At its core, electronic fuel injection is nothing more than a central computer interacting with a bunch of sensors to keep an engine happy. Obviously, this is much easier said than done, and getting it right involves a synergy of hardware, software, and tuning expertise. For nearly two decades, Fuel Air Spark Technology has had the first two elements of that three-part equation thoroughly covered. The biggest wild card has always been the skill and experience of the tuner, but fortunately, FAST has some great advice for walking novices through the process of tuning an aftermarket EFI system. To get to the bottom of it all, we threw an onslaught of elementary tuning questions at FAST's Kevin Winstead, and he was more than happy to share his expertise. Just some of the topics he shared with us include how to establish a baseline tune, the benefits of tuning on the dyno versus tuning at the track, how to set the fuel and spark maps at various engine loads, dialing in the air/fuel ratio for different types of fuel, and how to tune for boost and nitrous.
Furthermore, FAST's existing XFI stand-alone system underwent an extensive update last year. The new XFI 2.0 system is a firmware upgrade that unlocks a new realm of performance potential. New features include a boost controller, internal data logging, a four-stage nitrous controller, a self-learning fuel map, an intelligent traction control system, transbrake control, and the ability to switch among multiple tunes by flipping a switch. The good news is that older XFI stand-alone systems can be upgraded to the version 2.0 software with an upgrade CD, as it is completely compatible with the existing XFI hardware. Naturally, we had Winstead explain all the benefits of XFI 2.0 in far greater detail to supplement his valuable tuning advice. Here are his words of wisdom.
There are newer stand-alone EFI systems on the market, but the FAST XFI system is still getting the job done. Based on the feedback we heard from racers at the track, we added a new firmware upgrade to the existing system last year to create XFI 2.0. FAST's XFI 2.0 is now more versatile than ever. With the new Qwik-Tune technology integrated into the 2.0, you can toggle among four different tunes at the flick of a switch, eliminating the need for a laptop. For example, you can have one tune for daily driving, a race tune for running nitrous at the track, and another tune to maximize fuel economy. Likewise, the XFI 2.0 features a very robust NTK wideband O2 sensor as standard equipment, which is one of the most dependable sensors on the market. A new self-learning table allows for quick and easy fuel mapping automatically, and two new exciting options are intelligent traction control and internal data logging. For power-adder applications, XFI 2.0 has a standard boost controller, and it can also manage up to four stages of nitrous. Other perks include the option to choose between sequential or bank-to-bank injector firing, and compatibility with flex fuel sensors for use with E85.
DIY Tuning
For someone just getting started with EFI, the process of tuning an engine can be intimidating, but it's definitely feasible. All it takes is some patience and some basic knowledge of what tuning changes your engine requires. It certainly helps to have a good baseline tune as well as intuitive software. Fortunately, XFI 2.0 includes many baseline tune files that allow users to get started quickly. Likewise, the self-learning fuel tables make it much easier to dial in the fuel maps. FAST also offers XFI tuning classes that provide a wealth of information for all aspiring tuners. Check out FAST's website to get an up-to-date schedule.

Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - The Indiana Pacers announced Wednesday they have signed undrafted free agent center Shayne Whittington.
The 6-foot-10, 237-pound Western Michigan product averaged 16.1 points per game, shot 52 percent from the field, and averaged 8.9 rebounds per game in his senior season.
Whittington will not participate in rookie/free agent camp as he recovers from a broken fibula in his left leg, sustained in early May during a workout while preparing for the NBA Draft.

Darksiders 2 Video Walkthrough | Boss Guide: How to beat Jamaerah the Scribe
Death is out to clear his brother's name and restore order to the realm by resurrecting humanity. To do this, he'll have to smash his way through legions of boss battles, uncover a variety of secrets, and try his best to keep his skull mask from getting dirty. Vito Gesualdi helps you get it done in this video walkthrough!
Ivory Citadel Walkthough | Boss Guide: How to beat Jamaerah the Scribe
At the end of the Ivory Citadel, you'll find Jamaerah, a big fat jerk floating in his chair. Time to take this baddie down to the ground.
Jamaerah will always start the battle by launching an energy ball at you, so keep moving and dodging to get out of the projectile's way. Afterwards, use the Voidwalker to open any two portals on the ground floor. Position yourself in front of one (easy to do by running through a portal and standing in place where you emerge) while using Redemption to get in some cheap hits. Jamaerah will attempt to fire another energy ball, so lock on and dodge once he thrusts his hands forward to throw it. The energy ball will pass through the portal behind you and slam into the Scribe, stunning him so you can run forward for some damage.
At half health, Jamaerah will float over the battlefield, preparing to use a ground slam. Quickly open a portal in the air, then jump through your portal on the ground once he starts descending in order to avoid the electric shockwave. After this, he will summon two corrupted angels to distract you. Dispatch them as quickly as you can, then return to using the energy ball fakeout for more damage.
With 1/10th of his heath remaining, Jamaerah will use another ground pound. Use the escape to the air trick, then open the portal he reveals beneath his chair. With a portal open beneath him, and another portal placed on the second story, his electric attack will go through and strike him, leaving this boss battle finished!

