I have seen Franco's addition of a center rear strut used on the Contrail and tried playing with different height's of center strut and found that one as tall as 18 inches or so tightly guyed out allowed for a firmer and taller ridge line allowing for more interior heigth and better ridgeline retention (especially when pulled against a front ridgeline guyout) and wondered if anybody sees a structural problem using this taller strut.Also can Mr. Shires make a taller strut or is there an easy way to fabricate one hopefully with a hole in it to run the guyout cord through to attatch it to the guyout loop on the tent so it doesn't end up coming loose and putting a hole in the tent?
Hi MikeWhat I use is a pole section with a pole tip reversed . The one I have is similar to this one :http://www.questoutfitters.com/tent_poles.htm#TENT%20POLESso the guyline is threaded trough it and remains attached to it. When setting the strut up I simply insert the tip into the pole.Franco
Here's a photo taken this afternoon of a Contrail with an 18" carbon fiber strut in a sleeve and a 30" guyline. Weight of the assembly is 0.6 ounces and it does add quite a bit of stability along with increased height over your foot area. We're going to offer this as a Contrail option starting in 2011.-H

I've fiddle with my Contrail many times. A good option indeed. Geez, if I could get my contrail as spiffed taut as his.......... Well, here's to tryin'!
Thanks for the prompt replies you guys are always around when we need something.I had a hard time with the skin-tight pitch till using the front AND rear guyouts to pull against each other and now the pitch is much easier to get tight front-to-back along the ridgeline and really makes it a breeze to get it pitched solid.
Edwardtake a look at how I do it :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n38trYmHBdkthis also shows the center rear strut in use.Franco
The photo in this post appears to give alot of extra height near the foot and the poster shows it as being 22 inches tall which may only be good in fair weather.Is there a light adjustable pole say from 16 to 22 inches that may adjust according to conditions?http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=8055

Mike,For this type of application for a carbon fiber strut, I use a carbon fiber arrow nock. For the other end of the strut that will sit on the ground, I cut and buff a nock to a rounded shape. Sam Farrington
MikeI would go along with Henry's suggestion, that is 18".Franco
Contact an archery range or even an archery store. Get a discard aluminum (or carbon fiber) arrow, complete with intact nock tip and front end ferrule where the point screws in. If the shaft is bent or broken you may have to heat the nock &/or ferrule in boiling water to release the glue and cut the shaft to the correct ltngth. Use the same kind of glue to reattatch the ferrule on the shortened shaft.Try to get the largest diameter shaft you can for greater strength.Shorten the shaft to 18" with a small pipe cutter or have an archery shop cut it for you with their nifty power cutters. When using the arrow shaft tent pole just run the guy line through the nock's string groove.Before good, light tent stakes came along I used aluminum arrow shafts and ferrules for tent stakes. I removed the plastic nocks to expose the pointed shaft back end, cut the other end of the shaft to length and re-glued the ferrule. Then I screwed on an aluminum screen door tab into the ferrul as the stake's top end to retain the guy cord. LUCKILY the thread on the aluminum screws of the screen door tabs was the same as the ferrules' thread! I couldn't believe my luck.

If you use / carry a Hane tenkara rod you could figure out a good way to use this. The Hane collapses to 18" and if being carried anyway it could be used as a center strut for a Contrail. Just thinking outside the box, it's fine to laugh (at me).
Edited by thomdarrah on 09/18/2010 02:43:20 MDT.
Hane rod. And why not ?can be a stick, the other trekking pole, whatever you can think of.I just use the strut because for the 15g (1/2 oz) I know that is there.Franco
Thanks for the link. I set it up about ten more times and now I have it much more secure. I always seemed to have one side of the flatter rear roof plane bow in more than the other. Its about equal now. I'll probably always be fiddling with it. My neighbor just rolls her eyes every time she sees me messing with it in front of my house
The easiest mistake to make is not to have the front and rear parallel to each other. Take a good look at this:http://www.tarptent.com/contrail_2.htmlonce you memorise that top view it will be easier to remember how to do it.BTW I have one or two tents up in my backyard every few days... The neighbours know that I am a bit "different"Franco
Franco - thanks for the link to your video. I watched all of the others you did related to the Contrail, too, and thought they were very helpful.
Thank you for that. One day I may just add English subtitles...(sadly I have a strong accent in Italian too)Franco
Franco,There are a bunch of us out here that appreciate your videos and insight. No subtitles needed. ;-)You were the impetus for my first Tarptent purchase, the Contrail. Still use it, still love it.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Fayette County judge has ruled a former Kentucky lawmaker who admitted killing his former fiancee can look over some of the evidence in the case.
Circuit Judge Pamela Goodwine said she couldn't find a reason to stop Steve Nunn from looking at six sealed boxes of evidence.
Court documents said that evidence includes pictures of the victim, Amanda Ross, along with letters and autopsy pictures.
According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, The Fayette commonwealth's attorney's office filed a motion on Friday to ask Judge Goodwine to block Nunn from having access to some of the evidence including the pictures of the victim.
Nunn is scheduled to be in court May 31 to pick up the evidence.

