Kiss Wins Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series Event No. 1
12 December 2010
Miami, Fla. — 2010 Audi Melges 20 USA Sailing Series Champion Michael Kiss, from Holland, Mich. and crew comprised of Chris Rast and Jamie Kimball on Bacio took the 25-strong Miami Winter Series fleet by storm winning all three of Sunday's races and the event by a substantial 8 points. "It's great to be here in Coconut Grove. The breeze was much better today than yesterday. We just had a great time sailing the Audi Melges 20." said Kiss post racing. In second overall was California's Sid Gorham on Funner, and in third was Tony Tabb on Elevation Racing.
Stunning conditions greeted the fleet with light and variable winds for a start scheduled one hour earlier than originally planned. There were no complaints as plentiful sunshine and breeze were on hand for race two. Kiss got off to a rough start, being called over at the one minute, clawing his way back to battle for first against Ryan DeVos on Volpe and Russell Lucas on Shimmer. Kiss rounded second behind DeVos at the final weathermark, hugging the right side for pressure pulling away from the fleet and taking the win. Lucas followed suit to take second place, DeVos settled for third.
With the breeze on the increase (13-15 knots), an aggressive start of the second race gave way to another stellar performance by Kiss being challenged by Mary Anne Ward on M&M Sailing, Gorham and Paul Reilly on Red Sky Sailing. Kiss won the finish, leaving Ward, Gorham, Reilly and Tabb to round out the top five slots.
The third and final race of the day sealed the deal for Kiss as a dynamic pin end start led to a huge port tack lead. Kiss commanded the race at the top mark with Marc Hollerbach on Fu in second and Tabb in third. The top tier held their positions through the gate, back upwind. For the final downwind run, Kiss blistered the course with Hollerbach and Tabb desperately trying to catch up.
Afterwards, teams piled into Miami's famous Shake-A-Leg for haul-out and an awards presentation to each of the winning competitors by Melges' Andy Burdick. Burdick thanked all the competitors who participated, recognized the incredibly organized efforts of event host Coconut Grove Sailing Club, as well as Bruce Golison and his phenomenal race committee team. He also thanked Joy Dunigan for her contributions made to the class thus far as International Administrator. Each took home a token of appreciation from the International Audi Melges 20 Class Association.

Porsche's German museum is the stuff of Stanley Kubrick's dreams. Well, would've been, had he been alive to visit the all-white building, full of clean lines and futuristic-finishings. I don't care much for cars, but hotdamn I have to visit.
The museum opened last year in Zuffenhausen, near Stuttgart, and tells the story of how one of the most famous car manufacturers entered the world and stole the hearts of piston-heads everywhere. Over 80 exhibitions are on show in the 5,600 square meter building, which reportedly cost 100 million Euros ($130m USD) to construct. [Porsche Museum via DesignLenta - Thanks, майоръ!]

As the days tick by since Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got engaged, the details (or rumors?) about their big day continue to slowly trickle a la ice luge into the wagging tongues of the public. And we like it. The latest piece of Aniston goss isn't about the actual big day, though. It's about the second most important thing: The bachelorette party. And how Jen's two besties (and reported bridesmaids) -- Courteney Cox and Chelsea Handler -- are caught up in an argument over which direction the lady-party should go in: Plastic Wiener Extravaganza or Massages and Mimosas.
As you may be able to deduce, Courteney, Jen's original bestie, is insisting the bash not be "crass" (aka, no balloon hats shaped like penises). She's thinking more a more "elegant" affair. A civilized ladies' weekend, if you will. Chelsea, on the other hand, is itching for a "raucous" night out, replete with male strippers and pole dancing.
First world problem is, though, despite Jen's efforts to form a peace treaty between the women, neither side wants to budge. According to a source: "It's ridiculous. Chelsea and Courteney have never managed to bond, despite Jen's desperate attempts. Jen has begged them to go to dinner again -- it means a lot to her that they get along. Chelsea feels she's already made the effort, and Courteney just thinks she's not very mature."
If this nonsense is true, I'd have to put my money on Jen siding with Team Courteney. She's known her longer, and although Jen seems like a fun gal, she seems more "massage-y" than "blinking tiara-y". And, at the end of the day, aren't we all?
Did you have a bachelorette party? Details please, thanks.

