Lonestar Round UpWritten by Gerry Burger on October 1, 2010 Contributors: Megan Boyd Long Live The Independent Rod Run
The '10 Lonestar Round Up actually begins with a barbecue on Thursday evening, and then it slows to a crawl-a garage crawl that is. Bright and early Friday morning, the garage crawl takes you on a tour of three very cool shops and ends up at the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas for a brief car show for the kids in the hospital.
It's a great way to kick off a rod run, see a little bit of Austin, and, of course, we're never going to pass up the chance to snoop around in shops like the Austin Speed Shop, Mercury Charlie's, and Pipeworx. The sights and sounds of hot rods motoring around town in the morning is a great way to wake up and start a rod run.
After the breakfast meeting at 7 a.m. the crawl is underway at 8 a.m. sharp. This year the crawl was bigger than ever with around 100 hot rods of every description, taking the tour with leader Mark Gustafson doing a fine job of keeping things together and keeping us on schedule. The hospital show ended around noon and anytime you can put a smile on a kid's face you are having a good day. From there we headed out to the Austin Fairgrounds to join in the first day of the Round Up.
The Kontinentals Car Club does a great job of producing the event and while the growth brings with it challenges, the event still has a very strong independent, down-home feeling with great live music all day long, cool cars, and fun people on hand for the weekend. Add in some almost-fast mini-bike racing in one of the stock barns and you get a feeling for just how much fun this event has to offer. And then there is the whole nightlife thing down on South Congress in downtown Austin.
The cars in attendance are almost entirely vintage-style hot rods, with a mix of primer and rust being the most dominant finishes. Barn finds and cars built in the "as found" finish make for some very interesting hot rods. The cool thing is seeing a row of cars with rust, patina, and gorgeous Candy Apple paint all parked side by side having fun. The mix of cars is impressive too, with a great sampling of cars from the '20s through the '60s on hand. One of the things we really enjoy about the event is the diversity of power for these hot rods; we saw everything from hopped-up Model A four-bangers to a Jag V-12 stuffed between hot rod framerails. And the other refreshing thing about the Round Up was the diversity in age groups, with old gray hairs hanging out with the younger set all centered on building wicked hot rods.
The event is a laid-back affair. The gates open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, but that is probably because of the aforementioned cruising and hanging out on South Congress Street until the wee hours of the morning. Saturday was yet another picture-perfect day with cars and spectators filling the fairgrounds. This event is a reminder that the independent, local club-produced events still have something to offer that professionally produced events can't seem to duplicate. This year even the fairgrounds was getting crowded, so we can only imagine how many cars will show up next year, as you know things tend to be big in Texas. If you're looking for a weekend of fun with hot rodders holding an event that has that old-time, local club, real rod run feel, plan on attending the 10th Annual Lonestar Round Up next year, April 15-17 in Austin, Texas, and yes it will all begin with a crawl on Friday morning.
Everything is Bigger and Better in Texas
(or so they would have you believe)
Now its ninth year in, the Lonestar Round Up has become a homecoming of sorts, not only for Texans but also traditional hot rod and custom fans nationwide. Cars and spectators who once filled the cozy House Park Stadium, the oldest football stadium in Austin, now pack the giant Travis County Exposition grounds. The show has grown from a meager 85 cars in 2002 to nearly 1,200 in 2010. None of this would have ever happened though without a club, a music club that can trace its roots way back to when what we call "traditional" was vogue.
The Continental Club opened its doors on South Congress Avenue in Austin as a social club in 1957. Over the past 50 years it has hosted a mile-long list of who's who in the music scene; from swing to rock to blues to jazz to country twang, it has seen it all. It wasn't until the late '80s when current owner Steve Wertheimer took over that the music of the Continental Club began to infuse with hot rods and customs in what many would call a natural fit. "Everyone (all of my car buddies) hung around the club all the time and that was sort of the centerpiece, a gathering place," Wertheimer says.
After several road trips to California in their traditional hot rods and customs, namely the Paso Robles Show, the 15 or so car guys decided to make themselves an "official" club in the mid-'90s. "After seeing all the clubs (with their jackets and plaques) out there at shows we decided we wanted to run some plaques in Austin since it was such a rarity here." Paying homage to their favorite hangout, the Continental Club, the guys "played off the name and went with The Kontinentals."
Wertheimer calls The Kontinentals a "super loose" organization who all share similar vision regarding the style of hot rods and customs they like to build and drive. The club of 25 members, mostly Texas based, are a club with "no rules, no meetings, no officers, just a bunch of dudes who are all good friends, hang out, and plan excuses to get their cars out." And that they do. They still continue their annual pilgrimages to California in "traditional stuff and very tasteful customs." He continues, "All the cars (in the club) are built to drive everywhere ... we go on many long-distance excursions and put many miles on all of the cars."
It was also the trips to Paso Robles that inspired the Kontinentals to hold the Lonestar Round Up. After one of their annual trips to Paso they decided to test the waters of holding their own traditional hot rod and custom show. "We came back one year (about 10 years ago) when the HAMB was in its infantile stages and made a post asking 'If we threw a car show in Austin, would anyone come?'" Wertheimer says. "The response was very positive from the few folks who were on HAMB way back when so we decided to give it a shot."
After viewing old footage from early car shows in California, the Kontinentals "miraculously procured" House Park Stadium where "the turf for Friday night football is sacred" and held the first Lonestar Rod & Kustom Round Up. It was a one-day, informal show without even a stage-the bands played on a flatbed trailer. Due to the steady increase in attendance over the past nine years they have moved the show three times to what they believe to be their final location. "We are now at a facility that can handle our size with plenty of room to move around with the added attraction of the swap meet," Wertheimer says.
One thing that hasn't changed though has been the quality of the cars. At the first show back in 2002 they hosted a killer line up of cars, even with less than a hundred present. "Cars at the show that first year included Lee Pratt's gold '40 Ford, Billy Gibbon's 'Eliminator', Von Franco's '32 coupe, and the Kennedy coupe owned by Jim Jard," Wertheimer says. He believes that trend has continued, especially in 2010. "Something happened this year. There was a big change, not so much the number of cars that came in for the show, it was the quality of what showed up that was really elevated this year." He continues, "There were some super-fine, quality hot rods and customs here in town, not a lot of cobbled-together stuff that you scratch your head and say 'why?' Just some super-fine stuff that I would love to have in my garage."
What will the 10th anniversary of the Round Up hold? According to Wertheimer, "We are just starting to talk about it at the secret headquarters ... be assured there will be something pretty special about next year both artwork- and artist-wise, music-wise, as well as some special events to commemorate the 10th anniversary, so stay tuned!"

