Engineer Your Life
The Ohio Northern University College of Engineering is a member of the Engineer Your Life (EYL) coalition, a group of organizations that are committed to repositioning engineering as an exciting and rewarding career choice for young women. Find out why you should consider engineering as a career by exploring the EYL website at: http://engineeryourlife.org/
Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science (TEAMS) is an interscholastic competition that helps to prepare students for tomorrow's world – today. Students learn how the math and science concepts they are learning in high school are applied to real-world problems. The TEAMS program encourages tomorrow's engineers to work cooperatively and think critically. Awards are given at the local, state, and national level. TEAMS is sponsored nationally by The Technology Student Association (TSA). TSA is a national, non-profit organization of middle and high school students who have a strong interest in technology. TSA was chartered in 1978 and since then over 2,000,000 students have participated in its program. Members learn through challenging competitions, leadership activities and community service. Information is available at www.tsaweb.org.
ONU has been a local host for the TEAMS competition annually since 1987. We currently rank in the top 10 competition sites annually for the number of participants; with approximately 25 school districts and almost 500 students involved in the competition each year. In addition to the testing facilities, ONU provides lunch for all of the participating teams.
For more information, contact Peg Hibbard at firstname.lastname@example.com or 419-772-2370.
Engineering Pathways
This camp for students entering their sophomore or junior year in the fall is part of the ONU Summer Honors Institute. Hands-on activities will give students in this course an understanding of three basic engineering fields: civil engineering, electrical/computer engineering and mechanical engineering. Classroom and laboratory activities will include application and use of strain gauges, tensile testing of metals and use of programmable logic controllers. Students will have the opportunity to compare computer generated theoretical data to experimental data taken in a wind tunnel, experiment with closed loop control systems and write a program using the Java programming language. Field trips will be taken to enhance student knowledge of engineering and encourage students to interact with practicing engineers.
For more information, contact Prof. Laurie Laird at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The purpose of Engineering Exploring is to provide the youth of America the opportunity to look into the world of engineering as a career choice and to participate in engineering activities. This is accomplished through community organizations that can provide an effective Exploring program. Engineering Explorer posts are involved in a variety of programs and projects featuring training, skill development, and service projects and are supported by such organizations as the National Society of Professional Engineers and local industries and universities.
The T.J. Smull College of Engineering is currently working with the Explorer Post located in Findlay, OH and works with this post three to four times per year to provide on-campus activities and learning opportunities for young adults.

Graduate Forms
A Master of Science Degree in Gerontology will provide the opportunity for students in fields such as Health Care Administration, Nursing, Social Work, Public Administration, and Counseling/ Psychology to gain knowledge of the needs of the geriatric population and to care properly for the geriatric patients in both social and healthcare environments. The curriculum will prepare graduates to work more creatively, and do so in an ethical and moral fashion. As the population ages, it will be important for health care workers to adapt to their changing responsibilities, and feel comfortable that the risks they take for attempts at improvement are based upon a solid education and background.
AGHE, the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education, was consulted for curriculum guidelines and standards.

Med students receive diplomas
HUNTINGTON -- Two tours of duty in Iraq really helped to put things into perspective for David Ison, who served in the U.S. Army as a medic.
"There is nothing like the camaraderie you have with your fellow troops, whether you are treating them or if you're working with them," said Ison, a native of Wise, Va. "I knew I wanted to have a part of that when I left, so it was an easy decision to go to med school."
Ison was one of 75 newly minted doctors to be recognized Friday night during the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine Graduation and Investiture ceremony at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center in Huntington.
The ceremony was one Ison described as bittersweet.
"Part of going to med school was a lot like being in the military," said Ison, who will go to East Tennessee State University to complete an internal medicine residency. "You still have that camaraderie with your classmates, and you spend so much time working together to study and finish certain tasks that can be really stressful, and now that we're here, you just know it's an experience that was unique to you."
This particular class was noted for its more than 5,000 hours of community service over four years, and, according to Elias Salloum, president of the med school's class of 2013, approximately 18 children that were born to med students during that same time frame.
Ison and his wife, Heather, were responsible for one of those children, a son, who now is 2-years-old, in addition to two sons who are 15- and 12-years-old, respectively.
He credited his wife with taking time off from her career as a counselor to take care of their family and support him during med school.
"It really was an exhausting thing to have a family and working on med school," said Ison. "I know there is no way I could have made it through everything without her help."
Dr. Joseph Shapiro, dean of the med school, took time to honor those family members and loved ones who supported the students during the last four years in his address at the ceremony.
He also called upon the graduates to continue their education each day as physicians.
"This is a very exciting time for all of us," said Shapiro. "Our calling requires nothing less than us working to learn, grow and be the best doctors we can be."
Scott Studeny of Huntington said he has grown a lot since he decided he wanted to be a doctor when he was in the 8th grade. After watching "The Miracle of Life" in his health class, Studeny said he was sure he wanted to be an OB-GYN.
"I decided to keep my options open when I got into med school and started my rotations," said Studeny, who will begin his pediatrics residency at Marshall after graduation.
Even though his field of medicine might have changed, Studeny said his passion to practice has not waivered in that time.
"One thing that someone might not understand about med school is the amount of our own free time you give up with our friends and our families, more so than we did in high school and college," said Studeny. "Really, it's important for people to know that if we didn't have a passion for what we were doing, there is no way we would be able to do it. We wouldn't be doing it now, and we wouldn't be able to do it in the future if we didn't love it."

