DAHLONEGA, GA – The 9th-ranked North
Georgia softball team combined to score 30 runs on as many hits to
sweep a doubleheader 11-0 and 19-0 from Columbia Union Monday
afternoon at Haines & Carolyn Hill Stadium in non-conference
The Saints improved to 16-2 on the season and run their win-streak to eight games, while the Pioneers fall to 0-6 overall.
In game one, Courtney McGuire put the Saints on the board in the first inning with an inside the park home run, scoring Laura Voyles and giving North Georgia an early 2-0 advantage. After a four-run opening frame, Pilar Harden crushed her second career home run as part of a four-run second inning to give the Saints an 8-0 lead.
Sarah Phillips (9-1) got the win in 3.0 innings of work as she held the Pioneers hitless while striking out six.
Game two was much of the same as North Georgia pushed five runs across in the opening inning on five hits and one Columbia Union error. Leslee Smith, Jessica Skeels, and Hilary Cox all drove home runs in the five-run inning.
The second frame saw North Georgia put together their biggest inning of the season, plating 14 runs on 11 hits. The Saints batted around twice and Cox provided two RBI doubles in both her trips to the plate, while Kaelin Farrington capped off the scoring in the inning by singling up the middle to score Kayla Martin and make it 19-0.
Trisha Snider (7-1) picked up the win, going three innings and allowing one hit while striking out four, while Ansley Anderson came on to pitch the final two innings and did not allow a hit.
North Georgia returns to action on Thursday afternoon, hosting Augusta State University to open Peach Belt Conference play. A doubleheader with the Jaguars is set to start at 2:00 p.m.

Hocus Pocus or Focus
Does all the technological wizardry of the latest gadgets, games and applications inhibit our ability to concentrate? Does all this magical media provide a constant source of distraction that conditions our brains for short attention spans?
Some scholars believe that the ability to focus and concentrate is a strong predictor of success. The ability to attend to a problem, think about complexity, wrestle with potential solutions is fundamental to writing, science, mathematics and life in general.

"Court Vision: Remembering Allen Iverson on the occasion of his retirement"
Why would anyone want to remember a Loser who blew $150 million on garbage?
• With Allen Iverson's impending formal retirement, you'll undoubtedly read a share of reflections on his career and influence. Many will be quite good, as Iverson tends to occupy a special space for so many who care about this game. But I'd urge you to usher this piece — by David Roth of SB Nation — to the top of the pile:
It's true, and not necessarily a bad thing, that Iverson's specific sort of struggle feels like an anachronism in the NBA circa now. The NBA, awash in record revenues and rising ratings, is no doubt happy about this. It's the consensus that Iverson's years as the NBA's most recognizable — if never necessarily best-loved — figure were not good ones for the league, and in terms of the demarcations of brand health they weren't. But this is not because of any failing on Iverson's part, or even on the NBA's, so much as it's a reflection of how difficult and complicated and not-for-everyone Allen Iverson was as a player.
Because his mastery was so furious and improbable and risky — all that hungry pinballing and crashing through the lane, through opponents, into various immovable objects real and metaphorical — Iverson was both frightening and exhilarating to watch. This wasn't the zipless, vicious grace of Michael Jordan or even Kobe's fuming, self-conscious maestro-hood. Iverson was harder than that, more challenging than that — he was in control, but his game was about finding the outer boundary of that control, a place in the red where opponents couldn't meet him, and then staying there. There was a sharp and unmissable risk in his every on-court moment. Someone or something could get hurt. It was usually him. This was fun to watch, but it was decidedly adult entertainment.
• Nate Robinson is working in some offseason taekwondo. (via Danny Chau)
• LeBron James plays dress-up.
• A needed reminder that the best means of exploiting the Pacers in the pick-and-roll is still — counterintuitively — to attack Roy Hibbert. From The Mikan Drill:
Offenses can take advantage of this by using Hibbert's man to set the ball screen, which forces Hibbert to be more involved in the action. This gives the offense a few good options to get high percentage shots. The open space on the court out of this action is usually centered around the foul line extended, which is where the Pacers want to force the offense in hopes of forcing a jump shot.
When Hibbert is guarding the roll man and not the rim, the Pacers are vulnerable. Hibbert is too slow to match up with a driving big man and there is no one left to protect the rim. Hibbert is comfortable in the paint, cutting off the dribble drive, but looks unsure of himself when he has to guard 15 feet from the basket. This allows the big man to cut to the rim or drive past Hibbert after receiving the kick out pass…
…While having Hibbert's man set the screen on the pick and roll seems like an easy idea to run constantly, the Pacers often put Hibbert on a lesser offensive player so that he is free to roam the paint and protect the rim. When that is the case, teams may design sets and alignments to draw Hibbert away from the action so he can't have an effect on the ball screen.
• Corey Brewer has a pet goat. The more you know.
• Correlating a player's points-per-game average with hip-hop name drops. (via Matt Moore)
• The Lakers' perimeter rotation looks to be a bit crowded, and could pose a challenge for head coach Mike D'Antoni — who has never been one to go deep into his bench unless absolutely necessary.
• Among those aforementioned Laker wings is the trigger-happy Nick Young, who will undoubtedly be putting up his share of field goal attempts in Kobe Bryant's absence. Drew Garrison of Silver Screen and Roll put together a thorough look at Young's scoring game, chock full of interesting notes on Young's shot selection and tendencies.
• The NBA's official blooper reel for the 2012-13 season features shockingly few actual bloopers, but it's worth watching all the same:
• Over at The Basketball Jones, Andrew Unterberger concludes his examination of the most interesting players in every division with a look at the standout players of the Pacific. He finds players worth exploring on every team in the division, and in the case of the Kings chose to hone in on the newly acquired Greivis Vasquez:
You know you have to go back to the turn of the millennium to find a player on the Sacramento Kings who averaged more than seven assists a game for a season? Jason Williams averaged 7.3 back in 99-00, and since then, the only player to average even six a game is when Mike Bibby dimed 6.8 a contest in 04-05. In 2012, Tyreke Evans led the team with 4.5 a game, and last year, Isiah Thomas led the squad with a whopping 4.0 a game. Sharing has not exactly been caring in Sactown lately, and you'd have a tough time saying the team has been better off for it.All of this is to say that Greivis Vasquez, who averaged nine assists a game and led the entire league in total assists last year, might be something of a breath of fresh air for Kings fans. He doesn't have the starting job firmly won from Isiah Thomas yet, but I have to imagine that once the Kings get a little taste of actual pure point guard distribution, it's gonna be too intoxicating for them to go back to a hybrid like Lil Zeke. They'll probably still be terrible, but it'll be a more communal form of terrible, and that'll be nice.