David Bowie was so impressed with a song by rockers Arcade Fore he threatened to "steal" it from them unless they finished recording it immediately.
The Canadian band was working on tracks in a New York studio earlier this year when the "Ashes to Ashes" singer stopped by to check out their progress.
When he heard their experimental track "Reflektor" he was adamant he would put it out himself if they didn't finish recording it – and the crafty musicians used
Bowie's enthusiasm to convince him to sing backing vocals on the song instead.
Arcade Fire star Richard Reed Parry tells NME magazine, "He basically just came by the studio in New York while we were mixing, just to have a listen to the stuff we were doing. He offered to lend us his services because he really liked the song. In fact, he basically threatened us – he was like, 'If you don't hurry up and mix this song, I might just steal it from you!'.
"So we thought, well why don't we go one better, why don't you sing on our version? Thankfully he obliged, and we were really, really happy about that."
Reflektor is the eight-minute long title track from the band's upcoming fourth album, which is due for release next month.

Android MEGA Pack By bobiras2009 | 219 MB
The Apps is in one rar package. An example is if is unpacked one person will download one app, second will download other app and so on...the person who will download only the application that he like after that he will not seed the other parts and the torrent very soon will die eventualy. So excuse me for that but is logic for me to be in one rar package so everybody can access and download faster.

Goodguys' 17th Lone Star NationalsWritten by Eric Geisert on April 1, 2010 Racin' And Roddin' At The Texas Motor Speedway
As most folks have known for the past couple of decades, when the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association comes to town, it's party time. And no one gets it done bigger or better than the folks in and around the Dallas/Ft. Worth region of Texas.
For the past 17 years rodders were given a place (the event was originally at the Southfork Ranch location, but moved to the spacious Texas Motor Speedway after its completion in 1996) to display their hot rod, thanks to the Goodguys, who really do know how to treat their customers.
Far from being just a big parking lot show, the Goodguys events always have a lot more to do and see than your average hot rod get-together. Plus, the added advantage of seeing cars and trucks from nearly every era allows folks to experience rodding on a much wider scale.
The swap meet was full of deals (if you knew where to look) and, if rusty old parts wasn't your thing, then a trip through the rows of new vendor displays was probably what you needed. Plus, with the event being located on the infield of a 1.5-mile quad-oval speedway, you had the chance to either drive in a real NASCAR training car (at racing speeds) around the track or in your own car (at much slower speeds).
You could also drive your own car around a different kind of track-one marked with cones-in the Street Challenge Autocross. Having a cool-looking car is one thing, but getting it to go around a corner without carving up the road or your tires is something else. The rodders who rolled through the timed course laid out at one end of the speedway's asphalt parking lot looked like they were doing a little of both, but had a great time doing so. We also wonder why we don't see more area car clubs challenge other car clubs to see who has the better handling rods (or at least who has the better drivers) at the Autocross.
The weather is always a factor at outdoor car shows in the South, and a rainstorm did come by for a visit Saturday afternoon and into the evening, but the thousands of attendees who go to the Goodguys shows are mostly locals (or they at least live somewhere in the Okla-Tex area) and they're used to seeing a cow or a house fly by in a serious Texas-style rainstorm. Fortunately the storm wasn't that bad, and folks returned to cruising their rides as soon as the rain had stopped and they had a chance to wipe down their cars.
But the best thing about the Lone Star Nationals has always been the cars-they're some of the best in the country and, more often than not, something you just won't see if you're sequestered in the East or West. And, with any luck, the Goodguys will continue to bring its brand of hot rodding to the South for many years to come.
Jeff Rowray
Norman, OK
'51 Studebaker convertible
When Rowray pulled into the event with his black Stude convertible towing his custom Stude trailer (hauling a '49 Harley-Davidson), people were dumbstruck. Besides the LT1 install and the custom leather interior (with Dakota Digital gauges and LCD DVDs mounted behind the bucket seats), Rowray's trailer was also made of '51 Stude parts.
Jim Landsparger
Broomfield, CO
'30 Ford highboy coupe
Model A coupes sure are popular nowadays and, when they look this good, who can you blame? A '53 Merc Flathead powers the Ford, and it's topped with an Edmunds manifold and twin Strombergs. The body is chopped 2 1/2 inches-the same amount for the channel. A quick-change out back and a rolled 'n' pleated interior rounds things out.
Dusty Cox Jr.
Fort Smith, AR
'60 Chevy Impala
Cox found this low-mileage car and cleaned it up before adding the 13-inch disc brakes and Budnik wheels. The 348 engine looks like it rolled off the assembly line yesterday.
Ed Bice
Magnolia, TX
'57 Buick Special
That's a lot of bumper on Ed's hardtop! They made 'em big and heavy back in 1957, but Bice updated his Special with a 6.0L Cadillac Escalade engine backed to a 4L60E trans. An IFS from Fatman Fabrications, 'bags from RideTech, and 17- and 18-inch billet wheels help the Buick roll down the road in style.
Mickey Smith
Roland, AR
'40 Ford convertible
Driveshaft specialist Mickey Smith tells us his convertible uses '40 Ford standard front sheetmetal-something the factory didn't do on the convertibles for that year. Under the hood is a 383 V-8, and the ride rolls on Wheel Smith wires. Krist Kustoms did the leather interior.
Meg Cameron
Magnolia, TX
'61 Chevy Bel Air
Dooley & Sons Rods and Customs in Magnolia, TX, a full-service, whatever-you-want kind of shop built this '61 Chevy Bel Air for Meg Cameron. The black beauty features a 409 engine, RideTech airbags, and 20- and 22-inch Intro wheels.
Larry Buel
Euless, TX
'39 Ford Tudor
Larry's '39 got a complete body-off restoration before being outfitted with a 350/350 engine and trans combination and a Mustang II IFS. The stance and the Halibrand wheels lets you know it's a hot rod from the outside while the interior is subtly done in a cream pleat
Duke Hogan
Richardson, TX
'39 Buick coupe
Duke and Mary Hogan love their Buick, which is powered by an LS1 and features a Corvette C4 suspension. The unique Jarama beige color (from the Porsche line of colors) just glows in the sun, and it gives the coupe an elegant look.
Jason Smith
China Spring, TX
'32 Ford channeled coupe
If you pulled everything from a list that you would ever want on a '32 three-window, you'd probably come up with Jason Smith's incredible coupe. Equipped with a fuel-injected, Ardun-topped Flathead backed to a five-speed trans, the copper coupe also boasts a Winters quick-change, a '34 Ford cowl top section, and a 3-to-2-inch slant chop.
Sheri Murray
Venus, TX
'37 Ford coupe
The award-winning Roger Burman, from Lakeside Rods and Customs, built this super-slick '37 coupe for Sheri Murray. Lots of body massaging (typical on cars from Lakeside) went into this low-slung ride (check out the Mini Cooper headlights) that also features an LS1 engine, 18- and 20-inch Budnik wheels, and subtle two-tone paintjob.

