My alma mater is USM, so I pull for them (bad season...). Also, if any Mississippi team made a major bowl or were playing for the national title, I'd cheer them on.
Growing up I rooted for Michigan because I played on the Wolverines in peewee football (worst reason ever, I know). They still have a special place in my heart. If I go there to do my Ph.D. work, I will again. My brother loved Notre Dame, so I pull for them, too. Especially this season.

New Grafted DR
I received this nice grafted DR today via UPS from "AdeniumRose.com". I had it shipped 2nd Day Air from Miami and it survived the trip to Wisconsin in February. They packed it well and placed a pair of 72 hour heat packs in the wrappings. And as an extra bonus - they threw in a smaller grafted DR just for good measure! I'll definitely do business with them again...
How fantastic Scott, that looks a lovely plant. Well done to AdeniumRose for shipping it so carefully to you. How tall is it as it's difficult to tell from the picture with nothing for comparison? Did you chose the grafts or will you get a total surprise?
Gill from the UK.
Hello Gill - yes, you're right, there's nothing for reference in the photo. It's in a 10" pot, is 16" tall above the soil line and measures 18" around the base, this picture may help to put it into perspective (this is my 4' wide office window garden). I could tell it was a healthy plant as the caudex was rock hard and the plant, bare root, weighs about 3 pounds. And yes, it will be a surprise as I purchased it as "unproven", that is, it hasn't bloomed yet to prove its color. I was told that it will likely be a dark red or red/white flower, we'll see, and that's half the fun! AdeniumRose received the plant from Thailand in December 2012.
That is a beautiful plant Scott.
Looks to have 4 scions grafted onto different branches. Are they all the same or different?
Looks almost like the little branch with a bit of green leaves on it is below the grafted scion. If so wonder what it will be?
Either way,what excellent new addition to your group of Adeniums. Nice caudex on that one to.
Thanks Rick, and after the picture was taken, I sliced off that little branch that was not part of the grafts. And I don't know if the scions are the same or different as I bought it at a discount because it was unproven and the seller could not say for certain what the grafts would turn out to be. If you look closely at the picture, just above the little branch that I had removed, there is a small cluster of 3 flower buds. I'm sure that after being uprooted in Miami, shipped to Wisconsin and then being replanted here, that the buds will come to nothing, but who knows? Also note the bloom on the DR just to the right of the new plant in the latest picture; it still has an open flower that is now 10 days old...
Beautiful plant Scott. I ordered 4 plants from Adeniumrose last year and the blooms looked exactly like in the pictures. I was very happy with their service and price too.
Good choice on the sliced off that little branch, focus on all 4 grafted scions.
How nice is your window garden space and the DR's are so healthy. Hope you'll have beautiful flowers on the new DR.
I see the one that had 2 branches and you did a hard prune it awhile ago, it looks pretty good. I had a 2-branch DR too, and I want to hard prune and repot it at the same time. Do you or anyone have any ideas please advice. MyLan
Well I can only share my own experiences as I am still an amateur. I took the advice of my forum friend Gill from the UK and although I did a fairly drastic prune, repotted it and during the winter too, it survived and is doing great. The leaves are bright green and the branches are growing out. I think the fact that the plant is over 10 years old with a very well developed root system helped a lot. I kept it warm and watered following the amputation and it responded with new growth almost immediately. I sealed the cuts with honey and it prevented any discoloration of the wood. I only wish I would have known 10 years ago what I had and lifted the caudex every year and moved it into a shallower pot to limit the downward growth of the roots but oh well, live and learn...
The first bloom opened on my grafted DR that I purchased from "AdeniumRose.com". Because I purchased it "un-proven", I had no idea what flower type I was getting. There are 5 more buds on this plant getting fatter each day, so I should have more flowers to enjoy in a week or so...
That is a very nice flower and nice to be getting them now. The red stripes in the throat are similar to the 'crispum' species, maybe one of the parent plants was crosses with crispum.
Hello Scott, you have a lovely looking flower there, I hope you like it too! It's a bit more interesting with the veining I think compared to solid pink. How big are the flowers please? Very nice plant, I like it's shapely bottom!
Gill from the UK.
Gill - this bloom is about 2.5" across vs. the 3.5" pinks on the older Pruned DR. And yes, I like the flower very much! And thanks to everyone else too, it's great to have success with my new hobby. I'm so looking forward to Summer with full sunshine and higher temps for these guys and all my seedlings which I have transplanted individually into little 2" peat pots. They're all doing well too!
Great looking plants. AdeniumRose Company received two shipments recently in Late September and another one tomorrow. the ones from September are growing great - tons of leaves - ready for collectors. The ones just received will be ready in 2..3 months. All are triples and quads yellows, white with stripes, rich dark violets, reds and more desert roses.

