I'm not a mountain biker, I think I'm a weekend warrior. I try to get out on rides as often as I can, but lately not very often. I'm almost afraid to think I may not get to ride very often period. I used to laugh at my older brother when he had to basically stop riding because of work and the birth of his two children, but until I had my son, I just couldn't understand-there's always time right? I now understand why time is so valuable-
I think as you get older it becomes more and more valuable. This last New Years to hear my father, whose 86, tell me as he watched my 2 year old son play, how he wished he could stop time and have more of it, brought a tear to my eye.
TJ said it best last ride-I'm just happy I get out to ride when I can. I'm hoping to be able to ride with TSP as often as I can, but I've seen many of them including you Dion just get way better and I know this is because your all out there riding.
As I ride less i know my riding 'skills' get weaker along with my cardio. Age also plays a factor as I notice I'm more nervous about attempting a jump or drop, etc. A few years ago I had lost quite a bit of weight, 44 pounds. I was tired of always being last on a ride with hills. I decided I no longer wanted to be last. I was hitting the gym, yoga and riding. What made me faster wAs riding and lots of it. I attacked hills every chance I had in order to become faster and of course riding with faster riders pushes you to become a better rider. I did become 'B' group-which was outstanding for me.
Then with a new house remodel, first child and work full time I've been reunited with 20 pounds I had lost, and found my way back to the back of the pack. I'm hoping with a better diet and a indoor trainer-which I HATE to get healthier. Sitting on a trainer with no outside stimulus does little for my riding skills.

This is a painful time of year. There are so many plants languishing in greenhouses and parking lots, begging to be rescued from their uncertain fate. (Is it just me or does every big box store with any connection to domesticity now have a garden centre?) And it's not that hard to do the rescuing; everything goes on sale as greenhouse workers face the reality of overwintering or getting rid of all that greenery. One place I stopped last week had trees on sale for 70% off. Under these circumstances, don't you feel like you could nurse anything back to health? Don't you find yourself tempted to buy entire flats of stuff, and one of every bush you've ever thought about growing? Doesn't reason go out the window when you see those price tags and those drooping but still viable leaves? Come on, I know I'm not alone.
One of the 70% off trees I saw was a weeping birch. I've always wanted one. My grandparent's front yard had one that was perfect for climbing and hiding in. All kinds of warm fuzzy feelings and happy memories surface at the sight of one or the mention of its name. But I made a $75 mistake a couple of autumns back on a weeping birch–got it too late, snapped the leader off in a moment of idiocy, and a late spring frost nipped the buds, well, in the bud. So I was a little more careful this time. I weighed my options carefully. Dozens of plants were jammed together like the proverbial sardines. I noted the mottled leaves, a sign of something not good, though I'm not sure what. The soil was overly damp and turning green. There were some dead twigs.
But it was a weeping birch. At seventy percent off.
The deciding factor ended up being the hour long highway drive home in our van full of kids. Nowhere to put the thing. Safely distanced from temptation now, I'm very glad I was delivered from evil. I will get my weeping birch, hopefully sooner than later, so that my kids can sit under the waterfall of leaves with a book and avoid their chores just like I did. But I'm determined to be patient and find a healthy one, even if I have to pay full price.
And for now, I'm happy with rescuing a bunch of sweet potato vines and coleus. At sixty percent off!
Tell me about your $75 dollar mistake, or your have-to-have-it plant.

I have used a multi pin my whole life until about 2-3 years ago. Eyes just aren't what they used to be and find myself more accurate with one and to me accuracy is first in my book. I read through a few of these posts and the biggest complaint is having to readjust your sight on something at the last minute. Another is forgetting to dial in your sight at the correct yardage. These are easy to fix and will take some time, it's called knowing your equipment. I'm not going to lie to you, it will take some time to get efficient with a single pin when you make the change but once you do, I doubt you would go back to a multi pin.
I love my MBG Ascent with 3 pins. I have them set at 20, 30, 40 and the 40 is the pin sighted in for the slide. It can be adjusted from 15yds-90yds. If I want to shoot past 90 yds im going to need to get another pin, or reduce the range on the lower end.
love it. best of both worlds
I can understand where you advocates for a single pin are coming from. Like everything, practice makes perfect. And the biggest hurdle is getting over your fear of trying something new...
With that said, I'm a chickensh!t. I will stick with what works for me (5 pin sights). Like somebody has said, too many "what ifs" IMO, for me to see any of the benefits of a single pin.
A couple of additional points for Dhersberger.... if you want a "sure thing" don't be a bow hunter. It is by nature full of "what if's". If you don't like "what if's" FOR SURE never pick up a recurve.
I have never used one, that being said I can't say yes or no. I would definitely try it out though. I am very comfortably with my 6 pin set up right now though, it is so ingrained what pin to shoot at for what distance it might be tough to change.
I shoot a single pin, and don't like the clutter of the multiple pins, although I only had cheapo multi pin sights when I was younger. I know where to aim with my pin set at 30 yards to cover 10-40 yards. I practice it all the time so if I can't adjust it I am set. I started out shooting recurves with no sights. It's about the same thing. If I have to reach out, beyond 40, I usually have time to make a quick adjustment. I like it, but I am going to look at the newer higher quality multi pin sights. It is a drag if you shoot at 50 yards and forget to set it back to 30. Oops
i watched a guy yesterday,with a single pin, make a 120 yard shot, he hit bout 6 inches low but good god! 120 yards!!!? the dude didnt even use a range finder, he looked at the target, looked at the trees adjusted the sight and the arrow whent airborne. that was neat. then i raised my 70 yard pin way over the back and made myself look stupid. ha not saying the single pin allowed him to shoo tthat far but it was pretty cool how he was able to field guess that far. good thing it was just a target but non the less, cool
I used to have a multiple pin sight (sword) and loved it. Then a pro shop talked me into using a HHA and I have been using it for quite some time now. I've tried going back to a fixed pin sight, but after using the single pin for so long, it is honestly like starting over for me. Yes, you can forget to adjust it to the correct yardage, but you can easily use the wrong pin when looking at 5 different ones that are becoming closer together with today's high speed bows. As ontarget7 mentioned, the bottom line is to shoot what is working for you and most importantly, know your equipment.

