Marcus Easley breathed a sigh of relief more than two years in the making this week when learning he had been promoted to the Buffalo Bills' 53-man roster.
"It's been a long road for me and I'm just grateful for this opportunity," Easley said. "It's definitely been a struggle, but on the practice squad I tried to carry the mentality of 'get better.' You're still being evaluated, so I tried to take advantage of that every day."
With receiver Stevie Johnson missing practice Wednesday because of a thigh bruise, promoting Easley is also a bit of an insurance policy for the Bills. But coach Chan Gailey made it clear it's more about the job Easley has done.
"He's played extremely well on the scout team. He deserves an opportunity to come up and see what he might be able to do. I don't know if he'll get active soon or not, but we'd like to give him a chance to have that opportunity at some point," the coach said. "We'll see how it goes and how he practices and we'll let him get some reps and go from there."
Easley's story is well known to Bills fans. The former fourth-round draft pick in 2010 out of Connecticut missed the past two seasons on injured reserve because of a knee injury and heart ailment, respectively. He was cut by the Bills at the end of the preseason this year, but signed to the practice squad a day later.
"It was huge," Easley said of his time on the development squad. "It was tremendous for me, because I really haven't played too much football in the last two years. Just being able to come out here and practice, kind of figure out what a season's like in taking care of your body, definitely helps. It helped me get back into playing shape."
Easley, 25, weighs 217 pounds. He says his time on the practice squad has helped him get back a lot of his speed and explosiveness.
"I like to use my size and speed to my advantage. Hopefully, we can stretch the field a little bit when my opportunity does come," he said.
The next step for Easley is being active Sunday. Gailey indicated that's unlikely to happen in New England, but Easley's at least one step closer. One thing working in his favor is his special teams acumen. Easley played on both the kick and punt coverage units in the preseason.
"Wherever I can fit in or wherever I can help this team out, I'm sure the coaches will put me in that position," he said.
You watch him on the scout team every day and the stuff that he's done, he's really made some plays and runs hard every play," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. "It's good to see. I think we're all happy for him because it's been a long time coming for him with all of the injuries he's had."
The ongoing saga that is the Mario Williams wrist injury took another turn Wednesday when the defensive end said he in fact did suffer a "slight" tear of a ligament in his left wrist.
This came two days after Gailey dismissed an ESPN report saying that Williams had played the first seven games of the season with such an injury.
Asked specifically whether a ligament was torn, Williams said: "As far as I know. I don't really know all the lingo. I just wanted to get it done, whatever needed to be done. I don't know as far as exact terminology of it being torn. I've heard that myself, but I just know something was wrong.
Williams was then asked what Dr. Thomas Hunt, who performed the surgery, told him: "He said there was a slight tear or whatever. I don't know the severity of it. But, obviously, it was something that caused me not being able to use it. You'd have to ask for the exact verbiage from the training staff."
The Bills have denied a Buffalo News request to speak with team trainer Bud Carpenter regarding the injury, citing team policy.
The Bills filled out their 53-man roster by signing offensive tackle Thomas Welch and cornerback Crezdon Butler.
Welch was released by Philadelphia prior to the season. The 6-foot-7, 310-pounder out of Vanderbilt was a seventh-round draft choice of New England in 2010. He played five games with St. Louis in 2011 and another three with the Patriots, making one career start.
Butler was signed off the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad. He's spent time on the 53-man rosters of the Cardinals and Redskins this season. The 6-1, 191-pounder was a former teammate of Bills C.J. Spiller and Chris Hairston at Clemson.
"Buddy's [Bills GM Nix] always liked him. He's a guy that we looked at a few weeks ago when Arizona let him go. We were trying to get him at that time but it didn't work out. And now it worked out that we had a spot and we were able to get him," Gailey said of Butler.

A radical is a person subscribing to a political ideology supporting massive, unmeasured, and rapid change. Radicalism is contrasted with conservatism that advocate minimum change, reactionary action advocating counter-change, as well as progressivism advocating moderate/measured change.
A radical would want to chang, for example, a feudal system into a completely capitalist system, or a completely capitalist system into a communist one. Another exaple of radicalism would be a person who wanted to change an Islamic Theocracy into an Atheist state (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/state_atheism)!

Radical (rahd eek al) is a word used proficiently and often by Michaelangelo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He is the only one on earth that truly knows its awesomeness, although such scholars as William Preston-Esquire and Theordore Theordore Logan have come close to unveiling the true natures of such speak. The best reason for dividing radical is to make more mini-radicals influence from the beinning radical, in hopes of creating a little radical for everyone. And pizza.

With the Buffalo Sabres wallowing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, no one in the organization is above scrutiny, team president Ted Black insisted Friday during an interview at The Buffalo News.
Speaking with News sports columnist Bucky Gleason on "The Bucky & Sully Show" at Buffalo-news.com, Black said both he and owner Terry Pegula are showing patience but would not pinpoint if the team needs a roster shake-up or a change at the top. General Manager Darcy Regier and coach Lindy Ruff are both in their 16th year and coming under increasing fire from fans and media.
"It's probably a little bit of everything in terms of everyone needing to do their jobs better," Black said. "I think Steve Ott said after the last game, 'We need to look in the mirror.' I don't need to put that on the players. I think all of us need to do that. Good is not good enough. Darcy has had some very good moves that we've looked at and said, 'Boy that's a great move.' On ice, it hasn't translated. When we win, everything is going to look very easy. ... But when you're losing, no one escapes scrutiny."
Regier received a contract extension from Pegula that was announced last month on the day before the season opener. The deal has received growing derision from fans and media in the wake of the team's troubles.
"The extension that Darcy got is more of an affirmation that we trust the job he's doing right now," Black said. "It's not in perpetuity. It's not a perpetual contract. It's more of a 'We want you to continue to work hard at your job without something being a distraction to you for one, and for two, to show we have our full faith in you to do your job. Go out and do it as best as you possibly can.' "
Black said Regier has Pegula's backing to change the roster.
"The paradigm has shifted," Black said. "If there's an opportunity to improve our team with a player transaction, Darcy has free reign to do that. It takes two to tango. I really wish we could pull back the curtain and let everyone know the types of transactions we're trying to make. ... That shouldn't be mistaken for a lack of will or a lack of effort."
Black would not directly respond to a question about the possibility of replacing Ruff.
"I support our coach," Black said before admitting "everyone has one" when asked if there's a breaking point. "But at what point do you give up on Joe Smith the player? I believe that should not be a public answer."
Black said the organizational mandate is to make the playoffs every year, something the team has failed to do in six of the last 10 years.
"Looking forward and saying, 'We're going to miss the playoffs so many times in the next 10 years' makes me want to vomit," Black said. "Our goal needs to be we make the playoffs every year.
"Darcy is encouraged to make mistakes. If [injured winger] Ville Leino turns out to be a mistake, no one's head is going to get chopped off for it. ... We'll say, 'Try harder, reach higher.' That is a winning culture."
The Bucky & Sully Show airs at 10 a.m. every Friday at Buffalonews.com. The video archive of Friday's 18-minute session with Black is available at the website on the Sabres Edge blog.

