The folks over @OTsunwear are providing some much needed sunwear for footgolfers around the world. For those of us who aren't suffering in a winter wonderland, it's time to get out and play.
You gotta love the resourcefulness of these fellas in Slovenia. This takes goalie training to a whole new level. Actually, this could be a new version of buns up. Just make sure you're not on the losing side.
Apparently, the ugly Christmas sweater tradition is popular with the boys at Arsenal FC.
Damn. Nike and Wieden+Kennedy are a force to be reckoned with. The latest TV spot featuring Wayne Rooney and Rory McIlroy promoting the new Nike Ordem Football is pure class! Hats off to whoever was part of the team that created this. More importantly the timing between this ad and our posting of FootGolf is perfect. If you haven't played FootGolf yet you better get after it.
Dope little vid by los muchachos over @GoPro . It was NTMG. city up in there. Great skills by the man behind the cam and love to see people enjoying what they do and where the work. Props!!
The peeps over at nikefootball gearing up for the World Cup. Brazilians play with so much swag it's sick.
Sadly, I'm a little late to the game on this one but @FootGolfUSA might be the coolest thing I've seen in a minute aside from @tocafootball. Grab your homies, a 30 pack, a few size 5's and book your tee time. Get after it and send us your pics to firstname.lastname@example.com.

04 rear end into 98
Will a rear end out of a 04 2wd bolt right in to a 98 4x4? They are both the same gear ratio, but the 04 rear end has G80 and my 98 does not. Which is the reason I want to do the swap.
10-31-2011, 11:00 PM #2a 2wd axle is wider normally than the 4x4 axle (van axles are the widest btw)but you are also throwing in the mix a different body style, as long as the spring perches are in the same spot and it has the same pinion yoke it will physically bolt in but may be wider than your current axle.
if the 04 is disk brake then you may have another issue
personally i would stay away from any g80 governor bomb unit as they were the worst thing gm ever put in a axle, there is a reason why junk yards get a premium for those axles, people that blow them up for some reason always think they need another and junk yards know it and charge more for a axle that will eventually blow up againLast edited by outalne94z71; 10-31-2011 at 11:05 PM.

Yes, the 04 axle has disk brakes. Do you know any cheap way to put a locking rear diff in?
11-01-2011, 09:30 PM #4personally i would use a 6 lug 14 bolt and use something like a auburn posi or even a standard eaton posi but not the g80 unit which is also made by eaton

11-06-2011, 07:08 PM #6similar to a detroit locker, its not as forgiving as a clutch style posi so you will see more tire wear, i have heard of failures when used with tires larger than stock, not sure what kind of failure rate there really is

The biggest one-day gain in natural gas futures in years sent the energy sector for a ride on Thursday, as it appears gas is being consumed faster than was previously forecast. This is welcome news across the board (Wall Street, not Main Street) for energy stocks from the likes of margin-squeezed gas producers like Chesapeake (CHK) to price-undercut competitors like Powder River Basin coal producer Arch Coal (ACI).
The coal sector remained flat on the canvas Thursday, but the gas producers took off with "agasto" (thank you) and registered huge one-day gains. Gaining more than 5% were Cabot Oil & Gas (COG), Petroquest Energy (PQ), Goodrich Petroleum (GDP), Ultra Petroleum (UPL), and Rex Energy (REXX). (Source: Google Finance.)
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. | COG | Price $35.04 | +2.78 (8.62%) | |
Petroquest Energy Inc | PQ | Price $4.82 | +0.32 (7.11%) | |
Goodrich Petroleum Corp. | GDP | Price $13.47 | +0.83 (6.57%) | |
Ultra Petroleum Corp. | UPL | Price $18.96 | +1.08 (6.04%) | |
Rex Energy Corporation | REXX | Price $10.27 | +0.57 (5.88%) |
Cabot closed above $35 for the first time in June, so its stock had a nice bump. With options expiring tomorrow however, used-to-be out-of-the-money $35 June 16 Calls that sold for 6 cents a pop yesterday are now in-the-money and going for, wait for it, 55 cents - a cool 816% one day gain.
This is the kind of thing you get right before options expire, 8% gains turn into 800% on left-for-dead options. Best not to try and game this sort of thing, but cheers to whomsoever did.