Futuristic Styling, Innovatiove Control Layout and A Faster, Wider Autofocus
The Rebel K2's seven focusing points read a wide area of a scene to give you exquisitely precise focus — even when your subject is off-center. The K2 detects whether your subject is moving or still, and instantly adjusts the autofocus to match. Specialized shooting modes like Portrait, Landscape or Sports pre-set the focusing for the subject at hand. There's even a Continuous Shooting Mode to capture sequential action at a fast, silent 1.5 frames per second (fps).

Both of the incidents occurred on the 800 block of Sanota Drive sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. One vehicle, a 2002 Honda Accord, had a .25-caliber pistol and $650 in golf equipment stolen from it.
"It's the same thing as usual, unlocked vehicles with items left in them," Anniston police Sgt. Chris Sparks said.
The sergeant said that because the break-ins happened in the same location at around the same time, it's likely the same suspects committed both crimes.
Those suspects could face felony charges of breaking-and-entering into a vehicle, according to a police report.

Elaine Donnelly is president of the Center for Military Readiness, an independent, nonpartisan public policy organization that specializes in military/social issues. Founded in 1993, CMR advocates high, single standards in all forms of military training and sound priorities in the making of military/social policies.
Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger appointed Mrs. Donnelly to be a member of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services (DACOWITS) for a three-year term (1984–1986). In 1992, Pres. George H. W. Bush appointed her to the Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces.
She is the author of a chapter titled "Defending the Culture of the Military," which was published by the Air Force University Press in the book Attitudes Are Not Free – Thinking Deeply About Diversity in the U.S. Armed Forces, released in May 2010 and now in its third printing. In May 2007 the Duke University Journal of Gender Law & Policy published her comprehensive, peer-reviewed article titled "Constructing the Co-Ed Military."
In January 2012 the Center for Military Readiness produced a 15-20 minute illustrated PowerPoint presentation, titled Attitudes Aren't Free: Defending the Culture of the Military. The presentation explains to various audiences why it is important to defend the best qualities and timeless principles of military culture, meaning "How things are done," which are essential for a strong All-Volunteer Force.
Mrs. Donnelly has published articles on military personnel issues in many newspapers and magazines nationwide, including the Washington Post, USA Today, the Boston Globe, Congressional Quarterly Researcher, U.S. News & World Report, the Washington Times, the Naval Institute's Proceedings, and Human Events, and has appeared on most network and cable network discussion programs. She is a contributor to the Breitbart website Big Peace and CNSNews.com.
Elaine Donnelly has participated in educational programs sponsored by the Naval Institute, Hillsdale College, the Foreign Policy Institute, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the Heritage Foundation, Independent Women's Forum, and a number of events sponsored by veterans' groups and military academy alumni organizations. In 1997 Elaine Donnelly was the first woman to receive the Adm. John Henry Towers award from the New York Naval Aviation Commandery, in recognition of her support for naval aviation.
Previously active in volunteer political activity, she chaired the Michigan Republican Party's Issues Committee, and in 2002 she was the recipient of the American Conservative Union's Ronald Reagan Award. She attended Schoolcraft College and the University of Detroit, is the mother of two grown daughters, and resides in Michigan.

