Forty-eight days.
That's when the Colorado High School Activities Association sanctioned football season begins.
For those who don't want to grab the calendar and count that far ahead, that means Aug. 13. That's when high school football programs across the state can suit up and commence practicing for the 2007 season.
Ridgway is hoping to be one of those programs putting on helmets and lacing up cleats on that second Monday in August. But is 48 days really enough time to schedule games, order uniforms and helmets, and, not to mention – find a field? Well, only time will tell.
There are numerous pros and cons to this situation. The first touchdown that's been scored is funding. Victoria Hearst of Praise Him Ministries in Ridgway has graciously stepped forward and is willing to fully sponsor the financial operation of the team for its first two years.
But will money alone be enough? Sadly, no. It's going to take more than writing a check; I think everyone understands that – at least I hope, anyway.
What else does this community have going for it? A big heart and people willing to help out.
At their disposal, this community could also have two former NFL players willing to take on the role – tentatively, mind you – of developing this program. Hey, can't beat the talent from the NFL, right?
Also, the way parents and sports enthusiasts have attacked the task of building a new gymnasium at the secondary school is an indication of things to come. Don't doubt the power and the drive of the people in
So now for the bad news.
I hate to say it, but we're behind the eight-ball here folks. The clock is ticking and to me, that's the number one drawback. Plus, there's no definite coach, no field, no uniforms, no schedule, and then there's permission from CHSAA.
Better yet, it's still not clear if the team will even be eligible to compete in eight-man football at all, especially if the kids down valley from Ouray are allowed to play, which would push the enrollment classification easily into an 11-man category. Believe me guys, you won't want that and there are plenty football-smart people in the area that will be the first to acknowledge that.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm an advocate of a football program just as much as the 30 or so individuals at the football meeting on June 19. I played two years of junior high and then started all four years of high school. Actually, it was odd when I moved here last October and the closest geographic prep football game was in Montrose. And when they weren't playing in town – or the Olathe Pirates – my father-in-law and I drove all the way to Delta just to catch a game.
So in a nutshell, here's what I'm afraid of (and this is in the best interest of the future of the program because I know it will get off the ground – eventually): Are the 48 days from today (June 26) enough time to get done what needs done? I'm not 100 percent sold on it, but nor am I going to give up hope on this community. Does that classify sitting on the fence? Yes. I just have the best interest of the kids of this community in mind, but I too want to see a football team on the field.
So we as a community might just be setting ourselves, as well as our kids, up for failure with these limited resources. I know, failure is a harsh word, especially when we're talking about high school kids, but let's be realistic. That was even talked about at that June 19 meeting: this may not be the right, or even enough time. To me, nothing is worth doing unless it's done right.
However, can it be done right in 48 days? That's for the community to take on and to prove. It won't surprise me in the least if it does get done and we'll be hearing pads cracking in August.
Good luck all!

A CONTROVERSIAL late try to NSW-born Queensland centre Greg Inglis secured an 18-10 victory for the Maroons over the Blues in another pulsating State of Origin game at Etihad Stadium, in Melbourne, last night.
Blues captain Paul Gallen's temper boiled over when video referee Sean Hampstead, after several replays, awarded Inglis a try in the 73rd minute after Inglis initially lost the ball on NSW hooker Robbie Farah's foot.
Queensland fullback Billy Slater had batted back halfback Cooper Cronk's cross-field kick to Inglis, who grounded the ball after it bounced loose into the in-goal area.
The try and Johnathan Thurston's conversion gave the Maroons an eight-point lead after the game had hung in the balance at 12-10.
Explaining the decision to Gallen, referee Matt Cecchin said: ''He's ruled that it's come off the arm or the leg [of Farah].''
Gallen roared back that the Blues had not enjoyed ''the rub of the green'' all night.
''Well what was it? His arm or his leg?'' Gallen pleaded.
''How the hell was that a try? He f---ing well dropped the ball ... This is out of control. This is ridiculous.''
Slater's tackle on a run-away Michael Jennings two minutes before Inglis scored saved a NSW try that could have given the Blues a win and a 1-0 series lead heading into game two at ANZ Stadium, in Sydney, on June 13.
Instead, the Maroons are in the box seat to extend their record-breaking sequence to a seventh straight series win.
If they cannot wrap it up in Sydney, they have a second chance on home soil at an already sold-out Suncorp Stadium on July 4.
It was the third Origin game played at Etihad, and the near-capacity crowd of 56,021 set a record for the largest attendance at a rugby league game at the venue, surpassing the 54,833 in 2006.
Queensland led 12-4 at half-time after a first half in which the spotlight shone brightly on Knights teammates and opposing wingers Aku Uate and Darius Boyd on the eastern touch line.
Uate scored with his first touch, recovering a Farah bomb that Boyd bobbled into Uate's back, to give NSW a 4-0 lead in the sixth minute, though it took several replays to convince video referee Sean Hampstead to award it.
Boyd hit back with tries for the Maroons in the 26th and 39th minutes, taking advantage of Uate's decision to leave his wing and try to shut down the man who threw the final pass.
Billy Slater's no-look pass created Boyd's first try, then Johnathan Thurston delivered the money ball just before half-time.
Uate ran in to try to wrap up Inglis in the 14th minute but the giant Maroons centre stepped into space and it took Josh Morris's desperate tackle to bundle Inglis into touch.
The Blues had the better of the first 20 minutes and should have extended their lead when Farah darted towards the posts in the 17th minute but he was held up by three Queensland defenders.
The momentum swung Queensland's way in the 21st minute when some push and shove between Blues lock Greg Bird and Maroons prop Matt Scott fired up into a brawl.
Cecchin sent Jennings to the sin bin for 10 minutes because the troubled Penrith star ran in and threw a punch.
''You've come running into this and it had nothing to do with you. Off you go,'' the referee said.
Making the most of their extra man, the Maroons started to attack the NSW edges and it took a well-timed shove by Blues left winger Jarryd Hayne to deny Brent Tate a try in the corner in the 24th minute.
But a penalty gave Queensland another attacking set and they converted it into six points with Boyd's first try, which Thurston converted from touch.
Uate spilled a bomb in the 31st minute but Morris was back to save his winger's bacon again.
NSW five-eighth Todd Carney struggled through a rough patch.
Carney failed to find touch in the 32nd minute and lost the ball in a tackle three minutes later, then Bird compounded those errors when he was penalised for a lifting tackle on Cronk in the 38th minute.
Using that as a launch pad deep into NSW territory, Thurston wove his magic shuffling to his left and sending Boyd away to score in the corner.
Just two minutes into the second half, Jennings atoned for his sin-binning, when he picked up the scraps after Slater spilled the bomb of NSW halfback Mitchell Pearce and raced away to score.
Carney converted from close range to cut Queensland's lead to 12-10.
As they did in the first half, the Blues enjoyed a territorial advantage in the opening minutes of the second stanza.
They had a chance to post further points when awarded a penalty in the 52nd minute 40 metres out from the Queenslanders' line, however, instead of attacking, they took a shot at goal and Carney pushed his attempt wide.