Friday, November 1, 2013
The solar eclipse taking place November 3, 2013 will appear over Charleston at sunrise and last from approximately 6:40 a.m. to 7:07 a.m. This rare hybrid eclipse will only be visible with a completely clear horizon – city skyline will obstruct view.
The eclipse is called a "hybrid" eclipse because it will be partly annular – an eclipse that shows the sun's circumference around the moon – and partly total – an eclipse during which the sun is completely blocked by the moon.
College of Charleston astronomy instructor Terry Richardson highlights the best places to see the entire eclipse – with a solar eclipse-viewing filter provided by the College (pick one up by 5 p.m. Friday at the Rita Liddy Hollings Science Center room 101, 58 Coming St.).
1. The Ravenel Bridge.
The bridge may be a little windy for comfort, but the high elevation and eastward view over the water provides an ideal vantage point for the rising eclipse.
2. The Holiday Inn Charleston – Riverview.
This round hotel sits about as close as it gets to the Ashley River. Stand outside the building facing east for the best view.
3. Isle of Palms, Folly or Sullivan's Island beaches.
The local beaches are among the eastern-most points in Charleston, and will provide an unhindered outlook to watch the eclipse.
4. On the water.
Have a boat or a friend with a boat? Get on the water Sunday morning to see the eclipse up close.
Richardson also recommends not staring at the eclipse without protective eyewear, and if you're commuting to your viewing destination, leave with plenty of time to spare. The total portion of the eclipse won't last more than a few minutes, and total eclipses are the only chance to see the "solar corona" – the heat-warped light around the sun.
Photographing the eclipse from any of these locations is as easy as photographing any sunrise or sunset, just keep your camera still and take photos in intervals of two-to-three minutes.
For more information, contact Terry Richardson at email@example.com.

As a lover of all things webcomicy, I see potential here. I chuckled at #3 and I smiled at #5, 4 could've been better and 1 & 2 aren't really worth mentioning (sorry). Still, pay no attention to anyone saying your artwork needs to be better (see pixelcomic.net), but I agree that more thought needs to be developed in the punchlines. The punchlines themselves can be fine (even in the first one, with Phrost's last comment), but the actual words need to be worked on. I would also agree that a bit more motion can be used just with simple implication of movement. Turn their heads, have them face one way or another, mopve their distances around a bit. In this last one, I would suggest having the straight guy (no, not orientation, you freaks - classic vaudeville, there's a jokester and the straight man - the one who always gets floored by the punchline; in this case it's the black guy) give some reaction to the punchline, either incredulous or angered by his friend - whatever his personality is, that's your call. Anyway, keep going and screw the naysayers. Just remember that no artist who's famous was well-liked during his lifetime (except Leonardo...and Dali...and Rembrandt, Escher, that Elephant, the guy who **** in a can and sold it for several hundred thousand, and you know what? nevermind). So good luck and here's hoping you die to be seen as the true artist you are...

I hereby choose to be premodern...
It's like the old question regarding the question of the installation at an art museum. (I'm cribbing this.) The professor says, "The reason the urinal hanging on the wall in the gallery space of the art museum is different from the one hanging on the wall in the bathroom of the art museum is that one is in the gallery space, and the other isn't. The gallery urinal is in the installation. Whether the artist or the curator or the viewer wishes it to be different is immaterial; the urinal has been installed." The student asks, "How do you de-install the urinal?" The professor says "Take it off of the wall. But as long as it is being held up as an object of art, it is subject to the rules we understand the 'gallery as concept' to operate under, the meta-installation." The student asks, "How do you de-install the installation?" The professor says, "You can't. You are asking the mind to de-install itself." The same, here.
It's come to my attention that since the movie 300, there's been this "new Spartans" meme in certain conservative circles, people who want to return to the old ways, the old conceptions of honor and manliness and what have you. And they want to do and say and look like the Spartans did and spoke and looked. What they don't seem to countenance is that the idea of asking "Is this how a Spartan would stand" would be a thought of mind-shattering revolution for an actual Spartan. The mindset necessary to attempt the project undoes the project. (I also imagine these guys are less inclined to participate in enthusiastic man-on-man sodomy than the Spartans were.)
It seems that people often believe the the problem isn't so much the knowingness as it is the consequences of that knowingness-- the verbal irony, the disconnection, the ennui, the unreality, the emotional death. That's only as true as it's true that fixing the shivers and sneezing and fever cures a flu. You can stop every symptom but you haven't killed the disease. Incidentally, I think some people are convinced that having a postmodern outlook means that you celebrate or sneer in the face of it. That isn't true. Look, I don't want the world to be this way. I don't have any choice in the matter.
James is right, of course, that this doesn't have to be a moment of despair, but merely a moment of opportunity. There are small graces in this kind of world, if we look for them. James is a conservative, and thus it is inevitable that his project will be foundational, postmodern or no. That's not a luxury I have. We share, however, the important distinction (which we also share with David Foster Wallace and everyone else) that we really can't go back again. Every conscious attempt to moves our target farther from our fingertips. Unless we can come up with some sort of brain-washing syndrome or hypnosis, we're stuck here. Or, perhaps, we could get a group of like-minded people together and buy some island together in the South Pacific, and raise a group of children, free from Rorty and Heidegger, never hearing of Nietzche, no such movies as The Last Action Hero or Bolt, no The Real Inspector Hound, no Tristam Shandy, no Fake Steve Jobs, no Don Delillo or David Ives, no Stephen Colbert, and you're god damn right, there's a Santa Claus. Would it be worth it? Could you do that to your child, live that kind of lie, even when you were sure it would leave them in a happier and more fulfilling world? I might have to, I'm not going to lie. No kids, so I don't know. But giving the gift of certitude to someone might be worth essentially taking on the mantle of the town elders from Footloose.
(The great question of how this island would be politically and economically organized, if the kind of people I'm thinking of came together to pursue this project, would be worthy of a fat sociological text all its own.)
Anyway, there's always Will Wilkinson's solution: in a response to a post of mine once, he wrote about the wisdom of putting the top down and throwing your arm around your girl. He was right, by god.
I know, you've heard all this from me before. If you've got a good horse, you might as well ride....

