THE ARK CATCHES THE WAVE, by James M. Manheim
Kim Richey's show at the Ark on Sunday, October 17, marked a small milestone for people who keep track of such things: it was notable for its thoroughgoing inclusion of electronic sounds, provided by a keyboardist. Richey came out of country music, had some hits in that genre in the 1990s, and still writes lyrics informed by country conventions and ideas.
But she's always been on the music's progressive edge, and now she's in middle age and no longer the going thing. What does a musician with an innovative nature hear when she looks out into the world, opens her ears to new sounds, and tries to find the important kernel in current trends? It's the collection of techniques that are called electronica when they're banged out in a dance club and avant-garde when they're stripped down to chamber pop dimensions.
Richey doesn't just dress up her country tunes with electronic beats but has begun to write songs around those beats, including a lovely one about going for a walk in the snow at midnight in London that would have lost something if played by just guitars and drums. The onstage manipulation of electronic sound is already quite common in music made by young people, and it's finding its way into broader popular traditions as well. It's the wave of the future.

No idea yet. Not sure on the direction or if we'll even need help, but it's good to know it's available if we do.

Oh I want one of these too! Gonna have to get a second job......
Is there any significance to the "Legend" moniker? As in will there be a "Legend Edition" and a "Regular Edition"?
At this point, there is only a Legend Edition planned.
Any updates on the lid?
I am curious too. I would love one, but based on the vader and stormie lids, it's probably going to be out of my price range.
Any new developments Gino? I cleared some shelf space that this lid would look lovely on.
Doesn't look any different than the FPH2 really.....
The eFX will be better in many ways but sure, they do Look similar. In the sense that they both look like an ESB specific helmet.
Its all in what you value.
If you want something that looks sort of correct because someone fixed up and sculpted on an ESB helmet casting a few times removed from the original, go FPH2.
If you want something that is correct because it is a cleaned up direct casting of the ESB hero helmet go eFX.
This isnt meant as a dig at FP. It's just facts; yes they do look sort of similar at a glance but the eFX will have a much better pedigree and overall shape.

This is not meant as a negative about the efx helmet either.
But I'd really like to see the two side by side. I think any differences would be so small most Fett fans would hardly be able to tell the difference.
Apples and oranges.
I would like both in my collection, so I'm hopeful that the efx isn't too expensive.
Any updates on when we might see the Fett helmet release?
If there were any new updates, I'd be sure to post them here.
I kinda figured that but I had hope. Thanks.
EFX STORMTROOPER ANH HERO HELMET LEGEND EDITION I'm saddened to see this being made out of fiberglass to me it's not a accurate replica a true replica is vac formed ABS if EFX offered it with an option of which material i'd buy it for my collection but if it's fiberglass option only i'm not wasting my money also is the storm trooper suit going to be all fiberglass too or is it all ABS as it should be also the official website could use some updating and more detail on the products offered just a suggestion for those who don't have or want FB
The suit and helmet are going to be made in ABS.
There is going to be an additional helmet that can be purchased separately that will be in fiberglass.
Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I have been wondering if there is anything new from the world of Boba helmets? Even if it's just an expected time frame. I need to know when I should start saving my pennies.
Crikey... Between this bucket and the Sideshow life-size I better get a second job.
They may have some new info for SDCC, but other than that I would say it's going to be year or years before we see it.
Gino is still working on the thing. Seems like it'll happen eventually. The scout helmet is just now open for pre order.
Yes...this is definitely taking longer than most of us would have hoped...although worth the wait I'm sure
LOL, I dont think theyre sitting on it by any means...but things take time. They dont just deal in 1 item there. :P
I'm sure it'll be spectacular. I was just looking at the scout trooper today and it's really beautiful. I've always been excited about the prospect of this company making some Fett props. I really don't mind them taking their time on it. I'd rather see it done correctly but I do hope to see some updates just to satisfy my own curiosity.
As a side note, I'm looking forward to the day where that bucket is part of my collection. It'll be awesome to see the progression from the DP Deluxe, through the MR edition, all the way up to the EFX.

Even though it was a mild winter here in NYC, my hair did not come out of it OK. Breakage, split ends, dryness--you name it and I've got it. Now here it is almost May and I'm scrambling to fix it. Are you in the same boat? Here are some hair repair tactics you could try.
TIGI Wonderful Tonight ($61). It's pricey, but my hair felt better the first time I tried it.
L'Oreal EverStrong Overnight Repair Treatment Conditioner ($9). A cheaper option that still gets the job done.
Phytonectar Oil Pre-Shampoo Intense Hydrating Oil Treatment ($30). This one is great for boosting shine.
So, there you go. Got any tips to add to my list?

A Danish school principal has banned the use of foreign languages by students who are playing on the playground on grounds that students yell at one another in languages that are not understood. Carsten Heyer, the principal was reported to the police after he instituted a Danish only voice on the playground. If a student breaks the rule, he will be reprimanded by a teacher and if he does it again, parents will be contacted. Daniski Skoleelever, of the National Student Association, termed the action childish and having no relation to any logical education goal. For some reason the principal is concerned that some students are being insulted in a language they do not understand. One would assume if someone is insulted in a language they do not know, then they don't know they were insulted and will go on playing.
Logic would make insulting people in Danish more of a problem than insulting people in a language they don't know. This is among the most ridiculous examples of authority being exercised for reasons that make no sense. Shouldn't educators encourage insulting students in languages they don't know since it would avoid conflict? Why would anyone become upset if another person speaks to them in words not understood?

Rapture Ready Local Mom
A local woman tried to kill her two daughters and herself because she thought that the "Tribulation" was starting. Perhaps someone should ask these people if this is the message they really mean to tell people.
We visited family in Louisiana at the end of last year and ran across two signs along Interstate 10. One sign was located in Orange, Texas and the other near Laccasine, Louisiana. The WeCanKnow people have a donation link on their web page. Why? If the world is ending, why do they need donations? I hope the the people who follow them (like this mom) don't try to end their lives and those of their families before this date.

The P-dale case provides another tragic instance of applied fundamentalism-- and nearly all judeo-christian churches have some "Rapture" concept (as does the Koran), IMHE.
Thomas Jefferson had his doubts about the Book of Revelation:
"It is between fifty and sixty years since I read it [the Book of Revelation], and I then considered it merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy nor capable of explanation than the incoherencies of our own nightly dreams ... I cannot so far respect them as to consider them as an allegorical narrative of events, past or subsequent. There is not enough coherence in them to countenance any suite of rational ideas.... What has no meaning admits no explanation.""
Jefferson was not without flaws as a person but he did understand the dangers of religious hysteria (of all sorts).

