Most confusing post of the year award.
Ok here it goes I got a harmon SF 260 and need to know if the stuff the dealer gave me is right. I got 1 1/4 galvanized to go from top of boiler 18" to a T off T with supply one way, the other to crossover. 1 1/4 copper stright up 4' to a 90 then to a flow control valve on to a honeywell AP 401. Expansion tank under 401, air valve above. Then to heat exchanger with a 3/4 in and out back 13' with 2 90's to pump. Pump is a 009-BF 5-J Taco 1" in and out to 1 1/4 galvanized at boiler. This seams to be a lot of down sizing going on.Is the 1 1/4 to big or will it be of no problem.I am going to make the system bigger next year with another heat exchanger in the 30 x 40 garage.

Most confusing post of the year award.
Sorry didn't mean to do that but this thing got dumped in my lap and I want to make sure before I start that when it is done there will be no problems down the road.My main concern is the 1 1/4" to 3/4" at the heat exchanger and the pump. The water to air handler is up on ceiling in the garage. Is this pump ok to do the job or will it cause a wash efect at the down size points? I am new at this as you can tell. Just need help getting it up and running so will explain things as we go that I didn't do a good job of if I can.
It's fine. What's a washdown effect?
I suggest getting a book called, "Pumping Away" by Dan Holohan, and maybe posting a diagram so folks here might have a better idea what you are up against.
The book will pay for itself in short order!
Washdown was not a good way to put that . Sorry made a mess of it. Going to take it one step at a time. Going from 1 1/4" to 3/4" with the Taco 009 as the pump. Will it cause a erosion problem at the 3/4" opening on the coil/heat exchanger? Coil made of copper at the 3/4" opening. Or is the flow so low no pressure build up will go on at the two 3/4" down sizing points, the other being at the pump. Also the expanshion tank size I will need help on to. For the book, just where is a good place to get it and will it cover this kind of stuff. I built this house 28 years ago, and did all the ele. and plumbing also. I am a DIY type of dude, so doing this is no problem as far as doing the work, just making sure it is done right and the know how is what I lack. This is going to be the main heat till I get this remod on the house done. LP and old wood burner is out and gone. LP will come back later but as a boiler to. Thanks Dan
Reducing is fine and done all the time on hydronic piping systems.
Ok Thanks. Now I can get things rolling.

Will property taxes ever be eliminated?
I love this time of year. Along with flowers, signs pop up like lilies along the roads, with names we hardly recognize, seeking our vote.
As I think about the years gone by, I can't help wondering why some things have been on the table for so long without a resolution. One such problem was, and still is, property taxes.
This was a hot item in 1973. Our legislators were pushing a bill to reduce the rate of property taxes by increasing the rate of the earned income tax, which has always been one percent on wages and profits since the tax was enacted in the late 1940s. Forty years ago, when wages seemed to be growing and homes were aging with retiring owners, the best tax base was for the employed to pay more in support of local services and education. But then came the realization that real estate lasts longer than an individual's ability to earn income due to disability, retirement, layoffs or death.
The issue of local taxation had been beaten to death until, around 2000, there was a demand for slot machines in Pennsylvania with the accompanying suggestion that the profits from gambling would reduce or eliminate property taxes. Many people worked hard to encourage our governor and legislators to look beyond their noses and give property owners of this state the relief they had been searching for since the 1970s.
Before the first dollar was made, an appointed committee set the stage on how slot revenues could be used to support schools. This committee, with paid members, found reasons to let other needs claim a portion of these revenues. Now, property owners, not business owners, find their annual school taxes reduced by such a small fraction you can hardly recognize the savings.
Taxpayers in Washington County are going to face a reassessment one of these years. As was the case in 1973, real estate is much more stable than taxpayer income. While we have to appreciate all those who play the slots, one has to be honest – we didn't get all the revenue we thought we would get. So much money is filtering through Harrisburg, and the taxpayers continue to dream. From blinking lights to Marcellus Shale "pipe dreams," will property taxes ever be eliminated?

The Lady Yellow Jackets outperformed Gadsden City in every way Thursday in a 10-1 win. They collected 12 hits, and pitcher Jordyn Skinner allowed only three hits.
"You want to come out in area and win the first couple of games and not get in the losers' brackets," Oxford coach Wendy McKibbin said. "But we have to take it one inning at a time."
The big win puts Oxford a win away from clinching a spot in the North Regional in Huntsville for the fourth straight season. The Lady Yellow Jackets' first chance to earn a bid comes today against Clay-Chalkville at 3:30 p.m.. Clay-Chalkville is the only area team to have beaten Oxford this season.
"Every time we've played them it's been a hit fest. We just have to out-hit them," McKibbin said. "We've got to win one more to get there then worry about winning it outright."
But in the game against Gadsden City, Oxford's domination grew as the game went deeper. After a run in the first inning, the Lady Yellow Jackets added three in the second behind a three-run home run from Lexie Higgins.
Although pitcher Jordyn Skinner had an unearned run tacked on to her line, she settled in afterward, putting Gadsden City down in order all but one of the final four innings.
"An eighth grader pitching varsity is really big," McKibbin said. "But she's done a good job for us all year."
With Skinner cruising on the mound, Oxford took a 4-1 lead in the fifth and turned it into a blowout, adding four more runs on four hits, including a home run by Jenn Turner. The Lady Jackets would add two more in the sixth behind Stewart Gail Chase and Makenzie Trantham.
"We struggled early hitting, but made some adjustments in the fourth inning and started hitting better," McKibbin said.
Haley Lyner, Morgan Whaley and Trantham each had two hits and an RBI. Skinner earned the winning, allowing three hits and striking out six.