I think what you're regarding as the postmodern condition is just the human condition. I mean, you've got "Tristam Shandy" in there, which is pretty old. Almost as soon as novels where invented, there were parodies of novels. And plenty of people, including me, had a childhood phase of wondering if the world was real or not, whether there really was anything over the hills or not.
Some of your hypothetical children in the South Pacific will feel the same. They'll have to decide how to walk, what kind of clothes to wear, how to be authentic, just like everybody else does. In every society there are smartasses and neurotics, humorless squares and undoubting conformists.
Maybe all you can hope for is to keep the level of recursion reasonably low. That is, not worrying about worrying about worrying about worrying ...

Think I agree with Chris. I mean, this idea that irony is postmodern! I thought you knew Shakespeare.
The answer to Wallace's conundrum is to make oneself stupid. Only then, in default of knowing, can one escape the complications of knowingness.
Out with the sledgehammers, people -- this is going to hurt.
- December 4, 2008 at 9:52 PM
- Freddie said...
It's not the irony that's postmodern. It's the awareness that reason (an essential condition of irony) is itself socially constructed.

- Josh said...
As usual, I agree with you Freddie. But I'd like to get your read on the literary part of the question, the part Foster Wallace is (was) discussing. Do you imagine the next bunch of literary rebels won't aspire to be pomocons? That they won't attempt to be anti-rebels? (And, if so, what do you imagine will pop up in their stead?) Or do you agree that there will be some sort of (doomed, of course) literary anti-rebel movement? (Neo-Johnsonianism? Oy.)
I guess my terribly broad question is: What do you see changing on the literary front - or do you think that, because of post-modernism, we've hit some sort of literary stasis?

Freddie: Do you believe that it's possible to be postmodern and believe in God? Because that would seem to change your equation a bit, no? I agree that you can't "go home" again. That's why I could never be Catholic: the idea of a single human authority figure who defines rationality and ethics is convenient, but aside from it being unscriptural, anyone born after about 1700 will have a very hard time taking that proposition seriously if they're honest with their intellectual inheritance. For me, the project is thus figuring out how postmodern truths fit with premodern truths. You seem to be telling me that this is impossible, but I can't for the life of me see why this should be the case.
So my immediate question is that if you, hypothetically speaking, believed in God, what difference would it make for you?
- December 5, 2008 at 6:38 AM

Belief in god would change everything, ryan-- see here.

What you're both leaving out is that Wallace in fact manages the premodern (well, pre-postmodern) moral complexity of someone like Dostoevsky, WITH all of the postmodern tricks. He really does manage to Aufheben it into a synthesis. There are still real human problems and issues in postmodernity, and they can still be addressed within a hypertextual/metatextual work of literature.
And it's completely possible to be religious and postmodern; religion isn't one of those human institutions that gets knowingly 'postmoderned' (though I guess perhaps some Protestants seem to think this). Revelation transcends history, interpretation (every interpretation falls short, the only true theology is apophatic theology, etc), 'subjectivity,' etc etc; it's pure noein, pure seeing, despite what Derrida et al. claim.
Incidentally, THIS is the answer to our predicament, not the cheap hand-waving semi-nihilism of "hanging out with friends and your girl, yeah!"

Freddie: I read that post when you first made it. It's actually what started me reading your blog, to be honest. I didn't comment then, but here seems just as appropriate.
You asked there, and it seems relevant now, "Why postmodernism, with God? What use language games, with God?"
I think there's a reasonable answer to this, and it's simply that pre-modernism and post-modernism have a lot more in common than either of them do with modernism. The problem is that the moderns read pre-modern intellectual history as a precursor to modernism, and the post-moderns received their history from the moderns.
I could go on for pages on that subject, but suffice it to say that a serious Christian should have no problem at all with post-modern critiques of modernism. Just because I believe in God does not mean that I believe that rationality is uniform, equally available to all, or objective. You can be a foundationalist without being a rationalist. Christianity isn't even entirely unfriendly to the idea of identity-politics that post-modernism seems to beget, it simply insists that whatever other identities we create for ourselves, our identities as members of the household of God take precedence.
So yeah, I'd agree with you that there's a lot of fingers-in-ears, "I can't hear you!" going on from a lot of wannabe-Chestertonians (particularly in Catholic circles in my limited experience), who basically want to argue that because the modern project is a bad idea that we can pretend it never happened. But there's no reason to think that post-modernism is inherently anti-theistic or anti-Christian.

December 5, 2008 1:14 PM
I agree, Ryan. Both modernism AND post-modernism brought change to our way of knowing and understanding, adding layer upon layer of irony, skepticism, and so on. But if God does, in fact, exist, He has not changed one iota just because our ways of seeing and knowing have. In other words, the fact that it is now more difficult for some to believe in God than it was hundreds of years ago says more about US than it does about God. God is unchanging. We are the ones who have changed. We are the ones who "left the garden," so to speak, leaving our clarity of vision and knowledge of God behind. Why did we ever think our increase in knowledge of things OUTSIDE the garden would translate to an increase of inner-garden knowledge? We don't have to "unknow" anything (which, as Freddie points out, is impossible for thinking people, anyway). We merely have to entertain the possibility that, no matter how sophisticated we become, no matter how much we THINK we know, we are still, and ever will be, less than God; we are, thus, incapable of TRULY knowing.
Beautiful piece, Freddie. Your honesty and open-minded, open-hearted striving move me. As a former atheist, I can assure you that beilef in God DOES change everything. I've been reading up on Evelyn Waugh, lately, for a presentation I have to give on Brideshead Revisited. I was struck by something he wrote of his 1930 conversion to Catholicism (which shocked the literary/arts world, as he had been seen as the quintessential atheist/modernist.) Waugh wrote, by way of explanation:
"It is no longer possible . . . to accept the benefits of civilization and at the same time deny the supernatural basis upon which it rests."
Of course, you don't believe in that "supernatural basis," but you are young, yet!
Waugh also wrote this description of his conversion, which so resonates with my own:
"Conversion is like stepping across the chimney piece out of a Looking-Glass world,
where everything is an absurd caricature,
into the real world God made;
and then begins the delicious process of exploring it limitlessly."
You may believe that you are way beyond such a simplistic interpretation of experience, but so did I. It all begins with sincerely, sincerely asking – and being TRULY open to the possibility that God might answer. In other words, humility.
Good luck to you, and keep striving.