The Spirit of Tommy SparksWritten by on April 25, 2012 Contributors: Wes Allison
RPU. This Model A roadster pickup (RPU) is not presented here as an example of stunning quality or acres of chrome but rather for its provenance, the places it has been, and the factor of ownership. It was the late Tommy Sparks' second hot rod, purchased in 1943. After a couple of years of rebuilding, it was good enough to get him into trouble on the streets. Tom had built his first (59A, 3/8x3/8) flathead for the pickup while working for Eddie Meyer in 1947 or 1948. He paid for its Meyer intake and cylinder heads by spending his one-week vacation painting Eddie's house.
World War II drew to a close in the summer of 1945. This meant the other hot rodders Tom knew who had been overseas would be coming home and getting their rods out. Some had been lucky enough to receive a passed-around copy of Veda Orr's morale-boosting SCTA newsletters mailed to racers in the service. That October, an unofficial race took place at El Mirage with the regular clocks set up. Tom was there with the rest, itching to let it all hang out.
By the time the postwar events were in full swing, Tom had achieved commendable clockings with his pickup, but when his interests turned to building and racing Midgets, then drag racing, the RPU migrated to the back of the shop.
Over the decades the pickup was a victim of cannibalization. The engine disappeared (minus the Eddie Meyer pieces), along with the bed, the bent-spoke Kelsey-Hayes wheels, the headlights, and the Deuce grille shell. The original dropped axle is a primitive piece done the hard way, with the end chopped off and a large chunk of 1.5-inch-thick steel plate cut to a pleasing shape, which was then arc-welded in place with the kingpin boss and axle in a rudimentary jig. In later years, dropped axles were made by heating the stock axle ends red hot and shaping them in a drop forge, which made for a stronger and usually better-looking part.
Much of the roadster pickup's current appearance stems from a 1982 burst of guilt about its sad condition. Despite all those years, Tom couldn't bring himself to part with these pieces of his old hot rod. He pulled it out of storage, straightened the body, purchased another stock bed, rounded up some sporty-car wire wheels, installed a '65-'67 Mustang steering box to replace the missing '40 Ford box/column/wheel, then dropped in a "new" flathead. Tom had built the mill in the late '40s for a boat racer who later gave the engine back to Tom. It had been under a bench, never used. What are the chances of hitting such a bench-find? He took some leaves out of the front and rear suspension and reversed the eyes on the main leaves for a lower profile. He painted it a nice red. Once again, other projects delayed the finishing details.
With some urging from young understudy David Steele--destined to inherit the roadster pickup upon Tom's passing, early this year--Tom got back onto the project. When the trad-rod movement took off in the '90s, Tom made a few easy changes. While the truck originally utilized the stock fuel tank at the top of the cowl, it now has an 8-gallon tank in the bed of the truck. The transmission is the original '39 Ford with the classic Lincoln-Zephyr gears that were "good for gow." The original banjo rearend carries 3.54:1 gears, perfect for speed trials or highway driving. (Most other common ratios were much lower, only good for dragging.) The chromed A accessory items came off to better blend with the young guys whose cars were hard-core period.
While it is sad that Tom ran out of time before he had a chance to complete the makeover, he did have someone nearby who was listening to every word and was privy to Tom's plan. When David Steele mounted a set of Firestone bias-ply tires onto the '40 Ford wheels, the Sparks roadster pickup was a roller again--and has since changed David's life, literally. Working in his late mentor's North Hollywood garage and driving his old pickup around Tommy's home turf has David second guessing initial plans to bring it back to Nashville. Instead of moving his truck to Tennessee, David just might move himself to California.

Check the fins on the left side of the intake manifold and the homemade copper fuel lines (before Internet shopping), bent by skilled human hands.Imagine the thrill for two young guys (Jack Dalton, left, with Tom Sparks) running this stripped-down machine at an unsanctioned race at El Mirage dry lake shortly after WWII ended. Tom had been rebuilding it during the nonracing war years. Pic: Courtesy of the Sparks FamilyDuring its '80s rebuild, Tom had added modern items including the stainless grille screen, "flying-quail" radiator cap, wind wings, and sporty-car wire wheels. David Steele sensed that Tom was influenced by his experience dealing with over-the-top classic cars instead of hot rods. But it was a runner again, and Tom drove it everywhere, often inviting David along when the touring musician was in L.A.The interior is simple without being Spartan. The upholstery looks comfortable. Naturally, given the original builder, the steering wheel is a three-bar, race car unit.The charmed-life roadster pickup has spent the last four decades in this home garage of automobilia heaven. David considers himself more caretaker than owner of Tom Sparks' second hot rod.The little girl holding the "Drive Slow" sign looks like she's looking right into us. When she's a little bit older, maybe she'll warm up to the world of period hot rods. The '40 Ford wheels were part of the gift package that David Steele received from Tommy's daughters after their dad and mom, Laura, both passed away. He believes them to be the same rims seen in old photos of the truck.Tommy's large, war-surplus fuel tank and long toolbox leave plenty of stowage room in the unshortened bed. David, like Tom before him, is a big believer in our credo: Street rodders carry wax; hot rodders carry tools!About as rare as the intake manifold, but hardly as attractive, is this blacksmith-built dropped axle made by cutting and welding in a thick chunk of steel between the spring-perch side and the kingpin part of the old axle. You may see one or two of these in a lifetime, but perhaps never mounted on a vehicle-- let alone a driver that's carried it for more than 60 years.
There have undoubtedly been clubs called the Throttlers in other locales, but out west, there are two that come to mind: Tom's group, based in Hollywood, and the central-California Modesto club, which sponsors the annual Throttlers Picnic in Burbank. Yes, it's an original plaque. (Tom was also a member of the Autocrats and the Headers.)

