For Jasper native Jonathan Sanford, who is in his first year as the public address (PA) announcer for the world champion Spurs, the job not only represents one of the most exciting and notable parts of the San Antonio organization, but it also represents the culmination of a dream that began 21 years ago during his teenage years.
In 1993, Sanford — then a student at Walker High School — began to develop a fascination and desire to become a PA announcer after watching the work of Ray Clay, the former PA announcer for the Chicago Bulls.
"Just watching what Ray was able to do was amazing. In some ways he seemed to guide the energy of the crowd, then in other ways he would enhance it," Sanford said. "That really caught my attention as a teenager — and I developed a dream to one day do that. At that time I didn't have the voice or effect necessary to do public announcing, but I felt that if I worked at it, the dream could come true."
After graduating from Walker in 1995, Sanford went to Jacksonville State and the International Bible College in Florence for his study in ministry. His 15-year, full-time career in ministry eventually led him to Houston, Texas, where he began to do PA announcing for the area high school district. In November 2011, Sanford moved to Austin where he continued to do PA announcing for area high schools, as well as USA Football.
It was at the USA Football world championships that Sanford met Mike Plummer, a former member of the Spurs staff, who informed him that the Spurs PA announcer was stepping down at the end of the season.
Plummer suggested Sanford should apply for the job.
"I went online and noticed on the application that three to four years of experience was needed — all I had done was high school games and a little college," Sanford said. "I went ahead, hesitantly, and still applied. I have a studio in my home, and I made a voice-over of the Spurs lineup being announced and sent that to them. I didn't know how much of a shot I had at getting the job, but I felt I just could not pass up on the opportunity."
Six weeks went by with no word from the Spurs. Sanford pushed the entire matter away from his mind and went on about his life until a phone call on a fateful Friday morning from Spurs staff member Evan Maxwell would move Sanford closer to his career dream.
Maxwell had been in the AT&T Center — the home of the San Antonio Spurs — and played Sanford's voice-over tape for the organization's executives, leading to a meeting between the leaders and the aspiring announcer. The result was Sanford being named as the PA announcer for the San Antonio Stars of the WNBA, as well as the Austin Toros of the NBA developmental league.
"They didn't want to throw me to the wolves right away. They said, 'We want you to do the Stars and the Toros for a season and we'll see how it goes,'" Sanford said. "I was determined to give it everything I had because I knew this was my chance to make my dream come true."
Sanford's hard work with the Stars and the Toros paid off, with his appointment to the PA announcing for the Spurs.
"It was surreal how it went down so quickly from the fall of 2011 to now being in this position," Sanford said. "That doesn't happen often — I was virtually an unknown, in terms of work, who was thankfully given a shot to make #his dream come true."
As expected, his first full season with the Spurs was nothing less than spectacular. Just days removed from the team's fifth NBA championship, victory celebrations and the experience as serving as the PA announcer during an NBA Finals Championship series, the year-long journey and outcome is at times, hard to believe for Sanford.
"Knowing the road that we had to travel in the Western Conference, there was no way of knowing that we would make it back to the finals," Sanford said. "However, knowing the group that we have on the floor every night and the leadership of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili and the others, you just got the sense that if we were to stay injury-free that we'd have a good chance at it. This particular title, I think, is more endearing all-around considering the heartbreak of last season — Duncan has eluded to it and I think it's felt throughout the team, organization and the city."
Under Popovich, the Spurs have been known as a well-oiled machine — a team that plays selflessly, with calm leadership, a strong work ethic and an attitude of good sportsmanship that prevails. Sanford said the mindset and qualities shared by the team are also found throughout the entire Spurs organization.
"At Spurs Sports and Entertainment, which encompasses our entire organization, we believe in integrity, caring and success, and it touches every part of the San Antonio Spurs," Sanford said. "It's a philosophy that's shared from ticket sales, security, game operations staff to the coaches and players. Everyone lives it, believes it and brings it to whatever their role is in the organization. If you come into the company and are not willing to have that philosophy, you won't be here long. We believe in setting positive examples for everyone around us."
A father of five children, Sanford and his wife are busy in the post-final days moving to a new home in Austin. He still continues his ministry work through the Lads to Leaders organization — an organization designed to develop youth into future leaders in the local church and community.
In reflection of his trek to make his adolescent dream into a reality, Sanford stated that anyone aspiring to make their dreams come true should never believe it's unattainable.
"If someone has a dream to do something in life, they should set a goal and never believe it's too lofty," Sanford said. "Always continue to believe that you'll find a way to do what it is you've dreamed of doing, and prepare for opportunities. You always have to be ready so when the chance comes, you're ready to take it."

Mission: To provide effective and rapid-response aerial support for law enforcement and emergency services.
The San Juan County Sheriff's Office Air Support Unit is the only airborne law enforcement asset in the Four Corners region. We operate two Bell OH-58A+ helicopters in support of local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement and emergency services in multiple cities, counties and states. Some of the services that we provide are: support of patrol, search and rescue, suspect searches, missing/endangered person searches, pursuits, and supporting SWAT operations.
An aircrew in a helicopter can very quickly search an area 30 times larger than an officer on the ground can. This ends searches quickly and reduces the manpower required. The SJCSO Air Support Unit has been responsible for many violent fugitive apprehensions, which would otherwise have resulted in escape. No suspect has ever escaped when one of our helicopters was involved in an active vehicle pursuit. We have located a considerable number of stolen vehicles and numerous bodies in remote locations, that otherwise may not have been found for a prolonged period of time, if ever. We have rescued several people in situations that would have resulted in serious injury or death if a helicopter was not involved.

B & B Liquor located on 28th in GR. A bit out of the way and pretty hard to get to as 28th is one of the worst/busiest streets in GR.
A-Pretty small liquor store that has some home-brew equipment as well. One single aisle of shelf and a single aisle of cold case beers. Additionally has a walk-in that holds some overflow. Very small shop, hard to navigate if there is more than a few people.
S-Non-existent service. Clerk greeted me but no offer for help or questions.
S-The best aspect is their knack for having some older beers that may be passed over (vertical epics, Stone RIS , etc.) and some others that fly off the shelf at more popular shops (WWS). There are definitely some very, very old bottles there (Vintage Mad Hatter).
F-Limited snack selection
V-Very overpriced and they often hoard and re-release rare releases at later dates (KBS for $20 a bottle on NYE).

Grand Rapids has some nice bottle shops that offer a selection that fluctuates between good and great, B&B might just not be one of them. The owner and rest of the staff aren't that knowledgeable and generally aren't the nicest people.
I could deal with all that if they had a good selection and if the product wasn't priced way outside of general reason-ability, but that combined with low end and old home brewing supplies and equipment really culminates in a place that I don't like going to.

