1995 Nissan Altima • 238,768 miles
The cars heating/ac system is not working. I removed the belt for the ac compressor a year ago when it locked up, so I know that wont work but since then the control panel on the dash quit working. I can turn the knob for the blower motor and it will blow but it only blows out defrost and only blows outside air. Ive opened the valve to the heater core manually at the firewall and the hoses all get hot. The lights for the control panel on the dash dont come on so I replaced the whole control and still nothing. I dont see a fuse for this panel anywhere. Any ideas what my problem is. Even if I could get it to stay on heat through defrost and floor I would be happy, any ideas?

The blue-and-tan facade of this stylish inn suggests its 1963 urban-motel origins, yet the spacious rooms themselves are quite modern, decorated in simple earth tones; some have fold-out sofas, and 18 offer kitchenettes. Adjoining rooms can be connected to create a kid-friendly suite. Accommodations in the rear have cityscape views and tend to be quieter. For a fee, day passes are available to the extensive exercise facilities at the Jewish Community Center, directly across the street. Diverse shops and restaurants are one block away on Sacramento Street. The hotel also serves up complimentary coffee, tea, afternoon cookies, and lemonade. The newly branded Swank Cocktail Lounge lives up to its name, with 1960s-era furnishings, mixologists slinging funky and classic cocktails, baristas whipping up Blue Bottle coffee, and James Bond on the telly outmaneuvering all his foes.

Hi folks,
My bike was just stolen so I'm in the market for a new one. I am 50 and in decent shape, 5'10 150#, but I haven't been riding much in the past 15 years. My goal is to work up to a commute about 17 miles one way on country roads at least once/week. I leave at 6:00 in the morning when it is dark so I'll need a good headlight.
My wife trains and competes in triathlons and would like me to do one with her next year. I cannot afford two bicycles and am more interested in completing the race than being competitive. A good touring bike would suffice for a once/year race.
Does anyone recommend a specific bike or recommend an internet article about choosing a touring bike? I am considering touring frames with plenty of eyelets for racks, a relaxed geometry but with the faster 700c tires. I don't like knobby mountain tires on the hybrid bikes.
My price range is $250 to $750.

It's FRIDAY!!!!

Friday, April 20, 2012
Happy Friday, Everyone!! I am so excited for this weekend. My boyfriend and I are celebrating our 1 year anniversary at the beach. Now, keep in mind, this is the Washington coast that we are going to, so it will probably be cold and windy but it will be a get-away regardless!
Without my boyfriend, this lifestyle change would not have been as easy as it has been. He is taking the journey with me and he makes most of our dinners, and has no problem hitting the gym after work most days (unless his ex is off too late and he is still with his kids). But his going to the gym and being so consistant encourages me to do the same. I love that we are able to go through this together. :)
On that note, my jeans seem to be fitting better today! They are a size down from what I was wearing at the beginning of the year, so they were a little tight when I started wearing them and would cause a slight muffin top, but that is gone now! Its very exciting as the scale isn't showing my improvements.
Yesterday I had an idea that will help me to always remember my accomplishments. I went to the craft store and bought Swarovski beads and some bracelet memory wire. I brought home something like 10 colors of beads and I made a code as to when I get to add each bead to my bracelet. I don't have the code with me, but some examples are:
1 purple bead every time I workout for an hour (usually ever 2 days)
1 champagne bead every time I reach 10 miles through my workouts
Everytime I complete 20 hours, rather than adding a purple bead for that hour, and when I reach 100 hours, I will put a yellow bead rather than a blue bead
Same idea applies to miles traveled during workouts
I will also give myself a bead every 20 workouts
There will be a black bead for every pound lost
I'm very excited about it! It will be random and colorful. I am wearing my bracelet now, with a whole 6 beads on it! In order to wear it without it being complete, I am using plain silver beads as place holders. As I get more and more completed, I will transfer the beads to a new wire to make a multi-strand bracelet. It really makes me want to work hard so that I can have this beautiful bracelet to remind myself of all of my hard work.
Does anybody else have a creative way of motivating themself??
Have a great weekend!!

I love this cleanser by Burt's Bees... the orange smell is wonderful and it seems to "melt" on my skin like honey. I have normal/combination skin and just wanted to give a thumbs up to this cleanser!

I see a lot of people whining about so many face care products...head to the derm ($150 w/ no insurance), he/she will tell you what you really need and you will save yourself $1000s on trying new products searching for your "holy grail" face products. That way, we can all quit whining about what doesn't work and get on with our lives! That being said:
I don't think this product is awesome as a stand-alone cleanser. HOWEVER, it is an amazing makeup remover. It does leave a small film, so if you like squeaky clean (which will dry your face out at first and grease you up later...) this isn't for you. It takes some getting used to..and if you've been trying the same type of products over and over hoping for different results, this may be a nice change for you. I stuck it out and my skin has changed for the better. It removes ALL of my makeup and doesn't irritate it. I have moderate rosacea (diagnosed by a legit derm...not self diagnosed..) and follow up with physician's formula cleanser (in the red can) and it works out very nicely for my normal-combo skin.

