Semovente 75/18
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2014)
The Semovente 75/18 was an Italian self-propelled gun of the Second World War. It was built by mounting the 75 mm Obice da 75/18 modello 34 mountain gun on the chassis of a M13/40 or M14/41 tank. The first 60 were built using the M13/40 chassis and a subsequent 162 were built on the M14/41 chassis from 1941 onwards. The Semovente 75/18 was intended to be an interim vehicle until the heavier P40 tank could be available.
An Italian artillery Colonel named Sergio Berlese (who designed the Obice da 75/18 modello 34) suggested that Italy should create an armoured fighting vehicle similar to the German StuG III, which had been successful in the French campaign. The first prototype was quickly assembled and delivered, on February 10, 1941, only 13 months after the first M13/40 tank upon which it was based. After that, 60 more examples were ordered. They were delivered in 1941, and were then shipped to North Africa in January 1942. This initial batch was based on the M13 chassis, with its weak 125 hp engine (later to be replaced by one of 145 hp, with M14 chassis).
Structurally, this self-propelled gun was built with riveted steel plates, which were thicker but also less sloped than in the original tank (50 mm as against 42 mm max). Frontal armour was almost vertical, but it consisted of two plates that strengthened it when compared to a simple homogeneous steel plate.
Mechanics and technology[edit]
The vehicle had its crew compartment and drive section forward, in a large and low casemate. The engine was situated behind it, in a typical Italian design fashion. The engine compartment was not included in the same structure with the same width and height of the crew's space, but rather in a separate structure, which was sloped, somewhat smaller and had inspection panels on the roof. The mechanics were similar to those of M13/40 tanks, with eight small wheels in four trolleys which were joined in pairs by two arms. Suspensions were of the leaf spring type, which was reliable, but had low performance for speed. The transmission was located in the forward part of the vehicle, and the crew consisted of only three members: driver, gunner, and tank commander.
The main gun was a derivative of a 75/18mm gun, itself a quite modern divisional artillery piece. It was 18 calibers long, with 40° traverse and -12/+22° elevation. The gun had a muzzle brake, and there were several observation and aiming systems (binoculars, periscopes and others) for the crew. The low muzzle velocity (around 450 m/s) meant a relative short range, 9,500 m at best elevation of 45 degrees, but the installation allowed only 22° and so the range was limited to around 7–8 km. The range in direct fire mode was also limited, especially against moving targets, for the same reason. Only one roof-mounted machine gun was fitted for close defense, though sometimes it was omitted. Initially this was a 6.5 mm Breda, later upgraded to an 8 mm model. Ammunition load was typically 44 75 mm shells and 1,108 8 mm cartridges. A model RF1 CA with interphone radio was usually fitted, with the gunner also serving as radio-operator.
Although these machines were not widely known, the vehicle performed well in its role. Though it was technically similar to the StuG III, it had a totally different role, serving as divisional artillery instead of a pure assault gun. The organic structure consisted of two artillery groups for every armoured division, with two batteries each (four 75/18 each and a command vehicle). The total was of 18 75/18mm (included two in reserve) and 9 command vehicles, which were characterized by additional radio equipment and a 13 mm machine gun mounted instead of the main gun. The number originally ordered, 60 total, was enough for the three armoured divisions.
The Semovente 75/18s were widely deployed in the North African campaign and during the Allied invasion of Sicily, alongside M13/40 units to provide additional firepower. In North Africa they were quite effective against the US built M3 Grant and M4 Sherman tanks used by the British Army.
Originally, these Italian vehicles were meant as divisional artillery, but since they sported fully enclosed fighting compartments, they were well protected enough for front-line action. They could fire as indirect support, and if necessary, also act as an assault gun and anti-tank vehicle. It could be used with HE, AP and HEAT shells, and with these latter the vehicle was powerful enough to defeat Allied tanks such as the M4 Sherman. In fact, these machines were responsible for many of the successes by the Italian armoured troops during 1942-43.
In 1942, more vehicles were built: 132 or 146, but all with the M41 hull. They fought mainly in a defensive role, as their lack of turret and low profile made them ideal for this task.
The SPG 75/18 was a successful design, and despite the modest quality of Italian armoured vehicles, it performed well in service. It was employed by Italian artillery in a very innovative fashion, because these were the first SPGs employed at a divisional level. However, the rest of Italian army was seriously lacking in mobility for its artillery and these few machines (not debuting in combat until 1942) could not change the overall deficiency.
The capabilities of the 75mm HEAT round were significant because this was the only weapon mounted in Italian AFVs that was able to defeat the heavier enemy vehicles, with the likely exception of the Churchill tanks. Without this shell, the 75/18 was not as impressive, due to the low AP velocity and range.
For a self-propelled gun, its ammunition load was barely enough, as were the power and the range of the gun. The taller and open-topped later vehicles such as the M7 Priest, Sexton, and Wespe, had superior ammo loads and range. The rate of fire for the SPG 75/18 was quite slow, due to the limitations of the 3 man crew. The lack of a coaxial machine gun was also an important difference with respect to a 'real tank'. Only in 1943 were tracked supply vehicles utilized, carrying 99 shells to quickly reload these SPGs. The quantity produced, although not low by Italian standards, was nonetheless insufficient for the dual role of tank-SPG.
Starting in 1942, these vehicles fought in all of the important desert battles, with the apex at the Second Battle of El Alamein until the retreat to Tunisia, serving mainly as direct fire anti-tank and fire support.
The necessity for a longer and more powerful gun led to the development of the 75/34, 75/46 and 105/25 SPGs.
German use[edit]
After the Italian surrender in 1943, 123 Semovente 75/18 were seized by the Germans and they continued production of another 55. They were issued to six infantry divisions, two panzer divisions, three Panzergrenadier divisions, 22 SS Volunteer Cavalry Division Maria Theresa[1] and one Gebirgsdivision intended for service in Italy and the Balkans.

