I'm looking for a swivelimb tree stand if anyone has one for sale. I know the company went out of business years ago, thought someone on here might be able to help me out.
man sorry to here they went out of business, I got one but I aint gettin rid of it . I dont use it all the time but it sure is great when you need it.
What situations do you use yours in?
every once in a while I find a tree with a 45 degree angle or horizontal limb where a typical treestand won't work Takes a little getting use to
I use mine in large oak trees with branches large enough to use for a platform to stand on, and in trees with odd angle branches.
I'm keepin it.
Man, I wish I had one
once in a great while they'll show up on ebay
Hoytboy-I know a guy that has one, virtually unused, but he wants $300 for it. Seems high to me, but PM me if you're interested.
Had one, it got stolen out of the tree.It was great for the big horizontil branches of oaks . Had deer walking right under me and they never had a clue I was there.
Does anyone remember what they cost when they were still being sold?
they were $199 new.
my brother has one he will sell.i don't think he ever used it.
3d is right I paid 200$

Swivelimb 413 N Walnut Broken Arrow OK 74012(800)-909-LIMB
PM bucknrut
Hello guys, I'm glad to hear that there are so many fans of the SwiveLimb out there. I bought mine in '98 and I would have cut a finger off before I sold it. I have used it a lot around Oklahoma in places no other stand could go. You may be interested to know that they didn't go out of business because of an injury lawsuit or anything else like that. We formed a company called Quill Hunting Products and have re-introduced the SwiveLimb. The TMA (Treestand Manufacturer's Association, www.tmastands.com ) required us to add a standing platform. It has gone through extensive testing, received an attached adjustable platform and the hardware and strap have been upgraded. It is a TMA certified product. A two piece model consisting of a SwiveLimb and an aluminum leveling platform will be introduced this fall or early next spring. We have several other very innovative treestands in the works. If anyone is interested in purchasing one, ask your local archery shop to give us a call, or you can go to www.swivelimb.com They come with instructions, lineman-style full-body fall-restraint system. They retail for $269.
Thanks, Steve Quisenberry President Quill Outdoor Products
that stand looks identical as the old stand with the exception of the platform. thats a neat looking product but another one that is out of my price range. it makes me think of a stand i saw while hunting the other day, the lock on stand was at a severe angle so the person using it would be in a reclined position. I wondered how he could shoot out of that stand.
Wow glad to see there still in business I emailed them to see if I can attached to the one I already have

JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
I have several things going on with my 54" mower deck.
1. Front right support wheel has hit something like a tree, post, etc... and is pushed in a inch or so. The blade doesn't hit the inside of the deck. (thank you grandkids). How is the best way to straighten up this wheel bracket and also the top welds are broken loose.
2. The belt has been jumping of even prior to the grandkids attack on my wheel bracket. I see on e-Bay that bearings are available for $38ish. I want to put quality parts on if I need to rebuild the deck to stop the belt from jumping off, but I don't want to pay an arm and leg. Is there an aftermarket vendor that I can get spendels, bushing, washers, bolts, bearings etc.. Also does the decks use a race in the spindle for the bearings or not?
Does anyone have a good drawing of the 54" mower deck and parts with parts list? The one on the JD website parts section is so small I can see it.

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
Ive heard good things about the ebay bearings, i would give it a shot. you can put a bottle jack and a 2x4 on the inside of the deck to push the dent out to straiten the wheel. not sure on the race, someone will answer soon

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
The spindle bearings aren't tapered bearings, so they don't have separate races. Take the belt off and check each spindle (as well as the idlers) by hand for up/down play and side play; also, make sure the pulleys aren't bent in any way.

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
I just rebuilt my 54 deck on a 425. New bearings, belt, gearbox. At 900 hours the gearbox failed, and several of the bearings were rumbling, the belt (Looked good until I had it off) was cracking all over, and even had a 1/2" section missing on one side.
You can probably find the spindle bearings on line. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the bearing number, and the shop that pressed them out threw them out as I didn't want them.
Here's what I have for part numbers:
Belt M112269 $83.83
Spindle bearing M110008 $14.58 (need 6)
Spindle seal ET15755 $8.89 (need 6)
Spindle bushing M110008 0.71 (need 6)
Idler pulley AM106627 $18.76
Idler pulley AM37249 $17.05
Spindle bolts 03M7186 $0.51 (Need 12)
If any of the axles in the spindle are trashed:
Spindle axle M122465 $19.18
A few hints:
The bearings press outward from the center of the spindle. You cannot press the top bearing out through the bottom, or vice versa.
Take a photo of the belt path before you remove it.
Change the gearcase oil while it's apart. 90W gear oil.
You can also buy a complete spindle assembly for about $100.
Have fun. A good impact wrench is recommended.

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
I have the same issue with the fwd right wheel bent backwards, on mine the unsupported opening of the mower chute allows any repeated drag on the wheel to eventually bend it back. I concur on the use of a small bottle jack and a 2x4 to press it back to original shape. I'm thinking of welding a large 'L' bracket on the outside of the chute to add rigidity there, as it is an ongoing issue. Wouldn't necessarily blame the grandkids on that one.
You will need a small arbor press to press in all the bearings and seals, or take all the parts to a shop that has one.

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
i just fixed this on my 54" deck on my 455. I pushed it open with a bottle jack. Mine wanted to flex back but I made it work. In addition there is supposed to be a metal bracket that braces the opening. Mine didnt have it mounted when I purchased the tractor, but i have since installed it as it was in my spare parts box that came with the purchase.
See here: Working the Deere..bent deck?
second page of posts has the bracket that is supposed to be in the chute opening.

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
I would check your belt out before redoing your spindles. Sometimes as a belt wears it starts jumping off, at least I have had that happen to me. I would also shop around for belt prices although most everything on a 425 tends to be pricey.

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
I agree on the JD belts comment. I would shop various JD dealers though because when I first went looking for a belt for my 400, the local JD dealer wanted $90+ for it and then I found it on "Keeping it Green" for $46(same belt)...you may find a similar experience with the belt for the 425. I think some dealers feel they charge a little more for parts for discontinued tractors.

