The state of Mississippi is thrilled to welcome visitors on Saturday, October 4, as four of the nation's top 12 teams face off in SEC college football. For the first time, both Mississippi teams boast a 4-0 record in the same season.
Here's what you need to know about Saturday's games, and what not to miss during your visit to Starkville or Oxford.
SEC Nation in Starkville
Mississippi State (#12) will play Texas A&M (#6) at 11 am, with coverage beginning at 9 am Central. While you're at Mississippi State, pay a visit to the John Grisham Room – which houses memorabilia from the writings and achievements of the bestselling author – and the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library, one of only thirteen presidential libraries nationwide and five on university campuses.
On Friday, take in a night of live music at the Bulldog Bash, a free concert that takes place in the historic Cotton District and typically draws 35,000 fans. This year's lineup includes Justin Moore and The Dirty Guv'nahs.

Discover Mississippi's History and Heritage
Whether you are a visitor or a resident of the state, Mississippi invites you to immerse yourself ...
Whether you are a visitor or a resident of the state, Mississippi invites you to immerse yourself in our history. Enjoy a truly authentic experience watching a battle reenactment, learning about Native American culture firsthand or listening to oral histories about life during earlier times. It's all here as Mississippians share our rich heritage with the world.
From antebellum homes and Civil War sites at Baldwyn, Brice's Crossroads, Corinth, Columbus, Vicksburg, Natchez and Port Gibson to the Natchez Trace Parkway and its visitors center in Tupelo, you'll find history preserved and celebrated across the entire state. African American heritage is showcased at festivals, museums and attractions throughout Mississippi, including the home of Civil Rights leader Medgar Evers in Jackson and markers for the expanding Mississippi Freedom Trail around the state. The history of the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi dates back to the early 1500s. Today, the Choctaw Indian Reservation covers 35,000 acres of tribal lands in 10 Mississippi counties.
The Civil War
Some of the fiercest and bloodiest battles of the Civil War were fought on Mississippi's soil. Walking through the state's museums and among the Civil War sites and landmarks is the only way to truly capture the essence of that conflict. You can gain a firsthand look at a part of Mississippi's past while also learning more about pivotal battles and the people who took part in them.
Architectural treasures still stand, providing a glimpse of how luxuriously some Mississippians lived in the pre-war era and the opulent lifestyles that came to an end. Among these historical structures are the intricate Longwood, the largest octagonal house in America; Rosalie, where you can witness the grandeur of Mississippi's past through an informative tour by knowledgeable costumed guides; and Beauvoir, Confederate president Jefferson Davis' former home. Other Mississippi museums, historical homes and Civil War sites and landmarks are located throughout the state. Mississippi State University's Library and collection of Ulysses S. Grant, the Vicksburg National Military Park and Corinth Interpretive Center near Shiloh National Military Park are two other must-sees for history buffs.
The year 2014 continues the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, and Mississippi is home to many of the Civil War Sesquicentennial activities and events being planned through 2015. The Civil War Trust lists 39 Mississippi sites on its Civil War Discovery Trail. The website,www.mscivilwar150.com, is an excellent resource for up-to-the-minute details about Civil War-related activities happening around the state.
The Civil Rights Movement
Travelers to Mississippi will be moved by the enduring spirit that conquered so many trials in Mississippi's past. This rich culture of faith, music and food, along with unshakable determination, is tightly woven into and inseparable from the story of Mississippi. One of the best places to capture this intense heritage is at Mississippi's African American cultural center, the Smith Robertson Museum in Jackson. It's an ideal place where you can embrace the heritage of a people who have forever changed the history of Mississippi and the rest of the nation.
With 13 markers to date and more to come this year, the Mississippi Freedom Trail commemorates the bravery and courage of the men and women who fought for freedom and justice and is designed to educate the public about Mississippi's Civil Rights heritage. The Freedom Trail markers in Jackson and other locations around the state represent an evolving complement to other heritage sites, like the Freedom Summer Trail in Hattiesburg, a driving tour of 16 historic sites of Freedom Summer 1964 and the Civil Rights Movement.
Native American Heritage
Another crucial ingredient to Mississippi history is the life of Native Americans. The word "Mississippi" is in fact a Native American word that means "Father of Waters." Rich in plants yielding roots, nuts, berries, and herbs, as well as a plentiful population of deer, bear, buffalo, and fish, Mississippi was a comfortable home to a greater variety of tribes and had a higher Indian population that any other Southern state.
The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians maintains a proud presence in the state. The tribe's casino in Neshoba County mix easily with its heritage. The famous Choctaw baskets, as well as other Choctaw crafts, can be found at the casino shop. Plan a visit in the summer where basket-weaving, the historic game of stick ball and native dance can be enjoyed at the Choctaw Indian Fair or visit historic burial mounds like the Winterville Mounds and Emerald Mound (the second largest ceremonial mound in the U.S.), and other cultural sites year round.
The state's 13 Welcome Centers will also offer a glimpse into Mississippi's cultural heritage through visual displays, costume exhibits and a myriad of resources like maps, tour guides, photographs and brochures to point visitors in the direction of discovery.
The diversity of the state's history and heritage is rich and rewarding no matter where you travel in Mississippi. To begin planning your historical journey across the Mississippi, visit the trip planner tool here or call 1-866-SEE MISS.