I purchased this in another moment of being tired of researching for natural facial cleansers that were inexpensive, easy to obtain, did not contain added fragrance, coconut-derived surfactants, and after many repeat failures using DIY recipes. Also by purchasing it from Walgreens, I could return it if I wasn't satisfied. I was hesitant to use it because of my sensitive, oily-prone, dehydrated, mature skin and previous redness (sign of irritation) from using other products with EOs and the conflicting information about using citrus oils on sensitive skin. My usual experience has been that when I try something that's manufactured and supposed to be good for sensitive skin (CB shampoo, Dr. Bronner's Baby Mild, etc.) on the first usage my face will feel taut, itch, and my lips will peel. Upon the first usage of this cleanser, I massaged it into my dry skin and rinsed with warm water, I was pleasantly surprised that none of the typical reactions occurred and my skin felt very soft. After two days of using it in that manner, I did have that gummy residue on my face. I then tried using it like a cleansing balm, wiping it off with a moistened cotton pad, etc. Finally, I found that the best way to use this is to wet my face first, gently massage/swipe the cleanser over my face, use a wet baby washcloth to wipe it off and then rinse. This can be a little messy, if you're not in the shower. I did attempt in the early days of usage to purchase the same ingredients and make my own version w/o orange oil -but oat oil has to be purchased in large quantities. I don't use it for MUR because that would mean too much rubbing and that's a no-no for my skin. I now use lanolin oil combined with EVOO as a MUR as the results of that DIY recipe attempt. I am sensitive to the smell of fragrances, but the orange essence has not created an issue for me. The only time I experienced "the heat" as described by others is when my palms are already warm from hot water and then went to apply it on dry skin. For the price, limited number of ingredients, ease of obtaining, and the results - this an HG for me. 1 tube lasts approximately 2 mos using a (garbanzo) pea-size amount. Of course, I follow cleansing with patting on 1 drop of squalane oil and then applying moisturizer. I am no longer experiencing dry skin patches or oiliness. Yahoo!

Mmm this smells great! When i first used it, i was kind of dissapointed, because of the oily-like texture. And the feeling it leaves when you rinse your face, like moisture. And i have pretty oily skin, to use an oily cleanser!!
One day i saw this in my drawer and decided to start using it, and i guess i got used to it, and now i like the feeling it gives, before i used Noxzema, that didn't work for me at all, i loved the tingly sensation, but i really didn't feel it cleansed me at all. And other cleansers for example, the foaming one for one by Clinique, really dried me out, and somewhere i read that oily skin can be treated with the same thing.. Oil, sounds like homeopathy huh? And using it continuously i do see a difference in my face, it looks more fresh, more relaxed, and it has not brocke me out.
I like to use this is in the mornings. I use it with the Clarisonic Mia. It does not foam, it leaves a nice smell, and a moisture kinda of feel. This is one of the few 100% natural cleanser you can easily find, also I dont find it expensive as others organic products.
By the way, i urge you to enter this web site and browse about the ingredients that are in makeup products: http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/

I've bought this cleanser a few times in the past but for some reason decided to stop using it for a good two years. I don't know exactly why I stopped but the most likely conjecture is that I got bored and wanted to try new things.
No other cleanser smells quite as brilliant and delicious as this one. It smells like oranges as you might anticipate (just because a product says it smells like orange doesn't mean that it always does- the Avalon Organics orange cleanser smelled like orange scented chemical detergent). The scent is probably my favorite thing about this cleanser as I don't honestly think BBOEC is the HG cleanser of the world...as it is not appropriate for all skin types (particularly oily).
In my opinion, dry skin types would benefit most from this cleanser and won't feel the "filmy remnants" that oily skin types do. I certainly didn't when I used it. IMO it cleaned without stripping and left my face nicely soft and moisturized.
NOTE* This stuff does not foam so if you're looking for the bubbles and that squeaky clean feeling- this isn't it.
8 dollars a is bargain price IMO for a cleanser. Perhaps because I have been wastefully extravagant in my selection of cleansers since I ceased using this one::
Clinique's 7 Day Scrub, Origins Frothy Cleanser, Origins Perfect World Cleanser, Kose Nature & Co Cleanser, Purity Cleanser, Missha Super Aqua Cream Cleanser, Boots No. 7 Cream cleanser, Boots No.7 Radiance Scrub...of these I would say Burts Bees is better than the majority of them with the exception of Purity & Origins Perfect World but then again you also have pay quite a bit more for the latter. So for the time being I've decided to go back to good old Burts Bees. When my pocket book gets fatter, there's a chance I'll swing by Purity & Origins again but otherwise it's all about Burt.

I usually like Burt's Bee's products, but this one I would not repurchase. I am using it up to completion, because I hate to waste money, but it doesn't make me feel like it's cleansing my face at all...and has made my eyes burn a few times due to the acidity of the orange essence. I like the concept, the tube, etc, but it just isn't effective and doesn't make me feel clean.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine

This is some impressive stuff! I've used Burt's Bees' Orange Essence Facial Cleanser for the past week and a half and am surprised at how much better it removes eye makeup than any other product I've tried--even ones specifically designed to remove eye makeup. It does leave a "film" behind as other reviewers have said, but I think it's moisturizing. And you could always use a toner after if you want a squeaky clean face.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Other, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I consider this to be a moisturizing facial cleanser for dry skin. I don't use it to remove makeup (I use make up remover to do that) and only use it when my skin is feeling dry/flaky. I have formerly oily skin that has turned combo but still acne-prone. I only use this once day (maybe twice on the rare occasion), it will clog my skin if I use it too frequently. It makes my skin soft and balanced. I love the orange scent and thick texture.
It's great at what it's suppose to do--cleanse (and slightly moisturize) dry skin. It does leave a soft film on the skin--I consider that the moisturizing side effect. It's not a miracle-worker but works well. I'm on my second tube of it and intend to keep using, especially in the winter!

