The East Valley will figure prominently in Mitt Romney's next national push to round up volunteers and donations for his presidential campaign.
Romney's campaign is staging a twopart event called "Sign Up America" next week.
The first component features 500 house parties nationwide where Romney supporters will watch the second Republican presidential debate Tuesday evening. Twenty-five house parties have been lined up in the East Valley and throughout Arizona, said campaign spokeswoman Gail Gitcho.
"The concept is to get these supporters to open their homes up to their friends, family, neighbors and associates to come in and watch the debate and, in the process, sign them up to either be a contributor or a volunteer," she said.
The second component of "Sign Up America" features 50 call centers where volunteers will telephone friends and associates to solicit donations for the campaign on Wednesday. Four call centers have been lined up in the East Valley, with three others elsewhere in the state, said Jason Rose, Romney's Arizona campaign manager.
The East Valley call center locations are:
• The law offices of Beus Gilbert, 4800 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 6000, in Scottsdale.
• The law offices of Jackson White, 40 N. Center St., Suite 200, in Mesa.
• The real estate investment offices of John Perkinson, 1733 N. Greenfield Road, Suite 103, in Mesa.
• 3791 E. Parkview Drive, in Gilbert.
The other Arizona call centers will be in Surprise, Litchfield Park and Tucson.
The call centers will be operational for 12 hours and manned by volunteers in three four-hour shifts.
The national goal is to enlist 24,000 new volunteers and contributors during the 24-hour period, Gitcho said.
The concept is a spin-off from a Boston-based national call day that raised $6 million for the Romney campaign during the first quarter of the year.
Arizonans already have been generous toward Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.
During the first quarter of the year, Arizonans contributed nearly $660,000 to his presidential campaign. Nationally, he collected $21 million.
By comparison, Arizona residents donated $1.3 million to rival Republican presidential candidate John McCain during the same period. Nationally, the Arizona senator raised $13.7 million during the first quarter.
More information about Romney's "Sign Up America" functions are available at www.mittromney.com and (800) 946-6488.

During the summer the month of July was unusually hot 95 plus degrees without rain. My plant had been re-potted in a medium soil with good drainage and topped with basic fertilizer. In the beginning it was doing fantastic adding new growth, flower buds etc and then a very rainy August hit.
Suddenly my Jasmine developed yellow leaves with black spots looking very much like a canker disease and now there is rust on the undersides of the leaves. I brought the plant inside, it's dropped so much of it's foliage and I've let it dry somewhat. I've been searching the web and to no avail not a whole lot of info on this type of problem due to most Jasmines being so hardy and resistant to diseases. I would appreciate any help on this before I go and pitch the plant I'd like to see if I can bring it back to life. Thanks to this forum I'm sure someone out there can give me some advice! |

Extracting the tarball of glibc might not be sufficient if you have the other (the broken one) still on your filesystem cause portage thinks you're still using it. It would be a good idea to extract the tarball to have a working system and then reextracting it but trough portage (i think it is emerge -k glibc if i remember but check man emerge cause i'm not sure). I think the source of this problem is that env-update (which is invoked after every package merging) create symlinks pointing to your broken glibc. Nicolas -- email@example.com mailing list

Although Putin would not elaborate, experts believe that the sale involves T-72 and T-90 tanks, which would replace the French MX-30 tanks and which have already been purchased by some 30 countries, including Iran and Syria
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced that he will soon provide 35 tanks to Venezuela, after his meeting with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, to whom he vowed to sell other weapons.
"Russia fully complies with the bilateral agreements in the field of military-technical cooperation. Shortly, Russia plans to provide a new batch of weapons. They are 35 tanks," said Putin at a joint press conference with Chávez at his residence Novo-Ogoriovo, outside Moscow.
Although Putin would not elaborate, experts believe that the sale involves T-72 and T-90 tanks, which would replace the French MX-30 tanks and which have already been purchased by some 30 countries, including Iran and Syria.
"We are willing to supply tanks and, with respect to other types of weapons, we will do it broadly. Russian companies have started to work according to their orders," he said.
For his part, Chávez emphasized that "the issue of military cooperation, for which we are under attack, is going very well."
"Now, we do have an armed force," said Chávez, who mentioned some of the purchases of Russian weapons by Caracas in recent years, including tanks, Sukhoi fighters, which he described as "the best aircraft in the world," and Kalashnikov rifles.
Earlier on Friday, Russian President Dmitri Medvedev said that Moscow will not reduce military-technical cooperation with Caracas, after his meeting with Chávez at the Kremlin.
"In this field, we have not slowed down, not even now," Medvedev said at a joint press conference with Chávez in the Malachite Room of the Kremlin.
On Chávez's previous visit to Russia, in September 2009, Medvedev promised that Moscow would supply the weapons Venezuela needed, including tanks and armored cars.
Last April, during his visit to Venezuela, Putin said that Venezuela planned to buy Russian arms worth over USD 5 billion.
That figure includes a USD 2-billion loan Moscow will grant to Caracas for the acquisition of heavy weapons.
Venezuela, which according to Venezuelan sources has bought Russian weapons worth USD 4.4 billion since 2005, has emerged as a major Latin American customer of the Russian military industry, which has ignited concerns in the US and Colombia.
The Russian press has reported that Venezuela is interested in diesel-electric submarines of the class "Varshavianka" (Kilo, according to the NATO classification).
Military experts quoted by the RIA-Novosti news agency said on Friday that Caracas would receive the S-300 antiaircraft missile system that Moscow decided not to supply to Iran because of the sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council.
According to these sources, Russia has provided to Venezuela a dozen Tor-M1 air defense systems, the same ones Tehran acquired in late 2005.
Chavez's visit to Russia is part of a foreign tour for almost two weeks that will also take him on October 16 to Belarus, and then to Ukraine, Iran, Syria, Libya, Algeria and Portugal.
Non-stop extraction of mineral riches
Oil and gas; gold and diamonds; coltan, coal, iron, bauxite, copper: the Venezuelan economy is extractive, as it relies on taking mineral substances from the earth for sale or trade.