Legacy Club
Webster Dictionary says Legacy is "something handed down from one who has gone before."
Our Mission: to equip next generation leaders through training in evangelism, discipleship, outreach and missions.
Our Vision: To equip the next generation of leaders in the areas of ethics and morality and teaching them lessons in leadership, character and integrity from a Christian perspective.
Our Vision 2: is to see our trained leaders take on future roles of leadership and skillfully handle their faith in Jesus Christ and Scripture leaving a legacy wherever they go.
Where do we form Legacy Clubs?
The majority of Legacy clubs are formed in our public high schools. We also have clubs in private schools. Students that take on leadership form these clubs. Each school has a sponsor schoolteacher that helps organize and form the leadership team.
When do they meet?
There is a call to anyone who answers to be a leader in his or her school. They are interviewed and given the rules of leadership.
This leadership meets at least twice a month to study the Scriptures. These meeting can take place during school hours or after school. Once a month this leadership group organizes an outreach meeting for all other club members during club day.
Where do the clubs meet?
In school during club day. Sometimes after school in the sponsors room. At night at someone's home.
What kind of things do we teach in our meetings?
Our meetings center around major themes found in the Bible, the inspired Word of God. The life and teachings of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, major doctrines, the character and attributes of God, how to love God and how to love other people, and salvation so our sins can be forgiven. We study the Bible in school!
What do the outreach meetings look like?
These meetings focus is to reach other students for Christ. Some meetings have student worship bands, student led with testimonies and messages from the students. Occasionally we would bring in a special speaker. The things that the leaders have learned they put into practice.
Some final thoughts on leaving a Legacy.
"Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but also in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day."
Billy Graham quote

Beginning in January of this year, America began a yearlong celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. With his signature, President Abraham Lincoln freed slaves in America. However, there are still slaves in America and throughout the world, and the situation is getting worse.
Exact numbers are impossible to calculate, but in 2009, the International Labour Organization estimated that there were as many as 27 million slaves being held captive in virtually every nation on earth.

|In vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer for bilateral salpingectomies results in a ruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancy due to a tubal stump fistula: a case report and review of the literature.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22736389 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Ectopic pregnancy is a leading cause of maternal mortality. A high index of suspicion of an ectopic pregnancy must be borne in mind, especially when a woman of reproductive age presents to the emergency department with abdominal pain and a positive pregnancy test. An ectopic pregnancy can occur in unusual sites, particularly when assisted reproductive techniques have been used. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube (so-called tubal pregnancies), but implantation can also occur in the uterine cornua, cervix, ovaries, and abdomen, including the retroperitoneum. We present only the second reported case of ovarian ectopic pregnancy in a 37-year-old woman following an in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer for bilateral salpingectomies.

Miss Ada Lawrence, the star with (he Anderson Co., at His Majesty's, is a soft-eyed little lady with a good stock of natural talent and earnest- ness. Is a marvellous study, as she carries in her pretty little noddle the script of nearly seventy dramas. Broke all records once by assuming fifteen lady characters in as many nights. Played Eve in Father Duff's "The Two Worlds" over in Ballarat, and con- sidering the fact that she was "sup-
ported" by an Adam, with a hiccough and a protruding bingey, she did re- markably well in the character of the World's First Flossie. Since that
awful drama Miss Lawrence has de- voted her talents to depicting the wronged wife, who, in a garret, re-
jects the villain who offers to buy her prop. diamonds and sealskin jac- kets made from Boodlekine rabbits.

Experts Rumor Update: Leafs Want Kovalev(Almost did)
I'm just giving an update to the fans that aren't aware of the trade plans the Leafs have this season:The easier plan but also more risky plan, which is was on the mind of GM Quinn, is trade discussions with the Capitals regarding Peter Bondra. The same can be said about left-winger Luc Robitaille. These trade plans would obviously not cost much for the Leafs to acquire but the same cannot be said for the salaries of these veterans. Trade talks for Peter Bondra have cooled in due part of a Caps 14 game point streak.
Now things get a little complicated…
At the early part of the season it was rumored that the Leafs were shopping aggressively for a 2nd-3rd top defensemen, most notably Dimitry Yushkevich. It was also found out in recent weeks with sources reporting the Leafs at that time were also having trade discussions with the Penguins about Alexei Kovalev. Apparently the Pens were/are looking for a mobile defensemen.
The understanding of both situations is that IF the Leafs had acquired that "defensemen" they'd of have been able to complete a trade with the Penguins that would have looked like:
To Penguins: Bryan McCabe, Alyn McCauley, and a draft pick
To Toronto: Alexei Kovalev
The defensemen that the Leafs were said to have been shopping for was supposed to have replaced Bryan McCabe on the blue line, and would have allowed Kovalev to be a Leaf. But then the Panthers received an offer/accepted with the L.A. Kings, McCabe has stepped up his play, and a hot streak came for the Leafs cooling down/killing trade talks…..At that time.
With the return of Roberts in 3 weeks looming, a trade has become an imminent thing to accomplish for the Leafs. A report yesterday on foxsports.com suggested the Leafs have offered prospects for the gifted winger, a pending restricted free agent this summer.
The Fourth Period is also reporting that the Leafs have a plan in motion that would reportedly send promising young defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo and forward Darcy Tucker to the Penguins for Alexei Kovalev. Toronto would love to bring in Kovalev but are reluctant to part with the Toronto native Colaiacovo and are attempting to substitute another young player in his place.

The new feature set addresses the key challenges associated with scaling copper
electroplating to the 22nm technology node. In order to address device reliability
concerns at these advanced geometries, the industry is trending towards the
use of very thin alloy PVD seed layers. While thicker PVD seed layers can cause
copper voiding, thinner seed layers result in increased seed resistance, making
it difficult to achieve the uniform current density required for consistent
feature fill during the initial stages of electrochemical deposition (ECD).
Novellus' IRISCell technology eliminates this issue by employing patented field
shaping elements that enable dynamic current modulation during the deposition
process. Thin PVD seeds also create a challenge for uniform nucleation of the
copper film. To address this problem, SABRE Excel's new plating process, called
Multiwave entry, provides millisecond control of the voltage profile during
the initial stages of copper deposition.
In addition to the hardware advances designed to address thin seed challenges,
the SABRE Excel platform introduces a number of innovative new features targeted
at meeting the defect and yield requirements for 22nm. The propensity for "killer"
defects has been dramatically reduced using a proprietary, low-corrosion electrolyte.
The number of chips per wafer has also been improved by increasing the usable
die area through a reduction of the process edge exclusion to only 1mm.
"We are confident that the SABRE Excel system will serve as the new benchmark
of copper ECD for advanced technology nodes," said Sesha Varadarajan, vice
president and general manager of Novellus' Electrofill business unit. "The
results we have achieved with the new IRISCell and Multiwave entry technologies
have driven several of the industry's leading manufacturers to place orders
for the system with shipments beginning in Q4 of this year."

