|Big hits in the big leagues
|Tuesday, 24 August 2010 10:55
Ottawa Sens grinder Matt Carkner made the shift from body work to body checks. Dennis Carkner, shop owner and hockey dad, couldn't be more proud. Neither can the local fans.
It's game six in the Senators vs Penguins series during the NHL playoffs. Triple overtime. Fisher rushes down the ice, puck in his control. He crosses the defence, carries it to Alfredson. With Penguins closing in he passes it to Carkner. Carkner shoots! Scores! The Sens win!
This goal, believe it or not, has roots planted firmly in collision repair.
It all starts with Dennis Carkner, owner of Fix Auto Winchester/D's Collision Centre, and Matt Carkner's father.
Dennis has owned his shop for 22 years now, so he knows what it's all about. He makes sure to keep everyone and everything in line and on side, ensuring success for his business. His team at the shop is about seven strong, ranging from estimators to paint technicians, with a large family contingent. Dennis's wife runs detailing and rentals. His sister-in-law, Bev Stewart, is responsible for the accounting. Bev was the one who first encouraged Matt to go into hockey.
Both of Dennis's sons worked at the centre growing up. Phil Carkner went on to get a degree in dealership management. He later returned as a partner in the business.
"I was lucky and I found my way into the industry," Dennis said. "But Phil was born into it."
Growing up, Matt was at the shop a lot, honing his skills and developing the character ideal for making a good, solid defenceman. "Matt will tell you that he got all the rotten jobs, but really he just got the ones that he was able to do," Dennis laughed. To be fair though, Matt was developing extremely well in his other field.
On the facility's team, Dennis is the coach. He directs the players, monitors progress and sets goals.
"The shop has progressed due to the collaboration of different people," he said. "It's been hard work, especially in the beginning, but it's definitely worth it."
Over the years he has added more and more to his shop, bringing in computerized management and measurement systems and more technicians.
As any hockey parent knows, having a son or daughter who's coming up in a sport makes for a demanding family schedule. Most cope with a sense of familial pride and a lot of coffee. For Dennis, however, he enjoyed it so much he never noticed extra stress at the shop. "I came from a great position with great people—I made sure I had the right people and everything I needed to do the job right."
Matt, ever grateful of his father's support, concurs: "It really comes down to the team and the atmosphere the coach creates," he said. "Dad's made sure to create a team with the best players, and ensure that he has everything he needs to do the job right."

Although their church building was officially closed by the diocese on Jan. 18, parishioners of St. Andrew the Apostle Roman Catholic parish are continuing to meet: for prayer, fellowship and to express their concerns about the diocese's reconfiguration plan. Their next gathering will be this Sunday, Feb. 1, at the church--INSIDE OR OUTSIDE--building at 11 a.m. for a prayer service.
This week the National Catholic Reporter newspaper published a front-page story on the problem of church closings across the United States. (See www.ncronline.org) The article notes that parishes in other parts of the country are handling the shortage of priests without closing churches. These parishes hold services without a priest and hold a Mass when a priest is available and may serve communion.
St. Andrew's had operated with a shared priest, Father James Matthews, who also is pastor of St. Lucy's Church in the city of Syracuse. The bishop has asked St. Andrew's parishioners to join St. Lucy's Church.
The Action Committee of St. Andrew's notes that:
The church's own canon law, specifically section 517.2, allows lay members of the church to carry out services when a priest is not available.
St. Andrew's is a vibrant, viable and fiscally solvent parish with a priest who wants to continue to serve there and at St. Lucy's.
The parishioners of St. Andrew are continuing to gather for prayer and fellowship even though their building has been taken from them.
Two prayer services were held the morning of closure (Jan. 18) at the church, located at 124 Alden St., in Syracuse. Parishioners gathered the following day outside the diocesan headquarters in downtown Syracuse to urge Bishop Moynihan to reconsider his decision to close St. Andrew's and other viable parishes. Bishop Moynihan's policy regarding 40 church closings planned for the diocese is: "one priest, one parish."
Parishioners will gather this Sunday at 11 a.m., the traditional time of Mass at St. Andrew's, to share in prayer and fellowship. The service will take place whether the church doors are open and space inside available or outside on the steps of the church regardless of weather conditions. Parishioners are asked to bring cans of food for soup kitchens in the community.

