Just caught up with your video attempt w/ voice-over. It looks good! IMHO I think you've chosen a good set of clips but the transitions could be smoother. Look for similarities between end and beginning frames and then mess around with different kinds of transitions.
The voice overs were fine except the "Style" of voice seemed to change a couple times. It's really hard to keep the style consistent unless you're doing all the takes in one sitting...which is not so easy especially if you're writing and correcting the script as you go.
Probably one of the biggest and most overlooked parts in video editing is the sound. Sounds is a super important part of video that many people don't realize because it's so spatial. Instead of having the sounds hard cut from one clips to another, play with the "cross-fade" transition in Premiere. This will help blend the sound transistions and make the sound-track more seamless.
Another sound problem...which is killer on a hand-cam...is leveling the sound of a subjects spoken audio. Although it's a bit of extra work, razor the in/out of each spoken segment on the live audio track and do an "auto-gain" on just that clip. Some of may come up a full 16db or so. Fade those into the surrounding clips and see if it makes a difference in impact.
Otherwise, I thought it was a good job and I'm sure you learned A LOT in the process. How long did it take?

The village had a low wall all around it with a portal/gate in the wall. It wouldn't really keep people out, but it served to delineate the village and maybe kept animals out. Amiga went to the gate and spoke with the folks hanging around the gate while I kept a respectful distance with our noisey little bike, turned it off and sat and waited. After a while, Amiga walked back to me and told me that they were going to talk to the village leader. A while later he came out and talked to Amiga for a while. She explained everything we had experienced up to that point and that we were here to continue on our project of interviewing and photographing people. Cesar was actually supposed to be here by this time to introduce us, but he was nowhere to be found. In any case, the fellow allowed us to stay in the village. They unlocked the gate, I drove the motorbike through and he showed us a spot to put the bike and a room in one of the huts where we could sleep. We decided to just pitch our tent in front of the hut instead. We were not, however, allowed to take photos. That was a real pity because the village is like something out of another era. 30 or 40 thatched-roofed houses with mud and stick (wattle and daub) walls. We were welcome to stay until they reached a decision on whether or not to allow us to take photos. In the meantime, no photos or videos of the village.
Since there was a creek nearby, of course the first thing Amiga did was to jump in:
On the way back from the creek, we ran into Amiga's friend Rogelio. He was the other Arhuaco that she met at the Global Indigenous Dialogue in Switzerland:
We had no idea he was here and she had not been able to contact him previously to let him know we were coming. Needless to say it was a flurry of hugs, smiles and reminiscing.
Another reason we had chosen this time to be here was because this was the time of one of the meetings of all the leaders of the Arhuaco people. "Parliament was in session". We were welcome to go wherever we wanted, including their sessions. It was surreal to be in a large, dark room with just a bit of light coming in from small windows, full of Arhuaco leaders speaking in their language and deciding on various political and social issues. We were also welcomed to eat with them at mealtimes.
At one point, they asked us to address the leaders with our request and reasons for being here. Unfortunately neither Cesar or his father had shown up, so we were on our own. I did my pitch in English which Amiga translated to Spanish and one of the leaders translated to Arhuaco. Then Amiga did her pitch in Spanish.
Coincidentally there was another fellow there from the Discovery Channel who was also seeking permission to do some filming. He also pitched his case. The whole process took well over an hour. It was odd to be sitting there as they discussed our request in Arhuaco for what seemed like ages. Every now and then we'd here our names rise to the surface of a the steady stream of Arhuaco. Eventually we were told we could leave and that they'd let us know after speaking with their Mamos.
That night was perfectly clear with a full moon and quite chilly. Our thermarests had both taken a hit and weren't holding air, so we had hardly any insulation from the ground. The rocks were colder than a brass toilet seat on the shady side of an iceberg. Needless to say, we didn't have a great night and woke up (ahem) grumpier than normal.
This spiraled down into our first (ahem) disagreement of the trip. A little time on our own was in order. I headed up the valley while Amiga headed down the valley. I was sitting by the creek thinking about life when this little guy came up to me and started chatting:
He was fishing in the creek:
He simply had a fishing line with a hook on the end wrapped around a tin can. He would swing the lure in a circle and then let it fly as the fishing line spun off the can. He didn't catch anything and must have been getting bored. We chatted a while as he explained things about the area. He was curious about my camera, so I let him take a couple photos. Here is one of them.:
I think the kid's got talent!
In the meantime, Amiga was letting off her half of the steam at the other end of the village. She visited the local school and chatted with the teachers. A mural on the wall of the school depicts the dual worlds in which the Arhuaco find themselves.:
It says that "Sometimes those things which threaten our existence have in their hands the possibility to prolong our existence indefinitely" (approximate translation)
There has also been a dictionary developed of the Arhuaco language:
A while later once we had "desteamed" we hooked up all was cool once again. (back down to DEFCON 5)
We took the opportunity to sit down with Rogelio and video him as he related his take on the place in history in which the Arhuacos currently find themselves:
That day the leaders walked to another part of the valley to confer with the Mamos. We awaited their decision...

Hey Cal
im heading down to medellin in august for 2 weeks , my wife is from there , going to meet the inlaws for the first time . i was thinking of renting a car and driving from medellin to cartegena . now i have been discouraged from doing this because its unsafe to travel cross country by vehicle well infact i have been told im crazy for even going down there .....how did you find getting around down there ,, any suggestions?

