Birch-like warmth and maple-like attack with the gorgeous look of oak!
This Yamaha Oak Custom 6-Piece drum shell pack includes a 22" x 17" kick drum; 8" x 7", 10" x 8", and 12" x 9" mounted toms; and 14" x 14" and 16" x 16" floor toms.
The Yamaha Oak Custom drums follow in the footsteps of the Yamaha birch, maple, and beech drum series since oak is also a solid fundamental as drum shell material. Oak offers excellent qualities that deliver powerful sound while its character allows for a unique shell-size lineup. Beautifully grained, this hardwood creates a Yamaha drum with stunning looks and excellent tone. The kick drum shell is 7-ply while the toms and floor tom shells are 6-ply.
Air Seal System for Superior Shells
The use of the Air Seal System is in part responsible for the superior quality found in Yamaha drum shells. Select woods are cut into plies, positioned with staggered diagonal seams, and sealed together with evenly distributed air pressure. The resulting drum shells are perfectly spherical and of uniform thickness delivering superior tone quality and exceptional durability.
Oak Drum Shells are Universal Sizes
The Oak Custom shell depths are sized in-between Yamaha's jazz-depth and power-depth drums. The universal drum size allows for maximum projection while maintaining strong attack. The added depth enhances the oak tone with greater bottom end and more power.
Small Lugs
These uniquely designed, small, oval-shaped lugs are easily attached to the shell with a single bolt. Small footprints offer minimum lug-to-shell contact allowing the shell to deliver maximum tone. A special nylon insert prevents tension rods from becoming loose during play.
Kick Drum Spurs
A sturdy hexagonal design and fixed angle position allow Yamaha's spurs to withstand kick drum kicks. Height adjustment and the releasing and retracting of the pointed spur are made easy with a drum key.
Mounted Toms and Floor Toms Equipped with YESS Mounts
Long found on Yamaha's high-end drum kits, the original YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) mounting system is used on all Oak Custom toms and floor toms. This rod clamp system allows attachment of the drum to the tom holder without the need of a hole in the drum shell for the rod to pass through. The YESS clamp is attached to the shell at the nodal point with 2 bolts so as to allow the shell to vibrate freely without degrading the shell's dynamic range and sustain. The nodal point is the location on a drum shell with the least amount of vibration allowing for the mount to have minimal effect on the resonance of the Yamaha drum.
Ball Clamp & Triple Tom Holder
This round ball clamp is made of super-hard resin. The ball is held firmly in place with a steel plate and large wing bolt. While providing ease of operation, this system also delivers total freedom in positioning with superior stability.
Cymbals, hardware, and snare not included.
Oak Customs provide the power to cut through loud mixes.

Pours a deep ruby color with a nice creamy,sticky head that leaves waves of lace down my brandy snifter,aromas are all Belgian some sour cherry and malt vinegar with a touch of funk hits right on.Now I got alot more sweetness than expected in this brew,a kinda sweet/spicey mix that coats ur mouth with only a touch of sourness in the finish wich was unexpected.I picked up some cherry stone and iron notes a little more as I drank but this seems to stay more on the sweeter side for the style,true to the style not sure, but worth a try its a quality brew.

Appearance: A dark ruby-brownish pour. Thin tan head.
Smell: A very fruity and sour nose. Ripe grape is prominent and there is also a hint of balsamic vinegar.
Taste: The taste here is much sweeter and more mild then the nose might suggest. A nice cherry sweetness creeps through and balances nicely with the tart nose.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and fresh...little sweet n dry on the finish.
Drinkability: The beer was decent but i would only question the how often would i actually sit down to drink this beer? I aprreciate it but i don't love it.

Pours a transparent deep rosy amber, which surprised me because I (for whatever reason) expected this to be an unfiltered. Dense, craggy, light brown head.
Smells very sweet, cider-like. Taste is very similar, and surprisingly simple. No hops to speak of, and not even particularly malty. Just FRUITY! Very fruity. Impressive that such a tart flavor could come just from yeast, because I was pretty sure there was a whole granny smith apple in that bottle.
Not something I would buy again, but worth a try.

Appearance - The body was nothing special, brown and clear with orangish-red tints, but the head was magnificent. It rose up mightily and lasted a lifetime. It came down lacing on the sides first while the middle held fast, so that in a few minutes I had a glass that was half beer half head, and the head was big but had pulled away from the edges while leaving a thick film. Awesome!
Smell - The light malt is dominated by a strong (but not sharp) sour aroma. The smell is very sophisticated and complex, though, and is mixed with clove and some cinnamon.
Taste - This is more balanced at the taste. The mild malt flavor stands a little firmer here, and the tartness is still strong but not as dominant. There's also a light sweet taste here and a tea-like quality that was very nice.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied and mild in its sweetness, this one was great to hold in the cheeks for a while.
Drinkability - I'm not a huge fan of the style, but this was great to sip on during the day.
Update - My original review was written off a 2003 vintage so I thought I'd delve into this delicacy again in 2009. The head didn't come up the way it did before but otherwise it was pretty much spot on. I am always taken aback when drinking this ale as to the sophisticated manner in which they bring in the cloves. They are not small, but the flavor and aroma both manage to sneak in unnoticed at first then halfway through the bottle you pick it up.

A: Filtered chestnut brown with a thick and luscious tan head. Plenty of carbonation streams visible.
N: Rotten fruit (dates, plums, and blackberries mostly) and sour apples. Vinegar.
T: Sweet and sour weirdness. Tastes like very, very rotten fruit mostly plums and apples. Rotten to the core. Nasty stuff. The initial sip causes ones lips to pucker violently but that is followed by this strong sugary rotten fruit sweetness. This is strange brew.
MF: Sour, then sweet, then sour again. Medium body with a lengthy slightly sweet nasty finish.
D: Low. This brew doesnt sit right. Too much vinegar. I dont think more than one goblet would be healthy.

