Over the last five years that Abraham Harrison has been pitching bloggers on behalf of clients, we have learned a thing or two about how best to reach bloggers, how to engage them, how to get them to carry our client's message to their readership. Whether we're doing an outreach to the bloggers of mainstream media and celebrity blogs or to someone who has just set up a blog for the first time, it all begins with the message model.

Inbound marketing the way nature intended
When it comes to inbound marketing, honesty and transparency reign supreme. When it comes to blogger outreach, Socialmedia.biz's Chris Abraham advises, 'be honest and everything else will follow. No tricks. No sleight-of-hand. Just honest, reaching out with relevant material.' Continue reading
Real bloggers and real blogs always trump Robot Armies
Blogger outreach isn't a one-time, campaign-oriented approach. Rather, it's a relationship that lasts for years between you and each blogger. Find out why real bloggers — and real blogs — always trump the robot armies that roam the internet. Continue reading
Real Americans don't care much about A-list blogs
I had breakfast with John Bell of Ogilvy a number of years ago. He didn't see the value of investing limited budget, time and resources on the long tail when those treasures would better be used to woo the high-fliers, professionals, top-cows and A-listers. That's fair enough, and surely a common question, and a question we must address close to the beginning of every sales call we make at our agency when we propose blogger outreach to a prospective client.
The value comes from penetration, permanence, perseverance and persistence. There are only a finite number of members of every organization's email list. Mashable and TechCrunch have a sizable but vertical (narrow) audience. Continue reading
How to pitch bloggers so they'll post about you
Last week I told you how not to pitch a blogger in your PR outreach, so it raises the pregnant question of what exactly should you do?
For about five years now we've seen an extraordinary number of clients and potential clients who have frankly been afraid of blogger outreach because of the poor practices of companies and brands that have stumbled in their attempts to engage the blogosphere. So today I wanted to walk through our process to show you how it's done. Just how do you pitch a blogger? Continue reading

Roger Kieschnick Called Up to SF Giants
Kieschnick was a third-round pick by the Giants out of Tech in 2008
July 30, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - The wait is over for former Texas Tech outfielder Roger Kieschnick (2006-08) who has been called up to the big leagues by the San Francisco Giants. Kieschnick was promoted from Triple-A Fresno, where earlier this month he was named a Pacific Coast League All-Star.
Kieschnick, 26, will join the club and be activated Tuesday in Philadelphia for the start of a three-game series against the Phillies. The series opener is Tuesday at 6:05 p.m. CT.
Originally drafted by the Giants in the third round of the 2008 Major League Baseball First-Year Players Draft following his junior season at Tech, Kieschnick has spent five seasons in the San Francisco farm system prior to getting the call up to the big leagues.
Kieschnick will become the third Red Raider this year - and 26th all-time - to make their MLB debut. He will be the seventh Red Raider to make it to the big leaguers over the last four years and will become the 19th Texas Tech player to debut since 2000.
Kieschnick, originally from Rockwall, Texas, was a three-time All-Big 12 selection, a 2006 first team Freshman All-American and Big 12 Freshman of the Year, two-time Academic All-Big 12 pick, two-time ABCA All-Region selection while playing two summers with the USA Baseball National Team (Collegiate).
He played in 168 games (168 starts) in three seasons as a Red Raider with a .322 (222-for-689) career batting average with 151 runs, 54 doubles, 10 triples, 39 home runs, 156 RBI and 23-of-33 stolen bases.
His final season in 2008 as a Red Raider he batted .305 with 15 doubles, 17 home runs, 65 RBI and tallied eight stolen bases. He remains one of only two players in school history (Wes Shook, 1991-92) to lead the team in triples and home runs in back-to-back seasons.
A five-time minor league all-star, Kieschnick was among PCL leaders this season batting .273 (102-for-374) with 50 runs, 27 doubles, nine triples, 13 home runs and 56 RBI in 101 games played. Just this past week Kieschnick batted .375 (9-for-24) with four runs, four doubles, two home runs and three RBI in six games.
In 476 career minor league games, Kieschnick has batted .275 (497-for-1,807) with 277 runs, 108 doubles, 29 triples, 71 home runs, 298 RBI and 28 stolen bases.
Kieschnick is the second Red Raider from the 2008 MLB Draft class to make it to the big leagues as teammate Zach Stewart made his debut with the Blue Jays in 2012. Kieschnick is now the fifth player off the 2006 Texas Tech team to make it to the big leagues, joining Dustin Richardson, Josh Tomlin, AJ Ramos and Colt Hynes.
- Kieschnick is just the second Red Raider outfielder to make it to the big leagues, and is the first since 1991 when Donald Harris was called up by the Rangers. Harris is the highest drafted Red Raider of all-time going fifth overall in the first round in 1989.
- Kieschnick is the first Red Raider to make his MLB debut with the Giants since catcher Trey Lunsford on Sept. 12, 2002 against the Padres... Lunsford was first drafted out of Grayson County College in 1998 while playing for current head coach of the Red Raiders Tim Tadlock... Lunsford's first career at-bat was a single to left field against Trevor Hoffman.

Open For Business--Faith
- -- 來自於: True North Church--Hayden
Welcome to True North Church Live Event
Our theme for this year is "Open For Business." We're exploring what that means for our congregation, our community, and for each of us individually. Today, we explore the "Faith" business.
Scriptural Faith
Hebrews 11:1 NLT
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
More Faith
Hebrews 11:1 NIV
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
What Faith is not...
Faith is not "fervent hope." Faith is confidence; upon that confidence rests our hope. And, that confidence is in the character of God as expressed in the person of Jesus Christ.
Building Faith
The first way to build our faith is to really know Jesus...not just know about him. We do that by spending time with him. While a "quiet time" is good, the better practice is to develop "...an habitual, silent, and secret conversation of the soul with God..." -Brother Lawrence-
The opposite of faith is not doubt, it's fear...
Doubt is created by fear. The primary fear of the Christian is that Jesus won't/can't do what he says he will/can do. It's the ongoing question of the Christian's life and it is what keeps us as believers and followers rather than disciples of Jesus.
A Grand Experiment...
Do you have something in your life you depend on? Are you willing to trade it for the opportunity for Jesus to take care of you? This is your chance to exercise faith! Join in the experiment...
Final poll results from last week
Last week our poll was this: I believe the following statement: Do not resist an evil person--Jesus-- The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun--Wayne LaPierre (NRA) Results are... Jesus--44% Wayne LaPierre--56%
May we pray with you...
Is there something you'd like Jesus to do for you? Is there a praise you'd like to share? We'd love to join you...
Would you like to know more...

I watched a couple of miniutes of the 9ers game today, and it got me to thinking....
Back in 2004, Miami and San Francisco finished with the same record. By virute of their schedule, San Fran got the first pick; Miami was second. They were both in need of new head coaches.
The niners picked up Mike Nolan, drafted Alex Smith at the top, got Frank Gore later, and started letting go of the lesser performers, regardless of how high they were drafted or how much they were paid.
Miami got Nick Saban, drafted Ronnie Brown with the next pick, and, uhhhh, no quarterback in any round, and kept a bunch of stiffs, some of whom are still around.
The Niners are 2-0, and look pretty good as Nolan has the team headed in a good direction.
Miami is 0-1, and facing a tough task this weekend. They have antoher new coach, still don't have a QB (well, maybe they do, but he's not playing yet), and Ronnie Brown isn't half as good as Gore, IMHO.
Talk about going in different directions.