Oh I envy you... Medellin is an amazing city! Make sure to take the metro and head up on the MetroCable to the shanty towns to appreciate the transformation that's going on in the city. Your inlaws will be able to tell you all about the previous mayor and the incredible turnaround that he was able to orchestrate. And make sure you get up into the plateau area near the new airport and explore around there. Guatape is a beautiful place near an gorgeous reservoir. And if you get a chance, head down to Manizales and to the hot springs at Santa Rosa de Cabal.
Now, regarding safety... Depends who's discouraging you... If the locals (your inlaws) are saying "don't do it" then I would pay attention. If it's people who get their view of the world from Fox and CNN, then I'd say ignore them.
We found all of the main highways we travelled to be safe and well-patrolled by army and police. The police and army treated us with the utmost kindness and respect and we were never hit up for any bribes. The main highways have police/army checkpoints every 20-50 km.
When we were there, everyone was more concerned about the traffic than anything else. However, if you get into a dodgy area you'll start to get a "feeling" that something just isn't quite right. Pay attention to it. I don't know where it comes from, but I think the subconscious somehow quickly creates an image of what constitutes "OK" in the environment you're in. You'll probably find that for the first few days, everything seems a bit unnerving until your mind starts building a "pattern". Then you'll calm down and feel fine until that "feeling" hits you when you subconscious detects something that doesn't fit the "OK" pattern. Striking Viking mentions having this feeling as well just before his misadventures began.
We felt it a couple times when we intentionally went into the back country. We knew that something was just "different". Although we couldn't point to anything specific, both of us got it loud and clear.
That being said, we rode the bike from Bogota to the north coast then down to Cartagena and then to Medellin via Sincelejo (direct route) and the tooled around the Andes for a while (Manizales etc.) before heading back to Bogota. Take advantage of the police and army to ask questions if you plan to head into back country. Your wife will be an amazing asset since she's local (believe me...). And you'll be treated like a celebrity as soon as you're away from the main centers. Not a lot of tourists travelling around.
I know you'll love it! You can drive up to Cartagena in 1 long day. It's nice to stay in the old city. Lonely planet has some nice recommendations for various budget levels. Plan to spend a least a couple full days in the city. Head up to the city wall during sunset to watch it across the ocean. (buy an ice cream from a local vendor!)
Oh, and regarding traffic. It all seems a bit chaotic at first, but somehow once you understand the game, it's all good. Main thing is don't be impatient when you're crawling up a mountain behind a semi. The locals will pass uphill around a blind corner... but they usually don't get that much further ahead anyways.
Take care and feel free to PM me if you want any more info.

Meeting on housing proposal is tonight
Second chance for residents to give comments
Neighbors of a proposed low-income housing complex off Wooldridge and Rodd Field roads have another chance to comment to the Corpus Christi Housing Authority during a 7 p.m. meeting today at Barnes Elementary School, 2829 Oso Parkway.
More than 200 people crowded into Wooldridge Place Nursing Center on March 29 to protest the planned Royal Palms Garden, a $15.5 million low-cost apartment complex planned for 7442 Wooldridge.
Neighbors raised concerns about overcrowding schools, increased traffic and crime rates, and a lowering of property values if the 200-unit complex is built.
Several requested another meeting to get comment from people who couldn't enter the room because it was crowded with neighborhood residents.
The Housing Authority officials pointed out that the area is zoned for multi-family housing and said increases in traffic and school attendance would come with any apartment building.
Priscilla Waller, chairwoman of the authority's board, said today's meeting won't have any new information on the project but is another chance for residents to be heard.
"We intimated at the other meeting that we would set up another meeting, and we didn't want to renege on that," she said.

Rod Stewart, Wife Expecting Another Baby
Stewart has five other children from previous relationships, in addition to a 4-year-old son, Alastair, with Lancaster.
Last year, Stewart told the British press that he and his third wife, 38, were hoping to add more children to his brood.
"Yes, we're trying -- we actually tried last night!" Stewart exclaimed on the British talk show GMTV. "One more and then we're going to close the office."
The joys of fatherhood appeal to the British-born rock legend. "He's just a sweet kid at the moment," said the adoring dad of his son Alastair.
Stewart and Lancaster wed in Portofino, Italy, in 2007.
It's a girl!
Bethenny Frankel of the 'Real Housewives of New York City' gave birth to a baby girl on May 8, 2010. Bryn Hoppy was born at 8AM in New York City and weighed 4 lb. 12 oz.

65 is too old to be fathering children. These Hollywood types have to realize that the men have an "expiration date" too!

I think it is great to see that today people dont look at age the way they used to, they do not feel old , they still have the courage to love and to make thinsg happen. and if they have the means to have another child then thats wonderful news.
I once met a lady 92 years old that still had a boyfriend ,I really admire their strenght to live . Life is beautiful and age is in our head . Thank God for change in times and in mentalities.

In the movie "Moonstruck," Mrs. Castorini asks Johnny Cammareri why men cheat. "I don't know," he says, "maybe they're afraid of death." Mrs. Casgtorini exclaims "That's it, that's the reason." Same with old men having kids. They don't want to be a grandpa, that sounds too old and to close to death. So they father kids and think they're young. Sorry Rod, ol' buddy, ol' sock (ol' man), "you're gonna die, just like the rest of us," as Rose Castorini so delicately put it. Only thing is, you're gonna leave behind a young son or daughter without a dad.

