Hall of Fame in 2001.
Endowed Scholarships
Vanderbilt is fortunate to have a number of loyal and generous supporters who
have endowed 29 athletic scholarships, including one funded by employees of
the Vanderbilt Athletic Department. They are annually awarded to student-athletes
named by the Vanderbilt Director of Athletics and coaches.
Community Involvement
Vanderbilt student-athletes have volunteered countless hours to the Vanderbilt
campus and the Nashville community. Some organizations benefiting from Vanderbilt's
volunteers are: Adopt-A-School Program, Ronald McDonald House, D.A.R.E., Big
Brothers and Big Sisters and Special Olympics. Student-Athlete Advisory Board
The Student-Athlete Advisory Board
(SAAB) consists of one representative from every varsity team. The board meets
monthly to communicate with the administration on issues affecting all student-athletes.
Academic Support Program
The Academic Support Program assists student-athletes in reaching their full
potential both in and out of the classroom. Some of the components include the
availability of a professional tutoring staff, constant monitoring of the student-athlete's
progress, and development of a balanced individual time schedule that incorporates
the student-athlete's commitments in the classroom, on the field, and within
his or her social realm.
Tolbert Cup
The Tolbert Cup is awarded to the Vanderbilt team that excels in community service,
academic excellence, team winning percentage, and individual accolades. It is
named in honor of Ryan Tolbert, Vanderbilt's first NCAA National Champion (400m
Career Playbook

is mailed to over 100 leading businesses. The resumes are extensive and include
a letter of reference from Director of Athletics Todd Turner and local business
leaders that have interacted with the student-athletes.
Career Development
The Vanderbilt athletic department works with the campus Career Center in a
cooperative effort to prepare students for rewarding careers and productive
lifestyles after their time at Vanderbilt. Among the programs offered are: Career
Testing, Campus Interviews, Career Exploration & Counseling, Job Search Skills,
Internships/Summer Job Programs, and Job Placement.
Student-Athlete Employment Program
Vanderbilt has established a year-round Student-Athlete Employment Program that
serves as a means to provide financial resources in the form of employment opportunities
for eligible student-athletes. This also gives them some 'real-world' experiences
as well as career exploration.

(evidenced by the fact that nearly half of the school's graduates proceed to
graduate school) and a friendly, laid-back atmosphere."
- The Princeton Review
Strength and Conditioning
The goal of the Vanderbilt Strength and Conditioning staff is to help individuals
improve their athletic performance and minimize the potential for injury. They
create workouts not only specific to the sport but to the individual athletes
as well. The staff also creates year-long workout programs tailored around a
student-athlete's class schedule. This allows for a great deal of one-on-one
Sports Medicine
Thanks to a joint venture between the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and
the Vanderbilt athletic department, every Commodore athlete receives first-rate
treatment in the McGugin Center athletic complex. The newly designed 4,300-square
foot facility houses a rehabilitation pool, a staff of 20 trainers & doctors,
and separate areas for taping & treatment/rehabilitation.
Hendrix Room
Majid (Magic) Noori might be the most publicized chef in all of athletics, and
is definitely tops when the subject is collegiate training tables. He has been
recognized nationally by ESPN The Magazine, Sports Illustrated for Women, and
CBS This Morning. Sports Illustrated recognized his Hendrix Room athletic dining
facility as the nation's best twice in the last 10 years.
CHAMPS/Life Skills
The CHAMPS/Life Skills Program (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)
represents the comprehensive commitment by Vanderbilt's athletic department
to foster the total growth and development of the student-athletes. The program
includes a number of projects and workshops that aid student-athletes in day-to-day

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I had the same plants in a 10g with the lights if came with. Those are all low-mid light plants, but you may find the ludwigia may lose any red it might have if the light is low. It still grew quickly for me. The leaves closest to the light got a very pretty blush in my tank.
Java fern and dwarf sag will have no problems.
Have you considered anubias? They add lovely contrast in leaf shape and texture, and they are very low light plants.
Vals, such as corkscrew and italian vals, are great in the background.
And crypts are a very popular choice for mid-height plants, and there are tons to choose from. The most common ones grow well in low light. If you look at the Sell/Trade forum, you'll see what people have available and what they look like. Choose the ones you like best.
I like using Flourish for ferts. I'm lazy and not interested in dosing schedules or exact amounts, so I add a few drops every week. For crypts, root tabs are good.
Maybe an idea?
I think I might have a beginning game plan... What are everyones thoughts on this.
Ludwigia Repens in the back corners, a java fern(maybe two) in the back middle, and then Dwarf Sagittaria in a half circle from the front corners back.
I may be wrong, but these should do alright in low light and no co2?
I might end up adding ferts if needed. What is recommended and what schedule for dosing?
I second dwarf sag. I have some growing all over the bottom of a 29g. It's a tall tank AND it's using the ancient hood and light that came with it. It's very low light and still dwarf sag does well with minimal ferts and of course no co2. I do have eco-complete substrate though. I don't like it so much though.
Since my 29g is lush even though it's very low light and low tech, I'll go through what I have. Even with the basic stock light on a 10g, you will get brighter light than my 29g gets, so whatever I'm growing will certainly work for you.
My anubias are putting out new leaves all the time and the crypts I have are doing very well. I think I have 5 species of crypts.... All the common ones I found on this forum that folks were selling because they had surplus. They put out new leaves constantly, but I do use root tabs for them. It's a basically a small rock of fertilizer you stick under the plants (like crypts) in the substrate, and it slowly releases the fertilizer over time. I think 3 months of something. Jungle vals also do well.
If you go through the nano tank forum you will find lots of stocking ideas for your tank. I am a big fan of a small schooling species with one centerpiece.
|Is that without CO2 and heavy ferting?
I love guppies, but unless you want to deal with a lot of fry, stick with the males (I prefer their colourful tails anyways).
Dwarf saggitarius does an interesting 'grassy' carpet. Mine went crazy in my old tank with only 2700k bulbs. Covered the bottom, and I only started out with a few plants.
Thanks for the advice everyone. Looks like I'll turn away for bettas, I'll start looking for small, colorful fish. Maybe fancy guppy?
As far as plants, I haven't really thought about it too much. I think I'll stay away from carpet plants.
Good news is the tank holds water, filled it last night and no leaks overnight
My first tank back in college was real similar to what you are planning.
daylight compact fluorescent bulbs in an incandescent hood, lined the hood with aluminum tape.
used kitty-litter for the substrate. I may have thrown some peat, vermiculite, and laterite in there as well, but that was so long ago I can't remember.
Things turned out pretty well, especially considering it was my first tank.
I think the oildry would probably work better then the kitty litter I used.
And painting the hood white is probably a better (and cheaper) way to increase reflection.
You could probably get daylight CFL bulbs at a lowes/home depot for a fraction of what they cost in the fish store.
Don't worry too much about screwing up, there isn't much you can do that you won't be able to correct/work around, and you'll learn in the process.
|The betta sorority can get relatively nasty. You have the right idea with having more females, but you should be prepared to remove either the main aggressor or the loser if things go south.
|steven p
9 or 13 watt cfl's.. and a proper substrate(dirt/potting soil..capped).. i melted one hood with 25?w bulbs... Whoops... Woke up to the smell of burning plastic.. it was soft enough for me to leave a perma-fingerprint...
Spraypaint the inside of the hood white... Black plastic is never going to reflect light well.
I have a low tech 10g and its doing pretty well. Without CO2 or ferts and with low lights, there are still plants that will do great.
I have two 9w daylight cfl's. I found in such a small tank, if I went for the 15w cfl's, it rose the water temp. 'Daylight' is important, 6500k-ish.
I used fluorite black capped with gravel. I am not using root caps at this point as I don't seem to need them. I have egeria najas, dwarf saggitaira, asian ambulia, a crypt, bacopa and anubias. You can see my tank in my sig.
I can't offer any advice on the betta sorority, hopefully others will have some experiences to share.
Hope that helps!
Yay for new tanks!
Do you have plants in mind that you'd like to try? Or an idea of what the tank will look like? For example, do you want a lawn? Are there tanks you've seen that you'd like to emulate?
I have several 10gs that are planted and I just use the stock lights that come with them. Decent lighting enough to grow ludwigia and all the low light classics.
I have also tried keeping a betta sorority in a 10g. It didn't last and the girls did much better once I moved them up to a 20g long. That being said, I don't recommend a long-term betta sorority in a 10g just from my experience. 4 or 5 bettas seems like a lot for one small tank too.
Looking forward to seeing your tank come to life.
Low-Tech 10 gallon help
I have an empty 10 gallon tank from 10 years or so ago that I want to turn into a low tank tank. But I'm new to this and need some setting up the tank.
I should start by saying I want to have 4 or 5 female bettas and no co2 or ferts if possible.
I will be using a standard hood(its what I have already) and need advice on lighting. Whether to get the 15w or 25w bulb from the LFS or another bulb. I was planning on using Oil Dry as substrate.
I've looked through the "low tech show and tell" thread, but being new to planted tanks makes me nervous about screwing up.
Thanks in advanced everyone, I plan on make a journal about this build also.

