text: Autotech's Mk V GTI Share Comments Volkswagen tuners in North America have it rough. Not only are they forced to put up with VW's notoriously long product cycle, they also have to wait an extra year or so after a new model is launched in Europe before it arrives on our shores. A perfect example is the fifth-generation GTI, which debuted last fall in Europe (a full seven years after the Mk IV GTI came to market), but won't be available here until early next spring. Not content to simply wait it out, veteran VW tuning house AutoTech has taken bold measures to ensure that when the first US-spec GTIs roll onto dealers' lots next year, they'll have a full catalog of modifications waiting. Taking advantage of the market-timing gap between Europe and America, AutoTech went to Germany and purchased a European-spec GTI and went to work turning wrenches right away. OK, it wasn't really that simple. Clearly you can't just fly to Germany, buy a new GTI, then ship it home. We wish! Once the car was purchased, the red tape started flowing. All told, it took AutoTech nearly a year to convince the US government that it was necessary for them to have this car here for product development purposes. Of course, part of the deal is that the car won't be driven on public roads, and it can only be here for a year before returning to Europe or going to the crusher. By the time this GTI leaves the country next March, however, US models should be arriving in local showrooms. Once the little red GTI got the stamp of approval, the guys in San Juan Capistrano went off in search of improvement. This was a bigger challenge than in the past, as VW actually put a fair effort into making the Mk V GTI a "real" GTI again. Factory seats, suspension, and power were all significant improvements over the outgoing model. But as good as the new GTI is in stock form, Autotech understands that enthusiasts have different needs, and it wasn't long before some new solutions surfaced. The 200-hp 2.0T engine that comes in every new GTI is one fine motor, with very little turbo lag and a healthy torque curve. But really, if 200 horsepower is good, another 50 horses couldn't hurt, right? Autotech turned to the hexa-decimal wizards at APR to dial up the boost, fueling and ignition settings to bring total output up a bit. The result is APR's Stage I ECU upgrade, taking to horsepower 252 on 93-octane gas, with an even more significant gain in torque from 200 lb-ft to 303. In search of even more ponies, Autotech developed its own cold-air intake system. Still in prototype form, the intake air is fed through a 3-inch inlet tube directly to a high-flow air filter in the intake plenum for increased throttle response and a more entertaining under-hood symphony. On the other side of the engine lies Autotech's T321 stainless exhaust system. The exceptionally thin construction eliminates more than 10 pounds as compared to the original, at the same time endowing the hot hatch with a more appropriate growl. For now all this power runs through the stock 6-speed manual gearbox, but Autotech is working with Quaife, for whom they are the exclusive North American distributor, to develop an Automatic Torque-Biasing (ATB) differential for the new GTI as well as the Jetta V. A lightweight flywheel and high-performance clutch are also in the works. In the meantime, they have modified the transmission mount for less engine and transmission movement under acceleration to provide better traction and reduce wheel hop. Modifying the suspension on the Mk V GTI presented a real challenge. The newest generation does away with the old twist-beam semi-independent rear axle in favor of a truly independent multi-link suspension. This alone addressed some of the handling limitations of past GTIs, and most who have driven the model would agree that Volkswagen has struck a fine balance between ride and handling with the stock suspension settings. Being careful not to upset this balance, Autotech developed the Club Sport suspension. The setup consists of fixed-height sport lowering springs and shocks with rates that are optimized for each other. The result is a ride height nearly 2 ½ inches lower than stock and with slightly firmer settings. Cornering ability is enhanced with the addition of Autotech's famous hollow, tubular-style sway bars, measuring 25mm in diameter at both the front and the back, each employing adjustable end links for fine-tuning. Unlike past models with their twist beam setup, the Mk V GTI's multi-link rear axle can make due with smaller diameter sway bars. Combined with the hollow structure of Autotech's design, this keeps additional weight to a minimum. Going faster and cornering faster are both great things, but at some point you must also come to a stop, so why not do that faster as well? Autotech developed a high-performance brake conversion for Mk V chassis, consisting of massive 362mm (14.25") x 32mm front rotors squeezed upon by AP Racing 6-piston calipers. In the back, 310mm (12.2") x 25mm rotors are used with a pair of upgraded rear calipers from the VAG parts bin, retaining the parking brake. Stainless steel-covered Teflon brake lines deliver hydraulic pressure to the big brakes, offering improved pedal feel and better modulation compared to the factory rubber hoses. With brakes that big, it's safe to say Autotech wasn't even going to try to refit the factory 17" alloys. Smart move, not only from a functional standpoint, but also from an aesthetic one. The latest evolution of the GTI design seems to swallow any wheel less than 18 inches in diameter, and even those can look small at times. Instead they fitted 19-inch versions of a German classic, the BBS RS-GT, and wrapped them in 225/35-19 Yokohama Parada Spec-2 rubber. Not only do the wheels fill up the generous fenders, they also look absolutely perfect for the Autobahn burner that this GTI is. The BBS's aren't the only nod to German style. Autotech treated the bodywork to some upgrades from none other than Zender. The complete kit consists of a new front bumper and grille, deeper side skirts and rear valance made of flexible polyurethane. The kit gives the lowered GTI an aggressive presence on the road. Inside, the crew has pulled out the excellent front sport seats in favor of a pair of ultralight Sparco EVO seats. Driver and passenger are each restrained by Schroth Profi-III six-point competition harnesses. Rear seat passengers? Not in this ride- the rear seats have also been removed as part of the weight-saving plan. It goes without saying that you find a trunkful of subwoofers and amps; in the words of the Autotech guys, "Who cares about listening to the radio when you have a 2.0T on boost???" As a leader in the Volkswagen tuning scene, Autotech takes pride in being the first to get their hands on this important new model. Their test mule made the major show circuit this summer to get customer feedback and, aside from a few non-VW enthusiasts who thought it was a really cool-looking Civic, reaction was good. As of this writing, the car is still undergoing new product development and testing, and if you don't get a chance to see this car again before it goes back home, you'll certainly see the fruits of Autotech's labor on the first few modified GTIs in "civilian" hands next summer.

