  1. For Immediate Release Carson High Teachers Fly with Blue Angels Minden, Nev. (Oct. 10, 2018) — Two Carson High School teachers, Billy McHenry, Math and Entrepreneurship, and Matt Morgan, AP U.S. History, were nominated by their peers as Blue Angels' Key Influencers: people who help to shape attitudes and opinions of youth in their community. As part of the honor, this morning they both had the opportunity to fly tandem with the US Navy’s Lieutenant Commander Andre Webb, pilot of the No. 7 Blue Angels F/A – 18 Hornet. Both McHenry and Morgan felt the need…the need for speed!…after donning flight-jumpsuits and undergoing the pre-flight briefing. After strapping in to the five-point safety restraint system and properly fitted with a “Maverick or Goose” semblance helmet and visor, the two teachers each gave a thumbs up as the canopy of the cockpit closed and the supersonic, twin-engines flared loudly. Following the vertical takeoff, a few barrel rolls, a couple hard-banked 2-G turns, a 7-G bank and more than 45 minutes of flight over Tahoe, Carson City and Minden, the two teachers were less than thrilled to admit who lost their lunch and who passed out. The teachers were first nominated by their colleagues as teacher(s) of the month at Carson High School during the 2017-2018 school year. Being selected to fly in a jet with a Blue Angels pilot was, in their words, a chance of a lifetime. “We are fortunate to have teachers like Mr. McHenry and Mr. Morgan,” said Richard Stokes, superintendent for the Carson City School District. “They each provide valuable and dynamic support to both the administrative teams at the High School as well as the students they inspire and help each day.” The high school made the Blue Angels’ Key Influencers announcement to the school in the library Tuesday morning. The flights were offered Wednesday morning at the Minden-Tahoe Airport. The Blue Angels will later deliver a presentation about their “Culture of Excellence” at Carson High School this Friday morning from 8:30-9:15 in the big gym. Below are individual bios of both teachers to outline why they were selected for this honor. Billy McHenry has been teaching and coaching for 27 years. While always dedicated to working in the classroom, he has dedicated thousands of hours outside the classroom as a coach and advisor. He taught 6th grade for four years. He taught high school math for 16 years. He has been teaching Entrepreneurship at the high school for the last 7 years. He was the Carson High School Teacher of the Year for 2007. One reason he received that award was his work with students to help them pass the Math High School Proficiency Exam. He is credited with helping hundreds of students obtain their high school diploma that would not have earned it without his support and instruction in his proficiency math class. For the last 7 years he has been running the business classes at Carson High School. During that time, he has been the Future Business Leaders of America Advisor. He also created, organized, and ran the Carson High Shark Tank Competition. In this competition Carson High School students are required to create a business plan or product and sell it to a panel of community members. This competition has been a huge success and has resulted in Carson High School students competing at the state and national level in business competitions. He has been a football coach for 24 years of the 27 years that he has been teaching. He has coached at all levels and has a reputation as a fiery leader that inspires his players to work hard. Despite the different ability levels of his players, he has made sure that no single player was more important than the team. Players that work hard were given the opportunity to play despite physical limitations. He demands hard work and effort and the players respond to his expectations. Over the last 5 years he has been one of the Alpine Ski coaches at Carson High School. He coached track for 10 years. He has been an advisor for Fellowship of Christian Athletes for 20 years. In 2007, he was the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Coach of the Year. As the Carson High School Entrepreneurship Teacher he strives to bring community business leaders into the classroom, so that his students see what it takes to be successful in business today. He guides and inspires students to create their own business plans. He teaches students about personal finance and helps them create budgets to create fiscally responsible young adults. He has taught students that have gone on to compete at national competitions for Future Business Leaders of America. He is passionate about business and inspires his students to go further than just the classroom. He was selected as the Northern Nevada Junior Achievement Teacher of the Year because of his dedication and ability to inspire youth. He was one of nine teachers out of a staff of more than 100 teachers to earn teacher of the month at Carson High School during the 2017-2018 school year.

  4. EARE is awesome. When you apply the Player Card pics in EARE....What happens to the rom?
  5. EARE works perfectly for me. You just have to make sure your player card list is correct.

  7. @kingraph you still have time! Need to be there! https://www.google.com/flights?q=new+york+to+vancouver+flights&safe=active&client=firefox-b-1-ab&source=lnms&impression_in_search=true&mode_promoted=true&tbm=flm&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwivnZLZxdbdAhUOIDQIHdq1CzYQ_AUIDigB#flt=/m/02_286.YVR.2018-10-11.EWRORD0AA2486~ORDYVR0AA1585*YVR./m/02_286.2018-10-15;c:USD;e:1;sd:1;t:f;sp:.USD.34400 Cheaper than my flight! Who has been/is going to all 3 King of 94's? @smozoma @IAmFleury'sHipCheck @angryjay93 @CoachMac @halifax @annatar Anybody else?
  8. Good point, disrespecting @smozoma is a bad idea. @angryjay93 1-1 unless he gets his thumbs caught in a meat grinder or agrees to play all games as Anaheim. @corbettkb 20-1 @smozoma 25-1 @IAmFleury'sHipCheck 25-1 @CoachMac 100-1 Everyone else 100-1 Thanks for bringing up my greatest 94 moment (beating @kingraph in GB) though he came back to totally dominate me in the Playoffs with 2 straight decisive victories and my win was one of those one in a million games where everything went right for me and wrong for him and I still barely won 5-4. Still it was my 1980 USA vs USSR moment. For 20 minutes I was the greatest NHL '94 player in the world. [Addressing the team before the US-USSR game] Great moments...are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them...and we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time! Now go out there and take it!
