hi there
Does the tailgate handleon the outside move?
yes, it feels like it is locked
moves easily
ok, try this first..move the outside handle all the way forward to the body of the tailgate, then lock and unlock the doors with the button on the remote or inside the car, then try and open the tailgate again.
Tried that. although over the last few day is was intermittent with working and not.
And some times it won't lock when pressing the remote
Can I replace the electric lock?
ok, sounds like it may be a problem with the lock solenoid, you will need to get the gate open to remove the inner panel to test the lock
walk me through the testing
Can you get the gate open by hitting the button on and off as you mentioned
I will try, the car is outside
I can do that
ok, I may have to step away for a bit but we cn work on this after I get back
You have a test light
I have a ohm meter
You will need a volt meter or 12volt testlight
Once you remove the tailgate trim, by removing the visible screws and pull handle then the trim will need to carefully be pulled off(there are clips on the iside holding the trim to the tailgate) you will need to remove the latch/lock solenoid assy. to test the car circuit and solenoid.
Here is a diagram of how to remove the latch assy.
the handle moves freely??
usually they rust up causing your issue
when you pull the handle to open the tailgate and then let go of the handle, it returns down?
with the tailgate open, use the remote ,locking and unlocking, do you hear a clicking of the T/gate solenoid working?
ok, so it's either a bad lock solenoid or a wiring issue, not supplying 12v. to the solenoid
Only way to know is to get into the T/gate, remove the latch assy, which has the solenoid attached, then disconnect the 2 wire connector on the solenoid, probe those 2 wires with a volt meter, then operate the locks, if you see Battery voltage when you operate the lock and unlock buttons, then it's a bad solenoid, if there is not battery voltage (1v or more) then you have a wiring problem.
How do I purchase just the actuator?

The production is directed by William Kershner and features music by Richard Rodgers. Written by Oscar Hammerstein II, the book and lyrics were based on "Anna and the King" by Margaret Landon. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $5 for students and free for children younger than 12 and for members of the Sweet Briar community. To reserve tickets, contact the box office at [email protected] or (434) 381-6120, beginning Oct. 8. To order by credit card, visit lynchburgtickets.com.
The musical coincides with Kershner's 'Silver Soiree,' an event to celebrate his "first 25 years at Sweet Briar," said box office manager Shelbie Filson. The celebration will take place after the Saturday, Oct. 20 performance at the Elston Inn Conference Center. A free pre-show dinner lecture by Kershner at 6 p.m. in Prothro Dining Hall will precede the performance. Regular dinner rates apply. Reservations for the lecture can be made through the box office beginning Monday, Oct. 8.
All area teachers and students will receive free admission for the premiere on Thursday, Oct. 18. The Sunday, Oct. 21 matinee will be sign-interpreted.
In a true community effort, the cast of 50 features Sweet Briar students, staff and friends, including Catherine Ramos '13 as Anna Leonowens; Emma Kieley '16 as Tuptim; Shannon McCarthy '16 as Lady Thiang; and the vice president for finance and administration, Scott Shank, who plays Sir Edward Ramsay. Performing arts faculty involved are music director Rebecca McCord, choreographer Loretta Wittman, vocal coach Marcia Thom, designer/technical director Cheryl Warnock and costumer Ursula Kuhar. Mary Rora '12 serves as the master electrician and assistant lighting designer, and M.A.T. candidate Ebet Davey '12 is the assistant director. Even family members are involved in the production.
"Assistant soccer coach Amy Dahlin's daughter is one of the dancers, and the royal children include one of Dean Amy Jessen-Marshall's daughters, as well as the daughters of alumna Laura Price '99 and professor Rebecca McCord," Filson said.

Happy mom-to-be Jessica Simpson was all smiles as she left an office building in Beverly Hills, California yesterday evening and headed to a dinner date at Mastro's Steakhouse with a friend (January 18).
The singer, who is expecting her first child with her fiance Eric Johnson, paired her short black patterned dress with an Yves Saint Laurent bag… and of course a pair of Christian Louboutin heels. Jessica has been loving her stilettos throughout her pregnancy:
I'm probably going to deliver my baby in these heels," Jessica recently joked. "I went to the doctor yesterday and he said, 'You're gonna need to get out of those heels! "I was like, 'Excuse me! I'll be delivering in these heels!"

Writing About Theology and Culture as a Parent
Posted in: General,Rock and Theology Project by Tom Beaudoin on June 28, 2010
One of the things I've learned over the last couple years of writing blog posts is how frequently I must pause to ask myself how I, as a parent, am going to present a certain issue. My hesitations are almost always around the ways I will present, in word and image, matters about women and sexuality in theological and musical cultures.
I have been on the Internet since September of 1988 (or what we called "bitnet" back then), and am aware that some of my posts from the late 80s and early 90s can still be found floating around on the Internet. In other words, I know well that once something is posted online, it rarely completely disappears. And I imagine that however long R&T as a blog and as a research project endures, that these posts will be somehow accessible years or decades from now, for anyone including my daughter, when she is old enough, who would like to read them and can figure how out to do so. (She is not yet five years old, so I have a little time before she's hunting around for Dad's past lives in cyberspace.)
Most parents can sympathize with the quandaries before me as I seek to write online and in print, as directly as possible, if even in necessarily indirect language, about what is at stake theologically regarding life in contemporary culture. In the first hours after my daughter was born, I had the immediate and conclusive sense, which has only solidified in the years since, that her vitality and future had already, in an "eschatological" way, eclipsed mine, and that almost every important decision my wife and I would make, even about our "personal" lives and work, would somehow shift, sometimes irreversibly, the ecology of our family's life together and our daughter's future in particular. This is more than profound because it involves upending an entire way of being in the world into something completely unanticipatable, but it is also banal because almost every capable parent, especially in our day, feels this way very quickly, thoroughly, viscerally. What are the theologically realistic and subtle ways that we parents of young children can think about how we will justify to our adult children how we spent these years when they were young?
My impression is that many radical religion scholars in sexuality and gender, whose work I respect, do not have children; or children's concerns do not seem to enter notably into their writings and their calculations about what and how to write. What will this new era, when more theologians-as-parents than ever are able to write about the most delicate and important issues, portend for the content of theology and the processes by which theology is written?
And so I have to think about what I post online now in a different way, but this does not often give me any easy answers. As I mentioned, I am probably most concerned about how I care for the presentation of women and matters of sexuality in music and theology, even though there are lots of other values and practices that are important in parenting a girl in a white middle-class family like ours. Why femaleness/femininity and sexuality? My thinking is very simple: in the present, intentional and creative attention to gender and sexuality seem crucial in the healthy raising of children, and in the recent past, gender and sexuality have been deeply problematic parts of life, in religion and music, not to mention Western culture in general, for young people. (I am of course bracketing religion and spirituality, since for me a rich awareness of those dimensions of life are (I hope) givens for my parenting.) But race, social class, place, it goes without saying how crucial these too are — and there are so many overlays that are worth noticing about childhood and parenting, not to mention of course the imperative to have as much fun, and more deeply, as much joy, as our capacities and situations allow, to be as fair and just as possible, and most of all, I think, to discover one's own courage and "legitimate strangeness." I have a lot of this in the back of my mind when I cook up posts online now, and even when I write pieces for print publication. I have no "objective" norm for how I make these decisions. Perhaps the best way I can summarize my overriding sense of how to make decisions about what to write, is to hope that whatever my daughter learns of my work in the future, she will think that it adds up to something worthy of the better parts of the father she's known me to be.