Mobile first, beer next
Deschutes performed extensive market research and it was clear that their customers had one major question: Where can I find Deschutes beer near me, even when I'm on the go? Because of this, from the start, the Deschutes website redesign was a "Mobile-First" project. Designs were created with the mobile user in mind, then adapted upwards to work for tablets and desktop browsers (the reverse of the old line model of taking an existing desktop website and scaling down for mobile).
The end result means that any user can now visit the Deschutes website and experience the full set of functionality: finding local brews, viewing nearby events, reading the blog, watching videos, and so on. By designing for the mobile user first, and optimizing for that experience, we provided a great solution for all users.
Device detected; brews located
We employed device detection to identify different types of devices as they hit the site (different flavors of mobile phones, tablets, and desktop browsers). Based on the device, our system delivers a tailored experience.
Geolocation is used to locate the site visitor (with permission, of course). By integrating various location and beer inventory APIs, we enabled the primary goal for Deschutes: a Brew Finder that shows the user nearby brews, as well as pubs and events in the area.
Retaining beautiful branding on the go
Deschutes also needed to retain their distinctive brand look and feel, while redesigning the site. We believe there's no need to sacrifice branding on mobile, so we created a streamlined look and feel in cooperation with branding agency NORTH. This look adapts to different screen sizes and device capabilities, delivering on the Deschutes brand on every possible device.

To Glaze or Not to Glaze - That is the Question!
Since I've include finishing techniques in my tutorials listed here (Double-sided Textured Beads, Textured Tubes & More, Making Beautiful Buttons), it got me thinking about sharing more in depth on this topic -- what I prefer to use for finishing my pieces and why.
The first question is to glaze or not to glaze?
This all depends on the type of finish you want. A lot of polymer artists prefer their pieces to be natural and unglazed. I prefer that at times myself -- it all depends on the individual piece and the finished look I'm aiming for. You can get a nice sheen by buffing with a soft cloth or towel and you can also get a high shine if you buff with some sort of buffing wheel. If you are aiming for this... your piece needs to have a very smooth finish. This involves sanding your work with different grits of wet/dry sandpaper. I have also found that the smoother your clay is before baking, the less sanding you will have to do afterwards. Some people finish with 1000 grit sandpaper, others go up to 1500 or 2000. I have found that there isn't too much difference in smoothness or shine above 800 grit so it is all a matter of what clay you are working with and your own preference.
Then there is the type of buffing wheels to use. My hubby and I were on a hunt some time ago looking for just the right buffing tool that wouldn't break the bank. Some of our clay colleagues had fabulous buffing machines that were to drool over but we decided to go simply and make more use of the tools like our dremel, we already had. I read up on Desiree McCrory's site about her new buffing pad and so we went on a hunt to find the right fabric to make our own. It is a simple concept but does a beautiful job and leaves a really high sheen! We use a drill press stand so it frees both hands to buff making it easier and safer to use.
To Glaze ..... the How and Why.....
So if you prefer to glaze your pieces, many have asked which one do you use and what works best. This is something that is a little different for everyone but I will share with you what we have learned from our past experiences.
Some polymer clay techniques using inks, mica powders or chalks, require some sort of glaze finish in order to protect them from wearing off. One of the newest type of glazes that polymer clay artists have discovered is the PYM11 (Preserve Your Memories 11). This is amazing stuff and works well as a sealing agent, especially if you are using inks or mica powders. It leaves a soft matte finish so if you prefer your piece to be glossy, you can use PYM11 as a sealer and then coat with Future acrylic afterwards.
PYM11 is only available as an aerosol spray so is a more difficult to use on smaller type beads. It also has a very strong odor so you will want to use this outdoors in the fresh air so you do not breathe in the fumes.
How to Use: Lay your pieces out onto a paper lined tray. Spray your pieces very lightly. Allow to dry (a few minutes) and then turn your tray around so you are spraying from the opposite direction and give a light spray again. Turn your pieces over and repeat for the other side.
Pro: Makes a great sealer when using mica powders, chalks and especially inks.
Con: Only available in an aerosol spray so is a little more difficult to use on smaller type beads.
Type of Finish: soft matte
Diamond Wood Finish by Flecto is the only type of varathane we consider safe to use with your polymer clay. We have tried various other brands (such as Minwax acrylic) and discovered they are not all the same. They would peel and wear off and I'm glad we only experimented with them in a small way first.
The Diamond by Flecto is available in glossy, semi-gloss and satin finishes. It is also available in an aerosol spray which is great for larger type surfaces. In many of our pieces like our animal prints, we prefer to use semi-gloss as it actually gives more of a soft satin gloss look and isn't overly shiny. I fill a small jar to use from instead of using it straight from the can. If it gets a little too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out and it will apply much easier.
How to use: A good quality clean soft paintbrush is the key. If you do not use a good brush or have too much varathane on your brush, it will cause streaks. Apply several very thin coats, allowing to dry thoroughly in between. You might still notice a bit of streaking after the first coat but that will eventually lesson after each application. After your pieces are dry, you can harden your finish a little more by baking your pieces at 200 F for 12-15 minutes. This also helps get rid of any small streaks that might still be showing.
Pro: Dries very quickly between coats and leaves a nice finish.
Con: Not so good on items with a lot of mica powder, chalks or inks as a sealer.
Type of Finish: semi-gloss to satin
The other type of glaze I like to use is Future -- which is now called Pledge with Future. This is our preference when we want our pieces to have a permanent high shine. We especially prefer to use it on pieces that require more wear and tear like pens or mirror compacts. If our pieces have mica powders, inks or chalks applied, we generally spray them first with the PYM11 and then coat with Future to add the shine and add a little more protection.
How to use: You can use a clean soft paintbrush or some people like to use q-tips. Both work great! Apply several thin coats, allowing to dry thoroughly in between. Future takes a little longer to dry so takes a little more patience. I found that if you apply the next coat too soon, it leaves a lot of streaks so I have to wash it off or sand it and start all over so is best to allow to dry completely.
You can also harden your finish more by baking again afterwards at 200 F for 12-15 minutes. This also helps to bring out a little more shine.
Pro: Makes a good hard finish and works well for sealing pieces when using mica powders, chalks, etc. as well as long wearing items such as pens. Also a very pleasant smell.
Con: Very time consuming as several coats need to be applied with lots of drying time between coats.
Type of Finish: glossy to super glossy
Just a note: I had read not to dip your pieces in future but have had several people contact me lately telling me they've had great success with that so I am reviewing that option and will have to experiment for myself with that more.
I hope this helps answer some questions you might have regarding finishing your pieces. Feel free to ask any questions or leave other tips and tricks in the comments here.