German Hackers Convicted Over Theft and Leakage of Unpublished Songs
A court in Duisberg (Germany) sentenced 2 German teenagers on June 16, 2011 because they had hacked the PCs belonging to celebrities like Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga. PCWorld.com reported this on June 17, 2011.
Going by the names Deniz A, aged 18 and Christian M., aged 13, the twin computer hackers sent phishing e-mails that delivered a Trojan for theft of unreleased songs. The crooks made obtainable or sold the unpublished songs on secret crime forums online.
The IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) that helped during the investigation as also, in general, frequently made court cases public that were associated with piracy said that Deniz A. got an 18-month imprisonment and would further undergo therapy for countering his obsession with Web-surfing after which he'd participate in community service spanning 6-months. Christian M. conversely, got a suspended sentence for 18-months.
Deniz A., alias DJ or DJ Stolen, was further charged with acquiring photos from the PC of Kesha an artist whom he actually blackmailed.
But, after a while, DJ said sorry to Lady Gaga through a letter, which a German newspaper published, an approach that seemingly worked although limitedly since the judge maintained that Deniz A. was motivated largely with an aspiration for recognition and much less with criminal intent.
Said the prosecutors, both Deniz and Christian earned more than 15,000 euros because of their activity; however, the resultant harm was much more as millions in losses accrued owing to damages from the tracks that hadn't yet been published.
Furthermore, it appears the twin hackers belonged to a bigger hacking campaign attacking recording artists. For, investigators found a whole society of hackers that vied for theft of maximum number of unpublished content.
Usher the R&B singer, understandably annulled an already-released record of 2009, since the songs within the album were exposed online.
Jeremy Banks of IFPI appeared more-or-less happy hearing the judge's ruling as he felt that other hackers might be deterred knowing about the 18-month incarceration, whilst the move would also assist in stopping massive damage to record companies and artists. Tgdaily.com published this on June 17, 2011.

March 15, 2014
PITTSBURGH – The University of Pittsburgh softball team (8-13, 0-5 ACC) dropped a pair of games to North Carolina (13-11, 7-1 ACC) on Saturday afternoon in the Panthers' ACC home opener at Vartabedian Field.
North Carolina took game one 9-0 in five innings behind three home runs, and then won the night cap 8-7 in extra innings. Pitt's Maggie Sevilla was 3-for-6 on the afternoon, while she, Carly Thea and Tori Nirschl all drove in two runs in game two.
Game One: North Carolina 9, Pitt 0 (Five Innings)
North Carolina's Kendra Lynch busted the game wide open in the bottom of the first inning with a grand slam as the Tar Heels went on to defeat Pitt 9-0 in five innings.
North Carolina hit three homers in the game, two of which were in the first inning en route to scoring seven runs in the frame which put the game out of reach.
Leading 1-0, the first UNC round-tripper was Lynch's grand slam which put the Tar Heels up 5-0. Two batters later Jordan Scarboro launched a two-run shot to left center for a 7-0 advantage.
The Tar Heels would tack on a third home run in the second inning as Amber Parrish went yard, and the final run of the game came in the fifth inning on an RBI single from Kristen Brown. UNC out-hit Pitt 8-3 for the game.
Game Two: North Carolina 8, Pitt 7 (Eight Innings)
North Carolina scored the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth inning on a Jenna Kelly RBI single and the Tar Heels withstood a rally from the Panthers in the bottom half of the inning to hold on for an 8-7 extra inning victory.
UNC jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first when Kelly homered off the scoreboard in left field.
Pitt answered in the bottom of the third inning with four runs to take their first lead of the day. Tori Nirschl led off the inning with a walk, which was followed by Jordan Fannin reaching on a fielding error by the UNC left fielder. Two batters later, Sevilla roped a double to right center which scored both Nirschl and Fannin. The next batter was Thea and she smacked her third home run of the season with a laser to left center which gave the Panthers a 4-3 lead.
The Tar Heels regained the lead in the fifth inning by plating three runs which gave them a 6-4 advantage. The Panthers allowed three walks in the inning and two of those base runners came around to score. The big hit came from pinch hitter Lauren Walker with a two RBI double to left field.
But with the Panthers trailing 7-4 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Pitt rallied for three runs which tied the game at 7-7. With one out, Savannah King was hit by a pitch and then Ashlee Sills singled to left. Taylor Henry would line out for the second out, but Katherine Kramer loaded the bases with a walk which brought up Nirschl who provided a two-RBI single to center field. Jordan Fannin followed that up with a bloop single to shallow right which plated Kathryn Duran to tie the game.
Pitt had an opportunity to win the game in the bottom of the seventh inning but could not score Sevilla who led off the inning with a double, and Pitt would enter its second extra inning game of the season.
UNC struck in the top of the eighth inning with back-to-back one out singles which put runners on first and second for Kelly who smacked a single to right field for the go-ahead run. Kelly was 2-for-4 with four RBI in the night cap.
Once again, the Panthers threatened to tie or win the game in the home half of the frame, but stranded Nirschl and Fannin who led off the inning by reaching safely. Both the Panthers and the Tar Heels left 10 runners on base in the game.
Pitt and UNC will conclude the three game series tomorrow afternoon at Noon.

How did this new album and overall concept for it come about, and what are your ultimate goals with it?
Well, eOne Music, the label/distributor with which Im in business, wanted me to make a totally different album - much more minimal, with just me and my jazz trio. I had basically gone along with that plan, but when it came down to actually sitting there with John Daversa and putting the song-list together, I got a little crazy. I wanted strings on this, woodwinds on that, horns on this, all three on that. Not machines. There are no machines anywhere on this album. If you hear it, somebody played it.
At what point in your life did you make the decision to become a professional musician and actually record your own albums?
I don't think I ever really made that decision. More like it was made for me. The teacher who hated me the most in elementary school also asked me to sing a Beatles song (We Can Work It Out) for the entire school at assembly. As early as 10 years old I was being put in leading roles in BBC music plays in England.
Going back in your life as far as you can remember, what song or performance is the first you recall hearing and being affected by?
I remember a classical piece called "On Hearing The First Cuckoo In Spring" by Fredrick Delius that my dad always played on the piano in the house...it is literally my earliest musical memory from when I was two or three. Delius was a genius - way ahead of his time. Then there were amazing concerts I saw growing up, my dad with George Shearing, Mulligan, Carmen McRae, Ella, June Christy - all these people have had a major influence on me. And then there was hearing Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" on local radio in Los Angeles and torturing my mother until she bought me the tape and an Emerson cassette-corder to play it on. Or the early Walkman my old man sent me with a tape of Earth Wind & Fires Serpentine Fire already inside.
What would be the most important piece of advice youd impart to a young musician just starting out in the jazz/smooth jazz arena?
To singers, I'd say dont be an impression of anybody else. Dont be a Sinatra or Chet Baker or Billy Holliday impersonator. There are already plenty of those. Find your own true voice and work from there. Listen to the slightly lesser known greats. Bobby Troup, Matt Dennis, Jeri Southern, Carmen McRae, June Christy
my old man of course. And mean every word you sing. From Mel Tormé to Michael Jackson, all of my singing heroes did that every time.
What are you most proud of at this point in your life and career?
Winning the John Lennon Award, playing the Greek Theater, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and with famous orchestras in other cities, pulling off complicated musical works in front of thousands of fans - who give you standing ovations it's all great stuff. Great stuff. And I've enjoyed it. But ultimately, what I think Im most proud of is this debut album.
What would you define as the most life-changing event so far in your musical career?
My dads death in 1999 was almost certainly the most life-changing event - (and the life before it) especially in terms of how it affected my music career. Its the inspiration behind the level of focus, care and ambition that Ive put into my own music. And obviously I have surrounded myself with quite a lot of his music partly to keep him close to me so to speak meanwhile I find myself striving for new musical places and levels he would be happy with.

