Source...Q. It seems the Pacers have been playing worse since the return of (Jamaal) Tinsley and (Jermaine) O'Neal, especially when considering their recent schedule. I'm sure you'll find some reasons to dismiss this thought (game conditioning is my best guess), but I don't think they play with as much heart when Tinsley plays, and I think they play less of a team oriented game with O'Neal playing. When considering the Pacers' need for a strong push to remain in the playoff picture, wouldn't the Pacers be better off to play (Sarunas) Jasikevicius and his team-oriented style of play (despite his recent poor individual statistics) and (Anthony) Johnson at the point, and not focus the offense around O'Neal? (From Joel in Algona, Iowa)
A. Whenever one key player returns from a lengthy absence, it's normal for a team to go through some bumps during an initial adjustment period. When two key players return at roughly the same time, the adjustments become exponentially more difficult. That doesn't excuse the Pacers for their lackluster performances of late. Though Tinsley plays an entirely different style of point guard than Johnson and O'Neal's presence on the floor changes the flow of the offense, the team should've been able to re-adjust fairly quickly to their returns. If the Pacers have picked up anything from the past two years, it's the ability to deal with radical changes on the fly.
Instead, the Pacers have gone the other way. They're 5-11 since Tinsley returned and 1-4 in his starts. They're 2-5 since O'Neal returned. There hasn't been a consistent pattern to their losses. They've had good and bad days both offensively and defensively. They have, however, continued to struggle in close games because they don't appear to know yet how they're going to score in crunch-time situations.
While I believe a change at the point could be beneficial, I'm not sure putting Jasikevicius into the spotlight would be the right move under these circumstances. Though he has been a pressure player throughout his career, it would be unfair to expect a guy who's been at the end of the bench for a few weeks to step in and save the season. I do believe, however, he should play regularly because he brings fire and energy to the game, qualities the Pacers dearly need. Johnson was very good as a starter but has struggled off the bench, so if a change is to be made, he would be the prime candidate to move back into the lineup.
As for O'Neal's role within the offense, he has been making an honest effort to fit in and not dominate the ball. He's been a much more willing and productive passer (13 assists in his last three games) and has led the team in field goal attempts just once in the six games he's played since returning from the groin injury -- and that was in Milwaukee Saturday night, when you could argue he should've taken many more than 16 shots. If O'Neal continues to play as he did against the Bucks, consistently making strong moves toward the basket rather than settling for fadeaways or mid-range jumpers, he can have a profound impact on the offense. Then, it will be up to his teammates to take advantage of the opportunities he can present. There has been no shortage of quality shots for Peja Stojakovic, Stephen Jackson, and others. So far, however, the Pacers haven't figured out a way to get all of their weapons firing in synch.

Cash flow was very strong. Operating cash flow was $141 million, up 36% over last year's first quarter. Free cash flow was $132 million, or 120% of net income. Working capital management was excellent. Operating working capital was 17.2% of sales.Turning our attention to the individual operating groups. The Electronic Instruments Group had a great first quarter. Sales were up 21% to a record $468.8 million on strength in our Aerospace and Process businesses. In addition, we had strong contributions from the 4 acquisitions that we completed in the fourth quarter of 2011 and in January of 2012. Internal growth was strong at 9%, while currency reduced sales by 1%. EIG's operating income increased 23% to a record $123 million, and operating margin were a very strong at 26.2%, up 50 basis points over last year's first quarter. The Electromechanical Group also had a very good quarter. Sales were up 9% to $358.3 million on strength in our differentiated businesses and the contributions from the acquisitions of Avicenna and Coining. Internal growth was 3%. Acquisitions added 7%, and foreign currency reduced sales by 1%. EMG's operating income increased 13% to $70.9 million, a record level, and operating margins increased 70 basis points to 19.8%. Focusing now on our 4 growth strategies of Operational Excellence, global and market expansion, new product development and acquisitions. Operational Excellence is the cornerstone strategy for the company, and our focus on costs and asset management has been a key driver to both our competitive and financial success. Operational Excellence has many facets within our company, including lean manufacturing, Six Sigma in our factories and back office operations, design for Six Sigma in our new product development efforts and a movement of production to low-cost locales. We also continued to drive lower costs through our global sourcing office and strategic procurement initiatives. From these sourcing activities, we recognized approximately $10 million in savings in the first quarter and are conservatively estimating $40 million in savings for all of 2012. Our continued focus on these Operational Excellence efforts were key drivers in achieving the record operating margin of 22.1% in the first quarter.

|There was an accident here recently (early October 2002?) in which the TR anchor apparently failed. All I can assume is that as the climber approached the final 10' or so of the route, s/he moved out right and the anchor shifted accordingly and pulled. Anyone have additional info?

|This is a very fun route. A small piece of gear can be used between the last two bolts. I don't know about a recent accident but I recall the rock that you build your anchor in being pretty crufty.

Long ago, before the bolts were replaced a climber fell at the last bolt, it ripped and he died - perhaps this is why it is now referred to as Silent Scream.
On top of this route if you look there is a slot for a good thread for part of an anchor.

A varied climb with good position and moves. I remember the crux as being moving through the start of the bucketed face, a couple of holds there surprised me in their lack of positivity. Top moves are very slabby.I recall watching a group of people top-roping this route using the final bolt as an anchor. I removed 3 slings of different age and condition from this bolt, which suggests that this is not an uncommon practice. If people do TR this climb please remember to go around to the top and set up an anchor. Top-roping from single bolts is not recommended!
Clean, varied technique, slightly artificial.

|An excellent anchor can be created for this climb with a 20' cordellete and approx. 20' of webbing. There's good options up high on the wall behind the climb and off to either side for cams. This reduces the possible pendulumn on your TR. Equalize with cordellete and extend with webbing.

|this is a cool route! When I take people to it they look at what appread to be tons of "easy holds"... thinking it will go as easy as a ladder many often figure it cannot be in the 10's. Well those beautiful, somewhat sloping holds get's the lot of them... A MUST do when at Indian Cove... Safey protected on lead, tricky to TR but doable... Is TR's make sure and set it up so the climber will not pendulum...

|For me, and other shorter folk, clipping the 3rd bolt is a heady move. The good stance puts me about 6" from the bolt, and the previous bolt is well below your feet at that point. A fall from there would likely put you on the slab below the first bolt. Shorter climbers should consider packing a blue alien for the small horzontal just below the 3rd bolt to ease the mind if nothing else. The route is fantastic and otherwise very well protected.

