"The one thing that we hope for whenever we come to a new venue, is if [the audience is] really receptive and interactive and do chants and boo and cheer and just get really involved. Whenever they're like that, the show just becomes so much more amazing, and we were not denied that in Abu Dhabi. It was definitely rowdy, it was definitely fun, and it's fun for the whole family."

A couple years ago I sat next to Steven Jackson (then with the Rams) at a bar in Hollywood. We struck up a conversation about football and life over a few beers. I told him I was from Tampa and I offered him a drink on me if he'd go easy on us next time the Bucs and Rams met on the field (He'd punished us the season before – although we got the W). He was a laid back dude and happy to answer my annoying fan-boy questions – of which I had many. One answer sticks out though. When I asked which Buccaneer defender hit him the hardest, he said without hesitating, Ronde Barber.
I always new Ronde was a sure tackler and didn't shy away from taking on big backs, but we had some mean linebackers and defensive linemen on the team that year who could lay some wood, so I was a little surprised to hear that our smallish slot corner was our biggest hitter. Ronde was a Buc-fan favorite because he always seem to come up with the game-changing play when we needed it - the sack to stop a drive, the turnover to seal a win - yet was not a flashy NFL superstar. He never got the hype of a Neon, Revis, Reed or Woodson, but he got the respect of his peers. Players and coaches around the league understand the true greatness of Barber maybe even more-so than his fans. He had a particular skill set that made him a force for the opposition to reckon with. I think history will be very kind to Barber, and as his career grows smaller in the rear view of our collective minds, his legacy will grow even larger. Ronde played hard, smart and fast. He was a leader. He was a hard worker. He was an incredible role model on and off the field. He is a Hall of Fame football player.
He may be the greatest Buccaneer of all time.

Deerfield Beach, FL JMsolutions, a dealer-focused automotive technology products and services company, released findings today which show that pre-owned SUVs and trucks are earning excellent returns in traditionally truck-friendly markets. Successful used vehicle sales opportunities remain despite the nationwide general downturn in new SUV and truck sales. For example, in Dallas, Texas, nine of the 11 most profitable used vehicle models in August were full-sized SUVs or large pick-up trucks.
The data, based on nearly 62,00 vehicles retailed in the U.S. in August by dealers using JMsolutions AAX used vehicle inventory management system, also showed similar trends in other regions. The second most profitable used vehicle in the Washington, D.C. market was the Chevy Trailblazer, with the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 respectfully rounding out the top 20 most profitable used vehicles. The Jeep Liberty held the number one rank in used vehicle profitability in the South Florida market.
Its clear that dealers who continue to utilize AAX and follow our inventory management philosophy are maximizing margins and turns in their stores when buying and selling vehicles, said Scot Eisenfelder, group vice president, JMsolutions. The ability to adjust quickly and appropriately to the market is enabling dealers to reap the benefits on many vehicles that they may otherwise assume are losers.
Rather than moving too far under the vehicles book value and risk making the trade for a new vehicle, dealers are proactively using their stores AAX data to base buying and pricing decisions. This allows them to be more competitive on trades, winning more new car deals, Eisenfelder continued.

Sleeping disorders treated in lab
Reported March 30, 2009
ISTANBUL-A new department named the "Sleep Laboratory" opened its doors
for people suffering from insomnia, sleepwalking and sleep retention.
When speaking about the newly opened unit, head of the health department Dr.
Hüseyin Fidan said snoring is a common problem. "People think snoring is normal,
but it is not. It creates breathing disorders and sleep apnea, which hinders
breathing," he said.
Breathing disorder
Breathing disorders during sleep impact people's health heavily and can
sometimes be deadly. People do not have correct or enough information on
sleeping problems, Fidan said. "People who have problems during sleep should
come and be examined by doctors. They will be under controlled conditions while
sleeping in order to diagnose their issue," Fidan said.
Yunus Emre State Hospital's Sleep Laboratory operates in cooperation with the
sleep laboratory at Eskisehir Osmangazi University Hospital.

Using Software To Better Run Your Shop
In today's manufacturing environment, software has evolved. No longer designed for simple NC code and nesting parts for the best material utilization, it has become an increasingly useful and necessary tool for any production facility. Look for software modules which can be tailored to your needs and can create an ideal interaction between machine, control system, and production software.
Most manufacturers use software that enables offline programming and easy nesting. However, they are only touching the surface of what their software can do. The most recent software advances are designed to do more than program parts efficiently. Realizing what is possible is the first step in understanding the ways you can use the software to your advantage. By taking advantage of the capabilities and functions of the machine's software you can coordinate your entire production flow, track inventory, monitor each machine and run your shop more efficiently; saving time and money. Let's look at a few areas where your software can be used to do more around the shop.
The latest developments in software allow a fabricator to produce 2D blanks for cutting and bending from 3D designs. All of the technological information needed for processing is already contained in the file. The software uses bending factors and punching tool data gathered from the punching and bending programming software. Users are then able to create the 2D blanks without requiring any 3D CAD skills. The support of numerous 3D interfaces also makes it possible to unfold different 3D designs, including those received from customers or an engineering department.
Some software can even handle imprecise models without difficulty. The ability to avoid errors from the beginning, for example, through automatic incorporation of production radii from selected tooling, leads to greater efficiency overall. In addition, processing reports provide detailed information about the end result. With the right software, it is even possible to cut open plane surfaces and define joints or cut-outs quickly and confidently using the integrated modeling function.
In production-related areas it is possible to utilize software that covers many functions of conventional enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, but which has been optimized for sheet metal fabrication. This software breaks through the classic barriers of these systems to provide continuous information flow across all levels – from company management to production. Orders need to be created only once, which improves the quality of data and saves time.
A demonstration of TruTops software.
With this software, fabricators are also always aware of the exact status of all machines and production orders. With one machine or many, reports are provided back to the ERP system to close the loop. In addition, technological advancements have also led to user-friendly tools such that enable users to receive information about production, orders and machine status anytime and anywhere.
For job shops, preparing quotations and facing difficult competition is simply a part of doing business. Finding the balance with a price-sensitive quotation that will also ensure profitability can be a challenge, but with certain software solutions it is simple to set up a preliminary calculation for an offer or a time calculation for production planning. The software takes machine hourly rates, consumption data and personnel costs into account and calculates rates based on the rules and technological knowledge of your programming system.
The competitiveness of the preliminary calculation is assured by such things as the integrated nesting processor. This allows the fabricator to optimize material requirements and add special considerations such as bulk discounts and foreign currencies. The software also provides for automated quotes or individual calculations to be prepared in advance by a staff member.
The best software will collect and evaluate machine data in real time to enable a fabricator to react in real time. Software collects all machine data from each workplace and includes tracking of downtime, alarms, error messages and the causes of faults. Data can be stored in a central database for evaluation or use an integrated webcam to provide immediate remote diagnosis. Based on the information collected, a fabricator can easily improve upon the assignment and planning of valuable machine time.
In addition to more economical planning, software can also calculate the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of the machine. The interpretation and visualization of this data can be set up individually and the evaluation periods can be precisely set to the hour. The information can be exported into different target systems via PDF, HTML, RTF or e-mail, while an integrated user management system keeps unauthorized people from accessing sensitive data.
In today's manufacturing environment, software has evolved.No longer only designed to create NC code and nesting parts for the best material utilization, it has become an increasingly useful and necessary tool for any production facility. Look for software modules which can be tailored to your needs and can create an ideal interaction between machine, control system, and production software. In addition, well defined interfaces allow for integration with your existing IT environment, allowing you to answer questions like, "What is the profit on the job?" or "Where is my part?" with a click on a button.
An integrated inventory system will also help to steer the entire material flow during production and help manage the inventory. When all machines and storage system facilities are integrated for this purpose, you will be able to see, in real-time, what's happening in your company.

