OK, i really need an fixed stock M70 back end, so if you just have one for sale, and don't want to trade, please let me know.
If you are interested in a trade, I have a brand new, never been on a rifle and fired, Tabuk shoulder stock from Iron Wood Designs. It comes with the required mount bolt and it has an SKS buttpad installed. That was $120.00 my cost total.
Looking to trade for a stamped M70 fixed stock complete back end: Trigger guard, trunnion, stock, bolt, and buttpad.
Thanks for looking.
Rifle NOT included. LOL.

This disclosure is based upon, and claims priority from, French Application No. 97/14802, filed Nov. 25, 1997 and International Application No. PCT/FR98/02510, filed Nov. 24, 1998, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The aim of this invention is a process to manage data stored in a chip card. The invention concerns the transfer of data from one card to another, particularly in the case where the original card is on the point of expiry and has to be replaced by a card with extended duration and also having similar system options, the same data recorded in the electronic circuit.
Thus for example electronic purses are already known in the field of chip cards, or more generally portable equipment with a computer chip. In such uses monetary units stored in the memory of a chip card are transferred to another and withdrawn from the first. There is on the face of it no limit to validity. Also in the banking sector chip cards, the card body of which is clearly embossed with the expiry date of the card, are known. This precaution of limiting the validity of the card has two objectives. On the one hand it allows the age of the electronic circuits to be taken into account and to facilitate its replacement. On the other hand it gives rise to the return of the cards in circulation to the supervisory body in such a way that this body can totally control the means which it makes available to carry out transactions.
With the exponential development of applications controlled by uses of the chip card, expired chip cards may no longer need to be replaced by a supervisory body: it ought to be possible to do this on site, if necessary with common chip card readers/recorders.
The principles of using chip cards include the requirement to compose a secret code or personal identity number (PIN) and comparison of this code with a code stored in the memory of the chip. If this comparison is successful, the application i.e. in practical terms goods or services corresponding to the transaction can be obtained, or even a payment can be effected with the card. If not the case a reject situation is indicated to the carrier. This comparison is implemented in a fail-safe manner.
The problem which occurs when the requirement is to transfer data from one card to another is a problem of managing these secret codes or, more generally, management codes which allow management under the control of data stored in the memory of the cards. In fact these codes stored in one form or another in the memory of the chip card are produced by the supervisory body according to data capable of identifying the card and particular to this body. As a result it is impossible to arrange the automatic extension of the validity of the cards by replacing expired cards with cards with longer memory without the intervention of this body. Indeed such an operation would amount to disclosing all the secrets concerning the formulation of the secret codes and particular to this body to all the other organizations or even all the readers capable of arranging this extension.
However the aim of the invention is to remedy this future problem by instituting a recording procedure for the management codes. The procedure takes into account the previous management codes or at least data relating to the old cards from which the data are to be recorded into the new originates.
According to the invention a cryptographic algorithm is used to produce a new management code which on the one hand takes into account identification data of the new card and on the other hand information relating to the old card. In a particular case the data relating to the old card will be the identification data of the old card. In another case the management code of the old card itself will be used. Any other data relating to the old card can be used.
At the moment of use the user can be asked to compose a secret code which corresponds to the management code of the second card. In certain cases of special verification he can also be asked to compose, in a second stage or first stage, a secret code corresponding to the management code of the first card in order to check the coherence of the formulation of the second management code.
Therefore the aim of the invention is a process to manage data stored in a first memory of a first chip of a first chip card in which:
This first management code is recorded in the first memory,
The invention will be better understood after reading the description below and after examining the figures which accompany it. The latter are only given as a guide and in no way limit the invention. The figures are detailed as follows:
The invention concerns more particularly the transfer of data contained in an expired chip card 9 (its expiry date being for example 1996, already out-of-date) and a new chip card 2 with a much later expiry date (2007). Card 9 as well as card 2 each contain a computer chip, such as that referenced 10, and means of linking up with reader 1. In an example these means of linking up with the reader are quite simply a connector 11. Other solutions of linking up are known. In
The principle of formulating a management code consists of using a mother key 100. A mother key is thus a chain of binary characters: in an example a mother key has a length of 1024 bits. The serial number of the card or the chip can also be presented in binary form. The two chains of corresponding binary characters are then presented to a cryptographic algorithm represented symbolically by reference 13. Cryptographic algorithm 13 results in the production of a first management code. In an example cryptographic algorithm 13 is implemented by the master system, available at an issuer of the card, before this issuer decides to send the chip card to its user. In the course of a procedure known as personalisation, the issuer reads the serial number of the card with a special chip card reader and produces a first management code 14 with an algorithm 13 and a mother key 100 known by the issuer alone. The master system records the first management code 14 in the memory of the chip of the card. In a known way this can be recorded in a place of the chip of card 9. This place can also depend for its position on the application, first application 27, controllable with the card. Preferably the management codes are therefore secret and stored in places which cannot be violated.
