Cumberland Valley's first win of the season over Central Dauphin gave the Eagles a game up for the Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division title.
CV's second win over CD on Thursday night earned the Eagles the title for good.
The match was exactly what you hope for in a title match.
Don't let the 3-0 final score fool you. This match was as close as it could get. Cumberland Valley won 25-23, 27-25, 25-23.
"We had our chances," CD coach Josh Brenneman said. "I told the boys, [CV] played a better disciplined game, there at the end stretch when it was getting close, they made smarter decisions. We were blasting away into their blockers and they found open spots."
CD jumped out to an early lead in the first game, but CV came back to knot the game at 10, the first of six ties, and from that point on, the teams were rarely separated by more than a few points.
"Having this match at home was big," CV coach Terry Ranck said. "If we were at CD, this could have been a different story."
The teams filled the gym with fans, but a strong CV student section that cheered everything from the prematch senior ceremony to 24 crushing kills by Michael Fisher, fueled the Eagles' win.
Just like the first time the teams met, the Rams had no answer for Fisher. When the match was on the line, Eli Plasterer made sure the ball was set to the 6-4 junior. Plasterer finished with 31 assists and Andrew Frank added 10 more.
Central Dauphin had its best chance to extend the match in the third game. The Rams led most of the game until Damjan Stojkovic served the Eagles into a 20-all tie. Of the final five points CV earned, Fisher put the final touches on three of them.
The win gave the Eagles more than just the Commonwealth title. It also solidified CV as a top-four seed in the upcoming District 3-AAA tournament.
"This was a big win for us," Ranck said. "Being able to solidify that top-four seed is huge. It gives us a week off, lets us heal a bit, we have some kids with bumps and bruises. It's going to be nice, and then come out to play."
Districts start with four matches on May 15. CD, which was led by Tim Callahan's nine kills and Jacob Kerschner's 22 assists, is likely to play in one of those matches.

CHARLES TOWN - After a half-hour executive session dealing with personnel, Jefferson County Board of Education members unanimously agreed to consider a nomination later this week to replace Pete Dougherty - who resigned March 5 after being named sheriff.
The action will be added to the March 29 budget meeting agenda slated for 1 p.m.
"The way it is set up, we'll open the floor for nominations - from board members - and we'll see where it goes from there," President Gary Kable said after Monday night's board meeting.
"But since I don't know at this point what will happen, we may or may not have a decision at that time," he added.
Kable, Mariland Lee and Mark Osbourn attended the meeting while Scott Sudduth, who was out of town on business, participated via the telephone.
Officials had 45 days from Dougherty's resignation to name a replacement, but still have time to reach a decision since that period won't expire until April 13, Kable said.
He said board members have met three times in executive session to discuss the action.
At the time of his resignation, Dougherty had been a school board member for 25 years and served as its president for 21 years.
As per statute, the vice president automatically moves up to fill the unexpired term. At that time, Kable assumed the presidency.
The next full term for the board's president will begin July 1, 2014.
Dougherty left to fill the remainder of former sheriff Robert "Bobby" Shirley's term.
Shirley, who resigned in January, is accused of beating a bank robbery suspect in December 2010.
In other business, during a discussion about extending a lease for copiers used by the school system, Sudduth suggested looking into purchasing iPads for students as an alternative to making so many paper copies.
"We could look into it, but at $400 a pop, we've got a lot of students," Kable said.
After doing some quick calculations, assistant superintendent Ralph Dinges said the copier lease extension would cost $16,900 per month or $185,900 annually.
"So when you divide that by our 9,000 students that comes out to about $20.65 per each one," Dinges said.

My all family were fortunate enough to gather together in the awesome weather of Jeddah in first week of January 2013. As some of us live in Makkah it is unusual for us all to gather at once, which made this a special occasion. Everyone was in the mood for a bit of a celebration, […]
La Sani
LaSani was suggested by none other than a reader of this column, Mr Waseem Mohammad wrote to us to tell us about of the oldest Pakistani-Indian restaurants in Jeddah, and one that he dines at frequently. After a pleasant visit to..
Lahore Garden
Its no secret there are more than a few good Pakistani Restaurants in Jeddah. Lahore Restaurant is just one of these, and have a great signature dish which (I was told) I just had to try.
A trip down the tree lined avenue of Hamad Al Jaser Street in Rawdah is never a chore. There are dozens of restaurants here, from Afghani Tamees to Fast food burgers, theres probably something for everyone.
Mumtaz restaurant is another venue that came highly recommended, the Jeddah Food Team decided it was high time we looked into Mumtaz, and see whether the place could live up to its name. Not every restaurant..
I have been a frequent visitor of Jeddah Food but seldom found something related to Pakistani Food. Being a diverse city, Jeddah has always been a second home to a huge number of Pakistanis.

In the midst of one of Latin America's most significant mergers between banks Itaú and Unibanco, brand managers went through a chaotic period of uncertainty and transformation. As a result, little attention was paid to Espaço Unibanco, a traditional arts centre and cinema and one of Brazil's cultural keepsakes.
As partners of Itaú, we perceived the opportunity of reviving the arts centre, thus providing a startling brand experience endorsed by the bank. From that point, we had in our hands the responsibility of developing a new brand architecture and platform to ignite the centre's identity revival. In the process, we strived to preserve the historical value of the former theatre.
Today under the name Espaço Itaú de Cinema, the new environment maintains their loyal public and welcomes new art film enthusiasts, promoting unmatched cultural and artistic experiences for all.
The logo has varying elements and, as cinema, allows endless possibilities. The predominance of black symbolises the cinema room, while the composition of elements characterises a film projection. Nonetheless, the logo respects Itaú's consolidated orange colour and typography.
Brazil is a country in transformation. Our goal is to make this transformation not only economic, but also cultural. As such, our work results in a combination of elements working together to consolidate Espaço Itaú de Cinema as the home of good cinema in Rio, São Paulo, Brasília, Salvador and Porto Alegre.

