Lakeland to offer 5-week aviation course for high school students
Lakeland College is offering a five-week collegiate course in aviation for high school students this summer, which will include two instructional hours flying in Lakeland's Cirrus SR-20 aircraft.
The class utilizes traditional ground school curriculum that will allow students to qualify for the written Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) exam to obtain a VFR Private Pilot Certificate. Students will learn the basics of flight (aerodynamics, etc.), flight systems, FAA regulations and the air traffic control system.
The course will meet three days a week from 9 a.m.-noon at the Lakeland College Aviation Center at the Sheboygan County Airport. It begins June 15 and ends July 16, and will be taught by Brandon Molina and Steven Vaught, Lakeland's instructors of aviation.
The cost is $500 per student. The actual cost of the class is $1,000, but a Lakeland donor is covering the cost of flight time for students who enroll. Students must be at least 16 years of age to take the course.
Lakeland is the only four-year college in Wisconsin with a professional flight training program, offering private pilot certification through multi-engine commercial pilot certification. Lakeland offers aviation as a minor program, and students can earn full flight certification while completing a four-year degree in another discipline.
Students will take most of the 31 credit hours in the air. Students begin learning visual flight skills in Cirrus SR-20s before advancing to more complex airplanes.
For more information, contact Jason Duff, at 920-565-1000, or come to an information session at Lakeland College's Aviation Center at the Sheboygan Airport on June 3 or 10 from 5-7 p.m.
Lakeland, SASD form Teacher Development Institute
Lakeland College and the Sheboygan Area School District (SASD) have partnered to form a Teacher Development Institute that provides additional professional development training for Sheboygan teachers.
The institute is unique in that the coursework will directly relate to the district's academic goals and ties in with the district's teacher evaluations as part of the Wisconsin Educator Effectiveness System.
"I am very pleased that the Sheboygan Area School District and Lakeland College have agreed to collaborate in establishing an institute to offer a specially designed, home-grown professional development series," said Mehraban Khodavandi, the director of Lakeland's Graduate Education Programs and a professor of education and psychology.
"The main purpose of this joint venture is to provide high quality instruction over a period of time to examine and support effective teaching practices that will lead to and enhance students' learning and achievement."
"It's a great opportunity to partner with Lakeland College in offering a highly customized professional development opportunity for our teachers," said Joseph Sheehan, superintendent of the Sheboygan Area School District. "We are fortunate to have the resources right here in Sheboygan County to support our teachers with higher learning directly related to our district goals. We believe that the combination of best practice and Educator Effectiveness concepts will have a significant impact on quality instruction."
"This program is special in the way that it will be offered over time rather than be presented in a couple of infrequent and sporadic workshops disconnected to teaching practices and student learning," Khodavandi said. "I envision that this program will give our teachers a greater opportunity to learn new ideas and skills for improving their instruction which will ultimately lead to student achievement."
The partnership evolved from SASD wanting to build its own staff development program that directly embraces the district's educational goals. The program consists of five courses and will explore new and effective ideas in the areas of instructional practices, assessment, school and classroom leadership techniques and other elements that are critical for supporting and promoting effective teachers.
The classes are offered by Lakeland and taught by professional educators including SASD employees at one of the district's schools. The courses will carry graduate credits and will be offered in a cohort format, with a maximum of 30 teachers per cohort. Each cohort of teachers that successfully completes the series of classes will be moved up one step on the district's salary schedule.
The course dates and formats will be flexible based on the cohort members. The three-credit classes are $300 each and paid for by the individual teacher. The first cohort will begin coursework this September and complete the classes in the summer of 2017.
The course credits can be applied towards a master's degree for those who want to pursue additional education. Tuition discounts are available for SASD teachers who decide to pursue their master's through Lakeland.
Lakeland President Dan Eck said he hopes the institute will become a model for future partnerships with other school districts.
"Budgets for schools are tight, and districts are looking for creative ways to provide services not only for students but for their employees," Eck said. "We would like to partner with other districts who are looking for ways to provide additional training for their teachers. We have the flexibility to help create programs that help them achieve their specific district goals."
Movers & Shakers Gala to debut new format
The Movers & Shakers Gala at Lakeland College is back, but it's like nothing you have seen before.
The eighth annual Movers & Shakers Gala, set for Saturday, May 16, at Lakeland College, introduces an entirely new format, and will help create new scholarships to help nine local high school students pay for their postsecondary education.
In previous years, Sheboygan County "celebrities" showed off their best dance moves to raise money for local charities and nonprofit organizations. This year, nine acts—from live music to speed painting to literature reading—will show off some of the talent in Sheboygan County.
"We can't wait to unveil what we have planned for this year," said Deborah Wente, a member of the Lakeland Board of Trustees and the chair of the Movers & Shakers organizing committee. "Our planning committee has created a night that offers a new experience that's sure to surprise our returning supporters and impress any new guests.
"The community support and volunteer interest for Movers & Shakers continues to be strong. We have a large group of local companies and guests who give financially to make this evening successful."
New this year, each act sponsor has partnered with Lakeland College to create a $5,000 college scholarship for nine local high school seniors. Students can attend any accredited college or university with the award, but if they attend Lakeland, the scholarship will increase to $10,000. Scholarship winners will be announced the night of the event.
Guests this year will see Lakeland's Todd Wehr Center transformed into a performance venue with three stages, a dance floor, a massive lighting setup and huge video screens to spotlight the evening's entertainment.
In its previous seven years, Movers & Shakers has raised more than $1.6 million.
Major sponsors of this year's Gala are the Frank G. and Frieda K. Brotz Family Foundation (dinner sponsor), Sargento Foods Inc. (reception sponsor), Prevea Health and Studio Gear Technology (technology sponsors). Additional event sponsors include Zimmermann Printing and Canopies Events with Distinction.
The 2015 lineup includes:
- A Shadow Dance will be choreographed and performed by the nationally acclaimed Dollhouse Dance Factory. This act features illuminated dancers casting artistic, rhythmic shadows from behind a screen. This act is sponsored by the Grover Family Foundation and a scholarship will go to a Sheboygan South High School student.
- Members of the Van Horn Automotive Group will perform a group glow dance in the dark, wearing special, colorful battery-operated costumes that will light up the room. This dazzling routine features creative choreography and eye-catching effects. This act is sponsored by The Van Horn Automotive Group and a scholarship will go to a Sheboygan County Christian High School student.
- Liesl Testwuide, publisher of the globally popular website "Hairpin Turns Ahead," will read one of her favorite pieces from her collection of stories that navigate life's twist, turns and inevitable changes. Her work has been featured on the Today Show, the U.K.'s Daily Mail, The Huffington Post and Germany's Bild. She is sponsored by Festival Foods and a scholarship will go to a Sheboygan North High School student.