Bank Runs Consider an economy in which consumers live for three periods (called period 1, 2, and 3). Each consumer has an endowment of 20 goods when young, and nothing when middle-aged and when old. Utility from consumption depends on what "type" a consumer is, as follows: u ( c 1 ,c 2 ,c 3 ) = log [ c 2 ] for type 1 — impatient log [ c 2 + c 3 ] for type 2 — patient There are 200 consumers, and half will become each type. However, consumers only learn their type in period 2. Assume no one else can observe the types (an agent knows her type only).

Sport: Athletics (wheelchair racing)
Record holder? Weir equalled Baroness Tanni-Grey Thompson's record of six London Marathon victories against the best-ever field assembled for the men's wheelchair race yesterday.
He said afterwards: "This is my favourite win ever because the field was so strong. I was quite emotional when I crossed the line as it could be my last London Marathon for a while."
Off the record: The Croydon-based athlete revealed before the start of the race that his girlfriend Emily was expecting the couple's second child in October. They already have a son, Mason, aged eight months.
Chance of an Paralympic record? Weir has said he is in the form of his life at present but has set himself the target of a solitary gold at the Paralympics.
On paper, he should do much better. He won three gold medals at last year's IPC Athletics World Championships and could go for four in London: the 800m, 1500m, 5,000m and marathon.Reuse content

Costume Photos
Costume Information
|Okay, well this was my first proper cosplay and so it was a bought costume (trousers, top, cloak and bandana), with the feet armour, claw and cerberus gun made between myself and my dad.
The Gun being made out of a base toy gun, with added plastic pipes of 2 sizes and femo for the dogs decoration and shaping a part of the gun.
The armour and claw being made out of wonderflex and had a few layers of primer paint in 'attempt' to smooth it out as suggested. I will probably re-paint over these with the paint I have used for my Steiner cosplay as it works quite a bit better =D Maybe even improve on the claw when I get round to making the claws for my Taelea OC cosplay.
Though I have some different trousers for it, as the ones shown in the photos are just a little too short. Though unsure when I'm going to wear this again, I do but I always feel icky after wearing it >.< Definitely a cosplay for the colder weather XD

Create a Scholarship
It's easy and fun to create new scholarships! You get to decide the parameters, based on the type of person you'd like see be able to attend college. It can be a small amount, just enough to pay for some books, or a substantial amount that will take a financial load off a student.
Businesses, individuals and homeschool graduates are encouraged to invest in today's homeschooled students. The reality is that students today can't work their way through college as many did in the past, with today's cost being more than $40,000 a year for many schools.
Providing a homeschool scholarship isn't a difficult process. All that's needed is a form, deadline date, publicity (which we guarantee to give), a selection committee and of course, the money! We have provided a sample form in Microsoft Word format, designed to showcase the unique contributions of homeschooled students. Anyone is welcome to use a portion or all of this form.
Homeschooled students are unique in many ways, and need to have scholarships tailored accordingly. Many, while academically gifted, choose community involvement and hands-on activities to grow and learn instead of spending hours alone studying for the perfect score. Focusing only on grades and maxing out SAT and ACT tests isn't considered the mark of a good homeschool education. While many scholarship committees claim to be looking for the well-rounded person, the forms they use indicate it often comes down to class rank, GPA, SAT/ACT test scores, school clubs and leadership positions.
List of Scholarship Considerations
Scholarships can be offered to homeschooled students anywhere in the world, limited to a specific country, or to a particular state or region. They can be offered to students attending a particular type of college, majoring in a specific subject area, or limited to those having accomplished certain criteria. We will publicize at no cost all scholarships designed exclusively for homeschooled students.
Any business, organization or foundation offering homeschool scholarships will be provided a link to their Web site, free of charge.

