Career Assessments
The key to choosing an appropriate major or career direction is to identify some critical information about yourself, understand how that information relates to careers, and understand how well those careers will meet your individual needs.
Questions you may be asking yourself include:
- What interests me?
- What do I value?
- What am I good at doing?
- How do my personal characteristics and interests relate to career choices?
Exploring these questions through assessment tools will help you discover more about yourself and guide you to academic majors and careers most appropriate for you. A little time spent now to increase your knowledge about yourself and the world of work can save you considerable time, money and effort in the long run.
So what does a self assessment examine? A self assessment examines your values, interests, personality, and skills. More specifically, self assessments examine:
Value Inventories
Value inventories measure how important different values are to you. Examples of these values, which also play an important role in one's job satisfaction, include autonomy, prestige, security, interpersonal relations, helping others, flexible work schedule, outdoor work, leisure time, and a high salary. Work Importance Profiler (www.cacareerzone.org)
Interest Inventories
The questions in an interest inventory asks you about your likes and dislikes regarding various activities. The premise of this self assessment tool is that people who share similar interests will also enjoy the same type of work. Examples of interests are reading, music, running, playing golf, and knitting. Strong Interest Inventory (www.online.cpp.com)
Personality Inventories
A personality inventory looks at one's individual traits, motivational drives, needs, and attitudes. The most frequently used personality inventory is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI) and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II.
Skill or Aptitude Assessment
In addition to determining what and how well you perform, a skills assessment also helps you figure out what you enjoy doing. The skills you use in your career should combine both characteristics. You can use the results of the skills assessment to make some changes by acquiring the skills you need for a particular career. (www.kuderjourney.com)
The following self assessment tools are offered at Career Development Center for your convenience:
- Kuder Journey (www.kuderjourney.com) or click here for instructions
- California Career Zone (www.cacareerzone.org)
- Strong Interest Inventory (See a Career Counselor for more information)
We recommend you use more than one career assessment before making a decision and strongly encourage you to seek assistance in interpreting and discussing your individual results.

Invigorated by the impending milestone 0.12 release of Node.js, and inspired by this ever expanding and evolving community, we set out on the ultimate Node.js roadtrip to knowledge share, learn, and connect.
Joyent is sponsoring Node.js on the Road, a roadshow aimed at keeping the community connected with the project and production users of Node.
Why attend DevBeat 2013? To start, speakers and track topics reflect the antithesis of a cacophonous expo, which too often focuses on show without the telling of much.
Node Knockout 2013's competition phase concluded on Sunday night exactly 48 hours after it kicked off at Joyent's headquarters in San Francisco.
Joyent's Future Stack scholarship sponsorship of an under-represented developer population: women.
The nodeconfeu conference in beautiful Waterford, Ireland was, like nodedublin last year, an excellent chance to learn about all things node.js. I want to thank Cian O'Maidin (and staff) once again for another great conference. Hopefully, I'll be back next year.
OmniTI CEO and founder talks about the history of the Surge conference and what's in store this year
This year's NodeConf was a success both in and outside the classroom.

Here are two upcoming web-based events where we'll be delivering updates and deeper technical information regarding the future of Nodestack.
At first Node Milestone Meetup, we reflected on the explosion of Node projects since 2011 and what the future holds for v1.0.
We're hosting two Node Milestone meetups this month taking a closer look at how Node.js is measuring up as we move towards v1.0.