Hunzeker unveils proposed county budget
Date: May 28, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Manatee County Administrator Ed Hunzeker today put forth a $497 million net budget for next year, which is $33.7 million less than this year's budget due to significant declines in revenue.
"As in years past, we are continuing to downsize government," Hunzeker told Manatee County commissioners. "We'll probably continue to do so for the next few years."
Declining property values have resulted in a $16 million reduction in property tax revenues. As a direct effect, nearly every taxpayer-funded program and activity will see belt tightening.
The county was able to avoid large-scale workforce and service reductions by employing reserves and by spreading cuts. Hunzeker said the commission's past decisions to save money are helping "immensely" in avoiding significant service reductions to the community.
Manatee's constitutional officers, including the Manatee County sheriff, worked with the county reducing their budgets by about 5% next year. A total of about 100 positions have been eliminated, including 82 positions from the county administrator's budget and about 20 from constitutional officers' budgets.
The county administrator recommended budget reductions based on priorities and spread throughout county-funded programs and services. The recommendations do not stretch any program to a point at which it could not continue.
It is the second year of Hunzeker's zero-based budgeting plan whereby each Manatee County service and program was broken down into a series of decision units. Top priorities are funded first, and greater levels of service are approved if funding is available.
The Manatee Board of County Commissioners will address the finer details of the budget during a series of workshops in June. The public will have its best chance to weigh in on the budget during a public hearing scheduled for 6 p.m., June 18.
The County Administrator's 2009-10 budget message can be found at www.mymanatee.org.

Here's the arrangement, dear Jaded Android Gamer - you will pretend you have zero interest in FarmVille, and we will pretend not to judge. Instead, we're even going to provide you with this tidbit of news: FarmVille 2 is coming to Android phones and tablets soon, with an early version already available for testing in select regions.
Well, you knew it was going to happen sooner or later. No sooner was s-off packaged up for the masses, than a flashable ZIP was created to turn the standard Sense-laden M8 into a Google Play Edition device. This process is not for the faint of heart – you could break things and render your phone useless. For the brave or foolhardy, read on.
The hundreds of minor league baseball teams across the US offer a great way to spend a day at the ballpark without the expense, and sometimes the travel, of going to a full MLB game. The MiLB, as it's called, is getting some much-needed attention on the app front this week, as two new apps have been published in the Play Store to support the various farm teams. Both MiLB First Pitch and MiLB Inside The Park mirror their big league counterparts.
There's nothing like a completely open device if you really want to tweak things and flash all sorts of ill-advised software. HTC isn't going to make it easy, though. Getting s-off is necessary to do all that fun stuff, and now the recently released Firewater tool has been updated with support for the M8.
Computer security is important, even if the computer in question fits in your hand. There should be no doubt about that fact. However, you should be just as wary of security software as any other app. Case in point: there's a slick new app in the Play Store called Virus Shield. It's got a cool look and it's easy to operate. Just press a single button and your virus shield is activated.
"Because the history of computing has taught us is that data will not be contained. Data breaks free. It expands to new media, crashes through barriers; painfully, maybe even dangerously. But, uh, there it is… Data finds a way." - Jeff Goldblum as Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Gift Shop)
When we last left our favorite removable storage device, OEMs had begun adopting Google's policy for restricting write access to SD cards.
If you want a Chromecast, you probably already have one - that's kind of the point of pricing something in the range of an impulse purchase. The early supply issues have been worked out, new and updated apps with Chromecast support are practically flooding into the Play Store, and Google's tiny streamer has even made its way to Europe. But if you're an American who refuses to pay retail, you'll be glad to know that the Chromecast is once again on sale for $29.99 at both Amazon and Best Buy.
Tasker is the Swiss Army knife of Android power user apps. In fact, that comparison hardly does Tasker justice: it's like the software offspring of a Swiss Army knife and a Tricorder, with an optional Sonic Screwdriver attachment. The much-loved automation and scripting engine got a huge update today to version 4.3, with a list of new features, bugfixes, and small changes that's far too long for us to cover in total.
Occasionally, an OS update will bring around features that really change things. Android 3.0 brought the Android experience to tablets. 4.0 completely revamped the UI and added guidelines that made Android look cohesive for the first time. 4.4 added Svelte, which promised to seat Android comfortably on an even broader range of devices. We have reason to believe another one of those changes is right around the corner, and it's known internally as Hera.
Regular slate tablets are not for you. No sir/ma'am, you demand flexibility and utility from your electronics. Lenovo's Yoga line might be more accommodating for your needs, since it uses a unique chassis that combines a kickstand, an ergonomic handle, a massive battery pack, and a pair of stereo speakers into one bulbous side of the device. Today's Best Buy deal of the day is the 8-inch Yoga Tablet, on sale for $70 off.

