Out of curiosity I was thinking about buying a Trail Rated GJC bc they have the interior/exterior color combo I wanted, but I am not hot on the 18" wheels. Is there any chance of me successfully finding someone to trade the 18" wheels for 20" wheels ?
Re: Wheels
In general though, do most folks want the 20" wheels or 18"s or is there a good group of both?
Re: Wheels
It's complicated....
I have a Limited with the 18s and wanted the OEM Overland 20s (took from stock - didn't order). I have been searching for the OEM Overland 20s since November when I got my Jeep.
In March I found a member who was selling his OEM Overland 20s becuase he wanted the twin-spoke MOPAR 20s (like on the accessory brochure). It worked out great because I didn't need the OEM tires for the 20's (I wanted an off-road style tire) and he did need the factory tires.
So, it worked out, I offset the cost of his new wheels and he didn't have to buy new tires. And, if I purchased a set with tires I would have a set of 20' tires and the OEM 18's lying around my garage.
And, I would venture to say that...
1) the Jeepers with the Overland's who want the 18's because off better off-road/winter tire applications ordered the 18's w/ the ORA package
2) are keeping thier 20s and bought a set of 18s (whether OEM Limited or the Black MOPAR) in order to swap for winter or weekend tires.
In short, you may have better luck finding a member who has the OEM Overland 20s and that wants to sell them in favor of the new Summit polished 20's or the twin-spoke MOPAR 20's like I found.
Now, you would be "stuck" with your OEM 18's (like I will be) but you may be able to sell them to a Laredo 'E' owner who has the non-polosiihed 18s and would like the polished or to an Overland owner who wants a 2nd set of wheels for off-road or winter tires.
Make sense?
Re: Wheels
wow...great reply. Thanks, I will keep that in mind
Re: Wheels
My overland is trail rated and originally came with the 18s but I made the dealer put the 20s on before taking possession. I used it as a deal breaker on my order and the switch didn't cost me anything. I have since purchased a set of 18s for winter use but much prefer the look of the 20s.
Re: Wheels
I asked the dealer that I purchased from (through a DX) if they would simply include the 20" wheels & tires with my purchase, I was willing to pay extra for a 2nd set, especially if I could spread it over the next 5-yrs as part of my payment. I didn't get a Jeep with the ORA package so it wasn't like a "I wanted this but not that situation."
You know what the a**holes did... they quoted me at $2800 -- $424/wheel + $260/tire AND they were going to keep my 18's. Obviously, I didn't do it. They are such a sh*tty dealarship, why not offer me the wheels at cost or even employee pricing? All part of why I no longer deal with them.
Re: Wheels
I too am looking for the 20s and just had no luck with the dealer. Dealer was not even a little nice about the request.
I now have a set of the Mopar black 18s and a set of the Overland bright chrome 18s. I am looking around to see if anyone wants to trade. The chrome 18s have no rubber on them and are in the boxes the Mopar blacks came in.
If no trade can be found I my just put the factors chrome 18s up for sale and go and find some other 20s but I do prefer the factory Overland 20s via trade + $$
Re: Wheels
I think it isn't just that the folks with the 20s want to keep them, but more that nobody is all that enamored with the stock 18" rims.
Personally, I've already added the skid plates and tow hooks and would be interested in selling my 20" wheelset in favor of the black Mopar rims, but in order for me to do it I'd want about enough out of the things for it to be budget neutral, and that probably isn't worth it for most folks who are interested.
Re: Wheels
I like to get 22", maybe from the new JGC SRT8.... Will see...:D
Re: Wheels
Re: Wheels
The SEMA concept has a 22" version of the OEM Overland... so at least one set exists :)

No. 16 Lobos Claim Ninth Straight MW Series Win
May 11, 2013
Complete Box: Lobos 7, Fresno St. 2
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The 16th-ranked University of New Mexico baseball team extended its own record when it won its 14th straight Mountain West game courtesy of a 7-2 victory over Fresno St. Saturday night.
Sam Wolff allowed only one earned run six innings and DJ Peterson went 2-for-5 with a triple and his 15th home run to lead the Lobos (32-17, 22-4) as they clinched their ninth straight MW series.
UNM got the scoring started right away in the first. With one out Sam Haggerty reached on an infield single and Peterson followed with an RBI triple. Mitch Garver then doubled to left to score Peterson and give the Lobos an early 2-0 lead.
In the third Ryan Padilla added to the lead with a solo home run, his third of the season, to give UNM a 3-0 led.
The Bulldogs (17-31, 10-16) answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the third, but the Lobos scored four of the next five runs to put Fresno St. away. In the fifth Peterson led off with a solo home run, and Luke Campbell later came around to score on a double play to increase the lead to 5-1.
UNM added two more in the seventh when Garver scored on a fielding error, and Jared Holley drove in Josh Melendez on a sacrifice fly.
Wolff (5-3) was fantastic once again, though, for the Lobos, his fourth straight start of allowing one earned run or less. In his last 26 innings he has allowed only three runs, two earned, while striking out 18. Against the Bulldogs he tied a career-high with seven strikeouts, his second straight start with that many punchouts, and walked only one.
"Wolff was outstanding again," UNM head coach Ray Birmingham said. "He was 91-97 (mph) with great command. It's a tribute to the hard work he and pitching coach Dan Spencer put in."
Hobie McClain came on with two on and no outs in the seventh and was spectacular. He got a strikeout and a double play to escape that jam, and in two innings he allowed only a hit and a walk to keep UNM firmly in the lead.
Garver led the team with three hits, while he and Peterson scored two runs apiece to lead the Lobos. Padilla finished with a home run and three walks.
Alex Allbritton was 0-for-4 at the plate, but had several outstanding plays to help the Lobos out of potential jams.
"Allbritton was a big part of the win," Birmingham said. "He had two ESPN-type double plays."
The first was in the second. He made a nice stop on a grounder to start an around-the-horn double play, and the second came on a line drive in the seventh. He snared the ball out of the air and whirled to second to double a runner off and end the inning.
The Lobos will amazingly go for their fifth straight MW series sweep at 1:05 p.m. (MT) Sunday. Freshman Drew Bridges will start on the mound for UNM.
Notes: Campbell saw his string of nine straight multi-hit games come to an end with a 1-for-4 performance … Haggerty also walked three times and leads the team with 41 free passes … the Lobos tied a school record with their 22nd conference win. UNM also won 22 games on its way to a 22-8 record and the MW regular-season championship in 2000.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
I can understand how you feel 22 years is a long time to walk away from. You have built your relationship from the ground up and to walk away now would be a difficult task.
I am sure there are other factors here, as there always are, ;0). But if you love your husband and you feel that he still love's you, then there is always a chance to work things out and in the end your relationship ,may be stronger then ever.
Please understand that this is not something that will happen over night or something you can put a band aid on. Love is a very complicated feeling. You can love someone with your whole heart for the rest of your life. But the true being in love with each other is allot more complicated and needs work everyday. It sounds as though your husband feels that you have grown apart.
The only chance you have to repair your relationship is to get his cooperation in he matter. You both have to work together to find out where your relationship went down. And you both need to work together to find the things that made you fall in love to begin with. I know this is a difficult task, but it is the only way you can fix this. I would suggest that you ask him if you can get together and talk. Explain to him how much you love him and acknowledge that you understand and respect his feelings. Ask him if you and him could go back to the way you ere would he. If he says yes, then tell him your plan. (I will explain the plans below).
1: Explain to him that you want to determine where your relationship went and see if there is any chance of a repair. Ask him if he is willing just one time in your relationship to address the issues and work together. Tell him that you think if he would give this a chance and really work at it. That in he end you will go along with his decision, if he will give this a shot. Relationship counseling, your counselor can help you both work though all the mess to find the root of your problems. She/he will also show you ways to explain to each other what it is that hurt/upset/angered each other in the first place.
If you want a shot back at this relationship, this is the only way to go. In the end you both have to agree to work on this, or it will not work. Free will is not something you can change or bend to your will. If he truly will not agree to work on this and just wants it to end. Then you will have to respect his decision in life and let it go. What ever problems he needs to deal with he will soon realize had nothing to do with you in the first place. He may after time realize this and want to come back. If you want him back that is fine but either way Counseling will be needed in order to get to the root of the problem as it will come back to haunt you latter in life.
I wish you the best.