Did the route today, Oct 29, 2006. There are now 2 drilled baby angles on the very top as an anchor. No idea how they got there, but they look pretty solid and are possibly fortified with epoxy? I backed them up anyway with some large cams over the top of the summit and a long extendo runner. YMMV.
Side note: sun and heat is not your friend on this one.... the grease factor is major and the grade can be anywhere from 5.8+ to hard 5.10 depending on the season

|Silent Scream was my first 10a lead back in fall of '86. When I went back two weeks later the top bolt was gone and the base of the route was covered in blood. At that time it was listed in Vogel's guide as "silent scream". the original bolts were 1/4 inchers with square nuts. I used the thread and a couple of pieces, which made for a bomber anchor. Interesting that the bolts were only about 4 years old when the top one ripped.

Is there a reason we don't do this currently? Interesting, I hadn't read that part. Knuth's Algorithm F covers how to do a P-way merge using 2P + 2 buffers. My ideas cover how to do a P-way merge when you don't have enough memory for that many buffers. The current sort code makes two assumptions, amongst others 1. minimizing number of runs is always worth it 2. there is a single fixed maximum size of P, depending upon memory I'm challenging both of those. Only runs that overlap need to be merged simultaneously, so if the runs aren't overlapping then its OK to allow more runs to be formed. If its OK to allow more runs, then reducing heap size to allow better CPU efficiency is possible. So Algorithm F is somewhat orthogonal to what I've proposed, though maybe still interesting. What we do now is fairly close, but you should look at the code in tuplesort.c and logtape.c to see how well it matches. That might lead to an increase in the limit of the number of concurrent runs mergeable at any one time. -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com

We experimentally demonstrated that the quantum correlations of amplitude and phase quadratures between signal and idler beams produced from a non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) can be significantly improved by using a mode cleaner in the pump field and reducing the phase fluctuations in phase locking systems. Based on the two technical improvements the quantum entanglement measured with a two-mode homodyne detector is enhanced from ~ 4 dB to ~ 6 dB below the quantum noise limit using the same NOPA and nonlinear crystal.

I was not being sarcastic, yet.
Watts have extremely little to do with how loud an amplifier will be. Just like, the rated (by manufacturer) decibles output of any amplifier or horn is there to make you think it is the loudest. The only reliable way to find out what is the loudest is to have an independent standardized study done. That can be a quick and somewhat dirty procedure of setting up the sound emitting devices in equal situations. i.e. the 2 different horns mounted in the exact same fashion using the exact same amount of input power (measured at the connection to the horns). Then measure the decibles emitted at the exact same distances and directions from the horns with the exact same equipment.
I have done this with guitar amplifiers and PA systems for numerous local bands. We have always found that Tube type amplifiers and PA systems will output more clean and clear decibles (pure tones) than digital or transistorized equivelents. A simple recent test showed that a 30 watt tube amplifier was capable of pushing clean clear tones at higher decibles than a 400 watt digital amplifier. We had to go to a 600 watt digital amp to get equivelent decible ratings.
The whole point I am trying to make is, when a manufacturer rates something at a certain point, you have to take into account the standard variables. Did manufacturer "A" measure 1 inch from the horn, while manufacturer "B" measured at a distance of 10 feet? Without that information, a true comparison is impossible. Then comparing a 4 year old horn to a brand new one, also throws another variable into the equation.
It all comes down to the old addage of comparing apples to apples, instead of apples to oranges.
You sound like a reasonable guy, I agree with most of what you say and I'd like to have a beer with you some day.
Consider the following:
All things identical except the amp, both amps have 8 ohm output impedance.
30W tube amp set to deliver 25WRMS at 1Khz into the test speaker.
120W solid state amp set to deliver 100WRMS into the same test speaker.
Are you telling me you think the tube amp scenario will make more noise?
Mike Marr
1978 Yamaha XS750 (Needs rings), 1996 BMW R1100RS, 2004 Honda CRF230F
When it comes to things like horns the sound pressure level (SPL) is not the final story. Some sounds are more obnoxious that others and, at the same SPL, will "sound louder". I saw this watching mechanical engineers measure the airflow and sound levels of two different electronic chassis systems. Everyone in the room swore that one was louder than the other by a LOT. The SPL meter told a different story, though. Both were exactly the same when measured in the same room using the same meter.
When selecting horns I think I'd want the one that gets the other persons attention best, even if it didn't necessarily have the best specs. But like I said earlier... I still have the stock horn on my bike. It isn't used often enough to warrant a replacement.
My findings in the testing was that the 30 watt tube amp created higher decibles and can be heard from a farther distance at all frequencies that humans can hear. This was tested in a large open acreage situation using both recorded music as well as spoken voice. Both amps cranked to their maxium output and set for a clean a sound as possible. Using the 30 watt tube amp, there was far less distortion (clipping) and human voice could be heard and understood clearly at a much farther distance. The digital amp dropped off in clarity when it got anywhere near it's maximum output, mainly due to clipping and distortion. The decibles were recorded using a high quality industrial decible meter. Not something you can buy at Radio Shack.
We did this testing for 2 reasons.
1. To satify our curiosity. I work part time for a local company that sets up stages for concerts and was curious about different types of amplifiers.
2. We were negotiating with our local municipality to run a series of out door night concerts to showcase our local youth rock bands. Basically trying to promote something for our youth and try to keep them off the streets causing mischief. We had to satisfy the Municipalities noise bylaws.
I agree with you 100%. The problem is, that many people buy their sterios, amplifiers for their cars, musical instruments, etc, strictly on the amount of watts it puts out, not taking into account the actual decibles it is capable of creating. Lots of people just have no idea.
OK Dave:
I can see I'm not getting anywhere. We'll have to meet in Winnipeg for a beer. I know it's a bit further for you but miles are shorter on red bikes.
Since we've already ruined this thread, what do you think of $100 line cords?
Mike Marr
1978 Yamaha XS750 (Needs rings), 1996 BMW R1100RS, 2004 Honda CRF230F
Both amps cranked to their highest measured output. We measured this at the output of the individual amps. Both did actually drop off a slight amount if you turned the knobs to their maximum. We also tested some different brands of amps, as we knew that different bands would be using their "favourite" amps to achieve their individual "sound". Some would not get anywhere near their actual "rated" wattage, while others went well beyond.
The whole point I was trying to get to is this. Just because somethnig is rated at a certain output, you have to be somewhat suspect. If all things look to be the same on the 2 brands of air horns, Wolo and Stiebel, and the only difference appears to be the packaging and the name on the unit, then in all likelyhood, they just might be the same. Just because they have different db ratings, does not mean they are not equal. You have to know how they were tested to findthose ratings. If they won't tell you, then again I would be more suspect.
A similar thing to think about. When looking at the Manufacture's gas milage rating, there is always that little caveat beneath it stating "Your individual milage may vary." Ratings posted by the manufacturer are always done to make the maker look good, never to make them look inferior.
Sorry about hijacking the thread. I just get tired of people that believe everything they read.
since mounting my new stebel i took the wolo apart, seperating the compressor from the actual horn. i am now going to try to fit some tubing in between the two pieces and if it works as planned i will then do the exact same thing to my new stebel. that way i can mount the compressor under the seat and mount the horn itself in a more protected place.
I like the idea of separating the compressor from the horn. Please keep us informed.
having a little trouble finding the parts i need but i will go back to the hardware store tomorrow and hopefully get everything i need to finish this.
here is some guidance
I've done this on the Honda Big Ruckus...the stebel is split and each half is under the tupperware in the front of the scooter. Definitely a better weatherproof installation. I've put 5K miles on this install so far and no issues.
Stupid question... do you have a separate horn button or wire it to the original horn button?
Original horn button...I cut the horn wires, put spade connectors on it and them plugged them into the stebel wiring harness.
This shows the finished product
and where i cut the wires and put the spade connectors on the original horn wires