From pilfering hotel shampoo bottles to using single squares of toilet paper at a time, we've all heard some pretty interesting, creative, and sometimes slightly unhinged ways to save money these days. At The Daily Green, handmade paper is considered one of many ways to re-localize the economy and go green.
They recently featured a piece on Adina Levin, the co-founder of Collab. Collab is short for collaborators, and is a Manhattan based company that plans on re-localizing the economy through helping designers, writers, artists, musicians and other creative people collaborate together to form a more sustainable world.
By enabling these innovative minds with the tools and space that they need to collaborate together, Collab hopes to get them inspired and working together, which will hopefully yield environmentally-friendly products and processes to help create localized economy.
One sustainable practice that Levin advocates–and is knowledgeable in–is making homemade paper. Levin uses a very similar process to the one posted here at Paper Making. She also promotes a messy, hands-on approach, often touching the paper pulp and getting very involved in the process. Her video and instructions are perfect for anyone who isn't afraid to get messy and produce some truly amazing results.
Would using handmade paper really support a more local economy and a sustainable world in general? In a word, probably. By using 50% less energy and 75% less water–as well as creating up to 90% less wastewater and 70% less air pollution–than paper made from unused fibers, it definitely has less of an environmental impact.

Is the Fourth Amendment Relevant in a Technological Age?
Christopher Slobogin
Vanderbilt University - Law School
January 4, 2011
Vanderbilt Public Law Research Paper No. 10-64
Vanderbilt Law and Economics Research Paper No. 10-56
This work will be a chapter in a forthcoming book in The Future of the Constitution series, edited by Jeffrey Rosen and Benjamin Wittes and published by the Brookings Institute. Over the past 200 years, the Fourth Amendment's guarantees have been construed largely in the context of what might be called "physical searches" - entry into a house or car; a stop and frisk of a person on the street; or rifling through a person's private papers. But today, with the introduction of devices that can see through walls and clothes, monitor public thoroughfares twenty-four hours a day, and access millions of records in seconds, police are relying much more heavily on what might be called "virtual searches," investigative techniques that do not require physical access to premises, people, papers or effects and that can often be carried out covertly from far away. The Supreme Court's current Fourth Amendment jurisprudence - specifically, its "knowing exposure," "general public use," "contraband-specific," "assumption of risk" and "special needs" doctrines - has both failed to anticipate this development and continued to ignore it. This article describes this jurisprudence and how it can foster law enforcement abuse, mission creep, mistaken seizures and physical searches, and an oppressive atmosphere even for the innocent. It then outlines a more technologically-sensitive Fourth Amendment framework.

Does your organization use a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site? Do you use document libraries on that site to share files? If so, you should learn how to use workflows. Workflows are automated processes that route documents for various types of review. This course, the first in a series, will introduce you to the basics.
About the course
This course includes:
A Quick Reference Card you can take away from the course.
After completing this course you will be able to:
See how valuable a workflow can be to you and your coworkers.
Get workflow basics down: how to start one, how people participate, and so on.
Start the Approval workflow, which lets you submit a file to others for their approval.
Before you begin
You should be able to add, edit, and check out files on a SharePoint library. Or, you should take SharePoint document libraries I: Introduction to sharing files and SharePoint document libraries II: All about checkout.

Package imports are nothing more than a directory of imports. It turns a path on your computer into another namepsace, with attributes corresponding to the subdirectories and module files that the directory contains.
- Code: Select all
import dir1.dir2.mod
from dir1.dir2.mod import Klass
Here a directory named dir1, with a subdirectory named dir2, which in that has a module named mod.py (and the from statement indicates that mod.py has a Class named Klass, of which it imports). This indicates the directory structure in windows:
The directory dir0 needs to be added to your module's search path (unless it's home directory of the top-level file).
You cannot use platform-specific path syntax, but only dotted (.) seporators. In Python 2.x, Each directory named within the path of a package import statement must contain a file named __init__.py, or your package import will fail. For example, dir1 and dir2 must both contain a file named __init__.py, the container dir0 does not because its not listed in the import statement. The structure would look like this:
- Code: Select all
These __init__.py files can contain code, but they can be completely emtpy. These serve to prevent directories with common names from unintentionally hiding true modules that appear later on the module search path. Without this safe guard, python might pick a directory that has nothing to do with your code. The first time python imports through a directory, it automatically runs all the code in the directory's __init__.py file. These files are a place to put code to initialize the state required by files in a package.
The __init__.py file is not required in Python3.x. Only Python2.x
Relative Imports
in Python 2.7 > and 3.x, you can use leading dots (.) to specify that they require modules located within the same package. This feature applies to only the from statement and only applies to imports within it's package.
in Python 2.6 < to apply this feature requires:
- Code: Select all
from __future__ import absolute_import
- Code: Select all
from . import mod
means import a module named mod located in the same package directory as the file in which this statement appears
- Code: Select all
from .mod import Klass
means from a module named mod located in the same package as the file that contains this statement, import the class Klass. This is a package import.
An import wihtout a leading dot always causes Python to skip the relative components of the module import search path and look instead in the absolute directories that sys.path contains.
- Code: Select all
from .. import mod
equivalent to ../mod.py so to speak, from parent directory import module named mod
Mixed Usage __name__ and '__main__'
This is a trick to let you both import a file as a module and run it as a standalone program. Each module has a built-in attribute called __name__ which python sets as:
If the file is being run as a top-level program file, __name__ is set to the string "__main__" when it starts
If the the file is being imported instead, __name__ is set to the module's name as known by it's clients
It basically tests its own __name__ to see if it is being imported or ran.
The syntax:
- Code: Select all
if __name__ == '__main__':
#put code here
Code in the if block will only execute if this file is being ran, not when this file is being imported. More examples can be found here
Importing by string
Sometimes you will need to get the name of the module to be imported as a string, in which case, you cannot:
- Code: Select all
>>> import 'sys'
File "<stdin>", line 1
import 'sys'
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
or you cannot:
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'sys'
>>> import s
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 's'
Python expects a varaible name for the first one and python atttmpts to import s.py on the second one. To account for this you can use the special tool to load a module dynamically from a string that is generated at runtime exec(). exec() compiles a string of code and passes it to python interpreter to be executed.
- Code: Select all
>>> name = 'sys'
>>> exec('import {}'.format(name))
>>> sys
<module 'sys' (built-in)>
The other method is to use the built-in __import__ function, in which it returns the modules object
- Code: Select all
>>> sys = __import__('sys')
>>> sys
<module 'sys' (built-in)>
Naming your modules
You can name your modules anything you want. Howver if you name your modules the same name as modules in the standard library. You will then importing your module and not the standard library's module. For example if i name a module ipaddress, os, sys, etc. Then by import os, or whatever, etc. I am importing my module instead of the standards library. Rename your module to something not in the standard library.
You can get a list of modules with
- Code: Select all
>>> help('modules')

A manhunt was on for a man who fled from a car crash early Thursday in the Town of Hanover that killed his passenger, the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office reported.
The car was westbound on Routes 5 and 20 at about 3 a.m., turned onto the split on Route 5 and went out of control before slamming into a concrete abutment in a roadside ditch, according to the sheriff's office.
The car was "destroyed," said Sheriff Joseph Gerace.
The passenger, Jeremy M. Long, 22, of Silver Creek, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspected driver, Jeremiah S. Burgess, 22, also of Silver Creek, is believed to have fled on foot and has not been located.
The men were friends and co-workers and were believed to have been out together at a bar before the crash, Gerace said.
Anyone with information about Burgess' whereabouts or the accident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 753-2131.

