|Women's basketball signs four in early period
MOSCOW - University of Idaho women's basketball coach Jon Newlee announced his 2009 early recruiting class on Thursday, and it features a group of student-athletes with length, athleticism and versatility.
Four players, three high school recruits and one junior college transfer, signed their letters of intent during the early signing period, and all of them are at least six feet tall.
Kelsey Bybee (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho/Coeur d'Alene HS), Alyssa Charlston (Sammamish, Wash./Eastlake HS), and Ashley Walters (Wilsonville, Ore./Wilsonville HS) are Idaho's high school signees, while Adrie Shiels (Canberra, Australia/Midland College) will come in as a junior next season.
"In our league, you really need to have length and athleticism to compete," Newlee said. "You look at Louisiana Tech, Fresno State and Boise State and the size and athleticism those programs have, and that's where we need to be. I think these girls have really addressed those issues with us and I expect all of them to come in and contribute right away."
Bybee, a 6-3 post player from perennial Idaho 5A girls basketball power, Coeur d'Alene High School, has helped the Vikings to back-to-back Idaho state titles, with a combined 50-3 record in the last two seasons. She also played for the North Idaho Elite club team for five years. She was also recruited by schools from the Big Ten, Big 12, Western Athletic Conference and West Coast Conference.
"It's great to have a local player from Coeur d'Alene, a winning high school program," Newlee said. "At 6-3, Kelsey is so athletic and can finish with either hand. She runs the floor really well and is a physical player inside. That's just the kind of post we're looking for."
Charlston is a 6-1 wing player from Sammamish, Wash. She comes to Idaho as one of the most highly-rated players in the Northwest. ESPN.com's HoopGurlz recruit service rates her as the No. 61 forward in the nation and the No. 8 overall prospect from the state of Washington.
"Alyssa was one of the more highly-recruited players that I've ever gone after," Newlee said. "She got recruited by a lot of the top schools in the Northwest, California, and the Big 12. To be able to get a player of that caliber at Idaho really sets the tone for classes to come, since we know we can get one of the top recruits in the nation."
As a junior last season, Charlston led the Wolves to a 17-9 record and second-place finish in the 4A KingCo - Crest league and a sixth-place finish at the Washington 4A state tournament. She was a first-team all-KingCo as a sophomore and junior. She averages 12 points, nine rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.
"She's so versatile," Newlee said. "Alyssa is going to give us so many looks, offensively and defensively, with her length and athleticism. She really gets up and down the floor, she can step out and shoot the three, she can play with her back to the basket if she has to, and she can really do a little bit of everything, and do it well."
Walters is a 6-4 post player from Wilsonville, Ore. She has led the Wildcats to back-to-back Oregon state tournaments, including a semifinal appearance in 2008 as a sophomore. WHS is 37-14 over the last two seasons, during which time she has led the team to a Northwest Oregon Conference title, earned first-team all-NWOC and broken school records for blocked shots and free throw percentage. For her career, she averages 10 points and six blocked shots per game, along with a 74 percent clip from the free throw line.
"Ashley Walters, at 6-4, has great size and is able to change shots defensively," Newlee said. "I think she's very talented, she runs the floor well, which I want to be a trademark of our post players, she can finish inside, and she can really alter shots with her length."
Shiels helped lead Midland College to a 30-2 overall record, a Western Junior College Athletic Conference title and a ranking as high as No. 3 in the nation last year as a freshman. In 2005, she led Weston Creek to a third-place finish at the Australian Junior Championships and was selected to the Australian Junior Camp, which invites the top 20 players in the nation.
"Adrie is an Australian with a lot of international experience, and she'll have two years at one of the top junior colleges in the country at Midland, and that has really toughened up her game," Newlee said. "I think she's going to come in here and give us a real toughness inside, but also the ability to step out. She can handle the ball and pass it on the perimeter, and she can shoot it from the outside."
Newlee said that these four recruits could create nightmares for opponents in coming years, as their versatility and athleticism can create mismatches at every position on the court.
"They can actually all play together, or they can complement each other as they come in and out," Newlee said. "I'm really excited about this class, more than any class in a while, just because of their length and athleticism, and the versatility that they're going to bring to our program."
Newlee also said that he is please with the strong classroom achievements of the signees. In addition to being recruited by Ivy League schools, the high school signees also come in with many honor roll and academic all-conference accolades.
"It's always our goal to bring in the best athletes and the best students," Newlee said. "When you have a class like this that has both, that can only be good for your program."
After beefing up the backcourt with his 2008 class of Bianca Cheever, Natasha Helsham and Kanisha Bello, Newlee has added four solid pieces to the frontcourt in the 2009 early period. Now, he said, there is one more piece left in the puzzle.
"The last piece of that recruiting class will be a point guard," Newlee said. "That will be our priority as we go through our end of the year recruiting."
Bybee, Charlston, Shiels and Walters will join Idaho for the 2010-11 season.

