'Wonderful possibilities'
President Reagan celebrated Labor Day early with a Chicago speech stretching out his hand to America's working men and women. They need all the help they can get as they deal with the largest drop in buying power since 1947 -- and new versions of such problems as cheap foreign competition that concerned founders of the nation's major labor organization, the AFL-CIO, a century ago.
Yet, even in the midst of worker economic conditions that make today's look like paradise, founder Samuel Gompers looked beyond dollars and cents in a way that is only now being caught up with. In Japan, Europe, and more and more in the United States a recognition is arising that the best thing for both labor and management is the fullest development of each individual's potentiality -- something that requires all sorts of mutually respectful, two-way-street working arrangements in addition for fair remuneration.
The language may be different from the days when the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions was established in 1881 -- the parent of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) which came along later in the decade with Gompers as its first president at a salary of $1,000 a year. But the message today is much like what Gompers said:
"I do not value the labor movement only for its ability to give higher wages, better clothes, and better homes -- its ultimate goal is to be found in the progressively evolving life possibilities of those who work. There are such wonderful possibilities in the life of each man and woman!"

Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
CLEARWATER, FLA. -- I wish someone had a camera the other day after Michael Cuddyer and Jim Thome played in a minor-league game together at the Lee County Sports Complex.
This was Cuddyer's first game of the spring. Thome hit two home runs, and Cuddyer hit one onto Plantation Road that nearly hit a moving car. It was a hot afternoon in Fort Myers, and the veterans were all sweaty, with eye black smeared all over their faces.
When they left the game in about the fifth inning, their sons ran over to them. These two hulking players had huge smiles on their faces as they rode on the back of a golf cart toward the major league clubhouse, with Casey Cuddyer perched on his dad's knee, and Landon Thome on his dad's knee.
What a picture.
Today, Cuddyer and Thome climbed out of bed after a night game Wednesday in Fort Myers, so they could ride the bus to play the Phillies.
There's no doubt Cuddyer is pushing himself to get ready for the April 1 season opener. He'll be playing in a game for the fifth consecutive day, counting his three minor-league games earlier this week. Thome is making a rare road trip, with a chance to face one of his former teams and old friend Charlie Manuel.

Cairo: Embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Monday swore in a crisis government dominated by old faces.
The government, led by Ahmad Shafiq, a former army general, has seen ministers of defence, foreign affairs, information, military production, information technology, electricity, social solidarity, the environment, oil, manpower and higher education keeping their portfolios.

- An image grab taken from Egyptian state television Al Masriya shows members from Egypt's new cabinet being sworn in by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak (right) in Cairo.
Newcomers to the government include Mahmoud Wagdi as Minister of the Interior; Jaber Asfour as Minister of Culture; Zahi Hawass, Egypt's chief archaeologist, as Minister of the newly created Ministry of Antiquities; Mohsin Al Noumani as Minister of Local Development; Ayman Abu Hadeed as Minister of Agriculture; Sarniha Syed as Minister of Trade and Industry; and Ebrahim Mana'a as Minister of Civil Aviation.
Finance Minister Yousuf Boutros Gali has been replaced by Jawdat Al Malat, who has headed the audit office and gained some popularity for addressing corruption, one source said.
No ministers for tourism and education have been named, according to the official television.
Mubarak on Friday dismissed the government of Prime Minister Ahmad Nadeef after massive protests nationwide.

"PEACE FOUND WITHIN" by KAREN WILES The Blue Ridge Parkway is 469 miles long - 217 miles in Virginia, including the Skyline Drive, and 252 miles in North Carolina. It was conceived during the Great Depression -though the idea had some germination earlier - as a scenic tourist link between the two National Parks, previously mentioned. It was implemented out of a need to put people to work in 1935 during the Depression and the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) provided the labor. The Blue Ridge Parkway history is full of colorful characters and hard working, determined, supporters. The road was not easily built, nor was the route easily determined. The route through Virginia was fairly easily established, but a rather bitter rivalry...
In the ever changing fast paced technological world we live in, Karen Wiles' images are like a wind blown breath of fresh air. An enchantment where one wants to visit and then remain...she has a special sense of place and vision that is present in her vividly bold works of art that demonstrate a love and appreciation of life.

The Nature of Justifying Faith by David VanDrunen
From the Reformation to the present day, the battle for a biblical doctrine of justification has turned upon an understanding of sola fide. Justification comes by faith alone, but this is not just any faith. Justifying faith, unlike any other virtue, and in defiance of every earthly discouragement, turns away from itself, places its confidence in the victorious work of Jesus Christ, and receives his perfect righteousness as an imputed gift.
Dr. Joshua Van Ee helps us to categorize what wisdom is, and shows how the book of Proverbs induces us to follow after wisdom.
Watch ListenThe Wisdom of God or of the World?
Dr. Dennis Johnson shows that there is often overlap in the wisdom of non-Christians and the wisdom revealed in Scripture, but God's wisdom prevails over all.
Watch ListenDr. Bryan Estelle explains how life here on this earth is to stay gray, and that is what we find when we bring the wisdom books of the Bible into dialogue.