Pick The Ego-Rama Team 2005Written by on July 15, 2005 Contributors: Ego-Rama Entrants
In just five years, it has exploded into America's greatest automotive competition. Six of the cars on these pages will be battling it out for that special brand of glory that only comes from one event: the Asphalt Ego-Rama, Rod & Custom's exclusive performance shootout of hot rods and custom cars. The cars aren't show queens, and they're not dragstrip rats. They're real-world, built-right rods and customs that can do it all--stop, go, corner, stay on the road for hours without breaking a sweat, and make people stop and stare. The Asphalt Ego-Rama isn't a race, and it isn't a beauty contest. It's a one-of-a-kind on-the-road experience that takes camaraderie and competition, throws them together, and doesn't let the action stop until we've got one winner.
So who gets to play in R&C's prestigious playground? That's up to you. We published an entry form in the April issue, and have reduced the pile of entries down to the 15 semi-finalists pictured on these pages. Now it's your job to tell us which six will be there when the Asphalt Ego-Rama '05 hits the road. You might notice that we have a few repeat entrants. That's because, in addition to liking their cars, we like their persistance. Will that persistence pay off? We'll find out when we count the votes. Your ballot and instructions are at the end of this article.
Acceleration: Dragstrip testing determines the quickest 1/4-mile elapsed time. Lowest e.t. gets the most points. The highest gets the least.
Braking: The car that gets from 60-to-0 mph in the shortest distance wins.
Cornering: We throw down the cones and point the radar gun. Zip through the pylons in the quickest time to win the category.
Gas Mileage: We'll fill the tanks and hit the road to calculate every car's mpg fuel efficiency.
Ride & Drive: Members of the R&C staff ride shotgun (or drive, depending on if we can sweet talk our way into the driver seat) during the road trip to evaluate the ride quality, comfort, practicality, and overall impression. Don't even think about bringing a trailer, unless you're pulling it with your rod.
Engineering: R&C staffers will judge your car for technical and functional excellence, fit and finish, quality of workmanship, imagination, and attention to detail.
Budget: It's all about low-buck. We estimate the cost of duplicating each car and award the highest points to the best budget-built ride.
People's Choice: We'll take the Ego-Rama to a car show, and let the spectators vote for their favorite of the bunch.
Style: This category is about the participants, not the cars. It rewards sportsmanship, positive attitude, and overall contribution to the fun and success of the event.
Pick Six
We've got 15 favorites on the ballot, but only six get to compete in the Asphalt Ego-Rama '05. Vote for your six favorites by checking the appropriate boxes and mail this page (or a photocopy) to us. * One ballot per person. Duplicate ballots will not be accepted
* You must pick six cars for your ballot to be counted
* You can also vote at the end of this article. Only one vote per computer will be counted.
Mail your ballot to:
Ramp;C Asphalt Ego-Rama,
774 S. Placentia Ave.
Placentia, CA 92870 Ballots must be received by Sept. 9, 2005. Finalists will be notified by September 18. We will announce the finalists on our Web site at www.rodandcustommagazine.com. Click on the next page to view the participants and their cars. There you'll be able to cast your vote for the six you think should compete in the 2005 Rod amp; Custom Asphalt Ego-Rama.
'47 Oldsmobile Convertible
Denise Sheldon
Livonia, Michigan
Why we picked it: Denise enters year after year, and we like that never-give-up attitude. Plus, she's spent the last year making a bunch of sheetmetal mods on the 455-powered Olds, including a completely reworked hood and some fresh custom paint. Will her friends on the HAMB help Denise finally get into the Ego-Rama this year? We'll find out.
Why Denise thinks she deserves your vote: "If the Oldsmobile was chosen, I would be able to represent the females who are in the hot rodding hobby."
'23 Ford T Roadster
Dave Eltzholtz
Bonsall, California
Why we picked it: Dave built his hand-fabricated T completely himself (and we mean completely) in the style of the old European sports car builders. He even learned to TIG weld to get the job done. The bare-metal roadster-with-a-top runs a Chevy small-block, and has been driven all over the United States in the last three years. It's outstanding.
Why Dave thinks he deserves your vote: "I need your vote so we can find out if my low-buck, homebuilt performs!"
'56 Oldsmobile Coupe
Jim Sheldon
Livonia, Michigan
Why we picked it: Maybe we just love the bloodhound stance of Jim's two-tone Olds, or the ZZ4 hiding under it's hood. Or the fact that Jim drove a '56 Olds across Route 66 with his wife and daughter in 1962 to report to Navy duty. Or that his daughter Denise now has an Oldsmobile of her own--and it's also on this ballot. See where this is going?
Why Jim thinks he deserves your vote: "It's a homebuilt hot rod that should do well in most of the categories."
'47 Ford Coupe
Corey R. Cummings
Sacramento, California
Why we picked it: We'd really love to see this big ol' '47 snaking through the cones in our cornering test. And with a bunch of Corvette C4 suspension parts, it would probably catch everybody by surprise. Add an EFI Ford 302 crate mill, Art Carr automatic, and Corey's lead-loaded right foot, and this coupe could make trouble for five other egos.
Why Corey thinks he deserves your vote: "It's a low-buck, Ford-in-a-Ford rod, certified by the California Highway Patrol to do at least 102 mph."
'59 Chevy Biscayne
Jerry & Cheryl Krob
Wichita, Kansas
Why we picked it: Jerry and Cheryl sent us a stack of buildup photos, so we know the amount of work and level of details that went into their Porsche Guard Red Chevy. The stock body and frame have been extensively reworked, the 350 mill amply muscled up, and the interior entirely redone. Now that we know how it looks, we wonder how it runs.
Why Jerry and Cheryl think they deserve your vote: "Being chosen will validate the many hours of labor, loving, cursing, and complaining we've put into our '59 Chevy."
'32 Ford Roadster
Jim Shelton
Las Vegas, Nevada
Why we picked it: When it comes to hot rodding, Jim just gets it. Whenever we go to a show, his small-block Deuce roadster is there. Jim, a drag racer in the '60s, says he took the inspiration for his high-mileage traditional '32 (he's put 31k miles on it in just two years) from early hot rodders who used their cars for fun and performance, as well as daily transportation.
Why Jim thinks he deserves your vote: "I have so much fun driving this car, I just don't want to put it in the garage."
'36 Ford Coupe
Al Cook
Burlington, Ontario, Canada
Why we picked it: It's owner-built from an all-original rust-free car on an owner-built chassis, which you've got to respect. It has all of the original trim. It looks fat, but it's loaded with muscle--in the form of a mega-torque 454 Chevy Rat motor and a TH400. It's covered a lot of miles. It's from Canada, which would make the Ego-Rama a truly international event.
Why Al thinks he deserves your vote: "It's a blast to drive around the corner and on long- distance trips, but more importantly, it gives the antiquers heartburn when they hear I rodded an original car."
'32 Ford Roadster
Alan Malarski
Elgin, Illinois
Why we picked it: Here's another Deuce roadster for you folks to consider. Alan has driven his '32 through two engines, two paint jobs, 115,000 miles, 18 years, and some tough Chicago snow. A late-'60s 302 and C4 automatic keep it all Ford, and all owner-built. Could it add an Ego-Rama trophy to its impressive list of credentials?
Why Alan's '32 thinks it deserves your vote: "I'm a Deuce, homebuilt, with lots of horsepower and over 100,000 miles, and besides, if Al doesn't get picked he will cry!"
'26 Ford T Tub
Joe Davis
San Rafael, California
Why we picked it: We liked Joe's T enough to put it on the 2003 and 2004 ballots, and still like it just as much. The screaming yellow tub, running a Ford 302, is driven all over the West, and won an '03 Grand National Roadster Show award by just sitting there. It'll have to do more than that to win the Asphalt Ego-Rama. Third time's a charm. Want to give him a chance?
Why Joe thinks he deserves your vote: "It's a driver and a fun ride, but it still wins car shows, so why not vote for an old-school hot rod with no top, no heater, but lots of horsepower?"
'41 Dodge Business Coupe
Joel Dunn
Brooklyn, New York
Why we picked it: Joel is the Mopar crowd's only hope to defend Pentastar honor in the Asphalt Ego-Rama this year--especially since his tomato red business coupe is Chrysler on the inside, too. The 360ci engine is tied to a 727 transmission. And with some well-executed body modifications, the car's an absolute knockout as well.
Why Joel thinks he deserves your vote: "I thinks it's one cool car."
'41 Ford Coupe
Jack Parker
Muskegon, Michigan
Why we picked it: A 454 Chevy big-block powers Jack's chopped and dropped '41. In addition to being built to impress--with four-wheel discs, Chassis Engineering suspension goodies, and that Rat motor--this purple ego-eater can hold it's own in the looks and comfort department with a contemporary leather cockpit, and covers a lot of miles.
Why Jack thinks he deserves your vote: "It's a homebuilt hot rod that should do well in most of the categories."
'29 Ford Roadster
Rich "Pure Hell" Guasco
Pleasanton, California
Why we picked it: Any guy who first built his roadster in 1952, drag raced it for a decade before rebuilding it to win the AMBR title in 1961, drove it constantly for the next 35 years before restoring it for the 50th Grand National Roadster Show in 1999, and still enjoys driving it across country at a moment's notice definitely gets our vote! Besides the 450hp '29 on '32 'rails, Rich also still owns his restored original "Pure Hell" Fuel Altered. We'd love to have him along just for the stories.
Why Rich thinks he deserves your vote: "I always put on a good show and I don't believe in Second place."
'33 Ford Five-Window Coupe
Michael Maritschnig
Marina Del Rey, California
Why we picked it: Don't let the suede body throw you off--the finish is the only dull thing on Michael's unusual, chopped five-window. The small-block is fed by an electronic Hilborn injection system and hooked to a six-speed manual. A Porsche gave up its brakes to make sure this coupe stops when Mike stomps 'em. Anybody want to see how it performs?
Why Michael thinks he deserves your vote: "I built my car the old-school way--with my own hands in my own garage, with the inspiration of my friends, and good rock 'n' roll on the radio."
'50 Chevy Sport Coupe
Bruce Read
Grants Pass, Oregon
Why we picked it: Bruce paid the original owner's son $900 for a rusted hulk, restored it, then rodded it. He did all the work completely himself (from the Chevy 350 engine to the exhaust to the woodshed paint job--even the chrome). He tallied up his budget at just under $8,000. If voted in, Bruce will make the trip towing his camper behind the Chevy.
Why Bruce thinks he deserves your vote: "This is a real backyard, shade-tree, junkyard hot rod that is owner-built, using 90-percent old, used parts."
'46 Oldsmobile Coupe
Lyn Barrows
White Heath, Illinois
Why we picked it: The list of body mods on this Olds is incredible. They're hard to see, but there are flames painted on the body of Lyn's big boat, which was chopped, changed into a hardtop, and channeled over a '73 Cutlass frame. The Caddy 501 is connected to a TH400 with Gear Vendors split gears. He says it's fun and fast. We'd love to find out.
Why Lyn thinks he deserves your vote: "It is a full-bore custom that has as much go as it does show, was built to drive, and should perform well."