Open your ears and your mind at the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice (SICPP). It's a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in hearing where new music has been going, and to understand where it might be going next.
Legendary artists are in residence for this week of intensive musical study and performance, alongside seminar participants who are here for the sheer thrill of the avant garde. NEC's Stephen Drury is artistic director for this institute, and guest artists this year include composer Rand Steiger and pianist Winston Choi.
Callithumpian Consort is back tonight for a program of works by Ulrich Kreppein, Adam Roberts, Alan Sentman, Mathias Spahlinger, and Iannis Xenakis.
In addition to Callithumpian Consort, tonight's performers include percussionist Stuart Gerber.
Led by Stephen Drury, Callithumpian Consort is a loose aggregation of NEC students, alumni, and new music enthusiasts that performs locally, on the East Coast, and in Europe. Throughout the year, the group returns to its birthplace—the NEC campus—with performances of contemporary avant-garde music.
Kreppein Abendlich auf schattenbegleiteten Wegen
Benjamin Schwartz, cello
Roberts Anakhtara
Sentman Patchwork
Stuart Gerber, marimba
Patchwork was written for marimba solo in 1989, and was revised (and expanded) in 1997 for Stuart Gerber. The piece is loosely based on simple intervallic relationships, stark dynamic contrasts, and the disintegration of musical material.
Following a very short exposition, and linear first movement, the material expands into complex rhythmic variations in phrased groupings and subsequent permutations of [2 - 1 - 3]. Though somewhat developmental, the second movement exhibits signs of disintegrating musical material through the use of tremolos and rapid grace-note clusters.
The highly interpretative and improvisational elements of the third section starkly contrast detailed notation of pulsating chords of varying rates of speed and length. As the frenetic improvisational elements unfold, the pulsating chords act as anchors of echoing fragments to the musical material from the prior sections.
Spahlinger Musica Impura
Jennifer Ashe, soprano
Maarten Stragier, guitar
Nick Tolle, percussion
Xenakis Rebonds, Okho
Iannis Xenakis's Rebonds was written for and dedicated to Sylvio Gualdo. It is in two parts, a and b, which may be performed in either order. b is scored for five drums (two bongos, tumba, tomtom, and bass drum) and five wood blocks. This movement juxtaposes an ostinato figure in the highest bongo with more "melodic" writing for the other drums. a is an even more homogenous collection of instruments; tom-toms and bass drum. In it, Xenakis slowly adds multiple layers of rhythms to create a contrapuntal and polyrhythmic texture. Although Rebonds is a highly intellectual and technical late twentieth-century piece, Xenakis maintains the basic, visceral force associated with so many drumming traditions from all over the world within this dense fabric.
Written for the bicentenary of the French Revolution and premiered by Trio Le Cercle in 1989, Okho is Xenakis's smallest work for percussion ensemble. Okho uses a combination of contemporary and traditional djembe techniques and rhythms. Seven sounds found in traditional djembe technique are used alongside non-traditional stick techniques and sound effects such as knuckle rolls. The juxtaposition of traditional and non-traditional can also be found in the rhythmic ideas of the piece, where constant semiquavers and syncopated patterns are followed by complex polyrhythmic motifs. The title Okho was created by Xenakis to reflect some of the sounds performers can produce on the djembe with their hands.

