U19s crash out of Far West Regionals in PKs
Far West Regionals 2013 | |
June 17-23 * Honolulu, Hawaii | |
. | |
A trip to Hawaii sounds like a lot of fun, but the Idaho Rush boys U19 team will have its work cut out for it when they travel to the islands for the 2013 Far West Regional championships. The regional tournament will be a last shot at glory for the boys, who reached the quarterfinals in 2011 and have lost a number of heartbreakers over the years at the tournament. The roster features a number of longtime Rush players, including Michael Soderlund (projected to be the starting GK for the national champion Indiana Hoosiers next year), Garrett Jones, Bryson Pavel, Graham Reid (all of whom are currently playing for the PDL North Sound SeaWolves) and Eli Szuch. In all, 10 players from last year's roster -- all of whom played in college last year -- are back for another run. The roster also features a number of new players, including Keenan dePinna, an Oregon State freshman, and three teammates from Seattle Pacific University. Regardless of where the players come from, they will face three very tough matches in the group stage of the tournament:
We will update this tournament web page as the tournament rolls along, adding scores and updating schedules when the boys gain the semifinals and finals, as needed. |

Far West Regionals daily roundup | |
. | |
Day 1 | |
Hot weather and injuries took their toll on the boys as they fought for a 1-1 draw with Sereno of Arizona. It was a good start for a team that suffered widespread cramping from the hot, humid Hawaii weather. "It felt like a win," said head coach Jens Haustein. "It was a great achievement by the guys." The boys also suffered a pair of injuries, which dropped the list of available players to just 13 after 50 minutes. Nate Hunt left with a knee problem and Andres Idoeta went down with a bad calf. Andres should be available for Tuesday's game while Nate is questionable. Weather conditions are expected to be about the same for today's game, with temperatures forecast for the low 80s and humidity at about 55 percent at kickoff. Sereno got on the board first with a messy goal from a corner kick. Two Rush players tried to clear a bouncing ball in the box before a Sereno player finally put a deflected shot in the goal for the 1-0 lead after 15 minutes. Rush almost got on the board a few minutes later when Garrett Jones had his back-post effort swept off the line by a Sereno defender with the goalkeeper already beat. The equalizer came 10 minutes later when Ian Adams beat three defenders on the dribble to gain the byline. He pulled the ball back to Bryson Pavel, who slotted the ball home from inside the 6-yard box to level the match. From there it was a war of attrition as multiple players limped around the field with cramps. NOTES:

The boys fell 1-0 to hometown side Honolulu Bulls on Tuesday, but an ideal result in the other match of the pool kept their hopes of advancing to the semifinals alive. In the other match, Pateadores and Sereno drew 1-1, leaving Pats on top of the table with four points, Bulls in second with three points, Sereno in third with two points, and Idaho Rush in fourth with one point. Sereno and Bulls play on Wednesday, which means Idaho Rush has a single route to advancing in their final game: Beat Pateadores. If they do that, they should finish no worse than a tie for second place with four points. But they would have the tie-breaker with Pateadores, meaning they would advance. Tuesday's game was one of missed opportunities, as Rush missed five clear scoring chances in the first half alone. Bulls even did their part by having a man sent off in the first half. But Rush still couldn't take advantage, and when Bulls scored on a counterattack with 30 minutes left to play, it was enough for the win. "In the second half we couldn't get anything going," said head coach Jens Haustein. "Basically, we lost the game in the first half. As long as you don't put the ball in the net, it's tough to win. You can't expect the other guys to put the ball in the net for you." |
. | |
Day 3 | |
The boys earned a remarkable win in their final group stage game on Wednesday, but they will have to wait until a shootout at high noon on Friday to learn whether the win will pay dividends. Because of an extraordinary set of scores, Rush ended in a three-way tie for first-place in their group, with all three teams on four points and all three teams even on goal differential. Honolulu Bulls advances as the group winner because they conceded fewer goals than Rush or Pateadores, but the remaining two teams will have to stage a penalty kick shootout Friday to determine which team will advance to the semifinals. Rush has every chance of winning the shootout with Micheal Soderlund between the pipes as goalkeeper. Soderlund is expected to be the starting GK for the defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers. The unusual circumstance was set up by a dramatic, come-from-behind win over Pateadores 2-1 on Wednesday. The two teams played an even, scoreless match through the first half before the fireworks started after the break. Pateadores took advantage of a defensive error in the back to stake themselves to a 1-0 lead after 60 minutes. Rush responded with a controversial goal just five minutes later when Bryson Pavel and the Pats goalkeeper collided on a cross served into the box. With the goalkeeper still sprawled on the ground, Eli Szuch slotted the ball home to level at 1-1. Pateadores argued the decision but the goal stood. Rush got the game-winner with 10 minutes on the clock when Pavel headed home a goal served from nearly the midfield line. It was a strong finish for a team that is playing with only 13 men in the heat and humidity. "The guys showed good character and played through it," said head coach Jens Haustein, whose team will benefit from a rest day on Thursday. "We're thinking about taking them for a hike," he joked. NOTES
. | |
Day 4 | |
The U19 boys won the battle but lost the war at Far West Regionals, beating Pateadores 2-1 in their 90-minute match, but losing 4-1 in a tie-breaking penalty kick shootout. The loss kept the boys from advancing to the semifinals and ended their run through the tournament. Pateadores connected on all four of the kicks they took, while Rush missed the opener, was good on the second, and missed the third. Pateadores went on to win the Far West Regional championship and advances to the national championship next month. |

