The Eastern Washington University football team is going to log a lot of road miles this fall to some of the toughest football venues in America.
The Eagles visit two bowl teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, as well as travel to the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision runner-up, as EWU's 2013 schedule was officially announced January 31 by EWU athletics director Bill Chaves. For the first time in school history, Eastern's regular season will include 12 games.
Eastern, which finished 11-3 last season and advanced to the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs, opens the season Aug. 31 at Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore. Two weeks later, the Eagles travel to Ohio to play Toledo, then EWU plays at Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Texas, Sept. 28.
Collectively, those three opponents were 29-12 overall and won 16 of 17 games at home. Oregon State and Toledo both lost in bowl games last season, while SHSU defeated EWU in the playoffs to advance to the championship game in FCS, where the Bearkats lost to North Dakota State 39-13.
Providing a respite from the challenging September road schedule will be Eastern's home opener Sept. 7 versus Western Oregon. Eastern's other home games at Roos Field are Oct. 5 versus Weber State (Hall of Fame Day), Oct. 19 against Southern Utah (Homecoming), Nov. 9 against Montana State and Nov. 23 versus Portland State (Senior Day).
Game times for EWU home games will be announced at a later date, but the Sept. 7 game versus Western Oregon will most likely be a night game.
Eastern's four league road games require significant travel as well. Eastern plays its first-ever game in Grand Forks, N.D., Oct. 12 versus North Dakota, tangles with Montana in Missoula Oct. 26, travels to Idaho State in Pocatello Nov. 2 and makes its final road trip of the regular season at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo on Nov. 16.
A year ago, Eastern shared the Big Sky Conference title with Montana State and Cal Poly, as all three teams finished 7-1 in the league. The Eagles finished ranked fourth in FCS, while Sam Houston State was second, MSU fourth and Cal Poly 12th.
Oregon State was 9-4 overall and 6-1 in the Pac-12 Conference in 2012, ranked 19th nationally. The Beavers ended the season by losing 31-27 to Texas is the Valero Alamo Bowl.
Toledo advanced to its third-straight bowl game, falling to Utah State 41-15 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise. The Rockets finished 9-4 overall and 6-2 in the Western Division of the Mid-American Conference.
Sam Houston State has now lost the last two title games in FCS, and edged EWU 45-42 in the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs Dec. 15, 2012, at Roos Field. The Bearkats finished the season 11-4 overall and 6-1 in the Southland.

The QSART is a test that measures the autonomic nerves that control sweating. The test is useful in assessing autonomic nervous system disorders, peripheral neuropathies and some types of pain disorders. The test requires a mild electrical stimulation on the skin called iontophoresis, which allows acetylcholine, a naturally occurring chemical, to stimulate sweat glands. The QSART measures the volume of sweat produced by this stimulation.
The technician will discuss the steps of the test and any questions you may have. You will be asked to remove your shoes and socks. The technician will wipe the skin on your leg and wrist with acetone, alcohol, then a tissue to wipe it dry. Four electrodes filled with acetylcholine are then placed on three areas of the leg and one on the wrist. The iontophoretic stimulators are turned on and sweat responses are measured. The test takes approximately 45 minutes. A mild burning discomfort may be experienced at the site of the stimulation during the test. Please wear loose clothing on the day of the test.
You can eat a light breakfast. Do not eat or drink anything with caffeine, or smoke four hours prior to the test.
There are some medications that can interfere with the test. Please call 216.444.5596 with your medication list. Do not take any over the counter cold or cough medications, antihistamines, antidepressants, or diuretics 48 hours prior to the test.
The Neuromuscular Staff evaluates the data collected by the technician and the final report is sent to the doctor who referred you for the tests (usually within one week). Your doctor will provide you with the results.