I have this weird misconception that the engine size is related to the amount of fuel being burned in one cycle(4-stroke engine). I know this is stupid but how does engine size relate to the amount of fuel being burned in one cycle. For example I drive a Ford Ka with a: 1.3i Endura-E engine OHV 1.3 L I4. So I thought that in one cycle 1.3L of fuel is burned, but this is not the case so can someone please explain how they are related.

With regular driving the Air/Fuel ratio is kept constant at 14.7:1. So if a larger engine needs more air (more swept volume) per cycle then yes it will require more fuel.
So the question boils down to which engine has more friction per cycle, and which car has more weight to carry around. The friction is measured in FMEP (friction mean effective pressure) which gives you the pressure required in the pistons to keep the engine spinning at a constant rate. FMEP times volume = Power per cycle needed to fight friction.
Note that most of the mechanical losses come from the friction between the piston and the bore. The more pistons you have (V6 vs. I4) the more friction you will have. Note that the #of camshafts, #of valves and #of journal bearings also affect friction.
This is more complicated than a simple ratio. I present as evidence exhibit A: the comparison between the BMW M3 and the Toyota Prius on the Top Gear test track.
In short, the Prius was driven at its top (not very high) speed and the M3 remained right behind it for ten laps. The resulting fuel economy results were:
That's the comparison between a 1.5 liter 4 cylinder vs. a 4 liter V8 and the bigger engine was significantly more efficient.
The money quote from Jeremy Clarkson was "It isn't what you drive that matters, it's how you drive it."
In short, if you're trying to compare efficiency between two engines, size is not the deciding factor.