Standard Chart of Accounts For Indiana Counties
This standard chart of accounts was developed to try to meet the needs of all county users, the State Board of Accounts, other state agencies, and the citizens of Indiana. Counties may begin implementing the new chart of accounts at anytime and we encourage early implementation. All counties must implement the use of the new chart of accounts by January 1, 2012. The full chart of accounts contains a funds table, table of receipt accounts and table of disbursement accounts as a start to standardizing the record keeping and reporting of counties. These tables consist of multiple data elements for each fund, receipt account and disbursement account. All data elements must be associated with the applicable transaction or balance, even though they are not all contained in a single fund or account number. Although the transition may be tedious we are confident the use of a standard chart of accounts will ultimately help with training officials and reporting of financial information.

|Holyoke swimmers compete well in Goodland
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke swimmers traveled to Goodland, Kan. Saturday, June 29 for their final swim meet before league.
Forty swimmers contributed to Holyoke's fourth-place finish overall with nine first-place finishes and 186 points.
Goodland placed first with 296 points followed by, Colby, Kan. 216, Wray 197, Holyoke 186, Burlington 172, Oberlin, Kan. 168, Oakley, Kan. 90 and Flagler 48.
Coach Brenda Krueger noted the improvement of the 8 and under swimmers. She said they now have built up the endurance to compete in longer races.
Krueger also pointed out that the Goodland meet was good practice for the upcoming, two-day league meet. Swimmers were able to use the meet to get in some last minute practice and make any final adjustments.
Adria Colver thought it was a great meet with some very close and very successful races.
Colver said the team has been very blessed this year to have Amy Krogmeier serving as an assistant coach. Krogmeier, who was an outstanding competitor for Holyoke, has been working with all levels of swimmers this summer and will be missed when she returns to college.

Violent Crimes Against Children
It's nearly unthinkable, but every year thousands of children become victims of crime—whether it's through kidnappings, violent attacks, sexual abuse, or online predators.
The mission of our Violent Crimes Against Children program is threefold: first, to decrease the vulnerability of children to sexual exploitation; second, to develop a nationwide capacity to provide a rapid, effective, and measured investigative response to crimes against children; and third, to enhance the capabilities of state and local law enforcement investigators through programs, investigative assistance, and task force operations.
Our strategy involves using multi-disciplinary and multi-agency teams to investigate and prosecute crimes that cross legal, geographical, and jurisdictional boundaries; promoting and enhancing interagency sharing of intelligence, specialized skills, and services; and widely offering our victim/witness services. All for the express purpose of protecting our nation's greatest asset—our children.

The Dalton Highway stretches 414 miles across northern Alaska from Livengood (84 miles north of Fairbanks) to Deadhorse and the oilfields of Prudhoe Bay. Built during construction of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline in the 1970s, this mostly gravel highway travels through rolling, forested hills, across the Yukon River and Arctic Circle, through the rugged Brooks Range, and over the North Slope to the Arctic Ocean. Along most of its length, you'll see no strip malls, no gift shops, no service stations—just forest, tundra, and mountains, crossed by a double ribbon of road and pipe.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages a swath of public lands along the highway from the Yukon River to the north side of the Brooks Range. Within the Dalton corridor, the BLM maintains campgrounds, rest areas, interpretive panels and the award-winning Arctic Interagency Visitor Center in Coldfoot.
This is no ordinary road -- it pays to be prepared. There is no cell phone service or public Internet connection along the Dalton Highway. Before you embark on this incredible journey, read the tips on this website.

Learning to be a depth camera for close-range human capture and interaction
We present a machine learning technique for estimating absolute, per-pixel depth using any conventional monocular 2D camera, with minor hardware modifications. Our approach targets close-range human capture and interaction where dense 3D estimation of hands and faces is desired. We use hybrid classification-regression forests to learn how to map from near infrared intensity images to absolute, metric depth in real-time. We demonstrate a variety of human computer interaction scenarios.