I'm not entirely certain what you are trying to do here (a small example
would help), but if I understand you correctly, have a look at
From the Documentation:
gives the number of digits in the base 10 representation of the integer n.
Under More Information, you will find that IntegerLength automatically
threads over lists. It ignores the sign of the integer.
IntegerLength[0], by the way, is 0.
Here's a small example, starting with a list of 25000 random integers in
the range from -10000 to 10000.
list = RandomInteger[{-10000, 10000}, 25000];
lengths = IntegerLength[list]; (* getting the lengths of all the
integers in the list *)
maxlength = Max[lengths]; (* find the maximum length if not already
known *)
Now use Count to find the frequency of each length up to the maxlength.
and so on.
To get them all at once, Map it across the range from 0 to maxlength.
Map[Count[lengths, #] &, Range[0, maxlength]]
Or better yet, generate a list of ordered pairs {n, frequency} like so.
Map[{#, Count[lengths, #]} &, Range[0, maxlength]]

October, November, and December are my favorite months of the year.
There are so many crafty things to do during these holiday months.
One of the crafty things that I love to make are wreaths.
I especially love wreaths that are easy to make and are inexpensive. With a new baby and a
small tiny budget, both of these things are a must.
This wreath took me about 15 minutes to make, and costed me around $9 to put together!
Let me share with you how to make this Haunted Halloween Wreath!
- 1 straw wreath form (Hobby Lobby, about $4)
- 3 black garlands with purple ghosts (Dollar Tree, $3)
- 1 black felt haunted house (Dollar Tree, $1)
- 1 black and silver spider (Dollar Tree, $1)
- hot glue gun
This wreath is so easy, you can't mess it up!
First, secure the end of one of the garlands to the straw wreath form with hot glue.
Wrap the garland around the wreath form just like you would if you were making a yarn wrapped wreath.
When you come to the end of the garland, secure it to the wreath with hot glue. Then start the next garland the same way. Make sure that you are spacing out the garland enough that it will cover the whole wreath. It only took 3 garlands for me to cover this wreath, but I was pretty liberal with my spacing.
When I got finished wrapping my wreath, I had a small gap. I decided that this would be the place I would glue the spider, so I added some black ribbon there to cover the straw that you could see.
Next, I laid the haunted house on top of the wreath and adjusted it until I liked its position. I wanted the spider to be down low on the wreath, so I kept that in mind knowing that the spider was going to be where the black ribbon was. Using hot glue, I secured the haunted house.
I kind of like it just without the spider, but since I already had him...
I hot glued him on!
Quick. Easy. Simple.
Just what a crafty new mommy needs a project to be!
Quick tip: The straw wreath form from Hobby Lobby comes covered in plastic wrap. DO NOT take the plastic wrap off if you would not like straw all over the place. Just a heads-up. Not like I would know from experience or anything. :)
Thanks for reading.
I'm linking up!

Will Formiga Become Nova Uniao's Third UFC Champ?
Sometimes the best answers are the simplest ones. At least it was for flyweight contender Jussier Formiga, who shook off a loss in his UFC debut to John Dodson in October of 2012 not by changing champs, taking on some new diet, or revamping his style. Instead, he went back to the Nova Uniao gym he calls home, and put his gloves on and his mouthpiece back in . . Click here for more on UFC.com

Visions of Change
A Spring Semester in Full Bloom
As we reach spring break and the three-quarters mark of the academic year, it is a chance to reflect on what has been a remarkable semester. Most importantly, the Chancellor has approved the faculty's recommendation for promotion to full professor and tenure for two of our wonderful colleagues, Christopher Whytock and Sarah Lawsky.
We have had an extraordinary wealth of special events in the first two months of 2012, including:
- On Jan. 12, Barry Friedman of NYU Law School spoke on "Policing without Permission," to celebrate the proposed UCI Law Raymond Pryke Chair on First Amendment Law.
- On Jan. 18, the U.S. Court of Appeals held oral arguments at UCI Law.
- On Jan. 18, a panel of scholars had a discussion about the impact on civil liberties of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the war on terror.
- On Feb. 7, Prof. Richard Lazarus of Harvard Law spoke on "The 2010 Gulf Oil Spill: Investigating its Root Causes at the Request of the President," delivering the inaugural lecture launching the UCI Law Center for Land, Environment, and Natural Resources.
- On Feb. 13, UCI Law Professor Richard Hasen delivered his Chancellor's Chair lecture on his new book "The Voting Wars."
- On Feb. 15, Harvard Law Professor Charles Ogletree delivered the annual Al Meyerhoff Public Interest Law Lecture on "President Obama's Election and Pursuit of a Post-Racial America."
- On Feb. 17, Valerie Plame Wilson, the ex-CIA agent whose identity was leaked by White House staff, spoke at UCI Law about her experiences.
- On Feb. 21, the Black Law Students Association sponsored a panel of attorneys discussing their experiences as part of Black History Month.
- On March 1, the annual Public Interest Law Fund Community Trivia Quest drew hundreds of people and raised money for summer stipends.
- On March 2, UCI Law Professor Christopher Whytock hosted a symposium on "Human Rights Litigation in State Courts and Under State Law."
And the second half of the semester will be even busier, as we will hold many more wonderful events:
- On March 9-11, we will hold a symposium on " 'Law as…' II: History as Interface for the Interdisciplinary Study of Law," a three-day event hosted by UCI Law Professor Christopher Tomlins.
- On March 12, former federal judge and now Harvard Law Professor Nancy Gertner will present the third annual Mark Robinson Lecture.
- On March 15-16, we will host a student-organized symposium on "Reigniting Community: Strengthening the Asian Pacific American Identity."
- On April 13, we will hold a symposium on "Business Law as Public Interest Law," hosted by UCI Law Professor Christopher Leslie.
- On April 16, Former White House Counsel Fred Fielding presents the first Mary and John Carrington Lecture and will speak about the "Plights and Pleasures of Public Service."
In addition, we have had a rich collection of student speakers and faculty workshops. All of this reflects the rich and exciting intellectual community that we are creating.
On May 5, at 2:00 p.m., we will celebrate our terrific inaugural students and hold the first commencement at UCI Law School. We are very fortunate to have Judge Harry Edwards, U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, as our commencement speaker.
Amidst all of this, this year, every third-year student is enrolled in a legal clinic and gaining invaluable experience while serving clients under faculty supervision. Our students continue to do prodigious pro bono work. We held a mock trial competition in the fall and are conducting a moot court competition this semester, which will culminate in a final round on March 23 in front of three federal court of appeals judges.
We also are very much looking to the future. Under the direction of Assistant Dean Janice Austin, applications are up significantly over last year, and we are recruiting the Class of 2015. Admitted students weekend will be held March 23-24 to welcome our prospective students and to give them a sense of the wonderful community we have created.
It is a tremendously exciting time at the Law School.

