Travis Barker has been booking a punk/tattoo festival down the street from me for the past two years called Musink and it was announced on KROQ that Blink 182 are headlining it and that Tom DeLonge is being replaced by Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio http://kroq.cbslocal.com/2015/01/26/...yelawolf-more/
from http://kroq.cbslocal.com/2015/01/26/...-indefinitely/
Matt Skiba of the Alkaline Trio will join Blink-182 in replacement of Tom DeLonge at the 8th annual Musink Music and Tattoo Festival. "We were all set to play this festival and record a new album and Tom kept putting it off without reason. A week before we were scheduled to go in to the studio we got an email from his manager explaining that he didn't want to participate in any Blink-182 projects indefinetly, but would rather work on his other non-musical endeavors." Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus plan to honor all Blink-182 commitments including the Musink Festival and are excited to have singer/guitarist Matt Skiba join them for this project. "No hard feelings, but the show must go on for our fans." Additionally, Skiba will continue to make new music and tour with the Alkaline Trio.''

i am willing to make big unique text Style pack for that Can a video as help file can be in be included in main file?
I think better option is to include in main files, for example in help.pdf or help.txt a link to video online (Vimeo, Youtube etc.).
Yes, of course it will help. You can put it in the description. If you know the html code for posting a youtube video on a page it would be an advantage. Best of luck!
samiulhaque said
can't i just include the video in .zip file?
You probably could, but the file size would be huge for uploading and downloading.
that true
I think it's possible to include in the package, but why do that when you can just upload the file to a video sharing service, which would help save bandwidth, reduce package size, and more over to save you in case the buyer cannot open your video file
Do not put it in the .zip file you will get soft rejected. I did this myself and we'll learned the hard way lol just upload your video to YouTube or your video service choice and make a link to it in the description. For yur help file just do a .pdf or .txt file. You can even post a link to your video in the help file.
Yes, once on youtube, link back to your file after it's accepted. Great cross promotion.
Create an help file in .html format that includes the video embedded from yt or vimeo.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/8/2014 (1045 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Amanda Thornborough will wait until after the IRB Women's Rugby World Cup is over to think about what it means to her to play at the pinnacle of the sport in the 15s game.
Thornborough is part of the Canadian team that will take on the hosts from France in a semifinal match today (TSN, 1:15 p.m.) and although she won't play, the Brandon native said the scope of the event has been amazing.
"I try not to think about because it stresses me out a little bit, but it's just great to think that I'm at the most prestigious tournament that there is in women's rugby," she said. "With the Olympics approaching (rugby sevens will debut as a medal sport in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro) this is really it until then, but I just try and think that it's like any other game."
The Canadians have posted two wins and a tie so far at the World Cup, with Thornborough playing in Canada's second match, a 42-7 victory over Samoa. Thornborough set up a Canadian try in that match and the 24-year-old centre said it was a thrill to see some game action.
"It was pretty amazing. I was thrilled to come on the field and as a younger player I'm happy to get any minutes that I get," said Thornborough, who lives and trains in Victoria. "There's two amazing centres I really look up to that have been on the starting lineup, so I'm just learning lots from them. And playing against Samoa was a great physical game, so I was up for the challenge."
Since she hasn't been playing much, Thornborough has focused on practising hard to help her teammates prepare and to continue her own improvement while she waits for her next opportunity.
While she has played in front of as many as 75,000 fans for the Hong Kong Sevens tournament, which features men's and women's teams, the crowds the World Cup is drawing in France are beyond anything Thornborough has seen for the women's game before. And the intensity will only grow for today's match in Paris, where the Canadians will try to spoil the party.
"It's been pretty great," she said. "The two-week pre-camp leading up to it really brought us together and being here at the tournament and seeing all the spectators, it's just really a phenomenon. There's supposed to be record-breaking spectators at our semifinal, I think, 40,000 or something; it's incredible."

Question on newly planted 55 gallon tank?
I have a newly planted tank, about 5-6 weeks now. It is low tech, 3 32w 6500k bulbs for lights and only dosing with excel once a day.
My plants have started getting brown tips at ends of leaves and I'm getting alot of brown type buildup on some leaves. I have some vallisneria and microswords and a bunch of diff types of anubias. We have hard water with a ph around 8-8.2. I have some driftwood and probable need more to drop ph some more. Is the high ph the problem with plants? or ami doing something else wrong or need to do? Keeping water temp around 80 since I have angels and german blue rams in tank.
Any helps and suggestions appreciated. Oh, and is there anything that can clean the leaves of the plants? the brown type buildup on some leaves is not very attractive. It seems mostly built up on the vallisneria and microswords.
Are the actual leaves turning brown or is it just gunk on the leaves?
Since your tank is new it may be diatoms or brown algae.
If its gunk, does it wipe off easily?
The tips on some of the plants are definitely dying back. The brown gun all over on other plants are fuzzy and wipe off but with difficulty. The fuzzy stuff is mostly on the valls and microswords.
Are you adding fertilizers? Also, the plants could still adjusting to your hard water conditions. As for any Brown Diatoms on the plant leaves, pop in a few otocinclus http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/my...nclus_vittatus
No fertilizers just flurish excel. Should i add fertilizer?
What light fixture are you using, a shop light, for example? And, what is the substrate? A substrate that lacks any nutrients works, but you then need to dose NPK and trace elements.

Pileated Woodpecker, Dryocopus pileatus
Sometimes called the "logcock", the Pileated is America's largest commonly seen woodpecker. While it's no Gene Simmons, it has one of the longer tongues in the bird world, which it uses to root carpenter ants, its favorite treat, out of stumps and fallen logs. Despite its size, this elegant woodpecker is often shy and hard to observe. Obtaining a close view of one usually requires careful stalking—but its distinctive call and showy plumage are worth the effort. This ringtone is the pileated's song, which it uses to advertise its presence to the opposite sex and stake out it's territory. Learn more about this species

I'm learning quickly, but there's something I'd like to do. I have had members on the network all day, then one member came on, started chatting in the main room, and everyone left. It may be a coincidence, but I feel people may have gotten annoyed by the posts... since everyone is messaged, and everyone recieves the chat sound notification. Some people like to be left alone.
I need the reference to the main room chat, and the chat bar module for main chat entry. I want to hide those modules so they are no longer used. The only function I want left, is the member list (chatbar) and private chat message modules that pop up when you click on the name of the member you want to chat with (chatbar)