Respected friend, loving husband
Aug. 11, 1989 - Jan. 26, 2012 Nicholas James Garbarino
Published: Tuesday, April 3, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 20:07
An adventurer at heart, Nick Garbarino could make the dullest moment fun and entertaining. More than once he and a buddy took a couple of canoes down to the Brazos River with nothing more than a water filter and military rations.
Nicholas James Garbarino died January 26 after a battle with cancer. Before he died, Nick was married for a little more than a year-and-a-half to Andi Garbarino. Andi said she thought of Nick as the most intelligent and imaginative man she has ever known, but also one of the most humble.
"It didn't matter if you weren't even half as intelligent as him, you still felt like you were important and could totally be yourself around him," Andi said.
Nick was the kind of person who saw people for who they are, loved them and listened to them.
"He was the most wonderful husband a girl could ask for — he took good care of me and loved me well," Andi said.
Nick and Andi were camp counselors when they met at Camp Peniel, where Nick was a favorite to all the campers and known as "The Captain."
Nick loved everything about camp. He wanted to work at Camp Peniel full-time, though he would have been a shoe-in at FMC Engineering, where he was hired as a student engineer his junior year. Even Nick's appearance was campy.
"[He] was scruffy, and fairly menacing. The children, though, saw right through that exterior to the man who loved them, and they loved him back, shadowing and idolizing him," said Nick's father, Richard Garbarino.
Nick's father met many of Nick's friends during his son's battle with cancer. Richard said he was struck by the diversity of those who visited Nick in the hospital, as well as at the funeral where more than 600 paid their respects.
"They shared with me their view of my little boy as a man that was loved and respected — a man who made an impact on their lives and the world around him," Richard said. "I cannot express how much it meant to know that Nick's life, though short, was full, and full of meaning."
Nick was also a man of strong, definite beliefs. In his father's words, these were not mere philosophies, but convictions that guided his actions.
Nick was a follower of Jesus Christ, and saw the complexity of the universe as inconsistent with the random, natural cosmos theorized by current science.
"Nick believed in the God of the Bible, and that God has chosen from mankind those to be His own. Nick counted himself in that number," Richard said. "While not fatalistic concerning his illness and death, Nick reluctantly accepted that his situation was part of the grand plan of his sovereign God."
One of Nick's close friends, Garrett Kaiser, and his wife, Hannah, married at age 19, not unlike Nick and Andi, who were married the day before at age 20.
The two young couples were part of the same community, living across the street from each other, and Nick was quick to invite the Kaisers to his married couples Bible study.
"Nick was a life-breather, and by that I mean that Nick constantly lifted the spirits of those he was around," Kaiser said.
Nick was thoughtful and respectful of others, though he stood for what he saw as right, even if unpopular.
"As probably the most honest and blunt person I knew, Nick really knew how to make people take a step back and look at reality how it really was," Kaiser said.
Celeste Garbarino, Nick's mother, said Nick loved to discuss his political opinions with anyone who would take the time to debate with him.
"He was passionate about trying to change our government for the better," Celeste said. "He was patriotic and proud to be a Texan and an Aggie."
Nick's life will be honored during Silver Taps at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday in Academic Plaza.

Naples Players
701 5th Ave S, Naples, FL
TheatreZone / G & L Theatre
13275 Livingston Road, Naples, FL
Gulfshore Playhouse at Norris Community Center
755 Eighth Ave. S., Naples, FL
If they suggest it, they will come.
That's the lesson Gulfshore Playhouse founder and artistic director Kristen Coury learned when her company staged "Beau Jest" last season.
"Beau Jest," a James Sherman comedy about a woman who invents and then hires a boyfriend who will please her family, was the best selling show of the 2009–10 season and in the company's four-year history, Coury said.
Coury selected the show after a patron suggested it to her. Until then, she says, she had not heard of it.
Keeping the audience in mind is fundamental to how theater companies pick their seasons. While some theater companies formally survey their supporters, the informal flow of feedback works just as well for others.
"Being a community theater, we get a lot of communication and response in what we do," said Dallas Dunnagan, artistic director of the Naples Players. "I'll get two or three programs a month for shows that are recommended."
Dunnagan said she annually pulls together a committee to read 35 to 40 scripts and recommend their favorites. The committee's selections are made for up to two years in the future. Dunnagan selects the season based on those recommendations.
At TheatreZone, artistic director Mark Danni surveyed patrons at the end of the last season. The survey listed eight potential shows and a write-in option. "Fantasticks," a musical by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones about what happens when two fathers plot to have their children fall in love, received the most votes and opens Danni's upcoming season.
The last time Danni surveyed his audience, he said "Jersey Boys," a musical about 1960s rock group, The Four Seasons, was a popular write-in. That told him two things: He needed to educate his audience on the availability of rights, and he needed to find another piece about the same era.
When shows are on Broadway or major national tours, regional theaters cannot acquire the rights to perform them. "Jersey Boys" started its Broadway run in 2005 and is still playing there. There is a touring company production as well.
So instead, TheatreZone performed "Leader of the Pack" and "Hair," two shows set in the 1960s.
"That seemed to be hitting a nerve with people, that whole era," Danni said. He's brought back the 1960s for the upcoming season with "Beehive."
There are also the recurring requests that aren't possible because they require more space, such as "The Lion King" and "The Phantom of the Opera," Danni said. TheatreZone performs in the G&L Theater Building, an intimate 250-seat space.
How recently a show has been performed in the area and the last time the company performed a show are also important considerations.
Whether it's a 10-, five- or two-year embargo, the hope is to bring theatrical diversity to the public.
"I love for all of us to provide different products for our audience," Dunnagan said.
Occasionally, seasons overlap. The Naples Players and The Florida Repertory Theatre in Fort Myers are both staging "Sylvia," a comedy by A.R. Gurney about the antics of a dog and the couple who adopt it. In fact, they're both staging them in January.
The love of theater doesn't change it from being a business, either. The economic downturn has affected the considerations of theater companies.
The selection of "Tuesdays with Morrie" was a response to the economy, Coury said.
The play has a cast of two and requires a small production staff, making it easier on the company's budget. It's also familiar; it's based on Mitch Albom's best-selling memoir about his relationship with one of his college professors.
"People know it, they've heard of it," Coury said. The familiarity, she hopes, will help to attract the audience.
At The Naples Players, Dunnagan also chose the season with the economy in mind. Her response, she said, was an emotional one.
"I think we chose a much lighter season this season and next season because we want to lighten everybody's load a little," she said.
The upcoming season includes Paul Rudnick's comedy about marriage, "Regrets Only"'; Neil Simon's comedy about a party gone wrong, "Rumors"; and Jeffrey Lane and David Yazbek's musical comedy about two con men fighting for turf in the French Riviera, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."