You can spend hours - if not days inside the edit, eyes focused on your bright monitor, so it's important you choose the best tools to help you become more productive than ever before.
A few months back we had a dream of creating the most advanced editing keyboard for Davinci Resolve 12.5 so we put our heads together and worked with thousands of editors just like you from around the world, to come up with the ultimate backlit editing keyboard.
Now for the first time you can edit faster, reduce eye strain with the world's first and only backlit editing keyboard for Davinci Resolve 12. Say hello to the world's first backlit editing keyboard for Davinci Resolve 12.5 and below.
From ColdPlay's producer Rik Simpson, the BBC, Fox Network to thousands of home users, the campaign was backed from users from all over the world. The successful Kickstarter campaign reached over a huge 200% funding goal.
That's why we've developed the brand new range of backlit keyboards, all designed for your editing software.
How many times have you sat in a dark room editing, struggling to see the keyboard, or simply used a poor quality keyboard? We're getting rid of both of those problems today.
Eye strain is a big problem for most computer users and for editors working in a dimly lit room the problem can be much greater. Did you know you can be causing yourself to suffer with eye strain, back pain and neck pain?
We worked with Optical Express in the UK to ensure we developed a product which would help remove these problems.
"This innovation should significantly reduce eye strain symptoms. This will ultimately improve efficiency for the user & improve eye health in the long term" said Stephen Hannan, Clinical Services Director of Optical Express.
The keyboards are designed to help you edit faster than ever before. No more looking through PDF's to find the shortcuts for Davinci Resolve 12 Now you'll have them to hand. You'll be surprised how quickly you can edit.
Editors Keys are used by most of the worlds top editing suites, post production houses, recording studios and universities, so it's time for you to improve your computer set up and join the editing revolution.
This keyboard will work out of the box on your Mac. Please note this will not work correctly on Windows.
There are 9 question(s) for this product.
Do you have a "next node" / "previous node" command on your resolve-keyboard?
By Uli on May 11, 2016
We sure do and we have a lot of other 'Node' related shortcuts too. I think you'll love the keyboard!
What version of Resolve does this keyboard have shortcuts for?
By Kevin on June 24, 2016
This keyboard is fully compatible with the latest version of DaVinci Resolve.
When will these be back in stock again? I've been looking since March now and they've been permanently out of stock!
By Tim on September 5, 2016
Hey Tim,
Good news they're now back in stock!
I've moved to Davinci Resolve12.5 as my main editing program and would like to retire my old FCP keyboard.
Do you have any plans to release a Resolve keyboard for editors?
What I'm looking for is basically the same keys as the Logic for FCP keyboards but configured for R12.
By James Leonard on September 20, 2016
Hi James
Good news, we have a full collection of Davinci Keyboards and Covers:
Two questions, actually. I see the DaVinci Resolve Keyboard - Backlit Mac. Two questions: Its the keyboard aluminum (preferred) or is it plastic. and 2) I see keyboards specifically for DaVinci Resolve 12.5.... is this one for DaVinci Resolve 12.5?
By Rick on October 3, 2016
Hi Rick - We can confirm this is a plastic keyboard and works perfectly for DaVinci Resolve 12.5.
is the back light adjustable - i.e. off, low, mid, high?
can i extend my mouse from it?
By tom on October 10, 2016
Hey Tom - Yes the backlit has three modes, great for all situations. There are no USB ports in the keyboard.
Working with Resolve 12.5 and being mapped for resolve 12.5 are two different things. BMD has changed some of its keyboard mapping. Is it up to date?
By Dario on November 12, 2016
Hi Dario - Thanks for the message. We can confirm the keyboard is fully up to date.You're going to love it!
Your blog from January shows a Mac/PC hybrid keyboard for Resolve, but the store shows a Mac only version. Is there a PC or hybrid version available?
By Diarmuid on December 28, 2016
Hey Diarmuid - The PC versions are now available on this page. Enjoy

Chiquita Brands International said Friday that it is using a new wash on its bagged salads that better kills bacteria including E. coli and salmonella.
Chiquita (CQB) said it will longer use the industry standard wash of chlorine, which it said leaves some bacteria on the leaves. Instead it will use a mixture it calls FreshRinse. It has no chlorine and kills the bacteria both on the greens and in the wash water.
The new rinse is made with peroxyacetic acid, an organic peroxide, and lactic acid, which is found in some milk products. Both substances are already approved by regulators for use with food, so no additional approval is needed.
The company is applying for a patent for FreshRinse.
CEO Fernando Aguirre says the rinse dramatically improves food safety.
"Chlorine is the abacus, and FreshRinse is the iPad," he said at a news conference to announce the change.

