**I am in drastic need of an update!**
A LOT has been done to the car in the last year or so. I really need to update my page. Please enjoy what I currently have posted, but come on back to see the updated, more inclusive page soon!
I bought the car on the cheap over 4 years ago and have been fixing her up ever since. Originally purchased with a mere 67,000 miles, she now has only 123,000!!
The car is not only a daily driver, but my Auto Cross and Rally Cross car as well. It actually performs very well as a Rally Cross car and took second place in the Rocky Mountain Divisional Rally Cross in 2006. Since then I have been Autoo Crossing it mostly, trying to work on that perfect line...
There were a few thousand Berettas made for the European countries with different headlights, tail lights, side mirrors and more. This car is the most complete European conversion of a Beretta outside of the European countries.
This car has been practically rebuilt! Only a few more things remain to be replaced / upgraded and it will be a "new" car! Once the engine dies, if ever... I will swap in a 3.1L crate engine for a bit more power. I hope ot have the car at its 25 year mark as then I can get classic plates for her. this car has been a part of me for a while now... and will continue to be my baby for many years to come.

Corporate earnings are the latest hurdle for a stock market that has been navigating an environment of slowing growth.
In the coming week, the second quarter earnings seasonkicks off with just a few reports, but they will be important early looks at whether the fallout from Europe and the slower global growth is hurting corporate America. Alcoa is first out on Monday, followed by an interim report from Chevron Wednesday. Results Friday are expected from JPMorgan, which was hit by a controversial derivatives trading loss, totaling billions.
After Friday's disappointing U.S. June payrolls, jobs-related data, such as Thursday's weekly jobless claims, will be monitored, as will the minutes of the last Federal Reservemeeting Wednesday. But more important, perhaps, is a batch of fresh Chinese data, starting off Monday with inflation and export data, and winding down Friday with GDP, retail sales, and industrial output.
"There's a number of things to worry about in the earnings reports. We had downward revisions in the GDP number in the second quarter, which bothers me," said James Paulsen, chief investment strategist with Wells Capital Management. "That generally leads to disappointing earnings numbers. My biggest concern for the S&P 500, is that the (dollar index) is up more than 5 percent in the quarter. That might take on significance."
Paulsen said the dollar impact on profits could hit multinationals repatriating profits. "You're going to hear it in different ways. They'll be talking about the same thing but they'll be talking about how weak pricing was," he said.
Daniel Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG, said company comments in the last earnings period were an early warning for the current economic sluggishness. "If you listened to the industrials in the first quarter, the industrials all said the same thing. It was Brazil. It was China. It was Europe," he said. "A minority have suggested that their particular situation is better than expected. What will be interesting is how much companies that are particularly exposed to Europe indicate their expectations going forward and is that much worse than the Street (expects)."
Greenhaus said earnings expectations for the second quarter have been coming down for a while. While the consensus is for a 2 percent decline, he said the final numbers could be better. "I think you'll come in closer to flattish. This is a huge moving target right now," said Greenhaus.
"Even if we beat, it's not going to be very good," he said. Energy profits should be particularly hard hit, after the 20-percent decline in oil pricesin the quarter. "The energy sector is a big wild card, given the big fall in oil. They are a big earner. The banks too. Forgetting the regulatory side of things, the trading environment has been bad," he said.
Greenhaus said he would stay away from the financials, noting the latest regulatory problems swirling around the industry with the wideningLibor-fixing scandalwhich resulted in the ouster of Barclays chairman and CEO in the past week. Barclays settled last month with U.S. and U.K. regulators over allegations its traders manipulated Libor, the key London Interbank Offered Rate.
Paulsen said he has been overweight the financial stocks but the Libor investigations and the JPMorgan trading losses worry him. "The reason I went back overweight banks was primarily because confidence improved, but there's a bad side to both of those events. Where they really hit home is they hurt the confidence in the one industry where we really need to rebuild it."
Financials were the second worst performers of the past week, down 1.2 percent, after a 1.4-percent decline in industrials. The Dow in the past week was down 0.8 percent, to 12,772, after a 124-point drop Friday on June's weak employment report, which showed just 80,000 new jobs. The S&P 500 finished the week at 1354, off 0.6 percent, and the Nasdaq was down less than a tenth of a percent at 2937. Despite a choppy second quarter, the S&P is still up 7.7 percent year to date.
"I like how the market is doing better than people would think. I think the underlying data is doing better than the jobs data and I think that's what the stock market might be pricing in. We're probably up close to 10 percent year to date, total return with dividends, which is really a phenomenal first half of the year," Paulsen said.
Paulsen said the market may be getting desensitized to headlines from Europe, and that it may have already been pricing in the second quarter's weak earnings. "The May and June lows in the market might well have discounted a sloppy earnings quarter," he said.
In the coming week, there's a Euro group meeting on Monday and EcoFin finance ministers meet on Tuesday.
What Else to Watch
Markets will be waiting to see what the economic picture from China looks like in the coming week. China surprised markets with a second round of interest rate cutsin the past week, raising speculation that the data will be weak.
"Irrespective of next week's data, the bigger story is whether the second quarter is the trough, and you get acceleration into the second half of the year, which is my and everybody else's assumption for the second quarter," said Greenhaus.
"What we care about is the GDP number. The consensus is 7.7, but there is increasing speculation, some would call it the whisper number, that the number will be much lower, and that's one reason why China cut interest rates," he added.
Robert Sinche, head of global foreign exchange strategy at RBS, said the number he's particularly interested in is new loans, expected sometime in the week ahead. "We think new loans will give us information about future growth," he said, adding he is also interested in the GDP reading.
"For us, China data, that has become the source of stability or hope for stability," Sinche said.

Real estate
|This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition.
Real Estate includes land (measured in area), and any residential, commercial property built upon it.
Its value is usually based on the area and individual value of the types of assets (homes, buildings, parks, schools, even office cubicles) that are accommodated in that area along with the immediate surroundings (access to transportation, business opportunities and several other factors).
The term "real estate" refers to the land and fixtures together, as opposed to "real property" which refers to ownership rights of the land and anything affixed to it.
Many laws are based on distinguishing between "real" property (land and anything affixed to it) and "personal" property (everything else, e.g. clothing, furniture, money).
With the legal protection associated with private property ownership, real estate has become a major area of business.
Real estate can be a desirable investment vehicle, however there are risks associated with it which must be thoroughly researched, understood and taken into account. Like any other investment, real estate should not dominate a portfolio.