As part of measures to avert the spread of the deadly ebola virus disease, no fewer than 59 contacts of the late Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian patient who died of the disease recently in Lagos, have been placed on close surveillance.
The Lagos State commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, who disclosed this at a press briefing held in conjunction with Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) officials at the Staff Clinic in Alausa, said there was no cause for alarm.
According to him, "So far, a total of 59 contacts have been registered, consisting 44 hospital contacts, 38 healthcare workers and six laboratory staff and 15 airport contacts comprising three Economic Communities of West African States (ECOWAS) staff driver, liaison and protocol officer, Nigerian ambassador to Monrovia, two nursing staffers and five airport passenger handlers.
"As of the time of this report, 20 contacts had been physically screened, of which 50 percent had type one contact and 50 percent had type two contacts."
The commissioner lamented that the manifest of the Asky Airline Flight No KP50 that brought the victim into the country has not been provided by the airline at the time of this report, saying the precise number of passenger contacts is yet to be ascertained.
He pointed out that two flights were involved (Monrovia-Lome and Lome-Lagos), noting that there was no report of medical incident filed.
Harping on case management, infection prevention and control, he said an isolation ward has been designated by the Lagos State Ministry of Health at the Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba for case management.
According to him, "The designation of three other health facilities is underway. A total of 100 Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)s were procured by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) under the FMOH and distributed to the private hospital and the State Ministry of Health. World Health Organisation also donated 250 PPEs to the NCDC/FMOH.
"Adhering strictly to World Health Organisation guidelines, the body of the deceased patient was decontaminated using 10% sodium hypochlorite and cremated, with the permission of the government of Liberia. A cremation urn has been prepared for dispatch to the family. The vehicle that conveyed the remains was also fully decontaminated."
Recognising the importance of involving the community early in the response, he said traditional and religious leaders were alerted about the disease and requested to report promptly to health care workers.
He emphatically reiterated that, "We can categorically state that as of today, we have only one case of imported Ebola and one death. No Nigerian is infected but all contacts are being actively followed.
We call on all Nigerians to be calm and not panic and do hereby assure them that both the state and federal governments are up in arms to ensure that the virus did not escape and that no Nigeria is infected with it."

Review quote
"Well organized, understandable, and a quick read, this text is an excellent resource... The book is very affordable, especially considering its value in everyday practice." - "Radiology - October 2007" "The current edition has been updated to include hybrid imaging using SPECT/CT and PET/CT. The text covers a full range of nuclear medicine related subject; including instrumentation, radiopharmaceuticals, clinical applications and safety. The updating has brought the text to cutting edge regarding tthe range of clinical proceduresand also includes aspects of radiotherapy in nuclear medicine...the text is lavishly illustrated with a large number of clinical images showing a range of pathologies. Also included are very useful summary tables and 'Pearls and Pitfalls' sections that provide practical advice for different imaging techniques...Overall this is an excellent book with a wide range of coverage that would be of use to clinicians and radiographers/ technologists working in nuclear medicine. I t would be suitable as a reference both for masters level and for final year undergraduates. It would also be of use for anyone studying nuclear medicine at registar level." Radiology, Oct 2012 "The? cases presented were very interesting an d illustrations were of the highest quality. I appreciated the 'pearls and pitfalls' section at the end of each chapter, which were clearly presented and formed good summaries of the key points of each chapter... So, on the final could I invest ?83.99, a definite and resounding yes, if I wanted an excellent written book which will provide a clear and broad review of the essentials of clinical nuclear medicine..." RAD, November 2012 "This is a high-quality introductory book in nuclear medicine that is comprehensive enough to serve as a reference for practitioners, without being too long or too detailed. This book includes revisions that reflect the significant advances in the field in the last six years."- Bennett Greenspan, MD, MS (Medical College of Georgia) 5 star Doody Rating!

What is causing and/or how can I fix this one-pixel-wide line that appears around the edge of my object?
I am attempting to create a candle flame, and have created a deformed sphere with Opacity Strength parameter (set to 46% during this test) and a point light inside it.
The flame will be used for candles very far away from the camera as well as a few slightly closer.
The screenshot on the left is the object close up. you can see there is a either an extra white line around the outside of the object, or a transparent line just inside the outer edge. It looks a little weird, but not horrible.
The screenshot on the right is the same object seen way in the distance (blown up so you can see it, it's only about 11 pixels across.) The same white or transparent line around the edge can be seen, however in this case since this defect remains 1 pixel wide, it now completely destroys the shape, putting huge black lines into the distant candleflame.

Visual Commerce – Content + Commerce Evolved
By Jeri Kelley - Commerce Product Strategy-Oracle on Jun 25, 2015
Unlike a lot of folks around my age who are migrating toward city living and fighting a move to the suburbs, my husband and I recently took the opposite approach. With a toddler, a massive dog, and a baby on the way, we made the decision to pick up our life in Boston and move to a more laid-back (read: less expensive) place to call home - Montana. There have been many positives to the move, but one major downside is the lack of local retail options I'd become accustomed to in Boston. I've always been a big fan of shopping online for items such as clothes and make-up but I was use to being able to go into a store to touch and feel bigger purchases – like furniture, sporting equipment, etc.
As if the move wasn't complex enough, we purchased a home that needs a complete renovation. If you've ever gone down the renovation path, you know it requires lots of imagination, creativity, and of course new, big purchases – everything from cabinets to light fixtures to furniture. How was I going to do this with the limited options of physical retailers in my area? Luckily, a lot of brands are taking the next step with their online sites to improve the experience, but I was surprised by how many brands still don't incorporate anything more than standard product shots to help shoppers make decisions.
In my quest for the perfect new purchases for my house I started thinking a lot about the types of experiences brands are offering to bring their products to their customers so they can visualize how the product looks, feels, and functions while shopping online. I want to see what that new couch will look like in my living room, know how the motion activated on/off feature of the facet works…you get the picture. The term visual commerce is used often to describe this type of content or experience but what does that actually mean?[Read More]