In from Carrollton, TX, Richard Gary and his '62 'Bird took in the show. The Ice Blue paint and white roof and interior was nice, but the Norm Grabowski skull shifter really set the tone for this one.This Model T roadster pickup looked pretty vintage, but the polished shark (made from F-86 Sabre Jet parts) that was for sale ($3,500), which is bolted to the roof rack, stopped a lot of folks in their tracks.A blown 383 stroker was stuffed into the front of Mark Britt's '38 Chevy truck. With there being so many stock pickups located in the south we're sure we'll be seeing them converted to hot rods for some time to come.Looking for some kind of cruiser to build? Gary Locklin had a '51 Chrysler for sale for only $3,500. Black paint, a Hemi, and the right set of wheels would make this one sharp hot rod.In from Little Elm, TX, Bob and Susan Busby's '61 bubbletop Chevy has the right low-and-lean attitude.There's something about '54 Chevy wagons that are cool, even in their stock state. Kevin St. John, from Sachse, TX, rolled into the Ft. Worth event in his two-tone 210, which is powered by a 235 straight-six backed to a Powerglide.Otis Schmidt has had his '29 Ford Tudor at Goodguys shows before, but without an interior. He's finally addressed that, and the chopped sedan now features a great-looking aircraft-style aluminum bucket seat setup.Anyone else out there love the little Rambler Americans? Keith Stephens' '64 still had its stock 196-inch flathead straight-six in it (and it was nicely detailed), but it would be hard to resist dropping in a small-block of some sort.
We saw Dave Pearce's '60 Impala convertible with the top both up and down, and it looks great either way. The green-on-green-on-green 'vert is powered by a 372 Chevy backed to a Powerglide.There were several ol' rusty early Ford pickups in attendance, including Bruce Capen's '32 Ford, which was equipped with a 383 stroker and a four-speed. Some fun!T.J. Akins' '36 Ford has a definite old-school look from the outside, but an LS1/4L60 engine and trans combo powers the slammed coupe.You can still find some great buys in the swap meet sections of the Goodguys Southern-based events, as this all-steel '26 Ford T roadster pickup-running and driving with a small-block Chevy-was only $7,900.John Ligon's '39 Chevy was one of the nicest cars at the show. Perfect stance, contemporary tan leather interior, subtle body mods-he's got the right idea.Wonder what to do with that military Jeep laying around in your backyard? Dallas' Clifton Greenwood made a hot rod out of his '46 Jeep CJ-2A.
Though you can usually find a good number of Camaros and Mustangs running in both classes, you can also find a few hearty types running their street rods through the timed course as well.They didn't make too many '62 Olds F85 Club Coupes (less than 8,000 by one count), but Cliff Angelle knows how to set one up. His still sports its aluminum 215 engine, but it's backed to a 700-R4 transmission.So you bought a Roadster Shop chassis and now you've got to get it home-now what? Just push it down the road to the truck! You don't need those old Centerlines anyway, do you?Looking like a carved bar of gold, Larry Ornduff's '47 Chevy had a good amount of custom touches, from the rear shirts and shaved handles to the frenched headlights and the shaved drip rails.Not all of those '60s-era show cars are in museums. Ed Newton designed the Wine Keg in 1968. It was built by Dick Dean years later, and it is currently owned by Jack Orwell of Iowa Park, TX.

|Arts support urged by PCAC
|Written by Penny Dockins
"What does not exist in the environment cannot be developed."
—Schinichi Suzuki
In these financially difficult times, budgets—including that of Holyoke's school district—are being cut or reordered. It is easy to sort the basic from that which seems attractive but not essential.
However, there are many studies in which results show the positive and strong impact that education and participation in the arts have on the study and achievement in other subjects. Phillips County Arts Council (PCAC) Board counts study and participation in the arts as basic.
As advocates for the arts, members of Phillips County Arts Council seriously advise against decreasing specialized arts education in time or quality, especially for elementary age students. This decrease could be seen either in limiting class time with the specialized arts teacher or adding on more subject matter for the already fully occupied classroom teacher.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who bases map outlines on everyday stuff! That's a trippy base map - kind of looks like a mutated horse galloping along...
Ok, so I thought I'd start with the ever popular Regional Tutorial from RobA. I found some interesting shapes chipped out of the garage floor sealant at work so I took pictures with my cell phone. You can see the original in the attachment below. I then popped it open in Paint Shop Pro 7, rotated it, and dropped the color down to two colors. You can see the result below as well. I rather like the result, especially in the south, but I'm wondering if the north edge is a little too straight. Then again, we do have the Arabian peninsula...
Incidentally, I have more examples from the garage floor at work. I've both taken pictures and made rubbings of them using 11x17 paper and a #2 pencil. Both techniques have their strengths. Making rubbings seems to be a bit more faithful to the original while photos provide unexpected results once they've been manipulated in a graphics program with the fuzzy select tool.
I'll post updates and progress here as I go along...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who bases map outlines on everyday stuff! That's a trippy base map - kind of looks like a mutated horse galloping along...
I like the shape, although I'd like it better if that Cornwall-esque finger visible in the original photo hadn't broken up in the computer version. Looking at a lot of squiggly, wiggly, random-noise-based maps can make you forget that our real-life landmasses often have relatively long straight lines on the macro level.
The original shape and position looked better to me. The added islands (as if the island is shredded on both sides) look unnatural to me. It's just an opinion. I like the idea of using an everyday life object as a source.
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
The original conversion of picture to land mass shape was conducted in Paint Shop Pro 7 by the process of simply dropping the image to two bit color. Because of the relative color values in the original image the process resulted in the shredding of the southern end and the addition of the islands on the northern border. I was a little surprised at the result and didn't care for it to much, though it did grow on me some over time. I tried using the fuzzy select tool in PSP7 but found it didn't work to well, even with the shift key held down and the image converted to grey scale. Later, I opened the original image in Gimp and used the fuzzy select there with the setting of Add to Selection. The results were much more positive. I've posted that image below for your perusal.
So, should I change the title of the thread to (Un)Broken Isle?
Ok, folks, I've been puttering along through RobA's tutorial. I've managed to get to the point where mountains are the next step. So far the process is a bit of a blur but I'm definitely learning through it. I've had to puzzle my way through a couple of points (the grass layer bump map really had me stumped) but I'm enjoying the experience. I'm thinking of perhaps detouring to RobA's alternate means of generating mountains that he links to in post 11. The current stage of the map is visible below. Any C+C is welcome.
If I hadn't had seen the source for the map I would have thought that the right hand landmass is a sort of Britain flipped horizontally and a very small Ireland next to it. It's cool how random shapes can suggest these things.
Looks good so far.
Thanks, Ravells, Hohum. I lucked out with these shapes. Who knew that a chipped garage floor could provide so many hours of fun? I'm enjoying the process and it's a testament to RobA's capability that a novice such as myself can generate a map that looks pretty decent the first time out. One issue that's bugging me some is the dirt layer. I'd prefer to see a more even distribution with more mottled color akin to the manner of the grass layer. I may go back and try repeating the grass layer steps only with colors for dirt. From there I could apply a gentle blur and/or drop opacity to blend the two layers together for something I'm more comfortable with.
Don't forget that the tutorials are not cast in stone and the best way to get to your own style and to learn the software is to just experiment and play with it a lot. That's how most of us learned this game. It's not like experimenting is going to cost us money in materials!

