JulesPerfect for the Surface ProAfter spending some time looking around for a nice bag to carry my Surface Pro and accessories, I came across the Knomo Kilkenny.
It's a great fit and has plenty of room for the computer itself and my other accessories. If you like to keep things simple, this is the bag for you. -
AlexLovely bagI can't find something bad about this bag, it is perfect for my needs. -
ChaiLove itFantastic bag, soft, beautiful feel. Hangs extremely well. Pockets are a touch tight, but hold beautifully. -
DavidPerfect SizeI put my MacBook Air 11" into this bag. Didn't want too much room as that only encourages me to travel heavy to and from the office. Holds USB cables, papers, and the charger with internal pockets for business cards and the such.
My only wish (a minor one that does not detract from my review score) is that I would like a leather strap. -
Klas OGreat messenger bag for the 11" laptopI've been using a larger Knomo messenger bag for six months and seeing the 11" bag in shop made me buy it right away.
Great quality, great design with several different sized pockets for all the things you bring in addition to the laptop.
I can strongly recommend this bag. -
MauroGreat leather/ fabric bagGreat leather/bag
MacBook Pro 13" will JUST fit. I tried. Although I would go for it.
Perfect for 10" tablets though and other daily stuff. Very happy with i -
RobertIdeal for Lenovo Thinkpad HelixI wanted a quality bag for the helix that also could hold the accessories including the charger. The Kilkenny is a perfect match. -
DominicCompact sized bag, perfect for ChromebooksHaving already owned a larger Knomo bag for 5 years I know how well made these bags are. I wanted a much smaller messenger bag for the daily commute and this bag is the perfect form factor.
I have a 12.5" HP EliteBook 2570p which is a tight fit, but is just accommodated. I also have a slightly smaller Samsung Chromebook Series 5 XE500C21 which fits just fine.
Overall a really smart and well designed bag. -
AndyAmazing bag!My weekday travels are usually very hectic and time consuming. This promoted me to investigate my options in sourcing a high quality bag which was light, of a high quality and able to organize my daily essential gadgets. I stumbled upon the Knomo kilkenny by a chance visit to House of Fraser on Oxford Street, London. Although a tad pricey for an 11" man-bag, at £165, it ticked all my boxes. Made of luxurious high quality leather with ample storage space in a compact design, I was immediately sold.
On my daily commute, I carry my iPad, iPad mini, Kindle Paperwhite, PS Vita, Moleskine notebook, a selection of pens and styli, wallet and iPhone 5. This bag comfortably holds them all, without the squashed feeling I got from other bags.
There is a main compartment inside the bag, which holds my iPad and Logitech keyboard. However, the bag is designed to accommodate up to an 11″ MacBook Air. Another main compartment houses further gadgets, and is home to my PS Vita and Kindle Paperwhite. The front zipped compartment is also roomy, holding a small Moleskine notebook and pens/styli. There is a large pocket at the back of the bag as well, providing immediate and easy access to my iPad mini and wallet, when on the go. Finishing is top-notch, with high quality soft leather on the front flap along with a subtle Knomo logo.
In addition, Knomo provide each bag with a unique printed code. The idea is that the owner registers their bag/code with Knomo, and if found, the finder can call Knomo (free phone) to help reunite you with your gear.
In conclusion, the Knomo kilkenny has definitely improved the organization of may daily commute. Be that on the train, setting up my iPad at Starbucks or for quick access to my Oyster/other cards. The high quality and style are a very welcome bonus. I cannot fault this bag and if the high price-tag doesn't put you off, you will struggle to find another bag offering the same quality and versatility in a compact design. 5/5 -
RolandThis bag will exceed your expectationsI'm a fairly simple kind of guy and when I was going to buy my second Knomo bag I really only needed it to do 2 things really well:
1. protect my iPad
2. carry my lunch
I know from my first Knomo bag that protecting my iPad was a given. I know from before that their attention to detail with the design is flawless but from the bag dimensions on the internet I wasn't sure if it would hold my lunch.
If Knomo believed in distribution then this wouldn't be a problem, see the physical bag and buy it! But that's another story.
The Kilkenny is a small bag, that's the whole point of buying it, but you'll really be surprised at the amount of stuff you can put in it. I carry a note book (writing by hand, crazy when I've also got an iPad with me that's must me) several different coloured pens AND something to eat.
This bag looks fantastic, it will protect your iPad or Mac Air, it makes it easy to find everything else you carry with you and for a small bag you'll be really surprised how it holds. -
JohnNice but a bit smallI got my Kilkenny 11" yesterday and just have to say thank you. The quality is amazing and feels awesome. The only slight drawback is that the bag is a bit tight. I can't imagine one fitting more than an 11" air, charger, a notebook and a wallet in it. It will probably fit all those things just nice but nothing more.
It wont fit a standard A4 notebook.
Anyway, I'm really happy with the bag. Asides from being a tad smaller than I was expecting it's perfect. -
GuyJust love it!Today I got my Kilkenny Messenger. The minute I set foot outside, I just HAD to take my new Knomo bag with me. There was room enough in it! I was amazed about how much you can take with you. I took my Ipad, Iphone, a deodorant, a magazine, and a scarf with me,... All of that in just one bag!
The strap is very comfortable. You can easily adjust it to the length you want. Perfect!
It's the ideal bag for men! I'm already addicted to it! :-) -
Colin Francis David JonesLove, love, love...This is a lovely bag and looks even better in the flesh than it does in the photos. I buy a lot of bags, but this is already my favourite.
It just looks so stylish and the fabulous leather just oozes quality. I use the bag to carry my iPad, my MacBook Air 11", iPhone, keys and morning newspaper. -
Tim GAwesome bag - and *just* fits the Macbook Air 13"I wanted a beautiful leather bag to replace my a nylon Booq bag which was functional but not very stylish.
I needed to be able to fit my Macbook Air 13" or my iPad depending on what I needed to use that day and came across Knomo and fell in love with the Bungo but disappointingly it only came for 15" and 17" laptops.
Browsing online would not solve my problem because I needed to know how big the 15" Bungo was and if it would be overkill for my 13" Macbook and iPad so I found some stockists.
It turned out the 15" Bungo is pretty bulky - great if you've got at 15" and need to carry around a bunch of accessories, etc. but I wanted something lighter.
I came across this one the Kilkenny online, but ruled it out on the basis that it is for an 11". It turns out that I can *just* fit my 13" Air in there so it ended up being the perfect choice! Definitely won't fit a 13" Pro though!
Anyway, really happy with the bag. It ticks all the boxes, but Knomo.. please make more 13" bags!! -
SouthAfricanGreatest bag everThis is the greatest bag ever. It's the perfect size for your iPad, wallet, keys, ID and all other stuff always lying around in my car. Now I have the perfect stylish solution for a man bag, without the stupid looks of a man carrying a man bag. The quality and style of this bag is excellent! This was money well spent on a lifetime accessory. Well done Knomo, I've been looking for years for a perfect bag like this.

