In a few days a serious defect repaired tensor.
Fit my Gibson acoustic and Les Paul like a glove!
This is a great tool but be careful, it doesn't fit everything! Like so many tools in my shop it needed a little modification for one certain guitar but works like a dream on Les Pauls and SGs. Quality is excellent and here's to you StewMac for making the tools the rest of us only dream about making!
I used this wrench on my Tobias Growler. As a previous reviewer mentioned the bullet shape can create a problem. I could not access the truss-rod nut because the bullet shape hit the body of my guitar (the truss rod adjustment on the Growler is accessed where the neck and body meet). I had to use a grinder to remove the bullet shape in order to use this wrench. Once I was able to fit the wrench in place, it took some maneuvering to use because the walls were thick enough on the socket portion that they wanted to drag on the wood.
Overall a good wrench, but be aware that it may not work (or may require modification) for your specific application. It seems that this tool could be made better if the bullet shape were removed from the design.
I bought this for my PRS CU22. The quality was good, and reliable. But the socket was not appropriate to fit into truss-rod nut. If you see carefully to the photo, the part where the handle is attached looks like a bullet. Because of that, it cannot firmly fit into the truss-rod because it gets bothered by the wood of headstock. So I could adjust, but I made scratch marks on the truss-rod nut in my guitar.
I was setting up a Jackson GC-37BC it needed a lot of work when I got to the truss rod to make an adjustment none of my wrenches fit so I ordered the 9/32 from STEWMAC and it arrived quickly so I could finish the job ASAP for my customer. No Backorders Good Job STEWMAC ALL Your Tools A-1 Thanks
so much better than trying to fabricate your own wrench... worked great for me!
Bought for a semi stripped truss rod nut on a gibson bass. Perfect fit and perfect angle to get bite and enough torque for a smooth adjustment. Wrench is well made too.
These are great, especially for unusual truss rod nuts. Used these on an old Peavey DynaBass that I just couldn't get a conventional wrench to work on. lifesaver.
I needed the above wrench for a Gibson Epiphone 1993 Les Paul (korean) that I recently nailed on one of my commando missions to Middle Georgia Pawn. Stew-Mac was courteous, efficient and prompt. The guitar neck is now perfect. Thanks to the nice folks in Athens, Ohio.

Maine House Minority Leader Kenneth Fredette, R-Newport, Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty and Rep. Corey Wilson, R-Augusta, were part of a news conference about concealed weapons permits on Thursday at the State House in Augusta. Wilson has submitted a bill that would remove public access to the names of holders of concealed weapons permits.
Our form of government won't work in secret. We need the public's watchful eye to make sure that officials are doing their jobs correctly and to hold them accountable when they don't.
That's why this newspaper will never support moving government functions into the shadows by sealing public records, except in individual cases when release of the information would almost certainly cause harm.
So we can't be happy about the Legislature's and governor's decision to pass a temporary moratorium on the release of concealed-weapons permit information, but we recognize it could have been much worse.
There is a bill pending in the Legislature that would permanently hide all records of concealed-weapons permits. No public oversight would ever be permitted. That bill would have been a nonstarter most years, but a chain of events over the last three months seemed ready to change that.
First there was the tragic mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., which shocked the nation's conscience and gave new energy to advocates for gun control.
That fed the unjustified fear among some gun owners that the government would confiscate their weapons.
Then The Journal News of White Plains, N.Y., published the names and addresses of all the concealed-weapons permit holders in two counties, further stoking those fears.
In this heated environment, the Bangor Daily News requested information from all Maine agencies that issue concealed-weapons permits. The newspaper said it would not publish the information, but it became the focus of criticism anyway, and, under fire, it withdrew its request.
If a two-month moratorium lets people look at the situation outside this emotionally charged chain of events, it would be worth it.
Before they seal these documents forever, proponents should show evidence of the harm that disclosure causes. That should be easy, since this information has been public for decades. And they should explain why the public would be safer if it let the government do its work in secret.
Ultimately, this is not about press freedom or gun ownership. It's about public oversight of government, and lawmakers interfere with that essential process at everyone's risk.Tweet