The Seattle University ORCA Card for students has an all-inclusive (minus major Ferry fares) feature with a face value of over $1,500. However, with generous subsidization from the university transportation program. Payment can be made in one lump sum or in installments (Semester or Quarterly).
It is very easy to order a SU ORCA Card, and students can enroll in the program at any time. Processing takes about two business days, after which time students will be contacted via email to come into our office to pick up their card. You will find answers to the program's most frequently asked questions below.
If you chose to pay in installments when it is time to renew your card you will need to go to The Permit Store. ration dates are also listed below. If your email is registered with us, you should receive a courtesy email notifying you of the expiring enrollment approximately one week before your renewal date. Note: this email is a courtesy reminder. Students are encouraged to make a personal note of when their enrollment expires. Public Safety will not be responsible for missed enrollment renewal dates and subsequent card deactivation.
After reporting your card lost to Public Safety, there is a two business day processing time after which point you are eligible to purchase a replacement card for $10. The replacement fee increases to $25 the second time a student loses their card and $50 if the student loses their card a third time.
If the student files a police report for their stolen card and brings a copy of the report into our office, students can request a replacement card free of charge. This request could take up to two business days to process. To report the stolen card, you can either visit a local SPD precinct or call the non-emergency business line to file a stolen property report. The number to call is as follows: (206) 625-5011. When you encounter the phone tree, you can enter the # 2 then the # 8 to file your report. Be sure to record the stolen report number.
There are three main requirements: You must be at least Half-time student status at Seattle University, the pass must only be used for personal commute needs; and you must not currently be enrolled in a Seattle University parking permit.
We ask that you NOT put any money or Ferry products on your SU issued ORCA Card. Students can still take advantage of the 30% Ferry product subsidy, but must purchase Ferry product separately and bring your receipts to DPS and request a reimbursement. Because your card is registered under a Seattle University account, retrieving any personal funds from this card is nearly impossible. Seattle University will NOT be responsible for any personal funds or additional products put on your Seattle University ORCA Card. We encourage that a separate (non-SU issued) card is purchased for personal/ additional use. That is, for products not covered by your SU ORCA Card such as Ferry products or E-purse funds.

Blinders, Red Flags, and One Brutal Text
Friday, December 30th, 2011
The one saving grace of my terrible luck with men… is that they sure do make it easy for me to hate them.
For those of you who read this blog for drama because my personal life is a trainwreck most of the time, this one's for you. Just go easy on me in the comments, okay? I'm a little sensitive right now.
So we all know I've been dating HSD (Hot Single Dad) since the summertime. We had taken a little break somewhere in the beginning of October for about two weeks, but had both decided we did want to be together, and things went really well after that. We met each others' families, I introduced him to Caroline (which I have never done with anyone I've dated since my divorce), and he introduced me to his daughter. We were together all the time and I was really happy.
Yeah… was. Past tense.
Yesterday, during lunch, I got a text from him, out of the blue, telling me that he was sorry but his ex-girlfriend, who was married, finally left her husband so he couldn't continue our relationship anymore.
Yeah, a text.
Yeah, it said that.
So that's that. I still don't even know what to think. I'm more mad than sad. Were we a perfect match? No, but he was good to me and to my daughter and I had really liked him and trusted him. I had felt secure enough in what we had to let him into not only my life, but my daughter's life too.
And that's the thing that pisses me off the most. Not at him, but at myself. I should have known to wait longer to bring him around her, I should have been more careful, I should have taken things slower where she was concerned. I don't want to be one of those single parents who brings a string of significant others in and out of Caroline's life. Well, she's not even three years old and that's already one down. I better shape up in the future. It was selfish of me to let them develop any kind of relationship, really.
But… how could I have known? And even worse… in the future, how will I know?
You would think, having been crushed by a failed marriage by the young age of 26, and having a child involved, that I would be more cautious about getting attached to anyone in any way. You would think that I would have an eagle eye out for red flags. You would think that having a child whose father's involvement in her life is sporadic at best would make me more protective of who I let into her life in the role of my significant other. But I was not, and now I have to pay for my foolishness by being faced with the task of telling my daughter that he won't be coming around here anymore… on top of having to deal with how the whole thing makes me feel. I guess I just got caught up in the euphoria of actually really liking someone who seemed to really like me back.
In the end it is not as big of a deal as I'm making it out to be, because she did not much care for him anyway (she's a better judge of character than I am, I suppose), and because a relationship of only a little over four months will not take me long to get over. I am mostly disappointed that he is not the person I thought he was, that someone who I thought was wonderful would not only do something like this, but do it in the most cowardly and sh*tty way possible: with a text. Christ, I had just left his house that morning, thinking how lucky I was to have found a great guy like him.
So. I got the rug pulled out from under me. It happens. But… what do I do about it?
I pick myself up and be grateful that I learned this lesson before my daughter is old enough to be too affected by the consequences of my poor decision, that this happened sooner in our relationship rather than later, and that I can at least be secure in the knowledge that he is not the kind of person I want to be with anyway. I allow myself to be sad and mad but place the blame squarely where it belongs… not on him, but on me, because I am the one who made the decision to introduce them. And I look at the example he is setting for his daughter, who is twelve, and old enough to understand, and I make damn sure that I become a better relationship role model for my own daughter than he has been for his.
And in the future? I try to take the blinders off, put my daughter's needs before my own selfish wants, and give things time and take it slow. What is the rush, anyway? For now, I think that is all I can do.
It sucks, though, you guys. I'm not feeling too great about things at the moment.Add a Comment