Thesis ABSTRACT
Applying the Transtheoretical Model of Intentional Behavior Change to the initiation of bnge drinking in a college sample
by Bellino, Lori E., M.A., University of Maryland Baltimore County, 2000
Results of recent studies suggest that many college students engage in heavy episodic or binge drinking. Binge drinking is associated with a host of negative health and behavioral consequences for this population. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of applying the Transtheoretical Model of Intentional Behavior Change to the initiation of binge drinking in a sample of college students. Cognitive process variables (i.e., alcohol expectancies, decisional balance, temptation to drink), alcohol use variables (i.e., negative consequences of use, symptoms of alcohol use disorders), and personality characteristics (i.e., Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Extraversion) that have been correlated with heavy alcohol use were examined. Results indicated that the majority of subjects were classified as in either the Precontemplation, Action, or Maintenance stage for the initiation of binge drinking. Results also showed that subjects in Action and Maintenance for binge drinking reported significantly more Social Facilitation alcohol expectancies, pros of drinking, temptation to drink, negative consequences of use, and symptoms of alcohol use disorders compared to Precontemplators. Subjects in Maintenance also reported significantly more Sexual Enhancement alcohol expectancies and fewer cons of drinking compared to Precontemplators, as well as more symptoms of alcohol use disorders compared to subjects in Action. Personality factors accounted for a surprisingly small amount of variance in alcohol use and binge drinking frequency. Conscientiousness was, however, a significant predictor of total alcohol use and frequency of binge drinking episodes for subjects in Action and Maintenance. These findings provide some support for applying the Transtheoretical Model of Change to the initiation of binge drinking.

According to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control, more doctors need to warn their pregnant patients about the risks of CMV infections.
CMV is a virus in the herpes family and it is found in any bodily fluid which include tears, breast milk, and saliva. It is passed from person to person through close contact. If a pregnant woman picks up this virus and passes it to her unborn child, the child could be born with anything from a weakened immune system to a permanent disability.
The CDC is encouraging doctors to remind their pregnant patients that during pregnancy it is more important than ever to practice a thorough hand washing routine, especially after tending to pre-school aged children.
A survey of Obstetricians found that fewer than half talk to their patients about how to avoid CMV infections. CDC officials recommend that pregnant women wash their hands often with soap and water after contact with saliva or diapers. CMV is the leading infectious cause of birth defects in the U.S. with roughly five to eight thousand babies born in the U.S. with CMV related disabilities.

Plan for deep cuts now and hope that will make the tough times hurt less. This is Tucson Unified School District's approach to the public right now as it asks how to bridge a $17 million budget gap next summer.
A handful of people filled out comment cards and spoke to the board about their concerns about closing schools.
The board took comments from the public tonight about how it has been forming plans to bridge an anticipated $17 million budget deficit next summer.
It has three scenarios if proposition 204 doesn't pass and three if it does.
If it doesn't, the scenarios go from balancing the cuts between cutting administration and other services and closing 13 schools, to more focus on school closures while having teacher raises and decreasing class size. All to keep the district attractive.
Some complain the process feels rushed or say the turnout tonight, about fifty including board members, is disappointing because people don't know what schools will be closed.
But others say closures are unavoidable and will help focus resources on students.
"Achievement improved with the students because more money was spent in the classroom, they had better library services and better nurse services and that's what I'm for, better services for the children. Pay more attention to the children than the buildings," said Ruth Blunier, a district resident.
"TUSD doesn't seem to have asked people, 'if we don't close them, how can we change them so we can afford to keep them?' I don't think that's a question they've ever asked,'" said Tres English, former TUSD student and parent.

The school is owned and operated by St. Peter's Lutheran Church. A grade was added each year and by September 1997 the school was complete as planned, with preschool through eighth grade. The school is considered part of the mission outreach of the church. The school is governed by an elected school board made up of nine members elected for three year terms. The board members are elected by the congregation at its annual meeting. It is the job of the school board to develop policies and procedures for the school in line with the mission and policies of the church. All policies are approved by the church council. The school is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

The Philadelphia Phillies signed Cliff Lee to a big free-agent contract before the 2011 season, reasoning that they needed one more ace pitcher in addition to Roy Halladay to keep them going to the postseason.
Lee has not disappointed; Thursday night he threw his major league leading fifth shutout of the season and the Phillies won their seventh in a row, defeating the Giants 3-0.
Lee's season has been streaky; he threw three straight shutouts in June, posting a 0.21 ERA during the month and at one point throwing 34 consecutive scoreless innings. But in July, he struggled, posting a mediocre 4.91 ERA and winning just once.
August appears to have ended those troubles, at least for now; he threw 106 pitches (76 strikes) and allowed the Giants just six singles and a double, walking no one and striking out eight.
Lee joins CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Dontrelle Willis as the only pitchers since 2000 to throw five shutouts in a single year. If he throws one more, he would become the 13th pitcher since 1981 to have six or more in one season; John Tudor of the Cardinals had the most in a single year since 1981, 10 in the St. Louis NL pennant year of 1985.
The Phillies, who hold the best record in baseball at 72-39, will face the Giants again Friday night in San Francisco. Lee's next start should come up next Tuesday in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

