1927 Ford Zipper Lakes Modified - Labor Of LoveWritten by Brian Brennan on September 12, 2007 Contributors: Jerry Irwin A Lifelong Dream Comes To Pass
It's always a good thing when you can realize a lifelong dream. Such is the case for Stewart Milby of Glenmills, Pennsylvania, as boyhood dreams took shape in this Zipper Lakes Modified. With a lifetime of ideas, the training as a machinist, the help of his son, Dan, and the unflinching support of his wife, Rosemary, Stew has himself a bona fide hot rod. It didn't take long to realize the best way to tell the story of this '27 Zipper Lakes Modified was to, well, let Stewart tell it. So, in his words, here is how this roadster came about and what goes into making it come to life.
"As a young boy growing up in a small town in Delaware in the '50s, I spent a lot of time building model cars and reading the 'little books.' Now and then I would see a hot rod pass by, and I would watch until it was out of sight. Boy, was I hooked.
"In today's world of high-tech, high-dollar hot rods, it's hard for the everyday guy to have a car that's different. Most of us have a budget to go by, and I have always been fascinated with the lakes modifieds. These are pretty much a Southern California hot rod. Because they are rare on the East Coast, I decided this would be a perfect hot rod to build. They just have a look all their own. I own a small machine shop, so I knew I would be able to fabricate most of the parts needed. This would also help keep the cost down but would involve a lot of time.
"I started by ordering a '27 Ford Lakes Modified body and frame from Zipper Motors. A good friend of mine was building a '41 Ford coupe and he decided to change running gear midway into his project. We worked out a deal, and I bought the motor, trans, and rearend. The tires, wheels, and '46 Ford caps came by way of Coker Tire.
"The front axle is a Super Bell 4-inch dropped I-beam and '37 Ford spindles. I fabricated a set of C-shaped framehorns to get the headlights down as low as I could. I also fabricated taillight stanchions from aluminum to mount the '37 lights. Keeping with the old-style look, I mounted quarter-elliptical springs and friction shocks on all four corners. Using 5/8-inch o.d. 304 stainless steel rod, I fabricated 40-inch-long Curtis-style hairpins.
"The rear got a lot of grinding and sanding to give it a smooth, clean look. The rear and front axles were painted with Rust-Oleum Safety Red out of spray cans. Hairpin, spring, and shackle brackets were made from 1/2-inch flat steel and TIG-welded in place. A 10-bolt quick-change rearend cover from Street & Performance was then installed. I fabricated a stainless steel pushbar using 1/2-inch rod. The motor has stock bore and stroke; I ported and polished the heads, and added a Crane Cam-got to have that lumpy idle. Lakes-style headers fit the look while the stainless steel exhaust was fabricated from some 90-degree bends and a pair of used turbo mufflers from a friend.
"I fabricated valve cover breathers with the PCV mounted inside the driver-side breather. I then fabricated a distributor cover with fins to match the air cleaner. I machine-turned a sheet of stainless steel and cut it to fit over the entire dash. Stewart Warner white-face gauges were then installed.
"I made the steering column using 1 1/4-inch stainless steel tubing and press in bronze bushings for the 3/4-inch shaft. A Bell-style steering wheel was connected to a Corvair steering box. The steering arm was extended 3 inches to clear the header.
"All the dash knobs are machined to look like mini-style beehives. The center knob is a push-pull shift cable. The beehive knob can also be found on the oil dipstick, trans dipstick, rearend breather, tire valve stems, and inside door releases. Two $10 Indian blankets were used for seats and door coverings. The windshield was chopped 1 inch to meet the 7-inch minimum required by Pennsylvania. A '28 Ford radiator shell and stainless steel mesh stone guard goes around an AFCO aluminum radiator with a 16-inch electric fan. A pair of 6-gallon aluminum tanks, made by Zipper Motors, is mounted under the car and holds the fuel.
"An amazing thing happened about halfway into this project. The Department of Transportation in Pennsylvania passed Act 228, which states a street rod 1948 and older no longer requires fenders, bumpers, or a hood. Wow-did that make my day, or what? This hot rod is 100 percent legal.
"I presently drive a '37 Ford slantback, which I have driven year-round for the past 14 years, accumulating 62,000 miles. This Lakes Modified won't be any different. Driving them is the best part. It's just fun, fun, fun.
"The only creature comfort in the car is a heater from Southern Air. I fabricated a pair of Lexan side windows to keep cold air out. I have driven the car in 20-degree weather and it's nice and toasty inside.
"I have about $16,000 of real money in the car. It's not a true value because I didn't count time, but I think they call it a labor of love."
It's pretty hard not to appreciate what Stew has accomplished with his cars and his philosophy about driving them, which is fun, fun, fun. We have to give a tip of the hat to Stew for being a lifelong hot rodder and never losing sight of his dream.

Alex Gordon named Royals nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award
Major League Baseball and Chevrolet, the official vehicle of Major League Baseball, today announced that Alex Gordon was named the Royals 2012 nominee for the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevrolet. Today marks the eleventh annual Roberto Clemente Day, which was established by Major League Baseball to honor Clemente's legacy and to officially recognize local Club nominees of the Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevrolet. Gordon is one of the 30 Club finalists for the annual award, which recognizes a Major League Baseball player who best represents the game of baseball through positive contributions on and off the field, including sportsmanship and community involvement.
The Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevrolet pays tribute to Clemente's achievements and character by recognizing current players who truly understand the value of helping others. The Award is named for the 15-time MLB All-Star and Hall of Famer who died in a plane crash on New Year's Eve 1972 while attempting to deliver supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
Among his charitable endeavors, Gordon has been a longtime supporter of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Beginning during his rookie season in 2007, the 28-year-old outfielder has attended Alex's Lemonade Stand events at area Hy-Vee grocery stores, participated in public service announcements, welcomed children diagnosed with cancer out to the ballpark and visited youngsters in the hospital. The Royals and ARAMARK, the official concessionaire of Kauffman Stadium, have partnered this year to donate a portion of the proceeds from each lemonade sale at the ballpark to ASLF. It is Gordon's involvement in the charity that helped push this initiative to fruition. Gordon also serves as a local spokesperson for ALSF.
In addition, the Lincoln, Neb., native became a big supporter of the Diamond Dawgs – a 12-and-under baseball team from his hometown that were "Playing for Pink" by donning pink jerseys to raise awareness for breast cancer after two members of the team lost their mothers to cancer. Rather than sticking with tradition by having their names across the backs of the jerseys, the Diamond Dawgs selected words such as hope, conquer and fearless in tribute of the fight against cancer.
Gordon and his wife, Jamie, hosted the Playing for Pink Casino Night in Lincoln on November 19, 2011. The event raised more than $120,000 – half of which ($64,000) was donated to the American Cancer Society. The other half was used to send the team to a tournament this summer in Cooperstown, N.Y. – a trip one of the deceased mothers told her doctors that she wanted to live long enough to see her son take.
As the Royals honoree, Gordon will receive an award and donation to the charity of his choice, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, from Chevrolet.

