"It sucks."
That's how Kim Clijsters described how she was feeling after being comprehensively destroyed 6-0, 6-1 in the Aussie Open third round by Nadia Petrova. It was a 52 minute drubbing that left the U.S. Open champ and the Rod Laver Arena crowd stunned.
The Belgian hit a measly 5 winners against 29 UEs while her Russian foe ended with 15 winners and 10 UEs. And even though she had a 58% success of first serves, she only won 21% of the time when she had to throw in a second delivery. Double OUCH.
Afterwards, Kimmie could offer little to explain the dismal performance:
Q. Are you wracking your brain about why?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Of course. It's something that you know as an athlete that can happen once in a while. Like I said, once in a while, once a year, hopefully not more than that. But, uhm, yeah, the question is of course, Why? My coach, my fitness coach, are like, How can something like this happen?
We haven't changed anything really. That's the thing. That's probably the most frustrating thing about this. But then again, what is more frustrating: playing like this or getting beaten when you play your best? I lost because it was my fault.
My opponent, okay, she was better, but I didn't give her, you know, the best Kim out there today. And I think ‑‑ 'cause that's even more frustrating, knowing you get beaten at your best. That's probably even more frustrating.
I wish I could have brought that today because then I know I would have had a better shot at this.
Q. Have you felt like this before?
KIM CLIJSTERS: I'm sure it's happened before, you know, that I felt like I really couldn't hit the ball, like I wasn't hitting the ball well, that I wasn't feeling well out there. But obviously not in the last few years, I don't think so.
Q. With this game, do you burn the tape, forget it happened?
KIM CLIJSTERS: Yeah, this is something probably you want to forget as soon as possible and go home and, you know, just let it sit, get settled at home for a few days and then start working hard again and try to forget about it. Just stick to the routines. Everything I've been doing so far with my coach, my fitness coach, everything has been going really well. I'm going to try to not let a match like this get me down or start doubting myself or anything.
I've played some good tennis here, especially last week in Brisbane. I think that's what I want to try to take away from this trip. It's too bad it didn't happen here in Melbourne.
UGH. It's one thing to lose in the third round of a major. It's a whole other thing to do it against Nads with a score like 6-0, 6-1. Kimmie was completely out of sorts and dismantled in a tourney she was the co-fave to take, which I think caused this lackluster performance. The expectations were high here, unlike her winning run to the U.S. Open crown where she came in as a wild card and only hoped to do her best. She always had difficulties being a favorite, a front runner and it seems those demons may still be lurking somewhere. She'll be smart to forget this bad loss and look forward to the rest of the season.
In terms of the draw, Justine Henin looks to have a clear path to the semifinals now that both Kimmie + Elena Dementieva are out of that section. If she makes it there, she's slated to meet second seed Dinara Safina, whose path was cleared a bit after eighth seed Jelena Jankovic was upset by Alona Bondarenko today. The Russian will have to get by a streaking Maria Kirilenko, though, in the fourth round and the winner of A-Bon + Jie Zheng in the quarters (not a sure bet these days.)
Oh yeah, one more thing: I think we can stop calling Kim's return a 'comeback' now. She's been officially welcomed back. Thanks Nads.

Tuesday News, September 18
Train - Car Collision At Hinton
(Hinton) -- Another car and train collision occurred last evening. This time it was at County Road C-60 and Highway 75 at the intersection in the middle of Hinton. Little is known about the accident at this time, other than it happened at about 7:50 p.m. and injuries were involved. The Hinton Fire and Rescue Department was at the scene for nearly an hour.
Plymouth County Supervisors To Meet
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Board of Supervisors are scheduled to meet today. The supervisors are expected to certify and canvass the results of the Akron-Westfield Physical Plant and Equipment Levy vote for the Akron-Westfield school district. The supervisors will review a letter to the Northwest Iowa Development regarding Foreign Trade Zone. The supervisors will also review and approve the resignation of Blaine Donaldson for various county committees. County engineer, Tom Rohe will update the supervisors on construction projects, as well as review a request from Southern Sioux Rural Water association.
City Council To Discuss Westmar Buildings During Council Meeting
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars City Council will again discuss the Madison Avenue water main extension and improvements during their regularly scheduled meeting for today. In addition, the city council will review a purchase proposal for the former Westmar College Charles Mock Library, as well as take action on the Kime Science Center asbestos removal.
National Farm Safety Week
(Le Mars) -- This week marks National Farm Safety Week. A week devoted to the awareness of the many dangers on the farm. La Vonne Galles, local coordinator of Agri-Safe of Plymouth County, a part of Floyd Valley Hospital, reminds farmers to know at all times where children are located. She says the grain trucks and wagons, and grain bins can often times be a "playground for children". Tractor roll-overs, according to Galles, still ranks as the top cause for farm related fatalities. Galles says farmers need to keep all shields in place and to stop the machine before working on it to prevent entanglements. Galles reminds farmers that they should have their equipment properly marked with slow moving vehicle signs and amber flashing lights when traveling on the roadways. Since we have another dry year, Galles suggests farmers equip their combines with a fire extinguisher. She also asks farmers to take some breaks during the hectic harvest season.
Listen to
Because of the drought, there are many corn fields that are affected with aflatoxin. Galles says this year, farmers should wear a mask or a breathing apparatus when entering grain bins.
Listen to
Each year, there are more than 300 deaths due to farm-related accidents.
Farmers Are Three Weeks Ahead of Normal Schedule With Harvest
(Des Moines) -- Farmers are about three weeks ahead of normal harvesting schedules, according to the latest weekly crop report, and many farmers are reporting this year has been the earliest that they have been in the fields. Farmers have been able to harvest at least 22 percent of the corn crop, and six percent of the soybean crop. Northwest Iowa is leading the way for the soybean harvest with 12 percent already harvested.
Voters Choose Early Voting
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Early voting appears to be gaining in popularity, with requests for ballots in Polk County about 30 percent higher than they were at this time in 2008.
Polk County Jamie Fitzgerald says that there had been 21,995 requests as of Monday. That's far ahead of the total in 2008 at this point, with about seven weeks before the election.
The secretary of state's office says more than 128,000 Iowans had requested ballots as of Friday. Nearly 70 percent were by Democrats and 12 percent Republicans.
David Kochel, with the Romney campaign, says the difference in the parties' early voting numbers is because Republicans focus on supporters who are less likely to vote, while Democrats encourage
early voters by anyone in the party.
Biden and Ryan Campaign in Iowa
BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) - Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan told voters in Iowa that the nation needs Mitt Romney to reduce government spending.
Vice President Joe Biden was in Iowa too, telling voters that Romney is "totally out of touch" with the realities that everyday Americans face.
The running mates visited Iowa on Monday to present two widely different views on the nation's future. They are scheduled to meet in a nationally televised debate next month.
Biden visited the Mississippi River town of Burlington while Ryan spoke to voters in the capital of Des Moines.
Ryan says that cutting back on government spending makes sense to the frugal residents of Iowa and those in his home state of Wisconsin. Biden assures Iowans that President Barack Obama
understands their lives.

