The Wiser Amuser is a book of aphorism and photography. If you can imagine the world as a circus - not the one under the covered tent, but of everywhere outside that tent - where everyone, at their core, is a clown - not the one with an emotion-painted face on the outside, but with the face of every emotion wandering in wonder on the inside - and where, ultimately, "The Greatest Show on Earth" is magically and meaningfully happening right here, right now, on the inside and out, at all times and in all places, then you might begin to imagine a new path or ten to take toward peace and aliveness for your lifetime. If you choose to imagine such a world, The Wiser Amuser is an advocate for your reality. What says the Wiser Amuser in you?

Sehr schöne Terrasse, sauberes Studio. Aber nicht erschrecken am Treppenhaus.
Gute Tipps durch die Gastgeberin bezüglich Bus und Tram und Sightseeing.
Fernseher war aber nicht willig, allerdings bei dieser Stadt auch nicht notwendig.
A lovely studio with a very nice terrace. As centrally located as you can get it, most of the city within walking distance. Friendly and helpful welcome. Perfect place to stay for 1-2 persons.

Know your stock risk tolerance
Published: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 14, 2008 at 10:30 p.m.
A tumbling stock market and faltering economy have lots of people on edge.
As I wrote this, broad market averages were on the cusp of an official bear market. With many Americans hurting from sky-high oil prices and falling home values, my e-mail box is full of anxious questions about finding safe investments in uncertain times.
Most questions revolve around "timing" the market, or whether to be in or out of stocks now.
I readily confess I have no clue. A better question to ask ourselves is what we've learned about our risk tolerance since last October, when stocks hit their peak.
The extreme reaction to a very low risk tolerance is to swear off stocks forever. I don't recommend that approach, considering stocks historically have provided the highest long-term returns.
For the 20 years ended last Dec. 31, for example, the Standard and Poor's 500 stock index returned an average 11.81 percent a year compounded. But the average investor in stock mutual funds achieved a mere 4.48 percent annualized return, according to an ongoing study by Dalbar, a financial research firm.
The reason? Investors become exuberant and buy when prices are high, then panic and sell during market downturns, Dalbar has repeatedly found.
Even buy-and-hold investors can do poorly for long periods. From Jan. 1, 2000, through last June 30, for instance, the Standard and Poor's 500 Index, even with reinvested dividends, has basically broken even. You would have done better with certificates of deposit or even U.S. Treasury bills.
If you hold insured CDs and Treasury securities to maturity, your principal won't be at risk. But your long-term returns will be modest, and you'll likely need to save considerably more to reach your goals.
For the risk-averse, a more sensible approach is to limit stocks to a small portion of the portfolio, such as 20 to 30 percent. Ongoing research by investment adviser Paul Merriman in Seattle shows that even a small allocation to stocks in a globally diversified portfolio can increase long-term returns without too much risk.
Merriman is rare among advisers in that he advocates both mechanical market-timing systems and buy-and-hold, depending on the investor's disposition and risk tolerance. I don't favor market timing but respect Merriman and his work. (See Web site www.fundadvice.com and click on "The ultimate buy-and-hold strategy" and "Fine tuning your asset allocation."

Very nice and cosy hostel in Puerto Natales. I personally liked the extra touches such as having power points/reading lights for every bed, well-designed and clean toilets and having a warm fireplace in the lounge during the cold nights. One of my favourite hostels for my South America trip.

Staff are not helpful with rental gear. Just leave it up to you to try and work it out for yourself. Breakfast is nice as scrambled eggs are made for you and yoghurt available. Good kitchen facilities but gets busy at dinner time. Showers just ok. Overall a nice place to hang out.

Best hostel in S America possibly. Extremely comfortable. Great breakfast (eggs and good coffee available). Present and kind staff. The rooms are gorgeous--some of the nicest I've seen at any hostel. The common room is extremely well done. Rustic, cozy, quaint. Can't say enough good things. Thanks Yagan!

The private double we had was furnished really nicely and the beds were very comfy. The decor in the communal areas was very cool and the atmosphere very relaxed. They also have equipment you can hire if you need it for trekking.

What a difference a day makes. On my first visit prior to the W walk the staff seemed harassed, the hostel a bit untidy, the lady cooking breakfast was late, there was no toilet paper in any of the bathrooms and I would say my stay was only average. This could have all been due to a group of European guests staying there. After my walk the staff were friendly and efficient, the bathrooms clean and well stocked and everything as it should be in an efficiently run hostel. A big difference.

I confess I was a little bit disappointed by this hostel, since there are so many nice reviews about it. Our private bedroom was just ok. The bed was great, but too small and not a single place for storage, and it was right next to the stairs that would take people to the rooms on the first floor, in other words, it was incredibly noisy. Not mentioning the people talking loudly after 11:00 pm without any concerns about those who wanted to sleep. Wouldn't stay there again.
Me sorprende que se quedaron tantas noches y sin embargo les pareció tan malo nuestro Hostel, encuentro inconsecuente de su parte y muy masoquistas por aguantar tantas noches en un lugar tan incomodo como ustedes dicen...podrían haber conversado el tema con nosotros y sin ni un problema les hubiésemos devuelto su deposito y buscado un hotel, creo que les hubiese acomodado mas. Nos gusta trabajar para gente que está cómoda con buena energía y feliz, y no esta demás agregar que los hostales se caracterizan por ser ruidosos en el día, ya que a la gente agradable le gusta conversar y compartir, asi es nuestro Hostel, amistoso, alegre y relajado...que tenga un buen día!

