Washington was hoping to crash the district championship girls soccer party that Rock Bridge and Jefferson City have enjoyed in recent years.
Heading into the Class 3 District 9 Tournament at Rock Bridge High School in Columbia, Jefferson City reached the district title contest five straight seasons while Rock Bridge got there three straight years.
Things didn't quite work out for Washington as both Jefferson City and Rock Bridge kept their streaks alive.
Third-seeded Jefferson City (10-14) made a first-half goal hold up in a 1-0 victory over second-seeded Washington in the semifinals Tuesday night.
Top-seeded Rock Bridge (13-6) also won 1-0 Tuesday over fourth-seeded Hickman.
Rock Bridge won its fourth straight district crown with a 4-2 victory Thursday over Jefferson City.
Washington (12-14-1) had an opportunity to compete favorably in the district as the No. 2 seed, but couldn't take advantage of its scoring opportunities.
"The Jefferson City game mirrored many of our games this year. We severely outplayed the other team, controlled the ball for the vast majority of the game and possessed the ball extremely well in the defensive and middle third of the field," said Washington Head Coach Chris Lanemann. "But we were not able to finish. We hit the crossbar two times, had 13 shots on goal and only gave up three shots."
Lanemann said because he felt Washington controlled the game, it was disappointing not to come away with the win.
"In that respect, it was very frustrating, especially when Jeff City was able to get the ball out of their own end just three times in the entire second half," Lanemann said. "Our defense played great as they have all season. They have been so consistent all season."
Andrea Bourne was Washington's goalie.
"Andrea was in goal for the entire 80 minutes and only gave up the one goal on a missed assignment by a midfielder," Lanemann said. "Andrea did not have a chance on the goal."
After falling behind in the first half, the Lady Jays of Washington put constant pressure on Jefferson City in the second half in an attempt to pull even.
"So many players stepped up in the second half and played well," Lanemann said.
Washington's defenders led a solid team effort in the contest.
"All three of our defenders had very good games. They were Hannah Overschmidt, Brittany Monroig and Taylor Andrews," Lanemann said. "In the midfield, all the girls played pretty well, led by Anneliese Baer, Liz Brinkmann, Brianna Pagan and Arika Elliott. Up top, we did pretty well moving the ball. We just didn't score. Those girls were Halee Nurnberger, Salena Pottebaum and Martha Noelker."
Washington has four seniors on the team who played in their final game. Those players are Overschmidt, Baer, Monroig and Bourne.
"As far as next year, I expect us to get better. For some of these girls, it will be their third year together on varsity. That should definitely help due to the familiarity that they will have for one another," Lanemann said. "We will need players to step up and be leaders, replacing the four awesome seniors that we are losing. We will get back at it pretty quickly with our summer program and begin the process of improving for next year."

Serious Preparations For Vertical Descent
Altona, which is but a suburb of Hamburg, is the terminus of the Kiel railway, which was
to carry us to the Belts. In twenty minutes we were in Holstein.
At half-past six the carriage stopped at the station; my uncle's numerous packages, his
voluminous IMPEDIMENTA, were unloaded, removed, labelled, weighed, put into the
luggage vans, and at seven we were seated face to face in our compartment. The whistle
sounded, the engine started, we were off.
Was I resigned? No, not yet. Yet the cool morning air and the scenes on the road, rapidly
changed by the swiftness of the train, drew me away somewhat from my sad reflections.
As for the Professor's reflections, they went far in advance of the swiftest express. We
were alone in the carriage, but we sat in silence. My uncle examined all his pockets and
his travelling bag with the minutest care. I saw that he had not forgotten the smallest
matter of detail.
Amongst other documents, a sheet of paper, carefully folded, bore the heading of the
Danish consulate with the signature of W. Christiensen, consul at Hamburg and the
Professor's friend. With this we possessed the proper introductions to the Governor of
I also observed the famous document most carefully laid up in a secret pocket in his
portfolio. I bestowed a malediction upon it, and then proceeded to examine the country.
It was a very long succession of uninteresting loamy and fertile flats, a very easy country
for the construction of railways, and propitious for the laying-down of these direct level
lines so dear to railway companies.
I had no time to get tired of the monotony; for in three hours we stopped at Kiel, close to
the sea.
The luggage being labelled for Copenhagen, we had no occasion to look after it. Yet the
Professor watched every article with jealous vigilance, until all were safe on board. There
they disappeared in the hold.
My uncle, notwithstanding his hurry, had so well calculated the relations between the
train and the steamer that we had a whole day to spare. The steamer ELLENORA, did not
start until night. Thence sprang a feverish state of excitement in which the impatient
irascible traveller devoted to perdition the railway directors and the steamboat companies
and the governments which allowed such intolerable slowness. I was obliged to act
chorus to him when he attacked the captain of the ELLENORA upon this subject. The
captain disposed of us summarily.

Jules Massenet
born in Montaud, Loire, France, composed during the Romantic period
Massenet was born in Montaud, France, to the family of a struggling metal worker. At the tender age of 10, he was admitted to the Paris Conservatory, where he studied with famed operatic composer Ambroise Thomas. In 1863, Massenet won the Prix de Rome, a prize which allowed him to travel and study in Italy. There the young man experienced the sounds and textures of the region and began to compose in earnest. While in Italy, Massenet met Liszt, who introduced him to his future wife, Mademoiselle Sainte-Marie.
Massenet's first opera, a one-act entitled La Grand' Tante (The Great Aunt), was produced (with only moderate success) at the Opéra-Comique in 1867. In 1877 Massenet's exotic opera Le Roi de Lahore (The King of Lahore) had a highly successful premiere at the Paris Opera, marking the beginning of his ascendancy as France's most prolific and celebrated operatic composer.
In 1878, his former teacher, Thomas, invited him to become a professor at the Paris Conservatory. Massenet achieved considerable success as a teacher, influencing an entire generation of French composers, including Gustav Charpentier and the song composer Reynaldo Hahn.
A highly prolific composer, Massenet worked continuously throughout his life, completing a great deal of music in addition to his 25 published operas. His approximately 250 songs often reflect the same melodic ingenuity and expressiveness that define his operatic works. Massenet composed several song cycles, including Poéme d'Avril (April Poem), which is often identified as the first French song cycle. Among the most famous of his solo songs are "Ouvre tes yeux bleus" (Open your blue eyes) and "Si tu veux, Mignonne" (If you wish it, sweetheart). The composer's First Orchestral Suite (originally entitled Symphony in F) premiered in 1867. This was the first of seven suites by Massenet, with programmatic subjects ranging from Alsace (Scènes alsaciennes, 1882) to Hungary (Scènes hongroises, 1871), and from Shakespeare (Scénes dramatiques, 1875) to Fairyland (Scènes de féerie, 1881). The most famous of his orchestral suites, Scénes pittoresques (Picturesque Scenes), was first performed in Paris during March of 1874. Massenet also composed several ballets, including La Cigale, Espada, and Les Rosati. In addition to Marie-Magdeleine, his oratorios include Ève (1875) and La Terre promise (The promised land, 1900). He wrote a considerable amount of incidental music for plays, including Sardou's Le Crocodile (1886) and Racine's Phèdre (1900). His only piano concerto was first performed in 1903 and receives occasional modern performances. ~ Robert Barefield, Rovi