Freedom on the Dance Floor: George Michael and Having What We Can
Posted in: General,Grace by Tom Beaudoin on June 28, 2010
We who are committed to theology can only theologize in and from our particular and even peculiar situations. Here's a situation: a dance club or party. Here's a song and video: "Freedom." And here's the artist: George Michael. Over the past several years at clubs or parties, I have noticed the role this song and video plays in giving at least momentary joy to many kinds of people (including me), and not only at the gay clubs one might readily associate with this music (but certainly there as well). Since its appearance two decades ago, this song has been in the background soundtrack for our culture, but I have been noticing how easily this song takes charge in party atmospheres once its synthesized high-hat opening greets you so politely. (Note: the video is not for kids.)
Here is a live version that plays up the gospel atmosphere of the tune:
I will repeat for the umpteenth time that one need not endorse everything possibly associated with this (or any) music to be curious about its power for holding interpersonal moments, whether club floors or basement bars. Some interpreters hear this song as Michael's declaration of independence from the corporate music industry represented by MTV. Others hear a meditation on relationships. But what seems clear to me is that in the lived party moment, almost all are focused on that rousing gospelly declaration of "freedom" in the chorus. Does it hurt that it can also be heard as a gospel of resistance to codependence? "All we have to see is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me." All who hear the message of freedom and live it beyond Michael's music, with or without the assistance of theologians, are going to already transcend the limits of his particular struggles and the way the video positions the song, however many significant identifications there may be between fans and these fantasized elements of life and art. And would I be so wrong to praise the happy and happening bassline as a key reason this song succeeds musically? It leads the jive and groove all the way through, including laying down the staccato landing lights during the bridge ("I think there's something you should know…") most deliciously.
Like a good deal of popular music, "Freedom" is situated between sacred and profane: "It looks like the road to heaven, it feels like the road to hell."

Of Winger and Theology: Part Four
Posted in: General,Musical Performance by Tom Beaudoin on June 28, 2010
I recently wrote about the ways that rock musicians model desire and its satisfaction, using the example of Reb Beach, lead guitarist of Winger, and the way he relates to the guitar as part of his body, as an integrated embodiment of the song, during live shows.
I have not yet mentioned how vocal chatter can comment on the bodily wherewithal during live shows. What a musician says during performance can interpret, supplement, sometimes replace, their larger bodily wherewithal.
And so it was fun to notice, at the Winger show in New York City recently, that Reb Beach mouthed a bit of a mock-parroting of lead singer Kip Winger's opening line to the song "Madalaine," a lyric that, devoid of irony, declares, "Tell you 'bout this lady!" As Kip Winger sang that line, Beach lip-synched it with just enough of a "Can you believe he is singing that?" smile to give the audience an interstice of irony in which to firmly plant one rock-stomping foot, as Beach himself was doing, while still enjoying a song like "Madalaine," which includes keening lyrics like: "This is love too tough to tame," "Beware of the girl! Beware of the pain"!
The creation of an escape-space in Beach's silent vocality helped model how desire can work in rock: taste and see how good this sounds and feels to be hearing this loud, driving, melodic, musicianly music together.
To the degree that music is a conduit of salvation, and by salvation I mean, in a nutshell, the growing of a deep yes to reality, in, through, and beyond this world, then we have to learn how to feel that world in which we live, and these clues from musicians are part of the cues we get. We have to learn how to "be saved"; we have to learn how to be in and with our music.
To be continued (next up: Kip Winger)…

Of Winger and Theology: Part Three
Posted in: Fandom,General,Guitarwork,Musical Performance by Tom Beaudoin on June 25, 2010
This post furthers my recent sketches relating theology to Winger (Part One is here, One and a Half here, and Two is here).
One of the most recognizable images of Winger's live shows — which they share with larger rock culture — is the utter importance of the musicians' bodily wherewithal to the sound, look, and feel of the rock experience. Last weekend, I saw Winger at BB King's in New York City,
and before the show, I was talking with other fans gathered in front of the stage. One woman said to me that she was trying to get as close as possible to lead guitarist Reb Beach's side of the stage because, as she put it, Beach "totally melds with his guitar," he is "so into it, like he's in a trance." I could not disagree, and kept her observation with me through the performance and my later reflection on the band.
Beach is among a coterie of lead guitarists who display an uncanny familiar and lavish sympathy with their guitar, making it into a same and separate entity at once: both dance partner and electric extension of Beach's own body. For those whose tastes run to rock, it is compelling to be in the presence of this style of musicianship. I think the fan who said that to me is pointing to the way that bodily wherewithals or dispositions among rock musicians can symbolize and refocus fans' desires. I have felt the same way in seeing the relationship of Geddy Lee to his bass guitar, Michelle Malone to her guitar, and many fans say something similar of Hendrix's relationship to his guitar. Rock musicians, and probably all musicians, can develop intimate relationships with their instruments, and this in itself is spiritually interesting and important, but it takes another kind of psychology and musical identity to allow the abandon tucked into that intimate relationship to show itself in that peculiar combination of a studied and unstudied showing so characteristic of rock, especially hard rock, shows. There is also something interesting here in the way that this musical surrender allows body postures for men in particular that are forsworn in larger society. In the logic of "normal" North American everyday life, these postures would be weird or, importantly, "queer," but here the queer becomes revelatory, a "total meld." Whatever this is speaking to in fans' desires, it seems to be related to some kind of freedom that is an excellence, a relationship to a beyond, and the beauty of a sacred singularity.
Here is a clip of the band from last weekend's NYC show. Beach is the guitarist with the very long hair on the right side of the screen. In addition to lead guitar, you can see he also takes a harmonica solo!
And another show I attended in Los Angeles in 2007 had Beach channeling this guitar solo:

Of Winger and Theology: Part Two
Posted in: General by Tom Beaudoin on June 24, 2010
One way to find Winger (and much of rock music and culture) theologically interesting has to do with bodies. We can ask: What does rock culture model about bodies for those who partake of that culture?
For many complicated reasons, Christian theology has been invested in this question for a long time. The human body has been a site of interest, and "bodiliness" itself a site of invention, for the entire length of the tradition. The debates often center around how the body is a conduit for divinity. Christianity has contributed a remarkable share of creative means for having the body as a beautiful experience of being reconciled. It has also contributed powerfully domesticative and destructive body philosophies and practices.
Christianity has taken on as well as contributed to such creative and domesticative body philosophies and practices. Whatever else a theology of the body is about, it is always at least a theography of cultural materials in a situation for Christian use. This should make the theologian interested in what they can learn of bodies from around them in the larger culture. This is especially true of examples from the larger culture that are influential, or can perhaps be made theologically to be influential.
Thus can we come to rock with a keen theological interest, for rock culture has too always been wrapped up in bodily expression and knowledge, somatic invention, happening, wizardry, particularly in its musicianship and fan behaviors. So we can come to Winger.