She is known for her smash hits as an artist including 'Since U Been Gone,' 'Breakaway,' 'Never Again,' 'My Life Would Suck Without You' and 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You),' among others, but she is just as well known for her duets with superstars like Reba McEntire ('Because of You') and Jason Aldean ('Don't You Wanna Stay') by country music fans — and now she's making a name for herself with her awesome live covers.

Scandal Costume Designer Lyn Paolo Interview
Scandal's Costume Designer Talks Red Wine, White Outfits, and Prada Bags
Scandal's Costume Designer Talks Red Wine, White Outfits, and Prada Bags
Suit up, Gladiators: Scandal is returning in just a few short hours! And while we we can't wait to be entertained by the insanely juicy storyline, we'd be lying if we said we weren't counting down the minutes until we see the outfit Olivia Pope wears to take on her next client.
We can thank costume designer Lyn Paolo, the woman who's made #ScandalThursdays the most stylish night of the week. We spoke with Lyn, who revealed how exactly Olivia Pope came to be Washington DC's best-dressed fixer, who miraculously never spills a single drop of red wine on her cream sweater. Some of the details may surprise you — almost as much as the return of Mama Pope!

Brad Rock: Bearded Brian Blechen ready for 'normal' football year after 'baptism' and bee incidents
JonA Ogden, UTAug. 7, 2014 3:08 p.m.
People saying that LDS members "should have been offended" is borderline hypocritical. I'm LDS and we teach in our classes that being offended is a choice. We talk about how members no longer wishing to attend church should have chosen not to take offense. We talk about how our attitude is determined by us along and being offended is a choice. Choosing to be offended is almost never productive and almost always causes more unrest.
The athletes involved meant no harm, so why should I choose to be offended? How will that help us as a church bring others to Christ rather than push them away? Let's practice what we preach. We talk forgiveness, we talk tolerance, etc, why does that go away when it comes to the rivalry?
Mormon Ute Kaysville, UTAug. 6, 2014 4:02 p.m.
One of the biggest weaknesses on last year's defense was a lack of interceptions. One of the reasons Blechen earned Freshman All American honors was the number of interceptions he pulled down his Freshman year. Let's hope he can regain that form and maybe even improve on it this year. Nice to have him back. He was fun to watch as a Freshman so I hope he's even more fun to watch as a senior.
Old But Not Stupid Moorpark, CAAug. 6, 2014 3:31 p.m.
Both Utes and Cougars...give it a rest. None of you are going to convince your opponents of the errors of their ways.
Can't wait to see them on the field.
Go Bruins!
BlueNtheFace Rancho Cucamonga, CAAug. 6, 2014 3:12 p.m.
We can go back and forth on separate, anecdotal incidents as much as you'd like and we'd still have very similar fan bases. When a faux pas is leaked to the public, apologize, especially when you officially represent your university. This unless they meant the disrespect the way it was portrayed.
redthunder Ogden, UTAug. 6, 2014 2:09 p.m.
And I'd take what the fans did to the Hall family over the BYU fan who attacked the Utah cheerleader and the fan who hit Jamie Whittingham in the face. You're absolutely right: know when you're going too far.
VegasUte Las Vegas, NVAug. 6, 2014 12:03 p.m.
8 pieces of paper? You just lost any credibility you had.
Go Utes!!
Two For Flinching Salt Lake City, UTAug. 6, 2014 11:52 a.m.
@ BlueNtheFace
What would Utah players have to apologize for? Blechen was baptized in the cold tub during fall camp last year in the name of "Lets get it." It's somewhat of an unofficial team motto, and it was never meant to be disrespectful.
Max said that Arizona fans did the exact same thing to his family in 2008 after the Vegas Bowl. If Max's family really had beer poured on them two games in a row, by two different fan bases, maybe they deserved it? Either that or Max wasn't telling the truth. Also, Max's family only had to "endure" one game at RES.
Why would Wilson get suspended? It seems to be a consensus by both BYU and Utah fans that Wilson's MIP ticket is a minor incident.
BlueNtheFace Rancho Cucamonga, CAAug. 6, 2014 11:21 a.m.
The difference here in the players' behavior (Max vs the Baptists) is that Max apologized the next day. Have we heard an apology from the Ute players ever?
Also, the Max Hall incident brings up another issue: fan behavior. BYU fans don't have a corner on sportsmanship, but I'll take the 8 paper items thrown at the PAC-12 affiliated refs (crappy ones at that) over what Hall's family had to endure at RES for 2 years. Sheesh, know when you're going to far.
P.S. Wilson did NOT get a suspension??
Go BYU!
redthunder Ogden, UTAug. 6, 2014 9:45 a.m.
Utah Rules
Insinuating that the U doesn't care about enforcing the law and is a lawless institution reflects on the fan base. Just because Travis wasn't suspended doesn't mean corrective measures weren't taken. Let's quit acting like Wilson committed murder. Should we also report every parking citation or speeding ticket a player gets?
redthunder Ogden, UTAug. 6, 2014 9:41 a.m.
I wasn't offended at all by Max's childish rant. Quite frankly, I thought it was hilarious. Helped sweeten the pill after a heartbreaking loss. I was just surprised to hear such immature remarks from an adult.
DrUte Woods Cross, UTAug. 6, 2014 7:58 a.m.
Good On You Red Thunder.
Got a bunch of stuffy Blue folk who like to dredge up unimportant ancient history.
That's on them.
Up on The Hill we're as free as we want to be.
And thankfully, it shall ever be so!
It's sooooo great to be a Ute!!
Steven S Jarvis Orem, UTAug. 6, 2014 7:30 a.m.
This guy used to be good enough to probably play on the next level. Injuries and poor decision making have taken their toll on him.
Utah rules Salt Lake City, UTAug. 5, 2014 3:59 p.m.
Red Thunder,
Good to hear that breaking the law is not important. I've had had it wrong for years. My bad.
Like I said, my how things have changed since my days at the U.