The Space at Westbury
250 Post Avenue,
5 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 162 comments
Only one booking for the entire month of August on the 1st…the rest of the month is empty!
Too many performing arts spaces on Long Island; one, long established, already in Westbury. Poor management, opening was more than a year behind schedule and the bookings are few and far between; bad location.
Posting an update. Unfortunately not many shows going on, actually this past whole week absolutely nothing. It is another summer of drunk guys hanging around with no activity. We were promised "something going on 365 days a year" to quote it's management's Facebook post. Not even the lounge is open every night! 10 events going on for the rest of this month is better than it was, but that's still 10 days out of just over 20. And most events do not sell out, I was surprised that Billy Idol didn't sell out, because they do have quite a few big names performing at The Space. I'm sharing a link to a recent article. http://thewestburytimes.com/2014/06/bid-talks-revitilization/ It's more of a pitch to the Westbury BID than anything else. I live here and don't see much of a difference due to the lack of shows. The Village will not do anything more to curb the loitering. My bet is people are turned off from coming here because of what they see on Post Ave with loitering & bodegas all over the place. It's such a shame really.
Gotta agree with the previous post, for the month of March there's only 5 shows listed. Most nights passing by there's no activity, not even the Marquee is lit. And the lounges are still closed. Not even sure what's going on with the "His & Her's" lounge across the street. I was hoping for a more lively spring & summer in this town, but I fear its just gonna be another bunch of nights with nothing but drunk guys loitering around and no activity. I just dont see how this place can stay in business at this rate.
Anyone who has ever walked out onto a bare stage with only the 'ghost light' on for illumination knows what the developer of the Westbury Theater forgot: an empty theater is only a shell, until the moment a show is in it. The occasional one-day event booking may be nice, but one can't keep a building alive, much less an entire community, with a policy like that. He needs a resident producer/director to fill the space with ongoing entertainment, offering runs of at least one week as the old Westbury Music Fair and Mineola Playhouses did in their heyday. Oh, and while I am at it, let me throw out a few other observations: [1] from their web site, the new interior looks tacky, and glitzy in a cheap sort of way, but that may be a matter of taste. What is not a matter of taste is the fact that the photographs are all too dark and are shot using the wrong lens. One gets no sense of the feeling the space can have and the relationship between the house and the stage. Loose the lobby photos that look like the place is still under construction and lighten the others up using basic Photoshop functions and/or take new and better pictures if you really want to attract business/rentals. [2] Further along those lines of thought, the owner/managers should add some basic technical information about the stage's equipment package and capabilities for potential renters (they can look at the site for the arts center in Raleigh, NC for a good example of what I am talking about. And [3] 'The Space at Westbury' is a LOUSY name for a theater. Better to call it the Westbury Theater and Event Center. At least that conveys something…some identity and purpose! When it comes to theaters, I am VERY DUBIOUS about villages and property owners taking advice from 'marketing' and other MBA type hucksters, who come up with concepts/names like 'The Space.' They'd be much better off talking to theater people, with a measure of horse sense, instead. :>)
I think these startups like The Space and the Suffolk should pick the brains of the successful operations, particularly Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center.
Lots of work going on with the lounge area today, hopefully a good sign.
So after three years it still isn't finished. Unless things turn around it will be out of business before it's completed. Was an unrealistic venture to begin with.
I have taken photos of the theater to show you what's going on. It appears all work has stopped on the lounge as no progress has been made. Even the lobby looks rather bleak. First photo is of the outside, second is the lobby through the doors, and the third is what was supposed to be The Lounge which was supposed to open this fall, which obviously isn't happening. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v88/Btraindash/Snapshot-1060_zpsdf85e246.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v88/Btraindash/Snapshot-1062_zps7c0244c6.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v88/Btraindash/Snapshot-1065_zps69461e6b.jpg
Patchogue seems to be doing alot better though, there's shows most nights, in the next month they have stuff going on almost every night, especially holiday shows. The Space at Westbury has only 6 scheduled events for the next month. The difference here also is Patchogue has plays & holiday shows whereas The Westbury has mostly rock artists and comedians. I view it as a serious problem when a venue cant seem to schedule many acts. Most are similar to NYCB, which may be an issue in itself. I pass by The Space practically everyday and it's depressing seeing such a beautiful place languishing day after day with nothing going on.
I think Huntington stands apart from the other locations you mention. That strip of New York Avenue, where the Paramount is located, is such a hot spot on weekends, I don't think it even needs the theater to remain vibrant. Though, I'm sure it helps. I met some friends for dinner and drinks at a local restaurant, just a block and a half from the Paramount last weekend, and the street was hopping. Lots were packed, and local pubs and restaurants all seemed to have good patronage. A significant portion of the crowd at the bar were waiting to go in to the ZZ Top concert at the Paramount, and someone there told me that a few solitary seats were still available for the show. I can recall being on this same strip a few years ago, before the Paramount opened, and when the former IMAC was still shuttered, and the crowds did not seem noticeably smaller, nor the bars and restaurants any less crowded, than they were on my recent visit.
Anyway, point being, you can't really compare Westbury to Huntington. There really is nothing else going on along Post Ave. In that regard, it probably has more kinship with Riverhead, Patchogue, and Bay Shore – all sleepy little business districts, compared to Huntington.
NYCB Theater, as the Music Fair is now known, is in a fairly desolate (at night, anyway) stretch of office parks and light commercial strips, but it still seems to draw its usual roster of nostalgia acts and comics throughout the summer (and even during other seasons, though not quite as abundantly). I have a feeling, it gets the business it does, because promotors know it, and are used to booking it. It's like a reliable fixture on the circuit.
How many of these venues can Long Island support? The Suffolk in Riverhead has a lot of shows scheduled but one of the merchants said they weren't doing well. Bolton in Patchogue has a very low profile. There is activity at Patchogue. Don't know how the Paramount in Huntington is doing. Even the Music Fair, or whatever it's called these days, doesn't have as many. WHPAC is a smaller space but seems to attract diverse acts. Don't know how well they do.
I signed up just to post my observations since I'm a Westbury resident. The theater outside looks very nice, and I'm sure the inside is too. But there's hardly anything going on. I read that NY Times article, the owner said that there would be stuff going on almost every day with a new bar and lounge by the fall, well, it's almost the end of November and there's still nothing going on. There's hardly any shows, I would say one show a week would be pushing it, in fact it's been over two since the last one. The next show isn't until next Wed the 27th. There was to be a sushi bar and bar opening right across the street, haven't seen any progress on that either, and the store that the sushi bar was to move into has "for rent" signs on it again. The news stories and elected officials will say how the town has been revitalized, but as a resident I can tell you not much has changed. Still shady people hanging around at night, especially in summer when they get drunk, and too many bodegas and money wiring stores. I dont even feel safe walking through town at night and get a ride back from the LIRR instead. There's no one around, its desolate, and thats the problem. I dont think people are coming because of these issues. The first show at the theater had alot of ppl but the others have been quieter. In order for this to succeed the Village of Westbury has to agressively fight these Quality of Live issues and then the people will come. So far I have to say I've just been very dissapointed. From the photos I've seen it's a beautiful venue, but with hardly any shows and the big "Westbury" sign in front dark most of the time, it's discouraging.
Shows finally excheduled here, per the offical website. Most of the events so far appear to be rock music concerts, including the October 4th opener, headlined by Fountains of Wayne and Soul Asylum. Other dates in October include performances by Alice Cooper, and Dr. John. Those names are actually not all that shabby, for a venue of this size, and probably on par with what you might see at Westbury Music Fair, and other comparable Long Island venues.
As for ticket prices, looks like the typical show here will run in the $30-35 range, with bigger names like Alice Cooper and Dr. John commanding up to $75 for premium seating.
All of these shows go on sale today at noon.
I wonder if they'll leave that musty basement smell… you know, for old times' sake.
Long awaited opening of The Space at Westbury is being touted for August. Still nothing on the official web page.
Video story and regular article from February about the pending opening. Still hasn't happened. Appears the new name will be The Space at Westbury. There is a website and a facebook page. There are a couple of interior photos on the home page to the website, plus a gallery of images showing interior renovations in process. The events page, however, still seems to be a clean slate…
Drove past on my way home from the office this on Friday, April 19th, and snapped 5 quick shots with my cell camera. The place looks ready for business. There was an older, well-dressed gentleman and a much younger woman who accompanied him, walking the perimeter of the theater as I approached the block. I saw them turn the corner from Post Ave onto the northern side street, where the man checked that the two doors located just off Post were locked. Not sure what that was about.
Also struck me that there are no display cases along the main facade – though, I suppose, those could be easily anchored onto the wall at a later date, easily enough. However, there are two rectangular recesses in the wall at new side entrance on the southern facade, that appear to be intended for poster displays. Through those doors, one can also make out a mural depicting what seems to be a man on stage playing to a house of empty seats! Hopefully, not a prophetic image!
As MissVicki noted, the marquee lights are in – and I'm happy that they appear to be the old fashioned screw-in bulbs, rather than some modern LED type of affair. I'm sure the display panels will include some sort of modern animated signage, but at least the framing and undercarriage are to be lit incandescently!
Hopefully, the next time I snap some pics, there'll be an attraction listed up on those boards!
Rolled past yesterday and the crew was working on some additional outside lighting. The marquee is up and lights are in. I asked when the opening was projected and he man said about one month.
Latest pair of pics posted. Marquee still under wraps, but looking pretty damn close to completion. Still nothing on an anticipated opening date or booking?
I like how the comments here go back to 2004, because Post Ave. was such a different place then, a lot has changed in the last 8 years. As long time residents of Westbury my wife and I remember the theater when it was open and all the nuttiness that went along with it. Like many on here I was sure that once it sold it would become yet another "senior living community" but was pleasantly surprised that the new owners fully intended on keep good on their promise to bring back the theater. Post Ave. is no longer the run-down strip of fly by night store fronts and ratty apartments. The village and community has done a lot over the years to fix that, once the theater is up and running, post will be a pretty sight again form the trestle to the parkway. I think the community has grown, for the better, and I look forward to seeing it continue to improve.
Posted another trio of pics, taken Saturday, December 8th, 2012. Pretty much down to the finishing details on the facade, now. No way of knowing how the interior is coming along.
More pics posted showing progress as of October 27th, 2012. I chatted with a contractor, who was on site overseeing the installation of the paving stones that comprise the side walk perimeter of the theater. While that brick work was to be completed by the end of the day, he estimated that the theater itself would not be ready for opening until sometime after the holidays. So, at best, we're looking at winter of 2013.
He said that initial capacity for the theater will be around 650. However, he indicated that if the area can sustain the flow of traffic in and out for a performance, that number may be jacked up to around 1000. The plan is to have valet parking for theater events, unless folks care to take their chances on the streets or in one of the nearby municipal lots. He didn't see parking being much of a problem at all. Nice guy, and a local who remembered attending the theatre as a younger man.