Figured it was about time I got around to this one, oftentimes an introductory "sour" for those trying to ease their way into the style. Deep burgundy body with rose tones near the top where light is allowed to shine through. The beige head crackles away swiftly into a wimpy little skin that doesn't even maintain full coverage of the brew for more than a few seconds.
Either you're gonna love the aroma, or you're gonna hate it, and it pretty much depends on how much you enjoy vinegar. Copious amounts of vinegar in the aroma, which a back panel of lightly sour cherries and some mild cranberry notes. Spicy, woody vanilla pops out when you inhale deep enough, though your nostrils are busy sifting through the heavy, heavy apple cider vinegar.
Now, I'm a fan of vinegar, though I have to admit that had the vinegar been so heavy on the palate as it was on the nose, it might be a difficult beer to finish. Luckily, the first few sips show me that the vinegar notes, while still prominent and forceful, are toned down to acceptable levels. Some simply tart cherries back the vinegar and smooth things out just a bit.
Mild cola, oak, and faint vanilla make up the rest of the profile, but vinegar-soaked cherries are the leaders of the pack at the end of the day. The tail end aftertaste contains some funk, but nothing too crazy or notable. With time, it seems that Duchesse goes from being more sour to more sweet; by the time you finish the glass, it will be mostly sweet.
Medium bodied, a touch heavier than you may expect for a sour ale, with heavier carbonation as well, and a slick, almost oily mouth feel. Duchesse de Bourgogne is a decent way to soothe your apprehensive friends into accepting the world of sour beers. For people who are already deep into that territory, this beer won't be too exciting for you, so hopefully you can see it for what it is: a mild mannered bridge into a whole different type of beer.

Serving date: 2009-03-22. Served in wine glass.
A: Dark ruby color with dark brown hues. Slightly beige and uneven but thick head that dissipates slowly and leaves a decent amount of lacings.
S: Rather reminiscent of red wine. Plenty of vinous fruit aromas (ripe cherries, apples). Rum-soaked raisins, notes of oak barrel, yeast and gentle malt aromas.
T: A rather unique and very pleasant taste with plenty of wine-like flavors. Ripe cherries, grapes, over-ripe apples, earth. Yeast, gentle spiciness and hints of candy, butterscotch and chocolate. A tart note in the middle. Passion fruit. Faint vinegar. Oak barrel. Plenty of action going on here and the flavors blends beautifully. Very complex and well balanced. The malts are restrained from start to finish. Basically no bitterness in the finish. However, there are plenty of black currants, rum-soaked raisins and some spicy alcohol.
M: Full body, very creamy. Upon swallowing, it changes and gets drier towards the finish. Lively carbonation.
D: A fantastic beer with great vinous aromas and flavors. Very complex and well balanced.

I was excited to give this style a shot. This is my first experience with the Flanders Red. Looked very nice on the pour with a deep copper body and a very minimal white head that dissipated quickly. The smell-lets say a tad sour. Reminded me of the fruity flavors and strong scent of balsamic vineagar. The taste was sour cherries! It just blasts you right up front and them dissipates. The Duchesse is well carbonated which accentuates the sour flavor up front then swallows fairly clean. The sour was too much for me. I felt like I was drinking vineagar. I only managed 4-5 sips and was done. There is a lot of flavor in there but the sour/vineagar flavor was so overwhelming it was hard to enjoy everything this beer has to offer. Everyone should give this a shot, but you may learn like me that this flavor does not suit your tastebuds.

Duchesse De Bourgogne 6.0% as stated on the 11.2oz bottle. Poured into Lindeman's flute glass.
A- Pours a carmel colored fluid that then boast a huge carbonated off-white head that stays around for the whole beer. Lacing is sticky and retains heavily in layers on the rim of the glass.
S- Scents are tarted sour cherries with light apple peel. Sweet burnt carmel malt lingers in the back of the nose.
T-M- Taste is impressive and unique. First is a dark tartness of plums, cherries and dates. Second there is a malty carmel brown suger flavor that blends itself together causing a strange sweet tart tangyness on the tongue. Thick malty film is left on the taste buds that offer a creamy mouthfeel allowing a nice drinkable Flanders style red ale.
D- Not my personal favorite but a beer i'll go back to for a different look on how tart can be mixed with malty sweetness.

Poured from a 75cL bottle into two tulip glasses. One for me and one for my wife. The cork is labeled exp. 05/11.
It pours a brilliant deep red color with a two finger foamy dense head
Smells of acidity, sour fruit and vinegar notes. The nose is very inviting and promising for a tasty sour beer inside.
The taste is an explosion of colliding flavors. Starts a little tart with a lot of red fruit flavors. the middle is medium bard-yard brett and it finishes with the acidic vinegar and a surprising sweetness.
Mouthfeel is exceptional, a little tart but smooth and perfect carbonation level. Four a sour the drinkability is amazing. I'm drinking this faster than I wold have thought and it really goes down smoothly.
I haven't had many example of this style but I really am enjoying the trip. It wasn't as tart and sour as I had expected and the sweet finish was unexpected. I am unsure of the bottling date but i think I might pick up another bottle and let it age until closer to the expiration date to see how the tartness develops.

I had the pleasure of first having this on tap at the Brickstore in Atlanta. I'd never had a "flemish sour" as it was labeled and gave it a shot. I'm certainly glad I did as this has quickly became a favorite style to me and opened my eyes up to the world of sour beers.
This beer pours a lovely crimson, garnet red clear body with an initial tall 2 finger head which reduced down to a fairly thick half inch. The smell to me is amazing and one I have never found in any other beer. Its all about the balsamic vinegar, which I personally really like. Additionally there is a good dose of grape and other fruit aromas which remind me of a dark red wine.
The taste is of slight vinegar with a body of sour grape juice along with tart cherries. Its quite juicy and sweet on the tongue and finishes a bit sour, but not overpowering. When I had this on tap everyone who tasted it all agreed it was very interesting. This one sits a bit warm on my stomach although it isn't a high ABV brew.
Mouthfeel is a touch thin but coats the mouth well. Drinkability is good as well but it plays with my stomach a bit. I find this so tasty though that I can deal with that.
Overall, this beer (and the style in general) has an amazing flavor that everyone must try at least once. This is just one more example of the breadth of the capability of the beer world.

text: A while ago I posted about swapping final drive sides, to account for the brake pin part of the casting being broken on the left side. Take a look at these photos - Guess I won't be putting this one on the left any time soon. This has been like this since we got the Cub in ~1965. How does one break this casting that badly?