The ASPCA launched our Emergency Boarding Facility to help keep families together after Sandy. Just a few days into the operation, the first animal has gone home!
Beautiful was housed in our boarding facility until her family could find a place to stay. And though we worked to make sure she was as comfortable as possible, we knew she really missed her family.
When Beautiful's people walked in the door to pick her up and take her home, she nearly exploded with excitement—and so did her people!
This sweet homecoming came just in time for Thanksgiving, and we hope it's just the first of many to come. Watch ASPCA.org for updates.
The ASPCA Emergency Boarding Facility has been up and running in Brooklyn since Saturday November 17! Our dedicated staff and volunteers are currently caring for about 150 animals and providing relief to Sandy victims who need temporary housing for their pets. Check out photos of the operation in our Facebook album.
This week, we received pets at locations near the hardest hit areas, including the Rockaways and Coney Island on Monday and Tuesday and Staten Island and Red Hook later in the week. The facility has also welcomed pets who were being housed at evacuation centers or a Sean Casey Animal Rescue facility, as well as animals dropped off directly by their families.
Made possible in part thanks to a $500,000 grant from Rachael Ray, this free service was created in response to the many pet parents who asked for a place to board animals until they found new homes. With the help of volunteers from the ASPCA Adoption Center, Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and elsewhere, we're aiming to give hundreds of families a chance to rebuild their lives without having to say goodbye to their beloved furry family members.
Watch this blog for updates.
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and would like to use our free boarding service, please read this post for details.
If you would like to donate to our Disaster Relief Fund, you can do so here.
Thank you for your compassion for animals affected by Sandy. As you know, thousands of families are still enduring the far-reaching effects of the storm, and the ASPCA is working around the clock to help. Here's how you can pitch in for Sandy pets.

For New Jersey residents who are willing to open their homes to pets in need, or those looking for temporary foster care, please visit Foster a Sandy Pet.
If you would like to volunteer with the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response team during our Sandy relief efforts, please email [email protected] with your availability and any special skills or qualifications.
Flyers play a big role in helping us get out the word about services we're offering. Right now the ASPCA is operating a temporary boarding facility for displaced pets. Download our flyer here [PDF] and put it up in areas affected by Sandy.
If you lost a pet during Sandy, please call 311 and see our flyer for shelter locations [PDF].
Spread the Word
Please follow the ASPCA on Facebook and Twitter. When we post information for families affected by Sandy, please share it with your social networks. On Twitter, remember to use the hashtag #sandypets to join the conversation about all things related to animals and the hurricane.
On Friday, we told you about the ASPCA Emergency Boarding Facility for pets of Sandy victims. (You can read all the details about the facility, which opened Saturday, here.)
People affected by Sandy who need a place to keep their pets are welcome to bring animals to the Emergency Boarding Facility, open seven days a week from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and located at 1508 Herkimer Street in Brooklyn. Starting Monday, pets can also be dropped off at a few other locations in the hardest-hit areas.

Belle Harbor, Queens:
Waldbaum's parking lot
112-15 Beach Channel Drive

- Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, driver's license)
All pets entrusted to the ASPCA at these locations will be taken to the Emergency Boarding Facility in central Brooklyn. For more information, please read this post or call the Hurricane Sandy pet hotline at (347) 573-1561.
Please share this information with your social networks, and stay tuned to the ASPCA blog for updates.
Many who lost their homes to Sandy have told us that they don't want to give up their pets, but that they have nowhere to keep them. In response, today the ASPCA is opening a 20,000 square-foot emergency boarding facility for hundreds of animals displaced by Superstorm Sandy.
Located in central Brooklyn, this emergency boarding service is offered to those who need a place to house their animals until they can get back on their feet. It will also provide shelter for pets of those in evacuation centers, as well as pets whose families are already boarding them at Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn.
This effort is greatly aided by a $500,000 grant from generous animal lover Rachael Ray, as well as the donations of our compassionate supporters.
The ASPCA is operating this facility in collaboration with Animal Care & Control of NYC, the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Veterinary Response Team, and the NYC Veterinary Emergency Response Team.
"We will continue our disaster relief work to help animal victims in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and hope that the emergency boarding facility will allow pet parents to focus on rebuilding their lives," says ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Senior Director Tim Rickey. "It will take time, but we will work as a community, and the ASPCA will continue to provide ongoing assistance, personnel and resources as long as we're needed."
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and needs to temporarily house an animal at our facility, please see the details below.
Where: Pet parents in need can bring their animals directly to the emergency boarding facility, located at 1508 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11233, as early as today. Map
When: Starting today, the facility will be open seven days a week from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., and will remain open for 30 days.
Standard of care: Veterinarians and specially trained staff will care for these pets and keep them healthy and happy, and pet parents will be welcome to visit.
What to bring: Pet parents are encouraged to bring the following, along with their pets, to the emergency boarding facility: one government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, military ID, or non-driver ID) and a proof of address (i.e. utility bill, driver's license). If possible, we encourage people to put ID tags on their pets and bring a carrier or crate, vaccination records, and medications or supplies for pets with special needs.

