Crawfordville, Florida - August 22, 2012
A third suspect was arrested in connection with a Tuesday, Aug. 14 armed robbery in Crawfordville, according to Wakulla County Sheriff Donnie Crum.
The arrest brings the total to three Crawfordville men arrested in connection with a marijuana sale that went bad.
Jacob Heath Kemp, 21, of Crawfordville was arrested and charged with armed robbery with a firearm, grand theft of a firearm and aggravated assault in the case.
Detectives with the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office and members of the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force were searching for their suspect on Thursday, Aug. 16 after Gary Angelo Simmons, Jr., 22, and Lyntonio Ivan Bowdry, 19, were arrested on Aug. 15.
[Image]Late in the afternoon, law enforcement officials spotted Kemp on the east side of Sam Smith Circle in northeast Wakulla County and chased the suspect on foot for approximately one-half mile before Kemp was apprehended on nearby Field Loop.
The suspect is accused of being involved in the theft of an 18-year-old Crawfordville teenager's firearm and backpack, an incident that was originally reported as a residential burglary. The victim later admitted to law enforcement that he was actually attempting to sell marijuana to the three suspects.
Two search warrants were executed at Crawfordville locations and detectives discovered a plastic bag containing 10 grams of marijuana and two separate pistols used in the crime.
Simmons, Bowdry and Kemp are all being held in the Wakulla County Jail with no bond.
Crawfordville, Florida - August 16, 2012
Wakulla County Sheriff's Office detectives have made two arrests in connection with an Aug. 14 armed robbery following an attempted marijuana sale that went bad, according to Sheriff Donnie Crum.
Gary Angelo Simmons, Jr., 22, of Crawfordville was charged with robbery with a firearm and grand theft. Lyntonio Ivan Bowdry, 19, of Crawfordville was charged with robbery with a firearm.
An 18-year-old Crawfordville victim originally reported the case as a residential burglary, but later admitted to investigators that he lost the firearm, currency and personal property during the armed robbery incident which involved the sale of marijuana.
The victim met the suspects in the Bethel section of Crawfordville at which time Simmons pointed a handgun at the victim and a second suspect grabbed the victim's gun and backpack. Simmons allegedly pointed a gun to the head of the victim and threatened to kill him. Simmons and the second suspect ran to Bowdry's vehicle and left the scene.
The victim followed Bowdry's vehicle back to Crawfordville where the two vehicles stopped on Wakulla Arran Road and Simmons pointed a firearm at the victim again. The victim stopped following the suspects for fear of being killed and reported the theft of 17 grams of marijuana, $205, his driver license and a .32 caliber semi-automatic handgun.
On Aug. 15, detectives interviewed Bowdry and charged him with one count of robbery with a firearm for his involvement in the case.
A search warrant was served at the home of Simmons on Aug. 15 and detectives located a plastic bag containing 10 grams of marijuana and two separate pistols used in the crime. Simmons and Bowdry were transported to the Wakulla County Jail without incident.
An additional arrest warrant has been requested for the third suspect in the case. He will be charged with armed robbery with a firearm and grand theft. A second search warrant was served Aug. 15 at his home where items linking him to the crime were also found. Detectives are in the process of locating the final suspect.
Simmons is being held in the Wakulla County Jail with no bond. Bowdry's bond information is incomplete.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - With each passing victory, the pressure and bullseye on Union Local's back grows.
The Jets, who feature just one senior in their seven-man rotation, have met all challenges head on and successfully thus far.
That trend continued Tuesday evening inside a jam-packed and electric St. Clairsville High School where the state's top-ranked Division III squad handed the Red Devils their first home loss since 2010 and spoiled senior night with a 46-34 victory.
"I thought we played really well in the second and third quarters," Union Local head coach Ben Porter said. "This was a good basketball game with a great atmosphere and we may get to do it again."
The victory not only gave Union Local, which is 17-0, the season sweep against the Red Devils, but it also wrapped up the top seed in next week's Class 4A Wheeling Hospital OVAC Boys Basketball Championship.
"It's nice to be the top seed, but we have a lot of goals to accomplish yet," Porter said. "This time of year is when every game takes on additional meaning. It's really nice to be where we are, but we want to keep going."
Because Martins Ferry's game with Indian Creek wasn't played due to the weather, the Red Devils are expected to qualify as the fourth seed, creating a third matchups between the rivals next Tuesday in Morristown. The official pairings were set to be released this morning.
"Hopefully, we get another chance (to play Union Local)," St. Clairsville coach Kim Clifford said. "It's in the basketball God's hands as to whether or not we get that chance, but we'll make some adjustments, come out and play hard."
Along with the OVAC Tournament, the victory also locked up the Buckeye 8 title for the Jets.
"Any time you can win a (league) championship, it's exciting," Porter said. "That was one of our goals, but now we have to get focused on Bellaire on Thursday."
Before any thought could be given to the OVAC, Buckeye 8 or the Big Reds, the Jets had to deal with a hostile environment and a Red Devils team that normally plays and shoots exceptionally well on John Jenkins Court.
After the Red Devils owned an 11-6 lead after the first quarter, St. C. extended the margin to 17-10 on a bucket by freshman Michael Scarnecchia.
From there, the Jets shifted gears.
Union Local closed the half on a 10-0 run, which was fueled by sophomore point guard Kaleb McDiffitt, who scored in a myriad of ways en route to 11 points. He hit two floaters and a trey during the run in the second.
The Jets didn't stop there, but they did it more on the defensive end where their zone truly bothered St.C. The Devils scored only 17 points in the entire second half and six in the fourth.
"By playing zone, you're taking chances against St. Clairsville because if they're hitting their 3s, you could be in trouble," Porter said. "They didn't shoot well, but on a different night, it could be a different outcome. Who knows?"
In between, the Devils misfired on numerous good looks at the bucket. St. Clairsville didn't shoot well from the perimeter, but it also missed some easier chances on the interior as well.
"I really though we got good shots," Clifford said. "Our guys shot the shots that they can make, but they just didn't make them, and it's as simple as that."
While the Devils were clanging shots off the rim, the Jets made the most of their opportunities. Trenton Tipton buried a pair of treys and talented junior Gavin Porter made good on both of his attempts in the third as the Jets extended their lead to 37-28 at the final stop.
The Jets got a conventional three-point play from senior Eric Dunfee and held St. C. to just two field goals in the entire fourth.
"When you shoot as poorly as we did on your home court ... bad things are going to happen," Clifford said. "We'll chalk it up to experience and we'll move on."
Once again, the Jets were balanced in the scoring column. McDiffitt and Tipton led the way with 11 each. Porter closed with nine, while 6-7 junior pivot Colten McKivitz added seven points and 12 rebounds.
The Devils, meanwhile, were led by senior Joel Giffin, who had nine points. Scarnecchia scored seven before fouling out.
Union Local held 32-23 edge on the glass. The Jets overcame eight turnovers, which was two more than the hosts.
Both teams have plenty more action this week. St. C. visits Harrison Central this evening in a varsity only encounter at 7:30, while Union Local hosts Bellaire and John Marshall on Thursday and Friday, respectively. The meeting with the Big Reds is a varsity only game and will follow the UL girls' game against Wheeling Park.
St. Clairsville managed a split by prevailing in the reserve game.