Seo Joon-yeong expressed his special feelings for Bora from Sistar.
Seo Joon-yeong, on January 17th's broadcast of SBS's "Kang Heart", confessed his feelings for Bora from idol group Sistar.
This day's episode was a couple special. All the cast had a partner but Seo Joon-yeong and Bora were different. Seo Joon-yeong said he wanted to become partners with her.

Seo Joon-yeong said, "I liked the song "So Cool" in the summer. I could only see Bora on stage" and shocked everyone. He said he liked everything about her when he was asked what is was about her he liked.
Meanwhile, the cast on this day included Bora, Goo Eun-ae, Mir from MBLAQ and more.

Baltimore Ravens 23Cleveland Browns 16Welcome back regular officials.I have never been one to criticize or hate on the replacement officials before this week, BUT, this game did go a lot smoother and was finished much quicker and that is where I will stop. As for the game, the Baltimore Ravens came out quick and looked like they could almost do anything they wanted to against the Browns' defense.But after the first quarter the Browns' defense clamped down a bit. The Ravens only scored two offensive touchdowns and if it wasn't for the pick-six thrown by Brandon Weeden the game would have taken on a whole different feel.Baltimore Ravens (3-1): Joe Flacco had another good game and threw for 356 yards and one touchdown. Flacco also ran for a touchdown in which will probably be his only rushing touchdown of the season, so if you played him good call [Pats self on back].Ray Rice had a somewhat quiet night, mostly due in part to penalties, Rice had a couple long runs called back for holdin...

Home > Health & Fitness > Healthwise > Functional Incontinence: Timed Voiding and Prompted Voiding
Functional incontinence means that a person can't
reach the bathroom in time to urinate because of physical or mental
limitations. These may include problems with walking, conditions such as arthritis, or
problems with reasoning (such as dementia). People who have functional
incontinence can try to control it by using timed voiding and prompted voiding.
Timed voiding is also called habit training. It sets a schedule for
urinating (voiding) that is determined by your personal habits. It doesn't
try to increase how long you can wait before you have to urinate. And it doesn't teach
you to resist the urge to urinate.
With prompted voiding, a caregiver prompts you to urinate. The goal is to decrease the chance of accidents
by making you aware of the need to urinate. It usually is used along with timed voiding for people who are
unaware of their bodily functions, such as people who have