Gene Loubet, treasurer for the Blackrock Owners Association, explains some of the issues around his neighborhood after Saturday's flood.
- Filed Under
The Blackrock Owners Association is making temporary repairs following Saturday's record-breaking rainfall, which caused damage to Blackrock homes when retaining walls collapsed.
But, members of the homeowners association say a final solution will have to wait until a long-standing lawsuit involving the developer is resolved.
Residents Brady Hunter and Cami Donnelly live together on Pachea Trail and saw a nearly 20-foot tall retention wall fall on the corner of their home, causing minor damage. Hunter and Donnelly say they are concerned the remainder of the wall, which has moved ...

Dearest Reader, I owe you more than mindless Best Buy complaining. My story of woe with them has become more complicated but even I am sick to death of hearing about it. The problem is, however, that I didn't have the most pleasant weekend so all I have are negative things for this entry. You can handle it though, right? You guys are tough, you have the fortitude to take what I can throw at you. If you want something happier, click on "Swistle" in my blogroll – she just became an aunt!
So yes, my weekend. Well, it began when I got off work Friday afternoon and we had plans with a couple old friends to meet for dinner. Then Ash was going to go with them to play cards. Dinner was good. Drew and I chatted about comics and Ash and Jeff prattled on about Street Fighter 4 and so forth. When it was just little E and me, I put him to bed and did NOTHING. Nothing at all and I enjoyed every last moment of it. Well, until my friend called and had to cancel our Saturday road trip due to illness. Everyone is getting sick these days so perhaps it was only a matter of time. Ash and company returned around 1 but were up until 3. From 1 to 3, I couldn't sleep.
As an aside, my Saturday evening plans were already canceled due to babysitter complications. Multiple babysitters but overall, I was OK with not going to dinner because of the money saved.
Saturday morning, Elliot awoke by 7 and was not exactly happy. He has all of his teeth now but some are still trying to push on to their full extent and they HURT. He's drooling, feverish and CRANKY. Jeff and Drew left by 11. Ash was tired and moody. We pretty much didn't do anything except took a nap when Elliot did (oh and he slept 3 HOURS). Ash wanted to be out of town by 6 because he was going to Jacksonville to hang out with Jeff and Drew again. Now in his defense, he and Jeff have been friends since the start of college and Jeff lives in NY so they never get to see each other. But by this time, I was feeling all sorry for myself, what with all my plans going to shit and Ash getting to do whatever he damn well pleased. Which was fine until I couldn't. So heap the lack of social interaction with adults on top of Elliot being a whiny PITA and I was a pissed off mama.
I kept promising myself I'd have a glass of wine when Elliot went to bed. I did, I said I deserved it. So it was about 7 and I went into the fridge but alas, I guess my mom and I finished that bottle the couple of weekends ago that she was here. Sigh.
So I drank a frappucino I had procured after my brief jaunt out that afternoon that I was allowed and put on a movie while I cleaned. Overall, an enjoyable evening. Especially because earlier in the day, I was doing my budget, feeling down about it, but then remembered I had pulled out 40 bucks to go to dinner and pay the babysitter. But since that was out, I squandered 33 of it on comics. I know I know, I should have saved it. But you don't understand – it's a sickness. A compulsion.
Sunday I was on my own until Ash returned around 6 and he was ill. Another round of cold I suppose. Needless to say, my weekend was lackluster; I didn't do a whole lot of fun things and now I am in my office, gathering my thoughts – though I'm a bit fuzzy – and trying to make it through the day, which is actually slipping away from me at an alarming rate. I have only crossed one item off my to-do list! So, what did you do this weekend and what are you doing next weekend? On Friday, we're seeing Watchmen!!

Worldwide poverty grows each year, in proportion to wealth inequality. Concentration of wealth in the hands of the top 1 percent, and corporatization of the wealth of power elites, takes away the economic resources for ordinary Americans.
With 371 billionaires in the U.S., a Christian nation, and more than 2,000 verses of scripture dictating help for the needy and justice, why is there so much effort from Republican Party opposing help for the needy and favoring adoption of policies like tax cuts for the wealthy over last decade? Politicians and pro-business advocacy groups like the Chamber of Commerce should display their sponsors' ads so voters can see who is buying their support and creating inequality.
Republican pro-business profiteering has replaced "The War on Poverty." Seniors born during or post-depression lived in the best of times. Prosperity was spread fairly even across income lines until 1980. These public policies were made predominately by Democrats. These policies helped ordinary people without opposition and attacks from Republicans.
With the Republican Party going extremist, they blame everything on government whose programs had brought prosperity to so many Americans for more than a half century. Republicans legislating for the rich still use the blame game to win elections and have come up with the biggest election scam in past century by gerrymandering congressional districts to suppress the vote count in low-income areas while extending vote count in more affluent Republican districts, taking away the constitutional right of one man, one vote.
Today's Republican scam surpasses historical lies and distortions for the sole purpose of serving the corporations and their wealthy sponsors.