A new medical device has been developed that will provide phlebotomists and clinicians with a technology to enable blood drawing accuracy at first stick. This is particularly important considering the diverse patient demographics -- each with various levels of difficult venous access. Soon, this enhanced accuracy will greatly reduce patient discomfort as well as procedure time and cost.
A team of researchers from VascuLogic have developed the world's first automated venipuncture medical device that automates the phlebotomy procedure, either for blood draws or the placement of IV lines. In both in vitro and in vivo validation studies, including validation on human subjects, the device demonstrated greater than 95% first stick accuracy, and additionally outperformed human phlebotomist controls.
Some 56% of the adult population and 82% of pediatric population suffer from trypanophobia, the fear of needles. Tryphanophobia is just one of the issues faced by clinicians when needing to draw blood. The researchers from Vasculogic conducted their own intensive survey of over 200 US based phlebotomists, identified difficult venous access as a significant problem in small children, particularly in terms of pain, time, and patient and parent anxiety due to difficult/multiple needle stick(s). Additionally they have validated that parent acceptance of the device is over 98%, given
First and foremost, the team worked on the safety features for the new device. Arm restraints, real-time tracking during injection at every 3 milliseconds, and sterile disposable sleeves to prevent contamination between patients, are some of the safety features implemented.
One of the early challenges to the design of the device was the current vein imaging and modeling technology. The device relies on detailed and high quality images of the vein and its surrounding area to ensure the accuracy of the venipuncture. By improving the imaging technology with ultrasound and 3D reconstruction of the vein, the device is able to detect and perform the procedure in one stick. This negates the situation of having make multiple attempts for a successful venipuncture.
Though originally developed for pediatric hospitals, the device can also be applied to adult patients too. The only adjustment that needs to be made is the selection of the gauge needle based on the patient. This fully automated venipucture device would greatly improve the entire procedure, save cost and above all, provide much needed relief to parents and patients facing difficult venipuncture procedures.

text: Maryland has a 60-year history with the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Baltimore Sun asked ACC schools if they would consider scheduling Maryland as a nonconference opponent in any sport after Maryland departs for the Big Ten in July 2014. Queries were sent initially to sports information directors, who often forwarded them to athletic directors. Queries weren't sent to the ACC's newest members — Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame — because they don't have a history with Maryland. Here are the responses: Boston College: No comment because athletic director was unavailable. Clemson: "As we look at future football scheduling, we consider several options. With Maryland moving out of the ACC, we would evaluate them as we would any current member of the Big Ten." Duke: "There is one principle guiding Duke Athletics' scheduling philosophy. The 26 varsity sports programs schedule according to what is in the best interest of the student-athletes, Duke University and the Atlantic Coast Conference." Florida State: "Scheduling is on a team-by-team basis. There is no moratorium on scheduling Maryland." Georgia Tech: "While it's not likely that Maryland will be a non-conference opponent in football or basketball in the immediate future, we are receptive and actively pursuing future scheduling partnerships with all BIG 10 conference members." Miami: "We do not have any restrictions on scheduling Maryland and would gladly do so where it makes sense." North Carolina: No immediate reply. North Carolina State: "Most of our coaches schedule their nonconference games throughout the season prior to the year in which they plan to play. Since we have not yet begun the school year, it is not clear if various sports will desire to play in the DC area or not in 14-15 and beyond." Virginia: "We have not made any scheduling decisions about future UVA-UMD competitions." Virginia Tech: No immediate reply. Wake Forest: "Thanks for the opportunity but we must politely decline to comment." http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/terps/bs-sp-terps-acc-0704-20130703,0,3074339.story?page=1

Dushane v. BeallAnnotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Dushane v. Beall, 161 U.S. 513 (1896)
Dushane v. Beall
No. 134
Submitted March 2, 1896
Decided March 16, 1896
The limitation of two years made by Rev. Stat. § 5057 to suits and actions between an assignee in bankruptcy and persons claiming an adverse interest touching any property or rights of property transferable to or vested in such assignee, is applicable only to suits growing out of disputes in respect of property and of rights of property of the bankrupt which came to the hands of the assignee, to which adverse claims existed while in the hands of the bankrupt and before assignment.
Assignees in bankruptcy are not bound to accept property which, in their judgment, is of an onerous and unprofitable nature and would burden, instead of benefiting, the estate, and can elect whether they will accept or not after due consideration and within a reasonable time, while if their judgment is unwisely exercised, the bankruptcy court is open to compel a different course.
From the record in this case, the Court is constrained to the conclusion that the assignee should not have been held by the court below to have exercised the right of choice between prosecuting the claim and abandoning it, in the absence of any evidence whatever to justify the conclusion that he had knowledge, or sufficient means of knowledge, of its existence prior to August 10, 1888, and that therefore there was error in its judgment.
This was a garnishee proceeding in the Court of Common Pleas for Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
The record of that court shows the issue in favor of Alpheus Beall, on a judgment recovered by him against Abraham O. Tinstman, of an attachment execution, dated June 9, 1888, and service thereof accepted by the Pittsburgh & Connellsville Railroad Company, as garnishee, June 15, 1888.
August 10, 1888, McCullough, assignee in bankruptcy, appeared in the garnishment proceeding, and participated in the choice of arbitrators, who made an award September 25, 1888, in favor of Beall, from which award an appeal was taken. December 13, 1889, the case was continued
"on account of death of assignee of A. O. Tinstman, said case not to be again placed on trial list until after appointment and appearance of another assignee in bankruptcy."
April 23, 1890, "Edward
Campbell, Esq., appears for J. M. Dushane, assignee in bankruptcy of A. O. Tinstman." September 11, 1890, "Joshua M. Dushane, assignee of A. O. Tinstman, appears in court, and asks leave to be added to the record as defendant." Thereafter the case was submitted to the court for determination on a case stated, which embodied the following facts:
On the 5th of April, 1876, Abraham O. Tinstman was adjudicated a bankrupt in involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy, and, during the same month, Welty McCullough was appointed assignee, and took upon himself the duties thereof. The deed of the register in bankruptcy to the assignee conveyed the property which Tinstman possessed, was interested in, or entitled to, on the 5th day of April, but the schedule of assets filed by the assignee did not embrace the bankrupt's interest in a certain telegraph line hereinafter mentioned. Tinstman was duly discharged as a bankrupt January 3, 1877.
In 1882, James L. Shaw instituted an action against the Pittsburgh & Connellsville Railroad Company in the Court of Common Pleas for Fayette County, Pennsylvania, to recover damages for a breach of contract relative to the maintenance and working of a line of telegraph between Uniontown and Connellsville, and on October 2, 1885, Tinstman was made one of the "use plaintiffs