January 26, 1998
Photo courtesy of City of Woodinville
This photo of the Spanish Chestnut tree growing near the intersection of N.E. 175th St. and 140th Ave. N.E. illustrates it form and structure, part of the reason it was recognized as a Heritage Tree recently.
by Andrew Walgamott
WOODINVILLE--A pair of deciduous trees in downtown Woodinville went into the history books at last week's City Council meeting as the first two trees in the city officially recognized as Heritage Trees. As part of the Woodinville Tree Board's Heritage Tree Program, an approximately 60-foot tall Little Leaf Linden growing at Molbak's was the first tree to be recognized by the council, and a Spanish Chestnut at Napa Auto Parts was the second. Laina Molbak accepted the honoring of the Linden tree and expressed gratitude on behalf of the Molbak's family.
The Linden is estimated to be 100 years old based on the girth of its trunk. Near the southeast corner of the nursery's parking lot, the tree is thought to be the largest of its kind in the Seattle area. The four-trunked tree looks like a stouter, taller version of a weeping willow. Molbak said that at one time employees and customers used to picnic under the broad spread of its arms. A sizable limb broke on the tree's southside in July, 1992, but is now trussed up by a cable system that has withstood windstorms since, according to Peggy Campbell of Molbak's. Campbell, who nominated the tree, called it a "very, very healthy tree."
Lindens, Tilia cordata, are native to Germany and are known for their fragrant flowers which bloom around the Fourth of July, as well as their leaves which turn bright yellow in the fall months. Robert Adair, owner of Napa, said he appreciated his Spanish Chestnut tree being recognized. It stands between Napa and Taco Time. The tree is described as "a large, vigorous specimen with an excellent structure, full and well-balanced canopy," and may be the only one of its stature in town. "It's winter silhouette is as spectacular as its summer foliage cover," Molly Beck, Tree Board member said. Now, the chestnut, craggy, full of angles and long, muscular limbs, looks like a tree Charles M. Russell might have sculpted. Its fallen leaves, in the dead of winter, are the color of tanned deer hide. Broken concrete curbing surrounds its four to five-foot diameter base.
Spanish Chestnuts, Castanea sativa, are native to southern Europe, north Africa and western Asia and is sometimes called a Eurasian Chestnut. In the Mediterranean region, chestnuts grow to heights of 130 feet. The Adair's may be 50-feet tall. Beck said the tree may be 90 to 100-years-old. For the community to learn more about these trees, the city may install 6-inch by 12-inch cast aluminum plaques near the trees. "People want to know what these trees are. They stop and read plaques like that," said Pam Coney, another member of the Tree Board.
The Heritage Tree Program was established by the Tree Board to promote the planting and care of trees in the city as well as draw attention to unique examples of trees. Beck hopes that as people hear about the first two Heritage Trees, more nominations will come in. Heritage Tree applications are available at City Hall. Nominations are open to everyone.

Sanjiv Kaul, M.D.
Distinguished Professor and Chief
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine
Department of Medicine, OHSU School of Medicine
Sanjiv Kaul, M.D., believes the future of cardiovascular medicine lies in tiny bubbles. It is a procedure known to heart researchers as myocardial contrast echocardiography, or MCE. The procedure was pioneered by Kaul over two decades of research, and he hopes that it will lead to earlier diagnoses and better treatment of heart conditions.
"We're building what will without a doubt become the best cardiovascular imaging center on the West Coast," Kaul Said. "This is a very ambitious goal and I hope that Oregonians will join us as we invest in this program."
MCE is a new way of using ultrasound technology to create images of the heart. Kaul says the microbubbles that help create these images will one day be able to deliver targeted therapy to the heart.
Kaul believes that MCE technology will eventually lead to dramatic improvements in treatment of a variety of other ailments, including cancer. For Kaul and his team, those tiny bubbles hold great promise in the future of medical technology.

CANADIAN - A Hemphill County grand jury Monday returned two indictments for possession of a controlled substance, according to 31st District Attorney Rick Roach.
Albert Morales, 27, of Canadian, and Robert Huerta-Mauricio, 18, also of Canadian, were indicted for possession of a controlled substance over four grams and under 200 grams, Roach said.
The charge is a first degree felony, which can result in a prison sentence from five to 99 years and a fine up to $10,000.
Morales and Huerta-Mauricio were arrested in August, Roach said.
Department of Public Safety troopers were investigating a call about cattle on a roadway when they saw a 1988 Cadillac parked under the Canadian River Bridge, Roach said. The car was unlocked with the keys in it, he said.
Inside the car, the troopers saw a dollar bill folded in a way associated with holding drugs, Roach said. The troopers unfolded the bill and discovered some white powder, which was taken to the Hemphill County Sheriff's Department for testing, Roach said. The powder tested positive for cocaine.
The troopers returned to the car, where they found 5.5 grams of cocaine, Roach said.
Morales and Huerta-Mauricio were arrested when they returned to the car from fishing in the river, according to Roach.

