Lectures and knowledge on the demand anywhere by students – iTunes U Concept
Mobile Learning and iTunes U – Thinking outside the classroom
Learning no longer happens only in the classroom. Students demand constant access to information and knowledge, no matter where they are. As a contribution to this, academic institutions are beginning to use iTunes U sites to distribute digital lessons to their students. This is the pioneer concept developed by Apple. However, we are waiting for others to follow up with their version of this, as more gadgets are being able to perform same things as iPhone and iPodTouch products are. However, learning from what Apple has done so far and offer the public of services and possibilities, makes it interesting to see how academic institutions have approached this concept and what their experience is with it so far.
First a little about Mobile Learning
Students are already coming to school with portable computers and devices such as an iPhone and iPod in their hand. So they're used to gathering information on the web, getting their email, watching lectures, getting directions, or pinpointing exactly where their friends are — anytime and anywhere.
Now they can learn anytime and anywhere, too. As educators all over the world are discovering, mobile learning works. Students devour engaging, customized curricula when it's delivered on the iPod or iPhone. It's a familiar and essential part of their lives. Audio and video podcasts let students study at their own pace, wherever and whenever they want.
Then how Apple Makes Mobile Learning Happen
From portable computers and mobile devices to software and servers to iTunes U, Apple makes all the technology you need to make mobile learning a reality for your students.
Teachers are using iLife and iWork applications on the Mac to create customized educational materials, such as language lessons that students can listen to outside the classrooms. With the help of Podcast Producer and Wiki Server — both of which come with Mac OS X Server — IT department at the academic institution can help produce and distribute all kinds of multimedia content on iTunes U or a class wiki. Once the classroom presentations and lectures have been captured and published, students can download them from iTunes. Then they can transfer them to iPod or iPhone and take it all with them. And suddenly, any place can be a place to learn.
Concept from Apple is either Internal iTunes U Site
If you want to allow access only to members of your institution, you can host your own password-protected iTunes U site. This enables you to create and manage the content available on the site, while controlling who can access and download resources from it.
Because administrative access is integrated with Apple ID, it's easy to set up and manage your site, and you can add more Apple ID accounts to share site management responsibilities. Or you can integrate with your identity management systems to scale out management and access to hundreds or thousands of users. By default, iTunes U supports Shibboleth (the standards-based, open source authentication system), or you can create customized transfer scripts to integrate with popular authentication systems, including Kerberos, LDAP, Active Directory, and others. Apple also provides templates you can customize with your own branding, and you can use tools such as RSS to easily add and remove content. To ensure compatibility, the media you provide should be in: AAC, MP3, MPEG-4, or PDF format.
Apple also offer the opportunity to make External iTunes U Site
You also have the option of making your course material available to all iTunes visitors — alongside content created by other institutions. External sites are also a great recruitment tool, offering an inexpensive way to explain the benefits your institution has to offer. With an open iTunes U presence, your institution will gain recognition, and a competitive edge, as you reach out and share your knowledge with the world. Media should be in AAC, MP3, MPEG-4, or PDF format. As with internal sites, administrative access is controlled via Apple ID, and you can add more accounts to share site management responsibilities. Apple templates let you incorporate your own branding, and you can request browse/search integration to make it easier for visitors to find your content on iTunes and to extend the reach of the content you post. External iTunes U sites are not just available to universities. Many museums, public broadcasting stations, and state education organizations also make education content available to the world through iTunes U in the iTunes Store.
Some academic institutions have made a Mix of Both
Many schools choose to create both an internal site with a greater amount of course materials available exclusively to enrolled students with a user account and password; and an external site that provides a publicly accessible subset of those resources.
Some Examples of Academic Institutions present with their iTunes U sites
Carnegie Mellon University
Oxford University
Cambridge University
Open University
Stanford University
Texas A&M
Arizona IDEAL

What we notice, is that most institutions made this available to public are in the U.S.A. However, there are other institutions other places around the globe that has taken this concept into their arms. We will cover this in another article later.

As elegant as moving Apps is in the iPhone and iPod touch interface is, I always find myself frustrated that there's no easy option to manage this inside iTunes. This is the interface I'd love to see on iTunes for handling apps, please leave a comment!.

245 Scientific iTune U sites available on the iTunes – A massive effort to bring training to everyone, anywhere?
245 Scientific iTune U sites available on the iTunes – A massive effort to bring training to everyone, anywhere?
In 2007, Apple launched a new version of the iTunes Music Store which included an iTunes U link and 16 colleges whose podcasts can be accessed directly from the iTunes application.
In 2008 iTunes U was made open to "educational" organizations that are not universities, like the "Beyond Campus" area from the NY Public Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and others.
In 2008 the amount of schools partnered with Apple, Inc. to use iTunes U grew to a substantial amount as seen below.
NJIT on iTunes U information & launch page Bowdoin College Penn State on iTunes U Stanford on iTunes U Duke Digital Initiative – Open Duke University's Fuqua School of Business Harvard Extension School University of California at Berkeley Sacramento State Arizona State University Texas A&M Ross School of Business at U of Michigan Santa Monica College University of California at Berkeley Queens University (Canada) Wellesley College Georgia College and State University Rollins College Radford College Gordon College Lafayette College Virginia Tech Guilford Tech Community College Concordia Seminary Otis College of Art & Design College of William & Mary Villanova University Florida Tech Ohlone College Texas Tech Wilkes University Seattle Pacific University Abilene Christian University Reformed Theological Seminary Southwestern College University of Michigan Vanderbilt University New Mexico State University Agnes Scott College Aquinas Institute of Theology East Tennessee State University UC – Davis University of Washington University of Wisconsin Milwaukee
James Welsh has created a wiki of participating schools at itunesu.pbwiki.com/
In 2009 there is a more extensive list of academic institutions available on the iTunes U site. Itunes U was opened up for non-academic institutions as well, which gave room for many more iTunes U sites.
You can look into the link below, which will provide you with the iTunes U main site and will give you all details regarding content in the iTunes U world of iTunes.
At the moment (April 2009) there are 177 academic institutions available on iTunes U sites.
The list of these sites can be found at;
In addition there are 12 different K-12 projects online in iTunes U.
And we can find 56 museums, foundations scientific institutions.
There has been an explosion in iTunes U sites in the last 6 months time.
All in all, there are 245 iTune U sites with scientific purposes at writing of this article (April 2009).
There are today 33 different categories of iTunes U sites available, which covers a large range of interests.
It is fair to say that iTunes U has caught on and become a signifcant information and knowledge database for various purposes. What remains to be seen is whether these sites are being utilized and that they have the effect it was intended for.
There has been published very little information about statistics of usage of these sites and how much people are actually using the material available to them.
Another aspect to these sites, are its ease to find information, as the search engine in iTunes U is not optimal for search about material you need to find information about.
The concept of iTunes U is nice, and it has potential. If it can be combined effectively with the makings of serious applications for the iPhone, iPodTouch or its like, then we will see a larger potential than today. Being able to do various experiments or interactive training, combined with the electronic distribution of material will create a new scenario, which will have the potential to reach a larger crowd.
There are at the moment over 30,000 applications already developed for the iPhone and iPodTouch. The technology does not stop advancing and this is just another way technology opens up methods of delivery of content, information and knowledge. Podcasts are, by now, common ways of delivering sound, but it's not graphical or interactive.
Several University are offering free training on various topics and the list seems to be exploding.
You can just download a training module to your iTunes, which most of us have that at home, don't we?
All it takes is for some enterprising organisation to develop some advanced learning applications for the iPhone and we have the new ultimate in distributed digital learning and it's in your pocket.
Students could download tools we have developed, from the corporate iTunes server, to receive training, information updates or any other packages that we consider to be useful to their learning. After all, hand-held devices are being used increasingly in the production, field domain.