No matter where you are in the world and no matter how many hours of sun you get during these summer months it is important that you stay protected from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
All of us generally understand we need to keep ourselves and our families skin protected from the sun but often get confused as to which sunscreen is best. Any sunscreen is better than none but here's a bit more detail about the different ingredients and how they work.
First of all it is good to know the difference between sunblock vs sunscreen.
There used to be a big difference between the two types of sun protection but these days not so much. Sunscreen is absorbed into the skin to protect and become invisible, and sunblock remains on the surface of the skin.
The most important thing for you to look out for in a physical sunblock is that they protect from both UV-A and UV-B rays. These will not only protect your skin from burning but also from premature ageing.
It is also good to know the difference between physical and chemical blocks because they too have different effects on how your skin is protected.
Put simply, chemical sunscreens absorb the sun's rays and physical sunscreens deflect the sun's rays.
You want to look out for Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide in the ingredients of your physical skin block. These are the main ingredient that will help protect your skin against sun damage.
Zinc Oxide is the number one sun blocker but the Titanium Oxide doesn't contain any oil so is perfect for people with oily skin.
Zinc and titanium are effectively both physical mineral sunblocks. Because they are micro-particles they rarely cause irritation and are non-allergenic.
ZENMED new SFP 40 mineral sunscreen is predominantly a physical sunscreen so it totally deflects the suns harmful rays. This new sunscreen product also includes hyaluronic acid, CoQ10, antioxidents and is so light it can be used as a day cream, under makeup or even over your moisturizer.
ZENMED's Oil Free Moisturizer with SPF 30 is known as a chemical block and has been specially formulated for sensitive skin. This sunscreen is perfect for people who suffer with Rosacea and want a sunscreen that can not only protect but help moisturize too.
Both of these sunscreen products have been doctor formulated and are especially useful for people who have sensitive or problem skin.
For the perfect all round protection you can use the SPF 30 moisturizer every day and then place the SPF 40 mineral sunscreen protector on top. Because of their special formulation these can be used under your makeup without any greasiness or irritation.

Forest subs sink Hornets
Nottingham Forest's unbeaten run of Sky Bet Championship matches reached double figures after a rush of inspired substitutions completed a stunning comeback in a 4-2 win over Watford at the City Ground.
The Reds were behind to Gabriele Angella's double but Simon Cox, Darius Henderson and Jamie Mackie came off the bench and scored in the order in which they were introduced to turn the game on its head, before Cox netted again late on.
Billy Davies' side are now 10 games without defeat in the league, 12 matches in all competitions, and well positioned in the play-off places.
Watford remain a shadow of the team that reached last season's play-off final and are languishing in 16th place, without a league win since Boxing Day.
Troy Deeney curled a shot narrowly over the crossbar after three minutes following a neat exchanges of passes with Daniel Pudil on the edge of the penalty area.
At the other end Danny Collins' diving header struck the bar after Guy Moussi had nodded an Andy Reid free-kick back across the six-yard box.
Watford did not clear the danger and Djamel Abdoun's looping volley from the left side of the box dropped just wide of the far post.
Angella almost got on the end of a couple of corners. Both sides looked vulnerable from set-pieces but it would prove to be a warning that Forest did not heed.
Jamie Paterson forced Manuel Almunia into a save on the half-hour mark when he cut inside from the right flank on to his left foot.
It was third time lucky for Angella in the 33rd minute when his back-heel flick from Ikechi Anya's corner put Watford in front. Gonzalo Jara tried to keep it out on the far post but the Chilean could only head the ball against the underside of the bar and it bounced down over the goalline.
Another example of slack defending should have seen the unmarked Greg Halford equalise five minutes later but the defender, again given the nod to play as a striker by Reds boss Davies despite him having five recognised forwards sitting on the bench, sent a free header over the crossbar.
Deeney went close to extending Watford's lead but his near-post volley from Anya's cross went into the side-netting.
Davies replaced Halford with Cox at half-time.
Reid forced Almunia into a good parrying save shortly after the restart as Forest began the second half with some urgency. However, Angella quickly knocked the wind out of their sails with a second goal. Again it was poor defending as the Italian was given time and space to plant his header past Karl Darlow from Sean Murray's inswinging free-kick.
Almunia helped Reid's free-kick over the bar before Cox got the fightback moving in the 58th minute.Abdoun's inswinging cross from the left was headed back across goal by Moussi, and Cox swept the ball home from close range.
From then on it was all Forest and the inevitable equaliser arrived from a predictable source. Former Hornet Henderson, on after 69 minutes, had been on the pitch less than five minutes when he stooped to head home Reid's exquisite cross with the outside of his left foot.
Darlow got his fingertips to a Cristian Battocchio effort as Watford provided a reminder that they were still a threat. However, three minutes later the comeback was completed. Reid was involved again as he crossed for Mackie, fresh into the game, to head past Almunia from six yards out with 82 minutes on the clock.
Cox made absolutely sure of all three points when he slotted past Almunia in the final minute

JACKSON, Mississippi -- The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Mississippi death row inmate Willie Jerome Manning.
Manning asked U.S. Supreme Court in December to listen to his arguments for a new trial. The court declined Monday without comment.
Attorney General Jim Hood later Monday asked the Mississippi Supreme Court to set an execution date for Manning. In his motion, Hood asked the court to set the date of execution for April 24.
"It is the state's position that the denial of the petition ... brings to a conclusion the challenges by Manning in state and federal courts to his sentence of death," Hood said in the motion.
The 5th Circuit said under state law, Manning had until April 5, 2000, to file a post-conviction petition. Court records show Manning did not file anything with the Mississippi Supreme Court until Oct. 8, 2001.
Manning, now 44, received two death sentences for the 1992 slayings of two Mississippi State University students, Jon Steckler and Tiffany Miller.
On Dec. 11, 1992, the bodies of Miller and Steckler were discovered in rural Oktibbeha County. Both students had been shot to death, and Miller's car was missing. The vehicle was found the next morning.
Prosecutors said Manning was arrested after he attempted to sell certain items belonging to the victims.
Manning has another appeal pending in Oktibbeha County Circuit Court in a separate death penalty case.
Last month, the Mississippi Supreme Court asked an Oktibbeha County judge to explain why no ruling has been issue on a post-conviction petition filed by Manning in a case involving the deaths of two women.
Manning was convicted in 1996 for the killings of Emmoline Jimmerson, 90, and Alberta Jordan, about 60, in Starkville. The women were beaten and their throats slashed during a robbery attempt in 1993. The Supreme Court upheld his two death sentences in 2000.
In 2004, the Mississippi court said Manning could pursue a PCR on whether prosecutors withheld certain evidence, whether prosecutors presented false evidence and whether Manning was denied effective assistance of counsel both at trial and on appeal.
The Oktibbeha court held a hearing in January of 2011.