Country Roads Magazine
White sand beaches, local art galleries, and fresh-from-the-Gulf seafood…Ocean Springs has them all. Travel writer Tracey Minkin shares why these charms, as well as the "offbeat and resolute spirit" of this seaside town, made her want to move there.
"I may have discovered the best and most beautiful small town in America. And quite by accident. Like an explorer who went looking for a trade route and stumbled onto a civilization, I went looking for a beach getaway along the gentle arc of Mississippi's Gulf Coast and stumbled onto Ocean Springs."

While you're here, please load up our Google Map of Downtown shopping and dining for a virtual walking tour of great style for all ages and the eclectic tastes of the New South throughout the weekend.
Pumpkinpalooza, Starkville's annual harvest fest, kicks off a great weekend of fun with a spooky flair on Friday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. This year's event featuresMaroon Madness with the MSU men's and women's basketball teams. Former MSU basketball great, Darryl Wilson, will tip off the official MSU vs Auburn Pep Rally at 6:30 p.m., along with Bully and the MSU Cheer Squads. The Pep Rally will be followed by Maroon Madness at 7:00 p.m. at the half court set up on Main Street. Coaches Rick Ray and Vic Schaefer will address the crowd, and both teams will hold shoot-arounds, dunk contests, and other interactive events. Players will also be available to sign autographs with the kids.

Camping Road Trip along the Natchez Trace Parkway

For the nature and outdoors enthusiast, there's no place like the Natchez Trace Parkway. It crisscrosses three states for 444 miles, 300 of which are in Mississippi. Along the way, you can enjoy a number of activities, from cycling to fishing, and see a wealth of natural and cultural landmarks. This five-day itinerary highlights the must-sees on your trip.
"A road trip down the Natchez Trace Parkway can be an awe-inspiring experience. It may not hit you at first, but when you drive along the Parkway, you'd be traveling down the approximation of a 10,000-year-old pathway so steeped in history that, if it could, it would tell you tales of wonder you'd never read in any book."

