53 year old man | Peoria, AZ, USA | Seeking women 40-55 within 20 miles
Looking for someone to share good times with and live life to its fullest. I love to laugh and make others laugh as well... LOL
Ok here we go! I don't know why this is so difficult. I have been on this site for only a month so maybe I'm doing something wrong. I have sent out a few e-mails and have not received many responses. a couple of women actually said they had met someone and wanted to see where it was going. I replied with good luck and I hope it works out for them. Maybe it's that I'm just too genuine of a guy and I tell it like it is. We are too old to play games and deal with drama. I am in a time of my life where I just want to spend quality time with someone. Hey if we meet and it doesn't work out great, good luck with your journey. I love to laugh hell who doesn't, and I love to make others laugh with me or at me I don't care as long as we are having fun. Isn't having fun what life should be about? I am single and not looking for a friend with benefits, or a one night stand. I'm looking for real people to have a great time and enjoy each other's company. Hey if it turns out to be more than that I'm all in. I would love nothing more than to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. Isn't that why we're all here. It's all part of the journey of life. WOW I was getting serious there for a second, see I can be when I need to be. Just a little about me, Google and spell check are my best friends next to my cell phone. If I lost my cell I would only be able to call my mom…LOL I truly believe that technology is making us dumber (to an extent not totally). I love technology but I guess I am still old fashioned when it comes to people. You can only tell a little bit about someone through e-mail and text. Talking to someone face to face and really get to see and feel there reaction is the only way to really see if that person is right for you. I know you all still remember what we did before all the computers and cell phones. We actually talked to one another. Anyways enough of my rambling, if you want to take a chance send me an e-mail and we can go from there. P.S. If I send you one please respond if only to say you're not interested, it's the polite thing to do. P.S.S. I wrote this in word, spell checked it then copied it on here…..LOL I am looking for an honest woman that likes to have fun. Not to serious about life, but can be when needed. Someone who enjoys a night out and staying home as well. I work a lot and looking for a reason not to. I love to watch sports and just started working out P90X Bring It LOL. I am open minded when it comes to just about anything. I am not looking to change anyone and not looking to be changed. I am who I am I like to live life and have fun. I do not get caught up in gossip and drama, the more drama free the better. I am just a easy going laid back kind of guy, that goes with the flow and has fun no matter what the situation.
Camping , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Auto racing / Motorcross, Basketball, Bowling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Swimming, VolleyBall
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs, Horses
I don't get out much so I don't really have a local hot spot. I do love to go to San Diego and hang out on the beach.
I like all kinds of music. I love action movies but hey what guy doesn't, I like other movies as well. I have watched both of the NCIS TV shows since the beginning and never miss an episode. I'm not really into reality TV except Deadliest Catch.
I love to golf, anything with water (except fishing), just about any sporting activity. I like to just go for a drive and see where I end up. I have only been to Vegas once and had a blast and would like to go again soon.
I don't have time to read much, mostly industry publications for now.

At age 25, Laura Sanko was a founding member of a startup that raised $3.5 Million from some world-famous investors and the Founder's Fund. The business model was simple: a website that rented high-end jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the retail value of each piece. Three years later, the investment money was all gone and while the site continued to operate, it had failed to meet the investors' expectations.
This entrepreneur attributes his success to a philosophy built on persistence, creativity, and a penchant for asking, "Why not?" His path as an entrepreneur is rooted in creative, out-of-the-box market research capabilities.
Completely understanding your market allows you to confidently approach any customer, potential partner, or investor. This entrepreneur and angel investor outlines a five-step process for knowing breadth and depth of the market landscape.
This entrepreneur and former banking executive shows how she used market research to discover the opportunity for an unexpected new venture. She researched ways around obstacles, identified solutions, and stayed creative--until one day, she found herself at the helm of a very successful business.
Your basic business strategy and product plan needs to be rooted in an understanding of what it takes beat the competition. To do so, this author says you must have a realistic understanding of what you are up against, and he lays out a method to do smart market research.
Understanding your industry, competitors, and customers is necessary for any entrepreneur. Primary research helps gather specific data, but secondary market research is also helpful. This article outlines fundamental, secondary research resources, which are either accessible online or at your local library.
While it is true that large companies always can afford full market research programs, entrepreneurs running growing companies should know there is a vast array of data and information that can be obtained at little cost and time.
Market research results can help an entrepreneur change company behavior. To that end, this author recommends a ten-step plan for tapping the power of focus groups to conduct research that is immediately actionable.