Torture and "Toy Story 3"
Posted in: General by Tom Beaudoin on June 22, 2010
While we mostly stick to rock musics here at Rock and Theology, we occasionally wade into related areas of religion and culture. In that vein, I want to link to this post I just put up at the blog at the U.S. Jesuit magazine America, in which I discuss my reaction to seeing the new Disney movie "Toy Story" and being taken aback by intimations of torture in it.

Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution in Ethics, Politics, Spirit and Sound
by Brian Peterson
Revelation Records Publishing / $18.00 US (list)
[Amazon] [Revelation Records]
The terms "punk rock" and "hardcore punk" bring to mind a variety of images and stereotypes for "insiders" and "outsiders" alike. Cliches abound when the question of "what punk rock is" or "was" is raised, even in accounts written by those who have been key actors in punk rock. This is problematic because the movement has included countless offshoots and submovements, many of which were and continue to be contradictory and in conflict with one another.
An especially troubling viewpoint parroted in histories of punk and hardcore is the pinpointing of an early, and often arbitrary, "demise" for the genre, usually the early- or mid-1980s. The documentary American Hardcore, is a good example of this tendency. Most of the hardcore "heroes" interviewed in the film place the supposed "death" of punk in the mid-1980s, only to be followed by "pop" punk bands like Green Day and flavor-of-the-month emo bands.
These features of the dominant "punk narrative" obscure the fact that hardcore punk never stopped and in fact became arguably much more interesting, diverse, and contested, especially throughout the 1990s. Brian Peterson's mammoth book Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution in Ethics, Politics, Spirit, and Sound is the first account of this decade in hardcore punk, a decade overlooked or deliberately ignored in most previous accounts.Next Page »

There are people planting No on L signs in front of our apartments today. And the same signs also planted some other apartments own by the same landlord. He also endorsed the incumbents who are also against Measure L. Wonder what the landlord has to gain from against Measure L?

Please place your campaign signs in a place where Heyward Robbingsigns can not steal them, During the last election cycle Heyward Robinson was observed stealing signs for his competitors because he deemed them to be in unauthorized locations. Rather than calling the police department, Mr. Robinson took the law into his own hands and stole the signs. There is no due process where Heyward is oncerned. His wife drove the getaway car.

The irony of course is that 2 @ 60, while being the lowest you can go under Calpers, is still pretty good. If the unions were crafty, they'd make a bunch of 'pro' L signs that said things like "Yes on L: Give Our Unions the Guaranteed Lifetime Pensions They Deserve!" That could confuse people into thinking it was actually giveaway.
I'm joking (mostly).

Given the outrageous lies that Kelly Fergusson told in the voters guide regarding proposition L and her consistently putting the Employee Unions interests above those of the residents we should recall her from office. Kelly Fergusson has trampled upon the rights of Menlo Park residents for far too long. She must be removed from office. The sooner the better.

TOP STORY >> Grant pleases ASU-Beebe
Leader staff writer
ASU-Beebe has been approved for a $452,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security to pay for an emergency-notification system and security cameras.
Dr. Eugene McKay, ASU-Beebe chancellor, said a notification system that is supposed to alert students and staff of emergencies via cell phones was installed more than a year ago. It has been tested at least three times with poor results.
Some students had their phones turned off and didnt get the message, he said. Others were using their phones when the alarm call went out.
The new system will use voice-over Internet-protocol technology, which essentially means phones connected to the Internet.
Those phones are already installed in all the offices, he said.
The federal money will pay for phones in every classroom. If the campus is in danger from a terrorist attack, a shooter on a rampage or even a tornado, all phones can be rung simultaneously to get the warning out.
The phones will be installed on three campuses Beebe, Searcy and Heber Springs sometime next year after the federal money is received and the project bid, McKay said.
Funds not spent on phones will pay for security cameras at building entrances.
I think just having them up will make the campus more secure, McKay said.
McKay said much of the credit for securing funding for the security project goes to Stephanie Nichols, the lawyer he hired as his assistant who took the request to Congressman Vic Snyder and then worked with Snyders office for six months until the project was approved.
I am very pleased to support these projects which provide our first responders the technology and work environments to efficiently and effectively respond to emergencies, Snyder said when his office announced that the funding had been approved.
The safety of our faculty, staff, and students is a very high priority for ASU-Beebe, McKay said. I am very grateful to Congressman Snyder and our other congressional delegates for their support of this funding.

Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano Regrets Timing of Immigrant Release
ABC Digital
Political News
Updated at
(WASHINGTON) — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano had no part in a decision by underlings to release low-risk illegal immigrant detainees as a way to save money before the sequestration, and was surprised to learn about it, Napolitano told ABC News in an exclusive interview.
"Detainee populations and how that is managed back and forth is really handled by career officials in the field," Napolitano said.
Napolitano added that the release, which has been criticized by congressional Republicans, was poorly timed.
"Do I wish that this all hadn't been done all of a sudden and so that people weren't surprised by it? Of course," she said.
When asked why the detainees were in jail in the first place, Napolitano replied, "That's a good question. I've asked the same question myself…so we're looking into it."
With the sequestration deadline looming over the country Thursday, ABC News asked Napolitano if Americans should feel safe waking up in the morning. She said sequestration will have an effect on border security and safety.
"We are always going to put safety first, and that's why we're not going to be abbreviating our safety procedures or any of that," Napolitano said. "But, by way of example, the number of Border Patrol hours that will need to be reduced equates to the equivalent of 5,000 Border Patrol agents."
The cut, she said, would mean "the large narco traffickers, human smugglers," and other bad players could have easier access to the U.S.
"We deal with a lot of bad actors and we will have fewer agents to do that with," she said. "We'll have fewer hours that the Coast Guard is going to be patrolling along our maritime shores."
The secretary stressed that the department will keep safety first but the effects of the sequester are not to be taken lightly.
"Sequestration is a pretty tough nut," she said.
And, she insisted, it is not crying wolf to warn citizens they will see longer TSA lines at the airport and longer lines at the border.
"I think a citizen is going to notice. If there's citizens that are trying to go back and forth to Mexico and Canada, to the land ports of entry, where we already have some problems with long lines at very busy times, you're going to see those lines really grow," she said.
This wait increase will also apply to those coming through international airports and needing to go through customs.
"Those lines are going to grow significantly at some of the larger airports," she said. "We're going to have fewer people to do the checks we do. The checks are going to have to be the same. We do those for security reasons. But we're going to, over time, have fewer people to do them."
And while the effects won't be seen the first Saturday following sequestration, the impact could be felt as early as the following week and should be seen as more of an inconvenience than a security concern.
"From this department's standpoint, the longer lines at the ports, the reduction of Border Patrol hours and Coast Guard operations, those are the things that will be most visible," she said.

