| Jennifer ForniSopranoFormer Portland Opera Resident Artist |
Jennifer ForniSopranoFormer Portland Opera Resident Artists Praised for her "warm, gleaming lyric soprano" voice (Washington Post), American soprano Jennifer Forni is quickly establishing herself as a singer to look out for. Always "attentive to the subtler points of interpretive expression" (The Baltimore Sun), Ms. Forni, while possessing a "fuller lyric sound" (Opera News) has maintained the ability to float stunningly-spun pianissimos above the staff. Ms. Forni was granted the Evelyn Puddy Oliver Scholarship to attend the Oberlin Conservatory of Music where she received a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. She continued her studies at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she received a Master of Opera. During this time, she was personally selected by Marilyn Horne to represent the university in The Song Continues masterclass series at Carnegie Hall. In 2008, while Ms. Forni was a member of the prestigious Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Program, she was asked to take over the role of Nannetta in Verdi's Falstaff. Remarkable for the short-lead time involved, the performance was widely viewed as a triumph. When interviewed about Ms. Forni's performance by Classical Singer Magazine, Glen Lewis (Head of Music, Pittsburgh Opera) said, "When we finally heard her on stage, [her voice] felt almost luxurious for a Nannetta. We think it won't be long until she moves into a more substantial repertoire." Subsequently, Ms. Forni has moved on to ampler roles such as Tatyana from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, Fiordiligi from Mozart's Così Fan Tutte, and Michaela from Bizet's Carmen. Ms. Forni is a former member of the Portland Opera Studio, where she appeared in Berstein's Trouble in Tahiti, Monteverdi's Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda, Il Ballo delle Ingrate, and Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel. Ms. Forni is equally at home on the concert stage, performing such works as Knoxville: Summer of 1915 with the Oregon Mozart Players, Mahler Symphony No. 2 with the Greeley Philharmonic, and Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony with the Oberlin Musical Union. During her Portland Opera debut recital she was hailed for her performance of Strauss's legendary work the Vier Letzte Lieder. "She shone spectacularly in Strauss's Four Last Songs. Brava Ms. Forni." (Stephen Llewellyn, Portland Opera official blog). In March of 2011, Ms. Forni joined New York City Opera to understudy the role of Rita Clayton in Stephen Schwartz's World Premiere Opera Seance on a Wet Afternoon. She looks forward to returning to New York City Opera to understudy the role of Violetta in Verdi's La Traviata this February. The following month marks her role debut as Michaela in Bizet's Carmen. |

John Nicoletta insulted by Op-Ed Writer
"Russian roulette has odds of 5 in 6. To make this more easily comparable for those of you weak in math, that translates to odds of 10 in 12.
Nine in 10 for hucking yourself off a cliff on skis.
Ten in 12 for spinning the cylinder on a handgun and dropping the hammer on the chamber.
Do those really sound like good odds to you?
Only if you have a death wish. "
I think it's pretty widely accepted that Craig is an ass.
Edit: however, his point is still somewhat valid. I guess it all boils down to whatever your own personal level of risk/reward acceptance is.Putting the "core" in corporate, one turn at a time.

Well, I like his tenuous grasp on statistics the best.
the guy shows his ignorance pretty good in this part:
And yet, there appear to be people who think these are acceptable odds for what have come to be called ''extreme sports.''
These are not sports like auto racing or mountaineering or downhill skiing, where participants or organizers go to considerable lengths to try to ensure safety. Still, they remain inherently dangerous.
But there is a huge difference between mountaineering (they rope up, don't they?) and auto racing on the one hand and X-treme skiing or snowmobiling on the other.
Amazing rebuttal nice work dude.
Points on their own sitting way up high
9 in 10 odds for pushing the envelope of an inherently dangerous sport? I'd say those are perfectly acceptable.........
9 times out of 10 was just a metaphor and the author took it too far. However, the author is right. What other sport has the lack of safety standards in competition?
Goals for the season: -Try and pick up a sponsor.--Phill
But whatever scares you most... --Rip'nStick
Come on. Comparing hucking to Russian roulette? Get real. You can't train and practice for years to get any better at Russian roulette. Its purely statistical and has nothing to do with skill and preparation.
Stupid analogy.
Odds like this don't work for people who take calculated risks.
In fact, I would presume freeskiing and other similarly adventurous sporting activities lead to much lesser chance for incidents because those involved do take a more cautious approach.

Medred is a tool. He regularly creates incendiary articles that divide rather than unite. He has especially taken to bashing the "extreme ski industry' lately.
this is a link to his most recent articles which created an uproar with Ak readers as well. He was trashed very hard, but nary a response from him or the editor (which i often wonder if they even have??)
here's his pinnacle of douchenozzlery:
Published: April 9th, 2008 11:14 PM

