edit, just noticed the ampohm is copper foil paper and oil, not polypropelene. in that case relcap is the go. mistakenly thought it was polypropelene because most of their other caps are based on that dielectric.
but realy nothing is swaying me from vcap CuTF, just need to decide on what the larger polypropelene caps will be

Yeah that's the question, what larger polypropylene caps be? foil or metallized?
My favorites polypropylene caps are:
Metallized: Auricap (very good ratio perfomance/price)
Tin foil: Obbligatos (very good ratio perfomance/price)
About small caps to bypass I prefer teflon over polystyrenes but polystyrenes are my 2nd choice, also I like foil over metallized & copper over tin, about value I mind 10nF = 0.01uF are right 0.1uF can be oversized & will create problems. I like your choice V-Cap CuTF copper foil & teflon film but are a little expensives 54$81 each 2-4 pieces at parts-connexion V-Cap 0.01 uf / 600V CuTF Series here my 1st choice for very good ratio quality/price is Sonicap Platinum aluminium foil & teflon film better than tin foil an affordable at 24$80 each Sonicap Platinum

hmm, i've never experienced any problems (subjectively) with 100nf bypass before, perhaps it has to do with most of my amps I always make sure they have very large inputZ, so really at that size they do most of the work. sometimes I will also add a 3rd cap in parallel at something like 100-1000pf for good measure. I will not rest until I have a servo on the output though no cap is a good cap IMO. as a general rule I tend to step the sizes by 1/100 so if possible I will use something like 10uf/100nf/1nf or 4.7uf/.047uf/470pf. its all jiggery pokery though
so my choices are of course the CuTF, already have 2 x 0.1uf and will get another 2
for large cap
jantzen superior
I already have some jantzen superior too, but only 4.7u and only 2, so I think my mind is pretty much made up on auricap, I wish I could find a large enough value film and foil that wasnt insanely priced, most are metalized, which is OK, but not ideal. I have had good experience with auricap and am getting some smaller ones for power supply bypassing in my rectifier and regs (my sigma22, sigma11 and salas regs), as they really are quite compact in the smaller values.
the obligato are just too physically large for me to consider and which I would love to get mundorf supreme, they are considerably more expensive than equivalent other brands. so you really pay for the name.

My I/V, preamp, poweramp are all balanced Erno Borbely without any cap on the signal way, he uses servo to avoid DC.
Yes I also apply the rule 1/100 but only when you bypass films, sorry only if bypassing lytics with films is where I can't apply the rule.
Once I did a comparison test between Auricap 0.47uF/1500VDC vs Jantzen Superior Z-Cap 800VDC could you imagine which one the best?

yeah I know he does, i'm thinking of getting a couple of boards made up for his IV/line amp from his articles, as I have tried to contact his new distributor about buying some kits for regs and an IV and have not recieved a reply, myself and a friend from oz were throwing in together, so apparently he doesnt want our 2000USD. contacted erno just before he stopped taking credit card orders and he forwarded it onto the new kit guy in asia and I have not received a response. so yeah I like servo, but its a little tricky for this IV
not sure on your cap battle, I havent really spent any time doing any critical listening to the jantzens, though I do suspect they were the winner, the build quality is superb.
am I warm?

About caps war the winner was Auricap 1500V over Jantzen 800V so I learn a lesson: more voltage = more dielectric & more conductive material, but always is the subjective opinion what are you looking for: Auricap more body & Jantzen more transparent so finally you can select as per your own taste. I like too the Jantzen build quality but I think the Obbligatos have more build quality, a photo just for fun

Boards arrived today.
Could you please indicate the proper orientation for the input protection diodes? You had mentioned a little tent instead of the layout on the board.
Also do you have any matched transistors left. I never received pricing info and my order may have been confused with the r order cancellation.
Thanks for all the great work.

I never sent anyone pricing info, because until I received the matching parameters I had only a vague idea of the time that might be involved for each match (I was pretty clear with everyone I wouldnt be giving a price till I knew what was involved). I have not received the fets yet, although I expect them to be here early this week, but until I have done a few I dont know how long each will take and I also dont know how many matched sets I will have, going by opc's results I should get about 20 pairs out of 120, so 10 sets, now at least 4 of those minimum are gone just for myself and flocchini, so they are all gone I think, but you were in my list still despite the late resistor cancellation. I may get more matches with this amount and there will be some that are not as well matched, but still as well as most other matched devices.
I have also bought about 75 dollars worth of parts and another DMM to facilitate doing this properly, including a few parts for the power supply to allow better adjustment, a few parts to build a small but transparent opamp circuit to allow adjustment of signal strength of a 1khz wav file or synth signal for signal generator and some keystone test points that will accept the bananas on my DMMs when soldered into the circuit at the right points instead of using clips. still need to find some sip sockets or something to allow trouble free swapping of the fets.
@ Merlin, receiving a reply from Erno himself has never been a problem, but this new guy I havent heard a peep out of him, Erno and I have been chatting about the purchase for a while, but it took me realizing that I may not get another chance to get me to forget about the price, hes always been very helpful but he copied the email he sent to the new guy to me, so I know he recieved it, but that was almost a month ago now. TBH now with all my other IVs i'm not sure i'll buy the IV from him, I will probably just use the files to get a double sided board made up, but I do want some supershunts.
yeah i'll be going with auricap too I think, as I said i've never compared them, but I guess my eyes allowed the build quality to fool me that they might be better given the brief listen I have had with them.

Laundry room layout help?
2 Attachment(s)
I am redoing my laundry and am needing some design help. The pics show the old setup which consisted of a hot water tank (in behind the closet door) next to a raised wahsroom (covering the rest of the wall). The entrance to the crawlspace was a 2'x2' cutout in the washroom itself. I need to come up with some way to have a crawlspace access, toilet/sink, and hot water tank. The toilet piping will also be run under the concrete.
Okay, I admit I'm blond, but I'm having trouble picturing everything.
Maybe you could provide a bit more information like a scale drawing of the space. Including surrounding rooms may help.
What all do you want to move?
Where is the crawlspace you need access to and where is your current access?
Your toilet is currently elevated but you want to get rid of the elevation and put it into the concrete slab. Is this correct?

Another day, another tablet computer. The seemingly endless stream of portable devices was added to today when it was revealed that LG is planning on bringing out a Windows 7-based tablet computer - rather fetchingly called the H1000B.
However the sleek and sexy look of the product belies the mundane name which in time will no doubt become something a lot more powerful (and related to a Norse god of some kind).
The revelation came following the device's appearance on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s website in the form of a new testing report
Following the FCC report appearing, a photo (via TwitPic) soon appeared on the web and accompanying text (in Korean) suggested that the tablet will run Windows 7 and have some sort of multi-touch input.
The filings by the FCC also reveal the device will have standard features such as an SD card slot, WiFi and Bluetooth. FCC label pictures also show an online of the H1000B, which is similar to the device pictured on TwitPic. There's obviously no word on price yet but it looks as if it will be towards the top end of the market compared with some other tablets.
The new device could be unveiled at CES 2011 and if it is then we will be on hand to bring you the first official reaction to the device from our team on the ground in Las Vegas at the beginning of January. It's a tough life but we're willing to go to these places just for you.