While I was at the AWP conference, a ton of interesting books arrived in our offices, all worth writing about. I'll try and cover more of these over the next few weeks, but for now, I thought I'd look at the three titles translated from Spanish that caught my eye.
Rex by Jose Manuel Prieto is one of the spring books that I'm most excited about. Prieto's first book — Nocturnal Butterflies of the Russian Empire — earned him comparisons to Vladimir Nabokov, and it sounds like Rex is working in that same vein, as a "sexy and zany literary game rife with allusions to Proust, Homer, Pushkin, and even Star Wars, set in a world of wealthy Russian expats and Mafiosos who have settled in Western Europe." I talked to Esther Allen at some point when she was working on this translation, and I remember her recommending it highly. Even from the first paragraph it's evident Prieto has a special command:
I've been reading it for years, the one Book. Over and over without stopping. Beginning again whenever I reach the final description of the vast party, the inaugural ball, returning immediately to the first words, when he's dozing off in the house in Combray and dreams of stopping time in its tracks, solidifying it. I've opened it at random in ship terminals (Helsinki), English pubs, Istanbul cafes. Each and every time, without fail, I've been stunned by the intelligence, the penetration, the unique capacity to perceive things that escape every other writer. Always the right words, flowing out miraculously, as if he never had to stop and think about them, as easily and naturally as someone randomly humming syllables, nonsense noises, tra-la-la-ing a tune.
It's thanks to Monica Carter that I recently found out about Scarletta Press. (That and the fact that the director came to the panel I was on at AWP.) A relatively young press, Scarletta is doing a couple of translations this season, including Ignacio Solares's Yankee Invasion, a historical novel about life in Mexico under U.S. rule. The novel is written as a memoir-in-process by an old Mexican man haunted by his experiences during the "Yankee Invasion." Carlos Fuentes wrote an introduction for this novel, and Solares is one of Mexico's most respected — and prolific — contemporary writers, so this should be worth checking out.
And speaking of contemporary Mexican writers, I also received a finished copy of the Best of Contemporary Mexican Fiction anthology that Dalkey Archive is putting out thanks to a National Endowment for the Arts cultural exchange project. Edited by Alvaro Uribe (with the translations edited by Olivia Sears), this volume collects stories from sixteen Mexican writers born after 1945, including Cristina Rivera-Garza, Rosa Beltran, Juan Villoro, Daniel Sada, Guillermo Samperio, and Hector Manjarrez. I've heard elsewhere that a lot of these stories are Bonsai-esque, and I've been waiting to read a number of these authors for years, so I have big hopes for this book. The only thing that sucks (aside from the fact that Open Letter couldn't apply for this project) is the interior design: I'm all for bilingual poetry collections, but printing prose on bilingual facing pages—especially when the text on the two pages in no way matches up—is sort of bizarre and hard to read. Probably would've been cooler to have the English in the front and Spanish in the back, and vice-versa for the Mexican edition.
The historian John Lukacs observed, "Fictitious characters may represent characteristic tendencies and potentialities that existed in the past" and thus "may serve the historian under certain circumstances—when, for example, these are prototypical representations of certain contemporary realities."

Gustavo Faverón Patriau's The Antiquarian, translated by Joseph Mulligan, is a genre-blending novel, a complete immersion that delves into a lesser-used niche of genre: horror, gothic, the weird. There are visual horrors, psychological ones, and dark corners with threats lurking.. . .
What a wonderful, idiosyncratic book Weinberger has written. I say book, but the closest comparison I could make to other works being published right now are from Sylph Edition's "Cahiers Series"—short pamphlet-like meditations by notable writers such as Ann Carson,. . .