Tunica is probably best known for its gaming action, outlet center and easy access from Memphis, Tenn. But in addition to great slots, live music, comedy shows and buffets, Tunica is also home to an attraction that celebrates the Mississippi River and offers year-round exploration of one of our state's greatest natural resources.
Perfect for family outings or a romantic sunset walk, the Tunica RiverPark offers visitors an up-close view of the awe-inspiring beauty of the Mississippi River. The grounds are rich with native wildlife and flora, and the stunning architectural features of the RiverPark Overlook provide breathtaking views of the great river. The Riverpark features the Mississippi River Museum, a nature trail, a 48-foot river overlook and a gift shop. It was named "Best of the Road" by Rand McNally in the 2011 edition of America's Road Atlas.
The Mississippi River Museum at the Riverpark is a journey through time via authentic artifacts and exhibits along with an extensive, interactive showcase of history, nature and culture. Recent exhibits at the Riverpark have provided some very diverse offerings for visitors. "From Plantation to Prosperity: A Black Family History in the Mississippi Delta" explored the roots of African Americans in the region. Another exhibition showcased the works of Delta-born artists. Two kid-friendly exhibits – "Mound Builder" and "Wildlife Spotting" – delivered interactive fun for the Riverpark's youngest visitors.
In addition to the Riverpark and museum, visitors can explore the region from the river's point of view aboard the Tunica Queen. Just imagine enjoying the sunset on the Mississippi River from the deck of a riverboat modeled after the iconic vessels of old! Sightseeing cruises and dinner cruises are available from March through December.
Closed on Mondays and Christmas Day, the Tunica Riverpark is open 10-7 March – October and 10-5 November – February. The Nature Trail and Gift Shop are free to the public. Tickets for the museum and Tunica Queen are available at the Riverpark ticket desk. For more information, click here.

Tishomingo County Courthouse: The Marriage Capital

In 1870, Prentiss and Alcorn Counties were carved out what was the original Tishomingo County located in the extreme northeastern corner of our great state. Here, the 19th-century architectural charm and authentic southern hospitality were in full swing.
In Iuka, one building was crucial to the area's rich history and still stands as a reminder of days gone by. The Tishomingo County Courthouse is a quaint 19th century building carefully restored and filled with extraordinary antique collections. It houses a large selection of vintage court documents and memorabilia along with county archives. Additionally, the courtroom and sheriff's office accurately depict the building's historical usage.
During its busiest days, the Tishomingo County Courthouse was the site where more than 55,000 couples were married. In fact, at one time, the courthouse was called the "Marriage Capital of the South," because couples from Alabama and Tennessee would cross state lines to marry in Iuka since there was no three-day waiting period. Preachers and justices of the peace would race to the cars outside to be the first to marry the waiting lovebirds.
The courthouse also played host to the famous annual gospel singing convention, which was held here from 1917 until 1971. And it was the location of political speeches by former governors Theodore G. Bilbo and James K.Vardaman.
The historic courthouse was vacated in 1971, but today serves as the home of the Tishomingo County Historical and Genealogical Society and its historical museum. The second floor courtroom is available for weddings, civic and business meetings, bridal and baby showers and school or family reunions.
The building is open Tuesday-Friday from 10-4 year-round and Saturdays from 10-2 from May through September. For more information about the Tishomingo County Courthouse, click here.

For more than forty years, the Department of Theology has offered M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, and now also offers the Master of Arts in Christian Doctrine (M.A.C.D.), which can be taken on campus or 100% online.
Marquette has traditionally offered an integrated graduate education in theology, providing every student background and methodological training in biblical, historical, and systematics/ethics as well as an in-depth specialization in one of the three.
The M.A. and Ph.D. programs seek to develop scholars who can make significant contributions to theological research and writing, and college teachers who can teach a broad range of courses to undergraduate students.
Because of its classically structured education, Marquette has enjoyed great success in placing doctoral graduates in teaching positions in over 200 colleges and universities, in church work and ministry, and in a variety of other educationally related occupations.
The M.A.C.D. program focuses on an ecumenical appropriation and communication of Christian doctrine for theology teachers in Catholic high schools, for teachers in other religious education or formation programs, and for persons interested either simply in theological enrichment or in serving various other needs in their religious communities.

