Review by Ammon Bruce I took Michael's offer to test out the New Sierra Designs Backcountry Quilt. This thread started out about a quilt and now it is on tents. Michael sent me the quilt and I recieved it on October 3rd. I tested it for 2 nights and my brother one night. For those that saw the so called gaps on the Prolite video and wanted to know more. This review is for you and all the people that read it. SpecsProduce info from the workbookSD Backcountry Quilt 8002-Season.

Part II My profile 6' 3" 255 lbs49" Shoulders Top size XL Bottom size 36Shoe size 12 I test in a long sleeve merino 1 Patagonia shirt. Shorts and running socksThe quilt's specs according to me: Remember this is prototype and sizes my change. When the Quilt comes out in April 2014, it my have had some changes. So go try it, I know I will. Quilt weight 1lb 7.5 ozTop 50" wideLength 76" Hood 12"x14" fits a size 8 head comfortablyFoot Box 12" wide mummyFoot box size 21"x21" True 30 degree quilt. I feel that it couple easily have gone 5 degrees lower with bag liner. I woke up at 30 degrees feeling no cool spot anywhere. I slept on my back, side and stomach. Warm and comfortable at all sleeping styles. Tested at 30-37 degrees over the three nights I made sure to wake up early to see how I felt at the coldest time of the night. Fits up to 6'1" I found that I stretched it out in some areas, but found no cool spot where the loft had been streched tight. Right now they have a "one size fits all". (Regular size). No long size. I am hoping the final product is a inch or two longer.Part III.....
Part lllPositions and PerformanceOn your back: Well on my back I was unable to use the hand pockets do to how high they were. So, I pulled the quilt up to my neck and the hand pockets keep the warmth in like baffles. Rated 10/10The hood worked great well on my back. Head and face stayed warm all night and fit great for a size 8 head. I found no moister in the morning anywhere around the mouth opening. I thought I would, but due to a great designer the quilt remained dry. The hood felt soft against my face. My brother has claustrophobia and the hood bothered him.Rated 10/10 for back sleepers.On your Side:I tried using both pockets and found that it did not wrap well around me. It left gaps for air lose(like in the Prolite video on YouTube)down by the knees. Both he and I are big guys and had to adjust to MAKE it fit. Solution: only use one hand pocket. Sleeped on my side with the top pocket and some air lose when I moved to switch sides. Sleeped warm and cozy over all. Rated 8/10You can us the Hood with a little adjustment , but works better for a back sleeper. Rated 9/10On your Stomach:Hand pockets are your two best friends well sleeping on your stomach. Works great!! Wraps you warm and tightly. Here is where the hand pockets features shines. Rates 10/10 Well you can't use the hood well on your stomach, the opening is designed to let no air out. So it acts like a extra layer to keep your head warm, bonus! Rated 10/10Remember that I am at the big and tall side of the scale. I believe that a smaller person would not have the side sleeper draft problems like I did. You would find it more like a 10/10 rating. My rating is based on Features, Warmth, Comfort and overall Quality of sleep. Conclusion......
Conclusion:This is not a ultralight Quilt. The Backcountry Quilt is more like the missing link between Ultralight and light hiking. No cuben fiber here,but take the ZPacks quilt and you have to wear a separate down hood with that; which is the way you want it. Now look at this Quilt for whom its' target audience is, every one else.Going to REI or MooseJaw you don't find quilts with these helpful features. So for everyone else this brings them one step closer to Ultralight hiking and that is a good thing. Also you don't find $250 6'2" 32* degrees hypo phobic down quilts anywhere. So come April 2014, go try one out and see how it fits you. I had three warm and comfortable night sleep in 30* degree weather. This is your Big and Tall review. If it works for me, it should work for you!Tester:Ammon Bruce Side note: I have no affiliations with Sierra Designs or Michael Galvin. I was given nothing to try this quilt or write this review. Just a thank you message from Michael. I payed to ship it back to Michael. Thanks for your time.
Ammon,Thanks for creating a new thread to highlight your work on reviewing this quilt.It is great to see some innovative designs that we have never seen before in a quilt and from a larger manufacture.Definitely should be an eye opener to the traditional backpackers or to those lightweight backpackers who are curious to try out the move to a quilt.Great price for sure.Wish SD a lot of luck in bringing this to the traditional backpackers at places like REI.Thanks for including a photo of yourself in the quilt while using the hood.This quilt looks pretty wide to allow coverage for your arms off to your sides.When sleeping on your back, looks like plenty of coverage to keep out drafts.Sounds like the hand pockets are for side and stomach sleepers to keep out the draft.Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to share with us your experience with the SD quilt.Tony
Hey Amman:Great to meet you and thanks for trying out the quilt. I wanted to let you know that based on field testing, including yours, we have made some minor modifications to the quilt to provide better coverage around the "gapping" identified in some of the threads.I am enclosing a photo that details the pattern changes.....
Great idea, why didn't I think of that. Its nice to see you looking at your designs and improving them b4 they hit the market.