If you need a reason not to give up on the Kentucky basketball season after UK's loss at Arkansas Saturday, let John Calipari explain why it's still not impossible for his team to make the NCAA Tournament despite big road losses at Tennessee and Arkansas after the season-ending injury to Nerlens Noel.
"We're brand new. So we're still trying to figure out (without Noel). There are other teams – you've got a lot of teams getting beat right now, and they're mostly road games. Some getting beat at home. Some on three-game slides, four-game slides. You've got that across the country, but we're so new we're still trying to figure out what's the best way for us to play," said Calipari after Saturday's loss.
"What do we do defensively? We went a little zone today. We broke down at one point. We didn't really communicate. But we're still there."
Now here's the part to give you hope for Thursday's game at Georgia and Saturday's home game with Florida.
"Again, we've got a 7-footer (Willie Cauley-Stein) that can play and block shots. We've got shooters (Julius Mays and Kyle Wiltjer). We've got enough players and enough athletes to do this – and really make a run – if we choose to. But you must fight. You must have a will to win," Calipari said.
"And winning must be important, not just how you played. And you must want to be coached and challenged and pushed, from not only the staff; from within. You've got to accept that. That's part of this. This team, we could go the next game and play out of our minds – and I'll be really happy."

Baseball: Southland Vikings take 1-0 lead in MCL championship series
By Steve Gorches Sun-Times Media August 3, 2013 11:08PM
The Southland Vikings' Dan Potempa crosses the plate as Oilmen catcher Ty Hogan bobbles the throw. | John Booz~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: October 3, 2013 2:41AM
WHITING, Ind. — History is not on the side of the Northwest Indiana Oilmen.
In the four years of the Midwest Collegiate League (it was called the Great Plains League in its first season), the winner of the first game of a best-of-3 playoff series has always won.
The Oilmen were the beneficiaries of that stat last season by winning both of their series two games to none on their way to the title in their first year of existence.
But after NWI won its first series of this year's MCL playoffs 2-0 over Lexington, the Oilmen couldn't come through with men on base on Saturday night in Game 1 of the MCL championship series in a 7-2 loss to the Southland Vikings.
Hanover Central graduate Andy Wellwerts just didn't have it on the mound as the Oilmen starting pitcher gave up five runs on seven hits and four walks.
"The first couple of batters I thought he threw it well, but his breaking ball wasn't quite there," Oilmen manager Justin Huisman said.
All seven of Southland's runs came with two outs. The Vikings started things in the first inning when Chris Sujka, who was on the Indiana University squad that reached the College World Series earlier this summer, had a two-out single and scored on a base hit by Dan Potempa.
The Vikings broke open the game in the fourth when Clark High School graduate Micah Rooke — playing just a mile from his old stomping grounds on 119th Street — had a two-out, two-run single. That was followed by a walk to Sujka, who graduated from Mount Carmel, and a fly ball that was dropped by Oilmen right fielder Craig Austgen.
"Those two-out runs are so key in baseball," Southland manager Chris Cunningham said. "We knew (Lake Central High grad Jimmy) McNamara was pitching (in Game 2) so we wanted to get a good start."
Besides the three unearned runs in the fourth inning, an error in the eighth led to two more Southland runs.
"So many things can cost you in a game, but two big errors cost us five runs and that was the difference in the ball game," Huisman said.
Southland pitcher Brandon White also had to work his way out of plenty of trouble. The Oilmen never had a 1-2-3 inning, but were only able to score once off White in eight innings.
"He didn't want to come out of his last start of the season," Cunningham said. "What a gutsy performance — a man effort out there tonight."
White threw 131 pitches, striking out eight and walking just one.
McNamara and his 1.18 ERA in the regular season (he gave up three earned runs in a victory over Lexington in the first playoff series) will try to keep the Oilmen alive on Sunday at Southland, which plays its home games at Homewood-Flossmoor High School.

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is one of the oldest chat platforms on the Internet, and mIRC is one of the best known IRC chat clients.
The technology is mostly about holding real-time group chats in chat rooms, called channels (although you can have private chats with individual IRC users, too). It's far more complex than just chatting in the average web chatroom, but then you can also do more, and mIRC generally does a good job of walking you through the initial IRC basics.
Once you're chatting you'll discover that the program has all the extras that you'd expect in any modern messaging client: buddy lists, file transfers, message logging, SSL encryption, IPv6 support, and more.
If you want to go further, then the program can be automated through its own scripting language. This is no toy - it supports DLLs, can call COM objects, create graphical windows, process binary files, create sockets for network communications, and more - and can do anything from manage your IRC channels to playing complex multi-user online games.
And while the program isn't free, the licensing is just about as generous as you'll get. A single-user licence of $20 will allow you to install mIRC on up to 3 computers, and it's a lifetime deal - you'll never have to pay again for any future version.

BlizzCon 2010: WoW Insider interviews author Richard A. Knaak {WoW}
Oct 23rd 2010 8:19PM I still don't understand all the Knaak hate. When the lore was "originally" wrote, it was just bits and pieces of unfinished story. Like what Knaak said, he does what Blizzard tells him to do for the most part, and he had to devolop, and yes, change stuff. I mean, I don't hate Golden either, but I hated the Arthas book, to me it made me feel as if Arthas was a wimp, or like Tom Cruise or something. heheh. I haven't finished reading The Shattering yet, but I was a bugged when Jaina was talking to Wrynn about what happened to Bolvar, which, no one except for Bolvar and Tiron were supposed to know about it. Remember the cinematic? I don't see anyone go off about her flaws like I hear people complain about Richard.
Maybe if Richard threw a random love story in every book, or adopted a cow and named it Inedible, maybe people will like his books more. Also in Rise of the Horde, she described most areas (zones) the exact same way as it appears in the game, which was disappointing. I would've preferred hearing more about Draenor before it fell apart. I mean, there would've been landscapes that don't exist anymore right? Places like in between Hellfire and Shadowmoon? Oceans? She's not the perfect writer either. Leave Knaak alone.
Cataclysm beta removes portals from Dalaran and Shattrath {WoW}
Sep 27th 2010 2:25AM I can understand the reason for taking the portals out so that people leveling can experience the new content and get to see the new world and all the changes. If they didn't take the portals out there would be people still sitting around Dalaran not even knowing what's going on half the time. But, I also think they should of something else rather than just removing the portals, like puttings locks on what levels you can use the portals out. The portals were in Shattrath to help people get back and forth in Outland, and the Portals were in Dalaran to help people get back and forth while questing in Northrend. These zones are NOT getting changed. People are still going to be questing in those zones, and it's going to be tough having to ask a mage, or do a lot of traveling to get back to the rest of the world, especially in Outland, I think. As far as Northrend, if they can find a way to make all the flight paths connect, such as going from somewhere in Northrend to somewhere in Eastern Kingdoms or Kalimdor, or even connecting the Draenei zones to be able to fly to Kalimdor it will make things a little better. Not everyone wants to take the long way around. It would be nice not having everyone hang out in Dalaran, but I can see this making a lot of people angry.