Atmosphere: A small store with limited space. The aisles are narrow and there isn't a whole lot of room to move around. Not really a whole lot to speak off, no signs displaying newer or sale items.
Quality: Half the beers are displayed on a shelf, and the other half is in singles in a cooler. There is also a walk in cooler with assorted six packs of craft and then some BMC. It doesn't seem like they move a ton of beer, as some bottles are pretty dusty.
Service: Service is almost non-existent, which I am okay with. The store is small so there isn't much to miss or need help with. Stopped in yesterday and talked for 20 minutes or so with a gentleman who works there and is mentioned a couple other times in these reviews (works on Wednesday nights), and also like some others, I am not a fan.
Selection: Lots of Michigan locals, and also a variety of some Belgians and some stuff from out of state as well. Not anything here super rare or something I can't find anywhere else. Selection is pretty similar every time I stop in.
Value: Definitely the most expensive micro store that I regularly visit. A couple things that really made me question this store are some six packs that an employee (mentioned in this post) said could not be broken down into singles because they are "too expensive" ?? and also some aged stuff that, IMO, was just ridiculously overpriced.

Another accidental find while in MI!! I got turned around on 28th street thanks to my GPS and ended up in the shopping center where this place is located...destiny? Maybe not...
As mentioned below...you get smacked in the face with incense...wow...like walking into a Yankee Candle place...ugh...
The beer selection seems to be a bit random, but above average. Some room temp. stuff, some stuff in coolers, more in a walk-in cooler. Nothing jumped out at me...
Seems like a pretty good place to check out every now and again...I did leave empty handed.

Had Sweem not known where he was going, we probably would have passed right by this place. It was tucked back in strip mall-type place with weak signage for how busy the main drag there is. An interesting slogan for a liquor (heavily beer filled) store was "Specialty Party Shop". Huh?
It must be known I was already going in with low expectations after hearing Sweem's story of being reamed by the owner for entering a wide-open back room filled with beer. I mean, you're a beer store, if you've got a room completely full of awesome beer with a door wide open leading to it, which beergeek would NOT go in there? That pissed me off a little bit. Especially to hear that the owner said they didn't have a particular beer when it was stocked in the back. I witnessed this door propped open myself on our visit. Either close the door and post a sign saying "Employees Only" or don't be a dick when people walk in there thinking it's an addition to your selection.
Anyway, we walked in and were blasted with a massive aroma of incense like a slap to the face. It didn't smell bad at all, but it was way overly potent. It's not something I want to a) leave smelling like, which I feel like I did, or b) leave with product that's been sitting in that aroma forever. Loose the incense lady.
The place was rather small but packed with goodies. Just inside the right corner was a supply of home brewing stuff from books to hoses, sanitizers to fully functional kits, and a glass front fridge with hops and yeast which was part of the whole cooler. Small in scale but it appeared as if everything was in order and you could find just about everything you'd need. This bumped the selection up the extra .5.
The beer selection on the other hand was also nice, but questionable. Giant wire shelving which held all the home brewing goods also held a decent amount of beer. Most of it was Belgian stuff...but the front door. Why do people insist on this? There were two of the absolutely massive bottles of Double Bastard as well as Samichlaus. Somewhere around $90 a bottle for Double Bastard. Lots of Unibroue there with a large selection of big bottles from Ommegang, Southern Tier, Lagunitas, Goose Island Night Stalker, Breckenridge, Rogue, Avery, Flying Dog, and the list goes on. A whole row of six packs contained just about everything you could want on the lower part of the wooden shelves with larger bottles on the upper parts. The walk-in cooler had a lot of BMC stuff with chilled six packs and the sort. One thing I noticed in there was a bottle of Jacobsen Saaz Blonde for $7.59. I don't know if this is normal but when I got it from Binny's a while back (not on sale) it was under $4. On the same hand, six packs of Hopslam were $17.99 each which is lower than most places.
The fridges surrounding the walk-in cooler had Imports, singles, and other things mixed in there. The imports seemed pretty typical ranging from Franziskaner, Krucovice, Samuel Smith's, Tucher, Kwak, Fullers, and a number of others.
My main issue comes into play when quality is taken into consideration. When looking through the good bottle selection I noticed most everything in large bottles on the top were both bathed in fluorescent light and caked in dust. Not a good sign. The second indication to be extra careful when selecting beers from B&B Liquors was the fact that I immediately saw a six pack of one of my favorite beers; Grassroots Ale from Great Lakes. "Is it out already?" I asked myself.
Nope. This six pack is still on shelves from last year. Wayyyy beyond it's best-by date. And of course, lastly, I took issue with the crazy amount of aged stuff that Sweem saw in the back. Are they storing beer for personal consumption here? Or just aging it to sell it at a seriously jacked up price? Or just sell it regularly but in possible poor condition?
All these questions I considered leading me to really worry about the condition most of their beers are in. I grabbed two or three singles of local stuff I had not seen else-where, checked for a date, and headed to the counter. The owner seemed nice enough to me, but the attitude she got with Sweem for an unfair reason was already enough to make me wonder.
I wouldn't tell anyone to avoid this location but customers should be extra careful when picking beers out here. Always check for bottle dates and pull from the back if possible. Otherwise the selection is good!

Finally went in and visited this place after driving by it so many times.
A decent selection of local and imported stuff that most places have. It has a walk-in cooler that keeps most of the stuff nice and cold for you.
They have a sign saying that if you cant find what you are looking for, ask, and they might have it (see the following paragraph about this). Their prices are a little more expensive than most, but I did manage to find some nice aged stuff there.
My biggest gripe with the place is this:
When I went in, the back door into their storage room was propped open with a heavy box. . . they had mountains of awesome aged beers that I would have paid top dollar for. Being my first time in there I walked in assuming it was just another room of the store since the door was open, when the proprietor scolded me and told me to get out I of course obeyed & immediately apologized. I felt bad about it but I continued my shopping. When I asked about a particular beer I didnt find on their shelves, they said they didnt have it in stock. . . well, I happened to have seen that they had cases of the latest release of it in that back room. . .
Are they aging stuff on purpose & then putting it on the shelves later? You turned away a customer that would have paid alot of $ for those beers in the back, but then go and say you dont have it in stock was very discouraging for me. I immediately went over to Siciliano's and bought it instead since they actually had it out on their shelves.
Overall, a nice place, but I look elsewhere.

Good selection of bottle with a small selection of homebrew supplies. This is the only place that I have been able to find Sam Adams Imp Pilsner in the GR area. and have found some interesting thing that I have not seen at other places around.
I have never had any real contact with anyone working there other then getting checked out. But, they seem friendly and it is kinda nice not being bothered when your trying to pick out beer.
They have pre-made custom six packs that follow a style, they often look interesting but slightly over priced (have never gotten one).