Payment processor Braintree announced a new set of tools for mobile app developers. What makes the tools interesting is that they let e-commerce, or m-commerce to be precise, merchants accept payments within a mobile app instead of having the app launch a Web browser to process the payment, a standard (though not always obvious) practice.
The company said it expects interest to be strong from developers.
"Braintree handles a tremendous amount of mobile payments volume today, and these new client libraries solve a problem for mobile app developers who want to provide the simplest and most elegant purchasing experience for the customer, instead of using a Web browser simulated to look like the app," said Braintree CEO Bill Ready.
Additionally, the new tools from Braintree help developers avoid PCI-compliance issues, the company said. It does so by encrypting payment credentials when the user enters them on the mobile device. It then passes only encrypted data from the merchant's server to Braintree for decryption and processing; thus no data is ever stored on the merchant's server. No credit card data stored on a server means it's technically out of scope for PCI.
The company said it's already processing more than $4 billion in credit card volume per year and is adding more than 100 new clients a month. Its current roster of clients includes LivingSocial, Airbnb and Shopify.
Last year the Braintree secured $34 million in Series A funding from Accel Partners.

D'apostrophe design's Remsenburg House is the gut renovation of a barn into a 5,300-square-foot residence. A key part of the design is a central spine that includes stairs connecting the floors. Here we see stairs leading to the top floor. The solid guardrails, and the way the stairway moves from an open space through one not much wider than the stairs, gives a canyon-like quality to the circulation.
Even on the exterior the central spine is evident, especially in the way the narrow windows in the middle culminate in the tallest opening, which is actually visible in the distance in the previous photo.
Back inside, we're seeing the other side of the stairs in the first photo. The solid guardrails merge with the minimalist interior.
Highpointe, designed by Begrand Fast Design, is a large project on a rocky terrain. A driveway cuts through the property, dividing it into upper and lower areas. A bridge connects the two.
This bridge, seen looking toward where the previous photo was taken, also acts as an archway, marking passage from the world to the realm of the house.
Stone and wood are the primary materials, the former covering structural columns and the latter forming beams and arches. From beneath, the wood structure is especially nice.
Given the dramatic change in elevation, the bridge connects the upper floor of the lower side and the bottom level of the upper side, seen here.
This modern box in Berkeley, Calif., designed by Charles Debbas Architecture, may not appear ripe for any meaningful passageways, but the land's steep topography offers an opportunity. Here we are seeing the rear of the house; the interesting passageway is at the front.
The house's front illustrates just how steep the land is: one floor on the front and three floors on the rear. This split-level condition means that people must descend at least one level from the garage to the house proper. This happens via a walkway along a wall on one side of the garage. What I like a lot is how the house's low roof opens up ocean views that are not apparent from the garage.
This view from the front door shows the semi-enclosed outdoor space that is created in the entry sequence. The terraced plantings are also a very nice touch.
A terracing of sorts is also apparent in this schoolhouse in Chicago renovated into a residence for a family of seven. Sullivan, Goulette & Wilson Architects designed a "stair atrium," a colorful and light-filled heart of the project.
Stairs and walls mix to create a complex space that serves the various levels of the house. The circuitous network makes moving through the stairs akin to traversing the streets of an Italian hill town.
This final example shows how color and light can combine to create a unique passageway. This straight-run stairway is lined with lime-green walls below and windows above that bring outside light to the bedroom. The treatment of the passageway makes a strong space in the middle of the house.

Building Rudder/Sealing Marine Plywood
I suppose I''ll put in my two cents.
Plywood is good for building rudders mainly because as you plane off the wood to make the foil shape, your progress will be shown on the glue lines between the plies. For a twenty-five foot boat, I''d suggest you plan to make it 1 1/2 inches wide by gluing two pieces of plywood together.
As far as the shape goes, there''s an old saying: If it looks right, it is right. Cut the initial shape out with a jig saw, then get a good and sharp block plane and go to town! Make the leading edge round and try a 5 to 1 taper for the trailing edge. Leaving a small, perhaps ¼ inch round or flat to finish the trailing edge wont hurt anything. Im sure there are some who would cringe at that shape but it will work!
What seems like a lot of work will turn to enjoyment as the curls fly away and the shape of the rudder starts to come out of the wood. Be careful here because you may find yourself actually starting to like this stuff and having thoughts about building your own boat!
Once you''ve shaped your new rudder and sanded it fair, you can coat it in two coats of fiberglass. I''d recommend epoxy instead of resin for this job. WEST, System 3, what ever will do. Paint it with two coats of epoxy then start laying down the fiberglass while the second coat is still wet.
Once the glass has kicked hard, sand the rudder fair again and paint it over. Hang it on the boat and ask her what she thinks! Just take your time and you''ll be proud of the results.

4 A fun gamePosted: 22/08/2009Recently purchased this from play.com and i'm having a fun time playing it. If you've ever played ssx tricky/ ssx 3 then i think your gunna like this game. You start by building your own atv which can be pretty much fully customized and throughout the game you unlock more parts and upgrades to make you ride even faster. There are some very minor bugs in the game but nothing thats gunna annoy you. The only reason i didnt give this 5 stars is because the game can only be played on single player or xbox live and not two players on the same console.
3 Good game but has issuesPosted: 22/08/2009I bought this game recently from play.com and have been looking forward to playing it but i've had it just over 4 days now. The game itself is rather good but if you played the 2007 version then you will notice that a lot of the commentator comments are exactly the same from the previous one. Also i dont know if it is my disc or whether its a fault on the game but sometimes when i play a match a window will pop up in the top right hand corner showing the opponent like when he's under pressure, Thats all well and good but the window doesnt always disappear meaning that when i'm trying to cue a shot up the top of the table i have this stupid window which wont go away and makes it impossible to see where the ball i'm aiming for is or where the white balls going to end up, Forcing me to restart the game. I think this is a game fault as my disc is scratch free, And, as there are no updates at this time for the game it does get kinda annoying, Especially when your half way through a game. ( I still managed to get a 105 break with the window still being there) Other than that though its a great game for all snooker fans and beginners.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowThis cozy cottage restaurant hidden in Pompano Beach has been serving German-style breakfast and lunch since 1979. As the long lines suggest, it's just about the perfect breakfast joint. On any given day, the whiteboard tacked on the tiny cottage's far wall is filled with intriguing specials. There are eggs accompanied by all manner of meat, from big ol' pork chops and New York strip steaks ($9.45) to juicy brats and griddled kielbasa - the bratwurst in particular is sausage at its finest, sourced locally and bursting with flavor. Banana and chocolate chip pancakes are as big as vinyl records and full of melting soft fruit. And asparagus omelets with creamy Swiss cheese are as bright as the sun filtering in through the cottage's windows. Everything, from the homemade mustard with horseradish and hot sauce to the superlative home fries flecked with onions, is near flawless. Cash only.