In a packed Bradley County courtroom Friday, Sheriff-elect Eric Watson introduced his command staff and formally announced his chief deputy to help him lead the Bradley County Sheriff's Office.
Brian Smith, former Cleveland Police Department detective and outgoing Bradley County commissioner, stood alongside Watson and received a standing ovation from the crowd.
Friday's reception was a meet-and-greet opportunity for the command staff and the public.
Other command staff members include Director of Administration Arnold Botts, Captain of Criminal Investigations Steve Lawson, Director of Support Services Richard McCallister, Captain of Patrol Keith Edwards, Captain of Corrections and Judicial Services Gabe Thomas, and Smith as chief deputy. In this role, Smith will serve as No. 2 in command at the BCSO.
Watson said that including himself, his leadership team had 140 years of experience combined in the field of law enforcement.
He introduced Thomas first, citing Thomas' training and certifications to lead the Judicial and Corrections areas of the Sheriff's Office.
"First I want to thank God because this wouldn't have been possible without him," Thomas said.
Thomas also thanked his wife and family for their encouragement.
Botts followed suit as he was introduced as the director of Administration.
Botts said after much prayer and consultation with his wife and family, he decided to answer Watson and return to law enforcement.
"I give you my commitment to do the best I can do in the position you gave me. I consider this not a blessing, but a God-given opportunity. I am excited about being a part of providing the best service available for Bradley County," Botts said.
He also asked for the community's prayers and support for the Sheriff's Office moving forward.
Watson explained the duties of each person as well as their academics and experience.
Edwards has served 31 years in virtually every capacity of the sheriff's office, from patrol to criminal investigations, to school resource officer.
"I want to thank Sheriff Watson for having confidence in placing me in a position with a great responsibility," Edwards said as he also thanked the residents of Bradley County.
Watson quipped … "Are you a Tennessee Vols fan?" Edwards answered "Absolutely."
Watson said unofficially, that was a job requirement.
That was a question across the board to each member of his new leadership team, including McCallister, who has received multiple degrees and education from Georgia State University.
McCallister confided that he was "a Vols fan," and has lived in neighboring Meigs County for a number of years before moving to Bradley County two years ago.
McCallister also thanked the sheriff-elect for his confidence in choosing him as the director of Support Services.
Watson said his administrative abilities along with a background in law will provide a great resource for the Sheriff's Office.
Lawson is the current director of the 10th Judicial Drug Task Force.
"All I want out of this, is to do the best job I can do," Lawson said.
"Steve Lawson will be coming home to the Bradley County Sheriff's Office," Watson said.
Lawson was captain of Detectives during the Tim Gobble administration. He has worked under five previous sheriffs.
Watson kept the introductions entertaining when he came to Smith's announcement.
"Here's the bomb now," he stated, relating to the announcement the crowd had been waiting for. Smith stood to the ovation after Watson went over some of his law enforcement and 3rd District commission experience and education.
Smith said he thanked Watson for the confidence he showed in him in putting together the transition team and the opportunity as chief deputy.
"I look forward to standing side-by-side with the sheriff as we take the Sheriff's Office in a new direction."
An oath of office and swearing-in ceremony is set for Aug. 31, at 4 p.m. at the North Cleveland Church of God.
Watson said TBI Director Mark Gwynn will be on hand during the ceremony as well as entertainment from the Voices of Lee.

