are decent against the run (145.1 yards allowed per game), which will help against KSU, which has picked up 604 rushing total yards in its past two games. The Golden Flashes should be able to fend off the Broncos unless Van Tubbergen has a spectacular performance.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Kent State 24, Western Michigan 20

I know I'm like the boy who cried wolf here…but this is hands down my favorite quilt to date. This quilt is very "me". I was a little sick of doing quilts with squares squares and more squares, so this was a nice way to change it up. The quilt blocks are made using pattern pieces, but the blocks go to together surprisingly easy and it's a nice way to dip your toes into template patterns if you haven't yet.
The circles are appliqued on…I used invisible thread, which is a lot like sewing with fishing line if you've never used it. The pattern includes a crib size also…I'll show you that one after I get better pics. I quilted it with brown thread to match the background triangles and avoided quilting the circles….it gives them kind of a 3D effect in real life.
The fabrics are a mix…but because I know someone will want to know:
- The brown solid is a Bella Solid in Hershey from here.
-The dark green vine print and leaves/flowers on white background are from the Honey Bee Collection by Michael Miller.
- The orange basket weave is Denyse Schmidt Hope Valley.
- The yellow and light green leafy print is Sandi Henderson Farmers Market & Meadowsweet 2.
- The smallish white and red polka dot and the aqua gingham with large red flowers is Bliss by Bonnie and Camille for Moda.
- The orange with little blue flowers is Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry.
- The dark red with red circles is Riley Blake…the Wheels collection I think? I think the aqua flower things on white background are also Riley Blake.
- The red pez is Wee Play by American Jane….its been out of print forever.
And the rest I have no idea…Phew!

Much like Pinocchio, your nose could reveal that you're lying, though unlike the beloved character, your nose will heat up instead of growing longer when you tell a fib, new research claims.
Psychology researchers from the University of Granada in Spain used thermography to study the temperature of people's faces in experiments. They said they found a jump in the temperature around the nose and in the orbital muscle in the inner corner of the eye during lying. They also found that face temperature drops for people performing a difficult mental task and rises for people experiencing high anxiety.
The researchers said these effects could have something to do with the insula, a region of the brain involved in consciousness as well as the detection and regulation of body temperature. Lying boosted activity in this region, the team said.
Thermography could be used to study emotional or physiological states that become manifest through body temperature, such as sexual excitement, which heats up the chest and genitals, and even empathy. The researchers said that when highly empathic people see a person getting an electric shock in the forearm, they experience an increase in the temperature in their forearm as if feeling the other person's pain.

I have both shimmer bricks. They are really multi-use. Great for over all shimmer, highlighting your face, but I also love to use it as an eye shadow when I just want a touch of color and some sparkle on my eye. I use it everyday.

I have been wearing glo minerals for 5+ years now, and this shimmer brick is absolutely wonderful. I have yellow undertones, and typically wear the golden dark pressed base, so I bought the luster. It is perfect!! It gives a lovely glow, not too sparkly, and feels great on the skin. I pretty much wear it every day now, and with my natural summer tan, it looks amazing - - - I have been getting lots of compliments! I even use it as an eyeshadow. LOVE it!!! So I am happy to write my first review ever about this product.

