To this end, the Division of Student Affairs complements and supplements the academic enterprise, maintaining both a climate on campus and range of programs that enhance student learning and personal growth.
Dean of Students
The Office of the Dean of Students serves to facilitate the lifelong development of students through programs and services that enhance scholarship, citizenship, an inclusive community, and integrity, and that support the mission of The University of Alabama. This objective is accomplished through leadership programs, greek affairs, the on-call dean program, University Programs, cultural enrichment, membership in student organizations, and student self-governance. The office also seeks to serve as a starting point for students and parents who have questions or concerns and for those students seeking to become involved. The dean's staff is trained to facilitate problem solving and referral when needed. The major program components are as follows:
Coordinating Council for Student Organizations (CCSO). CCSO is the student coordinating body that supports nearly 300 registered student organizations. The council encourages student participation through publicity campaigns and provides meeting and fund management training.

The staff assists with programs such as leadership development, scholarship, and associate member education. The office provides a resource center for chapter officers and advisors and house managers, maintains contact with international office and alumni groups, and administers campus policies pertaining to greek organizations.
On-Call Dean. The on-call dean program is designed to assist students in crisis and to provide a link for parents who may be great distances from the campus. The on-call dean will assist students who have life, health, or family emergencies and other life problems when assistance is needed.

Housing and Residential Communities
The residential campus is a vital part of the University. Three kinds of campus housing are available: residence halls, undergraduate campus apartments, and graduate campus apartments.
There are real advantages to living on campus. Campus residents often cite the convenience of campus residence facilities to classrooms, libraries, and student activities; the carefully selected and trained staff; the programs and functions geared to students' academic and social needs; the chance to meet all kinds of students; and ready information about University events. These benefits reflect the University's commitment to maintaining a residential program that helps students develop to their fullest academic and personal potential.
Residence halls. The different campus residence halls can house varied numbers of students, from 100 to 960; about 6,000 students can live in the halls. Amenities in the halls are diverse, ranging from double rooms and suites to singles. The halls are regularly maintained and updated with concern for both their attractiveness and the academic environment they provide.

A Southeast Washington pediatrician has been charged with possession of pornography depicting children, officials said.
Robert Paul Dickey, 73, who runs his medical office out of his home, was charged after FBI agents who arrived at his office on May 8 found him on a computer looking at a website that features child porn. He was held without bond and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 23.
News of Dickey's arrest sent shock waves through the area as parents of patients feared that he may have taken pictures of their children. Authorities said there is no evidence that Dickey had taken or possessed images of children he had worked with in his decades-old practice.
@DezilagelZsaZsa, who indicated she was a former patient, tweeted of the popular pediatrician: "Young OMG I Know Everybody Went to Dr. Dickey Smh…He Used To Give Me All The Stickers..I Wonder…"
According to information posted online, Dickey has practiced for about 40 years.
The website vital.com said Dickey was affiliated with two practices in California where recorded messages on telephone lines indicated they were no longer in business. It also stated that he was affiliated with Children's National Medical Center, but a spokeswoman for the hospital said he is not on staff there.
"He refers patients to Children's," said hospital spokeswoman Paula Darte. "I don't think he's been on site. He has the ability to refer people here…Most of the pediatricians in the D.C. area refer patients to us when they have complex needs or acute care needs."
The charging document in the case details the events that led to the arrest of Dickey after safeguards set up to protect children caught him in a snare intended for child predators. The document said that around April 10, police received a "cyber tip" from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children based on information that agency had been provided by Microsoft Corp. The tip provided to authorities indicated that "an individual with the Microsoft Outlook email address [email protected] and the user name Robert Dickey ("defendant")"…uploaded approximately 14 images of child pornography."
The images included images of children's nude bodies and of children engaging in sexual acts with adults.
Authorities issued a subpoena for Dickey's IP address. At the same time, investigators were staking out his home/office. They traced a car parked at the property to him through motor vehicle records.
The next day, officers returned to serve a search warrant. Inside the home, they found two exam rooms. The facility "appeared dirty, cluttered, and unkempt." Dickey had 20 patients to the books to be seen that day.
"Officers observed the defendant had been viewing a website with child pornography and child erotica on the desktop computer when they entered the office," the document said.
Child welfare advocates praised Microsoft and the Alexandria-based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, where experts comb the Internet searching for people uploading inappropriate images of children or trying to lure children into sexual activity.
"The system worked," said a D.C. social worker, who did not want to be identified. "The safeguards are in place to catch predators. There is a concerted effort to take down these criminals and it looks like this is a prime example of private industry and law enforcement working together to protect children."
According to authorities, Dickey lives at the home with two of his grandsons, an infant and a 9-year-old. It could not be determined if he is raising them alone or if other adults reside there.
Police seized a Dell desktop computer and an additional hard drive. Dickey admitted searching for graphic images of children.
"The defendant, in a recorded statement, stated…that he visits child pornography sites, downloads child pornography and stores it on an external hard drive," the charging document said.
Dickey is charged with possession of child pornography and receipt of child pornography, which carry a statutory maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 and a maximum of 20 years and a fine of up to $250,000, respectively.