WOW. This has gotten this board charged, huh? My two cents:
This is unnecessary, on Floyd's part. In my novice psychologist's POV, Floyd expected some allegiance from Ward and seemed a little disrespected/betrayed by Ward's words. I commented on the article at the time and said, "No where in this article does Andre Ward say Guerrero WILL win...." I think that's the part Floyd omitted when he processed what he read/heard (big emphasis on HEARD).
As far as the interview goes, I believe that was something that could've been/should've been "side stepped". There are a few things, IMO, of which you steer clear and one of them is a person's faith. You can't rationalize someone else's "faith" and to question it, especially when the person hasn't done anything REMOTELY hypocritical, well isn't the wisest of things. Now, someone mentioned he, Floyd, wants to win "hearts and minds, but he doesn't know how...". Well, someone needs to hire him a publicist, b/c this isn't the way to go about it. Think about it: This country is largely ran on Judeau-Christian values and he mocks a guy who uses "S.O.G." as his calling card? While no one is beyond reproach, I have to say, this is a road he shouldn't want to go down. You wanna know how powerful that religion thing is in sports? Manny potentially has fathered a child out of wedlock, has/had a gambling problem and allegedly reneged on a significant debt. All of that, has pretty much been wiped out the moment he "got back right w/ God" (well, that and the media kinda looked the other way.....EVERY TIME)....and dude STILL has a Hennessy commercial in heavy rotation!!!!!
Lastly, Floyd spit that Ward is unpopular, well, as soon as the mainstream media gets wind of this, that's no longer going to be true. If Ward's camp does it right, they could eat this up. I mean, Floyd is like the E.F. Hutton in boxing, when he speaks, everyone rallies around and supports the target(s) of his words. I can see it now, "Mayweather mocks fighter for choosing faith over money." <<<<< No matter how out of context it will be, people will slurp that up.
In short, if it's true Floyd wants to win over people, it's time for Floyd to hire a publicist and save him from himself.

Good Lord, Reed Hastings. What were you drinking last night?
The Co-Founder and CEO of Netflix bombed subscribers' inboxes this morning with the most baffling email users have received from the company ever, putting a cap on what has been a tumultuous 2011 for the video service. Earlier this year, Netflix, who reported having 23.6 million subscribers in April of this year, jacked up prices in a hugely controversial move that scared Wall Street when it was revealed late last week that the service was expecting to lose 1 million subscribers as a result. This caused a nearly 20% drop in stock prices for the company. Panic! The solution? Splitting the company in two with one half now dedicated to streaming only, the other to DVD-by-mail. Yeah, we know. You might want to break out the aspirin.
So this is how it will break down: Netflix will now just be for streaming content only, with the newly unveiled Qwikster (awful name) for your DVD needs. That's right, before where you could get all your movie needs under one roof, now you'll have to deal with it from two separate places. Great work, everyone. Here's what Hastings had to say in his email:
Qwikster will be the same website and DVD service that everyone is used to. It is just a new name, and DVD members will go to qwikster.com to access their DVD queues and choose movies. One improvement we will make at launch is to add a video games upgrade option, similar to our upgrade option for Blu-ray, for those who want to rent Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Members have been asking for video games for many years, but now that DVD by mail has its own team, we are finally getting it done. Other improvements will follow. A negative of the renaming and separation is that the Qwikster.com and Netflix.com websites will not be integrated.
When exactly this transition will happen isn't clear, but seriously, making users manage two services instead of one is a massive #customerservicefail. Will you be able to move your Netflix queue over to Qwikster? What if one month you're going to away to the cottage and just want DVDs, will you be able to switch over for that month? So few answers in Hastings' overly long email (and video) and so many more frustrating questions that remain to be addressed. But in the history of poor communication with customers, and terribly integrated service changes, this Netflix/Qwikster debacle has to be near the top of the list. If you can't explain it in less than 13 paragraphs, don't expect us to understand it, Reed.
All of that said, from a business world perspective, this all makes perfect sense. Hastings has long seen streaming as the future of the business and their current dealmaking and power plays have pointed toward growth in that arena. You can bet the company's recent pick up of the David Fincher/Kevin Spacey series "House of Cards" is going to be a major anchor in their streaming biz and will just be the tip of the iceberg as Netflix flirts in the world of being a cable company. Also, DVD mailing as a business will only be financially viable for so long and splitting those costs/expenses/etc into two companies means they can budget accordingly and if/when that service is eventually phased out it won't be at the expense of the more lucrative streaming entity.
So here we are, six paragraphs from where we started and still befuddled by Netflix's bull in a china shop approach to change. Here's the video of Reed Hastings talking about the future of the company. We have to admit, it's so cringeworthy and embarrassing, we couldn't make it through the whole thing.

No subtitles on Streaming. I am hearing impaired.