When an operator, a user, inserts his chip card into reader 1, the latter produces a random chain of bits 15. This random chain of bits 15 is sent especially by means of connector 11 to chip card 9. The latter then starts to encrypt the random chain of bits 15 by the management code 14 and produces a management code 16 encrypted by the random chain of bits. At the same time the operator composes a secret code on keypad 5. This secret code is sent to reader 1. Reader 1, in the same way as card 9, produces the encryption 17 of the secret code by the value of the random chain of bits 15 which this reader knows. A comparison circuit 18 of the reader unless the latter is a comparison circuit 19 of the card, compares the management code 16 encrypted by the random chain of bits with secret code 17 encrypted by the random chain of bits. If this is identical the result of the comparison circuit 18 or 19 will be positive and the progress of the transaction planned with card 9 can continue.
Notably this progress of transactions will include editing the data stored in the first memory of the first card 9 if the secret code presented to the reader is compatible with the first management code 14 recorded.
In fact the reader will on the one hand often produce a ticket 20 representing the transaction or on the other hand in a non-obvious way make a record in its memory to represent this transaction. This record is itself intended to be transmitted to the master system in delayed mode or in real time.
Ticket 20 as well as the record will include details of the transaction, notably at least a way of identifying chip card 2, for example serial number 12 envisaged up till now, or an account number or any other information recorded in card 9. The sole fact that this information appears on ticket 20 or on the record of reader 1 signifies that it has also been edited. In practical terms an attempt is made in fact with the comparison to prevent or allow such editing and therefore the continuation of the transaction.
In the invention it has been considered that a card 9 was concerned and transferring the contents of chip 10 of this card 9 into a chip of a new card 2 was wanted. According to the invention a second management code 22 is produced with an algorithm 21, based on data relating to card 9 and a set of identification data of the second card 2.
In a particular example the information relating to the first card is rightly the serial number 12 and the information relating to the second card 9 is equally a serial number 23 of this second card. However the first management code 14 or any other information could be used as data relating to the first card.
In the invention algorithm 21 is implemented by a common-type reader 1 but equipped with software for the purpose, during a session to produce code 22, of reading useful data in card 9, requesting extraction of card 9 and putting into place card 2 as a replacement, reading useful identification data in card 2, calculating code 22 and recording it in card 2. To simplify such production of management codes, the software for implementing the algorithm can, at least partly, be stored in card 9 (or in card 2). It can even be implemented by the micro-processor of the card for greater security.
To simplify the explanation it was considered that algorithm 21 needed to receive three chains of characters. Algorithm 13 preferably will receive the first serial number 12, a second time the first serial number 12 as well as mother key 100. In an example algorithm 21 is the same as algorithm 13. For algorithm 21 the three items of useful data can be serial number 23, serial number 12 and mother key 100. This key 100 can even be replaced by code 14. Therefore according to the invention a second management code 22 is produced with the second cryptographic algorithm 21. The second management code 22 produced in this way is then recorded in the second card 2 at the same time as the data relating to the first card (12 or 14) which has served to formulate this second management code. In the example serial number 12 of the first card 9 is also recorded in the second card 2.
A first application 27 has been illustrated for card 9. This application is an initial way to use card 9. This card 9 according to the invention can preferably be a multi-application card. In this case management code 14 is a management code intended for one application. For other applications 28 or 29 the same items will be found. Nevertheless while the same serial number 12 (common to the whole card or whole chip) can be used, the other management codes will benefit from being different. This can easily be achieved by using algorithms 13 programmed by different mother keys 100, depending on the applications concerned. Mother key 100 can also be stored in card 9 in the place of the memory zone reserved for applications 27, 28 or 29. Algorithm 13 is then programmed by a key 100 which depends on the application.
As soon as it is confirmed that the carrier of card 2 is a good carrier, reader 1 and chip card 2 exchange information as shown in
It is possible according to the invention to check that the second card 2 is a legitimate successor for the contents of the first card 9. This check can be made on request by having reader 1, or alternatively chip card 2, execute corresponding encryption operations, on the one hand, by algorithm 13 and on the other hand by algorithms 16 and 17. The operator must therefore compose a secret code corresponding to code 22. In other words, based on the first serial number 14 available in the second card 2, it is possible—conforming to the information given for the top of FIG. 2—to again find the first management code 14. Then, provided with this management code 14, card 2 can implement algorithm 16 from the random chain of bits. In this case the carrier can be asked to compose not the new secret code but the old secret code. In an example the request to carry out this more complex check could be requested at random, for example on average once every hundred times. Clearly if the check fails the same consequences on the continuation of the transaction will occur.
Algorithm 21 will preferably be different from algorithm 13, although it could be the same. If it is different algorithm 21 will preferably be an algorithm known as symmetric. A symmetric algorithm 31 is shown on
According to the invention in addition to the data stored in the memory of card 9, a transmission attribute is associated. And editing of these data is authorized notably to allow them to be copied into the second memory, depending on the value of this attribute. If this is the case these data are copied into the second chip card 2 at the same time as this attribute. In practice this attribute gives information about a need to produce a second management code or not when the data are copied. In certain cases the mechanism implemented by algorithms 13 and 21 will be required; in other cases it will not be executed.
In another case the transmission attribute gives information about the need to control data copying by the master system. In this case when the data to be copied is edited, the attribute concerning these is read. If intervention by the master system is required, a connection to master system 6 is made. This data copying can then take place in real or delayed time with or without the data being transmitted to the master system.