text: this game was one of the top hits for the 360. this game has so many zombies that its not even funny. The story of the game is pretty good. They are too easy that you could probably be able to beat this game in a day. and for the achviments, if you can think it, you could probably get that achviment. But the A.I for the game is really dumb at times, they'll sometimes get in the way of fire when you are trying to kill zombies. As you get higher level for your character (Frank), more and more zombies start to appear. I also though that they were bitting of the movie Dawn of the Dead, but who cares. So i recommend that you pick up this title for the 360.

OM Group Up 15% After Earnings Beat
Shares of OM Group (OMG) are the biggest gainers on the Standard & Poor's 1500 index today, up about 15% after the company reported adjusted earnings and revenues that beat Wall Street estimates.
OM Group said first-quarter adjusted profit was 15 cents a share, while analysts were, on average, looking for a loss of 1 cent a share, according to FactSet. Revenue was $364 million, beating estimates of $294 million.
We had a bullish Stock Alert column in mid-April highlighting OM Group, predicting the stock had 40% upside. At the time, David Englander wrote (sub required):
Management plans to grow sales 5% annually, and profits at a higher rate, from the company's operating leverage. Last month, the company hired David Knowles as President and Chief Operating Officer, to help execute the strategy. Knowles has a background in specialty materials.
A reduction in costs and tighter working capital management could unlock value. Organic market-share gains, and small, bolt-on acquisitions are also being targeted.
Europe remains a risk, as about half of sales come from the region. Last year, weakness there hurt profitability. That could improve by the second half of this year.

Re: Can we please stop this "stealth" nonsense??
It's practically like TLOU, except the place us darker. Same thing- rushy dudes, all that. If that is stealth, then TLOU is stealth.
Re: Can we please stop this "stealth" nonsense??
Re: Can we please stop this "stealth" nonsense??
Why do people always cry about something?
I can pretty sure stealth is the king of this game! But to be able to play the role of stealth effectively, you have to have good team mates. Your team should be composed of 1 Support, 1 Sniper/Bomber, 1 Assault/Bomber, 1 Stealth. I know no one should'nt tell you how to play, but in order to keep dominating games, you have to max out the percs given in the game. I'm talking about playing competitive play here.
If you're playing stealth, your 3 teammates should divert the opponents attention with gun fires/bombs/molotovs/smoke(of course) and MARK the enemies' locations as much as possible so that the stealth guy will know where the enemy is and is free to roam around the map and flank the other team and go to work!
Playing with random teammates will give you a hard time playing as stealth effectively. Use a proper loadout class to comprehend your teammates' loadout class and do your role effectively. That what makes a team solid! Its like basketball for god sake! You have to have the POINT GUARD, SHOOTING GUARD, POWER FORWARD, SMALL FORWARD & CENTER in order to maximize your tactis, you don't just put 3 POINT GUARDS or 5 CENTERS all at the same time right? You dont just put covert training, crafter, first aid training because you want to! Use your brain guys!
God! People needs to know the mechanics of the game before crying! **bleep**!

Most of my shiv kills come from enemies who are distracted shooting at a teammates. Almost every time I get shiv'd is for the same reason. I've found myself making more nail bombs than smoke bombs in order to push myself to play even more stealthily. So, I can't really say that stealth is nonsense. It may not be the most popular playstyle, but it still works and is still present. I don't really see what you're complaining about.
Based on my experiences, stealth usually works (though some teams seem to have eyes in the back of their heads). I think it usually works because of the fact that it isn't the most popular tactic that is used.

