State troopers say a high speed chase Sunday evening in Greenville began when they saw the driver texting on his cell phone.
Troopers have charged David Sternberg of Ayden with felony flee to elude arrest, reckless driving to endanger, speeding 100 in a 45 mile per hour zone, simple possession of bath salts, driving while license revoked and texting while driving a motor vehicle.
Trooper Haywood Singleton says he was in an unmarked patrol car when he noticed the driver of a Honda texting at the intersection of Arlington Boulevard and Evans Street. When the light turned green, the trooper says the man continued to text and Singleton turned his blue lights on.
Singleton says at first the man pulled into the Target parking lot like he was going to stop. But he continued driving around the shopping center. The vehicle then got on Greenville Boulevard and the chase continued down Highway 11 and troopers say speeds topped 100 miles per hour.
The vehicle crashed on Laurie Ellis Road in Winterville and troopers arrested Sternberg.
He's being held on a $50,000 bond.
Previous Story
We are gathering more details about a car chase through one city in the east.
The Highway Patrol dispatchers tell WITN the chase started around 6:00PM Sunday evening at the University Commons Shopping Center behind Target in Greenville.
Dispatchers say troopers were called to locate a silver Honda that may have been involved in an accident on Laurie Ellis Road in Winterville.
According to dispatchers, troopers chased the vehicle from Hooker Road To Memorial Drive, where the chased ended less than ten minutes later.
We are following up to find out if there were any arrests along with charges.

First problem:
With zimbra desktop I use a local calendar that is not synchronised with the webcalendar. I use it for private events and it is only visible on my PC. But when I create new events, even if I chose to include them in my local calendar, they are created in the professional web calendar.
Second problem:
In my webcalendar, I have set events in a private status as a default option. But some of my events are automatically set as public (no lock icon). If I try to modify it, it is already signaled as private (although it's not).
Thank you for any helping reply !

Video: Romney: President can't help poor and middle-class
MIAMI -- Mitt Romney is declaring that his presidential campaign supports "the 100 percent in America." That's in response to criticism sparked by a video in which he says that as a candidate he doesn't worry about the 47 percent of Americans who pay no income taxes.
RELATED | Carter's grandson helped bring Romney video to light
Romney said during a Miami forum hosted by the Spanish language TV network Univision that his campaign will focus on those voters he thinks he can win over.
Romney backed away from his support earlier in the year for policies that would promote what he called "self-deportation" of illegal immigrants.
He told the Univision audience that illegal immigrants would not be rounded up and deported but that a long-term solution is needed. He didn't offer any details about what that solution might be.
Romney said it's a compliment to be called the grandfather of Obamacare, the health care law championed by President Barack Obama and scorned by Republicans - including Romney himself.
Obama has said the health care law Romney backed while governor of Massachusetts is the basis of the federal Affordable Care Act, enacted in 2010.
The Republican presidential nominee said that now and then Obama calls him the grandfather of Obamacare.
Romney said, "I don't think he meant that as a compliment, but I'll take it." He went on to defend the Massachusetts law but says it is wrong for the federal government to take that approach.
Grandfather or not, Romney has pledged to repeal Obamacare if elected president.

Welcome to the College of Business
International. Collaborative. Experiential.
At the Western New England University College of Business, we provide our students with an education that is international, collaborative, and experiential. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, this perspective is integrated into our business programs to prepare our students to become multidimensional business leaders.
AACSB International: The World Standard in Business Accreditation
Our international perspective begins with our accreditation. Western New England University is the only private institution in western Massachusetts accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business—AACSB International. In fact, fewer than 5% of business programs worldwide have met this benchmark of quality.
Expanding Your Worldview
In today's global economy, students must view business activities with an international focus. Our business curricula presents opportunities to study foreign economies, cultures, and business models. Business students are also encouraged to study abroad through our short-term and semester long travel programs such as the Sophomore Experience Abroad offered at London's Richmond University or trips to destinations such as the Beijing Olympics or FIFA World Cup provided through the Center for International Sport Business. Our International Business Breakfast series invites international business experts to lecture on campus each semester.
A Focus on Team-building and Collaboration
Today's economy and the New Media demand collaboration within industries and across them. Exciting new alliances are the result. That's why team-building and leadership development are an essential part of our business programs that span across every major. Within our five schools, the University offers cross-disciplinary programs such as our JD/MBA or MSA programs and courses such as our Product Innovations course which pairs business and engineering student teams to develop and market new products.
Internships, Board Membership, and Consultation Experience
Every business student has opportunities to gain experience in business environments through our powerful internship network. Others choose year-long field experiences as working members of boards of directors for area nonprofits. Throughout their studies, students have opportunities to collaborate on projects for regional businesses, often with business alumni.
A Proving Ground for Burgeoning Entrepreneurs
The Western New England University College of Business is one of the best-kept secrets in higher education for students who want to start their own businesses. We offer a broad range of opportunities for students to learn how to turn their "Big Idea" into a working business. From unique courses and collaborations with our Schools of Engineering and Law to alliances with the business community, we provide the proving ground to nurture your entrepreneurial spirit and help you realize your dream of one day owning your own business.
Alumni Succeed Through Our Unique Approach to Business Education
Our College of Business has graduated CEOs, CFOs, small business owners, and presidents of financial institutions and corporations. These men and women have capitalized on our unique approach to business. Today, many of our graduates return to speak to current students about career paths. Others return to further their education through our widely respected graduate programs.
Dean's Message
"The College of Business, like the business world itself, is constantly evolving to provide our students with programs and initiatives that prepare them to be leaders in the 21st century global workforce. Whether you are a prospective student, a current student, or an alumnus, the College of Business is your resource for lifelong business education." [read more]