Yuk, yuk, YUK!!!
This stuff left my face feeling more dirty than before washing. I can't get over the smell...it makes me feel like I'm washing my face with pledge cleaner!

The town board approved the purchase of a plow-equipped dump truck at $140,000 at its meeting Monday Dec. 13. Highway Superintendent Don MacLachlan said the town would save $24,000 by buying this particular truck, which had been sitting on the lot at Stadium International in Syracuse.
He also said now was an opportune time to buy.
"There's new regulations coming for emissions and fuel which are going to raise the cost of the trucks anywhere from 10 to 20 thousand dollars," MacLachlan said.
The highway department has seven dump trucks, which tend to get replaced every 10 years - in this case, the outgoing truck has been used by the town for 11 years.
Money for the purchase was included in the approved budget for 2011.
The purchase approval had nothing to do with the current weather conditions, though the record-breaking snow was heavy on MacLachlan's mind as it continued to fall that night.
"It's been busy. Not much sleep," he said. "We start all over tomorrow."
'Dog Law' passes
The town board held a public hearing to consider adopting a local dog law - the result of New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets handing all dog licensing responsibilities over to towns.
The town has been issuing licenses for years. The state's main tasks were sending out the initial license renewal reminder, and keeping track of dogs in a database. The state's database will shut down, but the town of Marcellus already has its own in place.
"It basically gives us the authority to do things that we've been doing on behalf of the state," Supervisor Dan Ross said.
The town raised the yearly licensing fee from $5.50 to $6 for altered dogs and from $13.50 to $14.50 for unaltered dogs. Town Clerk Karen Pollard said the town wanted to be prepared for additional postage fees incurred by the town.

Matt Hardy To Wrestle November 14th in Rahway, NJ!
The last time fans saw Matt Hardy in JAPW was on May 21, 2005 in Braintree, MA and June 4, 2005 in Rahway, NJ. However, due a contract obligation he was unable to wrestle and only able to sign autographs to fans in attendance.
On November 14th, Matt Hardy will finally wrestle inside a JAPW ring, more than 10 years after his last appearance.
Matt Hardy will be taking on a person who has had similar situations he faced throughout his wrestling career, both seen their tag partners have more popularity among fans, and even move on to new ventures.
When Matt Hardy was announced for signing autographs on November 14th, a certain wrestler contacted JAPW management demanding to wrestle Matt Hardy who was already booked in a match. This wrestler was also wanted to remove himself from the match, so he could wrestle Matt Hardy.
The same wrestler was also on the same shows as Matt Hardy back in 2005, and was even considered by JAPW Management at the time to wrestle Matt Hardy if Hardy's contract allowed it.
Jersey All Pro Wrestling would like to announce that after 10 years since Matt Hardy's last appearance, Azrieal will be facing off 1 on 1 against Matt Hardy on November 14th.
Azrieals replacement in the Best of the Light Heavyweights will be revealed within the next 24 hours, and this person has wrestled for JAPW in the past.

A Message from Jeff Shapiro
To The JAPW Family and Friends,
Twenty years ago I remember standing in front of Charity Hall with Pierre at the Bayonne Hometown Fair and this skinny kid (Yes, Frank was skinny) came over to talk to us with his friend Chino Martinez. They came to see if we were interested in running wrestling at the bingo hall. They pitched us their idea, talked about their wrestling group thanked us and said goodbye. After talking with Pierre we thought it would be a fun thing to try. Pierre called Frank back and said yes we were interested, and the rest is history. This past week we lost our Founder, Promoter, biggest cheerleader but most importantly our friend. When it came time for a wrestling show no one put more effort into it then Frank. Everyday leading up to a show there were crazy phone calls at all hours of the morning and night,text messages and every conversation we had revolved around wrestling. He made us laugh no matter how difficult the situation.
The show was more important than anything. Frank always wanted to give wrestlers a chance to wrestle on our shows, no matter how good or bad they were. Today we are proud that many JAPW alumni have gone on to bigger and better things in the wrestling world. Over the past few years we cut back on our schedule because of work and family commitments, but there would always be that weekly question from Frank, are we going to run another show? This past year we decided that we would try to run a few shows each year, to keep the JAPW name alive. We also talked about continuing JAP if either one of us were not around. The answer to that was a resounding "YES".
With that said Saturday November 14th, we not only present JAPW's 19th Anniversary Show we more importantly present a Memorial Show in Frank's honor. Special thanks to Pierre, Angel, Mark Szabo, Dom and Scott, Vic and most importantly Frank's wife Jen without your help and support this would not at all be possible. Also a special thank you to all our fans and friends for your kind words, pictures and your stories and special memories with Frank.
Frank, I know you are listening and reading this, I have a special seat saved for you at ringside where you will be able to watch your JAPW put on its greatest show ever for you.