Published: 11/7/2012 1:13 AM | Last update: 11/9/2012 10:53 AM Don't be fooled by Sterling's record; Meade isn'tAfter digging an 0-4 hole to start season, imposing Black Bears have rolled.Matt Hendricks never panicked - even if conventional wisdom dictated that four straight losses to start the season were justifiable grounds for panic.But Hendricks just urged his Sterling High team to stay the course with the promise that things would get better.
He was right. The Black Bears shook off their 0-4 start, which included a pair of one-point setbacks and a loss to Hillsboro, which ran the table to win the Central Kansas League crown, to win four of their last six games. They now find themselves playing host to Meade on Friday in a Kansas Class 2A quarterfinal game. It's about as unexpected a story as there has been this fall, but there's no denying it: The Black Bears, ever with a 4-6 record, truly belong. "You watch Sterling play and they definitely pass the eye test," said Meade coach Scott Moshier, who knows a thing or two about high-quality football. Meade won a state championship two seasons ago and was knocked out in the semifinals last year after completing a perfect regular season. This year, the Buffaloes have just one loss heading into the Friday, but Moshier isn't looking past Sterling - losing record and all. "They are intimidating to watch," Moshier said. "They are huge - big and strong and intimidating. We're going to have to play well to beat Sterling." Sterling made a statement last week in the opening round of the playoffs by spotting Smith Center a 16-0 lead and then putting together a perfect second half to record a 26-16 victory over one of the state's legacy programs. Close losses in the last month of the season to top-ranked LaCrosse and a one-loss Stanton County squad had made the Black Bears confident, but it didn't show much spark early on. "We didn't play very physically at all in the first half," Hendricks said. "That was disappointing because we really felt like we were ready to play in a game like that." All it took was an amazing effort from quarterback Riley Galyons to turn the tide. Gaylons carried 48 times for 277 yards as Sterling took charge in the second half by out gaining Smith Center 270-20 in yardage. "We just started making tackles," Hendricks said. "That was a good win for us to get. Going on the road and coming back from 16 points down definitely built our confidence." The Black Bears have plenty to like about their chances this week. Senior Austin Maxwell, at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, is a presence. He is in on a lot of tackles and came up big in the second half last week. In Galyons, they have a kid who has been dominant on both sides of the football. He leads Sterling in most offensive categories and is also the team's leading tackler. "He gives you everything he has emotionally and physically and is always there again on the next play," Hendricks said. Meanwhile, he is aided by a big and physical offensive line that has improved with each week. Center Hunter Hewitt tips the scales at 288 pounds, while Calvin Jones (240), Tanner Stallings (230) and Jed Dierksen (250) also add to the line's girth.
"We haven't seen a lot of lines that big," Moshier said.

"West Hawaii's shores could soon be the first in the state to become off limits to scuba spearfishing.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources is proposing banning the practice as well as placing additional regulations on aquarium collectors to help sustain the area's reef fish populations.
The rules would only apply to the West Hawaii Fishery Management Area, which covers 147 miles of shoreline from South Point to 'Upolu Point in North Kohala."

was gonna say they look like oscars and they'd go the cat ;)
Oscars are mean fish lol. Only fish that survived when we got 2 one year was the upside down catfish, who never came out from under the rock, and one of the oscars.
yeah ive been thinkn about getting a couple myself.. except i still have some very good looking Cichlids in my tank and im sure they wouldnt survive and ive had some loaches for about 5 years and they are starting to get fairly big aswell
my 6 year old pleco would survive fairly well he's massive
From what I get, they are expensive too. In part, at least around here.
my old LFS has oscars for $15 about 4cm but they grow really fast im told
Cichlids will survive. They're too damn fast. I had about 30 Cichlids living in my 125 gallon tank with 3 turtles for a long time.
Was gonna say they look like oscars and they'd go the cat.WTF does 'go the cat mean?! I can't Grammar Nazi that!
Just so Laither has peace of mind, kindly put a "for" between 'go' and 'the'.
Thank you.
Sif? What're you doing which Thor's childhood friend?
I have seen cats do this so many times now and still laugh every time. I don't know why, I find it hilarious.
I think it's because cats always look so god damn serious. So when they mess up or somethin' happens to them, it's that much more funny.
We used to fight Oscars and Jack Dempsey's in my friends 150 gallon tank and place bets when we were kids. I won a Micheal Jackson Thriller jacket once! My childhood was AWESOME!!!!
That's dreadful!
And yet I can't stop laughing.
Awyeah! Payback time!

