One week before what would have been his 84th birthday, Millikin University received a surprise from the estate of the late Herschel W. Pritchett of Niantic, Ill.
"The executor of the estate delivered a check for $500,000!" says Dave Brandon, MU's director of development. The 1950 graduate had shared with Brandon years before that he had named Millikin the residual beneficiary of his estate but the probate attorney had estimated that Millikin would receive an amount that was much less. Pritchett's gift was a fitting legacy from a quiet man of integrity who liked to do good without receiving recognition, Brandon says.
"And there is another surprise - Millikin also is slated to receive somewhere in the neighborhood of $250,000 more from Pritchett's estate," Brandon says. Since Pritchett had not restricted the use of his estate proceeds, the university's board of trustees approved using them in support of the exercise science and sport campaign within "Transform MU," Millikin's $85 million capital campaign.
"Herschel was as loyal an alumnus as you would ever meet, and he would have loved to know that his accumulated capital was being reinvested into the greater Decatur community in support of a strong program like exercise science and sport," Brandon says.
Pritchett died Aug. 17, 2011. A native of Niantic, Ill., he majored in business administration at Millikin and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. After graduation, Pritchett completed two years at the Graduate School of Banking in Madison, Wis., and then entered into the family business - the State Bank of Niantic. He served 49 years at the bank, including as its president from 1980-1993. The Pritchett family had an ownership interest in the State Bank of Niantic from 1893 until 1985, when it was sold to Scott Bancshares Inc., based in Bethany, Ill.
A lifelong bachelor, Pritchett was known in his community as a kind and generous person who helped many young people appreciate the importance of saving money, Brandon says. He served several years on the Niantic-Harristown Board of Education and he and his family were such generous benefactors to Niantic that village officials named a town park and a street in honor of the Pritchetts.
Pritchett regularly attended university events, including the annual Vespers concert, cultural events and stage performances in Kirkland Fine Arts Center and home games of the Big Blue football and basketball teams. He also had the distinction of being the perennial "premiere donor" to the Millikin Fund, the university's annual effort to raise funds in support of operations.
"If it was the last week of June, you could expect to receive a letter from Herschel containing his Millikin Fund gift for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins on July 1," Brandon says, adding, "Sometimes, Herschel would deliver the gift in person, and we would have a chance to catch up on the latest Millikin news, SAE news and the like."
In recognition of Pritchett's generous estate commitment, the university will name the physical conditioning learning center in a planned new Exercise Science and Sport Pavilion in his honor. This marquee space is scheduled to occupy most of the south wing of the new facility, to be housed in the former West Towne Square Center on the corner of Oakland and Wood streets. A total of $5.7 milion is needed to acquire, renovate and equip the new facility with state-of-the-art exercise science equipment and technology.
According to Brandon, this cohesive complex with creative learning spaces will lend itself to increased performance learning opportunities by the four majors within the exercise science and sport department. Classroom instruction will be infused with technology, laboratory spaces will be designed for each major, and students will learn by doing under the auspices of a faculty member - and then "train" other Millikin students in a handson manner.
Brandon says, "Herschel made Millikin one of his charitable priorities both during his lifetime and beyond, and for that we are most grateful." ?

Cancelled Figures - Custom Action Figure Contest!
Contest Winners:
View Contest Entries
We saw the prototypes, we saved our money and we waited patiently only to hear those tragic 3 words, "It's been cancelled!" Now it's time to take matters into our own hands! The goal of this contest is to create a custom of a cancelled action figure. Things like Legendary Comic Book Heroes Series 3, Marvel Legends Series 13 Crimson Dynamo and the henchmen pack-ins (which were replaced with the Onslaught BAF pieces), Spawn Series 35: Robot Wars, etc.
-Any toy that was planned, but cancelled, before it was released to the public is fair game for this contest. Figures that have not technically been cancelled, but have remained unreleased for years, are viable entry options. For example the unreleased prototypes from the Marvel Legends Fan's choice poll are all legal entries. Articulation may be improved upon, but the overall character design must remain the same as the cancelled figure.
- The unreleased figure can't be an unsubstantiated rumor, there has to be documented proof (prototype photos, concept sketches, etc.)
-Feel free to post any other good sources in the comments section. This site has a large list of cancelled figures and lines. This site focuses on Unreleased Transformers.
-As always there are no size restrictions for this contest. You may use any sort of materials, parts, tools or techniques that you wish. Whatever gets the job done.
What are the rules of the contest?
It's hard to choose just one custom to vote on when there are tons of great entries, so Figure Realm has a unique voting system where you can vote on ALL the customs! When you click on an entry to view, there's a bar with buttons on it that lets you give the custom anywhere from 1 to 5 Stars. 1 Star means you think they could have done a better job on the custom while 5 Stars means you think they did a perfect job. The votes for each entry are added up when voting is closed and averaged-out to determine the winners. Also, don't abuse the system. Don't give your own custom 5 Stars and then give everyone else 1 Star to boost your rating. Remember, the votes are monitored.
Some points you might consider when casting your vote: Is the figure well-made? Is the paint smooth or crusty? Are there noticeable fingerprints on the sculpted parts? Is it an original custom? Is it accurate to the source-material (comics, photos, description in a book)? Are the pictures clear enough to see the details? Did the creator take the time to include a back-story or recipe? Is the custom so unbelievably awesome that you'd trade your girlfriend for it?
Craftsmanship and creativity are major factors to consider, but ultimately your vote should depend on how much you like the custom, and how well you feel it fits the contest theme.

