> Cheap gun grease question
March 17, 2013, 11:17 AM
I've heard a lot of people say that 10w30 is a great all purpose gun oil; cheap and available. Anybody have any suggestions for an equivalent grease? I'm thinking cheap and available here.
Thanks all.

That's what my dad used for years 30 wt. applied with a shaveing brush. His guns did not rust and seemed to work ok. My self Im a WD40 man displaces water and sprays into the hard to reach places.

I use the high temp moly grease from wal mart. A tube of it will last forever and it's sticky enough to stay in place pretty well. The expensive gun grease that they sell does not do anything better IMO.
March 17, 2013, 11:35 AM
WD40 is not a lubricant. It will also leaves some buildup behind as it evaporates. It's designed to disperse water. There is no way I'd ever use it on any of my firearms. Especially in places like a trigger assembly.

What's wrong with Hoppe's 9?
March 17, 2013, 01:46 PM
It is bore cleaner?
Not grease or oil.
March 17, 2013, 01:53 PM
I've used motor oil, tractor grease, automatic transmission fluid, and graphite. All work as lubricants.
March 17, 2013, 01:55 PM
Most auto parts places have a good synthetic grease with moly, it is cheap, won't thicken in low temps and is more than adequate.
Some of the best advice out there:http://www.grantcunningham.com/lubricants101.html

I like white lithium grease(when I use grease which is rare) but "wheel bearing" grease is just fine. I too use WD-40,10w30 oil as well as a 30w/STP oil treatment mixed 50/50. Unless used in extreme heat,cold or wet environments just about ANY lubricant will do.
March 17, 2013, 04:53 PM
Any moly or lith wheel bearing grease is cheap and works fine.

WD 40 will gum up trigger assemblies over time and does not reliably prevent rust over time.
I use the mil pro 7 stuff - stopped a problem with an old blued shotgun that was surface rusting. No more rust.
Also keeps guns in ready to fire condition.

I use Mobil red synthetic high temp grease. I got the tub 8 years ago and I hardly made a dent in it. I used Q-tips to apply the grease on my guns and a syringe for tight spots.
March 17, 2013, 05:17 PM
I bought an 8 oz tube of Militec grease. That should be a lifetime supply for me. For a lube, I use LPS2/Breakfree. Both dry after wipedown and are excellent rust preventers.....Don't use WD40, it will gum up the works from the sticky residue it leaves behind.....chris3
March 17, 2013, 05:23 PM
I've used old Lubrplate GI grease from the tiny plastic pots (this stuff ~ http://www.brownells.com/gun-cleaning-chemicals/oils-lubricants/lubricant-protectant-oils/lubriplate-130-a-mil-spec-grease-prod6525.aspx)
and this from the automovtive store:
Unless you have a huge stable or some kind of field piece to lube, it goes a long way.

WD40 works fine on the outside of guns as a rust preventative. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people using it every day....but no, it isn't a lubricant.
March 17, 2013, 05:27 PM
I use the Walmart high temp moly grease and have had no problems.
I also use WD-40, but not as a lubricant. It's more of a solvent and I use it to clean anything made of metal.
For oil, I've been using 5W-20 full synthetic motor oil and had no troubles.
I'd love to give you all a reason why I use 5W-20?... but the truth is that I read a couple of posts on the internet years ago and that's what they were using.
I do have some CLP and some Rem Oil and some fancy gun grease... I just haven't found it necessary to use them much.
March 17, 2013, 05:28 PM
Mobile One, synthetic oil is my oil of choice. A quart will last a lifetime. It was 3 bucks when I bought my quart 20 years ago. There is enough left for another 20 years.
The grease that I use on rails of semi auto pistols in a white lithium grease. A lifetime supply can be had for a couple of bucks.
ATF is a great cleaner.
March 17, 2013, 05:52 PM
How much are your guns worth? How much is a can of GOOD oil that lubricates and protects? How much oil are you using, anyway?
March 17, 2013, 07:24 PM
How much is a can of GOOD oil that lubricates and protects? Name an oil that DOESN'T lubricate and protect. I dare say your car engine is worth more than any gun you have. Basic engine oils protect them very well and they have MUCH CLOSER tolerances and endure much harsher operational forces.
March 17, 2013, 07:47 PM
I use WD40 for bike chains and parts and cleaning metal parts. I agree that in the long run it tends to gum things up. As for the 10W30 I just like the idea of buying a quart of cheap oil and have it last me a lifetime. I was just thinking the same for grease. Looks like the wheel bearing stuff is good.
March 17, 2013, 08:28 PM
I use ATF.
March 17, 2013, 10:24 PM
Lithium grease on all rails.
Other than that a little oil. Oil and not WD 40 or CLP. 30 Weight is just fine and as said a quart will last you a lifetime.
March 18, 2013, 09:05 AM
10-30 smells badly. Good gun oil is not expensive. This is not an area where you want to go "cheap".
That's my 2 cents.
March 18, 2013, 10:13 AM
neo luddite - is this
I've used old Lubrplate GI grease from the tiny plastic pots (this stuff ~
the stuff in the little yellow plastic pots?
(I pick them up at the guns shows for $1) lasts forever - still haven't used up my first pot, and works great on my M1...
March 18, 2013, 10:23 AM
Exactly. I use it on my M-1s also, but switched to a new tube of the engine rebuild grease. My thinking was, it was basically designed to remain useful on metal for long periods. Most likely 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other.

Beware, WD-40 will also dry to a gummy varnish unless cleaned off often.
I have a Browning .308 BLR (older Belgian) and had used WD-40 for years, one day the trigger simply refused to work. I flushed and scrubbed it with WD-40 (it's own best solvent) followed by carb cleaner, then oil. The trigger once again worked perfectly.
March 18, 2013, 12:24 PM
10-30 smells badly. Good gun oil is not expensive.
That is an opinion.
I also use Mobil 1 whatever grade! I have no issues with the smell whatsoever.
As far as the cost, to me I consider it FREE as I use the drippings left over when I change oil.
Cots of a 2.25 bottle of Hoppe's gun oil converted to a quart is $31.85. Now thats not inexpensive in my book.
March 18, 2013, 01:21 PM
WD40 works fine on the outside of guns as a rust preventative. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people using it every day....but no, it isn't a lubricant.
Just because hundreds of thousands are using it improperly doesn't mean I should. As stated above it leaves a sticky varnish behind as it dries. Why do you want this on the outside of your firearms? If you're trying for cheap use ATF oil.
March 18, 2013, 01:34 PM
Who are you to say they are using it wrong? If it works for them, they are using it right for their own purposes...
Nobody said you should do anything...do what you like. Let others do what they like.
Yeah WD 40 is no good on moving parts, but it has proved perfectly functional on exposed surfaces.
I don't use it because I just don't like the look of the varnish..but most of my guns are inherited...WD40 was used on the exterior metal for 40+ years on some of them...not a single one has rusted...some sat in a barn for20 years too. I use CLP because I like it better than the rainbow colored varnish WD40 leaves...but I certainly recognize that WD40 works...and I would use it to clean rust, and remove water.
March 18, 2013, 01:57 PM
I can't stand it anymore.
Take a clean glass bowl. Spray a bunch of WD40 into it. Let it sit for a couple of hours until the solvents evaporate. Examine the thin, semi-solid, extremely slippery grease that remains and then explain again how WD-40 isn't a lubricant.
As for rust protection:
But what does Brownells know about gunsmithing!
Look, I don't use WD-40 on my guns, I think there are better products available, but it IS a lubricant and it DOES prevent rust.
March 18, 2013, 02:23 PM
Right now I'm using Lucas X-tra heavy duty grease. Seemed to fit the bill for what I needed. Picked up a tube at home depot for around $4, and transferred the contents into small glass jars. It'll be more than I'll ever need, I'm sure.
I only use wd-40 to spray in hard to reach places in the action. For anything I can reach with my fingers or a q-tip, I use good ol' Rem-oil.
March 19, 2013, 12:45 PM
Since I use 5-30 synthetic motor oil I drain the jug into a small bottle and save it to use on my fire arms. It's a very high quality lubricant and is basically free. Where grease is needed I use Valvoline synthetic wheel bearing grease from the same can that I use for wheel bearings. Also a high quality lubricant that is basically free to me. Rust protection comes from the can of Johnson's Paste wax that I use for woodworking. Basically free also.
I use these products because they do the job I want and do it well, not because of the free part. If they didn't perform I would find something that does. I have used some of the high tech, high cost gun specific lubricants and protectants and none have performed better and in most cases not as good as those I have listed.
I am NOT suggesting anyone use what I use. I'm just posting what does good for me in answer to the OP.