WINTERSVILLE-With their standout post player slowed by an ankle injury, the Indian Creek girls' basketball team needed someone else to step up during Monday's Buckeye 8 battle with Martins Ferry.
Guards Brooke Mains and Bethany Davis proved they were ready for the challenge.
They keyed a scoring burst that allowed the Redskins to break open a tight contest and earn a 47-36 victory. It was the second triumph in five days for Erin DeSantis' club against the Riders (Creek recorded a 50-37 victory on Ferry's floor Thursday).
The Redskins (11-5) remain in contention for an OVAC Class 5A playoff spot. Creek entered the week in fifth place. Ferry (10-7), stands third in Class 4A.
Down 18-14 at the half, Lindsay Coyne's crew sliced the deficit to one on a hoop by Tyrah King and a Jessica Kinney free throw. Mains then drilled a 3-pointer and Davis followed with a make from the line to spark an 8-0 Creek run. Mains swished two free tosses and Kiarra Kamarec got a deuce to give the hosts a double-digit lead at 29-19.
Davis' basket as time was expiring allowed Creek to take a 31-20 advantage into the final eight minutes. Mains, a junior, and Davis, a freshman, combined for nine of Creek's 13 third-quarter points.
Ferry stayed close thanks to 3-pointers by Kylie Stalder (2) and Addie Suriano but the Redskins put the victory on ice, hitting12 of 18 free throw attempts in the fourth. During the second half, Creek went to the line 28 times, making 16.
Mains paced the Redskins in scoring with12. Sophomore post player Bre Berryman, who sat out the fourth quarter last week at Ferry, added 11. Davis contributed 10 and Kamarec eight.
Berryman was able to collect 18 of her team's 34 rebounds and block seven shots.
"Just her presence on the floor is big thing for us," DeSantis added. "Our confidence level goes up whether she is scoring or not. As of Friday, I didn't think she was going to play. The injury obviously affected her but she is fighting through it."
Kinney paced the Riders in scoring with 11, seven coming from the line.
Ferry took 50 shots Monday, but made11.
Kinney, King and Megan Rose hauled down six rebounds each for the Riders.
"Pretty soon, everybody is going to be zero and zero," Coyne said. "I hope we can improve offensively and be ready to go after it. Defensively, we are there. We are gritty and we give it our all."

Well, the author using 'straw person', as can be seen from the quotation in the first paragraph (from p92 of the book). Perhaps they're poking a little fun at the way the author uses it. Or perhaps they agree with the author that we should stop using 'straw man', and they're trying to help propagate the term. My bet is on the former.

I'm with the prescriptivists, here. Yes, Glaucon, one can treat a noun as a verb - an adjective as an adverb, a verb as a noun, and so forth. But ought one to do so?
At any rate, I have no problem with gender neutral language. I do find the efforts of some younger academics to create new words (hir, hu, hem) a bit silly. But, then, I'm getting on.

I personally think it is good to use gender-neutral terms whenever possible, but chrono has a point --the reviewer might be poking a bit of fun. Any why not? Most fuckers in this discipline take themselves way too seriously.

You're probably right. In unrelated news, I chair a college committee; yesterday a member contacted me about the meeting minutes (I'm tasked with forwarding them), since they did not mention her requesting that I loan her my Dixon Ticonderoga so should could pencil in her thoughts (writing helped structure her thinking, she told me) on a motion which was tabled after we cycled through several objections.
- March 9, 2011 at 8:06 AM
awesome comment, English Jerk.
- March 9, 2011 at 8:27 AM
I think a straw man is just a scarecrow. I had a professor (now emeritus - age is no excuse for avoiding language that makes being male the norm) who referred to the scarecrow fallacy rather than the straw man fallacy. It's not gender specific but avoids the ackwardness of 'straw person'.
- March 9, 2011 at 10:22 AM
If using the male pronoun and its satellites (as with 'he' and 'straw man') excludes women, and using their female counterparts (as with ships, nations, and the planet itself) objectifies and thus dehumanizes women, I can only conclude that using gender neutral terms -- being a balance between the two -- constitutes a hybrid exclusion and dehumanization.

@ anon: 5:53 So are you implying that the English language be the first Romance language that is gender neutral?
I would suggest taking that up with speakers of French, Italian, and Spanish languages and see how far your quest for gender neutral language goes.
- March 10, 2011 at 2:15 PM
A former colleague of mine -- who, incidentally, was a terrible philosophy instructor, a terrible thinker and a terrible human being -- used the term 'straw figure'. She even stressed the 'figure' when she used it in conversation with anyone who committed the error(?) of saying 'straw man'.
May she rot in Hell.

I find it quite unsettling that I cannot tell if Asur or 2:37 are being sarcastic...
- March 10, 2011 at 9:52 PM
I don't know about 2:37, but I'm being serious; this push to replace gendered pronouns is silly.
We would think intellectually feeble anyone who claimed that one gender was superior to another because the former's pronoun was seen more often in writing.
None of us would take that argument seriously.
If that's true, then the use of gendered pronouns can't be a matter of consequence.
- March 11, 2011 at 12:59 PM
- Ben A. said...
Azur, you seem to be arguing that since an argument for gender superiority based on in-print pronoun frequency would be fallacious (I'd agree), we can conclude that in-print pronoun frequency has no consequences of any kind.
But that's fallacious. Pscyhological effects are not caused exclusively by sound reasoning.
Also, if issues of "staw man" vs "straw person" seem to you to be of such little consequence, why the resistance on your part to a change?
- March 11, 2011 at 2:59 PM
My take is that matters of emotion -- such as how we psychologically feel about something -- are essentially outside of our control, and as such, are essentially random factors.
Since I don't think a random factor can bear any weight as a premise (it makes no sense to say "Given X or ~X, therefore Y"), I don't think they're any use in forming a conclusion -- such as whether or not gendered pronouns should be used in general contexts.
This means that the only consideration here is, in fact, whether something is rationally persuasive.
As to your last, I'm not resistant to people choosing to use "straw person" if that's what tickles them, I'm resistant to being taken as insensitive or worse if I choose the traditional term.
- March 11, 2011 at 10:38 PM
any body who neuters pronouns or terms because of hypersensitivity is a puss filled anus (pick your gender of said orifice).