Turkey Heaven Fire Chief Patrick Nolen said a truck hauling chicken feed ran off the road about a mile from Cleburne County Technical School.
The truck went off the roadway and rolled over on its side, Nolen said just before noon.
"There's chicken feed dumped all over," he said.
When firefighters arrived about 7 a.m., the driver of the truck was out of the vehicle and appeared unharmed, Nolen said. However, Cleburne County Emergency Medical Service took him to Regional Medical Center in Anniston because he was complaining of some pain in his shoulder, Nolen said.
Turkey Heaven volunteer firefighters were still at the scene directing traffic as the truck's spilled grain was cleaned up, Nolen said. The trucking company, which he declined to name, was at the site carrying out the cleanup, he added.
The wreck is under investigation by Alabama State Troopers, Nolen said.
Nolen estimated this morning that the road would be fully open by about 1 p.m.

Hi all, I'm looking for a new approach to this animation math algorithm.
This approach is time line based and not relevant to the current frame. The reason for the change is that I need to be able to set FPS on the fly. If I do that in this case the frames will jump. I would expect a FPS change from 30 to 50 to jump, but this function will go nutz even if the frame rate is changed by one in some cases especially going down ( 30 to 29 ).
here is the code.
const s32 lenInMs = abs(s32( (EndFrame - StartFrame) / FramesPerSecond));
if (FramesPerSecond > 0.f) //forwards...
return StartFrame + ( (timeMs - BeginFrameTime) % lenInMs) * FramesPerSecond;
BeginFrameTime is set in the constructor
BeginFrameTime = os::Timer::getTime();
timeMs is the current Timer::getTime();
What I think I need here is a way to return currentFrame + one "vector" of movement. I have the currectFrame but I cant seem to get the math right. This way, when the FPS changes it just increase rather then jumping around. As I said its ok if the change to FPS is a great amount, that is understandable.
I had a few methods to this but I'm out of ideas, its just not working as I hoped, can any one take a stab at this?

Ms. Sohn, a Year 3 teacher, is planning a unit on simple machines. She wants her students to collaborate with a partner classroom in another state to investigate simple machines in their environments and share simple machines they have designed. They plan to create a wiki for publishing student work on the Internet. During this unit, she is going to focus on the 21st century skills of self-direction and collaboration. Ms. Sohn uses the Assessing Projects Application to create her assessments as follows:
After Ms. Sohn creates a few assessments, she organizes them by managing her Personal Library.
To add graphics and other design features, and to share her assessments with her colleague in the partner classroom, Ms. Sohn exports her assessments to her desktop and uses the e-mail feature to share her resources.

hell that's nothing, Dihydrogen Monoxide is only one ATOM away from being a substance known to cause a condition called Black Hairy Tongue as well as abdominal pains, vomiting, and diarhea!
Cast off the shoe, Follow the gourd!
Note: it is Russia and China that have everyone afraid to intervene for the most part. What we have here is a clusterfuck of the current iteration of the Great Game causing political tensions that make most nations leery to the point that everyone refuses to take any action.
This is doubly so for America as you add in the Democrats knowing damned well that no matter how justified an intervention is they will be tarred even more by Republicans claiming it was simply warmongering (see Libya).
So those in power amongst the major powers are too busy glaring at each other while thousands and thousands of Syrians die and even more are displaced. You are right about apathy being a major problem as even if it seemed ineffectual, massive protests concerning inaction in Syria would force the news outlets to at least have to mention the issue rather than continuing to sweep the problem under the rug beyond the odd "shits still crazy in Syria" headline.
I know it's pretty cliche to scream slashvertisement whenever there's an article involving a purchasable gadget, but jebus tapdancing christ guys when you advertise the price including a link to their store for something like this it really is getting sad.
If it ISN'T intentional you sure are letting submissions take you for a ride.
That only worked because the government thugs had arrived.
Had it only been the mall cops they would have been sued out of existence, its illegal in BC for security workers to even carry handcuffs.
So given a situation where of those informed and interested in the bill there is a significant amount of opposition, and of the remainder of the population people either don't know or don't care enough to support the bill, does this imply to you that this legislation is representative of the will of the people?
If this was a case of 19K for and even 1 against I might be able to buy the argument of sampling bias. When not one single person supports it in the consultation it is not only reasonable to infer that the legislation is not desired, but damn near certain.
Basically all this states is that you have those that are willing to write in against it, and those who are ignorant of it.
Sorry but at a rate of 19K to 0 the statistical significance is there to derive overwhelming disapproval from the result. Do you honestly believe if the populace was MORE aware of the details of the bill that suddenly there'd be an outpouring of support?
ack, replying to undo cocked up moderation
s/is considers/considers/ goddamnit.
heh, the phrasing is saying that the EFF is considers the suit to be of that type, not that they coined the phrase.
Before everyone finishes patting themselves on the back about how stupid Carreon is, how he has invoked the Streisand effect and a bunch of bad PR ask yourself this: How many of us had honestly even heard of Funnyjunk before today.
Given that it contains so much user submitted content, imagine how many ads have been served on pages where people have gone to flame them, despite the bulk of slashdot readers using adblocks on unfamiliar sites.
I wonder if his ego might still have them laughing all the way to the bank depending on how long it takes them to drop or settle the suits. Even before the internet its been known in marketing that the only bad publicity is no publicity.
well, if nothing else, I chuckled a little.
We won't be having naan of this around here!
Hell, I'm not even American and even I know this was basically laid out by Woodrow Wilson as a GOAL back when he was kicking about.
Let us go back and distinguish between the two things that we want to do; for we want to do two things in modern society. We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class, of necessity, in every society, to forego the privileges of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks. You cannot train them for both in the time that you have at your disposal.
Hey the concept is only 102 years old, as far as american politicians are concerned..