Personal experience - gummed up firing pin on an HK USP.
no big deal to clean, but it gets gummy.

The question addressed was "is it a lubricant".
As far as the gummy/varnish thing, there may be something to it because I hear it a lot. However, in 40+ years of using WD-40 I haven't had it happen once. Perhaps there is something it interacts with.
Millions of cans of WD-40 get sold every year. I can believe that successful marketing could sell a product that doesn't work as well as its competitors. I find it hard to believe that it could sell a product that does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do.
March 20, 2013, 06:18 AM
The old WD-40 isn't a lubricant thing gets real tiring. It most certainly IS a lubricant, albeit maybe not the best one. The manufacturer even states it is a lubricant.
I too have used WD-40 for a lot of things for 50+ years with ZERO gumming. I don't get where that comes from as I personally have never experienced it.
Grease- be advised moly type greases will stain clothing that you likely can never get out, not just the oily spot from any petroleum product.
Learned this too many times over from my tractor. Hate the stuff as it seems the nicer the clothes I have on the farther from the tractor I can be and still get it on me.:o But yeah I use it as it is what is recommended.
On my guns- nope, I won't. But if it works go for it!
March 20, 2013, 06:22 AM
heavy weight synthetic lucas gear oil for storage on external parts, lithium/moly grease or gear oil on slides and rails. 30w synthetic for lube. simple, cheap, hasnt failed me yet
March 20, 2013, 07:45 AM
From Grant Cunningham on gun oils:
Motor oils: Generally good boundary lubrication (particularly the Havoline formulations), but very poor corrosion resistance and poor resistance to open-air oxidation. In addition, their pour-point additives often contain benzene compounds, which aren't a good thing to have next to your skin on a regular basis! If you must use something from the auto parts store, ATF performs better for firearms use on every count, even if it is a tad more expensive. (ATF is still 1/10 to 1/100th the cost of a specialty "gun oil.)
From Quaker State Material Safety Data Sheet:
MSDS Number: 14938 QUAKER STATE® PEAK PERFORMANCE CONVENTIONAL
Page 2 of 8
Skin Contact:Avoid skin contact. This product is minimally irritating to the skin upon direct contact. Based on testing of similar products and/or components. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in contact dermatitis which is characterized by dryness, chapping, and reddening. Prolonged or repeated contact may result in oil acne which is characterized by blackheads with possible secondary infection. Avoid prolonged and repeated skin contact with used motor oils. See Section 11 - Toxicological Information.
You guys really enjoy getting this stuff all over your hands?
March 20, 2013, 03:38 PM
WD-40 is just light oil in a solvent, once that solvent evaporates you are left with a light oil and just like any light oil it may oxidize over time.
Any light oil will turn gummy over time. If a lot is allowed to accumulate in one place the layer of varnish/gum may be thicker.
Used it for years as a cleaner mostly, it isn't a great lube, but it works well for cleaning tasks. Never a problem with gumming, at worst it left a light layer of parrafin like residue-not entirely a bad thing.
Brake cleaner is much worse in this regard, by stripping all oil it opens the door to flash rusting under highly humid conditions.
March 21, 2013, 09:08 AM
I love how all lube threads turn into a slippery slop.:neener:
March 21, 2013, 09:30 AM
Read the Grant Cunningham Link there is some good info to be had!
March 21, 2013, 09:37 AM
Thanks for the heads up on the toxicity thing. Even tho it doesn't seem too bad it's good to know.
March 21, 2013, 12:15 PM
I use a mixture of 10W-40 synthetic oil and ATF fluid. I don't believe for a second that "gun oil" is superior to what I used. Lets face it, the money spend on R&D for engine oils is probably several orders of magnitude higher than the money spend on gun oil R&D. If 10W-40 can protect the piston rings and cylinders in my old air-cooled Suzuki Bandit 1200 that I cruised at 7000 RPM at then I'm more than confident it will protect the inner workings of an AR-15.
March 21, 2013, 12:29 PM

March 21, 2013, 02:47 PM
Range guns get Mobil 1 10-40. Hunting rifles get Pure Canola Oil, don't know if that's considered baiting or not though :-) the few places I actually use grease gets Lucas synthetic red wheel bearing grease. Reason for using these particular products. They are readily avail. in my garage and pantry!
March 21, 2013, 03:07 PM
Jet lube
March 21, 2013, 05:37 PM
I bought a one lb can of wheel bearing grease about 15 years ago. Use in on some semi auto pistols and M1 Garands. That one lb can is still near full and would probably last a couple of livetimes.
March 21, 2013, 09:52 PM
Here's how this issue can be seen. Look, automotive oils, while perfectly suited for an engine's internals, do not possess the same properties as oils/protectants engineered for use on the exposed surface of a firearm. Lubricant technology is not guess work, a lot of science goes into formulating something that has specific desirable properties. This would apply to a differential oil in a car as well as a product for protecting the finish on blued steel. Grease is the same concept. While any grease will "work" to lubricate, a grease designed for the undercarriage of a truck may not be optimal compared to a grease for a firearm to lube the bearing surfaces on a slide and frame on an auto pistol.
In the end, why be so cheap? Grease engineered for guns costs pennies per application.
March 22, 2013, 03:41 AM
Nobody uses Kroil?
I love Kroil. It's the best penetrating oil I've ever used. But it's too thin for use as a general lubricant. I like lube oil to stay more or less where I put it.
March 22, 2013, 03:59 AM
Im an auto oil/grease user as well. The temperatures and constant working use over hours of driving is more than enough proof. Hopefully your vehicles engine is engineered to tighter specs than your firearms. And it still works there well. Id put engine oil in my engine and on my guns but not the other way around.
As far as the finish argument goes, ive never had any oil or grease remove a finish of any kind, paint, blued, chrome, anything.
March 22, 2013, 04:07 AM
I use Mobil red synthetic high temp grease. I got the tub 8 years ago and I hardly made a dent in it. I used Q-tips to apply the grease on my guns and a syringe for tight spots.
Yep. This. I've used it for some time. And one tub should last a lifetime.
March 22, 2013, 05:55 AM
3M 3-in-1 for anything outside.
Moly or lithium for rails or contact points.
CLP for anything else.

To escape Saturday's scorching temperatures Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux did what other New Yorkers do in a heat wave: they escaped to an air-conditioned movie theater.
The couple was spotted at AMC Loews Lincoln Square, wearing matching aviators and holding hands. After the film, they stopped briefly into a MAC Cosmetics store nearby.
Later that day, Aniston and Theroux returned to Blue Hill restaurant, where they celebrated their Aug. 10 engagement last summer.
"They looked very happy," says a source.
Accompanied by two friends, the pair left the restaurant around 11 p.m., holding hands once again.