Re: Can we please stop this "stealth" nonsense??
I've actually been like.. Hmm Should have paid more attention or rather congratulating the enemy on times when they've come from behind me.
But if someone throws a smoke bomb and runs in for the shiv kill... Which happens a lot.. Far too much for a game thats supposed to be stealthy I'm just like WHY... Then my entire team downs him because he decided to sprint.
Is it really that important to get that kill? Everyone does the sprint, everyone usually dies after it too. It appears that the fact they will be seen for sprinting does not stop them if they see a kill people simply cannot wait to get it.
Angers me when my own team do it too.... Yeah thanks.. Give away my position so you can have a kill and we'll both just get ambushed.
Re: Can we please stop this "stealth" nonsense??[ Edited ]
Well, smoke and shiv should be done after analysing situation rather than in it just for "rush".
Sometimes it's really a bad idea to throw a smoke in a room of 4 enemies to shiv one of them and get yourself killed. But then again, if because of your rushing causes a panic in the enemies, and your teammates are well coordinated players who know how and when to take the chance and launch attack. Your team can easily take out 4 enemies in seconds with NO ONE from your side going down. The smoke and shiv becomes the "Appetiser" that opens up for "Main Course". Hmm, I'm hungry.

Justin Newcombe works out the secret to a healthy of crop of beans, to be eaten fresh, or dried and stored for winter.
Many of my favourite beans are not that big in stature - in fact they are quite shrubby - but really flavoursome. Some are good for drying. The beans I'm talking about, traditionally from either the French or Italian Mediterranean, are colourful and succulent when they are fresh, and when dried make an excellent addition to winter soups and stews.
My previous attempts to grow many of these have been thwarted by in-ground mealy bug attacks. That's not to say I haven't had some success, even though that success has been measured by the handful and not the bucketful. With only a small residential garden, I'm a bit wary of trying to grow crops that need to be stored, but I have made some exceptions - notably garlic and pumpkin, both of which usually prove to be very successful. I would like to find a way to have the same success with the group of meaty bean crops.
The first thing I have to come to terms with is that I don't live in the Mediterranean, so I need to do what I can to recreate the conditions of the Med. That means limey, free-draining soils which are either volcanic or rocky with lots of dry heat and crisp mornings. That sounds a long way away from muggy old Auckland, so my best bet is going to be to enlist the help of a secret weapon, a thermal mass.
A thermal mass is, in gardening parlance, a wall of some description. It could be a shed, fence or, if you are lucky, stone wall, which will reflect and store heat. This creates a regular, warm micro-climate to keep the plants warm and protected from wind. I should point out the wall needs to be north-facing to get the best of the sun; obviously the south side of a wall will have the opposite effect.
Once I've got my Mediterranean position I need to create my Mediterranean soil. My soil is like much of that around New Zealand, a bit on the heavy side and lacking in calcium. Some of us are very lucky to have soil on a river plane or from a volcano or in some cases a bit of both (take a bow, Ruawai). I need to improve my sedimentary up-lifted soil (even the name sounds heavy). The first thing I do is add calcium which will help improve the tilth of the soil by breaking up the tight particles and help the soil particles hold on to micro-nutrients. Another option is to dig small date-sizes pieces of concrete into the soil to try to mimic the rock nature of the Med.
Add a little blood and bone and a small amount of potash. The soil needs to be dug into a really fine tilth, so avoid soils with a lot of un-composted carbon material in it. This will only help to attract mealy bugs, which you don't want.
Choosing the beans is the easy part. I'm going for a row of bush beans, albenga dwarf and a pole bean called lima del papa or the pope's bean.
This should give me the bright scarlet beans I'm after and the option of eating now or drying for later. We're still growing some runners and broad beans because we like that with both those varieties, the more you pick the more they yield. As for the mealy bugs, I'm watering my beans with a mixture of water, pyrethrum and garden friendly dish soap. The soap will help dilute the pyrethrum in the water, and will also help the water to penetrate the soil, putting a stop to any unruly mealy bugs snacking on the roots.

When you think of an online degree, you might imagine a pajama-clad thirty-something, clicking through slides on a text-filled screen, occasionally watching an instructional video or lecture to spice things up. According to University of Southern California's Melora Sundt, that picture is all wrong.
USC has recently teamed up with New York based TouchAppMedia and 2tor,Inc. to introduce the first mobile app for higher education. It rolls an assortment of technologies resembling Skype, Facebook, and Twitter into a virtual school experience. Video chat with a classmate on the bus, receive push notifications when a professor posts a new grade, share notes on the course "wall." It's the most portable development coming out of USC's successful online masters degree program in teaching, dubbed MAT@USC.
"You can do everything on the iPad app that you could do on your laptop," says Sundt, associate dean of academic programs at USC's Rossier School of Education. Since USC first launched MAT@USC four years ago, over 1,500 students have enrolled in the program.
Now, let's face it, online education isn't exactly new. Typing "online degree" into Google gets you over 58 million results. Besides the well-known University of Phoenix, there are all sorts of online degree programs that promise a convenient, high quality education. Yale and MIT have recently put many of their lectures online, and iTunes U and Academic Earth offer resources from many top schools. Last year saw an unprecedented jump of almost a million more students studying online, according to the 2010 Sloan Survey of Online Learning. What makes MAT@USC different?
Actually, that's the wrong question. MAT@USC's strength is what makes it similar – to a real school.
"It's got all the upsides of the classroom," says said Khanan Grauer, the CEO and founder of TouchAppMedia, "you're just not physically attending school."
When students enter the online "classroom" – whether on their iPad or laptop – they see a Brady Bunch style grid of live-stream video headshots of 10-12 students and the professor. During class, which is scheduled several times throughout the week, students can take notes, view slides, discuss questions on a Twitter-like chat pod, break into groups, or virtually "raise their hand" to answer a question. In other words, they can do most of the activities they would in a normal classroom. Only in this scenario, their classmates might be sitting at a desk in rural Kansas – or Japan.
Outside of class, students can view their wall (similar to Facebook's wall), check their class schedule or grades, catch up on missed reading or watch a supplementary video, or join any number of thousands of online social groups or communities.
"Students are pretty comfortable using a computer to socialize," says Grauer. "This is an extremely rich experience."
And it's not just MAT@USC's new tools and technologies that closely approximate the grad school experience – it's also the price tag.
"This is not a cost-saving initiative by any stretch," says Sundt. While critics often disparage online education for being just another belt-tightening measure, USC has actually hired more teachers since the launch of the online program, and the cost for students is the same. For a campus tight on space, the benefit is that those students don't take up any more physical room.
But is something valuable lost without real face-time in a physical classroom? Some critics argue that education must be more than just interactions with a smart screen – it's about personal connections in a social space. Sundt thinks that many of those concerns, while perhaps more relevant for K-12 education, don't really apply to the typically much older students pursuing a higher education.
"By the time you're in grad school," she says, "hopefully you've got good foundation of social skills."
On the technology side, Grauer says that the biggest downsides to MAT@USC's mobile app are content creation (it's hard to type papers on an iPhone) and file sharing (documents created on the iPad can't be transferred easily to different apps). But as new technologies come along to streamline the online learning environment, he expects those experiences to improve. At the very least, we're way beyond online worksheets and pre-recorded lectures.
"There's still a lot of folklore out there about what online program is," says Sundt "it's a far more exciting and interesting experience."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.


text: Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your Last Menstrual Periodic (LMP) cycle. Your 1st and 2nd week of pregnancy in fact consist of the time of your last menstrual period, ovulation and fertilization but the actual conception takes place roughly at about the 3rd week. The due date for the delivery is generally computed on the 28 days cyclic period. An ultrasound is a most viable source to know the date of your last menstrual period, which in turn helps you in estimating your due date for the delivery too.