I agree, it's been re-hashed so many times.
(18 videos)
Again and again...I've seen this stuff
at least 5 times before packed in
sensation-seeking productions.
But why does Joe Esposito participate every time
and dig out all the old and sad facts?
He's a nice guy but what the heck?!
I agree, it's been re-hashed so many times.
I've got the DVD of the same name....that's the one with the interview including Sheila Ryan his ex girlfriend....Joe E. is certainly making the money off of Elvis.
I guess I'll just go with, If you can't say anything nice, don't say nothin at all. (my feelings are far to personal)
Thanks kay for sharing this clip, yep its all about the money with joe.
its interesting to watch, but seems to bring up alot of the sad and mostly negative facts about elvis.
Our man will never rest in peace. People will never stop coming up with anything for money.Although, this bitter reality is what makes the ELVIS legend survives the test of time. If people stop putting up things about him, then this could mean the end for our man but as long as there are people like those supposed to be friends and even relatives that enjoys the fruit of capitalizing on Elvis name for personal gain, the Elvis legend will lives on indeed a sad compromise for a talent like Elvis. Therefore, we are in for more of this kind of stuffs in the future. This is the price Elvis had to pay for being Elvis
Some of these things will always be around.
Because there's always new fans that have never seen it or heard about it.
There's a very old TV program I've tried to find for a few years; because I'd never seen it. A few months ago someone sent it to me .
Made my day.
I just try and skip over it, unless a specific question is asked that I can answer. Lisa had a few choice words she's said about some of these
Maybe the whole thing started with "Elvis: What Happened?" by Red and Sonny and I think Dave?
The book was labeled as evil but it really wasn't. They wanted to help/shake up Elvis and definitely didn't do it for money. I believe that those guys sincerely loved Elvis and cared for him.
I thought about it again and to me Joe Esposito seems kind of arrogant and stuck on himself and yeah Joe likes money...Elvis and Joe were "friends" for almost 20 years and now this?!
I just disagree with all that, Kay.
But, all have a right to their opinion.
Why do you disagree with all that, Cameron?
Could you please clarify.
Don't you think that Red and Sonny really loved Elvis and
still love him today? My dad knows somebody who talked to those
guys when she was in Memphis for Elvis week years ago and
she stated the same. Joe Esposito appeared arrogant but maybe
he just had a bad day?!
Well, I don't think their book was "evil"; just mean.
They didn't write that book to help Elvis .
Read what they said from the beginning. They did it because they were mad . They held a "hurried " press conferene because EP died so soon after it was made public & tried to make themselves look good.
Don't see how they "loved" Elvis to hurt him so badly.
I believe what they said at the beginning: "the book was written out of anger and bitternes. "
None of the MM were any friends I'd want.
They all do what they do because of the money...all of them.
I agree with you Cameron and nothing they say today change change what and why they did it $$$$$ (The same reason they do it today) Dovey
Get Him, get him~~Hot D*** ~~ he's a Squirrel!
The only correction I have to make is that some of them have made so little money by speaking. Given that, what would their motives be.
I dont think it is about money with Joe. Remember he was there when red west wrote that book so he knew the damage it had done. so for him to do the same thing i dont think so. Remember too it was joe that got to elvis first, as a bodyguard, when Elvis collapsed. It was Joe Esposito that tried to resussitate Elvis. Elvis trusted Joe the most and im am not qustioning Elvis' judgement.
Yes maybe there are too mant tell all books. Maybe if Elvis had spoke for himself we wouldt need em.
I love you Elvis.
Red, Sonny and dave wrote that book when they were angry with elvis so i believe some of the details were a little exagerated through that anger. If they let themselves cool down they wouldnt have been so bitter and a lot of the deatails wouldnt have been so revealing. Elvis was no saint but for those three to betray elvis out of spite is wrong. Yes they loved elvis but they stabbed him in the back. They had no right to tell us all what happened. its none of our buisness. Elvis was Elvis. Dont condemn him for the bad stuff he did. remeber the good stuff we all have two sides to us. Elvis did things his way. Love him as he is or not at all. I love him through and through. Elvis was not a dollor sign he was a human being
So, it's all about the money is it? Hmmm. Interesting that Red, Sonny and Dave knocked back a lucrative offer not to publish What Happened, isn't it? More money than they would ever have made from the sale of the book.
But facts like these tend to get hidden, don't they?
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly

Use the "Limit to" options in the right-hand column to further narrow your search results. E.g., the "Item" option in the "Hierarchical Level" limits results to the individual or item-level descriptions (i.e., a single map instead of a group of maps).
It is recommended that you always use "Any Keyword" in the Keyword field when searching.
Because the publication dates of maps can be uncertain, you may wish to avoid using the "Date" text box; instead, enter dates into an "Any Keyword" text box to improve search results.
Keep in mind that the databases contain descriptions of historical documents. You may need to use expressions and words whose meanings have changed over time to improve your search results.
Great War, European War, First World War, World War 1
Klondike, Klondyke
Be aware of changes in place names.
Fort Frontenac, Cataraqui or Cataracoui = Kingston, Ville-Marie = Montréal, Bytown = Ottawa, York = Toronto
Publishers of older maps often changed French place names to an English equivalent.
Île-aux-Grues changed to Crane Island, Pointe-Lévis changed to Point Levi, St-Jean-sur-Richelieu changed to St. John's
Map Series:
When searching for a specific title from a map series (such as the 1:50 000 NTS or nautical charts), it is recommended that you search by the sheet number or the individual title.

