Best Uses
Set up in my basement to check floor level around perimeter. Worked perfectly. Just what I needed.
Best Uses
This laser works great. Used it for 2 concrete jobs and an excavating job. Great to mark posts during pole barn construction. The case is the only bad part, broke it the first day. Poor design as things do not fit well in the case. The plastic bracket for the reciever is also cinsy and will be a problem in the future. Over all a good unit for the money!
Best Uses
I looked everywhere, used and new and settled on this unit. I bought refurbished, it arrived absolutely perfect. I have used it for a couple of major projects and it has proven rock solid.
This is a high end DIY or a entry grade professional but it is great.

Comments about LM30 Wizard Horizontal / Vertical Dual Beam Rotary Laser Package:
I purchased this laser to level foundations for a block fencing project and other DIY projects. I didn't want to pay someone else to do it. After researching several different lasers, I settled on this package mainly due to the features and price. Especially with everything that is included. It is very easy to set up and operate. Having used it now on a couple of projects, I have no complaints. We will have to wait until a lot more use to see how well it holds up. The only negative (if you can call it that) is that it does not come with a case for the the grade rod and tripod. A case for these would make storage and transportation much easier and safer.

Comments about LM30 Wizard Horizontal / Vertical Dual Beam Rotary Laser Package:
I love this laser, I dont like "self leveling" lasers (I fix old houses, some as old as 1740, including my own house built 1742) These houses are NEVER level or straight, but when I remodel I can level things to match the floor and ceilings. Also great for cutting carpet, plumbing, great for drywall and of coarse any digging you do. I can find a reason to use this almost every day. I think the only thing I could say is a bit frustrating would be the tripod set-up. It is a bit cumbersome setting up the legs and can get a bit frustrating when trying to set up on an uneven area.

Well, what do you know, looks like everyone's favorite smartphone game, Angry Birds, is heading to Hollywood after all.
You're most likely aware of this famous birds-and-pigs entertainment franchise that has become a cultural phenomenon and turned Finnish developer Rovio Mobile into one of the hottest creative properties around.
On Friday, Rovio surprised fans with a tweet announcing Angry Birds Rio, a cooperation between 20th Century Fox and Helsinki-based developers:
Rovio and Twentieth Century Fox present: Angry Birds Rio - coming to app stores everywhere in March!
The game, already in development for months, is a spin-off of Angry Birds and will pack in 45 brand new levels featuring physics-based demolition challenges and unique twists tied nicely into "Rio", the upcoming motion picture from the studio that brought you "Ice Age," scheduled for the summer release in theaters.
Rovio insists Angry Birds Rio will be another great Angry Birds game, not a movie game disaster. The game will be released on smartphones and tablets and will feature regular updates that will bring new content in the future. Note that Angry Birds Rio is not yet a rumored Angry Birds movie you've been waiting for or an animated series Rovio confirmed it has been working on.
Angry Birds was downloaded over 50 million times on various smartphone platforms in 2010, Rovio said. The game has recently become available on Windows and Mac desktops as well. Check out the official game trailer accompanying the announcement and dare telling me you won't be playing Angry Birds Rio as soon as it comes out.
A feature animated movie, "Rio" follows the story of Blu, a domesticated macaw from small-town Minnesota who embarks on an adventure to Rio de Janeiro with Jewel, the fiercely independent bird of his dreams. Based on a screenplay by Don Rhymer and directed by Carlos Saldanha, Rio employs the voice talents of Will i Am, Jammie Foxx, Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg and others. Check out the official movie theatrical trailer right below.
Thanks for reading BSN*