Sustainability award recipient shares their story
Sustainability award recipient shares their story
Yesterday, Holsum Dairies, LLC opened their farm to the public, sharing the many ways it's committed to environmental stewardship.
by Hoard's Dairyman staff
As a Green Tier participant, Holsum Dairies, LLC, Hilbert, Wis., has a commitment to environmental stewardship. "We are environmentally conscious and want to know the impact our practices have," noted Kirk Vander Dussen and Bob Nagel. Both individuals are herd managers on Holsum's two 3,600-cow sites. The dairies are also co-owned by Ken Buelow.
During an open house sponsored by the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance, Vander Dussen and Nagel explained the green practices their dairies have implemented to an agriculturally naïve audience. Their focus on sustainability of the community and natural environment helped them earn their place in the elite group of dairies presented sustainability awards from the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy.
"We look at our facilities from a cow's perspective – not a builders. The dairy at Elm though, was designed from an energy efficiency standpoint. It had a focus toward the environment without impacting our profitability," noted Nagel. Holsum Elm sits on 89 acres.
Four key focus areas
The farm focuses on sustainability in four areas: milk production, feed, waste management, and genetics.
He added that the dairy's manure pits weren't built to an agricultural standard but rather, the industrial standard. "Agricultural standards require six months of storage. Our pits have 14 months of storage." They also contain all runoff, ensuring that excrement can't reach groundwater. Corn silage and haylage are stored on a 6-acre concrete pad that slopes to a sump to collect leachate and debris. After collection, it is pumped to the pit.
To help the audience understand how their digesters work, they likened it to a giant concrete rumen. Anything that ends up in the pit stays in the digester for 20 days. The solids are then used to bed while the liquids are hosed onto fields and used for fertilizer.
"In addition to the environment, we have a commitment to our community," added Vander Dussen. "We need them more than they need us." In the community, the dairies work with 40 different farmers to meet their feed needs and dispose of manure. "We have a waiting list of people who want manure for their fields they added." Twice a year, they also open their doors to the public, and provide manure solids for neighbors to use in their gardens.
"Sustainability is a culture we have put in place on our dairies. Our employees are trained and understand our impact on the environment and our commitment to sustainability," added Vander Dussen.
When asked why Buelow chose the sustainability route, Vander Dussen was open about the connection between what they do and how it impacts profits. "When Green Tier was created, it was a platform that Buelow could benefit from. Sustainability and profits go hand in hand. The principles behind reduce, reuse, recycle make us money. In the end, what we are doing is good for the environment, good for our checkbook, and good for our neighbors."

U.S. Supreme Court Ready to Tackle Controversial Arizona Immigration Law
A clash over immigration law will go before the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday (April 25), pitting the state of Arizona against U.S. President Barack Obama in a case with election-year political ramifications for him and Republican rival Mitt Romney.
In its second-biggest case this term, the court -- fresh from hearing the Obama healthcare overhaul case -- will consider whether a tough Arizona immigration crackdown strayed too far into the federal government's powers.
A pro-Arizona decision would be a legal and political setback for Obama, who has criticized the state's law and vowed to push for immigration legislation if re-elected on November 6.
A decision against Arizona would deal a blow to Romney, who has said the government should drop its challenge of the law.
The balance of power between the federal government and the state government is a big issue currently in American politics, and it will probably be a featured issue in the presidential campaigns, said Ben Winograd, a staff attorney at the American Immigration Council, an organization favoring looser immigration laws.
With respect to immigration, allowing states to be the primary enforcers of federal immigration law would from a civil rights perspective have huge ramifications. All of a sudden, every traffic stop that is conducted by a local officer and involves someone who arguably looks or sounds like an immigrant could result in an extended detention and even possibly incarceration, he said.
Dissatisfied with what it considered inadequate federal enforcement, Arizona, which shares its southern border with Mexico, passed an controversial immigration law two years ago. The Arizona law requires police to check the immigration status of anyone detained and suspected of being in the country illegally.
At issue in the case is whether the authority of the federal government supersedes regulations put forth by the state, particularly in an areas of jurisdiction -- in this case, immigration -- that have traditionally been within the purview of the federal government.
Other parts of the Arizona law require immigrants to carry their papers at all times; ban illegal immigrants from soliciting for work in public places; and allows police to arrest immigrants without a warrant if an officer believes they have committed a crime that would make them deportable.
If the law is, you have to carry your immigration documents and if you are in the country illegally you should go home under most circumstances, then that's should be what is enforced at the federal, at the state and at the local level, he said.
A federal judge and a U.S. appeals court earlier ruled for the Obama administration and blocked all four parts of the Arizona law from taking effect.
Five other states -- Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah -- have followed Arizona's lead and adopted similar laws, parts of which could be affected by the Supreme Court's ruling.

Jace Warden is sent to the Shiftertown in Austin to find a way to free all Shifters from their Collars. But pulling off the Collars can cause Shifters to go mad or kill them outright.
In Austin, Jace meets Deni Rowe, a wolf Shifter with troubles of her own—she was deliberately run down in the road, and while her body has healed, she still has episodes of total memory loss during which she retreats into her pure animal self.
Jace has never met anyone like Deni. Courageous and beautiful, she volunteers to help him test the Collar removal. And as Deni and Jace work together, they feel the mate bond begin. But can Jace help Deni believe she can heal enough to be anyone's true mate?
This sixteen chapter novella includes a preview of the upcoming Shifters Unbound novel Wild Wolf.

Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
Welcome back to the world of Shifters Unbound!
Feral Heat is about Jace, the son of Eric from Mate Claimed. In this story, Jace travels to the Austin Shiftertown to help learn about how to remove the Collars, which keep the Shifters controlled.
He doesn't count on meeting a special lady, Denise "Deni" Rowe, a gorgeous wolf Shifter. Jace is a Feline, a snow leopard, and never in his life figured on any interest in a wolf Shifter. And he seriously doesn't count on the wildness that sparks between him and Deni right off.
Deni is in a difficult place. A motorcycle accident the year before damaged her—though she healed physically, she finds it hard to control her feral side. She now lives with her grown sons from her first mating, as well as her brother and his mate. If Deni stays quiet and enjoys being with her family, she's fine.
But Jace keeps bringing out the beast in her, and Deni fears it's only a matter of time before she loses total control.
She can't help her attraction to Jace, though—he's handsome, strong, solid, hard but gentle. Their initial attraction heats up in a big way, Jace the only person who seems to understand her.
But when the Collar experiments start making Jace a little crazy, will Deni be able to keep him calm?
Find out in Jace and Deni's scorching romance, Feral Heat.
I had a great time revisiting the Austin Shifters to tell Jace's story. You'll see characters from the other books and check in with what they're doing, as well as meet new players in the Shiftertown saga.
Welcome back to Shiftertown, and enjoy your stay!

