I just received my order yesterday. I ordered last minute... 50 sea shell wedding program fans. I thought they would be perfect for our beach wedding and they absolutely ARE! The colours are exactly as depicted on the site and in the proofs. The site was a little tricky to figure out at first (e.g. I got kicked out of my proof a few times because I did a ton of font changes and played around with colours alot) but I got the hang of it. I was also worried about the order arriving in time as I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and it arrived in 10 days (6 business days) - with time to spare! Highly recommend! Don't both with DIY - this is WAY easier, not cheap but worth every penny because the product is stunning! I can't wait to share with our wedding guests.

Here is a list I compiled about 25 years ago on symptoms that a group was a cult.
1. Are members expected to obey the leader without question at all times?
2. Do the group members show a lack of humor? Are they unable to joke about their membership in the group?
3. If retreats or residential programs, or group living are involved does the food available have a low protein content and a poor nutritional value?
4. Does the group leadership benefit financially while ordinary group members suffer?
5. Does the group promote an "end of the world" or "something great is about to happen" attitude?
6. Are group members and leadership unwilling to acknowledge the legitimacy of other groups?
7. Is there an "Us against Them" mentality?
8. Does study within the group involve listening to long repetitive lectures, especially under conditions of physical duress (e.g., tired from physical work, seated for long periods without breaks, run-down from poor diet)?
9. Is one of the main priorities for group members the recruitment of new members?
10. Do group members describe their reasons for being in the group, and the benefits that membership provides only in vague generalities?
11. Are proported experiences that cannot be described treated as if they had significant spiritual value?
12. Does the group encourage or discourage cult-like behavior in its members?
Every group may exhibit some of these symptoms in greater or lesser degree, and in every group there will be individuals whose psychological make-up is such that they engage in cultish behavior. Legitimate groups will discourage this.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
Tinted shields sold separately. For daytime use only.
*Note : Helmet comes with clear shield. Tinted shields (shown) sold seperately
How to Measure a proper helmet SIZING: To measure your head size, wrap a tape measure horizontally around your forehead.
Select the helmet that is the closest fit to that size. A helmet should fit snug on your head. If it moves while wearing, it is too large.
If it is painful to wear, it is too small. For proper sizing, your nearest dealer will be able to help you get sized up. FITTING: Open the
chin straps and slide the helmet onto your head starting at the forehead. A helmet should feel snug. If it slides on easily it is too big.
It should feel tight to pull down. Make sure the inner padding fits snug all around. You should feel the padding pressing against your cheeks and head.
The last check for a proper fit is to test if it moves while wearing, there should be no movement if you shake your head. Place your hands on the helmet
and move it front to back and side-to-side. If there is a lot of movement, try a size down.
I really like this brand. They just seem to get it.
Speed and Strength makes some of the highest quality
motorcycle apparel you can
buy. They also understand that not every rider can afford the upper epsilon
level of gear. So, they make affordable versions of all their different types of
products. The Seven Sins and Trial By Fire Jackets, the Lunatic Fringe and new
Speed Strong gloves, and of course, the ss700 helmet; all high quality yet
affordably priced.
These helmets have some features I love and some that I don't. But, it would be
tough to find a better quality helmet that starts at less than 90 bucks.
The SS700 meets or exceeds DOT standards and has an A.T.P.A or Advanced Thermo
Poly Alloy shell. This is a fancy way of saying polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is
an excellent material for newer riders, because is reflects energy rather than
absorbing it. This means that it will take light bumps without cracking.
Polycarb does not provide as much head protection as say a fiberglass composite,
but it will definitely take more abuse.
This motorcycle helmet has an intermediate oval head-shape. This means that
unless you've got a five head like me, there's a pretty good chance that it's
gonna fit. Fit on this helmet is complemented by a pretty decent liner. It is
moisture wicking, washable, and fully removable; quite a feature for a helmet in
this price point. The liner is really simple to remove. Chin curtain-pull. Cheek
pads-pull from the top.Head liner-pull from the back to the front.Notice the
lack of fasteners of any kind on the headliner. They use a hook and loop set up
in the helmet itself. This reduces the possibility of hot spots.
Venting on the SS700 is pretty basic.The chin vent flows air to the shield to
help with fogging. The chimneys allow air to enter into the channels of the eps
and flow through the helmet. There aren't any venturi vents on this model. So,
unfortunately, the evacuation of heat and moisture is left up to these little
exhaust vents down here near the bottom ridge. Again, this helmet is 109 even
with the brand new Tap Out graffic.It's pretty tough to complain.
Let's look at the shield system. The SS700's All Clear Sight system is optically
correct, anti-scratch, and UV protectant. It is not fog free, however. Not to
worry, though.
Speed And Strength gives you the ability to upgrade. In fact, if you decide
to change the shield in any way, your replacement will be fog free. The Lock And
Load Rapid Conversion Shield Replacement System, also known as side plates, is
unfortunately where some of this helmets low price shows. The shield is a little
sticky when removing or installing. Like many current quick release systems,
this system utilizes a lever style quick release. You just actuate this lever
and presto. To reinstall the shield, simply press the shield against the
sideplate, actuate the lever, and make this face.Got it.
Lastly, we have the strap system. I like it. Don't get me wrong d-ring systems
are very effective but the ease of this system is awesome. Insert tab A into
slot b and adjust your strap. Now all you have to do to secure your helmet is
To take it off.This is a great feature to find on a value priced helmet.
Overall, Speed
and Strength's SS700 is an incredible value for a top name brand helmet.