PALERMO, Maine (AP) - Maine State Police say a 27-year-old man has died of his injuries resulting from a crash in Palermo.
Police say Dean Camacho of Waterville died during the night at Maine Medical Center in Portland, where he was taken after Wednesday's accident.
Camacho was a passenger in a Jeep driven by 23-year-old Christian Arsenault of China. Arsenault lost control of his vehicle on a curve, causing it to slam into an oncoming tractor trailer early Wednesday morning. Arsenault remains in critical condition at the Portland hospital.
Troopers say speed was the cause of the crash and the snowy weather played no role.

text: By Christy SheetsSports Writer On Tuesday, Feb. 12 the Wildcats traveled to Cambridge for the first round of the sub-district tournament. The Lady Cats had to face the Hayes Center Cardinals, and they were hoping for one more victory against this rival team this season. The Lady Cats took control of the court early, leaving the Cardinals a little out of step. As the buzzer sounded the Lady Cats were ahead by six, 18 to 12. The second quarter saw the Cardinals pick up their game, but the Cats were determined and unwilling to relinquish control. The Cats defense stepped up, and they matched the Cards shot for shot. The Lady Cats headed into the locker-room leading, 22 to 16. After half, inspired by their coach, the girls came out and outscored the Tigers by 12. The Lady Cats played an excellent quarter, and the third quarter ended 43 to 25. The Lady Cats continued to battle in the fourth quarter, but the Cardinals were determined to gain some momentum. The Cats fought hard, but the Cardinals fought harder, not wanting their season to end. In the end the early Wildcat lead was insurmountable. The Wallace Wildcats won their first match in the sub-district tournament, 53 to 38. Offensively, Daniels led the Cats with 25 points, followed by Sowle with 18 points. Griffiths and Hubbard each had four points, and Melton had two points. Leading the team with offensive rebounds were Sowle (five), Daniels (four), Griffiths two, Hubbard two, Melton (one), and Hayley Storm (one). Leading the team with assists were Daniels (four), Hubbard (three), Melton two, Sowle (one), and Griffiths (one). Defensively, Sowle led the Cats with four rebounds, four blocks, and one steal, followed by Melton with three rebounds and five steals. Griffiths had three rebounds and two steals, Daniels had one rebound and four steals, Aylward had two rebounds, Lundvall and Storm each had one rebound, and Messersmith had one steal.Wallace vs. Wau/Pal. On Thursday, Feb. 14, the Cats traveled back to Cambridge to face the Broncos of Wauneta-Palisade. The Lady Cats were ready to play, hoping to upset the Broncos at least one time this season. Unfortunately for the Lady Cats, the Broncos had other plans. In the first quarter both teams played tough defense, and both teams struggled to get the ball to fall. As the buzzer sounded at the end of the first quarter, the Lady Cats trailed by just four, 10 to 6. The Lady Cats started to see some light in the second quarter, as they slowly started to get a few shots to fall, and they pulled to within one. Unfortunately, in the last minutes of the quarter the Broncos returned the favor. The Cats headed to the locker rooms trailing, 10 to 18. After half, the Broncos had a renewed energy. Once again the Wildcats tried to build momentum, but the Broncos refused to give them a chance. The Broncos outscored the Wildcats by 20. The third quarter ended with the Raiders leading 23 to 51. In the fourth quarter the Cats tried hard to pull themselves back together, and they tried to put a run together. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late. Coach Messersmith gave some of the younger players some court time, and allowed the crowd to applaud the girls who have worked so hard this season. The Lady Cats season ended with a final score of 30 to 59. Offensively, sophomore Christina Daniels led the Cats with 15 points. Senior Chelsea Sowle had six points, senior Katelyn Melton had four points, senior Anna Griffiths and sophomore Mickayla Sheets each had two points, and freshman Sarah Banks had one point. Leading the team with assists were Daniels (two), sophomore Morgan Messersmith (two), Melton (one), and junior Alexandria Lundvall (one). Leading the team with offensive rebounds were Sowle (six), and Daniels (three). Defensively, Sowle led the Cats with nine rebounds, two blocks, and one steal. Junior Sara Hubbard had three rebounds and two steals, Melton had two rebounds and three steals, Griffiths had three rebounds and one steal, Daniels had one rebound and three steals, junior Jaclyn Nelson and sophomores Hayley Storm and Emma Franklin each had one rebound, and Messersmith had one steal. When asked about the game, Coach Messersmith said, "Defense kept us in the game for the first half, we were able to keep it close." He added, "Wauneta/Palisade just has too many good shooters and good athletes to keep at bay for a whole game. The biggest factor in this ball game was our inability to relax. We just weren't able to settle in and play basketball the way we have the last five or six games."The Season The ladies had a fair season, ending with a 8-13 record. When asked about the season, Coach Messersmith said, "I am very proud of the effort of the entire team throughout the whole season. They worked very hard to adjust to a new system and we showed steady improvement each week. We were definitely playing our best basketball at the end of the season."