Ohlendorf pitches Nationals past Marlins 2-1
The Washington Nationals are trying to stay in the playoff race. Pitching performances like this one will surely help.
Ross Ohlendorf pitched neatly into the sixth inning, Ian Desmond had three hits and the Nationals beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Tuesday night.
''Nothing like a little laugher,'' Nationals manager Davey Johnson cracked.
Washington kicked off a six-game homestand with its sixth victory in the last seven games. The Nationals began the day eight games behind Cincinnati for the second NL wild-card spot.
Ohlendorf (3-0) pitched five innings of two-hit ball before Christian Yelich led off the sixth with his second homer, ending the starter's outing. It was Ohlendorf's second start since he was sidelined by right shoulder inflammation.
''He's done that now several times,'' Johnson said when asked if Ohlendorf hit a wall in the sixth, when his velocity was noticeably lower. ''I was kind of ready for it with (Tanner) Roark. He just kind of ran out gas like he did the game before.''
Roark, Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard each pitched a hitless inning before Rafael Soriano finished the four-hitter for his 34th save.
Roark pitched out of trouble in the sixth after walking Giancarlo Stanton and Logan Morrison with one out. Clippard handled the top of Miami's order in the eighth, including three straight swinging strikes against the dangerous Stanton.
''I just wanted to get ahead of him and once I threw strike one I wanted to go after him because he was going to be aggressive,'' Clippard said. ''That's what I did, and he chased a couple of fastballs and I got him.''
Yelich finished with two hits for Miami, which has lost six of seven. Nathan Eovaldi (2-5) allowed two runs - both in the first - and eight hits in six innings.
''I thought Eovaldi looked good, he pitched a good game, he gave us a chance to win,'' Marlins manager Mike Redmond said.
''The bullpen did a nice job and really had it laid out perfectly. Just didn't score the runs. Four hits, we've kind of seen this story before a few times this year.''
The Washington victory came in the opener of a stretch of 19 consecutive games against the Marlins, Mets and Phillies, all NL East teams below .500.
''Now's the time,'' Johnson said before the game. ''I still think we need to win close to 90 games (to make the playoffs). So every game we need to play well, we need to pitch well.''
Ohlendorf and the bullpen took care of the pitching, and the lineup did just enough damage in the first.
Ryan Zimmerman and Bryce Harper had consecutive one-out singles, putting runners on the corners. Zimmerman scored on Jayson Werth's groundout and Desmond singled in Harper to make it 2-0.
''Just ran into some trouble in that first inning,'' said Eovaldi, who is 0-5 with a 4.30 ERA in his last eight starts. ''And if I can just avoid that one inning here and there, I feel like I'd be a lot better off.''
Washington totaled seven baserunners after the first, but couldn't add to its run total. All nine Nationals hits were singles.
Ohlendorf retired his first nine batters before Yelich singled to start the fourth. Stanton then doubled with one out and Logan Morrison was walked intentionally to load the bases.
Ohlendorf then fanned Ed Lucas and got Justin Ruggiano to ground into a fielder's choice, ending the threat.
''He was great. He made pitches. He threw some good breaking balls,'' Johnson said.
NOTES: Denard Span and Harper extended their hitting streaks to 10 and nine games, respectively. ... The Nationals recalled RHP Ryan Mattheus from Triple-A Syracuse and optioned LHP Xavier Cedeno to their top farm club. ... Redmond said RHP Jose Fernandez has two or three starts remaining before the club shuts the 21-year-old down. Fernandez has thrown 152 2-3 innings and could approach his team-imposed 170-inning limit during his next two starts. ... Johnson said an X-ray of LF Harper's left foot was negative after he fouled a ball off his leg on Sunday. ... Johnson said ''probably not'' when asked if LHP Ross Detwiler, on the DL since early July with a back strain, will return before the end of the season. Detwiler has begun playing catch, but hasn't thrown off the mound. ... The Marlins reinstated INF Placido Polanco from the 7-day concussion DL. ... Miami RHP Henderson Alvarez (2-3, 3.86 ERA) opposes Stephen Strasburg (6-9, 3.00 ERA) in Wednesday's game.

Abstract: | Examining the rational individual, this book develops a new approach to the theory of social relations. It explores how far we make sense of society on the assumption that people act as independent and free individuals, exercising rational choice. Re-examining the family, community, workplace and state, the author offers a thorough and original critique of the social policies of 'New Labour'. |

