After Sandy, better late than never
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Ready or not, the state high school soccer tournament is in town.
Sixteen teams will descend on Schoenbaum Soccer Stadium in Coonskin Park and the new Trace Fork Complex in South Charleston today seeking championships in Class AAA and AA-A boys and girls divisions.
Three-time defending champion Charleston Catholic (21-0-2) will kick off the tourney against Bridgeport (16-4-2) in the AA-A boys semifinals at 9:30 a.m. at Trace Fork.
When Hurricane Sandy blew through West Virginia last week, the superstorm also blew up the state tournament. The Secondary School Activities Commission postponed the event, which was set for last weekend, after much of the state was inundated with rain and snow.
Then the SSAC moved the tournament from the YMCA Youth Sports Complex's grass fields in Beckley to Charleston's turf fields at Schoenbaum and Trace Fork after it was decided the fields couldn't be ready in time. The state-bound teams haven't played a match since regional tournaments were contested Oct. 23 and Oct. 25.
Catholic is chasing history, hoping to become just the second school to win four straight titles. Wheeling Park did so from 1998-2001 in the girls division under the one-class system. The state tournament split into AAA and AA-A in 2007.
"I think every team if they can't look at themselves and say, 'We're a better team than we were in August,' probably wouldn't be here,'' said Catholic second-year coach Sam Fox, whose teams also owns a 53-match unbeaten streak.
The other defending state champions are George Washington (AAA boys) and nationally ranked Morgantown (AAA girls). The AA-A girls field is wide open after defending champ Grafton and top-ranked Sissonville failed to advance in regional play.
All 16 teams in the boys and girls fields finished the regular season in the state coaches association rankings. Three of the four No. 1 teams made it - Hurricane (AAA boys), Catholic (AA-A boys) and Morgantown (AAA girls) - while those three squads are also still undefeated.
If you're looking for upstarts, try the AAA No. 16 Hedgesville boys, who upset No. 6 Martinsburg in sectional play and No. 10 Washington, last year's state runner-up, in regionals. Also, the AA-A No. 11 Bluefield boys advanced to states for the first time.
The Kanawha Valley has six entrants, including four in the AAA boys and girls field.
The GW boys, who finished fifth in the final state coaches association rankings, are looking to add to their recent championship haul after picking up a second title last year to go with the first one in 2007. The Patriots captured their sectional and regional with tense 1-0 victories, including a penalty-kick shootout.
The No. 6 GW girls are in the AAA semis for the ninth time but are still seeking their first championship. The Patriots have a tall order in taking on Morgantown (22-0-1) in the state semifinals, but GW is 2-0 so far in revenge games this postseason. The Mohigans shut out the Patriots 3-0 in the regular-season finale.
Top-ranked Hurricane (21-0-1) is making its fourth appearance in AAA boys in six years, but doesn't have any hardware to show for its efforts except a runner-up trophy. The Redskins lost to GW 1-0 in the 2007 title game, dropped a 2-1 decision on penalty kicks to Wheeling Park in the 2010 semifinals and fell to the Patriots 1-0 in last year's semis.
"I don't think there's anybody in it that can't win this thing,'' said Hurricane coach Jim Dagostine. "We're looking at it like we're a good team and we can certainly get it done if we can play well enough.''
No. 3 Winfield has lost heartbreakers the past two years in AAA girls. The Generals lost 1-0 on penalty kicks to Morgantown in last year's title game and fell 1-0 to eventual state champion University two years ago in the semis on a last-second goal. Winfield may have some karma on its side this year after edging Huntington 1-0 in overtime of the regionals.
The No. 4 Catholic girls are back in AA-A after a one-year hiatus. The Irish enter states with plenty of momentum after knocking off No. 1 Sissonville 2-1 in a penalty-kick shootout in regionals. Last year Catholic was knocked out in the sectionals after winning the previous three titles.
Some of the state's top players will be spotlighted.
Hurricane senior Felipe Thompson, a foreign-exchange student from Chile, has scored a Kanawha Valley-best 46 goals, Charleston Catholic senior Sam Revercomb has netted 34 goals and George Washington junior Garrett Phillips paces all state keepers with 14 shutouts. On the girls side, PikeView senior Laura Hill has 59 goals, which is an unofficial single-season state record.

Upgrading Your 318 Stroker Crate Motor - Iron Lung Sucker PunchWritten by on February 1, 2004 Hensley Performance Takes The Lowly 318 To 402 Inches Of Thumper Power
Let's face it, as motorheads, we play little head games with each other. Of course, if that head being gamed is Hemi-derived, a simple look under the bonnet will shut up the naysayers. We get a somewhat perverse thrill out of psyching each other out a bit. Take this gem here-looks pretty serious, right? Well, it began life as a two-barrel 318, the most common V-8 in the world of Mopars. So you could tell that inquisitive mind giving it the eyeball that it's a 318, and ya wouldn't be lyin'. Of course, just like Charles Atlas' old ads in the comic books, this former 98-pound weakling is done getting kicked in the face.
For starters, it now sports a crank and reciprocating parts that have boosted the internal displacement by over 80 cubes, for a total of 402 inches that will stomp those 5.0 girlie men into the dirt in a heads-up battle. It's topped off with a bunch of tasty goodies, so you might want to think twice before swapping a heavier big-block into your ride.
We first saw this engine in its finished state at Hensley Racing Enterprises, based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Ken and Alice Hensley have run this particular Chrysler-oriented operation since 1996, when they bought out retiring Chrysler maven Herb McCandless. their background in Mopar parts dates back to the '60s with a speed equipment business in their family-owned Dodge dealership. Ken has been a Chrysler loyalist throughout the last 35-plus years, either as a businessman or a racer. Today, the firm's large building, located off the Clinton Highway, features a retail store out front, while son Matt and a crew of talented merry men are in the machine shop massaging parts and building engines for customers. What makes Hensley unique in this particular project is they are building stroker small-block engines as 'crate designs,' which the Hensleys sell under the HRE Blueprint Series.
"These are not crate motors in the conventional sense," states Ken. "We know each engine application is different, and we really want to find out what the customer wants before we start putting one of these motors together. Basically, what we do is use a select number of parts that have proven to work, and combine them into a specific package that meets the customer's needs. Where we are different from some other engine builders is that we have the hardware here to build the basic package pretty quick. The bottom end is similar across the board, and we change things here and there as the customer's needs dictate."
Hensley Performance offers the engine in a variety of power levels, ranging from a torquey stump-puller for towing, to a roller-cammed bracket engine. So we came to the Volunteer State to get the lowdown on brewing up the 318 stroker 'crate motor.' Since you will probably want to know the pocket wallop before getting started, the price of the basic 402 intake-to-pan stroker is just under $6,500 from Hensley, which is very economical when you realize the pre-use teardown some other crate engines may require is not needed. This package has been built by Mopar-racing guys who take a lot of pride in doing it right-period. It uses name-brand parts and high-quality machine work for a butt-kicking final combination. The version shown here will cost a little more, since we utilized the Edelbrock head option.
Of course, you could certainly do this buildup at home. you can also call the Hensley's shop at 865/947-0426 and talk to someone about your specific application, and they'll either put one together for you or sell you all the parts you need. Regardless of the method that works best for you, here's how it's done
Tackling The Block
Why the 318? Simple, they're solid, readily available, and cheap. Unlike a 340 or 360, there are literally hundreds of thousands of 318 cores still available. Ken has a number of things he looks for when selecting a block for the stroker process. These include taking basic measurements-which determine what has been done (if anything) to the block in the past, and any potential danger spots that might reveal excessive wear or cracking. He also looks for a pre-'76 casting date. Most 318s are durable engines that can withstand a lot of abuse, but there is no use wasting time on one that might be useless for anything but anchoring a boat.
The first step after the disassembled block is visually examined is to pressure-test it. This is done by using metal plates to cover vital areas, checking and reinstalling freeze plugs, and making sure nothing leaks where it shouldn't. Next comes sonic testing for cylinder-wall thickness-if the block is going to be punched out, this is critical before ever cutting the metal. Like the pinging heard in submarine movies, a sonic test uses sound waves to determine material thickness. Ken especially notes that two blocks cast sequentially can vary immensely. Like the pressure testing, this is very cheap insurance before machine work begins. thorough checks at this juncture will help ensure the final engine both seals well and makes its maximum potential horsepower. these two tests are integral to any engine buildup done at the Hensley shop.
Since the stroker crank will be bringing the rods and pistons where no reciprocating assembly has ever been before, this is followed by clearancing to the bottom edges of the bores. Also at this time, the surfaces inside the engine that might have casting slag or roughness are also cleaned up to ensure good oil return. in race applications, oiling changes will be made now, as well.
After this, the block goes through the machining process. This includes boring and honing using torque plates that are bolted to spec tightness, as well as deck squaring as needed. As with all engine builds, some machine work will be determined by the final horsepower range desired, but Ken believes that boring, honing with a torque plate, and main-bearing clearance clean-up are all necessary, regardless of what the final level of modifications are. Main caps from the stock 318 will be capable in some applications, but HRE uses aftermarket caps when needs dictate them.
Oiling Tricks
To ensure good lubrication for your engine, there are a few upgrades that are well known in the world of high-performance small-block Mopars. For race engines, these mods include opening up the passages between the main bearing saddles and the lifter galley to 9/32 inch in mains 1,2,3, and 4. Also, the area between the rear main, galley, and oil filter area needs to be opened up to 1/2 inch. A crossover tube is also fabb'ed for upper oil flow. Need directions for all this? Hensley Performance has instructions on both LA-series (273-318-340-360) and B/RB (361/383/400/413/426/440) oiling modifications in their 88-page catalog, as well as other technical tips. The primary thing to remember is it will be a lot harder to remove a bit that has broken off inside an oil passage than you might think, so take your time. Once done, take every possible step to ensure the block is completely clean of any fragments. While cleanliness is critical, passage size and changes are not as critical for hydraulic-cammed street applications like ours, so we bypassed that step.
Heads Of State
Cylinder heads are one area that will make a difference in both the final cost and the final power your engine makes. Contingent on how you plan to use your engine, you can go with a set of Hensley's custom-reworked stockers, or go with a flat-out big rpm set that will send a small-block powered 3,000-pound drag car below the 10-second zone.
Making It All Work
We left a few things, such as headers, off the engine, since they will be up to the end user. Ken himself recommends a primary length of 34 inches, and 1 5/8-inch diameter primary tubes. Final selection will be made based on body type and final application. Here are a few other items to consider when building a stroker 318 that won't be bullied around any longer.
The Cost Of Power
So you want to get your grimy little mitts on one of these stealth bombers? There are a few things to consider, like how do you want it built? That's right, you can have it your way, to an extent. Ken gave a couple options you can get with the approximate price.