Florida may consider expanding health benefits to legal immigrants' children
TALLAHASSEE _ A bill to extend health coverage to the children of legal immigrants will return in the 2013 legislative session – with the difference that this year, it will have a sponsor in the House.
Sen. Rene Garcia, R-Hialeah, plans to bring back a version of last year's proposal (SB 1294 of 2012), said Rep. Jose Felix Diaz, R-Miami, who plans to carry the House companion.
Last year, backers couldn't find a House sponsor for the proposal to subsidize the health care of children who are in the country legally – but haven't been here long enough to qualify for the benefit.
"I think it's important to give adequate health care for kids," Diaz said. "These are kids that have every right to be in this country, and they're entitled to it."
Florida continues to rank at the bottom of the 50 states in covering children's health – 48th in the percentage of uninsured children, with 11.9 percent statewide compared to a national average of 7.5 percent.
The state ranks 49th in the number of uninsured children with 475,112. In 2011, about 579,000 children statewide were uninsured, including 358,000 low-income children who were qualified for coverage.
Last year, the Legislature passed a bill extending eligibility in KidCare to the children of most state workers – something that previously wasn't paid for. The KidCare subsidized insurance program for children is paid for jointly by federal and state governments.
This year, if Garcia's measure passes, the state would add 20,550 legal immigrant children to the KidCare rolls.
Hispanic children comprise 40 percent of the nation's uninsured children, although they account for 24 percent of the general population.
Immigration status has always been a factor in determining children's eligibility for subsidized coverage – Medicaid or the federal Children's Health Insurance Program, known as CHIP.
Before 2009, the federal welfare reform law prevented most legal immigrant children from enrolling during their first five years in the U.S. When CHIP was reauthorized in 2009, however, states were given the option of extending eligibility.
Twenty-one states have eliminated the waiting period.
There are different estimates of what the change would cost.
A 2012 study by Kidswell Florida, which favors expanded coverage, estimated the tab at $17.1 million while drawing down $40.9 million in federal matching funds.
Legislative staff last year put the fiscal impact at right around $52 million.
Diaz said he's convinced the state will prevent larger expenses on the back end – like hospital emergency room visits – by insuring more children.
"I like to think the state would save money, or I wouldn't propose the bill," he said. "I think the state pays too much on the back end."
Children's health advocates say taking a strategic approach to insuring more children is paying off.
"It's not all policy and administration," said Nick Duran of the Children's Movement of Florida. "You really need outreach."
KidCare had an outreach program until 2003, when the Legislature eliminated it. Now the outreach is done by schools, and by groups like Florida Covering Kids and Families at the University of South Florida.
According to that project's director, Jodi Ray, the group is training volunteers to help families enroll, with outreach to the Hispanic and Haitian communities a priority. They've found they must use different approaches depending on whether the communities are urban or rural, what their culture and literacy levels are, and so forth.
"There's not a one-size-fits-all to outreach," Ray said.
The Garcia-Diaz bill would complement outreach efforts by aligning state policy with the reauthorized federal program, which in turn makes more federal funding available.
"I'm excited," Duran said. "We started looking for a House sponsor as soon as session ended last year. I think this year it's a different story."

I suddenly have this feeling that I need to buy more AR-15's.
The "death star" lol
Note to self: Evil Black Rifle for Christmas.
The phrase "hanging crap" in a recent AR thread reminded me, I just got a light mount for my AR in the mail Saturday :smile:
The Dpms is the one with the magpull moe tan furniture, the other is a RRA Elite Comp that have personally drilled a dime size target 10 rounds straight off the bipod. It has a nikon BDC 3-9 mounted on it. Both are set up with badger ordinance tac latches and if you haven't installed one yet you need to, I can charge either rifle by simply swiping my off hand down the left side of the receiver. The YHM Folding front sight gas block was an addition to the dpms but came stock on the Rock, a very nice gas block setup. I love my rifles!:image035:
before and after new paint I finished today, also added Troy 13'' rail, and T1 in Larue QD
after (more suited for the area im in)
still shoots like a dream

I posted this on another forum so I figure I'd post here as well -
I'm moving away from AFG's and Magpul MS2's (for some of the time and will move away completely when I convert one of my VCAS slings to a convertible with new hardware). Have a LaRue FUG on the way and am looking to trade KAC and Gear Sector handstops for another one or two. For now, I'm running the Gear Sector vert grip and a couple Tango Down stubbies until I decide what I want to go with. I don't like the Tango Downs as much as I did a few years ago.
Sorry for the crummy cell phone pics. Believe it or not I'm actually an accomplished photographer (in my former life) and have 2 Nikon D3's and a number of Nikkor lenses. Just too lazy to get them out!
Well, here is my AR...and a couple of it with it's older cousin my AK (WASR 10) for added fun....