CLICK HERE to buy Rage Against The Machine's albums
on CD or mp3 from our Amazon Associate store!
Rage Against the Machine was the genre-spawning debut album by rap-metal band Rage Against The Machine, released November 11, 1992. The songs tend to feature political mantras as rapped vocals. The album peaked at #17 in the UK albums chart, #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and #45 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
The rapped vocals and funk-metal guitars mixed with hard hip-hop/funk beats and grooves were a massive deviation from the traditonal rock/metal of the time, but before long "Nu-Metal" arrived on the scene, making such genre crossovers commonplace.
Guitar sound
Tom Morello's guitar technique stays on fairly traditional territory on this album, compared to subsequent albums, tending to be more influenced by funk and metal, as opposed to the more experimental hip-hop-influenced guitar styles Morello strays towards on later Rage albums.
What do magazines know, anyway?
In 2001 the album Rage Against the Machine was named in Q magazine as one of the "50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time" (which is rubbish, as anyone that has heard the wealth of thrash and death metal that is out there would agree). The album is included in the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". In 2003, the album was ranked #368 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time".
Turn it up to 11
The album is known for its high production values, which are almost to the strictest audiophile standards. Some audiophile magazines and websites even go as far as using the album — in particular the song "Take the Power Back" — to test amplifiers and speakers.
One of the songs, "Know Your Enemy", features Tool / A Perfect Circle vocalist Maynard James Keenan on "additional vocals". Keenan has occasionally appeared onstage with Rage to perform the song.
"Acclaimed" BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe named Rage Against the Machine as one of four albums to be added to his list of 'Masterpieces', and his personal favourite album, on December 2nd, 2008 (although repeatedly naming the singer as 'De La Rocker').
That man's on fire!
The cover artwork features a famous photo of Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, burning himself to death in Saigon in 1963. The monk was protesting President Ngô Đình Diệm's administration for oppressing the Buddhist religion. The photograph drew international attention and persuaded U.S. President John F. Kennedy to withdraw support of the Ngô Đình Diệm's government. It was taken by Associated Press correspondent Malcolm Browne; a similar photograph earned the award of World Press Photo of the Year in 1963.
Political Inspiration
Activists such as Provisional IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands and Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton are listed in the "Thanks For Inspiration" section. Also thanked were Ian and Alec MacKaye – De La Rocha was "Straight Edge" at the time, though he later took up smoking.
The lyrics for each song were printed in the album booklet with the exception of those for "Killing in the Name", which were omitted; the booklet reads "2. KILLING IN THE NAME", skips the lyrics and continues with the next song.
No synths
The statement "no samples, keyboards or synthesizers used in the making of this record" appears at the end of the sleeve notes, and similar statements were made in the band's subsequent albums. The band also refer to themselves as "Guilty Parties" in the sleeve notes of each album.

An inspiring album in so many ways, and not a weak track on the whole album. This album should be a definite purchase for any self-respecting rocker, metaller, nu-metaller, neo-goth, funkster, hip-hopper and/or fan of REAL music.

I really think Scott Rolen will end up with around a .700 OPS or even better this year. Let's not forget that Rolen has just a .203 BABIP at this time. His LD rate is slightly down, but still 18.3%. Considering Rolen's defensive aptitude and the fact that his bat will be acceptable this year, the Reds' aren't in dire straits at third base.
Cairo has proved to be a useful fill-in over the last few years and Frazier is really showing something in a very limited sample this year.
I believe the 3B problem is overblown on Redszone. Certainly Mike Costanzo is not an upgrade over any of the Reds current three third basemen on the 25-man roster.
If a premier 3B (David Wright) becomes available at the trade deadline, sure the Reds should see if they can get something done, but I don't think it is a black hole to the degree of us having to pimp our AAA third baseman who OPSed .630 in AAA last year.

YANGON: Ten people were injured and police fired warning shots as a mob attacked a mosque in central Myanmar on Tuesday, authorities said, in the latest religious unrest to hit the country.
Fighting in the small town of Oakkan, around 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of Yangon, was sparked after a woman bumped into a young novice monk knocking his alms bowl onto the ground, according to a Myanmar state television announcement.
It is the latest unrest to flare in the region north of Yangon, Myanmar's main city, after a series of attacks by Buddhist mobs on Muslim homes, businesses and mosques in March.
"Security forces had to fire warning shots to disperse the crowd as they threw stones at a religious building, destroyed the facades of shops and dragged things out of the premises in Oakkan town," said the evening bulletin.
"During the clash, ten people were injured, eight of whom had minor injuries," it said.
Earlier, presidential spokesman Ye Htut posted on his Facebook page that a mosque had been attacked, adding calm had been restored.
The state television announcement, which was also published on the information ministry website, said 25 shops and a "religious building" were attacked. It made no mention of arrests over the violence.
At least 43 people were killed and thousands were left homeless in March in fighting apparently triggered by a quarrel between a Muslim gold shop owner and Buddhist customers in the central town of Meiktila.
Some monks were involved in the clashes while others are behind a nationalistic campaign calling for a boycott of Muslim-owned shops.
The unrest has exposed deep religious tensions in the formerly junta-run nation and cast a shadow over reforms under a quasi-civilian regime that took power two years ago.
Last year around 200 people were killed in clashes between Buddhists and Muslim Rohingya -- a minority treated with hostility by many Burmese who see them as illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.
While the Rohingya -- described by the UN as among the most-persecuted minorities on the planet -- have long been denied Myanmar citizenship, the Muslims targeted in March's unrest are Myanmar nationals.
Human Rights Watch last week accused authorities of being involved in "ethnic cleansing" in Rakhine -- a claim the government denies.
An official report into the unrest this week suggested doubling the security presence in the state and recommended keeping the communities apart as a temporary measure to prevent further violence.

Crap and expensive By Anthony on 12/3/13
Anthony wouldn't recommend this product to a friendSo I may be a bit jaded since mine arrived with a small hole in it, This resulted in GFO and carbon getting into my tank and sump. I didn't also for a refund, not worth the effort, but I've gotten comparable quality mesh filter socks at my LFS for less that $2 (ok, to be fait, the draw string on these is very nice, but the rest is no different). -
Poor quality stitching By Gordon on 6/10/13
Gordon wouldn't recommend this product to a friendFilter sock would be excellent except the stitching comes apart after only one or two washings. Loose threads could float into pumps and cause problems. -

buy it now, a felt and mesh By Joe on 3/23/13
Joe would recommend this product to a friendOK lots of people use these, however you need a pair every two days to quickly change them out when filled with some serious funk. Or when an angry spouse asks how much longer are you cleaning that thing. I use felt and mesh combined with great results, and yes swap them out quickly. They are easily rinsed, and cleaned with a little chlorine (bleach) and water soaked several hours. Make sure they are thoroughly rinsed of chlorine before they go back in the tank. Great buy! -

UNEP/CMS Executive Secretary Robert Hepworth paid his inaugural visit at the 52nd General Assembly of the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC) held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 11-14 March.
In his speech delivered to the CIC members he emphasised the Convention's constructive engagement with CIC as a key and emerging partner in sustainable use. He also expressed CMS' concerns as to the conservation status of key species in the Sahel and Sahara. As a bird of prey the Houbara Bustard is mainly threatened by unsustainable hunting and poaching. Antelopes and gazelles continue to be exposed to excessive and partly illegal hunting activities. Slides visualising the need for sustainable management of these species call for immediate action. The establishment of a protected area would help the implementation of the CMS Sahelo-Saharan Antelope Action Plan in the region. CIC members endorsed the message that all hunting should cease for the time being.

