RIVERSIDE – Officer Michael Crain loved being a policeman and was proud to serve his country, but nothing in his life was more important than his family.
That was the message Wednesday as law enforcement officials from San Francisco to Indio joined family and friends in mourning the death of the 34-year-old Riverside Police Department officer who authorities believe was killed in an ambush by former Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner.
About 1,000 people, including Gov. Jerry Brown and state Attorney General Kamala Harris, gathered at the Grove Community Church in Riverside to honor the fallen officer.
An honor guard of hundreds of police cars, SUVs and motorcycles formed a procession from the mortuary to the church, crossing beneath a flag hoisted by two fire trucks, then on to the burial at Riverside National Cemetery. Along the route, local families waved flags and held signs of support for the Crain family and law enforcement. As an honor guard escorted the flag-draped casket into the church, row after row of men and women representing police and sheriff's departments as well as state and federal agencies stood straight in dress uniforms of dark blue, green and brown.
"I knew a lot of people loved Mike," his wife Regina told the crowd. "But I really did not realize the sheer scope of this and how many people were touched by his life. It gives me great comfort to see that."
Officers in attendance described the brotherhood of law enforcement and their desire to pay respect. Lt. Forest Meadows of the Indio Police Department said Crain's death felt senseless, even in a profession where any hour on duty can bring danger. He said he hoped the large number of officers in attendance would show Crain's family that they will not be alone.
"The law enforcement community is always going to be there for them," he said.
Sgt. Rudy Lopez of the Los Angeles Police Department said more than 100 people from his department attended to show solidarity.
"At any time, it could be one of us," he said.
A selfless life
Crain grew up in the Riverside area and attended Redlands High School.
"We grew up together," longtime friend Rob Frazer said. "We planned on retiring together."
Frazer and friend Joe Negroni described Crain's early selflessness.
During high school, Crain was a creature of habit at lunchtime, ordering a hamburger, cherry Pepsi and chocolate doughnuts every day. Negroni's girlfriend began joining the boys at lunch, though she never had money or food of her own. Crain had made it clear he didn't like her, but he began offering Negroni an extra $1.50 each day to pay for her food. Around the same time, the chocolate doughnuts disappeared from Crain's plate, and he claimed he was trying to eat healthier to improve his football game. Finally, Negroni and the girl broke up. Crain began ordering chocolate doughnuts again.
"Only then did I realize for about a year and a half, he sacrificed his precious chocolate doughnuts so someone he couldn't stand could have something to eat," Negroni said. "I'd never seen someone do something so selfless and thankless."
After a year of attending college classes, Crain found a calling to serve others in the Marines.
"He was made to do that job," Frazer said.
There, he learned tactical and leadership skills that translated to his service in the Riverside Police Department.
His brother Jason described the officer's courage, honor and willingness to sacrifice throughout his life.

Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Bob Balfe
Kansas State +8
This is going to be a great game. I like Kansas State because I think they will come into this game more focused with a coach who has been in this for many decades going against a coach that could be in the NFL in 24 hours. Kansas State has the best turnover margin in all of College Football. They also have the best punt and kick return numbers and they control the clock which is huge when limiting Oregon's possessions. This is a very good run defense and Oregon will be without one of their top lineman tonight due to academics. I like Klein at QB for Kansas State and think this team will win outright. Take the Wildcats.

Wright State - over UW-Green Bay
Wright State has not played an overly challenging schedule but the Raiders are 5-0 S/U at home and the home team has won eight of the last 10 meetings between these teams. UW-Green Bay is likely better than the 6-7 overall record indicates but the Phoenix are yet to win a game away from home, going 0-6 in road and neutral site affairs. After losing both meetings in this series last season in tight games this is a big game for the host and Wright State is 7-3 ATS on the season, facing a very short number with a very tough home court edge. Defensively Wright State is holding foes to just 55 points per game at home this season while holding foes to less than 40 percent shooting overall.

Harry Bondi
SAN ANTONIO (+1.5) over NY Knicks
After a hot start to the season, the Knicks are in a bit of a funk, losing three out of their last four. The problem is on the defensive end, where the team has allowed 100 points or more in seven of its last 10 games. That's bad news against a Spurs team that certainly doesn't mind pushing the pace. The Knicks got Amare Stoudemire back this week, but suffered a big loss when Raymond Felton went out of the lineup. Any time we can get the Spurs at this short of a price we're definitely looking to bet them, especially since they have dominated in non-conference games, going 40-18 ATS the last three seasons. Just like last night when we cashed a ticket with Golden State over the Clippers, this is a wrong-way favorite. Spurs win.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Bryan Power
Gonzaga vs. Pepperdine
Pick: Pepperdine
The start of conference play typically signals an uptick in motivation for most teams, but in the case of Gonzaga and the West Coast Conference, I don't see it Thursday. Though the 'Zags saw their record stretch of 11 straight WCC Titles snapped last year, the team comes into tonight off back to back challenging non-conference games. Laying this many points, with a bullseye on their back, is not a spot I like Gonzaga.
Furthermore, Gonzaga has failed to cover the last six times they have been a road favorite. Prior to going into Stillwater and upsetting Oklahoma State on New Years Eve, 69-68 as a 2.5-point underdog, the Bulldogs had played just one "true" road game this season. It was at Washington State and they failed to cover an 11.5-point spot. So for those "keeping score at home," Gonzaga is 2-0 SU on the road this season with those wins coming by a combined three points. They also recently failed to cover for me, laying 8.5 points at home to Baylor, winning only 94-87. Admittedly, I'm not happy about that result. But, still being objective, I feel this is too many points for Gonzaga to be laying on the conference road this early in the season.
Granted, Pepperdine has not done well against Gonzaga in past seasons. The Waves have beaten the Zags just four times since 1997, the last win coming in 2002 here in Malibu! That's a 22-game win streak with the average margin coming by nearly 20 points per game! But Pepperdine is playing good defense so far this year, giving up just 63.5 points per game on 39% shooting. Obviously, the schedule hasn't been as tough as Gonzaga's, but this is a lot of points for what will be the Waves' biggest home game all season.

