Milton's Jeep Build
Have a few modifications on the way so I figured I would start a build thread.
Parts list:
'06 WK Limited Chrome grill
OME HD springs/struts/shocks
Spidertrax 1.5" spacers f/r
General Grabber AT2's
Stock pics:
I've only been active on the forums for a couple months and I am still learning all the rules and etiquette. The builds that are posted have been a huge help along with all the other threads. This may seem lengthy to some so humor me and spare the complaints. I just wanted to post this for others to see and comment on, bounce ideas, suggestions, install tips, and overall give the next guy or gal that is thinking of some mod options some ideas to chew on and let them know what went into my decisions.
All but the tires are ordered and in transport (don't have tangible parts just yet so I almost feel like I'm jinxn myself by starting this thread). I decided to spend the xtra $ and go with the OME. I thought long and hard about a RRO 2.25"/billstein set-up and then Nick Kolak ran a Labor Day deal that I jumped on. For 200 more bucks than RRO/billsteins I bought the OME HD. We plan to wheel maybe once a month or so. Nothing extreme but in the KC area there are some decent Offroad parks close enough to make a day out of it.
Being a daily driver the OME seemed like the best option in the end as it is a true suspension lift that will stand the test of time.
As far as rims I like the Ronin II's on the rig. I just wish they had a deeper backspacing. Considered Blackrock or Cragar black steelies what with the black trim on the WK. They have that deep wheel/tires bubbled over rim look that I like - but - they are heavy. Adding that weight along with the weight of the bigger tires, I was looking at adding another 20-30lbs per wheel. That's a lot of new unsprung weight to ask the 4.7 to get turning and require the pads/rotors/calipers to get stopped. So, I decided to go with spacers and went with (so far as I can tell) the best money can buy, Spidertrax. Plus they are a cheaper alternative to new wheels. As far as 1.5" that is the only option I could see with Spidertrax 5x5 bolt pattern for the stock WK platform.
The grill is something the wife and I just think would look better than the stock. Chrome will contrast the paint color better and show off the "Jeep" look from the nose. Not trying to pass it off as a limited or anything, just think it will look better.
Tires: I really like the BFG A/T KO 265/70R17. But - they aren't cheap. Already having "upgraded" to the OME I was looking to save some dough. 265/70R17 Grabber AT2's are much cheaper. They look good - I have seen a set up like this on Jeep Forum and I like it. I had BFG ATs on an S-10 that I had so I hope the Grabbers wear like the BFG's.
Anyone with install advice please drop me a line.
So - I'll update the build thread as updates are necessary and untill then happy Jeepin' everyone.
P.S. - GO Chiefs!!:cheers2:
Thanks to a fellow Jeeper in NY selling off some front end parts and his timely shipping, I was able to swap the grill yesterday. :thumbsup: This is easy to do and can really change the look of the front. Definately diggin the chrome.
Still waiting on the OME HD kit to arrive and the spacers will probably come tomorrow. Still haven't started the heavy lifting :laugh: pardon the pun.
The chrome looks good! I hate the chrome on mine haha, can't wait to see more progress! You got a good lookin' WK!
So here's an update. As of today I'm still waiting on the the full set of
OME HD components. Only thing left to arrive is the front struts.
Being as each piece has been delivered the days I'm on duty, I'm not expecting the struts to come until Friday, but we'll see. I have the weekend off so hopefully everything is in and I can give it a go.
In the meantime, I took some time today to install my 1.5" Spidertrax wheel spacers and give it the once over inside and out.
Rear view stock:
Rear view 1.5" spacers:
Side view stock:
Side view 1.5" spacers:
I like the look of the wheel/tire coming out past the fender wells. Plus I gave it a good cleaning inside and out:2thumbsup: :
These are easy to put on. Don't forget the locktite on the hub lugs and just make sure you have a torque wrench
on hand and use it to set torque on all 10 lugs per wheel. Take your time and make sure to torque every lug the same and use the star pattern. There are a lot of lugs being torqued so rushing things might cause you to inadvertantly forget to tighten one (this could be catastrophic).
I set all mine at 90-100 ft-lbs. I used the needle type torque wrench so I listed a range. Friday I will have access to the "click" type torque wrench and I will re-torque everything to 95 ft-lbs. The spacers say to set at 80-90 but a didn't figure the extra 5 lbs would hurt and I won't have to reset everytime I go from spacer to wheel lugs on each corner.
After install I drove around the block and later ran an errand to the store. I notice the wider stance gives the steering a little "tighter" feel. Other than that everything seems a-ok.
Well, I will update the build thread when updating is available.
Until next time - happy jeepin everyone:thumbsup:
Okay - I finally got my front struts in yesterday!:D It seemed like it was taking forever to get all the components. After reading other build threads, I think a month wait was either on par or even earlier than some. The install is going to be Friday morning after I come off shift. My duty chief has been lifting Jeeps for many years and has offered his assistance. I will have access to a lift, air tools, third arm, cutting torch :( (God, I hope I don't need that), etc. Basically he told me to bring my Jeep, my parts, patience, and positive attitude. :thumbsup: I told him no problem - I am very excited to tackle this. I've been reading posts and builds until my eyes bled trying prep for the install.
If all goes well I will try to post pics by the weekend.
Oh yeah, the Grabber AT2's were scrubbed from the blueprints because so far as I can tell they're on a major backorder. Tirerack has them but I would have to pay shipping from Nevada - like $150+ bucks just for shipping. I was gonna go with Nitto Terra Grapplers but the shop that was offering these only carries a B load range. So, I came accross some Goodyear Wrangler Authorities at Wally World. I know what people think when WalMart is mentioned, but they look awesome, have a C load range, speed rating of 100mph, and come with a great sticker price:
4 - 265/70R17 for $690
By the way, I was reading alot on JF and other forums about the rear trackbar geometry and I'm wondering if anyone with the OME HD has also put in an adjustable trackbar. I know the guys with the modified OME either have or are considering it, but does anyone else notice issues with the stock trackbar and straight-up OME HD? Any last minute advice would be more than welcomed!
This is going to look very nice dude... definitely post a pic and throw one up in the wheel/tire/lift thread stickied above.
Picked up the new tires. GY Wrangler Authorities 265/70/R17.
They seem HUGE. I know everyone with comparable
lifts run this size - but $H1T they look big! I didn't want the dog in the photos but after I took them I realized he gave the meats a point of reference.
He's a good 100lb Shepherd and looks little next to them.
Well, with any luck the next post on my build thread will be the finished product. Until then . . .
Those tires look good!
I have those tires but in 245/75/17. I like them and they seem to be wearing good.
Installed everything yesterday. :cheers2: It all went very well. :highfive:Took as long or longer to get the tires mounted as it did to install the lift. I'll make up a little more detailed post with more pics and some pointers we came accross during the install. Some quick before and after pics:
Looks really good... I'm surprised I can see the strut and coil-over assembly so well in that pic... usually can't see them at all... least, i can't.
Some pics of the OME HD install:
Penetrating oil is your friend for this project. I sprayed all the disconnection points with PB Blaster almost daily for a little over a week before the project.
We started on the front as this is the "bear" of the install. Use a 24mm 6 point deep well socket on the lower arm nut. The bolt will not spin because there is a tab that prevents it from turning. You will need either a large screwdriver and hammer or in our case an air chisel to push the lower control arm bolt all the way out. Make sure you take all the tension off the lower arm that you can. Also, we wrapped bailing wire around the top of spindle and the UCA in order to keep the disco'd parts out of the way but not tear an abs or brake line:
Old vs new front coil. Notice the slight difference in length but significant difference in thickness:
To get the fork on the new strut it helps to put a large flathead or wedge
in the space of the fork where it slides over the strut tab while a bfh is used to hammer the fork onto the strut. To get the bump stops back in place it helps to lube them with silicone before you run it down the new strut piston, before you you place the new coil on and mounting plate. We used a vice to stand the cartridge up while we hand tightened the spring compressors just enough to get that center nut started on the piston threads. Take it slow because you'll have to compress the coil quite a bit and it puts A LOT of stress on the compressor bolts. Keep an eye on the alignment of the coil/bottom rubber boot/strut/top plate and be sure the strut tab is oriented to the inboard side (narrower side of mount plate) of the mounting plate. Then make sure that center strut piston nut is bottomed out. We used a wrench on the hex head of the piston to hold it in place while tightening the center nut. Once the assembly is put together and the tension is let off the compressors you will probably need to pry the compressor "hooks" from between the coils as the distance between is tighter than when you put the compressors on:
The rear end goes very quickly relative to the front. After disco of the top sway link bolt and taking the old shocks out, the rear axle will drop down. We used jack stands on each side of the pumpkin against the axle to keep it from falling too far as you will need to keep an eye on the brake line slack. They are a limiting factor as to how far you can let the axle down. In addition, we noticed we had to take the drivers side bump stop off as well as the upper mount from the frame rail and compress the coil (A coil on driver side) to get the new spring to squeeze in. The problem is the driver side control arm hits the fuel tank /tank protector and doesn't allow it to drop far enough down. Also, the track bar is connected to the frame on the driver side. The passenger side can be pushed/pulled/dropped down far enough to simply take the old spring out and put the new one in by hand with no trouble at all:
The last thing to do is double check that everything is torqued down and put the wheels back on. (As a side note - all nuts and especially bolts/threads were cleaned up with a grinding wheel brush and anti-ceize applied to all threads before reassembly). Drop the rig to ground, finish torquing wheels, stand back and marvel the accomplishment!:highfive:
It looked good even with the stock 245's on::2thumbsup:
Finished product with new meats.
Goodyear Wrangler Authority 265/70/R17's::2thumbsup:
Believe it or not the KK used to be taller:
I took before and after measurements at front hub straight vertical to fender well, rear hub verticle to fender well, ground to side rail vertical at the B post:
F: 18.5 inches - 22.25 inches
R: 20.25 inches - 22.25 inches
B post: 13.0 inches - 17.25 inches
I gained a good 3.25 " of lift from ground at the B post. I would guess the springs will "settle" some but that is where it stands now. The GY Authorities are awesome tires, by the way, for anybody looking for a good, aggressive yet affordable tire. Not too much road noise (nothing like an M/T). It looks better than I could've imagined and I am extremely happy.
The ride is stiffer but it is nowhere near rattling the fillings out of my teeth, and no weird "clunks", "rattles", or other noises.
Now I just have to see about fitting a full size spare in the well underneath. I'll posts what I figure out on that one when I figure it out.
Hope the build thread is helpful to someone out there and until next time . . .
Looks real clean dude... nicely done. Assimilate like the rest of us, and remove that airdam. lol