Citizen Health & Safety / Food & Drug Safety
Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement Resources
The safety standards on which we rely daily for our food, medicines and cars. The energy and climate policies needed to save our planet. The new financial regulations designed to prevent banks from gambling with our money and creating another crisis. These are policies that should be determined in open, democratic venues where we have a say. But a group of the largest U.S. and European banks and corporations want to rewrite these safeguards behind closed doors. For over a decade, they have pushed for a new U.S. "trade" deal with Europe – the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA), which corporate proponents have branded the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) – a deal that would roll back consumer protections on both sides of the Atlantic.

As we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner in a couple of days, we might be worried about who gets the drumstick or whether our crazy uncle will dominate the conversation. But we're probably not worrying about whether the turkey is safe to eat because we've had a robust food inspection system in place for over a hundred years. That might be changing – parts of our food inspection system may not be keeping up with the threats posed by our current food production system.

Dantooine Tension
It is the Jedi Civil war and your PC has just arrived on Dantooine. You meet a man in the courtyard of the Jedi Enclave who is part of the group called the Pacis Oddo. This group is a militia like force that keeps peace when the Jedi cannot. This mod will involve doing quests for them and things that I can't tell you because that would be telling.
This mod features 1. A major sidequest added to Dantooine which will take you through the strife of a an entirely new faction 2. Several Reskinned areas to explore, repopulated and remade to fit the area they are supposed to serve as 3. New characters with new dialogue, which will be fully voiced 4. Custom items as well as the purple little numbers that fly up when you hack down enemies Mods lent to me by the kind modders here at Holowan RedRob41's Republic Combat suits for the Milita's Armor. Inyri Forge's PMHC05 Head Replacement for Jerico Oriden. Shem's skin of N_Mandalorain04 from Mandalorian Ultimate Mod Dak Drexl's helmetless Mandalorian armor model Silveredge9's Endar Spire Models that have gotten rid of the spinning animation Character Screens (Although outdated, I'll keep them just to show what progress I've made) Show spoiler