Every day after skiing we offer a choice of 2-3 free activities between 4-6 pm and every evening our private pro-level trampoline is open from 7:45 pm until 9:15 pm. In Sessions 3, 4 and 5 we take a day off from the mountain on Day 4, to let your body have some rest and recovery. On that day we run additional activities in the valley. If you opt for the Skiing-Only package with no hotel and food then you also have the option to add on the Activities Package.
Water Ramps
Waterramping is an important part of our coaching program. This is the SAFE way to perfect your aerial skills before trying tricks on snow. We have sessions scheduled on most afternoons and the day off, which are always supervised by a CFSA certified Aerial coach to help you get the tough tricks figured out before you try them on snow. We supply the wetsuits and skis, all you need to bring is your helmet and ski boots. If you normally use skis shorter than 140 cm, you may need to bring your own. Your snow skis should work fine.
We have a variety of Trampoline facilities to use – our own 2 string Pro Trampoline located at our Hotel which is open every night, 2 inbed trampolines at the water ramps, sessions at the Olympic Athlete Training Facility (see video) with multiple trampolines, mini tramp, foam pit and and fun sessions at Bounce. We always have a certified trampoline coach on hand to help you work on the technical tricks safely. Building these skills will help you gain air sense and progress your new tricks faster to snow.
Mountain Biking
Whistler is now regarded as the #1 Mountain Biking destination in the world, and we take full advantage. Whistler has some of the world's best single track riding. We'll supply you with a Cross Country Mountain Bike and all the safety gear. A guided session in the Whistler Downhill bike park can also be arranged (extra cost).
Monkido Aerial Adventure
The Monkido aerial adventure tree to tree courses are elevated obstacle courses set in a beautiful Douglas Fir forest and securely suspended between the trees at 10 to 60 feet off the ground! This self-managed system allows you to move independently through a series of surprising and progressively challenging tree to tree elements, including zip lines, suspended bridges, scramble nets and swinging logs. We do this fun activity on the Day off snow.
Try wakeboarding or wake surfing on beautiful Green Lake with WakeLife. They supply all the gear so all you need to bring is your courage.
Paintball has always been one of the most popular day-off activities at camp. Whistler Paintball has several playing fields deep in the forest and supplies camo gear and semi-automatic paintball guns. If you've got a loose trigger finger make sure you bring a few extra bucks to load up on paint.
The Core Climbing Gym
Steps away from our Hotel, The Core Gym has an amazing 5620 square-foot indoor rock climbing wall. Find your own challenges, then conquer them – from easy kid-friendly routes to crack climbing, steep overhangs or tricky slab climbing. This is the place to build your confidence and learn a new skill!
The Lakes
There are 5 beautiful lakes in the Whistler Valley which are perfect for cooling off in on a hot day. Lost Lake is a favorite and it's only a 15 minute walk or 3 minute free bus ride from the hotel.
Soccer is a great way to get to know the other campers and coaches, many of whom are passionate players!
For all the Skateboarders, In-Liners and BMXers out there, Whistler has a world-class skatepark less than a 5 minute walk from our hotel. The park features a bowl section, 1/4 pipes, rails, spines, and transitions of every kind. Helmets mandatory as we don't want concussions keeping you away from skiing!
Disc Golf
Whistler has 2 Disc Golf courses — a pro length course and a fun course in the woods near our hotel. We usually play a couple of times a week on the fun course, but are always ready to entertain on the pro course if anyone is up to it.
Park Awards Party
On the last evening of each session we have a pizza party at one of the local parks, along with the famed 'Skoakley Challenge', Skits, Prize Giving and Awards Ceremony.
Brain Surgery
It's not as scary as it sounds. Two-time Olympian and Camp Director John Smart leads a mental training seminar that is designed to give you the mental edge when it comes to competition and performance. If you are serious about winning and performing at your best this is a must.
Air Bag (Acrobag) – On Hill
Located on hill the airbags are our best tools for safely training all levels of inverted maneuvers in bumps, park or pipe. The real snow take off makes the training much more realistic when it comes to transitioning from tramp to waterramp to snow and CFSA is now allowing qualifications to take place on the airbag, not just on the waterramp.
Kayak or canoe the beautiful River of Golden Dreams, from Alta Lake to Green Lake through a pristine wetland.
Enjoy some of the spectacular scenery around Whistler with hikes to local lakes and waterfalls.
Yoga and Massage
Relax your muscles during our optional yoga sessions or book a private massage in your hotel suite (extra cost).
Trampolines, Foam pits and much more! This place is a ton of fun!
In addition to many of the above activities we also offer our adults…
Bungy Jumping
Whistler Bungy. Feel the exhilaration of jumping from a 160ft ( 53 meter ) bridge spanning 300 ft over the glacial fed Cheakamus river!
Kitesurfing (optional extra)
Located at the Squamish Spit, 40 min south of Whistler. Open to beginners and advanced kiters (transport to Squamish included but rentals and lessons extra).