by Karen Russell; Knopf, 2013; 243 pages; $24.95
Reading Karen Russell's works is an experience like no other. They are imaginative, audacious, even impudent. But most of all they haunt us, finding daring ways to comment on our human fears with such generosity of spirit that we are comforted to have an author like Russell in our corner.
Her first collection is the brilliant "St. Lucy's School for Girls Raised by Wolves." Her extraordinary novel "Swamplandia!" is about the desperate search that growing up can be. In fact, that process infuses much of Russell's writing and is the subject of some of her most eloquent work, especially many of the eight stories in "Vampires in the Lemon Grove."
A young man who has "begun to sense that his life had jumped the rails" initiates a "seduction by proxy" and wonders if the "kleptoparasitic" tendencies of his life are harbingers of his doom. Another young man comes of age in the American West as he delivers a window to neighbors and finds a dark figure at journey's end. And in one tale, the soul of Rutherford B. Hayes enters the body of a horse and discovers the souls of many other American presidents have done the same.
"The Graveless Doll of Eric Mutis" tells the unsettling story of a scarecrow found in a city park, a scarecrow whose features resemble those of a recently bullied young schoolboy. In "The New Veterans," a middle-aged massage therapist learns that "healing hurts sometimes" as she watches the tattoo on the back of a 25-year-old war veteran constantly change during their sessions together. The story is a brilliant rendering of the scars of regret that are sometimes left after losing the ones we love. A lethal parody of America's obsession with sports is at the heart of "Dougbert Shackleton's Rules for Antarctic Tailgating" even as it becomes a sad commentary on one man's inability to communicate.
The masterworks of the collection are "Reeling for the Empire" and "Vampires in the Lemon Grove."
In the former, a group of Asian immigrant girls transform into human silk worms as they are held captive in a silk factory. White hair covers their bodies and the newly transformed exact a horrific vengeance that echoes the sly wit of Edgar Allan Poe.
And in the title story, a vampire finds he is completely ill-suited for eternal life.
Karen Russell continues to dazzle with her extraordinary exploration of life's transience. "Vampires in the Lemon Grove" takes us to astonishing worlds while illuminating our own. Its real magic is that it is brave and haunting, even as it is deeply feral and astoundingly funny.
Steven Whitton is a professor of English at Jacksonville State University.

Great Moments: A Daughter Remembers
Carol Weston
From the Print Edition:
Winston Churchill, Autumn 93
My father was a big man who smoked a big cigar.
As a young girl, I wore the golden rings from his cigars with pride. As a grown woman, I still like the rich smell of a fine cigar.
Some people gag and wave their arms when caught in a cloud of secondary smoke. For them, cigar smoke is akin to bus exhaust. For me, the aroma of a good cigar is evocative and masculine. It is my madeleine. It transports me back to my childhood, a temps perdu.
I remember Dad's ritual for lighting up. He'd pull a cigar from his shirt or jacket pocket, a place where other fathers may have stored pens or neatly folded handkerchiefs. Then, Dad would slide off the paper ring and I'd accept it like a prize. While I'd slip the ring on my finger, he'd nip off the tip of the cigar and strike a match. A few purposeful tokes, and the end of the cigar would usually become a glimmering ember, a perfect circle. My job was to blow out the match. How many times did I do that? 1,000? More?
Sometimes Dad caught me by surprise and would blow a puff of gray smoke right in my face. I'd giggle and protest. Yet I knew even then that he was no fire-breathing dragon. It was like when I watched him shave in the morning, and he'd flick his fingers, spritzing water in my face. Signs of love from a man who didn't often say it with words.
He said it loud and clear in other ways: when he played Scrabble and gin rummy with my brothers and me; when he took us shopping for shoes or records; when he picked us up after school dances, when he hummed in the kitchen as he prepared turkey pot pies or vitello tonnato.
And always, there was a cigar in the picture.
When we were very young, my brothers and I once pooled our pennies to buy cigars for Dad's birthday. The local drugstore sold Tiparillos for under a dollar. We handed the clerk our carefully counted coins, and she wrapped the thin cigars in cherry-red paper. We thought we'd found the perfect gift.
I don't remember Dad thanking us, though I'm sure he did. I don't remember him smoking them, though I'm sure he didn't. I just remember three young children aiming to please and being--more or less--right on track.
Thing is, Dad preferred expensive cigars, ones we kids couldn't possibly afford. He'd drive into New York City and buy them at quality tobacco stores, coming home with hinged wooden boxes, that I knew, if I'd just be patient, would someday be mine for crayons, makeup, hair ribbons. Sometimes he bought cigars not from a tobacconist but from a Cuban who spent his days in a hidden-away shop carefully and skillfully rolling tobacco leaves.