In this action thriller, the only things standing in the way of world destruction are two guys in an ice cream truck. On a remote island in the South Pacific, a secret weapons project (code name "Elvis") goes wrong, and a new chemical weapon, safe when frozen but deadly when thawed, is allowed to escape. Eighteen soldiers are killed, leaving behind only the scientist who created the formula and the officer in charge of the project, who is saddled with most of the blame. Ten years later, Tim Mason (Skeet Ulrich) is working at a diner in Montana when an old friend, Dr. Richard Long (David Paymer), is seriously wounded by Maj. Andrew Brynner (Peter Firth). It seems that Dr. Long helped create Elvis and Maj. Brynner was the officer who took the fall for the disaster ten years ago. Near death, Long gives Elvis to Mason and tells him that it has to be kept solidly frozen and delivered to Fort Magruder, 90 miles away. But how to keep it at zero degrees until then? A logical solution presents itself when Arlo (Cuba Gooding Jr.), who drives an ice cream truck, makes a delivery to the diner. Mason drafts Arlo into helping him transport Elvis to safety, and before long Brynner's men are hot on the trail of the icy chemical weapon. First-time director Hugh Johnson learned his craft in part through his work as a cameraman for Ridley Scott: he was the cinematographer for White Squall and G.I. Jane. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Funnyman Robin Williams steps out of character in this tense, low-key thriller that marked the feature-film directorial debut of music video veteran Mark Romanek. Semour "Sy" Parrish (Williams) runs the photo processing department at a large discount store; Sy is dedicated to his job, and takes great pride in his work. Sy's favorite customers are Nina and Will Yorkin (Connie Nielsen and Michael Vartan), an attractive and cheerful young couple with a nine-year-old boy, Jake (Dylan Smith). Sy dotes on the Yorkins and their son whenever they drop off film to be processed -- something they've been doing quite often ever since Jake was born -- and Nina and Will are indulgent of Sy's attentions, regarding his as a harmless eccentric. What the Yorkins don't know is Sy is a desperately lonely man with no real life of his own, and he's been obsessively making copies of their photos, for years, imagining himself to be "Uncle Sy," a member of the family. Sy's tenuous hold on reality begins to collapse when he develops a roll of film brought in by a new customer that suggests Will has been unfaithful to Nina; the notion that his ideal family may be falling apart is troubling enough for Sy, and when he loses his job, Sy reaches the breaking point. One Hour Photo was screened in competition at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Taking his cue from such 1970s horror classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and The Hills Have Eyes (1977), animated rocker Rob Zombie goes celluloid with the throwback shocker House of 1000 Corpses. Running low on gas as they travel the highways of America in search of the ultimate roadside attraction, a group of teens pull into Captain Spaulding's (Sid Haig) museum of oddities (which also offers fried chicken and gasoline) only to become obsessed with uncovering the mystery of a legendary local maniac known only as Dr. Satan. When an attractive and mysterious hitchhiker subsequently offers to give the thrill seekers a personal tour of Dr. Satan's old stabbing grounds, a breakdown forces them to take refuge with a group of menacing oddballs as a fearsome storm rages outside. As the evening progresses and the backwoods hosts' Halloween festivities become ever more threatening, the teens soon realize that the legend of Dr. Satan may hold a bit more contemporary weight than any of them had previously thought. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The opening season of American television's first lesbian comedy drama series, The L Word, finds longtime partners Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman) deciding to start a family -- and since it is out of the question for the domineering Bette to be weighed down with the burden of pregnancy, it is up to "happy housewife" Tina to be artificially inseminated. Meanwhile, the couple's next-door neighbor, Tim (Eric Mabius), has invited his fiancée, Jenny (Mia Kirshner), an aspiring writer, to live with him. Fascinated by Bette and Tina's circle of gay friends, Jenny begins seriously questioning her own sexual orientation. Elsewhere, the eternally wisecracking Alice (Leisha Hailey) disappoints her friends by entering into yet another dead-end romance. Tennis pro Dana (Erin Daniels) continues to put off telling her parents that she's a lesbian. And promiscuous hairdresser Shane (Katherine Moennig) continues to leave a trail of broken hearts as she woos women everywhere and beds some of her more vulnerable female customers. By the end of the first season, Jenny has had her first lesbian affair with Marina (Karina Lombard), whereupon Tim kicks her out of the house -- and worse, Marina has not informed Jenny that she already has a lover. And, in the emotional aftermath of Tina's miscarriage, Bette succumbs to the temptation of cheating on her with another woman. ~ Rovi

