Local sports bar up for sale
Bar owner says he's been selling for 10 years
BARSTOW • One of Barstow's premiere sports bars, Hooz on First, had a new banner out front this week: a large "for sale" sign, which owner Phil Harris said simply indicates intentions he's had for years.
"I've been here for 25 years and it's been fun but I'm just tired, burnt out. We're open for 364 days a year," he said.
The business has been for sale for the past 10 years and the banner is a product of a new Realtor, according to Harris.
He said he'll stay open until he sells and expects any potential new owner to keep it running as a bar, too.
"I'll be here until I sell or pass away," he said. "Then it'll be up to my kids after that."
The 2,800-square-foot building on First Avenue offers drinks, several TVs for sports viewing and a pool table. It also has a small outdoor patio with seating and modern interior.
Hooz on First is one of a handful of bars in Barstow and is popular among locals.
"It's the best bar in town. I don't think he should sell it. I think he should keep it," said Geneva Burdett, a local who said she's there almost daily. "It's a pretty mellow bar to sit in and most of the time you don't have to worry."
Recently, Harris said business has been slow due to the economy and because more people are drinking at home. Historically, the bar offered food and was at one point a "full house" during NFL season. That was 10 years ago, Harris said.
Larry Collins said he's frequented the place for 15 years, coming in for after work cocktails with colleagues and enjoying the atmosphere.
"It's a nice bar, quiet, the owner knows everyone and he's a good friend," Collins said.

HeadRoom Desktop Amp / DAC
Bristling with inputs, outputs and switches to manage your desktop audio world, the HeadRoom Desktop Headphone Amplifier delivers amazing fidelity and complete control. Not just a head-amp, the Desktop Amp/DAC is a true analog~digital switching center featuring dual RCA inputs and volume-controlled line output via Cardas RCA connectors. For digital sources, USB [computer], optical or coax S/PDIF digital inputs feed directly into our exclusive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) stage. Includes 1/4" + 1/8" headphone jacks along with renown HeadRoom crossfeed for awesome headphone imaging plus 3-position gain to precisely match any headphone impedance.
Product Features:
- Delivers true high-end headphone audio with Class-A biasing and Jung 'Diamond Buffer' output stage
- Improves headphone imaging with HeadRoom's famous crossfeed circuit.
- 3-position Gain switch optimized for headphones of different efficiencies
- Easily switches between two analog line inputs and/or three digital inputs
- Includes volume controlled pre-amp output for desktop speakers
What's In The Box:
- Standard Power Supply
- Owners Manual
The center of your desktop-based listening universe arrives in a curvilinear black-anodized aluminum chassis surrounded by protective molded urethane bezels. The HeadRoom Desktop Amp/DAC presents an integrated solution for all your demanding audiophile headphone listening situations in both digital and analog domains regardless whether it's a headphone-only or a monitor-oriented application. So no matter if you connect to an iPad/ iPhone/ iPod, Windows, Linux or MAC computer, CD/DVD player, pre-amp, turntable phono stage, home theatre/ component stereo system, gamer box, or custom audio front-end, this nook-sized 'Made in Montana' HeadRoom rig driving your favorite reference headphones will transform your personal and near-field headspace into pure sonic nirvana.
The Swiss Army Knife of Headphone Audio
Along with analog dual stereo RCA inputs, the 'DAC' (Digital-to-Analog Converter) stage within the HeadRoom Desktop Amp/DAC allows the ability to connect any digital-based audio source directly to the amp via optical or co-axial S/PDIF digital inputs OR straight from any computer's USB port. Go ahead and hook up everything at the same time -- up to five different sources -- and then select between them at the flick of a switch or two. That's amongst the many flexible "Audio Swiss-Army Knife" design features of our amazing HeadRoom Desktop Headphone Amp/DAC unit; The Desktop Amp/DAC can also easily act as an advanced switching center [i.e., 'pre-amp'] for all your various audio sources at home or on your workstation.
The front panel of the Desktop Amp/DAC sports both full-size 1/4" and mini-plug 1/8" [3.5mm] stereo headphone jacks for use with most standard headphone terminations. The amp will easily drive two headphones simultaneously. A 3-position gain switch on the front panel lets you select the operating range for headphones with any impedance or efficiency. Separate crossfeed and filter switches allow the user to adjust the audio presentation to your particular tastes and an On/Off power switch is also handily located on the front. The Desktop Amp/DAC has a rear panel connection for the +/-15VDC linear regulated standard AC power supply (included). The rear panel also has a 2 pair of RCA analog inputs with an input selector switch that allows you two analog sources connected to your Desktop Amp at all times. The Desktop Amp/DAC can also be used as a simple pre-amplifier and features a volume-controlled output on the rear panel suitable for use with powered bookshelf /computer speakers or for linking the HeadRoom Desktop Amp/DAC to a larger amplifier, pre-amp or home theatre system. The rear output can be defeated by a front panel switch when listening solely to headphones.
Electronics Module
The 'electronics module' is the internal circuit board chiefly responsible for the amp's sound quality. The module found in the Desktop Amp uses Burr-Brown 2134 op-amps while adding a series of constant-current sources to force everything into true "Class-A" biasing. This 'Home' analog module is tightly coherent, seamlessly smooth, and very accurate-sounding with precise musical detail resolution, an ultra-wide dynamic range extension, and an expressive, nuanced musical presentation throughout the entire frequency range.
About the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)
A DAC allows your HeadRoom unit to accept any digital audio signal and convert it to warm analog sound using premium chip set electronics. The DAC then sends that converted analog audio signal to the headphone amp stage of the Desktop Amp for final clean amplification into your headphones. The DAC in the HeadRoom Desktop Amp is based on the excellent Cirrus CS4398 chip which is their top-of-the-line flagship DAC. There is frankly not too much we can do here at HeadRoom to make it sound even better but, as always, we give it a darn good shot. This installation offers superb overall audio performance from any digital-output audio source, an organic analog-like timbral smoothness, and cogent musical detail resolution while pushing the DAC stage into critical "Class-A" performance biasing. Accepts all valid S/PDIF formats up to 24/96kHz; USB to 16/44.1 kHz.
Desktop Amp / DAC Power Supply
The HeadRoom Desktop Amp/DAC comes standard with a 120-Volt linear-regulated 'brick' AC power supply 'brick' for North American customers. International Desktop Amp/DAC purchasers receive the Astrodyne 'Universal-Voltage' power supply for a small upcharge.
For fully maximized timbral/tonal clarity, quickened dynamic range extension, and precise musical detail resolution, we highly recommend employing our HeadRoom Desktop Power Supply suitable for worldwide voltages [pictured above underneath the Desktop Amp/DAC] which delivers audibly improved sound quality and musical dynamics with an extremely quiet background noise floor.
Accessories & Cables
The HeadRoom Desktop Amp/DAC does NOT include any interconnect cabling. A USB cable will allow you to hook up your Desktop Amp's internal DAC to any computer. If using the optical input, you will need an Optical Digital Cable. If using coaxial-digital inputs, consider this coaxial cable. To hook up your Desktop Amp to a portable audio player [iPod/MP3/iPhone/Blackberry, etc.] with an 1/8" (3.5mm) output, you will need a 'Mini to-RCA' interconnect cable like these from StraightWire or Kimber Kable. If you are using an audio source with stereo left/right RCA connections, you'll need an RCA interconnect cable. Or just take a full look at all of our sundry audio cables stocked at HeadRoom.
If you need help choosing your own HeadRoom amp, please contact us for personalized help by emailing email@example.com or calling our highly knowledgeable, friendly, 'no-commission' HeadRoom sales staff toll-free at 800.828.8184.
You can also learn much more about our HeadRoom electronics modules, D-A converters, amplifier topology designs and volume controls under our exhaustive "HeadRoom Learning Center" links.