The Big Day Out
Page Tools
Slipknot's Corey Taylor thrills the crowd
Photo: Jesse Marlow
RAS Showgrounds, January 31
Farewell, the giant pie in the sky. Sayonara, the oversized milk carton. Adios, the Country Women's Association Cafeteria.
The RAS Showgrounds figure prominently in the memories of many Melburnians. Most of us grew up patting cows, riding the Mad Mouse and gorging on show bags at the September show, and some finished their end-of-school exams there. The showgrounds were synonymous with freedom and fantasy, but with the travelling roadshow seemingly not a priority in the ground's impending redevelopment, the 12th Big Day Out will probably be its last.
But what a way to go out. We've seen some great shows here over the years - Ministry, Iggy Pop, the Ramones, the Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Underworld, Metallica, New Order, the Flaming Lips, the Chili Peppers, Joe Strummer - but there was little headbanging at the climax of the showground's likely swan song on Sunday.
It was bouncing, rapping and raving to the big beat hybrid sounds of two of the best festival bands going around, the Beastie Boys and the Chemical Brothers.
The Beastie Boys turned on a stunning greatest-hits set that featured a rotating stage, costume changes (tracksuits, lounge suits, T-shirts), video projections and, simply, 75 minutes of pure bratty glee. The only other main-stage band to bring a welcome sense of humour to the day was Sweden's the Hives, with charismatic singer Pelle Almqvist at his tongue-in-cheek, air-kicking best, seemingly with energy to burn despite a (by all reports) monster headlining show the previous night at the Corner.
For the bulk of the afternoon, the aggressive rock and metal sounds of System of a Down, Slipknot and Grinspoon filled up the main arena, but on smaller stages, reliably good Australian rock bands were thrilling thousands. Wolfmother, Spencer P Jones and the Escape Committee, Butterfingers, Dallas Crane, Dan Brodie, the Mess Hall, Black Cab, the Cops, Regurgitator and the Spazzys all played solid sets without the hype and bluster of some of their more famous peers.
Brisbane's Butterfingers played one of the vibiest sets of the day. Similar to their pioneering hip-hop brethren the Beastie Boys, the tight four-piece meld hip-hip, rock, ska and thrash metal into distinctly Australian anthems, and had the large crowd singing along to their Suicidal Tendencies-meets-Public Enemy-meets-Eminem sound.
But the Big Day Out always offers plenty of choice, and many chose to end their day on the more intimate Triple R stage, which was transformed into the Church of the Polyphonic Spree. Euphoria and gleeful smiles abounded as band leader Tim deLaughter and his 23-piece Texan symphonic pop group danced exuberantly, like Hare Krishnas on acid, to their cacophony of ethereal harp, theremin, horns, strings, guitars and led the crowd in a mass ohm and singalongs to Two Thousand Places: "You gotta be good, you gotta be strong, you gotta be 2000 places at once."
Aussie rockers Wolfmother: reliably good.

Similar to the stage closers last year, the Flaming Lips, this was pure elation - festival entertainment at its best - and an epic end to an era.

Hi Jim,
You can find a reviews of the Cocoon 90 Quilt here:Feb 6, 2009 at 11:12 am #1475879
Cayenne RedmonkBPL Member
@redmonkLocale: Greater California Ecosystem
I have an 11.6oz, red, BPL 90 quilt, size regular.
I'm 5'9", 160lbs.
I find the cut of the quilt fine for sleeping on my back, or stomach. I find the quilt a little restrictive through the foot tube for curling up into a fetal position, I'd prefer the tube be 6-10 inches shorter. I mostly sleep on my side, and have generally had no problems getting full coverage with this quilt.
I pair my quilt with montbell thermawrap pants, and an REI spruce run jacket. I like to cook and hang around outside in the evenings, so I find this combination better for me than a heavier quilt. With this combination I've been comfortable in temperatures where the overnight minimum reaches the low 30Fs. I use a POE ether-thermo6 short pad, and foam from gossamer gear under my heels for insulation.
I would estimate that this quilt is designed for temperatures around 45-50F, perhaps using long underwear for the 40s. Below that you will want to think about adding in some insulated clothing to get comfortable sleep.Feb 6, 2009 at 11:13 am #1475880

Any experience/feedback on how roomy the large size is for a winter top bag?
Since the bottom portion is sewn, I'm concerned about wheteher its roomy enough to go over the foot of a higher loft down bag without too much compression.Feb 6, 2009 at 12:02 pm #1475893

Size regular
Its pretty minimal. I find it constrictive myslef and for me its near impossible to easily turn on my side without exposing my back. I have used it on 6 nights and shivered on 5. I myself would not take it near 30 degrees. One time I did and survived but just marginally I would say. I am thinking about cutting open the foot and using it as a blanket.Feb 6, 2009 at 10:27 pm #1476007

@derekcoxLocale: Southeast
I would say the 60 is only good to about 50 degrees or so. It's pretty minimal and if you think you are going to be pushing it's limits…you probably are. I would use it for summer when it only gets down to 60s or so at night…just enough that you want something to cover yourself up.Feb 6, 2009 at 10:48 pm #1476009