Season two of Showtime's lesbian-oriented seriocomedy series The L Word finds the formerly blissful relationship between control-freak Bette (Jennifer Beals) and supplicative Tina (Laurel Holloman) on hiatus due to Bette's infidelity, with Tina hiding the fact that she is once again pregnant. Having come out of the closet, Jenny (Mia Kirshner) splits with her husband, Tim (Eric Mabius). Wisecracking Alice (Leisha Hailey) and hyper-defensive Dana (Erin Daniels), who is engaged to her new manager, Tonya (Meredith McGeachie), try to hide their affair from their tongue-clucking friends. And the footloose Shane (Katherine Moennig) avoids getting serious with seductive deejay Carmen (Sarah Shahi), despite secretly harboring feelings for her. In other developments, Bette's straight half sister, Kit (Pam Grier), opens up her own nightclub, The Planet, and urges Bette to mend fences with their father, Melvin (Emmy nominee Ossie Davis), who is dying. Tina, who is disenchanted with Bette, nonetheless enters into a relationship with another domineering woman, Helena (Rachel Shelley), the daughter of influential philanthropist Peggy Peabody (Holland Taylor) and a professional rival of Bette. Jenny begins to date Carmen, thereby unintentionally cultivating Shane's jealousy. And a number of surprises are in store for certain of the characters as the 2005 Gay Pride Festival. The season ends with a funeral, Tina's painful labor throes, and various piquant moments of truth for Bette, Jenny, and Alice. ~ Rovi

George Falconer (Colin Firth) feels lost. Not only is he still grieving the death of his longtime companion, Jim (Matthew Goode), but he's also a Brit teaching English at a California college. He's so distraught with heartbreak that he's decided to kill himself, and proceeds to get all his affairs in order while carrying on with what otherwise would be a normal day. He gives an unusually forceful lecture to his class, revealing enough that a perceptive student, Kenny (Nicholas Hoult), senses something is wrong with the professor; collects his important financial papers from his bank; buys bullets for a handgun he owns; and makes a visit to his best friend (Julianne Moore). But throughout these methodical preparations, George keeps running into people -- a colleague's daughter, a attractive gay hustler, and the sympathetic Kenny -- who offer him glimpses of why he should stay alive. A Single Man is the directorial debut of legendary fashion designer Tom Ford. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Released from prison after serving 22 years for drug smuggling, repentant ex-con Frank Connor (Kenny Johnson) is forced back into a life of crime by his sinister former boss (Brad Dourif) - the powerful owner of a popular inner-city club. Back when Frank got busted, his refusal to talk earned him a stiff prison sentence. More than two decades later, Frank is back on the street, and determined to turn his life around. At first things are looking good; Frank's old partners in crime manage to find him a legitimate job, and he even meets a girl who isn't put off by his shady past. But when Frank's former boss gives him an offer he can't refuse, any thoughts of starting a new life quickly disappear. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Max-Viz Inc. recently shipped its 250th helicopter forward-looking infrared Enhanced Vision System. The company's real-time Enhanced Vision System greatly improves flight safety and situational awareness. "This important milestone demonstrates our continuing commitment to the rotary-wing community," said Max-Viz Vice President Business Development Lou Churchville. "Max-Viz knows helicopters. We have experienced and tenured helicopter pilots on staff who understand the unique challenges and missions flown by helicopter pilots."
Max-Viz Enhanced Vision System helps pilots see better at night, in bad weather and through smog, smoke, haze and light fog. Emergency medical, military, Coast Guard and fire-attack aircraft using Max-Viz's system experience higher mission completion rates and greater safety, avoiding traffic, obstructions and inadvertent instrument meteorological conditions.
"Our air ambulance flight crews are reporting that not only can they see terrain features and manmade structures at night, but they are seeing fog and cloud formations and concentrations of precipitation during the day, thus enabling them to pick safer routes ahead," said Brendan McCormick, chief pilot of rotary-wing for Helijet, based at Vancouver International Airport in Canada. Helijet operates the Sikorsky S76C+ in air ambulance configuration, equipped the Max-Viz EVS-1500.
"Helicopter shipments of the Max-Viz Enhanced Vision System increased by 35 percent in 2011, and the company anticipates as much as 50 percent growth in 2012 as the systems are becoming more popular with a wider group of rotary-wing users," Churchville said. Revenue charter and standard corporate transport operations report increased on-time departures and a smoother ride for clients based on the ability to see and avoid weather systems and clouds.

