The bickering between Faith and Blade was slowly drowned out by... Silence? No; a slow, quiet buzzing noise. A near-silent droning sound that seemed to slowly increase in volume, until she couldn't hear anything else. Eventually the sound jolted her awake.
Evidently, as she was sleeping, her hair was fluttering upward as if tossed by some unseen wind. This has happened twice before, hasn't it? Also, when she awoke (with a slight jolt) her eyes were glowing brightly. Although, as her yes opened, the glowing seemed to fade until they looked like regular (irregular) eyes. She was somewhat dazed for a moment, and for some reason her emotions were being highly amplified. In fact, she was only able to hold her breath long enough for Lucy to say what she was saying before she burst out, "Pastoria!?"
"I went there when I was little!!" Amethyst's eyes seemed as if they were sparkling with delightful memories. "We got to see the Great Marsh... But we had to go home because Blade got into a fight with a Croagunk and got poisoned." She looked down, resting her head on top of Mako's. Blade and Faith were walking (in her vision, anyways) alongside Mako.
"Seriously?" Faith chuckled. "You lost to a measly Croagunk?"
"No, he--uh... called in others and they ganged up on me!" Blade grunted, arms crossed again. "I fought a bunch of 'em off, but they all kept poison jabbing me, and eventually I got poisoned. Then they dragged me away because of the poison. I woulda won that fight, too."
"Pffffft, /right/." Faith laughed. "And my sister is actually hiding under my dress."
"Is that who you wanted me to look for?" Amethyst turned her head, watching Faith. "Do you know where we should look?" Don't mind Amy, just talking to invisible ghosts and whatnot
"I... Don't have any idea... Sorry. I was more hoping we'd run into her by chance." Faith sighed quietly, looking at the ground ahead of her.
"Oh... Well if you think you see her, let me know, okay? We can go say 'hi'!"
"... Right... Thanks, Amy."
"Don't mention it. I'm glad I can help." Amy turned her attention toward the town ahead of them. "Jubilife...? Wow... It looks... Bad..."

I am looking for a Gallery plugin, which is simple to setup and easily allows users to add images to it (users not familiar with html).
Any recommendations?

simpleviewer (free: simpleviewer.net) has a WP plugin
disclaimer: i have never used simpleviewer, but i have seen it in use, and was so impressed by it, that i made a note to try it myself some day (when i get a round tuit)
I also use nextgen gallery on several wordpress sites and it works like a charm
Hi,I have tried using NextGen but havinng issues as described here.
Any ideas? Do I need to set permissions somewhere? Or any better tutorials on how to add to Wordpress?Thanks!!

For me Gallery Plugin from BestWebsoft if perfect. Very simple in use. Also i've noticed that they have great custumer support. They gave me clear instructions. These guys ruuulesss!))
Oh,yes! It's free, of course.

Total consumer spending on video game hardware, software, and accessories fell 1 percent to $4.6 billion in the first quarter in the U.S. despite the arrival of two new consoles on the market.
Market researcher NPD Group did have some positive news on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 front; video game hardware revenues rose 47 percent to $983 million in the quarter thanks to the new consoles. And these strong year-over-year trends are likely to continue through most of 2014, according to Liam Callahan, game analyst at NPD.
Overall content was down 8 percent due to a 27 percent decline in physical retail sales. Digital game spending, however, grew 4 percent, with full game downloads and downloadable content for consoles and portables driving this small increase.
"For the first quarter of 2014, content spending increased for used games, digital full games, DLC, and mobile, with a modest increase in subscription revenue." Callahan said, adding that "this is another example of the interplay of physical media as well as digital downloads as consumers transition further into this console generation."
Gaming accessories sales fell 11 percent during the first quarter to $446 million compared to a year ago. The bright spots were gamepads and interactive gaming toys.

The other way to connect a device to the 430 HSD is the minijack input on the front panel, which is especially useful for making a quick connection to an iPod or other digital audio player. As soon as you connect a minijack cable, the 430 HSD mutes all other inputs, which is better than keeping all of the inputs live, but it means you can't leave a cable permanently connected to the port. We'd still prefer true input switching.
Audio performance
The 430 HSD has a big and dynamic sound. While the speaker doesn't feature extravagant faux-surround processing modes or a separate subwoofer, the 430 HSD can produce a spacious soundfield and impressive bass response.
Thanks to the 430 HSD's adjustable treble, subwoofer, and PhaseCue controls we could easily tweak the sound to our liking on the fly with each Blu-ray, DVD, and CD we played. The PhaseCue control spreads the 430 HSD's stereo soundstage in nine steps from narrow to wall-to-wall wide. No other sound bar we know of offers that much tweakability.
Play a decent rock record with a strong rhythm section, like the "ZZ Top: Live from Texas" Blu-ray, and the 430 HSD will let you feel it. Bass oomph and definition were above average for a sound bar that doesn't come with a separate subwoofer. The 430 HSD's volume capabilities, bass, and dynamic punch easily bested what we heard from Onkyo's new HTX-22HDX--impressive, considering that Onkyo's 2.1-channel system comes with a sub. The only area where the Onkyo was better was stereo imaging. That's not surprising, as the HTX-22HDX's left and right speakers are 6 feet apart, so, sure, its stereo image was larger and more clearly defined than the 430 HSD's.
We expected the 430 HSD's analog and digital inputs would sound about the same when we hooked up both connections from our Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player, but there were differences between the two. For example, the optical digital audio input sounded a little more detailed than the analog connection with the "Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City Music Hall" Blu-ray. We heard a little more of Radio City's hall ambience over the digital connection. That's great, but when we played the "Quantum of Solace" Blu-ray with the volume set to the maximum level, the 430 HSD didn't get loud enough to fully communicate the excitement of the opening car chase. Over to the analog connection, the 430 HSD could play a lot louder; there appears to be more gain available over the analog inputs. With either connection method the 430 HSD produced average dialogue clarity, as long as the PhaseCue control was at a low setting. Higher settings made the front soundstage wider, but dialogue then sounded recessed and hollow.
Robert Plant's recent "Band of Joy" CD sounded good enough, but we were more aware of the 430 HSD's limits when it came to music than we were with movies. That is, the 430 HSD sounds more like a large table radio than a good pair of stereo speakers. As long as your main listening focus is movies rather than music, the Zvox 430 HSD is a winner.

