November 21, 2011-
This season was a great success.
We finished the season at 5-5 on the books, though the last game was stained by a goal scored by Esteban Vargas, which ultimately was not counted. With that goal counted the score would have been 2-2 ending our season in a 5-4-1.
Highlights of the game included a goal by Lorenzo Regalado, several big stops by Esteban Vargas (as well as the uncounted goal) and one major stop by our late backup goalie Fernando Carrillo. As always Alessandro Contreraz performed at a high level.
All in all this season was great and the boy's developed their soccer skills immensely. We look forward to the the seasons to come!!!
November 17, 2011-

The Squeeze Inn has been gracious enough to open their doors after their normal hours for our teams end of the year party. Please Join us for the celebration and trophy ceremony.
November 12, 2011-
Saturday we suffered a devastating loss. We had a few players that did not show up, and struggled with players covering positions that they normally do not play. The final score was 3-1 and highlights in the game included 1 goal by Lorenzo Regalado.
We are fast approaching the end of the season. We have one more game scheduled for the season against the Parkway Patriots. We will be working hard this week to finish the season on a positive note.
November 7, 2011-
This weeks game against Parkway Angels was a tough one, though we finished on top. The final score was 2-1. Goal scorers were Lorenzo Regalado and Daniel Ruiz. Rafael Geronimo also scored a goal which ultimately was called back due to a questionable offside call.
This weeks MVP was again Jorge Chavez for his stellar performance in the defense. Fernando Carrillo had a great showing in the goal box as a stand for our vacationing goal keeper.
November 1, 2011-
NOTE: This weeks game that was scheduled for November 5, 2011 at 4:00 PM has been changed to 9:00 AM.
The game will still be at Ethel I Baker.
Happy Halloween... Hope everyone had lots of fun, but did not eat too much candy.
Practice tonight at our new location listed below.
Last weeks game was awesome.... We shut out GH Pirates 5-0. Our team has taken a 180 degree turn. Our hard work is paying off.
Highlights include 2 goals by Lorenzo Regalado, 1 goal by Rafael Geronimo, and 1 goal by Bryan Ortega. The very first goal of the game was an own goal. This weeks MVP was Jorge Chavez- his will to fight for the ball has proven to be a great asset to the team, he was the greatest contributor to this weeks clean sheet.
October 26, 2011-
Great News!!! We now have access to lighted fields. After today's practice we will be practicing at Bowling Green Park on 49th Street off of Franklin Blvd. This means we will have an extra day to practice this week. AWESOME!!!
Starting next week practices will be Tuesday and Thursday 5:30PM to 7:00PM at Bowling Green.
October 22, 2011-
As predicted, Saturday's game against GH Gold had a much better outcome. In fact, we beat a team 5-1 that had previously beat us 4-1. Our hard work is paying off and our boys are gaining confidence. When asked "Is this enough?" All the boys replied, "No Coach!" They are developing a very competitive spirit and killer instinct it takes to finish on top.
Highlights of the game included 2 goals by Rafael Geronimo from free kicks, 1 goal from Lorenzo Regalado, 1 goal from Bryan Ortega. Once again our goal keeper saved the day with a series of fantastic saves, including one he stopped with his throat, but refused to let the ball escape his grasp.
Great job boy's, lets keep working hard and developing our skills for the games to come.
October 19, 2011-
2nd half of the season has now been scheduled and we held our position in the D division.
This weeks game will offer us a chance for payback, as we will be facing a previous opponent, in GH Gold. I am confident we will see a much better outcome.
October 12, 2011-
Picture re-takes will be this Saturday October 15, 2011 at 11 AM at Ethel I Baker.
Please be sure to be there by 10:30 AM. Kids should show up in full uniform. We are attempting to schedule a scrimmage game for after pictures. Please also bring your warm ups as we may take some pictures with those on.
October 10, 2011-
No practice today. Hopefully we are all ready for Wednesday's practice.
REMINDER- Saturday October 15, 2011 will be picture day for our team. These are retakes as our entire team's pictures did not come out for some reason. Please be sure to be at Ethel I. Baker at 10:30 AM.
October 8, 2011-
Great game this week. We defeated the Land Park Crushers in a 3-2 battle. Highlights include goals from Alessandro Contreraz, Lorenzo Regalado, and Bryan Ortega. Esteban Vargas held the game to 3-2 when the Crushers took a shot which found him out of position. Esteban summoned his quick reflexes to save the sure goal with a diving slap, guiding the ball away from our goal.