September sales up 3.4 percent; historically, sales fall 15 percent
From press release
Sales of homes and condominiums increased 3.4 percent from August to September, while historically sales typically fall 15 percent during this same time period.
In September, Rockford Area Realtors sold 274 properties, up 3.4 percent from 265 sold in August 2010. Since 1998, sales average a 15.1 percent drop from August to September, as activity typically slows down as summer rolls into fall. The three-month rolling average price stayed fairly constant, hitting its second-highest level of the year in September at $121,271, down slightly from $121,914 in August, the year's highest price.
"As we entered a slower season in fall and winter, the area housing market made gains in September," said Steve Bois, CEO of Rockford Area Realtors. "A combination of record low mortgage interest rates and lower home prices makes very compelling affordability conditions for buyers."
Sales for the year and inventory level of homes for sale are running even with 2009. Through September, 2,644 properties were sold this year, compared to 2,647 in 2009.
"We have many potential buyers in a 'wait and see' mode to figure out whether interest rates will continue to remain low," Bois said.
In third quarter 2003, the average 30-year mortgage interest rate was 6.26 percent; today, the average rate is around 4.5 percent. On a $200,000 home, this represents a savings of $219.37 in monthly payment.
Bois said facts indicate this may be the best time to buy in 50 years.
"It may be time to listen to people who better understand the opportunities that exist in real estate today," Bois said. "People are buying homes today so they can take advantage of a 30-year mortgage with low interest rates that deliver interest payments that get locked in at record lows, while the price of homes traditionally rise."
Bois commented that people who do not take advantage of this opportunity may look back on this time as many looked back on the 1950s and 1960s.
"If you are a first-time buyer, there are many great homes to pick from, you will have a place to call your own and a tax deduction as well," Bois said. "If you are a move up or down buyer, you can make a move and lock in a long-term, historically low mortgage interest rate."

A new stage has been revealed today for Super Smash Bros Brawl.
It's called Shadow Moses Island, and originates in the Metal Gear series. So it's Snake's home stage. It has high walls on the left and right which can be destroyed.
Metal Gears will appear in the background periodically. Also since it's his home turf, Snake can communicate with his team on this stage.
There's no place like home.
I was only taking a leak.
The walls come tumbling down, we are one.
I think you want next door.
Mama mia, you burn-a my face.

This was a really good update. I'm a little mad at snake for thinking yoshi was a girl but I still might pick him.

Their mouths don't match the voice acting. And when the metal gears come. I think part of the stage background's been obliterated.

You know, I thought about it, and I was really dumb for saying that. What was I thinking? Snake in brawl is going to be awesome. Sorry for saying that earlier. Now the only thing cooler would be if megaman or sonic were in it.

Looks neat, just hope those little character commentary things won't be mid-battle or anything.

Well YoshLee, who could blame him. Yoshi lays eggs, most people would think he's a girl if they saw him do that, if they never know what he was beforehand.

Male yoshi's lay only explosive bomb like eggs, female yoshi's make both exploding eggs, and eggs containing young yoshi's.

Imagine you are walking with two of your closest friends in town. You all feel REALLY hungry so decide to go to your favourite restaraunt ... Nandos !
Walking in the smell of chicken and spices hit you , making your mouths water instantly.
Sitting down , you order a huge amount of food as you're always hungry !
Suddenly you hear screaming and see a mob of girls gathered outside , getting overwhelmed and crying. You all shrug it off and start shovelling food into your mouth.
Your friend , Katlyn , eyes grow huge and her face turns red.
"_____ , look over there !" She hurriedly whispers to you. Turning to in the direction Katlyn is pointing your eyes bug out. Quickly turning back to your food you blush and try to regain control of your fangirling body.
"What's going on ?" Asks a clueless Sasha.
"One freaking Direction are here right now !" You look at her in disbelief as she didn't notice any of the screaming girls outside.
"Hey _____ , don't look now , but they're coming over !" Katlyn says in a low voice.
You sneak a glance through your long brown hair and sure enough 5 of the fittest boys are walking straight towards you and your friends.
"Hey beautiful" You look up and see the five boys of One Direction at your table. Your gaze immediately finds Niall , and he starts blushing. Cute !
"Hey yourself" You all chorus , smirking at the boys.
"So what's your names ?" Zayn asks.
"I'm Katlyn" She shakes the boys hands then sits down.
"I'm Sasha" She says with a flirtatious smile.
"And I'm _____" You say , eyes making there way back to Niall.
They come and sit with you , Niall on one side , Harry on the other side of you.
"So , do you like One Direction ?" Niall whispers to you.
"Yes ! You guys are amazayn" You smile and blush.
"So who's your favourite ?" He asks.
"You'll have to find out" You reply cheekily , Niall was obviously the favourite !
After you all finish eating you go to the pools , and spend 3hours swimming and mucking around , having a laugh.
You go underwater and swim along the bottom. Resurfacing you come face to face with Niall. Your face instantly goes red as he embraces you.
"So you gonna tell me your favourite band member now ?" He whispers seductively.
"You" you whisper. And then you feel soft wet lips on yours. It takes you a second to realise what's going on until you kiss back , relishing the feel of Niall.
At the end of the day you all swap numbers , promising to keep intouch.
Niall kisses you and you make plans to see each other the next day.
All three walk to your shared apartment in a daze , happy as ever.
Now the rest it up to you ...
A/N: Hey ! I hope you like it , it's my first imagine ! Comment if you want an imagine and heart ! Love y'all xx