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
Thanks for all the info on repairing the guide wheel and deck, I will pull the deck off this evening and check it out.
I haven't bought a belt in two years but have found JD to the way to go. My local dealer has always been lower on cost than the internet guys. I believe in buying at home to help you neighbors when you can and I know the belts hold up better than the ones I have bought at Agri Supply.
I replaced my u-joint on the PTO drive shaft at the first of the summer and again my dealer beat the internet prices, even with out figuring in S&H. Before repairs to the drive shaft / U-Joint my shaft kept uncoupling and sometimes cause the belt to jump off. If there is any damage to a belt idler or pully this might very well be the cause. All one big WAG till I pull the deck and check it out but while having the U-joint shaft issue we didn't see any damage when making those repairs.
Stay tuned a report to follow. Thanks to all that replied, you guys are the best.

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
Update on my deck:
Last month one of the brackets that hold the front bail mount snapped off. (970 hours)I found the 2 rollers, but no luck on the bracket and shaft. So I found a decent used deck on Craigslist and jumped on it not knowing how well the repair on the busted mower shell would go, plus I needed something for a pattern. So $600 for the deck, $200 for welding repairs it needed, 3 new blades, belt, and rebuild the tensioner shaft. Drain and fill the gearbox. This time I bought a Stens belt, $50 on Ebay. We'll see how it holds up.
So a few comments for 54 deck owners:
Watch for cracks in the bogey wheel mounts, and the front mount brackets. The tensioner bushing is plastic, and will induce wobble when it wears. If you have belt tracking issues check this first.
While welding the cracks I had the guy make a bracket that spans the bottom of the chute out of 3/16 plate steel. Both my used decks came without it, and the local Deere dealer said the original was pretty thin and bent/broke readily. Should solve the bending issue of the right front of the deck.
I also had him weld reinforcing gussets on both front brackets. One had started to crack on this deck as well. Hopefully it's bulletproof.
Now to see if the welder can repair the first deck!

Re: JD 425 54" mower deck problem.
I was having the same problem with mine. You can read about it here:
Help! My Mower Is Covered With Crap!!
I purchased the JD Anti-Blowout kit, can't tell you the part number right now but I paid around 70 -80 bucks for it. It helped somewhat but didn't do as good of job as I had hoped. Actually, I'm pretty disappointed in John Deere for not addressing this better.

Late Wednesday night, reports began to surface that the iPhone 4 suffers from a number of technical issues; most notably a yellow discoloration of the screen and reception problems when the new device is held by its sides.
Those reports came from a few of the handful of people that got their iPhone 4s early, but with 600,000+ devices entering consumer's hands today, we'll soon get an idea for how widespread these issues might be.
Stores have now been open for a few hours and we figure at least some of our readers already have the new iPhone, so we thought we'd get to researching. Let us know in this (admittedly very unscientific) poll what issues — if any — you're experiencing so far with your device:

However, I want to be smart about it this time, ensuring I eat nutritionally, e.g. organs, and perhaps if you really want varier or fruit keep it to the way old LCers used to do it, i.e. keep it to a cup of berries with heavy cream as a treat now and again, not daily.
You know how you feel and works best for you, so you are the best to make a call.
And to the OP, yes, what the beard said is on point - I was VLC for about 6 months. It got stuff in line. Now I am far more liberal with my diet and it works. At first - nope I had to cut the carbs.

I guess there are some reasons to up carbs for exercise, but while a person still carries excess fat stores, they have the energy in that. They're just wearing the fat (or calories if you prefer) instead of eating them.
I figure there are only two good things about being overweight. One is that just walking is a weight bearing exercise, so your bones are stronger than the chronically thin. Second is that you almost never have to worry about starving to death. I've been there. You'll do great.
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
Today was a good day. I don't really expect a big "carb flu" b/c I haven't been eating a ton of carbs, but I know tomorrow and the next couple of days I will need to really make the effort to avoid sugar and starch. The craving is still there. It usually takes a week or so, and then I am over it.
I talked to my dad today and he is pretty in over his head diabetic. He was telling me how there is diabetes on both sides of his family, both of his siblings are diabetic and he is in bad shape. I know I inherited the gene, and I wonder if part of the deal is a sugar/carb addiction. There are seriously times when I am eating some sweet fruit like grapes that I MUST have more. I've never been addicted to a drug or anything, but I'd guess it sort of feels that way. Is it possible to break this for good? I don't know. It's always been such a struggle. It's not that I totally binge all the time on cake and pizza, the problem for me is that I am eating for reasons other than nourishment and hunger.
I want to eat for the reasons one should eat, and I am beginning to think that this is much more possible for me if I limit carbs. Like, maybe it's not all my fault? Maybe I'm not just weak or have horrible will power. Maybe there is a gene or something I've inherited that makes it hard for me to eat a "balanced" diet. Who knows. For now, I'm cutting out the carbs.
Today was eggs, meat, olive oil, a little cheese, lots of leafy greens.... i feel tired, but not bloated and no indigestion. I know tomorrow I'll wake up feeling like my system has processed everything I ate today.
One day at a time.....
Haha, you could be writing this straight out of my mind FireFinder! You'd think I'd be old enough and stroppy enough to follow my own path, but I keep comparing myself to others and deciding to do what they do . . . and that's just dumb!!

You sound like me, too. If I eat less fat, and replace those calories with fruit, I stay hungry compared to when I stay strict-er VLC. If I count calories and don't go over, yes, I won't gain weight. I'll also gnaw my fingers off when my blood sugar crashes. You don't have to sacrifice nutrition, either. Every few meals, have some berries, liver, oysters, greens, etc. Bacon is a great source of thiamine, for the record.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Days I stayed at my targeted calorie intake I was starving and watching the clock. I am terrible at being hungry. I don't mind a rumble in the tummy, but can't handle low blood sugar. The last few months I think I had a lot more days of eating to satiety which, because of the carb increase meant more calories. Good advice on the nutrition- I def need to work on liver. Really not my thing . But bacon yes, I can handle that. I love a little heavy cream too, just have to be careful about more than a tbs or two a day.