Jingo (Mass Market Paperback)
It isn't much of an island that rises up one moonless night from the depths of the Circle Sea -- just a few square miles of silt and some old ruins. Unfortunately, the historically disputed lump of land called Leshp is once again floating directly between Ankh-Morpork and the city of Al-Khali on the coast of Klatch -- which is spark enough to ignite that glorious international pastime called "war." Pressed into patriotic service, Commander Sam Vimes thinks he should be leading his loyal watchmen, female watchdwarf, and lady werewolf into battle against local malefactors rather than against uncomfortably well-armed strangers in the Klatchian desert. But war is, after all, simply the greatest of all crimes -- and it's Sir Samuel's sworn duty to seek out criminal masterminds wherever they may be hiding ... and lock them away before they can do any real damage. Even the ones on his own side.

Wake Forest's Travis McKie was watching ESPN recently when a segment on the seemingly increasing advantages of playing at home in college basketball grabbed his attention.
And it occurred to the junior forward that the Demon Deacons aren't alone in their struggles on the road.
"It's a thing nationwide, not just Wake Forest," McKie said he told himself.
But another realization emerged, too.
"We've definitely got to play better on the road," McKie said. "We can't get blown out like we have the last two times. That's just unacceptable.
"I think the problem with us that makes it so hard to figure out is, it's so spread. We play so good here and then we play so bad on the road. But we've definitely got to get better, or make it closer at least."
Wake Forest's next chance at beginning to correct that drastic, Jekyll-and-Hyde contrast comes tonight at Boston College.
The Demon Deacons are 1-7 this season away from Joel Coliseum, with the only victory coming in December at UNC Greensboro.
In the Atlantic Coast Conference, Wake Forest is 0-6 in road games. And all except one of those defeats — a one-point loss at Virginia Tech — have been delivered by an average margin of 21 points.
Around campus, the corny joke goes that maybe Wake Forest — 6-1 in its last seven games at Joel Coliseum, with the lone loss coming against Duke — should try wearing its home white uniforms during away games.
"Yeah, we should look into that," senior guard C.J. Harris said, laughing. "Maybe that's a psychological thing."
Reserve guard Chase Fischer said, in more serious tones, that the Demon Deacons must generate more energy at the start of their road games.
The surroundings aren't comfortable, there's no tie-dyed, home crowd from which to draw juice, "so I think it's really more of a mindset, just getting down and doing it," Fischer said.
Fischer contributed 10 points off the bench in Saturday's 71-46 whipping of Florida State, Wake Forest's most lopsided victory this season, which stopped a four-game losing skid.
That marked Fischer's first double-digit scoring effort since Dec. 22, a byproduct, coach Jeff Bzdelik said, of better ball and player movement within the Demon Deacons' system.
"I think the last couple games it was too much dribbling," Bzdelik said, "and then guys wind up not taking open shots or the kind of shots we practice every day. We have to help each other shoot the ball. We've worked hard to get more movement."

Last week, we told you about our massive dog fighting bust that spanned multiple states and resulted in the removal of 367 dogs and puppies. We gave you an inside look with our on-the-scene video, and now we have a first-person account from the rescue. Below is a guest blog by Tim Rickey, Vice President of the ASPCA's Field Investigations & Response Team, reflecting on what he found during the raid and the terrible fate of dog fighting victims.
When I first walked on the property, I stared across the yard and saw more than 100 dogs, most of them tied to heavy log chains, anchored to dilapidated dog houses. The dogs ranged from old to young, living on a worn dirt ring that likely had seen generations of dogs come and go to a sad fate.
Most were chained nose-to-nose to their neighbors to ensure continuous arousal.
I first thought of what a grim fate many of these dogs would have met without our intervention that day. But as I looked at a young, weeks-old puppy with one glance, and an aging, 10-year-old senior with another, my thoughts quickly turned to the long, lonely and painful journey of a fighting dog's life.
This cycle begins with being chained at such an early age with little to no positive human or animal interaction. The burden continues with heavy chains, often with additional weights, to drag around their entire lives. The constant noise, arousal and anxiousness push them towards aggression to or from their yard mates. If they don't respond, their life may end quickly, but if they do, they have sealed their fate of a long, torturous life.
Their only reprieve from the chain is death or brief release to be tested against another dog, eventually going back to the chain with little attention to their wounds. What follows is weeks of intense training and significant human interaction with the person who will commit the ultimate betrayal and force them into a barbaric battle for entertainment and profit. If they survive, they go back again to the chain: A vicious cycle that could go on for years until these dogs finally have no value or fight left in them and are discarded.
Our responders are still on the ground, so please stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue.
If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA. Thank you for helping us support cruelty victims nationwide.
i have also knockd on oors as an animal advocate.tht is what i tell people that come t the door.ask them if they know there dogs chain is to tight or that the dog has no water(florida sweltering hot) or that th law says the dog must have shelter.most ay thy did not know dogs water tpped over or they were not aware.then i chck back fe times on the dog nd it continue i call animal control on them.
Actually, I lived in Indiana for 7 years, and they do have ASPCA helpers there. Maybe you just don't look hard enough. I adopted my cat, Susie, from an ASPCA Shelter in Indiana.
Well said Lucy! I am a recent empty nester wondering what to do with the extra time on my hands....maybe you just gave me an idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless~
thank you for stating what I would like to say. Please people, stand up for the rights of animals and help out the local shelters and spca and so on. If you don't have the time, donations offer assistance as well.
Lucy you are right on the money when it comes to the animals. They are the last to get any gov. funds (if they are a gov. agency) and the first to get cuts. I worked for a shelter for 16 yrs. and a vets for 2yrs. You wouldn't believe what we saw and the amount of animals put to sleep just because you didn't have space. I can't say it enough , get involved, spay and neuter.
Can't bear hands on work? How do you know he/she can't? As individuals you can't just go rescue every animal personally that needs rescuing - neither legally or financially or any other way. You'd just become another crazy hoarder that the animals need to be rescued from. Sometimes in rural areas and areas where there is only local animal control - not spca because face it - SPCA is about abuse and neglect. Animal Control deals with abuse and neglect but they are ANIMAL CONTROL. They pick up the discarded and at least in my neck of the woods - 90% of what walks through the door ends up being taken out the back door to the dump after being euthanized. Not their fault but the two entities are not even close to the same. Especially in rural farm type communities. I know someone who reported abuse of a rabbit to Animal Control and was rudely told "It's just a rabbit." by the woman who took the call at AC.
In my area we have several horse stable/rescue operations that are glorified hoarder heavens. I actually volunteer at one and have done so for years to do what I can to help. They do the best they can. That is all one can ever ask of someone...until it involves living breathing creatures. At that point when your best isn't good enough then you need to make changes and they don't. So the animals care suffers. They've been reported many, many times but its small town USA and they have friends that stick up for them so nothing happens even when they involved the state. The state comes out and looks at them and the when they ask about the worst cases they are given stories and excuses and are backed by some (not all) local officials.
So don't assume that people aren't doing anything. Sometimes people try but they are thwarted time and time again by the legal system.
I understand what your saying, but I hope it wasn't directed to just this one person that was just stating that she does t have an SPCA near her... I think we all knw if we are a part of the email that we all want to help. It sounded very be littling and if you meant it different then forgive me.....
What your saying to all who don't do anything is true everyone could do their part.
Thanks for putting it so sucinctly- right on the mark!
Thank you for your advice Lucy and your suggestions on how we can help.
Every can find a spare hour or 2. Exactly, get off your ass and do something. There is so many ways a single person can help and make a difference. Stop sitting around typing away at your computer and do something selfless, volunteer. We turn no one away. Your time spent is far more rewarding than your money.

