POTSDAM — The Chateaugay girls' soccer team had its way against Parishville-Hopkinton during the Northern Athletic Conference regular season.
That didn't change in the playoffs Thursday night.
The undefeated Bulldogs, recording their third shutout in a row in postseason play, defended their Section X Class D championship with a 3-0 victory at Potsdam High School.
Chateaugay, which had earlier recorded 7-1 and 4-2 victories over the Panthers, will be back in Potsdam Saturday when it opposes Section VII champion Elizabethtown-Lewis in the NYSPHSAA quarterfinals.
"We're very happy," Chateaugay coach Steve Lang said. "Parishville-Hopkinton has a high-powered offense that had scored 66 goals coming into the game. So, absolutely, it's nice to get the win and the shutout.
"Coming into the game, they had only been shut out once this season."
Hannah Cook led the way offensively for the Bulldogs (19-0) with two goals.
The first came unassisted at 10:17 of the first half and put Chateaugay ahead to stay.
"She beat a couple of defenders near midfield and than beat the sweeper," Lang said. "So she ended up beating three defenders in all."
Alexis Beach then gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 first-half lead at 14:04 when she scored off a Stephanie Whyte assist.
"Whyte had the ball outside on the right side, and she crossed it to Beach," Lang said. "Beach then beat the sweeper and scored."
Chateaugay added its third and final goal with 14:04 gone in the second half. Cook added her second goal of the game, with Danielle Charland assisting.
"It was off a big scramble in front," Lang said. "The ball was bouncing around all over and deflected to Charland, who then redirected it to Cook."
The Bulldogs finished with a 14-8 advantage in shots. Makayla Fleury recorded the shutout with seven saves, and Marlee Wilson stopped eight shots for the Panthers.

Hi There,
I'm using mapimport to bring in xyz points and they have come in ok, except that they are flipped horizontally.
(they come in as a block)
Any ideas on how to flip them back?
Perhaps there is a command that rotates objects all at one time *not* based on one central point..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
does flipped mean 180 degrees on y axis? as in your x values are negative instead of positive or vice versa?
then I guess that your columns for X and Y have to be changed.
- alfred -
You might just need to change the sign on the X values. If you are in the western hemisphere, sometimes a GPS will record the X value as positve, and indicate otherwise that is it W, but a LL or similar CS in Map will expect -42 for example, not 42 and a W in a separate column.

Telephone Talk
Talking on the phone in Guatemala is always an awkward exchange. You can be confident that the person on the other line will answer the phone by saying "aló" which sounds like "hello" with a spanish accent. I have two theories on the word "aló." Since the word means hello but is exclusively used when answering the phone I'm convinced that either A.) Spanish speakers made-up the word after the invention of the telephone for the sole purpose of answering calls like the American inventors demons...

For the past two weeks I had successfully ignored the increase in empty hangers in my "closet" but, when my laundry basket began to overflow last night, I decided today i'd roll up my sleeves and get it over with.

One great thing about the Peace Corps is the opportunity it affords to meet amazing people, both host country nationals and other Peace Corps volunteers.

- About Ateneum
In many of Charles Lacoste's (1870–1959) paintings the landscape or urban view is masked in a fine mist. By simplifying the forms he produced dreamlike images in the Symbolist spirit out of a modern townscape, sometimes also creating a sense of unease in the viewer, as in his best-known work The Shadow Hand.
Lacoste was the son of an accountant from Bordeaux and a Creole mother. He was largely self-taught and moved in the same artistic circles as the composer Henri Duparc and the writer André Gide. His works reflect a melancholy vision of nature, inspired initially by frequent trips to London in the fog. He transformed reality through a process of simplification, creating dreamlike, often disturbing images of the modern city.
In 1901 Lacoste moved permanently to Paris, where he lived until 1914, exhibiting his work at the Salon des Indépendants. He was a founder member of the Salon d'Automne and he also exhibited with the avant-garde group La Libre Esthétique in Brussels in 1907 and at the Salon de la Toison d'Or, Moscow in 1908. He later moved to Monein and finally Pardies in southwest France, where he is buried.

Hundreds gathered Sunday in Evansdale to celebrate the Karen New Year.
This year, it's the year 2753 on the Karen calendar. The calendar began in 739 BC, when the Karen people believed their ancestors arrived to the land which is now called Myanmar in Southeast Asia.
Dphoe Ei moved to Waterloo three and a half years ago from Chicago, but before then, he was a refugee in Thailand.
He says he moved here for a job opportunity.
"Because of the job offer from Tyson's, it's really good and beneficial and I appreciate the help. Also with the local people they're willing to see the different people accepting the new refugees," said Ei.
Ei isn't the only refugee in Waterloo. Hundreds of people gathered to celebrate the Karen New Year on Sunday, proving just how big the Burmese culture is in the area.
Most of these people have come to Iowa for better job opportunities and to escape violence in their home country.
"If people don't share the same religions or political views then those people are just simply eliminated off the streets. They line people up and shoot people if they are not from the right culture at that time," said Angie Graham, friend of the Burmese community.
Graham says Burma, now known as Myanmar, is very dangerous. She says in Waterloo, these people get an opportunity to have a better life.
"They now can dare to dream. To think about having employment because for many years, there was not employment for them or they worked in sweat shops. So they are really excited to have those opportunities to work and start families," said Graham.
It's estimated about 1200 Burmese live in the Cedar Valley.