Bonded Stripe Knit Dress
Looks Amazing On
The dress is heavier than I expected, but the weight of it keeps it from riding. It feels great when you have it on. The fit hugs you in all the right places without being constricting. It allows you to breath, yet holds you in where you need it! I'm 5"7, 128lbs and ordered a small. I love this dress.
November 29, 2012
Boyfriend Approved!
I have been eye-ing this dress for weeks and finally went to the store twould be a better fito try it on. I ended up getting an AMAZING deal on it. I'm 5'3'', 113lbs and purchased it in the Small. Boyfriend wouldn't let me walk out of the store without him buying it. I'm a sucker for an exposed zipper and/or pockets on a dress.
November 25, 2012
This dress is beautiful!
Looks very plain on the hanger. I am 5'3 110 either wear an XS or XXS. XS fit me perfectly smooth lines and good curves. Looks much better on than on the hanger.
November 24, 2012
I?m 5?4? 120 lbs 34D and generally wear a bebe XS or S depending on the style (and the occasion). The small was a perfect fit. This dress is very flattering ? shows your curves, but is still slimming. I generally stay away from the bebe dresses with zippers because they often bunch up in a strange way, but this dress doesn?t at all. It is gorgeous on!
November 10, 2012
make my body look amazing
This dress looks so simple in the picture; but once you put it on WOW it looks amazig and makes your curves look to die for.

There are many reasons I do not like Cincinnati. One of the things is that I always forget about them, when I'm trying to list all the teams. I also (embarrassing confession here) confused them with the Twins for more years than I care to remember.
The foremost reason, though? Their weekend sweep of the Gigantes, culminating in a dismal 9-0 victory in which someone actually struggled as much as Zito did. I mean, not one person. The whole offense. It was a game that made you wonder why on earth Sabean thought Beltran was enough. Kind of, Why not Pujols and A-Rod and Reyes and Braun and Ethier while you're at it? feeling.
Maybe it didn't make you wonder that. But trades have infected just about every moment of my awake time and I have started to dream about them at a startling rate as well. The upshot of all of this end-of-July craziness is that my quintessential Rockie, Ubaldo, is in Cleveland and my quintessential Dodger, Rafael Furcal, is in St. Louis. And that the Giants- other than Zito and our offense saviors 0'fers since being traded- are in a nice spot. Sure, this upcoming series against Arizona is scaring my hair into being curly again, but the fact is the Giants took one of the premiere hitters off the trade market and are legitimately poised to defend that- ahem, is this a total jinx?- championship. Same on the Rangers side, actually. Their brilliant bullpen bolstering will make them a real serious force to be reckoned with, I think. I'm happy with how this trade deadline has played out.
Weirdness? Tomorrow is August. Dog Days.
This season is going by in a heartbeat. I know Sabean better than to think this is the team we're going to have down the stretch but… who knows. This could be the team we're going to have down the stretch. I better settle into spelling Keppinger's name.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

There's no consensus on this, but there's good reason to be cautious when it comes to drinking coffee and other sources of caffeine.
A study published in the March 2008 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that women who consumed 200 milligrams (mg) or more of caffeine a day had double the risk of miscarriage of women who had no caffeine.
The March of Dimes advises pregnant women to limit their caffeine intake to less than 200 mg daily, about the amount of one to two 8-ounce cups of coffee, depending on the brew. (Other foods – including chocolate and soda – also contain caffeine.)
Consuming caffeine during pregnancy has been shown to have other risks, too.
Studies have found that women who drink a lot of coffee (eight cups or more a day) have double the risk of stillbirth, for example. And those who drink three cups of coffee a day are more likely to have a son born with undescended testicles, which means that the testicles ("testes" is the medical term) haven't moved into the scrotum from the pelvis as they normally do in late pregnancy.
Babies of women who consumed more than 500 mg of caffeine a day had faster breathing and heart rates and were more wakeful in the first few days after birth.