National Statistics tell us that 1 in 5 college students will be sexually assaulted. This number is staggering. When presented with such a problem, there has to be a solution.
One of Saint Louis University's solutions is Green Dot. Green Dot is built on the premise that in order to measurably reduce the perpetration of power-based personal violence, a cultural shift is necessary. In order to create a cultural shift, a critical mass of people will need to engage in a new behavior or set of behaviors that will make violence less sustainable within any given community. That new behavior is a green dot.
A green dot is any behavior' choice' word or attitude that promotes safety for all our citizens and communicates utter intolerance for violence. A green dot is pulling a friend out of a high risk situation - a green dot is donating a few dollars to your local service provider - a green dot is putting a green dot message on your facebook page - a green dot is striking up a conversation with a friend or family member about how much this issue matters to you.
There will be Green Dot Institutes offered to train all students, faculty and staff on how to be active bystanders. You must have a SLU email account to register.
If you would like a Green Dot Institute scheduled for your organization/department, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You know you are playing Dark Souls when you die in the tutorial section :)
The postie delivered my copy yesterday. I was feeling quite confident after finally completing Dark Souls 1 a couple of weekends ago but i am finding it hard going atm. I'm not really sure why, but enemy AI does seem more aggressive and they seem to move faster.
My biggest concern is the losing of health when you die. Mine went down to about 50%, so 1 mistake was fatal. Its hard to get very far in that state and I really dont like this design choice. Death is punishment enough. How common are those effigy items? Reckon i might need a load of them.

The HP decrease upon death is a holdover from Demon's Souls. I'm happy it returned, personally, since it really teaches you not to take risks. If you're worried, you can get a Ring of Binding which stops your HP from decreasing below 75%, which should be enough for most things in a normal game, really. I don't remember where I got it, but it was pretty early on.

If you're wondering where the Ring of Binding is
It's right before the boss fight with the Old Dragonslayer, on a chest, in the Heide's Tower of Flame. You can get there by going all the way through the crypt in Majula

My problem with it is when I am ready to try the boss, if it takes me a lot of attempts to kill him, it gets harder and harder with each death. Im not really taking dumb risks, im having an attempt on a boss maybe trying different tactics in order to learn what works. Also part of the problem is that im no pro at DS :) and i dont use guides as I think that spoils the essence of the game.
I got to my first boss yesterday the Last Giant, Ive had about 10 attempts and come close but havent killed him yet. Keep getting stepped on! He does seem an easy boss, i just keep making 1 mistake and thats usually enough to kill me.
Having said the above i did get the white co-op stone and I think that is the answer. I put my sign down as a hollow (with 50% health cap) and helped out a couple of players to clear the level. Its a good way of sharpening the skills and at the end when i was sent back I was a human again with some nice souls gained. So if my repeated failures at killing the boss knock my health down too much, i'll do some jolly cooperation to become human without needing loads of effigies.
I've always played offline before as i despise pvp, but i found the co-op really fun, so i would recommend it to anyone having trouble like me.

There's a lot of debate right now about whether you're supposed to turn human again after using a white soapstone and clearing a boss. That's the way it works in Demon's Souls, but it seems to be completely random in this one. I've turned human after clearing a boss, after dying, and even after the host died. Then I've had situations where I've helped five people in a row with no change. I can't tell if it's bugged or if it's supposed to be random.