Good selection of local micros and some imports. Reasonable enough prices. Good selection of items I can not get in North Carolina, midwestern and some northeastern microbrews. Every once in a while you find an old vintage. This past winter I picked up some blackout stout from 2007. Yes only 2 years old, but things don't usually last that long in stores. Nice relaxed cozy place. Basically if you're on 28th street, you need to stop here.
I will agree with the last reviewer however, the old man is pretty much an ass. His daughter(I'm assuming) is a delight however. The prices have went up, but they match everywhere else around town pretty much.

Sports injuries in children and adolescents are on the rise as more kids participate in sports. It is not uncommon for your child to have at least one sports-related injury by the time he/she graduates from high school.
Sprains are injuries to ligaments, which connect bones in a joint. A sudden stretch of ligaments beyond their limits can deform or tear them. Strains are injuries to muscle fibers, or tendons, which anchor muscles to bones. Over-stretching or overusing a muscle causes tears in the tendons.
Every sporting activity should start with a gentle warm-up to help prevent common injuries. Warming up increases blood flow to the muscles and makes them more flexible; which might decrease some injuries. Proper equipment and protective gear, training, muscle strengthening and balance control all help prevent many sports-related injuries.
The most common injury in athletes is a sprained ankle. This typically occurs when the foot turns inward. The turning stretches or tears the ligaments on the outside of the ankle, which is relatively weak. With an ankle sprain, exercise therapy is necessary to retain flexibility and strength and avoid re-injury. Ask your doctor or physical therapist to teach you appropriate exercises for your condition. It is important to note where the sprain has occurred. A high ankle sprain is slower to heal and should probably be seen by a doctor to make sure the bones in the lower leg did not separate. One way to recognize a high ankle sprain is finding tenderness higher above the ankle.
Swelling is a normal response to injuries, although excessive swelling can reduce range of motion and interfere with healing. Usually, common sports injuries are mild or moderate — there may be some damage, but everything remains in the same place. You should expect that some common sports injuries may take months to heal, even with good treatment.
Use the PRICE acronym to help you remember what to do immediately after an injury:
P — Protect the injured area with a splint, pad or crutch.
R — Restrict activity to prevent further injury.
I — Ice quickly and frequently, but do not apply ice directly to skin. The general rule is 15 minutes on ice, then 15 minutes off the ice with no heat for 24 hours.
C — Compress the injured area with an elastic bandage to reduce swelling.
E — Elevate the injured area above the heart to reduce swelling.
See a doctor if you suspect a serious injury or if you have any of these signs: deformities in the joint or bone, inability to bear weight, injury is giving way, excessive swelling, changes in skin color beyond mild bruising, no improvement with over-the-counter pain relievers and no improvement after PRICE therapy.

I'd really recommend considering the TS-E 90mm f/2.8 for food/product photography - it's really the lens of choice for that application. The problem with a macro lens is DoF - it's either too thin, or you have to stop down well into apertures narrow enough to soften the image with diffraction. The tilt feature of a TS-E lens gives you control over DoF, and allows you to get a deeper DoF at wider apertures.
+1 on this.
I've been using the non-L 100 for food photography recently, and as long as it's on a tripod, it's amazingly sharp. At 1:1, it can be a little too much detail, with every piece of fuzz, every spec of dust, every pore visible. But to get more than a couple of inches of sharp DoF, I need to stop it down to F13+. I haven't really seen the image quality degrade much, but it does make the flashes work harder, or forces an ISO bump. This is why I'm seriously considering the TS-E 90 now.

A Twin City police officer died in a crash Friday night while fleeing from law enforcement, according to Georgia State Patrol.
Dillon Gay, 20, was off duty when he crashed on Highway 25 in Millen during the chase, according to the Georgia State Highway Patrol. Gay was ejected from the truck and died from his injuries.
The chase started in Jenkins County around 6:30 p.m., according to the Jenkins County Sheriff's Office. Deputies were searching for a missing man in Millen when Gay came driving by at a high rate of speed and forced some cars off the road.
Georgia State Patrol said Gay was driving about 90 mph through the town. A trooper was able to force Gay off the road, causing him to crash.
Georgia State Patrol is investigating the crash.
Troopers say Gay worked for the Twin City Police Department for about three months.

A nice gesture can go a long way.
That's why one Minot organization is sharing the love just in time for Valentine's Day.
Minot's American Legion Auxiliary is continuing its tradition of making valentines for veterans in the area.
The valentines are hand-crafted by the auxiliary and volunteers.
The valentines are sent to nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, the Minot Air Force Base, and other places in the area.
So far, about 80 valentines have been completed, but the auxiliary is looking for volunteers to make even more to distribute.
The valentines pair well with another auxiliary valentine project--heart-shaped pillows.
Those will be given to heart patients at the veterans hospital in Fargo.
One auxiliary member says the veterans appreciate the kind messages.
(Carol Crabbe, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 26)"A lot of these veterans in veterans homes don't have a lot of people coming to see them. But if they know someone's thinking about it. And I think there's a big appeal when the school children do it. The fact that a little child will make them something is very important to them.">>
The deadline to donate valentines is January 28th.
You can either drop them off at the Salvation Army or you can call 839-8591.

What's black and white and seated front row at Paris fashion week?
Celebs, of course.
One of the major trends which reigned supreme at the Spring 2013 shows was black and white, ranging from mod 60s looks at Prada and Louis Vuitton, stripes at Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana and Michael Kors, and classic pieces at Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Saint Laurent, with Alexander Wang, Balmain, Narciso Rodriguez, Victoria Beckham, Jil Sander, and Moschino also sending solid, patterned or striped black-and-white looks down the runway.
The celebs who have championed this trend this week were Nicole Richie, who attended both the Stella McCartney and Givenchy shows in black and white, and Jessica Alba, who also rocked the trend at Stella McCartney and Valentino.
Chanel's front row is one place we shouldn't be surprised to see celebs showcasing this Spring 2013 trend. The elegant Jessica Chastain wore a white ruffled blouse with a pencil skirt, while Milla Jovovich rocked a masculine black-and-white pant look.
Usually one to start trends, Anna Dello Russo also took to the front row at Chanel wearing a playful black-and-white look, which would've been better suited to Elle Fanning, methinks.
The best thing about this trend is that it's easy to wear and affordable. You can rock it with the simplest staples, like vest tops, tees, skirts, pants and dresses.
Stripes might be the hardest look to rock; take it too far and you could end up looking like you are wearing prison stripes.