For years the Legislature has toyed with the idea of allowing early voting in South Carolina. Maybe the long lines during the November election will get the job done this year.
A bill outlining how early voting would be handled has made its way to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Under this plan, residents could cast ballots starting 10 days before an election. Local election officials would be required to set up at least one early voting center in each county.
Similar bills have inched their way through the Legislature in the past, but haven't made it to the finish line.
Voting should be a simple process. Certainly the process requires many checks and regulations, but the act of casting a ballot should be simple and encouraging. For many in Aiken County, it was anything but simple. There were reports of voters waiting as long as two hours to vote some precincts.
The problems in Richland County were even worse – there were reports of waits of six hours or more.
Across the state similar problems were reported.
It was enough to make fixing the problem a priority for our local delegations immediately after the Nov. 5 election.
Early voting is a simple solution and reports show it has been successful.
In Georgia, voters can begin voting three weeks before election day on the Saturday before election day. In the last election, nearly 2 million people took advantage of it. In North Carolina, which also has early voting, election officials said 60 percent of voters cast ballots early, keeping lines on election day shorter, The Associated Press reported.
It's time for the citizens of South Carolina to have the same option.

TRENTON — More than a year later, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma said he still blames one person for President Obama's re-election: fellow Republican Chris Christie.
Inhofe told The Oklahoman on Sunday that he'd "have a hard time supporting Chris Christie" should the New Jersey governor decide to run for the Republican nomination for president in 2016.
Speculation over Christie's potential presidential bid has risen greatly since his landslide re-election victory last week. Time magazine's recent issue explores whether he could be the savior of the national Republican party — a moderate who is able to attract votes from Democrats.
But Inhofe brushed aside a question about the governor's "crossover appeal."
"I can't think of a time in the history of my association with the Republican Party when that debate hasn't gone on," the senator said, according to the report. "I'm of the school that you've got to show a distinction between Democrats and Republicans. And in order to have the base energized, you've got to show that the party stands for something.
"Christie I still hold responsible for ... the re-election of Obama," he added.
Inhofe was asked if that's because of Hurricane Sandy.
"And the way he handled it, yeah," the senator said of Christie.
Christie drew the ire of some Republicans for his relationship Obama, a Democrat, after Hurricane Sandy hit. The president toured New Jersey in the wake of the storm, and Christie praised him for his reaction — days before Obama was up for re-election.
Inhofe was also one of the members of Congress who voted against the Sandy federal disaster aid package.

February 5, 2009, 01:04 PM
http://www.aimsurplus.com has accessories for the GSG-5. They have a forearm with 3 rails on it. You could attach any vertical grip to it.
February 5, 2009, 02:56 PM
That forearm will not fit the GSG5PK.
February 5, 2009, 03:19 PM
yes ive seen those for the gsg5 rifle but as quiet stated they will not fit the 5pk pistol, seems like they have alot of accessories for the rifle but not so much for the pistol, to new yet maybe ? and mags seem to be out of stock on every website i check, this is a great little gun though and makes for cheap high volume shooting
February 26, 2009, 10:33 PM
A Google Shopping search for "mp5k foregrip" will find you several aftermarket versions for under $50 - they require a slight modification to fit and leave a slight gap at the rear compared to the gsg grip but it is solid and will work fine, good luck!:evil:
March 7, 2009, 07:53 PM

"Any Other Weapon" is a category of regulated firearms under the National Firearms Act of 1934 -- the same law that required federal tax and registration of Machine Guns, Short Barreled Rifles, Short Barreled Shotguns, and Suppressors (Silencers...if you just can't resist calling them that), and Destructive Devices (grenades and such). "Any Other Weapon" is a catch-all category for such things as pen-guns, cane-guns, brief-case-guns (any gun designed not to look like a gun), SMOOTH-BORE pistols, and pistols with a forward vertical grip.
Your vertical grip is completely legal on an AR-15 or any other rifle.
If you buy a gun that is sold as a pistol (like the pistol version of a GSG, or the pistol versions of AKs or ARs) and put a forward-mounted vertical grip on it you've created an unregisterd AOW.
By the way, 99% of the entire reason that the "pistol" versions of GSGs, AR-15s, and AK-47s, etc., etc. were developed was because folks wanted to own a version that had shorter barrels than the legal 16" limit -- often as the original military version did -- and the only way to get that without registering it as a Short Barreled Rifle, was to build it on a receiver registered as a pistol and to never NEVER attach a butt-stock.
I have a strong feeling that the reason the railed version of the fore stock for the GSG rifle won't fit easily on the pistol version is to try and keep folks from easily making this mistake. Many, many, MANY folks don't know these laws very well and just perhaps, when Joe-New-GSG-Pistol-Owner buys one of the railed forarms, maybe he will call someone to find out why it doesn't fit his gun.

Thanks Sam, learned alot from you, Guess you better know the law with pistols....wonder if or how many have ever broke this law without knowing it until they got arrested.

I got mine on Ebay for $35! Its for an airsoft gun but its plenty tough and the gun doesn't kick enough to hurt it. The pin fits fine but I did have to put a homemade spacer underneath the barrel to keep it from wiggling too much. There is also a small gap as you can see but it looks so good it doesn't really bother me.
July 8, 2009, 06:53 AM
RIZLA816, have you read this thread carefully? Is your GSG now a registered "Any Other Weapon"?
Might not be too good an idea if that isn't the case. Sure wouldn't be posting pictures of it, either.

Gee's Bend in Wilcox County has made USA Today's list of the 10 Best Places to See Amazing Quilts.
The quilting tradition in the rural Black Belt community located on a large bend in the Alabama River dates back to the 1800s, and in recent years, the Gee's Bend quilts have been exhibited in art museums around the country and the world.
Here's what USA Today had to say about the Gee's Bend Quiltmaking Cooperative:
"The famed African-American quilting community of tiny Gee's Bend has been featured on U.S. postage stamps and in international museum exhibits. Visitors can meet the quilters and buy works from potholders to full-size, abstract fabric murals."
In Birmingham, Sew Gee's Bend, a Wilcox County-based store that sells quilts made by Claudia Pettway Charley and other Gee's Bend quilters, sells full-sized and miniature quilts, quilted handbags and potholders out of the Painted Shovel Mercantile store in Avondale.