Hey guys, I've been bashing my head into the wall over this for the last two hours.
I have two images, both of which have a width of 600px. Their container has a min-width of 600, and a max-width of 990. Both images are positioned 50px outside of the container, and I want one image to overlay the other, to create a line that will expand as the user resizes their browser. However, I can't get them to overlap, as they just break the container.
See http://www.leafspirit.com for what I'm talking about.
Here is the CSS for the divs containing the images
width: 600px;
height: 220px;
z-index: 1000;
left: -50px;
position: relative;
#branding {
width: 600px;
height: 200px;
z-index: 1001;
right: -50px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but it sounds like you'd be better off using background images. For example, have one image as a background on #headerWrapper, and the other on #headerBG. Whichever you want to sit underneath when they overlap, but that on #headerWrapper. You could align one to the left and one to the right.
That should work nicely.
Thanks for the response!
I thought of that, except when I apply one of them as a background, since the positioning is negative, part of them gets cut off, and I couldn't manage to fix that problem either. Tried applying overflow: visible and everything else I could think of. Starting to have fantasies of laptopicide at this point.
EDIT: as for what I'm trying to do. I want the headerBG image to stay on the left when the page is resized, and the branding image to stay on the right, and as the page is resized, the line between them will expand and contract.
Ok, I guess disregard this question. Apparently all it took was adding position: relative to the wrapper class. I didn't think I had to explicitly define it as such, but then I've been working with CSS for all of 2 days.
Not sure what you mean by that. There's no need for any "negative" positioning.
I want the headerBG image to stay on the left when the page is resized, and the branding image to stay on the right, and as the page is resized, the line between them will expand and contract.
It's doing that now, as far as I can see. It's just that the page can't expand much because of the max-width that's set (which isn't very wide).
Ah, I see. I was already looking at the updated page. Glad you got what you wanted.
I mean that the images extend 50px outside of the wrapper on either side. I suppose you're right and I could have just set the contentWrapper width to less than the header, but you have to keep in mind that I'm pretty much just winging it the whole way through with a grand total of a weeks worth of web design knowledge that's spread across every possible field. Basically I have very little clue what I'm actually doing and I'm just bashing my head against whatever brick walls I come to until I figure out a way to get what I want. Hence why my max-width is what it is, because I didn't think to do any screen resolution research until yesterday, so I had no clue that almost 80% of web users have resolutions larger than 1024. It's not exactly a big deal though, since the only things I'll have to redo when I change it to something more audience appropriate are the header images, which are placeholders anyway, but I'm too sick of dealing with that particular problem to go spend another 8 hours floundering my way around GIMP right now.
Thanks for the reply!
Well, you've done jolly well for being at it such a short time. Yeah, I didn't realize quite what you were doing. Anyhow, 900px or thereabout is fine for a width, IMHO. I just wondered if you weren't suer why the divs didn't keep expanding.

Bobs Worth (L): In action at the track last season
Bobs Worth aims to emulate Denman by graduating to full company with victory in Saturday's Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Newbury.
The Nicky Henderson-trained Bobs Worth won the RSA Chase in March and is pitched into this ultra-competitive Grade Three handicap on his first start back.
Paul Nicholls followed that plan with Denman in 2007 and he duly completed the big-race double.
Punters will be hoping the ante-post favourite can repeat the trick, despite being saddled with 11st 6b.
"It was always where we were going to start," said Henderson.
"He stays and I think he handles soft ground.
"I'm not worried about his handicap mark as he's not going to go up sitting in his box - I don't think he's particularly well handicapped anyway.
"We do have a preference to go left-handed, so Newbury was the obvious way to go."
Henderson has a second string to his bow in ex-Irish runner Roberto Goldback.
The 10-year-old was initially due to run at Newbury on Friday but the Seven Barrows handler had a late change of heart in midweek and will now let the recent nine-length Ascot winner take his chance.
"The handicapper took a view that he had improved 13lb when he won at Ascot, and that's very nice of him, but we just don't think that is the case," he said.
"That 13lb makes it hard for him, but he stays, he jumps and he gallops."First Lieutenant chased home Bobs Worth at Cheltenham and was eventually beaten two and a half lengths.
He went on to finish third at the Punchestown Festival and has already had two runs this term,
most recently finishing second to Kauto Stone in Grade One company at Down Royal.
Trainer Mouse Morris said: "Bobs Worth is obviously a much shorter price than us.
"Maybe they (bookmakers) are right, but it won't bother me - the horse doesn't know what price he is.
"Ideally we'd like better ground, but then so would he (Bobs Worth), so what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
"I'm very hopeful our horse is going to run a big race.
"He's ready to rock and roll and hopefully the ground is drying out a bit and it isn't going to be too bad.
"There is nowhere else for him to go before the Lexus, so he might as well run as he's in really good fettle at the moment."
Hold On Julio caught the attention of many pundits when a fine third at Cheltenham on his seasonal return.
He disappointed when sent off joint-favourite in Grade Three company at the Cheltenham Festival but trainer Alan King is sweet on his chances this time.
The Barbury Castle handler told his website, www.alankingracing.co.uk: "Hold On Julio represents us on Saturday and is unquestionably the best chance we've had of winning the prestigious handicap.
"He continues to improve, even as he approaches his 10th birthday, and I couldn't be happier with his well-being.
"I was thrilled with his seasonal reappearance at Cheltenham last month and he has come on significantly for that run.
"He's got a nice weight, should handle the ground and gets the trip well.
"In short, he ticks all the boxes and I'm hopeful of a big run."