Beloit store could have alcohol license suspended
Beth Wheelock
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
A Beloit business could have its alcohol license revoked after allegations it sold alcohol to underage customers.
Beloit City Council President Jim Van De Bogart says the council is holding a special meeting Thursday to determine the status of Liberty Quick N Save's license. The Alcohol Beverage License Control Committee recommends suspending the license for 30 days. Van De Bogart says there was a citation issued and a conviction within the last year, so this is a second offense.
The store owners and attorneys are scheduled to appear at a hearing at the special meeting.

Electronic Trading in Stock Markets
Modern trading technology clashes with the traditional organization of a stock exchange, where transactions were consummated via face-to-face negotiation. The modern trading facility is no longer a place. Rather, it is a computer system over which transactions are entered, routed, executed and cleared electronically with little or no human intervention. In this article, I examine how electronic trading has altered stock markets. I begin with an overview of how the stock trading process works and then address a number of questions. How have the jobs of traditional stock market dealers on the NYSE and on Nasdaq been affected by electronic trading? How do electronic communications networks differ from traditional markets? How has electronic trading affected bid-ask spreads and commission costs? What subtle issues arise in electronic trading when dealer and customer interests diverge? Will computer programs replace human judgment? What is the effect of electronic trading on the number and types of securities markets? What is the role of regulation in electronic markets?

After a friend's young daughter is diagnosed with diabetes, the author discusses what they experienced and what is currently known about the causes of this chronic condition.
Many years ago, an acquaintance of mine (I'll call her Shirley) told me that her 10-year-old daughter had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Shirley, a smart and successful woman, was greatly concerned, learning that her daughter would need medicine and management for life.
At the time, I hadn't yet gone to medical school and didn't know anything about the disease.
What Is Type 1 Diabetes?
Well, first, I should note that the diabetes that most of us know about is actually type 2 diabetes. In fact, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), only 5% of all diabetics have type 1 diabetes. Additionally, while type 1 diabetes can affect people at any age, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine (USNLM), it is usually diagnosed in children, teens or young adults.
Blood Sugar
An understanding of blood sugar is very important in answering this question: What is type 1 diabetes?
According to USNLM, blood sugar, or glucose, is essential for our bodies to function properly. They go on to explain that glucose is usually moved into our body's cells by the action of the hormone insulin produced by the pancreas (a gland behind our stomachs).
For some reason, USNLM explains that the pancreas of a type 1 diabetic produce little or no insulin. Without that insulin, diabetics have no way of moving glucose into their cells. Their cells become starved of this essential substance.
In the case of Shirley's daughter, the fact that her body could no longer produce insulin meant that her cells weren't receiving enough glucose. According to USNLM, such a state can produce symptoms such as the following:
Understanding the Symptoms
What is type 1 diabetes? And why does it make a person so tired, hungry and thirsty?
According to the Mayo Clinic (Mayo), symptoms like feeling tired are a direct result of the body's cells not getting enough glucose. The site also explains that diabetics will feel thirsty because the buildup of sugar in their bloodstream pulls more fluid from their tissues. This causes them to feel thirstier and to urinate more often.
The Mayo Clinic describes how feeling hungry is a byproduct of the cells not getting enough glucose. Starved for glucose, the body runs low on its energy stores, triggering an intense hunger. But, the site explains, even though a person might eat more, he might still lose weight.
Though it didn't happen to Shirley's daughter, some diabetics only discover that they've become diabetic after their blood sugar builds up to a very high level. They end up having such serious symptoms that they require hospitalization. According to USNML, when patients experience such symptoms, called diabetic ketoacidosis, they can become severely ill or even die. That's why treatment often requires hospitalization.
In asking, "What is type 1 diabetes?" consider its causes and its ways of developing. In Shirley's case, she was trying to understand how her previously healthy and active young girl suddenly developed such a serious condition.
While the Mayo Clinic explains that the causes of type 1 diabetes are not entirely known, one theory suggests a link to the immune system. It seems that a person's own immune system may mistakenly attack the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. This phenomenon may be associated with exposure to certain types of viruses. They also go on to explain that there may be a genetic association or link to the development of type 1 diabetes.
If you or your child are experiencing some of the symptoms mentioned above -- fatigue, excessive thirst and hunger, frequent urination, loss of weight -- you should see a doctor as soon as possible. As explained by USNLM, diabetes can be diagnosed relatively easily after a review of your symptoms and a panel of blood tests.
As the Mayo Clinic explains, the insulin-producing cells in type 1 diabetes are destroyed, resulting in a lifelong disease, currently without a cure. According to the Mayo Clinic, type 1 diabetics will need to take insulin for the rest of their lives.
The site also explains that a diabetic will have to maintain careful control of his/her glucose levels, keeping them as close to normal as possible.
Though blood sugar must be monitored carefully with a device called a glucosemeter, USNLM states that tight and careful control of blood sugar can prevent or at least manage some of the long-term problems associated with type 1 diabetes. The Mayo Clinic also explains that, with the right kind of treatment, people with type 1 diabetes are living longer and healthier lives than ever before.
The Mayo Clinic describes the possible long-term complications of living with type 1 diabetes. They can include the following:
After I asked myself, "What is type 1 diabetes?" and did some research, I eventually understood Shirley's concern. Thankfully, with proper management, her daughter has continued to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