Solo travel tips for women like you - the first Tuesday of every month >>>
(and to say thank you I'll send you the 'list of 9' indispensable items I NEVER travel without!)
Women Solo Travel :: Going Solo :: Solo Dining
Does solo dining feel more like the last supper to you?
Do you feel self-conscious and out-of-place walking into a restaurant on your own?
Would you rather be anywhere else?
If so, join the crowd - thousands of other traveling women feel the same.
It is unfortunate but society has decreed that women on their own are to be pitied, suspected or avoided.
By going out on our own, we help push back these perceptions and take our place where we belong - in this case at the table.
As a solo woman on the road, you'll probably eat alone often.
If you happen to be staying in a hostel on the backpacker trail, you'll easily find dinner companions by hanging around the lobby. It's a bit harder in a guesthouse, and people will just glare if you try to approach someone in a hotel lobby (not to mention the security guy, who might think you're there for something else).
You may find yourself in a huge city like Shanghai or Rio, not knowing anyone, and hungry.
Or maybe you're in a small African town after dark, wondering whether it's safe to wander out in search of food.
Whatever your circumstances, solo dining can be daunting, even for the most adventurous.
I've watched women who climbed Everest or worked as war correspondents cringe at the thought of walking into an eatery by themselves.
No more! We need to reclaim our mealtimes.
I can't say solo dining is my favourite pastime but I'm comfortable eating alone - though I wasn't always. I enjoy my own company, and I would never consider missing a meal just because I travel by myself. A good thing, or I'd spend a lot of time starving!
Here are 14 things you can do to make solo dining - FUN!
1. Bring something to read...
This is a classic escape - not only do you mentally leave the restaurant, but you have a physical barrier between yourself and other diners. And who knows - an intriguing title might do just that, intrigue, and next thing you know, someone might lean over and strike up a conversation.
2. ...or write
Write some postcards or make an entry in your travel journal. Someone might take you for a restaurant critic... Or use your iPod to listen to music or watch a podcast. Or use the restaurant's WIFI to surf the net on your smartphone. And relax.
3. Eat earlier in the evening
Eateries are less formal in the early hours, and that's when families go out. You'll feel less out of place when the crowds are more mixed - later evenings are more crowded with couples.
4. Eat outside if you can
Sidewalk cafés are more casual than indoor restaurants. If you have a choice, sit outside. The atmosphere will be more congenial, and you'll feel more comfortable.
5. Eat at the bar
Some people are more comfortable at the bar and you may be one of them, chatting away with the bar staff and looking like you belong. I don't go to bars so I'd probably fall off the stool but if this is a familiar environment for you, go for it!
6. Learn about the food
Your self-consciousness quotient might skyrocket when confronted with an indecipherable national food. Do yourself a favour and find out about local foods and eating habits beforehand. Your guidebook should have a food section, and you can look at pictures on the Internet at flickr.com or by searching Google Images. Having an idea of what you want ahead of time will help relieve some of the pressure.
7. Do some advance work
Scope out your eatery ahead of time. While you're exploring in daytime, take down names and addresses of places that look welcoming. You'll have fewer surprises.
8. Check out prices before you go
Make sure you know how much this will cost ahead of time. You don't want a financial shock to add itself to any discomfort you might already be feeling. Chances are you're on a tight budget - make sure your restaurant matches your means.
9. Master a few basic words
Learn a bit of the language - at least enough to ask for the menu, the bill, toilet, and to say please and thank you. Take a small phrase book with you - if in need, you can just find your word or phrase and hand the phrasebook over.
10. Practise meditation
That's right, if you're into meditation you could use your meal as an opportunity to be mindful, savoring every morsel and paying attention to textures and tastes. This will distract you from your fears and worries and put your attention where it belongs: on your food.
11. Pretend
That's right, pretend you feel at ease! You'd be amazed at how some of that acting will actually rub off, making you feel more confident. Be clear and firm and simply refuse to be seated behind the potted plant. A snooty restaurant will respect you more for it - and you'll feel more at ease as a result.
12. Dress up
Sometimes we're shy because we feel out of place. I usually carry something dressy in my backpack - something black that never wrinkles, along with some black ballerinas or sandals. I always feel I fit in better when I make a bit of an entrance.
13. Remember: you're not the center of attention
As human beings we have a tendency to think everyone is looking at us when we enter a restaurant or sit alone. They're not. Think about it: do you glare at each and every person that walks in? The only time you'll look twice at a solo woman is if she looks uncomfortable.
14. Try one of the new, hip 'meal-sharing' services
Meal sharing is becoming as common as Uber and Airbnb - meals served up by individuals in their home, at a reasonable price. If you don't want to eat alone tonight, sign up for one of these evenings and you'll have instant friends, at least for tonight.
Eating alone can actually be an ice-breaker: you may well be approached by waiters and fellow diners curious about where you're from. After all, that's what the guidebook on full display on your table is for, isn't it?
Do you ever feel uncomfortable eating on your own? What do you do about it?
Still DREAMING of traveling the world after all these years?
What's stopping you from DOING it?
If you think it's too late, if you're holding back because you have no one to travel with, if you feel you're too inexperienced or too scared…
Then you really NEED Women on the Road: the essential guide for baby boomer travel! This book is made for you. Whatever is holding you back, Women on the Road eliminates the obstacles, relieves your fears and insecurities, and gets you out of the house and onto the road!