Twitter tries to block images of James Foley killing
worf Mcallen, TXAug. 22, 2014 1:22 p.m.
In football, speed wins for you.
The world is losing to terrorists because of our lack of speed, and a coach who's golfing during game time.
What's the game plan coach?
Abdulameer Chicago, ILAug. 21, 2014 11:54 a.m.
What a pity that Twitter and YouTube are trying to prevent people from viewing this gruesome video. People have a right to know, and have a need to know, what cruelty is being perpetrated in the name of Islam. This is not the first beheading by Moslems on video, and it won't be the last. In addition to beheading, Moslems have actually be crucifying Christians in Syria. Both beheading and crucifixion are punishments ordained by ALlah in the Koran for opponents of Islam. ISIS did not dream this up. It comes straight from the Islamic sacred texts.
worf Mcallen, TXAug. 20, 2014 2:45 p.m.
Some questions:
* Beside verbally condemning ISIS, will our country respond to a the murder of our citizen?
* Has ISIS committed an act of war?
* Does the death of Michael Brown have more media coverage, and political concern then our American reporter?
* After a two minute speech, could Obama have done something more worth while then hit the golf course with Alonzo Mourning?
* Could ISIS members have crossed our southern borders, to start executing our citizens?
* Would our commander be more concerned if a member of his family was to be executed by an ISIS member?
* Are our leaders protecting its citizens?
Mountanman Hayden, IDAug. 20, 2014 1:41 p.m.
Are these the same murderers Obama once called the JV team of terrorists. Do we see now who really belongs on the JV Squad?
patriot Cedar Hills, UTAug. 20, 2014 12:40 p.m.
say it with me folks "Islamic Terror". Yes what we are seeing folks is the ugly face of what our president refuses to say. Murder in the name of Allah. These animals are not only Americas's enemy they are humanities enemy even as the Nazi SS were. FDR understood who the Nazi's were and what their end game goal was and he lead the nation against them toward total victory. We have a president who is more of a casual observer - unwilling to act and unsure of what and who evil really is. I would say that ISIS is NOT America's biggest threat - Barack Obama is however. A clear and present danger to America. He down sizes our military - he abandons our friends - he sides with the enemy's of Israel - he seems confused what the title of commander and chief really means. His response is ALWAYS weak and late if at all. Peace through strength Reagan always said and we defeated the powerful and evil USSR as a result. Conflict will continue until we have a real leader in the White House. That is what scares me the most.
U-tar Woodland Hills, UTAug. 20, 2014 10:45 a.m.
The savages who took this mans life are the the worst kind of human beings found on earth. They are as evil as they come, and these actions should certainly carry the highest price the US has to offer.

OTTAWA — Ali Baghbani has spent months hoping for a bone marrow match for his son, Tymaz. He's visited Get Swabbed drives at universities across Ontario, as well as one in Montreal.
"[Tymaz] has been for multiple chemotherapy treatments, but he's still looking for his bone marrow match," Baghbani said.
The 15-year-old Torontonian's face was on posters all around the University Centre at Carleton University on Nov. 4, though he is just one of the almost 1,000 patients in Canada waiting to find a match.
The Get Swabbed drive began with a single event at McMaster University in 2009. Each year, an increasing number of schools have taken up the challenge, and there has been a huge surge in support this year, with 20 schools participating, almost double compared to last year, said Jessica Stergiou co-ordinator of donor management for Canadian Blood Services' OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network.
The Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi was at the helm of the drive in Ottawa, focusing its event on three patients, including Tymaz.
The universities compete for a trophy that will go to the school with the most male registrants per capita, Stergiou said.
This year, she said, the drives targeted men, particularly those from non-white backgrounds, since this group is significantly underrepresented in the database.
"Males make the best stem cell donors, with better patient outcomes," Stergiou said, adding that in the unlikely scenario where a patient has multiple matches, the doctor will go with the youngest male available.
Volunteers rounded up men as they walked through the atrium at Carleton to convince them to join the international OneMatch database.
In total, the Ottawa drive registered 337 males, four females and 15 online female registrants, according to Ayal Sadeh, vice-president of the Ottawa AEPi chapter.
The disparity comes from a lack of resources, he said. They were given 600 swab kits and had a limited number of volunteers, so they spent the time registering men, directing most of the women who approached the tables to a computer where they could register online for a mail-in swab kit.
Sadeh said it's ideal to get young people registered since they are fit for a potential donation for the longest possible time, so this was perfect for a university event.
For the second year in a row, the McMaster chapter of AEPi ran a 24-hour drive and broke the Guinness World Record for the most registrants in a day, registering 1,162 people.
Although the University of Guelph beat that number, collecting 1,560 cheek swabs, they didn't qualify for the Guinness record because their drive lasted 12 hours, instead of the continuous 24-hour period required to qualify for the record.
Only about one-third of Guelph's registrants were male, but it must be considered that the university has almost eight female students for every male student, Stergiou said.
It was exciting to see everybody's reactions when they heard the total, said Sarah Paolucci, co-organizer of the drive at Guelph. "We never really thought we would hit anything near this number."
Many volunteers were directly affected by the cause. Gina Parker was one volunteer at Carleton who spent the day helping registrants fill out the necessary questionnaires. She said she was hoping to help find a match for her younger brother, who was diagnosed with leukemia in May.
Though the drive doesn't aim to match specific people, she said, widening the database would increase her brother's chances of finding a match.
Many of those who volunteered, however, had no personal connection.
"There's nothing bad in helping to save a life, so the more I can do, the better," said Jesse Smiley, a first-year student at the University of Ottawa, who is in the process of joining AEPi.
Baghbani said he had hoped there would be more Lebanese registrants, since a person is much more likely to find a match from those with a similar background. But he was thrilled with the turnout.
In the end, Ottawa's AEPi were pleased with both the number of registrants and the chance to show the philanthropic side of the fraternity, although Sadeh said he hopes next year's event will allow them to register both men and women.
"The interest on campus exceeded our wildest expectations," he said. "It was truly successful in every way."