60 Minutes sat down to interview the GOP and Democratic Senate leadership, and the icy chill in the room brought painfully home how difficult it will be to get anything done, even with the fiscal crisis requiring dramatic action before the end of the year.
"It was very chilly," 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft said. "They did not look at each other once during the course of the interview. They kept saying 'my good friend, Harry' or 'my good friend, Mitch,' but it didn't seem very genuine."
"Compromise is sometimes very difficult," Republican leader Mitch McConnell said. "My 47 members of the Senate have very different views from Harry and his colleagues about how much government we ought to have, how much taxation we ought to have, how much regulation we ought to have."
One of the retiring Senators, GOP moderate Olympia Snowe from Maine, told Kroft that the Senate's failure to engage tough fiscal issues ground her down.
"We're not dealing with tax reform," Snowe said. "We're not dealing with the debt ceiling crisis. We're not dealing with the automatic cuts. We're not dealing with expiration of the tax rates. I finally said one day, you know, "Is there something else we're doing that I'm not aware of?"
"Is that one of the reasons you left?" Kroft asked.
"It is," Snowe answered. "I mean, we're talking about issues that are looming on the horizon that threaten our well-being as a nation. That threaten our fiscal wellbeing as a nation."4 comments on this story
In addition to complaints about hyper-partisanship, some point to how the money chase hurts the Senate. "It is not uncommon for the life of a senator who's running for reelection to be a fundraiser for breakfast, a fundraiser for lunch, a fundraiser for dinner," said former senator Evan Bayh to Kroft. Bayh also described going out to a car during a lunch break with a nongovernment cell phone to "dial for dollars."
But while Kroft pitches the dysfunction in the U.S. as something new, 60 Minutes archives suggest another storyline. Back in 1995, they did a focus group with nine voluntarily retiring senators who couldn't get out of the place fast enough.

JINSHAN CITY, China --- When Alex Meyer pulled out before the start of the 25-kilometer race at the world championships Saturday, the U.S. swimmer did so with good reason: Teammate Fran Crippen died in a race in similarly warm water last year.
As the open water race began and one swimmer after another quit, Meyer questioned why swimming's governing body was risking a repeat of last year's tragedy.
"It's like, did you not learn your lesson? Do you not remember what happened last time?" he said.
The men's and women's races were moved up to a 6 a.m. start in an attempt to stage them in cooler conditions. But the water was already 87 degrees, just under the suggested "unsafe" point of 88.
As the morning wore on, the water temperature reached 88 and the sun began beating down on the course. The air temperature was 90 degrees with 68 percent humidity by the time the race finished.
By that point, 10 of the 29 men who started the race had quit, as had four of the 21 female starters.
Defending men's champion Valerio Cleri, of Italy, left the water just after four hours, saying it was "too hot and too dangerous" to continue.
"There's not enough attention on the athletes," Cleri said. "There should not have been a race here. The jury was irresponsible."
Crippen, a six-time U.S. national champion, died in October near the end of a 10K World Cup event in the United Arab Emirates.
Following the race, FINA issued a new recommendation that races should not be held when water temperature exceeds 88 degrees. It was 84 at the start of the October race.
"What's the point in making rules and recommendations if you're just going to blow them off at events like this?" Meyer said.
Dennis Miller, FINA's liaison official for open water swimming, responded to criticism by suggesting that some of the competitors should have been better prepared for the conditions.
"There were obviously a group of athletes who were better prepared than others," he said. "The majority of the swimmers finished."
Saturday's race was won by Peter Stoychev, of Bulgaria, who completed the course in 5 hours, 10 minutes, 39.8 seconds. He said he felt fine during the race, but when the temperature hit 88, he added: "No need to discuss. It's time to end."

text: I was pretty surprised to see that this one truly does live up to the hype. This is creamy, buttery, floral, mildly vegetal, smooth, silky, rich, sweet, and keeps going and going. I followed CTG's brewing parameters exactly and was pleased with results. Also, I have to agree with fellow taster, Adham and say that the first infusion kinda does taste like rice pudding! Good Call on that one Adham! The only downfall is that it is a bit pricey and requires a lot of leaf to give up the optimal results.

I was a panelist at this conference held at Duke April 29-30, 2011
Seven out of ten Africans south of the Sahara are under thirty, and four out of ten under the age of fifteen. What comparisons might be drawn with the Caribbean, a region that is transitioning from youthful to aging if it is not yet graying (along with the rest of the world)? The Center for African and African-American Research at Duke University invites you to join us to discuss the significance of population age structure in sub-Saharan Africa – the only part of the world which will continue to grow younger over the next two decades – and in the Caribbean, and to explore the broad social, cultural and political implications of youth demographics.

Milan, March 23 (IANS) At the Milan Fashion Week, while singer Rita Ora was getting nervous about walking the ramp, iconic supermodel Naomi Campbell came to her rescue to give her a pep talk.
Ora ran into Campbell at the European catwalk event.
"She's (Naomi is) so cute. She was looking after me at the (Philipp Plein) show. I was really nervous because I felt fat – everyone was so skinny and tall. So she gave me a pep talk and walked me in. Then we ended up having drinks by the bar and she was being really cool," Ora told Paper magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Batman: Arkham Origins combat: 'If it's not broken, don't fix it,' reasons Warner Bros.
When it comes to possibly redefining Batman: Arkham's combat, Warner Bros. Montreal is taking the "If it's not broken, don't fix it" approach with the newest installment, Batman: Arkham Origins.
"We don't want to invest a ton of energy into maybe improving that but maybe breaking it," reasoned senior producer Ben Mattes. Given the smooth, polished gameplay of Batman: Arkham City, it's hard to argue with his approach. Arkham City received rave reviews from critics and fans alike, which is part of the reason some were initially upset when it was announced Rocksteady is not be developing the third game in the franchise.
"We definitely have introduced elements to combat that... add new layers, new opportunities, and new tactics," Mattes offered. In the demo experienced by Game Informer, they noted a similarity in gameplay, but did detail a few minor changes, such as Batman's ability to make mistakes.
"This guy makes mistakes," creative director Eric Holmes said of the differences in Batman between the previous Arkham games and this. "He's not walking through doorways and trapping his cape in them, but he makes awesome mistakes by pushing things too far." An example provided by Game Informer included a scene where Batman took things a little too far and accidently choked a suspect out. "These are things that he learns from as he goes through the story. He doesn't make the same mistake twice."

