From left, Jake Harper (Angus T. Jones), Alan Harper (Jon Cryer), and Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) in "Two and a Half Men." (Cliff Lipson / CBS / April 5, 2013) |
"Two and a Half Men" is about to become "Two Men and a Gay Woman."
Partly as a replacement for Angus T. Jones -- whose screen time will be sharply cut after he publicly bashed the show as "filth" last year -- CBS' hit sitcom is going to add a recurring and possibly permanent lesbian character named Jenny. She's the 21-year-old illegitimate daughter of the late Charlie Harper, who was played by Charlie Sheen, who himself was booted from the show after tangling with his bosses.
The role of Jenny has yet to be cast, but reports say she's -- surprise -- "sexy and gorgeous." (Has any hit show ever added a character who could be described as "average-looking and unremarkable"?)
She "will share many traits with her deceased father, including her love of women," E! News reported.
Wow, this could give CBS and Warner Bros. a rich new opportunity to explore issues of equality and social justice. Or, knowing the show's record, it could provide a rich new source of lesbian jokes. Your call.
A Warner Bros. spokeswoman confirmed the reports but declined to elaborate.
What do you think of the move?

MODEST RECEPTION (Paziraie Sadeh)June 27Director: Mani Haghighi (Iran 2012)
Leila and Kaveh are a mysterious pair from Tehran, traveling the mountainous countryside in their Lexus coupe to push big bags of money on the locals. This turns out to be not so easy, but fascinating to watch, as the cagey couple invent increasingly brazen stratagems to place cash in the hands of the wary, proud or indifferent. Will they push things too far? Are they losing sight of their mission? What exactly is their mission?
SOUTHWEST (Sudoeste)July 18Director: Eduardo Nunes (Brazil 2011)
In this gorgeously dreamlike and mysterious tale, a young woman named Clarice gives birth on her deathbed to a baby girl also christened Clarice by the bruxa (or witch) attending the nearly simultaneous moments of death and birth. Spirited away to a remote lakeside village, baby Clarice lives her whole life in the span of twenty-four hours, and yet (as the film's vast, black-and-white panoramas suggest) even so compressed a lifetime remains impossible to fully grasp or contain.
August 1Director: Darezhan Omirbayev (Kazakhstan 2012)

At Total-Apps, we attribute our success to the diligent effort and integrity of our professional network of Agents. Total-Apps's agents are accordingly garnered with the respect and appreciation they have so duly earned, and are generously compensated through our Agent program. Our Agents are treated with the dignity, respect and appreciation they deserve. We are well aware of the lack of respect our competitors show their Agents – "You want us more than we want you," is too common a theme. At Total-Apps –
We Want You!
As a prospective Agent, you are aware of the volatile nature of this business. Instability, unfulfilled promises and lack of integrity has plagued the merchant processing industry for years. As previous agents ourselves, we understand what it takes to stand apart from the competition. Total-Apps was built from the ground up with Agents in mind. Our goal is simple: Become the most robust, service oriented processing entity in the marketplace.
The Total-Apps agent program, lucrative compensation program was structured to generate consistent, LONG TERM RESIDUALS. For referred clients that contract with Total-Apps for processing, the referring Agent is eligible for our tiered residual structure. The more processing you establish with us, the higher the commission structure. The merchant processing industry is ripe with large volume merchants seeking reliable processing. Total-Apps "But I have other processors offering me a buy rate for my client referrals!"
We do not offer our agents buy rates for one reason – they cost clients. Under competing buy rate programs, Agents are forced to continually acquire new merchants to replace the clients that drop off. Unfortunately, the excessive rates offered to clients cause a massive turnover rate. Remember, your clients are shopping rates just as hard as you are!
Don't risk losing your hard earned clients to your competition. Competing banks can easily undercut excessive rates and take your clients direct. Let us help by offering the most competitive rates in the industry in order to retain your client portfolio.
In addition to offering the most competitive rates for your merchants, Total-Apps provides the only complete ISO office program in the marketplace. Because our agent program is all inclusive, you spend more time closing deals and less time shuffling paperwork!
Thank you for taking the time to review Total-Apps's Agent program. If you are seeking a processing solution for your clients, then look no further. Feel free to contact us for inquiries about Total-Apps's Agent Agreement. Once we receive your signed Agent Agreement, you may begin to submit clients and profit handsomely.
We look forward to building a lifetime relationship with you.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
The Indian wind power programme was initiated in 1983-1984 and a Wind Energy Data Handbook published in 1983 by the Department of Non-conventional Energy Sources (now the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, MNRE) served as a data source for early government initiatives. In 1985 an extensive Wind Resource Assessment was launched, which also signalled the beginning of concentrated development and harnessing of renewable sources of energy and, more specifically, of wind energy. To date, seven volumes of the Handbook on Wind Energy Resource Survey, containing a huge volume of accumulated wind data, have been published. It is being implemented through the state Nodal Agencies and the Centre for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET). C-WET, an autonomous R&D institution, established by the Ministry and based in Chennai, acts as a technical focal point for wind power development in India.
Estimates of the Indian wind resource have put it at about 45 000 MW (assuming 3% land availability for wind farms requiring 12 ha/MW, at sites having a wind power density in excess of 250 W/m2 at 50 m hub height). Potential locations with abundant wind have been identified in the following 10 states: Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
In terms of currently installed wind turbine capacity, India ranks fourth in the world behind Germany, Spain and the USA. At end-2005 the figure stood at
4 434 MW. Tamil Nadu possessed over 57% of the commercial plants. By end-September 2006 installed capacity had already grown to 6 018 MW.
Demonstration projects, which began in 1985, are being implemented in areas not already possessing projects but where commercial developments could follow. In early 2006, demonstration capacity totalled 68 MW.
Use is being made of wind-diesel hybrid projects where an area is dependent on diesel fuel. A project with a capacity of 2 x 50 kW has been commissioned in the Sagar Islands in West Bengal. Phase II (8 x 50 kW) is expected to be commissioned shortly.
The strong growth in the Indian wind energy market is expected to continue, and even accelerate, as a result of a range of Government and State-led financial incentives.

