Inside the Hafner, the 2012 women's volleyball team started strong and held on to finish in a four-way tie for 4th place in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference league standings. With the team's nine-game improvement, the 15-10 Hawks also qualified for the program's first-ever AMCC play-off game. The 2012 team broke ten season records and pushed several players into the top spots in the All-Time career leaders list. For that improvement, the league coaches voted Amanda Logue as the AMCC Coach of the Year and freshman Allegra Johnson was named to the 1st Team All-Conference.
Hilbert opened the season with a 1-1 record after their first date of competition at the AMCC vs. NEAC Challenge. The Hawks then went on a six-game tear to improve to 7-1 before they squared off against Keuka College again. The same result occurred with the Storm over-taking the Hawks and blemishing their record for the second time in nine games (7-2).
Hilbert finished their non-conference slate with an 11-7 record while they moved to 4-5 in AMCC standings. The royal and white took three early AMCC matches from Mount Aloysius, La Roche and D'Youville before they lost to the top team, Penn State Behrend in Hamburg. After traveling to Altoona for their AMCC cross-over matches, Hilbert played eight very-close scoring sets, beating MAC (3-1) and losing to Altoona (1-3). The regular season ended with losses to Medaille, Bradford and Franciscan.
Hilbert finished in a four-way tie for fourth place in the league, but once all the dust settled after all the tie-breakers were evaluated, the Hawks took the final seed in the first round of play-offs. As the 6th seed, Hilbert traveled to Franciscan and ended their season with a three-set loss.
Johnson and Chelsea Reischuck led the Hawks' offense with 240 and 212 kills. They both tied for points per set with 2.98 on the season. Sophomore Jordan Botsford led the defense rush with 223 digs with blocking help from senior Rachel Kwiatkowski (33). Shannon Memminger passed for 756 set assists and served 62 aces. Senior Devan Jonathan finished her career with 96 kills and second-best 25 assists.
As a team, the 2012 squad set several All Time Season Records. They established new standards in Kills (925), Kills per set (9.64), Attack attempts (3066), Attack pct. (.119), Assists (851), Assists per set (8.86), Service Aces (210), Points (1224.5), and Points per set (12.76).
Individually, several of the same categories were dominated by current players. Johnson earned 240 Kills, 2.61 Kills per set, 744 Attack attempts, and 2.98 Points per set. Memminger set a new Attack pct (.256) as well as 756 Assists, 7.96 Assist per set, and 62 Service Aces.
The All Time Career Leaders board has already been taken over by several of the 2012 athletes. Reischuck became the All Time Leader for: Kills after only three seasons (534), Attack Attempts (1795), and Points (679). Memminger owns the Assists (1697), Assists per set (6.76), and Service Aces (152) also after only three seasons. Kwiatkowski became the All Time Block Assist Leader with 56 and she and Devan Jonathan became the All Time matches Played leaders at 93 over the course of their four-year career.
Coach Logue needs to fill a few holes left by the graduation of Kwiatkowski and Jonathan and will shore up her defense with the goal of challenging for the AMCC championship.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