This Tres Leches Cake balances the warm flavors of cinnamon and cloves with fresh strawberries and just a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.
My daughter is a Cinco de Mayo baby. At 11, she's grown past the themed party phases of her early years (so long Disney princesses and Fancy Nancy) and moved into more "sophisticated" party ideas (which is code for whatever it takes to get her a cell phone). Oddly, we've never done a Cinco de Mayo themed event for her. That might need to change after trying this Tres Leches Cake with Strawberries.
For the Tres Leches newbies out there, this cake takes its name from a combination of three milks – evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream – that is poured over the cake after it finishes baking. The cake is refrigerated and soaks up the extra moisture, so you're left with a rich, moist (obviously), homey cake. This recipe is a bit unique from others as a cinnamon stick and whole cloves are steeped with the three milks, giving the cake a warm, spicy flavor. Also, this cake is not completely frosted with whipped cream like many others. All personal preferences, but I loved how a few sweetened strawberries added freshness and chew to balance out the rich cake, and a dollop of whipped cream was the perfect amount of frosting for me.
Are there any Cinco de Mayo parties in your future? Stay with us this week as we'll have more Mexican themed recipes coming your way to help you plan your fiesta!
Tres Leches Cake with Strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pound strawberries, quartered
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- Sweetened whipped cream
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking pan. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Place the eggs, 1 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat egg mixture on medium high speed until it is light and fluffy (around 12 minutes). Lower the speed of the mixer and add half of the flour. Gradually add the whole milk and the rest of the flour mixture until just combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 22-26 minutes, or until the top of the cake is lightly browned and the center springs back when you touch it. Allow cake to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Pour the heavy cream and evaporated milk into a medium saucepan and whisk to combine. Add the cinnamon stick and cloves and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat, cover and let steep for 10 minutes.
- While the cream mixture is steeping, add condensed milk, ground cinnamon and remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. When cream mixture is done steeping, gently add it to the condensed milk mixture and stir well. Let cool for 20 minutes.
- Poke holes all over the cake with a fork. Evenly pour the milk mixture over the entire cake. Cover cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, combine strawberries and 3 tablespoons sugar and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes. Cut cake and serve with strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (JTA)--One of the nation's most-watched television hosts has run afoul of the American Jewish community and launched a debate over whether pervasive Christmas celebrations may offend Jews.
Bill O'Reilly, host of "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel and a national radio program, angered some Jewish lawmakers and organizational leaders earlier this month when he suggested that a Jewish radio caller angry that Christmas is celebrated in public schools should ``go to Israel."
The Anti-Defamation League, among others, demanded that O'Reilly apologize. The pugnacious host responded by calling the ADL's national director, Abraham Foxman, "a nut."
O'Reilly is no stranger to controversy; in fact, he practically has built his audience around it. Despite allegations of O'Reilly's private pecadilloes, his radio and television shows are wildly popular with Christian conservatives, and the latest controversy highlights a growing divergence between the Jewish community and conservatives, who are buoyed by November's presidential election results that suggested increasing numbers of Americans support conservative values.
One of the first post-election faith battles surrounds the celebration of Christmas, with conservative Christians angered that the holiday has been secularized, in their view, as a response to complaints from Jews and other non-Christians.
O'Reilly was discussing the secularization of Christmas on his Dec. 3 radio show when a Jewish man called to complain that he felt Christians were trying to covert him in school when he was growing up. He said the gift and card exchanges in public schools suggest inappropriate state support for Christmas.
O'Reilly told the caller, identified only as "Joel," that he was taking things too seriously.
"You have a predominantly Christian nation," O'Reilly said. "You have a federal holiday based on the philosopher Jesus and you don't want to hear about it? Come on, Joel. If you're really offended, you've got to go to Israel then."
O'Reilly's comments angered several U.S. Jewish officials, and their responses started a heated exchange between Jewish and conservative Christian leaders.
Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) sent a letter to congressional colleagues Wednesday, asking them to demand an apology from O'Reilly.
"Your remarks show an utter disregard for the diversity of religious belief in this country, and a fundamental insensitivity toward Jews and other non-Christians," Lowey said in a letter to O'Reilly. "By suggesting that Jews do not have a place in American society unless they accept without comment its 'predominantly Christian' nature, you are brushing aside the basic freedoms guaranteed to all by our Constitution."
The Jewish Council for Public Affairs also asked O'Reilly to apologize. But it was ADL's letter that got the host's attention.
O'Reilly has talked about Foxman in the past, even praising Mel Gibson's controversial film, "The Passion of the Christ," by noting that Foxman said it wasn't anti-Semitic per se.
Now, however, he apparently sees Foxman as "a nut" for saying O'Reilly's recent remarks to Joel crossed the line. O'Reilly last week described the ADL as an "extremist group that finds offense in pretty much everything."
ADL spokeswoman Myrna Shinbaum said it was important to take O'Reilly to task.
"Millions of people heard it. He's a celebrity," she said. "To let the comments go unchallenged is wrong."
O'Reilly has asked Foxman to appear on his show, but Foxman is in Turkey. Calls to the radio program's office were not returned.
The controversy is part of a larger trend of backlash among Christian conservatives against decisions they see as anti-Christian.
Conservative commentators Pat Buchanan and Rev. Jerry Falwell wrote columns last week expressing anger at decisions to minimize Christmas celebrations in favor of more generic seasonal and inclusive greetings.
For instance, Federated Department Stores no longer use "Merry Christmas" in their signage, the columnists said. And Target stores do not allow Salvation Army volunteers to seek donations in front of their stores because the Salvation Army is a Christian organization, the commentators say.
After November's election showed greater support for traditional family values, Christian conservatives are perceived to be seeking more influence over public policy, which could set the stage for battles with liberal Jewish groups.
"ADL is being accused of trying to ban Christmas," Shinbaum said. "We're not trying to ban Christmas."

A deal with prosecutors reached in June means that Nancy Smith won't be returning to prison in the controversial Head Start child molestation case.
Smith, along with her codefendant Joseph Allen, has been free since 2009, when Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge concluded the pair had been wrongly convicted, but the threat of serving out her lengthy prison sentence continued to loom over Smith.
Smith and Allen have long maintained their innocence and Smith continued to do so under the terms of her agreement even though convictions for gross sexual imposition remain on her record. Her sentence, however, was cut to 12 years in prison, time she has already served, meaning that her time in the criminal justice system is over.
Allen wasn't able to cut quite the same deal, returning to prison for 10 to 25 years. He is eligible for parole in early 2014.