Tribute to a Mountain Lion, Burcham, D'Antonis
TWO OF THE best teams in the history of high school basketball in the Kanawha Valley were the Charleston High Mountain Lion teams in the 1972-73 and 1973-74 seasons. Under the direction of Lou Romano, those teams won back-to-back AAA state titles, defeating Parkersburg 76-56 in 1973 and Logan 81-74 in 1974.
Last weekend, one of the starters on the 1974 team, Curtis Cabell, passed away in Urbana, Ohio. The starting lineup in 1974 was Lowell Harris and Ameche Watson at guards, Cabell and Sam Brooks at forward and Mike Jones at center. John Britton was the sixth man.
All went on to play college basketball. Cabell and Mike Jones both signed with Gale Catlett and Cincinnati, Brooks signed with Louisville, Harris with Kings College in Tennessee, Watson with West Virginia Tech and Britton with Akron.
Cabell was a junior high phenom at Dunbar. His mother taught at Charleston High and he went to Charleston Catholic to play as a sophomore. He then transferred to Charleston High but had to sit out his junior season of 1972-73. He then took the place of graduated Dennis Harris the next year as the Mountain Lions won another state title
"Curt was an incredible leaper and athlete," recalled Watson this week. "He was also a very skilled player and had a great mid-range jumper. He was also one of the nicest guys you would ever meet.
"I do recall one funny incident from his time at Cincinnati. Coach Catlett put him in a game against Louisville and when Curt went to the scoring table he was so excited that he pulled too hard on his warm-up pants. The warm-up up pants and his shorts both came down, leaving Curt's backside exposed. After that, folks at Cincinnati started calling him Reverend Moon after Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a national figure in the news at that time."
Those Charleston teams will not be forgotten by many area fans. Here's hoping Curtis Cabell will be remembered today.
Reportedly, the top four schools on his list right now are Stanford, Colorado, Wisconsin and, surprisingly, Kentucky. UK climbed into the Burcham sweepstakes after hiring former Stanford coach Edrick Floreal in July.
In the case of one of one of our state's greatest high school coaching legends, Lewis D'Antoni of Mullens, that ball has taken him from every small gym in southern West Virginia to major NBA arenas and to international and Olympic Games wound the world.
D'Antoni is the father of two of our state's greatest point guards, Danny and Mike D'Antoni, who both starred at Marshall and have had long coaching careers in the NBA. Mike just helped lead Team USA to another Gold Medal in Olympic basketball.
Lewis D'Antoni was a high school coaching legend at Pineville, Mullens and Chesapeake, Ohio, for 28 seasons, compiling a record of 450-200. He won a state title at Mullens in 1955 coaching future WVU star and Logan coaching legend Willie Akers, future Virginia Tech star Terry Penn and future Marshall football coach Rick Tolley.
Not many have had as amazing a life and journey in basketball as Lewis D'Antoni. He will be 99 years old on Dec. 31 and, amazingly, he played golf up until two years ago.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Jurgen Klinsmann's reckoning as U.S.
national team coach is fast approaching, which can only mean only thing: the
Hexagonal of World Cup qualifying is upon us.
The United States have made their way to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, to kick off
the Hex, and so begins the meaty part of Klinsmann's tenure with the American
national team, which has been triumphant, mediocre or calamitous to this
point, depending on who you ask.
The exuberant German assumed his position at the helm of the national team in
2011, a release from the status quo of U.S. coaches who preceded him.
Everything he has done since being appointed by U.S. Soccer president Sunil
Gulati has been building to this next set of matches as Klinsmann gets set for
a new chapter in the novel that is his career.
In the preface to Klinsmann's tale, the United States jumped onto the radar of
the world's elite with a monumental run to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World
Cup under Bruce Arena, but that gave way to dreadful outing four years later
that saw the Americans score just twice (one of which came from an own goal)
and claim just one point from group play.
To juxtapose the floundering Americans, Klinsmann reinvented the German
national team with the infusion of techniques never before seen in modern
football. He implemented the use of psychologists and fitness experts and
ushered in a youth movement that helped the Germans finish third in the 2006
World Cup, all while getting his side to play an entertaining brand of
Klinsmann enjoyed a short hiatus before signing up to coach Bayern Munich in
2008, while the United States retooled for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Bayern's massive expectations were not met by Klinsmann and he was relieved of
his coaching duties before the conclusion of the season.
Meanwhile, the U.S. squad, despite some thrilling drama in the group stage,
fizzled out of South Africa in the first round of the knockout stage in a loss
to Ghana.
What followed was a pivotal position for Klinsmann and U.S. Soccer. The German
relocated to California with his wife and flirted with U.S. Soccer about a
host of changes, wanting to instill a nation-wide, top-to-bottom philosophy in
education, coaching and development to take American soccer to the next level.
The pair finally came to terms in July 2011 and Klinsmann was handed not only
the keys to the U.S. car, but also the deed to the auto shop.
Klinsmann's 18 months in charge of the national team have been up and down.
For every sublime win against a world power (1-0 defeat of Italy in a friendly
on Feb. 29, 2012), there has been a head-scratching result that inspires doubt
regarding whether any ground has been made (2-1 loss at Jamaica on Sep. 7,
The United States made it to the Hex, but a draw in Guatemala and a loss in
Jamaica made the journey more difficult than it should have been.
While it is still too early to judge Klinsmann's impact on youth development,
now would be the ideal time for the German to deliver on consistent play and
positive results against tough opponents.
The climax of Klinsmann's U.S. story undoubtedly will be the 2014 World Cup in
Brazil, but there is no guarantee the Americans will even qualify.
The Hex, the "rising action: of the novel, looks quite difficult, especially
out of the gate. The U.S. squad opens up in San Pedro Sula, which was the most
violent city in the world in 2011, according to a study from Mexico's Civic
Council on Public Security and Criminal Justice. The clash against a hard-nose
Honduras side is just the tip of the iceberg as the U.S. squad will follow it
up with a home match against Costa Rica and road tilts in Mexico and Jamaica.
And our protagonist is well aware of potential complications.
"Going into World Cup qualifiers, there are not only the expectations and the
pressure that you've got to qualify no matter what," he told U.S. Soccer's
official website. "There's also a sense of don't let things slip through your
hands, get the job done as early as possible, don't waste any opportunity
right from the beginning.
"One of our key messages to the players is to have that sense of urgency to go
into Honduras and give them a fight and go for three points. We aren't
calculating anything. We want to go in there and start getting points with
urgency because that builds more confidence for the next games. This is really
important that the players understand that it's not going to be easy. It's
World Cup qualifiers and if you want to go to Brazil, be ready for it right
The U.S. certainly has the quality to get through the Hex. In fact, it is
widely expected. And it is precisely that expectation that makes the Hex the
amuse-bouche to the main course of the World Cup. It is the rising action that
will transform into the climax in just over one year's time.
Klinsmann is in a position to ultimately act out his own legacy as coach of
the U.S. national team. A deep run in the 2014 World Cup will see him instantly
reach hero status among American soccer enthusiasts. Get bounced from the
opening round or fail to qualify, he'll be cast the villain.
Anything in between and we're most likely looking at a sequel for the 2018
World Cup in Russia.