" Brand: ELC / Age: 12 months / Type: Push, Pull & Roll "
We've had this toy for over 2 years now, my daughter received it for her 1st birthday, and she's now 3. And to say we've had it for over 2 years, you would never guess by looking at the toy because it still looks like new. Now whether this is because of the toy's quality, or because it hardly gets played with, I'll let you decide.
The actual toy is from Early Learning Centre, and we all know this to be a shop that sells good quality toys, if not a little bit pricey - this one comes in at £16. What you get is a cute little doggy in teddy format stuck on some oval shaped wheels, on the end of a plastic stick. The idea is that as your child learns to walk, they will be able to push this along and hear him woof out some tunes (requires 2 x AA batteries, not supplied), and see him flap his front legs.
The toy is well made and great quality, it's quite chunky and brightly coloured so of course it will appeal to young children, but I think that's where the novelty ends; well that's the case in our house anyway.
When we received the toy, my daughter had just learnt to walk so was still a bit unsteady, but quietly confident. But she was unable to push this toy at all on her own, the main reason being that it stands quite high so she couldn't get a good leverage on it, and also the wonky wheels made it very difficult to push along. So she would end up getting frustrated and just stand there screaming until I came to her assistance. As she got older she did manage to push it alone, but this was when she was much older, and it has definitely never been a toy she has regularly reached for.
There are two settings on the toy which allow you to choose between standard woofs, or tune woofs...i.e. he barks when you push him along, or alternatively he barks out a tune as you push him along. Tunes include Pop Goes The Weasel and The Muffin Man, amongst others. This is quite irritating to me, but it has been the one thing about the toy that my daughter has actually enjoyed. She doesn't usually run about with the toy listening to the tunes, but she has been known to sit and move the wheels until a tune is activated and then she will sing along.
I actually thought my youngest daughter might get a bit more play out of the toy than her sister, because she is much more active and physical, and I thought she would love running up and down the hallway with it. Unfortunately it has not sparked any interest in her either and the toy more often than not gets left standing against a wall.
The most I have seen this played with is when my older nieces and nephews come to play (6 & 8 year olds) and they seem to enjoy it, going on the rampage running up and down, just generally making a lot of noise. It seems they have a lot more control over such a toy than my two toddlers have, and they also have the strength to run with it.
I think a toy like this works best in group situations such as Toddler Groups or parties, where the kids are hyper and need to burn off some energy...but as it stands in our house, it stays still most of the time, unused. I've never had to change the batteries in the 2 years we've had it.
I don't think I'm going to recommend this toy. I'm not saying its rubbish or poor quality; it just doesn't excite my children.
My son got this for Christmas when he was 16 months old and it immediately became a favourite toy. He loves anything animal related and also loves running around so this is perfect for him.
The product is a soft toy dog fixed onto a roller with oval wheels making the dog move in a bit of a wonky manner and also making it a little more difficult to push. I don't know if this is a design feature but it is quite good as it means you can stand it up against something without it running away and also means it doesn't run away when being pushed by a toddler.
The handle comes in two parts which are easy to clip onto the dog and wheels and also easy to remove for storage. It is quite long and my son finds it difficult to get the dog and handle at the right angle to start pushing but it doesn't put him off and he gets going in the end. There is an on / off switch on the bottom of the wheels which offers two sound options (three if you include 'off'!) One is a dog woofing and panting and the other is a dog barking out a number of different nursery rhyme tunes and panting which is quite amusing.
All in all this is a fun toy, especially for youngsters who are into animals. I think it is more suited to a toddler who is fairly confident in walking as it is difficult to get pushing it and I think they would probably need to have their own stability rather than relying on leaning on this.
Why we have the toy
My son got this toy for his first birthday and as he wasn't walking steadily we put it away for a few months. Once he was steady on his feet we brought it out of storage for him to play with.
Who is it for
The Early Learning centre recommends this toy for children 1 year and above.
What is it
This is a Push the puppy along he scampers on wonky wheels, which make his feet flip forwards as as he plays doggy sounds or tunes.
The puppy part is made of robust material which is brightly colored. Both the ears and the feet are filled with what feels like bean bag balls. The head and body of the toy are filled tightly with study filling and there appears to be little give in it which I think makes it ideal for the rough and tumble a pull along toy gets.
The yellow plastic handle comes in two bits that attach together to make the handle for the puppy.
Underneath the puppy is the control switch for the three settings off, puppy barking or puppy barking songs. The songs include Pop goes the weasel, Have you seen the Muffin man and Knick Knack Paddy whack.
The toy takes 2 AA Batteries
Where from;
The early Learning Centre sells this for £15 Its also available for just under that at the Boots website. I have noticed several off these on ebay with a low starting price of £3 so I think that would be a good place to look
What my son and I think
He enjoys using this toy and patting the dog. But the the wonky wheels still makes it hard for him to push the puppy and more often than not he ends up dragging the puppy around rather than it been used as a push toy. I also think the handle is too long for him. Now he is a bit of a shortie like his mum so it maybe taller children find the height of the handle and puppy OK. Noise wise the barking by its self is annoying so we always having it on the barking music side which I don't mind as I try to sing along to the barking too my son just as well he doesn't mind tone deaf singing
It is a good toy but not one of my favorites from ELC that said I do think my son enjoys it and after all it is his toy not mine!
Take the puppy for a walk on wonky wheels to enjoy doggy sounds and tunes.

TAMPA, Fla.- Jefferson High quarterback Stephen Garcia is one of the top dual-threat signal callers in the Southeast. On Friday, he gave an exclusive interview to Rivals.com where he talked about his current leader, his plans for the spring and what makes him one of the most coveted prospects coming out of Hillsborough County, Fla., in the class of 2007.
"A lot of schools are very interested right now," Garcia said. "Especially Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Auburn, Georgia and South Carolina."
The Gators have jumped out to an early lead.
Article Continues Below
"I like Florida so far right now," he said. "They are at the top of my list right now."
The 6-foot-3, 214-pounder can see himself running the Gators' spread-option attack.
"I like their offense," he said. "Dan Mullen, their offensive coordinator says I run it perfect.
Mullen and Rivals.com top 25 recruiter Stan Drayton are the Florida recruiters of record for Garcia.
Garcia took an unofficial visit to Georgia this past weekend and the Bulldogs also are in the mix.
"I like coach Mark Richt a lot," he said. "It was a great town. Everyone there was real laid back."
And though the Gators lead, Garcia actually grew up a fan of another in-state school.
"(I pulled for) Florida State," he said. "But that's just because my uncle went there."
Garcia doesn't think he will make an early decision, but is contemplating graduating early (in December of this year) so he can enroll in time for spring practice at his school of choice. If he decides to go that route, his time table could be moved up.
"The schools that I have been to, that's what is happening," Garcia said. "At Georgia, Matthew Stafford is already there and Florida has already got Tim Tebow so they say that's the best way to go right now is to graduate early so you can get into the system early."
While he is a tremendous athlete that can hurt opposing defenses with both his strong arm and running ability, Garcia feels that his work ethic is what sets him apart.
"I don't think anybody out-works me at all," he said. "I do whatever I possibly can to be the best I can possibly be. My team helps me out a lot, too."
His team helped him amass 2,800 yards passing and 700 yards rushing in 2005. He also threw for 28 touchdowns and ran for another seven.
Garcia plans to major in Anthropology or History.
Garcia is planning on attending the Gainesville NIKE Camp on May 20 on the campus of the University of Florida and hopes to take part in the Elite 11 camp this summer.