To the editor:
As the late Paul Harvey would have said, �And now the rest of the story.�
If you have followed the Onslow County commissioners� deliberations while deciding on a budget, you are aware of some of the sneaky things that transpired. Well, it would seem that some of their motives have come to light.
First, a pay increase for county employees to include the commissioners at a cost of $2.4 million � which just happens to be the amount the City of Jacksonville will lose in sales-tax revenue. This action was approved by the Three Amigos: W.C. Jarman, Paul Buchanan and Barbara Ikner. By their own admission 75 percent of the sales tax collected comes from Jacksonville, and it would be fair and equitable that the businesses that work so hard to grow and prosper should benefit from any sales tax distribution formula.
I think it is important for those employees that are below the poverty level to receive an increase so they can try and improve their quality of life, but not at the expense of city residents and businesses that work hard as well and will have to bear the brunt of poorly thought-out decisions.
The commissioners stated that they based their decision on what was good for all the citizens of the county; however, those that will see increases in costs for after-school programs, recreation fees and the other changes the city has had to make to their budgets may not share in that opinion.
It would also appear that this board has little respect for agreements that other boards have entered into and they themselves have worked with until their own self-sided opinions took precedence.
I commend Commissioners Lionell Midgett and Jack Bright for their fortitude in voicing their opinions and will probably vote for them in any coming elections. I will not vote for the Three Amigos, and I will urge city residents to remember their actions when the next election comes around.

|Four candidates vie for three City Council seats
|Written by Chris Lee
Three seats on Holyoke's City Council will be filled after the upcoming April 6 election. Incumbent J.C. Peckham was appointed June 16, 2009 to fill a vacant seat left by Sara Bohrer and has decided to run for re-election.
Frostteana Elmquist and Steve Moore both filed petitions for candidacy while Brian Akey met the deadline to be considered as a write-in candidate for the upcoming election. Akey's name will not appear on the ballot.
J.C. Peckham
After spending nearly eight months on the City Council, Peckham said he is still learning. "I'm getting my feet wet and realize I can stand up and say what I think and what I feel," he added. "It's been a big learning experience."
Peckham looks forward to continue learning and helping address different issues if elected.
Keeping the city financially viable is another thing Peckham believes in. "I'm always out in the public and always listening to what people have to say," he said. He went on to say he is always open to talk about issues with people.
Growth is important as well. "That's probably the biggest thing," he added. "Keeping us moving in the right direction."
Peckham said feedback has been positive both with regard to him being on the council and what they have accomplished. "People think our council before now got really closed off and they think now it's starting to open up." he said. "That's not a knock against councils in the past, but that's public opinion."
"I want to make sure in every discussion we have, all sides are represented," Peckham said. "That they are at least brought up in the conversation, and if they are immediately dismissed, that's fine."
Peckham was born in Yuma and moved to Holyoke when he was 5. He has been employed by PC Telcom as the lead cable technician since 2005.
He began at Charter Communications before working for the City of Holyoke. When PC Telcom purchased the cable system he went to work for them.
He received a degree in telecommunications from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla.
He also spent eight years in the Marine Corps. After a six-month tour in Iraq in 2003, he settled down and married his wife, Natalie. He has three children, Bradley Coyne, Alison Coyne and Victoria Erickson.
When Peckham put his name in for consideration to fill the vacant seat last summer, his decision to do so came from a combination of things. He has always had an interest in the government and his mother (Connie) had served on the board in the past.
Frostteana Elmquist
Elmquist has spent her entire life in the area and knows Holyoke well. She grew up near Amherst and attended HHS.
She attributes her decision to run for election to learning. She wants to learn how things are done with the council. Of course, that's not the only reason.
"I think this town needs to grow and needs some diversity," Elmquist said. "I want to see some change."
She said she just recently decided to put her name in the mix. She also said some of her co-workers at Ampride pushed her along to make the decision.
If elected, she looks forward to the learning process of being involved with the council and how decisions are made.
Keeping the younger generation in town is something else she is passionate about. The growth she hopes for is something she hopes would help keep that generation around.
She began working at Ampride in 2007 and was a housewife before that. Elmquist has four children, Greg 26, Dale 21, Stephnie 19 and Michaela 16. She also has four grandchildren.
Steve Moore
After spending nearly 20 years in Holyoke, Moore said it's time to get involved.
"I've been thinking about running for awhile," Moore said. "I just thought it was right."
Promoting the businesses and everything Holyoke has to offer is important to Moore.
"I think the city does a really good job," Moore said. "There's some youth on the council now. I think the city as a whole has to look to the youth."
He said he has seen more youth come back to Holyoke—most of which are agriculture related.
If elected, Moore said he is willing to listen to everyone. "You can't make everyone happy, but we need to do what's best for the city. You've got to look at the whole big picture of everything and do what's best for the city."
He currently sits on the board of directors for Western Potato and said he has an idea of how things are run on a board.
He grew up in Alliance, Neb. and moved to Holyoke in 1991 and began working for Western Potato. He currently serves as branch manager and has held that position for five years.
Moore attended Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis, Neb. Moore and wife, Dusty have three children, Canyon 13, Tobin 10 and Ashton Robles 5.
"I enjoy Holyoke," Moore said. "It is time to start getting involved more."
Brian Akey
Akey has lived in Holyoke for five years now and is ready to get more involved.
He serves as secretary on the golf course board and is ready to do more. "This is another way to get involved in the community," he added.
He attended school at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kan. and ended up living there for 13 years. He and his wife Jeanette moved to Holyoke in 2005 where he began working at MV Equipment.
They moved from Perry, Kan. where he was involved with the 4-H and rodeo boards.
Getting a younger generation involved is important for Akey. He said looking around at different things in town, it seems as though the younger generation just isn't getting involved.
"Everybody talks, and no one wants to do," Akey said. "I'd like to do or actually try. Let's make sure we're spending our dollars the way they need to be spent," he said.
Keeping the golf course, ball park, pool and other attractions in shape so people will come here to use them is something else Akey believes in. Keeping money in town is important to him as well.
He said the support from his wife and friends has been good. "I've been here for five years and plan on staying," he added.

Excellent rugged bag
By Stevo
from Perth, Australia
Best Uses
Comments about Luminosity Action Camera Bag:
I needed a bag to store my underwater camera and housing in, for when I took it snorkelling, especially off the beach. I found that it was easily scratched in my diving bag with sand etc. This camera bag is great due to its drawstring design ( no zips which can fail due to sand etc) that is easy to open/ close, and ruggedness. The housing is quite large and all the other bags I saw were with zips and quite rigid, so flexibility-wise it really fits the bill. I could also see myself using it on holiday overseas. I would've preferred the padding all the way around, but this would've reduced its flexibility, a minor point really. Overall I can recommend it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