^^^^ that's one of the best looking AR's in existence. It's like a racecar. It's functionality makes it look so good.
Here's more of mine. I moved the front grip outward for better control. Also took advantage of the space in front of the front sight. Even with the light there, I still have use of the holosight, even the iron sights. Only had my AR for about a year, so I'm still configuring it to my likings. Though, it's pretty close to exactly how I want it. I'd like to get an ACE M4 SOCOM stock, but that's later...

Michelin will test revised tyres at Monza this week in response to the changes in measuring procedures expected at next weekend's Italian Grand Prix. However, the company insists it is not an admission that its current tyres are illegal.
In an interview with the Michelin press department issued on Wednesday, Motorsport Director Pierre Dupasquier again stressed that their tyres comply with 2003 regulations and suggested that accurately measuring tread width after a race would be extremely difficult.
"It will be almost impossible to define an objective method to measure the limits of a tread after running," he said. "A tyre when running deforms, gathers 'pick-up' off the track..."
However, amid suggestions that their tyres could be deemed illegal under the revised procedures, Dupasquier said it would be foolish for Michelin not to respond to the changes.
"The new interpretation of the rules by the FIA has forced us to react," he said. "You don't think for one moment that Michelin would not respond to the challenge?
"Our people have been working 24 hours a day since last Wednesday and new tyres are being tested in Monza as we speak. For anyone that knows anything about the tyre world, to do what we've just managed is a huge achievement and this is only possible thanks to the hard work and fast reaction time of our teams here in Clermont-Ferrand."
It also emerged on Wednesday that Bridgestone runners Ferrari had contacted the FIA expressing concerns over the width of their rivals' tyres.

El Paso Rhinos capture first Thorne Cup Title since 2008
POSTED: Sunday, April 6, 2014 - 11:15pm
UPDATED: Sunday, April 6, 2014 - 11:43pm
El Paso, TX — El Paso Rhinos had a three-goal lead after two periods and cruised the rest of the way en route to a 7-3 win over Idaho Junior Steelheads.
El Paso Rhinos got the win with help from a great game by Austin Hoff, who had two goals and one assist. Hoff scored the first of his two goals on the power play at 17:28 into the first period to make the score 2-0 El Paso Rhinos. El Paso Rhinos had taken the advantage when Idaho Junior Steelheads' Oskar Af Bjur got sent off for holding. David Nelson picked up the assist. Hoff's next tally on the power play made the score 3-1 El Paso Rhinos with 17:10 left in the second period. Andrew Bradford provided the assist.
Idaho Junior Steelheads fell victim to a deadly El Paso Rhinos power play, which ripped Idaho Junior Steelheads for four goals.
El Paso Rhinos put up an impenetrable defensive front on the penalty kill, and did not allow Idaho Junior Steelheads to score on any of its four power plays. Team's forwards weren't the only contributers offensively, and the team's defensemen showcased their scoring touch with two goals.
El Paso Rhinos additionally got points from Nelson, who also registered three goals and one assist to lead the team in points and Chris Wilhite, who also tallied one goal and one assist. Kalvis Ozols also scored for El Paso Rhinos. More assists for El Paso Rhinos came via Jiri Pestuka, who had two and Chad Cesarz, Tom Bartel, Nick Plesa, Jack Strusz, and Bryce Fink, who contributed one each.
Idaho Junior Steelheads racked up the penalties in the contest, and ended with seven minors and one major for 29 minutes in penalty time. Idaho Junior Steelheads surpassed its season average of 26.0 penalty minutes per game. Idaho Junior Steelheads kept El Paso Rhinos' goalie busy throughout the game, and Fink made 32 saves on 35 shots.
Idaho Junior Steelheads was led by Jesper Jensen, who had one goal and two assists. Jensen scored 13:25 into the second period to make the score 4-2 El Paso Rhinos. Luc Gensler assisted on the tally. Others who scored for Idaho Junior Steelheads included Dak Dice and Macky Power, who each put in one. In addition, Idaho Junior Steelheads received assists from Hunter Lester and Dimitris Jones, who each chipped in one.
El Paso Rhinos ended with 23 minutes in penalty time with four minors and one major. Sean Healy took the loss and made 13 saves before being replaced by Danny Kowalski who made nine saves. For Idaho Junior Steelheads, Gensler was ejected from the game.

Seahawks defensive tackle
Super Bowl XLVIII MVP linebacker and Southern California native
"Being a L.A. native, it's awesome to be here on the field and kind of see the big leagues in person," Smith told MLB.com before Friday's first pitch. "I'm not nervous. I think I'm a pretty good athlete. If I can't throw, we'll find out today. I've never played baseball, so we'll see."
While at the ballpark, Smith found time to chat up Tommy Lasorda, the longtime Dodgers manager (1976-96) who collected two World Series championship rings (1981, 1988) heading the club. Smith used the chance encounter to convince the Dodger great on why he should become a Seahawks fan.
@MalcSmitty explaining to me why I should become a @Seahawks fan! pic.twitter.com/nXVOFuOEuX
— Tommy Lasorda (@TommyLasorda) July 13, 2014
"I've always been a big fan of Pete, and after having a good conversation with Malcolm I think he succeeded!" Lasorda tweeted when asked about his allegiance to the Seahawks on Sunday.
So until professional football returns to the City of Angels, count Lasorda as a new supporter of the Seahawks' blue and green.