It's that vague feeling of panic
That sweeps over you
Stepping out of the #7 train
At dusk, thinking, This isn't me
Crossing a platform with the other
Commuters in the worried half-light
Of evening, that must be
Someone else with a newspaper
Rolled tightly under his arm
Crossing the stiff, iron tracks
Behind the train, thinking, This
Can't be me stepping over the tracks
With the other commuters, slowly crossing
The parking lot at the deepest
Moment of the day, wishing
That I were someone else, wishing
I were anyone else but a man
Looking out at himself as if
From a great distance,
Turning the key in his car, starting
His car and swinging it out of the lot,
Watching himself grinding uphill
In a slow fog, climbing past the other
Cars parked on the side of the road,
The cars which seem ominously empty
And strange,
and suddenly thinking
With a new wave of nausea
This isn't me sitting in this car
Feeling as if I were about to drown
In the blue air, that must be
Someone else driving home to his
Wife and children on an ordinary day
Which ends, like other days,
With a man buckled into a steel box,
Steering himself home and trying
Not to panic
In the last moments of nightfall
When the trees and the red-brick houses
Seem to float under green water
And the streets fill up with sea lights.
It's the birthday of novelist Bernard Malamud, (books by this author) born in Brooklyn in 1914. He's the author of The Natural (1952), The Assistant (1957), The Fixer (1966), and many more books. Straight out of graduate school, he got a job as a clerk for the United States Census Bureau. The job was unsupervised and required little actual work, so he spent most of his day crouched over his desk writing short stories on company time.
He said, "I would write a book, or a short story, at least three times — once to understand it, the second time to improve the prose, and a third to compel it to say what it still must say."
It's the birthday of John James Audubon, (books by this author) born in 1785 in what is now Haiti. He was born out of wedlock, the son of a wealthy French naval officer and plantation owner, and his mistress. He was raised in France by his stepmother, and then at age 18, he left for America. He started studying birds intently, painting them and categorizing them. He was the first person in North America to band birds. He took little pieces of colored yarn and tied them around the legs of eastern phoebes, and so he was able to determine that the birds came back to the exact same nesting places each year.
Then, between 1826 and 1838, he published his Birds of America. It contained 435 life-sized paintings of all known bird species in America at the time.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

(CBS SF) — Friday marks the 70th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy, known as D-Day, the largest seaborne invasion in history.
On June 6, 1944, Allied powers crossed the English Channel and landed at Normandy, France to begin the liberation of Western Europe from its Nazi control during World War II. In its most simplistic description, it was the beginning of the end of the war.
President Barack Obama and other world leaders and dignitaries will gather at Sword Beach Friday to honor the veterans who fought to defeat Adolf Hitler's Third Reich.
CBS San Francisco will stream live coverage of President Obama delivering remarks on the anniversary from Normandy Friday.

It's frightening to think what the 20-year-old Stanton might have accomplished with the Suns had the Marlins not promoted him to the majors. He was averaging almost an RBI a game and at the time of his promotion had a 1.171 OPS over 53 games (192 at-bats).
Stanton lowered his strikeout rate from 30.1 percent in 2009 to 27.6 percent this season. He also was 15 walks shy of matching his total from a year ago (59) despite playing in 76 fewer minor league games.
In the majors, Stanton had his highs and lows. He hit safely in seven straight games in August and batted .556 (15-for-27) with nine extra-base hits (four homers) to win National League player of the week honors. Right after that, however, he fell into a 4-for-55 skid with 20 strikeouts that included a 0-for-31 streak.
Best Pitcher: Elih Villanueva not only was the best pitcher in the Marlins system; he also was the best pitcher in the Southern League. A 27th-round pick out of Florida State in 2008, Villanueva led the league with a 2.26 ERA, 179 innings, a 0.96 WHIP, four complete games and three shutouts.
One of those was a rain-shortened, five-inning no-hitter against Carolina. Villanueva did not post an ERA over 2.79 in any full month and did not lose a game after June 22.
Keep An Eye On: Had Villanueva pitched elsewhere this season, the distinction of the Southern League's best starter would have gone to Tom Koehler, who finished with a Double-A-best 16 wins and just two losses. Over his final 23 starts, Koehler went 13-2, 2.31 ERA with a 3.8-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 133 innings. While Koehler finished second to Villanueva in several categories league-wide, he struck out 30 more batters in 20 fewer innings than his Suns teammate. Montgomery's Alexander Torres (150) was the only Southern League pitcher with more strikeouts than Koehler (145), who finished with a 2.61 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 28 starts (159 innings).
Like Villanueva, Koehler was selected in the 2008 draft, nine rounds earlier out of Stony Brook.
• Seven minor leaguers will represent the Marlins in the Arizona Fall League. Pitchers Pete Andrelczyk, Jay Buente, Steve Cishek, and Brad Stone; catcher Kyle Skipworth; and infielders Ryan Curry and Osvaldo Martinez will play for the Phoenix Desert Dogs.
• Down to their fourth (Brad Davis) and fifth (Chris Hatcher) catchers on the organizational depth chart, the Marlins signed minor league free agent Mike Rivera and briefly assigned him to Triple-A New Orleans before promoting him to the majors.

Potentially being a member of one of the greatest NBA free-agent classes of all time this summer, Chris Bosh is accustomed to waking up to stories of what he's doing and where he might be going written by people who have no idea what they're talking about.
Yesterday's wake-up story though was a little out of the ordinary.
Early yesterday, Bosh was getting calls from friends asking him about a story that had him committing to the U.S. national team for the world championship this summer in Turkey.
The difference is this article had USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo stating Bosh had committed to the program.
"He's in," Colangelo is quoted in the story that appeared on Fanhouse. "I feel very good about it. He's got his free agency situation, but he understands we'll want him at (a July minicamp in Las Vegas) even though he won't have to participate. If you show respect to somebody, respect comes back to you."
Apparently Colangelo, the father of Raptors president and GM Bryan Colangelo, came to this conclusion after a recent visit to Toronto where he spent time with Bosh.
Bosh was taken aback by the statements in the article.
"I don't know where that came from really," he said Saturday after practice.
"Well, maybe some words got mixed up, but I haven't fully committed.
"I've got a whole bunch of stuff going on this summer. I feel I have to deal with that first and then we'll talk about (playing for the U.S.) after that is done."
That stuff Bosh refers to is determining his NBA future, whether that's with the Raptors or some other NBA club.
Bosh, who was a member of the U.S. team that won gold in Beijing, said it's not about whether he wants to participate or not. It's a case of his own NBA future taking precedence. Asked if he would like to participate if the question of his NBA future is settled, Bosh didn't sound like that was likely to resolve itself in time.
"It depends on how fast it all gets done," he said. "That's a quick turnaround. (NBA) Negotiations start July 1, there's a (U.S. team) mini-camp in mid-July ... it's a very short window of time. So I just want to take care of my business matters first and there's no telling how long that will take."
In the same story, Colangelo comes across confident that LeBron James also will eventually come on board. As for Dwyane Wade, the third member of that class of 2003 that can opt out of their contracts this summer along with James and Bosh, his position is much the same as how Bosh painted his Saturday morning: He's on the fence.
"It's not smart to play and risk injury (in those circumstances)," Bosh said. "Not smart at all."

