Comments about Nady PTS1015 2-Way 15" Speaker:
You can't beat it for the price, great looks, great sound, crisp highs, thundering lows, inexpensive, what more can I say? Buy these speakers, I love them.
Great sound, crisp highs, rumbling lows, looks great.
This speaker has a great sound quality for the price. We use it with another one matching it,and 2 other wedges, for a total of 4 for our mains, and can play pretty big events with ease.
Really worth the money, are they the best out there? No, but for the money, they're great..
Comments about Nady PTS1015 2-Way 15" Speaker:
I bought these from a friend along with some other stuff to use as a small practice PA for my band. They do the trick. Of course jsut as everyone else has stated the peizos crap out really easy.
Comments about Nady PTS1015 2-Way 15" Speaker:
I bought these speakers planning to beat them up doing sound for a local band. The crossovers crapped out, so I did an upgrade from piezos to a compression horn (w/h-d x-over). Now they rock almighty! This cab was a good deal for the box and woofer anyway (watch the stand sockets- I had to put longer screws in to anchor properly) and did a decent job even with the piezos. In my situation they ended up costing about the same as the comparable Peavey model, but if you don't fry the crossover, then these are a fair deal.
Comments about Nady PTS1015 2-Way 15" Speaker:
The sound wasn't bad, but the constant down time didn't make these cost effective for me. We use them in live performances and constantly blowing the horn drivers. Nady offers an updated horn driver which I strongly recommend. Nady customer support is great!!! They will get you the parts you need.
Comments about Nady PTS1015 2-Way 15" Speaker:
I purchased a pair of these A month ago. I needed something small for practicing in a small area. These speakers did the trick. They sound great for vocals. I was impressed.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
When Helper and Mont Harmon match up, it's hard to tell what will happen.
Throughout the football season, Mont Harmon has dominated their opponents. Going undefeated they were poised for another title knowing they only needed to get there by beating a tough Helper squad.
The two teams had faced off earlier in the season with Mont Harmon winning decisively. Helper had only that loss to keep them from an undefeated season.
In the closest game of their season for the Pirates, the Mont Harmon boys defeated the Rams on a rainy Wednesday night by the score of 36-22 on Carbon High's field.
Both teams knew it would be a physical game. Mont Harmon Coach Tim Tiller had no doubt that Helper Coach Phil Howa would have his team ready.
But despite the loss that evening, Howa was pleased with his team.
"They didn't leave anything on the field," he said.
He had challenged his team to pick it up a notch and they did, from the starters to the subs, everyone put it on the line.
"I am honored to coach the kids from Helper." He declared "They never quit."
Tiller was also proud of his team. He wanted them all to know how impressed he was with each of them. He was especially complimentary of his young players.
"If it wasn't for them coming together as well as they did, we wouldn't have had the team we did," he stated.
He also wanted to point out the great rushing game that Andrew Salazar had. The Pirate had a whooping 368 total yards on the night.
Mont Harmon has held the Castle Valley Athletic Association championship title for 17 straight years now.
Tiller and Howa each complimented each others team and the season they had.
The ninth graders from both teams will now combine for one final game. The newly formed squad will take on the Uintah High School freshman squad tonight (Tuesday) at the Carbon High field.
Game time is at 7 p.m.

Rabbit's Foot Meadery produces award winning mead - honey wine, Cysers (hard apple & honey ciders) and our famous braggot. Our recipes and methods have been perfected over a period of more than fifteen years and combine the latest in fermentation technology with historical recipes to create unique mead - honey wine in a style that is like no other. All of our mead, cysers, dessert mead and braggots (honey ales,) are produced using the finest honey available.
Our braggots are styled after many traditional ales but with a major twist - there is lots of honey added during fermentation. Sometimes up to 50% of the fermentable sugar. In many cases while they are modeled after more traditional styles, they are unique and stand on their own. Typically lower in hop aroma and bitterness to allow the honey to shine they are still quite enjoyable.
Our meads include our signature 'Melia', an exceptional dessert mead produced from a single bloom of orange blossom honey. Our Apple Cyser, a hard apple and honey cider our classic dry mead and our sweet Wildflower honey mead.
We are also proud to be the first and original producer in the world to make a strong mead similar to port, our Grand Reserve, "The Mead of Poetry", which makes the perfect after-dinner drink. Aged in oak for as long as seven years and hopefully up to ten and fifteen years there is nothing like it.
All of our products have received numerous awards both nationally as well as internationally.
Whichever product you choose our commitment to you is to use only the finest honey from around the world, pure water, and the proper yeast to create our 'Classic Mead'.
If you are looking for information about mead, honey wine or are looking for details on how to make mead we would love to hear from you so send us an email. We are available to discuss mead and other historical alcoholic beverages too. Just drop us an email. You can always join the mead lovers digest to get more information from a great bunch of home mead makers.
Please check out our Facebook or Yelp pages for opening times as they vary by season.

