MATTHEWS, NC March 18, 2013 — The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will be one of several exhibitors helping the Town of Matthews and the Habitat and Wildlife Keepers (HAWK) celebrate the town's designation as a Community Wildlife Habitat at "A Day at Play," on Saturday.
The family-friendly event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at Squirrel Lake Park, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
From 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Wildlife Commission staff will conduct a Fish-for-Fun event, which is open to everyone — no special skills necessary. In addition to loaning free rods and reels for the day, the Commission is giving away Fish-for-Fun goody bags, filled with fish identification guides, fish stickers and tattoos, pencils and coloring books.
Other activities during the event include a raptor release by the Carolina Raptor Center, a tree identification walk, bird walks, classes on obtaining backyard habitat certification, wildlife crafts for kids and more. Prizes will be given to kids who pledge to spend more time playing outdoors.
The Day at Play event celebrates the Town of Matthews' recent designation as a Community Wildlife Habitat. The N.C.Wildlife Federation submitted Matthews for the prestigious designation, which is given by the National Wildlife Federation, because the town created wildlife-friendly habitats in all of its public parks.
According to the Town of Matthews, it is the 64th town in the United States and only the fourth town in North Carolina to receive this designation. Visit the Town of Matthews' website for more information.
HAWK is a non-profit entity that is committed to preserving, protecting and restoring wildlife habitat in the southeastern part of the Charlotte Metro area.

And finds MANDLES! I headed to Yankee Candle Friday night and spared Jon the experience of finding the perfect scent for our living room. I feel like this earns me a nomination for "girlfriend of the year." Regardless, we ladies LOVE this challenge. Well, my adventure got a little sweeter when I stumbled upon "mandles" (man candles). I love masculine scents! With choices like 2x4 and Riding Mower, I settled on Man Town and couldn't wait to get it home and light it!
Check this out, though - when Jon got home from work, he remarked "Wow! This whole house smells awesome!" Turns out they do work. :-) Success!

LSI Logic 8 Port SATA & SAS / Serial Attached SCSI RAID Controller, 128MB Cache 8344ELP PCI Express LSI00118 SFF-8470 SFF-8087 - Brand New OEM
The MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP, with four internal and four external 3Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) ports, is the ideal RAID solution for internal and external storage subsystems requiring the flexibility to use either SAS or 3Gb/s SATA drives, or a combination of both. Based on LSI Logic first-to-market SAS IC technology, the MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP provides a robust RAID solution complete with a high-performance Intel I/O processor, PCI Express host interface, 128MB DDRI SDRAM, and intelligent battery backup (iBBU) support. Additional fault tolerant RAID features include support for all key RAID levels, Online Capacity Expansion (OCE), RAID Level Migration (RLM) and Patrol Read for finding and resolving bad media blocks on disk drives.
Optional iBBU Support The MegaRAID® LSIiBBU01 is a battery-backup module that protects the integrity of the cached data on a MegaRAID controller by providing backup power if there is a complete AC power failure or a brief power outage. The LSI MegaRAID battery backup units provide an inexpensive alternative to using an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The LSIiBBU01 does not connect directly to the MegaRAID SAS 8344ELP adapter, but instead uses a supplied 20-pin, 10-inch cable to connect to it. Since server and workstation chassis vary from vendor to vendor, there is no standard mounting option that addresses all desired applications. Therefore, the LSIiBBU01 battery kit contains only the battery and the cable, allowing VARs and chassis manufacturers to customize the location of the remote battery to provide the most flexibility within various environments.
This controller has an SFF-8470 external connector and an SFF-8087 internal connector.