McCartney including songs from his upcoming 'New' album — and fielded questions from the 400 students in attendance. Asked by a student to name his most important early career lesson, McCartney responded, "When we first started out, I was terrified of doing anything wrong onstage.

Wynn may take gamble on Everett site - 0 Comments
Could challenge Caesars for Hub casino license
Casino titans are gearing up for an epic clash in the Boston market as the once-jilted Vegas tycoon Steve Wynn readies for a second Bay State play in a bid that puts him in direct competition with key rival Caesars Entertainment's proposal at Suffolk Downs.
"Do I welcome competition? Yeah, I welcome competition, but I want a casino in Boston, as does (Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino)," said Boston City Councilor Sal LaMattina. "I still think Suffolk Downs is a perfect location, and I would have a lot of concern that a casino is going to Everett."

When attending as a buyer, I like to arrive early and blast through the wines I have singled out ahead of time as interesting, taking brief notes as I go. Afterward, if time permits, I will do some networking with colleagues and friends in the trade.
When playing the host of a trade tasting, I have another focus entirely. Will the serious account buyers show up? Or will there be 2:1 entry-level staff who do not make the buying decisions? And will those staff bring their girlfriend who has never attended a tasting, does not use spit-buckets and is red-faced and too chatty just 30 minutes into the show? Will I be held hostage by the ever-present cheese and cracker spitter, who insists on talking to me even with his mouth full? (strangely there is one of these at every tasting).
And of course, what will be the return on my investment and cost for the show? Will I actually make sales that day or is it just an exercise in marketing? In my experience it is usually more the latter but there are exceptions, especially if a wine is limited and buyers are encouraged via a discount to place orders that day.
I am interested in differing perspectives/stories on trade tastings so I reached out to some other wine professionals for their feedback. I asked them what they dreaded or enjoyed about trade tastings, as well as whether they made purchasing decisions at tastings. Here is what they had to say:
"Of course, you are never 100% happy, you always want to do something different next time. Tastings do not lead to immediate sales but you hope the buyer remembers you later."
Luis Moya
Owner, VinosUnicos Importer & Distributor
"- I dislike being surrounded by droves of people who tend to set up camp in front of a table and make it extremely frustrating for others to get in, taste and then out.
- The best trade tasting I ever attended was the Vie Vinum in Vienna, Austria. By far the most well organized tasting I've been to.
- I typically walk away from a trade tasting with a rough idea of a future game plan or strategy. I have, of course, found some "must have" wines that I found there way into our inventory."