So I just found out it's Thursday, and I haven't done my Monday update yet.
I don't usually use blocky stuff very much when I draw, so I figured I try it out. For some reason it gives of the vibe of action cartoons from when I was a kid, so I had to slap on some cartoony colour in photoshop. Other than that, it's just pen and marker. Comments and critique is as always very welcome

I know vaginal douches should be avoided at all costs, but if I'm considering anal sex, should I invest in an anal douche? I've seen a couple on (trustworthy) sex toy websites under the "sexual health" section, and they seem to be considered a good idea by users. But are they safe to use? And, er...how do you use them?! I'm pretty self-conscious, so I want to be assured everything's clean. And finally, should I invest in a specialised anal lubricant, or stick to my usual? Thanks so much.

Telluride suffered a disappointing loss on home turf on Tuesday, falling to a fired-up Crested Butte Titans squad 2-1. It was their first loss in league play.
It proved a poignant one for the Miners, who had steadily climbed the regional rankings and enjoyed the view from the top for a spell. Now Alamosa has inched ahead in the seven-team 3A Region 5 rankings, putting Telluride in the second spot ahead of No. 3 Crested Butte.
Earlier in the season, Crested Butte gave Telluride one of its toughest matches – but it was also one of Telluride's best performances, with the boys hanging tough to post a 1-1 tie. Tuesday proved a different scenario, however.
The Titans struck early, knocking a goal into the net in the first half and putting the Miners on the defensive. The halftime break offered the home team just the boost they needed, however, with Junior Slator Aplin taking the ball upfield on a breakaway in the first minute of the second half and hammering a left-footer past the keeper to put the score back at even.
The Miners, a team known for its controlled passing game, won the possession battle for the remainder of the period. But the Titans were more aggressive, consistently roughing up Telluride players and often facing the consequences with a flurry of free kicks given in Telluride's favor.
The Miners never could capitalize on their numerous opportunities, however; a failure that ultimately cost the team their undefeated record, coach Mick Hill said.
"They were the more aggressive team," Hill said of the Titans, "and though it pains me to say it, they deserved the win. We had plenty of opportunities in free kicks, we just didn't make them count."
Miners Guido Xavier, Willy Hess, Keith Hill, and Henry Sosa offered their team glimmers of hope, but to no avail. The Titans waited patiently for their opportunity to strike, which came mid-way through the final half. A momentary lapse in judgment on the part of Telluride's defense left the goal undefended, when players wrongly assumed the ball had been called out-of-bounds. A fast-footed Crested Butte player dribbled past Telluride's unknowing defense, and although the Miners recovered, it wasn't quickly enough. Miner goalie Brendan Kelley had kept his team mostly out of trouble with a series of diving saves earlier in the match, but this Titan attack proved too potent.
The score remained static at 2-1 for the rest of the match, and Hill says the loss will make it more difficult for Telluride to win home field advantage for the upcoming first round of the State Tournament, which begins next Wednesday. Seeding for the tournament will be announced on Sunday. Telluride has one last opportunity to improve its record today (Thursday, Oct. 20), when the Miners travel to Grand Junction to face that high school's junior varsity.

Wine and Restaurant Etiquette – How to respond to hospitality
Please check out this awesome interactive website tipping tool (click on the graphic below) sent to us from Nichole Stennes of HospitalityManagementSchools.org.
As with ordering and pairing wine, serving wine also has its own rules of etiquette. Keep in mind that the following refers to wine serving etiquette in a restaurant and that the main points of this ritual are to verify you received the bottle you ordered, and to make sure the wine is not spoiled. This is not a test to see how much you know about wine. Relax, and enjoy:
- Once you order the wine, your server will bring the bottle you selected to your table.
- Before opening the bottle, your server will present it to you so that you can check the vintage and year printed on the wine label to make sure it is the wine you ordered.
- The server will then open the bottle of wine in front of you at the table.
- Once the bottle is opened, the server will present you with the cork. Look at it to make sure it is not cracked or dried out because that can indicate that the wine is spoiled.
- The server will then pour you a small amount of wine to taste. Smell the sample to make sure that there is no strong aroma or offensive odor. Specifically, if the wine smells like vinegar, send it back because the wine has oxidized and is spoiled.
- If the wine smells fine, taste it. If you are trying a new wine and are not sure what it should taste like, ask the waiter. Keep in mind that it is only appropriate to send the wine back if it is spoiled. You can't send wine back because you don't like how it tastes.
- Once you approve the wine, the server will pour a glass for your guests and finish off with you.
Knowing these wine etiquette tips will help you impress your next date, client or dinner guest, making you look like a wine expert in the eyes of any guest.
When is it okay to send a bottle back (and how to do it politely) Sending back a bottle of wine at a restaurant can seem intimidating or snooty, but the occasion to do so can come up. Have the confidence and voice your informed opinion if either a) you smell or taste the wine and sense cardboard or musty basement aromas or flavors. That means it's faulty or "corked." or b) if the sommelier or waiter chose the wine for you after you described what you were looking for and the actual wine doesn't fit the description, send it back.
You can't send it back if you just don't "love" the wine you picked, unfortunately. A way to avoid this situation in the future is to order a glass or bottle that is sold "by-the-glass" and ask for a taste of it first. The wait-staff should easily oblige you.
To politely send a bottle back, first ask the waitress to smell the wine herself and comment that you think it's corked and mention the musty aromas. Or, ask her to try the wine herself either from the bottle at your table or, if you ordered it by the glass, the bottle from which it was originally poured. Communicate in an authoritative yet kind tone and you should quickly be accommodated.