My prime interest was in the SEB. The wake was fluttering with details that I could never get the whole of but I made out the most general structuring. At 173x to 200x the three pips of or white spots following the GRS would materialize often then vanish, never completely b ut morph into a confused area. I really gave patience here and observed cat like for those better moments. Normally the 240x plossl is tops for Jupiter as all seems to pop nicest with a nice clean edge. In the case of the tangle of detail here the complexity of contrasts and ever the fluttering britling details it became obvious that I flat out needed to see it closer without the jumble. With that I jumped up to 260x and that was better, even then onto 303x and that was fine too. I was pleasantly takwn aback by the fact that the jovian limb wasnt showing typical amibiguety of focus as the seeing here in CT will often not permit such things. Well what the heck, so in goes my 5mm Abbe Orthoscopic and 364x and let me tell you THAT was the ticket. The hat trick of fluttering details layed down about as good as it was going to get. The white spots were chambered between these dark projections that each had a secific width, waist and tapering shape complete with transitory gradient value. The old conventional wisdom of 200-240x being max and soft ever after took a holiday tonight. These were features mere seconds of arc wide and the same way magnifications one might use on a 4" Mars were clearly paying dividends here. Im not sure if its because of the features or the orthoscopics versus barlowed plossls to get the same magnification but while my old high end assumption for Jupiter was 275x on a 9/10 night that was clearly redefined tonight in 7/10 seeing. The WHOLE of Jupiter was best at 200x to 240x but the details just seconds wide, or in the case of the sub arc second BA the other night, made the use of these high power oculars not just a nice thing to have but necessary. I am sooooo glad I got these Abbes.
For all that theres still features and intensities in the SEB that were persistent but too too flighty to mark with certainty with a pencil. I just COULDNT reliably call it and to that affect I have some regret in conveying the SEB as I have as it was alive and fluttering with details - I just COULDNT map all of them.
The rest was less work than the SEB safari, but they were fun nonetheless and challenging too. That GRS II of the North shown as a soft grey intrusion into an other wise clean area. Too the NEB had these darker intensities and one in particular that was at an angle and sausage like. I couldnt nail the white spots in the south but this little guy was there in all its murky glory. The festoons had classic sweeps. In ther past 9/10 seeing has shown the whipped swirls BETWEEN the festoons which is a rare eyefull, but tonight it was merely the festoons un to thyemselves and the gentle contrast gradients bordering the belts. At the base of the festoons some white spots or areas in the EZ were the whitest things on the planet. subtly but clear. The NTB was unusual I saw some dips and such in it an dits northern edge was sharper than its southern and most interestingly WIDENED at the following end. The last thing observed was this little thin light toned zone with some darker belting contrasting it. This was a subtle feature but rewarding in that eye candy way those threshold features flicker with curiousity.
I didnt have any Europa transit this time nor sub arc second spot off the GRS as it rotated off before I got set up. Still this was a busy observation.
A side note I tried for Ganymede detail at the wonderful 364x and then 450x again, abbes and all for naught. All it highlighted was that 7/10 isnt 9/10 and the 450x orb was too smeared to settle down. It takes an unusually small target like this and unusually high magnification to reveal the wall of seeing that exists between these two seeing values. They look close but either youve got 9 or youve got 7 seeing and wishfull thinking doesnt fix it. But I kn ow Ill never quit wishing till that seeing comes around again.
Hope you like.

With my landscaping overhaul two years ago and various articles this spring, I've been thinking a lot about garden furniture this year. It's a major element missing in my yard.
Being of humble means, and not into grabbing the cheapy trend-of-the-moment patio set from the big box store, (translation: picky, but not rich enough to be) I've been biding my time until the right pieces come along. This approach to shopping problems has always served me well. (Pair of black dress boots, my size, exactly the style I wanted but couldn't find, mint condition, for free, at a garage sale. Oh yeah.)
I've thought a lot about the style I would like, and I'm leaning towards rustic without being too stereotypically "cottage" style. (See? Picky.)
I think my sister Jenni is right on the money. And this chair suits her, being an arborist. Custom made by her husband, I'm seriously debating commissioning a couple. With my riches, you know.