Nice to see Lautenberg is good for something. Christie gave up trying to fix this in his deal with Norcross I really don't believe anything will come of this though. We can hope i guess.
This is a solid team. They'd be 10 games over with a decent bullpen. I know there's not much out there but Sandy owes it to the team to try and get some help.
The Asbury Park press has a less bias article on the tunnel if anyone cares to read it
Hard to believe that this system is sustainable with pensions this large. I guess we'll see 20 yrs from now.
Keep up the good work Alex, ignore all the very bitter SL forum posters.
People are slobs, plain & simple. NJ has become a giant garbage dump. Not sure what kind of people think its OK to just throw garbage out the window. How where these people raised? This man sounds like a good one. I hope this story has a positive effect on a few folks.
Here's some more info from the APP:
Brown and others demanded an apology from Christie. Shouldn't apologies be offered to be sincere? My Fox New York news ran an interview later in which Brown apologized to Christie. "I apologize if I came across disrespectful to the governor."
Conversely, Brown didn't mention he ran for the Assembly on Jon Corzine's ticket or for the Mount Laurel council.
I think you have the sports mixed up, this is about basketball not hockey. Have you scene the rating? You couldn't be more wrong. It's a great story.
He pointed a gun at his girlfriend, that's a BIG mistake. He should be relieved of his job for that mistake, period.
I find it funny that the Knicks won on Tues & the Ledger had nothing about it yet they headline every loss. Whoever is making those decisions must be a Nets fan. Hope they like driving to Brooklyn. Yes the Knicks are a bad team right now but hopefully they'll find some heart & brains before the season ends.
Don't worry folks, absolutely nothing will come of this. The ethics (ha, ha) committee will do nothing, just like they always do.
This team would be 20 plus games under 500 without Collins.
The courts can change their mind on anything. It's not like they follow the state constitution all the time, especially the Supreme Court. If it came to having to liquidate state property they would probably kick it down the road.
I'll add there is a push to allow states to claim bankruptcy, which could gain some steam if is economy doesn't improve.
These people are so short sighted. Look what happened in RI this week. The retirees there will be lucky to get 50% of their promised pension payments. The system is broken, if needed to be fixed, period. This state & county are doomed.
& why did they cut this guy a break yesterday? I hope it was a parole violation & he does a little jail time. Maybe that'll learn em.
Lets not forget the US Senate switcharoo with Torricelli & Lautenburg.
Rationalizing its power grab, the state Court invoked "the public interest," "the general intent of the election laws," and "the two-party system" - terms that appear nowhere in the relevant statute. In short, by assuming legislative functions, the New Jersey court has made a mockery of the doctrine of separation of powers - a centerpiece of federal and state constitutions and a bulwark against governments that might otherwise abuse their citizens.
"Albin said the state had $1 billion in revenue from a surcharge on the wealthiest residents but allowed the additional tax to lapse."
This pretty much tells you how this is going to go. This court makes the laws, which is not their job. But they've been doing it for 30 yrs and it's not going to change until CC gets some new bodies in there.
Got to love this!