|FCA Husker Tour making stop in Imperial Saturday
By Jan Schultz
The Imperial Republican
Fresh off their Holiday Bowl victory in San Diego, several Husker players will be in Imperial Saturday morning as part of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Husker Tour 2010.
The Huskers who have been announced to be here for the 10:30 a.m. program in the Longhorn gym are Rex Burkhead, Eric Hagg, Marcel Jones and Imperial native Mathew May.
While May was announced as being part of the Husker appearance here, FCA officials indicated Tuesday that nothing has been confirmed that the 2007 Chase County graduate will attend for sure.
May had planned to be at his brother, Taylor's, final home appearance as a University of Nebraska-Kearney wrestler, also this Saturday in Kearney.
According to Nate Lewis, FCA western area director, there will be some activities with the kids at the start of the program, then each of the players will talk about their relationship with Jesus Christ and how their faith is lived out on the field.
Matt Penland, the Nebraska FCA chaplain, will also speak. And, after the program, the players will continue to interact with the kids and also sign autographs, Lewis said.
This year, May completed his redshirt sophomore season with the Huskers as a linebacker, and saw a lot of action the past season. He is the son of Tim and Tammy May of Imperial.
Burkhead is a sophomore running back from Plano, Texas.
Hagg of Peoria, Ariz., played the safety position this season. He's a senior.
Jones of Phoenix is a junior offensive lineman.
As part of their southwest Nebraska tour, the Huskers are also scheduled to be in McCook Friday night following the McCook/Ogallala boys' basketball game.
Following their time in Imperial, they will travel on to Ogallala where they'll meet with the public after the Ogallala/Broken Bow boys' basketball game Saturday night.
Local FCA sponsors Pat and Linda McNair of Imperial are working the state FCA officials in bringing the FCA Husker Tour to the community Saturday.

With the 108th Map of the Week we take our first look at the Slovanian River County.
Arnot, count of the River County, is the most corrupt of the Slovanian nobles. His county, in the southwest corner of Slovania, is more or less a medieval Mafia domain. His subjects don't mind much. Most of them live in the great central valley of the county, which is one of the main Slovanian breadbaskets and, therfore, prosperous.
The count did not gain his wealth by bleeding those he rules. On the contrary, other than for the collection of normal Slovanian taxes and tithes, which are anything but oppressive, he lets the folk alone, as long as they do the same with respect to his operations.
Pure luck made Arnot prosperous. Clever conniving made him rich. He first was raised to nobilty as the baron of North Junction, which allowed him to occupy the baronial castle there. Almost by accident, Arnot found a secret passage in the castle that led to the ancient but well-endowed treasury of a fallen and corrupt Æsir baron who had gone over to the Darkness. In that treasury, Arnot found some 2,000,000 GP worth of Æsir coins.
The count is the mastermind of the illegal smuggling operations into the North Kingdom. With the profits from his equally illegal mines in the lower Midworld Mountains of Auðarhome, Arnot continues to keep his Æsir treasure secret and hidden. Old Æsir coins are common in Slovania, but they are nowhere as frequent as in North Junction and Mine Docks. The reason, of course, is the expenditure of Æsir coin by the count. North Junction is Arnot's seat of government, but Mine Docks is the center of his illicit business operations, followed by South Docks based upon the old Æsir Empire name - in the north. In both river settlements, Arnot hires corrupt warriors to serve as his border watch.
With the cover of night, the illegal caravans cross the Fjörm River Bridge at Mine Docks with the aid of the corrupt border patrol. The caravans travel along secret trails in the foothills of the Midworld Mountains just we or the outer settlements of Windland in the south. From the Greenhouse ruins, they travel northward, bringing contraband to and from the vampire-ruled North Kingdom and the Dreadlands of the dark draug Duke þráinn. From Mine Docks, caravans from Windland bring goods and contraband into Windland and transport merchandise northward from that kingdom. The business has proven lucrative for Count Arnot.
Despite all of this corruption, life in the River County is relatively safe and unthreatening. One could argue that only Grainland County is more secure. Both counties can be considered to be "monster free." The orcs, ogres and draugs that sometimes cross into the Border March and Royal County are unknown in the River or Grainland counties. The only people who are likely to get in trouble in the Fjörm Valley are those who are too curious or who talk too much. The valley is the heartland of Count Arnot's illegal operations. His so-called palace guard does an efficient job of arranging the fatal disappearance of those who are too nosy or who have big mouths.
Both the revised Royal Charter and the Royal Book of Laws forbid the Slovanians from taking any lands that are outside of the kingdom's borders. Despite that, Arnot built a bridge across the Fjörm several years ago and then marched into the stone giant nation of Auðarhome, where he claimed several still workable copper, tin and lignite mines that had been abandoned by the giants. The Slovanians are uncertain why the Auðar have not reacted to this illegal annexation of their land. It is known that the stone giants have withdrawn deeper into the Midworld Mountains. It may be that the giants have not noticed yet. Ordinarily, Arnot's incursion into Auðarhome would have drawn the king, the margrave and the other counts into taking joint action against him. However, illegal as this annexation might be, they all suport it, at least quietly.
That support is a matter of needed resources. There are no valuable deposits of copper, tin or lignite in Slovania. Until Arnot's incursion into the giants' mountains, the Slovanians had to pay high prices to import these commodities into the kingdom from Windland. As mentioned, Arnot is no fool. He makes no power plays elsewhere in the kingdom with his gains from the giants' lands. The count sells copper, tin and lignite at reasonable prices to all parts of the kingdom, and the bronze produced by the foundry in Mine Docks is sold throughout his own county and the southern part of Grainland County. The rest of the kingdom buys bronze from the foundry in Newhouse, which also smelts the copper and tin from Arnot's Auðarhome mines.
East of the Fjörm Valley, River County is a different land. Between the Fjörm and Storming Rivers one finds Slovania's richest farm lands and densest rural population. In this broad agricultural belt, Arnot and his barons earn a substantial income from tithing and taxes. However, the count has no interest in facing the discontent of a dissatisfied folk. His taxes and tithes are fair and at the Slovanian standard. He also has made clear that his barons are to tax fairly and see to it that the people of the breadbasket region remain content, productive and supportive of their nobility.
There are no big cities in the county. Industrial Mine Docks is the largest municipality, with a population of about 2,000, making it at best a large town. South Docks, North Junction and South Junction all have populations of less than 1,000, putting them in the league of villages or small towns. All of the numerous other farming and Fjörm River settlements have populations of less than 200, ranking as hamlets or encampments. The people of the river settlements earn their living fishing, growing grain and raising milk cows and slaughter cattle.