October 3, 2011-
The rainy season is looming and I would like to address the question on everyone's mind.
YES we will practice in the rain!!
Other than during a hurricane, we will continue to practice Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM.
This is a good thing, because there are rarely rain outs in soccer. Our team will be ready to play in these conditions.
Fruitridge Real Madrid women's T-shirts are now available. Men's will come in shortly.
T-shirt prices starting at $15. Be the first to have your very own FRM T-shirt!
October 1, 2011-
Tough break Saturday, though we had our best performance of the season against what is boasted to be the best team in the division, the final score was 4-2. One of the goals scored by the opposing side was a gift from the referee who decided to call a penalty on a hand ball that was clearly outside of the box.
On a very positive note, our defense held IY Toluca to a mere 4 goals, which is the least goals they scored on every other team they have played this season. In all their other games Toluca has scored 8-9 goals.
Highlights of the game included a goal by Baltazar Silva and another by Lorenzo Regalado. Esteban Vargas had another great performance in the box, and once again our defense performed at a high level.
Kristhion Delgado, Alessandro Contreraz and Bryan Ortega exhibited the will to win into the last few minutes of the game.
September 25, 2011-
We had a great showing of our improved conditioning and passing this weekend. This weeks loss was a tough one, our boys fought hard into the last minutes of the game but we ended the game with a 2-1 loss. Highlights included a goal from Lorenzo Regalado and a some great defending by Fernando Carrillo, Jorge Chavez and Emmanuel Lopez-Lira. Our goal keeper Esteban Vargas performed very well as always. Alessandro Contreraz exhibited his great conditioning and enormous heart when he refused to give in until the final whistle.
Though we were disappointed with this last defeat, we did notice a great improvement in the team. Passing has now become second nature and a few shots exhibited our shooting power has greatly increased. We look forward to continuing to work hard and prepare for this weeks game.
September 23, 2011-
Tomorrow is a big game against East Sacramento Cheetahs. We have an identical win loss record but they are behind us by 1 point in goal differential. This should be a great game. We hope to exhibit our newly found conditioning and come out on top. Come cheer us on!!
PARENTS- Please check out our newest page "Coach's Corner". This page is designed to help those parents who would like to assist in the growth of their little soccer star. Each week Coach Arty will be providing tips on how you can help with your child's progression in training.
September 19, 2011-
Practice was awesome. We took advantage of the sun and worked hard. We look forward to Saturday's game and will be ready for game time.
September 18, 2011-
Yesterdays loss to Greenhaven Gold was a devastating one, our only major highlight was a goal from Rafael Geronimo in the last 10 minutes of the game. On the positive side, our boys exhibited a new found interest in working harder in practice. We took this loss with our heads up and look forward to improving and getting bigger, faster and stronger. Mondays practice will be used to identify our strengths and weaknesses. We will make adjustment to our training program to grow from this experience. GO REAL MADRID!!!
September 16, 2011-
Big game tomorrow against Greenhaven Gold. They are coming off of a 7-0 win over Land Parks Crushers. But they will have their hands full with our boys. Come cheer us on Saturday at 1PM at Matsuyama Elementary School. Details on our schedule page.
September 12, 2011-
Reno Bus trip was a blast.... We are looking into future trips, see our fundraising page for upcoming events.
September 10, 2011-
Congratulations are in order, this weeks game against Land Park Super Scores was a nail biter, though our boys came out victorious in a 3-0 win.
Highlights of the game included 2 goals by Lorenzo Regalado and 1 goal by Rafael Geronimo via a free kick from the top of the center circle in the last few minutes of the game. Esteban Vargas made a monster stop in one of the few attempts the opposing team had at our goal, thanks to the rock solid defenders.
Real Madrid is an under 8 boy's soccer team from Fruitridge Soccer Club. This team is newly established (2011) and has a mix of both new and experienced soccer players.
At this level we try to teach our boys the fundamentals of soccer and a good work ethic. Sportsmanship and a competitive spirit are critical to the training process. Even at this level we expect a certain level of professionalism from our players.
The Coaching Staff has a 15 years of combined coaching experience and 40 years combined playing experience.

