5 Considerations Prior to Becoming an Entrepreneur
Upon opening up my staffing agency, I did not factor in certain considerations that I recommend many entrepreneurs think about before opening a business. I feel as if I got lucky.
As aspiring entrepreneurs, we never want to over think opening a business, but we never want to under think the important aspects that encompass successful business ownership.
Below, I've included five factors that every aspiring entrepreneur should consider upon going out on his or her own:
1. Can You Go Without a Paycheck? If you're looking to open a business, you should plan to go without any revenue for at least 3 months if not more.
The longer you can go the better, plus the more reserves you have, the pickier you can be about what clients you take on.
2. Are You Being Realistic About the Industry? Prior to opening the business, ask yourself whether you like the industry, whether you are going to be able to break into it and whether you are going to be able to make the money you want.
3. Do You Have a Marketing Plan? Marketing your company is one of the most important things you can do to obtain new business. Prior to quitting your job, make sure that you determine what your marketing plan is and how it is going to translate into sales.
Think about how your service is going to be different and be creative. To really be successful as an entrepreneur, you must stand out.
4. Are You Willing to Work the Necessary Hours? Entrepreneurship takes a huge commitment and to get your business off the ground, you should expect 18-hour days. Nothing great comes easy and entrepreneurship is no exception.
Prior to quitting your job, make sure that you are willing to work harder than you are now, as owning a business takes a lot of devotion.
5. Are You Becoming an Entrepreneur for the Right Reasons? There are right and wrong reasons for becoming an entrepreneur and many people open a business for the wrong reasons, making success all the more difficult.
Remember that things such as not liking your boss or being bored at your job should not be the drivers for you opening your own business. Rather, being passionate about an industry and having a good idea of how to market it should.
In the End
While there are many considerations the potential entrepreneur should think about prior to opening his/her own company, the above five should prove to be big differentiators as to whether it will or will not be a successful endeavor.

New Bush on the ballot
By Patricia Kilday Hart, Houston Chronicle : March 12, 2013 : Updated: March 12, 2013 8:53pm
Photo By San Antonio Express-News / File photoGeorge P. Bush, a lawyer from Fort Worth, is the grandson of one president and the nephew of another. His father is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Ending months of speculation, Fort Worth attorney George P. Bush announced he'd run for Texas land commissioner with a Twitter message Tuesday after confirming that current Commissioner Jerry Patterson won't seek re-election.
Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, also launched a two-minute campaign video on YouTube.
In it, he credited his grandmother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, with his decision to seek public office.
"The important lesson Ganny taught me was the importance of public service," he said.
The Navy vet, 36, said he wants to lead the General Land Office because it's responsible for policy in areas he is passionate about: veterans affairs, education and energy.
"We respect and honor our veterans," he said. "We know the men and women in our military deserve nothing but the best from each and every one of us."
Patterson announced months ago he would run for lieutenant governor, setting up a showdown with Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
In January, Bush filed a campaign finance report with the Texas Ethics Commission reporting he had gathered $1.3 million in contributions.
Speculation about the office he would seek heated up, as did discussion about how Bush, whose mother was born in Mexico and became a naturalized citizen, could help his party attract Hispanic voters.
"The problem he has is his name is Bush," Patterson said. "It is both a blessing and a curse."
Republican consultants are more enthusiastic.
"Great name, even better Rolodex," consultant Eric Bearse said. "He'll have to succeed on his own merits but he's bright, talented and has unlimited potential."
Progress Texas Executive Director Matt Glazer said the Bushes' long political history could work against the newest family candidate.
"Unless George P. Bush can prove he's not just another Bush, his candidacy is likely to be met with strong opposition across the state," Glazer said.
Rep. Trey Martinez-Fischer, D-San Antonio, chairman of the Texas House Mexican-American Caucus, said he doubted Bush could appeal to Hispanics unless he succeeds in changing his political party's positions on issues like education and health care.
Republican leaders cut $5.4 billion from the Texas education system in 2011 and Gov. Rick Perry has opposed expanding Medicaid, though 3 million Hispanics in Texas lack health insurance.

Unusual nest sites for southwestern Willow Flycatchers
Stoleson, Scott H.; Finch, Deborah M. 1999. Unusual nest sites for southwestern Willow Flycatchers. Wilson Bulletin. 111(4): 574-575.
The endangered southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) is an obligate riparian species that typically nests in willow (Salix spp.) thickets or other dense, shrubby habitats. We report on the first nests in Arizona sycamore (Platanus wrightii) and in a climbing rose vine (Rosa multiflora). Although these nests were located in novel substrates, they were typical for the species in being supported by multiple small stems and in having a dense canopy cover. We suggest that nest substrate preferences of Willow Flycatchers in the Southwest may be broader than generally considered.
Keywords: southwestern Willow Flycatcher, Empidonax traillii extimus, nest sites

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
HOUFFALIZE, Belgium, Dec. 17, 2004 Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge got a hero's welcome today from local residents who endured some of the most brutal fighting of the battle between U.S. and German troops here 60 years ago.
Memorial ceremonies and a special Mass here commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge and civilians as well as troops who died here during the fighting.
Houffalize, on the banks of the Meuse River north of Bastogne, was a highly strategic crossroads during World War II. German troops fought bitterly to maintain their hold on the town, which was virtually destroyed during the battle and endured the deaths of some 200 of its citizens within just a few hours.
However, the U.S. 2nd, 3rd and 11th Armored divisions finally were able to break the Nazi stronghold here, after which Houffalize became a linkup point for the 1st and 3rd Armies as they forced the Germans to retreat to the east.
Sixty years later, residents here clapped as American veterans returned to the city to attend a church service and waved U.S. and Belgian flags during wreath- laying ceremonies at memorials to local citizens killed here and to their American liberators.
Local schoolchildren presented the veterans certificates declaring them honorary citizens of the town and expressed personal thanks on behalf of their townspeople.
"We salute you and pay respect to our American friends," Mayor Jose Lutgen told the veterans during a reception following the ceremonies. He recalled "those terrible days" when Houffalize had reached what seemed like rock bottom, then to be freed "by young soldiers who landed in the midst of enemy fire."
"You all were heroes," Lutgen said. "And today, 60 years later, we welcome you again as the heroes who helped us retrieve our lost freedoms."
Daniel Denning, principal deputy to the assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs, whose father was among the soldiers who fought at Houffalize, praised the veterans for overcoming severe hardships as they continued the fight in the Ardennes.
"You fought for freedom and for the people of Belgium and Luxembourg," Denning said. "But you also fought for each other." He likened the Battle of the Bulge soldiers to the 101st Airborne Division's Easy Company, popularized in the "Band of Brothers" book and television miniseries.
Denning called the 60th anniversary observances a fitting time "to commemorate the valor and sacrifice of those who fought here" and particularly to remember those who paid the ultimate price. Their sacrifices, he said, "will never be forgotten."
"I, like you, will never forget," agreed U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Tom Korologos. "And I assure you that the American people will also never forget."
Herbert Ridyard, who fought here as a private first class with the 94th Infantry Division during the battle, said he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of appreciation the veterans have received throughout their visit to Luxembourg and Belgium.
"The love of these people is what I'm going home with," he said. "It's been absolutely incredible."
"I'm very humbled and honored and overwhelmed by the Belgian people," agreed Charles Nelson, who 60 years ago was a private first class with the 87th Infantry Division. "This has truly been a mountaintop experience."
Nelson received a big hug during a reception here from Josiane Pelzer, a Luxembourger whose family was part of the resistance movement against their German occupiers during the war.
"My family was on the list to go to a concentration camp," Pelzer said. "I owe so very much to these soldiers. If it hadn't been for them and what they did for us, I would never have been born!"
Nelson said it's been an enlightening experience to return to the Ardennes with the fellow soldiers he served with six decades ago "to reconstruct what happened here and to see it through the eyes of the local people."
Reliving his person history, he said, "has been very emotional."
Army Maj. Gen. David Zabecki, commander of Task Force Ardennes 60, said he wants to ensure the 60th anniversary commemoration activities are "as meaningful as possible" to the returning veterans.
"This is the last major milestone when we will be able to thank many of these heroes face to face," he said.
In addition to helping the U.S. ambassadors to Belgium and Luxembourg maintain strong, positive relations between their host countries and the United States, Zabecki said he has his own personal agenda for the 60th anniversary activities.
"I want to expose as many young soldiers to these old soldiers as I can," he said. "The old guys love it, and the young guys need to be exposed to their heritage as soldiers."
Zabecki said it tickles him to watch the interaction between local children and the Battle of the Bulge veterans. "These young guys treat them like rock stars," he said. "It's really wonderful to see."