I have worked really, really hard for two periods in my life. The first was as an undergraduate, in the last couple of months before my finals. I look back on it now as a kind of fever dream; exhausting but endless, and mildly hallucinogenic. I recall heading to the library in my slippers, subsisting on endless packets of powdered soup, and nurturing intricate theories with a friend about the dynamics of a nascent love triangle at the next table. Once I woke up at 6.51am, six minutes later than prescribed by my revision schedule, and spent the rest of the day in a sickening panic, quite convinced that my dalliance with the snooze button had cost me my future. It only takes a moment thinking about it now to bring a horde of butterflies swarming back into my belly.
The other time was as foreign editor of the The Independent. Anyone who has done such a job will tell you, at great length and particularly if they've been a features writer, that news editing is the most arduous thing you can do on a newspaper; it takes a special sort of lunatic (not me) to manage it for more than a few years. As the middle-man between reporters who want to write the story one way and senior editors who want to headline it another, you are, as one of my superiors memorably put it, "the shit in a shit sandwich". The hours are long, the pressure on your judgement is significant and you have to pretend to know about everything – and the news keeps happening all the time. Any sort of lunch break feels like a dereliction of duty. A day off feels like a reckless invitation for a revolution in the Middle East.
Of course, there are those to whom such efforts will seem puny. Among that number would have been Moritz Erhardt, who was a 21-year-old with aspirations to a career in finance. From an early age, he wrote in an online CV, he had a "persistent aspiration" to succeed and had always been "highly competitive". Sometimes, he added, he had a tendency to be overambitious. He was used, he commented, to "trying to be the best all the time".
That excess of ambition had set him on the path to his dreams. After coming through a ferociously competitive application process, he spent the summer doing an internship at the London office of Merrill Lynch. Friends say that he worked eight all-nighters in two weeks. For three days in a row he was in the office until 6am. Then, in the student apartment in Bethnal Green where he was staying, he collapsed and died. We don't know what caused his death. He reportedly suffered from epilepsy, and may have had a seizure. But seizures can be brought on by exhaustion. And doctors have never been in doubt about the debilitating effects of sleep deprivation, especially combined with stress.
The picture of the intern that has accompanied most of the stories about him this week is heartbreaking. Boyishly handsome, with slicked back hair, he wears a Ralph Lauren shirt, a striped tie, a large, expensive-looking watch and braces. It is so self-consciously the uniform of the high-flying financier that he might as well be a little boy borrowing his father's clothes.
At 21, interns are barely more than children, really. But the world they enter is not accommodating to their youth; instead, it seeks to capitalise on it. They are paid extremely well – more than £40,000 a year pro rata, reportedly, which is significantly more than the average wage in Britain. But that money isn't the point. The point is the extraordinary sums on offer if they earn preferment.
In the service of that goal, investment banking interns such as Moritz Erhardt adopt a lifestyle that is quite alien to most of us. For the duration of this summer-long audition, 110-hour working weeks are not uncommon; caffeine and adrenaline provide the fuel that ought to come from sleep. Because of the cut-throat competition for the few jobs on offer, those who have experienced such a programme speak of an "arms race" to outdo each other, often staying in the office simply to make sure that their rivals don't steal a march. People talk about the fabled "magic roundabout" shift, which sees budding bankers head home in a taxi, shower and change clothes, and get straight back into the waiting car to begin another stint immediately.
"You learn pretty quickly that you don't just have to be good to get one of these jobs, but to make a show of how 'good' you are," one 21-year-old economics graduate who recently completed such a course told the Daily Mail this week. "There were nights when I could have gone home at 11pm, but that would have been career suicide. Instead, I used to pretend to be busy working until 2am, then be back at my desk at 7am." Show your abilities, sure, but also show your loyalty, show your commitment, show your intensity; show you are one of us. This isn't a proper professional environment: it's a frat house.
It is not enough to say that no one is obliged to work at such a pace. It might not be in the rules but there is little doubt that it is in the culture. That's one thing for the staffers, perhaps. They are at least some-what secure in their positions, and stratospherically rewarded for the sacrifices they make. But can the same be said of an intern? Their work – described by one initiate to the Evening Standard as "a lot of checking of documents, a lot of Excel, a lot of PowerPoint" – cannot have been truly essential or, if it was, the business is built on sand. If the carrot is a job that will make you a millionaire – and your performance is measured as much by your presence as your output, and you are still a student, and you are already in the self-selecting group of people who are willing to embrace this lifestyle – are you really going to be thinking carefully about the potential impact on your health?
A Premier League football club that allowed its trialists to complete an ultramarathon would be castigated. The expectation of a bank should be no less for the fact that its trainees are wearing suits instead of running kit. And the fix is so easy. Just make them leave at eight. The news that Merrill Lynch is launching a review of working conditions for junior staff is – if knee-jerk – a move in the right direction, but there are many other banks...
It wasn't always this way. A friend who was a trader in a past life remembers a three-month induction process in the early 1990s: working nine-to-five days, an outward-bound course, social events – and plenty of sleep. While those with dreams of a career in the City have always been setting themselves up for an all-consuming work life, many people say that the overloaded version of the culture that now prevails is a relatively recent innovation. Perhaps it is hardly surprising to learn that institutions which have adopted such an approach to the treatment of their most vulnerable charges should have displayed a similar recklessness when it comes to their investments.
A New Yorker post about the Merrill Lynch intern noted John Maynard Keynes's 1930 prediction that, within a century, no one would have to work more than 15 hours a week – a prophecy, it is safe to say, that will not be fulfilled. The piece also notes that although the average person works far less than they might have in the 19th century, that increase in leisure has not been replicated among the highest earners, whose lifestyle is more like that of our Victorian predecessors. This may partly be because the world of credit instruments and collateralised debt obligations is almost abstract, and hence not subject to the same increases in productivity that have helped the factory worker. But perhaps it is also mindlessly self-perpetuating. You earn so much money because you work so hard, and you work so hard because you earn so much money. Even bankers have been known to feel guilt.
My own working life is a bit different now. The deadlines are less frequent, and angry foreign correspondents don't call me after I've got into bed or before I've got out of it. I still think I work pretty hard, but the vein that used to throb in my forehead has gone quiet.
The funny thing is that, in a way, the pressure has increased. On the foreign desk, if I spent three minutes on Facebook in the middle of the day, I never worried about it; it never crossed my mind that my colleagues might wonder if I was pulling my weight. Now that I'm no longer the second person into the office (I never did get there before the home editor), I have to admit that I have more of a sense of performance. Last week, checking the cricket score in the middle of the afternoon, I guiltily flipped back to the transcription of an interview when I heard a colleague behind me. And when I stayed up late to finish a magazine piece, I'm embarrassed to say that I made sure to mention it in an email or two. If you're going to work so late, you definitely want someone to know that you did.
This is, of course, a crazy way to think about work. Your presence at the desk is not necessarily analogous to your output; if you perform best by chewing things over for a bit and then typing in a frenzy, you are no less valuable to your employer than the person next to you who proceeds in a steadier fashion. There are plenty of studies that show the efficiency gains to be made by working from home or by taking frequent breaks. Maybe I'm a goody-two-shoes, but I can't be the only person who finds that such an approach engenders a pang of anxiety.
Culturally, we tend to view work as a means to an end. (That's even true among the high-flyers at Merrill Lynch; the heartbroken father issued a statement explaining that his son's plan was to "work really hard for a few years and to do something good afterwards"). As a result, we may accept these daft habits of mind in a way that we wouldn't about our private life. But the distinction is a false one. Work is, after all, what we spend most of our waking hours doing, even if we don't find ourselves on the magic roundabout. It is hard to be happy if you don't feel at ease while you are doing it. It is hard to feel at ease if you are more worried about the perception of your work than the reality.
Everything about Moritz Erhardt's short life suggests that he would have done his job extraordinarily well. "He was the superstar," one of his fellow interns said. "He worked very hard and was very focused … he was tipped for greatness." That doesn't make his death any more tragic, of course. But it does make his story especially poignant. When I read that informal eulogy, I thought: he could have given himself a break. Everyone was already impressed.Reuse content

Clogged pipes
My house is own a septic tank system. I am currently having problems with water backing up in my toilets and the bath tub. I have had the septic tank drained and i have ran the snake through the pipe. What else could be my problem
A licecend plumber will be along soon---
In the mean time---If the house lines are flowing into the septic tank---
Did every thing work well right after the pumper truck left? Then start backing up after enough water flowed to refill the septic tank?
If so---here are some of the usual suspects---
Leach field flooded---Have you had an unusual amount of rain?
Leach field branch lines collapsed----Any body drive over the field recently?
Leach field failed
Septic tank baffles or exit pipe corroded and need attention
I own a house on septic---but I don't do service on them---a plumber will be along soon---Mike----
"Ran the snake down the pipe" which pipe?
Did you remove the toilet and run a real snake, not one of those 1/2 coiled wire ones down the drain.
Since it was backing up did you run a snake down the vent pipe on the roof to see if it's plugged.
Good catch--I assumed the plumber did the rodding---
if the tank was full it could have allowed waste to back up into the house lines which could have clogged the baffle in the tank even though its pumped...you will need to have the lines snaked out with the proper size snake with water running to flush out clog...ben sr
Lots of good questions asked, so we can give you more info. Waiting for your response.......
How old is the house, and type of piping?

Letters from Iwo Jima
As tens of thousands of Allied troops push further inland, the Japanese troops defending Iwo Jima during World War II prepare to meet their fate in this Clint Eastwood-directed Oscar nominee, a companion piece to his hit film Flags of Our Fathers. Ken Watanabe stars as a Japanese general who knows his men are outnumbered and, with no hope of rescue, that most will eventually die in battle -- or end up killing themselves.