- Playing popular music to groove to, Freewheel is a local band made up of brothers who play a wide selection of tunes from the 1990s to current hits. Comprised of Andrew, Daniel, Benjamin and Patrick Feldmann, Freewheel won a company-wide talent contest at Sargento Foods for the opportunity to perform at this year's Gala. The group is sponsored by Sargento Foods Inc. and a scholarship will go to a Plymouth High School student.
- Dynamic, award-winning artist Jason Prigge offers a high-energy demonstration on how to create a work of art at a masterfully fast pace in a style called speed painting. Prigge, who owns a studio in Manitowoc, will paint a colorful, intricate portrait (the subject will remain a surprise until the show) on a large canvas in less than the time it takes for the song he'll play to finish. He is sponsored by Legend Larry's and a scholarship will go to a Sheboygan North High School student.
- Lakeland College student Leo Liu joins forces with established local blues musicians to form The Hot Shots, a fresh and funky fusion of old-school and new-school blues. Liu, who studies electric guitar at Lakeland with Water Street Hot Shots' Michael Lee Ammons, hails from China, but has always loved American blues and jazz music. Joining Liu and Ammons are bassist Alan Mock and drummer Steve Irby. They are sponsored by the Zieve Family Foundation and a scholarship will go to an Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School student.
- Dr. Toby Watson, a self-taught pianist, will get the evening off to a rousing start by delivering a performance created especially for the Gala. He is sponsored by Ansay & Associates and a scholarship will go to a Living Word Lutheran High School student.
- Sheboygan North High School's renowned student drumline has been wowing fans for years at local basketball games. The drumline has created a routine exclusively for the Movers & Shakers Gala, an unconventional performance sure to surprise even their biggest fans. The group is sponsored by Wells Fargo and a scholarship will go to a Sheboygan North High School student.
- Well-known funny couple Andi and Ben Igowsky are pulling out all the stops in an original musical comedy performance. Andi is a pediatric dentist with a stellar voice and Ben is in sales. Their combined personalities bring a one-two punch of true talent and natural wit. They are sponsored by Snap-On Tools and a scholarship will go to a Howards Grove High School student.
Biographies of each act are available on the Movers & Shakers website, http://moversandshakersgala.org.
A limited number of tickets are available and can be purchased online at the Movers & Shakers website or by contacting Kym Leibham, Lakeland's alumni & community engagement officer, at or 920-565-1023, ext. 2155.
You don't have to attend the event to help support the scholarships. Anyone can purchase votes, at $20 each, for their favorite act prior to the event at the Movers & Shakers website. The high school supported by the evening's winning act will receive 50 percent of the proceeds raised from the votes they receive, so vote early and often.
Judges for the evening include Sebastian Schmidt, Wally Waldhart, Amee Salzwedel and Sandi Vasatka.
A pre-event reception begins at 5:30 p.m., followed at 6:45 by seating for dinner, which features a mouthwatering menu prepared by Lakeland's Dining Services staff.
Following the competition, the dance floor will be open to all guests and The Pink Flamingos will provide music for the remainder of the evening.
You can also be part of the pre-event buzz by joining our entertainers, committee members, guests and volunteers on Facebook at http://moversandshakersgala.org/facebook. "Like" the event page for regular updates.
If you want to get behind the scenes and help make this evening possible, a number of volunteer opportunities are open to the community. More information is available at http://moversandshakersgala.org/volunteer.
781 graduate at Lakeland
More than 750 students earned degrees on Sunday as Lakeland College celebrated its 153rd commencement.
The college awarded diplomas to 781 graduates, including 514 undergraduates and 267 graduate students.
Lakeland has classes at its main campus in Sheboygan County and through its Evening, Weekend and Online program with seven centers around Wisconsin.
J. Garland Schilcutt, who is retiring as professor of business administration following this academic year, delivered the undergraduate commencement address.
Schilcutt arrived at Lakeland in 1958 and retires with the longest tenure of any faculty member in the college's history. He is the architect of all of Lakeland's business-related academic programs, and served as the college's first director of its Master of Business Administration program, a position from which he stepped down this past August. He was also an early leader in the college's Evening, Weekend and Online Program, serving as its dean for a time in the 1990s.
He has won numerous awards and honors over the years, including the 1992 Underkofler Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award and being named an honorary Lakeland alumnus in 1988. He is best known to Lakeland alumni for the hours he spent with students outside the classroom, serving as a counselor, mentor and friend.
Lemke wins Underkofler Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award
Lakeland College's Richard Lemke, an assistant professor of criminal justice, is the 2015 winner of the annual Underkofler Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award.
Lemke, in his third year as a member of Lakeland's faculty, is the college's 24th winner of the Underkofler, which recognizes outstanding performance in undergraduate teaching.
The Underkofler Award was presented on April 1 at Lakeland's annual Honors Banquet, which recognizes outstanding academic accomplishments of students and faculty.
Lemke was recognized as a steady and respected professor in one of the largest majors at Lakeland.
"His preparation ensures that every class is excellent, well organized and engaging," said Elizabeth Stroot, a Lakeland professor of psychology and chair of the Underkofler Selection Committee. "Students comment regularly that he encourages their participation and values the diversity of their perspectives. His patient and gentle questioning style allows students to dig deeper, to think more carefully and to arrive at conclusions and ideas that may not have been their first responses."
He was also lauded for mentoring his students, tracking their academic progress and understanding their career goals, while also regularly assessing the college's criminal justice program to make sure the curriculum is rigorous and current.
Senior criminal justice major Joshua Leisemann has Lemke as a teacher, academic advisor and project advisor.
"He is tireless, helpful and caring with every single student; his dedication to improving a student's education is evident in his teaching and his assignments," Leisemann said. "He is always there to offer advice and solutions, to help a student with a paper/project and to show students their full potential."
Prior to coming to Lakeland, Lemke was an assistant professor at the University of West Georgia, where he was undergraduate program co-coordinator. He also worked as an adjunct professor at Marian University, the University of Cincinnati and Castleton State College. He has worked in the industry, serving as a case worker for the Rutland County Court Diversion in Vermont and for the Center for Addiction and Behavioral Health Research.
The winner of several grants and awards, Lemke has authored and presented numerous articles and papers. His areas of specialization include criminological theory testing, explanations of violence, community and institutional corrections (adult and juvenile), research methods and statistics and program assessment.
He earned his Ph.D. in criminology and criminal justice from the University of Cincinnati, his master's degree in forensic psychology from Castleton State College and his bachelor's in psychology from the University of Milwaukee-Wisconsin.
The Underkofler Award is presented through the Alliant Energy Foundation and the Wisconsin Foundation for Independent Colleges, Inc. The Underkofler Endowment Fund was created in honor of past Wisconsin Power & Light president and chairman James R. Underkofler to recognize his 48 years of service to the utility industry.