The wind has always dictated Vianne Rocher's every move, buffeting her from the French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes to the crowded streets of Paris. Cloaked in a new identity, that of widow Yanne Charbonneau, she opens a chocolaterie on a small Montmartre street, determined to still the wind at last and keep her daughters, Anouk and baby Rosette, safe. But the weather vane soon turns, and Zozie de l'Alba blows into their lives. Charming and enigmatic, Zozie provides the brightness that Yanne's life needs—as her vivacity and bold lollipop shoes dazzle rebellious and impressionable preadolescent Anouk. But beneath their new friend's benevolent façade lies a ruthless treachery—for devious, seductive Zozie has plans that will shake their world to pieces.
About the Author
Joanne Harris is the author of seven previous novels—Chocolat, Blackberry Wine, Five Quarters of the Orange, Coastliners, Holy Fools, Sleep, Pale Sister, and Gentlemen & Players; a short story collection, Jigs & Reels; and two cookbook/memoirs, My French Kitchen and The French Market. Half French and half British, she lives in England.

"Harris once again delivers a delicious urban fairy tale, where killer shoes and Aztec myths battle it out with true love and the seductive power of chocolate."

"A contemporary, razor-edged fairy tale--very dark chocolate but likely to be gobbled up."
-Kirkus Reviews on GIRL WITH NO SHADOW
"Engaging...colorful...Readers will savor every bite of Harris' sensuous tale about the dark arts, dark chocolate, and lives both bitter and sweet."
-Booklist, on THE GIRL WITH NO SHADOW
"Readers will drink up this pleasurable tale of love. Highly recommended."
-Library Journal, Starred Review, on THE GIRL WITH NO SHADOW
"Harris gives fans much to savor in this multilayered novel, from the descriptions (including Yanne's mouthwatering chocolate confections, Zozie's whimsical footwear and Anouk's artistic efforts) to the novel's classic, enduring theme of good vs. evil-and the difficulty of telling the difference."
-Publishers Weekly on GIRL WITH NO SHADOW
"[A] seductive sequel."
-Good Housekeeping on GIRL WITH NO SHADOW
"[A] provocative sequel to Chocolat, all the sensuous delights from the chocolaterie and the magic of signs, spells and cantrips are revisited…We are held bewitched on a thrilling ride."

"Magic and fantasy are at the heart of this fascinating fairy tale for adults."
-Deseret News on GIRL WITH NO SHADOW
"[A] sweetly enthralling sequel to her 1999 hit, Chocolat...Harris serves up a darkly delightful novel that could as easily be sold in a confectionery as a bookstore."
-USA Today on GIRL WITH NO SHADOW
"A rich, dark confection."
-Christian Science Monitor on GIRL WITH NO SHADOW
"[B]eguilingly tasty.