Each lung is made up of 2 or 3 sections called lobes. A lobectomy is the surgical removal of one of these sections from the lung.
A lobectomy is used to treat a variety of lung conditions, such as

Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
General anesthesia will be given. You will be asleep. A tube will be placed in your windpipe to help you breathe.
A lobectomy may be done in one of two ways:
If you are having a lobectomy to remove cancer, the doctor will also remove lymph glands in your chest. The glands will be tested for any sign of cancer.
After completing the procedure, your doctor will place tubes in your chest. They will help drain the chest cavity. The incision(s) will be closed with stitches or staples.
You will be taken to a recovery room. You will be given fluids and medications through an IV.
The procedure takes about 1-4 hours.
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You will be asked to cough and walk often. You may be given an incentive spirometer. This is a breathing exercise device that will encourage you to take deep breaths. The chest tube will be removed before you go home.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:

First question from Stewart to Dickey: "How will the New York Mets screw this up?"
I watched it. When Dickey mentioned Sandy, he seemed sad. I think Dickey knows he's going to be traded.
If they don't get the haul they want i am sure they will re-sign Dickey.
They can't take anything less than a Myers package (or Starling, Odirizzi + package), a package around Olt and Martin, or a package around D'Arnaud and Syndegaard and justify dealing Dickey to us fans.
Heck even some fans wouldn't like those deals either.
Last edited by metswon69; 12-05-2012 at 04:00 AM.
I don't want to deal him for the sake of dealing him though, so if the package of players does not come to fruition, then re-sign him because he's ****ing nice.
Can't believe the Bishop missed this! Thanks for posting!

"Mr. Martin Tanner, Baritone, of Dayton, Ohio made his Town Hall debut last night. He came well prepared, but unfortunately his presentation was not up to contemporary professional standards. His voice lacks the range of tonal color necessary to make it consistently interesting. Full time consideration of another endeavor might be in order."

I was thinking about it last night. I would love to have Meyers or Olt on the Mets. But not having Dickey on the Mets is going to really hurt.

Yes, anyone can play outfield as long as you aren't slow as **** like Duda or stupid like Murphy.
Yeah Olt can.

It's been over a week now, I am ready to blog about the life changing event that occurred in our family on Friday, March 9, 2012.

Yesterday brought a day full of rain to most of the state. We have lots of standing water around our place. Fortunately, this posed a great opportunity to snap a few pics of nature this evening. There were 4 beautiful geese honking at a couple of dogs that were getting a bit too close to them across from my house. When I saw them I grabbed my zoom lens and headed out to see if I could get a good shot. Since it was dusk, I couldn't get a very good shot of them.
The Geese liked all of the rain!! |
Stunning Sky! |

It is getting close to my favorite time of the year. I LOVE spring! Although generally I suffer through the first few weeks when things begin to bloom, I love the thought of renewal of all things! Spring weather is beautiful, minus the tornadoes that often spring up around here during Springtime.
Another one of my favorite parts of Spring is Rhea Lana!! If you don't know about Rhea Lana and you spend ANYTHING on kids clothing, or will in the near future, you are going to want to read this post! Rhea Lana's as we know it today began modestly in 1997 with 11 consignors and 3 racks of clothes in the living room of Mrs. Rhea Lana Riner. She wrote all the tags by hand and even rewashed and ironed many of the clothes! In 2011, they had 47 locations in 16 states. Now being a consignor is so easy. Everything is computerized. As a consignor you choose your prices!!
We've all organized yard sales. They are a quick way to put our belongings out in the yard and let the neighbors pilfer through them and offer dirt cheap prices for name brand clothing that cost us a lot of hard earned money! In the end, we might make a dollar or two, but it is also a lot of work, and then if things don't sell we're left trying to bag it all up and take it to a local charity. If you've found yourself in this situation, then may I suggest Rhea Lana's as an alternative?
Now let me tell you first off, it is a bit of work getting all of your things on hangers and putting string tags on them. There will also be some items that you won't be able to consign. They won't take anything that is out of date, stained, torn, missing zippers, etc. But, those things you can feel okay about selling for a quarter in your yard sale, right? The name brand, like new clothes are consignor worthy. Those are the things that you want to get back a portion of what you paid for it in order to buy new clothes for your kiddos that have outgrown last spring's clothes!!!

This week leading up to Valentine's Day I am going to show you how crafty my family has decided to be this week with our Valentine's Day projects for school! Today we are going to start with Shelby's Valentine's Day box. She is super excited about this one as it can be used in the future for jewelry, etc.
My 3rd grader had to create a collection box for her Valentines from her classmates. She was very excited to come up with a "design" she liked. We had a hard time finding a box that was appropriate for such a task! We have a lot of shoe boxes that don't have removable lids. I dug in the bottom of my closet and finally found one. While a bit large, it will serve it's purpose, and as mentioned above can be used after the party for whatever she chooses in her bedroom.
Ready to bling this box out!! |
Shelby is very proud of her design. It fits her personality to perfection. |