ATHENS, Ga. --- Under the guidance of first-year Georgia head coach Joel McCartney, the Georgia volleyball program underwent a season of change in 2007, posting its first winning season in three years with a 17-13 overall record.
Following just a six-win season in the previous season, the 2007 Bulldogs wasted no time in turning to winning ways by starting the season 8-0, tying the 1993 Georgia squad for the third-best start in school history. What was even more impressive with the 8-0 start was that all eight victories were shutouts, which tied a school record for consecutive shutouts. The Bulldogs also tied a school record for consecutive games won at 25 by taking the first game against Georgia Tech on Sept. 7.
Georgia closed its non-conference schedule with a record of 9-1 record including a tournament title at the Georgia Southern Invitational. The 9-1 record was the best record for a UGA team heading into conference play since the 1992 squad went 12-1 before its first Southeastern Conference contest.
The Bulldogs then posted eight conference victories, the most league wins since 2004. Georgia's 17 total wins and eight SEC wins arguably signified the biggest change for the volleyball program as both totals surpassed the combined total number of overall and conference wins from the 2005 and 2006 seasons. The 2005 team managed 10 wins including five SEC victories, while the 2006 team won just six matches and two league contests.
One of the key performers for the Bulldogs in 2007 was junior outside hitter Maria Taylor, who led the SEC with 4.65 kills per game and was named to the All-SEC Second-Team. Against Arkansas on Oct. 5, Taylor posted 29 kills, 11 digs and 10 blocks to record Georgia's first triple-double since 2003 and just the school's second in the last 10 years. She also had a team-best 10 double-double matches and eclipsed the 30-kills mark twice with a career-high 33 at Georgia Tech on Sept. 7 and 31 vs. Tennessee on Sept. 23.
Taylor finished the season with 498 kills bringing her career total to 1,320. She will enter next season needing 316 kills to break onto Georgia's top-five all-time kills leaders list.
Helping pace Taylor and the rest of the Georgia offense in 2007 was junior transfer setter Mara Martin. Martin joined the Bulldogs from the University of Michigan, where she recorded 1,282 assists for the Wolverines. In 2007, she posted 1,186 assists for the Bulldogs including a season-best 66 in UGA's 3-2 win over Tennessee on Sept. 23.
Another change in 2007 came when senior Renee Johnson switched positions just prior to the start of the season moving from outside hitter to libero. In that role, she provided Georgia with a team-best 390 digs.
Johnson was one of four seniors who saw their Bulldog careers come to a close. Defensive specialist Brooke Burlingame, outside hitter Alexis Morgan and setter Chelsea Young joined Johnson in turning the program over to a stellar class of true freshmen in 2007.
The freshmen group was led by outside hitter Erika Clark, who was named to the SEC's All-Freshman Team after finishing second on the team with 300 kills. Clark was named an SEC Freshman of the Week after helping the Bulldogs to the Georgia Southern Invitational title.
Fellow freshman middle hitter/outside hitter Britta Buethe also earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors in 2007 after she totaling a career-high 14 kills against both Wofford and then sixth-ranked Florida.
The Bulldogs also had a pair of middle hitters who proved valuable in 2007. Lindsay Gehan led the team in blocks with 144, the 10th-most in a single season in UGA history. Valentina Gonzalez took over a middle blocker position from junior Brooke Peugh midway through the season after Peugh's season was cut short due to a shoulder injury. Peugh was leading the Bulldogs and was among the SEC's leaders with a hitting percentage of .365 at the time of her injury. Nonetheless, Gonzalez filled in by becoming the third-leading blocker on the team by the end of the season with 77 trailing on Gehan and Taylor, who was second on the team with 125 blocks.
The fifth freshman in the 2007 class, Kelsey Burkett, provided Georgia with 26 digs as a defensive specialist.
Adding to Georgia's 2007 accolades was junior Anjelica Partridge's selection to the SEC Community Service Team. Partridge found time among her academic and athletic schedules in 2007 to be involved throughout the Athens community at various schools, St. Mary's Hospital and the East Athens Community Center as well as serving as a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Coach McCartney came to Georgia with a career head coaching record of 282-100 (.744), which ranked 15th among active NCAA Division I head coaches at the start of the year. He became the first Georgia head coach to open his Bulldog career on a winning streak. Then, by finishing the season with 17 overall wins, McCartney tied Sid Feldman, Georgia's first-ever head coach, for the second-most wins by a coach in his/her first year at the helm. The Bulldogs' eight SEC wins are the most league wins ever by a first-year Georgia head coach.
Georgia's first win in 2008 will mark a career milestone for McCartney in that it will be his 300th head coaching victory. His career record now stands at 299-113 (.726).

Pet Sounds was released 50 years ago yesterday. Created by Brian Wilson in the studio while the rest of the Beach Boys were on tour, it totally changed how pop albums were made. No longer one or two hits plus filler songs, Pet Sounds was a complete story from start to finish. Every so-called "concept" album since follows the model Pet Sounds created in 1966.
If you buy it today, it comes with both a stereo and mono mix. While both are outstanding, the mono mix is what Brian Wilson intended for the album to be.

|Related to content of DLC:
This is an issue that was present in ArmA2 and has now also been seen in OA (both 1.52 and beta 71900).
It is possible, after a combination of key-presses, for the players's avatar to continue moving forward at a walk even after all keys have been released. The movement continues indefinitely until another movement key is then pressed and released.
This has been reported by many people during MP, I haven't yet seen it in SP although this may just be because MP PvP tends to lend itself to the kind of jinking and button-mashing that provokes the problem !
I suspect it is caused by some combination of sprinting (Wx2) and rapidly jinking left and right. I will add further informaton as and when I have it.

hm are you sure a key combo to be the source?
I am only aware of the issue with disable key input to have the key(s) stuck
pressed that moment. Once we dropped that from AAS, we never ever had the problem again.
Updated by sbsmac almost 7 years ago
I can confirm that disableKeyInput is not used at all in the missions that exhibit this behaviour.
The only key-related handling I do is
(FindDisplay 46) DisplaySetEventHandler ["keydown"," _null = [_this select 1] spawn check "];
where check returns true in the case where the pressed key is either bound to 'salute' or 'command mode'. One could imagine keyboard-matrix ghosting resulting in the wrong DIK-code being reported to the event-handler but the error here seems to be one where a keyup event is being lost (or, more likely, animation-state is becoming confused).
Xeno has also confirmed (by Wave) that he has seen this in his missions and thinks that it was introduced sometime just before the 1.05 patch release. My recollection is similar and it may have crept it around the time that #4043 was fixed.
So in summary, I'm pretty sure that this is not a script related issue but I'm still looking for a good repro case.
Updated by kju almost 7 years ago
- Due date changed from 08/01/2010 to 10/01/2010
- Status changed from Feedback to Assigned
Xeno most likely refers to the changed behavior of disable user input.
It was introduced shortly before 1.05 final (aka in 1.05 BETA).
AAS was the only missions I know of with the problem
(due to that disable user input left over from norrin revive).
There might be very well a different issue; I am just pointing out this now
known source and once removed, we never had a problem again.
Updated by Xeno almost 7 years ago
I had it a few times when playing online with OA, no other addons started.
It was a PvP mission (cfarma2 server). No revive, just plain and simple pvp.

I can confirm this, got already used to it honestly. Don´t know if it´s still present in the latest Beta-Patches. Will have an eye on it.
Updated by sbsmac almost 7 years ago

Fireball - I'm not sure this is a duplicate. In my case I think the movement is forward rather than sideways. Quite likely the same underlying mechanism though.
Updated by kju almost 7 years ago
Does it happen for someone who is not using default controls?