Someone please explain the disconnect here:
On the one hand, the ski industry is now encouraging all skiers to wear helmets just in case, for safety, because you never know what could happen on the slopes, yadda, yadda, yadda.
On the other hand, the same slopes -- including Alyeska Resort in Girdwood -- are enticing skiers to huck themselves off cliffs with promises of fame and fortune, if they survive.
Ben Johnson almost didn't.
The 34-year-old from Carlo Creek up near Denali Park "went big'' on Saturday. He didn't make the landing.
He almost didn't make it. Period.
He ended up in Providence Hospital with an oxygen tube in his throat. He's still there. He's had four surgeries so far. Doctors have fused shattered vertebrae and tried to rebuild his smashed ankle. His friends are hopeful he might someday be able to ski again.
Maybe. Hopefully.
Alyeska, which put considerable promotional effort into the First World Telemark Freeskiing Competitions, strangely never said a word about what happened to Johnson on Saturday. They didn't say anything on Sunday, either, or Monday.
By then the news that someone had almost died in the resort-hosted event was starting to trickle out.
Johnson's friends seem to think it's cool he cheated death and only ended up in the hospital facing months of rehabilitation.
"Me and my buddies talk, and sometimes we don't know why we do this stuff," Johnson friend Dave Magoffin from Fairbanks told the Daily News. "But we know we have to. When we do this stuff, we feel alive. For us, it's a way to live. And it's gambling, but we have to do it."
I can understand those comments. Lord knows I've done my share of crazy stuff in the Alaska outdoors.
But let's face the facts. Johnson didn't do this simply to feel more alive, which is what we all do out there by ourselves or with our friends.
Johnson, however, wasn't lured into reckless risk by friends. He was lured into reckless risk by corporate America.
He wanted to win the Alyeska-hosted competition, which was promoted in this way:
"And the booty bounty is high for Championship title winners, scoring multiple day heli adventures from Valdez Heli Camps. Additionally, over $30,000 of prizes from G3, Black Diamond, K2 Telemark, Atomic, Rossignol and others will be won in the raffle to benefit The Friends of the Chugach NF Avalanche Center. The Grand Prize is a one-week trip for 12 at Valkyr Adventures Lodge."
Skeptical, nonskiing friends of mine seeking to defend corporate America's role in Johnson's accident have questioned whether anyone would really take life-threatening risks to win what is seemingly so little.
To them, all I can say is this:
There are former state legislators now serving time in federal prisons (or about to serve time) for having sold their souls for very little, though the monetary prizes really weren't the draw for Johnson and the others at Alyeska.
They all wanted the title. They wanted to be seen as the baddest, raddest extreme telemark skier out there.
It's the same sort of thinking that led Reid Sander to his death on Mount Saint Elias in April 2002. The owner of Hellroaring Ski Adventures in West Yellowstone, Mont., wanted to be known for making the longest ski descent in history. It cost him his life.
He was not the first to die trying to "go big'' in the mountains, and he won't be the last. "Going big'' has become an in thing.
Which brings me back to where this all started.
Where is the disconnect between ski resorts that encourage people to be safe while staging competitions in what is politely described as "no fall zones.'' Said terrain being known simply to all skiers as "you fall; you die.''
As Johnson almost did.
Aren't there enough skiers drawn to this kind of behavior without ski resorts encouraging it?
And what example does this set for impressionable young skiers?
So skiers like me are supposed to wear a helmet to set a good example?
Do they real think testosterone-laced, 16-year-olds care about the example set by some old fuddy-duddy?
Those boys and girls (yeah, a lot of girls seem to suffer from testosterone poisoning these days) are a lot more interested in the example set by the people "going big'' and getting attention for it.
So what I would suggest is that Providence Hospital simply sponsor the next "Big Air competition.'' It can do it right off the hospital roof on to a pile of trucked-in snow, and those who don't make the landing can go straight to the ER.
Where they can laugh about how they survived.
Sorry, guys. I've been in the hospital after a few accidents. It ain't all that funny.
Worse, though, you don't make any money off it -- win or lose.
"The man" makes the money. So if the possibility of ending up in the hospital isn't enough to make you think twice, how about the thought of just being a tool for the man.

COMPASS: Other points of view
By ALLAN WARREN

On March 29, while skiing at the Telepalooza extreme skiing competition at Alyeska, Ben Johnson, 34, of Carlo Creek got himself in a tight spot. What he thought was a good line to ski turned out to be full of ice and rocks, and he was left with a difficult decision: ski the rocky line and risk life and limb, or jump off a cliff and hope the landing would be soft.