davidvinc said:I was under the impression that Tales Studio was going out of business- if that is the case, where are they getting the funding for all these projects?
mindsoak said:You should see the ruckus over at Namco Games facebook page. Fans are raging at always getting overlooked with Tales games. For the past few days people have been spamming them with pleas, surveys, petitions, and more. They are going after their facebook, their twitter, their snail mail, and their phonelines. It's a big mess, but it's understandable when you look at how many games from the series have never been released outside of japan.
LordKaiser said:Specially if RPGs on consoles are running dry this season once again. The only game I'm still playing now is WKC in online mode. I like Tales games and it bothers me that they stay in Japan. ( I don't care about the crossovers)
Wheels said:Its really not understandable. They just refuse to accept that most of the games don't sell well over here.
LordKaiser said:Spamming a Facebook or Twiter account is immature but people don't care. They just want the product and care less of the company' s well being. Ocelot offered many valid points and strtegies that seem logical but Wheels thinking goes more inline with Namco Bandai thoughts. Sadly but true of a company who takes unnecessary risks with other poor games and not games like the Tales series. Anyone remembered the first Gundam for the PS3?
Ocelot said:Yeah, I'm not trying to offer up strategies to Namco Bandai, I'm just speculating from my knowledge of the industry.
Wheels said:
Whatever the reasons for not bringing over Vesperia PS3/Tales of Graces I'm sure they're good reasons. Its not like its been years since we got a Tales game, its been less than 2 years, quite normal for many series.
Confessor Rahl said:I'll bite: Like what?
Confessor Rahl said:I'll bite: Like what?
Clix said:There's a difference there. Those series don't skip main entries anymore. In these last two years, we've missed two mothership Tales games.
I do hope that with the recent financial troubles, they'll start slowing down on their releases. They'll have more money to work on individual games and may consider localizing them more often.Wheels said:Right we don't miss main entries because they aren't coming out every freaking year. Tales is not a sports franchise or something.
Strawberry Eggs said:I do hope that with the recent financial troubles, they'll start slowing down on their releases. They'll have more money to work on individual games and may consider localizing them more often.
watcher said:Let's not forget that bouncing a series between every platform in the current console generation makes it hard for fans to follow. Seriously, is there any current system without a tales game made for it or in the works (in Japan at least)?
Veghabe said:Well technically if you include Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri dungeon X then its 4 new tales of games that most likely will never have a North American release not 3 games.
omegabyte said:Let's see...
Xbox 360 - Vesperia. Check!
PS3 - Vesperia. Check!
Wii - Dawn of the New World, Graces. Check!
DS - Tempest, Innocence, Hearts. Check!
PSP - Radiant Mythology 1, 2, 3, a bajillion ports and spin-offs. Check!
So yea. They've got every platform covered.
MeoTwister5 said:If I had to choose between getting a poorly localized Tales game every year to a well localized one every 2, I'll gladly take the second. I just wished that Bamco would realize that it's not illogical to assume that a well accepted game in Japan could also be well accepted in the rest of the world.

Illinois Rep. Schakowsky Makes Minimum Wage Menu
Many Hoosiers are familiar with our state's "Illinoied?" campaign designed to attract businesses from a state whose leaders are out of touch when it comes to building an environment for economic growth. This program has had success, but yesterday an Illinois Congresswoman gave us all a window into why Illinois residents should be annoyed with their leaders.
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) is attempting to live life on the budget of a minimum wage worker. She is doing this in an attempt to demonstrate that the current minimum wage is "unlivable" and must be increased. She's not the first person to try to do this and I'm sure she won't be the last. What sparked outrage around Twitter was her "minimalistic" menu that she is following to keep to her budget.
If you look at the picture above you'll see she identifies her choices for different means over the course of the day. Dinner options include chicken, pasta or hot dogs… for breakfast she might indulge in an English muffin with an egg or go the more traditional cereal with a banana on the side. What many people see on this list is a typical menu they at one time in their lives or another actually had to keep, or may still be keeping.
One has to wonder if this is seen as minimalistic, what the heck is Rep. Schakowsky eating when she's living off her six-figure Congressional salary? For someone who claims to understand the needs of working class Americans she doesn't seem to understand that there are many people, working class or not, who would keep to a menu like this anyway mlinwood.
This week the American Legislative Exchange Council had members of their state fiscal policy team in Indiana sharing the results of their annual "Rich State, Poor State" study of the economic conditions in the states. The evaluate Indiana as 3rd among the states when it comes to economic potential because our leaders understand the factors that promote economic growth and are attractive to business leaders.
You might ask where Illinois fell on that list? Well they're ranked 48th on the list. With leaders who can't even relate to what would be a typical weekly menu for many Illinois residents, is it any wonder why? I'd encourage folks from Illinois to beat the rush and start heading to Indiana now!