Please clarify your comment about profiling an ENTIRE fan base. I see no mention of the entire fan base but thanks for making up stuff. It is just a few and now we know who they are.
JohnInSLC Cottonwood Heights, UTAug. 5, 2014 2:50 p.m.
"others are offended when . . . To each his own."
So you were offended a year ago when it happened, but why are you offended now when the DNews regurgitates it?
If the DNews were to run a reminder story on Max Hall's very public and scurrilous rant (which I'm not ruling out if BYU ever beats Utah again), it wouldn't be Max that offends me anew. It would be the blatant panderers with "editor" desk plates and blue pom-pons.
65TossPowerTrap Salmon, IDAug. 5, 2014 2:29 p.m.
What can I say - some people are offended by what is said by rival players (Austin Collie, Max Hall, et al) and others are offended when their religious rites are mocked. To each his own.
JohnInSLC Cottonwood Heights, UTAug. 5, 2014 1:18 p.m.
Glad we have the DNews (with help from 65toss and UtahRules) to again confess Blechen's year-old sins, such as they are.
How about providing some in-depth reporting on the investigation into NCAA violations at BYU? That topic seems to be radioactive for DNews sports reporters.
Two For Flinching Salt Lake City, UTAug. 5, 2014 1:12 p.m.
@ WhyAmIhere?
...I know. It was a joke.
redthunder Ogden, UTAug. 5, 2014 12:37 p.m.
Utah Rules
They're non issues because they are unimportant. I'm more than pleased that the worst news coming from the Hill is an underrage drinking and a mock baptism. DNews has successfully made both bigger deals than they need to be. Yes, both actions weren't very well thought out but on both occasions Coach Whittingham took the actions he deemed necessary. The mock baptism was performed by athletes who are baptized members of the LDS church. They knew what they were doing and the sacred nature. That's on them. They're kids, they don't need to be publicly criticized for every mistake they make.
As far as both comments you and PowerTrap made; how brazen of you to profile an entire fan base. Very Max Hall-ish of both of you.
chicagoborn Salt Lake City, UTAug. 5, 2014 12:30 p.m.
I bet that you think that political correctness is also a big problem in this country right? Unless we're talking about things that matter to you of course.
But seriously folks! Salt Lake City, UTAug. 5, 2014 12:20 p.m.
Some kids just like the attention and can't exist without it. The same is also true of a few ute fans who post post outlandish comments on these articles. You know who you are. The best way ot get attention is to perform onthe field and not the newspapers.
Down under Salt Lake City, UTAug. 5, 2014 12:16 p.m.
Vegas ute,
Not so. It would be offensive to faithful LDS throughout the world, and should have been offensive to LDS Ute fans as well, unless of course winning football games is more important.
Utah rules Salt Lake City, UTAug. 5, 2014 11:54 a.m.
Sure seem to be a lot of "NON ISSUES" on the hill. I guess poking fun at a sacred ordinance and underage drinking are not longer considered in appropriate on the hill. My how things have changed since my years at the U.
65TossPowerTrap Salmon, IDAug. 5, 2014 11:51 a.m.
Utah fans - the mock baptism was just that - mockery. Maybe baptism isn't a big deal to you, but it is a sacred ordinance to others.
VegasUte Las Vegas, NVAug. 5, 2014 11:37 a.m.
It is ridiculous how much time and effort has been wasted on the baptism thing, which was TOTALLY "innocuous" to everyone except for Utah County and the DN. I can't believe it was even brought up again by Bradley. On second thought, seeing that it was Bradley that brought it up, yes I can believe it!
Let's go Blechen! Ditch the beard though, unless your aim is to make it Weddle status!
Go Utes!!
Uteology East Salt Lake City, UtahAug. 5, 2014 11:24 a.m.
The [mock baptism] timing coincided perfectly with the annual rivalry game. Coach Kyle Whittingham, himself an active LDS member, claimed there was no malice, as did LDS player Jake Murphy. Still, it put off some LDS members, particularly those of BYU persuasion.
I was more put off by some LDS members, particularly those of BYU persuasion when they were shown pelting PAC-12 officials with garbage after yet another loss to Utah at LES.
The mock baptism? Again, a non-issue.
chicagoborn Salt Lake City, UTAug. 5, 2014 10:10 a.m.
That "baptism incident" was such a joke. It's hilarious how people actually got so worked up about it.
redthunder Ogden, UTAug. 5, 2014 9:51 a.m.
I love that Brad Rock omits the fact that the mock baptism was performed well before the Holy War. The team hadn't even kicked off the season when that incident occured. The last thing the Utes were thinking about was the Cougars, the team needed to first avenge it's loss to the Aggies and commence conference play.
The baptism topic was again brought up during rivalry week to stoke the fires of hate among the fans even though the players involved said it was not meant as a jab at BYU.
65TossPowerTrap Salmon, IDAug. 5, 2014 8:39 a.m.
I hope he doesn't get distracted in Boulder. That is an important game.
WhyAmIhere? Cottonwood Heights, UTAug. 5, 2014 7:40 a.m.
@Two For Flinching
Neither Kyle Whittingham or any of the other Ute Coaching Staff wastes their time reading, let alone posting to these comment boards.
BlameItOnTheOfficials Cottonwood Heights, UTAug. 5, 2014 7:38 a.m.
The kids always had talent. He biggest problem is knowing how to focus that talent to showcase it at the right moments and in the right ways.
Good luck Blechen!
gdog3finally West Jordan, UtahAug. 4, 2014 7:37 p.m.
A couple of years ago I would have said that playing in the NFL was a realistic consideration for Blechen. Now as a Ute fan, I just hope he can stay healthy and keep his head on straight. With a remarkable turn around, the guy still might have enough left in the tank to be an impact player for the Utes defense this year. The talent has been there from day one. Blechen's freshman year was stellar.
Two For Flinching Salt Lake City, UTAug. 4, 2014 6:38 p.m.
@ Bluto
You don't know that. He could be Kyle Whittingham or Travis Wilson, and we would never know.
Chris B Salt Lake City, UTAug. 4, 2014 5:49 p.m.
Let go Blechen!
7 wins - we're going to do it.