Girl Scout banned from selling cookies on YouTube
I've always been a little suspicious of the Scout movement.
The uniforms. The slightly too correct and frightfully ancient hairstyles of some of the senior members. The Scout Promise that gets boys to promise: "To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." And gets every girl to declare she will: "respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout."
Now these strangely clothed beings have gone a little too far. They have trampled upon Wild Freeborn.

(Updated 3/22/2007): I based the following post from a communications I received from someone who claimed to be from KNHC, unfortunately I did not save their information, frankly I was in a bit of a state of shock at the time.
I have not been able to confirm this death from any 3rd party, nor have I been able to determine if Larry is still alive. If this was a hoax on someone's part it is a terrible cruel hoax. If anybody knows the status with certainty, please contact me.
I learned over the weekend that Larry Adams passed away.
Larry Adams was the original founder of KNHC 89.5 FM radio at Nathan Hale high school. He was one of two instructors of the radio and electronics class and he is a man who has influenced my life greatly.
I'll admit that I didn't like him at first, he seemed terribly serious and stern. Only towards the end of my time at Nathan Hale did I come to realize what he had done for me and so many others.
He is a very good man and the world will miss him.

I just finished reading Jeannette Walls' "The Silver Star," which, like her "Glass Castle" memoir, reminds us that we're not such bad parents after all.
Just when you think you're the worst parent ever because you called your 9-year-old a rotten little brat, remind yourself that you could have abandoned your children, leading them to travel across the country alone to find someone who'd be willing to taken them in. Have you done anything like that lately? Me neither. We're all doing just fine.

St Patrick
Last Updated: 11 Dec 2008
Saint Patrick - Ireland's Patron Saint
Some studies suggest that St. Patrick's real name was Maewyn Succat and that he was born at the end of the fourth century on the island of Britain (possibly Wales or Scotland). At the age of sixteen he was kidnapped by a band of pirates, and sold into slavery in Ireland, where he worked as a shepherd. After six long years of slavery he escaped to the northern coast of Gaul (modern France) where he began studies to become a priest. Here he took on the name Patrick (Patricus). According to legend, Patrick had recurrent dreams, which he interpreted as a calling from God to convert the pagans of Ireland to Christianity.
In about 432 AD, Patrick arrived in Ireland, where he used the shamrock, which resembles a three-leafed clover, to help explain the concept of the Holy Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit). On one occasion, Patrick defied the High King of Ireland, by lighting a fire on top of a hill at Tara, the ancient capital of Ireland, before the High King himself. This was on the Celtic feast of Bealtaine, when tradition dictated that the High King would light the first fire, from which all others would be lit. Patrick's fire seemed to have magical powers and proved to the High King that Patrick's God was more powerful than the God's of the Druids.
Patrick travelled throughout Ireland, establishing monasteries and setting up schools and churches to aid in converting the Irish country to Christianity. Legend tells us that Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland, by forcing them into the sea where they drowned. There are no snakes in Ireland today (except in zoos).
Patrick preached in Ireland for thirty years. He ended his mission in County Down and where he died on 17th March in 461 AD. That day has been commemorated as St. Patrick's Day ever since.
The main
St. Patrick's Day festival
is held in Dublin, but St. Patrick's Day is celebrated throughout the world by Irish people and friends of Ireland. St. Patrick's Day parades take place in New York, Moscow, Munich, Vienna and many other cities throughout the world.

Culottes. Bet that is a word that you haven't read in a while. And, perhaps more pertinently, culottes are something that you probably haven't worn . . . well, I'd say "in a while," but more likely, "ever before in your life." Yet here they are at The Row, the gets-better-by-the-minute label designed by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, in a soft shade of coral, with a matching collarless jacket, its nipped waist—a recurring look of their pre-fall silhouette, incidentally—emphasized by a metal-tipped thong belt. I don't claim any mystical abilities, but I'd hazard a guess that if the Olsens are thinking that it's time for a culottes revival, you can bet that others—maybe even you—will be feeling the same way pretty soon.
After all, let's consider pajama dressing, beaded flapper dresses, discreet Manolo Blahnik kitten heels . . . . The track record of these two demonstrates an uncanny ability to divine what might be fun/cool/interesting/desirable to wear at a given moment, and then watch while said look/idea/trend slowly wends its way into women's wardrobes. Other ideas that were at The Row pre-fall and which are likely to appear in closets soon: turtleneck sweaters (theirs are in leather), velvet (love the skinny pantsuit in a gorgeous shade of brick red, worn with a patchwork fox stole) and a groovily casual way with evening (a scoop-necked white tee with metal-embroidered midnight-blue velvet pants).
As of now, there aren't that many other designers or brands—Phoebe Philo at Céline immediately springs to mind, of course—who so easily and intimately grasp how women want to dress in all of their subtleties and nuances. The Olsens share the same enviable understanding of what fashion can be when it's at its best, which is in essence this: Treat the incredibly luxurious with a sense of playfulness, and elevate the everyday with a deadly seriousness. Out of this comes really great clothes, and more recently, brilliant accessories (the newest: a crocodile bucket bag). And if you're culottes-clad later this year . . . you'll know who was there first.