DS is 20 months old and started about 2 weeks ago having tantrums before naps and bedtime. Often, he nurses and seems to want to fall asleep nursing (and touching my belly button) but has trouble. My milk supply is lower now that I'm pregnant and maybe he wants more than there is. I put him down when he seems done nursing, but he asks to nurse again right away. Usually he gets agitated when he realizes there's not much more milk, then I lay him down and tell him the milk is "all done" and it's time to sleep and start rubbing his back. He then starts pushing himself up and crying and yelling "milk all done" and throwing himself all over his bed (mattress on the floor), sometimes rolling off and bumping his head and throwing himself into my lap. When he seems to slow down, I lay him back down again and this gets him even more fired up. I try to offer water in case he is thirsty and sometimes this is the case. We often do this get up/lie down dance for a while (this last time, 40 minutes), until he finally falls asleep to me patting or rubbing his back. He seems genuinely tired and does almost all his crying with eyes closed. But I wonder sometimes if he could drop his nap. I don't know.
I feel like I'm being too rigid sometimes, but DS is a pretty demanding kid and I really want my free time during his nap for as long as I can have it. I am at a loss. What would you do? I think that nursing to sleep is his favorite thing, but it's not working like it used to. He's such a busy guy that I can't think of another way to wind him down that works anymore.

LeBron James was mobbed on his way out of the Jay-Z concert at Madison Square Garden last night -- with people begging and pleading for King James to leave Cleveland for the New York Knicks.
James was just one of a ton of stars who rolled through Jay's sold-out concert -- but people treated 'Bron like he was the biggest star on the planet ... even bigger than the guy he came to see.
So we gotta ask ...
OMG 1st!!!
Lebron is cool, he just needs to get the heck out of Cleveland. Wish the Lakers could sign him, but he def needs to be in NY playing Ball
This is why the Chinese are going to take over the world. This preoccupation and hero worship of celebrities and professional athletes is out of control. Oh well, chinese food is yummy.
You moronic Knicks and Nets fans get it out of moronic heads....why the hell would he goto 2 teams that could not even beat CCNY's starting varsity or JV teams combined!!! Dream on and it will be kinda of cool to watch you idiot Knicks and Nets fans cry again and again when you keep losing!!!
how in the world is lebron james bigger than jay z? i didn't even know who lebron was until i read some comments. if i saw him on the street i would walk by not having a clue that he is someone famous. tmz has a pic of him with a hood on and sunglasses so i still don't know what he looks like. now jay z is more popular. even my 63 year old mother knows who he is. he keeps his face on tv where needed. lebron who? jigga what?
Like Lebron is really bigger than Jay-Z. Come on now get a better story, this is no question that needs an answer. For all the idiots who really believe Lebron is bigger than J, where have you been. Why would J even be dumb enough to be near a croud of people at his own concert besides when he is on stage?
Le Bron James thinks he's NBA champ but in reality he is NOT!!!
Get a ring first son before you claim superstardom!!!
Kobe yeah people can hate but hes got 3 ring thats right 3 rings!!!!
ight LeBron is the king of B-ball and Jay-z is the king of Hip hop now the question is who is bigger? and Hands down Jay-z wins! end of story.
There is no way Lebron is bigger... You have to take into account the large number of women who dont watch basketball... They don't care about Lebron... However a large percentage of those women do listen to Jay-Z so right there is the evidence to prove that Jay-Z is still bigger!!!
all you Lebron hater's need to get a life!! Lebron is wayyyy bigger then Gay-z, lebron will be a multiple NBA champ, and he's a nice person, and as for Ego..if i was lebron I would also have an ego..you loser stop hatin , and debatin...dont get itimidatin when a brotha makes it..damn losers..lebron is for real self made, so many haters..just keep on hatin, damn haters..probably hate your own life, when you see someone make's it...damn HATERS!!
I love them both. Lebron should stay right here in Cleveland, and he is. Get over it. Hova is just as big too. Stop comparing people gawd.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ill. — Funeral services have been scheduled for Army Spc. Trevor Pinnick, a Lawrenceville, Ill. soldier killed June 12 by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan.
Specialist Pinnick's body will arrive at 9 a.m. Saturday at Mid-America Air Center in rural Lawrence County, Ill.
"His body will be transported through Lawrenceville first, then to Vincennes," said Don Frederick of the Duesterberg Fredrick Funeral home in Vincennes, Ind. "We will be traveling along Old U.S. Route 50 into Lawrenceville, the back to Vincennes. That route was chosen by Specialist Pinnick's wife. It was the route they always took from Lawrenceville to Vincennes."
His body will be returned to Lawrenceville on Sunday for a public visitation.
Visitation will be from 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Lawrenceville, Ill. High School auditorium. Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Monday at the auditorium.
Burial will be at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Vincennes, Ind.
"The gratitude being shown to the Pinnick family by the people of both Lawrenceville and Vincennes has been amazing," Frederick said. The city of Vincennes has donated the burial plot for Specialist Pinnick along with all the associated costs.
"There will be no charge for our services, and the vault company is adding a plaque to the top of the vault that depicts a fluttering flag. The Ewing Printing Company in Vincennes is donating all the programs."
Additionally, Larry "The Flag Man" Eckhardt of Little York, Ill., has confirmed he will erect his massive American flag display along the funeral route.
Pinnick was one of two soldiers killed June 12 in Panjwai, Kandahar province, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when insurgents attacked their unit with an roadside bomb. Sgt. Joseph M. Lilly, 25, of Flint, Mich., died of his wounds on June 14.
Pinnick died June 12.
Both were assigned to the 18th Engineer Company, 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.