I mean, clearly, I'm not playing to the level of others here, as I'm still nowhere near killing him. I've tried literally every strategy I could find, and have probably spent over 40 hours this past week working on him (had a lot of time off), so even if I'm not exceptionally talented, surely I should have seen a kill by now. All I can figure is the fight is simply overtuned, and/or putting ***FAR*** too much emphasis on managing that stupid, stupid Pit Lord! And the Felhunters... ugh.
I just believe this quest is a betrayal of what we were lead to believe a cool, fun quest that anyone could down with a little patience and commitment. Kudos tho those capable of downing him, but as someone who considers himself fairly skilled, extremely hard-headed, and a pretty decent Warlock, I think they've just really set the bar too high. Yes, it's technically possible to defeat him, but unless they allow AI-piloting, or somebody wants to come to my house and play this warlock for me, I've learned that, without a shadow of a doubt, I am literally incapable of defeating this boss.
Now, sure, I know there must be a huge sense of accomplishment from beating him, but that sense of accomplishment isn't suddenly going to make it seem okay. I can tell you for a fact, if the Charger or Dreadsteed quest-lines had been this difficult, nobody would have fond memories of them. For a quest with some smart design and clever mechanics, and genuinely interesting lore, it's just a shame that it need to lie behind a brick-wall that most players will just never overcome, until possibly the next expansion.

Rick Perry deploys law enforcement along Texas-Mexico border
Newscast Media AUSTIN—Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Speaker Joe
Straus have directed the Texas Dept. of Public Safety (DPS) to immediately begin law
enforcement surge operations on the Texas-Mexico border to combat the flood of
illegal immigration into the state in the absence of adequate federal resources to
secure the border. State leaders have authorized DPS to fund border security
operations at approximately $1.3 million per week.
"Texas can't afford to wait for Washington to act on this crisis and we will not sit idly
by while the safety and security of our citizens are threatened," Gov. Perry said.
"Until the federal government recognizes the danger it's putting our citizens in by its
inaction to secure the border, Texas law enforcement must do everything they can to
keep our citizens and communities safe." CONTINUE TO FULL STORY>>

Kiwi Collection - (8 Female & 2 Male)
Item #5943 Actinindia arguta
|sun, part
|Plant Height:
|Ground Condition:
|Well drained
|Hardiness Zone:
|4 - 10
Ordering Information
|Kiwi Collection - (8 Female & 2 Male), (Reg. $60.95) (Qty 1)
Our cold hardy strain is a big improvement over the fuzzy, brown-skinned Kiwi. This rare Kiwi is a much sweeter tasting fruit. Grows much further north than the regular Kiwi. Fruits average about 3/4-1 1/2" in diameter. Tastes somewhat like a tangy combination of strawberries and pineapple. Fruit will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 months. The hardy Kiwi is somewhat similar to the grape vine, only much faster growing. Under ideal growing conditions it will grow up to 5" a day --- and reach a height of 8' the very first year! It will quickly climb a trellis or wall. Its thick mass of bright green leaves will soon cover ugly service areas, stumps, even old buildings. Then in late May, lovely white, camellia-like flowers will appear to fill the air with a fragrant lily-of-the-valley scent. NOTE: Be sure to plant a male Kiwi with at least every 5 females for proper pollination. Complete growing instructions included with order.

08/17/2008, I'm in Hilton Head, she is in Cuba but evidently coming this way
Well, well, well, what do we have here. I spent some time early this morning studying this system and it isn't likely to hit us hard, but it seems were likely to feel its effect more or less. The predictions for this area are 20-30% chance of heavy winds later this week. However, if it does turn into a hurricaine and tracks as predicted, we will be on the top right portion of the system, which is the dangerous side. I'm in a pretty safe place now, but this thing isn't supposed to come our way until Wednesday or Thursday. Lets just take it one day at a time. If it doesn't look good to head south again on Monday or Tuesday, perhaps we'll be here for longer than expected. I've discussed with my German friends an action plan in the even a hurricaine hits in this area. We will anchor our boats in a protected spot near here, get the dogs and ourselves and the most important things in their Ford Explorer, and evacuate away from the shore, leaving the sailboats to sink or swim. And we're not going to leave the dogs even if the shelter won't allow animals. Probably nothing will happen and the system will dissapate long before it gets here, but just in case.

I've shown the forward cabin several times in the blog. It's an important spot I guess. With the air conditioning the last day or two, the nights have been oh so comfortable. Last night I slept almost 8 hours straight, which is really unusual for me. When we're anchored and without a/c, that comforter gets put to the side and I use only a sheet - sometimes even it is too hot and I sleep with nothing on top of me. With the switch to digital tv in a few months, both tvs on board will be obsolete and may need replacing with flat screens. I hardly ever watch TV though, so that won't be a priority - well maybe one nice flat screen in the forward cabin - but the other TV is destined for salvage and towels will go in its place.
While I'm on a food picture thing, this was breakfast after a full morning of walking and playing with dogs and friends. Eggs (mixed with a dollop of 1/2 and 1/2), a little vidalia sweet onion, the last of my green beans cut into pieces, broken up sausage link, and some diced tomato. Yummy with some ice water and lime. Eating well (not always in a heart healthy way, but often) is turning out to be an important part of my cruising experience. It's really nice to have the time to cook whole foods without all the added salt and fats that came from all the fast food I ate - especially those working lunches - those were killer, literally.