Harry Styles says twerking is 'inappropriate' and promotes 'promiscuity'
One Direction member Harry Styles isn't a fan of the twerking dance craze that Miley Cyrus refuses to let die. While promoting the new 3D concert movie "One Direction: This is Us," Styles gets somewhat serious during a couple questions from fans, telling an interviewer how he really feels about twerking.
"I think it's quite inappropriate," he says to Moviefone. Harry adds, "Especially for the age groups it's aimed at." Styles again falls back on the dance when asked if the group worries about their young fans. "When they're twerking," he says, "I think it's, you know, promoting promiscuity."
Still, Harry knows how to have his fun, even if it involves a little bit of twerking on his part. He had no problem busting out the move during the 2013 Teen Choice Awards. Still, his wasn't quite as graphic as Miley's.

Team travels across country picking up, recycling trash
...So far, they've collected more than 125,000 pounds of trash. But, the group's mission isn't just about picking up the country's litter. Chen said they want to spread a message of zero waste.
As they move across the country, the team has discovered that much of what they collect can't be recycle because the nearby communities don't have the facilities to accept the different kinds of plastics.
"I would say that 20 percent of the things that are picked up are actually recyclable. When you get to a bigger city, you are able to recycle a lot more. You try to do what you can. But the system isn't working in our favor," Chen said.
Chen and his group are still looking for volunteers for the Midwest Litter Fest, a Sept. 24 event which will have teams helping pick up trash on a 45-mile route from Johnson County to Lawrence. It's one event that Chen hopes will inspire others to keep their roadways clean and reduce their consumption.
"We want to get people out there to see trash with us, to see what is on the side of the road. Once they see it, maybe they will get hooked and maybe make a commitment to reducing the plastic in their life," Chen said.
Details of events:
Pick Up America along with the Blue River Watershed Association and Cans for the Community is hosting the Midwest Litter Fest on Sept. 24. The event will tackle a 45-mile stretch of road from Roeland Park to Lawrence.
The organizers are looking for 20 to 25 teams of between four and 10 people to help collect litter along a two-mile section of the proposed route. Volunteers will meet a 8 a.m. at Shelter No. 12 in Shawnee Mission Park for breakfast and a safety briefing. Teams will help pick-up litter from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and return back to the shelter for a victory photo.

Trying to give something back to the Community...
Reproduced from the System Center Operations Manager blog:
One of the scenarios supported by the new Exchange 2007 MP (6.0.6623.0) is to keep the Exchange 2007 Converted MP (6.0.6461.0) installed. This allows you to keep your historical data from the old Exchange MP, while gaining the advantages of monitoring your Exchange 2007 servers with the new Management Pack. In order to do this you need to disable the monitoring from the old MP to avoid duplication of monitoring. This can be done with the attached unsealed management pack..
The management pack, Microsoft.Exchange.2007.Disable.xml, will disable all the rules and monitors in the converted Exchange 2007 MP. It uses enforced overrides to attempt to disable the monitoring even over any existing overrides you may have in your management group. Using this MP should avoid duplication of alerts, one raised by the old converted MP and one raised by the new MP and also avoid running the synthetic transactions from the old converted MP.

4 arrested on drug charges in task force sweep | Crime
Police said four Baraboo residents have been arrested on suspicion of drug charges in connection with three separate search warrants this week.
The Baraboo Police Department said the Sauk County Drug Task Force, which is made of members from multiple area law enforcement agencies including Baraboo, searched three homes in Baraboo and seized marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Baraboo Police Chief Mark Schauf said the three cases are not specifically related, but the four arrests in the last week are part of the task force's targeted approach to crack down on drugs in the county.
"(The cases) are not connected," Schauf said. "Sometimes they come in spurts where we happened to get probable cause to search. (The drug task force is) very aggressively seeking those (people) in Sauk County that utilize and sell drugs."
The first search was at a home on South Street Friday, the task force said. Thomas J. Hewitt, 21, of Baraboo was charged with delivery of marijuana (THC), and maintaining a drug trafficking place. Law enforcement found 143.2 grams of suspected marijuana, assorted items for drug use and packaging. Schauf said the marijuana seized in Hewitt's possession is worth approximately $2,500.
A second search was at an apartment on Eighth Avenue Tuesday, according to the report. The task force said 26-year-old Thomas R. Kreiman, of Baraboo, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and felony bail jumping for previous drug charges. Officers seized assorted drug use items from the home.
The task force searched a third Baraboo home Thursday on Fifth Street. Baraboo police said Ashley L. Hahn, 21, and Matthew M. Jahn, 26, both of Baraboo, were charged with possession of marijuana (THC), and possession of drug paraphernalia. The task force seized 31.4 grams of suspected marijuana and assorted drug use items. Schauf said the marijuana seized at the home was valued at approximately $400.