Himanshu Soni to play Buddha
Over the last few weeks, Zee TV and Spice Studio's historical magnum opus 'Buddha' has beautifully captured the early life of Prince Siddharth and attempted to answer some of the questions people may have about the young man who went on to become one of the world's greatest spiritual leaders.
However, information about the young actor playing the role of the grown up Prince Siddharth was kept strictly under wraps!
Now, as the show gets ready to delve into the life of Prince Siddharth as he matured into a fine, young man, the time has come to reveal the actor who has been chosen to play this coveted role.
After much contemplation and a global search that has spanned several countries, Zee TV and Spice Studios has found their perfect Prince Siddharth in budding actor Himanshu.
With such microscopic attention to detail that went into the casting process, it was not an easy task to zero in on an actor who met most of the characteristics and qualities that the producers were looking for in Buddha.
After going through almost a thousand actor profiles, a young budding actor from Jaipur was finally selected for the role.
The elaborate casting process was but the tip of the iceberg when it came to getting into the character of Buddha. After being cast, Himanshu underwent extensive creative sessions with both the producer and director to understand every nuance of the character and demeanor of Prince Siddharth.
To understand the mindscape and tranquility of Buddha's temperament, the actor was even given a quiet apartment to help him meditate and remain peaceful while preparing for the role.
Himanshu Soni and Kajal Jain who play the role of Prince Siddharth and Yashodhara in Zee TV's Buddha at the media reveal of the actors
While a serene temperament played a huge part in the preparation process, rigorous physical training was also required and included intensive fitness training, yoga sessions, martial arts and horse riding. Post all of his preparation for the role, Himanshu continues to work out on the sets to maintain his chiseled physique.
The actor has lost around 15 kgs to get the contoured physique that is seen onscreen.
When asked about the decision of choosing Himanshu as the lead, Dr. B.K Modi, Chairman, Spice Studios said, "We auditioned scores of actors, both seasoned and newcomers, but Himanshu fit the character's description like a glove. Out of the 32 characteristics of Buddha, Himanshu met 28 of those. His down to earth and likeable persona was key for the character's successful portrayal.
"We put him through rigorous training for martial arts, tai chi, dialogue delivery, acting amongst several others to mold him into Prince Siddhrarth's role and he's come out polished, shinning like a prince."
It is known that the show was initially supposed to be made into a film with filmmakers Shekhar Kapur and Ashutosh Gowariker heading the research and script development.
However, the project had to be shelved as the makers weren't able to find the right actor to play the role of Buddha.
While Hollywood heartthrob Orlando Bloom was Shekhar Kapur's initial choice, the search for the perfect Buddha was expanded globally with countless actors aspiring to bag the role of Buddha.
Newcomer Himanshu said, "It is an honour to play a character as significant and important as Buddha. I have undergone rigorous fitness training, yoga and martial arts sessions, each of which made it easier for me to understand the body language and the depth of the character and persona of Prince Siddharth as well as his journey to becoming Buddha.
"The faith that the producers and the channel have shown in me is monumental and I hope I have done justice to the part."