The winter programme of grower meetings organised by PGRO (Processors & Growers Research Organisation) jointly with Syngenta has attracted big attendances at each of the five regional roadshow venues, underlining the interest in pulses for this year's spring drilling in particular. Long-standing growers of peas and beans were joined by those wanting information on the agronomy and prospects for pulses and some who were coming back to the crops after a break. The interest in spring cropping has been heightened considerably by the wet autumn, which has left many fields unsown that had been destined for winter cereals or oilseed rape.Spring bean enthusiast Mark Wells, of Burbage Farms, Hinckley, Leicestershire, believes the crop brings his operations many benefits. "They provide an excellent entry for oilseed rape in particular, and help to spread the workload, as they harvest later than cereals," he stated. "They're easy to harvest, provide an opportunity to clean up grass weeds and, in our case, the over-wintered stubbles that form part of our Higher Level Scheme allow for February ploughing. Gross margins of £1109/ha for 2011 and £1162/ha last year are very pleasing results from a break crop."Expressed fears of over-supply, "with all those jumping into peas and beans this spring," as one grower put it, were quickly dispelled by PGRO's Anthony Biddle. "The UK's pulse area has declined over the past two or three years," he explained, "which has exacerbated the fact that we don't grow enough peas and beans.""There is plenty of market scope, and with prices around the £300/t level for feed beans and £330 for export – to North Africa and Egypt, in particular – there is every reason to increase supply."He went on to list the agronomic benefits of pulses, an important one being that they require no nitrogen and, in fact, leave 40-50kg/ha N in residual form for the following crop. In the case of winter wheat, this can mean yield boosted by an additional 1.0t or more per hectare. And, unlike some other sectors, there are no resistance issues currently regarding pea and bean pests.The increased attention focused on beans and peas in recent months is unlikely to be a temporary phenomenon, he added. "Spring cropping options are likely to assume greater importance in the longer term."The roadshow audiences also heard details from PGRO and Syngenta speakers of the latest developments in disease, weed and pest control, including the activities of the Optibean project, which is 12 months in to its four-year duration, funded by Defra to the tune of £1.3million.In conclusion, food for thought turned to thought of food, when attendees were offered an appropriate pie-and-pea meal prior to departure.

Sometimes its nice to just have something simple.
Clean, crisp, light flavors are like a cleanse for the palate, and after my dad and I had three nights of heavy eating, we were really craving a simple dinner for Sunday evening.
With some fresh ginger from the farmers market and beautiful fillets of cod from Whole Foods, what better way to use them than with Japanese steamed fish. Seasoned with only soy sauce, mirin, and ginger, this dish steams conveniently in the oven for those of you who don't have a nice steamer.
Japanese-style Steamed Fish
Adapted from Allrecipes
- 24 oz. true cod, cleaned and cut into palm-sized fillets
- 1 inch grated fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1-2 green onions, sliced
- Handful of sprouts for garnish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a round or square glass baking dish, place fillets of fish in one even layer. Mix the marinade in a seperate bowl. Carefully pour over the fish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, until fish is opaque as it will continue to cook in the hot liquid.
Garnish with fresh sprouts and serve with rice or a grain and steamed fresh vegetables for a truly simple meal. Enjoy!

Looking for some great foliage interest in your shade or filtered sun that isn't hostas or painted ferns? How about Lamium 'Purple Dragon?' It's a real survivor, thriving across six zones (3-8), and it produces big, beautiful clusters of purple flowers for many weeks. The eye-catching silvery-white leaves shade quickly to dark green around the interesting toothed edges. This groundcover perennial is drought-resistant and evergreen, too, so you'll have this beautiful foliage year-round.
For a different look, try Kolkwitzia amabilis Dream Catcher (yes, I spelled that right). This Beauty Bush does well in filtered sun or part shade in zones 4-9 and is deer-resistant, so it's a great choice for many different gardens. It's rich coppery color seasons to bright yellow in Spring and Summer, and by fall it turns a rich golden-orange with interesting dark tips. It's amazing as a specimen, but even better in mass plantings for a really eye-drawing effect unlike any other.

LORAIN -- Jevon Terance has dreamed of owning his own clothing store for years, but the risks of starting his first business in downtown Lorain seemed high.
The 27-year-old fashion designer has never owned a business, but with Lorain's pop-up shop program, he and a number of first time business owners will be able to test the waters -- of not only operating their own shop -- but of operating in Lorain, a downtown where few new businesses seem to go.
"It is a test," Terance said. "I want to have it be permanent; I am looking past the pop-up shops, but I still have to see how it is going to work out."
Terance's fashion pop-up will sell the clothes he has created and host a number of events. He said he hopes to have an event every weekend, such as allowing children to make their own shirts.
Terance and approximately 21 other shops are expected to fill vacant buildings along Broadway from Saturday, the day of Light Up Lorain, until the end of the December. The shops are given the space rent-free for the holidays with the hopes the shops will make the decision to move in permanently. The pop-up shops are expected to pay for utilities.
Like Terance, Maritza Morales, who will operate "One Shabby Day" with Monique Dotson, has never had her own business.
"We see it as a test run," she said. The business distresses furniture to make it look antique, a process often referred to as "shabby chic."
At a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 633 Broadway, "The Art, Collectible and Gift Shop" opened its doors early to dozens of guests who looked through its art, jewelry and antiques.
Valerie Dillard, who operates "Art-C-Crafts" in that space, overheard a conversation about the pop-up shops and thought it was not something she could pass up. Dillard also saw the opportunity as a test to see how her business could work in Lorain.
The shop will sell locally-crafted jewelry and art.
Dan Metelsky is not a stranger to Lorain, but he hopes Alternative Christmas Display will draw crowds. Metelsky sees his attraction as Lorain's Ripley's Believe it or Not. Metelsky said he has taken the traditional scenes of Christmas and distorted them, creating a mixture of Halloween, Christmas and the Twilight Zone.
"I've got a collection of thousands of pieces," he said.
The attraction also plans weekend events, prices have been set at $4 for adults, $2 for children under 12 and $10 maximum for a family of any size, he said.
The program is a test run not only for the businesses, but for Lorain. Rey Carrion, director of Lorain's Community Development Department, said the city hopes to institute a permanent pop-up shop program to help restore downtown Lorain to its former state.
Light Up Lorain historically draws thousands to the city and the shops will add another element for visitors. This year, eight to nine additional buildings will be occupied because of the program.
"We want this to be a platform to do something really wonderful downtown," he said. The shops will establish consistent hours so shoppers never have to wonder which ones will be open, he said.
Councilman Dennis Flores said the shops has already created some buzz about downtown Lorain. He said he talked to two men looking at a vacant building and found out they were from Tiffin, but looking to open an electronics shop in town for the holidays.
Even though shops have already started moving in and at least one has opened, Carrion said anyone interested in participating needs only to contact his office at 204-2020 to find out more.
"We're looking at what is happening as the prelude to something bigger," Carrion said. "We're not going to let things remain the way they have been."