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Liquid smooth depth and clarity, very technical presentation
Cons: Wish the USB input could handle 24/96
I'm a novice audiophile, but I can tell you this much- the Desktop *transforms* the Grado RS-2. It reins in their typically warm presentation and brings out a restrained, technical, and highly detailed quality that the RS-2 never showed when fed via my Total Airhead. They sounded good via the trusty Airhead, no doubt, but this is a serious step above. It brings the RS-2 almost into Sennheiser territory in terms of an analytical listening experience. Balanced, fluid, neutral.
Fortunately if this is too detached sounding (and on some material it is), a combination of the crossfeed and brightness settings can restore some of the liveliness. These settings also have the effect of expanding the range of material that the RS-2s can deliver. A Vivaldi recording by Budapest Strings sounded just as precise and articulate as one would hope (and more beautiful than I'd ever heard this particular recording rendered before), and yet this same rig delivered the likes of Autechre, Nine Inch Nails, Talking Heads, and Steely Dan (all of these with 24bit sources) with equal impressiveness. Some tuning with crossfeed and brightness was required with Nine Inch Nails in particular (the remastered high-res version "The Downward Spiral") but the benefit was that I could now easily pick individual elements out of their very dense mixes. Most pleasing of all was the 2009 remaster of the Beatles' "Abbey Road". Amazing presence on that one, hearing Sir Paul fingering the bass as if he was sitting there.
Headroom advertises that to get the best experience with a quality set of cans, go with a quality amp. This is absolutely correct. And at least up to the price of this little beast, you really do get what you pay for.
I'm one of the lucky ones who got one of these just before they were discontinued. Why they would be discontinued, I don't understand, unless something better is on the way? If you have the itch and can afford it, go straight to the Ultra Desktop. If the regular Desktop is that good, the Ultra must be amazing.

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Multi task (Crossfeed, amp, preamp, filters, DAC)
Cons: no one for me
I use my Laptop conected to this wonderful thing + Sennheiser HD650. The DAC cirrus Logic do a very good job. Some songs you can hear one or two instrument on one side (left or right) for those song the crossfeed is amazing and for normal song it give more soundstage. I love this thing because is many things in one. Some songs have a black veil and the filters remove that. I like the filter 2 in some songs because feel more natural.
If you are from Mexico, belive me no problems. Im from Mexico City and I'm so happy with this amazing thing.
Headroom crew and Tyll Hertsens very good job!!!

Posted by Alex699 from Sydney, AUSTRALIA on 2012-02-15
Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Sheer versatility
Cons: Warm sound with certain headphones
That said I like the amp a whole lot but even with me flicking the filter switch through the different genres of music I listen to it's not that sound I was after. I generally pair this amp to my K 702's with the Cardas upgrade cable which I have noticed has allowed me the use of a lot more different amps than the standard one has.
I find the amp to give a rather warm feel which I found very strange when I tried the old now HeadRoom Max amp with a pair of balanced HD800's and I thought I was in musical heaven as well as buying a total AirHead before this purchase. The point that I'm trying to make is, is that it's a very good amp for its price just not what I was after. Also as a side mention I'm using the Astrodyne power supply which is rather good.
To all that read this review all I can say is that I hope this has helped even just the tiniest as before I bought this amp there were no reviews on how it sounded and what the unit was paired with and what headphones where used.
Thanks for reading.
EDIT: Thoughts after a recent head-fi meet.
I had a chance to try out other's gear i.e. headphones, amps, dacs, and cables. I had my usual set-up PC (Winamp) - optical out - HeadRoom Desktop Amp - Headphones. I again went through the same demo'ing but only changing the cans just to see if all my problems were to do with the amp, and boy was I wrong! It powered the HD800's, T1's, and a range of Grado's and Ultrasone's with ease and grace.
The difference was nothing that I had expected. I detest the HD800's were my favourite can above all, on note: this amp almost beat the lehmannaudio black cube linear which is from a much higher price bracket.
Although it must be noted this amp/dac is exactly as advertised "A Swiss Army Knife" it does almost everything and anything, however asked to excel at one thing in particular it can't because it simply isn't designed for that, it is an all in one product. Period.
One final issue that really bugs me with the amp/dac is that the USB part of the DAC chipset can't handle anything above 24bit/48k and won't oversample unlike the optical/coaxial part of the chipset. Speaking of which - on the Cirrus website it says that it can handle 24/192 audio, up-sampled.
As noted above with the K 702's it does have a rather thin sound and I've learned not to expect a whole lot more even when using $20k gear they won't sound a great deal better.
Based on all above thoughts I'll be using my HeadAmp for sometime to come, even I do get my HD800's. Trust me I won't be in much of a rush to be buying a better amp or DAC.
If you read all that above and it made some sense, I hope it helped you on your way to purchase albeit a little wiser than I was. Thanks for reading.