Idaho vs. San Jose St.
Pick: San Jose St.
The (7-5) Spartans are back on home court after two good road wins are looking to atone for two losses in a row at the San Jose event center. I expect the team to be hungry here against a conference opponent that is just under them in the standings in (5-6) Idaho.
San Jose State is 3-2 SU at home this year despite the two previous tough losses to James Madison and Santa Clara.
At home the Spartans are scoring an average of 70.1 points per game while allowing the opponent 66.0 for a differential of +4.1. The team is led by leading scorer James Kinney at 21 points per game. Kinney is coming off his seventh 20 plus performance last time out
The Spartans have ramped it up in conference games this year, going 2-0 SU and ATS; I expect them to make it top priority to win this one too.
Note SJS is 4-1 ATS when playing teams with losing records. Overall the Spartans are a profitable 6-3 ATS this year.
The Idaho Vandals are just 2-4 SU on the road and have beaten just the likes of Seattle and Eastern Washington away from home.
Kyle Baron is leading the way for the Vandals at 16.4 points per game.
The Vandals are averaging 65.5 points per game on the road while allowing its opponent 70.3 a game for a differential of -4.8.
Idaho State won both of last year's meetings between the two teams; I expect this one to be payback. SJS still owns the all-time series 13-10.
Lay the modest points with San Jose State.

Kyle Hunter
California vs. UCLA
Play: Over 148½
The UCLA Bruins have changed their strategy a bit over the last couple weeks, and it seems to be working well for them. UCLA is pushing the tempo and using their athleticism to get out in transition. The Bruins have scored at least 89 points in four straight games. California also likes to push the tempo, so I don't see anyone slowing this game down. My projections had this game set at 154 points. The over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings between these teams. The over is 10-3 in UCLA's last 13 home games. Take the over.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Dave Price
The Bruins will be out for some serious revenge tonight as they look to end a 3-game losing streak to the Golden Bears. UCLA is the more talented team, and I expect it to get the job done on its home floor. UCLA is a staggering 16-6 ATS as a home favorite of 6.5 to 9 points under coach Howland and has won by an average of 10.5 points in these contests. Cal is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 lined games, and I expect its struggles to continue against the revenge-minded Bruins. Lay the points.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Jeff Alexander
Colorado +12.5
Plays against favorites of 10 to 19.5 points after 8 or more consecutive wins, provided they are undefeated on the season, are 68-30 ATS the last 5 seasons. Also, plays against favorites of 10 or more points after 10 or more consecutive wins, provided they are matched up against an opponent that checks in with 2 or more consecutive wins, are 60-25 ATS the last 5 seasons. The numbers support Colorado.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Jack Jones
San Antonio Spurs +1
The San Antonio Spurs are red hot right now and they should not be an underdog to the New York Knicks tonight. Somehow, this team continues to be undervalued year in and year out. That has been the case again for the 2012-13 season as the Spurs are 26-8 SU and an eye-opening 21-12 ATS.
San Antonio heads into this contest with the Knicks riding a 7-game winning streak. Four of those victories have come by 20 or more points. The Spurs did lose to the Knicks 104-100 at home earlier this season, but that will only have them hungry to avenge that defeat with a road victory of their own tonight.
New York comes in playing its worst basketball of the season. It has lost three of its last four all to mediocre teams with losses to the Blazers, Kings and Lakers. Its only win during this stretch came 99-97 at Phoenix thanks to a buzzer-beater from J.R. Smith. The Knicks really miss PG Raymond Felton (finger), who has missed the last three games and will be out four-to-six weeks.
The Spurs tend to play better on little rest. They are 11-2 ATS when playing their 4th game in 5 days over the last 3 seasons. San Antonio is 14-3 ATS off an road win scoring 110 or more points over the last 2 seasons. The Spurs are 38-13-4 ATS in their last 55 games following a S.U. win. San Antonio is 41-18-4 ATS in its last 63 vs. Eastern Conference foes. The Knicks are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western Conference opponents. Bet the Spurs Thursday.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Brandon Lee
Oregon -7.5
Hard to not like Oregon in this one. The Ducks are just as good if not better offensively and I believe they are more than capable of shutting down the Kansas State offense. Oregon simply has too much speed for Kansas State to keep up. The Ducks are 9-2 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons and have won these contest by an average score of 43-25.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Dave Essler
Fairfield +4
Canisius being on such a great ATS roll this season and having already beaten Fairfield at home this season was almost a yellow flag for me. You'd think it'd be more, but with in-season Conference revenge, we've got to go with the Stags in this one. Since that loss to Canisius, Fairfield has rattled off five straight wins, three of them on the road, and on AT St. Joseph's, so we know they're playing good basketball right now. The Stags just play better defense overall, and unless Canisius continues to stroke their three's, this is nothing but a last possession game. Although Canisius is a veteran squad, their travel schedule of late hasn't been kind. Within nine days, they won at Temple, flew to Las Vegas and got crushed, came home for the obligatory cream-puff (Alcorn State) and flew up to lose a close game at Detroit. They've simply got to be a bit weary, whereas the Stags haven't traveled far and have had reasonable separation between games. Canisius was simply an awful team last year, and it's obvious that Jim Baron has taken Parrotta's players to a new level, but they are still Parrotta's players and if Baron can take them from the 300+ worst team in the nation to the near the Top 100, more power to him, but in THIS game it's all about revenge and value, which lies with the road team. We hit our free play with ease last night as UTEP +10.5 pushed Colorado State to the wire, and we'll see if we can't do it again tonight.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Ian Cameron
Marist at Niagara
Play: Niagara
The home team has dominated this series between MAAC conference rivals. Niagara has won the last three home games against Marist by 17 points or more dating back to 2010. The Purple Eagles come in to this game well rested having not played since their road loss at Notre Dame on December 21st. It will mark only the sixth home game this season for Niagara who are 4-1 SU on this floor which includes a win over New Mexico State. Niagara notched a very impressive early season MAAC conference road win against defending MAAC champion Loyola Maryland proving this team is capable when all their pieces are working collectively as a team. The Purple Eagles played one of their toughest non-conference slates they've had had in years taking on quality teams like Notre Dame, New Mexico State, and Oregon State and that should have them prepared for MAAC play starting tonight. Niagara junior guard Marvin Jordan accentuates the focus of his team on this conference home game: "It's go time. It's time to refocus and get down to business."
Niagara will have their full lineup intact with the expected return of the aforementioned Jordan joining a solid starting five which includes the likes of Antoine Mason and Juan'ya Green. While Niagara is healthy for this game, Marist will be without starting junior guard Jay Bowie for a second straight game due to a concussion which takes away his 7.5 ppg and 4.7 rpg contributions for tonight. Niagara should have a major edge on the glass as Marist is the worst rebounding team in the MAAC. Marist has also been plagued by turnovers committing over 14 per game and the Red Foxes really struggle to get stops. Marist has given up 75 points per game on 43% shooting in their last five games.
After a decent start to the season, Marist has hit a speed bump losing three in a row against Bucknell, Hartford and Charleston with two of those losses coming by double digit margins. In my opinion, Marist is starting to look like the same old team that has been near or at the bottom of the MAAC for years. It's worth noting Marist lost to the same Hartford team that Niagara blew out by 15 points earlier this season. This is a great spot for Niagara facing a team they've crushed repeatedly on this court in recent years. Lay the points.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3
Rob Veno
Wisconsin-Green Bay at Wright State
Recommendation: Wright State
Not at all reluctant to lay the short price here with the double revenge minded home team. Wright State has been tenacious on the defensive end this season. Through 13 games they are allowing just 39.8% from the field and according to Ken Pomeroy's numbers, own the Horizon League's best adjusted defense rating at 93.3 which ranks 67th in the country. The return of 6-10 junior A.J. Pacher to the WSU lineup (missed last three games) figures to be key here as his size will be counted on to help neutralize the Wisconsin-Green Bay twin interior forces of 7-1 center Alec Brown and 6-9 265 pound senior Brennan Cougill. The projected deliberate pace here doesn't figure to bother either side since these teams prefer slower tempo. Wright State head coach Billy Donlon made a lineup switch last game inserting junior Jerran Young into the starting unit and that could be a key difference maker tonight. Young has led the team in scoring and rebounding the last three games. Each team has played at Idaho this season with the Raiders winning 80-70 and WGB coming up short 72-62. Wright State's defense, home court (5-0 SU, 2-0 ATS), bench depth (can comfortably go nine deep), addition of Pacher and atonement for last season all add up to a Wright State cover.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3