Smoke Free, stop smoking help
★ See how long you've been smoke free
★ The money you've saved from not smoking
★ The number of cigarettes you've not smoked
★ How your health is improving
★ Earn badges for your progress
★ Share your successes with your friends
★ Record your cravings in a diary
★ And more
This is the app that science built. Proven techniques to help you stop smoking are delivered in a beautifully clear and very human way. The calculator tells you how much money you've saved and how many cigarettes you've not smoked, the calendar tells you how long you've been smoke free and how much life you've regained, bars show you how giving up smoking is improving your health, and a diary shows how your cravings for cigarettes are decreasing over time. Plus filling it out seems to help, even if you only use it to vent.
Filling it out also helps us, because this is the app that science is building. If you give us permission, we'll use the information you give us to learn how to help even more people stop smoking. As you know, quitting smoking is hard. But tens of thousands of people do it successfully each month (especially if that month is Stoptober). We want to know more about what works and what doesn't and your data can help future quitters quit.
The quit process
Here's what we know so far. The science is pretty clear that nicotine replacement therapy helps people stop smoking. But it needs to be taken as directed (many people don't complete the course) and that means it's best if you get it from your doctor rather than the pharmacist. But don't worry if you don't want to use NRT, this is your quit, you do what works for you. The other golden rule about giving up smoking is to make your mantra 'not one more puff'. Because one puff almost always leads to more and you're soon back smoking again. It doesn't seem to matter how much confidence you've got about quitting and nor does it matter if you plan your quit ahead or quit or the spur of the moment. The social support you get from programs such as Stoptober are helpful but what really seems important is getting a real understanding of how much progress you've made, all the benefits you gain from giving up smoking and all that you'd have to lose by starting smoking again. Giving you that is the core way this app hopes to keep you smoke free.
Electronic cigarettes
E-cigs seem to help lots of people stop smoking. The ones that look like cigarettes seem less effective than ones you get from specialist vape shops. They also seem pretty safe, much safer than smoking cigarettes. However, we don't have much long-term evidence so it's probably best to use them as a way to stop smoking, rather than a replacement for cigs.
The experiment
We're running an on-going experiment that tests different things to help people give up smoking. Everyone gets all the features mentioned above, the calculator that shows how many cigarettes you've not smoked, the calendar that tells you how long you've been smoke free, the bars that show how your health has improved from giving up smoking.
Some people will get additional features. We can't tell you what they are, partly because it might invalidate the experiment, partly because they change frequently. Don't feel you're missing out though. We don't know if these things will help people stop smoking, we just want to learn whether they do. Don't worry that they'll want to make you smoke more either. We would never try anything we thought might make people more likely to smoke.
This is all entirely voluntary and you can use the app fully without taking part in the experiment. Your data will be kept anonymous and you can delete it at any time. But we really hope you take part because everyone who does will help the quitters who follow. So do yourself a favour by stopping smoking. And do your fellow smokers a favour by helping them understand how it's done.

Quit smoking slowly
We're all aware of bad things that cigarettes are causing, and if you decided to stop smoking - this is application for you to become smoke free.
Quit smoking slowly application can be your truly companion in process of quit smoking - it can help you slowly reduce the amount of cigarettes per day, keep your cessation stress, nicotine cravings in normal and let you body adapt to less cigarettes daily, until you completely stop smoking. This way can let you accommodate with non-smoker life again, what you used to be, before you began smoking.. But the most important thing is your willingness to stop smoking and if you have it- install this application and use it.
Enjoy easier breathing by no smoking
How it works?
For example, if you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, that means that you smoke a cigarette approximately every 42 minutes (with hypothesis that you sleep 8 hours a day). After that it will calculate how much you need to extend that period over a time to stop smoking in desired time. After setting initial parameters, hit the green screen when you smoke the cigarette.
When screen is green, you can smoke. Enough of time has passed from the last cigarette. Click to record you smoked and wait for the screen to go green again.
When screen is red, you should not smoke. Try with Tips if it's hard. If you didn't make it - tap and hold the red screen for 3 seconds. Try harder next period, and don't break the maximum amount of cigarettes for the day.
Why should you try this method?
Smoking is a habit. Quitting smoking it's not very simple, but we're all aware of the fact that we should go no smoking way. This app provides method that is different from just saying I won't smoke anymore, because that's really hard. Reduction of nicotine, and stress from no smoking are here coming in small doses.
Hypothesis here is that with this smaller portions of nicotine turkey and need for cigarette it is easier to adapt on life without cigarette and then completely quit smoking.
Remember: willingness to quit smoking is most important. Take those small amounts of nicotine stress and habit change every day and his app will help you to adapt on non-smoking life. You can do it! :-)

