Notre Dame loses top WR recruit, Torii Hunter Jr., to injury
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and head coach Brian Kelly received some bad news this week from the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Torii Hunter Jr., arguably their top wide receiver recruit, broke his left leg during a 1-on-1 drill in practice. Hunter Jr., one of the top receivers in the nation, could miss up to a year after recovery and rehabilitation. At that point, if he could not participate, Hunter Jr. would receive a redshirt and have four years of eligibility left.
This devastating injury will not hurt the Fighting Irish in the upcoming year at the wide receiver position. With freshman Davonte Neal waiting in the wings they will have no trouble improving their passing game in the years to come. Neal, a 5-foot-11, 182 pound speedster, only saw limited action this year for the championship bound Irish. However, with T.J. Jones and Robby Toma graduating this year, there will be competition during spring practice for playing time. Redshirt freshman DaVaris Daniels, expected to improve and become a number one receiver for the Irish, hauled in 25 balls for 375 yards in his first collegiate season.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound receiver out of Prosper High School in Texas will fit perfectly into Brian Kelly's receiving corps for the next four years with his adequate speed (4.5 40-yard dash), good hands, and solid routes. Hunter Jr. was not expected to make an immediate impact on offense during the 2013 season, with the plethora of talented receivers already on the roster, but he could have been an asset on special teams for the Fighting Irish.

Oil sludge closes beach at Repulse Bay
Cheung Chi-fai
Most Popular
Officials are trying to track the source of an oil slick that left sludge on Repulse Bay beach yesterday.
The Marine Department says preliminary investigations show the oil did not originate from land, but so far officers have drawn a blank. However, they say it is not connected to an oil spill off Tuen Mun on Sunday.
The beach on Hong Kong Island, which is popular with both locals and tourists, was closed for a clean-up by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
It was not known last night if it would be reopened today.
The department was alerted at about 9am yesterday to a large patch of oil that was floating off Round Island, which is about two kilometres south of the beach.
The oil - which marine officials described as a 'rainbow-coloured oil sheen' - then gradually began drifting towards Repulse Bay. It started to hit the shoreline at about 12.40pm.
A thick layer of oil was also spotted in a corner of the sea just off the Kwun Yam shrine on the beach.
A spokesman for the Marine Department said the size of the oil patch had shrunk to 100 metres by 50 metres by the time it reached the beach.
'We deployed a contractor to use a water jet to disperse the oil,' he said, adding that no chemicals were used to dissolve the oil.
He said it was uncertain what type of oil it was but it was likely to be fuel oil.
Samples were collected to determine the properties of the oil.
He said even with a good analysis of the oil, the chance of locating the source was slim.
The spokesman said the latest incident did not have anything to do with the oil spill in Tuen Mun, which also forced the closure of Cafeteria New Beach and Golden Beach on Sunday.
The Environmental Protection Department said their officers had established that the spill at Repulse Bay did not originate from land.

Reviews for Blueberry Biscuit Cobbler
Sort By :
"Great summer dessert while berries are in season."
"I haven't tried this yet,but I will.I am going to use pie crust ilo the topping. The rest looks easy as blackberry cobbler.I'll let you all know how the pie crust works ."
"I was excited to see this recipe as my diabetic husband LOVES blueberries. However, I will not be making it. The carb count is more than half of what he is allowed for a meal! Also, FYI, 45 grams of carbs is 3 starches not 2. The ratio is 15 grams of carb is equal to 1 starch. This recipe would be out of range for most diabetics."
"Delicious!! Enjoyed every bite..will definitely make this again!!"
"Simply delicious. I found the biscuit topping the perfect texture, not thin. The blueberry mixture was also the perfect thickness for a cobbler. Will be making again."