My free pick run is now at 63-39-2 after Wyoming cashed in by a half point last night, and tonight I'm headed to Honolulu for my comp winner, as I like Cal Fullerton over Hawaii.
The Titans hit the island after a successful start to Big West Conference play in front of their hometown faithful. Fullerton (7-5, 1-0 in league play) now opens a three-game road swing this week, beginning with conference newcomer Hawaii tonight.
Fullerton's win streak reached a season-best four games with its victory over UC Santa Barbara last week, and during its run, the Titans are averaging 83.0 points per game while four players are averaging more than than 12 points per game. And it's not just offense that has propelled this team, as Fullerton is limiting opponents to a mere 70.8 ppg.
Meanwhile, Hawaii comes in with the exact same records - 7-5 overall and 1-0 in Big West play - but I don't believe with the same kind of offensive explosiveness the Titans have.
Cal State Fullerton's 83.8 ppg., coming into this the week trailed only No. 5 Indiana's 89.4 ppg., as the highest-scoring team in the nation. The Titans also rank among the top 10 in four other categories: free throw percentage (5th at .786), three-point field goals made per game (7th at 9.2 pg), and three-point percentage (9th at .409).
Fullerton has eclipsed the 90-point plateau four times in seven victories this season, and tonight its offense is going to exploit Hawaii's weak scoring defense that ranks 254th in the land, allowing 70.1 ppg.
The Titans come into this showdown on a 4-1 ATS road streak, while the Warriors have dropped five of six to the books at home and four of five overall. Take the road team here, as the Titans steal this win.