2.0 starson by choochoo22Pros: Compact with nice styling. They finally put guest networking in the web interface. The USB port supports NTFS so media files larger than 4GB are OK.
Cons: Unable to stream media 50' through wood walls. Weaker signal at the far end of my house than with an E3000 under the same conditions. Modern high-end router should have USB3 port & printer support. Hot. Not wallmountable. Activity lights not visible.
Summary: Real world experience with a Cisco E3000, E4200, and Netgear XAVNB2001:
The objective was to provide wi-fi coverage for an iPad & iPod throughout our home and take the opportunity to connect the TV in our living room to the router in the office for media streaming and internet access. I purchased a Linksys/Cisco E3000 and Samsung TV wi-fi adapter for this purpose. The E3000 worked fine for the iPods since our DSL is so slow anyway but the signal to the TV was weak and too slow to stream media at a distance of about 50' through wooden walls and a floor.
I was concerned and somewhat confused about CNET's conclusion that the E3000 lacked the "Power" to stream HD from the attached USB storage. I wanted to be sure the problem wasn't the USB. Transferring files from a nearby computer through a gigabit wire, the Resource Manager measured 55 Mbps writing and 45 Mbps reading. While far from a gigabit, it successfully handled two HD, or one HD and two SD streams simultaneously so I am still confused about what CNET found lacking.
To confirm the bottleneck was wi-fi range, I moved the E3000 with disk to the living room and played files from the attached disk. Having no means to measure the bitrate, HD played perfectly both with a wired connection and wi-fi so the hardware was up to the task at close range. More wi-fi range was needed.
Relying on CNET's review showing greater range and speed, I purchased an E4200. This was very disappointing. The E4200 signal strength was consistently 1 "bar" lower than the E3000 under the same conditions even after moving it around. The 5 GHz band was so weak it intermittently disappeared. Apparently a wired connection was needed to get the signal to the living room.
I purchased a Netgear XAVNB2001 powerline kit with a wi-fi port at the far end. With a cable connecting the TV to the XAVN2001 and streaming through the powerline from the computer, the Resource Monitor measured 10 Mbps, not quite enough for the 12 Mbps file and far short of the 56.2 Mbps measured by CNET. Connecting the TV to the XAVN2001 through the wi-fi link was substantially slower even at a 3' range which suggests that the wi-fi capability of the XAVN2001 is inadequate for HD regardless of the powerline bitrate. The XAVN2001 w/wi-fi connection did not seem any faster than the weak E3000 signal 47' further away.
At this point I gave up throwing money and time at this project. Everything but the E3000 for the iPad is being returned and a media connection for the TV will have to wait for better working products.
As a personal observation; it is ludicrous that real world and even lab tests of networking products fall VASTLY short of specs and everyone just accepts that. What happened to truth in advertising? If the XAVNB2001 for example, had performed at just 10% of its rated 200 Mbps it would have worked fine. Suppose you bought a car rated at 30 MPG and it got less than 3 MPG? Would you accept that? The box advertising on all of these products said they were designed to do exactly what they all failed to do.

