|How to use a Hand Swaging Tool - How to use a 1-SC
|| Print |
Cable splicing is much easier if the cable is cut clean without frayed ends. We highly recommend C7, C9, C12 or C16 cable cutters as shown in the Loos & Co. Cableware Division catalog. LOCOLOC® Oval and Stop sleeves in a complete range of sizes are available through the Loos & Co. Cableware Division. Sleeves elongate after compression. To assure maximum holding allow the end of the cable to extend beyond the sleeve after it is compressed (see illustration below). Keep the jaws of the swager at right angles to the sleeve being compressed, making sure the sleeve is aligned in the jaw grooves. Then close the handles of the swager completely. (Note: for lap splices, at least two oval sleeves should be used.) Each Loos & Co. LOCOLOC® Swager is designed to work with one or more specific size sleeves. FOR USE ON ALL METAL CONSTRUCTION CABLES, 7x7, 7x19, 6x19 IWRC ON SIZES UP TO 3/16. You will not obtain performance if you do not use the proper swager and sleeve combination. The chart below shows the specific size sleeve to be used with a particular swager number. All compressions must be gauged to assure maximum holding strength, and it is recommended that all assemblies should be proof tested.
Figure 1
Place sleeve to be compressed in proper size groove in swaging tool. Single cavity tools should match cable size to be swaged. Length of cable equal to the cable diameter should extend beyond length of sleeve to achieve maximum holding. (See arrow in figure 3)
Figure 2
Keep jaws of swaging tool at right angles to the sleeve to be compressed, making sure the sleeve is aligned in the jaw grooves. Close tool completely. Tool handles should snap shut indicating complete closure.
Figure 3
Finished sleeve should look like this. Be sure sleeves have been compressed the proper number of times. (See NUMBER OF COMPRESSIONS table below)
Figure 4
Use Swaging gauge provided with the tool to check proper after swage diameter. Compressed sleeve should slide freely into size slot of gauge.
Your Loos & Co. LOCOLOC® Swager has been designed to give you years of trouble free service. To obtain the best possible performance, we recommend: (1) clean and lubricate all moving parts regularly; (2) keep all bolts tight; (3) keep your swager properly adjusted using the following simple procedure:
Each LOCOLOC® Swager is supplied with a gauge. Select the slot in the gauge corresponding to the sleeve size being compressed. The compressed portion of the sleeve should pass into the gauge easily. If it does not, then adjust your swager as follows:
With the handles apart, use a 3/16" Allen wrench to tighten set screw in handle 1/4 turn. Then compress sleeve and check with the gauge. Continue this procedure until the compressed portion of the sleeve passes easily into the gauge. These instructions apply to all #1-SC, #0, #0-SC, and #1-BSC Loos & Co. LOCOLOC® Swagers

But the team stumbled badly at the 2002 World Cup and failed to advance beyond the group stage after managing to earn just a single point without scoring a goal.
Expectations had been lowered ahead of the 2006 World Cup, but the French advanced all the way to the final before losing to Italy on penalty kicks.
Things once again took a turn for the worse following that achievement as France bowed out early at Euro 2008 and again at the 2010 World Cup, which included the players going on strike to protest the exclusion of Nicolas Anelka during a group-stage game.
So what can we expect from France this time around?
Well, it's really anyone's guess.
France showed both sides of the coin in qualifying after finishing second to Spain in its group.
The team was on the verge of a disaster after losing 2-0 at Ukraine in the first leg of its playoff.
However, head coach Didier Deschamps saw his men rebound in a big way by recording a 3-0 win at home in the return leg, which included a pair of goals from defender Mamadou Sakho.
Deschamps will hope that version of France shows up at Brazil, because if it does, this team could easily find its way into the quarterfinals and beyond.
France received a kind draw in the group stage when it was placed with Switzerland, Ecuador and Honduras in Group E.
On paper, Deschamps has easily the best side in the group, but as we have seen before, that doesn't always tell the whole story.
If Deschamps is able to get his team on the same page, they should roll through the group with little trouble, led by star players like Franck Ribery and striker Karim Benzema.
Those two will be the catalysts of the French attack, which also includes Mathieu Valbuena, Loic Remy and Olivier Giroud.
Deschamps made the decision to leave Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri at home, and he will instead rely on the steady Blaise Matuidi along with potential breakout star Paul Pogba and Yohan Cabaye, who will assume a bigger role for the national team than he has in the past.
A mix of youth and experience should serve France well as Sakho and Raphael Varane will be joined along the back line by veteran Patrice Evra, with the reliable Hugo Lloris between the posts.
As long as France tops Group E, the team will likely face Bosnia-Herzegovina or Nigeria in the next round, which should put Les Bleus into the last eight.
France possesses the kind of talent to go even further, so it is really down to how well this team can come together.
Regardless of the outcome, with France, it's usually entertaining.

This beer is very simple in a very bad way.
The flavor is somehow simultaneously sweet and bland. This beer tastes very grainy and watered down. This isn't something that I would purchase again or think to grab when i just wanted something to enjoy. It probably goes well with korean food but as a stand alone it's really disappointing .

A: Pale, gold color, clear, and with a thin white head that faded quickly, leaving no lacing.
S: Cut hay, dried grain.
T: Mild malty sweetness at first, then faint grainy notes in the middle before a slightly bitter finish. Very uncomplicated flavor, and almost watered-down taste overall
M: Moist, but with only average carbonation.
O: This is not a drain pour, but it isn't good. The only thing it's good for is cooling off the heat of hot, spicy Korean food.