I love catching the Knicks at home when they are playing a good team. It seems as if they step up their intensity level when the better teams come to town, and it doesn't get much better than San Antonio.
I've said this before and I'll say it again... this Spurs team is just trying to get through the regular season as healthy as possible, hoping to get some home games along the way. That's it.
The Spurs are synonymous with playoffs, so it's almost a given that they'll be there in May. So what happens in the other months leading up to May? Well, the Spurs pretty much put it on cruise control and their talent, alone, is usually enough to get them there.
The Knicks are 12-3 on their home court but enter tonight's game having lost two straight... something strange to the Knicks this year. But like I said, they don't get up for teams like Portland... and that's what happens.
Today, San Antonio will bring out the best in them.
Carmelo Anthony returned to the lineup after being sidelined for two games with a knee ailment and scored 45 points on 14 of 24 shooting (and added seven rebounds). Not only that, but big man Amare Stoudemire returned to the lineup in the Knicks last game, scoring six points on 3 of 8 shooting, getting 16 minutes of playing time.
If you like basketball, this will be a game to watch. Or if you're a college football fan, record this game and watch it later --- it will be worth it.
I like the Knicks at home as your free play of the day.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3

Your Thursday freebie is the New York Knicks as they take on the San Antonio Spurs in a TNT marquee matchup.
The Knicks have already claimed the first series meeting this year, winning outright by 4 points as the +5 1/2 point underdogs in San Antonio. Now the Knicks get a shot at the season-series sweep on their home floor.
New York has been slumping just a little of late - losers of their last pair and five of their last eight overall - but they were off last night and should be itching to get back to their winning ways.
The Knicks have won 12 of 15 straight up this season at Madison Square Garden while sporting a 9-6 spread mark.
San Antonio ran their win streak to 6 in a row with the win last night, but we all know how Greg Popovich likes to rest his aging stars when it comes to back-to-back games, especially on the road.
I am backing the Knicks to complete the season-series sweep.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Thursday January, 3

Thursday's free play comes in the NBA as I back the underdog Minnesota Timberwolves plus the points against the Denver Nuggets.
Even if Ricky Rubio has to sit this one out, I feel the Nuggets extra-effort win over the 17-wins in a row Clippers the other night will have Denver in a bit of a "letdown" mode, as the Nuggets leave room for the T-Wolves to get inside of this impost.
The teams have split the two meetings straight up this season - both meetings thus far in the Twin Cities - and Minny has gone a mighty respectable 9-1 against the spread their last ten visits to the Pepsi Center.
Minnesota was on court in Utah last night getting pasted by a 106-84 count which should have them in a little bit of a nasty mood tonight.
With this line on the rise, just enough wiggle-room here for the Wolves and that 9-1 spread mark in the Mile High City the last ten visits.
Take Minnesota plus the points.

Gonzaga at Pepperdine
Prediction: Pepperdine
The Bulldogs (13-1) are playing in just their third true road game in this one -- and they are just 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games on the road. Gonzaga has also failed to cover the point spread in 10 of their last 14 games against West Coast Conference opponents. The Bulldogs do come off their nice 69-68 win at Oklahoma State as a 2-point underdog -- but they have then failed to cover the spread in 4 of their last 5 games following a win. Pepperdine (8-5) comes off a 60-59 win versus Fresno Pacific last Friday. The Wave have been reliable in situations like this. They have covered 4 of their last 5 games on their home court. Additionally, Pepperdine is 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Take the points with the Wave.

USC/ Stanford Under 125: Here's a stat for ya. in the last 6 meetings between these teams, the OU line average was just 119.5 with not one of those lines being above 125, yet all 6 games have gone under and by an average of 13 ppg. This has been a very low scoring series of late and I don't see it changing here. Stanford has played some higher scoring games than normal away from home, but they have played 4 teams that play faster than USC (Northwestern, NC State, Missouri and Minnesota), while the one game they played vs a slowdown team (Northern Iowa), just 116 points were scored in that one. USC started the year at home vs Coppin State and in that game 160 points were scored. Now since then they have had 6 home game and those games have averaged just 111 ppg (regulation). That is how this team likes to play. They want the game in the 50's. Stanford allows just 63.6 ppg on 40% shooting overall, while USC allows just 57.4 ppg on 34.8% shooting at home. I feel that at home the Trojans will get the pace where they want it and that should keep this game from reaching the 120's.
NEW MEXICO STATE -12.5 over Texas- San Antonio: These Aggies may be just 6-8 on the year, but they are also 5-1 at home and have always played well here. NMSU has gone 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 lined home games, including 3-1 ATS this year, while outscoring their opponents by 14 ppg at home on the year. TXSA has gone 2-5 on the road this year, but each road loss has been by DD and they have been outscored by 18.2 ppg in those losses. Their losses included an 11 points loss to SC Upstate and a 33 point loss to Cal- Santa Barbara and the Aggies are clearly a better team than those two team, especially at home. The Aggies get a slight edge on offense, but a bigger edge on defense, where they have allowed just 58.4 ppg on 35.1% shooting at home, while the Roadrunners have allowed 73.9 ppg on 47.8% shooting overall and 41.1% shooting from long range on the road this year. I just don't expect the Roadrunners to come up with enough stops to keep this one close. Aggies by 17+ here.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea
All patients with repeated pattern of disruptive snoring and or other signs of sleep disordered breathing should be screened for sleep apnea.
Screening may be performed at home using ambulatory testing techniques. Detailed testing and evaluation requires testing in a sleep laboratory. During testing in a sleep laboratory the lab monitors a number of parameters including:
- blood oxygen levels
- respiration (chest motions, airflow, oxygenation levels)
- cardiovascular parameters (EKG and blood pressure)
- snoring
- limb movements
- brain activity.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSA) is characterized by repetitive and prolonged interruptions of breathing during sleep. Snoring is nearly a universally observed feature but opposed to simple snorers, patients with OSA suffer from a more severe collapse leading to breathing pauses and disruptions.
Repeated blockages in airflow and decrease in oxygen levels cause inability to maintain restful sleep. Struggle to maintain breathing during sleep leads to repeated arousals from deeper levels of sleep to open up the breathing passages. This leads to fragmented sleep leading to poor sleep quality and numerous negative physiologic effects.
Symptoms and complications of untreated sleep apnea are numerous and can include:
Neurocognitive Complications
- Excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue
- Increased risk of motor vehicle accidents from falling asleep while driving
- Headaches
- Feeling of dullness or
- Marital or relationship difficulty
Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Metabolic Complications
- Hypertension
- Increased risk of stroke
- Increased risk of heart attack
Impaired glucose metabolism