Dodgers pull plug on Lee deal after waiting two days for his approval
The Dodgers decided they weren't desperate enough to keep waiting on a player who wasn't exactly tearing it up anyway.
|Lee's hesitation prompts the Dodgers to seek other options for upgrading their offense. (US Presswire)
The wait for Carlos Lee's approval had gone on long enough, so the Dodgers finally pulled the plug on the deal that would have sent the veteran slugger west to Los Angeles.
Sources say the Dodgers called off the deal earlier on Sunday. They were to send pitching prospect Garrett Gould to Houston for Lee in an attempt to bolster their offense, which has badly missed superstar Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier.
The deal was made Friday, and Lee was saying he was having trouble deciding. Perhaps the Dodgers took that as a hint. Lee is hitting .290 with five home runs, so he isn't exactly having a big power year, anyway.
The Dodgers are expected to continue to seek ways to upgrade their offense. First base and third base are two spots where they could use help.
There is no indication they have real interest in the Cubs' Alfonso Soriano, who is on the block. Not many great offensive options are available, but the Cubs have a few, including All-Star Bryan LaHair.
The Dodgers, major players with their new ownership team, are also expected to try to add a starting pitcher, and Ryan Dempster is a candidate for them once he comes off the disabled list.
The Astros have been trying to trade Lee since the winter but are hampered by his 14-team no-trade list which includes mostly major-market teams. He originally signed with the Astros partly because he has a cattle ranch near Houston, and has shown no desire to leave. He opted for the Astros over the Giants despite San Francisco offering more than the $100-million, six-year deal he signed in Houston. So he has never shown a great desire to play on the West Coast.
The Astros are telling teams they are willing to trade any of their players, though they'd have to be bowled over to consider trading emerging shortstop Jed Lowrie, who is close to untouchable.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
I and several colleagues are in a situation with our employer where we are owed unpaid wages and benefits. Payroll is currently 3 (bi-monthly) pay periods behind, 401k has been deducted from past payrolls but not deposited in our 401k accounts, Health Insurance premiums have been deducted since August but the Health Insurance plan has not been paid and is now suspended. We have also been locked out of our office until rent is caught up, and have many personal assets currently being held by the leasor. We are all salaried employees. There are 5 of us left in the company.
Our CEO claims he is working on funding and is close, but continues to fail to meet dates for securing finances and pushes his plan/milestones (and paying us) out. While several of us are pursuing other opportunities, none have left the company as of this point.
My question is what is the best legal course of action to take to recoup what is owed us? We are to the point where we are not as concerned about maintaining our employment at this company. We are concerned that if we quit we will not see a dime of what is owed us and will be unable to claim unemployment.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Your best recourse is to file a claim for unpaid wages with the Texas Workforce Commission.
It seems clear that the handwriting is on the wall for this company, so you would also be well advised to start looking for employment elsewhere.
You may report the 401(k) misuse and unpaid wages to the federal DOL.
http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/Publications/10warningsigns.htmlIf I were you all, I wouldn't keep showing up to work unpaid regardless, read the tea leaves and file for unemployment benefits.I can't fathom why you'd think you wouldn't receive unemployment benefits if you quit. It's a constructive discharge situation when you aren't being paid for your work. Make that clear on any unemployment benefits claim. Hanging around doesn't make it any more likely that you'll get paid what you're owed.
Another concern that we have is that the health insurance plan, for which we were having premiums deducted, was not being paid. The provider suspended our account(s) several weeks ago. The information we (employees) have is that once the plan has been fully paid up, the suspension will be raised. We can then resubmit medical expenses for reimbursement.
The larger issue is not having had a lapse in coverage. Several of my colleagues have family members with existing health issues. Going forward, getting on new plans raises the question of whether or not conditions will be considered pre-existing due to the (potential) lapse in health insurance coverage.
Does anyone have an opinion of the ramifications and/or recourse for the health insurance issue given this situation? Again, premiums were taken out of paycheks for the period of time that payroll was made, but the health insurance provider was not paid during this time.
We are also trying to balance the issue of being stuck in a health insurance plan that is suspended, but that we will have wages deducted for when/if we are paid. Given that our employer is moving forward under the assumption that he will get funding, bring payroll up to date and pay off the health insurance provider it puts us in a difficult situation of knowing whether or not we should move to new health plans. Again, the sticking point is having a lapse in coverage. As of now, the account suspension is due to the plan owing money for several months. Signing up for new individual, family plans now will likely show a lapse in coverage.
The odds suggest the ship is destined to sink! Act to save your own skin as best you can.
Me, I;'d file today for UC --it may be only straw in wind --its NOT retroactive so file ASAP..
Assume the health coverage gap will not be cured and that you are not covered for now --sort out if you can maintain coverage via COBRA --I'm lost on that one.
If by some miracle the CEO gets the ship back afloat --solve those issues then.
Wage claims are a priority item if the ship sinks but that doesn't mean there will be any funds to pay anything.
If the 401K was taken out it has to be someplace --failure to deposit it may be a criminal issue--dig deeper
The question is how long the lapse in coverage is.
If the lapse is 63 days or longer, then yes, a pre-existing clause CAN be triggered (the fact that it CAN does not mean it WILL - many plans do not have a pre-ex clause to begin with). The longest an employer-sponsored plan can consider a condition pre-existing is 12 months under Federal law (18 months under some very limited conditions); some states have shorter periods.
If the lapse in coverage is less than 63 days, then the new plan, assuming it is employer-sponsored, MAY NOT consider any condition to be pre-ex under Federal law. An individual plan might, but as indicated above not all plans do.