For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this war drama deals with a very serious subject: the defeat of soldiers who know they'll die and that their cause is lost. Thanks to that and the fact that it's deliberately paced and spoken entirely in Japanese (with English subtitles), it will likely appeal only to older teens. The explosive action scenes include brutal battles with shootings, stabbings, and the use of flamethrowers -- resulting in dismemberment, beheading, burning, bloody injuries, and general chaos. Some wounded soldiers appear in distress, and U.S. Marines take and abuse prisoners. A dog is shot off screen (kids can be heard crying), and a beloved horse is killed in an explosion. A character dies of dysentery (off screen, though he's sick for some time). A couple of soldiers write letters home that reveal their awareness of their imminent bad ends. Characters smoke cigarettes, and officers drink in flashbacks.
- Sexual Content
- Flashback discussion of Hanako's pregnancy (Saigo leans into her belly and speaks to their child).
- Violence
- Frequent conversation about death and suicide; captain beats his men to make them work harder; battle images are rough, with explosions and bodies flying, as well as close-range stabbings and shootings; Japanese soldiers kill themselves by holding grenades to their chests (explicit effects); a horse is found dead following a bombing raid; blood effects are jarringly red, as most other imagery is in washed-out greys and blues.
- Language
- One use of "s--t," in subtitles.
- Social Behavior
- The soliders are mostly noble, though they're confronted by impossible orders, expected to commit suicide rather than surrender (with an eye to future honor); some soldiers (including Americans) are plainly overzealous and weary, killing out of frustration.
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Cigarette smoking; occasional, formal drinking by officers.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

Calpe (in valencian and officially Calp), is a coastal town located in the comarca of Marina Alta, in the province of Alicante, Valencian Community, by the Mediterranean Sea. This beautiful fishing town is always under the protective shadow of the Peñón de Ifach, a calcareous mass measuring 332 meters in height, rich in vegetation and birds. This rock is one of the emblems of Calpe and the Costa Blanca and was declared nature reserve in 1987.
Calpe is not only a gift for your senses, but it´s also perfectly communicated: the L'Altet airport (Alicante) and the one of Manises (Valencia) to 75 and 130 km. from Calpe respectively, allow us to connect with the main capitals by means of national and international flights.

From the coves of "El Collao" on the far west, we come across the beaches of "Arenal-Bol", "Cantal Roig" and "Levante", tho sailing clubs and a very busy fishing port, with a succession of restaurants serving fish and seafood.
Dare climbing the Peñón de Ifach, visiting the Real Club Náutico, strolling through the "Paseo Ecológico Príncipes de Astúrias, enjoying a dip in "Baños de la Reina", snorkeling in the coves, swimming in its fine sandy beaches, visiting "Las Salinas" or the old town centre, are just some of the activities on offer in Calpe.

In a prospective study of the complications of cardiac resuscitation, 705 cases were autopsied to identify the cause of death and the pathologic findings attributable to cardiac resuscitation. Thoracic complications were observed in 42.7 percent of the cases. A total of 31.6 percent had rib fractures, 21.1 percent had sternal fractures, and 18.3 percent were reported as having anterior mediastinal hemorrhage; 20.4 percent of the cases had an upper airway complication. Abdominal visceral complications were noted in 30.8 percent of the cases, and pulmonary complications occurred in 13 percent of the resuscitation population. Life-threatening complications, such as heart and great vessel injuries, occurred in less than .5 percent of the cases.

Bug #5937
Linked Directorys which are 'invalid' will crash cache rebuild and break local file update check
|Start date:
|Due date:
|% Done:
|Target version:
|2009_11_18 1.0.35 Beta
Links via windows mklink
I had a 'ramdrive' directory link which went to a folder on a ramdisk. This 'ramdisk' folder was located in Arma2\ folder.
At some point the data on the ramdisk was cleared and the directory link became invalid. I didn't care because it was ready to go should I put the data back on the ramdisk. However, I went to use YAS today and check for new caa updates, and it said all of my files were out of date. (it said 'comparing server addons to local', but seemed to not be doing anything, and allowed me to press 'download addons' (maybe you should disable that button while checking?)) I thought this to be wrong, since nobody would want users redownloading 2gb of data! (What was really happening, is YAS got stuck on the invalid directory and sat there.) So I told YAS to rebuild the cache. It crashed. I tried the previous version of YAS and it crashed too. Due to the lack of debug spew 'Blah blah has stopped working' in W7, I opened it in a visual studio debugger and checked out what the error was. It said it couldn't open my ramdisk folder because it was invalid. (which it was)
Deleting the ramdisk directory link fixed it.
Possible solution: You could make that directory open silently fail or pop msgboxa and skip to the next directory? That way if a user has invalid directory links or mixed up permissions,(I assume the latter would cause it too) the app doesn't crash mysteriously.
Also if the local check is in progress, don't allow 'download addons button'.
Rare problem, I agree. But handling invalid user configurations gracefully has its merits. :D

French Forest Honey from Provence, France
As an avid honey taster, I was blown away by the complexity of this honey. It is very similar to wine in that it offers a bold and complex flavor. The taste starts off sweet and levels off to provide multiple earthy flavor notes. It is an incredible honey that is not often found in the marketplace.
Enjoy a taste of France year-round with a membership to the French Wine Club. As a member, you'll receive 2 bottles of fine French wine every month, personally selected for you!Tags: wine, Provence, fashion tastemaker, stephanie johnsonAdded 6 Years Ago from Frenchwinegift

on the all-important decision to rule out Thierry
Henry's late 'goal'
"I felt it was a goal. The referee has not seen anything. We have to accept sometimes the referees give goals because they do not see things. Tonight we have a new thing - that they cancel goals because they saw things that did not exist. So that is a new problem they have raised."
on Thierry Henry's reaction
"I knew from the reaction of Thierry. I did not see better than the referee. Thierry said: 'I swear I did not touch the ball at all with my hand'. It was his stomach. It was a very bad decision, and we suffered from it."
on CSKA Moscow
"Congratulations to Moscow, they played very well. They defended very well and tried to catch us on the break and on set pieces. We fought hard but they defended in an intelligent way. Sometimes I felt they had an advantage when they tried to catch us on one or two occasions without being punished."
on the nature of the game
"Until they went 1-0 ahead, Moscow were sharper than us, winning more fights than us and finally got the advantage they deserved at that point of the game. We tried to attack after that, and they defended in an intelligent way. They got a bit of luck with the goal which was cancelled, but overall they have shown great quality. We lost the ball because we were running after the game, and then we gave away chances."
on the free-kick for their goal
"It was very surprising to me. He let the play go for a long time and then he gave the free-kick. The minimum you can say is that the really important decisions in the game went against us and luckily for them."
on the pitch
"It was an intense game. We battled hard to come back, but as well the quality of the pitch was a handicap. It was an October pitch. UEFA has to look into that because it is not acceptable that you play on pitches like that in the Champions League. They are a good intelligent side and they deserve a better pitch. It could make them better."
on the return leg at Emirates Stadium
"We knew Moscow were a good team before the game. They are difficult to beat, but I still think we can do that and can show what we can do in the second game."

Contact information can be entered manually or, if your contacts are maintained in another program, you can import that data into ArchiOffice as well as synchronize them with Microsoft Outlook, Entourage or Apple Contacts.
To enter contact information:
All projects are built based on the client's contact information. Before proceeding to create a project, you must have entered the client's contact details (for example, address and phone) first.
The Projects screen allows you to create and maintain a profile of your projects or jobs. Default settings specified in Preferences are automatically applied when a new project is created.
After project setup, you and your team members can begin tracking time on it.
The Time/Expense screen is where all time and expenses are entered in ArchiOffice. It displays all the existing time and expense entries in the system.
ArchiOffice provides several options for generating invoices and applying payments. For each project, you can generate invoices using the Projects-Billing screen. Here you can set the defaults and billing options for a project. You can also perform the billing functions using the Billing screen.
To generate invoices:
The Billing screen is used to view and generate invoices for projects. You can also view outstanding, draft and historical invoices here and apply payments to outstanding invoices.
To produce an invoice in batch mode, do the following:
Payments can be applied for individual projects using the Projects screen.