Staff were very knowledgable about TDP and helped with last minute planning/prep. Good ratio of rooms to bathrooms - never had to wait to use the bathroom (which was equipped with a great shower). Breakfast was very minimal. We were supposed to leave a bag at the hostel while we went to TDP, but no one was awake when everybody was leaving to catch the morning bus, so everybody left their bags with a note and crossed their fingers that it was fine (which it was).

The bed linen were dirty and were definitely used by previous guests. After we asked, it was changed. There was no breakfast in the morning even it was supposed to be. The other guests were also confused. We were searching for a storage room quite long since nobody was around to help us. The hostel is far away from the bus station: 20 minutes by foot uphill. So, we paid around 50 € for a twin room. I am sure Puerto Natales can offer better accomodation for this money.

Yeah, it'd be cute.
If we do get through 2015, would you want Perfuma to be scented ala Moss Man and Stinkor?
Just for context, the vintage toy did have a scented accessory.

Yeah, it'd be cute.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
Yes, please!
More Vintage NA for MOTUC in 2017!!
MOTUC Top Ten pre-SDCC wants: KAYO, Hoove, Drissi, Crystoll, Chef Allen, any Catra variant, Quakke, Nocturna, Red Knight, Clawdeen (flocked)
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon, Skystalker
Moss Man & Stinkor were scented, so Perfuma should be too.
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
The question is rhetorical, right?
Sure thing and i hope they go the same distance and find the same scent as they did for Moss Man and Stinkor.
*Toy version Catra *Sagitar *Drissi *Lizorr *Zilora *Granita *Delora *Battle Armor Queen Marlena *Hawke *Pebb-Liss(Minicomic Comet Warrior) *Lady Slither
Ehhh....My favorite character is Stinkor, so I was glad that he smelled. But, along with Moss Man, the scent has faded quickly from the figures just like I believe Perfuma would. Worst case scenario, I spray some of my wife's perfume on her.
Keep The "Classicized" 200x Heads in MOTUC!
No Thundercats Sub For Me Due To The 200x King Hsss Torso fiasco!
Nah...I definitely want Perfuma, but I definitely don't want her to smell like perfume!
I'm indifferent. I think it's a great idea, but if they need to save money on anything, that should be the first thing to go! LOL I just hope we get her!!!
Must Haves before MOTUC is complete! QUEEN ANGELLA! Mermista, Peekablue, Perfuma, Imp, Admiral Scurvy, General Sunder, Colonel Blast, Vultak, Clawdeen, Stridor, Nightstalker, Cat version of Catra METEORBS Gwildor, Saurod, Point Dread with Talon Fighter! Sagitar
She is low on my POP want list but if they do make her, i would want her scented.

It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Sure, it makes sense!
No thanks.
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Land Shark 3) Road Ripper

No issues with me if she is scented.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*200X ~ WMD Roboto/Sorceress *Filmation ~ Teela' Na/Hawke *Play-Sets ~ Eternia/Crystal Castle *Vehicles ~ Land Shark/Roton *Beasts ~ Stridor/Dragoon
I loved that Mossman was scented....for about ten minutes. Then it was just this lingering annoying smell in the room. Then I got Stinkor, and it was two lingering annoying smells. Please don't give me a third.
Voted Yes! Would really be a cool thing since Moss Man and Stinkor were scented.
No big deal if she aint though. You could always tear out a page from a magazine and rub her down with some girly/flowery scent.
voted "Yes" but real answer is "I dont care, sure why not?"
Oh yeah, that'd be so cool!

Oh definitely.
I love her perfume. It's so relaxing. I actually even went as far as opening my last two MOC just to smell her scent again.
Unfortunately, that was a year and a half ago and you can't smell it anymore.

No, I wish they made Stinkor's smell optional, like something you could do yourself if you wanted....She would have to definitely stay sealed, perfume gets to me if it's too much, then mixed with Stinkor....no thanks.
Recent.... HATMOTU Trap Jaw
Coming.... Classics Vultak
Wanted.... Classics Masque & Callix?
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Stinkor barely smells at all anymore. I just got another one and took him out of the package last week and that one smells even less. He is on my desk two feet in front of me and I can't smell him at all. His scent was definitely scaled down from Moss Man and I'd imagine if Perfuma was scented she too would be more on the mild side.