I made a late dinner last night of salad and Progresso Clam Chowder. Before that we went on an after dark walk with our new German friends and their dog, Monty. It was beautiful with an almost full moon which had an orangish shade to it. After the walk, we went to the patio bar for a beer. They welcome the dogs at all the marina restaurants and bring them water bowls and treats. Amazing. I just came to this place for some quick repairs and it turns out to be its own experience - and a nice one at that. Today they took us in their car to a breach where the dogs could run unhindered by people or rules. Later I went along on a shopping trip to Sams Club and Publix, a large supermarket chain. Now I'm really stocked. We even hit the ABC store (for those who know what that is) I wanted to scoot through Hilton Head but it is beautiful here. Great parks, shopping, not too crowded - nice, happy people mostly. By the way, one of my friends mentioned that she liked the food pictures and I remember liking this book about a couple who sail far down south and the wife writes recipies in the book. My bag of grits is in the picture. My grits making is improving slowly and the dogs are happy to get some in their food at every meal lately. I wouldn't mind a Bojangles chicken, however, if there's one around. If not, I think there might be a fried chicken joint or two somewhere around these parts.

Today was a productive day for boat maintenance. The mechanic I'm hooked up with is really experienced and knows exactly what he's doing. The packing in the packing gland was replaced and the gland nuts (so to speak) were lubricated and adjusted so that only a few drops of water come through each minute and only a bit more when the propellor shaft is turning (necessary for lubrication). This repair has stopped the need for regular bilge pump activation, which takes one more thing off my mind. While in the rear engine compartment, he replaced the main fuel filter, the heat-exchanger zink (the most important zink because it sacrifices itself to prevent engine rust), and checked the transmission fluid and alignment of the propellor shaft. All is now well in that compartment. However, the experience of the last few weeks dealing with the bilge water has shown me that my existing system was just not sufficiently safe for offshore cruising. If that one old looking pump should fail, I would be left with hand pumping the emergency bellows pump or, more likely, employing the old bucket system. It's hard to manage a boat and two dogs singlehanded while pumping water out, especially if the conditions are snotty as they probably would be in that situation. So I had a twin 1500 gph pump and float switch installed and wired directly to the battery so it will work even of the electical panel blows. I also had the float switch I bought in Beaufort for the old pump properly installed. Now I've doubled my bilge pumping capacity. I shouldn't need even one pump since essentially no water is flowing into the bilge anymore. But the Catalina 36 has a shallow bilge so if I ever do get a bunch of water inside the boat, I will have plenty of pump power to get it out automatically. And if I'm in the middle of nowhere and one of my bilge pumps dies, I've got a back-up already on line. We also installed back-flow valves in both pump lines since there is a long run to the back of the boat and the old pump was cycling on and off repeatedly as water came back down the line into the bilge after it turned itself off. The new-looking pump in the center section of the picture is now primary and activates first, so the old pump will get much less use than the primary and will only be needed as a back-up. I know this seems technical and boring and maybe a little excessive, but having experienced the need to sleep with one foot on the cabin sole (figuratively speaking - it was never even close to that bad), it is a big relief to know that the boat isn't leaking and even if it does, I've got two electric pumps, two manual pumps, and two buckets. Since it's Friday, I can't get anymore work done here until Monday. We are making such good progress that I'm going to stay the weekend and continue the refit on Monday. We should be done that day. I'm in a nice spot, I've got hook-ups for free, there are friendly people here, and I've got a court hearing that I'm appearing telephonically at on Monday, so its all good. We might get a little bored, but we'll be in air conditioning, which is nice.

As you can see, each 8-D battery is like 3 car batteries. I have two 8-D batteries, plus a car battery dedicated to the starter for the diesal engine. I charged the new batteries today and just took the shore power off line a few mintes ago to see how they hold a charge overnight. A few days ago I was at the point where I could barely make it from evening to morning without running the engine or the generator (actually I was already developing electric use procedures to get me pretty easily through the night, but they excluded computer, tv, or a lot of light use. These new big boys should last a few days before needing recharging. We'll see.

They have all sorts of tours and watersports and things to occupy and entertain the people who come to vacation here. One popular one is the Dolphin Safari. The dolphins come right up to the boat, even when it is at dock. Jake and Anne have become used to them. I never cease to be inspired when one comes up unexpectedly and breathes before heading below.