When Billy Wagner was healthy and popping off on a regular basis, he often joked about retirement. He liked the idea of going out on his terms.
That's gone now.
Wagner will have surgery to repair a torn MCL in his left elbow, and with recovery time of one year, we're talking 2010. Wagner has his money, but what remains to be seen is whether he'll have peace of mine and be willing to leave like this. No athlete wants to leave the game injured.
"That was a scenario that I was not expecting," general manager Omar Minaya said today.
Wagner walked off the mound during a bullpen session Sunday afternoon. At 37, he has one year and $10.5 million left on the contract signed before the 2006 season.
The Mets hold an $8 million option for 2010, which they likely would not pick up without having seen him pitch next year.
Wagner saved 101 of his 385 career games with the Mets and was a two-time all-star. He lived up to his end of the bargain. Yes, he had blown saves, but nobody quite blew a save like Wagner.
Wagner went on the DL with a strained left forearm, Aug. 5, and the team has gone to a closer-by-committee role. Things were spotty at first, but Luis Ayala settled into the role by converting five of six save opportunities.
"Surgery was always a possibility if things did not get better," Minaya said. "And we're at the point right now where things did not get better. … In a lot of ways, you almost got the feeling that we were going to have to do this without Billy. Baseball is not about one guy.

VeganMoFo: Come with me to the South Pacific!
Hoorah! Can't you just hear the waves lapping on the shore of the island? We've come to the end of our Around-The-World-in-30-Days journey, and landed in South Pacific / Polynesia for some recipe inspiration. I wanted to make sure to touch down in most parts of the world, and it would be crazy to skip this enchanting little paradise.
Most of the dinner recipes I found from Polynesian countries had to do with either raw fish or goat meat. Hmmm... hard to veganize. But! All the desserts were mostly just tropical fruit goodies... so I decided to go that route.
I made Tahitian Poe... a banana "pudding," which was dense like bread pudding and tasted like pure bananas. The texture was maybe a tad too dense, so I think I'd probably reduce the arrowroot by a touch next time... but the flavor was really gorgeous. And on top is a glob of coconut cream and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Mmmmm. Nothing personal against my poe, but I'm pretty sure that an old piece of cardboard would taste good with a dollop of coconut cream and a sprinkle of brown sugar! (ps. How funny, but Mandee also made a poe batch... they look identical!)
I was having trouble picking, so I also made a delicious watermelon drink from Tonga called Otai. Mmmmmmmmm! I will definitely make this again... once watermelon season returns to us again. It's got watermelon, crushed pineapple, coconut... man, it was good! It was refreshing and filling and healthy and hearty, somehow all those things at once!
One thing about this global eating we've done... is that I ended up buying things like bananas and canned pineapple, which I'm just not used to. I did my best to stick to local and seasonal ingredients, but it didn't always work out that way. I have really loved discovering so many new flavors and recipes, and I'm also eager to explore recipes from all the many, many countries that I couldn't squeeze in this month. I'm pretty sure that "Where in the World is Vegan Eats and Treats?" will become a regular feature on my blog... there are so many more cuisines to explore!
It's been great traveling with all of you, thanks for coming along, and thanks for reading!
Come back for one more special home-again, home-again post tomorrow!

I've loved your MoFo'ing sooooo much - definitely the best MoFo posts 2010.ReplyDelete
Those desserts look beautiful, especially the watermelon drink!ReplyDelete
I tuned in a little late, but I've enjoyed your MoFo travels immensely; so much great food and fun posts! Keeping the "Where in the World" theme as a regular feature is a great idea.
I love your drawings too! Your family look great in their hulas, and I'm truly charmed by that little dancing pineapple!
Thanks for all the MoFo fun and food!