James F. Leary Elected SPIE Fellow
March 22, 2012
BELLINGHAM, Washington, USA – March 20, 2012 – Each year, SPIE promotes members as new Fellows of the Society. SPIE will honor 75 new Fellows of the Society this year. Fellows are members of distinction who have made significant scientific and technical contributions in the multidisciplinary fields of optics, photonics, and imaging. They are honored for their technical achievement, for their service to the general optics community, and to SPIE in particular. More than 900 SPIE members have become Fellows since the Society's inception in 1955.
"The annual recognition of Fellows provides an opportunity for us to acknowledge Members for their outstanding technical contributions and service to SPIE," says Eustace L. Dereniak, SPIE President.
James F. Leary, Purdue University, United States, for achievements in high-speed flow cytometry and nanomedicine.
Leary has made pioneering developments in the areas of tissue engineering, biophotonics, and nanomedicine over more than 30 years. Specifically, he developed high-speed flow cytometry for the detection and isolation of rare cells, which is key for identifying and treating infectious diseases, cancer, and in gene therapy.
He has made many breakthroughs in the field of biophotonics and microfluidics including the development of bioMEMS microfluidic devices and point-of-care medical devices such as a hand-held blood analyzer for use in space and in pediatric scale blood analysis of newborns, as well as portable multimodal lab-on-a-chip technology for testing for pathogens in food. Additionally, Leary has advanced nanomedicine for single-cell simultaneous diagnostics and therapeutics in vivo. For his body of work, Leary received the 2010 Chairmen's Distinguished Life Scientist Award by the Christopher Columbus Foundation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
He is a member of scientific societies such as the Clinical Cytometry Society, the New York Academy of Sciences, the Optical Society of America, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a founding member of the International Society for Analytical Cytology, and a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Sciences. With these and other organizations, Leary contributes to the scientific community as an associate editor for the journal Cytometry: Part A and serves on the editorial boards of the journals Lab on a Chip, BMC Biotechnology, and the Journal of Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology. In addition, he has served on more than 120 National Institutes of Health Study Sections for review of multidisciplinary grants, and he serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Glaucoma Foundation.
Leary's contributions to SPIE conference organization are extensive, having been involved with more than two dozen conferences since 1996. He has served as program committee member and as a co-chair of the Imaging, Manipulation, and Analysis of Biomolecules, Cells, and Tissues conference since 2006, on the program committee for Advanced Biomedical and Clinical Diagnostic Systems conference for six years, and on the program committees for many more conferences covering optical diagnostics, cytology, and biomedical optics.
SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, was founded in 1955 to advance light-based technologies. Serving more than 180,000 constituents from 168 countries, the Society advances emerging technologies through interdisciplinary information exchange, continuing education, publications, patent precedent, and career and professional growth. SPIE annually organizes and sponsors approximately 25 major technical forums, exhibitions, and education programs in North America, Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific, and supports scholarships, grants, and other education programs around the world.

text: I'm honestly starting to think that maybe Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland aren't even aware that O.J. Atogwe is available to sign without giving up any draft picks. Remember, he was/is listed to be a restricted free agent but the rams put a specific tender that allows teams to offer a contract and if the Rams don't match it, they are not awarded any draft picks. I really don't know the other reason why they wouldn't want a younger FS who is better in coverage and just a few years ago had 8 INT's and then 5 INT's two years ago. If he isn't the answer then we either have to trust in Chris Clemmons or look to the draft. Either way we need to figure this out because there really has to be a reason no team is looking at Atogwe this offseason when he is considered one of the better free safeties in the league. Why has no one attempted to sign him? There has to be something going on that we don't know because this just doesnt add up.

Technically a v-neck, but....
if this keeps happening on a regular basis, pretty soon people are going to stop watching Monday Brief videos. :(
I think Android Central should enforce strict policies with regards to posts of this nature. I don't want to see these types of comments here. That's not the purpose of this site. It is my opinion that these types of posts should be removed and the posters reprimanded in some way. I would hate to see comments being blocked on this series simply because of a few mindless people.

Well said Ashley. Some individuals seriously need to get a life.

I think you do a great job. Let me aplogize for the jerk offs who responded earlier. You see some of people on this site are still living in their parents basements & have no idea how to speak to a beautiful lady like yourself. Keep doing your thing girl. Haters gotta hate right. ;)

Keep up the great work Ashley!!!

Just started listening to Techfoolery. Ashley has so much tech cred it's ridiculous. You juvenile twits should be fired out of a cannon into a big wall.
Please, someone, ban these sexist ninnies.
I was referring to the fact that it's already 2013 and still no Monday Brief videos in 1080p?

I got to admit, the old videos showed a lot more than was needed. Either way I like your verbal skills and execution more than your looks.
I thought I heard that the WebOS purchase did not include the Palm Patents? This report says they did get the patents. Which is it? I understand why LG would make this purchase if all they really wanted was the patents.
mstrblueskys says:
HP kept the patents.
That's what I thought. Thanks.
wpavlik2 says:
Well, that just stinks...
HP isn't DOING anything with the patents, and LG makes, um, what are those things called again? PHONES!!!!
And to the Trolls commenting on Ashley's wardrobe, Do you speak to your Mom that way? (if you spoke to my mom that way, she'd beat ya... she suffers no fools) What would you say if someone spoke to your mother that way or your wife or girlfriend?
Just because you are somewhat anonymous, doesn't give you a license to be rude.

Yes, LG makes phones and Android is the most successful OS.

On a recent late summer day, with a cool front ready to push into the state, the Senior Adult Ministry (SAM) from First Baptist Church made its way to Pickens and Dumas for a day of fun, frivolity, and good old-fashioned Baptist fellowship.
The first stop was at Pickens, which is about 3 miles south of Dumas, and the home of Pickens Restaurant and Commissary. The town/plantation of Pickens was founded by Reuben Adophus Pickens around 1801 at what was known as Walnut Lake. The Pickens Restaurant serves southern/soul food and prides itself on its plate lunches, burgers, fries and onion rings and the very best chocolate pie the group ever tasted.
After leaving the restaurant, with appetites satisfied, the next stop was an old favorite, Miller's Mud Mill, located in the Brookhaven Shopping Center just off U.S. 65. The group was greeted by Gail Miller, owner and artisan, who gave the seniors a tour of her Dumas studio. Miller produces some of the most sought-after, handmade pottery, in the South. She started making pottery as a hobby 30 years ago. Each piece is a work of art and her studio is a must-see destination for travelers throughout the region. While there, Pat Crain found some lovely trivets that she intends to give as Christmas gifts, and Jeanette McGrew found a vase to match a platter that she bought from Miller earlier.
The Dumas Main Street is listed as a commercial historic district by the National Register of Historic Places. Along Main Street, you will find many interesting businesses. Ain't That Funky specializes in yard art, clothes, and what not. There, Jimmie Lee Nichols was delighted to find some unique candle-snuffers that she intends to give to her daughters.
William's Flowers and Gifts, also on Main Street, is chock-full of all kinds of interesting gifts — beautiful fall wreathes, silks/botanicals, crystal, frames, home decor, candy bouquets, yard art, and a large back room with Christmas decorations and many decorated Christmas trees. McGrew found an African violet and a piece of yard art — a brass rain gauge with a blue bird on top.
By this time, the group was having a snack attack and they decided to stop at Meador Pharmacy, also a historical point in Dumas. Meador Pharmacy has been operating continuously since 1917 and features an old-fashioned soda fountain. The fountain staff was almost overwhelmed when the seniors trooped in to order ice cream, chocolate sodas and fountain cokes. After satisfying their thirsts, the seniors were ready to head home.
Those making the trip were James House, the volunteer driver, McGrew, the organizer of the trips, Ann Adair, Marie Arnold and her guest, Grace McKnight, Audrey Borecky, Betty Craig, Crain, Sara Cromer, Ruth Henry and Nichols.

From notes; Coppery in colour with a tight, firm head. Makes a difference drinking at the brew-pub, the hops are really fresh. Plenty of fruit and floral aromas jumping out. Big, assertive bitterness supported nicely by the malt. Very well put together and probably my favourite Redoak beer.