Building a wall between heart and hand
Religion | Stories of redemption are common at Camp Alandale, where abused children hear and experience one often life-altering message: You are loved
"Building a wall between heart and hand" Continued...
Related story: Faith-based White House
Reynaldo Reyes remembers well the stinging end of his father's extension cord. The Santa Ana, Calif., native would often line up along the wall with his mother and four sisters, taking turns as innocent whipping posts for a man's insatiable fury. "Sometimes he would use a TV cord he'd ripped out," Mr. Reyes recalls of his father. "It was thinner, so it hurt more. And he knew that."
In the late 1980s, Mr. Reyes's beatings suddenly became less frequent. Often his father would send most of the family outside, keeping only one or two daughters with him for extended periods. Just 12 years old at the time, Mr. Reyes thought little of it, his welted flesh welcoming the chance to heal. Far less naïve, however, his mother soon ascertained the reason behind her husband's behavioral shift. "She went to the police," Mr. Reyes recalls, "and that same morning, they showed up with guns drawn, kicked down the bedroom door and arrested my father."
The physical, sexual, and verbal abuse was over. Only the emotional mess remained-fear, self-loathing, and unmitigated rage.
An Orange County social worker helped change all that, introducing the five Reyes children to Camp Alandale, a Christian ministry for abused children. Sixteen years later, Mr. Reyes, his mother, and his four sisters have found healing in Christianity from their painful past. "Without the people of this camp, I would have ended up killing someone," Mr. Reyes said. "I would either be dead or in prison." Hardly an exaggerated melodrama, such a grim outcome has befallen most of Mr. Reyes's childhood playmates from the gang-ravaged neighborhood of his youth.
Similar stories of redemption are common at Camp Alandale, where since 1980 about 3,000 abused children have come to hear and experience one simple but often life-altering message: You are loved. Orange County Social Services (OCSS) often unofficially endorses Camp Alandale, despite its explicitly evangelistic purpose. Mr. Reyes, now a member of the ministry's full-time staff, said the county social worker who directed him to Camp Alandale was not a Christian: "She sent me for the same reason so many other social workers send kids-the benefits."
OCSS learned of such benefits in the camp's first year of operation, when a child in a catatonic state-unresponsive due to extreme trauma-experienced breakthrough. After moping through three days of camp in silence, he opened his mouth, said his sexual abuser's claims of love for him were fraudulent, and proclaimed, "Now I know what love is." Where two years of county-sponsored therapy failed, Camp Alandale's largely volunteer-run program succeeded. Deeply impressed, OCSS began funneling all the children in its charge through the camp.
The program at Alandale matches its message-simple, focused, effective. Counselors need not hold psychology degrees if they demonstrate capabilities in other ways, nor is any camper placed on behavior-altering drugs. For many, camp is an escape from clinical approaches to healing that have unsuccessfully been tried on them. Alandale's ratio of one counselor for every two campers allows large blocks of one-on-one time for establishing trust and teaching biblical truths.
Mr. Reyes recalls his first impression of camp at age 13-a rush of overwhelming kindness that was "so different from the rest of my life. I wanted that." The personal and intimate interest counselors took in him was enough to draw Mr. Reyes back for a weekend in the winter. Most summer campers follow that pattern. Many return in subsequent years, taking advantage of the free program until they are no longer eligible after high-school graduation.
Almost a quarter century since founding Alandale, directors Robin and Karen Wood plan to expand their model to five other counties in southern California by 2010. A second camp is already underway in San Diego County, allotting space for 400 abused children per year at the two facilities. "We don't do any official advertising because there's such a need," said camp vision promoter Jeff Taylor. "There's never a shortage of campers."
Funding shortages are more common, though not overtly problematic. Camp Alandale brought in $555,000 from individuals, churches, foundations, and companies last year, enough for moderate expansion. Government funds could significantly increase the organization's growth rate, but despite Alandale's documented success and healthy relationship with OCSS, such money will never come-not even from President George W. Bush's Faith-Based Initiative. "We are explicitly evangelical, so we would never qualify," Mr. Taylor said.
The White House list of dos and don'ts for faith-based charities seeking government funding precludes using "any part of a direct federal grant to fund religious worship, instruction or proselytization. Instead, organizations may use government money only to support the non--religious social services that they provide." For ministries promoting spiritual renewal as a means to overcome social ills, the Faith-Based Initiative is off limits. Religious organizations can use the money only to provide material handouts.
So long as the conditions for federal dollars include a prohibition of "inherently religious" activities, many Christians prefer privately funded ministries. Chris Plummer, executive director of Community New Start (CNS) in Austin, Texas, calls the Faith-Based Initiative a farce: "They want to tell you the way you can say Jesus."
A subsection of the Initiative's instructions to ministries confirms that charge. After posing the hypothetical question, "If someone asks me about my faith, can I share it with them?" the White House pamphlet answers, "You should set up a time to speak with that person later. In this way, you avoid using government funds for what might be taken to be an inherently religious activity, and the program is kept on track." Most truly faith-based ministries might better describe such a lost opportunity for evangelism as pushing the program decidedly off track.
Mr. Plummer's ministry operates largely on the support of a local church. Since 1996, CNS has worked in one of Austin's lowest-income communities to develop relationships and do holistic ministry. Offering job placement, after-school programs, help with drug and alcohol recovery, medical checkups, food distribution, and the fluidity to broaden its scope as needed, CNS could likely qualify for large sums of government money. But Mr. Plummer insists, "There are too many strings attached."
Besides governmental requirements to compartmentalize sacred and secular activity, Mr. Plummer says taking federal money can potentially hurt fundraising in other areas. Many evangelical philanthropic organizations harbor healthy suspicions of ministries financially dependent on the government, noting that such ministries tend to slide toward secularization.
The CNS after-school program does not compromise. Currently available in two elementary schools and one middle school, Smart Start uses school property for its four primary activities: tutoring, organized recreation, Bible studies, and singing praise to God. CNS has yet to experience resistance to conducting such explicitly religious behavior on state-owned land. The reason: The academic aptitude of students participating in the daily three-hour program has improved by an average of one full letter grade. "Teachers love it, because they see the change in students," Mr. Plummer said. "We present ourselves as a free option. Kids don't have to be in it. We just want to use their rooms. It's hard to say no to that."
Such sub-radar flight would not be possible were CNS connected to federal funding and the pervasive spotlight that accompanies it. Even in the shadows of private support, however, Mr. Plummer anticipates resistance. An overzealous teacher, a disgruntled student, a story in the wrong newspaper-the possibilities for problems seem endless. "If we can build up momentum," he said, "then when those battles do come, and they will come, we'll have enough acceptance to fight them."
Strong community relationships are central for establishing such broad acceptance and for achieving ministerial aims. Recording the progress of relational successes, however, is difficult. Private financial supporters may not restrict express religious activity, but most prefer to view documented results before signing any checks. Both CNS and Camp Alandale must continually make efforts to quantify the respective fruit of their ministries.
For CNS, grade improvements, employment rates, and church attendance tell at least part of the story. Alandale records how many campers go on to become camp counselors (80) or staff members (six). The most provocative illustrations of success, however, do not rely on statistical data but rather come from individual stories: a young Hispanic farm girl moving from the nightmare of daily sexual abuse to high-school gradu-ation, financial independence, and spiritual renewal; an American Indian boy escaping from a reservation culture that had ensconced his parents in drug and alcohol abuse.
The stories are additional evidence of what Amy Sherman of the Hudson Institute notes: "The most effective groups challenge those who embrace faith to live out its moral implications in every significant area of their lives, from breaking drug or alcohol addiction and repairing family relationships to recommitting themselves to the value of honest work." Given that evidence, government programs should not pressure organizations to choose between passing out soup and communicating biblical truth.