Okay, I confess. I probably write about this product a few times a year, but I think it is one of the most important yet overlooked method of baby proofing.

As part of our ongoing countdown to Earth Day, let's talk toys. Earth friendly doesn't always have to mean organic fruits and cloth diapers. Even the toys your baby plays with can be eco friendly and developmentally appropriate. This wooden puzzle stacker is an alternative to the traditional colorful stacker you might be familiar with. The eco friendly wood is painted so you can still teach your child color recognition and the circles have interlocking puzzle shapes that help develop motor skills and critical thinking. Try doing that with a simple circle and plastic post.

Eat more fruits and veggies. You hear it everywhere. It's a lot easier to adhere to that advice if you start young. It's also easier to eat healthy if the food is yummy. No problem!!

You will become empowered to eat food that's good for your baby and yourself. That's perfect meal planning from beginning to end.

As we approach Earth Day, it is a good time to look around and find little ways we can be a little "greener." You can start by looking at what you are using to bathe your little one. You would be surprised to see what ingredients we rub into our baby's skin and then wash down the drain. Products like Earth Friendly Baby Organic Shampoo/Bodywash are a perfect way to introduce small changes to your routine. It is not tested on animals and has no petroluem based ingredients.
After the bath, you can cuddle up and share the story of Earth Day with your baby. You probably have a Little Critter story already on your bookshelf. Now you can add, It's Earth Day! to your collection. It's never to early to start reading to your baby. You can bond over reading and saving the planet. Now that is a full day!
As parents, we spend a lot of time finding ways to keep our little ones busy indoors. We fill our homes with plenty of toys and colorful distractions. There's nothing wrong with that. One day you might find yourself looking for something a little bit different though. Then you can bring the outdoors in with this simple window mounted bird feeder. This one is shatter proof and ideal for all climates. Infants as young as few months old will be fascinated with the fluttering images and sounds the birds make. As your child grows, you can use the feeder as a tool to teach your child about the importance of caring for smaller creatures and other more scientific lessons. It is important to be creative in your approach to parenting, but that doesn't always have to mean crayons, paints, and craft sticks.

If you think the national debt is getting out of control, then you really don't want to see college tuition projections. There is no reason to panic. There are plenty of resources and books to help you get started saving for the future. The Best Way to Save for College - A Complete Guide to 529 Plans, 2009 provides an overview of the 529 options available to you. It also discusses other savings vehicles available and how they stack up against the 529 option. There's even a reference section that consists of a state by state comparison of each plan so you can decide which one works best for you. It's never too late to get started. You and your baby will be glad you did.

