If you read the owner's manual, it tells you when to check the oil, which is a two minutes after you shut it down. The level should be at or slightly over the middle of the sight glass. Pretty simple and pretty consistentBare
We don't really see that many sprag clutches. Paint is better than it has ever been (new paint system), EFI is bullet proof as is the disc brake (pun intended). I agree about the oil level window. We have seen some battery leads as has been mentioned here. Lately they have been using a different battery. We used Exides for years and they were not a good battery. It was probably the single biggest cause of problems. About a year ago they switched to a battery made by FIEM from Italy. (made in China of course) and they have been much better. However you cannot beat an AGM battery. Stock non-oring chains are pretty weak, the o-ring ones are OK. I wish the front fender were a bit narrower in the middle on Classics. If the dealer installs them correctly they are not a problem but if they do not they scratch the fork covers. I am not thrilled with the snail type wheel adjusters. I do think they look cool though and in practice they are fine. While ideally nothing would ever go wrong when problems do occur they generally show up pretty quickly well within the warranty period.
I HATE THE SNAIL ADJUSTERS!!!!!! I was having issues and I have PAID to have my chain adjusted. Look that isn't easy for me to admit to because all of my bikes except my 1982 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim have been chain drive and I have never ever ever ever ever had issues adjusting a chain. NEVER!!!! Which goes back to those DAMNED snell cams chain adjusters. Sorry I just hate them. HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!
Ok so that is about it for me. Really nothing serious. So how about some of my favorite points because I don't like the feel of my post it so heavy with negativity when I don't mean for it to be.
I hate the whole oil level thing! I have been paying for my oil changes on the C5 Military since I got it and will continue until the warranty is up.
On the newest ones they have added another drain plug under the crankshaft.
At some point (not sure about VIN number) the baffled inside the UCE engine were changed to drain more oil. (about 500ml I think)

Weather wreaks havoc on Friday night football
Published: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 10:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 10:23 p.m.
Weather caused problems at high school football stadiums across Marion County on Friday night.
Photo Galleries
The start of all six local contests were delayed due to lightning. Start times were pushed back to anywhere between 8 and 8:30 p.m. One game, Forest at North Marion, was postponed until Saturday morning at 10.
It appeared the weather was letting up when lightning struck again around 8 p.m., meaning teams had to wait another 30 minutes before they could start.
Delays started with St. John, which was playing its first game since 2012. Those plans were put to rest early when the scheduled start time of 6 was moved to 9:30.
The other local games — Forest at North Marion, West Port at Dunnellon, Palatka at Vanguard, The Villages at Belleview and Montverde at Trinity Catholic — were continuously pushed back due to lightning strikes throughout the county.
At 8:21, Trinity Catholic and Montverde officially called its game. The game will not be made up. Neither team ever made it out to the field for warmups. The Celtics will play at Palatka next week.
At 8:41, Vanguard canceled its game with Palatka at Booster Stadium. The game will not be made up, meaning the Knights will open their season Friday night at North Marion.
At 8:57, the Forest-North Marion game was postponed.

The Art Of LouversWritten by on October 1, 2012 Contributors: Chuck Vranas Punching holes in hot rods
It's been said before but it's worth repeating, real hot rods have louvers. Those little raised slots are the perfect example of form following function.
From the earliest days of the automobile louvers have been used to vent hot air from the engine compartment and when hot rodders began making more heat under the hood the answer was more louvers. But there were other reasons to ventilate a rod's sheetmetal—in some cases it was to let air out, in others to let it in.
Along with their practical purpose, louvers also provide visual impact and consequently how they look is important—the arrangement, or layout, is critical to their appearance. We're not about to say there is a right and wrong way to do it, but rather provide food for thought. A case in point is the ventilated nose of Tom Medley's '40 Ford. The creator of Hot Rod's Stroker McGurk, former editor of Rod & Custom, and one of those responsible for the first R&C Street Rod Nationals in Peoria, Illinois, in 1970, he's been a hot rodder longer than most of us have been alive.
While so much of what is done to a hot rod is subjective, Medley's longevity gives him a unique, historical perspective on traditional techniques and his artist's sense of style also comes into play. Those elements certainly had an impact when Kent Fuller punched the hood of Medley's coupe. The duo agreed that when louvers are in a straight line on a tapered hood it gives the illusion that they come closer together in the rear, sort of like the vanishing point in a drawing. Their approach was to gradually spread the rows of louvers further apart toward the back of the hood. In addition, while the lines of louvers are angled, the back edges, or the openings of the louvers, are aligned and 90 degrees to the hood's centerline.
As most of our readers now know, Medley's coupe was heavily damaged in a fire that reduced the garage it was in to ashes. By all practical standards the '40 was a write-off, but lots of Medley's friends came to the rescue and Randy Clark of Hot Rods and Custom stuff pulled off what many thought was impractical, to say the least, and damn near impossible, to be brutally honest.
Every effort was made to reconstruct the coupe exactly as it had been, including the hood Medley was so proud of. Like most things there's more than one way to lay out louvers and what Medley and Fuller did, and Clark recreated, was complicated and time-consuming. We think the results certainly justify the effort.

A well-ventilated trunklid gives this Model A the competition coupe look. Notice how the ends of the rows have a slight arc; this often happens with a straight layout on a slightly curved panel.Louvers don't have to be for letting out hot air, they can be used as air scoops too, as demonstrated by the SO-CAL belly tank.Something simple like this mini bellypan and gas tank cover can be dressed up with a few rows of louvers.A little creativity can add a unique touch to a hot rod. Punching a patch panel then welding it in place is one way of louvering panels that won't fit in a press.The panel below this pickup's bed just goes to show a few louvers can add some hot rod detail to an otherwise overlooked area.Louvers can be found in a variety of shapes; these are noticeably rounded. The pinstriping accentuates their shape.Speaking of accentuating louvers, the polishing treatment on George Poteet's Moal-built pickup makes them easy to count. Note how the rows on the tailgate and lower panel are aligned.
The replacement hood is just about ready to be ventilated. Thanks to right coast hot rodder supreme, Billy Belmont, Medley found a mint spare hood some years ago. Although there was far-out paint on the outside, the inside was still in the original factory finish.An exact copy of the original louver pattern was laid out on the inside of the hood. To get louvers as far to the rear as they were, the hood's inside brace had to be removed. The C-clamps are attached to the stands that help support the hood and level it in the press.Reference lines for the front and sides of the die were made along with centerlines marks on the hood and the press. Note the alignment mark on the center of the die.A level was used to ensure the hood was flat on the machine, and then the C-clamps on the supports were then adjusted to keep it that way.This is where all the time to do a precise layout pays off. There will be no surprises when the job is done.

