An Advocate for Hope ¿ Dreams for Kids
Tom Tuohy recounts the heartwarming stories of J. J. O¿Conner, Jesse White, Father Walter Brennan, and Clara Kirk in ¿Kiss of a Dolphin.¿ The book is the story of Dreams for Kids. The story is about ordinary people and how they are making an extraordinary difference in fulfilling the dreams of others. The story begins in the Cabrini-Green area of Chicago, and moves to Chicago¿s Westside, and to then to West Englewood, rapidly increasing into statewide and then national recognition. I read through tears as I turned the pages. Jesse White and his internationally acclaimed tumbling team, Father Wally Brennan¿s ministry in the streets, and Clara Kirk¿s shelter of hope are all featured Partners in the adventures reported here. These organizations and individual team members have inspired hope to those ensnare by the cycle of poverty, race restrictions, and limitations. Jim Smith and Dick Marak also provide the inspiration and encouragement needed for J.J. O¿Conner to rise above the despair of being a quadriplegic. J.J. learned a lesson while swimming with the dolphins at an aquatic facility in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He learned a lesson in trust, acceptance, and communication. The dolphin¿s kiss changed J.J.¿s approach to life and self acceptance. J. J. now had a strong desire to return something to the community. This strong desire grew into the future mission of Dreams for Kids and became the title of this book. Tom Tuohy is an effective, convincing, communicator. His writing is gripping. Tom has a way of drawing the reader into each story. As a reader I felt a strong desire to respond to the need, to become involved and to participate in fulfilling the vision of Dreams for Kids. ¿Kiss of a Dolphin¿ is the kind of book that should be read by every individual involved in community outreach, by agency program directors, and individuals who have been touched by the underprivileged, poverty stricken, or those physically disabled. Tom Tuohy in ¿Kiss of a Dolphin¿ has given a message of hope, inspiration, and the challenge to make dreams become a reality.

Besides investigating the function of a new implantable bone conduction hearing aid, Sabine Reinfeldt has studied the sensitivity for bone conducted sound and also examined the possibilities for a two-way communication system that is utilizing bone conduction in noisy environments.
A new Bone Conduction Implant (BCI) hearing system was investigated by Sabine Reinfeldt:
"This hearing aid does not require a permanent skin penetration, in contrast to the Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHAs) used today."
Measurements showed that the new BCI hearing system can be a realistic alternative to the BAHA.
Sound is normally perceived through Air Conduction (AC), which means that the sound waves in the air enter the ear-canal and are transmitted to the cochlea in the inner ear. However, sound can also be perceived via Bone Conduction (BC). Vibrations are then transmitted to the cochleae through the skull bone from either one's own voice, the surrounding sound field, or a BC transducer.
In two-way communication systems, BC is believed to improve the sound quality when used in extremely noisy environments which require hearing protection devices in the ear-canals.
Several studies were performed to investigate the possibilities for a BC communication system and to increase the general knowledge of BC sound perception.
The low-frequency increase in perceived BC sound when wearing ear-plugs and/or ear-muffs is called the occlusion effect. This effect was studied by different methods and it was found that it is lower for deeper insertion of ear-plugs and for larger ear-muffs, and that it varies for different stimulations.
The difference in sensitivity of the BC and AC parts of one's own voice was estimated, showing that the BC component dominated for most sounds between 1 and 2 kHz. To be able to measure the BC component of a person's own voice, a large ear-muff was developed to attenuate the AC sound and to minimize the occlusion effect.
The study also showed that the sensitivity difference between the BC and AC parts of one's own voice were different for different kinds of sounds, depending on where in the mouth the sound is produced and on the influence from the vocal cords.
Also estimated was the difference in sensitivity between BC and AC sound from a surrounding sound field, demonstrating that the BC part was 40 to 60 dB lower than the AC part. This measure gives the maximum attenuation achievable with ordinary hearing protection devices, like ear-plugs and ear-muffs. It also shows the possible noise reduction from the surrounding noise by using a BC microphone, instead of an ordinary AC microphone in front of the mouth, to record one's own voice in a noisy environment.
Moreover, the amount of BC sound reaching the cochleae from different positions of the skull bone was examined with the conclusion that relative BC hearing can be estimated from ear-canal sound pressure and cochlear vibrations.
The thesis "Bone Conduction Hearing in Human Communication - Sensitivity, Transmission, and Applications" was defended in public on June 5, 2009.