Opportunity left on base
Jun 3, 2014
By Robert Husseman
Of the News-Register
DAYTON -- Hits were hard to come by.
The No. 2 Dayton softball team managed six of them off Rainier pitchers Shelby Saylors and Sarah Probasco. The No. 3 Columbians had trouble with Pirates ace Sierra Ray, managing seven hits.
Rainier centerfielder Jessica Gibson belted an RBI single off Ray in the third inning, and that would be all the Columbians would need in a 1-0 victory over the Pirates in Tuesday's Class 3A state semifinal softball game at Jim Connelly Field.
Ray had a double for Dayton, and Rachael Fluke, Cassi Hill, Kylee Hill, Michaela Shouldis and Sydney Van Noy each had singles. The Pirates left 13 men on base during the game to Rainier's four.
The Columbians (23-4) will play for the Class 3A state championship Friday at the Oregon State University softball complex in Corvallis.
Dayton finishes its season with a 21-4 record. The Pirates went undefeated (10-0) to win the Class 3A West Valley League.

Please select a language you
want to receive our newsletter in:
Depending on your thermal preferences, you can play golf along the Atlantic Coast of Europe in a variety of climates. Feel the bracing sea breezes in Iceland, Ireland or head south to the sun-swept greens in Spain and Portugal.
Of course playing golf in Iceland is a little bit different on its 65 courses - where else are you going to play on lava fields near live volcanoes? Grafarholt golf course near Reykjavik is the oldest 18-hole golf course in Iceland and probably the toughest – so plan on relaxing in a thermal pool after your game. As with all the Scandinavian countries of Europe, during the summer you can play all night loing if you want to, thanks to the midnight sun. In fact, an open international match held at the Akureyri Golf Club tees off just before midnight! Just be sure to wear your thermal golf clothing!
Ireland is a leading destination for golf, with over 400 golf clubs including a third of the world's natural links courses. Hundreds of thousands of golf lovers come here each year to revel in the emerald green courses and a host of tournaments, not to mention the lovely scenery and cozy evenings to recount every stroke over a pint at a music-filled pub.
Spain is a premier location in Europe for golf, with 313 courses in a range of settings from seaside to mountainside, and marvelous weather almost year round to lure you out for a round. Or several. Andalusia is known as the "Costa del Golf" thanks to its many courses, and the Balearic Islands also feature beautiful seaside courses. The rugged Pyrenees provide the backdrop for courses at Golf Fontanals de Cerdanya or the Benasque Club, near the Posets-Maladeta Nature Reserve.
If you prefer city life and its cultural richness, rejoice! Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Zaragoza, Valencia and Bilbao all have terrific courses both in and just outside the city so you can mix up your own blend of golf and urban pleasures.
Boredom is banned in Spain; if you tire of swinging your clubs, sink your aching muscles in a thermal bath, stroll through a Moorish palace, listen to Flamenco music, conduct a comparative study of tapas bars….there's no end to the fun in Spain, on or off the greens!
Playing golf in Portugal can be very challenging thanks to beautiful views of the Atlantic, whether from the sunny Algarve or the floating island of Madeira. Besides the sparkling seascape you may have ocean breezes to contend with or the distracting sight of a whale spouting offshore. Be brave and stay focused. Golfers love Portugal because of the clement weather that lasts for months, the variety of terrain and the quality of the courses. Designers such as Rocky Roquemore, Frank Pennink and Robert Trent Jones have all designed courses here. Even if you play one of Portugal's truly demanding courses, it's impossible to feel any stress in the idyllic surroundings and easy-going pace you'll find here.
Tourism is flourishing in the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The Rhine, one of Europe's great rivers, brings to mind wine and beautiful landscapes.
The Pyrenees Mountains straddle the border between Spain and France.