|Commissioners adopt budget
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Phillips County Commissioners adopted the 2011 County budget Dec. 14. The County mill levy has remained at 28.28 since 1992. The commissioners again adopted the mill levy of 28.28.
The County's assessed value has decreased $5,932,510 from $58,329,710 in 2009 to $52,397,200 in 2010. There was $358,300 of new construction in the County; however, there was a significant drop in the value of natural gas production. Overall property tax collection will decrease for the County by $167,771.
2009 and 2010 Mill Levies
General Fund
Road and Bridge Fund
Social Service Fund
Capital Expenditure Fund
General Fund budget was increased from $2,533,509 in 2010 to $2,597,036 in 2011. Changes in the 2011 budget include limited capital expenditure requests, a flat $28/month of additional pay per qualified employee, regular employee step increases and increased health care costs. Most other budget items remain stable.
The salary compensation plan put in place Jan. 1, 2000 will not be adjusted for cost of living in 2011.
Phillips County's health insurance increased eight percent overall. This climb is due to increasing health care costs. Approximately one-half of the increase is due to mandated benefit increases which were part of the new national health care plan that was adopted by Congress last year and went into effect in September.
The County picks up the lion's share of the increase, but employees also pay 20-35 percent of the premium, depending on their plan. Their costs increased proportionately.
The board reviewed a number of major capital outlay requests. They include a new car for the Sheriff's Department, new computers for the Courthouse offices, the Courthouse steps project, major equipment purchases for Road and Bridge, a new second sprayer pickup and equipment for a roll off service at the landfill.
The Sheriff's car and the Courthouse steps projects have been approved. Other requests are under review and still need final approval.
Road and Bridge budget went from $1,743,785 in 2010 to $1,750,111 in 2011. The increase in spending will only become a reality if the board decides to seek and is successful in obtaining major grants to help with purchase of new capital equipment.
Highway Users Tax Funds (HUTF) from federal and state gas taxes continue to be the major revenue for Road and Bridge. The estimated HUTF income for 2010 is $1,071,513, up $130,702 from 2010 projections. The mill levy for Road and Bridge will remain at 4.23 for 2011.
In 2010, the County Road and Bridge department again worked very little overtime, hired very limited part-time summer help and purchased a very limited amount of capital equipment, all in an effort to bring the Road and Bridge Fund balance back up.
Commissioners were able to complete the Phillips County Event Center project in 2010. Fundraising did fall short of costs by approximately $350,000. They put in place a $550,000, six-year lease-purchase agreement as the project ended to pay for the balance of the project.
2010-2012 pledges still coming in will pay for part of that agreement. The balance will come out of the Capital Expenditure Fund. Donors are still currently making contributions and will still receive the 28.5 percent tax credit.
Major project on tap for 2011 is the Homesteaders' "Yes, Everyone Can Play" playground and park improvement project. The County will be reapplying for a Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) grant this spring to fund this project.
Other County fund budgets include the Social Services Fund $679,772, which is a decrease of $95,784 from last year; Contingency Fund at $165,317; Conservation Trust (lottery funds) of $22,500; E911 Fund Budget of $108,500; and the Economic Development Fund with a budget of $22,500.
Capital Expenditure Fund has a budget of $2,801,000. A majority of that is a pass through grant from the Department of Energy for the NECO Wind Project south and west of Haxtun.
County Fair Fund has a 2011 budget of $97,050. The County will give $11,500 of tax funds toward that effort, which is the same amount given in 2010. The Fair Board utilizes ticket sales, contributions, income from stock car races and the current fund balance to fund the remaining amount.
While the county does maintain and improve the facilities at the fairgrounds, those funds are taken out of the General Fund allocation for fairgrounds improvement.
Phillips County will also continue to provide $4,000 toward the Haxtun Corn Festival.
Other business
Also in the month of December, Commissioners approved a modification to an existing Intergovernmental Agreement between Phillips County, Holyoke Ambulance Service and the Haxtun Ambulance Service due to the increasing costs of purchasing ambulances.
Each ambulance service has been donating $3,000 per year to an Ambulance Replacement Fund. The County has been donating $7,000 to that fund.
The three agreed to increase their annual contribution by $1,000. The ambulance services will be contributing $4,000 a year, and the County will increase to $8,000. The monies are then used to match state grants when County ambulances are replaced every three to four years.
The board approved an upgrade of the mapping software. The parcel maps have been converted and will soon be installed, allowing the County to utilize the mapping programs in a number of County departments.
Primary user will be the assessor's office which will maintain the maps. This information will then be available to the Communications Center, Road and Bridge, Weed District and Planning Department.
Commissioners received notice the State solid and hazardous waste program fees for landfill trash will be increasing as of April 1, 2011.
The current fees are $0.09 per vehicle which will move to $0.13; $0.17 per non-commercial vehicle which will move to $0.26; $0.27 per cubic yard which will move to $0.39; $0.90 per ton which will move to $1.30; $1.35 per 1,000 gallons which will move to $1.95; and $0.23 per ton of contaminated soil which will move to $0.29.
The board voted to begin passing those fees on to landfill customers as of April 1.
Purchase of a new 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4-wheel drive pickup from Korf Continental for Road and Bridge District 3 was approved at a price of $20,732. The unit is on order and should be delivered late January or early February.
In December, the board reviewed a number of natural gas drilling permits for Black Raven Energy issued by the State. Black Raven continues their ambitious drilling program, primarily in the northeast corner of Phillips County. They are also currently installing pipelines to service the new wells as they come on line.
Commissioners also approved adding an option to the County's retirement program. The new option will allow employees to invest their voluntary deferred retirement in a 457 Roth Deferred Compensation Plan if they desire. This will become available to employees after the first of the year. The County itself makes no contributions to this plan.

I have an old steel and glass setup that I like, but it is not wide enough for my current TV, though it is most definitely strong enough. I like the style of the setup in the pictures quite a bit, and hopefully the quality is there as well.