Quentin West, of Pittsburgh, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for his role in cashing more than $370,000 in bogus payroll checks at Wal-Mart stores nationwide from late 2009 until August 2011, when he and two others were apprehended at the Tanger Outlet Mall in Tilton. Authorities found in their rental car stolen identities of hundreds of people and equipment used to make false ID cards and to print checks.
West faced nearly eight years in prison, but he received credit for helping federal investigators build cases against Edgar Rose, of Pittsburgh, and Omar Patterson, of Cleveland. Both have pleaded guilty to wire fraud. Rose will be sentenced Feb. 20 and Patterson on March 19.
Details about the extent of West's cooperation were not revealed publicly, but were whispered to U.S. District Judge Joseph DiClerico at the bench. The government's motion for a reduced sentence based on that cooperation remains sealed.
West thanked DiClerico for showing leniency and expressed regret that he let "someone talk me into this criminal debauchery."
He apologized "to the court and to the victims of this senselessness," adding: "If I had the resources, I would be willing to give it all back."
Court documents do not reflect the financial loss to the hundreds of people whose identities were stolen and used both the payroll checks and fraudulent personal checks used to purchase thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise—mostly designer clothing and accessories.
When the men were apprehended Aug. 23, 2011, the car they were driving contained records listing Social Security numbers, dates of birth, mother's maiden names and other personal information of hundreds of people, Tilton Police Chief Robert Cormier said. He said the trio also kept detailed records of which stolen identities each of them used and at which stores.
"The potential for large numbers of victims was huge," said Cormier said. "They wouldn't have stopped."
Wal-Mart security officials say 270 people had their identities misused on checks the retail giant cashed, according to West's plea agreement.
Their scheme unraveled when an off-duty loss prevention investigator from Kohl's department stores—on vacation in New Hampshire and shopping with his wife—happened to be in line behind the men when a Brooks Brothers clerk challenged the identification being used. The investigator, Michael DeMeo, alerted Tilton police. Undercover officers trailed the men from store to store, checking the validity of the checks by calling the banks and people listed on the checks. The checks all proved to be fraudulent, Cormier said.
Rose's plea agreement calls for a sentence of about six to nine years. Patterson agreed to a sentence of more than three years.

The home automation industry is expanding rapidly. It's projected to be worth more than $5.5 billion in 2016, according to Companies & Markets — and it's not just the early adopters who are recognizing the appeal of the technology.
Chicago — Before the first speaker could take the podium at the Home Improvement Research Institute (HIRI) Fall Conference, a residential construction report for September stole the show with news of a 15.0% increase in total starts.
The tone was set. One presenter pointed to an average forecast of 924,000 starts in 2013, a figure drawn from 10 estimates ranging from a high of 1.1 million and a low of 800,000.
Described as a big win for advocates of a level retail playing field, Amazon.com began collecting sales tax in Texas July 1.
"A true free market is devoid of government preferences and special treatment," said Sandy Kennedy, president of the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA). "Texas has made a powerful statement that it's time to end special treatment for online retailers and close the sales tax loophole that gives companies like Amazon an artificial leg up on Main Street retailers."
Offer exclusive products, make the most of your retail brands online and accentuate the positives of your store touch points.
Gov. Chris Christie has announced an agreement with Amazon, the Internet's largest retailer, that will levy state sales tax on purchases made by New Jersey residents. Saying it took "months of hard work and good faith discussions," the governor said it will be Amazon's "obligation" to track and collect the sales tax starting in July 2013.
A similar agreement was struck with Nevada earlier this month and Texas in April.
The third annual Mobile Audit, released Thursday by e-commerce and digital marketing company Acquity Group, found that mobile adoption is on the rise. In fact, the percentage of retailers with a mobile site reached 37% in 2011, up from 12% in 2010 and only 4% in 2009 -- a 210% increase over the past year alone.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Amazon.com will continue to fight against a California law passed July 1, which requires the company to collect a 7.25% sales tax. Amazon said that the law is unconstitutional, and has now announced that it will make the case against the sales tax to voters, in hopes that they will vote to overturn it.