Looking for a good-sounding, portable speaker system but put off by the whole Lightning connector issue? Maybe you're in the Android camp and tired of Apple's mobile devices getting all the attention when it comes to high quality audio accessories. The good news is Bluetooth streaming audio is platform-agnostic; the standard works with pretty much any mobile device you can throw at it. And the choices are getting really compelling. Case in point, the Vers 1Q Bluetooth sound system. A 3-inch cube made of natural wood, the 1Q literally fits in the palm of your hand, sounds great (looks even better), offers compatibility with any Bluetooth-equipped device and even provides 10 hours of portable sound thanks to a built-in, rechargeable battery. All for $119.99, which makes the 1Q a steal. Continue Reading "Review: Vers 1Q Wireless Sound System Delivers on Looks and Performance" »

Low Total OECD Oil Stocks* Keep Market Balance Tight
*Total includes commercial and government stocks.
Sources: History: EIA; Projections: Short-Term Energy Outlook, May 2001.
Previous slide

Back to first slide
View graphic version
This chart illustrates why EIA sees crude oil prices staying relatively high. It shows global inventories, as measured by OECD petroleum stocks.
EIA sees a tenuous supply/demand balance over the remainder of 2001. Global inventories remain low, and need to recover to more adequate levels of forward demand coverage in order to avoid continued price volatility.
The most recent data show OECD inventories remaining at very low levels. Low inventories increase the potential for price volatility throughout 2001.
Inventories are a good measure of the supply/demand balance that affects prices. A large over-supply (production greater than demand) will put downward pressure on prices, while under-supply will push prices upward.
OECD inventories illustrate the changes in the world petroleum balance. OECD inventories rose to high levels during 1997 and 1998 when production exceeded demand and prices dropped to around $10 per barrel in December 1998. However, when demand exceeded production in 1999 and early 2000, inventories fell to low levels, and prices rose, averaging almost $35 per barrel (WTI) in November 2000.
EIA's forecast of a continued low stock cushion implies we not only should see continued high prices, but we also could experience price volatility from the crude oil market--apart from volatility stemming from product markets.

French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, is taking a clothing company to court to halt if from selling a shopping bag that features a photo of the former supermodel in the nude. The white canvas bags went on sale this week in the Paris region. Her lawyers claim "the bag makes use of Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy's image without her consent and for commercial gain." The 1993 photo sold at an auction. A talk bubble next to the first lady's image reads: "My boyfriend should have bought me Pardon."
I am concerned about this case. Does this mean we can't print pictures of President Bush in the nude? Or, for that matter, are we forbidden to print photos of the empty brain of the president which is a lot more attractive than the outer portion of his body? Gee, as I recall they were printing photos of naked prisoners in Abu Ghraib, but, they were only a bunch of Muslim males so I guess that is OK.
Frankly, I would think Mrs. Sarkozy would be pleased to have these nice photos of her plastered all over canvas bags. I think it is great political advertising. How many politicians can say their wife has nothing to hide and is baring the truth about herself?

I'm Sergeant First Class Raymond Akers. I'm stationed at Fort McPherson at with Army Ground Forces Band in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm the principal keyboardist there. Our unit is a 54-piece unit, and of course, we have the concert band, and then we do ceremonial and marching band. Then it breaks down to the jazz band—a Duke Ellington type band. We have a woodwind quintet, clarinet quartet, tuba quartet, brass quintet, and of course, the jazz combo. We have a show band that does Top 40, and any other group that anybody wants to start.
The level of musicianship is the highest that I've experienced in the band field. I'm at my 22-year point in my career and this is the highest point of musicianship that I've experienced. I'm enjoying it right now, it's great. It's definitely one of the best bands that I've seen or performed with in the military.
As an Army band, we play all different styles depending on where we're stationed. You have to be familiar with your pop, your R&B, the funk, the reggae, the classical, the country—all the styles. I love the jazz combo and the quartet or trio setting. That's really what I'm enjoying right now.
I, as an artist, really try to reach the people. I admire people who captivate their audience. You know, blues singers have that ability where they just embrace the audience and the room just becomes one with what's going on. Whether they're singing or playing or whatever. So when I'm playing a song, I try to play songs that people can relate to, but I try to play them from my soul. I enjoy the compliments when someone comes up and says, 'that's my song and I've never heard it like that. You really played my song, thank you.' I enjoy that. I don't want to say that's what I live for as a musician, but it means a lot when you connect with somebody else with your music. They can really cause the band to totally change upon what they do and just take it in a totally different direction. I like that when the audience gets involved, and sometimes that happens where you just really connect with the audience. I like interacting with the rhythm players, especially the drummers. I really relate well with drummers and sometimes we're playing the song and if things are going really well—especially with the audience interaction—we're able to maybe just transition into another song, or play five songs in that little solo and then come out and go back to the piece. If there's no audience interaction you just kind of play the song. You don't want to step out too far because that energy is not there to really support that idea.
You know, the biggest thing as a musician is listening to different styles and, of course, talking to other musicians and meeting other musicians who play those styles or getting concepts from them, but the biggest thing is listening. If you listen to something and then you try to recreate that on your instrument I found that to be the most valuable tool in developing myself as a musician, especially with now we have music technology, the band in the box, sequencers, keyboards with all the bells and whistles. And that's really specialized my training because I use the sequencer to put in the bass and the drums, so that I can play the style, because it's hard to work on a style without the other parts in the music. The music technology that we have now speeds up the learning process light years.
I think the fact that I've been a lot of different places, my experience as a musician doesn't have to be military or non-military, it's just an experience as a musician. When people listen to you perform on a CD they're just listening to the music, they like your style or they don't like your style. But they want to know who you've really played with on the outside and they want your ability level, the fact that you have been on tour with a band whether it's military or not, they know that tour experience is tour experience. Being in the band field and traveling and playing in other countries, experiencing other cultures, you're equipped to handle certain things. When we say we're in the military, people know that we've experienced a certain culture, we've experienced a certain discipline and they know that if I've spent 20 years in the military there's a lot of hidden accomplishments in that. There's a hidden discipline to be able to deal with that lifestyle. It's a very fast-moving lifestyle.