The Kaiser Permanente Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH) and the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) received a two-year $24.8 million NIH grant to create a new resource for studying disease, health, and aging. A significant portion of this money is expected to be used to purchase Affymetrix' Axiom Genotyping Solution.The aim is to perform genome-wide analyses of DNA samples from 100,000 Kaiser Permanente members. The Axiom technology reportedly delivers high-throughput automation and enables the discovery of genetic variations associated with complex disease. The members have volunteered for a large-scale research program designed to create a new resource for studying disease, health, and aging. DNA studies will be linked to Kaiser Permanente's electronic health record system. Information from health surveys and environmental data will also be analyzed. These resources are expected to give researchers an entirely new platform for studying genetic and environmental influences over time on a wide variety of health conditions, across diverse populations. The Kaiser Permanente RPGEH is designed to facilitate epidemiologic studies of both genetic and environmental influences on common health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, asthma, mental health disorders, and many others. The Axiom Solution is configured to continually validate and incorporate the output of large-scale sequencing projects. Initial offerings are designed from public databases of human variations and cover historical HapMap data supplemented by subsequent releases of additional variants. In addition, Affymetrix is screening millions of putative SNPs and insertions/deletions that are being discovered by the 1000 Genomes Project and other sources and will make these available to researchers using the Axiom Solution. The solution consists of Axiom Array Plates, complete Axiom Reagent Kits, an automated target preparation station developed jointly by Affymetrix and Beckman Coulter, plus the GeneTitan™ Multi-Channel (MC) Instrument. The GeneTitan MC Instrument integrates a hybridization oven, fluidics processing, CCD imaging device, and analysis software for maximum data reproducibility, user productivity, and scalability.

Haters are so pressed and in for so much disappointment next season.
Oh hanca, you should know by now that it is pointless to argue with sky_fly...
I really hope Liza kicks some major booty next season.
Julia and Adelina has 200+ scores
Anna in 197+
Elena in 194+
Tuk's PB is 187+ which is what Polina Edmunds got at Worlds
next year will be her last redemption
she has an uphill battle as she has weak spins amongst any Russian top girls and her programs don't her enough PCS
Tuk has never scored higher than 63 in her SP because of mistakes/mental block ?
Tuktamysheva needs 3 areas to focus this off season
* better programs
* her weight issue
* and confidence in SP
that an uphill battle for Tuk

Very nice flat in a good location. Perfect service.
I went with my girlfriend, my parents and my dog. We all really loved the stay! The house is renewed, and everything was like shown in the pictures. It's well placed and the city is lovely. I really recommend.
Everything was great :) Can only recommend it.
a nice place to visit
Nice flat with everything you need when travelling with family. The house is located close to the sea in a calm and charming little street. Bus stop is a couple of minutes. A great base to discover The Hague and basically the whole country. Our host was really helpful and friendly. I would return any time!
Perfect apartment for a long weekend with friends in Prague .
Everything was just fine - especially the terrace .
We would like to recommend this place to anyone who want to spend free time in cote d'azur region. This flat is perfect for two people, it's situated in a location from which you have good acces to all intresting places, there are nice views from outside the window, in addition you can rest by the pool.
The view is excellent. Alps with your morning coffee. Quiet, everything within walking distance. Service, however, is low. A few things is missing in the appartment: table cloth, a frying pan, salt&pepper, hand soap, sufficient toilet paper. In addition, cleaning is not satisfactory - we found old chips/crisps and candy under the beds! On top of this, the Swiss system of paying 25 Swiss Francs for linnen pr. person plus 39 Swiss Francs for cleaning pr. person and the tourist taxt (5.8 Swiss Francs pr. person per day) added a nice 150% to the total costs of our three day stay. It would be more honest to present future guests with a clear total price. What good is a bed without linnen? A hotel might turn out to be the best option and cheaper in the end.
Everything was allright. The resort is beautiful, it is a quiet place not far away the see. We found on the last half of the vacation a supermarket in the city center, but there are small shops in the near. The keyholder was very helpful and correct, he helped us every time, we called him. There is just one negative or inconvenience, but it is not the keyholder's false, it is not easy to find the apartment at first time. The address is Via Rota 16, the Via Bernardino Rota is the other end of this street. But, thanks to this, we recognized the area of the apartment.
So, all in all, this was a great week and thanks to the keyholder and to Interhome. I hope, we will repeat soon.
Be aware that the apartment is made up of 2 bedrooms (4 beds each), 1 living/dining room (2 beds), 1 kitchen/living room (2 sofas), 1 bathroom and 1 separate toilet. So people sleeping in the living/dining room don't have much intimacy.
It's very quiet on the bedrooms side (building courtyard), less quiet on the living room side (street+tramway), so people sleeping there will sleep in a noisy environment.
The apartment was clean and functional. The kitchen is properly equipped.
The apartment is within walking distance of the old city center which was very appreciated, and public transportation (tramway, subway) is very near. Nice restaurants around, supermarket closeby, all in all the localisation is very good.

The Department of State has charged funeral director Ben Siar with violating the State Funeral Directors Act.
The charges include gross incompetency and negligence. Last week, police charged Siar with theft and abuse of a corpse after police say they found decomposing bodies at the Gundel Funeral Home in Conestoga.
If the funeral directors board finds him in violation, Siar could face license revocation and fines.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — The future is up to you.
That was a consistent message the 154 Truckee High School graduates heard Saturday afternoon at Surprise Stadium as they prepared to embark on life after high school.
"(It's) important to realize our future is not something that just happens to us," said Lillian Doerner, senior class vice president, to her fellow graduates. "It is up to us to create. The next step in our lives we'll be faced with many choices. The doors we choose to open are the doors that will lead us to who we will become, what we do and what we will accomplish."
Andrew Cross, chief executive officer of Truckee-Tahoe Lumber Company and Truckee High class of 1998 alum, emphasized the importance of being proactive in life, a lesson he learned in college while running for president of his fraternity.
Going into the campaign "very modestly" under the assumption everyone would vote for him since he was well-liked and capable, Cross ended up losing the election.
"I learned that if you weren't willing to promote yourself, no one else will," he said. "This in some ways is very contradictory toward what we were told, but I promise you, if you're just sitting there waiting for someone to see how great you are, you'll be waiting a long time.
"… Never sit in the background. Step up and be proactive and go get what you want."
This next lesson Cross learned after graduating college: Never let anyone tell you that you can't achieve something.
"The funny thing is a lot of times these naysayers could be right, if you're not willing to work hard enough to achieve your goals," he said. "You'll find that sometimes your natural talents aren't sufficient in what you want to accomplish.
"However, that doesn't mean you can't do it. It just means you've got to work harder to get there. Don't let anybody talk you out of maximizing your potential. If you are willing to put in the work, you can achieve anything."
Co-valedictorian Joaquina "Quina" Williams also emphasized the importance of love — love of the actions you take, love for the people you surround yourself with and love for yourself.
"Today, as we leave behind the lives of Wolverines, we should not lose that fighting spirit of our mascot, the ferocity that keeps us in the ring," she said. "Life won't always be easy, and we'll need it.
"We should, however, leave behind the notion that success is achieved by being animals — greedy, protective and skeptical. Go forth into your lives with your hearts full of love — be confident, compassionate and trusting."
It was before a crowd of hundreds of loved ones that Truckee High graduates collected their diplomas to great applause.
"The future of our graduates is up to each and every one of them, and I know they will make the best of it for them, for all of you, our community and our country," said Rob Leri, Tahoe Truckee Unified School District superintendent.