Why do burger chains use green leaf lettuce?
- ipsedixit Jan 13, 2013 09:04 PM
Why use green leaf lettuce in a burger?
It's essentially tasteless and has the mouthfeel of wet nori. I think the worst offender might be Shake Shack, which is a travesty because they make an otherwise fine burger.
I could easily do without any greens in my burger but if you are going to adorn some greenery at least use something that serves some purpose.
Something like iceberg at least provides crunch, but green leaf just makes a burger look portrait-perfect and actually detracts from the burger's taste
but green leaf just makes a burger look portrait-perfect
You have your answer
Hmmm, I wonder if it's a somewhat regional thing? While I can think of a very few places around here that serve a burger with green leaf lettuce, the majority serve iceberg - even the chains. (But it's my favorite place which is not a chain that not only serves it, but shreds it as well. Yum.)
re: mamachef
That's another thing I don't like on my burgers ... shredded lettuce.
re: ipsedixit
"Each to his own," said the old lady as she kissed her cow. :)
re: mamachef
For some reason shredded lettuce always reminds me of grade school cafeteria hard tacos ... not that that's a bad thing.
re: mamachef
The first person that knows the entire quote in over a couple of decades that I have run into.
Well said.
This was to Mamachef upstream. Still haven't learned the new system.
re: ipsedixit
I tend to agree, ipsedixit. If I want a salad I will order it alongside my burger. I do not want it ON my burger. That applies to lettuce, tomato, and any other cold salad-like ingredients.
re: rockycat
"If I want a salad I will order it alongside my burger. I do not want it ON my burger. That applies to lettuce, tomato, and any other cold salad-like ingredients."
and yet, that's about the only way I'll have a burger (if I can't get a grilled / roasted pepper and/or mushrooms) - lettuce, tomato & mayo (preferably Cains, if I do the preparation).
I realize ketchup is probably the most common topping, but I find simply adding all that sugar rather repulsive.
re: Clams047
I think I'd like that "salad" a lot more if it weren't flavorless iceberg and less-than-flavorless pink mealy hothouse "tomato." Give me a nice peppery green salad and a good garden beefsteak tomato. Or forget them all and just give me sweet grilled onions.
re: monkeyrotica
I agree - burgers made at home are topped with tomatoes only when they're in season & from our garden or the farmers market. And in place of lettuce - even our own garden lettuce - I much prefer some fresh Arugula.
re: mamachef
If it is indeed a regional thing....I see mostly Red Leaf Lettuce here in New Jersey in restaurants.....shredded Iceberg at Fast Food places.
re: fourunder
Shake Shack, which is East Coast (NY, DC, Philly, FL, CT) uses green leaf exclusively.
Does red leaf taste any better than green?
re: ipsedixit
I think they are both tasteless....but the red leaf lettuce adds color to the platform, i.e., tomato and onion/red onion.
re: ipsedixit
Sometimes green leaf lettuce is awesome- sweet, green, crunchy, and wonderful. When it's not, it's pretty bad. Places that put leaf lettuce on their burgers do so whether it's good or bad.
Red leaf lettuce, to me, is terrible. It doesn't have the same taste as a good green lettuce, it wilts faster than anything on the planet, and you can't tell because it's already sort of brown to begin with. Yuck.
Next time say "Hold the lettuce". When you get your burger go to your table open up the burger and take the little Zip lock bag you brought containing your favorite lettuce and put it on the burger.
re: Clams047
I agree that nutritionally speaking iceberg lettuce is sort of like ricecakes.
But in a sandwich, they do provide a nice crunch, sort of a break from the richness and unctuousness of the meat, cheese, etc.
I am a "no greenery" person when it comes to burgers, but I don't mind some iceberg on my BLT, however.
re: ipsedixit
I agree, no greenery on my burger (except avocado occasionally). I dislike raw tomatoes on burgers and sandwiches as well (roasted tomatoes are good). For my BLT I actually prefer romaine - it can be a little unwieldy due to its shape but it has both crunch and flavor.
re: biondanonima
Yeah, if it's a really good burger all I need is bun.
I might go for caramelized onions and sauteed 'shrooms. Maybe.
re: Clams047
I absolutely love iceberg lettuce. Cool, crunchy, yum!
re: monkeyrotica
Not a bad idea.
re: monkeyrotica
Coleslaw. That's interesting.
re: ipsedixit
There's a scene in the film "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953) where Lauren Bacall piles coleslaw on her diner hamburger.
re: ipsedixit
'Round here they call that a "Carolina Burger." Chili topping (hot dog-style chili) and mayo-based coleslaw. A lot of people seem to like it but I'm definitely not one of them.
re: rockycat
I'm going to take a stab and say that's related to the practice of putting coleslaw on top of Carolina pulled pork sandwiches. Except most Carolina slaws are vinegar and not mayo based.
re: monkeyrotica
There are 2 types of BBQ in NC, and 2 types of slaw. Eastern style BBQ sauce is vinegar and spices, and the slaw is mayo based. Western, or Lexington, style adds some ketchup or tomato paste to the vinegar sauce and the cole slaw is dressed with the sauce, giving it a red tint.
re: carolinadawg
Thanks for reminding me about East Carolina slaw. It's been so many years since I had it, I'd forgotten such a thing even existed.
re: monkeyrotica
I can think of a few places on the Northern Gulf Coast that top a fish sandwich with slaw instead of or along with tartar sauce, but I'd never really thought of putting it on a burger before.
re: beachmouse
Depends on the slaw, I guess. Most "coleslaw" you get with fish is some horrible sickly sweet milky slop that's suffocated in industrial grade mayo. There's an 1847 slaw recipe by "Mrs. Crowen" that's just finely shredded cabbage, butter, salt, pepper, and vinegar. I think the simple flavors work the best. Just a bit of tartness to complement the other flavors in the burger. And since the cabbage is so finely shredded, it's got more texture than bland lettuce but still enough "bite" to make it interesting.
Maybe, they think it'll appeal to some customers who will see the green leaf lettuce as being healthy as it has a few more nutrients per calory than iceberg. Yet, I agree that, perhaps, a crunchier leaf would go better here.
re: Bacardi1
If it was just about looks and longevity (which I can understand and don't really blame the restaurant's reasoning for using them), then why not use Butter Lettuce?
Which, in my estimation, lasts just as long as Green Leaf, looks just as pretty, but tastes infinitely better.
re: ipsedixit
Because butter-lettuce varieties are more expensive than leaf-lettuce varieties, & you're talking about fast-food places here.
And leaf lettuce types do have a longer shelf life than butter lettuce types. I know - I grow both.
re: Bacardi1
Butter lettuce is also much more fragile than iceberg lettuce.
re: Sherri
Yes - it is more fragile, but Iceberg does tend to brown faster.
re: Bacardi1
Which is why carne asada tacos in Mexico use cabbage. It doesn't wilt as fast, holds up better without refrigeration, and when it's good it's really good. When it's bad, you don't use so much of it and it still gives a lot of crunch.
I hope this isn't considered a threadjacking.
re: EWSflash
Reading this thread, I'm starting to feel like iceberg lettuce is the ethelene-treated, flavorless, industrial hothouse "tomato" of the food world: available year-round so you can enjoy its lack of flavor even in the depth of winter.
re: redfish62
Ugh! While Kale is definitely my favorite green when cooked, I really dislike it raw. Can't think of anything I'd rather have less atop a good burger than a piece of raw Kale.
You might, however, get kids to eat less fast food burgers if you could get a raw-Kale-on-burgers thing started - lol!!
re: Bacardi1
at my workplace community garden, my "plotmate" is growing winter kale, and I don't think i've had such a sweet, sweet, crunchy, beautifully-flavored crucifer, ever. It really is sweet. I plan to grow a bunch more so we don't run out. Honestly, I drop by it on the way to lunch and pick a few leaves to nosh on the way in to the cafeteria, aka crapeteria.
It's relatively cheap, it keeps for a reasonable period of time, it is somewhat wilt resistant, it looks attractive. Iceberg is probably the second most common, shredded iceberg comes in third place. two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese - thats shredded iceberg. The fact that these are all low flavor lettuces add to their appeal. Not many people want escarole on their burger.
re: KaimukiMan
Really? I actually iceberg is most common, with green leaf maybe in a dead heat with shredded iceberg for second.
re: ipsedixit
I do like butter lettuce but, it's more limited by season, more fragile and expensive. My favorite for iceberg is an old school wedge with homemade blue cheese dressing and tons of bacon bits.