Fire Dancers
Truly a sight to behold, fire dancing enchants audiences young and old. Typically associated with tropical cultures such as those found in Hawaii and Polynesia, fire dancers use dozens of tools in their art. From wick-equipped sticks and chains to knives and hoops, fire dancing involves igniting the apparatus into flames, then performing acrobatic, gymnastic or dance moves while twirling the fire. The shapes and illusions a fire dancer creates with his/her flame can be quite captivating. You don't have to go all the way to Hawaii to find professional fire dancers.
Polynesian Drummers
During the 20th century. the Tahitian drum dance (öte'a ) has become a symbol of Polynesia representing for Westerners, the myth ol the "Pacific islands paradise". Let Island Time Rentals take you away as you sitback and relax while enjoying the enchanting souds of authentic Tahitian drum dances.

Island Time Rental along with Drums of Polynesis are excited to be able to bring that trafional spirit of the Luau to your event.

ATLANTA -- The crowd overflowed to back an autism bill declared all but dead this legislative session. This hearing, they hoped, was more than a consolation prize.
Ava Bullard was present, distributing stickers to backers of the legislation. She is the south Georgia girl for whom the the bill is named. Ava's Law would require health insurance plans to provide coverage for the one-in-88 children diagnosed with autism.
MORE | Complete coverage of The Autism Gap: The Fight for Insurance
The eight year old's expensive treatment at an early age allowed her to move out of special education classes. It's treatment other families lacking insurance coverage mostly can't afford.
"My son has never said 'mama.' He can't say his name. He can't say 'I love you,'" Meg Andrade told lawmakers. Her son, Devon, is 11. He also attended the hearing, though he is unable to speak more than two words.
For Anna Bullard, Ava's mother, the hearing capped weeks of lobbying in the Capitol.
She and other backers -- including the families of children with autism -- worked the General Assembly on behalf of a bill that's still opposed by much of the insurance industry.
They pleaded a case that included data they say shows that autism treatment can cost more than a million dollars over a lifetime - yet coverage would only increase premiums by thirty two cents per month.
"Who's going to answer to our children?" asked Kathleen Laird, whose 11 year old son Davis does 22 hours of therapy per week. "These kids who don't have a voice?'
The emotion of the moment didn't necessarily overcome the cold politics of the legislature.
"There's a lot of bills that take a long time, and especially mandate bills," said Sen. Renee Unterman (R-Buford), who sat through most of the hearing and has challenged the cost analyses provided by backers of the bill. "I know I've worked on cervical cancer. I worked on (mammograms) and breast cancer. I've worked on many, many, many mandates and they take a long time."
The autism bill is assigned to a commission due to study it six more months.
"We still want a shot to get passed this session," said Anna Bullard, knowing that the bill hasn't gotten a vote, isn't scheduled for a vote and missed the "crossover day" cut last week, which typically kills legislation that hasn't passed one of the two legislative chambers.
The hearing nonetheless produced at least a thin ray of renewed optimism-- for a bill with motivated and persistent backers.