A huge night for Bearcats basketball boils down to three seniors leading the nation in toughness and showing the type of fortitude that wins games in March.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Russ Smith pulled up from 25 feet with the game tied and time running down on the shot clock to remind everyone why he earned the name Russdiculous.
Suddenly, 22,264 who spent the first 35 minutes berating the officials erupted in the latest attempt to blow the exclamation point off the KFC Yum! Center.
The defending national champions in their own house, the worldwide leader allowing the entire nation to watch, all momentum carrying them like a tidal wave from down 17 to up three in the same half. No. 12 Louisville took the floor with a deafening crowd, college basketball's seventh-ranked defense and both hands square around the throat of their biggest rivals.
Average teams don't recover for weeks. Good teams don't score again.
Even great teams mostly tip their cap and learn from the film. Few moments of that intimidation level exist across college basketball.
Yet, this Bearcats team, followed during every step of their 12-game win streak by "yeah, but," wheeled out three seniors and a toughness impossible to gauge in recruiting stars or highlight videos.
They accomplished the improbable. They found a way.
How did they do it? Sounds complicated, but for Mick Cronin, is explained simply.
"I made sure Justin, SK and Titus were in the game," he said.
Such resiliency in leadership speaks more than a single win against a rival, 20-2 record or two-game advantage in The American standings. It speaks to a team capable of facing any opponent, any obstacle, any atmosphere and making the plays the other side isn't willing or able to convert.
It speaks to a team built for March.
"I got the best three senior leaders in the country. Period," Mick Cronin said. "They may not be the best three players -- Kansas, Kentucky have three lottery picks each -- but I wouldn't trade my guys for the world.
"You can't understand the fortitude of Titus, Jack and SK," Cronin said. "That's why we have the record we have."
After Thursday, the college basketball universe may be starting to get the point.
Time and again, the Bearcats accepted brutal punches by the Cardinals and steadied the ship. The first came after a 7-0 Louisville run to close the first half placed pressure on UC coming out of the break.
Kilpatrick hit a 3 to start a run of 16 points in the first six possessions of the half.
When Louisville broke out the Montrezl Harrell dunk parade a 14-0 run saw the Bearcats unravel like has happened many times before against Louisville. Last year UC committed 21 turnovers, lost composure and it buried them into a blowout.
Instead, Kilpatrick entered and immediately sent a message to his team:
"I said, you know what, everybody has to calm down because if you come into this type of environment and try to speed up with them then everything goes out of hand."
His message backed up with two free threes and a collection of backdoor cuts and drives to keep pace as the Cardinals heated up from deep.
Then Russdiculous happened.
And Justin Jackson, who spent much of the night quietly affecting the game with defense offered three game-defining plays. He forced in for an acrobatic putback of a missed layup, altered a Smith layup on the other end then when Harrell backed him into the post, Jackson reached around for a strip and turnover that allowed Kilpatrick back to the line.
Kilpatrick set the tone with a one-handed tomahawk jam in the opening minutes slammed with an emphatic message that these Bearcats would dictate the terms. Then he finished them off with finesse burying free throw 11 of 11 on the game -- one might have hit the rim.
Those are winning plays made by winning players. Those projecting the possibility of these Bearcats need to push the ceiling a little higher after witnessing what was accomplished Thursday night.
Cronin would say his team expected to win Thursday. Knowing their confidence level, he's not lying. But this win could only be considered special. The same descriptor belongs on this team. After Cincinnati 69, Louisville 66, we should discuss the possibility special could also describe their March run.
"I have been saying it this season," he said. "Those guys play hard, they're tough, they care about winning. I am just enjoying the ride with those guys."
I want to hear from you! Send me any comments, questions or suggestions to email@example.com or hit me up on Twitter @pauldehnerjr.

Come-From-Behind Win Extends Streak to Seven Games
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay (11-4-1, 7-2-1 HL) men's soccer winning streak extends to seven games after a 2-1 come-from-behind win against Loyola (3-10-2, 3-3-1 HL) Saturday at Aldo Santaga Stadium. The winning streak is the longest under the leadership of head coach Tom Poitras, who is in his seventh season with the Phoenix.
"As the season goes on, our team continues to show perseverance and character and they showed it again tonight," said head coach Tom Poitras.
After a scoreless first half, Loyola struck first less than eight minutes into the second half. Will Martin was deep outside the box on the right side when he passed across to Eric Marofske for the goal and the 1-0 lead. Marofske's goal landed in the lower right corner of the net. It was the first goal that keeper Ryan Wehking (St. Louis, Mo.) gave up in three games.
With less than 1:30 to play in regulation, David Bernhardsson (Tjorn, Sweden) was deep on the right side of the box when he found Tony Walls (Wauwatosa, Wis.) in front of the net for the header goal and the 1-1 tie. The goal was Walls first since Sept. 10 at Missouri State and fourth of the season.
Neither team was able to fire another shot as time expired, sending the game into overtime for the fourth time this season for Green Bay.
Just over two minutes of overtime had expired when JC Banks (Milwaukee, Wis.) drew a foul inside the box, forcing a penalty kick for Green Bay. Loyola's Doug Ferner was issued a yellow card for the foul on the play.
Walls stepped up to take the penalty kick for Green Bay and converted for the third time this season, giving Green Bay the 2-1 overtime win. Walls is now 3-3 on the season in penalty-kick situations for the Phoenix.
"Their goalkeeper is a big guy, he got a hand on the goal but Tony placed it well enough to keep it in the net," said Poitras. "Both of Tony's goals were huge for us and will help in the standings with the race for that second seed being so tight," said Poitras.
Green Bay outshot Loyola 18-5 and 10-4 on corner kicks. The Phoenix had six shots on goal compared to the Ramblers' two. Walls led the way for Green Bay with six shots while Bernhardsson added four.
With the win, Green Bay is in sole possession of second place in the Horizon League standings with one week of regular-season play remaining. The Phoenix will host Wright State (4-10-1, 0-5-1 HL) in its final regular season game on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m.
Should Green Bay clinch the #2 seed, it will receive a first round bye in the Horizon League Championships which kick off Nov. 9.

what to do with old parts
Well not sure what to do with my stock headlights and my chrome grill now that they have been replaced with new stuff. Sigh I would very much like to keep them, you know just in case. But I havn't got a garage to store them in yet and the boxes are very much in the way. Any creative ideas or should I bite the bullet and try and sell them?
Just wondering if anyone in tx had some ideas.
Posted via FF Mobile