"One of the better ones I've heard"
It's the TRUTH
See above
Yes but it would take a very long one sitting. Gen-Rev is a very long sit.
For me this has been the best audio Bible so far.
It's not the "dramatic rendition" that some are. It allows you to decide the emotions that are being felt by those on the scene. For me that's important. For instance my version of John the baptist may not be like others.
If your looking for dramatic this is not it. If you want to hear a good reader read you the Bible consistently the same without being dry. This is it.
Suzzanne Schnabel
"Navigation is impossible"
The reading is good. The scripture must be narrated according to punctuation - like all reading it's key to understanding. This recording is, for the most part, true to the punctuation. However, the primary fault is navigation -- selecting what you want to listen to. You really don't know where you are in the book. It's most annoying.
This question is irrelevant to this book in my opinion.
Again, irrelevant IMO.
Yes, I've watched most of the Bible movies.
The reading is good.
@natesrandomisms Believer (27yrs), Husband (15yrs), Dad (3yrs), Son (35yrs), Broken neck survivor.
"Listening brings peace....."
No sound effects or music.
How can you just pick one character.
Act 2:38
This was a good production of the Bible.
"Icons not identifiable - cannot go from Genesis on"
Price is its good point.
I bought it because of price and his performance.
Since the book downloads in multiple icons there should be a way to know which books of the Bible are covered by each icon!
"Best audio - just the plain truth"
The is the best audio bible I've heard. No drama with background noise. No English accent as though I were listening to an opera. Just well narrated.
It does is not "better" than the print version, but it did allow me to listen to the whole book in just a few days, while I did other things (especially through a lot of the Old Testament). Now I can go back and study the books/sections in print that I need/want to study. It was nice to review the whole book again though.
My only preference would have been that it be broken up into some smaller pieces. Sometimes I would not turn off my mp3 player completely and it would play to the end or when the battery died (this long!). Luckily I know the story so I knew how far to rewind it, but that might not be the case for everyone. The sound quality is excellent. I have impaired hearing so I appreciate that the sound was clear and not muffled like some audio books I've listened to.
uh.. let me think.. hm..Jesus? Yes.. I think so. But God was an important contributing character.. :-)
"In the beginning..."
Yes.. "He" often makes me laugh and sometimes cry. God has a sense of humor.
Loved the book. Great narrator!
Bob Souer did an excellent job. His voice has a relaxed vocal pitch that makes you listen for hours. Thank you Audible.
Do not like that the titles of the Books in the Bible are not on the front cover of the audible books. Enjoyable to listen too, clear voice.
Served two combat tours in Vietnam all along the DMZ with the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS from there was selected for Marine Barracks 8th & I
"The Holy Bible"
i found that the audio version is far better then to sit and read the Bible as I felt I got more out of it
It is the word of God as spoken by man
I don't beleve I had a favorite
The whole bible is moving
"NKJV easy listen"
Going through the bible more than once is important because the 2nd time or 3rd time you learn more. This audio bible is so easy to follow and understand and read perfectly.
It's the Bible
You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." ― C.S. Lewis
"Clearly voiced audio bible"
Clearly anunciated and very easy to follow audio bible. With no added music or special effects. I just lay back and let the words flow over me untill i find peaceful sleep.
I still think the TNIV bible is the best voiced bible but this one runs a close second. And the NKJV is a better translation.
Pure truth for all who can hear.

Thompson Square's Tour Bus Involved in Crash
Thompson Square's band and crew were onboard a bus involved in a frightening crash on Friday morning (April 17). The accident happened in Aurora, Colo., and at least a dozen people were injured.
Thompson Square's band and crew were onboard a bus involved in a frightening crash on Friday morning (April 17). The accident happened in Aurora, Colo., and at least a dozen people were injured.
Some of country's top stars and up-and-comers took time out from their busy schedules this Halloween to celebrate with some cool, creative costumes and even share some pictures with fans via social media.
The final day of the Taste of Country Music Festival included a rowdy set from Hank Williams Jr., and more polished performances from newcomer Chase Rice, and Vocal Duo of the Year winner Thompson Square.
Performances from Kenny Rogers and Corey Smith, a surprise from one-third of Lady Antebellum, and an all-star version of 'Wagon Wheel' were amongst the many highlights at Darius Rucker's fifth annual charity concert for St. Jude on Monday night (June 2).
Thompson Square are a double addition to the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival. The husband and wife duo -- who are lucky in love and music -- and will be playing their relationship-fueled songs June 13-15, 2014 at Hunter Mountain, New York.
Nine new artists have just been added to the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival lineup, which already included Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Brantley Gilbert.
We're beyond excited to announce that Randy Houser, Thompson Square, Craig Morgan, Thomas Rhett, Tyler Farr, Charlie Worsham, Chase Rice, Blackjack Billy and Gwen Sebastian have been added to the lineup for the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival! They join already-announced Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Brantley Gilbert for the second annual country festival at Hunter Mountain. Oh, and there's still more lineup surprises on the way!
All of you know that Chad and I LOVE Thompson Square! The song 'Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not' is OUR song. We've sung it together at home, at gigs and, heck, he proposed to me with the song! Even bought me the book for my birthday!
They are a fantastic duo. You should have seen us watching the CMA Award Show when it came time for Duo of the Year. When they mentioned Thompson Square as a nominee, Chad threw his hands in the air and and said "YES!" Unfortunately, they didn't win.
We practice in our home a lot: New songs, old songs, duets, originals. And we love doing it together! So when we just sang this song for fun, we had no idea that they would actually see us perform it!
When fans hear that Thompson Square just canceled their Tampa, Fla. concerts, they may think that Keifer Thompson had another vocal hemorrhage.
My birthday was Sunday and I told Chad I didn't need anything for my birthday but cake and family. And that's exactly what I got...and a couple other things.
But the final gift didn't come until yesterday. And I am so glad it did!