Frisco, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Sydney Leroux netted the only goal of the
match on Friday as the U.S. women's national team opened its 2014 schedule
with a 1-0 win over Canada in an international friendly at Toyota Stadium.
The Americans, who went unbeaten in 16 matches last year, took the pitch for
their first game of the year missing star forward Alex Morgan due to injury
and midfielder Carli Lloyd due to red card suspension.
Both clubs struggled to find their offensive rhythm over the first quarter-
hour, but the U.S. gradually seized control of the match, creating several
quality scoring chances in the opening 45 minutes.
The best of those chances came in the 39th minute when a free kick from
distance was launched into the penalty area and flicked on by Abby Wambach
before being fired home on the turn by Whitney Engen, but the flag was up for
Canada's best scoring opportunity came just moments later as Christine
Sinclair sent Diana Matheson through on goal, but her shot was pushed wide of
Hope Solo's far post.
The home side finally broke a tense deadlock in the 79th minute when Becky
Sauerbrunn did well to keep possession and get to the end line before flicking
it across the face of goal where Leroux smacked it home with a left-footed
Canada sent numbers forward in search of an equalizer as the fourth official's
board showed three minutes of stoppage time, but the goal never materialized
and the U.S. came away with the victory.
The Americans will next be in action on Feb. 8 against Russia in Boca Raton,

Bloomington, IN (Sports Network) - Cody Zeller recorded 22 points and 10
rebounds to lead top-ranked Indiana past North Dakota State, 87-61, at
Assembly Hall.
Remy Hall added 14 points while shooting 3-for-3 from three-point range for
Indiana (2-0), which improved to 8-0 all-time against Summit League opponents.
Jeremy Hollowell finished with 12 points and Jordan Hulls contributed 11 in
the win.
Marshall Bjorklund had 14 points and Mike Felt netted 11 for the Bison (1-1),
who were coming off a 93-47 season-opening victory over Valley City State.
Indiana opened the game scoring six straight points and never looked back in
the wire-to-wire victory.
The Bison answered with a 5-0 spurt to close the gap to one, but they would
get no closer than that as the Hoosiers responded with a 16-6 run that
included a pair of 3-pointers by Hulls to increase their lead to 22-11 just
past the midpoint of the first half.
North Dakota State later pulled within 24-18 before Indiana closed out the
half outscoring the Bison by a mark of 18-11 en route to a 42-29 advantage at
the break.
The Hoosiers then cruised through the second half, holding at least a nine-
point lead over the final 20 minutes as they gradually pulled away.
Game Notes
It was the first-ever meeting between the teams ... Indiana shot 48.3 percent
from the floor and went 9-for-23 from beyond the arc ... The Bison shot 46
percent and made 8-of-18 three-point attempts ... The Hoosiers held a 37-21
advantage on the glass.

One of Rifle's well-known and long-lived lodging establishments will soon turn out the lights, and the move will mean less revenue to market the city to visitors.
The 31-year-old Rusty Cannon Motel will close for good on Nov. 26, according to general manager Lady Ruiz.
"The Kum and Go next door wanted to buy it, and the owner decided to sell," Ruiz said. "Business has been down."
The Rusty Cannon, 701 Taughenbaugh Blvd., was built in 1981 and opened at the end of the last oil shale boom. Two weeks after it welcomed its first guests, the infamous Black Sunday occurred when Exxon Corporation shut down its Colony oil shale operation, leaving 2,000 workers jobless.
The 88-unit hotel survived the following economic downturn, but business dropped again after the natural gas slowdown a few years ago and increased competition from national hotel chains who built in Rifle during the drilling boom.
Ruiz said the sale will likely mean five office workers and four housekeepers will be out of work. Rusty Cannon owner Bob Cross was said to be in Texas this week and unavailable for comment.
The closure will leave Rifle with five lodging establishments, compared to eight several years ago. City Finance Director Charles Kelty said fewer lodging establishments will mean less revenue from the city's 2.5 percent lodging tax.
That "bed tax" was passed by voters in 2007 and went into effect in January 2008. Revenue raised by the tax goes into a visitor improvement fund, which is supervised by a board. Funds help market Rifle to visitors and pay for improvement projects.
Kelty said the city conservatively estimated $114,715 for the visitor improvement fund in the 2013 budget. That was before the city learned of Rusty Cannon's pending closure. Now, the city will see even less lodging tax revenue, Kelty said.
"I guess you might say there were too many hotels and motels," he added. "We, not the city but the people who wanted to build them, may have overbuilt."
The city council also planned to divert $13,000 from the visitor improvement fund to the renovation of the New Ute Events Center, Kelty said.
The fund has a balance that should cover the $13,000 transfer, he added, so did not believe that move alone would affect tourism promotion to any great degree.
"We use about half of that budget to promote the city to visitors," Kelty said.
The events center was also set to receive $200,000 from the city's information center budget, plus smaller amounts from the Downtown Development Authority, grants and an anticipated $200,000 grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Kelty said.
The city council considered these and other funding issues for the coming year when they held a public hearing on the proposed 2013 budget on Wednesday, Nov. 7. The budget will be discussed at a second public hearing on Nov. 19 and final adoption is set for Dec. 5.
However, the transfer of close to $650,000 of capital reserve funds to help the Ute project requires at least five of the seven city council members to vote in favor of the move, Kelty noted.
Councilman Rich Carter, who's architectural firm has done some work for events center backers and could bid on further jobs, will likely have to recuse himself from voting to avoid a conflict of interest, Kelty said. That means five of six council votes must be in favor of the move, he added.

Troy Calhoun (air force hc)
Todd Graham (Tulsa HC)
Chris Peterson (Boise State HC)
Who should we go after for Head Coach?
TURNER FING GILL. Of course, I went to scoop out the Buffalo boards, and one of their fans claimed he's turned down Big 12 jobs in the past because he can't fathom competing against Nebraska. Not sure how much truth there is to that...
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Ken O' Keefe
"They'd write things like...Lloyd. See you around....maybe."
--Lloyd Dobler
Todd Graham and Gus Malzahn as OC....Ditka for DC
Tommy ******* Tuberville.
It'd be sweet irony.
I hope we stay away from Big 12 South coordinators this time around.
Where's Paul Rhodes? He's one of us and irroncially was the dc at Auburn before being fired. He might actually want to stay in Ames!
Chris Peterson
How the coordinator search looking these days?
Tommy Bowden.
Or some guy we've never heard of.
Gene Smith, 1993-2000. 7 years, 6 NCAA's, 1 bowl game. Revenue sports postseason participation 50%. Good.
Bruce Vandevelde, 2000-20005. 5 years, 4 bowl games, 2 NCAA's, 2 NIT's. Postseason participation 80%. Better.
Jamie Pollard, 2005-. 4 years. 1 bowl game, 0 NCAA's, 0 NIT's. Postseason participation: 13%. The next big step.
My ignore list: splitidentity, tarheelhawk,superdorf, clones_jer. That is all.
Agreed, done with paying exorbitant paychecks to unproven coordinators. Turner Gill.
Go Sssssssssyclones!

He doesn't have hc experience, right? Imo, we need someone with head coaching experience...
Tony Dungy.
I really don't want to see a HC that is defensive minded. The last two could never get ISU in the top 100. I think it is time to look on the offensive side.
Fry, with Mac as DC and KOK as OC.