The Texas Legislature finally adjourned a month ago, but something unusual happened in Austin more recently. On Aug. 22, after House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jim Pitts announced he would not seek re-election, his former House colleague Carlos Uresti — now a senator — publicly urged him to reconsider his decision.
"I understand Jim's desire to step away from the Legislature after 20 years of sterling service," Uresti, D-San Antonio, said in a statement. "But his wisdom and leadership will be needed more than ever in the next session."
Although Uresti did not elaborate, Austin insiders knew what he meant.
Pitts, R-Waxahachie, has chaired the budget-writing committee for four of the last five sessions, and is one of the most influential legislators of the past 10 years.
In addition, four other veteran House members, including Higher Education Chairman Dan Branch and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Harvey Hilderbran, are leaving. Branch, R-Dallas, and Hilderbran, R-Kerrville, are now running for statewide office, and the other two lawmakers are returning to private life.
Whether advertently or inadvertently, there was something else Uresti touched on: It looks like there might be more high turnover in the 2015 session, just as it happened this year when there were more than 40 freshmen in the 181-member Legislature, the highest number of rookies in four decades.
So far, about 20 incumbents have decided to return to private life, seek statewide office or have already drawn serious challengers for next year's Democratic and Republican primaries.
That number could easily double in the next two months because, as it happens every two years, a good number of legislators announce just before the monthlong registration period for the primaries begins — and sometimes even a day or two before the filing deadline — they are not seeking re-election.
Unless the two-year redistricting fight causes additional election-related delays, as it happened last year, as of now the monthlong registration period for the March 4 Democratic and Republican primaries begins Nov. 9.
And then there is the high number of House freshmen who don't have staying power.
For the past decade or so, about one of every four House freshman has been rejected by the voters, mainly in the primaries. This list includes Jim Landtroop of Plainview, whom Ken King of Canadian ousted in last year's Republican primary runoff.
This means that about 10 rookies in the class of 2013 are unlikely to be back in Austin when the 84th Legislature convenes Jan. 13.
Moreover, taking into account the large freshman class of 2011 — which also included GOP Reps. John Frullo and Charles Perry of Lubbock and Four Price of Amarillo — if there is another high turnover in the next session, as many as two-thirds of all lawmakers would have no more than four years of legislative experience when they take their oath of office.
This explains Uresti's concern that Pitts "will be needed more than ever in the next session."
The Legislature already faced an experience deficit this year, as well as in the 2011 session, when there was another unusually large freshman class — almost 40.
On the flip side, another experience deficit could help the Texas Panhandle/South Plains region. A high turnover would increase the possibilities of Frullo, Perry and Price getting committee chairmanships or other leadership positions.
This is because it is not unusual for a speaker of the House to appoint a third-term representative to such positions. In his three sessions as the leader of the lower chamber, Speaker Joe Straus has already appointed some three-termers as committee chairs, most recently Tryon D. Lewis. Lewis, R-Odessa, chairs the chamber's Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence Committee.
In all, if the 2014 election is like the last two, there should be another high turnover in the Legislature, as well as more interesting races to watch — in the primaries and in the general election.

Jerry Lewis can't control himself. If an off-color gag is ricocheting inside his brain, it will come flying out of his mouth a second later. There's no point in trying to stop it. For the past 70 years, this has mostly been a good thing. It's made generations of people temporarily forget their misery and, in the process, made Lewis a very rich man. But when he steps on stage at the Kodak Theatre next month to receive the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, there's no telling what's going to happen. Not even Lewis knows.
"My staff asked me, 'What are you going to do at the Oscars, J.L.?' And I said, 'I'm going to make it brief. I'm going to go up there, grab that award, and say, It's about f—ing time!' And walk off."
Lewis doesn't laugh. But he is kidding. We think.
The legendary comedian is a month shy of his 83rd birthday, but he looks a decade younger. Having rebounded from recent health woes, he's now as impishly naughty and lightning fast as he was on stage at the Copa with Dean Martin, back when he was the antic man-child riffing next to the cool-as-ice straight man. Or back when he was doing double takes and pratfalls in his hit string of 1960s solo comedies like The Bellboy and The Nutty Professor. Or when he was bleary-eyed and ad-libbing for 48 hours straight, milking laughs and donations on his annual muscular dystrophy telethons.
Lewis' office in Las Vegas is a time capsule of a bygone golden age of comedy. Everything is hermetically clean, superstitiously orderly, and most important, red: the carpet, his old-school IBM Selectric typewriter, the telephone, even the bowl of hard candy on the coffee table. The walls are covered with posters from his movies, flattering letters from Stan Laurel and Steven Spielberg, and a museum's worth of photos of him with Dean, him with JFK, and him with Robert De Niro on the set of 1983's The King of Comedy. He could charge admission at the door.
Behind a large, wooden wraparound desk sits the King himself, sharply dressed in a red argyle sweater over a crisp red button-down shirt. He wears a pair of black velvet slippers with gold filigree. His jet-black hair is slicked back with Vitalis as it's been for the past 40 years. There's also a plate of Krispy Kremes sitting just beyond his reach. Lewis eyeballs them every few minutes, until the uncontrollable voice in his brain can't be quieted any longer. "They look good, don't they?" he asks. "I honestly don't know whether to eat 'em or f— 'em!" Maybe the producers of the Oscars should get that five-second tape delay ready.
Right off the bat, without prompting, Lewis says that he was floored when the Academy called to tell him about his honorary award — the result of 56 years of work on behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Lewis has raised more than $2 billion to help fight the neuromuscular disease — a cause he first got involved with after a friend whose nephew had the disease asked if Lewis would make an appeal for donations on The Colgate Comedy Hour, which he hosted with Martin.