I need to manage the recording/capture of a website mindwhile it is running a slide-show to get videos form these slides.
My approach is:
define('FFMPEG_LIBRARY', '/usr/bin/ffmpeg ');
$ffmpegcmd = "ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 800x600 -i :0.0 /tmp/output.mpg";
But i get this error from php error log:
[x11grab @ 0x81e8aa0] device: :0.0 -> display: :0.0 x: 0 y: 0 width: 800 height: 600
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
[x11grab @ 0x81e8aa0] Could not open X display.
:0.0: Input/output error
Similar command from console run good.
Please, any help to get display and be able to control ffmpeg from browser php script?
Thanks in advance.
thanks for your time.
I got rid the X display error, but not I still haven't got the capture.
Using xvfb I get an unknown file at /tmp written by www-data user: -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 11252 Sep 12 09:49 server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm
Running startx I got also an unknown file at /tmp -rw------- 1 www-data www-data 59 Sep 12 09:53 serverauth.oLcFlG7tXC
any of both grow in size so it is not capturing anything. The content is some binary thing. What are those files about?
What I am trying is to write a script in which I can control the time ffmpeg is capturing the desktop to create a video from a jquery slide displayed on a website.
My try from console is closer, but if I can do it by browser I will be able to know when to stop sending an AJAX request once the slide is finished.
This is my try from console:
# start the slide website: I will need to change it to control by querystring the language and course level
firefox http://www.languagecourse.net/vocabulary-trainer.php &
# start recording: I will need to adjust the frame to capture
ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 800x600 -i :0.0 /tmp/output2.mpg &
# since I can't control the time a course takes I pause an arbitrary time
sleep 5
# look for the capture PID and close it
for i in $(ps aux | grep ffmpeg | sed "s/ */#/g" | cut -f2 -d#)
echo "proceso $i killed"
kill -9 $i
I wonder once the website is opened I can continue doing the control from AJAX, but not know if I will be able to get the ffmpeg PID to stop the command.
I will appreciate any kind of comments.
Regards, ·_-

 are these adjustable, so you can wear around waist ?

Asked by: blooper

 The bandolier is adjustable up to 60", but they are designed to be slung sash-style over the shoulder.
Answered by: Customer Service

Date published: 2015-05-23

 the photo shows one black and one in olive drab, do you get to pick color or do you get one of each?

Asked by: blooper

 This is for a two pack of black bandoliers.
Answered by: Customer Service

Date published: 2015-05-23

 Would this work with 12gr C02 cartridges?

Asked by: Dan1

 The bandolier is not designed to hold CO2 cylinders, but the CO2 are going to be approximately the same size at the 12 gauge shot shells so it should work.

Dakota Fanning
There's nothing like a fancy fete to bring out the famous folks, and last night (May 7) NYLON magazine and BCBGeneration hosted the Annual Young Hollywood Issue Party at HYDE Sunset: Kitchen + Cocktails in West Hollywood.
May 2015 cover girl Dakota Fanning was the woman of the evening, strutting around the event and mingling with fellow attendees Victoria Justice and her younger sister Madison Justice.
If 2014 was all about the 1960s, the 1970s are all the rage this year, and Dakota Fanning is all decked out as a classic rock goddess on the May 2015 cover of NYLON magazine.
The 21-year-old "Runaways" actress donned faux fur with sunglasses and boots as she posed for photographer Harper Smith. And it sounds like she's enjoying her life in Manhattan these days-
"There's a man on my corner who thinks I'm an Olsen. He'll yell, 'Hey Olsen!' at me. It's really funny."
She recently celebrated her 21st birthday in Las Vegas, and Dakota Fanning definitely looked like a fully-fledged woman at the premiere of her new film "Effie Gray" last night (March 30).
The "I Am Sam" actress showed up at The Paris Theatre in New York City for the shindig, showing off her curves in a lovely grey satin dress as she hobnobbed with fellow guests.
Teaming up for a variety of fabulous front pages, Dakota Fanning and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are among the lovely ladies chosen for the cover of VS magazine's Spring/Summer 2015 edition.
In addition, Zoe Kravitz, Freida Pinto, Elizabeth Olsen and Abbey Lee Kershaw are also featured in their own versions of the issue, all shot in a classy black and white motif.
Stepping out for an evening of sport, Dakota Fanning took her dad Stephen Fanning to the New York Knicks vs Miami Heat basketball game at Madison Square Garden in New York City last night (November 30).
The "Runaways" babe couldn't stop laughing as she chatted with her handsome papa while enjoying their primo courtside seats.
Though she usually tends toward a more conservative aesthetic, Dakota Fanning surprised spectators with her sartorial selection for the 2014 Accessories Council ACE Awards in New York City last night (November 3).
Joined by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, the "Runaways" starlet donned a see-through dress that showed off her bra and underwear as she posed outside Cipriani 42nd Street restaurant.
Taking care of her to-do list, Dakota Fanning went for a stroll in New York City's SoHo neighborhood on Monday afternoon (October 27).
Always beautiful, the "I Am Sam" actress kept it cool and casual in a black sweater with cuffed jeans and white sneakers as she toted her lovely lavender handbag up the street.
Showing off an impressive new collection of athletic-inspired apparel, Alexander Wang unveiled his H&M range in Washington Heights, New York City last night (October 16).
Fashion fans like Jessica Chastain, Justin Theroux, Kate Mara and Solange Knowles hung out at the shindig while singer Mary J Blige and rapper Missy Elliot provided some post-shot entertainment.
Showing some love to her English fans, Dakota Fanning showed up at The Curzon Mayfair for the big UK premiere of her new flick "Effie Gray" on Sunday night (October 5).
The stunning "Runaways" starlet was hard to miss in her ravishing red Valentino dress and shoes as she mingled with fellow attendees and posed for photos.
Nurturing her inner-clotheshorse, Dakota Fanning sat front row at the Rodarte Spring 2015 presentation as part of Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week on Tuesday (September 9).
The "I Am Sam" actress was joined by musicians Kim Gordon and Cat Power as she fixated on each and every ensemble that paraded past.

