I have to admit I lurked about the forums for several weeks before joining up. I have read a lot of very good information here and look forward to perhaps contributing. I have no professional experience (unlike many members) but have grown up around guns and hunting in Colorado. I recently got my CCW and this last weekend upgraded from a S&W Mod 39-2 I have had for over 20 years to a brand new Springfield XD SubCompact in .40 S&W. I look forward to more 'upgrades' in the future. I am very impressed by the sharing of knowledge that occurs here. I am also co-host a podcast with a very good friend in COlorado and would invite everyone to check it out. We focus mainly on cigars but do discuss politics and occasionally CCW,2nd amendment issues as well. The site is www.dogwatchsocialclub.com and this will be the last time I mention it.
Welcome to the forums. Hope you injoy the ongoing interaction.

New BMW owner from Scottsdale Arizona!
Hi Everyone! My name is Chris and I just purchased my first BMW today. Its a 2004 325i Saloon. I'm pretty excited about it and its rather a new thing to me as I have never had a car this "classy". My last car was an '06 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR, and I have to say i'm pretty sad to have let it go. But I think that the Bimmer has a lot in store for me. My plans are to set it up with proper stance and just do subtle changes. A kind of OEM+ look really.
I come from a pretty strict rally background, working with my race team for the past few years so all my previous cars have been inspired by that way of life. But since I going to college I have had to put that on hold and I feel like having a luxury (type of) car will be a nice change while going to and commuting to school.
Anyway, i'm glad to be a part of the e46 community and happy to now be a BMW owner!

KIM AND JACK'S WEDDINGNovember, 2009 in Temecula
"Our wedding was great! Getting married at Falkner Winery was really fun, a great value for the money. November is off season for them,helps to keep costs down. It would have been nice to have the reception sites floor plan on Wedding Mapper for seating chart; since the planner provided by Falkner looked at the seating chart I'd printed from Wedding Mapper and managed to seat the Bride's family in the corner. Wedding Planner is the perfect online resource for organizing your wedding and reception"

text: I used ranger sxt in my 45 gap. I sold my G37 because ammo was too expensive, but the ranger ammo was the best performing defense ammo I had for it. I used the 230gr standard pressure (they didn't have +p for gap). I also use ranger 127gr +p+ 9mm in my G19; its the only 9mm ammo I'll carry. It's what I'd carry in 45 auto.

Extreme Rising is demanding that former TNA talent Steve Richards, their current champion, return their title belt immediately after Richards said he would defend the title via a video game. Richards has kept the belt since winning it and has taken it overseas and to independent shows.
This all stems from Richards posting a photo of the Extreme Rising belt and the latest Madden video game on Twitter and saying that he would defend the title via the game online due to losing his WrestleMania weekend bookings. Former ECW star Danny Doring responded by posting a photo of the old ECW World Tag Team Title (which he has had since ECW closed in 2001) on his Twitter account and said he'd put that title up against Richards. He joked that it would be "defunct promotion vs. defunct promotion."
Extreme Rising apparently then emailed Richards demanding that he return their belt by the end of this week and that they were disappointed that Richards was involved with something that described Extreme Rising as a "defunct promotion."
Richards responded by saying he was upset that Extreme Rising "doubted his ability as a Madden player" and said the promotion got upset over something 20 people saw on Twitter. He was surprised they took all this so seriously since it was mostly just him and Doring goofing off online. He also was disappointed that nobody from the promotion called him about it.
The sad part is ….. this is NOT an angle by any means and Extreme Rising is legitimately pissed off over this.
Richards and Doring do plan to play the game and want to stream it online.
What a bizarre story.
Seriously, you can't make this $hit up….
I'm sure if it were up to Big Stevie Cool, he'd make the challenge playing WCW/nWo Revenge
Lol I have that game…love n64
best wrestling game ever..
All I have to say is…. this is awesome!!!!
Have 'em do a battle royale of games, with the winner at the end getting both belts.
"Doubted his abilities as a madden player" Lmao.
I blame Obama.
this might just be the coolest story ever…Its funny that ER is so pissed about it when they cancled the event 3 weeks before hand..im sure alot of these guys had flights/hotels booked and now are screwed out of those, along with whatever payday they might have had..Good for Richards..
the promotion would have paid for the hotels booked. and only a few guys had them booked. just rey misterio bestia 666 super crazy, damion 666 pesidilla and luke hawks. the rest are from the area or were working other shows mania weekend like liger. anyways i cant wait til extreme rising announces the next shows. im a little upset they canceled but they should have booked the mania shows a few months earlier and not did one in philly for mania weekend they would have been fine. or atleast took up the offer to do wrestlecon they had. i got my refund already. im not complaining, and going to other mania weekend shows. going to like 10 wrestling events mania weekend.
was doing the 3 extreme rising events and dragons gate on sunday then mania and raw.
now going to pws (pro wrestling syndicate) april 4th and 5th . evolve on april 5th doing shimmer, chikara, dragons gate, and $5 wrestling on april 6th. dragons gate usa and wrestlemania on april 7th. monday night raw on april 8th
Idk who told you this but no… the promotion would not have paid for the hotel expenses… In fact any wrestler will tell you, nearly no promotion pays for a hotel EVER. WWE does pay for them currently, as it's required with such a huge travel schedule, and now it's reported TNA does now with their new travel schedule.
Most wrestling promotions don't ever pay for hotel expenses, and you'll find 99.99% of wrestlers can tell you how they drove to an event then had to immediately drive home, staying up for several days. Another is how they slept in their car after an event. I've heard stories from many famous wrestlers including people like Nunzio who talk about sleeping in their cars because they were to tired to drive home and couldn't afford a hotel or motel.
I miss Stevie Richards, Extremely underrated in TNA!
hahaha I just love Richards for doing this kind of stuff
but richards says tna is a joke? LOL? can u say pot meet kettle?
The sad part is they should be thankful Stevie Richards even mentioned their promotion. Although I guess they are upset because the 20 people on Twitter is more people than have seen their product on video. Apparently it was a defunct promotion before it started and the promoter didn't realize it.
they have been selling pretty good ticket numbers. they just booked the shows to late vs otherr promotions running mania weekend. since they were announcing late they should have taken the offer to just do wrestlecon and not do philly on a thursday night.. last few shows ranged from just over 1000 to 1500 people. i had tix to all 3. nyc was just about sold out and would have been sold out, but those 2 events were being done as a loss.
Il play you Stevie! Wouldn't mind having a world title
Richards responded by saying he was upset that Extreme Rising "doubted his ability as a Madden player"
That line is gold

CurtyCurt managed to somehow throw in the kitchen sink while keeping the admin panel simple to use. Some themes workflow just don't make sense to me but yours is very intuitive. Themes like yours and the support you've already given keeps me buying even if I don't need the theme yet!