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent Ser. No. 12/680,603, filed Aug. 20, 2010, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,123,567, issued Feb. 28, 2012, which is a U.S. National Stage filing under 35 U.S.C. 371 of PCT/US08/77483, filed Sep. 24, 2010, now expired, which claims the benefit of and is a non-provisional of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/976,864, filed Oct. 20, 2007, now expired; all of which applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference as if rewritten in their entireties.
The present disclosure pertains to implantable medical electrical devices and systems, and more particularly to connector assemblies and electrical contacts employed by the devices and systems.
Implantable neuromodulation systems can provide electrical stimulation for the treatment of pain and/or various neurological disorders. Neuromodulation systems typically include a plurality of stimulation electrodes which may be implanted at specific sites along a spinal cord, a peripheral nerve, or in a brain of a patient; the plurality of electrodes are typically mounted to an elongate lead body which carries corresponding conductors for electrical coupling of the electrodes to a neuromodulation device. Electrical coupling to the device is accomplished via connector elements terminating each conductor at a lead connector, which is configured to mate with a corresponding connector port of the neuromodulation device.
In recent years, new models of neuromodulation systems have been developed for increased functionality, for example, in providing stimulation from an increasing number of lead electrodes. In order to accommodate the increased functionality, while keeping a bulk of these implantable systems to a minimum, for patient comfort, there is a need for miniaturization of system components and higher density arrangements of these components without sacrificing system reliability.
The following drawings are illustrative of particular exemplary embodiments and therefore do not limit the scope of the invention. The drawings are not to scale (unless so stated) and are intended for use in conjunction with the explanations in the following detailed description. Disclosed embodiments will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like numerals denote like elements.
The following detailed description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides practical illustrations for implementing exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Examples of constructions, materials, dimensions, and manufacturing processes are provided for selected elements, and all other elements employ that which is known to those of skill in the field of the invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize that many of the examples provided have suitable alternatives that can be utilized.
Each feedthrough assembly 440 includes a feedthrough member 410 extending through ferrule 413 and surrounded by an insulator element 415, for example, a glass or ceramic, known to those skilled in the art, which is hermetically sealed, for example, via a braze joint, known to those skilled in the art, to feedthrough member 410 and to ferrule 413. Mount 46, ferrules 413 and feedthrough members 410 may each be formed from any suitable material, examples of which include, without limitation titanium, niobium, platinum, platinum/iridium, molybdenum, zirconium and tantalum. According to the illustrated embodiment, each feedthrough member 410 includes a first part 411, electrically coupled to the corresponding electrical contact 430, a second part 412, extending through a corresponding port 403 of insulative base 43 and away from the corresponding contact 430, for electrical coupling within housing 201, and a bend 401 located between first and second parts 411, 412.
According to the illustrated embodiment, each connector element 400 includes an approximately cylindrical portion 423 having a longitudinal axis extending approximately parallel to first side 421 of substrate 402, such that, when pressed into electrical coupling receptacle 489, for electrical coupling to the corresponding electrical contact 430, an end 427 of approximately cylindrical portion 423 is adjacent an end 417 of fixedly coupled feedthrough member 410. Each element 400 may be pressed into the corresponding electrical coupling receptacle 489 by applying a force, for example, per arrow C, to a second side 422 of substrate 402.
A first force may be applied to press portions 423 of connector elements 400 past protrusions 433 and into electrical coupling receptacles 489 of contacts 430 for electrical coupling, and a subsequent second, and opposite, force may be applied to lift connector elements 400 out from electrical coupling receptacles 489. Each of these forces could adversely load feedthrough assemblies 440, for example, at interfaces of insulator elements 415, were it not for bend 401 formed in each feedthrough member 410 between first and second parts 411, 412 thereof.
As previously described, in conjunction with
Some exemplary embodiments from another group of embodiments, which was introduced in conjunction with
Like connector assembly 220, previously described, connector assembly 320 includes the plurality of feedthrough assemblies 440, wherein each feedthrough assembly 440 extends through a corresponding opening 406 of mount 56, and each feedthrough assembly 440 includes ferrule 413, joined to mount 56, feedthrough member 410, coupled to a corresponding electrical contact 430, and insulator element 415 hermetically sealed to ferrule 413 and feedthrough member 410. An insulative base 53 of connector assembly 320 supports contacts 430 and includes ports 403 to allow feedthrough members 410 to extend through base 53 for electrical coupling with contacts 430; the electrical coupling of feedthrough members 410 to contacts 430 may be the same as that described, in conjunction with
With further reference to
Turning now to
With further reference to
According to exemplary embodiments, contact 630 is made from MP35N sheet metal, which has a thickness of approximately 0.0025 inch and has been stamped, or otherwise formed, into the shape shown in
Although not shown in
With reference back to
In the foregoing detailed description, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, it may be appreciated that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Mutual respect for Quiroga, Blaney after close finish
Pair has had its run-ins but praise is evident after hard-fought finish
Hornish balances full-time options with family life
No. 9 opening piques interest of veteran driver RELATED: Play NASCAR Fantasy Live " Sign up for RaceView today SPARTA, Ky. -- After losing his full-time NASCAR Nationwide Series ride at the close of last season, Sam Hornish Jr . has gotten used to having time for a more normal family life. And now that he's spent most weekends at home with his wife, Crystal, two daughters, Addison and Eliza, and son Sam, it will take a lot for a team to convince him to get back on the road for a full season. "There's not a ton of availability to be out there to be full time, and I also have three kids, so there's a part of me that really wants to go full-time racing -- and to do it in the (Sprint) Cup Series -- and that's a big part of me," Hornish said. "But then I realize, the other thing is, as far as a family aspect of it that I'll miss, it's gotta be the right thing." The right thing, he said, is a team that will put him in a place to win and surround him with good people. Just such a ride has piqued his interest: the one Marcos Ambrose 's well-timed departure will leave open next season. Ambrose announced earlier this week that he'll leave Richard Petty Motorsports to return to the Australian V8 Supercars as a driver for Roger Penske. Team officials for RPM have said they're still evaluating options for a replacement in his No. 9 Ford. However, Ambrose's primary sponsor, DeWalt, revealed this week it will move to Joe Gibbs Racing for 2015, leaving future sponsorship in question for the No. 9. With Aric Almirola , driver of the No. 43 for RPM, making the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup for the first time this season, the team is certainly a strong option for a driver as selective as Hornish. His interest in the ride, he said, shouldn't be of surprise to anyone. "I feel like any driver that wants to be full time in the Cup Series or would like a good place to go work at has talked to Richard Petty Motorsports about that opportunity," he said. "When you look at it, they've still said that they're working on getting all their funding in place. I read the same things that you do. As soon as we found out there was an opportunity, that Marcos might be leaving, you know, 'Hey, what are you guys thinking about for next year?' " Almirola's performance, in particular, has given Hornish confidence the organization is on the rise and could be a good destination. With nine races remaining, the No. 43 driver has already tied his record number of top-10 finishes in a season with six. He led laps in last week's Chase opener at Chicagoland before suffering a heartbreaking engine failure that ended their day. "They've shown a lot of progress with the 43 team over the past year. With all of Richard's success, you would feel like it's very important for him to move the team forward, to get back to where he expects that it should be at," Hornish said. "I feel like there's -- on the outside looking in -- a lot of good things going on over there." As a part-time driver for Joe Gibbs Racing this season, Hornish has one win and four top-fives in seven starts. He's fattened his schedule with testing for the Sprint Cup Series, TV responsibilities, appearances and time at the Joe Gibbs Racing garage. He's also found time to simply be a dad, dropping his kids off at school and taking them on family outings. Since driving nearly a complete schedule since 2008, Hornish hadn't gotten a taste of that life. When it was announced he would no longer have a full-time Nationwide Series ride last year, he took it in stride. Should he learn he's without one again, he'll shake it off again. "A lot of people might've taken things harder or whatever," he said of getting the news last year. "I've just enjoyed the fact of getting a little bit of a new outlook on life and what's going on around me."