Now that the weather is warming up in most of the country, families will be spending more time outside. Yard work, games, and picnics all mean fun in the sun. Don't let the fun be ruined by a nasty sunburn. This sunscreen pack includes towelettes, basic lotions and sticks, all with an SPF of 40. It is non greasy and hypoallergenic. It is even the right size for airline travel. So you can use it in your backyard or an exotic location. Of course, the exotic location might be more fun.

It's the time of year when we start taking inventory of our outdoor toys. What survived the winter? What did the kids outgrow? What does the baby need now? What will keep the kids occupied so they don't fight non stop? If you are looking to keep the kids happy this Spring, a water and sand table is virtually a necessity. This one is safe for toddlers as young as 18 months and comes with eight toys. Don't worry about rain and critters getting in your sand. This table comes with a lid that doubles as a roadway when it is on the table. You will love the table too as you sit and enjoy watching your children play peacefully outside.

If you are packing snacks for day care or lunches for your elementary age child, you want to be sure that the lunch bag is as safe as the items you are putting in it. The sad truth is that many children's items contain lead, even lunch boxes. Fortunately, lead free items are becoming more readily available. Check out this lead free lunch box. It is fully insulated and has space for your napkins and utensils. The strap is adjustable so it can fit on your shoulder or wrist. If you want, you can just carry it in a diaper bag or backpack. Now you can be sure that when you are packing healthy snacks, you are carrying them in a healthy way too.

Who says all onesies have to look like little tee shirts? This kimono onesie is stylish and functional. It has a tie one to secure the side and has three snaps along the bottom for easy diaper access. It's perfect for up to three months old.

What's this baby doing in a sack? Staying warm of course! This ingenious blue sleep sack is actually a low cost incubator that will help save lives in developing countries. According to the medical journal the Lancet, up to 4 million premature babies die each year due to hypothermia related to low birth weight. The problem is that most developing countries do not have the money or energy needed to purchase the incubators to keep these babies warm. The pouch contains a wax like material that can be heated using a supplied electric or non-electric hot water heating unit. Within 20 minutes the wax will reach its melting point, after which it will maintain a temperature of approximately 37C (98.6F) for four hours without electricity. The material can even sense the baby's temperature and will release or absorb heat as needed. There is an indicator that will let you know if the wax is getting too cool to operate the sack.
This sack is a perfect solution to a serious problem. As a mother, I can appreciate this need for a sack like this. I always say I have many children, but none to spare. I'm sure mothers all over the world feel the same way.
Want to help get Embrace to the children who need it? It's easy. You can donate directly to the charitable arm of the Embrace organization. You can also visit the sites of their retail partners. A portion of the proceeds go toward launching Embrace. Next time you need a gift for someone special, you can help someone special too.

Earth is coming up on April 22. You can celebrate in so many ways, but I like to celebrate by reading this book to my kids. Diary of a Worm is a great way to introduce your child to the critters who also live on this Earth. It's never too soon to start reading to your little one and building up their little library.

Sunscreen starts reappearing on store shelves around this time of year. There are so many options, but most parents lean toward waterproof and high SPF as the main criteria. Those are important, but with California Baby sunscreen lotion lotion you also have the peace of mind that you are protecting your baby with a lotion that is PABA free and contains organic and sustainably grown ingredients. Bring on the sunshine!

You have many choices when feeding your baby. It's easy to get overwhelmed. The decision to go organic doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. These Earth's Best Organic Fruit & Whole Grain Combos will give your baby the nutrients she needs without the pesticides often found in traditional baby foods. Generally, organic baby food is only about ten cents more than non organic baby food. That's a small price to pay when you think about the negative impact chemicals such as pesticides can have on a developing brain. Plus, it's tasty since the chemicals haven't killed the flavor along with any little critters. Your baby will love the taste and you will love the safety.

Do you know what today is? If you said April Fools Day, you're only half right. It is also the first day of Autism Awareness Month. Autism currently affects 1 in 110 children, 1 in 80 boys. Many experts think the numbers are actually higher. If you have a loved one impacted by autism, you know how challenging this disorder can be. If you think you need more information on autism there are so many resources to choose from. Organizations like the Autism Society and Autism Speaks provide information and support.
If you prefer to study on your own, there are countless books to choose from. Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Complete Guide to Understanding Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and Other ASDs will give you great insight into this disorder. As a mother of a child on the autism spectrum, I love books actually written by someone with the disorder. Of course, Temple Grandin is a favorite. Her book, Thinking In Pictures: and Other Reports from My Life with Autism gives a first hand account of what it is like to actually live with autism AND how it can have a POSITIVE impact on your life if you just find the right path. The memoir Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant is an inspirational story of a young man's exciting journey that he never would have had if he did not have autism. Don't wait until autism touches your life to learn about. These truly are fascinating stories.

A man prosecutors say was caught with more than a million dollars in phony U.S. Postal Service money orders in his Simi Valley motorhome entered a guilty plea to 14 felony counts, from identity theft to possession of child pornography.
The Ventura County District Attorney's office says Grant Lind was arrested for passing a forged check, but that when Simi Valley police searched the RV where the 49 year old man was living, found more than a thousand counterfeit money orders.
They say they also seized counterfeit driver's licenses, checks, and computers with child pornography on them. Lind could face four year in state prison when he's sentenced in August.
He's also facing identity theft, and fraud charges in Los Angeles County.