By Eugene Levey - Change is inevitable and necessary, but it should be made for the right reasons. Unfortunately, most of the changes in recent years have robbed racing in general and racing fans in particular. I speak of the abbreviated careers of modern-day racehorses compared to their counterparts of yesteryear.
It is mid-February, and although the 3-year-olds look to be a solid bunch, there are few standouts. With question marks surrounding some of the leading contenders and the top spots up for grabs, it's time to check out the second wave, which includes several horses whose bandwagons are ready to take on passengers.

Seven Steps to Playing the Slots
21 March 2015
By John Marchel
When reviewing information about casinos revenue, what they have taken in, based on the amount of table and machines games offered, we find that they receive the most income from slot machines. The American Gaming Association, a casino trade group, reported in their annual survey that 62 percent of all casino visitors played slot machines while only 21 percent played blackjack. Poker had 7 percent of visitors playing that game, followed by craps at 3 percent, along with roulette, also at 3 percent.
That illustrates slot machines are such an important game for a casino's survival that they take great steps to insure they have the latest, best and most fun machines available for players. In fact if you examine records of gaming equipment installed in most casinos you will find that over the years casinos have been removing table games and replacing them with slot machines.
We know they make a great amount of revenue from the machines, but casino management also knows that they can't take all a player's funds away; otherwise no one would be playing the slots at all. They offer a great number of different machines, some have life changing jackpots, others have lots of small payouts but the big jackpots are rare. How the machines are laid out, free standing, or grouped together, what types of "bells and whistles" they have, and what the denomination is, all have a big impact on which machines are played. Many visitors like the Wheel of Fortune, or Elvis, or Megabucks machines.
The real question is what machine should you play? The answer is you really can't tell a winning machine for one that hardly pays at all. So what should you do? There are a few things that will help you play longer, smarter and maybe even end up a winner. Here are seven simple and easy techniques you can employ that will help you during your visits to casinos and playing slot machines.
1. Join the Slot Club
One of the first things to do when you visit a casino is to join its slot or player's club. Even if you only travel to Las Vegas or Reno once a year, it pays to join. The casinos will than begin to provide you with "comps" or complimentary items. They can range from a free t-shirt or coffee mug to free meals, hotel rooms, show tickets, and cash rebates. Remember, sign ups are free and you're not obligated to play at any certain level or amount of time.
2. Budget Your Money
Establish the amount you expect to play with during your visit. If it's over a three day period for example, divide your bankroll into three parts. Next if you want to play three times a day, morning, afternoon and evening, divide those days' funds by three. Over the three day, nine sessions, you probably won't win all nine, but by managing your budget it should help you improve your end result.
3. Pick the Best Machines
Try to find and play machines that are posted with signs saying they payout at least 97% or higher. If you can't find any that advertise that payout, you should than play only the most popular machines. The main reason is because these machines are so popular that they are most likely to have higher paybacks than most other machines.
4. Always Play the Maximum Coins
Most machines are programmed to pay off different amounts for each coin played. Look at the payoffs listed on the machine. For example, playing two coins in a multiplier machine will pay out twice as much as one coin. A three coin win will payout three times the amount that a single coin would have paid.
5. Play What You Can Afford
If you can't afford to play a three coin dollar machine, go down to a three coin 25 cent machine. You might move to a three coin five cent machine. As explained in the suggestion above, you always want to bet the maximum coins, but, if you can't afford that level, move down to a denomination level you can afford.
6. Higher means more
You should be aware that the higher the denomination machine is, the higher the payout. The 25 cent machine's payout is more then the nickel ones. Dollar machines pay better then the 25 cent machines, so if you expect to really win big you need to play at a high denomination machine, such as a dollar one. Here is one report about payouts based on the denomination played.
Coin payout
5¢ 92%
10¢ 92.5%
25¢ 95 %
$1 95.5%
$5 96.5%
7. Speed Is Expensive
Since slot machines are rated as a game of chance, and not one of skill, the faster you play, the faster you can expect to lose your bankroll. It takes a lot of self-control to play slow, but it will help to increase your chances of going home a winner.
These seven techniques might not help you to become the biggest winner in the casino, but they will certainly help you towards that goal. Lastly, be sure to have fun, if you are not enjoying the experience, stop playing!
• It was in 1932 that slot machines were first introduced to Monte Carlo in Monaco, 53 years after the casino first opened.
• The US Army operates over 5,000 recreation gambling slot machines in 320 overseas army clubs and recreational hotel facilities. The other military services operate an additional 3,000 machines also overseas. Profits are earmarked solely for capital expenditure, which support the military's moral, welfare and recreation programs, all at no cost to tax payers.
• In Nevada it is a crime to knowingly take advantage of a malfunctioning video or slot machine by playing it. In fact it's considered a felony.
• In the Far East, slot machine players win if they line up lucky eights, not sevens, as per local superstitions.
• It is a fact that slot manufactures perform more player research than any other segment of the gambling industry.
• Early American slots were first known as "Coins-in-the-Slot-Machines."