"We're not going halfway here," Ohio State coach Thad Matta told his team as it trailed No. 1-ranked and undefeated Illinois 64-62 during a timeout with 12 seconds left. "We're going for the win."
Sure enough, Matta drew up a play where junior forward Matt Sylvester would step out and attempt a three-pointer. The Buckeyes executed the play to perfection as Sylvester took a pass from Brandon Fuss-Cheatham on the right wing and drilled the trey heard 'round the college basketball world.
The shot, with just 5.1 seconds left, lifted Ohio State to an improbable 65-64 upset of the Fighting Illini before a sellout crowd of 19,200 at Value City Arena Sunday.
Illinois had one last shot, but Roger Powell's three-pointer at the buzzer missed the mark. VCA and the college basketball world had been turned on their collective ears. Illinois (29-1, 15-1) was denied a chance to be the first team to finish a Big Ten season unbeaten since Indiana did it in back-to-back years in 1974-75 and 1975-76.
"I feel like I'm in a dream," said Sylvester, who tallied a career-high 25 points. "I feel like I'm going to wake up and it will all be over."
For Ohio State, this was its national championship game. The Buckeyes are serving a self-imposed postseason ban this year in connection with NCAA rules violations that occurred under previous coach Jim O'Brien's watch.
"We knew that in the back of our heads," admitted Matta, whose first OSU team snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 19-11 overall and 8-8 in Big Ten play. "We never said it, but this was the game."
The victory has to rate as one of the biggest upsets in Ohio State basketball history. Many OSU students and fans rushed the floor and celebrated for several minutes after the final buzzer, hoisting OSU players on their shoulders.
"I'm speechless," added OSU center and captain Terence Dials, who had 21 points and eight rebounds. "This has been an unbelievable run for this team. After all of the adversity we've been through, to beat Illinois, to beat the No. 1 team and for it to be on senior day, I'm at a loss for words right now.
"Coach told us in the locker room. This is the game that put Ohio State back on the map. We have a great young coach. We got a big win today on CBS. I think that can only help the program."
The Buckeyes trailed by 11 points at halftime and by as many as 12 as late as 11-1/2 minutes remaining. But they slowly rallied and put themselves in position to snatch the game away in the final seconds.
"Saying this was a big win would be the understatement of the world," Matta said. "I couldn't be happier for these players, with everything they have been through. The commitment they have to this program is amazing. I told them going into the game they were going to have to give every ounce of everything they have."
Matta has experience in pulling off upsets of undefeated No. 1-ranked teams. A year ago, his Xavier team crushed then-No. 1 St. Joseph's 87-67.
"I'd like to be the other team, the No. 1 team," Matta joked. "This wears a guy down. I'm living for the day I'm the No. 1 team and somebody else is trying to do it to me."
This upset was predicated on defense and curtailing costly turnovers. Dee Brown led Illinois with 13 points, while Roger Powell and Luther Head each had 12 points. But the backcourt of Brown, Head and Deron Williams combined to go 7 for 27 from the floor. At the same time, OSU finished the game with just eight turnovers, none coming in the final 20 minutes.
"I don't think we stopped them so much as we just wanted to take away their easy shots and their transition shots," said OSU senior Tony Stockman, playing his last game at VCA.
"At halftime, Coach said if we took care of the ball and rebounded better, we would have a chance to be in this game," said Fuss-Cheatham, also a senior.
The upset is even harder to comprehend when you consider that the Illini had beaten OSU by 19 points in the first meeting in Champaign, winning the Big Ten opener 84-65 on Jan. 5. Only four teams all year had played Illinois under 10 points. The Illini, which had won its games by an average of over 17 points, came into Columbus after wins of 36 points over Northwestern and 34 over Purdue.
"We needed to play the style we have been successful at playing," said Illinois coach Bruce Weber. "Ohio State got us on our heels and did not quit. We backed off. This was something to learn as a coach, not to back off."
Regarding the play of his three stellar guards, Weber said, "We expect so much out of all those guys every game. They just didn't have it today."
Illinois will still go into the Big Ten tournament in Chicago as the No. 1 seed. The Illini still have to be favored to also grab a No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament as well.
"It wasn't our goal to go undefeated," Weber said. "This is something to learn from. At the first press conference, I said we were going to lose sooner or later and I guess I was right. The next stretch is the most important of the year. This is what people will remember."
The win lifted Ohio State into sole possession of sixth place in the final standings. The Buckeyes will play 11th-seeded Penn State (7-22, 1-15) in an opening round game Thursday at 5 p.m. Eastern (ESPN2).
Illinois got 13 second-chance points during the first half in building its 38-27 advantage. After grabbing an early 5-4 lead, the Illini scored 11 straight points – five from Brown and four from Jack Ingram – to go up 16-4 with 14:26 left in the half.
OSU rallied with an 8-2 run. J.J. Sullinger hit a driving jumper. Then, after James Augustine made a layup inside, Dials rebounded a Sullinger miss and scored, Fuss-Cheatham hit a jumper in transition and Foster completed a back door layup off a feed from Sylvester to cut the deficit to 18-12 with 9:37 left.
The Illini got the lead back out to 11 quickly on a garbage basket by Powell and a three-pointer from Brown off a feed by Head to make it 23-12 with 7:55 left.
OSU got as close as five by scoring six straight. Sylvester made a trey and three free throws to cut the lead to 29-24 with 2:56 left.
But, as has been the case in many of OSU's losses, the Buckeyes could not sustain the momentum to end the half. Illinois outscored OSU 9-3 to end the half. Particularly troubling was the closing sequence. OSU trailed 35-27 after Dials made a pair of free throws with 45.3 seconds left. Ingram then missed a shot at the Illinois end and OSU's Jamar Butler rebounded with 25 seconds left.
OSU figured to hold for a late shot. But Sullinger saw a lane and drove to the basket. He made the shot but it was waved off by a charging foul as he crashed into Powell with 11.6 seconds left. And, instead of going in down six, disaster struck as Brown worked the ball to Head, who canned a three-pointer with one second left to put the Illini up 11.
"That was a big turning point in the game," Matta said. "I felt we had a chance to cut it to seven or six there. Then, they came down and executed a play to perfection and he made a shot."
Head hit two more threes in the first three minutes of the second half as the Illini clung to a 46-34 lead with 16:17 left.
But the Buckeyes rallied behind a 14-6 run to twice cut the lead down to four. Sylvester and Dials each had three-point plays during this run. Dials scored off a feed from Foster on the secondary break to cut the lead to 55-51 with 7:51 left. Then, after Powell tallied a rebound basket for Illinois, Dials' rebound basket cut the lead to 57-53 with 6:29 left.
"The one thing we did, we continued to defend," Matta said. "We started chipping away and at that point we said, `We can do this.' "
Augustine's three-point play with 6:11 left gave the Illini a 60-53 advantage. But Foster answered with a three-pointer off a feed from Stockman to cut the lead to 60-56 with 5:29 left.
Augustine then tallied on a rebound basket for Illinois, but Foster's two free throws with 3:37 left cut the lead back down to 62-58. Augustine answered again as he and Williams executed a perfect give-and-go for a slam and a 64-58 lead with 3:23 left. But the Illini would not score again.
After the teams traded misses, Dials made a spinning shot in the lane with 2:08 left. Augustine then traveled under pressure in the post with 1:51 left.
Sylvester isolated against Augustine and took him to the basket for a layup, getting the lead down to 64-62 with 1:40 left. Powell then had his shot inside rejected by Dials with 1:08 left.
But OSU could not tie or take the lead as Sylvester missed and Powell rebounded with 47 seconds left. OSU opted to defend and, when Head missed a three-pointer and Stockman rebounded with 17 seconds left, they had one last chance. OSU called a timeout with 12 seconds left to draw up the game winning play.
"When you're playing the best team in college basketball you want a shot to win the game at the end," Matta said. "And we got it. Fortunately, it was a positive ending."
Sylvester canned his trey, giving just the second VCA sellout of the season something to cheer for.
The Illini had to go the length of the floor. Their first inbounds pass was knocked out of bounds by OSU's Stockman with 2.2 seconds left. Then, the Buckeyes denied the Illini guards a chance to tie or win the game, leaving Powell to take the last shot.
"We were trying to foul," said Matta, whose team had only committed five second-half fouls. "We had a foul to give. I thought we played it pretty well and Tony did a good job of getting his hand on the ball. We wanted to give as much help as we could (on the guards). It is frightening how well they shoot the ball."

Can Google Survive the Internet?
Founding Partner Bill Davidow, author of Overconnected, raises a provocative question on CNBC.com.
The question may seem ridiculous but the answer is not obvious.
First, I should state that I feel that Google is doing a fantastic job of offering inventive and creative new technologies to the market. Second, I should define what I mean by survive. I cannot imagine Google vanishing but I can easily envision their high profit business model getting broken and there invincible position substantially weakening.
The risk is they will become boring.
When most of us look at Google all we can envision is a juggernaut that will continue to expand and live forever. I have trouble seeing anything other than this happening. But if history has a lesson to teach us, it is nothing that good goes on forever or even very long.