Andrew M. Cuomo - Governor
Governor Cuomo to Propose School Superintendent Salary Cap
Albany, NY (February 28, 2011)
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that he will submit a program bill to cap the salaries of school superintendents across the state. The cap would be based upon student enrollment and if approved would save a combined $15 million.
"We must wake up to the new economic reality that government must be more efficient and cut the cost of the bureaucracy. We must streamline government because raising taxes is not an option. Reducing back-office overhead, administration, consultants, and encouraging consolidations are the best targets to find savings," Governor Cuomo said.
The cap would impose salary limits as follows:
School District Enrollment
Superintendent Salary Cap
0 - 250
The cap will apply only to school superintendents and will be applied prospectively as contracts expire. Local communities will have the ability to vote on overriding the salary cap, limited only to specific contracts. These votes will be held during normal school budget votes.
Currently, 223, or 33 percent of school district superintendents earn more than $175,000.
There is already a salary cap in place for BOCES district superintendents. The BOCES cap sets a single flat salary level ($166,572). Unlike the New Jersey law, the salary is flat regardless of the number of students enrolled in the school. Moreover, New Jersey aligns the salary of the superintendents of the largest school districts with the salary of the Governor of the State of New Jersey, unlike the New York law that ties the value to the 2003-04 salary of the Commissioner of Education.
Here is the full quote which the SL editorial staff seems to have short short:
"Are you surprised to hear that from Bruce?" the governor asked the host. "I mean, you know, Bruce is liberal. Doesn't mean I like him any less. But you know, Bruce believes that we should be raising taxes all the time on everyone to do all the things that he'd like to see government do. That's fine, it's his point of view and he's absolutely welcome to it, AND I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR IT, because he speaks out. And unlike other people who don't, he speaks out. That's great for him," Christie continued.
Really that's a cheap shot? I'm sure Bruce would agree & be proud of what CC said. Shame on the SL for even posting this crap.
Bruce sounds like a typical rich celebrity. He uses all the loopholes available to pay less taxes but thinks everyone (except the poor) to pay more.

WASHINGTON—Before recessing this week, the Senate, by voice vote, confirmed U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey to serve as the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff—the nation's highest military post.
Dempsey currently serves as the Chief of Staff of the Army, the highest-ranking officer in the U.S. Army. He will be replacing Adm. Michael Mullen—who has served as chairman since September 2007—and will assume the post after Mullen retires in September.
Dempsey is a veteran of the first Persian Gulf War, also known as Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He also commanded the 1st Armored Division during Operation Iraqi Freedom after the initial invasion, spending 14 months in Iraq from 2003 to 2004.
Also confirmed to new military positions within the Joint Chiefs of Staff were Adm. James Winnefeld, who will become the next vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Adm. Jonathan Greenert, who is slated to be the next chief of Naval Operations, the highest-ranking Navy officer; and Gen. Raymond Odierno, who will become the new Army chief of staff.
Gen. Odierno is well-known for commanding coalition forces in Iraq from 2006 through 2010. As a subordinate of Gen. David Petraeus, he was one of the primary architects of the Iraq "surge" strategy that is usually credited with turning the war in that country around.The Joint Chiefs of Staff consist of the highest-ranking military members within the Department of Defense. While they do not possess any command authority, their role is to serve as military advisers to the president and the Defense Department civilian leadership in military, defense, and national security matters.
The newly appointed officers, along with new Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, will lead a Pentagon that faces many challenges in the coming years, the most significant of which include handling the ongoing foreign wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the face of potentially steep cuts to the defense budget.

The 20-year-old has started the last two games amid an injury and suspension crisis, which left the manager looking at loan signings and marked his first home start in the Sky Bet Championship with the equaliser in Tuesday night's 1-1 draw with Huddersfield.
Mowbray told the club's official website: "I'm delighted for Ben. He's a fantastic personality and is a really driven guy from this part of the world.
"A lot of people are asking me about loans and who we are going to bring in. He's been out on loan several times because he's so desperate to play.
"Why would I want to get a 20-year-old from the Premier League on loan when I've got Ben Gibson here bursting out of his shirt to play for the Boro? I want to give him an opportunity.
"It's sometimes too easy to go out and pluck a Johnny Average from some team who hasn't played for months when you've got a player like Ben Gibson in your ranks bursting out of his shirt and knocking on my door every second day to say give me a chance."