The boys are back for Rob and Big (Season 3) and once again, the world is a candy store for our heroes as they take to the streets with greater abandon than ever. The season starts when Rob and Big become crime-solvers and set out to determine who left a mystery "gift" in the pool. Drama, Rob's cousin/assistant, becomes the prime suspect so Rob hires a polygraph expert to test his innocence or guilt. Another escapade unfurls when the guys decide to take a road trip up the California coast to enter Mini in a mini-horse show. In a mind-blowing "Guinness Book of World Records" chase, Rob and Big seek to officially rock the world with their record-smashing abilities. Rob makes an attempt to break more skateboarding world records than the Guinness judge has ever seen in one day, and Big goes after a few records of his own. The season wouldn't be complete without Rob and Big's beloved bulldog, Meaty. The guys spoil their mutt by throwing him a birthday party with paparazzi, a dog-friendly cake, puppy ice sculptures, and a red carpet. These are just a few of the absurd exploits in the wildest season yet of Rob and Big. It's time to "Do Work!"

Home > Archaeology > Archaeo-passion > Discover Heritage Areas
Where can you see and learn from archaeological resources? Listed below are
some of the many Parks Canada heritage areas in Canada where you can find
out more about archaeological resources in person or online.
Discover the sod buildings of the Vikings at
L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site of Canada in
Newfoundland. Reproductions have been built some distance away from the original
site in order to preserve the integrity of the authentic structures. Archaeological
data indicate that this is the oldest known European colony in the New World.
Traces of occupation by Aboriginal inhabitants going back 6000 years are also
found on this site.
More on archaeology at L'Anse aux Meadows
For 10 000 years, the valleys, passes and high alpine
areas of Alberta's Banff National Park of Canada have
been occupied by people. These people had a profound knowledge of the resources
of the land and hunted and lived there, leaving many sites and objects behind.
Over 700 archaeological sites (both pre-contact and historic) have been recorded.
These sites contain artifacts, evidence of the presence of Aboriginal campsites,
butchering sites, quarries, mining towns and historical dumps.

Battle of the Restigouche National Historic Site of Canada is
located at the far end of Chaleur Bay, Quebec. It is the site of the last
naval battle between France and England over possession of the North American
continent. Vestiges of the frigate The Machault are on
display at the site's interpretation centre. At this National Historic
Site, you will discover a splendid collection of archaeological objects retrieved
from the wreck and will relive one of the little-known events of the
Seven Years' War in North America.
More on archaeology at Restigouche
The trade route at Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site of Canada in
British Columbia and the Yukon was used by coastal Tlingit as a route to the
interior. After the arrival of European and North American traders at
the end of the 19th century, this trail began to be used extensively. The Chilkoot
Trail became a legend during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896–1899. Though there
were other routes available, the Chilkoot Trail was shorter and also the cheapest.
It became known as the poor man's route to the Klondike because a man
could transport all his supplies without assistance. Tin cans, sleds,
boats, bottles, boots, stoves and hundreds of other items litter the trail,
bringing to life the story of the Klondike Gold Rush.
Coteau-du-Lac National Historic Site of Canada,
approximately 40 kilometres southwest of Montréal, Quebec, is witness
to a rich history several thousand years old. At first it was a seasonal portage
for Aboriginal peoples and later a bypass for travellers from Great Britain
and France. By the late 18th century, the English had constructed a canal with
locks, the first work of its kind in North America and direct forerunner of
the modern-day St. Lawrence Seaway. The visitor centre at the historic
site contains an exhibit highlighting some of the objects discovered
during the archaeological excavations of the site.

Fort Beauséjour National Historic Site of Canada in
New Brunswick, you are taken back to an era when England and France were
rivals for the control of Acadia and learn about the origins and fate of the
inhabitants of that region. Fort Beauséjour, constructed in the form
of a star, was built by the French in the 1750s when the French and English
were fighting each another for control of Acadia. You can see the archaeological
remains of the fort as well as a visitor's centre with exhibits.
Fort Chambly National Historic Site of Canada in
Quebec is an imposing stone sentinel that protected New France from British
attacks. Dating from the early 18th century, Fort Chambly attests to the history
of the French in North America. Objects from archaeological excavations carried
out in the 1970s can be found here.
More on archaeology at Fort Chambly
Fort St. Joseph National Historic Site of Canada in
Ontario symbolizes the commercial and military alliance that existed between
the British and the First Nations peoples of the western Great Lakes region
after the American Revolutionary War up until the War of 1812. In addition
to the fort itself, the site contains a remarkable assembly of archaeological
features that, in their unspoiled state, reveal in part the complex pattern
of life for military personnel, families and traders — Aboriginal and
European — who lived in this remote frontier outpost.
More on archaeology at Fort St. Joseph
Fort Walsh National Historic Site of Canada in
Saskatchewan was the headquarters of the North West Mounted Police from
1878 to 1882. The site commemorates the fort's key role in imposing Canadian
law, implementing Canada's Indian policy, and overseeing the settlement
of Sitting Bull's Sioux band refugees after the Battle of Little Bighorn.
But the site at Fort Walsh also has 7000 years of Aboriginal history. Teepee
circles, storage pits for provisions and stone tools scattered around the
site or exhibited in the visitor reception centre evoke winter encampments
of earlier Aboriginal and Métis communities.
Fort Wellington National Historic
Site of Canada is located in the old town of Prescott, Ontario. It was constructed to defend the
border along the St. Lawrence River during the War of 1812 and was occupied
by British soldiers and Canadian militiamen until 1923. In 1925, the fort was
designated a place of national historic importance by the Historic Sites and
Monuments Board of Canada. Archaeological excavations have been conducted at
the fort and in 1990, excavations of the latrines unearthed several thousand
objects that had belonged to members of the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment and
their families.
At the
Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site of Canada,
in Nova Scotia, 20 percent of the fortified town could and has been
re-created with great authenticity because of the large amount of data collected
during the archaeological excavations. Go back to 1744! In the past, the
Fortress of Louisbourg was one of the most important ports in North America
and one of the military and commercial centres of France in the New World.
The themes interpreted there are well worth any detour.
Grand-Pré National Historic Site of Canada in
Nova Scotia commemorates the Grand-Pré area as a centre of Acadian
settlement from 1682 to 1755. It also marks the Deportation of the Acadians
that began in 1755 and continued until 1762. Archaeologists have discovered
ruins of buildings and other objects on this site. Additional information
can be found at
Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site of Canada in
British Columbia commemorates the history of Canada's West Coast fishing
industry from the 1870s to the present time. The collection of archaeological
objects is composed of approximately 10 000 items, including canning