Though neither George Bush nor John Kerry can be said be to silver-tongued, Mr. Bush, at least, has something to say. He does not falter in the things he believes. John Kerry on the other hand does little else than falter.
(As more Kerryisms inevitably become available I will update this list and bring it to the top of my blog. If you have a favorite that you want me to post leave a comment and I'll add it to the list.)
New Kerryism for today:
New York Times
''It accelerated -- '' He paused. ''I mean, it didn't change me much at all. It just sort of accelerated, confirmed in me, the urgency of doing the things I thought we needed to be doing. I mean, to me, it wasn't as transformational as it was a kind of anger, a frustration and an urgency that we weren't doing the kinds of things necessary to prevent it and to deal with it.''
Previous Kerryisms:
Endeavoring to explain his "global test" remarks in the first presidential debate:
The Washington Times
The test I was talking about is a test of legitimacy — not just in the globe, but elsewhere. - John Kerry
New York Times
Hypothetical questions are not real. - John Kerry
ABC News (Hat tip to OpinionJournal)
I will stand up and struggle, as others have, to try to get that right balance between violence, and sex, and things. - John Kerry
ABC NewsAnd:
Peter Jennings: You told an Iowa newspaper recently that life begins at conception. What makes you think that?
Sen. Kerry: My personal belief about what happens in the fertilization process is a human being is first formed and created, and that's when life begins. Something begins to happen. There's a transformation. There's an evolution. Within weeks, you look and see the development of it, but that's not a person yet, and it's certainly not what somebody, in my judgment, ought to have the government of the United States intervening in. - John Kerry
Jennings: Could you explain again to me what do you mean when you say "life begins at conception"?And:
Kerry: Well, that's what the Supreme Court has established is a test of viability as to whether or not you're permitted to terminate a pregnancy, and I support that. That is my test. And I, you know, you have all kinds of different evolutions of life, as we know, and very different beliefs about birth, the process of the development of a fetus. That's the standard that's been established in Roe v. Wade. And I adhere to that standard.
Jennings: If you believe that life begins at conception, is even a first-trimester abortion not murder?
Kerry: No, because it's not the form of life that takes personhood in the terms that we have judged it to be in the past. It's the beginning of life. Does life begin? Yes, it begins.
Is it at the point where I would say that you apply those penalties? The answer is, no, and I believe in choice. I believe in the right to choose, and the government should not involve itself in that choice, beyond where it has in the context of Roe v. Wade.
Washington Post
I could run a long list of clear misleading, clear exaggeration. The linkage to Al Qaida, number four. That said, they are really misleading all of America, Tom, in a profound way. The war on terror is less -- it is occasionally military, and it will be, and it will continue to be for a long time. - John Kerry
Boston Fog Machine
There is not a right or wrong here. There was a correctness in the president's judgment about timing. But that does not mean there was an incorrectness in the judgment other people made about timing.
For you see, Kerry continued, "Again and again and again in the debate, it was made clear that the vote of the U.S. Senate and the House on the authorization of immediate use of force on Jan. 12 was not a vote as to whether or not force should be used. - John Kerry
It is important to remember that this resolution does not authorize the use of American ground troops in Bosnia, nor does it specifically authorize the use of air or naval power. It simply associates the U.S. Senate with the current policies of this administration and of the Security Council. – John Kerry
The Washington Post
And you've got companies like Wal-Mart that are stripping underneath them, that hire part-time people, that have actually advertised to come and work, so they won't do their health care. - John Kerry
The Washington Post
"This president always makes decisions late after things have happened that could have been different had the president made a different decision earlier." - John Kerry
(via Powerline)
War-Torn Democrats
"(I)f you have a breach that, by everybody's standard, at least in the United States, those of us in the House and Senate, and the president, join together and make a judgment, this is indeed a material breach, and then others -- some of them can't be persuaded -- if we have evidence, sufficient to show the materiality of the breach, we should be able to do what Adlai Stevenson did on behalf of the administration, Kennedy administration, and sit in front of the Security Council and say, 'Here is the evidence. It's time for all of you to put up. We need to all do this together.' And that's what I think the resolution that was passed suggests." - John Kerry
New York Times
"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." - John Kerry
(via doubleplusgood infotainment)
Rush Limbaugh.com
No, wait, wait, wait, wait you asked me if I'd met with any leaders. Yes. I have had conversations with leaders, yes, recently. That's not your business, it's mine. I've met with foreign leaders for any (inaudible) purpose - I never said that. What I said was that I have heard from people who are leaders elsewhere in the world who don't appreciate the Bush administration approach and would love to see a change in the leadership of the United States. I'm talking our allies, I'm talking about people who were our friends nine months ago, I'm talking about people who ought to be at our side in Iraq and aren't because this administration has pushed them away in its arrogance, that's what I'm talking about. Are you a registered Republican? Are you a Republican? You answer the question. That's not an answer. Did you vote for George Bush? Did you vote for George Bush? Thank you. - John Kerry
The Boston Globe
"This isn't going to be some kind of, you know, we're-like-them-they're-like-us-wishy-washy-mealy-mouth-you-can't-tell-the-difference deal. This is going to be something where we're giving America a real choice." - John Kerry
TIME Magazine: Interview: John Kerry
TIME: What would you have done about Iraq had you been the President?
KERRY: If I had been the President, I might have gone to war but not the way the President did. It might have been only because we had exhausted the remedies of inspections, only because we had to—because it was the only way to enforce the disarmament. ...
TIME: So, if we don't find WMD, the war wasn't worth the costs? That's a yes?
KERRY: No, I think you can still—wait, no. You can't—that's not a fair question, and I'll tell you why. You can wind up successful in transforming Iraq and changing the dynamics, and that may make it worth it, but that doesn't mean [transforming Iraq] was the cause [that provided the] legitimacy to go. You have to have that distinction. ...
TIME: You've criticized the pre-emptive nature of the Bush doctrine.
KERRY: Let me emphasize: I'll pre-empt where necessary. We are always entitled to do that under the Charter of the U.N., which gives the right of self-defense of a nation. We've always had a doctrine of pre-emption contained in first strike throughout the cold war. So I understand that. It's the extension of it by the Bush Administration to remove a person they don't like that contravenes that.
New York Post
"I voted for what I thought was best for the country. Did I expect Howard Dean to go off to the left and say, 'I'm against everything'? Sure. Did I expect George Bush to f - - - it up as badly as he did?" - John Kerry
New York Post
"I left some blood on a battlefield that President Bush never left anywhere." - John Kerry
The Boston Globe
Those weren't precisely my words, they were the words of a press release sent out. - John Kerry
If we hadn't voted the way we voted, we would not have been able to have a chance of going to the United Nations and stopping the president, in effect, who already had the votes and who was obviously asking serious questions about whether or not the Congress was going to be there to enforce the effort to create a threat. - John Kerry
Hugh Hewitt
Well, ahh, huh, it's interesting to hear that, when they shut the newspaper that belongs to a legitimate voice in Iraq, and, well, let me change the term legitimate --when they shut a newspaper that belongs to a voice, because he has clearly taken on a far more radical tone in recent days, and aligned himself with both Hamas and Hezbollah, which is a sort of terrorist alignment, so it creates its own set of needs in order to deal with the possible future spread of terrorism. But at the same time, if its unaccompanied by a broader set of moves to try and broaden our own base in Iraq, um, I just think it asks for great difficulties. - John Kerry
Yahoo! News - Civil Rights Group Seeks Kerry Apology
"President Clinton was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second." - John Kerry
Guardian Unlimited
"I don't own an SUV,'' said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies.
Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV.
"The family has it. I don't have it,'' he said. - John Kerry
Vic Gold brings into a new category of Kerryisms - possible future Kerryisms - with this from the Washingtonian.
In September John Kerry, out to answer critics who say his speeches are long-winded and rambling, goes to Independence, Missouri, to bask in the legacy of President Harry Truman. He promises that "in my White House, let me assure you, the buck, which is to say the president's ultimate responsibility for administrative action, will definitely end at the desk of the chief executive."
On to the American Legion convention where, invoking the memory of John F. Kennedy, Kerry tells veterans: "Ask not what your country can do for you, either as an individual or a corporation, but what you can do for your country, which isn't to suggest that just because my opponent hasn't won a Silver Star in combat, as some of us have, he isn't qualified to be president."
And finally to Boston in October, where FDR-like he says, "This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny"—only to deny ever saying it after Rush Limbaugh attacks him for having used a French word.

Statement from Speaker Sheldon Silver on Passage of NY SAFE Act:
"The Assembly Majority has long fought for sensible gun laws to protect New Yorkers against unnecessary violence. There are too many victims of senseless gun violence in communities everywhere. I am saddened that it took the devastating events of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and Webster, N.Y., to move people to action.
"No civilian needs or should be able to purchase an assault weapon intended to kill as many human beings as swiftly as possible. Let us be perfectly clear - this bill is about protecting people. Protecting our children. Protecting our families. Protecting first responders, police officers and firefighters.
"The solution to gun violence is not more guns. The solution is sensible new laws like this to finally address the problems we face. Make no mistake, we still have serious questions to answer when it comes to our culture of violence. But we have taken a critical step forward today - a step we owe to the victims of Newtown, Webster and in communities everywhere.
"I applaud Gov. Cuomo's quick and aggressive push for the passage and enactment of gun control measures. This agreement is an impressive start to the 2013 legislative session."