Thats what she says, but its not like she was waiting around for a nigga
She told me that she really did want to see me, but she didnt think Chris would have relayed the message, and even though he did, she for damn sure didnt think I would come. I told her to be careful what she asks for and she just smiled at my statement. mmm I was thinking
It was hard as shit for me not to let that slip out my mouth when it ran across my mind. I dont what it is about dimples, but I love that shit on a woman
We were actually only a couple feet away from car when she pointed out where she parked, so I walked her the rest of the way. It was clear to me that she still wanted to give me the ass, but I wasnt finna ask her about it I knew she would make her move. Patience is key. She had a nice little Porsche though, I didnt see how she could be driving that due to where she worked, but that wasnt my business or my concern.
Baby unlocked the door with the car remote and reached for the handle, but I grabbed it before she could. She just smirked at me as I held the door for her to get in. I know it wasnt much, but just cause a nigga was a little drunk dont mean Im not a gentleman. Once she got in the car she rolled down the window and was like
Girl: get in
I knew I shouldnt have been in the car with baby girl, but the way she demanded me in like that had me turned on. My conscience was telling me naw, but my dick dragged me right into the passenger seat of shawty car. I dont know why I was thinking about how comfortable the seats were at that time, but I was, and it smelled like them black ice air freshener jawns. It was right

Unless you majored in microeconomics or have a subscription to the Wall Street Journal, you might be puzzled as to why this country is in a recession and why people are occupying city parks across the U.S. and who are the 1%. Fortunately, Tay Zonday, the YouTube sensation that gave us the pseudo-smash "Chocolate Rain" four years ago (73 million views and counting!), is back to explain the current economic crisis. In "Mama Economy," Zonday — along with his 8-bit beats, incredibly strange haircut, and deep baritone voice that would make Barry White jealous -- breaks down how this nation found itself in financial turmoil.
"This is how money is created from air… Bank bailouts? Federal budgets? Money isn't really there. It's an I.O.U. Remember, dollars are a promise," Zonday sings/raps/speaks, "When you borrow from a bank, it's not from other depositors. The money for your loan gets created on-the-spot, then they put it in your name, gamble on your life and body. But if you lose your job, then you were a bad bet. If a million lose their job, then we have a recession." Well, that explains everything. Who cares if it doesn't rhyme; this song is so much easier to understand than Too Big to Fail.
Bummed out by Zonday's gloomy portrait of the recession? Here's an adorable baby who's crying spells can only be stopped by Big Poppa:

Whereas artificial insemination has contributed immensely to the genetic improvement of farm animals, embryo transfer has also proved to be a powerful technology, primarily for propagating the genetics of females of superior pedigree. In cattle, particularly in the dairy industry, breeding programs were developed that aimed to promote genetic progress by strategic use of elite females through multiple ovulation embryo transfer (MOET) programs. In addition to conventional methods to produce embryos available for transfer, new technologies that produce embryos after cloning by somatic cell transfer or transgenesis are currently available but not yet widely used commercially.
Embryo transfer protocols have also been extensively used in research critical for the understanding of several areas of biology and medicine, such as fetal-maternal interactions, models of human and animal diseases, production of transgenic animals to produce therapeutic proteins for people, etc. However, the following discussion is restricted to the principles and methods currently used in commercial embryo transfer of farm animals. Except in horses, embryo transfer programs in most mammals include the administration of drugs that superovulate females to allow the probability that multiple embryos will be collected per procedure.

Welcome aboard!Take some time to get settled in your stateroom. A champagne welcome will be followed by an evening stroll to the sea lock with wonderful views over the Moray and Beauly Firths.
The 8 passenger Scottish Highlander has the atmosphere of a Scottish Country House with subtle use of tartan furnishings and landscape paintings.

