Kasich heading to CPAC Chicago
The Columbus Dispatch - May 02, 2012 2:05 PM
Gov. John Kasich will address the Conservative Political Action Conference-Chicago June 8, hosted by the American Conservative Union.
Other confirmed speakers include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former GOP presidential candidates Herman Cain and Minnesota U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, and GOP donor Foster Freiss.
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, a possible vice presidential pick for likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney, has been invited to speak but has not yet confirmed, according to the ACU.
The conservative conference is set for the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.
"Nobody cares about labels, they care about what you say," Kasich said of his CPAC Chicago appearance and the effect Romney's conservatism might have on the presidential election. "The issue here in Ohio is going to be a debate about jobs. The other thing I can do in my job is to have an impact, I hope, on the general debate about the direction of conservatism. I mean I remember when I wanted to close loopholes in Washington and people were outraged. Now it's become fashionable. The fact that I'm concerned about climate change is, you know, I'm not over the moon about this, but I'm concerned about it and people are buzzed about it, so it's OK to deal with these environmental concerns and be a conservative. Look, we're doing programs to take care of the very poor, right? There's a philosophy out there where if you're conservative you don't care about the poor. Baloney. That's the greatest lie in politics today.
"There are ways I can help influence that debate."

News Constitutional Law Professor Discusses "Roots of Modern Conservatism," Jan. 31
Marlboro, VT -- (January 21, 2011) -- Marlboro College will host a free, public lecture by Joseph Reisert, entitled "The Roots of Modern Conservatism" on Monday, January 31 at 7:00pm in Ragle Hall.
Reisert, a professor of constitutional law at Colby College in Maine, will address characteristics of the modern conservative's approach to governing in the wake of the newly-elected Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. There is an extraordinary diversity within the conservative ranks, Reisert says, but at root are preferences for tradition over reason; for the local and particular against the general or cosmopolitan; and for the noble and beautiful over the useful and common. At bottom, says Reisert, these attachments or ideals are best understood as a response to the limits of what we can and do know about how society works and how to solve social problems.
Joseph Reisert has been teaching political theory and American constitutional law at Colby since the fall of 1996. He is currently at work on a book that aims to develop a Rousseauian political theory, building upon those elements of Rousseau's political philosophy that are most profound, while discarding those that have been refuted by subsequent argument and experience. His first book, Jean-Jacques Rousseau: A Friend of Virtue (Cornell University Press, 2003), examines Rousseau's arguments for the importance of virtue in politics and explains his efforts to impart that virtue to his readers and thereby lay the foundation for a healthier, more democratic society.
Funding for this lecture comes from the Thomas Thompson Trust, which invites speakers whose point-of-view runs counter to the prevailing opinion on campus.
For more information, contact the Marlboro College public relations department at 802-251-7644 or email@example.com. In case of inclement weather, call the Marlboro College Events Information line, 802-451-7151.
Marlboro College offers undergraduate education in the liberal arts and, since 1997, master's degree programs for working adults in the areas of educational technology, internet technologies, health care administration and an MBA in Managing for Sustainability. Its 330 undergraduate students enjoy an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 350-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont.

9 Bay State Rd, Boston, MA | Directions 0221542.350223 -71.093261
24 hours
Neighborhoods: Kenmore, Fenway/Kenmore
What a find! – We stayed in the Riverside. Large room, tastefully appointed, very very clean, very spacious bathroom, kitchenette sans heating microwave or burners but with coffee maker, table with room enough for at least 4. What more can I say!!!! We loved it. Highway noise although right outside the window not even an issue. We walked to Capital Grille, Fenway (don't miss the tour of Fenway) and even the Lyric Stage and all this in the snow. The North End was a cab ride but who cared. Continental breakfast and parking included. We have finally found a no-brainer, just book it place to stay in Boston after looking for almost 20 years!
Beautiful Honeymoon – We found the Gryphon House online and were very excited to see the rooms in person that already looked lovely online. We were definitely impressed. We stayed in the Garden Room and it was so romantic and cozy. Perfect! The staff was friendly and the location was great. Center of everything. You only get a continental breakfast but all the choices were good. We know where we'll stay next time!
Intimate bed-and-breakfast located between Boston University and the Back Bay offers a good starting point for tourists. – In Short
A favorite among visiting B.U. parents and locals in search of a romantic local getaway, the Gryphon contains eight suites. Each one contains a gas log fireplace and modern accoutrements (high-speed Internet access, CD player). Free on-site parking and daily continental breakfast round out the noteworthy features. The inn is located within walking distance of most of Boston's major sights, making it a convenient home base for tourists.
What A Week End – What a great place! We were looking for a get-away to the city and was wanting something different and we found it. The Gryphon House is now our home in the city. I could not believe how big the rooms are (We have stayed in Aerie and Morningside) And how easy it was to settle in, so be prepared to have to decide if you want to go out for dinner or to order in, they have china and tableware in the room. Oh! by the way, a great movie video selection.