Brilliant. This is simply brilliant.
Dark amber in colour.
The nose/taste is of fresh hops, with a strong yet appropriate bitterness.... a hint of herbal "Swedish bitters", and touch of apricot at the back. There is a great malt balance in this, that really complements the bitterness.
I don't give 5's that often. This is thoroughly deserved.

Pours a deep bronze colour. Head is stunningly dense, white and generous and retains absurdly well. Nice haze in the body, not sure it should be there, though lace is pretty much perfect.
Appealing nose. Malty with plenty of floral hop character. Lots of sauvin on there and citric hop flavours with passionfruit. Whisper of phenols lingering at the back. Very nice indeed.
First thing I notice is that the mouthfeel is very creamy. Taste is pleasant. First hit of malt is caramel with a slight cream note. Hops come through a bit late and dominate the back palate but not aggressively. Fairly floral with citric notes and a slight licorice spice. Hints of splintered wood on the very back. A mild IPA but really pleasant drinking. Enough bitterness to be an IPA but really gentle, balanced and a nice, smooth texture.
I think this is a cracking drop.

Tried on tap at the Australian Beer Festival 07, although I should really go and check out the place itself sometime.
Slightly cloudy radiant orange gold, with a very nice white head. Very nice, this one looks good.
Slight toffee crystal malt sweetness on the nose, and a big bunch of luscious tropical fruit. Sweet, but balanced with a pleasant bitter hop note. Very nice.
Taste is also good. It's supremely balanced - with a great fruity character, a sharp bitterness to cut through the potential cloying sweetness mid way through, and then it finishes with a receding, dry refreshing character. Mouthfeel reasonably smooth. Very good indeed.
Very nice. Very drinkable. This is a well balanced, well brewed beer. Great stuff.

Reviewing the bottled version, after the on-tap version certainly (and righfully imho) gained good marks being able to get such a good beer on tap at the Opera Bar.
Pours a light gold/beige one finger head.
Strong aromas of passionfruit, likewise the taste, again as with the tap version. Balanced out with hop bitterness at the back palate, however the bottled version seems quite thin in the mouth, not quite to a watery comparison, but something just not quite right.
Still a good drop

Near identical head to the kolsch - thick creamy, whiter than white. Attractive nose; a well itegrated combo of sweet fruitiness and green nettles from the hops. Very, very similar characters to taste in the front and middle palate. The finish, however, is dominated by quite a fierce hoppy / bitter punch. Resin-like notes linger on the tongue for a long time. Might be a touch aggressive and blocky on the finish but kudos to the brewery for having the guts to deliver a genuinely sharp and hoppy IPA.

Like a few before me Iw was damned impressed by this example of my sort of beer.
Dark rich and golden , pumping out herbaceous hoppiness.Plenty of bitterness that engulfs the mouth in an artistic fashion.
It has no rough edged dand , it maked we cringe thinking I just cant get this whenever I want it.
The 6.5% is lost in the fruity crispness and I would love to have a session of this one.

On tap @ Cookie as their "rotating tap beer"
Orange amber colour with a big thick head that persisted for quite while. Lots of lacing left right down the glass.
Big citrus fruit notes coming through on the nose backed up by a nice biscuity aroma.
Pretty much the same on the taste front. A very nicely balanced beer.
Mouthfeel was a bit of a let down, but still pretty good.
This seemed more like a really good APA than an IPA but that doesn't concern me. It's rare (basically non-existent) availability down here & price ($9.50 a pint) does though.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have had leads in their Eastern Conference Final series with the Boston Bruins in every game but one, Game 4, when they trailed almost from the start. However, they find themselves facing elimination in the series, down three games to two. The Lightning look to force a Game 7, while the Bruins will try to book their first trip to the Stanley Cup Final since 1990 in tonight's Game 6 at TD Garden.
For head coach Guy Boucher, the choice is Dwayne Roloson in net after Mike Smith got the go in Game 5. He says the process of telling Roloson he'd be starting came right after Game 5, saying "his reaction was the same reaction as when I had my talk with him before the game on my decision to go with the other goaltender and give him some rest. And he's got a big smile because he's rested."
While Roloson is back in, sparkplug Sean Bergenheim may not be able to go in tonight's game. Boucher called him a "game-time decision," adding that his back-up plan was "we'll go with the chemistry that we planned on, and we've got the choice between putting Tyrell in the lineup and to fill the forward spot or we put in a seventh defenseman with Randy Jones. So that's still something that we're oscillating between, yeah."
For Bruins head coach Claude Julien, tonight is all about seizing the moment, saying "I think to me, any day you come to the rink and you've got a game, especially this time of year, you've got to be excited. I'm certain there's a lot of people, a lot of players, a lot of coaches that would like to be in that position. So we take it for what it's worth.
It's a great day and an even better day with the opportunity that is in front of us."
Julien also thinks his team will have to play their best game of the series. "I'm one of those guys that believes that the best game of the series has to be the one that gives you the opportunity to clinch," he said, "and that's what we're going to need tonight. They're a good team to start with, and there's no denying that. And there's some desperation in their game as well. So two reasons to want to play your best tonight."
We'll be around all evening with updates, and you can check out Raw Charge and Stanley Cup of Chowder for more local coverage. Enjoy the game.

Quick question guys, (if you guys absolutely had to pick one of these guys) Which one do you think will have the more successful comeback attempt?
P.S. please let it be noted that I don't think either of these guys will comeback and have a huge effect on their teams. Yao would be brought back to come off the bench and have a Deke effect (best case scenario). And TIki would be brought back so that he could play dress-up on Sundays and tell all the younger guys the story of how fast life starts to turn on you after you leave the N.F.L. Also, it's definitely not certain that either of these guys suit up again at all.

Looking for any experiences that anyone might have had in converting a pumper into a straight tanker. We have six pumpers in three stations in our department, with one in each station that is very rarly used. They have 1000 gal. tanks on each. My thought was to strip the old tank, hose bed, and compartments off of two of the pumpers and put on a 2000 gal. poly tank and use the truck as a water tanker. Any thoughts good,bad, or indifferent especially from anyone who has done something like this would be very helpfull.