Hi all, I have done some extract brewing, but want to move to all grain. Ive noticed there is a noticeable startup cost for all grain. I'm sure others are in my position and brewers on a budget. I can't afford all the fancy equipment. I would like to make 5-6 gallon batches. I plan to use an old cooler to make my mash tun. I still need a good size kettle, I'm thinking 10 gallon aluminum. I was thinking of making an immersion wort chiller but looking at the parts at my local hardware store the difference in making my own and buying one doesn't seem like that much of a difference. 20' of copper tubing is already $25. And the cost of bottling is cheaper than kegging. I've heard of people buying bulk grains but where do they get it from? Can people share their methods of saving money on their brewing? thanks in advance for your input.
LousyBeer the answers are clear But a few things we must know if you want good beer. Add to your profile your age and location. And not necessary but you could add a vocation. Other wise some might think you are underage. And with this thought will not give you a gage (advice)
You could look into brew in a bag. I do that and just have a big 9.5gal pot & a jumbo bag. Buying a chiller is the way to go. There are a lot of potential sources for bulk grains (but then you'll need a mill). BrewBrothers.biz just sent me some but the usual suspects are Northern Brewer, More Beer, Farmhouse Brewing Supply, Austin Homebrew, etc should all be viable options as well.
Lousy, I too am on a pensioners budget, so I look carefully at CL, Ebay and Amazon for the best deals. I also tend to repurpose as much as I can and buy as little as I can get away with. I have had to buy fittings, hose and other supplies, but have really saved a few bucks by accepting the fact that I am not going to build a super show brew stand with a lot of bling and geee whizz factor. I have nearly completed a 3 tier stand with two burners and I am designing my own micro-controller automation system for pretty cheap. I use Wal mart burners, and cheap coolers for my mash tun, as well as aluminum kettles instead of stainless. I have done all of my own sheet metal, building, welding and electronics to save the coins of buying it premade. So far I have about 500.00 invested in all of it and it should be worth well over 2000 whan I am done. I also realize I will never sell it for even what I have invested, but thats just the way it goes. For me it is a personal conquest of the various technologies involved for my own satisfaction. Patience and prior planning will help, but it is a bit of a hump to get over initially for all of us on a budget. So far I have been working on this project since Dec 22nd, 2011 and hope to finish it this year by Christmas maybe. Wheelchair Bob
What do you mean "no Kidneys"???, WTF now I gotta drink less beer... Join the Automation sub forum in Electric brewing for a discussion of components and control systems. I did!!!!
Their is not much start up cost to going AG. Most of us make our brewing rigs over time. You need to start looking for keggels and then you have to buy a weld-less ball valve. Make your brew kettel first, then all the other stuff comes later. Side note, I wish I could go back in time and not have spent the money on an IC, because by the end I had spent the same amount as a plate chiller, same thing with the cooler MLT, lots of cost to make it then later a keggel is my MLT and the cooler is wasted money. It's not a lot of money if you spaced it out over five years.
I think the least equipment intensive way to get into all grain would be Deathbrewer's Easy Stovetop All Grain Brewing. Bulk buys are a great way to get a lot of one grain cheaply, but you'll save money just buying grains by the pound from an online vendor like Brewmaster's Warehouse. Find a hop you like and order a pound from Hops Direct. Use and reuse dry yeast. You can repitch slurry directly without making starters if you plan your batches back to back. I trust dry yeasts from Fermentis for at least three generations.
If you have a local brew club, you need to start making conections with them. They may have used gear cheap. Older brewers like to see new blood and will help you out.
I use two 12qt pots, mash in the oven. I lauter in a bottling bucket with a colander and a copper manifold. I boil in the same 12 qt pots on the stovetop. I cool in the bathtub. My fermentation chamber is a big plastic tub with rope handles. I use 20# of ice to start and then rotate in one frozen water bottle every hour or two. My only extravagance is my carboys. I refuse to ferment in plastic.

I began volunteering with BASE Camp in my last year of law school as a pro-bono requirement to graduate. Truth be told, I was most likely only going to grab my requisite hours and move on. However, for a time after my hours were complete until my life shut down to study for the bar exam, i continued to participate with BASE Camp because of the great program that was run by the directors. The incredibly selfless actions, along with the generosity of both the organization and the fellow volunteers was too much not to be a part of.
I now consider myself a full time volunteer and a part of the team. The value of the experience is immeasurable and the value of the help BASE Camp offers to the children and families stricken with cancer is also immeasurable.

A 451 Internet error code? Digital Trends has the details:
"Government-imposed online censorship has become increasingly prevalent over the past few years...When censorship does happen, we need a sign that clearly tells us that that's the reason for a site's inaccessibility.
Enter Tim Bray, a software developer at Google who has proposed a solution: a "451? error code that displays anytime you visit a site blocked by the government. The number 451 is in honor of late author Ray Bradbury, whose science fiction classic Fahrenheit 451, first published in 1950, warned of a dystopian world defined by government-imposed censorship (in the form of burning any house that contains books)."
Bradbury said that Fahrenheit 451 is about the effect of mass media on the reading of literature not censorship and that the enemy is not the state but the people. Is it right to assign a meaning that the author did not intend because it sounds good?
I had the same thought when I saw this story. Good comment.
that some internet censorship is good not bad.

I didn't know what was happening with the weather here in Paris: it was sweaty one day, and freezing the next. (Conveniently, on the freezing night, there was a Fendi party. So my girlfriends had already borrowed fur coats and I didn't need to lend mine to anyone. Being a gentleman is tough work!) But while the weather was rather unpredictable, the haute couture fashion week was expectedly divine.
On the scale of divinity, the highlight of the trip was the dinner that Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti hosted in honor of Anna Wintour at Wideville, the designer's chateau outside Paris. I have been to Wideville a couple of times, but one never gets tired of the glitz, the glamour, or the old world romance of one of the world's most marvelous designers. Cocktails on a terrace, sunset walks through the rose garden, dinner in a converted barn, and dancing in a one-night-only discothèque. Actually, it's a normal night out for Val and Giancarlo.
But, of course, this week the focus was the shows. Some people lament the dwindling presence of fashion shows on the haute couture schedule. But perhaps that is because they are scared that if more and more designers drop out of the haute couture schedule, the day may come when we won't have this extra reason to come to Paris twice a year. I enjoy the lazier schedule because it gives one time to breathe, or rather inhale the excellence of couture. For example, Naomi Campbell opening the haute couture shows with her infamous trot in the first look at the Versace show was just the punch one needs to be reminded of the importance of high fashion. Later that night, Naomi joined a dinner at Azzedine Alaia's house, where the designer cooked a three-course meal in honor of Christian Lacroix's appointment at the house of Schiaparelli. That was a nice reminder too.
And what of the other shows? I was partial to the knitted eveningwear, an interesting paradox that Raf Simons did at Dior, and I heard none other than Jennifer Lawrence, who had flown in for the show, saying the same. Giambattista Valli did a fabulous white lace passage that looked like a garden in a cloud of heaven. Valentino looked to insects for the first half of their presentation, and then exterminated them with bedazzled glamour. And Karl Lagerfeld sent Erin Wasson out in a tiered wedding dress that made my eyes melt in a dilapidated theater he had built in the Grand Palais.
I haven't had a Fourth of July celebration in about seven years since the couture shows always fall on the American holiday. But, luckily, this year I wasn't alone: I welcomed Fourth of July with some fellow Americans in Paris – Karlie, two Traina sisters and the divine Alex Wang – at Chez Julien.
On the night before the Chanel couture show, Bazaar's editor-in-chief, Glenda Bailey, and myself stopped in at Karl's studio, where he showed us a picture he had taken of Erin wearing nothing but the boots from the couture show. Not that they were just any boots: he called them stir-up shoes because they were anchored to a belt so that the soft, comfortable leather wouldn't slouch. That moment reminded me of why I loved the couture shows so much: Not just because I had an audience with the Kaiser, but also because it reminded me that at a couture show, the most impressive details are the ones that you can't see.