Deputy City Clerk Jessica Baca was born in Apple Valley and raised in Barstow.
She attended Henderson Elementary School, Barstow Middle School and graduated from Barstow High School in 2005.
She is currently a student at Barstow Community College studying Business and works for the City of Barstow, where she is an administrative assistant/deputy city clerk in the City Clerk's Office. She also serves as the advisor of the Barstow Youth Advisory Council.
Q: Describe a special memory you have in Barstow.
A: I have numerous special memories in Barstow. One that stands out is from December 2009 when I took the youth council members Christmas caroling at Desert Manna, Barstow Retirement Plaza, Comfort Care Center and Rimrock Convalescent Home. It was a touching experience to be able to bring some holiday cheer to the needy and elderly of our community by unexpectedly showing up with smiles and songbooks on a cold winter night.
Q: What do you do in your free time?
A: Some of my hobbies include: Drawing, painting, writing poetry, skateboarding, singing, dancing and spending time with loved ones.
Q: If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
A: More love and less hate.
Q: If you could change one thing about Barstow, what would it be?
A: I would like to see more businesses come here and stay here long term. It would create more opportunities like jobs and activities for its residents, and I think it would make people more productive and positive about the future of Barstow and raising their families here.
Q: What person, living or from history, would you most like to have dinner with and why?
A: I'd like to have dinner with Stevie Nicks. She's an amazingly talented singer-songwriter, but I also just find her fascinating as a person. I'd ask her all about her life and what inspires her, but also commend her for her philanthropic endeavors. She's the Queen of Rock and Roll in my opinion!
Q: Who is someone who had a big influence on your life?
A: My grandparents have influenced my life immensely. Without their love, support, guidance, discipline and generosity, my life would be completely different. They mean the world to me and I feel tremendously fortunate to have them in my life.
Q: What talent do you most wish you had?
A: I wish I was musically talented. If I could play an instrument or sing well that would be nice.
Q: What is your favorite quotation?
A: "If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams, and you will always look lovely." – Roald Dahl
Q: What words of advice do you have for the next generation?
A: You are the future so value your health and your life. Be a leader and not a follower!
Q: Tell us about the charities or causes that are close to your heart and why.
A: The Barstow Youth Advisory Council is definitely close to my heart. I became the advisor of the BYAC in 2009 and working with them to promote youth involvement in the community over the last few years has truly been rewarding. It feels nice to be able to give back to the community in the ways in which we have. The best thing about being involved with the BYAC is getting to know the local young people who strive to better themselves all around and have an eagerness to learn and grow as leaders. It's pretty inspiring.
Another cause that is dear to me is the "Who I Am Makes a Difference" International Organization. It is a non-profit organization that hosts Blue Ribbon Ceremonies, which enable people to express their appreciation, respect and love for their children, parents, teachers, friends, neighbors … pretty much everyone. Over the years, the ceremonies have impacted over 35 million people worldwide and have been translated into 11 languages — saving lives, eradicating bullying, and helping dreams come true in the home, school and workplace. To know more go to www.acknowledgmentmovie.com.
Q: What is something you are particularly proud of?
A: I am proud to be my sister Jen's twin. She's a beautiful, strong, and overall amazing person! She's undoubtedly my best friend. We have a special kind of relationship and I feel blessed to be her double.
Q: What's your favorite movie and why?
A: "Jawbreaker." It reminds me of fun times with one of my good friends. It's a dark, yet comical movie with a lesson about karma.
Q: Tell us about your favorite thing about living in Barstow?
A: That it's a pretty tight knit community where most people know and support each other.
Q: What is the best thing about your job?
A: The best thing about my job is that I learn something new every day, whether it's about the history of the city or what's currently happening. I also have the privilege of working with some really great people who have a strong passion for the community and work hard at their jobs to make Barstow a better place.
Q: What book had a significant impact on you?
A: "The White Horse" by Cynthia Grant.
Q: Of all the places you've been, what's your favorite and why?