Davidson edges WVU 63-60
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Between games in the Old Spice Classic, teams are given 20 minutes to warm up. It took West Virginia coach Bob Huggins until 15:21 remained in the first half of the second game -- Marist-Vanderbilt -- to emerge from his team's locker room. He looked drained. He looked upset. He looked frustrated. The reason: The Mountaineers had just lost 63-60 to the Southern Conference's Davidson and fallen to 1-2 overall. Their only victory so far is over the Red Foxes of Marist. Davidson (3-2) received double-figure scoring from four players - led by Chris Czerapowicz's 15 points and a late-game 3-point dagger - to nudge WVU. The Mountaineers will play Oklahoma at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the HP Field House at Walt Disney World for third place. The game will be aired on ESPNU. Huggins shook his head after emerging. After his team uncorked a 52.9-percent shooting performance in an 87-44 victory over Marist, the Mountaineers fell to 40 percent against the Wildcats. "We go 8 for 17 from the foul line," said Huggins. "We got 60 shots, they got 41. They make six 3s, we make four. The whole thing came down to us not making any free throws." The deciding action came late in the game. Davidson led by eight with 8:53 remaining, but WVU stayed in the game. Huggins used a 1-3-1 and pressure defenses that seemed to help. Mountaineer guard Juwan Staten stole the ball and converted a lay-in to close his team's deficit to one at 58-57. But in the euphoria of the moment, WVU forgot to defend. In transition, Davidson's Nik Cochran found Czerapowicz open in the right corner. He buried a trey -- and, effectively, WVU -- with 54 seconds left to make the score 61-57. "Nik found me really open there," Czerapowicz said. "[West Virginia] had just scored and they were really excited, but Nik got the ball quickly and pushed it and attacked and drew a couple guys. I was open and I wouldn't give that shot up because I was so open. I'm glad [Cochran] saw me." "We got caught in 'Yeah!'" said WVU's Deniz Kilicli. "We got excited. We didn't run back like we're supposed to run back." After Czerapowicz's shot, WVU's offense struggled before a pass went inside to Kilicli, who was tied up. The ball went to the Mountaineers, though, and they did capitalize. Freshman Terry Henderson hit a 3-point bucket with 13.6 seconds left. After a timeout, however, Davidson cleanly got the ball into steady guard Cochran. Staten was forced to foul with 10.7 seconds left. Cochran made both shots to account for the final numbers. WVU did get off one last shot, but Staten's attempt from the left wing rimmed out. "The play was to get a high ball screen and draw Terry's man and kick it to him for a shot," said Staten, who led his team with 15 points. "But their wings denied, so I tried to get it to Terry off a brush screen. He didn't feel he was open, so he kicked it to me and I had to get a shot up. It felt good. It looked good. It just went in and out." As mentioned, poor shooting again hurt WVU, but so too did fouls. Standout center Aaric Murray picked up his third foul with 2:50 left in the first half and didn't start the second half. That's when Davidson made up a 32-30 halftime deficit and went on to lead by eight. Kilicli committed his third foul 16 seconds into the second half. Kilicli left, but returned at the 17:37 mark. Murray returned at 15:35. But the Wildcats went right after the big men and Murray got his fourth at 13:58 on a De'Mon Brooks drive. Murray fouled out at 1:56. Kevin Noreen, WVU's third big man, didn't help. Fouls proved a major factor. WVU was whistled for 22, while Davidson was called for 21. But the Mountaineers hit 47.1 percent of their free throws to the Wildcats' 77.3. Huggins and Kilicli both spoke of the officiating crew of Joe DeRosa, Mike Eades and Zelton Steed. "Officiating is very inconsistent, and that's not an indictment on anybody today," Huggins said. "Different guys just see the game different ways. We don't adjust. And we made some really dumb plays. "We've got three bigs. We get them in foul trouble and, all of a sudden, we're trying to play [6-7] Keaton [Miles] at [power forward] or Matt Humphrey at [power forward] and they don't know what they're doing. When we get Dom [Rutledge] and [Volodymyr Gerun] we will have some options." Rutledge, Huggins said, will be available for Sunday's game after a suspension. Gerun has to sit three more games because of an NCAA eligibility ruling. Kilicli was more blunt about the officials. "The refereeing was horrible," he said. "But stuff happens like that. When I look at it, [the officials] were horrible to both sides. We shot 17 free throws; they shot 22. That's pretty close." WVU played well defensively in the first half, holding Davidson to 41.7 percent shooting, but allowed the Wildcats to hit 58.8 percent in the second half. "I thought we were going to win this game," said WVU's Jabarie Hinds. "We started with great defensive intensity. I thought we'd bring it to the second half and win." Huggins and Kilicli, though, summed up WVU's loss. "We missed at least seven 1-footers that I can remember," said the Mountaineer coach. "You can't do that and beat good teams. You can't miss nine free throws." "Basketball isn't all about scoring, but it's part of it," Kilicli said. "You've got to score. We couldn't score."

Clear your mind and take a deep breath. The difference between the Highlight side and the shadow side would meter at 6.5 stops. In order to create this ratio the power of your lights woul be increased 3 stops. Keep in mind that each time it is increased a stop it doubles the units of light so (2x3=6) plus the overlap of the fill .5 = 6.5. This is why Michael keeps saying not to confuse exposure with ratio.
Ratios are not merely something we observe. We can create them. that is the whole point behind the math. To be able to predict and manipulate results.
There are a many reasons your tests may be yeilding different results. Distance of lights to subject, setting of power going to each light, bounce off walls acting like reflectors, use of any automated self adjusting devices on the lights. All of these things could be throwing your results off. Thats why they invented math. Trust the rules not your eyes. Keep running tests and making adjustments until you get the target.
Your rule of thumb was a stroke of genius and it works beautifully. Using your rule and Kirk's diagram I worked my way backward through the math. To get to know the rule forward and backwards.
As you can see we are all learning and re-learning on this thread, don't give up!

Lets re-open this can-o-worms!
Hello all!
I can't wait to see if someone cleared this up in the down time! I have been re-working the numbers and still can't figure out where we're going wrong, or if we are! Let's work this one out! And if we do lets have another question from the sample test. This is a GREAAAT thread!

I was always taught that 3:1 was a 1.5 stop difference. For example, Art Ketchum (www.artketchum.com), the guy who taught me lighting ratios, taught me the "perfect" setup is key @ f8 fill @f4.5, Kicker/rim light/s @f5.6 and hair either f11 or f16 adjustable by color of models hair.
Jay, the 1.5 stops is an exposure difference, not a difference between the main and the fill. The main and the fill are a 1 stop difference.MichaelMichael Gan,M.Photog.Cr. CPP,

If your business depends on you, you don't own a business-you have a job. And it's the worst job in the world because you're working for a lunatic... You can't close it when you want to, because if it's closed you don't get paid. You can't leave it when you want to, because if you leave there's nobody there to do the work. You can't sell it when you want to, because who wants to buy a job?http://www.meritageonmain.blogspot.com
—Michael Gerber
When you are working with this ratio issue you need to know that there are 2 different ratios discussed.
1 - Lighting Ratio: The ratio of light quantity falling onto the subject.
2 - Light Ratio: The ratio of light quantity from the light source.
Lighting Ratio is better thought of as contrast ratio. Thinking in these terms you think of the contrast between the high-light and shadow side of your subject's face (for a portrait).
Light Ratio is thought of in terms of how much light output each light is providing. It doesn't take the subject (or what the light is falling on) into consideration.
Be very careful when you read the question to determine exactly what they are asking as the answer will be different in each case.
A lighting ratio (contrast ratio) of 1 stop will produce a 3:1 ratio.
Fill light at f8 has a light output of 1 unit. Main light at f11 has a light output (relative to fill) of 2 units (1 stop more light). The fill provides 1 unit of light on the shadow side of the face and 1 unit of light on the highlight side of the face. The main provides 2 units of light on the highlight side and 0 units on the shadow side. 2+1=3, 1+0=1. 3:1
A light ratio of 1 stop will produce a 2:1 ratio.
The fill at f8 provides 1 unit of light. The main at f11 provides 2 units of light (relative to the fill). What the light is falling onto is irrevelent. Therefore a 2:1 ratio.