Oh, Richie. I have the funniest story about how, in my mind, I helped Kim win the USO!ReplyDelete
It was the first few days of the USO. Kim was being interviewed by either the Tennis Channel or ESPN. Her group was very small, maybe her husband and manager or coach?, and they were standing off to one side. Close to them was me and a group of outcasts (reporters, physios, etc.) and we were having a discussion about all the grunting the women do. I hate it and was making my feelings known on the subject. I have always loved Kim, so I turned to her group and told them I hoped Kim and Serena would meet and Kim would take it to Serena with a "I pushed a baby out. That all you got?" response to her grunting. Actually, I didn't tell them, as much as I said it loudly in their direction. So when Kimmie was beating Serena, I naturally convinced myself it was all my doing!
I can't even take credit for coming up with the quote. A friend of mine mentioned it to me back when we first heard Kim was making a comeback. She said she hoped their first meeting would be at the USO, too, and that came true! :)
Sorry to all you Serena fans. But I really hate the grunting!

I'm really thrilled for her. I hope she takes it to the one who said "she was a little bit scared to beat me" when she returns and sends her back to dancing, singing,UNICEF, perfecting signals with Carlos, man-hunting .. whatever she was doing.
Sorry Henin fans, I'll be glad when she's gone and she's not even back yet.

Ooooooo...harder, harder!
Anon & Rich,
I know I have 0% to do with Kim's victory. But in my mind, when she heard I believed in her, she knew she could do anything. BTW, this is the same mind that believes Tommy Haas is going to develop a thing for WAY older yoga teachers and demand to sleep with me. Srsly, I'm keeping line one on my phone open, Tommy!
"Now more juice! We want the juice!!"
Ask. If I can answer, I will.
Oh yes, and Maite? You can marry him, but the rest of us want to ravage him. ;)
natch: Heh. Well, let me start it off. I want juice on the boys - Nole, Muzz, Kiefer (QT!), any of the Armada. Juicy juice!!!ReplyDelete
Nole is hilarious. A bit spoiled, I think, but who doesn't think that? But I loved trading jokes with him. Believe it or not, I rarely ran into Andy and his bunch. I saw them practice often...and ALWAYS zoned in on Ross! (Except he wasn't always with them.) Nic is hotter in person than he appears on tv. I ran into the entire Armada at dinner one night, but I can't say a whole lot about it, except that I embarrassed two of them and got a hug from one of them by embarrassing the other two. So it was win/win for me! :) Oh yes, and Uncle Toni? WAY hot.ReplyDelete