American Illustrated Magazine
American Illustrated Magazine
November 1905-October 1906 (Volumes 61-62)
American Illustrated Magazine does not explain itself. It gets right on with the story. Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, on soft, aromatic paper. Pleasantly antiquated. And illustrated of course, with photographs, like a series of bird portraits or a crocodile hunt, or with drawings that step out in front of what they were meant to describe. As if they told their own story all along.
Advertising – Paper & Printing
For the nostalgic paper chaser. Advertising – Paper & Printing. You have to feel it to believe it.
Also check out the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company's contributions to our collection. More "Inspiration for Printers."
People – Couples
The People – Couples folder has a whopping 222 images – right from early illustrations and etchings to contemporary photographs.
Come take a look at awkward couples, sad couples, passionate couples, pseudo couples, surreptitious couples, dramatic couples, dancing couples, frolicking couples and many other kinds of couples in between.
February 1970-January 1971
(12 issues; missing #4 & #8)
Album was published in London from 1970 to 1971. Its editor was Bill Jay.
It was a magazine of photography's incursions.
Every page is black and white. No ornament, austere blocks of text. The effect is like drawing a curtain, or dimming the lights in a theater, only without the direction dictated by film, leaving you free to wander.
There are no advertisements.
Its concern was the actuality of practice. Old essays followed new talents in a critical space where "art photography" was as ludicrous a term as "art painting," and what appears easy and available as a technology is, like any artistic practice, much more fugitive and essential.