A: I'd like to travel to Hawaii because of the beautiful beaches and year-round ideal weather. Not to mention everyone who I've talked to that's been there has nothing but great things to say about the experience.
Q: Tell us about one thing you want to accomplish in life.
A: I'd like to be a mother some day.
Q: What's your favorite place to eat in Barstow?
A: That would be Del Taco of course! It never gets old.

Research Statement
Dr. Xie is currently principal investigator of the biostatistics and data management core for two NIH-funded neurodegenerative disease research centers: the Alzheimer's Disease Center and Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Disease Research Center of Excellence. Dr. Xie's current research goals are twofold. First, she continues to develop methods for measurement error problems, survival analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis in response to methodological problems arising in her collaborative work in the research of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's disease & Parkinson's disease), as well as other collaborative research. She has developed new methods to reduce the biases of relative risk estimators in Cox regression models in the presence of covariate measurement error. She has also developed new methods to estimate true exposure/outcome variables using measurements from multiple instruments with systematic biases and non-constant variances. Second, she continues to develop techniques and markers to better understand the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. As a primary example, Dr. Xie and colleagues examined the rate of decline in Alzheimer's disease measured by a dementia severity rating scale (DSRS). She found that the rate of decline was linear using this rating scale. This linearity has significant advantages for clinical trials. Treatment effects in a trial would be seen in the DSRS as a slowing of the linear rate of change during some or all stages of the disease. This is much easier than evaluating estimated treatment effects in a measure that does not change linearly.
Awards and Professional Recognition:
Dr. Xie was the recipient of the 1999 Young Investigator Award of Statistics in Epidemiology Section of the American Statistical Association and the 2005 recipient of the University of Pennsylvania Graduate Program in Biostatistics Teaching Award. She has been an elected standing member of the National Institute of Aging Alzheimer's Disease Center Data Core Steering Committee since 2007 (Chair during July 2008 and July 2009). Dr. Xie is currently a senior editor in Alzheimer's & Dementia.

Chris Walker walked into the post-game press conference on
November 1 following the Red Raiders 88-63 victory against University of Texas
– Permian Basin in an exhibition game and jokingly said he was happy to
get his first win as a head coach, although it wasn't official.
On Friday, Walker got to walk into the post-game press
conference and sit down and officially claim his first win as the interim head
coach of the Red Raiders following an 89-79 victory against Prairie View
A&M inside the United Spirit Arena.
mean it's a great feeling Kirby (Hocutt) gave me the game ball, in the locker
room and the guys clapped it up for me," he said. "That's the first thing I did
was thank my player because like I told them this will be etched in stone I'll
always remember you guys no matter what happens in my lifetime. It's gratifying
to have been on that journey for such a long time and now to finally get your
chance and get your first win, it's just something you always dream about and
now that it's happened I want number two."
a slow start for both teams to the game, tied 7-7 after five minutes and 23
seconds had already ticked off the clock, the Red Raiders (1-0) were able to
get their offense clicking.
went on a 12-2 run, powered by the three-point shooting of Jamal Williams, who
finished 4-for-8 from behind the arc chipping in 15 points on the night.
had fun," Williams said. "Coming from a JUCO to here is a big difference. I
just played my heart out tonight, gave it my all."
a while it looked as though the Red Raiders were going to steamroll the
Panthers after extending their lead to 20 points, 51-31, with 3:09 left in the
first half.
Prairie View A&M (0-1) would battle its way back closing the first half on
a 7-0 run.
run would continue into the second half, Panthers getting within six to the Red
Raiders on the scoreboard with 11:20 left in the game, after that Tech was able
to hold off the multiple runs by the Panthers for the 10-point victory.
the loss, Prairie View A&M head coach Byron Rimm II said he was proud of
his guys considering the injuries to some of his main players.
was quite proud of our guys, it was a lot of our guys first division I
basketball game so I was very happy with that," he said. "We are a lot better
basketball team, we had a little adversity from some of the foul calls, some of
our bigs are overly aggressive their first game, so we kind of figured that was
going to happen but our guys did a good job."

per game last season, and Demondre Chapman, who chipped in 8.4 points per game
last season.
the Red Raiders, there were four different players to break into double digits
in scoring with sophomore forward Jordan Tolbert leading the way.
finished with a team-high 16 points and seven rebounds, and even when the
Panthers got a little to close for comfort Tolbert said the team held together
felt like we had to stick together to overcome that," he said, "it was a tough
point in the game, it felt like we weren't getting calls, but that's what it's
about sticking together and coming out with a victory."
Now the
Red Raiders have just a few days to prepare for their next test against
Nebraska-Omaha on Wednesday and Walker said there were some good things that he
took away from this game and some things they still need to work on before the
next time they lace it up.
I did like about game one is that we got the win. I also liked the fact that we
were ahead again and just like in the exhibition game we had to fight through
some adversity," he said. "We got seven new players, we got two freshman and
two guys who are primary ball handlers that have never played at this level and
we played against a very experienced team. They grinded it out and once again
we almost scored 90 points again and that's something we want to do.
in the second half we need to limit our turnovers and I think we got a little
careless in the second half and we just have to work on our focus."