Timber-based sheeting and its uses is a subject most people take for granted. Using the right product for the job is comparable to using the correct tool. This Good Idea Leaflet attempts to explain a little about each material; what it is, how it is made, it's recommended uses and anything you should be careful of during use.
Timber-based panel products are sheet materials in which wood is predominant
in the form of strips, veneers, chips, strands or fibres and are usually recognised within the following groups:
Timber-based panels are versatile products with a wide variety of uses, due to:
Timber-based sheet materials are manufactured to a series of European Standards (ENs), which are published as national standards, for example in the UK as BS ENs. The BS ENs replaced the previous BS product specification standards in the UK in 1997.
Where possible, timber based sheet materials should be stored flat and allowed to condition where they will be used. This process will usually take between 48 and 72 hours, depending on the material and local conditions. Care should be taken to protect corners and the edges of the sheet, especially where these will be butted together.
Timber panels are normally manufactured at low moisture contents, between 2% and 12%, and may still be very dry at the time of purchase.
Timber and timber-based panels expand when adsorbing moisture from the surrounding air, and shrink when moisture is lost. Panels are manufactured to fairly tight tolerances and excessive changes in moisture content can lead to size changes that can cause problems such as bowing.
You can reduce the risk by matching the moisture content of the panels, at the time of installation, to the area in which it/they will be used.
Timber sheet materials should be protected from the elements, stacked flat on a level surface, with all edges flush. In areas subject to wetting, should be sufficiently clear to avoid wetting from the ground.
Note: Where possible, don't stack panels on their edge.
When storing a quantity of material, ideally, the best base for a stack is close boarded or slatted pallet. If this is not possible, then the panels should be carefully stacked on battens of equal thickness, at centres of not more than 600mm.
When stacking thin panels (less than 6mm), they should be supported under the whole area by a flat panel of at least 18mm thickness.
If you are stacking a large quantity, then Intermediate bearers should be used every 10 - 15 panels, this will allow ventilation through the stack. Each layer of battens must be placed directly above those in the layers below. The battens should run across the short part of the sheet and any overhang must not be more than 150mm, or the sheet will distort. If stacking for long periods, extra bearers should be used.
When using large sheets of material, whilst this is obvious, don't be tempted to work by yourself. Apart from some products being heavy, all will act like a sail when exposed to a wind and are more than capable, in the right conditions, of dragging you off an exposed roof, ladder or scaffolding.
When cutting, sanding, routing and drilling always wear gloves, a facemask and goggles. Where practical, always use dust extraction.
Sheet materials should be fixed at regular intervals. The frequency is dependent on the type and thickness of sheet, the fixing method and where it is being used. For example, an exposed garage roof in a windy coastal location will need more frequent securing than one in the centre of an inland town but if in any doubt, add more. When fixing sheets to floors or walls it is a good idea, where possible, to mark pipe and cable runs for future reference.
Tip: When fixing to joists or where you need a straight line, find the centre of the joist at one end and tap in a pin or thin nail into the sheeting, leaving enough proud to attach twine or string. At the other end of the joist, again, find the centre and tap in another thin nail or pin. Next, attach a piece of twine between both pins/nails. Add your desired fixing at regular/suggested intervals along this line. Do this for each joist or desired fixing line. Remove centre line and pins once sheet is secured.
Where a minimum fixing distance from the edge or corner is mentioned, it should be noted that this is dependent on the method and fixing size also the type tool used. Always experiment on a piece of waste material and adjust accordingly.
What is OSB: It is a tough uniform and consistent product that's free from knotholes, splits and voids, to either the face or the core. It is also a good 'value for money' board that is a very useful for various building applications, and can be used as an alternative to plywood.
OSB is made from softwood strands and exterior phenolic resin. The strands are arranged in layers, with the top and bottom oriented roughly parallel to the length of the board and the core layer oriented roughly at right angles to the surface layers. This allows for good engineering of the panel characteristics.
OSB can be fixed with adhesive, nails, staples and screws. To reduce the chance of splitting, drill a small pilot hole before screw fixing.
Panels must be laid with long edges at 90° to supports and short edge joints must be staggered. All short edges must be supported on joists/studs or noggins
Fixings should be no closer to the edge than 12mm or 25mm from corners.
OSB can be glued with all types of woodworking adhesive and can be painted with any quality wood-paint system.
OSB2 is for use in dry conditions.
Use for temporary hoarding, packing cases, in-situ formwork, interior cladding, agricultural buildings, portable buildings furniture, garden sheds; shop fitting and display; boarding-up.
OSB3 is a load bearing/structural board which can be used in humid conditions.
Use for flooring, roofing timber frame wall sheathing, formwork, long-term site hoardings etc.
Note: As with most timber products, it is preferable to store OSB for at least 48 hours in the area in which it will be used, allowing the sheet to match the moisture content in the area of service - this is called 'conditioning'.
The current British Standard for OSB is:
- BS EN 300- 1997 Oriented strand boards (OSB)- Definitions, classification and specifications
What is Plywood: Simply put, it is any sheet of wood made of three or more thin layers of timber that have been bonded together with glue.
Plywood is a very versatile board. It is generally made of alternate cross veneers of hardwood or softwood, which are then glued together.
To reduce damage when cutting, score through the outer veneer on both sides of the sheet using a sharp knife and straight edge, adding masking tape will also help, before starting to saw.
To avoid damaging the finishing face, cut the panel from that face i.e. for hand sawing have the face upwards, for power sawing have the face downwards. Use a fine tooth panel saw for sheets between 6 and 12mm. Above 12mm, use a coarse tooth panel saw.
Electric saws are more likely to damage the outer skin where the saw cuts away from the material, make sure this is not the side you want as the face.
Plywood can be fixed with adhesive, screws, nails or staples.
Fixings should be no closer to the edge than 10mm or 15mm from corners.
Screws don't grip well in plywood so if fitting hinges or the like, use nuts and bolts with large washers to squeeze the sheet. Where you need to screw or nail into the edge of plywood i.e. where a joint is required fit a softwood batten or frame, so than both sheets of ply can be fixed.
When gluing, you must roughen the surface with abrasive paper first, brushing away the dust before applying the glue. Spread the glue evenly and apply clamp together. An adhesive only bonds to the top surface of the plywood, so don't just rely on gluing to support heavy weight.
Exterior grade plywood is sold in 6, 9,12 and 18mm, is specially made using a waterresistant adhesive that is highly resistant to weather, micro-organisms, cold & boiling water, and wet or dry heat. Whilst this product is ideal for exterior joinery, it can also be used internally as it is suitable for painting. It can be used as a cladding material, and for insert panels under windows.
When used externally or in areas of high humidity, exterior grade plywood will require the use of paint or varnish to protect the outer veneer and all 4 edges.
Wickes Plywood is an excellent general purpose construction panel, ideal for both interior and exterior construction work as well as numerous uses where strength, stability and light-weight versatility is needed.
The natural properties of this product make it light, easy to work with, easy to saw and easy to nail giving you significant advantages when using Spruce plywood over many alternatives.
All of its natural advantages are brought together by a high quality manufacturing process to produce a consistently reliable panel that is fit for structural use with both CE "Structural 2+" and "BS5268-2:2002" accreditation.
All panels, as stated earlier, are CE "Structural 2+" and British Standard "BS5268-2:2002" and are certified to guarantee conformance with UK Building Regulations for wood based structural panels.
Note: As with all untreated plywood, when used in external applications it must be coated, edge-sealed and well maintained during its lifetime.
The reliability of Wickes Spruce Plywood is perfect for a wide variety of on and off site construction projects.
Use for:
Perfect for use as roof sarking, ceilings, beam systems and load bearing applications, lightweight Wickes Spruce Plywood is easy to install using normal carpentry tools and construction techniques. Both the square edge and tongue & grooved panels allow for quick and easy fitting of low maintenance roof structures.
The natural strengths of Wickes Spruce Plywood help make the job quicker and easier for you without compromising on quality or safety.
Wickes Spruce Plywood is a durable flooring material which is well suited as a substrate beneath various surfaces both in new constructions and renovation.
The smooth surface is an ideal base for wood flooring, carpeting or tiling and its strength and rigidity make it a good load bearing material for solid, strong floors.
With ever tightening government legislation on thermal and sound insulation, it's reassuring to know that the solid wood construction of Wickes Spruce Plywood provides naturally good sound and thermal insulation properties.
At the same time, its strength and light weight allow thinner than usual panels to be used for suspended floor structures without having any negative effect on the load-bearing properties of the floor structure at all.
With its excellent racking strength and wind break properties, Wickes Spruce Plywood makes a versatile wall material for both interior and exterior walls and load bearing structures and as previously mentioned, also have natural heat retention and noise insulation properties.
Easy to install by the DIY enthusiast or construction professional alike, Wickes Spruce Plywood is the best solution for all types of renovation, alteration, general repair work, upgrading or replacing floors and repairs to roof structures.
The lightweight nature of these panels combined with their inherent strength and durability makes for simple installation and finishing with conventional woodworking tools.
These strengths are particularly useful when dealing with difficult structures or where space is limited.
Wickes Spruce Plywood is suitable for use as a good all-round formwork panel due to its strength and durability.
A clean and safe raw material for packaging and transporting. Wickes Spruce Plywood can tolerate a wide range of weather conditions including extreme humidity. This makes it superbly suited to all kinds of packaging applications such as transport crates and pallets.
Its strength and lightweight characteristics make it ideal for highly protective and durable box construction with heavy-duty uses, whilst remaining easy to handle. Once its productive life is over, it can be easily recycled.
With both strength and lightweight properties, Wickes Spruce Plywood is ideally suited to the making of furniture. A major area of its use is within the manufacture of upholstery furniture, where it is used in conjunction with products such as chipboard to provide additional strength to the overall structure.
The current British Standards for specifying both veneer and core plywood are:
BS EN 636-1: 1997. Plywood-
Specifications. Part 1. Plywood for use in dry conditions