Erik, do you work for Netflix? Nobody believes this is good for consumers. Oh, and it isn't just the sound that's awful in this video. So is Reed Hastings' shirt.
Rick | September 19, 2011 12:44 PM
I don't want streaming only if it's not in blu-ray quality, both picture and sound, and also if there isn't any special features. The reason I keep both is because there's some good gems on streaming, but I also want the quality and special features of blu-ray.
greg | September 19, 2011 11:51 AM
Forget about the weird business decisions. What about the awful sound in that video? They're supposed to be a movie business company. Shoddy from every angle.
MDL | September 19, 2011 10:23 AM
I agree this confuses things a bit. [I actually did not receive the email. I heard about it on the net]. The thing is, though, I am not sure all these changes could be explained in less than '13 paragraphs' so the idea was to get out in front and make a broad statement. Then, later, the details will come.
If a great number of people are still confused once the move happens then he and NetFlix deserve criticism.
jeanpierre | September 19, 2011 10:16 AM
Look Erik, I agree that maybe we shouldn't deride this bullshit in print, but this is some fucking bullshit!
I am a poor, lazy film student and I don't have time to keep track of all this bullshit.
My only hope is that everything is available via stream before summer next year.
Christine L | September 19, 2011 8:53 AM
I agree with what you wrote completely. It's pretty evident the guy stayed up drinking one night and threw this mess of an idea together. Instead of rushing to find a final product, take the time and figure out the needs/wants of the consumers. 1 million people ended their service due to confusion and annoyance, and this is their solution? ajsdklfj what??
Reed is obviously a smart guy, he created something ingenious. Now it just seems like he's driving it into the ground.
Erik McClanahan | September 19, 2011 7:43 AM
Kevin, you're great man, but I gotta go with the Filmspotting mantra here: I hear what you're saying, but you're completely wrong :)
I found the email to be earnest, upfront and the model makes sense to me. I get your questions, but why so reactionary and hyperbolic? Netflix has been providing a premium service at an incredibly cheap rate for more than a decade. They have the right to change their model and rates, just as we have the right to say 'fuck off Netflix'.
I think Reed Hastings and co. have a better handle on things than you're given them credit for. Just sayin...

If you only were to watch one quarter of basketball [which happens to be all I have seen first hand], you might get the impression that this PJ Tucker kid has pulled a Jeremy Lin and is a surefire star on the rise. His energy aside [which reminds some of a Pony name Lou], Tucker showed in one quarter that he had NBA defensive ability, enough so that it may keep him in the league for a while. His intensity, grit and skill to stay with ball handlers and be a disruptive force is reminiscent of a young, stronger, shot-less Raja Bell.
While one quarter doth not make a game, season or career, said one quarter at the very least, sent a statement to the remainder of the roster. Alvin Gentry's willingness to eschew the pressure of contracts and expectations in favor of anyone that is going to provide value on the court is why I like Gentry. He isn't the greatest coach, but he is willing to bench Micheal Beasley in favor of a walk-on simply because that walk-on got it done. Whatever your predictions for Gentry are, that act of ballsiness alone warrants keeping Gentry on as coach.
The bigger story here though, is the message Tucker has sent to Beasley.
Michael, you had a nice game the other night, showed your ability to score, displayed your offensive versatility, and gave us all hope that you might fulfill some of your potential. However, in the fourth quarter last night, PJ Tucker showed you exactly why you are where you are in this league. If you could come out with half the intensity and half the defensive prowess displayed by Tucker, you would be an all-star in the league. Most certainly, you wouldn't be relegated to watching games in the fourth quarter.
Tucker's ability to defend, scramble for boards and slide to open areas for dunks showed that there is more value to a guy that can bring energy, defense and finishing skills during crunch time than for a guy that can occasionally summon a scoring binge.
Oh, to be a geneticist and to combine the DNA of PJ Tucker into Michael Beasley's corpse!

June 19 & 20, 2012
Ottawa – Hilton Garden Inn Ottawa Airport,
2400 Alert Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1V 1S1
Knowledge Mobilization has seen a significant growth over the past decade. There are more organizations engaged in active knowledge mobilization efforts. There are more people with knowledge mobilization as their profession. Research efforts to understand and optimize knowledge mobilization practice have accelerated and are attracting more resources. It is now time to come together to share both the science and art of knowledge mobilization. The Canadian Knowledge Mobilization Forum will provide access to some of the best minds and most creative practitioners in the field. Come to share what you know so we can create together.
- Keynote speakers will be: Inspirational, Master Networkers, Visionary, and Action Oriented.
- The themes to be addressed include practice in: Education, Health, Public Policy, and Community Partnerships.
- Learn from the latest research findings.
- Discover new products and applications for knowledge mobilization.
- Enhance your own leadership and management abilities by hearing what your colleagues are doing.
- Colleagues and peers will connect through Knowledge Cafés, a Wine and Cheese Reception, and ramp up action with Knowledge Mobilization Springboard Rounds.

A wonderful initiative. I am planning to co-author a document which we'll love to present. We have already worked on a software solution for trading business where we tried to apply and and optimally implement the strict financial and supply chain regulatory procedures while developing the software solution. We'll document the work we have done for the benefit and also for the critical analysis of those who can expand the boundaries of knowledge further.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- This week's Academic All-Star knows how to inspire. She wants to continue to help others in her future career. Southridge High School senior Emma Sanders is the Southridge ASB vice president. She is also involved in Leadership, National Honor Society and Ignite Club.
Emma talks about what inspires her to help other people, saying, "I just love getting people involved and getting people to want to be move involved in the school and get them out of their shell."
Sanders is the captain of the girls' soccer team and basketball team. Southridge girls' soccer coach Greg Sambrano said Sanders is a great leader.
"Very positive, communicates very well, respected by her teammates, coaches and peers," Sambrano said.
Sanders takes AP Statistics and AP Government. She plans to take her 3.95 GPA to Willamette University, eventually getting into teaching or communication.
"Generally speaking, help people out, maybe going into education and helping students want to follow their dreams and want them to become better for who they are as a person," Sanders said.