The experienced crew of four, led by your captain, ensure attention to your every need. Cuisine is traditional Scottish fare, salmon, game, venison and seafood, prepared by your own Master Chef.
This morning you visit the 14th century fairytale Cawdor Castle immortalised by Shakespeare with Macbeth, housing a superb collection of tapestries, pictures and furniture with beautiful landscaped gardens. If Cawdor is not open you'll visit Fort George, the finest example of 18th-century military engineering you'll find anywhere in the British Isles. This vast garrison fortress was begun in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden (1746), which crushed the final Jacobite Rising. You'll also visit Culloden Moor, site of the last battle on British soil in 1746. The cruise today takes you up the Muirtown lock flight and through Tomnahurich swing bridge, with an option to walk alongside the delightful River Ness to the hamlet of Dochgarroch.
A tour today drives you through stunning hilly scenery to take a closer look at one of Scotland's best known exports, whisky, at the Glen Ord distillery founded in 1838 on the Black Isle by the Mackenzies of Ord. A fascinating description of the maturing and aging process of single and blended malts is followed by a special tasting. You also visit the Clava Cairns, a pre-historic clan chieftain burial site dating back to 2000 BC. Your cruise today takes you through Loch Dochfour past the Burton family estate and down the world famous Loch Ness with perhaps a chance of spotting "Nessie" before arriving at Fort Augustus.
After breakfast, you encounter some of the finest scenery Scotland has to offer as you take a drive to one of Scotland's best known and most photographed castles, Eilean Donan, which has featured in movies such as "Highlander" and James Bond' "The World Is Not Enough". The idyllic setting betrays the castle's tactical importance as it also overlooks three sea lochs. Later your cruise will take you up the "flight", as the locals call it, at Fort Augustus. This evening you have dinner ashore at a local restaurant.
In the morning you again encounter some of Scotland's bloody past with a visit to the ruins of Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness. A short film explains some of the history from St Columba's day to the present with a spectacular finale. A gentle drive takes you back to the Invermoriston Falls and a chance to see the "Old Bridge" designed by one Thomas Telford and if you are very lucky you may even see a salmon leaping. The cruise today can again be partially walked and will take you all the way through stunning Loch Oich and onto the Laggan Avenue, often described as the prettiest part of the canal. Approaching Laggan, a Highland Piper greets you with a stirring rendition of traditional Scottish music.
Visit the mystical and ethereal area called Glencoe, known for its geographical beauty and famed for one of the darkest days in Scottish history. If time permits, you'll also visit the ruins of the 13th century Old Inverlochy Castle, the original site of a Pictish fortress said to have been attacked by the Vikings. The cruise today will see you sail along Loch Lochy, and you'll encounter Moy Bridge, the last original and fully hand-operated bridge on the canal, before mooring at Banavie beneath Ben Nevis and a stroll from Neptune's Staircase leading down to Loch Eil.
This morning you'll disembark from your barge, bidding your captain and crew farewell as you make landfall.
Upon disembarkation, you'll be transfered by minibus back to your initial meeting point.

I just want to thank you for a wonderfully organized vacation and barge experience in France. We were pleased with every aspect of our vacation and will definitely recommend your company. We will also certainly recommend our exceptionally capable, pleasant guide in Paris. Waffa Lenky navigated us with relative ease through the crowded tourist attractions. She was knowledgable and fun to be with. I gave this trip a 10.

"Dear David,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac.
Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule.
We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas).
The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly.
Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures.
From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?"
Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future.

"Hi, David,
We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. We did not encounter anyone else at all from Kensington Tours although there were a few "groups" on the ship. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well.