Pours clear and gold with a fluffy white head.
Smells slightly malty
Taste- Not much there. Some malts and grain. A little bit of sweetness.
Mouthfeel- Light, a little watery.
Overall- Better than Hite, Cass, and Cafri thats for sure. Not great though.

Pours two fingers of head on a clear golden colored body. Live up to the name.
The aroma is not great: metallic and ricey.
The taste has a smooth sweetness and balanced pretty well with the mildest lemon bitterness.
The texture is crisp with soft edges.
It's not bursting with flavor, but its not bad (aside from the smell).

2.98/5 rDev -2.6%
A: Pale golden color. Forms a fizzy white head that quickly fizzes away. No lacing.
S: Aroma is of faint malts and grains. Brown rice. And just a hint of earthy hops.
T: Taste is thin, but at least there is a something there and it's not digesting. Very mild caramel malts, brown rice, kraft paper. Quick, clean finish.
M: Light bodied. Medium carbonation. No bitterness.
O: Purchased this one along with a Hite Ice Point to go with a Korean meal I was making. Figured if I was going through the trouble to cook Korean, I might as well drink it well (and didn't feel like going the shochu route). While this is not a terribly impressive beer, it was certainly the better of the two.

Spent a week in Seoul enjoying the local sights and tastes. The Korean barbecue I found to be excellent, The local brews somewhat less so. The one standout of the locals that I tried was this one. OB Golden Lager in the sixteen ounce can was around two dollars US from the 7-11 around the corner from the Park Hyatt.
Poured a rich, clear gold with a short-lived white head. Carbonation was abundant and lasted quite some time.
Smell was slightly grainy some hints of white-toasted bread but overall not at all unpleasant.
Taste was slightly malty sweet, lightly hopped but quite refreshing with no off-putting flavors, clean and crisp about sums it up.
Mouth-feel was as one might expect - that is to say light with abundant carbonation.
Overall best in class for the Korean Macros that I tried. Beat out Hite and Cafri by wide margins. When in Korea, this pairs nicely with the little fried anchovies in sweetened soy...

Served in a bottle at Han Bat in New York, NY
A: Pours a crystal clear pale yellow in color with moderate amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a half finger tall off-white fizzy head that reduces to thin patches and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. No lacing is observed.
S: There is a light presence of grain malts in the smell of this beer with some lighter hints of corn.
T: Follows the smell, the flavor is dominated by the grain malts. No bitterness or hops can be detected.
M: Light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation.
O: Easy to drink, very refreshing, and definitely sessionable. Not a bad beer and certainly one I would get again when I'm out for Korean food.

I got lightweight pro while I was playing objective games, it was easy enough and easy in terms of XP. But I never used the perk because I would rather use Hardened pro or Sleight of Hand pro. Never really found it useful anyway...
So after using for a while, I find it pretty pointless. Supposedly the pro version gives you no damage taken from falling, but there's so few sections in the game where you actually need this to prevent fatality from jumping off a high ground, because there's barely any tall buildings in the maps that are above 2 stories (I counted around 6 or 7 and only around a few maps like Launch or Array).
Wait actually, I don't think there IS ANY buildings above two stories in this game at all :|
And the run faster part is pointless also once you get marathon pro, because you literally have unlimited sprint, so it basically just becomes a useless perk. You could have had scavenger pro or hardline pro or even ghost pro to use, all of which are far more useful than this perk, I don't get why some people even use this perk. Thoughts?

I got lightweight pro while I was playing objective games, it was easy enough and easy in terms of XP. But I never used the perk because I would rather use Hardened pro or Sleight of Hand pro. Never really found it useful anyway...
And in the morning,
They shook their pillows
violently, hoping
all the dreams they lost
that night would tumble out.
It's actually not pointless at all, for obective based games and even Team Deathmatch it's useful for getting or places or away from places fast and with Marathon Pro it makes it faster. There are actually places on every map where you can take falling damage. Even if it is barely any it will make a difference when an enemy is taking shots at you, and for that reason that is why all the MLG people use Lightweight Pro. In Reg though people use Flak Jacket unless the setting is turned off
It's not about preventing you from dying by falling, it's about not giving you a disadvantage if you jump down from a high place and an enemy is somewhere near. So it's definately not completely pointless, but I personally would rather use something else normally.
I use it on my shotty classes its very useful for flanking them fast especially in Array.
It's worth it to be albe to dolphin dive of the cliff in jungle. I feel like superman.
Lightweight Pro isn't pointless if you think about it actually.
While Marathon Pr0 doesn't even give you UNLIMITED sprint(lol treyarch)

Adapted from Herman Melville's white whale of a novel, Moby Dick, this love letter to American theatre finds the book's Pequod boat crew transformed into the Bad Settlement Theatre Company. Between their rundown surroundings, flagging finances, a newbie of a stage manager and an artistic director who's consumed with the singular focus of putting on the first-ever flawless production of Moby Dick, it's safe to say that this crew is definitely in deep water. A drama that sways towards satire and is populated with bold, scrappy, lovable characters, Season on the Line is a sincere tribute to the trials, tribulations and triumphs that abound in the world of theatre.

Water by the Spoonful was a beautifully written play. It was an emotional experience . Every cast member brought you into their world of addiction. As serious as the subject was, there was also plenty of humor to go around . It is the 2nd story of a trilogy written by a very talented woman Quiara Hudes. It's on for another week, go see it. You won't be disappointed!
*March 20, 2014: Post-Performance Discussion With Theater Scholar David Bevington *
By Quiara Alegría Hudes
Directed by Henry Godinez_
Water by the Spoonful_ takes a painfully honest and surprisingly humorous look at the unconventional communities we create when we seek redemption from our personal failings. Dancing artfully from story to story, playwright Quiara AlegrÌa Hudes unlocks an intimate portrait of both a family and the members of an online recovery community as they struggle with the harrowing consequences of addiction. An expansive play that covers the distance from Puerto Rico to Japan, Philadelphia to San Diego, and the virtual world to the physical, _Water by the Spoonful _ties together the lives of a host of unforgettable characters in a play of genuine warmth about forgiveness and redemption.