Scotty releases second album 'See You Tonight'
Posted October 14, 2013
Garner, N.C. — Homegrown country singer-songwriter Scotty McCreery's second album comes out Tuesday, a week before the Garner native performs a pair of concerts at the NC State Fair.
McCreery, winner of the 10th season of "American Idol," co-wrote five songs on "See You Tonight," including the title track. He called his sophomore release a "big step" from his 2011 Platinum debut "Clear As Day."
"I can't wait for everybody to hear it," McCreery said in a news release Monday. "With this album, I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to sound like and say."
McCreery will make the talk show rounds in New York this week before heading down to Nashville to celebrate at the Grand Ole Opry.
Next week, he comes home for two performances at the J.S. Dorton Arena in Raleigh, where he will croon his 13 new tracks to hometown fans.

Now that the Star Wars franchise has jettisoned the Expanded Universe and taken a new unified approach to any and all new stories going forward, it's time to start diving into the new official canon of what happens off-screen in that galaxy far away. Out this week from Disney Publishing Worldwide, Star Wars: A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller is the first installment in the franchise's new adult fiction line. Taking place just before the beginning of the upcoming animated series Star Wars: Rebels (which in turn takes place between the original and prequel trilogies), A New Dawn tells the story of how Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla—two of the lead characters from Rebels—meet.
Want a sneak peek? Courtesy of Random House, EW has an exclusive excerpt from the novel in both text and audio format. Vanessa Marshall, who voices Hera on Star Wars: Rebels, recorded the audio.
Star Wars: A New Dawn is on sale now.
Hera wasn't about to bring her ship into the Cyndan mining complex for an unauthorized landing. Joining the convoy, however, had gotten her close, and once out of sight of the Star Destroyer, she'd parked in orbit. Her ship's small excursion vessel had taken her the rest of the way to a little maintenance outbuilding on the surface.
She'd studied just enough about the mining trade to know what to pretend to be: a maintenance tech for bulk–loader droids. The rest she'd thought up on the spot.
"This is the wrong entrance," the guy inside the airlock had said.
"Oh, gosh, I'm sorry. It's my first day, and I'm late!"
"And where's your badge?"
"I forgot. Can you believe it? My first day!"
The man had believed it, letting her pass with a smile that said he hoped she'd keep making wrong turns in the future. People of several different species found Hera appealing to look at, and she was happy to put that to use for a good cause.
But as she walked carefully through the mining complex, she increasingly realized how difficult that cause had become. Gorse and Cynda produced a strategic material for the Empire, yes, but they were well away from the galactic center. And yet Hera spied one surveillance cam after another—-including several that the workers clearly weren't intended to see. If Coruscant–level security had made it out to the Rim worlds, that would make any action against the Empire all the more difficult.
Another good reason to visit my friend on Gorse after this, she thought, darting lithely beneath the viewing arc of another secret cam. A rendezvous with any mystery informant was dangerous; she'd learned that quickly enough in her short career as an activist. But her contact had proven knowledge of Imperial surveillance capabilities, and she'd need that to get to the important stuff, later on.
Finding out more about Count Vidian's methods, though, she'd have to do through old–fashioned skulking. He was on Cynda now, she knew: She'd seen him once already from afar, passing through the caverns with a tour group. It was tough to get closer. The transparent crystal columns were pretty to look at but lousy cover.
Darting through an isolated side passage, she thought she'd found a shortcut to get ahead of him. Instead, she found something else.
"Halt!" A stormtrooper appeared at the end of the corridor, his blaster raised.
Hera stopped in her tracks. "I'm sorry," she said, putting her hand to her chest and exhaling. "You scared me!"
"Who are you?"
"I work here," she said, approaching as if nothing was wrong. "I may be in the wrong place. It's my first day." She smiled.
"Where's your badge?"
"I forgot." Dark eyes looked down demurely, then back up. "Can you believe it? My first day!"
The stormtrooper studied her for a moment—-and then saw the blaster she was wearing. She moved before he did, delivering a high kick that knocked the blaster from the startled stormtrooper's hands. Seeing his weapon clatter away, he lunged for it. She easily sidestepped him—-and pivoted, leaping onto the armored man's back. Losing purchase on the crystalline floor, he stumbled, her full weight driving his head into the side wall. His helmet cracked loudly against the surface, and he slumped motionless to the ground.
"Sorry," Hera whispered over the fallen trooper's shoulder. "Charm doesn't work on everyone."

Today's retail associates have more selling tools at their disposal than ever before — not the least of which is the increasingly popular tablet. The mobile device has taken not only front-of-house selling to new levels but has added efficiencies and enhanced employee productivity to back-of-house functions as well. Chain Store Age talked with Mike Stinson, VP marketing of Motion Computing, about the trend toward tablets.
What are some of the most prevalent uses of tablets in the retail environment?
The most obvious is assisted selling. For example, today's customer may have a smartphone, will have done comparative shopping in advance of the store visit, and then will enter the store in search of a specific product. The tablet enables the associate to provide that customer with additional information and features.
How does the associate best utilize the tablet in that selling situation?
Imagine presenting that customer — via a media-rich tool with a 10-in. display — with product accessories, side-by-side comparisons, information about what inventory is in stock, what pricing specials might be in play, and what kinds of warranties or rebates are available. What's more, the associate can swipe the customer's loyalty card and see what additional value can be provided.
Do you have a real-life example of a tablet being utilized for selling?
We have a retail furnishings customer currently involved in a tablet pilot. Using the tablet means that retailers' sales associates don't have to abandon customers to retrieve catalog information from the backroom. An associate can remain with the customer, pull up additional information about, for instance, a couch she is looking at, show the different colors the couch comes in, show various cushion selections and display accompanying pieces such as end tables.
In this scenario, the likelihood of completing the sale goes up and the average ticket increases as well.
What is generating the most interest among retailers?
No question that it's the mobile POS, whether for line busting or personalized transactions. A major wireless carrier is using the tablet in its stores to reduce wait time and increase sales floor efficiency. High-end department stores use the tablet to allow associates to follow the sale through to transaction completion without passing the customer to another employee. Again, this is expected to increase the average revenue per transaction, as well as the close rate for each employee.
How widespread do you think the use of tablets will become?
Our numbers are showing at least 70% of retailers are evaluating tablets for deployment right now. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution, though. There are so many different work flows in a store — selling, managing, security and more — but my prediction is that there will be at least one flow in every store using a tablet within the next 18 months.
Compare the PC-based tablet with other operating systems on the market today.
The Windows-based tablets have the advantage in ease of integration and deployment because they are running existing operating systems and applications. Because other operating systems are targeted at consumers, they may seem more user-friendly. But they are generally optimized for media consumption and not for the data crunching and multi-processing required in a retail business environment.
What are the security issues with regard to mobile payment transactions?
There are three-day seminars on this topic. But the long and short of it is there is nothing really unique about a mobile tablet payment processing function versus taking payment at a fixed terminal. Retailers should look for devices that come with integrated security features, such as the Trusted Platform Module and MagTek or Merchant Link's built-in encryption, which provide secure information management and enhanced data and business protection.
There are also many software solutions, such as Computrace from Absolute Software.