On Aug. 19, 2008, a wave left the coast of Sudan headed east. By the time it swirled up the Gulf of Mexico three weeks later, it had built up hurricane force winds 240 miles wide. That mass plowed into Texas on Sept. 12 carrying destructive and deadly power.
The day before, the National Weather Service warned residents along the Galveston Bay shoreline that they faced "certain death" if they didn't evacuate as ordered.
Hurricane Ike has been blamed for at least 164 deaths, including 82 in the United States. As the tempest blew, more than 182,000 Texans headed for temporary shelter. The Red Cross established some 280 facilities to keep them safe and dry.
Top brass flew into survey the catastrophe. Former presidents Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush toured the area and visited an ad hoc Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters.
Weeks after the hurricane, The Associated Press reported a grim spectacle. The storm's 13-foot surge had pushed up approximately 200 coffins from their graves. Volunteers and state prisoners searched hundreds of miles of marshland in hopes of returning at least some of the dislocated remains to their proper places.
There were close calls. On Sept. 11, the cargo ship MV Antalina left Port Arthur, Texas, to avoid the storm, but the ship's engine failed the next day. Unable to fix the engine, the crew asked the U.S. Coast Guard to evacuate them, but the Guard determined it would've been unsafe to try. The crew of 22 rode out the storm and returned home uninjured.
Nature's helpless creatures were also impacted as the storm wiped out nesting areas for rare Kemp's Ridley turtles, washing away dunes and beaches on Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island.
And renters felt the brunt of the storm as much as anyone. The Houston Chronicle estimated that more than half of the city's 2,000 apartment buildings got hit hard, with damaged roofs and toppled walls. The damage was so extensive that the Chronicle gave a bold headline to the resumption of curbside recycling - a big step forward - more than five weeks after the storm.
There was a lot of bad news, to be sure. But it might have been worse, were it not for the timely use of communication technologies and the intervention of at least one government agency. EMSystems, PIER Systems and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), each had a role in keeping Hurricane Ike's human toll to a minimum.
NOAA: Information Central
Tim Osborn vividly recalled the days and hours preceding Hurricane Ike's arrival in the Gulf of Mexico. "Even before Ike became a tropical depression, we had identified the potential for this to start creating an actual storm system - to start rotating," said Osborn, the regional manager of NOAA's Office of Coast Survey.
In the coming days, NOAA played a critical role in managing the response to Ike. When the storm ended, the federal agency had its hands full finding and repairing navigational aids to help get maritime commerce afloat.
From the very start, the NOAA's work focused on communication - keeping emergency services up-to-date on changing conditions as the storm approached. At 10 a.m. each day, regional NOAA offices and weather service officials gathered on the phone with the NOAA Hurricane Center in Miami. Together they'd review likely five-day scenarios, while NOAA aircraft skimmed the storm to conduct weather sampling.
These conference calls, along with Web-based presentations, helped NOAA forge a consistent message that could be communicated to the entire navigation and port community. These

This is a horrible price for Pistachios...
Yay! I got be a Bag Of Nuts!!!
Isn't this the compny that has a commercial featuring that wierd looking chick from Jersey Shore. That's reason enough not to buy.
Sorry Woot ...i will not buy pistachios ever since the wise(?) Pistachio advertising council decided to use Rod Blagojevich as one of its spokespeople. My diet will be pistachio-less.
Wait, it says 32oz bag under condition, but then under "product" it says 2 32oz bag"...
So is it 2 bags of 32oz nuts?
akalyana wrote:is it woot or amazon forcing these crappy deals?
Crappy?! They're PISTACHIOS! Just say that word repeatedly. It's Hi-LARIOUS.
Just kidding. I was wondering the same damn thing.
I thought the bags were a pair of Tony Lamas cowboy boots when I got the first glimpse as I F5'ed in.
$7 per lb? yikes!
See Deez...
I don't feel comfortable commenting on another persons nuts.
And yet I did. Awkward.
nerdtasticalone wrote:For 28.00 these better taste like heaven.
ABSOLUTELY... like, better than S3X!
About eight bucks each at my local megamart. Not a good deal for me.
What a kick in the nuts.
carlthesweed wrote:How is this a good deal???!!??
Woot's grabbing purchases off of the hungry just-before-lunch office crowd who never get the chance to get to the store.
There were two bags of Premium Lightly salted California pistachio's.
One Pistachio said the the other pistachio, " Hey stach, can i borrow some money?"
The other Pistachio said in return," PWND!? Do i look like a Premium Lightly Salted California cashew?"
$23 nuts?
smatheson46 wrote:Wait, it says 32oz bag under condition, but then under "product" it says 2 32oz bag"...
So is it 2 bags of 32oz nuts?
Yes, it's 2 32 oz bags. Or 4 lbs total (64 oz)...
Tarantino wrote:Getting snookie to advertise these things has put me off them. Blah.
holy eff. thank god it's just this one brand and not some pistachio growers association.
snooki endorses these! you better buy 3!
I eat mine like a Wooter!
Help stimulate California's economy. Buy their nuts.
You've got to think that a 1/2 cup serving with shells would contain a LOT more fiber!
a lot of people prefer my nuts
If this was a reference to the movie Kung Pow, your post is THE best of the day. I was just about to post this.
Bandrik wrote:THAT'S A LOTTA NUTS!!!
Smartpost? These things will be fully-grown pistachio trees by the time they arrive.
Amazon has them at $20.15 a 1 lb. bag.
I prefer my pistachios refurbished.
Sams Club has the same "Wonderful Pistachios" for 48 oz for $15.98. $28 shipped is not exactly a Woot-worthy deal.
For those who do not like math, this is equivalent to 4lbs of pistachios. If you order 2, that's 8lbs, and if you order 3, you would get 12lbs of nuts.
Terrible price. I just got a 32oz bag of this brand at Walgreens last week for $2
Bag o nuts not as good as a bag o crap.
About twice mor expansive than Amazon:
64 oz for $30.
Buying them is not as much fun as putting them in your mouth.
These were 18.99 last year!
bumpnscrape wrote:the wife always enjoys when i give her nuts!
Great for gifts, in for 3!
Perfect for that lunch hour in Texas.
Dear woot!,
Let's make a deal. We'll keep buying the external battery packs and bacon salt...and you keep your nuts.
I go nuts for pistachios!!!