Royal wedding photos - how to take them and what to do with them
Whether you're a patriotic royalist, a strict republican or utterly indifferent, there's no denying that the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton is a significant historical event - not to mention a great opportunity for capturing some shots of the big day, Union Jack bunting and all, so that you can firmly say that you were there when the moment happened. Stirring stuff.
Of course, with a heaving throng lining the streets, it's not going to be the easiest time for photographers with both professional papps and enthusiastic amateurs jockeying for prime position. So, to help you in your quest to get the best snaps you can, here are a few tips we've put together along with the help of Nikon who managed to get hold of royal photographer for the Sun, Arthur Edwards, and some excellent ideas of what you can do with your snaps once you've got them.
Shooting Tips
Before we even get to your camera, the first thing you'll need to do is make sure you've bagged yourself a decent vantage point. Nikon and Edwards have put together a map of the procession and where you need to be to capture each of the most important moments.
Pay attention to the route and the times to make sure you're not in one place when you're supposed to be in another and remember to utilise the back street London routes in order to get to your next spot with minimal crowd interference.
You're going to have to get fairly guerrilla about this, so you can leave your tripod at home. Choose your camera with the best zoom whether it's a DSLR or not. Distance from the action is going to be one of your biggest problems so being able to zoom in is everything. Once you've chosen your weapon, make sure to fully charge your battery before you go and carry a powered up spare if you have one. Your other big need is memory cards. Two 8GB ones will see you through nicely, particularly if you're planning on capturing some video as well.
Other than that, wear a decent pair of shoes no matter how hot it is. Nothing open toed because you are going to get trodden on. Also consider a small set of steps if you can stomach carrying them around all day. There's going to be a sea of arms in the air as well as all sorts of heads blocking your view. If you can lift yourself above the crowd, you're going to do well. Finally, try to take an item of clothing with a zip close pocket for your memory cards. The last thing you want to do is lose your hard caught work.
Camera settings
While you might know what your aim is, your camera will not. So, here are a few ideas for fiddling with the settings to make sure that your snapper is up to speed for royal wedding photography.
ISO - Keep it down. By all means, stick to auto if you prefer but, given that all your shots will be outdoors, then there's no need to go beyond ISO 400 and it will keep your images noise free.
Resolution - Max it out. If you've got 12 megapixels, then make sure you're using every single one of them. You'll be able to effectively zoom when you crop your shots later.
Zoom - Use it but don't go digital. Digital zoom just means that you start to sacrifice the resolution and it's harder to hold the camera steady than it is to crop and get closer in post instead. Optical zoom only, please.
Anti-shake - Whatever your anti-shake/image stabilisation technology calls itself, turn that sucker on. It's not easy to hold still when you're zoomed in as far as you can go and it's very easy to come out with a load of blurry shots. Instead, let your camera help you out on this front. On compacts, what you're often looking for is an icon of a hand with some little waves around it or sometimes the letters OIS or just IS or maybe even VR.
Face recognition - It's going to be largely about capturing people with William, Kate and the assorted dignitaries the prime targets. Funnily enough, they all have faces, so switch on face recognition which should help your camera track the correct points of focus for each time you hit the shutter release.
Flash off - Cameras are funny things in automatic mode and, for some reason, yours might decide that it needs to use the flash at some point. It doesn't. There is no way a flash from your camera is going to help illuminate the happy couple at the kind of distance away that you'll be standing, so flash forced off.
Continuous Shooting - The joy of digital photography - particularly when you're carrying around 16GB of SD memory - is that you can rattle off as many snaps as you like. There's no point in keeping your camera on single shot mode. Let rip. You'll have a better chance of grabbing the perfect snap. So, head into your settings and find the burst mode. Just make sure you don't have to trade of speed with resolution.
Vari-angle screen - If you've got one, then use it. These things are a god send for trying to shoot over people's heads while still being able to line up your photos properly
Other advice
Get there early - Obvious but necessary. You're never going to be at the front of the queue but just make sure you're not at the back of the pack either.
Ask people to move - Ok, the crowd won't part like the Red Sea for you but if the odd head or arm keeps getting in the way, then a polite request might buy you the space you need. If you're particularly charming, you might even get a lift up onto someone's shoulders.
Keep your camera in your hand - And switched on if possible. Be ready for the unexpected and prepared to shoot at a moment's notice.
Snap more than Will & Kate - While the couple will be the prime target anything else that captures the mood of the historic day will look great as well - the crowd, the uniformed parades, flags and other wedding guests. Keep your eyes open.
What to do with your photos
With any luck, you should now have a memory card full of winners, so here are a few ideas of how to make the most of them. Whether it's sharing on the socials, becoming part of a collective or even a photojournalist for the day, we've got them all.
Flickr: The People's Royal Wedding Album
If you're a shutterbug then you probably will have already thought of uploading your snaps to Flickr, but did you know that the photo-sharing site has created an album especially for the big day? The People's Royal Wedding album is the place to share your snaps, whether they're pictures of you gawping at the royal procession on The Mall or raising a celebratory pint or two down the pub with your chums.