What is Chipboard: It is a high-density low cost rigid board with a relatively smooth surface. Made from wood chips and compressed sawdust, glued together with an adhesive, under heat and pressure. Whilst chipboard has many uses it is not suitable for external use.
Chipboard is an engineered panel product in which particles of wood are bonded together to form a panel. It is most commonly formed using a synthetic resin adhesive. It is made from softwood chips which are dried and mixed with an adhesive that is appropriate to the product's end-use. The chips are formed into a mat and are then pressed between heated platens to compress and cure the panel. The finishe panels are then sanded and cut to size.
When cutting chipboard a panel, circular or jigsaw should be used but these can sometime leave poor finish. A good idea, as with plywood, to apply a strip of masking tape to the surface and cut through that, this will reduce the amount of damage at the cut edge.
When cutting coated or veneered chipboard, apply the masking tape to the finished face, this will reduce chipping.
Nails, pins and screws may be used on chipboard, but they should always be fixed through the chipboard and into the support below.
Fixings should be no closer to the edge or corners than 10mm.
The screw-holding power is improved if twinthreaded general-purpose screws are used but always follow manufacturer's instructions when fixing special purpose boards.
When screwing through chipboard with a power driver, make sure it is on a low torque setting, or you will drive the screw through the board. A good idea is to stop short and finish with a hand driver.
Tip: When assembling bedroom, kitchen or any type of furniture, never use a power driver!
Any woodworking adhesive can be used with chipboard, although if it fails, the outer 'chips' separate from the rest of the board, so don't just rely on gluing to support heavy weight.
Use for: Flooring, shelving, wall and ceiling linings, cupboards, internal fittings and boxing in.
P4 - Flooring grade, tongue and grooved 18mm. The edge is profiled to form the tongue and groove (T&G) joints and has a fine sanded surface.
Use only in domestic areas that are not subject to wetting.
P4 - Loft storage panels 18mm.
Supplied in a size that is easily carried through a loft trap door, making them ideal for loft flooring.
P5 - Moisture resistant - flooring grade, tongue and grooved.
This grade can be used for all areas of domestic flooring including kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. It is load bearing and suitable for humid conditions.
Note: All grades of chipboard, except the P5 - moisture resistant variety, tend to soak up water.
Once water logged, chipboard will swell and breakdown, requiring replacement.
Tip: Chipboard with a melamine surface is widely used for flat-pack furniture and work surfaces/tops. If you are using this in an area that could become wet, always seal exposed surfaces and edges before installing - especially the hole cut into a worktop where the sink will go, and any exposed end pieces touching the floor.
The current British Standard for specifying particleboard is BS EN 312.
What is Hardboard: It is a dense, highly compressed wood fibre thin sheet material and is a cheaper option than plywood, where strength is not required.
Hardboard is made from wood fibre, this is extracted from chips and pulped waste wood and is produced by exploding pulp under pressure. Heat and steam is applies to leave a fine, fluffy brown fibres. The fibres are transformed into mats, which are then pressed at high temperarture to give a grainless sheet with a smooth surface on one side and a textured surface on the other.
Support the board on both sides of the cutting line. Use a fine tooth saw and cut into the face (shiny side) of the board, If you are cutting a coated board, first score along the cutting line using a sharp knife and straightedge, this will prevent the edges from chipping.
Hardboard can be fixed using hardboard pins, screws, nails or adhesives.
Fixings should be no closer to the edge or corners than 12mm.
The heads of hardboard pins are designed so that they 'disappear' into the surface after they have been hammered in.
Glue using a general-purpose impact adhesive or a woodworking PVA. It is a good idea to pin or cramp the sheet while the glue is setting. An adhesive only bonds to the top surface of hardboard, so don't just rely on gluing to support heavy weight.
Use for: Floor covering; draw bases, internal lining, boxing in, door facings and packaging.
Note: Hardboard should not be used outside as it absorbs water.
Tip: Hardboard is a very dry product and when used on floors, can ripple as it adsorbs moisture from the atmosphere, so if the board is to be used on a floor or for wall cladding, it is a good idea to condition with water before fixing in place. This is done by rubbing a little clean water into the rough side of the sheet, at about one litre per 2440 x 1220 x 3mm sheet. Then stack flat, wet side up, for about 48 – 72 hours in the building it is to be used. This will raise the sheet moisture content and allow it to dry back to the ambient moisture content. This process, if stacked flat, will also remove any undulations caused through storage, packaging or handling.
What is MDF: It is a very versatile product, suitable for many interior projects. It is made from wood fibres; dry bonded with synthetic resins and then compressed. This type of board is a uniform, strong, compact and stable material that is smooth on both surfaces and particularly even in thickness but it can't be used for outside work or exposed to rain.
MDF can be cut, screwed, glued, and profiled with normal woodworking tools but due to its high resin content, normal steel cutting tools will blunt quite quickly, so if much working is to be done, use carbide tools. MDF is supplied in a range of thickness and sizes, and is particularly suitable for painting, veneering and other forms of decoration.
Unlike plywood or chipboard, MDF is dense, flat, and very smooth, and because of this perfect smooth finish, it can be painted without preparation, resulting in a quality finish. It can also be varnished or stained.
MDF can be used instead of timber for virtually any internal woodworking project. It's smooth surface texture and lack of grain means it can be machined in all directions and to almost any shape, where ordinary timber would be difficult, making this product ideal for use with a router, this is why MDF is so widely used for mouldings and decorative trims.
MDF may be used instead of plywood or chipboard but whilst it is a dense, flat, rigid board, without knots, it is not as strong as timber so must be supported at regular intervals if weight is to be applied. MDF can be doweled, or jointed in a traditional manor and glued with PVA wood glue. Water or oil based paints and varnishes may be used.
Use for: Internal joinery and architectural mouldings i.e. door linings, skirting, architrave, dado rail etc. It can also be used for shop fitting, furniture and toys (it doesn't splinter).
MDF can have a tendency to split when screwed. Drill a small pilot hole first, this will reduce the chance of this happening.
Fixings should be no closer to the edge than 12mm or 25mm from corners.
Note: Always use breathing and eye protection. MDF creates a lot of dust when sanding or cutting, which can irritate the eyes and lungs. Proper ventilation is a must, and where available, use dust extractors on power tools. Preferably, do not work in confined spaces.
Tip: When painting or priming MDF, it is good idea to coat the whole of the product. You can use oil or wax finishes, but these are less effective at sealing.
The current British Standard for fibreboards is BS EN 622.