LAS CRUCES >> New Mexico State University officials are upping efforts to retain students while enrollment continues to fall across the school's five campuses.
Just over 74 percent of freshmen on the Las Cruces campus return to NMSU, prompting officials to implement a handful of new efforts to ensure the students make it to graduation. Last semester, 72 percent of freshmen returned, Bernadette Montoya, NMSU vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, told the regents Monday.
NMSU created three new student support positions and is working to better align community college and main campus classes.
Provost Dan Howard has also introduced a new initiative aimed at giving "at risk" students the tools they need graduate, Montoya said.
The university hopes to retain 80 percent of students by 2020.
Discovery Days
Low-income, first-generation college students are especially likely to drop out of college in their first year, Montoya said.
"They have the ability; it's a matter of giving them the tools to be successful," she said.
Officials will invite 300 of those at-risk students to come to campus a week early this August and learn note-taking skills, attend mock lectures and participate in fun evening activities in "Discovery Days," Montoya said.
The hope is the program will give students the tools they need to make it to graduation, while connecting students who face similar challenges.
NMSU has also hired a learning specialist, cross-campus adviser and a financial outreach employee to support students further, Montoya said.
Transfer credits
NMSU officials are also working to align courses between the community colleges and main campus, an effort to eliminate the courses students would have to retake after transferring to the Las Cruces campus.
Many students have reported difficulty transferring credits from community colleges to their bachelor's programs, despite the five campuses all being part of the same NMSU system.
Eighty faculty from the four community colleges and main campus met in January and February to develop a draft of student learning outcomes for 20 courses, Deputy Provost Greg Fant said.
Officials identified 36 courses that all five campuses will offer this fall. They will begin with those common classes, aligning the objectives before turning to classes offered at four campuses, then three campuses and so forth, Fant said.
Most are general education classes.
Enrollment falls
Enrollment is down again across the New Mexico State University system, though not as much as officials initially forecast.
About 26,000 students are enrolled systemwide, a 5 percent drop from last spring, Montoya said.
Enrollment was down 9 percent in December, but phone calls urging students to re-enroll and other efforts turned the tide, Montoya said.
Main campus undergraduate and graduate enrollment fell from spring 2013 to this semester, though the College of Engineering has continued to see steady enrollment, she said.
Enrollment fell at the Alamogordo and Grants campuses as well, though Alamogordo saw an increase in students transferring to the campus, Montoya said.
Student head counts at Doña Ana Community College and NMSU-Carlsbad remained largely unchanged, she said. Dual credit helped keep enrollment steady at the two branches, she said.
The future of the Lottery Scholarship, changing national demographics and proposed changes to main campus admission requirements will affect enrollment in the future, Montoya told the regents.
"We need to be nimble in how we respond to the things we see ahead," she said.
The NMSU Faculty Senate will discuss the proposal to raise admission requirements at 4 p.m. today in the Senate chambers.
2014 spring enrollment
NMSU system-wide: 26,000 students
Main campus undergraduate enrollment: 12,200 students

In the 1920's Leo Carter operated a Texico Service station on the corner of State street and 700 East, in North Morgan. In this station he also stalked some candy items from 1 cent a piece to 5 cents each. At times when you had a penny, nickel or dime, you could find some children visiting Leo's to buy a treat. There were two gas pumps one with regular gas, and the other with Ethel.

There are not too many things worse to have happen to you on vacation than not being able to find a place to stay for the night. You're worn out from a long day of play you need a place to temporarily call home so you can recharge for the next adventure. But what if you couldn't find a place? What if all the hotels were booked and everywhere you looked you only saw NO VACANCY signs with their glaring lights mocking your unpredictable predicament. Looks like the car may be the most comfortable couch, if you have one with you. True, nowadays this rarely happens with up to date hotel reservations, and discounts to seal the deal. But you can imagine being away from home and not having a place to stay. By the way, there is something worse than not finding a room for the night. It's finding a room and having to share it with free-loading, hungry, eight legged creatures ready to welcome you. But that's another story.

When I was a kid, I loved it when anyone in my family went on a trip because there was a chance they would bring back a souvenir for me. Even receiving something simple as a sea shell gave me wonder as I held it up to my ear and imagined I was there on the sandy beach listening to the waves roll in. I hope we never lose our youthful creativity and imagination. It truly is in the small and simple things that great memories are made. Our memories are more precious than anything money can buy. We can buy every thingamajig and whatnots, but still have nothing of value to show for our journey. What are the true treasures of our lives; the ones that can't be stored on a shelf, or eventually sold at a garage sale?

Only 20 recipients received this award, and were picked from online votes of their videos submitted.
A few weeks ago I stressed the importance of unplugging yourself from the world and investing more time in YOU. The thought occurred to me on my journey this week that I omitted some crucial counsel. Learning to enjoy the journey more is not only about what you should unplug from, but rather, what you should plug in to. It sounds so simple that we don't even realize its importance. I was cautioning each of us to stop investing, or rather, wasting our time, talents and treasures in things which do not edify, or energize our lives. Now, I'm talking about learning to recharge our inner batteries. With stress embezzling so much of our hard earned emotional income, if we don't learn to recharge our inner batteries, we'll be charging back into our daily battles with nothing more than bold bravado.

"If there's a will there's a way," is the Thomsons' parting words, or motto, after sharing their story of love and life. They got in Janet's 1931 Ford Model A (a birthday present from Jay) and drove off to get ready for a dinner engagement.
I met them at their hangar at the Morgan County Airport. Inside, Janet introduced "these are Jay's toys," which consists of a motorcycle; a restored 1946 Fairchild airplane; a well polished motor boat; and a small plane for grandchildren to pretend to fly. A work area for his tools to keep the "toys" in running order, and for convenience, a sitting area with a 1927 antique refrigerator nearby with cold drinks and a cookie jar that resembles a fisherman's basket, full of Ginger Snap cookies, on the coffee table.

The times we live in are stressful, no doubt about it. We each carry heavy burdens that seem to get heavier each day. Some are too difficult to ignore, or escape from. Losing a loved one, failing a test, bad news at the Doctor's office, Bullies, Illness, Broken hearts, the list goes on. Sometimes the unexpected accident or crazy experience is more than we can bear. Some stresses weigh more than others, and it seems like each week we become weaker. We're not only running faster than we have strength, we feel like we're running in the wrong direction! We desperately desire even a piece of peace, but seem to find only tiny crumbs of comfort. How then shall we go on? Where shall we go to renew our strength and restore our courage to keep pressing forward even in the very depths of our adversities?