First, a little history on Mindy Lou. She'll be 4 years old around September of this year
I've noticed lately that she doesn't listen to my nearly four year old daughter
juniper8204 wrote:She doesn't tolerate puppies much and has bitten a couple puppies on the nose that got too boisterous...she did get reprimanded for those stunts. I run a pretty tight ship as far as my dogs go; they know that nobody deals out punishment except me.
juniper8204 wrote:She didn't draw blood, so I'm taking it as a warning, but STILL, a warning to what?
pitbullmamaliz wrote:Has Mindy ever shown any other warning behaviors when Mikayla hugs her? Freezing, stares, lip curls, or even calming signals like tongue flicks or yawns? It could be that she's been warning and warning and warning and nobody has noticed (not blaming anybody!) and last night she got tired of warnings.
pitbullmamaliz wrote:For now I would say Mikayla needs to have some rules, too, as to how to act around Mindy - no hugs, no getting in her face, no patting on the head, etc. I'm not big on the whole "pack totem pole ranking" thing so I probably wouldn't say that she is trying to dominate Mikayla. I have a feeling she's probably given a bunch of very small, barely noticeable warnings.
juniper8204 wrote:So starting this morning, we are reminding Mindy that she isn't in control. No couch privilegs, no bed privileges, not as much freedom around the house, making her sit for everything, and tonight she will NOT be sleeping in the bed.
She can be food aggressive with other dogs, but people could put their hands in her bowl all day long, and just get kisses.
I've noticed lately that she doesn't listen to my nearly four year old daughter, and will steal her food when she gets a chance.
tiva wrote:Patricia McConnell, in her book For the Love of a Dog, has fascinating things to say about why people love to hug, and why dogs mostly HATE being hugged, and why every trainer has dealt with cases of dogs that bite family children when the kids try to hug the dog. (see pg 227, and the entire chapter has helpful insights). Good luck.
chako wrote:Dogs don't hug one another, but they also don't scratch or pat each other's rumps, scratch underneath chins, or do a lot of things we do. But the domestic dog has been with humans for quite some time, and there are so many studies that show significant differences between domestic dogs and other canines (including but not limited to wolves). In fact, dogs react to other dogs differently than they react to humans in many ways. They can react aggressively when they see another dog across the street, but be lovey dovie with all people. They may seek out eye contact with their humans, but NOT make eye contact with other dogs.
While I'm not saying a hug is in a dog's vocabulary of body language... I don't find that the VAST majority of dogs dislike hugging. Most dogs seems to like any attention from their people.... Petting, hugs, even eye contact (Generally, dogs don't maintain eye contact with one another, but many dogs sustain eye contact with people for various reasons that have nothing to do with trying to be aggressive, dominant, or any of the other things some people associate with 'eye contact" and dogs). Sometimes the eye contact is taught. Sometimes it's not. Some dogs just do it because they find it works to get them what they want (treats, attention, etc.) or because they're taking cues. In fact, the domestic dog is way ahead of both chimpanzees and wolves (even those raised with humans) in correctly interpreting human body language. I have that study somewhere on my hard drive. I can dig it up upon request.... I hope!

Limar's Ultralight helmet range contains a mixture of road and MTB lids under the title 'The world's lightest helmet' and with the Ultralight Road coming in at just 160g (medium) that could well be true.
The one we're looking at here though is the Ultralight+, still light at 175g (medium) but this has an extra fairing at the rear to aid air flow through the rear compared to the standard Ultralight. It also makes the '+' look a bit more aggressive if you like that sort of thing.
Manufacturing starts with the in mould construction, the foam interior is 'blown in' to the hard shell while it is still in the mould rather than taped or glued in, effectively creating a single construction which allows 22 vents to get the ventilation up while keeping the weight down.
Getting the right fit is a simple procedure whether pre-ride or on the fly; a quick twist of the dial to adjust the cage round your noggin and then quick release cam dividers allow you to tweak the clearance around your ears.
The pads are removable for washing and are also anti bacterial cutting down on whiffy helmet syndrome. Bug mesh is added as part of the in moulding process for the frontal vents, plus included in the box is a padded section for the rear if you want all over protection.
All good so far but nothing really groundbreaking compared to other helmets in the £130 price range (although we've found the Limar cheaper online), so it all comes down to how it feels on your head. The only issue there, you can't actually feel it on your head it's so light and comfortable. I probably only wear a helmet 50% of the time, mostly as I don't enjoy the feeling of having something strapped to my head but with the Limar I was happy to ride for hours with it on. The pads have plenty of cushioning and once the dial is tightened they spread the load well without any pressure points and the padded chinstrap is a nice touch as well.
The three large front vents really scoop the air in over your forehead keeping you cool at speed but even when things get warm on the climbs the sheer number of vents stop any excessive heat build up. The shape of the shell itself is quite shallow, starting quite high up the side of your head - which does at least allow plenty of room for the arms of your sunglasses between helmet and ears.
The Limar is tested to CE EN 1078 so you should be protected to the same level as pretty much every other helmet on the European market. If you do deck it, there is a 50% crash replacement policy (providing you register the helmet within 8 days of purchase) as long as the helmet is less than 3 years old.
Now a hundred and thirty quid is a lot of money for a lump of polystyrene whichever way you look at it but comparing the Ultralight+ to its competitors, it's worth it for both the low weight and comfort.
It is one of the most comfortable helmets I've worn. It's a viable alternative to Giro's Prolight and a choice of five colours and two sizes (M, 53-57cm & L, 57-61cm) should see plenty of options for most people. If you're in the market for a lightweight lid the Ultralight+ is worth considering.
A lightweight, very comfortable helmet with enough features to justify its price tag.

Stu knocked out his first road.cc review back in 2009 and since then he's chucked the best part of seventy test bikes around the West Country, a couple of them quite literally! With three alloy and two steel bikes in his fleet he's definitely a metal man (that'll be the engineering background) but is slowly warming to that modern carbon fibre stuff along with fat tyres & disc brakes.
It's not all nostalgia though, after spending the last few years in product design Stu keeps banging on about how 3D printing is going to be the next big thing and he's a sucker for a beautiful paint job too.