Customer Raves & Reviews
Nice Quality, Good Customer Service
Our magnets look very nice. We did need to create the image with all of our logos on our end because there are not enough customizable features, however we were able to do this so it wasn't too much of an issue. We DID appreciate being able to change the font of the actual calendar through magnetstreet with no trouble. Also, probably the very best thing was that we realized a couple of days after ordering that we had forgotten to order envelopes to go with our magnets. Customer service was able to quickly add them to our order and they were included in the shipment with no delay. Also, things came a bit faster than expected. In all, a good experience and we will come again.
Consistently Excellent Customer Service
I have been using Magnet Street for my magnetic calendars for over fifteen years. They are fast, reliable, reasonably priced,and have excellent customer service. I am always satisfied, and would strongly recommend their products and services
Easy to order, friendly and helpful staff
I've used MagnetStreet for years and have always found them to be very helpful and easy to work with.

Kaitlin's Return To TV?
Earlier today, I came across this picture of Kaitlin at the giant bike rally in Sturgis, SD. Notice in the background there's a sign for the Full Throttle Saloon, which is one of the bars in that area that is open for only the week of the bike rally.
Besides lots of over-the-hill bands, the main attraction of that bar is that a film crew "documents" everything that happens on the premises for a show by the same name. The show is focused on owner Mike Ballard, his dancer fiance, Angie Carlson, and their best friend, Jackyll leader Jesse James Dupree. It's a terrible show, to be honest, with fake fights between the three, and over-dramatic reactions to any event that will "threaten" the future of the bar. Various other employees, customers, and musicians are also featured in various subplots.
Kaitlin is there working for Budweiser, and given her semi-fame, it's pretty obvioius to me that she will appear next season. TruTV, which airs the show (and is also owned by CBS), has also been forwarding pictures of her at the event. I wonder if she'll find a biker version of Jeremy in my home state?

Finally got me a radio which does HF, 21 years is a bit long. I have an IC-7100 and am currently learning it. I am using a RadioWorks Windom 80 antenna. For a tuner, I have a LDG AT-100ProII Autotuner and it works well with the 7100.
It will be nice to contact fellow TALARC members.
I would also like to contact someone about Navy/MarineCorp Mars. Need info on how to join and will need an elmer to assist getting me going.
Congrats! I would be happy to setup a skid with you for some HF rag chewing. I am also a Navy/Marine Corps MARS member so I can help answer your questions there too.
Best regards,
Rev. Rich "Doc" AC8AL
Good Luck with your new rig. Catch you for a QSO sometime. de WA2VFK
Type in Navy-Marine Corps MARS in your search engine and you will see the primary Navy-Marine Corps MARS website show up at the top of the list. Select that site. From there you can get answers to many questions including requirements to join and what you must do each month to stay a member. You will need HF abilities for MARS and be able to operate outside of the amateur radio bands as all MARS traffic is on frequencies above or below the ham bands.
For rag chewing I am usually on early in the morning around 7:30 AM for the Navy Amateur Radio Club net which is on 7.245 MHz. That is a directed net. After the net I will switch frequencies or bands and do some rag chewing. Afternoons vary. Evenings are usually MARS and other nets early on and then after that it is rag chews as time allows. What is your time table for rag chewing and on air time?
Best regards,

Botox can improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and "crow's feet" at the outside corners of the eyes. It can also create a smoother appearance to the skin surface by preventing muscle contraction.
Botox is the brand name for clostridium botulinum. Small, diluted amounts of this prescription medicine can be directly injected into specific muscles blocking signals from the facial nerves to the muscles resulting in an inability of the muscles to contract. This causes existing wrinkles to relax and soften. Botox typically reduces wrinkles by 80 percent
Initial Visit
During the complimentary first visit, a full medical history is taken. The physical examination focuses on age, genetics, skin type and elasticity. It is important to discuss any pre-existing conditions, including allergies, and medications.
The Injection
Botox is injected with a very fine needle into specific muscles.
Prior to the Injection
For at least two weeks prior to the procedure, patients are required to refrain from smoking, alcohol and aspirin products. Smoking interferes with circulation and healing, and products containing aspirin or ibuprofen thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
After the Injection
The full effect of the injection is noticed after about a week. Lines continue to improve for up to 30 days, and the effect lasts for 3 to 4 months.
Possible Side Effects
Botox injections are safe and quick. However, as with all cosmetic procedures there are possible side-effects and risks. The most common side effects are discomfort or pain at the injection site, dry mouth, headache, and flu-like symptoms. Infrequently, patients may have an allergic reaction to Botox. Your physician will go over this with you.
Botox is safe, quick, virtually painless and has helped millions of patients get rid of nagging facial lines and wrinkles.