AMA Life Member Roy Craft (right) of Cocoa, Fla., had a Bike Week to remember this March. That's because the long-time adventure and dual-sport rider took delivery of Yamaha's new 2012 Super Ténéré -- the world's hottest adventure bike -- for riding in the 2011 AMA Yamaha Super Ténéré National Adventure Riding Series, courtesy of series sponsor Yamaha.
Craft was the winner in the annual drawing for a Yamaha Super Ténéré. The drawing included participants in the 2011 AMA Yamaha Super Ténéré National Adventure Riding Series. It was conducted by independent auditing and accounting firm Plante & Moran of Columbus, Ohio.
"It's difficult to put on these events, and it takes volunteers and support, and if it wasn't for the AMA clubs and Yamaha supporting adventure riding the way they do, these opportunities wouldn't exist," Craft said. "Of course, winning this bike is frosting on the cake and an unbelievable feeling, but the rides are great, and the people you meet on these rides are great."
David Docktor, Motorcycle Marketing Manager of Yamaha's Motorsports Group, said he's pleased to see the grand prize go to such an enthusiastic and dedicated adventure rider.
"Adventure riders embody some of motorcycling's best elements -- from exploring the unknown to pushing your limits -- and we're sure Roy will put his new Super Ténéré to the test," Docktor said. "For everyone else, we plan to have a Super Ténéré at many AMA ride events, so make sure you come out and see this class-leading motorcycle first hand."
Designed to ride for days, on and over just about any kind of terrain in comfort and style, the Yamaha Super Ténéré serves as the perfect inspiration for the AMA national adventure riding series.
Craft, who has participated in nearly all forms of motorcycling, said adventure riding is a new discipline that strikes all the right chords.
"I became a member back in the mid-1970s to race motocross in places like Lake Sugar Tree," said Craft. "Although I've moved away from competition, I still enjoy the camaraderie that you can find at organized rides, and you can find it at these adventure rides. You can experience great routes, go at your own pace and still bench race after the rides on Saturday night around a campfire."
With the 2012 season set to begin soon, stay tuned for exciting news on this year's adventure riding series. See AmericanMotorcyclist.com > Riding > Yamaha Adventure Riding for the 2012 schedule, latest news and updates.

Video: Vandals shut down Lincoln Memorial
Video: Looking For Who Vandalized The Lincoln Memorial
Video: Cops Hunt For Lincoln Memorial Vandal
Video: Pledge To Help Nation's Parks & Memorials
WASHINGTON (WUSA9/AP) -- The Lincoln Memorial has reopened after an act of vandalism led to its closure early Friday morning.
Update: A Virginia woman says she discovered the vandalism and reported it to U.S. Park Police about 1:30 a.m. Friday.
A splash of green paint was discovered at the base of the statue of President Lincoln and on the former president's lap shortly after 1:00 Friday morning. United States Park Police officials have since reopened the memorial, which was closed to the public for most of the day.
Investigators will review video from surveillance cameras to help determine the perpetrator of the vandalism.
One visitor and her children came from Tennessee to take in our national monument, but they couldn't get too close to the Lincoln Memorial.
"I think it's really sad, and I wish nobody would have done sought we could go up there," said the visitor.
Others called the vandalism disturbing and wondered out loud why anyone would splatter paint on the memorial.
Carol Johnson with the U.S. Park Service says preservationists will carefully clean and power wash the national treasure.
"Honestly, from a personal level it breaks my heart that somebody would do this, especially this year, the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. It's heartbreaking," Johnson told us.
Park Police are not releasing too many details but Johnson said, "What I can say is that we are responsible as far as law enforcement, and we were here, the officers were here where they have been at the appropriate time."
There are seven surveillance cameras mounted around the memorial and investigators will be taking a very close look at the video to determine who could have committed this crime.
The United States park Police said in a press release that "This type of reprehensible act is unfortunate but it did not permanently damage the memorial and this incident further underscores the need for the National Park Service to provide more funding and more personnel so as to provide a higher level of deterrence through officer presence."

Elie Saab is perhaps best known as a man who creates safe, winning choices for actresses to wear at red carpet events. This is not to say his dresses aren't very pretty, it's just to say that his Spring 2011 couture collection showed today and it is comprised of 41 floaty, flattering, feminine, red carpet-baiting looks. Since there's never too much to say about columns with lace and flowers in classic silhouettes and swirling trains, let's just imagine which actresses will show up in what.

I recently discovered the Fenlon style pack in CC3, which caused me to purchase it. For about 25 years I've been intending to expand Fenlon's MERP continent maps by hand with detailed maps of the areas on the North, South and East sides of the continent. But after finding the Fenlon style in CC3 I've finally made a serious effort to plan this out, since I can do it on the computer.
First I need to learn how to use CC3 to get the look I'm hoping for. In particular, I need to choose the right effects settings for the various features and types of terrain. I was disappointed in the number of scalable Fenlon-style symbols available in the style pack - just a handful of cliff, hill and mountain symbols that you have to repeat over and over. I guess I have to figure out how to embellish these by hand, and draw differently shaped downs, cliffs and plateaus by hand. I still haven't figured out how to use the Fenlon marsh hatch style. Anyhow, hopefully with some care I'll manage to get what I'm aiming for.

As a life long Packers fan this makes my blood boil. On one hand..if you can play at that level and still want to super...but on the other...dude...the Vikes? Seriously? Do you know how much bulls**t I'm going to have to listen to from my Aunt?
Source: Favre Will Be At Viking's Training Camp - cbs4.com
Wow, sucks for Sage.
Kansas wears Adidas.
Oh come on good for the Vikes! Go Bears, you made our season that much easier. The only person I feel sorry for is Sage.
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
I figure Favre will shatter like glass around game 3 or so, and Sage will ride in and save the day for the Vikes. Watching the Packer faithful go into full meltdown is worth the price of admission

awww.... crap....
I can see the next headline after camp: Sage beats out Farve, legend retires again.
I love it...I hope he plays for Minnesota and takes them to the SB. That would be the best story ever.
I dont know how to feel...I am numb

There is no way that Sage beats him out. Even if he is better in camp, Favre will be #1.

You can say that, but aside from his injury last year he was a top ten QB caliber.
I don't think this is so bad for Sage. He and TJ might be able to learn a little something from Favre. I'm not sure what, but maybe there is something there. Kind of depends on how Favre reacts I guess to the two of them.
I have no confidence that Favre will last too long into the season. The Vikings offensive line is pretty good, but I think they are going to miss Birk a lot more than they are letting on. Just not sure how good his protection will be. But then, he has what is probably the best backfield he has ever had, so who knows?
I am a little concerned about how the rest of the team looks at this. I think that will depend a lot on how Favre comes across to them too. If he walks in like he is the saviour of the team, I don't think that will go over too well with the other veterans.
It will be a circus. No doubt. ESPN and others will see to that. At least I know there will be plenty of Vikings coverage here on the west coast this year.