Jake Odorizzi and two pitchers combined to allow Boston one hit in the Tampa Bay Rays 7-0 win on Saturday night.
Coming off a start Monday night in which he gave up a career-high eight runs over four innings in a 9-1 loss at Baltimore, Odorizzi (10-11) allowed a fourth-inning single to Will Middlebrooks, three walks and struck out seven over seven innings.
Jeff Beliveau and Kirby Yates completed the one-hitter. Tampa Bay set a single-season team record with its 18th shutout this year.
Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia was shaken up and removed from the game in the second inning. It appeared Pedroia was struck in the head by the arm of Logan Forsythe as the Rays infielder was sliding head-first into second while advancing on a flyball.
No additional details about Pedroia's injury were immediately available.

Bassin denies report on Otters' sale, move to Chatham-Kent
Sherry Bassin continues to deny reports of the Erie Otters' impending move to Ontario. First, it was Hamilton. Now, it's the Chatham-Kent region.
"Absolutely no truth to it," Bassin, the OHL club's managing partner and general manager, said in response to a Chatham-Kent Sports Network report Tuesday stating that a deal has been reached to sell the franchise to what the website called a "prominent local businessman."
Bassin previously has denied reports of the franchise's potential move to Hamilton, including a report that he has spoken with Michael Andlauer, owner of the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs, about purchasing the Otters.
"Everytime I turn around, I'm going to five different places," Bassin said.
According to the Chatham-Kent Sports Network report, an announcement regarding the Otters likely would be made following the Memorial Cup, the CHL's annual championship tournament, which begins Friday and runs through May 26 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Bassin said he continues to receive inquiries about the Otters.
"That's it," Bassin said, referring to not moving any closer to selling the franchise.

i heard far cry sucks ass and i saw screenshots and the graphics suck for my taste
For christmas I finally got red steel and I like it. I was worried by the countlees reviews slagging off the control system but when I came to play it I found it was exactly how I imagined a control system would work for a fps on the wiimote. Most the reviews don't slag off the far cry controls but slate the graphics (I don't care too much as I never played the xbox versions to compare it to) but I was wondering how they differ to the red steel ones. If I like the red steel controls will I hate the far cry ones or are they still intuitive and fun to use?
i heard far cry sucks ass and i saw screenshots and the graphics suck for my taste
Don't get Far Cry. COD3 has the best FPS controls of the shooters so far. Get that.
Add me please, I need friends on my Wii. Just PM me if you add me so I can add you back. Thanks.
I played both red steel n cod3 n I ended up liking the red steel controls better after I got used to both of them. I hope future fps games will be similar to red steel controls

The driver, Nix, was charged then released pending his court hearing, and Harris, the passenger, posted bail and was released, police said.

It's finally Andrew and Aaron Harrison's turn in the spotlight at CoachCal.com, and Eric Lindsey does not disappoint. Andrew calls their first week on campus "an amazing experience," and says he can't wait to get on the court with the rest of his team. The two say they're used to people lumping them together as "the Harrison Twins," but Aaron admits that sometimes, "it would be more helpful to us if people knew us apart." So far, the only way we've been able to tell them apart is Andrew has slightly longer hair, but if you read their CoachCal.com bios, there are so more differences. Here are a few things they disagree on...

Wounded veteran gets mortgage-free Dormont house
PITTSBURGH -- Many soldiers enjoy warm homecomings. Tyler Schell received the keys to his first home.
"I've never been a homeowner. I've always lived in apartments," Schell, 23, a retired Army specialist, said Thursday as he surveyed the empty living room of his newly renovated Dormont house. "It's hard to believe it is happening until you wake up here a couple of times."
Wells Fargo Home Mortgage partnered with Texas-based Military Warriors Support Foundation to provide Schell the mortgage-free house on McFarland Road through the Homes 4 Wounded Heroes program, which helps military personnel wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"They approached us about the program, and we signed up," said Tyler Smith, Wells Fargo's vice president of REO Community Development in Des Moines.
Since the partnership began in 2011, Wells Fargo has donated 28 bank-owned properties to wounded veterans nationwide. The foundation has awarded more than 300 homes.
Schell's is the first house donated in Pennsylvania.
Allegheny County tax records value Schell's two-bedroom Cape Cod home at $80,200. Wells Fargo paid almost $40,000 for repairs and upgrades, Smith said, including a remodeled kitchen, new boiler, paint and carpeting.
Schell will be responsible for paying property taxes and home insurance, Smith said. Military Warriors will turn over the deed in three years, per program policy.
Schell plans to move in next week when his possessions arrive from San Antonio. The Sharon native has lived there since coming stateside with wounds from a roadside bomb that exploded in September 2009 in Wardak province, Afghanistan. Thirty percent of Schell's body was burned when he was trapped in a burning vehicle.
Another explosion injured Schell's brother, Guy, 36 hours later in the same province.
They deployed to Afghanistan together in January 2009 as part of the 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment of the 10th Mountain Division.
Both received Purple Hearts for their combat injuries and recognition by Homes 4 Wounded Heroes.
Guy Schell's home will be in West Palm Beach, Fla., his wife's hometown.
"He's getting a place and truly deserves it. But I thought there was no way we would both get it," said Guy Schell Jr., 27. "I cannot say enough how much they've helped us out. They've done us a great deed."
Tyler Schell plans to pursue an education in architecture at a Pittsburgh-area university.