Hi! I'm a long-time lurker and first-time poster and I guess it's time to step out of the shadows. I've been blown away by the creativity and skill of this community ever since I discovered it a few years ago.
I don't have a lot of artistic ability, but, inspired by what I've seen here, I've taught myself a few things in GIMP and Campaign Cartographer to create maps for my gaming group and it's added a wonderful dimension to that experience. I'm now using MapTool, and continue to find inspiration from this community for creating adventures and fun encounter maps for my group.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by Tazz Denim Disappointment I thought I was ordering a skirt made from the same weight denim found in jeans. What I received was a lightweight denim about the same weight or heft of cotton or chambray. Very disappointed because the catalog made no mention of this. Who knew that denim could be so light and still be called denim? June 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Long timer Great skirt The fabric of this skirt is perfect for spring and summer. The 6-gores make the fit great and the length is just right. If there were additional colors offered, I would purchase one of each. April 5, 2015

Working Moms in the Fall TV Lineup.
Though the calendar says it's not quite autumn yet, TV execs are busy promoting their new fall slate of programs which they hope will make your DVR must-see list. And while some programs -- such as "Lost," "Medium" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine" – will not premiere new episodes until 2008, many others are following the more traditional fall premiere schedule.
Here at Mommy Track'd, we're highlighting new and returning shows that feature working moms. Some are brand spankin' new programs we haven't yet seen, while others are returning programs for whom we hold high hopes for strong storylines (*ahem* "Grey's Anatomy" *cough* more Miranda Bailey):
Tell Me You Love Me -- Currently airing its freshman season, 9-10 p.m., Sundays on HBO.
Surely you've heard about the new HBO drama, "Tell Me You Love Me" which is generating headlines for its graphic sex scenes. It focuses on four couples at various stages of their lives and what their sexual relationships have to say about the emotional health of each pair. Included among the quartet is a career-oriented couple in their 30s struggling with infertility and a couple in their 40s who cannot seem to get beyond their work and family obligations with their two children in order to make room for a sex life. The sole mother on the show is Katie (Ally Walker) who works part-time from home as a graphic designer and whose husband, a loving and involved dad, is disinterested in sex. HBO's web site says of Katie, "She's put her children and her marriage before her own needs." The pilot episode was uncomfortable, illuminating and addicting.
Desperate Housewives – Season four premieres on Sept. 30, 9-10 p.m., Sundays on ABC.
During the three seasons we've been watching the ladies of
To catch up on last season's episodes, visit the ABC web site.
I guess it's not new this fall, but I just discovered it - Damages on FX. Glen Close's character, Patty Hewes, makes a pretty interesting working-mom character. I love when she compares kids to clients - that they want everything from you all the time (or something like that).
YES -more Chandra Wilson on Grey's. I may quit watching that show, but I'll give it a few tries to see if they give Bailey more air time. AND WATCH FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS -it's wonderful -very realistic!
Amen! Chandra Wilson is the best thing on television. She is the most accurate representation of African American women since Phylicia Rashad on the Cosby Show. Give us more Bailey!

Kevin, you sound like you are still young. I'll check back with you in about 10 years!
Like most... my closest huntin buddys were lucky enough to move out of state. I still have a few here but they don't have the bug like I do, so I started going by myself and really started liking it. I perfer going solo and even if the other guys go we all split up and regroup at night, at the base camp. After getting use to going solo it's not bad at all IMO. I actually think I hunt harder alone.
-NRA Life Member
I'm not looking forward to the day when my health will run out. I'm 51, average build but still enjoyed my Mule deer buck pack out last year solo up and down the mountains. It's very hard work and I know it sounds crazy but I still find it very, very rewarding. It is one of the highlights in the adventure that I look forward to.
I started archery hunting for a bit more of a challenge I thought the craze would catch on with my buddies but to no avail. Therefore I went alone and have done so for a couple years I feel as much as physical training is a must so is mental training if your like me a week off of work is quite hard to come by so when I get the chance to go out I like to make the best of it. But the days become really really long when your solo. Which makes convincing yourself to turn back that much easier. One thing I might add which makes the evenings a bit easier is a nice night cap I prefer a shot or two of jack and it seems to wash awaY the what ifs and whatever noises the mountains make that you may not be used too in your own bed. Haven't packed out an animal yet but I'm over the hardest part... Staying out there and hunting hard.