On March 16, The Sweet Grass Music Festival will bring five of the nation's top bands together for what will be the greatest lineup of Bluegrass artists ever to perform in the Lowcountry. Grammy award winner, Rhonda Vincent and the Rage will be featured along with seven-time IBMA male vocal group of the year, Russell Moore and 111rd Tyme Out. For moe information contact Mike Murrell at 843-452-5131 or email@example.com.
The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Patriots Point. Advance tickets are $25. For tickets, visit the website at www.sweetgrassmusicfestival.com. Bring your chair, however no recliner type allowed. Also no coolers or pets allowed.
Rhonda Vincent, the reigning "Queen of Bluegrass," is well known for her pure heartfelt sound. Her awards and accolades are far too numerous to mention. Learn more at www.rhondavincent.com.
Russell Moore, the seven-time and reigning male vocalist of the year, along with the band that just keeps getting better, will blow away the crowd with vocals that have melted into a soulful blend of tradition and drive. Their newest project has plenty of nods to classic country in vintage numbers like "Mama Tried," "Farewell Party" and "Golden Ring" (which features a stunning Moore duet with gospel sensation Sonya Isaacs), but there are some surprises, too. "'Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde,' that one's kind of different," Moore notes with a chuckle. "It's more rock-influenced. But Travis Tritt's record had some killer dobro on it, and he's a banjo player, so there were some ties," he adds. Learn moe at www.iiirdtymeout.com.
Balsam Range is a band that everyone will love. Coming from the mountains of western North Carolina, Balsam Range appeals to a large audience with their unique style and blend. With hits like "Trains I Missed," the 2011 IBMA song of the year, it's no wonder they are regulars on Zac Browns Southern Grounds Tour. Also performing with Balsam Range will be John Driscoll Hopkins of the Zac Brown Band. Learn more at www.balsamrange.com.
Sierra Hull - age, genre or otherwise - don't hamper an artist like Hull. She's already earned considerable respect in the bluegrass world; the IBMA's voting members having nominated her for no fewer than five awards over three years. But as a player, a singer and a songwriter, she also has remarkable range, the potential to win over ears unfamiliar with Bill Monroe and give performances of broad cultural importance, as she's done at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and the National Prayer Breakfast. Matt Glaser - head of Berklee's American Roots Music Program - put it this way: "She has no limitations as a musician." Learn moe at www.sierrahull.com.
Nothin' Fancy formed as a bluegrass band in September 1994 to compete in the East Coast Bluegrass Championship in Crimora, Va. Since their auspicious debut, they have grown in popularity, released eight full length albums and one CD single, played the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the Lincoln Center in New York City, the Birchmere in Alexandria Va., have hosted their own festival in Buena Vista, Va., since 2001, and won SPBGMA's "Entertaining Group of the Year" three consecutive years (2008, 2009, 2010) in a row. Nothin' Fancy is signed to Virginia Dreams Records. Learn more at www.nothinfancybluegrass.

Everyone has their little addictions. For me, it has always been sports. As far back as I can remember I have been a sports fan. Throughout my entire life one of my true pleasures has been watching nearly every sport out there.
I love college basketball and football (big BYU fan) I love the NBA (particularly the Jazz, Celtics, and any team Danny Ainge played for). I love the NFL (don't even get me started talking about the Cowboys). I love Major League Basball (crazy about Jeter and the Yankees). I love the NHL (I have two Rangers jerseys). I love tennis, and golf (Lendl, Jimmy Mac, Agassi, Nicklaus, Woods). I love Major league soccer (go Real Salt Lake). And,like everyone else on the planet, I love the Olympics (USA! USA!)
However, as much I was ever a sports nut, I just couldn't get into racing. NASCAR, Indy Car, all of it just seemed boring to me. I mean how many times can you watch someone make a left hand turn. How much strategy could there really be? So, when the auto racing portion of my morning SportsCenter came on, I just tuned out and waited for them to get back to the "real sports."
Then my brother Brandon married a girl whose father was involved in both stock-car and open wheel racing. This got me a little interested. Wanting to know more about my new sister-in-laws family, I started to watch the races. I was surprised, they weren't earth shatteringly interesting, but there weren't immensely boring either. As I learned more about the sport, I learned which cars and which drivers were associated with her family. The next time I watched, I had someone to root for.
This changed everything. I was totally and completely hooked. Four and five hundred mile races that before seemed to take an eternity were now over far too quickly. The pitstops that were previously just lulls in an already long race were now critical pieces of a clear-cut strategy where .10 of a second could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
What changed? The sport certainly didn't. The heads of NASCAR and the IRL weren't sitting at their headquarters wondering how they could hook Jason Hall.
I had changed. I had become a fan. Cheering on a specific driver and a specific team made all the difference. The races became more interesting and more fun. What used to be long, dull, and boring was now exciting, invigorating, and always all too short. I rarely miss a race now. I can't always watch them live, but through the miracle of TiVo I catch every one.
Like my experience with racing our lives can become exciting and inspiring to be a part of if we will simply become fans. We need to be fans of the people we know, cheering them on to victory in whatever pursuit they choose. We need to root for our children, our spouses, our friends, and our neighbors.
We need to root for our country and the values that made it great. We need to cheer for our communities and our churches and our schools. For, whether we attend them or not, they are still part of us. We need to cheer for good art, movies, and music. We need to stop sitting on the sidelines and start becoming involved. We need to become fans.
People today have become too dedicated to the "scarcity mentality." They believe that someone else's victory somehow decreases their chances to win. When we become fans, the, "scarcity mentality" goes away and is replaced with an, "abundance mentality." We then began to realize that everyone can succeed. In truth, success breeds success. Therefore, when we see another do well it only improves our chances to do the same.
So be a fan, and notice how much more you enjoy every inning, quarter, half, lap, set, hole, minute, and second of your life.