Hmm, finally beat it. I had to rush through due to having a ton to do next week and no time to play. Prepare for a blog, because I feel like I need to get this out of my system.
This is the first Souls game I don't quite feel like immediately starting a NG+ on. This is mostly because I find the areas and bosses terribly polarizing; I love some, loathe others, there's no real middle ground. I'll be blunt: this game has the worst area in the entire series, and not just because of poison or bad FPS. It has pre-patch Izalith's problem in that enemies agro from halfway across the area, paired with a few other particularly annoying traits that I won't spoil for those who haven't been there. I do think they'll patch it and make it easier, like Izalith, but for now it's miserable.
In the end, I wasn't too happy with the way Sorcery was handled. To even kill bosses in the second half of the game I had to level Faith so I could use Hexes for halfway decent damage. Also hoping for a patch here, because I do think it hindered my enjoyment.
I was a bit cautious about the limited respawns at first, but ended up appreciating this in a few areas. I don't quite understand why people are complaining
so much
about this.
The main story is actually very well shown this time. It's far less obscure. You do have to exhaust everyone's talk options, though.
I find the cycle of Fire and Dark to be the most interesting part of the lore primarily introduced here, but otherwise didn't find it as
interesting as Dark 1's or Demon's.
I was very impressed with the frame rate overall compared to Demon's and Dark 1. I was expecting dropsdropsdrops in two particular wide, open areas but they never really happened. I had a few drops in more enclosed, later areas, though.
Kudos to From for adding new, brutal boss mechanics on NG+. I haven't done them myself, but hearing about them seems brutal. They silenced everyone who complained about a lack of replay value with that. (Do people actually complain about lack of replay value in these games? I find part of the fun is trying out new builds).

Finished it last night too, and I think the game picked up quite a bit in the last few areas. I think I know exactly which place you're talking about, Cyril....
Shrine of Amana and those mages, yes? I had to kite the shit out of them with my bow. Feels like arrows are necessary for tricky parts like this and the fucking ogres in Aldia's Keep. God, that hallway was a bitch, especially with the red phantom who showed up because I'm an idiot and won't listen!
The difficulty in the last few zones is absolutely crazy. Most enemies will kill you in one hit or stun lock you, but there are some nice tricks to beating them. I'm really concerned about the ability to summon in NG+, however. I stopped leveling at 112, which is a bit over what I should have done but dammit I wanted my great club to smash shit. The soul memory thing could also prove disastrous if they don't relax the requirement for summoning ranges.

Yes, that's exactly the area I'm talking about. If I make another character, it's going to have a bow.
I also didn't listen to the warnings in Aldia. I mean, From has all of these messages down there telling you "DON'T GO"
that it becomes reverse psychology. It had to be intentional. I ended up missing his questline if you talk to him before
releasing him and, subsequently, shop because of my idiocy.
Also, as more people do testing, supposedly the Soul Memory thing becomes less relevant in NG+ and it goes back to levels like before. From wanted to limit the normal game multiplayer aspects because in Dark people were abusing the ability to invade at low soul levels. They would build an end-game character with perfect gear, since they had the experience and ability to do so, but wouldn't raise their SL.

Ugh, NG+ red phantoms need to be addressed. Not talking about actual players, just the NPCs that populate areas. They break animation frames like crazy and feel incredibly cheap. Really hoping they patch that and the fact that certain attacks can hit you through a shield if you're on an incline. It doesn't feel intentional and makes some of the late game areas feel quite broken.
Seriously, what the fuck with that last section of Dragon Shrine? The giant knights with hammers never stop attacking to the point that it feels glitched, the dragon enemies can just break an animation whenever they feel like, and the giant shield dudes are just all sorts of fucked. I think you can run straight through if you want, but this section had me cursing like a fucking sailor. This was the worst part of the game for me by far. The giant knights with swords were randomly hurting me while fighting on the giant staircase and it got me killed quite a few times. Feels like their engine can't handle inclined plane fighting (remember, I'm a physics teacher!) and it needs to be addressed with a patch.

Finished it too. Those last 3 areas were awesome. But right now i'm so tired that i'll only play it again when it's released for the master race.
That last boss was ridiculously easy though, just like Dark Souls 1. I didn't even see that NPC in Aldia before pulling that lever, and then he started appearing EVERYWHERE in the most inconvenient places. Want to quickly run through a section, just to see if you haven't missed anything? NOPE, ROYAL MAGE WHATSYOURNAME. Yes, i was a little pissed. And i didn't have much problems with those mages in Amana because of the bow (i used the Dragonrider Bow - it scales with strenght, has magical attack and needs only 20 dex to use). Also, is Vendrick supposed to drop something? I killed him and got just 90k souls and no item.
PaleRobbie, isn't that because of your shield? I used a Tower Shield, which is a Great Shield, and did not have problems fighting them in the stairs/inclined planes. But those giants with a hammer though... I died more times to them than i died to the final boss.

I was using a great shield for the whole game, and there were certain enemies and bosses that were somehow damaging me through the shield even though they weren't using an elemental attack. We're talking huge chunks of HP despite having 100% damage reduction, and it was only happening occasionally. As I was telling Stephen yesterday, I think this game has a bit more jank than the others, but its still quite good. I'm really hoping some of the issues with hit boxes and hit detection are addressed in future patches. These were minor annoyances in the regular game, but they WILL get you killed on NG+. Some enemies seem to shrug off their stun animation faster than you can combo, meaning lots of death despite appearing to be able to get an extra hit in.

I only found the wonky hitboxes to really hurt on Smelter Demon and the optional boss of Pharros. Especially the latter, he hits like twice out of his range. Any enemy with a Halberd or those big maces hurts are affected, too.
I honestly think the issue might have been there in Dark Souls 1, to a slightly lesser extent, but we didn't notice as much since we had extra iFrames to compensate.

So that rumor or being summoned by the Looking Glass Knight in NG+ isn't a rumor anymore.
It actually happens.

Don't think much of the belfry area. I was hoping to summon some help against those Gargoyles but it's a guaranteed invasion by gray spirits.