Well? What are your thoughts? COMPLETION PERCENTAGE Side Quests: 33.3% Dialogue: 25% Voice acting and lip synch: 10.12% New areas: 49.9999999999999999999999% |
Sounds really cool.
One suggestion, All the uniforms are the same even though they have different jobs and ranks. Could you add something to identify their rank or job. Like in Episode IV they have the differnet coloured squares on their chests. Just a thought Other than that sounds really good. |
Well you could ask DarthCalo to incorparate the ruined Pacis Oddo and survivors in to his mod. Just a thought.
Thoughts? I want to do VOs. XD Badly.
Seriously, though. The skins look great! I look forward to more progress. |
Thanks Zhaboka. I will need VOs, but that will be towards the end of the project. I'll keep you in mind.
All right guys I have a question for you. I am thinking about changing the music in the Pacis Oddo module. Should I A) Change it to the Jedi Enclave Music B) Change it to the Ahto City Music C) Don't change it all. Thanks for your feeback guys and sorry for the lack of updates. I'm really working with the Global Journal file and the GIT file of the module, and I doubt you want screenshots of those. |
Jedi Enclave, methinks.
Jedi Enclave, me thinks also.
All right then guys it'll be Jedi Enclave music. Thanks for the feedback.
Which particular "Jedi Enclave" music do you guys mean? If its the one from KotOR 2, you can't use it in KotOR 1, as that's porting and illegal, which is both off-limits here, and would stop you from getting the mod up at KotOR Files.
No I mean the Kotor 1 version.
And as an update I have mostly finished the first sidequest. (Now if I could only get get the Journal entries to work) |
have a script to fire the jrl entry,..dont have it placed in bt the dlg editor since sometimes it does not fire or give a black area where it should be in the PC jrl quest section in game
Thanks Logan.
Well everybody I am pretty much finished with the Journal Entries and I will soon test them in game.
A new character joins the midst and I am fine tuning some parts of the mod.
Show spoiler
^^^ very interesting face! it seems you have combined some faces almost... it looks quite unique, I wonder if anything can be done to better blend some of the color on his face? Right now, unless it is in-game shadows I am seeing, he looks to have stripes of brown on his face.
Besides that.... I really like the work! |
Thanks. That is just the shadowing. I took PMHA04 and gave him a beard.
As an update I am now polishing and finishing up the first quest. I finally sorted out some scripting issues so it shouldn't be much longer for the first quest to be done.
Looks awesome, can't wait to see more!
At this point, since you are laying it out nicely for us with updates and screens... perhaps you could add to your first post a little chart of what is being done in the mod, and to what percentage that portion of the mod is done? You will see this chart in other modder's WIPs; I find it a nice handy snapshot to look at, and easy for you to update down the road. This should be a nice little mod. It has good focus - that is critical! |
All right I have not posted an update or even looked at the WIP in a while so here I'm finally letting the stream of updates flow! But first Thanks Doctor-Hal! And Glenn your wish has been granted.
First off I have given Avix a beard too make him look older Show spoiler
Now screens from the first quest! Show spoiler
Now if you noticed that the two Mercs surrounding the lead one have PC heads you may be wondering why I did that. Well I basically set the backup head for the PC's the one next so PMHC02 would have PMHC01 as a backup. Show spoiler
Show spoiler
Show spoiler
This is just one of the results of the quest. As sticking to Kotor there are obviously light and dark choices that change the story if ever so slightly. Now one of the character you'll meet in the second quest! I have it so a landspeeder with a sound will spawn behind him but I have had more scripting difficulties and progress has been slow. But we should continue our tour. Show spoiler
A little peek at some of his dialogue. Show spoiler
Show spoiler
Also for the second sidequest you'll be visiting a converted estate into a docking bay, yet I have no screenies for that just yet. If you think that idea is a little bit outrageous of having a docking bay on Dantooine please feel free to let me know. Well what are your thoughts? |
Will this all be voiced?
Yes, but I'm planning on doing the voice overs after most everything is finished.
Looks real good Guardian...keep up the good work...one thing, though, and I am guilty of this myself..you seem to have a lot of human males in your screenshots. Are there any females or aliens involved? Just wondering...again looks real good so far.
I am planning on having a few females but I really don't have that many female voice actors. Also there will definitely be aliens.
You could use a program like audacity to maklee them sound female
My problem is the opposiite. I use too many aliens because i can't be bothered to make VOs |
I could I guess but usually when a program changes or makes a voice it does not sound as good as a real voice actor. Also I will most likely need someone with modeling talents to make a small hangar with a ship in it if anyone is interested. If not I can always reskin something in game.
Is Pacis Oddo a Republic division? Just wondering because if they aren't then I think the Republic combat suits would be strange on them.
Other than that this looks to be progressing most awesomely. Keep up the great work! |
The Republic helped set it up along with the Jedi Council and thanks.
Small update. Started reskinning for one of the new modules. Also put in a Twi'lek receptionist in the module and finally made a chiss.
Show spoiler
So what do you guys think of the Chiss? |
Most accurate skintone I've ever seen for a Chiss. All the others make the blue too dark or deep.
Thanks Zhaboka.
He's great, I just think you need to blend in the eyebrows a little more. Good call including a chiss though, they tend to be fan-favorites.
All right will do. And thanks.
Small update on the Chiss.
Show spoiler
I believe I have made the hair tinged with blue accidentally so I will try and fix that. |
fix the beard! It looks bad. otherwise it looks nice
Oh yeah! Woops. Going to do that right now thanks for pointing that out Canderis.
EDIT: All right here it is I fixed the beard. Show spoiler
Collecting dust? Well, time to fix that.
Small update, just going to do a little show and tell of one of the new areas. Show spoiler
Show spoiler
Show spoiler
Show spoiler
Show spoiler
Show spoiler
Show spoiler
So what do you guys think? |
I've always tried to reskin that to look black, but it never worked! Nice job :D
Also, how did you make it so that the ship isn't spinning? |
Thanks, but I didn't actually figure that out, it's just because the picture is still. I wish I knew how to do that, although I know Silveredge9 figured out.