Greg Rich has traveled through time, become one of the legendary Musketeers, and--most recently-- prevented the Spanish army from attacking Paris. He should feel invincible. Instead, he and his friends languish in prison, having stumbled into a trap set by Milady and the Prince of Conde.
But Greg didn't come to the seventeenth century to sit in a jail cell and await execution. He, Aramis, Athos, and Porthos are Musketeers, and King Louis is in immediate danger of being overthrown by the scheming prince. Faster than they can say "All for one, and one for all," the boys plot to break out of prison, defend Louis, and return Greg and his parents to the twenty-first century.
Amid narrow escapes, flying arrows, and fiery explosions, the Musketeers battle to save the king-- and history itself. Because if the past changes, what happens to Greg's future?
About the Author
Stuart Gibbs lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and two children, Dashiell and Violet. He is the author of The Last Musketeer and The Last Musketeer: Traitor's Chase, the first two books in this exciting series. Gibbs is also a screenwriter and the author of the young adult novel Belly Up.
Praise For…
Praise for THE LAST MUSKETEER:"From the gripping first sentence...the excitement never flags in this newly imagined Musketeer adventure. Using Alexandre Dumas' stories as a jumping-off point, Gibbs mixes fact, fantasy and thrills to create a galloping swashbuckler."
-Kirkus Reviews
Praise for THE LAST MUSKETEER:"Gibbs deftly packs an abundance of historical detail into a lively narrative that captures the swashbuckling spirit of Dumas's original. Full of jovial humor, narrow escapes, sorcery, and intrigue."
-School Library Journal
Praise for THE LAST MUSKETEER:"[An] action-packed tale."
-Publishers Weekly
Praise for THE LAST MUSKETEER:"Gibbs' playful, action-packed twist on the classic novel includes plenty of humor as Greg attempts to fit into medieval life. An entertaining premise and high adventure."
-ALA Booklist

HAZARD – A plea deal announced in court on Thursday could result in a Perry County woman spending up to 25 years in prison, though a victim in the case said she has concerns about the potential for early release.
The agreement would have 21-year-old Lilli N. Hurt, of Bonnyman, plead guilty to amended charges of second-degree robbery, three counts of second-degree assault, and one count of third-degree assault in exchange for a maximum of 25 years to serve. She was originally charged with first-degree robbery and three counts of attempted murder, and under the agreement announced on Thursday would be eligible for parole in less than 10 years.
Hurt appeared in Perry Circuit Court on Thursday, where one of the victims, Raedawnua Slone, said she wanted Hurt to spend at least 10 years in prison, and her release before that time would not constitute an appropriate sentence.
"She's destroyed my life," Slone said. "I think she should stay 25 years, not get out on parole in five years. What's five years?"
Hurt was arrested on Sept. 27, 2012, after she was alleged to have entered the Grapevine BP station on Highway 15 and attempted to take money from the cash register. She was also alleged to have stabbed two people, including Slone, and attempted to stab another before fleeing the business. Police later located Hurt and placed her under arrest, but not before she allegedly assaulted a state trooper.
Judge William Engle noted that neither he nor Commonwealth's Attorney John Hansen have control over whether Hurt will be granted parole once she is eligible. He said he was inclined to accept the agreement and make a final decision at the time of sentencing, but after Slone expressed her reservations about the agreement he suggested delaying the hearing until next week.
Engle ordered the second victim in the case, Keshia Miller, be subpoenaed to appear for the hearing on Sept. 12, at which time he will consider both victims' statements and any arguments from the attorneys before he makes a decision on accepting the plea.
Hurt, meanwhile, is currently lodged in the Kentucky River Regional Jail in Hazard.

So after realizing my passion for individuality and my love for photography and video, I chose to make a collective branding business where I can work for myself while working to help others and I have realized that in this life my sole purpose is to be myself while inspiring others to do the same.
Greatest business accomplishment: So far my greatest business accomplishment has been reaching my Kickstarter goal. After I reached my crowd-funding goal in December the publicity and hype for INDI and Destination Dream took off more than I expected.
How has the Launch Pad Helped: The Launchpad has helped my business by giving me the tools to receive the necessary information that I need to be a successful entrepreneur. I meet with Stacey Banks twice a month to go over my business plan and ideas for INDI. Although she is a business consultant she doesn't treat me like a client. She shows interest in my business and my ideas, which is what keeps me coming back to the Launch Pad.

I second Bvlgari Black.
What do you all feel about this? For newer members, this is where we all pick a scent that many people have in their wardrobe or could easily obtain samples of & wear it on the same day. Recently, we've done this with Dior Homme, Mugler Cologne, & Green Irish Tweed. Let's use this thread to make suggestions, & after many have chimed in I'll make a poll out of the 7 or 8 most recommended frags. Then after the winner is chosen, we'll set the scent synchronization date out a couple weeks so people can obtain samples if they don't have the frag in their wardrobe.
I'll start. I'm looking forward to cooler weather, so I'll suggest Bvlgari Black, YSL M7, & Burberry Brit.

