Thanks to a productive summer, Bridgette Kelly went from a backup point guard to one of the state's top 3-point shooters.
The 5-foot-6 Chestatee senior spent hours on end in the gym, perfecting her shot from the perimeter in anticipation of the 2013-2014 season. With the Lady War Eagles returning a smaller lineup without a true center, Kelly prepared for a team that relied on superior long-range shooting to win games.
"We would come in the gym in the morning and shoot off the gun," Kelly said. "Just shooting off the hop and having that same muscle memory over and over again. All we really did was shoot a lot at practice this year, and it really worked for me."
It worked for everyone on the team, in fact. A team-best 24 wins later, with a Region 8-AAAA championship at hand, Kelly's 75 3-pointers led Class AAAA and the Lady War Eagles finished as the state's highest-scoring team from the arc.
For her efforts, Kelly is The Times' Girls Basketball Player of the Year.
"I was never expecting to make as many threes as I did," Kelly said. "It was just a really good year for me."
In her first year as a shooting guard, Kelly finished the season with 17 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, helping Chestatee not only claim its highest win total but also the team's first region title. Though traditionally one of the area's better girls basketball teams, a region title had evaded the Lady War Eagles until this year.
Still, Chestatee's run to a region title came as a bit of a surprise to opponents, considering the massive turnover from the 2012-2013 team and the Lady War Eagles' lack of size. They were the smallest team in Region 8-AAAA, and didn't have someone big enough to play at the post.
So Chestatee coach Web Daniel turned to the perimeter for scoring opportunities. Kelly, the only player who averaged any points from the previous season, became the team's go-to shooter.
"She worked hard over the summer and she could knock down shots," Daniel said. "She was outstanding. I did not know how good she was going to be this year."
Kelly helped the Lady War Eagles make a smooth transition from their traditional, post-heavy style of play to a dynamic shooting team. Previous Chestatee teams usually featured an imposing center, including Maegan Kenimer (now at Brenau University) and her predecessor, Peyton Robertson (now at Young Harris).
This season, Chestatee had no players more than six feet tall, so Daniel made sure his team was prepared to take a lot of shots from outside.
No one benefited from that change quite like Kelly did.
"She basically became our person on the court that kept everything going," Daniel said. "She was able to drive to the basket when we needed her to, knock down shots, rebound the basketball and pass the ball well. There's not one aspect of the game she doesn't do well."
At times, Kelly was nearly unstoppable. She drained five or more 3-pointers on six different occasions, including a season-best six in a 61-60 double-overtime win over Gilmer on Jan. 25.
That game saw Kelly score 33 points, tying her career best, as Chestatee overcame an early deficit to beat a tough Gilmer team in its own gym.
"We kept turning the ball over," Kelly said. "Finally we just put our head on straight and said, 'we're not losing this game.' It wasn't a region game, and I think that was in our head. It was like the game didn't matter. But it mattered because we wanted to win, and we hated losing."
The Lady War Eagles went 6-2 the rest of the season, winning a region title in the process. Despite battling an ankle injury late in the season, Kelly didn't miss a single game and even scored 18 points with five 3-pointers in Chestatee's loss to Grady in the state playoffs.
According to Daniel, she was playing at only "50 percent" in the playoff game.
"She didn't want to go out, despite not being 100 percent," Daniel said. "The other team knew she was hurt, and she still had 18 points and five 3-pointers. If we had a healthy Bridgette Kelly, we still may not have won the ball game, but she would've been able to get to the basket more."
Kelly's versatility allowed Daniel to construct a game plan that lured the defense out to the perimeter, leaving the inside exposed.
She had the ability to drive effectively to the basket and make layups with ease, undefended. If she drew the defense back to the paint, she could kick the ball back out to Deanna Bradberry, Savanna Long or Kayla Watson, all of whom were also effective 3-point shooters.
"People had to decide to stay in and give up a 3-point shot or stay out," Daniel said. "We put them in a dilemma and a choice they had to make. That's how our whole game plan worked — make them have to make a choice."
Chestatee used that strategy to enjoy a historic season for the program, and a college team will likely do the same in the coming years. Kelly is weighing a pair of offers from LaGrange College and Truett-McConnell College, but hasn't made a commitment decision.
No matter what she decides, a new uniform in the college ranks won't make Kelly forget the gym where she perfected her craft from the 3-point line.
"From me being a freshman coming into this program, it was life, basically," Kelly said. "That's what we lived for — basketball.
"Knowing that you're playing for that name on your jersey, and for a coach that loves you so much, and knowing your teammates are your best friends, we always had the time of our lives out there."