The North Lake Tahoe Mitey Mite and Pee Wee Rams dazzled and electrified their home crowds against Douglas and Sparks this past Saturday.
Facing perennial powerhouse Douglas, the Mitey Mites opened with Riley Rau's 60-yard ramble to the end zone on the first play from scrimmage. The game locked down into a defensive struggle with Douglas managing only two touchdowns.
Defensive tackle Richard Baker took over for the Rams on defense with several tackles. In what's becoming a staple of the Mitey Mite Rams season, never-say-die heart and determination prevailed when quarterback Dylan Cleary swept left down the sideline for a score to bring the Rams within two points.
Elated Mitey Mite Coach Tim Cleary had high praise for the offensive line. "Left Guard Jack Reber led the offense with tremendous blocks that made those touchdowns possible," he said.
With too little time for hope of another Rams possession, 9-year-old Daniel Mendoza stepped into the spotlight to attempt the first kicking point-after conversion in Ram Mitey Mite history. With tension thick, Mendoza's kick went up long and high, but missed outside the left upright by 2 feet.
Rams Association President Scott Wilderman clarified, "Pop Warner rules give two points for a kicked conversion because it is so difficult for kids this young."
"Kicking for points is virtually unheard of at this level," Cleary added, "but with Daniel's leg and composure you can expect to see us expand our game plan. What an amazing effort!"
The Pee Wee Rams followed with a 14-13 win over visiting Sparks Steelers.
The Rams struck early with a 60-yard bomb from QB Haeden Suter to wide receiver Keenan Collier. Solid pass protection from an improved offensive line gave Suter the time she needed and kept the Rams running game moving.
Big efforts from linebackers Liam Nolan-Bowers, Rain Larrabee and Ben Ropers and the whole Rams defense kept the Steelers attack in check.
"All you need is Kevin Perez at nose guard terrorizing the center and linebackers can clean up," said Rams head coach and defensive coordinator Scott Wilderman. "Micheal Hartman is a QB, and at middle-backer, he and Noah Cleary call the blitz packages and run that defense like an offense."
Winston Pretti proved the comment true on a daring punt return down the screaming Rams sideline that put the ball on the Steelers 5-yard line.
"John Madden once called it the 'No! No! ... Go! Go!' play,'" Wilderman said. "On a punt like that we normally let the ball roll out. Winston came at it and took the one-hopper in his hands at full speed and I caught myself yelling, 'No, no, no, no ... go, go, go, go,' just like Madden. That kind of stuff will make a coach crazy at practice, but when a kid has that kind of focus and guts, it's a riot during a game!"
The offensive line's blocking created an easy opportunity for Keenan Collier to go into the end zone standing on a reverse back to the Rams sideline for his and the team's second score. Eleazar Santiago tacked on two points with a booming PAT off a perfect snap and hold from Perez and Hartman, and the Rams went into the half leading 14-6.
"I was just so happy to see it go through," Santiago said of the PAT.
The second half was a defensive struggle where the Steelers held the Rams and scored on a big sweep play. Lacking a kicking game of their own, the Steelers were forced to run in for one point and hope for another shot with the ball. With 2:41 left, the Rams again had possession but stalled, giving the Steelers a last shot with 1:06 remaining, two timeouts and 65 yards to go.
The Steelers ran a no-huddle, spiked the ball three times and threw seven passes, but in the end the Rams held. With time for only one last play, Perez attacked, forcing a fumbled center-QB exchange.
"It was the longest 66 seconds of my life," Wilderman said, shaking his head after the final buzzer. "It's fantastic to have exciting games, and the whole experience is really great for the kids and everybody.
UP NEXT: The Rams Mitey Mites head to Carson City for a 1 p.m. game Saturday against the Senators. The Pee Wees are under Friday Night Lights at 7 p.m. at Incline High, hosting cross-lake rival South Tahoe. For more information visit www.northtahoepopwarner.com.

I just noticed your inquiry. I do not remember if you posted it on my community post and I responded to it there. Wood will always move and change with humidity changes. The key is to balance stresses in a piece of wood with the stresses in another piece of wood. That means gluing up narrower strips of wood to achieve the width of the skis, but turning alternating pieces so the rings on one piece are up, the next piece down, then up, and so on. Doing this requires careful use of a hand plane or access to a joiner. I once did an Instructable on joining boards for gluing by using a drum sander. A router table can be used for this too. Basically, the wood moves between a fence and the spinning sanding drum or router bit. That reproduces the straight edge of the long fence on the pieces of wood for a nearly invisible joint.