The Saugus girls soccer team knows winning a third straight Foothill League title will be no easy task.
But in the Foothill League opener for the Centurions and Canyon on Tuesday at Canyon High School, Saugus made things a little easier for itself.
The Centurions back line lived up to its preleague hype, allowing the Cowboys just one shot on goal en route to a 2-0 victory in the league opener for both teams.
Saugus (13-2-1) jumped out to an early lead when the Cowboys tried to clear the ball out of the box, but the Centurions were able to hold the ball in before it deflected to the feet of Alana Shaw.
Shaw sent the ball out of the air from 18 yards out and beat Canyon goalkeeper Meghan Kennedy top right for a 1-0 lead six minutes into the contest.
And it would seem taking a quick 1-0 lead was exactly what the Centurions would have hoped for.
But then again — maybe not.
"Sometimes it can be a double-edged sword," said Saugus head coach Natalie Helgeson of teams becoming complacent after taking an early lead. "It was a very dangerous score to have. I've had games that you score in the first 30 seconds and the other team equalizes quickly."
It was clear Saugus wasn't about to relax, though, as it continued to push the attack and nearly scored the game's second goal minutes later when Shaw sent a pass into the box that was just out of the reach of teammate Maddie Reinsma.
But in the 23rd minute, the Centurions were able to find the back of the net again.
Stacy Atwater sent the ball ahead to Avery Schulhofer who beat the defender down the right side of the penalty box and chipped the ball in for a 2-0 lead.
Despite the offense's early production, it was the defense of Saugus that was most impressive.
Goalkeeper Madi Hebert faced just one shot on goal in the game, but made a beautiful save when a ball deflected off of her and to the feet of Canyon's Alissa Mungia.
Mungia tried to kick the ball over the prone Hebert, but the sophomore rose to her feet just in time to make the save before Canyon kicked the ensuing rebound over the touch line for a goal kick.
"(Hebert's) extraordinarily focused for such a young kid," Helgeson said. "You want to bottle that and sell it. Even though she didn't have many opportunities, she's never going to lose focus."
And those qualities extend to the entire Centurion back line.
Led by senior Serena Smith-Banas, Saugus seemed to be first to the ball and held strong when Canyon would try to advance into the attacking zone.
"Confidence in your defenders, every team should build with that," Helgeson said. "They transition well, they get back ... we have faith in our defense."
For Canyon, head coach Andy Pringle felt like his team failed to play up to its potential.
"They were a little intimidated for two reasons," he said. "Playing the first game of league against the team that went 10-0 (last season) ... I could feel something wasn't right today (before the match). We were never in it, simple as that.
"I felt we didn't play at all to our strengths and didn't test their back four."
Canyon will try to play up to its potential in its next match when it travels to play Valencia on Friday at 5 p.m.
Saugus will host Hart on Friday at 3:15 p.m.

By Edward A. Hartnett
Several years ago — before Chris Christie was elected governor, before Stuart Rabner was named chief justice, before Roberto Rivera-Soto joined the Supreme Court of New Jersey — I wrote an article in the Seton Hall Law Review arguing that the New Jersey Constitution permits the chief justice to temporarily assign a Superior Court judge to the state Supreme Court only when the court would otherwise lack a quorum. Earlier this year, Rutgers-Camden law professor Earl Maltz examined the issue and reached the same conclusion.
Persuaded by this argument, Justice Rivera-Soto has not only objected to Chief Justice Rabner's temporary assignment of Judge Edwin Stern to the court, but decided to abstain from voting in cases heard by an unconstitutionally constituted court. In response, Justice Barry Albin has accused Justice Rivera-Soto of putting himself above the law, claiming that the rule of law requires adherence to decisions made by a majority of the court. Senators have called for Justice Rivera-Soto to resign or be impeached. Robert Williams, also of Rutgers School of Law in Camden, fears that the court may tear itself apart.
As the person whose scholarly work lies at the root of this dispute, I feel a responsibility to speak out. My point here is not to argue for the correctness of my interpretation. Those interested can read all 33 pages and 121 footnotes in the Seton Hall Law Review.
To Justice Albin: It is hardly unprecedented for judges to refuse to accede to precedents with which they strongly disagree. This has happened not only in such hot-button areas as the death penalty, where Justices William J. Brennan Jr. and Thurgood Marshall continuously adhered to their view — rejected over and over again by the majority — that the death penalty was always unconstitutional, but in more mundane areas as well. Justices David Souter and John Paul Stevens, for example, adhered to their view — rejected over and over again by the majority — that Congress can use its Commerce Clause power to abrogate state sovereign immunity.
It is not even unprecedented for a judge to refuse to vote on the merits of a category of cases: Justice Felix Frankfurter refused to vote on the merits of Federal Employers Liability Act cases, believing that his colleagues were wrong to be deciding to hear them. Justices Brennan, Marshall, Souter, Stevens and Frankfurter did not put themselves above the law or undermine the rule of law by these actions.
To Justice Rivera-Soto: There is no need to abstain from all decisions. Judges have commonly reiterated their adherence to views rejected by the majority, but nevertheless gone on to engage the rest of the case as well. Indeed, by abstaining, you increase rather than decrease the harm caused by the constitutional violation. You run the risk that a decision of the Appellate Division that would be reversed, 4-3, with your participation will instead be affirmed, 3-3, without it. If the House of Representatives were to unconstitutionally permit someone to vote as a member of that body, would it be wise for other members to abstain from all votes before the House?
To Gov. Chris Christie and state Senate President Steve Sweeney: Each of you has the power (or will within a few weeks) to break this impasse and prevent the court from tearing itself apart. The Senate can act on the nomination of Anne Patterson.
The governor, once the Senate adjourns for the year, can fill the vacancy on the court with a recess appointment, an appointment that would expire at either the end of the next session of the Senate or upon the confirmation of a permanent justice.
To all: Please remember the words of Lord John Russell, invoked by Woodrow Wilson: "Every political constitution in which different bodies share the supreme power is only enabled to exist by the forbearance of those among whom this power is distributed."
Edward A. Hartnett is the Richard J. Hughes professor for constitutional and public law and service at Seton Hall University.

ATLANTA — The economy may well be the best form of birth control.
U.S. births dropped for the third straight year — especially for young mothers — and experts think money worries are the reason.
A federal report released Thursday showed declines in the birth rate for all races and most age groups. Teens and women in their early 20s had the most dramatic dip, to the lowest rates since record-keeping began in the 1940s. Also, the rate of cesarean sections stopped going up for the first time since 1996.
Experts suspected the economy drove down birth rates in 2008 and 2009 as women put off having children. With the 2010 figures, suspicion has turned into certainty.
"I don't think there's any doubt now that it was the recession. It could not be anything else," said Carl Haub, a demographer with the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington, D.C.-based research organization. He was not involved in the new report.
U.S. births hit an all-time high in 2007, at more than 4.3 million. Over the next two years, the number dropped to about 4.2 million and then about 4.1 million.
Last year, it was down to just over 4 million, according to the new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For teens, birth rates dropped 9 percent from 2009. For women in their early 20s, they fell 6 percent. For unmarried mothers, the drop was 4 percent.
Experts believe the downward trend is tied to the economy, which officially was in a recession from December 2007 until June 2009 and remains weak. The theory is that women with money worries — especially younger women — feel they can't afford to start a family or add to it.
That's true of Mary Garrick, 27, an advertising executive in Columbus, Ohio. She and her husband, David, married in 2008 and hoped to start having children quickly, in part because men in his family have died in their 40s. But David, 33, was laid off that year from his nursing job and again last year.
He's working again, but worries about the economy linger. "It kind of made us cautious about life decisions, like having a family. It's definitely something that affected us," she said.
Kristi Elsberry, a married 27-year-old mother of two, had a tubal ligation in 2009 after she had trouble finding a job and she and her husband grew worried about the financial burden of any more children.