As the oldest American boat brand in continuous production, the Rinker Boat Company has quite a story to tell. From our humble beginnings out of Lossie Rinker's workshop on the White River in Indiana to today when we're exporting boats to more than 40 countries, we build with pride, craftsmanship and the desire to be the best value in the industry.
At the request of many of our loyal customers and dealers across the country and around the globe, here's a look back at some of the Rinker Boat Company milestones through the years. We are proud to remain true to our Midwestern heritage, and we are thankful for all of our Rinker owners throughout the years who have chosen to share some of their family's most treasured memories with us.
• In the 1930s, dairy farmer Lossie "L.E." Rinker starts building fishing — and, later, racing boats —out of his workshop on the White River in Indiana. His sons, Jan and John, soon joined their father to build and race their own boats. After serving their country during the Korean War, the boys returned to Indiana to resume their boat-building careers, eventually founding the company Rinkerbuilt in Syracuse, Indiana. Rinkers are still built in Syracuse today.
• In 1945, the company's first racing brand called Famous Craft is born.
• In 1958, Rinkerbuilt introduces fiberglass in the manufacturing process – long before most competitors — along with innovations such as multiple gelcoat colors and back-to-back seating.
• A classic 1968 Rinkerbuilt brochure of the ROAMER 16. Also in 1968, Rinkerbuilt goes international, shipping 14 boats to Sweden.
• Throughout the 1970s, Rinkerbuilt rolls out new runabout designs. The signature 20-degree Deep-V runabout hulls grow to 20 feet.
• The most popular of all 1970-era designs is the 15- & 17-foot tri-hull. Every fiberglass manufacturer had a tri-hull, and Rinkerbuilt was one of the first! The boats were offered with both outboard and the new automotive-inspired inboard/outboard.
• The 1980s bring a new name ("built" is dropped as the suffix), new logo, and new designs, as the now-40-year old company continues to grow. The first Rinker Fiesta Vee 255 Cruiser is introduced in 1988, which establishes Rinker as a cruiser builder.
• Rinker turns 50 years old in 1995, and the Rinker Fiesta Vee line includes some of the most popular express cruisers in the world. The Rinker Captiva line is expanded and some models, such as the Captiva 232 and 236 become popular "go-fast" boats with big-block motors and exhilarating performance.
• Nautic Global Group becomes the parent company of Rinker in 2005, providing the capital, purchasing power and manufacturing efficiencies to take the company into the future. An entirely new generation of cruisers is introduced, and Rinker becomes the first sterndrive boat builder to offer a wake tower and watersports packages on its sportboats.
• In 2012, Rinker continues to roll out the next generation of Captiva Sportboats and Express Cruisers. Beginning with the Captiva 216 bowrider in 2011 and now with the incredible all-new Rinker 290 Express Cruiser, you see more innovative designs and a renewed focus on offering the unquestioned best-value and highest quality in the industry.
Throughout the years, Rinker has always had focused on performance, rugged construction, and giving you the best value on the water. Here's to another 67 years of pursuing our dream of helping you enjoy the precious time you have with your family on the water. From our family to yours…thank you.

On CSR (Scout), anyway.
Cyclone Sports Report has just learned that Hutchinson (KS) Community College linebacker Jacob Lattimer has committed to Iowa State.
Go Cyclones!
Lattimer..........The Program anyone?? Hopefully he's nuttier than squirrel schmitz like in the movie. (minus the roids)
Jacob Lattimer - Football Recruiting
Looks like linebacker just got a lot better.
Looks to have good size and OK speed.
Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?
If his size is accurate, I really like that.
Awesome commit. Nice work PR and company.
How many years of eligibility?
why would a player like this take so long to commit if he is eligable to play this fall?
Led his team in tackles with 97 and also had 26 TFL.
Maybe he can get to the QB on a blitz up the middle.

Odd to pick up a 2009 commit this late in the game. What was the holdup with him??
Gotta assume academics and weren't sure if he would qualify.

He has 4 years to play 3.
Thanks everyone for the info!
Now who is rumored to be leaving?

New Android apps worth downloading: Foursquare and Yahoo! Sports updates, Despicable Me: Minion Rush
We've got a pair of updates leading the charge on today's apps worth downloading list. First is an update to Foursquare, the social location app, which makes its search function even more functional. Also on the list is Yahoo! Sports, which was formerly known as Sportacular and has received a big update to bring users even more sports information and news. Finally, Despicable Me: Minion Rush brings some new ideas to the runner genre to tie in with the new Despicable Me film.
Foursquare update (Free)
What's it about? Check-in app Foursquare makes a game out of visiting places, rewarding users who frequent different stores and locations with deals and allowing them to share where they've been.
What's cool? Foursquare is best when experienced with friends. The app lets you check in to various locations like restaurants and stores, and allows you to share where you've been and see where your friends have been. You can get information and recommendations about locations from the app, as well as coupons and deals, especially for the places you frequent most often. Foursquare also allows you to share where you're going to make meeting up with friends easier. The latest update to the app makes its "Explore" feature even easier to use, allowing you to search for places near you through a variety of criteria, including distance, price and specials.
Who's it for? Social networking fans, Foursquare lets you turn leaving your house into a connected experience that can also save you money.
What's it like? Facebook also has a check-in system that lets you share where you are with friends, and you can get more deals through Groupon.
Yahoo! Sports update (Free)
What's it about? Get all kinds of sports news from Yahoo! Sports, which has just gotten a slick new redesign in its latest update.
What's cool? Packed with information on all sorts of different sports comes Yahoo! Sports, which formerly was known as Sportacular. The app lets you follow your favorite teams in just about any sport you can think of, and brings live scores, statistics, news and standings from everything from the NHL to pro golf. The app pulls news links from a number of sources to help you stay connected, and with its latest update, it adds a full new redesign to make it easier to use.
Who's it for? Sports junkies, this one's for you.
What's it like? Check out The Score and ScoreCenter for lots more sports information.
Despicable Me: Minion Rush (Free)
What's it about? Tying in with the upcoming new Despicable Me film, Minion Rush is a running title that mixes up the conventions of the genre.
What's cool? The conceit of most games in the runner genre is that players generally spend the entire game seeing the action from a specific angle as their character runs. Minion Rush changes up the runner genre by moving the camera to a number of angles, which in many ways makes the title feel like it includes multiple games in one. You'll need to avoid enemies and obstacles as you move through the game's 3-D world, as well as try to gather bananas for your minions' benefit. You can customize costumes, and unlock bonus levels and secret areas along the way as well.
Who's it for? Fans of Despicable Me and the runner genre should check out Minion Rush for the new things it brings to the genre.
What's it like? Try Iron Man 3 and One Epic Knight for two more games with interesting takes on the same genre as Minion Rush.