guide to military history on the Internet
Simon Fowler is editor of the excellent National Archives magazine, "Ancestors" and among other works is author of "Tracing your army ancestors"
a guide to content on the Internet is a thankless
task and I am
not sure why anyone would bother. I can only
imagine that book publishers find it a profitable
When the average life of a website is figured
in days, when content comes and goes or is
moved, a directory of websites is inevitably
obsolete before the last full stop is typed.
The major search engine businesses invest huge
sums of money in the technology to keep up
with it all. What chance does a book have?
The better sites tend to remain longer. For example, the Long, Long Trail and Tom Morgan's "Hellfire Corner" have been around for more than a decade. It is this more enduring, quality content that the author of "A guide to military history on the Internet" sought to present.
The scope of coverage is enormous, taking in all wars and military activity from 1066 to around 1998. There is a decidedly British and English language slant to the selection, although many sites authored elsewhere are mentioned. Not surprisingly, there is a considerable focus on the two World Wars. There is no doubt that the author had searched many nooks and crannies of the world wide web and certainly there are dozens, hundreds perhaps, of websites mentioned that I had never heard of. Then again, I tend not to spend much time searching outside WW1. If I really did need information on the Wars of the Roses or the English Civil War or what happened to the Zulus in 1879, five minutes Googling would have found it. Fifteen seconds on a site gives me enough to tell me whether there is content worth believing and using. I simply cannot imagine I would have looked the sites up in a printed directory. Perhaps those new to the Internet would have - but it must be a very untutored web user who needs to be shown the way to Google, MSN and some of the general search engines and encyclopedias that are listed. I must say that I found this, plus the tips on how to start your own website and how to buy books over the Internet, to deflect from the stated intention of the work and reduce its overall value.
Taking WW1 as an area of focus, relevant websites appear in a number of sections: researching individuals, war memorials and rolls of honour, military museums and a 16-page section on the war itself. None of the sites I use frequently were missing and to a large extent I agree with the author's often candid views on their design or content.
The author selects a personal "Top Ten" in a closing chapter. The list is led by Wikipedia, which I find completely unreliable as a source of information and doubt it would figure in my top 100. It just goes to show how personal taste and the purposes for which an individual uses the Internet can affect views about the beauty and utility of any given site. Summing up, this is as thorough and up to date a work as you are likely to find. Considering the scope of coverage, it does a fine job of uncovering the key websites. It is very nicely and professionally produced and even at an undiscounted cover price of £9.99 is good value. I just don't see that I would find much use for it myself.
Walking Arras
Paul Reed is also author of "Walking the Somme".
is a curiously neglected battle in many ways, not
least its coverage as a battlefield to visit. It
is not unlike Ypres in that it has a charming and
historic town, behind British lines, with plenty
of museums, things to see and places to eat and stay.
There are dozens of cemeteries, memorials and places
of interest on the battlefield too. Arras
sits midway between the vitally important location
of Vimy Ridge and the Somme battlefield yet somehow
does not grab the imagination in quite the same way
as either of those areas.
This may be because the battlefield area is not as pretty and uplifting as the Somme, not as packed with "something historic at every bend in the road" as Ypres. Indeed, the outskirts of Arras town include some of what might be classed as the ugliest housing in Europe and a great part of the front line of April 1917 now lies below the tons of concrete forming the industrial estates built around the town. Some important WW1 craters are used as a rubbish dump by the local people. The Paris motorway and the TGV du Nord track cut right through the Arras battlefield too.
But for all that there are areas that are good walking country, with sweeping views across the valley of the River Scarpe and across the undulating ridges that were the epicentres of fighting in the spring of 1917.
Paul Reed's "Walking the Somme" is quite rightly a best seller in its class, opening up a new way of looking at that battlefield and exposing many new sites to the casual visitor. He had a much tougher job in tackling Arras and I am glad to say does not let us down.The Battleground Europe format will be familiar to many. A pocket sized softback, containing a number of guided walks that take in WW1 sites and provide some historical background to what can be seen.
Paul's walks take us first to Vimy Ridge (which is also covered in at least two other Battleground Europe guides), then cover in detail the area covered by the attack of 9 April 1917 . We are then taken to walks around Roeux and Bullecourt. The walks are well planned and the supporting information excellent.It is notable that the key points along the walks are the military cemeteries. There appears to be much more of this book devoted to descriptions of the cemeteries than I remember from similar works. I can understand this. Arras was a murderous battle with very heavy casualty rates and in general the area has many more smaller, battlefield, cemeteries than large post-war concentration plots. It is something that makes this battlefield distinctive, if the countryside and general atmosphere of the area is not perhaps one that would attract any but the most ardent battlefield visitor.All in all this is a good, reliable guide to the area and if it helps a few more stop and look around instead of whizzing past on their way between Ypres and the Somme, then a good job done.
|Zeebrugge & Ostend raids
by Stephen McGreal
published by Pen & Sword in the Battleground Europe series, 2008
cover price - £12.99
softback, 172pp plus index. Profusely illustrated.
reviewed by the author of The Long, Long Trail, Chris Baker
Stephen McGreal's task in compiling a battlefield tour guide to the sites of the famous amphibious raids at Zeebrugge and Ostend is made no easier by the fact that very little now exists of the port facilities that were under German occupation in 1918. Zeebrugge has expanded into one of the busiest container ports of northern Europe, while Ostend is a bustling commercial and tourist resort. Both seem at times to be constant building sites. It is much to the author's credit that he has managed to produce an entertaining and worthwhile book that will have many a battlefield tourist walking the concrete wharfs and paths, trying in their imagination to piece together two stirring events. It was perhaps after the U-boat threat - having come so close to crippling British supply lines in the Atlantic - had already been overcome that it was decided to block the submarine bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend.
McGreal's work tells the story in great detail, drawing upon contemporary sources and published histories in order to do so. We meet many of the officers and men who undertook these hazardous operations and get a good feeling for what happened, placed into context on the ground by some good descriptions and maps. This is not like walking the battlefields of the Somme or Ypres. You are not in fields and woods, with cemeteries and memorials at every turn: the places of memory here are relatively few and surrounded by modern industrial and commercial development. Nonetheless, the depiction of the strength of the German batteries and defence works, and the shot and shell as the naval raids went in, helps the visitor to see past the seafront hotels and supermarkets. The author brings us the many stories of the Victoria Crosses and fates of men and ships, and a good read it is too.
As a handy starter to these actions, it can hardly be faulted. For the regular battlefield tourist looking for something new on the way to or back from the Western Front, "Zeebrugge & Ostend raids" is an excellent addition to the itinerary.

Pray for Patti and Tim Long helping equip present and future leaders in Mexico.July 12, 2011
The Long Family
They write: It's the last week of classes here in the northwest corner of Mexico. For both us, whether it is Tim's ministry in equipping of church leaders through the Mexicali Baptist Seminary, or Patti's ministry with special needs children and their families through the grade school at Monte Horeb Church in Tijuana, this week marks perhaps the most important week of the year. On Friday, July 1, both the Seminary and the Grade School will celebrate another successful year with special worship and graduation ceremonies.
The summer months of July and August will also keep us busy with four weeks of summer school in Tijuana and weekly pastoral continuing education in Mexicali. Then, come September we begin our year of US Assignment -- a special year that we missionaries spend every four or five years visiting supporting churches in the United States. Our home base will continue to be from Chula Vista, California, just south of San Diego but our ministry location will be to points north rather than points south.
At this point Tim has four ten day trips planned for September through December. In September he will be in Indiana/Ohio, October in Michigan, November in New York and Pennsylvania and in December he will be visiting churches in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. During the course of the twelve months of U.S. Assignment, we hope to visit most of the churches that support our Mexican ministry as well as any others that are interested in partnering with us.
We are most grateful for your prayer support and especially so at this transition time in our ministry.
- Pray for Patti and Tim as they minister is so many diverse ways in Tijuana, Mexico.
- Pray for the children, parents and staff of the Mount Horeb Baptist Grade School in Tijuana.

I only play a certain way since any other way is boring and button mashing. If you come in my room here are the rules.
Game type:
Team Battle: No guards
1. As soon as the game starts me and my partner will go to opposite of the ends of each other on the map.
2. We expect you and your partner to choose which one of us you will fight in 1 vs 1 battle.
3. These fights continue until there is a winner. We fight in a general area. Dodging and backing up for dash moves or allowed but running away is discouraged.
4. Once one battle ends the winner of the battle goes to observe the battle that is currently taking place but does not interfere.
5. If the winner is the opposite teams member the winner gives him some time to get ready to fight (like 9-10 secs) before engaging in the final battle.
We do not double team. Failure to adhere to these rules result in a kick.
have fun.