The Slaughter's losing streak continues as they have now lost 4 in row and Bloomington avenges their season opening loss to Chicago. Here is how it all went down:
First Quarter: The Slaughter started the game with a roughing the passer penalty which put Bloomington in Slaughter territory. On the next play Edge Quarterback Dusty Burk threw a 15 yard touchdown pass to Wide Receiver Ricardo Lenhart. The extra point gave the Edge a 7-0 lead at the 13:40 mark. When the Slaughter offense took the field for the first time, Backup Quarterback Perry Patterson wound up starting. His first pass attempt was intercepted by Bloomington Defensive Back Ameer Ismail which put the Edge on the Slaughter 14 yard line.
Three plays later, Dusty Burk would get his second touchdown pass of the night when he found Receiver John Cooper in the end zone from 9 yards out. The Edge would go up 14-0 with 10:23 left in the quarter. But the Slaughter would start big on their next kick return. Running Back Lucien Walker returned the kick 41 yards to start the Slaughter offense on the Bloomington 9 yard line. 4 plays later the Slaughter would finally get their first touchdown of the game. On 4th and goal from the 1 yard line, Running Back Daniel DuFrene punched it in to cut the Edge's lead to 14-7 with 8:23 remaining.
Afterwards when Bloomington got back on the field, an encroachment penalty helped Bloomington move into Slaughter territory again. Then 3 plays later, Bloomington gets a rushing touchdown from 4 yards out. It was run in by Running Back Andre Raymond. But the Edge would miss the extra point making the score 20-7 with 5:31 remaining. On the next series for the Slaughter, an encroachment call against the Edge helped get them into the red zone.
On the very next play Perry Patterson found Wide Receiver Earnest Jackson in the back of the end zone for a 9 yard touchdown pass. The score was now 20-14 with at the 3:51 mark. On the next series for the Edge, Dusty Burk drove the team downfield. 2 huge pass plays, followed by 2 QB scrambles, the Edge ended up on the Slaughter 4 yard line. On 1st and goal, Running Back Eric Gray would score on his first run of the game. The 1st quarter would end at that point with Bloomington leading 27-14.
Second Quarter: The Slaughter started the 2nd quarter on the right foot. They took the opening kickoff the whole way thanks to Running Back Lucien Walker. It was his second score of the game and the Slaughter cut the lead to 27-20, they missed the extra point. Then when they kicked the ball off to the Edge, it was fumbled by their returner and the Slaughter took possession at the 25 yard line. They weren't able to find the end zone but they did get a 28 yard field goal on their next drive.
The score was Bloomington 27 Slaughter 23 with 12:36 left before halftime. But just when it looked like the Slaughter were about to get back into it, their momentum was taken away with another Edge touchdown. Dusty Burk hooked up with John Cooper for the second time. It was 34-23 with 11:27 left before halftime. But the Slaughter would not let that deter them. On the first play after the next kickoff, Daniel Dufrene took a handoff and with help by his teammates pushing him, he took it 27 yards to the Edge 12 yard line.
On the next play Perry Patterson would connect with Ernest Jackson for another touchdown pass. And at the 10:25 mark Bloomington now held a 4 point lead 34-30. But they would increase that lead on their next drive when Dusty Burk hit Receiver David Brown from 14 yards to go up 41-30 at the 7:22 mark. But the Slaughter would keep on kicking as on their next drive they would go 38 yards in 6 plays and cap the drive off with an 11 yard touchdown pass from Perry Patterson to Ernest Jackson, the third time they connected during the game. It was now 41-37 with 2:50 left before halftime.But the Edge would catch the Slaughter secondary sleeping on the next drive. On the very first play Dusty Burk would throw a 46 yard bomb to Receiver Charles Dowdell. The Edge went up 47-37 with 1:43 remaining before halftime. And just before the half ended, the Slaughter drove all the way down to the Bloomington 3 yard line. They would settle for a 10 yard field goal at the 2nd quarter buzzer. They would trail 47-40 at halftime.
Third Quarter: The Slaughter received the opening kickoff of the 2nd half and went into a no-huddle offense. They would start the drive by missing a 21 yard field goal at the 12:02 mark. The Slaughter defense would finally be able to get a stop in the 3rd. They held Bloomington on their first 2nd half possession, the Edge would miss a 40 yard field goal. It was still 47-40 Bloomington with 9:28 left in the quarter.
Then on the Slaughter's next possession, Perry Patterson narrowly avoided getting sacked by throwing a shovel pass to Running Back Lucien Walker. Walker would take the shovel pass 43 yards for a touchdown. The extra point would tie the game at 47 at the 8:13 mark. When Bloomington's offense took the field again, they threw an interception to Slaughter defensive back Patrick Jackson. He returned it to the 15 yard line, but a Slaughter penalty took them back to the 7 yard line.
But they would march all 43 yards down the field and cap the drive off with another touchdown. Perry Patterson threw an 8 yard touchdown pass to Receiver Shatone Powers {Former Riverside-Brookfield, Northern Illinois, and Chicago Rush standout}. At this point the Slaughter had their first lead of the night 54-47 at the 5:22 mark. But at the 3:48 mark the Edge would try to tie the game when Dusty Burk found Ricardo Lenhart for another touchdown from 18 yards out.
But the Edge would miss the extra point, the Slaughter were now hanging onto a one point lead 54-53. When the Slaughter got trapped deep in their own territory, they attempted a 60 yard field goal from the back of their own end zone which was no good. But the Slaughter would pick up points on defense when Defensive Ends Ronnie Mason and Chris Walker would sack Edge QB Dusty Burk in his own end zone to take a 56-53 lead with just 15 seconds left in the quarter.
The Slaughter would run just one play before the 3rd quarter buzzer sounded. It was 56-53 heading into the 4th quarter.
Fourth Quarter: The Slaughter would begin the 4th by piling on the points. Kicker Chris Nendick would hit his second field goal of the night from 22 yards away. The Slaughter led 59-53 at the 12:35 mark in the 4th quarter. When the Slaughter went back on defense they committed a huge illegal contact penalty in the red zone giving the Edge the back on the ball on the 8 yard line. And it would lead to Dusty Burk throwing yet another touchdown pass to Ricardo Lenhart to take a 60-59 lead at the 10:23 mark.
On the Slaughters next offensive possession, penalties got them into huge trouble. They went for a 40 yard field goal which was blocked and returned for a touchdown by Bloomington Defensive Back James Temple. The Edge would now lead 67-59 with 6:55 left in the game. But the Slaughter would score in just 2 plays on the next drive when Perry Patterson hit Eyad Salem from 15 yards out. But Patterson's next pass on the 2 point conversion attempt would go incomplete. Bloomington now lead 67-65 with 6:34 left in regulation. With just under 3 minutes left the Slaughter made a huge stop on 3rd down in their own territory. It forced a 38 yard field goal attempt for the Edge and Edge kicker Pete Christofilakos would make good on it. This gave Bloomington a 70-65 lead with 2:08 left. Bloomington would hang onto their 70-65 lead for the victory after Perry Patterson got sacked twice and turned the ball over on a fumble on the Slaughter's last offensive possession.
While the Slaughter's defense got it together in the 2nd half, mistakes on both offense and special teams would hurt them in the 2nd half. Penalties also killed the Slaughter in the 2nd half. Now the season series between the Slaughter and the Edge is evened up at 1 game a piece. The Edge improve to 5-1 while the Slaughter fall to 1-4. The Slaughter have much to improve on in practice before embarking on a 2 game road trip which will take them to Sioux Falls and Green Bay. They will return home on April 21st to take on the Green Bay Blizzard.
Coach McMichael has a lot of work ahead of him. Also, I must apologize for not having any video content this week. The Slaughter's front office was a little uncooperative and didn't give me much access. I apologize to you the Q101 nation for not being able to post video for the 2nd straight week. But I thank you for the love anyway. Here are the final stats from tonight's game: http://iflstats.fbstats.pointstreak.com/football/boxscore-ingame.html?gameid=31770
In related news, the Chicago Rush continue their winning ways. They won their first road game of the season with an overtime thriller against the Iowa Barnstormers. The Rush wins by a score of 62-61. They will return home to Allstate Arena next Saturday to take on the Kansas City Command. Thank you to all of my Twitter followers.