A survey of teachers who instruct American middle and secondary school students finds that digital technologies have become central to their teaching and professionalization. At the same time, the internet, mobile phones, and social media have brought new challenges to teachers, and they report striking differences in access to the latest digital technologies between lower and higher income students and school districts.
Asked about the impact of the internet and digital tools in their role as middle and high school educators, these teachers say the following about the overall impact on their teaching and their classroom work:
The survey finds that digital tools are widely used in classrooms and assignments, and a majority of these teachers are satisfied with the support and resources they receive from their school in this area.

Weitzman's range of shoes, from the iconic 5050 boots to a wealth of designer dress shoes and bridal shoes, all share one important characteristic: they make their wearers feel utterly glamorous at any time of day. Celebrities clearly agree; Stuart Weitzman shoes adorn the feet of a veritable who's who of Hollywood and beyond, including Kate Moss, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, the Kardashians, Katie Holmes and Kate Middleton; Weitzman is also known for providing legendary diamond-studded "million dollar shoes" to an Oscar nominee to wear to the awards ceremony each year. Weitzman's elegant shoes and handbags are made of unique materials like vinyl, Lucite, and even 24-karat gold, and his classic pumps, studded stilettos, cork wedges, casual flats, clutches, and hobos are beloved go-to pieces for everyday wear as well as evening glamor. The over-the-knee 5050 boot has long been Stuart Weitzman's most adored creation, ever since its debut over two decades ago; the combination of leather in the front and stretch fabric in the back make for a boot that is as wearable as it is flattering.

Comments On Jul 19, 2013:This is, by far, the best helmet I have ever owned. It broke in quick, is very comfortable, rides very quiet, has excellent visibility, breathes really well, and the internal sun visor (top gun visor) has saved my life more than once now. My commute may be 50 degrees in the morning and 105 on the way home, and the vent options on this helmet works really well for both. I also have a bit of a long oval head, and this helmet broke in within a few rides. It is designed for riders who are sitting up vertically so it works really well for bikes like dual sporters or cruisers, and may not be ideal for a sport bike.

Funke Famoyin
Funke grew up watching Marvel, DC, and Japanese animations. As a preteen she stumbled upon online comics and fell in love with the medium. She had always enjoyed and appreciated art but on the other hand loved reading stories.
Funke found comics/graphic novels to be the perfect union of both of her passions. She found comics to be a bit more personal. She liked how they were a still image juxtaposed with a series of words, and how each angle and picture can be chosen, it seemed like the artist had more control than they did in animation.
Funke studied at Herron School of Art and Design at IUPUI in Indianapolis. She graduated with Bachelors in Fine Arts. Her major was fine arts with a concentration in illustration and minored in art history and psychology.

Please limit this offer to one set per customer.
We get requests for free or sample holds almost every day and we are happy to oblige. You might just want some free holds; you're a gym that is checking our quality and turnaround time, a wall builder or a designer. We're sure there are many other reasons as well and we are cool with all of them.
So help us help you. We'll cover the holds, they are free. The hardware is not, nor is the shipping. If you want to save even more on the shipping, add any different item from the website to your cart and you'll see the shipping cost barely moves. There is a small material fee included to cover the shipping materials and a handling fee.
What you usually will get is...
-One small sample hold
-One medium sample hold
-One large sample hold
Our highly experienced staff will make judgment calls from your selected answers.
You'll notice we offer several options below. This will help us decide which holds to send to you. Whatever your reason is for trying this program, we want to nail getting you an awesome sample package so there's no other reason to look any farther than Atomik Climbing Holds.
Shipping: Yes we ship UPS. No we do not ship this offer via USPS. We have calculated the labor on over 2500 sample packages and the math says to use UPS considering labor. There could be up to 4 pounds of holds and they will not fit into a small flat rate box. As we state above, we are covering our packaging materials and then the labor it takes to get the free holds into a box.
This offer cannot be added to any other free offers that may be available. We are all about hooking our customers up so please show us some love and use this program for a legitimate reason.
Please do us a favor. We always need the word to get out that Atomik is a solid company. 10 years running in fact. Please RECOMMEND us below. It would mean a lot to us. Thanks.