|MMH hires family nurse practitioner
|Written by Chris Lee
A new family nurse practitioner was hired by MMH and was scheduled to begin orientation Monday, Oct. 1, according to MMH administrator John Ayoub.
Ayoub informed East Phillips County Hospital Board members of the hire during their regular meeting Tuesday, Sept. 25.
Dixie Ishee has joined the staff at MMH and signed a three-year contract.
Ayoub said Ishee comes to Holyoke with tons of experience. She has spent years as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, as well as a lawyer.
Ayoub said Ishee comes from a small town, so the smaller atmosphere should be familiar to her.
Ishee began orientation Monday and should be seeing patients within a week or two.
MMH goes live with EMRs
Ayoub reported MMH went live with the electronic medical records Sept. 11. He said a team from NextGen was on site during the go-live process to oversee and help with any issues.
"I could not be more proud of our staff. The effort, the preparation, the perseverance that went into getting us to where we could push the button," Ayoub said. "We did have what I determine a successful go-live."
The administrator did say this was the biggest culture shift the organization has experienced since its inception.
Ayoub quoted board member Harlan Stern. "Everybody loves progress, but nobody likes change." He said the staff has been working extra hard during the transition period.
Ayoub said there have been no big issues or complications with patient care, but the change is frustrating. "We're going to get through this and we'll be just fine."
"I think the future is very bright," Ayoub added.
Administrator reports activity
Ayoub reported the new provider recruitment video was uploaded to YouTube Monday, Sept. 24 and staff is beginning to spread it around in hopes of finding a new doctor. The video will be uploaded to the hospital's website after a coding issue is taken care of. He noted the video was shown to the Holyoke Chamber of Commerce board earlier in the day at a meeting in the hospital and all were impressed.
He informed the board he has been elected as the president for the Colorado Rural Health Center board.
Ayoub also reported a first responder class is currently in the works with NJC for those interested in taking it in Holyoke.
Other business
In other business Sept. 25, board members:
—swore in new board member Michael Woodhead. "We appreciate your willingness to serve," board chair Steve Young told Woodhead during last week's meeting.
—held a 76-minute executive session for items pertaining to an ongoing investigation and strategies for negotiations.
—authorized Ayoub to sign a contract for interim medical records support for up to three months.
—reimbursed Steve Young for travel fees spent attending the Colorado Hospital Association annual meeting in Vail.
—noted the next board meeting will be held Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 5:30 p.m.