I should write a full review of my UL 60 for the reviews section, but have not done so yet. I'll state briefly my feelings of this product here as the original poster is hoping to retrieve info about both the 60 and the 90.
The Cocoon UL 60 is about as minimal a quilt as can be attained on the market today. If you are considering sleeping in full-on summer conditions in low to mid elevations you will find this quilt more than sufficient in any temperature commonly found in the summer time.
If you are considering sleeping in conditions or a location (such as hollow or near a lake at the bottom of a mountain drainage) where temperatures are going to drop to colder than the average lows related to that area the quilt may push your limits.
I take the UL 60 quilt along with the UL 60 Vest and a Gossamer Gear Thinlite as my primary sleeping system for my SUL (sub five lb.) trips and I've shivered through a couple nights with it. The trips I've shivered through were at eight or nine thousand feet above sea level with limited site selection options.
Take these words as a means of basing your judgement on what kind of experiences you might have. Take into consideration that I'm a cold sleeper (a 25 deg quilt keeps me warm to about 30 deg) so what might make me cold at 50 will make others cold at 30.Feb 7, 2009 at 9:03 am #1476041
David UreMember
"I've shivered through a couple nights with it"
I appreciate the review and the quest for a sub 5 pound base weight but this sounds completely dangerous. Is this what going SUL is all about?
I backpack in the high rocky mountains where weather can vary 40F from trailhead to camp. I personally can't trust something that might just get me through the night. Fitfull sleep and you are not going to perform in any meaningful fashion the next day, are you?Feb 7, 2009 at 9:25 am #1476043
Martin RyeBPL Member
@rye1966Locale: UK
Sam are you with this set up always sleeping in a bivy bag as well. This would add warmth. Quilts intrigue me. I am tall and have read others who are tall saying they get cold with quilts. I ain't sure they would be for me, but am very interested in hearing how people get on with them with out using a bivy.Feb 7, 2009 at 9:45 am #1476045
todd harperBPL Member
@funnymoLocale: Sunshine State
Unless I'm in a hammock, I always use a bivy with my quilt. I'm 6'2", but that's not why I use the bivy (my height never has been an issue). I switch from side to side and to my back, so I'm prone to temporary drafts if I don't use my Equinox bivy.
All that said, I love my No Sniveller from Jacks R Better. In fact, unless temps are too warm for it it's my go-to insulation. I am going to make a lighter quilt w/
Climashield XP 2.5oz – should be similar to the BPL in some respects.

Martin RyeBPL Member
@rye1966Locale: UK
Todd that is helpful. You said .."so I'm prone to temporary drafts if I don't use my Equinox bivy".. due to turning on your side etc. I sleep on my side and use a tent. Wet in the UK and so I don't go the tarp route. I would not be using a bivy. So maybe the quilt would not work. Then in summer it would be great if it was hot. They are light and pack small. That appeals. Thanks for the feed back.Feb 7, 2009 at 1:36 pm #1476078
todd harperBPL Member
@funnymoLocale: Sunshine State
In a tent, I've found using a quilt no different than waking up occasionally in my bed at home – when I roll over and have to adjust the covers a bit. No bother at all.
So try opening your bag one night in a tent and use as a quilt to see if you like it. If it works, then take the plunge!

In Front of the Gare Saint-Lazare, Paris, 1992

63.5 x 71.2 cm; image: 37.9 x 46.1 cm
Purchased 2003
Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography (no. 2003.11)
© Geoffrey James
The photographer faces the rue d'Amsterdam, one of a series of streets in the neighbourhood named after major European cities. The Gare Saint-Lazare, the oldest railway station in Paris, is just beyond the frame of James' photograph of the Cour du Havre. Originally constructed in 1837, slightly to the north of its current location, the station was rebuilt four years later. Major reconstruction began again in 1885 in preparation for the Universal Exhibition of 1889; it was at this point that the Cour du Havre was built. As a representation of modernity, the Gare Saint-Lazare became an emblem for the Impressionist painters, especially Édouard Manet and Claude Monet. A work by the French-American sculptor Arman, "L'Heure de Tous", a totem pole of clocks welded together, each stopped at a different time, was installed in the Cour du Havre in 1985 and is visible to the left of James' photograph.

Rome: Total War series
> Is alexander worth it?
View Full Version :
Is alexander worth it?
Alexander is cheap now, 3.30 or so, is it worth it? I got rome for 2.50 during Christmas sale.
Yes and no.
Yes, because it's quite cheap and the campaign is interesting to play through once, maybe twice. It's a race to create an empire and it's a nice change from the Roman units to the Greek units (I like phalanx armies).
No, because you'll only play it a few times. It doesn't have the replay value that Rome (or even Barbarian Invasion has). It also doesn't have the strategic variety of the other two--it really is just a race.
But at the current price, if you're even asking (which means you have an interest), it's probably more than worth it. What's a few dollars for 10 to 15 hours of playtime?
I bought it a while ago, and recently I've been looking forward to playing it, after watching youtube documentaries and reading a lot on wikipedia and at my local library, about Alexander the Great's tactical genius in famous battles, like Gaugamela. :D
On the other hand, I am worried that I might mess up, by not thinking and ordering units around quickly enough, and so lose too many troops to continue the campaign momentum that Alexander himself practiced. (I have read that the Alexander expansion is more frantic than Rome TW vanilla, and requires the player to gain victory within 100 turns, while Alexander is still alive.)
So I am going to go back to play some Rome TW vanilla a bit first, practicing quick-thinking, fast unit management and trying out various classical tactics, until I feel more confident. :D Yeah. I am going to play as Carthage this time, and recreate the victories of Hannibal over Rome, but then I plan to succeed where Hannibal failed (mainly because I will control the purse-strings of Carthage, and be more generous in supporting Hannibal than those selfish lords were in real life).
And then I reckon I'll play as Gaul, helping Vercingetorix and his pals to defeat Rome, instead of being conquered. :D
Yeah, then I reckon I'll be ready to face the challenge of equalling the successes of Alexander the Great (well in a computer game, at least). :D