Potpourri blog: A waterspout (almost), strange radar blob, wind microclimates
As Western Washington finally gets a chance to wring out after what was a record wet March 16 and may soon be a record-wet March in general (7.69" of rain so far this month; record is 8.40") there's a few interesting weather tidbits of late I wanted to highlight.
First, let's start with the thunderstorm that rolled through the Whidbey Island/Snohomish County areas on Friday. It brought some lightning and hail, but did you know it almost brought us a waterspout as well?
As the strong storm formed just to the west of Whidbey Island, radar did indicate some weak rotation was present in the clouds. Luckily Greg Johnson of has 2 HD cameras constantly recording his view to the north and the cell was going to drift right across center stage.
So we watched eagerly for any signs of rotation, but nothing obvious came about and the storm went on to dust Edmonds with some hail and then fizzled.
But Johnson went back over the video and found something that did show rotation and the inklings of a waterspout, and other local meteorologists agree it was likely an infant stage waterspout that never got going.
I've posted a still shot and then the video below. It's not the most obvious thing in the world, but notice the sea spray in the middle and the rotating clouds above it. The spray is likely the start of the funneling winds.
And here is the video:
As I said, not the most exciting thing ever but a reminder that tornadoes and waterspouts, while quite rare here, are not unheard of! And March and April are our prime times as we get frequent unstable air masses as the result of spring warmth starting to battle with lingering winter chills.
What Strong Winds?
Chris Hodgkin wrote me a puzzled email this morning wondering why the Port Townsend to Keystone ferries were canceled for much of Monday morning due to strong winds and heavy seas while it was nearly calm just up the waters a bit at his San Juan Islands home.
Further research revealed that winds at the Keystone Ferry Terminal were nearly calm through the morning, while similar calm conditions were reported in some part of the Port Townsend area, but not others, and one gauge out farther into the water on the Coupeville side reported consistent gusts of 30-45 mph through the morning.
We had some moderately strong winds pushing west down the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the wake of Sunday's storm and they get accelerated a bit when they try to squeeze through the narrow gap in terrain between Port Townsend and Whidbey Island.
Here is a map of where some of the wind gauges are so you can see this effect (using A,B,C and D instead of their actual codes like "E4723" for ease of keeping track):
And here is the link to the wind speeds that morning:
* Station A
* Station B
* Station C (Pt. Wilson)
* Station D
(Note Station B is on the south side of a little inlet providing some buffer for a NW wind.)
Station A was in the 10-15 mph range Monday morning, while Station B was in the 5-15 mph range yet Station C and Coupeville were 30-45 mph, Station D was around 20, and the Keystone Terminal was nearly calm. All within roughly 8 miles of each other! Another example of our area's crazy topography and microclimates.
Why does radar always show it's raining off Hoquiam?
Had a few question on this one. If you look at the radar image this morning, you'll see a strange return near Hoquiam that never seems to move:
That occurs when we have heavy surf off the coast near Westport -- the waves are sending radar signals back to the nearby radar at Langley Hill and tricking it into thinking it's raining there.

Britney and Kevin
We just asked for pics of Britney and Kevin together and finally some appear. Apparently they are at some studio where Kevin is working hard on his Eminem-like album. They hung out for over an hour in what looks like a very unhappy get together. There were no smiles, no kisses, no hugs. Poor Britney. Why did she decide to have this guy's baby?
Lots more so

text: First off, I am new to the forum, but I am enjoying it so far. Anyway, I know there are somewhere around a bajillion threads like this, I can't find a direct answer. I am looking for a turn based, class system (fighter, wizard, ranger, etc.) game for my Galaxy S3. I am an avid D and D 4e player, and I want to have a similar game on my mobile device. Free would be nice, but I'm willing to pay for a good game. I'm not usually a big fan of online MMORPG's simply because they seem too structured compared to the paper and dice I'm used to. Kinda why I went from iPhone to Android. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

New Delhi: Raising concerns over a "increasing tendency" of people to take offence, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday criticised successive governments which instead of safeguarding freedom of expression, tend to appease those threatening it. Tharoor, who was delivering the foundation day lecture of the Sahitya Akademi, also wondered if he would have got away with publishing a work like his 1989 book 'The Great Indian Novel' — in which he "takes liberties" with nationalist heroes and satirises Mahabharat itself — in the present day. "I wonder if that book was published today whether I would get away with it. I think it would be far more difficult to get away with it," he said.
"I think it would be ridiculous for someone to try and ban it now when it has been around for 26 years. But a new book with something similar could well run afoul of the moral policing we are seeing increasingly in our society," he said.
In a lighter vein, Tharoor added that politicians in those days either did not read, or genuinely had a broader mind and a willingness to accept the liberty being taken with the "so-called sacrosanct heroes of mythology and history." "The tendency of people to claim to be offended has grown dramatically. Certainly it is much worse than when I wrote 'The Great Indian Novel' where I took liberties both with the nationalist heroes and with the Mahabharat itself," he said.
The Congress leader said it was important to stand up and fight for freedom of expression even though it was not easy to do so with politicians preferring to appease those who threaten peace and break down law and order.
"Very often those who threaten to disrupt the peace, to break down law and order, the politicians tend to run to appease them, rather then say that they will defend the right to freedom of expression of the writer and will instead act against those who threaten that freedom.
"The instinct of politicians and many state governments has been to go off and curb the book or the work of art in order to preserve the peace. And I think this is a lack of courage of successive governments that I personally rather deplore," the former Union minister said.
During the lecture on "Anxiety of Audience: The dilemma of Indian writing in English", Tharoor also spoke on the role of English literature in acting as a link to reach out to a linguistically diverse audience. "The English language fundamentally affects the content of each book. But it does not determine the audience of the writer. Because as long as the translations exist, language is a vehicle not a destination," he said.