The Gitwangak Battle Hill Fort National Historic Site of Canada in
British Columbia is the first major Aboriginal site in the West to be commemorated
by Parks Canada. It is located near a trade route that Aboriginal peoples
used between the Nass and Skeena rivers. The Gitwangak Battle Hill is a vibrant
expression of the culture and history of the Tsimshian people. The site is
formed of a defensive knoll, or Ta'awdzep, on top of which are archaeological
remains of fortified residences that were occupied during the historical period.
Descriptive panels along the self-guided path tell the history of the site
and provide information about the culture of the Tsimshian people.
Treaty #1 between the British Crown and the Ojibway and Swampy Cree of Manitoba was signed at
Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site of Canada.
Lower Fort Garry was also an important agricultural and industrial supply centre
for the fur trade in Western Canada. Visit the buildings and grounds of the
fort and go back in time. Years of historical and archaeological research allowed
the restoration of the Governor's residence, guest lodge, blacksmith's shop,
bakery and all the other buildings of the fort. Today, the fort looks and functions
as it did in the 1850s.
Port au Choix National Historic Site of Canada,
on the west side of Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula, has been the subject
of many archaeological excavations. Researchers at the Port au Choix have found
remains of four ancient cultures (Maritime Archaic Indian, Dorset and Groswater
Paleoeskimo, and recent Indians) and have shown that human activity at this
site dates back thousands of years.

Port-la-Joye–Fort Amherst National Historic Site of Canada commemorates
the first permanent European colony in Prince Edward Island. You can still see
the grassy remains of the fort, and the exhibits on site explain its special
If you go to Red Bay National Historic Site of Canada in
Labrador, you will discover how more than 25 years of archaeological research
has revealed some 20 whaling stations around the harbour of Red Bay that
were established by 16th-century fishermen from the Basque country. Marine
archaeological excavations resulted in the discovery of three galleons and
several small Basque crafts that are remarkably well-preserved examples of
16th-century shipbuilding techniques.

At Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site of Canada,
Alberta, the visitor reception centre has an educational exhibit area devoted
to the fur trade, the exploration of the West and the Aboriginal peoples.
From the time the first two fur-trading posts were opened in 1799 until the
last post was abandoned in 1875, hundreds of people passed through the different
Rocky Mountain House trading posts. You can walk the short distance
to the place where the forts were built during the periods 1835–1861
and 1864–1875; the reconstructed chimneys are in the last fort. A longer
walk leads to the place where the first two forts of Rocky Mountain House
were built in 1799.
Tuktut Nogait National Park of Canada in
the Northwest Territories contains archaeological sites showing evidence of
human occupation since AD 1000. The oldest known archaeological sites in the
park are most likely Thule or Copper Inuit from the period AD 1200 to 1500.
More recent sites are Inuvialuit and possibly early trappers and traders.

Strategically located on the Hayes River near Hudson Bay, Manitoba,
York Factory National Historic Site of Canada
wasan important fur-trading post and warehouse in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
Although today the site consists only of two buildings, a cemetery and some
other visible ruins, the extreme isolation of the site reinforces the value
of the historical interrelationships between individual elements on the site.

Teen Mom
See Maci Bookout's Shocking Transformation: The Teen Mom Then and Now (PHOTOS)
We first met adorable Tennessee native Maci Bookout on 16 and Pregnant nearly four years ago when she was pregnant with baby Bentley, and since then, Maci has gone through a pretty drastic transformation.
The cute redhead quickly became a fan favorite thanks to her adorable baby boy, no-nonsense parenting style, and cute appearance, but in recent years (since joining the cast of Teen Mom) Maci has shed her girl next door image in favor of an edgier look.
The above left picture of Maci was taken in 2010 at an event for The Candie's Foundation, and it shows a baby-faced girl with minimal makeup and gorgeous red hair smiling sweetly for the cameras.
The picture on the right side, however, was taken just weeks ago and shows a much more adult version of Ms. Bookout. Her youthful red hair has since been replaced with platinum blonde locks (complete with black streaks, natch!), and her heavy makeup is a stark contrast from her nearly bare-faced look in 2010.
Maci's sweet smile is still there, but the different hairstyle and severe eye makeup gives one of our fave teen moms an unmistakable air of sophistication.
Which look of Maci's do you prefer?

