Round one went to the Haxtun Fighting Bulldogs after a 73-58 win over the Holyoke Dragons Friday night, Nov. 30 in Holyoke. The cross-county rivalry has been dubbed the Phillips County Shootout and the second round will be held in February.
Dragon coach Scott Dille said he was somewhat pleased with the way the team hit the floor last week but definitely had a little higher expectation for the team.
"I really like the group and I like what they can do," Dille said.
Looking back, Dille said he has three players with some level of varsity experience. Logan Tharp, Deyten Klein and Tito Fierro have each dipped their feet into varsity action. Ten players saw the court last Friday and seven of those had not really ever been thrown into the thrust of a varsity game.
In addition, Holyoke had four other players not suited up due to various injuries. In addition to Trevor Dalton, likely varsity players Logan Zeiler, Tanner Smith and Daniel Bencomo were all forced to sit last week.
Dille hopes having this week off will give a few of those guys time to rest and prepare for a busy upcoming week.
The Dragons are scheduled to travel to Yuma Tuesday, Dec. 11, host Brush Friday, Dec. 14 and travel to Sedgwick County Saturday, Dec. 15. Following those three games, the team will break for the Christmas holiday.
Haxtun jumped out to an early 17-13 lead last Friday after the opening quarter. The Dragons held strong and kept the deficit at four at the half as both teams scored 12 in the second.
The third quarter proved to be the deciding period as the Bulldogs outscored Holyoke 24-13 to take a commanding 53-38 lead into the final stanza.
Both teams hung 20 on the board in the final quarter which gave Haxtun the 73-58 victory.
"We had to play a certain way just because of the size and the kids we have," the coach said. "We've got to force turnovers, we've got to shoot free throws and we need to attempt more shots than the other team."
Dille said they did all of those but they need to do them better. The Dragons finished 13-29 from the charity stripe. A lot of their shots also came up short and Dille attributes that to tired legs and not quite being in game shape yet.
"In hindsight, I'm happier than I was right away," Dille said. "I like this group a lot and I know how hard they work and I want them to do well."
Something the team is going to work on moving forward is limiting the amount of second shots they give teams. Haxtun's size let them dominate the offensive boards last Friday night.
"Big teams are always going to be a struggle for us so we've really got to work a little bit smarter on the defensive end," the coach said.
Dille said he thought Wyatt Powell and Ryan Parker did an admirable job down low. He believes they will progress as the season moves forward. "It's hard to simulate that in practice because we don't have a 6'8" 250-pound guy to throw in there or whatever."
Dille also said Haxtun did a good job of rotating their bigs to keep them fresh throughout the game.
Tharp led the Dragons with 23 points. Fierro also finished in double digits with 16.

James WanFilmmaker
Born: 26 February 1977
Birthplace: Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia
Best known as: The director of the horror film Saw
James Wan is the film director behind the horror series Saw. Born in Malaysia and raised in Australia, he studied film at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, where he met his screenwriting partner, Leigh Whaddell. Together they put together a sample of Saw and went to Los Angeles to find backing. A successful screening at the Sundance Film Festival led to a distribution deal in 2004, and the $700,000 movie made more than $18 million its first weekend. It spawned six sequels, leading a wave of grisly and gory horror movies at the box office. Wan, meanwhile, turned to other pursuits, including the less-gory horror films Dead Silence (2007), Insidious (2010) and The Conjuring (2013, starring Vera Farmiga), as well as the crime thriller Death Sentence (2007, starring Kevin Bacon).

Memorial Day 2012
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Courthouse lawn is being prepped for 1,160 flags to be placed on Memorial Day morning. Veteran and Legion Member Tom Baack says the flags represent deceased Veterans from Germany to Le Mars and many places in between.
Monday's Memorial Day activities begin with the parade of Patriotism stepping off at 9:30 downtown near Bike Central. The parade then leads to the Plymouth County Courthouse where a ceremony honoring our veterans is held. 20 new flags are being added this year and all names who are represented by a flag will be read. Tom Baack says that's what makes the Memorial Day Avenue of the Flags Program so important.
Listen here
Another portion of the program will honor Staff Sergeant James A. Justice, an Iowa man who fell during the call of duty in April of 2011.
Listen here
A flyover is also expected between 10:18 and 10:23am on Monday.
Tom has been the chair of the Memorial Day program committee since 1994. He says that as this program gets bigger the concern isn't finding a place for all the flags, it's finding people to help set up. Volunteers are still needed Monday morning at 6am to to place all 1,160 flags.
Also throughout the weekend, Baack says that volunteers with Wasmer Post #241 of the American Legion Le Mars, including the legion riders, are going to cemeteries placing flags on the graves of soldiers who have passed.

1955 Dodge Pickup - Left For DeadWritten by on March 1, 2006 Contributors: Damon Lee Frank Cortez's Captivating Custom Cab
You know the old adage about one man's trash, right? Well, sometimes it's a long road to go down before someone turns his nose up at another man's tarnished treasure and that gets him to thinking.
Frank Cortez's father bought a '55 Dodge truck when it was a year old for the princely sum of $800. He relied on it daily over the next 10 years until he finally handed over the keys of his first vehicle to a wide-eyed young Frank. He used it for decade as well, just like his father had. It carried Frank throughout his youth and on into his adult education. After finishing college, he parked the old Dodge in his dad's backyard, where it deteriorated since 1980. While the truck was rotting away, the next-door neighbors had given birth and raised a son who was now old enough to drive. In his youthful exuberance, he inquired about the truck's fate and if it might be for sale. Both Frank and his dad had given up at this point, and agreed to offer it to its prospective fourth owner. After they pulled it out of an almost permanent hibernation and cleared the 20 years of sleep off of it, it was a little worse for the wear and appeared to be too much of an undertaking for the young lad, so he decided to pass. As a result of all of this, it was agreed to "put a bullet in 'er," and junk the once trusty old truck.
Three days after the decision was made, Frank's dad called to let him know that he tried to start the old Dodge just for grins, and it ran. They were shocked! If it would do that after 20 years, Frank thought he had better restore it and welcome it back into the family.
The first order of business was to sort out the drivetrain. The old 259ci V-8 had certainly shown signs of life again, but was voted out in favor of a Mopar Magnum 360ci crate motor. The new mill boasts flat-top pistons, a hydraulic roller cam with 0.501-inch/0.513-inch ex. lift, and Magnum R/T heads with 1.9-inch/1.6-inch SS valves and heavy-duty springs. On the outside, we find a 750-cfm Holley perched on the polished M1 intake, a Mopar Performance electronic ignition setup with Moroso Blue Max solid-core wires, and a K&N air filter between the two Mopar cast-aluminum valve covers. Don Grass at A-1 Automotive in South Gate, California, was picked to tackle the motor swap. To coincide with the Mopar motor, a 904 Torque Flite was put out back, stuffed with a shift kit by Kim's Trans Shop in Paramount, California, and topped with a Lokar shifter.In case you couldn't see where this was going, they hung a 8-3/4-inch rearend out of a '72 Plymouth Satellite under the '55, but updated it with later Mopar discs. The rest of the suspension was kept mostly stock, retaining the leaf springs front and rear, but installing new Rancho shocks all the way around. At the ends of the stock I-beam axle, '67 Mustang disc brakes were adapted and are now controlled by a dual-reservoir master cylinder. Since Frank wanted to go for a more hot-rod look, he picked a cool set of Billet Specialties SLX-137 wheels in pairs of 17x8 and 18x10 rolling on Goodyear F1 rubber.
Frank said the most challenging part of the build was the rust removal and repair, but you'd never know now. On top of straightening everything out, Jack Papazian at South-Lyn Collision Center frenched the headlights, made a rear roll pan, and molded the front end tin together. The stock grille was sent out and dipped, along with the stock dash inserts. Jack also sprayed the smooth-as-glass PPG Guards Red on the old Dodge.
All that was left now was to get the comfy stuff handled on the inside. The church pew-style stock seat was ditched and a Glide Engineering split-bench put in its place. Desert tan leather covers the new seat, as well as the door panels and a tan tweed carpet rounds out the floor. The Auto Meter gauges tell Frank what's up while he's behind the Grant wheel that sits on top of the shortened stock column. Apparently, Frank is so happy with his truck that he says now he wouldn't change a thing! That seems to be the opinion of many others, too, evidenced by all the awards that grace the Cortez's house. The Dodge is driven every weekend and can often be found at Frisco's Cruise Night in Downey, California. It's a good thing the '55 wasn't this nice back when Frank was driving it to school. He might not have gotten much studying done.