Football decision among next steps for ETSU
JOHNSON CITY — The departure of Dave Mullins as athletic director left one big gridiron-laden question on the minds of many ETSU alumni and fans.
Is Division I college football coming back to the Tri-Cities?
That question will be answered in the coming months according to ETSU President Dr. Brian Noland and new interim Director of Athletics Dr. Richard Sander, who spoke with members of the media to outline a short-term plan for the department.
The most prominent of recommendations made by Noland's Committee for 125 on athletics during Judge Kenneth Bailey's presentation in December, the return of football at ETSU is something that has been discussed vividly by alumni, faculty and students since former president Dr. Paul Stanton decided to cut the program in 2003.
A decision on the sport's future is something that could impact the school on many levels, including conference affiliation and the overall plan of the university in years to come. It's something that will be determined by a number of parties starting today when students return to campus.
"Over the course of the next four to six weeks we will have an in depth conversation around football," Noland said. "We can't move forward without a conversation involving our university. … We have to start a program from scratch and if that's the direction the students choose for us to take than we, through the leadership of Dr. Sander, are full steam ahead to position us to initiate a football program at ETSU."
When discussing football, conference affiliation obviously enters the fray of conversation. Noland said he and Sander are looking at the state of athletics nationwide on a daily basis.

|Drummers Topic Name = Drummer's Name. Use this forum to discuss the drummers profiled on DrummerWorld
|Thread Tools
Mark Sanders
He constantly amazed me with his playing - both taste and technique - and the sounds he got! He was doing some "extended techniques" on the drums - but so quick and precise and totally with the music (all free... "of course!" says the peanut gallery) and when he needed to get rumblin' - he simply destroyed the drums. So loud and downright scary at times.
And a hell of a guy! Me and my friend Nat Catchpole hung out with him at the pub afterwards and we talked about all sorts of stuff - from the meaning of what we play to Soft Machine.
Hangin' around the Youtube parts of the Interweb, I am finding more and more great clips of musicians - so here's one more. Check out the way Mark develops his ideas - from the very beginning till he stops at the end for the bass solo. This man is a giant.
Re: Mark Sanders
Guess no one else is seein' what I'm seein'...
There's about 10 clinics in what he's doing on just that one clip.
I wish I could find something on youtube when he really goes off...
Re: Mark Sanders
Checked it out Erik, hated the music sorry just not my thing but at least I'm trying!! But the drums.....wow, Mr Sanders can certainly play! Keep educating me??
'I Wanna Be The Man With The 50lb Hammer'
Re: Mark Sanders
That's some damn good playing I have to say I love how developes his idea becoming more and more and intense, really answering to Brotzmann's playing, then drops it then explores into a similar idea, brings it back up then totally lets go for the bass solo, like you said - but unfortunately I'm no expert on free jazz and that was my amateur take on it.
Can you give me some recommended listening? I'm really interested in getting into some of this stuff.
I'm trying to get some of Coltrane's more free stuff (I ordered Sun Ship a while back which isn't quite free but is menna be when he's going in that direction, plus its with the classic quartet - should be getting it soon), but I want to hear some true free jazz...
"You can play a shoestring if your sincere." - John Coltrane
Re: Mark Sanders
No need to be an expert, man. Most of the people at shows I went to/played weren't musicians or necessarily "experts" but just enjoyed how the music affected them/made them feel. Your amateur take was great.
If you want to hear some inspired Mark Sanders, check out Evan Parker's "The Two Seasons". It's hard to come by, might be out of print, but maybe you can download it somewhere. I haven't checked... Evan Parker is without a doubt the most technically gifted saxophonist I've ever heard. He came out of the Euro free scene in the 60's - when the Europeans were trying to answer Coltrane's music with their own. He's on Brotzmann's seminal "Machine Gun" which is a tour de force of "free jazz" with a young lineup that would all become monsters of the scene. I don't know if I'd start with Machine Gun - but maybe - if you're feeling adventurous.
I was just listening to Nels Cline and Gregg Bendian (another AMAZING drummer) on "Interstellar Space Revisited - The Music of John Coltrane" - where they do Trane and Ali's duo album "Interstellar Space". Both of these albums are amazing (Get both, but start with Trane's) and what Nels does on the guitar is a great tribute to that album. People asked the question: "Do we need a tribute album for Interstellar Space?" but they play the music in their own way and make it their own. Great stuff. I'll make a Free Jazz Drumming thread - if there isn't one already.
But I'd say pick up Trane's box set "Complete Quartet Recordings" on Impulse! - It's probably around $100 but it's a great way to see Trane's development into the outer stuff - and almost helps your ear develope along the way. BTW, "Amen" on Sun Ship is one of my absolute favorite tracks ever.

I remember seeing that back in 1979 and it was such a shock to everyone! It is so sad to watch. His life had so many twists and turns! The "good doctor" sure knew how to keep the money flowing!! If he gave up giving Elvis those pills he sure had a lot to lose!!! I bet the farthest thing from his mind was getting Elvis off those drugs! "I will give you lots of pills if you pay my bills"
I just do not know how these people sleep at night!!! And to think that on Elvis` 30th anniversary Dr Nick was one of the honored guests for fans to visit at Dolan drive!!! Oh, how quick they forget!!