Kraków has always been, in many respects, a charmed city. Krakow is Polands prime tourist attraction, a must with few equals in the entire Central and Eastern Europe. The place has been settled since the Stone Age at least. In 1038 Krakow became the capital of Poland and Polish monarchs took up their residence in its Wawel Royal Castle. The Old Town historical district in Krakows heart is actually the medieval city established in 1257 by Prince Boleslav V, the ruler of Poland at the time. Its well preserved original

For the third straight year, Seoul has ranked fifth in the world for number of international conferences hosted.
Its airport is the busiest in Asia.
Hotels are bursting to capacity.
An increasing number of business travelers is arriving each month to South Korea's capital, many not knowing what to expect.
Despite the cutting-edge technology the city is known for these days, there remain challenges for a first-timer in Seoul.
Here's help.
1. Traveling from the airport/around the city takes lots of time
Seoul is vast -- far greater than many expect.
As the largest proper city in the developed world, it's approximately 10 times the size of Manhattan, and much more crowded.
What this means for the time-sensitive business traveler is that a lot of buffer time should be factored in -- about 30 minutes, to be safe -- for getting to and from meetings, especially if they involve crossing the Han River.
From Incheon International Airport, the express train (? 8,000 or $7) runs every 30 minutes and will drop you off at Seoul Station, north of the river, near the Myeongdong business hub. Not a lot of travelers seem to know about this for some reason, and trains are usually quite empty.
Airport limousine buses (? 10,000-?15,000 or $9-$14) are another convenient way to get to most any destination from the airport.
Staffers at the airport's bus counter are helpful if you tell them where you need to go.
Cabs cost around ?50,000 or $48 to get into the heart of Gangnam (south of the river) or Gangbuk (north of the river).
During morning and evening rush hours, it's best to take the train.
2. The language barrier can throw you
The language barrier is particularly frustrating when it comes to addresses and directions.
Unlike the United States (or most other countries), Korea historically numbered buildings based on the date they were built in each district, not by location.
This means buildings next to each other can have completely different address numbers. (An initiative to change addresses is ongoing.)
The best way to get around is to have the address written or printed out in Korean to show to taxi drivers who can then input the address in their GPS system.
Stay strong while they grumble, and insist they put it in.
When completely lost, call +82 2 120, the city's help center, which has various language assistance options including English, Japanese and Chinese.
3. Hotel bookings should be based on location
Due to transit times (up to 90 minutes to two hours to cross the city during rush hour) it's best to choose your hotel based on your meeting locations.

A Fayetteville businessman wants the city's permission to operate a helicopter landing pad behind Highland Centre on Raeford Road.
Ron Matthews, owner of Family Foods Inc., has filed an application for a special-use permit to allow the helipad on a 2.2-acre lot at the corner of Winding Creek Road and Brigadoon Lane.
The vacant property is owned by Cumberland County across from Max Abbott Middle School. The county has sought for many years to find a buyer for the property, which is adjacent to the county mental health agency.
According to city officials, Matthews has approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to use the site as a helipad.
"The landing site will be seldom used," according to the application.
Matthews could not be reached for comment Monday.
Family Foods owns Taco Bell franchises in North Carolina and other states.
In February, the Cumberland County commissioners agreed to lease for $6,000 a year the site to Family Air, a limited-liability corporation operated by Matthews. The county lease is subject to him getting city permission to operate the helipad.
The Fayetteville Zoning Commission is scheduled to hear the case next month.

WWE is on the cusp of making some major money in television rights deals and that could mean big changes to its programming.
The ratings are in for last night's (Nov. 25, 2013) episode of "Monday Night Raw" and the fallout from "Survivor Series" attracted enough of an audience to raise the numbers from weeks prior. There was still a troubling trend, however.
Like the title says, WWE will bring back the Slammy Awards on Dec. 9, 2013, at the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington, during a live episode of Monday Night Raw on USA.
This is it. The game you wait four years to see. USA, Mexico from Columbus, Ohio.
Big E Langston headed for a face turn, possible feuds for him, first planned feud for Los Matadores announced, WWE television updates, and more!
The United States night in Costa Rica started off poorly with a pregame injury to Michael Bradley. It didn't get any better, as the Ticos handed the USA their second loss in The Hex.
Former Revolution defender Michael Parkhurst is back with the USMNT, replacing injured Seattle Sounders M/D Brad Evans on the roster for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Brie Bella had herself a good old fashioned wardrobe malfunction on last night's (July 22, 2013) episode of "Monday Night Raw" in Austin, Texas, and after being alerted to as much, she took to Twitter to apologize.
The USA looks to close out Group C undefeated. But standing in their way are the revenge-driven Ticos of Costa Rica.
TBM crack research staff wraps up it's informative series leading into the Group C opener, including Belize's American coach, Costa Rica's quest for revenge and the mystery that is Cuba. Oh, and some fourth team...