Augusta, GA (Sports Network) - Brandt Snedeker and Angel Cabrera posted
matching rounds of 3-under 69 on Saturday to grab a share of the lead after
three rounds of the 77th Masters.
Snedeker claimed his seventh PGA Tour win earlier this year at Pebble Beach.
Cabrera owns two PGA Tour victories, the 2009 Masters and 2007 U.S. Open
Championship. The duo stands atop the leaderboard at 7-under-par 209.
Adam Scott, who bogeyed the last four holes to lose the British Open last
summer, is alone in third place at minus-6. The Australian also shot a 69 in
round three.
Jason Day, the second-round leader, bogeyed the final two holes to slide into
a share of fourth place at 5-under 211. He stands alongside fellow Australian
Marc Leishman, who posted an even-par 72 on Saturday at Augusta National.
There are three Australians in the top five. They are hoping to break the
streak of no Australian winner of this tournament.
Matt Kuchar posted a 3-under 69 to move into sixth place at minus-4.
Tiger Woods overcame a 2-stroke penalty before his round to card a 2-under 70.
That moved him to 3-under 213. Without the penalty, Woods would be tied for
fourth at minus-5.
As it stands, Woods shares seventh place with Tim Clark, whose 67 was the low
round of the day Saturday.
Defending champion Bubba Watson, playing alone in the first group, carded a 2-
under 70 to get to 2-over 218 through 54 holes.
Phil Mickelson stumbled to a 5-over 77 to slide to plus-8 for the tournament
and Keegan Bradley struggled to a 10-over 82 and fell to 12-over 228 overall.

Pretty Little Liars Spoilers: Will Wrencer Fans Be Happy With Episode 20?
With Spoby on the rocks — to put it mildly — now seems like the time for Wrencer to shine on Pretty Little Liars. But will fans of Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Wren (Julian Morris) be happy with their scenes in upcoming episodes?
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
We know Wren is back in Season 3, Episode 19, and will also appear in Episode 20, 23, and possibly the finale. We also know that Episode 20 will feature Spencer finding someone to "lean on." Is that person Wren?
We're not positive, but we do know that PLL writer Andy Reaser, who penned the episode, thinks that Wrencer fans "will have some things to like" in it. That sounds promising for fans of the ship.
Other spoilers that seem relevant are that Wren will try to make Spencer feel better at some point this season ... but also that we probably shouldn't trust him.
Do you think Spencer will turn to Wren for help? And if she does, might it go wrong? Share your theories in the comments below!

If scuba diving isn't on your "to do" list, make sure to add it before visiting St. Lucia. It's a wonderful hobby that will literally change your life and the way you see it, and one of our favorite things to do at the Rendezvous couples resort. From lakes to coral reefs, shipwrecks and night dives, every adventure is unique and different.
Depending on how fast you proceed, 3 to 5 days should suffice to get PADI Open Water certified. This certification is recognized worldwide and will allow you to dive all over the globe.
There are three main phases you will have to go through in order to get your PADI Open Water Certification.
- Learn the theory and pass the exam. Surely, you don't want to spend hours in a classroom studying. You'd rather take advantage of everything that your all inclusive St Lucia vacation has to offer. The good news is that you can do this at home via the PADI website. http://www.padi.com/scuba/ This will allow you to gain valuable time and jump pretty much straight into your scuba gear. If for some reason you can't do this from home, no problem, you can study here at the dive center.
- Suit up; it's time to practice in the pool! There are five confined dives that will allow you to get a better feeling of what scuba diving is all about. From setting up you scuba gear to developing and practicing your scuba skills, you are now only a few steps away from your first open water dive in St. Lucia...
- Time to get real! You will now continue to learn and practice during four open water dives. Once you have completed these dives, that's it! You are now an official PADI Open Water certified diver, congratulations!
As mentioned above, you can now enjoy diving all over the world with other certified divers. St. Lucia is a diving gem with abundant underwater wildlife, shipwrecks, and reefs. The daily dives offered at Rendezvous are always full of surprises and will blow you mind.
By getting certified, you are opening a new, amazing chapter in your life and might realize that from now on, vacations will be focused mainly on diving.

Protectedplanet.net is the new face of the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA), a joint initiative of IUCN and UNEP's World Conservation Monitoring Centre.
Its humble beginnings started 30 years ago as a basic global list of national parks and has evolved into the only global, spatially referenced information source on parks and protected areas. Protectedplanet.net not only showcases this wealth of information but also give tools to willing 'citizen scientists' who can feed their knowledge about protected areas into the WDPA.
The World Database is supported by members of IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas members all over the world. Contributions and updates come from both government and non-government organisations.
Who uses the World Database on Protected Areas?
The World Database on Protected Areas provides information on the coverage and distribution of protected areas. These are two key indicators for global policy and decision making.
The protected area coverage indicator measures policy response to biodiversity loss. An increase in protected area coverage indicates increased efforts by governments and civil society to protect land and sea areas with a view to achieving the long-term conservation of biodiversity with associated ecosystem services and cultural values.