What started out to be a nip-and-tuck pitchers' duel got out of hand early at Manteca High's varsity baseball diamond Tuesday.
WESTON RANCH - Alexandra Alvarado didn't get to start the game, but she got to finish it.
Sierra High's girls soccer team kicked off the first of a brutal three-game stretch this week with Monday's 8-0 blowout of visiting Sonora.
RIPON - For a half, Ripon Christian's girls soccer team gave reigning Trans Valley League champion Ripon all it could handle at Park View Elementary Monday.
Sierra High's baseball team did all of its damage early and rode the arms of three pitchers the rest of the way in its 3-1 non-league win over visiting Stagg of Stockton Monday.
WESTON RANCH - Lathrop High's sophomore team needed just the 11 runs it racked up in the first inning, but the hits kept on coming in the Spartans' 30-0 shellacking of Weston Ranch in Monday's Valley Oak League opener.
TURLOCK – Over 40 teams showed up for the Al Brenda Athletic Club Invitational in Warrior Stadium on the California State University at Stanislaus campus, but Sierra High was one squad that did more than show up, winning the girls title and taking third in the boys competition.
CLOVIS – After a dominating showing from Jackie Ketner in East Union's nightcap against Clovis High, the long drive south seemed worth the trip after the Lancers salvaged a split with a 4-0 win over the Clovis Cougars Saturday.
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Afure Jemerigbe had 14 points and nine steals as St. Mary's of Stockton clinched the Division III girls NorCal championship at Arco Arena with a 70-45 win over Sacramento Saturday.
Five area standouts will try to re-establish the North's dominance in this year's Lions All-Star Football Classic.
RIPON – Robbie De Vries took the mound in Ripon Christian's home opener and provided a masterful performance, going five innings and holding Hughson to one hit in a 4-1 Trans Valley League win Friday.
East Union High's boys and girls swim teams had a solid day in the pool Friday, defeating visiting Patterson and Ripon in a three-team dual.
RIPON - The boys singles showdown between Landon Tillema against Chris Kem had little effect on the team outcome, but it was the most tightly-contested match when Ripon Christian visited neighboring Ripon for a Trans Valley League meeting Friday.
RIPON - That was more like it.
STOCKTON – With a scheduling conflict that had Weston Ranch hosting Ceres High during the Bulldogs' spring break, the teams pushed up the date, but only Weston Ranch was ready to play in a 1-0 win Friday.
Victor Polanco has fond memories of the Central Valley High soccer field.
Three Manteca-area schools are hosting their first games in the Sac-Joaquin Section boys soccer playoffs.
RIPON - Ripon Christian is still queen of Southern League volleyball.
Southern League champion Ripon Christian capped regular-season action Thursday with a 2-1 win over visiting Gustine. The victory is the seventh straight for the Knights (12-1-1 SL, 19-4-1 overall).
East Union was officially eliminated from the playoff race Thursday when second-place Central Catholic visited and won the Valley Oak League match, 25-16, 17-25, 25-23, 25-21.
Back in August, as teams across the Central Valley prepared for tournaments and non-league games, Victor Polanco kept his team at home.
STOCKTON - Francisco Cisneros is a member of a club few coaches get to join: Club Perfect.
RIPON - The Ripon boys water polo team had shredded Valley Oak League competition leading up to Wednesday's Valley Oak League finale against Sonora, winning each contest by no less than seven goals.
Help is on the way for East Union and Weston Ranch, and just in time for their Week-9 Valley Oak League tussle at Dino Cunial Field.
Ripon can forget about that over-the-top pre-league schedule that led to its 1-4 start.
Mahir Pepic asked Manteca High head coach Rick Cuevas to bark out his time while nearing the 2-mile mark at the Eagal Lakes Resort 3.1-mile course.
Ripon showed no drop off with reserves getting ample playing time in Wednesday's three-game rout (25-11, 25-15, 25-12) of visiting Modesto Christian.
STOCKTON - The Weston Ranch volleyball team is hitting its stride.
East Union plans to throw it back to the 1970s, when losses were hard to come by and names like Herrera and Taylor were still at the forefront of the football program.
Manteca held its own against Central Catholic and nearly forced a fifth set in a 25-19, 13-25, 21-25, 24-26 Valley Oak League loss Tuesday in Modesto.