A product of a development system that, in its heyday, produced the likes of long-time NHL skaters Roman Hamrlik, Radek Bonk and Petr Cajanek, Sedlacek has been the Extraliga club's most valuable player since emerging as its top goaltender. In 2008-09, he led the league with an eye-popping .943 save percentage. This past season, in addition to backstopping the Czech team at the World Junior Championship, he posted a .927 save percentage while lowering his goals-against average to 2.25 from the 2.45 mark he posted his rookie season.

"The goaltending position has changed, and he's a small goalie (5-foot-9, 170 pounds) competing against bigger athletes. That's the main obstacle for him," said the scout. "There are limited roster places available for goaltenders, and there a lot of good young goaltenders out there, both here in Europe and in the North American junior leagues and college. Also, you have to consider issues like performance in the international tournaments, the quality of opposition and the style the goaltender plays. It's not just about looking at the goalie with the best stats."
Not all that long ago, being small wasn't a major hindrance for a goaltending prospect. Goalies such as Czech legend Dominik Hasek (6-1, 166), John Vanbiesbrouck (5-8, 175), Arturs Irbe (5-8, 190), Curtis Joseph (5-11, 190) and Mike Richter (5-10, 190) enjoyed long, productive NHL careers in the recent past despite ostensibly yielding more of the net to shooters. But nowadays, smaller goalies are going the way of the dinosaur at all levels of hockey.
While any NHL team would overlook the size issue if they had a smaller goaltending prospect that scouts projected being of the same caliber as the aforementioned goalies, the young netminder would have to be leaps and bounds ahead of his peers to earn such a vote of confidence. Even when a goalie has the sort of statistical credentials that Sedlacek has posted in Czech junior hockey and the Extraliga, the NHL scouting bar is set very high.
Another factor working against Sedlacek is that a stellar performance in the Extraliga no longer means as much as it did in years past. Despite the Czech Republic's surprise gold medal at the 2010 IIHF World Championships, the country's hockey program has been in decline in recent years.
For economic reasons, the caliber honor of play in the Czech Extraliga has been in steady decline for the past decade. Few Czech teams can afford to compete for the sort of high-end veterans who populate the KHL, Sweden's Elitserien and the Swiss National League. The quality of Czech junior programs has suffered as well. Most of the best Czech prospects -- and even a large percentage of mid-tier ones -- transfer to Canadian junior teams. The number of players being drafted by NHL clubs from Czech teams has slowed to a trickle.
Sedlacek has yet to play club hockey outside the Czech Republic. For all his regular-season success the last two seasons, his playoff performance has left something to be desired. In his first Extraliga playoff run, he gave up an average 4.05 goals per game as Zlin went down in five games in the first round of the playoffs. This past season, he posted a 3.73 GAA and .887 save percentage as Zlin again exited quickly in the postseason.
At the 2010 World Junior Championships, Sedlacek's Czech team appeared overmatched against the medal contenders and the goalie often was left hung out to dry by the team in front of him. In five starts, he posted an unimpressive-looking 3.71 GAA and .866 save percentage. Nevertheless, the goaltender was often one of the best players on his team, and his play in the relegation round was critical in his team retaining its spot at the top level of international junior hockey.
Even if Sedlacek has yet to win over some of his critics, many in the Czech Republic have hailed him as the best young goalie to emerge in the Extraliga in many years. His Zlin club, which won the Extraliga championship in 2003-04, relied heavily on its young goaltender simply to make the playoffs in 2008-09. The club was improved last season despite its short stay in the postseason.
Not surprisingly, Zlin made a priority of signing Sedlacek to a contract extension at a significantly higher salary. The goaltender accepted the club's offer and signed a new deal last December. If the 20-year-old can build upon the foundation of success he already has established, he will be one of the most sought-after goalies among teams throughout the top European leagues. At some point NHL teams may take increased interest, but even if they don't, Sedlacek remains one of the fastest-rising goalies across the pond.