Algeria: 37 foreign hostages and 29 Islamist militants killed in seige
ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) - Algeria announced a new death toll Monday from the four-day siege at a natural gas plant, saying that 37 foreign hostages and 29 Islamist militants were killed. A Canadian was reported among those who took hundreds of workers hostage.
A U.S. official said that two more Americans have been declared dead in Algeria, bringing the death toll to three Americans--seven made it out.{ }The official said Monday that the FBI had recovered the bodies of the Americans and notified their families. The official had no details on how the Americans died. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
One Algerian worker was also killed, another five foreign workers are still unaccounted for and three attackers were captured, Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal told reporters at a press conference in Algiers, the capital.
At least one Canadian was among the al-Qaida-linked militants that attacked the remote plant in the Sahara desert and kidnapped scores of workers, he said. The attackers also included men from Egypt, Mali, Niger, Mauritania and Tunisia, as well as three Algerians, he said. He did not say whether the Canadian was alive or dead.
He said a number of the hostages had been found killed by a bullet to the head.
The press conference was the government's first effort to provide a coherent narrative of events of the four-day standoff that transfixed the world after al-Qaida-linked militants raided a natural gas plant and took hundreds of workers hostage.
The prime minister said the heavily armed militants came from neighboring Mali carrying a great deal of explosives and mined the facility. They had prepared the attack for two months.
Sellal justified the Algerian military helicopter attack Thursday on vehicles at the plant filled with hostages and Islamists, saying that his forces feared the kidnappers were attempting to escape.
The Algerian special forces assault on the refinery on Saturday that killed the last group of militants and hostages came after the kidnappers attempted to destroy the complex.
The operation was led by an Algerian, Amine Benchenab, who was known to security services, he added.

It is possible that the main title of the report Valinemia is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Valinemia is a very rare metabolic disorder. It is characterized by elevated levels of the amino acid valine in the blood and urine caused by a deficiency of the enzyme valine transaminase. This enzyme is needed in the breakdown (metabolism) of valine. Infants with valinemia usually have a lack of appetite, vomit frequently, and fail to thrive. Low muscle tone (hypotonia) and hyperactivity also occur.
The breakdown of valine involves at least seven stages and a deficiency of the appropriate enzyme at any of these stages leads to a disorder of varying severity and rarity.

Kaka: It was ''essential'' for me to stay with Milan
Brazilian star Kaka believes it was ''essential'' he stayed at AC Milan after being wanted by Manchester City, while he has also played down talk of a summer move to Real Madrid.
City - backed by the wealth of owners the Abu Dhabi United Group - tried to sign the playmaker during January's transfer window for a world record fee of around £109m. The player pledged his future to the San Siro club and now claims he made the right decision, while also cooling suggestions he will join Real in the summer amid reports in Spain.
"I said 'no' to the offer from Manchester City because I think I will have lots of success here with AC Milan," Kaka told Hungarian sports daily Nemzeti Sport. "After I've received so much from Milan it was essential for me to stay.
"It's hard to say anything about the future because football is, a little bit, the game of the moment, so I can just talk about my present feelings. I like this team, I love the city and I'd like to play football here for a long time.
"Real Madrid is an amazing team with outstanding players, but I'd never say that I want to leave Milan."
There have been claims that Milan's ageing squad requires a major overhaul, but Kaka does not feel the club's experienced players should be consigned to the scrapheap.
He added: "There's no controversy, this is normal that players are coming and going at any club.
"I think it is important to build Milan on the players who have been playing here for a long time, but sometimes a new impulse is needed.
"Maldini, Pirlo, Ambrosini and Gattuso are the most influential players in the team. I think Ambrosini or Gattuso will be the new team captain after Maldini retires. Of course, I hope very much that some time I'll wear the armband."

The ABC's of HVAC
Our business of providing heating, cooling and ventilating services entails a number of cumbersome acronyms. We try our best to explain things to our customers in plain language, but inevitably an alphabet soup will pop up in product literature. Here is an explanation of some of the common acronyms you will encounter pertaining to energy efficiency.
AFUE – Customers sometimes snicker a bit when they encounter "Aw Phooey," but those letters are a key to gauging the energy efficiency of furnaces, boilers and water heaters. They stand for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. AFUE measures season-long useful energy output to energy input, expressed as a percentage. The higher the AFUE rating, the greater the efficiency. AFUE and the other efficiency standards that follow are mandated by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) regulations in accordance with their testing protocols. Currently, the minimum AFUE standard for most types of heating equipment is 80%, meaning 80% of the fuel you burn goes to useful heat. The most efficient furnaces have AFUE ratings of more than 95%. Ancient furnaces may operate at around 60% AFUE or less. Replacing one of those old clunkers with an 80% or greater unit can rapidly pay for itself through lower heating bills.
SEER – This stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and whereas AFUE measures heating efficiency, SEER applies to the cooling efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps. It is derived by measuring the total cooling output in Btu provided during normal annual usage divided by its total energy input in watt-hours. SEER ratings are expressed in whole numbers and decimals rather than percentages.
As with AFUE, the higher the SEER the more efficient the product. DOE requires a minimum SEER rating of 14.0 (raised from 13.0 as of 2015) and HVAC equipment is available with SEER ratings several
points above 20. Older equipment may be as low as 8.0 SEER. Theoretically, you can cut your fuel bills by almost 43% replacing an 8.0 SEER piece of equipment with one rated at 14.0.
HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) is used to measure the heating efficiency of heat pumps, which also will have a SEER rating for their cooling performance. Heat pumps manufactured since the beginning of 2015 are required to have a minimum HSPF of 8.2, and the most efficient units have an HSPF of 13.
As with DOE's miles-per-gallon ratings for vehicles, actual performance of heating and cooling equipment may vary considerably from their ratings depending on operational variables. One of the most important considerations is making sure that components of a system (furnace/condenser/ductwork/controls, etc.) match up well with one another. If not, the system will not reach its peak efficiency.
Proper installation and regular servicing are also of crucial importance. The National Comfort Institute estimates that most HVAC systems operate at only 57% of potential capacity due to installation mistakes. It pays to hire the most professional installation and service contractor you can find. We're confident you'll find that's us.