In our 2.3 release, we marked CMS_MODERATOR as deprecated. This has caused some discussion on our email lists, so I would like to explain what we are planning and why. In particular, I would like to reassure users and developers that these changes will not leave anyone behind - which is the last thing we'd want to do.
We've just released a hotfix release for django CMS 2.3.2 restoring Python 2.5 support.
by Patrick Lauber
Today we're releasing django CMS 2.3.2.
2.3.2 mostly focuses on performance and fixes.
What has changed?
Today we're releasing the first 2.3.2 release candidate.
by benjamin
Today we released version 2.3.1 of django CMS. This release constitutes a pure hotfix release to contain a incompatibility between the CMS and the newly released django-mptt 0.5.3. django CMS now requires django-mptt 0.5.1 or 0.5.2.
Today I'm excited to announce the release of django CMS 2.3. In this version we focused mostly on polishing and bugfixes, therefore it does not contain much in the way of major change. Nevertheless, I am very happy with this release.
Today we release 2.3 RC2, the second release candidate for django CMS 2.3 on GitHub.
After hard work at the DjangoCon Europe 2012 sprints, we are now ready to release Release Candidate 1 for django CMS 2.3.
DjangoCon Europe is coming to Zurich, Switzerland this year, and with it a chance to meet the Django CMS core developers.

Solving "Greater Than" Absolute Value Inequalities - Problem 2
Carl Horowitz
Carl Horowitz
University of Michigan
Runs his own tutoring company
Carl taught upper-level math in several schools and currently runs his own tutoring company. He bets that no one can beat his love for intensive outdoor activities!
Solving a more involved absolute value greater than problem. The first step for this is to always isolate your absolute value term. A common mistake is to want to make your two equations without isolating that. It's always going to end wrong for you.
So what you first always want to do is to get this by itself. First step in that, adding the 9 over, the 3 absolute value stays the same, 15 plus 9 is 24. Next step in isolating that absolute value, is dividing that by 3. 2x plus 4 is greater than 8.
So once we have our absolute value by itself, is then that we can actually split these up and make our two equations. First equation is just going to stay the same. So this just goes to 2x plus 4 is greater than 8. The other equation 2x plus 4 stays the same. We need to flip our inequality sign, it becomes a less than and take the opposite of the number we are dealing with -8. Remember that we are dealing with a absolute value greater, think of as or which turns into a union. It's either going to be one or the other.
Now we just have a union of two linear inequalities, solve them out as you would before. So subtract 4, 2x is greater than 4, x is greater than 2. Taking the union of that, put the answer from this subtract 4 from both sides. 2x is less than -12, x is less than -6. We are dealing with the union of, it's a little bit spread out. Let's rewrite over here.
We are dealing with the union of x greater than 2, and x is less than -6. We want a visual representation to see actually what's going on. We can draw our number line -6. Open circle because it's not equal to. We're dealing with 2 going up. And remember the union is just where one element is. So in this case, one element is less than -6, one element is greater than 2, we're just dealing with the union though. I tend to write things in interval notation. So that will be negative infinity to -6, soft bracket, union of 2 to infinity.
There you go. Always make sure you get your absolute value by itself before you do anything else.

"Four System Boundaries for Carbon Accounts"
Ecological Modelling
By Zhu Liu, Giorgio Ruffolo Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Sustainability Science Program/Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group, Kuishuang Feng, Klaus Hubacek, Sai Liang, Laura Diaz Anadon, Assistant Professor of Public Policy; Associate Director, Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program; Co-PI, Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group, Chao Zhang, Former Giorgio Ruffolo Fellow, Sustainability Science Program/Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group, 2012July 2013 and Dabo Guan
Knowing the carbon emission baseline of a region is a precondition for any mitigation effort, but the baselines are highly dependent on the system boundaries for which they are calculated. On the basis of sectoral energy statistics and a nested provincial and global multi-regional inputoutput model, the authors calculate and compare four different system boundaries for China's 30 provinces and major cities.

"...[A]ttention is turning to solar geoengineering, also known as solar radiation management. Although the concept of injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere has so far been tested only using computer simulations, there's high confidence that it would work to cool the Earth because it would mimic the well-understood cooling effect of large volcanic eruptions."

Put Strategy, Not People, First: An Introduction to Differentiated Workforce Strategy
Brian E. Becker, Mark A. Huselid, Richard W. Beatty
Publication Date:Apr 20, 2009Discipline:Human Resource ManagementSource:Harvard Business Press Chapters |
Product number:3237BC-HCB-ENG Length:32p |

English Hardcopy Black & White | $ 6.93
Senior managers and readers of popular business literature are probably familiar with the mantra that people are the new source of competitive advantage. But despite all the talk about a new strategic emphasis on the workforce, most companies haven't yet capitalized on the opportunity for strategic success that effective workforce management can provide. The authors believe that a fundamental change in the entire approach to workforce strategy is needed. In this chapter, they describe a new approach--called differentiated workforce strategy--and outline why differentiation is essential to strategic success. This chapter was originally published as chapter 1 of "The Differentiated Workforce: Transforming Talent into Strategic Impact."
learning objective:
To introduce differentiated workforce strategy as an alternative approach to traditional workforce management and outline the four stages of differentiation.
subjects covered:
Human capital; Human resource management; Work force management