What a great article. Right now I'm struggling with a good finish for image transfers and have not yet found an acceptable finish. I tried Kato liquid, Future, resin and all leave bubbles. Still at it though and will one day find a finish I am pleased with.
I was told that the PYM11 works great for that. It is a great product. Just don't spray it on too thick -- several light coats will do.
One comment about using Future. If your item is going to be in a medium to high misture enviroment (think kitchen, bathroom, sweaty skin) it will gradually turn back somewhat opaque as it absorbs water. It will clear again as it drys but it is somewhat disconcerting.
I've never heard about that regarding Future ever as it is used as a hard acrylic on floors and mainly in kitchens and bathrooms. It is extremely water repellent and cannot go "back" to being opaque when it is a clear liquid to start with. (See photo) I have used future on my buttons which have gone through the wash dozens of times and have switchplate covers in both my kitchen and both bathrooms and have never had a problem. One type I know that WILL cause the problems described above is Minwax acrylic which I would totally avoid as it is not totally compatible with the polymer.
Hi! I used Future floor polish, dip all cured clay pieces instead of applying them with soft brush and I just love the result. The shine made my art pieces look more natural.:)
I know others who have done that as well and love it. Thanks for sharing.
I have used these products and for the Flecto I prefer to dip the bead. You just have to catch the drips or the last drop will harden on the bottom of the bead. I've also used embossing powder Ultra Thick Clear to seal and varnish to top of a pendant with powders and such. Works great. Kato liquid is also great when cured with a heat gun. comes out really shiny and no bubbles. At least not a pendant lying flat.

Want to buy an iPad 2 online? You'll have to wait "4-5 weeks" until you actually get one
Launched with much fanfare on March 11 in the US (via both Verizon and AT&T), the iPad 2 seems to be flying off the shelves way faster than Apple can produce it.
While Apple's online store lets users order any iPad 2 model, customers who buy one today will only receive it in 4-5 weeks.
The situation in retail stores may be different, but it's clear that Apple can't keep up with the demand for the new iPad. So in case you want a new tablet but don't particularly care about its OS, you may want to check out what Android 3.0 Honeycomb has to offer.
Starting March 25, the iPad 2 should be also released in other markets around the world, including the UK. That's if Apple won't have to delay international shipments, of course.

From 1378 to 1705, Celle was the residence of the Lüneburg branch of the Guelph dukes, banished from their original ducal seat by emancipated burghers. Celle retains the air of an aristocratic retreat with its well preserved town centre featuring 16C, 17C and 18C half-timbered houses. The town is associated with the lives of three women, the Three Ladies of Celle : Eléonore d'Olbreuse, a beautiful Huguenot from Poitou, her daughter Sophia-Dorothy, and Caroline Matilda of England.

Monday, June 28, 2010
Foodfacts.com is pleased to report that chocolate is not just a tasty treat. Chocolate is actually healthy for you in small quantities. Researchers have spent many years studying this delicious food. These researchers have found that dark chocolate, which is bitterer in taste than milk chocolate or other forms of chocolate, has a number of benefits to health. Dark chocolate, red wine and green tea have all been shown to share many of the same health benefits. Continue reading

Coping With Egg Allergies
Thursday, June 24, 2010
Having an egg allergy doesn't have to be a big thing — all you need to do is skip breakfast, right? Wrong. Eggs are found in more than just omelets (besides, skipping breakfast is never a good idea). Living with an egg allergy means you have to be aware of what you're eating and read food labels carefully. It's work, but it's worth it. Meanwhile, resources like Foodfacts.com are easy to use and can be very beneficial in this regard. Continue reading
Bananas and Yogurt: Good For The Whole Body
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
Looking for a tasty, sustainable, quick breakfast, lunch or snack? Foodfacts.com research indicates that you might want to try bananas and yogurt for a healthy, hearty, nutritionally intense treat.
They're inexpensive, easy to purchase, soft and easy to chew, they ripen after being picked, and they're packed with nutrients. The best part is — they taste fantastic. They're sweet as candy, and they come in their own wrapper. Bananas contain folate, vitamins C and A and magnesium. They help reduce stress levels and increase serotonin levels.
Health perks: Bananas are loaded with potassium (422 milligrams), which is necessary for muscle contractions (including your heartbeat), transmission of nerve impulses and the delicate balance of fluids and electrolyte regulation. Diets rich in potassium blunt the adverse effects of salt and lower blood pressure (one in five Americans have high blood pressure).
In terms of stress relief, the potassium helps to relax muscles. There is a basic balancing act that goes on in the body between sodium and potassium. Sodium creates muscle contraction and potassium relaxes muscle, so together they help transport nutrients to the cells. Additionally, bananas contain tryptophan, a protein that converts to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which helps the body relax and enhances your mood. Bananas are also high in vitamin B6, which, according to research reported in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, helps facilitate the synthesis of serotonin from tryptophan.
One medium banana provides 422 mg of the 4,700 mg per day of potassium that the Institute of Medicine recommends for adults.
Nutritional information: (1 medium) 105 calories; 0.39 g fat; 27 g carbs; 3 g fiber; 1.29 g protein.
It's packed with lean protein (nearly 30 percent of the recommended Daily Value), a strong, sustainable energy source known to help keep you fuller longer. In fact, a recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that eating protein in the morning affects feelings of fullness all day.
Additionally, yogurt has nearly 25 percent to 40 percent of your recommended Daily Value for calcium, which helps build strong bones. Research appearing in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that those who eat a breakfast including calcium are more likely to meet their necessary recommended daily calcium needs. About 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium are needed per day; however, most women do not meet these goals.
Finally, for those who are lactose intolerant, yogurt provides a double benefit: It has probiotic cultures that help digest lactose, and it has less than 50 percent the amount of lactose in milk.
Health perks: There are many reasons why yogurt has a reputation for being a healthy food. It improves digestion, prevents intestinal infection and reinforces your immune function. It's packed with vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, potassium, riboflavin, magnesium and phosphate, and it's low in fat.
Eating yogurt has been linked to lower blood pressure, a reduction in premenstrual syndrome symptoms, lower cholesterol and a reduction in certain kidney stones.
All yogurts are made with a starter culture (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) that aids digestion and has other health benefits, such as improved immune function.
Nutritional information: (Yogurt, plain, skim milk, 1 cup) 137 calories; 0.44 g fat; 18.82 g carbs; 14.04 g protein.

Detroit Historical Society celebrating the city's 313th birthday with special events
(WXYZ) - The Detroit Historical Society is putting on a week's worth of events to celebrate Detroit's 313th birthday.
The celebration will run from Monday through Friday, with the Historical Society featuring extended hours from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The events will include a special film screening each day at 1:00 p.m., as well as family friendly hands-on activities and make-and-take crafts from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
You can find more, including a breakdown of the daily special events on the Detroit Historical Society's website .