'Comedy Bang! Bang!' Host Scott Aukerman on A-List Guest Stars and His 'Crazy Ideas'
'Comedy Bang! Bang!' Host Scott Aukerman on A-List Guest Stars and His 'Crazy Ideas'
Comedy Bang! Bang! returns with a, well, bang on Friday night.
The second season of IFC's comedy-variety series, hosted by Scott Aukerman (Mr. Show With Bob and David) along with his musical cohort Reggie Watts, features a slew of big guest stars, including Zach Galifianakis, Jessica Alba, Zoe Saldana, Anna Kendrick, Bill Hader, Rashida Jones, Jason Schwartzmann and Paul Reubens, who reprises Pee-wee Herman character.
PHOTOS: THR Emmy Roundtable: Behind-the-Scenes With TV's Outrageous Comedy Actors
Comedy Bang! Bang! -- which got its start as a podcast and blends celebrity interviews with comedy sketches-- kicks off its season with Andy Samberg, who sits down to talk about how to pick up girls and stay out of the doctor's office. The second episode sees an elite team (Christopher Meloni, Echo Kellum and Kulap Vilaysack) dispatched inside a "sick" Aukerman while he interviews Aziz Ansari and craft services coordinator Fabrice Fabrice (Nick Kroll). (As with season one, episode titles take the simple -- but amusing -- format of "Andy Samberg Wears a Plaid Shirt and Glasses" or "Aziz Ansari Wears a Charcoal Blazer.")
Ahead of the premiere, Aukerman, who also serves as executive producer, talked to The Hollywood Reporter about what viewers can expect in the second season and why so many stars are interested in appearing on the show.
The Hollywood Reporter: You have a long list of celebrities guest-starring this season. Was it easier to book so many big names in your second season?
Scott Aukerman: The first season, I really relied on my friends and people in comedy that I had worked with over the years. So I kind of made these favor calls in a way; I would call up Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd and ask them to be on a TV show they had never seen that may or may not be good. I've also known Jon Hamm a really long time, and he was like, "Yep, no problem." The first year, it really was a lot of that -- me just relying on the kindness of my friends. Since the show came out last year and was really well received, this year it was slightly easier to get people. Anna Kendrick was actually the first person to sign on, and she wanted to do it. I had never met her before, but when she was on the show she told me she was a really big fan of the first season. People like Jessica Alba and Zoe Saldana I also had never met before; they are huge movie stars and never do this type of show; they view it as a really interesting challenge for them. Jessica Alba told me after the show that she didn't know if she could hang with us, but believe me, she did. She is really funny in it. The challenge for some people is to see if they can be funny in this environment. It's a challenge for big stars, but we take caer of them; we make sure they shine and are funny. It's not a huge time commitment either. It's a dream for people who don't normally do comedy; they can come in for an afternoon or just and hour and do something funny.
THR: Paul Reubens reprises his Pee-wee Herman character. How did that happen?
Aukerman: That was really exiting because Paul and Pee-wee were my No. 1 desired guest to be on the show. Comedy Bang! Bang! owes such a debt to Pee-wee's Playhouse. When the opportunity came about, I was so excited in the fact that he would even take a phone call from me. One of our writers, Paul Rust, works with Mr. Reubens a lot; they co-wrote the new Pee-wee Herman movie together. So he took a phone call from me, and I explained what the process was, and what we wanted to do with him. He was so generous with his time and wrote all new Pee-wee Herman bits for the show that had never been seen before. He came and hung out with us all afternoon and did an entire episode with us. It was something special for him to return to this character and add new material.

AHS Ladycats vs. Springtown at Aledo;
Varsity, 6:30 p.m.
JV, 5 p.m.
9th, 5 p.m.
Boswell scored eight unanswered runs on its way to an 8-3 win over the Aledo Bearcats Saturday night in a District 6-4A second-place tiebreaker game at Saginaw High School.
The Bearcats will assume the district's third seed and play Lake Dallas - the second seed from District 5-4A - next week in a best-of-three bi-district playoff series. Bi-district playoffs begin on Thursday, May 6.
Check this site for information on the Aledo/Lake Dallas series.
The Bearcats jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Rylan Riney reached on an error and scored on a double to right-centerfield by Matt Bishop.
Boswell pitcher Dylan Swindell, who earned the win, walked three batters in the opening frame and hit another. During the inning, both Bishop and Zack Scott (who reached on a walk) scored from third base on wild pitches as Aledo forged an early three-run lead.
However, Boswell came back with three runs to tie the game in the bottom of the first. The big hit in the inning was a solo homer by Jacoby Stone.
Boswell cut the lead to 3-2 when Keeton Crosby doubled and was driven in a batter later by Brandon Troxell. The Pioneers tied the score on an unearned run as Troxell crossed the plate after Caden MacNeill reached on an error.
Boswell took the lead for good with a run in the second inning. Stone walked and was driven home a batter later on a triple by Jean Ramirez.
The Pioneers added a pair of runs in the third and a run each in the fifth and sixth innings to close the scoring.

Dive in with both feet.
Few sandals could boast go-anywhere-and-do-anything versatility ... that is, until the Women's Z/2 Yampa came along. Chaco further outfitted these beauties with the classic Yampa Colorado outsoles for supreme traction in the water. Wildly popular among guides, professional outdoorsmen (and women!), and die-hard river rats, Chaco sandals are built with simplicity and rugged durability in mind. After feeling the assertively supportive footbeds cradle your foot and experiencing the sandals' steadfast traction in wet conditions, you may live in them from June to September.
- Adjust'em uppers use a single strap, threaded through the footbed, to offer a durable and customizable fit
- AddStride footbeds are gender-specific, use a sculpted heel cup to keep your foot from sliding, and boast aggressive arch support to control pronation
- Lightweight Yampa soles use medium-sized lugs and water drainage channels to offer supreme traction in the water or on wet surfaces
- Vibram soles are resoleable if you wear your Chacos down to a nub traveling, boating, and generally raising the gnar bar