Cindy, God bless you for reaching out to Pra4pce2, and I also see a prayer, God's graces for you have enabled you to reach out, in the midst of your own grief and try to help another mom who is also having a rough time. And that's wonderful and very charitable of you. Our Lord and Blessed Mother are working in your life, it's very plain to see in your wonderful post to Pra4pce2, so whether you realize it or not, you've just posted your 1st prayer! God is blessing you and will continue to do so and we will all still pray for you, may the peace of Our Lord be with you, |

I have not lost a child physically but did walk through this with my sister when she lost her 16 year old son. I have never seen or felt such pain and sadness. So many what ifs....I am going thorugh a rebellious 18 year old who is running from the Lord and that is also quite painful to watch. I pray god does giv eyou blessign and strenght to deal with this permanent loss. What would we do with out the hope of Jesus and Heaven? |
shaner 7/25/2001 10:32 |
AMYOLGERS, I'm so happy that you found this Circle and know that you have been prayed for. I'm also very sorry to hear of the losses of two little ones from your family. It's very hard to understand the big "why" and I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you or would anyone else, but God Himself. Some of us are here for only a short while, and others are here for longer times, I myself, just have to believe that whatever reason God sent them here to us as parents and loved ones, and then brought them back home to Him was for a reason that only He knows. It doesn't stop the hurting or longing, but we have to put our trust in Him, for He does know best. I pray for peace for your family, for spiritual strength and that God bless you as you all go through this grief and He will be tender with you. Our prayers are with all of you. |
Angelwings35235 7/25/2001 12:45 |
My heart and my prayers go out to each and every one of you that have lost a loved one. I lost my 29 year old stepson on March 18, 2001 to suicide. I have only been married to his dad for a year and a half and only had the joy of knowing him for a short while but in that short while we grew very close to the point of to his I was his "Mom". My stepson was sexually abused by his biological mother for several years and I know, could not continue to deal with the pain. Please pray for me and my family that God will touch each and every one of us and help us through this difficult time, especially for his sister. She is blaming everyone, me, my daughter and her father. She has turned her back on our family because she cannot understand why her brother did such a tragic thing. She is searching for answers she will never findd. Please pray for her that God will give her peace of mind. Thank you so much! |
shaner 7/25/2001 18:03 |
Angelwings35235, I'm so very sorry to hear of your stepson. My heart and prayers go out to you and the family. He is out of pain now and at peace finally. I know that doesn't help very much to hear at the beginning, but he has the peace that only God can give him. Your stepdaughter is reacting very normally, at the beginning we blame everyone and everything, including God, so just try and be there for her or wait for her to come around. She needs her family so very much right now, she's just lost a beloved brother, and as I said, it's very normal to blame other's for our losses. I/we will pray for you and the rest of the family that God's tender love and the peace that only He can give enfold your family now and give you all the necessary spiritual strength to deal with this sad loss. God bless, |
Shaner, My thoughts & prayers are with you. I lost my son in May 2001.It is devastating to lose a loved one to begin with but, losing a child is very difficult to deal with. A parent is not supposed to bury a child, but vise versa. I try to take"One day at a time" hoping to get through this. May God be with you always. |
shaner 7/27/2001 12:05 |
Hi KIM151, thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. I too am sorry to hear of the loss of your own beloved son. It is devastating to lose a loved one, but losing a child is a very different pain and ache, much worse than any other loss I have experienced. Your philosophy of life is a very good one, just think about today, one day at a time as you say, it's a lot better to deal with grief if you just take life that way. Our thoughts and prayers are with you also and may God bless you too. |
shaner 7/27/2001 18:00 |
KIM151, thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. I am so sorry also to hear of your own loss of your beloved son. Yes, it is very devastating to lose a loved one, but losing a child is a unique loss and pain all of it's own. Your philosophy of life is much like my own, one day at a time, getting through each day to the best of my ability and not thinking too far ahead, it just reminds you of the future you've lost along with your child. May God also be with you always, |
Sunflower330 7/28/2001 10:16 |
My Prayers go out to those whom have lost children. May you find comfort in knowing that the Lord will keep you and guide you. Continue to have faith for "this battle is not yours alone" |
DeeSea 7/28/2001 13:02 |
I lost my daughter Michelle just a week ago and we are in the pain of the loss of her. I cannot believe that she went before me...She was hit by a car five months ago, had a traumatic head injury and just passed. I need your prayers for her and for myself and her children. She has two children, ages 12 and 14. I just need to know that she is now OK and free of pain. I will be taking this one day at a time as the pain is still too great. Thank you. |
shaner 7/28/2001 14:33 |
Sunflower330, we greatly appreciate your prayers and your kind words. Thank you so much for posting here, I'm happy that you took the time and trouble to add your own prayers and thoughts for us all. May God bless you. |
shaner 7/28/2001 14:42 |
DeeSea, I'm so sorry to hear that your beloved daughter has passed. It must have been so difficult on you, her children and the rest of the family these past 5 months, and then lose Michelle. I know that Michelle is OK, and out of pain. In time you will too. We never expect to outlive our children, do we. That's the only way to deal with the grief and the pain, one day at a time. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you, your Michelle and her children at this traumatic time for all of you. May God wrap you in His loving arms and give you the spritiual strength to deal with your loss. |