Denver comedian in round two of America's Got Talent

Around the corner and through the coffee shop is a very dark gallery, lighted mostly by footlights. In the dark is Denver illusionist Standish Lawder's "Tongue Toys," a stereoscopic installation of three-dimensional slides of tongue piercings running continually on a loop. Special features of this piece include the use of 3-D glasses and a squishy floor covered in springy Styrofoam, an aspect Masuoka conceived of to add a compatible tactile experience to the visual one.
The exhibit ends with a pair of animated lenticular lens photos by Aspen artist Linda Girvin. They're perfect after Lawder's piece. Using an elaborate printing method in which different photos are adhered on either side of raised ridges, Girvin creates the suggestion of movement as one image changes into another when we walk by the piece.
The idea for Colorado Biennial was a very good one, but with Masuoka leaving so soon, it's hard to say whether the next one, tentatively slated for 2002, will ever get off the ground. We'll just have to wait and see.
Masuoka may have left MoCAD, but he's staying on as a player in Denver's art world. He's set to enter into a partnership with Sandy Carson at her Sandy Carson Gallery. At MoCAD, museum staffers Patty Ortiz and Sarah Nuece will serve as interim co-directors until a new permanent director is found. The board of trustees hopes to have a new director in place by the first of next year.

Description: -
sung by Loula
the vibe is right, people grooving.
When you're feeling all alone and lonely,
come to where the action is.
Lot of people walking down the avenue.
Everybody's looking for something new.
You know it don't hurt to have a little fun.
Some say that life is like a rainy day.
They say there's no hope for the youth today.
Life's how you make it, give yourself some freedom.
Let's get together and share what's
there for you and me.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The sounds of West Africa filled Tuloso-Midway Intermediate School. The students took part in the "Day of Drumming" program. The music teacher, Diana Deaton says "Drum Circles" are the up-and-coming thing in elementary music.
Fourth and fifth grade students followed along as David Cox taught them how to tap on the djembe drums.
"I bring a drum for each student and they get to learn about West African Culture, music, drums," Cox said.
Cox is the owner of Rhythm Path, a company that teachers others about the West African culture through "drum circles".
"I've always had a love for learning and I'm very excited to learn about the music of West Africa," one student said.
The high energy lesson is something the students appreciate. Even staff members and others had a chance to bang the drums. It's all thanks to a grant that Deaton received to pay for the program.
"Teaching from other cultures and other countries is part of our TEAKS. So he's going to teach songs and rhythms and culture, things that about West Africa and all of that will be stuff I want to incorporate later," Deaton said.
Cox says the interactive drumming, helps students understand how villages in Africa communicate and why they do it.
"They will communicate when there's a festival, when they're celebrating the harvest, when someone is getting married, they will get out their drums and drum all night long," he added.
The students did celebrate. One of them even got to be the maestro for the crowd.

Desire for power is a basic human instinct. But few people achieve it — or at least a great deal of it.
In his book "Power: Why Some People Have It — And Others Don't," Stanford business professor Jeffrey Pfeffer tells us why we should want it, and how to go about getting it.
Most of us willingly give up power, or ruin our chances of ever getting it by never even trying (it's called the self-handicapping principal).
Here are the best takeaways from Pfeffer's book.
"One of the biggest mistakes people make is thinking good performance — job accomplishments — is sufficient to acquire power and avoid organizational difficulties. Consequently, people leave too much to chance and fail to effectively manage their careers."

"Larry Summers, Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, president of Harvard University and former head of President Barack Obama's National Economic Council, is often described as prickly, outspoken, and not very sensitive. … [But] not only has Summers's reputation not hurt him; it has actually helped."