[POSTPONED] Biodiversity Symposium
Casey Trees
Thursday, February 13, 2014 from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM
Due to predicted inclement weather this event has been postponed for a TBD date. Registered participants should check their email for updates.
Biodiversity Symposium
In partnership with the Smithsonian National Zoological Park and Pogo Tree Experts, Casey Trees is hosting a Biodiversity Symposium where four experts in the field will discuss topics related to biodiversity and our urban forests while stressing the importance of diverse urban canopies at multiple scales in the face of challenges including climate change and invasive plants and pests.
The Double Lives of Pollinators: Their Roles in Maintaining Biodiversity in Urban Forests
Michael Raupp, PhD, Professor of Entomology and Extension Specialist at The University of Maryland will examine the fascinating relationships between flowering plants and their insect pollinators. Unique adaptations between plants and insects will be explored and mysteries of plants as master manipulators of insects will be revealed.
Chicago's Urban Forest: Current Status and Future Challenges
Andrew Bell, PhD, Curator of Woody Plants at the Chicago Botanic Garden, will provide an overview of the current status of Chicago's urban forest from diversity to health, and highlight current efforts to protect and expand this indispensable natural resource. Results from recent studies will be discussed including an assessment of genetic diversity within three commonly planted street trees in the region and an ongoing investigation of the potential effects of climate change on Chicago's urban forest by mid and late century.
Can We Return Diversity to the Urban Forest?
Richard Olsen, PhD, Research Geneticist for the United States National Arboretum, will provide a historical perspective on planting the urban forest, the rise and fall of particular tree species, and limiting factors on why some native tree species are not planted in the urban forest. Current research at the US National Arboretum, with regards to breeding and selecting work on native tree species will be highlighted.
Your Role in Building Biological Corridors: Networks for Life
Doug Tallamy, PhD, Professor and Chair of the Entomology and Wildlife Ecology department at University of Delaware, will discuss how we can reconnect viable habitats by expanding existing greenways, building riparian corridors, and by changing the landscaping paradigm that dominates our yards and corporate landscapes. This biodiversity is essential to sustaining human societies because it is other living things that run our ecosystems and isolated habitats cannot support populations large enough to survive normal environmental stresses.
Getting There
Take the Red Line to the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan stop or the Cleveland Park stop (both Red Line). The Zoo entrance is halfway between these stops and both are a short walk from the Zoo. Metrobus lines L2 stops at the Zoo's Connecticut Avenue entrance and the H2 stops at the Zoo's Harvard Street entrance. The pedestrian entrance is on Connecticut Avenue. Parking at the National Zoo costs $16 for the first three hours, and $22 for more than three hours.
The class will start in the Zoo's Visitor Center which is right off of the Connecticut Avenue entrance.
Who Should Attend?
Open to the general public for anyone interested in learning more about the importance of biodiversity in our urban forest. Practitioners in the field of urban forestry, landscape architecture, and other related fields will benefit from this more advanced discussion of the benefits of a diverse urban forest.
All attendees will be provided with a light breakfast and a lunch. Please note your dietary preferences and/or allergies when registering so we can attempt to accommodate your needs.

Tuscan Intensives in Sansepolcro, Italy, sponsored by International Programs at Meredith College, are mini-courses enriched by daily excursions as well as experiences in Sansepolcro and in venues further afield in Tuscany and Umbria. Italy is the classroom! NOW RECRUITING FOR FALL 2014
Past participants recommend the Tuscan Intensives experience. "I loved the time here and would highly recommend. It was so much more than I expected, and each day was an incredible adventure in learning and fun," said Teresa Carter Kline, '78. Retired art faculty member Georgia Springer said, "I loved the mix of art history, Sansepolcro history, drawing lessons/teaching, actual drawing, the deadlines to complete, the show of our own work, the day off, the excursions, the assignments before the class, and mixing with the traditional-age students."

Drawing Under the Tuscan Sun Revisited: Visual Journaling
September 10–24 (includes travel days) Instructor: Linda FitzSimons
Following a very successful and enjoyable on-site drawing class in September 2012, Linda FitzSimons will repeat this Tuscan Intensive with review and practice of all the basic techniques of drawing on-site, but this time with more emphasis on composition, which was not addressed in the 2012 class. We will revisit some favorite places, but there will be new excursions and different drawing sites in the mountains surrounding Sansepolcro. For those with limited drawing experience, never fear! Nearly half the 2012 class had little or no drawing experience, and their drawings after a few lessons were very good. Explore the basics of how to record your reflections of the environment and your experiences in Italy through both field drawings and journaling. Start in the classroom with practice pencil drawings and example worksheets, working from printed images. Draw in a variety of beautiful Tuscan settings, either in Sansepolcro or nearby towns. The goal is not to create drawing masterpieces but to take the time to sit, visually explore and really see the environment. Drawing experience is not necessary, but for those with previous drawing experience, you will have a wonderful opportunity to practice and further develop your skills with these plein air studies. During your time in Sansepolcro, we will visit artists' studios, travel to the hill towns of Perugia, Siena, Anghiari and Bologna, and meet many of the locals and experience events that coincide with your September stay.
Exploring the History and Culture of the Tuscan and Umbrian Hill Towns
September 25–October 9 (includes travel days)
Instructor: Valeria Nardi, assisted by Angela Weisskopf
In the heart of Italy, between Tuscany and Umbria, wandering on the right and left of the Tiber riverbanks, almost three millennia of history unfold. Follow us in narrating and exploring the hill towns of Arezzo, Perugia, Cortona, Orvieto, Gubbio, and Anghiari. Beginning with the Etruscan civilization, examine not the military successes of the Romans, but their cultural development; visit several lesser-known structures, from one of the early Christian treasures, to the medieval abbeys, churches, and narrow streets, taking the last turn to gaze at the measured perfection of a Renaissance façade. Each one of these towns is the birthplace of a famous person, whether an artist, a literate, a saint, a knight, or even a scientist, whose work intertwined with the historic events of this land. Discuss their impact on historical events of the Tiber Valley. These towns are very much alive today and bear their remarkable past with levity. While locals complain about the lack of parking places, about the shortness of breath walking up and down the city hills, they agree with Dostoevsky's quote "only beauty will save the world." Come experience those feelings, along with all the populations that through the centuries have enjoyed the subtle charm of the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside, overlooking it from their hills.

I would like to see Hathaway on the card if he is not already.
the bullshit stops when the cage door locks!!! @prosystemsmma @Ryanwhitemma
£75 for the nosebleed seats? Real shame as it should be a great card. The prices always put me off. I reckon I'd go if it was in London however.
Cheapest seat in the us for the next ufc featuring a title fight and some massive names is $74
I would love to see on the card Paul Daley (but obviously not going to happen), Paul McVeigh, Rob Whiteford and Danny Roberts (or even just one of them).
Would love to see Hardy included :-D
Valley of Kings - Coming Soon
If they think i'm paying £70+ for average seats to a decent/ok card with no big names, they're on smack, I hope they sell fuck all tickets so that they can stop fucking the UK off and give us a proper main event, no disrespect to bisping or munoz, but neither is a current belt holder or has been a belt holder in the past, the UK deserves a proper title fight main event, welterweight and above, we haven't had one since rampage beat hendo.
Think I paid £25 for my ticket to UFC 75 at the MEN, Huge leap in price since then

Does anyone else make a horizontal pepper spray device like the Spitfire?
I don't like the sprays that need to be vertical to use, with the 'trigger' on top.
I want to check out all my options before making a purchase.
Thanks in advance for any replies/comments/advice.
Always remember: 3 can keep a secret, if 2 are dead!
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