-- Former Washington assistant Tosh Lupoi is serving as an "intern" on Alabama's 2014 football staff, Nick Saban said Wednesday.
Lupoi, who has been with the program for at least a week, was left without a job after a recent NCAA investigation into allegations that he provided improper benefits to a high school recruit.The NCAA formally cleared Lupoi in early February and did not levy any penalties.
"He's going to be an intern, and he's got a lot of good experience both coaching and recruiting," Saban said. "He didn't get a job this year, didn't have any issues relative to the way we checked him out with the NCAA, which we do with everybody that we hire."
Saban also confirmed thatTyler Siskey, who was Alabama's assistant director of player personnel in 2013, is the Crimson Tide's new Director of Player Personnel. The position opened when Kevin Steele moved back to the field as inside linebackers coach.
Saban said Alabama didn't necessarily hire a replacement for Siskey, but Lupoi will take on some tasks from "an internship standpoint."
"He's going to be an intern that helps us some in recruiting," Saban said. "A lot in the electronic media part of recruiting, which is something that we feel like we need to improve."
Lupoi, 32, was a defensive end at Cal from 2000-2005. He landed on the Golden Bears' staff first as a graduate assistant and then as defensive line coach.He gained national prominence as a recruiter when he was named the 2010 Recruiter of the Year, and the Bears' recruiting classes were ranked in the top 20 during his final two seasons.
Lupoi left his alma mater in 2012 to join Steve Sarkisian's staff at Washington, but was left in limbo when Sarkisian left for USC because of a six-week NCAA investigation into allegations of improper benefits.
In the midst of the investigation, Lupoi and Washington agreed to a mutual separation agreement that paid him 0,000. Lupoi made an annual salary of 0,000 in his final season with the Huskies.Thank you for subscribing. You should receive your first newsletter within 24 hours.

Canada housing agency cuts 2013 forecast, sees firmer 2014
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's federal housing agency scaled back its forecast for homebuilding in 2013 on Friday, saying that a slowdown in economic growth and job gains will dampen demand for new homes, the latest sign that Canada's housing market is cooling rapidly.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp said that while it expects the housing market slowdown that hit in the second half of 2012 will continue into 2013, it believes momentum will return later in 2013 and 2014.
"CMHC expects housing construction activity will trend lower in the first half of 2013, before gaining more momentum by the end of the year as economic and employment growth remain supportive of the Canadian housing market," CMHC Deputy Chief Economist Mathieu Laberge said in a statement.
"In 2014, improving economic conditions may be partially offset by a slight moderation in the number of first-time homebuyers, and potential small and steady increases in mortgage interest rates."
Canada's housing market, which roared higher in 2011 and the first half of 2012 aided by low interest rates, started slowing after the federal government tightened rules on mortgage lending in July in a bid to cool things down and prevent home buyers from taking on too much debt.
Economists are divided over whether the market will manage a soft landing or stage a U.S.-style crash. While sales have slowed and prices have begun to fall on a monthly basis, national home prices are still well above year-earlier levels.
In its quarterly outlook, CMHC said housing starts will be in the range of 178,600 to 202,000 units in 2013, with the most likely outcome 190,300 starts. That is down from 214,827 starts in 2012 and compares with the agency's November forecast for 2013 housing starts in the range of 177,300 to 209,900.
Homebuilding should then stabilize in 2014, with starts in the range of 171,200 to 217,000 units, and a most likely outcome of 194,100, the agency said. Continued...

A Near Miss That's Hard to See
A friend of mine asked whether asteroid 2005 YU55, which will pass between the Earth and the Moon tomorrow, will be visible to the naked eye, since it's bigger than the International Space Station (which we can see passing overhead).
The short answer is no. At 400 metres in diameter, 2005 YU55 is bigger than the ISS, which is 109 metres wide along its truss. But the space station is a lot closer: it orbits at an altitude of between 376 and 398 kilometres. 2005 YU55, on the other hand, will pass by at a distance of around 325,000 kilometres — more than 800 times further away.
There are additional complications. 2005 YU55 is a C-type asteroid made of carbonaceous materials and is as such very dark. Universe Today's Jason Major says that it's "effectively darker than coal, reflecting less than 1% of the sunlight that it receives." And we're approaching full moon, which will wash out dimmer objects in the sky. Observing guides suggest that a telescope with at least six inches of aperture will be required to see it (Astroguyz, Space.com). That's not to say that there aren't plans to observe it or image it, but Hale-Bopp this ain't. You'll need equipment.

Go Parks!
October means tree planting season with NYC Parks. It's that time of year when thousands of volunteers come together to plant new street trees throughout the five boroughs, including more than 350 street trees in Far Rockaway alone. This fall, NYC Parks will plant by the block in Parkchester, West Farms, Fordham Manor, Bronxwood, and Bronxdale in the Bronx; East New York and Sunset Park in Brooklyn; the Rockaways and St. Albans in Queens; and Bulls Head, Great Kills, and Pleasant Plains in Staten Island. And those are just some of the areas.
Historically, the maritime communities including the Rockaways have suffered environmental abuse now being addressed by environmentalists within the Parks department and without. Restoration includes the removal of debris and vines, and very importantly, replanting with native trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses that will help enhance a network of coastal habitats for migrating birds, improve waterfront access for residents and visitors, and create a more resilient buffer for the community in the face of a changing climate. Trees clean the air, too, and provide shade and cool ambient temperatures in the warmer months. They provide shelter for wildlife and, of course, beautify our city.
We invite you to check out all the ways you can volunteer to help care for the newly planted trees on streets and in parks throughout the Rockaways. If you are eighteenyears old or older, you can become a tree steward and get free training and tools. Just as important as planting new trees is caring for them. MillionTreesNYC offers an array of stewardship programs to get New Yorkers outside and lending some "TreeLC" to our leafy friends. You can find tons of resources for tree care on www.milliontreesnyc.org, including our "TreeLC library" with tips for watering, mulching, and planting flowers in tree beds as well as our "Adopt-a- Tree" map which you can use to locate trees in your neighborhood. Check out the community calendar on the MillionTreesNYC web site for upcoming tree care workshops and events in your neck of the woods and throughout the city at http://www.milliontreesnyc.org/html/calendar/calendar.shtml.
Not only does NYC Parks provide resources and stewardship opportunities for street trees, we want volunteers to help care for the tens of thousands of new forest trees planted last spring across all five boroughs. You can help to take care of your neighborhood's newest green asset—your growing forests which function as the lungs of the city and contribute to a healthy ecosystem in a meaningful way that can inspire your friends and family and connect you directly to part of what makes our urban greenscape great. Volunteers help pull weeds, remove invasive vegetation, add mulch, and clean up litter building in the areas in which we reforest. It's a great activity for students, parents, retirees, and nature-lovers of all kinds. To find out more about reforestation tree care projects, visit NYC Parks' Natural Areas Volunteers web page: http://www.nycgovparks.org/registration/nav or call (212)360-3318.
However you choose to give a little "TreeLC," thanks a million. It's definitely a great season to Go Park!
Morgan Monaco is the Director of MillionTreesNYC for NYC Parks.