On Sunday, March 25th, the women's ultimate team helped to host a layout clinic with the club team, Backhanded Compliments, in our very own RAC. Players from neighboring schools, such as Goucher, Towson, John's Hopkins, and even Georgetown University, made their way to UMBC's campus to participate. Even alumni players, including coaches and upper-level club team players graced us with their presence and showed off their skills.
Many who don't play ultimate ask, what is a layout? In the game, a layout is when a person vertically dives to catch a disc before it hits the ground, or on defense, it is done to catch or block a disc from the opponent. This is an important part of higher-level ultimate, and it is extremely important to know how to layout correctly in order to avoid injury.
Coach and experienced player, Zara Cadoux, set up stations with different types of safety mats, to help players learn how to layout. The stations included core-strengthening exercises, a "face your fears" mat, throwing routines, and finally, a run-and-jump exercise. Girls had a field day with the stations and there were notable bids from some of our very own players.
It was a successful day for UMBC women's ultimate, connecting the ultimate community and promoting the sport within our campus.

FALFURRIAS, Texas, (UPI) — A rural South Texas county says it has seen a steep rise this year in the number of both deaths and rescues of people crossing the border illegally.
The increase comes even as migration from Mexico had dropped to record lows nationwide, NBC News reported Tuesday.
Brooks County; 70 miles from the Mexican border and near the tip of the "boot," is a prime spot for crossers because of its low population and vast stretches of ranch lands. Officials there say this year 104 remains of people believed to have been undocumented immigrants have been found. That's more than double last year's count.
It's a costly problem for the country's 7,500 residents. It has no coroner, so the bodies must be sent to neighboring Hidalgo County. County officials say it costs about $1,500 for each body to be autopsied.
Officials in Hidalgo County make efforts to identify the remains, but chances of doing so are small. The desert conditions destroy corpses and animals scatter the bones. Neither county can afford DNA testing that might help identify the dead, many of whom are buried in paupers' graves, identified only by a number, NBC said.
Some in Brooks County are working to end the often tragic consequences facing crossers. At least once a month, a group of volunteers patrol private ranch lands, carrying water, food, cameras and GPS devices, looking for anyone who needs to be rescued, or for those beyond rescue.
They also carry guns should they encounter coyotes, gang members or drug smugglers.
Whoever they find, they contact the Border Patrol.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JL Audio C2-525X by Buck Pomerantz Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. JL Audio's Evolution C2 speakers JL Audio's Evolution C2 speakers bring precision sound to your vehicle. They'll reproduce subtle elements of your music like delicate woodwinds or soprano vocals, then turn on a dime to deliver the deep thrum of the bass or thunder of the drums. Silk tweeter delivers smooth highs The C2-525X 5-1/4" speakers feature rugged polypropylene cones with rubber surrounds that can handle high power without distortion, so you get full-bodied low tones you can really feel. The 3/4" silk dome tweeters serve up smooth-sounding high frequencies that won't tax your ears, adding a satisfying dose of realism to your soundstage. Built-in crossovers make sure your tunes play smoothly across the whole musical spectrum. JL Audio includes a pair of grilles that you can use for custom installations.

Features Woofers: The JL Audio Evolution C2-525x coaxial speakers feature a 5-1/4 injection-molded, mica-filled polypropylene cone woofer with a butyl rubber surround. The woofer features a 1.0" voice coil on a Kapton Former, a symmetrical roll spider and a Ferrite magnet. These carefully engineered cones deliver the right combination of stiffness, damping, and off-axis response. The speaker also provides adequate bass, thanks to its ample mechanical clearance, optimized suspension and balanced motor design. Tweeters: The Evolution C2-525x coaxial speakers feature a 0.75" silk dome, ferrofluid-cooled tweeter with a damping neodymium magnet. The edge-driven silk dome tweeter is smooth, detailed (on or off axis), and provides great overall performance. Silk is lightweight and great for high frequency extension and efficiency. It is also designed for durability in the extreme automotive environment. Grilles: The Evolution C2-525x coaxial speakers include front-loading protective grilles with a striking design that combines black steel mesh with satin silver accents. Electroformed logo nameplates can be positioned on the grilles or elsewhere in the vehicle, according to the needs of the installation. Power Handling: JL Audio lists two power figures in the manual; 60 watts continuous power handling and recommended amp power 15-100 watts RMS. We've listed the RMS power recommendation in the specs table.