Confessions of a Tax Collector: One Man's Tour of Duty Inside the IRS (P.S.)by Richard Yancey
Chapter One
For most of the past thirteen years, I have used a different name, chosen by me and approved by our government, to perform the task appointed to me by the people of the United States. This name, my professional name, I will not tell you.
I am a foot soldier in the most feared, hated, and maligned agency in the federal government.
I work for the Treasury. I execute Title 26 of the United States Code, for the Internal Revenue Service — or the Service, as we in the trenches call it.
I collect taxes, but don't call me a tax collector. Nobody wants to be a tax collector. Call me what the Service calls me. Call me a revenue officer.
And hear my confession.
November 1990
"Okay, Rick, let's start. Why do you want to be a revenue officer?"
I was sitting in a small conference room in Tampa, across the table from Jim Neyland, chief of the Tampa branch of the Jacksonville District of the Internal Revenue Service. It was after-hours. His tie was loose around his neck and his shirtsleeves rolled to his elbows. He was about fifty, with thinning salt-and-pepper hair and a bushy black mustache. I had just turned twenty-eight, and was wearing a ten-year-old suit with a ten-day-old dark blue tie. The interview had been scheduled to begin an hour earlier, but I had waited in the reception area of the branch office, while his secretary fussed at her desk and his loud voice boomed throughout the office as he made dinner arrangements on the phone. There were no magazines to read, no television to stare blankly at while I waited. In one corner sat a dusty plastic palm tree. The carpeting was dark blue. The divider separating the secretary's workstation from the waiting area was white. The ceiling was white. On the white wall directly opposite me were two large framed photographs, one of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and another of the space shuttle Challenger. The bridge had collapsed into Tampa Bay in 1980, killing thirty-five people. Challenger had exploded in 1986, seconds after the photograph was taken.
Jim Neyland did not want Chinese. He wanted barbecue. He had been thinking about it all day, and his heart was set on barbecue. He hated Chinese; he was always hungry again thirty minutes later. He wanted some barbecue pork and some beans and corn on the cob and some coleslaw and he didn't give a good goddamn what everybody else wanted. No, not Italian, either. There would be no compromise where he was concerned. It was barbecue or nothing. The secretary flashed an apologetic smile in my direction and buzzed him again. "Mr. Yancey is here for his interview." He apparently didn't hear her. I examined my new tie for any picks, stains, or hitherto unnoticed blotches. I had to urinate, but knew the moment I bolted for the bathroom, Jim Neyland would turn the corner from the inner recesses of his office, looking for me. I stared at the picture of Challenger. Like most Americans, I could remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news. How long ago that seemed — a lifetime or two. And now I was here, four months after answering an ad in the newspaper, more on a whim than design. My destination, my mission, was not as clearly defined as Challenger's, but in its own way was no less perilous.
"I need the job," I answered. I had decided not to repeat the preface I had used in my second interview, which had taken place two weeks prior to this one: Well, I never dreamed of being a tax collector when I grew up. This had not gone over well with one of my interrogators. "And it sounds like very interesting work."
"Well, you'll never be bored," Jim Neyland said. He picked up a folder and opened it. I could see my name printed on its face in large black letters: Yancey, John Richard. Inside were my application and notes from the first two interviews. I folded my hands in my lap, rubbing the tips of my thumbs against my slick palms. There was a motel-room quality print of a beach scene on the wall behind Jim Neyland, with a lone seagull perched on a picket fence, staring out over the dark ocean.
"So, you went to law school." His hair was thinning at the crown, a perfectly round bald spot about the size of a golf ball. Curly black hair carpeted his forearms.
"For a year."
"What happened?"
"I left."
"You dropped out?"
"I dropped out."
"Why did you drop out?"
"I decided it wasn't for me."
"It took you a year to figure that out?"
"I was kind of trying to live up to someone else's expectations." My father was a lawyer, as was my brother.
"Need a job to pay off the loans?" His tone was friendly; he seemed genuinely interested.
"Among other things."
He turned a page. "Boy, you've had quite a few jobs over the years."
"Well, the application said list everything for the past ten years." I stopped. I sounded defensive.
He ignored me. "Typesetter. Drama teacher. English professor...your degree is in English?"
"That's right."
"What the hell did you think you were going to do with that?" The question was rhetorical. He continued, "Dramaturge...what the hell is a dramaturge?"
"Someone who analyzes drama."
"They pay you to analyze that?"
"Not much."
"Playwright. Convenience store manager. Ranch hand. Ranch hand?"
"Sort of the family business."
"Get along lil' doggies!"
I managed to laugh.
"Anything you haven't done?"
"Singing telegrams."
"Anything you won't do?"
"Singing telegrams."
"What's your deal, Rick, besides comedy? I mean, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
He slapped the file closed and leaned back in his chair, cupping the back of his head with both hands, fingers laced ...

That was the case in Sochi, where SI used two robotic units. One was in Adler Arena for Speed Skating, mounted on the lighting truss hanging from the ceiling above the track. Since there was no catwalk over the track, that was the only way to get these unique perspectives. The second was in Fisht Stadium for both Opening and Closing Ceremonies, again hanging from a lighting truss above the audience. The robotic camera rig allows us to pan, tilt, zoom, focus, trigger, and transmit images.This is all controlled from our office in the MPC via Vlan.

Australian Scholars, Beset With Plagiarism, Inaugurate New Journal on Academic Integrity
The International Journal for Educational Integrity, a freely accessible online publication that made its debut last week, will cover matters of academic rectitude, including soft marking, fraud, and other forms of academic dishonesty, as well as plagiarism.
Billed as the first of its kind, the periodical is to be published twice a year. Most of the articles in the new issue examine the theme of plagiarism in Australia, particularly in relation to the country's historically high number of international students among whom English is not a first language.
The publication was unveiled at a conference on the same subject that was held at the country's University of Newcastle, which itself was recently found by a government investigation to have covered up a rash of plagiarism for fear of losing a lucrative overseas program (The Chronicle, October 14).