Groovy has native language support for collections, lists, maps and arrays.
You can create lists as follows. Notice that [] is the empty list expression.
Each list expression creates an implementation of java.util.List.
See Groovy Lists and Sets for more indepth information.
Ranges allow you to create a list of sequential values. These can be used as Lists since
Ranges defined with the .. notation are inclusive (that is the list contains the from and to value).
Ranges defined with the ..< notation are exclusive, they include the first value but not the last value.
Note that ranges are implemented efficiently, creating a lightweight Java object containing a from and to value.
Ranges can be used for any Java object which implements java.lang.Comparable for comparison and also have methods next() and previous() to return the next / previous item in the range.
e.g. you can use Strings in a range
Ranges can be used to iterate using the for statement.
but alternatively you can achieve the same effect, by iterating a range with each method:
Ranges can be also used in the
switch statements:
Maps can be created using the following syntax. Notice that [:] is the empty map expression.
Map keys are strings by default: [a:1] is equivalent to ["a":1]. But if you really want a variable to become the key, you have to wrap it between parentheses: [(a):1].
Maps also act like beans so you can use the property notation to get/set items inside the Map provided that the keys are Strings which are valid Groovy identifiers.
Note: by design map.foo will always look for the key foo in map. This means foo.class will return null on an empty map and not result in calling the method getClass()
See Groovy Maps Indepth for more information on maps and sorted maps.
Getting efficient with the star-dot '*.' operator
You can perform operations on all the members of a collection using the '*.' operator, e.g.:
Slicing with the subscript operator
You can index into Strings, Lists, arrays, Maps, regexs and such like using the subscript expression.
Notice that you can use ranges to extract part of a List/array/String/regex. This is often referred to as slicing in scripting languages like Python. You can also use a list of indexes too.
You can update items using the subscript operator too
You can use negative indices to count from the end of the List, array, String etc.
Also if you use a backwards range (the starting index is greater than the end index) then the answer is reversed.
Dynamic objects (Expandos)
The Expando is not a collection in the strictest sense, but in some ways it is similar to a Map, or objects in JavaScript that do not have to have their properties defined in advance. It allows you to create dynamic objects by making use of Groovy's closure mechanisms. An Expando is different from a map in that you can provide synthetic methods that you can call on the object.
The player.greeting assignment passes in a closure to execute when greeting() is called on the Expando. Notice that the closure has access to the properties assigned to the Expando, even though these values may change over time, using Groovy's GString "$variableOrProperty" notation.