It seems that over the past few years (or at least, since Kaz Matsui originally left for Houston), second base has been the one position on the field that has led to a lot of indecision from the Rockies brass. First there was Jayson Nix, who was ineffective for a month in 2008 before losing the job to the likes of Clint Barmes and Omar Quintanilla. Then there was Barmes who, after doing a solid job in '08, hacked his way through two below-average seasons before also heading to Houston (via trade). Now, the Rockies are trying to decide between some kind of combination of Jonathan Herrera, Jose Lopez, and Eric Young Jr. What some of the team's younger fans may not realize is that the club's waffling over the second base job is nothing new. So, in honor of the intense battle to be Troy Tulowitzki's double play-turning counterpart going on currently, I decided to do a piece on one of the guys that was a part of some of the early battles for the same position (although at the time, it was to be Walt Weiss' counterpart).
Jason Bates began his professional baseball journey in 1992, when he was drafted in the 7th round (270th overall) out of the University of Arizona by the expansion Colorado Rockies. Bates was seen by the organization as a scrappy player with a good glove and solid enough contact skills to have a shot at the big leagues. So scrappy, in fact, that he was given the nickname "Pete Rose, the Sequel" by teammate Marvin Freeman prior to the 1995 season. He was part of the Rockies' first (and only, at the time) minor league team outside of extended spring training, a rookie league team located in Bend, OR, during the summer of 1992. During that season, Bates would post an OPS of .838 and walked more than he struck out, which caught the eye of the Rockies' brass as he would be invited to the major league camp for spring training the next year. Playing in place of big league incumbents such as Charlie Hayes and Nelson Liriano, Bates went on to hit .305 during the spring and although he didn't make the big club, he was promoted all the way up to AAA.
In his first month at Colorado Springs, Jason would build off of the momentum he picked up during spring training, as he had an OBP of .426 in April. Things fell off a little bit from there, but overall Bates held his own, finishing the 1993 season with .267/.345./.410 line in his first season above rookie ball. The Rockies would assign Bates to AAA again in 1994, and he responded by reducing his number of strikeouts from 99 to 57, and increasing his walks from 45 to 60 all while posting an improved .286/.370/.415 line at the plate. However, for the second straight season, Bates would make an alarming number of errors at shortstop (28, down from 29 in '93), which led the Rockies to experiment with him at other positions as they sent him to the Arizona Fall League to try him out at second and third.
Heading into spring training in 1995, Don Baylor wanted to keep Eric Young in the outfield despite having Larry Walker, Dante Bichette, and Ellis Burks on the team, so Bates and Roberto Mejia battled for the starting second base job that was opened up following the departure of the aforementioned Liriano. Mejia ended up being awarded with the job after a strong spring training, with Bates earning a spot on the roster as a utility infielder. However, after Mejia proved to be absolutely dreadful for the first few weeks of the season, Bates took over starting duties on May 5th. Bates made Baylor look like a genius, as he posted a .311/.398/.478 line during his first month in the lineup. He played with a tremendous amount of hustle and grit, which was no more evident than during a game in June against the Cubs, in which he slid hard into second base and drew a punch from Chicago shortstop Shawon Dunston, resulting in a bench-clearing fracas. However, as the season wore on, the switch-hitting infielder made himself vulnerable to a platoon split, as his 58 sOPS+ from the right side didn't come close to the 112 sOPS+ he posted as a lefty. Aside from that, his performance away from Coors Field was miserable (72 sOPS+), whereas the guy he would end up platooning with was very good on the road (117 sOPS+). That guy was Eric Young, and his second half for the ages (149 sOPS+) effectively pushed Bates out of the starting role for the remainder of the season. Bates would remain a capable bench/backup guy, and still played an important part for a team that would eventually make the playoffs. He would appear in all four games in the NLDS against Atlanta, collecting one hit in five plate appearances. All in all, he was very productive for a rookie, finishing the season with a .267/.355/.419 line and an all-but-guaranteed spot on the big league roster heading into 1996.
Don Baylor and the Rockies had a good problem on their hands heading into 1996, as they had two versatile and seemingly viable players competing for the starting second base job during spring training. Eric Young, who had for years dealt with issues in the field, was coming off a good season in which he exploded in the second half. On the other hand, they had Jason Bates, who was perceived to be a bit less of a liability in the field and was a few years younger than EY, and wasn't too bad in '95 himself - and that was only his rookie season. Baylor's decision was made easier when Young suffered an injury during the spring and would be placed on the 15-day disable list to start the season, so Jason Bates was penciled into the starting lineup. He would not start out as hot as he did the year before, posting a .668 OPS through the first month of the season. He would be replaced by a healthy Young on April 22nd, and started only sparingly from that point forward, as Young again caught fire (and earned himself a spot on the NL All-Star team) while Bates floundered at the plate - especially on the road (12 sOPS+) - and would finish the season with an OPS of just .599.
1997 would prove to be another challenging year for Bates, despite the fact that the Rockies seemingly showed enough confidence in his ability that they traded Young to the Dodgers for Pedro Astacio at the deadline. Bates struggled out of the gates for the second straight season, as he was hitting just .238 when he was demoted to Colorado Springs on June 18th. He wasn't much better in 35 games in AAA, but Bates was recalled to the big club after the EY trade. He started a few games before being replaced by rookie Neifi Perez, who heavily outperformed Bates while playing out-of-position.
After Walt Weiss' departure, the Rockies moved Neifi Perez back to shortstop and acquired Mike Lansing to play second base prior to the 1998 season. The move relegated Bates to bench duty - a role which he would hold throughout a season in which he bounced back and forth from Colorado Springs to Denver. In late-April, Bates suffered a nagging foot injury that hindered his performance (although he hit well in the minors, posting an .850 OPS in 49 games). After earning a September callup and playing out the remainder of the season at the big league level, Bates underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his foot and developed complications, including a severe infection, that would sideline him for the entire 1999 season (Bates was actually released from the Rockies in November of 1998, and received an invite to spring training from the Tigers but was unable to play). He would attempt a comeback in 2000 with the Angels, but didn't make the team out of spring training and opted to sign a minor league contract with the Orioles. After lasting just 15 games with AAA Rochester, Bates decided to call it quits, as he was unable to regain his form following the foot injury.
Bates worked as a minor league hitting coach in the Brewers and Diamondbacks organizations for a few seasons, and now is an instructor at Hit Streak, a baseball training facility in Centennial, CO. He finished his big league career as a negative-WAR player (-2.3 cumulative), but will always be remembered as an instrumental piece of the Rockies first playoff team.