Adding to his list of credits, Zac Efron made his debut on the Funny or Die Web site this week with a star-studded poolside party video.
The "High School Musical: Senior Year" stud enlisted the help of a bunch of his fellow celebrities to make a hilarious 4-minute spot that's been getting all kinds of attention on the Internet.
Continuing to log long hours on the dancefloor, Denise Richards was spotted going to the 3rd Street Dance studio in West Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon (February 25).
The "Wild Things" actress met up with her "Dancing with the Stars" partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, as the two headed inside to work on their steps ahead of this season's premiere on March 8th.
Joining the long list of celebrities hosting New Year's Eve bashes in Las Vegas, Denise Richards joined forces with Lance Bass to usher in 2009 at Prive in Planet Hollywood.
The "Finding Bliss" beauty and her 'N Sync co-host playfully posed for photographers as they made their way inside the Planet Hollywood hotspot to greet their fellow guests.
She's no stranger to high-profile Hollywood parties, and last night Aubrey O'Day was in the house for the "Dancing With the Stars" Tour Kick-Off bash in honor of Lance Bass.
The former Danity Kane singer arrived on the red carpet outside the Yamashiro restaurant looking paparazzi-ready in a floor-length flowy silver dress as she threw out a few poses.
It's not the most obvious choice for a film screening locale, but last night Paris Hilton took her new movie "Repo! The Genetic Opera" to the masses at the Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood that also happened to be playing host to Lance Bass's birthday party.
Joined by her boyfriend Benji Madden, who sported a black DCMA t-shirt and black jeans, Miss Hilton looked sultry in a black corset-style top, black leather jacket, and skin-tight vinyl pants.
It was a busy night last night for Kim Kardashian, who attended not one, but two big industry parties. And of course she had different fabulous outfits for both.
The "Disaster Movie" stopped by the 944 Los Angeles edition Two Year Anniversary and MTV VMA party at the Kress in Hollywood, California.
Enjoying a low-key afternoon with her boyfriend Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian was spotted grabbing some grub at West Hollywood eatery Ed's Coffee Shop yesterday (July 21).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" hottie looked sporty in a white tank top/white sports bra combo with a pair of skin tight black workout Capri pants and white sneakers.
One of the favorite pastimes of celebrities is restaurant investment. Everyone from Britney Spears to Ashton Kutcher has their hand in an eatery, and now Justin Timberlake's trying his at some Southern Hospitality.
The new restaurant is in New York City, and he was there to celebrate the grand opening on Wednesday night. Southern Hospitality is a Memphis-style barbecue joint, specializing in ribs, biscuits, and corn and crab fritters.

Scupper drain installation advice needed
3 Attachment(s)
In a previous thread I mentioned that I have a yankee gutter issue. This thread is to replace the roof drain that receives the runoff from those gutter.
Before pictures showing the existing roof drain and what it looks like below the roof deck.
To be honest, I couldn't find any roofer locally who have experience, so I researched it myself and decided I want to use a scupper drain, and hired a roofer who seemed willing to take on the challenge, but have never done one.
I settled on the Zurn Z187 drain at the bottom of this page.
The installation instructions are here but it is not entirely clear.
Here is a picture of the drain.
Here is what the roofer did.
First, he demo the existing portion of the gutter. Cut out the existing metal gutter liner, and the membrane over it.
Here is the existing metal liner that was on top of the gutter, one single piece.
Next, he built a depressed box with 2x4 and plywood to set the scupper drain into. That work is solid, the drain sits nicely in it.
Next, he laid a piece of lead flashing into this box. We debated whether it may be better to use aluminum or galvanized, but he felt better with lead because it is easier to manipulate. The flashing covers around the lip of the drain inlet. Then he applied some mastic over the top of the lead flashing to seal the flashing to the drain. This is where I am a bit confused. I know from the instructions, the flashing goes OVER the perimeter of the scupper drain. I am not sure where this black mastic is involved.
Then he applied some roofing paper on top of the lead flashing, and the roofing paper again goes over the "lip" of the drain. Then he added more of the sticky black mastic, and then threw some granules on top of that.
Then he put the silver colored metal "rim" on top, and secured with the bolts.
This created two problems.
First, between the drain lip and the clamping collar, are now many layers. Above the drain lip is a layer of mastic, then the lead flashing, then more mastic, then roofing paper, then more mastic then granules, then the collar. Is this right? I am thinking, all it is needed is the flashing. The granules, will end up causing leak, I think...right?
Second, because it has so many layers, the clamp collar now sits 1/4" above the bottom of the finished surface. That means there will be 1/4" of water always sitting there. If he just put the flashing over the lip, and cut the roofing paper around the edge of the collar, it will end up being flushed vertically.
So both the roofer and myself are not experienced with this. I looked at the installation instructions on Zurn, and it didn't say.
Would really appreciate some feedback on this. Thanks in advance!
Holy Schnikies!! That is the wrong application for that drain, but you managed to hack up your roof system and get it to function...A typical scupper usually looks like this: http://www.edgeroofing.com/images/sherwood/IMGP2466.JPG
You really wanted to go with a traditional drain assembly that looks kind of like this: http://www.froetindustries.com/image...rain_trans.gif Notice it has a side drain port to connect to your existing down spout. Here's one installed: http://palmerroofing.net/images/2prod.jpg
As for the 1/4" Lip, that's pretty common in flat roof applications. Just make sure there is no real ponding (pools larger than a foot or two in diameter) and you'll be fine. A 1/4" of water at the lip won't be there for long and will evaporate off.