CSFB Repeats Strong Buy on VeriSign
VeriSign (VRSN ) posted $0.23 vs. $0.02 Q1 EPS (pro forma) on a sharp revenue rise. CS First Boston reiterated its strong buy rating on the shares.
Analyst Todd Raker says VeriSign reported better-than-expected results, with the upside resulting from strong performance across all businesses. He notes deferred revenue grew 7% sequentially; the renewal rate on domain names appeared to be tracking well above expectations. The company also announced a $350 million stock buyback. Raker says that given the company's deferred revenue model, and visibility even in a tough macro climate, he thinks VeriSign should trade at the high end of the software infrastructure group. He cut his price target to $100 as a result of changes to his discounted cash flow model.

Back in October of lasst year we learned that Lifetime TV will release a new version of Steel Magnolias starring an all African American cast. Today we get our first look at the first preview trailer for this new version of Magnolias starring Queen Latifah, Alfre Woodard, Phylicia Rashad, Jill Scott, Adepero Oduye and Condola Rashad. Now, I love the original film version of Steel Magnolias so it would take a lot for a remake to impress me … but I will admit, I was impressed by the actresses who have been cast in this new version. Click below to see these amazing actresses in action and see what YOU think of this new incarnation of Steel Magnolias.
Wow. I mean … wow. Based solely on this preview clip, it looks like this new version of Steel Magnolias hits all the right emotional parts that the original film does. Yes, there does seem to be some weaknesses, after all … it's difficult for someone to take Dolly Parton's place (sorry Jill Scott) but I am really loving what we see here. I'm impressed, yes, but more than that … I'm really excited and looking forward to this movie! Thus far, there is no set release date for Steel Magnolias but I'll update when I can. This looks so great, don't it?

One question Reinvention Team members often get is; "What are you working on that is going to help me?"
The question is a good one because it demonstrates that faculty and staff are genuinely concerned about improving what they are able to do in their jobs to help our students. Or when asked by students, the question looks for ways to help students understand how to get more out of their City Colleges experience.
During the spring semester, the Student Support and Services task force began to take a closer look at City Colleges' processes to determine the best ways to make tutoring more available and effective for our students. In doing so, we hope to make recommendations that support the District mission by promoting consistency in management and delivery of services for our students. The areas we hope to address with tutoring are:
- Develop consistency of services
- Strengthen communication between college tutoring centers
- Train tutors and provide regular professional development opportunities
- Recommend assessment practices used by all colleges
- Implement GradesFirst in scheduling and providing student, advisor, and faculty feedback
- Investigate alternative tutoring options (e.g. online) available to assist students during weekends and evenings
As part of our efforts to fully understand the current tutoring services on each campus, we investigated current tutoring practices at all colleges, examined the multiple job descriptions for tutors, researched tutoring best practices at other institutions, explored professional development and training organizations specifically for tutors (particularly, National Tutoring Association and College Reading and Learning Association). We also conducted campus surveys and focus groups targeting students, college tutor coordinators, tutors, faculty and advisors. Finally, we explored some online tutoring options available for students. Through our research, information gathering, and analysis we will make recommendations that promote uniformity amongst the colleges in services and staffing, as well as increase greater communication among the various tutoring centers.
For example, one area we're examining further is the disparities between tutoring staff among colleges. Some colleges have less than twenty tutors while others have over forty. Through our research efforts, we hope to examine the impact those numbers have on tutoring services and student retention and develop a formula for determining a more accurate tutor number. Additionally, the popularity and effectiveness of embedded classroom tutors will also play a factor in the tutor count as well as the ratio between student tutors and professional tutors.
Those are just a few things we hope to examine further this fall as part of our research efforts on tutoring. We hope in doing so that, for CCC students… Help is on the Way!
We need your continued help as well. So if you have suggestions, please share.
– Stephanie Owen, Student Support and Services Task Force

rinpoche brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 40 Designs von 15 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
This will be a logo for a personal brand which will be used on a web site as well as to promote a book.
One Legged Samurai
I am looking for an extremely bold iconic + text logo that reflects the samurai theme. I am most likely to go with a theme that blends feudal japanese elements such as a samurai helmet, or brush strokes, with a modern touch.
The theme of the website is empowerment to overcome obstacles. The target market is young professionals.
- colors should be black and a primary such as red or blue
- The icon part of the logo should be able to stand alone from teh text
- One idea is to make the iconic part circular like samurai family crests
- The logo can be Web 2.0 style as long as it is bold and evokes the correct feel.
- I don't want anything cartoonish
- Nothing timid

Shower pan install
installing 36x36 pan into 37x36 framed opening. 36 from entrance to back wall. 37 from side to side leaving 1/2 inch gap on each side. it seems that the existing dry wall above the shower side walls will not match up if pan is centered in opening. or do I push pan into corner and leave a 1 inch gap on one side wall and deal with that. ANY help would be great. First time for shower install and any info would be appreciated. thank you.
Most shower pans I have installed go to framing not drywall.
And then I would not want drywall in a shower anyways.
I would measure up 6' and cut the drywall at that hight, install the pan to framing and then fur out the other side to correct dimension and use hardibacker or durrock to replace the drywall.
I would only suggest not furring out the wall with the shower valve. Keep it more simple.
But typically the pan goes to framing and the hardibacker slides over the lip of the pan.
I have seen retro fit pans that go into a drywalled space and then has fiberglass walls that attach to the drywall and sit on pan, is probably what you are talking about.
In this case, slide it to the wall not centered, and just deal with furring out one side as needed.
1" is a pain to fur out, maybe strips of 3/4 wood and 1/4" drywall, two layers of 1/2" drywall?
Just depends on exact amount needed, maybe enough forgiveness in side panels that 1 layer of 5/8" would work.
Anyway you go will need a piece of corner bead mudded in and finished, why shove to one side and only one corner and not 2 to finish.
Bad advice Funtool---or confusing anyway-----
The pan must go tight to the framing---if the framing is to big fur it out with wood strips or sister in entire 2x4s along side the existing ones----
The backer board does not cover the flange of the pan--it stops at the top of the flange--if you cover the flange the backer will be bent because the flange is thicker than the studs---
Fill that void with thinset as you tile--If you are coating the backer board with a paint on waterproofing like Red Guard---fill the void before coating---tilers mesh on all seams---
Set the pan into a bed of masons mortar to prevent voids under the pan----Mike-----
Mike, I still luvs you :thumbup:
I do think my post may be confusing, my first thought was a shower pan and tiled walls.
After writing what I did, I realized it may be a shower kit that would be installed to drywall and added the second portion of post.
I dunno about others, I hate shower kits, they always seem to leak, or have some other issue.
Last one I installed, went to home depot and bought most expensive one they had, about $700 ... 6 months later was back for a leak and door adjustment.
Just a pain in the but and would prefer to build my own.
But about mounting the pan to studs and drywall or cement board over the flange, I stand by that.
Even a cast iron bathtub has a 1" to 1 1/2" flange to attach to framing.
Flange is about 1/8" thick, just a nailing flange to attach to the framing.
Is designed to run the wall board over it so water is directed into the tub or shower pan, if you stopped the wall board above it, would have a big gap to fill with thinset or in this case will be a fiberglass wall surround.
Either tile or fiberglass, will never see the 1/8" at the bottom.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out. I hope to tell you a success story soon. thanks again. Monte Preuitt
Thank you for your reply. I am very happy with both of your responses and so quickly. Now to go do some damage to my bathroom and my pride, Thanks again Monte Preuitt
You didn't mention furring out the walls to bring the backer over the flange without bending in your original post---that is an acceptable method if it doesn't goof up the transition from the backer to the drywall around the rest of the room.
I just use lattis strips to shim out the studs and just tack them in place with finish nails.