The U.S. wind power sector benefited from the 8,358 megawatts (MW) of wind power capacity that was installed last year. The total U.S. installed wind power is 25,170 MW, making it the country with the most wind power. Despite the current economic crisis, there is good news for the U.S. wind power sector: R&D is paving the way for increased efficiency in wind power.
Researchers from Purdue University and Sandia National Laboratories developed a technique to monitor wind forces wielded against wind turbine blades. The research was presented in a paper earlier this month at the Windpower 2009 Conference & Exhibition in Chicago.
The monitoring technique will help improve efficiency by providing information on wind conditions, which can help prevent damage to wind turbines from high winds. The researchers embedded sensors inside the turbine blades. The blades themselves have flaps like an airplane's wings which could be changed to respond to wind changes.
"The ultimate goal is to feed information from sensors into an active control system that precisely adjusts components to optimize efficiency," said Purdue doctoral student Jonathan White, who is leading the research with Douglas Adams, a Purdue professor.
"The aim is to operate the generator and the turbine in the most efficient way, but this is difficult because wind speeds fluctuate," Adams said. "You want to be able to control the generator or the pitch of the blades to optimize energy capture by reducing forces on the components in the wind turbine during excessively high winds and increase the loads during low winds. In addition to improving efficiency, this should help improve reliability."
On Tuesday the U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the Department of Energy (DOE) is providing $25 million for a Wind Technology Testing Center in Massachusetts. The Center will be located at Boston Autoport in Boston Harbor, close to offshore wind resources and a 1,200 foot dock. It will be the first commercial large blade test facility, and will test blades longer than 50 meters. Currently such testing can only be done in Europe.
Testing commercial-sized wind turbine blades will help reduce cost, make improvements, and spur development of next generation wind turbine blades. Construction will begin in September and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010.
"As the world moves toward a significant expansion in wind power, the test blade facility will help make sure that the best, most efficient wind turbines are built right here in America," Secretary Chu said.
"The clean energy technology sector is taking root and growing in Massachusetts, and hosting a national wind technology testing center will be a big boost," said Governor Patrick. "Testing the next generation of wind turbines here will make Massachusetts a hub for the fastest-growing energy source in the world."
Akron, Ohio based Green Energy Technologies claims it developed smaller wind turbines that can be installed on commercial rooftops. The 60 kilowatt WindCube turbine system features 15 foot long blades. Wind turbines on wind farms can have blades 230 feet long. The WindCube's turbine is mounted inside a funnel, which will help reduce noise pollution. It produces about 160,000 KW hours a year, enough to power 14 homes.
"Now building owners anywhere can consider being a part of the renewable energy picture," said Mark L. Cironi, president and founder of Green Energy Technologies, and with John W. Fedor, the technology's inventor. "With WindCube, it's not necessary to have the wind of Kansas or Nebraska to become a generator of wind power. In states with excellent renewable energy incentives, moderate wind and high electric rates, the payback can be as little as three years."

Azusa Pacific University wasn't the best it can be last week, losing in its football season opener to traditional NCAA Division 2 power Grand Valley State, of Michigan.
The Cougars hope to change that Saturday when they open Great Northwest Athletic Conference play at Dixie State. Kickoff for the game in St. George, Utah is slated for 5 p.m. (Pacific Time).
"This has a long way to go before it plays out," APU coach Victor Santa Cruz said. "We have goals to be league champion, but everyone else has goals, too. Our league is wide-open. We're just going to take this one opponent, fix ourselves, prepare our best for Dixie State and hopefully make enough big plays to win a ball game."
The Cougars have the ability to execute those plays, especially with running back Terrell Watson, who rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns in last week's loss. The junior is 35 yards from becoming the eighth Cougar to rush for 2,000 yards in a career.
Dixie State, which lost 40-14 to Idaho State last week, counters with quarterback Griff Robles, who threw for 242 yards and two scores last week.
"They're a solid football team," Santa Cruz said. "We know we're in for a GNAC battle."
Mt. SAC at Bakersfield, 7 p.m.
The Mounties are looking to rebound after opening with a 44-20 loss to Saddleback last week.
Mt. SAC is led by quarterback Rocky Moore, who threw for 220 yards and two touchdowns last week.
The host Renegades, the defending state champion, counters with running back Preston Hodges, who rushed for 116 yards and a score in last week's 24-9 victory over Santa Ana. Bakersfield beat the Mounties in the Southern California Regional title game last season.
Moorpark at Citrus, 1 p.m.
The Owls were impressive 34-21 at Pasadena City last week.
Citrus is led by quarterback Larry Cutbirth, who accounted for 236 yards and three scores.
Moorpark opened with a 27-21 victory over Orange Coast. The Raiders are led by quarterback Nick Davis, who threw for 222 yards and two touchdowns last week.
Whittier at Whitworth, 1:30 p.m.
The Poets are led by former Arroyo quarterback Steven Rivera, who threw for 1,893 yards and 18 touchdowns as a freshman.
Whitworth, of Spokane, Wash., opened the season with a 36-7 victory over The College of Saint Scholastica (Duluth, Minn.) last week. The Pirates are led by Bryan Peterson, who threw for 259 yards and a touchdown last week.