We started off with the round roof drain. However the clearance below was not enough for a bottom inlet drain with an elbow added. If you look at picture #2, there is not much room below the deck to have the drain assembly concealed above the soffit. Secondly, since the gutter was sloped, putting in a round drain as is would mean the drain will be tilted up.
Which started me thinking of building a depressed box and using a scupper.
3 Attachment(s)
Any comment about the clamp collar and the drain lip? Is the various layers there OK or should we clean it up and tweak it?
3 Attachment(s)
I was debating between a round drain with a side outlet vs a scupper drain. The issue with the side inlet round drain is the gutter is sloped, and I didn't want to put in a round drain with 12" diameter so the drain center end up sitting an inch higher than the low point. The low point is right at the edge so there is no way to put the drain in the center of it. Furthermore, it will also mean the elbow below has to tilt up a little to follow the gutter cross slope. So plumbing that will be a challenge.
I then decided whether it is a round drain or scupper, I should build a box or a nitch for it offset from the gutter a bit.
I ended up with the scupper which I noticed used a lot for balcony edges.
I am still wondering between the flashing collar and the drain lip, is it ok to have mastic and granules there or should just be flashing? I am concerned about leakage after this bakes in the sun and expansion contraction of the plywood box causing movements.
It should be ok. The drain lead should have been large enough to land on the top of the box that was created. The existing roofing should have been overlapped by the drain lead. Also I hope he put mastic on both sides of the drain lead. Then he should have installed 2-3 plys of felt all set in mastic and over laped on to the existing roofing. Then a granulated cap sheet to top it all of. All set in cold ap or mastic. The drain ring is fine, they all generally sit a bit above the roof level.
I have spent 25 years in the roofing business and in all those years we only had one job where these types of drains were the best option and that was sad because these are not good drains. These drains also do not meet the standards strainer free area requirement throughout all the sizes. This may not be an issue for you it depends on how much area you are draining to this drain. They are also very hard to keep watertight. Look at the membrane clamp it is cut at the 90 degree. This is the highest contraction point and it has the least compressive strength. Also look at the bolt areas there is what a total of ¼ of compression. Built-up roofing materials do not like 90 degree bends that is why cant strips exist. It makes a 90 degree in to two 45s. This is industry standard. Single plys will conform to a 90 degree. I am sorry, when it starts to leak it will be right at the 90 degree bend or at one of the bolts and probably at the bolts because it is holding water due to the fact that the drain was installed too high. A properly installed drain has the top of the drain ring/clamping collar level or lower than the surrounding roof membrane. Anything else is not a proper installation. This is why low slope roofing has such a bad reputation the details are done wrong more time than not. Your best option would have been to install a scupper as before but with a round outlet that could be no-hubed to PVC pipe because the downspout was your main problem. So if this turns into a big problem down the road have a good sheet metal company build you a box scupper that will fit into this area with positive slope and have flanges that extend to the top surface around the recessed area with a round outlet to connect to PVC piping. What is the possibility of closing it off and pushing the water off the end of the roof? No picture of that so didnt know if that was possible. Good Luck
that is the wrong type of scupper for that roof right shape wrong type
2nd thing mastic and paper omg no way leak.
3rd that roofer had no idea what he was doing
4th its a easy job to torch that new drain in get a real roofer in there to do it

Dolphin Music's Buying Guide to Soundcards
16 10 2006 02:59
You'll need to get sounds into and out of your computer when producing music, so some kind of 'interface' should be on your shopping list. You might think that you already have the necessary connections, but many of today's interfaces come with multiple inputs and outputs (for recording bands and outputting to multi-channel surround systems), bundled software, on board sounds and, in some cases, much more, so really are worthy and cost-effective additions to your computer music set-up. In this part of the Dolphin Computer Music guide we'll discuss all of the interfacing options currently available…
We have worked hard to create one of the safest online shopping environments in the industry. We have been trading online since 1999 & have served thousands of customers over this time.

how much bore can a 307 handle??
Can a stock 307 be safely bored to 4.00, and will the cylinder walls handle this much pressure?
those old stock 307 were very porous motors. sometimes a overbore yields a scrap motor.
but i believe the answer is yes, i can be overbored to 4.00.
I have never heard anyone discuss rebuilding a 307 before. What are your plans for this engine? How will you build it up? What will you run it in?
See i have this theroy that a lot of 350`s in hot rods are really 305`s or 307`s(In descise). I think this holds true even more for the ,rigs that are not built by the owner.Like store bought!!!! Please let us know your plans for your engine. I am truely interested.
I don`t think i spell descise right??????
Slider in Wa.
The current plans is to bore to 4.00, using the taller z28 pistons, and the eagle "h" beam rods. Is this a good combo or is my mech. just trying to unload some spare parts? THANKS DY
Im sorry, using the 400 "H" beam rods. He says this will be a high torque high rever! THANKS DY
The idea of boring a 307 .125" over has been around for along time. 30 years ago, the failure rate was about 1 in 10. Today you would have to take into account water jacket corrosion and such. A sonic check would be the only way to tell for sure. With 4" blocks so easy to get..... Don't know if I would go there or not.
Another thing to think on, the 302 pistons all had a tall dome. .350" was average. 11-1 with a 64cc head. Add another 1/4 to the stroke and compression will go higher. If the pistons are TRWs they will have a thick top and can be milled to drop the compression a bit. I think TRW is the only ones still making a 302 piston off shelf.
You can still use the 307 block if you have to. A 283 has the same pin height as the 302. A .030 or .060 over 283 piston will work with the 5.565" 400 rod and a 3.25" 307 crank. Will leave you about .035" in the hole. At .060 over you should get about 316 cubic inches. Almost the 327 you are talking now.
If you want more torque, a 305/350 crank can be added. Use the 307 piston and 400 rod. You can get a 339 inch high torque set up that a set of vortec heads will accent nicely. Dan
sounds like your builder is trying to get rid of all his oddball parts. use a 4.00 bore block and forget all the other stuff, use a 3.25 stroke 5.7 rod for a 327 or a 3.48 stroke 5.7 rod for a 350.

You need another mechanic.

You are spending $$$ for a weird, odd ball setup that is not anything special.
Just go find a 350 and be happy
I would get a new mechanic. If you try to bore a 307 out to 4" you'll also need a plumber!

I'm Sheryl, the person behind The CentsAble Shoppin.
Thanks for visiting my site – if you found your way to this page, I'm humbled that you stayed long enough to read more about my family and I. With the sheer number of frugal blog sites available on the internet, it truly means a lot to me that you have landed here on mine.
I'm a mom of 4, wife to 1 and have one more baby on the way. I love saving money – and over the last 6 years we have managed to knock out ALL of our consumer debt (including over $100K in Student Loans for our Bachelor's and Master's Degrees). We cut back, lived under our means, paid for things in cash and ditched the "urge" to shop in order to save.
Saving money does not mean clipping coupons and slaving over your grocery budget either. We believe wholeheartedly what what you eat plays a huge part in your health – we love supporting our local farmers, very rarely if ever do we shop at the traditional grocery store. I love to cook from scratch and we make most if not all of our food that way – it's the best way to save. Eating better, healthy, organic and real food is not much more expensive – it requires you to make a shift in your mindset and some changes in your household but it CAN be done!
Some other random facts:
I love the Military. Not only did we serve, I spent 8 years working in the Army in the area of recruiting. I gave high school students valid career guidance that helped guide them after graduation.
I have been married for 15 years. We have FOUR kids – Wendy is 9, Rylan is 6, Easton is 4, and Eliora is 2. We have a 5th on the way – due in July, 2016. We love children and are excited to bring another into the world.
I am originally from a rural farm town in Minnesota. I have a love/hate relationship with cold weather and snow. I visit up there often.
I love Essential Oils! They are a huge part of our health, and continued wellness. We use them daily for everything from personal wellness to household cleaning, emotional support & more. See more of our Oily posts HERE.