Ah, fall is in the air. The cool, crisp air calls for layers... think cotton button downs, easy knits and light jackets in denim, leather or corduroy. But, let's get down to what really matters: the shoes and bags.
So, if you're looking for a great pair of easy summer-to-fall pumps, look no further than these wooden and leather Mary Jane-style pumps by nicole. The mix of tan leather and a darker brown strap makes for an easy look easily paired with jeans or casual dress. The color also screams autumn and easily transitions from the bright colors of summer to the subdued hues of the winter weather. You can find these Bolt New Tan pumps by nicole at Hip & Humble, $117.
Tan Mary Jane-style pumps with bronze stud details.
Of course, wherever there are shoes, a chic bag should be close by. This Orla Kiely Bird Watch Betty bag ($213 at The Children's Hour) in tan and dark brown bring a mellow look to any fall outfit, whether you're paring it with neutrals or pops of oranges, yellows, reds or greens. Add a colorful scarf, like this Orla Kiely silk number ($129 at The Children's Hour), and bring an easy elegance to the look.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
The colon is the the large intestine. It has four sections.
The first section is called the ascending colon. It extends upward on the right side of the abdomen.
The second section is called the transverse colon since it goes across the body to the left side.
There it joins the third section, the descending colon, which continues downward on the left side.
The fourth section is known as the sigmoid colon because of its S-shape.
The sigmoid colon joins the rectum, which, in turn, joins the anus, or the opening where waste matter passes out of the body.
Colorectal cancer is malignant cells found in the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are part of the large intestine, which is part of the digestive system. Because colon cancer and rectal cancers have many features in common, they are sometimes referred to together as colorectal cancer. Cancerous tumors found in the colon or rectum also may spread to other parts of the body.
Excluding skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women. It is estimated by the American Cancer Society that 148,810 colorectal cancer cases are expected in 2008. The number of deaths due to colorectal cancer has decreased, which is attributed to increased screening and polyp removal.
A type of cancer called adenocarcinoma accounts for more than 95 percent of colorectal cancers. It is the type we focus on in this section. These are other types of cancer that can be found in the colon and rectum, but they are rare.
Here is an overview of the types of colorectal cancer:
The following are the most common symptoms of colorectal cancer. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
People who have any of the following symptoms should check with their physicians, especially if they are over 50 years old or have a personal or family history of the disease:
The symptoms of colorectal cancer may resemble other conditions, such as infections, hemorrhoids, and inflammatory bowel disease. It is also possible to have colon cancer and not have any symptoms. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Risk factors may include:
A risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases, including cancers, have different risk factors.
Although these factors can increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factors never develop the disease, while others develop disease and have no known risk factors. But, knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease.
The exact cause of most colorectal cancer is unknown, but the known risk factors listed above are the most likely causes. A small percentage of colorectal cancers are caused by inherited gene mutations. People with a family history of colorectal cancer may wish to consider genetic testing. The American Cancer Society suggests that anyone undergoing such tests have access to a physician or geneticist qualified to explain the significance of these test results.
Persons with a family history of colorectal cancer may wish to consider genetic testing. The American Cancer Society suggests that anyone undergoing such tests have access to a physician or geneticist qualified to explain the significance of the results.
Although the exact cause of colorectal cancer is not known, it is possible to prevent many colon cancers with the following:
The following screening guidelines can lower the number of cases of the disease, and can also lower the death rate from colorectal cancer by detecting the disease at an earlier, more treatable stage.
Screening methods for colorectal cancer, for people who do not have any symptoms or strong risk factors, include the following:
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for colorectal cancer may include the following:
When colorectal cancer is diagnosed, tests will be performed to determine how much cancer is present, and if the cancer has spread from the colon to other parts of the body. This is called staging, and is an important step toward planning a treatment program. The National Cancer Institute defines the following stages for colorectal cancer:
Specific treatment for colorectal cancer will be determined by your physician based on:
After the colorectal cancer is diagnosed and staged, your physician will recommend a treatment plan. Treatment may include:

Here is picture of a NEF breach barrel section that I threaded
monoblock style for a .585" cal barrel, to make a NEF 585HE.
It goes on a SB2 10-12ga alloy, super strong frame. Its
OD is 1.210" and the barrel that screws into it will be tapered
to match contour and it will be 1.00" at muzzle, at 32" long.
I know these are strong enough as my 8GA FH testing shows..
Later will do couple more with heavy barrels for 28GA FH, etc,
as all the break action 28 gauges I've looked at have too
thin of muzzles for our slower, powder loads.I'll have 3 of these
that fit one SB2 frame I have here.This makes switch barrels
big power fun.Ed.

The paddle out is simple but creepy, with cold, dark water and undulating bull kelp doing a spooky little dance. As waves sweep over the kelp forest, bowlingball-sized bulbs are forced under water and burst through the surface again. Each erupting bulb makes me flinch in a millisecond of fear – early fall is the perfect time to find a great white petting zoo on this stretch of coast. Locals D.Z. and Chad appear unfazed by this and seem amused at my hesitation.
The waves aren't big, but the break is heavy and presents a technical challenge: Deep water converges onto a shallow, uneven shelf of barnaclecovered rock, and the takeoff spot is elusive due to long lulls, lack of exposed landmarks and closeout sets. Every wave watched or ridden is littered with clues about what to do when it's my turn.
Chad has it down and I watch him closely. He whips around late on a solid one; D.Z. and I hoot him on. At almost the same moment, we glimpse a big closeout set out the back and start scratching for the horizon side by side, rushing to beat the cascading lip.
When I surface, D.Z. is gone.
I chuckle a little, imagining him getting sucked over the falls backwards with only a duck-dive breath. But when I look back, just before diving under the set's second wave, I only see two feet of D.Z.'s 7′2″ tombstoning in the leftover turbulence, with just seconds before the next wave detonates squarely on his head.
I'm spooked now, thinking that his leash or a limb is hung up in a crevice on the bottom. When I resurface I whip around and sprint through the white water, scrambling in the direction I had last seen his board.
Time slows when you're tumbling under water. Add darkness, cold, a quarter breath: What is probably only 25 seconds feels like you're sprinting a mile blindfolded, not breathing, while being kicked in the guts. I'm worried that, at this point, D.Z. could be out cold or very close to it.
With the next wave looming, just before bailing my board, I catch a glimpse of D.Z. gulping air like a goldfish in the white wash; he looks tired and shocked but otherwise fine. Once he surfaces, I am out of my focused, adrenalized rescue mode and back to prowling for one more good wave.
Sitting out the back alone, I start daydreaming about dinner and begin looking forward to a good evening: Close calls make the food taste better and the storytelling richer.