Missouri River bridge project plans progress by David Lias The planning phase of the Newcastle, NE/Vermillion bridge over the Missouri River is proceeding on schedule, according to Randy Harper of the Vermillion Development Company.
Harper gave members of the Clay County Commission an update on the project�s progress, and requested funding for a ground-breaking ceremony that will be scheduled in the near future.
�The Missouri River bridge project is progressing nicely,� Harper said. �We�re looking at a January bid letting.�
Harper said that, at this point, it appears that needed land acquisition for the project will be completed in time for the January bid letting.
Several officials from South Dakota and Nebraska, including Harper and Dr. James Green of Vermillion, who serves as co-chairman of the Newcastle/Vermillion Bridge Committee, traveled to Pierre Aug. 5 to meet with South Dakota Department of Transportation officials.
The purpose of the meeting was to obtain an updated schedule for bid letting and construction, determine the status of right-of-way acquisition and determine if any problems remain.
The schedule for bid letting is still subject to change. But if all goes as planned, bids for the bridge and the South Dakota approach will be opened Jan. 19. Bids for the Nebraska approach will be opened Dec. 2.
At that meeting, it was determined that right-of-way land acquisition has been resolved for the South Dakota approach to the new bridge. The Nebraska Department of Roads is negotiating for five of six needed parcels. One parcel will likely be condemned.
�We are meeting with one last landowner � (the Department of) Game, Fish and Parks,� Harper told the county commission. �They are meeting with the DOT right now, and they are going through with the mitigation that needs to take place.�
Bank stabilization was discussed at length at the Pierre meeting. Harper will assist in initiating a request for U.S. Corps of Engineer funds when the South Dakota right-of-way can be certified.
�In September and October and in November, the federal highway department has to approve the design and engineering, and that takes place in Washington. That process takes from 30 to 90 days, so that�s going to slow us down a bit,� Harper said. �But the January bid letting will not delay the completion of the bridge.�
He said a general contractor will be hired to oversee all aspects of the bridge�s construction. Certified contractors will be selected in early October to bid on the more specific types of construction for the project.
�We want to take a look at the experience and the qualifications of the companies to determine which ones are capable,� Harper said.
The project, which will take two to three years to complete, includes 5.2 miles of a new approach road in South Dakota, as well as a bridge over the Vermillion River, the Missouri River span, about 3.5 miles of approach on the Nebraska side and riverbank stabilization there.
The proposed route to the new bridge will take drivers south of Gateway on Highway 19 in Vermillion, west of Bunyans, down the bluff, over the Vermillion River and railroad, and on to the new bridge. The crossing will be at Mulberry Point, where the Missouri River narrows to less than 815 feet.
In June 1998, South Dakota agreed to pay 100 percent of the construction costs for one of the connecting roads to the Missouri River bridge. The business route, 1.2 miles in length, will connect the new bridge road to the airport road which turns into Dakota Street. The proposed alignment would provide access to both upper and lower Vermillion, from Timber Road to the west to Dakota Street on the east. In addition, a new Vermillion River crossing would be built at the Dawson Bridge site.
Clay County agreed in June 1998 to construct a truck route connecting the new bridge road to Dawson Bridge.Since the inception of the Newcastle/Vermillion Bridge project, nine alignments, or access routes, to the bridge from Vermillion have been considered. The accepted alignment will connect the bridge road to Highway 50 near the Timber Road intersection directly west of Vermillion, as well as connect Dakota Street on down to the Missouri River bridge.
In total, the price tag of the Newcastle/Vermillion Bridge is estimated at $23 million. Eighty percent of that comes from federal funds, with South Dakota and Nebraska splitting the remaining 20 percent. Included in the cost have been the numerous studies conducted — from feasibility to the environmental and economical impact of the structure.
Allocations of the federal funds have come over a period of several years, with support from congressional delegations throughout the years from both states. The Newcastle-Vermillion Bridge Committee also raised thousands of dollars locally to help fund the initial feasibility study.
The economic benefits of the bridge have long been part of its construction plans.
�Many people are looking upon the construction of this bridge as a gateway to new business opportunities,� Harper told the Plain Talk in a news story last year. �Locally, Vermillion has existed and survived with a retail trade zone of a half-circle. The bridge will give us a full circle. It will open up the route to Vermillion for 16,000 people living in the two Nebraska counties directly south of us. Not all of them will come here to shop, but some of them will. And if we get 15 to 20 percent sales growth, that will maintain what we have and help attract new stores and services we�re currently missing. The bridge will also tap into a new labor market from Nebraska.�
Harper told the commission Tuesday that Nebraska officials associated with the bridge project have contacted the governing bodies of Dixon County and Newcastle for funding for a groundbreaking ceremony that will be held in the near future on the South Dakota side of the project.
Dixon County agreed to contribute $2,500 and the city of Newcastle is pitching in $1,000.
The Clay County Commission also agreed to allocate $2,500 for the ceremony. The funds will come from the county�s industrial development budget.