Captain America #614
Ed Brubaker (w); Butch Guice (p); Stefano Gaudiano with Morales, Palmer, Magyar & Guice (i); Bettie Breitweiser with Sotomayor, Ramos & Martin (c). Marvel Comics.
I got the second omnibus of Brubaker's Captain America run for Christmas and devoured it before Boxing Day was over. I'd read it all before, but never in a straight read though. Beyond the fantastic characters and exciting action, I was shocked how tight the plotting was. When you read it collected, you see that Brubaker doesn't forget a single thread. He's tracking the plot and all the players.
In the last couple years, I feel people taken for granted just how amazing this book is. Couple years ago, people couldn't stop saying nice things about Brubaker's Cap run, now, I feel occationally there's a "yep, still good" review and that's it. But that's not enough — this is as good as any iconic run on a superhero. Brubaker's Daredevil might live in Frank Miller's run for the rest of time, but every writer to handle Captain America after this will live in Brubaker's shadow. When he leaves they might as well just retire the character (not that they will). Read the rest of this entry »

Been thinking of upgrading my spotting scope. Now keep in mind I am on low fixed income today. Years past I had plenty of money to spend on [I]STUFF[I], but that was before cancer, losing everything I had, well just about everything anyway and now surviving on social security.
I purchased my current spotting scope almost 20 years ago for a tule elk hunt here in California. I figured it would only collect dust after that hunt, but as all of you know that was not the case. A spotting scope is a need to have item in our hunting equipment it is used constantly. The scope I bought back then and have been using ever since was a good scope in its day and there wasn't the selection there is today, that scope is a Bushnell 15-40x60.
All that being said I have been looking at two scopes in particular, the Vortex Nomad and Alpen Optics products. The Vortex Nomad 20-60x60 has gotten a few negative reviews, both here and other web sites but I am thinking those comments may be in comparison to higher end optics. I liked the size of the Nomad and it easily out performed my current scope. It was clearer and a bit brighter, but not sure I was getting much more bang for the buck compared to what I have now. Where I was at I could only use it out to about 200 yards and it was indoors.
Alpen Optics's headquarters and warehouse is located just down the road a couple miles from here. I went there today with my current scope to check out their product. I looked at both the straight and angled 20-60x80, but WOW those 80mm Objective lens are gigantic. It was the most clear of all scopes and resonably light weight for its size, but what a big scope. I also looked at their 20-60x60 angeled scope and again it was clearer than my scope but about the same brightness.
I rifle hunt and bow hunt. I use my spotting scope from a window mount on my truck and a tripod on a hill side. I have a number of tripods that I use based on if I am near the truck or have walked back in a ways. I also backpack and carry my scope with me. And of course use my scope at the range.
One thing I am thinking if I end up with a 80mm scope is keeping my existing scope in my pack and the big scope on either a tripod or window mount.
Tough decision, the 60mm Vortex and 80mm Alpen are about the same money and I have found Alpens used for about a 30-40% markdown, but really wondering which way to go. My current spotting scope isn't the best by a long shot and what I am looking atisn't even close to whats out there, but its what I can afford. One thing I wish I could do is have all three scopes at the same place in low light conditions to a comparison.
I guess what I am asking is of you guys that have experience with 80mm scopes, are they too big? Do they get in the way? Does anyone carry one in their pack? Is the extra light gathering worth the bigger size?
I know most of what I read about here site and other sites are about pretty high end stuff and believe me if it was three years ago spending a thousand or two wouldn't be out of the question, but that ship has sailed.
Your opinions would be appreciated.