Great Shoe for Wading, But...
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
I'm pretty happy with these for wading and wet activities, but I've made the mistake of using them as a hiking shoe. The third time I wore my latest pair I left my hiking boots by the door on accident and after not realizing until I was two hours away from home I decided to just suck it up and hike in my Chacos. Things were great the first 800 vertical feet, but my feet weren't digging the lack of cushioning on the way back down through rocky scramble and steep declines. By the end of a seven mile hike I had small blisters on the edge of the outside of each foot from rubbing where the straps meet the sole. I can't really fault the shoes for that though - they are designed for wet activities or wading, not for long hikes up and down mountains. Putting my feet back in them after that hike to get back to my campsite was not a pleasant experience (it did get better after a nice wade through a mountain lake, though).
As a comparison though, I spent the majority of my childhood and early adult life using Tevas as an all around wet/dry hike/wade shoe, and I never had the blistering issue I had with my Chacos on a hike. So I can't give them a full five stars.
For sizing: I wear a 6.5 usually in my everyday shoes and my Chacos are a 7.
Hey Maggie! Welcome to the Backcountry Community and thanks for the awesome review!
Chacos at Green River
Fishin' in Chacos. It could be worse: I could be fishin' in Crocs..
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
In theory, these shoes are perfect: a sandal that facilitates quick transition from land ---> water --> land, with adjustable straps and a toe loop for maximum performance. And really, they do a great job at that. However, anything over a half-mile walk makes me wish these polyurathane midsoles were EVA.
..Don't get me started on the 5-mile-hike-turned-12-mile-hike-because-we-got-lost-and-I-was-wearing-Chacos-and-had-3-inch-blisters-on-the-soles-of-my-feet story. Because that sucked.
But with that said, I can't bear to bring these shoes down to 3 stars because: 1) they aren't made to hike 12 miles in and 2) they're a great wet-wade shoe.
Plus, nothing screams "SEXY" like a Chaco tan! ;)
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
These shoes are great I've worn them on so many hikes and for every day activities. They are very comfortable and still in great condition. Almost like new. I loved these shoes so much I bought another pair!
I love my Chacos!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
Great fit and they hold up for years.
Bought for my Sister
- Familiarity:I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit:True to size
She loves these sandals. I cant wait to buy my own pair. They look great on and she loves how comfortable and versatile they are. I'm excited to finally play in these.
Love these Chacos
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
I bought these Chacos for a trip to Kauai. They fit and felt great right from the start. I did some major hiking in the mud and they held up great. Brought them home and ran them through the washer and they cleaned right up.
The worst feet ever.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
I by far have the gnarlyest feet ever created and have a difficult time getting sandals and shoes to fit. What is great about chacos is the adjustable straps so they will fit any foot comfortably. These took about 10 min to adjust because I'm not that coordinated, but now that they are dialed in- I have no complaints. I recently put these through the ringer by taking them on a 5 mile hike through the rainforest and it poured rain the entire time. I didn't feel burning or pain spots like I did with other sandles or wet shoes nor did I have issues with slipping on rocks because of the unique sole. Theres a reason why hippy river guides wear these- well because they are hippys, but because they are the best. I highly recommend and hope to have these for another 11 years like my last pair.
Tricky fit
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:Runs small
I tried these on in the store then bought them here. I struggled with these because I have high arches. I flossed them and loosened up and they were okay when on dry land. Once I took them in water, they got stiff and I got blisters on my big toe and on the arch of my foot from getting sand stuck. I had to wear them without the toe piece for about a week because they were too tight. I ended up returning them here, and Backcountry.com has the best return policy ever!
Go where you want
- Familiarity:I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Got these for my girlfriend, wears size 6 in most shoes, size 6 fits great. Comfortable, durable, and look good. Only drawback are the straps, they can be a pain to move around to get them in the right position, and they do slip from time to time. But when they are in place they are really comfortable.

Do you all carry any chacos in a wide size?
Not that I have found. Chaco as a brand does fit a bit on the wider side though.

Chaco Z/2 Yampa Sandal - Women's
Best Chacos yet!
I have Chacos in every sole (except the updraft, because I think they're lame) and almost every webbing style and the Z2 Yampa is my favorite by far! Super light and comfy, no break in time, no toe loop tightening, more comfortable than my ZX2s and more supportive than my Z1s.
I just bought these and I am having a hard time with the toe loop tightening. Icontacted the company and they suggested putting them in the washing machine to remove some of the waxyness. The right shoe seems to be better but the left is driving me crazy. Any suggestions?
Sometimes it just takes some adjusting to get the webbing to where it is comfortable... On the Chaco website there is a video that explains how to loosen (and tighten) the straps. In my personal opinion, the best way to get them to fit just right is to get them a little dirty. Chaconian at heart.
can't decide between the Yampa or the...
can't decide between the Yampa or the Unaweep. Can anyone tell me the main difference, please? I have lots of joint issues, prefer a less clunky/ heavy shoe. Thank you
The Unaweep is heavy more then the yampa...but can live longer. the yampa is less to slip
You need to know if HEAVY is not good to your joints. if yes dont take the Unaweep
Ryan Guay, Vendor Rep
Go with the Yampa outsole. Most ladies prefer the lightness, and I feel they will last just as long..
it would be silly NOT to get a pair.
I love these! I'm a Chaco fan. I have a pair of Wrapsody and love them, and these are that much greater. Chacos form to your foot, making a custom pair of comfortable shoes. It's all I ever wear anymore. I have bad joints and my Chaco's help tremendously. If you're going to buy a pair of shoes, it would be silly not to buy Chaco's.

GOSHEN – After four years as the head of the North Oldham High School boys' basketball program, Danny Edelen is moving on.
Edelen resigned Monday.
"It's time to move on to the next challenge," Edelen said.
Edelen posted a 60-53 record as the NOHS coach with his team going 20-9 and winning the district title in the 2007-08 season. NOHS went to three regional tourneys during Edelen's tenure.
The Mustangs finished a turbulent 12-16 year Feb. 4 with a first-round regional tourney loss to Shelby County.
Several Oldham County students were named to the dean's list at Bluegrass Community and Technical College for the fall semester.