Truck Series race tough on title contenders
Multiple drivers face different obstacles at Talladega TALLADEGA, Ala. -- "Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations -- you got your money's worth," Spencer Gallagher exclaimed after the finish of an action-packed fred's 250 powered by Coca-Cola at Talladega Superspeedway . The track threw its best at the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series title contenders, with penalties, wrecks and debris shaking up the points standings several times throughout the 95 laps. It all started with points leader Matt Crafton . The No. 88 pitted under the race's first caution and as Crafton pulled out of his pit stall, the neon yellow Menards/Fishers Nuts Toyota got into the back of the No. 99 of Bryan Silas as he turned into his own stall, doing damage to both trucks and turning around the No. 99. An additional pit stop was required to fix the damage of the No. 88, after which Crafton battled visibility issues. "We definitely had a lot to overcome," Crafton said after the race. "We got our first pit stop, got tore up on pit road. Then after that, it was downhill. I had so much chatter on the radio. 'What do I do? Do I wait back here? I'm stuck back here.' " After making his way back into the top three, Crafton got an unwelcome push draft from the No. 8 of Joe Nemechek . The result was a black flag from NASCAR, which sent both cars to pit road to serve a pass-through penalty. "They're black-flagging us, and I don't get it," the No. 88 crew chief Carl Joiner said over the radio to a furious Crafton. "Tell Joe, 'Thanks a lot, you (expletive) idiot.' " Crafton's teammate Johnny Sauter didn't have an easier time at the restrictor-plate track. He ran over debris 20 laps into the race, and a punctured radiator caused the No. 98 to fall off the pace at Lap 25 without any warning. "Another kick in the (expletive)," Sauter said as his team worked in the garage. Sauter came to Talladega in second place in the standings, 19 points behind Crafton, with an anything-goes attitude, saying, "If it works out, great, if not, oh well. That's just the attitude you have to have." That attitude changed quickly. "Championship's over, and from here on out we can just race like hell," Sauter lamented from the garage. Even Ryan Blaney , who made his way into Sauter's second-place position in the points standings, 16 points behind Crafton, had to battle his way up the points standings. En route to his 19th top-five finish of his Truck Series career, the Brad Keselowski Racing driver earned a speeding penalty during green-flag pit stops on Lap 44, sending him a lap down after running at the front for 30 of the race's first 43 laps. "We gained about 10 (points) on Matt so that was good," Blaney said. "We had a great … truck. I made a mistake early and sped on pit road and that kind of put us back a little bit. But we got right back up to the front really fast." Darrell Wallace Jr. , hoping for his first champagne celebration in Victory Lane after turning 21 earlier in the month, started the race in 27th, but teamed up with eventual race-winner Timothy Peters early on to move into the top 10 by Lap 4. Wallace ended the day in third place in the standings, 28 points behind Crafton after a ninth-place finish, while Peters earned the title of biggest mover toward the top of the points standings, moving into fifth from seventh, cutting 18 points off his deficit. "Obviously we know that the championship might be out our reach, but who knows, maybe we could pull the Hornaday and win the rest 'em and be right back in it," Peters said. After picking the wrong line on a final restart, Crafton went home with a 14th-place finish. Thorsport Racing teammate Sauter was unable to get back onto the track, finishing 71 laps down in 31st. When the dust settled at one of NASCAR's most unpredictable tracks, however, Crafton lost only three points of his buffer at the top of the leaderboard. "At least we got out of here somewhat in decent shape," Crafton said. As his teammate knows, Talladega could have done much worse.