Facebook faces a simple choice: become more like a market, or more like a government.
"Starting today, you can add that you're an organ donor to your timeline, and share your story about when, where or why you decided to become a donor," wrote Zuckerberg and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg in an ABC posting this morning. "If you're not already registered with your state or national registry and want to be, you'll find a link to the official donor registry there as well."
Which choice does Zuckerberg seem more ready to make?
Of course, Facebook can't opt to facilitate organ sales instead of organ donation until a market in organs is legalized. The arguments for putting organs on the market are familiar ones, but one key claim helps us understand what's ahead for Facebook: "there's incredible demand for kidneys but there just aren't enough donors." So raise the number of donors — meaning the number of donors connected up with official registries. That's more like a governance function than a market function.
And it's in keeping with what seems to impress Zuckerberg the most, if his remarks for ABC are any indication. "Zuckerberg," the Atlantic Wire quips, "loftily explains to ABC's Robin Roberts that Facebook did amazing things like connecting the people of Joplin, and reconnecting those affected by the Japanese tsunami[.]" These are functions that have much more to do with the public provision of health and safety than they do with the public exchange of private goods and services.
Right about now, our collective have-it-all reflex will insist that Zuckerberg and Facebook shouldn't be discouraged from doing anything because they're capable of doing everything. But there are tradeoffs. Choosing to go down the donor road is a choice not to push for going down the market road. Perhaps there's something tacky about the beneficiaries of such concentrated wealth shying away from public charity. Regardless, Facebook could soon create the impression that its idea of the status quo is " free markets for me but not for thee." Facebook already secretly aids government searches. To the extent that Facebook becomes an information monopoly — in reality or in the public imagination — the temptation is to view Facebook not as a vehicle for public charity but as a public utility in the making. On that view, our approach to the things contained in Facebook — now, like organs — will move away from both the charitable model and the free market model, toward the utility model. Facebook will become the most powerfully comprehensive tool around for organizing governed exchanges.
It's a natural development from the perspective of "big data" — "the fast-growing market for information technology systems that can sift through massive amounts of data to help companies make better decisions. Just as information on millions of Facebook users is prized by advertisers, the details companies amass from their operations can be used to cut costs and boost profits." Big data can also breathe new life into once-discredited ideas about government competence and efficiency. We'll soon be explicitly invited to imagine how much more America could do if the government were more like Facebook; we'll soon realize the biggest step toward that future involves making Facebook more like the government.