Make life more enjoyable with an Allis-Chalmers "Bee." It's a year round investment. From spring garden work . . . to fall clean-up . . . to winter snow removal, there's a "Bee" attachment for every need.
Click each picture for a closer view
** This attachment is used with the 42" rotary mower and the dump cart. Properly set and operated, the vacuum will remove over 90% of grass clippings and leaves. The tractor mower cuts and lifts materials. The vacuum removes these materials from the mower exhaust area through an 8" tube to a PTO driven impeller. The impeller or blower is 10" in diameter, has 1/4" steel blades and revolves at 1000 rpm. The air blast on the exhaust side of the impeller carries the materials through a 6" tube into the canvas covered dump cart. Capacity of the cart and canvas cover is 26 bushels of compressed material. It is emptied by removing the rear door and placing the cart in the dump position. A knapped lining allows air to pass through the canvas cover while retaining dust. The vacuum and mower are independently controlled by separate PTO clutches. (Optional 15-ft hose for cleaning out from under bushes, etc., will soon be made available.)
** All steel construction to carry a 1000-lb. payload or 7 cubic feet of material, struck capacity. The tailgate may be used closed, hinged open to control spreading while dumping, or completely removed. A spring release permits dumping to approximately 45° angle. Reversing the tractor while cart is in the dump position will allow the cart body to turn over 180° for complete dumping.
** Two sizes are offered. A three gang unit cuts 60" and a five gang cuts 98". Up to six acres per hour may be cut with the hardened alloy steel blades. Five blades per gang are driven by wide flex tread (0 pressure) tires. These tires are designed for use on the finest turf. Fully flexible hitches allow each gang to hug the contour of the ground independent of the others. On the five gang unit, the two outer gangs may be removed by a single pin to permit access to smaller clearance areas.
** This sickle bar has all the quality and features of farm and industrial mowers. It is quickly attached to the tractor. The cutter bar has serrated knives, protected by heavy-duty rock guards. A spring trip mechanism protects the mower from damage. Should it hit an obstruction, the cutter bar swings back from the line of motion. This disengages the power to the mower blade and it stops cutting. To reset, the tractor is simply backed up. The cable lifting mechanism allows the cutter bar to be raised by the Left Hand Implement Handle or the optional Right Hand Handle or hydraulic system. A counterbalance spring is employed to make mechanical raising effortless. The cutter bar is activated by the center PTO clutch.
** A hitch adapter is necessary to mount the plow to the tractor. The adapter allows free swing and free float while maintaining direct pull from the centerline of the tractor. A fully adjustable 10" coulter cuts clean furrow walls and plowing depth is set by the implement lift handle. Pitch and suck are adjusted by a turnbuckle above the plow beam. Replaceable plow share is attached to a wide angle frog, designed for moldboard maximum soil coverage.
** The 42" tool bar is identical to the spring tooth harrow. Four staggered 8" sweeps and two skid shoes are mounted on the tool bar and are quickly adjusted. The center tool bar mounted to the front axle is 30" wide and has two double-pointed 1-1/2" shovels which may be spaced from 7-1/2" to 28" apart. Front and rear sections may both be raised with the standard lift handle or may be raised independently by adding the optional right hand lift handle to the tractor.
** The spring tines provide a vibrating action to break up the soil. The tool bar is 42" wide and fully mounted on the tractor. Seven adjustable spring teeth are arranged in a staggered pattern plus two skid shoes to gauge depth from a minimum of 1-3/4" to 3" maximum. Transport clearance is 3".
** Economy Dozer. The dozer blade is front-mounted and gauged by the tractor wheels. The moldboard can be manually set in five positions by a pin in the A frame. Replaceable cutting edge and skid shoes for depth gauging are located on the bottom of the moldboard. Weight is 66 lbs. Dimensions: Blade width 42", moldboard height 15-1/2"
* This equipment is not built by Allis-Chalmers, but it has been tested and approved for use with Allis-Chalmers tractors.

text: ANKARA, Turkey, 27 September - Turkey and Poland will contest Sunday's of the Women's European Championships after beating Netherlands (3-0), and Germany (3-2) in the semifinals of this tournament that also rewards the top two teams with places to the World Cup in Japan, the first Olympic Qualifier. It was a fantastic result for the host country who have coasted through the championship and thrilled 6000 fans in the Ataturk Arena in the Turkish capital to defeat the Dutch team 25-17, 25-22, 25-22. Turkey had firm control of the match from the outset and fended off an array of spikes by top Dutch players Elles Leferink (14 points) and Francien Huurman (13 points). Netherlands got briefly into the match at the end of the second set, but was never able to close the gap. Neslihan Demir (16 points) and the Russian born Natalia Hanikoglu (14 points) were the best players on the Turkish side. The home team was also helped 27 unforced errors on the Dutch side, while they themselves only gave away 12 points. Turkey now meets Poland who dismissed Germany in the first semifinal after an exciting five set tiebreaker. Both teams were surprise semifinalists, having not made a podium place at this championship in the past decade. Poland started the match strongly, but Germany took over the momentum in the middle of the second set. Germany was leading 2-1 and when they took an 18-13 lead in the fourth set, it looked like the match was over. But Poland made a tremendous comeback to level the scores and force the tiebreaker, which they then won 15-9. "We came here to win a medal and now we are sure of winning the silver," the Polish head coach Andrej Niemczyk said. "Another goal was for us to qualify for the World Cup. Now we are in the final, we also achieved this. So now that the goals are reached, we can play the final without any pressure." Niemczyk said Germany had got back into the game when Polish spiker Malgorzata Glinka had made too many errors at the end of the third set. But Glinka didn't let her team down in all the decisive moments and with 40 points, she was by far the best scorer. Germany's captain Angelina Grün added 16 points to top score for Germany. Russia and Italy, the finalists of two years ago, clash on Sunday in the classification match for the fifth position. In Saturday's action, unseated European Champion Russia just defeated Bulgaria 3-2 and World Champion Italy won the battle with Romania 3-1. The first six ranked teams are qualified for the European Olympic Qualification tournament, which will be held in Baku (AZE) from 5 till 10 January 2004. Turkey, Germany, Poland and Netherlands are, as semifinalists, also automatically qualified for the 2005 Women's European Championships, which will take place in Croatia. Results: Ankara - Semifinals. GER - POL 2-3 (23-25, 25-20, 25-22, 22-25, 9-15) TUR - NED 3-0 (25-17, 25-22, 25-22) Classification matches 5-8: RUS - BUL 3-2 (25-21, 28-30, 25-15, 26-28, 15-11) ROM - ITA 1-3 (25-21, 15-25, 26-28, 21-25) Match schedule Sunday 28 September 2003: Ankara - Final and classification matches. 1130: BUL - ROM (Classification 7-8) 1400: RUS - ITA (Classification 5-6) 1630: GER - NED (Classification 3-4) 1900: POL - TUR (FINAL)