I have encountered a nasty problem which still keeps out my Zimbra installation out of net stream. Zimbra launches its own copy of Apache which takes ports 80 (http) and 443 (http SSL). However, I cannot move our company web scripts into Zimbra's Apache because we have our own custom installation on the same SuSE 10 box.
So, I took the shortest route and tried to change Zimbra's Apache ports 80 to 81 and 443 to 444 respectively using this script:
After applying configuration and starting services again Zimbra's Apache still listening port 80. I have manually edited httpd.cong, no effect anyway.
So I digged forums and found this:
For anyone else who runs into this, what I did was edit:
<param-value>80, 443, 7070, 7443</param-value>
To read:
HTML Code:
<param-value>80, 443, 7070, 7443, 8888</param-value>
As a followup, it seems this is no longer true.
Well, it is, but it no longer works this way :-)
Any changes you make to web.xml are now overwritten when Zimbra starts up. You can make those same changes in this file:
And that will solve this problem.
So, what is the proper way to instruct Zimbra's Apache to run for example on port 8080 for http and port 8081 for http SSL?
Of course, I can edit my firewall rules to swap ports, but this is rather awkward solution. I think, it would be better to change Zimbra's Apache behaviour.
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS. Please add this topic to the admin manual, or at least, wiki/faq site.

I'd like to be able to share mailboxes between users. I fully understand that the web client doesn't do this yet, but as we're using Thunderbird at present, that's not an issue. There is some pretty good sharing info at Zmmailbox - ZimbraWiki and while it doesn't list mailboxes as something that can be shared, the folder methodology would seem to support it.
I followed the sequence that was presented for sharing a calendar and it seemed to work--i.e. the folder is available in the second account)--but nothing is ever visible in the folder. Is this just not possible period? Or is there some way of doing this that I am not grasping?
I have searched high and low with the various tools and can't find anything that doesn't specifically apply to the web client. Given the fabulous REST interfaces and whatnot, it seems that more advanced functionality is available outside the web client. I'm hoping that's the case here.
Apologies for probably covering old ground here.

I did an upgrade of Zimbra 7.2.2 to Zimbra 8.0.2 on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS using the package zcs-8.0.2_GA_5569.UBUNTU10_64.20121210115101.
There are several email accounts in the existing 7.2.2 version and they are fully functional. The upgrade run with no errors (with the exception that the script reported that the spam/ham accounts already exist, which is not really an error).
But after the upgrade even the admin for the domain can not log in, the same applies to all other users, and the system reports that the account does not exist. Using "zmprov gaaa" does not display any admins after the upgrade (but did before). The same applies to "zmprov -l gaa", no user entries are returned.
But using "ldapsearch -x -H $ldap_master_url -D $zimbra_ldap_userdn -w $zimbra_ldap_password" (following the description on Ajcody-LDAP-Topics - Zimbra :: Wiki) shows all user accounts.
While experimenting in a test environment I created a new admin user on the console, which made things completely weird. Suddenly all users could log on again, but "zmprov -l gaa" still showed nothing. That is I ended up with a corrupted system, where users could log on, but the admin had no control over the accounts.
I am clueless now where I should begin to search for the problem, why the upgrade obviously failed, but no errors were reported, and every service started successfully. And I have been able to reproduce the problem with our LDAP and mailbox data several times on freshly installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS systems.
Can anyone help and give advice what to do or where to look for additional information or error logs?

ORIENTAL � Ruthie Foster�s latest album, �Let It Burn,�earned a Grammy nomination for Best Blues Album in 2012, so a night of hot entertainment is expected when the Pamlico Musical Society presents Foster at Oriental�s Old Theater on Oct. 26.
Tickets are $20 and available by calling 252-249-3670, or on the web: pamlicomusic.org. Advance tickets are also available at Nautical Wheelers, 411 Broad St. in Oriental.
After bringing audiences to their feet at jazz and blues festivals across the country, Foster comes to coastal North Carolina to rock the house with her powerful voice and blazing talent.
From humble beginnings singing in her church choir in rural Texas, she fulfilled a tour of duty with the U.S. Navy Band before resuming her professional career in Austin, Texas.
In Austin, she started collecting a string of awards, including two Grammy nominations and Blues Music Association awards for Best Traditional and Best Contemporary Female Blues Artist in two consecutive years.
Critics have described Ruthie�s voice as �drop dead gorgeous� and compared her to legendary singers like Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald. From her haunting cover of Adele�s �Set Fire to the Rain,� to her totally original take on Johnny Cash�s �Ring of Fire,� she puts her own stamp on any song she performs. Full of soul and fueled by gospel, she charms listeners with dynamic energy and down home charisma.
The concert sponsors include Village Food Emporium of Oriental and Charles Meekins of Wells Fargo.
Also, grants came from the North Carolina Arts Council.
Pamlico Musical Society is a non-profit organization bringing quality musical entertainment, enrichment, and education to Pamlico County.
The Old Theater is located at 609 Broad St. and is handicapped accessible.

NIce job, the overall color scheme is very pleasasnt.
Thank you, Max. As many of my maps are very colourful, I wanted to do a more subtle colouring. I'm happy it came out this way.
That's works very well. Funny, since I'm doing the opposite on the second map of the monthly challenge : more colourful
Very nice map
It was a little hard to distinguish which location corresponds to which race. For example, I can't tell if "Bale" belongs to Dark Elves or Humans.
However, I'm sure it can be hard to depict different types of architecture with just symbols like that, and most of the other races are very distinguished.
I like how you did the mountains, gave the middle of the map a very cozy feel.
According to the key, Bale should be human?
Outstanding work, as expected from you, Sap. I really like this one; it has a Red Epic feel to it, but not as busy (which I think is the main downfall of some of his maps), better color, great icons and layout.
Very fine job!
Your sea is really pleasant. The global shapes gives me feeling of a very good board game map.