There is no way to know for sure if you're going to get malignant mesothelioma. Certain factors can make you more likely to get this type of cancer than another person. These are called risk factors. Just because you have one or more risk factors does not mean you will get malignant mesothelioma. In fact, you can have all of the risk factors and still not get the cancer. On the other hand, you may have no known risk factors and get malignant mesothelioma. Tell your doctor if you agree with any of the bolded statements because they increase your risk.
I have worked with asbestos.
The main risk factor for this cancer is contact with asbestos. In the past, asbestos was used in insulation. It was also used to make tiles, door gaskets, roofing, and patching compounds. If asbestos fibers are breathed in, they travel to the lining of the lungs and harm the cells there. You may have worked with asbestos if you have worked as a miner, factory worker, construction worker, insulation manufacturer or installer, ship construction worker, railroad or automotive worker, or in any other asbestos-related field. If you have questions, contact one of these resources.
Your local union
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health at 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636) or www.cdc.gov/niosh
Occupational Safety and Health Administration at 800-321-OSHA (800-321-6742) or www.osha.gov
I have a family member who has worked with asbestos.
There is some research that says that family members of workers who have been heavily exposed to asbestos may be at risk for mesothelioma. This is because asbestos fibers from the family member's clothes, skin, and hair may be brought into the household.
I live near naturally occurring asbestos.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. It exists in dust and rocks in certain parts of the world, including parts of Turkey and the United States. Having contact with asbestos in the natural environment can put you at risk.
I have been treated with radiation in the past.
If you've had radiation for cancer of your lymph glands in your chest (lymphoma), you may be at an increased risk of developing mesothelioma in your chest. Usually it is a long time between the treatment for lymphoma and the development of mesothelioma.
I have received Thorotrast in the past.
There is some research that says that exposure to thorium dioxide (Thorotrast), a material used in X-rays in the 1930s and 40s, may be linked to some forms of cancer, including mesothelioma. Thorotrast has not been used for many years.
I am 65 or older.
Two out of 3 people with mesothelioma are 65 or older. It rarely occurs in people 45 and younger.
I am a man.
More men than women contract mesothelioma. This may be related to heavy asbestos exposure in jobs held predominantly by men, such as factory work, mining, insulation manufacturing, and insulation installation.


text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Reserve power forward Cole Taylor's berserk first quarter scoring spree and guard Matt McCleod's high, gliding drives to the basket captured Sandhills-Thedford the 2012 Perkins County Booster Club Holiday Tournament championship with a 55-43 win over the Plainsmen Saturday night in Grant. Making a strong case for his insertion into the starting lineup, the senior Taylor blasted hard to the basket for eight points in the first eight minutes and slashed the Knights to a 13-2 lead. Perkins County, which got plenty of power from Alex Johnston's two buckets and four free scores in the fourth quarter, never approached closer than trailing 49-41 in the fourth quarter. The Knights kept control of the game thanks to McCloud's ability to puncture Perkins County's interior defense with long, smooth jumps and scoop the ball in with his left hand. His extensions gained him 15 free throw attempts as well as seven field goals on his way to a game-high 20 points. The Plainsmen scored 17 of their 43 points in the fourth quarter, with two of senior power center Blake Poppe's nine points from a mid-lane jumper drawing Perkins County to within eight points of the lead (49-41). Perkins County guard Quinton Hite connected on two three pointers and collected 10 points, but the Plainsmen received little scoring beyond Johnston, Hite and Poppe's visits with double digits. Taylor scored 14 points and 6-foot-4 senior guard Tyler Lee buried the rock when he didn't, counting 11 points on two jumpers he swished in the third quarter to run Sandhills-Thedford's lead to 17 at 37-20. The 7-3 Knights' height unquestionably bothered the host Perkins County team, as both McCleod and Taylor grew to 6-foot-4. Their physical advantage and athleticism caused enough frustration for Perkins County that two members of the Plainsmen received technical fouls for arguing with referees during the game.Next Action The Plainsmen's loss dropped their record to 3-6, with 6-3 North Platte St. Pat's coming to Grant on Friday night. St. Pat's has beaten common opponents Sandhills-Thedford, Hershey and Ogallala by 10 points or more. Perkins County visits 0-8 Sutherland on Saturday. Sutherland gave Ogallala something to think about (57-53) and lost in overtime to Hayes Center.Sand./Thed. 55, P.C. 43Sand.-Thed. 17 14 13 11–55Perkins Co. 8 9 9 17–43 Scoring leaders–Perkins County: Johnston 3FG 5/8FT–11; Hite 2 (2[x3])–10; Poppe 2 5/9–9; Johnson 1 (1)–5; Carlson 1 (1)–5; Sandhills-Thedford: McCleod 7 6/15–20; Taylor 6 2/2–14; Lee, T. 4 3/4–11; Sierks 2 6/10–10.

A man. A woman. A subway ride. And thousands of paper airplanes. How is it that a studio that makes riotously entertaining movies for kids featuring anthropomorphic chameleons and singing teapots can so acutely manipulate our grownup emotions with the simplest of storylines? (I admit it: I cry every, single time Rapunzel is reunited with her parents in Tangled.) Well, Walt Disney Animation Studios has plucked our heartstrings yet again, this time with an animated short that is up for (you guessed it) Best Animated Short Film at this year's Academy Awards®. And no matter how you feel about today's so-called "holiday"—I once exclusively referred to Valentine's Day as "Black" Whatever Day of the Week it fell on—this little gem will make you crack a sappy, sentimental smile and believe in, if only for a fleeting moment, the power of true love. And with that, I give you, Paperman.

You link is broken....
I'm Polish Gamemaster and I would like to share with you my first attempt to mapmaking - The Free Cities region map, which is a land of my campaing.
Although it's going to be handout for players, map should be basically help for me in following flow of campaing. So, it should be practical in the first place, rather than "pretty".
What i want to know is if there is any way of improving map easily, without weeks of work. For now, i mostly used mapping elements found on internet, as a GIMP brushes
Let me know if you need more info about it. (here you have link to original gimp file, if anoyone want to play with it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5esu0iyegt...lnychMiast.xcf )
Anyway, hello, I hope i did everything right this time.

WHEELING - Linsly faces a big task as the OVAC Class AA champions move up a class - and do so without Akil Blount, one of the team's leading scorers last season at 19 points and 10 rebounds per game.
Still, don't expect Cadets coach James Wallace to lower expectations one bit. In fact, the third-year coach has one of his most talented rosters yet and will be looking to add another OVAC championship banner to Stifel Field House.
''Our expectation is to always win the OVAC title,'' Wallace said. ''We beefed up our schedule with the move to Class AAA so we had to make sure we have the points to qualify for the playoffs. We always carry championship expectations around here. We feel, no matter who we have, that if you carry less than that, that's what you'll get.
''We have guys back last year that started 0-3 and people worried about us even winning games. They learned how to handle adversity and how to handle to success. They ended up turning it around and won a heckuva game against River (in the Class AA title game). I think they are hungry to build off that. They don't want it to be a one-year thing. We have guys that want to leave with a legacy and leave the program as high as we can be.''
Wallace will look heavily on a talented threesome of junior Anthony Wallace, and sophomores Jibri Blount and Toddy Goodwin-Rowe.
''Anthony, a lot of people saw in the championship game score 31,'' Coach Wallace said. ''They took Akil away and forced someone to step up and beat them. Anthony did that. There is so many games before that where he really, really improved his game. He has really committed himself and is really maturing into our leader.
''Jibri plays with his elbows at the rim and Toddy is even quicker and making better decisions than last year. We are really going to depend on them to, not just be great players, but take the bull by the horns and make sure everyone is moving in the right direction.''
Anthony Wallace is a 6-foot-2 guard, while Goodwin-Rowe is a 6-foot guard and Blount, the team's tallest player at 6-6, is also a guard.
Wallace was the team's leading scorer last season at 20.8 points per game. He also led the Cadets in 3-pointers (31), free-throw percentage (70.2), and steals (56). He was a first team All-Valley selection.
The rest of the starting lineup is wide open as Coach Wallace tries to find the right mix.
The Cadets have four seniors on the team - Derin Fasipe, Michael Hammond, Robert Idowu, and Rashad Johnson - but none have earned a letter.
''We are looking for guys like Colton Coss (6-0, sophomore, guard), Quinton Hamilton (6-5, sophomore., forward), freshmen like Logan Goodnight (6-0, guard) and Malik Merrick (5-11, guard) and some seniors that have waited a long time, earned their stripes, stuck with it and put the time in Rashard Johnson (5-10, guard) and Robert Idowu (6-2, forward), to step and up,'' Coach Wallace said.
''We have a group of unknown entities. We will be excited to see who plays early in the season and in scrimmages to see who's who.
''The nice thing about having that group of six or seven kids trying to fight for those spots, is that our practices are really competitive. We have really worked hard and had guys really going at each other. No one is backing down from each other.''
The Linsly roster is rounded out with juniors Regan Chen (5-11, guard), Arien Seymour (5-11, guard), and Austin Whipkey (6-2, forward), sophomores Jae Wook Ahn (6-1, forward), Jacob Caimano (5-11, guard), Mackenzie Hammond (forward), Jake Steed (5-10, guard) and Tyson West (6-1, guard), and freshmen Corey Collette (5-5, guard), Nick Aprea (5-8, forward), Corey Cunningham (5-8, guard), Charlie Dodd (6-0, forward), Sam Doe (5-11, forward), Cole Griffin (5-9, guard), Matthew Hurley (6-0, forward), Allen Lin (5-8, guard), and Michael Reed (5-10, guard).
Wallace is assisted by James Cowart and Colin McWilliams.