Exceedingly Rare 1863 Proof Quarter Eagle1863 PR 64 PCGS. The 1863 and 1841 quarter eagles are the two foremost rarities in the entire Coronet quarter eagle series. Of the 1863, none were struck for circulation purposes and only 30 proofs were coined. Of that number it has been variously estimated that survivors number between a low of 10-12 pieces (Akers) to as many as 18 (Breen). Whomever one chooses to believe, very few examples of this date exist in any condition, and some 6-9 pieces are impaired. (And speaking of impaired, the Norweb coin was only graded PR 45). All coins were struck from a single pair of dies on March 23 of that year.
The surfaces of this piece exhibit a slight haziness from having been lightly wiped at one time, the evidence of which is almost exclusively seen on the obverse. According to the most recent population data available (1/99) as this is cataloged, the combined staffs of both PCGS and NGC have only certified 3 other pieces in PR 64 with 2 coins in a higher grade, both PR 65. (NGC ID# 287H, PCGS# 7889)

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals coach: Learning to play inside will help Larry Fitzgerald
Larry Fitzgerald is having another down season.
The seven-time Pro Bowler was expected to have a resurgence with quarterback Carson Palmer throwing passes and offensive guru Bruce Arians calling plays, but thus far he has tallied just 32 receptions for 422 yards and four touchdowns.
Long regarded as one of the best receivers in the NFL, he ranks 30th in the league in both receptions and yards, and is just 15th among wideouts in touchdowns.
Explanations for his struggles are varied, with some blaming Palmer and others pointing to the receiver's balky hamstring. Former Cardinals QB Kurt Warner told Arizona Sports 620's Bickley with Marotta he thinks Arians' scheme -- or, more specifically, the coach's desire to have Fitzgerald learn to play as an inside receiver -- is contributing to his former teammate's problems.
"I think one of the problems is they're putting him inside so much that he loses some of what makes him great and what makes him great is getting in those one-on-one situations on the edge, using that big body, really stretching the field and getting those big chunks," Warner said. "A lot of times he's getting stuck in the underneath part of the mix."
A guest of the same show Monday afternoon, Arians said Fitzgerald is going to have to figure out how to succeed with his expanded role.
"If he wants to continue his career," Arians said. "He played two weeks ago, strictly at outside, and had his worst game since we've been here this year with mental errors.
"That said, he's got to learn to play it, and he's doing a pretty good job in there."
Arians said Fitzgerald's injury has hampered his ability to get open on the outside, and added that his star player is probably around 80-percent healthy as of right now.
"Hopefully getting better, closer to 100 (percent) by the weekend."

Patient services coordinators perform a variety of tasks related to handling patients and any relevant paperwork. In their day-to-day work, the patient services coordinator is responsible for greeting, screening, and transporting patients to the scanning room. They are also in charge of handling the patient's paperwork, as well as making sure the patient understands what each test does and when results will be available. Patient services coordinators also answer questions about exams, ensure patients are comfortable, and enter relevant patient information into the computer systems. These coordinators also perform administrative duties, serving as a receptionist, answering phones, scheduling patient appointments, and maintaining equipment and a supply inventory.Read More...
Patient services coordinators typically work in a medical facility during regular business hours; however, depending on their company's hours of operation, they may work nights and weekends as well. These coordinators interact with a number of medical staff, including doctors, nurses, physicians, and other practitioners; extensive interaction with patients is required as well.
A high school diploma or equivalent is generally required for this position. Patient services coordinators must know basic medical terminology, and experience with medical records is generally preferred. Basic computer skills and an understanding basic phone etiquette are essential.
Patient Services Coordinators flock to Novant Health, Massachusetts General Hospital, Swedish Medical Center, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, and Mass General, highly regarded companies that employ a generous number of people in this profession. For Patient Services Coordinators, comfortable salaries can be found at Mass General; in fact, median earnings sit around $41K, the highest in the area.
Novant Health offers the lowest pay in the field with a median salary of just $28K. There's also little variation in pay at the company, with pay ranging from $22K to $32K.
Survey takers who work as Patient Services Coordinators report a focused set of job skills. Most notably, skills in Data Entry, Insurance, Customer Service, and Scheduling are correlated to pay that is above average. Most people familiar with Customer Service also know Insurance.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Patient Services Coordinators — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. The median compensation for relatively untried workers is $32K; in the five-to-10 year group, it's higher at around $34K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $36K. Veterans who have acquired more than 20 years report a median income of $39K, which is generally higher than the pay reported by other tenure groups.
Home to some of the best pay for Patient Services Coordinators, Washington offers exceptional salaries, 29 percent above the national average. Patient Services Coordinators can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Minneapolis (+20 percent), Seattle (+18 percent), New York (+12 percent), and Boston (+8 percent). Patient Services Coordinators in Winston-Salem take home the lowest salaries, earning a whopping 21 percent less than the national average. Employers also pay below the national average in Charlotte (13 percent lower) and Austin (9 percent lower).