It was the 44th pole of the newly-crowned champion's career and his eighth of the season.
Austin – Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel has claimed pole position for the United States Grand Prix, having set a time of 1m36.338s on Pirelli's P Zero White medium tyre, which is nominated along with the P Zero Orange hard tyre this weekend. It was the 44th pole of the newly-crowned champion's career and his eighth of the season.
Qualifying got underway in ambient temperatures of 27 degrees with a strong wind. Williams driver Valtteri Bottas went fastest in Q1 on the medium compound tyres, which all the drivers who completed a second run used by the end of the session.
All the drivers who went through to Q2 used the medium tyres from the beginning of the session, with Vettel leading his team mate Mark Webber by the end of the session as track temperatures fell slightly.
The final top 10 again used the medium tyre only during Q3. Vettel set pole position on his second run, in the closing seconds of the session – having made the difference over his team mate in the last sector of the lap.
The final free practice session this morning was another Red Bull one-two, with Vettel leading Webber. Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton was third, with the top times coming right at the end of FP3 when the drivers ran qualifying simulations on the medium tyres.
Pirelli's motorsport director Paul Hembery said: "Our tyre choice here is on the conservative side, which means that getting the tyres up to the right temperature was important. That was not necessarily an easy task today as the track temperature actually fell slightly during the session, which is not the normal pattern we see in qualifying.
With variable winds and temperatures throughout the afternoon, it wasn't a particularly easy session for anybody. The track has still been evolving today, but tyre wear and degradation should not be a considerable factor for the race with either compound. As a result, we will probably see just one pit stop for most runners, as was the case last year."
The Pirelli mystery strategy predictor:
One stop is theoretically the quickest way to complete the 56-lap United States Grand Prix. The fastest strategy should be to start on the medium, change to the hard on lap 19 and then continue to the finish.
An alternative (resulting in the same overall race time) is to start on the hard tyre, change to the medium on lap 37, and then go to the finish.
Some drivers may try a two-stop strategy, if they feel there is enough speed in the car to make it work. In this case, the fastest strategy is to start on the medium tyre, change to the hard tyre on lap 10, and then change to the hard again on lap 33.

Apr 6, 2012 - By Ben Neary, The Associated PressCHEYENNE -- The State of Wyoming has admitted that state officials violated the constitutional rights of members of an anti-abortion group by removing a display of materials they posted last year in a tunnel leading to the state Capitol.
Under a settlement approved Thursday by U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal, the state agreed to pay WyWatch Family Action $1 in nominal damages and $30,000 in attorney fees.
Rich Cathcart, head of the Wyoming State Building Commission, has said he ordered two WyWatch poster boards in the tunnel removed last year after receiving complaints. One poster featured a picture of an unborn fetus and the other a group of women saying that they regretted getting abortions.
Cathcart has said he decided the posters were unacceptable because they were graphic and shouldn't be viewed by children who pass through the area during the legislative session.
After WyWatch filed its lawsuit early this year, the State Building Commission, which includes Gov. Matt Mead and the other four statewide elected officials, enacted a new policy banning all public displays of materials in the tunnel area.
Becky Vandeberghe, chairman of WyWatch, said Thursday that her board of directors is pleased that the state recognizes that it infringed on members' constitutionally protected speech.
"It's sad that it took such drastic measures to bring that about, but it's even sadder that state officials decided to address the problem by stifling more free speech, not less," Vandeberghe said in a prepared statement.
Attempts to reach lawyers with the Wyoming Attorney General's Office for comment on the settlement were unsuccessful.
Freudenthal had allowed the American Civil Liberties Union of Wyoming to intervene on behalf of WyWatch.
Linda Burt, head of the ACLU in Wyoming, said Thursday the case was important in terms of protecting free speech rights.
"It was the right decision. We are also pleased to see this outcome," she said.
Jonathan Scruggs, a lawyer who represents WyWatch Family Action, said Thursday that the settlement should send a clear message to Wyoming officials.
"It says that the government can't discriminate against pro-life messages just because of the content of those messages," Scruggs said of the settlement.