"While I wouldn't qualify the emotion as "dread", I'll say that I don't enjoy when there are 200 wines I've got to taste in 2 hours, nor missing work to do so. Man - And I don't always like running into some of the folks I exclusively see at trade tastings. It can be kind of a shit show of insecure wine buyers, trying desperately to understand what is in front of them & make a good impression on their peers. To me, I just want to taste a bunch of wines, not take super detailed notes, figure out what I really want, high-five a little with my friends, eat a little cheese, then get back to work.....
Yeah, I use trade tastings to know what to purchase. It's super helpful to have that kind of access. And when you get to taste comparatively, it's radical."
Collin Casey
GM/Wine Director

"trade tastings... I really don't think they are the best ways / conditions to taste wines (too many wines, too many people, most of the time with bad glassware, in a warm room, noisy...) And for most of them, they can easily be more a "network/connection" party than a wine tasting....
but i think they are necessary, because of they can allow you to compare in a very short amount of time many different wines you usually taste individually, and specifically for me, they allow me to discover or to have a kind of an intuition for a wine i will taste later in better condition"

Works GreatPros: Originally bought Rosewill switches, had many weird issues with then, since switching to these no employees reported issues anymore, like having all 5 ports instead of 4 ports and an uplink port. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Can't get everything to work at once.Pros: Great price. Good reviews. Fast shipping. Cons: Not recognizing all connections. I've set this up to distribute my internet from my Motorola Cable modem (which only has the one port). I've got one desktop wired straight in. One router which connects a desktop, PS3 and wireless devices. And one cable going to my Sony Bravia. When I first fired it up, I had no connection to the tv. After rebooting the cable modem, the lone desktop had no connection. A third reboot and my wireless router was not connected. I tried rebooting the switch and still had the random connectivity. No matter what I've tried, I cannot get all to work. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Amazing Bang for the Buck!Pros: Fast delivery! Plug & play right out of the box! Just plug in the ac, the cable from the modem or router & extensions. No drivers, setup or anything! Works great! Cons: It is a 4-port switch -- NOT a 5-port switch. 1 of the connectors is taken by the input cable from the router. Not worth deducting a star. Other Thoughts: I am amazed by how easy it is to set up & how well it works as well as its low price! I paid $10 delivered. Thanks Newegg. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
another winner from neweggPros: Got it quickly (thanks newegg), opened it up, plugged it in, and it worked perfectly. No muss, no fuss. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Just what I neededPros: -Better than my other one Cons: None yet.. Other Thoughts: This is definitely better than my old Netgear switch, running at 10Mbps. This has 10x the speed, and it shows. I can easily run my Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, and Garrys Mod servers, without completely killing my network switch. Did you find this review helpful? |
RE:DOA review left Trendnet replacedPros: Let's start with customer service from Trendnet..Top notch comes to mind. My original 1 egg review of this item being DOA got an immediate response from Trendnet. I was expecting to have to ship this back and then wait for a replacement. To my surprise after letting them know what was wrong with it they said they would ship me another with no need to return the faulty one. In this day and age of every dollar counting I can say this is certainly going above and beyond for your customers. They have me as a customer for life because they do something you just don't see much of anymore, they stand behind their product. My thanks to Rodney F. for taking the time at Trendnet to make me a satisfied customer. Cons: None..works perfect. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
DOA..not worth returningPros: None Cons: It didn't work right out of the box. It even says in the manual that with the Auto Mdix ports you can use any port as an uplink. NOT true..only port 5 worked and was not marked or divided from other ports. It then worked for about 30 seconds and stopped and would do that over and over again. Not worth paying return shipping to have it replaced. JUNK Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Works wellPros: Well made and works nice Cons: None Other Thoughts: I added a switch to my network and I'm happy I did. Did you find this review helpful? |
3 Years, still worksPros: I've owned this product 3 years and it still works. No complaints here. Has convenient holes in the back so you can screw/nail it to the wall or desk so it can't move. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |
EXCELLENT PRODUCTPros: Simple to use and it works so far without an issue. Mine is the blue one otherwise the same thing. Plug this thing in and your off immediately. Cons: Non so far! Other Thoughts: I already have a gigabit router and a gigabit Trendnet Switch. However, I wanted to plug my printer in the laundry-room and work on computers in the Living-room from time to time without having to plug and unplug the printer. Also, I did not want to drill a second hole or enlarge the current hole on the wall to pass a second RJ45 cable. This is where this little Switch comes into play. It works perfect for my simple needs (no Gigabit needed for occasional use), it's small plus cheap. I was able to get it for just under seven Buckaroos, free shipping and new. If it last and works as reliable as my other Trendnet network equipment I'll be extremely happy. Did you find this review helpful? |