Although the TCPS girls picked up their 15th win of the season Tuesday in The Hawks Nest against Knoxville Christian, Locklear wants the Lady Birds to fly from the Nest in full dive mode rather than waiting to be motivated at halftime.
The Hawks fell behind early, but caught and passed the Knoxville Christian boys to hang on and seal a No. 3-seed in the upcoming tournament with a 44-40 win over the Knights.
"They just want to see me yell evidently, and stomp my feet around" said Locklear after the TCPS Senior Night celebration. "Since the first game coming back from our Christmas break we have not been able to start a game hard and strong and stay that way for some reason, I don't know what it is. But fortunately we've been really good this season that when we start that way the second half is usually a different story after that little bit of motivation from the coaches at halftime."
The Lady Hawks picked up the pace in the second quarter building a 5-3 lead to 9-3 with baskets from Natalie Calfee and Logan Hall. Knoxville Christian came back to make in a 10-8 game with just over two minutes left in the half. Calfee — who finished the night with 10 points — added two more from the floor and another from the free-throw line to go with tosses by Laura Rabuano to make it a 15-9 game at halftime.
Hall and Neely Benton combined to put the Lady Hawks out front of the Lady Knights by 10 early in the third seconds before Benton stretched the nylons for a 3-pointer from the right corner to make it a 22-11 game. Merritt Jenkins kept TCPS out front by 10 with her fifth point of the quarter with just under a minute left to put the Lady Hawks on top 27-17.
The Lady Knights scored the first four points of the fourth quarter to cut the TCPS lead to 27-24 before Benton connected for her second 3 of the night from the right win. KC responded with a 6-0 run to tie the game at 30-30 with 33:34 left to play.
Calfee put the Lady Hawks back out front with two from the paint with 2:47 to go then added two more to make it 34-30. Hall capped the six-point run streaking through the lane on a perfectly executed in bounds play for the final field goal of the night for the Lady Hawks. Both teams added one more free throw to cap the scoring.
"Tonight they knew how important this was. There is a lot emotion during Senior Night. Whether that was the reason (for the slow start) I'm not sure. I'm just glad they found a way to score those last few baskets, secure the lead and win in the end," said Locklear.
The Lady Hawks will return to the practice court looking for first half motivation before next week's tournament.
"We've got a few days to practice and that's what we are going to be working on," said Locklear of regaining a strong start. We're going to make sure we have all the glitches out and we're ready to roll."
In the night's closer, the Knights from Knoxville were looking to steal the day from the Hawks of TCPS and spoil the festive Senior Night evening as well as a high tournament seed.
It took some second half heroics from Jacob Coleman and Robbie Davis to help pull the Hawks to the lead and lock up the 44-40 win.
Coleman led the Hawks in scoring with 19 points followed by Davis with 12.
"It was a huge win. We actually were playing for a third seed in the tournament. Once we got aggressive in the second half and picked up our defensive intensity we kind of got going," said Hawks coach Frank Walker. "Jacob Coleman came through for us and was real aggressive. Robbie Davis played really big for us with his rebounds. Val Berger had his best game of the season. It was an all around team game tonight."
The teams battled point-for-point in the first quarter with the Knights taking an 11-9 lead into the second. Knox Christian pulled to a 17-9 lead late in the half holding the Hawks to only four second quarter points and taking a 19-13 lead into the break.
Coleman cut the KC lead to five points with a 3 to open the third quarter and cut the Knights lead to 23-21 with a 3-point play following a Val Berger field goal. With 4:09 left in the third quarter, Davis played some string music from the left corner with his second 3 to close the gap to 28-21. Two free tosses and a field goal by Coleman put the Hawks out front 30-27 to close out the third period.
Berger, Coleman, Davis and Luke Benton combined to put the Hawks on top 38-28 midway through the fourth quarter before the Knights let loose with a barrage of four straight 3s to pull within two points of TCPS at 42-40. From there, the Hawks defense held its ground and Coleman put the game on ice with two free throws with 15 seconds left.
"The guys responded to being down in the first half and came out and got a win. They held off a big run there at the end, those guys got hot. They (KC) hit four 3s in a row and I thought we were going to give this game away. But we hung in there and continued to fight. Hats off to the kids," said a pleased and relieved Walker. "Our guys have fought all year, they have responded to me and I've got to give a big up to the kids."

The Mozarteum
Qualified students of music can take one or two courses per semester at the Mozarteum. These courses are in addition to regular program courses.
To apply to the Mozarteum, submit a recording, certified by your instructor, for preliminary evaluation by faculty of BGSU's College of Musical Arts. If favorably evaluated, the tape will be sent on to Salzburg to be evaluated by the faculty of the appropriate department at the Mozarteum. A final decision on admission is made on the basis of a personal audition and written test (Aufnahmeprüfung) held in Salzburg , usually during the last week of September. The audition committee of the Mozarteum expects an applicant to reflect a superior level of quality, development, and artistic expression.
Particular emphasis is placed on the following criteria in auditions: (1) highest level of technical proficiency and instrumental command; (2) period and stylistic understanding of performed compositions; (3) extensive and comprehensive repertoire.
The Mozarteum offers classes in composition, music theory, conducting, keyboard instruments, string instruments, wind and percussion instruments, church music, voice, and opera. You should be aware that the Mozarteum charges an additional tuition fee (now approximately $750 per year) that is not covered by the BGSU program fees. If interested, contact the BGSU Salzburg Program Coordinator for further course information. Please indicate instrument or area of study.
Other Musical Opportunities
Any participant in the Salzburg program can usually arrange to take lessons and will also find ample opportunity to participate in singing groups or ensembles.