He chose the latter, mistaking how high the cliff really was in poor light conditions. He fell for about 80 feet, landed, and then cartwheeled down the mountain another 200 yards, breaking his neck in three places as well as his ankle. Johnson was lucky to survive.
The irony is that Johnson was skiing to raise money to purchase sports equipment for the disabled a charity program I set up called Athletes with a Cause. Despite his good intentions, some people look at what Johnson did as a "stupid decision" brought on by competition, an effort to capture prize money and the corporate influence of Alyeska.
Johnson may be originally from Salt Lake City, but he has spent enough time hauling water and chopping wood during the harsh winters in the Interior of Alaska to know that blaming someone else for your actions won't help you get out of a tight spot.
"I should have known better than to take that air in the flat light conditions," Johnson said from his hospital bed.
We Alaskans pride ourselves on our personal freedom, and while practicing it, many of us make bad decisions all the time. While growing up here, I also learned that we pride ourselves on taking responsibility for those decisions. Finger pointing and placing blame might go over in the courtrooms of California, but it has no place up here in Alaska. Like any true Alaskan, Johnson takes full responsibility for his decision and the accident that followed.
However, this isn't just an issue of who is responsible; it's also an issue of motivation.
I'll be the first to admit that the extreme nature of outdoor sports competitions has been escalating over the years and that some of the athletes involved are motivated by prize money, sponsorships and glory. However, I work with a great number of world-class competing athletes and the motivation for every last one of them is first and foremost the love of competition. They love to push the limit of their abilities and have an insatiable passion for their sport. They are not "tools of the man."
Johnson approached the charity drive with just as much energy as he did his training, and before his accident he had already raised about $1,000 to buy a sit-ski for a sports program. Johnson relished the opportunity to use his passion to do some good and to share the joy of skiing with someone less fortunate than himself.
When we speak of the dangers of corporatism, what we're really talking about is the danger of the "me-first" mentality that is rampant throughout the corporate world as well as our communities today. This attitude is as present in our everyday social interactions as it is in our corporate boardrooms, our sporting competitions and even our newsrooms.
Johnson isn't an example of that danger. In fact, Johnson is an example of how one individual can make a positive difference for his or her community. Following Johnson's accident, support for him and his cause has poured in from all over Alaska and all over the country.
Ben Johnson started his efforts this winter as an individual trying to make a positive difference. He ended his ski season by bringing together a community trying to do the same.

I don't know how to respond to the level of risk. I think the Competitors might have a 1 in 10 chance of falling when they ski a line at the speeds they are skiing them.
The odds of being hurt or even woorse being killed are obviously much less likley.
This editorial and others I have read seem to say that all the competitors are risking a likley bad outcome every time they compete. Thst is just wrong.
I am really getting tired of reading these articles where Johns tragity is described as JUMPING OFF A CLIFF ON TO ROCKS
I saw what happened through the magnified view of a camera, I WILL NEVER FORGET. What I saw was that John missed (His 3rd turn) at just the wrong place. It was the perfect storm of bad luck.
It was a freakish accident that he lost control at the precise place that he did. That set off a very unfortunate and unlucky set of events that caused him to hit two sets of rocks perfectly wrong.
Well thats it for me, its been two weeks and I still think about John and what I saw every day.
dumbshit desk jockeys can't quite figure out that we ski because we like it, we jump off cliffs because it's freakin' fun, we ski tough lines because it's challenging and exhilarating. winning a comp, impressing your friends/your girlfriend/the public, getting sponsored-- surely these are motives for some people, at times.
but just plain stupid to ignore that the only reason anybody ever got good enough to be on a stage like a freeskiing comp in the first place is because they're motivated by a passion for their sport and the feeling in their soul every time they click in to their bindings.
edit: here's a list of people who have died in the "safe" auto racing:

It's obviously a little ranty, but the writer's basic thesis was a reaction to the "9 times out 10" quote from one of Ben Johnson's friends, not an indictment of Nicoletta. As he says: "Let's not quibble over the accuracy of this 9-in-10 claim, but accept for the moment that it is true." It's a strawman arguement.
This op-ed writer is not the one to do it, but after two deaths in big contests in the last couple of years, it's a fair topic for discussion. I think it is important to recognize that really good skiers can, and do, put themselves in situations that are beyond their ability to 'calculate' the risks. And it's fair to say that cameras, contests, etc. probably don't make it any easier.
meh.. I see people who question us for taking risks as people who ultimately have a problem accepting some key realities of life and the human condition.

my simple response is just because you fall doesnt mean your going to die. If we talk about the IFSA what are the stats? 1 death on 1000s if not 10000s of runs? sure the odds kinda of still suck but noone is thinking that they are going to die once every 10 runs.
I think everyone's main problem with his article and others similar is that that viewpoint (they're all sociopaths trying to kill themselves and tell the next generation that's the way to ski) is the only one that ever receives any publicity outside of the skiing world. .02.
..Oh yeah, re: the 2nd article of his posted here: Most deaths at ski areas occur to massive trauma to the body where a helmet would be completely ineffective. I could be wrong on the 'most' part, but I seem to remember seeing that somewhere, and I don't doubt it for a moment.Last edited by ODHGABFE; 04-24-2008 at 03:44 PM.

I think his statistics are perfectly reasonable. He simple states that two people die for every twelve runs taken. So one simply has to look at how many runs were done, and compare it to the number of deaths. I am sure this is exactly what he did.
Oh, wait! One person died, and there were a couple hundred runs over the comp. by the men and women, so it doesn't add up. Maybe he meant over the last couple years...nope two deaths, and many thousands of runs. I guess this asshole doesn't know what he is talking about. Who would have thought that.
...and someone should tell this fuck wad, that a lot of mountaineering is done with out ropes.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
Hey Medred: GO FUCK YOURSELF
Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care

Guy sounds like a hugh pussy!
if he wants to quote jack london......
"A venturesome minority will always be eager to set off on their own, and no obstacles should be placed in their path; let them take risks, for godsake, let them get lost, sunburnt, stranded, drowned, eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches - that is the right and privilege of any free American."
- Edward Abbey
How many people cried like Medred and wanted to stop NASCAR when Dale Earnhardt died?
Safety standards? WTF?
More people skiing at everyday levels in resorts die.
More people drown every year.
More people die doing drugs.
More people die having sex.
More people die driving cars.
People die. What are the odds on that? 100%
I was looking right at John when he died and can only hope I'll be so lucky as to go out in the same or similar fashion.
YKB - Thanks for those two editorials. Shows a big difference between the attitudes of writers who understand and care and a sensationalistic fear-mongering whore with a keyboard. Again, Medred! You are a pussy fukkin loser JONG bitch.Last edited by splat; 04-25-2008 at 05:35 PM.