- " Great place overall, nice staff, beautiful location. Only, I thought the system in place for them holding your back before you check in or after you check out wasn't the best - people are escorted in and grab the bag they claim is theirs. Tags and tickets would be better, I think. "
- 22 Apr 2015 Paulo Canada
- " The room i stayed in was pretty gross along with the restroom. It was in the basement, not sure if it was below quality of the rooms on the above floor but i wouldn't stay there again if it depended on the facilities. However, there were so many people there and i met some super awesome people. I love that they have their own kitchen. Really a toss up if i'd stay again. "
- 14 Apr 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Nice hostel "
- 02 Apr 2015 Wei Hong Macau
- " Lovely location, nice quiet area. Short walk to subway. Staff were very very helpful and it was a secure building. The bedrooms and particularly the bathrooms coukd do with an update. Also to get to the showers on my floor you had to walk through the lobby and the bathroom didnt have space to get changed. The social area and the fact there were many computers to use was great though. "
- 17 Mar 2015 Anonymous England
- " The staff is great and extremely responsive to needs. The facility is clean and in great condition! "
- 14 Feb 2015 Matthew USA
- " Your breakdast was great. Keep it up Also, it is quiet at night. Keep it that way "
- 16 Jan 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Maybe have some food for lunch or dinner just besides breakfast. "
- 24 Nov 2014 Clarke American Samoa
- " Hostel is in a good location clean and staff are friendly and the breakfast was good - my only concern is that if you get a room downstairs the cleaning staff are very noisey when they come into work early in the morning which is a pain to be woken up that early especially if you have had a late night before "
- 11 Nov 2014 Howard John England
- " helpful staff, clean "
- 25 Oct 2014 Darryl Canada
- " It was disconcerting when we arrived and there was no electricity! We were taken in dark hallways and stairs to our room via flashlight and it was the wrong room, so back down and over we went. We left soon after to spend time in the city and when we returned in the evening all was well. Staff was understanding and accommodating. We would stay there again!! I'm 60 and my daughter is 28. "

Good replacement for originalI have a Wii I bought in US and which worked on 110V. Somebody plugged it directly into 220V and blew the adapter. I found this adapter and a price lower than what was quoted to me for repairing the original and hence ordered this. Delivery happened in time and the product works great. The kids had been missing their Wii and are happy. Moreover - this adapter works at 220V so I no longer need to use a converter.

Flagstaff tree sitter is protesting sewage line
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Authorities say a man is perched in a large pine tree near Flagstaff's Lowell Observatory in protest of a sewage line under construction.
Flagstaff police say the property owner will pursue trespassing charges after the man is arrested, which won't take happen until he gets out of the tree.
The group protesting the sewage line identifies the tree sitter as a Northern Arizona University student.
The Arizona Republic says the group is against the near-completion of a 14-mile sewage pipeline. The group claims the pipeline will be hazardous and contain antibiotic resistant genes.