On another note:
With proper shot placement, a .22 can kill the same as a larger caliber can kill. If you die from a gunshop wound, would you really care if it was a .22 that did you in or a .45? The result at the end of the day is the same; dead is dead.

Happy New Year everyone!
I hope that this year proves to be prosperous and glorious for you. As we settle into this new year, I couldn't help but think about the things that I have, the things that I'm thankful for, and the experiences that I intend to have in my lifetime. And I thought, why not share some of the things that I have, the things that I'm grateful for, and the things that I will have (in a roundabout way) with you? You guys are interested, right? So, sit down, grab a glass of wine or a cup of apple cider (both are equally yummy), get some popcorn (and a ketchup shaker from Kernels if you dare), and read on…
1. Hope
Seriously, hope is life sustaining. Life can be rough as hell sometimes (believe me, I've been there and bought the t-shirt on tough times and tough circumstances), but what gets you through life is having hope (and even faith) that things will eventually get better. They just have to, right? Things can't be bad forever, and things are always changing (that's the ebb and flow of life). There is always the possibility of a series of circumstances coming along to change your life for the better. And just think, especially when things go really sour in your life, the only way to go is up. So, dear readers please have hope; keep it alive, let it have wings, and let it keep you going, because it will.

Unreal is a first-person shooter video game developed by Epic MegaGames, Digital Extremes, and Legend Entertainment and published by GT Interactive in April 1998. It was powered by an original game engine that now bears the game's name, and had been in development for over three years in founder Tim Sweeney's garage before the game was released.
Since the release of Unreal, the franchise has had one sequel and two different series based on the Unreal universe. One official bonus pack, the Epic-released Fusion Map Pack, can be downloaded free of charge. Unreal Mission Pack: Return to Na Pali was released in June 1999, and added 17 new missions to the single player campaign of Unreal. Unreal and Return to Na Pali would later be bundled together as Unreal Gold. Additionally, the games were updated to run on the Unreal Tournament version of the game engine.
The player takes on the part of Prisoner 849, aboard the prison spacecraft Vortex Rikers. During transport to a moon-based prison, the ship is pulled to an uncharted planet before reaching its destination. The ship crash-lands on the lip of a canyon on the planet Na Pali, home of the Nali, a primitive tribal race of four-armed humanoids. The Nali and their planet have been subjugated by the Skaarj, a race of brutish yet technologically advanced reptilian humanoids. Skaarj troops board the downed Vortex Rikers and kill the remaining survivors, except for Prisoner 849, who manages to find a weapon and escape from the ship.
The planet Na Pali is rich in "Tarydium", a mineral that is found as light blue crystals, which possesses a high energy yield and utility that is the reason the Skaarj have invaded. The ship has crashed near one of the many Tarydium mines and processing facilities that the Skaarj have built. Prisoner 849 travels through the mines, meeting Nali slaves and eventually entering the ruins of Nali temples, villages and cities, where the extent of the Nalis' suffering and exploitation are made clear.
Throughout the game the player stumbles across the remains of other humans, often with electronic journals that detail their last days and hint at the cause of their demise. Usually the tales are of desperate struggles to hide from the Skaarj or other bloodthirsty inhabitants of the planet. The player never meets another live human aside from a wounded crew member on the bridge of the prison ship who gasps and dies immediately. Prisoner 849 is likely the only human alive on the planet Na Pali throughout the game.
Prisoner 849 continues to make their way through a series of alien installations, a second crashed human spaceship, and ancient Nali temples infested with Skaarj troops and their minions, eventually arriving at the Nali Castle. Inside the castle, the prisoner locates a teleporter that leads to the Skaarj Mothership. The mothership proves to be a vast labyrinth, but Prisoner 849 manages to find the ship's reactor and destroys it, plunging the vessel into darkness. After navigating the corridors in the dark, the player arrives at the Skaarj Queen's chamber and kills her. Prisoner 849 jumps into an escape pod as the mothership disintegrates. Although the prisoner survives the Skaarj, the escape pod is left to float into space, with slim hopes of being found.
Expansion plot[edit]
The expansion, Return to Na Pali, developed by defunct Legend Entertainment, picks up not long after Unreal's ending; Prisoner 849 is found by a human warship, the UMS Bodega Bay. Upon learning of the prisoner's identity, the UMS (the Unified Military Services) conscripts them into service, forcing the prisoner to return to Na Pali in order to locate the downed ship UMS Prometheus. There, the prisoner is to retrieve some weapons research. In return, the prisoner will receive a full pardon and transportation back to Earth, though the real plan is revealed to be maintaining the secrecy of the mission by killing the prisoner immediately after the information is secured.
Upon arriving at the Prometheus, Prisoner 849 finds the secret weapons log, but soon after, they find a working radio communicator nearby. The prisoner listens to a recently recorded and archived conversation between the Bodega Bay and a nearby space station, the UMS Starlight, exposing the military's treachery. As Prisoner 849 transmits the research log, a squad of marines beam on board the ship, intending to eliminate the prisoner, who manages to escape into a nearby mine system.
Once again, Prisoner 849 is forced to traverse a series of alien facilities and Nali temples in an attempt to locate another way off the planet. Eventually the prisoner ends up at another Nali Castle, where a small space shuttle is stored. After fighting through Skaarj, the prisoner manages to take off in the spacecraft. However, the Bodega Bay is waiting in orbit, and launches a missile at the prisoner's ship. The prisoner outmaneuvers the missile, and leads it back on a collision course with the Bodega Bay. The large ship is disabled by the ensuing blast, and Prisoner 849 escapes into space.
The Unreal game engine was seen as a major rival to id Software's id Tech 2 engine, and the Unreal game itself was considered to be technically superior to Quake II,[citation needed] which was out on the market at the same time (between December 1997 and May 1998). Originally, Unreal was going to be a Quake-style shooter—earlier screens showed a large status bar and centered weapons, similar to Doom and Quake.
As development progressed, various levels were cut from development. A few of these levels reappeared in the Return to Na Pali expansion pack. A number of enemies from early versions are present in the released software, but with variations and improvements to their look. One monster that didn't make the cut was a dragon. One of the weapons shown in early screenshots was the "Quadshot"—a four-barreled shotgun, The model remains in-game, while there is no code for the weapon to function (several player-made modifications bring the weapon back in the game). Another weapon shown was a different pistol, however this may have just been an early version of the Automag. At one point, the rifle could fire three shots at once, which is wrongly stated as the alternate fire in the Unreal manual that comes with Unreal Anthology.
Since Unreal came packaged with its own scripting language called UnrealScript, it soon developed a large community on the Internet which was able to add new mods (short for "modifications") in order to change or enhance gameplay. This feature greatly added to the overall longevity of the product and provided an incentive for new development. A map editor and overall complete modification program called UnrealEd also came with the package.
Unreal's method of creating maps differs in major ways from that of Quake. The bundled UnrealEd map editor uses the Unreal engine to render scenes exactly as they appear in-game, as opposed to external editors like Worldcraft attempting to recreate it with different methods. Whereas Quake maps are compiled from a variety of different components, Unreal maps are inherently editable on the fly. This allows anybody to edit any map that is created, including the maps included with the game.
Unreal was the first game to implement EAX 1.0 (Environmental Audio Extensions) features.
The Unreal engine brought a host of graphical improvements. Unreal's software renderer allowed software features as rich as the hardware renderers of the time, including colored lighting and even a limited form of texture filtering referred to by developer Tim Sweeney as an ordered "texture coordinate space" dither.[1] Early pre-release versions of Unreal were based entirely on software rendering.
Unreal was one of the first games to utilize detail texturing. This type of multiple texturing enhances the surfaces of objects with a second texture that shows material detail. When the player stands within a small distance from most surfaces, the detail texture will fade in and make the surface appear much more complex (high-resolution) instead of becoming increasingly blurry.[2] Notable surfaces with these special detail textures included computer monitors, pitted metal surfaces aboard the prison ship, golden metal doors, and stone surfaces within Nali temples. This extra texture layer was not applied to character models. The resulting simulation of material detail on game objects was intended to aid the player's suspension of disbelief. For many years after Unreal's release (and Unreal Tournament's release), detail texturing only worked well with the S3 MeTaL and Glide renderer. It was, in fact, disabled in the Direct3D renderer by default (but could be re-enabled in the Unreal.ini file) due to performance and quality issues caused by the driver, while it was present even on hardware many times more powerful than the original S3 Savage3D and 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics.
Because of Unreal's long development time, the course of development occurred during the emergence and rapid progression of hardware 3D accelerators. So, along with the advanced software 3D renderer, Unreal was built to take advantage of the 3Dfx Glide API, which emerged as the dominant interface towards the end of the game's development. When Unreal was finally released, Microsoft's Direct3D API was growing almost exponentially in popularity and Epic was fairly quick to develop a renderer for their game engine. However, the Direct3D renderer, released initially to support the new Matrox G200, was less capable and slower than the Glide support, especially in the beginning when it was unstable, slow, and had many graphics quality issues.[3] Unreal also had official OpenGL support.