Kyocera Supplies Solar Powered Generators to Medical Facility in Tajikistan
October 11th, 2012 by Nicholas Brown
Kyocera Corporation, as well as Marubeni Corporation and Marubeni Protechs Corportation, yesterday announced that they provided solar-powered generators to the Diakov and Research Institution of Obstetrics Gynecology (OB/GYN) and Perinatology in Dushanbi, which is the capital of the Republic of Tajikistan.
This is the very first solar power system that Kyocera has installed in Tajikistan, and it has the capacity to generate 160 kW (160,000 watts) of electricity. The Diakov Hospital's system is 120 kW, and the OBG/GYN institution's is 40 kW.
The systems are expected to generate approximately 196 MWh of electricity annually, which would offset the production of 62 tonnes of CO2 each year.
The project is being funded by the Japanese government's ODA (Official Development Assistance) program to help augment Tajikistan's power production and diversify its energy sources.
Another example of a Kyocera ODA is one in 1984 to provide Pakistan with a solar power plant. Since 1984, Kyocera has been involved in more than 40 ODA projects in Asia and Africa, which total 3 MW (3,000 kW) of power capacity.

Wal-Mart shakes up e-commerce operations then blames economy for poor US sales
Wal-Mart Stores reported $108.6 billion in net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, an increase of 5.5% compared with fiscal 2011. Operating expenses also increased 5.5% to $21.2 billion during Q2. Income from operations in the quarter was $3.8 billion, an increase of 5.7% compared with the same quarter of last year.
The retailer doesn't reveal e-commerce sales figures, which is probably not a coincidence given last week's e-commerce operations shake-up. (To be fair, the company has never revealed e-commerce figures. But it's also possible those figures have never been any good.) In short, the company's US e-commerce chief and EVP of global e-commerce for developed markets both resigned. Wal-Mart also said it will require e-commerce teams in US, Canada, the UK and Japan to report directly to their respective store organizations, instead of the global e-commerce management, while teams in China, India and Latin America will report to the global e-commerce division.
The retailer's earnings beat Wall Street estimates, despite US same-store sales decreasing 0.9%, the company's ninth straight quarterly decline in this category. CNN argues that Wal-Mart — and its 140 million weekly shoppers in the US — is a barometer of the health of the consumer and the economy.
"Many consumers are still struggling; they're trading down to match their budget," said Mike Duke, Wal-Mart Stores president and CEO, during an investors call. "That's why we're laser-focused in investing in price to help our customers. We're committed to widening the gap on price."
There's no arguing that our economy is struggling and that consumers are looking for deals wherever they can get them. But the US Census Bureau recently reported that sales in the retail and food services sector increased 7.9% to $2.7 trillion in the first seven months of 2011, compared with the same period of last year.
"We are seeing a resilient consumer," said Kathy Grannis, director of media relations at the National Retail Federation, in response to the estimate. "This is certainly good news."
So perhaps Wal-Mart isn't a barometer of consumer health at all but rather a barometer of consumer preference. Maybe, just maybe, Wal-Mart's recent e-commerce struggles have more to do with the company's mediocrity than the economy does.
If you don't believe me, go ask Amazon.com. The company reported a net sales increase of 51% in the second quarter to $9.9 billion, compared with the second quarter of 2010.

Once in a while you see cars that leave you wondering what exactly the owner was trying to accomplish. Then there are those cars that literally make you question what planet you are on, and how in the heck you arrived there. Today we have one of the latter.
Recently this "submersible-car-ship?" was spotted at a Wendy's Restaurant in Ohio and posted up by "B3passatBMX" from VWVortex.com. He was wondering what the heck he had just witnessed, because we all know that "what has been seen, cannot be unseen". Luckily for us, he grabbed photographic evidence of the "jet-vehicle-hover-plane?" because there is absolutely zero chance of the world believing this story otherwise. Now…. what he found sitting in this parking lot was truly amazing, almost beyond words. It was something so futuristic, yet retro, yet gangsta, that you aren't sure what planet it was from or where it may have landed. Is it from the future? Could it be from the distant past? Nobody actually knows. All we know is that its home base in Ohio, and it appears to have once sported wings. Yes, I said wings. Also, notice the crazy blower-style drive belt inside, and fully custom hubcaps. The word on the streets is that it had a VW engine tucked underneath it, but who really knows. It may be a decoy so that you don't notice the turbo rocket booster packs.
That being said, please enjoy the beauty that is this wonderous space-time-traveling-plane-car-ship, because it may be the only photographic evidence that it really exists. If you have any further information on this …… "car", please enlighten us. Clearly somebody put a LOT of time and effort into this for a reason, and I personally would LOVE to see and learn more about it and it's builder.

Agency Cemetery
A cousin visited this cemetery a few years ago and could not find a grave for Greenbury Noland and his wife, Mary Ann. These two are our ancestors. I tried to write the cemetery to see if they are buried without a stone, but did not receive a reply. Have you seen an actual stone.

RE: Elihu and Rachel
My cousin believes that he is buried in Ohio, perhaps in the Tiffin area where much of the Brown family ended up. I will see if I can find more info about it. I'll send an email and attach the pics that I have. Be patient, I am not terrible adept with the pictures. I am hoping to write a posting with the pictures embedded. I'll send that along too.

RE: Elihu and Rachel Tyree
Thanks. I have pictures of headstones for everyone starting with Stephen Caudill (Rev. soldier) his wife Sarah, their daughter Elizabeth who married John Q. Brown, John Q. Brown, Benjamin Brown, David Tyree and Rachel Tyree, Amos Brown. I have no accompanying records. I also have stone for Rachel, but not Elihu. I have the same pic you posted, but I believe Elihu is buried elsewhere. I can try to figure out how to upload them. I took them all last week while I was in Whitesburg and in Kings Mountain.
Richard Brown was also stumped by the fact that Valentine seems to stop and there is little about him. I did find his wife and her parents though. I am so new at this (10 days of hunting) but it is fun. Thanks again for helping me along a bit.