KDE-Services extends the features of the Dolphin File Manager right-click menu in the KDE graphical environment. It allows you to play and convert between several video formats, extract audio from movies and convert them to MP3 or FLAC, convert audio to MP3 or FLAC, securely send a file or directory to Mailx as an email, send files to Thunderbird as attachments, burn and checksum ISO images, execute scripts and applications, get low-level information on video files, build ISO images from folders, replace text, search, SSH, use Midnight Commander, use system, network, and backup/restore tools, use Samba, extract subtitles from MKV video, multiplex subtitles into MPEG-2 videos, and work with YouTube, DVDs, multimedia, GPG. You can add a timestamp prefix to a filename or directory name. A paranoid shredder, an HTTP publisher, graphic tools, RPM package tools, Xorg configuration, and Dropbox tools are included.
Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files, recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract data from damaged files, decompress files, and test integrity of files. Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip, and pdlzip. It makes lzip files resistant to bit-flip, one of the most common forms of data corruption, and its recovery capabilities contribute to make of the lzip format one of the best options for long-term data archiving.
GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disk, CD-ROM, etc.) to another, trying to rescue the good parts first in case of read errors. GNU ddrescuelog is a tool that manipulates ddrescue logfiles, shows logfile contents, converts logfiles to/from other formats, compares logfiles, tests rescue status, and can delete a logfile if the rescue is done.
Lbzip2 is a parallel, SMP-based, bzip2-compatible compression utility, with a commandline resembling that of the original bzip2. It is usable both on its own and as a filter passed to GNU tar with the "--use-compress-program" option. It uses Gnulib, and its building and testing process is managed by the GNU build system. Starting with release 2.0, lbzip2 is independent of libbz2 and features yambi, an independent BWT compression stack with improved speed and robustness.
GNU Recutils is a set of tools and libraries to access human-editable text-based databases called recfiles. A recfile contains data structured as a sequence of records. The rec format supports data integrity with the usage of record descriptors (keys, mandatory fields, field types, etc.) as well as the ability of record fields to refer to other records. Despite its simplicity, recfiles can be used to store medium-sized databases. The GNU recutils suite comprises a texinfo manual describing the Rec format, a C library (librec) providing a rich set of functions to access rec files, a set of C utilities that can be used in shell scripts and in the command line to operate on rec files, and an Emacs mode (rec-mode).
Pybik is an interactive, graphical, single player puzzle about the cube invented by Ernő Rubik. Besides the cube, the program can handle towers and bricks (non-cubic puzzles). Pybik also has solvers, pretty patterns, and a collection of various moves. The cube can be manipulated with the mouse or keyboard. You can change the colors or images on the faces of the cube.
GNU Moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean console text editor for ISO-8859 and ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, online help, multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability, unlimited line length, global search/replace (on all buffers at once), block operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, filename completion, a directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories, and delimiter matching.
Zutils is a collection of utilities able to deal with any combination of compressed and uncompressed files transparently. If any given file, including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is used. Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files are created. These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++ programs. In particular the "--recursive" option is very efficient in those utilities supporting it. The provided utilities are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep, ztest, and zupdate. The supported formats are bzip2, gzip, lzip, and xz. The compressor to be used for each format is configurable at runtime.
A GNOME based filemanager.
A file integrity tool.

Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides a machine-independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set of builtin mathematical and programmatic functions.
cgi-util is a fast, easy to use C library for creating CGI programs. Functions are available for initialization (parsing), grabbing fields (by string, integer, double or boolean value), embedding HTML files, and more. It accepts both POST and GET request methods and has extensive error handling.
CGI::Application is a Perl framework intended to make it easier to create sophisticated, reusable Web-based applications. This module implements a methodology which can make Web software easier to design, easier to document, easier to write, and easier to evolve. CGI::Application builds on standard, non-proprietary technologies and techniques, such as the Common Gateway Interface and Lincoln D. Stein's excellent CGI.pm module. CGI::Application judiciously avoids employing technologies and techniques which would bind a developer to any one set of tools, operating system, or Web server.
Freeciv is a multiuser reimplementation for Unix/X of the famous Microprose game of Civilization. By default, the game is an improved Civ II, but this can be customized; modpacks for near-100% compatibility with Civ I and Civ II are included. Multiuser gameplay is real-time: in each turn, all human players move concurrently. The game is designed to remain fairly playable even on poor network connections. Freeciv can also be played on standalone machines, and its AI players are a good challenge for beginners. The source code comes with the server, two X clients, and non-X clients for MS Windows and Amiga. Freeciv is released under the GNU General Public License. It is maintained by an international team of coders and enthusiasts, and is easily one of the most fun and addictive network games out there.
JExpress is a Java installer builder and auto-updater. It gives you your choice of a standalone installer, including both native and cross platform installers and updaters for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, or a Java Web Start one-click install. You create your installer quickly with your choice of a simple wizard or a powerful advanced interface, both included. You can bundle the exact JVM you want with your installer. The auto-updater gives you a continuous revenue stream after the sale. Your software is always up-to-date, so your customers have fewer problems. You also get all the features you expect in a top end installer. Your Java application becomes a native program just like any other. On Windows it's an EXE, on Mac OS X an app bundle, etc. If you need something really special, you can customize your installer by adding simple Java classes. You can even get a source license at a reasonable price.
make_faq is an HTML generator that builds chunks/chapters/questions-and-answers or whatever, and builds indexes to hold it all together. It's a fairly general purpose tool for creating a set of indexed pages, but it's common usage is to build FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) HTML from text documents. See the examples for a better understanding.
Nets is a flexible and extensible network inventory and asset management system that works on all Unix and Windows platforms, and works with most SQL databases. Its complete GUI allows you to maintain details of your entire network, from network links down to interfaces and routers. It assists in provisioning, costing, reporting, and maintaining network details. It includes a network browser, an extension API, and plugins for IP address map visualisation, reports, schematics.
PLIB is a set of libraries to write games and other realtime interactive applications that are 100% portable across a wide range of hardware and operating systems. It's used by Majik3D, FlightGear, and others, and includes libraries for GUI widgets, sound replay, geometry, scene graph, joystick, and fonts/text.
wxDesigner is a dialog editor and RAD tool for the wxWindows C++ library and its popular Python and Perl bindings. It includes a visual dialog editor, a bitmap editor, a syntax-highlighting source editor, and built-in mechanisms for automatic generation of file skeletons, GUI classes, event handlers, and getter functions. It provides an identical user interface and identical functionality for C++, Perl, and Python, and it can generate output in C++, Python, Perl, and XML.

Spicebird 0.4: Thunderbird Alternative with RSS, Chat and Portal
Indian software developer Synovel released the latest 0.4 version of its groupware client, Spicebird, just a few days ago.
Spicebird is based on the Open Source mailer Mozilla Thunderbird, but adds much functionality to the basic product. Users who deploy Thunderbird with the Sunbird calendar plugin, will find that Spicebird is an interesting alternative that comes with its own RSS newsreader and an instant messaging module, and presents its features on a clear-cut and configurable portal page.
However, the software fails to provide some of the typical features that users expect of a groupware client: just like with Sunbird, Spicebird can only use local, Caldav server and ICS files on the network as data sources for calendars, and it still lacks connectors to groupware servers. According to the vendor's roadmap, the open source tool will have an Exchange connector by version 1.0. Just like most programs from the Mozilla family, Spicebird is also available for Windows and Linux.
The Mozilla Foundation caused a stir last fall when it announced that the Thunderbird mailer would be outsourced from Mozilla Corporation (as Linux Magazine reported). Many developers threatened to ditch the project – and it looks like some of them have landed at Spicebird.