Chelsea's home game against Manchester City closes this weekend's fixtures and a day ahead of the game, club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton complete their look ahead to the game…
Manchester City have scored in just two of their last 11 matches at Stamford Bridge and won two top-flight league games at Stamford Bridge in 21 attempts over 35 years.
However, they have won seven of the last 10 meetings between the clubs since December 2009, and won four and drawn one of the last five games in all competitions since we won at Stamford Bridge in December 2011.
One of the last matches at Stamford Bridge before the arrival of Roman Abramovich in summer 2003 was the visit of Kevin Keegan's Manchester City on 22 March. The hosts lay in fourth place following back-to-back defeats a week earlier but a 2-0 win at West Brom restored confidence in a top-four finish and a chance to qualify for the Champions League.
Bottom-half City harboured few such ambitions but had plenty of experience in the likes of Peter Schmeichel, Robbie Fowler and Shaun Goater, although Steve Howey had refused to travel once he was informed he would do so as a substitute.
The visitors held out for 36 minutes, at which point Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink reached Gianfranco Zola's teasing near-post cross ahead of Sylvain Distin and prodded past Schmeichel.
Five minutes later it was 2-0, John Terry jumping unimpeded by markers to meet Graeme Le Saux's corner with an emphatic header from close range.
The tide mostly flowed the same way after the break, although Niclas Jensen might have restored City's interest when he shot wide of an open goal. Soon the Pensioners were in total control when Terry flicked on Hasselbaink's corner for Mario Stanic to sweep into the net.
Frank Lampard made it four after neat interplay with Joe Cole left Schmeichel stranded and with 10 minutes remaining William Gallas completed the rout, tapping in Lampard's cross. Sun Jihai's late second yellow finished off a wonderful afternoon for the home crowd.
Chelsea ended the 2002/03 season in a Champions League qualifying place; City finished ninth.
Our last 10 league meetings at Stamford Bridge
2003/04 - Chelsea won 1-0
2004/05 - Drew 0-0

The second meanest defence in the Barclays Premier League, Chelsea's, faces top scorers Manchester City on Sunday. Both clubs are in their hottest form of the season so far.
The Pensioners' attack may find opportunities against a shaky City rearguard but the defence will face a far sterner test than against Schalke. The visitors' attacking resources are among the best and most creative in Europe.
There might be a case for the pace, drive and anticipation of David Luiz ahead of Gary Cahill, especially if the Brazilian has learned from his Cardiff error. He also knows how to score against Mancunians.
In Germany midweek, Ryan Bertrand remained on the bench as Cesar Azpilicueta, a right-footer, was rewarded for his bright cameo against the Welsh with a start in place of injured Ashley Cole. With Cole now fit, the most senior of the full-backs is expected to return.
Mourinho has the luxury of in-form strikers. With Demba Ba likely perhaps to start at Arsenal on Tuesday, the choice is probably between Fernando Torres, in his finest form for Chelsea, and Samuel Eto'o, who opened his account last weekend. Ba has scored against City for three different sides but lost on each occasion.
Offensively City have also been very efficient, offering a threat from all over the pitch, with the Argentinean Pablo Zabaleta sometimes approaching his form of two season ago.
They have not been so expert protecting the lead this season with individual lapses proving costly. Joe Hart does not present the impenetrable barrier of two seasons back, shipping nine in his last five matches.
The defensive frailties of the last 15 months haunted them again on Wednesday and they were fortunate to leave Moscow with all three points. For a tall team they can be aerially suspect and have conceded a lot of set-piece goals - two alone against Cardiff - but they also score from them.
It was an impressive victory for Man City at West Ham last weekend, especially following an international break. But it was only their fourth in their last 12 away top-flight games. They have twice lost 3-2 on the road and this is the third of four consecutive away trips for the Mancunians.
They cannot really blame the absence of injured Vincent Kompany for their struggles. Although none of his rivals for the centre-back role displays quite the same level of passing, positioning and professionalism, City have actually fared marginally better in games without their usual skipper this season.
In 283 minutes with him on the pitch the Citizens have conceded five goals in four Premier League games; over the 436 minutes he has been sidelined with groin injuries they have conceded one fewer. Kompany is again ruled out.
The least convincing replacement has been Javier Garcia, who in their 2-3 defeat at Cardiff and again in Moscow, struggled with the switch from his regular midfield role. He was dropped for the Everton game, with the more often benched Joleon Lescott stepping in.
Another experienced centre-back, Martín Demichelis, 32, has been on the treatment table since reuniting with Pellegrini, his former boss at Malaga and River Plate. Some reports suggest he could be available for Sunday.
At Upton Park right-back Micah Richards made his first start in place of Zabaleta since the disastrous 1-3 home defeat by Bayern but Aleksandar Kolarov - who played further forward against the Hammers - could revert.
Striker Edin Dzeko is another who has not seen much action since the successive defeats to Aston Villa and the European champions, but he offers attacking variation with his height and power.
More recently Pellegrini's preferred forward set-up has been Sergio Aguero tucked in behind Alvaro Negredo. Aguero made it seven goals in four games on Wednesday and the pair again linked cleverly.
Whether City have the same tenacious defensive midfield screen as when Gareth Barry and Nigel de Jong were available is debatable. In Gelsenkirchen Chelsea displayed just the kind of efficient counter attacking that can test Pellegrini's side, with Eden Hazard and Oscar in scintillating form.
The 4-4-1-1 formation Pellegrini has settled on (one he used successfully at Villarreal) might mean his side are outnumbered in midfield against some teams and they rely heavily on the powerful, mobile presence of asymmetrical centre midfield pair Yaya Toure and Fernandinho to handle that.
Toure on off days can allow the better teams to overwhelm City's rearguard, but at his best he trundles upfield like a wrecking ball. His Brazilian partner is more urgent, presses high up the field and has conceded the most fouls in his team. Fernandinho and Willian were goalscoring teammates for Shakhtar against Chelsea in last season's Europa League.
A key facet of City's strategy is to maintain possession in their opponents' half, building pressure and providing opportunities for the characteristic short through-passes that unlock defences.
Main exponents of those touches, David Silva and Samir Nasri, generally fill the two wide berths either side of Aguero while Jesus Navas is more of an orthodox winger. James Milner and Jack Rodwell are other options when a more hardworking and defence-aware presence is required.
Jose Mourinho praised the shape and stability John Mikel Obi provided when he came on against Schalke but Frank Lampard and Ramires have looked a good partnership in centre midfield for the Blues.
Meanwhile, Petr Cech quietly reasserted his claim to be the world's best goalie in Gelsenkirchen and makes his 301st Premier League appearance on Sunday, his 445th overall (see Milestones in the Stats Corner).