Gio's sketchbook
hello everyone!
as you might guess from my username and thread title i'm Giorgio, 30 years old from Italy.
i always loved drawing, and i've been able to transform the dreams i had when i was a kid in my job.
i work as a freelance illustrator since 2006, mostly for books, being them school readers, picture books, narrative..
lately i decided to expand my range of audience/techniques/genres, and aim towards something more "mature" and evolved, and discovered the world of concept art.
after watching tons of videos on youtube i decided it was time to push myself over what i was used to do and i must confess i really love it.
what really brought me here (i've been a reader of the forums for quite some time) is sinix, i've been watching his videos lately and heard about his story, how he get inside this world and how much of a help conceptart.org has been for him, so here i am too, ready and willing to improve myself day after day.
stop the talking now, let's show something.
those are mostly wips, i'll post the final works in the appropriate thread.
thank for stopping by!
p.s. hope images are not too big..

In The News...
April 5, 2015 - Angela Major
WHITEWATER-On the playground during recess at Lincoln Inquiry Charter School, Mikole Pierce teased Ethan Watts about a girl Ethan fancies.
"Where's your girl?" Pierce asked Ethan.
Ethan is a fourth-grader and Pierce is a a senior at UW-Whitewater. They're lunch buddies through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rock, Walworth and Jefferson Counties.
"Oh my God," Ethan responded as his cheeks turned red and he playfully punched Pierce.
Pierce picked up Ethan, turned him upside down and carried him a few feet while swinging him around. The two laughed.
Ethan and Pierce were paired in January 2014 and have met weekly ever since.
Ethan can be a boy of few words.
During the first few visits, Ethan wouldn't talk to Pierce, a member of the UW-Whitewater baseball team.
Pierce coaxed information from Ethan over games of chess. For each piece Pierce took, Ethan shared something about himself.
After a few weeks, Ethan opened up about his life at home, about school and even about a girl.
"He's really shy when it comes to girls," Pierce said before asking Ethan about the girl again in a quieter voice.
Ethan and Pierce have secrets.
The two talk about things they might not discuss with other people.
Ethan confides in Pierce about things at home that bother him. Pierce has talked to Ethan about life after graduation.
During lunch Wednesday, Pierce and Ethan sat across from each other at a table in the gym and shared jokes inaudible to someone a few feet away but clearly entertaining to the duo.
Pierce is one of a growing number of UW-Whitewater baseball players who volunteer with the local Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
Pierce was the first volunteer from the team. When the organization was in need of more volunteers, Pierce asked his teammates if anyone was interested.
Since then, two others have joined and more are considering it, Pierce said.
April is National Volunteer Month.
Andrea Levine, community-based program coordinator of the local Big Brothers Big Sisters program, said volunteers like Pierce and the others are invaluable to children's education and confidence.
"They make all of the change for the children," Levine said. "We just facilitate that... The kids are really excited to get a Big Brother or Big Sister, and the volunteers really want to help a child. They go in to it with the dedication to see it through, and amazing things happen."
Children with Bigs are 46 percent less likely to use illegal drugs, 27 percent less likely to drink alcohol and 52 percent less likely to skip school, according to the organization's website.
When Pierce started working with Ethan, Ethan was having trouble at school.
He had in-school suspensions, wasn't doing his work and had trouble focusing.
As time has passed, Ethan's behavior and work has improved. This year he has had zero in-school suspensions.
Pierce smiles when he talks about Ethan's marked improvement, and the senior doesn't take credit for it.
"He doesn't really have a lot of role models, and it's good to be one of those role models to him and help him out any way I can," Pierce said. "I think he can trust me with just about anything. He's pretty open with me about what he's going through."
Ethan was hesitant to share why he liked having Pierce around because the reporter asking questions was a female, and, as Pierce explained, Ethan is shy around girls.
Eventually Ethan, with flushed cheeks, explained he never thought about why he likes having Pierce around. He just does.
"He's awesome," Ethan said before looking up and over at Pierce in the hallway.
A few moments later, Ethan fist-bumped Pierce goodbye and went back to class.
Pierce is not looking forward to saying goodbye to Ethan. He's seeking the perfect replacement from his team.
"I want to put him in good hands," Pierce said. "I don't want to leave him hanging."
Helping a local student is one reason Pierce volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters. The organization was also the best fit for his schedule and a way to give back to the community.
"A lot revolves around the college, but a lot gets forgotten about the actual community of Whitewater, not the university," Pierce said. "I transferred twice before I came here, so being able to give back to Whitewater the way Whitewater has given to me is great."
Teammate Will Helbing chose the organization for the same reasons.
As a kid, Helbing always wanted a younger sibling that could look up to him like he did his sister.
At first, Helbing, a sophomore, and his Little were shy around each other. Now, the two hug and high-five when they see one another.
"He tells me how excited he is for me to come in on that day," Helbing said. "I can tell it makes his day better, and it even makes my day better to come by just for an hour and hang out with someone who idolizes me. (I can) take a step back from schoolwork and baseball.
"It's a really good relationship because we both benefit from it."