  9. @angryjay93 almost a lock to win. @corbettkb 20-1 @IAmFleury'sHipCheck 25-1 @smozoma 50-1 Everyone else 100-1
  10. NHL Series works just like TSB. It is literally one byte that determines CPU vs CPU games.
  11. 1 week remaining in Regular Season. Playoffs are 1v3 and 2v4 Based solely on Points.
  12. Great Start to the Season. Regular Season ends in 2 weeks on October 1. Playoffs are Top 4 based solely on Points. Semi-Finals 1v3 and 2v4 http://www.nhl94online.com/html/standings.php?lg=57&sublg=GENS
  13. I will do what I can at thrift shops on the way up I can also bring my Gens HD thing, but Everdrive does not work on it, just Original carts.
  14. Good job! EA. I'll have a system and TWO Everdrives so we can have TWO 2v2 set ups if we want. I am also going to try and pick up a CRT TV on my drive up from Seattle. Maybe we could call LaQ and ask if TV's have the inputs we need.
  15. I am for lots of polish. I made a rom with the Pro Set Logo, Improved uniforms, logos, and player cards. The after the whistle checks I like to rack them up. They took fighting out, after whistle checks is my answer to no fighting. I don't like the idea of showing actual attributes. This will be a big can of worms. Have at it boys!
  16. I like 60. The Federal League Rom just has guys from the Movie all rated 81. I made it originally as a 2v2 rom with just the Chiefs and Bulldaogs and am converting it to 5v5 for this league and including all the teams from the Movie. Broome County Blades Charlestown Chiefs Hyannisport Presidents Lancaster Gears Long Island Ducks Peterboro Patriots Syracuse Bulldogs Plus I could add custom teams people want. Rockford Ice Hogs for Brutus etc... if we have more than 7. Since this is different would be cool to have different teams and this is more a minor league. We could even make some of the guys from the movie as new players with low, unique ratings.
  17. These guys are in my Original 6 roms. I love these unique type players. They have different names but very similar attributes. In many of my 1950's roms, Rudy Migay of Toronto has Randy Wood's attributes, and George Armstrong, Joe Klukay, and Ed Westfall have Folingo and Eagle's attributes. I would suggest letting @angryjay93 set the parameters of the players, in fact we could just draft the teams he drafted to create the Capitals. He did like 14 teams. I included the KC Scouts he drafted/created in the summer rom. I am working on the rom now. It is the Federal League. IF you guys like it we can use it, if not I had fun making it.
  18. Season is on. Huge Thanks to @chaos for setting us up to upload games. @corbettkb and I kicked it off tonight with a 7 game set. I would suggest that as the form of play. We played all 7 at my place, next time at his. 0-6-1 start for Montreal could spell trouble for me. This will be a tough competitive league. Regular Season ends on October 1. Semi-Finals done by October 8. Finals by October 15.
  19. Predictions for PRL 4 (1967) #1 Chicago @MikeGartner22 this guy is a rising Superstar. He played the full slate of 160 games in @jackandjose Summer League. He has been regularly mixing it up in 2v2 action, he did well at the Long Island Retro-fest and has excellent GC skills. He has by far and away the best roster in this rom. The Hawks are loaded and the best team at forward, on defense, and in goal. @MikeGartner22 was brought in as coach to do what Billy Reay could not. I think he can do what the real 1967 Hawks could not and bring home the Stanley Cup. #2 New York @corbettkb the Lou Gehrig of '94, a true Ironman, no one plays more or plays harder, He has a real opportunity to capture his first online championship. The Rangers have some speed and talent and an All-Star Goalie. Can the deliver a parade on Broadway. #3 Boston @IceStorm70 this will take some mad skills to lead this team to the promised land, but I believe they have the right man in Boston. Ice has 6/6 skating Bobby Orr, but not much else. His skills will be tested. This is a team @angryjay93 would love. The question is can Ice be patient and change the Bruins fate from 1967. Can he start the Hockey revival in Boston a year early. We think so! #4 Detroit @aqualizard this is a tough call between 4 and 5. Aqua has improved over the last year and I am giving him the nod for the 4 spot based on his teams skill. Weak Goaltending will test just how far Aqua has come in his GC. #5 Toronto @AtomicRaven this could guy has skills and has been beating Aqua in preseason action so this pick will probably put a bee in his bonnet. Toronto has a fairly weak roster and will be to much for Atomic to overcome over the course of a 70 game season. #6 Montreal @CoachMac not quite enough here talent wise for Montreal to compete with me at the sticks. The '66 Canadiens would have made me more competitive. Playoffs Semi-Finals #3 Boston over #1 Chicago in 7 #2 New York over #4 Detroit in 6 Consolation Round #5 Toronto over #6 Montreal in 5 Stanley Cup Final #2 New York over #3 Boston in 7 @corbettkb is my pick to win PRL 4 (1967)! Season starts tonight!
  20. Glad you are good Brutus! Colon Cancer is real, but also super easy to prevent. Get a colonoscopy (not pleasant but far better than dying, which is what will happen if you don't get checked and you have cancer, you won't know it until it is to late without getting checked). They go up your backside with a camera and a snipper. If they see pre-cancerous growths they get it right now. Super-easy, I've had 3 (40, 45, and 50) lucky me, I get another one at 55. I have always gotten a perfect report. Funny part for me is it is one of my former players who does my colonoscopy and as he says I've seen you a whole new way Coach.
  21. Lots of great ideas from Summer League. I had considered a Double Elimination Playoff. Yes. 1v3 and 2v4 plus we will do a 5v6 consolation round.
  22. C/B fix is so that in WBF rom you can't C/B check with the little guys. All of my roms have it and all WBF leagues use it.