Union soldier turns medic at Gettysburg, 1863
View this item in the Collection.
After three days of fierce fighting on July 1–3, 1863, nearly 40,000 battered soldiers lay scattered across the blood-soaked fields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. As the torrential summer rain poured down on the wounded, Private Elbert Corbin of the 1st New York Light Artillery was thrust into an unexpected role when he was ordered to remain behind and take care of his fallen comrades.
In this rare letter, Corbin detailed the quick training that enabled him to assist his wounded compatriots. He also writes of helping wounded enemies: "dressed our Boys wounds then . . . assisting to cut out Balls and dress the wounded Rebels." He resignedly noted the paradox of having to "Help to wound & Kill men then Patch them up."
Corbin describes operations and procedures he performed, saying that he now "can do up wounds from shot or shell or Bullits quite like an M.D." But he also reported that he is troubled by having become numb to the gruesome tasks of rudimentary surgery: "I can see an Arm or Leg taken off and it has no more affect on my feelings, than cutting so much Beef." Though he claimed that he was no longer disturbed by his work, it is clear that Corbin's experiences stayed with him, as he wrote of Gettysburg, "more suffering here in one second than you will see in a Leife."
A full transcript is available.
Monday Eve July 6th. 10.O'Clock – Em I have passed another busy day – Lieut Shelden was fixed up by me and made as comfortable and sent off with some other officers I am left here in Care of the Boys – Several of the boys who had very slight wounds are with the Battery. We have Patched up just so as to man 4 guns all told and the Battery is ready for the front . . . After getting off Lt[?] S. I dressed our Boys wounds then 15 or 20 of the Boys of other Batteries then I was sent to work assisting to cut out Balls and dress the wounded Rebels and we now have an quantity of them and I shall have to help tomorrow I can do up wounds from shot or shell or Bullits quite like an M.D. – I have had quite a Dicipline I do it for that – I can see an Arm or Leg taken off and it has no more affect on my feelings, than cutting so much Beef – Dead men are plenty here – and I saw plenty of them in all shapes on the field – Help to wound & Kill men then Patch them up I could show more suffering here in one second than you will see in a Leife– at home It is strange how I have diciplined my feelings to see Dying and suffering men and have no feelings only a passing thought, I have some [illegible] that were cut out of men I have had quite a chat to day with Rebels . . . such a Sabbath I shall long remember and these days work here among the wounded & dying –
* The Gilder Lehrman Institute thanks the following people in helping to identify Corbin as the author of this letter: Thomas E. Corbin (great grandson of Private Elbert Corbin); Greg Goodell and Scott Hartwig at the Gettysburg National Military Park; and Stephen J. Dreher, historian for Pettit's Battery B.

"Oh we have done it that way for years", "I'm a yankee at heart", "waste not, want not", "you're wrong, by compressing it you are increasing the R-Value", "I hate to throw away a good product", etc... I think I have heard every excuse in the book & it really does need to stop
First by compressing the batts, you are decreasing the effective R-Value (Yes, the proof is actually up on most of the manufacturers web sites)
Second if you are doing the job properly, you have already had to pull up the batts, cleaned the area & air sealed it, so you actually waste more time installing it properly than you would spend for material
Third, along the lines of properly installing it, are your installers going to take that time, or might you end up with voids where the FG isn't fully in contact with the Sheetrock (my area) or Vapor Barrier (up borth)
Fourth, if the material is still in good condition, why not donate it for use on a charity project
Just my .02 - anyone else?

When you condense fiberglass batts the overall R value decreases but the R value per inch increases. Compressing also decreases convection. Where compressing the batt is a problem is in the walls. When you see areas pressed below the stud surface you know that you have created an air path that will kill the installed R value. Its the old 6 sided rule.
My thoughts are that if they are going to be topped with cellulose then compressing them is not harmfull and actually beneficial.. For the most part you are going to know where the air leak are - top plates, light fixtures, plumbing, soffitts, etc. Those are the areas to pull the insulation back. Push it back in and it is better to compress to get full contact to the ceiling and joists. Cellulose over the top will create that monolithic layer that has a lower convection factor and higher insulation value.
When comparing fiberglass and cellulose in an attic the cellulose will have lower air permeability. Cellulose R value is less degraded by wind washing and convection than is fiberglass. When you top fiberglass with cellulose you make the fiberglass perform better as the cellulose blocks the wind washing and convection. The settling of cellulose is actually beneficial as it improves the Resistance to convection and wind washing.
If you look at high density fiberglass batts they have a higher R value per inch because they are denser. Compressing a standard batt increases the density per inch. New dense pack fiberglass like spider has a higher R value per inch than loose fill. Dense pack fiberglass performs more like dense pack cellulose in that is cuts down on internal convection and well leakiness into the cavity.
Niether fiberglass or cellulose is a radiant barrier but cellulose blocks radiant heat flow better than fiberglass. An often overlooked factor for attic insulation.
This is a complex issue and I don't believe there is an absolute, one size fits all, solution.
Robert is correct regarding the compression issue, not an issue. The issue of full contact with the ceiling below is debatable, particularly in the northeast where we use strapping to hang ceilings. And if the batts are humped up over wires and vent pipes etc. then it gets harder to reinstall properly.
A major issue is how hard is it to get the material out of the attic. If the only access is through a living space you have to bag in the attic, in bags that fit through the often tiny scuttle, and carry them out. It can be quite labor intensive.
As to donating it, if it isn't good enough for you why would you give it to a charity project where it is less likely to be installed properly? Our habit of saddling low income people with high energy costs is a social issue but I think it needs to stop.
Often I find the determining factor is vermin control. After years of seeing lots of attics I have noticed this trend: Fiberglass attics, lots of vermin. Cellulose over FG, lots of vermin. Cellulose only, no vermin. I'm sure that there are examples of vermin in cellulose but I have never seen them.
Bottom line? Good judgement still matters.
Bruce Harley's well accepted standards for grading of insulation include that compressing an R-13 wall batt by one inch decreases its R-value to R-10. Doing the math shows that the uncompressed batt has R-3.7 an inch, but the compressed batt is at R-4 an inch, higher. The problem is that the increase happens slower than the thickness loss, therefore an overall loss and added convection in the wall cavity to boot. So compressing the batt by an inch then adding more material makes the total R go up - an R-15 batt is denser than an R-13 is denser than the old R-11 batt. The problem, as has been stated, is the air pocket that is left below the batt by wires, etc. But it takes MUCH less time to get rid of most of that than it does to take the batts out. We leave them, push them down with a stick, and blow over them. And you guys in New England shouldn't be strapping ceilings anyway - costs money and material, energy for the life of the building, and has no purpose.
Ed Minch
I'm doing what I can to keep builders from putting strapping in but it's an amazingly tough sell. I talked one guy into it but when the drywall guy showed up he went ballistic. He had ordered his sheets to go the other way, he assumed that there would be strapping. Lots of yelling ensued, the builder concluded that it was a dumb idea, "Ya gotta put strapping, my daddy did".
Of course there is that fact that all the existing buildings have strapping, that's not coming out anytime soon. That's why I only recommend people who own blowers. No batt product is going to deal with that.
The new Energy Star standards include mandatory sealing of the wall/ceiling joint (top plate/drywall joints from the attic) in new houses. The strapping technique makes these joints leak even more because the installer is even less likely to nail near the top of the sheet. Of course, in a retrofit, try to get the blown fiberglass away from these joints for sealing in a graceful and efficient manner - impossible. I have been told by a builder (Pittsfield MA) that it evens up any unevenness in the joists, but it doesn't, and just laying them out on horses and graduating the crown during installation does that better.
Ed Minch
We have done several projects with this issue; as I see it, the best answer is to gets the old material in halfway decent shape, then blow over the top. (Actually, in the MF buildings we do, this is frequently going over blown FG, not FG batts, but the issue is the same.)
1) The FG has value where it is.
2) Removing it is labor-intensive, dirty, and has at least some associated hazard.
3) If we pull it, it won't get re-used, it'll get landfilled. Then it has no value to anyone.
Interesting points all & thanks for jumping in. I do have one quick overall point & a few corrections I see that should be made – for everyone that believes that compression is good, can you explain why all the FG manufacturers don't promote that line of logic?
RobertH – quick point, the high density FG is made from doubling the fibers per inch, not from compression.
Bill – I wish I hadn't lost my last camera - birds nest and mouse droppings everywhere in a cellulose insulated attic, the issue isn't the material but the overall air-sealing & workmanship (this had full chases open to the crawl space, basement, etc… I love the Bottom Line point you made
I am not a fan of fiberglass particulay batts. If you have batts in the attic and they havent been infested with bugs or animals then I think there is some value in reusing. You want to get the most out of them if you are going to reuse. in this situation you need a working understanding of what you are trying to accomplish. Normally you want to avoid compression but in this case I dont think you need to worry about. In this situation you want to avoid voids along the bottom and sides and compression will not penalize you.
In walls compression results in voids and promotes convection which severlycomprimises the performance. Now if you take a batt for a 2x6 wall and insert is in a 2x4 wall as long as there are not voids it wil work but I would not recomend it. The R value will be less than if installed in a 2x6 wall but would perform better than a standard R13 batt. Again I would not recommend it. I think you are better off using a bibs or dense pack. Batts are for DIYers that are fooled into thinking they are doing a great job. I have read that 40% of stud cavinties are not the standard 16" width.