It's the final game of the year, and who else would you want to come calling other than the Pittsburgh Steelers? The Steelers sit at 11-4 with a lot to play for still. If the Cincinnati Bengals make it into the playoffs by virtue of beating the Baltimore Ravens at home, a Steelers win makes them the #2 seed (and depending on New England's result, possibly the top seed) with a first-round bye and home playoff game instead of taking it on the road opening weekend of the playoffs.
For the Browns, Colt McCoy, Jordan Norwood, and Tony Pashos (fist pump!) will be inactive for the Browns this afternoon as Seneca Wallace and Artis Hicks will start at quarterback and right tackle. For the Steelers, linebacker Lamarr Woodley, running back Mewelde Moore, and offensive lineman Dan Legursky are out, but Ben Roethlisberger will at least start the game as will Troy Polamalu. The hope, I'm sure, is that a 17-0 or 21-0 start for Pittsburgh may allow them to sit these guys by halftime.
I'd be lying if I told you I was pulling real hard for the Browns to win this one. I hate the Steelers as much as the next guy, but I also hate missing the chance to draft a guy with the 5th pick (or 3rd or 4th) just because I wanted to feel good for a few hours following this one. This draft class may not be the best, but I'd much rather be in the position the Browns are set up to have now than finishing 5-11 and dropping to 8th potentially.
If the Browns do want to win, though, it will involve stopping Rashard Mendenhall first and foremost. The Browns forced three turnovers in the last game, and they'll need something dramatic like that to stun Pittsburgh with something on the line. The wind and Big Ben's limited mobility may limit the Steeler passing game slightly, but I see the Browns struggling to cover Antonio Brown, Ward, and Heath Miller with Sheldon Brown, Patterson, Adams, and Young.
On offense, Peyton Hillis has one last chance to make a big impression and not make this his last game in a Browns' uniform. Do the Browns need to get creative and dial up some Josh Cribbs/Seneca Wallace trickeraton? I say yes.
Game, draft, Steeler hatred, it's all fair game in the comments section. Have at it!

I checked on my bees a few days before Christmas and it looked like I needed to feed them. about four days later I went out with some sugar and they were all dead. There was a cluster of them between some of the frames, but all dead. It was actually warmer during that time than it had been in the few weeks before, but I'm wondering if opening the hive that day let out enough heat to kill the bees (it was probably 20 that day, but much colder in the weeks leading up to it).
I'm going to need more bees, of course, so my question is if there is a beesource people would recommend for cold Colorado winters. I got the last batch from a place in Texas, and I'm wondering if they just weren't able to adjust to -12 or whatever it was we had in early December.

Country Throwdown Artists Pitch in for Flood Relief
Fans attending the Country Throwdown tour can see performances by more than 20 country stars all in one day … and help out a great cause at the same time. Organizers of the tour, which kicked off last weekend in Florida, have announced that they are donating all proceeds from merchandise sales to help Nashville recover from the devastating floods that ravaged the area earlier this month. A portion of the money from each ticket will also go towards the worthwhile cause.
"We have new shirts and new ball caps and a lot of new items out there," says Montgomery Gentry's Troy Gentry. "No matter who your favorite artist is out here, we're all lending in a helping hand at the merchandise table."
Montgomery Gentry are joined by Jamey Johnson, Jack Ingram, Heidi Newfield, Eric Church, Little Big Town and more than a dozen other country acts as part of one show. "The first weekend out at the Throwdown tour was an off the hook crazy time!," says Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry. "And that's how I think live music should be, everybody there was having so much fun and it didn't cost the fans a whole lot of money."
"I loved it! It's the closest thing to a traveling circus I've ever been a part of," adds Jack Ingram. "The vibe is organic, fun, inspiring and exciting. It's everything an artist would want, and more importantly it's everything country music fans need."
The tour will wrap up June 20 in Mountain View, Calif. Get tickets and a full list of tour dates here.

Thursday, April 2, 2009
College students dream of the day they get to start their lives in the professional field of their choice, but sophomore Kari Hilmes already is getting a second go-around of that dream this summer.
Her field choice: theater.
Hilmes will be hitting the stage at Brownville Village Theater, a Summer Stock repertory theater in Brownville, Neb.
The theater produces five shows during the course of the summer, and Hilmes will be acting in three of those shows.
She also will act as the company prop master for all five shows.
"I'm nervous because it's very intense. It wipes out my entire summer," she said. "It's May 22 through Aug. 18."
Hilmes got her first taste of professional theater last summer while working with Gypsy Theater Company from New York City.
The group toured around the Midwest for the entire summer.
Hilmes said she enjoyed her first professional experience and was ready for another.
Hilmes auditioned in January for Brownville Village Theater during the American Collegiate Theater Festival.
She received word Feb. 1 that the company had hired her, and she received her scripts Tuesday.
"We have to come prepared (May 22) with all of our lines memorized and then we go through two weeks of rehearsal and then open all five shows at once, so it's very time demanding," Hilmes said. "But, it's a great way to jump into the field. If you can survive Summer Stock theater, you know you can handle working in any equity house where there's just one show at a time."
Hilmes will play a maid named Penelope in a comedy called "Wake Up Darling," a murderer named Stella in "The Uninvited" and a wife named Eve in "Holiday Snap" while working at Brownville Village Theater.
Junior Justin Whittaker, who's worked with Hilmes in Baker's theater, said she is deserving of this experience.
"She's a hard worker, and she's always very reliable and everything," he said. "I think it will be a good learning experience and a lot of fun."
Sophomore Courtney West, who also has worked with Hilmes, said she is deserving of the job.
"It's great that she gets to do something over the summer that she gets paid for and really enjoys," West said.
As for Hilmes, she's looking forward to the experience, but will miss out on family time and her younger brother's high school graduation.
"I was debating whether or not to take this job because I wanted to spend time with my family," she said. "But they're kind of the ones who encouraged me to do it because this, theater, is what I want to do with my life."

4 th of July at Silver Lake Sand Dunes
looks like a great time
I love your LED marker lights on top of the cab, those are awesome at night time I bet! Did you make it to the top of that big a$$ hill, I would be afraid of rolling the truck down it sideways. Awesome pictures for sure, I am no where near sand dunes so I can honestly say I have never done or seen anything like that.
Looks like a lot of fun!!!
looks so fun!! great trucks!
nice looks like fun
Awesome, DOA!
I'm at the dunes almost every weekend with my truck or quad. I think I've only missed maybe 4 weekends since Mother's Day. Are you on SilverLakeForum.com? I'm MudGrl over there. :great:
I have not been over there in years. I need to plan a trip it's only 3 hours from my hose. Silver Lake sand dunes are a blast.
Looks like a lot of fun. Impact on your truck after running the dunes?
People think that you have to ride balls to the wall to make it up the hill, but it isn't true. At the bottom of the hill, drop it in second and give it some gas. I've broke cosmetic things (air dam...but who needs that anyway!?!?) but nothing big. Some people will break axles if they are reckless and drive like idiots.
Funny thing is, I'm closer to Silver Lake now that I don't live in Michigan, than I did when I lived in Michigan. LOL