I'm having problems visualizing what its like to get the hood on pillow in place and then get all the tucking in around the shoulders and neck and not have drafts could you show us what the upper part of the quilt looks like from the under side with any snaps snapped Sorry to be a pain.
Ammon,Thanks for the review and follow-up. Very helpful. I particularly like your 10 point scale idea. Makes for easy digestion of the info.
VIDEOMark,I think the video link from the previous thread on the quilt may answer some of your questions.
Hi all:The Backcountry Quilt has no snaps, or closures of any kind. One of the things I hate most is designs that add fussy adjustments and hoo-ha's that force the user to fiddle. We thinking camping should be simple and comfortable. Neither the Backcounty Bed or the Backcountry quilt has any kind of closure. And even our new Mobile Mummy (which has zipperless arm ports and can be worn like a garment) has only a single zipper, that not only provides access and closure, but controls the seal around the neck without the usual blob of constrictive fussy toggles, cords and Velcro. It works without all that stuff. I can't believe as users we have accepted all this junk in the past: do you tie strings around your neck in your bed at home? Why would we do it in the backcountry?Regarding how to "tuck" the quilt while on the back: the good actually makes it quite easy. You lay on your back, slip the hood on, then roll up on one side and the quilt falls cross your back. You just hold it there with your hand and roll back to your back. Then repeat on the other side.
And by "good" I mean "hood". Dang iPad......
Since there are but a few reviews out there on this quilt, I wanted to provide my first impressions. After receiving the quilt a few days ago, I decided to tested out last night in my backyard. The temperatures were moderate with only a breeze (40 degrees early morning. Granted, it was not cold but I didn't feel that I was pushing the limits of the bag by any means, and I was only wearing light-weight, capilene long underwear. What I really loved about the quilt was the comfort and flexibility it provided. As has been mentioned, it is a functional, simple design- somewhat of a hybrid between a traditional quilt and traditional bag. As a point of reference, my go to bag has been a Mont-bell super stretch #3 and I found the quilt more comfortable and versatile. First impressions are just that, but I have purchased and used enough backpacking equipment to know when things are not going to work for me. Time on the trail will provide me with more of a feel for the quilt, but I'm pleasantly impressed by the quality and overall design of the item. If I wanted to picky, my only recommendation for improvement at this point would be for a smaller stuff sack.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrellby Susanna Clarke
Winner of the 2005 Hugo Award for Best Novel
Staff Pick
I know you shouldn't recommend books that you are only halfway through, but this is such a lush tapestry of a book I can't resist. Like a moist rich chocolate torte, Strange and Norrell is the sort of book you ration out to avoid finishing it too soon. If you need more convincing, Neil Gaiman calls it, "unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last seventy years."
A fantasy book of manners? Yes, and it works! Original and clever, this lush novel comments on the society and culture of magic. Strange and Norrell have opposing viewpoints on magic's role, and their clash provides a fabulous backdrop for this wonderful book. Just read it! It's great.
"It may be just as well that Susanna Clarke's first novel, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, is nearly as big as a house, since this is the kind of book you want to move into and settle down in for a long stay. It's set in a world very much like the England of the early 1800s, only in Clarke's version magic was once a daily presence and has since been lost or perhaps merely misplaced. In other words, this world resembles the world of our own reading, for most of us can remember a time when stepping into a book was like entering into an enchantment....Susanna Clarke's magic is universal." Laura Miller, Salon.com (read the entire Salon.com review)
"The prospect of having to read an 800-page novel billed as 'Harry Potter for adults' was enough to make this weary book critic pine for an invisibility cloak. But for those of you who, like me, can't endure another charmless opening at the Dursleys', take heart: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is no Harry Potter knockoff. It's altogether original — far closer to Dickens than Rowling....Move over, little Harry. It's time for some real magic." Ron Charles, The Christian Science Monitor (read the entire Christian Science Monitor review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.
But at Hurtfew Abbey in Yorkshire, the rich, reclusive Mr Norrell has assembled a wonderful library of lost and forgotten books from England's magical past and regained some of the powers of England's magicians. He goes to London and raises a beautiful young woman from the dead. Soon he is lending his help to the government in the war against Napoleon Bonaparte, creating ghostly fleets of rain-ships to confuse and alarm the French.
All goes well until a rival magician appears. Jonathan Strange is handsome, charming, and talkative — the very opposite of Mr Norrell. Strange thinks nothing of enduring the rigors of campaigning with Wellington's army and doing magic on battlefields. Astonished to find another practicing magician, Mr Norrell accepts Strange as a pupil. But it soon becomes clear that their ideas of what English magic ought to be are very different. For Mr Norrell, their power is something to be cautiously controlled, while Jonathan Strange will always be attracted to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic. He becomes fascinated by the ancient, shadowy figure of the Raven King, a child taken by fairies who became king of both England and Faerie, and the most legendary magician of all. Eventually Strange's heedless pursuit of long-forgotten magic threatens to destroy not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything that he holds dear.