Savvy Mode is giving away a total of 4 pairs of Paris Hilton shoes. These are ridiculous.
Destiny by Paris Hilton - $93 on Zappos.com
Click here to enter the giveaway. You can earn a total of 3 entries thru 8/5.
The Limited's brushstroke dress retails for $89.50 and is currently $53.40. It's on backorder at the moment. I saw it in-person and liked it. No pockets, but I guess that would mess up the beautiful brushstrokes.
The Limited's solid faille strapless dress retails for $79.50. I think this is a basic silhouette that's working for them, but the only color I saw in-person & online in this fabric was stallion, a deep chocolate brown. I know it looks black.
Size 2 - Fit ok everywhere except the bust. I couldn't zip it up all the way. I think a 4 will be perfect. I have a waist in this dress!
I ordered both of these online in size 4 as I couldn't find the brown one in a store near me. I think a lot of their stores have closed. I used to love The Limited & Express but haven't shopped in either for eons. I also some some really great suits at The Ltd. There are some construction issues with the clothing as far as fit. They aaalmost get it, but not quite. However, they have definitely overhauled the clothing & many of their fabric choices. I'll be checking in with them again.
I have 2 coupon codes on the side bar. Check them out. One is a savings of $15 on every $50 thru 7/31.
Chime in...
8/8 - ETA - I never received the strapless brushstroke. It got canx on me. I re-ordered a 6 and that got canx, too. I received the 4 on the brown strapless stress. It still didn't fit at the bust. They are going to have to alter their fit. A 6 would be far too big on the bottom. Wasn't meant to be on either of these.

$200 to fix S4 broken screen. Worth it?
Dropped my S4 the other day and was quoted $200 to repair the cracked screen. My contract is expired so I can actually renew and get a new phone - which I plan to do shortly. However, it sort of pains me to see this S4 broken and having to be thrown out. Is it worth paying $200 to fix the S4 and keep it as a secondary phone, or would this money be better served elsewhere (even if it's to purchase another secondary phone... say a Moto G?)

It's almost unbelievable. With the horrible accident on Montgomery Drive last week, each of local Sierra Club dynamo Carol Vellutini's three grown children has now been hit by a car in a Santa Rosa crosswalk.
This latest collision critically injured Carol's 41-year-old son, Ken Rossi, a remarkable guy who's blind and disabled and until the accident was forever on the move with his white cane and powered wheelchair.
Carol suspects that last Wednesday, the first sunny day in weeks, Ken ventured from his home near Montgomery Village and rode the Santa Rosa Creek trail to or beyond Sonoma Highway.
Ken apparently was on his way home when a car, driven by a man who apparently suffered a diabetic seizure, struck Ken in the crosswalk on Montgomery at Franquette Avenue. He needed another two units of blood when he had his third surgery Monday.
Carol has been down this road before. A van hit her daughter, Lorenda Brown, in a crosswalk on Guerneville Road years ago and in 2004 her other son, Gary Rossi, was struck in a Dutton Avenue crosswalk.
But Ken's injuries are by far the worst. Carol said she's grateful to everyone who's helping with a blood drive in Ken's name, from noon to 4 p.m. Jan. 25 at 1900 Armory Drive.
JAZZ SURVIVES: Lloydie Terry remains stuck in a hospital bed with the injuries she suffered when a mudslide smashed into her Santa Rosa home almost two weeks ago. But she has received good news.
Lloydie's son found Jazz, the dog she feared she might have lost to the Dec. 30 slide, at the county animal shelter and took him home.
Now Jazz waits for Lloydie.

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
Starting Seeds is easy with a seed-sowing station. Just obtain the following items:
With my husband's electrical assistance, we then assembled the parts to make a whole. Adjustable shelves are required because, as the seeds sprout and grow, you will need to move the shelves further away from the light. You can also use a seed starting block to eliminate the need for seed trays. If you do use recycled trays and inserts, first dunk them in a ten percent, bleach solution to clean them and remove bacteria. Don't try recycling your seed starting mix. This is an important place to start anew.
Why a seed-sowing station?
Because it's chrome, this seed-starting rack is also attractive, I'll place mine in my tiled dining room. Water from trays won't damage carpet or the wood floors of my bedroom--where we put the cart together. Plus, it's near the kitchen where I cook, eat and write, and I'll be more likely to keep an eye on things.
A friend gave me trays, and I'm experimenting with several different types. The smaller cells warm up faster, but must be transplanted sooner. I tend to like the larger containers with heat mats to warm the soil. Last year, I bought two heat mats. You can also use heating pads, but must buy those with continuous heat and no automatic shutoff. Some seeds, like eggplant, require heat beneath them to germinate. At least, that's my experience.
Cover the seeds with plastic at first to help with germination and heat retention.
Living in Oklahoma, part of the mid-south, my transplant date for warm-weather crops is April 20th. To know when to start my tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, I count back the days on seed packets to determine when I should sow.
The total cost for our seed-sowing station was $237.00, but you could spend less by getting a shorter rack and shorter bulbs.
It may not be a full-fledged greenhouse, but it's a fantastic step in the right direction for a jumpstart on spring.