Home > News & Events > News > Press Releases > The State of the Nation's Housing 2001 Report Released
The State of the Nation's Housing: 2001, released today by The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, finds that despite the weakening economy, home sales entered the year at near record levels, prices and rents continued to climb and residential fixed investment in 2000 was off a mere half percent. "Ordinarily, sharp drops in housing production and slowing home sales take the wind out the economy ahead of other sectors," explains Nicolas P. Retsinas, Director of the Joint Center, "but low interest rates and strong demand have helped housing markets stay strong."
Interest rates also triggered a wave of mortgage refinancing that put cash in the hands of consumers and helped offset other drags on consumer spending. People are leveraging their homes more than ever before; existing homeowners are taking advantage of the mortgage interest rates and rising home values to finance other consumption, while homebuyers are capitalizing on lower down-payment requirements. The remarkable growth in house values notwithstanding, home equity as a share of home value has fallen ten percentage points to postwar lows.
Rising home prices have eroded affordability for many homebuyers. Last year, mortgage costs for the typical homebuyer rose so much faster than income that the rising cost alone absorbed most of the income gain. Rent exceeded inflation for the fourth year in a row. Even though renters' income growth outstripped rent gains in the latter part of the 1990s, the incidence of housing affordability problems barely eased for low-income households and started to increase among moderate-income households.
Despite the booming economy in the second half of the 1990s, one in seven men and one in twelve women between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-four live with their parents and the share of people living in three-generation households also increased. The fact that nearly two-thirds of extremely low-income households spend more than half their incomes on housing is a glaring sign that affordability is a nation-wide problem.
"More and more, it takes two incomes to afford housing for low and moderate income families," explains Retsinas. "In fact, there is no state in which full-time minimum wage work is enough to afford, at 30 percent of income, a two-bedroom apartment at the federal fair-market rent."
Rapidly escalating house prices have raised concerns about the security of recent gains in homeownership. House price appreciation in the current cycle, after adjusting for inflation, now surpasses gains in the 1980s and exceeds twenty percent in many of the nation's large metropolitan areas. "It's only natural that these run ups would heighten concerns about whether they are sustainable," notes Eric Belsky, Executive Director of the Center, "but it will take a much more significant economic downturn than has materialized so far to cause real prices to fall."
Immigration has accounted for one-quarter to one-third of recent household growth, the study finds. Largely due to prospective immigration, minorities are expected to account for fully two-thirds of household growth in the coming decades. Immigrants and domestic-born minorities played a vital role in the 1990s in sustaining central cities and revitalizing neighborhoods. Nonetheless, more minorities as well as whites are leaving central cities than are returning to them. As a result, suburbs continue to outstrip central city population growth in most metropolitan areas and a broad back-to-the city movement sufficient to offset this has yet to occur. Retsinas concludes, "because of their lower average incomes and wealth, many minority households will face special challenges affording higher rents and achieving homeownership in the coming decade."
The research report was released today at the Ford Foundation headquarters in New York. Principal support for this study was provided by the Ford Foundation and the Policy Advisory Board of the Joint Center for Housing Studies. Additional support was provided by the Fannie Mae Foundation, the FHLBanks, Freddie Mac, the Housing Assistance Council, the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, the National Association of Home Builders, the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, the National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies, the National Association of Realtors, the National Council of State Housing Agencies, the National Housing Endowment, the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the National Multi Housing Council, and the Research Institute for Housing America.
Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies is the nation's leading center for information and research on housing in the United States. Established in 1959, the Joint Center is a collaborative unit affiliated with the Harvard Design School and the Kennedy School of Government. Nicolas P. Retsinas has served as Director of the Joint Center for Housing Studies since 1998. Mr. Retsinas was previously Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and a member of the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Eric Belsky, Executive Director of the Joint Center, also serves as the Research Director for the Millennial Housing Commission.
Presentation and Press Conference in New York: The State of the Nation's Housing: 2001 will be presented and discussed Tuesday, June 26, beginning at 11:00 AM at the Ford Foundation, 11th Floor Training Room, 320 East 43rd Street, New York, NY.
Report available online: Beginning June 26, the complete text of the report of The State of the Nation's Housing: 2001 will be available at the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies' website at www.gsd.harvard.edu/jcenter.

Oooh la la I am a bit excited to share this crazy creative pad with you today. It's been a while in coming (we took these shots late last year) but today is finally the DAY! This very eclectic, colourful space is home to two seriously inspiring and overachieving people – social entrepreneur Simon Griffiths, and his partner gallerist Melissa Loughnan (who we have interviewed back here!).
Simon and Mel have been living here for about 2.5 years, having taken on the lease from some friends who lived here beforehand… (because you know, the best rentals are never found in the usual straightforward way!). Though they're renting, Mel and Simon have still managed to personalise their home and make it totally unique! They've filled the space with their impressive art collection – including many works by the artists Mel represents in her gallery, Utopian Slumps.
Not surprisingly, asking Mel to name a 'favourite' artwork is kind of like asking her to pick a favourite child – impossible! 'The artworks are all pieces that we've been given over the years by friends, or that we've collected together, so it's all quite special!' she says! One particularly treasured piece is Thomas Jeppe's 'Light as a log', which was a 30th birthday gift to Mel from Thomas, one of her artists. 'Easey Street' by Jake Walker is also special, bearing the street name where Utopian Slumps was first located (it's now in the CBD).
Aside from their impressive combined art collection, Simon and Mel's home also houses a wonderful mish mash of vintage furniture, collected ephemera and op shop finds. 'When we moved in we didn't have any furniture, or money, so we scoured eBay for a couple of months, and bought a few things that we liked as cheaply as we could' says Mel. 'Most of our furniture is vintage Australian, but we have a couple of imported vintage pieces as well'.
Though Mel and Simon's museum-like collection of 'stuff' certainly gives this home a unique aesthetic, the highlight of the space really is its functional versatility. Both Simon and Mel are self employed, so the home incorporates a generous workspace on the ground floor. 'Our home is very spacious and light-filled, it's a really nice space to live and work in' says Mel. 'We both have businesses in the city, so we're often in and out a few times a day – it's important that we're a short bike ride from the CBD'.
It's been a particularly busy year for Simon, whose two major business projects are both launching this month, after years in development. Both are incredibly inspiring initiatives which fund charitable projects in the developing world. Simon really is such a seriously amazing dude, I just have to give each one a quick plug!
Shebeen is a non-profit bar in Manchester Lane in Melbourne's CBD, opening in the coming weeks (*any day now!). 'Shebeen sells beer and wine from the developing world' explains Simon. 'The profit from each drink sale goes back to an organisation in that drink's country of origin – so an Ethiopian beer helps to provide a rural farmer in Ethiopia with agricultural equipment via Kickstart, and a glass of South African wine will give a local language book to South African school kids via Room to Read. It's been a lot of fun pulling it together – it's the first bar of its kind anywhere in the world' he says.
Who Gives A Crap is Simon's other very clever start-up, which you might have seen in the media over the past few months! Essentially, it's a subscription service for toilet paper (!!), where 50% of the profits go towards building toilets in the developing world. Simon launched a pre-sales campaign in July last year to kick-start this project – you might have seen him sitting on a toilet for 50 hours to get the project off the ground!? HEY, you gotta do what you gotta do! You should TOTALLY support this brilliant and slightly mad initiative – because everyone needs toilet paper! (The first shipment is due in March).
OK THAT'S ALL! See I told you they were over achievers!