Sophisticated, witty, and ingeniously convincing, Susanna Clarke's magisterial novel weaves magic into a flawlessly detailed vision of historical England. She has created a world so thoroughly enchanting that eight hundred pages leave readers longing for more.
"The drawing room social comedies of early 19th-century Britain are infused with the powerful forces of English folklore and fantasy in this extraordinary novel of two magicians who attempt to restore English magic in the age of Napoleon. In Clarke's world, gentlemen scholars pore over the magical history of England, which is dominated by the Raven King, a human who mastered magic from the lands of faerie. The study is purely theoretical until Mr. Norrell, a reclusive, mistrustful bookworm, reveals that he is capable of producing magic and becomes the toast of London society, while an impetuous young aristocrat named Jonathan Strange tumbles into the practice, too, and finds himself quickly mastering it. Though irritated by the reticent Norrell, Strange becomes the magician's first pupil, and the British government is soon using their skills. Mr. Strange serves under Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars (in a series of wonderful historical scenes), but afterward the younger magician finds himself unable to accept Norrell's restrictive views of magic's proper place and sets out to create a new age of magic by himself. Clarke manages to portray magic as both a believably complex and tedious labor, and an eerie world of signs and wonders where every object may have secret meaning. London politics and talking stones are portrayed with equal realism and seem indisputably part of the same England, as signs indicate that the Raven King may return. The chock-full, old-fashioned narrative (supplemented with deft footnotes to fill in the ignorant reader on incidents in magical history) may seem a bit stiff and mannered at first, but immersion in the mesmerizing story reveals its intimacy, humor and insight, and will enchant readers of fantasy and literary fiction alike. Agent, Jonny Geller. (Oct.) Forecast: A massive push by Bloomsbury has made this one of the most anticipated novels of the season. It's convenient to pigeonhole it as Harry Potter for grownups — and grown-up readers of J.K. Rowling will enjoy it — but its deep grounding in history gives it gravitas as well as readability. 200,000 first printing; rights sold in 14 countries." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last seventy years. It's funny, moving, scary, otherworldly, practical and magical, a journey through light and shadow-from beginning to end, a perfect pleasure." Neil Gaiman, bestselling author of American Gods and The Graveyard Book
"An instant classic, one of the finest fantasies ever written." Kirkus Reviews
"Absolutely compelling...the author captures the period and its literary conventions with complete conviction. An astonishing achievement." Charles Palliser, author of The Quincunx and The Unburied
"Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor....In this fantasy, the master that magic serves is reverence for writing." Gregory Maguire, The New York Times Book Review
"Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell may or may not be the finest English fantasy of the past 70 years. But it is still magnificent and original, and that should be enough for any of us." Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
"Clarke has written a 19th century classic; there's little doubt it will have readers clamoring for more." Rocky Mountain News
"What kind of magic can make a nearly 800-page novel seem too short?....[Clarke's] epic history of an alternative, magical England is so beautifully realized that not one of the many enchantments Clarke chronicles in the book could ever be as potent or as quickening as her own magnificent narrative." BookPage
"Clarke's ability to construct a fully imagined world...is impressive, and there are some suspenseful moments. But her attempt to graft a fantasy narrative onto such historical realities as the Battle of Waterloo is more often awkward than clever..." The New Yorker
"For all of her flights of postmodernist fancy, for all her stories about 'black towers' and magical books and hidden bridges that connect England to Faerie, Clarke has delivered a book of universal truths and unexpectedly heartbreaking acuity." Dallas-Ft. Worth Star Telegram
"Clarke has crafted a great, looping narrative filled with characters greater and lesser that will pique first the interest and then the sympathy of the reader....The readers will find that this tale, though long, comes to an end far too soon." Denver Post
"[I]mmense, intelligent, inventive, arid, and exhausting....Clarke is a restrained and witty writer with an arch and eminently readable style....Wholly original and richly imagined, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell turns out to be more admirable than lovable. (Grade: B)" Entertainment Weekly
"Strange lives up to all the enticing promise of Clarke's earlier work. Her deftly assumed faux-19th century point of view will beguile cynical adult readers into losing themselves in this entertaining and sophisticated fantasy." Seattle Times
"Clarke is marvelously clever — she could step right up there with J.K. Rowling. Her extensive, fictional footnotes are as amusing as they are informative....