Aggies and Vandals Kick Off Second Half of WAC Schedule
The New Mexico State women's basketball team (5-17, 2-5 WAC) visits Idaho (7-16, 2-5) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday to begin the second half of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) schedule. Both teams are 2-5 in conference and coming off of a win at the midpoint of the league schedule. The Aggies knocked off the Vandals in Las Cruces earlier this season, 61-47 on Jan. 14.
Fans can listen to the game live on KSNM 570 AM with Kyle Doperalski calling the action. Live updates via Twitter will be available by following @NMStateAggies. Live stats links can be found at NMStateSports.com.
The Aggies' win on Jan. 14 snapped a seven-game Idaho win streak in the series. UI leads 18-9 in the 27 all-time meetings between the teams. NM State has not won in Moscow since a 54-51 win on Feb. 7, 2008.
New Mexico State is coming off of its biggest win of the season, a 70-50 defeat of Nevada Saturday in Las Cruces. Prior to that win, the Aggies fell 79-54 at home to league-leading Fresno State.
The Vandals had lost eight games in a row until last weekend. Idaho swept Hawai'i (69-61) and San Jose State (67-63) on the road to post its first win streak of the season. Two of the Vandals' seven wins are against non-Division I opponents this season.
Inside the Series with Idaho
Idaho leads the all-time series between the schools, 18-9, and has won seven of the last eight in the series. NM State snapped UI's seven-game win streak in the series on Jan. 14, 61-47. UI swept NM State last season after a 73-65 win in Las Cruces on March 3 and a 64-51 victory in Moscow on Jan. 29.
In 2010, the Vandals completed a season sweep and notched a tourney win over the Aggies. UI edged NM State twice that year during the regular season winning 68-65 in Las Cruces and 60-59 in Moscow. The teams later met in the WAC tourney and the fourth-seeded Vandals came out on top of the fifth-seeded Aggies in Reno, 75-63 on March 10. NM State has not won in Moscow since a 54-51 win on Feb. 7, 2008.
Since NM State joined the WAC in 2005, Idaho holds a 9-5 advantage overall in the series. More than half (14) of the all-time meetings have been decided by 10 points or less including five of the last nine.
Prior to 2006, the teams had not met since 2001 when NM State scored a 79-65 win during the Idaho State Tournament on Nov. 17. That's the only neutral court win for the Aggies in the series. From 1997-2000, both schools were members of the Big West Conference. Idaho built its series lead during those four seasons winning six of eight contests.
The Vandals won the first two meetings between the programs in the 1980's during tourneys at Wyoming and San Diego State. The teams split a non-conference home-and-home series in the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons with each squad winning on its home court.
Scouting the Vandals
The Idaho Vandals (7-16, 2-5), of the Western Athletic Conference, are 3-8 at home this season but 0-3 within the WAC at the Cowan Spectrum. Idaho is 6-4 when scoring 63 points or more this season. Additionally, the Vandals are 3-15 when allowing opponents 60 points or more this season.
On offense Idaho averages 60.2 points per game and shoots 38.0 percent from the field. Defensively, the Vandals allow 67.0 points per game and hold opponents to 37.4 percent shooting from the floor. UI ranks No. 65 nationally with 4.5 blocks per game.
Sophomore forward Alyssa Charlston paces the Vandal offense with 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Freshman guard Stacey Barr is second on the team in scoring at 9.8 per contest. Sophomore center Ashley Walters averages 1.9 blocks per game to rate No. 59 in the nation.
Last Time against the Vandals
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Jan. 14) - The New Mexico State women's basketball team snapped a seven-game losing streak to Idaho and earned its first Western Athletic Conference (WAC) win in the process with a 61-47 victory over the Vandals inside the Pan American Center Saturday afternoon.
The Aggies trailed 26-23 at halftime but posted their largest second-half point total of the season of 38. They combined that with their best defensive effort in the second half this year, holding Idaho to just 21 points after the break to secure the victory.
That combination provided NM State its largest victory margin of 2011-12. Tonight's second-half surge also snapped the Aggies' streak of eight consecutive games that saw NM State outscored in the second half dating back to the UNM game on Dec. 4. It marked just the third time this season that the Crimson and White won the second half this season.
NM State made its move three minutes into the second half. The Aggies strung together a 10-0 run over the next four minutes behind four points apiece from seniors Kelsie Rozendaal and Tabytha Wampler. The Aggies led 37-31 after the rally. UI closed to within three shortly thereafter but Rozendaal sparked another 10-1 run to put NM State up by double digits.
Wampler led the Aggies with her seventh double-double of the year and 16th of her career totaling 11 points and 10 rebounds. Senior Kaitlyn Soto dropped in a team-high 14 points and classmate Erica Sanchez added 10. Junior Camila Rosen was a just shy of a double-double with nine points and nine boards.
NM State improved to 4-13 overall and evened its WAC record at 1-1 after the win. Idaho dropped to 5-13 overall and 0-2 in conference with the loss.
The Aggies shot 43 percent (23-54) in the game while holding Idaho to 26 percent (14-53) from the field. NM State held UI to just 6-of-28 in the second half. The Aggies won the battle of the boards 42-37. Idaho made 6-of-16 from beyond the arc while NM State made 5-of-13. Both teams turned the ball over 15 times on the night.
Soto and Wampler started the scoring for the Aggies for an early 4-0 lead, 2:30 into the ball game. After a single made free throw from Idaho, the teams traded three-point baskets the next three times up the court. The pair of Aggie treys came from Sanchez. A bucket from Rosen gave NM State its largest lead of the half at the 13:55 mark at 12-4.
Idaho's offense began to click over the next four minutes as the Vandals answered with an 8-0 run to knot the game at 12-12. UI moved ahead for the first time at the 6:47 mark, 15-14, after a made three-point basket.
The Aggie offense stalled as Idaho continued to stretch its lead to its largest of the game at 24-16 with 90 seconds left in the half following a 9-0 rally. NM State closed the gap to three, 26-23, after a traditional three-point play from sophomore guard Jasmine Rutledge capped off a 7-2 Aggie run to end the half.
The Aggies shot 38 percent (10-26) in the first half and held Idaho to 32 percent (8-25) from the field. NM State trailed 21-14 on the boards in the first half. The Aggies made their only free throw attempt while Idaho went 6-of-10 on free throws in the half. NM State committed eight turnovers and forced nine Idaho miscues in the half. The NM State bench outscored Idaho's reserves 11-7 in the first 20 minutes.
Rozendaal sparked the first of two second-half runs for the Aggies at the 17-minute mark. She scored four straight to tie the game at 31-31 with 15:59 remaining. A bucket by Rosen gave NM State the lead for good out of a media timeout. Wampler then scored four straight to cap a 10-0 run and put the Aggies up 37-31 at the 13:02 mark.
After three points from the Vandals, Rozendaal again scored four straight to kick off another Aggie run. This time Soto scored a three and Rosen drained another three-pointer to finish off a 10-1 rally to push the NM State lead to 47-35 with 9:17 remaining. NM State led by double digits the rest of the way to close out its largest win of the season.
Sophomore forward Alyssa Charlston led Idaho with a double-double of 15 points and 13 rebounds tonight. Guard Krissy Karr added 12 for the Vandals.
Coach Trakh Approaches 500th Collegiate Game of Career
In his 17th year on the sidelines, NM State floor general Mark Trakh is quickly approaching his 500th career game as a head coach at the Division I level. The milestone game is set to take place Feb. 16 against Hawai'i in Las Cruces.
Trakh entered the 2011-12 season at 476 career games and a 289-187 (.607) record in 16 seasons. This season the Aggie head coach roamed the sideline in 21 of NM State's 22 games. Trakh did not travel to UMKC on Jan. 4. As a result, Trakh's career game No. 498 takes place Thursday at Idaho, followed by contest No. 499 at Utah State Saturday.
Prior to this season, Trakh spent 16 seasons coaching at the NCAA Division I level at both Southern California and Pepperdine. Trakh served as the head coach at USC from 2004-09, where he compiled a 90-64 overall record. Before accepting the position at USC, Trakh had a highly successful 11-year tenure as head coach at Pepperdine from 1993-2004. He ended his tenure with the Waves with a 199-123 overall record.
Wampler Nets Season High against Nevada
New Mexico State women's basketball senior Tabytha Wampler posted a season-high 25 points against the Wolf Pack on Feb. 4 during the Aggies' 70-50 triumph. She also grabbed 15 rebounds to post her eighth double-double of the season and 17th of her career.
The total edged out her previous season high of 24 set at Hawai'i on Jan. 21. On the islands she just missed a double-double with 24 points and nine rebounds.
Wampler finished one point shy of her career high of 26 set against Cal State Northridge last season on Dec. 5, 2010. Wampler also grabbed 14 rebounds against the Matadors that evening.
Soto Suffers Season-Ending Injury against LA Tech
Senior guard Kaitlyn Soto suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second half of the Aggies' home game against Louisiana Tech on Jan. 28. The loss of the Aggie point guard to a torn ACL deals a severe blow to the NM State offense.
Prior to the injury Soto was one of two players, along with classmate Tabytha Wampler, to start each game this season. She ranked second on the team in scoring at 9.0 points per game. Soto led the team in minutes played this season at 31.4 per game. She also led the team with 37 assists. Soto ranked second on the squad with 17 made three-point attempts as well as 17 steals.
Soto and Sanchez Sizzle in San Jose
Senior guards Kaitlyn Soto and Erica Sanchez each posted career high point totals of 23 and 20, respectively, at San Jose State Jan. 19. The duo combined for 43 of NM State's 62 points (69 percent) and each guard grabbed four rebounds against the Spartans.
Soto poured in 23 points that included a trio of three-point buckets, smashing her previous career high of 17 matched Jan. 1 against Shaw. The point guard was also a perfect 6-of-6 from the line while playing all 40 minutes of the game.
Sanchez fired in a career-best six long-range threes at SJSU that accounted for 18 of her career high 20 tallies. A crucial jumper from the right side late in the game accounted for the other bucket. Sanchez shot 46.1 percent from beyond the arc but went 1-of-3 inside the line. The new high point total tops her previous best of 16 tallies set earlier this season against Arizona Nov. 21 when Sanchez canned four three-point baskets against the Wildcats.
Aggies' Record Full of Nailbiters
NM State has played in five games, almost a quarter of its schedule thus far, in games decided by a single point. The Aggies are 2-3 in those games including a season-opening win at Houston on Nov. 11, 63-62, and their first home win of the year against UCSB on Dec. 19, 52-51.
Two of the three Aggie losses were at the hands of bitter rival New Mexico. The Lobos won in Albuquerque 54-53 on Dec. 4 before sweeping NM State after a 59-58 decision in Las Cruces Dec. 30. The third Aggie one-point defeat was to Southern Utah in the final game of the Hotel Encanto Classic as the Thunderbirds secured a 58-57 win in the final seconds on Nov. 27.
Missed It by That Much
Nine of the Aggies' 21 games this season have been decided by five points or less. Including its 2-3 record in one-point games, NM State is 2-7 overall in those contests.
NM State lost to rival UTEP, 76-72, on Nov. 16 in overtime. The Aggies fell 56-53 to Boise State on Jan. 7. Both of those contests took place at home in Las Cruces. The Aggies' latest close downfalls occurred on the road at San Jose State 67-62 Jan. 19 and at Hawai'i 51-48 Jan. 21.
The only other single-digit outcome this season was the Aggies' eight-point victory over Shaw on Jan. 1, 61-53.
Rosen Posts First Career Double-Double against Utah State
One game after posting a career-high 13 points against Boise State Jan. 7, junior guard Camila Rosen continued to capitalize on her role as the fifth player in the starting rotation that consists of four seniors. In the WAC opener against Utah State on Jan. 12, Rosen posted her first double-double of her career. She posted 10 points and a career-high 10 rebounds against USU.
Wampler Becomes 19th Member of Aggie 1,000-Point Club and Continues to Move Up the All-Time List
With her game-winning basket against UCSB Dec. 19 with 1:07 left in the game, senior Tabytha Wampler posted her 1,000th career point. Wampler becomes NM State's 19th member of the 1,000-point club with the bucket and third player to accomplish the feat in the past three seasons after departed seniors Danisha Corbett reach the milestone last season and Madison Spence attained the mark in 2010.
Wampler recently passed Paulina Blunt's (1989-94) career point total of 1,148 to move into No. 17 on the Aggie all-time scoring list on Feb. 4 with a season-high 25 points against Nevada. The senior co-captain currently has accumulated 1,154 career points, just eight points behind Aggie Hall of Famer Ann McReynolds (1975-78) who is currently No. 16 on the all-time list with 1,162 points. Wampler is only nine points behind former Aggie Donna Goggin (1975-79) for No. 15 overall.