BBC News
Next Tuesday sees the long awaited release of the novel Doctor Sleep, Stephen King's decades-later sequel to The Shining. In advance of the release, King admits that he's a bit nervous about how his fans will receive it.
In an interview with BBC News, the master of written horror opened up about how he's feeling at the moment, expressing that while he knows he's a better writer than he was when he wrote The Shining, he fears that nobody is going to do anything but compare this novel to that one. "You are faced with that comparison, and that has got to make you nervous," he said, "because there is a lot of water under the bridge. I'm a different man."
He also admits to checking literary websites of late to see what people are saying in anticipation of the release, the majority of readers feeling that there's no way it'll be as good. "I am obviously an optimist, and I want them to say when they get done with it that it was as good," said King. "But what I really want them to say is that it is better than The Shining."
King went on to talk further about the expectations readers will have going into the book, acknowledging the fact that he knows it's not as easy to scare us as it was back in 1977, but expressing confidence in his ability to still be able to do so. "What I want the audience to do is to fall in love with these people and really to care about them, and that creates the suspense that you need," King said. "Love creates horror."
As for why he decided to bring Danny Torrance back into his life, and ours, he says that came from people asking him over and over again about the fate of the character. So whatever did happen to "that kid from The Shining"? We'll find out on September 24th!
Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America a tribe of people called "The True Knot" travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the "steam" that children with the "shining" produce when they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant "shining" power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes "Doctor Sleep."
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted readers of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Amps and Cabs [BG]' started by wilfred, Oct 31, 2012.
Let's see your at home practice rigs.
Mine is a Behringer ULTRABASS BXL450...
Not actually at home in this pic, but I do use it at home...Ampeg BA108:
It's so sad. This poor, forgotten pair has been relegated to being the official 'bedroom practice amp'. You can almost feel their pain.
My modded Epi Valve Jr. and Peavey BW 15. 5 watts of pure tube goodness.
I plug into my stereo system, sounds 100 times better than my bass amp. I just wish it was loud and under 200lbs.
What i used to have a epi valve jr head, what mods need to be done to play bass through it?
DIY Tube and SS preamps, 1000 watt IcePower plate amp
Thunderchild 112AF cab
I have smaller SS amps, but I always end up using one of these:
Plenty for the bedroom...
Micro-VR / Carvin 973. Mmmm.
The only thing I use for home practice is a Tascam GB-10 Guitar and Bass Trainer. My wife has to be at work at 5 A.M. so she goes to bed around 8 P.M. The GB-10 lets me play through headphones without disturbing her.
Stage rig is on the right.
Furman PL8 Power Conditioner
Sennheiser Wireless
2 SVT 410HE cabs
That head, 'cause it couldn't handle cold-trailer-to-warm-room gigs (rack has been disassembled) and cabs pictured (depending on what I feel like using at the moment) because they're too big for the small rooms typically played.
yes, it is a bass amp and a bass cab
If it is a V2 or V3 all you have to do is change out the tubes and put in a much bigger transformer (you can see it in the photo). The Hammond 125ESE works great.
ok ...
Hartke HA4000 amp loaded into an old Carvin Redline cab ... sounds great !!
Either this...
Or this...
Standel Artist 15...my only SS amp.

Sea Wolf - Leaves In The River
It doesn't take much effort to get lost in the lyrics, whether he's singing about love or hermetic forest dwelling alcoholics - it's all listenable, involving and richly descriptive.Read more on Sea Wolf Listen to Sea Wolf on Spotify
'Leaves On The River' is the latest work from singer-songwriter Alex Brown Church's group Sea Wolf and it's all set for its barely anticipated UK release right about now! But just because nobody cares doesn't mean they shouldn't, and this tasty little ten track treat is testament to that if ever it was needed. Ostensibly a wistful, thoughtful, intelligent new wave singer along the lines of Micha P Hinson and Willie Mason, Church brings a depth to the vocals that is relatively uncommon on either side of the Atlantic. It doesn't take much effort to get lost in his lyrics, whether he's singing about love or hermetic forest dwelling alcoholics - it's all listenable, involving and richly descriptive.
Normally a vocalist this talented can quite easily carry a more mediocre band, but in this instance Church seems to have everything ticking along nicely. It is instrumentally accomplished but understated, which is essentially what is needed for both frontman and band to flourish side by side.
Track-wise there is little to criticise other than a slight lack of urgency on occasion. Sea Wolf could very well hit it big with meatier more muscular moments, but they don't, and as a result they may miss the marketable mainstream boat that equally esoteric peers have managed to set sail in over the past few years. What there is and what they do is, as you may have guessed by now, pretty accomplished. 'Black Dirt' is a real beast of a track and the absolute standout. Rhythmic, swooning, quirky and effortlessly addictive and exactly the sort of track Arcade Fire would be proud to have recorded. Likewise the all too quickly reached final track 'Neutral Ground' could sit happily alongside any other tunefully thoughtful indie ballad of the past eight years. The weird 'You're A Wolf' and the almost Guided By Voices-esque 'The Rose Captain' are also worthy of mention as being worth an iTunes purchase if you need further evidence before an album purchase.
It's a relatively raunchy record and suggests that Church and co could be the next big thing in intelligent alternative indie music. Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and The Decemberists all better watch their backs.

The law isn't always based on science, because the issues are social. Our constitution isn't concerned when life begins; it is concerned with the rights of born or naturalized citizens--something a fetus is not. Pregnant women ARE, and therefore their rights take precedent over all other concerns.
<quoted text>
The only true and exact scientific measurement of life beginning is at conception. Otherwise any other point is just conjecture not based on real science.
If law wnats to go around science it will. It has throughout man's history.
That being said, all th epagan proabortion nonsense can't escape the inevitible truth that the only definitive point of origin of a new human life is in fact the moment of conception.
Yabber and blather all you want but you know that to be true.

Information for:
You Asked For It! DVD Collection Moves to Second Floor
You asked and we answered! In response to user requests, the Library has relocated its extensive DVD collection to the second floor of Lauinger Library outside the Midnight Mug. This move makes the collection, previously stored in the Gelardin New Media Center, easily browsable for the first time ever.
Feature films are shelved first by language and then in alphabetical order for easy perusing. Nonfiction titles are organized by Library of Congress classification just like books so that films of the same subject are shelved together. New titles will be prominently displayed next to the staff elevator outside the Midnight Mug.
In order to check out a DVD, bring the empty DVD case from the shelf to the Circulation Desk on the third floor to pick up the disc. Note that films on reserve for courses will be available from the Circulation Desk, not shelved on the second floor.
Music CDs can be requested at the Circulation Desk as well.

text: Morning! Anyone making their way to any of the three locations in Sin City to purchase an iPad 3G today? I'm strongly leaning towards Town Square as the Fashion Show and Forum Shops locations are so much more difficult to get to. Current plan consists of a fully-charged MacBook Pro and iPhone so I can leave work at 1 and still get most of the day's tasks accomplished. Head towards the Town Square store (a >15 drive from my office) and hunker down among whoever is already there. Anybody else making the trek?