Figured it was about time I posted something about my Haver. I bought a T&C in Janet Manor a couple months ago and have been remodeling it for the past month now. I've been tracking all of my progress on a photo blog of sorts (as you scroll down the page it goes back in time) I also was given the original owner's son's email and he sent me some pictures of the place while it was being built in '58, and then some of what the house looked like through the decades and I'll be posting a heaping handful of those soon, once he gives me the okay and all.
But yeah! I thought someone might be curious, so here it is, http://www.kelseydake.com/1431 and at the bottom there's another link to older images from the first few days of remodeling, and what the place looked like before I started.

Black boxes analyzed in crash that killed 2 kids
PRAIRIEVILLE - Tonight, there are questions from many of you about why a woman who crashed into five people and killed two children hasn't been charged in the wreck.
The crash killed 6-year-old David Lanus Jr. and 9-year-old Sarye Lanus.
Shileta McMeller lives across the street from the family. Her daughter was best friends with Sarye Lanus.
"I think justice should be served," McMeller said. "There are a lot of questions as to why the driver hasn't been charged with anything at the moment."
Over the past two weeks, WBRZ has been flooded with phone calls and emails about this very issue. Today, we took those concerns to State Police.
"I know people have questions and want to know why the woman hasn't been charged in the death of these two children yet," Trooper Jared Sandifer said. "But, people need to understand it's an active case and an active investigation. Our troopers are doing what they are trained to do."
Currently, State Police said they are trying to see if 47-year-old Shawnette Taylor was distracted at the time. They are currently reviewing cell phone records to see if she was texting or on the phone at the time of the wreck. State Police are also looking at the car's black boxes, which will tell investigators how fast she was going, whether she applied the brakes before the crash and whether she was wearing a seatbelt.
"They are going to determine exactly what happened in that crash," Sandifer said. "We owe it not just to the families of those killed, but to the driver of that vehicle as well."
Last weekend, family members laid the children to rest.
"We are a very, very, very, very close family, and it's a tremendous loss. We're going to have a hard time without them but we're going to get through it," David Lanus and his wife Shayla said.
Tonight, the victim's mother is also wondering why the woman who caused the crash has not been charged.
State troopers said toxicology tests are pending, but they don't believe Taylor was impaired. There's no time frame on when the toxicology tests will be finished or when the investigation will be complete.

I don't know how many times I've said "Indians love SUVs". Irrespective of the segment or price tag, SUVs have commanded unparalleled attention and desirability. Think Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour, Mitsubishi Pajero, Mahindra XUV500, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, Range Rover, Renault Duster, Maruti Gypsy or even the Premier Rio. While India's fascination with the SUV is growing, it is safe to say that we are not alone.
The US has always favoured "trucks" and China's fascination with the SUV is growing at a typically Chinese pace. Manufacturers are adding fuel to the fire by churning out SUVs galore! For all you know, Audi may just spawn Q1, Q2, Q4 and Q8 to complement the existing range of Q3, Q5 and Q7! Maybe even a Q9! BMW? How does X2, X4 and X7 sound? Land Rover is planning no less than 16 SUVs among the Range Rover and Land Rover offerings. Mercedes isn't immune to the SUV fever either. The entry level GLA is being given finishing touches and the new Ener-G-Force concept hints at a Range Rover rival to sit right on top of the Merc SUV range.
Even the more affordable brands are cashing in on the trend. VW is planning a fleet of small SUVs – starting with the UP! platform and then there's the Taigun concept that was shown in Brazil recently.
Closer home, Maruti's XA Alpha concept, Nissan's V-platform based Extrem SUV, Ford's EcoSport, Honda's City-based SUV are all in different stages of development and these aren't meant just for the Indian market either. Renault and Nissan have the super successful Qashqai crossover and they even showcased a compact SUV on the V platform. The hunger for SUVs, no matter the size or ruggedness, is growing rapidly.
It wasn't too long ago that there were speculations flying thick and fast about the extinction of SUVs. As it turns out, that was a bit off the mark. There's a glut of SUVs coming our way and these will be leaner, cleaner and will come in every size imaginable. Will the world "car" market morph into an SUV market? I have a feeling, it just might.

With bacon gracing everything from muffins to milkshakes, U.S. prices are poised to retreat from an all-time high as the fad wanes and pork supply rebounds after last year's historic drought.
Retail bacon jumped 23 percent to $5.708 a pound this year, the highest since at least 1980, government data show. Pork bellies, cured and sliced to make bacon, account for a record share of the value of a hog as demand growth outpaced other cuts, according to the National Pork Board. Production shrank this year after last season's drought, the worst since the 1930s, increased costs for corn, the main feed grain.

According to Rep. Lian McFayden in an e-mail I just received, SB 34 passed the house today on a very close vote.
I believe it is now off to Gov. Ritter for signature which is a definite. This was a very near party line push. He's not going to buck his own party even if he doesn't like the bill. He already ticked everyone off when he vetoed a labor bill recently. I think his veto stamp will stay in the drawer for a while now.
Once signed, Colorado will stop recognizing non-resident permits.

Actually, you are correct. If you own a 2nd home in CO, you can get a resident permit.
"The best compliment to the Warrior is that others feel safe while you are around." I would add especially if they REALLY ARE safe when you are around.
That really sucks!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable. I sent email in asking not to support the bill. I know alot of folks did.
"The best compliment to the Warrior is that others feel safe while you are around." I would add especially if they REALLY ARE safe when you are around.
I'm really dissapointed, I think the NRA and GOA really failed us on not mobilizing an opposition to this crap. I did my part at least. What a load!
Even though it's probably futile, I'm gonna tell Gov. Ritter to Veto it, hopefully some of you will join me.