Hi Laura; As far as I know, these aren't made any longer. They fell out of favor due to the artificial look of the plastic inserts, the small amount of water couldn't keep very many fish healthy, and the planting spaces weren't very useful. They also cost an arm and a leg! Several pet stores around here had them for a little while then got rid of them. I also bought one recently, for a great discount, because the pet store couldn't sell it. I got it for less than a plain tank of the same size. I'll be taking out the plastic inserts and scraping off silicone from the front. The back will be covered with a more natural background, I'll be turning it into a vivarium of my own making. If you want to try it as designed, you'll need a powerhead or good sized fountain pump to move the water. There should be a place in back for the pump, and you run tubing from the outlet up a narrow channel (also in visible the plastic), through a hole into an upper pool. It then spills down a couple levels and returns under the plastic to the pump. Any pet store employee good with aquariums can help you find the right size pump. To set it up, watch to see where the water will flow, and where the water will be showing through the front glass (if it isn't obvious, just set it up with water only and watch it). Then, use clean aquarium gravel to fill the planting spaces and holes until the gravel is higher than the water level. You can plant directly into the gravel, or top the gravel (above the water line) with some potting soil to plant in. Be careful if using soil- a little slip can make a huge mess in the water! Fill up with water again, and it's a good idea measure how much water you actually put in. After you've got the water going and the "land" parts planted, then do the usual cycling of the tank just like a regular aquarium. Remember to treat it like a tank the size of the actual water amount- not like a 30 gallon tank. Mine's in storage now or I'd get pictures, sorry. Hope this helps a little. Vincent |

One of the biggest questions asked of us who have publicly announced that we are non-believers is "What if your wrong?" Here's my theory: The story goes that god forgives those that ask for it right? Or if we are truly sorry then we will be forgiven and won't go to hell. If that's the case and we're wrong, will we be forgiven by christian and catholic logic? It makes no sense to me because I can ask a "believer" the exact same question and they will dance around it or just plainly say "I'm not wrong, GOD is real and your going to hell" (Kinda rude but ok lol)... Just trying to pick a few brains here.
P.S. I was asked this question 2 days ago and thought i'd get a few opinions.
Shavante, it's an interesting and worthwhile question to mull over. I think most people, whether religious or not, ask this question at some point. I have.
What if the christian is wrong and there is really a Muslim god? What if the Muslims are wrong and it's the god of the Jews? What if the Muslims and Jews and Christians are wrong, and it's the Hindu god? What if they are all wrong, and Buddhism is right? Or Zoroastrianism. Is it majority vote - the most people in a particular religion win? What kind of god would do that?
Since there is no majority religion worldwide - no one "right" religion has even half of the world's billions - why is the supposedly loving "god" being so cruel as to set up billions of people for eternal torture? How does that make sense?
I think the "what if I am wrong" argument applies to everyone, everywhere. The only way that argument can be used to support existence of a god, is if that god is a truly malevolent, violent, cruel, dastardly, childish, evil being, who relishes torture of billions of human beings. What an awful disgusting being that god would be.
I believe so too. If he's up there, what is he doing? If he hears all, sees all and knows all, why when people pray for good, it doesn't come? Not until they make it happen and then give god all the credit.
I feel the whole "GOD" myth was created to justify all that could not be explained to those who were afraid to ask & answer their own questions. but well said Tonya :)
pascal's wager? i think it's called.. Greydon Square's lyrics have tons of come backs etc.. or factual answers etc..
but the whole thing is a joke.. this is the true reason for faith-based stuff (superficial?mind control):
folks done missed the boat(s) on modern day realities imho.
like the 80 year old italian woman said (sharp as a razor) "..we don't do the religion thing anymore.. it's so passe" regards to her son dying. strange, so many folks have no idea of the freethought movements.. they latch on to the unitarian stuff.. or whatever because they still like the .. regiment? I broke out about 85...
literally argued my way out of privy school about 89.. peace!
life's too short for letting a myth control your thoughts and deeds in life. f em' if they can't take it.. go visit pakistan or whatever overrun nation... overrun by fundies.
agno aye? don't waste your time searching for those wasted years ' iron maiden track ha...
but seriously.. do you bother to spend time looking for that omnipotent .. thing? in space that everyone wishes to see after they're dead and just taking up space at grave? people can be labeled conceited in that aspect imho. in reality the whole thing is a $cam game; and genocides galore; peace.
religion is like corporations.. trying to hijack all dope arts! say word sin! ; )
Well aren't you knowledgeable Jim.. Nicely done
I would have ask the the person who posed the question how they knows their religion is the "right" one. If they are Christian they can choose from around 38000 denominations and many of these disagree on articles of faith. Ask them why:
Some Christians believe that salvation requires good works and faith other believe only faith is required.
Some believe that once a person is saved they cannot lose their salvation but other believe you can lose it.
Some Christians believe the rapture will happen others do not.
These are just a few of the arguments among Christians but their bible is so contradictory and open to interpretation that each group can defend it's belief using the scripture within.
Ask them why god has never make it clear which Christianity is the authentic Christianity.
All the different religions can't be right but they can all be wrong.
Very well said. My insurance lady says that we should all believe in God and the Bible "just in case." (I guess that is good insurance to her.) As a freethinker who has read the Bible from cover to cover, it's my understanding that this kind of "faith" just won't work. God will spew you out of his mouth. You have to believe this crap without reasoning or questioning. "God said it, I believe it, and that settles it" is plain and pure BS! While I cannot claim no deities exist without any doubt, I can most certainly claim that deity is not proven or explained within the pages of the Judaeo Christian bible and all of it's fables. What is there to be wrong about?
I think the question only makes sense to someone who has already willingly partaken of a large glass of the kool-aid. From this perspective, only a fool would turn their back on god, heaven or possibly a large box of crystal raisins. It could only carry weight if you truly believed god existed.
Anyone seeking the truth, without having previously experienced the epiphany, must begin at ground zero. They must ask themselves not only "what do I know?", but also "what does it mean to say I know?" Starting there, without benefit of the elusive epipheny, logic reveals a dearth of evidence in favor of god. Honestly seeking the truth is not something one must apologize for. Speaking the truth as one sees it is a respectable way to live. Of course, one must be sure to only speak for themselves. Not finding god is not proof god does not exist. While we can speak of our shared non-experience with god, we cannot say we've proven god does not exist. The accumulation of shared non-experience will speak for itself; not as proof, but the weight of consensus.
I do not live my life in fear that god may punish me for lacking faith. I put my faith in the belief that any god would want me to use my reason to speak the truth, as I know it. If someday I get the golden ticket I reserve the right to change my mind, irregardless of the consensus of others. At that time, I will continue to speak the truth as I know it, even if I appear inconsistent.