Fresh main caps from Mopar are used when the engine is planned for bracket duty or higher rpm usage. These will be bolted onto the block before final machining, and will be align-bored to the main saddles.Tools make all the difference, especially when preparing an engine for performance assembly. One final step before putting any parts into our stroker 318 is to use a bore indicator to be absolutely certain that every machined surface is ready.Bottom End Basics
Here is our 4-inch-long cast arm from Mopar Performance, PN P5007253, which is good for power blasts to 6,500 rpm. A forged version (P5007252) is also available, though HRE uses the cast version even on bracket motors as long as they are not subject to forced induction or nitrous oxide.This view of the block shows the clearancing done to provide room for the rod bolts to clear the bottoms of the bores. To do this at home will require you test fit the crank and a rod to each bore, marking the area to be cut, and then getting out the die grinder. A nice surface is achieved using a finishing roll to polish it up.Here is our assembled bottom end. If you already have the heads you want, you can purchase the short-block by itself, or even just the balanced internals from Hensley.Another view of the bottom end shows the piston location in the bottom of the bore. The final assembly with cylinder boring is perfectly square. All 318 stroker blocks get a minimum .090-inch bore cleanup for a final bore size of 4.00 inch. That big .090 cut number is possible due to the sonic testing done before the block is chosen.This photo shows why clearancing was needed. The rod-bolt ends and nuts would be cruisin' for a bruisin' without it.There is no question that behind every great racing engine is a great oil pump. If this thing breaks, everything else often dies right along with it, so it is critical to make the right choice the first time. The 318 stoker-package receives this high-volume, internally-mounted pump built by Melling, which also does a lot of pumps for NASCAR applications.It is possible to option out your wet-sump oiling system with the pan and pick-up, which again is dictated by your needs. A street motor may need the simple stock pan (shown at right), Mopar Performance, or Milodon steel replacement unit. Race engines can use the Milodon setup with either the static pick-up and deeper sump, or the swinging pick-up in applications when hard shifts and wheel-standing weight transfer will take the pan and oil to non level positions. Note the sump baffling welded into the aluminum pan. Matt Hensley can also fabricate a custom pan for your car or street rod if that is what it needs. Of course, you could also be the first guy on your block with a dry-sumped 318, but you'd better have your wallet handy.
Regardless of the heads selected, quality valvetrain hardware is critical. There are various rocker arms and accessories used to make those lumps on your cam open and close the valves. Again, in street applications, most engines can get by with a non-adjustable stamped-steel rocker. these are heavy-duty versions from Mopar Performance on our motor.Want to 'rock' with something a little more radical? For mechanical and roller cams, you can select from versions done by Crane, Harland Sharp, Indy, Norris, Competition Cams and Mopar; Hensley carries them all. For high-lift, big-spring applications, aftermarket rocker shafts that won't flex like the factory OEM versions will also be a part of the valvetrain rebuilding.The standard basic package for a street application will use factory 360 heads that have been completely redone by Hensley's shop crew, with all new hardware and a great multi-angle valve job and bowl clean up. So your 318 now includes a pair of street/strip heads that are pressure-tested, surface-milled for clean up, and have bronze-wall valveguides installed for starters. To this, you can add swirl-polished, stainless-steel valves (2.02 intake/1.60 exhaust), 10-degree Comp Cams valve locks, Manley retainers, and MP single-coil or Comp Cams or Crane double-coil springs based on application. The springs are also checked for spring height and pressure.If you have the dough and desire, the next step would be a set of Edelbrock's aluminum beauties, which will also get port work that Hensley Performance refers to as Stage 1. This includes bowl cleanup and runner smoothing. Again, name-brand parts are part of the package that Edelbrock puts together, and the Performer RPM intake that comes standard on every 402 stroker engine was designed for these babies.If you really need your 402 to flat-out scream, Hensley will set up the short-block to work with these aluminum 'heavy metal' (in name only) gems from Indy Cylinder Heads. The Indy heads will flow more fuel than anything else available off-the-shelf, but the matching high-rise, single-plane intake is really more of a race-only piece that turns on as the rpm climb above 5,500 or so. Other changes to the basic stroker package will be needed to get the revs up high enough to make the Indy heads work effectively.Time Loves a Hero
We all know that camshaft selection can be daunting, but the crate engine ideal has taken a lot of the guesswork out. For this engine, Ken prefers to stick with the Comp Cams Extreme Energy H274 design (.488/.491), which will be a terrific hydraulic bumpstick for most street applications. but, in the end, he makes the final cam selection based on the customer's needs.Induction Ceremony
The standard intake that HRE uses on this package is Edelbrock Performer RPM, which works very well with the increased displacement. Mopar Muscle readers who follow our tech writing will be familiar with this dual-plane design, as it really works. For this combination, a 750 Demon from Barry Grant is used.Here is the crew of the shop and what they do when they are not busy building your engine-helping Matt with his wheelstanding SS/A Hemi Barracuda that is the current IHRA national record holder. Virtually all the hardware on this beast came right from the shop, including Matt's own custom Hemi intakes. From left: Matt, Ken, and Jack Moore are behind the car, while Sam Tyler and Richie Corum are in front of the back fender.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Pete Carroll and John Fox met the media one
last time on Friday and both coaches seemed at ease just a few days before
Sunday's Super Bowl showdown.
Both were asked if there was some aspect on the other's team that they wished
they had. Fox wouldn't elaborate, saying only that he admires Seattle's
secondary, while Carroll said he'd love to have Denver's scoring ability.
"We'd like to have their points," said Carroll with a nod to Fox sitting
nearby. "How many did you score, like 800? That would help out our defense."
The coaches shared a microphone as reporters asked questions and were seated
with the Lombardi Trophy between them.
"The trophy really does symbolize the ultimate challenge in coaching and our
profession," stated Carroll, who will be a head coach in the Super Bowl for
the first time.
Fox will coach in his second Super Bowl, having guided Carolina to the contest
after the 2003 season. New England captured a 34-31 win over his Panthers in
"It's the pinnacle for probably everybody who does what we do," said Fox about
the Super Bowl. "This is the pinnacle of it. Like different levels football,
there's only one happy camper at the end and that's the team that's going to
be hoisting that trophy."
Both coaches reflected on mentors. Fox mentioned four-time Super Bowl-winning
coach Chuck Noll of Pittsburgh and Carroll commented on Bud Grant, who took
the Minnesota Vikings to four Super Bowls without winning any.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons are an imperfect 4-0.
Matt Ryan, whose health is crucial to the Falcons' continued success, was sacked a career-high seven times. Smith says pass protection must improve but the line doesn't deserve all the blame.
Smith says the defense gave up too many explosive plays to Cam Newton and the Panthers.
Smith also critiqued himself. He says he was too emotional when he grabbed assistant coach Ray Hamilton as the Falcons had only 10 defensive players on the field in the closing seconds.
Despite the imperfections, Atlanta leads second-place Carolina and Tampa Bay by three games in the NFC South.
The Falcons play Sunday at Washington.