In February, Oldham County Judge-Executive Duane Murner learned of a Hatch Act violation in Kenton County, where the deputy judge-executive is a candidate for county judge-executive.
Gish, a longtime magistrate representing District 1, was appointed by Murner to serve as deputy judge-executive and has served in that role since January 2007.

Star Trek/Star Wars have switched places!

Star Trek/Star Wars have switched places!
So in the 90s Trek books to had play with their toys and then put everything back in the box like they found it, while the Star Wars EU was free to do basically whatever they wanted because post-RotJ was never going to be explored in the films.
Now the sequel trilogy is going to invalidate a vast swath of the EU, and future tie ins will have to tread lightly to avoid being contradicted in a future film. At the same time post-Nemesis Star Trek is a free for all that will almost certainly never be contradicted by future canon. And the movie producers are working to make sure all their tie-ins are in continuity with the films, basically mimicking the effect of the claimed 'official-ness' of the old Star Wars EU.
I know the details aren't exactly the same, and that I'm simplifying to suit my comparison, but basically the tie-in continuity situations of Trek/Wars have now switched places!

My Kindle Fire 2 was flashed a while back with a stock version of Android Jellybean 4.2.2, until today. I made a complete backup of everything inside TWRP and transferred all of those backup files to my laptop. I then flashed a newer version of TWRP, version 188.8.131.52. After that, i flashed the newest version of Cyanogenmod 11, Android 4.4.4.
Anyways, I got to adjusting the settings and told it to allow me to pick between rebooting into recovery or normal mode when i pressed the reboot button on the power menu.
Here is my problem though. At one point, I told Cyanogenmod to reboot me into recovery, and ever since, my Kindle will only let me boot into the TWRP recovery area, regardless of what I tell it to load in the bootloader.
How can I just get it to boot to the normal OS? I've tried reflashing the recovery and reflashing Cyanogenmod onto it. I just don't know what to do because I don't know exactly why this is happening.
I've tried wiping the /data partition too, but to no use. I still am able to wipe internal data partition, however I don't know how it will respond to that. I mean... Isn't that where TWRP is stored? I don't want to lose my recovery partition where I have no way to get back.
If it comes to it, could I replace my recovery partition with Cyanogenmod?
I am still able to use ADB and I'm able to push files. (So far)

Which people over time have had the greatest influence on baby names? We've collected the top dozen individuals who've inspired millions of namesakes, often in unexpected ways. Sometimes it was an actual name that went viral; in other cases these people set off a wider-ranging trend. Here, the greatest baby name influencers of all time:
JEFFERSON -- There probably were some 18th century kids named Washington Williams or Adams Adcock, but it was with the third president that namesaking after the Commander-in-Chief would became a lasting tradition. Jefferson has been consistently on the bestseller list, while Jackson is the current top ex-Prez name at Number 25. Of course Jefferson was helped by its attractive nickname Jeff--much better than Wash.
SHIRLEY -- During the Great Depression, sunny Shirley Temple, with her golden ringlets and dimply smile, almost single-handedly lifted the spirits of the American people. No wonder other parents wanted a little Shirley of their own -- making it not surprising that in 1935 alone there were 42,000+ baby Shirleys born -- a tipping point moment in the history of celebrity influence on names.
LINDA -- Though Linda Darnell was not a huge star on the scale of a Joan Crawford or Rita Hayworth, her name had an impact way beyond her celebrity status. Linda was the name that, in 1947, succeeded in knocking Mary -- the top girls' name since time immemorial -- out of first place and launched a Mary popularity backlash that continues to this day.
DYLAN -- Dylan, the Welsh name of a legendary sea god, was so unusual when poet Dylan Thomas was born in 1914 that many people even in Wales didn't know how to pronounce it. But its recognition spread with his fame, and after Robert Zimmerman adopted Dylan as his nom de musique in 1962, Dylan became even more prevalent, eventually becoming a Top 20 name.
MUHAMMAD ALI -- In 1964, when Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. joined the nation of Islam, he decided to drop his "slave name" in favor of the Muslim appellation Muhammad Ali, setting a path that many others would follow, including musicians like Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) and athletes like Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul Jabbar). With the success of the TV mini-series Roots in 1977, more African-Americans began to look into their ethnic and racial heritage for names reflecting their own roots, a practice that expanded to other hyphenated Americans rediscovering names that their Irish, Jewish, or Italian grandparents left in the Old Country.
CHER -- There may have been earlier celebs known only by their first names, but when Cherilyn Sarkisian lopped off most of her moniker, it paved the way for all the Oprahs, Vannas, Beyoncés, Adeles, Rihannas, Madonnas, and Shakiras to come. But this almost didn't happen -- Sonny and Cher released their first record as Caesar and Cleo.
LUCI -- In the late 1960s and into the70s, the coolest thing a girl could have was a shiny new name ending in 'I' -- Staci or Traci, Marci or Darci. This got the Presidential Seal of Approval when Lyndon Johnson and his family moved into the White House, including 16-year-old Luci, who had recently traded her birth-name spelling of Lucy to something more mod. Even more modern was Luci's Secret Service code name -- Venus.
MOON UNIT -- Frank Zappa proved to be a real Father of Invention when he named his first child Moon Unit, to be followed by Dweezil (birth certificate name Ian Donald Calvin Euclid), Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. Zappa's legacy continues with both celebrity babies from Bronx Mowgli to Moxie Crimefighter and non-starbabies with unique (and sometimes yooneek) names.
RYAN -- The 1970 movie (and best-selling novel) Love Story had a profound and lasting effect on baby naming, not only via the names of its lead characters, Jennifer and Oliver, but from that of its young star, Ryan (born Charles Patrick Ryan) O'Neal, who promoted both his own name and Irish names in general for Americans of all ethnicities. By 1974, Ryan was in the Top 25, where it has remained ever since, and opened the door to the brigade of Aidens, Liams, Connors, Rileys et al that followed.
MICHAEL -- Archangel name Michael has been well used forever, but the combined celebrity power of singer Jackson and super-athlete Jordan was instrumental in making and keeping it the Number 1 boys' name in the US for more than forty years. Both their last names soared as well: in 1997, Jordan was the Number 26 boys' name and Number 40 for girls, while Jackson is still in the Number 25 spot today.
DREW -- Barrymore came by her boyish surname name legitimately -- her Drew ancestors included some major figures in American theatrical history. But she - -along with Glenn Close, Daryl Hannah, Sean Young, Michael Learned and a few others -- were among the first to publicly gender-bend boys' names, to the point where today there are millions of little children named Avery and Rory and Quinn who might as easily be a boy or a girl.
JADEN -- When Jaden Smith was born in 1998, many people assumed his name was a subtle salute to mama Jada, as his sister Willow would be to father Will, few realizing it was an alternate spelling of the biblical Jadon. In any case, Jaden took off, not only engendering multiple spellings (Jadon, Jayden, Jaydon), but a huge family of rhyming cousins -- Brayden, Kaden, Caden, Kayden, Cayden, Kaiden (all in the current Top 200) and revivals of the more traditional Hayden and Aidan.