Rubber match: Cleveland
No full Around the Horn today, we're going to get into it quick in anticipation of what should be a pitcher's duel today at the K. Cliff Lee (20-2 2.32 ERA) and Zack Grienke (10-9, 3.67 ERA) square off.
Lee is the American League's only 20-game winner so far this season and ERA king, while Greinke has put up career highs for strikeouts, quality starts and will probably top his innings and starts highs before the season ends. So, let's get to it…
Strikeouts are fun
Starters Gil Meche and Zack Greinke are a turning out to be a strikeout tandem that the Royals haven't seen the likes of for a while. Between the two, they've amassed 317 punch outs this season (158 for Meche and 159 for Greinke, which are both career highs). They current sit at No. 5 and 6 in the American League. As a 1-2 punch, they are third best in the A.L. behind Toronto's A.J. Burnett and Roy Halladay who have 386 and the Angels' Ervin Santana and Jered Weaver who sit at 324.
Meche and Greinke are the first pair of Royals starters to go over 150 since 1993 when David Cone (191) and Kevin Appier (186) accomplished the feat. By season's end, Greinke and Meche might be approaching that lofty air, but for now, look for them to take down the 1997 duo of Appier (196) and Jose Rosado (129) who reached 325.
With Greinke throwing today, look for the Royals tandem to challenge the 1997 duo and for second in the A.L. The Angels aren't throwing Weaver or Santana and Greinke had 8 strikeouts last Tuesday and is averaging 9.3 K's a start over his last seven (8.1 this season in 28 starts).
Couple Other Notes: The Royals are 6-4 this season in rubber games…Joakim Soria tied Dan Quisenberry on the Royals all-time season saves list with his 35th save last night…The Royals hit the road for six tomorrow night with a 3-game series in Minnesota starting Tuesday and begin their final homestand a week from tomorrow with four games against Seattle (RETRO-PRICING). Fan Appreciation ends the final homestand with three games versus Chicago (BE A HOT DOG).

text: Cool looking picture. I am going to be hunting antelope and mulies in the same area I guess.Never been out there, but have a reliable source there are a quite a few goats and a few mule deer where we are going. Not sure the size of the mule deer and don't really care at this point because I have never harvested one. So I will be happy to just get one under my belt and then go from there. Don't get me wrong, if I see a good one I will try my best to do what I can to harvest it. How has the winter been around the Douglas area this year? Plenty of snow here in WI if you need some for moisture. Its all Free for the taking.

Here's a first look at Fernando Verdasco in Calvin Klein's ad campaign for his new X Underwear collection. He's joined in the spots by Twilight's Kellan Lutz, True Blood's Mechad Brooks and Japanese footballer Hidetoshi Nakata.
The campaign will feature behind-the-scenes videos and interviews with the boys, as well as innovative 3D-effect versions of the adverts.
Seriously, Nando's bulge in 3-D? Now there's a fun Friday night.

Nope, he just doesn't do it for me. He's a nice looking boy, that's it.
I don't even like the pants.
I don't even like the pants.ReplyDelete
Maybe if they were around his ankles, perhaps CC?
I'm thinking the 3-D version might do the trick. I'll let you know.
My favorite athlete to model Calvin Klein is still Freddie Ljungberg but Fer has a REALLY nice body. There's just something about the face.ReplyDelete
Speaking of hot athletes, have you guys seen Feliciano Lopez with the lion cubs in South Africa? HOT!!
Yes he filled his briefs in nicely did Freddie.ReplyDelete
So no love for Ferru and the tigers? Yeah, not quite the same I know.
Ferru was hot but more adorable than hot.Feli, however, oh Feli. He's just all sorts of yum and he looked even hotter than usual in that ATP video with the cubs.ReplyDelete

I would love to see Rafa in those sort of things...Why Rafi never do that??!!ReplyDelete
Miss you, Rafi, and love you! Get well!
- AnonymousFebruary 3, 2010 at 2:43 PM
Don't do it for me.....ReplyDelete
Super body and one of the fittest athletes right now on tour. Too bad his mind cannot stay focused for a whole match and his self belief is not where it should be.ReplyDelete
Sara, agree with you on Freddie. Great!ReplyDelete
And Rafa, as we know, is "a little bit shy for this". He wouldn't do it.
Seeing even more pics with Fernando really doesn't make it any better. I don't even want to see his the pants around his ankles... (Well, maybe out of curiosity ;))
- DenizenFebruary 3, 2010 at 9:40 PM
CC, Rafa has been photographed in his undies before - my tired brain can think of two occasions. He's only shy when he's called out on it, which is what I think you're referring to (Pam Shriver at the USO).ReplyDelete
Denizen, Rafa has been photographed WITHOUT his undies on as well, no? *fans self* ;)ReplyDelete
But yeah, I meant that he would be a little bit shy for doing a photo shoot, like Fernando here.
The famous ass-ets sans knickers:ReplyDelete