Visit IRAN ITF
Thursdays 5th of September was a wonderful summer day in the beautiful historical Persian city of Shiraz.
Omid Hassanipour from National Taekwon-Do Norway had the pleasure to visit Mr.Habib Khoshniyat and his organization IRAN Pars ITF.
Pars ITF is a part of IRAN ITF by President Hamid Mohtashami.
The visit lasted for 2 days.
The first day contained several hours of Taekwon-Do training with thorough review of ITF forms.
ITF Taekwon-Do in IRAN is in a progressive growing phase and the organization has several highly qualified potential talents.
The second day we were visiting the Old Persian civilization.
Persepolis is the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550–330 BC).
We also visited the tomb of empire Cyrus the Great (ca.600 - 529 BC), the first world empire in Persia.
Thanks a lot to Mr.Khoshniyat and his organization for the friendliness and warm hospitality.
Omid Hassanipour, 5.Dan

On July 11, 2011, a wind storm caused significant damage to trees on the Dudgeon Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA), north of Vinton. Recently, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources awarded a contract to the Brislawn Logging Company to complete a salvage harvest on approximately 500 acres of this wildlife management area.
Scattered dead or topped dead trees on a WMA unit like this are beneficial to a variety of wildlife, but the damage on this property is so devastating and significant that a salvage harvest to eliminate some of the debris would be very beneficial to a variety of wildlife species and recreational users that utilize this property. A salvage harvest will also create new openings where efforts can be made to re-establish portions of the forest cover that has been destroyed.
The goal of the harvest will be to remove the majority of merchantable (saleable) trees lying on the ground and/or trees that have any portion of the root ball exposed. Also, any merchantable trees standing with significant top damage have been marked individually for removal. A significant number of snag trees (dead or topped) will be left un-harvested and scattered throughout the two harvest units.
To protect the site and specific wildlife species harvest activities will only be permitted during the period of October 12, 2012 through March 25, 2013 and October 1, 2013 through March 25, 2014.
For information on the harvest, contact Tim Thompson, Dudgeon Lake Wildlife Management Area, Wildlife Bureau, 51 Escort Lane, Iowa City, IA 52240, 319-330-7013, email@example.com.

Media take overs = presidential wins
I've decided that the best way to insure that America elects a conservative president is for those conservatives with wealth to buy the main stream media. Seems to me that is the only way that the true message of conservatives will have a chance to get out to the masses.
What do you think?

The game of paintball has been around for many years now and has steadily grown in popularity. People love going to the field whether its to play in the woods in whats known as woodsball, or playing around inflatable bunkers known as speedsball. Both play styles call for different paintball markers so today we will be showing you one of the best beginner markers for each play style. These paintball gun reviews aren't necessarily of the best paintball guns but rather what I find to be the best because of many factors such as quality and reliability.
Best Paintball Gun Reviews for Beginners
Any of the markers that I review today I have personally used in the past for many hours in order for me to give a proper review. I would recommend these guns for people in the beginner-intermediate stage and not so much professionals. The reason being is I don't see many paintball pros going to a website to find out what's best, while beginners are more likely too.
US Army Alpha Black Tactical Paintball Marker
If you're interested in playing woodsball or scenario and just want a marker that will do the job then this is it. Tippmann designed the Alpha Black for the Army to train with paintball markers, but it also makes for a perfect gun for the beginner player. The m-16 look gives the marker a milsim feel which a lot of people love since it makes the game feel more realistic. If you look around you can find the Tippmann Alpha Black included in a set with a c02 air tank, goggles, and everything else you need to play the game. This is great for the average player who want see a ton of field time but still loves the game. If you're looking to play a lot I would personally recommend the Tippmann A-5 for the fact it has a cyclone feed which will allow you to shoot as fast as you can without the paintballs getting stuck in the feed.
Dye Proto Rail
If you're looking to play speedsball then I would highly recommend the Dye Proto Rail. This marker has received amazing paintball gun reviews over the years and for good reason. If you have ever played with the Proto Rail one of the first things you will notice is how comfortable the marker is. With a max rate of fire of 15 bps you will definitely be able to hang in there on the speedsball field. One of my favorite features of this gun is the Ultralite aluminum trigger, this along with ergonomic Ultralite frame makes the gun so comfortable to shoot. Just the overall quality and feel of the Proto Rail makes it stand above the rest for the price range. You could also look into the Smart Parts Ion for even a cheaper price but I have noticed more problems with the Ion then the Proto Rail which is why I called this the best.
I would always recommend to look around more and read other paintball gun reviews before making a purchase, while these are my two favorite for beginners you might have different needs when it comes to your marker. Most importantly just remember to have fun and enjoy the wonderfull game of paintball!