Jim Souhan analyzes the local sports scene and advises you to never take his betting advice. He likes old guitars and old music, never eats press box hot dogs, and can be heard on 1500ESPN at 2:05 p.m. weekdays, and Sundays from 10 a.m.-noon.

In 1988, the Bears and Eagles played in what became known as ``The Fog Bowl'' at Soldier Field. It was an atmospheric, beautiful mess of a game.
It's a bit foggy at TCF Bank Stadium this morning, but the players won't have any trouble seeing the ball unless things get much worse.
On to my worthless prediction:
The Packers are on an almost historic roll. The Vikings are at the juncture of their season where they know they're not going to make the playoffs, figure they probably won't have Adrian Peterson for the rest of the season, and have been visited by the Ghost of Controversies Past, in ESPN's Ed Werder. Whenever Ed shows up, something bad or crazy is happening.
So...I'll guess Packers 43, Vikings 17.
I think Teddy Bridgewater has a chance to be a good player...next year. Right now, I see a lost young man with little help around him.
The Packers have been incredible opportunistic on defense, and I think Bridgewater will give them some opportunities.
I also didn't like the way the offensive line or Jerick McKinnon played last week, and with Matt Asiata out, I can't see Ben Tate making much of a difference after a few days of preparation.
This, to me, is what you call a bad matchup.
Had a great conversation with Eden Prairie coach Mike Grant this week. It's up on Souhanunfiltered.com, along with conversations with Paul Molitor, Michael Russo, Mark Craig and Ross Bernstein.
Mike told a great bunch of stories about his father, Bud, as well as Rick Spielman, Jerry Kill, Glen Mason, Red McCombs. He also talked about the most rewarding aspect of his job, and his future.
Chicago _
Before I head to Soldier Field,here's my view of today's game between the Vikings and Bears.
Jay Cutler is just enough to a contrarian to play well today. Remember, earlier this season he led a stunning comeback victory at San Francisco.
But I can't pick that way. It's not so much that Cutler throws silly interceptions .It's that Cutler looked like he didn't want to be playing football in his last game, at Green Bay. He refused to set his feet and throw accurately even on swing passes and screens. Your franchise player not only has to play well, your franchise player has to set a standard of intensity and commitment. Cutler doesn't cmoe close in either way.
I like Mike Zimmer's defense to keep Cutler confused enough that he'll fold. Zimmer has done his best work with the front seven, creating pressure, and that should be the deciding factor today.
When the Vikings have teh ball, I look at the fact that most offenses have moved the ball very easily against the Bears this year. I think Jerick McKinnon has his best game of the season, and Teddy Bridgewater is made comfortable enough to move the offense. The return of Kyle Rudolphi - the guy I thought would be the key to the passing game this season - should be very important. Rudolph can be both the safe option for Bridgewater when he's facing pressure, and perhaps the Vikings' best deep threat.
So, my pick is Vikings 26, Bears 20.
Please don't bet the kids' college fund on that.
I've joined the @aliveandsocial podcast network, the same one that employs my old friend Jeff Dubay. Sean Barnard is my new boss.
My first podcast featured Paul Molitor and local author Ross Bernstein, who is close with Marc Trestman and has done a book with him. Ross was great on Marc's mindset.
My second was with Strib NFL writer Mark Craig, who told some great stories and offered perspective on the changing nature of the league and how we cover it.
Moving forward, I'll continue to feature my favorite writers, and peopole like Matt Birk, Craig Leipold and Roy Smalley have agreed to come on.
The podcast can be found at http://souhanunfiltered.com or via subscription on itunes at http://tinyurl.com/l7wp96m .
I'm a newbie at this, and hope to get better at is as I adapt to the format. My hope is to have conversations that will be different than what you can hear anywhere else, or at least to have some fun with some great people.
The cool thing about the @aliveandsocial network is that we also want to promote great local music. Wednesday I was at Shamrocks, and got to listen to The Last Ride and Nathan Anderson, and they are remarkably talented people.
At some point, we hope to be able to put together full nights of music.
Anyway, thanks for any support you can lend the network and my new venture.
Jerry Kill inherited a terrible football program. On Saturday, his team was far better coached and better conditioned than Michigan, and blew out the Wolverines in the Big Quiet House.
Mike Zimmer took over a losing team, had his top free agent shot in a bar, lost his franchise player to a suspension, and on Sunday beat a talented Atlanta team with a rookie quarterback.
This was one of the most impressive weekends in memory for Minnesota football coaches.
Kill and Zimmer are building programs that should win for years.
You can see Kill's touch in his team's physical play. Michigan's strength is stopping the run, yet the Gophers ran all over the Wolverines. His roster is visibly stronger than it was when he arrived, and his defense could teach NFL teams how to make plays on balls in the air.