Technical FAQ with Lennard Zinn: Blowing up tires, taking them off, and more
- By Lennard Zinn
- Published Oct. 19, 2010
- Updated Oct. 21, 2010 at 4:28 PM EDT
Regarding the questions about different gases escaping differently from tires, it occurred to me to tell you about Prestacycle's new product, just introduced at Interbike. Prestacycle is the company famous for the Prestaflator, a must-have tool for bike shops, which makes inflating tires to proper pressure with an air compressor quicker, easier, and more accurate. Its new product, Prestaflator 2go, is a small nitrogen tank that can inflate 40 tires. With hose and regulator, it sells for $130.
You may well wonder why you'd want to inflate a tire with $3 worth of nitrogen instead of with free air. David Finlayson, Prestacycle founder and president, claims that a tire holds nitrogen pressure six times longer than it does with air. He explains that it is the oxygen that escapes fastest, so eliminating it keeps tires tight longer.
The Prestaflator 2go hose and regulator actually works with both nitrogen tanks and CO2 tanks. But, as we've discussed, CO2 leaks out faster than air. (Editor's note: See David Finlayson's clarification in the comments section below this article) With such a little tank (20oz.), 3000 – 4000 psi is required to inflate so many tires, namely 40 road tires from empty to 120 psi with a single tank. The tank can be hung from a user's belt, so it is particularly applicable for running around and inflating tires quickly at a race or other bike event.
Also, a welder's nitrogen tank can be installed in a bike shop and attached to a (standard) Prestaflator. Prestacycle recently acquired the Web address "bikenitrogen.com." The site has yet to be built, but Finlayson plans to document on it the installation of a welder's tank, which welding suppliers could deliver to bike shops. Tank swap-out costs around $30 and should inflate thousands of tires. The potential benefits include:
- 1. No air compressor noise (when the compressor runs).
- 2. No electricity needed.
- 3. No moisture going into tires. Nitrogen inflation is dry and should be better for rubber, rims and tire valves.
- 4. Potential to hold pressure longer.
- 5. Potential to reduce heat in tires, resulting in lower rolling resistance.
- Finlayson claims that items 4 and 5 are widely claimed in automotive and motorcycle circles.
To those who think that nitrogen tire inflation is a bit over the top, Finlayson says, "Remember that a 100-mile bike race is often won by only inches. Even the smallest difference in tire pressure loss reduction or rolling resistance can make the difference at the line."
Getting tires off
Prestacycle's other new tool introduced at Interbike is a tire lever with some unique features. The patent pending Prestalever tire tool, available January 1, has a second hook on the backside near the tip, as well as an insert in the handle end for holding steel driver bits. The Prestalever hooks over the rim as well as under the tire bead, so the user can just slide it around the rim and remove the tire very quickly. The lever plus a tiny set of tool bits replaces an entire multi tool with a set of levers (except for the chain tool), thus saving weight and space.
I've been using a prototype Prestalever (without the bit-holding insert), for a couple of weeks now and find it amazing. It does what the Quik-Stik () and original Crank Brothers tire levers promise to do for removing tires, but I find it to be easier and faster to use than either, thanks to the notch on the back of the head. (Arguably, the Quik-Stik offers a second feature, namely mounting tires quickly).
I find that with the Prestalever, I can just dig the lever under the bead, hook the backside notch over the rim, and slide it around. I pride myself at being able to remove tires with only my hands faster than most people can do it with levers, but now I no longer have any desire to do so! The only time the process slows down is if the inner tube is very strongly adhered to the inner tire; then I really have to push down hard on the tire as I begin moving the lever to free the bead enough to come out over the rim.
Though bigger and less appealing for carry-along purposes, Prestacycle will soon offer a "Pro" tool-bit set as well. This presumably is to use with its mini ratchet wrenches, but these bits (like all mini bits) would also work with power drivers and mini torque wrenches. Made from hardened S2 steel, the Pro bits have long shanks and will provide extended life. The long bits promise to be a big benefit for getting under brake hoods to remove road levers.
Holding tires on
The new Hed 5 carbon tubular wheel is intended for rough cobblestone racing like in Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders, as well as for cyclocross. The rim is wide — as wide as a tubular's base tape, in fact — and is aerodynamically as well as glue-dynamically (no, there's no such word) optimized for a 25mm-width tire. And the fiber layup is designed to maximize bump absorption, not stiffness. "This is not a sprinter's wheel," remarked Steve Hed at Interbike.
Hed pioneered (followed by Zipp and others) the concept of a rim/tire combination whose widest point is behind the tire, so it forms a more idealized wing section whose leading edge is narrower than a point further back along the wing. The rim is as wide as 27mm behind the brake track.
The glue channel has a larger (12.5mm) radius of curvature, so the wider tire mates perfectly with it. The extra rim width and the lower-curvature glue channel together make the glue bond to fatter tires second to none.
The new OCTTO wheel from Mondo Design in Canada similarly has a low-radius glue channel optimized for a 25mm tire. Its rim width is not wide like Hed's, but I just glued a pair of 32mm cyclocross tubulars onto a set of them. I'll let you know how they work as 'cross season progresses.
Prestacycle's nitrogen-filled Prestaflate tank sells for $130 and can inflate 40 tires.
Prestacycle founder and president David Finlayson shows off the belt hook on the nitrogen Prestaflate tank.
Hed 5.1
The Hed 5 is optimized for a 700 X 25mm tubular
Hed 5
The top of the rim of the Hed 5 Paris-Roubaix/cyclocross wheel is as wide as the base tape of a tubular tire.
Hed Ardennes and Hed 5
The aluminum Hed Ardennes and carbon Hed 5 both have wide rims and low-curvature glue channels meant for wider tires and rougher riding.
The PrestaLever, now just in prototype form, will be able to hold tool bits in the handle.
Prestacycle Pro Bits
Longer and harder than standard mini tool bits, these are versatile shop tools.
The PrestaLever, available Jan. 1, has a second hook for the rim, and a tool bit holder in the handle.

text: I am requesting any recommendations regarding a good pair of warm and truly waterproof gloves that have been tried and tested in the field. I need a pair of gloves which will hold up to 5-7 days of backpack hunting in the backcountry. I have had two pairs of "waterproof gortex" gloves with thinsulate which grossly failed when field tested in the elements. I am looking to find a pair of gloves which actually does what it claims. Thanks in advance!