Exploring Orcas Island
Step onto horseshoe-shaped Orcas Island, drop your suitcase or backpack, and drink in the green paradise the locals call "the emerald isle" and "the gem of the San Juans" -- a happy combination of stunning shoreline, the highest mountain in the islands, and a handful of charming hamlets.
Outdoor Pleasures
Most of Orcas Island's 57 square miles are rural and hilly, a challenge for cyclists and a pleasure for drivers, with curving roads that wind through forests and past artists' studios, fields with old apple barns, and the occasional turn-of-the-century prune dryer.
Visit one of the nation's most beautiful parks to hike, bike, swim, or explore—the 5,252-acre Moran State Park, with several lakes and more than 38 miles of hiking trails. There, you can drive, bike, or hike up Mount Constitution, the islands' highest point, for a spectacular view of island-dotted sea and snow-capped Mount Baker.
Head out on the water on a kayak trip (guided or alone), whale-watching tour, or fishing or sailboat charter. You can book any of these adventures on the island, as well as rent bikes and check out guided horseback rides.
At the center of Orcas Island, at the top of a beautiful fjord, Eastsound is a walker's village, alive with art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and visitor attractions. Enjoy strolling among historic homes and buildings from the 1880s and picnicking on the village green, summer home of the Saturday Farmers' Market and live music performances. In the heart of town lies the not-to-be-missed Orcas Island Historical Museum, bursting with island artifacts and photos, with six settlers' cabins on the grounds. The Funhouse Commons and Orcas Center are a short walk or drive just north of the village.
Olga, Doe Bay and Deer Harbor
South of Moran State Park, the little hamlet of Olga is famous for its artists' co-op, Orcas Island Artworks, with an extensive selection of pottery, painting, jewelry, art glass, fiber and wood by more than 50 island artists. You'll find it housed in a historic 1936 strawberry packing plant along with the popular Cafe Olga, a charming eatery renowned for its homemade cinnamon rolls and delicious fresh-baked pies.
Past Olga on the water, you'll come upon Doe Bay Resort & Retreat, where you can dine over the water at the Doe Bay Café on mostly organic food, often harvested just hours earlier. A rustic Northwest icon, Doe Bay Resort & Retreat offers lodging, massage, yoga, sea kayaking, hot tubs and relaxing Adirondack chairs overlooking the spectacular water view.
On the other side of the island, at the farthest western point, Deer Harbor is a hub for all things marine -- kayak (and bike) rentals, whale/wildlife tours, sailing excursions, power and sailboat rentals, and Deer Harbor Marina which features the Marina Barge Gift Shop -- along with a wood sculptor's studio, eateries and lodgings.
Art on Orcas Island
Potters, jewelers, painters, photographers, sculptors -- Orcas Island draws artists like salmon draw orcas. Just a few examples (in addition to Orcas Island Artworks co-op in Olga) include Crow Valley Pottery, near the golf course south of Eastsound, features the works of more than 70 artists (there's a gallery in downtown Eastsound, too), as well as Orcas Island Pottery, the oldest pottery in the Northwest, and the Lambiel Museum, a private collection of works by San Juan Islands artists.
Orcas Island Lodging
From waterfront cabin resorts to elegant hillside B&Bs to a wide variety of vacation rentals, Orcas Island lodging can fit any need. With its many parks, shorelines, hamlets, and galleries to explore and its multitude of activities, make sure and plan your visit long enough to enjoy all Orcas Island has to offer.

Reiserfs Experiencing Turbulent Updates
When Jeff Mahoney sent in a bunch of patches for reiserfs, he assumed that the filesystem would be frozen in maintenance mode from that point on. Things turned out differently.
The end of March, SUSE developer Jeff Mahoney had sent 35 patches to the kernel and reiserfs mailing lists. Most of them found their way into openSUSE, but not yet into the kernel. With the patch series, Mahoney wanted to bring kernel 2.6.30 to the current reiserfs state of openSUSE. He ended his thread with, "Once this is applied, I expect reiserfs to be in deep maintenance-only mode."
Shortly thereafter, Linus Torvalds responded that he merged the patches into the kernel. He advised Mahoney to thoroughly double-check the results, because he didn't have any remaining reiserfs partitions. Never to miss a joke, he ended his thread with "Heh, I hadn't expected even this" in response to Mahoney's expectation that reiserfs would go into maintenance mode.
Even though Novell needed to support the filesystem for its Enterprise products a couple more years, that seemed to be the end of the story. But a few days later kernel developer Ingo Molnar chimed in on the thread reporting that Frédéric Weisbecker, in the context of the kill-the-BKL project, was still working on removing big kernel locks (BKLs) from reiserfs. Reiserfs was a filesystem that still relied heavily on BKLs and many developers had been working on removing them as of Kernel 2.6.26. Molnar had created a special "tip:kill the Big Kernel Lock (BKL)" tree for the purpose, and Weisbecker was busily rewriting the reiserfs code to eliminate BKLs from it.
Because Weisbecker's BKL patches would change reiserfs in a fundamental way, they initially sat in a special -git tree and were only to flow into the new kernel after some intensive testing, at least not until Kernel 2.6.30. But Weisbecker's patches would be a boon for many reiserfs users. Not only would the filesystem cease using BKLs, but the locks that reiserfs subsequently needed would be by superblock (by attachment point as a rule) and not across the entire filesystem. It would lead to a performance leap on systems with multiple reiserfs partitions and multicore processors, a typical scenario for reiserfs in a server environment.