The engine has about 5-10 miles on it. Please let me know what you think before I rip it apart and start over.
David LeGrand
Arnold, MO
A: The first oil change on a fresh engine is always an aha moment. When you find the oil clean and the filter perfect you're totally relieved. When you find material in the filter, or on a magnetic drain plug, your heart drops and you question where it came from. Sometimes it is quite easy; other times it's like this couldn't be inside this engine!
We highly doubt you have a ballooned torque converter after 5-10 miles of driving, unless those first few miles were repeated power brake launches. We don't think your little 388 has enough torque to balloon the converter. You've listed the few sources your brass-type shavings in the oil could be from. The wristpin bushings are usually out, because if the bushing locks up, they rarely shed much debris, and the pin continues to rotate in the piston. Yes, over time it wouldn't be happy because the rod couldn't float from side to side with the pin locks retaining the wristpin. Some timing chain sets use a bronze thrust washer between the camshaft gear and the block, but the COMP Cams Magnum series timing set doesn't. Finally, if you were running a roller camshaft, you'd be using a bronze distributor gear and they have to wear in from initial start-up. They are a service item, and you need to keep an eye on them over the lift of the engine. However, you're using a standard cast camshaft and shouldn't be running one.
This brings us back to the rear main thrust bearing, because it's usually the culprit. We had a battle with our little 305 eating rear main thrust surfaces. After going through two bearings (slow learner) we finally figured out what it was doing. When the machine shop align-honed the mains, they cut the rear main cap on an angle. This caused the hone to cut a taper in the rear main that was slightly tighter in the rear of the main saddle. This, in conjunction with the cap being slightly cocked on the block, reduced the thrust clearance. We then sanded the rear main thrust surface to achieve 0.004-inch crankshaft endplay, assembled the engine, and thought we were good to go. Well, that slight taper in the rear main would allow the oil pressure to exit the front of the rear main and not lubricate the rear thrust surface of the rear main. Within about 20 dragstrip runs the endplay was about 0.020-inch and guess what we found in the oil filter?
The first thing we'd do is check your crankshaft endplay. If it's still within spec, put a fresh filter and oil in the engine. Put some more time on the engine and give it a good break-in cycle. Service the engine and check the filter for debris. Check the endplay of the crankshaft to see if the clearance has moved. Sometimes on a fresh build things need to get happy with each other. You've identified where the material could come from. Good luck with your break-in.

Q: I built a 372ci small-block with a B&M 420 Mega Blower and outfitted with two 750-cfm Edelbrock carbs. Out of all the Hot Rod and Chevy High Performance magazines I have read and I have read many I have never seen an article on tuning a 2-4 engine. What concerns me is, remember the old Torker manifold from Edelbrock for a big-block and how the carburetor was turned at an angle for fuel distribution? GM printed info on stagger jetting for this engine, but can you imagine all the mumbo jumbo it will take to get the plugs to read right? Dealing with eight carb holes! Could you please help me on this?

Guess what?
Tommy's back! Yes, that's right. Our very own TommyD is finally back on Next Door Buddies. Apparently he was a little strapped on cash from the holidays, so we took full advantage of the situation and hooked him up with one of our new studs, Tim. Now Tim doesn't normally play with guys, actually, he's only been with one other guy before Tommy, but he was eager to get sucked on....and to suck on some.
The duo start of with some nice heavy petting and feeling, which leads to undressing, which leads to some friendly cock stroking, and then that leads to Tommy pushing Tim onto the bed and eagerly sucking down Tim's hardening cock. That evolves into a 69, which after a few minutes, gets flipped around and Tim is on top, throat fucking Tommy. A very hot scene indeed with an awesome double jerkoff-cock rubbing-nut-on-eachother cum shot.
Enjoy your Next Door Buddies!

Donald Sterling, owner of the LA Clippers, is under investigation for racist remarks he allegedly made to a female friend.
The UpTake: Donald Sterling, owner of the L.A. Clippers, is under investigation by the NBA for remarks he allegedly made to a girlfriend upbraiding her for bringing an African American to a Clippers game. The guy she brought? A fellow by the name of Magic Johnson. Maybe you've heard of him.
While Washington is enjoying the surprisingly good play of the Wizards during the first round of the National Basketball Association playoffs, fans of the game as a whole are trying to get their heads around an ugly surprise that has arisen around the Los Angeles Clippers and their owner, Donald Sterling.
The NBA is investigating details of a recording, in which a man — which gossip outlet TMZ said is Sterling — pleads with a woman to not bring black people to games with her, or to post photos of herself with black people including NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, The Wall Street Journal reported.
TMZ didn't say how it obtained the audio and the league is looking into its authenticity.
For more news from the Washington Business Journal, check out Tucker Echols' work.
Sterling, 80 years old, couldn't be reached for comment, and Robert Platt, who serves as an attorney for the Clippers, didn't respond to a request for comment, according to the Journal. Andy Roeser, president of the Clippers, said in a statement Saturday the organization had heard the tape and that it wasn't clear whether the recording had been altered or not. "Mr. Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings. It is the antithesis of who he is, what he believes and how he has lived his life," Roeser said.
On Sunday, President Barack Obama, Johnson and all-time great Michael Jordan — the latter a current owner of the Charlotte Bobcats — each called the comments racist. Johnson said Sterling "shouldn't own a team anymore."