Champion® SynGold? full synthetic motor oils are uniquely designed to help provide outstanding levels of fuel economy performance, cleaning power and engine protection, even during longer oil change intervals. SynGold is proven to significantly reduce wear and viscosity breakdown because of its advancements in oil technology. SynGolds premium mixture of synthetic base fluids and performance additives outperform all previous engine oils for protection and durability from wear and viscosity breakdown. SynGolds wide range of viscosity grades fit all types of modern vehicles, including high-performance turbo-charged, supercharged gasoline multi-valve fuel injected engines found in passenger cars, SUVs, light vans and trucks. Engine sequence VI-D testing for fuel economy retention clearly demonstrates SynGolds advantage. SynGold 0W grades outperformed the leading brands 5W grade and SynGolds 5W-30 demonstrated no loss in fuel economy because SynGold uses Champions proprietary lubricity additive technology proven more durable than other lubricity agents that can degrade within a few thousand miles.Sludge in gasoline engines is usually a black emulsion made from water, combustion by-products, and oil formed during low-temperature engine operation. Sludge is typically soft, but can polymerize and become a hard substance. It plugs oil lines and screens, and accelerates engine wear and increases emissions.SynGolds premium sludge control is achieved using highly effective antioxidant and dispersant additives. The antioxidant combats sludge formation by blocking chemical reactions between combustion by-products, water and oil at low temperature. Although the antioxidant significantly retards sludge formation it cannot stop it completely. No additive can. This is where SynGolds dispersant technology takes over by keeping formed sludge constituents finely dissolved and suspended in the oil away from engine parts.Benefits include:
Excellent wear protection and engine cleanliness at oil temperatures of 400°F, even at longer drain intervals - Better fuel economy retention than both API SN Resource Conserving and ILSAC GF-5 - Helps late models reduce oil consumption and improves fuel economy - Exceeds sludge control performance for both ILSAC GF-5 and GM Dexos® 1 - Protects against varnish deposits and resists thermal viscosity breakdown - Recommended oil for gasoline, turbocharged gasoline and E-85 flex-fuel engines - Lower pour point pumps fluid faster to moving parts reducing wear during the coldest Winter season - Compatible with conventional oilsChampion® SynGold? full synthetic motor oils are approved for use in General Motors, Ford and DaimlerChrysler flex-fuel vehicles using either gasoline or E-85. Additional service fill approvals also include Acura, Honda, Infiniti, Isuzu, KIA, Lexus, Mercedes Benz, Mitsubishi, Saturn, Toyota and Volvo cars and light duty trucks.

Features - Features
Pets abound within trucking. Dogs, cats, snakes, birds, ferrets and even a wolf and a tiger have been seen riding in trucks. All offer companionship in one way or another. If nothing else, another living creature in the truck eases the loneliness of the road.
A driver named Tom was a lonely solo driver. After much thought, he decided to find a puppy to ride with him in the truck both for companionship and for security. Tom found an odd little puppy who's parents were an interesting combination. The puppy's mother was a yellow Labrador and his father a dachshund! The puppy was named Scooter because he tried to run so fast on his little short legs that he looked like he was scooting.
Scooter grew into an odd looking adult dog with a broad long body, short, stubby legs, a dachshund face, and reddish yellow Labrador hair, weighing in at about 50 pounds. His eyes were warm though and Scooter loved Tom as much as Tom loved him. The two would stop in wide open places and Tom would laugh watching Scooter having a good time chasing squirrels and rabbits. The pair was inseparable.
When Tom was driving, Scooter would be in the jump seat (if Tom would put him up there) watching the world go by and barking at cattle and horses in the fields along the roads. If Tom didn't put him in the seat, Scooter would lie on the floor to chew his toys or, if he got tired, he would unmake the bunk to take a nap under the covers. Scooter took his job of protecting the truck and Tom seriously, barking and growling if anyone even looked like they were going to get near the truck.
They went along the highways and byways of America happily for a couple of years until one October day about three years ago.
Tom was under load to a big mill in Des Moines, Iowa, and wasn't feeling too well. He put it down to the buffet meal he had eaten the night before at a truck stop and a case of truck stop revenge. While his trailer was being unloaded, he started feeling worse and decided when through he would lie down for a nap before going to get reloaded. He had time to nap for a couple of hours.
Leaving the dock, Tom pulled over to the side out of the way and got out of the driver's seat to go back to the sleeper. Scooter barked like he had to go out. Tom told him to wait and tried once again to go into the sleeper. Scooter blocked his way and again barked to go out. Tom was feeling worse, but knew he had a responsibility to his friend so he climbed down out of the truck and lifted Scooter to the ground. Scooter stayed right there by Tom.
Tom suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He hunkered down on his heels, leaning against the drive tires, clutching his chest and panting for breath. Scooter took action! Looking around and seeing a man walking across the parking lot, Scooter ran to him barking and whining. The man didn't pay much attention at first, but Scooter didn't give up. He kept barking at the man and took short runs toward the truck where Tom was.
The man, finally getting it that something was wrong, ran along behind Scooter to Tom. When Tom told him he thought he was having a heart attack, the man raced for help. Scooter stayed right there next to Tom guarding him and licking his face until help arrived.
Luckily, the mill had a first responder on staff who immediately called for an ambulance. Tom was rushed to a nearby hospital. A kind worker at the mill took Scooter home with him where Scooter kept whining and crying looking for his beloved friend.
Tom would have died that day if he would have went into the bunk to lie down. It was found that he had a 100% blockage in his heart. The hospital released Tom three days later to go home and recuperate. The kind person from the mill brought Scooter to the hospital for the ride home with Tom to Kansas City. It is unclear who was happier to see who, but Tom was unashamed about the tears in his eyes as he saw his lifesaver, Scooter.
So, now, about three years later, Tom is still driving and Scooter is still doing his normal thing, riding along in the truck beside his best friend, barking at things that catch his attention. To me and my family though, Scooter is a hero. You see, Tom is my brother and we bless the day that he found the odd looking puppy, Scooter.