The Astros are celebrating their 50th anniversary this season, so they plan to honor their past by wearing a different throwback uniform at every Friday home game. The first "Flashback Friday" will feature the Colt .45s, which was the name of the franchise for the first three years of its existence.
Sweet. Those were some pretty awesome uniforms. The only problem is, MLB nixed including the gun in the logo.
According to Paul Lukas of the Uni Watch blog, Astros fan James Crabtree wrote a letter to commissioner Bud Selig about the issue and this is the response he got from Mike Acosta, the Astros' authentication manager:
"During our discussion with Major League Baseball, it was expressed to us that we could wear the uniform as long as the pistol was removed. We realize this changes the original design, but we still want to honor the Colt .45s. We are also under an obligation to follow Major League Baseball's requests."
Oof. The weird thing about this is that when the Astros originally announced plans for "Flashback Friday" last September, they had the old Colt .45s uni featured front and center. Apparently something changed over the past few months.
There was some discussion about whether the Colt .45s was appropriate back when new Astros owner Jim Crane mentioned that they had considered changing the team's name. The world is a very different place now than it was when the franchise debuted in 1962, so obviously the same name and logo wouldn't work today, but completely altering the design for one game is a bit overboard.

"… but completely altering the design for one game is a bit overboard."
It only appears overboard if you fail to realize how pervasive the anti-gun propaganda in this country has become. They have been targeting the 2nd amendment for a long time, since an armed citizenry is the last and best defense against an authoritarian fascist government. And since nobody raised a stink when they took away our fourth amendment rights a few months ago, people will probably think losing our 2nd amendment rights is no big deal either. And it just wouldn't be effective propaganda if thousands of grown men become reminded of their heritage, consciously or otherwise.
Criminals and criminal governments love unarmed victims.

The second amendment was really just a way to arm civilians to fight the Revolutionary War. People always seem to forget that. I would hope that you're not lamenting our potential inability to declare war on our own government.
- ditto65 - Feb 18, 2012 at 9:47 AM
Ummm, the Bill of Rights (the document containing the first ten amendments) was ratified in 1791, ten years after fighting stopped and eight years after the Treaty of Paris was signed, offically ending the war.
So you might want to brush up on your history if you are going to use it to try and limit my gun rights.
- Kevin S. - Feb 18, 2012 at 9:55 AM
But it was specifically for the purpose of maintaining a well-organized militia. It was never intended to allow people to run down the street with an AK-47 slung over their shoulder.
- philsieg - Feb 18, 2012 at 9:56 AM
Close. The Second Amendment was designed to allow for the formation of citizen militias to protect communities (while we were merrily stealing the land from those who had it first) and avoid the maintenance of a standing army. The Founders would not recognize what the NRA and its acolytes have perverted it into today.
That said, the Colt .45s unis represent history and history should never be rewritten (unless you're the Texas school board, the Tennessee legislature or one of the various collections of Tea Party twits…oh, and Fox News, of course).
- ditto65 - Feb 18, 2012 at 9:57 AM

"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government." – Thomas Paine (1737-1809), American Revolutionary, US Founding Father and Author
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." – Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President of the United States
So what were the Founding Fathers thinking again?
- ditto65 - Feb 18, 2012 at 10:07 AM
You're right. Gun control is good:
"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!" – Adolph Hitler, 1935, on The Weapons Act of Nazi Germany

Even Ghandi knew better:
"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." -Mahatma Gandhi, in Gandhi, An Autobiography, p. 446

Oh, and for the record, that's fascist dictator for gun control, ardent pacifist against.
- lostsok - Feb 18, 2012 at 10:35 AM
There was disagreement in 1876 about the degree to which guns were a "right," and to what purpose, just as now. Read the original State of Virginia constitution, whose verbiage was used to craft the 2nd Amendment a few years later. There are numerous books and sites that detail the discussion (and arguments) of the day.
Be that as a it may, as a Liberal I would say this: if we risk one right, we risk them all. We have established over many decades a tradition of gun ownership for law abiding citizens. The holds weight as indication that the population at large has long held the meaning of the Bill of Rights was that of an individual, not their respective state. Most states have affirmed this.
As to the uni design, guns are a constant in movies and games. Having the design on a uniform–especially for one day–seems unlikely to lead to a killing spree.
- deathmonkey41 - Feb 18, 2012 at 10:41 AM
How many of those guys running down the streets with AK-47's over their shoulder went out and purchased them legally?
- paperlions - Feb 18, 2012 at 10:57 AM
Ignoring the reason for the "right" and accepting it. All gun control laws have done is affect law abiding citizens. If someone with criminal intent wants to obtain a gun and commit misdeeds, the gun laws have had no effect whatsoever. Creating an ignorant public (in this case, one unfamiliar with firearms) has never created a desired effect or resulted in a societal benefit.

In 1789, when the Bill of Rights/Constitution was ratified, the "Militia" was "the people" – common citizens. There was no such thing as National Guard, etc. So don't try to interpret the term Militia of 1789 was what our formal military forces are today.
- b7p19 - Feb 18, 2012 at 11:46 AM
At the risk of jumping into the middle of this "i've read more things that other people said than you" argument, I would like to say this is about a baseball uniform. It's about a BASEBALL UNIFORM. Bud Selig is not trying to take away your (or my) guns.
Of course MLB is going to play it safe.