Parker fell asleep for the last 30 minutes of the 8 hour trip down there.
After the boys were in bed, I went down to the beach for a walk. It was so beautiful and the first time I'd been to the ocean in two years!
The next morning the kids were up early, of course, so we went for a sunrise walk on the beach. It was the one time I took my big camera and as you can see, the sunrise was gorgeous.
It was Reece's first time putting his baby feet in the ocean.
We typically went across the bridge to Apalachicola for eating out, as there are not many restaurants on St. George Island. Places we enjoyed included: Boss Oysters, The Seafood Grill, and The Owl Tavern.
We flew a kite one afternoon.
I wish I had taken some more photos, especially with my big camera, but running after two boys leaves little time for photography. We had so much fun Nonna, thanks a million!

Hi Nell,

The concept of a bond is simple. It is a loan that an investor makes to either a government (GILT) or a company (Corporate bond) in order to help the respective parties raise funds. The benefit for the investor is that the issuer of the bond agrees to pay you a FIXED level of return for a number of years depending on the type of the bond. Corporate bonds are typically popular as part of a diversified portfolio because they provide an element of caution. They provide a less risky option than exposure to the volatile equity markets.
In addition to the fixed level or return or 'fixed income', the issuer of a bond also makes a promise to repay the full amount of your original loan at an agreed date. The date will be sometime in the future, and is known as the 'maturity' of the bond.
A corporate bond is usually given a rating depending how analysts perceive their ability to fully repay the debt. The bonds with the highest chance of full repayment are called 'investment grade', while those with a less outlook are known as 'high yield' or 'junk bonds'. Investing in 'junk bonds' are high risk in comparison to 'investment grade' bonds because there is a far stronger chancer that you will never get all your money back. Bonds are rated on a letter scale, those with a scale ranging from AAA-BBB are generally classed as less risky bonds. However those falling below this range up to a D scale offer far more risk as there is a higher chance of the bond issuer defaulting on their repayments.
Bonds can freely be traded like shares, and some investors opt to sell them before their maturity date. This is because bonds can be in high demand depending on long term interest rates. For example, if a bond pays a fixed return of 8% and interest rates fall from 3% to 2%, then the bond will start to look more attractive. However, if interest rates rise to 4%, then the value of the bond suddenly looks less appealing and this will be reflected in a fall in trading price.
It is possible to invest in bonds through a stockbroker or through a corporate bond fund. Clearly, the latter offers you the opportunity to take advantage of a 'fund managers' expertise.