Fearless mum takes a dip with sharks to help domestic violence victims (From This Is Lancashire)
Fearless mum takes a dip with sharks to help domestic violence victims
10:05am Friday 20th December 2013 in News By Tui Benjamin, Reporter
A FEARLESS fundraiser braved the depths to go swimming with sharks.
Mum-of-two Tracey Snelling, from Outwood, took a dip with 35 tiger sharks, lemon sharks and nurse sharks – some as long as 14ft – and giant stingrays.
Tracey and her five courageous companions who undertook the daring challenge at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Ellesmere Port raised nearly £6,000 for Running4Refuge, which supports women and children fleeing domestic abuse.
She had never met her fellow swimmers until the day of the dive – with the team instead getting to know each other on social networking site Twitter and publicising their fundraising efforts using the hashtag #TeamShark.
Tracey, a former prison officer, said: "Running4refuge is what brought us all together.
"It all started one crazy night in June, when the idea of swimming with sharks was born and six brave ladies came forward.
"It was an amazing experience and most of all lots of money was raised for a very worthy cause – there are many generous people out there.
"#TeamShark would like to thank everyone, not only for their donations, but for all the support we have had."
Swimming alongside Tracey were Julie Anneda from London, Tracy Sparrow from Bristol, Katie Magnet from Surrey, Polly Poppins from Wigan and Angela Cossins from Chester.
Tracey was honoured earlier this year with the Charitable Act prize at the Tower FM awards because of her offbeat fundraising stunts.
Previously she has spent the night in a Victorian jail cell, completed a 200ft abseil despite being terrified of heights and next year plans to tackle a 20ft barefoot walk on burning coals.
Tracey says she has been "well and truly bitten" by the fundraising bug.
She added: "The bigger the better and the madder the better – it's all about giving something back to the community and to people who are unlucky enough to have to suffer."

For the first time ever, the new SunPac 2.0 system integrates the charging and discharging functions in a threephase inverter. This means an additional charge controller is no longer needed, which not only saves space but also results in greater efficiency. The three-phase connection enables the entire household, including major appliances such as a stove, to be powered using stored homemade electricity. If more energy is available than is currently required, the surplus power is stored in the battery. The battery is then discharged on all three phases in the evening and during the night, which results in a high degree of self-sufficiency.
The new PIKO battery inverter also features an integrated data logger which, in conjunction with Suntrol portal, displays the system yield, the consumption of homemade power and the battery charge level. The effort required to install the system is significantly reduced, as numerous functions are already directly built into the inverter. As an introductory offer, the system comes with a reliable lead-acid battery (VRLA). So with SolarWorld, you can take advantage of the development potential in the battery segment today – flexible and future-proof.
Product benefits Battery system SunPac 2.0
- Integrated homemade power control
- Simple, inexpensive installation
- Future-proof, as it has been constructed to adapt to new battery concepts
- High-quality lead-acid battery (VRLA) with energy management system
- 11.6 kWh of energy storage and 5.8 kWh of usable energy

The Black-and-Red had a special guest in the locker room after tonight's match. Lorenzo Alexander, a linebacker for the Washington Redskins attended the game, and joined the team after the match to celebrate the 1-0 victory.
United captain Dwayne De Rosario snaps a pick with Alexander in the team hallway:

D.C. United's goalkeeper Bill Hamid knows how to make an entrance. Untied's stellar homegrown product earned the 2013 season's first Save of the Week. The 22-year-old netminder made a spectacular save, denying Giles Barnes' one-touch rocket from inside the six yard box during Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Houston Dynamo.
Hamid earned 25% of the votes, beating Andy Gruenebaum of the Columbus Crew by 1 percentage point. The show-stopping save earned Hamid his first ever Save of the Week after multiple nominations for the honor.
2012 Rookie of the Year Finalist Nick DeLeon added some new, team-sprited ink to his right arm. The 22-year-old standout broke United's rookie regular-season scoring record last year, and now boasts a vintage D.C. United logo tattoo, showing his dedication to and passion for the Black-and-Red.
Do you share his passion? Show us your ink!
Chris Pontius is a man of many talents. His endless work rate and speed are the perfect combination for a midfielder. His finishing is that of a striker. But tomorrow, he wears a completely different hat. Pontius will present the DC Metro Area with their morning weather report on FOX 5.
Tune in at 8:15 a.m., to see the 2012 MLS All-Star MVP give it a go as a local weatherman. Then join Pontius and the rest of the Black-and-Red on Saturday at RFK when the team hosts Real Salt Lake in the 2013 home opener.
This morning, D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen joined DC 101's Elliot in the Morning show, take a listen:
In a Tuesday afternoon blog post on WashingtonPost.com, the Soccer Insider thinks that only 16,000 fans will pack RFK on Saturday night for D.C. United's home opener. The Insider called a sell out "ambitious," but I think fans of the Black-and-Red would beg to differ.
Following a run at the MLS Cup last year, D.C. United sold out two of its final three games and took back RFK, putting together an impressive 18 game unbeaten streak. In the Eastern Conference final, held at RFK on a blustery mid-November night, D.C. United had to open up additional seats for the Black-and-Red faithful to cheer on the team. 20,015 packed the house that night, well-surpassing the set capacity of 19,647.
Yesterday, at the club's 11th annual United for D.C. Kickoff Luncheon, Head Coach Ben Olsen said that "one of the things I'm most proud of from last year is that we became relevant again in this city and we gave our fans and new fans belief that D.C. is ready to compete again for Championships."
Despite a snowstorm bearing down on the Greater Washington Region, gametime weather for Saturday is expected to be 55 degrees and sunny – perfect conditions to make a trip to RFK with your family or friends. Click here to buy tickets and prove the Soccer Insider wrong.
A highlight from this past weekend's match at Houston was Bill Hamid. The young United keeper made a handful of spectacular saves, including one that he and defender Chris Korb doubled up for. The save earned Hamid a spot among the finalists for the MLS Save of the Week contest. Watch now and then vote for your Save of the Week!
RELATED: Spotlight on Bill Hamid
As in years past, this year, D.C. United Supporters Groups and fans are planning to take over Red Bull Arena. This year, the stakes are higher, the March 16 match will be broadcast live on NBC. All fans are invited, bring your friends and your family, you do not need to have a membership with any specific supporters groups. Full details about the trip below:

What do doctor's mistakes have to do with marketing?
I just ran across an article in the Wall Street Journal (see link below) about the biggest mistakes doctors make. I was struck by the similarity to mistakes made by marketers. True, marketing people aren't in the life or death business — even if it seems that way sometimes. However, recognizing pitfalls than can lead to bad outcomes should be a life-skill for marketers — as well as doctors.
The article cites 13 common mistakes. Two of them are particularly useful reminders to marketers. As you work to make good decisions, keep at least these two pitfalls in mind.
The article explains, "A tendency to act on incomplete information, institutions or hunches. Too much faith is placed in opinion instead of carefully gathered evidence."
So, who among us has not regretted an impulsive decision, one with reverberating effects? For example, the marketer who authorized promoting the Nova compact sedan in Spain with great fanfare. Only to discover that "Nova" meant "No Go" in Spanish. Oops. Some carefully gathered evidence would have been a good thing.
I remember a bank client of mine once decided, without any advance notice to customers (this was before the TISA regulations), to convert all their free checking accounts to $4.99 per month. This decision was made in reliance upon a profitability consultant with no consultation with anyone else — least of all the marketing department. My client put the change into effect within 24 hours of the decision. In the first 7 days, the bank lost 30% of those accounts, taking $7 million in deposits with them. Did I tell you the bank was a $400 million bank? Yes, a clear cut case of overconfidence bias.
This is defined as "The tendency for people on a medical team to believe and do certain things because many others are doing so."
We've all seen this happen a bunch of times. Most recently companies have launched major-big-time Facebook programs, mostly because one of their peers have done one. So, off they go with not a scrap of strategy in sight. Typically, the program bombs and all around the company you hear Facebook being roundly condemned. (This is an example of the article's "Fundamental Attrition Error." As in, the failure was Facebook, not us.)
What is needed is more careful, analytical thinking and less headlong decision making. Before pulling the trigger, take a break and ask yourself, "Have I really thought through the implications of what I'm about to do? Have I carefully considered all the outcomes? Am I prepared to live with the consequences (loss of market share, wasted resources, etc.) that may ensue?
We have to make decisions every day. Let's take a moment and be sure we're making a good one.
Want to talk over ways to make better marketing decisions? Email me with MISTAKES in the subject line. Remember, it never costs anything to share our experience.

Team Canada vs Team Norway Recap
What's the acceptable scoreline against Norway? Is 3-1 too competitive? Should we panic?
All joking aside, it was consistent dominance throughout by Team Canada. There will be some complaints about too little conversion of possession into more goals, but that's more of a testament to Norway goaltender Lars Haugen, who stopped 35/38 shots, as well as loads of blocked shots by the Norwegians.

More than 150 years old, the Gold Hill Hotel building was constructed in 1861, the same year Nevada became a territory. Originally known as "The Riesen House," the Gold Hill Hotel is the oldest operating hotel in Nevada and is currently owned by Comstock Mining.
As I travelled to the Gold Hill Hotel up scenic Geiger Grade (SR 341) on New Year's Eve, I was greeted by several majestic homes with Christmas lights and a stunning view of the Truckee Meadows and all of its lights. Driving through Virginia City at night is a real treat and I was welcomed by an endless array of Victorian-style black street lamps on both sides of C Street. However, the true nighttime surprise on this journey was the Christmas lights placed on structures throughout the towns of Gold Hill and Virginia City by Comstock Mining, especially the lights hung by the Comstock Geology Department on the New Yorker Head Frame.
Arriving at the Gold Hill Hotel, I entered the Great Room and was greeted by Clayton Mitchell, the Gold Hill Hotel Manager, who immediately made me feel welcome. The Great Room features a large fireplace, projection TV on a big screen and a well-worn, solid wood floor suitable for dancing and hosting a live band during the New Year's Eve celebration.
Behind the large fireplace is the Gold Hill Bar, which also features a fireplace in the corner surrounded by seating, or you can belly up to the bar and choose your favorite spirit. Be sure to sign a dollar bill and pin it to the ceiling for good luck!
Speaking of spirits, back in the Great Room, en route to the Crown Point Restaurant, I passed a wooden staircase that leads to the hotel rooms on the second and third floors. Purportedly and not surprisingly, considering the age of this historic structure, amiable spirits occupy some of the more popular rooms. In fact, several of the rooms feature fireplaces and/or balconies and the entire property has 18 rooms to choose from, including adjacent free-standing lodges with many amenities.
The crown jewel of this property is definitely the Crown Point Restaurant. On this past New Year's Eve, I had the pleasure of dining with Comstock Mining CEO Corrado De Gasperis as well as several other dignitaries. The restaurant feels original with a Victorian motif that is complemented by Squeek Steele, playing live tunes on the piano. Service was superb from Head Waiter Vic and his staff. The meal was delicious and replete with a table-side visit from Sarge, the Executive Chef.
This entire property will appeal to all of your senses: sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. And if you have a sixth sense, this property can accommodate that as well from several of the long-term "residents."
The Gold Hill Hotel can host your special event, including weddings. A picturesque drive on SR 341, the Gold Hill Hotel is only 27 miles from Reno or just 14 miles from Carson City. For additional information, call 847-0111. Visit www.goldhillhotel.net and Facebook for more history and great photos from the past and present.