I recently moved from a 32bit to 64bit RHEL 6.x server and Zimbra 7.x Network version - also 64bit. The whole migration went fine and worked well from behind my NAT router.
I decided to move out from behind it to our WAN router that has static addresses 74.xx.xx.94 to 74.xx.xx.98 available. I made the required changes at Network Solutions to remove my DNS machine from my records and keep the MX address the same 74.xx.xx.94 and moved my private net work router (NAT) to 74.xx.xx.95.
After making those changes and checking the rhel resolv, hosts, hostname files. I thought I was set? The server is plugged directly into the WAN router with eth0 set to 192.168.0.x and eth1 set to 74.xx.xx.94. dnsmaq is setup for simple caching internal dns.
Note: I have tested so far with rhel firewall and without.... no change in results.
Zimbra sees the MX fine and I am able to send mail but none returning when testing mail (send to work and sending back) failure. Something is keeping me from getting mail. ...btw my static IP's from ATT all have port 25 open. I have also opened one additional port for admin 7071. My Zimbra server should be allowing "both" http and https access from outside. It is not working.
I am still unable to receive mail. Scratching my head on this one..... Any help would be greatly appreciated to help debug.

Driving around the back roads upstate New York (code for lost) we stumbled upon a small hamlet called Fishs Eddy. It felt like a perfectly odd name so we borrowed it for our just-opened shop near Gramercy Park. Twenty-five years later Fishs Eddy has made its own history. Millions of edgy, unique and incredibly fun dishes and glasses have come in and out of our doors. That old blue pick up is now a large truck with our logo and a GPS. Of course we still meander and let life take us to unexpected places (code for can't figure out how to work GPS). Most importantly, we're still true to our original vision: commercial quality dish and glassware with plenty of other things to make people smile. After all these years we are still happiest...doing dishes!

Meade LXD75 Mount and Aux port
Posted 24 May 2010 - 02:37 PM
Does the AUX port/plug accept a guider (like a SBIG ST-402)or an autoguider (like Meade Autoguider)?
Posted 24 May 2010 - 02:44 PM
Posted 24 May 2010 - 03:58 PM
What I did was install the ASCOM drivers for MEADE. Connect the SSAG Autoguider, started the software and selected Mount>ASCOM>MEADE.
The first couple of times when using the cheap USB to Serial connector I purchased (not the one I recommended) I couldn't get the laptop to connect to the Mount, when I realized the laptop had a serial connection, no more issues. I am even able to use the Autostar software to connect and control the mount.
You will need several items:
1) USB To Serial Connection
2) Serial to Phone Line connection
3) The phone line (its a 6 pin width at the USB port and 4 pin at the handcontroller).
Import links:
USB to Serial (above)
Serial to Phone Jack and Cables, I got mine from EBAY. 505 Cable
Posted 24 May 2010 - 09:34 PM
What is a SSAG autoguider?
Posted 25 May 2010 - 07:51 AM
Posted 25 May 2010 - 05:57 PM
I am not affiliated but here the url:
Several different versions, but all use the AUX port and give you a ST-4 port. If you use a LVI SSAG you don't need a computer.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 06:51 PM
Posted 24 November 2012 - 06:45 PM
I keep reading about connecting the SSAG as a step but how --do I use both jacks on the SSAG or just the usb since there is no direct link to LXD75 mount? I have a Meade 505 cable from computer to the handbox and can drive the mount with Stellarium. I have the usb from computer to SSAG, but cannot connect to scope in PHD due to ASCOM error. Does SSAG drive out the same 505 cable to the handbox? Otherwise it appears I have to disconnect SSAG from handbox and reconnect Stellarium to handbox each time I want to change target locations?
You don't have to use "in-camera" guiding, you can just connect the SSAG to the laptop using the USB cable and use PHD guiding to guide the mount through the 505 cable from the laptop. It's much less complicated and works very well.

I have mac and ascom drivers are not available for mac. Is it correct?

The First 50 Years Of R&CWritten by on February 19, 2003 Contributors: The Rod & Custom Archives A Fast History Of The Magazine
Did we mention that it was our birthday? R&C's first-ever issue was May 1953, which makes us 50 years old.
In 1948, Robert E. Petersen began publishing Hot Rod Magazine, the first national publication for a small, but growing, group of rodders. A few miles away in Burbank, California, John Bond, publisher of Road & Track , saw the success Petersen was having with Hot Rod Magazine and started his own digest-sized rod magazine, called Hop Up , in 1951. After only a few issues, Bond lost interest in the new publication and sold Hop Up to one of his employees, William S.Quinn. As Hop Up grew from its small format into a full-sized magazine, and expanded into broader automotive topics, Quinn and his staff began to think about starting another pocket-sized mag that would return to Hop Up 's original focus: hot rods and custom cars. In May of 1953, Quinn Publications introduced RODS AND CUSTOMS . A month later, the title was shortened to Rod & Custom, with the logo that has remained essentially unchanged to this day.
R&C's staff consisted of Quinn, Editor Spencer Murray, Managing Editor Lou Kimsey, Photographers Gene Trindl and Ralph Poole, and Ad Manager Jack Caldwell. Hop Up Editor Dean Batchelor contributed to the launch, and Barney Navarro was on board as tech editor by the second issue. In April '54, R&C absorbed Hop Up ; the cover logo read "Combined with Hop Up " for a year. Later that year, Petersen purchased the magazine he had indirectly help create. The July '55 issue was the first to list Petersen's name as publisher.
The Rod & Custom history includes a few stops and starts. In 1971, we published our farewell issue. A year later, Tom Medley, Bud Bryan, and Gray Baskerville revived R&C for two years, before it was absorbed into Hot Rod Magazine (from 1974 to 1981, HR's logo read, "Combined with Rod & Custom "). Rod & Custom came back as a bimonthly magazine at the end of 1988 and went monthly in 1993. We're not planning on closing up shop again.
It would be a kick to say that R&C was there at the birth of hot rodding, but that would be fudging history a little bit. By the time we appeared on the scene, this hobby had been in existence for about 20 years. Even so, we can honestly boast that we were one of the first magazines to promote this pastime, have covered every aspect the hot rod and custom car scene, and have even played a part in starting a few trends.
Here, we present a selection of those trends, along with some of the cars, people, styles, and events that have defined rodding during the past 50 years. We're sure we left out some of your favorite R&C milestones. Don't feel bad; we left out a lot of our own, too. Since we don't have the room to present every moment in the history of R&C, we offer a scrapbook of high points and cool memories from our first 50 years. Hope you enjoy it.
Next time: Talking to some of the editors who influenced R&C.