DeeSea. My thoughts are with you and your prescious daughter and grandchildren. I too lost my daughter, Kristina, 20, in March of this year. I feel your pain and anguish and can only hope you find peace, a little each day. |
ohmay 7/31/2001 13:28 |
Dear God, I ask that you comfort every grieving parent. Let every one who is hurting and suffering a loss realize that you oh Lord is our Balm in Gilead. Dear Lord, please be with them and comfort them in this time of grief. |
shaner 7/31/2001 17:17 |
ohmay, thank you so much for your prayer. I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your co-worker's son, so very young. May the family be wrapped in the arms of God and may He give them the spiritual and physical strength that they need at this time. |
NMmom 8/1/2001 04:06 |
Please pray for my daughter Rachel. 2 yrs ago my granddaughter was murdered by my daughter's live-in boyfriend. Elizabeth had just turned 4 yrs old. My daughter refused to grieve. Instead she acted-out and took drugs so that she would not feel sad. Last week she was placed in a pysch. unit in a jail in AZ. the pain of loosing my granddaughter and my daughter( emotionally) is more than I can express. My daughter has been diagnosed as bi-polar. She is non-compliant re: medication. Pray that the Lord will comfort her and that she will accept his comfort and healing. NMmom |
shaner 8/1/2001 18:04 |
NMmom, your Rachel will be prayed for here. I am so sorry to hear of your grandaughter's murder and the devastating effects on her mom and you. |
p84grl 8/2/2001 08:10 |
I pray that God will give each and every one here who has suffered the worst loss there is His comfort and peace of mind. I lost my daughter Olivia when she was only 3 days old. The pain never goes away but it is a tremendous comfort to me to be a part of this circle and I thank God for this. I will pray for you all and ask that you please pray for us. |
shaner 8/2/2001 13:24 |
p84grl, I am so happy you found this Circle and know that you will be prayed for, just as you pray for others. I am so sorry to hear of your little Angel passing on, my heart goes out to you and your family. Our Heavenly Father knows of the pain we go through and He is there with us as we go up the Journey of Grief. May God bless you and yours. Little Olivia is now your own special advocate and Angel for you and she watches over you and all until one day you will be reunited with her. |

Will there by a sign? Our family is deeply grieving the loss of our beautiful little Raven. We brought her home from the hospital at 7 1/2 mos, having been four months premature, she was our delightful foster daughter/sister for 2 1/2 yrs. When an adoptive family was identified for her we realized that the people could never take care of her because she had a tracheostomy. We fought against her going to that home with everything we had. Alas, the State moved her to that home and 2 1/2 mos later she died from neglect, alone and with no voice to call for help. For the 2 1/2 years she was with us she was my whole life. Loving her and caring for her was such a purpose for me and gave me infinite peace and purpose although not much sleep! I know in my heart that her last moments were in panic trying to breathe when no breath would come. Where oh where was her "momma"? How could I have let her down so terribly? Her life was only beginning and she brought so much joy to ours. I saw the train coming and could do nothing to stop it. She struggled with many, many complications when she was in the NICU for all those months and overcame them all, she was a fighter but in the end no amount of fighting could combat neglect. The sadness I feel is so utterly profound and I fear permanent. |
shaner 8/6/2001 08:14 |
kids1st, what a heart-wrenching story! What that poor little child went through should never happen to anyone. I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart, what pain you all must be in and not even have her to bury yourselves. But please don't blame yourself, just think, the only love and care this little soul received was from you and your family, so you are to be celebrated, and no guilt should take hold of you or your family. You know in your heart there was nothing you could have done to stop it, the fault lies with the adoptive family, the State, the Social Workers, etc. Pray that something positive will come out of little Raven's death, that it will be a wake-up call for all concerned! My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family, and celebrate the short life that you had with Raven, who is safely home now. She brought joy and love into your lives, and she should be honoured for that. Will there be a sign? I believe so, so many of us have had them, she just may 'come' to you in your sleep in the form of a wonderful dream. You are in the depths of grief and sorrow right now, it's of course very normal, but it is an awful place to be, isn't it. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family now, and as I said, hopefully something positive will come out of Raven's tragedy. God bless you, |