An Interview with SMCL's Annie Peña
Today we shine the spotlight on our very own Annie Peña, who began working in public libraries in 2006 and returned to the Bay Area in 2009. She plans to complete her Master's degree in Library Science next June.
What Inspired You to Work in Libraries?
"The enjoyment of helping people, my love for books, and my love for learning. The library is a stimulating, resourceful and informative environment, and I want to constantly be a part of [it]."
What Do You Do at SMCL and Where Can We Find You?
"I am a library aide who does a little bit of everything [at Atherton Library]. I make sure all the library materials are returned back to their locations and are readily available for the next person. I am also part of a musical storytime twice a month; and last but not least, I host a monthly book club the second Tuesday of each month. I am always available by email (email@example.com) and usually one of the last people to leave the library a few days a week. Bottom line--I am ready to find out how I can be of assistance to you."
(Note: Click here to see more Atherton Library events.)
What Do You Like Most About Your Job?
"What I like most about my job is helping and working with the public, the people of the community. I have always enjoyed helping people. I think it stems from my background, working in the parks and recreation department (for the City of Modesto), in convalescent and behavioral hospitals, and in real estate. My job [also] consists of two of my favorite things: libraries and books. I have always (and always will have) a lot of love for books and libraries."
What Would You Tell People About Libraries That They Might Not Know?
"The library listens. People may not think that the library takes their suggestions, concerns, or feedback into consideration, when in fact, the library thrives off community input."
What Are You an (Un)Official Expert On?
"The non-fiction genre. As a book club moderator, I usually choose non-fiction books because I enjoy learning, [which] provides stimulation for my think tank. A few of my favorite books from our 2011 Reader's List: Packing for Mars by Mary Roach; The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester, The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner, and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot."
What Are Your Hobbies?
"Reading and collecting books (especially art books); being outdoors (particularly Lake Tahoe or Isla Mujeres); hiking, dancing, photography--and I love spending time with my family and friends."
What Book, Movie, and Album Would You Take With You to a Deserted Island?
"Here goes: Even Cowgirls get the Blues by Tom Robbins; WALL-E; [and] The Very Best of Prince."
Who Is Your Favorite Fictional Character of All Time?
"I would have to say Kermit and Miss Piggy. I remember watching Jim Henson movies over and over again and still watch them to this day, and my love has not vanished for these two. I can never get enough of them."
If You Could Have One Superpower, What Would It Be?
"I would like to remember EVERYTHING! [An] expansive and endless memory bank, a memory bank that I would feed in abundance every day with beneficial and resourceful information that can ultimately be shared with everyone."
What is Your Go-To Dessert?
"Either rhubarb and strawberry streusel with vanilla ice cream or a That Takes The Cake in their cherry blossom flavor (green tea cupcake--super yummy!)."
In One Word, What Do Libraries Mean to You?

Intern Anthony Andora believes those who love helping others should be rewarded with cupcakes--and he wants one now!

Press Releases
Cardio, Traditional, and Functional - All FreeMotion
(October, 2006 - COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.) - Known throughout the industry for setting a new standard in fitness equipment, FreeMotion Fitness unites under the FreeMotion brand with FreeMotion functional equipment, FreeMotion Cardio and FreeMotion EPIC strength.
"The FreeMotion brand has become synonymous with revolutionary fitness products that shape the fitness industry today," said Patrick Hald, FreeMotion Fitness President and COO. "By integrating FreeMotion Cardio and FreeMotion EPIC with the original FreeMotion circuit of functional equipment, the philosophy of training the way you move branches out to all categories of our fitness equipment."
FreeMotion stands as the first, and only, full circuit of integrated functional training equipment in the industry. In a study conducted by Keith Spennewyn, president of NIHS, it was determined that training on a full line of integrated functional strength equipment may be the only type of training that can provide maximum transfer of strength into real life. In a more recent study Spennewyn revealed that functional training improved strength over fixed training.
FreeMotion Cardio continues to produce robust, durable machines and integrates innovative technologies and intuitive functions. Each piece is designed to enhance the user's workout and offer worry-free operation and maintenance. FreeMotion Fitness adds to the FreeMotion Cardio line with the Incline Trainer, and Recumbent Bike. Like the FreeMotion Treadmill, the FreeMotion Incline Trainer is powered by the innovative DRVS™, Direct Rear Velocity System; a rear-drive motor system that combined with urethane deck isolators, provides additional cushioning that creates a more comfortable running surface reducing impact on joints.
To further enhance the club member's cardio workout, these additions to the FreeMotion Cardio line also offer the optional Workout TV console. The 12.1" flat panel LCD screen gives users their own entertainment options - all the facility needs is coaxial cable. Integrated directly into the console, FreeMotion Fitness took great care in positioning the screen to offer a crisp, bright picture and comfortable viewing.
FreeMotion EPIC brings fixed-isolated and free weight equipment to another level with FreeMotion's reputation for ingenuity and reliability. Known for its heavy-duty capacity and ease of use, the EPIC line of traditional strength equipment completes FreeMotion's offering of wall-to-wall solutions. The FreeMotion EPIC line consists of a 16-piece selectorized circuit and 20 free weight pieces with recent additions including the Calf Raise, Prone Leg Curl and Low Back Extension.
About FreeMotion Fitness
FreeMotion Fitness is committed to making products of incomparable quality and performance in the commercial industry today. They offer wall-to-wall solutions with FreeMotion functional equipment, FreeMotion Cardio and FreeMotion EPIC strength.

Is that a riddle?
Is that a riddle?
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
Well I know that the Gallatin Range is not known for monster Rams, and I just want to say that is true. I was there a few years back with my buddy on this goat hunt. We saw two bands of sheep, and two total rams. Both not even half curl, and the one that I got close enough to to count rings was 4.5 years old, and not greater than a half curl. I know this doesn't help, but I was board, and I hope this helps you out from NOT putting in for this unit. And yes we covered some ground. Good goats though.
The Southern end of the Gallatin Range is an unlimited tag. If you put in for it, you are a sheep hunter. The trophy quality is not like the rest of Montana, but the hunter opportunity is exceptional. The rams have to be 3/4 curl to be legal, and the season closes when the low quotas (2 in 2011) are met. If you don't mind putting it all on the line for a short hunt, and aren't looking for a big ram, it is an option. the Northern end of the Gallatin Range is limited with only one tag. Trophy quality is lower here also, but you wouldn't be crowded with other sheep hunters.
Our first spot was the south Easter ish portion of the unit. This is where we saw the sheep. We were focused on goats. Found two billies treat we're right at ten inches. Never got a shot damn snow storm came and blew us off the mountain. Other spot was just north of the park. Saw no sheep, but a few sheep hunters, with lots of nannies, and kids. My buddy arrowed the only good billy we were able to find. He did it on the last weekend of the season too.
I didn't think you sounded like one, haha. Do I have to draw a tag first to learn the hidden secret or is there an easier way?
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
Jon Boy, for that unit everyone that does apply gets a tag. The quota usually closes the first day of the season.
It's not rocket science but for some reason very few people hunt it properly... And oh yeah, you have to hope that 1 of the 1,000 people who arrive the day before to "scout" don't bump your ram
Dam that sounds like my kind of hunt! haha Ill have to look into it. Is there much wilderness to it and are there weapon restrictions?