Do you all remember that documentary Expelled with Ben Stein? If you don't, it was a pretty popular film explaining Intelligent Design. Well, atheist buddies Richard Dawkins (author of The God Delusion) and Lawrence Krauss (author of A Universe from Nothing) are making their own film called The Unbelievers and it seems to be arguing the polar opposite. Is it going to be any good? Stay tuned.

The interface is simple, to create these looping beats one simply has to drag the designated sound onto the cartoon and his loops begins.

And if you really like the sound you create, for a nominal fee, you can download it and share with all your friends. Beatboxing may be an impressive skill, but Incredibox is an impressively fun waste of time.

Newsbusters still playing dumb about right-wing smear of NBC producer
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Seven days is an awfully long time for an update, don't you think?
It's the case where the right-wing group Americans for Limited Government sent our press releases that an NBC producer had emailed a staffer there with the anti-semitic note, "Bite me Jew boy!" NBC adamantly denied the claim and said it could prove, via IT analysis, that the producer's email never contained that message. (It read simply, "Take me off this list!")
As I noted earlier this week, Politico's Michael Calderone reported that ALG is now refusing to produce any evidence that would authenticate is smear campaign against the NBC producer. Specifically, ALG is refusing to release the email "headers" which could help prove definitively whether the anti-semitic blast was legit.
In fact, over the weekend, Newsbusters, hyping the anti-NBC story, urged ALG to release the headers. Wrote Newsbusters' Matthew Sheffield:
ALG can help prove their case further if they release the email in its entirety including the "header" information which tells from what exact computers the message was sent. I've put in an email to ALG asking for the headers and will keep everyone posted.
And in another post Sheffield wrote [emphasis added]:
NewsBusters has contacted ALG media representatives and asked for the message header. ALG director of outreach Sergio Gor said that the raw message was stored on an office computer unavailable for use over the weekend. "I will have those emailed to you on Monday," he told us via email.
That post was Saturday. It's now seven days later and as Politico has reported, ALG categorically refuses to release the "headers" or any other information to back up their smear campaign. Yet for some reason Newsbusters has been mum about the story. Newsbusters urged the right-wing group to confirm its claim of anti-semitism at NBC. But when ALG refused, Newsbusters suddenly lost interest in the smear campaign.
And these people critique the media for a living?

The BBC has confirmed that BBC One will launch as a simulcast HD channel at 7pm on 3 November.
The broadcaster announced that it would be doing so this autumn back in May, and with the November date has just about managed it.
BBC One HD will broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week – though not all of the content will be native HD, with this content upscaled. Shows such as Strictly Come Dancing, The Apprentice, and QI will be moving to HD. From Christmas Day, Eastenders will be shown in native HD, with the BBC known to have written the burning down of the Queen Vic into the story-line as the venerable set of the famous pub was not of high enough standard to pass muster under the revealing eye of HD.
BBC One HD will be shown on Freeview HD channel 50, Freesat 108, Sky channel 143 and Virgin Media channel 108. The current BBC HD channel will continue to broadcast and show HD material from other BBC channels. It will move to Freeview HD channel 54, Freesat 109, Sky channel 169, and Virgin Media channel 187.
Earlier this year the BBC conceded to a pressure group that it would work to improve the quality of its HD pictures, having dropped its encoding bit-rate from 16Mbit/s to 9.7Mbit/s.
The BBC has also announced the launch of HD online radio streams, starting with Radio 3 in December.

MEGHAN AND RICH 'S WEDDINGJanuary, 2014 in New York
"I would encourage anyone to think about a winter wedding... there is something so romantic and glamorous about it, and it was wonderful being outside of the typical wedding season, giving friends something to really look forward to to beat those winter blues. So many of our guests told us that it was the best, most magical wedding they had ever been to. Personalizing things is what really makes it memorable, which means a lot of time and vendors who are willing to think outside the box with you, but we couldn't be happier overall!"

"Maritza is the owner and designer, and she helped us to customize every last detail. From the invitation to table cards, guests were floored by the beauty and uniqueness of the designs she helped us to create. Truly one of a kind."

"Could not be happier. She is absolutely amazing to work with in every way, from being warm and fun, to being incredibly efficient at catching those perfect shots, to amazing follow up and final results! I can't imagine working with anyone else."
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
"I got a little nervous toward the end when it seemed there was still a lot of alterations to get done... but my worrying was unnecessary! They have, truly, some of the most intricate, stunning designs of anywhere else I went (and I tried about 40 dresses... just could not find the right one at the main boutiques!). On top of that, they were very willing to work with us on design to make the gown completely my own, so that in the end it was practically custom. But the main thing is that the dresses are just to die for."

text: Thanks very much guys. I'm curious about tire selection for those of you who live in 4-season areas. Do you switch out the stock tires for all-season and run them year-round or get an extra set of wheels and dedicated snows for winter? I'm in in Cincinnati and we really don't get much snow here. When we do, it seems to melt off fairly quickly. When I was living in Wisconsin, well, that's a totally different story. I'm considering just going with a good set of all-season's but I love the grip and quietness of the stock Dunlop summer tires so I'd prefer using them in the warmer months.