Same problem with a Geforce4 Ti4200
I've got the same problem. I am running Mandrake 9.2 on my machine, used Nvidia driver 5328. Editted my config file the same, was rewarded with the Nvidia splash screen, but even my GL screen savers run like a slide show presentation. Same problem with Chromium (hope I spelled that right)....slide show again. I would expect better performance out of a Geforce4 Ti4200 128MB card....LOL... That is right, mine is a Geforce4 Ti4200, not a Geforce2. I would guess this means that whatever our problem is, is not card specific. It has something to do with the driver we are installing. Either the driver is faulty, or we are doing something wrong. If we are doing something wrong, I don't know what it is. Nvidia has a new version of the driver out now, it is a 5336 as I recall. I will try that tonight & see if my problems go away.
I was glad to see I am not the only one on earth with this problem, & that it is not specific to my card. I will try some other forums. If I find an answer, or if the new driver fixes the problem, I'll let you know.
Oh, do you have a VIA chipset on you motherboard? The new 5336 Nvidia driver said something about fixing a AGP failure problem for VIA chipsets. My board has a VIA chipset, maybe this is where the problem is.
Anyway, I will let you know if I find a fix. Please let me know if you have found, or find a fix too ?

Fracking's future still on hold
The "fracking revolution" — improved hydraulic fracturing techniques — has liberated enormous quantities of crude oil, and especially natural gas, from previously uneconomic deposits trapped deep underground in isolated pockets within sedimentary rock known as shale. The resulting abundance of low-cost natural gas has transformed North American producers of resins such as polyethylene, which are favored by lighter natural gas-based feedstocks, into some of the most cost-competitive producers in the world.

And yes, I rode the XC. Still need to stop by the local Harley-Davidson dealer to see if one of the 3 bikes in their "BMW Department" is an F800GS that hasn't been farkled the fuck out to 18 grand.
Don't stress. Just buy the bike that fits you.
What seems eons now my cousin committed suicide on a motorcycle. He was drunk, pissed off, and going way too fast. Hit an off ramp, lost control, crashed and burned. But the worst thing was that his father (my dads brother) happened to be driving across the bridge at the end of that off ramp in a Semi at the exact instant that my cousin crashed. My uncle ran over his own sons mangled body.
I was so young I didn't have a drivers license yet and my mother told me that it would kill her if I ever got a motorcycle. It was in my blood so I hid it for years, but she eventually found out. Well that was more bikes than I can count ago and my parents have never accepted the fact that I live and breath them.
I crashed once, hit a deer @ 60 mph on a cruiser. Stayed on the bike the entire time I was flipping end to end. Crushed the gas tank with my knees. Broke both wrists and permanently separated my right shoulder. Split my helmet in two. Tore open my riding suit and suffered road rash down the right side of my body as I was pinned under the bike while we were sliding down the road. When I bought the cruiser I was actually shopping for a BMW GS. Got talked into buying the cruiser instead by a slick salesman with a sharp tongue who wanted to make a deal to get the cruiser out of the showroom. Last time I ever made the mistake of letting someone else tell me what I should buy or talk me into a deal that I wasn't comfortable making. I didn't trust my instincts about that bike and never really liked it. Never really had fun on it. I'll probably die on a motorcycle but after that I decided that when I do, it'll be on my terms riding a bike that I thoroughly enjoy, through my own choices.
A couple weeks ago and several thousand miles behind I stopped home to visit the family. Just before I left my folks house I pulled the F8 out of the garage to get ready to go and my mom said to me "you told me this bike was you, and I see know that it is". She said "It suits you". And it does. I love my F8.
There is no perfect bike but there are bikes that fit your lifestyle, ideology, and self image. Go with what works for you and have fun. XC <-> GS, doesn't matter what kind of ride you are on as long as you are happy riding what you have.