This was the first Lunacy I've ever purchased and I couldn't have picked a better scent for me. I *love* this and wish I had thought to get two bottles!
In the bottle: it smells like strawberry soda or strawberry bubble gum
Wet: bright, juicy strawberries dusted with sugar or swirled with sweet cream, against a backdrop of sun-warmed grass and dandelions. Like a strawberry picnic in a meadow.
As it dries: the strawberry mellows to a ripe sweetness and the scent of grass and dandelion sap becomes stronger. For a few moments I wondered if it was going to become too soapy, but just as the dandelion sap threatened to turn overwhelming, the berry scent returned and I was in heaven. It was like a strawberry memory, or a sweet berry kiss.
This lasted longer than I expected - hours after I tested it on my wrist I could still catch a whisper of strawberry. It wasn't a very strong scent, though, so I'll wear more today.
I'm going to be heartbroken when I run out of this!!

Finally tried them all
Sep. 29, 2015
When I ordered the variety pack, I thought I'd be coming back to buy my one or two favorite flavors but I'll be buying larger quantities of FOUR of my favorites. When you can only narrow a pack of 10 down to four (and there was only one I flat-out didn't like), it speaks well of all the flavors. I've been very popular at work during my taste tests and more than one person has told me I should sell the jerky.
This stuff is really good, folks. I would recommend the variety pack to give them all a try. The pepper & garlic one really surprised me, for example. I didn't think I'd care for it but it ended up on my top-four list. Hot Stick is #1, IMO.

These packs are the best! I used to use homemade merinades but these packs make a much more even tasting, better quality Jerky hands down. My kids now love the Jerky and I can't keep it in the house. I recommend the variety pack for a starter and then you can choose your favorites after that. Great product and great price!

Jerky Variety Pack is a winner.

Unsure which jerky flavor to get? Get the variety pack. I haven't disliked a single one, and it's fun to cycle through the flavors on a whim. I had anticipated finding just 1-2 favorites, but I'm back to order a few more variety packs instead. Super tasty!!

I have Been making home made Deer jerky for over 10 years, it is a BIG favorite for many of my friends and clients. All 5 of my Grandchildren expect Santa to leave some in their stockings.

SLAP YA MOMMA is what I named it, want this recipe email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

How much memory should the migration tool use? Right now it seems like it is loading all of the mailboxes into memory before it starts. Currently it is at ~800mb and counting. I'm not sure how large the exchange databases are... but there are 12 of them and they've been around for a few years. It still says that 0/12 mailboxes have been completed. Should I be worried?
Currently the system is at 2.5 / 3.1 gb of RAM + virtual memory. If it starts to hit the 2.9gb mark I will have to kill it.
Any ideas?
The EDB and STM files total 4.37 gb.
Do I need a bigger swap file??? :D

Roe v. Wade Stands After Four Decades
January 23, 2013
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Abortion opponents marked the 40th anniversary of the Roe ....
NO ICECREAM the TERM is a BLOODY ABORTION!
You can call dog crap "Tootsie Rolls" but they still taste like dog crap.
Just WHAT is the limit on your mind-f*** games????

The term is PRO-CHOICE
Most people in the PRO-CHOICE group would CHOOSE NOT to have an abortion, AND WOULD CHOOSE TO HAVE THE BABY...

Although I can go the religious angle, I understand there are nonbelievers, so I always try to frame my prolife argument from a legal stance. There are legal opinions at the state level granting rights to the unborn such as Unborn Victims of Violence Act (Laci Peterson) which states that any child in the womb at any stage of development is considered murdered when the mother is also killed. Recently in Alabama, it was decided that a mother exposing an unborn fetus to dangerous chemicals is endangering their child.
One can not have it both ways. Either that fetus is just a mass of cells that can be cut away at the mother's choice or it is a child yet to be among society and deserves rights of all human beings. If you are prochoice, you have to feel sorry for the poor schmucks doing jail time for what Roe v Wade allows women to do legally.

Triton, although I've al;ways been a "choice" man on this issue, the medical evidence is now pretty clear that 20 weeks is too late However, I still strongly disagree with the "moment of conception" crowd. That position is strongly grounded in their particular religious view. That said, I don't think its fair to blame the President because Congress didn't legislate the issue during his first term. Neither did his predecessor with much the same info. With all the emotion and religious fervor surrounding the issue, you can throw out the book on reason. Besides, as I posted yesterday, its tough to get anything through the Senate without a super majority. Maqybe someday, when there's 50 republicans and 50 dems, they will agree to change the Senate Rules.

It is a typical American circus. So you have Obama saying swell, BUT he did not convert Roe from a court decision to a national law in his first term when he had total dominance over the Congress. Wonder why? Maybe he is a phony on ths issue. And it does NOT depend on who you ask, in a survey, it is HOW you ask. I think that there is at least a bare majority who favor abortion, but if you ask about abortion at 20 weeks (currently also legal) where the fetus has a face, a heartbeat, etc, then not very many people favor that abortion. The issue has been highjacked by radical right and left politcians and there is Obama who has never done ANYTHING positive to support Roe V. Wade even in election campaigning. And then there is the bizarre truth that the woman that the left used in their court actions to obtain a federal court ruling making abortion legal, has renounced abortion. It is true she expressed her regrets about it and yet the radical left still chants her name. Wild stuff.

Well Ironic that "ROE" CHANGED her mind in 2005 and announced she MADE A BIG MISTAKE, she is OPPOSED to Abortion!
"Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) appeared tonight with her lawyer, Allen Parker, to announce that she has changed her mind about abortion and wants to see Roe vs. Wade overturned. Her lawyer will be filing with the Supreme Court tomorrow morning to have the original ruling overturned. 1/17/05
"Norma McCorvey stated tonight that she had felt responsible "for all the children murdered" until she was "saved through the blood of the lamb" Her lawyer added that abortion hurts women physically which is a fact unknown previously.When Colmes asked Roe if more women didn't die from illegal abortions,she claimed that she didn't know.Parker claimed that suicides among women who had abortions are very high."
Do you EVER hear this fact when discussing Roe V Wade?
of COURSE not!!! Can't let the FACTS get in the way of BIASED BELIEF!