Three Shooters, One Brand of Radio Trigger
Zack Arias and Joey L. shoot it out at the GPP 2011.
Last year's shootout with Joey L., Zack Arias and David Hobby generated a tremendous amount of PR, and everyone was curious how Joey L. was going to top his performance. Would he be equally or even more outrageous this year? Would there be surprises? Would he shoot it seriously? Who would the audience choose as winner? Watch the video to find out the answers to these and other questions.
What really makes this video worth watching is portrait great Gregory Heisler jumping into the mix, which ramps up the competition into a three-way race. All shooters relied on PocketWizard technology to make their shots happen in the brief time they were permitted in front of a live audience.
After this year's shoot, Arias wrote a blog post about his thought process. Check it out for greater insight to the entire event.

Yeah! Another album added in my portfolio ^^ Still remember I attended the Photography Workshop earlier? [click for history] It's really useful and this time off I'm using fully Manual mode shooting all the way in this family portraiture......
While I'm still compiling the rest of photos, I would like to share the portraiture for the 2 lil family members from Kyo's family first. Let's meet with the handsome JoJo and cute Teddy boy ^^
JoJo - his nickname at home "Old Dog"...hehe!
Although he is already 14 years old but he still looks cute, handsome and energetic, not bad huh!
Handsome boy with a cute tie on him ^^
Next we have the Teddy boy - only 2 years old this year.....

JoJo and Teddy
"Hello" from JoJo~
"Hi" from Teddy~
Happy Family
It's my first time to explore on pet photography. It's not easy, especially I am the one who are not familiar in handling dogs. It's been a really good experience in exploring the shooting partnership with animal, for sure there are lots more to learn and catch-up on the upcoming pet photography assignment! One thing that I could really feel it deeply during the whole shooting session - it's FUN!
Till then, stay tuned for the upcoming Kyo's Family Portraiture. Ciao~

Read: The Sabres Don't Want To Meet The Owners, Marc Staal Is Okay With It
According to Bill Hoppe of the Times Herald, the Buffalo Sabres players aren't interested in having a meeting with the owners.
Tomas Vanek said "They have a guy in place in Gary. They pay him. We have a guy in place in Don. That should be good enough. I think just another PR stunt to show that they're trying to do anything."
Jordan Leopold said that he wants no part of it and while Jason Pominville isn't all for the idea but is willing to try it to see if it will help.
Marc Staal told Pat Leonard that he didn't see the downside to having this meeting, "I think that it's not going to have any negative impact on the negotiations if we decide to do it. I think any new blood in the room will help, get some high profile players & big market owners in there and see where it goes."

The popular unlocked Motorola Droid (Bionic) has finally lost its FCC confidentiality. A number of pictures and information, along with a user manual for the device have been made available recently to the public, following another FCC leak. the league of the manual is something that the FCC has tried to avoid in recent times, but has been unable to do with a number of different devices. The specs for the device that make it very telling about what consumers can come to expect and will feature the 4G LTE, along with the 4.3 inch touchscreen device in a rear facing camera is able to take 1080 P quality photos.
The device is one that has had very little information about elite, and continues to garner a lot of press from various popular tech publications. It will be interesting to see if the device is able to garner a large following in the same way that other Droids have. There are a bunch of familiar devices out there that are in many ways similar to this one, with a few noticeable differences. Some of the noticeable differences are the specs that are involved with this device, as well as the ability to share web top docs and accessories. It is clear that the Droid Bionic is a device that is going in a little bit different direction than is normal for the company.
Although it is not going to be one of the larger releases from the company this year, it is going to be a large device that is going to help the company to gain a larger following. It is no surprise that the images leaked, as many devices have had images of them leaked from various sources with inside the FCC. It will be interesting to see if they take more care with the leaking of these materials from now on, after so many devices have had information about them leaked onto the Internet.