Quick GuideBreast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
What Are the Potential Problems With Genetic Testing?
Genetic testing is not 100% accurate. If a test is negative, a person still has a chance of developing breast cancer. If the test is positive, there is still a 15% to 20% chance of not developing breast cancer.
Genetic testing is costly, ranging from about $200 to more than $2,000, depending on the type of test. Insurance policies vary in providing coverage for genetic testing.
The results of genetic tests won't be available for several weeks. The length of time it takes to get results depends on the tests performed and under what circumstances they are done.
Genetic testing is highly controversial in society today, and legislation has been enacted to protect individuals who may have a genetic risk of developing cancer from employment and insurance problems. The best course of action a person can take is to become involved with an established genetic registry that can counsel individuals with a genetic risk for cancer.
What Are the Benefits of Genetic Testing?
For some women, the benefits of genetic testing include the ability to make informed medical and lifestyle decisions while reducing the anxiety of not knowing their genetic background. Another benefit is the ability to make a proactive decision regarding prophylactic surgery. In addition, many women are able to participate in medical research that may in the long run decrease their risk of death from breast cancer.
What About My Privacy?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 prevents insurance companies from denying health insurance based on genetic information, and prevents them from using genetic information to demonstrate that a health condition existed before application was made for insurance. In addition, many states have passed laws or have legislation pending to address insurance concerns.

Moss Hits First Homer Against Aztecs
April 26, 2013
By Theresa Kurtz
By Theresa Kurtz
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Sophomore Brenna Moss hit her first career home run to spark a seventh inning comeback against San Diego State. The Bulldogs (26-21, 7-6 MW) late rally was halted and the Aztecs won 5-3 in the first game of the series on Friday night at SDSU Softball Stadium.
"It was awesome how much heart we showed and battled back late in the game," said Moss. "It's unfortunate that we lost, but it's good that we didn't give up and continued to fight until the end."
Moss' home run brought the `Dogs within two of the Aztecs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
"It was awesome," Moss said of her home run. "She had been throwing me first pitch inside the entire game. I was ready for it."
Senior Diane Runge kept the final inning a live reaching base on an error. Third baseman Vonnie Martin followed with a single through the right side as the tying run got on base with two outs. The Aztecs managed to get out of another jam to win the first of three meetings this weekend.
The Bulldogs collected nine hits against the Aztec ace Rebecca Arbino, while SDSU recorded five hits. Jill Compton made the start for the Bulldogs and struck out four in her 27th start of the year.
The Aztecs' Patrice Jackson recorded all five RBI of the night. Her first two came in the first inning with a two-run home run to left field giving SDSU a 2-0 advantage.
Fresno State threatened in the third inning putting two runners on with a two out rally. Runge and Martin hit back-to-back singles, but were stranded as the Aztecs got out of the jam with a strikeout.
In the bottom of the third, the Aztecs added to their lead with another RBI from Jackson and the Bulldogs trailed 3-0 heading into the fourth inning. Jackson hit her second two-run long ball in the fifth inning to increase the Aztecs lead to 5-0.
Michelle Solomon put the `Dogs on the board after hitting a two-run jack to left field in the sixth inning as the `Dogs trailed 5-2. Solomon has four home runs on the season, which is second most on the team.
In the seventh, Moss hit her first long ball, but the Aztecs halted the Bulldogs rally clinching the win 5-3.
"It's really important for us to win this series because it gives an opportunity at the postseason," Moss said. "It's disappointing that we lost tonight, but we will come back tomorrow."
Fresno State faces San Diego State again on Saturday, April 27 at 1 p.m. at the SDSU Softball Stadium.

TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
The latest results from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) buttress RTB's cosmic creation model. Using a large sample of red galaxies detected in the SDSS, a team of international scientists determined the density of baryons (mainly protons and neutrons) and the total matter density of the universe. The results matched those obtained using a completely independent technique based on the cosmic microwave background. In a good scientific model, future measurements obtained by independent techniques will agree with previous measurements. Such consistency builds confidence in big bang cosmology and, therefore, in RTB's cosmic creation model.

Onion Says: 'No Nobel for You, John Ashbery!'
Ha, ha, ha, ha!! We're catching our breath here, ha ha! The Onion must have been wire-tapping Fort Harriet when they came up with this ditty. Yesterday they reported "Fucking Pathetic John Ashbery Actually Thinks He Has Shot At Nobel Prize In Literature This Year," writing, "Unbelievably pitiful American poet John Ashbery is seriously harboring the belief that he has any chance in hell at winning this year's Nobel Prize in Literature, sources close to the clearly delusional author confirmed Wednesday." They go on to quote one of the leading scholars in English literature, Charles Xu who said:
…Ashbery must be living in a total cuckoo fantasyland if he thinks there is even a remote possibility of him beating out U.R. Ananthamurthy or Alice Munro or even Juan fucking Goytisolo, for Christ's sake. "Does he understand these things aren't given out to just anybody? You can't simply shit out a few reams of verse like Self-Portrait In A Convex Mirror and expect to hang with the big boys like Yasunari Kawabata and Octavio Paz. You just can't."

About Me
I'm not sure if many people actually read these things, but here goes my 100 characters minimum!
I have been modelling on and off for years, but I'd say I probably became more focussed on modelling last summer (2007). I am currently in my last semester of University where I am studying a degree in PR...So in the next few months I want to build up a versatile portfolio for when I graduate and can dedicate more time to modelling.
I am obviously interested in any paid work, but I will definitely consider TFCD if the shots will benefit my portfolio so get in touch.