This was so easy and fast. It tasted real good too! Thanks for a fast recipe!!!
Thanks for posting Laurie. These were good for indoors and easy and quick. The only thing was that the marshmallows puffed up so much at 9 seconds I had to stop then and the chocolate didn't melt well at the same time that I had to take them out for the marshmallows. Next time I will melt the chocolate separately on the other graham cracker so I can control the time of each. The kids enjoyed them and it was a fun indoor treat. I made as written but the marshmallows stuck to the paper towel so I moved batch #2 to a plate. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy! ChefDLH
Not quite the same as doing over an open campfire but the next best thing. The grandkids loved them!!

Grave Warning
Funeral Director Concepción Rodriguez Scares Kids Straight with Her Tales of Untimely Death
Starting calmly, then turning passionate and tearful, Rodriguez, 42, spends the next hour stripping away the romance of gang life with its guns and bravado to reveal the grim consequences—from a video of young gang members who now are dead or in jail to a graphic description of the autopsy process on bullet-ridden corpses to a casket she has on display. It's a personal mission for Rodriguez, who, as an angry 16-year-old, proudly walked the streets as a member of the Lady Aces. "We were bad," she says. But when a close friend was gunned down in 1980, she re-evaluated her life. "I could retaliate and end up dead or in jail. Or I was going to live," recalls Rodriguez, now a married mom of three. In 1995 she joined the Zefran Funeral Home and began speaking at schools and community centers four years later. Now she visits about 10 a year.
Rodriguez's tough talk hits a nerve. "She was amazing," says Brenda Hernandez, 15, who attended the recent presentation and, just a few weeks later, shielded her niece from a hail of bullets. Hearing Rodriguez last year helped Fernando Cervantes, 17, choose college over his neighborhood gang. "I knew one person in the pictures," he says. "I don't want to be that person."

SEC Fearless Predictions, Week
Two, Part 2
SEC Game of
the Week
Virginia Tech
at LSU
Why to Watch: This
is the non-conference game we've been
waiting eight months for. It's a battle
between two of the best defenses in
America and two BCS Championship caliber
teams in a game that'll go a long way to
shaping the national title race.
Virginia Tech has to show that the
sluggish 17-7 win over East Carolina had
more to do with the weight and emotion
of the outside circumstances than the
potential problems on offense, while the
Tigers are looking for the type of early
season victory that would cement them in
the top two as long as they keep
winning. The defenses will be flying
around and doing lots and lots of
hitting in what should be a heavyweight
war for a full sixty minutes. It's a
who's who of star defensive players from
LSU's Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson, to
Virginia Tech's Vince Hall, Xavier Adibi
and Brandon Flowers, and it should be
your dream come true if you like low
scoring slugfests. It's also a dream
come true for everyone looking for great
Why Virginia Tech Might Win: As
long as the Hokies can win the turnover
battle, they have a shot. Mississippi
State didn't play all that poorly
against LSU, considering it was a 45-0
blowout, but it couldn't hang on to the
ball and it allowed the Tiger offense to
fire away from close range. The LSU
attack still needs to prove it can be
consistent, and if the Hokies don't
screw up, play ball control offense, and
force LSU to go on long drives, this
will be close throughout. Punter Brent
Bowden had a good opening day and should
do his part to pin the Tigers deep.
Why LSU Might Win:
The Virginia Tech offensive line
struggled against East Carolina's
defensive front, and LSU's is far
better. The Hokie formula has been to
play great defense, win the special
teams battle, and run effectively, but
LSU is all but certain to take RB
Branden Ore out of the equation and make
QB Sean Glennon try to win the game.
Glennon can be effective if he gets
time, but the LSU pass rush could be too
much for a Hokie line that gave up four
sacks last week.
Who to Watch: Call this a
validation game for two controversial
figures. Glennon started off his season
by throwing his first pass for an
interception, and then went 22 of 33 for
245 yards and a touchdown against East
Carolina. While he's been good at times,
he hasn't been consistent, and many see
him as the one piece of the puzzle
that's holding the Hokies back and
keeping them from being a true national
title contender. He needs to be razor
sharp in his decision making, and he has
to be absolutely sure on his throws
against a lightning fast Tiger D. For
LSU, new offensive coordinator Gary
Crowton has to prove to the Tiger
faithful that his attack can generate
points against a top flight defense.
While the Tigers put up 45 points on
Mississippi State, the offense was
hardly smooth and was helped by a D that
forced seven turnovers. Virginia Tech's
defense is good at making offenses look
bad, but if Crowton is the elite coach
he's supposed to be, the LSU offense
should still produce.
What Will Happen: The Hokies won
26-8 in Blacksburg in the first and only
meeting in 2002, but the Tiger program
has progressed by leaps and bounds since
then. The Tigers are a little better on
defense, and a lot better on offense, so
as long as they're patient and don't
give the Hokies any big breaks, they'll
come up with a tough, somewhat ugly win.