I feel obligated to correct the common, but false, belief that Greeks (among them, the Spartans, of course) practiced sodomy.
Since being penetrated is to be "like a woman" (according to the Greeks) it was an extremely unmanly thing to have done to one. Thus it was never practiced by upright males and essentially only male prostitutes allowed themselves to be penetrated. In Athens, in fact, proof that a male citizen had been penetrated was sufficient to disenfranchise him (since it was proof that he was a man-whore).
Greek man sex was primarily intercrural.

Huh. I was thinking about this post walking home tonight, in the midst of the latest episode of the Ongoing Existential Crisis That Is My Life, and lo and behold, ryan and Margaret have already said pretty much everything I would have said, and much better, too. I would only add that if the situation is as grim as you paint it, Freddie (and I can't see how it isn't), then the act of turning to God seems rational.
I mean: "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?" Obviously, God isn't the only possibility; but if the other option appears to be meaninglessness, and that wasn't the answer you were hoping for, and there might be Something Else Out There, what keeps you from investigating Him?
I, of course, started reading your blog because of the pomocons post, too (and one of those healthy humbling experiences it was, jackass though I was about it at the time), and you seem to be saying there that indeed, meaninglessness isn't the answer you're hoping for. What you don't say is why you settle (bad word; obviously you wrestle constantly, but I hope you'll take my meaning) for it. I know you're not a conventional atheist, but I'd be interested to hear sometime why you are an atheist.

You deserve a real response, Moff. In the meantime I'll just say that it's worth pointing out what an unbearable douchebag I was towards you in that instance.

@Freddie: Heh. There was plenty of douchiness on my side, too. It was like a whirlwind! We couldn't tell down from up! Words were flying like bullets, and it was all we could do to hope we got out of there with our skin intact. I try to tell my kids about it, sometimes, but they just want to play with their Wiitendos. Ah, internet.
- December 6, 2008 at 1:16 PM
@ Dave:
One thing is that we can't take the Greeks as some homogeneous whole. Each city state had a fairly distinct culture and it wasn't until the Persian wars that there was any kind of established "Greek" identity.
With respect to Sparta, that particular culture was different even from a Greek perspective. Boys were separated from their families at the age of 7 and brought together for some of the nastiest survival and indoctrination training humanity has seen. There was also a mentor relationship that tended to develop between boys when they were about 12 and older male citizens. Often this involved sex, but it was also a way to teach them about how to be members of the community. This also meant that who was penetrated was determined by age those who survived the training would eventually be on the other side.
Lastly, it was tradition in Sparta that men had to marry by the age of thirty. On the wedding night, the woman would be shaved and dressed in a man's cloak.
Really, what should bother us about people wanting to build societies about the Spartan model is that it was one of the most heavily regimented societies ever. Everything was done in the service of the state. The state was built on slave labor (the Helots). Economic advancement was nil (Lykergos set up the monetary system to be intentionally obtuse and non-portable, leading to almost no trade). Societies built to be that static fall apart for good reason.

The Chicago Wolves, in conjunction with the Vancouver Canucks, have named CRAIG MacTAVISH as the team's new head coach.
MacTAVISH becomes the eighth coach in Wolves history and brings 11 years of National Hockey League coaching experience to Chicago's bench, which includes leading the Edmonton Oilers to an appearance in the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals.
"We are extremely pleased to welcome Craig MacTavish to our organization," said Wolves General Manager WENDELL YOUNG. "This is an exciting time for the Wolves, between our new affiliation with Vancouver, a new group of players and now a new head coach in Craig MacTavish, and we are very much looking forward to seeing it all come together when the team hits the ice this season."
The 52-year-old MacTAVISH has compiled a 301-252-47-56 record and .537 winning percentage in 656 games spanning eight seasons (2000-09) as an NHL head coach with the Oilers.
The London, Ontario, native also served as an assistant coach with the Oilers (1999-00) and New York Rangers (1997-99) before taking over head coaching duties in Edmonton.
A veteran of 1,093 NHL contests as a player with the Boston Bruins (1979-1984), Edmonton Oilers (1985-94), New York Rangers (1994), Philadelphia Flyers (1994-96), and St. Louis Blues (1996-97), MacTAVISH registered 213 goals, 267 assists and 480 points in 17 seasons. He won the Stanley Cup on four occasions during his playing career: three times with the Oilers (1987, 1998, 1990) and once with the Rangers (1994).
MacTAVISH, who spent the last two seasons as an analyst for the NHL on TSN, replaces DON LEVER, whose contract was not renewed following the 2010-11 campaign.
In accordance with team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Wolves have announced six dates for the 2011-12 season, including the 18th home opener at the Allstate Arena on Sat., Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. For information on ticket packages or group outings, visit chicagowolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

OK using a AMD65 kit do you have to drill the gas port at an angle or can you drill the hole straight down?
OK using a AMD65 kit do you have to drill the gas port at an angle or can you drill the hole straight down?
Whatever you feel like, assuming the exterior hole aligns with the gasblock port. Originally they were angled, and that is easiest as you just run a drill down the block once installed.
What he said, if you want to do it straight just install the gas block where it needs to be, mark the barrel and remove the gas block to drill it.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Its a hell of a lot easier to clean if its at the angle of the GB other wise you going to have to remove the block if it ever gets cruded up.
stick a wood dowel or something in the bore drill a under size hole one size smaller than your final hole then your final hole that way if there are any burs there going to be small an break off. Id recomed going a little smaller than the factory hole first an see if you get full cycling . you can always go bigger hard to go back.