16. Ann McReynolds (1975-78) 1,162 pts. 8
17. Tabytha Wampler (2008-present) 1,154 pts.
Wampler Climbing All-Time Rebound List
Wampler is also doing double duty on the floor this season for the Aggies. She is averaging just shy of a double-double through 22 games this season with 13.5 points and 9.7 boards per game. In 2011, the senior captain has added eight double dips to increase her career total to 17. Wampler posted her latest double-double in conference against Nevada Feb. 4 with 25 points and 15 rebounds.
Her eight double-doubles ranks among the top 50 nationally. Wampler is only the second Aggie since 2000 to post over a dozen dual performances on the court, ranking only behind former Aggie Sherell Neal's career total of 41.
Wampler opened the season by matching her career high in rebounds with 18 caroms at Houston and scored a team-high 21 points. In the Aggies' first home game of the year, Wampler posted her second dual performance of the season with 16 points and 16 rebounds against Idaho State. Her third double dip came against Arizona with 14 points and 13 caroms. Number four came at Boise State on Dec. 11 when Wampler posted 22 points and 13 boards.
Wampler started 2012 with back-to-back double-double outings after posting 15 points and 11 rebounds on New Year's Day against Shaw three days before recording 15 points and 12 boards Jan. 4 at UMKC. Against Idaho on Jan. 14 Wampler notched 11 points and 10 rebounds.
With 833 career boards, Wampler is climbing the Aggie all-time rebounding list. After grabbing 15 rebounds against Nevada, Wampler is four rebounds shy of seventh place and 15 boards out of sixth place on the all-time list.

Wampler Poised to Move into Third All-Time in Career Starts
Senior forward Tabytha Wampler, a four-year starter for NM State, has started 113 career contests and played in all 117 games during her time in Las Cruces. Wampler has started every game for the Aggies since Jan. 4, 2009, dating back to her first year in Crimson and White when she earned 2009 All-WAC Freshman Team honors.
The co-captain has started all 22 games so far this season. She also started all 32 games in both the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons.
During her freshman campaign in 2008-09 she started the first nine games of the year. Wampler then came off the bench for the four games over the holidays and later finished the season with 18 straight starts.
Heading into Thursday's game at Idaho, Wampler is tied with Aggie Hall of Famer Anita Maxwell for third on the all-time starts list at 113 career opening tips. With seven regular-season games remaining and at least one WAC tournament contest, Wampler could become the NM State all-time leader in career starts by season's end.
Departed senior Madison Spence (2007-11) currently holds the record of 121 career starts set last season after a pair of opening tips at the 2011 WAC Tournament. Spence slipped past the former career leader in all-time starts, Andrea Kabwasa (1988-92), who held the top mark for over 18 seasons of 120 starts.
NM State All-Time Starts List (spots 1-3) Total Margin Ahead of Wampler
1. Madison Spence (2007-11) 121 8
2. Andrea Kabwasa (1988-92) 120 7
T3. Tabytha Wampler (2008-12) 113
T3. Anita Maxwell (1992-96) 113
Should Wampler play in both games this week, she will tie Maxwell at No. 10 on the career games played list with 119.
Rozendaal Posts Career High at UMKC
Senior forward Kelsie Rozendaal swished her first three-point attempt of the year in the first half at UMKC Jan. 4 en route to a career high point total of 15 points that tied for the team-high total.
The three-pointer was only Rozendaal's second make in three career attempts, but she shot two additional treys against the Kangaroos making one and missing the other to finish the night at 67 percent from long range. The senior was slightly better at the free throw line going 3-of-4. Rozendaal also added four boards and ranked third on the squad with 26 minutes of action on the floor.
Womack Leads Aggies at Utah
Freshman guard Hannah Womack came off of the bench Dec. 23 at Utah to lead all Aggie scorers with 15 points. She shot 50 percent from long range (4-8). In 24 minutes of action, Womack was active on the floor defensively with a team high of two steals. Womack was the only Aggie in double figures against the Utes.
Her performance against the Utes marked the third game this season that the freshman led the Aggies in scoring. Womack posted 23 against UTEP in Nov. 16 and led NM State with 13 versus North Dakota on Nov. 26. On the season Womack is averaging 8.6 points per game to rank second on the team.
Womack also saw her free throw streak end at Utah after going 1-of-2 from the line. Prior to the contest, Womack had made her previous 15 attempts at the charity stripe spanning the past seven games.
Soto Sends Aggie Program's 500th Game in the Pan Am into OT
Senior guard Kaitlyn Soto capped a 5-0 rally with 30 seconds to go in regulation to force overtime but the Aggies fell to rival UTEP 76-72 in extra time in a game marked the women's basketball program's 500th game contested all-time in the Pan American Center.
Down two after a missed UTEP free throw, Soto drove the length of the floor and dropped in a game-tying layup with 0:00.5 seconds showing on the clock to force the extra session. The senior guard also scored the first bucket of overtime.
Aggies Open Season with Thrilling Road Win at Houston
NM State won a 63-62 thriller on the road against Houston in the Aggies' season opener inside UH's Hofheinz Pavilion Nov. 11. With five seconds on the clock and the Aggies up two, 63-61, UH senior Porsche Landry was fouled with 0.5 left on the clock and went to the line to shoot a pair of free throws. She made the first to post a career-high 37 points but missed the second to give NM State the victory.
An 11-0 Aggie run late in the second half helped the visitors take control of the game. NM State held UH scoreless for over 3:30 pushing the Aggies up 60-53 with 3:36 remaining. Aggie senior forward Tabytha Wampler scored six of her team-high 21 points during the rally. The forward fouled out with just over two minutes left in the game, but the Aggies held on for the one-point victory.
Trakh Signs Three Commitments for 2012-13 Season
New Mexico State women's basketball head coach Mark Trakh announced three new additions to the Aggie family each signed a National Letter of Intent Wednesday, Nov. 9 to play basketball at NM State beginning in the fall of 2012.