The "top two primary" system now used in Washington and to be used in California starting in 2012 is not like a traditional primary, where people vote to select a nominee for each party. It is more like a two-round general election similar to the French Presidential election system. The first round, the "primary," all candidates from all parties compete, and the top two vote-getters go on to face each other in a runoff election. Since the top two primary system is much more like a general election than a traditional primary, the question is can the vote in these "top two primary" states serve as a good predictor for what will happen nationwide in November.
Sean Trende at Real Clear Politics came to the conclusion that Washington State could be:
[T]hese primary elections end up looking an awful lot like the November elections. I gathered the results for congressional and senate primaries in recent years where Washington used the blanket primary system (1992-2002 and 2008). This gave me a nice dataset of 65 elections. I looked at the total Democratic vote cast in the primaries, and compared it to the total Democratic vote in the general election.
On average, the Democratic candidate improved his or her share of the vote by only 1.5 points from the fall election. And there aren't too many outliers. In 47 percent of the elections, the Democratic share of the vote in November was within two points of the Democratic share of the vote in the primary (for those who speak "geek," the standard deviation is a reasonably narrow 4.2).
It is important to note 2008 was only the first time Washington State started using the top two system. Before that, it used a blanket primary system, and, while there are many similarities there are some important differences. A blanket primary allows a person to vote in the Republican primary for some races and the Democratic primary for other races during the same primary election. Trende's analysis is based on mainly data from years using the blanket primary.
Greg Giroux (via SwingStateProject) put together a spreadsheet of the 2008 Congressional races using the top two system and it showed there was very little different between the total Democratic vote in the primary compared to the general. The chart is great, but the sample size of only nine races is small
This inspired me to look at all executive, Congressional, and state legislator elections in Washington from 2008 to today. This gave me a sample size of just over 100 races to compare the results of an actual top two primary to the general election in Washington. What I found was a very high correlation between the percentage of the vote a party got in the primary and the percentage of the vote they received in the general election.
On average a party's overall percentage of the vote only varied by +/- 2.08 percentage points from the primary to the General.
I found, not surprisingly, that the fewer the number of candidates there were in the primary, the closer the primary results mirror the general.
In races where there were two candidates in the primary, you see a candidate's total increase or decrease on average by only 1.71 percentage points from the primary to the general.
In races with three candidates in the primary, you see a party's total percentage only increase or decrease on average by 2.71 percentage points.
For races with four or more candidates in the primary, it was +/- 3.16 percentage points.
On a whole general election benefited the Democratic Party. On average Democrats total percentage in the general was 1.1 points higher than their total in the primary, while the Republican total was 1.18 percentage points lower in the general. I don't know if this will be a lasting trend; is it that general election voters tend to lean more Democratic, or was this just a result of huge enthusiasm in 2008 among Democrats coming to the polls to vote for Obama. Trende's analysis and primary turnout demographic statistics would indicate it is likely to be a recurring pattern.
Interestedly the presence of a third party or independent candidates (if you calculate the primary vote totals with their votes removed) didn't increase the volatility of the general election. In fact, I found that in primaries with three or more candidates who identified as only Democratic or Republican, there was a greater variation between the primary result and the general result than in primaries with three or more candidates where at least one was a third-party candidate or independent. I suspect this finding could just be result of a small sample size or likely the result of many independent candidates taking only a very tiny percentage in the first round, making those races more like the two-candidate primaries.
While the sample size is too small, I also noticed in a few districts that if I re-assigned left- or right-leaning independents or third parties votes, like, say, the Green Party's total to the Democrats, the primary results even more closely matched the general.
My research indicates that Washington's 2008 top two primary was an extremely good predictor for the general election and it will likely be a very good predictor going forward. It will be interesting to see if California follows suit when it adopts the top two primary system in 2012. The results from Washington State might not translate to California. Washington, unlike California, has a tradition of very high primary turnout among all groups, including independents, dating back to its use of the blanket primary. If the pattern does hold up in Washington and California, I could picture both state's primaries soon becoming the bellwether all pundits watch for clues about the November election. Combined, the two states contain over 14 percent of all the Congressional districts.
[Note: I excluded any race where a candidate ran unopposed or a candidate got on the general election ballot by getting sufficient write-in votes in the primary. I also excluded a few races in heavily Democratic districts where two Democrats got more votes than any of the Republicans running so the total general election vote for Democrats was 100%. In races with independent/third-party candidates, I recalculated their percentages won totally excluding their vote. All Candidates who chose a preferred party label of GOP, G.O.P., Grand Old Party, R, etc. . . were classified as Republicans]

Five Calallen volleyball players to play in college
Two Wildcats sign with junior colleges, one with a Division II school and three more headed to Division III schools
CORPUS CHRISTI - Calallen's volleyball team had a big season. The Wildcats went 35-12, won the district championship and earned a trip to the region semifinals where they lost to eventual state champion Lake Travis.
Now, five of the team's nine seniors are moving on to play at the college level.
Whitney Cornett (Lee College) and Kiersten Dowty (Paris Junior College) earned junior college scholarships, Maddie Matula (Texas A&M-International) signed with a Division II school, and K.K. Guthrie (McMurry) and Katie Baker (East Texas Baptist) will play at Division III schools.
Cornett says she plans to study nursing at the Baytown school and is unsure if she'll continue playing volleyball after her junior college stint is done.
"Nursing school is demanding, so we'll see how it goes," the middle blocker said. "I reallyed liked Lee. It's close to Houston, which is my favorite city. I had also considered Cameron University, but Lee was the best fit for me."
Dowty was the District 31-4A MVP and an all-state selection as a libero.
"When I went to visit Paris, a lot of the players were there and they were really nice and encouraging and telling me I should come play with them," Dowty said. "It just felt comfortable. Even though I didn't know anybody there, it still felt like a home away from home."
By signing with A&M-International in Laredo, Matula will get a chance to play with her sister Jackie Matula, who will be a senior next season.
"I played with her my freshman year in high school, and now I get a chance to do it again," the Calallen setter said. "She really likes it there, and says the team is really bonding together, so I think it will be a good spot for me."
Guthrie also will get a chance to player with her sister Demi Holladay at McMurry in Abilene.
"It's going to be fun playing with my sister again," the setter said. "She really likes it up there, and I liked everything about it when I've been up there to visit."
Baker played outside hitter and defensive specialist for the Wildcats and said she was impressed by her visit to East Texas Baptist, which is located in Marshall.
"Everyone was just so nice," Baker said. "It's a very small school, but the coach and the team seemed really awesome, so I'm excited.