You have sure shown us a bright outlook. I wish you the best. Glad you shared. Hope you can get a more stable paying job. You have touched my heart.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, prayers & well wishes. I'm currently typing this at the public library, one of my favorite spots to hang out because of the peace & relative quiet it offers. I have loved this website for so long & it's nice to see so many nice, friendly people on here leaving messages as opposed to other websites where so many are hateful & rude. I will most definitely be frequenting this site more often & I very much look forward to talking to some of you & getting to know you better. Oh, & are we allowed to give out our names? Ah well, I'll do it anyway, it's Jen. It's a pleasure to meet all of you.
Your post really touched me. (I could learn something from your positive outlook! Thank you) Sending prayers and positive thoughts to you.
Sending you all of the bestest, warmest happy thoughts and vibes that I can manage! Your post has touched alot of us here at the SKMB. I'm sure if King reads your post he will be touched also. Good luck to you- with all the amount of goodwill and prayers you've got coming from us here, your luck is sure to turn around! Hang in there.
Good luck, stay positive. You want to try help from local churches. Networking is big, and you may find good contacts there. Also I seen advertising recently Goodwill is helping in job placement, you might find a new and better gig through them.
God bless you, Jen. Search out the local St. Vincent de Paul along with the Goodwill. You have my prayers.
Welcome again Jen. Glad to have you and if you need friends,we are here.
Blessings and prayers go with you Jen! Some years ago I lost my old apartment and had to stay with some friends for almost a year. Up until they rented that house, they themselves had been living out of thier station wagon. So, believe me, I sympathize...

Click the button below or email email@example.com to contribute your experiences with this product. Although not necessary, it's interesting to have a first name, city, state and country (no email addresses will be used). Any information submitted becomes the property of Tennis Warehouse.
Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: I am generally satisfied with my Babolat Team Line 12-Pack bag. If you're like me and frequently use
your tennis bag as a weekend bag, or have to tote around a change of clothes and shoes for after-tennis, plus a few water bottles
and maybe a couple of balls, it's a good solution. I have three racquets, which all fit into one compartment, leaving two free to fill
up with my extras. For clarification -- I feel none of the photos show enough of the features of these bags. The bag has 6 total
compartments: Two main racquet compartments (2) sandwich a center compartment that is actually divided into two separate
sections (4), separately zippered, though the membrane between them appears generous enough that you could use the central
compartment as a third racquet compartment, in the process sacrificing the smaller of the center sections (I think this is how
you'd get 12 racquets into the bag - 4 in each side racquet compartment, and 4 more in the topmost center compartment). One
of the racquet compartments is "insulated," though I wouldn't confuse this with a cooler. It will probably keep your drinks cold on
a hot day for a few hours, though. The divided central compartment is nice, as you can keep shoes or sweaty clothes separate
from other gear. I can easily fit my three racquets into one racquet compartment, leaving my other three pockets free for the rest
of my gear. On one side of the bag are perched two smaller external pockets (6). The smaller one can hold a 10-roll of overgrips,
some loose change, and smaller accessories, and the larger will accommodate a Costanza wallet, phablet, and keys quite
comfortably. The zippers appear to be of relative quality, but only time will tell. Some of the folds and seams that give the bag its
sleek shape, particularly in the corners where zippers have to go around some angles, are a little bit annoying, as you have to
really make sure you pull the zipper just so to get it moving, and this worries me about the long-term prospects of these holding
up over time. The straps are a little bit weird. It's not like they're going to break or anything, but they do feel a little flimsy in
comparison to the rest of the bag. Just using two little sliding shoulder pads seems odd when they could have opted for a strap
fully padded along its entire length, though this design does cut down a bit on weight and bulk. The straps are detachable (and
reversible, though I'm not sure why you'd want to wear this thing upside down) by what appear to be standard-sized plastic clips,
so you may be able to find an aftermarket strap to bolt on. I do wish this bag (and tennis bags in general) had more internal
zippered compartments or accessories. It wouldn't be difficult to include a few elastic straps to hold ball cans secure and in place,
or a few places to keep shampoo or deodorant handy. Still, this one has more than my previous bag, and with so much room
available, I can fake it by putting a separate toiletry bag in one of the pockets. Lastly, I'll add that this bag is not as massive as it
may sound. I don't think it's the size that the pros carry around, and when it's not stuffed to the gills, it has a way of staying
relatively compact. It's definitely not small, but I wouldn't worry about it looking like you're going on a Himalayan expedition.
Overall, a solid bag for those with a need for a tennis bag that needs to carry your extra clothes, toiletries, and accessories.
From: Douglas, 6/14
Comments: This bag holds a lot of cargo, however, the design is poor at the top and I struggled to keep the bag
zipped while sliding the shoulder strap on. It is a nice looking bag but frustrating to wear as a backpack. Fortunately, it has a
grip handle.
From: Brooke, 6/13

The Walking Dead
Man Shoots Girlfriend After Fight Over The Walking Dead: Report
It's happening! The real apocalypse is starting — right on time, Mayans.
According to the Long Island Crime Examiner, a 26-year-old man named Jared Gurman has been charged with second-degree attempted murder for shooting his girlfriend in the back with a .22 caliber assault rifle early Monday morning, after their heated fight over the AMC TV show The Walking Dead.
What exactly were they fighting about? "He felt very adamant," Detective Lt. Raymond Cote told reporters Tuesday (via NBC News), "there could be a military mishap [on the show] that would result in some sort of virus being released that could cause a terrible thing to happen." Apparently the girlfriend, not named, did not agree. "She felt it was ridiculous," said Cote. "He's passionate about it. And it escalated to the point it did."
She decided she didn't want to spend the night with him, so she dropped him off at his home, but their argument continued via text messaging. The girlfriend decided to go back to his house to try to calm him down, since apparently he was sounding angry and bitter. When she got there, police said, he was standing outside with his rifle and eventually shot a single round into her back, leaving her with a pierced lung, shattered rib, pierced diaphragm and severe bleeding. According to Examiner, she was in serious but stable condition.
Weirdly enough, alcohol and drugs were not involved, and he has no history of mental illness. His attorney told area reporters the rifle "went off accidentally." The couple had been dating for a little less than four years.
It sounds like this is about more than The Walking Dead, like that guy who shot his TV because Bristol Palin was on Dancing With the Stars. Passion is good, but even Shane might not shoot someone just because they disagreed about a potential military virus.