Hasheem Thabeet wants nothing more than to forget about the past and focus on the present.
Can't blame him for that.
The first three seasons of his NBA career were rough. Three teams. Four coaches. Lots of struggles.
Hasheem Thabeet wants nothing more than to forget about the past and focus on the present.
Can't blame him for that.
The first three seasons of his NBA career were rough. Three teams. Four coaches. Lots of struggles.
Which means that this season with the Thunder already qualifies as a success. As the reserve big man prepares to face Memphis, the team that drafted him, he is flirting with career bests in points, rebounds, minutes and field goal percentage in his first season in Oklahoma City.
He's already at a career high in happiness.
"I love doing what I'm doing," Thabeet said as he sat courtside at the Thunder practice facility Wednesday. "Every time I get to come out here, I love it."
The Thunder has to feel pretty good about him, too. Signed to a two-year deal that will cost the team less than a million dollars a season, Thabeet has more than adequately filled the void left by the departures of Nazr Mohammed and Cole Aldrich. This was a team that needed a backup big man, and the 7-foot-3 center has been huge.
He's averaging a modest 2.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 11.6 minutes a game, but those numbers are almost double any of his other seasons.
"He's a different person since he's been there," his agent Ugo Udezue said. "I don't know what Scott Brooks and the organization has done, but he's been a totally different person."
So, what has the Thunder done?
Why is Thabeet starting to scratch the surface on the talent that made him the No. 2 overall pick in the 2009 draft?
For starters, the Thunder didn't saddle him with all the expectations that normally come with being the No. 2 pick. The team didn't expect him to be a game changer or even a finished product.
"We're going to put him in a situation to succeed," Udezue remembers Brooks and Thunder general manager Sam Presti saying when they expressed interest in acquiring Thabeet last summer. "We're not going to put him in a situation where he has to do too much."
That hasn't always been the case.
From the beginning in Memphis, expectations were sky high for Thabeet. He was drafted behind only Blake Griffin and ahead of the likes of James Harden, Tyreke Evans and Stephen Curry. And as those guys excelled in their rookie seasons, the pressure built on Thabeet.
He played quite a bit early for the Grizzlies, even started several ballgames, but he struggled. There were quick fouls. There were bad turnovers. There were painful sequences.
The Grizzlies worked with him, having him catch tennis balls to try and improve his hand-eye coordination. But by February of his rookie season, Thabeet was struggling so badly that the Grizzlies sent him to the D-League.
He tore it up, frankly, but that dominate play didn't translate once he returned to the Grizzlies.
By his second season in Memphis, fans stood and booed when he checked into games.
His positive attitude, particularly in his all-capital-letters Twitter posts, only made things worse. It angered fans even more. They saw him playing badly, and yet, everything he said was good and happy.
Before the trade deadline, Memphis shipped him to Houston.
Rick Adelman, then the Rockets coach, seemed to have no use for Thabeet. That feeling didn't change much when Kevin McHale took over as coach before the next season.

|Mayor Responds to County on old WHS
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 05 April 2013 15:50
Boone Mayor Loretta Clawson responded to Watauga Commission chair Nathan Miller's agreement to meet with town officials over the ongoing disagreement between the town and county over the old Watauga High property, affected by the town's new 'Affordable Housing' standards. In her release Friday afternoon,
she said, " We appreciate Chairman Miller's response to our offer to mediate as-of-yet unidentified problems in the sale of the old high school property. The Town of Boone is interested in a solution to any problem, not a circus. Our offer stands to enter into mediation with the County. Once it is determined what, if any, specific changes should be considered in our ordinance to assist in the sale, there will be a full and open public hearing for all to weigh in on any proposed solution." County Manager Deron Geouque wrote the town yesterday with several meeting options, working around town and county meetings slated for the last half of the month.

This luxurious dessert showcases one of my favorite chocolates, Valrhona's Grand Cru Manjari Dark chocolate. This ultra-premium 64% cacao chocolate is made of Criollo and Trinitario cacao beans from Madagascar. It is highly aromatic with a distinctive chocolate flavor and an intense bouquet of red berries. Even though can use another premium dark chocolate, I really suggest you to try the Manjari—you'll taste the difference. Look for Valrhona in gourmet and specialty food stores.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Gently toss bread cubes and chocolate in melted butter and place in 2-quart ceramic or glass baking dish. Set aside.
Combine eggs through brandy and whisk together until incorporated. Set aside.
Heat milk, cream and vanilla bean until scalding. Remove vanilla bean from the mixture.
Pour about a quarter of the hot mixture into the egg mixture and gently stir to temper.
Add remaining hot mixture and stir until combined.
Pour egg/hot mixture over bread and chocolate.
Bake in water bath for 20-30 minutes, being careful not to over-bake. The finished pudding will feel firm to the touch and a knife will come out clean.
Spoon warm pudding into bowls and garnish with a dollop of crème fraîche and a drizzle of Burnt Caramel Sauce.
1 1/2 cups Valrhona Manjari chocolate, coarsely chopped.
6 cups day old bread, lightly toasted and cut into 1-inch cubes. Use a country loaf, Ciabatta, or French baguette
4 teaspoons butter, melted
7 extra-large eggs
5 extra-large egg yolks
1 cup granulated cane sugar
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 ounce brandy