FORT MYERS, Fla.—Mitchell Jordan tossed 6.2 strong innings and Stetson's offense turned in a clutch performance as the Hatters stayed alive at the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship with a 5-2 win over East Tennessee State, Friday at Swanson Stadium.
The win sends Stetson (26-33) into a showdown with Kennesaw State, 10 a.m., Saturday. The Hatters will need to defeat the Owls twice in order to advance to Sunday's championship round. ETSU (27-30), the defending tournament champion, saw its season come to an end.
Jordan (3-8) was outstanding on the mound for the Hatters, allowing just two runs and scattering eight hits. The freshman right-hander struck out a pair and didn't walk a batter in his first start since April 23. The win was his first since March 30.
"It was an all-round good game," said Stetson head coach Pete Dunn. "Mitch stepped up when we needed him the most. We were efficient with our hitting today. We got some RBIs down in the bottom of the order, and we played outstanding defense. Overall, it was a great game, and a gutty game. But we still got a long road to hoe."
The Hatters' offense was balanced and efficient, collecting 10 hits and leaving just four runners on base. Four different players drove in runs, and Stetson struck out just three times.
Stetson took an early 1-0 lead when Mike Fernland led off the game with a single, moved to third on a ground out and wild pitch, and eventually scored on a grounder by Patrick Mazeika. Stetson was denied an opportunity for more when ETSU right fielder Tyler Roach made a diving catch on Garrett Russini's sinking liner with two on and two out.
The Buccaneers tied the game in the bottom of the first when Jeremy Taylor sneaked a home run just inside the right-field foul pole to start the inning.
Stetson used small ball to regain the lead in the top of the second. Kyle Zech led off with a single, stole second and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Kyle Pitts. Zech came around to score when K'Shawn Smith delivered a sacrifice fly to make it 2-1.
ETSU came back and tied the game in the third. Taylor did the damage again, leading off with a double and eventually scoring on a wild pitch.
The game stayed knotted at 2-2 as Jordan and ETSU reliever Logan Rice (3-2) turned the do-or-die game into an old fashioned pitcher's duel in the middle innings. Rice, who took over for ETSU starter Clinton Freeman to start the fourth, retired the first nine batters he faced. At the same time, Jordan was cruising through the Bucs' lineup, allowing just two hits between the fourth and sixth innings.
Stetson finally broke through against Rice in the top of the seventh. Russini opened the inning with a single and moved to second on a sac bunt by Zech. Russini moved to third on a single by Pitts, and scored the go-ahead run when ETSU right fielder Tyler Roach bobbled Pitts' hit.
Suddenly on top by a run, the Hatters weren't done scoring in the seventh. Pitts eventually moved to third and scored when Fernland rifled a two-out single up the middle, giving Stetson a 4-2 lead.
Jordan retired two of the first three batters he faced in the seventh, leaving with one on and two outs. Josh Thorn eventually set down the Bucs to preserve the lead.
Tyler Warmoth came out of the Stetson pen to start the eighth and allowed just a one-out single. Stetson added an insurance run in the top of the ninth on a sac fly by Pitts.
Warmoth gave up a lead off single in the ninth and then retired the next three hitters for his 10th save.
If the Hatters are to win the title, they'll now need to potentially win four games in two days. But Dunn says the Hatters can't think in those terms.
"If you look at the big picture and think 'we have to win four games to win this thing', you might think you have too big a hill to climb," he said. "We have to focus on the immediate and not get ahead of ourselves."
Taylor Cockrell led Stetson with three hits, while Fernland and Russini had two apiece.

An Altoona man faces charges after police said he wrecked a stolen SUV into a 21st Avenue home.
Jonathan A. Settle, 20, of 1606 20th Ave. initially tried to say he wasn't the driver of a black 2002 Ford Explorer after it plowed into the front porch of a home on the 400 block of 21st Avenue at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
Altoona resident Tim McCartney said he and his wife had just left to go to work when a neighbor called to say someone had run into their home at 403 21st Ave.
"It was a rude awakening," McCartney said as he looked over the damage.
The SUV sheared off a brick pillar supporting the porch roof and the porch's right-side windows were smashed. Bricks were strewn across the porch, and the SUV ripped out a shrub before hitting the home.
McCartney, 58, said he didn't know how much damage the wreck caused and was awaiting a visit from a representative of the couple's insurance company, although he did say he would have to at least pay a $250 deductible.
"What bothers me is the roof," McCartney said, pointing out that the crash caused the porch roof to drop several feet before a temporary beam was set in place. He said he worries about how much damage may have been done that can't be immediately seen.
Altoona police allege Settle and two passengers were traveling up the 2000 block of Fourth Street when Settle turned onto 21st Street, lost control and hit the house. Witnesses told police the SUV rounded the turn at a high rate of speed and was on two wheels before crashing, court documents state.
Settle's two passengers fled, and Settle initially said he wasn't driving, but a witness told police he overheard Settle tell someone on the phone, "I'm sorry, I just hit a house."
Police said the owner of the SUV told officers that Settle apologized to her on the phone for wrecking the Explorer and that she hadn't given Settle permission to take the vehicle. Settle, who doesn't have a driver's license, ultimately admitted he took the SUV and said he was driving, police said.
Settle remains free on $5,000 unsecured bail and faces felony theft charges as well as several traffic violations. A preliminary hearing is slated for Wednesday at Central Court.

Andrew Hohman added a triple, Aaron Acree doubled, Jake Dryfuse chased in two runs with two singles, Aaron Reinhart had a single and two RBIs and Blaine Hughes singled twice.

SE overcomes early deficit
ATTICA - Gus Baldosser had two hits and drove in three runs, and Seneca East overcame an early 2-0 deficit to clobber Fremont St. Joe, 13-3.
Ethan Caudill got the win on the mound, improving to 3-0. He also scored twice. Mason McWilliams also had a big day, doubling, scoring twice and driving in two runs.
Dalton Wise had three hits and drove in a run.
Zack Yeckley drove in two runs for St. Joe.
Seneca East improved to 11-1, 3-0 in the Midland Athletic League.
Chieftains nipped in eighth
MCCOMB - McComb's run off Hopewell-Loudon reliever Alex Brock in the bottom of the eighth inning sent the Panthers home with a 2-1 victory.
The Chieftains (4-8) were limited to just four hits, scoring their lone run in the sixth inning, which at the time tied the game.
For the run Garrett Sendelbach, who doubled, drove in Bryan Scherger.
Tyler Imes had two hits for H-L.
TC falls to Sandusky
Columbian scored twice in the bottom of the fourth inning to tie its Northern Ohio League game with Sandusky at 2 each.
But instead of the burst giving the Tornadoes momentum, it was the Streaks who took over the contest, scoring twice in the fifth and three times in the seventh for a 7-2 win.
Nate Hoyda and Vince Anway each drove in runs for the Tornadoes, who dropped to 4-6, 0-2. The Streaks improved to 8-2, 2-0.
Bryce Lonsway took the loss for TC. He went six innings and gave up five runs, but only three were earned. He struck out four and walked three.