LANDOVER, Md. (ELFIN'S ENDZONE) -- Just when it looked like that the Redskins might have turned the corner on more than three years of incompetence, they delivered a double-whammy.
First came the reports before today's kickoff at FedEx Field that tight end Fred Davis and left tackle Trent Williams were going to be suspended for the remaining four games after failing a third drug test apiece.
Then came the game itself against the New York Jets, the AFC's runnerups the past two seasons but a team fighting to stay in the playoff chase.
As had been the case the previous Sunday at Seattle, Washington reached the end zone on its opening drive - thanks in part to a 42-yard catch and run by Davis - but then went into a near-offensive coma.
Still when Graham Gano booted a 46-yard field goal with 7:52 remaining, it looked like the Redskins might win two in a row for the first time since Weeks 1 and 2 and just the third time since October 2008.
But then, in the span of just 4:21, the Redskins showed again why they're the bumblers they have been since a 6-2 start under rookie coach Jim Zorn in 2008 followed on the heels of a 4-game run to the playoffs under Hall of Fame sideline boss Joe Gibbs in 2007.
After a short kickoff by Gano gave New York the ball at the Washington 49, cornerback Josh Wilson was beaten by Santonio Holmes for a 30-yard touchdown throw from Mark Sanchez. Three plays later, blocking tight end Logan Paulsen was beaten by Jets backup linebacker Aaron Maybin, who sacked and stripped Rex Grossman at the Washington 9-yard line. The Jets' Shonn Greene scored on the next play.
Now down by 11 points, the Redskins used a 41-yard kickoff return by Brandon Banks to jump-start a drive that ended in Gano's 43-yarder that cut the deficit to 27-19 with 1:59 still to play. However, not only did Washington fail to recover Gano's poor onside kick, the Jets wound up with the ball at the 25 after a 17-yard return and a penalty on the Redskins. Again, Greene scored on the next play.
And with that, in a week when its three NFC East rivals - Dallas, the New York Giants and Philadelphia - all lost, Washington failed to build on the momentum from the well-played overtime loss to the Cowboys and the subsequent come-from-behind victory over the Seahawks.
At 4-8, the Redskins have ensured a fourth straight non-winning season. And with Williams, who again didn't allow a sack on Sunday, and Davis, whose six catches for 99 yards led both teams, apparently absent the rest of the way, an offense already missing tight Chris Cooley, running back Tim Hightower and left guard Kory Lichtensteiger - all out for the year with knee injuries -- is in even deeper trouble.
Williams, the fourth overall pick in the 2010 draft, and Davis, whose contract is up after a career year that has seemingly ended thanks to his bonehead behavior, were unavailable for comment after the game. Coach Mike Shanahan, a noted disciplinarian who rid the Redskins of controversy magnets Clinton Portis, Albert Haynesworth and Donovan McNabb during the offseason, said he couldn't comment until there was official word from the NFL.
But co-captain Lorenzo Alexander was eloquent, as usual, on the topic.
"Guys have got to be accountable," said Alexander, one of just five Redskins in uniform on Sunday who have suited up in a playoff game for Washington. "We know the rules. It's a shame (if the reports are true). It's definitely going to hurt us if they miss the last four games."
Indeed, it's near-impossible to see the Redskins keeping up with the potent New England Patriots, who visit Landover next Sunday, or the Giants, who nearly ended Super Bowl champion Green Bay's undefeated season today and whom Washington visits on Dec. 18.
Losses in those games would give the Redskins a third straight double-digit loss season for just the second time in franchise history.
"Next year we need to see the young guys step up and we need the old guys to really take leadership," said safety Reed Doughty, one of the few Redskins with playoff experience in Washington.
It's always wait until next year for the Redskins.
WUSA-9's Redskins Insider, David Elfin, has covered sports since he was a junior at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in 1975. He is the Washington representative on the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee and is the author of five books on the Redskins including the new "Washington Redskins: The Complete Illustrated History."

"My philosophy is, 'what are we doing to make them better people in the long run?'" he says of his approach. "Maybe it's reinforcing that they should arrive on time, ready to engage in studying or practice."

Ah, Tinder – the location-based dating app that took the twenty-something social scene by storm this past year. If you haven't tried it, you're probably either A. married, or, B. let's just be honest: lying. The app's latest Tinderalla looking for love? None other than The Mindy Project's creator and star Mindy Kaling. Well, sort of.
In a genius marketing move, the FOX show created fake Tinder profiles for a number of its characters to promote a reported Tinder-themed episode airing in April. Now, before you get hung up on the whole "fake profile" thing, remember: The Mindy Project is on Tinder for the same reason you are – its just looking for a little swipe-right love. The only difference? It needs a ratings boost, not a confidence one.

Characteristics for Effective Writing Assignments
Here are some characteristics that you can implement in your course organization to help students produce effective writing assignments.
- Assignments are provided and explained in writing.
Announce your writing assignments in the course syllabus, and explain the weighting course writings will have in the calculation of course grades. But follow up the syllabus announcement by spelling out your particular aims for writing assignments in separate handouts for each assignment.
- Writing assignments are linked to significant course objectives.
Students will take integtrated writing assignments more seriously than those that seem merely supplementary.
- Notices of assignments specify the purpose for writing, the audience to be addressed, the mode or form of the writing, and its length.
Your rationale for the assignment will help to make the writing more meaningful for students. Your expectations for their performance can engage them early in self-assessment of their work. Models of the forms and modes of writing you expect can help students to work more efficiently. And your specifications of the length of the writing help students better plan their writing projects.
- Assessment criteria are specified.
How would you describe excellent student performance on your course writing assignment? How would you describe competent performance? Do you have a minimum standard below which papers would not be unacceptable?
- Due dates are specified.
- Longer writing projects are organized in stages.
Shorter writing assignments can be paced across the semester. They may be tailored to follow topical progression of course content or increase gradually in sophistication as students develop competence in the subject. Longer assignments can be organized so that elements of the writing project or multiple drafts are submitted for evaluation and feedback in manageable increments.

When trying to close the window, the window glass will drop a few inches after reaching the closed position.This can happen on any window that has the automatic closing feature.
The system that prevents you from being injured by the automatically closing windows is called the "pinch protection system" and this system needs to be reset, reprogrammed or is defective.
In your owners manual you will find instructions on how to reset this feature. If that doesn't work, you'll need a Saab repair shop or Dealership to check for a software update for the pinch protection system, or see if there is a defective part. Have the shop reference the Saab Technical Service Bulletin (TSB #831-2639)to help address this issue.

