&lt;p&gt;*HERE*&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/k5nGHWlMOW4VsmKn9g-tGA?authkey=7uHjF849ST8"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_akCYDvHe1_0/SQoheSedSFI/AAAAAAAAAM4/onDc3W91k70/s288/04.07.06JC015.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/clay.hubbs/News?authkey=7uHjF849ST8"&gt;News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*THERE*&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;excerpt&gt;How does your field get from here to there?  Barney Lopas will tell you.  Barney is the Head Groundskeeper for the L.A. Angels of Anaheim, field guru, and an all around good guy to know.  Why does Barney care what your field looks like?  Barney believes that all kids from his own elementary schoolers, to the young at heart senior leaguers should have access to great fields- *and great fields are possible for any budget with the right techniques.*&lt;/excerpt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All of Barney's friends will be there, so you can learn from the best at no charge.  Guests include: Grant Trenbeath, Head Groundskeeper of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Mark Razum, Head Groundskeeper of the Colorado Rockies, and Clay Wood, Head Groundskeeper of the Oakland Athletics.  It's like having a living encyclopedia of grounds keeping with free lunch, raffle prizes and a lot of fun.  What more could you ask for?  How about an inspirational speaker that makes you feel good about yourself.  If you missed last year's guest speaker, you missed a lot.  Former Angel and current commentator, Rex Hudler gave a groundbreaking speech on the direct connection between his playing success as a result of groundskeepers who care.  What will be said this year?  Don't miss this year's guest speaker, baseball great and former major league manager Bob Boone.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Why you should know Thomas Luginb&#252;hl, a memorial.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;excerpt&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9I4fNf-v7KmezTMu4YaLbg?authkey=7uHjF849ST8"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/clay.hubbs/SOKOQV1OWpI/AAAAAAAAAKg/la3oENbUszA/s288/Tom%201.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/clay.hubbs/News?authkey=7uHjF849ST8"&gt;News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt;Our Stabilizer family suffered a great loss last week.  The passing of Thomas Luginb&#252;hl deeply impacts even those of you who did not known him.  You will find out why later, but first a little background.  Tom is the son of Hans Luginb&#252;hl, owner of Stabilizer 2000- our European partner. Tom was a close personal friend and my counterpart in the Stabilizer 2000 organization, but he was so much more than that.  Beloved son, brother, husband, uncle and friend, no words completely sum up who he was, but one word does come to mind: *pioneer.*&lt;/excerpt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*Tom zigged __and__ zagged* 
&lt;br /&gt;While the other Swiss men were playing handball and soccer, Tom was learning baseball and watching American football.  He was the heart and soul of his handball team, and the guy who hits the game winning homers for his baseball club.  Tom was able to do many things well.  It was like he was thinking two steps ahead of the rest of us.  But he wasn't just a thinker.  He gave birth to his ideas in the real world.  Tom was the proud creator of two companies.  One, a graffiti removal company whose success was driven by the special removal technique that he developed.  Second, an Internet chewing gum club.  I can't imagine where he found time to manage both companies and still be able to come up with great innovations for Stabilizer 2000.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*Tom kicked open new doors*
&lt;br /&gt; Among his many innovations was Stabilizer Seed Fix- a special Stabilizer blend that is the perfect tackifying agent for hydroseeding.  Developing new products like Seed Fix, landing important projects, and growing amazing marketing ideas were all things Tom did to build Stabilizer's European presence to what it is today.  It is amazing what they have been able to accomplish in Europe, *but Tom's ideas have influenced our worldwide direction.*  Tom identified very early on the importance of the Internet as a communication tool. His dedication to perfection has led to incredible usage statistics on his website.  Creations like the NCS Configuration tool, Stabilizer Partner Net, and the newsletter (with tremendous effort from his sister Corinne) laid the foundation for his site to receive over 300,000 hits in one month. Take a look at *"www.stabilizer2000.com":http://www.stabilizer2000.com/* as it is the inspiration for this very site.  With his unrelenting spirit, Tom essentially willed the entire Stabilizer family into the information age for the benefit of us all.  He gave us a method of communication that may just ensure the success of our Stabilizer family for years to come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*Why __you__ really need to know Tom*
&lt;br /&gt;You need to know Tom, and it has nothing to do with Stabilizer.  Tom died of stomach cancer.  His last weeks were filled with physical pain, truly a struggle just to move.  But through that pain, in his weakest physical form, *his spirit developed into its strongest form.*  He still thought two steps ahead.  Thinking two steps ahead about what really matters in this life.  Tom soaked up every second, he found joy in everything.  Spending time with his family and wife, video games, and all aspects of food from cooking to eating, helped Tom get out of bed each morning.  He deeply loved these moments, and through all the pain, __he still loved to take risks.__  For his final risk, Tom took up painting. Never touching a brush in his life, Tom proclaimed to the world that he would paint 20 paintings.  Once those 20 paintings were completed he would put on an art show for all to see.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*Tom finished 19 1/2 paintings.*  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When was the last time you took a risk?  Email me at clay.hubbs@stabilizersolutions.com. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Be a part of history, read the first news post!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;excerpt&gt;Hello everybody.  My name is Clayton Hubbs, the voice behind this website for Stabilizer Solutions Inc.  Our company's goal is to develop technology that improves natural soil for a variety of uses, and hopefully makes your lives easier along the way.  This website is no exception.  We are using a variety of internet technologies to make buying and using our products even easier for you.&lt;/excerpt&gt; I'll just point out a few of those features:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;# Download information at your fingertips- specifications, brochures, and installation guides right from the product pages
&lt;br /&gt;# Contact us instantly, including our complimentary Consulting Services-  step by step help in planning a new field or renovation 
&lt;br /&gt;# Buy instantly online, backed by the experience of the world's biggest online retailer- Amazon.com

&lt;p&gt;A quick note about internet automation and Stabilizer Solutions.  If you haven't read the "About Us":http://www.stabilizersolutions.com/page/about page then you might not know that Stabilizer Solutions is a small family company started by two brothers.  It is my observation that most internet automation distances the customer from the people behind the company.  In our case, we are using technology to provide options that meet our customer's preferences.  Everything we do is still backed by the same people (family members and close friends) who have been involved with this company from the beginning.  In that same spirit, if you have any ideas or comments, please email me directly at clay.hubbs@stabilizersolutions.com.&lt;/p&gt;