More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Hirohata's Road Trip: Bob Hirohata's Barris-built '51 Merc has become one of the most famous customs in history. Bob's three-day road trip from L.A. to Indianapolis was called "Kross Kountry in a Kustom" when we ran the story in October 1953. It introduced R&C's commitment to actually driving rods and customs.Chevmobile: There have been a bunch of project vehicles over the years. Our first was a sectioned '41 Chevy coupe packed with an Oldsmobile Rocket V-8 engine. The Chevmobile ran in the September '53 issue. The body had been in a fire and was too damaged to continue the project, but the chassis became the original platform for the R&C Dream Truck.Cheesecake: Not all R&C readers appreciate or approve of the pin-up gals that have appeared in these pages since the very first issue. That's okay, though. September '53 cover girl Luana Patton posed with Bob Borst's mildly customized '49 Chevy coupe.Rods in Miniature: For years, model cars and slot cars were a big part of R&C, sometimes edging out real cars. It all started in May 1956, when we teamed up with Revell to stage a nationwide model-building contest. In 1962 and 1963, Bob Wingate presented a multi-part history of models. Don Emmons wrote on the subject from the '60s until 2000.The Roadster: OCee Ritch and Joe Henning wrote and drew many restyling features during the '50s, none more popular than Building The Roadster, a five-part series in 1955. The ever-evolving idea was to build a Cad-powered, aluminum-bodied, T-style roadster on an A frame, for a dollar a pound ($2,300). The Roadster never went beyond the concept stage, but rodders all over the USA were inspired to build cars based on the series. Jack Leynnwood painted his rendition for the October '55 cover.The Dream Truck: Perhaps the best-known R&C project vehicle was Spence's Chevy 1/2-ton, known as the Rod & Custom Dream Truck. It first appeared in September 1953. In June 1957, we presented a complete report on our "rolling laboratory," but the Dream Truck saga was only beginning. We have the story elsewhere in this issue.Bigger and Better: To the delight of some and the dismay of others, Rod & Custom abandoned its original digest format starting with the August '61 issue--all the better to get an eyeful of the cover cars, a pair of Deuce roadsters, owned by Murphy Tiffany and R&C Staff Editor Neal East.Barris Korner: We've had a long friendship with customizer George Barris. He was a regular contributor to the magazine, writing and photographing tech stories on bodywork, paint, and restyling, starting with the third issue, when Barris Korner first appeared. That's him on the cover in May '58.Mr. Barris Meets Mr. Roth: The two best-known customizers of the '60s couldn't have been more different--in style, technique, personality, and appearance. Editor Bill Neumann got George Barris and Ed Roth together, and the resulting interview, which ran in the May and June '62 issues, was one of our greatest stories.
L.A. Roadster Show: The L.A. Roadster Club, one of Southern California's largest clubs, held its first annual show in 1960, and approximately 50 cars participated. R&C didn't cover the event but did a year later, when the 2nd L.A. Roadster Show took place at the Hollywood Bowl. The T roadster with the blown Merc is the Seiden Brothers' Highland Plating Special.Go Karts: Not really a rod and certainly not a custom, go-karts were all over R&C in the late '50s and early '60s. The fuse was lit when the July '58 issue introduced the hobby to R&C readers. Graphics Editor Lynn Wineland, who later became editor, is credited with coining the term "go-kart."Gray's T Roadster: We were still covering the drags in 1964, including the '63 NHRA Nationals in Indy, where the M&V Automotive injected T roadster pickup was entered by Paul Horning, Ernie Murashige, and future R&C staffer Gray Baskerville. The Rolling Ricebowl set the B/A record at that race, which was the first national race to use "Christmas Tree" starting lights.The R&C Street Rod Nationals: Rodding events leapt up the evolutionary ladder in 1970 when Tom Medley and the crew created a national event for street rods. We never expected 600 cars and 1,200 participants to show up in Peoria, Illinois, for the 1st Annual Rod & Custom Street Rod Nationals. This year, 10,000 rods will participate in the Street Rod Nats.Tom Daniel: Tom Daniel's artwork filled our pages from 1959 and throughout the '60s. Off The Sketchpad articles showed radical reworkings of new factory cars as well as rods and customs. Barris' Surf Woody and Roth's Druid Princess were real customs inspired by Daniel designs, not to mention his most famous custom, the Red Baron, which started out as a Monogram kit.Vintage Tin: "Confessions of an Incurable Scrounger," one of many great Leroi "Tex" Smith stories, appeared in December 1967. Tex's point that roddin' raw material can be found anywhere drew a huge response and inspired the Vintage Tin department, comprised of readers' photos of beat-up, forgotten iron. Vintage Tin started in May 1968 and ran until R&C went away in 1974.Rod Tests: Writing feature stories about somebody's rod or custom is fun, but taking a car out and putting it through a torture test is the real way to find out what it's made of. R&C initiated Rod Tests in 1962 and was still doing them into the '70s. This test of Jerry Aaron's '35 Plymouth appeared in the July '70 issue.Volksrod: Volkswagen-engined rods were not too unusual in the mid-'60s. R&C popularized the idea even more with the Volksrod project: a 'glass T roadster pickup on a specially built frame, powered by a rear-mounted, air-cooled VeeDub. The car was the subject of countless tech stories, and the project lasted for years.
Are Coupes For Chickens?: That question was posed on the cover of the November '73 issue. Inside, we ran a comparison of these two '34s. The yellow car belonged to R&C contributor Jim Jacobs. Pete Chapouris' flamed coupe is the same car that appeared in Garage Scene earlier that year and went on to fame as the California Kid. Jacobs and Chapouris teamed up to start Pete & Jake's.Garage Scene USA: Garage Scene was sort of an updating of the old From Out of the 48 series from the '50s. The series featured in-progress rods from readers all over the country. In the first installment, we presented this '34 three-window, built by a SoCal guy by the name of Pete Chapouris.Tire Test: People still tell us how much they loved the "Tire Test" story from September 1973. We took Dennis Varni's '29 roadster and two dozen sets of 60-series Wide Oval tires out to the Ontario Motor Speedway for a little comparing and contrasting, and some beating up on somebody else's rod.We're Back...Again: After a 14-year absence, R&C was reintroduced in 1988, with Pat Ganahl as editor. The cover of the December '88 "Premier Issue" was a variation on the barnyard scene from the November '73 cover featuring the Pete & Jake's coupes.The Little Pages: Many readers were hoping that Rod & Custom would come back in its original digest format. It didn't, but one of the features in the new R&C was the Little Pages department, a look back at classic early issues of the magazine, similar to the current R&C Heritage department.Bell Is Swell: Cartoonist Dave Bell helped us celebrate our return with his monthly illustrations. The first one, published in the December '88 comeback issue, featured a chopped custom Merc and a '33 roadster with a blown Hemi. Bell Is Swell ran from 1988 to 1991.Bonneville: Competition at Bonneville is part of the genesis of hot rodding, and the salt has flavored the pages of R&C since our earliest days (although we strayed for a while). We returned to Bonneville for the 40th Anniversary of Speedweek and gave our report in December 1988.L.A. In The '40s: Dean Batchelor, first editor of Hop Up and one of the Quinn Publications crew who helped found R&C, shared his photos and memories of hot rodding in Los Angeles, which were published in December 1989. The kid on the left with the shades is Batchelor in 1947.A Look Back at Oakland: The first Oakland Roadster show took place in 1949, four years before our time, but Hot Rod Magazine Photographer Eric Rickman was there. Rick gave us some never-before-seen photos, which we published along with coverage of the 40th Anniversary Show in the June '89 R&C.
Bathing Suit Review: The October '90 "Bathing Suit Review" issue was classic Ganahl R&C. When every other mag was running cheesy bikini issues, R&C published these "long-lost" black-and-white, vintage-style photos of swimsuit models posing with a variety of vehicles. It was perfect.Americruise: Forty years after Hirohata's road trip, R&C was still all about driving your rod or custom. In 1993, we invited our readers on one of seven road trips from various points in the USA to Springfield, MO. We named the tours, and the car show in Springfield, Americruise and have been doing it every summer since.Old Is New: Baskerville, ever the champion of traditional rods, identified Newstalgia as a new styling trend. This alternative to high tech combined a less-customized, more-traditional look with modern mechanical benefits. Ray Lark's '33 highboy made the January '94 cover as an example of the Newstalgia movement.Gray Baskerville: As of this writing, it's been a year since we said adios to "ol' Dad" Gray Baskerville. His words, photos, and enthusiasm have influenced Rod & Custom magazine since 1972. In fact, we really could've used his help with this article. He was one of a kind. We miss him.Sketchpad: The Sketchpad feature that Joe Henning inspired in the '50s, and Tom Daniel developed in the '60s, has been maintained by a number of artists, most notably Thom Taylor and Steve Stanford. Stanford's '49-51 Ford and Taylor's '50 Buick were part of a April '95 story on the "Top 10 Customs."Modern Customs: Custom cars continue to move in several different directions at once. The past few years have seen a surge in the popularity of traditional sleds, as well as a very recent return to one-off Roth-style kustoms. Another direction is toward modern customs, such as John D'Agostino's '57 Caddy, which was featured in September 1998.100 Best: In December 1998, the staff decided to select the nicest cars they'd seen throughout the year and feature them together in a gallery called "100 Best Rods & Customs." It turned out to be a lot of work, but worth the effort. The annual presentation continued through 2001.Asphalt Ego-Rama: The idea was based on R&C's desire to put people's rods and customs to the test--the old Rod Tests taken to the extreme. You guys were eager to participate, and the first two Asphalt Ego-Rama competitions were overwhelming successes. Ego-Rama '01 coverage ran in January 2002. Last year's event was covered in the last issue.