We have been debating between WL, AKL, and Poly for our September 14 trip. Realizing that they will have construction going on then I'm thinking I want to take Poly out of the equation. Which is fine since it's the most expensive. I was at BCR when they were going through a refurb and it was fine. Didn't bother us at all. But, I've read many complaints about the GF construction and some seemed very bothered by it. I'm wondering if this will be similar.
I think it's all a matter of opinion. I have read a lot of complaints about the DVC construction at the GF, but I've also read a lot of reports from others who weren't bothered by it and had a great stay. I'm not one that's bothered by construction, but I can see how it can effect some people and make them book a different resort. If DVC at the Poly does go forward, I wouldn't not book the Poly because of it (but that's just ME). With that said, we've also stayed at WL and AKL and both are awesome resorts, so you can't go wrong with either one should you choose not to go with the Poly.
I'm not trying to hijack this post but I have a question.....Is the construction at the Poly to add DVC rooms? That would be great news I have always wanted to stay at the Poly but our family is to big. We rent points and would love for the Poly to be an option for our next trip
Right now they are redoing all of the rooms/longhouses, but talk of DVC is coming up more and more lately. I haven't been following it as we are not DVC members and never stay in the villas, but rumor has it that Poly DVC construction will start toward the end of this year/beginning of next year. I hope you get to stay there one day....the Poly is an awesome resort .
Those are still rumors. Like Tikiman I've been told things but I've learned over 56 years of going to Disney Parks (obviously starting with Disneyland) that with Disney I don't fully trust things until I hear an official announcement. Even then things can change. Will there be a DVC at the Poly? Most likely it's sure being looked at with planning diagrams around. What will it be like? Well, that I'm waiting on the announcement for because that can change even at the last minute the way the decision making goes. Will it start in Sept? Not likely but not impossible given that if there is an announcement it's probably in August so there would be ramp up time needed. And, it's even possible, though with the interest in having a DVC, much less likely that there won't be one at all. My learned hesitation/distrust with Disney planning just won't let me be 100% confident of anything at this point.
I hope it's DVC construction. If they refurbish the place I'd definitely be interested in buying there.

I'm at Uni at the moment which involves taking lots of notes and keeping track of my days, and although i'm a big moleskine fan was finding it too expensive to replace them at the speed i was getting through them, as at £9 a pad it's not cheap!
Well it must of bein meant to be, at the end of the stationary isle was a huge shelf full of reduced pukka pads! There was a huge 400 page one which i got for £1.99, aswell as the pack of 3 smaller ones for a tiny £4.89! I was chuffed after knowing how expensive they can be full price.
The paper as mentioned is great quality. It's actually nice to write on as with a nice pen it just flows, it does show through on the other side a tiny bit but for anyone who has a moleskine - it definetly doesn't show through as much as them! In fact it's barely noticeable and i was easily able to write on both sides.

GWC Concrete Restoration photo gallery. Before and after photos of concrete restoration.
We are a proud Angie's List Award winner for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 & 2013.
The company came highly recommended from Angie's List. So we went with him. He was friendly. The whole experience was very good and he did everything he said he would. They cleaned up really nicely. We are loving our patio.
This was just a wonderful experience... Gordon was extremely nice and explained everything to us along the way. He was always available when we had questions and was very patient with us. His workers were great. They worked very hard and always cleaned up after themselves. The patio is amazing. We are so happy with it and highly recommended Gordon and his crew. We can't wait to use the patio this summer and will be using GWC decorative concrete again to install a walkway around the house soon. Thank you Gordon, you are awesome.

Its that time of year again, yep Supercar Sunday . This year its on June 2nd starting at 8am until 12pm. Any supercar will be allowed in and this years additional theme is celebrating 50 years of Mclaren and the Porsche 911. i woudl suggest you get there early before 8.45 otherwise the ques to get in will be massive if it is anything like previous years. More information here http://www.goodwood.co.uk/breakfast-club/whats-on/... so who is interested?
Sounds like it could be a good meet, a nice early rise means quiet roads & no traffic! I have put it in my diary
I've been for the past few years now.... Can be a complete shambles as it is so popular and the roads around Goodwood come to a complete standstill. I would recommend getting there for as early as possible. I got there just after 8am last year and we didn't get in a parked up until 9:15ish. There's usually a run I do before hand as well - but drop me a PM if your interested in that side of things as it's a very early start!
How early? If I live in Reading, its an hours drive maybe! So now i am thinking its a 6am departure, then i am bound to need several breakfast stops! Not to mention my old Audi is more of a cruiser
I travel from CT18 mate so no need to mention early rising! lol I usually meet up with other petrolheads at Guildford and take a nice route at a brisk pace and arrive about 8ish as some of the cars that come along make it onto the grid I expect to be on the road before 5am...in fact this Sunday just gone I had my alarm set for 3:30am and was in central London for 5:15am! Ended up at Goodwood actually for the breakfast club (soft top Sunday)