Aluminium producer's 'can do' spirit helps Russian brewers
The growing Russian beer market is an undoubted success story for the brewers operating there. But, writes David Robertson, they have been aided and abetted by an unlikely ally in the form of an aluminium producer which took the unusual decision to advertise its product - the aluminium beer can - directly to consumers, helping to boost the popularity of buying beer in cans.

VoIP service provider
A voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service provider offers VoIP Internet telephony solutions to residential and commercial customers. Also known as an Internet phone service provider, a VoIP service provider generally provides the VoIP hardware and services to subscribers at a monthly rate, although hosted VoIP services are also quite common.
As with all VoIP solutions, VoIP service providers utilize packet-switched telephony to transmit calls over the Internet as opposed to the circuit-switched telephony used by the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). VoIP calls are like regular phone calls but they're made over a broadband high speed Internet connection rather than over a regular telephone line.
The key advantage to VoIP phone calls is that unlike regular long-distance calls, calls made through a VoIP service provider are free – there are no fees beyond the cost of your Internet access.

Economist Describes a Missing Pool of Low-Income College Applicants
San Francisco
Each year thousands of high-achieving students from low-income families do not apply to selective colleges that would almost certainly accept them, according to a paper presented here on Saturday during the annual meeting of the American Economic Association.
Most such students do attend college somewhere—often at nonselective institutions where the median SAT score is hundreds of points below their own. But they miss out on the challenging course work and valuable career

IHG® Rewards Club Select Credit Card
- Annual Fee: $49 fee waived for the first year
- Foreign Fees: No
- Card Type: Hotel
The IHG Rewards Club Visa is often cited as one of the most underrated hotel credit cards, with good reason. The official offer is for 70,000 points after $1,000 spent within three months, with the first year's fee waived. The card comes with an annual free night certificate that can be used at any IHG property, including Intercontinental hotels - making this certificate worth upwards of 50,000 points. This is far more generous than some other hotel cards, which limit the categories in which free night certificates can be redeemed.
Cardholders earn 5 points per dollar at IHG hotels; 2 points per dollar at gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants; 1 point per dollar everywhere else. Moreover, you'll get a 10% rebate on award redemptions, up to 100,000 points per year. The card also comes with Platinum status, though that doesn't get you much with IHG. Still, this is a fantastic card to have in your wallet, with benefits that far outweigh the already low $49 annual fee.
- Earn 70,000 bonus points after you spend $1,000 in the first 3 months of account opening
- Enjoy a free night of card membership at over 4,700 hotels worldwide
- Earn 5 points for each $1 spent at our hotels

- Bonus points redeemable at hotels such as Intercontinental® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts and Holiday Inn®

Using Squid to filter Internet access
ACLs – Time Based
Restricting access by time is an especially useful feature of Squid for kids. Virtually every computing device now has WiFi, and I suspect at some point WiFi-capable devices will become cheap enough to give away in cereal packets. Given this trend, it seems clear that I won't be catching my kids hiding under their blankets reading a book with a flashlight; instead, they'll be surfing the web or playing online games.
To restrict web access on weekdays and leave it more open on weekends, you can use rules such as:
acl basic time MTWHF 18:00-20:00 acl basic time SA 9:00-20:00
These lines would set an ACL that allows traffic Monday through Friday from 6pm until 8pm, and on Saturday and Sunday from 9am until 8pm.
ACLs – URL Based
Squid really shines in the variety of ways it allows you to filter. For example, you can filter access based on source and destination IP, on the domain of the client, the destination domain of the request, regular expression versions of these domains, the URL, the URL excluding the protocol and hostname, and the HTTP method (GET, PUT, POST), just to name a few. One way to make all this more manageable is to use include files:
acl good_domains dstdomain "/etc/squid/good_domains.acl"
The named file would then contain entries such as
.wikipedia.org .linux-magazine.com
and so on. Basically, for any ACL type, you can use an external file. I strongly recommend doing so, because it makes things much more manageable.
Restricting by File Type and Mime Type
Some things never get old, and apparently serving malware in the form of hostile executables or files such as PDFs is still a popular and effective way to attack users. You can block files based on the
urlpath_regex, usually by blocking the file extension. However, some operating systems and applications will still load content, even if the file extensions are "wrong," so you should also block by mime type, just to be on the safe side. To block Flash videos, for example, you can do:
acl flashvideo rep_mime_type video/flv video/x-flv acl flashvideo urlpath_regex \.flv(\?.*)?$
Using Squid ACLs does have some down sides, however. For one thing, you'll need to maintain files manually and reload Squid every time you update them. To deal with this, you can use the ICAP protocol.