Iowa State Falls to TCU in Final Seconds, 61-60
More from Cyclones.tv
In the first half, it was Williamson who was hot from long range as the junior guard netted three 3-pointers to lead all scorers with nine points on 3-of-6 shooting.
Iowa State and TCU would stay neck-and-neck for much of the first half with ISU grabbing the largest lead of just six points. The Cyclones would also record five first-half takeaways and grab 14 points off turnovers to take a 28-23 halftime lead.
The Horned Frogs would battle back to take as much as a six-point lead with 14:50 left in the game, 40-36. From there the game went back and forth, featuring15 lead changes.
With 1:08 remaining and ISU down by one, Seanna Johnson netted a 3-pointer to put Iowa State up 58-56. Johnson would come to the rescue again as she netted two free throws on a 1-and-1 with just 17.7 seconds left on the clock to give ISU a 60-58 lead.
TCU took the ball at mid-court with 15.9 left on the clock and passed it around the perimeter before Breaux found an opening at the top of the key and bombed the game-winning 3-pointer.
Nikki Moody drove down the court and into the lane, but a jump ball was called between Moody and Chelsea Prince. TCU had the arrow and the ballgame with 0.3 seconds left.
Keys to the Game
Three-point shooting. Iowa State kept up with the Horned Frogs via some impressive shooting from beyond the arc.
Not wanting to intervene too much with the Big 12's leading blocker in TCU center Latricia Lovings, the Cyclones fired away from deep. ISU finished 11-of-13 from deep, led by Williamson's 6-of-13 shooting from deep.
TCU did not do much from deep, shooting 2-of-11 from 3-point range. However, Breaux made the shot that counted, allowing the Frogs to leave Ames with the victory.

Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
Brynn Williamson. The Cyclone junior left her shooting slump behind as she tied a career-high with six 3-pointers. Williamson would finish the night 6-of-14 from the field and 6-of-13 from downtown to pace the Cyclones. Tonight was the eighth game this season the St. Louis, Mo. native had netted three or more threes.

VIDEO: Rad WI11 in Helmcken Falls
Last winter, Klemen Premrl and Tim Emmett completed the first and second ascents (respectively) of Wolverine (WI11) in Helmcken Falls, British Columbia.
Wolverine is a steep-to-horizontal route that forces climbers to navigate fragile stalactites of spray ice. This is not the pair's first adventure new routing in Helmcken--they also sent Spray On... Top!, a 230 meter overhanging route with pitches as hard as WI9 and M9+, in Helmcken on February 6, 2012.

For You Patrick...
As many of you know, Patrick Woehnker died early this morning.
I cannot pretend I'm not shocked and stung by this news. I just cant believe it. I met him on his first day on campus...
It was on Freshman Saturday, and I was Patrick's Orientation Guide. I was suppose to introduce he and his freshmen tutorial class to Wabash. During those first couple of days, I liked him because he was funny and sarcastic... he made me laugh. I took them to do a community service project, and I guess I was cracking the whip on the freshmen. I made sure they were always doing something whether it was painting or picking up the trash. Patrick made sure to criticize me... He made it clear that he thought I was not working hard enough. He tried pushing his paint brush in my hand a couple of times. He really made me laugh.
I cant say I saw him frequently after Freshmen Orientation, but he did come to Beta for a couple of parties. He was here last weekend. It blows me away because I didn't even speak to him. I saw him, but I just didn't get a chance to ask how he was enjoying his freshmen year. I never got to see how he liked his Freshmen Tutorial. I never even got to ask if he enjoyed Wabash after these first 3 months. I hope he liked his time here.
It saddens me so much because he was a normal kid. Who really thinks this could happen to just a regular kid. A kid you may bump into on the mall. A kid you may bump into at a party. A kid you may sit next to in class. Whoever thinks that death can be so close to you.
I'm not sure about the circumstances of his death, but all I know is that he was just like me. Sarcastic. Goofy. And not too sure what he wants to major in.
So, Patrick, I write this for you. I know your family, pledge class, and friends on campus are mourning and missing you right now. I pray you may be at peace. 1

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Less than a month to go until your taxes are due. If you plan to use certain types of deductions, you could be putting yourself at a great risk of getting audited. Audits aren't really as common as you'd think. In 2010 and 2011, Marketwatch reports that the IRS examined 1 percent of all individual tax returns. But you raise your odds if you report certain types of income, deduction amounts and personal changes.
Here are some examples:
- Large amounts of income not subject to tax withholding
- Large deductions for charitable contributions, casualty losses, home office expenses, and travel and entertainment expenses.
- If you indicate a change of address when not reporting a sale of your residence and not changing your home-related deductions.
The tax man assigns numerical values to certain characteristics found on your tax return. More potential red flags than the average taxpayer could doom you to a date with an auditor. The exact list of red flags through is considered top secret.

I need to export a lot of Zimbra Emails, Calendars and Contacts before I leave my job.
I'm told I'm able to keep these Emails for continued consulting yet I need to add them to my own Email provider.
So basically I need to archive the Emails, Calendars and Contacts now and then import them into another Email provider such as Gmail.
I will not have the option of IMAPing data from Zimbra to another provider.
How compatible are the exported Zimbra files?
Thanks for any assistance.