Westfield Softball Wins Back-to-Back UCT Championships Defeating Gov. Livingston, 5-2
Saturday, May 10, 2014 • 10:13pm
LINDEN, NJ - For the second consecutive year, Westfield Varisty Softball proved to be the better team, defeating Gov. Livingston, 5-2, in the UCT Championship on Saturday at Flanagan Field in Linden.
"We knew they were going to be a really tough team," said Westfield Head Coach Caitlin MacDonald. "We had already beat them twice. We knew they were going to show up to play."
A two-run blast by Shannon Schaefer gave Westfield the early 2-0 lead in the first frame.
"Enough pressure was put on us going into an early deficit in the first inning. They chipped away and got another run. We weren't able to chip away at that lead," said Gov. Livingston Coach Mike Roof. "We were too nervy coming in at the beginning of the game and didn't do enough with runners in scoring positions when we had opportunities."
Westfield opened the fourth inning swinging. Becca Kaufman ripped a double to drive Sam Velez home for the 3-0 lead.
Gov. Livingston right fielder Colleen Franks came through on the defense with a short pop catch for the third out.
Kacie Worswick smacked a double down the right field line to spark the offensive momentum for the Lady Highlanders. Grace Sanzalone followed with a bunt to advance Missy Quinn [pinch runner] to third while getting out on first. The inning would end leaving Quinn in scoring position.
"We didn't do enough with runners in scoring positions when we had opportunities," said Roof. "They [Westfield] had runners on second and third and they had the big hit and got the runners in. We had one big hit. That was the difference."
Carolynne Goldbeck would get the sole RBIs for GL in the fifth to bring the Lady Highlanders within one. She launched a double bringing Hewett and Frank home.
With two outs and tying run on second, Worswick smashed a ball to left field caught by Becca Kaufman, who dove for a "catch of a lifetime."
"Up against the fence, half on the ground - you can't ask for anything more than that," said MacDonald. "Without that defense you are not going to win the game."
Kaufman dove to catch a ball like any other catch. "I forgot what kind of game we were in. I went out, played and had fun. I figured why not get a little dirty," said Kaufman.
Westfield added two more runs with an RBI from Bobbi Snyder in the sixth and Schaefer in the seventh. "One thing we did really well, we were challenged and we kept getting gritty adding one run at a time. They are a really good team and they played really well today. We had to do the little things and we managed to do that," said MacDonald.
Gov. Livingston would have one more attempt in the sixth with two on base from back-to-back singles by Alex Foley and Hayley Berliner. Payton Murphy would appear to be hit by a pitch to load the bases. The plate umpire ruled a strike and the ball hit the bat. The inning would end with two on base.
"I think Caroline [Hewett] did a valiant job. We could have been better in all areas. Leaving the runners stranded in the middle didn't help us," said Roof. "Maybe on another day it's a different result."
"Both teams played a really solid game, we just happened to get a few more hits," said MacDonald.

Ok so i live in California and i've just been enlightened to the fact i can order and register a non-listed lower. I like the stuff from Rock Rive Arms and Stag. I can also have full clips. The only catch is i can't have a pistol grip/stock with a thumb hole/J-hook for thumb, or any other "scary" features, so... what can i use to hold the gun?? with out a pistol grip it's giong to be a pain/impossible but any ideas? links + pics would be a plus. I was thinking something like this?? I just did it in photoshop real quick.

i would rather move than shoot something that hideous looking.
and its mags not clips unless you are referring to the clips used to load the mags from the top. |

[Last Edit: 5/3/2006 3:01:58 AM EST by Head_Space]
I am not aware of an option for a non-pistol-grip or thumbhole stock for the AR. That does not mean that one does not exist, but i would not get my hopes up. Living in the PRK (Peoples Republic of Kalifornia) has its own special rewards as far as gun regs go....
Even though you identify them as clips, they are really magazines as Ek... was quick to point out--- have no fear we knew what it was that you were talking about.... BTW: Welcome to ARFCOM..... Let us know if you uncover any "stock" options that will work for you.... |
Posted: 5/3/2006 4:25:10 AM EST
Hahaha. Now that is one hideous looking rifle. I agree with the first reply
Posted: 5/3/2006 4:31:52 AM EST
You would need a custom made lower to not have a pistol grip the pistol grip mount is machined into the lower.. Remember the buffer tube is an important part of the upper / stock construction so in order to have a Monte Carlo stock you would need to remove the buffer tube.
If you had an AR without a buffer tube (I know they exist, I just forget what the heck they are called) and a custom made lower, it could indeed be possible. And it could look like you chop photo. I live in Illinois and even I feel sorry for you guys in Kali. efxguy |

Holy crap! I just about fell out of my chair when I saw that mutant AR.
Man, I must be tired or something. Each time I scroll back up to look at it I laugh as hard as I did the first time... Laughing so hard I posted this in the wrong spot! |
Posted: 5/7/2006 12:52:56 AM EST
A thumbhole type stock won't even get you legal?! Damn, time to move. I thought one of these would work cause it is not actually a "pistol grip"