Truth Through a Soda Straw
John Grant
The truth about American politics is this: disguised by the theatrics of squabbling Democrats and Republicans, Washington governs according to limits prescribed by a fixed and narrow consensus. The two main parties collaborate in preserving that consensus. Doing so requires declaring out-of-bounds anything even remotely resembling a fundamental critique of how power gets exercised or wealth distributed.
-Andrew Bacevich
Barack Obama has two serious leak problems.
One is a real leak -- of oil from the bowels of the Earth into the Gulf of Mexico and onto the shores of the Gulf States. The other is a metaphoric leak -- of information from the vast reservoir of secrecy our military and its wars have become.
Dishonesty, the notion of "too big to fail" and Bacevich's consensus are at the core of both leak problems.
In the case of British Petroleum and the Deepwater Horizon explosion, we know how a back-slapping, good ol' boy network has led to a lack of oversight and regulation. As we learned from the financial disaster, the arrogant single-focus drive for profit leads to corners being cut and, in the case of BP, the absence of any kind of Plan B to deal with great gobs of uncontrollable orange goo gushing from a hole over a mile beneath the sea's surface.
The secrecy leak is different. In this case, President Obama is trying to stop leaks that tap into the too-big-to-fail corruption and dishonesty within a huge enterprise directly under his control: The Pentagon.
The United States Military is the largest self-contained, self-aggrandizing enterprise in the world. As militaries everywhere tend to do, it protects itself as an institution and uses its power to co-opt whatever elements of the culture it feels it needs or can benefit from.
Central America is the perfect small-scale model. In Guatemala, the military is an institution that always trumps elected civilian leadership. In El Salvador, military officers are deeply involved in banks and business ventures. In Honduras, the general who mounted the 2009 coup has been appointed to run the lucrative Hondutel phone system. In fact, the much-ballyhooed one-term limit for presidents in Honduras exists precisely to limit a civilian politician's power vis-à-vis the more stable military institution.
Only naiveté or delusional patriotism explains why Americans do not realize this dynamic also exists here in the US...

There is something wrong with this article. Our president does not have a leak problem in the Gulf; instead, the "People" have a leak problem. And the problem is not the leak it self, it goes much deeper. Or one could say that this is much more simple than all these writers tell us, as though they had no intention to explain this to us and instead just wish to print something that puts them on the page.
Ideologies is what I am talking about. Or should I say, it is the way us humans have been misbehaving. It is about responsibility. Doing the right thing, I suggest you read up on this, and the long article I provided is a very famous paper written by a guy who knew ideologies all to well. He wrote it in a hurry, but spend many hours I am sure trying to articulate this strange animal. It really shows how he had a grasp on this easy topic, by how he uses real simple examples of how "going along to get along" is causing most our big problems.
I once meet these kids who were of native American heritage. I could not help but notice that these young people really seemed to be respectful of others, and I said they must of had a wonderful teacher. And I was so wanting to know this wisdom, and was ready in all my heart to listen to their advice. As though I would need to sit down to hear this all, it must of been a very through lesson taught over many years. So I asked them what all they were taught. They laughed, and said it was there mother. I was curious as to why they thought this was funny. They replied and said that there mother taught them "one thing", and she kept saying this all the time. They said that if you did this one thing, then all other falls into place. It is "responsibility" that was taught.
So I use this lesson now, and apply it to this article written now. There would not be a leak if the employes, my friends, my neighbors; if they would have only been responsible while at their work. If they could have only told us and their boss that what being done for the name of money is wrong. And if their friends like me and you, if only we had been responsible; when we became aware of the problem unfolding. And the wikileaks leak is actually a good kind of leak. It shows us that people can have courage to say the truth even if it hurts. That a message needs to come out of this, and it is this. That when in the military, you should put "truth" above all else. And if you feel you are doing wrong, then you must stop and tell the world. That you just can't "go along" because others want this of you. And if you think the penalties are great for telling the truth; well, the results of these collective inactions is far worse. An example, would be the Gulf Oil Disaster. It is no spill. It is the biggest sign today, showing that the people on this planet are cowards, and need to change their ways. Or else...
Please read the following article, it will change your life; mine too.

I'm sure that you cultured lot will have heard this famous Oscar Wilde quote
There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
This quote to me explains the latest craze of being overly unnecessarily transparent. Pure political spin and attention seeking. Struggling with funding? Someone send some ridiculous emails?
Write about it, wrap it up with some nice self pity and ship it out as a nice dose of transparency.
11 Responses to Transparency
Funny, I just mentioned that this term is wearing on me. It does seem more marketing tactic than culture for many doesn't it?VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Awesome post and quote!
I now no longer wonder to myself, "wow I must be an incredible douche bag because I keep my work guarded."
Although I do have to say that I have learned a great deal over the years from reading about other people's failures and victories. I've received tremendous inspiration from other people's work and processes that they've shared.
But I agree with you that some go overboard with it in a salesy sort of way. There is a time and place for it.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
i'm going to be transparent in saying i'm great for being transparentVA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
It's transparency when you publicly talk about a failure or act of douchery when nobody else knows about it.
It's PR when you publicly talk about a failure or act of douchery when everybody already knows about it.
…in my opinion.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
The recent rush to transparency seems like another instance of mutating and complicating something unnecessarily. In my opinion once factors like intent and objective come into play, we're F****d.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

• G: Fred Gibson 56 pass from David Greene (Billy Bennett kick), 9:21. Drive: 4 plays 80 yards, 1:39. Key play: Tony Milton 16 run on first down.
• G: Bennett 34 field goal, 1:50. Drive: 8 plays 27 yards, 4:17. Key plays: Milton 15 run; Gibson 10 pass from Greene over middle on 3-and-7 for 1st at C21.
• Score: Georgia 10-0.
Second quarter
Both teams botched scoring opportunities with Georgia coming up inches short of a first down at the Clemson 14 when Bennett had to scramble following a high snap on a field goal attempt. The Tigers drove it to the Georgia 4 and a throwback to quarterback Charlie Whitehurst failed when DE Robert Geathers recovered to break it up and then the Tigers missed on a 52-yard field goal attempt. Clemson still could not run the football, netting ony two yards for the quarter.
• G: Bennett 32 field goal, 11:09. Drive: 4 plays 5 yards, :50. Key plays: Sean Jones caught Derrick Hamlton's fumble in mid-air to give Georgia possession at C 18.
• Score: Georgia 13-0
Third quarter
Bulldogs got only a field goal from Bennett but controlled the ball for 20 plays against frustrated Tigers who could gain only 39 yards. Highlight of the quarter was holding the Bulldogs on downs at the Tiger three.
• G: Bennett 42 field goal, 4:32. Drive: 4 plays, 7 yards, 1:55. Key plays: D.J. Shockley 8 run on keeper before two plays lost a yard.
• Score: Georgia 16-0
Fourth quarter
The Bulldogs only added to the Tigers' frustration as they ripped the tiring Clemson defense for 135 yards and the defense continued to dominate a Tigers team that had high expectations of running the football, but instead wound up averaging only 1.4 yards per attempt.
• G: Greene 3 run (Bennett kick), 5:53. Drive: 6 plays, 60 yards, 3:00. Key play: Ronnie Powell 13 pass from Greene on first play of drive.
• G: Shockley 29 run (Bennett kick), 2:42. Drive: 6 plays 61 yards, 2:44. Key plays: Michael Cooper runs of 25 and 12 yards to start drive.