The Sens did defeat the Jets, probably putting and end to Winnipeg's chances for the playoffs.

Just The Facts From Games Played Last Night

from Elias Sports Bureau at ESPN,
• The Jets overcame a 3-0 deficit to record a 4-3 overtime victory against the Capitals in Washington. It was the fifth time in Thrashers/Jets franchise history that they won a road game in which they trailed by three goals. The four previous instances came when the team was located in Atlanta, with the most recent of those comeback wins coming against the Flyers in Philadelphia on March 12, 2011.
• Drew Stafford scored two goals in the Sabres' 4-1 win over the Rangers in New York. Stafford has only two multiple-goal games this season and they've both come at Madison Square Garden. He scored both Buffalo goals in the Sabres' 3-2 loss at MSG on Feb. 25. Stafford is only the second player in Sabres history with two multi-goal games in one season at the "World's Most Famous Arena." Rick Martin had a pair of two-goal games at the Garden for Buffalo in 1974-75.

Caps Are Stunned With 4-3 OT Loss

from Katie Carrera of the Washington Post,
The defeat wasn't only shocking because it marked the first time this season that Washington had coughed up a three-goal lead and its first loss in 23 games in which it had entered the third period with a lead. It was stunning for its timing: With only seven games remaining in the regular season, the Capitals, who are clinging to the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference by virtue of tiebreakers, need points as much as Winnipeg.
"It cost us huge two points. We get one, but we needed two," winger Alex Ovechkin said. "It's stupid play by us. We just totally stopped playing after [the Jets] score [their] first goal."
Washington (37-30-8) remained in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with 82 points, tied with Buffalo, which defeated the conference-leading New York Rangers, 4-1, on Friday. Winnipeg (35-31-8), in 10th place with 78 points and a game in hand on both the Capitals and Sabres, stayed in the hunt thanks to the pair of points it picked up in Chinatown.

Game Of The Night

Comments (0)
Only two Western Conference teams play tonight (Edmonton and Columbus) so attention is on the Eastern Conference.
from Katie Carrera of Capitals Insider,
Of the Capitals' remaining eight regular season games, two over the next five days will hold significant sway over how the future unfolds.
On Friday night Washington hosts Winnipeg, which sits five points behind in 10th place. A win over the Jets, who will have eight games remaining after the contest, would go a long way toward extinguishing the possibility of the Southeast Division foe catching the Capitals in the standings.
After the 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers, Alex Ovechkin summed up the importance of the next contest succinctly. Friday "is certainly a big game for us," he said. "Probably the biggest game of the year."
One that could be even more crucial is a matchup with the Sabres next Tuesday. Buffalo is only one point behind the Capitals and sits in ninth place, still very much alive in the hunt for the postseason. The Sabres face the New York Rangers on Friday and then Minnesota on Saturday before visiting Verizon Center that day.

NEW YORK (March 17, 2012)—Winnipeg Jets defenseman Mark Stuart has been fined $2,500, the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for his late hit on Washington Capitals forward Marcus Johansson during NHL Game #1061 in Winnipeg on Friday, March 16, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today.
The incident occurred at 8:41 of the first period. No penalty was assessed on the play.

A Playoff Atmosphere In Winnipeg

from Paul Waldie of the Globe and Mail,
"I thought that was a heck of a game," Noel said afterward. "It would have been a sad game to lose, really."
So what did he learn about his team on this night? "I learned that I like them as much as I liked them the last month and two months," he said with a smile. "I continue to like them."
He also learned something about the MTS Centre crowd, which was more boisterous than ever and generated a playoff-like atmosphere while making life as miserable as possible for the Capitals and Alex Ovechkin in particular. At one point the crowd repeatedly chanted "Crosby's Better" just as the big forward hit the ice.
"That's what you've got to like," Noel said shaking his head and laughing. "It's not the standard boo yea, boo yea. They come up with new things. They are just ruthless."
Ovechkin took the taunts in stride, joking afterward that it's all good for the game. "It's always nice when they talk about you and give you attention," he said. "I love it. It's great for the league. It's great for us. Everybody [debates] who's better and who's not. For me, it's a nice atmosphere, and I love it."

from Tarik El-Bashir of Capitals Insider,
In addition to Alex Ovechkin saying he's ready to play, the Caps also are expected to get top defenseman Mike Green back from a three-game suspension tonight against the Jets, who are approaching the contest as a "must-win."
"These are games that define your team," Winnipeg winger Evander Kane told reporters, "and we're going to see what we're made of."
With 12 games remaining, the Jets are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, four points behind the eighth-place Caps and a point behind the ninth-place Sabres. A week from today, the Caps will host the Jets at Verizon Center.
"I keep saying for the last three of four weeks it's been playoff hockey," Capitals Coach Dale Hunter said. "It's exciting for the fans and the media. The players know what's at stake here. Everybody wants to play in the big game. As a kid growing up you always scored the winning goal in the Stanley Cup final in the seventh game. So it's like one of those games."