In a closet of all places to drop NIB to demo EDB
You the created Instructables. You're awesome!
That is an under-estimation :)
Hi, I made an account to download to a pdf of an instructable but it said I needed to go pro (a bit like that oral b commercial haha) If you could please delete my account I would really appreciate it. Cheers
Nice place you people have here, I think I'll stay a while--or until I'm asked to leave.
Ewilhelm looks like he's having way too much fun. I hope it's contagious.
A bit late but can you please send me one and I will work harder on the sand Thumper :-D
Sir i want a code for propeller display using led's with arduino.... simple code for displaying my name "Farah Tauseef"... no sensor is used..only fan, arduino and led's are there in my project...
kindly reply ... it's urgent..
Cool still suit. I also liked the Willy Wonka-esque purple suit in the 25 Makers article. Great to see instructables going from strength to strength. Keep up the good work and great style choices!
I can't decide if I'm more disturbed by the string up your nose, or by the blue in the whites of your eyes (I mean, I like blue, but I don't think eyes are supposed to do that...). :P

Each tube comes packed with twelve tablets that you can easily carry with you to drop into your water before, during, and after your workouts and outdoor adventures. Sugar-free and with a light, natural taste, the GU Brew tablets won't weigh you down with anything but the salts that you need.

I've had to start hiding them
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've actually had to start hiding these from my roomates as they seem to always be empty. They are just a great way to get that extra boost of hydration you need after a day of being outside. The flavors are not overwhelmingly strong or sweet and I love the slight fizzyness it adds to your water. Grapefruit flavor is my favorite.
Great Tablets
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my favorite electrolyte tab/powder. They are super easy, taste good, aren't overly flavored, and make me want to drink more water!
Peach Tea nutrition
Like the flavor; dislike the fizz
I tried this in Peach Tea because I really like the flavor, but dislike how chewy the Chomps are. Well, the flavor is still good, but I actually don't like the carbonation/fizziness/effervescence/what have you. I like the tube they come in. I dislike that the flavor was difficult to get out of my Camelbak podium bottle. It took a good 1-2 weeks including a good scrub down and several uses with plain water before the peach tea flavor disappeared completely from my bottle.
Better than water
I ordered the peach tea flavour and found it to be pleasant. As a result I drank more water than what I used to.
Not meant to be a carbohydrate replacement. These are just to replenish electrolytes. Not ideal in every circumstance but when used properly, excellent. On a long ski day when I cary plenty of carb calories as solid food, a waterbottle with GU brew is perfect for keeping electrolytes up and preventing cramps. The small canister is good for bringing a couple tabs along on a big push. Give it a bit of time to dissolve.
These are alright but they take a while to dissolve and the fizzing is a little annoying when drinking. They only provide electrolytes so that is a minus. Gatorade gives you carbohydrates as well so you are helping to replenish your energy stores. These will do the job but there are other options that are better in my opinion.
Great mix
Not too sweet and a nice replenishing mix. I've only tried orange, but I'll definitely be buying it again.
Guud Stuff
This is a great way to get back what you've sweat out during the day. I like the very mild flavor and they are small and portable. Great for expeditions and after workout beverages.

WITN's Sara Dodrill spoke with Kathy Taft's daughter Saturday, just a day after her mother's murderer was found guilty.
On Friday jurors found Jason Williford guilty of first-degree murder and guilty of first-degree rape.
Jurors apparently did not believe defense lawyers who tried to prove the Raleigh man was mentally ill and did not use premeditation in the death of Taft.
Taft was from Greenville. She served on the State Board of Education. Back in March of 2010 she was staying at a friend's home in Raleigh after cosmetic surgery when she was attacked and killed.
The judge will have jurors return Monday morning where they will hear testimony in the sentencing phase of the trial. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Williford.
Paige Fuqua told WITN, "It was a relief to get that verdict. Not that, we already knew he was guilty and we knew that wasn't an issue, but it was still a relief to get the first degree. You know at this point I can honestly say I don't really care what happens to him. At this point I just care that he doesn't ever get out. That's the only thing I care about."


text: Lately when I have been meditating my toes have been turning blue. It doesn't last very long, I just rub my toes after I have finished and the circulation is back to normal within a minute or so. I suspect it is nothing serious, probably a combination of the winter weather and a sedentary lifestyle. Maybe I could do some more regular exercise (I have been a bit slack lately) to help with the circulation. Hass anyone else ever had this happen when they meditate, if so what did you do about it?

We need a lot more more of this. It's wonderful to see a congressman fight back against Republican bullies!
Watch: A Democratic Rep. Refuses To Give In To A Republicans Obamacare Lies
By Omar Rivero
October 24, 2013
When a Republican Congressman from Texas started scaremongering about Obamacare during a hearing this morning held by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, a Democrat from New Jersey stood his ground, refused to yield, and blasted him and his GOP colleagues for spreading lies and distortions about Pres. Obamas signature health care reform.
As Texas Republican Joe Barton was in the middle of lying about Obamacares privacy protections (and whether they conflict with HIPAA, a law that ensures the privacy of health information), this brave Democrat, Representative from New Jersey Frank Pallone, stepped in and put Barton in his place.
HIPAA only applies when there is health information is being provided, that is not in play here today. No health information is required in the application process, and why is that? Because preexisting conditions dont matter! So once again, we have our Republican colleagues trying to scare everybody
At this point, Barton Interrupted, with the gentleman yield?
No, I will not yield to this monkey court or whatever it is!
This is not a monkey court!
Call it whatever you want, Im not yielding! I am trying to tell you, that the problem here is that preexisting conditions dont matter, HIPPA doesnt apply, there is no health information in the process, your asked about your address, your date of birth, youre not asked health information. So are we going down this path? Because youre trying to scare people so they dont apply, and so therefore the legislation gets delayed, The Affordable Care Act gets defunded, or is repealed. Thats all it is, hoping people want to apply. The fact of the matter is, there are millions of people out there, over 20 million, that are going on this site and they are going to apply, and they are ultimately going to be able to enroll. I think my Republican colleagues forget that a lot of people are enrolling through to state exchanges rather than the federal exchange, and if it wasnt for the fact that had many Republican governors, including my own, agreed to set up state exchanges, then we wouldnt be putting so much burden on the federal system.
After listing off the many Americans that were able to successfully enroll through the several state exchanges, he continued, so you know, this federal website is not the only way that you can apply. You can go to your community health center, you can go to the 1- 800 number, there are many ways for people to enroll and all we do here is talk about the website because youre trying to make the case that people should not enroll!
Its refreshing to see a Democrat call out Republicans right on the spot and reveal the true intentions behind their distortions.
Please watch the video of the exchange below and share this and other related articles on social media forums so that everyone will know the truth about the Affordable Care Act, not Republican lies.