Nov. 3, 2011
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's basketball team held its last practice prior to the start of the 2011-12 season on Thursday (Nov. 3) inside Crisler Arena, followed by a media roundtable with coach John Beilein and a few players.
The Wolverines will tip off the season with an exhibition contest against Wayne State on Friday (Nov. 4) at 7 p.m. in front of their home crowd. The game will be shown on BTN.com (subscription required).
This week, the team got the opportunity to move into their new home, the Player Development Center. There is a lot of excitement surrounding the entire program with the new facility and the start of the new season inside the newly renovated Crisler Arena.
Here's what Coach Beilein and some of the players had to say in anticipation to the start of the season.
U-M Head Coach John Beilein
Opening statement ... "I was speaking with someone this week about getting ready for the season. I can remember the days where there were like five weeks at a time -- you didn't play until Thanksgiving -- and you started October 15. Now you're talking about two weeks of playing at least an exhibition game. Now we're as ready as we can be, but I don't feel that we have so many things that we have to do. Our veterans have been very good at teaching and helping. But then there's a lot they have to recall, and they have to execute properly. We've had good practices and we had a good scrimmage. We're making progress but it's never as fast as I'd like it to be."
On the point guard position ... "I think we had 11 or 12 assists out of the two of them, between Stu (Douglass) and Trey (Burke) the other day, so that was good. They're learning every single day, but Trey so far has shown some really progressive steps because it's so natural to him. Those two are the ones who will have the ball most of the time."
On what freshmen must do to earn playing time ... "I just think that they must show they're moving in the right direction while they're not impeding the team's progress. They're all going to move at different speeds. So far, Trey has moved at a very comfortable speed and has helped the team grow. It's sometimes atypical for a freshman to do that, just like Tim (Hardaway Jr.) was last year a little bit."
On what he would like to see against Wayne State ... "I'd like to see us defend really well so that we can run the floor. All teams need to get easy baskets to win. One way to get easier baskets is to fast break. The only way we can fast break is -- you've all heard me say one hundred times -- you have to get the ball on the 25- or 35-yard line. You can't get it on the goal line. We have to defend, clean rebound and outlet. We've got to defend, turnover and run."
On what impressed him the most about the scrimmage this past week ... "There were times when a veteran group was out there and they looked like a veteran group. There were other times that they had a few turnovers -- those old 'what were you thinking' moments. But there were some times where you could tell that they had some confidence in the strength of playing together."
On not buying into hype ... "We don't want to kill the confidence, we love the confidence. But I've had several teams over the years with similar expectations and usually there are points in that season that are very difficult. They have to bounce back out of it. We're prepping with them and saying that this is no different than it's ever been here. We have chips on our shoulders. We are trying to prove that we are around to stay, and it's going to be a battle."
U-M Senior Stu Douglass
On his favorite part of the new practice facility ... "There are a bunch of things, collectively. Having our own players' space is great. In the old locker room, we had film in there and coaches were in there. Now it's kind of our own little space and now we can go up and have our own film room, instead of having everything combined. It's nice to have the separation a little bit, even though it's still a family atmosphere here."
On what makes this team special ... "I think that we adapt to whatever situation we need. We can reevaluate our goals in the middle of the season and adapt how we need to play -- adapt roles for different guys that might change during the year. I know specifically for myself last year, my defensive role changed a lot in the middle of the Big Ten season. We started to roll when I could relieve Darius (Morris) from some of those defensive duties and open him up more on the offensive end. Top to bottom that's been happening."
On what it's going to be like running out of the new Blavin Tunnel in front of a home crowd ... "It's going to be crazy. They're talking about how everyone is going to be waiting for us. It's going to be very exciting. It's something we've waited for for a long time to get in here. To finally get to experience that and get the season underway, I can't really describe it."
U-M Sophomore Evan Smotrycz
On the team settling into the new PDC ... "It's been pretty unreal. Even though a lot of it isn't done yet, this is just a place where I'll come to practice an extra half hour early just to hang out in here. There is a lot of cool stuff. I just love being in the locker room; there's just something about being in a new place that's brand new."
On his favorite and most challenging part of preseason ... "Probably my favorite part is just being back together as team, rather than everyone doing their own thing in the summer. My favorite part is just doing more team things together -- seeing movies together, having dinner together. My least favorite would have to be the running. I think if you ask anybody they'll say that, but it's good for us and gets us ready for a tough November."
On having a different mentality going into this season ... "I think this year it's more executing the stuff I was learning last year with enthusiasm. Just playing every play hard since I don't have to think about what I'm doing. I know what I have to do, I just have to play every play hard and take no plays off."
U-M Sophomore Jon Horford
On whether or not his mentality has changed in his second year ... "My mentality is going to be similar to what it was last year. I'm just going to go in and do the best I can and let things work themselves out. As long as I play hard and play for the team, I just feel that everything will work out in the end."
On his favorite and most challenging part of preseason ... "My favorite part of preseason is just hanging out with the guys and playing ball with the guys and competing. We have a lot of fun as a team. We get along and there aren't separate groups among us -- it's just like a real team. The most challenging part is probably getting up in the morning -- just getting up for those early lifts right before class."
On running out of the new Blavin Tunnel into Crisler Arena for the first time ..."I'm really excited to run out of the tunnel for the first time into the new arena. Everyone is really excited about the season -- players, coaches, fans and all. I think it's going to be a real cool experience."

Sapphire Launches Factory Overclocked R9 295X2 OC Graphics Card
Subject: General Tech | May 1, 2014 - 10:57 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: sapphire, factory overclocked, r9 295x2, 4k, gaming, hawaii, dual gpu
Early last month, AMD launched a new flagship dual GPU graphics card called the Radeon R9 295X2. This new card features two Hawaii-based GPUs paired with 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Since the launch, several partners have come forward with reference cards of their own. One piece of the "world's fastest graphics card" puzzle that has been missing, until now, is a vendor daring enough to take the beastly R9 295X2 and push it even further by offering up a factory overclocked edition. It looks like Sapphire is the first to attempt such a feat by offering up the factory overclocked Sapphire R9 295X2 OC.
The upcoming Sapphire card will join the existing reference design R9 295X2 and ratchets up both the GPU and memory clockspeeds. Sapphire is clocking both Hawaii GPUs at up to 1030 MHz and running the 8GB of GDDR5 memory at 5.2 GHz. These factory overclocks are modest from a numerical standpoint, but considering cards running at stock clocks of 1018 MHz for the GPU and 5.0 GHz for the memory are already pushing a 500W TDP and over the ATX PSU spec, seeing any overclock is notable.
In all, we are looking at 5,632 stream processors (Hawaii architecture), 128 ROPs, and 352 TMUs. Each GPU uses a 512-bit bus to 4GB of graphics memory. This factory overclocked graphics horsepower rounds out to a smidgen more than 11.5 TFLOPS of single precision performance.
Sapphire is utilizing the same hybrid heatsink design as the reference cards which uses a centered fan and fin stack along with a AIO water cooler with a 120mm radiator.
Sapphire has not released pricing or availability on the overclocked model, but the stock-clocked R9 295X2 has an MSRP of $1,499. You can expect the R9 295X2 OC to come in at a premium, especially considering it is the first factory overclocked version that should hit the streets.
I'm excited to see this card come to market and push the boundaries of performance.
In the meantime, Ryan got a bit crazy with two stock R9 295X2 cards in quad crossfire and two power supplies. If you've got a few grand burning a hole in your pocket (or only wish you did), see what such a drool-worthy setup can get you in terms 4K gaming at PC Perspective!
The real S.T.A.L.K.E.R is here! Get the Lost Alpha now
Subject: General Tech | April 30, 2014 - 01:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gaming, stalker, lost alpha, kick ass
Reviving old games with new mods has become a popular past time for programmers and gamers alike, with one popular target being S.T.A.L.K.E.R. which has seen it's original form released for free as well as other rather impressive mods. After a long six year wait, there is another huge mod for the game now available, the Lost Alpha Standalone which does not even require you to own the full game to play as it uses the released original game. There will be bugs, you will suffer some pain but wasn't that the best part about the game? Head to Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN for links to a preview movie and the official torrent.
"It's been in development for five years and is now available, slightly earlier than originally planned. There are download links (including an official torrent) over at Moddb and you won't need to have the original game installed to play. I want to spend my day in the Zone."