There are now multiple reports that Auburn has hired Ellis Johnson as its defensive coordinator.
Johnson was believed to be the top candidate for Florida State.
A source connected with Johnson and the search told me yesterday that Johnson knew that he would be pursued by Florida State, but that Auburn could pay considerably more.
This jives with what I wrote yesterday and last week:
Johnson will be 61 by Christmas. He is an excellent coach of defense, and isn't going to be getting a major head coaching job even if he had a great two-year run at Florida State.
And because of that, money is going to be more important to Johnson than it might be some defensive coordinators. Auburn, Tennessee and Arkansas could pay Johnson about 50-percent more than Florida State could. For that reason, don't expect Johnson to commit to Florida State before those are filled.
If the reports are true, this would be one of the first instances after the new TV deals of a mid-level (not a top-five job) SEC school being able to outbid Florida State for a coach (though I personally do not think this is a new phenomenon).
We'll be discussing this more in the off-season, and will have more DC discussion later today.

The Supreme Court heard opening arguments for and against California's controversial Prop 8 on Tuesday, and it's an emotional issue being watched closely across the nation, including in Minnesota.
Some have paid thousands of dollars to be able to watch the proceedings in person, but others are getting updates any way they can -- in print, on television and online.
"I think it's progress for the entire country," said Paul Melchert.
Like a lot of parents, Melchert and James Zimmerman spend most evenings watching their sons, Emmet and Gabriel; however, they are also keeping a close eye on the highest court in the country because their marriage of seven years isn't recognized in Minnesota, where they live.
"If one of us passes, what are the legal ramifications of that?" Melchert wondered aloud. "We hope we never have to find out because we don't have legal protection under the law as other married couples do."
In Minnesota, marriage equality has been a hot topic since a ballot initiative that would have established constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage failed in November, but people from across the country are watching to see what the Supreme Court will do.
In fact, some people camped out for up to a week and tickets to watch the justices hear arguments on whether or not California's voter-approved ban of same-sex marriage should be upheld were going for up to $6,000.
Now that the case is under review, the nation's highest court could do anything of the following:
Throw the case out entirely
Issue a ruling that only affects California
Strike down Prop 8 and similar bans in 39 states across the country
The historic hearings even went viral on social media, where pink and red equal signs from the Human Rights Campaign could be seen on all platforms -- especially after gay celebrities like George Takei and Lance Bass changed their profile pictures to show their support.
Yet, opponents of gay marriage say lawmakers currently awaiting a bill in Minnesota that would legalize same-sex marriage say legislators should wait to see the Supreme Court's ruling before voting here.
"It shows there shouldn't be a rush into this," said Autumn Leva, of Minnesota for Marriage. "There are so many effects of completely rewriting marriage policy and the Legislature. It should give them some pause."
As for Melchert, he said he can't wait for the day when the law will reflect what he knows in his heart -- that a family is a family no matter what it looks like.
"Marriage equality is great for everyone -- great for our state, great for our economy -- for our families," he said.