Your welcome, they really do look nice!
What always frightens me about veneering is how to go about edges, how do you trim it so that it looks good?
Well, I have tried doing woodworking before, building speakers as well, I always end up with slightly wonky results and getting frustrated, I think it's best if I stick to Electronics and working with mild steel and aluminium enclosures.
I did have a router once, funny story about that.
So I bought this Ryobi router, came with a stand thingy to turn it into a high speed spindle moulder. So I go about setting it up, putting a bit in and so forth, the time comes to try moulding something, yay! I put the goggles on and all that and about 2 minutes later 'Ziiiiip' a small piece of wood is yanked from my hand and propelled across my garage where it is embedded into a breeze block. I stand there looking at the piece of wood, looking at the router, looking back and forth, mapping out the trajectory and then realising that it missed my head by about 9Cms..
Then I turned the router off, dismantled it, put it in the box and stowed it. Two years later my (now ex) Wife sold it to some guy seeing as how I was too scared to take it out the box anyway.
:-) I don't scare easy, but that machine scared the living daylights out of me, I don't really think I will ever be using such a device again.

Brandon Marshall could be questioned about a New York night club melee
Former Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall was involved in a incident at a New York night club Monday morning that could lead to the Pro Bowl receiver being questioned by police, and the possibly the NFL.
An altercation broke out at a party, which followed a charity event, and during the melee Marshall's wife, Michi-Nogami Marshall, was injured by a bottle that was thrown.
It's possible Marshall, who the Dolphins traded to the Chicago Bears on Tuesday for two third-round picks, could be questioned for his acts during the melee, which started inside the club and worked its way outside.
According to a source, one of the club's participants is claiming they were injured by Marshall and his companions as they exited the club. New York police are investigating.
The New York Post is claiming there was a fight between two football players, one of which the report claims was Marshall, and that he "cold-cocked" Christin Myles, who was celebrating her 24th birthday.
The Dolphins and Bears, which had been negotiating a trade since the NFL Combine, were aware of the incident before finalizing Tuesday's trade.
Here's a statement from Marshall's Attorney Harvey Steinberg regarding the club incident:
"On March 12,2012 Brandon Marshall was the key note speaker at a charitable event in New York. After the event was over he, his wife and close friends attended a function at a local club.
While at the function a fight broke out NOT involving Mr. Marshall or his friends. While attempting to leave to avoid the melee Mrs. Marshall was struck in the face by a thrown bottle. She suffered a serious injury.
While attempting to leave and take his wife to the hospital, the mayhem continued outside. Finally Mr. Marshall was able to take his wife to the hospital where she was treated for serious injuries.
Mr. Marshall is hoping to assist authorities in regards to this matter."

Same here. If you can just imagine a hate filled zenophobic rant then I'm sure you're not missing much.

I don't believe Ann Coulter is ever really serious about much of anything. She's a parasite who just says idiotic things to keep her name in the headlines and sell her books and tickets to her talking engagements.
For your pleasure....