The sticker shock when you first see the bill for tuition, room and board, and all those nebulous fees is bad enough. With the excitement and stress that accompanies the move to college, it's easy to let down your guard and pony up the plastic for a whole lot of other expenses. Sure, you want what's best for your child, but you don't have to say yes to every item on his or her wish list.
See Our Special Report: Paying for College
Of course, not all students' needs are the same; students in engineering and medical studies, for example, may require new textbooks they'll keep or a more powerful computer. In other cases, some students may think it's necessary and cost-effective to buy a printer for their dorm or apartment and share the costs of ink and paper with their roommates. Still others may find it necessary to take their car to class, especially if they live off campus and drive back home for the holidays or extended weekends. But, generally speaking, here are 12 expenses campus life doesn't really require:
New textbooks. More and more universities are offering textbook rental programs to help students avoid paying unfathomable new-book prices. And with the average price of a textbook rising more than 20% in the past five years, it's not a moment too soon. Check to see whether your university offers a rental program, which is most often available for the school's core-curriculum and prerequisite classes. Save even more by comparison-shopping online for new and used textbooks for sale or rent.
Bigwords.com, CampusBooks.com and DealOz.com help you comparison-shop for new and used books, e-books and rentals. You can even save some trees by renting or buying e-textbooks from such retailers as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, which you can access from your computer or mobile devices. Learn more in How to Cut Your Textbook Costs in Half – or More.
A high-end laptop or desktop computer. You don't need the top-of-the-line Apple MacBook Pro, with all the bells and whistles, to get you through a semester of English lit, geography or even statistics. But you shouldn't feel obligated to buy the basic model laptop or desktop, either. Look for a computer that fits both your academic and extracurricular needs and lasts a long time. Cloud computers are cheap and gaining popularity, but their Web-centric focus of storing data virtually, limitations if you have a bad Internet connection, and inability to physically connect to a printer won't make the grade for a student's first year in college.
The Samsung ATIV Book 4 is a favorite of ours. Powerful, portable and affordable, this laptop is ideal for streaming movies, playing video games or cranking out that 20-page paper on comparative politics at 2 a.m. It has a 15.6-inch screen, weighs 4.6 pounds (ideal for carrying to class or the library) and has 8 gigabytes of memory and a 750GB hard drive. The Samsung is available at Best Buy for $700. For Mac users, consider the new, sleek MacBook Air. Its 4GB memory may be half that of the Samsung, but the Air is one of the nimblest and most durable computers on the market. Weighing only three pounds, it offers faster all-flash storage and up to 12 hours of battery life. The 13.3-inch version costs $1,050.
A printer. If you skip this, you'll save about $100 for a printer, $30 a pop for replacement ink and $9 per pack of paper. For less than $10, your teen could buy a flash drive instead, save his 20-page term paper on it, and print the paper in the campus computer lab, which you are likely already paying for. (Some schools include a technology fee -- $100 per semester, in some cases.) Students may also have the option of sending files directly from their dorm room to a computer-lab printer. But make sure you ask about page limits and any printing fees.
A pricey smart-phone plan. Sure, it's tempting to stay ahead of the curve with the latest generation iPhone, but as the competition between Apple and Samsung continues to heat up, college students are benefiting from less-expensive models and plans.
One of our favorites is the Samsung Galaxy Victory (free after rebate with a two-year Sprint contract). It's a 4G phone that runs Android 4.0, has a four-inch HD display with 233 pixels per inch, or PPI, and its 1.3-mexapixel front-facing camera is great for video chats (its 5-mexapixel rear camera is ideal for casual shots). What's more, it features Samsung's S Beam tool, which enables you to share photos, contacts, videos and links by tapping together two comparably equipped phones.
Another favorite is the Motorola Droid Razr M ($50 online with a two-year Verizon Wireless contract). For a lower-end phone, it is sleek and slim, with a vibrant 4.3-inch HD display with 256 PPI, an 8-megapixel rear camera and low-res front camera and 8GB of internal memory. The Razr M runs Android 4.1, supports 4G LTE and includes Android Beam for wireless sharing.
Still prefer an iPhone, but don't want to pay $200 for the iPhone 5? Consider its predecessor iPhone 4, available from Verizon Wireless for $1 with a two-year contract. Although considered old hat by some, it's a beautifully designed phone with a 326 PPI screen, and Apple's App Store offers hundreds of thousands of helpful applications.
As for less-expensive, no-contract plans, check out WalMart's Straight Talk plan, which offers unlimited voice, texting and data for $45 per month and a variety of smart phones. Or consider Virgin Mobile's Beyond Talk plans, which use Sprint's Nationwide Network. These plans come with unlimited messaging and data; 300 voice minutes per month is $35, while 1,200 minutes per month is $45. Unlimited minutes cost $55 per month. Boost Mobile, which also runs on Sprint's network, starts with a $55-per-month plan for an Android phone with unlimited talking, texting and data (make on-time payments for 18 months and the monthly price drops to $40).
Of course, if you have a family plan, you should consider if it's worth keeping your child on it versus getting him a prepaid plan. To learn more, read Smart Ways to Save on Smart-Phone Plans.
Cable TV. Cut this additional expense by accessing a wide variety of current entertainment and news online. You can stream programs from your TV set and/or Blu-ray player (newer models have built-in capabilities for Web access and apps), computer or a Web-enabled device, such as an Xbox 360 gaming console, a PlayStation 3, a Wii or a Roku.
--TV Shows. Hulu.com lets you stream TV shows free from participating networks online. You can typically stream the five most recent episodes of a show's current season free, and programs usually pop up on the site the day after they air on TV (Most Fox shows take eight days to access online after their air date, and current-season episodes of some CBS shows are available at CBS.com, but not on Hulu). Hulu also offers Hulu Plus, which for $8 a month gives you wider access to seasons of current and classic TV shows, thousands of movies (including films from the Criterion Collection) and limited advertising in 720p high definition. College students can get a two-week free trial if they sign up with their .edu e-mail address.
--Movies. For $8 a month, Netflix offers unlimited TV episodes and movies streaming online through a Web-enabled device. Redbox Instant by Verizon offers a smaller library of older films to steam (no TV programs), but for $8 a month you can get four DVD rentals from their ubiquitous kiosks, where you'll find newer releases. Although many classic and older films are available for streaming, to see the newest releases you'll have to rent or buy them individually. Amazon Instant Video, Blockbuster On Demand, CinemaNow, iTunes and Vudu offer movies that you can rent (typically for 30 days) or purchase on demand.
--Sports. WatchESPN.com (streams live broadcasts of professional sports, such as professional baseball, basketball, golf, soccer and tennis, and of course college basketball and football. You'll need a paid-TV subscription to access much of the content, but those who use participating Internet service providers can view content through the site.