Superman and Batman to join forces with Islamic superheroes

1) Thousands of dead Americans tell me that Al-Q and the Taliban are more than "the boogeyman".
327 of the victims of the September 11th attack were non-Americans.
Over 60 of the victims were Muslims
, both American and otherwise. Al Qaeda's various terrorist actions around the world have killed over 1400 non-Americans, including hundreds of Muslims. Al Qaeda corrupts and violates Muslim principles, which explicitly forbid killing noncombatants, women, and children as well as fellow Muslims. They are traitors to their own professed faith.
Most of the people killed by the Taliban have been Afghanis or Pakistanis from rival factions, or Afghanis who were executed during the Taliban's reign. Again, they are a threat to Muslims, not just to Americans.
2) To ONLY portray Muslem metas as "heroes" is an implicit denial of reality. By most estimates, the extremist wahabbi element of Islam amounts to ~10% of the total Muslem population. By that percentage, at least 10 (9.9) of the "99" should be villains.
That's bigoted bullshit. Even if a fair percentage of rank-and-file Muslims are sympathetic to Wahhabist views, that doesn't mean they actually engage in terrorist acts. They're not "villains." They're ordinary people who have been misled by Wahhabist propaganda into thinking that Wahhabism is their only hope for a better life and that the West is an enemy that needs to be battled. Just as you've been misled by racist propaganda into accepting such a monstrously absurd and idiotic notion that fully ten percent of a population of over a billion people could be actively engaged in terrorism. Good grief, simple arithmetic proves how stupid that notion is. Muslims constitute nearly a fifth of the world's population of 6.9 billion, so 10% of Muslims would be nearly 140 million people. The total number of military personnel in the entire world
as of 2000
was less than 20 million. If seven times that many people were
involved in Islamic militancy, they would've conquered the whole damn planet by now!
Terrorist groups consist of small numbers of people in decentralized cells. Al Qaeda isn't even really a single organization, just a common rallying cry for various independent extremist groups. It's been estimated that their active "membership" is under a thousand people. Even most of the people who've gone through Qaeda training camps don't actually swear allegiance to the cause.
You want villains, look at the government of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi regime has ruthlessly oppressed, disenfranchised, and impoverished its people for decades, and in order to divert the people's rage and frustration away from themselves, they've aggressively backed the Wahhabist movement and encouraged anti-American sentiments, making us into a scapegoat. Al Qaeda would never have amounted to anything without the Saudi government's support, and the Saudi people would never have been angry or poor or desperate enough to turn to extremism without their government's oppression. And this is a government that America treats as an ally because we need their oil.
Don't blame the common people of the Islamic world for the oppression and lies of their leaders. These are people who have been manipulated and misled by a corrupt few into believing that the West is to blame for all their problems (when in fact we're only partly to blame) and that we're trying to conquer and destroy their civilization. They're not villains, they're victims.
Besides, your argument makes no sense. The 99 are meant to be representatives of the
of Islamic philosophy. One in 15 Americans have gone to prison, but does that mean that if the Justice League has 30 members, two of them should be villains? Hero teams represent the best of their societies. That's what makes them heroes.

AMC has announced very good news and very bad news regarding The Walking Dead.
First, the very good: the drama will return on October 16 with a 90-minute episode.
Now, for the less than very good: after airing six consecutive episodes, the show will take a lengthy hiatus and then return on February 12 to finish off the season.
This does, however, does guarantee no confusing interruptions from week to week. A pair of six-episodes stints of zombie killing and survivor drama? I'll take it.
For more scoop on season two, visit our section of The Walking Dead spoilers.