While many game companies went from FM synthesis or General MIDI in the early 1990s to CD audio and pre-rendered audio, many of the Epic Games used the less common system of module music, composed with a tracker, which used stored PCM sound samples of musical instruments sequenced together to produce music. Epic had been using this technology for other games such as Jazz Jackrabbit and One Must Fall: 2097, which allowed relatively rich music to be stored in files usually smaller than one megabyte.[4] Also Ion Storms' Deus Ex used the XM format for its soundtrack. This technology allowed easy implementation of dynamic music for mood changes in Unreal. The Unreal soundtrack was written by MOD music authors Alexander Brandon and Michiel van den Bos with a few selected tracks by Dan Gardopée and Andrew Sega. Unreal's music engine also supports CD audio tracks.
Community patch support[edit]
In July 2000 the official support ended with patch 2.26f by Epic MegaGames. Therefore, with the awareness and permission of Epic, the fan community started the OldUnreal Community patch project based on the original source code in 2008.[5] The latest patch iteration, 2.27i, released in November 2012, features new graphics rendering like DirectX 9, updated OpenGL, new sound rendering based on OpenAL and fixes many incompatibilities with modern operating systems and hardware. It also contains the in Unreal Tournament introduced UnrealED2. In 2015 Tim Sweeney announced that he hoped to one day be able to release the engine as open source to the public.[6]
Mac OS[edit]
The Mac version was released in parallel with the PC version. It supported RAVE hardware acceleration as well as 3DFX's Voodoo, built-in software rendering and, later on, OpenGL rendering. RAVE acceleration support allowed the game to support hardware 3D acceleration with just about every Mac that included it. It also supported Apple's Game Sprockets.
The last update for the Mac OS port was version 224b, which breaks network compatibility between it and the PC version, as well as lacking support for some user-created content made for 225 and 226f. Westlake Interactive, the company responsible for the port, claimed that previous patches were produced voluntarily in their free time, beyond their contractual obligations.[7] They also stated that they did not receive the code for the 225 patch and that it had become unavailable due to Epic moving on to develop version 226.
An unofficial content port of the single-player maps to Linux was created by several users of icculus.org, which allowed the Unreal single-player game content to be run as a modification for Unreal Tournament.[8][9][10] The online retailer Tux Games at one point sold a box set including the Linux version.[11][12] The 227 community patch contains a full Linux port for Unreal.
Two novels titled Hard Crash and Prophet's Power were published, expanding on the premise and story first introduced in Unreal. Prophet's Power, numbered as the second book in the series, is actually a prequel to the first, Hard Crash; thus it is harder for readers to understand what happened in the story. On 23 June 2014, a book called Escape to Na Pali: A Journey to the Unreal was published.[13] It is an adventure to the world of Unreal, written by Kaitlin Tremblay and Alan Williamson.[14][15]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2015)
Unreal was very well-received upon release, and has since sold over one million copies worldwide. Critics praised the graphics, gameplay, atmosphere, enemy behavior, and bot support in multiplayer, but criticized the lag-ridden online multiplayer.

prayer IS THE FEED OF SOUL
His Holiness Sudhanshuji Maharaj
Prayer is the medium of offering the feelings of your mind to God. Prayer is the feed of soul which is produced in the heart. In the preparation of this feed there is the need of feelings only. The tears which emerge out soaked with feelings help cook the feed and the long recitations of mantras act as spices.
The mind is restive and it continues to be distracted that is why the words of your prayers said at one time would not match with the words uttered at a different time. The mugged up words of a prayer are uttered by the lips which have no associations with the feelings. There is, therefore, no use of offering such prayers. There is neither a specific time nor a designated location for offering prayers. While travelling if your mind gets filled up with compassion for a helpless person on the way, it is for sure that words will come out of your mouth, "O God, please comfort this helpless soul, be kind to him, and relieve him of his pains." Your steps will move towards him for his help – this is the true prayer filled with positive feelings. [from Prarthana book]