I would just leave them all as engines. The time it takes to get ALL of the water out of the tank is less with a pump than it is with a "conventional" style tanker, i.e. gravity dump. On one of our pumper/tankers, we can idle off all 2000 gallons out the back using a short section of soft sided suction in 90 seconds, or we can pump it off through 100' of 4 inch hose into a folding tank in 100. There is no one in our department, or any department, that can back a Peterbilt engine into a folding tank safely in 10 seconds.
All we do, when we use a folding tank, is pull up, off load some 4", put the tank fill device on the folding tank, hook it up to the truck, and open the valve.-Bozz

All I know is my neighboring department transformed a snorkel into a tanker. They had that done by US Tanker fire appaartus. Maybee call them an see what they tell you. Here is there web link;

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. -Eleanor Roosevelt
Lets not forget those lost on 9-11-01
Step 1 - before you do anything else is to determine if the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) for the chassis is high enough to safely carry the extra weight.
I tried doing a search here because I know it was mentioned before, but I *think* the standard design figure used is 10.5 Lbs per gallon combined weight for tank & water.
For your 2000 Gal. tank - that's 21,000 Lb's in tank/water weight alone. You'll still have to allow for whatever other equipment (hose, folding tank, Pump/Plumbing, etc.) you want to add.
Also - remember that the weight of your chassis itself is included in the GVWR so now you're looking at needing a GVWR > 21,000 LB + Chassis Weight + Equipment Weight + Fudge / safety factor (10% is a good place to start)
IMHO - you're on the right track but you may have to scale back to 1500 Gal to make this work. Also - I agree with the idea of keeping the pump and a couple of discharges (incl. 1 pre-connect) on here.
I will refrain from getting into a pump vs. dump debate on emptying the tank simply because I haven't really timed either one to see what works best (and what works for me may not work for you). We all know that no 2 dump sites will ever be the same and NONE are ever perfect so retaining the ability to both pump & dump will give you a more versatile apparatus.
Also by keeping at least a couple of 2-1/2" discharges (one can be reduced down for 1-1/2" or 1-3/4" hose) you retain the ability to use this as an attack piece if your pumper is down or out on another call. Once again it all goes back to versatility. You don't say how large your area is or how close your 3 stations are so this might not be an issue for you.
Hope this gives you a little more food for thought and be SURE to check that GVWR !! No point in creating an overloaded & unsafe truck.Take Care - Stay Safe - God Bless

Watch the GVWR. If your dept uses tankers in a fold-a-tank supply role I would look into outfitting the tankers with large bore Jet or gravity dumps (10" square or more) it is an extra cost but the short dump time keeps the tankers moving instead of sitting at the dump site. Many tankers that I've seen run a single dump valve from the rear with a directional "spout" to flow it off either side. We handle water supply in an area the we are first alarm mutual aid to and we make every attempt to set the folding ponds up so that tanker traffic can drive past and only stop to dump then continue on in a loop route hitting one of the engines stationed along the route at a fill site. This helps to eliminate the backing of several large trucks and keeps them from having to pass each other on our narrow winding roads. This system works well for us but I can see where it may present more problems when the lay of the land doesn't allow for reasonable loop route distances, and of course as in any tanker job the required (or should I say desired) water flow, number and size of tank trucks available and distance to fill sites all have to add up to achieve a steady water supply.

stuff i forgot to mention
After reading the replies I realized that I had forgot to mention several important facts. These are mid 70's International (I think) trucks with front mount pumps in the 750 gpm range. As fdmhbozz pointed out, I would not want to take the pump off of the front since we could still use it to pump off water with the three 2.5 outlets. Unfortunatly, on our rural volly dept. we seem to think that 2.5 hose is as big as it gets, so we only have that and 4 in. hard suction. My thought was to strip off everything behind the cab, put on a poly tank to save weight and hopefully double the water supply that each truck could carry. As N2Dfire pointed out, I need to check the GVW to see how big of a tank we can handle on the chassis, but in very general talking to some people, 2000 gal. seems to be what they think it can handle. Since these trucks are used for tankers anyway I would really like to see us get rid of all the hose (especially the two hose reals with 200 ft of 1 in booster hose), ladders, old steel tank and compartments and all the other gear that is on the trucks now and cary that much more water. Thanks for all the comments as it does give me several things to check out.

Make sure you include the engine and trans in the mix when figuring all of this out. Adding about 4 tons of weight to the truck may completely overtax both to the point of having children on bicycles passing you. Axles and brakes need to be included too.
When you have the final price for the work compare it to a new tanker, possibly on a commercial chassis. You may find that the prie difference is not that bad and you have all the benefits of a truck designed to fit the application.

Whats your budget for this project?
Are you planning on doing the work yourself?
In any case check these out, pumper/tanker built on tandem, 2500 gallon, and not that badly priced.

Another consideration...what sort of power plant do you have under this thing. We have a 3000 gallon tanker that loads fast, dumps fast...but is a fricken bear when it comes to moving. Too much weight for the engine and tranny setup. To give you an idea of how slow this thing goes, on a hill we max out going uphill at about 20mph, the only reason it gets to fires fast is that our station is at the top of a hill, so it just rolls in neutral.
Bozz,Why are you backing tankers(tenders)?Never heard of side dumps?And pumping off water?If these are older pieces often a Newton dump will unload much quicker than older pumps will.I come from an area that depends heavily on water on wheels and we almost never pump it off unless it's a real small incident.We also run multi tank "farms"so you don't need to back your petercar up in ten seconds you just need a pump operator that can run the "farm".T.C.

Why would you back a tanker? How else do you get it into position? Many country roads are not wide enough to allow a porta-tank to be set up and still allow the apparatus to pull up next to or around them, requiring the Chauffeur to back into the tank. And yes, I have heard of side dumps. We were going to get them on the first of our pumper/tankers we ordered from Custom Fire, but our friend, Jim Kirvida, told us to try using two tank-to-pump valves. If we didn't like the setup, he would have changed the truck over to Newton Dumps. Both of the pumper/tankers are setup this way. and I am pretty damn sure that they can pump off their ENTIRE load faster than any tanker in this area. NFPA 1901 allows a gravity tanker to retain 10% of its load.
That said, in the last 25 years, our department has evolved from having four engines, three tankers, a brush truck, a heavy rescue, and a ladder, to having two pumper/tankers (replacing two engines and two tankers), an Urban/Rural Interface Pumper (replacing an engine and a brush truck), and a Quint (serving as another engine if needed). In the next year, we will hopefully be adding a rescue/engine--replacing an engine and the heavy rescue--furthering ourselves from the single-dimention apparatus idea. WE ARE CUTTING OUR FLEET IN HALF!!!!! We do not have the staffing at ANY time to send 10 trucks of our own down the road.
That said, neither of the pumper/tankers have any form of gravity dump, because it is impractical for our geography to set up a porta-tank. I believe some of the people from the area that frequent this site can attest to that (You know who you are, too).

Just so you know Bozz,I also work in a "rural"area.I guess I'm fortunate to have about 80%of my response area is on a "loop"road.Anything else is handled with a rural hitch.Every tanker we've built/ordered in the last ten years(area wide)has both a pump and side and end dumps.All the pumpers have provisions so the tanks can be positioned in front or behind the pumper.This along with the looped road system allows a one way tanker travel,dump and go.We have easily maintained rates of 1100-1500 gpm sustained once the units are in place.Occasionally we have to back but the side dumps have cut this dangerous procedure by upwards of 70%.I've worked the tanker training program with a guy here that's pretty sharp.We test each truck for fill and dump rates,record them and enter them into the delivery calculator and we can tell you real close what we can deliver over a specified distance.No pump offs.The 10% doesn't bother or affect the operation as it's factored in to the delivery calculations.I'm not suggesting that my way is better than yours,I'm suggesting a method to get around a dangerous procedure.And one with a proven track record(here).I truly doubt that some of your roads are any smaller than some of mine.Like any fireground operation,the first 5 minutes spent on PROPER set up will determine your end result.Travel around the country a bit,you'll find none of us are that far apart.And somebody somewhere ALWAYS has a better "mousetrap"T.C.