The Union Butterfield 1528(UNC)/1528(UNF)/1528(UNS) uncoated, high-speed steel hand threading tap has straight flutes and a round shank with a square end, and is used to create machine-screw sized right-hand threads in a range of materials. It is available in three different ANSI thread specification standards: UNC (Unified Coarse), UNF (Unified Fine), or UNS (Unified Special). The straight flutes are suitable for threading through holes (extending through the workpiece) and blind or bottoming holes (with only one opening). Machine-screw sizes are used frequently in many industries and products.
Right-hand threads are designed to tighten when the head or nut is rotated clockwise (the most common threading direction). High-speed steel (HSS) is a common general-purpose steel for cutting tools and is compatible with a variety of materials. With no coating or surface treatment, this uncoated tool can be used on a broad range of materials and provides an economical alternative to coated tools. The round shank with square end makes it suitable for hand or power-driven applications. This tool can be used in machines, such as drill presses or lathes, or with hand tools such as tap wrenches.
In the Union Butterfield 1528(UNC) series, taps that are machine-screw size 1 have two flutes; sizes 2 through 6 are available in two or three flutes; sizes 8 and 10 are available with two, three, or four flutes; and size 12 has 4 flutes. In the 1528(UNF) series, taps that are sizes 0 and 1 have two flutes; sizes 2, 3, and 4 have three flutes; sizes 5 and 6 are available in two and three flutes; size 8 has four flutes; size 10 is available in two, three, and four flutes; and size 12 has four flutes. UB 1528(UNS) taps are available in size 4, with three flutes. Taps in these series are available with a variety of chamfers. This tap conforms to ANSI standards and can create threads to a depth 1 ½ times its diameter. It is suitable for ANSI 2B and 3B tolerance classes: 2B is an average quality fit for commercial and industrial fasteners; 3B produces close-tolerance fasteners that resist loosening, as in aerospace applications.
Taps produce internal threads in previously formed holes and can be used in machines (such as drill presses) or with hand tools. Common types of taps include hand taps, spiral point taps, spiral flute taps, thread forming taps, and pipe taps. Hand taps (straight-flute taps) collect chips in the straight flutes of the tool; spiral point taps push chips through holes ahead of the tool; and spiral flute taps pull chips back from the tip of the tool, up and out the hole. Thread forming taps, also known as cold forming taps, press rather than cut to create threads in a drilled hole, and no chips are created. Pipe taps create threads in pipes and pipe fittings. Each thread type designates a thread profile and each type is identified with an abbreviation. In the U.S. and Canada, the Unified Thread Standard is the dominant thread type, including UNC (Unified Coarse), UNF (Unified Fine), and NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads, among others.
Precision Dormer manufactures cutting tools under the following brands: Precision Twist, Dormer, and Union Butterfield. The company has locations around the world, and provides tools adhering to ANSI, NAS, and DIN standards.

Sure looks like it. Several sites have recent reports on this.....reportedly for Rs. 160,000 in India......which is about US $3000. It will be interesting to see what they want for it here. http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/royal-enfields-2013-cafe-racer/21716.html
The bike looks a lot like the early pictures. Motor is 535cc. Paoli shocks not Olins but they look good and should work better then anything used now. Seat height is a bit high about 32" I believe, but it's narrow so that helps. Weighs about 40 pounds less then the C5. Seating position is not so demanding as modern sportbikes. The bars aren't to low and the pegs aren't to high. A little on the small side if your much over 6 feet. They are keeping the price less then a grand more then the C5, but at this time no set price. The bike really is beautiful, unfortunately we won't see them on show floors for a few months. I don't have a picture to post yet but I'll work on that.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities say they will notify witnesses and family members that an 86-year-old suspect in a deadly hospital shooting will be freed from jail on bond while he awaits trial on a murder charge.
Charles Gorrell was granted bond after a hastily called court hearing on Wednesday. Defense lawyer William Sussman said his client's health is rapidly deteriorating and he might soon die in jail if he's held there. Sussman said Gorrell has lost 32 pounds, and has been treated at a hospital numerous times since his arrest last month.
Gorrell is accused of killing his nephew, 59-year-old Tim Grooms of Lincolnton, in a room on the seventh floor of University Hospital on Oct. 16. Authorities say the shooting stemmed from a family dispute.

Miracle on Ice
Neither- this was (enter event)
What was more memorable:
Miracle On Ice America's greatest sports achievement of the 20th century. It may just be the single most indelible moment in all of U.S. sports history, said Sports Illustrated of Team USA's improbable gold medal run at the 1980 Winter Olympics. One that sent an entire nation into a frenzy. American hockey came of age on February 22, 1980, when the young Americans took down the mighty Red Machine from the USSR.
The men's 400 x 100 meter this year in Beijing after the Frenchies said that they will beat them hands down
Definitely the hockey team from 1980.

Don't confuse hope for a plan.
The hockey game was more dramatic for sure...mostly due to the political situation in the world at the time (a situation that is starting to look very familiar unfortunately)! Everything USSR at that time meant BAD!
Hockey, but man, that was cool last night.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
That race last night was amazing. But it isn't in the same league as the Miracle on Ice. That was huge on so many different levels on top of the actual hockey game. The stories of the guys that played that game were what America is all about. Best sports story ever.