Upload your snaps by 3 May and you could be in with a chance of winning a £5000 'honeymoon'. The Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond will pick the winner.
From the makers of Hipstamatic, SwankoLab enables you to apply retro effects to your pics after you've taken them with your regular iPhone (or iPad camera). Described as being "like a darkroom, but less messy and less dark", the app will let you add an extra touch of retro cool to your pictures and give them a nostalgic quality, despite the fact that you've only just taken them.
In you insist on being an insufferable hipster then you can, of course, just cut out the middle man and take them with Hipstamatic for an instant retro effect. Either way, your Royal Wedding photos can look like instant classics - as if they've been on the mantelpiece in the sunshine for years.
If you want to do your bit as a so-called citizen journalist then you could send your snaps over to the BBC at firstname.lastname@example.com or text them to directly to 61124 (UK) or +44 7725 100 100 (International). No doubt most other popular news outlets will be asking for photos from the public as well, so take your pick.
If you somehow manage to get a particularly interesting or unusual snap (such as a pre-wedding snap of Kate Middleton's dress perhaps) then you could even try selling it to the picture desk of a national newspaper.
Color Splash
When it comes to photo editing, there are lots of apps to choose from, but Colour Splash is one of the best around if you want to make your pics look arty. The idea is that you can take a snap (or use one from your photo library) and change it to black and white, while colourising a chosen section. For example, you could take a picture of a street party, turn it monochome and then restore the colour on the Union Jack bunting that will inevitably be strewn across the road.
You do this by using your finger as a 'brush' to add the colour back in and you can zoom in close to make sure that you don't go over the lines. This neat little iPad app will set you back just £1.19 from iTunes (or just 59p for the iPhone version). Don't worry though, these aren't just the preserve of cameraphones. There are plenty of compacts out there that also offer this kind of post-production in-device as well. A very neat way to make the happy couple really stand out from the rest of the crowd.
If you're desperately clinging to your analogue camera, you're a new convert to film photography, or simply revisiting the joys of non-digital snapping then you might want to upload your shots to photo-sharing section of the Lomography website. Users from around the world share their images here and tag them with which camera they've used (it doesn't have to be a Lomo-branded snapper).
If you're pics are any good then Lomo might even end up getting using them in its marketing material around the globe. There are also lots of Lomo splinter groups of Flickr with the LOMO group having one of the biggest followings, with more than 27,000 members. You're bound to find a few royalists in there somewhere.
This free app lets you use your pictures to make a public photo album with your friends, across multiple phones. Every snap is instantly shared among everyone (yes, everyone, not just your friends) taking photos and videos using the app in the immediate vicinity.
It's available for both iPhone and Android and in celebration of the royal nuptials, Color has teamed up with The Telegraph to provide a live stream of photos taken throughout Britain using the app. The best pictures will then be printed on The Daily Telegraph and also appear on the newspaper's website.
Although the Royal Wedding isn't being filmed in 3D, you can still step into the third dimension with your photos from the big day. Microsoft's Photosynth software enables you to create panoramic images (up to 360°) where you take all your shots from one location, as well as 'synths', where you capture all the sides of a subject and a 3D image is created.
Once you've made your panorama or synth, you can then share it with your pals on Facebook, publish it to Bing maps or embed it in your own website. And if you want to tweak your images on the go, there's also a free iPhone app so that you can knock up 3D pics on your Apple handset.
If you want to keep things simple on the big day, then sharing your pictures with your nearest and dearest on Facebook is the easiest way. You can either upload your snaps on your computer after the event, or upload directly on the day using the mobile upload app. This is currently one of the easiest ways of sharing photos, mainly because it lets you tag people so that the images instantly appear on their profile as well (before they untag any unflattering shots, that is).
And don't worry if you've got any mates or family who are Facebook refuseniks - you'll find a link at the bottom of your album which you can email to anyone you like so that they can see it, even if they don't have a Facebook profile.
According to estimates from O2, a staggering 327 million digital snaps will be captured on mobiles on the day of the royal wedding and 65 million images will be shared via social networks. Blimey - it's going to be fun day on Facebook for people that don't give two hoots about the wedding of our future king.
If you have no interest in the Royal Wedding, then you might want to steer clear of Facebook and Twitter for the day, and maybe even turn you phone off too. What's more, you can also use one of the apps that we've mentioned (such as Hipstamatic and Color Splash) to make your snaps stand out from all the others.
Send to a photo frame
If you've got relatives that are stuck at home watching the Royal Wedding unfold on the telly, then why not send a snap to their digital photo frame? It's a much better option than simply texting them a picture of your celebrations as it'll instantly take pride of place on the mantlepiece (or wherever the photo frame happens to be).
If you want to transfer snaps after the event, then you can simply load up an SD card for them or transfer you snaps using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The Kodak Pulse and others from Samsung are the ones to look out for for the remote upload options.
Have you got any other cool ideas for your royal wedding snaps? Let us know in the comments box.