Refraction and Diffraction
Refraction and diffraction sure sound the same, so why are they so different? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby teach you the similarities and differences between the two processes. For instance, you'll see why both are properties of waves! You'll learn about light waves and photons, and how they can bend when moving through different materials. Find out how the speed of light can change when moving through objects with different densities, like air, water, or glass. And discover how light, sound, and radio waves can bend or spread around an obstacle, plus how scientists use diffraction to study everything from DNA to stars in outer space! We're talking about the wave of the future, here!

Dr. Henry S. Mellen's Ratings
Henry Mellen probably saved my life. He worked with me over 2+ years on sexual addiction issues but gave me so much more understanding about myself. He would listen to me ramble on for 30 minutes or so and then make connections with everything else I have ever told him, showing me an amazing analysis of me, my birth family, my -ex, my children, my work. Henry is compassionate and supportive but will give concrete opinions unless it's something you need to figure out yourself. He taught me much about the differences between the genders and what it means to be a man. He is well grounded in the 12 steps and I found working with him to be a powerful combination with step work. He points out the connections and also the areas where they diverge. I have had several therapists (mainly for depression) but I have never looked forward to an appointment like I did with Henry - even if I knew the work would be difficult.

28 U.S. Code § 2283 - Stay of State court proceedings
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 968.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 379 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 265,36 Stat. 1162).
An exception as to acts of Congress relating to bankruptcy was omitted and the general exception substituted to cover all exceptions.
The phrase "in aid of its jurisdiction" was added to conform to section 1651 of this title and to make clear the recognized power of the Federal courts to stay proceedings in State cases removed to the district courts.
The exceptions specifically include the words "to protect or "effectuate its judgments," for lack of which the Supreme Court held that the Federal courts are without power to enjoin relitigation of cases and controversies fully adjudicated by such courts. (See Toucey v. New York Life Insurance Co., 62 S.Ct. 139, 314 U.S. 118, 86 L.Ed. 100. A vigorous dissenting opinion (62 S.Ct. 148) notes that at the time of the 1911 revision of the Judicial Code, the power of the courts, of the United States to protect their judgments was unquestioned and that the revisers of that code noted no change and Congress intended no change).
Therefore the revised section restores the basic law as generally understood and interpreted prior to the Toucey decision.
Changes were made in phraseology.

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. With that quote from Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy owns one of the more pointed observations of family life. I wonder if Hadji Murad has similar brilliance:
Hadji Murat, one of the most feared and venerated mountain chiefs in the Chechen struggle against the Russians, defects from the Muslim rebels after feuding with his ruling Imam, Shamil. Hoping to protect his family, he joins the Russians, who accept him but never put their trust in him – and so Murat must find another way to end the struggle.
Could be interesting. . .