Aggies Tabbed Sixth in WAC Preseason Polls; Wampler Earns All-WAC Honors
The WAC coaches and media picked the New Mexico State women's basketball team to finish sixth in their respective preseason polls and both honored senior forward Tabytha Wampler with All-WAC preseason honors in a release by the conference Oct. 18.
The Aggies were also picked sixth in last season's preseason polls. NM State finished 14-18 overall and 7-9 in the conference to place in a tie for fifth last season and entered the WAC Tournament as the sixth seed.
A senior co-captain, Wampler earned First Team Preseason All-WAC honors from the media and garnered Second Team recognition from the coaches.
Wampler enters her senior season after starting all 32 games last year. She returns as the Aggies' leading scorer at 12.7 points per game and leading rebounder at 7.6 boards per game. Wampler posted seven double-doubles last season and ranked No. 31 nationally with an 85.1 free throw percentage.
The senior co-captain scored in double figures 25 times last season. Wampler led the team in rebounding 15 times and in scoring nine times in 2010-11 as a junior.
Last season departed seniors Madison Spence and Jasmine Lowe earned preseason second team honors from the media and coaches. Spence ended the season with All-WAC Second Team honors while Jasmine Rutledge claimed All-WAC Freshman team honors.
Aggies Battle through Difficult Schedule this Year
The Aggies' 2011-12 slate includes a dozen games against teams that played in postseason tournaments a season ago. NM State is set to host 16 games at the Pan American Center for the second straight season - matching the third-most amount of home contests in the NM State record books. It marks the 13th season that the Crimson and White play host to 15 or more opponents in the regular season. In those previous 12 seasons, NM State averaged 20 wins per year.
The Aggies' upcoming non-conference ledger consists of nine home match-ups and six road contests. Prior to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) schedule, NM State tips against four opponents with 2011 postseason appearances. The Aggies open the season at NCAA Tournament selection Houston (Nov. 11). NM State later hosts Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) opponents Arizona (Nov. 21), and UC Santa Barbara (Dec. 19).

The 2012 WAC Tournament will be held at a neutral site in Las Vegas for the second year in a row. The Orleans Arena will play host to both the men's and women's conference basketball tournaments March 7-10.
Four Returning Aggies Earn Academic All-WAC Honors
The 2010-11 Academic All-WAC women's basketball was announced in June. To be eligible, a student-athlete must have completed at least one academic year, have at least a 3.00 cumulative grade point average and have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's contests. The following is a list of the five winter sport honorees from the women's basketball squad: Christina Fletcher, So.; Malia Magazzeni, So.; Kaitlyn Soto, Jr.; Madison Spence, Sr. and Tabytha Wampler, Jr.
Trakh Becomes 10th Aggie Head Coach in Program History
New Mexico State athletic director Dr. McKinley Boston announced the hiring of Mark Trakh as the new head coach of the Aggie women's basketball program on April 8, 2011.
Trakh (pronounced TRACK), 55, becomes the 10th head coach in NM State history and has nearly 30 years of head coaching experience, including 16 at the NCAA Division I level at both Southern California and Pepperdine.
This is a milestone season for Trakh. He will coach his 500th career collegiate game in game 24 this season, which will be against Hawai'i on Feb. 16. With 11 victories this season, Trakh will reach 300 collegiate career wins.
Trakh served as the head coach at USC from 2004-09, where he compiled a 90-64 overall record. In his first two seasons, he guided the Women of Troy to their first NCAA appearances in seven years, as the team advanced to the second round in both 2005 and 2006. The Trojans finished in the top half of the Pac-10 all five years and were the conference tournament runner-up in 2009 and regular season runner-up in 2005.
Before accepting the position at USC, Trakh had a highly successful 11-year tenure as head coach at Pepperdine from 1993-2004. Under his direction, the Waves posted six consecutive 20-win seasons from 1997-2003, made six straight postseason appearances and claimed four West Coast Conference titles. Trakh was twice named the league's coach of the year in both 1999 and 2002, and ended his tenure with a 199-123 overall record and a 99-55 mark in the WCC.
Prior to entering the collegiate ranks, Trakh had a Hall of Fame career as the head girls' coach at Brea Olinda High School in Brea, Calif., from 1981-93. He helped lead the Ladycats to national prominence with a 354-45 overall record, highlighted by four state titles (1989, 1991, 1992 and 1993), six CIF Southern Section championships and 12 Orange League Crowns. In his final five campaigns, Brea Olinda posted an amazing 161-8 record and did not lose more than two games in any single season.
Trakh Fills Out Coaching Staff with Three Assistants
Assistant Coach Jamie Shadian
Shadian comes to the Mesilla Valley after two seasons as an assistant coach at Tennessee State University in Nashville. She joined the Tigers' coaching staff in 2009 and focused her efforts on mentoring guard play, specifically the point guard at the Division I level. The Tigers' 2011 senior point guard responded to the instruction last season to become the TSU assists record holder and place second in assists within the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC).
Assistant Coach Tamara Inoue
Inoue joins the Aggie coaching staff after three seasons as an assistant coach at Santa Clara University. She joined the Broncos' women's basketball program in 2008. Inoue's primary responsibilities at Santa Clara involved recruiting, film exchange, scouting and working with the Bronco guards. After six years of playing and coaching in Australia, Inoue joined the staff in Santa Clara. Inoue's playing days in Australia were cut short due to injury. After rehabilitation in the United States, she returned to coach in Australia's Victorian Basketball League (VBL).
Assistant Coach Aarika Hughes
Trakh is very familiar with Hughes after recruiting her to play for him at the University of Southern California. They spent three seasons together in Los Angeles from 2007-09. Hughes graduated in 2010 with a degree in psychology. Hughes spent much of the past year in her home state of Oregon coaching an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) squad named Team Concept, based in Portland. The 6-2 guard/forward finished her career with the fifth-best single-season 3-point field goal percentage of 40.9 when she drained 18-of-44 from beyond the arc in 2007-08 under Trakh.
Aggies Host 16 Games This Season
The Aggies' 16 home games at the Pan American Center is the fourth time in five seasons NM State plays host to more than 15 contests. Along with this year's ledger, here are the prior four season slates with 16-plus games in Las Cruces including a school-record 18 games in 2009-10.
2011-12: 16 (4-10 at home, 5-17 overall)
2010-11: 16 (7-9 at home, 14-18 overall)
2009-10: 18 (12-6 at home, 18-14 overall)
1979-80: 17 (10-7 at home, 22-12 overall)
2007-08: 16 (14-2 at home, 23-9 overall)Prior to the 2011-12 season, NM State played at least 15 regular season games at home in 12 of its 38 previous seasons. The Aggies averaged 20