French ambassador visits Northwest OhioWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
"The Art of the Louvre's Tuileries Garden" at Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) has transported thousands of visitors to Paris since it opened this winter, but on April 23 it passed perhaps its stiffest test yet – a visit from French ambassador Francois Delattre.
Delattre, who spent the day in Northwest Ohio as the guest of Congressman Bob Latta, declared the exhibit "an absolute delight."
"This is incredibly well-conceived, well-realized, and, here I speak as a Parisian, you feel like you are in Paris in two seconds, so it's wonderfully done," Delattre said, noting that he would be meeting Louvre Director Jean-Luc Martinez in a few days and will be telling him how much he enjoyed the exhibit.
Latta, who represents Ohio's 5th District and who co-chairs the Congressional French Caucus, said the purpose of the visit was not only to showcase area gems like TMA, but demonstrate France's economic ties to Northwest Ohio.
There are more than 200 French-owned or French-associated companies in Ohio, providing about 15,000 jobs, Latta said. Ohio exported about $250 million in exports to France last year, making it one of Ohio's largest European trade partners, he said.
Delattre said the partnership between France and the U.S. "walks on two legs" – culture and values on one side, innovation, cross-investment and job creation on the other.
The trip was Delattre's first visit to Northwest Ohio. He also visited the University of Findlay, where he met with local businesses leaders to discuss economic relations, spoke with students and honored Northwest Ohio World War II veteran Clyde Shull.
Delattre also ate a traditional French meal prepared by students from the Owens Community College's Culinary Institute and served by University of Findlay hospitality management students.
"They did an extremely good job," Delattre said. "I believe that France was the No. 1 in the world in terms of gastronomy. I discovered today we have to share this No. 1 position with those students who did such a great job."
At TMA, Delattre also met with a group of 16 French foreign exchange students, whose two-week term at St. Francis de Sales High School happened to coincide with the ambassador's visit. The students are visiting from St. Michel High School in Annecy, France, along the Eastern border near Geneva, Switzerland.
"When we told them they would be meeting the French ambassador, they couldn't believe it," said St. Francis French teacher Margaret Blackburn. "They were very excited."
Alexis Burnier, 17, said he enjoyed the exhibit.
"Very beautiful," he said.
Classmate Lucas Giel, 17, agreed.
"Amazing statues," he said. "I didn't see this in the Louvre in Paris. It's very important for me to see the art."
Both said school in the U.S. is "very different" from France, the biggest difference being the class schedule. French classes are shorter but the school day is longer, they said.
Giel said he was impressed by the number of sports available and the weight room. Burnier said his favorite part so far has been the welcome they've received.
St. Michel English teacher Martine Hoareau said the students will remember their trip forever.
"I told the girls, 'When you will be grandmothers you will tell your grandchildren you were in Toledo and you met the French ambassador,'" she said. "The boys were amazed because they saw the painting with the portrait of our King Louis XIV, and they said, 'Is that the real one?' Because this painting is in history books, so they knew it but they had never seen it for real. It's quite amazing to be in the States and see it here. We're very lucky."
St. Michel science teacher Gwenaël Belerin said nothing can compare to the real Tuileries Garden, but TMA's exhibition is a good representation.
"Nothing compares to Paris, but for people who have never been there it can give a [good idea]," Belerin said. "I think if I had never been to Paris, to the Louvre, to Tuileries, I think to see that I would say, 'Yes if I go to Paris, it's something I have to see.'"
Belerin said he particularly enjoyed the photography in the exhibit.
"It's very rare to have photography," Belerin said. "For a lot of people, photography is not art. For me, it's one of the biggest. So it's very amazing and we are so lucky to be here for a private visit."

The Salvation Army began its work in Detroit in 1887. Records from the Army's historical archives show the Adult Rehabilitation Center began here with just 4 wagons in 1895. Spurred on by tremendous need and generosity of the community, the A.R.C. grew rapidly in its first few decades of operation. By the 1950's the center was a huge enterprise, serving hundreds of men each year from a location at 1220 West Lafayette Boulevard.
The A.R.C. moved to its present location in 1972 after acquiring and renovating the former Coe Terminal Warehouse at 1627 W. Fort Street.In 2003, the Detroit A.R.C. and Pontiac A.R.C. merged to create the Southeast Michigan A.R.C. with a goal of even greater service to the community. In 2004, The Salvation Army made the commitment to keep the A.R.C. in Detroit by undertaking a $24 million building transformation aimed at providing new facilities, better programs, and a better overall atmosphere to aid the healing process.Completed in January 2007, the 355,000 square foot facility accommodates 300 beneficiaries and incorporates state-of-the-art technology for food service, donation process, store operations, work training and more.
In 2009, the ARC has started steps to provide a 50 bed Woman's Program. The Romulus Men's ARC was transformed and opened on August 1st, 2011. For more details please visit the story here.
The Salvation Army began in 1865 when William Booth, a London minister, gave up the comfort of his pulpit and decided to take his message into the streets where it would reach the poor, the homeless, the hungry and the destitute.
His original aim was to send converts to established churches of the day, but soon he realized that the poor did not feel comfortable or welcome in the pews of most of the churches and chapels of Victorian England. Regular churchgoers were appalled when these shabbily dressed, unwashed people came to join them in worship.
Booth decided to found a church especially for them — the East London Christian Mission. The mission grew slowly, but Booth's faith in God remained undiminished.
In May of 1878, Booth summoned his son, Bramwell, and his good friend George Railton to read a proof of the Christian Mission's annual report. At the top it read: THE CHRISTIAN MISSION is A VOLUNTEER ARMY. Bramwell strongly objected to this wording. He was not a volunteer: he was compelled to do God's work. So, in a flash of inspiration, Booth crossed out "Volunteer" and wrote "Salvation". The Salvation Army was born.
By the 1900s, the Army had spread around the world. The Salvation Army soon had officers and soldiers in 36 countries, including the United States of America. This well-organized yet flexible structure inspired a great many much-needed services: women's social work, the first food depot, the first day nursery and the first Salvation Army missionary hospital. During World War II, The Salvation Army operated 3,000 service units for the armed forces, which led to the formation of the USO.
Today, The Salvation Army is stronger and more powerful than ever. Now, in over 106 nations around the world, The Salvation Army continues to work where the need is greatest, guided by faith in God and love for all people. We are now know as the Southeast Michigan Adult Rehabilitation Ceter- Mens' / Women's Campus.