Saturday, Sept. 8
Alabama (1-0) at
Vanderbilt (1-0)
12:30 PM GamePlan
Why to Watch: The
second game of the Nick Saban
era might appear to be a
breather before facing showdowns
with Arkansas, Georgia and
Florida State, but this isn't
the same sort of Vanderbilt team
you're used to. The Commodores
are loaded with experience, and
has more talent than you might
think. After trouncing Richmond
41-17, this is a chance to make
the biggest home statement yet
under head coach Bobby Johnson,
and would likely mean a 4-0
start with Ole Miss and Eastern
Michigan to follow. For Alabama,
anything less than a relatively
easy win would send off panic
alarms. This might not be a
world-beater of a Tide team, but
there's more than enough talent
on both sides of the ball to be
a factor in the SEC race, even
if it's by picking off some of
the top teams. Bama has won 19
in a row over Vandy, with the
last loss coming in 1984, and a
loss this year would quickly
sour the Saban lovefest. Even in
rebuilding years, Alabama isn't
supposed to lose to Vanderbilt.
Why Alabama Might Win: Vanderbilt's
biggest issue all year will be
the secondary. It's not awful,
but it's certainly not going to
be the team's strength. Despite
a good showing against Western
Carolina last week, Bama's
offensive strength all season
long will be throwing the ball.
The O line did a great job in
week one, and it shouldn't have
too much of a problem with a
Commodore defensive front that's
not great at getting into the
backfield. Bama QB John Parker
Wilson should have all day to
Why Vanderbilt Might Win:
Will Alabama be able to pressure
Vandy QB Chris Nickson? Getting
to the quarterback on a
consistent basis was a problem
last year for the Tide, and
while Saban wants to turn up the
heat, he might not have the
players to do it against a good
offensive line like Vandy's that
can do just enough to give its
mobile quarterback time to
operate. Unlike last year when
Vandy lost 13-10, this is a more
balanced offense that likely
won't make as many mistakes.
Who to Watch: Coming into the
year, VU junior receiver Earl
Bennett was considering among
the best in the nation and an
All-America candidate by most,
and he did nothing to disappoint
against Richmond with 13 catches
for 223 yards and three scores.
Going back to last year, over
his last five games, including a
four-catch, 16-yard performance
against Tennessee, Bennett has
made 50 grabs for 800 yards and
six touchdowns. For Alabama, the
big story of the first week was
the ground game that cranked out
313 yards and six touchdowns led
by Terry Grant, who tore off 134
yards and three scores on 18
carries. He's a small, quick
back who might not be a
workhorse, but could be
extremely effective for
What Will Happen: Vanderbilt has
the type of team that could pull
off a win like this, and it
might if Nickson is hot and
there aren't a slew of
turnovers. However, the
Commodores won't generate enough
pressure to throw off John
Parker Wilson, and the expected
return of WR Keith Brown from
suspension to help out D.J. Hall
will tear up the VU secondary.

Final Score:
Carolina (1-0) at Georgia (1-0)
Why to Watch: Georgia
came up with a fantastic 35-14
opening day win over a dangerous
Oklahoma State team with the
type of weapons that can light
up just about anyone. The
defense was all over the field
and answered several early
questions, while the offense had
one of the best overall
performances in the young
Matthew Stafford era. Now the
real season begins for the Dawgs
in what could amount to an
elimination game in the SEC East
race. South Carolina overcame a
series of suspensions and a
bizarre end of the off-season to
beat UL Lafayette 28-14. With
LSU the next SEC date, the
Gamecocks can't afford to lose
here. Georgia won last year's
matchup 18-0 and has won five
straight and eight of the last
Why South Carolina Might Win: The
Gamecock linebacking corps, led
by Jasper and Casper Brinkley,
came up with a great first game
against UL Lafayette, and it
should be able to keep the
Georgia running game from
cranking out a huge day. While
the Ragin' Cajuns don't have
much in the way of a passing
game, the USC secondary had a
nice first game. It'll be tested
against an improved Georgia
receiving corps, but it likely
won't give up the big plays OSU
Why Georgia Might Win:
The Gamecock offensive line is
still a major work in progress.
It didn't have a great game
against an overmatched ULL
defensive front, and it should
get shoved all over the place,
and blown past, but a Georgia
defensive front seven that was
all over the place against the
Cowboys. Georgia can make plays
in the South Carolina backfield,
but South Carolina can't make
plays in the Georgia backfield.
Who to Watch: Who'll be under
center for South Carolina? Blake
Mitchell was suspended for the
season opener after cutting
classes, and while he'll be
coming in rusty, he'll likely be
the starter. Mitchell was solid
in the loss to Georgia last year
completing 16 of 22 passes for
156 yards, but he failed to
generate any points. If Steve
Spurrier changes his mind at the
last minute, it'll likely be up
to Tommy Beecher to take over
after Chris Smelley, the starter
against ULL, hurt his shoulder.
For Georgia, RB Thomas Brown ran
extremely well last week after
suffering a bad knee injury.
While he only ran for 48 yards,
he scored twice and showed
flashes of his old burst.
What Will Happen: Can Georgia
play well two weeks in a row?
Consistency could be a problem
for the relatively young team
that had to reload, but its
defensive pressure will make up
for other problems. It won't be
a pretty game, but it should be
a good defensive thriller for at
least three quarters.