The valley girl as wing-nut act is really worn out.
I think the govt needs to hold a convention discussing the barbaric, violent game of soccer and what they can do to keep everyone safe.
I love reading Ann Coulter. I am as conservative as they come, but she is purposely so off-the-wall offensive that she gets the attention she is looking for. And I find it completely amusing! I disagree with most of what she writes, but I sure do enjoy reading it.

Look at me, I'm desperately trying to keep my name in the news! People stopped listening to me talk about politics years ago, so now I'm turning to sports! Please keep my name in the news!
Pathetic little person.
I thought the first article was pretty stupid but have to admit I laughed a little reading the second one. Some of you are taking this a bit too serious (and we have the usual suspects who are basing reactions solely/mostly off her political stances).

First off, let's answer everyone's number one question: Is it pronounced Bow-em? Bow-mee? It's Bohme. Rhymes with Rome. Easy enough!
Since the opening of the first Böhme at University Mall in 2008, co-owners and sisters Fernanda and Vivien Böhme have employed their determination to grow the brand to a planned 20 stores nationwide by the end of this year. A store in Logan is set to open by the end of the month, and Newgate Mall in Ogden will get its first store by the end of June. Not to mention new locations in St. George, Idaho Falls, Denver, Boise, Nevada and Tucson. Whew! That's a lot of stores.
I had a little getting-to-know-you chat with Fernanda this week. Here's what she had to say:
What makes Böhme unique?
"We're very customer service oriented. We have what I call an 'aspirational environment' with clothing that is value priced. You get a lot for your buck. Everything is nice quality and the latest style, but you're not paying a ridiculous price. We look through millions of items just to find the most unique item for our customers."
What summer trends will you be featuring in the store this year?
"Neon is going to be big, and bright colors like tangerine. Teal blue has been really hot right now, and Kelly green. The brighter, the spicier, the better. We currently sell colored jeans, bright dresses and capris in all of our locations."
What's your favorite summer outfit?
"Coral skinny jeans with a teal silk top and the highest heels I can find. We sell selected heels that are really high, like wedges."
Shop in-store this weekend and receive a $20 gift card for every $100 you spend. Or shop Böhme online.

- In a small skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in sausage; add to rice mixture. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Yield: 2 servings.
Reviews for Meaty Cabbage and Rice
"I make this often and always use the rice cooker. I used ground chicken in place of the beef and loved that also!"
"I have been making this recipe for years (since the issue came out) and honestly, a rice cooker is the easiest way to make it....worth the investment!!!! NO changes."
"Brown the beef, breaking it up. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic and parsley and cook till tender. Add coooked long grain rice making sure not to "overrice" the meat mixture. Cook cabbage with onion and butter. Break some up and put into the ground beef mixture. Spread the cabbage in the bottom of a large pan, adding the meat mixture with the cabbage and rice added. Dot with butter and bake on 350 degrees until completely hot. Delicious stuffed cabbage casserole!!"
"I made this, doubled the receipe, it was a little hot next time will use mild tomatoes and peppers. Cooked it on top of the stove, it was really good."
"Here is another way to cook rice. I use a pressure cooker. Place rice and prescribed amount of water, you may also season at this time. I also sub chicken stock or broth for the water. Allow pressure to build; when it fobs, remove from heat immediately and let set 5 minutes. This works well for small portions - like 7 oz of rice - I'm single and do not cook large portions."