Lysacek out due to groin injury.
Lysacek out due to groin injury.
This makes me appreciate even more Johnny Weir. Although I'm certainly not a fan of Johnny's personality I have to admire his guts. He does not only stand by what he said, he even showed up at a Senior B!
I wonder if Lysaceks body can't take all the training anymore? If yes, shouldn't he have found out already - given that he already trained competitively for a year. Than he shouldn't have accepted Skate America and not announced his comeback.
Is this really that shocking? Either from a - he wasn't serious about it, or the guy's pretty injury prone...
still, what a shame... good thing NBC hasn't been gung ho about promoting the event on tv, much less using his face... like last year... :-/
randy gardner tried to play through a groin injury, and it forced a withdraw at the OWG. So I understand why Evan pulled out, I'm just not sure we'll ever see him compete.
I want to give Evan the benfit of the doubt but it does smell a bit. But mind you his return smelled. Who knows what will happen now.
After all the announcements recently, with this one injured and that one canceling, my head is in a level 4 spin. I have visions of YouTube videos of Skate America with just music playing and no one on the ice.
Weir is the only one who will go through with his comeback full tilt. I predict it will not be particularly frutiful, and he will never make a U.S World or Olympic team again, and be retired again in a year or two, but I think he will go through and try all he can, including competing anywhere he can. Unlike those others he has nothing to lose, nobody expects him to do well, and in a sense that puts him in a nicer position, he can just try his best with no pressure. Those others were last seen on top, and all deep down know immense failure relative to their last top successes are likely, so each will keep dipping their toes in but no more. It is mostly about staying in the news and endorsement money for them anyway I beileve.
Had Evan competed at Skate American and even came 3rd behind Hanyu and Abbott (or heaven forbid lower) that would already be seen as a failure by people including the naive U.S public, some who probably think he is still the best since he won the Olympics (lol) so I understand his being tepid to compete even in something like this, injury or not.
Injured Lysacek out of Skate America
"Maybe I pushed too hard, too soon"
By Philip Hersh, Tribune reporter
8:24 p.m. CDT, October 10, 2012
Hersh has quotes from Lysacek re his withdrawal from SA.
And Hersh reports:
"His first planned event after Skate America is to be the U.S. Championships in January, but it is possible Lysacek may now compete in a minor (non-Grand Prix) international event this fall.
Among those under consideration are the NRW Trophy in Dortmund, Germany, Dec. 5-9 and the Golden Spin of Zagreb in Zagreb, Croatia Dec. 13-16."
And per one of USFSA's tweets announcing the withdrawal, the media will hear more from Lysacek tomorrow:
U.S. Figure Skating @USFigureSkating
We will have a comment from Evan Lysacek tomorrow after his pre-Skate America event conference call.
3:13 PM - 10 Oct 12
Best wishes to Mahbanoozadeh!

And good for Armin.
Certainly wish Lysacek a speedy recovery. I hope there won't be another formal comeback announcement before Nationals.

the fn key thingy should be updated in the first post as I haven't had the time to fix this on mine (i discovered the u36jc setup guide just today) and used another fix for it.
also dual graphics im not too sure about it yet, i installed ironhide and i think i messed up the config when choosing the output screen so i had to remove it and it messed up the whole system to point of non-return (e.g. fresh install).
But how does things work out? Compiz? Does the Unity Wokrplace manager run smoothly?
Greatly thankful for your time and answers!
I've sadly only managed to run my machine with failsafe graphics until now so I dont know if the intel HD onboard can manage compiz. Gotta install or unity-3d unity-2d (sudo apt-get install unity-2d and then select unity-2d in login window options).
Also if you plan on disabling the nvidia, please read the setup guide above as well asthis page.
but I have to say that I find unity deeply repulsive, I need a normal desktop and compiz is a waste of time ^__^ I mean, glitters are for windows because the inside is hiding the ugly and rusty carcasse of 3.1, but I disgress.
hello out there! Im so glad I found this thread, and its only some hours old
On my first install I was able to get the real Unity (Unity 3d) to work (I do love it...) but then I tried to install the latest nvidia drivers from the nvidia website and gdm/x died on me.
After a ubuntu reinstall (solving problems the easy way...) unity 3d does not work anymore.
When installing ubuntu for the first time I first started Windows 7 and there selected the nvidia 520m (performance mode) and then rebooted and installed ubuntu. Then Unity 3d worked. the second time I first had ubuntu without any GUI and then formatted the drive and reinstalled. then unity 3d did not work.
I confirm that the fn keys does not work, and in skype the video is upside down. But the multitouch seems to work though
Well what is ubuntu without a little fidgeting? Haha... Well Im glad FN-keys are working.
There are ways to get the webcam to work for the U36JC, and also a guide on how you turn of the nvidia graphics (dont run these drivers!!) - did you check it out? Hopefully it will make things easier for you.

Anyone bought the one with an SSD drive (I think usually a 160GB one) instead of the magnetic disk hard drive? In that case, what manufacturer and model is it? I've been trying to find this out, but seems almost like some kind of secret, which makes me reluctant to buying.

The family of Clemon Ferguson, Jr. held a vigil Thursday night, after the 18-year-old was gunned down inside a Milwaukee barbershop.
"I'm tired of turning on the news everyday and somebody who I love is either murdered, shot, stabbed, killed or raped. It's time for all of us to come together," said Keyola Lackey.
Milwaukee police said Ferguson was killed at 11:45 p.m. inside Hair Fantasies near N. Martin Luther King Drive and Wright Street.
According to police, a 21-year-old man walked into the District 5 police station and told officers he had also been shot. He was taken to the hospital. Police do not believe his injuries are life-threatening.
Police said they have a 26-year-old man in custody, and are working to learn what led up to the shooting.
This shooting is one of five reported throughout the city from Wednesday night through Thanksgiving morning. A man was also stabbed to death in that same time. None of the incidents are related.

Years ago I began exploring the belief that zinfandel might be the varietal to become one of the great red wines of the world, in step with pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon.
For years I collected zinfandels from Ridge Vineyards after becoming acquainted with Paul Draper, the winemaker, who told me, "your idea is noble but you must strive for claret-style zins of elegance and proportion and not the high powered and late-harvest types."
Now, in all fairness, I've tried all types, seeing if they would age to greatness ... But zinfandel needs to overcome its reputation for unrefinement.
A new friend has the drinking philosophy that higher alcohol levels make a wine better or will "live forever." There was also a time about 30 years ago when I thought that chardonnays had to have 14 to 16 percent alcohol and enough oak to hold a buttery vanilla taste.
Fortunately, as the years passed, my judgment became the opposite, from high alcohol with residual sugar to "smaller" wines with lower alcohol and dry fermentation. My conversation with the winemaker of Ridge Vineyards at last made sense, due to zinfandel's split personality of "claret" type, dry and tannic; young pleasing rose; late-harvest sweet styles, invariably heady ... And then there's white zinfandel.
Thankfully, that period is over. The question for zinfandel is - will higher alcohol make a great wine? I'm a claret-style zinfandel lover all the way. Supposedly it has to do with a lifestyle with wine and how it should taste. My French father-in-law told me that the first duty of a wine is to be red - he meant, I think, that all white wines would be red if they could - and to be moderate in alcohol like the wines of Burgundy and Bordeaux.
Zinfandel by its very nature will always have higher alcohol in order to develop fruity flavors, and this is why there is a following that enjoys 14, 15, 16 percent alcoholic zins. This is why it is called Big! Huge! Blockbuster! A Monster! These words refer to how your head will feel the next morning; that is, the "wine packs a punch." For me, this is not an attraction for the family table.
I shy away from wine with high alcohol ratings ... besides, a wine that potent can be a food quagmire, even for heavy rich foods. In all fairness, there are a few high-power zinfandels that wear their size well and can be wonderful with Thai and Tex-Mex dishes. But, one must be well aware of the Department of Motor Vehicles laws and why there should always be a designated driver. Another serious consideration to think about - 16 percent alcohol wine has nearly 20 percent more alcohol than one with 14 percent.
As for my family table, the logic is clear - a wine must have the right structure to pair with a meal. When it comes to zinfandel, it must be a claret-style of 12 to 121Ú2 percent alcohols, be exquisitely dry, and outrageously drinkable with wonderful tannins and balance. Somewhere I read, "a well-balanced meal must have wine, but the wine has to be well-balanced to accompany a meal."
There are wonderful zinfandel wines in Nevada County of all types, but some lack the elegant factor and are therefore repel many. As yet, there is no standard of what a great zinfandel should be. All the components are there for a great wine. Let's see what the future brings and from which California county will this greatness come. It's your table. Choose wisely!