Mention the name Anderson to a grappling fan, and chances are good that the conversation will quickly turn to one of the greatest tag teams in pro wrestling history.
Few names have such a rich heritage in the wrestling business. The Anderson Brothers represent tag-team royalty, and set the bar high for duos that would follow and try to emulate their style and success.
The Andersons were rugged and brutal, but their strategy was simple. They would methodically wear down their opponents — often working over one particular part of the body — before finally pinning or making their victims submit. And when their foes would attempt to make a tag, the Andersons would employ their patented blocking technique to prevent it.
Most fans will remember the latter and more recognized Anderson Brothers version of Gene and Ole.
The original "Minnesota Wrecking Crew," however, was composed of Gene and Lars Anderson, with Ole (Al "Rock" Rogowski) eventually being introduced as a third member.
Years later Arn Anderson (Marty Lunde), a fictitious nephew/cousin, would be brought in as a member of the extended family and would team with Ole as part of the legendary Four Horsemen.
Lars Anderson, now 74, will be a featured guest at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest to be held Aug. 1-4 in Charlotte.
Anderson, whose real name is Larry Heiniemi, has many fond memories of working in the Carolinas-Virginia territory during the '60s. It was a special time, he says, and he's hoping to catch up with some of his old colleagues at the August event.
"I'm looking forward to it because that's where we got our first big break. I'm also looking forward to talking to the fans. It always took two to make it all work out."
The event will mark Anderson's second Fanfest and his first time back in Charlotte in more than 30 years. He attended the Atlanta Fanfest in 2011 and got to reunite with Ole for the first time since 1982 in that same city.
"Ole's had some major issues, but his mind is still there. It was good to see him ... he's pretty mellowed out," says Lars.
He's also excited about the "Mid-Atlantic Memories" documentary that will be filmed during the event in August.
"It should be very interesting. I'm sure going to contribute what I can to it."
Lars is humbled that the Anderson name is still revered in pro wrestling circles.
"I feel very good about that. I'm known either way ... as Larry Heiniemi or Lars Anderson. I run into people in various places, and they know me from somewhere."
His career, he notes, has come full circle. "It's just amazing how time flies."
The Anderson dynasty took root in 1965 when AWA owner Verne Gagne put together Gene Anderson, a state high school champion who had wrestled at North Dakota State for a year before turning pro in 1961, with Heiniemi, an ex-college standout at St. Cloud State and an AAU champion.
Within months of teaming, Gene and Lars Anderson would be headlining shows in the Carolinas and Virginia. At that time the area boasted some of the top tag teams in the country.
"It really was the hotbed of tag-team wrestling," says Anderson. "If you didn't have a tag partner, you didn't get past the second or third match on the card. It set the tone for my career as a tag-team wrestler. The style that we created there nobody ever really duplicated."
Amateur to pro
Larry Heiniemi — aka Lars Anderson — is far removed from the days when he and Gene wreaked havoc throughout the Mid-Atlantic area.
The Grand Rapids, Minn., native now makes his home in Nevada City, Calif., about 50 miles from Lake Tahoe, Nev. "I love it here," Anderson says from his office where he is running and financing his youngest son's company.
"I own the thing 100 percent, but it's his company," he laughs. "He's on vacation diving in the Philippines right now."
Anderson has vast experience in the business world. He's been a successful entrepreneur for a number of years, dating back to his time in the wrestling profession.
It was, indeed, nearly 47 years ago when "The Minnesota Wrecking Crew" was born.
Anderson, an alternate on the U.S. Olympic team in 1964 in Greco-Roman wrestling, graduated from St. Cloud State University in 1965 following a stellar collegiate career.
It was at St. Cloud State where Anderson, known at that time under his real name, Larry Heiniemi, met up with another future "Anderson brother." Alan Rogowski had attended the University of Colorado, but landed at St. Cloud State.
"Ole was more into the fraternity thing, and I was a jock," says Anderson, who also played defensive end and defensive tackle on the football team. "The way it worked out was that he would do these interviews imitating The Crusher. He didn't play football, but he did try out for the wrestling team. One of the highlights was a wrestling match between the fraternity and the jocks. It was a pretty intense setting. I wrestled him, and that's how it all started."
The two struck up a friendship that wouldn't end in college.
With Gagne constantly scouting quality amateur talent, it wasn't long before Heiniemi found himself in the pro ranks. Helping Gagne and Eddie Sharkey with the training was Gene Anderson.
"Verne sent him to work out with me. That's how the Anderson Brothers started."
While the pro style was different from what Heiniemi had been accustomed to in the amateur ranks, the transition wasn't difficult.
"It was Gagne's influence there. Although it's a totally different game, it (amateur experience) gave me a different sense of things."
Adapting to the fans, he says, was an entirely different matter.
"I remember shortly after I first started, I worked as a babyface against Gene in Peoria, Ill., and we were working a professional match. Fans were saying stuff like, 'Why don't you go back to college and learn to wrestle?' I said what is this?"
Anderson laughs at the fact that fans were unaware of his amateur background.
"This was show biz, but you had a base. Because of it I had a more confident attitude."
Making a name
In a matter of months Gagne sent the pair packing to Tennessee to work for promoter Nick Gulas. It was there that they introduced the Anderson Brothers moniker.
Their first match as a team was in a losing effort to Karl and Eric Von Brauner on March 17, 1966, in Chattanooga.
"It didn't work out in Tennessee. It was horrible," says Lars.
The disgruntled rookie made a call to Gagne, who in turn contacted Charlotte-based promoter Jim Crockett Sr., and the Andersons soon found themselves in a new territory.
It was in the Carolinas where Gene, who had worked for Crockett Promotions several years earlier, and Lars would hone their tag-team skills.
"The promoter there, old man Crockett, said he had been pushing The Missouri Mauler and The Great Malenko. He indicated that it would have been much better to have pushed us, since they weren't drawing. We were there for about six months and then went to Atlanta."
The Andersons made a big splash in Georgia, winning that territory's version of the NWA world tag-team title, and selling out venues for their bouts with Enrique and Ramon Torres.
"We were on top in Atlanta, and we stayed there for about six or seven months before returning to Charlotte. The rest is history."
Gene and Lars, now established heels with a proven track record, hit their stride when they returned to the Carolinas in May 1967. The tag-team competition was intense, and the Andersons wasted little time in making their presence known.
There were top babyface duos such as George Becker and Johnny Weaver, Nelson Royal and Paul Jones, Haystacks Calhoun and The Amazing Zuma, Abe Jacobs and Luther Lindsay, along with fellow heel combos such as The Mauler and Hiro Matsuda, Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson, Aldo Bogni and Bronko Lubich, and Billy and Jimmy Hines.
One of the Andersons' favorite teams to work with was the popular brother combo of George and Sandy Scott.
"We sold out with the Scott Brothers in Greenville 28 weeks in a row," boasts Lars. "They were enjoyable and easy to work with. We had the match down pretty much. We had a particular style that we created, and it was difficult for other teams to copy that style because it was a recognizable style that only we did."
Some red-hot angles on Raleigh TV had made the well-oiled twosome the most hated wrestlers in the area. A blazing feud with Nelson Royal and Tex McKenzie was set up when Lars delivered his feared knee drop from the top rope onto the throat of McKenzie. The big Texan was hospitalized, and when he finally returned, the two teams sold out arenas throughout the territory.
With Gene's stiff style in the ring and Lars' strong mic ability, the duo found just the right chemistry. Along with Gene, says Lars, the two would create most of the Anderson Brothers' famed repertoire.
"Gene and I got along very well. But he didn't have any camera presence. He couldn't project and had really never made any money in the industry. He had the work down more, but he couldn't handle the microphone. I could handle the microphone back in those days. It just all came together."
Lars has many fond memories of working in the Mid-Atlantic area. He recalls one particular match teaming with Gene against Becker and Weaver at the Spartanburg Auditorium.
"As a young bump-taker, I'd try to take higher bumps than the other guy. I remember taking this backdrop in Spartanburg. The ring was a flat, old, hard boxing ring. I took a hellacious bump trying to outdo Gene, and when I came down, blood started coming out of my mouth."
Gene, regarded as one of the toughest grapplers in the game, was unfazed.
"I told Gene I had to go to the hospital. He said, 'Ah, kid, you'll be OK.' I did go the next day and have an X-ray, and I had ruptured something. I thought I was dying actually."
As hated heels, the team also experienced some narrow escapes, including a post-match incident in Roanoke, Va., where fans tossed chairs at the duo as they tried to make it back to the dressing room.
"We got chased out of Roanoke with chairs flying," laughs Anderson.
The only time he says he really got scared, though, was during a match at the Chicago Amphitheater.
"Larry Hennig and I were working with The Bruiser and Crusher. Twenty thousand people were chanting, 'We want blood! We want blood!'' And I was never really a big bleeder. Fortunately I had Gene and Ole for that. I didn't believe in it myself. But that night I'm looking at Larry and asking: 'What in the hell are we doing here?'"
Ole joins group
The next chapter of the Anderson Brothers was unveiled in 1968 when they brought in a third, younger "brother."
Lars' college acquaintance Alan Rogowski had enlisted in the Army prior to breaking into the pro ranks in 1967.
"I had seen him wrestle in Minneapolis, and later I suggested him for the third brother gimmick. That's when we brought him in," says Lars.
Not much thought, however, had been given to what the new Anderson brother's first name would be.
"He got off the plane in Charlotte and asked me what's his name," says Lars. "I said, 'Ole.' He said, 'Ole!' I said yeah, you're Ole Anderson."
"I thought it was a rib, so I just laughed it off," Ole would later say. "I didn't know they really meant it until I got into the ring and the ring announcer introduced me."
Lars, who is of Finnish descent and had cousins named Anderson, says the name Ole sounded like a Swedish name, so it made sense.
Bringing in Ole didn't change the dynamic of the team, says Lars, it only strengthened the unit.
Sporting their trademark maroon and gold striped boots (the school color of the University of Minnesota), they all looked the part of brothers despite the fact that none were actually related. And while the hard-nosed Gene looked years older than Lars, only a year separated the two.
"Gene didn't wear well," says Lars. "He looked older in his mid-20s. He must not have slept well at night. I don't know what it was. He always had that nervous tick. But he was an excellent teacher and was very patient."
Gene was the mechanic of the team, taking most of the bumps, says Ole. Damage to his neck caused him to constantly twitch.
"He was never in a frame of mind to get the doggone thing looked at by doctors, so he suffered with it all of his life," he says. "He had a lot of problems. Like all of us, he had taken a lot of bumps and had done a lot of damage to himself as a result. Being a heel was tremendously tough on the body. He just ignored everything; he was just a tough son of a gun."
Ole recalls once listening to a report on the radio listing the three most harmful things you could put into your body: chocolate, caffeine and cigarettes. He looked over at Gene, who was eating a box of chocolate doughnuts, drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette. "What else could you possibly do to shorten your life any more," he asked.
The threesome clicked inside the ring and worked a series of six-man matches with George Becker, Johnny Weaver and Sailor Art Thomas that popped the territory. In another notable six-man bout, popular Nelson Royal went to the drastic lengths of teaming with hated rivals Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson in an attempt to exact revenge against the even more hated Anderson trio.