Your relationship with your boss matters more. "In 1980, economists James Medoff and Katherine Abraham observed that salaries in companies were more strongly related to age and organizational tenure than they were to job performance."

"Turnover in senior executive ranks was affected by CEO turnover, particularly when an outsider came in. That's because CEOs like to put loyalists in senior positions — regardless of what past incumbents have accomplished."

"Many studies show that networking is positively related to obtaining good performance evaluations, objective measures of career success such as salary and organizational level, and subjective attitudes assessing career satisfaction."

"In every war in the last 200 years conducted between unequally matched opponents, the stronger party won about 72% of the time. However, when the underdogs understood their weakness and used a different strategy to minimize its effects, they won some 64% of the time, cutting the dominant party's likelihood of victory in half."

"It would be nice to be Sergey Brin or Larry Page … or Bill Gates. As they move through venues like the World Economic Forum, they are surrounded not just by security staff but by people who want to meet them and get close to them and the organizations they lead."

"Because we like to think well of ourselves, we overestimate our own abilities and performance. … When people focus on what they need to get to the next stage of their careers, they are less defensive."

"Research shows that people who express anger are seen 'as dominant, strong, competent, and smart.'

For most businesses, generating leads is the ultimate benefit of creating and maintaining a social media presence. But first things first. In order to make social media an effective lead generation machine, you first need to generate a following — fans for your Facebook page, followers for your Twitter account and LinkedIn company page, etc.
The more fans and followers you have for your social media presence, the better reach you'll have. And better reach means the potential to generate more leads! So at the very core of social media for lead generation, you must take steps to increase your reach. To help you get started, here are 8 guaranteed ways to expand your social media reach.
1. Optimize Your Social Presence: First and foremost, you must make sure your presence is optimized. Make sure the bios/profiles for your social media accounts are complete and that they include clear and concise descriptions of your business, your company logo, and your website URL. And now that social media updates are included in search results, be sure you're also optimizing your tweets, Facebook posts, and LinkedIn company status updates with keywords appropriate for your business, which could help you get found in search.
2. Promote Your Social Presence Everywhere: And by everywhere, we mean everywhere — on various pages of your website, on your blog, on signage in your storefront if you're a local business, in print advertising, on your business cards, in your email marketing messages. Many social media sites now have official 'follow' buttons you can include on your website and blog. If not, you can create your own button and link it to your social media account. Twitter, for example, offers an official follow button that enables your site visitors to become a Twitter follower with just one click!
3. Share Useful, Valuable Content: It's not just enough to promote your presence. You need to make your presence is something that's worth following in the first place. Make sure your tweets, Facebook posts, and LinkedIn updates consist of valuable, useful, and engaging content. Avoid product-focused content, and instead, make your social updates consist of educational content that has the potential to attract more fans and followers. People follow brands in social media because they're looking for something useful, not because they want to know about how great your products and services are.
4. Add Social Sharing Buttons to All Your Content: Just as you should be promoting your social presence in as many places as possible, you should also be enabling your site visitors and email subscribers to share your content with their personal networks as easily as possible. Add social sharing buttons (e.g. "Share on Facebook" "Tweet This," etc.) to all of your content — on individual blog articles, in email messages, on landing pages for ebook and webinar downloads, within the pages of your ebooks, etc. By evangelizing your audience to share your content, you'll have better potential to reach a broader audience that extends beyong your direct network of fans and followers. And if those people like the content that their friends are sharing with them, they may be inclined to become direct followers of you, too!
5. Find, Follow, and Build Relationships With People In Your Industry: Use tools like Tweet Grader, Twitter Search, and Twellow to identify other Twitter users in your industry. Start following them, participating in discussions, and engaging in conversations. Find and follow other influential bloggers and retweet their content. Follow back anyone who follows you. Participate in Twitter chats and hashtag conversations like #FollowFriday (#FF). Start following some of the people your followers (and the people you're following) are following, too!
6. Interact With Fans and Followers: Just as you should be regularly sharing educational, insightful content, you should also be monitoring your presence and interacting with your fans and followers. Ask questions, be engaging, and participate in discussions to create a presence worth following.
7. Create a Custom Facebook Welcome Page: Follow this quick tutorial to create a custom Facebook landing page tab to welcome first-time visitors of your Facebook page. Set the page as your 'Default landing Tab' (you can do this when you're editing your page under 'Manage Permissions'), and use the tab to encourage new visitors to 'like' you right off the bat! (Note: With HubSpot, you can take this one step further by installing HubSpot's Welcome App, which also presents visitors with a form that can convert them into leads directly within Facebook.)
8. Offer Incentives for New Fans/Followers: Make it so your social media presence is a must-follow. Research shows that 58% of Facebook users expect exclusive offers from business pages, so consider offering exclusive promotions and offers available only to your social media followers. Create a Facebook contest and make it a requirement for users to 'like' you in order to be eligible. Create an offer available only to Twitter followers that can't be obtained elsewhere. Make it so that users need to follow you in order to receive specific perks.
Building your social media reach will take some time, but if you are committed to the steps above, we guarantee you'll start seeing results. How else would you recommend increasing your social media reach?