depends on the number and size of loads you want to run at the same
time. If a house uses natural gas (or propane) for heat and hot
water, a 4,000 to 6,000 watt generator can maintain a high level
of comfort (assuming natural gas or propane is available). A house
using an electric furnace and electric water heater may need a generator
in the 20,000 to 35,000 watt range.
Generator size can be
estimated by determining the major loads to be supplied and allowing
some overhead for convenience appliances (television, computer,
etc.). Some of the most common major loads are listed below (these
are average numbers and can vary):
blower motor (propane/natural gas heat)
- 2,000 watts
pump (1 horsepower)
- 5,000 watts
heater (electric)
- 5,000 watts
- ???
- ???
By manually switching
loads off and on, the owner can ensure that only one major load
is running at a time. This can allow a smaller generator to be used.
to top)
A manual
transfer switch is a panel wired into the house electrical distribution
system that allows a generator to be used to supply power. It prevents
the generator from back feeding the utility and reduces the potential
for lineman injury.
simplest and lowest cost method is to run extension cords from the
generator to the loads to be supplied. If the generator is to be
connected to household wiring, an approved method of isolating the
house electrical system from utility must be used. A manual or automatic
transfer switch can be wired into the distribution system to allow
the use of existing household wiring and receptacles. A three position,
whole service disconnect (knife switch) can also be used to isolate
the house electrical system from the utility.
No. However,
if the generator is to be connected to the house electrical system,
an approved means of isolating the house from utility power is required.
This is to prevent the generator from back feeding the utility and
injuring the line workers that are trying to restore power. Significant
damage can result from the generator being on line when utility
power is restored.
can vary depending on many factors. Typical installations can start
at $800 to $1500 for a surface mounted switch located near the main
distribution panel. Most transfer switches come with clear documentation
and can be installed by the owner in about two hours for the cost
of a permit. Some factors affecting cost include:
No. In
concept this may seem like a good idea, but is not advisable for
the following reasons:
Yes. Most
utilities maintain this type of information and make it available
to the line workers that will be working in the area. Power restoration
can be delayed while line workers check to see if a generator is
being properly used. Having this information beforehand can reduce
these delays.
depends on many factors - shelf life, cost, storage location, availability,
etc. See What are the advantages and disadvantages
of the different fuel types? for more information on the different
No. Converting
the Onan portable generators to propane is a one way conversion.
The carburetor float and choke assembly are removed, the mixing
chamber modified, and the gasoline supply line removed during the
conversion. The fuel tank is left on the unit to maintain its appearance
and to provide some weather protection during outdoor use.
depends on two factors. Larger tanks offer longer run times between
refueling, and on site delivery of fuel may be available for tanks
larger than 100 gallons. Small tanks like those used on barbecue
grills allow several hours of operation and are easy to transport
for filling at fuel stations.
Yes, with
some minor modifications. The natural gas quick disconnect fitting
on the hose will need to be removed and replaced with a propane
pressure regulator and tank fitting. The air-fuel mixing valve will
need to be adjusted for proper operation (or backfiring will result).
Engine speed will need to be adjusted to provide proper output frequency.
No. Onan
does not produce a propane or natural gas generator kit. Instead,
the generators are converted at a Cummins, Northwest facility. This
is a program researched and developed by Cummins Northwest. The
original warranty will still be honored, and failures resulting
from the conversion will be backed by Cummins Northwest as if they
were covered by the original warranty. Controlling the quality of
the conversions allows us to ensure that all conversions are performed
the same way to simplify future repairs and reduce the possibility
of failure.
depends on the size of the tank and amount of load on the generator.
Higher loads require more fuel. A 6000E portable will run for 9
hours at rated load. A 5000E portable will run for 11 hours at rated
load, and a 4000E will run for 13 hours at rated load. Many users
average 10 to 15 hours on a 6000E under normal usage. A conservative
rule of thumb is one gallon of fuel per hour for a 5,000 watt generator.
fueled portables use a slightly larger amount of fuel than their
gasoline counterparts.
there is no set answer for this question. The Onan portables are
designed for long life, heavy duty operation, and long run times.
Gasoline units should be shut down during refueling to reduce the
potential for starting a fire by spilling gasoline on hot exhaust
components. The oil level should be checked and the unit inspected
for signs of fatigue or abnormalities (cracked receptacles, etc.)
before restarting.
One of the
advantages of natural gas and large propane tanks is the longer
run time between refueling. However, the generator should still
be periodically shut down, the oil level checked, and the unit physically
The Onan
portables have low oil pressure protection, but frequently checking
the oil level will help spot excessive oil consumption problems
The answer
to this question is similar to How long will
a generator run on a tank of fuel?. The generator should be
shut down and inspected daily or when refueling. If long periods
of no load or light load operation are expected (such as during
the night when everyone is sleeping), the generator could be shut
down to extend the useful life of the generator and reduce fuel
No. Some
of the most important features of a portable generator are size
and weight. Diesel engines typically weigh more and are physically
larger than their gasoline counterparts. Another important factor
is cost. Small air cooled gasoline engines are used in many more
applications than small air cooled diesel engines. This helps to
reduce the cost of the engine, lowering the cost of the portable
No. A
10,000 watt generator requires a larger generator and engine than
a 6,000 watt generator. In order to keep the size and weight of
a 10,000 watt generator at a manageable level, it is necessary to
use the smallest engine and lightest components. This can reduce
the useable lifetime and reliability of the product.
Unlike other
portable generator manufacturers, Onan produces generators from
2,000 watts to several megawatts. If a customer is looking for that
level of power output, it may be beneficial to consider switching
to a full fledged standby unit. If cost is a driving factor, carefully
reviewing the loads to be supplied may show that a 6,000 watt unit
is capable of doing the job with some basic load management.
The Onan
portables are designed for heavy duty commercial use, where long
life and reliability are very important. To meet these objectives,
it is necessary to use only the best components, which does raise
the cost of the product. This also allows Onan to provide the longest
warranty available for portable generators (3 years) and the option
to purchase two years of additional warranty at a reasonable retail
cost of $75.
79 dBA at 7 meters at rated load. Average noise levels are usually
in the 75 dBA range.
portable generators use an air cooled engine operating at 3600 RPM
with little or no noise attenuation features. Engines of the same
horsepower will produce roughly the same noise level. Onan portable
generators use a larger engine for a given wattage than most other
generator manufacturers. This increases the life of the product,
but does produce slightly more noise. Normally this noise difference
is negligible, and the increased product life is worth the trade-off.
There are
portable generators with sound attenuation features that are quieter
than their non-attenuated counterparts. These units are usually
more expensive and may trade off a lower noise level for other important
panels around the generator to reduce noise levels is not advisable.
The engine is air cooled, and restricting the access of cool air
to the engine will reduce the life of the engine. Placing a barrier
between you and the noise can deflect a majority of the high frequency
noise and reduce noise levels. A simple sand filled cinder block
wall the height of the generator can significantly reduce noise
levels (taking care not to reduce cooling airflow).
No. The
addition of extra exhaust components does not significantly reduce
the overall noise level of the unit.
Yes. Recommended? No.
Adding additional components to the exhaust system can increase
backpressure and does not significantly reduce noise levels.
Flexible exhaust extensions are available in many auto parts stores.
Care should be taken to limit the length of the extension to minimize
exhaust back pressure.
is not recommended. Portable generators are designed for outdoor
use. Running them indoors presents the following problems:
as long as the generator is taken out of the enclosure when operating
it. Access to cooling air is vital to the proper operation of the
engine. Portable generators do not have large cooling fans and are
unable to circulate air in confined spaces. They rely on the natural
circulation of heat resulting when the hot air rises away from the
engine and is replaced by cool air.
portable generators are designed for continuous heavy duty commercial
use where long life and reliable operation is vital. This is accomplished
by using proven manufacturing techniques and top quality components.
Many corners could be cut to reduce the cost of the unit, but there
would be a tradeoff in the life of the product. The Onan product
is backed by the largest service and parts network in the area.
Other manufactures may require the product be sent back to them
for repair which can take several weeks to perform.
The larger
Onan home standby generators use liquid cooled engines that require
belts, hoses, pumps, thermostats, etc. They are mounted on steel
frames and come with weather protective enclosures. They have a
more complex control system and have two-wire auto start capability.
The warranty for the home standby generators covers travel time
and mileage.
starting loads on a portable generator, the larger loads should
be started first. A 4,000 watt portable can easily start a one horsepower
pump. The 5,000 watt and 6,000 watt generators are capable of starting
up to a three horsepower pump.
The Onan portable generators use a manual, three-wire, start/stop
system with no provision for automatic starter disconnect.

Wearing something she may or may not have been papped wearing while stepping out of her NYC apartment. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Taylor Swift is a mystery now. She's been posting clues on Twitter: an elevator button to the 18th floor and a cat tucked away on a shelf at 5pm.
What else could it mean?
She's due to release her 5th album, for starters. But this is the way now. It's like we don't know we want to be teased until we're being teased. You know what this means though, right?
Sex And The City-Girls: The Taylor Swift Years …
It's about to begin.
She's moved to New York. She's entering her mid-20s. She's hanging out with models and there hasn't been a boyfriend in a long time (by her standards). Carrie Bradshaw and Hannah Horvath have merged. Read Full Intro
Selena's Champagne Birthday and Swift well-wishes
FameFlynet, Splash
Today is July 22. It's also Selena Gomez's champagne birthday. I love a champagne birthday. Apparently she's celebrating in Saint Tropez with her new best friend Cara Delevingne. They're on a massive yacht. Fitting for a champagne birthday, right? And here's something Taylor Swift just posted on Instagram: No time for girl sh-t on a champagne birthday? Or…is Taylor trying to tell us she's the bigger one? So far, no birthday messages from Justin Bieber. Full Story
I can be friends with a model, too
FameFlynet, Splash
Taylor Swift has been living her New York life, hanging with her New York friends – among them Karlie Kloss, the model. As you know, things have been strained between Taylor and Selena Gomez, supposedly over Justin Bieber and also Selena's behaviour and habits. And now Selena's like, well I can be friends with a model, too! She was photographed today in Saint Tropez with Cara Delevingne. Full Story
Taylor Swift's "In Bed"
AKM-GSI /Splash News
Do you remember that dumb "in bed" game? Don't lie. You do. I know it's supposed to be played with fortune cookies and I also know almost everyone only plays in reference to a 90210 episode. Ugh. Brandon. But I couldn't stop thinking about it in the context of this Taylor Swift article that inexplicably appears in the Wall Street Journal. Full Story