Like many remodelers I've worked from a variety of vehicles—all used when I got them. I started out with a 1/2-ton Chevy pickup and went from there to a Chevy 20 series van and then later to a Ford Econoline panel van. After the panel van I wanted something bigger so I bought a used "short" school bus, a '92 E350 with single rear wheels. The bus lasted 6 years and when it was time to replace the thing I decided I wanted something more versatile and was considering buying new.
I looked at extended vans like the Sprinter, and every conceivable configuration of service bodies on one-ton chassis. But the cost of these vehicles was shockingly high, even without a complete fit-out, and with my wife expecting twins I decided it was not the time to buy new. A short time later I saw a locksmith drive by in a retired ambulance and that gave me the idea for my next work vehicle.
After fruitlessly searching on auction sites like eBay I found a website called ambulancetrader.com. There were several listing relatively nearby but none of them panned out. Then I found a unit for sale in NYC, a 1993 E-350 SuperDuty Ford van with a 7.3L normally aspirated diesel engine. It was owned by a crane operator and had most recently been used as a mobile office and rigging supply truck (he had three). I bought it from him for $1,800.
For me, the main attraction of a used ambulance was all the exterior accessible storage in the box, or "module". One of the compartments is large enough to fit my job site table saw and accessories—at a height where the saw was easy to lift. All the compartments are double weather stripped, illuminated and lockable. And the box is aluminum with stainless steel hardware so it won't rot out like a service body.
The interior of the module has 6'-0" of headroom and all kinds of built-in storage cabinets. Between the cabinets is a clear floor area 50" wide by 12' long. I can get a 24' extension ladder inside with the doors closed—or 18' trim if I'm willing to run it between the seats of the cab. A built-in 1500-watt inverter powers three 110-volt receptacles.
The vehicle required little in the way of conversion. By law the sirens had to be disconnected and the ambulance markings removed. Fortunately, the markings were decals and came off easily. If you swap out the strobe lenses for amber colored ones you can use the strobes for towing and/or blocking traffic in the normal course of work. They have to be amber; anything else can be construed as "impersonating a first response vehicle". Blue denotes volunteer fire or EMS, red/white/blue is for ambulance or police, and red/white is for fire.
In addition to strobes the exterior is equipped with scene lights that can provide 360 degrees of illumination around the vehicle. The scene lights are particularly handy early and late on short winter days.
The ambulance had 97k on the clock when I bought it. In the six year's I've owned it the only major repairs it required were a new transmission and injector hoses. I upgraded the rear springs to increase the ride height and load capacity—but that was by choice. Everything else that has been done to the ambulance falls into the category of normal repairs: brakes, tires, battery, and regular maintenance. I spend about $2,000 per year to repair and maintain the vehicle, which is extremely reasonable given the age and $1,800 price tag of the van.
It has a gross weight of about 13,000 pounds and gets 10-11 miles per gallon. Where I live, in Connecticut, the ambulance is deemed a combination vehicle so commercial registration is not required. I spend $100 per year for registration and $400 per year for insurance.
Ambulances are not hard to find once you know where to look. They are categorized as follows:
Type I is pick up chassis based, dual rear wheels and can be 4WD
Type II is a modified van, usually just the top popped up
Type III is van cutaway chassis with dual rear wheels, what I have.
Mini Mods are same as type III, but with single rear wheels and a little narrower
Medium Duty is a truck chassis (International, etc.) and a bit bigger
These vehicles are typically very well-maintained; they have to be because lives depend on it.
Low mileage usually indicates use by a fire department, while higher mileage indicates a transfer vehicle used mostly on the highway. Brand new ambulances sell for well over $100k. But by the time those vehicles are 10 years old they can be gotten for $8-10k.

Our games our health: a cultural asset for promoting health in indigenous communities
Parker, Elizabeth A., Meiklejohn, Beryl M., Patterson, Carla M., Edwards, Kenneth D., Preece, Cilia, Shuter, Patricia E., & Gould, Patricia M. (2006) Our games our health: a cultural asset for promoting health in indigenous communities. Health Promotion Journal of Australia, 17(2), pp. 103-108.
|PDF (69kB)
ISSUE ADDRESSED: Indigenous Australians have higher morbidity and mortality rates than non-Indigenous Australians. Until recently, few health promotion interventions have had more than limited success in Indigenous populations. METHODS: This community-based health promotion initiative introduced traditional Indigenous games into schools and community groups in Cherbourg and Stradbroke Island (Queensland, Australia). A joint community forum managed the project, and the Indigenous community-based project officers co-ordinated training in traditional games and undertook community asset audits and evaluations. RESULTS: The games have been included in the activities of a range of community organisations in Cherbourg and Stradbroke Island. Several other organisations and communities in Australia have included them in their projects. A games video and manual were produced to facilitate the initiative's transferability and sustainability. CONCLUSIONS: Conventional approaches to health promotion generally focus on individual risk factors and often ignore a more holistic perspective. This project adopted a culturally appropriate, holistic approach, embracing a paradigm that concentrated on the communities' cultural assets and contributed to sustainable and transferable outcomes. There is a need for appropriate evaluation tools for time-limited community engagement projects.