Pharma companies, more and more, are faced with the reality that new molecular entities (NMEs) aren't always going to be uncovered in their own labs. Externally-sourced compounds have accounted for the majority of product launches for NMEs since 2003—a trend that shows no sign of slowing down. Consequently, pressure is mounting on pharma's business development (BD) departments, which are responsible for leading licensing and acquisition (L&A) activity between partnering companies, especially as competition continues to heat up over a limited set of available L&A opportunities.
In this environment, it is remarkable that the BD discipline has remained something of a cottage industry. Only recently have companies begun making the kind of focused investments in BD capabilities necessary to achieve and sustain leadership in this critical area. To some extent, this state of affairs reflects the inherent challenges of BD, which is highly complex and uncertain, and subject to many factors outside a company's control. However, it also reflects the limited attention most pharma companies have paid to thinking systematically about the discipline—and about what it takes to be successful.
Senior executives who are serious about engineering dramatic improvements in the way their companies do BD should consider seven fundamental principles that are vital for success.1. Generate Sufficient Opportunity Flow
Just as deal flow is an important metric for venture capitalists, opportunity flow should be a concern of BD professionals. Because L&A success rates are low, there must be enough quality opportunities entering the pipeline to ensure successful deals at the back end. Generating a robust flow is not a simple task, given the limited number of promising drugs available—especially for companies that are looking primarily for compounds in the late stages of development. But here are some approaches that have proven effective:
2. Manage the Pipeline
Success in loading the pipeline has to be matched with success in moving the best prospects to completion. Without unlimited resources, effective throughput can occur only if the less-promising opportunities are continually screened out. As with the internal development pipeline, the mantra for BD needs to be "fail early."
In practice, many companies find it difficult to apply the fail-early dictum. Because the opportunities are limited and companies face so much pressure to complete deals, there is a natural fear of rejecting compounds prematurely. The BD team at one company translated this fear into a mantra of its own: "no regrettable losses." The team did not want any competitor to successfully acquire a compound that it would have wanted on the same terms. The problem with zero tolerance for error in the screening process is that it creates artificial pressure to keep evaluating deals beyond the point of diminishing returns. To get the best deals done, it is essential to focus resources—this means deciding what not to spend time on.
3. Maximize the "Signal-to-Noise" Ratio
A common analytical tool for evaluating opportunities is the "tornado" diagram—named because its shape is reminiscent of a tornado. The tornado diagram visually ranks the key variables that are expected to affect the ultimate value to the acquiring company. It is typically the output of extensive analysis using sophisticated financial models. But the core insight it provides—that a small number of variables have a disproportionate effect on risk—is one that BD professionals must consider from their very first appraisal of a new opportunity.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Creating a lighter, healthier you is a multi-step process. One of the most important steps, and the main focus of this section, is exercise. Here we explore everything from the benefits of exercise to how much and how often it is necessary to promote weight loss.
If you are like most people, you start out on an exercise habit extremely motivated and ready to get going. About two weeks into it, however, you start to see that your motivation is lagging and you wonder where you went wrong.
Not sticking with a workout program is one of the biggest problems people have, so finding helpful solutions will dramatically boost your personal weight-loss results. Once you get yourself started on the right foot, and results start happening, it won't be long before your momentum keeps fitness a regular part of your lifestyle.
Here are some of the top tips to make an exercise habit stick, so you can stay fit forever.
Listen to Your Favorite Music
The first way to make an exercise habit so you lose weight for good, is to listen to your favorite music. Music can be an extremely powerful motivator. By downloading your favorite songs on your MP3 player, you will not only get yourself in the gym, but also push yourself harder to meet your personal exercise goals.
Try to choose upbeat music that makes you want to dance and move around. This variety of music is most likely to keep you motivated, and it will help you keep a steady pace when you exercise.
Set Non-Food Rewards
Next, make sure you take the time to set non-food rewards. This is important because it gives you a goal to work toward while you are exercising. This could be something like a manicure at your favorite nail salon, a full-hour massage, a new workout wardrobe, or a movie night out with a loved one.
Set these rewards so they happen every two to three weeks of sticking with your regular workouts. This is enough time so you should be able to work toward them and make some progress along the way.
Make It Social
The next way to make yourself an exercise habit is to include a social aspect with it. When we do things with others, we are far more likely to become committed because we know other people are relying on us to participate. In addition to that, we tend to enjoy the activity more.
Whether you choose to join a group fitness class, or you just prefer to work out with a close friend, when you involve other people, you are going to find the process much more enjoyable.
Vary Your Choice of Activities
It's always important to vary your choice of activities. If you are stuck doing the exact same workout day after day, week after week, it is not surprising that you would lose your motivation very quickly. Instead, try and incorporate at least three different types of workout activities into your daily routine. This could be one kickboxing class, one aerobics class, one boot camp, and one circuit-style weight lifting workout.
All of these activities will work different aspects of your fitness level, and will help you get over any type of boredom you associate with your exercise routine.
Participate in an Event
Another good way to increase your motivation to exercise is to set a goal to participate in a physical event. There are plenty of walks, runs, and obstacle races that you can enter that will give your cardio workouts new meaning. Most people really enjoy their experience in these events, and many people find themselves participating in more and more throughout their lifetime. Choose events that fit your level of physical fitness, and use the future event as motivation to stick with your exercise routine.
If running isn't your thing, look into a mini-triathlon. Triathlons combine running, biking, and swimming so there is greater variety in your workout.
By following these guidelines, and by slowly making the time to exercise a little each day, you will be on your way to living a happier, and more "fit" life.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA)-- Relatives of the victims of some of the nation's worst gun massacres traveled from across the country to demand Congress and the President enact common sense gun laws.
They offered a litany of pain almost too horrible to bea. "My little brother Derrick... was riddled with bullets." "I'm here today wearing my son's shoes. They are the shoes he was wearing on April 20, 1999 when he was gunned down at Columbine High School."
Every day in America, about 32 families become new victims of gun violence.
Andrei Nikitchyuk's eight-year-old son Bear was walking toward the principal's office in Newtown. "He says he saw bullets passing by."
A teacher rescued him. "She pulled them in her own classroom and barricaded the door."
Now Nikitchyuk says Washington has to rescue America with sensible gun laws. "It's not a partisan issue. It's an issue of the safety of our children."
Some gun rights advocates say the answer is more guns, not fewer. That perhaps an armed principal might have saved lives at Sandy Hook Elementary. "So when she heard gunfire, she whips it out and takes him out before he hurts those precious children," said Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Sunday.
"That is insane," responded Dan Gross of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "That's saying the only answer we have to violence is more violence."
Instead the families suggest a solution might include a renewed ban on assault rifles and closing loopholes that allow 40 percent of gun sales to go through with no background check.
"I think about my sister every time there's a shooting," says Omar Samaha of Chantilly, who lost his sister Reema at Virginia Tech. "74 percent of NRA members support universal background checks, so what are we waiting for?"
The families are convinced the slaughter of 20 innocents just before Christmas will tip the country to change.

As women, we'd like to think we can bridge every gender gap there is. There have been more women striving for executive positions and more women in careers which were, back in the day, deemed too physically rigorous for the female body. More and more, women are demanding leading positions to prove that we are just as capable as anyone else.
Which is why its alarming to discover that on average, female doctors make about $50,000 less than male doctors. Research from the Journal of the American Medical Association show that instead of moving forward, the gender pay gap in health-care fields have grown within the past decade.
The Washington Post notes, "In the late 1980s, male physicians earned $33,840, or 20 percent, more in annual salary than their female counterparts. By the late 2000s, that grew to a 25.3 percent gap, a difference of $56,019 per year. The same trends showed up among dentists and physician assistants, but not pharmacists or health insurance executives."
Although nearly 50% of US medical students are female, the difference in salary is far from equal. The study noted that one of the larger factors of salary was dependent on what type of doctor one became. For instance, specialists, such as surgeons, typically earn significantly more than primary care providers. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, more than half of the country's pediatricians are women, but fewer than 10%of orthopedic surgeons are women. And even without taking specialities into account, women still earn significantly less than their male peers.
So what is it? Do women unknowingly choose lower-paying specialties? Are women groomed into choosing particular careers over others? (Similar to the lack of women engineers due to the fact that we never grew up with engineering as a career option.) Women certainly work just as hard as men and are just as deserving.