Open hearts: Informal group hands out food, hugs to homeless in Downtown Memphis
Lila Bear, 18, has been wanting to do something for the homeless for a long time.
On Sunday, she was at Confederate Park with Open Hand, an informal fledgling group that is doing what it can to feed the homeless.
Bear and others handed out tuna and ham sandwiches to anyone who was hungry as part of a Tikkun Olam, which translates from Hebrew to repairing the world.
Rabbi Aaron Rubinstein and his wife, Sharona, and friends began the new monthly event informally, reaching out to whomever is in need.
A few weeks ago people from two dance companies -- Performance Art Network and Bridging Souls Productions -- and Beth Shalom Synagogue were eating together in the park in honor of the feast of Purim. And they shared sandwiches, fruit, chips and drinks with about 30 homeless or hungry who happened by.
Thus the idea for Open Hand was born.
"We wanted to raise awareness ... and one thing led to another," said Rubinstein.
It's not an official event, he said, just "people bringing food, informally, people coming together around an idea."
"A rabbi and ham sandwiches usually don't go together," Rubinstein joked, "but I'm happy to hand them out."
Tuesday is Passover, a feast associated with charity, Rubinstein said.
"Any time someone is willing to give, you have to appreciate that," said Larry Nelson, 50, an out-of-work homeless man who received a banana and a bottled water.
"It does help," said James Baker, 53. "If I could help someone else, I would," he said.
Baker says he and his wife have spent three winters homeless in Memphis. He said he is working now and trying to find a place to stay.
Volunteers said that besides the food, the indigent need toiletries -- toothbrushes, and other hygiene products -- T-shirts and socks. Donations are welcome.
The Open Hand picnic will be held the third Sunday of every month from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
"It's a nice experience for everyone," said Bear. "You're hugging people you don't even know."

Five years ago, the Pittsburgh generics giant cobbled together an empire through its acquisitions of Dey Pharma, Matrix Laboratories and the Merck KGaA generics business, going from being the No. 3 player in US generics to No. 3 worldwide. Now Mylan is looking to expand in markets where generics are underutilized, including much of Europe, the Middle East and Asia (half the company's revenues come from generics-happy North America), while increasing the number of products it markets from 4,700 to 6,700 by 2015 and pushing into generic biologics. The firm faces some generic erosion of its own, though, as Sanofi and Intelliject will launch a competitor to its lucrative EpiPen Auto-Injector franchise in November.

Style: Muay Thai/MMA--
elbow/knee pads...from military surplus?
So I was just randomly browsing through this military surplus website, and I found that they had elbow and knee pads that seemed like they could be used for striking in muay thai; my instructor had been talking about getting some elbow pads so that we could work on elbows during sparring without cutting each other up, and when I came across these and saw that it was made of shock absorbing foam and neoprene, I thought "hey, this would be perfect". Then when I saw on the description of the knee pads that it had "excellent grip on wet surfaces" and that they were "were created for use in SWAT, corrections, and tactical applications" I hesitated.
These are the elbow pads I'm talking about
Knee pads
Other knee pads; they seem thicker, but are cheaper...
I thought I should post this on here and see what your thoughts are. I'll also ask my instructors about them and maybe even call the store.
Also, if these are deemed applicable to be used for training, which of the knee pads should I get?
1% Shark is better than you.