Final Score:
Kent State
(1-0) at Kentucky (1-0)
6:00 PM GamePlan
Why to Watch: Don't
look ahead to Louisville ..
Don't look ahead to Louisville.
All Kentucky has heard about
ever since its offense made the
program relevant has been
Louisville. After years of
getting pounded by its in-state
rival, losing four straight
including an ugly 59-28 blasting
last year, UK fans are dying to
get the Cardinals in
Commonwealth next week. But
first, UK has to deal with a
sneaky-tough Kent State team
with a nice defense and a decent
running game. The Golden Flashes
spoiled Gene Chizik's debut at
Iowa State with a 23-14 win in
Ames, and they're not going to
be freaked out by going on the
road to face a BCS league team.
Why Kent State Might Win: It
can't be overstated; Kentucky's
head is firmly on the Louisville
game. Oh sure, the players and
coaches are all paying lip
service to Kent State, but the
media has started looking ahead,
and it's not letting UK forget
about it. Kent State's secondary
is good enough to keep the
high-powered UK passing game
from exploding, while the
running game is strong enough to
keep the Wildcat offense off the
Why Kentucky Might Win:
The Golden Flashes might be
solid, but they're not
explosive. If the Wildcats can
get up early and force KSU to
start throwing, this won't be
pretty, even though the UK
secondary is still suspect. To
pull off an upset like this, KSU
needs everything to go right,
and it'll be badly outplayed on
special teams and won't generate
enough pressure on Andre Woodson
to slow down the air show.
Who to Watch: Kent State has one
of the MAC's more interesting
backs in sophomore Eugene
Jarvis, a 5-5 speedster who can
be a surprisingly durable
workhorse. He ran for 113 yards
and a touchdown against Iowa
State, and will also have to be
worried about coming out of the
backfield in the passing game.
He needs to run 20 times or more
and keep the clock rolling. If
UK can shut him down, this
likely won't be a close game.
What Will Happen: Edelman will
keep KSU in the game for about a
half with a few brilliant plays
that'll make the UK fans shift
in their seats, and then Woodson
will come up with two big passes
and the Wildcats will pull away
in the third.

Final Score:
Troy (0-1) at
Florida (1-0) 6:00 PM
Why to Watch: The
defending national champions did
what they were supposed to do in
the opener against Western
Kentucky, winning 49-3, and now
there's a slight upgrade before
the showdown with Tennessee.
Troy has just enough of a
defense, and a good, veteran
quarterback in Omar Haugabook,
that it could provide a few
problems if Florida is already
mentally gameplanning for the
Volunteers, but it didn't show
much in the 46-26 opening day
loss to Arkansas. The defending
Sun Belt champions aren't just
going to roll over and give up
when they see the Gator uniforms
and could make this a ball game
for a little while.
Why Troy Might Win: While
the Trojans didn't necessarily
look like world-beaters against
Arkansas, they have a talented
defensive line and a great
secondary that'll provide a bit
of a push. Florida might be
ultra-talented and with superior
athleticism, but this is still a
very, very young team that's due
to start making some rookie
mistakes on both sides of the
ball. Even with the blowout win
over WKU, Florida's defense had
several missed tackles and
didn't play as well as Urban
Meyer would've liked.
Why Florida Might Win:
The speed of the Florida defense
should be too much for the
Trojans. Haugabook had a great
game against Florida State last
year, but he struggled with his
consistency and threw too many
interceptions. Against Arkansas,
he only completed 15 of 43
passes for 204 yards and a
touchdown, along with an
interception. The Gator pass
rush should have him on the move
all game long, while there
likely won't be any semblance of
a running game if the UF front
seven is focused.
Who to Watch: In search of a
consistent running game for a
few years, Florida might have
finally found its back to work
around in junior Kestahn Moore.
While not a superior talent, at
least compared to other, less
experienced options, he's a
plugger who ran for 91 yards and
two touchdowns against WKU and
will likely get the boatload of
the carries. The less running
Tim Tebow has to do early on,
the better.
What Will Happen: This will be
the type of game that Florida
wins in a walk, but does just
enough things wrong to get the
coaching staff yelling.
Haugabook will complete fewer
than half his passes and will
toss three picks that'll make a
close game a blowout.

A 24-year-old Sleepy Eye man is facing a felony drug charge in Brown County Court after getting caught with methamphetamine. Alex Michael Wellmann-Martinez made his first appearance in court this week on the 5th-degree possession charge. He also faces lesser charges. He was arrested at the Taco John's in New Ulm Sunday afternoon after police were called regarding a suspicious person with a knife or letter opener. While at the restaurant, officers reportedly spotted a bag of marijuana near Wellmann-Martinez, and several small knives and a machete were apparently lying in a nearby booth. When he was searched, police also reportedly found a small baggie of meth and an not-yet identified white crystalline substance, along with a pipe, a small spoon and a syringe. Wellmann-Martinez remains in custody in the Brown County Jail with bail set at $15,000.