Anyway, good chapter. It shows us something new (armored Kurama) and some revealing stuff (Madara & Hashirama were childhood friends/rivals). And Goddamn Hashirama! He summons a Buddha with thousands of hands which is a lot bigger than Kurama itself!
Btw, kid-Hashirama looks like Gai-sensei.

i was liking this chapter until the flashback goes to when they were kids and it totally reminded me of sasuke and naruto, and jiraiya and oro. so madara and hashirama were like sasuke and naruto, and jiraiya and oro in their day. and then there's kakashi and obito as well. how many parallels do we need in this manga? i have no problems with madara and hashirama being compared to sasuke and naruto, that has been established long ago, but do they have to be childhood friends turned enemies too?

It's impressive no doubt. But the way the jutsu's are pulled out of thin air one after the other without real meaning is where the story is let down.
If Hashirama was wounded and at a severe disadvantage, by giving Madara all benefit of the doubt that he no longer treasures their friendship, then after all that pulls out the Thousand Palms of Budda no jutsu, I'd be happy with that.
But Hashirama arse-pulls this one out without breaking a sweat. Impressive, but completely cheapens all sorts of jutsu before in the story.

It's pretty lame though how Kishi has retconned Hashirama these last few chapters. He just upped his strength by a 1000 compared to his first edo summoning. Current Naruto (who's a Jinchuuriki) would be creamed by him.
He made both Madara and Hashirama too powerful that it messes up the story. How is it possible that a Madara Hashirama alliance did not conquer the Ninja world?
I just get the feeling that Kishi wrote himself into a corner and pulled a Kubo and just decided not to care about some plot holes.
It was an enjoyable chapter, though it didn't need the flashback in the flashback. Still this fight is going to be awesome when animated.

These type of overpowered DBZ level fights don't really work in the manga and can really only be appreciated in the anime. It is just hard to follow the action. I am actually glad it is over.
Betting anything Mito becomes important in the next chapter. You got the goofy guy with the heart of gold and the grumpy genius. Time for the girl they both like.

A spectator selects a card from a shuffled deck. Free choice. No force. Remove two cards from the card box and explain that these two cards have been treated with special chemicals that can "actually melt and dissolve other playing cards!"Show all three cards on both sides. They appear to be regular Bicycle poker-size cards.Take the two "chemically treated" cards and place them face to face. Hold the packet sideways by the top and bottom edges.Now, insert the spectator's card between the other two, but only about 1/4 of the way. Show the packet back and front with the chosen card sticking out, proving that the chosen card is really trapped between the other two.Push the narrow end of the chosen card all the way through the wide side of the packet. Show the packet once again, back and front. The chosen card can be seen sticking out of both sides of the packet.Push the chosen card up and down between the "chemical cards" a couple of times. Then, pull the chosen card up so only its top half can be seen.Rest the bottom wide edge of the packet on your palm. Push the card down into the packet, and the Meltdown begins!The chosen card goes in the top of the packet, but it doesn't seem to be coming out the bottom. It looks like the card is melting downward into your hand! The card goes in, but it doesn't come out!
To prove that the chosen card has indeed melted, pull the two chemical cards apart and show that the chosen card has indeed dissolved and vanished! Show the cards back and front. There is no sign of the chosen card.
Now for the hard part, bringing the card back.Put the packet back together. Say the magic words. Pull the card from the top of the packet, and it reappears!! In the end, all cards are shown separately, back and front.
Meltdown uses a brand-new concept to accomplish the visual melting! The specially-made Meltdown gimmick does 90% of the work for you. No extra cards are used! Comes complete with everything needed to perform the illusion. Very easy to do.