Major League Baseball and the Los Angeles Dodgers are proud to announce that they have found a solution to the controversy that surrounds current Dodgers owner Frank McCourt; the elegant answer both helps McCourt and his soon-to-be ex-wife Jamie, and helps promote and make money for baseball.
The Dodgers will be sold by lottery.
Beginning Tuesday, May 31, the day after Memorial Day, 100 million tickets will be made available at major- and minor-league ballparks, major sporting-goods retail chains, at mlb.com and at all courtrooms in Los Angeles County. Tickets are affordable at $10 each (tickets.com fees not included if purchased online); each collectible ticket will feature a photo of a past Dodger great, including Sandy Koufax, Orel Hershiser, Maury Wills, Darren Dreifort and Manny Ramirez.
One Grand Prize winner will be chosen and become owner of the Dodgers (subject to approval by other major league owners; if unapproved, more winning tickets will be chosen until someone is approved). Of the $1 billion proceeds, $700 million will be given to Frank and Jamie McCourt to settle their divorce and also to pay the lawyers. The balance of the money will, by California lottery law, be given to the state to help reduce the state 2011 budget deficit, which as of May 17 stood at $9.6 billion. Of course, $300 million won't put much of a dent in that deficit, but by purchasing one of these highly coveted tickets, you too can help get our most populous state out of the troubles it's been in for more than three decades.
But wait! There's more! Although only one winner will become the new owner of the Dodgers, 50 other winners (commemorating the Dodgers' 50 years in Dodger Stadium) will get consolation prizes. Among these great prizes:
- Andre Ethier will be the guest at your home for dinner and pose for photos with you and up to 10 friends or relatives. He promises to not use any profanity, or make more than a few crude gestures.
- Vin Scully will, for one year, deliver a unique greeting to you once a month that you can use on your outgoing voicemail message.
- Frank or Jamie McCourt, or both, will personally serve as your driver to and from your workplace for three months.
- A birthday party for your child with up to 100 guests at Dodger Stadium, hosted by Dodgers broadcaster Rick Monday (or, if your family is Spanish speaking, Fernando Valenzuela).
- A year's supply of Dodger Dogs (cooking not included).
- You or your designated substitute will pitch one inning for the Dodgers in a 2012 major league game (game subject to designation by manager Don Mattingly, or his successor); if you do well, more games can be arranged.
- After the divorce is final, a dream date with the McCourt of your choice (limo rental not included).
The lottery tickets will be sold until the divorce is final, or when Los Angeles gets an NFL franchise, whichever comes first. Employees of the Dodgers, Major League Baseball, any law firm headquartered in the state of California, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are ineligible. Void where prohibited by law or common sense.

More than 30 organizations are met at the state Capitol to rally against childhood obesity.
Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning spokesman Reg Griffin says a coalition of organizations convened Wednesday at the Capitol to demonstrate a joint commitment to fight childhood obesity in the state.
Griffin says 41 percent of the state's children between 10 and 17 are overweight or obese, and the state ranks 49th nationally in terms of childhood obesity.
Organizers say lawmakers, business leaders and nonprofit groups were on hand to share initiatives and ideas aimed at cutting the state's childhood obesity rate.
The event, titled "Unite Against Childhood Obesity," was held on the second floor of the Capitol.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Alexandria's Blaize Kelly was sensational in his season debut on the mound, Anderson's hefty lineup put on a show in its first inning of the spring and the Tigers and Indians advanced to the Nick Muller Memorial Baseball Tournament semifinals with lopsided victories Tuesday at Memorial Field.
Kelly tore through a sturdy Lapel lineup in the nightcap, allowing just one hit and striking out 12 in a 13-0 Alexandria victory.
"Not bad for his first time out this year, huh?" Tigers coach Jeff Closser said. "His pitch count was a little higher than we wanted, but it's hard to take a kid out when he's bulldogging like he was."
Anderson got the evening started on an explosive note by scoring nine runs in the bottom of the first inning. Tony Bova and Julius Neal drove in two runs each in the frame, and 13 Indians came to the plate in all during the frame.
The inning included a lead-off double by Jerred Quartier on a blooper into shallow right field and an RBI triple by Eddie Boner. Peyton Newsom, Drew Laughlin and Curtis Wilson also had RBI singles before the frame was closed.
The big inning helped pave the way for a 17-1 Anderson victory against tournament newcomer Anderson Preparatory Academy.
"I'm pleased," Indians coach Terry Turner said. "(APA) made some plays, but we hit the ball well. Defensively, we made the plays we were supposed to make, and I thought Ethan (Duncan) pitched well."
Duncan did not match Kelly's later heroics, but he put together a nice line of his own — allowing just one run and one hit with four strikeouts in four innings.
The Jets actually got on the board first with a two-out triple by Zach MacGilvray in the top of the first inning. But Duncan and Quartier, who pitched the fifth in relief, combined to retire the next 13 APA hitters.
The game's most memorable blow was struck by Newsom, who launched a high fastball well over the 400-foot marker and onto the hill behind the fence in straightaway center field.
Newsom, who finished the day 2-for-4 with four RBIs, hit 10 home runs last season as a junior with seven of them coming at Memorial Field.
"It was a high pitch, and he just kind of flicked his wrist at it," Turner said. "Can you imagine what's going to happen when he actually turns on one and flows all the way through? It may not stop for a year."
Boner went 3-for-3 with a pair of RBIs for the Indians, Quartier was 2-for-4 and Neal and Jake Fox each finished 2-for-2, with Neal adding three RBIs.
Kelly added some offensive fireworks of his own to his standout pitching performance in Game 2. He went 2-for-4 and drove in three runs.
The Tigers took advantage of four Lapel errors to score four runs in the third inning and break the game open.
Alexandria's Jake Fox was 2-for-3 with two RBIs, Derek Dinehart was 3-for-4, Jesse Gossett went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, Drew Johnson was 2-for-3 with an RBI single and Owen Young drove in two runs.
"We've been swinging the bats well all spring," Closser said. "We knew coming in that was going to be our forte. We're not going to hit a lot of long balls, but we will hit a lot of line drives and find the gaps."
Anderson and Alexandria will meet in the semifinals Thursday at 5 p.m. at Memorial Field.
APA will face Elwood at 6:30 p.m. today in a consolation game at Pendleton Heights, and Lapel battles Madison-Grant in a consolation bracket contest on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in Pendleton.