I am a man in my 50s. I have had two jobs in my life. Neither one of them has provided me with any type of health insurance benefits. I go to the doctor when I am sick and I practice good preventive health care by watching my diet, not smoking and not drinking to excess. I pay the doctor and other providers as I go.
I have a small home with a small mortgage and no car payment. Twenty-seven years ago I started an IRA that I fund on my own. At the end of the month after I pay all my bills I put a small amount in savings. I choose not to buy health insurance because I cannot afford to do so. The extra $325 a month is out of reach for me and I am fine with that. Not struggling to try and pay for the cost is my choice. If something happens to me I will deal with it at the time. Again, my choice.
If Obama's Affordable Health Care Act remains intact and is not overturned by the Supreme Court, I want to know how I am going to pay for it. I want to know why I, who has never been on any type of government assistance, collected one day of unemployment and pay for everything as I go, will now have to try and pay for something I cannot afford. How is that fair, just and more importantly, constitutional? My taxes, when it's all said and done, already amounts 40 percent. When you add up federal, state, local, FICA, real estate taxes, sales taxes and tax on gasoline I only get to keep 60 percent of what I make. Many of those taxes go to pay for things I totally disagree with as well. And since 48 percent of the people in the country pay no taxes at all, I'm paying somebody else's way also. Ridiculous.
If Obamacare stays, the feds will police it using the IRS. If at the end of the year, you cannot prove that you have bought and paid for your government mandated health insurance, they will fine you. That fine will be tacked onto your federal tax return. If your refund is less than your fine, penalties and interest will accrue until it's paid. If it's not paid standard IRS rules will apply and you will be subject to further fines and or imprisonment. This is buried in the 2,700-page health care document that Nancy Pelosi said we had to pass so we could see what's in it. Real transparent, huh?
Is this what people thought they were getting when they voted for Obama? Is this the hope and change people expected? Is this the health care reform people thought they were getting? This is, and never has been, about health care. It's simply a way for this administration to exercise more control over the taxpayers. Nothing could be more absurd. Nothing could be more unlawful.
-- Rod Zeck, Newton Falls

Which one is used more in UFC/ street fights?
Gracie Jiu jitsu or Brazilian jiu jitsu? The Gracie Humaita or the Gracie Barra? And which one is better?
Both suck in street fights. In my opinion the rear naked choke is the only submission that will work. That said iv never been in a street fight and used JJ so i am speaking purely on opinion and not knowledge.
PRIDE rules. Face stomps.
First rule of a street fight: Never go to the ground unless there are no people around or mostly just your friends around. I've only seen someone try a triangle and arm bar in a street fight. Both instances resulted in the person applying the triangle/arm bar getting kicked and stomped in the head.
I was involved in 4 street fights/ bar fights in 2011 and not once did I ever fight someone who used any form of JJ on me. Almost all of them were kept standing. So, boxing would be your answer.
I've watched countless street/bar fights as well and they are almost always kept standing. Unless I am fighting for my life I would rather keep it standing anyways, funner for both parties and as an amateur boxer I usually have the advantage.
Kickboxing/Muay Thai are the best by far in a street fight. Keep your hands up/chin tucked and try land the first big shot then Wanderlei Silva their ass.
Muay thai. Any BJJ is nearly useless in a streetfight. NHB means biting fish hooking small joint manipulation sharp objects multiple opponents all of which compromise BJJ skills.
I would advise you learn Muay Thai or boxing while being able to throw in some dirty tactics. I like muay Thai because of kicks elbows and knees.
I learn boxing but i wanna break a group of guys arms at my school. they're a bunch of wannabe ass gangbangers and they only dress like that because our school is safe.
Stop watching tv for a while dude and try to get your hands on some good herbs...

Standard flex, 6 pts all TDs, No PPR, start 3 receivers out of 5, can play a 4th WR at flex if needed
Currently have:
1. R White
2. M Austin
3. S Moss
4. J Knox
5. J Jones
M Crabtree was dropped to WW today. I like J Jones as a sleeper and Crabtree/A Smith have a lot of issues thus far. Should I take a chance on Crabtree and get rid of J Jones or S Moss or Knox? Thanks for any input.
4 replies , Last at 17 Sep 2010, 5:59pm by fantasy1123
Of course you should add Crabtree. Jones is the guy to cut if those are your options.
Yes. Definitely.
Pick up Crabtree. If you have no other options to drop (extra D, TE, or a backup QB if your starter is a stud) then drop Jones. With that lineup, there is very little chance that Jones would ever start for you. Crabtree might, and could be very good.
Thanks for the input. I dropped Jones for Crabtree. The rest of my roster spots are mandatory.