Be sure to visit our blog frequently for updates.
By: Sherman Zavits
Below you will find Sherman Zavits' (Official Historian for the City of Niagara Falls and The Niagara Parks Commission) interesting list of what have been the top 10 most significant events or developments that have taken place in the Niagara Region.
This list has been adapted by Sherman from a talk he gave (of the same name) at Brock University. The list is not a ranking, although he has listed them in a roughly chronological order.
1. The Arrival of the Loyalists
Fleeing the American Revolution, the Loyalists became the Niagara Region's first pioneer settlers.
2. The Portage Road
Connecting Queenston and Chippawa, the Portage Road was developed to take freight and passengers around the rapids and falls of the Niagara River. Opened in 1790, it quickly became a very important link in travel to and from the upper Great Lakes. This meant it was of great significance commercially and militarily.
3. The War of 1812
The Niagara Region was the scene of many major battles such as Lundy's Lane, Queenston Heights, Fort George and Chippawa. As a result, there was a great deal of disruption, devastation and hardship. The war was an economic catastrophe for Niagara.
4. The Welland Canal
The canal opened for its first full season in 1830. The founding of a number of new communities along the canal route brought about a dramatic change in the region's population pattern. The canal also resulted in significant economic and population growth for Niagara.
5. The Railways
First arriving in Niagara in the 1850s, the railways have been very important for the region's trade and commerce. The tourism industry at Niagara Falls received a huge boost since it was now much easier and more affordable to reach the famous cataracts.
6. Niagara River Bridges
Niagara's location has made it a vital border crossing point. Canada and the United States have the largest bilateral trade flow in the world and a sizable portion of that trade crosses Niagara River bridges every day. Over the years, many Canadian businesses located in Niagara because of the easy access by road and rail over the Niagara River to the vast and close northeast U.S. market.
7. Tourism
This is a very big industry. Niagara receives the largest volume of domestic and foreign visitors travelling to Ontario. Fifty percent of all tourists to Ontario enter via Niagara. Niagara Falls is one of the most visited places on earth
8. Agriculture
Niagara's agricultural sector creates a $2.4-billion economic spin-off annually. The region is the largest grape-growing area in the country - 75% of domestic wine grapes are grown here. The grape and wine industry is not only an important part of Niagara's agricultural scene but has become a large part of our tourism industry as well.
9. Hydro Electricity
During the first half of the 20th century, electricity transformed North American society. It is a story of great expansion and technological development. An important part of that story took place along the Niagara River as the river's water was harnessed to generate "hydro" electricity.
10. The Queen Elizabeth Way
Canada's first super highway, it was officially opened to traffic on Aug. 23, 1940. At that point, only the section between Toronto and Niagara Falls was finished, with the portion between Niagara Falls and Fort Erie completed later. The road was built to open up Ontario to Americans. It has had a great influence on this area, both geographically and economically.
About Sherman Zavits: Although born in Welland, Sherman Zavitz has spent most of his life in Niagara Falls where he was a teacher for 35 years. He has written a weekly heritage column for the Niagara Falls Review for 18 years and has authored several books on Niagara history. He is the official historian for the City of Niagara Falls and The Niagara Parks Commission.

Nestle Aero Orange
Taste: This version of the Aero bar had a 2x5 grid of very gracefully curved domes, each bearing the Aero logo (complete with bubbles emerging from the O). I bit in to find a fairly light feel thanks to the bubbles embedded into the light orange-colored filling, but the milk chocolate exterior was less light, giving it some amount of bulk, but the overall feel was still quite soft. The taste was nice, with a mild orange flavor that mixed well with the milk chocolate. I'm typically not a big fan of mixing orange with chocolate, but I did like those one quite a bit.
Shop: Buy snacks at Amazon.com
Aroma: Strong chocolate orange smell.
From the package
"feel the bubbles™" ... "Smooth milk chocolate filled with orange flavoured bubbles"
This snack was discovered by Jeremy at Kiki's Kwik-Mart, Brighton, Massachusetts. Review published .


text: I read Fays blog about a week ago that suggested the Reds might be open to dealing Gomes who makes $600,000 this year. My first thought was Jorge Cantu and how the Reds let him walk after the 07 season and the decent numbers he put up in 08. If the Reds want to go the cheap route next season I think Gomes would be a nice compliment much like what Cantu could of been in 08 for us. Anyone else feel the same?

CRCA National Coach of the Year awards
CRCA Lightweight Pocock All-America Team
STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford women's lightweight rowing head coach Al Acosta earned his fifth CRCA National Coach of the Year honor and Cardinal crewmembers Alex Cours, Jordan Duval-Smith and Liz Fenje were all named to the Pocock All-America Team, the organization announced Monday.
For Acosta it is the fourth straight season in which he earned the CRCA's top coaching award, while Fenje was named to the All-America Team for the third straight year and Duval-Smith the second. Cours earned her first All-America honor.
All were part of the Stanford I Eight that captured the IRA National Championship June 2 with a four-second victory. The national title was the program's fourth in a row.
The crew opened the season with a victory at the San Diego Crew Classic in early April and finished second at the WIRA Championships, coming in just under a second back of Gonzaga's openweight boat.
The Cardinal led all schools with three All-America selections, with Harvard and Wisconsin each landing two rowers and Bucknell and Georgetown earning one spot apiece.

For the third year in a row, the Men of Oregon will host UCLA in a classic dual meet Saturday beginning at 11:45 a.m. at Historic Hayward Field. The dual will be televised live from noon to 2 p.m. by OSN on Comcast Sports Net (Comcast 37/737HD).
The Oregon Sports Network will broadcast the UCLA dual meet live from noon to 2 p.m. on Comcast Sports Net in Western Oregon and Washington (Comcast Cable channel 37/737HD). It will also be replayed Saturday at midnight, Sunday at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday at 9 p.m. and May 7 at 11:30 p.m.
The announcers are Joe Giansante, Prefontaine Classic meet director Tom Jordan and Nicole Abeyta (sideline reporter).
Also, the UCLA dual meet will be available live on goducks.com. A subscription to the O-Zone is required to watch the webcast.
For live results, schedules and accepted entry lists, check www.goducks.com. Final results will also be posted on www.GoDucks.com.
The dual meet will be scored using the traditional 5-3-1 point system (5-0 relays), meaning that a total of 163 points are up for grabs; that, in turn, means that the team that reaches 82 points wins. Also, each team is limited to only 34 competitors, though there is no limit to the number of events each competitor may participate in.
Oregon has numerous student-athletes ranked on the national and regional descending order lists. These lists are important because they are the sole basis for selection to the NCAA West Regional May 27-29 in Austin, Texas. The top 48 individuals in each region are eligible for selection (combined events will be the top 24 nationally on the descending order list). See p. 4-5 for the complete list.
For the women, Zoe Buckman continues to lead the nation in the 1,500 meters (4:12.80), while Melissa Gergel is tied for No. 1 in the pole vault (14-3.25) and Brianne Theisen is tops in the heptathlon (5,942). After Buckman, Oregon ranks second (Jordan Hasay/4:14.67), ninth (Anne Kesselring/4:18.80) and 12th (Nicole Blood/4:20.20) in the 1,500. Amber Purvis is third nationally in the 200 meters (23.00w) and 11th nationally in the 100 (11.38w). Claire Michel is fifth nationally in the 3,000 meter steeplechase (10:14.84). Hasay also ranks fifth in the 5,000 (16:16.02), while Blood is 10th at that distance (16:16.20). Theisen also ranks eighth nationally in the high jump (5-10.75). The Ducks 4x100 relay team is seventh in the nation (44.13).
For the men, Ashton Eaton leads the country in the decathlon (8,310), is second in the long jump (25-10.25), third in the 110 hurdles (13.64w) and 14th in the 100 (10.34w). Jordan McNamara is No. 2 nationally in the 5,000 meters, while Matthew Centrowitz (13:47.73) and Michael Maag (13:51.35) are fourth and fifth in the nation. Alex Wolff ranks fourth nationally in the javelin (236-4).