*shakes head*ReplyDelete
He's not doing it for me either...
I guess this proves that it's no longer good enough just being buff. Verdasco modeling underwear, I wouldn't have even bothered to look if I didn't stumble upon it as I was reading your posts RiCH. I gave them a brief look...HA! Geddit? "brief" XD
Rafa raised the standards waaay high. ;D He makes being afraid of cheese and snort laughs HOTT.
Sorry Vedasco. *shrug* I think Feli would be impressed though.
Just sayin'. :D
- MichelleFebruary 4, 2010 at 5:36 PM
Oh, as for Rafa volunteering to model underwear....NOT happening.ReplyDelete
He regretted shooting that oh-so-sexy magazine cover where he's bear chested. hehee, THAT'S what makes him SO sexy and appealing.
He's HoTT, he's sexy, he doesn't give a shit & he's shy about it. I remember how shocked he was when this male interview asked him if he'd ever consider going into modeling. Rafa was like "WHOT?!"
Verdasco on the other hand....just TRIES too hard. Plus, I think he thinks he sexier than what he actually is. Also (and he can thank Rafa for this) being weak between the ears is a MAJOR turn off now. I want my men strong! And they have to have a decent fist pump. Verdasco's "squeezing boobie" gesture that he does toward a male friend, no less, is just weak. And don't get me started on his LV bags....
Ah, sometimes I get the feeling that he isn't necessarily out to please the ladies. Maybe he's sending you a subliminal message RiCH?
LOL Michelle - I'll be able to let you know after my 3-D poster arrives.ReplyDelete
madre de dios.ReplyDelete
That is all.
(I'm afraid the rest of my vocabulary has deserted me for the time being.)

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- They are personal shoppers making someone's day a lot easier. The girls from Stone Ridge of the Sacred Heart School in Bethesda MD made up their minds when they volunteered at the Interfaith Clothing Center in Rockville, they were going to make a difference.
So Ana Bengoechea and Beki San Martin decided after they helped unpack donations and stock the shelves they would comb through the racks of clothes to find the best items for clients.
They asked what size and hit the floor! Their personal shopping service proved to be popular and now they do it all the time. The idea was to make someone's day brighter and to help them maximize their time.
Sacred Heart Students also built a website: impelledtoact.com to chronical their work in the community.