Too, too gorgeous.
I love Corals. I don't get why people are scared of them. But then again, I don't get why people are scared of lurid blue-green multi-sparkle glitter.
But no, my pretties – Coral is not like that. Coral is Peach's cousin. Coral is not quite Orange. Coral is that instant perk-me-up….I love Coral. I am sure that every skintone can wear a certain hue or coral that will look amazing on them.
Anyway here is Bobbi Brown's Cabana Corals offering which I had to post the images off, because its just too gorge.
Let's play, buy or not to buy?
Bobbi Brown Shimmerbrick in Nectar Shimmerbrick (Limited Edition) £29.50:
Me: A buy, yep, nectar sounds peachy-honey like. Its also Limited Edition and only £29.50 – I thought Shimmerbricks cost more like £40? I must have made that up!
Bobbi Brown Pink Quartz Shimmerbrick (Limited Edition) £29.50:
Me: Possible buy. Looks more cool toned and muted, which I like but it depends how frosty it will be. Its Limited Edition so I would be tempted to buy it anyway.
The Lip Colours (3 metallic, 2 normal lip colours) £15.50 each:
Shades a little clearer:
Metallic Lip Color:
1. Coral Reef
2. Calypso Glaze
3. Coral Glaze (Limited Edition)
Lip Colour:
4. Cabo Coral (Limited Edition)
5. Guava
Me: I must have Cabo Coral and I also love the look of Guava – but as that's not limited I am likely to nab Coral Glaze from the Metallic Lip Color range as I am a fan of the texture.
The Metallic Lip Gloss, £14 each in
1. Sunset Beach (Limited Edition)
2. Coral Sand (Limited Edition)
3. Golden Nectar (Limited Edition)
Me: I was going to say I am least interested in Lip Glosses but Sunset Beach is just my kind of shade. And yes, its Limited.
The Cabana Corals Lip & Eye Palette, £48, Limited Edition:
Me: Possible Buy. Could be a nice investment if you don't want to buy too many bits here and there. Not so interested in lip palette colours (even though these shades are exclusive to the palette) but those eyeshadows – stunning! I think they'd look amazing on blue and brown eyes.
Pot Rouge in California Coral, £16.50
Me: This is a no brainer for me – I just LOVE the Pot Rouges and this will for for the cheek or the lips on my complexion. Not limited edition but this is one item I will 100% get my hands on. *evil cackle*
So my imaginary must have list is:
Pot Rouge in California Coral
Lip Shimmer in Sunset Beach
Cabo Coral Lip Colour
Coral Glaze Lip Colour
Nectar Shimmerbrick
My other luxury add ons are:
Pink Quartz Shimmerbrick
Coral Sand Lip Gloss
Coral Lip & Eye Palette

If you have not been to Northwest Hospital in a while, you may be amazed by its new look the next time you visit. Northwest recently experienced major growth, encompassing renovation and/or additions to nearly every area of the hospital. The $100 million project was funded by the hospital's parent company, LifeBridge Health, and a capital campaign called the Renaissance Campaign that raised over $7 million.
Here are some of the new construction highlights:
In late 2008, work was completed on the main entrance of the hospital. Exterior improvements included the installation of a new drive-under canopy and landscaping and streetscaping. Interior upgrades were made to the main information desk, flooring and wall furnishings, and new furniture was added.
Completed in the fall of 2008, renovation has resulted in six outpatient registration stations, a waiting area to seat 65 patients and family members, a greeter's desk, and a registration workroom. Additionally, a phlebotomy room, three financial counselors' offices, administrative offices, patient/visitor restrooms and staff lounge and restrooms were included in this project. The renovated area includes over 7,100 square feet of space.
Known for its compassionate care and multidisciplinary approach, the Herman & Walter Samuelson Breast Care Center is a crown jewel of the hospital. It recently became the first breast center in the area to offer its patients digital mammography, the most advanced technology available to detect breast cancer. Patients rave about the care they receive in the center and rate it highly for customer service. In June 2009, the Samuelson Breast Care Center opened in its new, spa-like space near the main entrance of the hospital and appointed a breast surgeon to be its new medical director.
In spring 2010 a Women's Wellness Center opened on the 4th floor. Led by a female, board-certified gynecologist, the center adopts a holistic philosophy towards women's health. Women can be seen at the center for complete physicals and annual GYN exams, and they can take advantage of special amenities programs offered at the center such meeting with a health coach to develop a personalized, comprehensive wellness plan.
The second floor of the tower expansion was opened in May 2007 and includes a 16-bed state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and a Respiratory Therapy Unit. The new ICU provides spacious patient rooms to better accommodate leading-edge equipment, medical care staff and visitors. Patients admitted to the ICU are under the care of Intensivists, physicians board-certified in critical care medicine, and a multidisciplinary team of nurses, respiratory therapists and others specially trained in critical care medicine.
The tower expansion also involved the addition of a third and fourth floor, which opened in 2008 and consist of 16,422 square feet on each floor. The third floor includes a Sleep Center where sleep studies are performed, an Outpatient Rehabilitation area providing physical therapy, and a Hospice Unit run by Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care to provide end-of-life care. The fourth floor houses a series of private offices and an outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation center for LifeBridge Health's Phase II cardiac rehab patients.
In 2006, the hospital moved its infusion and chemotherapy services to a new space located near the Outpatient Center and closer to other patient support services. This move to a larger space was necessitated by a demand for services that grew rapidly following the program's affiliation with LifeBridge Health's Alvin & Lois Lapidus Cancer Institute in 2004.
Over a decade ago, the hospital started one of Baltimore's first fully dedicated wound care programs. Patients who have open wounds that are difficult to heal, have the potential for infection and cause them unnecessary pain are treated in the center. The latest therapy in the treatment of these wounds is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). This program has grown tremendously over the past few years, and the relocation and expansion of the existing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Suite and renovation of the existing Wound Care area was completed in January 2008.
In early 2010, the hospital's surgical services areas underwent an expansion to create more privacy in waiting and recovery areas, providing the type of healing environment our patients and their families deserve. In April 2010, the SurgiCenter opened in the Northwest Professional Center across the street on Carlson Lane. The SurgiCenter serves same-day surgery patients. These expansions have allowed Northwest Hospital to keep up with the increased demand for surgical resources.
Inpatient units on levels three and four of the main hospital have received enhancements. New flooring, furniture, flat panel TVs and exterior finishes give each of these areas, including private patient rooms and bathrooms, a luxurious feel.
An Immediate Care Unit (IMC) located within the main hospital on the second floor was completed in fall 2008. The IMC includes 12 private patient rooms, treatment rooms and support areas.
Completed in the fall of 2008, the 3,823 square-foot building addition was constructed on the north side of the hospital, between the existing Infusion and Cancer Therapy Unit and the Imaging suites. The new area includes cardiac stress rooms, EEG/EKG rooms with support areas, offices and patient waiting areas.
The new area includes the build-out and expansion of a six-bay inpatient unit for dialysis treatment. Work was completed on the unit in fall 2008.
Available for business February 2008, demolition and renovation occurred to house a new laboratory and associated administrative space totaling approximately 4,880 square feet.
Completed in December 2007, work on the existing 2,667 square foot Pharmacy area included relocation of the existing pneumatic tube station as well as renovation of employee work stations and support areas. New equipment included the addition of MedCarousel®, an automated storage and retrieval system that streamlines medication dispensing. Northwest is one of the first hospitals in Maryland to install this state-of-the-art system.
The Ultrasound Suite was relocated to the former CT Suite on the first level of the main hospital. This renovated area includes an additional 2,686 square feet that houses an expanded patient waiting area, three ultrasound rooms, support areas, corridor upgrades, and restrooms. The new ultrasound area was completed in October 2007.