LARGO, Md. (WUSA) - With the spread of the flu virus increasing, the Prince Georges County Health Department has announced it will host a special free walk-in clinic on Monday January 14, 2013.
County officials said that the county has entered the peak season for the spread of the seasonal flu virus, with January and February have been traditionally known for increased activity of the influenza virus
The Health Department is encouraging all Prince Georges County Residents to protect their health, the health of their family, friends, and co-workers by taking a flu shot to take advantage of the free flu vaccine clinic and community vaccination opportunities if they have not yet been vaccinated, said Health Officer Pamela Creekmur.
Free flu shots are available from the Health Department and many pharmacies and supermarkets are still providing flu shots for a fee.
The following locations will offer special free flu vaccination:
Cheverly Health Center Immunization Clinic, Room 2083 and Communicable Disease Clinic, Rm1066 located at 3003 Hospital Drive, Cheverly, MD 20785
D. Leonard Dyer Regional Health Center HIV, Program located at 9314 Piscataway Road, Clinton, MD 20735.
Residents can also receive free vaccinations at the following Health Department clinics:
Communicable Disease Control Program
3003 Hospital Drive, Rm. 1066
Cheverly MD 20785
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone above the age of 6 months get vaccinated.
According to the CDC, people at a higher risk of serious health consequences from the flu virus are:
Children less than 5 years old
Persons aged 65 years or older
Pregnant women
Residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities
Adults and children who have asthma, chronic pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, hematological, neurologic, neuromuscular, or metabolic disorders
Adults and children who have immunosuppressant (including immunosuppressant caused by medications or by HIV/AIDS, cancer or those on chronic steroids)
Children and adolescents (under 19 years) who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy and who might be at risk for experiencing Reye syndrome after influenza virus infection
People who are morbidly obese (Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or greater
The best protection against the flu virus is vaccination and practicing good personal hygiene:
Wash your hands often, especially after coughing, sneezing, and wiping or blowing your nose
If you have flu symptoms, stay home and avoid contact with other people to protect them from catching your illness.
Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing
Use paper tissues when wiping or blowing your nose; throw tissues away after use
Stay away from crowded living and sleeping spaces, if possible
If you develop symptoms of the flu (fever, body ache, fatigue, and dry cough) seek medical care quickly. The medications available to healthcare providers to treat the flu must usually begin within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Simply put, Conotton Valley showed up at Ohio University Eastern on Saturday night with every intention of winning the boys' Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Class A championship.
And just seven days after the Rockets girls' captured the school's first conference title, Coach Mike Fierbaugh's boys did exactly the same.
Senior Brandon Bailey was nearly unstoppable inside with 26 points and 12 rebounds and Conotton Valley had a total of two double-figure scorers and three with double-digit rebounds as the Rockets broke open a close game early with a 25-2 run en route to a 65-42 pounding of Bishop Donahue at OUE's Health and Physical Education Center.
The victory was the 16th in 21 games for Fierbaugh's crew, which launched into a wild celebration with their fans after the final buzzer.
With the Bowerston bunch leading 7-6 at the 3:15 mark of the opening quarter, things took a drastic change with an 11-0 spurt that pushed the count to 18-6 at the end of one. Conotton Valley added the initial five points of the second before a Chaice Truex deuce snapped a 16-0 run.
However, the Rockets weren't even close to being finished, putting up the next nine points to cap a remarkable 25-2 rally that gave them a whopping 32-8 lead with 2:42 to play in the half. The Bishops (12-8) pulled to within 38-18 at the break, but it was just too late.
It was a 24-point margin, 53-29, with eight minutes to play.
"This is just a great group of kids that have done an amazing job responding to hard work," Fierbaugh said. "A few years ago something like this was just unimaginable. I just love these kids.
"It was a great job overall (Saturday), but this was what we wanted to do and we did it. Honestly, second place was not an option for this group. We came close last year, losing by four to Weirton Madonna, but we have a lot of kids back and this was a major focus and goal for them.
"I think it is great that both the girls and boys won championships this year, but they did beat us to it."
Senior Brandon Galigher added 10 points for the Rockets, but rebounding was a big factor throughout. Zach Lyon added 12 caroms while Galigher had 10. Conotton Valley led 22-8 off the glass at the half, 31-15 after three and finished with a 38-22 margin.
Truex and Bryce Jones each finished with 11 for Donahue, which struggled mightily from the floor, hitting 14 of 43 tries. The Bishops had four 3-pointers, but all of them came after the score was already out of hand.
"This is a young group that hasn't experienced this before," Bishop Donahue coach Tom Wise said. ''Hopefully they learned something (Saturday). We have not shot that bad all season long, but for some reason we couldn't get much to fall.
"They are a veteran team with seven seniors and we have just two and I think that showed. Brandon Bailey is a tremendous player and they have a nice team with good size. I really can't raise a lot of heck with my team, I don't doubt the effort given, the shots just didn't fall.
"As far as rebounding goes, I will take the heat for that. We wanted to run a zone on defense and double-down on Bailey thinking if we could limit his touches it might be a good thing. But it created other shots for them and second and third efforts. They just started stroking it when they got their feet wet and started building confidence."

I just installed Zimbra and migrated from Exchange server this last weekend. I run this for a completely personal domain, and serve mail to my wife and kids, plus my brothers and sisters. All in all I have about 8 e-mail accounts. The more I use it and learn about it, the more I love it. Also, this forum is wonderful and if I have to post a question, you've given answers in a helpful and timely manner. The most amazing thing so far is that this is all free! I'm not used to open source being so wonderful (well, Ubuntu rocks too, I guess).
Anyway, here is the first of several user inputs that I plan to post for you. Thank you once again!
Quick feedback: *I don't think I've seen this feature in the past, but I sent myself something from my work email with a ton of attachments that I was asked to burn to a CD - It was great that rather than having to download each individual photo, I was able to click "download all attachments" and it put them all in a folder on my desktop for me. *It was very efficient. *Overall, this system seems to be very intuitive and user friendly. *It's responsive and altogether, I like it. *Thanks for taking care of us and our email needs
That was from my brother.