Re: Cleaning Pistons
I've had a ring groove cleaner for years. I think I got at NAPA. It works great, just don't over do it, like flakes of aluminum coming out.
Know Your Cub, And Your Cub Will Know You.
Re: Cleaning Pistons
I have never had a problem with using the broken ring, I have a grove cleaner, the broke ring works better for me. The grove cleaner never seams to fit right on a cub piston. Break the oil ring to clean the larger oil grove. How ever if it has had replacement rings the oil ring may not work.Could be a springy think not an iron ring

Re: Cleaning Pistons
Ditto. I have a ring groove cleaner. Broken piston ring works great, just wear gloves since the ring edges are sharp. The oil ring groove may be a problem, depending on if it's a single ring or one with expander and spacers.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Cleaning Pistons
Okay all - considering what I've heard from ya'll - I'm gonna save the expense and go with Boss's suggestion for using a busted ring. I'll let ya'll know in 35 years how it turned out....

Re: Cleaning Pistons
Hi all,
I use a ring groove cleaner made by Performance Tool and it works great on the Cub pistons. It came with two insert cutters to fit most grooves including the Cub pistons. Granted that the groove cleaners are designed to work with larger diameter pistons but with a little finesse they really do a good job on the smaller sizes. They're less than 20 bucks most places and I think a good investment. I've used the old broken ring method too, it's just a little more work and, like mentioned before, many oil rings are not one piece cast rings.

Re: Cleaning Pistons
I use Boss method the only problem I ever had is cutting my finger from not wearing gloves
Jim Turner
Re: Cleaning Pistons
I see no mention of the piston material. Statistics say that it is likely to be cast iron, but aluminum is a possibility. The cleaning procedure should be appropriate for the material.
Many Cub owners are reading this and some of them do have aluminum. The electrolytes in an electrolysis setup probably will seriously damage aluminum.