Good news for girls everywhere… Justin Bieber can't keep them apart. Not for long. After an estrangement that lasted almost half a year, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez made up at the MET Gala last night. And they wanted to let you know about it right away. Or they wanted to let him know about it right away. Full Story
The Friend Collector
FameFlynet, MEP/ North Woods/ Splash
Many of you have emailed lately about Taylor Swift's New York life – the Spring Fashion Show she puts on every day and, in particular, how she's been friend-collecting in the city: Lena Dunham, Karlie Kloss, Hailee Steinfeld, Cara Delevingne, and more. I dunno. When you're 23 years old and living in one of the most exciting cities in the world, isn't that what you do? But, but, but… Lainey, she flaunts it because the paps are always taking pictures! You're either a Taylor hater or a Taylor apologist. Full Story
Springtime with Taylor Swift
FameFlynet, Splash
It's gorgeous in New York today. I f-cking love it here. But if you didn't know how nice it is, Taylor Swift will show you. She wore a springtime dress while out in the city. She wore a springtime headband and carried her bag like a basket. And the flowerbeds just appeared. Can you imagine life like that? Every day is a fairy tale turned into a video. Full Story
On different coasts
FameFlynet, JDH Imagez/ Splash
Taylor Swift did not show at Coachella. She spent time in New York instead. At her new apartment. Making an appearance on SNL. And hanging with all her model friends like Karlie Kloss. Also, Lena Dunham was papped leaving her building yesterday. Her ex-BFF Selena Gomez meanwhile continues to spend time with Kanye West's fiance's family. Full Story
Taylor's stiff bang
Trying to decide whether or not I'm feeling Taylor Swift's stiff feathered bang at the ACM Awards last night. It's super 80s. And I'm always down for some super 80s steeze. Throw a black bow around that sh-t and suddenly we're Desperately Seeking Susan. Thing is…I'm not sure Taylor gets it. Full Story

First off for my money the line of Narragansett beer are the best bang for their buck out there,six top notch 16oz cans of a good maibock for I paid can't be beat.Poured into a half liter stein a rich copper/bronze with a large billowing white head,just a great crown that settles into a creamy mass after a short time.Doughy with caramel notes in the nose,real defined sharp leafy hops really play a role as well.Caramel and tosted pizza crust flavors with a tinge anise meld into a quite a leafy hopped up finish.The drinkability of this spring bock is off the charts,I have paid as much if not more for a few beers of the same style that don't hold up to this,a great beer.

16oz tallboy!! No freshness date.
Suds reach high and lacing is epic with a shiny copper clarity beneath. Subtle aroma of Oily, herbal and leafy hoppiness that rests on a fresh cut grass and bready maltiness. Just enough crispness to cut through the creamy medium body that seems to have a bit of heft to it but not too heavy to detract from its drinkablility. Wave of malt sweetness brings fresh baked shortbread and crackers to mind. Hops are a bit aggressive with a more drawn out bitterness rather than a quick sting, this later translates into a leafy herbal flavor. Hops stick to the palate just as long as the toasty character of the malt does even when the dry finish wants to end things.
Wow ... I'll be hunting for cases very soon. One of the best spring seasonals I have run into in years.

2.68/5 rDev -30%
Appearance: high carbonation, 1/4 inch head, orange-brown in color, clear
Smell: toasted malt and faint orange
Taste: toasted malt, caramel, and floral hops
Mouthfeel: sweet with a slightly bitter backbone, medium-high carbonation, light body, very dry
Overall: In the cans I got, the hops actually came through a bit too much. This one is a one and done for me. I wanted a bit more balance. This almost tasted more like an English pale ale.

Narragansett's Bock opens to a malty, yeasty nose with a fair bit of sugar for balance. Most noticeable is an overarching malt aroma, as of boiling grains and starches, the beer smelling much like the interior of a brewery. Wet wheat, yeasty wheat dough, toast, floury baguette, and Grape Nuts cereal dominate here, joined by brown sugars and a few light fruit esters, including berry, orange, peach, and lemon/lime, as well as a touch of fig. The grains also add the smell of grain silos, and the hops bring in light pink grapefruit. As a whole, the aromas are good, the thick grains adding a nice earthy tone that is matched by fruits and sugars. The nose is rather light, and does somewhat come off as a zesty fruit spritzer, the darker brown sugar and fig notes needing more oomph, but still savory.
On the tongue, the beer begins with a sweet rush of brown sugar, pink grapefruit, and berry, orange, and apricot fruit esters, as well as hints of fig. The grains come in next, adding a yeasty, malty undercurrent of rising bread dough, toast crust, Grape Nuts cereal, and wet wheat. The darker notes are larger here than on the nose, the fig and malt adding nice depth and complexity to what would otherwise be overly sweet and grainy. In subsequent sips, however, much of this complexity is lost, the flavors simply not strong enough, and what remains is largely grainy and yeasty, held back by straight brown sugar. The aftertaste is heavily grainy, with bits of lemony bitter hops, and at least the hops linger on the tongue for a good while. Mouthfeel is medium-light to medium, and carbonation is medium to medium-high, fizzing up on the tongue.
Overall, this is decent fare, and for the price and size, not to mention the 6.5% ABV, good value. It's also very drinkable and smooth, with nice layers of grains and sugars. In the end, however, it's rather light, coming across not as watery, but simply weak, the flavors fading out quickly over the course of even a few sips. This is not to say that it's bad beer, but that a few more handfuls of grains in the mash would have certainly gone over well.

16 oz can into a pint glass. Cheap beer to boot!
Dead on amber color with nice carbonation, two finger white head that produces minimal lacing.
Bready smells with some sweet malt. Noble hops in the back.
Starts bready and malty, tastes like a lighter version of Hofbrau's Maibock. Caramel malts without much fruitiness. Transitions in the slightly spicy and herbal hop notes at the end.
Slightly wet and medium bodied. Carbonation tingles good.
One pint easily goes down on a moderately warm (50 degrees) spring day. Alcohol concealed and its basic enough where drinking it isn't a complication. Good job, 'Gansett!

Can shared by Joe – thanks!
Pours a clear golden-brown color with a half-finger white head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of sweet light malts with good amounts of light, earthy hops. Also present are slight hints of medium fruits.
Tastes similar to how it smells, although the sweetness is a bit stronger. Crisp light malt flavors kick things off and quickly sweeten through to the midpoint of the sip. Slight earthy hop flavors come into play then, carrying through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with solid carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I didn't have any problems finishing my glass and could have another.
Overall this beer was very close to being a very good bock, it was just the tiny bit of sweetness that overdid it for me. Still, a solid beer for the style that's worth a shot.