There is no sense in arguing about this subject. I know what works for us, and that is pumping the tank off through two tank-to-pump valves. You know what works for you, and that is dumping your load via the forces of gravity. That is what we used to do, but Jim Kirvida sold us on the idea of strictly pumping.
Some time next week, I'll see about obtaining some exact figures for "the twins"--in regards to pumping through a stretched 4" and pumping through a 4" chunk of soft sided suction--and post the results.-Bozz
Air Force Medic
We had an arguement?
Well see Bozz,there you go.I don't see our discussion as an arguement,I see it as a useful exchange of information.While you're busy hooking and unhooking hoses,I'm going to flip a switch,dump my water and go.As a result of the fill and dump Calcs,we've changed the way we spec tank to pump piping so to allow full flow to the pump.As I mentioned in my last post,there isn't a right or wrong way to get water on the problem.You use what you're used to and what works for your system.Remember everything we discuss here benefits SOMEONE by giving them ideas they may not have considered previously.I like to keep my options open so why not have the best of both worlds,twin pump feeds(or a 4"one)AND dump valves?Thoughts to ponder.And if I happen to get your "Irish"up it doesn't really distress me,you seem to come up with some really good posts when that happens.

Hey Bozz,
Sorry for being late on the mutual aid call. LOL
I am from the same county as Bozz, in actuality I live in a community about 20 minutes away. His chief taught my fire science classes and explained some of the details on these trucks that make sense.
The reason for not putting the dump valves on the back and side of the truck is two fold, first if you can pump it off as fast or faster than a gravity dump, that gives a lot more versatility for getting the water off of the truck. It doesn't need to be dumping into a porta tank to come off the truck. I've been told that they also have a short piece of LDH where they have inserted a piece of hard suction. This is put on a discharge and "acts" like a dump chute. In this respect, you can do the drive by "Dump". I agree that doing the round trip for a tanker shuttle is great, but our area has a lot of lone, dead end roads or its just that its a 10 mile round trip for one dump, so the round trip isn't practical.
The second reason for not putting the dumps in the back is one of space conservation. The "Twins" are the trucks that carry the majority of thier structural firefighting gear. By not putting the rear dumps and associated sump, they now have the entire rear compartment to use for storage.
One thing that I would like to say is that out east, especially in PA, it seems that you have the high capacity tanker shuttles down to a science. Here in southern Wisconsin, there are too many departments that are lucky to plan for a continued operation where a 500 gpm minimum is kept up. There isn't much thinking about having a big system set up until you need it. The standard is that we'll roll to a commercial fire in a non hydranted area with two engines and two tankers. If we need more, we'll call for them, usually one or two tankers at a time. Now the issue is that we can't get the water off the tankers anywhere near as fast as the tankers are bringing it in. You just cant keep up with 1 or 2 porta tanks on the ground, set up in a way where only one or two tankers can dump at a time.
There is a dept north of here who has a very intelligent chief and set up probably the best water shuttle operation the state had seen.
They flowed 2000 gpm for two days straight at a printing plant that caught fire and collapsed. The limitation that was run into was that of the water supply in the area. They were litterally pulling water from one community or a pond/lake until it was almost out, then move out to the next one.
I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is to not limit how you put water on the fire. I've seen departments that run out of water on scene, and waited 15 minutes until the next tanker showed up. The issue is that there were 3-4 engines parked on the road that brought personnel. The tanks were full, but only 500 -750 gallons. NO, they won't work as tankers in a shuttle well, but you're looking at 1500 - 2500 gallons sitting there that you could use on the fire. You just need to be flexible in how you transport the water and move it around. You can't say, we'll only call tankers that gravity feed. That may leave 4000 gallons sitting just down the street while you wait for tankers from 10 -15 miles away. This is because they arent tankers because they pump off their water. As long as the trucks can take on, move, and dump off the water efficiently, thats what matters. It wouldn't be difficult to set up a pumper to be able to pump off water from the drivers seat if you put switches up front for th discharges (Large Diameter), left the tank to pump valves open, and left the little piece of hose hooked up to the side (not that it would take long to take off if you used 5" storz).
Anyways, the big trick is too keep your mind open and think outside the box.
Hehe slayer,see above.You're getting the grip of where I was headed.But to flat out say pumping off is faster than dumping just isn't always so.We are in an area that uses dump & go with foldatanks and rural hitches.We've got large capacity hose beds,reel trucks,relay valves and all that wonderful stuff.As long as you can lay a line and squeeze a pumper in the road beside it we can EFFECIENTLY pump over a mile of ldh.Again different strokes for different folks.A lot of people don't realize that their tank to pump piping won't necessarily flow the capacity of the pump particularly on older trucks.We SPEC ours to provide rated flow from the tank.I've put water down the road both ways but I've got to say for our area,we've found the multiport grav tankers to be the best system.And the way we set them up takes NO compartment space,all valving and chutes are aft of the compartment area.Nor is there a huge sump,just a small area just forward of the piping connection.I'm very fortunate in that a Structure alarm in my town puts 8100 gals in motion immediately,with another 13,000 from MA companies upon confirmation of a Working Fire in an unhydranted area.More is available if needed,we have a tanker task force in place for greater alarm fires.I know where you're coming from on areas employing different tactics,that's one of the neat things about our business.Someones always got(or thinks they do)a better idea.And we ALL can benefit from exposure to different concepts.But I'm inherently lazy,and if I can maintain my supply by flipping a switch and do the bulk of picking up hose with a lever and a flow control valve: WHY NOT?

As I stated before, we "got around" the problem of not being able to supply water to the pump fast enough from the tank by installing twin tank-to-pump valves.

Good to see more of Fire Truck Chuck's students. But your last statement, as quoted above, is incorrect. The big trick is to keep your mind open and think outside the folding tank.
At least some people in this county can work together.