Bubba returns to Martinsville a different driver
Wallace Jr. tries to repeat on weekend honoring Wendell Scott TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Darrell Wallace Jr. bounds into the media center, shaking hands and saying hellos as though he wanted to be there. He recently turned 21, and is excited to finally have the chance to win a Keystone Light Pole Award. A year ago, when he won his first NASCAR national series race at Martinsville Speedway in the Camping World Truck Series , he couldn't enjoy a champagne celebration in Victory Lane. The Kyle Busch Motorsports driver has seen a lot in that year. In the 21 races following his first win, he's scored two more trips to Victory Lane and seven top-five finishes. He still taunts good friend Ryan Blaney on Twitter, showing that he really is just 21, but has developed into a more level-headed driver in the year after his first win. "The maturity level has gone up, I'd say, inside the race car," Wallace said of the past year. "... I think just learning everything -- learning the tracks, understanding how things work, letting little stuff go, and focusing on the end of the race, instead of getting flustered at the beginning when I lose six or seven spots, and get upset and end up wrecking." That scenario plagued Wallace twice last year, once at Charlotte Motor Speedway and again at Kentucky Speedway. A poor restart at Charlotte and slow pit stop at Kentucky both lost positions for the then 20-year-old rookie, and both situations ended in a wreck for the No. 54 team. He's kept himself out of trouble more often this year, resulting in a much-improved season. " ... Now we just go out and have (a) fun, smooth race -- still not happy if we don't win, but it's still a good points day to finish in sixth vs. 26th, so i think that has changed a lot," Wallace said. "I've relaxed and learn to take in more and listen more and go out there and utilize that -- what I've learned, -- it's definitely shown." Also impressed with his season is boss and Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Busch , who knows how emotion can impact the performance of his full-time driver. "Our trucks have been really good this year; it has been great to see other talent run well in our stuff with Bubba -- and Erik Jones as well," Busch said after his win at Chicagoland Speedway , finishing five spots ahead of Wallace. "I look forward to watching the rest of the year and see if Bubba can't make a challenge for the championship ... he needs to keep his head up and just keep fighting." Wallace has also been a big part of NASCAR history. Beyond earning a personal milestone at Martinsville Speedway with his first Trucks win, Wallace also became the first African-American driver to win a national series race since Wendell Scott in 1963, as well as the first to win in the Camping World Truck Series. The Scott family was on hand at Martinsville to witness and celebrate the history of the occasion. "When the checkered flag dropped, I heard a big boom from heaven, and my daddy said 'Hell, yeah!'" Franklin Scott, son of the soon-to-be Hall of Famer, said after the race. Wallace, on the other hand, seemed a bit overwhelmed by the magnitude of the occasion. "It's been great seeing all the outlets that I'm on, doing all this stuff, it's for the better, and it's trying to change the sport, and I'm all-in for that," he said. "Just carrying the torch that Wendell Scott laid down for us, and taking it farther. That's the biggest thing I'm trying to do." When he returns to the track this weekend, known as Scott's home track, Wallace will drive with Scott's number and paint scheme adorning his KBM truck as he continue to battle toward the Camping World Truck Series title, which would put the young driver in NASCAR history books once again. "The colors look good, the blue-and-white Toyota Tundra No. 34 is going to be different for sure, but I'm excited to carry on the Wendell Scott banner and represent their family and his legacy for that weekend," Wallace said.

Teamwork helps pull Keselowski through
Team Penske uses Logano's locked-in status to its advantage RELATED: Follow your picks in the Perfect Chase Grid Challenge for chance at $100,000 prize TALLADEGA, Ala. -- As cars whipped around Talladega Superspeedway in the second attempt at a green-white-checkered finish, Brad Keselowski had teammate Joey Logano just behind him. Logano threw a block to stave off a charging Kevin Harvick , keeping Keselowski out front in his battle with Ryan Newman . After his win at Kansas Speedway , Logano was a lock to advance into the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. His teammate, however, needed a win to continue on after two poor performances at Kansas and Charlotte. Team Penske owner Roger Penske made Logano's obligations clear. "It's pretty simple," Penske said. "With the structure of the Chase, he was already committed into the next round, so we sat down with he and Brad and (Ryan) Blaney and said, 'Whatever you can do today to help the 2 car get in the winner's circle, that's what you have to do.' And I think he obeyed orders pretty well." Not every team had that luxury. Hendrick Motorsports had all four drivers winless and battling to make the next round: Jeff Gordon , Kasey Kahne , Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Only Gordon advanced to the next round. There was little teamwork between the Hendrick drivers; no pushes to the front or blocks to keep a teammate into the lead. Earnhardt and Johnson both needed a win to move on, and often found themselves battling each other for the lead. "(The Penske) situation for teammates worked out pretty nice, because Joey was locked in," Johnson said. "My situation with the 88, who I ran around a lot -- I had to win. I had to beat him in order to transfer, so it was more of a competition than thinking, 'Hey, there's my buddy, there's my teammate. Let's race.' " The Joe Gibbs Racing group was in a similar position. None of the team's cars had clinched advancement into the next round. Kyle Busch appeared to have the biggest buffer, coming into Talladega second in the points standings, six points away from Logano. Denny Hamlin was just above the cutoff in seventh, while Matt Kenseth was in ninth place, the first elimination position. Each driver was on a different strategy. Hamlin and Kenseth advanced to the Eliminator Round, while a wreck runied Busch's day and saw him finish on the wrong side of the Chase cut line. "(I) hate lagging in the back, but couldn't afford to have what happened to the 18 happen to us and take our chances out," Hamlin said of his 18th-place finish. "Still proud of our effort and happy that we made it." Kevin Harvick was able to take chances for Stewart-Haas Racing , but is the only remaining driver on the four-car team's roster still in competition for a title this year. Part of his effort went toward helping Kurt Busch , who was eliminated after the first round of the Chase, to a seventh-place finish. "I felt like on the last restart that Bowyer was going to be our catalyst, but it ended up he didn't stay attached to our rear bumper, so I couldn't get to Newman in time and that outside groove was going," Busch said. "So, I had to get to the middle to salvage what I could, and that was seventh. I just have to thank Kevin Harvick for being a great teammate all day today." Getting that push when it mattered prove to be a win-or-go-home moment. Johnson said he knew he was "in trouble" when, after a late restart, he moved to a new line and had nobody behind him. Keselowski, on the other hand, had that push. Their points reset to level the playing field at 4,000 points coming into the Eliminator Round, so neither Penske driver will have the benefit of a locked-in teammate ready to throw a block at Martinsville Speedway . For Hendrick Motorsports and Stewart-Haas Racing, both with only one car remaining in title contention, Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick , teammates will be at the ready. "Moving forward, Jeff and Kasey and Junior have always been amazing team players for me on my championship runs," Johnson said. "And I'll do my best to help them."