I got some good constructive criticism recently about the ways that I express myself regarding feminism, and it's got me to thinking. A friend of mine who is active in various feminist realms, pointed out to me that my writing about feminism often feels "detached", and as such is frustrating to her, because she sees that from other men who identify as feminists (or pro-feminists) as well. From her point of view, when it comes to men and feminism, the ways that men express themselves often betray that it's 'Just Theory' to them.
I started off writing this post imagining that I would write something definitive, but then i recognized what a big issue it was--for me and perhaps for others--that I thought I'd just throw some ideas out there and see what sticks to the interweb, and hopefully write some follow-up posts.
The Armchair
On the face of it, it's pretty obvious why feminist men have to be careful to not slip into Armchair Feminism. Women feminists have constant, personal reminders (all too constant) of why the world needs feminism -- they experience (for instance) sexism daily on the street, at work, and at home, and they experience it as a loss of freedom, of safety, of fairness. But of course men also live in this world, and once men start viewing the world through feminist lenses, we also have daily reminders -- living in a sexist world, how could we not? And I would even say that we experience a loss due to sexism: Men lose out on being fully human, for instance, due to the gender socialization that teaches them (oversimplifying here) to "be strong" and "be a man". I think it's important to not play that experience of loss down, because I think it is lived experience, and because it affects men on deep levels that aren't acknowledged enough (especially by men themselves!). That's one reason why I find myself talking about it quite a bit here at FA.
That said, from where I'm standing, talking to friends and interacting with other feminists in various ways, there is a way in which feminist women have less choice about being active in feminism, in fighting the good fight. Women feminists (at times) have to fight the good fight because the fight is so often brought right up to them. Feminist men more often have the luxury of being able to speak from a theoretical perspective, and we are to various degrees blind to the ways in which male privilege encourages us to speak only from a theoretical perspective.
(Meta Note: Writing about Armchair Feminism is, in many ways, an expression of Armchair Feminism itself.)
Men's Place in Feminism
Some of the, shall we say, "tentativeness" with which I write about feminism comes from the complexities of being a feminist man, of wanting to carefully navigate space that has been created by (mostly) women, and in some cases is thought of as a safe space for women, a refuge from a sexist world. Which is not to say that I haven't felt entirely welcome in some feminist spaces--in fact, I've felt very welcome in most feminist spaces, both online and in the Real World. But feeling comfortable doesn't stop me from being careful, looking for blind spots related to male privilege, and making an effort to listen when my socialization encourages me to talk. My constructively critical friend might say that I'm too careful, and that may very well be so. Or perhaps I just haven't learned (yet) how to navigate without being overly careful. Or, perhaps, I'm comfy in my Feminist Armchair, and I'm using this stuff as an excuse. Likely it's a mix of all of this stuff.
Feminist Styles
Another facet of all of this is that I have learned to avoid (perhaps to a fault) styles of communication that have been taught to me as a man, based on traditional male gender roles, and I'm continually learning to change in that regard. My background is in academic philosophy, which is (still, I think) a bastion of the Logical Argument, of the debate, of forcefully convincing your audience, who are also to whatever degree your enemies because they don't yet agree with you. In my experience, the Logical Argument is most often an excuse to badger somebody who disagrees with you. In my experience, the way one argues, the style of arguing, is often taken as the force of the argument itself. Do you include personal experience? Then you're probably offering up invalid arguments. Do you acknowledge (and give voice to) alternatives to your point of view? Then you're not proving you're right. Do you put forth opinions as less-than-certain-but-still-important? Then you're just wrong, because Truth is Certainty. All of these points of view are put forth by supposedly objective people who think that perfect objectivity is doable, that anything less isn't at all convincing, and that men are better at this (In my experience, the Logical Argument part of traditional male masculinity, at least in the cultures I grew up in.)
I'm much more interested in discussions these days than I am in debates. The two often overlap in various ways, and it does come down to a matter of style, which will resist strict definitions. But for the most part, if somebody comes to the table with a point and some questions about it, I'm much more likely to want to interact with them than with somebody who comes to the table wanting to prove to me me that they have a point.
This tendency toward encouraging discussion rather than debate, which I'm nurturing in myself and which I see as partly arising from the futility of arguing in ways that men are socialized to argue, may, in fact be frustrating for a lot of other feminists. It may come off as if I'm not speaking with the courage of my feminist convictions, that I don't care enough to really stand up for my feminist beliefs. And implicit in my coming off that way is the judgment that I'm blind to my privilege, that I don't recognize that I can, as a feminist man, choose to speak with conviction or not--whereas feminist men don't have as much of a choice in the matter. (Of course, being able to choose to not debate, but rather to discuss, may be another reflection of being an Armchair Feminist--feminist men have the luxury of discussion, whereas feminist women feel a more pressing need to change the minds of others more forcefully.)
And I agree that this is a problem. But to me (so far), it's more of a problem that, unchecked, men tend to talk about everything (including feminism) as if it's some sort of pissing contest--and I'm willing to (for now) be seen as wishy-washy (a bit) in my feminist convictions in order to not buy into the pissing contest mentality. There are plenty of other feminists (of all genders) who are willing to put forth their ideas in a more straightforward way (*waves to Dave*!)--and indeed, female feminists can utilize the debate approach without some of the baggage that I think male feminists automatically bring to the table (i.e. traditional male masculinity). There is room within feminism(s) for all of us to change some minds, using various methods. (This too, of course, can be seen as a result of my male privilege--one might suggest that I can take the 'many methods' approach because I don't as readily see the dire need for change.)
Where I Make My Stands
There are places where I'm not as flexible regarding my convictions, where things play out more definitively. I vote for candidates, as often as I can, who vote along the lines of my feminist ideals. I call out sexism at work, and out on the street. I wear the label of feminist (although I don't make an issue of it if I'm in a space where such a label on a man isn't very welcome). I call out sexism in my personal life (and in myself). I interact with other men as a feminist. And it may be the case that, as I learn to better navigate feminist spaces, I begin to once again push my feminist ideals more forcefully, especially now that it's been pointed out to me that at least some other feminists think that I ought to.
More later.