February 13, 2001, 4:35 PM — If there's one factor that threatens to hamper the cost-cutting technology initiatives of old industry manufacturers, it's managing an extensive supply chain that includes thousands of companies.
That's why Johnson Controls Inc., a manufacturer of car parts and environmental systems, is launching a design and collaboration business-to-business exchange for its automotive suppliers, said Mike Suman, group vice president for e-business and marketing at Johnson Controls.
Johnson Controls said it wants to replace homegrown product development software with an online exchange that will address both the bidding process with suppliers and the management of the design collaboration aspects of developing a product. E-commerce software from MatrixOne Inc. in Chelmsford, Mass., will form the bulk of the technology infrastructure.
"We're looking at replacing a legacy system that doesn't add value," said Suman. "But you can't take a new piece of software, tack it onto an old business model and produce the results that you want." Suman added that Johnson Controls will also update its financial system and reduce paper-based transactions with suppliers.
Beefy Competition
But the new exchange, scheduled to go online in March, also puts the manufacturer in competition with the Big Three automakers, which are three of its biggest customers. They already have a massive $200 million auto industry exchange in Southfield, Mich.-based Covisint LLC.
Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls last year generated $6.8 billion in revenue, or 40% of its total, from contracts to build car interiors, seats and batteries for DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp.
Johnson Controls will use Covisint for its interactions with the Big Three but didn't want to wait for Covisint to gain industry momentum and start courting smaller suppliers to its marketplace, Suman said.
"The Tier 1 suppliers don't want to wait to see if Covisint will work out as the sole marketplace for the industry," said Thilo Koslowski, an analyst at Gartner Group Inc. in Stamford, Conn. "The automakers only want to deal with the big suppliers, but in order to get to efficiencies, you have to work with more than that."
Driveshaft and piston-ring maker Dana Corp. is also building a private exchange to work with its 86,000 suppliers. The Toledo, Ohio-based manufacturer, which drummed up 33% of its revenue -- $3 billion -- from sales to Ford and DaimlerChrysler, will also work with the Covisint exchange.
Versatility Advantage
Another reason for building its own exchange: Johnson Controls draws 60% of its revenue -- $10.2 billion -- working with customers in the construction, energy and aerospace industries. Building a private exchange may assist the company with those suppliers as well, said Kevin Prouty, an analyst at AMR Research Inc. in Boston.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
A beautiful finger/off fingers crack followed by a less beautiful, but still fun crack system. Start on the ledge below the obvious splitter. Reach up and place a piece to protect yourself and your belayer before starting. The crux comes in the middle part of the finger crack between the small pods and it protects very well.
To find this route, hike the Upper Wall trail and follow the directions for the Zipper/Cheeks by turning right about 30 feet from the base of the Upper Wall and crossing the creek/boulders, picking up the trail on the other side. In a very short distance, this trail descends steeply and you will notice a small cliff (Coffee Achievers Cliff) ahead on the left side of the trail. Before getting to that cliff, look for a tree with 3 distinct trunks on the right side of the trail (there may or may not be a cairn there) and head downhill and right from that tree to the base of the route.
The finger crack on the first half of the route eats up fingers to off fingers sized cams. You can also place hand sized pieces in the pods. The second half of the route will take a variety of different gear, generally up to 3".

All the ingredients of human bondage and denigration which characterize Anglo treatment of minority peoples in the United States are also present in Oakland, California. A study of Oakland's socio-economic situation demonstrates, as the Kerner Report and many other similar queries have done throughout the country, that the poor are cut off dramatically from the middle and upper classes.

Klitschko Dominates Adamek, McCloskey Decisions Prescott; The Saturday Euro Report
Paul Magno | Sep 10, 2011 | Comments 0
Stadion Miejski, Wroclaw, Poland– Pure domination would be the word to describe Vitali Klitschko's (43-2, 40 KOs) seventh straight WBC heavyweight title defense against Poland's Tomasz Adamek (44-2, 28 KOs).
From the opening bell to the ref's merciful decision to stop the contest in the 10th, nothing varied from the typical Vitali Klitschko script. The defending champ boxed from the outside, picked his punches well, and gradually broke down the body and resolve of his opponent.
By the time of the stoppage, Adamek had lost every round and was just gamely coming forward, eating punches.
Also on the card, cruiserweight, Ola Afolabi (18-2-3, 8 KOs) won an eight-round unanimous decision over Lukasz Rusiewicz (9-11, 2 KOs)
Welterweight, Sadam Ali (14-0, 8 KOs) stopped Boris Berg (4-5-1, 3 KOs) in the fifth round of their scheduled six.
Johnathon Banks (27-1-1, 18 KOs) scored a TKO 7 over Ivica Bacurin (8-2-1, 2 KOs) in an eight round heavyweight bout.
Odyssey Arena, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom– In a WBA junior welterweight eliminator bout, Ireland's Paul McCloskey (23-1, 12 KOs) took a close, but disputed unanimous decision victory over Colombia's Breidis Prescott (24-3, 19 KOs) by scores of 114-113, 115-113, and 114-113.
Prescott took an early lead in the bout, beginning with a questionable knockdown scored in the first that was more inside forearm hook than actual punch. The Colombian fought intelligently for the first six rounds, landing some big shots while boxing solidly from the outside, keeping his opponent at the end of his long punches.
McCloskey started putting on the pressure in the seventh, working his way into the right range and nearly sweeping the second half of the fight and earning a second shot shot at Amir Khan's world title after a technical decision loss to Khan in April.
Despite the unanimous decision from the judges, The Boxing Tribune scored the bout 115-112 in favor of Prescott.