**Everything you need to know about eBay headers**
I'm sick and tired of seeing people too lazy to search about eBay headers and making new threads about it EVERYDAY. So I'm making this to end the lazy noobs' inability to search. Hopefully this is informative....sticky?
Well gosh Ken, what are eBay headers? Why are they so cheap?
Simple. They're replicas of Supersprint headers made in Taiwan, that's why they are so cheap. But they are just as good, and dozens of people have run them on this website with no issues. In my personal experience, I have found my 330 eBay headers to be nearly identical to those from Active Autowerke.
Will my car be ungodly loud and wake the dead?
Yes and no. It depends on what exhaust setup you have. Despite whatever Chase (2000_328ci) tries to tell you, he is uneducated when it comes to this and just ignore what he says.
LOUD (and not recommended): Any UUC TSEx system, Rogue DMS, straight pipes, kpeng special, any "cannister" style system or no true muffler setup
NOT THAT BAD: Any real muffler system - i.e stock muffler, Rogue IKON, Magnaflow, B&B, etc.
That's dandy! What seller should I purchase from, and how much will I pay?
gtmotogarage or trader-nas. Stay away from boombop, he has been known to ship the wrong headers out. delubozparts used to sell them at the market price, but got too greedy after seeing the demand. Do not pay more than $160-$170 shipped for a set.
Golly gosh, what's this I hear about people getting the wrong headers?
If you buy from one of the two recommended sellers I mentioned, you will be ok. 323/328 headers, 325/330 headers, and M3 headers are all different. The M3 headers are obvious, where the 323/328 and 325/330 have different flanges where it bolts onto your exhaust system:
Here is a comparison of the 325/330 headers & 323/328 headers (thanks AdamBath)
And these are M3 headers:
Well geewhiz! How much power do I stand to gain?!
I've read everywhere from 15-20 hp. Our stock headers are extremely restrictive as they essentially create a bottleneck effect, and have the catalytic converters built into them.
Hallelujah Ken! But...how do I get rid of my CEL light?
You have three options.
1) Live with it.
2) Get custom software to remove the light (no, Shark Injector will not work). I suggest Active Autowerke.
3) Do the spark plug de-foulder DIY, this is the cheapest way to do it.
Will the software or defouler mod help me pass emissions?
No, it only tricks the car into thinking everything is running a-ok. You will still fail emissions because you have no cats to get rid of the pollutants from your exhaust. Your two options are to bribe/get a friend to sign off on smog inspection forms, or buy racing cats.
Shucks, what is this I hear about ceramic coating and header wraps?
You ceramic coat the headers, or wrap them in header wrap to prevent the rest of your engine bay from getting hotter than usual because you will be getting rid of the heat shield on the stock headers. You can either send them out to www.jet-hot.com to get ceramic coated, or buy header wrap from Pep Boys, or do what I did and buy a bottle of VHT Flameproof Ceramic Spray from Summit Racing
Since I'm so retarded I can't even search for something, how can I be able to install these by myself?
If you're one of those who can't search before you make a thread, you're a lost hope, go find a mechanic. But if you are halfway intelligent, here are a few helpful threads. It's not a hard install.
Feel free to add if you guys think I forgot something. I'm sure AdamBath has a few things to add, being one of the few who know what he's talking about. There you go noobies, now stop making threads without searching. :4ngie:
^^ Thats Great
i say sticky this thread!!! and to the poster :bow:
LOL....someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
J/K...great write-up Ken. Very concise and to the point.:thumbsup:
Great write-up!
10 bucks says, someone is gonna make an ebay header thread today
By golly, gee willakers! Great galloping ghosts, this a great thread! Sticky that ish!
Thank kpeng! This also helps those who aren't complete tools. I'll bookmark this for when I decide to get headers.
Wonderful thread. Sticky this!!!
nice write up ken!
excellent thread!
this thread is racist!
For the emmisions test...get a bottle of Guaranteed to Pass. 1st try i didn't pass, a friend told me about it so i tried it and i passed the next day.
lol...ouch...it was more of a free bump for a good thread...sorry :hmm:
It might be a good idea to mention that wrapping your headers is borderline worthless and inadvisable. You are much better off with ceramic coating.
what?? more details please...how does it work?
bump for sticky!
Great write up Ken

Watch Can We Help in high quality on iviewwatch on iview
How did James Finch gain so much public support? Richard, SA
In the early hours of the morning of 8 March 1973, a huge fireball swept up the stairs of the Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub in Brisbanes Fortitude Valley. A desperate crowd of about 100 people tried to flee, smashing windows and doors. Ten men and five women were killed, including staff and members of the band. The nightclub circuit had been plagued by fire bombings and extortion. At the time, this event was the biggest mass murder in Australia.
James Finch and John Stuart were quickly arrested but loudly protested their innocence. They campaigned in jail and even resorted to self mutilation. Stuart staged a rooftop protest at Boggo road and Finch hacked off a finger.
In 1979, John Stuart was found dead in his cell. Controversy raged over his death, with accusations that prison officers had been involved. Amidst allegations of verballing at the Fitzgerald Inquiry in 1988, Finch was paroled on the condition that he return to England. This story ended with a twist, the surprising confession by Finch that he had committed the crime. This would have come as a blow to Finchs supporters who were convinced of his innocence.

Tom Cruise's fat-suit fracasBy Courtney Hazlett
Just as the weekly celebrity magazines were rushing off to print last Friday, Nov. 16, many editors received letters from Cruise's lawyer, which threatened legal action if the photos of Cruise, snapped on the set of Ben Stiller's new film "Tropic Thunder," were used.
The portly pics were traced back to photo agency INF, who also then sent a letter to magazines saying,
"The pictures, which were shot by an INF staff photographer, show Cruise in a fat suit and chest wig on the set of Tropic Thunder. … While these
pictures were taken without breaking any criminal or civil laws, we have decided to pull them from circulation effective immediately."
"It was crazy," an editor at one of the celeb weeklies told me. "We had at least four
calls from publicists and two legal letters on Friday. All they did was draw more attention to the picture."
Just why was the Cruise camp so irate about the pics? Some say that it's because "Tropic Thunder" is not part of Cruise's own production company, United Artists, so he didn't want it getting around that he was appearing in "Tropic."
"He could have gotten away with very few people knowing about his cameo until the movie came out," points out one person familiar with the fracas. "Now he's going to have to answer questions." For the record, Cruise's rep tells me, "Tom's involvement with United Artists does not prohibit him from acting in non-United Artists projects."
There's also this to consider: Cruise rarely does cameos, and Stiller is a friend of his. Could this just be a a case of a paparazzo spoiling some fun and ruining a surprise? It sure wouldn't be a first.