Wenger expecting Arshavin stay
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has said that he expects to keep Russian forward Andrei Arshavin next season, despite reports linking him with a move away from the club.
• Wenger expects Fabregas stay
• Miyaichi under Wenger microscope
• Lehmann hints at Arsenal stay
Arshavin has struggled to impress at the Emirates this season, with Zenit St Petersburg admitting they would welcome their former star - rated at £15 million - back with open arms if he was to leave in the summer.
With Wenger needing to improve his squad if Arsenal are to break their six-year trophy drought in 2011-12, many suggested that Arshavin would be used to raise funds for new arrivals.
However, earlier in the day the French boss was adamant that the club would not part with captain Cesc Fabregas, and was similarly bullish about Arshavin, telling Arsenal TV: "Yes, I expect him to be at Arsenal next season."
Wenger has already begun to think about his transfer targets and is confident that Arsenal are still an attractive prospect because of the kind of football they play.
"If you speak about the quality of the club and the style of football we play we have many offers on the table for players who are desperate to join us," he said. "[But] if you speak only about money, we are certainly less attractive than some other teams."

WORCESTER City Council is today stuck on tenterhooks - with its fate set to be decided by a lone Green Party politician after a gripping night at the polls.
The aftermath of yesterday's dramatic local election results means Councillor Neil Laurenson will ultimately be able to strike a make-or-break deal over which major party controls Worcester.
The outcome will impact on people across the city - including everything from how much council tax you pay next year to issues like car parking charges and bin collections.
Labour, the Conservatives, Green Party and lone Lib Dem Councillor Liz Smith are now preparing to have tense cross-party talks in a bid to reach a conclusive outcome after the council was left hung.
The one Conservative gain in Claines has now left the main opposition party on 17 councillors, one more than the ruling Labour group, with Tory Councillor Simon Geraghty last night claiming they should be allowed to form an administration.
His call was backed up by Worcester MP Robin Walker, who says the Tories now "have a mandate" to wrestle back control from Labour.
It can only be achieved by striking a deal with either Cllr Laurenson or Cllr Smith - and neither are ruling out switching sides ahead of a crunch full council meeting on Tuesday, June 3.
Your Worcester News can reveal how Cllr Laurenson has prepared a 'wish list' he wants to show both Labour and the Tories before making his mind up.
It includes resisting privatising services, giving households free home insulation and opening up the Guildhall to groups who want to hold political debates.
"I'm prepared to talk to both the Tories and Labour to see what they are prepared to offer," he said.
"I anticipated this could happen so I've got a list which is more extensive than in 2012 - very broadly it's based on keeping as many services in-house as possible and where they are commissioned (handed to other providers), to do it locally.
"But we've got other things to discuss too - we want a fair hearing from both sides."
Cllr Smith, who dumped the Tories one year ago to back a new Labour council, said she was prepared to have "an open line of communication" with both sides.
"I'm not saying I won't talk to the Conservatives - I'll keep those lines open," she said.
Cllr Geraghty said: "We are open minded - this could go right up to June 3rd.
"We are now the largest party again, we won the popular vote - I'll be seeking to speak to all party leaders and reach out to them to see if we can form an administration."
Labour figures were locked in early private talks yesterday before deciding its strategy.
But Councillor Adrian Gregson, city council leader, said: "We will talk to whoever is prepared to talk to us.
"There is no evidence the Conservatives have ever reached out to us."

I have a responsive site with an incorporated WordPress Blog:http://www.openrangeimaging.com/blog/
In Firefox and IE when I drag the browser to a narrower width the images do not resize to be smaller with the width:auto rule.
It works as it should in Chrome, Safari and on iphone4.
Some glitch or omission in the responsive media queries or...? I can't seem to figure it out. Any help much appreciated.
Here is another site with incoporated WP blog that I built in almost the same way. It correctly resizes and is responsive, including the images, in all 4 browsers. Not sure why this one works and the one above has the problem.http://grayheadowner.com/blog/
any help much appreciated.
I am still stumped and pleading now for help.
I tried adding an image to another static .html/css page and still have the trouble as described in my first post above.http://www.openrangeimaging.com/renderings.html
After examining with firebug it seems that for some reason at the 767 pixel break the @media query rules from the p7cmm-responsive.css are not being applied.
At the 767 pixel break the @media query rules from the p7cmm-responsive.css and the image sizing in the link above works as it should in Chrome and Safari and on my iphone4 but not in Firefox or IE.
What is odd is that I have a copy of the site on my localhost and the p7cmm-responsive.css rules do get applied and the image re-sizes at the 767 and narrower break point as it should on all 4 browsers (FF, IE, Chrome, Safari).
I cannot figure out what is wrong. Any help or trouble shooting advice will be greatly appreciated.
I replaced my online version with the version I had on my localhost. That has fixed the problem. (I thought they were identical but apparently not).
So problem resolved. thanks to any who read and considered this.
Sorry I missed your post but glad you managed to sort the problem yourself and thanks for documenting the fix

NJ Downtown Fights to retain vitality
You have to read down to about graf 10 before you get to the parking part. This community lobbied its government to do away with parking requirements and "in lieu" parking fees. To wit:
Last fall, Red Bank suspended a parking fee charged to applicants who lacked sufficient parking on their property. Waiving the requirement, which had been in place for 15 years, could save a high-volume use, like a restaurant, from $40,000 to $50,000 for that fee, estimated Mayor Pasquale "Pat" Menna. The fee moratorium ends this year, unless officials decide economic conditions warrant an extension. "Any reduction in cost to open a new business is welcome," said Nancy Adams, executive director of the River Center business alliance in Red Bank.
This is Shoupista 101. The city had been charging fees to new businesses who didn't have "enough" parking, that is to meet the code requirements. But that's the thing, isn't it. If the goal is to be sure there is enough parking when the restaurant replaces the hardware store, paying a fee instead of providing the parking doesn't seem to do it. The city justifies it by saying that it will use the money to provide extra parking, but get real, they seldom do.
If they wanted to do so, and really needed the parking, a parking district, where onstreet parking fees were used to provide perhaps an off street lot might be in order. The wise business people of Red Bank, New Jersey saw through the scam and demanded action to save their community. Let's face it, if a merchant could reduce the costs of opening a store by $50 grand a year, wouldn't that be helpful in enticing them to locate in that empty building on Main Street?
Way to Go Read Bank.