Hi all,
I have a Lyon & Healy C with serial no. 450 - does anyone out there have any info on the date of this instrument?
Thank you,
Ilene #
Hi all,
I have a Lyon & Healy C with serial no. 450 - does anyone out there have any info on the date of this instrument?
Thank you,
Ilene #
Well, as you probably know there is very little info on the L and H numbers, and that there was a fire that destroyed the records......but I would guess that this is around the 1918-1919 date. Never actually played a C type but they sure do look lovely.
Any pictures?
Hope the above helps
Thanks Kieron - wow, I didn't know there was a fire that destroyed the records. #I thought it might be the teens as it has the longer neck. I'm really enjoying playing it and it does look lovely. I might never play my Lyon & Healy bowlback again. Here's a photo taken from the dealers website.
Agree with 1918. Ck the finger rest to see if it says "Pat. Apld. For" -- or if there's a date.
Being a huge L&H mandolin fan and having owned a number of them, I too have always had difficulty ascertaining the exact dates of instruments, and have always heard the tale of the fire that destroyed the company's records.
Recently I discovered this post (made by Keef, who is also a member of the mandolincafe) on a Washburn guitar forum:
"there are a LOT of urban myths regarding L&H. Many unfounded stories circulate, including the 1920s fire."
I just had to check the serial # in my model C. Turns out it's 443. I bought it at an antique shop. I picked it up, the shopkeeper said "I want $175. for the banjo!" The rest is history. I almost sold it once, but won't make that mistake again! I'll try to post an image.
What a lovely long-scale C -- is there a patent stamp on the finger rest? Also, may we see the back?
Here is a shot of the back. The scan does not do it justice. The center seam was repaired before I got it. The finger board is also stamped p.a.f
While I too admit to an interest in dating instruments, L&H has been tough. Fortunately, unlike makers such as Gibson, the quality and nature of whose instruments tends to be variable, L&H mandolins of this type (Styles A-C) are all of high quality. The onlt substantial difference is that later mandolins were made with a shorter scale than the early examples; if you have an instrument in hand and a ruler, you're armed with pretty near all you need to know. (Laong scale approaches Gibson 14'; shorter is about 13").

OK, that was scary.
Congress has finally voted to approve a bill to avert a fiscal cliff that would have led to higher taxes on most Americans. It now heads to President Obama's desk for his approval.
The measure passed the House by a 257-167 vote late Tuesday. Speaker John Boehner was among the GOP lawmakers who voted yes for the plan.
Obama, before heading back to Hawaii to rejoin his family on vacation, chided both the House and Senate for its protracted tug of war over the vote, which frayed the nerves of many Americans.
"While I will negotiate over many things, I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they've already racked up through the laws that they've passed," he said after Tuesday's vote. Obama said he hoped 2013 would see more bipartisan compromise in Washington "with a little bit less drama, a little less brinksmanship [and] not scare the heck out of folks quite as much."
The deal was in limbo for most of the day as House Democrats and House Republicans met separately to discuss the Senate plan. House Republicans decided to bring the measure up for a vote instead of trying to add an amendment to the Senate bill that would have added $300 billion in spending cuts.
Some top GOP lawmakers had concerns about the deal reached by the Senate. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said earlier that he opposed the bill in its current form.
It is unclear when Obama will sign the measure.
The bill passed in the Senate early Tuesday morning, thanks in part to the efforts of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden.
Lawmakers were under additional pressure to get the measure done quickly because a new Congress would have been sworn in on Thursday. If the bill didn't pass by then, the bill passed by the previous Senate would no longer apply and both the Senate and House would have had to go back to the drawing board.
Here's what is in the bill passed by the Senate:
Here's what's not in the plan:

HLN's Jennifer Westhoven will have details on these provisions and what to expect from today's proceedings in the House on Morning Express with Robin Meade.

Pure olive oil soap--thyme-clove-cinnamon
Soap-making, like perfumery, is a high art in France, and these soaps are the finest I've found in a country full of wonderful hand-made soaps. Made by two sisters and their two apprentices in a former tithe-barn dating from the 13th century. Their estate was once the principal farm of the most beautiful abbey in the valley of the Loire.
These soaps contain absolutely nothing synthetic. They are lovingly crafted according to an ancient (and secret) method, involving six different steps and several months. Only the purest, highest quality essential oils are used to scent the soaps. These are added in the last step of their fabrication, giving the soaps a beautiful marbled appearance. This marbling is echoed in the beautifully marbled, hand-printed paper in which each soap is hand-wrapped. Due to their lack of artificial colorings, these soaps are in natural vegetal tones of cream, greens, and browns. Their perfumes are subtle and evocative. Their lathers are unctuous and rich, leaving your skin feeling moisturized.
This thyme-carnation-cinnamon soap has a refreshing, stimulating scent that is as appropriate for men as for women. The soap contains: 64% pure olive oil; 16% coconut oil; natural essences of thym, clove, cinnamon, lavender, wild thyme (
), rosemary, and benzoin.