Janet Porter (formerly Folger) is one of the nuttiest of the wingnuts, as she demonstrated on a radio show after Hurricane Sandy. Old and busted: FEMA concentration camps. New hotness: a FEMA army sent out to "crush dissent" with a billion bullets and 2500 vehicles armed with machine guns:
Is it a standing army to stifle dissent? That's what some think the real purpose is for the new group that the government calls FEMA Corps. In September, the Department of Homeland Security graduated its first class of 231 students, consisting of 18 to 24 year olds who were recruited from the President's AmeriCorps volunteers.
Some question whether they are really part of a new civilian security force that President Obama has called for in speeches. Reasons for the concern include FEMA's 2,500 new armored vehicles that come complete with slots for machine guns.I know it sound's unbelievable, but so does the fact that Homeland Security has purchased more than one billion bullets this year.
It's time to take a closer look into FEMA Corps!
Just more of the usual right wing paranoia. The fact that none of their terribly dystopia predictions ever actually happen seems to do nothing to dampen their enthusiasm for the next one.

Pandora Radio now offered by Dish Hopper Whole-House DVR
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment, Internet, Music
Having a DVR has been my favorite upgrade since getting a high definition TV with HD programing to pair. Though I didn't think the DVR could get any better, Dish Network decided to prove me wrong. As much as we love our DVR's here at Gear Live, we love our music just as much (just check us out on Rdio.) That being said, Dish has now introduced Pandora Radio as an added bonus to its DVRs. You'll now not only be able to watch any prerecorded show you saved to the DVR, but also enjoy your beats from any room in the house connected to the DVR. You can read the full press release below.
DISH Expands In-Home Music Experience With Pandora
ENGLEWOOD, CO, Apr 19, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX)—DISH DISH +2.24% , one of the nation's leading pay-TV providers, has introduced Pandora P +7.82% , the leading personalized radio service, for the DISH Hopper(TM) Whole-Home HD DVR system. Pandora on the Hopper allows customers to easily search for their favorite artists or songs and create personalized radio stations that play only the music they love from the comfort of their homes.
DISH customers with a Hopper can login to their existing Pandora account, or create a new Pandora account, to stream their personalized radio stations through their television. Streaming Pandora on the Hopper requires an Internet connection.
"Pandora adds new dimension to the Hopper experience," said Vivek Khemka, vice president of product management at DISH. "This partnership is another example of how we are working to make Hopper the entertainment platform of choice for America's homes."
"We're thrilled that DISH is making Pandora available to their customers on a great new platform like the Hopper," said Ian Geller, vice president of Business Development at Pandora. "More than a third of all radio listening takes place in the home and Pandora delivered through the Hopper allows everyone in the family to easily access and enjoy music they love through their personalized radio stations."
DISH's Hopper features three satellite TV tuners and a two-terabyte hard drive that stores up to 2,000 hours of video. Accompanied by small, sleek Joey(TM) units, the Hopper enables customers to pause live TV in one room and continue watching in another room. DISH launched Hopper in March and it is available to both new and existing DISH customers.
In addition to Pandora, DISH's Hopper features apps that give viewers real-time access to Facebook, Twitter and photo sharing, as well as games, news, weather, sports and stock quotes.
More information about DISH's Hopper is available at www.dish.com/hopper.

FOX's numbers for baseball at 10 p.m. were unavailable. Among the other networks, NBC's "ER" led the way with a 6.6./11. "Big Shots" was second in households for ABC at 6.0/10. CBS' "Viva Laughlin" (5.8/10) had a few more viewers than ABC, but the murder mystery-with-music lost more than half of its lead-in audience and also fell at the half-hour mark
VIVA LAUGHLIN PREVIEW (S) posed a 5.8/10 in households with 8.83million viewers, finishing +6% ahead of ABC's "Big Shots" in viewers (8.34m).
And with that it gives us more time to have the whole route figured with really, no clues just old fashioned detective work eta: The Unit is safe~http://www.celebrityspider.com/news/october07/article101907-12.html

I have the same comments as I did on Nov. 26th. You might ask why the same order 2 months later ... the case was not designed nor did I expect it to survive being thrown off the trunk of my car as I took a turn at 20 MPH. It did hold up well but I got a new phone so I figure I should have a new case.