Never mind that there was no baseball. That day the National League expansion
committee and then-NL President Bill White arrived in Denver for a big expansion tour.
Some of the top executives in Major League Baseball were greeted at Stapleton Airport by a sign,
"Welcome to the Time Zone Without a Team" and whisked by helicopter to old Mile High Stadium.
From there, the show was supposed to be over. The group headed downtown to the United Bank
Building, now known as the Wells Fargo Building, with the business of meeting with prospective
owners followed by a small press gathering.
"They had said no public demonstrations when we come to visit your city," said Parker, now the
Rockies official historian and Boulder Dugout Store manager, but at the time a volunteer in the
baseball effort. "So we cleverly went out and had about 3,000 people waiting for them when they
came down to the lobby.
"They were chanting, 'Baseball, baseball.' (The committee members) were walked right through the
crowd and got up on the stage for some short, perfunctory speeches. Then there was a presentation
with an oversize check that had 'over 20,000 season ticket pledges' on it."
Before the Colorado Rockies arrived -- they played their first game 10 years ago on April 9, 1993 --
there were fans. Although the expansion committee had asked to keep its visit low-key, members
couldn't help but be impressed by the fans.
Ultimately, Denver earned the franchise based on the fact its people couldn't wait to demonstrate
how badly it wanted big-league ball.
The Majors were well aware of the Denver market, which at the time drew large crowds for Broncos
games and had a strong fan base for Nuggets basketball. On several occasions, Denver was brought
up by teams that were either for sale or unhappy with their stadium situations. The size of the
market and the success of minor league ball made the area attractive.
But beneath the numbers regarding market size and the lack of a team in the time zone was the
sheer desire on the part of fans to support a team. Before the expansion drive even began,
prospective Denver owners and team employees set up booths at fairs and other events and found
strong interest.
How strong?
In December 1990, the NL announced that Denver, South Florida (which would land the Florida
Marlins), Tampa-St. Pete, Orlando, Washington, D.C., and Buffalo were finalists for expansion
teams. Denver-area voters had already passed a 0.1 percent sales tax to finance construction of a new
In the first months of 1991, Denver made an even louder statement.
"Our goal was 20,000 (season ticket commitments), and it took us four weeks to accomplish it and
go beyond," said Chuck Javernick, who worked in ticket sales for the fledgling franchise, stayed on
board and is now the director of ticketing services and Spring Training business operations. "We
went over 21,000 season ticket commitments.
"I'm a big baseball fan and a native of Colorado, so I believed in it. And I had worked with the
Colorado Baseball Partnership for some time prior and talked to a lot of people who felt the same
The fans were in place and the name of the franchise was chosen -- the Colorado Rockies. But
ownership suddenly fell into question.
The out-of-state leaders of the original group became mired in a $350 million fraud scandal -- which
had nothing to do with the franchise -- before the team even hit the field. Two months before paying
the $95 million franchise fee, the local members of the group -- led by Jerry McMorris, the
highest-ranking franchise official before he recently turned the reins over to partner Charlie Monfort
-- saved the team.
McMorris said then-Colorado Gov. Roy Romer played a huge role in keeping together viable
baseball ownership in Denver.
"Gov. Romer had several meetings with the partners and really got behind the project," McMorris
said. "There was one meeting early on when he went around the room -- 'Who are you and how
much money do you have?' He did what was necessary."
McMorris started out just wanting to assist Denver's efforts for a team, not knowing he would go on
to become one of baseball's most influential club leaders, one who was called upon by fellow owners
and Commissioner Bud Selig for high-profile projects. McMorris said he was especially proud to
help in last year's labor negotiations that resulted in a new Collective Bargaining Agreement without
a work stoppage.
Any question as to whether Denver's effort at landing Major League Baseball was worthwhile was
answered shortly after the gates opened for that first game at Mile High Stadium, an 11-4 victory
over the Montreal Expos. A regular-season record 80,277 watched the game.
"I didn't see any of the ballgame," said Javernick, who was kept quite busy in the ticket operation.
"There were more people in the stadium than in the county where I grew up."
Parker now laughs at the memory of the little-taste-of-Denver crowd the expansion committee
received during its visit.
"They gave me a Pittsburgh Pirates jersey to put on. I was handing out free Cracker Jack," Parker
said. "My eyes met Bill White's eyes, and he was smiling and shaking his head. If looks could talk, it
would have been, 'We thought we told you not to do this, but this is amazing.'"

Speed - The Map
The MBTA Bus Speeds map is a cool visualization of near real-time bus speeds in Boston. The map uses data from GPS positions to visualize the last three hours of traffic on the Boston bus network. There is also an option to view the map of the last 24 hours of bus traffic.
The speeds displayed on the map are calculated based on straight-line distances between the recorded GPS locations and not on the actual distance traveled by the buses. Therefore the speeds are probably under-estimations because the buses tend not to travel in straight lines but follow the Boston road network.