Arrive at Kruger Mpumalanga Airport (MQP) this morning and depart with your guide and driver for the private Thornybush Game Reserve which forms part of the 2.2 million hectare Greater Kruger National Park. Spend two full days with your ranger and a Shangaan tracker in search of the Big Five (elephant, leopard, lion, buffalo and rhino) as well the elusive wild dog, and a wide variety of antelope. Game drives are in open vehicles allowing unobstructed views of wildlife and walking safaris allow you to track animals and learn about the smaller inhabitants of this ecosystem. Afternoon game drives often stretch into evenings where spotlights offer chances to catch a glimpse of nocturnal species such as genets and porcupines.
Serondella's small size allows the camp hosts to be intimately involved with guests. Surprise bush breakfasts and sunset dinners at the lodge's game viewing hides are de rigeur, as well as an incredible insight to life in this area of South Africa. At night retire to comfortable, stylish rooms and personal attention from the local staff. Evenings are a special time in the bush, often spent with a drink in hand watching elephants at the watering hole and the sunset over the vast wilderness. Overnight for three nights at Serondella Lodge within the Thorneybush Game Reserve.
Note: Arrival flight into Kruger Mpumalanga Airport (MQP) is not included and must be purchased either through Wildland Adventures or on own. Typically travelers arrive into MQP from Johannesburg (JNB) or Cape Town (CPT) on scheduled South African Airways flights. We'll be happy to offer assistance in booking this internal flight.
Upgrade Option: Tanda Tula Camp in the Timbavati Reserve bordering Kruger National Park for an additional $600 per person.
Accommodations: Serondella Game Lodge, Tanda Tula Camp
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, transfer to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport for an included charter flight direct to the airstrip at Rocktail Bay.

Situated offshore from Rocktail Bay is the Maputaland Marine Reserve, which offers extraordinary SCUBA diving and snorkeling encounters with huge shoals of fish, dolphins and whales. The whole area has been declared a World Heritage Site. From a snorkeling and diving perspective, Rocktail Bay is unique. Not only is the diving conducted within a Reserve and World Heritage Site along unspoiled reefs, but divers have the luxury of knowing that they alone have access to these sites and are the only underwater visitors along this stretch of the coastline. Two activities per day are included during your stay at Rocktail Beach Camp and range from guided walking on beach and forest trails, to snorkeling at Lala Nek, and trips to Lake Sibaya. SCUBA diving and Quad motor-biking through the coastal dunes are available at additional cost. Overnight for three nights Rocktail Beach Camp.

Originally a cattle farm, over the years Thanda's wildlife management has introduced the Big Five and was the first private game reserve in Kwa Zulu-Natal to successfully reintroduce a breeding pack of wild dog. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are complimented by walks led by knowledgeable rangers. Thanda is also home to black and white rhino, cheetah, hyena, warthog, lion and plains game.

Chevrolet C10 Weatherstrip Replacing - First Things FirstWritten by on July 12, 2010 Replacing '73-87 C10 Weatherstrip
There's a correct order in which improvements should be made to a truck. Skip a few steps, and the toll might be having to buy the same parts all over again. During the last three or so years the '79 Chevy C10 Big 10 known to loyal CCT readers as the Americruise truck has gone through a lot of good changes. The first improvements after buying the truck and readying it to drive across country in only six weeks time for Americruise was to install a Gearstar 4L60E transmission and rack-up over 5,200 test miles in one week on CPP's new trailing-arm kit for '73-87 C10s. Since then I've installed Howell Development's TBI kit, the Wilwood-CPP 14-inch big disc brake kit, Dakota Digital goodies, and a host of other upgrades that can be found in tech stories archived on CCT's website. The one thing that I haven't done to the truck because I have a passion for old vehicles left in original condition is not to mess with the cosmetics. With only 75,000 miles on the clock and kept in a plum farmer's barn most of its life the truck looked pretty good for its age. Unfortunately I don't have enough room in my garage to keep the '79 indoors at night, or out of the sun during the day, so it's been aging at an accelerated rate ever since-kind of like in one of those science fiction movies where a pretty young girl shrivels up into a pile of decrepit dust within seconds. This is especially true of the rubber weather seals on the '79, but the funny thing is I didn't start out to write a story on replacing the rubber. The original plan was to install Brothers' direct-fit power window kit for '73-87 C10s, but I soon came to the realization it would be best to take care of everything at once since the doors would already be apart. Rust is one of the most destructive things that an old truck can be exposed to, and allowing the windows and doors to leak water opens the floodgates to rust other areas of the cab. Besides preventing the spread of cancerous rust, replacing the weatherstripping seals out noise, and helps to contain air-conditioned or heated air. Beyond maintaining comfort levels a properly sealed cab eliminates exposure to dangerous carbon monoxide fumes that ultimately can cause death.
The first thing one learns when a weatherstrip kit arrives from any of the aftermarket parts suppliers is that they have a real mystery on their hands. The box is filled with rubber strips and funny pieces that don't lend any clues on how to install them. Have no fear though, I've bumbled through enough of these rubber installs that I'm actually getting pretty good at achieving what I consider a perfect job. By perfect I mean the metal reinforced parts aren't bent, and the door seals don't fall short, and look like Pee Wee Herman's pant legs. Ultimately the truck should be able to drive down the street without wind whistling, and survive a heavy rainstorm without allowing rainwater to leak inside.

Typical of any '73-87 C10 is that time has hardened this rubber outer window seal and allowed a 1/4-inch gap to appear across the top of the door.It's all about the job looking clean-I hate cutting a big hole in a door just to mount a stereo speaker, so I concealed a 6x9-inch coaxial speaker behind the cross flow ventilation vents.We covered the speaker install in a past issue where I left the window mechs in place and fought like crazy to get the speaker into place. It wasn't long before water got to the speakers and things went south.The first step to replacing the weather seals is to remove the door panels. I unscrewed the door lock knob; used a door handle tool to remove the clip behind the window crank, and with the clips released, pulled the door panel up and away from the door.Next, the four bolts holding the window regulator were removed, and the rear window track's two bolts (near door lock) were loosened, but not unbolted completely.
To remove the vent window assembly the three Phillips screws were unscrewed, and the two bolts (lower front) at the bottom of the front window track were removed.A chunk of dried-out window channel stuck right in front of the vent window frame felt just like one more hidden bolt needed to be removed.To remove, the vent window assembly was laid on its back with the lower mount allowed to exit by clearing the widest gap at the front.The rubber with the fuzzy insides is called the door glass run, and the older it gets the more brittle it becomes. When removed it's best to pull it out in long chunks...
The door run was installed by starting at the bottom of the rear window track, and pushing it into place.Using the edge of the window glass is a great way to drive the door glass run home without tearing its fuzzy little guts.The rear track with the door glass run properly installed leaves a long length of material hanging. To install it the track it was shoved through the access hole and down towards its mounting position.Then utilizing a technique of using the inside flats of the fingers worked great pressing the door glass run into the door frame, stopping short of the first bend.Before the door glass run was fitted into the first bend, the retainer clip on the door glass run was pressed into hole for it in the doorframe.The outer window seal is extremely easy to bend, and you won't be able to straighten it out. Using Royal Purple's Maxfilm insured the outer window seal pressed into place without damage.
I use a piece of masking tape to guarantee the outer window seal will not be damaged by the glass when it is installed.We're all set to install Brothers' direct fit power window kit, but here's where we'll stop this month. Stuff a board right here and you'll be able to prop the window up. Just for giggles you can close the door and shoot the window with a garden hose to see if it leaks.Please forgive the corny worn-out cliché, but in next month's issue we're really going to rock 'n'roll. Before Brothers power window mechs go in, I'm going to line the doors with Dynamat and enclose the 6x9 speakers the right way with a Boom Mat and DynaXorb. While I'm at we'll also drop in a set of 6x9 cab corner brackets from 73-87.com.