Three Tips for Starting Your Own Business
Going into business for yourself is a frightening prospect at the best of times.
You will be trading in the security of a permanent position and thrusting yourself into the spotlight.
Success will be entirely down to you and you really have to justify having a lazy day or taking time off.
However, on the flipside, there are few things that match the sensation of working for yourself or owning your own small business.
You get to make the decisions and everything that you earn comes off the back of your own hard work, rather than as a by-product of someone else's.
It truly is one of the most rewarding experiences in the world.
Starting up is one of the parts of the process so, with this in mind, here are three handy tips that will help shine a flashlight into the murky world of starting your own business.
1. Have a business plan
Whether you decide to sell bikes or espresso machines, you must have a definite business plan.
Having an idea, or even the seed of an idea, is where all great businesses start.
However that alone simply isn't enough to truly succeed. Before starting your business you need to plan everything out. What will be the most important actions you need to take?
What short-term plans should you make? How will you prepare for the long-term? All of these questions and many more need to be considered and answered before you take the plunge.
Additionally writing a business plan may give rise to questions that you hadn't even considered. Thinking about the IT infrastructure may give you pause to think about specific software that may be needed.
Thinking about taking invoices may lead to you having to make a decision on whether or not you need a dedicated accountant. It's a lot of initial organising but you won't regret it once it's done.
2. Go digital
Websites and social media are the storefronts and word of mouth of the modern age.
All businesses, no matter how big or small, have the opportunity to engage a wider audience thanks to the web and, with the popularity of smartphones and other devices, there has never been a time when the internet was more readily accessible.
Think about what your business has to offer that no other business can and make sure to focus on that as part of your digital strategy.
Share useful information and be as interesting and unique as possible on social platforms and eventually you will begin building a following that can directly transfer into leads and sales.
3. Network
Networking is as important now as it ever was. Discuss your business with everybody you think may be interested in what you have to offer.
Even if they aren't, they may be able to refer you to people who are.
Be engaging and interesting. Don't belabour your points or attempt to push people in a direction that they don't want to follow.
However if the opportunity arises promote yourself, promote your business and above all show the enthusiasm that encourages potential customers and business partners that you have the dedication to do what you need to do to succeed.

Its record HOT today in the Seattle area. We filled up the kiddy pool in anticipation, but now even that water is way too hot so we're back indoors enjoying AC. The heat has given me plenty of time to unpack and read a couple magazines…..including this one, with great ideas in it from some of my favorite designers/fellow bloggers.
And I pulled out some fabrics for my next quilt. I'll admit I've totally lost my sewing mojo, hopefully it comes back soon since this blog is called cluck.cluck.SEW. That could be a problem. I bought that top little car fabric during our trip, I don't know what its called but I think its adorable. It was expensive so I only bought a little bit, but now I'm kicking myself and wish I had more.
And last but not least flowers from the garden I've been playing with. One of my favorite things about this area is everything grows…..especially weeds.

crankbrothers' Mallet 3 pedals sport crank's super easy to enter/exit 4-sided cages with wide aluminum/polycarbonate platforms for first-class support and tough chromoly axles with steel wings for durability, making these great pedals ideal for downhilling and freeriding.
I could not say enough about these pedals! I'm very impressed with Crank Brothers pedals so far. I've had multiple different brands in the past.
Love this pedal! I used to used the other brand of clip less pedal but when I tried this piece never take out of my bike! Great for any kind of ride!!!
I loved my egg eaters so much I had to buy the platform version too for commuting since I cannot always wear shoes with clips and I thought these would be a good versatile pedal. That is true! These are relatively light for their size, nice big platform. The clips still work very easily and I have no problems getting lined up with the cleat. Without the adjustable "pegs" raised up for traction my foot does have a tendency to roll the center eggbeater which rolls your foot right off the pedal sometimes, but overall great. Buying another set for 3rd bike too!