Exercise #37
A character (or you, if you are writing memoir) thinks about a fear. This could be something practical, like the upcoming results of a medical test, or something vague and indefinite...
Fear. I have a fear. I recognized it only recently. It's not the kind of fear that has me shuddering behind the sofa ready to piss myself at a seconds notice. It's the kind of fear thats impending, not quite here yet, but it's inevitable unless of course there is a case of divine intervention between now and then, of which I have high hopes for.
Like most children, I grew up constantly trying to decide what profession I was going to be the strongest ones I can remember are teacher, vet and paramedic. Teacher because I actually liked junior primary school (not senior primary), thats a story for another day. Vet because I love animals, always have, always will. Vet was the last strong one I had in secondary school as well, but it died in horrid and devastating circumstances one night when I was watching some animal rescue program on BBC 3 I think.
It was the story of a poor decrepit bulldog mama with about five babies. She was locked in a shed since sometime in her pregnancy and she was nothing but skin and bone (tears are welling up as I recount this image). the big droopy eyes characteristic of her breed where no longer droopy and sad but emaciated, lonely and full of a sad lack of understanding for the abuse of her and her babies. Whilst watching the program I was not in tears yet, as I am now, (I can barely see the keys) I was horrified. She wagged her tail pitifully in greeting, her eyes as she looked at the first friendly faces she's probably ever seen, was 'look at my babies' and she brought them right over to them. It's amazing how she was still so willing to look to humans for help. Her pups were about 3 weeks old and were much healthier looking than her. The scene cut to the vets office were we could see the bulldog mama lashing in to a bowl of dog food. The voice over commentary proceeded to break my heart and years worth of dreams. Said in a really strong northern english accent: "The dog was deemed too malnourished to ever recover, her body destroyed all vital fat deposits in order to feed her babies, several of her organs are on the verge of failure. It was decided that the only humane thing to do was to put her to sleep after a final meal. Her babies will also be euthanized."
It wasn't the putting to sleep of tiny puppies that broke me, but my own realization that they were feeding her, for psychological reasons, she hadn't eaten in who knows how long, making her happy and satisfied after such a long time, the food would have done nothing for her. It was that last act of kindness before she was put to sleep that real character of a vet dawned in my head. And I didn't have it. If I was ever to become a vet, I would be putting tonnes of animals to sleep. I don't care if it's the best thing for them, I know its the best thing for most animals when they get to a certain stage of illness. But I also know I would have a nervous breakdown and years of work would go down the drain with that first animal I had to euthanize. And that was it, an end to the vet fantasy forever.
Paramedic was an odd one, I think it was too much medical/emergency services drama programs when I was small, BBC and UTV were full of them, I even named my dog after a character from one of them. 999, London's Burning, Flying Doctors, Casualty to name but a few. I was an odd child.
I thought vaguely of doing a science, zoology or bio med, I even applied for bio-med on my CAO form just in case I had a change of heart. I like science, in school I did chemistry for the Leaving Cert, I picked it long before I had that veterinary crisis of conscience. But again i had a sudden realization just before biology class that I didn't want to be stuck in a lab for the rest of my life, considering how most science jobs in Ireland lead to a factory floor, especially zoology. Which lead my to change my whole CAO form sometime in March to all arts courses. Originally UCD first, but a great idea form my parents of living with my Nan in Dublin whilst I went to college sent me to UCC instead.
So September came around I went to UCC. Over three years which I consider (now that I know better,one year after college) the best years of my life so far. I had a lot of bad times, but a lot of good times too, and now have great friends, wonderful boyfriend and a degree I never suspected Archaeology. A degree which frankly, I feel the paper it's printed on is worth more. Oh you must have a gotten a shitty grade you might think, no I didn't, I got a 2:1. Even better is the fact that I did better I thought after I had my boyfriend figure all the mathsy stuff out. I went from profiling as a 2:1 to actually having a 2:1. 'La-dee-fucking-dah' you might be saying, 'Quit yer wining' you might also be thinking, 'Take your 2 feckin 1 and wipe yer arse with it' is another thing one might think when reading the writings of an ungrateful pompous degree holder. I have thought of doing the latter alright. For all my entire life I have been told "If you have a degree, the world your oyster" "You'll always get a job when you have a degree". Shove it. You heard me.
Even the last week of college, a month before my final exams. The professor of Archaeology stood up confidently in front of the class and boasted about how irish archaeologists were guaranteed a job, how there wasn't enough people for all these jobs all over the place, that we would be spoilt for choice. I bet I wasn't the only one who left that lecture glad I had done this subject, that all other arts degrees are bollox compared to this. "Archaeology: the arts subject with a job at the end." Bollox.
I was severely mislead. Two weeks later a famine swept the nation, and all others around it. Gone were the days of abundance and glory. Everyone can shut the hell up about the 80's and how times were so feckin bad then. I don't care about then, I care about now. I graduated into a recession. These magical jobs I'd heard about all vanished in an instant two weeks before the end of my exams, I heard word of archaeologists being laid off 'But the professor said...' jobs in this sector were being kept to those that had lied/proved themselves good or just giant lick arses to sooth the directors bum after using cheap porta-loo toilet paper.
I hear all this talk in the paper about all the builders being out of work and then eventually about the poor students that will graduate in June 2009 to no jobs. What about us poor fuckers that graduated 2008? We're as bad off as those who are soon to graduate this year. Of my class of 60-70 odd people, 15 are in postgraduate studies I'd say 10 are out digging, I know some have been working in archaeology for years before doing the degree. The rest of us are doing nothing. I don't imagine any other arts subject graduates are fairing any better. Competition is higher than ever with 300 architects along with twenty dozen others of varying qualifications and nationalities all applying for a handful of jobs in Burger King in Dublin.
There are more people unemployed now than there ever was in the 80's which is why I can rightfully say to anyone who calls them woeful hard times to shove it where the sun don't shine. I for one personally think it's a lot harder now, when for one thing, everything costs more than it did in the 80's. Lots of people are getting depressed within three to four months because they can't have everything they're used to. 'Oh woe is me, I can't buy a new LCD widescreen t.v or subscribe to all those digital channels I like to watch anymore cause all my spare money has to go towards my million euro mortgage.' Times are much harder now because we're surrounded by idiots like that. Good times made then soft. their kids are out of control and are even worse now because they can't get everything they see on t.v anymore. People can be depressed, but I'd rather it not be for reasons such as spending money they didn't have on complete crap, and because they were fired from a surplus job. i've had nothing to do for a year and I'm not depressed. I took an online test that told me I was but I don't think it was avery well thought out test by some psychology dept. in america. All the questions were; 'do you cry 1-3 times a week 5-7 times a week or more' to which I answered I don't cry often/regularly, 'Are you bored all the time', Of course I'm bored all the time! I'm unemployed! It graded me as seriously depressed and in need of help. I'm just bored god help me. And I haven't got the money to spend on help either!
Yes, this all relates to my speech about fear. I never thought I was much good at hiding things in my writing or being surprising. I'm trying to work on it. My fear at its very source is not about having a successful career, although that would be nice. It's simply about never having a career in the first place. Even in College I was always behind on the job experience front, not just in archaeology, but in general. I could never get a job in secondary school because all the jobs that would hire a 16-18 year old in school were evening during the week jobs and I had no lift. Same went for summers during college. All I heard then was, when you have a degree you'll find a job no problem. No I have my degree I find I'm being discriminated against because I have a degree! It's hilariously cruel, yet I can't quite make myself laugh. Over a year of hundred of job applications, I've gotten two interviews. Two. Both needed people with degrees. I was rejected from one because I hadn't enough experience managing/supervising 20+ people, the other is a mystery, but from the way everyone who had worked for them a last season was there for the interviews, my bets are they took the people already trained for the job.
No I'm about to make a last ditch attempt at using my degree to try and get a masters. I do not have any high hopes for it. In fact I think its vain attempt to hang on to 3 seemly wasteful years of my life. If it is unsuccessful, which I fear its the mostly likely outcome I will have to completely re-evaluate my life, find another course of study, because you still can't get anywhere without a qualification. And hope I have better luck down that road. My fear is that because I'm spending each day on the dole and have nothing to promote myself above others, is that I will be unemployed and useless all my life. I have no idea where I can get my 3 years sandwich making experience in order to qualify to work in the deli at Spar. O.K now I'm depressed.