This issue of Myeloma Today is sponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
The IMF has licensed the use of Jane Brody's article for Myeloma Today. It first appeared in the New York Times on October 15, 2002.
Millions of women discovered a basic in medicine, much to their dismay, this summer when the Women's Health Initiative study showed that postmenopausal hormone replacement did not prevent heart attacks. Only clinical trials, they learned, can establish a definitive fact about the effectiveness and safety of a diagnostic technique, preventive method, or treatment.
Experience with patients in doctors' offices and hospitals and observational studies like the Nurses' Health Study can offer hints, sometimes strong ones, on benefits and risks of various procedures and habits, but they are still only guesstimates.
Turning a hint into a hard-to-refute fact requires a clinical trial in which participants are randomly assigned to one procedural group or another. Even then, the findings can be applied with certainty only to the kinds of people or circumstances used in the trial.
Lifesaving Progress
Clinical trials are the backbones of medical progress. They have demonstrated the value of vaccines to prevent devastating diseases and drugs to treat them. They have shown, for example, that certain drugs given immediately after a heart attack or stroke can markedly increase survival while others do not help. And clinical trials are behind nearly all the progress that has been made in treating various kinds of cancers in the last four decades.
Treatments that now save the lives of most children with acute leukemia and most young adults with Hodgkin's disease were established through clinical trials. So was the replacement of radical mastectomies, the standard therapy for breast cancer for more than half a century, with lesser procedures like simple mastectomies and, more common now, lumpectomies followed by radiation therapy and sometimes chemotherapy.
The newer therapies are not only less damaging to a woman's body and self-image but are also associated with better survival rates. Thanks largely to the findings of clinical trials, the five-year survival rate for all stages of breast cancer is nearing 84 percent, and rates for melanoma and cancers of the cervix, uterus, prostate and bladder exceed 90 percent.
Yet, only 3 percent to 5 percent of cancer patients take part in clinical trials, which test standard therapies against new approaches that may or may not be better than the standard. It usually takes three years to enroll enough patients in a cancer trial to produce statistically significant results, a simple fact that delays progress in the fight against cancer.
Why More Don't Participate
Misconceptions about the nature of clinical trials, along with insurance hurdles, contribute to the reluctance of many cancer patients to join clinical trials and, often, their doctors' reluctance to suggest that they participate. Cancer Care, a national organization at (800) 813-4673 that offers free education and support for cancer patients and their families, attributes this reluctance mainly to a lack of information and fear of research.
Many people fear that participating means they will be guinea pigs who could receive dangerous treatments that would make things worse, not better. But before patients are enrolled in clinical trials, the treatments have undergone several preliminary tests. After laboratory tests and animal studies show promising results, new treatments go through two tests in patients.
The first, a Phase 1 study, involves a small number of patients (maybe a dozen or two) who cannot be helped by other known treatments. In this phase, researchers look for the best way to administer a new treatment, how it can be used safely, and if there may be harmful side effects.
Next, a Phase 2 trial involves perhaps 100 patients, looking for a treatment benefit. In the case of a cancer drug, for example, does it shrink the tumor? Is it less damaging than existing therapies?
Finally, comes the big Phase 3 trial involving hundreds and perhaps thousands of patients around the country. In it, the new treatment is compared directly with standard therapy. At this point, patients are randomly assigned to groups taking the new therapy or the old one.
Patients may not be told which treatment they are receiving and sometimes the doctors who care for them do not know until the trial ends. This is to avoid bias, the unintentional exaggeration of the benefits or risks of the new therapy.
Before patients are enrolled in clinical trials, they must be told in detail, orally and in writing, what it will involve. Then, they are asked to sign informed consent forms that fully describe the studies and their potential risks and benefits.
Patients are not obligated to complete the study, and they can drop out at any time for any reason. If too many leave, however, the study findings may have no validity.
In the course of a study, the safety and effectiveness of the treatment being tested are independently monitored. If at any point it appears to be less effective or more hazardous than the standard — or if the new therapy is far better than the standard — the trial will be discontinued.
This is precisely what happened with the Women's Health Initiative study. Once the risks of hormone replacement were found to exceed a certain preset level of safety, the trial was prematurely ended.
Benefits and Risks
At the very least, by joining a clinical trial, you will receive the best established therapy. At most, you will be among the first to receive a treatment that proves to be better, either more effective or less hazardous. All participants in clinical trials also receive high-quality care and are likely to be closely monitored and tested to assess their progress.
For those with an altruistic bent, trial participants also have the opportunity to help others through improved treatments that then become widely used. This is exactly what happened as a result of the breast cancer treatment trials.
You do not necessarily have to live in the vicinity of a major cancer center to participate in a cancer treatment trial. More and more community hospitals are getting involved, and in some cases the financing covers transportation to a trial center.
To be sure, there can be drawbacks to trial participation. As the National Cancer Institute points out in its excellent booklet, "Taking Part in Clinical Trials: What Cancer Patients Need to Know": "New treatments under study are not always better than, or even as good as, standard care. They may have side effects that doctors do not expect or that are worse than those of standard treatment."
Even if a new treatment proves to be better than the standard, it may not work for every patient.
Then there is the medical insurance issue. Some providers refuse to cover the costs of what they view as experimental treatment. While study participants are not charged for the remedy being tested (which can costs hundreds of dollars for each treatment), they are usually responsible for all ancillary costs. It is best to check with your insurer to find out what will be covered before you decide to take part in a clinical trial.
Find out, too, just what participation will involve, including the kinds of tests that will be done and how often, where treatment will be administered and for how long, who will be in charge of your care, whether your own doctor will be involved, and if there will be follow-up care or tests after the study has ended. s

There was disappointment Sunday when Lycoming found out it wasn't selected for an at-large berth into the NCAA Division III football tournament. As much of the disappointment was about the teams selected for an at-large berth ahead of the Warriors as it was about not qualifying.
The Warriors, despite an 8-2 record and holding the nation's highest-scoring offense to its lowest point total of the season, was not one of the eight teams selected for an at-large berth Sunday. Middle Atlantic Conference champion Widener, which concluded an undefeated season Saturday, hosts Bridgewater State on Saturday in the first round of the tournament.
It's that same Bridgewater State team which Lycoming head coach Mike Clark was surprised to see grab an at-large bid ahead of the Warriors since Bridgewater was ranked behind Lycoming in both sets of regional rankings that were released prior to Sunday's selection show.
One area which may have benefited Bridgewater State in its selection was it was ranked 69th in the country in strength of schedule, while Lycoming was ranked 125th.
"There's a laundry list of people who probably feel the same way we do," Clark said Sunday night. "I will stand by the fact that I think our conference is as good as anybody in the east. We beat some really good people. Two weeks ago we were sixth in the region and we didn't do anything but win the last two weeks, albeit against lesser opponents. We're disappointed that we're not going, but we're disappointed who was taken before us.
"If we're not one of the 32 best teams in the country, I don't who is."
Bridgewater State was one of two teams selected as at-large teams out of the East Region. Rowan, which finished 8-2 (with one loss to Division II Merrimack College), got the other at-large bid out of the East.
It was the second consecutive season the Warriors finished 8-2 but was left out of the playoffs. It was the first time since the 1999-2000 seasons which Lycoming won 16 games over a two-year period. After losses to both Widener and Delaware Valley a year ago, Lycoming didn't expect an at-large bid and knew its season was basically done after a lop-sided win against FDU-Florham in Week 10. After Saturday's win over Misericordia, there was an air of uncertainty around the Warriors, but most players and coaches felt like they had done enough to warrant a playoff bid.
The Warriors' only in-conference loss was a five-point loss to Widener three weeks ago in which they held the Pride to its lowest point total of the season (28) and also forced seven turnovers. Lycoming's other loss came in the season opener to Brockport State, a team which won its first three games before losing three of four.
"We took arguably the No. 1 or No. 2 team in the region and turned them over seven times and lost by five," Clark said. "Obviously that doesn't matter (to the selection committee) which is really, really disappointing. We played Widener as well as anybody all year."
Clark said his one big regret of the season was a single play call which could have changed the outcome of the Warriors' homecoming game against Widener. Facing a third down with just under 2 minutes to go, clinging to a 23-21 lead and Widener out of timeouts, Clark called for a pass over the middle to get a first down and end the game. But the pass to running back Parker Showers fell incomplete, giving Widener an extra 35 seconds or so of clock to make its game-winning drive.
Chris Haupt threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Davis with 17 seconds left for the winning score.
"To me, that's the glaring mistake that I made. It doesn't mean we would have won the game still. Who knows what would have happened in the last minute?" Clark said. "It's a basic woulda, coulda, shoulda. For the kids' sake, they deserve to have won. They don't deserve to feel the way they feel, so I point the finger at myself and say if I would have done this, we probably would have won a MAC championship and been in the playoffs."