WASHINGTON, D.C. — It is not the happiest of birthdays for the landmark Supreme Court decision that, a half-century ago, guaranteed a lawyer for criminal defendants who are too poor to afford one.
A unanimous high court issued its decision in Gideon v. Wainwright on March 18, 1963, declaring that states have an obligation to provide defendants with "the guiding hand of counsel" to ensure a fair trial for the accused.
But in many states today, taxpayer-funded public defenders face crushing caseloads, the quality of legal representation varies from county to county and people stand before judges having seen a lawyer only briefly.
"There is no denying that much, much needs to be done," Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday at a Justice Department event to commemorate the anniversary.
Clarence Earl Gideon had been in and out of jail in his nearly 51 years when he was arrested on suspicion of stealing wine and some money from vending machines at a Panama City, Fla., pool hall in 1961. Gideon asked the judge for a lawyer before his trial, but was turned down. At the time, Florida only provided lawyers for indigent defendants in capital cases.
A jury convicted Gideon, and the state Supreme Court upheld the verdict on appeal. Then, from his Florida prison cell, Gideon scratched out his Supreme Court appeal on prison stationery. It arrived at the court early in 1962 when the justices were looking for a good case to take on the issue of indigent defense. The court appointed Washington lawyer Abe Fortas, a future justice, to represent him.
Just two months after hearing arguments, Justice Hugo Black wrote for the court that "in our adversary system of criminal justice, any person hauled into court, who is too poor to hire a lawyer, cannot be assured a fair trial unless counsel is provided for him. This seems to us to be an obvious truth."
Five months later, Gideon got a lawyer and a new trial, and the attorney poked holes in the prosecution's case. A jury quickly returned its verdict: not guilty.
So that was the promise of Gideon – that a competent lawyer for the defense would stand on an equal footing with prosecutors, and that justice would prevail, at least in theory.

Soaring Eagles Capture Win From Hawks

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
ELMIRA, NY - Elmira College prevented a two-game win streak for Hilbert College when the Soaring Eagles defeated the Hawks 3-0 in men's volleyball February 29. Junior Scott Ross earned seven kills and finished with two blocks as the Hawks (3-11, 1-6) dropped a United Volleyball Conference (UVC) league match to the 15-9 (5-2 UVC) Eagles.
Ross was a workhorse at the net going pin to pin getting touches on many of Elmira's attacks. Hilbert got in trouble with their (.015) hitting percentage. The Hawks finished the match with one more kill than error at the net (25-24). Junior Anthony Blasz had eight kills (.231) and five digs in support of Ross' (.254) hitting. Junior Adam Clabo had team best six digs as did freshman Stephen Phillips with 19 assists. The Hawks played without the services of sophomore Adam Weaver, who was just named as the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Athlete of the Week February 27.
Eric Sandmann finished with nine kills and no attacking errors to lead Elmira on their home court.
The Hawks travel to central New York March 3 when they face Wells College (12pm) and Lancaster Bible College (2pm). Hilbert recently beat Wells (0-6) last weekend and have not faced LBC (5-7) yet this season. They have three common opponents with identical results; each team has beaten SUNYIT and lost to Juniata and Thiel earlier this year.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

A Bryan man has been found guilty of murder for his role in the 2011 shooting death of Billy Menard Junior.
Christopher Hernandez, 22, is one of three men who investigators say was involved in the death of Menard, who was shot during a drug deal at the Wilde Oak Apartment complex on October 15th.
The other two charged were Clayton Thompson, and Travis Carroll of Bryan.
According to police reports, a witness at the scene claims Thompson fired the fatal shot. Carroll reportedly stated to police that around midnight on October 15th, he sold Menard a "baggie" of marijuana and Menard became angry that the drugs were not of a good quality.
In the police report, Carroll claims Menard kept the marijuana and refused to pay him, which led to the argument.
Clayton Thompson, of Bryan is already serving a sentence of forty five years for his role in the crime. Thompson accepted a plea deal in November 2012.

Test Reviews
Magazine Field Test Gives MINOX APO HG 10x42 and BL 10x42 a Very Favorable Review
Results of an independent field test by a major magazine have given very high marks to two MINOX binoculars.
In the category called Great Glass, Part 1, the MINOX APO HG 10x43 asph binocular was ranked first among the nine brands tested by Field & Stream Magazine, and it was described as ...in quality, strictly top of the heap, reported in their August 2009 issue.
The second half of their study evaluated the performance of mid-range binoculars and the MINOX 10x42 BL ranked third, described as ...a great glass, small and light for its power.
The six-page Field & Stream feature, titled CRYSTAL CLEAR, was based on the premise that, Few hunting tools are as important and misunderstood -- as binoculars. Our expert (David E. Petzal) tells you everything you need to know to get the right pair and explains why this is the golden age of glass.
Thorsten Kortemeier, MINOX managing director, said,Naturally, we are pleased with this evaluation; it serves to confirm that we are achieving our goal of producing the finest quality optics that are value priced. To have it confirmed by independent field tests, conducted by a prestigious national magazine, is very reassuring.
Bird Watching, October 2008 - Test MINOX MD 50 W
The trade journal "BirdWatching" tested the MINOX MD 50 W. The result is an excellent price/performance ratio as well as good image quality and solid construction design.