Two people were killed when a car ran off a Marietta road and flipped into a pond Thursday morning, according to Greenville County Deputy Coroner Kent Dill.
Laura Campbell, spokeswoman for the sheriff's office, said Slater-Marietta firefighters called deputies when they found the car at 711 Hart Cut Rd. She said divers from the sheriff's office were sent to the scene to help investigate.
Dill said 28-year-old Carl Robertson, of Marietta, and 28-year-old Derrick Camp, of Travelers Rest, were killed in the crash. He said the vehicle, which was being driven by Robertson, ran off a curve in the road and into the pond, where it flipped.
Autopsies were scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
The Highway Patrol was investigating the cause of the crash.

Estonians Seek Better Showing
GSTAAD, SWITZERLAND, June 17, 2004 - After placing 19th in last week's European Championships where they were matched against three of the top-ranked teams from host Germany in pool play, Estonia's Kristjan Kais and Rivo Vesik are looking for a "much better" effort here this week in the 1to1 Energy Open.
Seeded third in the two-day, 49-team Qualification Tournament, Kais and Vesik were one of eight Beach Volleyball tandems earning spots to the Main Draw here Thursday. The Estonians advanced by eliminating 20th-seeded Javier Luna and Raul Mesa of Spain 22-20 and 21-15.
Other teams qualifying for the Main Draw were Stephane Canet/Mathieu Hamel of France (No.-2-seeded team in the qualifier), Satoshi Watanabe/Katsuhiro Shiratori of Japan (5), Fabio Magalhães/Paulo Emilio Silva of Brazil (7), Canyon Ceman/Matt Fuerbringer of the United States (8), Florian Gosch/Bernhard Strauss of Austria (21), Mikhail Kouchnerev/Sergey Sayfulin of Russia (23) and Jochem DeGruijter/Gijs Ronnes of the Netherlands (27).
With the injury withdrawal of Sweden's Borg Berg and Simon Dahl from the Main Draw, the Canadian team of Jody Holden and Conrad Leinemann are expected to fill the spot as the "lucky loser" since they were the highest-seeded team losing Thursday.
"What a relief to be out of the qualifier and into the Main Draw," said Kais after his team's 39-minute match with the Spaniards. "We were really disappointed with our play last week. Obviously, we drew the toughest pool in the tournament. We just did not perform."
Kais was pleased with his team's play Thursday, especially since they did not face any team with Germany on their uniforms. "We learned a lot about ourselves last week," said Kais, "We must take advantage of advancing to the money rounds and earn some valuable Olympic qualifying points."
The Estonians have posted 794 Olympic qualifying points and trail Peter Gartmayer and Robert Nowotny of Austria by 80 points on the provisional listing for the 22nd and final spot in the men's Beach Volleyball competition at Athens Games. Host Greece and a team from the continent of Africa will fill the last two berths in the 24-team Olympic competition.
To improve their point total this week, Kais and Vesik must win at least one match Friday. The Austrians must also finish 17th or higher in the 1to1 Energy Open to improve their score as a team's point total is comprised of a tandem's best eight finishes on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour since January 2003.
The men's Main Draw starts Friday and concludes Sunday when the final two teams compete for the $27,000 first-place prize. The 1to1 Energy Open is the first of four-straight events in Europe before the July 11 Olympic-qualifying deadline. The process continues next week in Germany.

We have spend a very pleasant and restful stay in Sophie's home.
Both inside and outside are decorated with an excellent taste.
We took advantage every day of the swimming pool and the barbecue!
The house is a quiet place and very well located: near a supermarket, a golf, the city center.
San Jose is a very peacefull town and the house is an excellent point to visit around towns (Todos Santos for instance) and beaches (we recommend you Santa Maria one)!

Paradise in San Jose Del Cabo
Review submitted: October 20, 2011 Date of arrival: October 4, 2011
Our stay at Sophie,s home was wonderful. She and her husband have a beautiful home that is very well maintained. it even come with "Rosie" a daily housekeeper who does the laundry, makes the beds, washes the dishes and cleans the house daily. She makes sure that you have fresh towels everyday and these "Tommy Bahama" towels are the biggest bath towels I have ever seen and very plush. You are even supplied with large quantities of beach towels, again very,very big and plush. The backyard is beautiful with a Hugh patio area and a lovely swimming pool that is maintained weekly. There is also a pizza oven and BBQ to use if you want to enjoy a romantic evening at home. The house is 2 stories, plus a rooftop opening that you can enjoy the morning sunrises and see the large groups of swallows waking up and flying right over you each morning. You are within walking distance of the beach ( which is across the street) and very close to "Zippers Surfing Beach", a 3 minute drive from the villa. The center of town San Jose Del Cabo is only a 5 minute drive from the villa, and if you don't have a car or don't want to drive at night a taxi ride is only $5.00 each way. All you have to do is walk down to the end of the cul de sac and request a taxi at the "Park Royal". There is a Hugh " Mega Store" for groceries, a 5 minute walk from the villa and guess what " Starbucks" is also there for your daily coffee drink. A little bit of home each each morning. You are also treated to a complimentary breakfast at the owners French Rivera Bakery/Bistro. Very charming and the best chocolate croissants. Sophie will also help you get the best car rental deal, give her your information and lo and behold you will receive an email from Budget with all you information and a great rate. We will definitely be back next year Sophie...PS...there are no Mosquitos or flies. just a lot of warm weather. we even left our 2 floats there for the next guests. Enjoy because the pool is a great way to keep cool and get a beautiful tan at the same time, and even though the backyard of the villa sits on the golf course it is very private and very quiet.