The GSPCA helps rescue, rehome, reunite and rehabilitate over 2000 animals every year and tomorrow the children will find out about the wonderful work that goes on in animal rescue and care every day here in Guernsey.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'It is wonderful how schools, businesses and those caring people go out of their way to help and raise money for the many animals in need here in Guernsey.'
'It's always a joy to talk to children about the work we do here at the GSPCA as they are always fascinated, although they often get a little distracted when we take animals into an assembly or class room.'
'We are really grateful to St Andrews for getting involved, it is a lovely little school and they do a lot for charity.'
'It's never too late to get involved in raising funds for the Shelter and you just have to look at a few of our purple staff to get a few ideas.'
'The staff have had bit of a purple theme all week from beards to hair, glasses to hats and they are still after sponsorship which you can do so by calling, online or at the Shelter.'
'Thank you to everyone involved in the GSPCA Purple Week and with today being our birthday we'd like to ask everyone to stop and reflect on the countless animals lives we have helped at the GSPCA over the last 141 years.'

In three murine tumor-host systems, tumors were frozen to a cryolesion of standard size visually extending beyond the gross tumor margins into normal adjacent tissues, an approach commonly used in clinical cryosurgery. The effects of varying probe-tip surface area, tip temperature, and number of freezes were evaluated in terms of temperature changes within the frozen tissues and effectiveness of tumor control. Wide ranges of tissue temperature change were produced by varying these conditions, even though the visual cryolesion was constant. Repeated freezing increased the cryolesion progression rate and improved cure rate. With either size probe tip, lower tip temperature produced an increased depth of central tumor temperature and increased cure rates. The probe with a relatively large tip-to-tumor contact area produced better tumor control at either temperature with economy of effort.

Try to Control Your Disappointment
There's Nothing Smart About This Flick
Sometimes, it works really well when a beloved television series jumps to the big screen. From the recent smash hit Sex and the City to older favorites like The Addams Family or The Brady Bunch, it is definitely possible to make that leap. Sadly, Get Smart is not one of those films.
On paper, it seems to have potential. With funnyman Steve Carell taking over the Don Adams role of Maxwell Smart, the bumbling yet lovable CONTROL secret agent who, along with Agent 99 (played in the movie by likable Anne Hathaway), fights the evil forces of KAOS, Get Smart should have been filled with classic comedic moments. Add in Oscar winner Alan Arkin as the Chief, the always-charming Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as one of CONTROL's super-secret agents, and Terence Stamp as the perfect KAOS bad guy, and this flick should have been a slam-dunk of fun.
Instead, Get Smart is a deathly boring slog through an incredibly stupid and predictable plot, without a single good laugh to redeem it. Carell gives it his best, but when director Peter Segal (Tommy Boy, 50 First Dates) and his writers (who are definitely not Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, the original "Get Smart" comic geniuses) choose to begin the film with Max as a desk agent with a history of obesity, it is basically all downhill from there. Max in a fat suit is not the Get Smart any fan of the old series was hoping for in this new version!
Sure, there are a couple of relatively good action sequences along the way, but any James Bond flick does that a hundred times better. What we wanted in Get Smart was a combination of sight gags, hilarious dialogue, and funny super-spy situations; what we got instead is a mishmash of attempted (and completely flat) humor, serious spy stuff that is so derivative as to be embarrassing, and a Maxwell Smart who is nothing like the original character.
To get your Get Smart fix, we suggest that you stay home and check out the complete original series on DVD rather than heading to the local multiplex to see this sad, pale imitation of the original.

Lot # 755 (of 1411) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Two 1884 Lawson's Base Ball Game Playing Card Sets
Starting Bid - $300.00, Sold For - $1,392.00
Issued in 1884 by the Lawson Card Company of Boston, Massachusetts, the Lawson's playing card set features thirty-six cards with extremely striking baseball-related designs. This lot includes two extremely high-grade complete sets, each a slightly different variety. 1) Complete 36-card standard edition Lawson's set in Near Mint condition, still housed in its original thin cardboard packaging (top flap is detached, side of box has a slight tear, displays beautifully). The set is accompanied by the original 20-page instruction booklet explaining the rules of the game, which features a black and white woodcut of a batter on the cover. The backs feature a very attractive baseball scene in blue and white. 2) Complete 36-card "deluxe" edition Lawson's set in Near Mint condition. The deluxe edition is identical to the standard edition cards except that each card has beautiful gilt edges and the same very attractive baseball scene in brown and white, as opposed to blue and white. Instead of a thin cardboard box, the deluxe set is presented in a thicker brown cloth-covered cardboard box with game identification in gold lettering, and with matching interior cloth-covered sleeve. The cards are in Near Mint condition. The bottom of the exterior box is missing, and there is some wear to the gilt lettering, but it still displays as Ex. This set is also accompanied by its original 20-page instruction booklet, with the same cover design printed in a striking red. All cards in both sets are bright, crisp, and clean, having been beautifully preserved in their original boxes. Total two complete sets (72 cards). Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $1,392.00

My husband and I started a website, www.lockandloadarms.com and he is a cowboy shooter, Ohio fast draw & SASS. I am the brains behind the operation. And he has turned the back part of our property into a shooting range.
So we live and breath firearms of all kinds.