ADJUSTABLE AND REVERSIBLE STUD REMOVERS AND RESETTERS Filed Jan. 5, 1949 Patented Oct. 14, 1952 ADJUSTABLE AND REVERSIBLE STUD REMOVERS AND RESETTERS George M. Walraven and Raymond G. Knudsen,
Kenosha, Wis., assignors to Snap-On Tools Corporation, Kenosha, Wis., a corporation of Delaware Application January 3, 1949, Serial No. 69,008
This invention relates to adjustable and reversible stud removers and resetters, although certain features thereof may be employed with equal advantage for other purposes.
It contemplates more especially the provision of improved and more effective instrumentalities for gripping various sized studs for efiecting the turning thereof in one direction or another so that their removal or resetting is effectively accomplished.
Numerous types of stud removers have heretofore been proposed, but these have not proven entirely satisfactory in all situations involving studs which do not have polygonal heads or nuts to afford the use of a standard wrench or socket to impart rotary movement thereto. Many problems are involved in grasping various sized studs, especially for turning in either direction and to accomplish the grasping thereof without any polygonal head or thread so that standard tools may be utilized.
One object of the present invention is to simplify the construction and improve the operation of devices of the character mentioned.
Another object is to provide an improved stud engaging mechanism that is adjustable to accommodate different sizes of studs to effectively remove or reset them depending upon the requirements of the particular task.
Still another object is to provide improved gear actuated stud engaging jaws which are manually displaceable to accommodate studs of different sizes.
A further object is to provide improved jawengaging means that are spring actuated to a predetermined position so that a manual displacement can be effected in one direction or another to efiect stud removal or. resetting.
A still further object is to provide improved jaw actuators that are compactly arranged within a housing to preset stud-engaging jaws for eiiectively grasping variously sized studs to selectively impart rotation thereto in either direction for removal or resetting purposes.
Still a further object is to provide spring positioned stud-engaging jaws with manually displaceable means operatively connected therewith to selectively engage studs of any size within a predetermined range. i
Other objects and advantages will appear from the following description of an illustrative embodiment of the present invention.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of a device embodying features of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a side view and elevation of the stud remover shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the device shown in'Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a bottom plan view of the stud remover with the housing plate removed to clarify the showing. 7
Figure 5 is a bottom plan view similar to Figure 4 with all of the gripping and movable elements removed to show the spring tensioning instru mentalities.
Figure 6 is a sectional view through the shanks of the gripping elements and showing the gear actuated instrumentalities for displacing the jaws, viewed substantially along line VI--VI of Figure 8.
Figure '7 is a bottom plan view of a device similar to Figure 4 with the jaws displaced to a position engageable with a stud for imparting rotation thereto in a clockwise direction (Viewed from Figure '7) and taken substantially along line VII-VII in Figure 8.
Figure 8 is a sectional view in elevation taken substantially along line VIIIVIII of Figure 1.
Figure 9 is a top plan view of a stud-gripping jaw shown assembled in Figures 4 and 7.
Figure 10 is a side View in elevation of the jaw shown in Figure 9.
The structure selected for illustration is not intended to serve as a limitation upon the scope or teachings of the invention, but is merely illustrative thereof. There may be considerable variations and adaptations of all or part of the teachings depending upon the dictates of commercial practice.
The present embodiment comprises a substantially cylindrical housing l0 which merges with an inwardly curved hood or enclosure 1 I thatin turn connects with an elongated cylindrical shank E2. The housing 10, hood II, and shank l2 are formed integral to comprise a unitary structure that terminates in a polygonal extremity such as a hexagon l3 which is adapted to be engaged by a wrench or wrench socket to impart rotation to the housing structure in either direction after a stud has been gripped for removal or resetting as will appear more fully hereinafter.
The interior cylindrical chamber i l of the housing l0 communicates with an annular shoulder [5 that, in turn, communicates with an axial elongated bore 16 provided in the elongated housing shank I2 to extend entirely therethrough to accommodate a stud which may be disposed therein for gripping as will appear more fully hereafter. The annular shoulder l5 receives a collar I! which is rotatively mounted therein to serve as a complement thereof. The collar I! is provided with diametrically opposed angular notches |8-l9 which are defined by converging walls that cooperate with an elongated detent that is reciprocally mounted in an aperture or bore 2| extending radially through the hood portion H ofthe housing ID in alignment with the internal annular shoulder IE to engage the annular notch I8 or [9, depending upon the position of insertion of the collar H.
A spring 22 is disposed in the aperture 01'. bore 2| behind the detent 20 to normally urge the latter in engagement with the angular notch l8 or [9. As shown, the radial aperture 2| communicates with an enlarged orifice which is intended to receive a closure cap against which the spring 22 abuts. placing ring or band 24 is mounted in an annular groove provided on the periphery on the hood portion ll of the housing [0 in line with the spring detent receiving aperture or bore 21 retaining the spring retaining closure cap 23 in assembled position and to actuate the stud-engaging jaws or grippers as will appear more fully hereinafter. The external ring or band 24 is retained in the annular groove 25 by means of a split retainer wire ring 23 which rests in a correspondingly sized and shaped groove 21 to rotatively retain the external actuator ring or band 24 in assembled position against removal from the annular groove 25. To enable the convenient manual rotary displacement of the band 24, the exposed surface thereof is knurled as at 28 (Figure 2) so that an effective finger grasp thereof will result in its rotation in either direction to position the studengaging jaws or grippers to be hereinafter described.
'It isto be noted that the collar [1 has a reduced. shoulder 29 extending in the housing chamber Mto receive a ring gear 30 for rotation thereon. The ring gear 30 has a radially extending arm 3| formed thereon to project through anarcuate slot 32 (Figure 7) in the housing into engage in a notch 33 provided in the knurled ring 24 so that rotation of the latter will cause corresponding rotation in either direction of the gear ring 30 within the limits of the arcuate housing slot 32 so that gear ring 30 Will rotate with the collar l1. Itis to be noted that the collar I1 is provided with tangential parallel portions 34-35 in the'shoulder 29 thereof to receive the correspondingly shaped and com plemental axial bore of the ring gear 30 which will rotate the collar l1 therewith responsive to manual rotary movement imparted to the band 24. Consequently, 'the ring gear 30 will be spring impelled-by the detent 20 to normally assume apredeterminedposition as the spring urged detent exerts a camming action on either of the angular walls of the collar notches is or [9.
The gear ring .30 has gear teeth 36 provided equidistantly thereon in a plurality of sectors, in this instance three symmetrically disposed at 120 angular sectors, to mesh with -a co rresponding number of gear sectors 31. The gear sectors 31, in thisinstance three, that are each provided with polygonal apertures 38 to fit over correspondingly shaped shoulders 39 (F*igure 10) on the ends of the shank portions 40 of a plurality of stud engaging jaws or grippers 4!, in this instance three in number. The stud engaging jaws 4| are substantially arrow-shaped and have oppositely extending and converging jaw surfaces 42-.-43 that meet along a median line 44 A jaw positioning or dis thereof to engage a threaded stud 45 of the type usually found in engine block heads. The jaws or grippers 4| engage the studs 45 on one or the other of the converging engaging surfaces 4243 thereof. The converging engaging surfaces 4243 are slightly convex to effectively gasp the cylindrical wall of the stud 45 depending on the direction of rotation to be imparted thereto. To render the engagement between the jaw engaging surfaces 4243 and the smooth cylindrical wall of the stud 45 more effective and insure against slippage, the slightly convex jaw engaging surfaces; 42-43 are provided with transverse teeth or serrations 454S, respectively.
The jaw shanks 40 are provided with apertures or bores 41 therethrough for pivotal mounting on. screw fasteners 48 threaded at their extremities 49 to engage correspondingly threaded apertures 50 provided in the hood portion H of the housing It. The screw fasteners 48, in this instance three, not only serve as pivotal mounts for thejaws or grippers 4|-, but also serve to retain a cover plate 5i in position-for support on an annular shoulder 52 providedin the housing in in communication with the open end 53 thereof. The cover plate 5! has a central or axial opening 54 which is sized toreceive the maximum diameter-of a stud 25 that can be effectively grasped with the jaws or grippers-4 1 from thesmallest size to the largest. determined by the range for which the instrumentalities: are designed.
With this arrangement, the gear. sectors 31 are actuated by thegear ring 3t: pivotally to displace the stud engaging jaws, or grippers 31 in either direction from their initial closed radial position. This is effected responsive to the rotation of the ring or band 26 for opening the jaws H to a position that willaocommodate a particular sized stud 45 that is. disposed throughthe central opening 54in the housing .cover plate 5|.
It should be noted that the spring: impelled detent 20 will normally urge the jaws or grippers 4! to their true radial position as: illustrated in Figurev 4 so thatmanual displacement of the ring or band 24 in one direction; or the other will displace the jawsor grippers 4i outwardly on one side or the other of the stud, 45 and offset from the initial radial jaw position which are the lines from the center of the stud 45to the centers or axes of the threaded jaw mounts 48, thedirection of pivotal displacement beingdetermined by the direction in which thestud ,45 is to be turned.
After the ring. or band 24 hasv been rotated .to spread the jaws or grippers 41 and the stud 45 has been engaged by releasing the actuating ring or band 24 so the jaws or grippers 4| will be spring urged in contact with the stud45, a wrench or wrench socket is applied to the polygonalextremity l3 of the housingshank l2ito forcefully remove or reset the stud 45 depending .-upon the requirements of any particular task. It will be apparent from the foregoing description that a very effective grasp and turning movement may be imparted to studs 45 owingto the improved and simplified operating instrumentality described and illustrated in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, a change in proportion and size of the-instrumentality will enable even larger studs-to be removed or reset than illustrated, and nothing-herein shall be construed as a limitation thereon.
While we have illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of this invention, it must be understood that the invention is capable of considerable variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. We, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail ourselves of such variations and modifications as come Within the scope of the appended claims.