Montana Merchant wholesaler sales, 2007 ($1,000) by County
Loading map...
Value for Montana (Thousands of USD): 8,202,782
Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Economic Census, 2007. Updated every 5 years. http://www.census.gov/econ/census07
The wholesale trade sector comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. The wholesaling process is an intermediate step in the distribution of merchandise. Wholesalers are organized to sell or arrange the purchase or sale of goods for resale (i.e., goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers), capital or durable nonconsumer goods, or raw and intermediate materials and supplies used in production. Wholesalers sell merchandise to other businesses and normally operate from a warehouse or office.
The 2007 Economic Census classifies businesses according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), 2007.
Sales includes merchandise sold for cash or credit by establishments primarily engaged in wholesale trade; receipts from rental of vehicles, equipment, instruments, tools, etc.; receipts for delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, alteration, storage, and other services; gasoline, liquor, tobacco, and other excise taxes that are paid by the manufacturer and passed on to the wholesaler; and shipping and handling receipts.
Sales are net after deductions for refunds and allowances for merchandise returned by customers. Trade-in allowances are not deducted from sales. Sales do not include carrying or other credit charges; sales and other taxes (including Hawaii''s General Excise Tax) collected from customers and forwarded to taxing authorities; and nonoperating income from such sources as investments, rental or sales of real estate, and interest.
Sales do not include wholesale sales made by manufacturers, retailers, service establishments, or other businesses whose primary activity is other than wholesale trade. They do include receipts other than from the sale of merchandise at wholesale, e.g., service receipts, retail sales, etc., by establishments primarily engaged in wholesale trade.
Scope and Methodology:
The 2007 Economic Census measured activity during calendar year 2007. Large- and medium-size firms, including all firms known to operate more than one establishment, and a sample of small employers were sent questionnaires to be completed and returned to the Census Bureau by mail. Most very small firms were not sent a form, and data from existing administrative records of other Federal agencies were used instead.
These data include only establishments with paid employees.

It's a super-packed weekend for the kids, and luckily all our picks are things you'll enjoy, too. Broadway Across America is in Utah for the Lion King (check back for the review), and it's worth the trip to South Jordan for International Days on SoDa Row and The District.
The World in South Jordan
South Jordan's International Days started on Tuesday night, but it looks like Friday is the right time to take Bangerter all the way down to The District or Daybreak's SoDa Row for Folklore Fun.
SLC Film Center shows Strange Powers: Stephin Merrit and the Magnetic Fields Friday night in Pioneer Park. It's part of the Film Center's collab with Salt Lake City Corp. and Downtown Alliance... and each time they show a movie, it's paired with a concert from a local band at 8 p.m. Free of charge.
Our A&E Editor will see The Lion King tonight, so you can either see it with her or wait for the review and then see it. Either way, the Tony-award winner is making a huge buzz for the Capitol Theatre (shows Aug. 11-Sept. 26).

Here's a story to toast to: Drinking about two glasses of red wine each day may keep breast cancer away.
The Los Angeles Times reports a small study involving premenopausal women, published last week in the Journal of Women's Health, found that when participants poured themselves eight ounces of red vino on a daily basis, they "experienced hormonal changes that mimic the effects of a drug used to prevent malignant breast tumors from coming back."
Prefer chardonnay to merlot? Sorry, white wine didn't offer the same benefits.
Good thing we're lovers of red. Now, where did we put that corkscrew?

Sure enough, I went to my local GS and saw consignments for cheap ARs for over $2,000. Yep, even the old S&W MP15 without forward assist and ejection port cover listed for $2,000. I saw a Delton for $2,200 and a Colt listed at $2,800. Sure as shit, while I'm standing there I see the Delton and Colt go out the door.
I also saw 20-round Hungarian mags for sale at $50 each. I noticed that all the Glocks and Springfield XD pistols are gone so I guess now the frenzy has moved onto semi-auto pistols. A lot of empty space under the glass now. I was thinking maybe I would grab a XDS .45 if and when one shows up. So far they haven't raised prices on the handguns (yet).
Yep, think I will simply step aside for a few months and watch from the sidelines. This insanity is amusing but I can well afford to sit this one out. I did buy another cheap Mosin-Nagant for $120 but it had the brass fittings and is in pristine condition so I figured why not. Still have a couple more "fun guns" I would like to get but prices are just nuts so I can wait. Besides, I bought some Silver Eagles at the coin shop.