Hi everyone,
My name is Robert and I am new to this forum. I dont know all that much about firearms, but I have developed an interest in them as of late.
I use to shoot many years ago, as a young boy, with my uncle on his farm in PA. I acquired a few firearms from him, but through the years for the need of money, I foolishly sold some. I sold a 30 30 lever action rifle, an old H&R 16 Gauge Single shot, shotgun, and an H&R .22 revolver.
However, what I still have left from him is a Charter Arms .38, revolver, with a 2 barrel, also a Beretta .25, model 950 -jet fire, which my aunt, his wife, has just recently given to me. My uncle passed on a few years back.
I just recently purchased a Stoeger, 20 gauge, double barrel, coach gun. It's a nice gun and fun to shoot.
For conceal carry I usually take along a small Taurus 380, but when I am out on the road, I will also take along my Taurus Judge. This is just about my total inventory of firearms, for now anyways.
The one thing that I have learned about firearms however, is how dang expensive theyve become. I remember that prices years ago werent nearly as high. I guess guns can make a good investment.
At any rate, I just thought I would post and introduce myself to you. I look forward to getting better acquainted with you all and gaining a better understanding of guns.

Hello everyone,
I'm Michael Martin out of Woodbury Minnesota. I'm lucky enough to have a career writing about these great topics (firearms, personal protection, home defense, etc.). When I'm not doing that, I spend a good chunk of my time as a firefighter with the city of Woodbury, where in addition to responding to our station three, I manage all of the department's public education and recruiting. The rest of my time is spent with my great little boys, and my wonderful wife Sara.

Hello everyone,
I've been a outdoorsman,serviceman,even mild adventurer for 20 years and I have finally
decided to join a forum or two.
I enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer,and I still camp in a tent or back of my 1990 ford f150 (straight 6)
I am a budget minded fellow, and I enjoy many (and all)shooting sports.
I don't believe you have to have a "name brand" to have a good rifle (particularly ar's).
my primary caliber(s) have been and always will be .243 ,7.62x39, 5.56, 9mm,.45,12g,20g&.22
I have always been able to put meat on the table or defend with these and see no reason to change to the latest "buy me" caliber.
I believe in shot placement and clean kills when taking game.
I have used wolf 5.56 in my mini 14 for 20 years and she still puts a .75 group at 100(hp,not fmj don't ask why don't know fmj is solid 1.2ish).
my ar's do very well with wolf as well, I just clean my weapons after shooting that day.
I look forward to some nononsense information sharing.
I'm not an armchair commando,I won't embelish or bs ya, if I did it I'll tell ya.
Have great day everyone
ps I recently upgraded to an xd9 I love the accuracy and feel of this weapon it's awesome. eats blazer and wolf all day long lol.

Pushing the Yeager envelope
I am a gun revivalist, having purchased my first gun about a year ago. I was nieve enough to think [at that time] that gun technology has advanced along with the digital landscape, into the 21st century. So far, my impression is that it has fallen back to the old defaults, and not without intervention. This saddens me. I shot marksman M-16 in the Air Force 1977. I bought my first gun, Ruger SR40, wanting the edge of the EU 10mil but not the kick. Frist impressions of the Ruger... it is a rock tosser! I believe this gun can be drug through the mud and still shoot [at same accuracy]. Suppose it suffices for it's designed purpose. I found a friend at the shooting range who has a strong affinity for guns and customized his Kimber 45s. He has several although, one in particular has (for lack of a better explaination) a bullshido like soul. Feedback and control is soo smooth that it got me looking into the transverse wave harmonics of the blast "ring"/bullet velocity harmonics. This probably has nothing to do with bullet flight unless some auto/semi-auto harmonics overlap but it is a great pleasure to feel! So, I bought a Savage 308 for hunting and practice. Depending on ammo (purchased) it had a range of "feel" of a wood mallet to plastic mallet. Some Chech ammo I found at a show (762x51) almost gave it a metal mallet feel... post bullet eject "ring" was more... of a metal-"ring" than a "bong", "boing" or worse like a drummer's symbol. It was always my plan to start reloading. When I fell in love with the development notes on the 338 Lapua Magnum from the bullet ballistics, travel I had to buy a (Savage 110BA) 338 Lapua Magnum before they are removed from the public landsacpe altogether. Got me some Hornady ammo 285gr and set out to make sure all shots were;
Found some good observations on here and signed-up. Anyone in the 338 Lapua loading conudrum and have some advice... I am open minded. [I am also suspicious that the best ammo manufacturing for 338 Lapua (Lost River J40) was submarined and the landscape (even reloading) is mined with traps and fiscal genocide)] I plan on using the Lapua to go hunting since a disability from the Air Force left me with an asmatic condition, chasing game is not in my fortune.
So that is about me. I love that 2600-3000 FPS bullet flight challenge. I "think" it is still "doable" in the USA but I am having growing doubts.

Thank you for your reply. Our Daughter is relapsing frequently. she does go to AA but still does drink and is not very responsable when she does this. It is also disterbing to her daughter. Our daughter is receiving unemployment and has dipped in to her 401K.Her home is in forclosue. My wife and I paid for her rehab and a portion of her rent in the apartment where she now lives with her Daughter and we pay for our Granddaughters schooling and some other Misc. Items . Unemployment is her only weekly income. Again thanks for your consideration.

Hi there,
Thank you for waiting.
I am so sorry to hear about your 52 year-old daughter's situation.
It sounds like your daughter is addicted to alcohol and has been relapsing, though she attends AA. She has been unemployed and receives unemployment benefit only. I can imagine how
and worried you must have been about your daughter's and granddaughters'situation.
I would advise your daughter to see a psychotherapist or certified alcohol counselor weekly in addition to AA.
It's likely she also suffers from depression as many people with alcohol dependence or abuse issues.
Alcohol treatment may be a priority. Ideally, she may work with a certified alcohol counselor weekly to avoid relapse and a psychologist/psychotherapist for her emotional problems such as depression.
My question is: is it possible for them to lie with you until your daughter gets better? Ideally, your daughter and granddaughters may be better off living with you for emotional support.
Whether she lives in Ct. or CA, She may need to get alcohol treatment in an inpatient or outpatient setting.