WITNEY resident and former England polo captain Henry Brett has described the "frightening" conditions is facing in one of the world's toughest endurance challenges.
Mr Brett, 39, is part of the four-man 'Atlantic Polo Team' – a group of professional polo players – who are taking part in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
The race, which began on December 4, is seen as one of the world's toughest endurance challenges.
Teams take 36 to 45 days to row roughly via the equator from the Canary Islands, west of Africa, to Antigua in the West Indies.
They never leave the boat and must rely on supplies and equipment stowed in the seven-by-two metre (22ft x 6ft 6ins) vessel. Their only connection to the outside world is a satellite phone.
Mr Brett said conditions had been tough and he had been washed overboard by a 35ft wave, before dragging his way back to the surface.
He said: "The experience of being dragged underneath the boat in rough seas and waves from all directions is something I never wish to repeat again.
"I knew I wouldn't know what to expect but this certainly is putting us all to the test both mentally and physically.
"We endure sea sickness, blisters and claustrophobia combined with sleep deprivation and hunger.
"This is a huge challenge and the biggest, most frightening thing we have ever done."

Agnew Spans the Gamut on Better Questions
- David McCreary CCM Magazine
- 2007 17 Aug
Artist: Todd Agnew
Title: Better Questions
Label: Ardent/INO
In this era of digital singles and exclusive downloads, it's not often that an artist releases a CD containing more than 10 or 12 tracks. But on his third solo release, Better Questions, Texas-bred singer/songwriter Todd Agnew unfurls 16 songs that span the gamut from praise & worship to R&B to straight-ahead rock & roll.
While his gritty baritone style may be an acquired taste for some listeners, there's no denying that Agnew pours his heart and soul into his craft. Nowhere is this evidenced more than on rollicking, Johnny Cash-esque cut "Still Has a Hold," riff-fueled number "Least of These" and sonorous rocker "War Inside."
Among the set's brightest moments is string-tinged praise & worship duet "Our Great God," which finds Agnew harnessing his vocal timbre alongside gifted songstress Rebecca St. James. By the time you read this review, the anthem will likely be in heavy rotation at Christian radio.
Known as an artist with a proclivity for weighty lyrics, Agnew continues that inclination here, though this time he confesses up front that he has "better questions than . . . answers." He should be commended for raising provocative queries like "If You wanted me to be like You/Why did You make me like me?" These are questions sure to spark meaningful dialogue among believers.

The Chevrolet Volt has been named the 2011 Car of the Year. The electric/gas hybrid is rolling into dealerships on the East and West Coast, and some select locations in the South. It's expected to be available in our area later this year.
But as the snow falls today, many in this area are wondering how a perceived-weak electric engine will hold up against a Western New York Winter?
Batavia Chevy dealer Ken Barrett tells WBTA the Volt should prosper when it becomes available here. Barrett explained today that the Volt has a 1.4-liter gasoline engine on board - so while the Volt's battery will only take the car about 50 miles on one charge, the gas engine can kick in automatically after that.
However, "(the gas engine) does not drive the wheels," says Barrett. "but drives a generator to charge the batteries. And that's what really makes it different than a hybrid or a pure electric vehicle. When you exhaust the battery charge...the gasoline engine will kick-in and charge the battery, so you can drive another 320 miles."
Barrett says that extra-mileage capability makes the Volt extremely valuable in a harsh winter driving climate, like the one we often see in Genesee County - much more so than a strictly electric vehicle.
"In the wintertime, you've got an electric heater charging your battery," he says. "In the wintertime, batteries don't hold their charge as well as they do in warmer weather. And what if you get stuck in a snowbank? All of a sudden you're spinning your wheels, and it drains your battery.
"With the Volt," Barrett says, "because you have the on-board gasoline engine, you don't have to worry about draining the batteries."
Ken Barrett calls the Volt "a game-changer," and says he can't wait to begin selling them.

I got spooked when my EDC had a hiccup
My normal carry is a walther PPS. I've got a couple of them now actually but the first one I bought had a malfunction at the range after a couple months of carry and occasional range practice. I was able to reproduce the problem at home dry firing and it was a BIGGIE, flawed trigger bar that had to be replaced. It rattled my confidence in the gun for many hundreds of rounds.
If in a normal range session I get the very rare malfunction but cannot reproduce it with any of my mags and my carry ammo I just have to let it go. It's a mechanical device and a failure rate of less then .1% is within my tolerance.
I used to be maniacal about cleaning my guns after any shooting but now with my carry guns I actually choose to not clean them after a light practice because I know the condition of the gun and the fact that it's working in that state. After I take it apart and lube it I no longer "know" that it is in the same condition and haven't fired in that state so I think I'm better off with that slight amount of fouling but the peace of mind that the last time I pulled the trigger it went bang and I haven't changed anything since.
Love my guns

Despite their well-publicized battles, Cybill Shepherd reveals that she and Moonlighting co-star Bruce Willis were "very attracted" to each other and came real close to hitting the sheets off-screen.
"[But] he would put the brakes on," she tells the TV Guide Channel. "I would have gone for it, no question about it."
Shepherd, who will soon be hosting a new daytime relationship show based on the best-selling book Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, says she recently watched a Moonlighting marathon on Bravo and was "amazed" by how well the show held up. In fact, she's even jazzed enough to consider a reunion, but doubts Willis would ever return to the quirky TV series that made him a star.
"I think he's too rich," she says. Besides, she adds, age-obsessed Hollywood probably would want a younger actress to take over her role as detective Maddie Hayes. "They'd have to recast my part with Gwyneth Paltrow."
Looking back, the actress says one of her favorite Moonlighting episodes culminated in a big food fight. And she can still remember trying to talk Willis into taking a pie to the face for the scene. "I don't think he was really understanding that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," she recalls. "Maybe he's never been too into pies in the face."