Tug of war, also known as tug o' war, tug war, rope war, rope pulling, or tugging war, is a sport that directly pits two teams against each other in a test of strength.
The origins of tug of war are uncertain, but it is beyond dispute that this once royal sport was practiced in ancient Egypt and China, where it was held in legend that the Sun and Moon played Tug of War over the light and darkness. It is also widely believed the sport was made popular in Great Britain by Lord Elliott Simpson, in the 16th Century. Simpson was a keen tugger.[1]
According to a Tang dynasty book, The Notes of Feng, tug of war, under the name "hook pulling"(牵钩), was used by the military commander of the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period (8th century BC to 5th century BC) to train warriors. During the Tang dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang promoted large-scale tug of war games, using ropes of up to 167 meters or (547.9 feet) with shorter ropes attached and more than 500 people on each end of the rope. Each side also had its own team of drummers to encourage the participants.[2]
Archeological evidence shows that tug of war was also popular in India in 12th century AD:
There is no specific time and place in history to define the origin of the game of Tug of War. The contest of pulling on the rope originates from ancient ceremonies and rituals. Evidence is found in countries like Egypt, India, Myanmar, New Guinea... The origin of the game in India has strong archaeological roots going back at least to the 12th century AD in the area what is today the State of Orissa on the east coast. The famous Sun Temple of Konark has a stone relief on the west wing of the structure clearly showing the game of Tug of War in progress.[3]
Tug of war stories about heroic champions from Scandinavia and Germany circulate Western Europe where Viking warriors pull animal skins over open pits of fire in tests of strength and endurance in preparation for battle and plunder.
1500 and 1600 – tug of war is popularised during tournaments in French châteaux gardens and later in Great Britain
1800 – tug of war begins a new tradition among seafaring men who were required to tug on lines to adjust sails while ships were under way and even in battle.[4]
The Mohave Indians occasionally used tug-of-war matches as means of settling disputes.[5]
The Oxford English Dictionary says that the phrase "tug of war" originally meant "the decisive contest; the real struggle or tussle; a severe contest for supremacy". Only in the 19th century was it used as a term for an athletic contest between two teams who haul at the opposite ends of a rope.[6]
Formal rules[edit]
Two teams of eight, whose total mass must not exceed a maximum weight as determined for the class, align themselves at the end of a rope approximately 11 centimetres in circumference. The rope is marked with a "centre line" and two markings four metres either side of the centre line. The teams start with the rope's centre line directly above a line marked on the ground, and once the contest (the "pull") has commenced, attempt to pull the other team such that the marking on the rope closest to their opponent crosses the centre line, or the opponents commit a foul (such as a team member sitting or falling down).
Lowering ones elbow below the knee during a 'pull' - known as 'Locking' - is a foul, as is touching the ground for extended periods of time. The rope must go under the arms; actions such as pulling the rope over the shoulders may be considered a foul. These rules apply in highly organized competitions such as the World Championships. However, in small or informal entertainment competitions, the rules are often arbitrarily interpreted and followed.
A contest may feature a moat in a neutral zone, usually of mud or softened ground, which eliminates players who cross the zone or fall into it.
As a sport[edit]
There are tug of war clubs in many countries, and both men and women participate.
The sport was part of the Olympic Games from 1900 until 1920, but has not been included since. The sport is contested in the World Games. The Tug of War International Federation (TWIF), organises World Championships for nation teams biannually, for both indoor and outdoor contests, and a similar competition for club teams.
In England the sport is catered for by the Tug of War Association (formed in 1958), and the Tug of War Federation of Great Britain (formed in 1984). In Scotland, the Scottish Tug of War Association was formed in 1980. The sport also features in Highland Games there.
Between 1976 and 1988 Tug of War was a regular event during the television series Battle of The Networks Stars. Teams of celebrities representing each major network competed in different sporting events culminating into the final event, the Tug of War. Lou Ferrigno's epic tug-o'-war performance in May 1979 is considered the greatest feat in 'Battle' history.
National organizations[edit]
The sport is played almost in every country in the world. However, a small selection of countries have set up a national body to govern the sport. Most of these national bodies are associated then with the International governing body call TWIF which stands for The Tug of War International Federation. As of 2008 there are 53 countries associated with TWIF, among which are Scotland, Ireland, England, India, Switzerland, Belgium, and the United States.
Risk of Injury[edit]
In addition to injuries from falling and back strains, (some of which may be serious), catastrophic injuries may result in the form of finger, hand or even arm amputations. Amputations or avulsions may result from two causes: looping or wrapping the rope around a hand or wrist, and from the elastic recoil of the broken rope if the rope breaks. Amateur organizers of tugs of war may underestimate the forces generated, or overestimate the breaking strength of common ropes, and may thus be unaware of the possible consequences if a rope parts in peoples' hands under tons of tension.
The broken ends of an elastic polymer such as common nylon reach high speeds and can easily sever fingers. For example, ordinary half-inch (13 mm) nylon rope, one of the heaviest that hardware stores sell, has a safe working load rating of between 500 and 600 pounds (2.2 and 2.7 kN),[citation needed] and a grown man can probably exert a pull of 100 pounds (445 N), which means that it is only safe to use this rope with a limit of five to six men per side.[original research?] For this reason, specially engineered tug of war ropes exist that can withstand the forces generated. Some notable tug of war accidents include:[7]
- Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, June 13, 1978, rope parted, five teenagers lost fingers or fingertips, 200 other injuries.
- Chattanooga, Tennessee, June 9, 1995, a man had his hand torn off (avulsion) by sudden pull (his hand was in a loop).
- Taipei, Taiwan, October 25, 1997, rope parted, two men suffered arm amputations (details below).
- Australia, September, 2002, 11-year-old boy had several fingers cut to the bone and nearly severed.
- Denver, Colorado, October 12, 2007, two teenage boys, rope looped around hands, suffered hand amputations.
- Digby, Nova Scotia, October 25, 2010, rope looped around hand, man lost four fingers.
- El Monte, California, February 4, 2013, rope parted, teenage boy and girl each suffered multi-finger amputations.
- Budapest, Hungary, September 17, 2013, rope parted, seven student injured, three of them severely.
- Columbus, Ohio, September 26, 2013, rope wrapped around hand, two fingers broken
1997 arm severing incident[edit]
On October 25, 1997, Yang Chiung-ming and Chen Ming-kuo each had their left arms severed below the shoulder during a tug-of-war event in Taipei, Taiwan. The event, held at a park along the Keelung River in Taipei in celebration of Retrocession Day (the 52nd anniversary of the end of the Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan), involved over 1,600 participants whose combined strength exerted over 80,000 kilograms (180,000 lb) of force on a 5-centimetre (2.0 in) nylon rope that could only withstand a maximum of 26,000 kilograms (57,000 lb). The rope snapped, and the sheer rebounding force of the broken rope tore off the men's arms. Both men were taken to a nearby hospital where their arms were successfully reattached following several hours of microsurgery.[8][9][10][11][12]