That's ATF approved, but not CAL-DOJ approved. The easiest way to build Kaliban ARs, is with a fixed 10rd magazine, then you can use any of the other evil features. |

[Last Edit: 5/8/2006 10:51:31 AM EST by HardShell]
T-hole stocks have been around for ARs for years, but I believe they have been declared not to exempt a firearm from PG consideration (because the PG is still very evident/usable, albeit "surrounded), but maybe someone more conversant in CA AWB law can clarify/correct me here... ETA: Okay, I see he said T-hole is a no-go in the initial post. Sorry! I have one of the B&C thumbhole stocks (referenced above) that I have had/used for years and it is far more comfortable than you might suspect. I had it for sale on EE for a while, then decided to keep it - I am going to use it on my 6.8SPC deer rifle (I usually use a colored stock for instant differentiation of my non-5.56mm ARs, but I don't want a brightly-colored stock on my deer-huntin' AR... ). |
Posted: 5/8/2006 10:50:03 AM EST
Forgot about the fixed 10 round AR's...... Bushmaster has one that is California approved.... Take note however that it is a "top-loader"..... I wont even try to describe it if you havent seen it....... Bushmaster Top Loader Good luck.... |

Shigeru Ban: Emergency Housing in Onagawa
At Onagawa in Miyagi Prefecture, the Shigeru Ban Architects conducted the operation of housing for survivors of the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. Towering over 3 levels, the buildings are constructed from transport containers stacked on 3 levels, a process that reduces construction time while providing excellent resistance to earthquakes. Offering three levels of 20, 30 and 40 m2 and can accommodate from 1 to more than 4 persons depending on the apartment, these units can be used as permanent housing. On this project, the agency Shigeru Ban Architects states: "Since the 3.11 earthquake, we have visited more than 50 evacuation facilities and installed over 1800 units (2mx2m) of our Paper Partition System, to ensure privacy between families. During that time, I heard the news that the town of Onagawa was having dif? culty to construct enough temporary housing due to the insuf? cient amount of ? at land. Therefore, we decided to propose three-story temporary housing made from shipping containers. By stacking these containers in a checkerboard pattern, our system creates bright, open living spaces in between the containers. The standard temporary houses issued by the government are poorly made, and there is not enough storage space. We installed built-in closets and shelves in all of our houses with the help of volunteers and with the donation fund. It will become a breakthrough and precedent to new government standards of evacuation facilities and temporary housing."

Not the play he got hurt on at least though. Why the canary 1/1 and superfractor 1/1 though?