Story by Kanara Ty
The Cambodian American experience has often been defined by one event — the Cambodian genocide that took place from the mid- to late-'70s, led by the Khmer Rouge. However, in recent years, there has been a cultural movement amongst 1.5- and second-generation Cambodian Americans to reconcile the past and move forward — namely, through the medium of filmmaking.
Human rights lawyer-turned-filmmaker Kalyanee Mam is one of them.
"We have been so stuck on this narrative about the Khmer Rouge," says Mam. "It's because it's so exotic to people. It's easy to sell violence, it's easy to sell bloodshed. I think we need to take our- selves away from our past and look for- ward to the future. Our future will not be anything unless we do something about our present."
Mam is taking up that task in her feature directorial debut, A River Changes Course, due for theatrical release in October. The award-winning documentary (it won the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary at this year's Sundance Film Festival) follows three individuals — Sari Math, Khieu Mok, and Sav Samourn — whose lives are impacted by some modern-day problems in Cambodia, including deforestation and overfishing due to large land and fishing concessions. While the film takes on a heavy topic, the images of Cambodia presented in the film portray a beautiful country that leave you with a heartfelt and lasting impression. The film may be activist, but the last thing on Mam's mind is violence.
"I don't believe in violent ways of changing things," says Mam. "I believe in slow movements in helping raise people's consciousness. After [audiences] watched the film, it was on their minds for weeks. The images stayed with them. The images that dig into the subconscious — those are the images that last and continue to inspire people."
Human rights is something Mam became passionate about after her first trip to Cambodia during the summer of 1998, where she worked as a research intern at the Documentation Center of Cambodia. "The first time I went back, I completely fell in love with the country. It was like a summer romance. It was such a beautiful experience. I grew to understand the country and people more," says the 36-year-old. "Now it's no longer a romance. Or a young love. It's a more mature love. I understand its weaknesses. I understand the corruption. I understand the complexities. I accept Cambodia for everything that it is."
Initially, Mam chose law school as the vehicle to fight for human rights, but she found it frustrating. "I thought the law would aid me with the mechanisms and tools to assist people who had undergone human rights violations," she says. "But I felt the law was not broad enough. It was so defined and so specific. There were all these boundaries, rules and regulations. People's lives are not so restricted. People's lives are much more complicated."
After graduating from UCLA School of Law, Mam worked as a legal consultant for the Mozambique Ministry of Labor, as well as the Iraq Ministry of Justice. But she soon realized that she wanted to do more than just provide legal counsel for human rights victims.
"After I left Iraq, I felt like I left a part of me behind," she says. "I was still concerned with my friends who were still there. Everyone was trying to escape the country. I was helping them legally, such as seeking asylum. I knew that wasn't enough." So Mam decided to make a documentary. She had been interview- ing her friend and her colleague on the down low while she was in Iraq so she had all these transcripts. She eventually turned those interviews into an award-winning documentary short, Between Earth and Sky, which focused on three Iraqi artists.
That led to work on the Academy Award-winning documentary Inside Job, which examined the global financial crisis of 2008, where Mam worked as cinematographer, associate producer, and researcher. And now with A River Changes Course, Mam is embarking on a campaign to screen the film in every single village in Cambodia, with the help from the Documentation Center of Cambodia.
"If every single person in Cambodia sees this film and sees what's happening to [the subjects], then [they'll realize] it's happening to every person in Cambodia. That knowledge [would be] overwhelming," says Mam. "It's the first step towards raising consciousness of Cambodians living in Cambodia, and also it empowers them to do something about their situation. If everyone feels empowered to do something, you can imagine the ripple effect from that."

You can achieve beautiful skin by sticking to a series of steps including the basics. Cleansing is the first step in any skin care regimen but toning should also be included in the process. Murad Toners/Clarifiers were developed to complement all of the cleansers from the Murad brand. These products remove any impurities that may be left behind after cleansing. In addition to purifying the skin's surface and pores, Murad Toners/Clarifiers restore balance to the skin and leave it in an ideal state to accept moisturizers and the active ingredients found in treatment products.
Using one of the Murad Toners/Clarifiers following cleansing will help all of your other products perform better, allowing them to absorb into the tissues of the skin where they can be readily accepted and utilized. In addition to the toning properties, all of the Murad Toners/Clarifiers offer additional benefits that help to improve the overall appearance and health of the skin. If you are looking to clarify your clogged pores and blemish prone skin or ease the symptoms of dryness and aging, be sure to use a toner that will do the job while also addressing your specific concerns.
Because there are varying skin types, Murad Toners/Clarifiers come in a variety of formulations to suit different needs.
Blemish prone skin should take extra care in thoroughly cleansing and toning the skin without causing dryness and irritation that could make a difficult situation even worse. Murad Clarifying Toner is part of Murad's Acne system for clear, smooth skin. The toner should follow cleansing with the Murad Clarifying Cleanser. The cooling liquid soothes and calms the skin while drawing out impurities and excess oils that can clog the pores and cause blemishes. Natural extracts from algae actually help to curb excess production of oils while witch hazel provides gentle astringent benefits. Added vitamins protect the skin and guard against damage.
Murad Resurgence Hydrating Toner is ideal for those in need of extra moisture. Many people think of toners as being drying agents which strip the skin with harsh ingredients. Murad Resurgence Hydrating Toner rebalances the skin and removes impurities while helping the skin retain vital moisture. The softening formula tightens the pores without causing any adverse effects. Be sure to follow with a moisturizer to prevent dryness all day long.
Dry and dehydrated skin types might also opt for Murad Essential-C Toner which conditions the dermis as it tightens the pores and leaves the skin's surface in a balanced state. Amino acids nourish the skin and leave it feeling soft and healthy. This toner helps the skin retain vital moisture in order to prevent dryness. This is the perfect choice for skin that is stressed as the result of environmental exposure.

CANTONMENT, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a man has died after a dog jumped into a vehicle, pushed the accelerator and struck him as he opened a gate outside a Florida Panhandle home.
The Florida Highway Patrol says 56-year-old Iris Fortner and 68-year-old James Campbell were returning to their home in Cantonment on Monday when Campbell got out of the passenger side of the vehicle to open the metal gates.
Fortner opened the driver's door to see where Campbell was standing. That's when Fortner's large boxer bull dog jumped into the car and pressed the accelerator.
FHP says Fortner tried to stop before the vehicle backed into Campbell. He was trapped under the van and pronounced dead by Escambia County paramedics.
Fortner has not been charged.