At Burba Dental, we want our service to be as high a quality as possible. Many patients don't realize that cosmetic dentistry is not a recognized specialty. Any general dentist can call themselves a cosmetic dentist. As a result, there is a large disparity in the quality of cosmetic work you can get from different dentists. So, what sets Dr. Burba apart from other cosmetic dentists?
An Accredited Salem, MA Cosmetic Dentist
Dr. Randall Burba is one of only a handful of dentists in the entire New England Area that has achieved accredited status with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). Only the top 1% of dentists reach this level of expertise. There is a rigorous credentialing process that contains written and oral exams, as well as submission of case studies to demonstrate their artistic ability. But what does all this mean for you?
It means you can have the smile of your dreams. It means even when your smile is designed from the ground up, it will look so natural everyone will think you were born with it. It also means Dr. Burba is so passionate about giving you the best smile possible that he will not be satisfied unless you are. In fact, he feels so strongly about this that he has a beautiful smile guarantee.
Giving Back
Dr. Burba participates in the Give Back A Smile program, designed to help victims of domestic violence. When someone is beaten by a loved one, they lose their sense of value. Volunteers from GBAS donate their time to repair the smiles of the victims, giving them a sense of pride in their smile and one less thing they're trying to hide. Additionally, Dr. Burba is doing a fundraiser for the program. If you donate as little as $80 to GBAS, you can get your teeth whitened. CLick here to learn more about the fundraiser.

Nyad resumes swim after jellyfish sting
MIAMI (Reuters) - Long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad resumed her bid on Sunday to become the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida, returning to the water after being stung in the face and eyes, presumably by a jellyfish, her team said. "She's back in! At 12:20am ET, Diana has re-entered the water," according to a posting on her Twitter account.
Protesters march in Manhattan, criticizing Wall Street
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Several hundred marchers wound their way through the streets of lower Manhattan on Saturday in the latest of a string of protests over the past week against what demonstrators saw as corporate greed on Wall Street. Police said at least 80 protesters were arrested during the march, which was meant to criticize a financial system participants said unfairly benefits corporations and the rich. They said the protests were inspired by demonstrations in Egypt and Spain.
Obama seeks to shore up black support in jobs push
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama urged black leaders on Saturday to "stop complaining" and help him push his jobs plan through the U.S. Congress, as he sought to bolster his eroding support in the black community amid concern over high unemployment. In an impassioned speech to an awards banquet of the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama likened his efforts to win approval of his $447 billion jobs package to the civil rights struggles of the 1960s and exhorted his audience to "march with me and press on."
Washington state gunman shot dead after firing near school field
SEATTLE (Reuters) - A man armed with two rifles opened fire on Saturday near where parents and students were gathered at a middle school football field in a Seattle suburb, before he was shot dead by police, authorities said. The 51-year-old gunman abandoned his Kia sedan in the center of Issaquah, Washington, blocking traffic, King County Sheriff's Department spokesman Sergeant John Urquhart said.
Beef bound for Georgia schools recalled over E. coli worries
(Reuters) - A Texas company has recalled 40,000 pounds of frozen ground beef products, shipped for distribution to Georgia schools, due to possible contamination from E. coli bacteria, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. Palo Duro Meat of Amarillo, Texas, produced the meat products on September 9 and shipped them to two warehouses in Georgia for transportation to six school districts and other institutions, the USDA said.
Heat, gusty winds fuel renewed fears in fire-weary Texas
SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Triple-digit temperatures and gusty winds in Texas on Saturday heralded the possible return of the dangerous conditions that sparked devastating brush fires earlier this month, officials said. Wildfires have charred 3.8 million acres in the state and destroyed 2,742 homes since the current wildfire season began last November, and the months of June through August in Texas were the hottest ever recorded by any state in U.S. history.
U.S. men convicted in Iran as spies head home
MUSCAT (Reuters) - Two U.S. citizens sentenced in Iran to eight years in jail for spying left for the United States on Saturday from Oman, where they had landed after being released by Iranian authorities. Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer, who were arrested while hiking along the Iraq-Iran border in 2009 and denied being spies, flew to Oman two days ago, after officials there helped secure their release by posting bail of $1 million.