The worst thing to say to someone TTC
(167 Posts)I've just been reading another thread about how long it has taken people to conceive, and there were some comments made (but not in a nasty way) that make me feel so very uncomfortable!!
I'm 8+6 with my first but it took 12 very long months to get my BFP, and in those last 12 months I've realised some things should never ever be said to a person TTC!
"It'll happen"
"These things take time"
"It only took us a month, my husband thinks he has super sperm"
Anything else?
"I'm pregnant"
"When are you going to have children?"
"Don't leave it too late"
"Well, it does get harder as you get older"
"I've never regretted having mine young"
"Career women like you who put it off often regret it"
I think the last one is my favourite - silly me, for delaying TTC until I had a man I wanted to have DCs with rather than just wandering down Union Street with no knickers on shouting "Come on, I'm getting old, impregnate me now while my ovaries are still working." It's got nothing to do with my bloody career! And I'm 35, not 55 FFS.
Can you tell that this is starting to get to me after 18 months TTC and one MC?
"When are you going to have a baby?"
"You'll never have a baby if you wait until you can afford it". I appreciate that babies are expensive and yes you have to make sacrifices etc but we want to wait until DH has got the job he wants, which would allow us to have more disposable income, both of us could work more flexibly and be a lot happier than if we had a baby now and had to struggle through! We're 22 and 27, waiting another 18 months isn't that long!
Weather I had similar from my MIL, the pressure from her had been pretty constant, before we got married it was about babies, then after the wedding it was even more about babies.
I did feel like saying
"Im sorry we've waited until we both have decent jobs, and a nice littel house, and we're married, I really should've jumped your sons bones as soon as I met him"
in all fairness it hasn't really got much better, when we told her, she was very happy and emotional but then came out with
"oh thank god for that, I thought it would never happen, or when it did I'd be too old to do anything"
gee thanks!!!
I'm pregnant
Stop trying it will happen
Relax and just go on holiday
wow that long,my husband only just has to look at me and i'm pregnant
Perhaps u are trying too hard
Omg i'm pregnant again, it happened so quick,
if its maent to be it be happen, if its not it won't
Trust me after 5 years i could write a book!!!!!
My personal favourite is "my husband only has to look at me and I'm pregnant"
Someone at work said that they other day, before I could stop myself I said "do you think he would mind looking at me?" My DH couldn't stop laughing when I told him.
Hi Sparks
Cross post Blonde
I really hate the your trying too hard comment.
I once hear a DJ say "My wife and I only ha to think about having a baby and she got pregnant" on a show discussing infertility and IVF.
but generally being told to relax, i think, is the worst. just fuck off you ignorant, stupid, insensitive twat.
"My husband only has to look at me and I'm pregnant."
"Relax and it'll happen"
"My brother's uncle's godchild's sister was trying for ages and then decided to stop, went on holiday and came back pregnant!"
"haha mine were accidents"
Yeh, because having unprotected sex is an "accident". You don't ACCIDENTALLY get pregnant unless you're an idiot.
"We weren't even properly trying"
What? You mean he spunked in a plastic bag in the shed or did he ejaculate in your vagina? The latter is correlated with pregnancy.
Endless variations of "have you tried...?" from people who got pregnant glancing at a sperm.
cupcakes love what you said to your colleague, really made me laugh!
Someone I know who is exactly my age (31) with three kids was asked if she was pregnant because she wasn't drinking, and said "oh no I'm too old to be having babies now!". Great thanks for that as I struggle on ttc #1!
Yep the 'try and relax' thing is annoying. And telling me not to google or go on to mumsnet, as if it's that causing all my stress!
Yup, "I'm pregnant" is a right killer! And I have to be so happy when I hear it! Even if I am really happy for them, I'm devastated for me. Selfish aren't I?!
And some variety of "you better hurry up and get on with it" or other references to age - but I never know what to say because we are trying, just not having a great deal of luck, and have been a lot longer than most now. I just don't want to discuss it with everyone else, because quite frankly it is none of their business.
Thankfully both sets of parents are rather more sensitive and never mention it, as they both know and understand it is a bit more complicated than that for us than most people. For reasons that are unrelated to TTC.
Right bitter cow aren't I?!
You don't ACCIDENTALLY get pregnant unless you're an idiot.
Wow, so all those people whose contraceptives fail are idiots. That's nice to know.
The one I hated was
"Whose fault is it?"
People seem to think you will give them chapter and verse of exactly why you aren't pregnant.
And the other one that really upset me was saying "oh, well, at least you didn't get pregnant and have a miscarriage like X" - X being a friend who did have a miscarriage (and I sympathised with her) but also had three children and subsequently had two more. While I was still trying for my first.
I am ashamed to say when my DS1 was about 3 weeks old and I was feeling like I'd been in a train crash, I told a friend of mine who was having problems TTC to 'be careful what she wished for'.
Thanks Charlotte it's without doubt the funniest thing I've said in years so I've been dying to share it
Please tell me 31 isn't too old, I'm 31 in 3 weeks & have been ttc for 2 years
Mary I hate it when people try to make you feel better by comparing your pain. Most people do it as they don't know what to say.
So what is a good thing to say?
Any kind of "advice" from someone who got pregnant easily is a no go. If you got pregnant easily then TTC is whole different game for you than it is for me. You don't know better just because you conceived, you may know better for you and for others in your exact situation but you know nothing about mine.
gnushoes I think for any such situation, there isn't really anything you can say other than offering the person support if they need it.
Hi Cup
I too hate the "he only has to look at me" er, pretty sure thats not how you get pregnant!!! but love your response!!!
Freaky you may be missing the point of the thread slightly, a place for people who are TTC or have TTC for a long time to have a bit of a bitter rant about things that people say that irk them. Sometimes when you are TTC and someone says something like "I've got three children, and I was on the pill each time I got pregnant" then yes it does make you want to scream!!!
Gnu I told a couple of people that we were TTC but it was a general rule that they only talked about it when I bought it up, and normally it was just so that I could have a bit of rant.
Willyou I think thats probably an easy mistake to make, but I bet you wouldnt make the same mistake again!!
gnushoes the best thing anyone has done was a good friend who, after the arrival of the seemingly millionth baby to mutual friends, dropped me a little text saying "how are you? All these babies can't be easy for you". Supportive, kind, not judgy or patronising in the slightest.

AC Schnitzer BMW 6-series Gran Coupe
Powerful dynamics, sporting performance and exclusive elegance in perfect form became available with the BMW 6-series Gran Coupé. Tuning fans can rejoice: once again AC Schnitzer has reinvented the top class four-door coupé.
With a performance upgrade from 313 to 360 HP in the BMW 640d and from 320 to 360 HP in the 640i, AC Schnitzer again impressively demonstrates that there are no upper limits to dynamics and sporting performance. The concentrated power band widened by the Aachen specialists with intelligent technology is documented by the AC Schnitzer engine bay styling for the 6-series Gran Coupé. The AC Schnitzer twin sports rear silencer with chromed "Sports Trim" tailpipes (right/left), also available in export version, provides the matching sound track. (more…)