Artichokes with Lemon-Mint Dressing RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
3 2
The light green, fresh-tasting dressing is the perfect accompaniment for steamed artichokes. CW's test kitchen staff liked the dip so much, they suggested making a double batch and thinning it down with a little milk to use as a regular salad dressing.
Recommended: 66 Recipes to Make This Spring
- 4 medium artichokes
- 1 package (12.3 ounces) silken firm tofu
- 4 teaspoons minced fresh mint or 1-1/4 teaspoons dried mint
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-1/2 teaspoons honey mustard
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Place the artichokes upside down in a steamer basket; place in a saucepan over 1 in. of boiling water. Cover and steam for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, for dressing, combine the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Serve with artichokes. Yield: 4 servings (1 cup dressing).

Adam Ewart of Bangor-based sendmybag.com explains how an unpleasant journey to an airport and excess baggage charges when he got there gave him the idea for his business
"I started sendmybag.com in 2006. The idea behind my business? Basically, for a fixed fee we collect luggage and deliver it wherever it needs to go. Obviously, come the end of term or academic year, we can take students belongings back home for them."
Initially Send My Bag was aimed at students who needed to get belongings between family homes and their halls of residence. The company proved such a hit that it is now an industry leader.
"Send My Bag takes the hassle out of moving stuff on public transport, which is hard work if, say, a student lives in Northern Ireland, yet studies in England or vice versa. Or, if a student lives in England but studies in Scotland or vice versa, it can save mum or dad a very long drive.
"There's a cost issue, too. If a student wants to fly home with heavy cases at the end of the year, they'll have to pay excess baggage, which isn't cheap. Students get a discount if they have a UCAS card number.
Air rage
"How did I come up with the idea for my business? I was over in Oxford visiting my girlfriend who was studying there. To get back to Northern Ireland, where we're from, we had to get from her halls to the coach station in Oxford with three heavy suitcases, then travel by coach to London to the airport and from the coach stop to check-in. It was hard going, to say the least.
"At check-in, we were hit with a hefty bill for excess baggage. I thought – 'what a rip-off'. Now it's even worse – with the budget airlines you can hardly take anything on board unless you pay extra.
"Anyway, I was angry and spoke to other young people on our flight, many of whom were also students going home for the holidays. Many of them had also been forced to pay excess baggage – but what other choice was there?
"On the plane, I began thinking of an alternative solution. Midway through the short flight, I had the answer: courier. I then scribbled down some numbers to question whether the idea was viable; £20 to £25 per case seemed affordable. It was about half what they would have to pay otherwise – either on excess baggage or by sending stuff by post.
Take off
"I know market research is important, but with what was to become sendmybag.com, I knew there was demand – I'd spoken to enough disgruntled people in the airport.
"Neither I nor my girlfriend nor any of our student friends knew of any existing service. I did some online research and couldn't find anyone, so I was confident there was no competition.
"I asked various national couriers for quotes – without revealing my business idea, of course, you must be careful. It turned out I could indeed charge £20-£25 per item and still make a profit.
"Within days I'd put together a business plan. I had a basic website built and away we went – it cost me about £100 all in. Admittedly, our market research wasn't comprehensive, but because I didn't have to invest loads of money, I took the plunge. One week later we were profiled on TV in Northern Ireland and we began to receive enquiries. It was exactly the right time of year, so we were lucky.
Cash and carry
"Before launching, I tried to think of reasons why the business might not work. I've also had people ask me why don't students simply just send their own luggage by courier. Well, it will cost them more, plus, they'll have to put in the time and effort, while all you need do is follow three easy steps on our website. Lastly, our service is ultra reliable – so why would someone bother doing it themselves when they might not get their stuff as quickly?
"Students are our target and core customers, but we attract business from other people, too. The business goes from strength to strength, but that's only been possible because my initial idea was a good one."
Adam's three key lessons
- "If you've done your homework and are confident you have a unique idea, get it to market quickly"
- "If your idea is good, don't unnecessarily delay launch by waiting for everything to be perfect. Improvements can be made later – but that's not an excuse for being sloppy or unprofessional"
- "Never launch a business without researching or having deep knowledge of your market"
This case study was first published in November 2009. Since then SendmyBag has gone from strength to strength. The company appeared on Dragons' Den in October 2012 and although it did not secure investment from the Dragons, it did attract the attention of another investor.

It is my personal goal to be a source of information, guidance, support and love both for people currently going through breast cancer, and those seeking to avoid it. If you need someone to help you through the maze of confusing information out there, or someone to whom you can ask your burning questions, I'm honored to assist you.
I have a background in natural medicine and massage therapy. My husband and I have lived in Denver, Colorado, and Perth, Australia. We were living in Perth in 2004 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had all my treatment there – something for which I will always be grateful because I think if it had happened in America, we would have been financially ruined! Anyway – Perth and Denver are both great places to live. We love to travel, that's our passion. We have a wonderful son and a beautiful daughter-in-law, and two gorgeous little grandchildren, and they live in Europe. We are truly blessed!

Finally and most importantly, these words from Buddha:
"Don't blindly believe what I say. Don't believe me because others convince you of my words. Don't believe anything you see, read, or hear from others, whether of authority, religious teachers or texts. Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.
"Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will only lead to delusion.
"Find out for yourself what is truth, what is real. Discover that there are virtuous things and there are non-virtuous things. Once you have discovered for yourself, give up the bad and embrace the good."

We'd be remiss if we didn't expand on the link we dropped into today's "Morning Shift" about the pale blue 1962 Ford Anglia which starred as the Weasley family car in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The car, which doesn't even have an engine was reported as stolen from the South West Film Studios in St. Agnes. Luckily, the Herbie-like action hero turned up on the grounds of Carn Brea Casstle in Cornwall after an anonymous phone tip. Police suspect mischevious, but not very intelligent house-elves trying to stop the car from being used by the youngest son of the Weasley clan and Harry Potter in their return to Hogwarts for their second year. Little did the house-elves realize — that already happened. Silly li'l fairy-elves.