Nissan Australia Under Fire After Awarding Micra to Facebook Manager's BFF
Nissan Australia is fighting a public relations backlash after it was announced that the winner of a Facebook contest it held turned out to be best friends with a staffer managing the site. Far more than just a free t-shirt or a mug, the winner received a shiny new Nissan Micra, and a $1,250 gift card.
Nissan didn't attempt to hide the identity of the winner either, announcing that Zac Martin of Victoria was the proud new owner of a Micra and commenting, "Congratulations Zac. Hope you enjoy the Micra. However, we say with all honesty and the best of intentions, we wish you hadn't won!!!"
In the same post on the Nissan Micra Australia Facebook page, it goes on to explain that the page's manager, Simon Oboler, is friends with Martin. In fact, Oboler described Martin on his personal blog as his "BFF" (best friend forever).
"We know how this sounds!" the post continues. "The reality is that he won fair and square and all is fully above board. The problem is that it will raise doubts in some people's minds and gossip and conspiracy theories will surface."
That they most certainly did with commenters on the post saying they'll never buy a Nissan and demanding that the automaker show proof that the contest wasn't rigged.
Nissan says it can limit participation by family members and employees, but not friends.
The contest, called Micraspotting, had competitors find hidden pictures of the Micra on Facebook pages belonging to bars, entertainment venues and clothing stores.
Nissan is sticking with its plan to award Martin the Micra despite the backlash and has said based on feedback it is looking at future contests, although with some changes.
The post on the Nissan Micra Australia Faceboook page continues. "Congrats once again Zac. Well done. Please don't ever enter any of our comps again!"

The Hilliard Ensemble may not have the longevity of the wrinkliest rockers but they've been around a while. Last night's concert, part of Spitalfields Music Winter Festival, took place 40 years to the day after the group's debut. Only one founder member remains but if the top can ever be the foundation, David James's falsetto has always been what supports the Hilliards' intricate vocal harmonies.
With the current quartet augmented by four ex-Hilliards, the celebration turned into a reunion. The repertoire spanned nine centuries, starting around 1200AD with French composer Pérotin. The Hilliards make his music defiantly modern, abstract in its approach to verbal meaning, nearly minimalist in the way it weaves around a low vocal drone. It inaugurated an extended sequence of religious pieces, elaborate works for four singers alternating with more austere plainchant. While the voices are no longer youthful, their precision remains intact.
Modernity arrived with Benjamin Britten's Journey of the Magi, a former Hilliard playing the piano with an on-the-hoof freedom that Britten would have enjoyed. The best, however, came last; the premiere of Roger Marsh's Poor Yorick found the Hilliards negotiating its droll text and playful rhythms with deadpan wit.Reuse content

2.) $5K? Good luck. I think VF Engineering is the lowest cost alternative and you may be able to pick one up for something in the $5K park. Contact JLeviSW if you're interested.
3.) Good investment/worth, completely subjective.
4.) Let's not compare the step tranny in the 335i to the one in the E46. Different generation car, different transmission.
5.) Fuel economy does not go down
. Please all a compressor does is force more air into the engine, it's the larger injectors dumping more fuel into the cylinders, and the heavy foot you develop that contributes to the decreased mileage. It's not like the car gets Hummer H1 gas mileage now.
I don't know about a 325 step, but a 330 5 - Speed will still see about 20 MPG in stop and go city driving even with a heavy foot.
: I think you would really be stressing your transmission with those kinds of mods AND a supercharger... proceed with caution. I'd suggest that you speak to MANY different supercharger kit manufactures and see what they say. Don't focus in on only one company as
they'd be willing to sell you a kit even if it isn't the best idea for keeping your transmission in one piece. Technik, ESS, AA, VF-E should all be contacted IMO and consolidate their responses.

I actually heard my M3 (on KW V2) cry this morning driving into government center. Don't know where you're working but good call not bringing yours into the city. Although there was zero parking spots at the t station this morning that's why I had to drive in. Then paid $35 for 2 hours parking. So get to the t stations early or if you're parking in the garage make sure there's always a spot for monthly pass holders!!
As far as nightlife. I haven't actually gone out here (been away for 5 years) but I heard Marina Bay in Quincy is really nice, although very classy and expensive. I also heard Club Guilt is good.
I love this city and I always said MA is awesome. But in reality it sucks balls. The state has too much control they limit freedom. Vehicle laws are stupid. Gun laws are painful! And everyone says mass state PD is such a respected and well trained and prepared organization, eh not so much after seeing them work. Hope you like it here!!

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona men's and women's cross country teams have announced their schedule for the 2014 season. After a 2013 campaign that saw the Lumberjack men claim second in the nation, and the Lumberjack women finish second in the Big Sky, NAU fans can now see what's in store for 2014.
NAU will open the season at home on Sept. 6, as it hosts the George Kyte Invitational at Buffalo Park.
"It's the only time we typically get to host," said Director of Track & Field and Cross Country. Eric Heins. "It'll be good to have friends and family come out to watch both teams compete. It's always an exciting event."
The Lumberjacks will take a two-week break before traveling down the mountain to compete at the Dave Murray Invitational hosted by the University of Arizona. On Oct. 4, NAU will take a trip to the northwest to compete in a meet in Seattle that will be hosted by the University of Washington.
"We typically move around during this weekend, but to stay on the west coast and to be able to go up to Washington will be something different for us."
Another highly competitive meet for the Lumberjacks will be the Adidas Wisconsin Invitational on Oct. 17. Last year, the NAU men won the meet by a solid 53 points, defeating the likes of BYU, Portland and host Wisconsin.
The Lumberjacks' "last chance" meet will be the Arizona State Invite on Oct. 24. That meet will give NAU its third in the state of Arizona and another opportunity for Lumberjack fans to cheer on the blue and gold locally.
The University of North Dakota will be the host of this year's Big Sky Conference Championship. The meet will be held on Nov. 11 at the Ray Richards Golf Course.
The NCAA Mountain Regional Championship will be held in Albuquerque, N.M., while Terre Haute, Ind. will once again be the site of the NCAA Cross Country Championship.