Students Against Excessive Homework (SAEH)
We've gotten the sense that throughout the past term, many of us have been feeling extremely overwhelmed and confused regarding our Illustration and Portfolio classes. We believe that the amount, and caliber of the work that has been assigned to us throughout these courses is overwhelming and exhausting. It is in our best interest that we approach the teacher with this petition and unanimous support from all students enrolled, and ask that the workload be reduced. As the third term approaches it's final 4 weeks, we feel that there is still no end in sight for these two classes. We ask that all students take a second out of your busy schedules to sign this petition and show your support regarding this issue. Stand up, speak your mind, SAEH something!!

Ex-Gaels lineman signs with NFL's Cincinnati Bengals
Former Queen's Gaels offensive lineman Matt O'Donnell has signed a professional contract with the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League.
"I'm really excited to get to Cincinnati and try to get a jersey," said an excited O'Donnell. "My goal is to earn a roster position and become a regular NFL player."
O'Donnell who stands at a towering 6-foot-10 and weighs 340 pounds, spent four seasons with the Gaels and dressed for every game since joining the team in 2007. He is a two-time All-Canadian and was the 2010 recipient of the OUA J.P. Metras Award for the top lineman in the conference.
O'Donnell was a participant in the 2010 East-West Shrine Bowl and ranked as a top 10 CFL prospect for the entire 2010-11 season.
"He's got an NFL body and is a very physical player," said Queen's Head Coach Pat Sheahan "He also has that extra quality that defines great football players. You like to have guys out there that get fired up and really want to win – that's Matt O'Donnell!"
Five Queen's players have participated in NFL camps, most recently Brad Elberg with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1993. Former Gaels offensive lineman Mike Schad was taken in the first round of the NFL draft by the then Los Angeles Rams 23rd overall in 1986.

After wowing what seemed to be the enitre gamut of technology publications at CES 2013, the hotly anticipated Oculus Rift head-mounted display device has now found its way into coverage at the esteemed New York Times, offering more much deserved attention to the crowdfunded project, a few weeks before the first developer kits are expected to start shipping.
Mentioned almost off-hand in the article is the suggestion that Rift support for more games will be announced in some manner during the 2013 Game Developers Conference, which the Oculus team will be attending in San Francisco next month.
The company has not announced commitments from game developers to create complete games that work on the headset, though Oculus said that will change at a game developer conference next month.The report doesn't appear to have anything else new to reveal, but if you're just now hearing about the the next best hope for virtual reality gaming, it does serve as a good entry point to bring you up to speed.
From the Kickstarter project, We currently know that id Software's Doom 3: BFG Edition, and Adhesive Games' Hawken will be including Rift support --which requires pre-warping of the rendered game image to be sent to each eye of the display to match the device's optics-- and support for the device has also been plugged into prominent game engines Unity 3D, and Epic's Unreal Engine 3, which has led to an array of indie studios pledging to feature it in their games (kept track of by Steam Greenlight users).
So given the calibre of developers usually in attendance at GDC, there's a good chance we might see some more high profile titles hopping on board the VR train. The most obvious prospects being Valve Software's Source Engine games, perhaps as part of this reported presentation of adapting Team Fortress 2 to VR?

---- — CHAZY — A tractor was destroyed when it was hit by an Amtrak train on Wednesday at a farm crossing.
No one was injured, Chazy-based State Police said.
Lawrence Nichols, 42, of Champlain was driving the tractor across a private, right-of-way crossing that is used by farmers near Bell Road in Chazy when the tractor got stuck on the train tracks, police said.
An Amtrak passenger train heading south wasn't able to stop and plowed into the tractor.
Nichols got out of the way as the train approached.
A 911 call alerted State Police and emergency responders about the accident at about 12:45 p.m. but there was some confusion over where it happened.
The location was first given as the rail crossing over Stetson Road in Chazy; responders quickly found the right spot, though.
The farm crossing is near one that is closed to regular traffic — it is reached by Bell Road from the east off Stetson Road and Sarachon Road from the west off Route 9.
Mary Kalvaitis and her husband, Eini, who own Phantom Farm Pet Motel on Bell Road near the tracks, saw a fleet of police cars and fire trucks parked next to their home when they pulled into their driveway at 1:15 p.m.
Police told her that the man operating the tractor was able to get to safety before the train hit it, she said.
"It scared us," she said. "But nobody is hurt."
The front of the Amtrak engine had minor damage, police said.
No tickets were issued.
Amtrak's website says the southbound train arrives in Rouses Point at 12:05 p.m., with possible delays from U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspection.
It is supposed to arrive in Plattsburgh at about 12:35 p.m. each day.
An Amtrak representative could not be reached Wednesday for information on how long the train was delayed as a result of the accident.

Event offers advice on appenticeships
6:00am Monday 24th February 2014 in News
Young people in Calderdale have been invited to an event where they will be able to rub shoulders with some of the area's biggest businesses.
Companies like Yorkshire Water, Lloyds Bank and Calderdale Council will be at the apprenticeship evening at The Shay Stadium in Halifax, offering advice to people hoping to start a new job or apprenticeship. Current apprentices will also be on hand to discuss their experiences.
Councillor Megan Swift, the Council's cabinet member for children and young people's services, said: "Apprenticeships are a really good opportunity.

The event runs from 4pm to 7pm on Thursday, March 13. For more information, call (01422) 392701.