AM1 Walks New Ground
After Josh's initial review of the AMD AM1 Platform and the Athlon 5350, we received a few requests to look at gaming performance with a discrete GPU installed. Even though this platform isn't being aimed at gamers looking to play demanding titles, we started to investigate this setup anyway.
While Josh liked the ASUS AM1I-A Mini ITX motherboard he used in his review, with only a x1 PCI-E slot it would be less than ideal for this situation.
Luckily we had the Gigabyte AM1M-S2H Micro ATX motherboard, which features a full length PCI-E x16 slot, as well as 2 x1 slots.
Don't be mistaken by the shape of the slot though, the AM1 chipset still only offers 4 lanes of PCI-Express 2.0. This, of course, means that the graphics card will not be running at full bandwidth. However, having the physical x16 slot makes it a lot easier to physically connect a discrete GPU, without having to worry about those ribbon cables that miners use.

Sounds like Pillars Of Eternity is moving along just fine
Subject: General Tech | April 16, 2014 - 03:53 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gaming, pillars of eternity, obsidian
Pillars of Eternity is Obsidian's Kickstarted RPG which is touted as a spirtual successor to the Baldurs Gate and Icewind Dale series with a bit of Planescape tossed in, using the new Infinity Engine. The gameplay footage we have seen shows artwork reminiscent of those games with vastly improved quality on the non-static elements and Chris Avellone is no stranger to writing decent story arcs, all bringing hope to fans of the once great Black Isle. One piece has been missing until recently, the soundtrack of these games were crucial in building the atmosphere of these games and now Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN has a snippet of the music that will appear in the game which you can listen to here.
"Making Pillars of Eternity feel like a modern day Infinity Engine game is important to us, and music plays a big role in achieving that goal. But what does that actually mean in practice? Well if you were to loosely analyze the music from Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and Icewind Dale 1 & 2 for example, you would find a number of stylistic similarities between them."

Congratulations, your SHIELD has been upgraded to the next level

Tagged: gaming, nvidia, shield
If you own NVIDIA's SHIELD then you may have noticed an over the air upgrade notification recently which you should take advantage of. Legit Reviews have assembled a look at the features you get from this upgrade, from broader access to GameStream from both your SHIELD and from any PC with a modern NVIDIA GPU to a new OS, KitKat 4.4.2. Check out how well NVIDIA implemented these updates in the full article.
"The NVIDIA SHIELD is potentially the next evolution of mobile gaming. The SHIELD in a nutshell is a blend of mobile android devices, PC gaming, and console gaming. When the NVIDIA SHIELD first came out last year, it was carrying a price tag of $299, eventually that dropped to $249 and that remains the current price for the SHIELD. Though for right now through the end of April NVIDIA has lowered the price to $199 to celebrate the latest and greatest over the air update that we announced last week here."

Athlon and Pentium Live On
Over the past year or so, we have taken a look at a few budget gaming builds here at PC Perspective. One of our objectives with these build guides was to show people that PC gaming can be cost competitive with console gaming, and at a much higher quality.
However, we haven't stopped pursuing our goal of the perfect inexpensive gaming PC, which is still capable of maxing out image quality settings on today's top games at 1080p.
Today we take a look at two new systems, featuring some parts which have been suggested to us after our previous articles.
|AMD System
|Intel System
|AMD Athlon X4 760K - $85
|Intel Pentium G3220 - $65
|Cores / Threads
|4 / 4
|2 / 2
|Gigabyte F2A55M-HD2 - $60
|MSI R9 270 Gaming - $180
|MSI R9 270 Gaming - $180
|System Memory
|Corsair 8GB DDR3-1600 (1x8GB) - $73
|Corsair 8GB DDR3-1600 (1x8GB) - $73
|Hard Drive
|Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green - $60
|Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green - $60
|Power Supply
|Cooler Master GX 450W - $50
|Cooler Master GX 450W - $50
|Cooler Master N200 MicroATX - $50
|Cooler Master N200 MicroATX - $50
(Editor's note: If you don't already have a copy of Windows, and don't plan on using Linux or SteamOS, you'll need an OEM copy of Windows 8.1 - currently selling for $98.)
These are low prices for a gaming computer, and feature some parts which many of you might not know a lot about. Let's take a deeper look at the two different platforms which we built upon.
The Platforms
First up is the AMD Athlon X4 760K. While you may not have known the Athlon brand was still being used on current parts, they represent an interesting part of the market. On the FM2 socket, the 760K is essentially a high end Richland APU, with the graphics portion of the chip disabled.
What this means is that if you are going to pair your processor with a discrete GPU anyway, you can skip paying extra for the integrated GPU.
As for the motherboard, we went for an ultra inexpensive A55 option from Gigabyte, the GA-F2A55M-HD2. This board features the A55 chipset which launched with the Llano APUs in 2011. Because of this older chipset, the board does not feature USB 3.0 or SATA 6G capability, but since we are only concerned about gaming performance here, it makes a great bare bones option.