I used to be a fan of the keychain sprays but after observing an OC/KUBOTAN training course I learned just how much of a false since of security some key ring canisters give you. First of all they have a limited capacity. Second the amount of OC discharged per shot is much less because of the smaller valve stem. Third having your OC spray on your keys is a bad idea because it is constantly being dropped with the weight of your keys. This will shorten the shelf life and can damage the seal. Many carjackers will also snatch the keys away from the victim and if you are close and raise a key ring canister up to spray the attacker can grab the keys and jerk your canister away.
I recommend FOX LABS 5.3 in the 2 ounce flip top pattern. The Stream or Cone will work fine. Even the Fox Stream will atomize and work on contact.
YouTube - Pepper Spray FOX 5.3 million SHU!! mace in face
YouTube - pwned by Fox labs pepper spray oc 5.3 million scoville units
I buy mine from Pepper Spray Stun Guns Police Fox Labs Pepper Spray Tasers Alarms
When you compare it in size to other key chain units it's not that much bigger yet it has about 60 grams of OC compared to the 11 gram key ring units. My wife keeps hers in a special pocket on the outside of her purse and places it in her hand when she is walking alone or in a parking lot. Because it is in a special pocket it won't wind up in the bottom of her purse.
I used to pay attention to advertisers claims about out the nozzle heat and capsaicin percentages. When tested most of these products took too long to work. I don't care how hot your OC is if you don't have a fast acting carrier it won't do you any good. The way to tell if your product has a good solvent base is to spray it in a styro foam cup. If it eats through the bottom of the cup it's got a good carrier. If it sets in the bottom it will take several seconds if not minutes for the burn to kick in.
After talking with numerous Law Enforcement officers Fox Labs is the way to go. It atomizes better because of the 2% OIL yet it has a very high heat rating because of the purity of the resin used in the formula. The carrier used strips the oils, opens the pores and works on contact. I have talked with officers who have sprayed subjects with other OC sprays and the attacker continued to resist. Another officer deployed FOX LABS 5.3 and got the desired effect. The NIJ Police Study on OC showed that sprays with concentrations greater than 5% may not atomize as well making them less effective. I have tested several OC sprays and Fox made me feel like I was going to die and I thought I would never breath again.
Fox is the way to go. It costs more than the other sprays but it's worth it. If you will only carry a key ring canister then it is better to have a smaller canister than not have one at all. Just know its limitations and replace it every year even if it has a 4 year expiration date.
If you want something on your keys get one of theese but make sure they are legal in your area. IF they are not legal than get a kubotan.

97 Olds Silhouette fog light
I realize this is a quite old car,,,but has 80,000 actual miles(knew the guy /relative who owned it). My drivers side fog light is smashed. It LOOKS like a sealed unit, where lens and bulb cant be replaced,,,or can they???
Have looked half the world over for a bone yard replacement total unit. Seems impossible to find or they want some outrageous price like 135 bucks.
Anyone have a more reasonable priced one?? Even if I have to call half way across nation and have it shipped I will. ALL epay has is aftermarket generic fog lights that fit every car.
It is NOT the corner light but the one down low ,,,below the bumper.
Somebody says Chevy Venture is same body style,,,but it is NOT,,,no lights and different in many ways. I guess 97 thru 2000 are all the same. Pontiac made a similar van,,its name is?????does it have fog lights?? anybody have a decent source? name and number and I will call them.

Try a salvage yard. I have found all sort of parts at 'Pull a Part' here in Louisville.