LMC Truck Dash Cluster Install - Gauging ChangeWritten by on December 9, 2010 Facelift Your '67-72 C10 Dash
There's no doubt about it, anyone that owns a classic truck will tell you they enjoy the nostalgic feeling they get when they drive it. It might be said an old truck's ability to make one feel young again works better than any vitamin or anti-aging cream on the market-unless, of course, it also brings back some unpleasant memories. I love my '68 GMC, but the dashboard reminds me of when I was a flat-broke 16-year-old kid driving a beat-up old heap with nothing in front of me that worked. Not only was it a drag not being aware of how things were going under the hood engine wise, but not having a speedometer made me paranoid every time I saw a cop.
Beyond a desire to have everything working on the Jimmy's dashboard I wanted to make the truck look better and offer more options than it came equipped with brand-new. All it took was a visit to the pages of LMC Truck's catalog for '67-72 Chevy and GMC trucks and I located 98 percent of what was needed to do the job. I also looked to Mothers for detailing products needed to carry out restoration processes and Eastwood for paint supplies.
On a personal level, I admit I kind of liked the strange contrast GMC created by using red and green, which are complementary colors, to decorate the interior of the cab but I was after a sexy '60's high-performance look.
The easiest way to do work behind a dashboard is to get everything out of the way, and gain direct access. The original glovebox was in tatters and came out with an easy tug to tear it out, but installing the new reproduction glovebox from LMC Truck required finesse, and a little bit of good timing. By timing I mean it was best to handle installing the new AM/FM stereo and dual-cone speaker before stuffing the new glovebox in. This was also a good time to remove a rat's nest of unnecessary wiring present.
The decision to scrap the original GMC cluster was a good one. Installing LMC Truck's new dash cluster returned complete functionality to the GMC's dashboard and added a factory-style tachometer in the process. I was lucky because there are other things that will prevent gauges from working. For example, a broken speedometer can be caused by a bad speedometer cable or drive gear. Because early C10s use a mechanical oil pressure gauge there's no sending unit to go bad. The problem is going to be either a broken or disconnected feed line or a bad gauge. A faulty sending unit, a broken gauge, or a disconnected wire can cause a coolant temp gauge failure.
The best way to upgrade the sound system in a classic truck is forgo destroying the original looks of the dashboard by cutting the sheetmetal and opt for a shaft-mount style unit that slips right in the existing hole. I went for LMC Truck's dual-cone speaker because I wanted stereo separation, but I didn't want to draw any extra attention to the truck by installing visible stereo speakers in the kick panels. It must be added that the sound quality isn't quite as good with a single speaker in the center of the dash. The finishing touch that really turned up the nostalgia was installing LMC Truck's beautifully chromed glovebox door. Chroming the glovebox door was a trick us California customizers used to do back in the '60's that made it a lot easier for our girlfriends to check their makeup.

The first step was to disconnect the battery, eliminating any chance of grounding a stray hot wire while working under the dashboard.It's a bad idea to use harsh detergents around interior plastics. Instead we used a heavy concentration of Mother's California Gold car wash to cut through 40-plus years of grit and grime. Compressed air works best for drying things out and begins the process for color-changing the interior with Color Bond.Removing the glovebox allows the best access when replacing the radio and speaker. Note the glovebox hinge serves as a clamp to retain the box's bottom.In order to install the new glovebox, the heater plenum must be removed. It is not necessary to remove the front half of the heater assembly mounted under the hood on the passenger side of the firewall.I used a scissors jack with a block of wood to turn mounting (installing) the new glovebox into a one-man operation. It's best to proceed carefully as forcing the glove liner into place can tear it and cause permanent damage.Adjusting the glovebox liner, glovebox door, and door latch was accomplished by leaving the mounting screws loose and jiggling the trio of components into position then tightening the screws down snug.To remove the dash cluster all of the knobs must be removed first. Each knob is attached in a different fashion and must be removed accordingly. The choke knob unscrews by holding the flats on the choke cable shaft and turning counterclockwise.The wiper switch knob is held tight with a tiny fillister head set screw located on the backside. Snap ring pliers work great for unscrewing the chrome collars found behind each of the knobs.
The mechanical oil pressure gauge must be disconnected before removing the dash cluster. A 5/16-inch flare-nut wrench works well for undoing the fitting without rounding the flats. The speedometer cable unscrewed by hand from the speedometer back.The gauge wiring plug on the gauge cluster's backside was undone by squeezing the ends. All of the Phillips head screws on the dash cluster's face were removed and then the dash cluster was lifted out the left side while jockeying it free from top and bottom snags.Connecting the factory optional-style tachometer in LMC Truck's reproduction dash cluster is a simple matter of plugging the included harness into the back of the dash cluster and the routing the brown feed wire to the negative side of the coil and the pink (hot) lead to the terminal marked "ign. unfused" on the fuse block located under the dashboard on the driver side.On Delco window-type distributors, the brown lead attaches to the negative side of the coil. On GM one-wire HEI distributors the brown lead attaches to the terminal marked "tach" on the distributor cap.Taking special precautions not to scratch the chrome, LMC Truck's dash cluster installed by reversing how the original came out. Next, the Phillips mounting screws were tightened into place, and the oil pressure gauge and speedometer were reconnected.Thanks to connecting to existing terminals, notice how uncluttered the fuse block remained after installing LMC Truck's complete dash cluster and AM/FM stereo.Here's the dash cluster in action. The tach is at 2,000 rpm, the fuel gauge is at a little over a quarter tank, and the temp and oil gauges are reading as well.Removing the original radio consists of pulling the knobs off, and then undoing the nuts on the shaft mounts followed by unbolting the support bracket attached to the speaker mount. Next, the speaker is removed by unbolting it from the mounting bracket.
With stock-style knobs and face it's hard to tell the difference from an original GM radio. The USB port is a hanging plug that easily tucks into the ashtray when an iPod is not in use.The quick way to adjust the radio face as flush as possible is to assemble the front, and then take up the slack on the shaft mounts from behind. Note the adjusting nuts and washers shown in this view.Mothers' California Gold car wash works great for restoring the original appearance of the dashboard, but a good silicone and wax stripper like Eastwood's PRE should be used as the first step to color-changing the padded vinyl dash with Color Bond.The next step to achieve an extremely durable finish is to spray on Color Bond's adhesion promoter and then allow it to tack-dry before applying the color coat.Not a lot of masking is required because Color Bond dries almost immediately after being sprayed, thus the amount of overspray produced is minimal. Leaving the windshield unmasked allows plenty of light to see the surface, and is easily cleaned with PRE, a single-edged razor blade, or 0000 steel wool.