Paul Weaver [57] ABSTRACT A method of fabricating a coat, jacket, or other item of apparel in which an outer shell is provided with a lining involves application of a connecting strip or strips to the outer shell, and separate prefabrication of the outer shell and the lining. The method comprises the steps of carrying out the various operations of construction of the shell of the coat on one production line, including the sewing of a fastening strip extending from the bottom edge of an armhole to the bottom edge of the shell on the inner face thereof, fabricating the lining on a separate and distinct production line, and then assembling the lining on the inner face of the shell by sewing its edges to edges of the shell and strip.
The wearing apparel hereof comprises an outer shell with an inner surface, having a connecting or fastening strip affixed to its inner surface in such manner that the connecting strip has a free edge. The free edge of the connecting strip is employed in the connection of a prefabricated lining to the shell.
2 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures PATE NIE 10201914 D W A l B M G W. W m0 E ,D D A P m S L ED HN A METHOD FOR FABRICATION OF LINED WEARING APPAREL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION extent thereof is widespread. The method of fabricating or constructing such garments which is now followed in the industry, is to make the coat, with the lining assembled therein, as a continuous operation. Thus, the shell of the garment must have the lining attached thereto at a particular stage in its manufacture, and subsequent operations are performed after the lining is so attached. All of the operations in this sequence of production are ordinarily carried out by the same operator.
This now prevalent method cannot be conducted with a high degree of efficiency so far as the time of the operator is concerned inasmuch as the sequence requires differentiation of operations. Moreover, maximized efficiency in fabrication is achieved by specialization of the skills of individual operators.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the applying of lining to the shell of a coat and is concerned primarily with a new and novel method in which the shell and lining are fabricated independently of one another, after which the lining is attached to the shell by sewing the same to a specially provided attachment strip. This includes stitching of an inner edge of the lining to the strip, the strip extending from the lower edge of an armhole of the garment or other predetermined location thereon, to the bottom edge of the shell. The strip, in such method, has been theretofore incorporated in the shell by a prior operation within the terms of this method.
With the foregoing conditions in mind, the present invention comprehends the following objectives: (1) to provide a method of constructing a partially lined coat which may be carried out with a high degree of efficiency in the time consumed in fabricating the coat by reducing the number of handling operations; (2) to provide a method of the type noted in which the shell and lining of the coat are fabricated separately, after which the lining is attached to the shell by a unique method and means; (3) to provide, in a method of the character aforesaid, the step of stitching a strip on the inner face of the shell as an operation in the production of the shell, and which strip extends from an armhole or other predetermined location, to another predetermined location of the shell; and (4) to provide, in a method of the kind described, the step of assembling the lining on the shell in which an edge of the lining is sewed to the strip.
. The invention may be further summarized as contem- "plating the attachment of a strip of material in blind stitch fashion to the inner surface of the outer shell of a garment as a step in the manufacture of said garment outer shell, whereby the strip is subsequently utilized as a means for incorporation in the garment of a separately fashioned lining for the shell.
The foregoing is achieved, in a particularized embodiment of the invention, by constructing the garment shell of a coat, with the sleeves omitted, on one production line, during the operations of which a pair of fabric strips are sewed to the inner face of the shell on lines extending from the lower edge of the arrnholes to the bottom edge of the shell. The lining comprises two sections which are fabricated on other and different production lines. Each of these sections of lining are then assembled in the shell by sewing what is to become the inner edges thereof, after assembly, to the strips, with the remaining edges being sewed to the peripheral edges of the oppositely disposed areas of the shell to be lined.
Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a consideration of the following specification when read in conjunction with the annexed drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF TI-IE'DRAWING FIG. I is a disassembled elevational view illustrating a portion of the interior of a coat shell, a fastening strip to be attached thereto, and a section of lining;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic depiction of the steps of the method of this invention; and I FIG. 3 is a view of the inside of a garment such as a coat with one piece of lining fully assembled therein, and another section partially completed.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawing in more detail, a portion of the outer shell of a coat is illustrated in FIG. 1 and designated generally by reference character l0. It is the inner face 100 of the shell 10 which appears in this figure. The shell 10 includes a central back panel 11a, a portion of which is shown at 11, and front panels 12 which are sewed at opposite sides to the back panel 11 along seams 13. The front panels 12 have bottom edges defined by hems l4, sides or outer edges 15, and top edges 16. The shell portion 10 is formed with arrnholes 17. This description of form and structure, insofar as it relates to the outer shell of the garment, is by way of designation of the environment of this invention, and is common to prior art coats as well.
Unique to coats and the like constructed within the teachings of this invention is a fabric fastening strip 18, shown in FIG. 1 in an isolated condition. The strips 18 are of a length, in this form of the invention, equal to the distance from the lower edge of one of the arrnholes 17 to the bottom edge 14 of the garment. The position to be assumed by the strips 18 when sewn to the shell 10 are indicated by broken lines 19 in FIG. 1. It will be observed that each of the strips 18 includes strip side edges 18a and 18b.
One of the sections of lining to be attached to the shell 10 is also shown in an isolated state in FIG. 1, and designated by reference numeral 20 therein. The lining section 20 has an inner edge 21, a bottom edge 22, an
shell 10, At a convenient stage in these operations, one of the strips 18 is sewed to the inner face of the front panel 12 along the areas represented by each pair of lines 19. The strip 18 is sewn intermediate the side edges 18a and 18b along a line of stitching 180 so that the areas between the central stitching line and the side edges 18a and 18b are free and access thereto may be had for additional sewing operations.
The block26 represents that separate and independent production of the lining sections 20 occurs. Such sections are of course, formed in opposite hand fashion for the two sides of the coat.
As inferred in the annexed illustration of the invention, after the shell and linings have been separately produced, as on production lines and 26, the lining sections being assembled with the shell by sewing each lining 20 to the inner face of each front portion of the shell 10. This is accomplished through stitching of the edge 21 to the fastening strip 18 along one free edge of the strip and on one side of the central line of stitching 18c which attaches the strip to the shell. With the linings thus attached to the strips, the attachment of the bottom edges 22 to the bottom edges 14, the outer edges 23 to the outer edges 15, the curved edges 24 to the corresponding portions of the armholes l7, and the respective top edges 24a together follows without necessity for particular skills in alignment or stitching procedures.
Subsequent conventional operations such as the adding of sleeves and a collar are then performed.
We claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a lined jacket or like article of apparel comprising the steps of constructing a jacket outer shell having arm holes, attaching to the interior of said shell during the construction thereof a pair of flexible material narrow strips which extend substantially from the bottoms of the shell arm holes to the lower edge of the shell by single lines of stitching which substantially bisect the strips longitudinally to thereby create longitudinal free edge portions on the strips on opposite sides of the lines of stitching, separately constructing a jacket lining for subsequent application to the interior of the shell including lining side sections, and then attaching the separately constructed lining to the shell by stitching interior edges of said lining side sections to corresponding free edge portions of seams in substantially parallel relation thereto.

The clock is ticking on the Penguins getting their roster set (has to be done by 3:00 p.m. Friday) and team held organizational meetings following Wednesday's Black and Gold scrimmage and more meetings between the coaching staff and upper management are planned to resume in the morning.
Everyone except Simon Despres, Beau Bennett and Jayson Megna are eligible for waivers, so the direction the Penguins intend to take on the roster will be finalized by late morning as the Penguins would have to put any waiver eligible players on waivers at 12:00 p.m. Thursday to get them to the minors before rosters are to be submitted Friday at 3:00 p.m.
Wednesday's scrimmage was the last evaluation tool for the staff.
My some what Roster Prediction: Penguins carry 13 forwards, sending Beau Bennett and Jayson Megna back to Wilkes Barre. I am certain of that.
On the blueline, I believe Simon Despres makes the team, leading to Brian Strait going on waivers or unlikely scenario of Robert Bortuzzo being moved in a trade, although I was told something interesting on Wednesday afternoon in that one scenario being discussed is sending Despres down to Wilkes Barre for seven to ten days and let things play out on the trade market for a week or so regarding Bortuzzo, Strait or maybe even Lovejoy as chatter on Wednesday is that some teams looking for defensive help intended to see who goes on waivers before pulling the trigger on any deals for a depth defenseman. Could be an interesting option explored by Shero but probably wouldn't make the coaching staff happy. However, I expect Despres to be on the roster Saturday afternoon.
More Buzz
It's been no secret that Dan Bylsma is giving the Simon Despres - Kris Letang pairing a look and is believed to be leaning towards opening the season Saturday with them together. "There's a fair number of games they've played together," Bylsma said of Letang and Despres. "I think there is some comfort there. Last year when they did play together, there was a little bit of a mentor to a younger guy as well."
As for Despres play in the scrimmage: "Simon had some good situations and speed of the game people coming at you a little bit differently showed in a lot of situations for D and forwards alike and we saw that from Simon as well {but} we also saw some good things {from Simon}." - That's a pretty accurate observation of Despres.
Beau Bennett is having a lot of people talking after flashing top-6 ability, showing great poise and vision in the scrimmage and showing signs like he has in the AHL, of seeing the game like an elite player. Bennett sure got the Penguins thinking but the sense of the situation is the Penguins intend to send him down with the hopes that he gains a ton from this experience and plays some dominating hockey over the next couples months, putting himself in position for a full time callup in lets say March or early April, which would pretty much make him a trade deadline acquisition without giving anything up.
While Bennett did a lot of things well in the Black and Gold Scrimmage, did Bylsma come out of this scrimmage with concerns about Bennett being ready now?