The burning at Taberah. (1-3) The people lust for flesh, and loathe the manna. (4-9) Moses complains of his charge. (10-15) Elders appointed to divide the charge. Flesh meat promised. (16-23) The Spirit rests on the elders. (24-30) Quails are given. (31-35)
Verses 1-3 Here is the people's sin; they complained. See the sinfulness of sin, which takes occasion from the commandment to be provoking. The weakness of the law discovered sin, but could not destroy it; checked, but could not conquer it. They complained. Those who are of a discontented spirit, will always find something to quarrel or fret about, though the circumstances of their outward condition be ever so favourable. The Lord heard it, though Moses did not. God knows the secret frettings and murmurings of the heart, though concealed from men. What he noticed, he was much displeased with, and he chastised them for this sin. The fire of their wrath against God burned in their minds; justly did the fire of God's wrath fasten on their bodies; but God's judgments came on them gradually, that they might take warning. It appeared that God delights not in punishing; when he begins, he is soon prevailed with to let it fall.
Verses 4-9 Man, having forsaken his proper rest, feels uneasy and wretched, though prosperous. They were weary of the provision God had made for them, although wholesome food and nourishing. It cost no money or care, and the labour of gathering it was very little indeed; yet they talked of Egypt's cheapness, and the fish they ate there freely; as if that cost them nothing, when they paid dearly for it with hard service! While they lived on manna, they seemed exempt from the curse sin has brought on man, that in the sweat of his face he should eat bread; yet they speak of it with scorn. Peevish, discontented minds will find fault with that which has no fault in it, but that it is too good for them. Those who might be happy, often make themselves miserable by discontent. They could not be satisfied unless they had flesh to eat. It is evidence of the dominion of the carnal mind, when we want to have the delights and satisfaction of sense. We should not indulge in any desire which we cannot in faith turn into prayer, as we cannot when we ask meat for our lust. What is lawful of itself becomes evil, when God does not allot it to us, yet we desire it.
Verses 10-15 The provocation was very great; yet Moses expressed himself otherwise than became him. He undervalued the honour God had put upon him. He magnified his own performances, while he had the Divine wisdom to direct him, and Almighty power to dispense rewards and punishments. He speaks distrustfully of the Divine grace. Had the work been much less he could not have gone through it in his own strength; but had it been much greater, through God strengthening him, he might have done it. Let us pray, Lord, lead us not into temptation.
Verses 16-23 Moses is to choose such as he knew to be elders, that is, wise and experienced men. God promises to qualify them. If they were not found fit for the employ, they should be made fit. Even the discontented people shall be gratified too, that every mouth may be stopped. See here, I. The vanity of all the delights of sense; they will cloy, but they will not satisfy. Spiritual pleasures alone will satisfy and last. As the world passes away, so do the lusts of it. 2. What brutish sins gluttony and drunkenness are! they make that to hurt the body which should be its health. Moses objects. Even true and great believers sometimes find it hard to trust God under the discouragements of second causes, and against hope to believe in hope. God here brings Moses to this point, The Lord God is Almighty; and puts the proof upon the issue, Thou shalt see whether my word shall come to pass or not. If he speaks, it is done.
Verses 24-30 We have here the fulfilment of God's word to Moses, that he should have help in the government of Israel. He gave of his Spirit to the seventy elders. They discoursed to the people of the things of God, so that all who heard them might say, that God was with them of a truth. Two of the elders, Eldad and Medad, went not out unto the tabernacle, as the rest, being sensible of their own weakness and unworthiness. But the Spirit of God found them in the camp, and there they exercised their gift of praying, preaching, and praising God; they spake as moved by the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of God is not confined to the tabernacle, but, like the wind, blows where He listeth. And they that humble themselves shall be exalted; and those who are most fit for government, are least ambitious of it. Joshua does not desire that they should be punished, but only restrained for the future. This motion he made out of zeal for what he thought to be the unity of the church. He would have them silenced, lest they should occasion a schism, or should rival Moses; but Moses was not afraid of any such effects from that Spirit which God had put upon them. Shall we reject those whom Christ has owned, or restrain any from doing good, because they are not in every thing of our mind? Moses wishes all the Lord's people were prophets, that he would put his Spirit upon all of them. Let the testimony of Moses be believed by those who desire to be in power; that government is a burden. It is a burden of care and trouble to those who make conscience of the duty of it; and to those who do not, it will prove a heavier burden in the day of account. Let the example of Moses be followed by those in power; let them not despise the advice and assistance of others, but desire it, and be thankful for it. If all the present number of the Lord's people were rendered prophets, or ministers, by the Spirit of Christ, though not all agreed in outward matters, there is work enough for all, in calling sinners to repentance, and faith in our Lord Jesus.