A good deodorant is a dependable ally to a man. It's easy enough to end up damp and smelly after even the lightest, most lethargic days, yet most of us don't enjoy such luxury very often. There's the morning jog, the maelstrom of tasks and meetings at the office, intimate moments with our loved ones, an unexpected haggling session at the airport—the sort of spin cycle that the modern world and its breakneck pace put us through, day in and day out. The Lab Series skin-care line provides the kind of robust and revitalizing products that the well-groomed, discerning man demands in the face of all that—and Lab Series Men Deodorants are no exception.
Fundamental to a grooming regimen, of course, is combating the natural sweatiness and odors associated with the day's exertions and stressors. The Lab Series Men Deodorants focus the characteristic craft and science that has made the brand a leader in men's skin care since 1987 on just these tasks. Lab Series Men Deodorants are there for you after a rousing game of pickup basketball or an intense bout of exercise at the fitness center; they're also there for you at the start of a standard work day, equipping you with the confidence you require to get the job done.
The characteristics many men seek in a deodorant are strength and reliability. They don't want a product that will fail when they need it most—that high-pressure business meeting, a romantic date, a workout at the gym or on the field. Nor do they appreciate deodorants that leave their mark—literally—on clothing, or shed little flakes whenever they're used. And nobody enjoys a poorly formulated deodorant that irritates the skin, causing more trouble than it alleviates. Lab Series Men Deodorants deliver on everything a man looks for in a personal hygiene product.
The elite team behind Lab Care—doctors, dermatologists, and other specialists—has produced a deodorant that you can count on: one with the muscle to work even in the most rigorous conditions.
For sustained protection, try the Lab Series Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Stick. Composed of a fine-tuned formula containing chamomile, tea-tree leaf oil, and other ingredients, our deodorant—perfect for any skin type—serves as a front-line defense against perspiration and odor. Unlike so many products, the Lab Series Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Stick won't leave little flakes or stains on your shirts. It also comes fragrance-free, so you get that maximum wetness- and odor-protection without an associated scent. In short, Lab Series Men Deodorants are a no-frills, highly effective addition to your skin-care arsenal: dependable and unobtrusive, and there for you whenever you need them. They're tough on odor and dampness and kind to clothes and skin.
Incorporate the Lab Series Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Stick into your daily grooming and enjoy the results immediately. There's nothing like moving through your day—full of its endless excitement and challenge—with the confidence that you'll be presenting yourself fresh and impeccably groomed, whatever the situation.