Photo by Monique Schoenfeld, Town CrierBill Johnson of Los Altos Hills designed furniture-like cabinets of red birch for his new kitchen. His wife Nicki contributed her color and design skills to the project.
Nicki and Bill Johnson's new kitchen
For Nicki and Bill Johnson of Los Altos Hills, 1997 was the year of the kitchen.
Out went their disintegrating, 25-year-old dark walnut cabinets and failing appliances, replaced by furniture-like cabinetry designed by Bill, a stainless steel sink big enough to bathe a toddler ("I like a deep single sink," Bill said), and efficient new stainless steel cooktop, refrigerators, a warming oven and state-of-the-art dishwasher.
The entire project was conceived, designed, and built by Bill, a self-described "informed amateur," with the help of teacher-contractor Chuck Rumwell of the Building Education Center in Berkeley. The two men worked together five days a week for six months, from June 1 through the end of December.
"Ninety percent of the work was done by Bill and me," Rumwell said. "We had someone come in to install the granite countertops and another person did the large sheet rock work, but we did the rest.
"Since I retired a few years ago, I became the family chef," Bill said. "Without that cooking knowledge, I couldn't have done this; I wanted a kitchen that looked beautiful, had more space and professional equipment - also one that would be easy to clean. Like most people, we were afraid of that big terrible thing called 'remodeling the kitchen,' but by connecting with Chuck, we got a roadmap on how a kitchen gets redone."
Bill already had some background as a builder. His father was in the lumber business in Phoenix, Ariz., and Bill helped frame houses as a teenager. He's also a talented woodworker who designs and builds tables and cabinets in his garage workshop.
Exactly one year ago, the Johnsons read a Los Altos Town Crier notice about a free introductory lecture of Rumwell's - "What You Need to Know Before You Build or Remodel." They attended the lecture and soon launched a creative adventure that ended just last week with their new kitchen's final inspection (It passed with flying colors).
First Bill drove to Berkeley on Tuesdays and Thursday nights for two full months, attending "The Homeowner's Essential Course: How to Build, Remodel, and Maintain Your Home." The class is now also offered several times a year at Cubberley Center in Palo Alto. It costs $425 per person; a free Building Center class schedule can be ordered by phone, (510) 525-7610.
"Some of the classes are hands-on, some lectures - you cover all the major aspects of designing a house, from the foundation up," Bill said.
"Each set of classes is tailored to the needs of the students," Rumwell said. "We always cover all of the basic components of home-building, but the approach varies because of students' questions. We want everyone to walk away with the knowledge they came for."
Do other students end up hiring the teacher to help with remodeling projects?
"A few," Rumwell replied. "I'm seeing more and more people in the Santa Clara Valley who want someone like me to help them along, and I'm happy to offer this service because it's very rewarding, personally. I consider the Johnsons' project a work of art."
While taking the home-building class, Bill, who is now retired after 25 years of marketing personal computers for Hewlett-Packard Company, started manipulating his available kitchen space on a CAD (computer-aided design) program.
"I started by taking measurements. I knew I would knock out the closet that contained our furnace and water heater and play around with other walls," he recalled. "Nicki and our son Alex, who works for Sony, also helped. They would each come in and make suggestions and we'd ask each other, 'Will this work?'"
Bill, who Rumwell describes as "brilliant and a delight to be around," even kept statistics on how many times family members opened the refrigerator door and what they were seeking in the refrigerator.
"I wanted to use the narrower model of Sub Zero refrigerator, because of space limitations. I discovered that most family refrigerator visits were for beverages - so I decided to place a small refrigerator, just for beverages, in the bar area at the other end of the room," Bill said.
A major feature of the new kitchen is the dramatically rough-hewn circular beam at the peak of the roof-high ceiling.
"When Bill told me he'd really prefer a round beam up there, rather than the 6-by-14-foot beam we had planned to use, I said 'Do it!'" Chuck laughed. "The whole point of doing a project on your own is to have exactly what you want."
"That round beam is a telephone pole," Bill said. "Getting it up to ceiling height was an exercise in physics."
"When people do their own remodeling, there is much less chaos," Chuck said. "Each afternoon, we would sit down and discuss what would happen tomorrow and how to make the rest of the household run smoothly. Also, you don't have a lot of strangers coming into the home."
Are there other remodeling projects ahead for the Johnsons, now that they've mastered the process?
"We need to rest up for awhile," Nicki laughed.
"But eventually we would like to redo two bathrooms and maybe the pool house and patio arbor," Bill said.