Chelsea has reacted furiously to suggestions that the club was willing to make either Juan Mata or David Luiz a makeweight in its prospective deal for Wayne Rooney, which Manchester United rejected. According to the Guardian, the episode appears to have damaged relations between the clubs, as Chelsea felt compelled to release a statement.
"Chelsea Football Club can confirm that, yesterday, it made a written offer to Manchester United for the transfer of Wayne Rooney," said a spokesman. "Although the terms of that

Opening Up a Unique Niche in Interior Doors
November 1, 2006
FEATURE ARTICLE | Products, Close-Ups
Plenty of companies specialize in replacement windows. Few, however, specialize in replacing interior doors—a fact that suggested a big opportunity to the founders of Interior Door Replacement Co.
"Homeowners have had to hire general contractors or a large home improvement store, which generally make a mess of a home, are in the customer's home for days, sometimes weeks, and are quite expensive," explains Mike McElroy, founder and chairman of IDRC, based in Mountain View, CA. "Until now, there has not been a company offering homeowners a one-stop, hassle-free door replacement service."
By focusing on interior door replacement, developing proprietary technology and systems, and emphasizing customer satisfaction, IRDC claims to perform their task at one third to one half the cost of major home improvement stores and general contractors, and with significantly less work or hassle for the homeowner. Started in 1997, the company is now setting up franchise operations throughout the country.
|An installer prepares to fit a replacement door into place
According to IDRC, the number one reason people replace their interior doors is the profound impact this single process can have on the home. "Our customers are primarily homeowners, with some rental properties," says Dave Winter, president and CEO. "Anyone who wants to dramatically improve the appearance of their home and, in return, increase its value—the return on investment is quickly seen, so it's an easy sell."
Most who have tried to replace their own interior doors can't forget the sizeable obstacles—limited door selection from the large home improvement stores, an expensive and cumbersome pre-hung or the burden of cutting and matching to an existing installation, not to mention locating hardware that at least somewhat resembles the other units in the home, says McElroy.
"Homeowners have had to hire multiple contractors and travel all over town to buy doors, levers and knobs, hardware, have the doors painted and have them installed. Plus most of the work takes place in the customer's home or garage. This is time consuming for the homeowner, a messy process, and loud."
Replacing a few doors in his own home and enduring this experience inspired McElroy to start the business. Over a couple years, he did numerous door replacement jobs for other people, taking the doors to a door shop to be cut and matched, "but they were unable to adjust for the irregular reveals or gaps due to the house settling or too big or tight of a backset," he recalls.
"Replacing interior doors is somewhat of a specialized skill, requiring that the proper installation process be followed," says Jim Hackett, director of marketing for Jeld-Wen Inc., an IDRC supplier. "By focusing solely on interior door replacement, IDRC is able to offer this service quickly, easily and at a great value to the consumers."
Hackett also sees big potential in interior door replacement. "Industry research shows that the average age of U.S. homes is now more than 37 years old, and for most homeowners that means it's time for a facelift. If you think about it, doors command a great deal of wall space," he says. In addition to targeting homeowners who are fed up with flat doors and dated hardware, IDRC teams with realtors, looking for people who want a "quick-fix" to improve the value of their homes before selling. "We work a lot with realtors and home stagers," Winter says. Professional contractors also use the company's service. "They don't know how we offer the services we do at the price (about $129 per installed door)," he notes. "They try to offer the service at our price and quickly fail."
Measuring was the first element of the process McElroy attacked. Progress on this front, however, created bottlenecks in other areas. This led to the development of new tools, and improvements made all around, step-by-step as needed. "The measuring, the cutting, the install—everything was improved at some point," says Winter.
|An example of the enhanced look provided with a new door.
McElroy's system allows for, "the accurate transferring of information from the old door to the new door but allows for any necessary changes due to a poor fit or maybe the settling of the house." The service takes installation a step further by offering pre-painting, made simple by the fact the doors are already out of the house. This also prevents the mess of paint on the hinges and hardware.
In addition, for homeowners tired of their old door trim, the company offers its own casing design, actually placed over the existing casing. The company's casing features an updated, wider profile and the concept eliminates the mess and disposal of removing the old material.
An in-home consultation begins the door replacement process, followed by the online order and scheduling of the installation week.
Monday. Each crew goes out to as many as five to ten homes to retrieve the old doors (50-100 doors) and take them back to the location's shop. The crews use a proprietary marking process on each individual door, so down the line they can improve performance, gaps and appearance with the new doors.
Tuesday. Crews match the old doors with new slabs supplied by Jeld-Wen, then cut and mortise using a unique cutting station and equipment designed specifically by IDRC. New doors then go straight to the paint department for color according to the customer's specifications.
Wednesday through Friday. Production teams take the new doors out to install, again using special tools and equipment. "At the end of the week all jobs are installed and payment collected," McElroy says.
"The retro-fit is really the niche" versus pre-hung, Winter notes. Ninety-five percent of the time, they use the existing frames and jambs, and always replace all the existing hardware. "All production work is actually performed outside of the customers' home. We are only in their home less than two hours total—once to measure the existing doors, then for installation of the new doors," Winter continues. This eliminates messes and simplifies the process, reducing overhead and keeping prices low. "Molded doors is the core business," he adds, "and French doors are becoming trendy, due to glass options available."
"I have always enjoyed developing solutions and tools for problems," McElroy says. At age 18, he became Shell Oil's youngest service station franchise owner ever in the United States. He grew four new locations, started another related business and then successfully sold them all off in 1989.
The next step was a real estate investment (his mother's home), which led to remodeling and thus his enlightenment of the interior door replacement process. "I read all the how-to books, but, still not convinced, I set out to develop a process that would be faster and more accurate." IDRC opened its doors in 1997, teaming up with Jeld-Wen for high-quality doors, and Emtek and Yale for hardware.
Mike began marketing with coupons and direct mail pieces, while word of mouth spread the news quickly. The Mountain View location covered the entire San Jose metropolitan area—targeting approximately half a million households. Marketing materials aimed toward breaking down the perception that interior door replacement takes a lot of time and money. Winter estimates it takes six to twelve months for a market to catch on and realize there's a new, different option.
|Mike McElroy, left, and Dave Winter
The executives believe that since opening they've replaced tens of thousands of doors, in thousands of homes. "It's better to do one thing better than everyone else, than to do 10 things as good as anyone else," states McElroy, which is why Winter entered the picture in 2001. "Mike knew he had something good and wanted to make the service available across the country," Winter explains, and they opened IRDC's first franchise in 2002.
Recently the company announced a strategic expansion plan for select U.S. markets, offering training, regular seminars and meetings to franchise owners. "Over the past nine years, we have perfected our niche concept and built a solid reputation within the home improvement industry as the door replacement pros. Now it's time for us to move into the next phase of our evolution and offer our business opportunity to qualified entrepreneurs across the country," Winter says.
Franchise owners receive a protected, exclusive territory, as well as ongoing training and support including an initial two-week training program in California.
According to Winter, "a background in construction or home improvement is not necessary to become an IDRC franchisee." Most existing franchise owners come from professional backgrounds as diverse as law, sales, marketing or other unrelated fields.
"We actually turn down more candidates than we accept," Winter notes.
Currently 17 independently owned franchises operate in three states—Arizona, California and Texas—with hopes that the number will grow as high as 200 locations within the next 10 years. "We have an economy-resistant franchise opportunity," Winter states. "As long as people continue to either move, or update their existing homes, there's plentiful opportunity for jobs in every market around the nation."
As far as competition, the niche seems to lie well below the radar. "IDRC has no direct competition at this time. We get contractors who try to replicate our services but they quickly fail and often call us to tell us about it," Winter says. "I always tell our [franchisees], 'Your biggest competition is the homeowners that don't know about you'."
McElroy states, "Our goal is to educate the consumer that door replacement can now be as easy as painting your home or changing your carpet."
UPDATE: Interior Door Replacement Co. continues to operate in California, serving home and building owners with replacement door installation services. It no longer offers a franchise program, however. A new business, Grand Mark Solutions, was formed in 2011 to offer a successor franchise business called HomeStory.