springer shock rebuild?

Anyone know who rebuilds springer shocks (ride control) ?
shock rebuild
dont know of anybody that rebuilds a hyd shock. had the same problem back in the late 70's. ended up going to a semi truck boneyard and buying a used shock from a drivers side air cushion seat. after a little searching, found one exact same size. bought it for a few dollars
Didn't know the year springer made any differance but if it helps, it's a flat/knuck inline. The shock is the standard Monroe Shock (not the friction style) that bolts on. Bought one on ebay and there's little to no hydraulic action left. Thought somebody here would have a lead on anyone who rebuilds these things. Thanks.
Thanks Chris. Guess I assumed that since it was a springer shock that needed to be rebuilt others would assume it was one old enough to need rebuilding. Yea, I'm aware that V Tiwin has repops and they're $200 a shot. Thought if anyone knew somebody who could rebuild in the $50 -$100 range it would be worth it.
I was in on a discussion that concerned rebuilding those monroe's here on the forum a few years back. The basic conclusion was the shocks were shot once they leaked out the fluid. I suggested a drilled and tapped hole with a one way valve, installed in an inconspicuious space, for the purpose of adding fluid, but a few folk thought the fluid would escape again anyway, since it was worn out in the first place.

Carbon golfer Corbin Black avoids a water hazard in an earlier region match. Black finished tied for 11th. Team mate Jordan Pinedo ended tied for fifth and was named to the academic all-state team.
For Coach Tony Pinedo and the Carbon golf team, it was deja vu at this year's state tournament.
"When the season began for the Carbon High golf team, expectations were very high. With the team finishing in forth place last year and with all six golfers that participated at state returning for another year, the goal was to improve on last year and maybe even win the championship," said Pinedo.
Coach Pinedo went on to say: "As the season came to a close last Thursday, on the final day of the state tournament at Schneiter's Bluff, the team found themselves in a familiar place. Once again we finished in forth place. We were only six strokes behind Desert Hills for third place. But the team wasn't disappointed or upset. It had been the culmination to a great season for the team and a great career for the senior members."
One hundred and one golfers began the tournament and the Dinos quickly found themselves in forth place with a team total of 318. Carbon was led by senior Jordan Pinedo who fired a 76 to put him in sixth place in the individual race. Corbin Black, senior, shot a 78 and was in 12th place. Geoff Vogel, senior, scored an 82, as did Jaren McCourt.
Park City had the lead with a team total of 299. Judge Memorial came in second with a score of 304. The Dinos only trailed Desert Hills by three shots and was looking to overtake them for third place on the final day. But Carbon was unable to catch Desert Hills on the second day. Desert Hills shot a 307 and beat Carbon once again by three. Carbon came in with a 310.
The Dinos played much better on the second day as Pinedo leads the team with a 75. Black finished with a 77 and senior Justin Child shot a 79. Vogel and junior Gage Bigelow also fired 79s and McCourt ended the day with an 81.
With the total of 151 for both days, Jordan Pinedo finished tied for fifth place in the individual race. Black had a two day total of 155 and was tied for 11th place. Park City ended up winning the tournament finishing a shot ahead of Judge.
The final standings for the top 10 teams: Park City 603; Judge Memorial 604; Desert Hills 622; Carbon 628; Juan Diego 639; Wasatch 644; Union 648; Bear River 664; Hurricane 674; Delta 685.
Jordan Pinedo was selected to the Academic All-State Team. Only eight players are selected in 3A golf each year. All-State selections will be made soon and Pinedo feels that several of his team will be named to the team.
"The strength of our region, Region 10, was apparent when all four teams finished in the top seven teams in the State. This has been a tremendous year for the golf team," said Coach Pinedo.
He finished up with: "congratulations go to all the members of the team for all of their work and to all of the parents who have supported the team all year. I want to extend a special thanks to the senior members of the team, Corbin Black, Justin Child, Jordan Pinedo, and Geoff Vogel, for four years of excellence. The team has taken forth place twice and third once over the past three years. Although the season didn't end exactly how the team wanted it to, it was a GREAT YEAR! I also want to add my appreciation to coach Chris Nelson who volunteers his time and money for the team."

MSG has some video of Lundqvist in studio yesterday
Update: 8:27PM:
Here is the rest of what Lundqvist said on CaBoom this morning:
- Carton calls Boomer a "nine year old boy" when it comes to his Rangers fandom
- Boomer calls Sidney Crosby overrated and calls him a "diver." Lundqvist has no comment
- He has a Swedish girlfriend, Carton is devastated by that for some reason. Carton demands her name. Lundqvist says that she understands him and they come from similar backgrounds. She is 28
- Lundqvist benches 125 kilos which has says transfers to 250lbs
- When questioned, Lundqvist says that he likes Tortorella, likes the different coaching style that he possess
- He says that number of shots don't matter, but the quality of the shots. Doesn't matter if he gets 30-35 shots a night
- Carton says he only knows the first line of the Rangers players. He likes Frolov
- Once again, Lundqvist says the team will make the playoffs
- Joel Lundqvist signed a six year deal with Frolunda in Sweden

- Carton wants to be acknowledged when he goes to Rangers games. They swapped cell phone numbers
Update: 2:15PM:
Justin Teranova in the NY Post has more on Lundqvist on CaBoom
Original Post:
Earlier this morning Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist joined WFAN's morning show of Boomer and Carton. Here is part of a recap from the early part of the 12 minute interview
- Craig Carton asks why Gaborik didn't shoot against Philadelphia. Lundqvist says he doesn't know.
- Carton says that he HATES Tortorella and thinks he should have been fired after his incident against Washington in the 2009 playoffs
- Carton claims that Tortorella doesn't like Avery, Hank says he does like Avery and that Avery is important to the team.
- Lundqvist calls missing the playoffs "heartbreaking"
- He didn't care that the Flyers went to the Finals, only concerned with the Rangers and them getting better
- When someone like Ovechkin is coming down on him, Lundqvist says he tries to be confident and be patient.
- Later in the interview Carton asks Lundqvist to guarantee the Rangers making the playoffs and Lundqvist responds, "Absolutely… we will. I promise."
…Full recap to come later or click here to listen
My computer heard Craig Carton and decided it would rather start lowering the battery than keep listening
Thanks to Marc for the heads up email about Lundqvist on CaBoom this morning

Home > National Historic Sites > The Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site
Located to the west of the Island of Montréal along Lake Saint-Louis, The Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site testifies to the apogee of the fur industry in the Montréal region in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The old stone warehouse dates from 1803.
Alexander Gordon, ex-clerk and stockholder of the North West Company had it built to store trading goods and furs. In 1833, the warehouse became the property of the Hudson's Bay Company.
Lachine occupied a strategic position on the fur route as a departure and arrival point for trading expeditions. It was also an important centre for storing the Montréal merchants' furs and for trading goods. Today, this unique warehouse houses an exhibition that enables visitors to relive the Montréal fur epic.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Angus King for Senate campaign is trying to get two TV attack ads off the air. Both ads are sponsored by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to defeat King and elect Republican Charlie Summers.
The ads that made King unhappy both target his Record Hill wind farm project in the western Maine community of Roxbury. King and his business partner have said they sold their interest in the project months before it received a $100 million federal loan, and more than a year before it was given a $33 million federal grant.
King's campaign called a press conference on Monday to say the ads should be taken off the air because they contain false and misleading statements. Campaign manager Kay Rand says the ads claim King got a "sweetheart deal" to help build the project, apparently a reference to the federal loan. Rand says news reports have shown that claim isn't true.
The ads also say King made "millions and millions" from the deal, but Rand says financial records show he made far less -- about $212, 000.
Rand says that's why the King campaign has decided to fight back against the negative ads. The campaign has called or sent letters to all Maine TV stations, asking them to pull the ads. Rand says if that doesn't work, the campaign may take more direct legal action.
For its part, the NRSC issued its own statement, saying, in part,"The simple fact is that the ad is accurate and King knows it, and these legal threats are nothing but a desperate PR distraction from that fact. "
The television stations are reviewing King's request. An FCC spokesperson says federal law prohibits censoring of candidate commercials, but does not provide the same protection for political ads by independent groups, including PAC's like the NRSC. Broadcasters are free to demand edits or changes in those ads, or even take them off the air.
As of Monday evening, the King campaign was waiting for answers from the television stations.

Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This study has determined that many patients with prostate cancer will eventually be affected by their disease. A couple of points should be noted that make the patient population different from that seen currently in the United States. First, PSA screening was not widespread in Great Britain until the early to mid 1990s, so many of the patients may not have been detected by PSA screening alone. Also, the majority of these patients were identified by TURP, which means they are lower stage if T1a or T1b, but higher stage if they were having symptoms that initiated the TURP. Also, there was the question as to whether or not 6 months is a good time to follow patients without treatment. Many patients simply take that long to make a decision as to whether to be treated or not, without specifically choosing watchful waiting. What can be derived from this and other data is that patients with a lifespan less than five years do not necessarily need treatment, and mortality estimates can be made from nomograms such as these, taking into account PSA, T stage, and above all, Gleason score.

College golf scholarships. It's our mission at the AJGA to provide a platform for juniors to showcase their skills in front of college coaches in hopes that one day they will sign a National Letter of Intent or be offered a position on a college golf team.
One signature symbolizes the years of dedication and determination to become the best. It marks the turning of a new page and the next chapter in a young career.
Players graduating in 2015 will be able to sign National Letters of Intent during the early signing period November 12, 2014 through November 19, 2014 and the regular signing period April 15, 2015 through August 1, 2015 and are requested to submit their decisions to the AJGA. Many others will commit to play on college golf teams that do not offer athletic scholarships. In either case, please complete the AJGA College Commitment Form.
Also, make sure to check out Coach John Brooks' answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the college golf recruiting process.

Sometimes when reading certain articles, I wince. This story on Kwame Harris and Dimitri Geier is very cringeworthy. Especially this part: The dispute started when Harris got upset at his friend, Dimitri Geier, for pouring soy sauce on a plate of rice. According to the paper, which was citing a suit filed in San Mateo County Superior Court, the two argued for seven minutes after the soy sauce was poured, and Harris said he wasn't going to take Geier to the airport as he had said he would. When the two went to get Geier's belongings from Harris' car, Harris accused Geier of stealing his underwear and tried pulling the man's pants down.
Sorry about that. Truly. Can I offer Hines Ward dressed as a zombie in The Walking Dead as a token of my penance?

The British Premier League kicked off yesterday and for Arsenal fans many of our worst nightmares materialized. A 1-3 home loss
to Aston Villa left many of those at the Emirates in open revolt against Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. Many of the problems that Arsenal have been fighting for the last several years reared up again in this game. Let's take a look:
1. Inability to hold a lead / no killer instinct? Yep.
Just over five minutes into the game and Arsenal are up 1-0 thanks to some really nice play from Walcott and Giroud. That should have been a cue to put the pressure on and make a statement. When Man U took a 1-0 lead today against Swansea, the put in another two minutes later and eventually went up 3-0 before winning 4-1. Arsenal however went into half tied 1-1. This seems to be a recurring issue with Arsenal – when does a lead ever feel safe? Not only do we seem unable to get that second quick goal, you always feel like we'll leak the equalizer at the other end.
2. Lack of focus/desire on defense? Yep.
Too many times it just looks like Arsenal treat defense as something not to be too bothered about. On the first goal, Gaby Agbonlahor bobbed and weaved his way through several Arsenal defenders. Once he did so, several other players decided to become spectators rather than pursue the play. On the second goal, Arsenal gave the ball away easily in midfield. Bad call on the penalty? Yeah, probably, but don't turn it over like that and the penalty/non-penalty never becomes an issue. Yes, on the third goal Arsenal were pressing hard to get an equalizer, but where was the left back? Did no one have defensive responsibilities on that play?
3. Lots of possession, not much to show for it? Yep.
Arsenal have an abundance of skilled players and as a result often have the bulk of possession. Yesterday was no exception as the Gunners enjoyed 64% of time on the ball. But that possession resulted in only four shots on goal (as compared to Villa's 6 shots). Would we have taken more shots if Podolski had come on before the 93rd(?!) minute, or if Cazorla had played more than 45 minutes? Probably, but they didn't, and Arsenal only managed one goal. Either the players on the pitch must simply have a go more often, or the manager needs to come up with a new game plan. Either way, four shots on goal, at home, against mid-table opposition is going to result in a poor result, greater possession or no.
4. Brittle players? Yep.
I don't watch many games from the other BPL teams, so maybe this is common across the league, but Arsenal players seem to be injured, nicked and bruised an awful lot. Putting aside the players who were unavailable before the game started, during the game Gibbs, Sagna and Oxlade-Chamberlain all seemed to pick up injuries of some degree. Even if none of them miss time, their losses within this game shows the brittleness of our players. It just doesn't seem to take much to bang our guys around.
5. Lack of squad depth an issue? Yep.
For the last several weeks Arsenal fans have been waiting for the transfers we all thought were coming. Sure, the transfer window is still open, but the games count now. Arteta is out for 4-5 weeks, Vermaelen is also out till mid-September. Monreal missed the first game… I appreciate that Wenger doesn't want to go out and just pick up any player, especially at an inflated price, but if bringing in players earns the team points on days like today, well then they aren't over-priced. 16 BPL teams found players worth purchasing this summer, why couldn't Arsenal?
It's just one game, but let's see if this result spurs Wenger to make moves now.