March 14, 2012
Paul Chryst will oversee his first set of spring drills as head football coach at the University of Pittsburgh beginning March 15.
As offensive coordinator at Wisconsin, Chryst established a reputation for building powerful and prolific units that produced Big Ten titles each of the past two seasons. Chryst and his staff will be looking to replicate that championship formula at Pittsburgh. The process will commence this spring in the form of 15 practices, concluding on April 14.
Pitt returns 53 lettermen from last season's 6-7 team. That total includes 14 starters, including eight on offense, four on defense and two specialists.
The following is a position-by-position look at the Panthers for 2012 spring drills.
Tino Sunseri enters his senior season having started every game the past two years (26 games). As a junior, Sunseri completed 64% of his passes (247 of 385) for 2,616 yards, while throwing 10 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. For his career, Sunseri has passed for 5,302 yards (sixth all-time at Pitt) with 28 TDs against 20 INTs.
Competition will come from a pair of sophomore lettermen, Trey Anderson and Mark Myers. Anderson was the primary backup to Sunseri for most of last season. In four appearances, he completed 12-of-33 passes for 55 yards and threw three interceptions. Myers, who played in four games last year, completed 1-of-4 passes for five yards.
Another sophomore letterman, Anthony Gonzalez, will also get a look at quarterback during the spring. Gonzalez played in 10 games last year, contributing as an H-Back and occasional Wildcat quarterback. His only pass attempt was an incompletion but he did average 4.5 yards per rush (36 yards on eight carries). Gonzalez was an all-state dual-threat QB at Pennsylvania's Liberty High School.
Junior E.J. Banks worked at cornerback last year after transferring from Notre Dame. Banks will begin the spring working at quarterback, a position he last played at nearby Montour High, where he was a 1,000-yard passer each of his final three seasons. Also in the mix at QB will be redshirt freshman walk-on Ron Vega.
Running Backs
Ray Graham was playing at an All-America pace as a junior in 2011 before being sidelined by a right knee injury. Through seven games, Graham was the country's second-leading rusher (134.1 yards/game) and meriting Doak Walker Award consideration. In Pitt's eighth game of the year, against Connecticut, he was injured on the opening series and ultimately underwent season-ending surgery. Graham finished with 958 yards and nine TDs on 164 carries (5.8 avg.). Despite his abbreviated season, league coaches still voted him first team All-Big East.
Graham will be limited during the spring as he continues his rehabilitation. Competing for tailback repetitions in his absence will be a pair of sophomore lettermen, Isaac Bennett and Corey Davis. Bennett pulled off his redshirt following Graham's injury and rushed for 237 yards and two touchdowns on 58 carries (4.1 avg.) over the final five contests of the season. Davis had 48 yards on 17 carries, while also contributing as a kick returner.
Malcolm Crockett enters his first active season following a freshman redshirt. Additionally, senior Desmond Brown enters his second year as a walk-on and will vie for reps.
At fullback, sophomore Mark Giubilato returns after lettering at that position last season. He will be pushed by senior Kris Wildman and sophomores Derrick Burns, Randy Morris and Adam Lazenga.
Wide Receivers
Eight lettermen return at receiver, including last season's top two pass catchers in junior Devin Street and senior Mike Shanahan. Street posted team highs with 53 catches for 754 yards (14.2 avg.) and added two touchdowns. Shanahan had 39 catches for 493 yards (12.6 avg.) and four scores.
Other returning lettermen include seniors Cameron Saddler (19 receptions for 207 yards and a TD in seven starts last year) and Joshua Brinson, junior Ed Tinker, and sophomores Ronald Jones (17 catches for 143 yards), Darius Patton (six catches for 25 yards) and Salath Williams. Also back are sophomores Kevin Weatherspoon and Brett Zuck.
New to active duty are sophomore Brendon Felder, who sat out last year following a transfer from North Carolina, and redshirt freshmen Justin Jackson and Will Rossi. Also, speedy sophomore Brandon Ifill, who lettered at safety last year, will begin the spring at wide receiver, a position he excelled at while starring at nearby Penn Hills High School.
Tight Ends
Senior Hubie Graham leads an experienced group of tight ends. The 2011 season marked Graham's first active year at Pitt following a transfer from Illinois. He emerged as a productive part of the offense with 28 receptions for 325 yards (11.6 avg.) and three touchdowns. Graham was also an asset in the run game as a blocker.
Pitt boasts quality tight end depth with the return of sophomores Brendan Carozzoni and Drew Carswell. Carozzoni played in 12 games, making two starts, and had four catches for 43 yards. Carswell contributed at both H-Back and wide receiver last season, compiling 13 catches for 140 yards (10.8 avg.) and a touchdown.
Offensive Line
This unit was devastated by injuries in 2011, forcing the Panthers to shuffle eight different starting lineup combinations during the course of the season.
At center, senior Ryan Turnley returns after starting all 13 games a year ago. Turnley's play was a bright spot and should pay dividends for the unit's cohesiveness this season. Providing depth at center will be redshirt freshmen Artie Rowell and Andrew Consevage.
The offensive front received a boost when guard Chris Jacobson was awarded a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA. One of Pitt's most experienced and skilled linemen, Jacobson suffered a season-ending left knee injury in the season's third game at Iowa last year. He had made 17 consecutive starts at left guard before the injury. Jacobson's return gives Pitt an immediate infusion of talent and leadership on the offensive front.
In Jacobson's absence last season, two underclassmen guards, Ryan Schlieper and Cory King, gained invaluable on-the-job experience. Schlieper started the final eight games of season, while King made five starts. Now juniors, the two will vie for the starting assignment at right guard. Competition will also come from sophomores Arthur Doakes, Shane Johnson and Brandon Sacco.
Pitt returns two players at tackle with starting experience, junior Juantez Hollins and sophomore Matt Rotheram. Senior Justin Virbitsky will move to tackle full-time after lettering as a reserve tight end last season. New to the mix will be two players entering their first active seasons at Pitt, sophomore Tom Ricketts, who sat out last year following a transfer from Penn State, and junior Zenel Demhasaj, a 2011 JUCO transfer who redshirted.
Defensive Line
Pitt will utilize four down linemen in 2012 after deploying a 3-4 scheme last year. The interior front will feature excellent size and experience. Junior Aaron Donald was an All-Big East performer last season after compiling 16 tackles for loss and 11 sacks. Donald played every position on the defensive front last year but is expected to work at tackle this spring. Joining Donald inside will be a pair of returning lettermen vying for starting roles in junior Tyrone Ezell and sophomore Khaynin Mosley-Smith. Additionally, junior Jack Lippert will compete at tackle after previously lettering as a reserve offensive lineman.
Pitt will be relatively less experienced at defensive end with senior letterman Shayne Hale being the lone upperclassman at this position. Sophomores T.J. Clemmings and Bryan Murphy are coming off redshirt seasons. Both lettered as true frosh in 2010. Sophomore LaQuentin Smith will move to end after lettering as a reserve linebacker last season. Additionally, Devin Cook enters his first active season following a freshman redshirt.
Pitt will look to replace three departed seniors from last year's linebacker unit, including All-Big East performer Max Gruder, who led the Panthers in tackles.
Competition at middle linebacker will revolve around three lettermen: senior Manny Williams, junior Dan Mason and sophomore Ejuan Price. Mason is eyeing a return to healthy form after spending all of last season rehabilitating from a 2010 knee injury. Price earned five starts as a true frosh last year, collecting 27 tackles and four sacks. Junior Emanuel Rackard and redshirt freshman Jeff Meier will also vie for repetitions in the middle this spring.
At Sam linebacker sophomore Todd Thomas will be a leading candidate after contributing in a prominent role last season. The athletic Thomas compiled 47 tackles, four TFLs and an interception despite missing three contests due to injury. He will be pushed by senior and three-year letterman Joe Trebitz, as well as junior Carl Fleming, a top reserve last season. Sophomore Eric Williams, limited to three contests last year due to injury, will also look to be a factor at Sam.
Leading the competition at Will linebacker will be junior Shane Gordon, who has played in every game the past two seasons, making three starts. Also vying for time will be four redshirt freshmen entering their first active seasons: Nicholas Grigsby, Jason Frimpong, Keegan Buck and Michael Theys.
Pitt returns starters at three positions in the secondary, making this an area of strength and experience for the defensive unit.
Senior Jarred Holley is a two-time All-Big East performer at free safety and could be poised for national accolades this year. Holley ranked second on the team with 67 tackles a year ago and has nine career interceptions. Depth and competition at the free will come from senior Marco Pecora, sophomore Ray Vinopal (a 2011 transfer from Michigan) and redshirt freshman Roderick Ryles.
The Panthers boast excellent depth at strong safety with the return of senior Andrew Taglianetti (49 tackles, one INT, two fumble recoveries) and junior Jason Hendricks (36 tackles, one INT). Hendricks started the opening seven games of the year before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Taglianetti subsequently moved into the starting lineup and was a key contributor to Pitt's strong defensive play the final month of the season. Also competing at the strong spot will be redshirt freshman Steve Williams.
Junior cornerback K'Waun Williams is poised for an All-Big East season after starting every game a year ago. Williams was very active, compiling 64 tackles, six PBUs, three forced fumbles and an interception. Sophomore Lloyd Carrington lettered as a true frosh last year and could be ready to seize the corner spot opposite Williams.
Intriguing prospects entering their first active seasons at Pitt include sophomore Cullen Christian (2011 Michigan transfer) and redshirt freshman Lafayette Pitts. Sophomores Joe Lopez and Patrick Fisher are also in the mix at corner.
Both starting specialists are back for 2012. Senior placekicker Kevin Harper posted a team-high 95 points last year, converting 21-of-31 field goals (68%) and 32-of-33 extra points (97%). Harper ranked 11th nationally in field goals per game (1.62 avg.). Boasting a big leg, he tied the Heinz Field record for longest field goal (pro or college) with a 52-yarder against Cincinnati.
Junior Matt Yoklic averaged 41.2 yards per punt to rank second in the Big East. Yoklic finished the year in a flurry, placing 18 punts inside the 20-yard line over the final six regular-season contests.
Sophomore Drake Greer is capable of contributing at either placekicker or punter. Junior Kevin Barthelemy handled long snapping for punts and field goals last year. Redshirt freshman David Murphy also returns at long snapper.

Mason, Mich. • A federal appeals court issued an order Saturday preventing more same-sex couples from getting married in Michigan for at least several more days.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said it issued the stay because it needed more time to consider the state's appeal of a judge's ruling Friday overturning Michigan's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. The court said its stay would last until at least Wednesday.
Earlier Saturday, dozens of same-sex couples in at least four Michigan counties wasted no time in getting hitched, uncertain of how the appeals court would act.
On Friday, federal Judge Bernard Friedman overturned Michigan's gay marriage ban, the latest in a series of decisions overturning similar laws across the country.

Magnum ice cream to Dove soap maker Unilever today laid bare the extent of its difficulties in emerging markets as it reported a near 7% slump in global turnover over the past quarter.
Along with many consumer goods companies hit by the sudden growth slowdown in Asia and Latin America since the US Federal Reserve began debating slowing its stimulus efforts, Unilever had already braced the market last month for a bad set of numbers.
In the event, the third quarter trading statement showed turnover falling 6.5% to €12.5 billion (£10.2 billion). What it called underlying sales growth, at 3.2%, was the slowest quarterly pace for four years.
Meanwhile, Europe and North America continued to flatline despite economic data suggesting a recovery is well under way. Shares in the company fell sharply after last month's profit warning, and slipped only slightly today, falling 2p to 2494p.
Chief executive Paul Polman today put a brave face on the numbers, saying that his company was still faring better than its competitors. "Emerging markets continue to be the main driver of our growth and, despite the current slowdown, they remain a significant growth opportunity which the company is well-placed to capitalise on," he said.
Investors said there was some relief that the company had not further reduced its profit forecasts for the full year, with the general mood in the markets being that today's numbers "could have been worse".
Investec analyst Martin Deboo said: "Slower, slower everywhere. The story of Q3 is one of slowing geographies, slowing categories and some Macmillanite 'little local difficulties'."
The figures showed emerging markets growth had slowed from 10.3% in June to just 5.9%.
Food sales had a tricky season, with disappointingly slow sales of ice cream from the Walls owner in recession-bound southern Europe. Northern Europe was stronger, as the long, hot summer spurred sales. A global relaunch of Cornetto and continued strong sales of Magnum choc ices helped boost demand.Reuse content