* - Four team meet with Oregon, UCLA, Nebraska and Washington State was scored as dual meets
+ - Pepsi Team Invitational (Oregon, UCLA, Washington) was also scored as dual meets
Just a month into the outdoor season, both Oregon and UCLA have some nationally ranked competitors. Here's where the two teams stand:
100 Meters
One of two events in which Oregon's Ashton Eaton holds the meet's top mark. In the 100, he's 14th nationally at 10.34. Football's LaMichael James could also score.
800 Meters
This could be the feature running event of the dual. UCLA's Corey Primm is No. 3 nationally (1:47.78), followed by Oregon Travis Thompson at No. 48 (1:50.36). That list doesn't include defending NCAA champion Andrew Wheating, Elijah Greer or Matthew Centrowitz of Oregon.
1,500 Meters
Another potential feature race with UCLA's Marlon Patterson at No. 7 (3:42.13) and Oregon's Centrowitz at No. 42 (3:46.29). A pair of Ducks who have yet to run at this distance, Mac Fleet and Wheating, are also entered.
5,000 Meters
Oregon will be deep in the final individual race of the day with No. 4 Centrowitz (13:47.73), No. 5 Michael Maag (13:51.35) and No. 48 Danny Mercado (14:14.23) all among the nation's top 50.
110 Meter Hurdles & 400 Meter Hurdles
Oregon's Eric Hersey is in at No. 46 (14.23), but 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials semifinalist Kevin Craddock of UCLA is potentially a wildcard in both this race and the 400 hurdles.
3,000 Meter Steeplechase
The first running event of the day finds UCLA strong with No. 11 Dylan Knight (8:55.44) and No. 54 Spencer Knight (9:08.56) on the national list.
Pole Vault
The pole vault could very well be the featured field event of the meet. Among the competitors are a pair of Bruins who rank tied for 14th in the nation at 17-5, Casey DiCasare and Johnny Quinn. UCLA also has 2009 NCAA finalist Greg Woepse. Oregon responds with Colin Witter-Tilton, ranked No. 48 at 16-7.25.
Long Jump & Triple Jump
Eaton is ranked second in the nation at 25-10.25, while UCLA counters with No. 50 Nelson Rosario (24-2.25). Taylor Hobson is also one to watch. In last year's dual, Hobson won the high jump (7-1) and place second in the long jump (25-2.5) and triple jump (48-10.75). UCLA also has Jonathan Clark, who was the 2009 Pac-10 runner-up in the triple jump (51-9.25).
Shot Put & Discus
UCLA's Bo Taylor is the top competitor in both events. He ranks 26th nationally in the discus (179-2) and 37th in the shot put (57-0).
Hammer & Javelin
Oregon has the top competitors in the longer throws. Three Ducks are among the top 35 in the javelin, with Alex Wolff at No. 4 (236-4), Britton Nelson at No. 26 (219-8) and Michael Thompson at No. 33 (216-3). Mike Simmons is also slated to make his return in the javelin. Oregon also has the top entrant in the hammer in Jordan Stray. He ranks 12th nationally with a throw of 213-8.
Ashton Eaton won the 100 meters, the long jump and led off Oregon's clinching 4x400 meter relay team as No. 1 Oregon defeated No. 16 UCLA 84-79 in a scintillating dual meet before 5,039 fans last year at Historic Hayward Field.
The Ducks had sweeps in the 5,000 meters, both hurdles and the javelin to counter the Bruins' sweeps in the 200 meters, triple jump, shot put and discus.
All that trading off meant that the teams entered the final event, the men's 4x400 meters, tied at 79-79. Oregon's quartet of Eaton, Marshall Ackley, Travis Thompson and Chad Barlow was neck-and neck with UCLA until the Bruins dropped the baton on the final exchange, and Barlow raced around the final 400 meters, armed extended at the finish line to bring home the victory in 3:12.21.
Eaton won the 100 meters in a personal best 10.49 seconds. He also scored a personal best in the long jump at 25 feet, 8 inches.
David Klech also had a big day with wins in the 110 and 400 meter hurdles. The transfer from UCLA won the 110 hurdles in 14.37 and the 400 hurdles in 50.77. Marshall Ackley ran a personal-best 52.92 in the 400 meter hurdles, while Eric Hersey took second in the 110 hurdles in 14.53. Justin Cross picked up a couple of points for the Ducks with third-place finishes in both events.
Galen Rupp led the Oregon sweep at 5,000 meters, running 13:55.75 in his first outdoor race of the season. Luke Puskedra was second in 14:03.45 and Danny Mercado was third in 14:09.75.
It was also an Oregon sweep in the javelin with Cyrus Hostetler winning with a meet-record throw of 257-2. Alex Wolff took second at 229-10 and Britton Nelson was third at 195-10.
In addition to anchoring the 4x400 meter relay team, Barlow won the 400 meters in a personal-best 46.70. That tied the meet record of 46.7 set by Dacre Bowen in 1976.
Andrew Wheating made his outdoor debut a successful one, running 1:48.78 to win the 800 meters. Thompson finished third in the race in 1:50.09 to earn a point for the Ducks.
Oregon went 1-2 in the 1,500 meters with Shadrack Biwott just nipping Matthew Centrowitz. Biwott clocked 3:47.76 with Centrowitz crossing in 3:47.77.
Senior Chris Winter was a winner in the 3,000 meter steeplechase in 8:57.41.
UCLA won the 4x100 meter relay in 40.39.
The Bruins' Taylor Hobson had an impressive day with a win in the high jump with a clearance of 7-1 and runner-up finishes in the long jump (25-2.5) and triple jump (48-10.75).
The Ducks countered with Vernell Warren's second-place finish in the high jump (6-10.75) and third place mark in the long jump (24-1.75).
Oregon also got points in the hammer from Jordan Stray's second-place finish (201-1) and Steven Johnson's third-place throw (195-10), as well as Colin Witter-Tilton's third-place clearance in the pole vault (16-6.75).
Saturday's meet is a harkening back to the dual meet heritage upon which Oregon track & field was built. Track & Field News used to compile dual meet rankings, and 13 times the Ducks finished among the top three nationally between 1970 and 1995. Additionally, Oregon is one of just seven programs to attain T&F News' No. 1 final dual meet ranking, a feat the University accomplished in 1979, 1989 and 1995.
Oregon's men's and women's teams recorded an impressive sweep at the Pepsi Team Invitational before 5,321 fans on April 10. The women used wins by Amber Purvis in the 100 and 200, Anne Kesselring in the 800, Jordan Hasay in the 5,000, Claire Michel in the steeplechase, Brianne Theisen in the high jump, Jordan Roskelley in the pole vault, Jamesha Youngblood in the long jump and Sara Cole in the hammer to score 212 points. No. 1 Texas A&M was second (179.5) followed by Missouri (141) and No. 13 Washington (129.5). For the men, wins came from Ashton Eaton in the 110 hurdles and long jump, Mac Fleet (800), Matthew Centrowitz (1,500), David Klech and Danny Marconi (high jump) and Jordan Stray (hammer). The men scored 186 points, followed by Texas A&M with 151, Washington with 132, Illinois with 109 and Missouri with 103.
Senior Ashton Eaton set a PR in the decathlon March 31-April 1 at the Texas Relays, scoring 8,310 points. Unfortunately, for the second time in his career, what would have been the school record was nullified by extremely high winds in the 110 hurdles (plus-4.9 meters per second). Regardless, Eaton's score leads the nation and was the fourth highest all-conditions mark in collegiate history. Junior Brianne Theisen won the heptathlon, scoring a wind-aided 5,942 points. Senior Marshall Ackley took seventh in the decathlon with 7,074 points.
Wins by Jordan Hasay (1,500), Alex Wolff (javelin), Melissa Gergel (pole vault), David Klech (high jump) and the women's 4x100 meter relay team highlighted Oregon's performances at the March 26-27 Stanford Invitational. Gergel won the women's pole vault in a jump off, clearing an outdoor best 14-3.25 to edge Stanford's Katerina Stefandi. Hasay ran 4:14.69 to edge Washington star Katie Follett, who finished in 4:15.04, by less than half a second. Hasay's time was just .17 off her personal best, 4:14.50, that she ran as a high schooler at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene. As it was, Hasay's first outdoor race as a Duck ranked fifth all-time on the school's 1,500 career list. Wolff opened his 2010 season with a win in the men's javelin, throwing 229-7 to clip Chris Reno of Brigham Young by two inches. Klech won the high jump with a clearance at 6-10.25, his best height since high school. The team of Mandy White, Amber Purvis, Keshia Baker and Michele Williams won the women's 4x100 meter relay in 44.38. That time was the third-fastest 4x100 relay in school history.
Ten meet records were set, plus an attendance record of nearly 6,000 people, at the season-opening Oregon Preview on March 20 at Hayward Field.
Meet records set by Oregon competitors:
• Women's 4x100 relay (Mandy White, Amber Purvis, Keshia Baker and Jamesha Youngblood), 44.30 – second fastest time in school history