My knees are pretty shot. I do almost all of my workout at 10deg on a treadmill. I stop every 2 miles and do a short little round on a bowflex. At my current pace, I should shed about 20lbs this month and be close to 180. Based on what I have seen from others, I should then load up one of my old packs with 45#(that is about what my 10 day pack weighs in at), and get after it some more. I think strengthening my legs with relatively low impact has helped pull my knees together and made down hills much easier on me. I think a good goal for me by july/Aug would be 8 miles in a day with a (med)pack on and not be burned out and sore the next day. This is all a little new to me in the last few years. Getting old and sitting at a desk everyday really takes a toll.
If I bump the speed above 3, I start getting the lungs burning a little. I assume this is what I should be doing to help train for high altitude?? I am at a whopping 350ft EL in the Willamette Valley.

Recent discoveries in the field of quantum theory have confirmed what religious and philosophical teachings throughout the centuries, ranging from the Bible to Eastern philosophy, have always asserted: your beliefs can affect the most basic level of the material universe.
You actually magnetize into your life what you believe most deeply.
This track is extremely powerful on it's own and utilises the most fundamental maxims for subliminal life changing events - relaxation.
Track Two -Subliminal Encoded & Embedded Message™
YOUR CHOICE Subliminal Message Track
(For more on Subliminal Encoded & Embedded Message™ click here)
Your choice of life enhancing and dynamic powerful subliminal messages track, digitally encoded to install below the threshold of conscious perception.
A subliminal message is one of the most misunderstood and underrated performance enhancing tools of the decade. The term "subliminal" is derived from two Latin words, "sub", meaning under, and "limen" meaning threshold. A subliminal message is the act of conveying a message directly to the subconscious mind…below the threshold of conscious awareness.
Subliminal programming is a method used to place pre-arranged thoughts or ideas into the subconscious mind and reinforcing pre-existing information stored in the subconscious or to increase a person's selective attention.
A subliminal message is quite different than responding without awareness. Subliminal messages involves reacting to stimuli that are above your physiological thresholds but below your perceptual thresholds.
Throughout you'll be presented with pure subliminal messages. These are layered with our specially designed and unique new age masking tracks to create powerful subliminal messages delivered direct to your subconscious brain.
Most subliminal Cd's are created simply by mixing two tracks together with the vocal track's volume lowered to make it 'subliminal'.
Whether stereo confusion, compression, reverse messages, binaural beats etc. etc. are used, the final mix down remains the same.
The only true way to create a subliminal audio track is to utilise what is known as modulation following.
This is an extremely expensive process, which is why most companies just don't bother (your not going to hear it any way).
This process involves modulating the vocal track to the backing track in such a way that the vocals are exactly matched to the backing track. In other words the vocal frequency wave is modulated to the backing track wave signals. When this is done the vocals are truely subliminal in that they are embedded within the backing track signal just below the threshold of conscious perception.
In the screen shot, notice how the subliminal track is not mixed "in" the music, but is at a higher frequency (i.e. "above" the music).
This means that these messages are more effective than normal subliminal messages because the subliminal messages are not competing with the sound mask (music), therefore are more effective.
The digitally encoded modulation of the vocal messages means the conscious mind cannot comprehend the subliminal messages. Yet through a process known as "compensation", these words can be easily interpreted by the subconscious mind and begin the process of inner change.
Discover the power to change your mind and change your life - forever!
Track Three - Silent Technology™
The Law of Attraction Master Silent Audio Track
(For more on Silent Technology™ click here)
For the first time in history, experts from all over the world, in all the major fields such as science, psychology, medicine, spirituality, metaphysics, and human potential, are all agreeing that there is only one way, one process, one secret to creating anything in your life, including your happiness, prosperity, health, etc..
People like Bill Gates, Steve n Spielberg, Tiger Woods, J. Rockefeller, Einstein, Thoreau, Gandhi, and even Jesus and the Buddha have used this "secret" to create miracles. Scientists have discovered that behind the creation of everything in life, there is only one scientific process that is so powerful that once you know it, you could conceivably "create anything you desire."
"Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the stream of thought that is forever flowing through one's head." - Mark Twain
"…realize in your daily life that 'matter' is merely an aggregation of protons and electrons subject entirely to the control of Mind; that your environment, your success, your happiness, are all of your own making… All wealth depends upon a clear understanding of the fact that mind- thought - is the only creator. The great business of life is thinking. Control your thoughts and you control circumstance." - Robert Collier
"A man is what he thinks all day." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"There is a science to getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once you learn and obey these laws, you will get rich [or anything else you desire] with mathematical certainty. [The basic fact is]…we are a Thinking Substance, and thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about." - Wallace D. Wattles & Dr. Judith Powell
"Those people who think they can do something and those who think they can't are both right." - Henry Ford
"Every thought has the power to bring into being the visible from the invisible. It is absolutely necessary for us all to understand that everything we think, do or say comes back to us. Every thought, word or action- without exception- manifests itself [in some way] as an actual reality." - Ann Wigmore
"Hold a picture of yourself long enough in your mind's eye and you will be drawn toward it." - Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." - William James
"I think, therefore I am." - Rene Descartes
"You become what you think about." - Earl Nightingale
Science is now proving that our physical universe is really made of energy. If you were to break down everything you see around you, including yourself, into smaller and smaller particles (atoms, electrons, protons etc.), you would end up with very small, subatomic particles, which is pure energy.
By using particle accelerators, physicists have discovered that subatomic particles (the essence or energy that makes up our physical world) appear to exist only when someone is thinking about them, or trying to observe them. When a scientist puts his or her attention on them, they flash into existence. This means that subatomic particles are created by sending thoughts in their direction.
When a scientist begins to observe a viewing area, the particles or essence of all physical matter materializes. "Our attention directed to the formless wave energy is what creates the reality that we call particle or solid, or the physical world." In other words, you literally create reality with your thoughts.
It has also been discovered that when one scientist thought that the subatomic particles should act or behave in a certain way, they did. If another scientist thought they should behave in a different way, they did. In other words, the particles that make up our reality changed and responded according to the thoughts of the scientists.
Thoughts are pure energy and energy is magnetic.
This is called the Law of Attraction.
Our Law of Attraction Master Silent Audio Track addresses the fundamental negative belief system that most people have. That is, thay fail to believe that what they focus on they materialise. By 'listening' to this track repeatedly you will 'silently' install the subconscious belief that what you focus on YOU will materialise.