Dalton at Gainesville
Character and unity.
One of Gainesville's best defensive football players has big dreams in life that have nothing to do with football.
FLOWERY BRANCH - The defensive backs in the Flowery Branch secondary like to see the opposing quarterback drop back to throw.
FLOWERY BRANCH - The defensive backs in the Flowery Branch secondary like to see the opposing quarterback drop back to throw.
BUFORD -- There was a time when Buford senior Vadal Alexander was not as strong and imposing of a figure.
Georgia Prep Football Poll
Friday's game between Gainesville and Stephens County was supposed to be a showdown of the two best teams in Region 8-AAA.
In less than 24 hours, Flowery Branch went from being on the verge of its first region title to preparing for a road trip to start the state playoffs.
Gainesville left no doubt that it is the best team in Region 8-AAA.
ATHENS - The Flowery Branch Falcons walked on to the field at Billy Henderson Stadium Friday night knowing exactly what they had to do to secure the program's first region title and a No. 1 seed heading into the state playoffs.
MONROE - An up-and-down season came to a fitting end for North Hall on Friday.
The Buford defense held Blessed Trinity to 127 yards of total offense (58 rushing, 69 passing) on the way to a 49-10 victory Friday in Roswell.
DAWSONVILLE - Jefferson jump-started its running game with key halftime adjustments and capitalized on five Dawson County turnovers to beat the Tigers for the second time this season on their home field, 21-10, Friday night.
Coming into Friday night's Region 8-AA play-in game, the East Hall Vikings wanted to show that they had what it took to compete with one of the best teams in Northeast Georgia.
For Flowery Branch, tonight's game at second-ranked Northside-Warner Robins is more than a season opener.
For all the eye-popping statistics that Deshaun Watson posted during his record-setting 2012 season, the categories where he avoided large numbers may have been just as important to Gainesville's state championship run.
Chattooga at East Hall
Antonio Pittman's role as a West Hall Spartan has been increasing ever since he first stepped onto the field in Oakwood.
Dawson County struck big in crucial situations to open the season Friday against East Hall in Gainesville. Leading by a small margin with five minutes left to play, Tigers (1-0, 1-0 Region 7-AAA) quarterback Zack Buchan hit running back Cody Lamar in the open field on a third-and-long at the 30 and ran 70 yards for the score, propelling Dawson County to a 29-27 win.
Andrew Smith and Brannon Dyer were the catalysts for the North Hall offense in a 42-31 scrimmage win against Salem (Va.) on Friday in Virginia.
OAKWOOD - This year, the Battle of Oakwood went to the Spartans of West Hall.

I've used these on a couple of showcase guitars to demonstrate some fancy wiring options. Really well made, intuitive to use and opens up the tone of your instrument nicely. On a humbucker equipped Jaguar style guitar, I can get a nicely pronounced Tele style twang. It also works really well if you "park" your tone at a favourite position and then use the volume knob to toggle between settings instantly.
Just put it in a client's guitar, and I thing it's great. Unlike the trad blower switch that just works on the bridge pickup, this one works on all. Good volume and treble boost. Very well made. I'm buying some for my personal instruments.
I think the previous reviewer missed the whole point of these pots. The only way to get direct injection from the pup is to lift the ground and eliminate the tone pot (high pass bleed to ground). I installed this pot in my latest Tele build, complete with Fender Texas Custom pups, 4-way switching, and a push-pull for tone and diode rectifier circuit. This guitar is a tone machine! Great invention! Upgrading my SG build with these pots, and will be standard in all future builds. . .
These may work if you are using 24 gauge modern wires, but if you use vintage cloth wire only one wire will fit through the tiny holes. I installed this on two Telecasters with 4 way switches and a Stratocaster. If you look at both wiring diagrams they use the same lug for different things and I could not get the Tele diagram to work except for the neck pickup. The Strat diagram works but a vintage Strat needs a tone pot when soloing. I would give it two stars if Steinberger's website had a diagram that correctly labeled all the lugs, but I couldn't find anything except the diagrams here and they are rather random. This needs to be done with a full sized pot and full sized tabs!
and it is too! wind it up to about 9 and it works like an ordinary control. Click it to 10 and there is a kick in the rear - a boost just right for soloing. 2 cons though - it also cuts out the tone control ground, so no Clapton Tone solos - and it doesn't rotate fully - set the knob pointer at 10, turn the control counterclockwise and when the pot comes to a stop, the knob skirt reads 3, not 0. and its smaller than a CTS - (that's 3 cons...well I didn't expect a Spanish Inquisition)
I recently had a 4 way selector switch, and then a Jackpot Volume pot on my Telecaster. Wow! I love it. The volume pot bypasses everything and goes straight to the jack and gives the guitar more oomph. Well done Ned Steinberger! Be aware it is a mini pot and very small. With these two mods done, I am completely satisfied with the whole thing now.
I chose the 250k pot for a humbucker equipped guitar to try a warm/bright tone switch effect. The pot does give a slight treble boost when the bypass switches over and a warmer tone when switched back. My only complaint is that this is a MINI pot, not a traditional full size pot. The shaft is a much smaller diameter than a standard pot and must be held in place until snug to be properly centered. The shaft is also to short for use in Les Paul and some other rear route guitars. The legs of the pot are also very small and delicate, this pot needs to be re-engineered to standard full size pot specs. Overall it is a great Idea from Ned, one of those ideas you kick yourself for not thinking of 20 years ago. It just needs to be designed and manufactured a little better for real world applications. I was very glad StewMac had the wiring diagram online because no instructions were included with the pot.
I recently install one for a friend in a 1992 Fender Prodigy. He said that there is a noticeable boost in volume and brighter tone when engaged. He liked the feature. The only issue that I had was connecting all the ground wires. The terminals would only accept a max of 3 stranded wires and design does not allow you to solder to the metal case of the pot. You then have to connect some or all of the grounds to a single wire and then connect it to the pot. The original wiring used the volume pots case as the common tie point.