Well, I think the "philosophy" is to return an expression of the form Positive[x] unevaluated so that it can later return a value when x is assigned a value. I.e.
Positive[x] /. x -> 2
But obviously this makes no sense in this case of I since you can't =
assign values to I and even:
Unevaluated[Positive[I]] /. I -> 2
So the answer, in my opinion, is that, wether logically justified or =
not, returning Positive[I] unevaluated would have no practical use =
hence it is not done.

Johnny Depp Premiere's "The Lone Ranger" in Berlin
Giving his German fans an extra-special thrill, Johnny Depp showed up at the Berlin premiere of his new film "The Lone Ranger" on Friday night (July 19).
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star wore a grey pinstripe suit and black button-up shirt as he chatted with member of the local press outside the Sony Centre prior to the screening.
In a recent interview, Johnny talked about his split with longtime partner Vanessa Paradis, as well as his concern for the well-being of their two children.
"At times, [it was] certainly unpleasant, but that's the nature of breakups, I guess, especially when there are kiddies involved. It doesn't stop the fact that you care for that person, and they're the mother of your kids. You'll always know each other, and you're always gonna be in each other's lives because of those kids. You might as well make the best of it."

This is a discussion on Using an Outhouse in Bear Country within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I spent some time in bear country and I carried my can of bear spray with me to the outhouse....
I spent some time in bear country and I carried my can of bear spray with me to the outhouse.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
I can't think of a thing to add. I have gotten many laughs off the ones here now. Plus I learned that using a outhouse around polar bears can be fatal. I don't know how that will come in handy here in Missouri, but it is always good to know.

"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013

Reminds me of back in the 80s, I met my friend's uncle who went all outback Alaska, hunting guide, gold miner, bush pilot... He was discussing his guns and what purpose he used each for. He mentioned that he always carried a 8" Ruger Blackhawk every where, even to the outhouse. We impressionable teens said of course 'that is to protect you from bears'. His reply "Hell no. I'm in Kodiak country. This popgun would only piss those bears off. It is in case I cannot run back to the cabin I can put the barrel in my mouth, pull the trigger and make things easier for me and the bear."
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
-Ben Franklin
I never go out in the woods without being armed sufficient for bear. He should have done the same. Fortunately, a friend was armed and dispatched the critter.
Owner, Bear River Holsters.
The bears at a good friends hunting cabin are a little too friendly...
Far too often we've had someone stroll outside to release a beer back into the wild and find a good sized black bear hanging out by the crapper (or whatever convenient bush the poor guys were planning on using).
I've taken to carrying my 6" S&W .41 mag and a good flashlight while outside at camp.
At least this answers the age old question..."Does a bear crap in the woods?"
Apparently they prefer outhouses, and are not at all patient about waiting their turn.
Too bad it wasn't a two-holer, that would be one Canadian with a good story to tell.
"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it".
Thomas Jefferson
Kind of makes me wonder what he took to the outhouse with him? Did he plan on being here a while and pack a lunch? Every time I have come on a bear the last thing they wanted was anything to do with people and they beat feet into the woods, I have several pictures of trees with the occasional bear butt trying to get pictures of them. Maybe Canadian black bears are braver than WI black bears.
I close the door in my house! Guess he learned a good lesson about leaving the door ajar!

Latest Q&A
Who has custody of this dog?Q:
My fiance and I broke up about a month ago. Two years ago I bought a dog from the shelter and got her micro chipped. She is still registered to my address and my name but she has been living at his parents house. She still comes over to visits. I bought her dog bed, toys, she eats food over here and over there. Both parties have receipts. My ex is claiming that the dog belongs to him since his parents have paid for the vet bills. I never asked them to take her to the vet nor did they ever discuss these vet visits with me. I personally do not like my dogs to go to the vet that often. I have a golden retriever who goes yearly. Who has custody of the dog? I want her back. He's never at home even after work hours and his parents expressed they never wanted a dog in the first place. I just want her to come home.A:
In pet custody disputes, 'ownership' of the animal is often not 100% clear. Each situation comes with its own set of facts. When an individual purchases or adopts an animal prior to marriage, that animal generally 'belongs' to the purchaser/adopter. However, actions subsequent to the purchase/adoption could change who 'owns' the animal. For example, if the purchaser/adopter sells, gives away, or adopts the animal to another person, that animal would normally no longer 'belong' to the original purchaser or adopter. If the actions of the original adopter or purchaser implied that the animal was given away or abandoned that too could cause a court to determine that the original purchaser/adopter no longer 'owns' the animal. When these disputes cannot be resolved amicably, lawsuits are sometimes commenced for the return of an animal.

Kanab » Escorted by a fleet of police vehicles with lights flashing and sirens wailing, 38 high-performance vehicles rolled into Kanab this week and the drivers had lunch and left the town richer by $4,000.
The Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Porsches, Ford GTs and Ferraris belonged to members of Utah Fast Pass (www.fastpass.org), a nonprofit organization that every year visits a Utah town, leaving behind a charitable donation.
The group's chairman, Tom Mabey, said since its start four years ago, the group has donated $650,000 to communities for scholarships and public safety agencies. It is also a major contributor to the Utah Highway Patrol's Honoring Heroes Foundation that helps support families of fallen or injured troopers.
Mabey said this year's tour began Monday at the Larry H. Miller Motorsport Park in Tooele, where car owners had a chance to see what their cars could do on the track. On Tuesday, the group, escorted by UHP troopers, stopped for the night in southern Utah's Bryce Canyon City.
After leaving Kanab, the group drove through Zion National Park and back to Bryce City for the night. The caravan planned to return to Salt Lake City on Thursday for a gala that includes silent and live auctions.
"This [tour] gives us a chance to see the countryside and meet the people in different communities," said Mabey, who passed out Fast Pass pins to those who came to see the cars parked on a closed section of Kanab's Main Street.
Mabey said the tour attracts exotic sports cars from around the country. The entry fee is $6,000.
"We're looking for unique cars, many limited editions old and new, and hope for as much diversity as we can."
One of the participants was Richard Losee, who was behind the wheel of a cream-colored 1956 Mercedes 300S Gullwing. During the tour in 2006, Losee, of Provo Canyon, was seriously injured when he crashed his million-dollar, limited edition 2003 Ferrari Enzo north of Milford on SR 257.
The accident demolished the car and left Losee with a fractured sternum, vertebrae, ribs and a concussion, but didn't stop him from participating.
"I've supported every [tour] since," said Losee. "It is a great cause, plus all of Utah is so beautiful with so many different landscapes. It's a great day."
He said the wrecked Ferrari is nearly rebuilt, with help from the carmaker.
UHP Capt. Doug McCleave, who was traveling with the group in his patrol car, praised tour members for their generosity.
"They are an incredible group of people," he said. "Their hearts are pure when it comes to this event. They really help rural Utah."