The Car Craft LookWritten by on October 28, 2013 Groovy Graphics and Illuminating Illustrations Gave CC's Pages Personality
Insightful writing and exceptional editing do not make a magazine great. Words have weight, but intriguing design and stunning photography give a publication personality. While the names of publishers and editors occupy the top spots on the staff roster, it is the unsung art directors, photographers, and illustrators who give a magazine its distinctive look. On the long and winding road that Car Craft has traveled in the last 60 years, the magazine has displayed a riotous variety of styles that reflected both the fashions and the technology of the times—for better and for worse.
Just as electronics transformed automobiles, computers revolutionized magazine production. Car Craft (and its forefather, HONK!) was born in the era of hot type, its pages composed on immense Linotype machines with molten lead. Car features were clustered in rich, green-tinted sections printed with the vintage rotogravure process—and color was a rarity.
By the 1970s, Petersen Publishing had moved Car Craft to photocomposition and computer-generated type, giving the next generation of art directors more creative freedom. Craziness flourished as graphic artists experimented with new styles, radical photo treatments, and unconventional layouts. Although still expensive and time-consuming to produce, color features became more common in the magazine's pages.
The advent of the Digital Age in the 1990s again transformed magazine production. Waxed type, T-squares, X-Acto knives, and the other tools of manual paste up became obsolete, as articles were written, composed, and prepared for press on computer screens. Film, transparencies, and four-color separations became archaic technology, since digital images captured in photographers' cameras could be transferred directly to design programs. The advent of digital publishing and the ability to deliver periodicals electronically at Internet speed eliminated the soaring costs of paper, printing, and postage.
Each successive wave of technology made an impact on Car Craft's look. Artwork that was once painstakingly done by hand, either in a camera, in a darkroom, or on a drawing board could now be created digitally. Surveying the musty issues of this periodical's 60-year history, the richness of the old-school images and layouts still resonates, a stark contrast to the high energy of today's full-color Loud-Fast-Real design.
To put Car Craft's milestone 60th anniversary in musical terms, the magazine has outlasted 45 rpm singles, vinyl albums, four-track tapes, eight-tracks, audio cassettes, and compact discs—and continues to prosper in these days of digital downloads. Long may it run.
Groovy Graphics
The times, they were a-changin' in the Psychedelic Sixties. An influx of young, longhaired editors and artists transformed Car Craft from a middle-of-the-road magazine into one of the freakiest titles on the newsstand.
With editorial offices on Sunset Blvd., Car Craft was in the white-hot center of Hollywood's rock 'n' roll scene. The move to hardcore drag racing coverage was accompanied by an infusion of wild, crazy graphics inspired by rock albums, festival posters, and pop art. These graphic special effects, such as solarizations, reversals, and negative images, and so on, were produced the old-fashioned way: in the darkroom. Decades before digital photo manipulation programs could alter an image with the click of a mouse, these alterations were done with chemicals, film, and photo paper. Some were simply happy accidents, and others perhaps the result of pharmaceutically enhanced genius.
Car Craft Cutaways
A long-running series of illustrated Car Craft Cutaways was one of the hallmarks of the magazine's addiction to drag racing in the 1960s and 1970s. Artist Steve Swaja's rendering of the Scrima-Bacilek-Milodon dragster in Feb. 1965 reflected Car Craft's ongoing infatuation with streamlined dragsters. Despite the mounting evidence that the weight, complexity, and questionable aerodynamics of early streamliners was a dead end for development, Swaja also penned streamlined designs for Don Garlits and Tommy Ivo. Other subjects for Swaja's pen-and-ink artistry included cutaways of George Montgomery's all-conquering Willys Gasser and Tom McEwen's rear-engined Hemi Cuda Funny Car.
X-Ray Images and a Ride With The Snake
Transparent images, aka see-through or "ghost" photos, complemented CC's cutaway illustrations. Before the advent of Photoshop and similar digital retouching programs, these intriguing images were produced in a camera by double-exposing the film.