Legislative leaders unanimously voted for a study of how to undo the state superintendent of public instruction law passed last year that the Wyoming Supreme Court recently declared unconstitutional.
Rep. Rick Stream (R-Kirkwood) announced he will file a "comprehensive" bill this week to address problems plaguing several of his school districts, where several thousands of students have left for better, nearby public schools.
One-third of American schools are rural, and they serve 11 million students. These schools face many of the same challenges that urban school districts do, including a high proportion of low-income students, low educational attainment among parents and low college attendance among high-school graduates.

A tenuous relationship between Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson and a new conservative board hit its breaking point Saturday when the Colorado district's longtime leader announced that she would leave earlier than expected
School officials in coastal Orange County are investigating the cost of hiring armed security guards to potentially patrol grade schools or high schools in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Trustees emphasized the exploration doesn't mean they are committed to putting guns in the hands of guards.
Increased accountability could be on the way for Minnesota's charter schools. If approved by the Legislature it would pressure charter school authorizers, the organizations that oversee the schools, to close chronically underperforming charters.

Suicide: A Child's Perspective
By misguidedmommy on April 27, 2012
Featured Member Post
I was going to hold off writing this until suicide prevention month but then two things crossed my mind:
1. If there is anyone else out there going through what I have then I don't want to wait to talk abut this.
2. If there is anyone reading this who is thinking, "suicide is going to help my loved ones, they will be better without me," I want to tell you -- YOU ARE WRONG. In fact, it's been EIGHTEEN YEARS since my father killed himself and I'm still impacted by it. You are not doing a good thing, you are not making your loved one's life easier, you are not helping anyone. In fact, in the end, there is a good chance your loved ones will end up really really pissed off at you. I wouldn't give up my husband and kids for anything, but there are a lot, A LOT, of moments in my life that sucked, that I can look back and say with certainty would never have happened had I never been involved in a suicide.
There are things I did at school, trust issues I have, things I've done to my family, people I've let walk on me and stuff that I've experimented with that looking back at my life I wish I hadn't. So please, read this and take a moment to learn what, in my experience, suicide does to your family, to your loved ones, to the life you are leaving behind, and then maybe think again before making the choice you are about to make.

I was twelve when my father killed himself. That is young. That is a very impressionable age. Eighteen years later I can say that I kind of wish I never knew. I wish people lied to me until I was older, old enough to say, "meh, really he killed himself, gee I never knew." Instead of being that young and doing every single thing wrong beginning the day I found out. When you are twelve you don't fully understand loss. What you do understand is that people are suddenly really nice to you. As a kid I learned that the boy I had a crush on was nicer to me for an entire week because my dad had died. I learned that the mean girls were nice for a few days, and I learned that people around me were saying, "go easy on her, she just lost her dad." Not every twelve year old would react like me, but my reaction?

Robby Woods
In 2010 Robby posted three podium finishes, including two podiums at his home track, Las Vegas Motor Speedway — establishing himself as a top-competitor ever since.
Mini Bio
With a father that previously raced in the ARCA and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series', it wasn't long before Woods' love for racing turned into a career. The Nevada-native began racing motocross at six and went on to compete at the junior national level before a devastating crash left him sidelined. Following the accident, Woods passion for racing was re-ignited after he attended his first short course race. At 22, Woods built his own team from the ground up and began competing in the Pro-2 division and accrued one top-ten finish in 2007 and by 2009 was atop the podium finishing second at Speedworld. In 2010 he posted three podium finishes and in 2011 established himself as a top-competitor racking up five top-three finishes in eight events.