The Cherokee County Board of Elections will hold a called meeting to review allegations that County Commissioner-elect Brian Poole is ineligible to take office.
The meeting will take place today at 1 p.m. at the Albert Stone Elections Building at 400 East Main Street in downtown Canton.
The residents contend Poole has not paid state and local sales taxes in the state of Alabama. Poole allegedly owes $38,599.09 in sales taxes in the neighboring state.
The elections board will decide whether to move forward on charges brought forth by a group of unnamed residents who allege Poole is ineligible to take office.
Canton Attorney Jeff Rusbridge, who is representing the citizens, on Friday sent a letter to Cherokee County Elections and Voter Registration Supervisor Janet Munda, requesting she schedule a hearing to consider the allegations before the Nov. 6 election.
Rusbridge also sent to Munda several documents that appear to be certificates of liens against Poole from the Alabama Department of Revenue, which were filed between 2009 and 2011, and copies of a voluntary bankruptcy filing Poole made in 2010.
"Mr. Poole himself, in sworn statements submitted with his Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition in the Middle District of Alabama, Case No. 10-11227, admitted owing $29,855 in unpaid state and local sales and withholding taxes to the State of Alabama," the letter reads.
The Towne Lake resident is set to take office on Jan. 1. Poole ran and won the Republican nomination for the District 3 commission seat against Cherokee Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member Chris Hampton. Poole has no Democratic opposition in the Nov. 6 general election. Both Poole and Hampton sought the seat after incumbent County Commissioner Karen Bosch opted not to seek re-election.
Poole has not returned calls or emails requesting comment, but has denied charges in other media outlets.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. (AP) -- Rory Blanche scored 16 points Thursday night, leading Western Washington to a 71-66 victory over Stonehill and a spot in its first NCAA Division II title game.
The Vikings (30-5) set a school record with their 30th win. Known for pulling off big comebacks in the tournament, they got ahead by 20 points against the fourth-toughest defense in Division II, then held on in the final minute.
Brian Hamor scored 22 for Stonehill (25-9), the only unranked team in the final four.
Blanche hit a 3 that got Western Washington out of a sloppy start and on a 21-3 spurt that put the Vikings ahead to stay.
Hamor's step-back 3 completed a 10-point run that got it down to 50-41 with 8:02 left. Adam Fazzini hit a 3 that cut it to 61-57 with 1:24 to go.
John Allen, one of the nation's best free-throw shooters at 88.9 percent, made four in a row to secure the win.

This report (2004) by Chris T King and Sarah Looney of the Ray Marshall Centre of UTA contains a discussion of 30 workforce development performance measures generated by several US states for 7 areas of interest to policy and program leaders and rated by them for usefulness.
The seven areas are: outcomes for employers and the economy; labour market outcomes for program participants; social welfare outcomes; customer satisfaction; skills gains; return on investment; and sub-group and comparative information. A One-Stop Career Centre was one of the features of services examined in this context.
In their review of the measures, the authors used the following lenses: rationale; feasibility; accuracy; validity; systems focus; time frames; and definitions.
While career development services were only one of the program features examined, the lenses used by the authors can be of value to policy makers/developers, delivery service managers, researchers, and leaders of the career guidance community in the search for meaningful policy performance indicators.
This policy brief (2005) by Sarah Looney and Chris T King provides backround to the movement to develop a standard set of performance measures for publicly funded programmes that comprise the US workforce development system. It also reviews two prominent US proposals: common measures proposed by the Office of Management and Budget , and the measures of the Integrated Performance Information Project.
While not specifically dealing with the performance indicators for career guidance/development services and programmes, the content of the policy brief has pertinence for such discussions in the USA and beyond.
This publication is a summary of the proceedings of a French Presidency of the EU conference supported by the European Commission's Directorates for Education and for Employment. The conference aimed to identify the challenges, to set out common findings, and to outline measures taken to make lifelong learning more effective. Lifelong learning was seen as at the heart of the flexicurity principle.
As you will see from the proceedings, most of the time was devoted to issues concerning initial and continuing vocational training: access by SMEs, by older, disabled, migrant, unskilled; employer or employee led; partnerships, motivation; costs and benefits.
The importance of career guidance and counselling was underlined by Heléne Clark, director of the EC's DG for Education, and was also underlined in the French Secretary of State for Employment's discourse on training system reform.
This 2008 report describes some of the definitional, conceptual and historical foundations of the concept of social inclusion. It summarises the strengths and limitations of Australian and international approaches to the topic so far, and sketches some of the scope of exclusion in terms of locational disadvantage, intergenerational disadvantage, children at risk, child poverty and jobless families, employment, mental health, disability and homelessness. It also discusses the relational dimension of exclusion. The report provides elements of policy approaches to move from exclusion to inclusion.
Career guidance is often used as part of multidimensional strategies to address exclusion issues; indeed in its origins it was part of a social reform movement. In order to see where it may or can play a role, this report is essential background reading.
The ministers for VET of the European Union , the European Social Partners and the European Commission met in Bordeaux, France under the French Presidency of the EU in 2008 to review priorities and strategies in European cooperation in VET. The outcome of their discussions is known as the Bordeaux Communique.
The Communique outlines the process of cooperation since 2002, describes the key EU instruments created and their impact on national policies. It sets out a new strategic vision for 2008-2010, especially the challenges of globalisation. The Communique proposes four priority areas for future action:
The Communique makes very explicit the centrality of the provision of career guidance to VET and CVET policies for young people and adults.
It calls for:
Recommendation 195 concerning human resource development - education, training and lifelong learning - has 11 chapters including:
Members agreed through social dialogue to formulate, apply and review national human resource development, education and training, and lifelong learning policies which are consistent with economic, fiscal and social policies. Career guidance is positioned as central to national HRD policies.

The Cedarville team later discovered a better approach than the ether/water solution. Ethanol motor fuel is "contaminated" with 15% gasoline to make it toxic so that the liquor tax does not apply. The gasoline can be recovered or separated by distillation and then used for the cold start. There are many advantages to this system, as it is less volatile than ether and therefore safer. The distillation system requires much less maintenance than a catalytic reformulation device.