Taking the grandkids camping . . . sort of
(Page 2 of 3)
We hiked on. It was a walk that ended at a beach, a stunning landscape of rocks and crashing waves. Of course, no one can swim in the northern Pacific without a wetsuit, and the great whites are kind of a buzz kill, but the kids had fun on the beach.
Back at the campsite, we made a dinner plan. This being Northern California camping, we had a reservation at Nepenthe, a trendy restaurant a few miles away. Think $25 entrees. Set on a cliff over the sea, the place attracted elegant women driving expensive sports cars and men with just the right amount of shabby chic to disguise their immense wealth. It was as if the entire Silicon Valley was in Big Sur for the weekend. These people weren't camping out unless it was at Clint Eastwood's Carmel estate.
Back at the camp site, day was done. People were in their tents and RVs. I noticed it was dark. Not just dark but a total blackout, with just a sliver of moon in the sky over the trees. Where had I put my toothbrush? How would I brush my teeth? What if, heaven forbid, I had to go to the bathroom during the night? Turns out there were communal bathrooms and showers.
We slept, we ate well, we played in the creek and we toasted s'mores over our campfire. Still, I don't get it. A campground does have some amenities, but it also has other people who cook smelly food and play music at night and bring their annoying dogs. The idea seems to be that you drag as much equipment — food and lights and tents and blow-up mattresses and portable stoves — as you can to make yourself comfortable when you could just stay home and not have to walk a quarter-mile in the dark to pee.
That's the unromantic take on camping.
This is what I choose to remember: my four grandkids, sitting around the campfire at night, stuffing their faces with marshmallows and chocolate. They ask for a "Grandma Randi story" and I tell them one:
"Sabrina, Jacob, Elijah and Emi, when I tell you stories, they always begin the same way, with you four cousins, who love each other so much, going on an adventure. Well, kids, you're living the story. Here you are together sleeping in a tent by a river. Put your arms around each other. This is a moment to remember."

Much like your sprag clutch, there is no guarantee that the gears are turning. We still love you anyway Scott
It seems beholden on me to point out that I am in no way worthy of the epithet "Grand Gearhead" recently bestowed on me. The title is a result of sheer quantity of posts, many arising from ignorance and confusion in the ways of motorcycles. Quantity not quality has brought me to this undeserved title, and I can only aplogise to those venerable ones who have rightly earned the honour through knowledge and experience.Nuff said....?
Ha Ha , sans sprag , and sans bike for a while too, and just as I got my Magnum super horns fitted. Darn, grrr

I spend a lot of time driving around the state. Also spend a lot of time grabbing food for the road. What do you guys think is the best fast food/convenience store value for food, or even best food at one of those places in general?
Personally I have become a huge fan of QT and the 2/$2 jalapeno cheese dogs. Then a fountain drink and I am out the door for around $3.
Also like the corndogs there.
Casey's food I think tastes the best but for the price I could hit up a buffet in town.
How great is it to be able to get already made pizza rolls???!!!!
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
I also travel a lot for my job, I am not a QT fan I typically will grab Caseys, or depending on the town i will grab Wendys, i can get 2 double cheeses and a drink for 3 bucks and im gone

Yup, pretty tough to top Wendy's for combination of price, selection, and tastiness.
I love Wendys as well, but its the only fast food chain that can cause my body to liquify food that fast. Im curious as to their secret dietary ingredient.
Depending on what part of the state you're in, if you come by a Kwik Star or Kwik Trip on a Wednesday, I'd stop in there. They have an item for $1 every Wednesday and it rotates every week. Sometimes you can get a slice of pizza for $1, then next week it could be a chicken sandwich or cheeseburger and such.