The anti-gun agenda has nothing to do with keeping guns out of the hand of criminals. It's ultimate goal is to keep guns out of the hands of free people who will defend themselves against an oppressive government. Never forget that. That is why Liberals hate Texas, Texans and anything that smacks of the rugged individual traditions of America.
- Kevin S. - Feb 18, 2012 at 9:56 AM

- paperlions - Feb 18, 2012 at 11:01 AM
I lived in TX for 10 years, if I had to describe Texans as a group (recognizing that many individuals do not fit the descriptions) it would be arrogant, willfully ignorant, xenophobic, superficial, materialists. Sorry, didn't see any rugged individualists.
- stex52 - Feb 18, 2012 at 8:18 PM
Ouch, Paper. That is a pretty broad generalization for 25 million + people. Where were you in Texas? Sounds like it must have been the Dallas area.
Then you are probably accurate.
- paperlions - Feb 18, 2012 at 10:43 PM
I was in Lubbock, at Texas Tech; educating some of the….ahem…fine TX youth. Lubbock wishes it was Dallas….so your guess is pretty accurate. I've lived in many states and a few countries, never been around a group of people that suffered so badly by comparison to everywhere/everyone else (and if you really want to know about people, all you have to do is listen to their children talk). I knew/know some great people that are Texans, but they were the minority.
- lostsok - Feb 18, 2012 at 10:43 AM
"The anti-gun agenda" is well-meaning but misunderstood. Many liberals are urban, where gang issues are very real and very serious, and many simply don't grown up with guns around (and are therefore timid in regards to their place in society).
Framing it as a big conspiracy just makes you look silly, though. That a.m. hate-radio nonsense is just getting laughable.
As to liberals "hating Texas," it's kind of ignoring the 40% of Texans who vote Democrat and the fact that Travis County is among the most liberal in the US. I know you extremists hate complicated words, but look up "myopia."
- deadeyedesign23 - Feb 18, 2012 at 7:20 PM
I'm liberal. I'm from Georgia and I live in New York. I don't hate Texas. I can tell you that among the reasons liberals hate Texas, a fear of you guys rising up to defeat our government is not one of them. I would say the homophobia, tradition of racism, and embracing of anti intelligence (see: evolution) are near the top of the list.
Oh and you gave us W. No offense, but I'm still trying to get that taste out of my mouth.
- Old Gator - Feb 18, 2012 at 7:48 PM
If you're anything like me, that'll take a tongue transplant.
But don't feel alone: the entire country is trying to get the taste of his catastrophic eight years out of its mouth. It should maybe just try swallowing and then defecating.
- deadeyedesign23 - Feb 19, 2012 at 2:24 PM
Haha I'm willing to cut Texas some slack. It's such a big state with so many people the law of averages pretty much says there has to be one half dumb sociopath with deep pockets like W walking around.

Along with getting our country so deeply in debt to them, turning our children into a bunch of sheltered p#ssies is going to be the reason why we will be raising the red & yellow flag of China over our state buildings one day. If the uniforms are so freakin' offensive, then don't even use them.

- deathmonkey41 - Feb 18, 2012 at 12:44 PM
The interweb teaches me new things every day!
Beers are either "top fermented" or "bottom fermented." Porters, ales, and stouts are top fermented and malt liquor is bottom fermented, which means the wort (the resulting brew of malt, prepared cereals like corn or rice, hops and water) is fermented by yeast of the bottom fermentation type (i.e. yeast which settles to the bottom of the fermenting tanks). Top fermenting yeast does the opposite. Malt liquor is made from a wort containing a high percentage of fermentable sugars which makes it slightly sweeter and a bit spicy in flavor and also raises the alcohol content.
- deathmonkey41 - Feb 18, 2012 at 12:46 PM
BTW, I'm not sure if it even needs to be said, but if they do decide to go with the malt liqour imagery instead of the gun, Billy Dee Williams needs to throw out the first pitch.

Considering that the Lords of Baseball are overwhelmingly Republican and the rank and file of the sport overwhelmingly conservative, it's a little nutsy to argue that they're part of some kind of anti-2nd Amendment conspiracy.
I'm the owner of a Zodiac .38 I hope never to have to use against anything but the targets down at the Tamiami Trail practice range, but I'm also realistic about some of the pinwheels, burglars and sickos running loose out there – who, unfortunately, have no restrictions placed upon them in the marketplace for arming themselves either. These people couldn't give a flying crap about political issues or delusional concepts of "freedom" or "liberty." I'm in favor of responsible gun ownership, which means keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable, period. Free and open gun ownership with no controls won't do that. But I also think that our real security resides in an electorate making well informed decisions at the polls, decisions that are based on research and thought. It will not reside in being armed to the teeth. You elect corrupt, authoritarian, fanatically religious or paranoid representatives, you're going to have oppression no matter how many guns you have stockpiled in your basement. As someone pointed out above, habeus corpus was suspended by the whores and cowards in Washington without a whimper, guns all over the place or not.
All that being said, I think it's idiotic to delete the historic pistols from the uniforms. This is a commemorative celebration and that's how they looked. We go barging into Iraq in a war of lies and corruption, slaughter a quarter of a million or more innocent people, and then worry that twenty five guys with cartoons of an antique pistol on their uniforms are going to "send the wrong message"?
What's the big deal?

Nothing wrong with the wording of the amendment. What needed adjustment was how a supposedly educated Supreme Court justice could look at the words "well regulated militia" and see a free-for-all in which any lunatic or ex-con could walk into a gun shop and pack without being checked out.
- Old Gator - Feb 18, 2012 at 11:50 AM
The amendment is fine as it is. What might need some adjustment is a Supreme Court justice who could read the words "well regulated militia" and see "free for all where any lunatic or ex-con can walk into a gun shop and pack without any background check." I think that's what they call "strict constructionism," right?
- Old Gator - Feb 18, 2012 at 4:50 PM
Randy, I don't have a problem with the second amendment. But as a (technically) sane and responsible gun owner who has taken the time and trouble to learn how to use and store his weapon properly, I do have a problem with them thar so-called strict constructionist Supreme Court justices who can look at "well regulated militia" and read "unregulated free-for-all" wherein any lunatic or ex-con can walk into a gun show and pack without any sort of background checks whatsoever.
- skids003 - Feb 20, 2012 at 5:01 PM
There are already hundres of gun laws out there, regulating how you can purchase a gun. Lunatics and excons cannot walk into a gun show and get one without a background check, don't believe all the drivel you read on NBC websites.