I'm really not sure what the names of the parts of my furnace are but I will do my best to describe what's happening:
Our furnace unit is located in an outside closet. Standing in front of the unit, I see the furnace, above that I see the indoor coiling unit, and above that is a steel chute that leads up (to the roof/ceiling I guess). I've noticed in the steel piece is a perfectly round hole about 1" in diameter. Is that supposed to be there? Wouldn't air come out of that instead of going into the duct system? Thanks for any suggestions. |

While it seems rare for residential equipment, it may have been opened up to test and balance the system's airflow. It's hard to tell what it may have been opened up for, but I would seal it with a piece of flat sheet metal, screws, and foil tape (or -- just a couple layers of foil tape if it's easier). |
I think you are right (house went through inspections last year). Foil tape is a great suggestion. Thank you! |

Despite garnering a ton of interest from fans when it hit in late 2006, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories didn't sell quite as well as other GTA titles. It could be that gamers are getting sick of the same recycled gameplay, but what's more likely is that they were just waiting for the game to arrive on PS2, instead of the notoriously hard-to-control PSP. If you're in that latter camp, then here's your chance to pick up the best GTA since San Andreas.
If you already caught it on the PSP, though, don't expect anything new. The multiplayer modes and custom-soundtrack feature have been stripped out and replaced by the smoother, rumble-enabled PS2 controls and a budgetastic price, but otherwise this is the same adventure that hit in October. Which, so long as you're not looking for multiplayer, isn't a bad thing at all.
Set in 1984 (two years before Vice City), Vice City Stories stars straight-laced Victor Vance, who - despite starting out as GTA's most boring protagonist - eventually becomes the series' most conflicted and most tragic anti-hero. He's also the big brother of Vice City sidekick Lance Vance, a walking disaster who shows up to comically ruin things and drag Vic deep into Florida's drug-smuggling underworld.
VCS is more than just a new story, however. Aside from serving up a sprawling, colorful, freely explorable city filled with jackable cars, boats, helicopters and even Jet Skis, it brings a few new features to the table. One of these is empire-building, which enables you to attack, take over and manage illegal rackets run by rival gangs, with the eventual goal of wiping your enemies off the map and owning Vice City's underworld.

Montana and Poul eloped last July in Denmark (Poul's home country) but decided, why not still have a party? So I was able to document the festivities at the Commandant's House last weekend. I think they get the award for most original songs composed for a wedding celebration! (For details on that, keep reading!)
The desserts were all Danish pastry, of course.
Montana looking lovely in all her casual elegance.
Since the Commandant's House is right on the Navy Yard, the guests were able to take a tour of the USS Constitution.
Lawn games, anyone?
So now for the story about the songs. It's a Danish tradition that the mother of the groom composes an original song, and she and the guests sing it to the couple at the reception. So here's Poul's lovely Danish mother belting out a tune.
So, going along with tradition, Montana's mother figures she'd do it as well (even though she's American). The crowd was roaring during her song which told the story of Montana and Poul and was set to the music of the Beatles "Ob-la-di Ob-la-di. Life Goes on".
The chorus. . .
The party continues!
A special shout-out goes to Off the Vine catering for their wonderful food, service, and timing! Very impressive.
Montana and Poul, thanks for having me share in your celebration!

A regional Russian agriculture ministry has said agriculture insurance with state support is to start in Crimea in 2015, Forinsurer reports citing Interfax.
Contracts for crop insurance are likely to be issued by the end of 2014. No rate of subsidization has been announced so far. Insurers seeking contracts should at least have operations in the Russian jurisdiction, reports Forinsurer.