Google Books Ruling Leaves Fate of Founder's Dream of "Library to Last Forever" in Limbo
When a federal judge threw out the class-action settlement in the Google Books case last week, he brought an end, at least for now, to one of the boldest initiatives the search giant has ever undertaken.
Back when he was still a grad student at Stanford in the late '90s, co-founder Larry Page began planning a "library to last forever," filled with digital versions of virtually every book ever published.
By 2005, when he and Sergey Brin had built Google up into the most successful company on the planet, Page began to put his plan into motion. Google made deals with leading academic libraries to begin scanning books, including many rare and out of print books, at a rapid pace -- to the point that today they have scanned a total of some 15 million books.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Ramon Galloway's layup with three seconds
remaining proved to be the difference maker, as La Salle took down No. 9
Butler, 54-53, Wednesday at Tom Gola Arena.
Tyreek Duren scored 16 points and dished out six assists and Sam Mills netted
11 points and snagged five rebounds for the Explorers (13-5, 3-2 A-10), who
snapped Butler's 13-game winning streak and bounced back from a loss Saturday.
It was La Salle's first victory over a top-10 team since 1980.
Andrew Smith scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds and Kellen Dunham
added 15 points and nailed three 3-pointers, for the Bulldogs (16-3, 3-1), who
fell for the first time since Nov. 21 and dropped their first conference game
of the season.
Back-to-back buckets by Smith gave Butler a 51-50 lead, but Mills answered
with his own jumper and another one-point lead.
Smith's lay-in with eight seconds left looked to be the Bulldogs' prayer,
before Galloway, who finished with just six points on 3-of-10 shooting, nailed
the game-winner.

If you turned on the TV this past weekend you couldn't escape coverage of the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on this country. There was one program in particular that I wish everyone could have seen...one that schools should consider showing all students.
I don't make it a habit of recommending watching television shows. But the documentary, "102 Minutes That Changed America," on the History Channel is must see TV.
The Emmy Award winning documentary, which first aired on September 11th, 2008, re-aired this past weekend. The documentary puts you at ground zero as if you were there. It does this by using amateur video by people on the ground, in apartments, and nearby businesses as the tragedy was unfolding. It pieces the video together, unfiltered in real time to give you an account of the horror of that day. There is virtually no commentary from news anchors, just video and sound from the people there. It is a whole new perspective of 9/11, the realization of those on the ground about what was happening and the response. And it does it in a way that makes you feel like you are there. This isn't video of ground zero after the attacks happened, this is the chilling story of it actually going on.
My fifteen-year-old son happened to walk into the living room while I was watching the documentary. I left it on for awhile and then decided to turn the channel fearing some of the graphic nature of the video. He told me to turn it back. It was at that moment that I realized how important this program was.
My son was in the first grade when 9/11 happened. He, like many others, have certainly watched stories over the years about what happened. But I think even he was surprised about what he was seeing, because it was like he was experiencing it, just as those old enough to remember it did. And it occurred to me, even seniors in high school were only in the third grade when 9/11 happened. They too certainly know what happened, but only through news stories.
If you are old enough to remember 9/11, you know the uneasiness, panic and concern you felt that day. While I don't wish those feelings on anyone, this video certainly brought that all back unlike anything I have watched. It is for that reason that this is an important piece of television...a real education and service schools could do for their kids and this country by showing it.
The video is a horrifying reminder that we, as Americans, have real enemies in the world...and they are not each other.

Well, my buddy and I backpacked nine miles deep into the Montana high alpine backcountry for the opener of early rifle. This is a public land, OTC hunt for mule deer. Deer numbers are not high in this area, but if you find a lone buck, he is often an old one. That is the case with this deer. He only had a few teeth left. He was in full, beautiful, untouched velvet with a 4 inch horizontal kicker on his driver's side ... before the shot(s). I kept putting shots on him to try to keep him on the ribbon cliff he was on, but of course he rolled right off. The velvet was shredded, and the kicker was MIA. My buddy and I searched the path of the fall, and through some miracle, my buddy found it in the rocks. My taxi should be able to fix the kicker and put some synthetic velvet on.
The pack-out was brutal, but worth it!
Sweet buck Bitterroot.
That's phenomenal. The Bob? More pictures?
What a thud. Look at that eye guard.
Great high country Buck.

(KSDK Sports) -- The Blues had their complete roster healthy Saturday for the first time in 160 games, dating back to March 3, 2010. The final pieces added to the puzzle Saturday were Andy McDonald (shoulder), Matt D'Agostini (concussion) and Roman Polak (knee). That pushed Jaden Schwartz, Ryan Reaves and Carlo Colaiacovo out of the lineup. Some were wondering if the unfamiliarity with all of the new faces Saturday contributed to the lack of cohesion.
"I think some of it is bringing in new players," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "But I think it's deeper than that. We'll just have to address it and get better from it. ... I think we addressed it tonight."
Penalties Were Problem in Columbus Loss
The Blues took 12 penalties for 41 minutes in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Columbus, including nine in the third period, when their emotions got the best of them. Three straight penalties put Columbus on a 5-on-3 power play for two full minutes, and the Blue Jackets scored on the two-man advantage to go ahead 4-2.
"It seems in games like that where we get really involved physically, we seem to take the bad penalties," Blues forward Andy McDonald said. "Obviously if we want to be a good team, we can't play like that. That's what the playoffs are going to be like ... it's going to be a little chaotic at times and we have to find a way to tailor that emotion. We got really worked up about the officiating and we weren't able to reign it in. It spun out of control and it cost us the game."
Backes Scores 24th
Center David Backes scored his team-leading 24th goal of the season in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Columbus. Backes had six of the Blues' 36 shots in the game, but even with that much offense, the team couldn't beat Columbus rookie G Allen York.
Right Wing David Perron has proved to have good chemistry with linemates Andy McDonald and Patrik Berglund. But on Saturday, Perron's 19th goal of the season and seventh in 11 games came easily. He somehow sneaked a puck short-side on Blue Jackets G Allen York.
Goalie Jaroslav Halak made 29 saves, but lost for the first time in 11 games (10-0 previously) at Scottrade Center and for the first time in regulation since Nov. 22. The Blues gave up five goals to the opposition for the first time in 53 games and only the third time all season.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- Students were robbed at gunpoint off the University of Maryland campus.
An alert was sent by the school, detailing three people walking east on Lakeland Road and passing two suspects going west around 11:30 p.m. Friday. The pair of blackmales brandished a silver and brown handgun while wearing a gray sweatshirt and a green coat, respectively. Prince George's County Police say it was just two victims who had personal property stolen before the suspects fled on food towards the train tracks.
Police were not able to locate any suspects and ask the public for any information.
The UMD Police Department also sent out a release citing several robberies reported in the area. They added County officers made two arrests in the off-campus cases but in another, it was determined the reported robbery was fabricated.