First open to the public in 1968 for cultural and recreational uses, the grounds of the Rozelle Estate combines mature woodland, rhododendron walks, parkland and ornamental ponds, to produce a rich and varied landscape for all visitors.
The grounds also play host to a variety of events throughout the year such as the Ayr Flower Show, Scotland's premier horticultural event as well as The Holy Fair.
The estate has two galleries one of which is Rozelle House Galleries which is the permanent home to a collection of 54 paintings based on Tam O' Shanter arguably Robert Burns most famous poem.

If you enjoy cooking and taking time this is for you because the end result is so worth it. I love making the confit because it allowed me to get in there with my hands and that's my favourite part about cooking. The end result was devine everybody loved it at my dinner! I was so happy I took the time... a suggestion make the confit the night before and let it marinate in it's juices... then drain it again and re-roast it for ten minutes. The garlic really has time to lose it's acidic strong taste and the rich sweetness really exudes out.
I made this and ran into no trouble. It's a pretty easy recipe to make.
However: 1. it took me way longer than expected, more like 4 hours or more. 2. (related) this is a lot of vegetables. It took me several ovensful to roast all the peppers, and I needed to put 2 tins in the oven at the same time to roast the vegetables at the end (which worked fine). I had 2 big bowls of vegetables, which reduced down to 1 bowl.
But it tasted great! Everyone loved it.
This recipe is enough for at least 8 to 10 people. I know that it does take up a bit of room in the oven, especially if you don't have a big oven. So if you like you can half the recipe, to make a smaller batch.
And yes even though it is easy, it does take a bit of time. For me it usually takes 2 hours start to finish. But I am not working that whole time. In the end it's definitely worth it!
I made 2 (half) batches as I put too many chili flakes in the first. Just added the second batch to the first to even out the taste. I used fresh tomatoes the second time as it was all I had on hand but did have to pour off some juice half way through cooking so canned is easier. It took less than 40 min to prepare. Make sure to keep the peppers covered the full 15 minutes as I rushed it the second time and they didn't peel as easily. Great recipe.
With onion will an Escalivada (Tipical Catalonian recipe). In the tradicional way, the recipe can be done easier, just put all the vegetables with skin include on the owen. Escellent video on Youtube to learn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfmGF6uByiM
This is a great reipe. I want this to be my dish for a pot-luck party. I will not be able to cook much at the venue. I think I could get the oven for a little bit to warm things up but I can't do the whole thing there.
Is there a way this recipe could be arranged so as to be able to take to a potluck?
Although normally everything is better fresh, (I would still take Dawn's suggestion of making it in the morning), I have had great success freezing this recipe as well. I usually make the crostini the day before if I am going to be busy and they keep well in a tin container. I don't rub them with the garlic if I make them ahead and really don't miss it. We love this confit.
I think this recipe is fantastic. I particularly like the "meaty" texture of the roasted eggplant. My favorite element, though, was the use of the black salt on the crostini. I have black salt on hand for Indian recipes. However, I have never used it as a stand alone spice. I had no idea just how eggy/rich this salt was, until I tried this recipe. It must have some heavy sulfuric components. Still, it made an entirely vegetarian dish taste exceptionally rich.

Map offers new clue to lost colony
A clue in a centuries-old mystery could change U.S. history as we know it. British researchers say it may lead them to the fate of more than 100 English settlers that might have been hiding in plain sight for more than 400 years. In 1585, Sir Walter Raleigh sent a group of pioneers to establish what was supposed to be a permanent English colony on Roanoke Island in Dare County. In 1590, the colony was deserted, with no sign of a struggle or battle. Erin Hartness has more.