The e3000 and e4200 have identical hardware. Both have Broadcom BCM4718@480mhz....The e4200 does have more ram(16mb vs 8mb), but that is only because of the extra features the ui provides.
The e3000 and e4200v1 suport ddwrt and tomatoUSB, which I highly recommend, as these firmware allow you to force the router to stay on a certain channel in 40mhz bandwidth mode....stock firmware is regualted by the fcc to forcefully drop back to 20mhz mode if it detects other networks...this auto adjusting is what causes many peoples wifi issues like dropping connection for short times. Depends on the clients wifi card...some wont drop connection if the channel or mode changes, but most do. -
Something folks complaining about range issues need to remember:
2.4ghz will have longer range than 5ghz inside structures because the lower speed bands have greater penetration than higher end bands while the higher bands provide more speed. Use 5ghz for short range/unobstructed wireless and 2.4ghz for longer range connections. Honestly unless you're on a T3 or better connection you aren't going to notice any speed difference between a 2.4ghz and 5ghz connection since your cable modem (which is what most people use) is slower than 2.4ghz wireless G connections can already give you. The modem runs at around 5-15mbps while your G connection is up to 54mbps so your internet connection is the bottleneck. -
Not sure what you did wrong, but I bought this router because of the reviews that it's easy to set-up. I'm pretty savvy with computers, but not so much with wireless networking. I found this really easy to set up. It's installed in a back room of my house, and a TV, XBox360, and PS3 in the front of the house (about 60-70 feet away with two walls in between) are receiving clear, strong signals.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield was born in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, on August 29, 1959. As a boy, Hadfield dreamed of becoming an astronaut, and since 1992, he has been an integral part of both the Canadian and American space programs. In December 2012, he embarked on a five-month stay in space, where his Twitter posts about life aboard the International Space Station made him a celebrity.
"To be able to command the space station, yes, it's professional, and yes, I'll take it seriously, and yes, it's important for Canada, but for me, as just a Canadian kid, it makes me want to shout and laugh and do cartwheels."
"It smelled of just wind in the grass. The smell of spring."
[On what it was like to first open the spacecraft hatch on Earth after a five-month stay at the International Space Station.]
Early Years
Colonel Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian astronaut to live aboard the International Space Station, was born on August 29, 1959, in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Raised on a farm, Hadfield developed an early taste for adventure, and by his teens, he was already an accomplished skier.
But flying was Hadfield's true passion. At the age of 15, the young Air Cadet won a glider pilot scholarship. He dreamed even then of becoming an astronaut, but his native Canada offered no astronaut program to pursue.
Instead, Hadfield joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1978, spending two years at Royal Roads Military College in Victoria, British Columbia. He followed that up with two more years at Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, where he earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1982.
Through it all, Hadfield's passion for flying never left him. Throughout much of the 1980s, he trained and worked as a fighter pilot for both Canadian and American forces. This period included training at the United States Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California, as well as performing research work with NASA.
Pioneering Canadian Astronaut
By the early 1990s, Chris Hadfield had flown more than 70 different kinds of aircraft andearned a name for himself—within military circles, at least—in both Canada and the United States.
With his home country eager to jump-start a new astronaut program, Hadfield was chosen from 5,330 applicants to become one of four new Canadian astronauts in June 1992. Stationed at NASA's Johnson Space Agency in Houston, Texas, by the Canadian Space Agency, Hadfield quickly became an integral member of both countries' space programs.
Over the next two decades, Hadfield donned a number of different hats, from serving as the voice of mission control to astronauts in space, to working support for shuttle launches at Florida's Kennedy Space Center and serving as director of operations for NASA at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, Russia. Beginning in 2006, Hadfield served for two years as chief of International Space Station Operations at the Johnson Space Center.
In addition to his work on the ground, Hadfield was part of several space missions, including an 11-day assignment at the International Space Station in 2001—his first trip to the station, where he became the first Canadian to leave a spacecraft and freely float in space.
Global Star
In December 2012, Hadfield embarked on the most challenging mission of his life: Along with two other astronauts, he departed on a Russian spacecraft for a five-month stay at the International Space Station.

Recent ASU graduate (and Asheville High alumna) Janelle Wienke learned about the project when it was offered as a special course for credit; by that time, faculty advisers Jamie Russell, Chad Everhart and Jason Miller (all from the school's Department of Technology and Environmental Design) had already begun enlisting student energy and talent for a competition entry.