It was a tremendous matchup, the only one that pitted two undefeated teams against each other during this Championship Weekend at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
In the end, Sweet Home did what Sweet Home does.
The Panthers won their sixth straight Section VI Class A championship late Friday night, dominating on defense and repeatedly executing on offense as they rolled to a 28-7 victory over West Seneca East.
"It's unbelievable to come out and play like we did, it's just what we planned all year," said senior quarterback Michael Torrillo. "We got a sense of it before the game: It's not just for us, it's for the community, for everyone else, to keep this going and keep Sweet Home a powerhouse in Section VI."
Sweet Home (10-0) advances to next weekend's Far West Regionals at All High Stadium. The Panthers will play the Section V (Rochester area) champion for the right to advance to the state final four. Eastridge plays Canandaigua for the Section V championship at 3 p.m. Sunday at Sahlen's Stadium.
"It feels just as good as the first one we had, and all the ones together," said Sweet Home coach John Faller. "It's a different group of kids to get things done – with the same results. I'm very proud of them, and the staff and everyone else. It does Sweet Home proud."
An estimated 3,000 watched what has been an annual event at The Ralph, a clinical performance from the Panthers, who are ranked second in The News large school poll.
Senior Khalil Humphrey ran for 126 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries while Torrillo completed 14 of 22 passes for 208 yards and two scores for an offense that repeatedly, and methodically, drove down the field. A defense led by sophomore Brad Zaffram (nine tackles, interception) and senior Shaun Huebert (12 tackles) made it very difficult for what has been a dynamic offense for No. 5 large school West Seneca East (9-1).
The Sweet Home defense was able to contain West Seneca East's offense, led by senior quarterback Andy Smigiera. Smigiera had a highlight-filled season, but pressure and smart tackling by Sweet Home kept him from breaking big runs.
"We just came out here ready to play," said senior lineman and captain Billy Attea. "We shut down their offense, and our offense put up some points. We tried to get a good push on the D-line and our backs and linebackers just filled up really well."
Sweet Home took a 15-0 halftime lead and added to it on the opening drive of the second half. The Panthers marched efficiently down the field, something they would continue in the second half.
On the 10th play of an 80-yard drive, Torrillo hit senior Carter Mann for a 7-yard score and a 22-0 lead 4:48 into the third quarter.
West Seneca East scored when senior Scott Ackerman ran in from 8 yards out with 2:20 left in the third. The Trojans rallied for stirring wins in their last two playoff games, but Sweet Home deflated any chance of that with another long drive, 80 yards in eight plays, ending with Humphrey's 34-yard touchdown run.
"Every year they think because we lose a couple of people we're going to be knocked off," said Humphrey, "but it's just the same thing every year."

"… and may the Schwartz be with you."
Well, not the interplanetary guiding force from Mel Brooks' goofy film spoof of "Star Wars" and other galaxy yarns, "Spaceballs," but that of Stephen Schwartz, one of America's greatest songsmiths over the last four decades. Kaleidoscope Theatre Productions, aka KTP and the brainchild of Beth Gerardi-Wharton and her husband Keith, has an original work featuring almost two dozen songs, most with music and lyrics by Schwartz, titled "A Night With Schwartz." The company continues to grow.
Schwartz, the composer/lyricist, started his career at the top. "Godspell," his 1971 urban take on the Gospel according to St. Matthew – tuneful and reverent and still playing somewhere in the world on any given night – wowed musical magnates. The modern-day parable quickly led to the Broadway smash "Pippin" and a succession of hits and also-rans, including the huge Book of Genesis tale, "Children of Eden," and a culminating "Wicked," or Oz revisited.
"Godspell," "Pippin" and "Wicked" are well-represented over the course of KTP's Schwartz "Night," but the company, Gerardi-Wharton in particular, has wisely assembled a collection of tunes from "lesser" shows, melodies and words that "seep into you somehow," as theater writer Marc Pratt once observed. KTP's fine cast, wonderfully adept vocally, not so when called upon to take some dance steps, generally does well taking Schwartz tunes out of context, always a problem in these gushing, homage-giving retrospectives. I'm pretty sure that Western New York hasn't had many opportunities, if any, to hear songs from "The Baker's Wife," "Reluctant Pilgrim," "Uncharted Territory" and the modest hit, "Rags."
Add the sweet "Lion Tamer" from Doug Henning's "The Magic Show," a whimsical few minutes from "Captain Louie," the poignant "Fathers and Sons" from Stud Terkel's blue-collar musical, "Working," themes from Schwartz's Disney tenure and a closing, powerfully touching anthem by the ensemble, "Testimony," a song/poem on "coming out" written for the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus.
The KTP spends much time in teaching mode. It's a labor of love, not perfect – a few lame scene and song setups, a good deal of standing around looking pensive, a clunky bit of choreography on the usually enjoyable "All for the Best," from "Godspell" – but solo vocals are often crisp and knowing, sensitive minutes from a carefully selected cast of eight. For KTP's first foray into an original work, "Night" is admirable. The Schwartz was definitely with them.
"A Night With Schwartz" features Bethany Burrows and Mary Ryan – outstanding, particularly Ryan on "As Long As You're Mine," one of three songs from "Wicked" and the long puzzler, "Meadowlark," from "The Baker's Wife" – as well as Kelly Kroese, Melissa Leventhal, Christian Riso, anchor and Everyman Robert Insana, take-charge and energized Shawn Smith and Gerardi-Wharton, superb on "Defying Gravity."
KTP will have "special guests" during the run of the show. Opening night saw the bar set high: Soprano Heather Holden's languid, bluesy "Blame It On the Summer Night," from "Rags," is an evening highlight. Keith Wharton also has solo, center-stage moments. Guest artists – a fine idea.
Director Gerardi-Wharton's goal for this Schwartz tribute was to "broaden musical horizons for their audiences." Mission accomplished.