Comments about Columbia Sundance Dress (Women's):
I own this dress in black and absolutely LOVE it. I wear a size 12 and I am 5'4" and 155 lbs. and an active 60 year old. The black is very flattering and helps conceal my age related tummy poochiness. However, the green dress actually defined those problem areas instead of minimizing them. The pattern was nice and the color was attractive. I would recommend this dress overall....

David Wright likes Matt Harvey's inner confidence
In a detailed report for MLB.com, Adam Rosenbloom talks with David Wright, Terry Collins and Paul DePodesta about Matt Harvey.
"He's got an inner confidence about him that you don't see from a lot of younger players," Wright told Rosenbloom. "In Spring Training, he was not wide-eyed. There was no awe. He works incredibly hard. He's relatively quiet, but he gets along with everybody. I think it's a great mix of that confidence — not a cockiness, but a confidence — and also a feeling that he knows he belongs."
Harvey was shut down for the season in mid-September after accumulating 169 innings pitches between Triple-A and in the big leagues. He threw 135 total innings the year before in the minors, which was his first professional season.
Harvey told Rosenbloom that he understood the organization's decision, though he's on record as saying he would have been more than happy to continue pitching.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
It was the right call, since the goal is to ease these kids in to being able to throw 200 innings in a season. Harvey's already close to that, and he's pn a good pace it seems. This is being done all across the league, with Stephen Strasburg being the most notorious case.
DePodesta says every case is different, and that it's not a fixed policy. But, based on what the team did with Harvey, it's probably fair to assume Zack Wheeler will not be allowed to throw more than around 170 innings next season. In that scenario, figuring he starts the year in Triple-A, if he gets promoted to the Mets mid-season, say mid-summer, which is totally realistic, he too will likely get shut down in mid- to late-September next season, just like Harvey.
It's such a frustrating situation, as I'm Nationals fans can attest to. On one hand, old timers will tell you, 'If you want guys to be durable and able to throw lots of innings, they need to throw.' The Braves and Leo Mazzone were legendary for forcing guys to throw, throw and throw as much as possible during each year of development, not just on the mound, but long-tossing and more. The idea being: The more you throw, the more you can throw. Nolan Ryan believes in that model as well, which he and the Rangers have benefited from the last few seasons. The flip side, however, is what we see taking over most teams (including the Mets) which is the ease-in model. The idea being: Go slow, step by step, and work up to 200 innings in a season.
Personally, I'm fine with how the Mets and most teams are handling this. I mean, guys like Harvey and Wheeler are going to need time to work on pitches in the minor leagues. So, if there is some science suggesting it's best and most safe and productive to easy in to 200 innings, that's fine by me. The real problem occurs with a guy like Jennry Mejia, who has been hurt, and so (when you combine the pitch counts with time on the disabled list) despite being in the farm system for six season and still hasn't spent enough time on the mound to learn and evolve as pitcher. Those cases are rare, though. Overall, while it's not perfect, I think teams are mostly doing it right and hopefully they tweak and adjust for the better as they learn more about what works and what doesn't.

How You're Wasting Money, Or 10 Ways Poor People Get Screwedcarolyncastiglia
My friend Cecilia sat me down at breakfast – a breakfast she paid for – and said, "You have to stop talking about how poor you are in front of the kid. It's going to affect her mindset." It isn't that I hadn't thought the same thing to myself, but more that I am so constantly overwhelmed by how expensive life in New York is that I find myself talking about how poor I am as frequently as homeless people ask for change. Of course, you don't have to live in an overpriced metropolis to know what saying "no" when your child asks if you can go out to dinner feels like or to feel like no matter how hard you work, you're struggling to make ends meet. What Cecilia made me realize at breakfast that day is, it's not that I'm poor, it's that I'm broke. I make okay money, but it goes so quickly on basics.
But here's something interesting, something I think all of us who feel pinched in the purse instinctively know but feel helpless to fight: many of the things we do to try to save money actually cost us more money in the long run. Here are my versions of these ten examples of things you do to save money that end up costing you more, courtesy of Lifehacker. I do 8 out of 10 of these things on a regular basis and have done 9 out of 10 at least once, so I can tell you with great assurance that doing these sorts of things will backfire. The question is, can you afford not to?
Not having health insurance/avoiding the doctor 1 of 10I am one of the many millions of Americans without health insurance. When I was married, I had health insurance and did not go to the dentist for ten years. Why? I don't know. Because I'm an idiot. (And my teeth, it turns out, were fine.) I go to the dentist every six months now and I pay out of pocket. I had a pinched nerve in the spring and had to visit the emergency room. I'm still trying to pay that bill. Low-cost health insurance may not offer great coverage, but it's probably better than no coverage in the long run.