If you die a lot to knifing commandos without Leg-it, you're either doing it wrong or the knifer just happens to be really good (and that's rarely the case).
After I began to fully appreciate the RPG, I hardly ever die to knifers now, except for the guy that gets me while I'm occupied :<

Knifers never give me trouble it's the Rifles, after leg it wears off, I'm done for, I try different tactics, like popping up HS and zooking near a building to throw off their aim, never works for me tho haha! Jump crouching and crazy stuff I do to my keyboard(>_>) sometimes help, but now people are just more skilled.

Yeah, if him get you at aim, its hard to run and hide.
sometimes I use my HS and return fire with my Punky shooty, with some lucky if I do a good shot and the sniper starts to avoid confront me again. (this dont work all times, but give to me some time to heal and out of sniper sight.)

Yes, PP is better, specially if you give a head shot in poor sniper, this will let him with +- 20 HP, and you can try finish the job with your MG or make him fly with any RPG.

^Exactly. Although from my experience a skilled sniper stands out the most; it's the snipers that wipe out poor little targets without giving them a chance.
Quoting a friend, most people think that "noobs seem to think that aiming a reticle over an enemy's head and clicking sets the bar when it comes to skill."

I actually think gunner takes more skill than soldier. I get crazy kill streaks with both of my soldiers that I struggle to equal with my higher-level gunner.
30-10-2011, 03:46 PM | Post: #76polifinario
gunner is easier to play with. period. It's abilities have a more intuitive flow, you can just cycle them and you'll be fine. That doesn't mean it's an easy spray 'n pray class, it just has a less steep learning curve and its more forgiving than a commando. I guess soldier is even easier to play.
but like somebody said, in the end it's the "skill" of the individual player that makes the difference.

Gunners are ''consideret' the easies class to master in low lvls because you walk around, and spray with your mg. but gunner is really hard to play when you get to higher lvls, like any other class, a gunner will of course also be stronger and stronger, gunner's do requre skill, but it IS actually the easiest class to master, but that doesn't make the gunner class bad, not at all, i love sprayin around while running fast

Enthusiasm was lacking but the Board of County Commissioners approved a millage rate and 2013-14 budget during the first public budget hearing Tuesday night.
After commissioners discussed but failed to act on any substantive changes to the budget – other than approving some department- or agency-centric changes in cash carry forward – they reluctantly approved a budget that will mean an 11.94 increase in the millage rate.
A mill is equal to $1 for every $1,000 in taxable property value.
The rollback rate, that rate at which the county would bring in the same property tax as the current fiscal year is actually above the current millage rate, due in part to declining property values, so while the millage rate is up, the 11.94 percent does not reflect true increases in revenue.
The overall budget, which includes all sources of revenue including grants, will drop from $32.66 million last year to $30.542.
Total property tax collections in the general fund would be $9.260 million, down from $9.389 million last year.
The proposed aggregate millage, including general fund and fire zones, is 6.8740. The current millage is 6.0553 and the rollback rate is 6.1408.
But commissioners were not satisfied they were able to wring all excess from the budget and with one more budget hearing, 5:01 p.m. ET on Sept. 24, they stated a desire to find more savings.
"We've cut to the point that I don't know if we can cut anymore, but we still have time to reduce it," said Commissioner Warren Yeager. "I would still like this thing to be closer to where we are at now."
Commissioner Ward McDaniel suggested, and commissioners heeded, going back and looking line by line at the department and agency budgets.
He said in perusing those lines he found areas of potential savings – increases in spending he questioned – while acknowledging individual savings might not amount to huge sums.
But taken together, McDaniel argued, the budget could be further reduced.
He asked staff to assemble justification for areas where commissioners had questions.
"Just to jump these increases in there without justifying them, I don't know about that," McDaniel said. "We have a duty to pinch every penny we can. We are fine-tuning now."
Commissioners did discuss two issues that loomed over this year's budget process as the county faced shrinking revenues, but took no action for the coming year.
A proposal to add 5 cents to local gas tax to relieve some of the property tax burden from landfill operational costs was a non-starter, in large measure due to the deadline having passed for implementing the tax for the coming fiscal year.
Yeager said it was the right thing to do and urged his fellow commissioners to keep the issue on the burner for next year, but two commissioners voiced opposition.
Commissioner Carmen McLemore said the price of gas was already too high, that local gas taxes were already lofty and any further addition would be a hardship on citizens.
"I am not in support of it," Commissioner Joanna Bryan echoed.
Yeager also broached mandatory garbage, saying it was too late to move on the issue and realize savings for next year, but urging that the BOCC at least begin the process, likely lengthy, to institute mandatory pickup.
"We need to start the process," Yeager said. "We will still be able to vote up or down on mandatory pickup. At the end of the day (mandatory pickup) solves a whole lot of problems. It will also save the taxpayer money."
McLemore has opposed a move to mandatory pickup and a referendum to implement a sales tax to fund mandatory garbage pickup was pushed to November 2014 due to opposition to mandatory garbage on the board.
However, McDaniel seemed to be backing off his opposition, noting that both cities have mandatory garbage collection and that the move would likely "not hurt anyone."
"We are going to have to cross the bridge sooner or later and I'd rather it be sooner," McDaniel said.
County administrator Don Butler was charged with continuing to explore options with both cities and examining whether the county could extend its current contract, which expires early next year, by a few months to coincide with the expiration of Port St. Joe's contract.
Port St. Joe's vendor is Waste Pro; the county's Waste Management; the city of Wewahitchka contracts with Parker Sanitation.
But linking up with the cities, it was suggested, a better overall rate for all county residents could be negotiated.
Wewahitchka health services
Sacred Heart Health Systems has announced that it will open the Wewahitchka Health Department primary care facility Sept. 23.
The facility has been without primary care services since the end of June while the transition to Sacred Heart was unfolding.
The facility will be open 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, with lab and x-ray services continuing to be provided on Fridays.
There will be an Open House 7:30-8:30 a.m. CT on Sept. 23.