Liberals found a way to fly with out wings. Their flights of fancy soar higher than any eagle.
Good plan.
i can see that you have already invented the gun… good going….
Go for the wheel first…. and then the bi-cycle… learn to pedal…. ! ! !
And they need prayers eventually, or they will never do things on a wing and a prayer.
Whine, whine, whine.
Its rather funny, the conservatives whine and whine about the Liberals but it has always been the Liberals who were the greatest influence in making our country great. They always ignore the fact that Jefferson, Lincoln, F.D.R. were all Liberals. In fact in the views of the world at the time even the most Conservative of our fore-fathers (Like Adams) were considered extreme Liberals.
"You are the wind beneath my wings!"
Or "Run, Forrest! Run!" then "Stop Forrest!"
Redkaycei Repoc: John or Samuel? Sam was so reactionary, he called Jefferson "that red-headed radical from the Piedmont".
You should be slapped for comparing our forefathers to the liberals of today. They are no longer trying to make our country great. They are trying to tear us down and make us into a third world country. They are espousing immorality and corruption. The liberals of today resemble more the socialists of Soviet Russia than the founding fathers of the United States. Obama may like to think that he is like Abraham Lincoln but he is more like Vladimir Lenin.
I think conservatives realize they are aligned with a dying party, and are desperately grasping at straws in order to survive. They will even stoop to posting comments in a comics forum.

New technology for screening for the presence of Barrett's Oesophagus has been developed. The technology combines a device which allows for easy and accurate harvesting of the desired site with an improved diagnostic tool.
Market opportunity
Social factors and an ageing population are causing the global incidence of Barrett's Oesophagus (Barrett's) to increase. It is estimated that 10% of patients with recurrent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) will progress to Barrett's. This equates to approximately 1-2% of the population. It has been estimated that there are approximately one million people in the USA with diagnosed pre-cancerous Barrett's.
Clinical Benefit
Current testing methods typically take 5 days and require to be conducted by experienced senior clinical staff plus dedicated pathology facilities; however results using this new technology can be obtained in twenty minutes via Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) techniques.
The sensitivity and specificity of the molecular markers have been demonstrated and offer an attractive alternative to the current biopsy technique; as well as being a potential tool for population screening or surveillance.

North Carolina state road 28, also known as Moonshiner 28, is one of the best twisty mountain roads anywhere. (Shhhh…don't tell anyone.) My Aunt Muriel's neighborhood conveniently empties onto it, and whether you turn south toward Georgia or north toward Tennessee, there are curves and switchbacks... Read more »

We were told by AAA service personnel that the replacement of distributor would be $700. Is this reasonable. We purchased a rebuilt distributor ourselves for $144.00.

2000 Honda Civic Question: Distributor replacement
Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, April 08, 2009, 19:36Master
The distributor itself is quite easy to replace on the Honda Civic and luckily enough it is right on top of the engine and can basically only go in one way. Remove the distributor cap on the new distributor, lubricate the rubber o ring on the lower distributor body where the distributor mounts into the cylinder head. Slide the new distibutor in where the old distributor was . Turn the ignition rotor a little so the dog drive/ driven gear engages the end of the camshaft and the distributor should seat fully int othe cylinder head with out any force. Tighten the 12 mm bolts that secure the distributor and reconnect the electrical connection. Locate the distributor in approximately the same position as the previous distributor was and the engine will start. You will then need a timing light to set the ignition timing.
Did the previous distributor fail electrically? Did the distributor seal fail or bearing fail?

A gender barrier will break at Thursday's Chargers game.
And that's just fine by the home team.
Shannon Eastin has been assigned to be the line judge at the Chargers' preseason opener against the Packers at Qualcomm Stadium. She'll become the first female official in the NFL's 92-year history.
Chargers players welcomed the notion Monday, referencing Violet Palmer.
In 1997, she and Dee Kantner debuted in the NBA, becoming the first female referees to work a major U.S. professional sports event. Palmer is currently the NBA's only female referee.
"If they're doing it in the NBA, why not the NFL?" fullback Le'Ron McClain said. "I think woman referees in the NBA are doing a great job, so I think it's a great idea, giving her the opportunity to be out there, calling football. It'll feel kind of weird seeing a lady out there, but I think she'll do a good job with it."
Eastin will be part of a replacement referee crew.
The NFL Referees Association has been in lockout since June due to an ongoing labor dispute with the NFL.
The 17th-year official worked the past four seasons in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, part of the NCAA Division I's Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Div. I-AA).
Eastin is a former world-class athlete in judo, earning six national championships.
"I think it really shows a step in the right direction," tight end Randy McMichael said of Eastin's assignment. "A woman is just as capable as a man to do anything."
No blackout
The Chargers announced Monday that enough tickets have been sold to lift the blackout for Thursday's exhibition opener.
Kickoff is at 5 p.m. at Qualcomm Stadium.
The game will be televised nationally on ESPN. A simulcast will be available on KFMB Channel 8.
Tickets remain on sale for the game.
Ingram flashes
The whole world ran to Melvin Ingram's left during a pass play at Monday's practice.
And still, the Chargers rookie outside linebacker didn't give chase.
He stayed at home on the back end, waited and waited, and sure enough, the offensive action came sprinting back toward him. Fullback Le'Ron McClain peeled off into the flat, and Ingram pounced, pursuing him in coverage to shut down what would've been an easy reception.
It was just one play in practice, but it's the kind of thing the Chargers have seen a lot of in training camp from their first-round draft pick, who's stood out with his athleticism, physicality and still-raw instincts.
The play got Chargers defensive coordinator John Pagano going.
"You see something like that, for a rookie to be able to see that," Pagano said, "because they kind of motioned the tight end out and it was more of a misdirection play. For him to ... see that type of stuff, that was impressive.
"He's a football player. That's what football players do. They can see football, they play football, and that's what it's about. It's cool. You just see the instincts in everything that he does. It's exciting to watch him work."