News story here.
In spite of the description, make no mistake - this will affect more than just Colorado residents. If your DL and you CCW permit aren't from the same state, you won't be legal here.
One more chip away at what used to be the rock of our constitutional rights.
According to this bill, your permit must be issued by your state of residence. The exception is for those just moving to CO - they can carry on their old permit if they have a CO driver's license that is less than 90 days old. So a person with an out-of-state driver's license and a Colorado permit wouldn't appear to be legal in CO.
Does this mean that CO will no longer honor reciprocity agreements with other states? For example my NM resident permit would not be recognized?
More BS legislation from the Dems, but they do have the ammo to press on this one. There are several instances where people were denied CO permits and then got ones from FL or UT and then flaunted it by calling CBI to gloat or carrying at Red Rocks Community College and showing the gun in class, so the Dems were justified in carrying this legislation.
Personal opinion: I don't like it but you should get a permit from your home state to carry there. Then if you want more permits go get them. Florida, ironically,has the exact same law on the books and it hasn't hurt them with reciprocity.

I am so freakin mad about this i cannot see straight , My only solace is that some good representatives fought the good fight dilligantly . They just could not overcome the " front range whores " who pander to a non existent mandate . Colorado voters mark this day in your memory and respond accordingly .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
This is coming at a bad time, just after three Kansas State students were shot in Denver......
Those shooters in Denver had ski masks so they must have had New York City non resident permits.
Semper Fi
I actually can't argue with the logic of this one. I'd rather not have the permit system at all. Having said that, if you're going to have permits it makes sense to require that a permit holder be issued the permit by his state or residence. I would put in an exception for those states that don't issue permits like Vermont or New Jersey, but if your state of residence issues permits you should get one there.

extracting pipe from a shallow wel
ok guys and gals, here's one for you. I need to extract about 18feet of galzined 1 1/2" pipe from the ground. My first idea was to try and use a couple of jacks and work at it a bit at a time, I don't feel like digging it all the way out unless i have to. Does anyone know of a way or a machine that can pull the pipe from the ground? looking to save myself some sore muscles.
Is this coming out of the ground or out of a well? If it is in the ground why not just abandon it?
I have two points that i want to save and re use, they cost a lot. it is coming out of the ground.
Where is your connection 'TEE'?? I had to dig down 5' to find mine. If you can get to it and cut off the branch going to the house then you need to get a backhoe or possibly a tow truck and about 10' of 3/8 chain. Wrap a variation of a clove hitch around the pipe, hook it to the bucket or towtruck and start lifting gently. The screens get caked with dirt and calcium (looks like a big blob of concrete) and if you do get the pipe out you will have a pretty nice 6" diameter hole where the 1-1/2" pipe came out of. This is a whole lot easier on your back, but be carefull because I tipped a Deere backhoe up almost to 45 degrees the first time I did it. I was pulling to hard to fast. You have to put enough tension on the chain so the opposite end of the tracks lift off the ground about a foot and then wait. Have a beer, have a coke. The machine will set back down as it starts to loosen the pipe. After that it will come out slow and easy.
Agree with Gbud you're going to need machines. Please do NOT dig this hole. Digging below 4' require proper shoring/benching to prevent a cave in.
We took out about 120 ft of 1 1/2" pipe about 3 years ago. It's a 4'' drilled well about 3 ft below ground something like this.
We set a 3" pipe across the hole resting on the ground(imagine a 3'' pipe instead of the concrete lid). We took a loader tractor and hooked a chain to the pipe and pulled up about 12'. We then hung a chain from the pipe going across the hole and connected it to the pipe and let the loader down. The chain connected to the loader mustbe connected in such a way that when you let the bucket down it will slide down so you don't have to climb up there to uhook it from the pipe just to let the loader down. We did this about 10 times. It took about 2 hours, it was -30C + 50 mph winds and was labour intensive work in every way imaginable. HAVE FUN!!
Hmmm, you did state that you are "extracting pipe from a shallow well", to me that would be a vertical run of pipe. A 1 1/2" pipe that is 18 feet into the ground sounds like a pretty good grip. What kind of ground comes to mind. This idea comes to mind as it is only 18 feet deep. Could you make up a pipe, even PVC may work, with a "jetter" on the end, and start feeding it down along side of the pipe you want to save so that this "jetter" softens the dirt somewhat? IF, and I state IF, there are threads on the exposed end could you make up some type of attachment so as to screw it onto the 1 1/2" pipe really secure, attach a chain to that, and the chain to a backhoe and use the previously stated suggestion of putting some pulling force on it and just wait a bit? I do understand you wanting to save those expensive points. Keep us posted on this one, Good Luck, David

Circle of Women(CoW) is a brilliant effort to build self-sustainable educational institutions for women in developing nations. I have been thoroughly impressed with the work of CoW. As a student-run organization, CoW has raised funds using unique and creative ideas ranging from poker nights and holiday bazaars to women's brunches. After working with the organization, I have observed that CoW is extremely efficient and works like a "well oiled machine". Efforts of these women are laudable and have inspired me to work with them towards an important social cause. Education is synonymous with independence and success. Universal Education is one of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Moreover, in developing nations, a large percentage of women do not have access to formal education (85.1% in Afghanistan). By understanding and addressing this need in developing nations, Circle of Women is acting as a social change agent across borders and changing numerous lives in the process. By maintaining low operation costs and successfully raising funds, CoW is solving an important problem at the grassroots level. Watching women, from one of the world's greatest educational institutions: Harvard University, work towards the goal of providing underprivileged women in remote areas of the world with post-secondary education, is particularly exciting and satisfying. CoW is committed to working for the educational development of women who lack similar opportunities. We sorely need many CoWs to make this world a better place.
Having volunteered for Circle of Women for two years now, I have found meaning in my college pursuits through working for this incredible organization. Knowing that Circle of Women is putting 2,000+ extra girls in school every year is truly amazing, especially given that it is run full time by students without salaries. Everyone that serves in some capacity with Circle of Women truly cares about empowering and educating women across the globe, and I think that is spectacular. Plus, unlike some charities, you know all of your money is going straight to the good cause! 5 stars all around!
Going into my 6th year with Circle of Women, I couldn't be more thrilled to work for such an incredible organization! Everything from the other members of the management team, to our graduate board, and the projects themselves has been such a pleasure to be a part of. Circle of Women is an amazing opportunity for students across the country to work together and make a tangible difference in the quest for access to secondary education for girls around the world. Great job Circle!
Circle of Women is a really special organization that gives college students the unique opportunity to have a real impact on bridging the gender gap in education. Not only that, but volunteers also develop their own skills in areas such as fundraising, project development and PR, to name a few. Circle is completely run by students, for students, creating a unique perspective with which to affect the lives of girls across the world.
Circle of Women has done an incredible job helping girls around the world gain access to crucial secondary education opportunities. Since the organization is also entirely student-run, it allows women in the US to gain valuable management, organizational, etc. skills.
Circle of Women quite simply allows girls to invest in themselves through investing in others. It believes that through seeking to educate others, we educate ourselves, building infinite possibility. As a Circle volunteer, donor, and board member, I have seen this organization progress since the beginning and am proud to say that despite its growth and success it has never lost its sense of curiosity, acceptance, and passionate drive.
Circle of Women is a great organization that has helped (and continues to help) hundreds of girls gain access to education that they would otherwise not have access to. Equally important, Circle of Women has empowered its members (college students) and armed them with the tools to build an organization and create change. What I love about Circle of Women is that they are not just providing poor girls with access to the classroom, but also teaching others that through hard work, thoughtful strategy, and teamwork anything is possible.
Circle of Women has been the foundation of my college experience. Attending a liberal arts school has at times made me feel disconnected from reality, and in those moments I am especially grateful that Circle of Women exists. The organization takes me out of the college bubble, gaining perspective and concrete experience in not only the non-profit world but also international development. The national network of high school and college students is great and the organization benefits from the greatest young minds in the country. Through pure ingenuity, passion, and drive, this organization has made amazing things happen.
When a couple of friends and I started Circle of Women, we had a basic goal: tap into the high-energy and abundant resources of college campuses to promote women's education by building schools. The way in which the women who lead this organization continue to fine-tune and propel this goal is inspiring. With several building projects comleted and others in process, the organization has started to focus on assessing our impact and growing our network at home. I hope to always be a part of this organization because it creates a fertile environment for young women leaders to improve themselves and the opportunities for those around them.
Having been a supporter of and volunteer with Circle of Women from its beginning, I have seen the transformative power this organization has had not only for those served by the organization's efforts but also for all those who volunteer and support the organization. The organization has drawn attention to important issues. Simultaneously, its work extends far beyond simply drawing attention. Instead, this attention is combined with effective and concrete projects that actively address the goals the organization espouses. Circle of Women has and will continue to make a major impact in the lives of those it purports to benefit as well as in the lives of all of those who help to carry out its mission.
it has been an honor and true pleasure to be involved with such an incredible organization since 2009. Circle of Women has exposed me to an inspiring group of dedicated leaders and change-makers that are passionate about increasing access to education for women and girls around the world. One of the most inspiring components of Circle of Women is the Impact it has had on the members involved resulting in creating a true 360-degree impact on a local and global level. Circle of Women has evolved into an incredible model for driving innovation and ownership both on a collective and individual level. The organization's infrastructure allows for flexibility that engages students by providing an outlet to channel their passions and energy and contribute meaningfully to a tangible goal. I very much look forward to watching Circle of Women continue to strengthen and grow it's network while whole-heartedly pursuing it's mission.