Anything Can Go To Zero
We have seen this type of demise before with the "safest" of names like Fannie Mae and stocks that probably never should have gone public like Pets.com. I think most people remember how revered Fannie and Freddie once were. Another one from the revered category was Cendant which may not be as familiar. There was a stretch in the mid 90s where Cendant was very popular as a staple holding for a lot of investment advisors (talking long before it blew up).
Fannie and Freddie were reasonably placed on the same pedestal as Coca Cola (KO) and client holding Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). Sprint too and many others that one way or another failed (either literally or effectively) were very highly regarded. How about the entire US auto industry? The carnage there has been epic.
If we did some sort of poll and built a portfolio of the 20 safest names to hold for the next ten years, like so many magazines are fond of doing, it would be a very good bet that at least a couple of them would disappear.
This is not to say that predicting a failure at Pepsi or Honeywell would be anything but a lucky guess but that is the point. Any stock can go to zero. Apple could disappear. Again, not a prediction as there is no visibility for any of these to fail but it happens and often there is no warning--at some point starting in 2003 there may have been visibility at Fannie and Freddie as Freddie got into some trouble over accounting issues.
If you can accept that anything can fail then the issue of position sizing becomes critical. This has been covered here many times in terms of targeting individual stocks at 2-3% of the portfolio as many others go with larger weightings for their holdings. Getting caught in something that fails is not the worst thing that can happen to an investor because it can happen to any company. It is bad to get caught with 10% of the portfolio in something that fails and this happens. Based on experience working at brokerage firms, anytime there is a spectacular one day implosion in some stock there are invariably investors with only that stock in their portfolios and they own it on margin.
An extreme example but it makes the point.

In my investing I try to keep a single position below 5%, but more importantly I have (informal) maximum weightings on sectors, countries, and brokerages. This last part seemed stupid until MF Global came along.
I worked at Lucent in the late 90's, and many coworkers there had significant percentages of LU in their 401k's. That was a great investment until 2000, resulting in 7-figure retirement accounts becoming 5-figure retirements combined with layoffs in just a year. Only two people I knew sold in time.

I worked at Eastman Kodak starting in 1971 when Kodak was at the pinnacle of its dominance. Shortly after joining the company a Merrill Lynch broker convinced me to purchase Kodak ON MARGIN at $150 per share. Everyone I knew in Rochester owned as much Kodak as possible since it was an American institution.
Kodak never saw $150 again and now it is gone. People in Rochester are still stunned even today... - 8:00 AM

Why did I never hear about the Fannie Mae debockle. With companies being public and in such a limelight of their success, who thinks its ok to possibly fudge accounting? Logic is lost somewhere.

This column brings mega-blue chip GE to mind. It was around $40/share pre-2008/09 crash, got to as low as around $5/share; and currently trades in the $19-$20 range. Wish I had loaded up at $5, but you never know when that knife is going to hit bottom.

Interesting, I hadn't even noticed Sprint. They were supposed to get SO profitable when they bought Nextel, 'cause Nextel had the highest margins and best customer loyalty in the industry.

Add Wachovia and AIG to the mix. The CEO's stated publically that all was well...and then poof (although AIG is still in business). They lied to everyone. What type of system is this. Is this what free-enterprise and capitalism really means?

Position sizing is critical to portfolio risk management. I agree with your 5% individual stock limit. I use a 15% limit for any one ETF and 25% for any industry, although I would seldom approach the 15 or 25% limits.
I have written an article titled " The Art of Position Sizing to Manage Money and Risk" for anyone interested at:

Murk boys Oscar Gaetan and Ralph Falcon were hyped more on respect than sales figures before they broke out of the American dance mainstream with two of the biggest hits of 1996-97, "Fired Up!" and "The Way" by Funky Green Dogs. Gaetan and Falcon had been producing for their own Murk Recordings since the early '90s, and had earned club-play with hits by Liberty City ("Some Lovin'," "If You Love Someone") and remixes of Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, the Beloved and RuPaul, among others. After recording a Liberty City LP beginning in 1995, the pair turned around and released it as Funky Green Dogs, an alias which had graced only one of their previous recordings. The trailer single "Fired Up!" became a big hit on dancefloors (and charts) with remixes by Danny Tenaglia. After the album Get Fired Up appeared in late 1996, second single "The Way" hit number one on the dance charts. The duo added new vocalist Tamara, a native of the Bahamas, for their second album Star. [See Also: Murk] ~ John Bush