duplicate job from different tape media
Hi, I have a backup on LTO-3 tape media and would like to duplicate the tape to LTO-6 media.
both tape librarys are connected and functioning on backup exec 2012.
backup is on 000039L3, and would like to duplicate to 000024L6. When I right click on the tape backup and say: duplicate and choose the LTO6 drive, it asks me to put in 000019L3 tape in my LTO6 Library, which will not ready a LTO6 tape.
Whats the best way to do this? The server that was backed up is no longer with us.
I want to toss our LTO3 Library and convert all my tapes to LTO6.
thank you for your help.
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I would run a catalog and inventory job, duplicate to disk job to get the data off the tape and then run another job to backup to the LT06 tape. see: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH187265
You can turn on barcode rules and prevent your LTO3 tapes from being used in the LTO6 tape drive. See my article below
I believe this will solve your problem of BE trying to read LTO3 tapes in your LTO6 tape drive. This way you do not have to duplicate to disk first.

Why infanticide can benefit animals
Infanticide is a powerful tool in ensuring the survival of a species, researchers are increasingly finding.
It sounds like the cruellest thing of all - mothers and fathers brutally killing their animal offspring.
But for many animal infants, the greatest threat to their survival they face is from their own kind.
"It's not like a predation event, which is quiet," says lion expert Professor Craig Packer.
"During infanticide, it's growling and violent, and really pretty disturbing," he says, describing how adult lions kill cubs. "They bite them on the back of the head, and neck, crushing their abdomens."
Infanticide is an often overlooked way of ensuring the survival of the fittest. It has been recorded in a number of species including mammals such as rodents and primates, and fish, insects and amphibians.
Scientific research shows it can provide benefits to the perpetrator, such as increased reproductive opportunities, access to limited resources, direct nutritional benefits, or the prevention of misdirected parental care.
Infanticide is often perpetrated by adult males.
Baby animals are often protected by their fathers, with male protection playing an important role in infant survival.
But when new males arrive on the scene, everything can change.
Male interlopers attempt to overthrow these fathers. If they succeed, by hurting, chasing off or even killing a previously dominant male, and taking over the leadership of their group, then infants are suddenly placed at great risk.
Because males who have arrived on the scene often only want one thing - to have their own children with the mother.
Watch animal offspring live:
- Planet Earth Live's final episode will be broadcast on BBC One on Thursday 24 May at 20:00 BST. Or catch up on BBC iPlayer.
- It is also being shown as 24/7 Wild in the US on the National Geographic Wild channel.
In lion society, for example, killing infants results in their mothers becoming quickly fertile again, increasing the chance of the new males having offspring.
And if they don't kill any infant males that are not their own, they run the risk these cubs will grow up and stage their own coup.
But it's not only male animals who kill young. Females do too, says Professor Tim Clutton-Brock, from the University of Cambridge.
"Females kill each other's babies just as readily," he says.
Female rats eat other female's kits for sustenance and then take over their nests for their own litter. Mother rats also kill their own if they are deformed or wounded, to allow them to allocate resources to their other offspring.
Infanticide can also increase an animal's reproductive success, by reducing competition for its offspring. Female burying beetles kill off their rivals' larvae before their own hatch to ensure their survival.
More than 40 species of primates are known to commit infanticide, but in many species females have a strategy to reduce the risk, a study in the Journal of Theoretical Biology found.
Paternity confusion is used - where female primates mate with multiple partners so the males don't know who is the father.
Infanticide in the animal kingdom:

- Bottlenose dolphins: Infanticide is rarely recorded among cetaceans, but has been observed on a number of occasions in bottlenose dolphins
- Guillemots have been observed turning to infanticide during food shortages. Adult birds have been seen killing unattended chicks in neighbouring nests
- Hanuman langur monkeys are among the first species in which primate infanticide by adult males was observed in the wild
- Chimpanzees: Infanticide is thought to be relatively common among wild chimpanzees. Males and females have been observed killing infants both outside and within their own communities
This gives their young the best chance of survival when new males try to integrate into a group.
"In a multi-male group, in primates such as baboons, if two males breed with a female and neither knows he was the father, that would reduce the risk of infanticide," says Prof Clutton-Brock.
For changes in the dominance hierarchy "infanticide occurs only where the chance for the killer to sire the next infant is high", the study says.
Meerkats are co-operative breeders, where there is an alpha male and female who breed, and other "subordinates" help raise the young.
Dominant females are known to kill subordinates' young, and they too have been known to kill a top female's young if they have a litter of their own.
But male meerkats do not get blood on their paws.
Prof Clutton-Brock says: "Meerkat males have never shown infanticide, because as soon as (females) have babies they are ready to mate again. So killing infants doesn't get a male anywhere."
That's in contrast to lions, where females spend up to 18 months lactating after giving birth.
Nomadic males, or coalitions of males competing for control of prides, are known to kill cubs in order to bring the mother back into season and sire a child with her.
The Marsh Pride of the Masai Mara in Kenya is currently being filmed for the BBC programme Planet Earth Live, which is following the fate of young animals around the world during the month of May.
Colin Jackson, a BBC producer on Planet Earth Live, says the programme team has been following a single lioness with one cub, called Moja.
"I believe historically, prior to us beginning to film, she probably had three (cubs), and that is more normal for a lioness," he says. He believes Moja is under threat from other lions in the area.
"A male lion coming across her and her cub could well be tempted to the killing of the cub in order to bring her back into oestrus and mate with her."
Programme consultant Professor Craig Packer has worked with 25 prides in Tanzania over the last 35 years.
He says DNA testing on the many litters of lions he has studied shows every cub in one litter is fathered by the same lion.
This is in contrast to cheetahs where every single litter has multiple paternity.
Two males will mate with a female cheetah and essentially mix sperm inside her, each fathering some of the cubs.
"As far as I can tell, male lions don't seem to be able to recognise their own children, but if they are part of a coalition they will protect all the cubs," he says.
Lion cubs are often looked after in crèches, and lionesses in a group can defend against males, chasing them off by biting their rear ends.
But if they don't manage to do so, they may be faced with finding their dead young.
"If mothers find the carcass of the cubs, they will eat the carcass, and although cannibalism in lions is rare, they see it as a safe meal, of fresh healthy meat," says Prof Packer of the University of Minnesota, St Paul, US.
Although this act of cannibalism is difficult to comprehend in a human context, when meat is scarce, in the natural world it can make all the difference to whether other members of a family survive.

Aaahh yes....Black Gap Trail indeed. What a mighty fine trail it was. Best one I rode in the Park so far. Much more "work" than the other roads....which was a good thing....cause it help "heat" us up. The weather had really taken a turn for the worse. It was windy, rainy, and COLD! The ground was getting slick and sticky at the same time. Just what you bargain for when you're in the Middle of Nowhere.
Returning to camp, we had one of the largest whitetail deer (both body & rack) I've ever seen....strut out into the middle of the road right in front of us. Monty could of spit on him. And I had a Park Ranger argue with me later, that there weren't any Whitetails within 500 miles of the Big Bend, just mule deer only. But what do I know...
Returning to camp, the weather continued to deteriorate further.
And the rains came down....for the rest of the night. Our campsite used to be some kind of old homestead back in the day. There was one dilapidated old shed back in the bushes with a partial tin roof. Looked to be pre-depression era. We took refuge in there while using Monty's reflective safety blanket for a makeshift roof liner.
Somewhere under that pitiful shelter, in the miserable cold rain, I look up at Monty and tell him, "Dude...I need a fire! I can't spend 5 more nights like this without a fire."
(Memo to File: Big Bend National Park does not permit campfires)
Monty agrees its a bleak predicament considering the forecast which he checked at the park headquarters when we arrived. This is when Monty drops the biggest bombshell of the entire week. Everybody listen up....
"Well....we could go the the other Big Bend."
Say what? There's another one? I never heard of that. Ain't on my map!
Monty says, "Sure thing....its the old Big Bend Ranch that the State of Texas has purchased and turned into a park. Might be even better, at least we can have a campfire there."
"Only been open a few years, and only recently for motorcycles. That's right, it used to be No Motorcycles Allowed until about a year ago. Probably haven't been more than a hundred riders see it yet...."
Hhhmmmm.....only 60 miles West, you say. Let's go check it out first thing tomorrow!
Monty agrees, but says we'll have to hurry!
All I can say about the rest of the night is this:

Robert D. Larson, 61, a former bookkeeper for the Northwestern Minnesota Synod, was charged with felony theft and check forgery in Clay County [Minn.] District Court March 1. Larson was terminated in January 2012 after he confessed to embezzling synod funds from 2004 to 2011. Synod staff discovered the embezzlement in December 2011, and a forensic audit established that Larson took $760,000 from the synod, said Bishop Lawrence Wohlrabe. The synod received a payment of more than $590,000 (what could be verified that Larson pocketed for himself) from insurance provided for synods through the ELCA. Larson's predecessor, Rosemarie Johnk, was terminated in May 2004 for using the synod's credit to make nearly $24,000 in unauthorized purchases.