Despite some labour shortage issues the Township 7 Vineyards in Langley, BC are beginning to to show well and I think we've just about caught up to where we want to be.
A lot of the older vines (seven years plus in very vigorous soils) need some significant pruning to shed some old wood that was beginning to be more of a problems than a benefit. So the vineyard is a little more streamlined now and as a result, I think we're going to have a healthier environment for this year's crop. There may be a little less but, if we can keep the mold and mildew at bay, it should be easier to get ripe.
Check out the video posting to enjoy some of the wacky weather the are is enjoying this weekend. It's been a very slow start to the growing season in Langley and in the Okanagan valley.
While I was in Langley I had the opportunity to enjoy a meal at Coza! Tuscan Grill. (They like to add an exclamation point. That will be the last time for me.) The interior is warm and inviting with subdued lighting and jazzy canned music. I was immediately greeted by smiling hostess (Caitlin?) and shown to my seat. Being solo, I sat at the bar and enjoyed the Calgary/Sharks game on a big screen while sipping a well-deserved ale in a frosty sleeve.
I started with the carpaccio. It was one of the best I'd had in some time. The house drizzle across the paper thin beef was a perfect combination. I liked the added garnish which was almost a mini-salad with fresh tomato and a caper berry.
Hard-working men who work long days in the field are entitled to substantial and flavourful food so I rewarded myself with the sirloin treated with gorgonzola butter. The mains come with a choice of pasta or potato so I opted for the Tuscan mashed potatoes. My cut was cooked perfectly to order and everything on the plate was beautifully accomplished. With my bistecca, I ordered a three wine sampler. I had about 50 ml. each of three reds. After some deliberation I decided the Rosemount Grenache-Shiraz blend had enough acidity to provide the kind of counterpoint I think the rich meat dish required.
I'd recommend Coza! if your're looking to break out of the chain store rut and would like some great food, attentive service and an overall welcoming environment. Now that I've scouted it out by myself, I'm ready to return with a group.
I'm your source for winery development consultation.
While talking to people about the wines I make and the wines coming out of the Okanagan Valley and BC the conversation inevitably turns to availability. People want to know where they can get our wine so they can enjoy it at home with their friends and family.
Township 7 has pretty good distribution around the Lower Mainland and we're working at spreading the love to Vancouver Island and other areas in the province. Some of the other wineries I'm familiar with are in most areas of B.C.
But it's getting tougher for new wineries and new labels to get onto the store shelves. Why is that?
I was out and about last week in Vancouver and realized that an old practice was becoming more and more prevalent. Individuals and businesses are being paid to stock certain brands. On the flipside, some restaurants and shops are demanding a certain fee to carry a line.
I'm not naive; this isn't news. It's always been the case. There has always been somebody who was willing to add a few bottles to an order or make some other little gesture to secure a spot on the shelf or a choice restaurant listing.
It was always there in the shadows. But now it's not so backroom. It's unofficial policy for some.
The result is that big producers are dominating stock lists like never before. A few multi-label houses are calling the shots; allowing smaller independents to take a few slots here and there.
Established small wineries should be able to maintain their foothold. But I wouldn't want to be a new brand going into this market. There are some big sharks on the prowl and blood in the water.
But that's business. Nobody said it would be easy to establish a brand. So who loses out besides the small, new winery? Probably only the consumer. If a big house decides that saucy import Green Appendage must be on every wine list then that is what the consumer will see. And they've got the muscle to make it happen. So everyone drinks Green Appendage and misses out on one of the small guys.
The upshot is: look for lists that are less diverse that carry fewer small, independent producers. These are the houses dominated by the big players. Solution: know who owns the brands and avoid "owned" establishments. Support restaurants and shops that demonstrate balance and fairness.
Or don't because you just don't care.

I've had the opportunity to join a fledgling group of wine people who are congregating at OpenWine Consortium. It's a group of wine types dedicated to spreading the good word through the world of rapidly developing technology.
If it sounds a little dry, fogedaboutit! It's a vibrant, global community still in it's infancy and is still being shaped by new membership.
So far it seems like an ideal environment where wine makers, winery owners, web developers, marketers, retailers and others connected to wine can meet to brainstorm and discuss various aspects of the business and discover how technology can serve the cause.
Along the way you'll meet some interesting people with a common interest and, in some cases, a common destination.
I urge everyone in the wine business to at least give it a look, especially those of you in the BC industry. It will help alleviate that "outpost on the edge of the world" feeling you may sometime experience in this industry. If you do register, please join the Pacific Northwest group to further define your origins.

The biggest wine festival in North America is now well under way at this point and will continue through the weekend. I'm popping in on Friday afternoon for trade day to see some old faces and taste some new wines.
Each year the festival pooh-bahs select a region and a wine as the thematic influences. This year the country is Italy and the wine is bubble.
Next year is what I'm interested in:
Our own little old British Columbia will be featured as the region and Pinot Noir will be the wine.
As a result, my main squeeze Township 7 will be in attendance and I'll be there to press the flesh and dispense the stuff. So mark your electronic calendar devices now! March 23 -29, 2009.

Every once in awhile something amusing happens on this internets thing.
Some photos I took of Gewurztraminer out in the vineyard here are now appearing on a San Pellegrino website. My people were contacted by their people and requests were made and permissions were granted. No lunch invite yet, though.
I check this morning and I was able to scroll through a few dozen nice photos accompanying a story about the Italian "traminer" version of the Gew.
Just checked again and had some trouble accessing the story properly but you may have better luck.

There's always new staff to train in a growing organization. It helps to have a manual or training book with wine and vineyard terms explained from your company's viewpoint.
A little humour always helps.
Here's an excerpt:
Naturally-occurring or commercially prepared yeast (a genus in the kingdom of fungi) strains (usually Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Saccharomyces bayanus) prefer sugar (complex carbohydrates) to complete their life cycle. The by-products of their activity include alcohol and carbon dioxide. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is also used in the production of ale and stout. Another yeast, Saccharomyces pastorianus, is used for lager. Molson Canadian is a lager. If you notice, pastorianus has the word "anus" embedded in it which explains why Molson Canadian tastes like ass.
Malolactic Fermentation
Primarily used for red wine and Chardonnay, the ML fermentation is a bacterial infection that takes malic acid and converts it to a form of lactic acid. Human taste receptors perceive malic acid as sharp and tangy (think Granny Smith apples) while lactic acid, prominent in dairy products, is softer and 'creamy'. In conjunction with other factors present, a wine that has gone through ML and barrel aging will be considered to be smoother and more complex. Aroma is also altered. Descriptors can include: corn, cream corn, banana, popcorn, caramel, butter, cheese. ML in white wine (Chardonnay) has been on the decrease in recent years.
They get their name from the tanning of animal hides. This was done by using an acidic solution sourced traditionally from oak bark that stopped the decomposition of the hides. Tannins in wine are complex astringent polyphenols that help stop the decomposition of the wine. Tannins are sourced from the grape skins, grape seeds and the wood of the barrel. Care must be taken to not extract too much tannin during production, especially from the seeds which can supply particularly harsh tannins. Tannins combine with substances in wine such as proteins and other macromolecules to form strong and heavy complexes that often precipitate and are seen as sediments in aged wines. The best way to describe the effect of tannin in wine is to have the subject drink from a cup of cold, strong tea. Tea contains a lot of tannin and there are few other flavours to confuse the palate. The effect will be a 'furry' tongue sensation. The tea should be sipped with the cup handle grasped between the thumb and the forefinger and the pinkie finger raised.