27 year old woman | Goffstown, NH, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 50 miles
Based on a true story
I'm Emily. I live in Goffstown. I have an apartment with a spare room that's reserved solely for slipping around on the hardwood floor with brand new socks. I work all over the place. Right now I'm in Texas. My job is to rove around the country making cell towers and WiFi systems work for Cisco and Ericsson. It's a little glamorous, a little tedious, and very isolating. Hoping to snag a local job soon, and settle down in NH again long term. I have a three year old girl. She's pretty cool. With my schedule, I'm on the road a week or two at a time, then get a couple weeks to a month at home with her. When I'm on the road, she goes to daycare, stays with her Nana, and sees her dad twice a week. She does well when I travel. I'm going to school online for a Bachelor's then Master's in IT. I really want to work for Tesla Motors at some point, but I figure I'll wind up staying in RF. I don't have a ton of time to focus on dating, but I figured I'd try this out and see how it goes. Outside of work, I'm a low energy person. I don't love hiking. I'll do it, but I'm not going to drag you out of bed at ungodly hours to climb up and down a rock. I've lost far too much of my life to Netflix. The best foods are Indian, Thai, and sushi. I love Star Trek, Adventure Time, and Dr Who. I'm not much of a drinker, but I like to go out once in a while and rock some terrible drunken karaoke. I usually hum to myself without realizing it. My favorite place is San Francisco. I "successfully" quit smoking about twice a month. I want to be a part time model, even though I'll probably have to keep my normal job. My blood type is coffee.
I have Fish

On July 10th, Vancouver, Canada's Propaganda Coffee will become a tavern very much like one of those that can be found at the old part of any Basque town or village for a day. Chef Jefferson Álvarez will use Txotx Basque Imports' products to bring "a taste from the Basque Country" to the city. "My duty as a chef is to educate people in different kinds of foods," he told EuskalKultura.com. "We're very excited about this event," added Kelly Chomat, CEO of Txotx Basque Imports.
The "Excellence in Basque Studies" will be held once again as part of the summer offerings by the Etxepare Basque Institute. Its goal is to train future Basque teachers that will take part in the Basque language and culture lectureships supported by the Institute at some 30 universities around the world. It will be held July 8-10 in Donostia and Etxepare has now announced that it has some scholarships available to those interested in taking part.
During his tour through Argentina, and with the support of the Zazpirak Bat Basque club in Rosario, Bizkaian musician, Pascual Barturen, gave concerts in four cities. At each destination, the local Basque community had the opportunity to organize presentations that pleased not only their members, but also the rest of music lovers who attended them.
It's the third time Ramon Zugazaga, president of Elko Indar, will take his young players to the Basque Country, to participate in the prestigious Donosti Cup. This year, 42 youngsters, aged 11-18, will compete against other soccer clubs from all over the world, in three different levels. "I don't know if we'll be able to win but I'm pretty sure they will all do a good job," Zugazaga told EuskalKultura.com. Elko is a city in Nevada with a long Basque tradition. Their Basque Festival, the biggest one in the state, will be next week, coinciding with the soccer team's visit to the Basque Country.
The Chivilcoy Basque club let us know about their latest news, including information about a bilingual book project and an invitation to a literary contest, "Tree of Gernika." They also let us know about their new Facebook address for anyone wishing to contact them via this social media.
The Asociación Vasco-Navarra de Beneficencia, Cuba's Basque club will celebrate its 138th anniversary of its foundation on July 12th with festivities at the Palacio de la Rumba in Havana. William A. Douglass, from the Center for Basque Studies in Reno, will be named an honorary member at the event. Additionally, there will be music, improvisers, and a popular meal for members and friends.
He just got back from Cuba, Mexico and the US, and after traveling to Madrid and Barcelona,he will soon leave for Argentina. Jose Francisco "Kinku" Zinkunegi is the coordinator of HABE's Euskara Munduan Program that sponsors Basque language classes worldwide at the Basque club level.
Even if the motive of the trip was to participate in the ICANN conference, the director of the PuntuEus Foundation, Josu Waliño Pizarro, took advantage of his stay in Buenos Aires to meet with various representatives from the Argentinean Basque community. In an interview with EuskalKultura.com, he stressed the importance of spreading the use of the domain .eus "also in the Diaspora."
The book Amerikanuak. Basques in the New World, by Jon Bilbao and William Douglass, is forty years old. It is a complete study of the history of the Basques outside the Basque Country, and has had great influence in the areas of Diaspora studies. This is why a group of universities, including the Center for Basque Studies in Reno, has launched "1975 – the Year of Amerikanuak – 2015. Basque Studies in a Global World," with an extensive series of talks and activities.
The exhibit is comprised of 19 panels through which one can explore the past and present of the language of the Basques, above all its presence in Argentina starting with the Argentinan Euskaraz program. The Delegation of Euskadi invites Basque clubs to organize exhibits outside the purview of their communities to reach a larger and more varied audience.