CLAY, Alabama -- More than 200 houses in at least five subdivisions in Clay in northeast Jefferson County were either destroyed or had damage to at least 50 percent of the structure by the tornado that tore through the county this morning, Clay City Council members said.
The tornado, which was estimated to be about 500 yards wide as it went through Clay, moved from the southwest to the northeast, striking the Paradise Valley, George Brook, Steeplechase, Pilgrim's Rest and Rosewood subdivisions, authorities said.
"It's bad," Clay Councilman Charles Webster said. "Paradise Valley is probably the worst hit" of the subdivisions in Clay.
About 200 houses in Paradise Valley were either destroyed or had damage to at least 50 percent of the structure, Webster said.
The tornado then moved across Old Springville Road and turned through George Brook, destroying about six houses there and damaging another 14 or so, authorities said.
It also clipped the Steeplechase subdivision, where Webster said at least three homes were completely destroyed and another five or six sustained damage to at least 50 percent of the structure.
Clay Councilman L.B. Feemster said the Pilgrim's Rest and Rosewood subdivisions also were hit.
Devin Lovett, a 15-year-old girl who lives in George Brook, said she, her mother, stepfather and brother got into a downstairs coat closet when the tornado struck their community about 4:20 a.m.
"It was like whistling," she said. "It sucked the windows in, and one of the windows busted."
Her mother's house sustained minor damage, but her father's house about a block away was destroyed, she said. When she first saw her father's house, "I just started crying," she said. She tried to call his cell phone and couldn't get him. It was 30 to 45 minutes before she realized her father was not at home when the storm struck, she said.
Angela Crawford, another resident of George Brook whose home was not damaged, said she and her hsuband took cover as the storm approached. "We were in the washroom when we heard the train sound in the air, and we knew trains don't be in the air," Crawford said. "God was with us."
The tornado hit the nearby Department of Youth Services' girls campus, blowing the roof off the lunchroom and causing roof damage to other buildings. None of the 15 or so girls at the campus were injured and have been taken elsewhere.
Officials in Clay swung into action shortly before 7 a.m., turning the Clay Community Center off Clary-Palmerdale Road into a staging area. By 9 a.m., dozens of volunteers had signed up to help, offering golf carts, tools and medical assistance, and food was being brought in for workers and victims.
Shortly before noon officials more the staging area to the Clay Methodist Church at the corner of Old Springville Road and Clay-Palmerdale Road due to the need for space and phone access the church afforded.
Feemster said the city had sent volunteers to some areas to assist in debris clearing, but police sent them back because the area was still not safe for volunteers.
People are now busy using chainsaws to clear trees off the roads branching off Old Springville Road. Old Springville Road is now passable but open only to emergency personnel.

Fast Company named the Thunder the sixth most innovative company in sports: "For proving that market size doesn't matter. Following a nasty arena dispute between the Seattle Supersonic owners and city leaders, the franchise relocated in 2008 to Oklahoma City, the NBA's smallest market (1.2 million people) and third smallest TV market. It ranks in the top 15 in overall attendance and is one of the most profitable small-market teams in any sport, worth an estimated $329 million, 18th in the league, according to Forbes. Kevin Durant, the NBA's youngest scoring champ, and a core of young stars has led the fast turnaround, from having the league's second-worst record to contending for the title."
If you missed it, super weird moment to end the game last night. Aaron Brooks and Zabian Dowdell (former Tulsa 66er) were both ejected. Brooks, for apparently grabbing his stuff in front of Ken Mauer. Watch the video and you tell me what happened.
Matt Moore of Eye on Basketball explains it a little: "The issue stems from what referee Ken Mauer reportedly said which led to Suns reserve's Zabian Dowdell's initial ejection and Aaron Brooks' subsequent removal. John Gambadoro of 620 KTAR in Phoenix reports that Ken Mauer allegedly called Dodwell a small female dog. Dowdell didn't like that too much."
I don't know who this "Michael" Westbrook is, but the Thunder should play him more.
Seattle native Nate Robinson is OK with the Thunder: "It's OK," Robinson said. "The NBA is a business. It would have been sweet if Seattle still had a team so I could have gone home and played in front of the home crowd, but it (relocating) really wasn't Oklahoma City's fault. Things happen."
Breaking down OKC's new crunchtime play.
Rob Mahoney for The Point Forward on the rip move: "I'm not sure there's a more irritating maneuver than the "rip-through" move that Kevin Durant has practically claimed as his own. NBA fans may despise the seemingly arbitrary block/charge distinction or a number of other rules, but the fact that the league hasn't cracked down on these kinds of plays — and actually defends them — strikes me as a tad ridiculous. How this isn't the definition of the offensive player creating contact is beyond me, but referees apparently still deem the play as some kind of defensive infraction. Regardless, Durant is right: As a player looking to win, he should keep drawing fouls this way until the league changes its interpretation of the play. An even more troubling aspect of the rip move: Referee anticipation is leading to some quick — and false — whistles when in fact no contact is made at all."
John Krolik of PBT: "The rip move, however, is an offensive player creating contact with a stationary defender that put himself in what is perhaps a bad position. Maybe that's a small distinction, but it seems to me that it's what makes the "rip" move just a little bit different than the rule exploits we're already familiar with. Still, one thing is for certain: Durant is going to use that rip move, and use it well, until the refs stop calling it, so defenders should be careful where they put their arms while guarding Durant."
Michael Pina of Shaky Ankles: "Because Durant is so talented—watching him flail his arms like some sort of secret handshake between him and the official, then being rewarded with one or two or three free-throws—is what makes this move so frustrating. Maybe it's greed talking. The greed of a ravenous basketball fan who enjoys watching elite scorers creatively sidestep the most complex defensive strategies in the known basketball universe. I want to see as much of that as possible, and the rip move steals precious possessions from right under my nose. The play should either be illegal or paid much less attention to by the referees."
Tom Haberstroh looking at holes in playoff teams: "By trading for Kendrick Perkins and Nazr Mohammed at the deadline, the Thunder filled a hole and made it a mountain. Looking at the depth chart, the only position that could be considered a soft spot is the 2-guard. But then we note that super-sub James Harden has averaged 16.6 points per game in March. As one exec relayed to me earlier this season, if the Thunder could swing a deal for a point guard good enough (Steve Nash?) to slide Russell Westbrook to the 2, watch out, NBA. Size of hole: Overstated." Move Westbrook to the 2? Yeah, I don't get that.
OKC's magic number for the division is at four.