Could trademark issues be in play here? MLB will sell these jerseys and text Colt 45 with a picture of a gun would infringe on any copyright or trademark of the Colt company. MLB might believe that the jersey without the gun doesn't or would at least avoid a lawsuit from Colt.

[Houston owner] Judge Roy Hofheinz was fighting a lawsuit with the Colt Firearms Company over the ballclub's use of the "Colt .45″ name. With the team preparing to move into a futuristic new stadium, the judge wanted a new name for his squad – something original for which he could be the plaintiff the next time there was a suit. He consulted with some of the astronauts at NASA about honoring them with his new "nickname". They liked it.

Corporations make PC decisions like this all the time – instead of bemoaning that or using it as a chance to bust out the soapbox, maybe point out how hideously terrible the name "Colt 45s" is for a baseball team, or how horrible my Mets will be this year, or how odd it is that there have been more Orioles articles this week than we'll probably read all season.

- Old Gator - Feb 18, 2012 at 11:26 AM
I think the "Devil" was dropped because it was cumbersome, is all. If I remember correctly, the original name was supposed to be the "Devilfish" but some other sports franchise owned a trademark on that for some minor league team or some such thing. And of course, one suspects they wouldn't have dropped the "Devil" for PC reasons and called themselves just plain "Fish." Too generic.
Northern Snakeheads, maybe….
- jimbo1949 - Feb 18, 2012 at 3:26 PM
Orangemen was changed to Orange for gender neutrality so all teams could use the nickname. However, the prior nickname was the Saltine Warriors. Changed in the 70s, around the same time as the Stanford Indian became Cardinals then Cardinal. Both teams named for their primary uniform color.
- cur68 - Feb 18, 2012 at 12:08 PM
What a fascinating set of comments. So much so that I gave up the half hour break between presentations to read them all. At the end of I am really left with one question: the "historical" argument for the continued presence of the names "Indians" & "Braves" is fine but fails for a picture of a revolver, right? I couldn't give a crap, one way or the other for both issues, but I am struck by the disconnect. Well, so long as the Astros show up and play some baseball, what do I care what uniform they're all in?
- sawxalicious - Feb 18, 2012 at 12:46 PM
They should either use the original uniforms with the pistol or not use them at all, period. A "throwback" jersey that is not historically accurate is stupid and defeats the purpose of being a "throwback." It makes as much sense as adding things to the jersey that were not there in the first place.

They can have my Throwback Jersey when they Cut it off my cold, dead, body.

Never heard of the Throwbacks. What league were they in?

Sorry – I was referring to the one-time re-issue of the old-timey Colt 45s. How they would have to cut the shirt with the revolver off my cold dead bod – Oh, forget it.

Your allusion would have been more easily comprehended if you'd said "Soylent green is people!"

"Soylent Green is people!"

aren't the Astros going to get a name change anyways?And would they legally be allowed to use the name Oilers?

MLB is a business. It's not a government. Removing the gun from the uni was a PR move, not a socialist fascist oligarchical tyrannical move to disarm the citizens of this fair nation.
That said, damn, those unis aren't going to look nearly as good without that cool-ass gun.

Jesus fuckin' Christ…
I expected a plethora of unhinged, paranoid tirades based on the title of this article alone, but you amateur Slingblades out there exceeded even my wildest nightmares.
Now, some facts:
The NRA is the most effective, most well-funded lobbying organization in the country.
NO politician, aside from those that represent very safe, upscale, urban liberal districts, even bother bringing up gun control as an issue anymore because the NRA has such a chokehold on the agenda.
NO ONE is coming for your guns, people.
Obama clearly doesn't give a shit how many of you reactionary goobers use photos of him and his wife and kids for target practice with your AK-47s…the only thing he's done on the issue of guns is sign a bill allowing them to be brought into national parks.
Of course, facts like these won't stop the hysteria. The NRA depends on the paranoia of gun fetishists so that that sweet donation money keeps rolling in.

The Glass Prison The Killing Hand Learning to Live Scarred Endless Sacrifice Home I know nothing from the new album but I think that would be ok on a supporting tour. An hour and change I think. Glass Prison is an amazing set opener. Killing Hand is a rarely played favorite of mine and a killer song. Also not as long as alot of other DT songs. Learning to Live is my favorite DT song, Scarred is the best song off a really solid album and Endless Sacrifice gives them some newer material to play (though its not that new) and Home is a great closer. Maiden: New album isn't out yet so forgive me if I don't include the subpar El Dorado The Number of the Beast w full intro 22 Acacia Ave Paschendale The Trooper Ghost of the Navigator Killers Dance of Death To Tame a Land Brighter than A Thousand Suns Phantom of the Opera The Clairvoyant Flight of the Icarus Encore: Aces High Fear of the Dark Hallowed be Thy Name Dunno how long for that set An hour and 45 minutes maybe? So about 3 hours between both bands. Beast is a great opener with its dramatic intro. Aces High I almost didn't include cause its such a great opener but I figured it works just as well as an encore opener. Hallowed and Icarus are great set closers. Songs from the newer albums but enough old stuff that no one is going to fall asleep and a couple of rarely played gems to boot.

As a NOAA Teacher in the Air, Stanitski flew aboard the NOAA P-3 hurricane hunter (nicknamed "Miss Piggy") during the 2005 East Coast Hurricane Awareness Tour. The book covers the hurricane research that is conducted aboard the aircraft, including the deployment of dropsondes, instruments that measure weather conditions within a hurricane. One of the purposes of the book is to help teachers and their students become more aware of actions they can take to prepare for hurricanes and protect themselves and their families. It is written at the middle school science level and was reviewed and edited by middle school science teachers and scientists. Its content includes science and math activities, a glossary of terms and full-color images.

I was under the impression that building GCC for the Linux/SGI target was non-trivial. Ralf made mention of some patches, and since there are binaries available for Solaris... If GCC can support it with a --target choice, that'll be great.