Nifty Napkin Rings
Gone are the days when you needed to master origami-like pleats and fans with your napkins to make an impression. Now, if you want to make your dining table dinner-party ready in a flash, there's no easier fix than using some snazzy napkin rings. I've scoured the web and found some interesting — and unusual — rings all guaranteed to impress your guests.
1. I couldn't help but smile when I spotted Jonathan Adler's cute glazed stoneware critters. Adorable and $18 apiece.
2. Pottery Barn's "Maxfield" silver-plated rings have a timeless appeal. $30 for a set of six.

4. These napkin rings from Chilewich, available at Design Public, look like they'd be as hardwearing as the rest of the Chilewich line. $18 for a set of two.
5. Michael Aram's "Black Orchid" napkin rings are like jewelry for your table. $69 for a set of two at Bloomingdales.

|Multi-car pile-up opens season
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Phillips County Raceway fans witnessed a multi-car pile-up, right in front of the grandstands, at the onset of the Modifieds Feature Race Sunday night, May 24.
No one was injured, and all but three cars were able to return to the track for the race.
Twenty-one cars were headed to the green flag when one of the front cars died or sputtered. At that point, the other cars had nowhere to go, and cars started piling up. It appeared to be about 10 cars deep in the pile-up.
Local racers involved in the pile-up were Garrett Sporhase of Holyoke, Justin Bussell of Imperial, Neb. and Jim Gronewald of Wray. Sporhase was able to return to the race to place fourth. The other two did not return.
Sporhase emphasized the cars are built to protect drivers, and he has not seen many injuries at the track.
New to the grandstands-filled crowd was the size of the track at Phillips County Raceway. Volunteers recently put in countless hours to convert it to a 3/8 mile track instead of a half-mile.
The west end was moved 330 feet to the east, and the pit area is now located west of the track itself, instead of in the interior of the track. This allows for better viewing of the north side from the grandstands.
All other tracks are 3/8 mile, so Phillips County Raceway's conversion makes it easier for drivers to come here and also for local drivers to compete elsewhere. In order to race on the half-mile track, drivers had to change their rear end gear ratios. The new track makes it easier to come and go to other raceways.
Heginbotham Trust provided funds for the racetrack conversion, and numerous other entities provided supply and service discounts and donations. Volunteers completed the project.
The next races at Phillips County Raceway will be held Sunday, June 7, starting at 6 p.m.
May 24 race results

Sessa Fly 45By Kevin Koenig
Flying High
The Sessa Fly 45 combines slick styling detail with a massive flying bridge built for entertaining.
Jad Migliorini knows style. Milanese by luck and a cosmopolite by choice, the sales manager for Sessa Marine always seems to look like he just stepped out of a GQ ad, fresh from some scene where the espresso is artfully brewed, and the sunlight glances off the cobblestone streets just so. Migliorini's shirts are well tailored, his loafers tastefully exotic, and a pair of keyhole sunglasses perches haphazardly atop his head as if he forgot they were even there. In short, he has a firm grasp on the Italian concept of sprezzatura, the practice of putting unseen and calculated effort into looking totally effortless. So when a guy like this stands in the middle of a boat's saloon—in this case Sessa's new Fly 45—and, gesturing to the crisp cookies-and-crème color scheme within, explains in accented English, "These are the colors you want. This is timeless, this will always be in style," you'd be wise to listen to the man.
That saloon is certainly charming, replete as it is with soft leathers contrasted with a rich walnut sole. These European details are all the more striking when observed in their typically American layout, which features a port-side galley that is totally open to the rest of the space. "For conviviality!" Migliorini nearly chirped. It's evident Sessa has gone to great pains to "Americanize" this boat, not only with the main deck's layout, but also with its Elegance Package, a bundle of options—including amenities like an electrically adjustable helm seat, LED spotlights, and underwater lights—designed to ease the burden of customization for the American buyer. What's more, Sessa has taken to fixing the prices of its boats in dollars so the company takes on the risk of a fluctuating Euro. With all this focus on the U.S. market then, it's no surprise that Sessa is also aggressively seeking out stateside dealers to distribute its boats.
Perhaps the company is so hot to sell the 45 because it knows it's got a good thing going. Positioned in the marketplace as a competitor to similarly conceived builds from Azimut and Princess, the boat is a well-designed, functional, and gamely athletic cruiser that's definitely built to party. The main deck boasts an interior helm station to starboard that has surprisingly good lines of sight. To be truthful, I wasn't expecting much. In my opinion, European boats oftentimes tend to trade sleek lines for a claustrophobic lower helm that would send most any captain scrambling to the topside pilot seat in all but the worst conditions. Not so on this boat. A standard Raymarine display aids with navigation while the captain pilots the boat from a leather-accented helm flanked by refreshingly large windows that open electrically to allow for a cross breeze.
Below, the accommodations can be configured with either two or three cabins, though the three-cabin layout on my test boat feels like a no-brainer to me. My reasoning here is twofold. First, the two-cabin model allows for a second galley, which seems like wasted space on a 45-footer. And second, if you're only looking for two cabins, Sessa offers a similar 40-footer with just such a configuration that sells for about $215,000 less. Seems to me that if you just require the two cabins you might as well get the smaller model and buy a couple of Porsches or send a kid to a private, four-year college with the leftovers. But I could be wrong.
The highlight on this deck is doubtlessly the forepeak master. The cabin has a king-size berth with well-laid-out steps and a full 6 feet 7 inches of headroom. Smallish portholes don't do much by way of lighting the space, but Sessa took care of that with a large hatch that lets in enough sunlight to keep the cabin airy. The en suite head follows suit, particularly in the shower compartment where spacious measurements indicate this boat is ready for the stereotypically broad shoulders of the American customer. I stepped into the compartment myself and had plenty of room, and suffice it to say that my shoulders would split Migliorini's shirt seams. Abaft the master the 45 has those two guest cabins, perhaps most notable for their large walnut lockers, designed to keep guests dressed to kill at dockside soirees. (Leave it to the Italians to build lots of closet space on a boat.)
The 45 Fly enjoys all this interior volume in part due to Sessa's penchant for putting IPS drives on its vessels, including all of its models over 40 feet. In this case the 45 has twin Volvo Penta 435-horsepower IPS600s in a clean and orderly engine room. Which is not to say that the space is particularly roomy—headroom is at a premium and when I crawled in between the engines my hips were flush to them—but that's not altogether uncommon on a boat of this size or type, and also serves as a not-so-subtle reminder to stick to your diet.
Performance-wise however, those powerplants left little to desire. The boat impressed with a sporty 32-knot two-way average at wide-open throttle, and a 24-knot cruise near 3000 rpm. Meanwhile her hull handled the 2- and 3-foot swells easily, providing a soft ride throughout as we glided over the glinting midwinter Atlantic. Hardover at cruise the boat came around in about four boat lengths—so she's no clod by any stretch—but for me personally, I'd like to see those pods dialed in to make the turning a little bit tighter so the boat's responsiveness is more in line with her unmistakably sleek look and feel.
I ran the performance test from the boat's flying bridge helm, which is still the optimal place to drive a sun-worshiping vessel like this, no matter how good the sightlines are below deck. The topside helm is part of a flying bridge that—mark my words—will leave your guests chattering, namely because of its relative enormity. A forward sunpad is certainly appreciated by the tanning masses but is not particularly unexpected. What is noteworthy is the bridge's full overhang above the cockpit, which is the genesis of this deck's commanding sense of space. The aft portion of the bridge is reserved for seating and entertaining since a tender just shy of 10 feet in length can stow on the teak swim platform. Wraparound seating accommodates up to nine people while a foldout dining table stands at the ready for service of wine and crostini. Overhead a bimini top that comes standard with the Elegance Package provides shade if needed while a standard grill and bar unit will help keep your guests fueled up to party the night away.
Migliorini likes this part of the boat in particular, and could barely contain his excitement while showing off the grill and aft seating. "It's like this," he said, gesturing to the expanse of the deck. "You come up here with friends, you maybe have a little bit of wine … you stay up late … and then in the morning …" he flipped his sunglasses down from his head, flopped down on the bench seat, and lay grinning in the sun, totally motionless, completely silent. For a moment it seemed as if he had forgotten I was even there. Actually, in retrospect, maybe I should have gone down to the galley and whipped him up an espresso.