'Sky's the Limit'
Everything happened so fast. One minute Rice Lake star and Marquette signee Henry Ellenson was trying to make a cut on an inbound play and the next the fifth metacarpal on his left hand was broken.
Wisconsin Lutheran posted its best finish at the state meet last season when it finished second to Kimberly.
Whitefish Bay distance runner Cami Davre separated herself by winning two state titles, but last year's freshmen class had plenty of other talent. Martin Luther's Brooke Blazei won a Division 2 title in the high jump.
Young Coggs won the Division 5 state basketball championship last Saturday. That few people had even heard of the school mattered little to the boys who took home the trophy.(13)
The McDonald's All-American averaged 24.6 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game this season for Dominican.(282)
After flying off the uneven bars for the final time at her final WIAA state gymnastics meet, Molly Benavides couldn't let go of the sport to which she devoted a decade of practice and passion.
There was only one area wrestler who rose to a No. 1 ranking and refused to shrink in the face of a challenge: West Bend East senior Jordan Gundrum.(2)
Nick Plachinski, a Cedarburg senior, decided to give up two sports after his sophomore year to focus on swimming. This year, he won two individual events at the state meet.
A year ago the Brown Deer boys basketball team suffered a handful of regular-season losses to larger schools and really flew under the radar. The Falcons' days as an "underdog" are probably over.
Oklahoma State's Alex Dieringer, who starred at Port Washington High School, finished his junior season undefeated, winning his second-consecutive national title at the NCAA Championships Saturday night in St. Louis.
With a 75-49 win over Mineral Point in the Division 4 championship, the Dominican Knights are now only the second team in the state's 100-year history to win four straight titles.(36)
Second-ranked Stevens Point, which took control of the game for good with an 18-8 third-quarter run, prevailed to finish the season 27-1 and win its first state title since 1994.(24)
Led by a big effort from the senior backcourt of Lewrenzo Byers and Donovan Lucas and junior Taurus Adams' double-double, Brown Deer defeated Appleton Xavier, 74-60, to win its second straight title.(2)
In the WIAA Division 5 boys state championship game Saturday the Young Coggs Prep Eagles overcame a key injury, foul trouble and an off-day to some extent to score a 56-50 victory over Hillsboro.
The Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association honored both Dominican center Diamond Stone and Rice Lake guard/forward/center Henry Ellenson.
Rice Lake's role players played an inspired game for four quarters, turning what could've been a blowout into a must-see title game, but it wasn't enough as Mount Horeb made the plays late to win, 58-46.(4)
Playing with the comfort you'd expect from a team in its home gym, the Warhawks cruised to an 82-54 victory over Madison East in a WIAA Division 1 state semifinal Friday at the Kohl Center.
Juniors Trev Anderson and Sam Hauser combined for 39 points to help Stevens Point roll over West Allis Central, 63-39, in a WIAA Division 1 boys state basketball semifinal Friday night.

St. Cloud State edges UND
ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- One year earlier, the University of North Dakota used a big-time, highlight-reel goal by Matt Frattin late in a game here to salvage a tie and jumpstart UND on a big stretch run that eventually brought the team two league championships and a Frozen Four bid.
On this Friday night, however, there was no Hobey Baker finalist to pull off some magic for UND.