Governor names judge to fill vacancy
Published: Monday, November 18, 2013 at 2:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 18, 2013 at 2:49 p.m.
On Friday Gov. Rick Scott announced that Donald E. Scaglione will fill the judicial vacancy left by Circuit Judge Sandra Edwards-Stephens, who retired from the bench Oct. 31.
"Judge Scaglione's service on the Hernando County Court bench has demonstrated his commitment to his community and the law," Scott stated in a news release. "I am confident that his decades of service and experience will make him a strong addition to the Circuit Court bench."
While Scaglione, 54, replaces Edwards-Stephens, he will still serve in Hernando County.
Circuit Judge Anthony Tatti, of Ocala, will transfer to the Marion County Judicial Center, where he will preside over a variety of cases.
"I'm looking forward to continuing to serve the people of the 5th Circuit as one of their circuit judges," Scaglione said via telephone Monday.
He said he has thoroughly enjoyed his service on the bench and is happy the new assignment will keep him in the same county.
Scaglione, a resident of Brooksville, has served as a Hernando County judge since 2005. Prior to becoming a judge, he served as an assistant state attorney in the 5th Judicial Circuit and as assistant public defender and assistant state attorney in the 19th Judicial Circuit.
He received a bachelor's degree from the University of South Florida and his law degree from the South Texas College of Law.

the lack of standardization of Linux distributions is a major issue IMHO
The numbers I gave are from some website
Linux is still just 5 percent of the market
The "more eyes means better security" (#3 above) is and was always a myth
Point 2 - stop confusing Android devices with general purpose Linux desktop or server environments. They took a Linux kernel (stripped down and heavily customized) and built their own application stack and custom UI on top of it.
I'm not sure that you should be counting these in the same way you count general purpose Linux PCs. Any number of electronic devices are built on a Linux kernel (for the exact reason that it is mature and royalty free) - do we count these too

Explore Sofia's Byzantine churches and fashionable boutiques, and Plovdiv's picturesque old quarter. Then head to Bulgaria's hills for hidden away monasteries and heritage-filled villages. Experience Bulgaria's extremes, from Black Sea beaches in Varna and Bourgas to fast-developing ski resorts like Bansko and Pamporovo. Get to grips with Balkan history, or just kick back and immerse yourself in traditional Bulgarian music.
Bulgaria's capital Sofia bears the marks of its 3000-year history, from Roman remains and Byzantine churches to Stalinist monuments. The mountainous Balkan Range stretches from west to east, almost reaching the Black Sea coast. You'll find major port cities Varna and Bourgas and popular beach resorts nearby. Visit the Danubian Plain, which boasts the noble city of Ruse with its Central European elegance.
Delve into centuries of history in Sofia's cobbled boulevards, but don't miss its swanky shopping centres, or enjoy the lively port city of Varna. In Veliko Turnovo you'll discover a living museum in its streets, churches and fortress. Scramble about the Roman Amphitheatre in Plovdiv's well-preserved old city. And in Ruse, admire the Neoclassical façades around Ploshtad Svoboda from an open-air cafe.
Near Sofia, join locals to ski on Mount Vitosha, or further afield in the Pirin Mountains at the quaint village of Bansko. Escape to hidden monasteries, like UNESCO-protected Rila with its extravagant frescoes and dramatic location in the Rila Mountains. Beach-hop along the Black Sea Coast stopping at pumping resorts, or take a more peaceful dip at hot mineral baths in Velingrad.

I could draw a Unit 61 muzzleloader elk tag next year (2012), but the muzzleloader season will be September 8-16, and that is the earliest it has been since 2007. On the other hand I have a 1 in 3 chance at a Unit 201 archery tag. What are your thoughts on these earlier dates for muzzleloader next year in Unit 61. Is the rut normally in full swing during the Sept 8-16 dates in 61? If those early dates are risky, I might just hang in there for 201 next year.

Affect Versus Effect
When to use affect and effect is one of the most common questions I get. This is an expanded show based on the original episode covering when to use affect with an a and when to use effect with an e.
Page 2 of 2
Rare Uses of Affect and Effect
So what about those rare meanings that don't follow the rules I just gave you? Well, affect can be used as a noun when you're talking about psychology--it means the mood that someone appears to have. For example, "She displayed a happy affect." Psychologists find it useful because they know that you can never really understand what someone else is feeling. You can only know how they appear to be feeling.
And, effect can be used as a verb that essentially means "to bring about," or "to accomplish." For example, you could say, "Aardvark hoped to effect change within the burrow."

Today, Lindsay Lohan made an appearance in court (yes, shocking). She was there for a probation check-up, and she actually got some positive feedback from the judge. But more importantly, she rocked a lovely outfit — a Celine sweater, Prada pants and shoes and sunglasses by Versace. The only suggestion we have is that she consider a cami next time.