The weather is heating up and the kids are out of school. You know what that means. Outdoor entertaining is number one on the to-do list. But just because you're dining al fresco doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style.
No Rules!
There's no rulebook that mandates that pretty plates, serving dishes and centerpieces must be replaced with boring white paper plates and plastic cups. In fact, dining outside can actually be even more inviting and enchanting than eating indoors. Who doesn't love the sound of crickets chirping and a gentle breeze on a warm summer's eve. Outdoors is the place to be in the summertime.
Need a little inspiration to set your summer table? Check out even more of our tips to create an inviting outdoor table for your next summer gathering.
Select an Eye-catching Tablecloth or Placemats
Dress up your table with an attractive tablecloth or placemats that compliment your tableware. Summer colors tend to be bright and fun, but if you are hosting a more elegant affair you may want to opt for whites or more subdued colors to create an ambiance of elegance.
If you're in the market for new table linens, browse our large selection of placemats and coasters available in an extensive variety of sizes and colors from ruby red, orange and cobalt blue to ecru, olive and platinum.
Set the Mood with Lighting
The beauty of dining outdoors is being able to enjoy the view and picturesque beauty of the sun, moon and stars, depending on whether you're lunching or enjoying dinner. In addition to the natural light, candles are the perfect accompaniment to brighten up your dining table.
Tea lights are a simple and inexpensive way to add candlelight to your outdoor table. Don't skimp on the "light." When it comes to candles, less isn't necessarily more. Tiki torches and white twinkle lights are also a nice accompaniment to outdoor table settings.
Forget the Paper Plates and Plastic Forks and Bring Out the "Good" Dishes and Serving Ware
Dining outdoors doesn't mean you sacrifice beauty and style for disposable tableware. Why not bring out the good dishes or even the China to create an unforgettable, outdoor table setting that is certain to impress your guests.
If you're dining with children or still prefer to use tableware that you don't have to worry about getting broken, our wooden plates, and serving dishes and bowls made from Acacia are the perfect choices. Durable, yet still exquisitely beautiful, tableware made from renewable Acacia is the perfect choice when setting an outdoor table for a Summertime gathering.
Craft a Summertime Centerpiece
No table is complete without a beautiful centerpiece. Fragrant fresh flowers or baskets filled with summertime fruits like lemons, limes and berries will dress up any table. Get creative though. If you're hosting a themed event, tailor your centerpiece accordingly. Scatter rose petals across the table for a more elegant or romantic table. For a beach-themed table, make use of seashells, starfish and even sand. The possibilities are endless.
Outdoor dining is a hallmark of the summer season. Whether it's the Fourth of July or a Sunday family dinner, setting a beautiful and inviting dining table is sure to enhance your mealtime. And with these simple guidelines to creating the perfect outdoor table setting, you are well on your way to having your own memorable, outdoor dining experience.

THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT The first is a standard forward-clicky switch tailcap which allows momentary operation with light pressure on the tailcap button and "clicks" (latches) when pressed firmly. Activation unleashes the full 235 lumens of the Malkoff LED Module in the Elzetta ZFL-M60. The second new tailcap features a High/Low switch in addition to "clicky" functionality. When the tailcap is rotated fully clockwise (tightened), the Elzetta ZFL-M60 produces its full 235 lumens out the front. When rotated counter-clockwise (anywhere between 1/8 and 1/2 revolution), output is reduced to approximately 15 lumens - perfect for navigation. On/off is controlled by the click-switch button. This system is very intuitive, robust, and easy to use. Both of these new tailcaps are available on complete Elzetta ZFL-M60 Tactical Lights or individually as spare parts/upgrades. Available now at www.ELZETTA.com and at Elzetta Dealers around the world. Like everything Elzetta sells, ZFL-M60 Tactical Lights are Made in the USA and built to last! Satisfaction guaranteed. Although the photo below shows the ZFL-M60 mounted in an Elzetta ZORM Flashlight Mount, the ZFL-M60 works equally well as a hand-held Light. www.ELZETTA.com |