Sykes Earns Invitation to Prestigious CP3 Elite Guard Camp
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay senior guard Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) will be one of the 20 collegiate guards nationally to participate in the invitation-only CP3 Elite Guard Camp hosted by Los Angeles Clipper and NBA All-Star point guard Chris Paul. Sykes, who says he has never been to any basketball camp, will attend the camp run by one of the top point guards in the NBA from Aug. 7-10 in Paul's hometown of Winston Salem, N.C.
The CP3 Elite Guard Camp invites the top-30 high school and top-20 collegiate guards from across the country. Sykes and the other college guards will serve as counselors and will have an opportunity to learn from and play on the court with Paul.
"I have never been invited to a camp, and I am excited to learn from Chris Paul and also have a chance to showcase my talents against great competition going into my senior season," Sykes said. "I know how big it was for Alec [Brown] when he went to the Amare Stoudemire camp. This is a great opportunity for me, our program and mid-major basketball."
Notable alumni of the CP3 Elite Camp include Steph Curry, Trey Burke, Michael Carter-Williams, Victor Oladipo, Kemba Walker and Ray McCallum. Others expected to attend the 2014 camp include: Connecticut's Ryan Boatright, Wichita State's Fred Van Fleet, Indiana's Yogi Ferrell….
"With the invitation to the CP3 Elite Guard Camp, Keifer has an opportunity to compete against some of the best guards in the country and learn from one of the game's top point guards," Green Bay head coach Brian Wardle said. "I know that he will display the hard work he has put into his game this offseason and really enjoy the experience."
The reigning Horizon League Player of the Year, Sykes is a two-time first-team All-Horizon League selection who led the Phoenix to a 24-7 overall record and the regular season conference title a season ago. In his accomplished Green Bay career, Sykes has accumulated 1,482 points and 394 assists while winning a Horizon League record 10 Horizon League Player of the Week awards.
As a junior in 2013-14, Sykes averaged 20.3 points, 4.9 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. He was an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American and named to the USBWA and NABC All-District squads while also claiming a conference record six Horizon League Player of the Week honors.

A woman told a 911 dispatcher Wednesday evening Kanawha County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants was screaming at his ex-wife in the parking lot of John Adams Middle School.
Police described Wednesday's incident as a child custody issue between Plants and his ex-wife, Allison. No one was arrested.
"His ex-wife asked me to call police," a woman, whose name was edited out of the call, told a 911 dispatcher. "She's in her vehicle, she won't get out and he's trying to get her to come out."
The Gazette obtained a copy of the four-minute recording, made at about 6 p.m. Wednesday to Kanawha County Metro 911 dispatchers.
Plants faces charges of domestic battery of his 11-year-old son and violation of a domestic violence protective order, both misdemeanors. State Police charged him earlier this year with striking his son with a leather belt and leaving a six-to-seven-inch bruise on the boy's thigh.
Plants is under a domestic violence protective order until September, which limits the time he can spend with his two sons.
On Thursday, Plants explained that Wednesday "was his scheduled time." He referred other questions about the incident to State Police. Allison Plants did not want to comment.
Lt. Michael Baylous of the State Police said Wednesday night that Plants' son was with his father and wanted to leave, so he texted his mother. Allison Plants attempted to pick the boy up at the school.
"We did not find any violation of the law, nor were we told by the family law judge that there was any violation," Baylous said.
State Police consulted with Cabell County Family Court Judge Patricia Keller, who was assigned to preside over the domestic violence protection order.
After Kanawha Family Judge Mike Kelly issued Allison Plants an emergency domestic violence protection order, he and other Kanawha family court judges recused themselves, and Keller was appointed to the case.
About halfway through the call to 911, a dispatcher asked the woman if Plants and his ex-wife were still arguing.
"Yeah, he's still yelling at her," she said. The dispatcher asks, "Is it heated?"
"It seems to have maybe calmed down ... she wanted me to call, she didn't want to get out of her vehicle while she was here," the woman said.
She then tells the dispatcher that Plants had walked away from Allison Plants' vehicle.
Baylous said police found no indication of violence.
Plants' attorney, Paul Saluja, a Nitro attorney who represents Plants in family court, said Thursday evening that his client did nothing wrong.
Plants "was exercising his parenting time ... the police returned the children back to Mark so that he could continue exercising his custodial time," Saluja said.
The couple isn't supposed to have contact, according to the protective order and a deal made in the case against Plants.
As part of a deal with a special prosecutor handling charges against him, Plants also agreed to stop using corporal punishment to discipline his children and participate in a batterer's intervention program in Putnam County. After the 32-week program, Plants' charges may be dropped.
Putnam County prosecutor Mark Sorsaia said Wednesday that Plants has not yet enrolled in the program.
Last week, members of the Kanawha County Commission voted to file a petition to have Plants removed from office because of the increasing cost of paying a special prosecutor to handle cases Plants is barred by a court order from taking.
Responding to a petition filed by the city of Charleston, Kanawha Circuit Judge Duke Bloom barred Plants' office from handling cases involving charges of domestic violence.
Charleston Police first responded to the call to John Adams, but turned it over to the State Police because it involved Plants.