Chilton joins Force India for Abu Dhabi
Max Chilton will run with the Force India team in the upcoming Young Driver Test at the Abu Dhabi circuit.
The 20-year-old Briton, who had already carried out aero testing for the team earlier this year, will drive on Tuesday and Thursday.
Force India said the full line-up for the test will be announced in the coming days.
"I can't wait to get back in the car in Abu Dhabi," said Chilton, who competed in GP2 with the Carlin team in 2011. "I've spent time with the team already so I've got a feel for the way they work and I hope I can get up to speed quickly.
"Abu Dhabi is a track I've raced at a few times in GP2 so that will help. It's a big opportunity for me and I just want to enjoy the experience and take in as much as I can."
Team boss Vijay Mallya (pictured) added: "We all know how difficult it is to break into Formula 1, so the young driver test is a great initiative allowing all the teams to evaluate young talent.
"It gives the drivers a chance to learn more about how a Formula 1 team operates away from the pressures of a race weekend and get valuable experience under their belt. I will keep a close eye on the progress of the test next week."

35 year old man | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking women 22-39 within 10 miles
Active within 3 days
In a nutshell: one part techie, one part...
In a nutshell: one part techie, one part fitness enthusiast, one part food and drink connoisseur. In my free time, I like to enjoy all the great things there are to do in River North and the West Loop. I also really enjoy hosting parties at home, whether a gathering for cocktails, a dinner, or a pool bash since I like to take an active role in making Chicago summers awesome! Sadly though, I've traded in making pina coladas for egg nog right now, since there's really not much going on at the pool. I've also been trying to figure out how to make an awesome buttered rum too--would you be interested in helping me out? I'm also pretty solid in the kitchen, though I don't usually cook for myself, as I like to keep my culinary ninja skills on the down low and bust them out when least expected. I can neither confirm nor deny allegations that I make truffle fries or creme brulee. Fitness is an important part of my life, and it's something I hope to share with someone, so you get bonus points if you're a better runner than me or think a hundred mile bike ride sounds like fun. After running the Chicago Marathon for the past four years and scoring a lottery entry this year, I was forced to defer as a result of an injury. I am definitely looking forward to being back at it next year though. At the end of the day, the Internet is great for making introductions, but a handful of tiny pictures and some check boxes can't predict chemistry. So, let's meet for drinks and see what happens!
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting

Gear Review
Favorite helmet to date, w/one flaw
First, the flaw: The adjustment knob on the back of the helmet is fragile. Mine came apart on my first climb as a result of pulling my Nanopuff over my head. Luckily the pieces stayed with me. Replacement helmet it the same way. Beware.
But, the helmet is so good that I'm hell-bent to find a solution to assure the adjustment knob stays put. Great side and rear protection - much better than other helmets on the market. Sure it's heavier, but in my opinion the extra coverage and the ABS shell are worth it. Oddly, the helmet doesn't have a UIAA sticker on it. The UIAA test has a higher control limit than the CE test. But when you go on the UIAA site and look at certified helmets, it shows the Salamander as being certified. Like I said, odd.
I highly recommend the helmet. Just be ready to figure out a way to keep the dial parts together.

I'm looking for book recommendations on a couple different topics.
First, I'm wanting a "daddy book" for DH. Something easy to read, low reading level. DH can read perfectly fine, he just doesn't like to.
I'm also wanting to get a parenting book, maybe a book that goes over multiple theories or methods. Something well rounded.
Last one, I promise - breastfeeding. I'm wanting to breastfeed DS but since I'm a FTM, the extent of my knowledge on the topic ends at "stick 'em on the boob". So something "intro level" and easy to understand.
Thanks in advance!