SCCA Eastern Conference Reaches Crescendo In New Jersey
MILLVILLE, N.J. (June 2, 2013) – The SCCA Eastern Conference Majors Tour capped it's penultimate event of the season with Round 10 on Sunday at New Jersey Motorsports Park, in an event that was well supported by drivers, workers, the South Jersey Region and the track.
With just one event and two races left to go, points were at a premium during Sunday's competition.
Once again, the Formula 500 and Formula Vee fields highlight the opening group with multi-car battles. Tom Shaughnessy's No. 17 QRE/Hoosier/Social Security Invader QC1/Rotax and Don Colanero's No. 18 Scuderia Frenzinta Racing KBS Mark V/Rotax each led early, and with the duo joined part way through the 22-lap race by Brian Heun's No. 26 Scuderia Frenzinta Racing QRE QC-1 Invader.
The three headed into Turn 1 with three different lines on Lap 17, with Heun getting the run around the back portion of the circuit and into the lead as the trio dove into the hard-braking right hand Turn Four. Once in front, Heun opened up a lead and scored the win, followed by Shaughnessy and Colanero.
The Formula Vee battle was three deep early, increased to four deep, and then was settled by the top two drivers over the final laps. Saturday winner Stevan Davis, who started from the rear of the field in the No. 80 Hoosier/Butler Engines/Roxannes Head Racer's Wedge SB-1/VW, joined the front running trio of Richard Shields, Roger Siebenaler and Jonathan Weisheit. Shields' No. 77 ARS Inc./Veesport Racing Vdf-2/VW and Siebnenaler's No. 72 Autowerks/Hoosier Tire Mysterian M-2 each led early, prior to the field growing from four to three.
On lap 14, Davis and Weisheit's No. 61 JK Technologies Protoform P3 made contact on lap 14, sending Weisheit off course and dropping Davis well behind Shields and Siebenaler in the battle for the lead. Davis was penalized by the stewards for the incident.
The two remaining battlers crossed the stripe side by side to start the final lap. Siebenaler outran Shields to the finish line, getting the win and leaving Shields with his second runner-up of the weekend.
Sunday's Super Touring Lite battle raged behind the overall and Touring 1 winner Andrew Aquilante's No. 35 Phoenix/Hawk/Hoosier Ford Mustang Boss 302.
Bob Beede started on the pole in the No. 21 Bill Fenton Motorsports Honda Civic Si, and led the opening six laps of the race before Greg Amy's No. 33 Hoosier/HPD/Kessler Engineering Acura Integra moved into the point. Never separated by more than a few car lengths, the pair circulated through the field, with Beede moving back into the lead on lap 12.
Once in front, Beede held the lead, though Amy was in his mirrors for the remainder.
Cliff White's No. 59 Cottage Senior Living Spec Racer Ford led from the pole, and then fell back on lap three following an off course excursion. He wasn't the only one to experience trouble on that lap, however, as multiple cars ran off the course in Turn Two and a collision in Turn Four brought out the full course caution.
White lined up on the lap nine restart behind Jeffrey Lehner's No. 77 Johnstown Auto Parts SRF and Bruce Myers' No. 28 Seacoast Physiatry SRF, with White taking the lead into Turn One on lap 10. Once in front, White drove away to his second win of the weekend, with Trey Ayres coming from sixth on the restart to second overall in the No. 71 Ayres Racing SRF.
The GT-1 battle, for the second straight day, was neck and neck early. Jim McAleese lined up second in the No. 02 McAleese & Associates / Jetco Engineering Chevrolet Corvette, and hounded Saturday's winner Dillon Machavern from the start. Machavern's No. 29 Heritage Automotive/UniFirst/Crane Ford Falcon stayed in front of a number of outbraking maneuvers by McAleese into the first corner, until on Lap 16, McAleese went to the inside and spun.
Machavern was able to get away from McAleese, who recovered to finish second.
Chris Dryden ran away and hid from the field for an overall E Production win in the Prod Group, his second of the weekend. Dryden's No. 02 PayPal/Carbotech/Team JBS BMW Z3 cleared the No. 00 GK Construction BMW325i of Greg Kasprzyk on lap three, and then set sail for the checkered flag over the remaining incident-free 22 laps. Along with Dryden, Jerry Hinkle swept the weekend in his F Production No. 66 Element One Associates Lotus Seven.
Brian Price started his Touring 4 No. 51 RP Performance/Unlimited Auto Body/Hoosier Mazda Miata on the overall pole in Group Six, also including Spec Miata. Price stayed just ahead of the field for the overall win, with Matt Ferris chasing him in the No. 06 S.A.C. Racing Spec Miata.
Ferris raced relatively unchallenged to the Spec Miata win, with Elivan Goulart's No. 74 S.A.C Racing/SCDA1.com Mazda Miata and Saturday winner Alex Bolanos' No. 5 Autotechnik/Momo/Apex Alignment Mazda Miata on the podium.
The Group Seven race, "wings and things", saw their race shortened to 17 laps when a car spun and stalled in Turn 11, blocking part of the track, while at nearly the same time an incident in Turn One needed addressed. Stewards determined that there was not enough time to gather the field behind the pace car, clean up both incidents, and get restarted before the 22 lap count ended.
The shortened race left Garrett Kletjian's D Sports Racing No. 01 George Dean Race Engines Stohr WF-1 Suzuki in the overall lead. Kletjian had passed the No. 79 Company Motorsport Swift 014a Formula Atlantic winner of Connor Burke on Lap 14.
The Formula 1000 race was a cat and mouse game, with Alex Mayer's No. 77 Mayer Motorsports/Autoworks Elan DP-04 moving around Jonathan Scarallo on lap seven. Scarallo's No. 21 Philadelphia Motorsports Park DB-F1000 chased Mayer to the finish, but never found a way around and settled for second.
The final two rounds of the Eastern Conference Majors Tour are at during the BFGoodrich Tires Watkins Glen Super Tour at Watkins Glen International, July 5-7. The doubleheader will end the season at one of the iconic tracks in the country.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I've never ordered anything as important as my daughter's Save The Dates and was hesitant to do it online. I like to see, touch, before I place an order. I felt better that magnetstreet.com offers a free sample. Once I started browsing, plugging in pictures, playing with fonts and colors, sending to daughter for approval, it was an enjoyable experience. I designed exactly what she wanted, but, daughter spotted a typo right after I clicked the order button! Needless to say, all I had to do was email for help and my misspelled word was fixed. I can't recommend Magnetstreet.com enough. They're fantastic to work with and have a beautiful, quality product. ~ Mother of the Bride
Very Happy
I was very happy with the quality of the photo on this card as well as the depth of the colors. The finished product looked exactly like the proof I created online. I enjoyed all the compliments I received from our guests.

This World Cup is a wallet-draining commitment that starts with a seventeen-hour flight. WWOZ and JazzFest fans will understand why we do it.
Tune in next Thursday morning, July 1, @ 10:00a.m., when trombone player, Joe Maize & a couple of the fellas from the To Be Continued Brass Band will join me in the studio. We'll be talking about what's going on with the music on the street, & of course, play some music.
As you probably already know, June is National Accordion Awareness Month. So, today's show will focus on the squeezebox, featuring everything from the great Clifton Chenier to some music by the master of Honky Squonk, Schatzy.
This Tuesday June 22, 2010 - 10:30 PM until 3 AM The Kitchen Sink and Overnight will present the music of
4.5 hours of the big bandleader/keyboardist/philospher/space jazz alien Sun Ra and his assorted Omniverse Arkestras to celebrate the solstice.
Tune in at 3 pm to hear Offbeat Magazine's Editor-in-chief Jan Ramsey explain the latest development in the war between the NOPD and New Orleans' street musicians.
Dafnis Prieto's Si o Si Quartet with Peter Apfelbaum were spectacular openers on the last day of the 12th Annual Healdsburg Jazz Festival, Sunday June 13th. Prieto's tremendous change of pace, brilliant rhythms, tonal perfection made you forget at times he is a drummer --- and when he did a racing 'SCAT' that was reminiscent of South Indian vocal ragas, he brought the house down.
The poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca hit home once again after seeing Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca at Le Petit Theatre. The guitars, the voices, the poses, the pain, they were all there in front of me, beautifully alive in the performance.
Forgive me, I'm a bit stuck on THE SPORT today. Yeah, that sport where the audience share is measured in billions instead of millions.
Youtube will be webcasting live perfromances all weekend from the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival being held in Manchester Tennessee.
Check out the webcast schedule and watch live performances at http://www.youtube.com/bonnaroo
"Bossa Nova on the Green" was fantastic!!