The WSBeat: Arrests including violent gang member, unregistered sex offender, fugitive turned burglary suspect…April 23, 2014 at 4:00 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle police, WSBeat | 28 Comments
By Megan Sheppard
On the WSBeat, for West Seattle Blog
This edition of The WSBeat contains summaries written from reports on cases handled in recent weeks by Southwest Precinct officers – generally cases that (usually) have not already appeared here in breaking-news coverage or West Seattle Crime Watch reports, but that might at least answer the question "what WERE all those police doing on my block?" Or on the bridge, or the beach, or …
*On the afternoon of Wednesday the 16th, a car with heavily tinted windows drove past an officer on patrol at Don Armeni Boat Ramp. A routine records check of the license plate showed that the 27-year-old owner was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant for car prowling. A check of the owner's name brought up a no-bail felony warrant, extraditable throughout the United States, for unlawful firearms possession in the second degree. The officer was able to take the suspect — described in the warrants as a violent gang member — into custody without incident.
*In the Admiral area on the 14th, an officer recognized a man who was violating a protection order by walking near a girlfriend's residence The suspect was also wanted for failing to register as a sex offender. When arrested he was carrying an illegal switchblade knife and a bag of crystal meth. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of all four violations.
*A woman paid a visit to her ex-boyfriend's place of employment and argued with him in the parking lot. After he went inside, she rammed his car with hers six or eight times, yelling all the while, before driving off. The woman has been trespassed from the property.
This roundup covers a longer timespan than usual, and includes 13 more summaries ahead:
*A Westwood-area business hired a new employee and then fired him after a few days. The man was later arrested for allegedly burglarizing the place. A simple criminal background check might have saved the business this trouble. It would have disclosed that the short-term employee was wanted in New Mexico on a probation violation and for pimping and sexual exploitation of children.
*On 12th Avenue South, a tenant in a rental asked a yardworker why he was cutting branches from trees on her lawn. He waved her off, saying, "Don't worry…I've already talked to your husband." When she told him to leave he raised the chainsaw toward her and made a "swiping" motion. She ran inside and called 911. He then stumbled to his vehicle (she thought he might be intoxicated) yelling and threatening to come back that night and "F*#^ you up." It turns out the neighbor had hired the worker and claimed she had cleared the work with the victim's landlord…which she had not. The officer made a call to the yard company and is awaiting a response.
*Also in South Park, on the afternoon of the 16th, an alert citizen called 911 to report that a Level 3 sex offender was standing in front of the library, trying to talk to children. (A records check showed that particular offender was wanted on a felony warrant for failing to register his status.) Officers arrived and spoke with the man, who claimed to have no ID. He gave permission for a backpack search and told officers it contained nothing sharp. Inside? Two knives, one 7.25 inches long and another 4 inches long. This led officers to do a body search. Again, the suspect denied carrying anything sharp. Inside his jacket pocket (and easily accessible)? Two knives, one 3 inches long and one 4 inches long. He (along with his 17 aliases) was booked into King County Jail.
*Also on the 16th, a woman visited Westwood Village, stopping at the bank to withdraw $600 and then heading to buy groceries. In the bread aisle she stopped to assist an older couple who were having trouble finding a particular type of hamburger bun. When she arrived at the checkout, she realized that her wallet was missing. She also realized that the male half of the couple she had helped had not only stood by her cart (and purse), but had suddenly said, "OK, let's go" to his companion. The suspects are black, aged 50-64 and of medium build. The man wore all beige clothes and the woman wore all black clothes and had lots of freckles on her face. They remain at large.
*Claiming he had been attacked near 35th and Morgan, a 18-year-old High Point resident visited an emergency room and got stitches for knife wounds on his neck and ear. The nurse was required to contact police (though he asked her not to). The officer noted that the victim's clothes were clean and showed no signs of an altercation. It also turned out that the victim had been carrying a cellphone but, oddly, had not called 911 to report the incident. The victim quickly became hostile, calling the officer names and at one point turning to his mother (also in the room) telling her to "shut up." The officer's offer of a ride home was "rudely declined."
*The April 11th effort to catch and transport four juvenile burglary suspects in Highland Park required the resources of at least 13 Seattle officers and the crew of King County Sheriff's Office Guardian One helicopter.
*Because of a middle-school student's detailed suicide plan, officers had her transported (accompanied by her school counselor) to Children's Hospital for involuntary observation. Two weeks earlier the child had been admitted to Children's after drinking bleach.
*On the afternoon of the 12th, officers were called to a Alaska Junction medical clinic after a despondent woman awaiting transport to the hospital tried slashing her wrists with a broken tongue depressor.
*At least eight mental health crises–several involving suicide attempts–were handled in one recent week.
Plus several gathered earlier but not yet published:
*A nearly naked John Doe was hanging out in an alley near California and Walker around 6:30 a.m. on the 3rd. He was taken to Harborview for a mental evaluation.
*Saying he was hungry and wouldn't do it again, a Morgan Junction man was caught shoplifting $65 worth of beer and groceries from a market near his home. His plea for understanding rang hollow when an ID check disclosed that he was wanted on two warrants for theft totalling $10,500. He was booked into King County Jail.
*A SeaTac resident who claimed to be afraid of the dark was booked into King County Jail after stealing a flashlight from an Alaska Junction hardware store. It turns out that she, too was wanted — on a $1,000 domestic violence assault warrant.
*A 38-year-old Burien resident caused a disturbance at a Westwood Village store on the evening of the 8th. He was told to contact customer service and leave. He did not. First calm, then angry and yelling, he threatened to slap and then kill an officer. Told he was free to go, he left and then returned, three times altogether. He activated his cellphone camera, obtained the officer's name and badge number and demanded a business card with the same. He again threatened to slap the officer and this time kill himself. Given the cirumstances, the officer felt that the man warranted a mental health evaluation. The subject refused to respond to verbal commands, and it took four officers to take him to the ground to be handcuffed. He claimed he needed water, pretended to pass out, and at the hospital he tried to bite a security officer on the arm.
*Also at Westwood Village, on the afternoon of Wednesday the 2nd, three officers were hurt while arresting a 17-year-old juvenile wanted on a no-bail felony warrant. The suspect resisted arrest, hit one officer in the face and at one point during the struggle he managed to get his hand inside one officer's holster. In addition to the original felony theft warrant, the suspect now faces investigation of nonaggravated assault against officers.

"The woman has been trespassed from the property." I sure hope she was arrested and charged with a crime for ramming the ex-boyfriend's car 6 to 8 times.
Comment by ScubaFrog — 4:32 pm April 23, 2014 #
The level of increasing crime around Westwood Village is getting disturbing and worrisome.
Comment by Ron — 4:33 pm April 23, 2014 #
Ron – we're still finishing our story on last night's West Seattle Block Watch Captains Network, which includes some updates from the precinct commander and a CPT officer about that.
A pray for that middle school child who is suicidal. I hope they get the treatment they deserve and has a long happy life.