Any suggested changes to the page design or format? This is a great chance to get involved with helping to influence how the SDK team implements this function. We created the screen after quite a bit of design discussions within our team, but we'd like to know if the decisions we made seems logical and usable by you.
And if you didn't use the install locations when installing June CTP, why not? Did you choose any custom install options? We're planning on adding metrics tracking for these issues, but we're also curious to hear your anecdotal evidence on what you do and why.
Here's your chance to help influence the future of the SDK. We're meeting on this issue this week, so we'll be sure to take your comments into account.

West Virginia Football: A Big 12 Behavior Primer, aka Be Patient and Be NiceAugust 28, 2012
Here are my thoughts for West Virginia University football fans everywhere, and especially those in attendance at Milan Puskar and other Big 12 Conference stadiums: a) be patient, b) leave your expressions of displeasure (aka Boo Birds) in the Blue Lot and c) be happy it's not Rutgers and Connecticut anymore.
A) Be Patient
The Mountaineers are in the thick of high-octane college football this 2012 season. West Virginia's schedule is therefore a bear on wheels week after week after week. It's not, for example, going to be Big East easy to host Baylor on Saturday, September 29, fly to Austin to take on Texas on the following Saturday, October 6, then fly back to Lubbock for the Saturday, October 13 meeting with Texas Tech.
(Saturday. Saturday. It's so nice not to play on Thursday.)
Consider this Fab Five: beginning Saturday, October 20, it's Kansas State in Morgantown, then TCU in Morgantown, then a trip to Oklahoma State, then a hearty welcome to town for Oklahoma, then visiting Ames, Iowa, six days later to meet Iowa State on what will assuredly be the frozen Great Plains.
WVU isn't playing basketball schools any more. This isn't Madison Square Garden. Be patient.
B) Do Not Boo The Mountaineers
Please. That's so low class, no class. That's so Big East. There is nothing wrong with your team giving up a couple of touchdowns to, say, Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, a 6'5" Pat White with an arm and a lot of guts. Klein makes Cincinnati's Tony Pike look like, well, a piker. And, K-State's signal-caller is just one of many stars in the Big 12.
Boo the other team? By all means, let the other team have it, and be as creative as your date/boyfriend/husband, or your father, will allow.
Give West Virginia a chance. The Mountaineers are playing a different game now. Dana Holgorsen's Air Raid may score and score again, but the Big 12 isn't the Atlantic Coast Conference. Even Kansas doesn't throw in the towel at halftime.
WVU fans are going to watch their boys give up some points and watch games go down to the wire. It wouldn't shock me if every game is decided in the final minutes.
You're going to see some wins and a few losses. Do not boo the Mountaineers. It's childish. Look at K-State again. They compiled a 10-3 season in 2011. I know. I know. But, play a Big East schedule, lose to Louisville and Syracuse, endure Marshall in the Friends of Coal Bowl and go 10-3, and it's not the same. Fans, you have to get ready for some real football. Be happy you don't have to sit through another hollow Heinz Field.
C) Be Happy It's Not Rutgers and Connecticut Anymore
That brings me to Item C. I'd rather lose in overtime to Texas Tech on the road than beat Pittsburgh anywhere at any time. I'm not kidding. This is 2012. It's not 1975 or 1983 or 1993 or, thankfully, it's not 2007.
Sad to say, the Backyard Brawl is no more. It was fun and exciting, but we have moved on. There's no going back. And why should we? WVU athletic director Oliver Luck says he wants to jump-start the rivalry in the future, but, in my opinion, he's got bigger and better things going on.
So, what's this loss to Texas Tech, you may ask? Okay, maybe I exaggerated to make a point. Maybe I should have said Texas. Think about this, though: If you told me right now that the 2012 edition of West Virginia football will end up 7-2 in the Big 12, not win the conference championship, may be seen in a Bowl Championship Series game but assuredly will have the chance to get a Cotton Bowl bid, I'd take it. I'd take that right now, because that's not bad—even good—and that's the way I think it could end up.
Here are my predictions:
Mountaineers fans will walk out of Milan Puskar almost blue in the face from holding their collective breaths as Holgorsen's offense scores last against Baylor. The Bears have a defense this year that is benefiting from the 13 character-building games last year, and they will frustrate WVU in their own backyard.
The Longhorns have two defensive ends, Alex Okafor and Jefferson Jeffcoat, and Kenny Vaccaro, a blazing-fast safety, who will all be NFL first-rounders in 2013. They will make Geno Smith's afternoon in Austin absolutely miserable. The one good thing about the Texas loss is the offensive coaches, especially the line coach, will have hours of instructional video.
Texas Tech
West Virginia will take out its frustrations on the Red Raiders in Lubbock the next weekend. It's a perfect storm for the Mountaineers. The home team will be suffering from dropping a close one to visiting Oklahoma the previous weekend, as WVU's Air Attack will finally break loose from a scrappy, veteran Texas Tech defense to set a four-alarm fire on the scoreboard.
Kansas State and Texas Christian
Bill Snyder of Kansas State and Gary Patterson of TCU are among the best coaches, if not the best coaches, in all of college football. They both consistently get more out of less.
Patterson has consistently built a defense by recruiting, among others, second-tier high school running backs from the state of Texas and turning them into good major college defensive ends and linebackers. Snyder retired in 2005 after an outstanding career with the Wildcats, had the stadium named for him, then returned in 2009 to preserve the program, which has happened.
WVU will split these two. I see Holgorsen's men losing to K-State, not being able to meet the challenges Collin Klein presents. West Virginia will drop to 2-2 in the league and will spend the two weeks resting for TCU while Mountaineers fans within range will light up the radio call-in boards with suggestions for Dana Holgorsen's replacement, including the guy who always swears Nick Saban was in Morgantown in December of 2007.
I'll discuss West Virginia's prospects for the games with TCU, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Iowa State and Kansas in a later article.

Discordant Meows
When beauty is ugly: Let me start by saying I've been a big fan of the Dallas Observer for many years and appreciate the role it's played in the Dallas music scene. I've been a musician in the Dallas scene for 17 years, and I've always looked forward to finding my band's name in the paper. That's precisely the reason I feel compelled to write. The "Sack of Kittens" section of the Scene, Heard column by Zac Crain just doesn't make sense to me. Why do you feel the need to slam local bands? Is that supporting the scene? I don't think so. I agree that sometimes I go to see a band and they really suck, but that's the beauty of a local music scene. Everyone is free to give it a shot.
There are some bands that aren't very good but have a good following because there might be something about them, other than pure playing ability, that is attractive to clubgoers. You can't expect every local band to be Radiohead or U2. It all depends on your taste. I personally think Bob Dylan is horrible, but apparently someone sees some talent there somewhere.
Now, I can't say that I'm as "fired up" as the Curtain Club seems to be on this issue (Letters, May 2), but they have a point. The role of the Observer should be to encourage new bands. If you don't like a band, simply ignore them. If a band is that bad, they're not going to be around very long anyway. There is no need to publicly rape them in your paper. That's just plain uncool. Besides, Fair to Midland (Scene, Heard, May 9) is not that bad. Lighten up, guys.