You can see Zimmer's touch in the way his teams limit top offensive players. The Vikings made the Rams look more inept than they really are. They limited Jimmy Graham and Julio Jones, keeping either from making game-breaking plays. The only receiver who has dominated the Vikings was Julian Edelman in Week 2, shortly after the Adrian Peterson news broke, and that probably happened because the Vikings figured Xavier Rhodes could handle Edelman one-on-one, and Edelman proved too elusive for him on that day.
Zimmer and Rick Spielman also seem to have done extremely well in the draft together. Anthony Barr and Teddy Bridgewater are keepers.
Kill and Zimmer are teachers who have hired excellent staffs. What might be best for Minnesota football fans is, neither seems to be looking for their next career move. You get the sense both could be here, and winning, for a long time.
I'll be on 1500espn-am at 12:15 from Winter Park. Please follow me on Twitter at @Souhanstrib.
I'll be running Garage Logic and co-hosting Sports Talk today on 1500ESPN, 1-4. Hoping to have two friends from the great band The Jayhawks, Gary Louris and Marc Perlman, in studio at some point.
On to football...
My NFL predictions: This year, I'm going to be right on at least 3 percent of them, I promise…
MVP: Drew Brees.
Aaron Rodgers might be set up for a great season, but he'll have to share credit with Eddie Lacy and Jordy Nelson, two exceptional players. Peyton Manning will face a tougher schedule and probably not be in position to chase any records, so he could play brilliantly without matching his 2013 statistics.
Brees is set up to be just as productive as either, and he won't have to share as much credit. He relies on only one exceptional skill-position player, and that player is a tight end – Jimmy Graham, who won't produce as much as a great wide receiver. Brees should have an exceptional season and receive most of the credit for it.
Offensive player of the year (other than Brees): LeSean McCoy. It might be trendier to suggest Adrian Peterson in a new offense, or Eddie Lacy as an emerging star, but look at it this way: Last year McCoy led the NFL in rushing even though the Eagles changed quarterbacks while learning a new offense. Now Chip Kelly's system is fully in place, there is no question who the quarterback will be, and Kelly will be able to spread out defenses even more with Darren Sproles as his wild card. Only an injury will keep McCoy from being the NFL's most productive back this season.
Defensive player of the year: J.J. Watt is the best defensive player in the game, and the arrival of Jadaveon Clowney will make him more difficult to game-plan for.
Coach of the year: Chip Kelly. A great, rising coach entering his second year in a weak division. It's all set up for him.
Playoff teams:
AFC division winners: New England, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Denver.
AFC wild cards: Cincinnati, San Diego.
NFC division winners: Philadelphia, Green Bay, New Orleans, Seattle.
NFC wild cards: San Francisco, Detroit.
AFC champ: New England
NFC champ: Seattle
Super Bowl champ: Seattle
I wish I could pick someone else. But I can't. Seattle won the Super Bowl in a route while facing a record-setting offense last year, and I think Seattle will be better this year. Better at quarterback, better at receiver, and perhaps even deeper on the defensive line, with Kevin Williams joining a fierce unit. San Francisco looks vulnerable, and the 49ers are the only team that seems capable of standing up to Seattle physically. Russell Wilson is primed to have a great season.
Vikings record: 8-8. I think this will be a well-coached team that will have people excited by the end of the season, but this team will also face a brutal early-season schedule that could end its playoff hopes early.
Been at Winter Park the last two days, and head coach Mike Zimmer and offensive coordinator Norv Turner have both taken shots at Pro Football Focus' preseason individual grades.
Their message: Someone watching film who doesn't know what the players' assignments were on every play can't know how well they performed.
My takes on this:
-These guys have every right to tell us when we are, or PFF is, wrong. We also have the the right to be dubious about NFL coaches offering accurate assessments of their own players, because they so rarely do.
-Our job in the media is to use stats, whether old-school versions or advanced metrics, to illuminate subjects. But it's also our job to add the context that can make a statistic worthwhile. You have to use a combination of data, sourcing and first-person observation to complete the picture.
This is why good beat writers are so valuable. They're capable of filling in the blanks when a player has an apparently poor performance. Maybe the guy next to him missed an assignment. Maybe he's playing with a bad foot. And, yes, maybe he just played lousy.
I think Pro Football Focus does a masterful job of evaluating film, but I wouldn't take their grades as gospel, just as I wouldn't take anything an NFL coach says in public as gospel.
When I was covering the Vikings in 1999, I watched the tape of a game and downgraded the offensive line. I showed up at the facility the next day ,and Mike Tice, then the offensive line coach, called me in and showed me where I was wrong. Since then, I've been very cautious about grading out offensive line play. It really is a mystery to just about everyone who isn't in the team's offensive meeting rooms.
Over time, you get a good sense of how well a player performs - it didn't require much studying to judge Randall McDaniel as one of the best football players who ever lived - but picking apart one play or one game is risky.
I'll be on 1500ESPN at an unusual time tomorrow - 11:15 a.m.
We'll run Sunday Sports Talk from the fair, Sunday 10-noon.