AUBURN, Wash. (Sept. 14, 2012) – Rockymstar held off betting favorite Tapadero for a 2-½-length victory Friday in the $9,350 TPS Snoqualmie Ridge Purse for 3-year-olds and up at Emerald Downs.
Ridden by Juan Gutierrez, Rockmystar led gate-to-wire in 1:14.94 for 6-½ furlongs and paid $16.40, $7 and $5.
Trained by Jim Penney for Homestretch Farm, Rockmystar is the 14th horse with four wins at the meet including Class Included, Kooky Saluki and Rockmystar from the Penney barn.
Rockmystar led through splits of :22.30, :44.50 and 1:08.67—easily fastest of the night—shook off Seven Torrents past mid-stretch and turned aside Tapadero for the victory.
A maiden when the meet began, Rockmystar is 4-0-0 in six starts this season with earnings of $19,322. The 4-year-old gelding is by Stephanotis out of Punxsatawney.
Tapadero, ridden by Rocco Bowen, rallied from fifth to finish second and paid $3.40 and $2.40. It was the third straight second for the 6-year-old gelding.
Seven Torrents, the 5-to-2 second choice ridden by William Antongeorgi, finished third and paid $3.20. Who's Your Next Ex, Snow On the River and Chicks Dig Him completed the order of finish.
Gutierrez rode two winners on the seven-race card—the 32nd time in 76 days with at least two wins—and leads Leslie Mawing 105-88 in the jockeys' standings.
NOTES: Bleu Tarp ($4.40) won the opener—a mixed race for Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses—in a track record :45.78 for 870 yards. A 6-year-old Thoroughbred, Bleu Tarp was ridden by Eliska Kubinova for trainer Bill Tollett and owner Stephen Quilici….Kubinova rode three winners on the card—two Thoroughbred, one Quarter Horse—to extend her single-season apprentice mark to 73 wins. Her victory on Mile Easy ($7.20) in the nightcap improved her record to a combined seven-for-13 with trainer Bonifacio Rayas…Frank Lucarelli and Tim McCanna both went winless and Lucarelli still leads McCanna 43-39 in the trainers' standings. McCanna has only five more days to reel in Lucarelli and claim his 11th Emerald Downs training title…Howard Belvoir saddled Port Wakefield to a $32.80 upset in the fifth race and is third with 33 wins…Belvoir sends out all-time EmD earnings leader Wasserman ($558,088) in Saturday's $14,800 feature race for 3-year-olds and up at six furlongs. Rainier Ice, runner-up to Winning Machine in the Budweiser Handicap, is the 9-to-5 morning line favorite, with Seminole Brave second choice at 7-to-2…First post Saturday is 2 p.m.

When I went to college for this I knew that I would never get rich and that was ok because it was more than enough pay to get by. That is hardly the case now with the rapid inflation of the past five years. The other negative is that while everyone is hunting im working. It is hard to get off to hunt while your working for the other sportsmen during that particular hunting season. If I would have went into fisheries I think it would have been easier to hunt. That being said it is a great job that I don't dread getting up for on most days and wouldn't b qualified for much else.

However, while on their honeymoon in sunny Mexico, Lila reveals her true beyond-awful nature and Eddie meets Miranda, the woman he realizes to be his actual soul mate. Eddie must keep his new, increasingly horrid wife at bay as he attempts to woo the girl of his dreams.
Once a the filmmaking standard in raunch, disgust, and double-dildo humor, the Farrelly brothers have slipped into a coma in recent years. Theyve gone soft. Their last movie was about retarded people but it was endorsed by the Special Olympics. Theyve lost their touch for offense. Either theyve lost it, or simply given it up willingly. Either way, in the process theyve become completely irrelevant.
This fall Ben Stiller and the Farrelly Brothers are getting back together in an attempt to re-create the magic that made Something About Mary such a cultural touchstone with a remake of the 1972 Elaine May movie The Heartbreak Kid. While Ben Stiller may not exactly be genius, hes at least an upgrade from the original movies star, Charles Grodin.
The plot of the film sounds like fertile territory for a Farrelly return to the despicable, low brow, worn out crap that made them famous in the first place. It also presents plenty of opportunities for Ben Stiller to get frustrated and angry. He may even accidentally set something on fire, or perhaps hell battle a ferret, a small fluffy dog, or even a cat.