Verses 31-35 God performed his promise to the people, in giving them flesh. How much more diligent men are in collecting the meat that perishes, than in labouring for meat which endures to everlasting life! We are quick-sighted in the affairs of time; but stupidity blinds us as to the concerns of eternity. To pursue worldly advantages, we need no arguments; but when we are to secure the true riches, then we are all forgetfulness. Those who are under the power of a carnal mind, will have their lusts fulfilled, though it be to the certain damage and ruin of their precious souls. They paid dearly for their feasts. God often grants the desires of sinners in wrath, while he denies the desires of his own people in love. What we unduly desire, if we obtain it, we have reason to fear, will be some way or other a grief and cross to us. And what multitudes there are in all places, who shorten their lives by excess of one kind or other! Let us seek for those pleasures which satisfy, but never surfeit; and which will endure for evermore.
Numbers 11:1-35 . MANNA LOATHED.
1. When the people complained it displeased the Lord, &c.--Unaccustomed to the fatigues of travel and wandering into the depths of a desert, less mountainous but far more gloomy and desolate than that of Sinai, without any near prospect of the rich country that had been promised, they fell into a state of vehement discontent, which was vented at these irksome and fruitless journeyings. The displeasure of God was manifested against the ungrateful complainers by fire sent in an extraordinary manner. It is worthy of notice, however, that the discontent seems to have been confined to the extremities of the camp, where, in all likelihood, "the mixed multitude" had their station. At the intercession of Moses, the appalling judgment ceased ( Numbers 11:2 ), and the name given to the place, Taberah, remained ever after a monument of national sin
4. the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting--These consisted of Egyptians. To dream of banquets and plenty of animal food in the desert becomes a disease of the imagination; and to this excitement of the appetite no people are more liable than the natives of Egypt. But the Israelites participated in the same feelings and expressed dissatisfaction with the manna on which they had hitherto been supported, in comparison with the vegetable luxuries with which they had been regaled in Egypt.
5. We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt The people of Egypt are accustomed to an almost exclusive diet of fish, either fresh or sun-dried, during the hot season in April and May--the very season when the Israelites were travelling in this desert. Lower Egypt, where were the brick-kilns in which they were employed, afforded great facilities for obtaining fish in the Mediterranean, the lakes, and the canals of the Nile.
cucumbers--The Egyptian species is smooth, of a cylindrical form, and about a foot in length. It is highly esteemed by the natives and when in season is liberally partaken of, being greatly mellowed by the influence of the sun.
melons--The watermelons are meant, which grow on the deep, loamy soil after the subsidence of the Nile; and as they afford a juicy and cooling fruit, all classes make use of them for food, drink, and medicine.
leeks--by some said to be a species of grass cresses, which is much relished as a kind of seasoning.
onions--the same as ours; but instead of being nauseous and affecting the eyes, they are sweet to the taste, good for the stomach, and form to a large extent the aliment of the laboring classes.
garlic--is now nearly if not altogether extinct in Egypt although it seems to have grown anciently in great abundance. The herbs now mentioned form a diet very grateful in warm countries where vegetables and other fruits of the season are much used. We can scarcely wonder that both the Egyptian hangers-on and the general body of the Israelites, incited by their clamors, complained bitterly of the want of the refreshing viands in their toilsome wanderings. But after all their experience of the bounty and care of God, their vehement longing for the luxuries of Egypt was an impeachment of the divine arrangements; and if it was the sin that beset them in the desert, it became them more strenuously to repress a rebellious spirit, as dishonoring to God and unbecoming their relation to Him as a chosen people.
6-9. But now . . . there is nothing . . . beside this manna--Daily familiarity had disgusted them with the sight and taste of the monotonous food; and, ungrateful for the heavenly gift, they longed for a change of fare. It may be noticed that the resemblance of the manna to coriander seed was not in the color, but in the size and figure; and from its comparison to bdellium, which is either a drop of white gum or a white pearl, we are enabled to form a better idea of it. Moreover, it is evident, from the process of baking into cakes, that it could not have been the natural manna of the Arabian desert, for that is too gummy or unctuous to admit of being ground into meal. In taste it is said to have been like "wafers made with honey" ( Exodus 16:31 ), and here to have the taste of fresh oil. The discrepancy in these statements is only apparent; for in the latter the manna is described in its raw state; in the former, after it was ground and baked. The minute description given here of its nature and use was designed to show the great sinfulness of the people, in being dissatisfied with such excellent food, furnished so plentifully and gratuitously.
10-15. Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant, &c.--It is impossible not to sympathize with his feelings although the tone and language of his remonstrances to God cannot be justified. He was in a most distressing situation--having a mighty multitude under his care, with no means of satisfying their clamorous demands. Their conduct shows how deeply they had been debased and demoralized by long oppression: while his reveals a state of mind agonized and almost overwhelmed by a sense of the undivided responsibilities of his office.
16, 17. the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders--( Exodus 3:16 , 5:6 , 24:9 , Exodus 18:21 Exodus 18:24 , Leviticus 4:15 ). An order of seventy was to be created, either by a selection from the existing staff of elders or by the appointment of new ones, empowered to assist him by their collective wisdom and experience in the onerous cares of government. The Jewish writers say that this was the origin of the Sanhedrin, or supreme appellate court of their nation. But there is every reason to believe that it was only a temporary expedient, adopted to meet a trying exigency.