I go t a public range (5.00 per day) or just out in the desert, just depends on my mood....
Been lurking forever, thought I would start a thread.
Where do you go to shoot and what does it cost you?
I usually shoot in the backyard or go to the sportsmans range at Camp Robinson. If you live in north little rock or near by, the sportsmans range is free. You can shoot everything from pistols to rifles. If youre not military all you have to do is get a pass at the gate and then sign in at the P.D. Its normally open Mon-Fri from 3:30p.m. to sundown. And all day on the weekends.
I go t a public range (5.00 per day) or just out in the desert, just depends on my mood....
I belong to a indoor range that cost about $200 a year for me and the wife.
My indoor range nearby is $10 per visit, or $15 for 2 people to share a lane. Membership is $300 a year! So, I just pay as I go.
I sometimes go to an outdoor range (like I did this weekend to shoot my PS90) - but its about 20 miles away, and is $8.50 to shoot.
The indoor range is SO nice in the summer.
Hey Woo, I live in Benton and usually go down towards Hot Springs. There's a little range down there on national park land that's free.
There are two private indoor ranges that I know of here in NWA. Both cost about $200 a year with a small charge each visit. At Hobbs State Park there is a free rifle range that is very nice but the closest the target can be set is 25 yards.
I go to a local indoor range. $300 per year. I bring the G/F on Mondays, when the ladies shoot free.
Targets: .20 for bulls, .50 for 1/2 size torsos...
I go out the front door, cost a whole lot more than $300.00 per year but it is 25 acres house and peace and quiet. In the summer time I can't even see my nearest neighbor.
Local indoor range run by the county. 4 separate ranges, 2 pistol, 2 rifle. One is 100 meters. $10 a visit, targets are $.25 or you can bring your own. $1 rents your a bench rest or a spotting scope.
I used to go to Hobbs quite often. It's too far a drive for me now. There is a public range near Clarksville that I haven't been to yet. I'll do Sturm's indoor range in Springdale after work sometimes as they are opened until 8pm weekdays. $10 each time, and I use the IDPA target for 65¢. Then I'll staple my 9" paper plates over the holes and use the same target for all 2-300 rounds. I'm looking into joining the Old Fort Gun Club. That would be $80 per year and they have a nice range from what I hear, and other activities I enjoy like silhouette matches and others.
Usually it's the range. A typical range day breaks down like this:
Range Fee $17 (non-member; membership's around $150 and knocks range fees to $8 so it's worth it if you shoot more than once a month)
250 rounds 9mm ammo $45 (Remington UMC; I generally use 150 and stock the leftovers for a rainy day)
4 addt'l pistol targets $1
1 additional "custom" target (silhouette or drill tgt) $1.50
I do various ranges of aimed fire with about 100 rounds, then spend the rest on whatever I think I need to work on, like double-taps, long-range marksmanship, mock-CHL course of fire, etc.
Last time I went shooting, however, I just went out and found the middle of nowhere. Found an open gate off an unpaved road into some land with an area that had obviously been used as a shooting range, loaded up and christened my new Buckmark outlaw style (It's the only way to shoot .22 ). Not sure it cost me any less though; it took half a tank of gas to get there and back.
I shoot at the Jefferson County Sheriffs firing range or at Dons Weaponry in Little Rock
I wasn't aware that Camp Robinson opened their ranges again to the public. I am retired military. Do you just go to Range Control to sign in?
Otherwise I shoot at Don's, is why I don't shoot as often as I would like.
I pay $150 a year for a membership to an outdoor range. Not fancy, but it has flop-down steel silhouettes and numerous other steel targets, including spinners, and a riflr range out to 500 yards. Members get a key to the gate and go during daylight hours, any time that there is not a match going on (IDPA, etc.).
Or I can pay ~$20+ to got to an indoor range, if it's raining, or if I want to use my laser sights.
I go out the front door, take a right through the yard right past the ice chest and shoot. I own 5 acres outside the city limits and can shoot or pee at will in my yard, god bless the USA!
American by birth, Southern by the grace of God!
Usually out behind the house. I hear there is a range not far from me, but I haven't been to check it out yet.
I guess I need to go check it out.
Diablo Canyon AKA Buckman Road...free, no people around middle of the desert off of a dirt road. Alot of crap out there Washers, water heaters...ETC. Fun place....It goes out forever, I setup targets usually containers with water 100 yards, 200 yards and 300 yards. Just watch out for the hippies, there is some sort of free love squatters camp about 5 miles away in the desert.
100 yard rifle range out in the county....about 5 miles away....free! Love the country living!
Hi Y'all
I use TWIN LAKES GUN CLUB just 11 miles north of Mountain Home, Arkansas.
It's $65 a year, pro rated for less the year at the quaters.
There are Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays or Rifle (various styles) Pistol (various styles) Cowboy Action ShootersMuzzle Loader and Archery.
So there is a great choice of weapons field available.
Hope to see y'all around.
Yours in service
James Acerra
GUN CONTROL is HITTING your TARGET
I head about 20 mintues north into the woods my grandma owns. It's open year round All I have to do is clean up the mess, and stop at the house on my way out.
I go to a range that is maintained by the Conservation Dept. in Pleasant Hope, MO. It's free (if you don't count the deer/turkey tags and hunting/fishing lisence I buy every year) and they are open from dawn to dusk Tuesday thru Sunday. Closed Mondays for clean up. They have a 25 yarder, a 100 yarder and a place to shoot clays. They also provide paper targets and duct tape!!!
I shoot at work!
we have a range in Van Buren ( www.thorgdg.com ) - it's $100 a year for an individual and $150 for a family membership.
There are a bunch of ranges where I live. At least 6 within driving distance last check. Most of them have some pretty ridiculous rules or fees though. For example most of them require full metal jacket ammo only. One range limits rate of fire to 1 shot every 3 seconds, and does not allow you to load more than 1 bullet at a time in rifles, except for .22 which you can load 5 rounds at a time. Another uses tokens like an arcade, charging $200 per year for membership, then you have to buy tokens that you insert into a token machine each hour for range time at a cost of $10-$15 per hour depending on how many tokens you buy at a time.
The range I use charges $10 per day for a lane unless you are a member, but their member fee is like $200 a year so I just pay per day. That may change once I start reloading my own ammo if I start going shooting as often as I am hoping to. Its not a bad indoor range, but the max range is only like 75 feet which makes shooting rifles there almost pointless IMO. The employees there also have atitudes, but so far it's the only range I found near me that will let me fire non-jacketed ammo which is what I am gonna be reloading once I get my press delivieerd by UPS.(hopefully today)
If anyone knows of a better range near Marysville, WA though I would love to hear about it.
There is a nice indoor range about 10 miles down the road. I think it's $10 an hour.
I go out the back door also. When it real cold or hot I will go to the Indoor range which is 25 miles away. Can't remember the cost but not unreasonable.