The property is very pleasant and look even better than the description.
The outside pizza oven and the outside kitchen are really great, you can really enjoy very nice evening.
It is near beaches and shops.
We really appreciate San Jose and its little charming shops.
Our best place was French Riviera bistrot, where you can have the best French breakfast, lunch and diner.
We practice golf, therefore the place is just the paradise for a golfer.

Dream rental at Villa Los Cabos
Review submitted: July 10, 2011 Date of arrival: November 18, 2010
This gorgeous house is spacious and airy, extremely comfortable, and is even better than the description online.
We used both the indoor and outdoor kitchens, enjoying breakfast and dinner by the pool as much as in the indoor dining space.
The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and yet only a 4-5' drive from the center of town, the stores and the beaches. The proximity to the town is great as it makes it easy to hire taxis if you're out for the night in the many bars and night clubs.
Our favorite restaurant was the French Riviera in Los Cabos. We also loved the fact that they had a bakery, providing fresh baked croissants and bread on a daily basis.
Being in our own home instead of a hotel enabled us to relax 100%. We were able to unwind in our home-away-from-home, to eat/drink on our own schedule, to take day trips up both sides of the coasts - all in total privacy..
I would recommended this property to friends (have done so already) and look forward to returning here as soon as I can take time off from work!

What DO I do when I get on cam? Good question ;)
You can visit me live on Cam nightly from 6-10pm PST by visiting this link:
I love getting dressed up in something ultra sheer & sexy & getting ready to get on cam. In real life I am very shy & quiet. I am usually quite nervous just before getting on cam, but once I'm live & my visitors start coming in & chatting, I love absolutely every single second that I'm live. It comes quite naturally for me to talk, giggle & tease you. I love interacting with all of the members who enter my room. I prefer that you say hello when you enter my cam room & chat with me. I want to get to know YOU as much as you want to get to know me. It also helps the room environment when everyone is chatting & getting in on the party…the chattier you are, the chattier & gigglier I become ;)
I am very laid back while on cam…ahem, seriously – I am either dancing sexy for you or lying on my back on my bed playing with myself at the perfect eye level for you to catch a glimpse of pretty much everything ;)
My lights are kept low, candles glowing & sexy music playing in the background. I am usually dancing & strutting my booty for you to see. Occasionally, during public chat I will lay on my bed & play with myself up close for you, but like I said, usually I am dancing & teasing you. It won't take you long to watch me dance, strut & grind my stuff & tease you with my booty, pretty titties & puss-puss before you can't take it any longer & need to take me private & have your own special one-on-one time with me where we can both be ourselves alone & really get turned on & get "it" on.
Once we are in private & alone together, I will do an even sexier strip tease for you where I take it all off for you before I take you to my bed. Here I will give you a sloppy, hot 'n steamy blow job before allowing you to enter my perfect shaved pussy. We can do it in whichever position pleases you…on my back, doggy style, riding you…whatever pleases you. I will play with myself, suck you & fuck you until you & I both cum H-A-R-D together. In private shows, I will do whatever it is that you enjoy & that turns you on. If you have special color or clothing requests, it is best to book a Skype show with me or contact me prior to my scheduled time so that I can have these items ready for your private show. I do not fist, squirt (although I'm learning & getting better) or pee on cam though. I love to do shower & oil shows too.
I can go from your classy woman to your dirty little slut faster than you can say "That's how Daddy likes it". Cum visit me & find out for yourself.

KENNEWICK, Wash.-- Local law enforcement is cracking down on gang activity. Friday we told you about a gang sweep that happened this week. In the sweep, 27 gang members were put behind bars.
The Kennewick Police Chief, Ken Hohenberg, tells me there are lots of factors that go into deciding to carry out a gang sweep.
A big increase in gang violence this year prompted Kennewick, Richland and Pasco Police Departments to team up and conduct the sweep.
Last year, in Kennewick officers responded to 17 violent gang incidents. But this year, Kennewick Police have already responded to 36.
Another issue is an increase in gang graffiti. The graffiti tells messages to rival gangs and shows increased activity.
"Incidents involving some sort of weapon, and we're not even through 2012 yet but, we've had twice as much as we did last year. That's definitely an indicator to us and that's the reason why we continue to reach out in the community," Hohenberg said.
Chief Hohenberg says that community tips really do help them fight gang activity and they want to hear any tips someone has to report.
Hohenburg says they will be relentless in dealing with gang behavior and continue to partner with local and federal agencies to stop gang crime.

Elijah is the first child for the couple, who met while in high school.
In 2011, Heather – who plays Brittany Pierce on "Glee" – raved about Taylor in an interview with Fitness magazine, even saying she would give up acting if that's what he wanted.
"I want to marry him so bad. That's what I really care about," she said at the time. "I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him.
"I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue doing it," she added.