Watch the movie and you will get the gravity of this. It was in the middle of the cold war, and was the best players in the world vs a bunch of college kids. Think of it as ISU vs the original dream team type underdogs.

Go watch the movie Miracle. It will give you a good idea of what happened with the hockey team.
As a swimming fan, I'd love to say the relay, but it isn't even close IMO.
The hockey game, and it's not even close.
I'm not dissing the 400m IM team whatsoever - it was an amazing accomplishment. However, I find it hard to call something the greatest upset of all time when:
1. our team only has arguably the best swimmer in the world on that team (whereas all-amateur Olympic hockey team beat an all-pro Soviet hockey team that had just got done laying the wood to the NHL All-Stars months before the Olympics)
2. I believe we were expected to walk away with at least the bronze, if not the silver medal (the hockey team I believe wasn't necessarily expected to even make it to the medal round, much less even score a bronze).
The 400m IM will go down as a group of Americans embarrassing a group of French ******** (which is always fun, but isn't all that rare). The hockey team, on the other hand, is when an entire nation got behind a group of 20 kids and that group of kids stuck it to an arch rival that was much more talented than us.

Better than the Miracle on Ice??
I'm old......I had the remarkable luck to see both. Both were amazing, but my dad is a huge hockey fan, and as we watched that game (I was 10), my dad explained to me how unlikely it would be for the US to win. It was just incredible to see and still gives me chills to this day when I see a clip of the end.
The 400 was more memorable for me, because I was... ya know... alive for it.
The Kari Strugg thing was pretty darn memorable too, especially for us that were a little young or unborn for the Miricle on Ice. I think everyone has that image of Bela Karoyli carrying her off the matt permanently stored in their head... and of course the SNL spoofs with Chris Kataan.

Starbucks® Muan Jai™ Blend
We created our first blend featuring Thai coffee to celebrate the exceptional quality of beans grown in the hills of northern Thailand. Peppery, full-bodied and balanced with lingering earthy spiciness, this coffee represents the best of the region, and our farm-direct purchasing promotes the economic well-being of those who grow it. In the dialect of hill tribe farmers "muan jai" means wholehearted happiness—a sense of pride you'll taste in every cup. Available only in its origin country and exclusively in the US online at Starbucks Store.
Did You Know?
This coffee debuted as a Thailand exclusive in 2003. Muan Jai means "wholehearted happiness" in Kum-Mueang, a language of northern Thailand. The Thai component of this coffee is produced by coffee farmers from the hill tribes of Northern Thailand and representatives from the hill tribes attended the launch event of this coffee in Thailand.
Balanced, Smooth & Rich
Recipe for great coffee
- Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
- Grind beans just before brewing:
- Course for coffee press
- Medium for automatic drip
- Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.
To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

all I have to say is I hope they take their games on the road. Maybe they can come and play at the spring game!
what ever happened to "practice like you play"... these girls are in regular workout clothing during practice...that is going to come back to bite them when games start.
I just called Jamie Pollard and informed him I will not be buying tickets to next years Iowa State football. Instead I will buy season ticket's to this.
I didn't see too many "skilled" receivers.
Gotta love the guys, I mean scouts, hanging out on the bleachers enjoying, I mean critiquing, the tryouts.
Not too many bone crushing hits. Must be the natural "air bags." Sorry, I couldn't help it. I had to.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) Republican presidential hopeful Rep. Michele Bachmann will end the first week of her campaign with a three-day, six-stop bus tour of Iowa.
Bachmann's campaign issued a statement Thursday saying the tour would start with a breakfast chat Saturday in Iowa City and end with an appearance in Monday's Independence Day parade in Clear Lake.
Bachmann will make appearances in Marshalltown, Des Moines, Carroll and Le Mars along the way.
The Minnesota congresswoman is pushing hard to win the August GOP straw poll in Iowa, which could launch her to favorite status in next year's leadoff caucuses.
Fellow 2012 candidates Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Tim Pawlenty are all making trips to Iowa over the next week.
(LE MARS)--A straighter street to better serve new development is being pursued in the industrial area of Le Mars.
City administrator Scott Langel explains the latest plans for 27th Street Southwest.