Chestnut Hill, MA (Sports Network) - With a possible return to the number one
ranking on the line, the No. 4 Duke Blue Devils head to Conte Forum for an
Atlantic Coast Conference bout against the Boston College Eagles.
Florida and both Big Ten powers Michigan and Indiana sustained losses this
week, making Duke one of the prime candidates to become the top-ranked squad
in the nation once again.
Duke conveniently has a matchup against a team is has dominated for this
crucial game. The Blue Devils own a 14-2 all-time series lead over Boston
College. This is the first meeting of the season as Boston College will visit
Cameron Indoor Stadium on Feb. 24.
Since being blasted by Miami in a 90-63 loss, Duke has reeled off four
consecutive victories with the most recent coming at home after it finished
off a 98-85 win over NC State. The victory improved Mike Krzyzewski's squad to
20-2 overall, but it still enters Sunday trailing Miami for first place in the
ACC by 2.5 games. Duke's inside-outside combo of Mason Plumlee and Seth Curry
has fueled its stellar season. Plumlee is posting 18.2 points and 10.7 boards
per game in his first season as the featured player in Coach K's system, while
Curry is netting 16.7 ppg with 42.3 percent efficiency from 3-point range.
Both players were very effective against NC State. Plumlee totaled a game-high
30 points to go along with nine rebounds, while Curry pumped in 26 points.
Quinn Cook added 21 points and four assists to help the Blue Devils avenge the
84-76 loss they suffered to the Wolfpack in Raleigh on Jan. 12. Duke shot an
overwhelming 53.8 percent from the floor, including 10-of-24 from beyond the
arc, while adding 32 additional points at the charity stripe in the contest.
The stellar offensive outing is customary for the Blue Devils, who are leading
the ACC with 79.0 ppg, outscoring the opposition by an average of 14.6 ppg.
Steve Donahue's Eagles are just a half-game ahead of the last place Virginia
Tech Hokies entering Sunday's action after sustaining losses in seven of nine
games since conference play began. Boston College was downed by 22 points on
the road on Tuesday when they visited the undefeated Miami Hurricanes in Coral
Gables. Sophomore forward Ryan Anderson, who paces the unit with 16.0 points
and 8.8 boards per tilt, was able to register a double-double of 14 points and
11 rebounds in the setback.
Olivier Hanlan went 8-of-14 from the floor for a team-high 16 points as the
team shot a collective 37 percent overall against the Hurricanes. Defensively,
Boston College allowed Miami to shoot 47.4 percent from the field including
11- of-22 from beyond the arc. The Eagles had previously lost to the ACC
leaders by just a single point at home. Hanlan is the second leading scorer
for the team with 13.8 ppg and freshman guard Joe Rahon runs the offense to
deal out 3.6 assists per contest.

Wanted to let all know a basic solution for importing Distribution Lists that worked very well for me in my setup. (With many kudos to chh and uxbod for their postings on this issue that greatly assisted :->) This may seem very base level info for some but in case this may help others.........
First created new DLs in Zimbra Admin Console
Next used Excel to insert and create fields in existing e-mail listing I had imported in form of:
Copied 'mylist.txt' to my Zimbra home directory and made sure rights for the file were set so Zimbra user had full rights to it. (Don't laugh, but forgot to do this the first time and then wondered why it did not work......)
Run at command line as Zimbra user:
Worked super! I now have all of my DL lists in, they are are listed in the GAL for users and ready to go!. :->zimbra@zimbra:/home/zimbra> zmprov adlm < mylist.txt
Now a question......
In order to send out mail using the new Distribution Lists I needed to keep checked 'Can Receive Mail' in teh DL setup in the Admin Console. Does this mean that anybody out there on the internet can use these lists? That would be bad. I want these Distribution Lists only available to be used by internal Zimbra users. Any way to restrict that?

|Peekin' into the Past
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Five Years Ago
Regent Park Nursing Home and Assisted Living has just welcomed Patsy Schutz to its staff as the new administrator.
Better weather conditions and higher corn prices have led to the second-largest crop in U.S. history, according to the National Corn Growers Association. Area cooperative representatives said they plan to finish up with harvest in the next week or two.
Bone-dry weather plagued dryland farmers with this year's summer drought, and the recent unseasonably wet weather the area has been receiving continues to delay this year's corn harvest.
Norm Duell has been appointed as Sedgwick and Phillips counties' representative for American National Insurance Company.
Laura Roll was recently hired as a full-time staff member for Baby's First Steps to serve the Phillips County area.
Jerry Young recently moved to this area to serve as pastor of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Holyoke, Christ the King Catholic Church in Haxtun and St. Peter's, located south of Fleming.
Milan Mares and Thomas Gruninger, both of Frankfurt, West Germany, passed through Holyoke Oct. 26 on their bicycle tour across the United States.
The Phillips County Chapter of the American Diabetic Association, named the Co-Neb Chapter, was chartered in Holyoke on Oct. 26.
Holyoke residents awakened yesterday morning to find the ground covered with about 10 inches of snow. The snow started falling Tuesday night and was still falling at the time the Enterprise was printed.
Checks totaling $520,353 were mailed Wednesday to sugar beet growers of the Sterling factory district of the Great Western Sugar Company for the final payment for the 1971 crop.
The political awareness class at HHS is sponsoring free baby-sitting and taxi service on election day for anyone who needs the service.
Holyoke Discount Day, a new trade promotion activity sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, will be initiated Saturday, Nov. 3. Thirty-six local businesses are participating in this week's event.
The adult education program at Holyoke High School now includes a "do-it-yourself" reading program designed to increase reading speed and comprehension.