Here's a familiar story: Seventy-five years ago today, households across across America were crouched around the family radio set, listening to what many of them believed were true reports about a Martian invasion of earth. They were actually tuned in to a radio drama, the War of The Worlds, performed by Orson Welles' Mercury Theater. Mass panic ensued - or did it? Tom Porter reports on a University of Maine professor who looked back in time to find out what really happened.
Excerpt from the 1938 broadcast: "We are bringing you an eyewitness account of what's happening on the Wilmoth farm, Grovers' Mill New Jersey."
Americans glued to their radios were, of course, tuned in to the Columbia Broadcasting System's presentation of War of The Worlds by Orson Welles' Mercury Theater on the Air - an all-too believable adaption, it seems, of H.G. Wells's science fiction novel about unfriendly aliens from Mars coming to earth and killing lots of people.
Excerpt from 1938 broadcast: 'Wait a minute, something's happening, some shape is rising out of the pit, I can make out a small beam of light against a mirror."
Mass panic followed the broadcast, and upwards of a million people were convinced the Martians were here - many of them taking to the streets to flee the invaders.
There's just one problem with this version of events - it's not true, says University of Maine Journalism Professor Michael Socolow. "There weren't mobs on the streets," he says. "People didn't get hurt, there weren't any reports from hospital room admissions, things like that didn't happen."
Drawing on past and original research, Socolow has co-written an article that takes issue with the whole "mass hysteria" story that grew out of that now infamous broadcast. For a start, he says, there were far fewer people listening to the play than is commonly thought.
"The commercial ratings system did release to Broadcasting Magazine a summary of the ratings that night, and 98 percent of the 5,000 people that called during the broadcast either were not listening to radio, or were not listening to War of the Worlds."
And that 98 percent not listening, he says, would have included all of New England: That's because the Yankee Network, broadcasting to the region from Boston, did not even air War of the Worlds, choosing to broadcast a commercial program instead. Furthermore, of the 2 percent who were listening, says Socolow, none mistook the play for a real news program.
So why the perception of hysteria? Why were newspapers running headlines like "Martian Invasion" and "Terror from the Skies?" Socolow says we can blame the newspapers themselves, who were desperate to discredit the relatively new medium of radio as a credible and responsible news source.
"The newspapers at the time didn't like radio," he says. "They were in a fierce competition of survival - economic and political survival - between 1936 and World War II, and this was a terrific opportunity for the newspapers to attack radio as a credible news source. So they did."
They sensationalized reports and rumors of panic, he says, which didn't really happen. Socolow says another culprit in the perpetuation of this myth is the human psyche itself. He talks of a "collective false memory syndrome," in which people convince themselves they have experienced something which they have not.
Socolow cites a more recent example of how it might work. "If we were to ask 100 Americans right now, did they see the plane fly into the World Trade Center on television when it happened on 9/11, I think you would get a very, very large percentage saying they saw it, OK? But it actually occurred at - what? - 9:48 a.m. on that day, and we know not that many people were watching live television at 9:48 on that day."
Seventy-five years on, Socolow says there are lessons to be learned from the way America responded to the War of the Worlds broadcast - including what it tells us about the power of the media..
"I think the newspaper sensationalism tells more about the power of the media to shape false memories than the actual broadcast tells us about the power of the media to make people panic."
Excerpt from 1938 broadcast: "We have dispatched a special mobile unit to the scene, and will have our commentator Carl Philips give you a word picture of the scene as soon as he can reach there from Princeton. In the meantime, we take you to the Hotel Martinette in Brookyln, where Bobby Millette and his orchestra are offering a program of dance music."

Hi all
Just like to share my experience with you on wireless networking. The info maybe useful to some, and useless to others. I bought a d-link DWL-900AP+ access point and a netgear MA401 wireless network card.
I've read the problems people have had including myself. I've got it working on one distro and looking to get it working on other too. I have test hardive for my dell inspiron laptop, with win98 and redhat 9.0.
Redhat detects the card, which fine, but you have to make changes in the /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts. This info can be found on the net.
Also the /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcgf-eth0. Once changes has been made to those files. Drop the the network card ifconfig eth0 down, then bring it up again and ifconfig eth0 up, and you find the little light will have stopped flashing. Then you can start to surf the web. All i can say I've been at this for two weeks and finally got it working, through persiverance. Please note I did not use the wlan-ng drivers at all.
I hope this will be of use to someone then again it may not. But I felt I had to share this. I'll be working on mandrake distro next. I'll post in that forum when I have it done. Please also note I'm using wep and the connection is very fast with it on.
thats it folks