Doctor Faustus
I guess that'll do for a start. Many of the above are actually in-genre, too.
No female writers whatsoever. I read alot (obviously) and a lot of classics too, and I try and get a gender balance. Having tried and failed to get interested in Hemmingway and Conrad, it is likely that I will not read quite a lot on this list. And surely Marlowe should be enjoyed on stage?
But back to my original point. No female writers. Any chance of adding some to your list?
And I bet none are black or gay either!!! BURN HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leiali, if asked to make any list of favourites, should you be honest and state your faves or try and go for gender balance? Gender balance for the sake of a PC list seems pointless.
Sorry if I read too much into your post, the Internet is priceless for 'wrong-end of stick' grabbing.
It is a thread for HIS preferences not yours.
If I am not mistaken none of those authors on the list were black-irish jews either, I don't see the black-irish jewish people complaining.
I was exhausted just reading the list. It looks like a reading list for a degree in literature (look, I said the dirty 'L' word in an sf forum).
My library has a habit of throwing out old books. I had to go and wrestle one of Andre Norton's early books out of the back room and I wouldn't give it back until they promised to tape it up and put it back on the shelves... I tried to tell them it was a classic. Perhaps I'm not quite in tune with the meaning of 'classic'.
I take your points Glelas and Juzzza and I must confess I am instinctively PC. My issues were since women are half the population, a representative voice would be nice. And when I meant gender balance, I meant 'don't you have any female writers you like off the top of your head?' Not please satisfy my sense of PC ness. Although I appreciate that this is his list, and he can write what he likes, surely interactive feedback would keep this thread on its toes? I figured one obvious problem for me. And said it.
PS - Marlowe was gay
PPS - Remember that sort of row we had about machismo Juzzza? I think this thread ties in with that for me, I personally found Hemmingway and Conrad difficult to get into because I found the writing dry and too masculine for me to have any real commitment to the reading. I won't even get started on Henry Miller. Again, part of the reason why I brought it up was to explore that....I forgot to add to that the fact that I really like Caine, which could be considered contradictory to the point I was trying to make.
Leiali - This is Matt Stover's forum. What did you expect? Christopher Isherwood, Sylvia Plath and Evelyn Waugh? I think you have the wrong author for that. Here you get no-nonsense, hard talking, machismo. He's 'the bear', remember? Though I really do believe there is another side to MWS that maybe he will confess to one day. I don't think you can be a superb author and not be intuitive and sensitive, though that persona may not suit his image.
I know! and to top it all off, all the Shakespeare Stover has picked is tragedy! I would have gone for the Tempest or A Midsummer Nights Dream, probably because of the element of the fantastic.... But at least Romeo and Juliet isn't in there!
Leiali --
If it makes you feel any better, Evangeline Walton changed my life. She's one of the writers that BLADE OF TYSHALLE is dedicated to. That list was just off the top of my head, and I was specifally avoiding the in-genre stuff, which is to follow.
For Shakespeare's comedies, I prefer MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING and AS YOU LIKE IT -- though TROILUS AND CRESSIDA technically qualifies as a comedy.
Marlowe was indeed gay. As was, most likely, Shakespeare (or bisexual, anyway). Irrelevant to their writing. Speaking as a former actor, I truly believe that Marlowe reads better than he plays, but that's just my opinion.
And I am indeed masculine. I am also sensitive and intuitive, and I occasionally find tears in my eyes at the movies.
Yes, I am the complete 21st Century man . . .
And I'm modest, too.
A quick list in-genre:
Evangeline Walton
The Mabinogion
But specifically
A Prince of Annwn and The Children of Llyr
Robert A Heinlein
Everything up to and including Stranger in a Strange Land
After that . . . eh . . .
Roger Zelazny
This Immortal
Isle of the Dead
Lord Of Light
Creatures of Light and Darkness
The Last Defender of Camelot
Fritz Leiber
Collected Stories (all of them -- he was one of the the Titans)
The Fafhrd & Gray Mouser adventures (again, all of them, for the reason above)
Conjure Wife
The Big Time
Our Lady of Darkness

Ray Bradbury
Any short story collection, but particularly
Dandelion Wine
The Illustrated Man
A Medicine for Melancholy
Isaac Asimov
The Caves of Steel
The Foundation Trilogy
(with Robert Silverberg) The Ugly Little Boy
That should do for a start. Once everybody's worked their way through that list, I'll have more . . .
I love this thread. It's entertaining, and informative too!
Like Leiali I don't like Hemingway or Conrad either. But I don't know that it's because their writing is too masculine. I always figured it was because it was too dull and depressing and pretentious. (Just my opinion.)
BTW, thanks Matt for the lists. I'll be checking some of those out (theoretically, at least, when I make some extra money or find time to get to the library ).
Maybe Mr Stover can answer a question for me that I haven't been able to find out. He mentions Evangeline Walton retelling of the stories of The Mabinogion.(The four branches or Mabinogi) Does he know if Evangeline Walton used Lady Charlotte Guest's translation as her base or did she base her work on other studies done on the Red Book of Hergest
What, no Matt Stover? Oh, ok then, but only because you said so...
I don't feel too under-read...I've read about 10 from the first list and about 21 from the second list. Though to be fair, one of the books from the genre list isn't published yet.
That's merely a technicality.
True, it will probably be my first amazon.co.uk purchase.
I'm guessing we're talking about Scott here?
Matt - you only listed the Earthsea trilogy. Are you one of the purists who sticks away from the later two books (Tehanu and The Other Wind)?
Just saw the most recent answers to "Questions for MWStover" - any chance of a 'What comics/graphic novels you ought to be reading' list?
IF I ever get through training, I might start tackling that list. As it stands I've read 5 of the general and 10 in-genre. And I, too, will be ordering Scott Lynch's book when it gets published. He sure can write....
Haven't read 'em, that's all.
And yes, we're talking about Scott. That boy's a friggin' genius.
Separate names with a comma.

KOMU Staff
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KOMU) - A University of Missouri baseball player was arrested late Monday night for vandalism on the MU campus.
MU Police were called to the Reynolds Alumni Center at 11:30 p.m. Monday night with a report of active vandalism.
According to Captain Brian Weimer, police arrived and found Gavin Stark at the location.
Weimer said that after police made contact with Stark,he took a fighting stance and yelled profanities at the officers. Police said he then tried to flee and was apprehended.
Before the officers arrived, Weimer said Stark approached a fellow student, threw the student's computer to the ground and started to throw punches. Stark then picked up a large rock and threatened the student. The student then left the area.
Weimer said Stark threw the rock into one of the glass doors of the Alumni Center and entered. Weimer said once inside, Stark damaged lamps, lamp shades, coffee cups and tables.
Stark was transported to the Boone County Jail Tuesday morning.
Stark is suspended from the team indefinitely.

DIY eyepiece case scrap wood
Posted 17 January 2013 - 08:56 PM
I am pretty new to woodworking. I have done some rough work but never tried to do something finer.
Having some leftover pine solid wood, pine ply and birch ply, I thought i would give it a go. I practiced with the jig on other scrap pieces until I figured I had it down pretty good.
The hardest part for me is always finishing. It never comes out just right for me. I know as I do more work it will get somewhat easier, but for now it is pretty tuff to get right.
I used 3 coats of gloss poly then 2 coats of satin. I had some extra gloss left over and have heard of others doing it this way. Supposed to cut down on cloudiness on satin finish if you used gloss underneath. I do not have the experience to confirm this but I thought I would give it a try.
I think it came out decent. I got a little lazy and left the inside lid gloss.
Once setup right the PC jig was easy to use and accurate. The joints were pretty tight. I probably could have used no glue but I opted for a light film on the pins and tails.
I did have some minor tearout with the solid pine.
The eyepiece tray is completely removeable it just sets on some corner braces underneath. The eyepiece tray and bottom are leftover birch 1/2 inch. The top center is pine ply. The bottom is 1/2 ply rabbeted to fit inside. You can tell how the birch accepts the red stain differently than the pine. I use a pre stain conditioner on all the wood.
Now maybe I can get rid of a few aluminium and soft cases. THX.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:19 PM
Finishing doesn't get any easier with experience...I destroyed the best surface I'd ever produced in about one minute.
Nice case!
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:29 PM
Posted 17 January 2013 - 09:37 PM
Wow! I'd say you did a really nice job. I'd be proud if I had made that. And the finish looks great.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 10:00 PM
I am very happy with the outcome, I am just a little picky when it comes new things I don't have a lot of experience in. I like to learn things fully and do the best I can.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 10:32 PM
Posted 17 January 2013 - 10:50 PM
I haven't weighed or used the case yet. I just finished the last coat of poly today so I will let it out gas for a few days.
I used left over solid pine 1x8 for the dovetail box. It is 18 1/2 x 8 1/2 inside. Inside depth is around 7 1/2. THX.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:25 PM
If this is your 'new to woodworking' project results, you're going to be a force to reckon with in about three more weeks! Excellent job!