Capello could drop Rio Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand looks most at risk from Fabio Capello's refusal to pay any attention to the history books when he selects his England squad for Euro 2012.
Ferdinand was omitted from Capello's squad to face Montenegro on Friday despite featuring in Manchester United's last three games.
It has raised the previously unthinkable prospect of Ferdinand missing out on next summer's finals, with Gary Cahill, Phil Jagielka, Joleon Lescott and now Phil Jones pushing to start alongside skipper John Terry.
Certainly it is a far cry from the Sven-Goran Eriksson and Steve McClaren eras, when the coaches seemed far too close to senior stars.
But Capello has re-emphasised his only criteria for selection will be form.
"I select the player, not the name," said Capello.
"Rio needs to play games. He has not played enough. He only played two games and last week he was on the bench.
"Sorry, but it's my job. I check all the players before I select them. If the player is at the top of his form I select them."
It will leave Frank Lampard also sweating on his place, whilst confirming to Wayne Rooney that he faces a fight to claim a starting berth when his suspension eventually ends at some point during the group stages.
Indeed, Rooney now appears to have cost himself any involvement in next month's friendly with Spain at Wembley, and will not start any match until such time as he is available.

Akasha shrugged. "Considering you lot are a Gnoll, some sort of retard, an Elf, and a dumb blonde who has no idea how this place works? Yeah, pretty much."
"Oh, nice tits, love." Akasha winked at Karin before apparently casting some sort of spell, the arcane energies of the tower flickering and dancing around the bald beauty.
The pillars flared up, flames intermingling with the blue strands of arcana. The flames roared - literally - as a large Fire Elemental tore itself - literally - from the stream. While all this was going on, orbs of arcane energy continued to stream towards the central stream, some new ones emerging, as well.
Well, fuck, I guess the bald bitch really did figure out how the place worked. She even had a really smug look on her face! Although between the rest of her body and the giant fucking fire elementals, the group probably wasn't looking at her face.
Red squares are Fire Elementals. They begin acting on Akasha's next turn. They may or may not be under her control.
edit: Fixed map and mentioned the orbs.

The order arrived on time. The product is good and works well for the large Ancestry Project I am working on because I do not want to glue down 100 year old pictures. If there is a problem with the order, you are quick to fix the problem. I just hope you don't change the products I am using before I finish my projects.
Thank You, Sharron
I do like the matte finish and they are so hard to find.
The holes were way off. I had to make them fit.

Sovereign is a hunting and survival game designed to be a relaxing experience. Similar to real life sport hunting the challenge in Sovereign comes from actually hitting your target. Difficulty is left to the game player in that you can walk up and smack your target with an arrow at close range, but it's more challenging and rewarding to take your time and nail that target from a good distance. The choice is yours. Sovereign also adds the additional element of survival and inventory management. You must keep yourself alive by collecting food from the animals that you kill and retrieve items such as wood to create new arrows so the hunt can continue. Sovereign is an enjoyable game to work on so I expect to continue development of this game by adding additional environments, animals and features as time progresses so check back!
Sovereign is sporting a new outfit and a host of new additions with the release of version 1.3!
Download Sovereign 1.2 and enjoy new environments and weapon upgrades.
Sovereign version 1.1 is now available for download. Version 1.1 includes new graphics, animals and functionality.

by Seth Zuckerman*
Spring 2001
While genetic engineering is a pervasive affront to the wildness that surrounds us, humans have manipulated Mother Nature's bounty for some time. In particular, we've developed a talent for cultivating and mixing the nearest and dearest elements of the natural world: our food. Crossing different varieties of crops and livestock has long been used to create hybrid flora and fauna that better meets our needs, suits our tastes and fills our stomachs (and wallets).
How do these subtle changes in color, texture and yield affect the other members of the ecosystem? Could an innocuous supermarket salmon steak really impact anything other than your gut? You be the judge.
*The following was adapted from "Behind That Farmed Salmon Steak," by Seth Zuckerman, in Salmon Nation: People and Fish at the Edge (Ecotrust, 1999; Edward C. Wolf and Seth Zuckerman, editors).
The sight of a whole salmon in the supermarket conjures up the feral power of these fish, which range the high seas for years until they zero in on their home river for the final chapter of their lives. They evade sea lions and grizzly bears, leap cascades and waterfalls, and couple in streams too small to contain their robust bodies. Ingest a morsel of this fish, the word "salmon" seems to promise, and it will imbue you with some of that wild strength and perseverance.
But if you eat salmon these days, you may well be consuming a product that's no wilder than a grain-fed steer. A glut of farmed salmon - amounting to roughly half of the world's supply - has flooded the market from fish feedlots around the globe. These factory farms consist of mesh pens anchored in cold-water bays and inlets in places such as Norway, Scotland, Chile, Washington State and British Columbia. The ingredients in the salmon they produce are quite different from what goes into their free-ranging cousins captured by nets or hooks.
In captivity, salmon are raised on a diet of oily brown fishmeal pellets made from inexpensive fish such as anchovetas, sardines and mackerel. Raising each pound of farmed salmon takes four pounds of those smaller fish, in effect wasting three-quarters of the catch that is processed into fishmeal. In this way, B.C. farms alone account for a loss of nearly 90 thousand tons of edible protein each year. Wild salmon flesh gets its color from the fish's prey, particularly krill, tiny shrimp-like crustaceans. But the fishmeal pellets turn the flesh of farmed salmon a pale gray. Fish farmers know that gray salmon won't sell well, so they add dye to their feed. And because salmon are natural-born predators, smaller native fish (including juvenile wild salmon) that stray into the farms don't stand a chance. Salmon farmers notice that when native oolichan (minnow-sized smelt that are important to indigenous people's diets) pass by the pens, the salmon stop eating their fishmeal pellets but "mysteriously" continue to gain weight.