On his new track "Brick to a Million" with Fat Trel and Alley Boy, Master P spits a few bars that many interpreted as a diss to Kanye West and Lil Wayne. On the song, he raps, "New niggas wearing dresses, fuck it / I ain't scared to address it / Gangsta niggas on skateboards / I'm at the house breaking motherfucking headboards / Real niggas stand up."
During an interview with Power 106's Big Boy's Neighborhood, the No Limit honcho cleared up misconceptions about the lyrics, stating that he was not addressing those rappers in particular but was instead talking about a radio station employee who told him he was finished.
"Even that, that ain't a diss. I never made a diss record. Like I said, a lot of people, if you feel salty behind that, then I could say if the shoe fit well, I'm not afraid to address it," he said. "I just feel like in Hip Hop, we've got to stick to whether we're going to be real or we not. Like I said, I'm just addressing what I see. To be honest with you, that particular song wasn't about nobody in Hip Hop but I think people taking it like that. This was one of these guys that worked at the radio station and didn't believe in me and told me it was over for me. He ridin' up on a skateboard and got a little mini-skirt on. This a new dude into the business, and he telling me it's over for me."
P, who was rumored to have issues with Cash Money Records back in the day, said that if the rappers took offense to the song, they might want to rethink their choices. But he insists that he has no beef with either of them.
"If you feel guilty about something, then that's something you need to address about with yourself," he said. "Y'all gotta realize, we really from the streets. If there really was a feud, there would have been a problem. But I got love for Baby and them, Lil Wayne. They come from where I come from. It's always been a competition. Everybody want to be the best."
Master P most recently dropped off his new mixtape Al Capone and spoke with HipHopDX about how he tried to sign Tupac Shakur to No Limit Records.

Written By Elon Sports Information Dept.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Led by first-team selection Jonathan Spain at linebacker, the Elon Phoenix football team had four players named to the preseason All-Southern Conference teams as announced at the league's annual media day on Wednesday, July 24.
Spain was joined by second-team selections Clay Johnson (senior offensive lineman), Kierre Brown (junior wide receiver) and Chandler Wrightenberry (senior defensive back).
A Greensboro, N.C., native, Spain was a second-team all-conference honoree as a sophomore.
In 2012 he led the team and ranked third in the league with 120 total tackles, the fourth-highest single-season total in Elon's NCAA Division I history.
His 10.91 tackles per game rated 12th nationally. Spain added 5.5 tackles for loss, including 2.5 sacks. With his 20 tackles against Samford, Spain became the first Phoenix player since 2006 to notch a 20-tackle game. He added 16 stops at No. 10 Georgia Southern and tallied at least 10 tackles in each of Elon's final eight games of the 2012 campaign.
Johnson started all 11 games of the 2012 season as Elon's center. The Hickory, N.C., resident has started 19 consecutive games for the maroon and gold and has a total of 21 career starts. He is one of two returning starters on the offensive line for the Phoenix this year.
Brown was Elon's second-leading receiver a year ago, posting 45 receptions for 642 yards and four touchdowns. Against No. 10 Georgia Southern, the Charlotte, N.C., native caught five passes for a career-best 110 yards. In a conference victory over Western Carolina, Brown hauled in a 55-yard touchdown catch, the longest reception of his career. Also a kick returner, Brown averaged 24.6 yards on 25 kickoff returns in 2012.
Wrightenberry, who hails from Asheville, N.C., has started every game for Elon the past two seasons. In 2012, Wrightenberry was third on the team with 70 total tackles. Among those stops were 4.0 tackles for loss. He broke up three passes and recorded a personal-best 10 tackles, all solo, at No. 14 Appalachian State. In his three seasons with the maroon and gold, Wrightenberry has amassed 156 total tackles and broken up 11 passes.
The league also announced its preseason polls with Elon being selected to finish eighth by both the coaches and media. Georgia Southern was tabbed the preseason favorite by both groups.
Elon will open its 2013 campaign at Georgia Tech on August 31. The game is scheduled for a noon start and will air on ESPN3.