- A pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $140,000 for the remaining value of certain patents purchased in 2005. Strategic options to sell, license, or otherwise exploit this technology have not materialized and do not appear imminent.
- An income tax gain of approximately $489,000 created by reversing a portion of the income tax valuation allowance recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. In November 2009, a change in the tax law extended the allowable time period of net operating loss carry backs from two to five years. This enabled the Company to use the benefits and file for a refund for the 2004 and 2005 tax years.
IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PRO-DEX, INC. (Nasdaq: PDEX) today announced its financial results for the fiscal second quarter 2010, the period ending December 31, 2009. Sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2009, increased 9% to $5.7 million compared to $5.2 million for the previous year's second quarter, due to continued increases in medical device sales. The higher medical device sales were substantially driven by the new arthroscopic surgical hand-piece that began shipping at the end of the first fiscal quarter. Net income for the second quarter was $580,000 or $0.06 per share compared to a net income of $81,000 or $0.01 per share for the previous year's second quarter. Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, increased to $2.0 million, a 35% gross profit margin, compared to gross profit of $1.9 million or 37% gross profit margin in last year's second quarter. The profit increase was consistent with the increased sales; however the gross profit margin was reduced due to a lower margin mix of products. Operating expenses for the second quarter (excluding the impairment charge discussed below) declined due to cost saving measures implemented last year. The cost savings measures were primarily structurally decreased labor expenses. Included in this quarter's net income were two non-recurring events:

From a Sarajevo War Survivor:
Experiencing horrible things that can happen in a war - death of parents and
friends, hunger and malnutrition, endless freezing cold, fear, sniper attacks.
1. Stockpiling helps. but you never no how long trouble will last, so locate
near renewable food sources.
2. Living near a well with a manual pump is like being in Eden.
3. After awhile, even gold can lose its luster. But there is no luxury in war
quite like toilet paper. Its surplus value is greater than gold's.
4. If you had to go without one utility, lose electricity - it's the easiest to
do without (unless you're in a very nice climate with no need for heat.)
5. Canned foods are awesome, especially if their contents are tasty without
heating. One of the best things to stockpile is canned gravy - it makes a lot of
the dry unappetizing things you find to eat in war somewhat edible. Only needs
enough heat to "warm", not to cook. It's cheap too, especially if you buy it in
6. Bring some books - escapist ones like romance or mysteries become more
valuable as the war continues. Sure, it's great to have a lot of survival
guides, but you'll figure most of that out on your own anyway - trust me, you'll
have a lot of time on your hands.
7. The feeling that you're human can fade pretty fast. I can't tell you how many
people I knew who would have traded a much needed meal for just a little bit of
toothpaste, rouge, soap or cologne. Not much point in fighting if you have to
lose your humanity. These things are morale-builders like nothing else.
8. Slow burning candles and matches, matches, matches

sheet plastic

some type of recorded music and the means to play it
all family pictures and history stored electronically (will be important later)
topographic maps of your area

DVD's and the means to play them, never underestimate the value of occasional entertainment
lots of paper and lots of pencils
Pretty comprehensive list. The only thing I would change is to ditch the cegarettes (allergic to tobacco smoke) and replace it with lots and lots of fabric and sewing supplies--that way, you can always MAKE more clothes as the old ones wear out, or kids outgrow them.

nice list! im gonna use it as another checklist, can never be too thorough!
This is the nearly 10-year-old 'first 100 things to disappear in an emergency' list. While it's a good list in and of itself, as for anyone new to prepping, I'm not so sure it's a good starter list.
I'm no expert [and I'm sure that YMMV and opinions will be all over the map re: this list], but what I'd suggest is use this as a tertiary or quaternary list for barter goods, rather than a primary or secondary list when looking at things to acquire/stock up on.
BrowserCat is correct. It is a list of things that will be bought up quickly after a disaster that you will not be able to find. I agree it's a wonderful cross reference. I also believe it is not a good list for beginers to use as a stock list of things they need first, second, etc. Take it for what it is. Great list tho thanks for posting it.
In place of the generator( noisy and fuel dependant), I'm looking at wind, water and solar. Most of the ohter stuff, most folks have around the house anyway. I like the Serajevo survivor's notes.
I disagree with #1 and strongly agree with #4 on the bottom list. I fail to see how electricity is necessary for survival unless one is dependant on an electric well pump for water or something.
I mean sure it's a great way to keep some semblance of normalcy through a 2 week power outage after an ice storm or something, but for anything long term, it's just a waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere in preparations. A/C would be nice in the summer, but our ancestors did just fine without it. Oil lamps are fine for light and inexpensive. As for heat, you can buy a small folding wood stove for every room and remove a window pane to vent them through, for the price of an alternative power source. If a person has everything else squared away 100%, and has money leftover for luxuries, I can see maybe adding electricity, but it sure isn't on my top 100.