EPA, USDA break through small business contracting barriers
Wednesday - 10/10/2012, 5:00am EDT
(This story is part two of Federal News Radio's special report, The Small Business Dilemma.)
Despite the federal government's less than stellar record of meeting small business contracting goals over the past six years, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Agriculture Department are two of the exceptions.
EPA, USDA and several other agencies have shown that success in awarding prime contracts to small businesses takes an approach that requires top-down oversight and a bottom-up focus.
In part two of Federal News Radio's special report, The Small Business Dilemma, Federal News Radio examines why agencies are successful in meeting or surpassing their small business targets.
EPA is taking a "think small first" strategy to contracting. It exceeded its small business prime contract goal of 42 percent last year, with nearly 70 percent of subcontracts going to small firms.
"We want to go small first and justify going large."
Jeanette Brown,
OSDBU, Environmental Protection Agency
"We want to go small first and justify going large," said Jeanette Brown, director of EPA's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization.
EPA attributes its small business contracting success to efforts to elevate OSDBU's visibility. Brown said she is known as the "small business lady" at her agency.
"People see me as I walk through the agency and will talk to me about [small business contracting] opportunities. The leadership knows, as well as the other staff, pretty much what my role is and how we work in the agency to support and advocate for small businesses," she said.
That visibility comes partly from the agency's organizational structure — Brown is a member of the Senior Executive Service and reports directly to the agency's deputy administrator, as required by the Small Business Act.
At EPA, the role of small business specialists — sprinkled throughout the agency — helps ensure small firms are front-of-mind for program and acquisition offices.
In its regional offices, the small business specialist is part of the acquisition workforce and involved from the beginning in any acquisition forecast. Adrianne Callahan, small business manager for EPA's Region 5 based in the Midwest, said she tries to understand what the project is and determine where small businesses can fit into that project.
"There may be some [small businesses] that can't do it at this time, so it's my job to get the ball rolling. When I'm doing outreach, start talking to these businesses to see what are their capabilities, what are their qualifications, help them understand this is what EPA's priorities are," Callahan said.
Agencies that met small business goal in FY2011:*
Homeland Security
*Goal varies by agency, with 23 percent as the governmentwide goal.
At the Agriculture Department, each of its 11 buying agencies has a small business coordinator or small business specialist, said Joe Ware, the deputy director of OSDBU at USDA.
USDA also involves its small business office in a procurement from the beginning of the process, rather than waiting right before the solicitation, Ware said.
"We've found that to be very, very effective and very helpful both to the agencies and to the small businesses," he said. "It avoids delays at the end of the solicitation cycle and it provides a good set of solid strategies for the agency to work with."
Last year, USDA reached its small business contracting goal with more than 52 percent of prime contracts going to small businesses.
The ability to reach out to small firms is easier at USDA — with field offices throughout the country. The Forest Service, for example, had more than 31,000 contract actions totaling $700 million, with nearly 80 percent awarded to small businesses, Ware said.
Some agencies, however, do not have missions that are as small business- accessible. For example, half of the Energy Department's procurement budget is tied up in contracts with its 17 national laboratories, so those prime contracts cannot go to small firms, said Energy's OSDBU Director Dot Harris.
The labs "technically are our primes for those sites. When we look at our small businesses, it's typically in a subcontracting mode," Harris said.

GARETH DUNCAN reports on the Waratahs' 30-21 victory over the Rebels in Sydney.
The result was expected. The Rebels are known for their poor record on the road, and they expectedly folded against the Waratahs' charge. The latter dominated with a strong superior forwards display, moments of impressive backline interplay and clever decision-making to cruise to victory. Despite two tries in a late fightback from the visitors, the hosts still held on for a comfortable win.
The Waratahs will, however, lament their inability to score a fourth try for the bonus point. In the dying moments, they camped in the Rebels' red zone, but they couldn't reach the whitewash after several attempts. This could prove costly in their pursuit for a play-off place, considering their poor start to the season.
The Sydney team started the match strongly, grabbing the opening try after just 26 seconds. After winning possession from the kick-off, they built moment through strong ball carries before a smart backline move, mixed with inside and outside offloads, was finished off by fullback Bernard Foley. Scrumhalf Brendan McKibbin added the extras, and kicked two penalties for an early 13-0 lead.
The Rebels managed to hit back through a try scored by hooker Ged Robinson, but McKibbin slotted another three-pointer to make the half-time tally 16-7 in the Waratahs' favour.
Hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau powered through after a clever lineout move to give the hosts a perfect start to the second half, and outside centre Rob Horne created a big opportunity for a bonus-point win when he scored the third try moments later. But their ill-discipline cost them momentum, and saw them reduced to 14 men when Horne was yellow carded.
The Rebels made full use of their one-man advantage and capitalised on that ascendancy to cross the chalk via flanker Tom Davidson and wing Lachlan Mitchell.
Once they returned to 15 men, the Waratahs regained their control of the match, but failed to find that valuable fourth try.

Actually this smells like honeysuckle and peaches as is noted, but it is such a delightful aroma, very soft, and elegant, not overpowering. It's something like a Sunday afternoon scent that is good everyday. I really like it a lot and have been wearing it everyday since I got it. I recommend it to others looking for a not too strong, yet memorable fragrance.

Lovely scent, clean and softly floral without that sweet sugary smell. Smells so good without overpowering the nostrils. People will stop you and ask what you're wearing. The complements will keep coming when you wear this. This scent is a keeper!