Other UO highlights included Matthew Centrowitz' win in the men's 1,500 meters (3:48.97), senior Michael Maag, making his Oregon debut, was fourth in that race in 3:51.75. Senior Zoe Buckman was second in the women's 1,500 meters in a PR 4:12.80 (No. 4 all-time). Jasmine Kelly set a PR in winning the women's high jump at 5-10. Britton Nelson threw a personal best 219-8 to win the men's javelin. Jordan Stray won the men's hammer with a throw of 209-8, his best distance in two years.
The Women of Oregon won their first NCAA Indoor Track and Field national title, while Ashton Eaton set the world record in the heptathlon to lead the men for a tie for second at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships March 12-13 in Fayetteville, Ark.
Eaton thrilled the Randall Tyson Center crowd by not only winning the heptathlon for the second straight year, but also by scoring 6,499 points to break Dan O'Brien's 17-year-old world and American record (6,474). The women had national champions in the pentathlon by Brianne Theisen and the 4x400 relay team (Jamesha Youngblood, Keshia Baker, Michele Williams, Amber Purvis). Other point scorers for the women included Melissa Gergel – second in the pole vault, Keshia Baker – second in the 400 meters, Jordan Hasay – fourth in the mile, Amber Purvis – fourth in the 200, Nicole Blood – fifth in the 3,000, Anne Kesselring – sixth in the mile, and the second-place distance medley relay team (Kesselring, Williams, Zoe Buckman, Hasay). The Ducks scored 61 points, with Tennessee second with 36.
In addition to Eaton, the men won the distance medley relay on Andrew Wheating's tremendous kick on the mile leg, which was preceded by A.J. Acosta, Chad Barlow and Travis Thompson. Others scoring for the men included Mac Fleet – second in the mile, Wheating – second in the 800, Acosta – fourth in the mile, and the sixth-place 4x400 meter relay team (Matt Butcher, Eaton, Thompson, Barlow). Florida won the men's title with 57 points, while Oregon and Texas A&M were tied at 44.
Senior Ashton Eaton accomplished what's become an extremely rare feat -- breaking a world record as a collegian. He did that March 12-13 in the heptathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark. Eaton bettered Dan O'Brien's 1993 mark by 25 points.
All-time World heptathlon list:
1. 6,499 Ashton Eaton USA 2010
2. 6,476 Dan O'Brien USA 1993
3. 6,438 Roman Sebrle CZE 2004

Oregon led the nation with an astounding 31 All-America certificates earned at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.
The national championship Oregon women's team earned 17 All-America awards, while the runner-up men captured 14. Among those honored was senior Nicole Blood, whose selection in the 3,000 meters was her eighth career All-America certificate, which is tied for the second-most in UO women's history with Kathy Hayes and trails only Leann Warren's 10.
Also earning All-America awards for the women were national champion Brianne Theisen in the pentathlon, as well as members of the national championship 4x400 meter relay team, Keshia Baker, Amber Purvis, Michelle Williams and Jamesha Youngblood.
Other All-Americans were Purvis (60 meters, 200 meters), Baker (400 meters), Jordan Hasay (mile, distance medley relay), Anne Kesselring (mile, distance medley relay), Williams (distance medley relay), Melissa Gergel (pole vault), Zoe Buckman (distance medley relay) and Mattie Bridgmon (5,000 meters).
On the men's side, national champion and new world record holder for the heptathlon Ashton Eaton led the way. Eaton was also honored for the 4x400 meter relay team. The members of the national champion distance medley relay team, A.J. Acosta, Chad Barlow, Travis Thompson and Anderw Wheating made the list, as did Mac Fleet (mile), Wheating (800 meters), Acosta (mile), Barlow (4x400 meter relay), Matt Butcher (4x400 meter relay), Thompson (4x400 meter relay), Elijah Greer (800 meters) and Luke Puskedra (5,000 meters).
Vin Lananna and Robert Johnson were recognized honored by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) as recipients of National Women's Coach and Assistant Coach of the Year, respectively, for the 2010 indoor track & field season in Division I.
Lananna, in his fifth year as Oregon's Associate Athletic Director for track & field, helped the Ducks capture their first NCAA women's indoor crown in school history. Oregon claimed 61 points in the meet, 25 more than nearest competitor Tennessee. The margin of victory was the largest in NCAA Indoor Championship history since Texas scored 60 points to top the 30 managed by runner-up Louisiana State in 1998. In February, Oregon also claimed its first MPSF Championship.
Johnson is in his fifth year as an assistant coach at Oregon and concentrates his coaching on sprints, hurdles and horizontal jumps. Winning this award for the second-straight year, Johnson's athletes contributed 23 team points to the Ducks' first-ever capture of the NCAA team title. Oregon's 4x400-meter relay of Jamesha Youngblood, Keshia Baker, Michele Williams, and Amber Purvis won an NCAA crown for the first time, clocking a school-record 3:32.97. In addition, Baker would finish second in the 400 meters at the national meet in 51.63 and Purvis, just a sophomore, took fourth place in the 200 (23.21).
The 2010 Women's Indoor Track & Field title was the 17th national championship in school history. The others are men's outdoor track & field in 1962, 1964, 1965, 1970 and 1984, women's outdoor track & field in 1985, men's indoor track & field in 2009, men's cross country in 1971, 1973, 1974, 1977, 2007 and 2008, women's cross country in 1983 and 1987, and men's basketball in 1939. The championship was the first for an Oregon women's program since cross country's win in 1987, and the fourth women's title overall.
Oregon has won five of the last seven Pac-10 titles in men's track and field, including three in a row. The Ducks have conference men's track and field titles in 1923, 1934, 1965, 1967, 1978, 1979, 1986, 1990, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009. On the women's side, Oregon's Pac-10 crowns came in 1991, 1992 and 2009.
For the fourth year in a row, the Starting Block will take place prior to every home meet and is geared to get kids moving and staying active. The concept features a high-energy, dynamic space for youth designed for fun and interactive activities that offers youth a chance to practice their athletic skills and learn more about the sport.
Fifteen high school stars, including the national boys leader in the javelin, Sam Crouser, and the 2009 Pan American Junior Games girl's champion at 5,000 meters, Sarah Andrews, have signed National Letters of Intent to join the Oregon's track and field teams next season.
The seven men are throwers Crouser of Gresham, Ore., and Jacob Budwig of Fowler, Calif., decathlon state record-holder Dakotah Keys of Sweet Home, Ore., distance runners Parker Stinson of Austin, Texas, and Colby Alexander from Strongsville, Ohio, and middle distance standouts Cole Watson of Rogue River, Ore., and Brian Shrader of Flagstaff, Ariz.
Among the eight women are two New Yorkers in Phyllis Francis (Laurelton) and Megan Patrignelli (Monroe) and three Californians, Lauryn Newson (Richmond), Chizoba Okodogbe (Antioch) and Kortney Ross (San Diego). The class is rounded out by Andrews from The Woodlands, Texas, English Gardner of Voorhees, N.J., and Laura Roesler from Fargo, N.D.