Alex Young
Senior Util
Indian Creek
The definition of a utility player is one that does it all. Young, a quarterback, certainly did for Andrew Connor's club as he helped lead the Redskins back to the playoffs. He completed 69 of 104 passes for 1,022 yards and 15 touchdowns while gaining 378 yards (5.17 a carry) and scoring eight more times while running the ball. Young returned a pair of punts and a kickoff for scores (he had 102 points) and kicked 20 PATs and a field goal.
Adam White
Senior OL
Everyone knows the Mohigans love to run the ball, and they did so extremely well behind this first team all-state selection. Morgantown advanced to the state semifinals behind a punishing ground attack that churned out more than 3,500 yards. Coach John Bowers will surely miss the 6-foot-3, 285-pound three-year starter who had more than 50 pancake blocks.
Zach Coole
Senior OL
Martins Ferry
Coole and his Purple Riders linemates had to learn on the fly this season. Usually the author of one of the area's top ground games, Martins Ferry took to the air which meant more pass blocking for a unit that hasn't had to do that all that much in its career. A three-year starter and captain, Coole, a 5-11, 225-pound guard, graded out at 92 percent this season.
Corey Ernest
Senior OL
St. Clairsville
A team's skill position players, for the most part, are only as good as the offensive line allows. Nobody was more explosive in the open field than the Red Devils, so that has to mean they were good up front. The best of that bunch was Ernest, who helped open up major holes all season. The majority of St. Clairsville's games this season were over before halftime, and some even earlier.
Jake Fieler
Senior OL
Parkersburg South
Coach Jon Bolen calls this 6-6, 285-pound giant quite the college prospect, and with that frame it's not hard to see why. But Fieler was much more than a big body for the Patriots, whose promising season was derailed by a series of injuries. He just recently turned 17 so there is room for both growth - yikes - and improvement.
Matt Hackathorn
Junior OL
Wheeling Park
It's not often that a 6-4, 235-pound offensive lineman comes out of nowhere, but Hackathorn almost did. You have to say almost because Coach Chris Daughtery and company were expecting a huge season from the underclassman and he delivered. Already getting college interest with a season of eligibility remaining, Hackathorn graded out at 90 percent and has ''a very good work ethic and lots of tools.''
Jaylon Brown
Junior RB
St. Clairsville
His two Division-I teammates get most of the attention, but every coach in the state of Ohio knows who he is. Virtually unstoppable and a tough runner for his size, Brown was and is the heart of the Red Devils. He ran for more than 1,700 yards and scored 40 touchdowns en route to being named second team All-Ohio. In addition, he hauled in more than 400 yards worth of passes.
Chazzy Thomas
Junior RB
As explosive a back as we had in the OVAC this year, Thomas unfortunately had his second cut short in the next-to-last regular-season game when he suffered a broken and dislocated ankle. Before he left though, the first team all-stater carried 157 times for 1,503 yards (9.7 avg.) and 20 touchdowns. Thomas also had two catches - one for a touchdown - and despite teams kicking away from him, four kickoff returns for 60 yards.
Maurtice Hython
Senior RB
Harrison Central
A third team All-Ohio selection, Hython was once again a beast for Coach Justin Kropka's club and is a repeat honoree. He helped get the Huskies into the playoffs for just the second time in school history, dragging two and sometimes three tacklers every step of the way. Nimble for such a big, powerful back, Hython ran for nearly 2,000 yards and 20 scores while also gaining nearly 250 yards receiving.
Matt Kinnick
Senior QB
St. Clairsville
The maestro of the high-powered Red Devils, Kinnick was equally adept at running and throwing the football on his way to picking up All-Ohio honors. A repeat selection on our list, Kinnick put up astronomical numbers this season, throwing for more than 4,000 yards and 41 touchdowns, including 474 yards and four scores in the state title game. Equally as impressive, Kinnick only threw six interceptions. He also ran for eight scores.
Rashaen Mitchell
Senior QB
Harrison Central
If Hython was the Huskies' thunder, then Mitchell was certainly their lightning. Mitchell kept opposing defensive coordinators up late at night trying to figure out how they would stop both his left arm and his legs. Mitchell completed 60 percent of his passes, threw for more than 1,500 yards and 15 scores. He was only intercepted five times and when he wasn't heaving the football, was scrambling for extra yardage.
Eric Banks
Junior WR
Wheeling Park
Not matter what phase of the game, this guy was a threat to take the ball to the end zone every time he touched the football in helping lead the Patriots to their second consecutive West Virginia Class AAA playoff berth. A second team all-state selection, he caught 39 passes for 650 yards and seven touchdowns and returned six punts for 94 yards and another score.
Matt Petrella
Senior WR
Pound-for-pound one of the toughest hombres in the OVAC, Petrella made for a nice target for a first-year quarterback. Coach Reno Saccoccia's team made another playoff appearance and Petrella was a major contributor. He caught 34 passes for 468 yards and was named All-OVAC and and All-Quad County. In addition, Petrella made 32 tackles on defense.
Bryce Ingram
Junior Utility
Wheeling Park
A jack-of-all trades, few were more explosive when getting into the open field than Ingram. He burst onto the scene last year but took it up another notch in 2012. Ingram, also a second team all-state pick, scored 13 total TDs this season for the Patriots, running up 1,162 yards on the ground and another 21 receiving. He also spent some time at defensive back.
Jerrid Marhefka
Senior Utility
St. Clairsville
What can you say about a guy who sets a state-finals record 272 yards and four touchdowns on nine catches? That's exactly what this dandy did for McLean's crew. He proved to be the yin to Monteroso's yang on the offensive side of the football. On the defensive side, Marhefka was as good a lock-down defender as there was in the area.
Billy Kinney
Junior Kicker
When John Kelley's offense stalled, he had no worries sending out this 6-3, 187-pounder. Kinney was 8 of 9 on field-goal attempts, connecting on kicks of 42, 43, 29, 42, 33, 27, 42, 37 and 27 yards. He averaged 58.4 yards per kickoff with 28 of those resulting in touchbacks.
Nick Pelegreen
Senior LB
Harrison Central
All you need to know about this guy, is that he finished up his stellar career with as Harrison Central's all-time leading tackler and also holds the record for stops in a single season. Also a standout tight end, Pelegreen was credited with more than 130 tackles this season as the Huskies made their way back into the playoffs.
Cody Schau
Senior DB
Martins Ferry
A first team all-state selection, Schau was dangerous whenever he touched the ball, be in on offense or defense. He was the area's leading receiver (58 catches, 863 yards and nine scores), but made his name on the defensive side of the football. Schau made 58 tackles and intercepted eight passes this season.
Preston Murray
Senior DL
Oak Glen
A finalist for the Hunt award last season and a two-time, first team all-stater, Murray was a beast up front for first-year coach Ian Whittington's club. A 6-1, 225-pound tackle, Murray registered 53 tackles including eight for a loss, and even intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown.
Manard Reed
Senior DL
The rock of the Steubenville defense, Reed made it hard for the opposition to move the ball running the football. The team MVP, Reed made 44 stops and was charted with five sacks. He was also All-OVAC, All-Quad City and All-District in helping Steubenville return to the playoffs.
Montel McClelland
Senior DL
Indian Creek
A three-year letterwinner, McClelland (6-1, 215) never met an offensive lineman he couldn't beat, and his stats bear that. He recorded 20 tackles, 17 assists, nine sacks. In addition, McClelland had 26 QB hurries, broke up two passes, had an interception and caused and recovered a fumble. He was first team All-Eastern District.
Jay Gossett
Senior DL
St. Clairsville
If you take a look at most of the pictures of the St. Clairsville defense that appeared in local newspapers this season, you saw a common theme - Gossett chasing down the opposing quarterback. The Red Devils were underrated on that side of the ball, but everyone knew who Gossett was and where he was on the field.
Michael Ferns
Junior LB
St. Clairsville
Ferns committed to the University of Michigan prior to the season and then went out and made sure everyone recognized he was every bit worthy of the attention. A first team All-Ohio pick, Ferns again made more than 100 tackles and was the backbone of the Red Devils' defense. Oh, and he found time to wreck people on the other side of the ball as a fullback.
Geremy Paige
Junior LB
Wheeling Park
The leading tackler on Wheeling Park's team last season as a sophomore, Paige proved in 2012 that it was certainly no fluke. Also named first team All-West Virginia, Paige recorded 123 tackles and was unblockable at times. In addition, he recorded three sacks and saw carries out of the backfield on offense.
Shane Winland
Senior LB
Indian Creek
A four-year letterwinner, Winland played middle linebacker, offensive line and was the long snapper for the Redskins. A 6-0, 240-pounder, he was charted with 91 total tackles - 47 solos - and had six QB hurries, two sacks, a pass breakup and caused a pair of fumbles.
Jalen Thomas
Senior LB
He was the leader of the Mohigans' rock-ribbed defense this season. A 5-10, 230-pound three-year starter for Coach Bowers, Thomas made 104 tackles during the regular season. In addition, he was charted with seven tackles for a loss, one sack, one pass breakup and a forced fumble.
Logan Cox
Senior DB
Parkersburg South
A 6-3, 200-pound physical corner, Cox wasn't afraid to come up and lay the wood to opposing ballcarriers. While cornerbacks are generally thought to not want to hit, Cox, who registered 88 tackles this season, seemed intent to defy that label. He also intercepted five passes.
Shane Commodore
Senior DB
A second team all-state selection, Commodore became a household name when he went nuts running the football during the regular season. Those who follow Morgantown though, already knew who he was because of his defensive exploits. Commodore had 76 tackles, six for loss, and a sack, while also breaking up six passes.
Dion Cunningham
Senior DB
A four-year starter for Kelley, he led the club in tackles this season with 76. Cunningham added six tackled for a loss and four interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Offensively he had 23 catches and three touchdowns to go along with 210 return yards.
Logan Woods
Senior DB
Indian Creek
While many of the other defensive backs on this list were tackle machines, Woods was best when in coverage for the Redskins. He recorded 28 total tackles, including a sack, but broke up five passes and caused a fumble. Woods also had 874 yards and nine TDs rushing to go along with 187 yards in kickoff returns.
Alex Weidman
Senior Utility
Weidman, who has family in Wheeling, makes it as a utility selection because of the versatility to play both linebacker and safety. At 5-9, 175 pounds, he was a three-year starter for the Mohigans. Weidman 52 tackles, three of which went for losses, and three pass breakups. Offensively he had more than 500 yards and nine touchdowns.
Jack Armstrong
Senior Utility
No matter what was needed, Armstrong came through for the Hawks. He secured 28 tackles and four interceptions while playing defense. Not only that, but offensively Armstrong totaled 654 yards and scored 11 touchdowns while rushing, receiving and returning kicks.
Clayton Flowers