It would be hard to conjure a more impressive beginning for Intrepid North America than the one the outfit has produced in its first three months. Two wins at the Pan American Challenge Championship event, two wins at SKUSA SuperNationals, and now a brilliant one-two finish in the Karter Division at the Red Bull Kart Fight at PRI, powered by Rotax. Add to the facts the results come from tracks that could not be more different, and Intrepid North America has made a very strong statement for both its team and its product line.
Its been an incredible three months for Intrepid North America, thats for sure, said team President Marco Di Leo from the PRI paddock. Im very happy and I think were all very happy and satisfied with the effort so far and the results that its been producing. To succeed at three such top-level events in America is truly amazing. And to think weve had a long track on Mojo tires, a temporary track on MGs, and now a 14-second show track on Bridgestone tires and weve been on the top step of the podium at all three. It speaks volumes for the quality of the Intrepid brand, and certainly keeps everyone in the team motivated and looking forward to the next big event.
Held at the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show in Orlando, Florida, in front of thousands of racing professionals from around the globe, the Bull Ring was lined with spectators from start to finish, and had a 2500 seat grandstand filled to capacity. After Intrepid North America took four of the top five spots in the Karter Division prefinal, Bas Lammers, Daniel Formal, Ben Cooper and Di Leo himself each dialled in for a 40-lap final in a field that also included five-time World Champion Davide Fore and reigning KZ World Champion Jonathan Thonon among a star-studded list of thirty drivers.
Lammers led an Intrepid North America 1-2-3 from the wave of the green, and it may well have stayed that way were it not for a lapped kart parking him in the barriers at half distance. Formal and Cooper then raced Intrepid and Praga free and clear of the rest, and mere minutes later the pair owned the podium.
Everything was just prefect, Formal said in his trackside interview following the win. The kart started getting a little loose at the end, and I saw Ben coming in the shadows, but everything was just great! I cant wait now to go out with the All-Stars!
The top eight finishers in the Karter Division joined the back of the field in the All-Star race with Formal, Cooper and Di Leo transferring for Intrepid North America. The field was twenty-three karts deep with the transferred karters looking to charge through the likes of NASCAR drivers AJ Allmendinger and Cole Whitt, and full-time IndyCar drivers James Jakes, Alex Tagliani, Ryan Briscoe and EJ Viso, who was driving for Intrepid and had earned pole position earlier in the day. Cooper managed the traffic best aboard his Praga kart and was almost instantly inside the top ten. Viso raced third until he was hung out by a lapped kart, and by the closing stages the pair were fighting for the final step on the podium, Cooper taking it, producing another strong result. Viso was fourth and Formal eighth in the final order, still riding high from his earlier win.

About Duke TSA
Duke Taiwanese Student Association (TSA) was started a few years ago with the goal of uniting the Taiwanese and Taiwanese American undergraduate students at Duke University. Since then, we have expanded from a scattered group of a few individuals to a much larger, social circle. We work toward promoting the Taiwanese culture among Duke students as well as providing some comfort for those far away from home. We enjoy celebrating traditional holidays such as Moon Festival, Lunar New Year, and Dragon Boat festival with the typically associated foods like moon cakes, hot pot, and bamboo leaf rice pyramids. We also love singing karaoke and playing Taiwanese games like Taiwanese Monopoly and Mah Jong (麻將). Furthermore, Duke TSA is very active in the Duke community, participating in the annual International Food Festival and Springternational, as well as collaborating with other Duke groups such as the Singapore, Hong Kong, and Korean Student Associations. Duke TSA maintains a close relationship with the graduate TSA and often plan joint events in Taiwan and at Duke. Currently, we are working towards expanding the range of activities presented by TSA. We want to promote educational and political events, bringing speakers to Duke to hold discussion panels and film screenings. Duke TSA would also like to play a role in creating a network among the Taiwanese Americans in the North Carolina Triangle Area as well as in the South, including other colleges like Emory and Georgia Tech. After planning the largest Taiwanese student conference on the East Coast in February, we have a new energy that we hope will give TSA more of a presence on campus and in the community.