Noah Goldstein's, Steve Martin's (no, not that Steve Martin's) and Robert Cialdini's Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive is a pop psych book, where a bunch of research in psychology is distilled into one readable volume.
50 scientifically proven ways constitute 50 chapters of the book, longest of which take 7 pages. The authors take the position that persuasion is a science, not art, hence with the right approach anybody can become the master in the skill of persuasion. So, what are the 50 ways?
If you liked reading review of this book, check out my review of Predictably Irrational, which is written by a psychology professor and explores the topic of human irrationality in our perfectly rational world.

I've always found it odd that Perez Hilton considers a woman's crotch to be so "offensive" — personally, I think his posting crotch shots and calling them offensive is what's offensive. (So is drawing crude scribbles of penises ejaculating sperm on people's faces, but that's another post.) As if seeing a vagina would cause him to go blind. In any case, Pink did her thing on stage while performing in the U.K., her covered crotch made an appearance, and no one cared or lost their vision. [6/24/10] Keep reading »

HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Texans are giving Ronnie Brown an opportunity to continue his career.
The 32-year-old Brown joined the Texans on Tuesday in a reshuffling of the lineup of running backs behind Arian Foster. Houston also added William Powell and cut Andre Brown, Dennis Johnson and Tim Cornett.
The second overall pick by Miami in 2005, Brown had only 91 carries over the past two seasons in San Diego. He was confident - just not 100 percent sure - that an NFL team would give him a chance this season as he worked to stay in football shape back home in Atlanta.
"You can't assume anything in this business," Brown said. "You just try to take it for what it's worth, take it one day at a time. The opportunities and the things you can control (are) what you have in front of you."
Brown won't guess on how many productive seasons he has left. He's just thankful the Texans are taking a chance on him.
"Obviously, this is my passion," Brown said. "I love to do it and it feels good to be out here and be a part of the team. I still feel like I have a long way to go and I still feel like I have a lot left."
His best statistical season came way back in 2006, when he topped 1,000 yards rushing for the only time in his career. He earned his only Pro Bowl invitation in 2008, rushing for 961 yards and 10 touchdowns as he split carries with Ricky Williams. He played six seasons in Miami and remains the Dolphins' third all-time rusher (4,815 yards), behind Williams (6,436 yards) and Larry Csonka (6,737 yards).
Brown's career started to fade after he signed with Philadelphia in 2011. He dropped behind starter LeSean McCoy and rookie Dion Lewis on the depth chart early in the season and the Eagles tried to trade him to Detroit for running back Jerome Harrison.
The deal was rescinded when Harrison was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Brown finished the year with only 42 carries and signed with San Diego in the offseason.
Now entering his 10th season, Brown felt reinvigorated on Tuesday, eager to test the Houston humidity for the remainder of training camp. He'll lean heavily on Foster to get familiar with the offense, and feels as if his experience will speed up his learning curve.
"It's a lot of things that I've got to get done fairly quickly," Brown said. "But at the same time, I think we have a little bit of time."
The 26-year-old Powell is a Houston native. He was picked up by Arizona as an undrafted free agent in 2011 and rushed for 217 yards on 60 carries in 13 games for the Cardinals in 2012.
With Foster sidelined for most of training camp with a hamstring injury, Jonathan Grimes and rookie Alfred Blue took the majority of the carries in the preseason opener in Arizona. Andre Brown, signed in the offseason to potentially back up Foster, didn't have any carries against the Cardinals.
"Those guys that we released worked very hard," coach Bill O'Brien said. "It wasn't a matter of any one of them doing anything particularly wrong. It was more a matter of, 'Hey, we got a chance to bring in some guys as we look toward the final roster in three weeks. We got a chance to have some guys here to see if we can improve the team.'"
The Texans will hold joint practices this week with Atlanta before playing the Falcons on Saturday night.
Notes: Foster and star receiver Andre Johnson sat out Tuesday's workout. O'Brien said if they're cleared by trainers, Foster and Johnson may both practice and play against the Falcons this week. ... Rookie NT Louis Nix III, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery before training camp, came off the physically unable to perform list and returned to practice. ... Rookie fullback Jay Prosch was also back at practice after a long absence, working with a bulky cast covering his left hand and wrist.