Pampered pooches were out in force as the nation's dog lovers descended on South Wales for the UK's first ever Pugfest.
The event saw around 800 people come together to celebrate their favourite wrinkly hounds.
Pugs of all ages and colours came to Court Colman Manor in Bridgend for the event, that managed to raise more than £1,000 for charity.
Jemima's Place Animal Trust, which provides emergency care for injured, homeless and unwanted animals, was the grateful recipient of the cash.
The event, which had pugs dressed up in colourful costumes, was set up by pug lover Rob Clowes in memory of his nine-year-old dog Poppy.
His father Martin, who helps run Jemima's Place Animal Trust, told WalesOnline: "We were astounded by the turn out. We had around 300 pugs running around which was just crazy.
"The car park was full within half an hour of the doors opening.
"People came from as far as Manchester and Plymouth and the rain held off which was great."
The festival featured everything from a pug dog show to pet care advice and grooming.
There was also a VIP (Very Important Pug) area as well as activities for children and a number of stalls and shops inside the hotel.
Martin added: "We are not sure yet how much money was raised but I think it will be well above £1,000.
"It's just amazing to see how many people own pugs.
"We are now planning an event in the run up to Christmas and Pugfest is definitely something we want to do every year.
"But I think next time we are going to need a bigger venue."

If you are looking for a warm and friendly destination for winter training and travel, Israel is the perfect place. Israel's mild winter weather is ideal for orienteering. The orienteering season in Israel runs from September through May, and the annual schedule includes two 2-day international championship events.
Israel offers a unique diversity of terrain, from prairie and badlands in the south, to Mediterranean woods along the coastal plain, to classic pine forests in the north of the country. Moreover, you'll enjoy exploring and discovering historical, cultural and religious sites alongside every venue.

Professor Helbert Spleen was a Healer who worked at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. He doubled as an advice columnist for the Daily Prophet, answering only the questions which related to health, while Grizel Hurtz, Zamira Gulch, and Dempster Wiggleswade handled other topics. In one issue, Spleen replied to a letter from Howland Coopey, diagnosing him with Dragon Pox based on the symptoms he described.
Behind the scenes
- The Daily Prophet referred to Spleen by the title "Professor." This may indicate that he once taught at a wizarding school. This can be, however, just an academic title.

"I ordered these to try out TinyPrints.com for the first time. The site was easy to use and I was pleased with the amount of choices and styles available. I received these at my front door- awesome! I just love these! They are just so gorgeous!"
"Recently moved so order these pretty address labels. Was very pleased with them. The labels I ordered are simple, elegant, modern, traditional but everyday useful. Delivery was very quick, arrived 3 days after I ordered. Will be ordering from Tiny Prints again in the near future."
"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"
"This label really dresses up a simple white envelope. Combined with the matching announcement, it makes for a classy looking presentation. Very satisfied!"

Three rebellious, bootlegging brothers find the elusive American Dream within their reach, and fight to maintain their grip as powerful urban gangsters reap the rewards of their hard work in this sprawling Great Depression-era crime drama from director John Hillcoat (The Road, The Proposition). At the height of Prohibition, ambitious country boy Jack Bondurant dreams of becoming "Public Enemy #1" while reaping all the benefits that go with the gangster lifestyle. By expanding his family's moonshining business, he plots to launch a vast criminal empire while winning the heart of beautiful Amish girl Bertha. With his older, intimidating brother Howard by his side, Jack has the brawn to get the job done, too. But they need a strong leader to guide them -- a responsibility that falls on their eldest sibling Forrest. Stoic and stalwart, Forrest is the kind of man who holds his cards close, and places a high value on character. Meanwhile, as the three siblings rise to power while battling treachery on both sides of the law, a mysterious woman named Maggie appears out of nowhere, prompting the thoughtful Forrest to question the true price of his outlaw ways.

The locations were interesting, same with the characters. Heard this was good and it is. The acting especially from the main leads.
lawless, is awesoem, it's got lots of action, mayhem, and suspense, it's an intense action thriller, but the only downsides are that it does drag a couple of times and gary oldman didn't have enough screentime, but still a great movie overall
I admit that at first I was highly doubtful about this movie, but as soon as the movie started I couldn't pull my eyes away. I just couldn't wait to see what happens to the brothers and especially Forrest. Although violent and somewhat gruesome at times, it is to be expected. I was thrilled to learn that this movie is a true story. Altogether it is a must see.

If you read my post World Cup column you'll be all too aware that I found the summer somewhat frustrating. To see some of the best players to ever have worn an England shirt perform so poorly could have put me off football completely – well, for a little while at least. I was therefore surprised to find that I was still pretty excited about the start of the new Premiership season.
One of the perks of this job is that I do find myself invited to the odd sporting event. I therefore had tickets for a couple of Premiership games on offer for the opening Saturday, but unfortunately I had prior commitments and couldn't go to either – one of them was Reading vs. Middlesbrough and having watched the highlights on Match of the Day I wish that I'd been there! But despite not being able to attend any of the opening games of the season, I did have the next best thing – high definition television.
I've had my Sky HD box for a little while now, but I've been biding my time waiting for the football season to kick off. Like most Sky HD customers, I've spent the past few weeks just watching anything if it's in HD – I know pretty much all there is to know about marine life, snow leopards, camels and caves. Yep, I've never watched so many documentaries in my life, but to be honest the BBC's Planet Earth looks so breathtaking in HD that I would happily watch it again and again almost every night of the week. But I digress…
The opening game of the season pitted Liverpool against newly promoted Sheffield United. If anything it was a truly unspectacular performance from Liverpool, with the loss of Riise and Carragher to twisted ankles being the only real drama on offer until Gerrard was awarded his penalty (duly deserved in my opinion). But despite Liverpool's mediocrity, nothing should be taken away from Sheffield United who put in a superb performance in their first top flight fixture.
But even though the opening game of the 2006/2007 campaign was far from a classic, it was still an awe inspiring match for me. In high definition, the match was a truly stunning spectacle and one that managed to impress even an old technology hack like myself. I have to say that I wasn't sure about just how good Sky's HD football broadcasts would be – being cynical I wasn't convinced that the bit rate would be high enough to really do the game justice, but how wrong I was.
I guess if I'd thought things through properly I wouldn't have been so cynical, after all, Sky wants as many people to sign up for its HD service as possible. The best way to get new Sky HD customers is for those prospective subscribers to go round to a friend's house, see Sky HD in action and go "WOW!â€. And, to be honest, if any of my footie mad friends had come over at the weekend, that's exactly what they would have said – yes I do mean you Gordon!