Bashing the Bard
The nerve: I really have to call into question your hiring of Elaine Liner. I read her review of Kitchen Dog Theater's production of Coriolanus ("Circle of Jerks," April 18) and was appalled. How dare this woman bad-mouth William Shakespeare! The bulk of her review was trashing the script. And I was further dismayed by her purely mean-spirited comments about the production itself.
In other reviews, I have also seen her bad-mouth Neil Simon. Get out of here, you're a local weekly paper in a theatrically insignificant city; it takes a lot of misplaced chutzpah to attempt to be critical of the theater's greatest writers. Fire her. Please.
Paul Shiffler
Smokeless Night Out
Total ban: I suggest that Dallas follow the lead of several cities and the state of California and enact a total ban on smoking. That would eliminate the nasty issue of second-hand smoke without forcing businesses to install expensive new barriers ("Where There's Smoke," April 25). Personally, I don't care if someone wants to privately smoke 50 packs of cigarettes a day--it's their choice and their health. However, when they choose to practice this habit in public, it ceases to be a private matter. Why should smokers force the 75 percent of us who don't light up to share in their little habit?
Has anyone been out to a bar or club in California since the smoking ban took place? If so, you probably noticed afterward how differently you felt and smelled than when you do the same thing in Dallas. Unless you inflicted some other type of chemical hurt on yourself, you probably didn't have the red eyes, headache, sore throat or other miseries that are the price of going out here, and your hair and clothes didn't smell like a dirty ashtray.
I'm sure some Dallas businesses are afraid a smoking ban will cause customers to stay home. Don't worry: It didn't happen in California, and it won't happen here. Instead, they might actually find that some of us start going out more often because we don't have to deal with the stench.

Take My Vote, Please
Terri Hodge provides a service: Jim Schutze's attack on state Representative Terri Hodge and the owners of Virgin Couriers ("The Case of the Virgin Couriers," May 2) was not only unnecessary, but unwarranted. In his apparent attempt to grab headlines, Mr. Schutze attacked without proof or evidence. This was proven by written backstepping: "I'm not saying Ms. Hodge did this..." and "I'm not saying they do anything bad themselves..." In other words, "I have no proof of wrongdoing, but I am going to slam these folks anyway."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The fact of the matter is that Terri Hodge and many folks like her provide a service to the community. They help the elderly, sick and disabled have a voice that would normally be forgotten. It would have been easy for Ms. Hodge to go and take ballots from the elderly, vote them however she wanted and drop them in any mailbox. If she wanted to commit an illegal act, why would she use a courier to deliver the ballots as the Texas Election Code requires, creating a paper trail to be followed?
Mr. Schutze not only went after the wrong person, but in the process, attacked a female-owned business for doing a legitimate service. Thanks to this ill-written article, citizens like Terri Hodge will not be there to help folks vote, the vote "brokers" will still be out there, and when ballots are mailed out this fall, voters will be intimidated by official-looking letters threatening imprisonment to folks who vote by mail and receive ballots. And the losers will be the senior and disabled citizens who will decide it is just not worth voting this year.
I am not saying that Jim Schutze's type of journalism is reckless and irresponsible. His words speak for themselves.

For the past 40 years my home has been a small farm in Nashville. We are about to be surrounded with subdivisions but a few of us are true "Hold Outs"
Years before we moved here the previous owners had dumped trash on the back of the property. It was long ago covered with dirt but occasionally the rain will uncover a treasure form the past. About 5 years ago my daughter and I were walking through the woods on the back of our farm and found an OLD (at least 50 years old) one gallon glass jug. The years had washed dirt into the jug and it was partially filled with moss and a beautiful little fern. We brought the beautiful jug to the house and set it in on a table in the LR. The next day the little fern looked wilted and the next day the fern looked worse. Daughter and I decided the fern needed the natural life that it had in the woods. We took it back to the spot where we found it, carefully put it back in the leaves and left it. We went back a week later and the fern was growing again. I went back a year later and the fern was gone, but there were other little plants growing in the Old Jug. I haven't been to check on it in a long time. Tomorrow might be a good day to go back.
I am a True Fern Lover and have Lots of ferns. I will share pictures later.
This is one of my favorite old ferns.

My greatest Fern Find.
For the past 40 years my home has been a small farm in Nashville. We are about to be surrounded with subdivisions but a few of us are true "Hold Outs"
What a neat story! Wonder where the little fern went? When you go back please take your camera.
I love your favorite fern...does it have a name? Most of mine are nameless orphans.
You do have a lot of beautiful ferns. And that one is a stunner. I hope that your fern in the glass bottle found a really good home.
Great story picabo!
Love your ferns. I don't have any yet but will get some in the future to plant around the trees.
Hi Everyone. I have had house guest for the past few days and haven't been able to walk into the woods to check on the old jug where the wild fern was growing. I should be able to get there on Monday after the guest leave.
The fern in the picture is the 'Kangaroo Paw' Microsorium diversifolium.
It is about 8 years old and about four feet across.
I have just ordered a few,,,can't wait to get them,,,,I so hope they are clumpers,,,if they are spreaders,,,they're outta here,,,lol
Mine are in hanging baskets since thay are not winter hardy here. They do send "Arms" around the basket (Part of their charm) In the semi-tropical areas of the United States and Central America it performs well as a ground cover. As a ground cover it will restrict itself to a shady area under trees and shrubs it doesn't do well in the sun. It makes a thick, lush bed
Edited because I can't spell.

Be sure that 'outta here' means DOWN to Oklahoma.....
I am not gonna be able to hold out much longer on the ferns. Too many good pics on this forum. I am gonna have to run to a nursery an buy a bunch then figure out where to plant them after I buy them. Does any one have ugly ferns?
You got it,,,you have a couple areas that you could just let them go wherever they want. If they're outta here,,,they will be in your mailbox.
Garden Geek, The only fern that I have that's a sure clumper is a Leatherleaf Fern. Pretty little thing, grows up into a nice round shape.
In talking to a friend last night she is thinning out some ferns and bringing them over today. I wonder what I will get?
OOOOH, aren't you lucky!! Pictures please.
Ms. Pati......
What are you doing here.????? Why aren't you on the coleus forum???? Are you a traitor....????
Pretty, huh?
I think I have your fern, picabo, and never new it's name. I will post it later and please let me know. Thanks
I will be watching for pics.
If it ever quits raining I have some more ferns to make pics of. Still haven't made it into the woods to find the old Jug. I will for sure take a camera on that walk.
BUSTED!!!!!!! Well Hap, this is my secret vice. I love my ferns and all things "frondy", ferns, palms, grasses, etc. Why did I not know that you had ferns too, huh?
I love ferns too. I have a patch of wild ones next to my front door which I love. I say they are wild, cuz I didn't plant them. In fact, a handy man pulled them all out and now they are all back. LOL
Beautiful Hap! That looks a little like my Japanese Holly fern that left with hurricane Francis.
Is that what it is, Pati?
That does look like mine...Only thing, yours is soooo pretty. I need to send mine to you. LOL
My pic was made in the greenhouse this winter. It is looking a little better now that it has got to move outside.