DALLAS — The following health seminars at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas are part of Advances in Medicine, an ongoing initiative to inform local residents about the latest treatments for common health problems and raise awareness about current medical issues.
Each session is free and includes a light dinner. To register, call 1-877-THR-WELL (1-877-847-9355) or go to TexasHealth.org/Advances.
"My Aging Brain: Exercise is Medicine for Your Memory"We've all forgotten a name, where we put our keys, or if we locked the front door. It's normal to forget things once in a while, but what if it's happening more often?
A panel of experts on the aging brain, dementia and other neurological conditions associated with aging will discuss what happens to the brain as we get older. The free event will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, in the Fogelson Auditorium at Texas Health Dallas (8200 Walnut Hill Lane, Dallas, TX 75231).
The audience will also be encouraged to get involved in clinical trials that are helping scientists find out the best methods for detecting and treating neurological decline.
"Could You or Someone You Care About Have Lung Cancer?"Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death and the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of breast, colon and prostate cancers combined. Please join Dr. Mark Pool, a cardiovascular surgeon on the medical staff at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas and Dr. Bijal Modi, an oncologist on the hospital's medical staff, as they discuss lung cancer screening and prevention. They will also lead a brief discussion on the surgical and medical advances in the treatment of lung cancer.
The event will be held from 6 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 6, in the Beasley Conference Center at Texas Health Dallas (8200 Walnut Hill Lane, Dallas, TX 75231).
"Oh Baby! Tackling Infertility"For many, deciding to have a baby is a happy and hopeful time, yet for about 15 percent of those eager couples, efforts at conception can prove disappointing. The chances of conceiving a baby can be brighter. Come join Dr. Satin Patel, an OB/GYN on the medical staff at Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas, as he discusses the treatments and techniques that can help couples overcome infertility and the number one cause of female infertility, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
The event will be held from 6 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 7, in Beasley Conference Center at Texas Health Dallas (8200 Walnut Hill Lane, Dallas, TX 75231).

1216 E Brady St, Milwaukee, WI | Directions 5320243.052957 -87.896243
Neighborhoods: Lower East Side
So I had to call the police on the bouncer working there. I am a grad student and avid producer and I played a show there with about 17 supporting friends that paid an extremely high cover of $11 just to hear local music. Long story short, the bouncer didn't like EDM music and demanded that I take down a table from the stage at the end of the night, which all DJs were using to set their equipment on. I decided no, considering the revenue the bar made, amounting to about $300 from my friends alone. He was drunk and blocked the door as we were leaving, and a power struggle ensued with threats to beat the s*** out of me, leading me to call the police in order to exit the venue. Apparently I am a "beanie-wearing f****** hipster" because I didn't move a table. Not to mention the place is a dive and the sound system was pretty bad. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE BUSINESS. There are establishments that really do care about local music and don't GET OFF on ripping musicians and their friends off.
Booze and blues mingle in this smoky joint that advertises its popularity with a wall of famous performers' photos. – The Scene
This pub proclaims itself the blues capital of Milwaukee on its front windows. The marquee confirms the claim; Big Jim Liban, Otis Rush, Hudson, Blues Harp Jimmy and Milwaukee Slim have all played on the pub's stage. The century-old, long, narrow pub has a high ceiling, hardwood floors and an antique wooden bar. Smoke dances around the throngs of music lovers, young and old.
The Draw
More than 20 beers are on tap, with plenty of microbrews from local breweries like Sprecher and Lakefront. There's also Guinness, Harp, Bud and Miller. Need a cocktail? Plenty of the hard stuff awaits at the full bar. Decent pub grub is available, but people really come to smoke, drink and listen to great music. Anything else is just a perk.

Not every college-bound high school athlete knows what school they'll be signing with when the fall National Signing Day passes in November. A few more don't know the answer when the winter signing day rolls around in February.
The list of local athletes who have made their intentions known since winter signing day is available, however; some were still up in the air as to where they would play next season, while others had made a verbal commitment but had yet to sign.
A national letter of intent is a contract between an athlete and a college. The student agrees to enroll at a specific school, and that school agrees to provide financial aid. There are eligibility penalties if an athlete later enrolls at another school, unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Bass Pro Shops® Baby Crack Craws
- Head-turning action
- Two large flapper claws
- Two twister antennae and a torso full of crawly legs
- Infused with salt and 8up scent.
Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by desaulniers good for small mathou y dont ave so moche fish whit tise jig but some time y ave a very nice chalange with big bass and 3 wall eye but the action of the jig is very graet September 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fishngamer Bass Pro Shops® Baby Crack Craw Review We like the Baby Crack Craw and recommend it. It has superior attention grabbing action and the largemouth bass in our lake pounced on it repeatedly. Smaller than it's parent the Crack Craw, we found hook rigging it (even with the smaller hooks) did a little more damage to the baby crack craw than we would have expected. The damage seemed to shorten the life of the bait more than we would have thought. But overall, it catches fish and that's the whole point of a good bait. Best of luck and keep it reeling! August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kachok A+ OK I have to give this one an A+, great action both T-Riged and weightless. Caught several bass on it today including one small one that I pulled in completely unhooked! That is right he held on to my lure all the way to shore the hook never went through the plastic! They must REALLY like the way this thing tastes. November 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by USNE9RETIRED Crack Craw I've been testing several different types of finesse baits and the more I use the crack craw the more I like it. I've been using it with my drop-shot and this little creature bait has out performed any other finesse type drop-shot bait that I've used in the past. It's especially effective on smallies in deep water. I would recommend anyone drop-shotting to give this little creature bait a try. July 11, 2012

In 2004, Churchill began a five-year journey to investigate the notion of faith through conversations with people across the country.