Batman, Lovecraft, and sequels, oh my!
Batman's 'Dark Knight Rises' is still awaiting a Bat foe. Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's, 'At the Mountain of Madness' is in slow gear. But many sequels are in the works, including Benji, Madagascar, and How to Train Your Dragon.
Warner Bros. Pictures/ Stephen Vaughan/AP
We received some news this week about upcoming blockbusters, but mostly we are still awaiting casting and plot developments.
Case in point, the upcoming Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises." We still don't know much but this week a couple of big rumors were debunked.
Heath Ledger's Joker (the rumor was to use unused footage from the last film) and Aaron Eckhart's Two Face are not going to be in the "threequel." So there's still lots of speculation about the next Bat foe. Will it be the Riddler? Catwoman? Clayface? Hugo Strange? Stay tuned. The movie comes out July 20, 2012.
Guillermo del Toro's 3D adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness" is still on with del Toro "rewriting and rewriting" - but no news of any casting as yet, other than a part for del Toro favorite, Ron 'Hellboy' Perlman. At least with James Cameron producing we know it will reach theaters eventually. Rumor is that filming, should start in June 2011.

Looking ahead: Five 2015 QBs to know
By Chantel Jennings
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- With a 2014 quarterback commitment locked up for Michigan, it's never too early to start looking ahead to the following classes and the players whose names could pop up on the Wolverine's radar.
Two 2015 quarterbacks on the national scene already have given verbal commitments. Dual-threat
De'Andre Johnson
(Jacksonville, Fla./First Coast) gave his verbal to Florida State in July after just one season of high school football. And USC picked up its first commitment of the 2015 class with dropback passer
David Sills
(Elkton, Md./Eastern Christian Academy). And it doesn't stop there. The 2016 class saw its first QB commitment in December with
Shea Patterson
(Hidalgo, Texas/Hidalgo) committing to Arizona.
Michigan has put out seven offers in the 2015 class -- three to running backs, three to athletes and one to a defensive end. The Wolverines probably won't extend a quarterback offer in the 2015 class anytime soon, but until then, here are some names that might be worth looking into:
Jayru Campbell
Detroit Cass Tech
Campbell's name would be the most familiar on this list to most Michigan fans. After Cass Tech's starting QB went down during the first game of Campbell's freshman year, the 15-year-old stepped in and led the Technicians to a state title. Then, he followed that performance with a second state title. Offensive coordinator Al Borges has already asked that Campbell camp at Michigan this summer and, as it is with any talent at Cass Tech, it can be assured the Wolverines will be a factor.
Jake Johnson
Dewitt (Mich.) High School
Johnson is another local kid who was on the camp circuit last summer, including a stop at Michigan's high school camp. He's more of a prototypical dropback passer who might not pick up as much national interest as other guys like Campbell. He passed for 16 touchdowns and 1,200 yards in six games last season.
Kyle Shurmur
Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward's
Shurmur is the son of recently hired Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, an MSU grad who was formerly the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. As a sophomore, Kyle was the starting QB for St. Ed's and was getting looks from schools such as Michigan State and Stanford. He's still enrolled at St. Ed's, though coach Rick Finotti wasn't sure of what Shurmur would do for his next two seasons. St. Ed's is the home of offensive lineman
Kyle Kalis
and so Michigan already has ties with the school.
Josh Rosen
Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco
As a sophomore, Rosen threw for 22 touchdowns and more than 2,000 yards. He's a dropback passer with a cannon of an arm and very impressive accuracy for such a young player. At 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, Rosen fits the mold of the taller, stronger passer that Michigan has moved toward, and Bellflower, Calif. isn't too far from Brady Hoke's old stomping grounds of San Diego, so he and his staff likely have quite a few contacts in the area.
Tyler Queen
Kennesaw (Ga.) North Cobb
Queen has dual-threat capabilities, enough to extend most plays (and sometimes break through for a big gain), but he also has a solid arm with good accuracy. Michigan hasn't heavily recruited Georgia of late. There's just one Georgia native on the current roster (walk-on defensive back AJ Pearson), no 2013 Georgia signees and just five offers out to Georgia prospects so far in the 2014 class. He seems like a longer shot, but his athleticism could be something that draws big offers.

A look inside a giant drug cartel
A bicontinental investigation is leading to arrests and searches for
The disappearance of a US Drug Enforcement Administration operative may have pushed officials to aggressively search for more victims of the Jurez cartel's drug wars, observers here say.
Although US officials have not confirmed the agent is missing, the Mexican press is reporting the DEA agent - one of four officials assigned to the US Consulate in Jurez - had a car equipped with a tracking device that led investigators to a shed on one of the ranches being searched.
So far, 65 FBI forensics experts and 600 Mexican policemen have exhumed six bodies from the sandy soil of four Jurez ranches connected with the Jurez cartel. This week-old search, plus another investigation in Buenos Aires into a Jurez cartel money-laundering "cell," are providing a new glimpse inside the cartel's operations.
The Jurez cartel, responsible for some 50 percent of illegal drugs that pass through Mexico to the US, rose in the past decade to become one of the hemisphere's - if not the world's - most powerful crime organizations Some US sources estimate the cartel's income reached as high as $200 million a week. That mind-boggling sum was not only key to the organization's rise, but also an element in its undoing after its mastermind, Amado Carrillo Fuentes, died in July 1997.
The geographic spread of investigation sites - from Los Angeles and El Paso, Texas; to Ciudad Jurez, Mexico; Mexico City; Buenos Aires; and Santiago, Chile - is a measure of the reach of a drug-trafficking gang once powerful enough to count on its payroll Mexico's equivalent of US drug czar Gen. Barry McCaffrey.
On Thursday the director-general of Interpol-Mexico, Juan Miguel Ponce Edmonson, announced that a two-year investigation into the cartel has resulted in the shutting down of its Buenos Aires money-laundering "cell." Several Argentine and Italian citizens suspected of involvement have been barred from leaving Argentina, while their properties and cash were seized.