1803 21st Ave S, Nashville, TN | Directions 3721236.136416 -86.801020
Mon. - Sun. 11am - 3am
Neighborhoods: Hillsboro West End
Sam's has the BEST spinach artichoke dip. it's fabulous!
Great Food Specials & Trivia – I love this place - just a great college bar! Love the food, inexpensive & good, I like the Wings! Trivia is a hoot! Catch the names of the Trivia Teams and you will laugh your behind off!
Sam's - Quintessential Nashville Sports Bar – It is only fitting to start my coverage of Nashville's most memorable places with the one I've spent more time in than my own home: Sam's Sports Grill in Hillsboro Village. If you're looking for a thrifty, casual happy hour or the perfect spot to watch the game, Sam's is your place.
My love affair with Sam's began when visiting my Vandy friends in college, and its solid, dependable, delicious food is what has kept me coming back. Sam's menu features exactly the kind of food you'd expect from a sports bar – wings, pizza, sandwiches and salads – but the thing that makes this place special is that it does these things extremely well. For example, when I told my friend Carson Popkin, 28, that I was writing this post she just said "Wiiiiiings…" and stared off hungrily into the distance before coming to and saying, "They're phenomenal."
But wings are not the only thing Sam's is doing right. The Cajun Pepperoni Pizza is a salty, crispy pie with just the right spicy kick, and the Campfire Chili with cheese and onions is simply one of the best bowls of chili I have ever had. And I've had some chili. When soup and chili cheese dogs make up 80% of your diet, you become an expert fast. In short, the food is straight-forward, fresh and very well-executed. Whether you need to grab a club and fries for lunch or cure your hangover with a Blue Moon and a burger, Sam's will do you right.
And that is in no small part due to the atmosphere. Sam's is a quintessential sports bar with happy hour from 3-7 every weekday except Tuesday (when it's two-for-one!) and at least 20 TVs broadcasting games at all times. (It is a smoking establishment, so take that into consideration before you pull up a stool.) On any given Saturday there are 100+ sports fans screaming their guts out for their teams, and the wait staff generally does an good job keeping pace with the thirsty legions. It's even better when the weather is nice and they roll up the garage doors on the front side. Breeze + good people watching is the ultimate relaxation-maker.
Sam's also has a lively game of trivia on Wednesdays and even livelier karaoke night on Fridays. In short, Sam's is my Cheers (and ironically, Sam was the guy who ran Cheers – coincidence? I think not). I'd suggest that you make it yours too… Except overcrowding would make my standard Saturday table even harder to come by, and we clearly can't have that. But what the hey, go visit them anyway. In no time at all, it'll be the place where everybody knows your name.
Sam's also has a second location in Hendersonville, so you suburbanites don't have to miss out on the fun.
If your looking for good service... Not here – Been in Nashville for some time... once in awhile I get dragged to this place. Service is well how should I say this... horrible. I don't know if the management beats their waitresses of what. But this is probably the worst bar I've ever been to. It took us 2+ hours to get 2 drinks and the waitresses treated us like we just killed their dog. And I'm pretty sure there was heavy drug traffic going... Just felt uncomfortable.... I will say that if you go to the bar the bartenders are great. All I'm saying is I wouldn't go there unless the Mrs. makes me... Looking for a comfortable place... not here
What a great spot in Nashville! – The quintessential sports bar of Nashville. Just voted Best Sports Bar for 9 years in a row! Hot girls serving cold drinks while your choice of every game is on at least 8 TVs is a winning combination for anybody right? They've also been voted Best Pizza, Burger, Happy Hour and whatever else, the place rocks. Oh, and you can smoke if you so choose to. Keep up the good work! 5 stars.
There's better places to go. – I used to go here every weekend to get my college football and pro football fix, but the crowds and smoke were getting too much for me. Plus, the setup of the place makes it hard to see several games at once (as I like to keep an eye on several throughout the day).
I actually found that The Closing Bell on Demonbreun St. has provided me with a much better atmosphere, better game watching and most of all - BETTER DRINKS!
Woops - Closing Bell went out of business. Guess those TV's weren't placed as well as MisterX said they were. Bummer dude.
mislead – I just spent the day at Sam's like I do most of my Saturdays. As a USC fan, we asked right away what games were going to have sound, and of course noticed all of the signage indicating that USC vc OSU was being shown on the big screen. Fast forward to 6:00p.m., when Vandy kids started coming in to watch their game (pre-loisted as being shown on the patio). All of a sudden....we have no access to the BIGGEST GAME OF THE Day so far, and the management at Sam's switched the game to Vandy on the big screen. Sam said that he was sorry and offered a round of shots.......thanks but no thanks. I recommend Corner Pub or Crow's Nest as places that will stick to their word.
Sam's is practically on the Vandy campus. Unfortunately (for this particular customer) the Vandy game ended up being the biggest game of the day and we were not able to accomodate him. Once again, our apologies to all that were upset!!
Great Bar, needs to trim some fat – I frequent this bar - I'm there with my buddies at least once or twice a week. Most of the staff is fantastic (some of the best looking girls around too), a few not so much. A few of the waitresses are always hung over and slow, most of the rest of them are always on top of things. The blonde bartender (Tish) always tries to overcharge us, putting extra drinks on our tab that we didn't order....and on busy nights she sometimes doesn't give us back our change, even though we tip really good. We call that getting "Tished." The night time manager is very unfriendly and is always hammered. One time I even walked up on her in the parking lot and saw her drinking in her car. This bar would be unmatched by any other in the Nashville area if they's just get rid of a few people.
Both employees are gone. Sam's is still the best Sports bar in town - hands down.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! – This place is so fun! But even better, they have awesome food! Their chicken is great! You can't get a better house salad anywhere! Their ribs are excellent! Drink specials can't be beat. The only down side is maybe never wanting to leave! The wait staff is really excellent too, and while it's pretty obvious that some guys only go to check out the short shorts, a lot of the staff is really informative and honest about the menu selections. Great Place - we frequent here for lunch!!!! (A couple times a week!)
Great Sports Bar! – I spent some time in Nashville recently and when I asked around for a good sports bar, everyone said the same thing. Go to Sam's in the Village. I ended up spending a lot of time there, as it turns out. The place is big, all the games were always on, and the food was really good. The attractive and friendly staff didn't hurt either! I am moving to Nashville later next month and when I do and someone asks me where a good sports bar is, I'm gonna send them to Sams! Oh, and did I mention that the wings there are the best that I've ever had?

The lady is the champ, again.
Elizabethton senior Clarissa Ceffalo captured her third straight state wrestling championship on Saturday at the Williamson County Agricultural Expo Arena. Ceffalo defeated Science Hill's Olivia Cannon on an 8-3 decision for the 185-pound girls' title in Franklin.
"I was happy that I won," Ceffalo said. "But I am very upset that this was the last match of my high school career."
She was also rewarded as the tournament's most outstanding wrestler after closing the season with a 13-0 record.
"I tried my hardest," Ceffalo said. "Those girls tried very hard. They were really gunning for me.
"I am proud. I am so happy."
Ceffalo prevailed by decision 6-2 over Clarksville Northeast's Teneia Aliki in the semifinals.