I'd like to add "survival laptop" to that list with a small portable solar powered battery charger, and cram it with music, books, and topo maps, that would be the ultimate in technological nomaditry.
Seriously, isn't this just a repost of two lists from the past week?
mmmmm GRAVVVVYYYYY dont forget the gravy. Reminds me of the old "tom and jerry" cartoon lol
I think you don't understand what this is a list of. If there is a natural disaster or otherwise, this is a list of the items that the STORES will run out of first; the items that people will grab off the shelves in hoards. It was not written as a list in order of thing you should make sure you have. It can be kind of used that way if you would like to due to the fact that YOU might find certain things on the list a neccessity. Therefore you might keep one or some around due to the fact that they will probably become unavailable.....ie "dissapear first". Good luck to all in their preps. Just trying to clear it up a bit.

OK, I'm just guessing, but it seems this is a "Bug In" list and not a "Bug Out" list unless you have a freaking big trailer!!!
Maybe a list for each situation would be more appropriate and perhaps the newbs need to collect the basics first before the niceties?...........jmho.........
This list keep popping up now and then and it is always just as bad as the time before. While there are some good items on the list it clearly was prioritized by someone who hasn't a clue.
Chickens and goats, which have kept humanity alive for thousands of years, are dead last-- #100 -- whereas feminine hygiene is #24. Male hygiene, however, is only half as important at 49 but more important than cast iron cookware, #50, virtually an essential item. When Europeans traded with North American Indians the most coveted item was a cast iron pot.
Matches, which should be near the top of the list are #42 directly followed by that all important multi-purpose survival tool, the solar calculator. A compass didn't even make the list. Roach powder is more important than rain gear, popcorn more important than underwear.
The whisk, that all important tool in the French kitchen, is #8. How could we survive without a whisk in the wilderness? Now there is a title for a book... The Whisk In The Wilderness... the true story of French Survival Chefs. The survival knife, by the way, is #63...
Clothes pins, which are described as an "absolute must" are #33. FIshing supplies, one of the prime ways to put protein into you diet, is 51. Portable toilets, which are absolutely unnecessary, are #3 whereas life-saving multi-use duct tape is 50 clicks down at #53. Your hat, which helps you keep 25% of your body heat in, and shades you from the sun -- read helps keep you alive -- is #99. And the expensive, loud, heavy, and ever-thirsty generator is #1.
Yeph... when the SHTF I am going to grab my generator, portable toilet and solar calculator and head for the hills. And if anyone tries to stop me I've got my whisk for protection.

Maybe I'm missing something here. I see a list, not a prioritized list. Yes, it has numbers, but nowhere do I read that you have to do anything in any particular order. If you use it as a "Gee, somebody put together a list of stuff I might not think of, but will need if things go to pot" list, then there is no reason to carp about it. Everybody's list is different, my priorities will not match yours. And for very good reasons. There is no end all be all list to surviving other than (in order of priority):
1. Air to breathe
2. Uncontaminated water to drink
3. Food providing basic nutrition to eat.
4. Shelter and heat from the cold.
There, how's that?
Look, I don't mean to fuss, but I've seen it too many times to count. People start obsessing over the fine details "every jot and tiddle" and the real meaning is lost. We revert to the same arguments you can see over on the Religion board. It's not worth it!
I've been living the "prepping" lifestyle for over 40 years. It's been called everything from common sense to survivalism to wacko right-wing radical. It all boils down to what I was taught in Boy Scouts.... Be Prepared.
Guys and Gals, we are all of the same mind here. Let's keep an eye on the horizon and not bicker amongst ourselves. Lift up the new folks and help them. Not put them down and discourage them.

I hope no one misinterpreted my comment about my need as an older person to avoid a fall or being thrown, and everyone's need to learn some ground fighting because that is where it is likely to end up.
There is a reason our law enhances the penalty for assault on senior citizens. And, disparity of force issues shift in my favor toward use of lethal force because as I stated, old bones are old bones, and force that would not be lethal to a 20 year old would almost certainly be lethal to someone perhaps a few years older than myself. There is a very high percentage of folks who die within the first year of breaking a hip.
When I was 60 I hunted big game in the mountains, and was able to quarter and carry downed game to camp on a packboard if I did not have any help.
But at 64 I had bypass surgery, and 4 years later learned that I have three blocked arteries that cannot be cleared.
Now with subequent health problems and a little arthritis in my hip I absolutely cannot fight except for a matter of seconds. I go to the gym 3 days per week, and look in better shape than my inner body really is.
So you young folks who think it is all a mindset, and that everyone needs karate or other type hand to hand fighting skills, have a lot to learn about the elderly. Don't worry, you will learn it all too soon.
Comments such as the reply to Hopyard
"If that is one's mindset, it will likely be true." indicate that one has no clue as to the inability of the elderly to defend ourselves against young and stronger attackers, and the liklihood of serious injury just by falling.
We're not entirely helpless, but to take courses that are about hand to hand combat, knife fighting, and such things is not a good option for many of us.
I do think that a mindset that says "I will probably get shot or hurt, and I am going to keep fighting until I die or pass out." is useful. I have read of some people getting shot by a small gun and not in a critical area, and just passing out. I do not assume I am not going to be able to carry through on what I get involved in, and intend to carry on until I am dead.
I certainly wasn't trying to discount the affects of age--something I'm learning first hand myself.
A traffic ticket is formal recognition of a lapse in situational awareness.
I would not consider it a defeatist mindset to say that if a Mike Tyson thug would grab me I would be done for. I would not stop resisting, but I would have no chance of coming out of that well.
If I went to the ground I would be finished also, but that doesn't mean I would just lay there while under attack.
It is better if we, at any age, recognize our realistic limitations and strengths. Many young men have a very inflated idea of their invincibility in a fight. That is OK, but it may very well result in some big, and maybe fatal, surprises. Karate, for example, is a plus, but if you think one of your karate punches will put a guy out of commission take a look at the UFC.
Probably, threads such as this one should be ignored by some of us, and let the youth "duke it out."
I have not been in a fight since high school. I had two, and both opponents were larger and stronger than me, but both damaged their thumbs on my head and had to quit. But that is the school of hard knocks I much prefer to avoid, both for heads and thumbs.
A traffic ticket is formal recognition of a lapse in situational awareness.
I have a good friend who is a firearms instructor, and is about 70. He recently took a course about moving and shooting. Sure that is a good idea, but he was showing a class how to do it, and fell on a rock with the result of having to limp for a couple of weeks. If it had been a real gun fight he would have been dead.
I guess I am thinking about such things that sometimes are posted involving hand -to-hand or knife combat and maybe some of the run and dodge while you are shooting at multiple attackers stuff.
I confess that I think that it might be enjoyable to play such games, but not of much use to 99+% of us.
I am not going to get into hand to hand combat. If I were suddenly grabbed by one or more young BG I would have little chance.
Somehow I have lived my life without problems of being attacked, and really believe that there is no one out there looking for me. I still think my brain and some degree of wisdom is my best defense.
I don't need to prove I am not tough. I learned that decades ago. I am convinced that some of the problems some post here are a result of wanting to show that "I don't take nothing from nobody."
I don't sit with my back to the wall and make sure my gun hand is always free, or some other things that are often brought up.
Those are the type of things that I probably should ignore, along with things that I consider paranoid.
I go where I need to go whether I can carry or not.
I think we have a herd mentality on these forums since we do have common interests.
Sometimes I just want to show that not everyone goes along with the "conventional wisdom" of the forum.
I do take some heat, but that goes with the territory.
Im getting older also but my thought is:
I always kept that cartoon on my office wall. It got me through some pretty rough spots.
We did see the LEO take command of the scene and gain control of all persons.
I am sure he radioed for an ambulance as soon as it was safe to do so...