Posted 18 January 2013 - 06:09 PM
Does anyone know how long it should air out? It still smells like poly. Will it damage the coatings on my eyepieces?
I first tried to dovetail the lid corners but something went wrong somewhere and the lid was 1/4 lifted on one corner versus the other. and it would not set flat. Of course after the titebond 3 dried with the dovetails there was no moving it.
So I made the butt jointed one you see in the finished box. I payed more attention to how flat and square it was and it came out better.
Later after construction I found out that I could have made the entire box with the lid height added in and just cut the lid on a table saw. Live and Learn I guess.
Posted 18 January 2013 - 09:34 PM
Yep, sawing the box apart after gluing it all up is a standard trick.
Another good trick is to make the joint stepped - so it has a little lip on the inside to make it more dust-proof. when you have cut out the four sides, and before dovetailing, set your table saw blade height to half the thickness of your side pieces, and saw the 4 pieces from the inside, then move your saw fence one blade thickness, and saw from the outside, so the outside cut is one blade width lower than the inside cut.
The piece of wood will come apart, but you can test-fit them, and tape them together inside and out, and cut your corner dovetails, slots for top and bottom, etc. Then glue the sides together (make sure glue doesn't seep into the box-lid joint) and put in the bottom.
Remove the tape from the inside of the box before gluing in the top, or doom will occur!!
Then, after the glue sets up, peel the outside pieces of tape off, and there's your box.

I first tried to dovetail the lid corners but something went wrong
that is really sweet work. I like the lid not dovetailed, what you wound up doing looks much better.
Posted 20 January 2013 - 07:23 PM
Alan I like the zipper look of a dovetail joint. I did not attempt dovetailing plywood yet. I don't know if it is possible without bad tear out.
I have seen some hand cut dovetail joints on boxes before and was amazed. THX.

Posted 21 January 2013 - 05:01 PM
in London England. I think the design is the company logo.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 06:27 AM
Thanks for the tips. I had thought about edging the lid but was unsure if the thinner edge would hold up when I dovetailed it. You know, tear out on the top corners. Thanks and I may try that in future if I make another later on.
If you want to do a stepped (or straight) seam bewtween the bottom and top, set it so it happens in the middle of a pin/tail, so there is no chance a very thin piece will break out. The stepped method I described above yields only a 1/8" step, so it doesn't disturb much wood. Also, if you cut the lid right off, set the blade so it barely goes through the stock, it keeps the corners cleaner.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 06:48 AM
Rutilus that must be some expensive wine to have packaging like that.
Thanks Russell smart idea, makes sense. I'll have to remember that in the future.

I have the old user file saved (not sure where it is, but I have it saved through carbonite and windows easy transfer)
Can someone tell me where to locate this file and how to have the zimbra installation on my new computer pointing to this data.
Thanks in advance for any help!

RV Garage Plans for your Home Away from Home – The Garage Plan Shop
RV garage plans, sometimes referred to as motor home or motor coach garage, are designed to provide shelter and storage for an RV, camper or motor home when it isn't on the road. An RV garage has a few distinguishing characteristics when compared to a standard garage plan. RV garages feature at least one bay with an extra tall overhead door, a ceiling that is taller than average, an elevated roofline and an extra deep bay accommodating the height and length of the motor home. RV garages can consist of one single, stand-alone bay or the RV bay might be attached to another usable space such as a two-car garage, ideal for the everyday family vehicles, or a workshop making them even more practical and useful. Many RV garage floor plans include special features such as a half bath, loft, drive-thru bay or workbench. From a single RV bay to a 2-car or 3-car garage with attached RV stall, garage plans with RV storage are available in a wide range of sizes and styles making it easy to find the right one to fit your lot and complement your home.
Sometimes RV garage plans are not used for RV storage at all. While they are generally designed for storing a recreational vehicle, the RV bay is also well suited for auto mechanics who'd like to install an auto lift for car maintenance. Also, RV garage plans make a great alternative for a boat storage garage especially when it come to storing and protecting larger boats.
Practical and functional, RV garage designs often fit neatly in the side yard or backyard and are sure to keep your home away from home safe when you aren't traveling. Take some time to browse our collection of RV garage plans to find the right one to suit your needs.

Hey, So I created a new "story" thread to document my experiments with Bima+RU+ eventually CB once it gets ordered.
I originally started off with the classic Big3 (hence my name) and have since stopped taking Fin (I haven't ingested a Fin pill in over 7 months). I have been completely consistent with my minox for the last ~17 months, rarely missing a day. You can view my old story and progress here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=57613
My current regimen is as follows:
I apply 2ml of my minox+bim solution. I create this by adding ~30mg of Bim to a 60ml bottle of 5% Kirkland Minox. This means I am applying roughly 1mg of Bim to my scalp per day. I try to cover the entire scalp (not the sides obviously) with the 2ml.
I apply about 100mg of RU dissolved in 1ml of ethanol and then mixed with 2ml of minox to my entire scalp.
I have been using 100mg of RU daily for ~3 months now.
I have been using 1mg of Bim daily for just over 1 month now.
Here is a baseline picture from 3 months ago when I started RU.
Here are 3 shots I took last night to try to match against the baseline picture. This is taken in the same bathroom with same lighting.
It appears I am improving.. though it's obviously no miracle. It is still early on and I hope another 3 months will show better results.. I can only hope.
What do you guys think? I understand the pictures aren't as clear for some reason but it's what I have. I could try taking more after pictures tonight I suppose.

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
FAIRFAX, Va. – The region's largest jurisdiction has a new administrator.
Fairfax County supervisors appointed 59-year-old Edward L. Long Jr. county executive.
Long will oversee a budget of $6.8 billion and manage 12,000 employees.
Long is no stranger to the county. He's lived in Fairfax County for more than three decades and served as the Deputy County Administrator before briefly retiring.
Long's first priority will be dealing with the "new normal."
"We've got major issues and major funding challenges such as Dulles Rail," says Long.
He says he gets along well with all 10 current board of supervisors, who are technically his bosses.
"We know that the federal government hasn't begun to address their deficit yet. And when they do, we fully expect that to be passed down to the state and then passed down to us. And then we will have to deal with it."
Long will be paid $257,282 a year and will not take his retirement annuity while working for the county.
Long takes over on April 25 for Anthony Griffin who's been Fairfax County Executive for 12 years.
In announcing the appointment, Chairman Sharon Bulova said, "I believe that his skills and management style will continue to foster the culture of excellence for which Fairfax County is so well known."