"Perfume is the dream that carries me."
There is always the sky to look at
Bvl Black sounds like fun
"You smell kinda pretty! Wanna Smell me ?"
- Johnny Bravo
Bulgari Black sounds like a great idea - I have never given it a full wearing.
I'm sure up for this party. I'll wear most anything, but I've already got M7. I'd go for trying out Egoiste or Anteaus too, or even Allure.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
I'll pitch in.........
Got M7....actually haven't worn it in a while.
Don't own Bvl Black or the Brit, but I'm sure I could get some.
What do you guys and gals think of D&G PH.....just throwing that one out there.
What a fantastic idea! The great thing about this is I have a 75ml bottle of Bvlgari Black arriving tomorrow, and the even better thing is I only had to pay £6 ($12) courtesy of a pricing mistake on the cheapsmells website!! Hows that for a bargain?
I also have YSL Body Kouros arriving tomorrow, both blind buys but I'm feeling confident and with Black being so cheap I don't think I can go wrong!
I'm extremely curious about M7 aswell, I've heard very good things.
Great idea guys, I'll post up my opinions of Bvlgari Black tomorrow.
Sounds like fun and I want to play ... any of these already mentioned sound good.
I've trademarked the color bleu
Sounds really fun.
I've never actually tested Bvlgari Black on my skin... this just might give me an excuse to buy a bottle. YSL M7 is one of my faves, too. (I liked Brit for a while, but I swapped it as I stopped liking it).
Another idea of mine: Gaultier². I'm surprised that Ann didn't mention this one, as it's a fave of hers. And it's one of my faves, too... plus if we chose this, all the ladies could synchronize with us, too! Scent Synchronization Day for Humanity, anyone? Or, if we would prefer to use a traditional masculine scent, Armani Code and Sean John Unforgivable could be good bets, too.
"It always seems impossible until it's done." -Nelson Mandela
My mission statement: "I am not afraid to keep on living - I am not afraid to walk this world alone."
Gaultier2 is fine, as well.
But Black and G2 are the only ones I own that have been mentioned so far.
"To be irreplaceable, one must always be different!" - Coco Chanel

non of them, I got Brit for Men (i never wear this one), Bulgari Black is to sweet for me (it is a nice scent, maybe in the coldest winter), but i would wear Original Santal or Green Irish Tweed (Creed), French Lover (Frederic Malle), Rive Gauche (YSL) or Terre d´Hermés (Hermés), Egoiste (Chanel), Homme or Fahrenheit (Dior), John Varvotos!!!

- Rich
As always, disregard most of what I say. It's not worth your heart health to actually worry about what a 23 year old guy from Kansas thinks. Even if he is really ridiculously good looking.
I would like to nominate YSL Rive Gauche, Narciso Rodriguez for Him or maybe even Gucci Envy.
"Wait...is David Bowie really God?" - Penelope Garcia
Another vote for Gaultier 2.
I couldn't wait - I'm wearing G2 now.
This one has my vote, especially as we move into Fall here in the Northeast.

I'm up for it--Which one?
I've decided I'm going to have to support Bvlgari Black on this one. Where was I when we did this with Dior Homme?!

"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
I currently only have brit, but have been wanting to pickup M7 & Black for quite sometime now. So any of the current suggestions sound great
I haven't worn M7 or Burberry Brit in QUITE a while (it's still too damn HOT here to wear either one), so I'll nominate those 2. Plus, I think some of the ladies here could pull off wearing either of those 2.
Dave here.
Also like to nominate Angel Men.
Guerlain Vetiver or Habit Rouge?
I'm ready to wear Bulgari Black anytime!

"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
another vote for Gaultier2 !
Chanel - Cuire de Ruissie and Eau de Cologne
Penhaligons - Quercus, Castille, and Raquets
Dior -Eau Noire, Dior Homme Cologne, Dior Homme Intense, and Dior Sweet Sun
Frédéric Malle - Angelique sous la pluie and Eau d'Hiver
L'Artisan - l'eau de l'artisan and bois farine
Hermès - Elixir des Merveilles, Jardin sur Nil, and Hermessence Confret.
Gaultier² , because a) it's such a chameleon and b) it's fairly available all over the country and c) can be worn by either gender.

I have Bvgari Black and M7 and am reay to go.
I could do G2, if everyone wants to...I have half a sample somewhere...
Wasn't M7 an SSD 'fume in 2004?!
Black is great for me, as I both have it and love it.
I own G2, but haven't used it for a year. High time - my vote is for G2.
I'd be fine with several of the fragrances mentioned.
[edit] I'm deleting my proposal of Fleur du Mâle, because it's so new on the market that it's relatively hard to get samples or cheap bottles.
Last edited by PaulSC; 6th September 2007 at 06:59 PM.
Spray it, dont say it
I'll jump in with support for M7, Brit, or Gucci Envy.
I also think it would be cool to do a Chanel classic like Egoiste or Antaeus.
And another name I'll throw into the ring is CK Obsession, a mainstream classic that I think is so far past its overexposed heyday, it's now underrated.
Finally, I'd like to suggest KOUROS, just because I think the world needs more KOUROS (seriously), although I do not expect that such a polarizing fragrance would ever gain the necessary consensus.
Just because it happened to you doesn't make it interesting.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
My sales thread: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/304...85#post2614885
Wanted: YSL Nu EdP
M7, Envy, Gucci pour Homme all sound like appropriate fall scents. G2 however, I am not a big fan of.
Keep the suggestions coming, guys & gals. I'll probably tally the most popular requests this weekend...most likely Sunday. Then I'll create a poll & we can choose from there!
"Wait...is David Bowie really God?" - Penelope Garcia
Ive Just Got A Small Tester Of Bulgari Black On Order So I Say That One!
Envy Gucci and Rive Gauche pour Homme get my vote.