Reports: Rachel Zoe Pregnant with Second Child
Us Weekly says so.

Skip to content, or skip to search.
Us Weekly says so.
Karlie Kloss and Rachel Zoe, for example.
On a positive note, lots of it is now on sale.
Kate Hudson? Leighton Meester? Anyone from Gossip Girl?
"I am trying to bring back the fanny pack!"
Season five is on the way.
It's gold and flashy.
... To add to the list.
Good thing negotiations are underway for a fifth season of her own show.
The label is expanding to 400 more outlets over the next year.
But for now, they're "top secret."
Also, baby Skyler has not yet grown attached to any accessories.
This is what happens when Rachel bakes salami.
"The problem [with giving birth] is it is such an unglamorous experience."
"I'm like a snake that's swallowed a basketball."
Todd Shemarya helped Zoe land some career-making contracts, like her Bravo reality show.
Death becomes Team Zoe as the Oscars approach.
"Let me explain something very clearly: You don't need a reason to go to Vegas," he says. How very wrong he is!

MICHIGAN (WDIV) - A Detroit, Michigan man is in the hospital after a car crash, but it wasn't the crash that injured him. Instead, he was severely beaten afterwards on a nearby street corner.
Nathanial Szczerbinski admitted he caused the wreck because he was driving the wrong way down an unfamiliar Detroit street. He said he stopped and started to turn around when he was struck by a Chevy van. As Szczerbinski got out, he was confronted by the three guys who were in the van.
Police say the men quickly went on the attack, repeatedly punching and kicking Szczerbinski.

UK EuroMillions Jackpot Win Remains Unclaimed
A week ago the EuroMillions jackpot of just over £22 million was won by a UK ticket holder (or holders if bought in a syndicate) when they matched the five plus two combination drawn in the EuroMillions results. However, this UK EuroMillions jackpot win remains unclaimed as the jackpot winner has failed to come forward and collect their impressive EuroMillions jackpot win. This was actually the fourth UK jackpot win in a row - something which people were referring to as 'unbelievable'.
Whether the ticket holder hasn't checked the EuroMillions results yet or has simply lost their ticket remains to be seen, however lottery officials are urging everyone to check their tickets.
Normally when players win the EuroMillions jackpot they make the claim sooner rather than later in fear of losing their ticket, so it will be interesting to see why the UK winning ticket holder is yet to make the life-changing phone call and collect their jackpot win to become a millionaire.
If this jackpot still hasn't been claimed by the 15th March then the lottery officials will release the area that the ticket was bought in. Although it has only been a week since this EuroMillions jackpot was won by a UK player, they do actually have until 29th August 2012 to claim their win and if by then still no one has claimed the win the money will be added to the pot which goes towards Good Causes.
The EuroMillions results from the 2nd March were 5, 6, 11, 30, 44 and the Lucky Stars were 2 and 6, so check and then check again as you never know you could be sat on this winning EuroMillions ticket!