An Elegant Jacket
9 comments:
- Roger said...
I always thought smoking jackets covered one's clothes (shirt and waistcoat) with a more double breasted cut and wide shawl collar, so one can smoke and then remove it and put your jacket back on and return to daily life not reeking of smoke?
I've never had one, probably never seen one, and I don't smoke, so I'm a novice in this respect.
In Dutch and German (and probably a few other languages) a 'Smoking' refers to a tuxedo or dinner suit, which makes me think wires have gotten crossed somewhere. - February 13, 2011 at 2:44:00 PM PST
- jonathan said...
Yes, I can't really understand this one either. The jacket seems to be teamed up with dark-gray dress trousers, a white dress shirt with buttons not studs, a black bow tie and, of all things, a cummerbund. It isn't black tie, it isn't a smoking outfit for the club, and it isn't understated and well-cut suited elegance for a formal day-time business occasion. However, it does say 'dressed up for a special occasion', it shows that the wearer is prepared to experiment, it certainly suits the wearer and I bet that he stood out from the crowd at the time. Surely progress is often made by those brave enough and knowledgeable enough to be able to defy convention and carry it off.

The usual smoking is single breasted and was originally worn as a short jacket to replace the tailcoat for after dinner cigars. The dinner jacket also being short, the term was adopted in Germany for the dinner jacket.
The smoking is not worn during the day. It is evening wear, the one in the photo would be fine for wear at a formal evening at a club, smoking or not. - February 13, 2011 at 6:00:00 PM PST

May I assume from the gentleman's stance that he hails from the city of Pisa?

It's a shame Mr. Stabile couldn't have an equally elegant bow tie made up. The one he is wearing is cartoonishly large for his head and frame.
- February 14, 2011 at 4:40:00 AM PST
- Horatio said...
I love the idea, but am not so certain on the execution.
To me, perhaps the greatest appeal of a smoking jacket is that it is not black. Having said that, a black velvet jacket (with peak lapels, no less!) may be, in some sense, more versatile than a traditional one in bottle green, plum, or maroon. Given the laxity with which most people approach black tie, a jacket like this, combined with otherwise standard black tie elements, could "pass" where a colored one could not.
Though I do wish that Mr. Stabile had worn a proper shirt, and a smaller tie. Sprezzatura, perhaps? - February 14, 2011 at 9:03:00 PM PST

Henry Poole isn't the only London tailor working with silk velvet. I have a doublet for wear with my kilt made of a very rich blue silk velvet by Meyer and Mortimer. Exquisite fabric!
- February 16, 2011 at 12:12:00 PM PST

This appears to be the work of Mr. Tom Ford. I love the combo! Pulling off Velvet jackets or Smoking jackets is usually quite difficult. Well done :)

Question: Am considering wearing a one-button, peak lapel, black velvet dinner jacket for my wedding which is black tie and in January in New York City. Would this be appropriate to wear this at either the reception, ceremony, or both? Many thanks.

Excerpts from today's paper:
The Tupelo Farmers' Market officially opens May 19, but vendors have been selling fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers, breads and baked goods there for the past two Saturdays.
It's been such a warm spring and farmers got stuff in the ground early," said Craig Helmuth, program associate for the Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association, which operates the market.
This past Saturday, vendors were selling:
"We'll continue to have the market open every Saturday until the official opening in three weeks," Helmuth said Friday. "After that, we'll be open Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays."
All 26 permanent stalls at the market have been rented for the season, which ends in October, and other vendors will be allowed in as space becomes available.
Saturdays from 6 a.m. until sold out. (our recommendation - go early. A lot of the vendors are gone by 10 or 11.)
Downtown Tupelo - in the shed at South Spring Street at the railroad tracks.
Cash only.

Jog n Hog II Set for Presque Isle June 15
By: Lou Baxter
Updated: February 20, 2013
February 20, 2013-The Erie Sports Commission (ESC) is pleased to announce a partnership with the 2nd annual Stanganelli's Pepperoni Ball Jog 'n Hog, a unique race event taking place Saturday June 15, 8:30 AM at Presque Isle State Park. Beginning at Beach 1, runners will complete a two-mile course where they will then stop to eat three or six Stanganelli's pepperoni balls and run, jog or walk back to the starting line.
The Jog 'n Hog is open to everyone 12 years and older. Participants receive a race t-shirt along with a coupon for 12 free Stanganelli's pepperoni balls (in addition to those consumed on the course). Each pepperoni ball is made up of four ounces of dough with pepperoni slices baked into the middle.
This year's Jog 'n Hog has expanded to two divisions: the "Whole Hogger Division" for those brave enough to down six pepperoni balls at the midway point of competition while the "Half Hogger Division" involves the consumption of three pepperoni balls. Racers may also form teams of 10 or more people and receive a reduction on the entry fee.
The Jog 'n Hog is a national race series that was founded in 2011 by brothers Brian and Andrew Smith, who grew up in Erie. Each race features food that is unique to the area of the country in which each race is held. "We are extremely pleased to be teaming up with the Erie Sports Commission to help us promote this unique event to the region," said Andrew. "Our goal is to make it an annual event on Erie's sports calendar, and we are confident that our partnership with the ESC will ensure that as well as draw participants from across the United States." ESC director Ron Sertz added, "We are proud to partner with Andrew and Brian and the Jog 'n Hog. This event is special and unique for our community, especially since the race organizers are both natives of Erie. We hope to make it bigger and better each year."
For more information about the Jog 'n Hog, visit www.jognhog.com or "like" Jog 'n Hog on Facebook, www.facebook.com/jognhog. Jog 'n Hog is a proud supporter of the Community Blood Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania. . Registration for the race is now open at www.jognhog.com