Today, more and more of us are faced with caring for a loved one that lives an hour or more away. According to the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, more than five million U.S. residents are long-distance caregivers, and this number will continue to grow.
For many families, finding a balance for the patient, day-to-day caregiver, and the long-distance caregiver is a struggle, to say the least. Many long-distance caregivers feel frazzled, frustrated, and guilty for not being able to be "hands-on." Often times, this also leads to frustration and resentment – even health impacts – on the part of the person providing the day-to-day care.
Finding ways to communicate, share information, and remain involved in caregiving decisions is key, and there are a number of ways to do this. For some, phone calls and occasional visits are enough. For others, frequent traveling to doctor's appointments and scheduled treatments are a way of life. Still others are utilizing technology to help them stay in the loop, which has been made even easier with web-based organizers like Caregiver's Touch.
Beyond solutions like Caregiver's Touch, the National Institute on Aging's publication So Far Away – Twenty Questions for Long-Distance Caregivers (available online and in printed form) is full of tips to help long-distance caregivers remain involved in their loved one's care, including:
• Reaching out to your loved one's neighbor's, friends, and doctors
• Things to check for when you visit – food in the house, safety hazards, mood, driving skills, etc.
• How to decide who does what by recognizing strengths and limitations
Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that you cannot care for your loved one if you are not properly caring for yourself. Long-distance caregivers need support as well. Know when it is OK not to visit. Take advantage of support systems and resources available to you. And, keep the lines of communication open between you, your loved one, and the people providing hands on care.
Carrie Hastriter is a co-founder of Caregiver's Touch, a web-based organizational tool that empowers caregivers by capturing all of a loved one's information in one place. This comprehensive solution enhances collaboration among family members and other caregivers with the ability to easily share information via the secure Caregiver's Touch website. Downloading information using the Caregiver's Touch smartphone application provides the additional convenience of accessing critical information wherever one is, whenever it is needed.

The rumors pertaining to the next high school football coaches in Gulf County became fact on Friday.
The application window closed for Friday and school officials have already forwarded recommendations to Superintendent of Jim Norton.
The recommendation Wewahitchka Jr./Sr. High School was to hire former Bozeman High School coach Loren Tillman as the next athletic director/football coach.
Out of Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School came a recommendation for a reunion, with John Palmer getting the nod to return to coach the Tiger Sharks, who he led to the 2005 state championship.
Norton said he agreed with the recommendations and will put them before the Gulf County School Board next month for formal approval.
Palmer, who amassed a 57-27 record in seven years at Port St. Joe, left in 2008 for Hernando High School and a chance to coach his alma mater.
"He left for a rare opening to coach is alma mater but now he gets a chance to come back to where he now considers home, Port St. Joe," Norton said.
Palmer stepped down as football coach at Hernando two years ago to address health issues, but has a clean bill of health and has been a presence on a volunteer basis for the Tiger Sharks the past two years.
He has done some scouting for Coach Chuck Gannon, who retires at the end of the school year, and had worked the press box as a volunteer assistant for some games, particularly in the past year.
"The job Chuck has done the past two years to get the program back on track is a large part of all this," Palmer said. "Our goal is to keep that upswing going. That is the job of next year's team – to keep that going.
"We are very excited and can't wait to get to work."
Due to Gannon's retirement, Palmer's official hire date is March 24, allowing him to assume the reins of the football team in advance of the May 1 opening of spring football.
Tillman, who stepped aside as Bozeman football coach after 14 years - including the past nine as varsity coach - will be, to some degree, going home.
His mother and father are from multi-generational Wewahitchka families and he said that when he graduated from Florida State University nearly two decades ago, Wewahitchka High School was the first place he looked for a job, though no openings existed.
"I feel like this has been a 19-year journey," Tillman said. "I'm extremely excited. It's a great opportunity for me, to get some place I want to be and a place where so much of my family is.
"I'm excited for me and excited for my parents. The people there have been 100 percent great to me."
Tillman will remain on Bay County's payroll through the end of the fiscal year, June 30.
He will start at Wewahitchka the following day.
But Tillman said he would take a leave of absence in the spring to be involved in spring football, including arriving early in the afternoon to be involved in weight training.
"I want to get in there and start building a relationship with the kids and getting out in the community so they can know what I am all about before we get into spring football," Tillman said.
Tillman said he was also excited that Coach Dennis Kizziah, who has officially stepped down as football coach and athletic director but has one more year at the school, will be on hand to assist in the transition and showing him the ropes of his new job.
Norton said the new hires fit for a seamless transition as Palmer returns to a school he is familiar with; Tillman to a community in which he has deep roots.
"We are so excited because we really get to keep continuity of where the programs are going," Norton said.