Hey There,
Today is weigh in Wednesday! And I am happy to report that I only have 1 more pound to go!
I got a lot of questions asking me how I lost 66lbs and I am actually going to be making a detailed post later on this week with the exact specific workouts and meal plans, and detox system I used! So stay tuned for that.
Here's The Video:

she was the first one I saw do it), but I think it's a much more aesthetically pleasing position that butt-up position.
There was a GS poster who called it the Orbiting Uranus Spin
I love it!!
Back to Biellmann from Butt spins. I also think that Ashley has a very good Biellmann spin.
My favorite is Mao, with both her classic teardrop position and her one handed Biellmann. I also like Irina's, Mirai's and Adelina's Biellmanns.
As many have said, I would add Julia, but her spins are in a league of their own. That girl has amazing flexibility.
I agree that the skating leg should be straight. I much more prefer that non flexible girls don't do Biellmanns, because they can't get good positions. Other variations can look so much better for them. Yes, one of my favorite skaters Yuna is in this group. I never liked her Biellmann position, it looked too laboured.
However, before she stopped doing it she'd improved the position. To me her Biellmann at worlds in 2011 looked better than her Biellmann in Vancouver. It seemed slightly more extended at worlds...
^when Yulia was little...she used to do a classic Beillman like this. This was when she was barely 10yrs old
I'm with Kwanatic and don't even say what she does on her layback spin to be a true Beillman. I thought it was called a candle spin but Kwanatic says it is a needle spin which is named after the Rythmic Gymnastics move and that works for me. Honestly the closest thing to a Beilman she does is after her doughnut spin...right?
Radinova has a great Beillman...enjoy.
You should see it in motion though. The way she delays it is Her SP was my favorite last year and her Beillman is the last few seconds of her program. 3:34-3:44
I'm training/doing rythmic gymnastics on a pretty serious level and the only reason why I became THAT involved with skating is Julia.
When I first watched her programm, more by accident then, I thought " That spin looks just like the needle I'm doing!?" ( funny that it's the word needle in English as well :D ) and then I became a real fan of hers and when I found out that she aspired to be a rhythmic gymnast as a child as well I really got involved!
I have a lot of respect for her, beause we work on our flexibility ( only pure stretching ) aprox. 1,5 hours a day from the age of 3 here and we continue to stretch practically throughout the whole training session, since you're always contorting in some way at least.
But with figure skating there are so many other aspects she has to work on.... so I love how she has all those other skills AND the flexibility of a rhythmic !
I love Czisny's Biellmann; she maintains speeds and her center on ice.
I have never thought much of Liptnitskaia's, which seems designed for a circus side-show.
I've long had an appreciation for Shawn Sawyer, who was the first male figure skater I saw do that spin.
Girls with really good flexibility like Yulia and Proklova are able to just grab their shin and straighten all the way out instead of just grabbing the skate blade. If more girls could do it like that I am sure they would.

WAILUKU - Mayor Charmaine Tavares signed into law Tuesday a bill that makes it illegal to use a cellular phone or other mobile electronic devices while driving.
Tavares' action makes Maui County the last in the state to enact a cell phone ban.
"With more drivers on our roads than ever before and motorists increasingly using unsafe practices like texting while driving - we find ourselves joining the state's other counties in enacting this new law," Tavares said in a news release.
Article Photos
"I want to thank our public for their cooperation in helping to keep our community safe," she said.
The law makes an exception for drivers with commercial licenses and operators of registered fleet vehicles using two-way radios on the job, and drivers using a hands-free device such as a headset. Teenage drivers, first-time drivers and individuals holding a learner's permit are not be allowed to use a hands-free device while driving.
There is a maximum fine of $100 for a first offense and a maximum fine of $250 for every subsequent offense.
Maui County Council Committee of the Whole Chairman Mike Molina said he believes that the measure will enhance the safety of all residents.
"We hope this law will be a deterrence to those who choose to use their cell phones while driving, placing themselves and the rest of us in danger," he said.
Council Member Joe Pontanilla introduced the bill, and council members gave final approval on June 18.
For a copy of the new ordinance, call the Office of the County Clerk at 270-7748.