b. Medal (miniature size): MIL-DTL-3943/251. Available commercially.
c. Ribbon: MIL-DTL-11589/13. Available commercially.
On 2 March 1995, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management Policy) (OASD-RMP) requested that The Institute of Heraldry prepare a medal and ribbon design for the proposed Armed Forces Service Medal. This medal was to be awarded to members of the Armed Forces who participated as members of units involved in military operations of significant numbers with no foreign armed opposition or the threat of imminent hostile action. This medal is intended to meet a void in the criteria between the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and the Humanitarian Service Medal.
Proposed design was forwarded by OASD-FMP to the Services and the Joint Staff. Concurrence in the establishment of the medal from the Services and the Joint Staff was received and the proposal was forwarded to the Office of Budget and Management (OMB) for issuance of an Executive Order. The medal was authorized by Executive Order 12985, dated 11 January 1996.
The AFSM shall take precedence immediately after the Southwest Asia Service Medal.

INDIA-EXECUTION-TALIBAN-KASAB-DEATH-PAKISTAN:Pakistan Taliban vow to attack Indian targets
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan's Taliban movement threatened on Thursday to attack Indian targets to avenge the country's execution of Mohammad Ajmal Kasab, the lone survivor of the militant squad responsible for a rampage through Mumbai that killed 166 people in 2008.
"We have decided to target Indians to avenge the killing of Ajmal Kasab," said Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan by telephone from an undisclosed location.

'Downton Abbey' Season 5 Spoilers: Dowager Countess Has a Past, Mr. Bates and Anna Move On
The "Downton Abbey" cast members Allen Leech, Laura Carmichael, Joanne Froggatt, and Michelle Dockery—who play Tom Branson, Lady Edith, Anna Bates, and Lady Mary respectively— were on hand with executive producer Gareth Neame to help promote the fifth season at the PBS summer press tour. Here's what to expect from the upcoming season.
Lady Mary will continue to be torn between her two suitors, Lord Blake (Julian Ovenden) and Lord Gillingham (Tom Cullen). When asked if this will be the season when Lady Mary gets to choose, Neame said, "She's still not quite sure, and I think that's a good hook for the audience n the fifth season to see which decision she's going to make."
Meanwhile, the Dowager Countess' (Maggie Smith) storyline is said to be "brilliant" this season. In a teaser clip for Season 5, Prince Kuragin (Rade Sherbedgia) is introduced, and Lady Mary is overheard saying, "Granny has a past!"
Lady Edith is still being pitied, and even her own father says as much. Gregson still appears to be missing in action, and having her daughter Marigold nearby and being raised by farmer Timothy Drewe as his own is a source of worry for her. Her turning up on Drewe's farm all the time will start to look a bit suspicious, and it's only a matter of time before someone at Downton notices.
Anna and Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle) are still dealing with the aftermath of her rape by Green (Nigel Harman), but there appears to be some healing, judging by a tender moment wherein the couple talks about having children. Froggatt, however, notes that "they are keeping secrets from each other … In her heart of hearts she doesn't believe Mr. Bates has [killed Green] … but she has this doubt."
"Downton Abbey" Season 5 premieres on Jan. 4 on PBS.

President pushes for MORE debt, Seeks help from first-term A-Team, Frustrated Dems Increasingly Defying Obama
Frustrated Dems Increasingly Defying Obama…
WASHINGTON — For four years, President Obama counted on fellow Democrats to rally to his side in a series of epic battles with Republicans over the direction of the country. But now, deep in his fifth year in office, Mr. Obama finds himself frustrated by members of his own party weary of his leadership and increasingly willing to defy him.
In recent weeks, disgruntled Democrats, particularly liberals, have bolted from the White House on issues like National Security Agency surveillance policies, a planned military strike on Syria and the potential choice of Lawrence H. Summers to lead the Federal Reserve. In private, they often sound exasperated describing Mr. Obama's operation; in public, they are sometimes only a little more restrained.
They complain the White House has not consulted enough and failed to assert leadership. They say Mr. Obama has been too passive and ceded momentum to Republicans. Their grievances are sometimes contradictory; some grouse that he takes on causes he cannot win, while others say he does not fight hard enough for principled positions. The failure to enact tightened gun control laws and the Republican hold on immigration legislation have left liberals little to celebrate this year.
President pushes for MORE debt
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will appeal to business leaders on Wednesday to urge Congress to approve an increase in the U.S. debt limit and avoid a default that is possible as early as mid-October.
Obama is to address the Business Roundtable as part of a renewed push to focus on domestic budget and economic issues after a month dominated by foreign policy.
Seeks help from first-term A-Team
A struggling President Obama is calling for help from members of his first-term A-Team, who have left the White House for other jobs.
With his poll numbers falling and his second-term floundering so far, Obama has sought help from the former aides who helped catapult him to the presidency.