But it wasn't long before Lars began thinking about entering a new phase of his career.
"Ole was there about six months when I decided I wanted to go back to Minneapolis and work as a single."
But Anderson wouldn't forget that the Mid-Atlantic area was the territory that put him on the wrestling map. Nor would he forget the man that ran that territory.
"Jim Crockett Sr. was excellent. I really liked the way they ran the office at that time. When you went to the office, you had to have a suit and tie. He was a very nice guy to deal with. He was a true gentleman."
The most surprising thing about Gene and Lars Anderson's stint in the Mid-Atlantic area is that they never claimed the tag-team title. (The Southern tag-team belts were once held up for several weeks before being returned to Becker and Weaver).
Lars only chuckles at that notion. "That office ... it was a hard nut to crack."
The office at the time was run by George Becker.
"The guy was like ... I don't know old he was when we were there. He must have been 60."
Fans still turned out in droves in hopes of seeing the veteran Becker, with his much younger partner Johnny Weaver, turn back the hated Andersons.
"Taking bumps for George Becker put me in training for Dusty Rhodes," Ole would later joke.
'We wrestled'
When Rogowski replaced Lars, the team didn't miss a beat. Like Lars and Gene, Ole was a Verne Gagne trainee and a polished amateur. Eventually adding even more luster to the Anderson team was the addition of a young Ric Flair, another Gagne product from Minnesota who Ole brought in as an Anderson "cousin."
Ole had known Gene since his high school days in Minnesota. While Gene was a grade ahead and three years older than Ole, they competed against one another in football, wrestling and track.
They were the consummate heel team. There was no canned crowd heat when the Andersons hit the ring. Whether working as bad guys or in a very rare babyface role, Gene and Ole commanded respect. There were no catch phrases. They spoke volumes by working the most believable, realistic matches this side of Johnny Valentine.
"We just did one thing better than anyone else — we wrestled," Ole would say. "We tried to make wrestling as real as we could make it. Gene used to say that we want to shoot, but we don't want to hurt anybody. Beat the hell out of the guy, but try not to remove any teeth. We didn't get quite that bad, but in some cases we did. When we did, there were some guys who said they didn't want to hang around for this. On a couple of occasions, guys packed their bags and we never saw them again."
With Lars out of the picture, Ole, who had been in the business for less than two years, had an offer to move to Georgia and form a team there with the talented Paul DeMarco.
"I liked Paul, and he was a pretty good performer," said Anderson. "He was cocky, and that fit my criteria."
Before Ole could make a decision, however, the more subdued and low-key Gene gave him an offer that he couldn't refuse.
"All he had to say was, 'Well, what do you want to do? If you want to stay and be partners, we can just stay and be partners.' Paul DeMarco was far flashier, but Gene was going to be the solid guy. He thought the world of me ... maybe not that first year and not even the second year, because there were times he wanted to kill me in between. But he knew that I could do the talking and carry my end of it, he could do the rest, and we'd make money and everybody would be happy."
Ole was right. It was a perfect wrestling marriage, and that fact didn't escape the elder Crockett, who knew a good thing when he saw it. The Andersons realized their real worth when Crockett brought them into his Charlotte office in 1970 and told them: "You boys can stay here as long as you want."
Lars turns 'Luscious'
By the late '60s Lars returned to his home area of Minnesota where he was now billed as "Luscious" Lars Anderson and teamed with veteran Larry "The Axe" Hennig.
The "Luscious" character, which now encompassed bleached blond hair and a Fu Manchu mustache, was a radical departure from the crewcut and rough-edged Lars Anderson.
"I am Luscious. It came naturally," he jokes.
Anderson, who held the AWA Midwest singles title, enjoyed a nice run with Hennig as his partner.
"He was pretty decent to work with," says Lars, who shared the AWA Midwest tag-team title with Hennig. "We had good matches working with the Bastiens, and Crusher and Bruiser. We had a good time up there."
He also enjoyed working for his trainer and promoter.
"I liked working for Verne. It was home. The trips were a little bit long there, so I got a pilot's license and started flying myself to various towns. It was better than driving the Porsche 120 miles an hour down the road."
Lars would form a top team working in San Francisco with Paul DeMarco during 1972-73.
"A little flighty, but very underrated. A heel of a worker, a good interview," he says of DeMarco, with whom he held the San Francisco version of the NWA world tag-team title. "We had good matches out there with Rocky Johnson and Pepper Gomez. Pat was a little difficult to work with ... difference in philosophies I guess."
Lars would later bring in Les "Buddy" Wolfe (Wolff), another Gagne-trained performer, as a partner back in Minnesota. The two had wrestled and played football together in college.
"He was actually playing football in the Continental League for the Neptunes. Gene and I had broken him in in North Carolina. We did pretty well. Not as well as Larry and I did, but we had the same sort of concept and style as the Anderson Brothers."
Lars retired for a brief time in 1973 and, while living in Aspen, operated a successful chain of T-shirt stores with Wolfe.
Serving as president of Shirt Shack International, he became the first person to introduce and franchise T-shirt stores to the mall industry.
"I had the first national T-shirt store company and the first store in New Orleans, Atlanta, New York, Milwaukee, Chicago," says Anderson.
The partnership, though, eventually dissolved.
The two also would market an abdominal exercise device called the "Tummy Twister."
But the lure of wrestling eventually brought Anderson back.
"I had sort of retired at that time. I had turned in my pink card in Minneapolis in '73. I just decided to get back into the wrestling business," says Lars, who eventually dropped the Anderson moniker and began wrestling under his real name.
Working with Ole
Lars Anderson would continue wrestling throughout the '70s and even into the '80s, but never seemed to attain the level of success he had as a member of the famed Anderson Brothers, or as "Luscious" Lars Anderson or Larry Heiniemi.
He had a stint with the ill-fated IWA (International Wrestling Association) in 1975 followed by an unsuccessful attempt to start his own Georgia-based promotion called the Universal Wrestling Association.
"That's when the friction actually started when I stopped working for the mainstream wrestling group (Georgia Championship Wrestling). People thought I was trying to steal the territory. The program was on Satellite Program Network — the same earth station that Ted Turner's programming went out on. But the other group was tough to deal with."
Anderson would return to GCW in 1977 and would reform his old team with Georgia booker Ole Anderson.
A dispute between the two erupted, however, when Ole sent Lars to Detroit to work a show.
"I went to Detroit for one night. I called Ole up and told him this was BS because I didn't want to work in Detroit."
Lars left after one match and went to New York where his wife was living at the time.
"Ole told me I was now unemployable. I told him fine."
Two days later, says Lars, he got a call from the Florida office.
"They wanted somebody to work Johnny Valentine's gimmick ... beat up on people and do hour and 45-minute matches. So he was the booker. So I went and put my boots and my stuff in the locker room. So I said, 'What do I do now, Johnny?' I did hour matches. I did a two-hour match with Pedro Morales in Miami where I lost 18 pounds."
Lars spent only a few months in Florida, but was able to win the Florida heavyweight title on two different occasions from Dusty Rhodes while there.
"I was sort of going on my own at that point," says Lars. The differences with Ole, he adds, were strictly business.
"Ole and I got along pretty well at first, but when he started booking in Georgia, it was a little different go-around. But he was running a business, and he had to run it the way he wanted to run it."
Lars would return to Atlanta in early 1978 and resume his partnership with Ole. The two would win the Georgia tag-team title several times over the next couple of years before engaging in a bloody feud of their own in late 1980 that included Lights Out matches, No DQ matches and even boxing matches.
In an August 1980 bout, Gene and Ole joined forces to defeat Lars and partner Stan Hansen.
The following year saw Lars compete briefly for the Atlanta-based International Wrestling League run by Thunderbolt Patterson in competition with the NWA Georgia office.
Promoting in Hawaii
Anderson spent the final years of his career wrestling in Hawaii for Polynesian Pro Wrestling.
In 1983 he took a job in Hawaii as booker for Liv Maivia's promotion.
"I bought into the promotion over there. We did promotion in Samoa, New Zealand, the Philippines."
The relationship with Maivia, widow of wrestling great High Chief Peter Maivia and grandmother of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, lasted for several years until Polynesian Pro Wrestling folded. Anderson says the partnership went well until he suggested that the group begin running major outdoor events.
"The concept of doing Aloha Stadium came from when the Anderson Brothers were in the Carolinas," he says. "We used to go to places like Roanoke and do about $3,500 or $4,000 houses indoors, and then we'd go outside at the stadium and do a $12,000 or $14,000 house. I told them we should promote Aloha Stadium. That's where the concept started."
That's also when, he claims, the heat was put on him and "they tried to kill me."
"When they saw what the potential was, one of the other stockholders or one of the Samoan employees said we'll get rid of this guy. They actually tried to kill me. I got hit from behind. I woke up in the hospital being sutured on. I asked them what was I doing here. The doctor said, 'Yeah, what are you doing here?'"
He says he still believes he was set up in the attack.
"They're a little heavy-handed over there. The laws the way they are in Hawaii ... you eventually have to kill someone. You get a slap in the hand."
In 1996 Anderson resurfaced to form the short-lived World League Wrestling.
Looking back
Quite the entrepreneur, Anderson mixed a variety of business ventures with his wrestling career.
For 21 years he was an executive salesman for Acura of Honolulu. It was the first Honda dealership in the country, and he consistently set sales records and was named top Executive Sales and Leasing Consultant.
These days he serves as CEO of a business called Shield N Seal. The family company, founded in 2011, produces specialized vacuum food-saving sealer machines, along with patent-pending technology sealing bags that serve as protection for food preservation.
The products, says Anderson, were created for gardeners, hunters, fishermen and indoor gardening enthusiasts who increasingly expressed the need for a better way to preserve their goods.
"We do quite well in northern California, but we also are in Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota and Michigan. I try to keep ahead of the game."
Anderson looks back at his wrestling career with fond memories.
He was only 27 when he first arrived in the Mid-Atlantic, and that seems like a lifetime ago for Anderson.
The tough-as-nails Gene Anderson died of heart failure at the age of 52 in 1991.
The always outspoken Ole Anderson, now 70, has suffered from multiple sclerosis for the past decade.
Despite his close association with his wrestling brothers and other partners over the years, he admits that he never really got close to anyone in the business.
"I guess it's the Finnish ancestry," he says. "This doctor once did a dissertation. He went to a number of bus stops around the world. In Finland the closest he got get to a stranger at a bus stop was about 10 feet. I really don't know what it is, but they seem to hold their distance."
Lars, who turned 74 in March, has six children. A daughter, Lora Elizabeth Heiniemi, is better known as lead singer "ralo" of the band Mantra Truck.
He has remained active.
"I work out three days a week. I go skiing. We're about 45 miles away from ski area. I've been skiing since I was 3 years old. My grandfather used to make my skis for me when I was a kid."
An admitted loner during his days in the business, yet one who had a successful career with a place in history, he gives a positive response when asked if he would do it all over again.
"Actually I would," he says without hesitation. "But I'd probably do some things differently."
— Old School Championship Wrestling returns to the Hanahan Rec Center on April 21 with its "Caged Carnage" event.