Just when you thought gaming had become a bit stale and predictable, up pops one of the 90's greatest games remastered and in HD, "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD" bursts onto XBLA for this years Xbox Summer of Arcade.
If you have been playing games for as long as I have you will remember during the 90's that Tony Hawk's ruled the Ps1 and was the 'must have' game just like the first person shooters of today, Tony Hawk ruled.
So you can imagine my delight when it came up for download on the XBLA. Anyway enough of me let's have a quick walkthrough of the game.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater HD is a combination of both Pro Skater 1 & 2, they have basically taken the best bits from both games and mixed them together with some fresh ideas, which I will talk through later.
The Parks
We have 7 to choose from, 3 from the first game and 4 from the second that include "Warehouse, School 2, The Hanger, Mall, Venice Beach, Downhill Jam (my personal favourite) and finally Marseille." It's fabulous to re-live these wonderful, exciting and sometimes infuriating yet addictive skate parks. There is confirmation of future DLC plans that will include some levels from THPS 3 which I am dead excited to play on.
Game Modes
There are classic game modes up for play including, "Career, Single Session and Free Skate." But since its release back in 1999 the gaming industry has grown massively especially with online gaming they have taken advantage of this and put in four online game modes, the best one of the lot has to be "Big Head Elimination" where the idea is to perform tricks and land combo moves to shrink the size of your head before exploding, leaving you headless until the other players lose their heads resulting in a frantic display of chaos and fun trying to be the last man (Skater) standing.
The Music
A mixture of new and old ones which does help to bring those memories back of playing the game almost every hour of every day haha.
Nothing has changed it's the same as it was back in '99 so after an hour of playing you will feel like you have time travelled back 13yrs ago and you'll be pulling off some sick flips and grabs and loving it with the benefit of playing it in HD which brings everything to life such as the colours, the skaters and pretty much everything THPS has to offer yet maintaining that classic playability.
Oh did I mention you can play as your avatar as well? Seeing your avatar pull off tricks and grinds will bring an even bigger smile to your face.
To summarise, it's great to see an awesome game from our past like THPS 1 and 2 get the 21st century treatment, it brings back some great memories and at a mere 1200 MSP this is certainly a game worth purchasing and reliving your youth even if it's only for a few hours a day. Get playing and SCORE BIG! See you on those leaderboards.
Both PS3 and PC dates are still to be confirmed.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (5/25/12) — A five-run first inning was too much for second-seeded Arkansas State to overcome as the Red Wolves (33-22) fell to the sixth-seeded Troy Trojans 8-3 Friday afternoon in ASU's second game of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament at Bowling Green Ballpark.
Arkansas State closed within 5-3 in the in the fourth, but Troy reliever Nate Hill (7-2) came on to retire 17 of the 21 batters he faced to earn the win for the Trojans. Hill struck out eight batters in five and two-thirds innings of work, walking two and allowing two hits.
With a win over Troy, Arkansas State would have advanced to Sunday's championship game against Louisiana-Monroe. Now, the Red Wolves must defeat Florida International in Saturday's game two, and hope for a Middle Tennessee win over Troy (28-29) in the Saturday opener. Troy is now 2-0 in Pool B, Arkansas State and Middle Tennessee are 1-1 and FIU is 0-2. An ASU victory over FIU, coupled with an MTSU victory over Troy would leave all three teams at 2-1, with Arkansas State winning the tiebreak as the higher seed.
"The five-spot put our offense in a hole," said ASU head coach Tommy Raffo. "They jumped us with the five runs, so we were trying to fight back and trying to get back in the game, we just never made it even again. We had to make a move to the bullpen in the first inning, and we scored a few runs and tried to shift the momentum for us, but they made a pitching change that changed the complexion of the ballgame."
Troy used a three-run double from left fielder Boone Shear to jump-start the five-run first inning, with designated hitter Jakob Nixon and center fielder Ali Knowles adding RBI singles in the frame to give the Trojans the 5-0 advantage after one.
The Red Wolves chipped away in the third with a pair of runs to cut the Trojan lead to 5-2. Center fielder Michael Faulkner singled, advanced to second on a bunt single from right fielder Collin Massanelli, and came home on when left fielder Logan Uxa reached on an error. Third baseman Claude Johnson singled in the other ASU run, driving in pinch runner Kaleb Brown from third.
The Red Wolves knocked another run off of the Trojans' advantage in the fourth when catcher Ryan Roberts put a solo home run over the right-center wall, but Troy answered with a run in the fifth when catcher Jake Harrell singled in a run to make it 6-3, Trojans.
An RBI single from Knowles stretched the Troy lead to 7-3 in the seventh and an insurance run in the eighth set the final at 8-3.
Junior Daniel Wright lasted just two-thirds of an inning in taking the loss for ASU. Wright gave up five runs on six hits, striking out one and walking one.
Roberts went 2-for-3 with an RBI to lead the ASU offense. Troy out-hit the Red Wolves 16-8 and was led by Nixon and second baseman Tyler Vaughn, who had three hits each.
The Red Wolves will wrap up pool play against third-seeded FIU Saturday at 3:00 p.m. The championship game, pitting the winner of Pool B against ULM, is scheduled for Sunday, May 27 at 1:00 p.m.