Buying on credit 2 of 10Lifehacker explains just how easy it is to misuse store credit cards, each of us having the potential to become "a credit card revolver who is paying hefty interest charges." Saving that 10% at the register can cost you in the end.
Photo via Flickr
Doing your own taxes 3 of 10I used to do my own taxes (when I was very young and single and during my marriage as well). Not only was I told our taxes were done wrong on more than one occasion, resulting in us owing more than we thought we did, I want to emphasize Lifehacker's more important point that hiring an accountant for a few hundred bucks will get you maximized deductions and more money in return.
Photo via Flickr
Not having a retirement or savings account 4 of 10To quote Whitney Houston, "I have nothing." I don't have a 401K, I don't have a savings account and I don't have an "emergency fund." Lifehacker says it's essential to have one, but that a 401K or similar savings plan is even more important, "although how anyone does that in this dire economy, with pay raises not meeting inflation and massive unemployment, is something of a miracle."
Photo via Flickr
Buying cheap sh*t 5 of 10We've all done this. "Buy cheap, buy twice," Lifehacker says. SO TRUE. I already have to buy a new vacuum to replace the one I bought in April because it's broken. I was trying to save by spending less on a cheaper unit. #suckingfail Need I say anything about Payless Shoes?
Photo via Flickr
Not feeding the meter 6 of 10I am so guilty of this. "I'll be right back!" Yes, I will be right back, with a ticket on my windshield. Take it from one who knows: get enough tickets and your car gets towed. That can cost you over $1000. Keep a roll of quarters handy. I've learned my lesson.
Photo via Flickr
Going bogo 7 of 10My friend Jenny and I used to laugh with delight when it was BoGo time at Payless. And then we each had two sh*tty pairs of shoes. Hooray?
Driving around for gas/cigs 8 of 10Lifehacker explains exactly why mathematically you lose money driving around for gas, but I'll just add that I know lots of people who drive to local Indian Reservations to buy cigarettes, and here's why you're losing money there in the long run: cancer treatment is expensive. Especially if you don't have health insurance.
Photo via Flickr
Not taking care of your car 9 of 10Guys! This is the one thing on this list I have never done! So proud right now. Get that oil change! Lifehacker says, "Take care of your car, and it will take care of you."
Photo via Flickr
Stocking up on groceries that rot in your fridge 10 of 10Lifehacker describes this category as "Buying Food in Bulk and Then Throwing Half of It Away," which is probably the suburban version of what happens to us urban dwellers all the time. You spend $100 at the grocery store but eat out 3 days that week. When you're ready to cook the green beans you purchased, they're covered in mold. It's called meal planning! (And I'm terrible at it.)

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
About CEUs
The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a uniform unit that measures individual participation in noncredit continuing education. Much like academic credits, CEUs are awarded for participation in certain kinds of educational activities.
The benefit of CEUs is that they allow individuals to record their participation in continuing education activities regardless of where those units are undertaken (in public or private settings) or for what purpose they are intended (use by individuals, institutions, organizations, governmental bodies, or something else entirely).
Furthermore, CEUs can be used to measure non-credit continuing education without regard to age of participants, subject matter, program format, or instructional methodology, which allows individuals who desire additional educational experiences to look to many sources of continuing education and to select from many formats common to the field, while accumulating a uniform record available for future reference.
How Can CEUs be Used?
People choose to take courses for CEUs for a variety of reasons. Among the most common are:
- Maintenance or improvement of professional competencies
- Documentation of continuing qualifications for licensure, certification or registration
- Evidence of personal and vocational growth and adjustment to meet changing career demands
- Preparation for a new career

St. Lawrence and Franklin counties no longer have to wait with their hands outstretched for their share of tribal compact money released by the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe to the state as part of a settlement agreement.
The transfer of $1.8 million each to St. Lawrence and Franklin counties which will share the proceeds with the towns of Massena, Brasher, Bombay and Fort Covington was made Tuesday afternoon, state Division of Budget spokesman Morris A. Peters said.
The money was eagerly awaited.
We are in urgent need of these dollars, Franklin County Manager Thomas Leitz said.
The state announced in May that it had reached an agreement with the Mohawk Tribe, which had not turned over the states 25 percent share of slot machine revenue since 2010 because of a claim its exclusivity was violated.
The deal means the state will not site a casino in the area claimed as exclusive by the Mohawks. The tribe will pay $30 million of payments owed and 25 percent of future gaming revenue to the state.
St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, along with the affected towns, will share $7.5 million in back payments. The first payment of $1.8 million each to St. Lawrence and Franklin counties was to come after plans for its use were approved by the state.
The money was intended for economic development activities, although St. Lawrence County officials have argued that it is a practice that should be eliminated in future rounds of funding.
We submitted our plans immediately, St. Lawrence County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
Empire State Development which reviewed the plans had questions about the town of Brashers intent to use its money toward a highway barn but eventually approved the purpose, Ms. St. Hilaire said. Franklin Countys plans were also approved by ESD and forwarded to the Division of Budget.
The time lag may have seemed lengthy but was part of the states process, Mr. Peters said.
Both counties will use someof the money to reimburse themselves for projects and programs that have already taken place.
We did them on our own, Mr. Leitz said.
No one knows what to expect with future payouts.
A payment of $1.87 million for 2011-12 was also announced, but when it will be available is unknown.
The agreement also jumpstarted discussions among the state, the tribe and local governments to resolve unrelated land claim disputes. A number of high-level meetings have been in the works, including one Tuesday in which St. Lawrence County Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, Legislator Anthony Arquiett, D-Helena, and others went to Albany.
Were in negotiations and there are many factors that come into play, Mr. Putney said.
Franklin County representatives have also consulted with the state in separate meetings to address land claims and their impact on back taxes and services provided by the county without a means of reimbursement, Mr. Leitz said.
Its complex, he said.
A recent court ruling dismissed a majority of land claims in a suit filed by St. Regis Mohawks seeking the return of property in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties. But the so-called Bombay or Hogansburg Triangle in the middle of the St. Regis Reservation remains in play.
No one believes the ruling will mean an end to litigation, so the state and the tribe are trying to come to a negotiated resolution after years of court decisions, appeals and reversals, Ms. St. Hilaire said.
Everything is on the table, she said. Thirty years is enough. Can we come to some resolution here?