The Great Murals of Baja California
The Great Murals of Baja California; the explorer, author and photographer Harry W. Crosby discovers and documents the region's rock art and prehistoric paintings of humans, animals and symbols.
In the sierras of central Baja California, hidden in most forbidding terrain, thousands of brilliant paintings survive in caves and shelters. Here a prehistoric people created giant images, heroic assemblages of men and animals. The Painters' time passed, they laid down their brushes and disappeared, their art was lost to sight, and their existence was reduced to the breath of a legend.
This legend was given new life by one person in particular; the explorer, author and photographer Harry W. Crosby. Expeditions on horse-back in the 1960's and 1970's with local guides led to his publication The Cave Paintings of Baja California - Discovering the Great Murals of an Unknown People, Sunbelt Publications, 1997. And it is this book that led to our section on the rock art of Baja California.
The Great Mural Rock Art of Baja California consists of prehistoric paintings of humans and other animals, often larger than life-size, on the walls and ceilings of natural rock shelters. They are protected under UNESCO World Heritage status.
The rock art may be either monochrome or polychrome. Red and black were the colors most frequently used, but white, pink, orange, and green also occur.
The most common figures are humans and deer, but a variety of other animals, such as rabbits, bighorn sheep, birds, fish, and snakes are also represented. The human images often include stylized headdresses. Many of the images are overlain with depictions of projectiles, presumably arrows or atlatl darts.
The images are essentially silhouettes, without representational details inside their outlines. Instead, geometrical patterns such as stripes or bands of different colors are used. Overpainting is very common.
And the artists? The Great Murals lie within the ethnohistoric territory of the Cochim, and they have been commonly linked with the late prehistoric Comond Complex. Archaeological research is adding to the full story behind the rock art; recent radiocarbon studies, both on materials recovered from archaeological deposits in the rock shelters and on materials in the paintings themselves, have suggested that the Great Murals may be 7,500 years old. As with all rock art, the purpose remains a matter of speculation; hunting magic, warfare, shamanic trace, or perhaps ancestor veneration.

Facilities and Administrative (F&A) Rates are the mechanisms used to reimburse the University for the infrastructure support costs, i.e. F&A costs, associated with sponsored research and other sponsored agreements. F&A rates are essentially overhead rates, calculated as a percentage of the direct costs of sponsored projects. These are actual costs to the university and directly support sponsored projects being performed by the University of Miami. Sometimes F&A rates are referred to as indirect cost rates.
For all activities performed in facilities not owned by the institution and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s) the off campus rate applies. If more than 50% of a project is performed off-campus, the off-campus rate will apply to the entire project. You must identify whether the project is: Research, Instruction, or Other Sponsored Activity and choose the rate for the associated campus. Our F & A Rate Agreement contains the negotiated rate, which is summarized below.
Note: facilities & administrative (F & A) costs were formerly known as indirect costs.
The University F&A rate for all industry-supported (directly or via flow-through mechanism) clinical trials is 29%, regardless of campus. Clinical Trial is defined as a research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioral outcomes. Industry sponsored activities which are not clinical trials follow the negotiated research rates listed by campus.

Author has written 6 stories for Soul Eater, and Adventure Time with Finn and Jake.
Hi Hello and ECT.
I'm no one special
I'm mainly the reader type I don't think I'll even write all that much maybe a story here or there probably really short...
...Really my writing goes on my whims so its random and rarely finished to even post...
Anyway, I will be here to say hi, hello, and state my main trait (that I'm WEIRD)
Being a weirdo, I'm given a lot of room on what can be considered MY NORMAL.
So really pinning down my personality seems like a fools errand, but here ya go!
I'm: silly, funny(i mean i act funny not am), happy go lucky(If I'm hyper), depressing(If i feel like it...), Evil(muahahaha), a music lover(music is a way of life not a hobby), religious (yay god!), annoying (as a young person I must be), random(aren't I), dedicated(only to thing I care about) , smart(at least Ihope so), stupid(yes I'm both), an anime/manga addict(who isn't nowadays), video gamer(yay playstation Wii and XBox), internet obsessed(again who isn't at least alittle), friendly(most of the time...), complicated(I'm both smart and stupid how can I not be) , insane( point out my earlier "muahahahah"), an environmentalist(Yay TREES!), sentimental,(I can't help this one TvT) mean,(enough said) considerate(I try to be), inconsiderate(kinda goes hand in hand with the "try to be"), caring(WAAA!! I HOPE NO ONE IS CONFUSED), usually sleep deprived(This was written around 1am), violent(I can destroy a window with my barehands), smiley( yes I said smiley got a problem with it), cutesy loving (KAWAII ), dark(SHADOWS GIVE TRUE LIGHT *w*), average (can I really say this now...), and let's not forget WEIRD!!! please dont mind all the subtext its all due to me being weird...
I'm also a hopeless romantic so most of the stories I write will probably be about romance, or couples, or something...
Anyway, I'm here to READ, FANDOM, AUTHOR STALK, & basically LOVE fanfiction.net
(and for once its a fandom I like for eveything but the romance)
HI HI HI all who have "Bared with me" I'm back!!! I've been reading A LOT of fanfiction, fictionpress, tumblr, and more since I went on hiatus. And well to put it lamely I've been inspired to finish, add and go back into my fanfiction stuff. YAY!!!
So HiHelloIWeird is back!!!
(Though I will probably be random at best concerning attendance)
Well Atode sanshō shite kudasai!
Translation: See you later!