80 years LEGO Group
18.07.12 - 13:11
The LEGO Group is celebrating its 80th anniversary on August, 10th 2012 and can look back onto an impressive success story.
In 1932 Ole Kirk Christiansen founded a production company for wooden toys in the Danish city of Billund. His central idea was, "Only the best is good enough." The motto stayed, but other than that, a lot changed. From the originally small workshop, the LEGO Company today is the third largest toy producer in the world. It is currently represented in more than 130 countries with approx. 10,000 employees. The German branch was founded in 1956. The name LEGO comes from the two Danish words "leg" and "got", which translates to "play well".
The success story of the LEGO brick
The triumph of the LEGO Group started almost fifteen years after the foundation of the company, when Ole Kirk Christiansen discovered that plastic was the ideal material for toy production. At the end of the 1940s, the first bricks hit the market, which resemble the modern classic of today.
In 1958 Christiansen perfected the LEGO brick with the familiar knobs-and-tubes-connecting-system, which is what the now 3120 different LEGO elements are still based on.
Since 1962, LEGO bricks are made of ABS. This matte-gloss plastic is very hard and has a scratch- and bite- proof surface. The LEGO basic material is also completely safe. For toddlers who like putting their toys in their mouth or biting on them, the material is perfectly suitable - especially the LEGO DUPLO bricks, which are twice as big as the normal LEGO bricks and therefore cannot be swallowed.
From small to big: Building fun for every LEGO fan
In addition to the classic LEGO brick sets, the LEGO Group has over 25 product lines in their range. The product lines of LEGO DUPLO and City, with their realistic themes, like zoo, police or fire department stations, are especially made for preschool and primary school children.
Boys aged seven and up can dive into different fantasy worlds whether it's with the Monster Fighters, the LEGO Star Wars Sets or with the Asian themed, Ninjago characters. LEGO Ninjago building sets and minifigures have been complemented with a competition element for the first time ever in 2011: kids interact against each other with circular plates, known as the Spinners, and action cards.
Technic enthusiastic children from around age nine will be satisfied by the MINDSTORMS and Technic sets product lines.
Not only children but also adults enjoy tricky construction challenges of the Technic and Architecture sets or the exclusive items such as the LEGO VW T1 camping bus. LEGOmen.de includes collector's items for men to admire.
Since 2009 the LEGO Games open families with children aged five or older a new dimension of LEGO fun. With the buildable LEGO dice and the changeable game board (made out of classic LEGO elements), each game becomes a new, individual side.
The new LEGO Friends sets all around friendship bring lots of fun, especially for girls: the products with lovely details and cute accessories combine building and role play with the themes of nature, sport, music, and animals in a fun and playful way.

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — The Knobs Baptist Church is honoring their Senior Pastor, Randy Miller. Sunday, January 5, marks 20 years of faithful service as pastor, and there will be an open house at the church beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Randy Miller and his family came to Knobs Baptist in rural Tower Hill in January of 1994. Pastor Miller is an Illinois native. He was born and raised in the Peoria area, growing up in Benton. Upon graduating from High School, Randy worked at a grain elevator near Benton, with plans to attend college shortly thereafter. On his last day of work, at lunch time, there was a terrible explosion. A gas leak under the break room ignited causing the explosion. Randy was seriously injured and spent weeks in the burn unit. He later said that God used that event to redirect his life, and convince him that he must be a minister of the Gospel.
The next school year Randy enrolled in the Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, Tennessee, under the leadership of Pastor and President Dr. Lee Roberson. Upon completing his degree Randy was invited to serve as a youth pastor in Michigan. Eventually, he was invited to serve on staff of the Highland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga. Just prior to his service in Chattanooga, Randy married his wife Mildred on March 14th 1987. Randy served a number of years under his mentor and role-model, Dr. Roberson before answering the call to Pastor the Knobs Baptist Church. Pastor Miller and his wife, Mildred, have four children, Brittney Miller Wren of Tampa, Florida, Nathaniel Miller of Virginia Beach, Virginia attending Law School, Stephen Miller of Powell, Tennessee attending Bible college, and Courtney Miller of Pensacola, Florida attending Bible college.
In the years since his coming to Knobs the church has experienced many blessings. Pastor Miller has been a faithful man for 20 years, and the people of Knobs Baptist are very thankful to have him for their Pastor.
Those who know Pastor Miller and would like to attend the celebration are invited to the church on Sunday, January 5, at 4:30 p.m. with a service to follow. The Knobs Baptist Church is located 3 miles north of Tower Hill on the Knobs Church Rd. Please call Pastor Adam for more information or directions to the church at 217-825-8653.

Hi followers! Just to let you all know, I didn't have consistent internet access for about two weeks, and I'm just getting settled into my new apartment now. New posts and submissions will be published later in the week.
I'm not very good with consistent tagging for pairings, to be honest. I always knew that nivanfield had a unique ship name, whereas "Shake," "Aeon," and the others overlap with non-RE centric tags, and I didn't want to spam. I can start tagging with "character x character" tags, if people are interested in that.