Benoni (South Africa): New Zealand brushed aside Canada by five wickets on Monday and then waited for other results to know if it had qualified for the World Cup Super Sixes.Having bowled out Canada for 196 despite John Davison's 75 off 62 balls, the Kiwis hit out to secure victory in 23 overs at the Willowmoore Park and take their net run rate to 0.99.Scott Styris, who began the tournament with a century against Sri Lanka, ended the league with 54 not out off 38 balls.New Zealand finished its league engagements with 16 points, the same as Sri Lanka and hosts South Africa, who were playing their last match under the Kingsmead lights at Durban on Monday.Kenya has already qualified from Group 'B', leaving the Kiwis, South Africa and Sri Lanka to battle for the remaining two places.The Kiwis, who lost their opening game to Sri Lanka, played their best cricket to defeat both South Africa and the West Indies.That should have been enough to see them through to the next round, except the decision to forfeit the game against Kenya at Nairobi on February 21 has returned to haunt them.Davison, who smashed the fastest World Cup century off 67 balls against the West Indies earlier in the tournament, decimated the Kiwi attack with 75 off 62 balls that included nine boundaries and four sixes.Two of those sixes off seamer Jacob Oram sailed out of the Willowmoore Park as Davison reached 50 off just 25 deliveries.But as the South Australian state player went for another big hit, he was deceived in the air by Chris Harris and lofted the ball straight to Chris Cairns on the long-on fence.It was enough for the Kiwis to sense an opening and allowed Canada to score just 116 runs more after they were happily placed at 80 for two in the 15th over.Oram fought back after the early battering from Davison to claim four for 52 while fast bowler Shane Bond finished with 3-29 from his 10 overs."We've got a nervous evening ahead of us now. We are not sure whichway it will go and we'll have to wait and see. We knew run rate wasthe factor today. Davison put us under a lot of pressure, he strikes aclean ball and hits a big ball," Fleming said."We wanted to get the runs in the first 16 overs but that was a bitoptimistic. We had two or three strategies in place and we were happyabout how it went," he added. Styris said he was very pleased with his batting form, but was willingto trade it for a place in the next round. "We lost some early wickets and had to consolidate our position. I amvery pleased with my form here but I would trade it all in for a placein the Super Sixes," Styris said. Copyright AFP 2001

I found this to be an excellent read.
+1. I stumbled onto it before my last deployment. It's a very good, plain english description of the phsychological and physiological effects of combat (or other critical stress incidents). It's full of stories from actual military and law enforcement personnel to illustrate it's points.
I'd have to give it a nod as well. I've read that and On Killing, and prefer On Combat. Much more topical for us.

I do believe however he could have knocked it back a bit and still stayed on the race track. I am pretty sure he would have not finished last and thus picked up a couple of points. There are a lot of people who put a shed load of effort in to getting these guys on the grid, in effort, time and money. If he thought he could not do the job then he should have had the nerve to say so in advance, rather than come back too soon and a stand in rider, desperate for a chance, could have been out on the bike.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Tiny plant-feeding insects called thrips can do major damage to crops. During the summer of 1996, a new, exotic thrips caused serious damage to avocado fruits and trees in Ventura county in southern California. Damaged avocado groves and backyard trees were found in seven counties by July of 1997. This tiny thrips belongs to the same group of insects that include the native citrus thrips which damage oranges in southern California. The information presented here on morphological characters enables the identification of the species and provides clues to researchers for locating the origin of the species and thereby leading to possible sources of natural enemies. The thrips is new to science and is described here as Scirtothrips perseae to provide a scientific name needed by researchers ad associated workers for their biological and field studies, development of control methods, registration of pesticides, writing grant proposals, and for reports and communication about the thrips.
Technical Abstract: Scirtothrips perseae new species is described. It is a pest of avocado in southern California.

SUDBURY, MA – The fifth-grade boys of the Lincoln-Sudbury Youth Lacrosse program recently received a lesson in community spirit from LXM Pro player Sean Morris and MLL stars Brett Queener and Justin Smith.
The L/S Youth program recently organized a shipment of supplies and letters from its fifth-grade team to Matt Russell, the Naval Academy All-American goalkeeper who is now serving as a Marine Officer stationed in Afghanistan. The L/S lacrosse families shipped boxes of needed food, medicines, sunscreen and candy to Matt's troops at Camp Leatherneck. The campaign was organized as an opportunity for the boys to learn how members of the lacrosse community should support each other.
The pro players returned this lesson in spades when they volunteered to thank the L/S boys by putting on a clinic and signing helmets, sticks and jerseys. The pro players are all friends of Matt and are active in supporting lacrosse players that are serving in the military. Morris has been involved in similar efforts by the EMass Junior Minutemen lacrosse club.
"Any opportunity to support our country and a close friend in Matt, it was a no brainer to get involved. I have played with and against several of the Midshipmen, but we are all together in protecting our country's freedom" says Morris.
Sean, Justin and Brett gave the youth of L/S a 60-minute clinic that was filled with teaching the secrets of lacrosse fundamentals that have made these three so successful. The men entertained the L/S players and coaches with a shooting skills clinic that stressed fundamentals. The pros then showed the results of proper technique and practice by firing a few lasers into the net that reached 100 mph.
When the teaching was done, the men performed remarkable stick tricks. Queener, MLL's leading goalkeeper and Inside Lacrosse's Personality of the Year, kept the boys riveted with his engaging showmanship and stick skills. The entire clinic was conducted with an overwhelming energy that Morris explained to the boys was exactly what made Matt Russell successful at the game.

WBA super featherweight champion Jorge Linares (27-0, 18 KOs) retained his belt with an eighth round KO over Josafat Perez (12-2, 7 KOs) on Saturday night at the Plaza de Toros in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Referee Luis Pabon waved off the one-sided affair at the 1:40 mark of the eighth round to protect the challenger from further abuse. It was Linares' first defense of the WBA 130lb belt after previously holding the WBC featherweight strap.