Green norms violated at Niyamgiri Hills: Environment Min team
New Delhi: In a fresh jolt to mining
multinational Vedanta Resources, a Union Environment Ministry
team has found violations of green norms at its bauxite
project at Niyamgiri hills in Kalahandi district of Orissa.
The three-member team which was asked to verify fresh
allegations of violations of the terms of the `in-principle`
approval submitted its report today to Environment Minister
Jairam Ramesh.
"I would not subscribe to the high-profile campaign in
the case by various groups. But I am looking at the case on
merit basis.
But I can say that they have violated Forest Rights
Act, without taking consideration of the tribal rights.
Another area where my ministry had problem was that it
had started construction work in land that belonged to the
revenue department, though the project had not received
clearance," said Ramesh on the sidelines of a function here.
The minister added that he had been receiving a large
number of representations with regard to bauxite mining by
Orissa Mining Corporation (OMC) through Vedanta.
After site inspection, the team while giving various
instances of violation said "this is a case of violation of
the F(C) Act and also of the environment guidelines."
Vedanta Resources, part of the USD 6.6 billion metals
and mining giant, Vedanta, is implementing various mining
projects in Orissa and Chhattisgarh.

The Apple keyboard is very good. About the only feature it is missing is learning and predictive selection. That's probably what I am most looking forward to in iOS 8. With Swiftkey I can damn near type an entire paragraph with barely typing a couple of words. It just knows the words and phrases I am most likely to use and it populates them accordingly.

No problems at all with wordpress and nginx so far, everything is working just peachy keen except when i try to insert an image into a post from the media library, at which point it just turns up a 502 nginx error. Now I am not getting this error when I access the media library directly, i can view images in the media library, etc etc, only when I try to insert an image into a post via the media library. The apache and nginx error logs aren't showing anything, so there are really no hints at what is wrong here.
Has anyone else gone through and hopefully resolved this?

front axle bearings are behind the front wheels supporting the outer part of the axle shaft. the inner support is in the transaxle assembly and must be removed and disassemble to gain access. the fronts are replaced by removing the spindle assembly and pressing the hub and bearing out. you need a press to perform this operation.

Stars Are Nothing Like Us
Rihanna actually pulls off a mullet, plus more proof that stars are nothing like us
rihanna mullet
By Jessica Wedemeyer
Yes, celebrities are human beings and therefore share the same genetic makeup as the rest of us. But sometimes it seems like that's where the similarities end. Keep reading for a few examples of how stars are absolutely nothing like us.
RELATED: Fashion face-off: RiRi vs. Miley
They look hot with a mullet -- seriously, who looks hot with a mullet?
We're adding this one to the list of reasons why we're jealous of Rihanna. The singer -- who changes hairstyles at the drop of a hat -- posted this photo of herself in an NYC McDonald's on Aug. 18, and while we can't exactly see Rihanna's face, we can see the mullet developing at the back of her head. Somehow against all logic, Rihanna still looks incredible. We haven't seen someone pull off this style so well since Uncle Jesse in "Full House." And that was in the late '80s.