Car Craft went where no car magazine had gone before, with psychedelic photographic effects such as these examples from the May 1970 issue's Funny Car pictorial. "Graphic trickery that attempts to capture the action of the sport's most exciting cars," the text explained.The Feb. 1970 cover embraced Flower Power in its rendering of the Rod Shop super team in classic Mod Squad–inspired style.A groovy graphic collaboration by photographer Kim Tucker and artist Bill Duffus kicked off a special Funny Car section in the June 1971 issue with this solarized image of John Lombardo's Camaro FC. Andy Warhol would have understood.When Swaja decided to focus on his commercial art, William A. Moore became CC's go-to guy for cutaways. Moore did X-ray illustrations of Preston Honea's Rambler Marlin Funny Car (yes, really), Alan Green's Chevrolet fastback Nova, Jack Chrisman's flip-top Comet Cyclone roadster Funny Car, the Stone-Woods-Cook Mustang Funny Car, and many more. Moore didn't limit himself to drag racing subjects—he did a cutaway of Bud Moore's Cougar Trans-Am road racer forMulti-talented Kenny Youngblood not only designed and lettered many of the top drag racing cars, but he also illustrated them for Car Craft. Youngblood's cutaways of Don Prudhomme's Hot Wheels wedge dragster (Aug. 1971) and Gary Gabelich's four-wheel-drive Vega Funny Car (Dec. 1971) gave readers an inside look at these innovative machines that they couldn't see elsewhere. Youngblood did doorslammers, too: His X-ray drawing of Tom and Jim Tignanelli's Super Stock Plymouth was featured in the centerspread in Oct. 1973.In contrast to the stark line-drawing cutaways, Shusei Nagaoka's rich color illustration of Tommy Grove's Mustang accompanied an article on Funny Car chassis evolution in June 1971. Nagaoka also pictured the new generation of compact Pro Stocks in Apr. 1972, before the real cars had been completed and photographed. CC scooped the competition with the first look at the highly anticipated race cars from Bill Jenkins (Vega), Wally Booth (Gremlin), Don Nicholson (Pinto), and Sox & Martin (Duster).Tom West succeeded Moore as the magazine's technical illustrator in Dec. '69 with a cutaway of Don Kirby's Beach City Chevrolet Corvette Funny Car. A self-taught artist, West brought a new style to the traditional cutaway, using pencil instead of ink and adding layers of detail to his drawings. West's subjects included Charlie Allen's Dart Funny Car, Gene Snow's Rambunctious Charger, Don Schumacher's Cuda, Tex Collins' Allison-powered Mustang, and other prominent Funny Cars of the day.

Late TD Helps TCU Defeat Iowa State, 21-17
AMES, Iowa – TCU's Trevone Boykin scored on a one-yard run with 38 seconds remaining as the Horned Frogs rallied to defeat Iowa State, 21-17, Saturday afternoon at Jack Trice Stadium in front of an announced attendance of 54,922. With the loss, Iowa State falls to 1-8 overall and 0-6 in Big 12 play. TCU improves to 4-6 overall and 2-5 in conference play.
Turning Point of the Game
After trailing 14-7 at the half, Iowa State held a 17-14 lead as the game moved to the fourth quarter but the Cyclones were unable to increase the lead. The Horned Frogs took over at their own 42-yard line with just 2:34 remaining and ran 10 plays that resulted in Boykin's sneak with just 38 seconds left. ISU was able to move the ball to its own 45 but that was all the closer it would get as TCU held on for its second Big 12 win.
Discuss it now. Visit our facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
Offensive Game Ball Goes To...
E.J. Bibbs finished with a career-high seven catches for 63 yards in the loss. Bibbs, who has at least two catches in all nine games this season, is the first Cyclone tight end since Collin Franklin to catch at least seven balls in a game.
Bibbs now has 29 catches this season.
Defensive Game Ball Goes To...
Jeremiah George saw his double-digit tackle streak come to an end at seven games as the senior made a team-high nine stops. But the Clearwater, Fla. native still had a significant impact on the game, making one tackle for a loss and also picking off a pass in the fourth quarter for his second interception this season.

Convicted felons are just that.....FELONS! If someone commits a serious crime (a felony), that should have to pay for it. What the hells the difference between a bow and a firearm! Both can be considered a dangerous weapon. Would you like to have an arrow shot at you, heaven forbid it hit you. We are splitting hairs here. While not concealable, a bow is just as dangerous as a gun. In the wrong hands, its lethal! A lot of this discussion is about the moralistic ideas of crime and punishment, of which we as a civilization (and a nation) have not been able to agree on for centuries.
Guess I don't have to tell you my opinion.

On a sunny, but regular spring day in early March I staked out a particular spot near Amstel river to shoot a few pictures.
I also decided to record this on film, to put this photography exercise in perspective for other people than yourself (who's familiar with 'bikeAMS'). Yes, indeed, I'm often told I'm 'selective' or 'biased'.
Have a great (cycling) weekend.