As much as possible, doctors treating SLE avoid the use of glucocorticoids (steroids) because of their severe long-term side effects. However, these drugs are very effective in relieving the symptoms of SLE and will most likely be part of your treatment program at some point.
Less dangerous medications are the mainstay of controlling the symptoms of SLE as long as they are effective. Foremost on the list are the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They, too, can cause significant side effects, but none so severe as the glucocorticoids.
Antimalarial drugs are also used for their effects on the immune system.
A fourth class of drugs used in SLE is the immune modulators. These drugs, combined with glucocorticoids, reduce the incidence of kidney failure.
Many people with SLE have skin problems, which are often treated with topical corticosteroids. Other topical treatments are also used, as well as some of the medications listed below.
Prescription Medications
- Prednisone
- Prednisolone
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)—higher doses
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
- Sulindac
- Diclofenac
- Piroxicam
- Ketoprofen
- Diflunisal
- Nabumetone
- Etodolac
- Oxaprozin
- Indomethacin
- Celecoxib
- Hydroxychloroquine sulfate
- Chloroquine
- Methotrexate
- Cyclophosphamide
- Azathioprine
- Mycophenolate mofetil
- Belimumab
- Rituximab
Over the Counter Medications
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)—lower doses
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
Prescription Medications
Common names include:
- Prednisone
- Prednisolone
For SLE, cortisone-like drugs are given in short, sometimes tapering, bursts lasting 1-2 weeks. This is done to avoid the adverse effects of prolonged treatment. These doses are often quite effective in reducing inflammation, but should not be used when the inflammation is fighting off an infection. The adverse side effects increase rapidly beyond this time frame.
There are many complications associated with glucocorticoids. Even repetitive doses separated by significant intervals of time may eventually cause damage. Before taking a dose of a cortisone-like drug, be sure to ask your doctor if you have any reasons for avoiding it. Additionally, you may need to take calcium, vitamin D, osteoporosis and blood pressure medication, and to monitor your blood sugar levels while taking corticosteroids.
Possible side effects of glucocorticoids include:
- Fat face, hump on the lower neck
- Weight gain
- High blood pressure
- Increased susceptibility to infection
- Bruising
- Acne
- Abnormal hair growth
- Bone softening
- Bone death
- Cataracts in the eyes
- Glaucoma
- Diabetes
- Muscle disease
- Hypokalemia
- Menstrual disturbances
- Irritability
- Insomnia
- Psychosis
Common names include:
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
- Sulindac
- Diclofenac
- Piroxicam
- Ketoprofen
- Diflunisal
- Nabumetone
- Etodolac
- Oxaprozin
- Indomethacin
- Celecoxib
NSAIDs are widely used in the treatment of SLE, mostly for musculoskeletal symptoms. While they are probably safer for long-term use than corticosteroids, they can cause serious side effects. You should remain in close contact with your doctor if you are on one of these medications.
Possible side effects of NSAIDs at high doses include:
- Stomach problems, including ulcers and bleeding
- Worsening of chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart failure , or kidney disease
- Kidney damage
- Liver inflammation
- Lightheadedness
- Severe allergic reaction, such as hives , difficulty breathing, or swelling around the eyes
- Increased risk of bleeding—always inform your healthcare providers that you are taking an NSAID before having any medical or dental procedures or surgeries
NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular problems, like heart attack and stroke . This risk is especially important for patients with cardiovascular disease or who are have risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Take special care with NSAIDs and aspirin if you have had peptic ulcer disease ( gastric or duodenal ulcers , or gastritis ).
Common names include:
- Hydroxychloroquine sulfate
- Chloroquine
Originally used to treat malaria, these drugs modify the inflammatory response in ways that benefit people with SLE. They are not used for serious, organ-threatening disease, but rather for more moderate symptoms.
Possible side effects of antimalarials include:
- Headache
- Irritability
- Lightheadedness
- Weakness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Loss of appetite
- Visual disturbances
- Rashes
- Blood damage
- Muscle weakness
Common names include:
- Methotrexate
- Cyclophosphamide
- Azathioprine
- Mycophenolate mofetil
Immune modulators suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation. These may be used when someone can't tolerate high doses of steroids. They may also help people who don't respond to steroids to control inflammation. Immune modulators reduce the body's ability to fight infection. It is important to monitor cuts, scrapes, or any small wounds for signs of infection. You may also be at a higher risk for bacterial or viral infections.
Possible side effects of cytotoxic agents include:
- Bone marrow damage
- Increased frequency of cancer
- Hair loss
- Ovary damage
- Liver damage (azathioprine)
- Bladder damage (cyclophosphamide)
Common names include:
- Belimumab
- Rituximab
Targeted B-cell therapy is for who are receiving other standard therapies. The medication, given by IV, may reduce the number of abnormal B-cells thought to be responsible for tissue damage in autoimmune disease. The reduced action of infection-fighting lymphocytes increases your risk of bacterial or viral infections.
Possible side effects of targeted B-cell therapy include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Migraine
- Reactions during infusion, such as headache and nausea
- Rash or hives at infusion site
- Increased frequency of cancer
Over the Counter Medications
Common names include:
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
There are minor differences among the available agents in terms of dosing intervals, frequency of certain side effects, and other characteristics.
Possible side effects of NSAIDs at low doses include:
- Stomach problems, including ulcers and bleeding
- Worsening of chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart failure, or kidney disease
- Kidney damage
- Liver inflammation
- Lightheadedness
- Severe allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling around the eyes
- Increased risk of bleeding—always inform your healthcare providers that you are taking an NSAID before having any medical or dental procedures or surgeries
NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular problems, like myocardial infarction and stroke. This risk is especially important for patients with cardiovascular disease or who are have risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Take special care with NSAIDs and aspirin if you have had peptic disease (stomach or duodenal ulcers or gastritis).
Clinical Trials of New Drugs
There are major advances being made in SLE research. Whole new branches of medicine called molecular biology and genetic engineering are focusing on the mechanisms of immunity and inflammation. For this reason, you may want to consider participating in a clinical trial of new treatments. The government-sponsored website, Clinical Trials , maintains a listing of the trials that need volunteers.
Clinical trials are very tightly controlled experiments by the best researchers in the field. Every clinical trial is fully approved by several groups of knowledgeable health professionals for their safety and potential benefit. Each participant is informed of the risks and expected to cooperate completely with the treatment program. Some use medicines that are already on the market for other diseases, like the cytotoxic agents mentioned above. Others are brand new therapies that have been through at least two intense phases of testing—in the laboratory and on healthy human volunteers. Most clinical trials provide free care.
If you are interested, talk to your doctor about whether participating in a clinical trial is a good idea for you.
Special Considerations
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take your medications as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Discuss them with your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before you stop taking any prescription medication.
- Plan ahead for refills if you need them.
- Do not share your prescription medication with anyone.
- Drugs can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to your doctor if you are taking more than one drug, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if:
- The desired effect of your medication is not achieved
- A side effect occurs
- You develop new stomach symptoms