Jon Langford Here Be Monsters LP
2014 $14.95
"When they didn't know quite what was there, they put Here Be Monsters. When I think of where my career has gone over the last 35 years, it's usually in that area – off the map."--Jon Langford
Here Be Monsters finds acclaimed musician/visual artist Jon Langford and his band Skull Orchard scanning the outskirts of popular culture, its title born of medieval cartographers' term for the dragons, sea serpents, and other mythical beasties that reside beyond the boundaries of the known universe. This new album will feature a unique piece of artwork specific to each track printed on individual inserts included with copies of the CD. Best known for his work in the The Mekons and the Waco Brothers, Langford has been a leading pioneer in the assimilation of folk/country music into punk rock since the genre's first evolution over 30 years ago.
The album sees the Welsh-born, Chicago-based singer/songwriter, bandleader, producer, painter, and poet plotting a clear-eyed, sharp-elbowed course through such far-flung subjects as alternative hierarchies and astronomy, perpetual war for perpetual profit, the culture of detachment, middle age, fatherhood, fame, and the fleetingness of love. "The subtext of the album is maybe the things our civilization thinks of as fixed and immovable might actually be redundant/obsolete/discredited and it's up to us to question and find new rocks to be washed up on…," says Langford, who called in Mekons/Waco Brothers veteran Mike Hagler (My Morning Jacket, Wilco, Neko Case, Billy Bragg) to record this album at Chicago's Kingsize Sound Labs. "Skull Orchard used to be a fairly solitary activity – songs that didn't fit anywhere else – stuff that was too Welsh or personal to bother the Mekons or Wacos with," says Langford, "but something happened with the band I formed to tour with the previous record. It turned into a real group, so this is much more of a band project than any of the solo things I've done before."
Also known for being a prolific visual artist, Langford designed all the artwork for Here Be Monsters himself, including individual designs for each track that will be showcased on separate inserts in the CD and in a collage on the LP jacket. "This album really brings the art and the songs together – a chicken/egg which came first situation. The songs are very visual and in some cases came directly from the paintings," continued Langford. "Star maps, strange creatures, sympathetic monsters, monsters we have created – the little poem at the top of the album is all about that."

Yesterday afternoon, Southern California hired a new football coach. Washington's Steve Sarkisian — who ironically served as co-offensive coordinator with Lane Kiffin while both were on Pete Carroll's Trojan staff — was the man tabbed by USC AD Pat Haden to turn around his school's fortunes.
Sarkisian took over a UW program that had gone winless in 2008. His five year record with the Huskies:
2009: 5-7 (seventh in conference)
2010: 7-6 (tied for third in conference)
2011: 7-6 (third in division)
2012: 7-6 (fourth in division)
2013: 8-4 (third in division)
Sarkisian's overall record was 34-29 and 24-21 in the Pac-12, having never finished higher than third in the North Division or third (in a tie) in the league. Would that impress you?
That, of course, is the problem with consistently turning over coaches. Boosters stop giving, fans stop attending, schools fire their current coach and then… roll the dice again on another up-and-comer.
Southern Cal is one of the wealthiest schools in the country. The administration was reportedly ready to break the bank. But Boise State's Chris Peterson said no (as he always does) and Haden tabbed a man who knows the USC and Pac-12 landscape. Sarkisian isn't a bad hire, but his resume doesn't wow anyone.
Fans of Southeastern Conference teams — always thinking that Jon Gruden is just around the corner — need to remember how hard it is to find the right "next" guy when the current guy gets tossed. Example: Some Mississippi State fans want rid of Dan Mullen. Well what big name is waiting out there to replace him? Bobby Petrino (who most ADs would not trust to be honest with them)? Gruden? Or another coordinator or young coach from a small school? Granted, some times those hires work out. That doesn't mean the young pup is any less of a risk than the guy currently at the controls, however.
Looking around the SEC, here's who hired whom and from where…
|Nick Saban
|Miami Dolphins
|Alabama is a top five job and Saban wanted out of the NFL
|Bret Bielema
|Wisconsin (68-24)
|A rare big school to big school move
|Gus Malzahn
|Arkansas State (9-3)
|Malzahn had been a head coach for one year
|Will Muschamp
|DC, Texas
|One of the most sought after assistants in the country
|Mark Richt
|OC, Florida State
|A promoted assistant who's worked out well
|Mark Stoops
|DC, Florida State
|Kentucky went the coordinator route last year
|Les Miles
|Oklahoma State (28-21)
|Another big school to big school move
|Miss. State
|Dan Mullen
|OC, Florida
|MSU grabbed the O-coordinator from a BCS champion
|Gary Pinkel
|Toledo (73-37-3)
|An up-and-comer when hired in 2001
|Ole Miss
|Hugh Freeze
|Arkansas State (10-2)
|A head man for three years at ASU and in the NAIA
|S. Carolina
|Steve Spurrier
|Carolina landed an unemployed master fired from the NFL
|Butch Jones
|Cincinnati (23-14)
|Jones had six years under his belt at Cincy and C. Michigan
|Texas A&M
|Kevin Sumlin
|Houston (35-17)
|Sumlin was a hot up-and-comer when hired
|James Franklin
|OC, Maryland
|Franklin had been the Terps' coach-in-waiting at one time
Of the big names that moved, Alabama got lucky with the Saban situation as they would not have lured him directly from LSU. Carolina had some luck in the availability of Spurrier, too (who Florida could have rehired).
Bielema wanted out of Barry Alvarez's shadow at Wisconsin. And Miles was just 28-21 overall, 16-16 in the Big 12, and his four-year resume was as follow: 4-7, 8-5, 9-4, 7-5. Hardly jaw-dropping results.
Even a school with the recruiting base of Florida had to hire two coordinators and a man from Utah in its last three searches. Tennessee — a top 10 program all-time — hired a young ex-NFL coach, then a man with a losing record at Louisiana Tech, before finally landing their current up-and-comer.
As the Sarkisian-to-USC move reminds us, coaches rarely trade one BCS-level job for another. Just keep that in mind as you grumble about your school's bowl plight or SEC finish this holiday season.