This course is a gateway to learning software version control (SVC), process management, and collaboration techniques. Author Michael Lehman reviews the history of version control and demonstrates the fundamental concepts: check-in/checkout, forking, merging, commits, and distribution. The choice of an SVC system is critical to effectively managing and versioning the assets in a software development project (from source code, images, and compiled binaries to installation packages), so the course also surveys the solutions available. Michael examines Git, Perforce, Subversion, Mercurial, and Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) in particular, describing the appropriate use, features, benefits, and optimal group size for each one.
The last major piece of functionality we're going to do with Perforce is branching and merging. You branch by right-clicking on your folder, in this case, and selecting Branch. Now Perforce does branching in the depot, not with the physical folders, but within folders within the depot. So what we're going to do is decide where we want to put our branch folder. And because it's not a physical folder, it's not a good idea to put your branch inside the folder with your main branch.
You want to put it within the depot perhaps as a peer of your main branch. So here's our source, depot/p1, and our target isn't going to be depot/p1, say b1 here. We're actually we're going to put it up here. We're going to say -branch1/, and after we do the branch we said automatically submit after branching the files. We're going to go take a look at the depot, and when we refresh it we see that we now have two different sets of folders in our depot.
And these files are different, we haven't created two separate folders in our workspace, but we just have two separate folders in our depot. So if we want to edit the file in the branch, we can go here Check Out and Open, and now we'll add a new feature, feature1, No more available space, Look to the cloud, Your hard drive is full, and we'll Save and Exit Visual Studio.
Again, you can see the files in the repository. The file has the check box, meaning we've checked it out into the default changelist, and now we're going to go ahead and submit that. Now we're going to say Added feature 1, and now it's all set up, and we're back in that particular branch's changelist. If you continue to work in a branch for an extended period of time ,you want to do a forward integration from the mainline to your branch from time to time. Remember, a forward integration means copying changes from the main into your private branch so that your branch doesn't get too far out of date for those portions of your code which you are not working on in the branch.
That means if you're working on a team and other people, they are making changes, you may want to take their changes as you're continuing to work on your features to make sure that both your features don't conflict with theirs and your features may depend upon working with their features before you can check back in. In our case, we're just going to do a reverse integration and merge the changes from our branch back into the trunk. The way we do that is we right-click on the branch folder, and we select Merge/Integrate. Now the Source of our merge is our branch.
The target of our merge is going to be back to p1. Now we're going to go ahead and open up the Options here in order to click this, Automatically resolve files after merging. That way it's a very simple merge process. If you want it to do the merge and then have to run the Merge tool to make that you have checked exactly what's being merged, you can do that by not checking that box. But in this case, we're going to click Merge, and you'll see now that says this file has been merged, and it's been marked for integrate but the change has not yet been saved back to the repository.
So we'll open up our changelist Pending window, and you see now we have Merging depot branch back to p1. And we'll right-click on that and say Submit. It gives us an automatic message here. We could create a more sophisticated one, but we'll submit that. And if we now come back here and say Open f1, you can see we have both our main and our feature. So the Merge has been successful, we've taken things from the branch1 and inserted them back into the main trunk, and so now everything is back together again.
And that's Branching and Merging in Perforce. We're going to take one quick peek at one more thing before we leave this chapter, and that is just note that installing the Perforce GUI also does give you a show integration menu that allows you to do additional things. Once you become much more experienced in working with Perforce, this can save you some time in the future. And that's it for version control with Perforce.

Complete Media Book: MPSF Semifinals - #2 Cal State Bakersfield 2, #3 New Mexico 0
Sacramento, Calif. --- Cal State Bakersfield scored just 9:36 into the contest, one of two goals by Gyasi Zardes as the Roadrunners defeated third-seeded New Mexico 2-0 in the semifinals of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament and all but ending the Lobos season short of the NCAA College Cup.
New Mexico, who defeated UNLV in overtime on Thursday, outshot Bakersfield 8-7 on the day, but that was of little consequence. Zardes netted his first goal 9:36 into the opening half when he got lose in front of the net and banged in a shot to the far post past a helpless Justin Holmes for a 1-0 lead. That lead would hold until 7:59 into the second half when Zardes would strike again.
Richard Menjivar played a ball to Zardes on the right, and he again went back post, making it 2-0, and New Mexico never could answer. The Lobos only mustered one shot on net, forcing Roadrunner keeper Eric Shannon to make one save. Holmes also had one save as well.
New Mexico most likely needed to win the tournament to advance to the NCAA Tournament due to an RPI in the 50s. The team will await the official word on Monday, but the most likely scenario is the Lobos came very close but will not make the tournament.
NOTES: Josh Caffey won the team goal scoring title with four, and he and Michael Reed each had nine points ... the loss ended an eight match unbeaten streak ... UNM scored four goals and allowed four goals in their final six games ... it marked only the second loss in MPSF tournament play as the Lobos are now 8-2-1.

Heavyweight Justin Jones, 14-0 (9 KOs), won a six-round shutout over Stacy Frazier, 14-9 (13 KOs), at the latest Savarese Boxing Promotions card at the Houston Club. While Frazier was the nephew of the legendary Joe Frazier, it was Jones who utilized Smokin Joe's sweeping left hook - albeit a sloppier, less explosive version - as his primary weapon all night. Ironically, it was a straight right to the chin that dropped Frazier for the only knockdown of the fight in the fifth round. Jones had returned five days ago from Austria where he was serving as sparring partner to Vladimir Klitschko.

The feel of this is much softer and more pliable than Sugar or Peaches n Cream. I used to dislike it because cotton can be difficult to work with in humid conditions, but as I've now made washcloths with this yarn in other colors, I've ditched our sponges and have gone hog wild with crocheting cloths for the kitchen, bathroom and general dusting.
It also works nicely into rounds for the face as well as washcloths for the body. Add a strip of tulle and even scrubby sponges can be tossed. I used this particular color for face and body rounds and washcloths. The color did fade a bit after five uses but they still go great with our kiddo's frog-themed bathroom.
The skeins Are dye lotted so be sure to check the lot number and purchase what you need at the time. I was able to squeeze about 3-4 5" x 5" dishcloths single crochet with bobbles every other stitch and two rounds of edging out of one skein, meaning a set could be made for $2.66 (sale price). The skeins are also twice the size of Sugar / Peaches n Cream, making them a better financial buy.
Cons: Can only be purchased at Hobby Lobby.

I purchased two different cottons while I was on vacation, this one and one from Hancock Fabrics. Theirs was on clearance and after working with it I could see why. "I Love This Cotton Yarn" has vibrant ombres and I love how it felt in my hands. Cotton does tire your hands more (I have severe arthrits), but this cotton is so soft against your hands. I would work with it again to make hats for cancer patients, but not a "big" project.