" I have a proposition for you. I'll tell you all about the first balanced armature MEElectronics has made if you agree to think about buying them. Deal? Deal. The A151 is MEElectronics' first balanced armature IEM, and I must say, it's a valiant first try indeed in a market saturated with <$100 IEM's, and we all know MEE's specialty is dynamic IEM's right? So are these..." --Ishcabible

MEElectronics CW31 Wooden In-Ear Headphones for iPod, iPhone, MP3/CD/DVD Players (Wood)
" I used to own MEElecs. George Carlin said that he never was fine and dandy in same moment. I was. Now, I am sad to say that I was so careless to lose them in worst possible scenario. They were not in their pouch, in my backpack, but alone. In my pants pocket. With foolish illusion of safety.

MEElectronics SP51-BK Sound Preference In-Ear Headphone with Sound Tuning for iPod, iPhone, MP3/CD/DVD Players (Black)
"I had this earphones for 2 years and I must say, that I was really satisfied with it. With the possibility to change bass you can choose what really fits you and I must say, that the bass was really nice, clear and deep (I used the middle one).

Aurisonics ASG-2
" Introduction The ASG-2 is Aurisonics' second (official) foray into the world of iems.

" Introduction First, allow me to thank the great folks at MEElectronics for sending me a sample of the newly released M11P+ IEMs for review. Prior to sometime in early February, I wasn't aware that MEElectronics existed. It wasn't until I came across a review of their M9 IEMs on Head-Fi that I decided to check them out and the rest is history. MEElectronics IEMs have been some..." --TheGame21x
Aurisonics ASG-1 Rev 1.3
" I quite literally took a shot with these after the NY Meet. It was between these and the UE900s and I'm rather content with the decision, from the cable to the build, to the fit. Everything works. These are clearly stage monitors tuned so you can ear voices clearly and exact positioning of instruments. Because of this they have a great and slightly forward midrange. However for what they do..." --kyuuketsuki
MEElectronics A161 In-Ear Noise-Canceling Headphones with Balanced Armature Technology
" Note: this is more of an impression-style review, since I ultimately did not keep this set. I listened to it intensively, however, and feel confident enough to put together a few thoughts.

MEElectronics RX12 In-Ear Headphones - Red
" Packaging – Being one of MEElec's lower end models, it only comes with SML tips in a cheap "off the rack" plastic packaging.

At Fayette, we now have two Wireless Networks available.
- The Fayette Wireless (available since August 2004)
This allows anyone with a Fayette Windows Domain account full Internet access. All Fayette Students, Faculty and Staff are assigned a Fayette Windows Domain account.
- The PSU ITS Wireless SecureNet (available as of February 6, 2006)
This wireless network provides access to anyone with a PSU Access Account. This is especially important for folks from other PSU locations that are visiting at Fayette and would need wireless access. We finally have you covered!
Some quick notes on how to get prepared to use the wireless networks:
- Determine WHICH wireless network you wish to use:
- Fayette's Wireless:
- Have your Campus Windows Domain ID/Password
- Have an 802.11 a/b/g compatible laptop or PDA.
- Have VPN software installed on your system. Most all Windows varieties (98/Me/2000/XP) already have the basic VPN tools installed. Win 98 users may need some additional updates. We've had some reports that Win98 systems may not be able to connect. If you're having trouble, please stop by our office with your system and we'll double check.
- Once you have the software and hardware running, use your wireless card utility program to scan and find our networks (SSID's). They are Fayette Wireless 802.11a and Fayette Wireless 802.11bg depending on the network card you have.
- If all that's ready to go, just CREATE a new VPN connection to:
vpnbox.win2k.fe.psu.edu and when you login, use your Windows Domain ID/Password
Directions For Setting up a VPN Connection For:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Mac OS X
- Directions for Mapping to your H Drive:
Windows XP
- Have your Campus Windows Domain ID/Password
- PSU Wireless SecureNet
- Have your PSU Access Account ID/Password
- You MUST have the PSU Cisco VPN Client Software installed on your system. It can be downloaded from downloads.its.psu.edu, it is listed under Connecting to Penn State, VPN - Virtual Private Network. Please download and install the correct version for your PC's Operating System. You may stop in the Network Services office to load this software if you're already on campus.
- Using your system's wireless card utility, please scan for available networks, and select the pennstate SSID.
- After you connect, allow the wireless card to receive an IP address, then load the Cisco VPN Client. Select the listing for ITS Wireless at Fayette, then click on the Connect icon. You'll be asked for your Access ID & Password. After a few moments, you're ready to go!
More information is located on the PSU ITS Wireless SecureNet website.
- Have your PSU Access Account ID/Password
- Fayette's Wireless:
Issues to keep in mind when making a Wireless Network selection...
- IF you have a Dual-Band Wireless device, using 802.11a and 802.11g, PLEASE attempt to connect to the 802.11a band! The 'a' band has a higher system density (more folks can connect) and it's less suspect to interference. If you're not sure, just stop by, and we'll tell you what you have.
- Folks that have Fayette Doamin accounts should use the Fayette Wireless Network. It provides easier access to campus netowrk resources, such at your H: drive space.
- PLEASE remember, that you are bound to abide by University Access and Security Policies, and any infringement of the policies may cause your account to be revoked.

All five figures form the mighty Warbotron! Towering above other combiner figures, each figure individually transforms and can combine to form the mighty Warbotron! Each figure sold separately.
Warbotron informs us that our shipment of Air Burst has had the QC issues of the earlier release fixed & does not require the "repair kit"!
"Best Blastoff ever!!!"
I love the Combaticons! They are my TOP favorite combiner and Blastoff is my TOP favorite of the team. He is also my 2nd favorite Decepticon right behind Skywarp. Thanks to TFC Toys for making another customer very happy!
After the Add On kit for Bruticus(ROF) I dint expect anything to top it.
When I saw this guy here I saw how he fits with the Masterpiece line(such as Sideswipe).
In vehicle mode is just perfect and in robot mode it looks just awesome, the movement on arms and legs is prety solid and the arm!
Personly I cant wait to have all the other 4 to cimbine and get the final and awesome result I was looking for!
"NOT pleased"
Just opened the box and tried to transform to shuttle mode. Cannot fold arms back on one side completely like the other, so it sticks out and cannot finish the transformation. Checked both sides and one is slightly pushed back vs. the other. NOT happy. I expect better quality control for a figure of this cost. UNHAPPY.
This is the first warbotron piece i bought. I'm blown away the box was awesome and the prize inside was even better. He looks cool transforms great. If this is their first bot then they will only get better. I WILL HAVE THEM ALL.
A mint box generally has no noticeable flaws. This doesn't mean it is a C10 box, but that it doesn't have any significant damage to the box. It still may have wear to the window, and a small amount of wear to the box that is noticeable upon close inspection.
A C9 box is still considered very displayable and may have a kink, ding, minor fray to an edge, etc. The box is still case fresh and unopened with factory sealed tape on both sides.
By selecting this option, ToySource allows you to continue to add either instock or preorder items to your stack, as well as change how your orders ship out, which can save you on shipping!