All the missing mids and highs come through crystal clear. JL Audio has done it again!! 17 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Wayyyy better than Type Rs Written By Kyle, Naperville, IL on Monday, March 02, 2009 I just got a new car (98 Toyota Avalon XLS) and I've been going all out as I've started from scratch with my audio system. These speakers are wayyy better than the 6.75" Alpine Type Rs I had in my old car. The magnet is huge and the bass is unbelievable, this is matched equally by the not-to-harsh treble. They seem to be built tough with a rubber protector on the magnet and an incredibly solid feel. This was my first time experiencing JL Audio and I must say, it wont be my last. 91 out of 95 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Sandy Chilewich is the founder and creative director of Chilewich / Sultan LLC in the United States. Chilewich has reinterpreted underutilized and overlooked manufacturing practices, producing designs marked by ingenuity and elegance for the last three decades with two distinct businesses. In 1978, Chilewich co-founded the hosiery company HUE with Kathy Moska; by 1997 the company was credited with revolutionizing the leg wear market with its innovations in design, packaging and merchandising. In years after the sale of the still-thriving HUE, Chilewich continued to explore her fascination with materials and textiles. In 1997, she introduced the highly successful Ray Bowl, which was acclaimed with utility patents and numerous awards. In a quest for other fabrics to incorporate into the Ray Bowl, she stumbled upon woven vinyl and fell in love with what she believed was a completely underutilized textile. Hence the launch, in 2000, of Chilewich's current distinctive product line of vinyl textiles. Chilewich went on to design and manufacture a number of successful applications for her growing collection of textiles. Her tablemats and floor mats can be seen in homes and better restaurants around the world. Chilewich bags, totes and cosmetic bags are modern and functional, perfect for travel and everyday use. In 2001 Chilewich, together with her architect husband, Joe Sultan, launched their first product for contract use. The two have changed the firm's corporate name to Chilewich / Sultan LLC to reflect their emergent business partnership. The award-winning Chilewich / Sultan LLC products are sold around the world.

But the Tigers, who have often relied on the experience, craftiness and fortitude of their leaders, have yet to put their best feet forward in league play, according to coach Elizabeth Tolleson.
"The girls are playing well, but we always have room to improve," Tolleson said. "We plan on keeping our practices intense. We simply cannot afford to let up, or be happy with where we are at."
The Tigers (15-2 overall, 4-0 WAC) notched two victories last week — a 55-22 defeat of host Los Banos High on Jan. 8 and a 50-29 besting of visiting Ceres High on Thursday, Jan. 10.
There was some celebration on the court following the win against the Ceres High Bulldogs, but the Tigers hope to accomplish plenty more before the regular season ends.
"We're going into each game focused," said Patterson sophomore Shealyn Craven. "We talk a lot about winning WAC. We're fired up. We really are determined to finish the season strong."
A sizeable advantage in rebounding made the difference against Ceres (1-2 WAC).
The Tigers pulled down a season-high 49 boards, preventing the Bulldogs from collecting many second-chance opportunities.
That success on the glass, in conjunction with sharp defense, carried Patterson even when its shooters slumped.
Craven (three assists) and junior Jovanah Arrington (five rebounds) led Patterson with 13 points apiece. Mele Tupouata (11 rebounds), a junior, and freshman Danielle Jenkins (nine rebounds) both added six points as the Tigers wrapped up their 14th victory in 15 games.
Juniors Dayna Hansen (nine rebounds) and Kiara Job and senior Shantel Perez (seven rebounds) all scored four points for Patterson.
"We don't take anything for granted," Craven said. "We are motivated to win."
Craven poured in 23 points against Los Banos (6-9, 1-2), and Tupouata added eight.
Through four league contests, Patterson is averaging 52.5 points per game while outscoring opponents by 26 points per game.
"The girls seem as though they are ready to step up to the challenge," Tolleson said. "I know we can be successful regardless of who we play because everyone on the team is a threat."
Patterson will continue the conference season with a home game at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17, against Pacheco High of Los Banos (6-10, 0-3).
Junior varsity
The JV Tigers dropped a 43-39 decision to Los Banos High on Jan. 8 but picked up their first WAC victory of the season with a 47-13 triumph against Ceres High two days later.
Leanna Lindsey (eight rebounds, two assists) scored 11 points and Jordynn Scheuller and Maria Cortez each had 10 as they led the Tigers over Ceres.
Britnei Murray logged five points and five rebounds, and Ariyanna Cashen added four points and 10 boards.
Against Los Banos, Scheuller scored a team-high 15 points and Lindsey notched eight. Cortez, Murray and Cashen each recorded four points for the Tigers (1-3 WAC).
The freshman Tigers (0-4 WAC) lost to Ceres 39-3 on Thursday.
Ana Martin scored two points and made two rebounds for Patterson, while Paula Diaz contributed four rebounds and six steals.