- No static cling
- Removed lingering smells from clothes
- No smell period once washed - just clean!
- Cut ground in dirt better than leading stain and spot remover
- A little pricy
- Doesn't come in gallon size
I emailed Atsko for a sample which they happily were going to send me. But not knowing how long I was going to be in the area, I found a local outfitter that carried it and picked up the 18oz size.
Admittedly, I was extremely skeptical when I first went to use Atsko Sport Wash on my Catoma EBNS and TNF Blue Kazoo since it's of a watery consistency. So I did the guy thing. If one oz is good, two is better right!?
Using the cap for measuring I added two cap fulls to the front loader commercial washing machine. Then sat there watching it.
Once it started to foam up, I knew I didn't need to use two cap fulls as I had done. Further thinking, great, I did the typical guy thing, I screwed up. But then came the rinse cycle. It was literally the clearest, most bubble free rinse water I've ever witnessed using a front loader. And I'm no green horn to front loader washing machines.
To my relief I also read you can use up to four times the amount and it will still rinse residue free.
Satisfied with what I saw happening in the front loader rinse cycle, I decided to wash everything I had with me on this trip in it. Which included my windbreaker, hiking shorts, shirts, Under Armour shirts and typical laundry.
Once dried in the dryer, the results pot a smile on my face.
Static Cling - Didn't exist.
Lingering sweat smell on Athletic clothes - Gone!
Slight mildew smell on tent - Gone!
Restaurant smell on windbreaker - Gone!
And... The weight of my windbreaker was noticeably lighter.
Okay, Atsko Sport Wash, you've got my attention. Let's see how it does on other things.
With my MacGyver hat on, I thought to myself, "If it doesn't leave residue and cuts soap residue left by other detergents then let's see how it does on bathroom tile and tubs."
So I mixed up a half ounce and half gallon of water and went to town on the hotel shower and tub area which was pretty soap scumed up.
Now I've used practically every bathroom cleaner made that claims to remove soap scum off tile and tubs. Sorry Wash cut it faster, I mean I was done in five minutes. And it rinsed clean. No soap scum, the tub and tile was nice and shiny.
Okay Atsko Sport Wash, what about ground in dirt or leather?
So I washed my leather boots mixing up another half gallon batch. Leather came out as well as could be expected. And so I finished them off after drying with Obenauf's.
But what about really ground in dirt? My walking sneakers! The perfect test.
A little history in my Nike Lunaglide 4's first.
They're light grey in color, or were; they turned black from wearing them to work at a restaurant I was employed at and trekking 4-8 miles a day. They had grease and food, flour, batter, and everything else spilled on them. They were nasty!
Three weeks ago, I tried to wash them, I went out and bought and used an entire jug of brand name stain and spot remover on them as well as laundry detergent. I soaked them, and scrubbed them. The end result was that they came out slightly cleaner.
Fast forward to yesterday, they had turned blacker than they were prior to washing them and were starting to smell bad.
Okay Sport Wash, let's see what you can do.
I mixed up two half gallon batches using a half ounce of Sport Wash each. One for each. And used a soft bristle brush as I had done previously three weeks prior.
Now keep in mind, these Nike's were BLACK when I started. Here's the result:
They aren't perfect, but the result is a hundred fold better than when I used all the other detergents and stain removers. And the smell?... Well they smell like.. nothing. Just clean!
And it's because of the result on my Nikes that I finally chose to write this review.
For me personally, I'm going to use Atsko Sport Wash on pretty much everything from here on out.
Happy trails,
- chase -
Washing tip from Atsko:
In corresponding with Atsko prior to purchasing, they recommended washing heavy items and towels twice to loosen past detergent reside before adding them to your normal load.
Thanks for the review, Chase. It sounds like a great cleaning product, though I'm having a hard time getting past the fact that you voluntarily cleaned a hotel shower and tub area. You are a brave man!

@ Alicia - lol At times the bravery is using the tub/shower prior to cleaning it. Lessons learned from staying at Hostels/Crew houses and other Hotels in the past. Normally I wouldn't do it myself but it was more a necessity this time, and an opportunity to test out Sport Wash in the same moment. I also fixed the semi clogged drain while at it. The benifit, a clean tub that I enjoyed a nice long warm bath in without fear of leaning back and relaxing in. Besides, I'm the type that will pick up and throw out left behind candy wrappers and such by others on the trail. The benifits can out weigh the little bit of work involved many times, this being one of them. - chase -

I've been using Atsko Sport Wash for several years now. I buy it at the Mountain Gear Store in the 64 fl oz bottle that is good for 64 loads. It restores all waterproof-breathable (Goretex, Entrant, eVent, Ultrex, etc.) I use it now for all my laundry needs and find it works really well on soft-shell fabrics as well. Don't know that I'm brave enough to do a down sleeping bag though. I concur with Chase's review. It does everything I want at a much lower cost than many of the other products available.

After using my tent and storing my tent in my bag…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: 13 bucks
After using my tent and storing my tent in my bag and forgetting all about it—leaving it in my Forerunner for a week, while it was still wet—when I pulled it it out and saw how wet it still was, I could smell the mold.
So I hand washed it with vinegar, which worked well and then I found some Sport Wash at the local True Value. After a good hand wash and some rinse, hanged it to dry on the clothesline. It came out just like new!
Now I just did my 80 liter pack and it came out really well too. I'm going to treat them both with some for Nikwax tent and gear Solarproof as soon as I find some. iI will give a review on that too when I can.
- Worked great
- Good price
- None that I can see so far
The wash worked just fine. At first i was trying to find come Nikwax Tech Wash, but of course the store I went to didn't have any.
Looks like you get enough for your 13 bucks to do a number of loads. I used one cap full for the tent and 2 for the bigger pack in my tub. Rinsed clean and then hanged on the clothesline.