Just put the set of Avon Venoms on my 02 Shadow Sabre (1100) and with only a little riding so far, they do seem great. I'd say more confidence inspiring and cleaner in turns than the factory recommended tires. Ready to give them a good tryout on a 5 day ride coming up. Very happy with Jake Wilson products, prices and service to date.

I bought this tire last year with 37-plus K miles on my bike, I am now 1100 miles short of 60 K and still have usable tread, that's over 21,000 miles and still going. I also bought the Dyna Beads and put them in when I mounted the tire. All I can say is, "Great traction and ride in all weather conditions"... I live in Oregon so I know riding in rain.

A few days ago I came across an article written by Thomas Baekdal, "Measuring Results: Don't be Fooled By Math," that really got me thinking. And not just the usual "Hmm, this is interesting" type of thinking, but the "I'm five levels deep in the Matrix and I just bent a spoon with my mind" type of thinking. My mind was flooded with flashbacks of reports that still haunt my dreams; metrics so meaningless that I'm still not sure why the requests were made.
This caused me to analyze and ask questions about most of the activities I do on a daily basis as an analyst. After thinking about the differences between B2B, B2C, and e-commerce clients, I decided on the below three steps that will help uncover amazing insights for clients, regardless of the industry or who they are selling to.
So those are my main steps to uncovering insights that may be missed by just looking at the default metrics presented in your analytics tool. The process will take you a bit longer, but the reward is definitely worth the effort. The outcome should be sounder and better informed insights, produced by deeper data analysis, which will help increase sales, form submissions, or whatever your organization's KPI is.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Israel seeks clarification of U.S. stance on Iran's 'capability'
TEL AVIV -- A visit to Israel this week by the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, should help clarify two issues: the nature of Israeli-U.S. resolve to stop Iran's nuclear program; and, what exactly the U.S. perceives that program to be.
Questions about resolve were raised by an American-Israeli statement that an upcoming joint military exercise had been postponed to the second half of 2012.
Immediate speculation focused on the recent intensification of the "covert war" being waged by the West against Iran and Iran's sabre-rattling responses -- threatening to stop oil shipments from the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz and its announcement that it had started enriching uranium at a fortified facility.
The postponement might be a move in this cold war environment.
The reason, however, was less intriguing -- it was simply a budgetary matter.
Last week, the Netanyahu government adopted an ambitious education plan that grants free education to Israeli children beginning at the age of three.
To finance this plan, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut budgets across the board and notified Washington, which agreed to the "austerity challenge 12" and postponed the exercise.
Thus, Gen. Dempsey's visit is meant to reinforce the message that the U.S. and Israel share the same concern about Iran, military exercises notwithstanding.
It is that the closer Iran gets to its nuclear goals, and the more it demonstrates its willingness to confront the international community, the more the U.S. stands with Israel to confront it.
Dempsey's arrival also comes at a time when the U.S. and its allies need to craft a new strategic response to Iran's brinkmanship.
The opening of Iran's new uranium-enrichment facility in Qom confronts the U.S. and its allies with a critical decision: How far they are they to go in their efforts to limit Iran's nuclear ambitions?
Before coming to Israel, Dempsey was quoted as saying that he "does not know" if Israel would give the U.S. advance notice should it decide to militarily attack Iran alone.
That is baloney. Gen. Dempsey knows quite well not a single Israeli leader would contemplate such a move.
There is, however, one point that has must be clarified between Israel and the U.S.
In an interview with Face the Nation, U.S. Defence Secretary Leon Panetta made the following observation;
"Are they (the Iranians) trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No. But we know that they are trying to develop nuclear capability. That's what concerns us.
"Our Red Line to Iran is -- don't develop a nuclear weapon. This is Red Line for us."
By implication, Panetta's remark could mean the Americans make a distinction between "capability" and "production."
Israeli officials are certainly going to verify this point with Gen. Dempsey this week.