City administrator Scott Langel says a contractor is working again on intersection improvements along Lincoln Street and Lake Avenue.
This month (July), Langel expects Steve Harris Construction to resume improvements for 12th Street Southeast.
Work is also planned this summer near Franklin Elementary School.
Four contractors are also working on minor storm sewer extensions and minor street repairs in different areas of the community.
(KINGSLEY)--New signs with a nostalgic message are displayed in southern Plymouth County.
Kingsley is the latest community in the state to be chosen for a set of Burma Shave-style signs by "Our Iowa" magazine.
Mary Reilly of "Our Iowa" describes the sign project as a success.
The signs with a Burma-Shave safety theme were put up southwest of Kingsley, along county Road C-70, last Friday. The signs sloan is: "Drinking Drivers....Enhance Their Chance...Of Riding Home..In An Ambulance."
Signs with the rhyming lines are dotting the countryside or planned in about half of the state's 99 counties. A dozen other groups have submitted requests being considered by the magazine which sponsors the program.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) A federal judge has granted Planned Parenthood's preliminary injunction to prevent a new South Dakota abortion law from taking effect while it's being challenged in court.
Chief Judge Karen Schreier issued the written ruling on Thursday.
The law, which would have taken effect Friday, requires women seeking abortions to face a three-day waiting period and undergo counseling at pregnancy help centers that discourage abortion.
The lawsuit contends the law violates a woman's constitutional right to abortion established under the landmark 1973 Roe versus Wade ruling
Pawlenty bolsters Republicans in MN shutdown standoff
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty sidetracked from the presidential campaign trail to urge fellow Republicans at the Capitol to not back down in their budget standoff with his Democratic successor.
Pawlenty spoke at a news conference at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Thursday evening on the brink of a Minnesota government shutdown. The candidate for the GOP presidential nomination says spending needs to be controlled in both Washington, D.C., and in St. Paul.
The Minnesota government shut-down happened at midnight today as the two sides failed to reach an 11th hour deal.
Police in Clear Lake fear teen drowning
CLEAR LAKE, Iowa (AP) Police say they fear a 17-year-old boy has drowned in Clear Lake.
Clear Lake police chief Greg Peterson says two boys were swimming about 200 feet off the main boat ramp on Thursday when one of them got in trouble and asked for help.
Peterson says the other boy couldn't help and had to swim back to shore.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports several witnesses say they saw a youth go under the water but not resurface.
MN man convicted of murder set to be sentenced
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) A Minnesota man convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of an Iowa convenience store clerk will be sentenced to life in prison next week.
The Des Moines Register reports that 18-year-old Michael Swanson will receive Iowa's mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole Thursday in Webster County.
Swanson was found guilty in the Nov. 15, 2010, death of Shelia Myers at a Kum Go store in Humboldt.
Defense attorneys argued that Swanson, who laughed as the jury's verdict was read, was legally insane at the time of the shooting.
Swanson is also accused of killing another convenience store clerk and will stand trial in that case July 27 in Lyon County.
D.M. man gets 50 years for child endangerment
(Information in the following story is from: The Des Moines Register, http://www.desmoinesregister.com)
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) A Des Moines man convicted on multiple charges of child endangerment has been sentenced to 50 years in prison.
A Polk County judge sentenced 22-year-old Jonas Neiderbach (NIGH-der-bach) on Thursday after overruling his motion for a new trial.
Neiderbach was convicted by a jury in May on six felony charges. The charges stemmed from brain injuries suffered in 2009 by his then-six week old son, Ethan, who remains severely brain damaged.
The child's mother, Jherica Richardson, was sentenced in 2010 to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to child endangerment and child neglect charges.
The Des Moines Register reports that defense lawyers said they plan to appeal.
Muslim woman registers for nationals
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) Kulsoom Abdullah of Atlanta has filed to compete in the national weightlifting championships a day after the sport's world governing body modified its rules to accommodate her Muslim beliefs.
The International Weightlifting Federation announced Wednesday that it would allow athletes to wear a full-body ``unitard'' under the customary weightlifting uniform.
Abdullah hadn't competed in high-level U.S. competitions because her Islamic faith required her to cover her arms, legs and head. IWF rules have stated that an athlete's knees or elbows must be visible so officials can determine if a lift is correctly executed.
The championships are July 15-17 in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

of his career and his second of the year. The 30-year-old was victorious in
Auckland last month.
Ferrer now has 10 victories in title matches on clay courts, moving him into a
third place tie with Roger Federer and Nikolay Davydenko for most among active

The LoonWatch Program
Imagine a northern lake without the haunting calls and awe-inspiring presence of the Common Loon. It's a disturbing thought, but in some places, it's happening. Air and water pollution, loss of habitat, and increasing recreational activities on lakes all pose serious threats to loons across North America, and in some cases are responsible for loons and loon music disappearing from traditional nesting lakes.
LoonWatch, a program of the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, protects common loons and their aquatic habitats through education, monitoring, and research. Though our primary focus is Wisconsin, our education and research activities extend to Upper Great Lakes region, such as Michigan and Minnesota. We also lend support to North American conservation efforts by working with loon conservation organizations across the United States and Canada.
LoonWatch, its Advisory Council, and volunteers are all working toward common goals of loon conservation and protection. For more information about the program, contact the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute at Northland College, (715) 682-1220, or email email@example.com.
"Above came a soft whisper of wings, and as the loons saw us they called wildly in alarm and took the laughing with them into the gathering dusk. The shores echoed and re-echoed until they seemed to throb with the music. This was the symbol of the lake country, the sound that more than any other typifies the rocks, waters and forests of the wilderness."
- Sigurd F. Olson, Listening Point
Tremolo Joe Medium Roast, Wailing Joe Decaf, and Yodeling Joe Dark Roast coffee has been roasted by Backroads Coffee and Tea in Hayward, WI to support LoonWatch. The Tremelo is the alert call given by loons. Each bag of this organic, shade-grown coffee sold supports LoonWatch's mission to protect loons through education monitoring and research. 100% Arabica Coffee and Certified Fair Trade.

Hi All,
this thread is originally posted on the administrators section.
I apologize because i don't know if someone else has already posted the same subject; i am a new user and i wasn't able to read all the posts.
I'm interested in buying the Zimbra webmail system, I have windows 2003 server installed on my mail server.
I couldnt find specification for Zimbra system integrated on windows while browsing through your website. Is that possible? Or Zimbra system can only be installed on Unix and Mac operating systems?
Suppose we install the Zimbra webmail on a separate Unix or Mac system, can the Zimbra system interact with Microsoft s active directory (AD / LDAP)?
Im mostly interested in authenticating my domain users to access Zimbra online webmail, is that possible?
Could any one please provide me with some details?
Thank you in advance.

This is a beautiful Silver Ring Band with boxwork cuttout overlais from our Silver Rings and Bands Collection
This Silver Ring Band was created by John Hartman of Durango Silver Company. It is made by overlaying rectangular Silver blocks onto an inner Silver band. The outer bands with the filed triangles are then fit to each side and then the band is soldered together. Next John hand sawed and filed the open rectangles in the center design. This is a beautifully sculptured Silver Ring Band that is a knockout in person. With the skin of the finger showing through the cuttouts of the ring, it gives it a very natural appearance. This is a very attractive Silver ladies rings that you would really enjoy wearing. This is a wide band ring that is very comfortable to wear and it would be a great selection from our Silver Rings and Bands collection.
Durango Silver Company produces Silver Jewelry from the American Southwest. Our style of Silver Jewelry as well as Silver Rings and Bands has a deffinate Southwestern and often Victorian style that has derived from the past history of the American Southwest. In the mid 1860's, the Spaniards came through this region in search of Silver and Gold, a Navajo Blacksmith, Atsidi Sani, learned how to work Silver into Jewelry and so began Silver Jewelry in the American Southwest. John Hartman has been an avid collecter of American Frontier items as well as early Southwestern Native American Silver Jewelry. As John is one of the main Jewelry designers of Durango Silver Company, you will definately be able to see antique, victorian, spanish and Navajo influences in his work.This is a great example of this and you will find many other Silver Rings and Bands in our collection that reflect influences from the early years of Southwestern American Silver Jewelry.