There are a few bright spots in the fishing world but very few. The reason for this is the weather. We all love to hear the rain on the roof but not every day and night.
Cussing Cousin has a friend he befriended on the pier some years back and that friendship has turned out to be a weather night mare. Every time this fellow comes to the beach the weather is bad. One year he came and we had a hurricane. I think he must have bought property down here because the weather has been a mess for weeks.
The gulf looks like dark tea. But I'm being told offshore it is relatively clear about ten to fifteen feet below the surface. That makes sense; freshwater is lighter than saltwater so it floats on top. It still looks terrible on the surface.
In the bay it is the same way. It seems it would be stained all the way to the bottom. Stained or not there are reports of grouper being caught in the bay in relatively shallow water.
If you don't have any spots in the bay to grouper fish I would suggest going under the various bridges here in
The older bridges like the DuPont Bridge that have been around for a while must have holes and broken concrete under them because the grouper can and will hang you up before you can get the line tight. The seawall under the
I am almost certain the grouper under the
The only way I figure you could catch one of these fish is to pull away from the piling a few feet and make the fish come out from under the bridge to get the bait. Down in Boca Grande they fish around the sulfur docks using live sting rays for bait. When they get a bite the boat handler guns the engine and pulls the grouper away from the pilings before it can get tangled up.
Here it is a little different. In Boca Grande the water may be twenty to thirty feet deep under those pilings here it is forty feet or better under the bridges but I still think if you have a sharp crew you could drag these fish away from the pilings before they know they are hooked. Once away from the bridge piling you might have a chance.
Not everything that lives under bridges are grouper. Redfish and black drum can be caught under all of our bridges. Last year in the summer time a guide from over Point Washington way was catching redfish under
Last year the bay was full of pilchards but we also had about a third of the rain we are having this year. The Pilchards are hard to find due to all the freshwater but the choffers aren't. The choffers are starving to death obviously due to the stained water and they are easy to catch. Just fish over grass in about five feet of water and you should catch all you want.
Fishing under the bridges using live choffers is sort of like sticking your hand into a paper bag of spiders and scorpions. You never know what is going to bite you. You might get a grouper on a redfish or a black drum. All though a black drum would prefer a shrimp if she is big enough she will take a choffer. Black drum of over forty pounds aren't uncommon in our bays. I can't comment in a good way on the taste of the black drum I certainly wouldn't have the girl friend over for a candle light dinner with wine and black drum. Well, lets back up yes I would have candle light that way she wouldn't be able to see what she was eating. Sort of like eating cow horns when you could eat steak.
Like everything else if you know where to go large speckled trout are being caught all over the bay. I have seen some fine trout caught in
I missed almost the whole snapper season due to bad weather. It looks like I'm going to miss most of the grouper season for the same reason. There is a rumor going around the feds are going give fishermen back a few days this fall. I suggest you read this little document very carefully before you plan your trip this fall.
A guy called me from
If I were writing a letter to Santa Clause it would resemble this kind of thinking. I might get what I want or I might not depending on how naughty or nice I was. If it turns out we caught too many snapper we get very few days.
The best thing I can figure is to not get our hopes up to high that way if they don't give us what we wanted we won't be crushed. If they give us many days well then we can have a party.

A rare deep sea glimpse of the corals and other organisms living at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, close to the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Steve Ross, University of North Carolina Wilmington, and Sandra Brooke, Oregon Institute of Marine Biology/Marine Conservation Biology Institute, have deployed a tool on the floor of the Gulf containing live coral. When it is retrieved in a year, they will collect new data on how location conditions have affected coral growth and reproduction since the lander was deployed.

The U.S. Navy MZ-3A Airship is enroute to the Gulf Coast and expected to arrive after July 6 at Jack Edwards National Airport in Gulf Shores, Ala. The airship was requested by the U.S. Coast Guard to support Deepwater Horizon Response operations of the Unified Area Command. The airship will be used to detect oil, direct skimming vessels, and look for wildlife that may be threatened by oil. The airship began the flight to the Gulf Coast last month in Yuma, Ariz. The airship is commercial A-1-70 series blimp, manufactured by the American Blimp Corporation.. U.S. Navy file photo.