I play a mix of AD&D 2ed and 1ed and I need to know if monsters are supposed to have THAC0. I can't find the monster THAC0 chart anywhere. I only have the 1978 edition of the Monster Manual. My friend showed me how to start a dungeon but he forgot to tell me about THAC0.
Sign up

Yes, Second Edition monsters have THAC0. The Second Edition monster books were first the Monstrous Compendiums (looseleaf binders) and then later the Monstrous Manuals (hardbound).
AD&D Second Edition came out in 1989. You appear to be looking at First Edition AD&D monster books (Monster Manual, Monster Manual II, Fiend Folio). These do not have THAC0. It is reasonably easy to give these THAC0s, of course - you take what they need to hit armor class 0 off the 1e DMG table on p.75 and that's the base THAC0. 1-1=20, 1=19 1+=18,2-3+=16,4-5+=15,6-7+=13, etc. Modify by strength.
As far as I can remember the individual monster sheets in the Monstrous Manuals had THAC0s, since the monster needed that stat as well. (It was printed right after the monster's Hit Dice and before its No. of Attacks.)
I've got you covered! Go to page 196 of your DMG (1st Edition, that is) and look at the third column of the monster descriptions -- it says "To Hit A. C. 0".
Have fun playing!
Use the Combat Tables on Pgs. 74-75 of the 1979 Edition DM Guide. Your AC and level determine your Base THAC0 on these charts. Think of it like the game Battleship. AC across the top and your Level on the left side of the chart. For example, If I'm Level 2 thief with a Armor Class (AC) 5, my Base THAC0 would be 17. If I'm fighting a giant ant with an AC3, I would have to roll a 14 or better on a 20 sided die for an effective hit. (Ant's AC, minus my Base THAC0 = effective hit.) Good luck!

Recovering from a double mastectomy, actress Kathy Bates still manages to put a positive spin on things.
"I don't miss my breasts as much as I miss Harry's Law. ;-) Thanks for all the sweet tweets. Y'all kept me going," the 64-year-old tweeted, according to CNN.
The Emmy- and Oscar-nominated actress—and Oscar winner for Best Actress, for Misery—survived ovarian cancer in 2004, the network reports, and received her breast cancer diagnosis two months ago.
As pretty serious Fried Green Tomatoes fans, we wish Bates well and can't help but shout "Towanda!"

OKLAHOMA CITY – University of Oregon senior Jessica Moore was honored as the USA Softball National Player of the Week honor Tuesday after she posted a 3-0 mark at home last week vs. Oregon State and Seattle.
Helping the Ducks (45-7, 18-3) stake their first-ever conference title, the Sutter, Calif., native posted nine strikeouts in starts vs. both the Redhawks and Beavers – one shy of her season high.
She also struck out five in her other win vs. returning NCAA Regional finalist OSU.
For the week, she led the team in wins (3), innings (17), complete games (2) and starts (3), and stood second in ERA (0.41) and opposing batting average (.098).
"I'm really honored to be have been selected," said Moore. "The award adds to the great year that we have had so far, and I'm so glad to be a part of this team. Winning a Pac-12 title was a huge step for this program. It adds to our legacy and gives us extra momentum heading into the future. We're excited to be starting the final month of the season, and are feeling stronger and stronger."
All-time for UO, she improved her school career records for wins (97), strikeouts (875), innings (862) and appearances (168), and other top-10 career marks for shutouts (fourth, 18) and complete games (sixth, 74).
On Duck all-time season charts, she moved up to fourth for wins (24) and matched her sophomore mark.
This week she also ranked top 25 nationally in wins (20th, 24) and ERA (24th, 1.53) and stood second in the Pac-12 in each.
At the plate, she boosted the Duck offense with a homer vs. both Seattle (a two-run first-inning blast) and OSU (sixth-inning solo homer) to give her three on the season and six career-wise.
That latter round-tripper in the 2-1 win was her first game-winning RBI of the season and helped her hit .500 for the week (3-for-6) with a team-high 1.500 slugging mark.
"We're so thrilled that Jess was selected for such a prestigious honor," said Oregon head coach Mike White. "She has worked very hard the past four years, and has always been a leader on and off the field. The timing of the award is especially fitting after she helped the team win its first conference title at home on Senior Day."
Tuesday's award was the first USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week honor for an Oregon Duck in the 11-year history of the award.
Earlier this week, she picked up the fourth Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week honor of her career and second of the season.
Last month, she was similarly honored with NFCA National Player of the Week laurels after she beat then-No. 17 Arizona twice (including a perfect game in the finale).
Team-wise last week, Oregon scored a pair of wins vs. Seattle (4-0, 6-4) and its second season sweep of Oregon State (2-1, 11-0 (5), 8-0 (5)) the past three years (and sixth ever).
This week, No. 2 UO caps the regular season with three games at No. 5 Arizona State (43-9, 14-7), Thursday-Saturday, May 9-11. The final two games will be televised live by the Pac-12 Network at 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Top 15 Superfoods for People Over 50
These delicious foods help protect eyes, lungs, heart and brain
En español | Apples contain soluble fiber, which may help lower cholesterol and slow the uptake of glucose, helping you maintain healthy blood sugar levels. They're also a super source of potassium, antioxidants and vitamin C. — Getty Images1 of 17
Asparagus is high in lycopene, which has been found to protect the prostate and help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. In addition to lycopene, asparagus contains vitamin A, important for the immune system and eye health, and lots of fiber to help reduce cholesterol and encourage heart health. Asparagus also contains protein and iron — something you may not expect from these thin green spears. — P.E. Reed/Getty Images2 of 17
Like apples, blueberries are high in soluble fiber, which can help lower cholesterol and slow the uptake of glucose, helping you maintain healthy blood sugar levels. But there's much more packed inside those blue skins: Vitamins C and K are the major players, as are antioxidants and the mineral manganese. — Corbis3 of 17

Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate's antioxidants, including flavonoids and polyphenols, may help prevent heart attacks by protecting arteries from becoming clogged. Some studies indicate that consuming small amounts of dark (at least 70 percent cacao) chocolate on a regular basis can lower blood pressure and decrease the rate of stroke in women by 20 percent. — Christian Kargl/Westend61/Corbis6 of 17
The National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study found that people who drank coffee (regular or decaf) were less likely to die from heart and respiratory diseases, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes and infections. Coffee may also help protect women from breast cancer. Other research found that those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day in their 40s and 50s had a 65 percent lower rate of developing Alzheimer's than those who drank two cups a day. — Peter Stuckings/Getty Images7 of 17

Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt contains fewer carbohydrates, less sugar and salt, and more protein and digestive-friendly probiotics than American-style yogurt. A serving of low-fat or nonfat Greek yogurt may have twice the protein and half the sugar of its non-Greek counterpart. If you opt for full-fat versions, however, Greek yogurt has more saturated fat. — Getty Images10 of 17
Green Kale
Leafy green kale packs a nutritional wallop — cooked, raw or juiced. It contains important omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin K, which promotes blood clotting. It is high in fiber and is a rich source of calcium for bone health. It also provides lutein, which is important for eye health. — Getty Images11 of 17
Oatmeal's top benefit comes from its high soluble-fiber content, which helps lower cholesterol. Oatmeal is low-fat, high in protein and loaded with iron and other minerals. One cup of cooked oatmeal is only 166 calories. But adding sugar or using instant oatmeal with sugar increases the calorie count. — Corbis12 of 17
Olive Oil
Olive oil is high in monosaturated fat, which has been found to lower blood cholesterol levels, decreasing the risk of heart disease. Research also shows that this type of fat may keep insulin levels low and improve the control of blood sugar. This healthy fat further contains vitamin K, which aids blood clotting, and vitamin E, an antioxidant important in the creation of red blood cells. — Getty Images13 of 17
Pears are full of soluble fiber, which may help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, lowering diabetes risk. It also fills you up so you tend to eat less, and may reduce the risk of colon cancer. The fruit is nutrient- and mineral-rich, providing vitamin C, folic acid, antioxidants and potassium. — Corbis14 of 17
The South American grain quinoa is well-known to vegans and vegetarians because it's a complete protein and filled with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, such as B2, magnesium, copper, iron and phosphorus. Quinoa is full of fiber, gluten-free and easy to use in place of other grains, pastas or white rice. — Getty Images15 of 17
Salmon has been called a "super fish" because, among other benefits, it's high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s can reduce your risk of heart attack and irregular heartbeats. They can also help lower blood pressure and build brain cell membranes. When choosing between wild-caught and farm-raised salmon, keep in mind that farm-raised salmon often has more of the toxic chemicals known as PCBs. — Getty Images16 of 17