There is only one running back category, but that doesn't mean all RBs are created equal. Within this group are prospects that you could classify as more of all-purpose backs, players who might not typically be able to carry the load but whose athleticism and versatility can allow them to contribute in multiple ways. Regardless of how you might classify them, many of the top running backs in the 2014 class have already made a commitment, with only 11 of the top 50 currently undeclared. There is still some talent available -- here's a look at the top five "all-purpose" backs still out there.
(Oakley, Calif./Freedom) | Highlights | List of schools considering
6-1, 209 pounds| ESPN 300 rank: 100 | RB rank: 9 | Grade: 83 | Stars: 4
This is a back with good size and speed, and while his running style might not allow him to be an ideal downhill load-carrier, he is one the most well-rounded RBs in the 2014 class. With good speed, he can still make plays when you hand him the rock, but he also possesses strong receiving skills. Whether out of the backfield or in the slot, he can be a weapon as a receiving target. The four-star demonstrates he can also be an effective blocker as well and as a total package, Mixon can be a versatile weapon for an offense.

RPGWatch - Game of the Year 2011 Awards: Best Indie RPG
by Myrthos, 2012-01-26 17:14:21
This is the first year where you could cast a vote specifically for Indie RPGs. If you are curious enough to find out which games received the awards, check out our article.
Here is a snippet from the Gamers' Choice:
It isn't a typical action/RPG but rather a hack'n'slasher that has very carefully stripped away unnecessary elements and substituted some innovative ideas, such as the optional shrines that allow players to choose additional challenges in return for more XP. XP unlocks slots for "tonics" - potions that improve stats or provide other benefits. Instead of the usual inventory management, you only carry two weapons at a time but the loadout can be swapped around and each weapon has five upgrade levels.

REWA (Belmont) - Mr. Clarence "Kelly" Rewa, age 91, passed away from injuries he sustained in a fire at his home on Thursday, December 15, 2011. He grew up on a farm during the Great Depression and was one of 13 children. Kelly went to school through the eigth grade; and at that time there were no higher grade levels. He helped his family on the farm and volunteered for the draft during WWII. Kelly was at the US Army boot camp on Pearl Harbor day. He served in Guadalcanal, Rhineland, and Central Europe. Throughout his life he loved working with wood, beginning as a lumberjack, then as a carpenter, a toy maker and animal carver. He and Bonnie entertained with house parties and liked to go to dances. Kelly thought that November 15th was a legal holiday. Until he was 84 years old, he hunted on the property he called, "Little Up North." His passions included gardening, Gravely tractors, volleyball, horseshoes, softball, and playing cards. Kelly's first love was for his wife, Bonnie. He was a good provider for his wife and 15 children. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Bonnie; children, Jim and Marilyn Rewa, Andy and Dawn Rewa, Becky and George Skinner, Norah Ward, Ben and Kim Rewa, Amy and Dave Presler, Jenny and Raphael Figueroa, Fred and Linda Rewa, Roni and Brent Willmer, Phil and Jennifer Rewa, Josie and Steve Hiltz, Adam and Jody Rewa, Jessie and Mike Wierckz, Rachel Graham and Emily Swartzlander; 48 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren; sisters, Florence Squire, Margie Heibel, Agnes Lenhart, and Irma Weber. He was preceded in death by granddaughter, Kimberly Presler, and daughter-in-law, Marcia Rewa. The Mass of Christian Burial for Mr. Rewa will be offered on Monday at 11:00 a.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Church, Parnell with The Rev. Mark Peacock presiding. Military honors will be under the auspices of the U.S. Army with interment at St. Patrick Cemetery. The Rosary will be prayed on Sunday evening at 8:30 p.m. Because of family's total loss in the fire, family and friends are asked to consider the needs of the family. Relatives and friends may meet with the family at the Pederson Funeral Home on Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. and prior to the Mass at the church on Monday.

Looking to wrap up this first preseason trip to Arizona in positive fashion, Vancouver Whitecaps FC take on Major League Soccer rivals Columbus Crew in their latest training match at the Reach 11 Sports Complex in Phoenix on Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. PT.
Follow Tuesday's training match @WhitecapsFC
Teitur Thordarson's side have already played two MLS opponents during this 11-day camp at Grande Sports World in Casa Grande, Arizona. Both games were extended contests, with the Blue and White defeating Real Salt Lake 2-1 in a 135-minute match last Tuesday before falling 1-0 in a 105-minute contest versus Cascadia rivals Seattle Sounders FC. The formats of both matches last week allowed the 'Caps to play the many players they currently have in camp.
"So far, things this preseason have progressed better than I expected, so I'm quite pleased with that," defender Jonathan Leathers told whitecapsfc.com. "As we get more familiar with each other, I think our play on the pitch will speed up."
Tuesday's game will be a more standard affair, with Whitecaps FC and the Crew to play a 90-minute training match over two 45-minute halves. Vancouver are close to full strength at present, with the fit-again pair of centre back Jay DeMerit and midfielder John Thorrington expected to see action against Columbus. Jeb Brovsky, Joe Cannon, and Cornelius Stewart are listed as day-to-day, while youngster Russell Teibert has left camp to join up with the Canadian U-20 national team.
"Columbus are a strong, physical team, so we'll have to be ready for that. We'll have to be aware of all their crosses, corners, and free kicks tomorrow," Former Sporting Kansas City man Leathers said of the Crew. "I'm expecting it to be a good contest."
A part of MLS since its inception in 1996, Columbus are retooling their squad for 2011, with big names such as Frankie Hejduk and Guillermo Barros Schelotto moving on from the Ohio club at the end of last season. Crew head coach Robert Warzycha has several new faces in camp, including MLS journeyman striker Jeff Cunningham, who is beginning his second spell with the Ohio outfit. On Saturday, the Crew drew 2-2 with Sporting Kansas City in a training match that was played in three 30-minute periods in Phoenix. The Crew are also preparing for an early start to their season. Later this month, Warzycha's squad take on MLS rivals Real Salt Lake in a two-leg quarterfinal series in the CONCACAF Champions League.
Tuesday's contest is the first-ever meeting between Vancouver and Columbus. As a North American second division club, the 'Caps faced Ohio-based opposition in the form of two defunct clubs - Cincinnati Riverhawks (1999-2003) and Cleveland City Stars (2009).

What?! Someone actually started a blog on this? I'm impressed at the amount of time he/she has on his/her hands!
I agree with mr big though; it isn't much use unless these people pay (literally) for their parking misdemeanours.
Most of the time they just don't care, like this non-disabled guy who kept parking in the disabled lot in my estate. He only stopped doing so recently, when someone scratched "F**K YOU" all over his car. Haha!