He may have lacked in size (5-6, 155 pounds), but he made up for it in toughness. One of the leaders on a Golden Bears squad that lost several to graduation, Flowers played free safety and did so well. He was charted with 87 tackles including a loss, and also intercepted three passes.

What symptoms appear if clutch plates aren't flat?
If your friction plates are worn out or damaged you might want to upgrade with a set of Barnett or the Surflex plates sold by Hitchcock's. I use the Surflex plates with no slippage whatsoever. I also have the upgraded clutch basket which has upgraded friction rings that are trued once they are installed.
Help me out with the lingo - I'm looking into buying new parts. Nfield gear sells Barnett "friction" plates while Hitchcocks sells Surflex "Clutch" plates. Snidal lists them as "friction plates" and "intermediate" plates. If i'm replacing the plates, what am I looking for?Thanks.
Technically the thick outer steel plate with the triangular hole pattern that the springs push against is your pressure plate. The steel plates that make up the clutch pack are specified as flat or dished.
I expected a reaction like that from you Scotty J. Boggy states he's having problems understanding nomenclature or lingo for the different parts. After reading your post I put in my two cents so he doesn't get even more confused. And just to clear the air, I have never stated I know everything. I really only comment on things I do know. Unlike yourself who comments on anything and everything for the sake of being what you have described me...... a know-it-all. If you look at how many posts I have made over the many years I have been a member of this forum to the number of posts you have made in your short time as a member it is quite apparent who is who.
I expected a reaction like that from you Scotty J. Boggy states he's having problems understanding nomenclature or lingo for the different parts...........
Seriously, who talks like that about bikes?
Seriously, who quotes Alibaba? Get yourself a parts book. Book + Read= Education

We're using resource accounts on Zimbra GA 8.0.0 (Ubuntu 64 bit) as a poor man's public folders. We would like them to appear in the GAL, so that when web client users are creating a message, they can easily address it to one of these resource accounts.
I've already tried the following:
zmprov mcf zimbraGalAlwaysIncludeLocalCalendarResources TRUE
And ensured that each resource has the GAL attributes properly set:
zimbra:~$ zmprov ga email@example.com | grep Gal
zimbraFeatureGalAutoCompleteEnabled: TRUE
zimbraFeatureGalEnabled: TRUE
zimbraFeatureGalSyncEnabled: TRUE
zimbraGalSyncAccountBasedAutoCompleteEnabled: TRUE
zimbraPrefGalAutoCompleteEnabled: TRUE