Hans Droog lives in Trinidad, South Colorado, where he paints large, highly detailed works in oil of farm life, wildlife and farm animals.

The St. Louis Zoo has chosen Droog on four consecutive occasions to design the artwork for Zoofari, its major biannual fund raising and society event.

Script Control - What is it?
I think, that the best explanation of Microsoft Script control is an old tech-support joke.
I am sure, that you've already heard it more than once, but I can't think of a better explanation.
The joke is about "what would happen if car tech-support would look like computer tech-support".
Unsatisified customers calls Volvo tech support department:
Customer: "Hi, my car isn't working. I enter it, close the door and nothing happens."
Tech-Support Person: "Have you tried the ignition, sir?"
Customer: "Come on! I am not a technical person, I just wanna go places in my car!"
Microsoft Script Control is for programmers who can say "I am not a COM person, I just wanna have scripting in my program!". That's it. Microsoft Script control simplifies the use of Active Scripting Engines by eliminating the need in implementing relatively complex COM interfaces (IActiveScriptSite and IActiveScriptSiteWindow) and supplying easy object-oriented interface to most of Active Scripting functionality.
Script Control - How is it done?
If you want to work with Microsoft Script Control, you'd better understand it's internal functionality (at least on a high level). Microsoft Script Control has an implementation of IActiveScriptSite and IActiveScriptSiteWindow interfaces. It provides wrapping for some of the IActiveScript methods. It also bubbles some of the events recieved via IActiveScriptSite interface to a Script Control host using Error and Timeout events. Access to all Active Scripting features is very simplified. For example: to add a named object to a scripting environment you only need to call ScriptControl.AddObject instead of calling IActiveScript::AddItem and implementing quite a complicated IActiveScriptSite::GetItemInfo. When the Language property of Script Control is set, it calls CoCreateInstance with a matching engine CLSID and "forwards" all information supplied by user to a Scripting Engine.
Script Control - Who should use it?
a) In MSVC the difference in complexity between using the control and implementing IActiveScriptSite is much less significant than in 4GL.
b) If Active Scripting is an important part of your application, you might like to connect to Active Scripting language-neutral debugger in the future. I am not sure that this could be done easily with Microsoft Script Control.
c) Microsoft's approach is to implement more and more services as COM objects instead of plain API functions, so if you are a serious Windows developer, you MUST understand and know how to use COM.
Well, I hope, that this small article can help you make up your mind on using/not using Microsoft Script Control.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.- The Royals men's basketball started strong against Conference Carolinas opponent Coker College, but stalled in the second half allowing Coker to make a comeback and win, 70-61. The loss drops Queens to 11-13 overall and 8-9 in league play while Coker improves to 10-11 overall and 7-8 in conference action.
The Royals offense seemed like they couldn't miss in the first half. In the opening 10 minutes Queens was 8-11, missing two three-point attempts and one field goal. On two of the three missed baskets the Royals came up with the offensive rebounds.
Queens made their last basket from the floor during the half with 6:33 remaining when Reggie Hopkins (Gastonia, N.C.) hit a three-pointer, one of five for the night. The Royals led Coker 33-25 at the half.
Antonio Stabler (Garner, N.C.) started the second half with a quick field goal, but the bucket was just one of the seven Queens would hit in the second half. Queens' offense never got started in the second half while Coker found the basket on 15-27 shots (55.6%).
Queens was led by Hopkins with 19 points and Stabler added 15. Mason Ambler (Atlanta, Ga.) scored 19 and added 14 rebounds for Coker.
Coker will host Pfeiffer University in their final home game of the season on Wednesday, Feb. 24. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Cobras will honor their four seniors prior to the start of the game.

From the IRS
The Internal Revenue Service today issued an alert to payroll and human resources professionals to beware of an emerging phishing email scheme that purports to be from company executives and requests personal information on employees. The IRS has learned this scheme already has claimed several victims as payroll and human resources offices mistakenly email payroll data including Forms W-2 that contain Social Security numbers and other personally identifiable information to cybercriminals posing as company executives. If your CEO appears to be emailing you for a list of company employees, check it out before you respond. Everyone has a responsibility to remain diligent about confirming the identity of people requesting personal information about employees.

The consumer is instructed to call and verify their information in order to get a new card. The Better Business Bureau warns that if an automated system calls asking for credit card information it is probably a scam. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is offering tips on what consumers need to know to protect themselves. If you should receive one of these calls you should: Not return a call from a pre-recorded message. If speaking to a live "operator" ask for his/or her name, department and extension. Then hang up call the number on the back of your card and ask for that person. Never provide personal or financial information to someone you do not know. Feel free to just hang-up. Using the number on the back of your card or on your statement call the credit card company that issued your card if you have security questions or concerns.