Still present (seems slightly worse) in 1.56.

Do you play with default controls?
Can you please attach a mission where it happens.
This has yet to be seen in ECL, AAS, A&S missions or anything we played in OA.
That said I heard that valhalla might have the problem (as do very old AAS versions
that had the DEH issue I think - cannot remember the exact source atm).
Updated by sbsmac over 6 years ago
Yes, I play with default controls. It's happened for me (and others) on a wide variety of missions. I am starting to suspect it may be provoked when reloading on the move but because it only tends to happen a few times in several hours of gameplay it's very difficult to say for sure.
Updated by sbsmac over 6 years ago
Happened again last night with 1.57 patch
Updated by Sickboy over 6 years ago
DisplayEventHandler sounds plausible; have you confirmed there is no DEH usage whatsoever in the missions tested?
Updated by kju over 6 years ago
- Affected ArmA II version changed from 1.56.76134 to 1.57.76815
Updated by sbsmac over 6 years ago
Sickboy - see comment #2. The maps I usually play (and have seen this problem on) are available from http://www.armaleague.com/apl_maps/apl_ctf_16-Apr-10.rar. Since these are based on my scripts I know that the only use of the key event handler is as described above. I'm also pretty sure I've seen this problem on maps based on completely different scripts. (See also Xeno's comment #4). If one supposes it is a problem with the 'keydown' event handler the only mechanism I can think of would be for keyboard-matrix ghosting to somehow cause a 'keyup' event for one of the move keys to be interpreted as a 'keydown' event for the salute action. Counter-evidence for this is that the problem does not exhibit the action I've bound to the salute key as would be expected if ghosting was at work.

The script looks fine. A few suggestions nevertheless:
a) Instead of the sleep at the end you can do:
waitUntil {sleep 0.01; (!(isNull (findDisplay 46)))};
b) Use a switch statement in dokeyCheck. AFAIK I remember the issue in AAS was that the script not always returned a value for the DEH. This should not happen in yours, but maybe making it more robust will help.
c) Integrate the updateKeyBindings code directly in dokeyCheck. The async updating of the values may be a problem in rare cases.
d) Finally try to disable your DEH completely and see if it helps (via mission param).

Just experienced exactly the same issue on a mission with a completely different set of scripts. So really, I think all this attention on DEH is a red-herring.
Updated by kju over 6 years ago
What mission was it? Can you attach it please.
Updated by sbsmac over 6 years ago
- File CTFRockyWoods-C5-.Chernarus.pbo added
Attached. No use of DEH that I can see.

Thanks Mac. The mission is very simple, old school OFP coding. :)
The sticky keys action I know only happened with/after respawn;
this is different here, right?
Can you please attach your profile to see whether key assignment
are default or any different.
If it is only a controls issue, which it may well be too,
someone needs to sit down and spend some time in the editor
trying to reproduce it.
People have done this for various other issues too.
Should be doable here too.

My 5yr Border Collie has been barking with a hoarde voice now for about a month
Took her to vet and she said its Kennel cough. She put her on Doxyfog antibiotics and gave her cortidone injection. But she is not coughing at all. Is it really kennel cough?

Kennel cough is a common name for a virus dogs get. It is like the common cold. Just like a cold, it may, but does not always include a cough. What you describe is consistent with an upper respiratory infection.

July 7th, 2010
In April 2010, the Bioethics Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) called for a relaxation of laws surrounding female genital cutting in the US. After outrage form activists, doctors, and the public the AAP recalled its statement. 1
Intact America has released an open letter to the AAP's task force on circumcision, published in The Washington Post on July 1st, to bring attention to the continued cutting of boys genitals in the US in the form of circumcision. The letter states, "Intact America calls upon the AAP to adopt a position acknowledging that both girls and boys have the right to an intact body, that they be free from genital cutting by doctors or any other ritual practitioners – and to recommend that pediatricians NOT engage in the cutting of children's genitals."
Please tell the American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force on Circumcision that the AAP simply must stand by its oath to "protect all children," and recommend against routine infant circumcision.

You should definitely look into trying to get that ruling overturned, but it may be difficult without a lawyer, and with one it may be difficult and expensive. Wouldn't hurt to consult one and see what they say. Good luck.

I was denied my CHP because i was charged with Simple Assault when i was 17 in high school the guy spitted on me and i pushed him. I am wondering if it would be worth the hassle to appeal the CHP with the district judge or will it cost money to appeal. I am wanting to do this because i work in my business and i have had 4 men at different times tried to rob me and i had my NAA Wasp .22 Magnum and sometimes i will carry my wifes XDS .45 in my pocket at work and i was lucky each time even though i can carry concealed in my business and home and i really want to get my CHP.
You should definitely look into trying to get that ruling overturned, but it may be difficult without a lawyer, and with one it may be difficult and expensive. Wouldn't hurt to consult one and see what they say. Good luck.
First off welcome to the forum.
You don't say how long ago the Simple Assault charges happened. You do say you were a minor at the time. You can try the appeals process. Not sure if your state charges for the process or not. As long as you are representing yourself, the only cost would be that for the appeal process. If you have to have or elect to a lawyer represent you, then it is going to be expensive. Another option is seeing if you can have your record expunged. Then reapply for a permit. In the mean time, You need to make sure you do not carry off property concealed. If you do and get caught, you can forget about getting a permit, even if was an acident.

Thank you for the welcome i got a prayer of judgement that is all it says on the record check in the courthouse and it happen in october 2001 and i was 17 but the application said simple assault prayer of judgement continued only and i founded out that after you turned 16 the courts considered you as a adult
In North Carolina everyone 16 and older is considered an "adult" for the purposes of criminal charges, 16 and 17 year olds are always charged as adults. That said, there is a procedure for getting a record expunged for a conviction while under 18, though I'm not familiar with the specifics. If simple assault is a disqualifier under NC law (I think it is), then there is no point appealing so long as it is still one your record, the appeal would be denied also.
Another option would be to get a non-resident permit from a state where simple assault wouldn't disqualify you. North Carolina honors all other states' permits, and nothing in the law says that a NC resident must obtain a NC permit. Perhaps that was the intent, but the law doesn't actually say that.
"The Engine could still smile...it seemed to scare them" -Felix
Here is the information for Virginia:
Virginia State Police - Nonresident Concealed Handgun Permits
A simple assault in 2001 wouldn't disqualify you, Virginia just requires that such a conviction be more than 3 years in the past.
Here is Florida's information:
Concealed Weapons or Firearm Program - Division of Licensing, FDACS
I didn't check their requirements in reference to simple assault, but there is a PDF that lists disqualifiers.
"The Engine could still smile...it seemed to scare them" -Felix
Dude, just go for it. Make an appt. with a mouthpiece. Talking to a bunch of strangers who really have no idea isn't furthering your cause.
Bottom Line: An applicant may appeal the denial, revocation, or non-renewal of a permit by petitioning the Chief District Court Judge. You need to contact the District Court of the county you live in to find out the process for appeal. Once you have the appeal process I might be able to help you more.
Found North Carolina General Statute 122C-54.1 which states, in relevant part:
(b) The sheriff shall deny a permit to an applicant who:
(8) Is or has been adjudicated guilty of or received a prayer for judgment continued or suspended sentence for one or more crimes of violence constituting a misdemeanor, including but not limited to, a violation of a misdemeanor under Article 8 of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes, or a violation of a misdemeanor under G.S. 14‑225.2, 14‑226.1, 14‑258.1, 14‑269.2, 14‑269.3, 14‑269.4, 14‑269.6, 14‑276.1, 14‑277, 14‑277.1, 14‑277.2, 14‑277.3A, 14‑281.1, 14‑283, 14‑288.2, 14‑288.4(a)(1) or (2), 14‑288.6, 14‑288.9, 14‑288.12, 14‑288.13, 14‑288.14, 14‑318.2, 14‑415.21(b), 14‑415.26(d), or former G.S. 14‑277.3.
The issue is the part in bold above: including but not limited to, a violation of a misdemeanor [crime of violence]
The Sheriff has to deny your permit based upon the permit statute. I would talk to a lawyer to find out which course of action is best:
1. Appeal to the Chief Judge of the District Court of your county of residence (don't know if you the judge can overturn the Sheriff's decision which appears to a denial as required by the statute); or
2. File a motion for expungement based upon the conviction having occurred prior to you turning 18; or
3. Seek a pardon from the Governor of North Carolina. You can get more info on pardons here.
For expungement it is not a difficult process. I found the governing statute: North Carolina General Statute 15A-145
You don't state whether you were convicted, or merely charged. Not that my opinion matters at all, because I am not familiar with the law in your area. I had a 4 year old (dropped) charge for assault, from when i bitchslapped a jerk who took a poke at me and figuratively emasculated him in front of his wife and others. He called the cops after I left and filed a report. The DA initially made charges and then dropped them after I came over to discuss the matter. When i applied for CCW 4years later the Sheriff did want me to explain it to him, and when I gave him the named of the guy he laughed and signed the form. Small town.
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
Who issues the actual denial? Start with calling and making an appointment to talk with that person (I'm not sure if that is a Judge or Sherrif in NC). Be well dressed, well mannered, polite, and respectful. See what they have to say (more listening than talking). Find out what the process for appeal is by either studying the NC code section or paying a lawyer to assist you in whatever needs to be done to get you where you need to be. In the end, you might have to lawyer up, but maybe not.