Has anyone else heard this?
Check your transmission manual.. most do say to put in reverse while sailing, some do not, incl Yanmar, and suggest you leave it in neutral. Hurth says not to let the prop freewheel while in forward gear..
Either way, stopping the shaft will promote faster folding.. sometimes an unfolded prop will continue to spin otherwise... same with feathering. If your transmission advises against leaving the gear in reverse, you can always just do it long enough to promote folding and then leave it in neutral afterwards.

Well here is the thing the last owner put a folding prop on because he raced. I here a thud when I engage the prop. It dont back up very good. And I can only get around 2,000 rpms? If I push past that very long it starts wanting to smoke black smoke? Like ,I may be pushing too hard on the engine. any advice?
Sounds like you're overpitched.. a prop shop may be able to fix that for you and repitch your existing prop. btw that style of prop can sometimes only spin one blade open, causing a lot of vibration. If you find that happening get into the habit of giving things a quick spin in reverse prior to shifting to fwd.. seems to help. This mostly occurs when the prop comes to rest with the blades on a vertical axis, and one blade drops open due to gravity and lack of boat speed. The other blade, sitting in line with the shaft sometimes won't flip open leaving you with effectively a one blade prop - a very unbalanced circumstance!
The poor reverse performance is one of the costs of the reduced drag.. if you're not racing and want to avoid all this the Campbell Sailor prop is a good, relatively inexpensive option.

Remembering 'Coach' Stacy Hunter
POSTED: Saturday, October 20, 2012 - 9:14pm
UPDATED: Monday, October 22, 2012 - 8:02pm
JACKSONVILLE — "R.I.P. Coach Stacy"...in just several hours time on Saturday afternoon, the facebook page grew to well over 1,000 'likes.'
Stacy Dewayne Hunter was a well-known and well-liked Pop Warner coach in Jacksonville...his personal facebook page says he has also worked for the city.
Hunter owned a club on Highway 69...Stacy's.
And it's there that family and friends say he was allegedly shot and killed early Saturday morning.
Those who knew Hunter gathered in his neighborhood to remember him...some had heard he was caught in the crossfire while trying to stop a fight over money. But his cousin Antonio Holman believes the shooting was no accident.
"Stacy looked at him and told him in a joking matter that he would have to kill me in order to get this money...but...this is what happens when...you know, we don't raise our kids. We stop raising our kids and we think it's...funny to be in the streets fighting and acting foolish," Holman said.
"Just one of those people that you could go to him and ask him for the shirt off of his back and he would give you the shirt off of his back with no problem," Holman said.
Holman says the shooter ended up taking money from his cousin and shooting him three times.
In the meantime, Coach Stacy's lasting impression on Jacksonville is evident...
Comments News Comments
Hmm you are obviously related to the suspect!! There is no need for you to be going in on this man like that. It is a shame that you are putting this man down when this family is going through a very hard time. My sister was Stacy's niece and they were extremely close and every time I talk to her I hear the pain in her voice. You really need to just leave this alone and get a life.