Alexandria is home to many gardens, parks, and green areas that support all types of vegetation, wildlife, and, unfortunately, ticks. Use the information below to educate yourself, your friends, and your family about ticks, the diseases they can carry, and how to protect against them.
Back to EH Main Page
Ticks are arachnids that are close relatives to spiders. They can vary in size from that of a poppy seed to that of an apple seed. They can be found in Alexandria's vegetation.
In Alexandria, we may find:
Deer TickIxodes scapularis
American Dog TickDermacentor variabilis
Lone Star TickAmblyomma Aamericanum
Only some of these ticks carry diseases that can infect humans. See tick-borne diseases or more information.
Alexandria residents can bring ticks to Environmental Health office at the Alexandria Health Department for identification by one of our staff. See our office information and hours below.
Section Heading / Back to Top
A tick's lifecycle varies by the tick species and the climate. The typical lifecycle is one to two years and includes four stages of growth: egg, larva, nymph and adult.
After hatching from eggs, the larvae, nymphs and adults all need to take a blood meal to complete their life cycle. It is during this process of feeding that a tick can transmit diseases to its host. Usually ticks in the nymph and adult stages are responsible for transmitting diseases.
Ticks do not jump or fly onto people or animals. Instead, they use a method called "questing", which is when a tick waits on low vegetation and attaches itself to a host as he or she passes. Ticks identify hosts through cues such as carbon dioxide as well as heat and movement.
Once a tick attaches to a host, it can feed for several days to several weeks. If a tick has a disease, the disease is not transmitted to the host immediately--it can take several hours (or even days) after biting for the host to get the disease.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) lists common symptoms of tick-borne infections. When diagnosed properly, tick-borne diseases can usually be treated with antibiotics.
Section Heading / Back to Top
Lyme disease, the most prevalent vector-borne disease in the U.S, affects people in almost every state. Lyme disease is now considered a peridomestic disease with 75% of all tick bite infections occurring from exposures around one's own property. There are nearly 18,000 reported cases annually in the US. In 2010, there were eleven reported human Lyme disease cases in the City of Alexandria, an all-time high (Fig. 1).
Since 2007, the state of Virginia has experienced significant increases in the number of reported Lyme disease cases and other tick-borne infections (Fig. 2). Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Ehrlichiosis are also transmitted by tick species found in Virginia. One probable case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever was identified in Alexandria in 2009.
Figure 1
Figure 2
People who live, work, or play in places near woods or overgrown brush are at risk of contracting a tick-borne disease. Preventive measures can help reduce the risk of exposure. It is important to avoid infested areas, especially in the spring. Ticks thrive in moist, shaded environments where deer and rodent hosts are abundant.
While it is a good idea to take preventive measures against ticks year-round, be extra vigilant in warmer months (April-September) when ticks are most active. Wearing light-colored clothing makes it easier to find ticks before they bite. Long-sleeved shirts, tucking pants into boots or socks, and wearing boots that come up above the ankles can also help.
According to the CDC, you should check yourself upon return from tick-infested areas. You should also consider periodic 'tick checks' ever few hours during outside play. You may want to do this while reapplying sunscreen or insect repellent. Remember to:
There are no human vaccines for tick-borne diseases. Insect repellents that contain DEET or permethrin are effective ways to prevent tick bites. Sprays that contain 20% or more DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) can last up to several hours when applied on the exposed skin for protection. Parents should avoid hands, eyes, and mouth when applying this product to their children.
Permethrin products should be used on clothes. Treat clothing and gear, such as boots, pants, socks and tents. It remains protective through several washings. Pre-treated clothing is available and remains protective for up to 70 washings. Always follow product instructions. Find other repellents registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at http://cfpub.epa.gov/oppref/insect/.
Because ticks do not transmit disease until they have been attached to the host for several hours to several days, it is important to remove ticks as soon as they are found. The best way to remove ticks is to:
Do not attempt to remove the tick using nail polish, petroleum jelly, alcohol or a hot match as this is unsafe and can also increase possible disease transmission.
Dogs are very susceptible to tick bites and tick-borne diseases. Vaccines for pets are not available for all tick-borne diseases, and they don't keep pets from bringing ticks into your home. For these reasons, it's important to use a tick preventive product on your pet. Tick bites on dogs may be hard to detect. Signs of tick-borne disease may not appear for seven to 21 days or longer after a tick bite, so watch your pet closely for changes in behavior or appetite if you suspect it's been bitten by a tick.
To reduce the chances that a tick will transmit disease to you or your pets:
Note: Cats are extremely sensitive to a variety of chemicals. Do not apply any insect repellents to your cats without first consulting your veterinarian!

Giving teams a lot to prepare forPosted by on November 7, 2012 – 9:56 pm
Jonathan Dwyer knows when Rashard Mendenhall is healthy that the former number one draft pick will be back in the starting lineup. But even then, he can see everyone getting their shot in the backfield.
"We'll just be a running back by committee," said Dwyer. "Whoever has the hot hand gets more of the carries."
Over the last three weeks Dwyer has had two 100-yard plus games, while Isaac Redman turned in a 147-yard performance against the New York Giants while Dwyer was injured.
Dwyer expects to be back on the field this week, while Mendenhall is also working his way back, possibly giving the team a full stable of healthy backs for the first time all season in a few weeks. If that happens, Dwyer feels the best plan of action is to give everyone a shot at carrying the ball, until someone gets going.
"It's good to rotate, let everyone get a feel for it," said Dwyer. "Everybody has a role, whatever that is. Whoever gets that feeling gets the majority of the carries and another guy rolls in when he gets tired. With all of us able to make plays when we touch the ball, who knows what can happen."
Dwyer credits the recent success of the ground game with getting comfortable with Todd Haley's playbook and finding running plays that work to the strengths of the backs.
"We just found things we like to do," said Dwyer. "Coach Haley has a feel for us now. He knows how we are as individuals and he is going off of that.
"I had two big games and Isaac had a phenomenal game last week. It shows how deep the running back position is and teams have to prepare for all three of us and Baron (Batch), Will (Johnson) and (Chris) Rainey. They have to prepare of all of us."

We have six men who can run real hard. switch them around and they wont get tired. And maybe for the other team they'll