Pelicans Helpless as Oil Hits Gulf Shore
Sonja Daniel is a Birmingham resident who travels to the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama every summer to enjoy the sun and water. Sonja told ABC News she was at the Gulf Shores public beach when the fumes from the oil washing ashore were "so horrible" she became sickened by them. Sonja, like many in this area, returned to the beach -- this time Sonja brought a gas mask with her -- her way of enjoying the Gulf shores without breathing in what she calls "toxic air" from BP.

Community Projects
|Citizens in every community can do many activities to work together and reduce waste. Each of us can make a difference by reducing, reusing, and recycling materials throughout our communitiesand encouraging our neighbors to do the same.
On Earth Day, April 22, show your commitment to a clean environment by
volunteering for a cleanup effort in your community or initiating a cleanup
effort in your school, on your street, along roadsides, vacant lots, or
other local areas. Remind your friends not to litter.
Organize a recycling drive in your neighborhood or school. Collect bottles,
glass, plastic, newspapers, used CDs, or books, and take them to your
local recycling center or reuse organizations, such as charities.
Organize a community drop-off site for old computers at a neighborhood school. The computers can count as tax-deductible donations and can be refurbished by the school for use.
Share the ride and the road. When going to work or school, try carpooling,
biking, walking, or riding public transportation to reduce pollution.
(Take the initiative and organize a carpool if there is not one available
to you.)
Organize a green waste diversion and composting program for your neighborhood or school. It only takes a small amount of land space to collect organic waste into a compost pile. The compost can be bagged and sold for community or school fundraising projects.
Hold a "donation picnic" where the members of your community can have lunch, talk, and bring their old toys, clothes, books, furniture, and other items for reuse by charitable organizations.

Rating: Total score: 60%
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500M: The graphics core of the Intel GL40 and GS40 chipset features a slower clocked GMA 4500MHD (400 versus 533 MHz). Because of the slower core speed, full Blu-Ray Logo support is not given and the gaming performance is a bit worse.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Pentium Dual Core: The return of the name Pentium, though it is a Yonah core. In fact, it is a double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption.
Entry to middle class dual core CPU with 1 MB level 2 cache and no virtualization technology. Compared to the Core 2 Duo line, some power saving mechanism are deactivated.

15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.381 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.
60%: Such a bad rating is rare. There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse.

Alan Partridge
Declan Lowney, 2013
UK/France | 90 minutes
Star Steve Coogan in person for Q&A on September 28 and director Declan Lowney in person on October 7th!
Those who have hungered for the long-gestating big-screen debut of Steve Coogan's singular comic creation need wait no longer: Alpha Papa has landed and it is uproariously funny. Since 1994, the BBC's four series The Day Today, Knowing Me Knowing You, I'm Alan Partridge and Midmorning Matters have chronicled the hilarious downward trajectory of the vain and obliviously tactless Alan Partridge, from failed television talk-show host to obnoxious regional radio broadcaster, mercilessly skewering English mediocrity and media ineptitude along the way. When the staff of Radio Norwich is seized at gunpoint by down-sized DJ Pat (Colm Meaney), a siege scenario somewhere between Dog Day Afternoon and Die Hard is set in motion and Alan is obliged to risk his life by serving as the intermediary. As events escalate, our blunderingly self-aggrandizing hero is not entirely unhappy to find himself at the center of a media circus: can he save the day and, more importantly, resuscitate his career? All together now: "A-ha!" A Magnolia Pictures release.