Thunder unveil new blue alternate jerseys to wide-ranging response
By Ben Golliver
The Oklahoma City Thunder officially revealed new alternate jerseys on Thursday. The plain dark blue uniform features vertical lettering that reads "Thunder" on the right side with a large number in white over the heart. The shorts are adorned with "OKC" lettering on the side. The goal seems to be a simple, vintage look, which is a slightly odd turn for a team that is currently in its fifth year of existence.
The Oklahoman reports that Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook,
James Harden, Kevin Martin and company will wear the jerseys, which first leaked in the NBA 2K13 video game, 13 times this season, beginning with Friday's game against the Pistons.
Unique new jerseys + popular team = instant, passionate reaction. Here's a round-up of first impressions from basketball writers and fans alike.
Rob Mahoney, The Point Forward: "There's some definite potential in the minimalistic design of the Thunder's new alternates, but stripping down a uniform scheme to its basics puts an even greater attention on its specific execution. Vertically oriented text? Broken lines from jersey to shorts? It's as if OKC's designers got so caught up in simplification that they abstained from common aesthetic sense." Rating: 3 out of 10
Ben Eagle, SI.com: "What are they throwing back to?" Rating: 4 out of 10
Royce Young, Daily Thunder: "I'm a big fan of the idea. They have a real throwback look to them (a la the Cincinnati Royals), but the color scheme is just weird. Navy and blue is cool, if that looked anything at all like the Thunder's regular … anything. All these uniforms needed was a hit of yellow/orange/Oklahoma blue somewhere in them. … They aren't completely horrible. They're just a missed opportunity. Why not go with "OKC"? Why only the two colors? Why navy and white?" Rating: 6 out of 10
Tzvi Twersky, Slam Magazine: "For such a stylish group of guys, these kind of miss the mark. But I see what they were going for." Rating: 5 out of 10
J.E. Skeets, The Basketball Jones: "I dig the clean navy/white color scheme — it's definitely better than their current crayon look — but why wasn't I told that vertical is the new horizontal?" Rating: 8 out of 10.
David Roth, The Classical: "I'm of two minds on the uniforms, if only because they both look like sports-themed children's pajamas that would've been sold while Jimmy Carter was president, and because I think that's actually kind of a cool look, and an improvement on the current uniforms." Rating: 7.5 out of 10
Matt Moore, CBSSports.com's Eye On Basketball: "I'm giving it a deuce, because that's what it's going to look like on the court." Rating: 2 out of 10
Holly MacKenzie, SportsNet.ca: "I thought I was a fan of these, except for the way they make Kevin Durant look like he's 12 years old, but the more I look at them the more I can't decide if I like them or absolutely hate them. They make me feel some kind of way. I'm just not sure what that way is." Rating: 6 out of 10
James Herbert, Hardwood Paroxysm: "The jersey is plain and seemingly unrelated to the Thunder's normal color scheme and logo, but it's superior to that weird Spurs alternate." Rating: 4 out of 10
Brian Floyd, SB Nation: "It looks like they're trying to be the Nets and Heat without quite being the Nets and Heat, but they're still clean. That vertical thing isn't quite working for me." Rating: 7 out of 10
Ethan Sherwood Strauss, HoopSpeak: "The Sacramento Kings didn't play in the 70′s, but if they had, I'd imagine it'd look like that." Rating: 5 out of 10
Kevin Pelton, Basketball Prospectus (and Seattle resident): "I don't want to have to hate on the Thunder because I'm biased, but those jerseys are turrible." Rating: 2 out of 10
Sean Meagher, OregonLive.com: "Decent idea, bad execution. It's like a confused version of this old Blazers look." Rating: 5 out of 10
Ben Golliver, The Point Forward: "Good color choice and vertical is generally fresh, but these just don't look like a finished product. The throwback feel is a touch disorienting considering the circumstances." Rating: 4 out of 10
Average rating of this completely arbitrary panel: 4.9 out of 10
And, now, some thoughts from the Twitterverse.
@riNickulas: "Look like some old AAU jerseys."
@airricuhJay_09: "Eastbay catalog."
@SamHumphreys34: "The Thunder need orange jerseys."
@dlentzsofresh: "The Thunder alternates are dope, should be their full time jerseys."
@ScottGerbal: "New thunder jerseys = fire!!!"
@GotEm_Coach: "Worst jerseys in the league just got worse."
@lindsaymills: "Those Thunder jerseys are awful. Even worse than their regular ones."
@AlanSiegelDC: "All three versions of the Thunder uniforms look like the ones used by high school teams in '90s sitcoms."
@JonesOnTheNBA: "These Thunder alternates are as bad as their road jerseys … I know Sam Presti wants a no frills team, but those uniforms are turrible. No personality to them whatsoever."
@AirAsher15: "The new Thunder jerseys are super sexy."
@dc_fusion: "you guys and gals are missing the pt with Thunder's alternate jerseys: with less clutter, there exists more space for corporate advertising"
@_CherieAmour: "Why do people think that the new thunder jerseys are ugly?? And why does it matter what they wear…?"

NIPIGON, Ont. -- A pair of heroic Bison Transport team drivers recently came to the aid of a motorist in distress, according to the company. At about 3:45 a.m. on Nov. 29, George and Cynthia Sutherland were heading westbound on the Northern Route 17 heading towards Nipigon, Ont., when George noticed tire tracks in the snow that left the highway. No vehicle was in sight.
A quarter-kilometre up the road, the pair were flagged down by a 20-year-old man standing in the eastbound lane.
The Sutherlands pulled over to find the man with an open wound on his forehead and no hat, with ice in his hair and snow and ice packed into his jacket. The temperature at the time was -11 C with a wind chill of -17 C.
Noting the man was disoriented and freezing, George and Cynthia got the stranger into their transport truck and gave him a winter jacket. When they believed the man was not warming up quickly enough, they put him into their bed and wrapped him up.
They then called the OPP and met up with them, as well as paramedics, at a Tim Horton's near Nipigon. After an examination, the emergency team discovered a cut on his leg in addition to his head wound from being thrown from his half-tonne truck in an accident earlier that night.
It was later discovered that before George and Cynthia arrived, another motorist did stop to assist the man, offering him shoes – which had been thrown off from the force of the accident – though he had no room to offer a ride in his vehicle. He later reported his findings at the local police station.
"I know for a fact that hypothermia would have set in very quickly had George and Cynthia not stopped to assist this young man," Bison safety counselor Martin Cowie later told Truck News.
George and Cynthia, we need more people like you in the world, so that more stories like these can have a happy ending. Your both caring and compassionate people... the kind of people I am glad are on the road. Great Job!!