Many of the commentators following the event likened it to a boxing match. Since I had a brief career in the squared circle, I would have to agree with them. Romney was on his toes all through the evening while Obama seemed sluggish and motionless. Even his famous "rope-a-dope" of inane protestations of how wonderful he is and what impossible dreams he can achieve were sadly lacking.
As boxing in the Army, when I competed, was limited to three 3 minute rounds, the simile is very appropriate since we have two more Presidential debates to go. With one of those matches to concentrate on foreign policy, Obama seems even more vulnerable than he was last week. Following the recent murder of our Ambassador in Libya, the subsequent uprisings in the rest of the world and the President's failure to call it an act of terror, it would seem he is wide open for a haymaker from Romney.
Another pundit last week referred to the debate as a football game that Romney won by at least two touchdowns. Interestingly enough local expert Professor Fred Lokken, a political science teacher at TMCC, agreed with 2 percent of the people polled when he said that the debate was a draw. Apparently, the sound was turned off on his TV set. Even the major left-leaning networks gave a nod to Romney.
Al Gore, who incidentally invented the internet, said the altitude was the reason for Obama's lackluster effort.
Back to the boxing match comparison, I was reminded of the time that the German challenger Max Schmeling took on the highly favored World Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis and scored a tremendous upset. Whether or not Obama can come back as Louis did in the rematch is a matter of speculation.
According to all the polls taken the morning following the debate, Romney was a two-to-one winner. They bore out the prediction by New Jersey's Chris Christie that people would think differently about the challenger after the face-to-face meeting with the President.
There is no question that Romney's performance re-energized the Republican base. One of the most glowing tributes he received was from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who couldn't have been more enthusiastic in his praise for the Governor.
Body language experts were in unison about the petulant demeanor exhibited by the President during the entire debate. Obama seemed to be on the receiving end of a lecture from Romney. On Thursday morning, even David Axelrod, Obama's senior advisor, had to commend Romney's performance with the caveat that a performance does not indicate he will win. Numerous other Democratic-leaning soothsayers attempted to spin the fact that Obama had not lost so decisively.
Unfortunately for the President it was also a very sorry way to celebrate his 20th wedding anniversary. The champagne following the debate that he and Michelle likely imbibed probably tasted more like vinegar to them.