"With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I could have done more."
– Joe Paterno
Who would have thought it would end this way for the legendary Penn State coach of 46 years? Paterno, the man of high moral values, the guy who once vowed not to retire and "leave college football to the Barry Switzers and Jackie Sherrills" of his coaching fraternity, had failed the biggest morality test of his life.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – You know that Mount St. Charles-Coventry final that would have been billed as a matchup pitting one unbeaten squad versus another? Apparently Ponaganset didn't get the memo.
EAST GREENWICH — There are strength in numbers for sure on the soccer pitch, to which East Greenwich High will attest.
The Avengers consistently flooded the penalty box area with defenders, forming a protective cocoon that allowed goalie Oscar Goodwin to thrive while simultaneously left Tolman High's array of skill players singing the blues.
CRANSTON — Shea High shook free from a determined Cumberland team on Monday night at Cranston Stadium and advanced to the Division I state finals for the second straight season with a 3-0 victory over the Clippers.
The Raiders, who lost in the 2010 finals to Barrington, will meet top-ranked La Salle in Saturday's high noon showdown at Rhode Island College's pitch. The two teams tied 2-2 during their only regular season meeting.
CUMBERLAND — After shaking off some rust in the first game, Cumberland High went into playoff mode and is now just two bigs wins from the school's first-ever state championship.
Fueled by an outstanding night from junior Sam Bertherman and a solid all-around effort from her teammates, the third-seeded Clippers swept by No. 6 seed Tolman, 3-0, in the Division II quarterfinals on Monday at the Wellness Center. Cumberland won with scores of 25-23, 25-4, 25-9.
CRANSTON – Form held true in three of the four Division I quarterfinal playoff games contested over the past three days. Top-seeded La Salle, third-seeded Shea and fourth-seeded Barrington all advanced. Only second-seed Central Falls fell by the wayside, beaten 3-2 by seventh-seeded Cumberland on Saturday afternoon.
That sets up unbeaten La Salle versus defending champion Barrington in tonight's 5 p.m. opener at Cranston Stadium followed by Shea and Cumberland at 7 p.m.
Throw out the regular-season records because in Division II, the playoffs beckon.
In a division known for staging "Pre-Thanksgiving Madness" due to an eight-team field, the Div. II playoffs get underway this coming weekend with four quarterfinal-round matchups. For local entries Tolman, St. Raphael and Cumberland, the mission is clear – extend the season to Nov. 30, the date set aside for the semifinals.
FOSTER --- St. Raphael Academy is heading back to the Division II playoffs, but in order to earn their berth, the Saints had to survive a royal barnburner on the road with Ponaganset High on Saturday afternoon.
The Saints scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns and turned up the heat defensively in the final 18 minutes of play to bus home with an exciting come-from-behind 29-23 victory that not only clinched their berth, but also snuffed out the Chieftains' playoff hopes.
PAWTUCKET – Even though goals were hard to come by on Friday night when Tolman hosted Middletown in a Division II playoff game, there was no shortage of exciting action and stunning developments during the 100 minutes of soccer and the dramatic shootout that ended the evening with the Tigers advancing to the D-II semifinals.
Tolman, which saw a hard-earned 1-0 lead disappear in the final minute of regulation, won the game on the basis of shootout goals by Sebastian Estrada and Calvin DeOliveira along with four pressure saves from keeper Adam Ghazal.
PAWTUCKET – Tolman High took care of business in the preliminary round of the Division II playoffs on Thursday night, rolling to a 3-1 victory over Tiverton.
The sixth-seeded Tigers advance to Monday's 6:30 p.m. quarterfinal round matchup at Cumberland. The Clippers, who ruled Division II-North with a 12-2 record, are seeded No. 3 overall in the tournament, behind top seed Exeter/West Greenwich (14-0) and second seed Bay View (13-1).

Today was our first jumping competition. Armas has only been jumping for a few months on and of. We decided to enter him to see how he would get on. He was nervous at first as there were many other horses galloping about in the warm up arena and the weather was rather inclement. After 30 mins or so he settled down for a good warm up. When it came to the competition he had a clear round with only one refusal ! Go Armas
Very pleased with my boys progress.
Here he is in action

How does it feel?
We lost six years together, six birthdays with a silent telephone and the memories. He would call me flower and ask me how my day was. After the Gauloise haze, everything else went back to normal but he just called me by my name, and I called him Carl. Someone burned down that abandoned house the following winter.
When I woke up this Monday morning Chloe had left a present on my bed, an adorable little Juicy Couture necklace. Later I got a phone call, it was Carl. "Happy birthday my flower", he said.

Happy birthday to the modern fairytale heroine in the penthouse suite of the dark, magical tower. Joseph Campbell says that the hero's journey is often to actualize the future by transcending the past. That's why I find this protagonist's story so compelling. :)ReplyDelete

Destiny ran into my room today
"Grandmother, we had such fun
Swimming and playing in the sun"
Her hair a wavy asterisk
Her lips expounding joy
The burnished bronze of her
The skip in her walk
I relished her swimming pool
fun and her commitment
to laugh
so simply felt
I saw myself in her decades gone
and then I burned her joy in my eyes
and cherished that she came to
me to share her moment's delight

Very comfortable and warm. The sizing guide was right on for helping me pickthe size that is comfy but still fitted for dexterity. They came with a waterproofing sample too- nice touch!

The BEST mitt out there
By the snowboard queen
from Mt. Baker Washington
About Me Expert
I won't wear any other mitt made! If you want warm, dry hands on a epic powder day this it the mitt for you. Make sure you use the nikwax that comes with it and follow the directions. You also want to buy a size up because they run small.