I am no longer a resident but my permit is still considered a resident CC because I was a resident when I obtained it in 2007... The map shows that Georgia does honor NH permits, but that GA is a shall issue to residents only, and I am now a GA resident so do you think I would run into an issue there???

Lakers honor Hall of Famer Abdul-Jabbar with statue
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Six-time NBA champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was honored by the Los Angeles Lakers in a moving and often emotional ceremony on Friday when a bronze statue of the Hall of Famer was unveiled outside the Staples Center.
Jabbar, the NBA's all-time leading scorer with 38,387 points, joins fellow sports greats Wayne Gretzky, Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, Jerry West and Oscar De La Hoya in a group of iconic sculptures in the Star Plaza at the home of the Lakers.
Loud cheers rang out from the fans when the imposing statue was revealed, an almost 16-foot-tall image of Jabbar with his right arm pulled back, basketball in hand, poised for his trademark skyhook shot.
Confetti in the Lakers colors of purple and gold enveloped a stage where, moments earlier, Abdul-Jabbar had listened to fellow NBA greats Johnson, West, Pat Riley and James Worthy pay him homage with glowing tributes.
"I want to thank you fine gentlemen for helping me through this tonight," said the 65-year-old Jabbar, his voice cracking with emotion. "My stomach, it's full of butterflies.
"It didn't happen during a game. It never happened during a game but dealing with people is a different issue, so hopefully I will get through this.
"I want to thank all of you for coming here to share this evening with me tonight. It really means a lot to me. I can't begin to convey what it means."

Hi-I'm a new knitter and I bought some cashmere on ebay and I want to make a scarf for my brother, but I don't and haven't been able to find a pattern. Does anyone out there have a pattern for cashmere? Also, is there anything I should know about knitting with cashmere? Its very thin, so should I use two threads at a time when knitting, if so how do I do that?
Claudia :doh:
http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/kcashmere-scarf.html you'll probably have to become a member to see this, but it's a simple scarf for you to use. If you want to make the scarf thicker then use two strands. To do that you'll want to cast on with both strands and continue knitting like you would with one but use both. Make sense? O yea and if you're going to use two strands you'll want to use a bigger needle than if you were just using one strand.You could always cast on however many you wanted to make it as wide as you wanted and then just knit the whole thing, that'd be pretty too. good luck!
I think that it would be gorgeous in a lacey pattern, but since it's for a guy I'm guessing the lace is out!!You can find lots of pattern here.did the ebay seller say what size the yarn is/or does it say on a label? Does it read lace wt or fingering wt? Or does it give a gauge and/or recommended needle size?
its a 2 ply black color cashmere and the seller gave me a pattern for a crotcheted scarf-which is lacy. it calls for a 2.75mm needle. since its so thin i'm not sure what to do with it for a man.

Hokey Pokey (edition 2013)
by Jerry Spinelli
Work details
Hokey Pokey by Jerry Spinelli
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I read a fourth of the way through and to me is was just a jumble while the boy was trying to get his "borrowed" bicycle back. Not Newbery to me nor is it A Jerry Spinelli book.
I've nothing really novel to say, so I'll just dive right in and remind those who didn't like this because of lack of plot and too much 'difficult' language that they shouldn't underestimate children.
Sure, there will be some kids who won't like this. And it can't really be *taught* without spoiling it. But there are many imaginative, sensitive, poetic, adventurous children who deserve something like this. Not every MG reader needs to be spoon-fed [b:Diary of a Wimpy Kid|389627|Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, #1)|Jeff Kinney|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388183826s/389627.jpg|2617009]. Offer this bit of enchantment to your students and watch to see which kids glow in the sunshine of this ode to the last days of childhood.
If you're still having trouble seeing the relevance, don't think of it as kin to James Joyce. Remember, instead, [b:Dandelion Wine|50033|Dandelion Wine|Ray Bradbury|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1374049845s/50033.jpg|1627774] and the other magical and enormously popular works by [a:Ray Bradbury|1630|Ray Bradbury|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1361491094p2/1630.jpg].
I started out thinking that this book was way too strange for me, but then I followed Kim's advice and stuck with it. It was amazing. I found myself smiling and feeling sad at the same time. I thought of all of my daughters growing from being toddlers (Snotsippers?) into starting kindergarten (Gappergums?) and then those early school years as Sillynillys. When did they become Big Kids and eventually adolescents and now adults? The author makes these transitions into a magical fantasy that I really enjoyed.
Lovely and sweet. Thanks Kim!
This is not my favorite Jerry Spinelli novel because I'm not a fan of the stream of consciousness narrative he uses here. Nonetheless, I am dazzled by his masterful use of language and appreciate the inventive way he uses this fable-like story to capture the emotions of growing up and letting go.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375831983, Hardcover)Welcome to Hokey Pokey. A place and a time, when childhood is at its best: games to play, bikes to ride, experiences to be had. There are no adults in Hokey Pokey, just kids, and the laws governing Hokey Pokey are simple and finite. But when one of the biggest kids, Jack, has his beloved bike stolen—and by a girl, no less—his entire world, and the world of Hokey Pokey, turns to chaos. Without his bike, Jack feels like everything has started to go wrong. He feels different, not like himself, and he knows something is about to change. And even more troubling he alone hears a faint train whistle. But that's impossible: every kid knows there no trains in Hokey Pokey, only tracks.
Master storyteller Jerry Spinelli has written a dizzingly inventive fable of growing up and letting go, of leaving childhood and its imagination play behind for the more dazzling adventures of adolescence, and of learning to accept not only the sunny part of day, but the unwelcome arrival of night, as well.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:37 -0400)
Ever since they were Snotsippers, Jack and the girl have fought, until one day she steals his bike and as he and the Amigos try to recover it, Jack realizes that he is growing up and must eventually leave the "goodlands and badlands of Hokey Pokey."