Day of sorrow
Shattering loss It's too soon after the shootings Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, for public-policy pronouncements about gun rights or school security. That time may yet come, if indeed solutions can be found in principled, thoughtful debate sparked by an inexplicable burst of violence. It's not too soon, however, to acquire and nurture a new appreciation for children and other beloved family members who may be taken from any of us, as 20 were taken from their parents in Newtown. The incomprehensible horror of the mass murder leaves all who followed Friday's chilling news coverage stunned, and the victims' loved ones bereft. We join the many millions all over the world who share the grief now being borne by those who have suffered so shattering a loss.

" It's NEVER "too soon" to take meaningful steps to prevent the unnecessary death of innocents, never. It is *entirely* possible - and rational within our current Constitutional framework - to ban individual civilians' ownership of operational multiple-round assault weapons and their ammunition; a gun-ownership registry; and the banning of gun ownership and possession by those who have psychiatric illness, developmental disability, severe substance abuse disorders, those whose doctors and/or therapists believe their judgement to be at least temporarily impaired enough to justify it, and convictions of violent crimes. The longer such rational controls remain absent in America, the longer the list of innocent victims will grow. "

KANSAS CITY -- Royals first baseman Mike Sweeney, who has gone 0-for-1 in
each of the last three All-Star Games, will have to wait at least another
year in his quest to get that first All-Star hit.
"Sweeney can't play and they (American League) need another first baseman so
why not Jason Giambi," said Royals catcher Brent Mayne.

And I seriously put blood into this one. Cut my damn thumb opening the case.
Thank you for all your help everyone.
And I seriously put blood into this one. Cut my damn thumb opening the case.
Thank you for all your help everyone.
Well i broke a knife and now have a scratched and too big case - will get some replacement parts when their are available. Also removed more than necessary and had trouble to get all the internal connectors back to work but it works now. However the trace and solder points are too small for me - ill leave it to some friends of mine or wait for the software unlock
I used guitar picks to open the phone and used the needle method for unlocking.
I can't get this damn antenna cover back on, lol.
did u do connect the 2 points by hand or with something like this ?
or that
I bought exactly that but ended up not using it except for the magnifying glass to scrape the trace just a bit before poking it.
I actually did it with one hand, lol. I wouldn't recommend it but once I had the first needle on the trace, I'd put the other on the 1.8V end then hold both with one hand and press Enter. It was very tricky
Is there any way to copy SIM contacts over to the iPhone?

Style – Seven striking Fisherman Coats for landlubbers – H&M, Stutterheim, Jack Wills and more
Who would have thought that Captain Birds Eye would ever be a style role model. Well not quite but fisherman coats and jackets, which started appearing in the ranges of high end brands last year have landed on the (virtual) high street and are here to stay for 2013.
I guess many of these coats are being bought by outdoor types who want to look both sensible and smart, but even if your idea of great outdoors adventure is a trip round the park with the dog you'll still looks fine in them.
The jackets we have rounded up are split between heavyweight coats designed to withstand the very worst that the North Sea (they are Scandi influenced) can thrown at them and more lightweight numbers that you can team up with deck shoes and shorts.
Suit Fisherman Jacket £126
From the innovative Suit brand this is a hybrid of a fisherman's coat and a parka. Finished in brown it is made from 100% cotton and looks good with black jeans and Desert Boots. ASOS