More specifically, military diplomacy is exercised within the framework of:
In the framework of the EUROPEAN UNION Greece:
In the framework of NATO Greece
In the framework of the United Nations Greece
Considers that the UN's interventions are positive and conducive to the preservation of peace and the allocation of humanitarian aid. Therefore, it participates actively in the composition of the forces which serve such purposes.
In the framework of the Organization For Security And Co-Operation In Europe (OSCE) Greece
Supports the transformation of this organization into an instrument of conflict prevention and crises management.
It is well known that in the context of the above organization, on the 26th of September 1998 an agreement was signed by the Ministers of Defence of the Balkan countries, during the summit in FYROM, for the establishment of a Multinational Peace Force in South Eastern Europe (MPFSEE). This Force aims at conflict prevention and the undertaking of peace-keeping missions. The first complementary Protocol was signed in Athens on January 12, 1999 and the second in Bucharest on November 30, 1999.

It's an ok kit, I think. Building is just not that good. Tools in the kit are good but are dated to the 60's or70's era. You may want to look into SMBC and modelcarjunkyard. I got a bunch of tools and shop equipment from SMBC, very nice parts and delivered within the stated delivery time 6 to 8 weeks. I got the gas station book from modelcarjunkyard. Its an ok book you have to print the blue prints out for 1/25 scale. It's not as good as there barn book but you can build a nice gas station from it you could also alter the plans a little and build it just as a two bay repair shop.
Hope this info helps some
Totally agree with Jason about SMBC,Chris makes some real nice diorama buildings and accessories if you want something easy to build.Here is the link to my diorama,you can see the MRC Texaco and buildings I have bought from Chris in the past.
Got to agree also with these guys. I had the kit, lots of nice details, you'll have a load of gluing to do, about 50 oil cans in 2 pieces. Check out Chris's stuff. first class.

Volunteer Searchers Suspicious of Adkins in Dunn Disappearance
By: Tiffany Tatro and Austin Kellerman
Updated: January 13, 2011
Authorities say they're now extremely focused on the criminal side of the case.
Scurry County law enforcement and volunteers scoured fields searching for clues in the disappearance of 13-year-old Hailey Dunn. Thursday marks the 17th day since the Colorado City teen vanished.
While many searchers were willing to speak, others told KTAB's Tiffany Tatro they feared possible retaliation from Shawn Adkins. Adkins has been labeled a "person of interest" and is the boyfriend of Hailey's mother Billie Dunn.
"Shawn's across the street watching us," said volunteer searcher Holly Jenkins. "I just have this motherly intuition."
Jenkins is from Midland and vows to stay searching in the community of Dunn until Hailey is found. She says she was shocked to hear the findings of search warrant affidavits.
"It still saddens me that Hailey was subjected to this type of lifestyle. I just hope that it means nothing," Jenkins told Tatro.
"I'm not feeling to well about the mother or the boyfriend right now," said Freda Radcliff, another volunteer searcher.
Radcliff said she was initially optimistic and hopeful. However, new developments have changed all that.
"I think it's going to be a horrible outcome," said Radcliff. "The fact that she said she could be found in Scurry County and that they should be looking at both of them. They've done something to her."
Despite her gut feeling, Radcliff says she and other searchers will still focus on their mission.
"I'm here for Hailey. That's the only person that I'm here for," said Radcliff.
"She's a little girl who needs all of us," added Jenkins. "We all should be out here helping."
Officials now say the information that leads to Hailey's safe return is $15,000. They previously estimated much higher at $25,000.