As many of you know, Duke had a large group of recruits on campus for their win over UNC on Saturday night. Along with 2014 commits, Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow, Duke hosted three Official Visits, Myles Turner, Chase Jeter and Luke Kennard, as well as four Unofficial Visits, Josh Langford, Dennis Smith Jr, Brandon Ingram and Harry Giles. The game was considered a major success, as it was a huge Duke win and many of the recruits had a great time. I was able to talk to four of the recruits at the game who gave me their thoughts on Duke, their visit, and the game.
Luke Kennard has recently cut his list to seven schools (Ohio St, Duke, Kentucky, UNC, Louisville, Michigan and Florida) , but many believe he will ultimately choose between Duke, Kentucky, and Ohio St. He has taken many visits to Kentucky, but last weekend was his first Official Visit. When I asked him about his visit, he told me "I loved every moment that I spent down there. It's such a great place to be and it's a place where you can develop not only as a player but as a person." Whenever I talk with Luke, he always talks about Duke's ability to develop well-rounded people. Kennard's great character and basketball ability make him a great fit for Duke. I believe Duke's emphasis on character, as well as basketball, could definitely be an influence in his decision.
Speaking about the visit, he loved being around the other top recruits, "I really enjoyed being around the other recruits and hearing their perspectives about Duke. ALL of them are great guys and they would be a joy to play with." From his quote, it appears Jahlil and Justise were doing their best to convince him to choose Duke. With many potential teammates at the game, it was great to see that Luke had a good time with them. Right now, I think it is 50-50 that Luke commits to Duke, but I think he will be a great fit for the Duke basketball program. Luke will likely take a few more Official Visits before he makes his decision, which he hopes to do before his senior year.
Chase was the other 2015 recruit on an Official Visit at the game. I was extremely glad to hear that Chase enjoyed his time at Duke. When I asked him about it, he told me "The visit was great. Cameron Indoor is a great atmosphere and the game itself was unbelievable. The players were all really cool, genuine guys along with the whole staff." Just like with Luke, Chase usually stresses the character usually associated with Duke players and coaches. As a great person himself, I also see Chase as a great fit for the Duke basketball program. While the saying "Duke kid" may be cliché, Chase embodies all of the qualities.
Chase also talked about all the other players at Duke for the game, "It was awesome. I'm cool with all those guys and there people I can rely on to tell me what Duke is like while they are there (Jahlil and Justise) and guys I see myself keeping in touch with." Again, Okafor and Winslow prove that they are great people for the Duke basketball program. As you can probably tell, I really like both Kennard and Jeter and I believe that they could be a great duo in the 2015 class. Both are top notch basketball players and people, who could be very valuable for Duke if they ultimately decide to attend. Time will tell where they both go but Duke is in good shape for both.
Dennis Smith Jr. has been to many Duke games this season and had a great time on Saturday. On the game, he told me "It was loud, energetic, and exciting the whole game. I think the toughest thing would be having to play against Duke." While Smith does not have a Duke offer yet, this athletic guard has shown a lot of interest in Duke. With Duke's need for a point guard in 2016, I expect him to be a real option for Duke. He is an incredibly athletic guard who will be able to play well with an up-tempo style. He is definitely a player I will have my eye on as the 2016 class begins to form.
Josh Langford
Langford was not on the radar for me, or many other Duke fans, until it was announced that he would be at the game. He is currently ranked 13th by ESPN in the 2016 class and is one of the top shooting guards in the class. Like all the other recruits at the game, Josh was very impressed by the game "It was a great experience to see two of the greatest rivals go head to head. It was a great atmosphere at the game and it was awesome to be in the locker room and listen to Coach K. It was just a great experience." I got the sense that Josh was beginning his search to find where he will best fit. It is too early to say how much interest there will be between both sides, but there appears to be a potential fit.
When I asked Langford about the other recruits at the game, his humility really came out "I already knew Harry Giles and Chase Jeter. I've seen Myles Turner, Justice Winslow, and Jahlil Okafor play before. They are all great players and it's always a great and humbling feeling to be in that type of company." Josh does not act conceited because of his high ranking and he is very humble. There is still a long time left in Josh Langford's recruitment but he is someone to definitely keep an eye on.
I will end with a question from @Josh48623, who asked me "Where does Duke stand after the Myles Turner visit? What are their chances?" I believe the visit went well for Duke and they are definitely an option. Unfortunately, I do not believe Duke will be the team that Turner ultimately chooses. If Turner chooses to go to a top school with good NCAA Championship chances, I expect that he would choose Kansas. I also think Texas and Oklahoma St are options, as he would be the star of the programs. Turner has kept his recruitment very private so it is hard to get a good read on him. I believe Duke has a chance to land the top rated big man, but I do not believe they will ultimately land him.
If you missed last week's update, make sure you check it out here. Also, make sure you havent missed a recruiting interview by checking them out here. I hope you enjoyed and there will be another recruiting update coming next week.