Chicken Paprikash Soup
Carol Bobal...kind of rich, but ohhhh so yummy!
Get out your dutch oven ~ Melt butter, and sauté these first few ingredients until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked through.
1½ to 2 lbs. chicken (white) cut into cubes
1 cup of celery, chopped
1 cup of onion, diced
1 stick of butter
1 tablespoon paprika
2- 14 oz. cans of chicken broth
4 soup cans of water
Bring to a light boil and add:
1- 5 oz. box of Spaetzel
Simmer for about 20 minutes, until Spaetzel is tender.
Add soups and sour cream, mix well and heat through.
1- 10 3/4 oz.can cream of celery soup
1- 10 3/4 oz.can cream of onion soup
1- 10/3/4 oz.can cream of chicken soup
1 to 2 cups sour cream
- Makes a hearty, thick soup that all my taste testers loved!
- Spaetzle [SHPEHT-sluh; SHPEHT-sehl; SHPEHT-slee] is a little German dumpling. Usually served as a side dish, it is literally translated as "little sparrow" and made with flour, eggs, water or milk, salt and sometimes nutmeg.
- Dried Spaetzel is found in the pasta aisle. You can also use frozen, generally found in the frozen foods or meat case by the mashed potatoes, dumplings, etc.

the only mechanical I'm sold on is the Rage 2 blade.
I would say Most fixed blades will do the job Most of the time.
I would say Most mechanicals will not.
to each their own, I'm surprised so many bowhunters are constantly changing their setups, I understand wanting to constantly improve but why chance what works? or why fix what's not broken?
I think most guys would be better off getting to know their "older" equipment precisely than every year trying a new broadhead etc...
I use to shoot muzzy's 3 blade 100gr, I now only shoot rage 2 blade, if I ever go back to a fixed broadhead I'll probably shoot what my dad only shoots from day 1 his whole bowhunting career, NAP razorbak 100gr, 2blade w/2 bleeder blades w/rotating technology cut on contact.

According to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, a leading indicator of new business creation in the United States, men are "substantially more likely to start a business each month than women". In the seventeen year period from 1996 – 2012, the average rate of entrepreneurial activity for men was .37 percent; for women during the same period it was .23 percent.
Entrepreneurship is flourishing on campuses around the country. In classrooms and through co-curricular programs and competitions, students on diverse campuses, at universities large and small, representing disciplines across the spectrum, have the opportunity to understand the role of entrepreneurship in the economy, explore innovation, test their own ideas, and learn what they need to know to be entrepreneurs.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
Leaving presentations to chance is like embarking on a trip without a map (hat tip to Amanda Schnieders for the metaphor). If you don't know where you're headed and how you'll get there, you may not reach your destination.
Some of the very first decisions founders must make early on in their ventures are crucially important to the future of the business. Many of these decisions concern the ubiquitous "people problems" that challenge even experienced entrepreneurs. When should I found? Should I co-found with someone? With whom? How should we split the equity? Bad or ill-informed choices at critical junctures could have significant consequences for startups. In fact, research has suggested that 65 percent of new firm failures were related to problems within the management team.
When I read Meg Hirshberg's book "For Better or for Work: A Survival Guide for Entrepreneurs and Their Families" I knew instantly that I wanted Meg to join our slate of Founders School experts. The goal of Founders School is to provide entrepreneurs with crucial skills and knowledge, and to do so with an eye to topics that are important but rarely discussed in typical entrepreneurship education programs. The subject of Meg's book is just such a topic. We all know that entrepreneurs have to juggle a variety of considerations when founding a company: team building, assessment of product/market fit, intellectual property, and how to get that first important customer. What many entrepreneurs and, more importantly, their families, know is that there's a juggle on the family side of the equation as well, but it's one that many entrepreneurs may be reluctant to talk about.
"No business plan survives first contact with customers," Steve Blank says. What? Isn't the point of planning that you maximize the likelihood of success in the marketplace? Well yes, but perhaps not the kind of planning you might be thinking about. A business plan conceived on paper, powered by a great idea or invention, enhanced by research on the size of the market and a customer profile, has great potential. But it also has a crucial flaw.