16oz can poured into a snifter.
A: Pours a clear darkish amber with a solid 2 finger off white head. Not very much visible carbonation. The head becomes a little rocky and slowly dissipates over the course of a few minutes leaving some spots of lace on the glass.
S: Sweet carmel and crackery, bready malts dominate the aroma. Just a hint of hops in the background.
T: This beer has quite an authentic German bock taste. Certainly on the sweeter side with loads of carmel malts. Also as with the smell there is a biscuity bready characteristic that is pleasant.
M: For the sweetness it really isnt too sticky. Medium bodied with fairly low carbonation. Perhaps a tad thin but that adds to its drinkability.
Overall I was not expecting such a flavorful and easy drinking beer. Certainly want to pick up some more of these. Would recommend it to any bock fan.

16oz can into a standard pint glass. I'm quickly becoming very fond of Narragansett, and this one doesn't disappoint in the least.
A - 'Gansett bock pours a a nice and deep copper color with a slim foamy off white head. Nice touches of lacing along the glass as well.
S - A touch of hoppiness and a sweet malt background comprise most of the aroma. I'm picking up a slight hint of alcohol as well. All around a solid nose on this one.
T - Malt sweetness upfront with a nice hop profile in the back. Hints of what to me seems like buttered popcorn. Toasted grains with hints of caramel. Really, really digging this one.
M - Light to medium body with a nice dry finish. Carbonation prickles the tongue.
O - An outstanding spring seasonal from the brewers at Narragansett. A wonderful beer for such a good price, this one is a no brainer.

3.4/5 rDev -11.2%
A - clear gold with a huge, off white had that is thick and dense; great retention
S - sweet, biscuity, grainy
T - bready, creamy, a bit diacetylic, sweet, grainy, faintly grassy, very mild hop bitterness
M - medium bodied, a bit thin at times, well carbonated
I'm a bit disappointed in this beer. It has promise as most of the traditional bock characteristics are present, but it has some off notes that detract terribly from the overall flavor. It's still drinkable even if I am a bit distracted. I will probably avoid this in the future.

Just saw this one today at my local bottle shop. Poured into a Smithwicks Draught mug and was rewarded with a nice off white collar of rocky foam about 3 fingers high sitting over clear medium amber/gold beer. I get sweet malt, a nutty, and grassy note, fragrant and flowery yet subtle hoppiness in the nose. Average mouthfeel. Superbly balanced, neither very sweet or very bitter...layer of malt backing gives way to the hop bitterness, just enough to let you know it's there but not the dominant flavor. Finishes flowery-bitter with a biscuity flourish. Very nice take on the Bock style and well worth the effort to find it. Love the can graphics too. See it? Buy it!

Four Hofstra University basketball players were arrested Thursday and charged with committing multiple burglaries on campus, allegedly using their status as athletes to steal expensive electronics from other students' dorms.
Two of the team's leading scorers, Shaquille Stokes, a sophomore who hails from Manhattan, and Jimmy Hall, a freshman from Brooklyn, were charged with the crimes along with two other freshmen players, Kentrell Washington, of Las Vegas, and Dallas Anglin, of Montclair, N.J.
Throughout the 2012 Fall semester, students on Hofstra University's campus in Hempstead have been reporting an increasing number of lost, misplaced and stolen items, mainly Apple electronic devices including iPods, iPads, iPhones and MacBook laptops, according to police.
"They were unsure of whether the items were misplaced or stolen," Det. Lt. Ray Cote, of Nassau County Police's Third Squad, explained during a press conference Friday. "Some were reported, most were not."
But when one female student whose iPad had been stolen in early November logged into her Apple account Tuesday, she discovered that her missing device was now registered to another person -- Shaquille Stokes, a sophomore and guard on Hofstra's basketball team.
With the assistance of Hofstra Public Safety, Nassau County Police launched an investigation, interviewing numerous Hofstra students and staff, and was able to track Stokes' activity on campus using his student ID card, which students must swipe to gain access to different areas throughout campus.
Police connected Stokes to the stolen iPad and other electronic devices reported missing on campus, charging him with five counts of second-degree burglary. They also determined that Hall, Washington and Anglin were allegedly involved. Cote could not go into details but said the four students were found to be in possession of many of the stolen items.
Police charged Hall with four counts of second-degree burglary,Washington with two counts and Anglin with one count. Anglin was also charged with Tapering with Physical Evidence as cops say he attempted to discard of one of the stolen items shortly after being interviewed by police about these crimes.
The four student athletes allegedly stole the items from common areas and dorms in Alliance Hall, Enterprise Hall and Hofstra's graduate hall, often taking advantage of students who left the doors to their suites ajar.
"They are prominent figures on campus, being athletes, and because of their social status they would have access to dorm areas," Cote said. "They would get into areas, visiting one person, and while in that area, they would access a room that was unoccupied and take the electronic devices."
It was initially reported by police that they suspected the players' coach, Mo Cassara, was also one of their victims. Cassara reported that his iPad, iPhone and wallet, including cash and credit cards, were stolen while he was on campus.
Hofstra officials have now confirmed that Cassara reported to Hofstra Public Safety on May 11 these items were missing.
However, "none of the four individuals arrested today were on campus, nor were they members of the Hofstra community at that time," said Karla Schuster, assistant vice president of University Relations.
Cote said the students were attracted to Apple electronics for their high resale value. They were able to wipe out the devices' memory and then sell the items on Craigslist, on the street and on campus to fellow students, as well as pawn shops, using the money they gained "to live a more lavish lifestyle," he explained.
The value of the items they have been charged with stealing at this time exceeds $10,000, according to Cote, but police suspect this figure will increase as more victims come forward.
The four students were arraigned Friday morning in First District Court in Hempstead, entering not guilty pleas, and have been suspended from Hofstra University.
"Hofstra's Department of Public Safety has been working closely with the Nassau County Police Department since the investigation began," said Melissa Connolly, Hofstra University's vice president of University Relations, in a statement released to Patch. "Due to the nature of the charges, the four students have been immediately suspended from the University, including the basketball team, classes, residence halls and facilities, pending the outcome of the case."
Bail was set at $25,000 bond, $12,500 cash for Stokes; $20,000 bond, $10,000 cash for Hill; $10,000 bond, $5,000 cash, for Washington; and $4,000 bond, $2,000 cash for Anglin. All four are due back in court on Dec. 4.

Procrastinators hit the mall just hours before time ran out on Sunday.
Retailer like Macy's has been open since Friday morning, not locking the doors once.
While it was relatively quiet inside the store, there were a handful of shoppers in the store at any time, though.
Shopper Amanda Patton says she gets a rush off the last minute hustle.
"You don't have to bump in to anybody," She said. "Nobody is snatching anything out of your hand, and I can get what I need and go home."
Patton says you not only beat the crowds, but there is no traffic, plenty of parking and the discounts are still active.
"They have a one day pass and a good sale going on this morning," she said. "So, I am benefiting from that today."
Sure, the clock is still ticking down faster than ever, but you still have time. Stores will be open on Christmas Eve with limited hours.
Macy's is open until Midnight Sunday, opening again on Christmas Eve at 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.