Track 2 off the Warn Them albumAfter over 15 years of performing, educating and organizing, and 10 years since the release of their first independent album, "Project Blues," The Welfare Poets are back now with their third and latest album, "Warn Them." For years known for their socio-politically conscious music, mixing various genres from the Caribbean and Latin Jazz with Hip Hop, "Warn Them" is their first Hip Hop release in its purest form. Rayzer Sharp (R. Ramirez) continues to hold down the group since day one and has expanded the collective since the youngest member, emcee/producer and Harlem Puerto Rican, The Legendary MIC (M. Pacheco) joined the cadre. The band is still going as strong as ever these days, but this new album is a throwback in Hip Hop to a time where there was just an emcee and a producer, but here The Legendary does both.With songs like "Free Your Mind," "Let It Be Known" and "Across 110th St.," The Welfare Poets continue in their tradition of exposing the contradictions of society and using the music as a tool of resistance. The titled track and first major video release from the album, "Warn Them," the single, is a 6 minute-plus tirade by Rayzer with his non-apologetic, slicing lyrics warning everyone from the fake emcees, the psuedo-revolutionary wannabees to the individual capitalists, multi-national corporations and right-wing governments that make it possible for a worldwide system of exploitation to exist. "Feel Something" and "So Alive" are classic Hip Hop tracks of inspirations and hope, and "Feeling" is an amazing story tailed in the form of a dream and encountering the spirits of some of our greatest revolutionary warriors. For the Hip Hop heads who just want to vibe out to a hard beat and hard rhymes, they gave us some of that too with "FMNB," "Last Of The Po'Ricans" and "Crocbax." But there is so much more. There's also the mixture of old school and new school, with Rayzer Sharp doing what he has done for so long, and The Legendary MIC, in his early 20's, being a student from an after-school Hip Hop workshop The Welfare Poets were running in El Barrio (East Harlem) over 6 years ago.Many have said the days of classic Hip Hop albums are over, gone forever, but The Welfare Poets with "Warn Them" have rhymed to differ. With timeless songs, intense lyrics and amazing beat production, The Welfare Poets continue to remain urgently relevant in a time where so many artist sells the soul of their music to the highest bidder.

If you did tune in Thursday night, you saw Sweeney and his wife, Shara, talk about their experiences in Rome and Vatican City last fall.
Along with catching some highlights of them on ESPN, Royals fans can also tune into EWTN Thursday night to see some of clips of their favorite Royals players. For those who don't know, EWTN – that's Eternal Word Television Network – is the global Catholic Channel. Tonight they are airing a feature on Catholics in Major League Baseball.

Valley Forge FAQs
Why Valley Forge?
Q.Why did George Washington pick such a cold area for his winter encampment?
Jared S., Ledyard Middle School, Ledyard, CT
A.During the 18th century, military tactics primarily included a respite from fighting during the winter months mainly because of the severity of the weather. The Army was not sure of where they were heading when they moved into winter quarters. Valley Forge was chosen for many reasons. Here are a few:
- The British were occupying Philadelphia for the winter. The American Army needed to keep an eye on them and prevent them from foraging in the countryside for food they needed.
- The Congress, after fleeing Philadelphia, were at York PA, west of Valley Forge. The troops being at Valley Forge between the British and York were a protection for Congress
- The Valley Forge area (terrain) was defensible. The grounds were suitable to guard against attack. While the conditions were harsh, Washington tried to provide for the comfort of his men. The lack of supplies, clothing and food meant the winter here was not a pleasant one!
You can read more about it in some of the following books on Valley Forge:
- Birthplace of an Army by John B.B. Trussell, Jr.
- Campaign to Valley Forge by John F. Reed
- Valley Forge: Pinnacle of Courage by John Jackson
- Great and Capital Changes by Barbara Pollarine.
- Encyclopedia of the American Revolution by Mark M. Boatner

Now that I think about it, with the new GUI, it will be total BS if they don't offer PIP for the current HR2X's. They have 2 tuners. Use them. The ULTIMATE TV FROM MICROSOFT IN 2001 had this as a feature.
PIP is mostly a function of the display and video compositing/overlay chipset. The HR34 has a more advanced video subsystem than does the HR2x line.

David Lama Back to Patagonia
Following his groundbreaking first free ascent of the Compressor Route (5.13b) on Cerro Torre last year, David Lama is on his way back to the Patagonian mountains with a wild new first ascent in the Alps as preparation.
Before Lama departed, however, he and Peter Ortner were able to establish a new testpiece in the Alps. Spindrift (VIII- M6 WI VI A1, 600 meters), takes the icy North face of Laserz, in the Lienzer Dolomites of Austria.
"I've always wanted to finish this route since we had to bail last year," wrote Lama. "Peter and I tried the line last winter, but didn't bring enough gear and didn't want to place any bolts, so we went back this December with more cams and finished it."
Lama described the crux fourth pitch as "an overhanging crack with some bad rock and poor protection for the first 15m, after that you have to traverse a little to the left onto steep, ice covered slabs that lead you to the belay."
Spindrift is a hard addition to the Alps, but according to Lama, "all climbs like this one can be seen as preparation for Patagonia."
Lama is currently en route to Patagonia where he will team up with the Swiss speed demon Dani Arnold. Arnold, who currently holds the record for the fastest ascent of the Eiger, is a mountain guide from canton Uri in central Switzerland.
"We haven't climbed together a lot actually, just a couple of routes in Chamonix," wrote Lama. "But Dani is strong, fast, and determined."

Last evening I had yet another conversation with someone who just can't grasp the concept of a bicycle as serious transportation or fitness equipment for adults. The man I was talking with is about my age and like me has had some recent heart problems. He struck up a conversation because his wife and doctor are pushing him to get into better shape and he knew that I have lost a lot of weight over the past several years and that I ride bicycle. After talking for a while we determined that he wanted something suited for mixed paved and unpaved rural roads and maybe to take to the lake on weekends. He is over six feet tall and quite overweight so he wanted something "sturdy" and was asking for suggestions for a good bike. I suggested a couple of models that sounded like what he was looking for, including the Surly Ogre, which I had seen at an LBS. He liked the sound of the ogre and asked how much they cost. Not knowing for sure, I estimated between $1,000 and $1,500.
"WHAT? A grand for a bicycle?" he said half shocked, half scoffing. "I'm not looking for some expensive racing bike. I just want to ride around and lose a few pounds."
We talked about entry level hybrids or CX bikes but were still in the $500 - $900 range which he still thought was "ridiculous". He wanted something for a "couple hundred bucks" and I told him he should probably consider a used bike. I got an eye roll when I told him that a good brand name bike, used, could still cost a couple hundred.
Now before anybody brings up that not everyone can spend a lot of money on a bike, you should know that this guy has a snowmobile and a four-wheeler, each worth $5,000+, as well as a camper and a fishing boat with trailer also worth a fair bit of change. He probably has several thousand invested in hunting and fishing gear, all of which he considers reasonable. He's not going to be on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, but he is not without resources.
I pointed out that my stay in the hospital last year cost me about $2,000 a day so if staying fit kept me out of the hospital just one day in ten years, a bike would easily pay for itself. "Yeah, I suppose," he said. From his tone I assume he isn't going to be riding any time soon.
Why is it that people can't grasp the value of a good bicycle when they will spend hundreds or thousands on any number of other items without batting an eye?