Early Works will be an exhibition that examines the naive imagery made by contemporary photographers when they were children. There early images often reveal surprising talent, visual intuition, and honesty.

This exhibition will b a close look at photographers' earliest works, paired with personal narratives about the images and their role in each photographers' development as an artist.

Seattle >Farwest Taxi
2450 6th Ave, Seattle, WA | Directions 9813447.580976 -122.325774
M-Su 24hr
Neighborhoods: Industrial District East, Greater Duwamish, Industrial District (East)
WORST CAB COMPANY EVER!! – For over 70 years Farwest Taxi has been a transportation leader in the Seattle/King County area. We led the way as Seattle's first computer dispatched taxi company and we're still leading the way with GPS in every taxi which will assure you of fast, dependable service from our courteous drivers, 24 hours a day. Join the growing list of satisfied Farwest Taxi customers for all your transportation needs...
LOL...this company is by far the WORST company ever. They have rude customer service agents and their drivers aren't better. The customer service agents talk to you as if you owe them something and the drivers drive you with attitudes. All the reviews for this company were all negative. I can't believe they've been in business this long. Their best service must've been 70 years ago when they opened up. And now I think it's time for them to shut down. They are NOT dependable, and DEFINITELY NOT curteous...customer service SUCKS, drivers SUCK, and COMPANY SUCKS!! Call anyone but FARWEST SOON TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS TAXI!!
FarWest Taxi – I work in hospitality industry, This company is not dependable at all , when you have already schedule a night before for a 3:30am pickup they dont show up and after you call to comfirm with dispatcher she replys with guest name and knows we need a wheelchair accessible van she decided to send a small passenger car that shows up at 4:06am..is out of the question. For those who work in the hotel industry dont used this company at all call someone else that you feel more comfortable and that actually cares on how to run a business not like this one...they dont care about disabled person all they care about is how to nickle and dime other passengers....
Most of our trips occur without any problems, but that obviously wasn't the case for your trip. Often problems with communication cause these problems.
Needing a wheelchair accessible taxi at 3:30am will sometimes be a challenge for us. The call-taker who initially took your call should have told you that this might be an issue. I'm sorry that we didn't provide timely service for your guest. We have many customers who have been using Farwest for years and are very happy with out service, whether it's a trip to SeaTac airport or a trip to a medical appointment.
General Manager
Undependable Liars – I called Farwest for my girlfriend. The dispatcher said "20 minutes". 15 minutes later, the driver calls and says "I'll be there in 5 minutes". 15 minutes later, no taxi still, driver won't answer the phone, dispatcher tries to claim that "oh we couldn't find a driver for you", and had no answer for "so why did the driver just call me a while ago?"
Working theory is that the driver recognized the place as being where someone has used Taxi Scrip before (low-income assisted fare - not allowed to tip or somesuch), and decided to take a better paying passenger, leaving a disabled person standing on the street in the cold with no ride.
But maybe it was less specific and they're just generally flaky rather than evil. Either way, avoid them.
not dependable! AVOID AVOID AVOID – I called Far West the night before I was leaving for the airport in the morning. When the taxi was 5 minutes late to my house, I called dispatch and they told me they had no taxis available! I had to scramble to get another taxi company to my home. Luckily I didnt miss my flight. Avoid them!
Horrible Experience With Farwest Taxi – On Saturday, April 10th I decided to visit my brother in Everett. I left Tacoma at 7:15am by way of the #577 bus from Federal Way and arrived downtown Seattle at about 8:10am to discover that the bus stop where I'd need to catch the #510 Express to Everett is closed long term due to construction. Being unfamilar with Seattle, I walked around to perhaps find an alternate stop and noticed a #510 coming my way. This bus passed me and continued on down to Olive and made a right, so I assumed that the next stop would be somewhere that direction. Because I was carrying a heavy suitcase and completely full military bag along with other shoulder bags, I was totally weighted down and knew trying to lug that stuff no telling how many blocks would be murder. I spotted a LINE of Farwest Taxi Cabs across the street (I'm thinking it was 4th & Union) and struggled my way over to the lead cab in line. The driver was reading a paper and having a conversation with another driver in the back seat drinking coffee. Sweating and aching from hefting all that luggage, I asked the driver if he were available and told him that all I needed was a ride for a few blocks to find the nearest #510 stop to catch the express, letting him know that I'd pay him $7 bucks or whatever for a few blocks of driving. His remark to me was, "How is $7 worth my time?" I was stunned. This guy was doing NOTHING, and wouldn't drive me a few blocks for $7? I obviously had more, but how foolish an exchange would that be? The guy then tells me that what I really need is to go to the "NORTHGATE" transit terminal, and that he'd take me there for $25.00!!!! I asked him how far it was away and he wouldn't answer the question. I asked him once more to take my original offer since it was beyond fair, and he told me that I'd have to walk. I was so flabberghastted at this lazy, greedy human being that I wouldn't have bothered to ask another Farwest Taxi driver to assist me, and so went looking for a Yellow Cab or some other. Two blocks over, I called to a fellow across the street and asked him if he knew where I might catch the express going north to Everett and he told me to go one block over and two blocks up and I'd be at 6th & Olive where I'd be picked up with no problem. Exhausted, I arrived that the stop, the bus came, and I was on my way. I asked the driver if the expressed would be going by Northgate station and she said, emphatically, "NO!" That's when I decided that - although I'm not one to go whining in public over this sort of thing - I had to put this affront out there for others to read. Farwest Taxi ignored my dilemma, attempted to take advantage of me, and lied to me. Farwest Taxi was willing to steal money from me through this attempt to scam me into taking a $25 (or MORE) dollar ride to be abandoned at a bus stop where the bus I wanted did not go to. I wil, from this point forward, always suggest that anyone I know avoid Farwest Taxi. Anyone who wants to debate the merits of this review is free to contact me personally.
abusive cabby – i wonder if that far west taxi driver would have thrown my credit card and the receipt in my face and demanded me to "get out of his car" if i had been a man
great and quick service – i called in for an early morning pickup abt 4:30 am .. the driver was there in 10 mins and he was really polite. he helped take my luggage and put it in the cab.. and at the airport he took it out and brought it to the doors.. talked really nice and i gave a nice tip!. thank you farwest. would love to use your service again.
Excellent Cab Driver – I don't know about other's expeperiences but this company really went above and beyond for me. I was in Seattle for the first time and had no clue where I was. When it turned out I gave the wrong directions, the cab driver called me and then drove an extra 20 mins to come and get me where I really was(no extra charge). I aplogized and tried to give the driver a little extra tip for the trouble, but he tried to give it back to me! I then left my cell phone in the cab and didn't realize it. The driver tracked me down and brought me my cell phone that night(when he was off shift). I don't know about the company, but this driver was excellent.
WORST CAB DRIVER EVER! STAY AWAY! – This is the worst experience of service or "non-service" i have ever heard of. My 8 year old patient's mother was denied service from one doctor's appointment to our office for his cancer treatment. She is from out of town and has no car, little money, and is caring for her two children while her son is receiving treatment. Because of her situation, she has medical vouchers to take her from appointment to appointment.
The cab arrived and told her "cash only" several times and was very adamant and rude about declining the vouchers. She explained the situation to him that she was going to the hospital for her son's cancer treatment and that she did not have nearly enough cash to pay him. He exclaimed "I don't care where you are going or that your son has cancer, it is cash only!!!"
After pleading with him some more, the cab driver shouted profanity several times at her in front of her 8 and 5 year old children and gave her the finger before driving off... leaving her in tears hopeless and afraid on the sidewalk.
This is the worst behavior I have ever heard, and I don't know what heartless person was driving, but I can tell you that I will never promote this company, and I hope for her sake and yours that you won't either.
Same old story – After our experience with Far West I am not suprised with the other responses on this post. After our cabbie took my girlfriend and I home we discovered that we were short on cash and had to pay with a credit card. I explained that we would tip him extra for the trouble and still he griped and muttered curses at us in his native language. I still gave him the tip that I promised and his horrible attitude did not change. When I mentioned on our way out that it wasn't right to treat us this way he swerved his taxi around in a squealing u-turn which we had to run to avoid. Luckily we got his cab number and called his company. However, the employee on the other line curtly brushed us off and hung up on us in the middle of our story. Obviously the apple does not fall far from the tree. By the way his cab number is #127.