Texans for Rick Perry is thrilled to announce today that our campaign raised $4,231,086.49 from 1,076 donors over a nine day period from June 22 – June 30, nearly doubling contributions from the same time period in 2005. The total includes $454,094 in online contributions. The campaign will also report $9,355,100.35 cash-on-hand.
"This is a remarkable accomplishment and a ringing endorsement of Governor Perry," said Jim Lee, one of Governor Perry's state finance chairs. "95% of those contributing are from Texas, showing that Texans continue to appreciate and value his leadership."
"This outpouring of support from across the state clearly indicates that Texans have embraced Governor Perry's vision for Texas," said Mark Miner. "People value action over talk and their faith in Governor Perry was validated by a successful legislative session that resulted in a tax cut for small businesses, protection of private property rights and a balanced budget that cut general revenue spending. Our team is energized by the support Governor Perry continues to receive across the state."
If you would like to join Governor Perry's growing team, create your own personal fundraising page at http://www.RickPerry.org/fundraise. Also, be sure to follow @GovernorPerry for updates straight from the Governor and @GovPerry2010 for updates from the campaign. The campaign published these fundraising numbers first on twitter, then on Governor Perry's Facebook page.

Early Saturday afternoon, on July 4th at the Courthouse in Rockwall, Texas, Governor Perry visited with several hundred Texans at a lively, patriotic TEA Party. Watch the video for yourself:
Rockwall was recently named by Family Circle magazine as one of the ten best cities in America. Way to go, Rockwall-- well-deserved.
Check back often at Governor Perry's YouTube Channel for lots of fresh videos every week. Be sure to follow Rick Perry on Twitter: @GovernorPerry.
On the South Steps of the Texas Capitol, in the middle of a hot July 4 day, thousands of rowdy TEA Party patriots converged to send a loud and clear message to Washington that we are Taxed Enough Already.
Governor Perry spoke at the event, and fired up the crowd. Be sure to check out this video of his speech:
To get involved, text "FED UP" to 95613. You can also become an online fundraiser for Governor Perry by visiting http://www.RickPerry.org/fundraise.
On July 4, Governor Perry attended the San Antonio TEA Party with thousands of his fellow patriots. The Governor was proud to be the first elected official to sign the S.A. TEA Party's Contract with the Constitution and introduce his good friend Marcus Luttrell. Watch for yourself::
For more TEA Party videos, please visit Governor Perry's YouTube channel. To see hundreds more TEA Party photos, don't miss Governor Perry's Flickr Photostream.
The Governor and the campaign would love to connect with you online. As always, you can see the most up-to-date photos and other updates straight from Rick Perry on @GovernorPerry's Twitter page. If you are on Facebook, don't forget to add yourself as a Perry 2010 supporter.
Tonight in Sulphur Springs, Texas, Governor Perry spoke to a patriotic, fired-up crowd of T.E.A. party patriots. Watch a quick excerpt of the speech here:
Be sure to check back over the weekend and into early next week for more Independence Day T.E.A. party videos. Follow along with the action on Twitter, as well. You can follow @GovernorPerry for tweets straight from Governor Rick Perry, and check out @GovPerry2010 for updates from campaign staff.

Below is a list of the TEA parties that Governor Perry will attend this weekend (note: the times listed are rough estimates of when Governor Perry will participate-- be sure to check the web for the most up-to-date information about individual TEA parties):