The Seven Deadly Sins: we all have at least one, don't we? What is yours? Let's see…
Greed? Well, haven't we all wished for just a bit more, whether it be money, fame or a bigger slice of the pie? Haven't you ever sidled ever so discreetly up to the buffet table and refilled your plate, taken an extra dessert or grabbed that second, third or fourth glass of champagne while no one was looking?
Envy? Hmmm, the neighbor's new car, your sister's wedding gifts, your colleagues suddenly larger breasts? Come on, fess up!
Sloth? Ah, those lazy Sundays in bed, something popped into the microwave or a quick call to the local pizzeria? Who doesn't wake up every couple of mornings, knock the alarm clock off the nightstand and bury their head further down under the covers? Weekends spent with our legs up as the dog scratches at the door, the kids clamor in asking what's for lunch and the spouse is mowing the yard, unable to move farther than the sofa or the nearest lounge chair, joined rapidly by said spouse, deciding that the best move is none at all.
Wrath? Lust? Pride? There is always some clever tv psychologist who will try and convince us that any and all of the above are normal and even, in slight doses, healthy. Well, kept under control, who's to say they aren't? We all have the monster on our shoulder to battle with as we see fit.
And my sin (although I do pray that it is not deadly) must be Gluttony. Food is my pleasure, my weakness. Thomas Aquinas wrote that Gluttony is "...not (about) any desire of eating and drinking, but an inordinate desire...leaving the order of reason, wherein the good of moral virtue consists." Yipes! I have always considered myself a highly moral person, but, put like this, I guess old Thomas was right. Reason does leave me every so often. This does stir up youthful memories of sneaking into Grandma's kitchen at night with my brother, grabbing handfuls of marshmallows and candy bars and scurrying back into the room we shared, our Gluttony momentarily making us risk untold punishment if discovered, yet never daring to turn on the lights knowing full well that the light would be visible to the adults through the crack in the door. (Then promptly dropping all of the goodies in the dark, all joy of the purloined treasure rolling under the beds).
Ditto at Girl Scout Camp, sneaking into the kitchen to steal back the candy taken out of our luggage and locked up by the camp counselors, risking public banishment from camp. Or eating too much candy at Halloween only because we could, or filling up our plates at the cake table even before the main meal had been served at any number of Bar Mitzvah luncheons or wedding parties. Spending our allowance at the corner drug store instead of saving it up for something more sensible.
Well, even as I grew up into adulthood, Gluttony has never left me. While the men in my house turn down dessert, have no desire to snack, leave pans of brownies untouched for days at a time, I find myself dashing into the kitchen every ten minutes or so to shove a hunk or a chunk of something sweet or savory into my mouth, praying that the old adage "if you eat it standing up it has no calories" is true after all. My purse is always filled with chocolate bars and lollipops, the car always stocked with boxes of cookies whether for an hour's drive or driving crosscountry. There is Gluttony in my cooking, too, making enough food for 10 when we will only be 6, or making two desserts "just in case", and finding a reason to taste them both.
So when I have decided that I have been eating too much, baking too much, putting back on those few pounds that I had so struggled to lose, when hubby and I decide that it is diet time, once again, well, then what do I do but bake? And bake some more.
And my punishment? The complaints, the dirty looks, the groans, the platters of goodies left untouched, the accusations ("Stop shoving food down our throats!" "Whatever your friends on-line tell you to cook, you cook, and then we have to eat it!").
I had a craving for a Chocolate Roll, and I had a craving for cherries and cream. And of course, not wanting my family to go hungry or, heaven forbid, go sweet-free, I simply had an uncontrollable urge to bake this dessert. And then eat large slices of it thinking, as I shoveled it as delicately as was possible under the circumstances, that maybe, just maybe, after all, I am a Glutton for Punishment!
COCOA SOUFFLE ROLL filled with PERFECT WHIPPED CREAM and CHERRIES
From Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Cake Bible
This is easy to put together, light as a feather with a beautiful chocolate flavor. Perfect filled with simple or lightly flavored (mocha, coffee, fruit or chestnut) whipped cream, a whipped ganache for a richer, more elegant dessert, or generously spread with your favorite jelly or jam. This cake roll is made without flour, so it is perfect during Passover or for those looking for a gluten-free dessert.
1/3 cup + 1 Tbs (35 g) unsifted cocoa powder
¼ liquid cup (60 ml) boiling water
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbs (30 g) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
2/3 cup (130 g) sugar
6 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup (35 g) finely ground toasted almonds, optional
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 17 x 12" (@ 45 x 30 cm) jelly-roll pan, line it with nonstick liner or foil, and grease again.
If filling the chocolate roll with the Perfect Whipped Cream, put all of the ingredients listed below into a large glass bowl, cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and put into the refrigerator, along with the beaters, to chill.
In a small bowl, stir together 1/3 cup (all but 1 Tbs) of the cocoa powder with the boiling water until the cocoa is completely dissolved and smooth. Stir in the butter until it is melted and then the vanilla. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 6 egg yolks with ½ cup (100 g) of the sugar and beat, using an electric mixer, for 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the chocolate mixture, and the ground almonds if using, and beat until incorporated and well-blended, scraping down the sides as necessary.
In a large copper of plastic bowl (preferably not glass), beat the egg whites until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually, as you continue beating, add the rest of the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
With a large whisk, slotted spoon or spatula, fold about 1/3 of the beaten whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it before folding in the rest of the whites in 2 or 3 additions. Fold in the whites gently but until completely blended in.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes. The cake will have puffed, faded in color and lost its shine and the surface will spring back when lightly touched.
Wet a clean dishtowel and ring it out well. Take the cake out of the oven and, leaving it in the pan, place it on a cooling rack to cool. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder evenly all over the cake and cover with the damp dish towel. Allow to cool for several minutes.
Prepare the PERFECT WHIPPED CREAM or other filling :
1 liquid cup (250 ml) heavy whipping cream
1 Tbs sugar
½ tsp vanilla
a cup or so of jarred cherries, drained
Remove the chilled bowl and ingredients from the fridge and beat until stiff peaks form.
To make the filled chocolate roll :
Holding onto the liner overhang, lift the cake out of the pan and remove the dish towel. Spread evenly with the whipped cream and then dot with the cherries. Gently roll up the cake, using the liner to lift, peeling away the liner as you go.
Carefully lift the cake onto a serving platter and push off of the last bit of liner. Refrigerate at least an hour before serving. When ready to serve, sprinkle with either cocoa powder or powdered sugar.
Result :
Using one whole recipe of the whipped cream made rolling up and moving the cake onto the platter extremely difficult and it slithered around and spread out. But what the heck, it was so delicious! I could've added more cherries, as well. The cake is truly light and airy, yet fabulously delicious, just the right combination of chocolate and cream. We love this spread with cherry jelly as a wonderful breakfast cake (during Passover), or spread with my favorite coffee-flavored whipped cream.