The Great Outdoors
Central Park
So much to do and see, you can spend days here. I love the intimate zoo, the free Shakespeare in the park during summer, and the often photographed Bethesda Fountain. I also have fond memories of telling stories to children in front of the Hans Christian Andersen statue, where professional storytellers and librarians have held free programs every summer for many years. You can read more on the New York Public Library blog.
New York Botanical Garden
One of my favorite "escapes" from the hustle and bustle of the city, was a subway and bus ride to this lovely garden paradise.
Ride the Staten Island Ferry
You can take a ride from Manhattan to Staten Island, with some of the best views in town, for FREE!
Cultural Institutions
Metropolitan Museum of Art
As a child I always wanted to "run away" and live in New York City, after reading From the mixed-up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg. After graduate school, I did just that, and spent many hours wandering around this magnificent institution.
And of course, I cannot forgot one of the greatest libraries in the Country, The New York Public Library. The iconic main research library, also known as the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, which most people associate with this library, is located on Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street. There is a funny video re-enactment of the movie "Ghostbusters," filmed in support of the library due to impending budget cuts.
Many things have changed since I lived in New York City, but here are some good eats that are still around.
H & H Bagels - Broadway and 80th St. Upper West Side is my favorite. Multiple locations, and online ordering is available. Often times you can get some hot fresh bagels, and there is nothing like it.
Frozen Hot Chocolate:
Serendipity 3 - 225 E. 60th between 2nd and 3rd Aves. Upper East Side. Try this on a hot day, it's divine.
Veniero's - 342 E. 11th St. (First Ave.) East Village. A must for me whenever I visit New York. They are famous for cannoli, but I'm a sucker for their mini pastries and cookies.
John's Pizzeria - With multiple locations, my favorite is the original in Greenwich Village 278 Bleecker St. (between 6th Ave. & 7th Ave. S.).
Grimaldi's in Brooklyn - 19 Old Fulton St. A perfect treat after walking across the Brooklyn Bridge.
The place that started the craze… Magnolia Bakery. Now with multiple locations, there is always a line at the original Greenwich Village shop.
If you want to read stories with New York as a backdrop, try one of these titles:
- New York : the novel by Edward Rutherfurd
- The Alienist by Caleb Carr
- Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok (see previous blog/review)

I have to get out more.
How come I hadn't heard of an international superstar who has released 11 studio albums, one EP, three compilation albums, three live albums and 37 singles, selling more than 55 million records in a 29 year career?
Probably because I don't speak Italian or Spanish. Eros Luciano Walter Ramazzotti is one of the world most popular entertainers – born in Italy and fluent in Spanish as well as Italian (he records in both languages) – and he has also recorded duets with the likes of Ricky Martin, Joe Cocker, Cher, Tina Turner, Andrea Bocelli, Anastacia and Luciano Pavarotti.
Naturally, Eros would have a huge following in multi-cultural countries like Australia, which would explain how he is playing the large arenas. You can catch him at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, November 20.
For anyone else unfamiliar (or indeed fans) below is a link to one of Eros's hits, Parla Con Me (Talk With Me)

Since there are a lot of questions about this, I thought I'd be nice and put together a HOW TO GUIDE for breeding, breed mastery, making your horses retire at older ages & how to make the best of the breedings!
1. You start by training your SUPER HAPPY horse in the roundpen in whatever discipline(s) you choose. You unlock level 1 with 2 iterations in the round pen, level 2 with 3 round pen trainings, level 3 with 4 trainings...so on and so forth. Each 'level-up' in training unlocks a breeding badge. Once your horse has maxed out her training and has retired, this is the best time to then breed your horse. To see how many breeding badges your horse has (or to see your horse's progress in training), click the '+' sign next to her photo.
2. So, now I go to breed my horse in the breeding station, I choose a horse to breed with of Michelle's, then I get to the breeding window:
3. From here, I see I have used 0 out of 6 badges and I have 2/9 badges to level up my 'breed mastery' in this breed. So I start shifting & modifying the foal's traits until I have used all 6 of my mare's breeding badges:
4. Now once the foal is bred, I will have a 8/9 in my breeding mastery. One more breeding will take me to the next level, which will make my horses retire at older ages. To see your current breed mastery, click on the ribbon ****on on the bottom right hand corner of the screen:
5. Then click on breed mastery.
The higher the breeding mastery level, the older your horses will be able to retire! Which means you can unlock more breeding badges!

ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) — Big Mouth Billy Bass apparently got the best of a would-be burglar in Minnesota.
Authorities in Rochester say the motion-activated singing fish apparently scared off an intruder who tried to break into the Hooked on Fishing bait and tackle shop.
The novelty bass, similar to the one in the video below, had been hung near the door and would start singing "Take Me to the River" whenever someone entered the shop.
The Olmsted County Sheriff's Office says the fish was found on the floor after the intruder knocked it down while breaking the door to get in late Sunday or early Monday.
Sgt. Tom Claymon tells the Star Tribune the would-be burglar left without stealing anything, including cash that had been left in "a very visible spot."

GREENBELT, Md. (WUSA) -- Not all consumers are receiving free colorectal cancer screenings as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Kaiser Family Foundation reported.
According to the report, consumers may face cost sharing depending on the provider, insurance that administers plan and the state the person lives in. The study came about after several consumer complaints of unexpected colonoscopy bills, the foundation stated.
The report, Title, states that these unwarranted charges occur when the health care provider codes the procedure as a diagnostic instead of a preventative. The Kaiser Family Foundation says "additional clarification from the federal government could reduce coverage inconsistencies."

SKorea's 1st female leader yet to hire many women
SEOUL, South Korea The country with the developed world's biggest gender income gap now has its first female president, but Park Geun-hye already has South Koreans wondering whether she'll improve the status of women in a society still dominated by men.
Wearing a traditional Korean dress of red and gold silk, Park strode up the steps of the presidential Blue House after her inauguration Monday. So far, she has chosen only two women to join her in top positions - two less than a male liberal predecessor.
Park faces expectations that she will do something about pervasive sexism, and many other issues. Those include authoritarian rival North Korea, which conducted a nuclear test two weeks ago and warned Monday of a fiery death for Seoul and its ally Washington.
South Korea also struggles with deep societal rifts that many trace back to the 18-year dictatorship of Park's father. With a stagnant economy and job worries, there's pressure for Park, a member of the conservative ruling party, to live up to campaign vows to return to the strong economic growth her father oversaw - the so-called Miracle on the Han River.
Park's election in December was an important moment for women in South Korea, who on average earn nearly 40 percent less than men, the largest gap among the 26 member nations of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development. South Korean women are often paid less for doing the same work as men and seldom rise to the top of high-profile industries.
During her presidential campaign, Park criticized "traditionally male-centered politics" for corruption and power struggles, saying that "South Korean society accepting a female president could be the start of a big change."
Critics, however, are taking note that Park has nominated women for only two of 18 Cabinet posts - and that one of those positions, the minister responsible for gender equality, hasn't been held by a man since being launched in 2001. Park's conservative predecessor, Lee Myung-bak, also nominated two women to start his term, while former President Roh Moo-hyun, Lee's liberal predecessor, named four.
Kyunghyang Shinmun, a liberal daily newspaper, pointed out in a recent editorial that there are no women among the 12 officials tapped as senior presidential advisers.
Park's nomination of so few women is disappointing, as there was a high public expectation for better gender equality in her Cabinet, said Park Seon-young, a researcher at the government-affiliated Korean Women's Development Institute in Seoul.
Park either didn't search hard enough for qualified women for her Cabinet, the researcher said, or such women were filtered out during a screening process.
Park's inauguration was attended by at least one other female world leader, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. U.S. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon and Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso also attended.
Before Park took her oath of office, South Korean superstar PSY performed his global hit "Gangnam Style" before tens of thousands. Children and the elderly alike joined him in the contagious horse-riding dance he made famous in the song's video.
In her inauguration speech, Park mentioned North Korea's Feb. 12 nuclear test, its third since 2006, calling it "a challenge to the survival and future of the Korean people" and saying Pyongyang should abandon its nuclear ambitions and work for peace.
"There should be no mistake that the biggest victim will be none other than North Korea itself," she said.
As Park was sworn in, North Korea's state media, referring to the North as a "full-fledged nuclear weapons state," criticized Seoul and Washington over annual military drills that Pyongyang calls an invasion rehearsal, warning that the allies would "die in flames" if they attack.

Good exposure for CJL and co....should be another big year.
It is so nice looking at our team at the end of every year knowing, not hoping, that we've got yet another good year ahead of us. That is when you know you've got a good program.

True. The only real concern I see is how the team adjusts from losing an AA setter in Landwehr. Three years ago, when she took over for Mann's. There was a slight setback (if you call getting knocked out in the first round of the tourney a setback.). It took Ali a little while to get comfortable, and it didn't help that Hockaday was lost for the season the very first game. Add to that the flood displacing them, and the two All-American seniors that year, Henson and Maas, were really not the type of energy in-your-face leaders than Mann was the previous several years.
Of course we know how Ali turned out, and look for Jenelle to carry on in her own way. Hahn is still in there to energize and lead on the court, and the talented Sophomore class should keep us from missing two of the previous highest-rated recruits the school has had.
Do we know how they're going to align things this year yet? Could Malloy still be a setter in some rotations, or is she going to be a hitter?
Our recruiting has been off the charts, and I think that it will continue. Maybe not even great players but players that fit in Christy's system, or are under the radar. Fan support and success will carry that in a conference with a national power like UT.
I hope there's not a fall off in KU, KSU. or OU, though. Metro Sports didn't commit to the KSU game like they have in past. Is that because of what they lost? Baylor has had some glimmers of being good, but we need the conference to take a step forward.
From what I have discerned from other posts and articles, it sounds like Jenelle will be the setter. Not that they couldn't set up some plays for Malloy to get a set to catch the defense out of position. Sounds like Jenelle has some hops for whew she's in the front row.
Not sure on OU and KSU, but I think KU is going to be improved.
I'm ready for the season. I like the new promotional video Inside Iowa State Volleyball 2013:
It's easiest to find under "Features".
We'll see how things roll. With this schedule, I think we'll know fairly quickly what kind of team we'll be.

When I talked to CJL during the tailgate tour, it sounds like Jenelle will be the setter. Coach did not like what she saw with the 6-2 experiment in the spring. She did say that Jenelle was ahead of where Landwehr was; the only thing lacking is consistency.
NFL: Buffalo Bills
NHL: Buffalo Sabres
NBA: Buffalo Braves
MLB: Pittsburgh Pirates, Toronto Blue Jays
I'm excited to see what freshman MB Samara West brings; from the little video I've seen on her, she looks very athletic, almost like a Texas athlete just underrated cuz she didn't play much aau.