Bird Watcher's Digest, November 2007: Midpriced MINOX HG Bincocular Round Up
by Michael and Diane Porter
Minox HG are among the binoculars of note
from the 2007 Midpriced Bincocular Round Up
[...] The new Minox HG series includes outstanding binoculars, a few of which fit (barely) into our mid-priced array. We looked at the Minox HG 8x33 and the 8.5x43, each of which can be found for under $800. Other sizes are available at somewhat higher prices.
In our optical quality tests, the Minox HGs were excellent. They also have some of the nicest-feeling engineering and smoothest-turning focus knobs we've found in any binocular. The addition of a distance scale on the focus knob (made possible because the wheel turns less than one full rotation in going from closest to most distant) gives the HG binocular the unique function of acting as a range meter.
The central focus wheel also serves as the easy-to-turn, locking diopter adjustment wheel. The eyecups, with gentle detents, twist out with unusual smoothness and precision. Eye relief for glasses wearers is excellent, as is the optical quality.
Several of our testers remarked that the HG gave a nice feeling in the hand. We judged it to be a great buy for someone looking at the upper end of the mid-priced field, for quality comparable to the high-end binoculars.
GUNS, November 2007: MINOX HG Binocs - Old World German quality shines
By Dave Anderson
If theres ever a golden age of optics, were living in it. There have never been better rifle scopes, spotting scopes and binoculars than those made right now. Never has your money bought so much quality or such amazing performance.
Just about the time I think optics manufacturers cant impress me any mire, along comes a binocular like the MINOX HG 8x33 BR aspherical. [ ] It certainly isnt what Id call an inexpensive binocular, but its performance rivals that of binoculars costing far more.
The MINOX 8x11 is an excellent example of what I have found to be a tremendously useful class of hunting binoculars. I suppose you could call this class mid-size, in between the mini pocket models (s.g. 8x20) and the fill size models (e.g. 8x42).
Resolution is critical. The ability to resolve detail is the reason we carry a binocular. To compare resolution I like to use sheets of newspaper with letters of different size. Having to actually read the words sorts out different levels of quality.
Whatever method you use, eventually you have to answer the question compared to what? I compared the MINOX to a current premium 8x32 model costing nearly twice as much. (Incidentally checking resolution while handholding the binocular is a waste of time. Set it on a solid rest and dont touch it.)
I was amazed to find the MINOX matched the resolution of the far costlier model. I could not see a difference. If I could read a word with one I could read it with the other. [ ] Lens coatings get more sophisticated all the time. MINOX calls theirs M* coating with up to 21 layers to modify light waves. Whatever they do, it works. These are simply outstanding optics.
[ ] In low-light conditions performance was superb, equalling or bettering any mid-size binocular Ive ever used, and Ive had some dandies.
As an eyeglass wearer, I appreciated the excellent eye relief and the retractable eyecups with four click-stop positions. Even if you dont normally wear glasses youll like this feature when wearing sunglasses or shooting glasses. The binocular is comfortable to hold and handles well. One turn of the large knurled focusing ring takes focus from infinity to the closest focusing distance of 6.6.
The more I used this MINOX 8x33, the more liked it. It may seem odd to call a binocular in this price range a terrific value, but with performance rivalling that of far more expensive models, that is just what it is. Its a perfect example of why these are such exciting times in the optical field.
American Hunter, Oktober 2007: MINOX BD 10x44
By Mark Kayser
First Impressions can be deceiving. Like when I first wrapped my hands around the MINOX BD 10x44 BP binocular. The wide frame seemed rather beefy compared to the various other models I had recently toted in the field. I attributed it to the Porro-prism design. [...]
Okay, so the MINOX BD seemed a bit big, but that notion disappeared as I effortlessly spun the focussing wheel and viewed chattering prairie dogs 300 yards in the distance. I dropped the binocular from my eyes and lifted it again, confirming that it was as clear as the naked eye, but with 10x performance.
Let me borrow your binocular, I asked my buddy during the varmint shoot. He handed me his name-brand roof-prism binocular that cost twice as much. For several minutes I went back and forth between the two, amazed that the Porro-prism MINOX binocular could deliver the same quality. [...]
History and impressions aside he MINOX BD 8x44 BP binocular is quality at an affordable price. [ ] An innovative internal focus knob a first in Porro-prism binoculars rotates easily but has enough tension to stop and hold the focus with no creep. It also aids in ensuring a waterproof seal since the eyepiece doesnt move forward of back from the main body of the binocular like traditional Porro-prism models. [...] I sank my pair in the tub for an hour with no ill effects.
To zero the binocular to your eyes, MINOX located the lockable dioptre adjustment in front of the focus wheel. Once you adjust it to your eyes its out of the way and free of any accidental twists. For extended eye relief, users can turn the twist-up eyecups with click stops to accommodate eyeglass and non-eyeglass users alike. All surfaces are rubberized to increase grip and the ergonomic feel of the product. Even the eyecups and focusing wheel two areas most manufacturers overlook received the rubberized treatment.
Porro-prism binoculars have another trait that seasoned users enjoy: the 3-D effect. An increase in the spacing of the objective lenses enhances the 3-D quality, or depth perception, of the image going to your eyes. This aids in precisely locating your target and with range estimation, which is, incidentally, where the MINOX shines. While not the lightest or the sleekest binocular on the market, the BD certainly will match any unit in its price range for performance.
I used the MINOX on a prairie dog shoot and its clairity aided in my spotting efforts to direct missed shots from my friend and to clearly see hits. I also toted the MINOX BD along while scouting for whitetails. From atop a bluff I was able to spot the points of a shed antler sticking out of the alfalfa.