That's the role of the designer. Each UXmatters writer is an experienced deliverer-of-design and possesses the skills to communicate their valuable methods and insights. What they say is relevant not only because it is perceptive, useful, and correct, but because, more and more, the user experience matters."—Alan Cooper, coauthor of About Face 3: The Essentials of Interaction Design and About Face 2.0: The Essentials of Interaction Design, author of About Face: The Essentials of User Interface Design and The Inmates Are Running the Asylum: Why High-Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity, and owner of Cooper.
"User experience is a field with dramatic breadth and impressive depth. As more and more professionals from outside of user experience are trying to participate in the field—marketing people and engineers most particularly—the need for knowledge in this already under-represented field continues to grow. UXmatters has a half-decade track record as being one of the few go-to resources for best practice and contemporary insights on the discipline. With a stable of authors and published articles that are impressive in both their content and editorial rigor, UXmatters boasts a highly respected team."—Dirk Knemeyer, founder and former President of UXnet and CEO at Involution Studios
"UXmatters is a great publication. Five years ago, when the term user experience was still new and largely unheard of, UXmatters helped to bring together a community of visual designers, interaction designers, information architects, UI engineers, and usability practitioners through its publication of thoughtful essays, articles, and columns focused on user-centered design. For experts who care deeply about the human in human-computer interaction, and about making our digital world a place that's friendly, understandable, productive, and helpful, there's no doubt that UXmatters has helped move the industry forward.

In contrast, UXmatters represents a big step in the direction of a true online publication: it uses the medium to present information that would be difficult to present in print. Thus, UXmatters is not only about enhancing the user experience, it actually does it."—Jeff Johnson, PhD, author of Designing with the Mind in Mind: Simple Guide to Understanding User Interface Design Rules, GUI Bloopers 2.0: Common User Interface Design Don'ts and Dos, Web Bloopers: 60 Common Design Mistakes and How to Avoid Them, and GUI Bloopers: Don'ts and Dos for Software Developers and Web Designers; coauthor of Conceptual Models: Core to Good Design; and President and Principal Consultant at UI Wizards

MTV proved to be the perfect arena for Shore's image, his popular "Totally Pauly" first aired during afternoons, but during summers expanded its time slot and moved to midnight. Shore's core audience, young grads uncertain of their futures, loved his hysterical espousal of whatever he found "maa-jor, buuuddy". His breakthrough film came with the surprise hit ($40 million domestically) "Encino" Man" (1992), as one of two pals who find a prehistoric man and try to acclimatize him to the 90s, thus proving just how unevolved they are themselves. Shore subsequently bounded into his own film vehicles, showcasing his "fish out of water" antics in "The Son-in-Law" (1993), in which his patented L.A. ... Continue Bio >>

One of my favorite cookies recipes. The dough is just sweet enough to match the candy. I crush the candy into almost a powder and it melts perfectly!
I have NEVER made as stained glass cookie, but have OFTEN used this for decorated "sugar" cookies. I find it easy to work with & my 5 qt Kitchen Aid mixer handles a double recipe easily. Receive many compliments on the taste of these cookies & have used for bridal/baby, birthday, party/showers/favors/treats, etc. I will continue to use & share this terrific recipe.
These cookies were a total let down for me. The picture made them look so pretty and festive so I thought I'd try them. The dough was okay, but I couldn't get the candies in the middle to melt, or they only melted a little but the cookie was getting brown so I had to take them out of the oven. They tasted okay, esp when you got a bite of lifesaver, but overall a total disappointment.

I thought it would be fun to make a thread where all of us high-minded forum analysts could make our predictions for the upcoming season.
The parameters are simple: 2 predictions and an explanation for both.
Mine are
1) The Bruins barely make the playoffs, if at all.
2) The Islanders will make the playoffs and be higher than a 5 seed.
I think the reason the Bruins barely make it in this year is because this will be the season of injuries. As prefaced by DK's early back spasms in training camp.
The Islanders were close last year, I think that continues this year. Tavares becomes the player he was projected to be because the team is better 7 through 12. They have excellent depth this year. And I'll even go out on a limb and say I think they win the season series with the B's

In an incredible effort by the host country, France can boast five players in the round of 16 at Roland Garros going one better than Spain who sit at four.
Julien Benneteau has the unenviable task of taking on Roger Federer, Gael Monfils goes up against Ivan Ljubicic, Michael Llodra battles up-and-comer Ernests Gulbis, Paul-Henri Mathieu faces Aussie Open champ Novak Djokovic, and Jeremy Chardy gets Nicolas Almagro.

I'm in love with Michael Llodra!!! Love love love him. He's so goofy and charming. He loves good wine, kissing his doubles partner passionately and throwing all his belongings into the crowd after a big win.ReplyDelete
The French players are probably the ones I'd most like to have dinner with on a weekly basis. They're all so quirky.
I'm also a big fan of Paul-Henri - I find the way he faces defeat inspiring.

True, Mika Llodra is the charmingest creature ever.ReplyDelete
BTW, it's Vive la France! (not Viva la France - that would be the Spanish-French combo of a sentence).