As Kinston deliberates with Duke Energy and the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency about selling its generation assets, one resident with experience in electricity issues said the city should get out of the business entirely to guarantee cheaper rates for customers.
Joe Plasky, a former DuPont worker and board member of the Kinston Utilities Advisory Committee, gave a presentation at Wednesday's UAC meeting saying the city should also relinquish its distribution ties to Duke Energy as well.
"The electrical business is 50 percent of the city's budget," Plasky said. "The only way Kinston citizens will pay rates equal to Duke customers is to be a Duke customer. At one point in time, there was a need for cities to be in the electrical business, but now the premise is no longer valid. Duke Energy can supply services just as well as we can, so we don't need to be in the business anymore.
"Let's say a hurricane comes through the city and knocks down power lines. If the city wasn't in the electric business, leadership and management could focus strictly on helping people and giving more attention to the recovery of the city than the power lines, which Duke could take care of. The city should function toward helping the betterment of citizens."
Sears said he appreciated Plasky for his insight, and also asked for patience in the matter from the UAC.
"The city is nowhere near a position to sign final papers pertaining to this matter," Sears said. "There would be about a 12 month timeframe of discussion before we think about legally binding documentation. In the next 30 to 60 days, there will be information out which merits proposal and can be discussed by the public. The information will be accessible to citizens and we'll have open meetings so they can voice their opinions."
John Nix, chairman of the UAC, said Plasky and Sears provided plenty of insight to the board and those in attendance.
"I think both Mr. Sears and Mr. Plasky brought some vital information for the general public," Nix said. "This was a very valuable meeting and presentation, especially with Mr. Sears letting us know things are on the way for the city."
Kinston Public Services Assistant Director Steve Miller also gave a presentation in the meeting about a possible raise in the stormwater fee from $4 to $4.50 per month. Miller said the 50 cent hike — which could take place starting July 1 with a vote by the Kinston City Council — would help KPS deal with the loss of the inmate labor program after Duplin County Prison closed in July 2013.
"The biggest issue is losing the inmate labor for ditches," Miller said. "We've had to hire our own workers, which has cost us around $100,000 per year. It's a new expense for us, which we used toward our capital project."
Laura Lee Sylvester, president of the Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce and UAC board member, said the presentations will all be helpful in the future.
"I appreciated the information given, so when the time comes time to make a decision, it will be based on the knowledge shared here," Sylvester said. "This wasn't an action meeting; instead, one for information. We'll do our homework and if we need to come to an agreement, we will."

The Kay family used to be the ones who volunteered to wrap and deliver gifts for needy families. But the couple from Holtsville found Long Island to be too expensive to raise their two young children after Mr. Kay was laid off from his Nassau County job and Mrs. Kay was diagnosed with rectal cancer. They packed up and moved south, to the sunny promise of better days in Florida. Once there, the cruel hand of fate dealt them another blow, and a housing scam brought them to their knees. Now, they are back on LI, they had to sell most of their belongings to afford an apartment in Shirley and need help themselves.

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of your favorite show? We got the scoop from top makeup artists on shows like "Modern Family" and "Community"
What you see on a TV show: An actress with gorgeous, flawless skin, long eyelashes, and makeout-scene ready lips. She looks like the type of girl everyone secretly hates because she always, always looks perfect. So not fair.
What it's really like behind the scenes: An actress with a huge pimple that you'll never see. Ditto for chapped lips, under eye circles, and crows' feet. The trick? The makeup artist and the lighting department's expertise hides it all completely.
News flash: Actors don't naturally have gorgeous skin or flawless features. A ton of effort goes into creating that illusion for a television show -- especially nowadays, with HD cameras picking up every last zit/pore/wrinkle. Yikes.
Being the curious beauty editor that I am, I visited the set of the popular show "Community" to talk to Head Makeup Artist, Pamela Lljubo-O'Brien. I wanted to find out what really goes on behind the scenes of a TV show.
After just one day of seeing what happens on set, I was amazed at some of the beauty secrets I found. Like the fact that a kissing scene is an entire production in itself -- I'm talking mouthwash, mints, and no lipstick allowed. And, did you know actors actually get facials at the end of each day?
To find out more, I talked to a handful of other TV show makeup artists, including Stephanie Massie, Head Makeup Artist for "Modern Family," Tracy Anderson, Head Makeup Artist for "Sons of Anarchy," and Thereze Berquist-Barker, Head Makeup Artist for "Brothers & Sisters." They shared these never-before-heard tips, just for us.

Since you're planning on using it for dust tactics I'm gonna guess you are just interested in the WW2 version. I just started playing this game a month ago and I've been trying to build up my collection but all you need to start playing is one of the boxed sets: Wings of War the Dawn of World War 2 or Wings of War Fire from the Sky. There's also a deluxe set that comes with miniatures but I think that's out of print right now
One of those boxes are all you need to get started. Then there's also booster pack you can buy (the booster packs are a fixed set of cards) that add in additional airplanes and their maneuver decks.
But if you want to add the visual appeal of the miniatures you have to buy those all separately. Luckily for you if you're interested in just WW2 wings of war all the plane models are still available. I've been trying to get both ww1 and ww2 planes and a lot of the ww1 planes are out of print right now.
Posted 17 May 2011 - 07:58 PM
If you want to go with WWII miniatures, get the boxed set "Wings of War Fire from the Sky" and then pick up whatever minis you want. If you local game store happens to have one of the WWII Deluxe sets, pick it up and save your self a bunch of cash.

Exhibit A: On Oct. 30, at the behest of the gas industry and other potential fleet customers, Chrysler's Ram Truck division began building a pickup powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). This heavy-duty Ram 2500 4X4 Longbed thus became America's only factory-built CNG pickup.Exhibit B: Honda, which lays claim to this country's only factory-assembled CNG pleasure car, the Civic GX, greatly expanded that vehicle's sales arena for the 2012 model year. Available previously in only a handful of states, the GX can now be purchased at 197 dealerships in 36 states.It takes more than two wind gusts to qualify as Hurricane Sandy, of course, but these developments at Ram Truck and Honda could well be the harbingers of a significant growth in the use of CNG vehicles in this country.