SNA765 or SNA765P or SNA765P1
AKA Black Polka Dot
Price: Low $200s online (average), $475 retail stores
This watch is gunmetal in color with a distinctive black polka dot dial and red chronograph and alarm hands. The band and crown gives a nod to the swoopy, tank-like watches from Oakley (Blade or Judge, specifically) but adds a crispness with the finer increments around the dial (1/5 second). The gunmetal finish adds to the rugged appeal.
Movement is typical Seiko quartz, very accurate with a satisfying, not obnoctious, tick. Chronograph capable of 1/5 second timing.
Mineral Crystal
Bracelet and clasp can be described as supple. No snags on my arm hair whatsover. The finish on the metal made the bracelet slides like silk. After working at a metal desk, the clasp began to show wear on the plating.
Chronograph and tachymeter function was very nice. One thing I noticed, in comparison to a friend's older Seiko, when resetting the stopwatch the SNA765 does NOT make the beeping noise as the second hand resets to top dead center. Alarm function works well once you get the hang of setting it. Also, the alarm hands follow the regular hands if you so choose.
Overall, a great Seiko entry-level timepiece. I was very satisfied with wearing it. It matches dark clothing well with its understated features and smooth design. The SNA765 is a divergence from the norm of oversized, protruding dials.
Only recommendation would be to make the illuminating dials last a little longer. I don't have an exact length of time they would last, but it wasn't impressive.
Forgive the stock image, my SNA765 was stolen from my checked bag (lesson learned). I'm considering purchasing a replacement.

The story of Maya Angelou's extraordinary life has been chronicled in her multiple best-selling autobiographies. But now, at last, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her relationship with her mother. For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence - a presence absent during much of Angelou's early life.
"Never Enough Mom Books"
For a mother who's accustomed to having been number one in her son's life, the arrival of a girlfriend, fiancé, or wife can be a complicated, confusing, and emotionally challenging event. Likewise, coexisting harmoniously with the mother of her partner can be an overwhelming challenge for any woman. Sons, often caught in the middle, are sometimes understandably reluctant to take sides.
A girl is lost and can't find her mom. Why won't anyone help her? Performed by Bee Herbstman, Melanie Hoopes, Ed Herbstman, Evan Sudarsky Abadi, Gregory C. Jones, and Blanche Ames. Written by Diana McCorry, Produced by Jonathan Mitchell. The Truth is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.
In the simplicity of a bedtime story, a child asks a very important question: Mom, how much does God love me? Author Wanda E. Binion uses biblical truths, supported by Scripture, to provide the answer. The author gently speaks to the hearts of children. However, both children and adults, as they listen to this book, will delight to experience the great love that God has for each individual he has created.
Annie Korzen's solo extravaganza is a sophisticated celebration of womanhood, from the Bronx to Beverly Hills. The universality of her stories of courtship, career, marriage and motherhood, of family and friendship tell what it's like growing up female and ________ (fill in the blank with any ethnicity).

Team News, 2003-2004 Season - Ohlone College Renegades Women's Basketball
Stanley has Ohlone on rise
By Jack Rux, Staff Writer.
Reprinted from The Tri-Valley Herald - Thursday, February 15, 2004.
A run of adversity has hit the Ohlone College Lady Renegades in Elizabeth Stanley's third season as the women's basketball coach.
But despite three straight losses that have dropped the Lady Renegades to 9-4, this may still be their winter of content, if Stanley's record is any indication.
Judging by her 19-10 record last year and her previous eight seasons at Amador Valley High in Pleasanton (1993-2001), success should be her middle name.
She guided the Dons to five NorCal title games and three state finals.
Even with the recent spate of losses, Ohlone remains the leading women's JC team in the East Bay, and Stanley's squad is intent on ending San Jose City's three-year reign in the Coast Conference South Division. She remains confident.
"Every game we've lost, it's been close, and we've only lost to (state-)ranked teams," Stanley said. "We lost two games in overtime and one at the buzzer (to state power Butte). So we have been right there."
There has definitely been an Amador Valley connection that has helped Stanley in her efforts to turn around Ohlone.
Vanessa Rogers and Dominique Reed played for her at Amador Valley, and 6-foot-1 center Megan Foy, from a Minneapolis suburb, met Rogers when both were freshmen at Montana State last year.
Foy leads the team in scoring and rebounding, averaging 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Rogers, a 5-5 guard, averages 14 ppg.
"I moved here because of Vanessa," Foy said. "She said you could play for her coach, and it would be a good deal."
It has been good, Foy affirmed.
"I love California. I'm staying with a wonderful family, and I'm just having a bunch of fun," Foy said. "And this season has put the fun back in the game for me."
The family with whom Foy is staying is Rogers', whose parents have moved to Fremont.
Although Foy left Montana State after one school year as did Rogers (all but six players quit the team, Foy said), Foy added that it was an overall positive experience.
"I grew as a person, I matured, and I learned how to deal with different types of people about me," Foy said. "It gave me a new aspect on basketball, academics and being independent."
Foy hopes to land at another Division I school after one season at Ohlone, and she thinks she will make a better choice this time.
Asked what she plans to do differently, Foy said: "Just to explore my options more. I just went with the first offer I got. I learned that coaches at any level are going to tell you what you want to hear. That's just a part of the recruiting process."
Meanwhile, the Renegades hope to get back on track, with the target date being Wednesday when they open conference play at San Jose City.
Helping in that regard should be the return of two starters -- 5-10 forward Salinna Grant, a sophomore from Livermore, and Mindi Winters, a freshman guard from Fremont's Washington High.
Grant returned Wednesday night from a one-month suspension for academic reasons (although she remained academically eligible), and Winters returned Friday from a severely sprained ankle suffered on a flagrant foul vs. Foothill on Dec.17.
"Salinna's our energy boost," Stanley said. "She gives us a charge, gets us going when we're down. And Mindi is our calm during the storm, almost the opposite of Salinna. She's just what we need when things get chaotic and shaky out there. She brings us back."