Jeanne Achterberg is an internationally known authority on the use of imagery to heal the body. She is best known for developing the technique known as guided visualization, and she was recently featured in Time magazine as one of the top innovators in the field of alternative medicine. In 1999 she was diagnosed with ocular melanoma, a rare and often deadly form of cancer of the eye. Lightning at the Gate is the remarkable story of her illness and healing—a deeply personal memoir that is at turns haunting, humorous, biting, and exhilarating. This engaging and entertaining book demonstrates how a combination of critical thought, creativity, inner vision, and friendship can lead to profound healing.
In Lightning at the Gate, Achterberg writes, "The only way one stays alive after a serious diagnosis of cancer is to find one's vision." This captivating memoir documents her process of doing just that. Choosing to view her cancer as a metaphor, she draws on dreamwork, shamanism, healing imagery, prayer, rituals, songs, immune-stimulation therapy, and the loving care of friends to cure her illness. Lightning at the Gate ends in affirming Achterberg's core belief that we are healed not by medicine but by the bonds we create with each other: care, love, trust, hope, belief, and all the other invisible facets that have lost favor in modern health care.
Readers will benefit from seeing how a leader in alternative medicine approaches her own illness: how she weighs the information and choices presented to her by the Western medical establishment; how she advocates for herself; and how she finds her own, individual path back to health. Lightning at the Gate also offers fascinating first-hand accounts of cutting-edge alternative therapies. Also included is a valuable resource section listing books, websites, and organizations offering information on holistic methods of healing. This book is sure to become a must-read for anyone interested in alternative medicine and the healing arts.
News & Reviews

"The mystery of healing often becomes manifest in our lives when we are called upon to walk through the fires of personal illness and loss. In Lightning at the Gate , Jeanne Achterberg provides us with an unflinching and courageous look at her own healing journey—providing each of us with a road map for accessing inner wisdom in all its amazing guises."—Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause
"Lightning at the Gate is a page-turner that kept me up way past bedtime. It is far and away the best book about healing that I have ever read. Wise, hilariously funny, and deeply moving, this is one woman's honest account of the journey to wholeness. Thank you, Jeanne, for your courage in sharing your story."—Joan Boryshenko, Ph.D., author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind and Inner Peace for Busy People

Players more educated, but no more confident after returning from New York
|09.14.12 at 2:12 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Two-hundred-eighty-three players left this week's NHLPA meetings in New York without any promising news about the start of the season, but they came away from the meetings a heck of a lot smarter.
It isn't exactly easy to understand the nuts and bolts of the league's labor dispute as the owners and NHLPA try to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement, so players who entered the meetings as confused as the next guy at least left them a bit educated.
"I was taking notes," Tyler Seguin said on Friday. "Obviously there's a lot of stuff I'm not going to understand. We do the meetings and obviously I'm not going to get into much detail, but then we split up into our teams and talk about it amongst ourselves and our questions. It was good. I learned a lot. Going into that, I don't think I knew too much about HRR [hockey-related revenue] or anything like that and all the percentages and statistics, but I know a lot more about it now."
Dennis Seidenberg said that while the meetings were beneficial given the unity the players showed and the things they learned, he doesn't see any more reason for optimism now than he did before.
"The feeling is it hasn't really changed much," the defenseman said. "We were hoping that going to New York, we'd get some news in a positive way, but the main thing we did was get educated on what's going on and what our proposal looks like and how we're going forward from here. Other than that, not much has changed."
Said Gregory Campbell: "I think it's important to go to those meetings and definitely get the knowledge on what's going on. As players, it's really important to be informed. It's one thing to hear it on the phone or hear it from somebody else, but to actually go there and really be informed — this is our livelihood, so we really have to make sure that we're all on the same page."
The owners are set to lock the players out at midnight on Saturday. A vote led by Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs yielded unanimous agreement for the move on Thursday.
"Going to New York was probably a good idea at this point in time, just because with this date looming, I guess it seems like the inevitable that there will be a lockout," Campbell said. "We all have to be in the right frame of mind if and when this happens."

Essar Steel Algoma's steelworks is situated on a 1600-acre site located at the hub of the Great Lakes in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada. A fully integrated operation, the Algoma facility has a raw steel production capacity of approximately 4 million tons per year.
Algoma's cornerstone asset, the Direct Strip Production Complex is among the newest continuous, thin slab casters in North America coupled with direct hot rolling. This facility expands Algoma's thickness range and capability in high strength, low alloy (HSLA) and formable grades, offering superior surface quality and dimensional control.
In addition, Algoma's conventional slab caster produces 8" thick slabs that feed the 166" Plate Mill and the 106" Strip mill, offering added operating flexibility. The 106" Strip Mill is one of the widest in North America, capable of manufacturing sheet and light gauge plate to a maximum slit edge width of 96". Algoma's Plate Mill is highly automated, assuring product consistency across the entire product range. Using continuously cast steel slabs, the Plate Mill rolls both carbon and HSLA plate up to 3,860 mm (152") wide, the widest steel plate manufactured in Canada.
On the finishing end, Algoma's Heat-Treated Plate facility provides a full range of high quality heat treated products for abrasion resistant, ballistic and other specialty plate applications. The Cold Mill complex offers additional value added services including pickling, reducing, annealing, tempering and slitting.
Primary operations include three coke batteries, two blast furnaces, two basic oxygen furnaces, an LMF electric ladle and a CAS-OB chemical reheat ladle. A captive lime plant, material reprocessing operation and port complete the steelworks.

are you upgrading rims too? the stock mountain rims are 17 inches so you might want a 35x 12.50x R17
yes i am upgrading rims to, im getting kmc rockstars
Wait, 35" tires? Will they fit without a lift? I always thought 33s were the biggest you could go without lifting.
no im am lifting it as well sorry for the lack of detail... i am getting the 3.5in aev premium
I think BFG measure 34.5
Pitbull tires are supposed to run true to size...a 35" tire measures 35". They are not cheap tires though.
KM2'S!!!!!!! THERE AWESOME! They throw as much mud as the super swamped tsl's I used to run but they don't wear anywhere near as fast. Work awesome for crawling so I've heard, and I know they work great on wet roads.
:cool: Hankook Dynapros The LT295/75x16 is a 33" tire that measures 33.2" installed-and thats with a 16x8" wheel !
Not many can do that
:rofl::rofl: JIMBO