Company Reviews
Hey folks,
This message is being posted in every forum. It's just an announcement, so you can't reply to it.
Just wanted to remind everyone that might not know that we do have a section on this site for reviewing hot rod companies. The reviews have been slowing down lately, so I thought I might post a general message to encourage everyone to post company reviews.
The Company Reviews section works like this:
We have over 150 hot rod companies listed -- all the big boys, plus a ton of other companies.
You locate the company for which you would like to leave a review (they're in alphabetical order), and then you just type in your comments, and a 1 to 5 star rating of the company.
Your review gets added to that company, so that anyone looking up info on that company can see the comments that others have left behind.
If you've had a good experience with a particular company, please put up a review so that everyone knows who the "good ones" are. Also, if you've had a negative experience with a certain company, put up a review so that your fellow rodders don't get screwed. We've already had some feedback from companies that are checking their status in the review section, so you can be sure that your voice will be heard!
The Company Reviews section is an excellent tool to use for finding out info on companies before you fork over your hard-earned cash. BUT -- just like the Bulletin Board, the Company Reviews section is only as good as the people that post reviews. WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU GUYS!!

Source: The Wall Street Journal
On the ground floor of a six-story building here, agents working for Moammar Gadhafi sat in an open room, spying on emails and chat messages with the help of technology Libya acquired from the West.
The recently abandoned room is lined with posters and English-language training manuals stamped with the name Amesys, a unit of French technology firm Bull SA, which installed the monitoring center. A warning by the door bears the Amesys logo. The sign reads: "Help keep our classified business secret. Don't discuss classified information out of the HQ."
The room, explored Monday by The Wall Street Journal, provides clear new evidence of foreign companies' cooperation in the repression of Libyans under Col. Gadhafi's almost 42-year rule. The surveillance files found here include emails written as recently as February, after the Libyan uprising had begun.
WSJ's Alan Zibel reports Libyan government officials relied on technology from western companies to spy on citizens. Photo: Edu Bayer for The Wall Street Journal
One file, logged on Feb. 26, includes a 16-minute Yahoo chat between a man and a young woman. He sometimes flirts, declaring that her soul is meant for him, but also worries that his opposition to Col. Gadhafi has made him a target.

Dundalk's Scare for Sligo
DUNDALK'S best 45 minutes of the season counted for nothing as three second-half goals from Sligo condemned them to defeat at The Showgrounds on Saturday.
Manager Seán Mccaffrey made two changes to the side that defeated UCD eight days earlier, as Dan Cunningham and Robert Waters came in to replace Nathan Murphy, who sat out following an operation on his toe, and Paul Walsh.
However, despite being massive underdogs going into the game, it was Dundalk who had the better chances throughout the first half. Their first shot on target came on 12 minutes when the highly-impressive Ben Mclaughlin cut in from the right and fired a low shot that Gary Rogers got down to save.
On the quarter-hour, Dundalk should have been in front, when O'neill latched onto a neat through-ball from Rafter, but with just the Sligo number 1 to beat he blazed over.
Before the half hour, Mcdonnell fired a free-kick over from 30 yards, before Derek Foran headed a Romauld Boco cross away, the ball eventually coming to Lee Lynch who caught his shot wrong, allowing Peter Cherrie to easily gather. Foran made two more crucial interventions as Sligo attempted to unlock the visiting defence, before Mclaughlin saw a cross blocked away after being fed by Liam Burns down the right.
The 16-year-old right-back then showed his defensive strength as he dispossessed Iarfhlaith Davoren - who replaced Jason Mcguinness in the starting lineup just before kick-off - and
Joseph Ndo, after he had cleverly got past both Waters and Mcdonnell. The latter saw Mclaughlin feeding Rafter, who then dragged a shot wide from outside the box.
On 38 minutes, a great forward run by Foran saw him lay the ball off to Waters, who cut inside and won a free kick 30 yards from goal. However, Cunningham stood up and curled an effort high and wide of the target.
Dundalk then had another good chance to open the scoring as captain Chris Shields found Rafter who showed good control and strength to get past his man, before getting in at the byeline, but Danny Ventre recovered well to block, before Rogers smothered.
At the other end, Daniel North had a go from the edge of the box, but Cherrie got down to his left to make the save. Waters then attacked down the right and got a good cross in which Rafter did well to get on the end of but his header was saved on the line by Rogers, who gathered at the second attempt.
Sligo's only real chance of the first period came shortly after, when, after Mcdonnell conceded possession, Boco was put in the clear on the right, but he shot over from the edge of the area.
However, all Dundalk's good work was undone just four minutes into the second half, as Sligo hit the front. Cretaro, from the right, played the ball across the visitors' six-yard box, an effort which soon became a cross as it fell perfectly for North at the back post who could hardly miss.
Sligo's tails were lifted by that and they made it 2-0 on 54 minutes, as Ross Gaynor's corner was met powerfully by the head of Peers who found the top corner. Dundalk, though, should have been back in it before the hour mark when Rafter fed Mcdonnell in the box, but after teeing himself up he hit a tame effort which Rogers gathered.
At the other end, North broke on the right and his low delivery found Lynch, but he shot over from close range.
On 81 minutes, as they tried hard for a way back into the game, the Lilywhites almost got it as Cunningham laid the ball into the path of substitute Gareth Coughlan, but his shot was deflected narrowly over and behind for a corner.
In the closing minutes Cherrie stopped well from Keane, before the Bit O'red eventually did score again right on the 90 minutes, North tapping in after his initial effort came back off the post SLIGO ROVERS: Gary Rogers, Alan Keane (Martin Owen 90+3), Gavin Peers, Danny Ventre, Iarfhlaith Davoren, Romauld Boco, Lee Lynch, Joseph Ndo, Ross Gaynor (John Dillon 76), Raffaele Cretaro (Mark Mcgoldrick 90+1), Danny North. Subs not used: Ciarán Kelly, David Cawley, Liam Martin. Booked: None. DUNDALK: Peter Cherrie, Ben Mclaughlin, Liam Burns, Derek Foran, Dan Cunningham, Robert Waters (Peter Thomas 77), Chris Shields, Stephen Mcdonnell, John Mountney (Gareth Coughlan 70), Shane O'neill (Gary Shanahan 60), Michael Rafter. Subs not used: Ger Hanley, Cian Byrne, Chris Reilly, Garreth Brad Booked: S Mcdonnell (63), C Shields (64), G Coughlan (79). REFEREE: Paul Mclaughlin (Monaghan). ATTENDANCE: 2,586.