When the world was shutting up shop during the summer of 2008, we decided to start our PR consultancy firm in Dubai, UAE. We have survived the downturn and are raring to leap ahead in the world of communications.
The first challenge on hand seemed even bigger than the global economic crisis - the name. What should we call our firm and why. It was like naming a newborn baby. How would it reflect our personality and who we are? Will it ring a bell when people hear it? Finally, after mulling over several options, we decided to call ourselves – 'White Water Public Relations'.
Prem Ramachandran, Founder and Chief Storyteller,

All our clients have two things in common - their compelling story and us as the storytellers.
We don't restrict ourselves to specific sectors and categories; instead we focus on our client's story. White Water PR Dubai works as a trusted partner to organizations that value a comprehensive, thoughtful and creative approach to their communication challenges. Some of the brands that we have worked with are:

White Water PR is a vibrant workplace and not a boring 9-6 destination. We don't believe in Sunday morning blues (we have a Friday - Saturday weekend in this part of the world). We respect our employees and our ecosystem enables them to grow organically up the ladder and effortlessly blend into our corporate fabric. Personal development is absolutely paramount and we lend our support to ensure that it happens on a daily basis. Take our word for it.
Fun is integral to our corporate philosophy. Employees can enjoy a concert, shows or any sporting event, white water rafting or anything that they may want to explore - this is sponsored by the company once in a year. White water rafting will be encouraged more - no brownie points for guessing why.
First we came across a book titled 'You are what you eat'. Fine enough. Then we came across another book - 'Eat what you love and love what you eat'. We found the title of the second book more appealing. Needless to say - we are foodies. We love to eat (we burn it out as well). We strongly believe in team luncheons which are a great way to bond and exchange non-agenda viewpoints.
Work Life balance is an art. It does take time for people to develop those set of skills. We are flexible and we like everyone to strike the right balance or else it won't be fun anymore- in work or life. Simple.
This is a platform where we air our views and engage with our community. We have kept our blog crisp and to the point as we don't like to beat around the bush.
The mission of 'Water2022', a not-for-profit initiative by White Water PR, is to save billions of litres of water in the next 10 years and generate awareness across the globe. We reached out to different communities in UAE on World Water Day on March 22nd 2013. This signature campaign was conducted to generate awareness amongst various communities and get them to make a promise and make a difference to the world in their own way.

This year, at MIX '11, we debuted the first annual Niney Awards. The goal of this celebration was to honor the Channel 9 community and have that community vote for the winners that they feel best deserve an award. There are guest appearances by all your Channel 9 favorites like Scott Hanselman, Scott Guthrie, Joe Belfiore and TONS more. Sit back and enjoy the show!
Oops, something didn't work.
Congrats to all the winners!
Ah, the memories...
I'm finally in a Channel9 video.
@Bas: I have to say that was an awesome night all right. Got to meet a ton of intelligent and interesting people, hang out all night with Charles, Michael, Paul, Nikita and Bas (the other Niners got separated or crashed early due to jet lag or having to work in the morning)! I want you all to know I loved every minute of it, and I'll look back at it all as one of the greatest experiences of my life. Bas: It's still a win .... Special thanks to Laura, who is as awesome in person, and who had the idea in the first place. I <3 Channel9!
I finally got around to watching this yesterday. A bit cheesy, but considering that its the first Niney Awards, hey, that's to be expected. Over all, I really liked it! It introduced me to other podcasts and blogs that I wasn't aware of and will check out. I hope this continues.

Balsa Foam is the amazing plastic foam that carves like butter and paints like wood. It's ideal for sculpting and model making because it can be carved, chiseled, sawed, textured, or embossed with sharp-edged detail.
Like balsa wood, it accepts virtually any kind of spray or brush-applied paint. Use a water-based finishing medium to seal the foam and harden the surface. Unlike other plastic foams, Balsa Foam does not expand, contract, or warp at temperatures below 350°F (177°C).
Balsa Foam II is the same as Balsa Foam, but with 10 lb (per cubic foot) density. This higher density results in a more durable model, yet Balsa Foam II is still easy to carve and shape. It's great for 3-dimensional model making.

No Better Carving Foam
By Norp
from Martinsville, IN
Comments about Amaco Balsa Foam II:
I have used Balsa Foam in the past, but this time decided to try Balsa Foam II. Wow! It is easy to shape but far more durable. This is a fantastic carving foam. The improved version has allowed me to greatly improve the number of applications.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dick Blick is the Best!
By Spirit NY
from Westchester County, NY
This product is wonderful for sculpting and for teach sculpture. I will be using it in my classes. I also want to add that I have been ordering from Dick Blick for years. They have always been top notch, have solid values, a broad range of materials, and excellent customer service. I have never had a problem with returns either. I use them for all of my art materials, and will continue to do so.
Balsa-Foam Confusion
By TheTrainDave
from Delta, BC, Canada
Last time I ordered this product, there was (as listed on the Blick site) Balsa-Foam 1 (7 lb), 2 (12 lb) and 3 (20 lb).I ordered Balsa-Foam 2 - and received Balsa Foam HARD DENSITY.Checking the manufacturers site, they seem to now just have a SOFT and a HARD choice.Anyway, it is still a great and very useful product, but maybe Blick should change their site to match what you actually get to avoid confusion!

Pretty Useful
By Rach
from Ontario, Canada
I needed a high density foam that could be carved without heat tools. This worls great, although yes it get's dusty. Compared to any florist foam, it is about as dusty as that. But nothing a vaccuum won't fix! It is crisp and hard, but easy to cut. Most details show up pretty well. I used them to carve life-size weapons for a fun zombie-protection kit. As soon as they are sealed and painted, they are hard and durable.

FANTASTIC product, great price!
By Cult of Personality Productions
from Street, Maryland
I have been using this product for OVER ten years now, but Blick is THE best place to get it! Like "Kleenex" or "Coke", Balsa Foam is used to describe ALOT of different products, but the ORIGINAL by Amaco has proven the old adage "You get what you pay for", although currently with the discount, you get MORE than you pay for! As with ANY material there IS a learning curve (I remember damaging a sheet just removing the shrink wrap) but as advertised, easily carved, INCREDIBLE at holding detail, biggest drawback is it will oxidize metal tools if you don't clean them after use and the dust gets EVERYWHERE and is very dense creating a heavy load for your dustbuster's motor.
By Cap'n Carl
from Albany, OR
I needed an easier way to make a 1/72 scale ship's hull...previously I had used a styrene frame filled with polyurethane resin. Along comes Balsa-Foam: I watched a few tutorials on YouTube, then decided to try it. In my opinion, it's reasonably priced (at least for my application); easy to work with, doesn't crumble, and is light. The hull came out perfectly - I would recommend this product for just about everybody. Make sure you watch those tutorials before you begin your project. One caveat: if you use white glue to join two pieces, make sure you don't get the glue where you'll be shaping or sanding - it's VERY difficult to work with. One more thing: I clad the ship's hull with .030 styrene...I found a hot glue gun works beautifully ( again, don't get glue on the outside edges; and make sure your part is exactly where you want it, as set-up time is measured in nanoseconds!)