"He's made a few 3s throughout the season," Sequoyah coach Jay Herrin said of his 6-foot-2 junior forward. "No, he's not our main 3-point shooter, but he was open, and when you're open, you're supposed to shoot the ball. That's what he did."
Tucker's trey from the right corner in the third quarter was one of nine Class 3A No. 8 Sequoyah made in its 73-65 beatdown of No. 5 Sperry in the opening round of the Class 3A state tournament at Yukon High School.
Playing in front of a spirited crowd of more than 1,000, the Indians (20-8) advanced to semifinals where they'll take on No. 2 Okemah today at 10:30 a.m. at State Fair Arena in Oklahoma City.
Sequoyah — making its first appearance in the state tournament since 2010 — was able to reach the final four in 3A thanks to a game-changing run in the first quarter. The Indians, after falling behind 12-4 at the midway mark of the opening quarter, went on a blitzkrieg for 18 straight points before Sperry's Logan Mullins dropped in a layup at the 6:22 mark of the second quarter.
"I just tried to remind them of what we were trying to do coming in," said Herrin, whose team rallied from another sizable deficit after overcoming an 18-point hole to beat No. 1 Centennial in the Area I finals last week.
"We had a game plan, and I didn't feel we were following it. I just tried to redirect their attention to what we, as a coaching staff, want our kids to do. Once they started doing those things, we started playing a little better."
Sequoyah took its lead for good on T.J. Jones' layup with 33 seconds left in the opening quarter. Jones scored 11 of his 14 points in the first half, while the Indians had Niko Hammer, B.J. Leach and Zach Parish all sitting on the bench with two fouls.
Ryan Helsley was Jones' sidekick in the second quarter, tallying 10 of his game-high 18 points to help the Indians outscore Sperry 23-11 in the quarter.
Sperry (23-5) also fell behind because shots stopped falling. The Pirates — staring at a 40-26 deficit at the half — went 8 of 28 from the field, coupled with 10 turnovers, in the opening half.
"We just didn't hit any shots early in the game," said Sperry coach Lance Kight, whose team lost in first round of the state tournament for the second straight year. "We had to play catch-up all night long."
That they did.
The Pirates — who were 22 of 64 from the field and 10 of 20 from the free-throw line in the game — put together a mini run and scored five unanswered points to open the third quarter to pull within 40-31. But Hammer came to life for the Indians and went on a 5-0 run himself to bump Sequoyah's lead back up to 14.
"In the first half, we just weren't able to control our emotions because we were so amped up," Herrin said. "The second half I thought we did a better job [of that]. Niko is a prime example. He had a look in his eye like he wanted to fight after he got his second foul in the first half, so I just wanted him to calm down and make the plays that he can make."
Hammer's offensive explosion included a running jumper from free-throw line and a 3-pointer from the top of the key.
"I just knew I had to come out and play good," said Hammer, a 5-10 guard. "As a senior, I knew I had to step up and be a leader. I just wanted to win really bad, so I came out tried really hard and did my best."
It gave the Indians a jolt that would allow them to maintain their double-digit lead until Sperry's Wyatt Brooks banked in a 3-pointer to pull the Pirates to within 52-44 at the end of third quarter.
Sequoyah, though, would reclaim its double-digit advantage in the fourth quarter, thanks in large to Casey Cole fouling out with 4:44 left in the game. To add insult to injury, Cole fouled out as Leach scored and converted an old-fashioned 3-point play to extend the Indians' lead to 66-49.
"When Cole comes off the floor, we're not the same team," Kight said of losing his 6-6 junior forward who had 12 points and eight rebounds before heading to the bench for good. "It takes our size away. He picked up his fourth foul (in the third quarter), and we never could recover."
With Cole out, Sperry's only source of offense was Blake Teel hoisting up 3-pointers nearly halfway between the 3-point arc and the midcourt line. Needless to say, that was a failure for the Pirates, who were led by Javi Cazarez's 13 points.
After both benches were emptied with a minute left, Sperry performed cosmetic work on the final score and turned a blowout into what appeared to be a tight ball game.
Regardless, Sequoyah improved to 13-9 in state tournament games and advanced to the semifinals — where they lost to Millwood in 2010.
Still, though, the Indians are a confident bunch after now having won five straight games.
"We're 5-0 in the playoffs, and if you go 7-0 you bring home the gold ball," Herrin said. "My kids are just trying to take it one step at a time, and I feel like anyone can win this tournament. If we're playing well and shooting the ball well, we're going to have a chance."