Best Uses
Comments about Sabian B8 Pro Medium Crash Brilliant:
Overall, I liked the sound of the cymbal. The major complaint I had is that it cracked in only about 7 months of use. I am a rather hard hitter though, even though I try not to, but when you're really rocking out it's hard to soften up, am I right? But again, overall I think it's a great cymbal for the price, just try to take it easy on it
Comments about Sabian B8 Pro Medium Crash Brilliant:
I think this cymbal is great with the price and has an OK sound. Its very dark and it definatly shows its self. I have found that most Sabians do show their selves in the past hearing the Vault and HHX. Those are by far better cymbals, but if your looking for something cost efficient and that sounds good and loud, then this your cymbal. It also has a low rumble after you hit it and it can interfear with your mics if you use them.
Comments about Sabian B8 Pro Medium Crash Brilliant:
I bought this cymbal to add another dynamic. It was mainly to take the place of my 18" china over my two floor toms. I used to always like to crash on the china after a fast roll, because it was more comfortable to go there than to go back across the kit to my 16". But my china is a BOLD little cymbal, and it likes to make sure that it's gonna be heard, not ideal for all styles of music. and so my china moved to the back of the kit and this little guy took it's stand. Now don't get me wrong; it is a good cymbal, but it was just not what I was hoping it would be. The sound is a little too dark for what I really want to use it for. It sounds almost like an old crash/ride, instead of a true crash to me. I will still keep it, and even use it on the kit for a while until I can afford to try something new. Even though it's not perfect, you cannot beat the pricetag. B8-pros are some SERIOUSLY TOUGH!!!!!! little cymbals so it's gonna last I assure you of that. All in all, if you're looking for a dark tone, and short sustain, on a budget, this is your cymbal.

Jays vs. Southern Illinois
Southern Illinois holds a 63-56 series edge on
Creighton, sweeping the regular-season meeting with the Jays last season. The Bluejays, however, took the most critical game in 2012 with a 8-6 with over SIU in the MVC Tournament Championship. Coach Servais is 18-16 against Southern Illinois in 34 career meetings.
Scouting the Salukis (18-18, 2-7 MVC)
Southern Illinois enters the weekend on a modest two-game winning streak, taking the final game of their series with Missouri State (8-5) last Sunday and downing Tennessee-Martin (7-6) on Tuesday. SIU's other MVC win also came on a Sunday, salvaging the finale at Evansville on April 7 (13-5).
As a team the Salukis are hitting .282, but just .274 in MVC play. Junior Ryan Casillas has been tearing up Valley pitchers, hitting .471 in conference games (16-for-34). Overall his average is third on the team at .318, senior Austin Montgomery leads Southern Illinois on the season with a .348 average and a team-best four home runs. Two other dangerous bats for the Salukis are junior Matt Jones and Jake Welch. Jones has struggled in conference (.194), but is hitting .338 on the season. Welch, meanwhile is the only true stolen base threat for SIU with 14 of the teams' 26 swipes.
On the mound the Salukis have a team ERA of 3.61, led by combined 3.23 ERA from their weekend starters. The pitching staff has been challenged by the Southern Illinois' defense. The Salukis have committed 53 errors this season, leading to 45 unearned runs.
Quick Hits
TD Tidbits
Double Trouble
Southern Illinois enters the weekend with an MVC leading 71 doubles this season, by contrast the Jays have the lowest total in the conference at 39.
Ed Servais Baseball (ESB) = Defense
Since taking over as Creighton's head coach in 2004, Ed Servais' teams have committed the fewest errors in the nation (491). The Jays also hold the top overall fielding percentage during that stretch, .977. In 2013 Creighton is maitaining that pace with a .977 fielding percentage (25 errors in 1109 chances).
ESB Lesson Number 2, Fundamentals
Along with a focus on defense, Creighton has become known as a team that is fundamentally sound. In 2013 the Jays are 5th in the nation with 52 sacrifice bunts, led by junior Federico Castagnini who is second in the nation in bunts per game (0.46).
The Final Countdown
Creighton has been automatic with a lead late this season. The Jays at 16-0 when leading after six, 18-0 when leading after seven, and 18-0 entering the ninth with the lead.
Who's on First
The April 14th start at first base by sophomore Landon Lucansky marks the first time since 2005 that Creighton Baseball's had two players make multiple starts at 1B in same year. Lucansky has been pressed into action due to starter, freshman Reagan Fowler, suffering a concussion in a collision at first on Friday, April 12.
Starts at 1B since 2006
2006: Darin Ruf - 52
2007: Darin Ruf - 61

McKewon has also drawn four walks and been hit three times during this stretch. Hitting 80 points better than last season, the key has been improved plate discipline, had 21 walks and 40 Ks in 176 AB. This year, 13 BB and 13 Ks in 110 AB.
Coming into Focus
Since returning from a concussion on April 5, junior Federico Castagnini is hitting .444 (12-for-27) with seven RBI & six runs scored.

Japanese actor Shoei first made his name by appearing in super sentai (Power Rangers) show Seijuu Sentai Gingaman, which was localized into Power Rangers Lost Galaxy in the West.
However, his internet fame didn't explode until 2011, after he appeared on the cover of TV Bros magazine, tears streaming down his face.
After that, Shoei's crying or sad face was Photoshopped onto countless images, with the meme being "Shoei crying while doing something."
That then morphed into Photoshops of Shoei's smiling face tacked on to images—seemingly only to set up the crying image as a punch line.
One Japanese Twitter user brought the Shoei meme to Resident Evil, turning Chris Redfield into a happy Shoei, and then...a very sad Shoei.
In some ways, this is Japan's equivalent of the sad Keanu meme.