Cooler Master Introduces QuickFire Rapid-i Mechanical Keyboard For Gamers
Subject: General Tech | April 2, 2014 - 09:49 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: quickfire rapid, NKRO, mechanical keyboard, gaming, cooler master
Cooler Master has introduced a new mechanical keyboard to the QuickFire Rapid family. The upcoming QuckFire Rapid-i is a fully backlit mechanical keybard that offers up gaming-friendly features.
Cooler Master is keeping many of the detailed specifications under wraps, but we do know that it supports both PS/2 and USB, uses laser etched matte keycaps along with mechanical switches, and uses a 32-bit ARM processor to drive the various back-lighting profiles (a technology Cooler Master calls ActivLite).
The keyboard supports 1ms response times in USB mode along with NKRO (N Key Roll Over) which allows simultaneous pressing of multiple keys which can come in handy when using the keyboard for gaming. The ActivLite technology supports five key backlighting modes with an additional five brightness levels in each mode. Cooler Master demonstrates one mode on their website where the keys being pressed light up and slowly fade in a trailing lighting effect as you continue typing. The keyboard has on board memory capable of storing four saved lighting profiles (users can program the backlighting of individual keys).
Unfortunately, Cooler Master has not stated which mechanical switches it is using in this keyboard beyond saying that they are both "tactile" and "quiet." Considering its predecessor used Cherry MX switches, those are a good bet though.
If you are interested in Cooler Master's latest mechanical keyboard, keep an eye on the product page the company set up for further information as it gets closer to a physical launch date.
Valve Ports Portal To NVIDIA Shield Gaming Handheld

During the opening keynote of NVIDIA's GTC 2014 conference, company CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced that Valve had ported the ever-popular "Portal" game to the NVIDIA SHIELD handheld gaming platform.
The game appeared to run smoothly on the portable device, and is a worthy addition to the catalog of local games that can be run on the SHIELD.
Additionally, while the cake may still be a lie, portable gaming systems apparently are not as Jen-Hsun Huang revealed that all GTC attendees will be getting a free SHIELD.

AMD just stole the mid-range performance Mantle in BF4
Subject: General Tech | March 5, 2014 - 03:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gaming, BF4, Mantle, amd
The new Mantle API has arrived for BF4, with quite a few other games waiting in the wings which will also take advantage of this DirectX competitor. The results that [H]ard|OCP saw were not as impressive as what the marketing would have had you believe but it still offers an improvement over DirectX in some cases. With high end hardware running at EyeFinity resolutions [H] did not see much improvement, the GTX 780 Ti took the performance crown. However on a single monitor with a R9 290 or 280X they saw very significant performance increases which left both the GTX 780 and 770 lagging behind in performance. Mantle will not yet allow mid range GPUs to act like high end cards but there is promise in this new API.
"AMD's Mantle API has been with us for just over a month now, and we have strapped a variety of video cards to the test bench to see what real world differences are being delivered to gamers within Battlefield 4. We will compare D3D11, Mantle, on various GPUs, looking at highest playable settings, frame times, and discuss our experiences."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Do a search on this board - this has been covered in great detail. The problem is common to all GM tilt columns for most of two decades. A definite design flaw that GM never addressed. There are 4 bolts buried in the column that are difficult to reach. Virtually every GM column will suffer from these loosening sooner or later. It is very worth fixing of you DIY but would be pretty expensive if you take it to a shop - lots of man-hours. Regardless still cheaper than replacing the column which isn't necessary since once the bolts are tightened, the column will be like new.
It isn't technically hard to fix yourself but takes a couple of specialized tools (that you can easily make yourself) and guts to tear into the column. I am always amazed that GM stuck with this thing as long as they did in view of the design flaw and the man-hours it would take at the factory to assemble it in the first place.
steering colum
The tilit steering column on my sons 1985 transam is really loose. It seems to be loose at the dash where the column actually tilts. I have heard that this is a problem with that car and year. I have never repaired of replace a steering column. I have heard that it is not worth trying to fix. Does anybody have any info to help?

I like the name, too. Interesting that Crucial.com uses a descriptive domain name, but they didn't make a play to buy this one (yet).
I think bar.net is the biggest bargain in the list.
They may after seeing this E, you carry a lot of weight 😉
Elliot – why you haven't listed WW.COM as well?
It was not submitted to me. Who is brokering it?

He didn't submit it, and I don't post names that weren't submitted.
Well, why you don't do your own research and post your listing based on what is going on on domaning world. It seems to me weak procedure just wait for submissions and then post them. Sorry.
Maybe Toby didn't want to submit this name. He's submitted in the past, and he is on my small email list reminding people to submit names, but he didn't send me anything this week.
Why don't you open up a site called "Jaysblog.com" and do YOUR own research?

Yeah…Now that I recall, that word is not just easy to remember,, it's truly Unforgetable
bar.net,get.com and tight.com are Nice for certain.
Nameconnect has Propositions.com up and is also a good deal @ $10,000 and a few others.

I can't depend on the call being successful without watching it because our phone lines are old & even with changing the codes, call still get interrupted by noise on the line.

James McBride: Traditional Spirituals, In The Studio
The Good Lord Bird, the latest novel from James McBride, is a fictionalized retelling of the true story of abolitionist John Brown -- the grizzled anti-slavery rebel who was eventually captured in 1859 during his unsuccessful raid on Harpers Ferry. But in addition to his work as a best-selling author of books like The Color Of Water and Miracle At St. Anna, McBride is also a conservatory-trained musician and composer.
Two months before The Good Lord Bird won the National Book Award, McBride joined us in the Soundcheck studio to talk about the novel and to perform a selection of traditional spirituals with a quintet of singers and musicians.

Hey, New Hires! Sign Here!
At the age of 25, I accepted a job with a large telecommunications company in the Midwest. During the usual first day (try to look busy... find the bathroom) I was given a stack of paperwork to complete.
One of the forms was the 401(k) contribution application. After reading that the company matched 75% of the first 6% of pre-tax income that I contributed, I figured "what the heck, it sounds like free money to me." Since I was new to the job, my bring-home pay always included the 6% deduction going into the 401(k). I never missed the money, since I based my spending on what I brought home each month.
After working 7 years at the company, I accepted a position with a new firm. After completing the proper paperwork, I was mailed a 401(k) rollover check that totaled $70,000. I Foolishly rolled this money into an IRA account, and using some of the techniques found on these web pages, the IRA now totals over $200,000 after 3 years.
I think back to all the money I spent between the ages of 25 and 35. New cars, computers, bad relationships, and beer money are normal purchases made by folks in this age bracket. Without signing the 401(k) contribution application, I guarantee that I would have spent that remaining 6% of bring-home money (if there was any after taxes), and wouldn't be on the road to a comfortable retirement.
So enroll in your 401(k) program at work now, new hires! You can't afford not to!