With the new Golden Plains Community Hospital set to open, a certificate commemorating the occasion is set to be accepted this evening by the Hutchinson County Hospital District Board of Directors.
The board will meet at 7:30 p.m. this evening in the GPCH executive board room.
A certificate of substantial completion will be accepted and signed during the meeting.
(Editor's Note: In honor of Oct. 2-8 being National 4-H Week, the Hutchinson County 4-H will be running a series of articles throughout this week's editions of the Borger News-Herald.)
For more than 104 years, the 4-H Program of Texas has been engaging youth in activities that help develop skills for a lifetime. These skills range from communication to community service and from goal setting to leadership. Regardless of the skill learned, the benefits gathered from a young person participating in the 4-H Program is priceless.
WOODROW-A slow start and turnovers proved to maKe the difference in an otherwise evenly fought contest between the Borger Bulldogs and Monahans Lobos on Friday night.
Two Lobo touchdowns in the first quarter and three Bulldog turnovers, which killed promising drives, allowed Monahans to get the 21-7 win at Lubbock Cooper Pirate Stadium, to improve to 5-1 while Borger drops to 2-4.
On the opening kickoff, the Lobos took the ball 52 yards to set up their first drive at the Bulldogs 32 yard line.
On Friday night, the Sanford-Fritch Eagles played tough and moved the ball up and down Eagle Field to beat the Floydada Whirlwinds 47-19.
The West Texas Comanches improved their season record to 5-1 with a 42-7 win over the Claude Mustangs. Claude had only lost once until last night, but the Comanches left little doubt that they were in charge of the game. The Mustangs have a huge line but WT had an answer for that with the likes of big Ty Lay, Austin Ivy, Dylan Ewing, and Shane Keasler. The Comanche offense again put up big numbers behind their offensive line with 541 total offensive yards, 441 were on the ground.
(Editor's Note: In honor of Oct. 2-8 being National 4-H Week, the Hutchinson County 4-H will be running a series of articles throughout this week's editions of the Borger News-Herald.)
On Monday, September 26th, the Hutchinson County Commissioner's court signed a proclamation officially recognizing October 2-8, 2011 as National 4-H Week in Hutchinson County.

Students got down to business Friday for Jefferson Community Colleges eighth annual Entrepreneurship Day, also known as E-Day.
About 100 teenagers from local high schools came to the college to compete for the best business concept and learn business practices from successful local entrepreneurs.
We do this every year to allow students to bring their concepts forward, said Dawn M. Robinson, JCC instructor of business. Its an opportunity to let their entrepreneurial skills unleash.
Teams from Watertown, Indian River Central and Edward-Knox Central high schools competed for the top three spots. Additionally, students from Copenhagen Central and Lowville Academy high schools also attended to watch the presentations and receive business advice from Johnny Spezzano, owner of Yo-Johnny Frozen Yogurt, and Jay M. Matteson, Jefferson County agricultural coordinator. Other successful area businesses, such as Old McDonalds Farm in Sackets Harbor and Coyote Moon Vineyards of Clayton, had tables set up for a business networking expo in the McVean Student Center lounge so students could pick their brains for tried-and-true business practices.
Because these are high school students, we wanted to have an additional kick in there, said Vidhi V. Udeshi, 19-year-old JCC student and president of the business club.
During his presentation, Mr. Spezzano discussed the importance of advertising when starting a new business.
Theres a lot of risk, but theres a lot of reward, he said.
Spending money on advertising is just as important as choosing the right location, he stressed.
Watertown seniors Bernet Abaibekova and Tian Chen won first place with their concept for local foreign language courses. The two are foreign exchange students.
A lot of Americans are trying to learn a second language, Tian said. She said that online courses are difficult to learn other languages with.
Bernet said presenting the concept was more than just having a great business idea.
You have to know how to do public speaking and practice the presentation, she said.
Indian River students came in second with Shape It Up, an effort to bring the gym to the clients home. Edward-Knox students came in third with another fitness concept: HKH Health and Fitness Center.
During the morning presentations, students had to show the judges their anticipated expenses for the first year of business, how much staff is necessary to run the business and any possible area competitors, among other factors.
Indian River seniors Larinna E. Hartwick and Morgan M. Nabywaniec came to watch fellow classmates present their business concept, Shape It Up.
I learned there are different ways to open a business, said Morgan, who takes a team business class at her school. I learned about how they work and how important location is.