Home Health Roll-On Deodorant Herbal Scent -- 3 fl oz
The best natural deodorant I have found.
I live in Florida and play tennis in the humidity. The original scent works really well to hide a smelly armpit. For some reason, the unscented and jasmine do not work as well. After trying many different brands, I always come back to this one.
July 1, 2013
Works and smells great
I don't know why, but this is the only deodorant that actually works at keeping smell away, and I've tried many. The only downside is that if you apply too much there is a white film when it dries. The sent is light and "fresh". I have stopped trying other deodorants; this is the only one I buy now.
May 12, 2013
Roll-On Makes It Easy to Apply
One of the nice features of this Roll-On Deodorant is how
easy it is to apply. The herbal scent is light and not too
strong. What I find so impressive is that the product
is effective without any harmful chemicals. The price
is affordable for an all natural product.
March 20, 2013
Great Product and Very Effective
Our family has been using this product for many years. Love that it is natural and keeps you dry and protected all day.

That is why I suggested that to make it work for newsletters, the publishers would have to submit the content of the newsletter before delivering, maybe using some programatic interface (Web services) and Google would return the HTML tags of ads targetted according to the newsletter content.

Roger Ailes Thinks The New York Times Is Just Jealous
Last week, Fox News chief Roger Ailes came under fire for characteristically incendiary remarks he made about The New York Times ("cesspool of bias," "a bunch lying scum") and other media organizations during a lecture at Ohio University.
The event was woefully underreported, but an unnamed "senior Fox executive" told Howard Kurtz that Mr. Ailes thought he had gone too far in the lecture. He respects Jill Abramson, the source said, and thinks the Times has been fair under her. At that lecture, he was speaking exclusively about Russ Buettner, who reported that Mr. Ailes had pressured Judith Regan to lie to federal investigators about her relationship with Bernie Kerik.
The full transcript of Mr. Ailes's May 21 lecture at Ohio University is now online (via Romenesko), and it reveals plenty more original Times commentary. Mr. Ailes said former executive editor Bill Keller was fired for publishing biased news (it went down a little differently in the Ken Auletta version) and that Mr. Keller's stated opinion of Fox News amounts to sour grapes because the newspaper industry is dying and Fox is thriving. He also said that the two of them are getting a drink.
[UPDATE: That rendez-vous hasn't happened...yet. Mr. Keller told The Observer in an e-mail: "After my column identifying Fox as a satanist front, he sent me a light-hearted email. I offered to buy him a drink. He hasn't taken me up on it yet. Stay tuned."
Below, an excerpt of his conversation with moderator Andy Alexander.

When the accused editor has already left ODP, as in this case, the investigation rather tends to lose impetus. Meta editors are volunteers too you know and mainly apply their efforts to what they perceive to be high priority activities. If this case hasn't been resolved before then, I know that it will regain speed if the editor concerned ever requests reinstatement. I note that your website was listed in the category on the same day that you raised your abuse report; that's not a coincidence. Right now, it's returning SQL errors when I attempt to browse it from IE6 or Firefox. I suggest that you get it fixed fast before some editor notices :). Had you thought of becoming an editor yourself? You clearly know a lot about the topic and will probably be able to maintain and grow it quite well.
The ultimate sanction that meta editors have against proven abusive editors is to remove their accounts.

While the results fell short of expectations, the Muskogee Lady Roughers recorded three top-8 performances in the Class 6A state meet at Yukon High School on Friday.
MHS coach Angie Hillmon hoped for better finishes but knows the future is brighter for the experienced gained.
"We did well." she said. "We didn't do as well as I liked but I'm happy with our performance. We were running with younger girls that didn't have the experience."
In the 200-meter dash, Xandrea Maxwell recorded a fourth-place finish with a time of 25.3 seconds while teammate LaShai Nunley finished seventh at 25.55. That marks the first time two runners under Hillmon's tutelage have qualified for the finals in that event.
The girls 800 relay team came in seventh with a time of 1:45.83. The squad consisted of Myangel Thomas running leadoff, Zamaree McNac going second, Nunley on the third leg and Maxwell running anchor.
Nunley, a senior along with Maxwell, knows that if there's one thing that she can pass on to the younger girls, its never quit on effort.
"Work hard in practice and stay positive," Nunley said. "Just keep doing what you do."
In 5A action, the Tahlequah boys and girls both recorded eighth-place finishes in the team standings. The boys finished 22 points and the girls with 26. Deer Creek won both the boys and girls championships.
Jessica Hembree picked up where she left off on Friday, recording a fifth-place finish in the 1,600 with a time of 5:33.84 while Gracie Medellin was right behind her in sixth at 5:40.14. Alli George was sixth in the long jump with a leap of 16 feet, 5 1/4 inches while Hannah Miller was eighth in the 800 with a time of 2:29.44. In relays, the Lady Tigers finished sixth in the 800 at 1:46.39 and eighth in the 1,600 with a time of 4:17.61.
For the boys team, Sylas Sloan and Logan Cook went 3-4 in the discus with Sloan's best toss at 152-04 while Cook came in at 151-10. Zech VanFleet recorded a fifth-place finish in the 1,600, crossing the line at 4:39.34.
Also in Class 5A, three Wagoner Bulldogs finished in the top eight in their events with Lateze Clayton coming in second in the discus at 152-05. Decarius Clark finished sixth in the 300 hurdles at 41.16 and Desean Clark was eighth in the 110 hurdles with a time of 17.34 .