Agreed. She needs her time doing her things, in return I get to go on hunting trips.
Agreed. She needs her time doing her things, in return I get to go on hunting trips.
My wife is my fav hunting partner. No she's not going to hike in six miles everyday but she goes to camp with me every year every tag she might only hunt two or three days but is there with me and i go on those day by my self where she can't go. Heck last year she even spent 5 days in camp while i took her son ( he's 23)bow antelope hunting his first tag ever. 95 to 100 everyday!!! How can i complain?
I've always found that it is not so much the "you being gone" as it is the "worrying about your safety" that gets the better half. Cell phone calls are nice if your in that kind of area. Where I am cell phones don't work, even in town, so I have a SPOT messenger. I love it, the woman loves it, the family loves it, friends love it. No matter where I am, I can check in. With that, leaving for days or weeks at a time is a lot easier on my people.
People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
5 Years ago I got divorced from an unemployed welfare queen and now I lay down the law real plain & simple to any new prospects. My way or the highway. Real simple. Otherwise we just won't be compatible. If there's one with a quality job that wants to support the family solo I could understand, but otherwise forget about it. Even then I know people change so I am extremely cautious and keeping finances seperate is also a must.
I am certainly in no hurry to marry again and risk it. There's very little to gain with a piece of paper that only protects the lazy. What I have learned is that a marriage certificate is nothing more than a ticket for the state to escape financially from the welfare responsibility they legislate. I am 51 years old and have yet to collect my first unemployment check. For this I am only a target to the state. They need to get a job as well as all women.
She can't wait so she can party while im gone. Not sure what is better lol!
You sound a little selfish there Zim. You obviously haven't heard of give and take. Nobody likes a slouch, but the man is still supposed to be the main supporter of a family. Your comments are boarderline misogynous.
I recognized long ago that if I have a warehouse full of guns, but no public land or public wildlife, I have nothing!
I also got a SPOT unit a few years ago to keep my wife from worrying while I am out by myself. I do a lot of backcountry activities year round and am usually by myself so the SPOT is a good thing to have.
I usually take my wife with me on at least one backpacking hunt every year, she is pretty tough and goes anywhere I want, as long as I stop and let her rest and keep her fed she is pretty happy. Last year she called in a small 6 point bull for me, I have never seen her so excited, she still talks about it.
She has actually said to me that she would never try and keep me from doing the things I enjoy because she knows she would lose me.
I also have been looking at these SPOT devices for several years now since they debuted. They have a new one now that lets you program in a message that you send. Like "I got one come help me pack it out" lol. Or the standard Im ok post. I really like the idea of these. My wife even saw a friend of hers on Facebook link his up to post to his FB account last season, and so for a week she was able to see where he was hunting.
This brought up the conversation the other day about getting one. I found it nice to know she likes the idea enough to tell me about getting one before I came to her.
I hunt because......

Harry Verhaar, Philips: Switching the light for our future during Earth Hour 2013
- Date
- 20 March 2013
Harry Verhaar, Senior Director Energy & Climate Change, Philips Lighting, shares his views on switching to a more sustainable world ahead of Earth Hour 2013, when on Saturday March 23, a large part of the global community will switch off their lights for a better future.
What does it take to switch the lights off during and beyond Earth Hour?
HV: This Saturday March 23, a large part of the global community will switch off the lights during Earth Hour 2013. Switching off the lights – for the 7th time – during Earth Hour certainly has a symbolic meaning in various ways.
At the end of the 19th century electric light was the first mass electric appliance, with the incandescent light bulb a symbol for progress on the doorstep to the 20th century. From that moment on, artificial light has played an important role in the industrial revolution that has brought unprecedented socio-economic progress in a number of countries and regions in this world.
Is the switch reflective of a return to the darkness of the pre-industrial age?
Here lies another important meaning of Earth Hour, of which the motto is "Uniting people to protect the planet".
The current economic crisis, climate science as well as growing social inequalities, tell us that we cannot continue our wasteful and resource intensive ways. This is not only too high a burden on the quality of our living environment, but also a heavy burden on our (energy) budgets, be it at household, corporate, city or national level. In fact if we do not switch to more energy-efficient innovative solutions, we will quickly see the day that we really have to switch-off the lights, as well as cease to enjoy many other energy consuming 'services' that a century of economic progress has provided (TV, cars, holidays, internet).
We are at a tipping-point in the history of human progress. The good news is that smarter efficient solutions exist, and that if we massively make the switch we can continue to enjoy the fruits of prosperity, in a more equitable and sustainable way.
Is switching a light bulb enough?
Wasting less does not just mean switching a bulb. It is a combination of 'doing things smarter', varying from preventing light pollution (using better optics, bringing light only where needed), using smart controls (to switch off office lighting when nobody is there – or the last overtime worker has fallen asleep) and dimming (the streetlights when traffic is low). All in all this can save up to 80% or 90% of electricity for lighting while keeping the lighting service available. This is highly relevant as lighting represents 19% of global electricity consumption. On a global level savings amount to €128 billion in reduced electricity bills, vastly reduced investments in energy generation as we will be able to save 640 power plants (thus reducing public deficits) and 670 million tons of carbon dioxide.
It took around 100 years before we massively started switching the old energy guzzling incandescent light bulb for compact fluorescent lamps, and the speed of the LED-revolution shows that the next switch could be done ten times faster in the current decade up to 2020.
Can we make the switch and revolutionize our habits as society?
Encouragement can be found by realizing ourselves that we are in the process to switch to less wasteful and smarter solutions. The switch is however not happening fast enough. We should be able to increase momentum by not only speaking 'carbonish' or emphasizing energy and money savings as the only important benefits.
In my view we can increase momentum by talking about and sharing the real tangible social benefits, on how such solutions are having a positive impact on the quality of our lives. A certain level of streetlighting increases our sense of safety, and reduces crime. Good lighting at our workplace stimulates productivity without people having to work 'harder' and equally creates attractive ambiences at home at a fraction of the energy consumption of old technologies. And smart lighting will automatically dim or switch off when nobody is around.
What will such a more sustainable world feel like?
My view is that an hour on such earth will feel like a welcome break to take a breath (from all crises we are in), a week will feel like a holiday, and a full and massive switch will feel like a pathway into a brighter future where people have united to protect our planet, making it more enjoyable to live, work and play on the way!