Music Interview #003 - Icy Demons
Music Interview #003 - Icy Demons
Again, we turn it over the James Harry Ewert Jr for the lowdown...
Since my first experience with the Demons I've had the pleasure of getting to know the members on a personal and professional basis. To prelude the release of their forthcoming album which has yet to be titled and in lead up to their Feb. 13th show at The Subterranean with fellow Chicagoans Mahjongg (click here for tickets), The Post Family and I decided to check up on the band and ask them a bunch of silly questions. Hopefully someone out there is listening…
There was a period of time several years ago when I had a faint idea of who the Icy Demons were. I had seen their name in a lot of places, beautifully printed on gig posters, Xeroxed on show fliers, and a good buddy Chad Kouri even brought me to see their set when they played The Pitchfork Music Festival in 2008. Still though, despite all the clues and a rather inebriated experience seeing them play, it wasn't until the band's 2008 album Miami Ice was put in front of me that I finally understood what all hype was about. I knew Icy Demons' sound was something of conglomeration of global influences mixed with a kind of tripped-out jazz center. I knew they were a bunch of local kids with a lot of ties to Chicago's independent art scene and they liked having a good time. But for some reason it never clicked until I sat down one day to listen to Miami Ice in its entirety. What happened in those 40 minutes that followed can only be understood if you've seen the final scene in Beetlegeuse where Winona Ryder's character Lydia dances to the Harry Belafonte song Jump in the Line. I was moved with this supernatural urge to sway my hips and did so with a shy but unabashed confidence. The album took me on a strange journey through some whacked-out musical corridors and left me in an amazingly satisfied state of disbelief. To me, the concept of originality may as well be to artists what the "dragon" is to the perpetually stoned—an aggressive illusion that will always remain out of reach. That's why I was so taken aback by the album, it seemed to have momentarily held that mythical dragon of originality long enough to trace and define it's jagged contour.
James Harry Ewert Jr.: What can you tell us about the new album? How is the sound developing? Is there a title yet?
Dylan Ryan (Drummer): We're almost done, but the title will find the record. We just wait and grab it when it shows up. As far as the process, all the records have been kind of unique and in their own world, but there are certainly common threads. I guess the thing that's been different with the current record is that we've played some of these tunes on our last tour in Europe, so they've evolved differently, live that is.
Jeremiah Chiu (Keys/Guitar/Electronics): I joined in with the Demons about 2 years ago now, and previous to that, there have only been a handful of tours with a changing lineup. I think this new record is going to sound more like a "band" than it's ever sounded, and we're really excited about that. It's definitely our main focus now, shifting from "side project" (according to p4k) to real project to real good project.
JHEJR: Your music is really genre-defying and displays wide variety of musical. What can you attribute to this? Is it just that there's a general sense of eclectic spontaneity in band or do you think some of your previous lineup changes might have an influence in the sound.
DR: We generally write collectively through improvisations and because we practice in the studio, so we can totally use that as a tool. A little more CAN documentary than Some Kind Of Monster, though.
JC: Spontaneity combined with not being afraid to experiment or jam on random idea. It's all about the follow through. Collectively, everyone brings their own influences into the music. We all have different musical backgrounds from children's choirs to metal bands. I don't think we really do too much "pre-planning" we just get in a room together and dance. I do think the lineup influences the sound, different people have different things to bring to the table. Hope you like synthesizers. :)
JHEJR: You've recently undergone some changes to your lineup, can you fill us in? Also, with Dylan moving to Los Angeles, how are you preparing to handle that?
DR: Mad Boy Sharck "Chris" has recently donned the breastplate and mounted the icy steed. We've all been from Chicago the last 2 years, so it's been really nice to be able to work more regularly, and at the same time, there have been members in NYC, Athens, and Philly as well. It's really pretty easy when only one person is living elsewhere, and although we all have stuff going on, Icy Demons is top priority for all of us.
JC: Totally. mAD bOy sHarCK attACK!
JHEJR: It's important for people to know that you guys aren't just hobo musicians playing music for free PBR's and Grolsch. Of the people in your band, how many have musical (or non-musical) side-projects. Do you think your ability to create through other mediums helps you to communicate and produce better as individual artists and musicians?
DR: New Jack Hustlers. There's Herculaneum, Michael Columbia, Bronze, Obey Your Brain, The Shape Shoppe, and Plural.
JC: Griffin's a great engineer and records people all the time, He's worked with Beirut, Chandeliers, Killer Whales, Bird Names, Buffalo Stance, Need New Body, ManMan, etc... I run Plural and Chris creates fine arts. Chris and I previously played in The Brown Party. I think all of our outside activities produce greater results. I often look to the design process to help me work through an idea, solve a problem and vice versa. All outside influences are valuable. Knowledge is power.
JHEJR: I like to ask every band I interview what were the members last or current day jobs and if they remember a moment when they stopped working a "day job" to become a full-time or "professional" musician?
DR: No, there wasn't a specific day, but let's just say it was when Maradona scored against England in 1986 World Cup quarter final. Everything changed after that.
JC: Speaking of soccer, if you haven't seen/heard this, you must [embeded below].
JHEJR: Now, I wouldn't go so far as to call the Icy Demons seasoned veterans of the Chicago music scene, but you're certainly a group that has been standing out for quite some time. Do you have any advice for bands or musicians trying to get their act together?
DR: I guess it's always good to listen to, read, and watch what artists you like, listened to, read, or watched.
JC: In the words of Dylan Ryan, "It's no hobby."
JHEJR: Speaking of Chicago, what are your collective thoughts on the Chicago music-scene? Who are some Chicago-based acts you've been digging lately, helping out or working with? How does the scene here compare to where you grew up?
DR: The Chicago music scene is really pretty unreal. It's just so full of totally bad-ass motherfuckers, across the board. I always say how nice it is that there's so much cross over, and I know that informed a lot of us. For me, seeing Weasel Walter and Ken Vandermark do the Lutenbachers as well as a ton of other projects in and out of the whole no wave scene while I was so totally green was pretty good boot camp.
JC: I agree with Dylan, Chicago scene is awesome. It's that Midwestern work ethic. Currently, we're all from Chicagoland. I think there's some amazing music coming out of Chicago RIGHT NOW. Mahjongg and Chandeliers new records are SLAMMING. Bird Names, Killer Whales, Pit er Pat (now in LA), Magical Beautiful, Mucca Pazza, Lazer Crystal, Axis:Sova, Dan Jugle, the Wednesday night Hideout Jazz scene, Berman, Reed, Rosaly, Abrams, Adasiewicz, Rempis, Broste, LaPine and tons more, those dudes are SICK. The takeover starts now.
JHEJR: This is a super vague question, but I like asking people anyways. Why do you make music and what is your music about?
DR: Everyone is different, but I know it makes us happy to play music with each other and I hope we make people who hear us or see us happy to boogie down on our wavelength and just vibe on an energy that works for them.
JC: It's all about the transference of positive energy, and dope beatz. Collective consciousness.
JHEJR: Milkshake or bannasplit?
JHEJR:Trampoline or balance beam?
DR:Elisabeth Perkins in Big. Period.
JC:Mary Lou Retton
JHEJR: x-ray vision or super strength?
DR: It's good to have options.
JC: Xray Strength, the kind the airport has.
JHEJR: would you rather be rich and ugly or poor and beautiful?
DR: Bon Jovi pulled off both.
JHEJR: Rolling Stones or The Beatles?
DR: Beatles
JHEJR: bike or skateboard?
DR: Skateboard
JHEJR: would you rather surf the Internet or ocean?
DR: Utah, get me two!
JHEJR: What's in your pocket right now?
RD: Have you ever seen a crisp 50 dollar bill?
JHEJR: What's the last joke you remember hearing?
DR: Have you ever seen a crisp 50 dollar bill?
JHEJR: Coffee or tea?
DR: Italian Speedball
JHEJR: Would you rather end hunger or hatred?

Seems to have been asked plenty without answer.
Is there any way to have the google calendar actually sync with the zimbra rather than have the zimbra desktop merely import the google.
You can look at the 2 together but not have them become one via 2 way sync.
Any ideas please as the rest of the application for google as a default email is perfect.

******* If you downloaded a copy of ZimbraSession.pm and it's not working ******* It's because I uploaded a broken copy. Please re-download the file
******* It should be working fine now. Sorry.
Hey all, I don't know if something already exist like this but I wrote a simple Perl module to simplify SOAP communications with the Zimbra server. Basically I just took some of the existing Perl scripts and converted them into methods, and put them in one module. Hopefully this can be of some use to someone. If some one knows of a better module please let me know. Or if you upgrade and make this one better please let me know. I will attach the module, and the crappy example file I made. Below is the example file so you can see how it's used. All the methods are really only for dealing with the Calendar because that's all I need it for. Hopefully someone will add to it and covert the scripts for email's to methods for this module.
This is how to use the module:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use lib '/usr/local/src/Zimbra/'; # Holds Soap.pm, Soap11, Soap12 Sudds.., XmlDoc, XmlElement, and ZimbraSession
use ZimbraSession;
################################################## ############
# All these methods return the SOAP response from the server.
################################################## ############
# Create New Appointment
# As an option you can set acctns and mailns. By default they are set to urn:zimbraAccount and urn:zimbraMail respectively.
my $zs = ZimbraSession->new(
{name => 'Display Name', login => 'username'},
# {acctns => '', mailns => ''}
my $attendees = [
{name => 'Matt Foley', email => 'firstname.lastname@example.com'},
{name => 'Bill Brasky', email => 'email@example.com'}
]; # List of attendees to invite to an appointment
# For now this will only set an appointment in your default Calendar.
# These are not recurring appointmetns like the createAppt.pl script
my $appointment = $zs->createAppt(
'Subject', 'Location',
'', # Show as
'', # Calendar
'Start Time',
'End Time',
'', # Recuring
'Plain Text Message',
"HTML Message",
# Cancel Appointment
my $cancel_appointment = $zs->cancelAppt($invId, $subject, $message, $attendees);
# Retrieve an Appointment
my $appointment = $zs->getAppt($apptId);
# Retrieve Appointment Summaries
my $summaries = $zs->getApptSummaries($start_time, $end_time);
# Modify an Appointment
my $modified_appt = $zs->modifyAppt(
$invId, $mode, $end_time,
$subject, $message, $location,
$current_attendees, $new_attendees
# Create Folder
# Right now I believe this only creates Calendars, because that's all I needed, but it can easily be modifed to
# create folders. You just need to figure out the correct 'view' and edit it the method.
my $folder = $zs->createFolder($folder_name);
# Delete Folder
# I dont think you can use the folder name here.
# The folder id is returned in the respone from createFolder();
my $deleted_folder = $zs->deleteFolder($folder_id);