Seth MacFarlane's 'American Dad' premiere being petitioned by Parents Television CouncilAdd to Favorites | American Dad
Seth MacFarlane might have won over the Academy of Arts and Sciences, but he still hasn't made fans of the Parents Television Council. The organization has long been out to bring MacFarlane down, and a new petition from the PTC is boycotting Sunday night's premiere of American Dad.
The PTC is asking its members to file FTC complaints the episode, which focuses on an SUV that runs on carbon, oxygen and potassium. In true MacFarlane style, the vehicle is called the "Hummie C.O.K. Guzzler" and a suggestion is made to add another carbon molecule before the potassium so it could be "C.O.C.K." The PTC finds fault with the overt reference to oral sex because "there are millions of children in the audience."
"Is the man that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has selected to host next year's Oscars telecast, following in the footsteps of such Hollywood legends as Bob Hope and Johnny Carson?" asks PTC president Tim Winter in a statement (via Entertainment Weekly). "In the past, American Dad and MacFarlane's other programs have included scenes mocking people with Down syndrome, implying father-daughter incest, a man masturbating a horse, a baby eating horse sperm, and a character eating vomit and excrement out of a baby's diaper."
The PTC has been after MacFarlane for a while now, and in 2008 he responded to the organization. It's clear that there's no lost love between the two parties.
"They're literally terrible human beings," MacFarlane said, claiming that getting a protest from them is "like getting hate mail from Hitler." "I've read their newsletter, I've visited their website, and they're just rotten to the core. For an organization that prides itself on Christian values - I mean, I'm an atheist, so what do I know? - they spend their entire day hating people."

FREE Admission!
Welcome to our web site!Hawthorne Ordnance Museum commemorates the
thousands of Military, Civil Service and Civilian Corporate Personnel that have made significant, and even the ultimate contribution
in defending the Freedom of this Great Nation.
On September 15, 1930, the Secretary of the Navy commissioned the U.S. Navy Ammunition Depot at Hawthorne, Nevada. This
did not happen by accident, but an accident caused it to happen. Four years earlier, July 1926, during the same week that
a fire destroyed the Hawthorne business district, the Navy's principal ammunition depot in Lake Denmark, NJ blew up, destroying
the town and killing over 50 people and injuring hundreds more. The Hawthorne Ordnance Museum commemorates the history
of the Ammunition Depot and it's mission in defending the freedom of our country.

The Enduring Sherlock Holmes
By Wish for Kelly
from Canada
About Me Movie Buff
Comments about this product:
Sherlock Holmes has endured for over 100 years and there's a reason for this character's longevity: great mysteries and engaging characters. Conan Doyle's master sleuth is the model for all detectives who have come after him, so these mysteries, whether in print or on film, are still relevant today. This set of DVDs, has one of the best portrayals of Holmes and Watson by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Weekend blast to Baja

Not a great picture but these are the rowers out in the sea.
We went out to dinner to a place I can't remember the name of. First off we figured out how to lock all the bikes together.
I've never worried about my stuff walking off but better safe than sorry. I figured someone would have to be pretty hard up to go after one of our bikes but then there are some pretty hard up people around.
Sean and I didn't worry about the sleeping arrangements as we are secure in our manhood. Not everyone felt the same but after spending the night with the A/C going full blast sleeping on the tile floor seemed to lose a bit of its luster.
We headed South with our goal to be Gonzaga Bay, Cocos Corner and ending at the Bay of Los Angeles.
The first part of the route was paved but with many deep dips in the roads for the vados. I figured that with the suspension travel of the KTM I didn't need to slow down but found that I was getting air when coming out.
Down a bit south of Puertocitos we stopped for a break and to tell lies about how fast we were going through the vados.
The Sea of Cortez is really quite pretty. Here you can see the old dirt road that was used before the pavement went in.
Before long we headed back south until we ran out of pavement.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a great rider off road. Sure if the surface is hard packed I'll wail along at 50mph or so but I forget that part of off road riding is that the surface isn't consistent. This was the case here as the road turned from a nice hard pack to loose sand as we came around a corner. I may have screamed a little.
Tom gave us a bit of instruction on lowering the tire pressures.
Tom was a great guy and has raced the Baja 1000 in the past. He claims to be slow and gave us all a good confidence booster the night before with regard to the ride today and the distances & conditions we could expect. I didn't remember the loose sand part of the conversation but then again I might now have been listening. All I knew was that it wasn't far to Gonzaga Bay and that there was about 15 miles between Gonzaga Bay and Cocos Corner. It was in that stretch that I learned that either Tom lies or his memory of the distances involved could use some work.
The route to Gonzaga Bay wasn't too bad and we headed over to Alphonsinos (check my spelling) for what else...fish tacos. When we walked in we got a bit of a hard time but since I speak very little Spanish I didn't know what was being said. We did notice that everyone that came in after us got served before us but when our food came it was all worth it. All we had ordered was tacos for 6 but we got two heaping plates, one of fish and one of shrimp along with plates of fixins.
After lunch our V-Strom rider decided that he really wasn't comfortable in the sand so we loaded his bike into the truck and he drove for the rest of the day.
Tom assured us that the 15 miles to Cocos was straight as an arrow and pointed down the road. It certainly looked straight and the road went as far as I could see.
I think in the next part of the ride I nearly died a number of times. I really need to work on my dirt riding.
After one particularly harrowing S-curve that involved much deep sand...
I looked ahead to see asphalt! I was so relieved! Sean and I stopped to take a break and that's when I noticed that this portion of asphalt was only about 100 yards long, with sand on the other end.
We stopped to tell lies about how great we were at riding in these conditions when some of the racers came by pre-running the course.
Since the race wasn't until later in the week and this is a public road most of the racers would slow way down when they saw us sitting on the side of the road. All except for one motorcycle rider that hit the asphalt and pulled a monster wheelie for the duration, possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Chris took this video while he was waiting for Me and Sean to show up.