Both teams struggled on offense, but the 15th ranked LSU Tigers relied on fierce defense and special teams play to outlast the 22nd ranked West Virginia Mountaineers at home in Death Valley.
Like us to subscribe
WVU QB Geno Smith lined up at guard once in this game. Typically the ball is snapped by the center, but in this case…well, the center had the ball, and Smith didn't know where he was.
This single moment sums up West Virginia's offensive performance in the second half against LSU. Their only TD came off a short field provided by a Jordan Jefferson pick. Their remaining offensive threat got no more dangerous than a 48 yard field goal attempt that sailed wide and left the Mountaineers starting at a six point gap they had no chance of surmounting.
That desperation came from facing an inspired LSU defense led by emerging pass rusher Barkevious Mingo. Mingo pressured Smith on the final drive on numerous occasions, nearly had Smith in the endzone for a safety, and led the charge along with tackle Drake Nevis to make his life extremely unpleasant as the Mountaineers attempted to get back in the game. He would finish with only 119 yards passing on the night, but he wasn't alone in poor production; Noel Devine had 14 carries for 37 yards on the night, and was a non-factor despite returning in in the fourth.
LSU fared worse in the passing game than West Virginia did,throwing for only 80 yards on the night. With the defense strangling the Mountaineer offense, however, rushing the ball effectively with Stevan Ridley (20 carries, 113 yards, and one TD) to control the clock late and allow punting and defense to do the rest. At this point in the season the Tigers seem to be two-thirds of a good team, which Les miles will tell you is just one fourth of the way from being 110% of a team halfway to being 50% perfect.
This makes perfect sense if you take this actual Les Miles quote into account:
"Certainly, we were penalties, and we stopped ourselves."
If you actually are penalties, though, and you still manage to go into October undefeated, then you must be doing something right, Coach Miles (proper grammar and diction be damned.)
Noel Devine, the speedy West Virginia running back who missed much of the second and third quarter due to a toe injury, is back in the game for the Mountaineers. He appears to be unhampered by injury, or if he is in fact suffering it appears to be productive suffering. His first carry went for ten yards with relative ease.
This is setting up for the usual cardiac arrest accompanying both LSU and West Virginia's games this season thus far: a tight game in the fourth quarter with little in the way of effective offense between two teams who could do anything at any moment. LSU just rode Stevan Ridley's powerful running deep into WVU territory for a field goal, but 20-14 is still a one score game, and West Virginia's Geno Smith has had a vastly improved second half, so the forecast is for sheer terror for both sides down the stretch here.
LSU believes in fair play, evidently. The Mountaineers gave the ball away generously in the first half, so the Tigers are returning the favor through Jordan Jefferson's INT setting up a 2 play, 30 yard scoring drive capped by a Geno Smith TD to Jock Sanders.
The audible groaning started before the INT, however. Jordan Jefferson has been scattershot all night, throwing well over his receiver's heads, scrambling hesitantly, and looking as comfortable under center as a giraffe looks on roller skates.
Now, I might be selling giraffes short here. Maybe they're superb on roller skates, and I'm unfairly judging their agility without seeing it for myself. I have seen Jordan Jefferson play quarterback, however, and if giraffes handle wheels on their feet anything like this performance, then it's an ugly thing indeed.
Geno Smith is a very pleasant quarterback to watch when he's not having his life threatened by the LSU defensive line, as the last drive clearly illustrated. Smith scrambled, found a Jock Sanders for a big first down, and finally capped the 52 yard drive with TD pass to Stedman Bailey for WVU's only score. It's still a steep hill to climb on the road, but West Virginia's status just improved from "bleak" to "slightly hopeless" now that they're only down ten points and might have lost their biggest playmaker, Noel Devine, to a toe injury in the first quarter.
He struck a Heisman pose in the endzone afterwards, but that's okay: Patrick Peterson is running so well tonight on punt and kick returns that he'll get that fifteen yards back somewhere in the next quarter or so. Patrick Peterson juked his way through WVU's punt coverage following another WVU three-and-out, and then displeased Desmond Howard by getting an early start on his self-proclaimed trophy campaign. 17-0 Tigers, and West Virginia looks like they missed pre-game warmups and will not be participating in this contest until they loosen up sometime in the early third quarter.
It did take them four downs to do it, but if you know anything abou Les Miles he's fine with that, especially since he had another couple of downs to work with before kicking the field goal. Fortunately the math doesn't matter much when you hand the ball to the other team at the seven yard line, which the Mountaineers did via a Ryan Clarke fumble on third down and long. Stevan Ridley ran in the TD from the half yard line on 4th down, and LSU took a 7-0 lead with the PAT
WVU's Geno Smith threw an interception on the ensuing possession to continue the Mountaineers' offensive woes and hand LSU another three points. We stand at 10-0 LSU over West Virginia after two mistakes turned to two scores. If that math continues for the Mountaineers, this game won't be close for long.
Two huge penalties allowed West Virginia to work its way down the field here in the first quarter, but a broken-up third down play deep in LSU territory led to a field goal attempt. This field goal attempt was blocked by Patrick Peterson, the same corner who provided lockdown coverage on the drive and who returned the opening punt for 26 yards to put LSU in scoring position. Ten minutes into this game and nothing has happened to convince me he's not the best cornerback in the country, and there's still the possibility LSU could throw in the towel and just put him back in the Wildcat. Laugh at the idea, sure. When LSU scores forty with him under center, I'll be the one who looks like a genius.
It's hard to overthrow a six foot five man, but Jordan Jefferson likes a challenge. After a smashing 27 yard punt return on LSU's first possession, Jefferson overthrew Terrence Tolliver and ended a productive offensive drive with a tipped interception to give West Virginia the ball on the WVU 22 yard line. The LSU defense looks splendid, and the offense just shot itself in the foot, and this remains LSU football in 2010.
Where do pull a live tiger in a cage topped with cheerleaders around a teeming stadium? And where does one do this with a standard Ford F-150 dualie pickup truck? If the forecast is bat country mad and redolent of bourbon (and there happens to be a live tiger running laps around the stadium) then it must be Baton Rouge, where we are live in the booth for the duration tonight.
The teams are done stretching, the crowd is stumbling in for a late kick, and the stereo system at Baton Rouge is blasting. There's no complaint there: it really is the stereo system put on this earth to announce the second coming.
SB Nation's And The Valley Shook and The Smoking Musket discuss the Tigers' now-traditional woes at the quarterback position:
How are LSU fans feeling about the quarterback situation in Baton Rouge? Jordan Jefferson has struggled out of the gate and Jarrett Lee seems to be knocking at the door. WVU's 3-3-5 stack defense has been known to confuse quarterbacks, especially those facing it for the first time. Any concern about this when WVU comes to town?
ATVS: Despondent, dejected, downtrodden, deflated... if you can think of any other negative adjectives that start with D, they probably apply. I remain optimistic (probably naively so), because the numbers from Game 1 and Game 3 were actually very solid. He's had 2-3 TDs dropped (a couple of them long ones) as well, so that gets hidden in there. JJ is certainly a work in progress, and we all wish he was doing more right now, but against MSU he didn't make any costly mistakes. He takes care of the football, generally, and appears to now be operating the offense, rather than just participating in it.
As for the matchup against the 3-3-5, one thing in our advantage is that Florida actually runs the same system. So JJ does have SOME exposure to this. How will he respond? I wish I could know, but I expect he will be pretty limited with a heavy dosage of handoffs.
SB Nation's Andy Hutchins is looking forward to a flurry of sideline ineptitude this weekend in Baton Rouge:
There is a very real possibility that this could be the worst-coached football game in human history. That team that Ed O'Neill coached in Little Giants — you'll remember it as the one that gave up a game-winning 99-yard touchdown on The Annexation of Puerto Rico — might have had a better sense of time management in football than the squads marshaled by Les Miles or Bill Stewart do. Both of these teams' primary deficiency is at quarterback, too, which may lead to an entertaining, "Here are some chickens with their heads cut off playing football" sort of affair. LSU's defense should be the best unit on the field, though, and it would take a lot of Noel Devine magic (and yardage) to beat that crew.
Chances of Upset: 35 percent. Chances that both quarterbacks throw interceptions: 97 percent. Chances that at least one laugh-out-loud decision made by a head coach: 175,029 percent.
SB Nation's And The Valley Shook and The Smoking Musket discuss West Virginia's relative offensive woes in 2010:
I don't think anybody doubts Noel Devine's explosive ability -- so how is West Virginia only averaging 3.9 yards per carry?
CR: There are three reasons, really: offensive line, offensive line and offensive line. This is a unit that has struggled mightily the last couple years while transitioning from a zone blocking scheme to a more traditional scheme. It seems like on most of Devine's carries, there is a linebacker or defensive end waiting for him as soon as he gets the ball - and he's not the kind of back that can just pick up a few yards on his own in the trenches. If you look at his history, though, he consistently has a number of carries that go for between -1 and 3 yards, and then he will break a long one. He just hasn't broken many long ones yet this year, but it seems like he's about due. I also think teams have been loading up the box to stop him, which may change over the course of the year as Geno Smith continues to improve and burn teams in the passing game.
(Sports Network) The 22nd-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers face their stiffest challenge of the season, as they invade Baton Rouge this weekend to tangle with the 15th-ranked LSU Tigers.
At 3-0, the Mountaineers have passed all their early season tests and they are now out to prove they are worthy of an even higher ranking. Last weekend, WVU got the job done at home, scoring the first 28 points en route to a 31-17 triumph of Maryland.
"I was pleased with how we finished the fourth quarter," said coach Bill Stewart, who turned to the ground game to complete the solid performance.
The victory was much more convincing than the prior week, when WVU used a late rally to squeak by Marshall, 24-21, in overtime. That marked the team's lone road game up to this point, so WVU will need to come out better prepared in a much more hostile environment this weekend if the team is to have any shot.
As for the Tigers, they kicked off a three-game homestand last weekend with a solid 29-7 victory over Mississippi State.
"This is a young football team and a team, in my opinion, that if they continue to put their nose to the grindstone and fight like hell, they have a very, very good upside," stated head coach Les Miles. "I think that our team beyond this game certainly understands there is a lot to accomplish."
LSU extended its winning streak over Mississippi State to 11 games, as it improved to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the SEC. This is the second game versus a ranked opponent for the Tigers, who held off a depleted and 18th-ranked North Carolina squad in the opener.
This game represents the first-ever meeting between LSU and WVU on the gridiron.
Quarterback Geno Smith has yet to be rattled this season and has played like a veteran, completing 70.3 percent of his tosses with seven TDs against just one INT. The sophomore gunslinger was especially impressive last weekend, when he hit on 19-of-29 tosses for 268 yards and four TDs in the win over Maryland. If WVU is to come out on top, Smith will need to be at his best against one of the stingiest defenses in the nation.
At Smith's disposal are several weapons, including wideouts Tavon Austin and Jock Sanders. Austin, a converted RB, leads the team with 21 receptions for 281 yards and two scores, while Sanders, a proven playmaker, ranks second with 19 catches for 214 yards. The duo had their way with Maryland last weekend, accounting for 13 catches, 192 receiving yards and two TDs from Austin.
Tailback Noel Devin also enjoyed a nice game last weekend, as he rushed for 131 yards on 27 carries. He has now gone over the century mark in each game this season and the speedy back is averaging 118.0 rushing ypg during that stretch.
The Mountaineer defense dominated for most of the game last weekend, aside from two long plays that accounted for 140 yards and both of Maryland's TDs. WVU allowed just 77 total yards besides the pair of long passes, while holding Maryland to a miserable 2-of-13 effort on third downs. WVU has been especially effective on third downs this season, allowing opponents to convert just 22 percent of the time.
The defense continues to shine against the run as well and is holding foes to just 62.8 ypg on the ground this season. Furthermore, the unit has yet to surrender a rushing TD. The pass rush also came to life last game, as WVU recorded eight sacks after being held off the board the first two games. DE Bruce Irvin, a JC transfer, finally made his presence felt, recording three sacks and forcing a fumble in last weekend's win.
LSU may have controlled last game, but the offense was by no means impressive, managing just 264 total yards. The Tigers benefited from great field position thanks to the defense, but settled most of the time for field goals, with Josh Jasper connecting on all five of his attempts to break his own school record.
The problem for the Tigers comes at QB, where they have yet to get any real solid play from Jordan Jefferson, who has completed just 57.9 percent of his tosses for only 344 yards and two TDs this season. Jefferson threw for just 97 yards last weekend, but did have 40 rushing yards and a TD to earn a little complement from coach Miles.
"I felt like the quarterback play was better and felt like it will continue to be better."
The Tigers, who are averaging 203.0 rushing ypg on the season, churned out 167 yards and two scores on the ground versus Mississippi State. Stevan Ridley headed the charge with 78 yards and a score on 19 carries, giving him a team- high 318 rushing yards for the season.
On the defensive side of the ball is where the Tigers have been able to dominate and they were on top of their game last weekend. The unit not only limited Mississippi State to just 268 total yards, but the group also came up with five INTs. That is the most for LSU since picking off six passes in against Mississippi State in '07.
Cornerbacks Patrick Peterson and Morris Claiborne had two each for the Tigers, who entered the game without a single INT. The secondary came up with the big plays last weekend, but the run defense has been the strength for LSU. After three games, the Tigers are allowing just 80.3 ypg on the ground and opponents are averaging just 2.2 yards carry. Kelvin Sheppard leads the defense with 27 stops, while Drake Nevis has accounted for 3.5 of the team's 11 sacks.
This is a good test for both clubs, as WVU's potent attack goes face-to-face with LSU's stingy defense. Expect the defense to once again keep the Tigers in the game, while their offense comes up with just enough big plays to top the Mountaineers this weekend.