Sophomore Safety Brandan Bishop
"We had a lot of low points last year. Obviously we struggled in some games defensively."
"I think we definitely learned from some of those low points last year."
"It was definitely an experience, just coming to campus and getting thrown right into the games."
"Something you can't really prepare for, but I just tried to learn as much as I could and take away from the experience."
"For me personally it was a lot of new stuff. A lot is thrown at you in a short amount of time. It seems like it's a long time but it's really not when you're trying to learn a whole new defense."
"You have to look at it all, some of the bad games and some of the better games."
"I've got more comfortable within our scheme. I feel like I belong now. I feel like me, Earl, C.J. and some of our other defensive backs are communicating much better than we have in the past."
"Nate is one of the smartest football players I've ever been around."
"Coach Tenuta has great knowledge of the game. He's been around football a long time."
"We were motivated by that the whole offseason."
Junior Linebacker Audie Cole
"After the first three games we started to fall apart and it seemed like it couldn't get any worse, but it did a little bit. Towards the end of the season we started picking it back up and found our rhythm but it was too late."
"Mental errors, mistakes, people were getting injured. We were missing some people and then it was a snowball effect."
"A lot of guys were thrown in, true freshmen or true sophomores, which is still early I think to be starting football games."
"The people who came in and stepped in they did what they could, and now we have to build off that."
"Most everybody coming back now has game experience."
"I grew a lot from the beginning of the season to the end. I was able to read the offenses better... I can tell you the first game, the first snap, everything seemed to be going so fast. By the end of the season it had slowed down."
"I think everyone is a lot more confident than last year. The people that don't have that much experience are feeding off the others."
"He's a great player. Offenses are always going to be worried about Nate because he's a great player."
"Coach Tenuta, we've had a great time with coach Tenuta. The linebackers together, we all talk about how we pick up things we never used to see."
"He's aggressive, but we all love it. I enjoy it and so do all the other linebackers."
"When you know them, they all get easy. One is similar to another and it's easy to learn... I think it's kind of complicated for the offenses. I've heard our offense talking about how our blitzes are different this year."
"We're tired of just being the offensive team and us relying on the offense. If the offense is not playing well we want them to have to rely on us if they need to. We want to be there for them. If we both can rely on each other we'll be fine this year."
"I definitely think we're going to be overlooked... I think we'll do a lot better than everyone thinks, but that will be decided in a couple of weeks. Right now I can only talk about it but you've got to do it when it's time to do it."

Zebra acoustic-electric guitar strings from DR Strings work great for acoustic-electric guitars with piezo pickups under the bridge or magnetic pickups in the soundhole. Zebras also work for full-size archtop guitars, which respond to Zebras with richer tones. Any amplified acoustic guitar comes alive when you put on Zebra strings. Revolutionary design you can see--every other coil is nickel-plated steel, every other coil is rare phosphor bronze, and both are wound on round cores.

Comments about DR Strings Zebra Medium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Strings:
I've been playing for about 17 years. I normally use Martin Marquis strings. Whenever I go out on a limb and try a different type of strings it seems that I always compare them to my "benchmark" strings, Martin Marquis. The DR Zebra Strings do not compare at all. The 5th (A) string and 6th (E) string were especially bad. They did not have much of any kind of tone; they just kinda went "thud". Forget about sustain! They didn't work any kind of wonders with my piezo pickup, either. This is what I really wanted to try them for. I play through a high quality sound system every week and I'm always looking for anything that will push the quality of my sound higher. I thought that this was a good thing to try, so I did. I won't buy these again. I'll stick to my Marquis.

Comments about DR Strings Zebra Medium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Strings:
I recently purchased a Gretsch archtop with a floating single coil, and like many, I am trying to find a string that balances the acoustic and electric tone. These strings sound great acoustically, but the volume is not consistent across all strings when plugged in. The non-wound strings (E and B) are considerably louder than the wound strings, which is quite noticeable when playing leads. I think these strings would respond better to a piezo pickup. I am going to try them out on my Taylor dread.
As for the archtop, the search continues. I just ordered some GHS White Bronze which are supposed to get a little more magnetic response on the lower strings without losing the acoustic tone. I will report back with my findings.
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Medium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Strings:
on my Taylor 214. I had a friend give me a set and didn't really notice they were meant to be used on an acoustic-electric. They sound great on the Taylor though.
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Medium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Strings:
I purchased these for use on my Epi John Lennon EJ-160. I found that bronze acoustic strings sounded pretty good with the solid top but were really weak and thin with the pickup. Maybe there wasn't enough magnetic material in the string composition. If I used electric strings, the acoustic sound wasn't very good even though the pickup sounded better (Lennon used electric strings?). With these strings the nickel windings beef up the electric sound and the bronze windings work well for acoustic playing.
For me, the hybrid approach of these strings works really well on that guitar. I have several acoustic flat tops, one with an under-saddle piezo and preamp. I haven't tried these on any of my other acoustics, so I can't review the performance on those instruments.
Comments about DR Strings Zebra Medium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Strings:
I bought these for my Hamer Duotone. It uses a rosewood acoustic-style bridge with a piezo pickup on a thinline body fitted with two humbuckers like an electric. It's a pretty cool guitar. I thought that these hybrid strings would be perfect for my hybrid guitar, but I was wrong. They don't work well enough with the humbuckers. The steel B and E strings are significantly louder than the wound strings. The nickel winds on these strings help, but not enough. It's not as bad as if you put all bronze strings on there (those have terrible results with regular electric guitar pickups), but it's just not good enough. I'll have to go back to nickel-wound strings.