The fact that it had quite a task ahead of it might not have put the Weston High football team in the proper mindset when it visited Masuk last week.
The Trojans knew they were in for a battle against the undefeated, defending South-West Conference champs. Their expectations were confirmed early in a 49-0 loss in a battle of division leaders on Friday, Nov. 16, at Benedict Field.
The win not only came on Masuk's Senior Night, it clinched it a spot in the South-West Conference title game at Newtown.
It was only the second loss of the season for the Trojans, who are now 7-2 overall.
"We were playing the name first before the players," said Weston head coach Joe Lato. "That was a good, old-fashioned whooping."
Weston made some noise early when it sacked Panther quarterback Brandon Charney on first down. The hosts then got in gear, starting with a 31-yard completion from Charney to Tom Milone. The series was capped off by a 34-yard pass to Andy Freeden for the touchdown and with Chris Rubis nailing the first of his seven extra-point kick the Panthers were on their way.
The Panthers'defense then went to work, recovering a fumble on Weston's first series to put them in good shape at the 16 yard line. Frank Bacarella scored from the nine and it was 14-0 less than three minutes into the action.
Weston had to punt on its next possession and the Panthers took over on their own 26. On first down Charney threw a short pass to Milone, who then dodged would-be tacklers for a 74-yard touchdown and a 21-0 lead.
With the kickoff going out of bounds, Weston started on its own 35. An illegal use of the hands call against Masuk gave the Trojans a first down and a 12-yard completion from Tyler Hassett to Justin Schaffer sustained the drive but it stalled on the Masuk 44 as the hosts took over on downs at the end of the first quarter.
On first down Bacarella swept down the right side, getting as far as the Weston three before getting forced out of bounds. The senior found the end zone on the next play and it was 28-0 with 11:28 left in the half.
The Trojans went three and out on their next series and the Panthers embarked on another scoring drive, this one starting on their own 48 and ending with an eight-yard run by Bacarella with 8:30 to go.
Masuk got the ball back once more before the half when a Weston punt went out of bounds on its own 24. Two plays later Milone found the end zone from four yards out and it was 42-0 with less than five minutes to go.
Although Weston had to punt once more it got the ball back when Jimmy Brasco recovered a fumble on the Masuk 42, setting up its best scoring chance. Hassett completed several passes, getting the Trojans a first down on the one with four seconds left, but was stopped at the goal line as time expired.
Taking the second-half kickoff, the Trojans got into Masuk territory before the Panthers took over on downs on their own 46. After a 34-yard gain by Milone, Mark Dellapiano handled the ball carrying duties and ended the drive with a three-yard run with 6:16 left in the third quarter.
With its starters now on the bench Masuk simply concentrated on holding the Trojans at bay. Kyle Squibb recovered on fumble on the Weston 16 but the Panthers eventually turned the ball over on downs as the third quarter came to a close.
When Weston eventually punted again the Panthers were careful to remain out of the end zone lest they violate the CIAC's 50-point rule. After reaching the Weston six Panthers simply took a knee on four straight downs until the Trojans took over and time eventually expired.
Weston had only 155 total rushing yards. Hassett led with 62 and freshman J.T. DeLara had 60.
Defensively, Schaffer and Aaron Pomerance each had three tackles for Weston.
The Trojans finish the regular season on Thursday in the annual Thanksgiving Day game at Joel Barlow at 10 a.m. A win will put them in good shape for a spot in the state Class M playoffs.

RCBS Customer Service
Short version: Called RCBS to get a replacement part for my press. The part broke due to my own stupidity. I asked if I could buy another one in addition to the one they were going to send me for free but the rep (Brian) said "Eh, I'll just throw a couple in the envelope for ya". Awesome!! Thanks, RCBS!
Long version: I stuck a case this weekend and broke a part on my press. I was running 45-70 through my RCBS Pro2000 progressive when a case stuck coming out of the resizing die. HARD. I ended up pulling the shell plate all the way off of the ram, breaking the head off of the shoulder bolt that holds the shellplate down.
Since the shell plate was still attached to the bottom of the case I was able to loosen the die from the tool head and with a little effort the act of unscrewing the die all the way pulled the case out. Didn't even rip the rim off!
The problem was I hadn't used enough lube on the cases. I normally spray one spritz of Frankford Arsenal case lube into a 1-gallon ziplock bag and toss in 50 45-70 cases, jiggle them around a bit, pour them out, wait a few minutes, and then begin sizing. This time, however, I spilled the cases and during the time it took to get them back into the bag, enough of the alcohol evaporated so that the cases didn't get enough lanolin or whatever on them. I should have stopped when I realized the cases were harder to size than normal. Luckily though after breaking the Pro2000 I was able to switch to my Reloader-Special 5 single stage and continue. Yes I am an RCBS fanboy.
Anyway, as already mentioned, they are sending me a replacement shoulder bolt and a spare all for free. I <3 RCBS

I have had great service from both RCBS and Hornady. A friend just bought a used RCBS progressive and they sent him some parts he was missing for free. I had the same experience with Hornady when I bought a used pro jector.
I think every other industry could take some ques from the reloading industry, not that they need to give stuff for free, but just their whole mannerism. They seem to truly understand that they are there to take care of the customer and that we have options.

I've had excellent customer service from RCBS, Lee, Hornady, Dillon, and I think MEC sent me a free part once too. The only one I've had any bad experiences with was Lyman.

I had the spring break on my Lee Pro Auto Disk measure only after a couple weeks of use. When I contacted Lee they were very apologetic sent me 2 replacement springs via ups. I called them back and asked why they sent 2 and they said that they didn't want me to be "down" in the event I ever broke one again.

My RCBS 5-0-5 scale started shifting 2-4 tenths at random intervals after 3 years of working fine. Not a drift - a jump. Zero and check weights shifted same amount. I think I managed to damage one of the knife blades based on inspection with a magnifying glass. Trying to stone the nick smooth didn't help.
I called RCBS and told the tech exactly what I typed above. "Just send it in with a note saying it worked fine for 3 years and now doesn't. We'll either fix it or replace it."
It hasn't come back yet but I can't wait until it does!

So I got a question for the ones that have called Hornady.
When I first started reloading, I was getting ready to resize and decap some .223 cases and got one stuck. I didn't have enough lube on it. Well while trying to get the case off the expander ball on the decapping pin chipped a bit. Well I figured if I called them then they would tell me that well it was my fault and tough luck.
Do y'all think if I call Hornady that I could get it replaced? Just wondering. From reading all the stories is why I'm asking.

Thank you OP for starting this topic.
After reading all the post on here, I decided to call Hornady and tell them about the expander ball on my decapping pin being chipped due to trying to get a stuck case off. He verified my address and said we will get a new one sent out too you.
So thank you for posting this topic, otherwise I would have never called. I would have just chalked it up to experience to know what not to do.

RCBS sent me a "new in the box" 10-10 scale ($165) because I lost the Beam during a move. Customer service doesn't get better than that!

I have had nothing but stellar service from RCBS. I broke the cam indexing arm on my Pro 2000. It was my dumb fault. I called RCBS. I tell them i broke the part by my error and it was not the products fault.
The guy asked for my address and told me it was in the mail. I told him I did not feel right taking the part that I broke for free. I asked he take my credit card info. He refused and asked me how many RCBS products I have on my bench. I told him my bench is 70-80 percent RCBS. He replied the reason the RCBS warranty is the way it is to keep us satisfied.
I wish other industries were as helpful as the reloading industry.