L A V B t T H P A G t NV 1 5 7 1 4 Island Trees Plainedge also serving Seaford Old Bethpage Plainview VOL. 19 NO. 43 Week of Jan. 31 - Feb. 7,1985 20 cents per copy On LIE The New York Public Interest Research Group, Inc., NYPIRG, today launched an attack on the U.S. Department of Energy for shipping deadly radioactive waste from Brookhayen National Laboratories over the Long Island Expressway and other highways through the densely populated New Yorkmetropolitan area. Theshipment, which left Brookhaven on Monday, January 21, shortly after midnight in sub-zero temperatures, endangered millions of sleeping New Yorkers by subjecting them to the risk of deadly radiation release., The casks used to contain the spent nuclear reactor fuel are considered unsafe during shipments, according to Lindsay Audin, a consultant to Citizens Against Nuclear Truck-irig (CANT), and a co-aufhor of The Nexi Nuclear Gamble. The casks are vulnerable to leaks caused by accident (or rupture due to terrorist attack). Radiation released from the casks wpuld^nTsike the area surrounding the site of release uninhabitable for decades. Kathieen^ W of NYPIRG pointed out that adequate eniergency prep plans had not been made^ leaving every community along the route out to Idaho FalliSv Idaho, iexceedirvgly vulnerable to r^^^ ' f- To help bring about a halt to these dangerous shipments, NYPIRG also announced a citizen action campaign designed to raise the awareness of the hundreds of thousands of residents living near the route of the shiprnents/and to galvanize massive grassroots opposition to further nuclear waste trucking. The NYPIRG campaign will involve recruiting volunteers to help educate other citizens on the issue through leafletting and teach-ins,working with local public officials in lobbying the federal and state governments to end sliTpments, and staging public events and demonstrations to give members of the public the opportunity to vent their opposition to having deadly fissionable materials trucked through their streets. "This is war," said Lee Brown, a staff member of NYPIRG at Queens College, "and the Energy Department hasTired the first salvo by shipping weapons-grade material without the consent and against the will of the people it's supposed to serve." Brown also pointed out that additional storage space exists on site at Brookhaven, making the recent shipment inexcusable. "We are literally defending our families, homes, aitd communities against a nuclear threat, from our own government!" said Neil Rosenstein, a NYPIRG staff mertiber at SUNY Stony Brook in Suffolk County. "The worst of it is, this makes no sense. They shipped"bn Monday morning, when the roads were icy, and winds were extremely high. Why, on one of the most dangerous days of the year — so cold that inaugural events had to be cancelled in Washington —over one of the most dangerous routes in the nation, did the Energy Department go out of its way.to force the shipment of the most dangerous type of material known to humankind? This is bureaucracy gone wild." The first community event scheduled for N YPIRG's citizen action campaign will take palce on February 4th. Nuclear Waste Transportation Alert Day will be held near Queens CenterMall at Queens Blvd. and 59th Ave. Volunteers will distribute information on the dangers of radioactive waste shipments to shoppers and pedestrians, asking them to voice their opposition to their U.S. Senators, Gov. Cuomo, and the U.S. Dept of Energy. Big Bambu KickedOff The Biis Hempstead Town Presiding Supervisor Thomas S. Gulotta, majority leader of the Nassau County Board of Supervisors, and Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon today announced that advertisements for Big Bambu cigarette rolling paper, which are featured on the buses of the metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority (MSBA), will be discontinued beginning in March, 1985. Allied Bus Ads, Inc., the agency which handles all advertising for MSBA buses assured Gulotta that: "In no w^ywill we,-Allied Bus Ads, renew the 'Bambu' contract upon its expiration in March of 1985." The appearnace of "Big Bambu' advertisements on MSBA buses drew fire from local school, PTA and anti-drug addiction groups which attacked the ads for promoting substance abuse. Big Bambu, on the other hand, countered that its product could also be used for the rolling of tobacco cigarettes and that the company offered a variety of other products for sale, including hair shampoo. "I am pleased that discussions with Allied Bus Ads has resulted in their decision not to renew Big Bambu's contract," Supervisor Gulotta noted. "1 believe that the great public outcry which these advertisements instigated was indicative of the high degree of public awareness that exists among Nassau County residents concerning substance abijise. And while it is true that JBig Bambu rolling paper could be employed to produce tobacco cigarettes, the vast Beth pagers Keep The Wheels Rolling majority of County residents feel, as do I, that this product was too closely associated with illegal drug use to allow it to be advertised on our public buses." District Attorney Dillon termed the continued, presence of Big Bambu advertisements on MSBA buses "An affront to the residents and taxpayers of our County." Dillon continued: "To have the use of Big Bambu rolliog paper promoted on our County's public buses was, in effect, condoning the use of a product which is fundamentally associated with one of the most pervasive forms of substance abuse: the smoking of marijuana cigarettes." Both Gulotta and Dillon lobbied hard with Allied Advertising to have the advertisements removed from MSBA buses. Meals on Wheels recipients throughout Nassau were given special attention during the recent holiday season, as volunteers organized by the VISITING HOME HEALTH SERVICES OF NASSAU, Inc (VHHS), the central agency for visiting nurse services that administers Meals On Wheels throughout Nassau, distributed hundreds of gifts to the home-bound. Meals On Wheels provides a hot lunch and a cold supper five days a week to some 250 home-bound patients, delivered right to the door by a team of over 400 volunteers. Organized and Administered by VHHS, the program is funded in part by the Nassau County Department of Senior Citizen Affairs. The living gifts shown here were furnished by the Syosset Garden Club. Here, Vice President Norman Jeanne Henriksen of Oyster Bay Cove (1) presents the floral piece to volunteer-drivers Mrs, Babe Reynolds of Bethpage, as Meals on Wheels Dispatcher at the Mid Island Hospital Herbert Diaz looks on. Double Blood Drive Two local H icksville churches, in an effort to increase area blood supplies, are sponsoring blood drives open to the public. All healthy individuals are encouraged to donate at either of the scheduled drives. Holy Family Church will host^ its blood drive on Wednesday, Februairy 6 from 3:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. A Long Island Blood Services bloodmobile will be set up in the Holy Family school cafeteria, located at 20 Fordham Avenue. A team of Long Island Blood Services nurses will also be on hand at the blood drive being sponsored by St. Ignatius Church on Thursday, February 7. This will be held in the old school cafeteria, located on East Nicholai Street, from 4 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. Donating blood is an easy and safe procedure. Each donor will receive a mini-physical that checks blood pressure, temperature and pulse. At the end of the donation, cookies, juice, coffee and tea will be served. If you are in good health, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and are between the ages of 17 land 66 you can donate blood. Within hours of each blood drive, Long Island Blood Services laboratory technicians will process the blood so that it can be distributed to hospitals throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Mar 13 2013
The English Defence League (EDL) is exploiting concerns surrounding sex-grooming gangs to fuel its anti-Islam agenda, a university report has said.
The far-right group is using recent cases, such as the nine Asian men jailed last year for grooming girls in Rochdale, to build support, King's College London found.
It is building a far-right network with countries across Europe, according to the university's International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation.
Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, one of the report's authors, said: "The EDL has successfully exploited concerns about the sex grooming gangs in the north of England, turning the issue into one of Islam versus the West."
Tommy Robinson, the EDL's leader, is considered a "rock star" by activists across Europe, Mr Meleagrou-Hitchens said.
"They want him to help their own organisations to become like the EDL. There's a danger that the UK will export this kind of vicious, far-right activism to the rest of the continent."
The EDL and its partners have worsened community tensions and further promoted ideas that helped inspire Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik, the report said.
A theme used by the EDL to try to boost its support is the topic of rape allegedly committed by Muslim men as evidence of the "Islamisation" of the West, the report said.
"This 'rape jihad', as it has become known, is a significant concern for the EDL. Interest has risen since revelations in the British media about the existence of sex-grooming gangs made up of Muslim men of south-Asian origin."
The EDL demonstrated in Rochdale in June last year to try to pressure police to refer specifically to gang members as "Muslim" so any alleged link between the religion and the crime could be inferred, the report said. The far-right group is sharing these tactics with partners in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other countries, the university department found.