What is this world coming to? If I were ever to have a super power it would be to end addiction (of any kind)…it's the root of so many problems.
Comment by onceachef — 6:34 pm April 23, 2014 #
How can a "routine records check" on a car with heavily tinted windows not be considered profiling? And that's not to say the person arrested shouldn't have been, but the way police "police" is so crooked.
Comment by Danielle — 6:36 pm April 23, 2014 #
Once, just about every time I go to the courthouse to cover a sentencing, that's the case over and over and over again. Usually I wind up sitting through sentencings preceding the one I've come for, since scheduling is imprecise, and they're typically like one I tweeted about last Friday even though it had no West Seattle tie … the defense lawyer opened by telling the judge his client "loves methamphetamine." It was just such a stark declaration. The burglars, the car prowlers, the thieves, they're all doing it to get drug money.
That's just terrible profiling the poor heavily tinted windows
Comment by Eric — 6:55 pm April 23, 2014 #
"Profiling" it doesn't say anything about that in the story. Police run checks on License plates all the time and is how they catch people like this that should be locked up. Either Renton or Kent have the abilities with cameras on the cars, to scan, read and run plates automatically. Koodos to them !
Comment by Bob — 7:17 pm April 23, 2014 #
Heavily tinted windows are illegal. It's a $124 ticket.
Comment by Community Member — 7:24 pm April 23, 2014 #
Wordsmith all you want and pick apart technicalities. You know as well as I do, AS WELL AS POLICE DO, who they are targeting when they run the plates of cars with heavily tinted windows. Such bulls–t. Meanwhile, another middle aged white pervert finds a local school to park by and expose himself. Lord only knows where he goes after that…
Comment by Danielle — 8:19 pm April 23, 2014 #
I guess I shouldn't be surprised how many of these miscreants are roaming around causing trouble while wanted on large warrants. I feel like that shouldn't be happening.
Comment by trickycoolj — 8:28 pm April 23, 2014 #
@Danielle: what you conveniently fail to mention is "racial" profiling, though it feels implied in context. If the windows are that dark, how could the cops tell race?
As others have pointed out, too-dark windows are by themselves illegal. And, obviously preferred by crooks of all races. I'm very happy the cops are doing "random" license plate checks when their cop spidey-senses are tingling. This vehicle and the actions of its driver (likely creeping along if I had to guess) were worthy of investigation. Suspicious VEHICLE profiling? Absolutely. Go cops!
Comment by Nice try — 8:28 pm April 23, 2014 #
Nicely said, NT. Funny how cars often take on the aura of their owners.
Comment by Abc — 9:01 pm April 23, 2014 #
According to the SPD twitter entry for the incident, the John Doe on California and Walker was masturbating. I didn't see him masturbating personally, but I did see them carry him away on a stretcher wearing nothing but boxer-briefs. He left his wallet behind, however, so I had SPD come out and retrieve it and had a lengthy discussion with the officer about it… so, "John Doe" no more…

White Center doesn't Seattle's problems. Annexation is a bad idea based on selfish motivations by Southwest Seattleites who want to move their problems south.
Comment by Liz — 9:12 pm April 23, 2014 #
Whoops! "White Center doesn't need Seattle's problems…."
Comment by Liz — 9:14 pm April 23, 2014 #
How can running plates on a heavily tinted window be profiling? The police can't see the occupants of the car.
Comment by maplesyrup — 9:15 pm April 23, 2014 #
Me – I can't vouch for the report on this incident but do need to note that (as reiterated at the Block Watch Captains' Network meeting last night – story almost done) SPD auto-tweets do NOT necessarily indicate what the incident turned out to be. There is an initial tweet about what was reported and therefore what was dispatched – but then there will be a second tweet (pro tip: look for the incident numbers to match) about what was found, and it's not always the same thing. Might be a shots-fired dispatch and then, if no proof of gunfire was found, "noise disturbance" for the resolution. I don't have time to look this one up but just since you mentioned it … thanks! TR
Unregistered Level 3 sex offender with 17 aliases, carrying 4 knives and trying to talk with children in front of the library….wtf???
Kudos to the proactive citizen and SPD!!

maplesyrup: How can running plates on a heavily tinted window be profiling? The police can't see the occupants of the car.
Eric: Well in Danielle's rant about profiling, she overlooked the obvious fact that she, herself was profiling and over generalizing a race or races. You know, like the implication of only middle age white people are the perverts at the schools exposing themselves in the statement she made.
Comment by Eric — 4:48 am April 24, 2014 #
Eric, before Danielle's generalizing about middle-aged, white males, she generalized about minorities and tinted windows.
Comment by CandrewB — 5:50 am April 24, 2014 #
Exactly Candrew, that's what I said, though it might not have been as clear as I thought
Comment by Eric — 8:42 am April 24, 2014 #
Generalization about the most prolific taggers in the Admiral district–white, male, middle school, high school age. Overheard a group of teens talking about "how not thinking before doing" (heavily paraphrased) the pair are.
Comment by gina — 9:19 am April 24, 2014 #
Not sure if my last message went through, but yes Candrew, exactly. That's what I was referring to, but looking at my initial reply is not as clear as I thought
Comment by Eric — 9:37 am April 24, 2014 #
It mostly depends on the preconceptions of the reader. When I first read the report, the image of a fancy limosene came to mind. That image changed after I read your first post.
Comment by bolo — 10:58 am April 24, 2014 #
Right….that perfectly explains the disproportionate amount of limo drivers incarcerated in our country.
Comment by Danielle — 6:11 pm April 24, 2014 #
Your statement about a disproportionate amount being incarcerated in this country is obviously referring to the statistics that a disproportionate amount of young black males are being incarcerated in this country.
Yet, I don't recall anywhere here where the person arrested race was mentioned. All that was mentioned was that the person was 27 years old and was considered a "violent gang member".
So once again in your ranting against profiling, you yourself from the information provided here on the blog, made the assumption (obviously profiling and over-generalizing) that the "violent gang member" was black. You don't know that. You just assumed that. The irony is not lost here.