New farmers, ranchers association started in Madison County
MADISON COUNTY - The Cattleman's Association is being revamped. The Madison County Sheriff wants to include farmers on being proactive against vandalism.
This Rexburg farm has been thriving since the 1940's. It belonged to Joel Ashton's father-in-law. They take pride in growing grain and potatoes every year. But farming itself can be expensive, and that's why Ashton has no tolerance for vandalism.
"I got kids at home. I don't want that kind of people hanging around our house and our equipment," said Ashton.
Ashton has seen quite a number of people on his land attempting to steal copper wire and farming equipment, which can cost over $3,000 to replace. That's why he says keeping good communication with Sheriff Roy Klingler has helped him in multiple cases.
"There was a really suspicious car that left the property. My first instinct was just to go home because it was late and I wanted to go to bed. But after talking to Roy, he says you know, go ahead and follow him. So I hopped in my pickup and followed him," said Ashton.
Ashton never caught up to the car, but he says he felt supported by Klingler's push to protect his family and property.
Klingler wants all farmers and ranchers to feel the same way, so that's why Sheriff Klingler is starting up the Madison County Sheriff's Office Farmers & Ranchers Association.
"We're going to talk about surveillance cameras, video systems, marking of tools, locking things up, and hiring we're also going to talk about hiring, and some very simple things they can do to check people's backgrounds," said Klingler.
And most importantly, build strong communication with all farmers and ranchers, to the point where they feel like they are a deputy themselves.
Klinger also wants to build strong communication with all farmers and ranchers, to the point where they feel like they are a deputy themselves.
"We want to bring up the awareness, we want to bring up the involvement, and we want to obviously lessen the crime rate," said Klingler.
The meeting times for the Farmers & Ranchers Association are:
- Wednesday, Sept. 19, 8 p.m.
- Thursday, Oct. 11, 7 a.m.
- Thursday, Oct. 25, 8 p.m.
- Thursday, Nov. 15, 7 a.m.

The Ibis has represented
the spirit of Miami
athletics since 1926.
A Bird of Courage. A Bird of Knowledge. A Bird of Strength And Speed. A leader of its species.
As the clouds become dark and a hurricane approaches, folklore maintains that other birds look to the Ibis for leadership. The Ibis uses its instinct to detect danger. It is the last sign of wildlife to take shelter before a hurricane hits, giving warning that danger is imminent. As the storm passes the Ibis is the first to reappear, a sign that clear skies are approaching.
In 1926, the University of Miami adopted the Ibis as the official mascot for the University's athletic teams. Representing the leadership courage, knowledge, strength and speed characteristics that our student-athletes portray.
Through the past 75 years Hurricane student-athletes have lived up to the tradition of the Ibis. The pride that comes from the success of these students is strong. It is a great honor to be a Miami Hurricane and be represented by this strong yet graceful bird.

If heaven had a name other than heaven, I'm pretty sure it would be "Cheese". And not just any cheese – the kind of cheese that's EXPENSIVE and served with an accompanying glass of white. Sounds way too good to be true, doesn't it? Something you'd only get in… a place called heaven? Lucky for EVERYONE, you can actually also get it at a place called Helm Bar, which hosts incredible cheese and alcohol matching nights every month or so.
My friend and I trotted along to the last one they had and were treated to some truly perfect matchings as the sun set over Darling Harbour. When you get to the venue, you're assigned to one of four tables, where you will be continually topped up with a rotating glass of wine to match the rotating plate of cheeses. All up, you get to try four cheese and wine combos, and trust me, they come from the experts in the biz. As each matching meets your gracious lips, the aforementioned experts (including cheese expert Claudia McIntosh) explain what the cheese is all about – how it's produced, where it's made, the taste subtleties that only a truly trained connoisseur can pick up and how much it costs. One of the matured goats cheeses we tried had a price tag upwards of $90 a kilo. Hence, if we had not attended the event, we would never have known what heaven tastes like.
Not only do you get to do a little tasting session, but the cheese & wine guys also give you tips on how to match your own perfect combos. This is handy if, like me, you know nothing at all about the subject matter. When the evening is over, they even do a raffle for cases of the wine you have tried, and if you're lucky, you'll win your favourite one. I am not in fact lucky, but I won anyway, which possibly means that I am guaranteed a spot in cheese heaven. It makes sense, doesn't it?
Their next matching night actually involves beer and cheese with beer blogger Mark Chippefield and will be on June 29th. Tickets sell out quickly and are just $40, so call Helm Bar on 02 9290 1571 to book your spot.

I know its a little early but all of this year's training with my dog is getting me fired up for both waterfowl and pheasant season. Just wanted to say Hi all and offer an invite to anyone looking to hook and do some bird hunting this year of any kind. I have a few guys I already hunt with but I'm always looking for some new people to bust the hell outa' some birds with.
Happy fourth of July!! God BLESS 'MERICA' WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!
And I know there are some military service members on here. Thanks to all of you for your service.


text: The major difference is that the Pro Carry is a 4" barrel, while the Ultra carry is a 3" barrel. Some of the Pro Carry series give you the option of 9mm or 45. While the Ultra Carry (I believe) only gives you the option of 45. Either is an excellent choice. If it were me I'd stay with the 45, I've never been able to comprehend a 1911 style handgun that was any other caliber.

Silicosis is a debilitating, sometimes fatal, yet preventable occupational lung disease caused by inhaling respirable crystalline silica dust. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, certain materials and processes used in dental laboratories place technicians at risk for silicosis. During 1994 to 2000, occupational disease surveillance programs in 5 states identified 9 confirmed cases of silicosis among persons who worked in dental laboratories; 4 persons resided in Michigan, 2 in New Jersey, and 1 each in Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio. Occupational diseases such as silicosis frequently are not recognized or reported by physicians. Healthcare providers and employers should be educated on the importance of screening and reporting silicosis to their state-based surveillance systems. Methods to control exposure to silica are well established. OSHA requires employers to identify occupational health hazards and control them by instituting engineering and work-practice controls, issuing personal protective equipment, and ensuring that such equipment is working and used properly. Dental technicians should be trained in the hazards of crystalline silica exposure and the methods to control exposure. CDC suggests that nonsilica-containing materials be substituted for silica-containing materials, eg, aluminum oxide as an abrasive blasting media instead of silica sand; isolate the source of silica exposure from the dental technician, eg, perform divestment of castings while materials are immersed in water; remove dust at its point of generation by using engineering controls; incorporate work and housekeeping practices that minimize the release of dust into the workroom air; use respiratory protection devices.