Cannot set native resolution (1920x1080) on Intel 82945G/GZ
I've just bought new 22" monitor Philips 222EL (1920x1080), but I have problems with setting it's native resolution. Highest one is 1600x1200.
I've got integrated graphical controller - Intel 82945G/GZ (128MB memory thought), but X.server keeps complaining on "exceeded video memory" when I try to set virtual size to 1920x1080.
Here is the error message:
[ 6411.133] (EE) VESA(0): Virtual size (1920x1080) (pitch 1920) exceeds video memory
And here is output from xrandr:
I will appreciate any answer. Thank you.
Just to be sure, did you check if the amount of memory available to the graphics chip is not limited through the BIOS?
Yes, I have checked it. There were three options, but I don't remember the values (one of them is 128MB and the second one is 225MB - thought.) I have chosen the biggest option available. That's why I don't understand why it doesn't work.. :/
I'll see what else I can find, but heres the 2 possible problems-
Intel 945G/GZ Express Chipsets datasheet-
See page 28, GMCH Graphics Support Includes-> 3D Graphics Rendering Enhancements-> Maximum 3D Reslution Suppotred 1600x1200 @ 85Hz.
I dont know if you are running in 3D or not. If not, you may be able to get a higher resolution, but then again, you may not-
Thank you for reply. However, it's solved now. The problem was elsewhere - on archlinux wiki. Adding "i915" to MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf solved everything. I hope that one day I finally find out, what the abbreviation "RTFM" means...
But thank you for the ideas. I really appreciate it.

Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana, and Others Join Guillermo del Toro's Animated Comedy
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana, Diego Luna, and Christina Applegate will star in Book of Life, an animated feature from the twisted mind of Guillermo del Toro.
Jorge Gutierrez is directing Book of Life, which centers around Manolo, a young man who embarks on an incredible adventure that spans three fantastical worlds, where he must brave his biggest fears.
The cast also includes Ice Cube, Kate del Castillo, Ron Perlman (duh!), and a bevy of actors including Cheech Marin, Hector Elizondo, Placido Domingo, and Ana de la Reguera. Given the cast and the information released about the film, it seems that the feature is going to have a rich Latin flair. It is also being reported that the film will offer a fresh take on current pop songs.
Del Toro is known for his ability to create impressive and imaginative visuals with gothic undertones. We're excited to see what a visionary director can do with a full-length animated movie, especially after watching his creepy Simpsons opener that still has us checking under the couch for monsters. Even though del Toro is only producing, we're positive that his vision and influence will spill into all aspects of production.

Seven teams reportedly interested in Nick Swisher
Free-agent outfielder Nick Swisher is attracting interest from at least six teams according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
The Mariners, Orioles, Phillies, Giants, Braves and Nationals are all believed to have some level of interest. Several teams seem willing to go to at least three years, with the likely salary figure estimated to be in the $11 million to $13 million range. With so many teams possibly interested there's a very good chance he'll be able to get at least a four-year deal.
A source told the New York Daily News that at least five teams -- including the Mariners and Rangers -- have expressed interest in Swisher.three Yankees to reject the team's qualifying offers

Boys Basketball: Austin reigns over Red Wing
AUSTIN, Minn. – The last echoes of the Star Spangled Banner were still bouncing off the walls of Austin High School's gymnasium when Ty Buck hit a 3-pointer to open the scoring of Friday's highly anticipated matchup between two top-five Class 3A teams.
The raucous crowd, nearly all dressed in Packer red, were silenced. It would be the last time there was any concern for anyone backing Austin.
Gach Gach, Austin's 6-foot-4 junior forward, hit back-to-back 3-pointers moments later to put the Packers up for good. Ajuda Nywesh, the game's leading scorer with 21 points, sunk his first shot from downtown before a Zach Wessels field goal forced Red Wing head coach Doug Toivonen to call a timeout.
Try as they might, the third-ranked Wingers were unable to completely recover from that start in a 53-37 loss to the fifth-ranked Packers.
Red Wing, who had not lost a game this season prior to visiting Austin, shot 30 percent from the field, including 6 of 26 in the second half. The Wingers hit five 3-pointers, but missed 16. Taking into account the poor shooting, and the sluggish start, one would think the coach would take some positives from the game. Namely, with such a bad night coming against a ranked team, Red Wing trailed by only seven points late in the game.
Toivonen dismissed that notion immediately.
"We're too good of a team to have a silver lining on a game-night like tonight," Toivonen said. "If we have a bunch of sophomores and juniors, that's one thing. But we've got a pretty experienced group, and we just didn't play very well. That's the bottom line. We didn't make enough shots. Even though we were within seven, they were never nervous. We never made a run that I thought that they had to really play."
In addition to the shooting woes, Austin slowed the game down toward the end of the first half. The Wingers had no answer for a Packers' offense that usually is employed late in games.
"They really kind of took the air out of the ball and really limited possessions in the second half," Toivonen continued. "And we just didn't get enough possessions or didn't get any momentum going to get back into it. It's frustrating because I thought we started off so terrible. Who would know you would get behind by 10 right away and it would just stay that way the whole game. But that's our own fault for starting off so poorly."
With nine turnovers in the first half, Red Wing did themselves few favors even prior to getting a shot up. When it seemed like the Wingers were ready to make a late run, after Buck hit another 3-pointer to make it 44-37 with less than three minutes to play, Gach hit his own 3-pointer on the Packers' next trip down the floor. Austin then hit all six free-throw attempts down the stretch to put the game away.
Should the two teams meet again, it is expected to be in the Section 1AAA championship game. And if they do, Toivonen and his staff will be prepared for an offense that caught them off guard.
"Get ahead," Toivonen said about how to combat the frozen-molasses tempo the Packers showed. "I'm serious. I was a little surprised that they would play that way. They can do whatever they want to, obviously they're very good. But I was a little surprised they weren't more aggressive. I don't know if that had to do with them being ahead by 10 and that was just the way they wanted to play or what. But obviously we would have to take a look at that. If they were to do that again, we would have to have some kind of adjustment. I'm just surprised they didn't play at a faster pace … But that's their prerogative. With a 10-point lead, I might have done the same thing."
Ben Miller led the Wingers with 10 points while Buck finished with nine. No other Winger scored more than four points. Gach ended the game with 10 points and Wessels with nine.
Red Wing (7-1) will next face Waseca (8-1) at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 27 in the first game of the Owatonna Tournament. Owatonna and North St. Paul play immediately after the Wingers. The two losers will meet the following day at 6 p.m. The two winners will play Saturday at approximately 7:30 p.m.

It is sort of an informal challenge in which she requires only that you read at least one of her (JP's) books this year!
I think I posted about my progress in reading her books here recently. I absolutely love her books which I started reading in 2005 with My Sister's Keeper. I continued to read her books and now buy them whenever they come out. In 2008, my mom, sister, and I drove over to St. Petersburg to attend a luncheon/ book signing that she was at for her Change of Heart tour. I believe my sister and mom have read all of her books, and I am aiming for that goal. But sometimes I get comfortable with challenges and never do them, lol! I have had a "goal" of completing all her books for the last 2 years and never got around to it. So in 2010, I will!
Here are what I have left to read:
- Songs of the Humpback Whale (1992)
- Harvesting the Heart (1993)
- Plain Truth (1999)
- Second Glance (2003)
- House Rules (2010)