I am insulted that anyone would think that having an affordable way to dispose of their trash that generates public revenue is a bad thing. This attitude strikes me as out of touch with working Vermonters and the daily struggle they face in making ends meet. I make $45,000 a year as a union representative for the VSEA. This is a fair wage. But with this wage I must support a wife, a 4-year-old child and come August a new baby boy. This $45,000 does not go very far when one has to spend $100 a week on food, another $100 on gas, another $100 on family health care, regressive taxes, etc. And now I, and hundreds of other working people in Moretown, will be asked to make a choice between burning one's trash or spending $4 a bag for garbage at a different facility?
We live in a world where even if you belong to the local food co-op, the average household generates two bags of trash a week. We have modern packaging to blame for much of this. For most of us the days of going out to the barn to get our milk are over. My family gets our eggs from our chickens, but our bread comes in a wrapper and milk comes in a plastic jugs. And now I will be asked to reduce my pay by $8 a week to dispose of my trash at a different facility; $8 is the combined price of a gallon of milk, a loaf of reasonable bread and maybe a stick of butter. Furthermore, our taxes will go up, or the basic services our town receives will be gutted.
I am not a stranger to environmentalism or opposed to the goals of most Vermont environmental organizations. But we make trash and that trash needs to go somewhere. If we burn it in our backyards we are told it generates greenhouse gasses and pollution. If we bring it to a landfill, shouldn't we keep it all in one place?
Bottom line, the landfill, any landfill, sucks. But we already have a landfill and even if we closed it today, it would still be a smelly bad place. But it is here and it is very real and I for one think we should keep it where it is, expand it modestly and seek to retain its centralizing aspect. I would rather it (the trash) be in one place than in many. We should also increase recycling, reduce or eliminate unnecessary packaging and generally be moving in a direction where landfills are not necessary. But as we transition to this better, more sustainable society, we should not put our heads in the sand, seek to hide our trash (at someone else's expense) and sacrifice the public revenue benefits that Moretown Landfill has historically generated for us.
I would suggest we require the managers of the landfill to take every step necessary to make sure toxins stay put, that our water is not affected, that the site limits bad smells, that no out-of-state trash is unloaded, that Moretown residents be granted free trash disposal and that the dump maximize energy production through the capturing of byproduct gasses.
When I served two terms on our select board, I suggested that we turn our landfill money into green money. I proposed that we invest a portion of our annual tipping fees into a municipal solar project and in local wind energy production. I also floated the idea of using dump money to purchase local forestlands in order for our community to sustainably log for revenue. In addition to local public revenue, all of these projects would have also supported job creation. These suggestions failed to garner a majority support among the select board. The tipping fees continued to go to offset taxes for higher income residents. That's right; to reduce taxes for those of means.
In an average year a person who lives in Moretown and rents their home gets nothing as a benefit of the annual landfill revenue. A family with a $50,000 mobile home in Moretown will get $50 off their property taxes as a result of the landfill money. A person with a $100,000 home will get a $100 reduction. Those with a $250,000 home (I would venture to say the average) would get a $250 reduction (a number which is reasonable and fair). But, as soon as we get to a property worth $1 million, the savings through the offset would be $1,000 a year. When you directly tie landfill revenue to tax breaks, our tax structure is such that those with more receive more of a benefit, and those with less receive less benefit. Lots of our collective money went to those who did not need the subsidy.
I suggest that Moretown support the expansion of the dump so that we keep Vermont's trash centralized and controlled, but that we do so only under the conditions that those who manage the landfill make sure pollutants do not get into our water supply or into the soil. I suggest we require the landfill to capture more of the resulting gasses to produce electricity. Tipping fees should be increased so our community earns a base of at least $600,000. I suggest that the select board bring proposals to Town Meeting which would invest that money in locally produced, carbon neutral projects that would generate new long-term revenue for Moretown.
If we did these things and added 20 years of life of the landfill, we could generate resources that could be used to progressivelyreduce taxes for working families, boost locally controlled social benefits and even expand our pre-K public school program to better allow families to work full time to better support their children.
I think the landfill should remain open (with conditions), and I for one believe we should and must convert any public landfill revenue into green, sustainable revenue.