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great for the price! After 5 months of riding with these, I'm very satisfied. Everyone's face is different, but I haven't had issues with wind getting in my eyes; even on the highways. I ended up riding in the rain with these and I had no water getting in my eyes. And after wearing them in the sun three or four times, they do get plenty dark. A great buy overall; even though you look like Bono from U2 when the lenses are clear. Mike - January 12, 2012 (Virginia Beach, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Good but could be better... Good quality glasses, but lenses do need to get a little bit darker for bright days. Fit - they could make them hug your face a little better for more snugness and to help with some wind getting through. NY - September 29, 2011 (Raleigh, NC) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit is there some magic word to get these to change???????? these things don't change at all. SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! josh - September 29, 2011 (abingdon , MD) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Bobster Photochromic Hooligan Sunglasses I was very unimpressed with these glasses. When I read the words Photochromatic in the header I was expecting lenses that changed their level of darkness based on the outside light. Instead I found a pair of glasses that don't seem to change at all. In bright sunlight these were killing my eyes because of how bright they were. The fit of the glasses is ok, though they do let a lot of wind around the lens and into the eye. I can see these glasses being useful an hour after sunset, through the night and possibly an hour after dawn, otherwise they just don't block enough sunlight. Shawn - August 18, 2010 (Dallas, TX) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Great Choice the fit is great, and the lenses being transitional resolves the problem of having to carry more than one pair of glasses for day, and night riding. Matt - July 08, 2010 (Canton, OH) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Hooligin glasses Nice glasses ,fit well nice to not have to have clear for night and tinted for days. D F - June 23, 2010 (bells, TN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Hooligan Sunglasses I like the fit and finish of these glasses. I wear them most places outdoors.

Michael - January 05, 2010 (Littlerock, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Good, but The glasses are sturdy, fit well under the helmet and provide good eye protection. They don't darken as much as I would like. When they are clear in low light, they look crummy with the heavy black frame and clear lenses.

Columbia University Film Alumnus Wins Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Columbia University School of the Arts Film Program graduate Ayad Akhtar ('02) has won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, for his play Disgraced.
"We are thrilled for Ayad," said Carol Becker, Dean of Faculty. "His achievement speaks to the level of writing coming out of the School of the Arts-crossing forms and disciplines."
The prize for drama is awarded to a distinguished play by an American author, preferably original in its source and dealing with American life. Disgraced tells the story of a successful corporate lawyer painfully forced to consider why he has camouflaged his Pakistani Muslim heritage for so long.
"We couldn't be more proud of Ayad's achievements since he graduated from our program," said Film Program Chair, Ira Deutchman. "As a writer, director and actor, he has proven himself to be a true renaissance man."
The other finalists nominated in the Drama category were Rapture, Blister, Burn, by Gina Gionfriddo, and 4000 Miles, by Amy Herzog. This year's judges were Peter Marks, drama critic for The Washington Post, Princeton Professor Jill Dolan, critics John Fleming and Alexis Soloski, and former Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies.
Last year, Columbia School of the Arts graduate Tracy K. Smith ('97) won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry for her book Life on Mars, and School of the Arts graduate Karen Russell ('06) was a finalist for the Fiction Prize.
Ayad Akhtar's plays include The Invisible Hand (Repertory Theater of St Louis). He also is the author of American Dervish, a novel published by Little, Brown & Co. He co-wrote and starred in The War Within (Magnolia Pictures), released internationally and nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay. And he starred in HBO's adaptation of Andrew Ross Sorkin's Too Big to Fai, as Neel Karhkaril. Ayad Akhtar studied at Brown University and Columbia University's School of the Arts.
Prizes will be awarded at a luncheon on the Columbia University Morningside campus in May.
Columbia University School of the Arts awards the Master of Fine Arts degree in Film, Theatre, Visual Arts and Writing and the Master of Arts degree in Film Studies. The School is a thriving, diverse Community of artists from around the world with talent, vision, and commitment. The faculty is composed of acclaimed and internationally renowned artists, film and theatre directors, writers of poetry, fiction and nonfiction, playwrights, producers, critics and scholars. Every year the School of the Arts presents exciting and innovative programs for the public including performances, exhibitions, screenings, symposia, a film festival, and numerous lectures, readings, panel discussions and talks with artists, writers, critics and scholars.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/13/12
Mired in their longest slide of the season, perhaps the last thing the Buffalo Bills need is to be without one of their top players while trying to end their recent struggles against the Miami Dolphins. Minus running back Fred Jackson, the Bills look to snap a three-game skid Thursday night against the visiting Dolphins, who will try to avoid a third straight defeat. Buffalo (3-6) has at least been competitive in the midst of its longest losing streak since a seven-game slide Nov. 6-Dec. 18. The Bills fell 35-34 at home to Tennessee on Oct. 21 and 21-9 at Houston on Nov. 14. On Sunday, Ryan Fitzpatrick was intercepted in the end zone with 28 seconds left in a 37-31 defeat at New England. "We are not good enough yet to not play extremely well and win," said coach Chan Gailey, whose team has lost five of six. "We've got to play extremely well to win. We're not there yet." That could be tough to remedy without Jackson, who ran for 80 yards with two touchdowns and caught four passes...