Virginia Mayo (born Virginia Clara Jones; November 30, 1920 – January 17, 2005) was an American actress and dancer. Best known for a series of comedy films with Danny Kaye, Mayo was Warner Brothers' biggest box-office money-maker in the late 1940s.[1] She also co-starred in the 1946 Oscar-winning movie The Best Years of Our Lives.[2]
Early life and career[edit]
Born Virginia Clara Jones in St. Louis, Missouri, she was the daughter of newspaper reporter Luke and wife, Martha Henrietta (née Rautenstrauch) Jones. Her family had roots back to the earliest days of St. Louis, including great-great-great grandfather Captain James Piggott, who founded East St. Louis, Illinois, in 1797.[1] Young Virginia's aunt operated an acting school in the St. Louis area, which Virginia began attending at age six.[1] She also was tutored by a series of dancing instructors engaged by her aunt.
Following her graduation from Soldan High School in 1937, Jones landed her first professional acting and dancing jobs at the St. Louis Municipal Opera[1] and in an act with six other girls at the Hotel Jefferson. Impressed with her ability, her brother-in-law, vaudeville performer, Andy Mayo, recruited her to appear in his act "Morton and Mayo".[3] Jones toured the American vaudeville circuit for three years, serving as ringmaster and comedic foil for "Pansy the Horse", as Mayo and his partner, Nonnie Morton,[4] performed in a horse suit.[1] In 1941, Jones, now known by the stage name Virginia Mayo, got another career break as she appeared on Broadway with Eddie Cantor in Banjo Eyes.[5]
Hollywood stardom[edit]
In the early 1940s, Virginia Mayo's talent and striking beauty came to the attention of movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn, who signed her to an acting contract with his company. One of her first films was the 1943 hit Jack London, which starred her future husband Michael O'Shea.[2] Other roles soon followed as she became a popular actress who personified the dream girl or girl-next-door image in a series of films. A beneficiary of the Technicolor film process, it was said that audiences—particularly males—would flock to theaters just to see her blonde hair and classic looks on-screen.[1] Her first starring role came in 1944 opposite comedian Bob Hope in The Princess and the Pirate. Remaining in the comedy genre, Mayo had several popular on-screen pairings with dancer-actor Danny Kaye, including Wonder Man (1945), The Kid from Brooklyn (1946), and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947).[2]
Going against previous stereotype, Mayo accepted the supporting role of unsympathetic, gold-digger Marie Derry in William Wyler's drama The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). Her performance drew favorable reviews from critics, as the film also became the highest-grossing film inside the US since Gone with the Wind. At the zenith of her career, Mayo was seen as the quintessential voluptuous Hollywood beauty. It was said that she "looked like a pinup painting come to life". According to widely published reports from the late 1940s, the Sultan of Morocco declared her beauty to be "tangible proof of the existence of God."[3] She would continue a series of dramatic performances in the late 1940s in films such as Smart Girls Don't Talk (1948). Virginia Mayo was a constant fixture in the movie theaters in 1949 as she co-starred in many movies all released that year. Among them were Flaxy Martin, opposite Joel McCrea in the western Colorado Territory, co-starred with future United States President Ronald Reagan in The Girl from Jones Beach, and with comedian Milton Berle in Always Leave Them Laughing. Mixing drama with comedy roles all year, Mayo received rave reviews for her performance alongside James Cagney and Edmond O'Brien in 1949's White Heat and received equally impressive reviews for co-starring with George Raft in Roy Del Ruth's Red Light that same year. In a later interview, Mayo admitted she was frightened by Cagney as the psychotic gunman in White Heat because he was so realistic.[3]
At the beginning of the 1950s, Mayo scored success with the adventure film The Flame and the Arrow (1950) with Burt Lancaster. She co-starred again with James Cagney and a young Doris Day in The West Point Story (1950), singing and dancing with Cagney, and appeared in the all-star cast of Starlift (1951). She starred opposite Dennis Morgan in David Butler's Technicolor musical, Painting the Clouds with Sunshine (1951) which was a moderate success. While Mayo appeared in several musicals, using her training in dance, her voice was always dubbed.
During the rest of the 1950s, Mayo continued to appear in films with varying genres. In 1953, she appeared in the comedy-drama-action film South Sea Woman with Burt Lancaster and Chuck Connors. She played Helena in Victor Saville's The Silver Chalice (1954) opposite Pier Angeli and Paul Newman in his film debut. Mayo co-starred with Rex Harrison and George Sanders in King Richard and the Crusaders (1954). Mayo played Cleopatra in the 1957 fantasy film The Story of Mankind with Vincent Price, Hedy Lamarr, Cesar Romero, Agnes Moorehead, and the Marx Brothers. She appeared as Celia Grey in the 1958 western, Fort Dobbs, with Clint Walker and Brian Keith. Her last film of the decade was 1959's Jet Over the Atlantic with Guy Madison and George Raft.
Later career[edit]
By the 1960s, Mayo's film career had tapered off considerably, although she continued to appear in films throughout the next several decades, with one of her last prominent roles being in Fort Utah (1967) with John Ireland. She was also one of the several stars to make a cameo appearance in the all-star box office bomb Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976). Her final film appearance was in the 1997 film The Man Next Door. Later in life, Mayo appeared in stage and musical theater productions, often with her husband, Michael O'Shea (who co-starred in such stage productions as Tunnel of Love, Fiorello, and George Washington Slept Here). Mayo also enjoyed notoriety in the 1970s and 1980s as a television guest star in the hit shows The Love Boat, Remington Steele, and Murder, She Wrote, and a dozen episodes of the soap opera Santa Barbara.[3]
Mayo was one of the first to be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[1] Hers is located at 1751 Vine Street. In 1996, Mayo was honored by her hometown as she received a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame.[6]
Personal life[edit]
Mayo wed Michael O'Shea in 1947, and they remained married until his death in 1973. The couple had one child, Mary Catherine O'Shea (born 1953). The family lived for several decades in Thousand Oaks, California. In later years, she developed a passion for painting and also occupied her time doting on her three grandsons.[3] She converted to Roman Catholicism by way of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. A lifelong Republican, she endorsed Richard Nixon in 1968 and 1972, and longtime friend Ronald Reagan in 1980.[7]
Mayo died of pneumonia and complications of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles on January 17, 2005, aged 84, at a nursing home in Thousand Oaks. Her death was reported the next day in the New York Times.[8] She is buried next to her husband in Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Park in Westlake Village, California.[9]