|Taken by a manic four year old photographer
I apologize in advance.
(As an aside, I've learned a lot from Cristina about social media in the short time I've known her. She is someone who really gets social media in general and marketing and promotion and I highly recommend following both her blog and her Twitter feed so you can reading all the articles and tips she posts. Her information stream has been very helpful to me. Plus, she's a really kind person. Who doesn't need kindness in their life?)
What are your working on?
I think this question should read, what would you like to be working on...
Just kidding...
Kind of.
I'm always working on something, but it doesn't always look like the traditional sit and type pose.
I have a monthly writing commitment at Integrated Catholic Life and I am also always thinking about potential blog posts, other article ideas, and book ideas. I jot those thoughts down in a folder on my phone.
You'd laugh if you saw the list.
It's a bunch of random words with enough information so I don't forget the point about which I'd like to expand.
I have half a book written and a few more ideas I'd love to pursue. Randy Hain, my editor at ICL, has been encouraging me to get serious and put my writerly game face on. I very much desire to "Do the work" as Steven Pressfield so aptly suggests, but I also know that this particular moment is not the right time.
That time will come.
Until then, I write when I can and at odd times and in unusual places and I'm always very grateful for the super nice laptop my dad gave me as a gift a few years ago. It's enabled me to keep writing.
I'm also a quality over quantity type of girl. I'd rather produce one thoughtful blog post/article than a bunch of daily vapid navel gazing (though that still happens here sometimes).