Great news
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Excerpt: "New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
"He did OK," coach Tom Coughlin said after Nicks participated in the portion of practice open to the media on Friday. "We'll have to see how he is."
Nicks has missed the last three games because of swelling in his knee and pain in his surgically repaired right foot.
It is unknown if he'll travel with the team to San Francisco.In the two games he's played this season, the 24-year-old wide receiver has caught 14 passes for 237 yards and a touchdown."He'd be a huge asset to our team (if he's able to play)," Coughlin said. "But we'll have to wait and see."Domenik Hixon has been starting in place of Nicks." Read more...

Excerpt: "Yeah. I would like to see what the coaches are going to say, what theyre going to say about it in the morning and what the trainers are going to say; but I think Ive got a pretty good shot, said Nicks, who has sat out the last three games due to swelling in his knee and pain in his surgically-repaired right foot.
I practiced. I did the majority of the practice about four or five reps a period, about what I would normally do on a Friday practice. I did good. I had coach watching me, asking how I looked, was I compensating or anything like that. I wasn't, so I looked good. I feel good about it.

The Yadkin County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Marshals Service Joint Fugitive Task Force, local Probation officials and The North Carolina Department of Public Safety conducted a sex offender registry compliance check on July 9 and 10 this week.
There are a total of 76 offenders registered in Yadkin County. The check was to locate and make sure all offenders were in compliance with the law.
During the checks, several violations were found and are under investigation. Charges will be filed after the investigations are complete.
Bill Stafford of the U.S. Marshals Service said, "Conducting compliance checks, like this one in Yadkin County, is a great tool for identifying non-compliant sex offenders. Joining with the Sheriff's Offices in identifying violators of sex offender registry statues is a priority of the U.S. Marshals Service here in the Middle District of North Carolina. When Law Enforcement agencies work together, the community benefits."

What a great event for UK mma. Plenty of countrymen for us to cheer for. I'm actually fond of most of the people on this card anyway English or not.
What the hell is up with Dan Hardy only being one fight away from a title shot though?! I consider myself a fan but no way can I agree with that.

The all-in-one model comes with 8 GB of 1600 MHz memory, a 1-terabyte hard drive, third-generation, quad-core Intel Core i5 processor which is upgradable to Core i7, and 60 percent faster performance with the latest Nvidia GeForce graphics processor. There's also a new design, reduced reflection on the 21.5-inch, 1920x1080 screen, and an optional Fusion Drive, which combines 128 GB of flash solid-state storage with a 1-terabyte hard drive. A 27-inch model will be available in December.
New Apple models could take advantage of a window of opportunity for the company, according to Avi Greengart, an analyst with industry research firm Current Analysis. He told us Apple could "grab market share from Microsoft, particularly on the desktop," for a reason that could be seen as particularly ironic.
'Closer' to Windows 7
Customers looking to buy a new PC, Greengart said, will have to choose one with Windows 8. But, instead of the moving to the new Microsoft OS, with its new user interface and a learning curve for many basic functions, customers might choose to move to Mac, he said.
The reason? "The Mac OS is now actually closer to the user interface in Windows 7 than the new Windows 8 is," Greengart said. While the newest Mac OS utilizes some aspects from Apple's iOS platform, he pointed out that it is still primarily designed for a mouse and keyboard. On the other hand, Greengart noted, Windows 8 "is primarily designed for a finger."
Windows 8 is based around a new, touch-optimized interface of colorful tiles with live data. "There isn't a traditional interface in Windows 8," he said. Greengart noted that, even if one chooses to utilize the "classic" interface designed for keyboard and mouse, it is not exactly like the classic one in Windows 7, and users will need to learn new ways, for instance, to start applications or to print.
Design, Fusion Drive
"It's an easier transition from Windows 7 to Mac OS than from Windows 7 to Windows 8," he said. Greengart added that he likes Windows 8 on a tablet, where the touch interface can be used to its fullest, but that he "genuinely" dislikes using the OS with a mouse. "I'm not saying it's bad, but it's a different learning curve, and the UI is a radical departure" from Windows 7, he said.
Greengart also pointed to two innovative aspects of the new iMac. One is its "striking" design, which makes the screen look "razor thin" when seen at an angle. At its edges, the new computer is only 0.2 inches thick.
The other innovation he cited is the optional Fusion Drive, which constantly and automatically optimizes storage between the magnetic drive and the solid-state storage. The intended result is to provide the kind of storage volume to which users have become accustomed in a desktop unit, while offering fast load times.

An Augusta man was detained after he allegedly tried to rob an employee of a North Augusta restaurant late Monday, according to the North Augusta Department of Public Safety.
Chauncy Pierre Johnson, 20, of McCauley Street in Augusta, was charged with attempted armed robbery and placed in the Aiken County detention center, where he remained on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident happened just before 11 p.m. at the Papa John's on Edgefield Road, according to an incident report. An employee told officers he was standing outside the restaurant taking a smoke break when an unknown man approached him and asked him for a cigarette.
The victim gave a cigarette to the suspect, who then asked, "Where is the money at?" the report stated. The victim said he didn't have any money, and the suspect pulled his jacket back, showing he had a gun in his pants pocket. He then told the victim to empty his pockets, and when the victim said he wasn't getting any money, the suspect turned and walked away, according to the report. The victim reentered the store and called police, providing a description of the suspect.
A man who had been inside the Papa John's during the incident followed the suspect to some self storage units on Bradleyville Road, police said. Officers arrived on scene and set up a perimeter.
The suspect was eventually caught and arrested, according to the report. He had taken off his backpack, shirt and pants and thrown them into some bushes at the storage center. The victim was brought from the Papa John's to identify Johnson as the suspect.