IRS Warns About Continuing Scam Phone Calls
The IRS is continuing to warning to taxpayers not to be fooled by impostors posing as tax agency representatives. These callers may demand money or may say you have a refund due and try to trick you into sharing private information. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They may know a lot about you, and they usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. If you don't answer, they often leave an "urgent" callback request. If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, here's what you should do: If you know you owe taxes or think you might owe, call the IRS at 800-829-1040. The IRS workers can help you with a payment issue. If you know you don't owe taxes or have no reason to believe that you do, report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 800-366-4484 or at www.tigta.gov. If you've been targeted by this scam, also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their "FTC Complaint Assistant" at ftc.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint. Remember, too, the IRS does not use email, text messages or any social media to discuss your personal tax issue. For more information on reporting tax scams, go to www.irs.gov.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - With first place in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) on the line, the No. 8 ranked MIT men's basketball team outlasted visiting Springfield, 67-56, on Wednesday night at Rockwell Cage. Noel Hollingsworth led the way for the Engineers with 25 points and 10 rebounds as they improved to 16-1 overall and now stand alone atop the NEWMAC at 4-0. The loss was the first for the Pride in league play, as they dropped to 7-9 overall and 3-1in the conference.
With the score tied at 44 with just over 10 minutes to go, Billy Bender knocked down his second three-pointer of the night, giving the host Engineers a lead they would not relinquish. A few minutes later, the Cardinal and Gray began a 13-3 run, with seven points coming from the foul line, to put the game out of reach.
Trailing 37-33 after the intermission, Springfield scored five straight points early in the frame, completing a 14-4 stretch and coming all the way back to within one at the 17:12 mark. Pat Crean's steal and layup a few minutes later gave the visitors their first lead of the night at 42-41. Mitchell Kates tied things back up from the foul line on a minute later and the teams traded a pair of baskets on ensuing possessions, setting up Bender's three.
Tech got out to a quick 10-2 lead to begin the game, with Hollingsworth and Kates combining for eight of the 10. The teams traded buckets over the next six minutes with Hollingsworth putting the Engineers up 12 on a layup at the 10:53 mark. The Pride would respond with a 12-2 run of their own, capped by a Matt Cavalieri jumper with 5:13 to go in the first. Three quick trifectas from Jimmy Burke, however, and the MIT lead was back up to 11. From there, the Pride battled to within four over the final 2:52 of the stanza, eventually knotting the score midway through the second.
Eight of Hollingsworth's 25 came from the foul line, as he also contributed four assists and three blocks while playing nearly all 40 minutes. Three other Engineers finished in double figures, led by Will Tashman, who narrowly missed a double-double with 12 points and nine boards. Bender and Kates each finished with 10.
Crean was the high scorer for the Pride with 17 while Cavalieri contributed 14 along with a team-high seven caroms.
The game was a physical contest from the outset, as four players fouled out and the teams combined for 43 personals. Free throw shooting was a key to MIT's second-half effort, as the Cardinal and Gray went 14-20 over the final 20 minutes.
Both teams will be back in action on Saturday, January 23, hosting conference foes. MIT welcomes Wheaton College for a 1:00 p.m. start while Springfield will take on WPI also at 1:00 p.m.

Protecting International Revenues Domestically
In a time when the Postal Service has suffered declines in volume and revenue across many categories, it has turned to the international market. For example, it has seized opportunities, including with China, to increase its overall market share in package and express business. But the Postal Service has to maintain an "international" infrastructure in order to efficiently receive and dispatch this mail flow.

Last night i had a dream, after a have woke up , and I remembered this dream, was like a Deja vu. I had that same freaking dream three others times, all the times, the dream had a different end.
The beginning was always like that: It's like a movie, i just can watch, i didn't interact whit the dream. In a forest, there was this beautiful mansion of wood, with no backyard, or nothing like that, just the mansion itself, was a really vivid dream, I remembered a lot of details, but i thing that it's pointless to say. Ok, back to the mansion; a car arrive, with two brothers, they get out of the car, and start talking with each other, they wanna to demolish the mansion, ( I have no idea why ), they keep talking and laughing about the old owners, two brothers also, that die in the mansion. Then the scene change, and I can see they burning a old picture, with the photos of the old owners, then my vision start zooming on the face of one of the guys in the picture, then the scene change again.Now come the part where have three different ends.
1) I'm the ghost of one of the old owners, I walk to one of the two brothers, and I stab one of then till he dies.
2) Nothing Happen and the dream end.
3) This was the last of the three, I'm still a ghost of the old owner, then the scene change, I'm in a bedroom, there is the dog of the new owners, he is screwing the closet up, ( bad boy! ) then a old music start to play, I know that I am the one who put that music to play, to get the dog ( why a ghost need to play music, to get a dog? kkkk ) Anyway, I get the little one, I climb a three, and then I throw the dog on the ground, but he isn't dead, then the dream ends.
Now, what on earth can this dream represent? I really have tried for weeks, but nothing came to my head.
The Dream with many ends.