During childhood and teen years, new bone grows faster
than existing bone is absorbed by the body. After age 30, this process begins
to reverse. As a natural part of aging, bone dissolves and is absorbed faster
than new bone is made, and bones become thinner. You are more likely to have
osteoporosis if you did not reach your ideal bone
thickness (bone mineral density) during your childhood and
teenage years.
In women, bone loss increases around
menopause, when ovaries produce less
estrogen, a hormone that protects against bone loss.
Younger women, especially in their 30s and 40s, are at lower risk for
osteoporosis than older women. But your risk increases risk if you:

Submission from Lorne Salter received on September 14, 2001 via e-mail
Subject: Consultation PaperTo John McCalllum MP, my member I voted for, Industry Canada, the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Intellectual Property Policy Directorate and other concerned agencies:
I write to express my grave concern regarding the extreme intellectual property provisions of the Consultation Paper on Digital Copyright Issues (CPCDI). These measures, based on the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), give far too much power to publishers, at the expense of indivdiuals' rights. The DMCA itself is already under legal challenge in the US, has gravely chilled scientists' and computer security researchers' freedom of expression around the world for fear of being prosecuted in the US, and resulted in the arrest of a Russian programmer. The CPDCI provisions, which serve no one but (largely American) corporate copyright interests, are just as overbroad as those of the DMCA. These provisions would amend the Canadian Copyright Act to ban, with few or no exceptions, software and other tools that allow copy prevention technologies to be bypassed. This would violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantee of freedom of speech, and similar guarantees in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, since such tools are necessary to exercise lawful uses, including fair dealing, reverse engineering, computer security research and many others. I urge you to remove these controversial and anti-freedom provisions from the CPDCI language. The DMCA is already an international debacle. Its flaws should not be imported and forced on Canadians.
(The above is the accurate text of a suggested letter by the terrific folks at the Electronic Freedom Foundation - You should check out their web site including brilliant analyses by Stanford Law Profesor Lawrence Lessig. I strongly believe in all the above and my own comments below.)
We must not expand the very limited historical legitimate copyright law into a vice constraining for scholars and all citizens and an unprecedented stranglehold by publishing and media conglomerates. For example, the law seeks to limit one's right to read an electronic book such that one could be charged again to read it twice, and to bill the taxpayers for enforcing such a radical extension of the traditional relationship of publisher and public. Hollywood lawyers are using legitimate concerns about copyright in the electronic age to change all the historical copyright rules in favour of their clients, the movie, record and entertainment industry against the public good, and that is why there has been so much lobbying and money around this isue. They are salivating at the prospect, hoping that we will swallow these radical proposals, I believe. Please reject the clauses, and EXTEND the response deadline by 6 months to allow public digestion of these complex issues.
Thank you for your generous consideration.

If I give you a piece of mind, you've been disorderly disturbed
That's my word,
from Joey BADA$$ – 95 Til Infinity Lyrics on Genius
If he gave you a piece of his thoughts , they would mentally fuck you up . That's Joey's word and his Word is Bond.
This is a clever play on mental health, because while 'piece of mind' is a figurative saying, when Joey says his mind will mess up up your mind, the phrase adopts a more literal shade.
Also note the consonance used at the end of this line and the one before it, adding to Joey's flow.
A disorderly disturbance is also an irregular one, so the affect Joey's thoughts and experiences would have on you are also abnormal.

Pretty as the Picture
By Missy Terrell
from Lilburn, GA
My unit arrived with 2 left doors instead of one right and left. CustomerService was excellent; and I received a right door during the time periodspecified by the Customer Service Representative. Since it is September and temperatures are in the mid to high 80's, I cannot evaluate the fireplace heating capability; therefore, I will rate the product with 4 stars. The console is well built, solid wood, and very attractive. It's a quality piece of furniture. I plan to use the fireplace as an alternative heat source in my sunroom.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Porsha Stewart Reveals Kordell's Thoughts on Real Housewives of Atlanta – Exclusive
Wetpaint Entertainment spoke with Porsha Stewart exclusively several months ago about her stint on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and even though our chat occured way before P's current divorce drama, she still had some telling things to say regarding Kordell's opinion of RHoA.
When we asked her what her then-husband thought of the show, she revealed, "Kordell laughs at the show, he thinks this it is hilarious. Even in the fight in Anguilla he was like, 'Babe don't take this so seriously! It's funny, this is entertainment.' He's laughing about it."
Porsha was of course referencing her "Gone With the Wind Fabulous" blowout with Kenya Moore during the cast trip to Anguilla, and while Kordell may have been laughing about it then, he's clearly had a change of heart since.
"He's not that invested to where it's messing with him emotionally or even us emotionally," Porsha continued.
Since Porsha was reportedly "blindsided" by Kordell's decision to divorce, we totally buy that she didn't see the effect the show was having on the duo's relationship, but do you think she missed some signs that themarriage was in trouble? Share your thoughts below!