Drivers keep calm before the storm of Talladega
Johnson on outside looking in on advancing to Eliminator Round RELATED: Follow your picks in the Perfect Chase Grid Challenge for chance at $100,000 prize TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Six-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson is in unfamiliar territory. A favorite coming in to the new elimination format of the post-season, Johnson is in position to be dropped from the list of title contenders come Sunday evening after the GEICO 500 (2 p.m. ET, ESPN). Yet the Hendrick Motorsports driver is quite relaxed. After all, it's Talladega Superspeedway , and there's no use preparing for what you can't predict. "Talladega takes a lot of pressure off of a driver until race time, because there's not much you can do," Johnson said Friday before getting in his No. 48 Chevrolet for the first practice session of the weekend. "I think the majority right now of my head and the relaxed week and my calmness right now is just due to it being Talladega, and my job's really not important until Sunday." "And then, I'm sure, the pressure will kick in," he added. The No. 48 team's take-it-as-it-comes attitude isn't the only one in the garage. Jamie McMurray , driver of the No. 1 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing , was also expecting a low-key weekend until the green flag on Sunday. "Talladega is one of the more laid-back weekends for all of us. It's typically one practice to see if the car feels good," he said. "I'm glad they base qualifying if it gets rained out on your practice speed, because it gets all the cars on the lap for at least one session. Then it is pretty laid back for the rest of the weekend until the race starts. So, it is one of the calmer weekends we get to have." That's not to say there won't be any excitement at the 2.66-mile restrictor-plate track. Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr . is in a position to be eliminated after a 39th-place finish at Kansas and another disappointing finish at Charlotte. Brad Keselowski and Matt Kenseth , who made contact on the track at Charlotte and later ended the evening with a scuffle, are also looking to move into one of the eight positions that will continue into the eliminator round. Matt Kenseth is only one point behind eighth-place Kasey Kahne . Keselowski is 19 points out of the last transfer spot, with Johnson and Earnhardt each seven points behind Keselowski. A win is the only sure way for each of the five to advance. "We've seen races very competitive and aggressive, we've also seen races where the lead group of cars decide to ride around the top and makes it a single file race," Johnson said. "There is no rhyme or reason why that happens. So I think its hard to predict what the race will be like. I can promise you, though, with four guys needing to win to transfer that at the end of the race there will definitely be some racing. It might just be us four at the bottom trying to find our way around or in a different lane trying to get to the front, but there's at least four that have a really big reason to take chances and to be aggressive and to win." Aggression and frustration seem to be the common themes woven through this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup storylines, especially in light of the relaxed preparation for the carnage that is always expected at Talladega. Both emotions were evident on Johnson's radio last weekend, as the driver and his crew chief took part in an expletive-laden discussion about a poor-handling car. The brewing tensions that boiled over between Kenseth and Keselowski last weekend embodied that frustration, as well -- and it's clear that they haven't been forgotten this week. "I think there's definitely an increase of intensity on the track and off the track; there's no doubt about that," Ryan Newman , currently fourth in the Chase standings, said. "You've opened it up to more competitors, which makes the intensity even more. You get more attitudes and egos in there. That, I think, is kind of expected." With one last chance to advance deeper into the Chase, Kenseth, Keselowski, Junior and Johnson aren't there to make friends -- as Kenseth and Keselowski proved last weekend. That also goes for the Hendrick Motorsports duo, whose other teammates, Jeff Gordon and Kahne, are sixth and eighth in the standings, respectively. "At the end of a race, it doesn't matter if it's Junior or my mom or anybody –- I have to win," Johnson said. "My quest to win a seventh championship is the thing I'm most concerned about. I know my teammates are going to think the same way and have the same approach. We're out there to win for our teams and ourselves to move on and have a shot at the championship."

McDowell hopes to hold serve for Penske
Opportunity to run in the No. 22 comes within heated owner race RELATED: Play NASCAR Fantasy Live " Sign up for RaceView today SPARTA, Ky. -- The last time Michael McDowell was in a NASCAR Nationwide Series ride, he was driving the No. 20 for Joe Gibbs Racing at Iowa Speedway earlier this season. He battled Brad Keselowski in the No. 22 Team Penske ride throughout the final laps, settling for second while Keselowski celebrated in Victory Lane. This weekend at Kentucky Speedway , McDowell will be in that No. 22 for the VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300 as he continues to hunt down his first Nationwide victory. Aside from his own aspirations of a win, McDowell's job is also to keep owner Roger Penske atop the owner standings -- the weight of which won't keep the driver down. "I've been in these sort of high-pressure situations in the past with Joe Gibbs Racing going in over the years," McDowell said. "There's a lot at stake, I realize that, and obviously this is a car that's won four races already this year and runs up front every week. And so the pressure for me is just, I really just take every week the same, I go out there and do the best I can and try to get the most out of the race car that I can, and hopefully the results will come from that." With two top-10 finishes in two Nationwide Series starts this season, McDowell has had a welcome respite from finishing outside of the top 20 as so often happens in his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series ride. McDowell has competed in 13 races in the top national series and earned only two top-20s. In three races, his No. 95 Leavine Family Racing Ford did not qualify. Racing for a small team has presented its challenges, but competing for top teams in Nationwide has kept them from getting to the driver. "(I've) sort of struggled and had to do a lot of things that you wouldn't think would be ideal in a career: ... not have well-funded programs in both the Nationwide and Cup sides," McDowell said. "And it just made me realize, OK, this is why I stuck in it, and this is why I continue to do what I'm doing -- is for an opportunity like this to drive a great race car for a great organization and hopefully get a shot at Victory Lane, you know, it makes it all worth it for sure." His opportunities with Penske and Gibbs have been beneficial to the small, single-car organization where McDowell spends most of his time. While Leavine Family Racing continues to battle limited funds and a smaller staff than teams like Penske, who provides its equipment, having the chance to be a part of a winning team brings LFR closer to doing so itself. "The opportunities that I've had over the last three or four years in the Nationwide Series, I feel like is what's really kept me in this sport, because I got great opportunities to hop in and get top-fives and a couple of runner-up finishes, and it kind of makes you relative in this sport," McDowell said. "But more than anything for me was, it wasn't so much a confidence boost as it was, 'OK, this is what it needs to feel like, this is where we have to get,' and it allowed me to go back to my Cup programs a little more focused on, 'OK, here's the areas we do well, here's the areas where they do it better.' And that's really helped me be able to bring more to the Cup program."