Windsurfing News
- 24 April 2009 | Windsurfing
Due to organizational problems we need to postpone the Mauritius event until further notice.
One of the main issues was that the national flight company has dramatically reduced their flights and we can not guarantee shipping of all equipment in time.
We tried to arrange alternative boat transfers but it was impossible to get a guarantee for proper timing. We are still working on it and the event will definately happen in the future.
Karpathos has thus been confirmed now as 2009 one-off world championship, which means that the winner of the Karpathos event will be the 2009 world champion and collect 475 points for the world ranking.
Registration will be opened shortly, please do not book any flights before your starting place is confirmed.
Starting places are limited this year, and seeding will be done by the world ranking. More details will be send to you with the registration forms.
We will also confirm soon the status of the remaining major events, as well as possible additional national events.
- 24 April 2009 | Windsurfing
The first day of the event started of with the usual registration for all who wants to participate: 85 windsurfers from Bonaire, Curacao, U.S, Holland in total registered from: Rookies, Junior, Sports, Women and Open Men.
On that same day we had a quick skippers meeting plus a welcome speech from the organizers and the day ended with free beers and a small party as the wind prediction was good for the next day.. so everyone was truly looking forward for the next day racing and went early to bed.
DAY 2: April 10th Skippers meeting began at 9 O'clock, The race director decided to make an 8 figure slalom as the sea bottom is about 600 meter deep it was too deep and too much work to adjust more jibe marks and it would be easy to just place two jibe marks and start the first possible race at 10 O'clock. Due to problems with the outside mark drifting away the races where started later at 12 O'clock.
With wind gusting from 20-25knots open sea, with swells 1 -2 meter it was a perfect day for rough slalom racing. Just what I like - 3 races were done back to back. I was very much under control on my Isonic 101 and TR5 6.6 and had great board speed with the sail feel pretty much comfortable in the gusts.
I won all three races with ease, Ingmar was really comfortable as he also knowing his home turf he was sure putting pressure on the on the other competitors, finished the day in second place, While Kiri was going really fast and with perfect starts he finished the day in 3rd with his Isonic 86.
These are the top riders from day one as the other 15 sailors were having problems with their self's including crashing, out of control, falling in jibes etc. Junior race where also done as Amado another Starboard team rider just won all the races in his class and with 10 juniors competing… He's also pretty fast for his age. The day ended with wind dropping to 15 knots very on steady and not so much at the jibe marks.
DAY 3: April 11th 9 o'clock Skipper meeting for all sailor - about 15 mile down wind Long Distance race for all classes
10 o'clock first race started of with the Junior,
10:10am second start of the day for the Women.
10:15 am third start of the day for the Sports
10:20 fourth start for the Men.
Wind 22-26 knots average 20 knots. As it was going to be a fully down wind race a rigged my TR6 7.6 and still on the same Starboard Isonic 101 Kiri, Ingmar and many other sailors had a perfect gust and perfect start getting fully planing downwind going starboard while I had a light wind starting and couldn't bare as much down wind as them, Decided to make an early jibe to get some clean and stronger wind and that was perfect that jibe gain me a lot of board speed and with perfect wind heading fully powered up down wind felt great.
I made up 2 minute on that same reach while heading back starboard. I was leading because most all of them went to much on starboard side and had a bad wind bearing down wind to the port so I was just on track. With great board speed I went to the committee boat way outside too for name and sail number confirmation because if you didn't stop to jibe this boat or let them see you, you will be DSQ.

The Auckland Windsurfing Association is now ready to be officially formed.
The aim is to incorporate the Association. Incorporation means that the Association's property (money, rescue boat? website, buoys, trophies etc) will in future be held by the Association instead of by the members for the time being. The Association can also then enter contracts and open a bank account.
The members will only have to pay their subscriptions and can not become liable for any debts or liability the Association may incur.
Tim Wood and Marilyn, Dan Thomas and I have been working on the preliminary paperwork that is needed to incorporate. This has included the preparation of a draft set of rules.
We now need to have an initial meeting with 15 people in attendance to
* resolve to incorporate,
* approve the rules and
* decide who will be the first members of the committee, being:
o President
o Vice President
o Secretary
o Treasurer
* choose who will fill the additional committee positions that the rules provide.
This initial meeting is not the AGM. That will be held in July or August to give the Committee some time to meet and discuss initiatives and set up things like the website, registration forms and to T-up other membership benefits. Its likely that membership fees will be around $35 per annum.
The Association will aim to offer great membership benefits and a voice for windsurfers in the wider Auckland area. Lobbying for preservation of our favourite windsurfing spots, membership discounts, parking exemptions at locations such at Takapuna boat ramp, coastguard and gear insurance discounts, education, social events, competitions, demo days and many other are on the cards.

I've got a Solaris 10u6 sparc and a Solaris 10u8 x86 system, with gcc 3.4.3 and 3.4.5 installed. After extracting the source and typing './configure' and 'gmake', I get the following error while compiling TestAssert.cpp:
In file included from TestAssert.cpp:2:
../../include/cppunit/portability/FloatingPoint.h: In function `int CppUnit::floatingPointIsFinite(double)':
../../include/cppunit/portability/FloatingPoint.h:43: error: `finite' was not declared in this scope
This is a little strange, because the ./configure script determined that 'finite' worked on this system (and accordingly defined CPPUNIT_HAVE_FINITE).
I got around this problem by manually changing FloatingPoint.h to not use finite, but the bigger question is why 'configure' thought 'finite' was available. I couldn't see any obvious way to fix configure so that it correctly identifies 'finite'.
Anyone else have similar issues compiling on Solaris 10 with gcc 3.4.x?
Stephan Bergmann
I just ran into the same problem, trying to build CppUnit 1.12.1 on Solaris 10 using the Sun CC C++ compiler.
configure checks for finite with AC\_CHECK\_FUNCS, which only checks that finite is in libc (which it is), but not which header needs to be included (ieeefp.h on Solaris).
So, I think a fix would be:
-- cppunit-1.12.1/include/cppunit/portability/FloatingPoint.h
+++ cppunit-1.12.1/include/cppunit/portability/FloatingPoint.h
@@ -3,6 +3,11 @@
#include <cppunit/Portability.h>
#include <math.h>

Monterey County Sheriff's Department
Amy Antuzzi, 35, of Carmel Valley, was arrested Tuesday following a narcotics investigation, according to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office.
The Special Enforcement Detail of the Sheriff's Office began a joint narcotics investigation of Antuzzi in July along with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation.