"I ordered this card in Wintergreen (with the red striped back), using the Pearl White Shimmer paper. The paper quality was beautiful - the shimmer added an elegant special touch to the card. I have not sent these out yet, so I can't comment on the color transfer to the envelope.... but regardless, the card came out beautifully! My only "complaint" with Tiny Prints is that your options to minimize/enlarge and position photos is fairly limited. I couldn't position my photo exactly as I had hoped so had to cut off some of the photo to make it work with this template."
"My 2 year old son LOVES horses.... so we had his picture taken on a beautiful horse... .this card layout/design is PERFECT for the look we were envisioning!!!! We use Tiny Prints for all of our holiday and birthday cards!!! Keep up the great work!!!"
"We personalized it by using a fun loving, energetic, whimsical, picture of our kids. They are older 15 and 24 so we needed something silly and fun, not traditional and stoic. With the simplicity of the message we can use this card for everyone!!!! Plus we were able to add a couple of lines for a message and then 3 more fun pictures on the back! We loved it!"
"I used a close-up single photo of my sons and then two photos on the back of the card. The card is simple and the colors are really beautiful and complimented the photo well. I am never disappointed with my holiday card order from Tiny Prints and this was another success."
"We generally never send out a Christmas card from the dog. But this year we had too. We got a Rhodesian Ridgeback over the summer and he has the funniest personality. So of course this year would be the first year we would send a card from the dogs! I picked this card because it seems to go well with the picture & I just like the style of it. I like that the paper quality is card stock. Overall it fits our family's style the best."