« Top Chef: Preview Tonight's All New Episode! | Home | American Idol: Hollywood Week Round Two – Group Round »
Survivor: Redemption Island — Crazy First Tribal Council
February 16, 2011 08:07 PM by Ryan Haidet
Wow. While some seasons of Survivor start with a whimper, the premiere of Survivor: Redemption Island began with an explosion! Host Jeff Probst had been teasing that the first Tribal Council may be among the best — and he was exactly right! If you missed what happened, it is absolutely worth finding the video and watching it yourself. On top of that, one player found a hidden Immunity Idol without a single clue leading to a tangled mess of events. Plus, we learn early in the episode that Phillip is a true nut.
"Welcome to Survivor"
Equipped with only the clothes on their backs, the 16 new castaways were riding together in a helicopter over the beautiful Nicaraguan landscapes. Phillip was the first person showcased, and he introduced himself in a confessional as a former federal agent — a personality trait we heard many times throughout the evening.
The helicopter landed on the beach, and once the castaways organized themselves on the mats, Probst proudly announced, "Welcome to Survivor." The 16 new players erupted in cheers as another chopper landed on the beach carrying "Boston Rob" Mariano and Russell Hantz. When Rob set foot on the shore, they all clapped and hollered. When Russell landed, they displayed shock and disappointment. Probst offered a brief history of each returning strategist saying they offer 156 combined days of Survivor experience. Francesca reacted openly saying the guys were sizing them up as prey, and might not be there to help them out with all of their previous experiences. The guys randomly drew for buffs next as Boston Rob pulled orange (Ometepe) and Russell pulled purple (Zapatera).
Once Rob and Russell settled in, Probst then announced the other major twist this season known as Redemption Island. The castaways looked at Probst in awe as he explained the concept.
"What if"
Tonight's premiere was solely sponsored by Sprint, which offered a unique series of short commercial breaks showcasing "What if" moments from previous players in the game to further drive home the way Redemption Island works.
The first one featured a segment surrounding Shambo from Survivor: Samoa asking what she would have been capable of doing had she been given the opportunity to live on Redemption Island. Probst's voiceover on the sequence also called Shambo a "fun-spirited" player. From personal experience having met Shambo at the Survivor: Samoa finale, she was not fun-spirited with me at all. Rude. Stand-offish. Brash. That's more accurate.
The other "What if" moments scattered throughout the four breaks the rest of the night featured Brenda and Jane from Survivor: Nicaragua along with Erik from Survivor: Micronesia — Fans Vs. Favorites.
Building A New Home
Once Zapatera arrived at their camp, Russell brought his tribe together and told them how difficult the game really is while also saying he was not there to sabotage anybody. After that moment, Ralph happily started building shelter using their provided supplies as Mike talked about his "man sweater." Yep, Ralph is one hairy dude.
Over at Ometepe, Boston Rob worked with his group helping to build as his tribe openly expressed comfort in having the former villain on their tribe. As the group worked to construct their new home, Phillip started rubbing some people the wrong way because he was being pushy and too forward. He corrected Andrea's hatchet skills. She responded in a confessional saying he just wants to play the fatherly role. As they took a break, Phillip revealed to several of the females that he's a former federal agent before explaining how he is an expert at analyzing people's behavior. It was with that information, Phillip said he was very useful in determining who is a true friend for them in the competition. Francesca laughed him off. "It's hilarious. Who cares?"
Idol Hunter
Kristina said in a confessional she was surprised nobody had searched through their camp supplies to for a hidden Immunity Idol. As she searched for herself, Rob saw her on the clue hunt. Soon after, Boston Rob and Phillip made a deal to work together and bumped fists to solidify the alliance. Moments later, Phillip went to chat with Kristina and told her that he wanted to stick with the women despite his deal with Rob.
Back at Zapatera, Russell and Stephanie were walking together and it wasn't long until the duo cut a deal. But Russell's new alliance was no secret. David noticed Russell's intentions and made note of it to Mike.
Day 3 at Ometepe, Kristina was becoming more and more nervous about Rob's threatening presence. Already looking into the game's future, Kristina spent a lot of her time searching alone for the hidden Immunity Idol. And while looking around different obvious landmarks, she moved a few rocks and easily discovered the hidden Idol. Wow. Amazing. "This is gonna be fun," she exclaimed.
Shortly after her discovery, Phillip was trying to talk strategy with Kristina and Francesca. It didn't work very well because his attitude came across way too strong. The women were fed up and told him he was acting ridiculous. When Kristina tried to chime in, Phillip hushed her. "He's such a pain in my ass," Francesca said in confessional. "Did I mention we're in an alliance together? How awesome."
Immunity Battle
The first Immunity Challenge consisted of a series of elements. The beginning was very physical as the contestants had to push large blocks into place, which created steps up to the top of another platform. After a rope-chopping sequence, there was a complicated puzzle at the very top. Zapatera had a very big lead throughout the entire challenge — until the last portion involving the big puzzle. It was a close finish, but Zapatera was able to stay ahead and claimed victory. They also won fire in the form of flint and went back to camp with high spirits.
Ometepe returned to camp as Kristina secretly opened up to Francesca about finding the hidden Immunity Idol. She wanted to convince the men to vote against her so she could open the game up immediately by playing the Idol and blindsiding Boston Rob. Francesca was stunned that Kristina had found the Idol without a clue, but wanted to try and convince her to change her plans. Francesca thought keeping Rob around for now was a good idea for the strength of the tribe. Natalie was her desired target.
With Tribal Council looming, Boston Rob thought Kristina was a dangerous player and was ready to vote her off. To get his plans in motion, Rob told everybody they needed to split the vote just in case she found the hidden Immunity Idol. The plan was for the men to vote against Francesca with everybody else going up against Kristina.
At the other end of camp, Kristina revealed the hidden Immunity Idol to Phillip in an effort to solidify their alliance although she was nervous about telling him the secret. She vowed to give him total support throughout the game — something she was uncertain about because of his big mouth.
A Wild Ride
At the first Tribal Council, Francesca said the smartest vote would be to keep the strongest in the competition. That led to the discussion of Boston Rob, which Francesca openly admitted would not be going home even though he was an expected target. In reaction to her comments, Phillip interrupted and said he disagreed because Francesca and Kristina had asked him to vote against Rob. When Francesca and Kristina argued with him over their discussion, Phillip changed his mind and said, "My vote tonight will be for Francesca." But he couldn't pronounce her name correctly. The former federal agent repeatedly mispronounced it, and when she corrected him, Phillip said he has a dry mouth, which he has been getting treatment for.
If that all wasn't whacky enough, Phillip turned the tables and told everybody that Kristina found a hidden Idol. Probst looked surprised and asked her if it was true. Kristina admitted she had found the Idol, which opened up a new can of worms. Boston Rob asked her to show everybody the Idol, and Kristina pulled it out of her bag. After she haned it to Boston Rob so he could see it, he requested that she give it to him and he would keep her safe from the first vote. She obviously didn't give it away and reclaimed the Idol into her possession.
After that craziness, the group finally voted. Kristina decided not to play her Idol, and Probst tallied the ballots — two votes against Phillip; three votes for Kristina; four votes for Francesca.
With that, Francesca's torch was snuffed and she became the first person on Redemption Island. "Don't trust Phillip," she announced as she walked out of Tribal Council with her unlit torch in hand.