WASHINGTON – Fairfax County officials want to bring 911 texting to the county's residents.
Sharon Bulova, chairperson of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, says the county would like to add the option of texting to its existing 911 emergency system if the technical problems can be worked out.
"It looks like an innovative opportunity to offer to people in addition to making to a phone call," Bulova says.
The texting option would allow residents to text a message to emergency responders if they cannot make a telephone call. The text could include a brief message describing where you are and what the emergency is.
"It's not without some difficulties and we just want to make sure the bugs are worked out prior to our adopting something to make sure that it's going to work for our citizens," Bulova says.
A major failure in the region's 911 emergency system during last summer's derecho has led to increased scrutiny of the system's backbone technology and has prompted calls for faster upgrades.
But upgrading to a "next generation" 911 system will take time and the technology is still evolving. Officials envision that in the future, residents will be able to send videos, photos and text messages from any device with Internet access.
In December, the Federal Communications Commission said the country's four largest wireless carriers agreed to relay text messages to 911 centers by 2014. The carriers cover most users, but only a few 911 centers accept the messages.
A 911 center in Iowa began receiving texts in 2009 and trials are currently happening in Vermont.
The FCC said texting to 911 could be useful when a phone call could put the caller in danger. Texting could also aid a person with disabilities who is unable to call.

Failure to complete Diver Certification prior to use of this product, may result in injury or death
I dont quite understand why a dive can only last 2 hours. What limits the dive to this amount of time? If I used an electrical supply from a sail boat that has rechargable batteries can the 2 hours be extented to several hours? My need for a Hookah is for bottom cleaning a 44 ft sailboat. The keel is 7 from the water line so depth is not a problem but time is if I can only depend on this model 2 hours at a time.
The time is based on using a single battery, of course if you have a continous power supply it will be as long as you want.
The 2 hour dive time is the average amount of time it takes this unit to drain a basic car-type 12 volt battery to the point it doesn't have enough charge to operate the unit. Additional power sources would extend the dive time, but also keep in mind this is a recreational unit and not a commercial unit and is not designed for extended use or even potentially daily use over and extended period of time.
This is my idea, please let me know if you think it will work: If I ran a small 1000w silent generator on the deck of my pontoon boat and clipped the positive and negative to the terminals on the gen will it work correctly?
Announcing Model 12V160-3. Another in the long line of Air Line firsts.
Thomas Industries once again comes through for The Air Line with a tough compact, single-head compressor that goes beyond -- actually, way below -- diving just under the hull.
Terrific option for sail boaters, power boaters who don't want to carry gas, and metal detectives who want to keep a low, quiet profile.
What better way to do those really fun projects like scraping barnacles, changing zincs, chopping line off the prop. No tank to bop the gel coat, no yo-yoing up and down til your lungs give out.
For you folks who like numbers:
Performance: 3.25 CFM @ 0PSI, 2.18 @ 50. One to depth of 50 feet. *See Foot Note
Motor: .1/3 HP DC. Rated Load: 26 AMPS.
Recommended Battery: Group 31 Marine. (Expect two hours of operation.) Group 27. (Expect one hour, 20 minutes.) One D-Cell. (Expect ridicule.) Running the boat engine will keep the battery charged.
CAUTION: Exhaust fumes from other resources are toxic. (outboards, generators etc.) Ensure that the intake air is uncontaminated. A low-cost, remote air intake hose can be ordered.
Weight: 23 lbs. Size: 12' by 8' by 6' high on white, rubber feet. (Allow 19' L for hose bend, cables and overpressure, Quiet Valve)
Mounting Notes: The compressor can be custom mounted in any position.
And what ABOUT those underwater metal detector guys. In public places they need to accomplish two things to get the prize: They need relative silence, and zero fume emissions. Enter the stealthy Air Line 12 Volt system. (This approach is so effective that The Air Line should get half of the finds. But we will cede all pull-tabs)
The Standard gear Package:
Air Line/Thomas 12 volt Single Piston Compressor
5' US Navy heat hose w/ over pressure valve
60' fully swiveled, individual diver hose
Washable, stainless-steel particle filters
Tow Belt
1 Weight Belt
Adjustable, hookah-specific, 2nd stage regulator w/fully rotational, 360º swivel
Owners manual
Understanding 12 Volt/DC, its limitations and proper usage as an air-breathing device under water.
The Air Line Model 12V160-3, just as it comes from the factory, is an excellent and efficient tool for providing breathing air in the situations for which it is intended: The sailor who needs to work on the hull when underway. The metal detector user searching for treasure (perceived, or otherwise) in the lake or river.
It's important, however, to understand that the performance of a 12Volt compressor is directly related to its AMP draw. AMP is loosely defined as being the strength of electric current. The higher the AMPS, the stronger the current, therefore the stronger the power. Breathing at any level, even at the surface, requires both pressure and volume.
The problem is that at some point, it is impractical to supply the strength to accomplish the job due to battery sizes. Battery banks on large boats, or keeping the motor running will accommodate the AMP power needed for larger compressors. Gas or 110Volt/AC powered units start off with considerable 'strength' and are, therefore, more able to overcome resistance within their given parameters.
Understanding the limitations of the 12V system will arm you with the knowledge to use it safely and efficiently.
As a preface, the Air Line has elected to offer a system based upon reasonable performance and the power needed to make it work within its limitations. Model 12V160-3 has a 'draw' of 26 AMPS. Fairly high, but not impractical (see the website for recommendations on battery size).
Under hard exertion, at even shallow depths, it is possible to 'breathe down' the compressor (consume air at a rate higher than the compressor can generate). The situation can be eased or prevented by slowing down (or even stopping) the activity and allowing the compressor to regenerate air into the hose, rest until breathing is normal, and then establish a pace at which there is no hesitation on the inhalation effort.
Follow these steps initially: Start the compressor, without load, by holding in the purge button on the regulator front (where the logo is). Hold for a few seconds to allow the air to travel from compressor to reg, to get a sense of the air flow. Release the purge and wait several seconds until the hose fills with air and the overpressure valve on the compressor is evacuating the generated air. If you depress the purge as though you are taking a breath, you will note that the air volume is considerably higher than at the start up. The reason for this is simply because you are breathing air from the hose, which acts like a reservoir, rather than directly from the compressor.
Labored breathing from heavy exertion means that the reservoir (hose) is being drained faster than it can supply.
The most positive fix, in preventing over breathing, is the incorporation of an accumulating tank at, or near, the compressor. The tank does not have to be large to be effective for a single diver under heavy exertion. The Accessories page on the website describes a 2-1/2 gallon, light-weight, stainless steel tank that perfectly fits the criteria of adding significant reservoir to the hose volume.
Initial testing was done without an accumulator and at a depth of 60 feet. The activity was very low. Moderate exertion caused labored breathing as the ambient pressure from the water was starting to counterbalance the pressure generated from the compressor. More realistic testing was done at a depth of 15 feet, again, without an accumulator, with a swimmer using a metal detector. Breathing was unlabored.
Thus fortified, with the information above, you can now fully utilize the Model 12V160-3 in all its quiet, fumeless glory.
Some smart options that you can view on the Accessories page:
Padded Gear Bag. (Protect and store)
2-1/5 Gallon Accumulator Tank (A must for two diver applications)
Addit 60' Diver package. (For adding a helper at keel-depth)
1. Q. What exactly is the concept of SSA?
A. Air from a low-pressure compressor at the surface pumps air through a hose and demand second stage regulator system directly to the divers below. Virtually no gear is worn and the divers have a lifeline to the surface with the hose system and a belt that secures the hose and regulator to the body. Top
2. Q. How long will the engines run?
A. Running time on the floating gas-powered models will be 3 hours on 2.5 qts gas. On the commercial XL2 model: 4 hrs on 0.95 gallon, regardless of the number of participants on either. Top
3. Q. Do the motors require an oil gas mix?
A. No. They are four-cycle engines and take unleaded gas with a pump octane rating of 86 or above. Top
4. Q. Are the compressors oil lubricated?
A. No. A Teflon cup on an aluminum piston pulsates inside the cylinder sleeve precluding the need for even rings and seals. Bearings are sealed and grease cannot enter the breathing system. Top
5. Q. What keeps exhaust fumes out of the breathing air?
A. Lawyers and the fear thereof. Mechanically, however, a vertical snorkel draws air in 30 inches above the compressor. Exhaust is shot away horizontally on the opposite side. The way the unit floats, the exhaust will always seek the down wind position. All Air Line system designs meet or exceed Compressed Gas Association Grade E breathing air standards. Top
6. Q. What depths can I reasonably expect on an Air Line?
The XL models will support two to a depth of 85', three to 60 feet, four to 40. The R-4 models will support two to 70 feet, three to 40. The systems are primarily designed for second atmosphere, recreational diving. (Be wary of claims. In our opinion, some manufacturers may exaggerate depth ratings for the air output of their systems. The Air Line chooses to be conservative, basing our depth ratings on people with average diving experience and in average physical condition. The depth capability of a compressor system will be determined by the air output of the compressor. Compare air output.) Top
7. Q. What length are the hoses?
A. They are all arbitrarily 60 feet because we have found this to be an optimal length for common hookah dive profiles. Hose extensions are available for lengthening hoses if desired. We will, however, customize lengths for certain applications such as deck mounting. It is important to understand that each diver has an independent 60 foot down line on an Air Line instead of a single down line. You will get more air volume under pressure in two, three or four hoses than you will through one; Common-Sense 101. There are safety factors involved also. We can discuss these through e-mail or a telephone call. Top
8. Q. Won't a salty environment cause the equipment to rust?
A. It would without a few simple care procedures. The gas-powered compressors are marinized and require no pre-dive procedures. The engines need a bit more attention. When new, thoroughly coat with a marine protectant, such as, Boeshield T-9. After the dive day, a fresh water bath will rinse away accumulated salt, followed by a light touch-up of the protectant. Top
9. Q. Is training needed?
A. Yes. Knowledge of the pertinent laws of physics is essential. Although easier to use as no gear is worn, you are still subject to the same physical laws that relate to scuba diving. BCDs are not discouraged but they are not as critical, as the weight of air in a scuba cylinder is not being consumed. Snorkel vests are an option but remember, you are connected to the surface float through the hose system. Top
10. Q. If the engine runs out of gas, what happens?
A. You are encouraged to come up. Silliness aside, you will be aware when the engine stops as each succeeding breath will require slightly more effort. The air in the hoses is under pressure and supplies a reservoir of air. As you may know, the air in the hoses will naturally increase in volume (i.e., expand) as you rise, so there will be a few more breaths in the hoses. However, The Air Line recommends that the divers carry an independent, back-up air supply (such as a Spare Aiir, see the Accessories section) whether diving on surface supplied air or scuba tanks. Top
11. Q. Are the floating models stable when the sea gets choppy?
A. Yes, but three or four footers are the suggested maximum. when you feel a surge on the hose you will know it's time to call it a day, or at least, go to the surface to evaluate the situation. Top
12. Q. Do the floats tow easily?
A. Yes. The divers being free of gear experience the freedom of snorkelers. Otherwise, the hoses being under pressure will arch gracefully down so the floats are not being pulled awkwardly. The task of towing is shared by at least two anyway. They should never be towed behind a boat except at slow idle. They will sink (no relation). Top
13.Q. How much separation can I expect on the Air Line's individual 60 foot hoses compared to a single down hose with individual 20 foot whips?
**The chart indicates what you can expect in separation and freedom, at depth, by using individual hoses. For instance: At 2nd atmosphere (33 feet) you would be able to explore up to 109 feet apart.
At any depth, on a system with only a single down hose, your separation would always be just 40 feet. ** Top
14. Q. Is there any advantage of having a single down hose?
It might look like a cleaner configuration for pictures, but is that what you're buying it for? (Excuse the answering a question with a question) (Also it's less expensive to provide only one hose.)
15. Q. What then, are the advantages to the Air Line's individual hoses?
A.1. Simple, common sense physics to start. You will have more breathable air volume in multiple hoses than in one hose.
A.2. The aforementioned separation (13.Q.), which equates to freedom (See, also, next answer).
A.3. Imagine being at a depth of say 60 feet around some coral, wreck or rock formations. With the floating, individual hoses you can easily maneuver about unobstructed. On the one down hose at 60 feet, the 20 foot whips will be effectively horizontal, restricting movement to follow-the-leader.
A.4. Let's talk SAFETY! At 60 feet on individual hoses, if one diver needs to reach the surface for any reason, he/she can calmly do so, hand-over-hand to the security of the float or boat. On the single hose, the stressed diver can only ascend 40 feet, the total of the two 20 foot whips. At that point he/she would have to jettison the towing belt, with the regulator, and swim the remaining 20 feet to the surface.
A.5. More on SAFETY. In the event of equipment failure, there will be a small reserve of air trapped in the hoses. There will be more air volume stored under pressure in multiple individual diver hoses than in a single down hose. On the single down hose, all divers must share the air from the one hose. (Note: The Air Line recommends carrying an independent backup air supply, like Spare Air, for all divers, whether on hookah or scuba equipment.)