Personally don't mind faction locks in some games but imo it doesn't fit in an Elder Scrolls game. Even the era which they are depicting was barbaric and orderless, it would've been near impossible for everyone from a race to support one cause (with the High Elves being an exception). I feel like there are other ways to make each side feel unique without taking away the freedom many have came to expect in an Elder Scrolls game.

So what defines a Hater from a Critic?
What defines the line between Objectivity & Cyncism?
I don't like what I'm seeing from ESO, but I like other TES Games, and I am not so petty to compare a Singleplayer's game features to that of an MMO. Much of what is going into ESO sounds similar to what GW2 has done, and I love GW2, but at the same time im not comparing them either.
So which am I? A Hater, A Critic, or a Non-conformist?
I wonder...

Looking forward to it.
I don't care about games being "sandboxes" per se (as different people seem to mean different things by that). I care about games giving me a lot of options, especially options outside of combat. and I care about those options weing well-implemented.
After all, the thing that appeals to me about the TES games is the open world, free-roaming, variety and distraction based gameplay. If this game can deliver on that online, it's worth a go in my book. Though I have to say they got strike one on the free-roaming thing; denying access to enemy territories is not a good idea in my book. I hope they haven't shut the door on that.

I don't see how you can hate on a game without even playing it. I hate swtor, but that's because I payed a lot of money for it, it was crap, and I only got 2 weeks play out of it.

Seeing as the Lore Master at Bethesda himself says you're wrong is plenty enough reason for me to believe in the company that created the lore and backstory over some internet personna with an agenda.
With that being said, yes the lore doesn't expressely say there were factions liek this but neither does it say they weren't. Seeing as Matt Firor is the brains behind both DAoC and the low amount of MMO's who've used this 3 faction system it isn't out of the realm of the believable to go with this style of conflict as opposed to the open conflict or 2 faction conflict both of which has been done to death over the course of 15 years of MMO.
Call me crazy but I prefer to play and explore systems in which have hardly been done over something that is the industry norm.

This. Apparently people don't see the difference here between the usual hating machine and TESO's situation.
If this game were based on (almost) any other IP or created its own (much like Rift did), "hating" would be quite less vocal. Call it "Abracadabra Online", with 3-factions PVP and some elements of semi-action combat and it would have had its own legitimate following.
Using the ES IP which is all about free and sandbox content they shot in their feet and they're going to get suppression fire all the way to release (and even more after I presume). And rightly so.
In the first announcement interviews the devs even cited WoW as one of their main point of reference for developing TESO (and the community backlash was such that they kept silent for weeks).
So there are a lot of motivations and informations for us not liking the development of this game. And this is called "Disapproval", not "Blind Hate". Of course it is as legitimate for others to like it of course.
PS: This talks remind me about an IP which already had its own sandox game and got a supposedly successful and multi-millionaire themepark translation with tons of promised features and, above all, true to the IP spirit and soul.
Go figure: they called it SWTOR and we got a bad WoW-clone with lightsabers. So, again, we have plenty of motivations and precedents to be skeptic about TESO.

I hate TESO. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate it. Gargabe three faction idiot DAOC system and that game was not all that great either. No freedom, themepark, crap ass WOW clone. Take a great IP and rip all the stuff that was great about it and give you some crappark MMO and try to tell you it is ES.
Oh, I applied for Beta...heh, am looking forward to the game.

Wait how can a game be both a wow clone and a daoc clone? Your not making sense daoc is nothing like wow AT ALL. they have nothing in common. Wow is a glorified lobby game where one you level you sit in cities queing to do instanced shit. Daoc is all open world and has no instances at all.

OP...my thoughts
The haters...those negative people.....they have always been around...they always will be.I don't know if there are more of them or they have just gotten more vocal.I think they voice a s strong undercurrent of disatisfaction many of us are feeling about the mmog genre and perhaps the sorry state of the RW in general. These nay sayers aren't going away.
My answer...i try to talk to people who want to talk, not just complain.I go to forums that have fewer negative posters. I never think I can change other peoples minds with my posts,nor do I try to.I just state my opinion and move on(so no extended conversations or discussion).Thats how I handle it(that may not be your way...but its mine).
I will also say..given all the horrendouslybad game design desions its VERY easy to slip into the negativity being expressed.So often I just read the latest news and move on.
As for ESO. I'm optomistic.Like many I've applied for beta and hope to be selected.I'm playing ES SKYRIM(until TESO comes out) and having a LOT of fun.