Western Digital Caviar GP WD10EACS 1000GB / 1TB IntelliPower 16MB SATA Hard Drive - Brand New
Capacity: 1TB
Spindle Speed: 5,400RPM
Interface Type: SATA
Disk Size: 3.5inx1.0in LFF Hard Drive
Sustained Throughput (MBps):
Average Seek Time (read/write ms):
Electrical Interface Speed: SATA 300 - 3.0Gbps
On-Board Cache: 16MB
As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives increases as well. WD Caviar GP makes it possible for energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation.
The performance of this 5,400 rpm disk drive is very close to that of the current 7,200 rpm disks. The main reason for this is the increased areal density that the drive uses. This allows more data to pass under the heads and thus increases throughput. So you get the reduced power requirements of a slower spindle speed coupled with high performance.Key Features
Reduced power consumption - WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40 percent compared to competitors' drives with the combination of WD's IntelliSeek™, IntelliPark™, and IntelliPower™ technologies. Helps enable eco-friendly PCs - WD Caviar GP drives yield average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over competitors' drives making it possible for our energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation. This power savings equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 13.8 kilograms per drive per year - the equivalent of taking a car off the road for 3 days each year*. By using environmentally-conscious PCs with our WD Caviar GP drives on board, large organizations with many desktop computers can minimize their carbon footprint and save real money on electricity costs. *Assumes that a car produces 1.60 CO2 pounds per Kwatt/hours/year. Calculation of automobile emissions depends on the car's g/km emission levels and km/year of driving. Cool and Quiet - GreenPower technology yields lower operating temperatures for increased reliability and low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs and external drives. Perfect for external drives - External drive manufacturers can eliminate the need for a fan in a high-capacity product with a WD Caviar GP drive, the coolest and quietest in its class. External drives with WD Caviar GP drives on board can save up to $14.00 per year in electricity costs.IntelliPower - A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. Additionally, GreenPower drives consume less current during startup allowing lower peak loads on systems as they are booted. IntelliSeek - Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration. IntelliPark - Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag. Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) - Employs PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density. StableTrac™ - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations. (750 GB and 1 TB only)
Capacity: 1000GB / 1TB / 1 TB

We have people using Nokia e72 devices with zimbra mobile (Mail for exchange). What happens is that after some time the users are not able to sync anymore (they don't receive e-mails). I checked sync.log and there are messages like this: "sync - SyncState: client stuck on item=0; skip and end itemized mode" and "sync - SyncState: client stuck on version=1; start itemized mode" in the moments they try to sync. The only solution is to delete the account from the phone and create it again/resyncing everything. Also this users are not being able to send e-mails (a lot of people complain on this also as you can check at http://www.zimbra.com/forums/zimbra-...52-zimbra.html),
Please help us,
Our users are very unhappy and asking for an alternative..

No. 8 Iowa State Falls to No. 15 Kansas, 77-70
AMES, Iowa – No. 8 Iowa State was in a tough battle with No. 15 Kansas all night, but the Cyclones were unable to overcome a cold shooting night from deep as the Jayhawks prevailed 77-70 Monday night at Hilton Coliseum. The loss dropped Iowa State to 14-2 on the season and 2-2 in the Big 12. Kansas improved to 12-4 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12.
Playing only two days after suffering an ankle injury at Oklahoma, DeAndre Kane led four Cyclones in double figures with 21 points and eight rebounds.
Keys of the Game
Iowa State played from behind for the entire first half. The Cyclones went into the intermission with some momentum as DeAndre Kane hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game at 36-36.
Kansas blew out of the gates in the second half with a 9-0 run out of the gates to start the second frame. The KU lead was nursed in a range of six to 11 points for the first 10 minutes of the second frame, until Iowa State finally got a breakthrough by taking it down to five points. With KU ahead 56-51, freshman center Joel Embiid took control with two buckets, a block and a rebound to power a 6-0 run in under a minute to put KU back up double-digits.
The Jayhawks lead hovered in double figures for the next five minutes until Iowa State was able to get the breakthrough on a 3-point play by Melvin Ejim. A Matt Thomas 3-pointer to make it 72-67 with 1:43 left looked like it gave the Cyclones a new lease on the game, as did KU missing three free throws down the stretch. However, the Cyclones' ice cold 4-for-25 3-point shooting continued to do them in and did not allow ISU a chance to get closer.
Discuss it now. Visit our Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
Cyclone Game Ball Goes To...
DeAndre Kane. The last image ISU fans saw of Kane prior to Monday's game was him being carried off the Lloyd Noble Center court at Oklahoma by his teammates after suffering an ankle injury. Via his hard work and the treatment of the ISU sports medicine staff, Kane was in the starting lineup.
Kane was a force for the Cyclones, leading the way with 21 points and eight rebounds along with three assists and four steals in 37 minutes.
Cyclone Nation, who was your player of the game? Tweet the player along with the hashtag #CyclONEgameball to @CycloneMBB and we'll announce the fan's pick on Tuesday morning.
Cyclone Quick Hits
*Iowa State matched a season high with 12 steals.
*ISU has had at least four players score in double figures in 15 games.
*The Cyclones forced a season-high 24 turnovers.
*Melvin Ejim moved into 18th on ISU's all-time scoring list, passing Loren Meyer's 1,280 points. He now has 1,287 points.
*DeAndre Kane had his sixth 20-point game as a Cyclone.
*Monte Morris posted a season-high four steals.
Next Up
Iowa State returns to action Saturday at Texas. Tipoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. with the Big 12 Network televising the game.

Jirschele named Mike Coolbaugh Award winner by Minor League Baseball
Congratulations to Omaha manager Mike Jirschele, who was named the 2011 Mike Coolbaugh Award winner today by Minor League Baseball.
The Mike Coolbaugh Award is presented to an individual who has shown an outstanding baseball work ethic, knowledge of the game and skill in mentoring young players on the field. Coolbaugh played in nearly 1,700 games in his Minor League Baseball career from 1990-2006. He also appeared in 44 Major League games. Coolbaugh was only 35 years old when he died after being hit in the neck by a line drive while coaching first base for Tulsa in a game at Arkansas on July 22, 2007.
Jirschele led the Omaha Storm Chasers to the Pacific Coast League championship in his ninth consecutive year of managing the Royals' top affiliate this season. Along the way, he also won his 1,000th game as a Minor League manager.
Bobby Jones (2008), Charlie Montoyo (2009) and Woody Huyke (2010) have also received the Coolbaugh Award.