The prosecutors for the Calhoun County District Attorney's Office, school administrators and victims' advocates assured victims who might be listening that help is available, and that they are ready to provide it.
"My primary concern is the safety of the victim," JSU police investigator Sgt. Carl Preuninger said.
"I'm available if they need someone to talk to about those events if they happen to them," said Tim King, JSU's associate vice president for student affairs. "I just want students to talk to somebody."
The group had gathered for the live radio discussion Thursday because of an earlier conversation in the studio between Jade Wagner — JSU's student government president — and a radio host. In that discussion, held Sept. 22, Wagner, 21, told the host and audience that she was raped in 2012 by an acquaintance at a house on Lake Logan Martin. She also wrote an account of the incident — which she says she reported to police but which she chose not to pursue further — that has been widely circulated on Facebook.
"It was fear that made me write my story," Wagner said to an Anniston Star reporter Wednesday. "It was fear that pushed me because I don't want anyone else to feel this way."
In response, local authorities and victims' advocates came forward for Thursday's discussion, hoping that students and others might learn how they can respond if they've been or become the victim of sexual abuse.
"Victims don't have a handbook," said Susan Shipman, executive director of 2nd Chance. "It's a very complicated issue, and it's a very personal issue."
Almost 18 million American women have endured rape or attempted rape and 80 percent of those are under the age of 30, according to Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. And almost 3 million American men have been raped or escaped would-be rapists' attacks.
Of the rapes that occur in the United States, just 46 percent are reported to police, according the statistics compiled by the network.
Speaking to the college audience, Trace Fleming-Smith of 2nd Chance warned college students against blaming victims for the attacks based on their clothing, their actions or their location.
"Nothing a victim does warrants rape," Fleming-Smith said. "Rape is rape is rape, and it's never their fault."
The immediate response
Advocates and prosecutors emphasized that each sexual abuse case is different, but added there are general steps all victims can take to get help.
"It's up to the survivor what they want to do," Fleming-Smith said. "They should do whatever is best for them."
The first step victims should take is to share what happened as soon as possible so they can get proper medical and emotional attention.
They can go to police and say they need to file a police report. Or, they can go to the hospital to get a rape kit and decide to wait to go to police, or decide not to go to police at all.
In Calhoun County, victims can go to a room at Regional Medical Center, where specially trained nurses can help victims. But any emergency room should be able to help, Fleming-Smith said.
Fleming-Smith said law enforcement officials prefer that victims wait to shower, smoke, eat or go to the bathroom before undergoing a rape exam. But victims can go to the hospital for up to 72 hours after the attack because there is still a possibility that medical officials could collect evidence, she said.
Victims also have the right to have a sexual-assault advocate with them, she said.
"It can really be overwhelming and we recommend having an advocate from 2nd Chance there," Fleming-Smith said.
The exams are slow and can take two hours, she said.
"You want to make sure they're treated well and they can start or stop any time they want," Fleming Smith said.
The choice about whether to prosecute is the victim's, said Jennifer Weems, an assistant district attorney who prosecutes sex crimes. A victim can come forward and share her story with the police and still decide not to press charges.
"They can make the prosecution decision as they go," Weems said.
People who commit sexual crimes in Alabama can face a variety of charges, including rape, which is forcible intercourse; sodomy, which is oral or anal intercourse; and sexual abuse, which is inappropriate touching.
Convicting offenders for sexual crimes can be difficult, but it happens, Weems said.
The cases are challenging because sexual crimes often occur in isolation where there are no witnesses, she said. Still, forensic evidence, such as DNA found on clothes and other items, can help prosecutors secure guilty verdicts.
So can multiple victims, Weems said. When one victim speaks out against a perpetrator other victims sometimes surface, as has happened in highly publicized cases.
Weems' boss, Calhoun County District Attorney Brian McVeigh, said whether or not a victim comes forward is a personal choice. Sex offenders are likely to repeat their crimes and when victims come forward the perpetrators are less likely to hurt other people, he said.
McVeigh said one of the most important things a victim can do is to come forward. But, he said, prosecution isn't a victim's only option or the only reason they should share their stories.
"Just because you don't want to go through the legal system, doesn't mean you shouldn't seek counseling," McVeigh said.
Emotional help
Shipman's and Fleming-Smith's group, 2nd Chance, is a Calhoun County organization that provides shelter and support to victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence. The group also works to educate the community and to end sexual and domestic violence.
The group offers a 24-hour crisis hotline, shelter, food, clothing, legal support, counseling, support groups and transportation to individuals suffering from sexual abuse or domestic violence. For the community, 2nd Chance provides court advocacy and support, counseling, public awareness education, training, support groups and provides representatives who accompany victims to doctors' offices. The group's services are free.
Jacksonville State University, meanwhile, offers counseling services to students and the school's counselors assist sexual assault survivors.
Another option
Victims at public colleges and universities can also report abuse to their schools, which are required by law to investigate such cases. At JSU that responsibility falls to King.
"I'm an alternative," King said, adding that he can help students through the investigation process.
Perpetrators who work for or attend the university can face a range of punishments for sexual abuse, up to and including expulsion from campus.
2nd Chance's local crisis line is 256-236-7233 and the 2nd Chance daily office number is 256-236-7381.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro Hollow-Ground Nakiri Knife
- Online Only
- Summary
Everyday chopping, slicing and mincing are faster and more efficient when you use this classic Japanese-style knife. Echoing the shape of a traditional cleaver, the wide, ultra-sharp blade is ideal for prepping everything from fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs to meats and poultry. Hollow-ground indentations on the blade reduce friction and minimize sticking. The wide blade is also great for scooping prepped ingredients into your soup pot or salad bowl.
- Precision forged using Zwilling's Sigmaforge process, resulting in an exceptionally hard yet flexible blade.
- Zwilling's Friodur ice-hardening technique results in a harder, sharper blade that is corrosion resistant and highly elastic.
- Precise lasers are used to ensure each blade's edge is at the optimal cutting angle for maximum sharpness.
- Arched bolster perfectly supports the thumb for ultimate comfort, safety and precise handling. Also allows the full length of the edge to be sharpened, from tip to end.
- The sleek ABS resin handle is triple riveted to the blade and contoured for a secure, comfortable grip.
- Made in Germany by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, founded in 1731.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 6 1/2"-long blade.
- 5"-long handle.
- 9.5 oz.
- Made in Germany.
- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
- Maintain the knife's cutting edge by regularly using a honing steel.
- Sharpen knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