By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - One night in the early 1990s, Japanese author Rieko Matsuura dreamed that her big toe had turned into a penis.
Coming just as she was contemplating her next book, the dream provided a vital plotting hint that helped her write "The Apprenticeship of Big Toe P," a Fellini-esque take on sexuality and gender roles in Japan that became a bestseller and won a literary prize after its 1993 publication.
"I'd thought for a long time that I wanted to write about a woman whose views on sexuality change in response to various experiences, but I wasn't sure how. Just having a woman's spirit take root in a man's body was too cheesy," Matsuura told Reuters in an interview on the publication of the book in English.
"I thought there must be another way to do it, and just at that point I had the dream."
"Big Toe P," as the 51-year-old Matsuura refers to it, follows the adventures of Kazumi, a naive 22-year-old who wakes up one morning to find that, as in Matsuura's dream, her big toe has become a penis.
Her boyfriend wants to deal with the toe by cutting it off, and Kazumi flees, falling in love with a blind pianist and joining a performance troupe, all of whose members are sexual misfits. She travels along, her ideas about sex, love and gender changing so much that she even has an affair with another woman.
"This seemed to be the best way to challenge accepted thinking about sex, a woman with something that looked like a male sexual organ. Having her be naive would be more effective too, I thought," the soft-spoken Matsuura said.
"There are a lot of people in the world like her, who just imitate sex and gender roles without questioning them. Having her meet people who are far from the sexual norm themselves helped open her eyes." Continued...

15. 10. 2004 - Airbus SAS' bid won the Czech Airlines' tender for new generation medium-haul aircraft
Prague, 15 October 2004
Airbus SAS has been selected in response to the Czech Airlines tender for 12 new generation medium-haul aircraft. In the coming years, Czech Airlines will be adding the most modern Airbus A320 and Airbus A319 medium-haul aircraft to its fleet. The airplanes will be powered by engines manufactured by the CFM International S.A.* consortium, whose proposal was selected as the most favourable.
Jaroslav Tvrdík, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors says about the tender: "The winning bid is unambiguously the most favourable approach Czech Airlines could have taken regarding the modernization of its medium-haul fleet from an economic point of view. The decision resulted from an assessment model calculations and also the agreement of committee members – including representatives from the McKinsey consulting company and legal advisors from Weil, Gotshal Manges."
During the almost seven-month long tender, the economic value of the offer for CSA significantly improved. The winning offer far exceeded the expectations CSA had compared with the previous tenders, and it is close to the best of such deals that have been concluded in the industry. Jan Váňa, CSA Executive Director for Strategic Planning and Development, and chairman of the selection board says: "The overall advantage of the winning offer can be illustrated by the projected rate of return which is 14%, before financial benefits are counted in."
The total value of the contract ranges between 10 -12.5 billion Czech crowns and will be paid for in the form of financial leasing. In addition to the 12 new Airbus A320 and A319 aircraft, Czech Airlines will also acquire a training simulator worth 300 million Czech crowns from Airbus SAS, free of charge. The simulator will be used for CSA pilot training as well as for the training of pilots from other carriers that wish to purchase pilot training. Airbus SAS and CFM International have also agreed to provide CSA with extensive customer service, spare parts at favourable prices and additional services, e.g., air crew training.
The complete new aircraft delivery will contain:
- 6 Airbus A320 aircraft for 162 passengers in two-class configuration
- 6 Airbus A319 aircraft for 135 passengers in two-class configuration
Both Conversion Rights and Purchase Rights formed a part of the bid and they potentially allow CSA to purchase up to twelve additional aircraft under the same commercial conditions.
The new generation aircraft will further add to CSA competitiveness
All 12 new airplanes will be equipped with the most modern avionics and will fully comply with the strict technical and operational criteria of Czech Airlines. In addition to more economical operation, the new airplanes will offer higher comfort and a higher quality of passenger service – including the possibility of adding top-of-the-line communication technologies, such as in-flight video or the Internet. The new aircraft will also have a wider range of operation (by approximately 1200km), which will allow for the opening of new flights to destinations with considerable business potential where CSA could not fly with its current medium-haul fleet.
Czech Airlines plans to put the new-generation medium-haul aircraft into operation as soon as possible. Because of this – along with the talks with Airbus SAS - CSA will also initiate talks with leasing companies regarding the operative leasing of two A321 airplanes for charter flights and three A320 airplanes for regular flights. The aircraft will be added to the fleet in 2005, and thus help bridge the period before the first of the 12 new A320 and A319 aircraft are delivered. Three airplanes will be added to the fleet in 2006, five airplanes in 2007 and four airplanes in 2008.
Czech Airlines will now initiate talks with the pre-selected companies and the discussions will be completed in November 2004 by the signing the purchase agreements.
In keeping with the CSA Strategy for the period of 2004 – 2014, approved by the CSA shareholders, Czech Airlines launched its tender for 12 medium-haul aircraft on 30 April 2004 and requested proposals from two aircraft manufactures - Airbus and Boeing, as well as from the engine manufacturers - International Aero Engines and CFMI. There were several rounds of the tender and the manufacturers were requested to fine-tune their offers. The manufacturers submitted their final bids on 15 September.
The key criterion for the final decision were the economic and commercial advantages of the submitted offers for CSA. It was assessed using the net present value method. The assessment model was prepared by CSA in cooperation with McKinsey&Company financial adviser.

CSA Spokesperson

The World We Found: A Novel. Thrity Umrigar (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Thrity N. Umrigar
Work details
The World We Found by Thrity Umrigar (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not my favorite Umrigar - but she's like Austen for me, even a weak Umrigar beats most other books.
Not my favorite Umrigar - but she's like Austen for me, even a weak Umrigar beats most other books.
This is about four women who went to university together in Bombay, India in the 1970s. They considered themselves revolutionaries at the time. In the end, one of them (Armaiti) moved to the U.S., two (Laleh and Kavita) remained friends, and one (Nishta) separated herself from the others after she, a Hindu, married a Muslim (and a mutual friend to them all). Fast-forward to current day and Armaiti has contacted them in hopes they will come visit before she dies of cancer.
I really enjoyed this. You really see how different things can turn out from how you plan them, and how you yourself can change. The book switches viewpoints, so you can see what has happened in everyone's lives from their own perspectives. There were times in this book where I was ready to rate it even higher, but overall, it's a very solid 4 stars. I hadn't heard of Umrigar before, I will read more by her.
I have such mixed feelings about this one. On the plus side, it was well written, and the characters (for the most part) seemed real to me. I cared about their problems and wanted to see them resolved with the least harm done. But, that's not what happened. Oh, the "central" problem was resolved, but it was the peripheral problems that really worried me. For instance, one character, a wealthy Parsi man, used the promise of a contract for electrical supplies to get a poor Muslim man (a long lost friend from college) to come have lunch with him. He was trying to convince the Muslim to change his mind about allowing his wife to travel to America. The attempt was unsuccessful, so the Parsi walked away from the electrical shop and never thought of it again. There's no indication that he followed through on his promise of a contract -- a contract that would have substantially affected the finances of the Muslim family without being charity. It was the casualness with which this wealthy man, himself a member of a "model minority" within India, blew off his offer of doing business when he didn't get what he wanted that bothered me. It made me unable to view the character in a good light for the rest of the story. Maybe that was deliberate on the author's part, making him so morally ambiguous. If so, she it was really well done! I ended up feeling that the ensemble cast, with the exception of Kavita and Mumtaz, were a bunch of really charming people that I didn't like.
After reading some other reviews (bad reviews, which are generally more informative than good ones - like Tolsoy's families, good reviews are uniformly bland, but bad reviews are much more interesting) and have second thoughts. I'm willing to concede that this book might deserve more stars than I gave it. The question turns on whether or not the author made the Laleh and Adish characters, in particular, so morally ambiguous deliberately, or whether they are simply a reflection of her own internalised sense of entitlement. Because that, I realise, is the heart of my discomfort with the novel. These are such likeable people! I'm sure they're lovely neighbors, and would be fun at a dinner party, great hosts and delightful guests...but they're rotten at the center.
Maybe the title is the key. Though they started out as revolutionaries, out to change the world, in the end, they've all defaulted to the world as they found it. Instead of changing the world, the world changed them.
God, that's depressing.
Once I began reading, I didn't want to put it down.
From the first sentence of this insightful novel, Umrigar (The Space Between Us; The Weight of Heaven) will enthrall readers with her deft portrayal of the depth of women's friendships, the many facets of love, and the oh-so-human conundrum--whether to live with one's choices or walk away. Oprah would love this book, and so will your patrons. Buy multiples.
Umrigar handles these important themes with expertise and without judgment. A storyteller through and through, she ensures that her characters face up to the costs and consequences created by their choices, right or wrong, principled or unprincipled. As Laleh observes: "I'm saying that it all matters. Everything matters. Our virtues and our sins."