One battle rarely wins or loses a war, at least in the moment.
But while a single battle may not end a conflict, it can illuminate an underlying reality. This reality generally gets lost in the thunder of propaganda, illusion, and wishful thinking that always accompanies the horsemen of the apocalypse.
Now that some of the dust has settled over the recent battle of
As Frank Rich pointed out in The New York Times, there was indeed a whiff of Tet in the debacle in

Radey argues that the American "victories" against the Vietnamese in the period leading up to the Tet offensive were an illusion. "If the enemy seems to be missing from the picture, this is not proof you have wiped him out," he says. "It is more likely proof that you have lost track of him, and he will, at his own chosen time, find ways to remind you of his presence."
Which is exactly what Muqtada al-Sadr and the Mahdi army did.
According to historian Gareth Porter, the

Radey says the Lam Son analogy is a useful one. The invasion didn't work "because the [ARVN] soldiers didn't believe in the cause they fought for," while their opponents, with far less fire power, "believed in what they were doing. Vive la difference."
As for

According to Ali al-Fadhily and Dahr Jamail of the Inter Press Service, much of the Iraqi army simply disintegrated. A Baghdad police colonel told the reporters that the "Iraqi Army and police forces, as well as the Da'wa and Badr militias, suddenly disappeared from the streets, leaving their armored vehicles for the Mehdi militia to drive around in joyful convoys." The Badr militia is associated with the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, a major ally of Maliki's Da'wa party. Like the Mahdi army, both parties are Shiite.
So, after three years and $22 billion in training and equipment, the Iraqi army got shellacked. The only thing that prevented a full-scale rout was the intervention of
While the Americans have tried to distance themselves from the disaster by claiming that Maliki never consulted with them, historian Porter argues that the claim is ludicrous. "No significant Iraqi military action can be planned without a range of military support functions being undertaken by the

As the Bush administration saw it, a successful attack on the Mahdi army would not only clear the way for privatizing the Iraqi oil industry, it would demonstrate that the Iraqi army was ready "to stand up," thus boosting the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
But as Karl von Clausewitz once pointed out, no plan survives contact with the enemy. Historical analogies are tricky. They may obscure as much as they reveal. But history is the only guide we have, and it is one the Bush administration has willfully chosen to ignore.

For starters, people don't like losing control of their country. With the exceptions of the Kurds and Maliki and his allies, Iraqis are overwhelmingly opposed to the occupation.

There was a large gathering of support on Tuesday in Boonville for a young man who lost his life in an accident two months ago.
Hunter loved to play sports and he loved the color pink. Hundreds gathered together and combined his two loves as a way to remember their friend who was taken way too soon.
"Hunter wasn't shy about a whole lot of things and he let it well be known that he loved pink. When he played here, he would play with pink shoe strings or pink socks, or something, just to be different," Hunter's father, Thomas McDaniel said.
In Hunter's honor, the Boonville Panthers took the field Tuesday night sporting pink towels, and even, pink socks. The opposing team from Princeton even showed up and showed off their pink support.
"Now you can smile a little bit," BMS coach Wes McKinney said.
The large sea of pink surrounding the school's football field was exactly the way coach McKinney said he wanted Tuesday's Pink Out to turn out.
Even though Hunter went on to attend Tecumseh last year, his former coach said his love of sports is still a legacy at Boonville Middle.
"Football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, golf. Hunter was getting big into golf," McKinney said.
"He's done more in 15 years as far as touching people than I've done in 50," Thomas said.
Hunter's father, mother, and brother joined the hundreds who wore pink to cheer on the Panthers and support the newly created Hunter Strong Foundation.
"This is basically just to help those children and make awareness of certain things that need a little bit of extra help. We want people to remember Hunter and the way he touched everybody else's lives. We want his to touch theirs back in upcoming years," Thomas said.
The family said they have the $10,000 required to start the foundation and hope to get the ball rolling soon so scholarships in Hunter's name can be given out very soon.

FIVB SWATCH World Tour returning to Germany
For the first time since 2008, the FIVB Beach Volleyball SWATCH World Tour will
be returning to Berlin, Germany for the $600,000 smart Grand Slam Berlin. This
year's double-gender return visit to Germany's capital city will be held July
10-15 at the Berlin forest stage. The men will open play on July 10 with their
semifinals and medal matches on July 14 and the women will start on July 11 and
finish with their semis and medal matches on July 15. Billed as a grand slam
event within a major summer festival by the IMG promoters who are seeking to set
a FIVB gold medal match attendance record of 18,000 fans on July 14. The event
will be the sixth of a FIVB-record eight grand slam events in 2012, the field is
expected to include many of the men and women former champions in the event.
With all FIVB SWATCH World Tour events in Germany having been played in Berlin,
the men are returning for the 13th time while the women will be in Berlin for
the seventh time. The men first started playing in Berlin in 1995 while the
first women's event was in 2000. The 2005 event was the FIVB SWATCH World
Championships. This year's event will not only include a music festival and
evening matches, it will also have the Berlin City Girl model search. With 21

With cluster on demand, customers with an immediate need for compute power can rent a cluster on a per-day basis to do their calculations in a short time. Physical nodes will be assigned to a dedicated cluster, available to one specific customer only. It will be configured with an environment tailored to the needs of the customer. The installation image will then be stored for future use to make the cluster available even quicker next time. Leveraging our experience with supercomputers, we will set up a complete HPC environment for our "cluster-on-demand" customer and offer assistance in optimizing his applications for parallel computing if needed.[Contact us] for more information or a personal offer or [read more about cluster on demand].

I'm glad to hear they are making this attempt, although not sure how successful they will be. Ask any kid (or parent for that matter) and they can give you very specific examples of classes/teachers who are "easy As," teachers who require extra credit to get an A, etc... I'm sure the teachers will hate this (and I'm a big fan of teachers) but it does make sense to have more uniformity in what kids are taught, within a school/school district, and how that is assessed and graded.

Completely agree with Mom of Three. With college acceptance being as competitive as it is today, grading needs to be uniform. My son took a class this year in which he received a B and based on what he did and learned, knows that would have been an A in another instructor's class. Unfortunately there is no way for a college to know this and it becomes an unfair advantage for the students in the easy A class. A student can graduate from the MVLA district with a 3.5 and actually have learned more than the 4.0 student. This isn't about taking the rights away from teachers, it's about what is fair and just for the students in their classrooms.

It's about time. Grades have becoming more of a popularity contest among teacher, some with an ego and inferiority complex that make good but unpopular students jump through hoops.