Whitecaps' Andy O'Brien pays price of injury; pays fare for SkyTrain
Here's one: Vancouver Whitecaps defender Andy O'Brien uses the SkyTrain to get to work some days.
It very well could be an unofficial first for a professional athlete in Vancouver, or maybe the first time a local professional athlete has admitted to riding public transit to and from work. Or, maybe, it's a more common occurrence than people think.
Either way, it sparked an amusing conversation between O'Brien and a handful of reporters Wednesday, after the Whitecaps' morning training session at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, and after the Irish international had gone through the formal interview process with the media.
O'Brien, a veteran of more than 300 games in the English Premier League and 14 appearances in the UEFA Champions League with Newcastle United FC, has been just another patron for TransLink and, according to him, recognized only once aboard our public transit system.
He admitted to riding SkyTrain from downtown Vancouver in to Burnaby, where Swangard on the southeast side of Boundary Road, paying the standard fare, aware of the that Transit Police are coming down on evaders and the $173 fine for such a violation.
His reason for taking public transit is simple: he doesn't want to pester his teammates for a ride to practice.
O'Brien, 33, likes the city, is finally settled in and doesn't mind cracking the odd joke about his experiences here.
But what he doesn't find funny is sitting out due to injury.
O'Brien, who was acquired by the Whitecaps on Aug. 1 from Leeds United AFC of the English League Championship and made his debut 10 days later against Real Salt Lake, has missed the last two games due to an adductor strain. He's been receiving treatment for the injury since the loss to the Portland Timbers on Aug. 25.
He's also dealing with tendinitis and had a bag of ice wrapped just below his left knee cap Wednesday, but hopes to be available for Sunday's match against the Colorado Rapids at BC Place Stadium.
"I've missed quite a bit of training. I've only trained three or four times since the Portland game," said O'Brien.
"But felt good today. That's probably the most I've trained since the Portland game in terms of length and intensity.
"Because I've trained so early in the week, hopefully I might be available for selection and obviously that's a manager's decision. But all I can do is, you know, take it one step at a time and delighted to have gotten through today."
Head coach Martin Rennie isn't counting O'Brien out for selection, but, after a strong outing from Jay DeMerit and Martin Bonjour against FC Dallas Saturday, making it into the Whitecaps starting lineup doesn't seem likely.
"I think he's trained well," said Rennie.
"Obviously Martin and Jay did play well in the last game, so it will be difficult to probably displace them for this game. But I think the fact that he's out there training, if he can be out there consistently, than obviously he's a very experienced player and has done very well when he's played.
"So it would be very nice for us to have that option."

Influenza virus activity in the world, 7 June 2013
Source: Laboratory confirmed data from the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS).
Based on FluNet reporting (as of 4 June 2013, 11:25 UTC), during weeks 20 to 21 (12 May 2013 to 25 May 2013), National Influenza Centres (NICs) and other national influenza laboratories from 87 countries, areas or territories reported data. The WHO GISRS laboratories tested more than 30 922 specimens. 1 894 were positive for influenza viruses, of which 1 208 (63.8%) were typed as influenza A and 686 (36.2%) as influenza B. Of the sub-typed influenza A viruses, 766 (73.9%) were influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and 271 (26.1%) were influenza A(H3N2). Of the characterized B viruses, 14 (63.6%) belong to the B-Yamagata lineage and 8 (36.4%) to the B-Victoria lineage.
During weeks 20 and 21, influenza activity remained low in the northern and southern hemispheres. A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses were the predominant subtype circulating globally, followed by influenza B and A(H3N2) viruses.
In Oceania, sporadic influenza activity was detected with New Zealand reporting an increase in the number of influenza B virus detections.
In Central and South America increased A(H1N1)pdm09 activity was reported from a number of countries. Influenza activity remained low throughout the rest of the region.
In Africa, A(H1N1)pdm09 and influenza B viruses co-circulated throughout the region with increased A(H1N1)pdm09 and influenza B activity reported by South Africa and Rwanda respectively.
In Asia there was a further decline in influenza activity. A(H1N1)pdm09 remained the predominant circulating subtype followed A(H3N2).
Influenza activity in Europe and North America remained low.

Boudebouz claims Reds interest
Algeria international Ryad Boudebouz has claimed Liverpool are eager to sign him.
• Sissoko agent claims Reds talks
• Liverpool close to Adam deal
• Melo angry at Meireles swap talk
Boudebouz, 21, has been with Sochaux since 2004 and is under contract until 2013, but the playmaker has revealed he would be open to a move to Anfield.
"The Liverpool interest is solid," he told L'Est Republicain. "There has been contact but we have to take our time, meet the chairman and remain calm.
"I want to sit down and discuss things when we return for pre-season training. If there is an important offer, we will not be able to turn it down. I don't wish to leave Sochaux but if there is an offer on the table, I will think about it."
Meanwhile, Daniel Agger has hailed manager Kenny Dalglish and assistant Steve Clarke for bringing back Liverpool's traditional style of football.
"I like Kenny's playing style and I think it suits Liverpool," he told the club's official website. "It suits the football club and it suits the fans. I was really happy he and Steve Clarke signed their deals.
"Steve has made a big, big impact and he is really good. I can't say enough good things about him. Kenny suits this club. He knows everything about it, and the fans know him. It's positive for the future."
He added: "It is a different way of playing football. The training sessions are enjoyable. People talk about confidence and it is such a big thing in football because it can change from one day to another.
"The main change is about being positive. Playing positive football and that's the biggest difference."

|Hi Leo, Thanks to the link of the arete (Photo), I'm fairly certain Michael was referring to another group of routes on a medium-sized monolith shown in Photo. The ratings also seem to support this, as the routes on what I'm calling the West Slabs are very moderate in comparison. I'll get some better photos of the slabs. Of course, the FA team may have a name for this area, and I'm happy to change this temporary label whenever they communicate their info.

The one farthest to the right at the end of the ramp is, 2. "Tangled Up in Blue". It is two pitched, bolts and gear. The first pitch 5.6 NC, No Consensus, rap anchors at the top. The second pitch is maybe 5.7+ NC, rap anchors at the top. FA Tom Kohlmann/Matt Quinn. There is a 2nd pitch variation on this route that proceeds up a vertical wall right. It is in the 5.10 range, NC. Follow the bolts up and to an arete (crux) to anchors it shares with a separate climb we named "Boltergeist", Climb no. 1 which starts 100 feet southwesterly in a small canyon. The variation of route no. 2 was put up by Dan Hare/Rich Perch who did the first ascent.
The one on the ramp to just left of Route "2" is, 3. "Bear Mountain Picnic". It is two pitch with rap anchors. It may be 5.7+, NC. FA Eric Zschiesche/Donna Quinn. A note of caution---it has been a while since I have climb these climbs so I do not know their present condition as to bolts/anchors, etc. The routes are bolts and gear. We used 70 meter ropes.

Hey, this is a great cliff! I have done most of these routes, and they are fun if you are looking for moderate routes in a cool setting. Once you cross the pass, you leave the ATV noise behind, and the bullets aren't even whizzing over your head anymore. I think you might get by with a 60 meter for a lot of these climbs, but may I recommend: Enjoy the adventure, maybe carry a rap rope and a light rack, most of these climbs are 5.7-5.10 and bolted where needed.
My friend Tom has provided Bernard Gillett with detailed info on this area and others which which he has developed with Matt, myself and others. Look for his next book if you enjoy this area.