For me the greatest feeling has been sending out the first text message with photos attached. "I did it"
Then the response is, "by yourself?"
And with a tear filled smile I replied, "Yessir..."
One thing that has helped me is taking a hunting magazine with good bucks in it and then sticking a pic of my family to the wall of my tent. Then when you begin to bargain and negotiate with yourself, you can look at that pic of your fam and the magazine. This helps me to set my priorities straight and realize l have one goal and only one way to accomplish it... Man up, stay on the mountain and get the job done. Thats just my 2 cents.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Tuesday afternoon, DC Mayor Vincent Gray sent out a series of tweets lashing out about the federal government shutdown before releasing a letter to President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
READ THE LETTER: http://1.usa.gov/16PPDpq
At approximately 12:20 p.m., Gray tweeted in five parts:
"In no other part of our country are Americans facing the loss of basical municipal/state service due to the fed. government shutdown...Families in Chicago, Cincinnati, and Las Vegas are not worried that their local govts won't be able to maintain basic services...like schools, police and fire protection, or trash collection -- and neither should families here in the District of Columbia...Once again our citizens find themselves innocent bystanders to a federal goverment shutdown. This is simply unconscionable. And it is long past time for the District's budget to be decoupled from the federal budget."
Gray then encouraged people to read his letter to President Obama, Boehner and Reid. In the beginning of his letter, Gray demands a meeting with each leader to explain why the District needs approval for emergency legislation exempting D.C. from the shutdown. Gray then goes on to say the same thing he tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. He then adds that he's determined that all DC government services are essential and because "the District, through our own sound fiscal management, is in much better financial shape than the federal government -- we are able to continue paying for those services through the used of contingency funds. However, those funds will soon be exhausted, and the federal shutdown may continue indefinitely. This means that, without budget autonomy for the District, very soon there will be severely negative consequences for us -- consequences that no other state or city bill be forced to endure."
Gray writes that the shutdown has already negatively impacted payments to Medicaid providers, impacted the status of DC Health Link and impacted public safety. He says Metro and DC Water are also affected by the shutdown.
Gray ends his letter with "It is time for you to act. I look forward to speaking with each of you."
Last week, Gray criticized Democrats on Capitol Hill who opposed a Republican-backed move to approve city funding through December 15th while still refusing to pass an entire funding budget that would include Obamacare.

"max biaggi... consistently... inconsistent"
You are talking about the rider who finished all but one race of the season in the top 6. No DNFs, one 8th place. But, of course, surely you are right and Biaggi is struggling to be consistant.

Royals acquire outfielder Josh Anderson from Detroit
The Royals have acquired outfielder Josh Anderson from the Detroit Tigers for cash considerations. Anderson's reporting date has yet to be determined. The Royals will make a corresponding roster move at that time.
Anderson, 26, has spent the entire season with the Tigers, batting .242 (40-for-165) with four doubles, four triples, 16 RBI and 22 runs scored. In limited time, the speedster stole 13 bases in 15 attempts while playing at all three outfield spots. He was designated for assignment by Detroit on July 24.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound left-handed hitter and right-handed thrower was acquired by Detroit from the Atlanta Braves on March 30 of this year for right-handed pitcher Rudy Darrow. A native of Eubank, Ky., Anderson was originally a fourth round pick of the Houston Astros in 2003 before being dealt to the Braves on November 16, 2007 for pitcher Oscar Villarreal. In his only year with the Braves organization in 2008, Anderson was named the Richmond (AAA) Player of the Year after hitting .314 with 25 doubles and 42 stolen bases. He made his Major League debut last season and is .283 career hitter with 24 steals in 28 attempts in 135 games.
We welcome Josh to the club!

wow, this tasted just as good as any restaurant broccoli cheese soup I have had, can't believe it was so easy to make.
This is a great recipe but also add 8 oz. of cream cheese with the velvetta and it turns out to be the right consistency and flavor.