The Brookfield Barracuda rolled over the West Allis Wave, 127-54, on Jan. 29 at West Allis Central and finished the dual meet season unbeaten.
"We had a chance to mix it up a bit and still held off the Wave of West Allis," coach William Twitchell said. "With the victory at West Allis we secured an undefeated dual meet season. The seniors, Brian Borden, Michael Flatley, Jeff Teng, Dean Zeng and Tyler Patt showed a fair amount of emotion as they finished their dual meet careers for the Barracuda."
The Barracudas won all 11 events, winning three relays and eight swimming events. Borden, Ben Everson and Zheng were on two winning relays and Borden and Zheng also won individual events.
The 200-yard medley relay behind Borden, Everson, Hantao Jing and Flatley took first with a time of 1 minute, 47.64 seconds.
Then Daniel Lee won the 200 freestyle (1:53.69), Connor Rumpit won the 200 IM (2:09.93) and Stuart Gildea won the 50 free (24.77).
Borden won the 100 butterfly (57.28), while Corey Li won the 100 free (56.32) and Zheng won the 500 free (5:19.40).
The 200 free relay of Jing, Tomer Korbelnikov, Zheng and Borden won in 1:36.41.
Max Schroeder won the 100 backstroke (1:02.06) and Teng won the 100 breaststroke (1:10.10).
In the final event, the 400 free relay of Zheng, Lee, Everson and Rumpit won their event (3:33.20).
The Barracudas will now take part in the Greater Metro/Classic 8 Conference Championships at Waukesha South on Feb. 8. Diving begins at 10 a.m. and swimming at 1:30 p.m.

Chapter Six of the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church speaks to the topic of human work. In its discussion of wages and the rights of workers, the Compendium states the following:
"The economic well-being of a country is not measured exclusively by the quantity of goods it produces but also by taking into account the manner in which they are produced and the level of equity in the distribution of income, which should allow everyone access to what is necessary for their personal development and perfection" (# 303).
Equity in the distribution of income is not the same thing as equality. Church teaching on wages has never argued that all must be paid the same, regardless of their ability or their occupation. But the Catholic tradition is very clear that because work is for humans and not the other way around, all who work deserve a living wage that allows a reasonable opportunity for their fulfillment.
Thus we need to regularly ask if our income distribution is truly equitable. As the gap in earnings between the very rich and the rest of society widens, the greater the urgency for serious public discussion on its social impact.
Recent study findings
A recent study by the Economic Policy Institute and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities suggests we need to pay attention to income distribution in Wisconsin. The Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS) and the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families (WCCF) commented on the study last week.
Twenty years ago, Wisconsin ranked fifth in the nation in terms of income distribution. Today, we have fallen to 11th place. From the late 1980s to the middle of this decade, the income of the poorest fifth of our population increased by only seven percent. That of the middle fifth increased by 14 percent, and the income of the richest fifth increased by 36 percent.
In dollar terms, the poorest of our states' families saw their incomes rise by $1,369 during this period. The wealthiest fifth of the population averaged an earnings increase of $31,600.
COWS director Joel Rogers called this inequity a political problem. He noted, "greater inequality feeds on itself." As people become more financially strapped, they become less willing to pay for public goods like education and other services. Such disparity undermines rather than affirms the notion of common sacrifices for the common good.
Possible policy responses
COWS and WCCF offered a number of policy responses to reverse this income disparity. These include:
Income inequality is truly a political problem. And it is a political problem with a moral dimension that ought to be a concern for Catholics and others. For such wide disparities in income challenge us to ask: 1) how committed are we to the common good? And, 2) does the way we compensate work uphold or diminish a "preferential option for the poor?"
These questions of social justice issues raised by the report warrant our attention. And the policy responses suggested by the sponsors of that report deserve a close look by the 2009 legislature.
John Huebscher is the executive director of the Wisconsin Catholic Conference.
The liberating wheelchair
Is there life after 80? You bet! I have just survived a theater weekend in New York accompanied and pampered by my daughter, Kris (#6), and lived to write the tale.
It was not my first experience with New York theater - our eldest son has lived there for the past 16 years and no trip to New York would be complete without a Broadway play.
This, however, was the first time I didn't have to wrestle with bags and stand in line for half price tickets. Instead, we were traveling with a tour group, Rothberger Travel from Fort Atkinson. It didn't take long for me to adapt to having my bags and tickets handled for me. In fact, it's a way of life to which I could easily become addicted.
Magic passes
Kris had suggested I take along a cane, even though I don't normally walk with one. I knew from experience traveling with my husband that a cane is like a magic wand in an airport. They board you first, along with the babies and small children.
I have already graduated to wheelchairs at airports though, since that long walk from check-in to the departing gate can totally wipe me out before I get on board. A wheelchair is even better than a cane. The person pushing it gets you right to the head of the line with a series of "excuse me's." One would think they were playing "Hail to the Chief" by the way everyone snaps to attention and steps aside.
Dangerous weapons
Security was another thing, though. No respect, no respect! Kris, who flies several times a week, slipped out of her loafers and stepped through the security gate smoothly. Not me. I set off the alarm. I told them about my artificial knees, but the scanner showed something more suspicious. My right hip set off the alarm over and over until finally my weapon was discovered. In my right pocket I carried a rosary.
Everyone knows what a powerful weapon a rosary is. I laughed until I remembered weapons are no laughing matter. The grim-faced woman spent another five minutes scanning my body to be sure I didn't have another one on me.
Escaping the stampede
I carried my cane that night to dinner at Bennihana's of Tokyo and to the theater, where we saw an incredible production of Jersey Boys. Kris became aware that night (painfully, I suspect) that I couldn't quite keep up with the crowd. On the streets of New York you have to get into step with the pack or get stampeded. So the next day she suggested that we borrow a wheelchair from the hotel and she would push me through the streets and the stores. When she saw my expression she quickly added, "Mother, try to think of a wheelchair not as confining, but as liberating."
Wheelchair escapades
The problem was that the only wheelchair available at the hotel was itself handicapped. It had only a right footrest. The left one couldn't be found. So I spent about four hours Saturday and eight hours on Sunday with my body twisted so that both feet could rest on the right footrest.
That wasn't the most frightening, however. The worst was flying at high speed down the sidewalks of New York just inches behind bodies I was approaching at butt level ready to ram into them if anyone should slow down.
Or was it having my grandson, Nick, an inexperienced "pusher," ram me into curbs? Finally someone taught him how to lift the front wheels by pushing down on the handle, but in his enthusiasm he then sent my legs straight up in the air. I, of course, inadvertently let out a scream. This sent Kris and the others into peals of laughter at the look of horror on a woman approaching us who witnessed this "elder abuse."
Highlight of the trip
Despite the three wonderful shows and many fine restaurants and the visit with my son Rob and his family, we both had to admit that a highlight of the trip was undoubtedly attending Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Sunday morning. Kris was enchanted with the many side altars and pushed me down the aisle a second time to get pictures of each of them.
I was delighted with the announcement that among the visitors that day was a group from Cathedral High School in St. Cloud, Minn., where we had lived and gone to school for many years. It's a small world after all. (And small towns are better than big cities to live in.)
After my "liberating" experience in the wheelchair, I am very surprised to learn that streets and public places still have a long way to go to become truly handicapped accessible. I am more determined than ever to keep exercising, stay fit, and walk on my own two feet as long as possible.