- In the Basque Country this sport is considered a rural sport and is quite popular. In fact, there are lots of associations and clubs. In Basque it is called Sokatira.
- Each Fourth of July, two California towns separated by an ocean channel Stinson Beach, California and Bolinas, California gather to compete in an annual tug-of-war. [13] [14]
- A special edition of The Superstars called "The Superteams" featured a tug-of-war, usually as the final event.
- The Battle of the Network Stars featured a tug-of-war as one of its many events.
- The Peruvian children's series Nubeluz featured its own version of tug-of-war (called "La Fuerza Glufica"), where each team battled 3-on-3 on platforms suspended over a pool of water in an effort to pull the other team into the pool.
- A game of tug-of-war, on tilted platforms, was used on the US, UK and Australian Gladiators series although the game was played with two sole opposing participants.
- In Japan, the tug of war (綱引き in Japanese) is a staple of school sports festivals.
- In Indonesia, called "Tarik Tambang" is a popular sport held in many events, such as Indonesian's Independence Day celebration, school events, and scout events. The rope used is called 'dadung', made from fibers of lar between two jousters. Two cinder blocks are placed a distance apart and the two jousters stand upon the blocks with a rope stretched between them. The objective for each jouster is to either a) cause their opponent to fall off their block, or b) to take their opponent's end of the rope from them.[15]