What are the numbers that stood out in this Spurs' recent victory? Let's find out!
45 – The Pacers edged the Spurs in the rebounding department, 45-43.
37.5 – After allowing the Boston Celtics to shoot a blistering 61.3% from the field in their previous game, the Spurs played better defense against the Pacers and held their opponents to just 33-88 (37.5%) shooting from the field.
25 – Manu Ginobili had a game-high 25 points, and had four rebounds and four assists for San Antonio.
23-12 – Tyler Hansbrough had a tremendous game, he had career highs of 23 points and 12 rebounds in his first start of the season for the Pacers.
16 – George Hill provided the needed boost from the Spurs bench, scoring 16 points, grabbing four rebounds and dishing out four assists in his return home to Indiana.
15 – Duncan had a solid all-around game for San Antonio, he scored 15 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and added five block shots. Danny Granger scored 15 points for the Pacers. The Spurs held the Pacers to just 1-15 shooting from the field in the final period to overcome a 15-point deficit.
8 – The Spurs had eight blocks and eight steals, three coming from Ginobili. The Pacers also had eight blocks for the game.
0 – Antonio McDyess did not commit a single turnover for the entire game and had the highest +/- rating with +12.
Rookie Watch: Gary Neal had 11 points, two rebounds, one assists, and a steal in 24 minutes of playing time. Tiago Splitter did not play for the second straight game.
What's Next? The Spurs will host the Minnesota Timberwolves at the AT&T Center in San Antonio on Sunday.

Raised Garden Beds
Due to poor quality of soil in our area and reaching the age when stooping and squatting have become pretty painful, I decided that raised beds would be a good idea. I did not have a design in mind but developed the beds as I began working. I'm not sure how many hours this project took, but I worked on it a few hours at a time over a few weekends. I used my Ryobi drill, impact driver and saw. I found that my Ryobi 18 volt impact driver was the most helpful tool used. I was able to fasten the boards together without damaging any screw heads. In the next few weeks, I hope to be able to share another picture of the beds full of vegetables.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - The management company that operates Valley View Home for Blair County has agreed to a $125,000 settlement that stemmed from an alleged assault of an elderly patient in 2009 by a worker, according to an order issued this week by Judge Elizabeth Doyle.
The patient, Christine Welshans, 77, died two weeks after the incident, which left her with a badly bruised eye and marks on her neck.
Welshans was a resident of Valley View since Aug. 23, 2007, and had many physical problems. But, Doyle wrote in her order, Welshans was "compliant, conversant, communicative, pleasant, cooperative, and able to interact well with the staff and her family up until Aug. 17, 2009."
On the night of Aug. 16 or early morning of Aug. 17, 2009, Welshans was "the victim of an assault in which she was pummelled in the face and nearly strangled," according to court documents.
Following the incident she became agitated and stated someone hit her and she did not know why, Doyle reported.
Welshans' health deteriorated and she died on Sept. 1, 2009, which led to a city police investigation.
According to court documents, there were two assaults of elderly patients the night Welshans was assaulted. While no one witnessed the assault of Welshans, there was a witness to another incident in which a certified nurse's aide used the elderly woman's robe to pin her arms.
The aide was suspended and eventually charged with assault by city police. The charges were dismissed at a preliminary hearing.
The lawsuit said the aide had also assaulted Welshans, but police closed the investigation after Blair County Coroner Patty Ross ruled her death was "heart-related."
Altoona attorney Douglas Stoehr was approached by Welshans' daughter, Shirley M. Imler of Altoona. He said he agreed to take the case to court because, "No question, I believed she was attacked."
He filed a lawsuit naming Affinity Health Services Inc., of Indiana, Pa., and the director of Valley View, Chris W. Dear, an Affinity employee.
The lawsuit contended that Affinity was at fault for hiring the nurse's aide because she had a history of patient abuse at another nursing home in Altoona.
The company contended that Welshans was not assaulted but rather that she was frail and bruised easily. The company also noted the Pennsylvania Department of Health found the allegations of assault were "not substantiated."
The company stated that the victim suffered a bout of pneumonia three days after the alleged assault and that led to her decline in health.
A city police report, prepared by Detective Ashley Day, stated Welshans had bruising and dried blood on her right cheeks and a bruise on the right side of her chin and around her right eye.
The aide who was suspected of injuring Welshans denied it in a voice stress test administered by police. However, the officer who administered the test, now Sheriff Mitchell Cooper, said, "Based upon my training and experience, I am of the opinion that the subject did not answer the relevant questions truthfully."
However, after Ross' investigation declaring death due to heart problems, the city police closed the case.
Doyle approved the settlement on Monday and also issued an opinion stating that after attorney fees and expenses, 70 percent of the money would go to the family's wrongful death claim and 30 percent to a survival action.
According to the figures outlined in the settlement agreement and the judge's order, it means the family - Welshans' five children - will receive about $51,000, with the Welfare Department receiving $21,000.
An inheritance tax also must be paid to the state Department of Revenue.
Attempts to talk to the Harrisburg attorney for Affinity Health Service, Christopher Lucas, were unsuccessful.
Welshans was a retired registered nurse, having worked in the profession for 40 years.

quote: Still one of the most logically ran states in the union. No state income tax, relatively low sales tax, and a growing economy because they aren't afraid to tap their natural resources when needed. A good case study for staying the hell out of businesses way. Keep your regulations minimal, taxes reasonable and businesses will grow.

TRUCKEE - Twenty-plus Boy Scouts and parents recently braved the snow-covered back roads of the Plumas Forest Gold Lakes basin to cut 300 red fir trees for the holiday season and transport them back to the Truckee Tahoe Airport's donated hangar.
"The cutting day was pretty crazy," said a group of scouts. "We left Truckee in an early morning snow storm and drove for two hours, chained up, and then drove up some back roads that were completely covered in snow and when arrived at the cutting area we found the most perfect Christmas trees under a clear blue sky!"
The fresh-cut red fir trees are now for viewing and for sale in the Boy Scout Troop 267 Holiday Tree Sales Lot located alongside Mountain Hardware in Truckee. All of the proceeds go to Truckee BSA Troop 267 where it is used for boy scout and cub scout activities and local community service projects.

LISBON - Mitt Romney's campaign bus was in town Tuesday, minus the Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates themselves.
The bus stopped for about an hour around noon on state Route 45, across the road from the Sparkle supermarket, while weaving its way across eastern Ohio like a mobile campaign billboard.
"Starting last Tuesday we started our 'Commit to Mitt' early voting bus tour in Ohio," said Jason Osborne, who is in charge of Romney's bus tour in Ohio. "We're trying to hit all 88 counties between now and election day to promote early voting and get out the vote."

The bus tour began the day in Lancaster near Columbus and traveled to Cambridge, Cadiz and Carrollton before stopping in Lisbon. The bus was on its way to Cuyahoga Falls, where Romney was scheduled to hold a campaign rally Tuesday evening. Romney was to be joined by Republican Gov. Chris Christie, who was in Lordstown for a rally.
The bus is to transport Romney and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan to campaign rallies scheduled throughout Ohio the rest of the week.
"At every stop we've had tons of people that come to see the bus. We had another bus that was (in Lisbon) that was a phone bank operation in the back so people could make calls to the friends and neighbors" encouraging them to vote, Osborne said.
The turnout in Lisbon was more sporadic, with curious motorists pulling over to find out what was going on after seeing the bus in the parking lot. Those who stopped were treated to a tour of the bus.
Osborne said the bus is likely to return at some point between now and the Nov. 6 election.
"It depends where we are in the schedule. We want to get everywhere and we'll be back here. There's no question this is an important county and we got a lot of great support here," he said.

"The Cabin in the Woods" Star Fran Kranz Gets Philadelphia Excited for Genre-Bending Horror Flick
The horror/comedy film "The Cabin in the Woods" currently has an 89% "fresh" rating on movie website rottentomatoes.com. Not bad for a movie that took three years to be released following its completion. One of the stars of "Cabin", Fran Kranz (pictured above), stopped in Philadelphia this week for the film's press tour to share his enthusiasm for the movie that he says is definitely "classic" yet part of a "hybrid-genre."