I got a micro adjustable NAP Apache rest and I have adjusted centershot in 1/32 increments back and forth a dozen times or more and I get it to where it hits where the sight is aiming but the fishtail never goes away. I don't care whether the arrow hits where I want or not when the thing is fishtailing so bad I can see the shaft broadside before it hits. A bare shaft is horrible! On a bare shaft it literally flies sideways right before it hits. It looks like a guided missle from an F16 just sidewinding all over the sky. I think my arrows are underspined but it doesn't make sense. I have tried 75 gr 100 gr and 125 gr field points to no avail and my expandable blade broadheads which are used and I know fly like my field tips in other bows fly way left and low. These same arrows are used in my 1997 Martin pulling same draw weight and draw length and they fly straight as an arrow so how can they be underspined? I tried to call and talk to Joel today but he never returned my call.
Specs and bows:
1997 Martin Speed Demon with Z cams 28" draw and 63 lbs draw weight
2012 Silencer Nitrous cams 28" draw and 60 lbs draw weight
Same arrows for both Goldtip 5575 cut to 29" using NAP Twister vanes fletched at a 2-3 degree offset
75,100, 125 gr tips
Could I be underspined due to the faster more modern bow transferring more energy? Both bows have 7" brace heights

Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.

As stated last week about the left side being associated with evil. For thousands of years the Devil in pictures and other images is portrayed as left-handed. It is considered that we can only see ghost if we look over our left shoulder and the Devil watches us over the left side.
Evil spirits lurk over the left shoulder; throw salt over this shoulder to ward them off. In Roman times, salt was a very valuable commodity, giving rise to the word "salary" and was once considered a form of money. If salt was spilled, it was considered bad luck; that could only be avoided by throwing some of the spilled salt over your left shoulder to placate the devil.
Joan of Arc, burned at the stake in 1431, for being a heretic and a witch was not left-handed but was depicted in this way to make her seem evil.
Getting out of bed with the left food first means that you will have a bad day and be bad tempered. Therefore, we have "getting out of bed the wrong side." A ringing in the right ear means someone is praising you and the left ear it means that someone is cursing you.
Wedding rings worn on the third finger of the left hand originated with the Greeks and Romans, who wore them to fend of evil associated with the left-hand. It was believed that a nerved from this finger ran directly to the heart.
If you hear the sound of a cuckoo from the right it will be a lucky year. If the sound comes from the left it will be unlucky. If the left eye twitches, you will see an enemy. When dressmaking, it is believed to be bad luck to sew the left-hand sleeve onto a garment before the right sleeve. If going on a journey, if the right foot itches, you will have a good journey. If the left foot itches, it will end in sorrow. It is thought to be bad luck to pass a drink to another person with your left hand or anti-clockwise around a table. A left-handed toast will curse the victim. Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine de Beauharnais are the most famous left-handed couple in history.
Here are superstitions in favor of left-handed folks. Anyone who digs coal out of the ground from under the left foot in the spring will have very good luck. Apply ointment to wounds with the left forefinger to heal. The ancient Zuni tribe considered left-handedness a sign of good luck and believed the left was the older and wiser.
Superstition, in my belief is a state of mind, not supported by facts. I don't believe in good or bad luck and ghosts. But to show how in-grained it is, I do sometime knock on wood and find myself aware when a black cat crosses my path and I see no reason for walking under a ladder. Superstitious, I might be.