69 Firebird 2GV Fuel gushing out of Carb
I've got a vaccum leak either in the Carb or in the intake manifold. Decided to rebuild the carb first. Rebuilt it. Fuel gushing out top of carb. Did I misadjust the float?
Go back and re-check the floats and make sure you got everything clean so that nothing is blocking the needle valve. JMO Simply re-check your work.
You should have verified where the vaccum leak was first IMHO.
One of three things.
Float level too high
Something stuck in the needle
Too much fuel pressure to carb
Has the car been sitting for any length of time? If so, it may have crud in the fuel lines and after rebuilding it the carb may have gotten more crud on start up and plugged the needle again. Had this happen on one that I rebuilt on a car that sat for 10 yrs.
Pull it apart and recheck everything, then make sure you've got a good filter ahead of the carb.
I took the carb back apart. I measured the float. It was dead on. I checked the needle. It was fine.
I should mention that the man I bought the car from had had the carb rebuilt.
I drive this Firebird every week.
I reinstalled the carb. I started it up. It was running fine. I cut the choke with tap of the peddle. The RPM's didn't drop to 400 so I was thinking I fixed the vaccum leak. I was patting myself on the back and then gas started coming out the top again.
I am thinking that there is something obstructing the needle from being able to seat correctly. I am having a heck of time trying to get the fuel filter thing to come off.
my fuel inlet threads, the thing that houses the filter, are mashed up. Someone before me put in quite a big of epoxy. I cleaned it out and screwed it back together carefully.
I was still having the fuel overflow problem. My friend suggested hitting the area over the needle with a hammer while the carb was sitting on the car. Tapped if a few times with a hammer and that must've unstuck the needle because it stopped gushing gas all over the place. He said that he used to have to do it all the time on his 70 Falcon. He'd pull over and tap his carb a few times with a hammer and then be on his way. He had another hammer trick for his starter too. Anyway, thanks for the help.
I suggest you figure out your problem and correct it with out a hammer. You are asking for a serious engine fire.
I'd say you HAVE figured out the problem and corrected it. Often times a small piece of debris will lodge in the seat, and the only way it will dilodge is through the method you used. With a good filter ahead of the carb it shouldn't be a future issue.

What a great day we had yesterday at Fort Point in San Francisco! Thank you to all the participants for coming out and joining me on this photo walk. In order to accommodate everyone, we held two sessions – one in the morning and another in the afternoon.
The historic fort which at one time guarded San Francisco Bay offers many challenges and rewards to photographers trying to capture it's beauty. Dark, brick- lined corridors with splotches of bright sun challenged us and the dynamic range of our cameras. Participants learned how to overcome that by using tripods, putting their cameras in manual metering modes, and using flash to help fill in the shadows.
If interested in joining us for future photo walks, check out the Events link on the left side of this page. We have some great ones coming up including the fall colors in Napa Valley, fiireworks in SF and waterfalls in Marin County, just to name a few. You must sign up early for all of these because they fill up quickly.
See you on the next one!

Light switch - Taping into ground wire ok?
I changed the light switch in the spare bedroom and notice there is no ground wire connected to the old light switch and ofcourse the new switch has a place to hook up a ground, but I have no ground wire to use.
If you look in the hole in this picture you can see a ground wire that is 2 grounds with a twist nut on it.
Can I use a small peice of ground wire and wire nut it in with the rest of those wires and connect it to my light switch?
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
yes that is fine
Bundles of ground wires also need wire nuts, just twisting is not good enough these days.
Use pigtails in the fashion described here whenever two or more wires want to go under one screw.
If the box is metal, a ground wire, possibly a second pigtail, must be attached to the box, or a clip (sold separately for the purpose) inserted where the switch mounting tab (yoke) is attached to the box.

Jim Cramer and the rise of the whining loudmouth
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Can we just take a moment to decry the most annoying media trend of the year--the whining loudmouth. CNBC employs two of the biggest offenders; Cramer and Rick Santelli. The third Mouseketeer, of course, is Rush Limbaugh. All three loudmouths uncorked nutty, anti-Obama rants in recent weeks.
Then when reporters raised question during White House press briefings and got responses from Robert Gibbs, the loud mouths turned and whined about the nasty White House was going after them, targeting them, putting them on (non-existent) enemies lists. Good God, if you're going to making a living as a loudmouth making stuff up on national television, at least man up and take the gentle push back with some dignity.
Santelli's bed-wetting act about the White House was targeting him was especially lame. And now we get Cramer, when not penning tedious and narcissistic open letters to the White House, going on Today and whining about how the White House is after a "little guy" like Cramer because all he did was point out that the Dow averages "are down a lot" since Obama's inauguration.
That's the other thing; while he's whining like a little school kid, Cramer won't even be honest about what nutty, fact-free things he said in the past. Did Cramer simply go on TV and point out the Dow is "down a lot"? Of course not. Because if he did nobody at the White House would care.
What Cramer said, but won't man up to on Today, is that the Dow's are down a lot because of Obama; because the new communist-like president was destroying American wealth on an historic scale. Really? The Dow has lost approximately 1,500 points since Inauguration Day. But between May 2008 and January 21, 2009, while Bush was president, the Dow lost 4,800 points. But we don't remember Cramer calling the Republican president a communist or bemoaning the wealth destruction his administration had unleashed.
Our advice for Cramer: Stop making stuff up, and enough with the petulant whining.

For the not-so-serious drinker: Marshmallow vodka
By Martinne Geller
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Vodkas flavored with citrus and berry have been around for years and recently some newer brands have been trying to create buzz with unusual flavors.
But this holiday season, for the first time, the world's largest vodka brand is trying to appeal to Americans' sweet tooth with zany flavors like "fluffed marshmallow" and "whipped cream."
Faced with relentless competition from established and upstart brands, Smirnoff's owner -- the London-based beverage group Diageo Plc -- took inspiration from things like cookie-scented candles and vanilla-scented laundry soap. It then relied on focus groups, mixologists and food scientists to come up with the new drinks, which went through some 15 iterations, according to the company's chief marketing and innovation officer for North America, Peter McDonough.
Tasters preferred a "toasted" marshmallow flavor, but the marketing team decided that "fluffed" marshmallow would be a better name, McDonough said, since it would help avoid perceptions that the drink tasted "chalky or burnt."
Diageo paired the drinks with an advertising campaign around the title "Fluffed and Whipped" that features a circus of dancers, dogs, aerialists, women spraying whipped cream into their mouths and model Amber Rose purring that "vodka never felt this good."
The mixing of sugar and spice has struck a chord, particularly with younger, female drinkers, say some New York bartenders.
"In five years of bartending, I have never seen a bottle sell out that fast," said Dena Kravitz of Rosie O'Grady's Irish Pub in Manhattan's Times Square. "It's the martini of the younger generation." Continued...

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) oversees primary and secondary public education for the state, including setting accountability standards. The Commissioner of Education, Michael L. Williams, manages the TEA, and the agency works in conjunction with the State Board of Education (SBOE) in setting curriculum standards.
According to its website, the TEA:
- manages the textbook adoption process;
- oversees development of the statewide curriculum;
- administers the statewide assessment program;
- administers a data collection system on public school students, staff and finances;
- rates school districts under the statewide accountability system;
- operates research and information programs;
- monitors for compliance with federal guidelines; and
- serves as a fiscal agent for the distribution of state and federal funds.
The Handbook of Texas Online states that in 1990, "TEA reorganized to make it more client-centered and field-based, emphasizing communication between local school districts and TEA through the newly established Field Service Unit and strengthening accountability and coordination with the state's twenty regional education services. In 1987 the legislature established the Legislative Education Board to oversee the implementation of state-mandated education reforms and to set public education policy, which TEA and the State Board of Education implement."