Be sure to follow @GovPerry2010 on Twitter.com for live photo updates from these four TEA parties this weekend.
Wednesday, Governor Perry linked up via webcam for a PJTV interview with Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit. The two discussed social media, Texas' balanced budget, cap and trade, tort reform, border security, and upcoming TEA parties. The Governor explained the four ways to keep a state on the right track: 1) keep taxes low; 2) keep your regulatory climate fair and predictable; 3) create a legal system that prevents oversuing; and 4) make education accountable. You can watch the entire interview here:
Yesterday, as midnight of June 30th approached, David White and Jonathon McClellan challenged one another to an online fundraising duel.
The results are in, and Jon is the clear winner. But, hold on, there is a twist to this story.
Jon raised $1875 from 11 donations online yesterday. David raised $1360 from 18 donations. In some ways, David's numbers (more individual contributors) are more impressive, but ultimately Jon gets the win.
Neither David nor Jon are content to let their fundraising duel end there. The stakes are now much, much higher:
This is going to be fun.
Create your own personal fundraising page at http://www.RickPerry.org/fundraise, and challenge yourself or your friends to your own goal. The June 30 reporting period deadline has come and gone, but the campaign is still raising money, and every 5 and 10 dollar contribution sends a statement that Governor Perry's principled, conservative leadership is what is right for Texas.
David White and Jonathon McClellan of the Perry campaign have challenged each other to a fundraising duel before the June 30 deadline. The showdown ends at midnight tonight!

I recently purchased a HALO TSA to accompany my PROTO SLG because they were on sale for really cheap. I figured 12-15 BPS is pretty good, and it qualifies as a legal hopper for SPPL events. It's a very nice looking loader, I got the smoke model. It runs off of 2 nine volt batteries(tends to get pretty pricey), and is sound activated. This loader also features Tilt Sensor Activation, which allows the motor to turn counter/clockwise depending on which way the loader is tilted. It is designed to always feed ball no matter whether you have your marker tilted to the side or not.
The good thing about this loader is that it's a cheap solution. If you don't have much money, it's a good bargain.
The thing I don't like about this loader is that it skips A LOT. It's not very consistent. I took a short video of me unloading a hopper on my SLG to give everyone an idea of how well this thing feeds:
Link to video
It may just be the sound activation, or the fact that it wasn't designed to feed that fast, but it just doesn't perform up to my expectations. It does a little bit better when you turn the cap down to around 12 BPS and only shoot in short bursts. It also helps if you are moving the hopper around instead of holding it still. Over all, I think I would have rather saved up a little bit more money and gotten something nicer. But, oh well. I guess you just live and learn.
All expectations aside, this loader DOES work well. It just doesn't feed as fast or as consistent as I would like. I would say 10-12BPS is about the max for this loader if you want to expect any kind of consistency. It will work really well for events that have hopper restrictions such as the SPPL, but in the long term I think I will invest in something nicer, that will be more consistent(even if I will never be able to legally use it to it's full potential at any field). I think more than anything the more expensive hoppers are worth it just for the consistent feed rate.

Keep in mind advertised feed rates for all loaders is going to be the PEAK feed rate, not what it can sustain :/
that's just how the industry works

How did the universe evolve?
If the Universe is expanding, it means that once it was much smaller than
it is now. Arno Panzias and Robert W. Wilson made an important discovery
in 1964, while working for Bell Laboratories. They were trying to understand
the source of background signals which interfered with radio communications.
(Arno Panzias is currently director of ATT Laboratories; Panzias and Wilson
shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for the work mentioned below). During
their work, they found that there was a constant background signal with
a wavelength of 7.35 cm. The intensity of this signal was uniform over
the entire sky.
They measured the "temperature" of this radiation which is supposed
to come from the beginning of the expansion of the universe. This electromagnetic
radiation (cosmic background radiation) has a spectrum
(or pattern of intensity as a function of wavelength) characteristic
of a "black-body" at the temperature of 2.73 K (degree Kelvin, i.e.
2.37 degrees from absolute zero; melting of ice is at 273 degrees in this
scale) or, equivalently, has a characteristic wavelength of 7.3 cm ( black-body
radiation is the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by a body of
Such measurement is consistent
with the theory of an expanding universe, since, as the universe expanded,
it cooled.
An objection can be raised. If the measured temperature of the universe
Another way to think about it is that at the beginning the universe was extremely dense and hot. As it expanded and cooled, it ceased to be in thermal equilibrium; now there are lumps of matter (stars, galaxies) which are much hotter; however, the signature radiation of the expansion still permeates the universe.