I think that it is easy to see some benefits of separating BOOT and DATA into two partitions or drives; it makes for each backup.
However, I was always under the impression that it is better to separate your BOOT from your DATA drives to increase performance. For this reason, I had 4 drives, configured in two mirrors (BOOT & DATA).
Because drives are so large now, I'd prefer to take two terabyte drives, mirror them, and partition them into BOOT and DATA.
Am I losing any performance benefit here?

Stewy Chicken
- 1 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces (2 breasts, 2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 legs)
- 1/3cup all-purpose flour
- 1teaspoon kosher salt
- 1teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4cup olive oil
- 1 1/2cups finely chopped onion (about 1 large onion)
- 8 small inner ribs of celery, 3 finely chopped and 5 cut into 2-inch strips
- 1/4teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3tablespoons fresh tarragon, roughly chopped
- 3tablespoons fresh marjoram, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2cups dry white wine
- 2cups chicken stock
- 1/4cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Place the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl; mix well. Lightly coat each piece of chicken with the flour mixture on all sides.
- Heat the oil in a large enamel casserole or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook on both sides until the skin is golden, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken; set aside. Add the onion, chopped celery, and red pepper to the pan and sauté until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the tarragon and 1 tablespoon of the marjoram; sauté 2 more minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the wine, turn heat to high, and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat. Return the chicken to the pan along with the stock and the remaining celery. Sprinkle with the parsley and the remaining tarragon and marjoram. Cover and bake 1 hour or until the chicken is very tender. Serve in shallow bowls.

Wet, cold and windy conditions met the teams who both like to play an expansive game, Warrington adjusted to the conditions quicker and were able to put the Manchester line under pressure going in at half time 0-5. Despite having plenty of possession, Manchester just couldn't find that cutting edge until scoring under the sticks in the 40th minute to set-up a tense last 10 with the score 7-13. Warrington responded well keeping Manchester out and with a clearing kick moved the ball into the Manchester 22 which resulted in a score on the last play of the game. 7-20
Thanks to John for referring the game.
Well done & good luck to Warrington team and the coaches in the next round.
To the Manchester team, good effort, you never gave up but sometimes you have to adjust your style of play to what is in front of you. Amen