GUIN POWERED WATER-SKI SURF-BOARDS Filed May 6, 1965 2, Sheets-Shee?l 2 United States Patent iiice l Patented Apr. 11, 1957 3,313,265 PGWEERED WATER-SKI SURF-BARDS .Feel B. 148 E. 48th St., New York, NSY. 10017 Filed May 6, 1965, Ser. No. 453,597 2 Claims. (Cl. 11S-7i?) This invention relates to a Powered Water-Ski Surf- Board, the Skurf-'Board using water-ski poles with inflatable plunger and container to provide lifting and balance, and including:
a lever on the surf-board for a pump operator to use;
a two-way air pump; a pressure tank to hold the air;
an inlet valve for filling the tank from an air compressor; and
a kick-lever for opening and closing the air nozzle.
The poles and the compressed air contribute power, speed, distance, safety, maneuverability and greater versatility than are available in similar equipment at present. Also, it places a new tool in the hands of the life-guard, and provides a reasonable substitute for the surf-board to the tweak-sister or the would-be expert who places his life in jeopardy by getting beyond his strength or resources while emulating stronger men. The speed and power may also help the regular to avoid sharks, barracudas, boats, other surfers, floating objects, etc. The Skurf-Poles add versatility to water sports and provide help for the learner, new thrills for the expert, and a new safety factor at the beaches.
Two other water-sport devices, similar in purpose and in several details are:
The Skurf-Pedal having two pedals for pumping air; and
Skurf-Shoes, a pair of small Skurf-Boards with pedals instead of a lever for operating the air pump. Both these enable less-skilled persons to get the feel of water-surfing in shallow water, before venturing into deep water.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent when the accompanying drawings are studied in connection with the detailed description given below. In the drawings FIG. l shows a vertical section through the Skurf- Board;
FIG. 2 is a vertical section through section 2 of FIG. l;
FIG. 3 is an enlargement of section 3 in FIG. l:
FIG. 4 is a vertical section along line 4 4 in FIG. 3;
FIG. 4A is the same as FIG. 4 except that the upper pumping arm is bent over and the cover is drawn over its base;
FIG. 5 is a vertical section through the Skurf-Board nozzle;
FIG. 6 is a vertical section along line 6 6 in FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 shows a pair of Skurf-Shoes;
FIG. 8 is a vertical section along line 8 8 in FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is an enlarged vertical section through the pumping unit and the nozzle unit areas of FIG. 8;
FIG. 10 is an enlarged vertical section through the nozzle;
FIG. l1 shows a Skurf-Pedal, a Skurf-Board with two pedals;
FIG. 12 shows one Skurf-Pole of a pair needed by most users of the Skurf-Shoes, the Skurf-Pedal and the Skurf-Board.
Turning now to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view through Skurf-Board 1 showing the essential parts of the compressed air system:
#Upper pumping lever 5 having knob 7 as a handle, extends through section 3 of the hull into two-way pump 2A (see FIG. 2) from which one-way valves 8 and 8A lead the air through tubes 9 and 9A respectively, which join at connecting valve 10, whence it ows through connecting tube 11 into inlet valve 12 in compressed air chamber 23;
As handle 5 is pushed and pulled by the user it pivots on hinge 36 and causes pump 2A to force air into chamber 23, from whence it issues through outlet 14 into nozzle 15;
From nozzle 15 the air is vented t-o the outside through a valve operated by kick-lever 17 on the end of which is a toe-extension 18 by which it may be kicked or pulled by hand or foot respectively to open or close; the toeextension rests within indentation 19 in the hull.
Another source of high-pressure air is provided by valve 20 through which compressed air may be piped from an air compressor (filling station of industrial). A visible pressure gauge 20A is provided with an automatic safety valve to prevent pressure damage.
FIG. 2 shows an enlargement of the two-Way pump 2A in FIG. 1. Lower lever 5A slides back and forth within slit 6. Compression chambers 27 and 27A are lled by the back and forth motion of left and right pumping arms 25 and 25A respectively, which are attached to pistons 26 and 25A respectively; the air thus compressed is forced Vthrough left and right one-way valves 8 and 8A respectively into left and right tubes 9 and 9A respectively.
FIG. 3 is an enlargement of section 3 in FIG. 1 showing upper lever 5 joined by pin 33 to intermediate piece 32 which runs into closure 35. Lever 5 turns on hinge 36 connected to hinge-shaft 37, both contained in closure 35 made o-f material impervious to Water, and both held firmly by extensions 34 of hinge structure 30, which in turn is held to hull 1 by screws 31.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged Vertical section through nozzle extending from chamber 23 of FIG. 1 through the junction of upper hull 1 and lower hull 1A. Air from the chamber can be vented to the outside by the action of valve lever 17 pivoting on pin 48, pulling cone extension 45A and nozzle cone 46 connected thereto from their position in nozzle opening 49 which is surrounded by annular ring 45 made of a hard strong material, on the inside of which is a ring 45A made of rubber or other resilient material. Valve lever 17 has an opening 51A through which extends a pin 50 on which cone extension 46 is attached.
FIG. 6 is a vertical section along line 6 6 of FIG. 5. Valve lever 17 forks into two sections 17A and 17B in which are two slits 51 and 51A respectively, holding pin 50 which may move freely as it pulls cone extension 45A.
FIG. 7 shows two skurf-shoes 52 and 52A with sandals 53 and 53A respectively, attached to pedals which are not shown here.