1 How Do The Programs Work?
Each program is designed to stimulate you on how to use more of your mind. It is our subconscious mind that is the real core of our being. Our subconscious is the focal point - to our memory, senses and bodily processes. The subconscious accepts and brings into reality any suggestion that is presented to it.2 Why The Subconscious?
The human subconscious is non-selective with the information it accepts – that means all statements and information that we have processed over our lifetime-to-date are present in our subconscious minds. Our current behavior is based on this expansive retention that the subconscious has selected to accept. To change our current behavior, we must first change the informational content stored in the subconscious – a lasting and permanent behavioral modification. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to counteract those "negative" subconscious thoughts. If we introduce positive suggestions with the proper motivation - accompanied by visual imagery, color and the rhythm of words spoken as notes - our mind can help bring into reality whatever it is we desire.3 What Is Subliminal Persuasion?
The dictionary defines subliminal as "existing or functioning outside the area of conscious awareness." Subliminal recordings were made possible only by the inventive onset of motion pictures. The fact that subliminal persuasion (or suggestion) can reach the subconscious through the use of audio - as well as through visual stimulation - is a much more recent discovery.4 How Does Subliminal Persuasion Work?
It retrains your subconscious mind. When our subconscious programming is positive, our outlook on life is positive. Likewise, if our mind is filled with negative thoughts and notions, so is our outlook. Simply put, as adults, we have the opportunity to willfully make positive changes in our lives. We hold the key and it is soley up to us.5 What Is Self-Hypnosis?
Any of various conditions that resembles sleep, or deep relaxation, as induced by oneself. Because the subconscious mind never sleeps, a series of suggestions can bring about a pleasant state of deep relaxation (or light hypnosis).6 What Is The Benefit Of Using These Technologies Together?
Through numerous years of careful study and development, it has been found that combining self-hypnosis and subliminal persuasion provides one of the most effective personal motivation and improvement tools available today. This mind technology, if used as instructed, can help you in achieving the desired behavioral modifications.7 Who Is Robert Siegel And What Are His Credentials?
Robert Siegel, the voice and author of the hypnosis tracks on the CD's available on this site, is a renowned hypnotist and published author. He has created a series of hypnotic recordings which irresistably lure the listener on a journey inwards... to the metaphorical realms of the unconscious mind. Using tales and legends compiled from the world's ancient cultures, the listener's conscious mind becomes effortlessly absorbed in the entrancing narration, the skillful weave of hypnotic language patterns and metaphorical scenarios ensuring that the listener's unconscious mind receives highly beneficial suggestions for encouraging positive change! Robert's presentation is one of the magical storyteller - entertaining, captivating and mesmerizing. Included are all the ideal components for creating in the listener numerous potentials for learning and change. These programs are not the 'run of the mill' standardized processes that seem to proliferate; instead they enhance Robert's status as a highly talented and creative hypnotic author.8 When Can I Use These Programs?
The subliminal CD programs are designed so that they can be used anywhere and at any time you choose. You can listen while at work, during play or when exercising. WARNING: You should not use them when operating machinery, a vehicle or at other times when you need to maintain awakened consciousness. They can become a pleasant background to your daily activities. The more often you use them, the more effective they can become.
They introduce sounds of the ocean - blended with gentle, soothing, uninterrupted music. The subliminal affirmations are recorded just below your conscious level of awareness, yet at a point where it reaches effectively into your subconscious mind.
The affirmations themselves, are a series of carefully researched words and phrases, constructed into sentences and paragraphs, designed to stimulate the behavioral change you desire. Consciously, you will hear only the music blended audio. However, your subconscious will register the positive subliminal messages recorded beneath these relaxing sounds.
The hypnosis and/or subliminal programs, should be played at a time during the day when you can fully relax. This will provide you with the most benefit and most likely allow you to drift into a deepened state of relaxation (light hypnosis) - or even natural sleep. This is an acceptable state because your subconscious mind never sleeps.
Playing this program several times a week, while in a relaxing atmosphere, is important. During these sessions, your conscious mind will be saturated with the same suggestions that your subconscious mind has absorbed while using the subliminal program.
Using this paired combination will help you balance and coordinate the activities of your conscious and subconscious mind, creating a unity of thought and action - a component necessary to achieving success.9 How Do I Use These Programs?
First, listen to the self-hypnosis program. Do so while sitting in a comfortable position in a place and at a time when you are not likely to fall asleep and when you are not likely to be distracted.
Never use this program when driving a vehicle, operating heavy machinery or when you need to remain fully alert. You will find that the self-hypnosis scripting allows you to fully relax and takes your mind deeply into an optimised state ready for the next track - the subliminal track.
Secondly, begin listening to the subliminal program - as often as you wish and as many times (per day) as is convenient. The positive suggestions/affirmations recorded within the subliminal program are couched in such a way as to manifest within your subconscious the desired effects you require - with the addition of specially blended music. This program can be used anywhere at any time desired.
At bedtime, listen to the self-hypnosis program. Playing the program at this time may assist you in deep, natural and restful sleep. Should you fall asleep during the program, you can still receive and benefit from program in its entirety. Remember, the subconscious mind never sleeps.
Thirdly, listen to the 'silent' program. Our Law of Attraction Master Silent Audio Track addresses the fundamental negative belief system that most people have. That is, thay fail to believe that what they focus on they materialise. By 'listening' to this track repeatedly you will 'silently' install the subconscious belief that what you focus on YOU will materialise.
Continue to follow this sequence for at least 30 days - even when you feel you have achieved your goal or are not aware of changes taking place. It will take time to counteract and alter past behavioral patterns and to reinforce new behavior until it becomes second nature.
Each of these programs has been carefully researched and designed to help you change your life. Used as instructed – an hour per day, whenever possible - and for a minimum of 30 days. While everyone is different, you may begin to experience change within as little as a few days. Most will notice changes in the first two to four weeks.
10 How Do I Know These Programs Will Work?
Each of these products was created and designed to address a specific problem - or area of concern - from personal experiences, recommendations from professional practitioners and people who use our programs. Each program script is designed to stimulate your mind - to use and guide itself.
Only you can make the motivational decision to change, modify, or improve some aspect of your life. These programs are retraining tools to assist you. It is your mind and thoughts that make up your world – your being. If you identify what it is in your life that you want to change or improve and are committed to the effort, then the use of these Subliminal Persuasion/Self-Hypnosis programs can serve as effective tools in the assistance of achieving that change.
We believe the hypnosis programs that Robert has created are a simple, easy, inexpensive way to help you achieve the changes you desire. Your motivation, plus the use of these sublimnal products, can result in your successful attainment of mind over matter!
11 What Is Different About The Subliminal Programs You Offer Compared To Other Programs On The Market?
There are several unique and distinct characteristics that differ us from most subliminal programs available today:
We are pioneers in integrating the technologies of self-hypnosis and subliminal persuasion. With over 15 years of experience - and over 100 program recordings - we have become one of the top expert authorities in the field.
We have carefully developed hypnosis and subliminal program scripts using the latest breakthrough discoveries. All positive suggestions/affirmations are constructed in complete sentences, not in single words that are repetitively "peppered" throughout the recording.
All of the positive suggestions/affirmations that are blended into the subliminal portion of the program, are recorded at REAL TIME speed, not at a highly-accelerated speed where continuous repetition and mutiple layering is a common standard practice.
All subliminal tracks or recordings are accompanied by a self-hypnosis track or recording. This allows for the integration of two separate technologies and insures that each individual using the program is exposed to the maximum benefit from BOTH technologies. Also we include a 'silent' track for even deeper internalisation of the removal of fundamental negative beliefs systems.