Truckee track | Girls third at Elks Invitational
March 29, 2013
The Truckee track and field squad had another impressive early-season showing at the 41st Annual Elks Invitational in Fallon over the weekend.
In a field of 15 teams, with representation from all NIAA divisions, the Truckee girls placed third overall, earning either a first or second place in all distances from 100 meters to 1,600.
Sophomore Tareyn Ryan took top honors in the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.76, while defending Division IA state champion Quinn Parker landed at the top of the podium in both the 200 and 400 with times of 26.32 and 58.81, respectively. Senior Ashley Harris medaled in the 200 as well, in fourth place at 28.39.
The winning result of the day was sophomore Gabrielle Rinne's 2:19.70 performance in the 800. Not only did she post the third-fastest time and top sophomore performance in all Nevada divisions this season, it was the 75th-fastest high school time in the nation (out of more than 11,000 results tallied thus far), and 17th-best sophomore time of the year.
Freshman Olivia Yale also registered an impressive top-10 finish in the 800, in ninth place in a time of 2:35.10.
Sophomore Skyler Flora, just back from Nordic Junior Nationals in Fairbanks, Alaska, proved that her transition from cross-country skiing to running will be smooth, as she finished second in the 1600 in 5:31.50. Teammate Michaela Welch, also a sophomore, shined in the 3200, with a seventh-place finish in 13:45.5.
Truckee's girls also excelled in relays. Harris, Rinne, Yale and Ryan placed fourth in the 4×200 relay with a time of 1:56.41. A similarly composed 4×400 relay team of Harris, Rinne, Yale and Parker, representing each grade of high school, easily took top honors with a 4:15 finish.
Standout performances among the Truckee boys included top-10 finishes for senior Jake Pettit in both the 100 and 200, placing ninth in both events in 11.89 and 24.32, respectively.
First-year track athletes Ian Wilson, a junior, and freshman Colin Deurlington fared well in the 400, placing eighth (55.30) and 13th (56.86). Junior Nick Morgan placed 15th in the 800 with a 2:17 performance.
In the field events, Wilson placed 13th with a 17.03-foot long jump while senior Javier Virrey placed 17th with a 33.04-foot triple jump.
Next up for the Wolverines is the 32-team Reed Invitational in Sparks on Friday and Saturday.

Reset the Clock Off the Coast of Honduras
Turquoise Bay Dive and Beach Resort • Roatan, Honduras
Escape Kit
- A Four-($359) or Seven-Night ($599) Stay for Two in a Superior Room
- Daily Breakfast for Two
- Round-Trip Ground Transport to and from Airport
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
You want to start the new year off on the right foot—this year, just make sure that that foot is firmly planted in tropical Honduran sand. Kick off your cares along with your sandals with an Escape to Turquoise Bay Dive and Beach Resort, a seductive sanctuary on the island of Roatán, the largest of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras.
"If your definition of paradise includes empty beaches, no crowds, and not having to dress for dinner, consider packing your bags for an easy-access option you might not have considered: the Bay Islands of Honduras," recommends Lonely Planet.
Kick back in accommodations with a numerous commendations, including Tripadvisor's 2012 Certificate of Excellence. Spend the morning afloat in the tropical pool and take in rays on a terrace above the beach. High noon is high time to seek shade in a parade of palms or take solar solace in the easy eaves of a palapa.
Bailey's Key is key to forming porpoiseful relationships: After suiting up at Subway Watersports, the PADI five-star-accredited and National Geographic dive center, you'll visit the secret environs of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. You'll acclimate to the depth, but you'll never get quite used to the coral splendor and spongey sprawl of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-longest in the world.
Skim the surface of the bay on a complimentary kayak or zip-line through the jungle canopy. Parrots and monkeys jockey for a coveted spot atop your shoulder at Gumbalimba Park, where you'll find yourself in the presence of 200 different tropical plant and tree specimens. Also on the map: Coxen's Cave, featuring "artwork and history painted on the cave walls, life-size pirates, treasure, weapons and maps."
When you've mastered the pace of the West End's beaches, head over to the East End for a taste of Garifuna culture. There, savoring endless conch concoctions in stilt-borne dwellings, you'll be party to hand-drumming and true island hospitality.
"Clusters of whitewashed cabins dot the grassy hill overlooking the—you guessed it—turquoise bay. Palapa umbrellas shade rows of lounge chairs along the 500-foot stretch of private beach where the dock houses kayaks, paddleboats, and jet skis for rent."-- Fodor's Review of Turquoise Bay Dive and Beach Resort

Ref discussions:
This is a first attempt for making hard cider as a practice run for making mead.
It looks like I have a problem. There looks to be fuzzy mold blotches on the very top of the fermentation. I can see a definite clarity of the liquid below and about a 1/4-inch layer of lees on the bottom. Can this batch be saved and did we do something wrong that created the mold?

Smells like a Fork Liftis
JcrOffroad Protyping: Crusader Roof Rack! Revisted!
Many of you might remember our attempt at prototyping a new roof rack. We built it out of all flat and the prototype was WAY to heavy and the idea just wasn't coming together.
This was our the design we failed at making into a viable product:
So we finally decided to hit the drawing board again!
Our #1 issue was to be able to make it modular to allow for being broken down for shipping. Our last Low profile rack would cost us $175 for UPS ground :icon_sad:
After some brain storming, we came up with a nice hybrid idea between our old tube design and our new flat steel idea:
Possible options:
No Lightbar
Led Lightbar
Halogen Lightbar
Adjustable TireMount
Hi-Lift Mount
Half Sides (for front or rear section)
Full Sides
Middle Extension (for full length)
Mounts for different vehicles (TJ/YJ/CJ/LJ/JK/ZJ/KJ/ect)
Turn into metal:
The hoop is a bolt on deal, the rack bolts together in the middle.
These are some optional sides we are kicking around:

Just a small update.
Q: Light bar option?
A: We have plans to make something available but at this time nothing is in development.
Q: Why not full length?
A: Shipping; and this is the same size as our previous low profile utility rack. We plan to also offer an extension for those who would like to go full length, but again nothing has being designed.
Q: Is that too tall?
A: As you can see a spare tire still sits higher than the light bar its self, and the clearance with the lights that are mounted on there is about 3/4" if you move the back closer to the tailgate you lose the slope of the roofline and fall all the way down to about 1/4"-3/8" of clearance.
Q: Highlift mount?
A: Unfortunately this picture didn't capture it however there is an optional highligt mount on the opposite side.
Q: Can I see the tire mount?
A: The tire mount uses a similar mounting and adjustable as our rear bumper tire carriers so you can keep it as close or as far away as possible.
Q: Rotopax?
A: We have kicked around a couple ideas and we should easily be able to make a mount for 2-4 cans easily.
Q: Price and Availability?
A: At this time we don't have a ball park for the pricing, as this rack is modular it will vary greatly in price. You will be able to start with the base rack (a front and back) and build it to however you want.