Manufacturers are increasingly using structural adhesives to replace or augment rivets, bolts, welds and other traditional fastening methods. Design engineers are now specifying structural adhesives to assemble wind blades, commercial furniture, appliances, heavy-duty construction and agricultural vehicles, automobiles, buses, hot tubs, electric motors, boats, loudspeakers, signs/displays, machine tools, and more.
Why Adhesives?Structural adhesives offer many benefits over mechanical fasteners or thermal methods of assembly such as welding, brazing and soldering. Adhesives distribute an even stress load over an area, reducing stress on joints. Adhesives are applied inside the joint and are nearly invisible within the assembly. They can resist flex and vibration stresses, and will form both a seal and a bond to protect joints from corrosion. Some adhesives can fill large gaps. They join irregularly shaped surfaces, minimally increase the weight of an assembly, create virtually no change in part dimensions or geometry, and quickly and easily bond dissimilar substrates and heat-sensitive materials.
Since adhesives are liquids prior to curing, assembly can be easily automated. By using the proper dispensing and curing equipment, manufacturers can achieve a very strong end product with an aesthetically pleasing and neat appearance. Bonding requires fewer skilled workers and can be 20 times faster than welding. Excess adhesive can be removed prior to the painting process - a significant advantage over grinding and abrading to generate a smooth welded finish.
Structural Adhesive TechnologiesStructural adhesive technologies include epoxies, acrylics, methylmethacrylates (MMAs), modified silanes and polyurethanes. These adhesive technologies provide tough, durable bonds on metals, plastics, composites and ceramics.
Advances in structural adhesive technology have dramatically expanded the scope of potential bonding applications for these materials:
- Over time, traditional structural adhesives lose strength on certain substrates, such as galvanized steel, as zinc coatings would eventually delaminate the bond. New structural adhesive technologies provide such long-term durability on zinc-coated substrates that they are now being used to assemble pre-fabricated building components, such as trusses, joists, shear walls, headers, studs and cantilevered beams.
- Certain new structural adhesives actually increase in strength from their initial cured state when exposed to elevated temperatures. These adhesives also withstand vibration better than mechanical fasteners. In applications such as electric-motor manufacturing, where the end product operates at elevated temperatures and experiences strong vibration, structural adhesives offer distinct advantages over mechanical fasteners.
- In industries where products are getting smaller with each new generation, manufacturers must design for impact and temperature resistance. Structural adhesives used on portable speakers or small electronics, for example, must cure rapidly, exhibit high impact resistance, and withstand the elevated temperatures that are the result of tighter operating spaces.
- Fast-fixturing structural adhesives can increase processing speeds, reduce work-in-process and eliminate mechanical fastener inventories.
- Structural adhesive can withstand the range of environmental conditions an assembly may see during its useful life, including humidity, salt exposure, high temperatures, chemicals and vibration. Structural adhesives can also withstand welding, phosphate pickling, autopheretic and powder coating processes while maintaining strength.
- Some new structural adhesive technologies are designed to bite through surface oils and contaminants, eliminating the need for surface preparation and activators. For difficult-to-bond substrates such as polyolefin plastics, new structural adhesives bond exceptionally well without the need for primer or surface treatment.
The Table shows available structural adhesive technologies, their benefits, limitations and general performance capabilities. These adhesive technologies provide tough, durable bonds on a larger variety of substrates than in the past, including metals, plastics, composites and ceramics.

The Trickledown Effect of State Budget Cuts
I had a chance to speak with Rich Egger, News Director at Tri States Public Radio, about the recent announcement by Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner that state museums will have to shut their doors if the governor's office and the state legislature can't reach a budget agreement.

text: The Magic ended their longest road trip of the season on Sunday and up next are three home games: Wednesday against J.J.

Orlando hung tough in the third period, even extending its lead to as much as eight during one points in the third quarter. Harris built off his stellar first half to make his first four shots of the third quarter. He twice converted finger roll layups a la his mentor, Hall of Famer George Gervin.