Flying in the snow
Flying in the snow
The morning after the convention last year I got to fly in the snow if you count a few flakes. I have the kites ready and even with my cold/flu I am not going to miss the opportunity to fly if we have snow and enough wind to get a kite off the ground.
Driving to South Padre might be interesting but the weekend looks like it might be much better than was expected the beginning of the week. I look forward to seeing the pictures of sunny skies while a few hundred miles north they are talking about snow.
Re: Flying in the snow
It looks like the snow possibility for the year is over. We had warm temps in the cloud area that caused the proposed snow to fall as rain and then hit the freezing ground in some areas further north. I ended up staying inside and nursing a cold with the kites safely kept in the bags. The weekend turned nice for the folks that braved the trip to South Padre. From the reports that I heard the week changed from cold and misrable to a cool and nice windy day when the festival started.

Brad Wall, MLA
Swift Current
President of Executive Council
Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs
Brad Wall was first elected Premier of Saskatchewan in the November 2007 provincial election.
His government was re-elected in the 2011 provincial election with 64 per cent of the popular vote – the highest percentage of any political party in Saskatchewan history.
Premier Wall's government can point to a remarkable list of achievements, including:
Prior to his career in politics, Premier Wall was active in his local business community and was involved in service work spanning local events, economic development and health care recruitment.
One of his earliest forays into politics was in the late 1980's as a founding member and western co-chair of the Alliance for the Future of Young Canadians. This was an organization dedicated to promoting free trade.
Brad Wall was born and raised in Swift Current, which is in Saskatchewan's southwest. He still lives there with his wife, Tami, as well as two of their three children: Colter and Faith. Their daughter Megan is enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan.
He received his post secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan where he earned an Honours degree in Public Administration.
Since his election in the fall of 2007, Brad Wall has garnered significant positive attention on the provincial and national media scene. In fact, Chantal Hébert from the Toronto Star named Brad Wall Canada's most underrated politician in 2011 and CTV's Don Martin named him the 2011 Politician of the Year.
Below are several quotes from media outlets across Saskatchewan and Canada:
"Brad Wall's subtle touch might be the very thing that has turned the Sask. Party into the formidable political machine it is…"
- Mandryk, Murray. The Regina Leader-Post, December 6, 2011.
"Wall is a moderate and a pragmatist, but he will bring his own Saskatchewan swagger to the federal scene. He has already shown his wicked sense of humour before national opinion leaders in Ottawa….he presides over a province that is bringing back its young, poaching workers from other provinces, has the country's lowest unemployment rate, fast-flowing revenue and a balanced budget."
- Harper, Tim. The Toronto Star, November 9, 2011.
"I didn't know what to expect….he had everybody sitting on the edge of their seats. His message was right on target. I'll be surprised if he doesn't have a greater future in Canadian politics."
- Harrell, Bobby. Globe and Mail, September 14, 2011.
"Saskatchewan's Premier, Brad Wall, arguably Canada's most articulate pitchman…"
- Cattaneo, Claudia. The National Post, September 8, 2011.
Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid described Premier Wall as "...inspiration wrapped up in clarity, humour and eloquence."
- Braid, Don. Calgary Herald columnist, July 8, 2008.
"Anyone interested in the difference between good management and bad should take a look at Saskatchewan. There, the provincial government just brought down a balanced budget. It's the only one in Canada."
- Victoria Times Colonist, April 4, 2010.
"Amid the ruin that has devastated most governments' balance sheets, Saskatchewan stands as a beacon of light, tabling another balanced budget yesterday. The province has a tradition of fiscal rectitude that crosses party lines, but what is encouraging about this budget is that the government has taken a pre-emptive stab at spending cuts, although times there are relatively good. Other jurisdictions could stand to learn from its example."
- The Globe and Mail, March 25, 2010.
"Mr. Wall is anything but dull. At the Public Policy Forum's annual testimonial dinner in Toronto Thursday night, the Premier rocked the house, impressing the audience, full of heavy-weight bureaucrats and other politicians, with his wit, impeccable comedic timing and self-deprecating stories."
- Taber, Jane. The Globe and Mail, April 3, 2009.
"Premier Wall has done wonders promoting Saskatchewan as a place to take in a football game, do business and establish yourself. We give our regards to Premier Wall and his team, and say: Take notes, Canada!"
- Canadian Business Journal, April, 2009.

"Girls" Style: Get Marnie's Classy Day-to-night Outfit
We are SO happy "Girls" is back on HBO-we're endlessly entertained by the hilarious banter, the realistic storylines, and, of course, the great clothes. After each episode we'll be highlighting one outfit we loved. This week our gaze is fixated on Hannah's best friend Marnie. No matter how much drama she's facing, when Marnie walks out the door she always looks confident and like she has life all figured out. We really admire that! She embraces vibrant colors, and her sophisticated sheath dresses are perfect for the office, cocktails with friends, or a book launch (though they are definitely out of place at a Bushwick loft party).