We are back on this today. Hoping to nail this prototype down and figure out what/how we are going to offer this beast!
Here's the rack with 15" extensions in the middle. You can also see the option adjustable tire mount:

State Senate OKs 5 of 7 gun control bills
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Colorado Senate has given initial approval to five of seven gun control bills up for a second vote on Friday night. Two other bills were effectively withdrawn.
Senate President John Morse, a Colorado Springs Democrat, withdrew a bill he sponsored that called for makers and sellers of certain guns to be held liable for violent acts committed with those weapons. Republicans celebrated, saying Democrats lacked strong support for the bill.
"Lots of pressure, lots of bullying, lots of nastiness all the way through the process," Morse told KRDO NewsChannel 13. "So there are times where you just have to figure out how much can we get done? And where do we draw the lines of what we can't get done?"
The other bill that was withdrawn was House Bill 1226, a bill that would ban concealed weapons on college campuses.
The vote moved forward a controversial proposal that makes it a crime to have magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
Also passing on Friday were bills requiring background checks for most gun purchases; banning guns for people convicted of certain domestic violence crimes; mandating in-person training courses for people seeking conceal and carry permits and reinstating fees for gun buyers who need background checks.
Morse said that he was proud of what the Senate accomplished.
"We have passed a package that's going to make a huge difference in Colorado," he said. "We passed one of the most comprehensive gun packages in the entire country."
Three of the measures given initial approval are House bills, meaning that if they pass the Senate, they will head to the governor's desk. Gov. John Hickenlooper has said he will sign any gun control bill that passes out of the Legislature.
--- Bills moving forward ---
- BACKGROUND CHECKS: House Bill 1229 would add a background-check requirement for many guns sold in private transactions.
- MAGAZINE LIMITS: House Bill 1224 limits gun ammunition magazines to 15 rounds.
- FIREARM BAN FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENDERS: Senate Bill 197 would expand a ban on gun ownership for people convicted of certain domestic-violence offenses.
- ONLINE GUN TRAINING: Senate Bill 195 would require people seeking concealed carry permits to take gun training courses in person.
- BACKGROUND CHECK FEES: House Bill 1228 would revive fees for gun purchasers who need background checks.

|Check-in before
We spent a great time in Nice. The flat was confortable, not so big but has evrithing you need. The bathroom is great. The location is perfect.
Marco, the owner, was nice and he helps us with evrithing we asked.
Great expirience.
The studio is situated very close to the tram line and easy to get to. It is very well equipped it has all the mod cons you would need for a short stay or even longer. It was very clean and cosy and certainly better value staying at the studio compared to some of the Nice hotels.
We would definitely recommend staying here and would come back next time .
The only issue is the advert suggests the studio is located in a beautiful building with sunny balcony . The building is not beautiful and the balcony has no sun exposure but don't let that put you off it is no different to any other apartment building in Nice . All in All a lovely studio, well kept and Marco is a really nice guy.
Very clean and cozy studio, Air-con would be a good addition as the temperature was pretty high in July, but otherwise everything was Perfect. We had a lovely holiday;)
The flat was perfect and Marco was vet helpful and accommodating. Being so close to everything it is easy to walk or get anywhere. Very happy with my stay and would definitely stay again.
Very nice owner and a very clean appartement. Marco is a funny guy you will like him. The appartement is very close to the old town and the beaches of Nizza, you can walk there in 10 minutes.
Very friendly host, clean and cozy appartment and located between two tram stops.
Highly recommended for this price!
As for me it's a nice apartment and good location. The tram stop is 2 min away and in 10 min you are in the center or at the beach. The apartment itself is clean and cosy. you have everything you need for a few days. There is a supermarket just around the corner and a lovely bakery. it's quite at night and not too hot. And Marco is the best! :-) very nice and friendly! He even picked me up at the tram stop so I don't get lost. He speaks a little English and all the required information can be given. I can only recommend this place.
This accommodation would be acceptable for a backpacker... but it definitely does NOT suit a couple travelling (especially if you are on your honeymoon).
The accommodation is a "room" inside his apartment that has been turned into a studio, the bathroom is nice and new but the kitchen is ULTRA tiny.
The photo you see of the couch in the first image is in fact your bed - it is a fold out couch (I feel this should be mentioned to avoid others thinking you will get a bed to sleep on).
We don't know what was outside the balcony blinds but we were specifically told NOT to open the blinds.
Another point to mention - Marco has limited English and we were rationed to 100 litres of water for all appliances.
The accommodation is in an "interesting" location - the lack of women in the local bars made us feel quite uncomfortable (especially the looks we received just walking past).
Needless to say we did not stay in the accommodation and had to find accommodation else where in the city.
When we returned to collect our bond we were very surprise that the first thing Marco asked was why we hadn't stayed in the apartment - to me, there was only one way he could have known that...
I DO NOT recommend this accommodation.
Spacious, clean and well-equipped studio.
Close to Palais des Expositions.
Relatively little noise from road and railroad.
My friend Anastasia and I had the MOST wonderful week in Marco's apartment! The apartment is VERY good quality, very clean, spacious and stylishly looking. Moreover the location was great - pretty close to the old city center and the sea. We had a negative experience in the previous apartment in Nice with another person, so when we found Marco through Wimdu it was like a blessing after the horrible two days. Besdies, Marco himself is an amazing person! If we ever return to Nice, I would definitely choose to stay in Marco's apartment! We are both very grateful to him for making our days in Nice so pleasant! Marco - merci beaucoup pour tout!!!