Re: The Dream with many ends.
I got no idea but that sure is interesting haha
Re: The Dream with many ends.
I suspect English isn't your first language. my rude comment aside, I think sone of those decisions were consciously made. I think the dream is telling you that you'll have different paths in life. One that ends with you doing nothing, one that you witness the evil deed, and one that you succeed in stopping the evil deed.
Sweet dreams,

Re: The Dream with many ends.
Yes,it doesn't, my first language is Portuguese. Well, if you can understand, so I'm happy. hehe. I know that isn't perfect, but the dream doesn't help at all. But still yet, I'm happy that some could understand. ^^
Re: The Dream with many ends.
I suspect that the mansion about to be destroyed symbolizes your past or something you value in it, also why you're a ghost. The two men burning the pictures and their dog also are symbols of this change...so as in Riddick vs the necromongers fight and defeat them or do nothing and convert.

Goodbye to Blogatelle (I wish I'd discovered it earlier now) – which is/ was a blog about roleplaying in WoW with advice and commentary.
And in the spirit of the out of the box thinking that I was talking about previously, here's what Sean has to say about unintended play and why some players feel threatened by it. Roleplaying in MMOs lives in a kind of halfway house. It isn't specifically intended by devs but I do think they design worlds with roleplaying opportunities in mind.

Ok, I was looking at buying a kiteboard setup but was un sure about it. I don't have a ton of money to spend on one but if I did I'd like to buy new. Well I was going to buy one and saw that the company real watersports rents them for 24hours at $150 so I decided to try that first on July 4th weekend.
Call me stubborn or stupid but I want to try to teach my self. I've watched a ton of instructional videos including reals and think I have an understanding of what to do. I am a very very quick learnt when it comes to these sort of things and I take my time.
With that said if anyone here has anything info for me other than take lessons, please post it. Any tips or tricks that can help a newbie learn as quick as possible. I have thought about buying a trainer kite before I go there just to see how the kite feels in the wind. Mi figure I can always sell it when I'm done with it or allow friends to use it if they want to learn.
Also mods if this is the wrong section can you please move it. Sorry.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out PUG (Pick Up Games) Sports Zone. The group has been in existence for about five years and has grown very quickly in that time. While we play various sports, there is one common theme in every game we host; there are no set teams from week to week so a member who you were playing against one week could be your teammate the next. This helps foster an environment where we welcome anyone 18 or older who wants to play, whether experienced or just starting out, an environment where effort is valued over talent; all that we ask is that you give 100%. We're looking for people who like to compete but do not go overboard about it. Anyone who harps on other players inadequacies or has a negative attitude if the game doesn't go their way or is just a big jerk should pass us by because we will ask them to leave. Due to the cost of renting facilities and buying, maintaining equipment and insurance, we do charge for the events we post; $8.00-$9:00 for Indoor and Outdoor Soccer, $5.50-$6.50 for Volleyball and Basketball and $4.00 for Dodgeball.
If you're interested in joining our group, please review our message board which explains exactly how our group works:
The schools we play at do not allow cash to exchange hands at the gyms or fields we rent so we have a online payment policy.
Since people may be a little apprehensive about spending money to play with a group of people they haven't met yet, a new member's first game is free (the one exception being Broomball); just contact Organizers Richard or Scott after you've joined the group and let them know which game you wish to try and they will put you on the RSVP list IF the game is not full.
Please be aware that e-mail communication is very important in our group, therefore, if you block e-mail access, you will be removed from the group.
We hope to see you out on the court or pitch with us soon and please don't be hesitant to contact Richard or Scott with any questions you may have.