May 4, 2013
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The University of Tennessee at Martin softball team pounded out four home runs en route to plating 25 runs in today's Ohio Valley Conference doubleheader sweep over host Southeast Missouri 11-9 and 14-5.
After recent offensive struggles, the Skyhawks (33-18, 14-10 OVC) erupted for 27 hits in today's twinbill. Sophomore Kenzi Tate, the team's leading offensive member, expanded her staggering numbers by going 6-for-9 with one home run and six RBIs. Lauren Smith, Casey Vincent and Deven Wilson all added three RBIs each.
"I was very pleased with the way our girls came out and competed today," said UT Martin head coach Donley Canary. "We've had some struggles recently but when you tally 27 hits and push across 25 runs, you stand a good chance. There are still things to work on, but it's great to see our young players like Deven and Lindsey produce and give us that spark today."
Game One: UT Martin 11, Southeast Missouri 9
In a game which saw six lead changes and 20 combined runs, the Skyhawks came out victories over the host Redhawks 11-9 in Game 1.
UT Martin got on the board in the first inning as Leah Taylor singled up the middle with two outs. Taylor quickly shifted gears, swiping her 38th base and passing her own UTM single season record of 37. Tate let the speedster continue to shuffle, singling up the middle to score Taylor from second.
After the Redhawks tied the game in the bottom of the first, UTM got back on the board in the second. Williams led off the inning with a single up the middle. Smith drove a ball into deep right field, scoring Williams from third on a sacrifice fly and giving the Skyhawks the 2-1 advantage.
The game was once again tied heading into the top of the third, until the Skyhawks broke the game open with a five run inning. After Kelsey Dixon reached on an error, Kayla Wade reached on an infield single. Taylor then loaded the bases with another infield single with Tate waiting in the wings. Tate made the Redhawks pay, singling up the middle and plating Dixon and Wade before Taylor eventually scored on a throwing error. Smith followed a Wilson single, with a double into right, scoring Tate and Wilson.
Wade continued to move up the all-time leader boards, scampering for her eighth triple of the season into left center. Taylor let Wade catch her breath, driving a two run home run into deep center, allowing Wade to jog home.
The Skyhawks added two runs in the top of the sixth as Tate drove in yet another run before the host Redhawks came to life in the bottom half of the innings. After a pair of walks and a single, SEMO hit a grand slam and a solo blast to left center to bring the host within two.
The Redhawks would threaten in the seventh, but UTM would withhold the rally and grab the 11-9 victory.
Despite the offensive numbers, Tate (17-5, 2.88 ERA) used her strong right arm to earn her team-leading 17th victory in the circle. Tate picked up three strikeouts in 5.1 innings of work. Freshman Autumn Glenn pitched 1.2 innings, earning her second save of the season.
Game Two: UT Martin 14, Southeast Missouri 5
UT Martin used three home runs from unlikely heroes to down host Southeast Missouri in Game 2 of the three game series, extending the Skyhawks winning streak to three.
After giving up two early runs in the bottom of the first inning to the host Redhawks, the Skyhawks quickly continued where they left off from Game 1, tallying five runs in the top of the second inning.
Tate got the offense started in the second by doubling into right field. After being moved to third, Wilson tallied her first RBI of the day with a single into right. Smith followed the single by pulling a double of her own down the left field line. Vincent quickly followed with a double into left center, plating Smith and Jessie Britt. Sophomore Lindsey Feigl took advantage of her start at second base, lifting her first career home run over the left field wall, scoring two and rounding out the inning for the visiting Skyhawks.
The Skyhawks didn't stay quiet for long, using the fifth inning to separate themselves from their opponent. After Wilson reached on an error and Vincent singled into left, Feigl capitalized once again, singling into left and loading the bases with one out. Dixon took a bases loaded walk, scoring Wilson. Wade soon joined the action, placing a double into left field, resulting in two RBIs. Wade would later score as the Skyhawks pushed across four runs in the inning.
Williams got the sixth inning started, drawing a walk. Smith picked up her second of three hits with a single to left, advancing Williams into scoring position. Vincent then picked up her third RBI of the game as she singled into right field, scoring Williams and pushing the Skyhawk lead out to 10-3.
Southeast Missouri set the first two batters down with ease, but the Skyhawk offense would not go down so easily. Faced with two outs, Taylor drew a walk. Tate, the Skyhawks home run leader, launched a two run home run over the center field wall, scoring Taylor. Williams followed the blast by reaching base once again before Wilson drove a deep fly over the left field fence, plating the pair.
The host Redhawks would threaten in the bottom of the seventh, pushing across two runs but was not enough as UTM killed the rally and took the sweep of the day.
Hitting wasn't the only thing that Vincent (14-8, 2.40 ERA) excelled at, notching her 26th complete game and 14th win of the season inside the circle. Vincent struck out four batters while not allowing a walk and three earned runs.
The Skyhawks will be back in action tomorrow, May 5, as both teams close out the regular season with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. With a win, UTM will secure the No. 4 seed in next week's OVC tournament, set to begin on Wednesday.

This week, on the interweb... (Don't forget to follow us @thexfactor_au and tweet along with the hashtag #xfactorau!)
Nov 15, 2012
Samantha Jade hit #1 on iTUNES! A few years ago Samantha's record NEVER got released due to the line up priority of the record label and its marketing division was on a tight budget, not enough to support the release of her album so Sammi couldn't wait any longer as she wishes to proceed with her music career so she decided to just go back home to Australia instead, so she HAS NOT dipped her foot in the music pool yet so she still deserves one last shot! GIVE HER A CHANCE PEOPLE! INTERNATIONAL FANS will BUY her album! I'd buy them when released! Samantha Jade is an INTERNATIONAL STAR! Australia be proud she will be representing you WORLDWIDE with her Aussie swag!! Samantha Jade is an INTERNATIONAL STAR and will sell Records Across the GLOBE! We ( INTERNATIONAL FANS ) are just bloody waiting for her ALBUM to reach us and to be released so we could buy it!!!! Australia be proud she will be representing you WORLDWIDE! I'd buy Bella's album as wellas the Collectives.Reply
Knowing the premise of the show is to find an artist that can sell albums WORLDWIDE, leaves me wondering what the people of Australia are basing thier voting on. I'm sorry, but as nice a guy as Jason may be, he most certainly will NEVER be the kind of artist that will sell albums worldwide. In fact, in my opinion, of all of the top 12, Jason has the WEAKEST voice. People need to stop making the mistake of voting with thier hearts and start voting with thier ears. I WON'T slam Jason but I am definately frustrated with the voting public of Australia this time round. I, myself, would buy the album of Samantha Jade tomorrow if it hit the street and even would take a listen to The Collective but I would NEVER spend a single penny for anything buy Jason Owen. Sorry Jason but I am just speaking the truth.Reply
Monday November 19, GRAND FINALS = Australia & International Fans across the globe PLEASE LET US ALL COME TOGETHER AND VOTE FOR SAMANTHA JADE TO WIN X FACTOR NEXT-WEEK!!!! WE NEED TO VOTE 10x THE EFFORT!!!! To vote for Samantha call: 1902 55 75 02 or SMS "SAMANTHA" to 1977 8888 INTERNATIONAL FANS ( USA, UK, ASIA, EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST, SOUTH AMERICA, CANADA, ) Go To Australia X Factor FACEBOOK PAGE AND VOTE FOR FREE & TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Coach Nick Bryant reports that his team got in another solid week of practice and got a lot accomplished. "We hosted a 7 on 7 passing game with Coffee and Franklin County. We tied with Coffee County and beat Franklin County. It was an exciting day for us. Many players played well on both sides of the ball with many Grundy fans out to support the team.
Offensively we started out a bit sluggish but quickly got rolling. On the defensive side we played real good from start to finish, with some of the younger guys doing real well," said Bryant.
The Quarterback Club is having a meeting today (Thursday) about the Jamboree and Coach Bryant says a lot of help is still needed for that event. "We still need help for the jamboree and the season from fans and parents. If you are interested in helping, contact Kenny Nolan, Carter Underhill or myself to get involved," added the coach.
Grundy has two more scrimmages set before the Jamboree traveling to Whitwell August 6, and to Coffee County August 13.
The Kickoff Dinner has been set for August 12 at Grundy County High School at 6 p.m. As always fans can meet the team and coaches as well as enjoy a great meal at that event.