Urban Gardner: Putting Science in a Swing
Ralph Gardner Jr. visits a clinic for young baseball players—and revisits his own field of dreams.
It's baseball season again and at our house that means—well, actually it doesn't mean much. We're Mets fans, so we're ready to cut our losses, even though the season is only five games old. We'll probably attend one of the team's games sometime in July, but that's more out of tradition and a sense of obligation than excitement over the Mets' pennant prospects.
Another reason we may not be a baseball family is because I have daughters instead of sons. I realize that's an unforgivably sexist thing to say. Except that I can count on the fingers of one hand the times they've wanted to play catch. And it certainly wasn't because I tried to dissuade them. There are few other outdoor activities where you can readily summon the best, most heroic version of yourself than shagging flies.
Perhaps the final reason batting practice isn't a priority in our household is that I always stunk at the game. Baseball isn't solely to blame for my insecurities. But it played a formative role. I'm thinking in particular of the time at camp I played outfield—the refuge of the athletically ungifted—and misjudged a fly ball, allowing 17 runs to score, or whatever.
Those seminal failures came roaring back last week as I made my way to an Upper West Side public school gym where Jordan Baltimore, the founder of New York Empire Baseball, had offered to review my swing.
Undoubtedly, one reason why I've always had trouble making contact with a baseball is a jaundiced attitude toward coaches and coaching. Indeed, earlier that day Woody Allen's observation in "Annie Hall" popped into my head: "Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym."
"Luckily we're not 'Family Guy,' " Mr. Baltimore told me when I brought up the quotation. "I'm teaching linear and rotational mechanics as they apply to baseball."
Mr. Baltimore is a Goldman Sachs alum who grew up in Brooklyn and attended Hunter High School. After he left Goldman about a decade ago he founded an equity research firm and also started coaching a travel team of 8-year-olds. Baseball now seems to consume most of his time.
So I'm asking myself: What kind of person goes from Goldman Sachs to coaching second-graders for a living? But within a few moments something became apparent to me (perhaps because of all the well-heeled parents milling about the school hallway waiting to pick up their kids). That was that the "Empire" in his organization's name might just as well describe Mr. Baltimore's flourishing business—started in 2009—as to New York state.
"One of the dads, a Goldman guy, said, 'You're the Moneyball of baseball training," Mr. Baltimore recalled. "It's the nicest compliment we ever could have received. We're steeped in physics and analysis, not in convention and tradition."
In addition to his stable of coaches, Empire Baseball boasts state-of-the-art equipment, such as "the world's only indoor baseball simulator," according to its website. Some 700 kids, from as young as 3 to as old as 17, pay up to $1,700 a season—approximately $3,500 a year to emulate Albert Pujols or Derek Jeter.
"The kids are here every night for batting practice," explained Mr. Baltimore, as he pointed at Callen Murphy, a 7-year-old who the coach said was working on his "pick off moves and poise under pressure."
Mr. Baltimore contends that many conventional coaching admonitions, such as "Keep your eye on the ball," are meaningless. The reason a kid is whiffing the ball is more likely due to factors such as "incomplete rotation of the thorax."
I'd come equipped with a few questions, based on personal experience, no matter how ancient. For example, how does one overcome what seems to me the perfectly logical fear of a projectile as hard as a rock traveling at your head at 70 or 80 miles per hour?
"We teach how to get out of the way of the pitch," Mr. Baltimore explained as he stood up and turned his body against a hypothetical fastball to present the smallest possible target. "If you realize you're going to get hit you protect the large areas, anywhere there's exposed bone."
"We're very realistic," he added. "It's going to hurt. But you'll be prepared. That sense of preparation minimizes some of the fear."
A more debilitating fear, the coach observed, was fear of failure. I could relate to that, too. Part of the reason I took up singles tennis is because I wouldn't be disappointing anybody else if I was awful.
"We teach, don't go up thinking, 'I hope I don't strike out,' " Mr. Baltimore explained. "I want you to go out swinging. Nothing good can happen if you don't swing. That's my approach to life."
The moment had come for my lesson. It didn't help my self-esteem that Jack Casciato, the 6-year-old I replaced in the batter's box, was pounding line drives without miss while cameras and computers whirred away, analyzing information such as the exit velocity and elevation of his hits. "He understands the kinesthetic sequence," Mr. Baltimore explained proudly, though I had no idea what he was talking about.
"Process is more important than outcome," Mr. Baltimore told me gently as I whiffed every pitch. The coach encouraged me to adopt Empire Baseball's mantra: "Step, snap, spin, swing."
But nothing seemed to help. Life can be harder not only when you're bad at sports but also at following directions.