Autumn begins the 23rd of September, I suppose that means summer is ending. Before summer comes to a halt, perhaps one more grilling out or a campfire is in order. Simple hot dogs are a must for either, on the grill or roasted over a fire.
Hot dogs are rather a simple food with interesting facts. They range from cocktail size or big dinner frankfurters. Seasoned plain or taste may include spices.
Hot dogs are among America's favorite foods. Americans consume on average 60 hot dogs each year. Hot dogs are primarily regarded as a fun, summertime food and most eaten on Memorial Day and Labor Day. The sausage (a form of hot dogs) is one of the oldest forms of processed food, having been mentioned in Homer's Odyssey, 9th Century B.C.. Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar's cook, Gaius, is often credited with discovering the first sausage. It was custom of the time to starve the pigs one week before cooking and eating them. One pig was brought out well roasted, but it was noticed that somehow it had not been cleaned. Cook Gaius ran a knife into its belly to see if the pig was fit to eat. To his surprise, out popped the intestines and they were all puffed up and hollow. It was reported that Gaius said, "I have discovered something of great importance." He stuffed the intestines with ground venison and ground beef mixed with cooked ground wheat and spices. He ties them into sections and the wiener was born.
Marlene Dietrich said her favorite meal was hot dogs & champagne. Babe Ruth once ate 12 hot dogs and eight bottles of soda between games of a double header. He was rushed to the hospital after the game with a severe case of indigestion. Al Capone's favorite food was Nathan's Coney Island hot dogs as was Cary Grant. Chicago's O'Hare International Airport sells more than two million hot dogs a year.
NASA has approved hot dogs as a regular item on Apollo moon flights, Skylab missions and space shuttle flights. During the war, soldiers were fed the dreaded K-rations that often consisted of beans, corned beef or hot dogs. To make the hot dogs more appetizing, the mess staff referred to them as steaks in a tube or Tube Steaks.
And lastly, there is even hot dog etiquette. Don't put hot dog toppings between the hot dog & the bun. Always "dress the dog," not the bun. Wet condiments like mustard and chili are applied first, followed by chunky condiments like relish, onions and sauerkraut, followed by shredded cheese, then salt and pepper. Do eat hot dogs on buns with your hands utensils should not touch hot dogs on buns. Don't use a cloth napkin to wipe you mouth when eating a hot dog. Paper is always preferable. Do use paper plates to serve hot dogs. Don't take more than 6.1 bites to finish a hot dog. Don't leave bits of bun on your plate. Eat it all. Do lick away any condiments remaining on the fingers after eating, not washed. Don't bring wine to a hot dog barbecue. Beer, soda, lemonade and iced tea are preferable. Don't ever think it is wrong to serve hot dogs.

I setup 2 - 2010's for a customer, both had the 1.5's set for 30", one was his indoor bow and the other was for IBO use. Initially, out of the box, they both had issues with the cables rubbing the post. After getting both in spec and playing around with the cable rod position we had clearance on both bows, wasn't much, but the cables did clear the post.

Seems like a lot of you have had this happen. When I talked with Joel at Martin about it he had never heard of this. Maybe they should get a heads up so they can work on it.