Bio: Porn Star Serena is a spicy redheaded sex star and was one of the best looking women in porn throughout her ten year stint before the carnal cameras. Serena's lusciously ripe young body and truly beautiful face made her an instant hit from the moment of her hardcore debut in 1975's 'The Journey Of O.' Serena had probably the most captivating eyes in porn, and could rasie the dead with her sultry and erotic stare.
Serena was a teenage runaway who found herself in Los Angeles by the mid 70's with no money and no job. She ended up waitressing, and it was while serving up some hot dishes that she was discovered by a make-up artist in the just burgeoning porn world. Serena soon found herself immersed in the world of erotica, becoming one of the most sought-after women in the biz.
Her unrestrained attitude and ferocious sexual zeal were evident from the get-go, and she parlayed her prodigious sensual appetites into a lengthy and well though of career. Serena sexed in over 100 features over the span of her ten year career, never shying away from anything. Wild sex was her favorite, and most of her scenes ended up with both her and her partners totally sexually spent. Her best performances can be found in 'The Ecstasy Girls' and ' Serena,' two films that show her sexual and thespian talents in full bloom. She left the business in 1984 as one of the absolute hottest sexual performers that the business had ever knwon.

Forced to quit school at age 13 to work on the family farm, Joseph entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary six years later, taking the name of a fourth-century physician and martyr. When his brother Pamphile, a priest in the same congregation, fell ill and was unable to go to the Hawaiian Islands as assigned, Damien quickly volunteered in his place. In May 1864, two months after arriving in his new mission, Damien was ordained a priest in Honolulu and assigned to the island of Hawaii.
In 1873, he went to the Hawaiian government's leper colony on the island of Molokai, set up seven years earlier. Part of a team of four chaplains taking that assignment for three months each year, Damien soon volunteered to remain permanently, caring for the people's physical, medical and spiritual needs. In time, he became their most effective advocate to obtain promised government support.
Soon the settlement had new houses and a new church, school and orphanage. Morale improved considerably. A few years later he succeeded in getting the Franciscan Sisters of Syracuse, led by Mother Marianne Cope (January 23), to help staff this colony in Kalaupapa.
Damien contracted Hansen's disease and died of its complications. As requested, he was buried in Kalaupapa, but in 1936 the Belgian government succeeded in having his body moved to Belgium. Part of Damien's body was returned to his beloved Hawaiian brothers and sisters after his beatification in 1995.
Damien was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 11, 2009.
When Hawaii became a state in 1959, it selected Damien as one of its two representatives in the Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol.

You need a new gas control valve.
A gal I've done a little work for has a 7 yr old Richmond water heater. I've replaced the thermocouple but the pilot still goes out after a few hours. Any deas would be appreciated.
not a licensed plumber
You need a new gas control valve.
There can be more than one cause of the pilot going out, and the only way to determine which is the cause would be to watch it in operation. In many cases, if you replace the control valve, you still have the problem. And, I would replace the heater before I would spend time and money on a new gas valve.
I agree with hj.
Also make sure the thermocouple is positioned in the flame properly. And that there is no draft causing the pilot flame to go out.
Have a great day.

Comments about Arc'teryx Moray Pants - Women's:
Arcteryx makes very high quality clothes. Bought these for my wife, she loves them. But, the fit was very different from the other ski pants in there line she tried. In this pant she had to go to large to fit her. Pant cut very short in waistline area. She normally wears a medium.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

#13 Patriots Hold off Lady Saints for 7-2 PBC Victory
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia women's tennis team was a few points away from shocking 13th-ranked Francis Marion University on Sunday afternoon, but the Patriots held on a pair of key matches to come away with a 7-2 victory in Peach Belt Conference action.
North Georgia drops to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Peach Belt Conference with the defeat, while the 13th-ranked Patriots remain unbeaten, improving to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in league action.
The Lady Saints struggled in doubles play as the duo of Jitka Gavdunova and Mona Blauen, ranked 5th in the country, jumped out a 6-0 lead over Stasa Vujosevic and Laura Chapman before holding on for the 8-2 victory at No. 1 doubles. The Patriots would take No. 2 and No. 3 doubles with 8-5 victories to jump out to a commanding 3-0 lead heading to singles play.
North Georgia appeared to be heading in the right direction during the opening games of singles action as Laura Chapman outdueled 35th-ranked Gavdunova 7-5 in the first set at No. 1 singles, while Stasa Vujosevic also came out on top in the opening set at No. 2 singles, holding the advantage over 31st-ranked Blauen.
Chapman and Vujosevic would both drop three-set heart breakers to give Francis Marion the first two points in singles play and the clinching 5-0 lead, but the Lady Saints continued to battle as Juliana Chang pulled out a 6-3, 6-3 win at No. 3 singles, and Jordan Poole dominated Kerry Hall 6-0, 6-2 at No. 5 singles to give North Georgia their second point of the day.
Francis Marion picked up wins in the final two matches of the day as the Patriots held on for the 7-2 Peach Belt Conference victory.
The Lady Saints will look to rebound and get back in the win column on Tuesday afternoon, welcoming Newberry College to town for a non-conference showdown with the Wolves. First serve at the Yahoola Creek Tennis Facility is set for 2:00 p.m.