What is POBA?
POBA is the first-ever "virtual cultural arts center" to celebrate the enduring and transformative power of creativity by featuring works of deceased 20th and 21st century artists that span the full gamut of artistic expression. POBA was founded to showcase, promote and preserve the creative work of exceptional artists who have died without recognition of the full measure of their talents or creative legacies. Our name derives from the Hindi word phowa – describing the transformation of consciousness at death. POBA's mission is simple: POBA aims to keep their creative works alive, and through them to inspire, provoke, intrigue, entertain, and enliven us.

UNH master gardener to share tips in Londonderry
Master gardener and Cornish Flats resident Henry Homeyer will offer gardening tips to residents during a free program at Londonderry Leach Library on March 21. (COURTESY)
"My grandpa was a pretty serious gardener," the Cornish Flats resident recalled. "I think it was fun because he understood that kids don't really like to pull weeds all day. I got to get my hands dirty and learned a lot while I was there."
Decades later, those early lessons left permanent impressions on Homeyer, a UNH master gardener whose weekly gardening column now appears in a dozen New England newspapers.
Homeyer will share his knowledge at Londonderry Leach Library later this month as part of the free program, "Growing Great Flowers in New Hampshire: Old Favorites and Lesser Known Beauties."
A regular contributor to Vermont Public Radio, Homeyer has taught sustainable gardening at Granite State College and also posts regular blogs on his website, www.gardening-guy.com.
During the March 21 program, Homeyer will discuss which varieties of flowers grow best in New Hampshire and what each needs to succeed.
He will share tips and tricks and explain how one can grow such exotic species as showy lady slipper orchids and Himalayan blue poppies - or just have better luck with the standard roses, peonies and bee balms.
"Many times people get discouraged when they buy a nice plant and in a few years it's gone," Homeyer said.
And while many New Hampshire residents are tempted to try to grow the endangered pink lady slipper orchids in their home gardens, Homeyer recommends they instead try their luck with some of the orchid's colorful cousins.
"Many other lady slipper varieties can be purchased, and they're wonderful additions to a home garden," he said.
Homeyer's presentation will emphasize the importance of gardening without chemicals, and the audience will have the opportunity to ask him questions. Growing vegetables and edible flowers is something that can be done year-round, he said.
"Organic gardening is really about stepping back and letting Mother Nature take control," Homeyer said. "I don't spray my garden for insects because in doing so, you're killing some of the beneficial bugs too. Remember, you're born with the best insecticide of all - your two fingers to pick the Japanese beetles off your flower bed."
Homeyer's presentation, which will begin at 7 p.m. on March 21, is free and open to the public. The program will take place in the library's lower-level meeting room and light refreshments will be served.

I began to write erotica in 2002, mostly for my own amusement. I submitted my stories to BDSM websites and made a discovery. My writing struck a nerve and I began to receive emails. The anonymity of the Web encouraged fans to reveal their deepest, darkest sexual ideas to me. Many wanted me to put their fantasies on paper.
My stories attracted men and women who found non-consensual sex, humiliation, incest, cuckolding, punishment scenarios and even bestiality appealing. The tales they shared often involved characters, (with them as the "star") adversaries, a theme and a story arc.
My correspondents were from all walks of life. In some cases, they had never shared their fantasies with another living soul. It revealed a depth of sexuality that is unknown to the general public and only studied and understood by a small cadre of sex researchers.
Each correspondent provided a different basis for our "collaboration." Some wrote down bullet point scenarios and scenes that excited them. Others sketched out adversaries and locales; and most had very specific sex acts in mind. One day, I decided to publish these fantasies in eBook form. This is how Private BDSM Fantasies was born.
The real value of such fantasies may be as a release mechanism similar to dreams and sleep in maintaining mental health. But, these are not clinical studies. I have no credentials, nor intent, to present a scientific study of this aspect of human sexuality. I'm just a scribbler and know a good tale when I hear it. I believe there is value in being able to see how others deal with their sexual feelings.
You may learn something by reading them; and you may be shocked, but most likely you will be fascinated and aroused. So, relax and enjoy.
All of my books in the PRIVATE BDSM FANTASY series, EROTIC NOVELETTE series and HARDCORE NOVELLAS are published by TALBOT PRESS, an alternative publisher founded in 2012.
Leslie Parma
P.S. Please email me at email@example.com and tell me your fantasies. And you may see your sex dream in eBook form.

J. Pick
on Nov. 03, 2013 :
I have been reading Erotica for more years then I plan to admit, and I have NEVER read any Story which is a Sequel to the Original, the Author wrote African Revenge, and what is so Amazing with is book it is pickup up exactly where part 1 ended, yes the characters names were changed, but the basic location is the same, it is like a continuation of Part 1 or by title African Revenge, but most "Sequels" tend to follow in a different manner, this one is a direct lead in where the other story ends so you do not miss anything, like a continuing novel, so when you Read African Revenge, the read this story, you will see clearly from the start it picks up right where the other ended, again the Charactors in this book are different from the 1st BUT the Location and Theme are the same as part 1, so you do not loose interest, you want to know what happens this time around and some of the elements of this story are enough to not only keep you ready, but your mind goes back to the 1st book and you see how it leads into this one, this is one of the best if not the best Sequel to an Erotic Novel I have ever read, the Author always sets high standards for how she writes again se has set the bar HIGH on this but meet her high standard of Erotica, quality writing hand it keep your attention through whole story
Again, this ia an Absolute MUST HAVE BOOK especially if you read African Revenge
the only thing missing is a 10 star rating instead f the Max 5 Stars
(reviewed within a week of purchase)