oooohhh shiny... me likey
According to http://www.profantasy.com/rpgmaps/?p=801 ProFantasy will be releasing FT3 at GenCon this year. It has some interesting features, including some that aren't readily apparent (hint: holding down Shift while activating a feature may lead to new and interesting behaviors).
The big feature is direct CC3 compatibility, with sheets in the output from FT.
It also has a new shader that colors the landscape based on image swatches applied to climate types.
For you Google Earth afficionados, basic KMZ output is also an option.
(there would be an example KMZ file here, but the forum doesn't like that file type)
So is 16-bit PNG heightfields for those times when you need a little better precision for your bump maps.
Overall, it's a pretty reasonable upgrade from the last release, I'd say.

I'll be getting this one! Be nice to see a full list of features though! Not being a CC3 user, export to CC3 doesn't hold a lot of interest for me but the 16 bit heightfields will put this on my must buy list!
Thanks Joe!
I look forward to hearing more. Are there any details (other than the CC3 stuff) that you can share - particularly about the terrain generation aspects, high-res file output, etc. that you can share?
We are already in mid-September! Can't wait for the release!!! I hope that we are able to load the archives from FT Pro to it. I dont want to redo everything that I am doing right now.

Is the GenCon you mentioned the one next August - as in 2012?
A few last-minute bugs turned up that delayed the release to manufacturing, as I understand it.
Ah....well, better to fix them first and prevent angry users from raging about a faulty product!
Any idea when we'll be able to get a list of updated/new features and improvements?
I can't say, sorry.
Understandable....but agonizing

This is one of six maps created for the adventure "Meckwick's Challenge" The maps were first drawn top down in Photoshop over a template created to ensure compatibility with other geomorph maps that are readily available. This rough outline was then taken into Sketchup and modeled into a three dimensional map. A top down and isometric view were exported as jpegs. The lineart of the maps gets a bit wrecked in this process, and I had to redo sections in Photoshop or Illustrator. Once in Photoshop, I added a grid layer and textures for the top down geomorph. The Isometric maps are presented in the book separately and intended as player handouts.
This particular map is the keyed location for a villainous dwarf who operates an iron and steam works for a great city. The dwaves demand higher wages and social standing, but are summarily dismissed. In retaliation, the dwaves launch a campaign of destruction and terror from below the city's streets, and players are tasked with eliminating them.