With the 44th Bassmaster Classic not far in the rearview mirror, the air in the bass fishing world is electric with positive energy. Everyone is getting amped up for the their next day trip to their local lake or prepping their rigs for a week-long excursion to their next tournament.
In my book, the Classic is one of the strongest morale boosters in the sport, and is capable of keeping the enthusiasm alive throughout the year, with the promise that you just may be on the roster for next year's "big event."
There are other events that provoke a similar sensation as well, like the Forest Wood Cup and the Toyota Texas Bass Classic. These events keep a healthy dose of vitamin C pulsing through the veins of the sport.
Aside from single championship events, college fishing has arguably been, in recent years, one of the best platforms for growth within the sport, and it is still showing notable growth.
To begin our BassFan college fishing feature, it is important to understand the basic structure of this level of comeptition that is still considered to be in its infancy.
The Organizations
College fishing, to be completely honest, can be hard to follow, due in part to its somewhat fractured nature. Since its humble beginnings, there have been many different small groups and organizations offering college-level tournament competition at regional levels, and a few bass clubs were born.
Now, there are clubs in practically every 4-year college in the country, and though the smaller regional tours still exist, today the backbone of collegiate angling is comprised of three primary tours – FLW College Fishing, the Bassmaster College Series and the Association of Collegiate Anglers (ACA), which operates the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Championship.
Each of these tours are very different as far as structure and tournament offerings, but they all bring unique things to the table, giving college anglers ways to improve their skills and advance to higher levels.
FLW College Fishing
Some may argue that FLW had the largest part in college fishing's rapid growth due to the initially massive paybacks for their events, offering as much as $100,000 to be split between the winning team's club and school in the championship event.
Today the paybacks are quite a bit deflated from the days when the National Guard backed FLW College Fishing, but it's nonetheless still offering a tour that finds several teams on the waiting lists at each event, and it still awards the champion team a berth to the Forest Wood Cup.
The format consists of five divisions, or "conferences." From 1-day derbies, the Top 15 two-person teams advance to their conference's Invitational championships. The Top 15 teams from each of the 2-day Invitationals then move on to the FLW College Fishing National Championship, where they compete in the 3-day, televised championship. The winning team wins a Ranger boat and punches its ticket to the Forest Wood Cup.
At the Cup, one member of the winning team fishes from the boater side, and the other in the co-angler division.
Though the format has evolved quite a bit since the circuit's initial year in 2009, it has been a key player in offering college anglers opportunities to advance to the upper echelon through college competition.
Bassmaster College Series
Of all the collegiate fishing tours, the Bassmaster College Series is possibly the most misunderstood when it comes to the event structure. But make no mistake, it has taken college fishing to new levels, offering a college angler a berth to the sport's premier event – the Bassmaster Classic.
The College Bass Series schedule is much less extensive than FLW's, but it has taken care to cater to all regions of the country, offering five regions, or "conferences." Within each conference, in order for a team to advance to the National Championship, it must compete in its conference's regional event and finish in the Top 10 (based on 50 entries). There is also a single Wild Card event that all conferences can participate in, assuming the teams compete in their respective regional events, which also offers 15 berths to the National Championship.
At the National Championship, the field competes for the title of College Bass National Champions, but the winning team doesn't automatically go to the Bassmaster Classic. From the National Championship, the Top 4 teams advance to the College Bracket Championship, pitting the eight individual competitors against one another until finally there is an overall champion. The champion of that event receives a berth in the Bassmaster Classic.
Since offering a spot to the Classic to a college angler, Bassmaster has achieved an impressive amount of attention for college fishing that other organizations have not been able to duplicate.
The Association of Collegiate Anglers (ACA) is a collection of college clubs and is an official TBF Federation. The ACA itself only puts on a limited number of events, but it sanctions many events put on by individual schools and regional groups.
Though the ACA runs only a handful of televised events, such as its Collegiate Bass Fishing Open and the Cabela's Collegiate Big Bass Bash, it too offers a major championship that enables one team to advance to some of the sport's premier events.
The BoatUS Collegiate Bass Championship is the ACA's flagship event, which gives the winning team a berth to the TBF National Championship, where they in turn have a chance to potentially qualify for the BFL All-American and the Forest Wood Cup.
The biggest difference in qualification structure for the BoatUS Championship is that it is up to the individual clubs to decide how a team may qualify to represent them at the ACA championship. Though this is known to be the easiest championship to qualify for, it is arguably the most difficult to win, since in recent years there have been almost 200 teams in the field. It is safe to say that the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Championship is one of the most popular of all the single events in the sport of college fishing, and is by far the largest event as far as participation.
When a team wins the 2-day BoatUS Championship, the team members get passes into a random division in the TBF National Championship – one as a boater and the other as a co-angler. From there, they have the opportunity to move up to the BFL All-American and ultimately the Forrest Wood Cup.
The ACA also offers a School of the Year program, where it recognizes events from B.A.S.S., FLW and some other events in deciding which school takes home the title.
Doing it Together
It is truly amazing how fast college fishing has grown into what it is today. Some may argue that one organization can take the majority of the credit for its massive growth, but in my opinion, they have all done their part to make it a legitimate level of competition in the sport.
Though the individual organizations may have their own agendas regarding why they decide to put so much time, money and energy into college fishing, the end result is the same – we have a very special platform in place today to continue growing the sport by getting younger generations excited about tournament bass fishing.
College fishing is good for all.

I don't know if it was Plowboy (forgive me if I am wrong), but when I was doing research for my first comp someone posted about the work boxes. When you practice, work out of your boxes. If you have to go to the kitchen for something make sure you write it down so you know to add it to the box. That will let you know you have everything. As Mista's thread said, after the first couple comps you will start to really cut back on what you take with you. The less you take, the less stress there is at set up and tear down time.
After you get home from each comp, go thru your boxes as you clean up and make a note about what you need to replace before next time. We do about one comp every two months. That gives plenty of time to make little purchases and eases the pain of the price to compete for a low budget team like us.
One huge mistake we made at the last comp of the year for us, I tried to cook extra meat for a church picnic the next day. 14 extra butts. I thought I had the time down for it to be done before rib time, but it was way too close and way too much stress. We do take orders from friends, co-workers and family and cook that meat for them on Friday or just take it out of extra butts after turn in times. It helps some of the guys on my team afford to come play.