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rice325 Christmas gifts The work was purchased as a Christmas gift for my son and his new wife. This work is a good investment. Makes cooking quite easy. I recommend the work it's a very good cooking utensil. September 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sheera great wok great price After looking at several very expensive alternatives Cost Plus delivered a high quality, reasonably priced answer to my wok search and included bamboo utensils (of which one can never have too many) LOVE HAVING HANDLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WOK Thanx so much... let the stir-frying commence!! January 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thriftmonster Good quality for a great price I've had this wok for over two years now, and it's regularly worked really well for me without any special care. It's very spacious and heats evenly, and the nonstick surface is very convenient if you don't want to use too much oil in your cooking. The utensils it comes with are blah unless you're really in need of a wooden spatula. The only downside I've so far encountered is that it's hard to fit into normal kitchen sinks and cabinets b/c it's so big. December 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by T Very nice wok I like this wok because it handled very well. The inexpensive wok did everything I expected it to. The wok comes with a lid and it comes with utensils. The wok is also non-stick. July 21, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynne great non-stick surface Good product for a good price. Great non-stick surface so you don't need to use as much cooking oil. Also great to have a wok with a cover for steaming vegetables. March 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jonathan The Voice Of Reason Carson Awesome Wok [...] I'm a person who can appreciate a good deal [...] Through work experience and personal love of cooking I have gained a wealth of knowledge in the kitchen. This wok that I purchased from world market is awesome and i would recommend it to anyone. It is easy to cook in, the shape prevents grease from reaching onto the cook, and the utensil overall is 6 stars. [...] it had all that i expected, and has been used frequently since its purchase. I would recommend it to anyone and am in the process of buying more for people i know will love them. June 3, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cajun Lady Highly Recommended Purchased this wok and made fried rice the same evening. Cooked evenly and cleaned up great. Even though I used the wooden utensils that came with it, I had a few scratches at the bottom of the wok. September 20, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lu This is great! I bought this as a Christmas present for my Mom last year as she's been into alot of stir frying especially veggies. Works great! I bought one for myself too and I love it. Very easy to clean also. I will be purchasing more this year as Christmas gifts! You can't beat the price! September 15, 2008

Stauffer's 46 years of quilting comes to a close
GOSHEN — Frances Stauffer has been providing quilted pieces for the annual Michiana Mennonite Relief sale every single year since it began in 1967. This year, however, will be her final year sewing quilts.
"I just didn't feel up to it anymore," says Stauffer, who will be celebrating her 102nd birthday in November. Though she won't be continuing her craft, Stauffer said, "I've always loved sewing."
Stauffer began sewing at a very young age, and eventually worked as a dressmaker and seamstress in rural Indiana. She said she started making quilts when she moved into the Goshen city limits, at about the same time that Mennonite Central Committee had its first relief sale.
Stauffer saw her quilts as an opportunity to raise money for MCC, and her quilts have consistently brought in thousands of dollars at each sale. One of the more notable pieces entitled "New York at Night," raised $12,000 alone for the relief sale in 2001, and was eventually passed on to New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.
"Since it's going for a good cause," Stauffer said about quilting, "it gives me a reason for making them."
In the past 10 years, Stauffer's quilts have raised well over $35,000 for MCC, which provides aid around the world through relief and development efforts.
Stauffer's quilted wall hangings portray images of Native Americans working with pottery, a duck and her ducklings floating on a river, or a row of doves in front of a tree. "Birds are my favorite," she said.
Some titles of Stauffer's previously donated works include "Grandmas Flower Garden," "Partridge in a Pear Tree," and "Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam's Wedding Day."
Though she usually contributes multiple pieces to each relief sale, this year will see only one full-size quilt, which is of a dark red feathered star pattern on a white background.
When complimented about her work on the quilt, Stauffer replied with a smirk, "I sure like that one myself!"
Stauffer's quilt will be sold at auction at the 46th annual Mennonite Relief Sale at the Elkhart County 4-H fairgrounds in Goshen Sept. 27, from 5 to 9 p.m., and all day Sept. 28. The quilt auction will begin Saturday at 8 a.m.

"Django" Action Figures Discontinued Following Outcry
Just weeks ago, action figures from the popular Quentin Tarantino film "Django Unchained" were prominently displayed on the website of the toymaker National Entertainment Collectibles Association. Now, they've seemingly disappeared.
That's because the 10-doll set has been discontinued after complaints that the toys were offensive, according to the Associated Press.
The 8-inch figurines representing the film's main characters were made available for purchase online after the movie's Christmas Day release. The toys were produced by NECA in collaboration with the Weinstein Co., the studio behind Tarantino's film.
"We have tremendous respect for the audience and it was never our intent to offend anyone," The Weinstein Co. said in a statement to the AP.
"Django Unchained" is Tarantino's homage to the spaghetti western, and tells the story of an ex-slave-turned-bounty hunter who walks a bloody path of revenge in a quest to rescue his enslaved wife.
Civil rights groups and some members of the public questioned the sensitivity of the dolls, saying it trivialized slavery.
"Selling this doll is highly offensive to our ancestors and the African American community," said Rev. K.W. Tulloss of the National Action Network. He was joined in protest by Najee Ali, of Project Islamic Hope, who called the dolls "a slap in the face of our ancestors."
Despite the controversy, "Django" has received both critical and public acclaim. The film was recently nominated for four NAACP Image Awards and five Academy Awards, including best picture. It is also Tarantino's highest-grossing movie to date, earning over $140 million at the box office.

While this certainly isn't a good sign for them it doesn't mean its the end of world. Syracuse lost an exhibition game when they had Wesley Johnson and went to the Sweet Sixteen. However, they don't have a hall of fame coach like Syracuse did.
Cy has balls of steel.
In order of likelihood.
1. Dixie State beating UNLV
2. Dixie State actually being a college
3. Dixie State being from Utah
I can't believe any of those 3 are true, but they all are.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure what he was talking about there. They had us pretty well handled most of the 2nd half. Maybe he meant the 1st half?
On the plus side for you guys, we're playing without our starting small forward due to injury, and our starting power forward quit the team 5 weeks before the season started. And our first-off-the-bench power forward quit this summer to pursue med school at Yale. Probably good for him, but a bummer for us.
Against Arizona we started 2 true freshmen, 2 true sophomores, and a senior who wouldn't be starting if our sophomore power forward hadn't quit a few weeks ago. In fact, we have one senior on the entire roster, and the only junior who played real minutes last year is the injured small forward. You guys will be taking on a roster made up almost entirely of true freshmen and sophomores. Some of them are very talented, but we have a really young team this year.