Aerogels are some of the most fascinating materials on the planet. They were discovered in the 1930s by Stanford University's Samuel Kistler who proved that he could successfully replace a gel's liquid with a gas by drying it, thereby creating a substance that was structurally a gel, but without liquid. Since their invention aerogels have primarily been made of silica but can be made of a growing variety of substances including transition metal oxides, organic polymers, biological polymers, semiconductor nanostructures, graphene, carbon, carbon nanotubes and metals as well as aerogel composite materials and the list is growing.
Just seven miles south of our OSTI facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee is a national treasure – the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). ORNL is DOE's largest multi-program laboratory where remarkable scientific expertise and world-class scientific facilities and equipment are applied to develop scientific and technological solutions that are changing our world. ORNL's National Center for Computational Sciences is home to two of ORNL's high-performance computing projects -- the National Climate-Computing Research Center (NCRC), where research is dedicated to climate science, and the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF).
Every day we are bombarded with advertisements in every form and format telling us that our lives will be improved if we buy a particular product because it will save us money, reduce our work effort, save us energy, or benefit the environment. We are justifiably skeptical because we know from experience that if something sounds too good to be true, usually it is. Light-emitting diode (LED) lighting is one of the exceptions. LEDs benefits are so powerful that they seem too good to be true; however, they actually do save us money, reduce our work effort, save us energy and benefit our environment.
Light-emitting diode (LED) lighting is a type of solid-state lighting that uses a semiconductor to convert electricity to light. LED lighting products are beginning to appear in a wide variety of home, business, and industrial products such as holiday lighting, replacement bulbs for incandescent lamps, street lighting, outdoor area lighting and indoor ambient lighting.
It is truly wonderful when something comes along that speeds access to science. Such is the case with CrossRef's linking network for scholarly literature. Anyone that has ever done a literature search prior to 2000 is completely blown away today when they encounter the time saved and the quality of CrossRef's linking service. I vividly recall my own literature review for my PhD dissertation almost 40 years ago and I want to share my story.
For many long and miserable days and nights for a solid month I practically lived at the University of Maryland's Engineering and Physical Sciences Library plowing through a massive set of numerous volumes of citation indices looking up keywords related to my dissertation. My topic Secondary deflections and lateral stability of beams was based on my research at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.
Star gazing seems especially good on a clear autumn night. From our back deck our amateur eyes scan the sky and its wonder. We first notice Venus, our closest planetary neighbor. A beautiful harvest moon rises over the hill, lighting up jet streams that crisscross the stars and planets. We see Orion, the bowl and handle of the Big Dipper, the Square of Pegasus, the vast Milky Way and we are fortunate to see an occasional falling star. We are in awe of the beauty of our night sky but it's what we can't see that is truly amazing.
Spectacular explosions, which can't be detected with the human eye, light up the gamma-ray sky about once a day. These explosions, called gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), are from distant galaxies hundreds of millions of light years away from earth and are thought to be triggered by supernovae or exploding stars. They release more energy than our sun will put out in a lifetime.

Professor: Decision on debt ceiling could affect military pay
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A UCCS finance professor told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that if the debt ceiling is not raised, it could affect the millions of military personnel in southern Colorado.
"The estimate right now is the government is going to simply run out of money on Oct. 17," said Thomas Zwirlein. "By law, when the treasury runs out of money, it has to stop issuing the checks. Since we have a lot of military retirees receiving benefits...it certainly does affect this area."
At a news conference Tuesday, President Obama indicated Republicans could essentially set the agenda for the negotiations they are demanding, but only if Congress agrees first to a short-term spending plan to fund the government and to raise the federal borrowing limit to avoid a possible first-ever U.S. default next week.
"Republicans are very hesitant to do that because they want to resolve some other issues," Zwirlein said. "We can't continue to pile on more and more debt. It'll eventually come back to haunt us."
House Speaker John Boehner, speaking Tuesday afternoon after what he called a "pleasant" but ineffectual phone call with Obama, rejected the president's comments as nothing new.
"What the president said today was if there's unconditional surrender by Republicans, he'll sit down and talk to us," Boehner told reporters. "That's not the way our government works."
Zwirlein said he believes eventually Congress, though reluctantly, will agree to raise the debt ceiling before the deadline. Neither side wants to let the government default, Zwirlein said, and global markets would find it "disturbing."

Susan Lim:
Transplant cells, not organs
Pioneering surgeon Susan Lim performed the first liver transplant in Asia. But a moral concern with transplants (where do donor livers come from ...) led her to look further, and to ask: Could we be transplanting cells, not whole organs? At the INK Conference, she talks through her new research, discovering healing cells in some surprising places.

Theres a C sleeper i absoulutly love from Illinois as well.. And i think hes got enough size and what not to play G as well.. Graham Pocic is his name.. Dude can flat out play! I am all about the lineman and safteies this yr...
Theres a C sleeper i absoulutly love from Illinois as well.. And i think hes got enough size and what not to play G as well.. Graham Pocic is his name.. Dude can flat out play! I am all about the lineman and safteies this yr...
Heres alittle bit of info on him from CBS SPORTS..
"Pocic is physically strong and aggressive with the grit to finish through the whistle and tough-out the battles in the trenches. With several talented interior defensive linemen coming from Big Ten programs the past few years, including his own teammates, Pocic has been routinely tested as the rock of the Illinois line. Although not likely to be a Day 1 or 2 pick like the first four prospects on this list, Pocic currently projects as a mid-to-late round player and a borderline top-five senior at his position.
--Dane Brugler
Another few OT's and Lineman i like for the back half of the draft, are Tanner Hawkinson OT Kansas, David Quessenberry OT San Jose St, and Xavier Nixon OT Florida..
Again, a guy i covet in rd 3-5 is Graham Pocic C Illinois.. The more i learn, the more i like.. Shoot, i like em as much as Khaled Holmes..
I was talking about how bad the Giants running game was on Twitter and some guy gave me the stats from the game. He was like they rushed for 4.6 yards per carry thats outstanding. Obviously he didnt watch the game. Without that draw to Bradshaw when they were down 14 points it was like 2,.5. They need to pass to run not run to pass. I still cant believe he ran the ball on 1st and 2nd down on the the goal line like that. If they spread out with 4 WR and ran a little pick play to free Barden its a TD, A slant to Cruz TD, The play calling down there was atrocious . I know people dont want to pull Eli off the field but his lack of athleticism in those situations really hurts the Giants with this Oline. If u had a mobile QB that u could move around it would do wonders for short yard situations
I can't stress enough how annoying it is that 2guys paid millions of dollars to coach and are with this team every single day, don't see that.. I feel Coughlin is so stubborn and old school, he just can't let himself see that the NFL has changed, and that the GIANTS best 3weapons are ELI, NICKS, and CRUZ.. I mean, even the most depth we have is pretty much at WR.. Its also very silly ur not even getting guys like Barden on the field, and possibly Randle.. This team would be almost impossilbe to defend if they showed some empty backfield looks and put more 3wr sets in, and used shot gun a tad more..etc
Coughlin continues to say we gotta RUN better then last yr, but that is so contradictary, becuase we WON it all last yr!!!!lol Neither Bradshaw nor WIlson are Adrian Peterson or even Fred Jackson for that matter, as a RB that can not only take the pounding but give u 20carrys a week and be successful.. There both very talented but more as complementery weapons, and not guys u need to be 20carry a week guys.. There better as a Changeup to Roger Clemens best pitch, the fastball(which in this refrence, the fastball means nicks and cruz and co..)...lol
mind u redeye, i'm not saying always go into empty backfields, 3wr sets, and shotgun, but more then they do... Also, lets get these rb's more involved in passing game.. Use a shovel pass here and there, and try a FB screen(that play would catch teams off guard), and get Wilson outside on a screen... Again, this team is built similar to NO, NE, and GB as far as there offense goes, which is a bunch of RB's sharing load, while the main emphasis is pass first, and use timely runs...