A report on the pumping and BFing: ive been able to pump and feed a total of 11 times since midnight. My numbers are totally bizarre...sometimes high, sometimes super low...breasts feel like they are emptying each pump or feed. I am probobly ODing on galactagogues and tea and oatmeal too.
I have been renting a hospital grade pump...could it be malfunctioning on me? Should I try to swap it?

Project Description
Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT) is engaged in the design and development of high technology turbomachininery. One area of efficiency improvement is in the reduction of leakage flows through the use of highly efficient sealing technologies. Many of the rotating to static sealing techniques applied today have capabilities limited by the worst case transient gap conditions. More specifically, gaps are set based on the pinch point within the transient response to prevent rubbing and or damage to the sealing device of the rotating and stationary components. This passive approach to clearance setting results in larger steady-state operating clearances. FTT is proposing an active sealing technique to allow for the tightest clearances at the steady-state operating condition. FTT has engaged in the design, manufacture, and testing of air-riding seal technology that "follows" the target surface through axial and radial transient excursions.
Project Benefits
The capability of this sealing approach allows for dramatic improvement in steady-state clearance control and the potential for cooling-air savings. FTT's initial sub-scale rig testing has confirmed the behavior of the sealing technique and intends to further develop this sealing technique and perform a full scale rig demonstration at engine conditions. Under this program, the reduction in secondary airflow leakage will show efficiency potential leading to the 50 percent integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) efficiency goal.

Five Unknown Facts about "Star Wars Episode VII"
Five Unknown Facts about "Star Wars Episode VII"
The upcoming release of "Star Wars Episode VII" is shrouded in mystery, but a few details have surfaced about this upcoming feature film and the other two films in the trilogy. It was recently revealed that JJ Abrams will be the film's director, but even he has been reluctant to reveal any details. According to rumors, the original cast may be in this film, but there has been no formal notification about whether or not Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher will reprise their roles or even make cameo appearances. In the midst of rumors and secrecy, the following five facts are perhaps the most exciting.
1. There will be a new poster artist for "Star Wars VII."
For Star Wars fans, Drew Struzan is practically a household name, and his fame as the poster artist for the other Star Wars films is well deserved. Rumors have flooded the Internet that Struzan would return to create the poster for "Star Wars VII," but sadly, those rumors were found to be untrue. Just as it was being announced the Abrams would direct the film, Struzan updated his Facebook status to say that he would not be designing the new film's poster. He continued to explain that he had never been asked and that even if Disney had asked him to design the poster, he would have declined. Based on Drew's public refusal of the job, it is assumed that this film's poster will have a different artist, and the new look could even extend to the film itself.
2. Some scenes will be filmed in Kent, England.
According to a report that was released by the British tabloid "The Sun," Disney has decided on at least one filming location. Some of the film will be shot at an unused quarry near the Bluewater Mall in Kent, England. "Doctor Who" fans may recognize the quarry, as it has served as a backdrop for more than one "Doctor Who" scene. Unfortunately, this information is still not confirmed, but according to the source at "The Sun," the quarry will be used for several battle scenes during "Star Wars VII." There is no word on where other scenes will be shot.
3. The film will tell its own story.
The new trilogy will not follow the storyline of any of the other films in the franchise, and in fact, it should have a completely new storyline. There was some speculation that the trilogy would explain how Luke met his future wife, but Disney executives have squashed these rumors and promised a completely new tale.
4. "Star Wars VII" may have a female in the lead role.
Even if the original cast returns for "Star Wars Episode VII" the film may have a new lead who may be female. Lucasfilm and the writer Michael Arndt have been working on the story for quite a while, but their progress has been cloaked in silence. Arndt, who won an Academy Award for "Little Miss Sunshine," was hired to write the treatments for "Star Wars Episode VII" as well as the treatments for the eighth and ninth films in the franchise before Lucasfilm was even sold to Disney, but thus far, not a word of his progress has been leaked to the public. Rumors about the possible female lead surfaced when Matthew Vaughn was being interviewed for a job as the film's director. Apparently, he suggested that Chloe Moretz would be a great star for the film. However, he was bypassed for the job, and his suggestion may have even been for a different film.
5. The choice of JJ Abrams as director may delay the making of the film.
By hiring Abrams as the film's director, the producers ensured that they had a competent person for the job, but their choice may have also delayed the movie's release. As a successful director, Abrams has a busy calendar. His film "Star Trek Into Darkness" hit the big screen on May 16th, and he had to do a lot of publicity work in the months surrounding that release. He also has his own production company, Bad Robot Productions, which he has to pay some attention to as well. While Abrams was interviewed by the press, he refused to reveal any details at all, and he made no comment on whether or not the film would be delayed. However, he has not publicly committed to the film's projected 2015 release date, and fans fear that the film might even be delayed until 2016.

In real life when you finish a project, you deliver it to a customer, wrap it up as a gift or put it in your house and hope your family says nice things about it. In the curious world of magazines, there is an extra step in between "I'm done" and "what do you think, really?" – the woodworking photo session. It's a big deal to us because that single image can inspire someone to pick up the magazine and buy it, and perhaps build the project themselves.
If we're shooting in the shop, there are a few steps we always go through. With years of experience behind us, we have found that the most attractive images are taken when all the benches in the shop are moved into a position where:
- Actual work on any bench or any nearby machinery would be physically impossible.
- Movement between any two points in the room requires walking around, over or under a bench.
With those things accomplished, as many cables and cords as can be found are placed across any remaining navigational paths. Then the photographer randomly selects tools and puts them in unlikely combinations and positions on the bench. Plane shavings are creatively placed here and there. If we had a larger budget, we would hire a full time shavings fluffer, but our photographer does it himself. If the person who built the project is to be in the picture, the photographer poses him in the most awkward and painful position possible. If not, the person who built the project suggests a point of view that puts the photographer in the most painful and awkward position possible. Paybacks are, well, paybacks. Finally, everyone present enters into a lengthy discussion about the appearance of inconsequential objects in the background.
This week, editor Megan Fitzpatrick threw a new wrinkle into the mix with the suggestion that it would look cool if, in addition to the completed project in the foreground, a couple of in-progress versions of the same project were in the background. That idea wasn't as farfetched as it may sound, as the "in-progress" pieces were at hand. The reason for that is that I built the project, and I often fall into the trap of "batch production." Batch processing isn't listed as a behavioral disorder in the DSM-IV, but perhaps it should be. I blame it on my early training as a cabinetmaker. The reasoning goes like this: "As long as I'm setting up to make this, I might as well make some extra parts. Since I have these extra parts, I might as well make a second one, or even a third."
Things got out of hand with this project. In addition to being an article for the magazine, we shot a video during construction. So I made a prototype first, to determine the best processes to show in print and in video. I gathered enough wood for two: one for the article and one for the video. Then I began to wonder if the wood combinations (tiger maple and ebonized walnut) might look better with the pieces reversed. So I gathered enough wood to make two that way. Then I showed my wife a picture of the original, which was painted. So I gathered wood to make a plain version so that she (not me) could take a stab at reproducing the original painting.
After completing the prototype, I cut parts for five more. At the moment, I only have one finished, the one that will appear in the magazine. The prototype is close, but I need to find a Saturday afternoon to smooth out the rough parts and do the details. The one that will be painted is about halfway, maybe I can do it the Sunday after the Saturday. The others will probably stay as parts for a while. I need to move on to future projects. So I stacked the pieces out of the way for the photo shoot. On top of a half-finished project, and above extras for another half-finished project.
Note, the projects in the photo above were featured in articles for Popular Woodworking Magazine. You can find the original articles (and a whole bunch more) in our back issue archive disc, on sale now in our store.