NBA Sunday: Who Are This Draft's Sleepers?
Posted By Joel Brigham On June 17, 2012 @ 9:42 am In All,Main Page,NBA Draft | No Comments
Checking Out This Draft's Potential Sleeper Picks
Because of March Madness, there are a number of players every year that we come into the draft already knowing everything about. The army of NBA prospects pouring forth from Kentucky and North Carolina, for example, are no mystery to even casual pro hoops fans. Same goes for Jared Sullinger and Thomas Robinson, and probably the kids from Baylor (Quincy Miller and Perry Jones), UConn (Andre Drummond and Jeremy Lamb), and Syracuse (Dion Waiters and Fab Melo). We've watched these guys play on national television several times, so we know what they're all about.
Outside of these power schools from these power conferences, however, are a number of young men with plenty of NBA talent but not a lot of publicity. Plenty of big-name talent has come from lesser known and less successful schools in the past, and this year will be no different. Here's a look at some of the more talented kids you may have never heard of:
Damian Lillard, PG, Weber State – His name might not be as recognizable as Kentucky's Marquis Teague or UNC's Kendall Marshall, but Damian Lillard will be the first point guard selected on June 28th. That's because he's got exactly the same kind of game that has made players like Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose so successful. He's not quite as big as those guys at 6'2", but he is extremely athletic, shoots the ball very well, and loves to attack the basket. Lillard is one of the better scorers in this draft, and adding that to the fact that there is a serious dearth of point guards in this class means Lillard is practically guaranteed to be a top-10 pick. He could go as high to Portland at #6, but it's hard to see him slipping past New Orleans at #10. Toronto is reportedly considering a point guard at #8, as well.
Arnett Moultrie, PF, Mississippi State – Every time I do a mock draft, I find myself thinking what an ideal fit Moultrie would be with the Boston Celtics, but I've been told by a couple of different really smart people that it's doubtful he falls all the way to #21. While Mississippi State did see the Top 25 at times earlier in the NCAA season, they also weren't exactly a Cinderella team in the tournament, so Moultrie has gone largely unnoticed by fans in what proved to be a very good season for the UTEP transfer. He didn't play at all last season because of the move, but at his new school he's been a force. At 6'11" he's got some of the best size in the draft, and he's also incredibly athletic and effective in a number of different offensive situations. He's also one of the best free-throw shooters in the draft, an oddity considering how big he is, and he's both an excellent offensive rebounder and a terrific alley-ooper. I've been told his floor is #19 to the Orlando Magic, who could certainly use some depth at the 4/5 spots moving forward.
Moe Harkless, SF, St. John's – While some of last year's college freshmen will contribute to their new teams immediately, Harkless is probably considered more of a long-term project. He's got a terrific NBA frame and loads of talent, but he's still a very raw prospect and has some work to do on his shot and in the weight room before he's really be an everyday NBA player. Despite all that, this kid has proven he's got a knack for scoring the ball, and teams at the end of the lottery through the end of the teens will be very interested in snatching this kid up and prepping him for the bigs. Philadelphia, for example, is one such interested party at #15, though he is by no means a lock to end up there.
Andrew Nicholson, PF, St. Bonaventure – Nicholson is the kind of player teams trade up for, and with several teams picking in the 20s reportedly very interested in the young man, that's a real possibility. What has teams looking to steal this kid away, though? Put as simply as possible, he's got one of the most impressive arrays of post moves of any player in the draft. He's also developed a respectable offensive game away from the block, which has many scouts drooling over Nicholson's potential. He carried a lot of the load for St. Bonaventure last season, and there are several NBA teams hoping he can be equally productive when asked to work those talents into a more well-balanced offense.
Royce White, PF, Iowa State – While most of us know Royce White at this point as "The Guy Who's Scared to Fly," it should be noted that had things gone differently he might have been a Kentucky Wildcat. That was almost the school to which he transferred after early problems at Minnesota, but anxiety and a certain string of events ended him up at Iowa State, where he still managed to show NBA scouts how good he is. For starters, White is huge. He's 6'8" and 260 pounds of pure muscle, but he also moves well and is extremely versatile offensively. Despite the fact that this is a young man who has issues flying, he's still projected as a late first-rounder. That should give you a sense of how good he is.
Orlando Johnson, SG, UC Santa Barbara – Mid-major players don't typically get a whole lot of love in the first round of the draft, but Johnson is generally considered the best shooter of that group of schools, and his polished overall offensive game has put him on the map for a lot of NBA teams picking at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round. That's where this senior is expected to end up, and with his ability to score the ball, there's a chance he could be one of those came-out-of-nowhere kids that occasionally spills forth from that area of the draft.
Evan Fournier, SF, France – It's widely believed at this point that Fournier will be the only international prospect taken in the first round of this year's draft, which just goes to show how far we've come since the days when overseas players were all the rage. It's not often you see a 19-year-old handle professional European competition as well as Fournier has, and the amount of growth he showed from 18 to 19 got a lot of scouts curious about how much he'll continue to develop once he gets to the NBA. He's got solid NBA size and guard ball-handling skills in a small forward's body. He can score, and he's going to get better, which is why he'll be the only European kid taken in the first round this year.
There are more, of course, most of whom are headed for the second round, and unless you're an expert or at least a die-hard NCAA fan, there's no way for you to know the ins and outs of every single player in this draft. The guys listed above, however, all have very good opportunities to be first-rounders, and after reading this you at least know who they are. They might not have gone to schools with massive TV audiences, but they do have massive talent. Pretty soon, they'll have the opportunity to prove it in the NBA.
Jeff Green The Second-Best Unrestricted Free Agent?
This feels like a distant memory, but it was only about six months ago when Jeff Green found out about a heart condition that would keep him from playing this entire season. It was only about five months ago that he received the surgery that repaired the aneurysm, but now Green's agent, David Falk, is saying his client is at 100% and ready to enter the offseason as a highly-coveted unrestricted free agent.
"With the possible exception of (Brooklyn point guard) Deron Williams, I think that Jeff will probably be the No. 1 unrestricted free agent on the market," Falk told SI's Sam Amick. "It's not like we have LeBron (James) and (Dwyane) Wade and all these guys floating around.4
"I'd be very surprised if Deron Williams winds up anywhere besides Dallas or New Jersey (Brooklyn). So the next guy in the pecking order is Jeff Green."
The way things fell apart with the Celtics was truly unfortunate, but if Green truly is healthy Falk is right that he'll be one of the more highly-coveted players on the market this summer. While players like Eric Gordon, O.J. Mayo, Roy Hibbert, and JaVale McGee are likely to generate more interest than Green, those guys are all restricted. The unrestricted pool is filled with older players. Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Tim Duncan, and Gerald Wallace are the other top names on that list. Big names, but not young enough to warrant big interest for a long-term contract.
Back in December, Green had a $9 million qualifying offer from the Celtics, which they understandably withdrew when that heart issue surfaced. Now, Green enters a market in which cap space is as available as it's been in years and promising young power forwards aren't exactly spilling forth like water from a faucet.
His suitors should start with Boston, who might be losing Kevin Garnett to retirement and Brandon Bass to free agency. They look like as ideal a suitor as Green could have, and that's a place he'd love to return to.
"I know that (the Celtics) want Jeff to come back, from (general manager) Danny (Ainge) to the owners to Doc and to his teammates," Falk said. "He loves Boston. We're waiting to see what happens with KG, what happens with Ray…There are other teams that could be very, very interesting to him around the league that will also have cap room."
Those teams could include Brooklyn, Charlotte, and Sacramento—three rebuilding teams that have holes at one or both forward positions next year. The Nets might not bring back Kris Humphries or Gerald Wallace, the Kings need a three and are looking for an athletic four to pair with DeMarcus Cousins, and the Bobcats need help pretty much everywhere. All three organizations have plenty of cap space, as well as the need for Green. They (as well as Boston) are likely to come calling, but so are several other interested teams.
Wherever he ends up, know that he'll be glad just to be playing basketball again. It hasn't been an easy six months for this kid, and whatever contract he gets, he'll deserve, if for no other reason than pain and suffering.
"He had something that he loves almost taken away from him. I truly believe that — more than any pep talk from (his former Georgetown) coach (John) Thompson or from (Celtics coach) Doc Rivers, I think that the experience will give him a much greater sense of urgency on the court. I think he'll be better than ever, because I think he'll be much more focused on getting the job done," Falk said.
Hopefully that's the case, and hopefully this offseason's free agency period is kinder to Green than last offseason's was.