This Week in Milwaukee: July 17-23
Thursday, July 17
Jazz in the Park w/ AhVantSoul @ Cathedral Square Park, 6 p.m.
AhVantSoul is the creation of Jon Pierre Gee, a soul singer and onetime leader of Junior WalkerŌĆÖs All Stars. The group performs in the spirit of Walker, playing some of the soul greatŌĆÖs most loved songs, such as the blistering saxophone-driven ŌĆ£ShotgunŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Come See About Me,ŌĆØ along with a broad sampler of soul and R&B songs from the ŌĆÖ60s and ŌĆÖ70s. The group has a deep catalogue of classic Motown to draw from, rendering each performance instantly recognizable.
The Dirty Heads w/ Pepper @ The Rave, 7:30 p.m.
Given how the measured cadence and singsong vocals of reggae were a major inspiration for hip-hop, The Dirty Heads arenŌĆÖt stretching too far by rapping over relaxed island grooves. Songs like ŌĆ£Cabin by the SeaŌĆØ and ŌĆ£Dance All NightŌĆØ evoke an endless beach party, while African drums and staccato acoustic guitar give the songs an instantly danceable groove. The California band has close ties to the reunited Sublime; they even tapped SublimeŌĆÖs replacement singer Rome Ramirez to sing on their breakout single ŌĆ£Lay Me Down.ŌĆØ
Friday, July 18
Hot Tuna @ The Pabst Theater, 8 p.m.
Formed as a side project of Jefferson Airplane in 1969, Hot Tuna is the musical love child of Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen, the bandŌĆÖs founding members and sole constants. The band opened for Jefferson Airplane, playing their covers along with traditional blues and rock material, until Jefferson Airplane faded out and Hot Tuna made an independent name for itself. Following a series of test runs in electric rock and a profound drift from its beloved blues and acoustic mix, Hot Tuna released several albums but eventually fizzled out by 1979. Their second act has proven to be a long one, though. Since theŌĆÖ80s, theyŌĆÖve reunited in various configurations and, in particular over the last decade, theyŌĆÖve toured aggressively. All those shows led to an album of new material, Steady as She Goes, in 2011.
Festa Italiana @ Henry Maier Festival Grounds, 11:30 a.m.
MilwaukeeŌĆÖs celebration of all things ItalianŌĆöand the latest installation in the parade of ethnic festivals the city offersŌĆöFesta Italiana will bring classic cuisine, authentic entertainment and plenty of Parmesan to the Summerfest grounds this weekend. Aside from dozens of vendors serving up meatballs, rice balls and many types of noodles in various combinations, Festa offers dancing, an Italian Idol singing competition, a bocce ball competition and fireworks shows each night. Strolling musicians are on hand to serenade festivalgoers, complementing four stages of music featuring Italian acts such as Tre Bella as well as more American entertainment in the form of Milwaukee country act Bella Cain and a Bruce Springsteen cover band. (Also July 19-20.)
Saturday, July 19
Port Fish Day @ Port Washington Harbor, 10 a.m.
Outsiders are often surprised to hear that Wisconsin claims the worldŌĆÖs largest music festival, but theyŌĆÖd probably be a lot less surprised to learn that it also claims the worldŌĆÖs largest one-day outdoor fish fry. Set near Port WashingtonŌĆÖs Downtown harbor, Port Fish Day serves up about 10,000 pounds of cod and 13,000 pounds of fried potatoes every year. This yearŌĆÖs 50th anniversary installment of the event will feature an 8K run and 2 mile Fun Run/Walk at 8 a.m., a parade through Downtown Port Washington at 10 a.m., a classic car show, carnival rides, helicopter rides, a smoked fish-eating contest and fireworks, along with five stages of food and entertainment. The dayŌĆÖs big headliner is country singer Josh Thompson, a Cedarburg, Wis., native who has scored hits with drinking-themed songs like ŌĆ£Beer on the TableŌĆØ and, more recently, ŌĆ£Cold Beer with Your Name on It.ŌĆØ
The Voice Tour @ The Riverside Theater, 7:30 p.m.
Following in the footsteps of ŌĆ£American Idol,ŌĆØ NBCŌĆÖs singing competition ŌĆ£The VoiceŌĆØ hits the road for a summer tour. The tour features soul singer Josh Kaufman, this seasonŌĆÖs winner, as well as runner-up Jake Worthington and third-place finisher Christina Grimmie. Unlike past tours, however, this one will feature performers from multiple seasons, including Jamaican singer Tessanne Chin, the previous seasonŌĆÖs winner, and Dia Frampton, one of the breakouts from the showŌĆÖs inaugural season. Expect plenty of duets and collaborations.
Over The Edge @ Miller Park, 9 a.m.
Face your fears while helping Wisconsin Special Olympic athletes to realize their dreams. Over The Edge is an organization that holds rappelling events as a fundraiser for nonprofits, and the Milwaukee event gives participants a chance to rappel down one of the cityŌĆÖs most iconic buildings: Miller Park. Participants who raise $1,000 will get the chance to slide down a rope assisted by a team of professionals. Those who raise $1,500 or more and feel a bit squeamish about going alone can take advantage of a buddy rappel.
Monday, July 21
Jack White w/ Benjamin Booker @ The Rave, 8 p.m.
Retiring The White Stripes certainly hasnŌĆÖt hurt Jack WhiteŌĆÖs brand any. With his many side projects and, more recently, his solo albums the singer/guitarist has continued to enjoy the kind of ŌĆ£rock legend in progressŌĆØ cache otherwise reserved almost exclusively for Dave Grohl. WhiteŌĆÖs latest album Lazaretto was influenced by a series of plays and short stories he wrote when he was 19 and features typically eclectic songs skipping across and often melding a range of styles, from operatic hard rock to choir-driven blues. The album received nearly as much press for its unorthodox vinyl release as it did for the music itself. A special deluxe edition of the record features hidden songs, a secret song intro and, most imaginatively, a hologram that appears when the record is played.
Tuesday, July 22
Panic! At The Disco w/ Walk the Moon and Magic Man @ The Rave, 7:30 p.m.
Panic! At the Disco have a complicated relationship with emo. They debuted with a decidedly Fall Out Boy-esque sound, but on their sophomore album, Pretty. Odd., they took a sharp turn toward Beatles-inspired baroque-pop, revealing themselves to be a much more creatively restless band than anybody could have guessed from their straightforward inaugural 2006 hit ŌĆ£I Write Sins Not Tragedies.ŌĆØ Apparently not thrilled with the new direction, founding members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker left the band in 2009, but Spencer Smith and Brendon Urie carried on as a duo, continuing their baroque flirtations while drawing from modern indie-rock on their 2011 album Vices & Virtues. Their latest release Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!, however, is less of an either/or proposition. It finds them striking a middle ground between emo theatrics and their more traditionalist pop leanings.
Wednesday, July 23
Phantom of the Opera @ Marcus Center, 8 p.m.
Based on the novel by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera has become one of the most enduring Broadway musicals of all time. Debuting in 1986 with music from Andrew Lloyd Weber, the tale of a mysterious musician and his pursuit of a beautiful opera singer has continued to wow audiences with its epic scale and unusual juxtaposition of romance and horror; it reached its 10,000th Broadway performance in 2012. This grand-scale Cameron Mackintosh-helmed production of the musical, which features a cast and orchestra of more than 50 players, runs at the Marcus Center from July 23 through Aug. 3.

Oct 2006 - $20.00
Great location for us, 6 miles from Whitetail ski resort and even closer to the golf course. It's back in the middle of nowhereville, but a nice quiet campground. Did have a playground that my kids loved. Didn't look as pretty as the web site pictures, employees were VERY friendly and saw them driving around camp ground a lot, which makes me feel better. There are a lot of live ins and a lot of people that leave their camper for part time visits but its was quiet. On the Saturday night that we where there we did hear some load music and people but it didn't last long or late, not sure why it stopped but it did. (not sure if employee stopped it or it stopped on it's own) WE WILL STAY AGAIN AND WILL UPDATE AS NEEDED. - suzipittard

Located in the gorgeous mountains, this place is a gem. There are many seasonal sites here, and that does not detract from the quality and friendliness in the least. The owners are superb. Our power and water were adequate. Our site was gravel and level. There is a nice pool and a little store. - LittleCastle

Saunderosa is a very nice campground. I have always enjoyed camping there. There are some very nice spots by the creek. The kids especially enjoy playing in the water all day. The pool is adequate but you have to pay extra to swim in it. Saunderosa could use more weekend campsites as most sites are permanent. And the bathrooms also need more attention during busy weekends. - GaryKPA