A New Half Century, A New Magazine
A New Half Century, A New Magazine
Virginia Wesleyan College unveils a redesigned publication in time for the College's 50th anniversary
By Leona Baker | September 16, 2011
Magazines have a unique, immersive storytelling power. When they're done well, they can capture our imagination and draw us in with words and images in ways that other media—including digital media—cannot. As a recent ad campaign produced by the Association of Magazine Media pointed out, we "surf" the internet, but we "swim" in magazines.
I had this in mind as I began the process of reinventing Virginia Wesleyan College's magazine in anticipation of the College's 50th anniversary. As VWC was planning for a year of celebrations marking this momentous occasion, the timing was right for a fresh take on a publication that began in 1993 as "The College Magazine for Alumni and Friends."
I am happy to announce that the redesigned, re-imagined version of the VWC magazine is now in print complete with a new name, a contemporary look and 56 pages of original editorial content. In the pages of Marlin Magazine, you will find full length stories about the College's enhanced curriculum, the 30th anniversary of the Hofheimer Theater, the successes of our teacher education programs, and the Marlin spirit of the VWC Track & Field team.
Beautiful photography and a clean, modern design complement informative and inspiring features on everything from student, faculty and alumni accomplishments to campus news and 50th anniversary events. Contributions from faculty and staff, current students and alumni, as well as professional writers, designers, photographers and illustrators give the magazine a diverse and well-rounded look and feel.
I hope you will enjoy "swimming" in these pages as much as I have enjoyed being a part of their creation. Virginia Wesleyan College has so many amazing stories to tell. It's my privilege to share just a few of them with you in the form of this new publication, which I hope captures something of the essence of the Virginia Wesleyan experience: once a Marlin, always a Marlin.
Marlin Magazine will be mailed, free of charge, to alumni and friends of Virginia Wesleyan College in the coming weeks. It will also be available on campus and at various special events throughout the 2011-12 school year. Didn't get your copy in the mail? Please be sure we have your correct address. Send your updated information to
Leona Baker is the Assistant Director of Communications at Virginia Wesleyan College and the Editor-in-Chief of Marlin Magazine.

FORD COUNTY -- A request to move the trial of a Cullom woman charged with killing a foster child has been rejected.
Heather Lamie is charged in the death of 4-year-old Kianna Rudesill in May of 2011.
Lamie's attorneys had argued media coverage and social media outlets had tainted a potential Livingston County jury pool.
A Ford County judge disagreed.
The trial is set to start in January in Ford County, but it could be pushed back.

Scrapbook MAX! Digital Scrapbooking Software
Archival Quality Digital Scrapbooking Software
Hi Karen
Found a way to run Max on an Apple. I would like to know if I can share with the girls.
Sent you the info in message.
Hi Karin,
I hope I have the right person--you were "referred" to me by another member of the forum after I posted a question concerning commercial uses of a Scrapbook Max image. Here is my original message:
I have designed a new logo for my business. I designed it from Scrapbook Max's program and used one of their embellishments in my logo. The image comes from the Family Heritage Expansion pack (one of their shapes). I am a small, home-based business and sell my items on Etsy. I sell historic doll clothes for the 18" doll on Etsy. I would like to know how to get permission to use this graphic in my logo. I have searched your website and cannot find any clear answers as to how to obtain permission to use this image.
Thanks for your time,
Hi Karin I received my Halloween pack but it keeps saying archive integrity failed ,the setup file is not complete or a corrupted file after I download it thank Robyn Osborn
Hi Karin I won the halloween pack from Carenas challenge you wanted my Email and name
Robyn Osborn
Karin, you helped me with a problem previously. I hope you can do it again. Several of the challenges I uploaded had an automatic load feature to them. I can see them in my Scrapbook Max program but I can't find the location where they autoload. I searched my entire laptop for the files with no success. I store all my graphics on an external drive and want to move these freebies after the month is over. Where do they go????? If I remember and catch it in time, I can change the smb extension to a zip extension. Then the problem is solved, but if I forget...... I have about 4 folders to get rid of now. I looked in all the files of SBM on my C drive--nothing shows. I am still using version 1.
Hi Karin- I want to ask you about Scrapbook Max policy about posting nude pictures of your children online. I know parents think its cute but I am a trained assaulted children cousellor and advocate and honestly what is cute to parents can easily be found and downloaded and shared by pedafiles on child pornography sites. It seems unlikely but it is a real threat. I wanted to post about it but I thought it might be too disturbing a topic. I saw some nude children pages and found it disturbing. Would it be okay for me to post a comment in forums about this topic just to give parents a heads up about this?
how do you delete templates from scrapbook max 2. I have a lot of duplicates I need to get rid of. I couldn't figure out how to do a post
I was wondering if you would know the answer to this? I had to reinstall ScrapbookMax on my computer and I am having trouble getting my themes to reload. When I go to make a new page I cannot pick a new page because my themes are not there. What do I need to do?

Copied you on an email to Michelle, hope your received it. It was to say it's Ok to show the layout and story about our meeting. Felt I've knowned Michelle forever even though it's only been about 4 years and was so pleased we could finally get together.
I submitted a new thread to the discussion forum on August 1st, as agreed to with your colleague who accompanied your offer at 'bitsdujour'. However, my thread did not appear in the forum so far. Anything wrong?
Best Regards,

Hello Rodrik and thanks for your comments. One of our principle goals is to explain the proper uses and also the foreseeable hazards and misuses of our products and solutions in our technical notices and other information - such as our product experience available on petzl.com. This information is provided explicitly so that the user can make informed choices as to which solution may be the most appropriate for them. Each technical notice explains clearly that this choice and the responsibility for use remains with the user. The Petzl statement published in January 2012 relating to the use of the Petzl SHUNT in rope access explains that, in Petzl's view, it is the methods of use which may not be predictable and not the Petzl SHUNT. Sincerely