I don't mean to make my dear readers rush into their kitchens in a sudden urge to bake, but these are the most delicious brownies ever!
Since I made the brownies for my sister's birthday party, I cut them bite-sized and placed them in fluted paper cases – but I'm sure they'd be wonderful cut in larger pieces, served with ice cream. Yummy.
The brownies were a hit among the 13-year-old girls.
Recipe by David Lebovitz - he even teaches how to make your own dulce de leche at home, just click here.
Dulce de leche brownies
115g salted or unsalted butter, cut into pieces
170g bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped – I used semisweet because of my "target audience"
25g unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3 large eggs
200g sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
140g flour
optional: 100g toasted pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped – I didn't use nuts
250g dulce de leche
Preheat the oven to 175ºC/350ºF.
Line a 20 cm square pan with a long sheet of aluminum foil that covers the bottom and reaches up the sides. If it doesn't reach all the way up and over all four sides, cross another sheet of foil over it, making a large cross with edges that overhang the sides. Grease the bottom and sides of the foil with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the chocolate pieces and stir constantly over very low heat until the chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sugar, vanilla, then the flour. Mix in the nuts, if using.
Scrape half of the batter into the prepared pan.
Drop one-third of the dulce de leche, evenly spaced, over the brownie batter, then drag a knife through to swirl it slightly. Spread the remaining brownie batter over, then drop spoonfuls of the remaining dulce de leche in dollops over the top of the brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl the dulce de leche slightly.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The brownies are done when the center feels just-slightly firm. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
David says that these brownies actually become better the second day, and will keep well for up to 3 days – I wouldn't know because there weren't any brownies left, and I doubled the recipe. :)
Makes 12.

A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after a 23-year-old man was seriously assaulted in the Waikato town of Matatoki overnight.
Thames Sub-Area Manager, Senior Sergeant Graham Shields, said emergency services were called to a Matatoki address, just south of Thames, about 5pm, following reports of an assault.
"Ambulance staff attended the 23-year-old victim's injuries and the man was taken to Waikato Hospital by ambulance with serious injuries and we understand he is in a stable condition in the hospital's High Dependency Unit," Shields said.
"Police officers conducting follow up enquiries located a 16-year-old male nearby a short time later and this male will be appearing in the Hamilton Youth Court today facing a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm."
Shields said the boy was lucky not to be facing more serious charges, considering the injuries the victim suffered.

Students Making a Difference: Domestic Violence Awareness
TOMAH, Wis. -- You've probably heard the phrase "wise beyond your years." It's one that describes this month's 'student making a difference' pretty well.
Devyn Prielipp is going into her senior year at Tomah High School. She was forced to grow up quicker than most kids her age after losing her mom, Teresa, two years ago to a domestic abuse incident. Her step dad was convicted of killing her in their own home.
Devyn is using her life tragedy to make sure others don't have to go through the same pain. Just months after her mom's death, Devyn helped start the "Remembering Teresa Run/Walk" to raise awareness about domestic violence.
"After mom passed away, we knew right away that we wanted to do something, we wanted to remember in a more happy way. She was a very active runner and she loved to work out," says Devin.
Proceeds from the first two "Remembering Teresa Run/Walk's" have helped buy car seats for the domestic violence shelter in Sparta and also build them a playground. They've also just awarded scholarships to Tomah students interested in pursuing a career in nursing. Teresa was an OB nurse at Tomah Memorial Hospital before she was killed.
"Everybody is passionate in something different and if they're really passionate to make a difference to help someone else, I think, it's kind of something in your heart that you just, it's natural," says Devyn.183530
This year's Remembering Teresa Run/Walk is set for Saturday, October 8th. A Spaghetti dinner and self defense class are tentatively planned around the walk. For more information, go to rememberingteresa.com.
If you know a student who is going above and beyond to make a difference by volunteering, we want to know. You can nominate them for the students making a difference award here on our website. Just scroll over the schools tab on the homepage and click on "Students Making a Difference."
Along with the recognition, the students get a certificate, a $100 donation to their group or charity, a sports bag and a DVD copy of their story.

Our second day in Manchester was a very cool day. I had been looking forward to seeing Manchester City play Sunderland for months.. and the day had finally arrived.
We had tickets organised by Andrew's second-cousin Colin.. and the seats were good (check out the photos!). For those that care but for some reason don't know.. it was a whitewash.. mcfc 5.. sunderland 0 ;D
We also stopped by Old Trafford to get a photo of the stadium. Because we had come straight from the game.. we still had our Man City scarfs around our necks
As it was getting dark.. we went for a short drive around the country-side in Northwich. Beautifully eerie! We made a quick detour down a lane to an old English pub called The Boot Inn. We had cask ale (the pommie beer served at room temperate.. it's actually not that bad). After that.. it was already quite late.. so we ordered Indian curry take-aways and had a late dinner before going into a food coma and hitting the sack. Probably a good thing too as we had to be up at 4:30am to catch our flight into The Netherlands.
And that's the reason the blog took so long to post. Please keep an eye out for the first installment from Amsterdam in a little while (give me a few hours ;D).


text: 91 Suburban 5.7 4L80E Soon I'll be changing the tranny filter out and replacing only the fluid lost from the pan. No intentions of a flush, the fluid looks and smells good, and the tranny is working fine, just a preventative maintenance measure. However, the pan doesn't have a drain plug and I'd like to install an aftermarket plug kit. Where should I drill the hole? It looks like there is a slanted area that would be perfect for a plug, but would it be better to go straight through the bottom? Theres a circle on the bottom of the pan that holds the magnet, so I'll stay away from that. Small issue, but wondered what other people thought or their experience.