Today's Fabulous Food Find is yet another gem from the fabulous Trader Joe's. Their Pomegranate Blueberry Sherbet is one of the absolute BEST frozen sorbets/sherbets I've ever had. It is so silky and smooth, and the sweet and tart flavor combination is perfection. It's lighter and more refreshing than fat-laden ice cream, but it's also a lot creamier than most other brands of sherbet I've tried, and believe me, I've tried a TON. It tastes real, not artificial, and is so amazingly good that I find myself making more and more quick trips to Trader Joe's just to buy more. Each 1/2 cup serving is 4 Points Plus, but if you are having a bad day and eat the whole pint in one sitting, well that ends up being 14 Points Plus, which really isn't that bad, considering. C'mon…you know you've had those kinda days… :)
Dunkin' Donuts Apple Pie Coffee – 0 Points +
If you've got a hankering for apple pie but don't want to blow a day's worth of Points Plus on a small little slice, Dunkin' Donuts' Apple Pie Coffee is a pretty delicious alternative. The coffee itself is practically calorie free, just be careful about what you add into it. But with a bit of reduced fat cream and sweetener, this is one tasty morning pick me up that will have you feeling a LOT less guilty. I love to have a small cup after dinner because I always crave something sweet. This coffee does the trick. And the bonus is that the caffeine gets me energized enough to write a new Weight Watchers Recipe for you all to read :).
Skinny Cow Cookies 'n Dough Candy Bars Made with Low Fat Ice Cream – 4 Points +
As far as low calorie prepared frozen desserts go, Skinny Cow takes the cake, in my opinion. I have tried just about every single one of their frozen sweet treats, and I have yet to be disappointed. And their new Cookies 'n Dough Candy Bars Made with Low Fat Ice Cream are no exception – they are delicious! Just the perfect size that leaves me feeling satisfied and my craving feeling conquered. It's the perfectly portion controlled goodie for when you need a sweet fix, STAT. With just the right amount of chocolate, caramel, ice cream and cookie dough chunks, I don't feel deprived and I don't feel guilty! At just 4 Points Plus per bar, Skinny Cow Cookies 'n Dough Ice Cream Bars are a fantastic way to treat yourself.
Enlightented – The Good For You Ice Cream – 2 Points +
Just spotted these new, low calorie ice cream bars at Sprouts, and they are sooooooo good, I couldn't wait to share! Enlightened, The Good For You Ice Cream, has launched a line of ice cream bars that are just 70 calories each and only 3g of sugar, with NO artificial sweeteners, and are only 2 Points + per bar. They also don't have any synthetic dyes or flavors, which is great. But most importantly, they taste fantastic, and make a great sweet tooth satisfy-er for when I need ice cream, but don't have many Weight Watchers Points Plus left to spend. Sure, there are lots of other frozen treats out there in stores that are low in Points, but I love Enlightened because they have really kept their product natural. And they are loaded with fiber and protein, so they really help keep you satisfied.
New Baskin-Robbins BRight Choices Summer Ice Cream Flavors – 2-3 Points Plus
Here it is folks, the first official day of summer! And what better way to kick off the season than with the announcement from Baskin-Robbins that they have some AMAZING new low Points Plus ice cream flavors!!! They are a part of their BRight Choices menu selections and are premium churned, light, no sugar added ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet selections. Each serving will be 2-3 Points Plusceach, which is fantastic news for Weight Watchers ice cream lovers. So now you can go out for ice cream and have some incredible options to choose from. These flavors will be available at participating Baskin-Robbins shops across the U.S. at select times during the summer months. Wanna know what the flavors are? Of COURSE you do! Don't worry…I'll tell you. Keep reading!
Weight Watchers Snack Size Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches – 3 Points +
I was at Walmart earlier this week, when I came across these tasty looking Weight Watchers Snack Size Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches that were just 3 Points + each. I LOOOOOOOOVE me some red velvet, so I snatched up a box and tore into them as soon as I got into my car. They were very rich and tasted much more cake like than I anticipated, which is a good thing. While it's certainly no big slice of red velvet cake from my favorite bakery, it's definitely a great, low calorie alternative to help take the edge off of my red velvet craving, while still keeping me on track to reach my Weight Watchers goals. With temperatures heating up, they are the perfect summer treat! Even my picky, food snob husband, who despises diet brand ice creams, like these. So far, I've only seen them at Walmart, but hopefully they'll start popping up in other grocery stores soon.
Pumpkin Pie Frozen Yogurt Recipe – 2 Points +
Ever since I got a Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker attachment for my mixer, I have been salivating over delicious ice cream recipes that I want to try. But none of them are Weight Watchers friendly, so they always end up on the back burner. But when I was trying to decide what to do with some extra pumpkin puree I had in the fridge, I decided to take a stab at making some Pumpkin Pie Frozen Yogurt. This low calorie dessert literally took me minutes to make. And then my ice cream maker did the rest. It was so flavorful and creamy…and my kids loved it! Each 1/2 cup serving is just 2 Points +, and it's a really healthier alternative to most frozen yogurts that you'd buy pre-made. After you eat all those Thanksgiving dinner calories, you can enjoy a guilt free dessert :). This year, I think I'm going to make this to put on top of my Apple Pie, instead of using the traditional vanilla ice cream. Yum! It's like combining the best of the two most popular Thanksgiving desserts into one. Enjoy!
Mini Apple Pie Recipe – 2 Points +
Mini Apple Pies that are just 2 Points + each!??!!? YES!! I was so excited to share this recipe today because I was thrilled with how the end result of these low calorie apple pies turned out. By using filo dough instead of pie crust, I was able to cut out a lot of the extra fat and calories. I also used a healthier butter spread (Brummel & Brown) to still deliver the buttery flavor but with less Weight Watchers Points. This Mini Apple Pie Recipe is perfect for when you want to enjoy a great dessert, but not go overboard on your Points. They'd make a perfect Weight Watchers Thanksgiving Dessert Recipe, but would also be great for a potluck, for your Super Bowl party, or just any old day of the week. You can even eat 2 of them for just 4 Points +! These Mini Apple Pies are a MUST make…they are easy, delicious, and such a fabulous bargain. Enjoy!
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe – 3 Points +
Well, here we are in September after Labor Day, and that means Fall is just around the corner. And so will begin the season of endless fantastical Fall recipes that will have you packing on some serious pounds if you aren't careful. But I've got some amazing Fall Weight Watchers Recipes that are SO good and yet still low in Points +. I was in the kitchen this past weekend, getting my pumpkin on with a few new low calorie pumpkin recipes that I'll be featuring this fall. Even though it's still summer, and still pretty hot, I thought I'd share a fall recipe — this amazing healthy, low Points Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe. It's made with ice, so it's still a great way to beat the heat these last few weeks of summer while still enjoying some traditional fall flavors. This Pumpkin Smoothie is loaded with good for you ingredients, it's rich, creamy, and filling, and has just 3 Points + per serving. I really wish I had some fat free whipped cream on hand when I made this, because that definitely would've made it even more spectacular (and pretty!), but I didn't, so you won't see it pictured up above, but I highly recommend adding it on. The whole smoothie recipe makes 2 servings, so it's a very nicely sized smoothie. If you love pumpkin recipes, then this low calorie Pumpkin Pie Smoothie is a must try.
Popsicle Sour Patch Kids – 1 Points +
Popsicle Sour Patch Kids
For a limited time, the Popsicle brand has released an amazingly delicious new popsicle! These lime, raspberry and orange frozen pops feature the flavors of Sour Patch Kids candy, and even though they contain no artificial sweeteners, they are just 1 Weight Watchers Points Plus each. Each Sour Patch Kids popsicle has a layer of sour on the outside and then sweet on the inside — just like the candy. I LOVE all things sweet and sour, so as soon as I spotted these in the grocery store, I scooped them, ran home and devoured one…it was SO good. This summer, I'll definitely be keeping a few boxes in my freezer, as these Sour Patch Kids Popsicles are my saving grace. They satisfy my craving for sweet and sour and are a LOT less Points than a package of Sweet and Sour Kids. What a wonderfully cool Weight Watchers snack for a hot summer's day!
Mini Cheesecakes Recipe – 2 Points +
These decadent Mini Cheesecakes are the perfect sweet treat when you need to satisfy that dessert craving. And at just 2 Points + and less than 100 calories each, they will make any Weight Watchers dessert recipe lover a happy camper. I found a traditional mini cheesecakes recipe online, similar to what my mom used to use, and then just subbed out half of the cream cheese for fat free Greek yogurt (seriously, is there any place I can't use this stuff?!?!?), and used a light cream cheese for the rest. I also used less sugar and added in some vanilla to help keep it sweet. Also, by using Reduced Fat Vanilla Wafers instead of the regular ones, you get a fantastic mini cheesecake for a LOT less fat calories and Weight Watchers Points. I topped mine with fresh blueberries and strawberries since I was making them for a Fourth of July party and I wanted a Red, White and Blue Dessert, but you can really use any fresh fruit you'd like. I've made them with cherries, with mangoes and papaya, and with kiwi. They are divine!! Enjoy.