TomTom announces 'White Pearl' special edition
Jun 02 2009
TomTom announces 'White Pearl' special edition
2 June 2009 – TomTom has today announced the White Pearl – a special edition navigation product with a twist! The White Pearl's stylish, pearlescent design makes the perfect gift, as well as appealing to the driver who likes a touch of glamour in their car.
With a chic pearlescent finish and matching EasyPort™ folding mount, the White Pearl is a departure from the typical look and feel of a TomTom portable navigation device. The product is decorated with a subtle 'swirl' pattern, which is beautifully expanded on the start up screen.
Based on the TomTom ONE IQ Routes™ edition*, the White Pearl ensures that driving is safe and stress-free but also includes some brand new features : special Points of Interest such as, 'Places to be seen' and 'Shop 'til you drop'. Covering everything from restaurants, bars, cafes, coffee shops, cinemas and theatres to fashion and home furnishing stores – the White Pearl gives drivers the ability to explore new places.
The White Pearl and its mount are presented in a luxurious silk drawstring bag, which also keeps it clean and safe from any knocks and bumps.
As well as Points of Interest, the White Pearl comes with TomTom's extremely useful Help Me! safety features, including emergency phone numbers and a 'Where Am I?' function – essential if the car breaks down on a journey, for example. And, as with all TomTom devices, the driver can simply plug in and go.
Corinne Vigreux, TomTom's managing director, said, "We designed the White Pearl to appeal to anyone wanting to give someone (or themselves) a very special gift, spicing up an already excellent navigation product with some fun, exclusivity and style. From birthdays to anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day as well as Christmas, we believe this will make an extremely useful and desirable gift."
The White Pearl offers the usual TomTom navigation benefits: it is easy to install and use, and includes TomTom Map Share™ technology and the ever-useful Help Me! safety menus, amongst other features. In addition, it has TomTom's unique IQ Routes™ technology, ensuring users automatically have the most reliable travel and arrival times on their device. Also included is advanced lane guidance – an important safety feature that ensures drivers always know the correct lane to take on complex motorway junctions.
Saving time, money and stress with TomTom navigation**
Driving with a navigation device has been proven to:
- • Reduce driver stress – 74% of drivers feel less stressed when driving with a sat nav
• Save time and money – drivers can save up to 2,000 miles and 60 hours in the car per annum
• Enhance safety – the risk of accidents is 12% lower when driving with a sat nav
Availability and pricing
The TomTom White Pearl will be available in June 2009 from Widget, tel 01438 842350, www.widget.co.uk and www.amazon.co.uk. The suggested retail price is £179.99†. For more information, please visit: www.tomtom.com
Notes to Editors
† Prices are set by retailers and may vary.
* The TomTom White Pearl includes maps of 42 European countries, as follows: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK and the Vatican City. Also including the connecting roads of Albania, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Moldavia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

English Barbie® Doll
Greetings from "Jolly Old England," a country rich in tradition and pageantry! English Barbie doll wears a lovely blue and red sidesaddle riding habit, the height of fashion among English horsewomen in the 1890s. Her ensemble is decorated with an ascot tie and "jeweled" pin, topped by an English bowler (derby hat). She's perfectly suited for a jaunty steeplechase (horse race). Cheerio (goodbye)!
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

METAIRIE, La. -- Crime in Jefferson Parish was down in 2012, according to statistics released from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Newell Normand said 2012 had the lowest crime rate in decades in Jefferson Parish.
Statistics show Jefferson Parish saw 33 murders in 2012, down from 49 in 2011 -- a 32.7 percent drop. Overall crime dropped 4.8 percent in 2012 over 2011; it's the lowest rate since 1974.
What accounts for the decrease? Normand said part of it has to do with a nationwide drop in crime. He said citizen tips and cooperation is another vital piece of the puzzle. And the boots on the ground and quality-of-life programs are another key.
'Our officers give a damn,' said Normand, 'and they put themselves at risk each and every day, and really this is a testament of their hard work, and I cannot tell you how incredibly proud I am of this organization as a whole.'
Normand said initiatives started decades ago, like community policing, have led to a steady decline in crime. He also said there is a concerted effort to make sure felons don't have firearms. Normand said fighting crime takes a holistic approach.

Enrique Chagoya's Talk
Personally, Enrique Chayoya's presence in the Art Department was a refreshing and renovating experience for me. Since the beginning of his lecture, I felt connected, engaged, and somewhat identified with his career evolution and life experiences. I just loved that, despite the fact that he is been living in the United States for several years, his personality still reflects a unique perspective and reveals some of his own Mexican roots. An example of this was the smooth pace and length of his lecture, specially at the beginning when he started narrating the life events that made him become what he is now: 1.An artist, and 2. A person engaged with political issues. Thanks to this introduction about him and his life experiences, the works (slides) he presented throughout his presentation were strong and easy to understand and appreciate. I also enjoy how confident he was and how good he was as a story teller. Being able to talk about your own life, work and interests through a nice accessible tale, is an element that make people feel less distant from the artist who is talking to you. I really admire this.
On the other hand, I also enjoyed the fact that he showed his early work, and not only the work he has recently done or his "famous work". I consider that, specially in an academic context like ours, showing different samples and stages of work is very valuable.

About Chandon
Tom TiburziWinemaker, Sparkling Wine
Tom's love affair with wine began long before coming to Chandon. The son of an Italian immigrant chef and retail wine-and-spirits merchant, food and wine are in his blood. Tom worked in the family stores since early childhood, and along with family and friends, made wine at home using a shared press in the garage. After earning a degree in Environmental Studies and Biology from the University of California at Berkeley, and an early foray into microbiology, Tom reconnected with the family's passion and parlayed his scientific training into a professional winemaking career. He's now spent the last 21 years mastering the art of sparkling winemaking at Chandon. His expertise in the science of sparkling winemaking along with his creative blending skills have played a key role in the creation of Chandon's diverse sparkling-wine cuvées. Currently, Tom continues to demonstrate his exceptional talents as he oversees Domaine Chandon's sparkling program, carrying on a tradition of crafting the finest and broadest range of sparkling-wine styles in America.