Hello! Hope you had a nice weekend! I just wanted to pop in and do a quick weekend recap. I had a lovely weekend in Vermont, and now I'm back and ready to blog.
It was so nice to get away with my friends where no one had cell service, cable, or internet to distract them. I even stepped away from the camera (for the most part) and just enjoyed being up there without documenting everything. It's so easy for me to fall into the blogger mindset of omg-must-photograph-everything-I-eat! The weekend was a much needed change of pace!
I brought my yoga mat and running gear up in hopes of sneaking in a workout or two. I ended up going for a 25 min run the first morning we were there. When I woke up, the sun was shining, the air was crisp, and the country dirt roads were calling to me! I struggled during this run for a few reasons:
1. The air was colder than I was used to
2. There were hills in every direction
3. I may have been slightly hung over
After getting in this quick sweat session I felt 100000x better and I enjoyed my huge breakfast even more! I didn't work out again for the rest of the weekend, but I did go on a few walks. I spent the rest of my time relaxing, eating, and drinking.
All the leaves were at their peak, so it was very beautiful up there. The house has a two person swing on the porch which is overlooking a huge field with mountains in the background. It is so relaxing to sit out there with your morning coffee, or your evening glass of wine. The theme of this weekend seemed to be total relaxation for me, and it was exactly what I needed!
Now that I'm home and back to the grind, here are my workouts for the week:
Monday: 1 hour yoga class
Tuesday: OFF
Wednesday: 1 hour yoga class
Thursday: Run?
Friday: Yoga? Jillian Michaels DVD?
Saturday: Body pump
Sunday: 1 hour Vinyasa yoga
I am absolutely loving this yoga challenge! Can you tell?
How was your weekend? Have you ever been to Vermont?

I'm not sure if I adopted Lucky or vice versa.
More than 15 years ago, my sister told me that a neighboring family had moved out of the neighborhood and had left their puppy there running loose. I told her she should take the dog in, as they would be good company for each other.
She took the dog home, and they accepted one another right away. My sister named the dog Lucky, saying she was lucky to have a home again. She took Lucky with her every time she could. They would walk to the post office and walk around town. If she went out to her farm, Lucky went too.
Then my sister developed a fast-growing cancer, and died two months after it was discovered. Lucky was alone again. However, I had spent a lot of time around Lucky, so I took her in. I figured since she was an old dog, she wouldn't live long. Boy, am I glad I was wrong. Lucky has been living with me for more than three and a half years now.
She is so faithful that if I leave a room and go into another, she follows right behind me. I sit down in a chair, and she'll plop down on the floor beside me. Because she stays so close to me, I have to watch carefully when I walk so that I don't step on her.
When I leave her at home while I'm out, she waits for me by the door. When I open the door, there she is. I've even heard her start whining as she hears me outside the door.
So, did I adopt Lucky, or did Lucky adopt me? I'm not sure, but I'm happy for the adoption either way.

Stevenson won its first national championship Sunday beating RIT 16-14 in a wild up-and-down game that was apropos of the way the Mustangs' program seemed destined to break through.
In coach Paul Cantabene's nine years in Owings Mills, Md., he's put together some great teams that seemed poised to seal the deal (they're 104-14 since the university changed its name from Villa Julie after the 2008 season); talented, high-scoring, brash and stylish, they struggled to get over the hump — a hump often manifested by therival Salisbury Sea Gulls.
In jumping out to a 5-0 lead over Jake Coon's Tiger squad in the game's first 5:37, the Mustangs showed their dual nature. Cantabene is one of the game's all-time best face-off specialists and one of the position's best teachers; yet his team built that lead despite violating on the first two face-offs (they ended up violating five times in the first half, yielding three penalties). Still, face-off specialist Brett Hiken rebounded to win 5-7 in the fourth quarter and 17-27 on the day.
"I've always told Sam and Brent that I don't really care if we lose face?offs for three quarters," Cantabene said postgame. "All great face?off guys win face?offs in the fourth quarter. If you win face?offs in the fourth quarter, you're going to help us win games."
However, after building that early lead, the game was far from over. Reminiscent of Saturday's Duke-Cornell game in which each team won one second half quarter big, RIT battled back to within three at halftime (trailing 9-6), then exploded in the third quarter, outscoring the Mustangs 7-1, including two man-up goals.
"We knew it was going to be a back and forth game going into this game, so we kind of just wanted to kind of try to stay poised the whole game," RIT senior defenseman Elliot Cowburn said.
Sophomore middie Kyle Aquin was a big part of RIT's half of the back-and-forth, finishing with a career-high seven goals. He made it a new ballgame 4:32 into the third quarter, taking a wide-open backside look for an extra-man goal. The only problem for Stevenson is that the ballgame wasn't brand new because Stevenson was still two-men down. Sophomore attackman Eddie Kiesa, who finished with two goals and four assists, scored on a three-on-one moments later.
Trailing 13-10 going into the fourth quarter, Stevenson came out as quickly as they had to start the game.
"I thought we played to win the game, we didn't play to lose the game," Cantabene said. "At 13-10, when things weren't really looking good for us in the fourth quarter, in the huddle [sophomore attackman] Pat Candon was coming to me, 'Coach, don't worry, we're going to get this'; [sophomore middie] Mike Crowe came up to me, 'Coach, don't worry, we're going to get this; it's in our hands, we can handle it.'"
To open the period, Crowe drove to the crease, drew a penalty and then scored. Then sophomore attackman Mark Panneton, who finished with five goals, scored from the right wing on man-up to cut the lead to one just 90 seconds into the fourth. It was two more back to back in the next 90 seconds, giving Stevenson a 14-13 lead. To extend the lead to two, Candon posted up on the lefty wing, faked a pass up top, beat RIT goalie Pat Johnston offside high, did the Bernie and sparked an RIT timeout.
To that point, it was a high-scoring game, which — while being firmly a part of Stevenson's identity — wasn't out of RIT's depth, either. The Tigers (19-3) had only been held to single-digits three times all season, after all.
"We're comfortable in that sort of game," Coon said. "It's not something that we're not going to change anything at this point in the year. We like that up?tempo style of play. Like these guys had said, it was a game of runs. More than a lot of games I've seen, it was back and forth all day, momentum shifts."
However, it was about to become a frenetic game, which likely does uniquely suit Stevenson. Leading 16-14 with about 1:20 remaining, RIT got possession and on their clear, attackman Chris Dashiell appeared to be pushed offsides. The refs gave RIT the EMO, and Cantabene was whistled for an unsportsmanlike because of something he'd said to the ref — his second penalty of the day.
"I go, 'Hey, you've got to bail me out," Cantabene said of what he told his team in the huddle during a timeout RIT took with the flag down. "The first thing Kyle Holechek said, looked at me and said, Coach, you've had my back my whole time here, we've got your back on this one. [Freshman goalie] Dimitri [Pecunes] looked me in the face and said, 'I'm going to make that save, Coach, don't worry about it,' And he did, and they bailed me out. I told them, hey, fellas, that's what it's about. Sometimes your players got to bail you out of situations as a coach that you get yourself into."
Pecunes, who finished with 15 saves on the day, made all three of his fourth quarter saves on a sequence coming out of the timeout at 1:14 remaining two-men down, sealing the win for the Mustangs.
"It came down to really — when you're put in position to make a play you have to make a play, and the kid came up with three saves within about 15 seconds and he stole the show with a minute 30 left," said senior attackman Tyler Reid, who finished with a goal and two assists.
But for all the drama that unfolded, it seems it's only just beginning for RIT and Stevenson. After opening the 2013 seasons against each other, both coaches said postgame they plan to open the 2014 season the same way, as their young rosters will be a little older but with no smaller expectations.