Prince William, a Royal Air Force search-and-rescue helicopter pilot, will be deployed 8,000 miles away from home, at a base in the Falkland Islands, a British colony off the coast of Argentina. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.
LONDON -- As Prince William prepares to head 8,000 miles from home to serve as a helicopter pilot in the remote Falkland Islands, the traditional "Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves!" refrain seems rather far-fetched.
Britain's naval fleet was once twice the combined size of its two closest rivals. But austerity cuts have seen billions of pounds vanish from military budgets. Even the Royal Navy's flagship aircraft carrier hasn't been spared -- HMS Ark Royal was sent to the scrapyard last year.
Tensions have been increasing between Argentina and the U.K. as the 30th anniversary of their 10-week war over the Falklands approaches. Argentina claims sovereignty over the British-ruled islands, which are about 300 miles off its coast in the South Atlantic.
'Provocative act'
Britain's oil prospecting on the seabed near the islands has added fuel to the fire. Buenos Aires has condemned such exploration as illegal. There has also been a war of words over territorial fishing rights and President Cristina Fernandez has pledged an "eternal fight" to reclaim the islands.
Britain has ruled the Falklands for more than 180 years.
When Prince William's posting was announced by the Royal Air Force, one Argentine official described the move as a "provocative act."
Reuters reported that Britain's National Security Council discussed the islands' defenses on Tuesday.
Prime Minister David Cameron subsequently accused Argentina of "colonialism" in its claim to the Falklands, saying Britain was committed to protecting the islands and insisting that people there should be allowed to decide their own nationality.
"These people want to remain British and the Argentinians want them to do something else," Cameron told lawmakers.
Florencio Randazzo, Argentina's interior minister, later described Cameron's comments as "totally offensive," Reuters reported.
Olympic protest?
Even this summer's Olympics in London appear in danger of becoming entangled in the spat. Some Argentine athletes have discussed plans to wear a logo on their uniforms stating: "The Falklands are Argentine."
According to The Associated Press, Britain maintains about 1,000 troops in the territory, which is home to about 3,000 people.
Lasting 74 days, the 1982 conflict ended with 258 British lives lost and six ships sunk. The cost to Argentina was even greater: 649 killed with 11,313 others captured. Its navy lost a submarine, a cruiser and 75 fixed-wing aircraft.
Some now wonder if the Royal Navy would be able to respond to a similar overseas crisis today.
When asked if Britain would be sending an aircraft carrier to the Falklands during Prince William's military service, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense told NBC News: "No, we don't have one." HMS Ark Royal was decommissioned in March.
The aircraft carrier Invincible, Britain's flagship vessel in the Falklands war, has been put up for sale to raise money in the face of impending military budget cuts. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
The Ministry of Defense spokesman pointed out the Falklands boast a "well-defended airfield with Typhoon aircraft."
But Admiral Sandy Woodward, who commanded the task force that liberated the Falklands' British population from Argentine occupation in 1982, believes the islands "are now perilously close to being indefensible."
Major General Julian Thompson, the brigadier who led the initial British assault 30 years ago, told NBC News he believed that if Argentina invaded the islands now, the U.K.'s military could not get them back without an aircraft carrier.
He dismissed reinforcement by air instead of sea as "sheer nonsense."
"We certainly won't get over-flying rights or basing facilities within range of the Falklands – assuming the Argentines have taken the airfield and destroyed the Typhoons there," Thompson added.
So how powerful is today's Royal Navy? Critics highlight that when Russian ships were spotted off the Scottish coast last year, Britain could only send the aging frigate HMS York on an 800-mile journey from a base in England.
Two under-construction aircraft carriers are behind schedule and won't be ready for about another decade.
Bearing that in mind, might Argentina be prepared to move beyond rhetoric when Prince William's presence draws the world's attention to the Falklands beginning next month?
One thing appears likely. Before his six-week tour of duty, William will have surely discussed the Falklands war with his uncle. Prince Andrew was a helicopter pilot during the conflict.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BabyGirlWiggins Never Disappointed Always thoroughly satisfied with anything I've ever gotten from Bass Pro Shop...to date these 2 items are my favorites***** The only thing that I would say needs to happen is Augusta Georgia needs a Pro Shop.. I alone would probably keep y'all in business*** And I would like 2 work there as well★★★ October 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by HDannyT Worm Haven Nice little setup... My GF and both our daughters hate getting their fingers dirty. I get fat happy worms, they get less mess on their fingers. A win win. May 17, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mascon This is the ONE!!! I have used this worm habitat for keeping and breeding all my Canadian Night Crawlers. So far they have multiplied and thrived in this unit in the past six months. I feed them Magic Worm Grow every 3 days with just a small amount on top (Bass Pro Shops didn't have the food Fat and Sassy available.) Don't worry the worms will find the food just fine. I turn the container over to keep air in the bedding about every 3 days The worms seem to like this since they need to breathe! I keep mine in the fridge at about 45-50 degrees. Fortunately I'm divorced and don't have the hassle explaining all this to a wife. The unit is very well constructed and should last many years. Like any pet though you have to feed them and make sure you don't leave the box out uncovered too long. They die a 65 degrees. Buy one you'll be glad you did. January 22, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rex1 ok for bait worms I wish they would tell the customer the 'special' bedding smells of ink and I presume is mulched newsprint. (i found corners of pages in it). The reason this is particularly important to me is I bought this to store crawlers and raise them for my pet bass. The crawlers eat the bedding so ingest the ink. I hope it's not toxic to bass whether they be caught and released or people's tank pets. Other than that it seems an ok product. November 27, 2010