The acclaimed author of The Space Between Us and The Weight of Heaven returns with a breathtaking, skillfully wrought story of four women and the unbreakable ties they share.
As university students in late 1970s Bombay, Armaiti, Laleh, Kavita, and Nishta were inseparable. Spirited and unconventional, they challenged authority and fought for a better world. But much has changed over the past thirty years. Following different paths, the quartet drifted apart, the day-to-day demands of work and family tempering the revolutionary fervor they once shared.
Then comes devastating news: Armaiti, who moved to America, is gravely ill and wants to see the old friends she left behind. For Laleh, reunion is a bittersweet reminder of unfulfilled dreams and unspoken guilt. For Kavita, it is an admission of forbidden passion. For Nishta, it is the promise of freedom from a bitter fundamentalist husband. And for Armaiti, it is an act of acceptance, of letting go on her own terms even if her ex-husband and daughter do not understand her choices.
In the course of their journey to reconnect, Armaiti, Laleh, Kavita, and Nishta must confront the truths of their lives—acknowledge long-held regrets, face painful secrets and hidden desires, and reconcile their idealistic past and their compromised present. And they will have to decide what matters most, a choice that may just help them reclaim the extraordinary world they once found.
Exploring the enduring bonds of friendship and the power of love to change lives, and offering an unforgettable portrait of modern India—a nation struggling to bridge economic, religious, gender, and generational divides—The World We Found is a dazzling masterwork from the remarkable Thrity Umrigar.

American divorc�ee Armaiti has six months to live and her last wish is to see her three best friends again--Laleh, Kavita, and Nishta, all in Bombay. But Nishta's husband, Iqbal, a fellow university idealist turned fundamentalist, will be the biggest obstacle to fulfilling Armaiti's final desire.… (more)

American Commercial Vehicles in Orrville says it will lay off up to 135 of its 300 employees by October.
The layoffs, according to ACV human resource manager Michael Clark, are because of a "softness" in the heavy duty commercial truck business.
ACV served the union with a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice last month, said William Fuqua, president of Paper Allied Chemical Energy Workers Local 5-0785 union hall,
The lay offs will be done in three phases, carrying through to October, Fuqua said.
It is anticipated the layoffs will be for more than six months.
"What we're experiencing right now is a softness in the Class Eight, heavy duty commercial truck business." Clark said. "ACV supplies to Volvo, Mac and Western Star and all three of those folks sales aren't strong right now. They're holding off and not buying new equipment. ACV supplies that market, and if our customers aren't selling trucks then they're not ordering cabs."
According to Clark, the layoffs will be composed of a variety of skilled and semi-skilled employees. Clark wouldn't comment on if the lay offs included any management personnel.
"We are optimistic the future will be bright for ACV and the trucking industry in general," Clark said. "As the market comes back for the Macs and Volvos of the world we would anticipate recalling some folks as the market returns."
"A lot of the employees used to be employees at the Volvo plant (which closed on April 18, 1997) and when Volvo sold the plant the employees took a lot of concessions and sacrifices to keep business in Orrville and were trying to build the company back up," Fuqua said. "This is just another big disappointment although there's always hope for recovery."
ACV manufactures cabs, component parts, stampings and assemblies for the Class Eight heavy commercial truck industry.