RE: Elihu and Rachel Tyree
I have the information back through Valentine as well. I recently went to Whitesburg and we made contact with Richard Brown who also is from Benjamin's line, but a different son. There is a Brown DNA project. I remember my dad talking about Cleveland. I am wanting to get birth records for Amos so that we can extend the DAR in D.C. Through Stephen Caudill to Elizabeth who married John Q. Brown. Richard reported that there doesn't seem to be any link to Brown's in Ireland, but we match to Cain's and McCains. I am also beginning to do more research back through the Tyree side. The Trail of Tears brought the Thomas's to Whitesburg. This link: http://www.knottkentuckykinfolk.com/family_trees/thomas_family_history.htm has a great chronology of the entrance of the Cherokee into the family. We also talked to Violet Bell in Kings Mt. who remembered the Brown boys (because of their browner skin) from when she first started teaching. She is in her mid-late 90's now. Why Elihu went to Kings Mt. is unknown to our family. We suspect that Elihu may have had some Brown relative there. I am assuming you know the story of Benjamin's death as it is well chronicled in the Letcher county oral history. I'd love any information that you can add about the family. My grandfather died in 1944, so I never knew him. My dad, Frank (known as Ted) was born in Bluefield W. Va during the depression. The family ended up in Kalamazoo in the early 1940's. The story goes that Amos had to go back to W. Va to serve prison time for making "medicine." My dad was one of the youngest of Amos and Dora's children.

Elihu and Rachel Tyree
Elihu and Rachel Tyree were my great-grandparents. My grandfather was Amos married to Dora Floyd and my dad was Frank (known as Ted) married to Frances. I am looking for any information that you may have on this part of the family tree. I'm in the process of compiling documentation for DAR. Elihu is listed in the DAR records but the trail ends there. Thanks for posting the picture.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Review by Gus2k2
"Trust in your God but carry a loaded gun"
When I got Hitman 2, I had no idea about the game, because I hadn't played the series before. After some weeks, it became one of my favorite games.
Gameplay: 10/10
Hitman 2 is mostly played from 3rd-person view, and it is good for the game. Luckily, when you need that accurate headshot, and 47's bald head get's in the way of the camera, you can switch to 1st person. The controls are good, and the maps are developed well. The game gives you the right feel of being a true hitman, sneaking around the corners and strangling people with our surprisingly durable Fiber Wire...
Story: 8/10
As first-person shooters go, Hitman 2 offers a relatively good and interesting storyline. The beginning of the game had quite a strong religious influence, which I didn't mind at all. It is nice that the game locations are based on real world, such as St. Petersburg and Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Still, the game isn't played for the story, but instead the gameplay itself.
Sounds: 8/10
The sounds are great, and the game features fine music performed by the Budapest symphony orchestra, so it has good quality. All guns sound realistic, and Japanese people speak Japanese, too. No German-accented English this time, luckily. However, most older computers might have problems with the sound, and on my machine I'll have to disable the sound effects to get good gameplay. The speech of the cutscenes is well performed, and the voice actors are talented.
Graphics: 10/10
The graphics in this game are almost perfect. Most textures look great even if full-zoomed with the binoculars, and character models are one of the best I have seen. If it's a dark rainy day in the game you get a feel it really is.
Replayability: 9/10
I find it nice to have such good options to go back to previous missions. You can try to do them for different rankings, either the 'Silent Assassin', or just blast everyone away with your M60.
The game supports a thing called P5 Glove, which is some sort of a 'control pad' you wear in your hand. I hadn't heard of this before, and I doubt it is that good a control system...
Should I buy this game?
If you like the slower-paces first-person shooters, such as Thief series, Hitman 2 is worth investing quite a few bucks. It is a good buy, and most likely you won't be disappointed.
Buy the game, install it, and jump to the shoes of Mr. 47. Happy hunting!
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

I haven't had much time in past to surf blogs, but I've been checking this one out and like it: http://www.eatingintranslation.com
What I especially like is that the writer isn't trying to position himself as an "expert" (there are no food experts; the topic's way too broad for anyone to know everything). Rather, just an enthusiastic and wide-ranging eater. Good photos, nice terse descriptions....nice. Of course, I'd prefer if this sort of thing were done here on Chowhound, where lots more people could benefit and chime in...but the same could be said, I suppose, of my chow tour :)

Austin Mahone vs. Jonas Brothers – Pop Clash
Carly Rae Jepsen and her club banger remix 'Tonight I'm Getting Over You' may have previously beat out Ariana Grande and her Mac Miller-assisted single 'The Way,' but this past week she couldn't get ahead of Austin Mahone and his Mahomies.
The 'Say You're Just a Friend' crooner took home 52% percent of the Pop Clash votes with help from Flo Rida.
So now we've got Austin up against the the good-looking Jonas Brothers and their newest single 'Pom Poms.' Can Flo's rap rhymes carry the weight when Austin is matched up with three good-looking dudes who are practically verterans in the pop world? Let's discuss.
On 'Say You're Just a Friend,' Austin samples Biz Markie's classic single when trying to tell a girl (friend) that he's had some feelings for her for some time. It's adorbs and cute, just like his looks. "I wanna be your everything, want to be the one you need / So tell me where ya been all my life / Gonna make you mine tonight" he sweetly pleads to the lucky lady.
Then there's the Jonas Brother's diddy, which is a more grown-up pop-rock sound but with an incredibly catchy hook: "More to love when your hands are free / Baby put your pom poms down for me / Come on shake it up 123." The 'Pom Poms' single praises a girl who can move and shake her booty, but who also has undeniable assets. Yes, the pom poms mean what you think they do — the Jo Bros even had Sofia Vergara in mind when they wrote it!
So which song are you loving more this week? Vote Austin Mahone or the Jonas Brothers below. This round of Pop Clash will close on May 27 at 3PM ET, and you can vote once an hour until we announce the winner!