17. I will come down--that is, not in a visible manner or by local descent, but by the tokens of the divine presence and operations.
and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee--"The spirit" means the gifts and influences of the Spirit ( Numbers 27:18 , Joel 2:28 , John 7:39 , 1 Corinthians 14:12 ), and by "taking the spirit of Moses, and putting it upon them," is not to be understood that the qualities of the great leader were to be in any degree impaired but that the elders would be endowed with a portion of the same gifts, especially of prophecy ( Numbers 11:25 )--that is, an extraordinary penetration in discovering hidden and settling difficult things.
18-20. say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh--that is, "prepare yourselves," by repentance and submission, to receive to-morrow the flesh you clamor for. But it is evident that the tenor of the language implied a severe rebuke and that the blessing promised would prove a curse.
21-23. Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand . . . Shall the flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them?--The great leader, struck with a promise so astonishing as that of suddenly furnishing, in the midst of the desert, more than two millions of people with flesh for a whole month, betrayed an incredulous spirit, surprising in one who had witnessed so many stupendous miracles. But it is probable that it was only a feeling of the moment--at all events, the incredulous doubt was uttered only to himself--and not, as afterwards, publicly and to the scandal of the It was, therefore, sharply reproved, but not punished.
24. Moses . . . gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people--The tabernacle was chosen for the convocation, because, as it was there God manifested Himself, there His Spirit would be directly imparted--there the minds of the elders themselves would be inspired with reverential awe and their office invested with greater respect in the eyes of the people.
25. when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease--As those elders were constituted civil governors, their "prophesying" must be understood as meaning the performance of their civil and sacred duties by the help of those extraordinary endowments they had received; and by their not "ceasing" we understand, either that they continued to exercise their gifts uninterruptedly the first day (see 1 Samuel 19:24 ), or that these were permanent gifts, which qualified them in an eminent degree for discharging the duty of public magistrates.
26-29. But there remained two of the men in the camp--They did not repair with the rest to the tabernacle, either from modesty in shrinking from the assumption of a public office, or being prevented by some ceremonial defilement. They, however, received the gifts of the Spirit as well as their brethren. And when Moses was urged to forbid their prophesying, his answer displayed a noble disinterestedness as well as zeal for the glory of God akin to that of our Lord ( Mark 9:39 ).
31-35. There went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, &c.--These migratory birds on their journey from Egypt, when "the wind from the Lord," an east wind ( Psalms 78:26 ) forcing them to change their course, wafted them over the Red Sea to the camp of Israel.
let them fall a day's journey--If the journey of an individual is meant, this space might be thirty miles; if the inspired historian referred to the whole host, ten miles would be as far as they could march in one day in the sandy desert under a vertical sun. Assuming it to be twenty miles this immense cloud of quails ( Exodus 16:13 ) covered a space of forty miles in diameter. Others reduce it to sixteen. But it is doubtful whether the measurement be from the center or the extremities of the camp. It is evident, however, that the language describes the countless number of these quails.
as it were two cubits high--Some have supposed that they fell on the ground above each other to that height--a supposition which would leave a vast quantity useless as food to the Israelites, who were forbidden to eat any animal that died of itself or from which the blood was not poured out. Others think that, being exhausted with a long flight, they could not fly more than three feet above the earth, and so were easily felled or caught. A more recent explanation applies the phrase, "two cubits high," not to the accumulation of the mass, but to the size of the individual birds. Flocks of large red-legged cranes, three feet high, measuring seven feet from tip to tip, have been frequently seen on the western shores of the Gulf of Akaba, or eastern arm of the Red Sea [STANLEY; SHUBERT].
32. people stood up--rose up in eager haste--some at one time, others at another; some, perhaps through avidity, both day and night.
ten homers--ten asses' loads; or, "homers" may be used indefinitely (as in Exodus 8:14 , Judges 15:16 ); and "ten" for many: so that the phrase "ten homers" is equivalent to "great heaps." The collectors were probably one or two from each family; and, being distrustful of God's goodness, they gathered not for immediate consumption only, but for future use. In eastern and southern seas, innumerable quails are often seen, which, when weary, fall down, covering every spot on the deck and rigging of vessels; and in Egypt they come in such myriads that the people knock them down with sticks.
spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp--salted and dried them for future use, by the simple process to which they had been accustomed in Egypt.
33. while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed--literally, "cut off"; that is, before the supply of quails, which lasted a month ( Numbers 11:20 ), was exhausted. The probability is, that their stomachs, having been long inured to manna (a light food), were not prepared for so sudden a change of regimen--a heavy, solid diet of animal food, of which they seem to have partaken to so intemperate a degree as to produce a general surfeit, and fatal consequences. On a former occasion their murmurings for flesh were raised ( Exodus 16:1-8 ) because they were in want of food. Here they proceeded, not from necessity, but wanton, lustful desire; and their sin, in the righteous judgment of God, was made to carry its own punishment.