FIG. 8 is a Vertical section along line 8 8 of FIG. 7, showing Skurf-Shoe 52 with upper hull 59 in which is valve 60 for draining off accumulated water. Balancing iin 58, attached to lower hull 59A, may be detached by releasing snap-catches 58A and 58B, when the user is being pulled by a boat or is using Skurf-Poles (see FIG. 12). A combination safety valve and filling valve 60A is provided for securing instant compressed air from an air compressor. A visible gauge may be included with the valves.
An alternate method of filling is provided by pedals 54 (and 54A not shown) to which may be attached shoes 53 (and 53A not shown), or straps with snap-releases, for` holding the feet firmly somewhat as the skater or skier stablizes his skates or skis. Pedal 54 is attached to pump plunger 55 which extends into pump 57. Plunger 56 may have a safety-break by which it can be separated from lower plunger arm 55 when pedal 54 is turned. (This safety-break is not essential, is not shown here, and will not be claimed. It will be described and claimed in a. later application.)
FIG. 9 shows an enlarged vertical section through pump 57 and nozzle 62 of FIG. 8 lower plunger arm 55 is attached to piston 63 which draws air into chamber 57A on each up-stroke through one-way valve 64, then forces air out through opening 65 and one-way valve 66A leading into the compressed air chamber (66, FIG. S). From there the air enters nozzle 62 when ingercatch 82A is lifted, raising valve closure 812 the upper part of which is inclosed by impermeable sealing material 83, thus drawing rubber seal 84 from in front of valve chamber 67.
yFIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-section through valve structure 67 of FIG. 9. When finger-catch 82A is lifted valve closure 82 raises seal 84 (of rubber or other resilient material) from in front of opening 69 in front plate 68, forcing piston 74 back within structure 72 against the tension of spring 73. This uncloses openings 70 above and below so that air from passage 69 is free to flow through openings 70 and passages 71 above and below into chamber 85 whence it is jetted astern, ward thrust.
FIG. 11 shows Skurf-Pedal 76 a modication combining the shape of the Skurf-Board in FIG. 1 and the airpumping equipment of the Skurf-Shoes in FIG. 7-10. When the user presses down alternately, as on the pedals of a bicycle, on sandals 77 and 77A which are attached to pedals not shown, air is pumped into pressure tanks such as those described for FIGS. 7-10.
Obviously this is a sport for experts, as it stands: the learner will need another tool for balancing, which will now be described.
FIG. 12 shows Skurf-Pole 7S, with handle 79, cupplunger S1 and closed plastic container 89. Cup-plunger Sil is a half-sphere made of sturdy but elastic material, and functions somewhat like a toilet-plunger by catching a large bubble of air above the water as the lower edges enter the water, thus giving the user buoyancy and forward thrust through his arms. The Skur-Pole is designed to be used with the Skurf-Board (FIG. 1), Skur-Shoes (FIG. 7) or the Skurf-Pedal (FIG. 11), of the shaft and diameter of the cup-plunger will be adjusted accordingly.
I claim:
1. A water sport device combining features of water skis, land skis and a surf board, comprising in combination:
giving forand the length e a hollow oating unit shaped like a surf board;
a pressurizing means comprising:
a collapsible lever extending from above to the under side of the upper hull of the oating unit;
a water-tight bearing within the hull surrounding the lever but permitting free back and forth movement of the lever;
a two-way pump attached to the lower end of the collapsible lever and actuated thereby and contained with-in the hull;
valves and tubes attached to and running between said pump and the air tank described below;
a containing means comprising a pressure tank within said hull communicating with the pump by means of said valves and tubes; and
a controllable nozzle by which high-pressure gas is vented astern, the nozzle being controlled by a kicklever protruding upward along the stern of the oating unit and having a toe extension by which the user can kick it open to release gas and kick it shut to stop the gas, as desired, w-ithout bending over.
2. In combination, a water sport device according to clairn 1 and components for obtaining an auxiliary supply of gas from a high-pressure source such as a filling station air compressor, including:
an inlet valve on the underside of the hull of said `floating unit with a channel leading into said pressure tank through which the tank can be lled with gas to any desired pressure; and a visible gauge connected to a safety valve for preventing over-pressure in order to facilitate safe lling from said high-pressure source, said gauge and valve -being on the upper side of the hull of the floating unit.

This collection of works written by C.S. Lewis is a treasure trove to anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of his thoughts on Christianity, or who want a broader perspective of his viewpoint of the world around him. I was amazed at how relevant his works remain to us today and the precision to which he addresses moral and social issues we are still discussing.

Shelves: christianity
The volume contains numerous essays published as part of compilations that go by different titles in the U.S. It also includes Pilgrim's Regress, one of C.S. Lewis's lesser novels, an allegory that is a play on Pilgrim's Progress. It's a nice companion tome to most of your standard "collected works," which will have the better known books.

Shelves: religion, philosophy
C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors. His ability to communicate immense concepts in a logical concise way has allowed me to understand religion and faith on a deeper level.

I love how straight-forward he is about religion. It's refreshing to see someone not afraid of what he believes.
CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954.