Step 1: Removing The Cap
Step 2: Making the Cap PERMANENTLY Removeable.
You just saved me HUNDREDS of dollars a year buying needless refills for our otherwise-great and much loved Shark Steam & Spray Mop. I've been looking for a way to refill the Shark Energized Cleaner bottle, as we go through them WAY too quickly, and they are expensive! (Even more expensive than Swiffer WetJet bottles.) The 90 seconds in very hot water advice did the deed, after weeks of me trying to figure out how to get that darn cap off! However, unlike Swiffer bottles the cap does not have a few prongs on it. Rather the entire rim of the cap itself is lined with ridges that catch into a locking ring where the cap end meets the bottle right after the screw threads. So I'll have to do this technique each time I want to refill the bottle … but that's no big deal compared to spending anywhere from $6 to $8 for a bottle that lasts at best for 3-4 cleanings!!
I found the water doesn't need to BOIL, just be VERY hot. Then, rather than clipping the "teeth", I just cut that whole ring away with a sharp utility knife.
Now I can just mix water and a bit of cleaner. WHOO! looking at only pennies to refill now, rather than $5+ for the damn things!
Would also like to be able to make re-useable pads for it. I will keep looking on this site. Thank again
This is where you can learn to make cloths to fit your swiffer if you don't have it by now. Hope it helps.

I used the hot tap water for about 1/2 a minute, twisted it off with my hand and a towel, whipped out the dremmel sanding bit and zip zip, had it done in less than 3 minutes!
Thanks again!
1. Get a pair of channel-lock pliers.
2. Adjust the pliers to the width of the bottle cap so that you won't crush it when you apply pressure.
3. Twist off the cap.
4. Fill the bottle with floor cleaner.
5. Replace the cap.
The cap will screw back on without a problem and you won't need the pliers to remove it the next time.

Snapshot Issue 6 January 2005
HFE protein
What do Ludwig van Beethoven and Pascal Couchepin, leader of the Swiss government, have in common? Music? Politics? Nope: hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). HH results in an overload of iron in the body, ultimately hindering the function of major organs. It is nothing special though it happens to be the most common autosomal recessive disorder affecting approximately one out of three hundred individuals of North European descent.
The symptoms of HH have been known for decades but the culprit, which may well be at the heart of iron regulation, was only discovered in 1996. HFE is a protein whose 3D structure is very similar to that of a certain type of MHC molecule but, unlike the latter, has no apparent role in the immune system. This in itself was quite a discovery. HFE is lodged in cell membranes and binds both to transferrin receptor (TfR) and iron-loaded transferrin. Transferrin is also a protein which carts iron around the body and delivers it to various cells. Once transferrin and TfR are bound to HFE, the ternary complex enters the cell via endocytosis. The iron now inside the cell is consequently released and either used or stored.
Hereditary hemochromatosis is caused by a mutation in the HFE primary sequence which ultimately modifies the proteins overall tertiary structure. As a result, HFE doesnt appear at the cells surface and the bodys iron metabolism is disrupted. Consequently, iron accumulates or decreases where it shouldnt, and major organs such as the heart, the pancreas and the liver function inadequately.
As for Beethoven, he had been suffering from abdominal pains since his early thirties and many thought that this was probably due to cirrhosis brought on by the exaggerated consumption of alcohol. Today though, some believe that the musicians ill health may well be due to the combined effects of alcohol and HH. No one will ever know though; neither a histological examination nor hepatic iron concentration were done at the time.
So besides sharing popularity, albeit distant in time and pursuits, it could be that Beethoven and Pascal Couchepin also share a disease. However, one of them is definitely better off when it comes to diagnosis and treatment.

There are moments in life when you realize it's time to make a change for the better. To update your conscious, if you will, and freshen up a bit. To re-imagine your intentions and update your style that you may grow, evolve, and progress into the unknown future of our ever-changing world. Just as we encourage our clients to do on a regular basis, our small team has been extending the additional time and effort to tend to our brand. We acknowledged that it was time to schedule extra hours away from client work to internally review everything. As a company, we had to ask the essential questions, "Where are we NOW? Where are we heading? How can we improve?"
After countless hours of internal review, brainstorming, meetings, and thoughtful deliberation, we had ironed out an official plan—we formalized a process and procedure to propel us into the future. We decided to schedule internal updates–change– into our daily work routine because, as a small business, we know that there's plenty of room to grow. We acknowledge that we must spend a little time in front of the mirror everyday to make sure we like what we see; if something isn't looking right—if we don't like what we see—let's make the proper adjustments. It's an evolving process.
We are applying the changes. We've tidied up our brand, updated the logo, stripped away the clutter, simplified our messaging, and worked over-overtime on what we believe to be one of the most important assets of any company: a beautiful, clean, modern, optimal, original website. We are proud of our work and eager to improve. Click around our site for a while and let us know what you think. Your comments will let us know what we are doing right, and how we can do better.
Change has never felt this exciting. Thanks to all who have tracked our progress through the years. Keep checking back with us to see what we're up to and how we're evolving. The future is looking bright.