I was claiming the left lane to turn left. A company ute cut across in front of me from the right lane across the dividing solid lines, turned left (straight into into the right lane of the other road), and immediately after got stuck in traffic while I rolled past in the left lane. It saved him absolutely zero time and was just done to be a jerk, I think.
I have the full video, but I have sent it to the company and am awaiting their response before I post it.
The thing that I though was odd is that this guy obviously thought I was some nobody cyclist who he can treat like dirt. But I am actually a customer of this business and have spent money there irregularly over a long period of time and very coincidentally was about to do so again this coming week. Obviously now I'm not. The guy who sits next to me at work rides a motor bike and is a customer of theirs too but was very unimpressed by the footage.
It's just so silly that in this time of struggling retail for companies to actively look for ways of losing customers. I don't get it. I've at least let the company know what has happened and that they've lost 2 customers in one go and the work day hadn't even started yet...
Instant karma!
It's nice when you can act as a broker of karma.
This sort of thing is an issue for business the world round - not just talking about employees in signwritten cars. The guy in the car most likely doesn't have a stake in the company other than his paycheque, so he doesn't consider the consequences of his actions on the road. Getting employees to have a holistic view of any business is a tough nut to crack.
But either way, that guy will learn his lesson if the business takes your email/video seriously, and there's no reason for them not to. Wouldn't mind being updated with their response (and of course seeing the footage).

I made a similar salad but added rotini pasta and left out the onions. You're absolutely right. It's wonderfully refreshing.

If you sprinkle some vinegar (red wine vinegar goes great with this salad) and salt on the onions before you add them to the salad, their taste/smell won't be as pungent.
I love shopska salata :)

With a team that had no seniors and only four juniors among its 15 members, the Plymouth State College women's basketball team completed a transition year in 1997-98.
The new-look Panthers experienced some highs and some lows during the '97-98 campaign. From winning the M.I.T. Tip-Off Tournament at the beginning of the season to getting eliminated from the Little East Conference Tournament at the end, third-year coach Marti Kingsley was able to put a competitive team on the floor. PSC flirted with the .500 mark most of the season, and finished at 11-13 overall and a sixth place in the LEC at 4-10.
While all of the players could return to next year's team, the Panthers will no doubt have a different look without Coach Kingsley, who announced her resignation at the conclusion of the season.
"I'm very pleased with the progress of the young players," said Kingsley, who led PSC to a 37-38 record in her three seasons. "I feel the new coach will have a strong nucleus to build on, and Plymouth State is only a game or two away from being a solid post-season contender."
While depth was an asset on the 1997-98 Panthers, with 10 players averaging at least 10 minutes a game, the team was led by junior center Becky Morse (Sterling, MA) and sophomore guard Courtney Jacques (Belmont, NH). Morse was a solid inside force, averaging 11.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per game and earning honorable mention on the All-LEC Team. She scored a career high 33 points at Rivier College, and posted double-doubles in points and rebounds seven times. Jacques excelled after making the move to point guard, averaging 9.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. She also shot 72 percent from the free throw line, and was one of PSC's top defenders, averaging two steals a contest.
"Morse is a solid post player, one that other teams have to contend with," said Kingsley. "If she can develop more consistency and stay injury free, she has a chance to be one of the really good ones. Courtney Jacques had an outstanding season. I thought she improved a lot and became one of the better players in the LEC."
PSC had two top-notch freshmen on the team in Krystyna Zagorski (Cliffwood, NJ) and Kate Fillion (Littleton, NH). Zagorski used her excellent quickness and ability to average 6.6 points and 6.0 rebounds in what was a solid rookie campaign. She was one of the top first-year players in the league, receiving LEC Rookie of the Week honors three times. Fillion was the team's top threat from three-point range, as she connected on 37-of-104 from beyond the arc. She was also a top defensive player, making 12 blocks and 26 steals.
Joining Morse and Zagorski along the front line for PSC was sophomore Jessica Shapiro (Windsor Locks, CT). Perhaps the team's best rebounder, Shapiro hauled in 7.2 boards a game while contributing 6.9 points. Junior Shelby Fontaine (Eliot, ME) also started the last 21 games, chipping in 4.5 points and 2.3 rebounds.
Three guards who all saw playing time in the Panther backcourt are junior Brenna Matarazzo (Salem, NH) and sophomores Lynn Hersey (Dexter, ME) and Jackie Blanchard (Plymouth, MA). Matarazzo, a three-year veteran who can play either guard position, hit 21-of-60 from three-point range (35 percent), while Hersey, who started 13 of the 24 games, drained 26-of-102 three-point attempts. Blanchard moved into the line-up after earning All-New England honors in soccer, and contributed 4.5 points a game, including 23-of-69 (.333) from beyond the arc.
Junior Leslie Adams (Richmont, VT), the team captain, saw limited playing time after coming back from a season ending knee injury that ended her sophomore year. She showed signs of returning to the form that was averaging nearly eight points and eight rebounds a game. Freshman Amy Osterhaudt (Salem, NY) gained valuable playing time as a first-year, getting 10.7 minutes a game and averaging 2.8 points.
Rounding out the roster were four reserves - sophomore forward Melissa Burgess (West Hartford, CT), freshman forward Mandy Green (Sanbornton, NH) and freshmen guards Laura LaVallee (Lincoln, ME) and Tracy Bronson (Landaff, NH).