Oct. 15, 2012
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - After a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, the fifth longest in school history, junior wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson has been named one of the Southeastern Conference's Special Teams Players of the Week Monday.
Patterson tallied 195 all-purpose yards, aided by his 98 yard return, tying his career best (195) set against Georgia State earlier this season. Patterson finished 57 yards rushing, 25 receiving and 113 kickoff return yards.
The return was the first conventional kick return for a TD since 2002. The last Vol to return a conventional KO for a TD was Mark Jones against Alabama on Oct. 26, 2002. Bret Smith returned an onside kick 44 yards for a TD at South Carolina on Oct. 30, 2004.
Patterson's return ties for the fifth longest in school history and is the longest since Leonard Scott returned one 100 yards against Georgia on Oct. 9, 1999.
The 98-yard return was Tennessee's longest play this season, surpassing a 72-yard reception by Zach Rogers against NC State on Aug. 31. Patterson's longest play had been a 67-yard touchdown carry against the Wolfpack.
Patterson now has six touchdowns this season. Two rushing, three receiving and the kickoff return.
In addition to the SEC honors, Patterson was also named the College Football Performance Awards National Kickoff Returner of the Week for his achievements.
A.J. Johnson, who finished the game with 21 tackles against Mississippi State was also honored by the CFPA as an Honorable Mention Linebacker of the Week.
Johnson became the first Vol with 20 or more tackles since Keith DeLong had 23 tackles at Alabama on Oct. 15, 1988. While his 17 assisted tackles set a new school record, besting the old record of 13 held by four different Vols, the last being Lavoisier Fisher at Auburn on Sept. 29, 1984.
His 21 tackles against Misssissippi State were eight more than his previous career high of 13 set against Alabama in 2011 and marked his seventh career game of double digit tackles. He has now recorded 10 or more tackles in each of the last four games.

As children, didn't we all wish we had an egg collection, as anything that spends time in a nest must be a touch magical. With these delicate glass eggs, you don't have to feel sad or squeamish about stealing them from a nest.
Perfect for the Christmas tree, but I would also leave them out all year round, whether hanging or gently laid in a display drawer.
Please note that each egg is unique and will have slight variations to those pictured.

Outdoor Christmas figures have long since been the all-time favorites of children over the past few holiday seasons. These Christmas figures are usually created out of natural materials while there are some that are customized by the children of the house using common household materials. But the rise in popularity of full-sized animated mechanical Christmas figures is becoming more prevalent throughout the world, especially with the advent of modern technology.
Small indoor christmas figures
These full-sized outdoor animated Christmas figures of Santa Claus and various characters from the most popular Christmas legends and stories come complete with blinking Christmas lights. There are even some that have built-in audio output devices which produce synthesized Christmas melodies and Christmas greetings in the voices of Santa Claus, the Snowman, and Santa's Little Helper that is well known by kids and adults alike due to the movies and stories about these popular Christmas characters.
Most Christian families, on the other hand, usually furnish their front yards with animated mechanical Christmas figures of the cast of the Nativity scene as stated by the Holy Bible. This includes the Holy Family, the singing angels, the Star of Bethlehem, the people who praise the infant Jesus, and the barn animals that were in the manger at the time of Jesus' birth.
Though these full-sized animated outdoor Xmas figures are expensive, you can save money on your purchases of such holiday items by shopping for the full-sized animated mechanical outdoor Xmas figures during non-holiday seasons. This is because most shops that sell these modern Christmas decors usually offer good discounts on purchases made during non-holiday seasons.
You should also ask advice from electrical technicians regarding the safest possible means for you to install such animated mechanical outdoor Xmas figures on your front yard. You can even hire an electrical technician for the task of installing all the wires needed for your outdoor Christmas decor.

David Humenczuk - Xtreme Karen Refugee Hike Day 2
Happy Birthday Marie! (and America)
We awoke this morning from Holiday Inn Xpress (Thailand), it's just a short fall out of bed to work and has such amenities as mud baths, leech therapy, and an excellent view from the penthouse suite. In all actuality the guides and us guys were packed in our hut tighter than the sardines that we had for dinner the night before. There was no room to set-up bug nets, but no worry because all the smoke from the cooking fires below was enough to stop any from coming in, as well as stop our breathing and severely burn our eyes. The girls came up to join us for a freshly prepared meal of rice and more sardines, but they seemed a bit disgusted and would not talk to us (except to say happy birthday to me). I think they were mad because we had not had it delivered it to them in bed like the night before. You are welcome!
We started our hike out across the fields of rice where we had stayed and promptly started going straight up. The weather was cool and wet, we were inside a cloud. Soon we got to the top, but couldn't see beyond the fog. We were not looking up anyway with every step someone was pulling another leech off. I love hiking and really don't mind the hot, the humid, the rain, or the mud, but the leeches really suck! We then started the last six hours, which was all downhill, but at times steep and slippery. There were a lot of bumps and bruises along the way, but thankfully no serious injuries. These days of hiking are to help show us a little of what the karen refugees might have to go through after they are forced to flee from the Burmese army. Emotions and injuries ran high just from the stress of walking on trails and roads in the day time when there is no army after us. It is scary to imagine what it would be like if it was the real thing. We had a time clock,we knew that we were only going to be "gone" for a couple days. The Karen refugees do not know how long they are going to be "gone" for or if they will ever be able to return home.
A quick drive from the village where we ended our hike and we arrived at our second refugee camp. We are going to be allowed to stay within the gates, but have to stay at the bible school across the river in the "unofficial" zone. After dinner we met with the founder of the bible school Dr. Saw Simon, who gave us some more history on the refugee situation.