What I'm doing: Using a detailed modeling approach, I provide quantitative analysis for a broad range of problems within the renewable energy industry. This includes valuing potential wind, solar and other renewable energy projects as well as using analytics to assess other opportunities.
Ready through Rady: During my internship, I have been amazed to discover the complexity of the electricity market, which is driven by a supply and demand curve straight out of our economics class. The lessons learned during Assistant Professors Lauga and Sadoff's classes have served me well in understanding the relationships between all the players in the market. As for the modeling, my experience gained from Professor Roemer's Quantitative Analysis class has been invaluable and is keeping my head above water!.

Texters finish off SMB, clinch Philippine Cup
Members of the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters celebrate after winning the PBA Philippine Cup. GMANews.TV
Talk 'N Text's vaunted offense couldn't have clicked at a better rtime.
Playing like a well-oiled machine and sustaining their brilliance on the offensive end all-game long, the Tropang Texters finally finished off the San Miguel Beermen, 95-82, to regain the PBA Philippine Cup title before an animated crowd of 15,756 at the Araneta Coliseum Friday night.
Jimmy Alapag anchored the Tropang Texters' big scoring run in the final period of Game 6 to quash the last of several furious comebacks by the Beermen and wrap up the best-of-seven series, 4-2.
Alapag, named co-Finals MVP by the PBA Press Corps together with Jason Castro, finished with a double-double of 15 points and 10 assists, just a notch behind the 17 of Ryan Reyes, who showed the way for the team.
Ali Peek also had 15 points, Harvey Carey 13, Ranideld De Ocampo 12, while Kelly Williams came through with a brilliant all-around game of 10 points, eight rebounds and four steals in a balanced scoring parade for the Tropang Texters.
The championship is the third for the Talk 'N Text franchise since acquiring the team in 1996, and the sixth overall for coach Chot Reyes, who now joins Tommy Manotoc at fifth place in the all-time winners' list.

Reyes also steered Talk 'N Text to the 2008-09 All-Filipino championship during his first season with the telecommunication franchise.
As the celebration began, Reyes went up to where team owner Manny V. Pangilinan was seated behind the team bench to personally congratulate him.
"This series is for Allan Reyes," said the Talk 'N Text coach, obviously referring to the late brother of point guard Ryan Reyes, who died in a vehicular accident in the U.S. during the heat of the best-of-seven title series.
Ryan missed Game 3 of the Finals to attend his brother's burial.
"But we'd also like to congratulate San Miguel for giving us a good fight," said the Tropang Texters mentor.
The championship also erased the stigma of the team's disappointing season a year ago, one which saw the Tropang Texters fail to win a title after getting eliminated twice in the playoffs despite being overwhelming favorites – including the walkout-marred best-of-five quarterfinals series with Ginebra.
For the Beermen, there would be no championship for coach Ato Agustin right on his rookie season, no championship for Jay Washington in his first Finals encounter against the team that traded him three years ago, and no additional championship for veteran Olsen Racela right on his final playing year after 18 seasons in the league.
Only Washington carried the fight for San Miguel, leading the team with 29 points and 18 rebounds, as the rest of the Beermen failed to give support to their main man.
Dondon Hontiveros had 11 points and Arwind Santos 10, but only two of those came in the first three quarters of the deciding game.
This series is for Allan Reyes. But we also like to congratulate San Miguel for giving us a good fight.
The Beermen trailed by as many as 14 in the first half, but battled their way back and even grabbed the lead at 57-55 on two free throws by Washington with 6:52 to play in the third period.
But the Tropang Texters went on a 14-5 tear to take a 69-62 lead with them entering the finals quarter.
San Miguel last closed in at 76-71 on a three-pointer by Washington, but Alapag led the Texters on a 9-0 spurt to pull away again at 85-71. – JVP, KY, GMANews.TV
Talk 'N Text 95 - Reyes 17, Alapag 15, Peek 15, Carey 13, De Ocampo 12, Williams 10, Castro 7, Fonacier 6, Dillinger 0, Aban 0.
San Miguel Beer - Washington 29, Hontiveros 11, Santos 10, Ildefonso 10, Miranda 9, Cabagnot 9, Salvacion 2, Racela 1, Pena 1, Yeo 0, Artadi 0, Pennisi 0.
Quarter scores: 32-22, 51-47, 69-62, 95-82.