In the 1980s, Neumeister extended the auction house at the rear of the existing property. Measuring 1,200 square meters, the new building includes office spaces, an underground garage and exhibition rooms. The site was formerly the location of a house owned by the famous playwright Oskar Maria Graf, and today a plaque dedicated to his memory hangs here. The administration offices are situated in the classical building on Barer StraÃe 37. The new modern building houses the management, customer reception, valuation offices, auction rooms, viewing rooms as well as a reference library and the offices of the art specialists.
All areas of art and handicraft â from medieval sculptures and classical painting to faience, furniture, carpets and contemporary design â are appraised and valued by experts in the appropriate field. At present, these are divided into 5 separate departments: 16th â 19th Century Art and Antiquities, Miscellany, Modern and Contemporary Art, Design and African and Non-European Art.
Neumeisterâs success is linked with great names and it enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide. A list of its successes includes the auctioning of the family estate of Otto Bernheimer family estate as well as the collections of Igo Levi-Luzern (faience), Heinrich Oerten (sculptures), Dr. Georg Schäfer and Rene von Schleinitz, Milwaukee Art Museum (paintings), Hugh and Molly Bareiss (faience, african art, modern and contemporary art), Paul Eipper and Dr. Christian Wolter. Special sales have included the royal dinner service of the late Bavarian King, as well as the collection of the Friends Society of the Haus der Kunst, Munich, which boasted a near 100% successful sales quota. Recently, Neumeister also successfully auctioned a collection of magnificent 14th-19th-century sculptures from a private southern German collector.
As of February 2008, Katrin Stoll has steered the fortunes of the company with the help of a staff of 35. Upon taking over all shares of the business from her two sisters, the publicly appointed and sworn art auctioneer is now the sole owner and general manager of this renowned auction house. She upholds the multi-faceted strategy of Neumeister by exploring new areas of art. Furthermore, by opening the âGalerie NEUMEISTERâ she has placed an accent on contemporary art and design. Located on the GabelsbergerstraÃe 17, the gallery is nestled in the midst of the neighbouring established galleries of the Pinakothek and offers a space to appreciate art in a relaxed atmosphere.

Police were searching for suspects in a robbery of a Check n' Go on U.S. 431 in Saks Monday afternoon after they fled the scene in a Ford Explorer before crashing into a ditch at the intersection of the highway and Beverly Road, said Anniston police Lt. Fred Forsythe. Police said they arrested a "person of interest" in connection with the robbery, but Forsythe said he could not say if the man might have been involved directly with the crime. The man was arrested for contempt of court in an unrelated matter, Forsythe said.
The vehicle possibly ended up in embankment with help from Danielle Hendershot, a shift manager at Marco's Pizza next door to the Check n' Go. Hendershot said she walked by the store while the robbery was in progress and saw two men wearing masks and carrying guns flee to a black Ford Explorer and drive away. Hendershot said after telling a co-worker to call 911, she got into her 1998 Cadillac Catera and chased after the vehicle north on U.S. 431.
"Instinct just took over," she said. "I knew I needed to help out, and I had nothing to write down their tags with, so I just followed them."
Hendershot said she was traveling more than 90 mph on the four-lane highway in pursuit of the vehicle, when the Explorer suddenly took a sharp left turn on Beverly Road, flipped three times and came to rest at the bottom of an embankment. Hendershot said two men climbed out of the Explorer and ran off down Beverly Road.
"They were big, hulking guys, and I just weigh 110 pounds," she said. "I'm sure they weren't too happy with themselves."
Forsythe said he heard a resident had possibly chased the vehicle, leading to the crash, but could not confirm the details.
"We would rather the citizens not put themselves in a position of danger," Forsythe said. "But sometimes you do not have a choice depending on the situation. I would never encourage someone to chase an armed robber."
Hendershot said police arrived at the scene around five minutes after the crash and took her name and information along with the names of residents in nearby houses who witnessed the wreck. After talking to the police she returned to work.
"My boss wasn't too happy with me, but if I didn't help out, no one else would," she said. "It was just my way of saying 'y'all aren't going to get away with this.'"
Several Anniston police cruisers, a Calhoun County Sheriff's K9 vehicle and Alabama State Troopers' vehicles swarmed the intersection in Alexandria shortly after 3 p.m. Crime lab investigators removed several bags of evidence from the Explorer before it was towed away.
A resident at the scene who asked not to be named said an officer told him the suspects fled from the car and had not been caught.
Officers at the Check n' Go and the site of the wreck declined to comment on the investigation.
The Check n' Go store in Saks had closed when a reporter went to find out more information.
Forsythe said interviews with witnesses and cooperation with residents has eased the Police Department's investigation, as they searched the area near the wreck Monday afternoon.
"I would say we appreciate help," Forsythe said. "And we got a lot of help today."

The Impact of Tone Language and Non-Native Language Listening on Measuring Speech Quality
Models that represent objective speech quality should include the influence of the cultural background of the listener as well as the particular language being spoken. Tests that evaluated American English and Igbo, an African tone language, revealed significant differences. Igbo listeners were more disturbed by additive noise and low listening levels. The low-level parts of the Igbo tone language appear to contain more critically important information than American English. Quality speech models must therefore be tuned to match the culture and language.