Fri. 5/4 Louisville at UAB (Young Memorial Field/7 pm)
Sat. 5/5 Louisville at UAB (Young Memorial Field/2 pm)
Sun. 5/6 Louisville at UAB (Young Memorial Field/1 pm)
ABOUT THE BLAZERS: UAB enters this weekend's action with a 23-24 overall record, 5-16 in Conference USA play. The Blazers split a pair of non-conference games this week, losing to Auburn 12-2 at home Tuesday and defeating cross-town rival Samford Wednesday on the road 4-2.
HOMESTAND BEGINS AGAINST LOUISVILLE: The Blazers open a five-game homestand beginning with the Louisville Cardinals - UAB also plays Samford and Mississippi State in the middle of next week to conclude the 2001 home slate - as they play five of their final eight games of the regular season at home.
DOWN THE STRETCH: After finishing with a 6-12 record in the month of April, UAB has started off May with a respectable 1-1 mark and ended a season-high, five-game losing streak Wednesday at Samford in a 4-2 triumph.
UAB VERSUS LOUISVILLE: The Blazers trail in the series with the Louisville 10-7. UAB, though, did take two of three in the series last season at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville. UAB dropped the opener of that series 9-8 before taking the final two contests 15-2 and 7-6 (10 innings). UAB has won three of the five series between the school in C-USA three-game sets. The Cardinals, though, have the only sweep which came during the 1999 campaign.
RECENT MILESTONES: UAB played its 1,200 game as an intercollegiate program Apr. 22 in the final game of the Memphis series. UAB has accumulated a 650-555-1 record in this its 23rd season of baseball. Also, UAB coach Larry Giangrosso coached his 100th career game for the Blazers on Apr. 21.
LAST TIME OUT: Cory Acklus delivered a two-run double to key a three-run seventh to give the Blazers a 4-2 come-from-behind victory over Samford at Joe Lee Griffin Field. Scott Gibson (3-2) threw seven-plus innings to get the victory.
ONE-RUN LOSSES IN CONFERENCE PLAY: UAB has been snakebit in league encounters, having gone 2-7 in one-run C-USA games. The Blazers have lost seven straight games against conference foes in tilts determined by one run, including four in extra innings. Overall, UAB is 6-9 in one-run games.
THE TULANE SERIES: UAB got swept for the fourth time in a C-USA series last weekend when they dropped three games to No. 9 Tulane in New Orleans. The Blazers lost 11-6, 5-4 and 4-3. In all three games, the Blazers lost in the Green Wave's final at bat. On Friday, Tulane took advantage of four of the Blazers' season-high six errors in a seven-run, eighth inning with Jake Gautreau capping the scoring with a three-run homer to upend the Blazers in the opener. Gautreau blasted a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth Saturday to lift the Wave for the second straight day, before Matt Groff ended the series with a RBI single in the bottom of the 10th in Sunday's finale.
UAB STARTING PITCHING AGAINST LOUISVILLE: The Blazers are expected to throw junior righthander Andre Parks (4-0, 2.72 ERA) Friday, junior lefthander Joe Yarbrough (4-3, 3.18 ERA) Saturday and junior righthander Ross Dobbins (5-3, 4.14 ERA) Sunday.
GREAT PITCHING LEAGUE PLAY: The trio of Joe Yarbrough, Andre Parks and Ross Dobbins have provided great starting pitching for the Blazers over the last two weekends. The three have combined for a 2-1 record with a 2.62 earned run average and have allowed a total of 33 hits, 14 runs (13 earned), 25 walks and 30 strikeouts over 44.2 innings between them. Parks was named the C-USA Pitcher of the Week on Apr. 23 for his seven innings of shutout work against Memphis in a 2-0 victory.
AGAINST THE SEC: UAB is 4-3 against the Southeastern Conference in 2001. Along with its two wins over Alabama, the Blazers also defeated Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. UAB has also lost to Vandy once and Auburn twice. The Blazers at one point had won four straight against the SEC this season.
UNFAMILIAR FACES: The 32-man 2001 UAB Baseball roster includes 20 newcomers (nine pitchers), six of whom were in the starting lineup on opening day (Feb. 13) vs. Alabama State.
DO WE SEE A PATTERN HERE?: Of the 32 players on the 2001 roster, 24 have junior college playing experience, and ten played at Central Alabama Community College, not coincidentally the former employer of UAB Head Coach Larry Giangrosso and assistant coach Lee Hall...many of those from CACC played at least one season for Giangrosso and virtually all were recruited during his tenure there. There was almost an 11th member of that group, sophomore outfielder Mitch Jones originally signed to played at CACC in the spring of 2000, but wound up at UAB when Coach Gino took the Blazer head coach position that summer.
COACH GINO: Larry Giangrosso, a 1975 graduate of UAB, is now in his second season as the Blazer skipper, and has a 51-56 (.477) mark. "Coach Gino" came to UAB from Central Alabama Community College (Alexander City, Ala.) where he posted a 320-183-1 (.636) mark in nine seasons (1990-99). CACC was the 1998 Alabama Junior & Community College Conference Division I champions. Prior to his time at CACC, he was the head coach at W.A. Berry High School in suburban Birmingham, where he was 254-115 (.688) in 11 seasons (1979-89). The Bucs took the 1981 AHSAA championship and were five-time regional champions.
THE STAFF: Giangrosso is assisted by Lee Hall (AUM '90), who played for (Berry HS) and coached with (CACC) Giangrosso and Frank Walton (UAB '90), who played (1983-84) and coached previously (1992-99) at UAB. Tim Harradine (UAB '01), who served as a team manager during the 2000 season, is the volunteer assistant coach.
A LONG ONE: The 8-7 loss to Southern Illinois in 15 innings (2/17/01) was the second-longest game in UAB baseball history, surpassed only by a 19-inning affair vs. South Alabama in Mobile (5/16/81). The game was the longest home game ever for UAB and the longest ever at Young Memorial Field (the previous mark for both was 14 innings, both against South Alabama, at Rickwood Field in 1981 and at Young Memorial Field in 1990). Ironically, all of those games (including this year's SIU tilt) were one-run losses for UAB.
MORE ON EXTRA INNINGS: The Blazers have played five extra-inning games in all this season and have lost each contest. Besides the SIU contest, UAB dropped a pair of extra-inning tilts at Houston, losing in the 12th and 11th innings on squeeze bunt plays, dropped an 11th inning decision in the series finale against Cincinnati 9-8 when Craig Tewes delivered a single into left for the game winner and Matt Groff did in UAB with a single to right in the finale at Tulane last Sunday in the 10th.
INJURY REPORT: Three UAB players are currently unavailable because of injury. Left-handed pitcher Michael Stallings (7-9 in 2000, 5.84 ERA) will miss the entire season after undergoing shoulder surgery (rotator cuff), as will infielder Matt Womble (a newcomer in 2001), who also had shoulder surgery. Reliever Kevin Brannon (a newcomer in 2001) has suffered some arm problems and is lost for the year as well. Fifth-year senior right-handed pitcher Lee Jolly (4-3, 4.48 ERA in 2000) has been bothered by an elbow injury in his pitching arm but he returned to action for his only outing this season with 1 2/3 innings against Jacksonville State (Mar. 27) in relief. Instead of pitching, Jolly has played appeared in seven games, mostly as a pinch hitter and defensive replacement at third base. Jolly, though, did start twice this week at the hot corner.
FATHER AND SON CONNECTION(s): Blazer head coach Larry Giangrosso and redshirt freshman catcher Pete Giangrosso are indeed father and son. The Giangrossos are not, however, the first father and son coach-player duo in UAB athletic history, the first was Gene and Murry Bartow. Murry, now the head men's basketball coach at UAB, played for his legendary dad on Blazer basketball teams from 1980-85 (he was also a member of the UAB Golf team). Murry Bartow graduated from Birmingham's W.A. Berry High School in 1980, and one of his coaches and teachers there was....Larry Giangrosso.
AGAINST THE CRIMSON TIDE: UAB swept its season series from the University of Alabama for the first time since the 1990 campaign - they won three games that year - with wins on consecutive days (Apr. 10-11) over the Crimson Tide. Behind Al Hecklinski's career-high six RBI which included a three-run home run, the Blazers upended the Tide 10-6 in Tuscaloosa. One night later, UAB scored four runs in the fifth inning to erase a 3-1 deficit to beat Bama 6-5 in Birmingham.
THE FRIENDLY CONFINES: Young Memorial Field has been the primary home of Blazer Baseball since the 1984 season. The stadium is named for the late Dr. Jerry D. Young (1931-83), who, as a Vice President at UAB in the late 1970s, was a major force in the establishment of an intercollegiate athletic program at UAB. In 17+-seasons, the Blazers are 321-189-1 (.630) at Young Memorial Field, and are 18-9 in 2001. The March 16 game versus Saint Louis marked the 500th played at Young Memorial Field since the field's opening during the 1984 season. The 2001 Blazers played 18 of their first 20 games in the friendly confines of Young Memorial Field.
THE NEW WALL: One major cosmetic change has been made at UAB's Young Memorial Field for the 2001 season. A new wood outfield fence -- painted Blazer Green -- was completed just before the beginning of the season, replacing the chain-link fencing that had enclosed the field since 1984. The ballpark now has slightly larger dimensions, going 330 feet down the lines, 370 feet to the left center power alley, 400 feet to dead center field, and 360 feet to the right center power alley. In addition, the large "hitter's eye" in center field (also now green) has been fused with the fence (it was previously behind the outfield fence and a ball striking it was considered a home run) and is now in play.
GARNERing PRAISE: Mark Garner has the highest batting average among the Blazers' every-day players (.327)...he is the only Blazers to have started every game this season (47) and is first on the team in hits (52) ...Garner hit a dramatic two-out home run in the bottom of the 12th inning in the Feb. 17 game vs. Southern Illinois to tie the game at 7-7 and keep the Blazers alive.