My cabinets are 34 inches above the finished floor (they are existing cabinets so I don't want to raise them from the bottom). It looks like they were installed on the subfloor so I lose a half inch with my finished floor. There is no countertop installed yet, but I plan on getting a silestone countertop that is 1 1/4 inches. This would make the total height 35 1/4. I need it to be 36 inches to fit my slide in stove and dishwasher. Can I put a layer of 3/4 inch plywood under the silestone to raise the height? Will it look bad? What can I do to mask the plywood once the countertop is installed.
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

It's certainly feeling that way, and with warmer weather in the air, we sense our overall mood changing. Helping it along are some fun new finds for the month of May. Among our favorites for the month are a new DVD by one of our all-time favorite kiddie show characters (here's a hint: he's fuzzy, red, and speaks in the third person), an adorable pint-size raincoat from an iconic design house, a cookbook from the sons of one of TV's most well-known chefs, and more. Check out our must-have items for the month of May, and tell us which ones you're adding to your shopping list! Color This Book What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A beautiful series of coloring books that feature two of our favorite cities? Sign us up! Abbi Jacobson's fun Color This Book ($10 each) series features sites and shops from San Francisco and New York City (in case you didn't know, POPSUGAR is based in San Francisco, and your Moms team is located in NYC). The illustrations are charming and will look familiar to tots who not only live in the cities, but also may be visiting them over their Summer breaks. 1 / 6 Elmo the Musical What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On May 7, Elmo will sing and dance his way onto your television screen in his latest DVD, Elmo the Musical ($15). As part of the Sesame Workshop's STEM curriculum, the DVD will focus on building math skills like addition and subtraction, relational concepts, and shapes as he performs five episodes taken from Sesame Street's 43rd season. Expect to see Elmo taking part in "Sea Captain the Musical," "Circus the Musical," and "Prince Elmo the Musical," among other educational pieces. 2 / 6 The Batali Brothers Cookbook What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Anyone who's ever watched Mario Batali cook — in person or on TV — has seen what an amazing teacher he is. But no two people have learned more from him than his two sons, Benno, 16, and Leo, 14. On May 14, the boys release The Batali Brothers Cookbook ($15), a collection of their favorite recipes they've made with dear old dad. Among their favorites: Cinnamon Swirl French Toast, Italian Corn, and Kale Salad With Lemon Dressing. If Mario's kids eat these meals, then maybe yours will too. 3 / 6 Marimekko Poppy Printed Raincoat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It doesn't get much cuter than pint-size Marimekko! The Finnish design house's signature prints may look even better on tots than they do on grown-ups, bedding, and curtains. Our favorite pick for Spring? The company's Poppy Printed Raincoat ($68) that may have kids wishing for a rainy day! 4 / 6 Honest Body Oil What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We've loved The Honest Company's products for our tots since they first launched last year.