good and evil, corruption and redemption, hi-tech super-weapons and swordplay that popularized Space Opera on the big screen. It is also a juggernaut of a franchise that made creator George Lucas one of the most powerful men in the film and entertainment industries.
The Original TrilogyOpening with a tale of a brave rebellion fighting the evil empire, the story centers on Luke Skywalker, a simple Farm Boy who finds himself drawn into that conflict when some robot buddies show up at his doorstep with some important information. As he embarks on The Hero's Journey, it encompasses three films and meets many now-legendary characters like Princess Leia, the Lovable Rogue Han Solo and the Old Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.With guidance from Obi-Wan and later Yoda, Luke learns the ways of mystic powers of the Jedi and brings down The Empire. Along the way, he famously discovers that Darth Vader, The Dragon of the Emperor, is his father Anakin Skywalker, and the (not) love-interest Princess is his twin sister.
Prequel TrilogyThe second trilogy centers on Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker, and his growth from a young slave on a remote planet into a powerful Jedi Knight. It showed how Senator/Chancellor Palpatine (the Big Bad of the Original Trilogy) gained supreme power through complex schemes, and Anakin's corruption at his hands. It also showed Obi-Wan's story in training Anakin and the fall of the Jedi Order, with Obi-Wan and Yoda becoming the last of their kind.
Sequel TrilogyFollowing Disney Pictures' acquisition of Lucasfilm in late 2012, plans were announced to release new Star Wars films every "two to three years" with the franchise continuing "well into the future", starting with a new trilogy set after Return of the Jedi. The first film, Episode VII, is to be written by J. J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan, and directed by Abrams. What effect these films will have on the Star Wars Expanded Universe (such as creating an Alternate Continuity), is an open question; for the time being it is operating as it was before the acquisition.
The inspirations for Star Wars include the 1930s serials and comic strips of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. The story goes that after Lucas made American Graffiti he wanted to make a Flash Gordon remake, and upon being denied the rights to the property (a film was already in the works) he set out to create his own pulp sci-fi universe. After multiple incarnations, some of the content of which can be found in repurposed names and concepts for later franchise material, he formed the basic story of the first movie. This story continued to evolve for the sequels and finally the prequels. But from the beginning it was always meant to be just one story in a vast galaxy.Lucas also took inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's mystical samurai heroes and bumbling sidekicks. Kurosawa's films The Hidden Fortress and Yojimbo were particularly influential on the first movie; an early draft was basically "The Hidden Fortress IN SPACE!" and Lucas even considered buying the rights for a Remake before developing the story further. The Jedi and their rivals the Sith were originally imagined as samurai-like warriors without superhuman abilities, and the name "Jedi" is taken from the jidai-geki genre featuring feudal Japan.The films also have some predecessors in Sci-Fi literature. There are echoes of Isaac Asimov's Foundation in the decaying Galactic Empire. Frank Herbert's first few Dune novels provided some inspiration, notably for the desert planet Tatooine. Also, The concept of a superpowered psychic galactic police force is taken from E. E. �Doc� Smith's pulp SF series Lensman, as is (arguably) much of the technology - Arthur C Clarke stated that "Smith holds all the original Star Wars patents", and he has a point.The Force itself has analogues in many works like "The Cosmic All" from the Lensman series and "The Source" from Jack Kirby's New Gods; Mark Hamill, who plays Luke, once asked Lucas where he got the idea and Lucas answered, "it's in about 450 old science fiction novels". The Force can also be traced to the New Age atmosphere of the Seventies, and ultimately to Eastern philosophy.Various depictions of World War II naval battles also influenced Lucas, with the bombing run sequence from the first movie inspired by the Royal Air Force movie The Dam Busters.
Though many tropes didn't start with Star Wars, it has popularized dozens of them, to the point numerous modern Space Opera and Sci-Fi works contain homages to the franchise. Even this site has made the franchise a Trope Namer for fifty odd tropes, listed here.Has an immense Expanded Universe, consisting mostly of Novels and Comics, but also made-For-TV films, Radio Dramas, Video Games, pinball machines, known simply as the Star Wars Expanded Universe.Also has a 100,000+ article large wiki here, that covers every conceivable piece of the Star Wars franchise.
Tropes featured in general in the franchise

Valley City students cultivating community gardenValley City, ND (WDAY TV) - A Valley City School has students taking healthy eating into their own hands.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
A Valley City School has students taking healthy eating into their own hands. Soon, the student council at Washington Elementary will fill up this community garden with their own fresh edamame, an edible soybean. They're responsible to plant, weed, and harvest the vegetable.
The program's in its third year, as part of the school's fresh fruits and vegetables initiative, helping children make better choices. The school's principal hopes it will inspire a healthy change in habits.
Wayne Denault – Washington Elementary Principal: "We want to encourage the kids to go home and talk with their parents about that, and maybe encourage more parents to have gardens at home."
After harvest, all students at Valley City Elementary schools split the healthy snacks.