I have two computers (PC1 & PC2) (same user) both running Win 7 SP1, Office 2010 SP1 and Zimbra Outlook connector 7.13. The Zimbra data files are stored on the users home network drive F:\Zimbra (on a SLES 11 SP1, Samba 3.5.6 server)
I can open outlook on PC1 fine. If I open outlook on PC2 then an error comes up upon 'Loading Profiles'
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: OUTLOOK.EXE
Application Version: 14.0.6109.5005
Application Timestamp: 4e79b881

OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48

If outlook is closed on PC1 then I can open outlook on PC2.
This use to work when Zimbra OC was first installed with both PCs open by the same user at the same time, then stopped with the above error on the second PC to open outlook after 1 month of use.
So, what may be th issue.
1. Does ZOC lock the zdb files? If so can this be relaxed or set to not exclusive? Only lock on updating the zdb?
2. Can this be done (same user on two PCs)?
3. Is this a MS mapi issue?
any suggestions/solutions.

Awesome images from space
The huge, high-tech Dark Energy Camera is photographing galaxies 8 billion light-years away. NASA's spacecraft Dawn is heading toward a dwarf planet. And the legendary twin Voyager crafts are pushing the boundaries of the solar system. Space, it seems, is a lively place. Here are photos from the far reaches of space, plus Mickey Mouse on Mercury.

The colors came out stronger than what I was actually observing (?), something Norme also experienced in one of his previous sketches. The NPC was pretty bland but showed a slight hint of blue. The NEB, NTZ and NTB displayed interesting colors. The NTB was a dark brownish color and was well defined. The NTZ was a yellowish tan color which blended into the NEB as orange, progressing into a dark maroon brown color. The SEB was equally interesting in that the color in front of the GRS was very dark brown, with lighter color toward the limb and light oval areas. The wake trailing the GRS was not as big as I have previously observed it, but the turbulence was definitely a blue color with light spots everywhere within. The SEB trailing the GRS was a light bluish grey color, starkly contrasting the colors of the leading part of the belt.
What a surprise the GRS was, displaying a pink hue that darkened toward the center. I haven't seen such color this apparition. I guess it's the STB that I was observing being pulled into the GRS. It was very prominent trailing the GRS, but almost imperceptible leading it. The color was a darkish grey. At the South end the cap was a light grey with hints of blue, and included very faint lighter streaks. There was a dark streak prominent that I believe is probably the South Temperate Temperate Belt (?) - I'm a lot newer at this than most of you, so I'm not sure about this one. Finally, I'm starting to see more pronounced shading in the limb (left side of sketch) now that Jupiter is past opposition. I noticed the same thing last year when observing Mars.
The hour or so that I was outside turned out pretty well and I was thrilled that I was able to see so much color in Jupiter last night.
Thanks for reading the post and looking at my sketch.
Happy new year to all,
Ed D


text: Conversations with five of Hollywood's top money managers revealed a cult following for Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). These stocks generate strong yields and cash flow, and like real estate investment trusts, pay no taxes. Hence, they have more to share with investors, and payouts are more lightly taxed. They're certainly more than one-hit wonders. The Alerian MLP Index's returns beat the S&P 500's on a 1-year, 3-year-, 5-year and 10-year basis. Alan Goldman, a Los Angeles business manager with a star-studded rolodex and client roster, says he's often left talking his crew out of pitches on the next trendy restaurant, instead advising more consistent investments, like MLPs. "We find that they need to be more conservative than Joe Average." Goldman sighs. "The restaurants are very, very popular with entertainers. We look at something like a restaurant and just assume that the money is gone."

Can you be more specific? Some folks have a ton of equipment. Is there a particular piece you are interested in?
Can you be more specific? Some folks have a ton of equipment. Is there a particular piece you are interested in?
No I am curious because I plan on going on a diy back
country hunt, hopefully next year. While I have alot of things I feel I will need, just wondering if people get the best items they can or make what they have work. IE gas stoves ,tents,sleepingbags. Ontothe things you actually use to hunt, gun, bow,scope, binoculars.
I have a bunch of gear, most i have purchased slightly used on ebay and craiglist and gargae sales. The only new thing i bought was a 0' degree sleeping bag because i don't like mummys style bags.
If your patient, u can get what you need for 1/2 off or better
I did buy a new range finder ...forgot about that ...leica 1600crf...but it was on sale....
I get the best that I can. Nothing is worse than packing junk up a hill and not having it work. If it is serviceable and reliable then your just looking at trades off such as ease or weight. Weight usually wins out in the end if its a tie. One thing, don't skimp on Glass like your Binocs, scope or spotting scope. Scrimp, save, sell other guns, but get the best glass that's out there. I prefer Leupold, it's never ever let me down and the warranty is great but to each their own.
Ok, one note on my tent. I paid $16 for it on sale, it is a cheap dome style tent that only weighs a couple pounds! It is as light as some of the much more expensive tents, it works very well and does everything it needs to do. The reason I went with it is because I was noticing how much abuse my kids' play tents were getting and how well it held up, they were practically indestructible! I thought about it and went with it and haven't regretted it yet.
I pick up quite a bit of stuff on Craigslist. There was a brand new sleeping pad for sale for $20 the other day that is $90 at REI. Today I picked up a tripod for $15 that is $46 at Amazon.com. So you can find some deals here, put in a want ad.
Also, after I get back I take inventory and if there is anything that I didn't use I consider leaving it home next time. After awhile you won't have to do this, you will just "know" but when I go out with other people it amazes me some of the things that they think they need.
If what you have works then you don't need to buy anything unless the latest convenience is a major priority to you. Some new products are well worth it while others bring the old saying, "they just don't make em' like they used to", to mind.
I'm using a modern muzzleloader this year. Normally, my gun is from the early 50's, clothing from the 50's, Buck knife for the 70's. No need for binos or range finders. I guess I don't use the latest equipment, but it can't be called junk either if it's lasted this long.
I'm not much of a backpack hunter anymore as I am over 70 now. But I do a lot of hiking when I hunt. I use a small daypack (brand don't really matter IMHO, just so its comfortable and will hold what you take). I also use a surplus GI web belt & canteen with the issue suspenders. Been using it for years and I really like it. Got rid of 2 pieces of optics (binos & rangefinder) and replaced it with one...a Sworo combo. It has really been great for the last 2 years and makes a lot of sense as I am a rifle hunter and don't need the special RF made for bow hunters. I carry a number of safety items...a few light sticks, floro red tape, SPOT,small butane cig lighter, spare pair of sox, rain gear, rope, space blanket, spare set of contact lenses and Rx glasses and some energy bars. Notice I left out a compass...my watch has one builtin. I also carry one of the new Bushnell GPS return instruments (can't remember the name right now) which really is simple and helps you navigate back to anywhere you set into it) Pretty cheap too@ around $50.
Thats about it for safety stuff. I also carry a small folding saw, knife sharpener and a spare larger knife. Everything alltogether probably weighs less than 20#.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Ilya Kovalchuk and Andrei Loktionov scored
less than 2 1/2 minutes apart in the third period to rally the New Jersey
Devils to a 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals at Verizon Center.
Patrik Elias added a shorthanded goal while assisting on Kovalchuk's game-
winner to help the Devils halt a two-game skid. Martin Brodeur made 17 saves
in the victory.
The Capitals were dealt a second straight defeat following a season-high
three-game win streak despite a 34-save effort from Braden Holtby. Mathieu
Perrault and Mike Ribeiro potted power-play goals in the setback, with Troy
Brouwer assisting on both markers.