And seriously OP if you are posting this you too are a follower of others and not a leader of yourself. Go figure.

Pot calling kettle maybe?
The most depressing posts on these forums, in my opinion, are those continously criticising the community here. You say this is a miserable place to visit? I ask you what are *you* doing to make it better? How does having 'nothing positive to say' create a better environment? At least the guys that complain about the games are here talking about *games* and not other posters.
Like I say, you are not *in* traffic, you *are* traffic. No one is better or made superior (except in their own head) by talking as if it the other guys fault all the time. Folks need to look at their own content and tone and their contribution to the forums before attacking others IMO.
As in most things in life I feel you will find here what *you* want to find here. Depressing people will find it depressing, fun people will find it fun, debaters will find a debate. You will get offended if you want to be offended.
Improve things by being a objectively critical constructive poster with a sense of humour and a resiliant skin, not whinging about others. Lead by example. That's my advice anyhow.

1. We know some details, those are the details we are HATING because all but just a few details smacks of NOT TES, but DaoC with the TES name.
2. Original? Your post is obvious, you tell people not to hate because we know little...but then you claim its original...based on what? we know little remember? OH yeah!
So far the only thing I see that is original is making a sequal to a game then changing the name of it and using another games skins to increase interest in it.

EverQuest was an open ended themepark, so it could be possible for TESO. Still, I'm much more interested in EQNext not only for its mix of both (sandpark) but also for its slower paced combat : )

I would rather have DAoC2 than see TES turned into some distored imitation. Personally I don't think locking races into factions has anything to do with making the "realms" unique. I would prefer they focus on making a game that was unique and true to the IP rather than a knock off.

That strike one for you is worth about 2 for me and from everything I've heard they've slammed the door on world exploration. It is promoted on the temporarly official ESO forums that if we don't like it, we should create an alt or get over it. We are told this is not a TES game but a spin-off of the series and if we want to explore to go play Skyrim.

I disagree with the game because they have locked races into factions. In addition we are unable to explore the whole world of Tamriel. I don't need to play the game to see that they've already excluded freedom of choice and exploration from a franchise that embraces these elements.

Ohhh really, the Lore Master himself says I'm wrong... do you have a link for that? All of the books and lore I've read support my claim (moreso than 3 different races aligning themselves so perfectly into 3 different factions). There was many struggles between and within races at this time.
* An interregnum is a period of discontinuity or "gap" in a government, organization, or social order.
Having 3 factions is perfectly fine imo. I don't like the fact that they made the war racial when many races wasn't even that organized among themselves - I mean the Nords would've shit bricks if their high king aligned with Dunmers and Argonians.
They could've put in the factions as 3 different groups fighting for control of Cyrodiil; The Nord High King, The Breton Merchant Lord and the High Elf Queen. Then other races could be mixed in such as;
This would've been a setting that would allowed different races to join other factions. It would make sense because everyone has their own interest and it isn't tied into the whole nation.
Industry norm is to bring up DAoC in some way when talking about PvP. Many of the systems they are describing is nothing more than modified versions of systems already in other MMOs. I would've LOVED to have something that isn't normally done and TES would've been a great IP for it.

Unfortantly by then it will be too late. Usually I'm the same way but TES hits so close to home with me. In most games I'm the one defending them from all the scrutiny.
You have a good outlook.

Allyn Rose, the 24-year-old who will represent Washington, D.C., in the upcoming Miss America pageant, announced that she will undergo a double mastectomy as a breast cancer prevention measure, according to news reports.
Rose has a chromosomal disease that raises her risk of breast cancer -- one that her mother, who died from breast cancer, also had, she told NBC News.
"I unfortunately lost my mom to breast cancer when I was 16," Rose told NBC News. She is now making breast cancer prevention her platform in the upcoming Miss American pageant. She previously competed in the Miss USA pageant last year as Miss Maryland.
Rose did not specify what disease exactly it is that she has, but she told People magazine that it dramatically raises the risk of developing breast cancer.
"It manifests in male children, but there have been studies that women who are the carriers of it have almost a 75 percent likely chance of contracting breast cancer," Rose told People. "It's a very strange change in our genetic code. Almost all of the women in my family have passed away from it."
Olga Olevsky, an assistnat clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, told NBC News that Rose is an example of a young person who is taking her health seriously.
"Being proactive is important," Olevsky told NBC News.
Recently, Sharon Osbourne announced that she had undergone a double mastectomy for preventive reasons as well, after she discovered she carried a gene that raised her risk of breast cancer. Osbourne did not specify what gene it was she had, but it's well-known that certain harmful mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes raise the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. These genes ordinarily work as tumor suppressors, but when they are mutated, they are known to lead to a dramatically raised risk of cancer, the National Cancer Institute reported.