Expensive - avoid if possible
By David

Really expensive. The larger the size the larger the rip-off. Also very messy - even moistened. Avoid if at all possible.OVERPRICED.

I use it all the time
By Corrine the sculptress

Great product that is easy to carve and sand. Holds crisp lines and details. Only drawback is that it the dust must be thoroughly cleaned or it rusts your steel tools!

Don't buy
By Long time Art Teacher
from Fort Myers, Florida
Very frustrating for the students to carve. Very brittle like potatoe- chip. Horrible dust made it impossible to use around kids with breathing problems. Don't buy!
Merchant response: We are sorry to hear you did not have a satisfying experience with this product. The Balsa Foam is AP Non-Toxic, but it can be dusty. The makers of the product recommend moistening the block with water before carving to reduce the amount of dust created. If you ever have specific questions regarding our products or how to use them, please contact our Product information department at email@example.com or by calling (800) 933-2542. Our product specialists will be happy to help you with questions about art materials, product applications, and techniques.

Balsa foam 2
By Otto the Castle builder
from Westerville Ohio
Great material to work with, I use it for scratch building castles. Carves like wood, only easier to work with. Bonds great with carpenters wood glue. The only drawback is it sheds foam dust, so its a bit messy to work with until the surface is sealed. Takes paint very well.

`The Marines Have Captured Grenada'
Oh, say can you see?
The ships on the sea
And an island so small is surrounded
And paratroopers land
With guns in their hands:
The Marines have captured Grenada.
Jets attack from the sky
A sovereign country
Destroying hospitals with bombs
The radio station
Will not speak again:
The Marines have captured Grenada.
Like Nazis they came
Six thousand Marines and Rangers
To start an occupation
To crush democracy
With heavy artillery:
The Marines have captured Grenada.
To cover their war crimes
They broadcast many lies
And people who resist they do slaughter
International law
They choose to ignore:
The Marines have captured Grenada.
The bully of the world
He has struck again
Like Hitler, he fears all revolt
To keep their empire
They'll do it again:
The Marines have captured Grenada.
But Grenada fights on
With selfless Cubans
And resists deep inside the mountains
And Nicaragua
Will not surrender:
The Marines have captured Grenada.
The Fascists again
Imperialist Uncle Sam
Have used War to smash Revolution
But people now see
What free enterprise means:
The Marines have captured Grenada.
To listen to "The Marines Have Captured Grenada" folk song, you can click on following music site link:
This protest folk song was written shortly after the Pentagon's October 1983 invasion of Grenada following the death of Grenadian revolutionary leader Maurice Bishop.
In his introduction to In Nobody's Backyard: Maurice Bishop's Speeches 1979-1983 [Memorial Volume], former Grenada Attorney General Richard Hart wrote:
"…To what extent the American Central Intelligence Agency participated in the events leading up to the killing of Bishop is not yet clear. That `agents provocateurs' were at work in Grenada is evident from the crowd of…placards. Some read `C is for Coard, Cuba, Communism.' The involvement of the CIA in the removal of political leaders disliked by the U.S. government is too well established for the probability that its agents had a hand in the events leading to Bishop's death to be discounted…"
On April 17, 1982 Grenadian revolutionary leader Bishop had noted that "we know that the CIA has direct access to over 200 newspapers" and "we also know that it puts out its Bi-Weekly Propaganda Guidance to radio stations right through our continent.." A month before the Pentagon's October 1983 invasion of Grenada, Bishop also observed:
"In February this year…the Washington Post carried this long article disclosing a CIA plot against us under Carter and again under Reagan. It seems that Carter approved propaganda, Reagan approved economic aggressions, and on top of the propaganda also added what they called certain unusual and unspecified components. I assume it means assassinations, etc…." (Downtown 10/26/94)

However, on Tuesday, Wilson was able to make his intention to join the Limestone College football program final.
Hes a bright young man, a hard worker and I think hes got a big upside in college, Silver Bluff head coach Al Lown said. He can grow into playing several positions. He can play outside linebacker; he can play in the slot. He has enough natural ability as far as catching the ball and athleticism that hell have a wide range of options on where he can play up there.
Wilson played as a tight end for most of his time at Silver Bluff and added the role of outside linebacker in his senior season with the Bulldogs. Lown said his absence on the field was possibly the most detrimental to the defense in the state championship game. However, the game did give the head coach a chance to see what it would be like without Wilson, a situation he isnt looking forward to in the upcoming season.
I could always count on him at tight end, Lown said. It was really hard on me in the state championship game when Im looking out there, and he wasnt there. Im going to miss the comfort zone of having him out there at tight end for three years.
Wilson said hell miss Lown, his teammates, coaches and the community at Silver Bluff but is excited for the opportunity to make an impact at Limestone.
The Saints will be taking the field for the first time this season. The program started in 2012, and though they had a full roster last season, the year was spent practicing and building in preparation for the 2014 year. Limestone will compete as a Division II independent school but does have an agreement with the South Atlantic Conference to play eight games against teams from the conference.
To know that I can go there and make history and set records because its the first season, thats an awesome feeling right there, Wilson said. Ill always be a member of that first group of players to touch the field at Limestone.
Wilson chose Limestone over Paine College, another school set to join the Division II ranks in the 2014. He said it felt right when he visited the school located in Gaffney. The school also features other talent from the CSRA including former Bulldog LaDarise Williams, who signed to play there last year.
Me and (LaDarise) are real good friends, and I figured if hes having a good time there, it must be a good place. So I decided to join him, Wilson said. Since hes been there a year already, he can show me some things and teach me stuff.
Wilson plans to major in pre-physical therapy while in school and hopes to be a physical therapist for college athletes at a university. Always eager to learn, Wilson said he was taking note of the things his physical therapist would do as he recovered from his injury. His time rehabbing strengthened his desire to go into the field.
When I was there I was paying attention to how he did things and how he interacted with people, and I saw that I could get use to doing that, Wilson said. I love sports. I just want to stay surrounded by sports.