Shabbat candlesticks
Candles play a pivotal role in Judaism. We use candles to bring in the major holidays; the entire eight days of Hanukkah involve lighting the Menorah candles, which explains why the holiday is also known as the Festival of Lights; finally, and most commonly, we use candles on Shabbat, both at the beginning, on Friday night, and at its departure, on Saturday night. We also light candles on Jewish holiday. Due to the candles' essential role, it is customary to invest in beautiful Shabbat candlesticks in order to maximally venerate the Shabbat Queen. It is a Mitzvah to beautify the Shabbat with lovely candlesticks and other synagogue items such as Tallitot adorned with a stunning Atara.
Although the inherent religious value lies within the candles and not the candlesticks, the latter allow for much artistic freedom and personal preference. The candles are lit by the woman of the household, and she is commanded to light only two, one to "remember" and the other to "keep" the Shabbat. One of the advantages of buying Shabbat candlesticks is that they can be found in abundance everywhere, not solely in Judaica stores. Candlesticks are a great gift for a Bat Mitzvah.
Sterling silver Shabbat candlesticks are always a popular choice. People seem to be extremely fond of sterling silver Judaica for different reasons. For example, perhaps since silver has been in use for such a long time, it feels almost nostalgic, as people may have seen it at their own grandparents' when they were younger.
Another, sometimes less expensive, option that lately inundates the Judaica market are the wooden candlesticks. These come in an assortment of colours and shapes, and they are known for the colourful design. The lacquered candlesticks are often based on a certain motif, such as the seven species, floral, and more. These are great as an addition to an already-colorful havdalah set.
For the mystically-inclined, there are candlesticks that evoke spiritual figures in the Torah or bear esoteric inscriptions. For example, some stunning Shabbat candlesticks are shaped like Cherubs, a type winged angles. Cherub-shaped Shabbat candlesticks will have two cherubs vis-a-vis, and since the Cherubs used to manifest in different forms, the artists have a lot of freedom to be creative when shaping the angelic figures. Some of those candlesticks will also have Hebrew letters and inscriptions etched on them. Although at times the end products' details are not entirely in line with the Biblical source, they nonetheless make for beautiful pieces of art.
Since there is such a wide selection of candle holders from which to choose, experience has taught us that buyers will often not end up with the items they initially wanted, but with something they fell in love with as they shopped around. We recommend, then, to be open-minded when shopping for candlesticks. Additionally, if buying candlesticks for a Havdalah Set, we advise you to think about the set as a whole, and which candlesticks will be the best fit for it. Be sure to contact us with any questions regarding candlesticks.
Candlesticks Guide
One of the most common ways to know when Shabbat or a Jewish holidays starts is to look for candlesticks that have been lit around sunset. The lighting of Shabbat candles is an ancient custom that still continues to this day, via the lighting of candlesticks.
Shabbat Candlesticks are usually made of metals such as pewter, nickel and silver. However, they also are made from stained glass, crystal, lacquered wood and ceramic. Sterling silver is the most valuable material used in candlesticks - gold is almost never used because of its fragile nature as well as the fact that gold is easily damaged.
Candlesticks can be decorated with a wide range of decorations, from depictions of Jerusalem to being molded into the shape of a Star of David, Hamsa or Shofar. Silver, nickel and pewter candlesticks often feature diamond and floral patterns as well as traditional moulding along its bottom edges and legs.
Lacquered wood candlesticks are usually decorated with paintings and features a wide range of decorations, such as Jerusalem, flowers, seven species and animals such as birds. Other materials such as ceramic features Armenian stytle flowers and come with a tray that has word "Shabbat" in the middle in Hebrew and English.
Glass candlesticks can be stained, frosted and shaped as well as moulded like metal candlesticks. Glass candlesticks come in a wide range of shapes, although they are usually moulded into traditional shapes such as Hamsas. These candlesticks also frequently sport traditional Hebrew texts including the text of the candlestick blessings and the Eshet Chayil section of the Book of Proverbs sung on Friday night.
Use of Candlesticks
The tradition of women lighting candles at the beginning of Shabbat and Jewish Holidays comes from the commandment to enjoy Shabbat and holidays. Jewish Legal authorities recognized that it is difficult to enjoy such day when one cannot see, so they established a custom to light candles so that the holidays as well as Shabbat will be more enjoyable. Over time, the custom became an established rule and eventually a Mitzvah that is almost exclusive to women.
The accepted tradition in regards to lighting candles is that an unmarried girl or woman lights two candles, each of which represent the positive and negative commandments on Shabbat. Married women usually light the number of candles equal to the members of their family. After lighting the candles, the girl or woman makes a blessing over the candles that is followed by a short prayer.
Shabbat candlesticks also come in a wide range of sizes, ranging from small sized travel candlesticks that measure approximately 5 centimeters to full-sized candelabras that are between 20 and 40 centimeters in height.

For more information on Candlesticks, Shabbat, or Judaica feel free to contact our Judaica experts with any questions or concerns.