A lot has been written about Kristen Stewart cheating on Robert Pattinson with Rupert Sanders in the past couple of days, and Gossip Cop has been talking to sources and thoroughly investigating non-stop.
One giant misconception needs to be corrected right away.
As Stewart stated in her apology, she had a "momentary indiscretion."
She passionately kissed Sanders, "a mistake" for which a source close to her tells Gossip Cop she truly "feels awful."
But that's essentially the extent of it.
Reports of Stewart and Sanders having a long, full-on "affair" or implying that it was in any way, shape or form sexual are NOT TRUE.
Stewart and the Snow White and the Huntsman director recently kissed passionately, but they NEVER HAD SEX.
A lot of rumors will continue to come out over the next few days – and even more photos of them kissing last week – but it's important to stick to the facts about what actually happened between Stewart and Sanders.

My teeth had been chattering for 36 hours; my summit expectations had been blown away. All that work, I thought: All those steep moves I'd aided, because it was too cold to put on climbing shoes, how Mikey defied death in an icy offwidth, and Dana led endless pitches of névé. Was it really time to give up on the summit?
After climbing the California Route in icy, slow conditions, Mikey Schaefer, Dana Drummond and I stopped to sleep for a few hours just 80 meters below the summit of Fitz Roy. It was 1 a.m., a clear night with low winds and the moon illuminating the clouds over the icecap to the east. We were exhausted on this, our second day, and we were at the top of the snow ridge with the summit boulders looming close and frosty in the light from our headlamps.
Crammed in one sleeping bag, the three of us lay on our sides shivering in unison. I tried to pad my boney hips with my rain jacket and, in a moment of brilliance, took off a mitten to insulate the other hip which was exposed to the wind. I was fatigued, and anxious about the cold and lack of food. Finally, I fell asleep.
At 4 a.m. it began to blow, hard. I ignored it, closed my eyes, and pretended it wasn't happening. But by first light, the snow had begun to swirl into the sleeping bag. Gusts came from every direction, loud with crazed howling. I pulled my jacket out, tucked one end under a shoulder, and looped the other end over my head. Then, by clamping both the sleeping bag and jacket with my fist, I invented the alpine umbrella. It was a great solution – until I fell asleep. I lost my grip and my umbrella flapped wildly in the wind, waking me.
While thinking about climbing the icy summit boulders in blow-you-offthe-mountain wind, I shared my umbrella with the shivering Dana. Every two minutes I had to switch hands to relieve the cramping. The wind had become outrageous, pressing us down against the snow. The summit boulders, so close just hours ago, were disappearing into the fog. My thoughts whipped with the wind: I wanted to go up, I wanted to stay in the sleeping bag. Go up? Go down? Finally, I mentioned summiting: "The top is so close; maybe we should go?"
The boys never gave me an answer. I thought of my father's rational words of advice before I left: "I know you push it up there, Kate. When the shit hits the fan, make sure you attend to the fundamentals: food, water, shelter. Be safe."
So when our single sleeping bag billowed like a parachute and my umbrella failed, I began to re-evaluate. My face was swollen from the wind, and my core ached from shivering. The wind had taken away our shelter, our ability to melt water, and between us we had six energy bars left. As I ate one, I took a peek at the summit. It was gone. That was when I felt scared. The fundamentals that keep us alive had vanished, and we were running out of food. The fog had taken away our intuitive compass; all of a sudden we were no longer burly super alpinists, but kids lost in a cloud.
I put my rain jacket on, allowing my imaginary umbrella to fly away. Shivering hard in the piercing cold, I also let go of my summit expectations. We had a new purpose: a 12-hour descent to onsight. We packed the sleeping bag, put on icy boots and frozen harnesses. The wind tore at the ropes as we coiled them. Then, with the ice-rimed rack and ropes, we began rappelling into the blowing foggy unknown. We had 25 pitches plastered with ice to rappel. Before I descended, I looked again toward the summit. I was relieved to be going, but I knew I would have to come back.

I was going to say something snarky about Grandpa George, but you know what? He'll probably make a pretty fantastic grandfather. Throw a kid on the knee, have a nice afternoon.
"I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay," Bush Hager told People magazine last year. "My dad saw my husband's boss at a conference, and he said to stop paying my husband until we produce children."

You posted a photo for the Union Burial Ground Society Cemetery (Defunct)in Philadelphia. In the description you mention the cemetery at 10th & Washington.
I just found a relative buried at the 10th & Washington cemetery, do you know what became of that? I do not see a listing for it on findagrave.

Cuthbert Burials Kensington Burial Ground
Are you descended from John and Lydia Cuthbert? I have information about Lydia Matthews Cuthbert's ancestors, had been trying to find what happened to her when I found records you contributed by accident.

Swiss Gravesites
I am just wondering how you find out what grave sites your ancestor would have been buried in Switzerland? I have many death records but they don't state where the burial took place. Thought you could help me learn this. My email address is Scarr @ Westliberty.edu (no spaces). Thanks for your help!

Zimmerman continued...
Did Christian and Christiana die in Philly and do you know where buried perhaps? Yes I too have encountered many brothers marrying sisters etc. and if one dies young they sometimes marry another sister too.

Hello, thanks for reply. Yes difficult when also spelled Zimmermann. I love 'reuniting' family members on here, even if I am not related. Wish I knew where some of their other children are buried, could have them linked. thanks

RE: Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg
For instance, without doing much more than the necessary cutting, your bio could look like:
British colonial administrator. Born at Galt, Ontario, Canada, the eldest son of Frederick Guggisberg and his wife, Dora Louisa Willson. After the premature death of his father in 1873, his mother moved with her sons to Portsea, Hamshire, England. He was educated at Burney's School, near Portsmouth. In 1887, he enrolled at the Royal Military Academy of Woolwich graduating in 1889. The same year he received his commission as a lieutenant with the Royal Engineers. In 1897, was appointed as an instructor in fortification at Woolwich Military Academy. In 1900 he published his first book "The Shop: The Story of the Royal Military Academy", followed in 1903 by "Modern Warfare" under the pseudonym "Ubique". In 1902 he was employed under the Colonial Office on a special survey of the Gold Coast Colony and Ashanti, and in 1905 was appointed director of surveys in that colony. He was created Commander of Saint Michael and Saint George (C.M.G.) in 1908. In 1910 was appointed director of surveys in Southern Nigeria. Upon the unification of Southern and Northern Nigeria in 1913, he was appointed surveyor-general of Nigeria. In 1914 he was appointed director of public works on the Gold Coast, but on the outbreak of the European War rejoined the army, and commanded the 94th field company, Royal Engineers, from 1915 to 1916; he was in command of the Royal Engineers in the 8th division during the battle of the Somme, and in the 66th division from November 1916. He was brigadier-general commanding the 170th infantry brigade 1917 to 1918, assistant-inspector-general of training, general headquarters, France, in 1918; and in command of the 100th infantry brigade in 1918. The French government made him a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1917. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (D.S.O.). In 1919 he was appointed governor and commander-in-chief of the Gold Coast. In l928, he was appointed governor and commander-in-chief of British Guiana, but owing to failing health he left the colony in 1929, and soon afterwards resigned the appointment. He died at Bexhill-on-Sea at age 61.
And you could fine tune it further. Good luck.