I wear a Duluth Trading Co. vest thats made from fire hose material. I wear it any time its cool enough(Florida Resident). It does not look like a tactical vest at all. My wife says it looks good to her. She picked it out and gave it to me for Christmas. Nobody even gives me a second glance when I'm wearing it. But then again who really looks at a 50 year old gray haired guy anyway? The best thing I've found out about wearing a vest is that when I walk the dogs or take them to the park I always have a place for the leashes, treats, a water bottle and some poopy bags.

just as with all other CCW clothing, if what you wear lets you blend in or not be pointed out as packing a firearm then you can do it
but if by you wearing this vest makes you scream I'm packing then don't do it

It used to be a good idea...but one that's no longer effective if you want to be "discrete." Not so much from non-gun people...but among gun people. I had one guy come up to me and ask if I were a cop. Sheesh.

I purchased a fleece vest from J Crew when I don't want to wear a jacket or untucked shirts; but only in cool(er) Miami weather like now. I think most people still don't catch on that I'm wearing a gun in that case.

I also have a black fleece vest made by Columbia Wear that I bought at Bass Pro Shop ($29) and it works well to cover my XD .45 compact in a OWB Don Hume OT paddle holster. My problem is that fleece is not good for warmer weather. I can comfortably wear the cotton pho-tog vest until it gets mid-summer here in Memphis When it reaches 90 + humidity I'll slip my Ruger LCP in my RF pocket. Here's the Woolrich vest I have. This is great feedback, keep it coming.

Carhartt makes a great work vest that wouldn't raise an eyebrow. It has long tails for better concealment also. Another cooler weather option is the standard goose down vest. Very inconspicuous.

Every time I see someone wearing one of those (or most any other type) vests I automatically assume they're carrying. Same with most fanny packs.
Now just because I wear a vest it doesn't mean I am packing. I don't wear a vest to conceal my pistol, I wear it to carry other things. Wallet, checkbooks, buisness cards, flashlights, knives, aspirin, candy, magazines, mail. I also use it to carry spare ammo, spare pistol, Vampire Stakes, Folding saw, fishing flies, leader, hooks, fly tying vice and extra material. Fly boxes, fly treatment, spare fishing reels, Camera bodys, spare lenses, filters, film, monopods, tripods, Garbage bags of all sizes, etc., the list can go on and on. If I just wanted to conceal my handgun I could do that with a t-shirt or jacket but they don't have enough pockets for the other things I need to carry at different times. I walk most of the places I need to go so I never know just what I may need while away from the house. If I am out to a store it is many times much easier to cary my purchases in a pocket of a vest and leave my hands free to protect myself or catch myself if I slip on ice or trip over a root.
It's the guys with empty pockets that are the giveaway.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
A vest or fanny pack screams gun!
If you want to conceal, wear your gun IWB or you can also do it OWB if you wear a Hawaiian shirt or similar. IWB gives you the flexibility of tucking or not, as long as you have a tuckable holster like the Crossbreed Supertuck.
I don't care if it screams gun to gun people, I don't care if it looks "unhip" , hellfire, I am unhip. I DO care that it covers my gun so as not to start a sheeple stampede at the wrong time, and it's my man purse. I love all the pockets and use them. I've been asked if I was going fishing, to which I replied "yeah, for stupid fish, I think I just got a big one". Note- the person asking was known to me and being sarcastic.

When Tim Carman sat down with Ferran Adria for this week's article on the chef's post-El Bulli plans, the two were joined by Jose Andres, Adria's friend, former employee and the man behind such local spots as Jaleo, Zaytinya and Minibar.
Bonnie Benwick's accompanying Book Report already featured several recipes from Adria's new book, but to give you a little more of a taste of this Spanish duo, here are some gems from Jose Andres, courtesy of our Recipe Finder:
• Gambas a la Plancha (Shrimp Cooked on a Griddle), with the only two ingredients being shrimp and kosher salt.
• Marmitako (Basque Stew of Tuna, Potatoes, Peppers and Onions), a Spanish dish with origins on a fishing boat.
• Tomato Bread With Anchovies, a Catalonian tapa that will take advantage of the season's last tomatoes.
• Tortilla al Estilo Route 11 (Route 11 Potato Chips Omelet), an adapted Adria recipe that Andres included in his 2005 cookbook.

Youth in New London construct solar panels for community's storied theater
With materials measured and cut, and power tools in hand, members of the New London-Spicer Youth Energy Summit began building solar panels Tuesday at NLS Middle School.
The panels will help heat the Little Theatre in New London, part of a continuing effort by summit members to make the building increasingly energy efficient. In recent years, summit members, eighth-grade students at NLS, have also installed "green" insulation and compact fluorescent lighting at the theater.