EZFlap wrote:The Fravel TundraHawk Conversion is moving along well. The paper-only STC is currently available, for anyone who wants to use OEM Cessna parts. I have made one sale to a man who had collected the Cessna parts.
This morning I was at the water jet cutter, making a final adjustment to the CNC files for the inboard gearbox bracket, and to the upper "spar cap" for the forward gearbox bulkhead. I'm really proud of the clever-ass way that part turned out... mucho less money, 20% stronger part, mucho easier installation.
To answer the most common question, related to the 172TW versus 170B selection question... I cannot yet accurately guess the price for my proposed parts kit. I know the cost of the materials and processes... far less than OEM parts... but I do not yet know how many banks and liquor stores I will have to rob to get it through STC and PMA approval. Unless some extinction-level event happens, I WILL win this battle sooner or later, the kit WILL be approved, and I WILL offer a parts kit. It WILL be far less expensive than OEM parts, because if it is not then the entire effort won't have been worth starting.
It may indeed be more money to convert a 172 than it would be to buy a B model 170... even with my dedicated slashing of the upgrade costs. But it also may be reasonably close. But the number of low time, un-broken, not bent, not abused 170B's out there is far less than the number of reasonably good old straight tail 172's.
Everyone is always quick to point out that a 170 or 172TW will not ever be a 180, with the moveable tail. They are correct... a 172 TW will NEVER be able to match the macho fuel flow, insurance cost, maintenance cost, acquisition cost, and heavier feel of a 180
In response to previous comments about how big and expensive of a project the conversion is... I will be making VERY significant reductions in the amount of disassembly and surgery required. This will have a very large effect on the costs if you have to take it to a shop to do.
At the discretion of the forum admin, I will be glad to address any specific questions or flaming arrows here, or on the previous Fravel thread, as directed.

Team Issue Rain Jacket
Photos by Dan Sharp
The rest of the United States can look away. This does not pertain to you. Enjoy your sunny summer riding.
Sometimes people say that they do not want to visit here because it "rains all the time in Portland." Usually, they mean it with a bit of hyperbole. At least that is what we like to think. The truth of the matter is that Portland barely factors in to anything when it comes to average rainfall in the United States. This report by Live Science claims that it is not, and does not, factor into even the top 10 for average rainfall. You could have fooled me. In the past few weeks there has only been one day when the first thing that I reached for on the way out the door was something other than my Rain Jacket.
The day before the Tour of the Battenkill photographer Dan Sharp followed the team as they shook the travel out of their legs. Rain or shine if Director Herety says ride, they ride. On this particular day they spun their legs looking for some of the dirt sections that they would face the following day at Battenkill. The weather was less than ideal but Mr. Sharp's resulting images were well worth braving the weather and their continued results as the season progresses is a sure sign that they are doing something right.

Detergent should be used sparingly and preferably non-bio, if you really want to care for the jacket. Also make sure you don't wash it above 30 degrees C. No tumble drying or dry cleaning either please!!