By Jaclyn Shambaugh Staff writer
NEW BERN - Late in the third quarter of Scotland's game at New Bern on Friday night, the Scots had a disjointed moment in which kicker Ben Utter's punt was inadvertently blocked by a member of his own punt protection.
"We blocked it ourselves," coach Richard Bailey said. "I don't know how that happened. We just couldn't get out of our own way tonight."
With dreadful play littering the Scots' night, the defending 4-A state champions fell prey to the Bears in the Eastern Regional final, losing 23-6 to end their season.
The Bears (14-0) exacted revenge for last year's 61-28 regional loss suffered at the hands of the Scots in Laurinburg. New Bern will meet 2011 state runner-up Porter Ridge (13-1) for the 4-A title Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at UNC's Kenan Stadium.
The Scots lost three fumbles - two deep in Bear territory - in Friday's loss, the most crucial coming in the opening minute of the fourth quarter.
Trailing 16-6, the Scots ended the third with a dazzling 57-yard run by Jalen McLean to gain first-and-10 at the Bear 26. A second run by McLean and an illegal substitution by New Bern gave the Scots first-and-5 at the New Bern 8.
Quarterback Jaylend Ratliffe opted to hand the ball off on the next play to rusher Josh McPhatter, who surged through the defensive line before the ball was stripped, giving the Bears possession at the 2.
A New Bern 98-yard scoring drive followed, putting the game out of reach at 23-6 with 4:31 left to play.
That cross-field run helped make McLean the night's leading rusher with 142 yards on 13 carries.
New Bern had plenty of big plays of its own.
Quarterback Josh Taylor, a dynamic senior who's passed for over 2,300 yards and rushed for 1,200 more, broke out twice to score on runs of 53 yards and 34 yards to give the Bears their first two touchdowns of the night.
Taylor finished with 120 yards on 15 carries. He completed five of 16 passing attempts for 133 yards.
The loss ends a successful first season in Scotland for Bailey, who joined the Scots in the offseason after spending a decade at Jack Britt.
Bailey said in a pregame interview this week that he didn't think the Scots would make it to the Eastern Regional final this season after losing 38 seniors from last year's state championship team.
"These two seasons have been the most successful period in program history at Scotland," the coach said. "That's something that I've challenged these guys with, to not just be a flash in the pan. And that's something we're going to continue."