CLASSIC GAME: Ravens stun Broncos in double overtime
'AN ABSOLUTE MESS': Ex-Jets coach rips team's handling of Tebow
The elder Tebow, a 28-year-old ministry leader based in Colorado, went on Twitter right after the game to share some good news that his local congregation might not have been as eager to receive.
Via @petertebow:
"Am I the only one in Denver who's happy right now?"
While Tebow stopped short of pointing out that yes, his brother did happen to win a playoff game in overtime as a member of the Broncos last season while Peyton Manning failed in his quest to do so, he clearly relished the moment, retweeting another Tim Tebow fan's quote of "That's karma, Elway!"

BUFORD, Ga. -- One man is dead after an officer-involved shooting in Gwinnett County Tuesday evening.
The incident happened shortly after 8 p.m. at the Alexander North apartment complex on North Alexander Street in Buford.
Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Jake Smith said police found five or six people smoking marijuana outside the apartments.
The investigators began to frisk the suspects when one of them, 20-year-old Jose Antonio Hernandez-Gonzalez, pulled out a gun and held it to his head, Smith said.
The officers asked Hernandez-Gonzalez to drop the gun; when he didn't, they unsuccessfully shot him with a Taser.
Smith said Hernandez-Gonzalez then pointed his gun at the officers, who fired at him, killing him.
Nobody else was hurt. Smith said the three officers who shot at Hernandez-Gonzalez were placed on routine administrative leave.

(Sports Network) - The Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't end their series losing
streak to the Chicago Bulls back in early November with their backcourt
Now the Cavs face the possibility of being without both of their starting
guards on Wednesday night in a rematch with the division-rival Bulls.
Cleveland dropped its ninth game in a row against Chicago back on Nov. 2,
falling 115-86 at home. The Cavaliers haven't beaten the Bulls since March 19,
2010 in Chicago and have lost five straight at home to the club over the skid.
Starting point guard Kyrie Irving led Cleveland with 15 points and Dion
Waiters added seven points, but the Cavs could be without both tonight. Irving
is out with a broken left index finger, while Waiters is questionable with a
sprained left ankle suffered on Saturday in a double-overtime loss versus
Waiters did not play in Monday's 89-79 setback to the Detroit Pistons, with
Alonzo Gee and Jeremy Pargo getting the start in the backcourt. Waiters did
not practice on Tuesday and is once again questionable for tonight.
That could spell trouble for Cleveland, which has been beaten by more than 20
points in each of its past four meetings with Chicago.
"It's terrifying to think about playing the Bulls without Kyrie and (Waiters),
yeah," Cavs head coach Byron Scott said following practice on Tuesday. "But
everybody laces them up the same way and you've got to come out there and
compete no matter who's on the floor. That's the bottom line."
Anderson Varejao had 17 points and 18 rebounds in Monday's loss, logging a
double-double in a career-best ninth game in a row. Nine of his boards were
offensive and he is the first Cleveland player to log nine straight double-
doubles since Geoff Huston from Jan. 27-Feb. 13, 1982.
Pargo added 10 points and a career high-tying eight assists for a Cleveland
squad that hit just 7-of-28 shots in the first quarter and then its final
three shots of the game after getting to within six with 1:54 to play.
"Overall, I thought our guys competed. We played hard," Scott said. "We
obviously couldn't score enough points, but defensively I thought we did a
heck of a job."
Pargo is averaging 15.1 points and 4.8 assists per contest in eight games as a
starter this season, while Gee and Varejao both had 12 points in the earlier
loss this season to the Bulls.
Chicago plays for a second night in a row and fell 80-76 to the visiting
Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. The loss denied the Bulls their first three-game
winning streak of the season and gave them a split of a four-game homestand.
The Bulls are also thin at guard. Derrick Rose has yet to play this season due
to left knee surgery and Richard Hamilton is out with a left foot ailment
sustained against Philadelphia on Saturday. Marco Belinelli got the start in
place of Hamilton Tuesday night and had six points in 24 minutes.
Nate Robinson came off the bench and led the club with 19 points, while Luol
Deng had 17 and seven rebounds. Deng's jumper had the Bulls up four in the
fourth quarter, but Indiana went on a 10-2 run over the final 3 1/2 minutes.
"I don't think we played well," Deng said bluntly.
Carlos Boozer had 14 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. He is averaging 15.6
points and 11.3 rebounds per game over his last nine with seven double-doubles
in that span.
Boozer and Hamilton both had 19 points in the earlier win over the Cavs.