Firewall consistency with Firewall Builder
(This article was edited by Mike Horn)
In the past I've already published articles and interviews on FSM about Firewall Builder (or FWB in short). The reason is simple: the tool kept evolving during the years, improving the features it already had and adding interesting new ones.
During these years I've not being using the tool regularly since I am not a Network Administrator. But I can say that every time I had a firewalling problem at hand, where I needed to prototype and test iptables configurations quickly, this tool never betrayed me!
This time we'll talk about how FWB helps you to configure multiple firewalls in a consistent way. We won't be talking about firewalling per se, so you can still benefit from reading this article even if you don't have deep firewalling, networking or security knowledge.
The examples in this article are based on Firewall Builder v4.2. NetCitadel recently announced the release of Firewall Builder 5 which includes some minor changes in the GUI, so some screenshots in this article may look slightly different from what you would see in v5.

Flashing school zone signals with 15 mph speed limits posted on them.
Crossing guards.
Stop signs with greater visibility.
Crosswalks, some that might be upgraded with LED lighting.
Those are just some of the improvements Lower Macungie Township plans to make in the coming months to ensure the safety of children who will be walking to Willow Lane Elementary School next fall.
Details are still very sketchy, because township staffers just held a first meeting with East Penn School District officials one week ago. But township officials seem determined to beat the deadline to make necessary off-site safety improvements at the school.
"This school starts before Labor Day," said Ron Eichenberg, chairman of the commissioners, at their Thursday night meeting. "We don't want bureaucracy to get in the way of the safety of our children."
Township engineer William Erdman told Lower Macungie commissioners that East Penn is determined to make Willow Lane a school children will walk to -- if they live within 1.5 miles, according to the school district.
"They are definitely going forward with this," said Erdman.
The school, which opened in 2010, is near the intersection of Sauerkraut and Willow lanes in the township.
Erdman indicated installing school zone signals is the first priority because it takes time to get approval from the state Department of Transportation to install them and they need electricity to operate.
Eichenberg suggested solar powered signals. Erdman said that's a possibility, although he added solar can be very expensive. He said $85,000 is in the township budget for those signals.
Erdman said such school zone signs always are erected in pairs, one beyond each end of a school property. He said three pairs of those signals may be needed at Willow Lane, although two pairs may be sufficient.
He indicated other improvements, while not yet funded, will require less lead time to complete. He told commissioners: "We will move forward to determine what those improvements are and come up with a budget to bring back to the board for approval."
What Erdman called a coordination meeting was held Jan. 11 with school district and township staff, as well as a representative from Pennsylvania State Police.
"The meeting was very productive," he reported. "There was no finger pointing. Everybody realized they are certain responsibilities. We're going to move forward with those as quickly as we can. The end result will be a safe and satisfactory plan for the walking proposal the school district has decided on."
The engineer said on-site improvements at Willow Lane will be the responsibility of the school district, while improvements not on the school property are the responsibility of the township.
He said changes are being made on the school property to better accommodate bus, car and pedestrian traffic.
Commissioner James Lancsek said if the school district is making major changes at the school regarding internal access, the township may have to hold another conditional use hearing on Willow Lane. "I'm not trying to throw obstacles up, I'm trying to throw these things out, so the staff has time to do whatever has to be done," said Lancsek.
"Who really cares?" responded Commissioner Ryan Conrad. "What's more important is that we're working together to make the school ready for walking because that's what the school wants and that's what the school's doing. Let's move forward. We have to prepare the township to get the school ready for it to be walkable."
Lower Macungie commissioners want the school district to meet regularly with township staffers, to make sure all improvements are completed in time.
While Erdman said no East Penn School Board members attended the first meeting with East Penn officials, two township commissioners --Ryan Conrad and Douglas Brown -- intend to attend future meetings.
Lancsek made it clear all commissioners need to be kept informed. He said they need to understand the overall stuff first, "then you can get to the nitty-gritty. If you get to the nitty-gritty now, it's going to be too late for input. That's what I don't want."
Several commissioners said their own committees should review the planned improvements for the school, finally agreeing that all of them will review them.
East Penn officials maintain Willow Lane always was intended to be "a walking school," but they aren't making kindergarten to fifth graders walk until next fall –which will save the district $60,000 in annual transportation costs.
"I'm a little disappointed the school district is making major decisions that affect us without us being part of this, such as budgeting things we have to do," said Lancsek.