Wendy's dollar menu, and it's not even close. I will sometimes splurge for a spicy chicken go wrap (I think around $1.39).
Also, I don't think value meals have much value any more. It seems like when they started offering them, you basically were getting either the drink, or fries for free. Now I don't think you really save much.
Lifetime Achievement- In on page 1 of a THujone MS Paint thread.
Taco Bell's value menu is good, and the $2 meal deals are awesome.
Taco Bell® | $2 Meal Deals
Taco Bell and Wendy's are the two best values right now, IMHO.
When in Ames, Jeff's Pizza has two enormous slices and a pop for $5. Otherwise, I go for the BK $1 doubles.
McDonalds, 2 mcchickens, double cheeseburger, large drink for just over $4. i am adddicted to those double cheeseburgers

Arbys has a sweet new value menu, lots of variety, and its cheap.

My dad and I travel a lot. What we do before we hit the road is buy some bags of chips. Which takes the place of the fries. Then buy a 12-pack of pop and throw them in the cooler. That way we can stop at Arbys and get 2 or 3 of the junior roast beefs instead of paying $8 per person for a full meal.
Tasty Tacos is the best. Whenever I'm in town I stop in to grab a few flour tacos.
BK Doubles. How could I forget about those. Throw in the value rings and you've got a great meal.
Had a stop at KFC yesterday and spent 3.49 on a BBQ sandwhich, side salad, and a water. Not bad

Ticketmaster has announced a HUGE new promotion that I'm really excited about, called Broadway's BIG Deals. Nearly 50 events across the country are offering savings up to 50% until June 15th. Broadway shows, at 50% off. I'm so excited. I was fortunate that my godparents lived in Brooklyn when I was little, and I think I saw Annie on Broadway at least 4 times, Peter Pan probably 5, CATS, A Chorus Line and others. I adore Broadway. I think everyone should see a Broadway show at least once in their life- it's such a magical experience!
My mom used to take days off of work (she can't get in trouble for that now, right? Decades later??) and keep me home from school and we'd go spend the day in the city and do lunch and a matinee show. Such wonderful memories, and I'd almost forgotten I had those memories tucked away in my head until I sat to write this. I forgot how many shows we'd seen. I'd love to bring her to a show as MY treat- instead, I'll have to bring my kids in her memory. The ticket prices can be expensive so I'm pretty happy to find some discounts! As you can see, my love for Annie started at a young age.
The Broadway's BIG Deal promotion isn't just for New York showings- there are listings all over the country. Can you guess what site I'm visiting when I finish this post? Don't wait on this one, friends, this promotion ends on June 15th.
Patrons can purchase discounted tickets for many exciting arts events in New York and throughout the country as well as for the following Tony Award®nominees: Ghost the Musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, Peter and the Starcatcher, and SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark.

But Mine is not to reason why, mine is but to do what the publisher asks. So I took the already nice file and came up with my one take on it. First I ported out some graphics from CC3- a tree, a tower, hills, a mountain, and houses. Then I used another program to create the hex field. Then I added all that stuff together in Photoshop.
I remember seeing how some people using CC3 had created a sort of 3D look, by clever use of perspective, and I thought that approach might be a good one to use here. This is the result, minus the text.

Sometimes a beauty care routine that makes efficient use of skin cleansers and toners simply isn't enough to maintain the natural radiance of your skin. Over time, the buildup of excess oil, makeup residue, and environmental particulates can clog your skin's pores. Not only does this scenario result in duller looking skin, but it also leads to enlarged pores, blemishes, blackheads, whiteheads, and deep creases. Plus, this buildup prevents new skin cell growth from emerging, leads to sagging of the skin, and creates fine lines and wrinkles well before they should begin to appear on your skin. Sothys Exfoliators are formulated to assist in eliminating makeup residue, environmental particulates, dirt, grime, dead skin cells, and excess oils from your skin, recreating its natural beauty. Regular use of Sothys Exfoliators also improves your skin's ability to absorb other beauty care products, allowing your skin to take full advantage of moisturizers, creams, and skin care treatments.
Using Sothys Exfoliators on a regular basis delivers fresh, new life to your skin as impurities are eliminated, revealing new cell growth that delivers an even skin tone and brighter facial countenance.
Removing dead skin cells is an important aspect of the skin regeneration process. As the body ages, the skin's natural ability to renew itself becomes somewhat diminished, requiring an extra motivational process to encourage it to do so. Manual exfoliation through the use of a beauty care product designed to provide this process can give your skin an added boost of dead skin cell removal along with a rejuvenated appearance for your face. Sothys Exfoliators reenergize your skin for renewed skin cell growth and a return to its original, soft, supple nature. For the best results, use Sothys Exfoliators in combination with Sothys cleansers, toners, and moisturizers.
Has your skin suddenly begun to look duller and older? Are you finding fine lines in new places on a weekly basis? Do you wonder what hope there is for your skin to look fresher, younger, and more beautiful than it does now? Try Sothys Gommage Exfoliant for softer, more resilient skin that looks brighter and healthier. Infused with Xanthan Gum, this beauty care product conditions your skin as it gently exfoliates dead skin cells and the other impurities clinging to your skin.
Part of the benefit of using a quality exfoliator is that it enables your skin to more readily absorb moisturizers and creams for a softer appearance. This particular exfoliating product offers the moisturizing benefit of Oat Flour and the high lipid content found in it. Plus, it includes Bee's wax, which is utilized for its ability to help seal in your skin's moisture, preventing it from becoming dehydrated.

These Alvin Valley pants are, legitimately, the only cool pants I own. I'm not really cool enough to wear them, but I'm plucky, and I try hard.
Too faced. Their primer is great. And their eyeshadows are THE GREATEST. I use this eye-shadow essentially every single day. I love that the set comes with a primer so that it doesn't get all smudgy, and I also just really like that the palate is mostly browns. But I like that a violet shade is there, as an option. I'm working my way up to trying that.
If you're in NYC, go to Hibba. They will give you a wax that is ALMOST painless.
The fittings at Wacoal are the reason I know my proper size, and find bras less hideously uncomfortable than I used to.
Warner's. Thank you for giving me something to wear under tights that is not awful. I appreciate it.

The sunless tan at St. Tropez has, on many occasions, transformed me from Wednesday Addams into someone who is not Wednesday Addams.
When we got this, I spritzed it in the office and everyone sniffed and one co-worker remarked "that is the only perfume in the world that doesn't smell like crap." I hate 99% of perfumes. I think they smell like poison. I wear this pure vanilla, all natural scent every day, now.
Exhale Core Fusion Cardio. I have known pain in this class like I've never known. And after the first one, I started taking it all the time. Feel my abs now. Really. Feel them.
Eiji. I cannot describe the difference it makes when a stylist cuts your hair when it is dry. Or, I can, and I can say that this is the first haircut I've ever had that I don't need to spend a ton of time styling in the morning. The highlights are also subtle, but glorious. I wish I could go here all the time. If you're in New York, you should.