Let's start the morning roundup with a truly radical idea: How about using Paul Brown Stadium as a homeless shelter during the roughly 340 nights a year when the Bengals aren't using it?
That's just what might happen with the new Marlins ballpark or the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field in Florida if two state lawmakers have their way. They want to enforce an obscure 1988 Florida law that allows any ballpark or stadium that receives taxpayer money to serve as a homeless shelter on the dates that it is not in use. Sounds like a great idea to us.
Leave it to The Enquirer to publish a story analyzing local school district spending vs. academic success only to ignore the existence of private schools while drawing the conclusion that "a district that spends more doesn't necessarily produce higher test scores and graduation rates." The story, titled "Big-spending districts net mixed academic grades," doesn't include the qualifier "public school" or the possibility that local private schools spend even more per pupil than Indian Hill, Sycamore Township, Mariemont and Norwood, each of which spent $11,958 to $15,209 per student last year and earned Excellent or better ratings.
When The Enquirer reported Thursday that Archbishop Dennis Schnurr, head of the Cincinnati Archdiocese for the Catholic Church, would participate in an interfaith 9/11 memorial on Sunday with a Muslim group, it raised a few eyebrows and prompted some emails.
School officials in a suburb north of Cincinnati are being warned not to add creationism to their curriculum if they want to avoid a costly legal challenge.
A small group of protestors from the controversial "God hates fags" church in Kansas marched outside downtown's Duke Energy Convention Center this morning to oppose another religious group holding its nationwide meeting there.
The group from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., picketed the North American Christian Convention, the annual meeting of churches, colleges, institutions and missions programs associated with the Independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ organization. About 10,000 people are expected to attend.
A priest who previously was the campus minister at Xavier University has been relieved of his duties by the Catholic Church after it learned about "the improper touching" of two minors several years ago in Maryland.
The allegations against the Rev. Louis Bonacci were investigated by the church's Province Review Board, which also has contacted civil authorities. Bonacci served as minster at Xavier from 1994-99. Until the allegations were made, he was serving as coordinator of spiritual direction for priests and deacons in the Diocese of Scranton, in Pennsylvania.
A speech sponsored by the Cincinnati 912 Project at a local Catholic high school has been canceled because it violates the Archdiocese's policy prohibiting partisan events.
The 912 Project, a group inspired by right-wing talk show host and self-professed "rodeo clown" Glenn Beck, had rented space at Purcell Marian High School in East Walnut Hills for the Dec. 11 event.
With all the blather about banning or restricting the construction of mosques in the United States because of Islam's alleged connections to terrorism, now is a good time to examine exactly what the religion is and what its central tenets are.
A media furor has erupted over a "newly released" letter to Pope Paul VI that indicates he and the Vatican knew about child sexual abuse by priests almost 50 years ago.
News accounts report the 1963 letter was released by attorneys in California who represented sexual abuse victims in the Los Angeles Diocese. In fact, those same attorneys have previously released numerous damning documents that got little media attention until now.

Report suggests DB Schenker may leave U.S. market
June 27, 2011
Reports out of Europe are indicating that Deutsche Bahn is contemplating shuttering its United States-based DB Schenker Logistics business, a third-party logistics and trucking and airfreight services provider.
This was initially reported in the Financial Times Deutschland. The report stated that Deutsche Bahn management is considering restructuring Schenker's U.S. business but added a withdrawal is more possible. And it added that Schenker management was due to deliver a business update by mid July and Deutsche Bahn executives plan to take a decision on the future of its U.S. business by the end of the year, possibly as early as August.
A Transport Intelligence report said that unnamed sources within the company suggested that part or whole of its U.S. business could be closed or sold-off. This appeared to concern the domestic land and air freight business of the former Bax Global in 2006. TI added that documents which Financial Times Deutschland had claimed to have seen described a strategic review of the business carried out by an investment bank on behalf of DB Schenker which described the US business as too small and lacking in "pricing power".
DB Schenker officials did not reply to queries from LM at press time.
But the company did issue a statement, indicating that it is not leaving the U.S. and will continue to be a significant logistics player throughout all of the Americas, including the United States.
Company officials pointed out that DB Schenker's rankings in the U.S.-based international air and ocean freight operation are second and fourth, respectively, in the U.S. market, and its contract logistics and supply chain management business is fifth. The company's North American domestic operation is made up of a dedicated airplane network and a dense trucking network, handling 2,000 departures per day, with growth occurring at a double-digit pace, the company said.
Schenker added that its domestic air fleet, which represents ten percent of its U.S. business, has been hampered by the recession and increasing fuel costs.
"We have, and continue to work on adapting the aircraft network to the market conditions," says Heiner Murmann, CEO and President of Schenker Inc., in a statement. "In addition to the reduction of aircraft from 40 to the current 20 over the past several years, we are exploring ways to additionally adapt this part of the business to further address the market realities while continuing to serve our customers. We have a number of alternatives available including improving and restructuring the operation and/or partnering with other providers. We are currently studying the best option and will define the optimal path forward in the next two months."
An industry source that declined to be identified told LM that the BAX purchase "has always been problematic for DB and they might give up [in the U.S. air freight business]." The source added that Deutsche Bank has been bothered by defections and Joey Carnes, former advisor to the Board at Schenker Deutschland AG
and former BAX president and CEO, who now serves as chairman and CEO of MIQ Logistics, is now directly competing against Schenker and has "also raided DB Logistics ranks."

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
good item, but easily stainable material
well made, good color and skin feeling, but need a carefull use.
when it was delivered to me, already stain on the several spot
Would this be considered a shell?
Would this be considered a shell?
Yes, it could be. While it is not the most waterproof jacket out there, it will be able to repel a fair amount of water. Also, it's not super insulated so you could use it for warm spring days with just a light layer underneath.