Blood Pact: Of spells and bad metaphors {WoW}
Jun 20th 2009 4:23AM demonic circle is very useful in pve.
Malygos - first phase - you can port out of the vortex and continue dpsing while everyone else is twirling around helplessly.
Heigan - you can teleport back to the podium after the dance instead of running up - a few seconds saved can still make a difference.
XT - port back to your spot after running out with the light/gravity bomb.
Ayuraya, - porting back to the spot she's tanked at after fear, so that feral defender doesn't pounce on you as much.
those are just a few occurrences that come to mind, I'm sure I can think of more. In short - its a very useful spell in pve, you just need to be creative with it :)
BigRedKitty: Armor penetration stinks {WoW}
Dec 27th 2008 4:03PM let me first say that I'm amature theorycrafter at best (if at all) and math is ot myu strongest point, so what I'm presenting here is anecdotal evidence at best. but it still makes me wonder.
I had an opportunity to test out to different pairs of pants - crafted and drop. one had about 60 armor penetration and one had about that much crit. both were enchanted with epic ap/crit leg kit. with crafted pant (giantmaim leggins) I gained about 6% armor penetration. with the drop (leggins of stone halls) I gained about 1.5% crit (which brough me up to 27%) our tank was a warrior though I've yet to see any of our tanks have an opportunity to stack all 5 sunders on anything other then tank and spank raid bosses - things die too quickly. I've noticed that my overall dps was higher with pen then it was with crit.
I would need to test it again probably on a boss like patchwerk (otherwse known as "stand back and unleash" boss), but how do you explain my experience so far?
The plague is gone, zombies dropping like flies {WoW}
Oct 27th 2008 4:50PM "understand that you have to tolerate other people and learn that not everyone feels the same as you about what 'fun' is."
what a great advice. you should take it. as well as those lovely people who think and say it most empathicaly in some very unpleasant terms, that not enjoying the event and stating that outloud automaticaly makes you a no fun whiner.
Zombie invasion phase 5 begins [Updated x5] {WoW}
Oct 26th 2008 4:31PM this event would be fun and a great way to usher in the expansion IF it completely didn't kill the other wolrd event that's going on right now. and if there was a choice to opt out of it, OTHER then suspending your play untill it blows over.
I for one love Hallow's end. I haven't been playing this game long enough to participate in a previous year, so i'd like to enjoy this one to the fullest. I'm currently unable to.
I liked the fact that I could socialize when I wanted to, avoid people I didn't want to socialize with and mold the way I play according to my preferences. I miss those times.
I'm not even going to mention other factors anymore because, you see, wanting to play the game my own way, something that attracted me to WoW in a first place (over every other MMO out there) is no longer possible and disliking this fact, by the definition of all the zombie fanboys and fangirls makes me a no-fun whiner.
I'm not quitting the game just yet. I'm going to wait and see. but if this event eats up the rest of the time between now and expansion and if this is the direction that Blizz is planning on taking, then you can all rejoice, as there will be one less "whiner".
no need to say "don't let the door hit you" - I'm perfectly aware of the great internet theory and had plenty of chances to see it in action recently. further proof is not nessesary
Skill Mastery: Zombie Explosion! {WoW}
Oct 26th 2008 10:33AM it amazes me how you all "fun" people cannot see anyone's point of view but your own.
1. Hallow's end is still going on. but its pretty impossible to trick or treat when innkeepers constantly get infected. its also pretty impossible to get your gnerds achievement seeing as killing zombies doesn't count towards it.
2. some of us are still trying to see some end game content before expantion come out. just becasue bosses have been nerve doesn't mean i shoudl be coming to a raid half assed and unprepared - so acces to AH would be nice, thank you very much. not to mention it would be nice if I could actualy have flightmaster available - I don't have an epic flying on my current raiding toon, so getting anywhere without a taxi take to freaking long
3. leveling alts. more over - double boxing those alts while taking advantage of Refer a friend bonus. its near impossible now at certain levels, because the quest hubs are overrun. which means while this "event" is going on - my RaF days are effectively trickling away with me being unable to use them. I cannot exactly stop and "enjoy" the zombies and get back to leveling afterwards, becasue by that time - my bonus will be gone. Chances of Blizzard extending my bonus are exactly 0.
that bonus is a major reason I even bought a second account. no, it was NOT a zhevra. i was an oportunity to get a few more classes to 60 quicker, so that I could try them out and see variety of game play. and level a few more professions - this is the way I have fun.
waiting for NPCs to respawn is NOT fun to me. logging in and being eaten before I can hit a single button is NOT fun to me (especialy when the place is overrun - the only way for me to get out of this state is to wait for death - no npc's arond to kill me, and then hope that they go away somewhere else, or simply log out and check back later - that is NOT fun. I want to level my toon, I don't want to waste time logging in on it)
your excuses that its MMO and you shoudl be playing with people are utter bull. becasue the whole point is - you CHOOSE when, where and how you play with those people, you can choose WHICH people you play with and sometimes, you can choose to solo. there wouldn't be so much solo stuff to do if Blizzard only wanted us to group all the time.
some of us do not like events being shoved down our throats. some of us actualy like to CHOOSE whether we participate or not. and outside of this event - the game is generaly very good about it. this is why so many people are pissed off - this choice has been taken away from them.
I'm very happy that you all are enjoying event, I really am. I might even have fun with being a zombie (or a righteous healer, depending on a toon I'd be playing at the time) if I actualy had a choice about it.
Zombie Fighting 101 {WoW}
Oct 24th 2008 11:03AM my personal problem with this crap? I'm all for world events - they can be tons of fun. but how about NOT having 2 world events at once? maybe?
right now, I'm trying to get a hallowed titled on a bunch of my toons and judging by the horific droprate of the headless horseman, my only chance of doing that is through trick or treating. which becomes near impossible if I want to do it anywhere other then shatt. which means I have a choice - park my toons in one of shatt's inns and forget about playing them for the duration of Hallow's end, which interfeers with my other goal - use the last 2 weeks of RaF I have left to speed level a few more of my alts.
If Blizzard extended my RaF past the event - I'd have no problem. If they didn't combine 2 events and made it difficult to impossible to participate in one of them (my event of choice) - I'd be fine.
As it is - this it complete and utter crap, that allows griefers to go wild under pretence of participating in a world event.
that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it, you're free to disagree

Would you rather die by a terrorist attack? Would you rather that youre family die by terrorist attack? Do you believe that people who believe that they will go to heaven when they die by suicide bombing have free reign? Is Sharia law not a threat to all peaceful people in the world? What about 9/11 or suicide bombings in Madrid or London, do their subways deserve to be bombed?
I agree with most of the posts here that the NSA has gone too far, hell I even e-mailed them about it, which made friends call me crazy, but the other side deserves to be heard. There ARE two sides to the debate and I keep seeing one side here.

Visitors can walk around the 20 foot exhibit and choose to project from 300 images illustrating the states geology, earth quake patterns and risks, flow of water, transportation and ecosystems.
The Astrolabe
The Astrolabe interactive display has been featured in many Digital Media conferences in Europe and North America as an elegant solution to the problem of presenting complex ideas in visually exhilarating ways. This interactive features an accurate 3D reconstruction of a 16th Century Moorish Astrolabe as well as geometry depicting the relationship between the sky and the device.
Strategic Planning for Cultural Institutions
This presentation, workshop and multimedia prototype projects approaches to developing workable strategies and sustainable production process for New Media. The workshop combines high-technology production techniques with simple but essential communication principles to illustrate how to harness the power of the New Media. This workshop and seminar series has been conducted in many public and private sector corporations throughout North America and Europe.
Living and Working in Space
This collection of four interactive workstations combines live video, 2D and 3D computer animation as well as innovative multimedia activities to illustrate the how people live and work in space. The bi-lingual multimedia exhibits contained over 700 screens and were part of the Museum's Canada in Space Gallery.