CHIPLEY — For most of us, our job is more than just work — it's a large part of how we define ourselves, who we are.
For Sunny Hills resident Virginia Lee Sword, having a job also means having a reason to get out among people and live her life once again.
"It was about much more than just getting a job, it was about getting my self back," Sword said during an interview on Thursday at the Goodwill Industries -Big Bend Inc. Career Training Center in Chipley.
Sword had suffered a horse-riding injury that left her in a coma for two months in 1998, and a few years later she was involved in a nearly fatal car wreck that left her needing reconstructive facial surgery.
Her prolonged time spent on a respirator in the hospital left her with a whisper of a voice and chronic respiratory problems — and the traumatic ordeals left her unable to work for years.
"Lee was referred to the Job Club by her vocational rehabilitation," Employment Specialist CeCe Richards said. "When she got her, she had a bit of an attitude, but after a while, she was leading the club meetings."
"When I first came I just sat over in that corner," Sword admits, "I wasn't going to do anything. I just wanted to stay home on my couch with my dog."
The Job Club is a weekly group that teaches job seekers soft skills, such as self-presentation, dependability, motivation, team building and anger management, among other skills, Richards said.
"Clients who are in our placement program are required to come to Job Club each week so they can learn skills such as how to interview, or how to handle criticism from an employer," Richards said.
Goodwill Industries began in 1902 as a program to collect discarded items then put disadvantaged people to work repairing the items so they could support themselves and their families, said Heather Gioia, director of public relations for Goodwill Industries – Big Bend.
"For years the emphasis was on working with the disabled, and that is still a large part of what we do," Gioia said, "but we also help anyone who needs help with finding a job."
Goodwill Industries also helps people overcome obstacles such as poverty, homelessness, or educational challenges.
"We offer a systemic approach to the client's needs," Richards said. "If they come in with only an eighth grade education, we have programs to get them ready to take the GED, then we have programs for testing for GED. After that, we have classes in various computer skills, and even certification."
Richards said Goodwill Industries – Big Bend works with employers in the area, including temp services such as Manpower in Dothan, to connect employees with jobs.
"We have employers who come to us first, because they know what kind of training we are giving our employees," Richards said.
Goodwill Industries – Big Bend also has contract services for janitorial and landscaping jobs that are manned by clients, 80 percent of whom are disabled. The contract program works through RESPECT, a Florida-based, Legislatively created program that allows governmental entities to purchase commodities and services they need while providing employment opportunities to Floridians with disabilities.
For Virginia Lee Sword, what Goodwill Industries – Big Bend was able to do was more than just find her a job.
"I came out of my shell," Sword said. "At first, I was just showing up, but after a while, Miss CeCe really got to me."
A little over a year ago, Sword was hired by Sam's Club in Panama City Beach, where she currently works as a greeter. Richards says Sword is constantly being praised by her employers for her bubbly personality and work ethic.
"At first it was tough, I didn't think I could stand and work for eight hours," Sword said, "but over time I built up to it and now I can work no problem." Sword is still undergoing rehabilitation for her respiratory and vocal ailments, but she no longer sits at home all day watching TV.
"My mother encouraged me to continue to come to Job Club, and if it wasn't for Job Club and Miss CeCe, I don't think I would be where I am today," Sword said.
"Sam's Club has also been great, they've really helped me and have been very supportive of me," Sword said. "And besides, they pay me to talk to people. I love my job."

This is No. 3 in our series of the top ten local stories of 2012.
After three years of rerouting, slowed traffic and construction, the flyover ramp at State Road 85 and State Road 123 opened in late September.
Motorists say it was worth the wait.
"It's a lot better than before," said Cheryl Johnson of Crestview, who commutes from her home to Fort Walton Beach. "There were a lot of people you would see on a daily basis with that look on their face that said, 'If I could just run everybody over, I'd be OK.' Now, they aren't angry. It's made a big difference."
The $25.6 million project was funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. The work also included elevated lanes and new entrances and exits at Northwest Florida Regional Airport, and a six-lane SR 85 from General Bond Boulevard to the airport.
Construction began in August 2009 and concluded this month after workers put finishing touches on the massive project.
"We had a lot of extensive work, but the project stayed on course pretty much throughout the entire process," said Ian Satter, district spokesman for Florida Department of Transportation.
It was the largest and most complex project in the area in several years, according to the DOT.
The flyover's opening was set for August, but was delayed because of frequent rain and Hurricane Isaac. Then, its mid-September opening was delayed for several days because of a broken crane.
"You could see it and it was so pretty right there, but there I was waiting in line," Johnson said of the delays. "It was frustrating, but you have to look at it in the long run. It's good now."
The stretch of SR 85 30,000 vehicles a day traveling from Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Valparaiso, Crestview and north Okaloosa, according to the DOT.
Okaloosa County Administrator Jim Curry said effort to get a flyover went on for years.
"That area really had become a dangerous intersection," Curry said. "Several years ago there were several fatalities, so it was much needed for safety."
As a daily commuter, Johnson said each trip to work had her on edge.
"I was always looking around thinking, 'If I turn here, will someone turn in front or me or try to run me over? Will I veer off the road?' " Johnson said. "Now, it's not so nerve-wracking."
Curry said the reaction from the public has been positive and that the flyover is an asset.
"It's great not to have to sit there and try to channel through a light," he said. "In terms of our entrance into the airport, it helps facilitate traffic in and out of airport better. I think with its completion people realized it's pretty intricate."
County Airports Director Greg Donovan said the opening signifies a positive change for growing Okaloosa County.
"The project represents true progress for the community and Northwest Florida Regional Airport," Donovan said in an email. "Not only does the improved transportation infrastructure make us more accessible, it also supports continued economic development in Okaloosa County and the expanding mission of Eglin Air Force Base. The Florida Department of Transportation has done a tremendous job for the people of our community."
For Nancy Moxcey, the completion means time saved driving between Crestview and Fort Walton Beach.
"There's no stall in traffic; it just flows and that gets me home quicker," Moxcey said. "I know it was three years of construction, but that's just a fact of life that you have to wait."
Satter said the DOT will let motorists travel without interruption before any new projects begin.
"Traffic is moving much more smoothly," Satter. "I think the public is enjoying the ride."

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.