According to Garfield School District Re-2 officials, hundreds of students from kindergarten through middle school who qualify for the free/reduced lunch program at their school, come to school hungry after every weekend at home.
For many of these kids, the breakfast and lunch they receive at school are the only real meals they get.
Hard to believe this happens in Rifle? It does. Just ask a teacher. Kids are so hungry that they are lethargic, have stomach pains and can't concentrate when they come to school on Monday morning. This year, with the four-day school week, kids will be without adequate food for a three-day weekend every week, which exacerbates the problem.
Reach-Out Colorado Inc. (The ROC), in conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Food Bank and generous Rifle community members, are working together to try to remedy this crisis. Volunteers are needed each week to help unload food into a food bank in south Rifle, and then to pack hundreds of "totes" (plastic grocery bags) with nine to 11 pounds of nonperishable food to deliver to school counselors on Thursday mornings for distribution to students.
Come to the Volunteer Fair at the Rifle Library on Tuesday, Sept. 11, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to learn more about this and other volunteer opportunities.
For more information, or to volunteer, contact Kim Regan at (303) 815-5194. For information about The ROC, call 309-0384, go online to www.reach-out-colorado.org, or send an email to email@example.com.
This problem can be solved if we all get behind it. There should be no hungry children, or families, in our community. Let's work together to help each other.
Dave Bottroff
director, The ROC
I'd like to respond to a letter written by Mr. Carl McWilliams in the Post Independent on Thursday, Aug. 30.
Our nation's economic success starts with strong local economies that emphasize diversity and sustainability in their overall plan. As the global markets shift into new areas of consumer needs and demands, it takes vision, a strong sense of collective ethic, collaboration, and courage to seize new opportunities, instead of clinging to past successes.
I am running for commissioner because our county is moving in the wrong direction. I want to bring my skill sets and experience - used to improve Rifle's economic success, quality of life and outdoor spaces - to the larger stage of county government.
Building a robust and sustainable economy in Garfield County can't be done alone. Systems, like the economy and environment, function better when they're diverse. Solutions are found when all voices are valued and represented in the process of creating comprehensive policy.
I have four goals as county commissioner: 1) Inventory and support existing businesses and municipalities to leverage sustainable growth opportunities and attract quality employers to diversify the county's tax base, improve revenues, and buffer boom-bust cycles; 2) Include the health and welfare of residents and the environment in the equation of a robust economy; 3) Engage in county governance with transparency and accountability to all residents; 4) Create policies based on solid vision and critical thinking that empowers qualified managers to implement day-to-day functions, manage staff, and serve the public.
Building community starts with respecting all voices. We can achieve together what we can't do alone. Please visit my website, Briedis2012.com, to get more info and connect with me directly.

Garfield County Commissioner Candidate
This Saturday, Sept. 8, is International Literacy Day. Founded in 1967 by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, this day focuses attention on the need to promote worldwide literacy.
Students at Literacy Outreach, along with 30 million other Americans, struggle daily with the painstaking task of deciphering simple, yet distressingly important, messages. UNESCO estimates that nearly 800 million people - one-fifth of the world's adult population - do not know how to read or write. Women make up two-thirds of this number.
Literacy is the ability to read, write, compute and use technology at a level that enables someone to reach their full potential as a parent, employee and community member.
There is a correlation between a low literacy rate and a low paycheck. Just 35 percent of individuals with below basic skills are employed full time, while 64 percent in the proficient category have full-time jobs. Minimum wage workers increased wages by 18 to 25 percent within 18 months of completing an adult education program.
With everyone's help, we can teach local adults to read product and employee manuals, pill bottles, warning labels, job applications, ballots, school reports and their own children's notes. To volunteer, please visit www.literacyoutreach.org for upcoming tutor training dates. Along with guided instruction, our volunteers help adults overcome the shame and fear that accompanies functional illiteracy.
These struggling spouses, parents and employees live and pay taxes with us in Garfield County. The more successful they become, the less stress they create on social services, law enforcement, schools, their families, all of us. We all benefit from a literate community.
If you can read this, you can help.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. 2-12-13
Habitat For Humanity and former FSU running back Warrick Dunn teamed up to help one family put a roof over their heads.
Fighting back tears, Bridgette Joseph received the keys to her new home on Tuesday from former Seminole Warrick Dunn.
"I never expected this," said Joseph. "This is a wonderful blessing for me and my family and I'm just very thankful."
Habitat For Humanity built the $90,000 home that includes rooms for all three of her children, Dante, DaVonte and Daija.
To truly give them a fresh start of home ownership," said Dunn. "I think for me I can relate to it. I understand it.
Through Dunn's charities, the new home was furnished with everything a family needs including a stocked pantry.
"It's like a fairy tale like I'm in dream land cause you know, I never expected it, never imagined it," Joseph added. "I mean they thought about every single thing."
Dunn also donated $5,000 as a down payment on the home for Joseph and her family.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Was Brandi's "Shut the F–k Up" Out of Line in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 3, Episode 5?
What happens in Ojai sometimes gets brought up again in the limo on the way home. In Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 3, Episode 5, "Girls Gone Ojai'd," Adrienne Maloof and Brandi Glanville continued their fight from the previous episode.
As Brandi and Kim Richards shared their first tender moment ever, the latter got a little teary. "Uh-oh. Somebody's crying," Adrienne said in front of the rest of the ladies at dinner. Brandi didn't appreciate the way Ms. Maloof called attention to Kim, and let her know: "Shut the f**k up," Brandi told Adrienne.
This command didn't sit well with the other Housewives, who thought Brandi was being her foul-mouthed self. While they managed to put their differences aside the next day, Kyle Richards brought up the incident during the drive home, and it was clear Brandi and Adrienne's problems run deeper than an eff bomb.
Did you agree with the ladies?
Love Brandi!
Love Adrienne!

Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - South Carolina proved on Tuesday that two
quarterbacks are better than one.
Starter Connor Shaw threw for 224 yards and pair of scores, while backup Dylan
Thompson also tossed two touchdown passes, including a 32-yarder with 11
seconds remaining to send the 11th-ranked Gamecocks to a 33-28 victory over
No. 19 Michigan in the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium.
Shaw completed 18-of-26 passes and also rushed for 96 yards on 11 carries, but
the junior quarterback was injured during South Carolina's go-ahead drive late
in the fourth quarter. Thompson carried the Gamecocks from there, completing
back-to-back passes before spiking the ball at the Michigan 32 to stop the
clock with less than 20 seconds left and his team trailing by one.
The sophomore signal-caller then found Bruce Ellington streaking down the seam
for a 32-yard touchdown to give the Gamecocks a decisive five-point edge.
Thompson finished 7-of-9 for 117 yards and two scores, while Ace Sanders
hauled in nine passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns and also returned a punt
63 yards for a score to help South Carolina (11-2) earn back-to-back bowl
victories and notch its second consecutive 11-win season.
Devin Gardner connected on 18-of-35 passes for 214 yards with three touchdowns
and one interception for the Wolverines (8-5), who fell to 20-22 all-time in
bowl games.
Denard Robinson, playing his final game in the maize and blue, carried the
ball 23 times for 100 yards, while Jeremy Gallon finished with nine catches
for 145 yards and two scores in the setback.

Your lettering is so beautiful and looks so effortless! (I'm sure it's not, but it looks that way!) Love your shop.
I love this so much!
The lettering is beautiful. (I know that this isn't the artist flaw) however, I'm disappointed at the quality. Whoever handling my prints did not do a good job on trimming the paper. It was crooked. And (s)he shouldn't leave pencil mark on the prints side. For someone who work in graphic industry should of know not to leave mark on the right side ;) Then the corner got folded during the packaging process.
lovely words lovely typography!
I absolutely Love this!