|It's the Pitts
|Written by Lee Pitts
Neighborin' (Best Of)
The art of neighborin' is a concept foreign to most city folk. Urbanites can live beside each other for years without ever sharing pie or its recipe. The folks next door are just people to keep up with.
It's not even called a neighborhood any more...it's "the hood." Although all too often in the big city, that is more apt to describe the residents therein.
In fairness, being a good neighbor in the country is easier simply because of space. The distance buffers the piano lessons, fire crackers, barking dogs and family spats. But even though you can't hear your neighbors fight through a thin wall there are still ways to keep up with what's going on with them: you can still eavesdrop, just by sending the kids over to play for the day.
It's been my experience country folk don't borrow sugar or milk as much as city people would lead you to believe. They are more apt to borrow water when the well runs dry or colostrum when the cow does. Neighbors think nothing of borrowing a tractor, but even the best machine can't replace a good neighbor.
Folks in the country "lived together" before that meant what it does now. Out of necessity if nothing else. When it came time to brand the calves there were never enough competent ropers so ranchers traded help. Even today there still aren't enough good "heelers," if you don't count the dogs, that is.
In the country we live by the honor system where wayward calves and kids are shown the way home. A good neighbor admires your calves, and says so, but he doesn't steal them.
Country folk have a long standing tradition of helping one another. Before there were phones, when someone got sick a neighbor would tell a neighbor and so on down the line until the doctor was found. What started out as scarlet fever might become a difficult child birth by the time the Doc was told. If he was too late you shared a community cemetery.
If your barn burned down a new one would be raised and if for some reason you couldn't harvest your crop, a neighbor would do it for you. You didn't need food stamps because the neighbors had a garden.
Still today, if there's an emergency it's probably the phone next door that rings, not 911. Even if "next door" is three miles away. When a mountain lion or a bureaucrat is prowling the neighborhood a good neighbor will send up a modern day smoke signal.
He'll call to inform you that you did have a water trough overflowing or a hard calving cow. But not any more because he just happened to be in the neighborhood and took care of the problem.
The key to being a good neighbor is courtesy. (There's a word you don't hear much any more.) It means you don't run your bulls next to your neighbor's heifers. If your wandering dog has become a nuisance in the neighborhood you get rid of it. If some fool starts a fire on your place you light a back fire and burn your own grass so the fire won't spread to your neighbors, because they'd do the same for you.
To an urban dweller this may all seem like strange behavior for folks who are actually competitors, producing the same product. But we don't look at it that way. Good neighbors would rather have your friendship than your money. It's a higher quality of currency.
When city folk escape to the country, neighborin' is the first thing they should learn. But they don't. Instead they build a big fence and get a mean dog. They might as well have stayed in town because neighbors are what make the country a decent place to live.
In the country we realize if everyone just treated the folks next door a little better the rest of the world would take care of itself.

Great company - great quality - great traditions
I just left my Christmas hint for my 3rd Bosca wallet. First was 1984, then 1999, and now it's time for a third. We have a tradition of purchasing these for the men in the family, and considering they last 10-15 years, the cost is very reasonable.

great overall quality
Love the size, the color, and the quality of stitching throughout the wallet. It's also the only wallet I have ever had with the option to have your initials stamped in. Great product. Buying one, with this 15% off, for my brother. Thank you!

An amazingly simple and beautiful wallet.
I bought this to replace my leather wallet that I had been using for 14 years, so I was nervous about the replacement. My previous wallet had been a high-quality designer wallet as well, so I decided to go with Bosca as they seemed to be of higher-quality and they had a wallet that met all my needs. I am far from disappointed. Not only is what I have exactly what I was looking for, it is beautiful in its simplicity and design and that is more pleasing than I would have thought. I have used it daily (obviously) since getting it in December and it shows no wear. I am extremely impressed with this wallet, and I hope to keep it around for some time.
October 9, 2013
Good wallet, but it scratches easily
I'm really happy with this. It's very thin, holds everything I need, and looks/feels great. My only warning is that the leather scratches VERY easily, so when taking the wallet out of your pocket, you should be careful not to let your fingernails touch it at all. I got this wallet in August and it already has several scratches on it. That being said, I understand that that is the nature of this type of leather. Overall, I'm glad I bought it.

Love it- Perfect gift for my husband
I haven't given it to my husband yet as it's his 40th Birthday surprise gift. If you saw his current wallet, any new one would do. But I wanted to get him something special since it is his 40th. I like that you can get a monogram. I was even attempted to put a "40" on it for fun, but did his initials instead. =) I purchased a leather lotion, not from Bosca, and will prep it before giving to him. I love the look of it though, I think it has that perfect minimal sophistication. ALSO, begin a designer, I tend to pay attention to the small things... and I have to say that I LOVE how it comes packaged. Every detail is attended to with Bosca products. This was my first purchase, and won't be the last.