Hoosier Survey shows support for abortion rightsDecember 11th, 2012 at 5:33 pm by Jim Shella under Jim Shella's Political Blog
A majority of Indiana taxpayers support keeping abortion legal. It's one of the eye-catching findings in a new WISH-TV Ball State Hoosier Survey. It finds that 52% of Indiana taxpayers want abortion kept legal in most or all cases. Just 41% think abortion should be illegal in most or all cases.
Abortion battles are commonplace in the General Assembly. Now, with Republican super majorities in the both the House and Senate Betty Cochrum, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of Indiana, is on the defensive. When asked if she expects that the Indiana General Assembly will see legislation to further restrict abortion she says, "We see that every year."
Yet the Hoosier Survey also shows even greater support for abortion in certain situations. In the case of rape or incest 75% think it should remain legal. That number jumps to 83% when a woman's life is endangered. If her health is endangered 76% want abortion to be legal. That support comes from all demographic groups. "So even a majority of Republicans support those exceptions that allow for abortion," says Ball State political scientist Joe Losco.
Cochrum says the poll numbers should encourage legislators to leave the abortion law alone. "I absolutely see them as an argument," she says, "and I hope that our lawmakers will take a look at them."
But pro-life forces are encouraged by the election in November of a large number of candidates who oppose abortion. Mike Fichter, the President of Indiana Right-to-Life endorsed Richard Mourdock and believes the poll results are a reflection of the campaign run against the losing Senate candidate. "The super majorities now in the Senate and the House know very clearly the strength of the pro-life position," says Fichter, "and we will certainly expect to see legislation move forward that will address the abortion issue."
The Hoosier Survey also finds that opinions here are in line with those across the country. A similar national poll shows that the support for keeping abortion legal in most or all cases is just one point higher at 53%. The number of those who want abortion to be illegal in most or all cases is an identical 41%.

interviewBy Peter Efande
Anne Nsang, journalist UN Information Officer, Cameroon.
How important is March 8 to you as a woman, and to Cameroonian women in particular ?
For me it is a special day because the United Nations asked the whole world to focus on me as a woman and on women in general. It is a special day set aside for us to be considered as important partners in the development process. It is also a day for women to reflect on how far they've evolved on women's empowerment. Cameroonian women can boast and beat their chests and say their efforts have not been in vain. The march past that concludes it all, symbolizes the joy and pride of being a woman despite some discrimination. It is like a birthday in which we evaluate our lives, ponder on what we've so far achieved and make sure the future is bright.
Are there certain feminine chores that are no longer fulfilled by women because of the notion of women's emancipation ?
I do not belong to that school of thought where women refuse to accomplish certain feminine prerogatives because of the much-heralded talk of gender equality and women's empowerment. Women, according to the United Nations, should assume their role as partners in development. My husband is the head of the family, and l don't want to advice women to be recalcitrant towards their husbands. However, we must close that gender gap, because women are capable of handling any function just as men. It is a matter of women organising their time so that they don't abandon their household chores. We still have that intrinsic role to play in the society. Unfortunately some women, call them feminists, have an extremist understanding of the concept of women's emancipation and gender equality.
As an elite Cameroonian woman, what have women of your professional bracket done for the emancipation and empowerment of the rural woman?
I'm happy that I've been able to influence rural women through my program "Women and Development". We have sensitised women who have never been to school on issues such as women's rights on inheritance, widowhood, marriage, matrimonial violence, etc. We also sensitised these women on ways of selling their farm products to the urban areas. This is one of the ways that they can get themselves empowered. When we went to Small Babanki in the North West Province, we found that the women had an idea of creating a health centre. The idea also spiralled into more associations for economic empowerment and, a little hut was transformed into a health centre. We have so many laudable examples in many places we've gone to. I think we've done a lot especially in helping rural women know their rights.
From March 8, 2004 to March 8, 2005, what has changed in the status of the Cameroonian woman?
Globally, a lot has been achieved in terms of economic empowerement. But the pace is slow and it varies from country to country. In Cameroon, women are aware that they have to empower themselves and President Paul Biya often mentions that we can't achieve anything without the participation of women. In Cameroon, we are seeing many women in decision-making areas. In the last cabinet shake-up, women are actively occupying key positions as Secretaries of State which are vital to decision-making. But we still need more women in decision-making areas. The media has to play a more positive role, a sort of watchdog to help government, the civil society, and NGOs to achieve gender equality. Institutionally, there are a lot of women in major institutions especially at the United Nations were female candidates are given priority in job vacancies. Kofi Annan's deputy is a woman.

The Target Toys Book has arrived! It is officially time to get into the holiday spirit. The day we received the toy book, the kids were entertained for hours looking through the book over and over again. I am not exaggerating. It was free entertainment and helped me a lot with the planning of their gifts. This year is really the first year that my kids are getting old enough to actually tell me what they want. My 4 year old says he wants about everything but my 3 year old is a lot more thoughtful and methodical about what he tells me he wants.
My 3 year old son wants the Imaginext Eagle Talon Castle and a Hot Wheels Wall Tracks. My 4 year old son wants a Thomas the Train set with bridges, Nerf gun, Hexbugs, and a few other things. I named the favorites. My 1 year old daughter will be getting the Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace. There are a lot of fun toys in the Target Toys Book.
My favorite thing about the Target Toys Book is all the coupons! Man, I will be using a bunch of them. These all expire on 11/21/12. I will be using almost all of them because my kids want something from a lot of these brands. Once question I am curious about is whether the Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace, also falls under the Disney item coupon. Besides the specific toy coupons below, there is a $5 off toy purchase of $50 or more good from 10/30/12-11/21/12 and ANOTHER one good from 11/27/12- 12/24/12.
