CHIEF LOGAN STATE PARK — The Southern West Virginia Stingrays scored two victories in their first swim meet as part of the HYCAT Swim Club on Saturday at the Chief Logan Rec Center.
The Stingrays' Quincy Farley, 10, win the breast stroke and 100 freestyle heats, while nine-year-old Lauren Workman won the 50 freestyle.
The Stingrays were competing against swimmers from all across the state, including Fairmont and Charleston. There were 50 swimmers competing in the event.
Coach Kristy Schroeder said the Chief Logan Rec Center's new swim team performed well in its first meet as part of the HYCAT organization, which is a division of USA Swim.
"I thought they did really well for their first USA Swim experience," Schroeder said. "We had much more intensity and my swimmers hung right in with everyone else. This is a good accomplishment for our team."
Schroeder has been coaching the Stingrays for two seasons and she said she can see a lot of improvement in her swimmers.
"I am looking forward to competing in more meets in the future," Schroeder said.
The Stingrays will host the Beckley YMCA Swim Team on October 20 at the Chief Logan Rec Center for their next meet. The Beckley swim team has been competing for two seasons, too.
"It will be a good competition," Schroeder said. "They should be the same speed as us and their ability level should be about the same as my kids."
The Chief Logan Rec Center pool area was packed with cheering parents and swim fans from all over. Attending the meet was Skip Queen, who was in charge of the first swim meet last season.
Greg Olsen, who is the head coach and director of the HYCAT program out of Charleston, said he is pleased that the Stingrays are now part of his organization.
"I am tickled to death that they are doing it," Olsen said. "They will be called HYCAT of Southern West Virginia. I'm tickled to death to see swimming down in the southern part of the state."

A dirty, or contaminated mass airflow (MAF) sensor can cause the engine to run poorly. There may be a Check Engine Light with trouble codes relating to the MAF sensor. In some cases, carefully cleaning the sensor element will fix the problem, but replacement may be required.
1999 Mazda B2500 Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified 1999 Mazda B2500 Problem Reports
Rough Running Idle, Erratic Speedometer Operation, ABS Light Illuminated, Check Engine Light, and Automatic Transmission Shifting Problems
Water intrusion into a connector (X309) located under the cab, beneath the driver's seat, can cause a rough idle, erratic speedometer operation, ABS Light and Check Engine Light illumination, and automatic transmission shifting problems. If needed, connector repair parts are available from Mazda dealers, and possibly some Ford dealers.
The engine may fail to start due to an electrically shorted sensor. Some of the sensors may internally short and not blow any fuses. A technician may find no spark and no operation of the fuel injectors in the diagnosis. One way a technician may isolate the defective sensor is by disconnecting sensors one by one to see if the engine starts.
A high idle speed can be caused by a poor connection at the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Connector replacement kits are available from Mazda dealers and possibly some Ford dealers.

"Excellent Milk"
Esbilac has worked for our family of 10 boxer puppies (momma died during puppy birth). The milk is easy to mix and has been accepted by all 10 pups. Three weeks later all are thriving and strong. PS Judy at PetAG was very helpful - spent time talking to me and referred me to Jeffers Pet to buy in bulk.
"puppy survival kit"
Couldn't raise our mastiff puppies without this product. Our puppies grow up healthy and strong. We supplement mom's milk with Esbilac.

After 6 years we are moving from Berlin-Friedenau to Berlin-Neukölln into a bigger and more comfortable office in Juliusstraße 41. Due to holiday season and moving work we will be closed from 22nd December until the 12th January. We thank you for your understanding.
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

On November 24, 2014, the "Charter for the Future - ONE WORLD - Our Responsibility" took place in Berlin. A main focus of the initiative of German Development Minister Dr. Gerd Müller was an intensive debate with the public about universally binding development goals. In the context of the Future Forum Dr. Müller delivered the "Charter for the Future" to German Federal Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel. Furthermore, a "Future Workshop" was initiated with around 100 actors from all over Germany. Workshops, talks and future slams provided opportunities to talk together about ideas for a better world. The GTO participated with the international exhibition "Sanitation is Dignity" to break the toilet taboo and to advocate sanitation.
November 19, 2014
One! Two! Pee! - Today on World Toilet Day we started the Urgent Run and passed the baton (a toilet brush) to pupils of the Theodor Fontane Oberschule in Berlin. The kids "ran" 2420 Euro! CWS-boco is supporting the Urgent Run and rounded up the sum raised to 3000 Euro! We would like to thank CWS-boco for their great support! We are also very grateful to all pupils who have taken part at the Urgent Run!
November 19, 2014
The Urgent Run is World Toilet Organization's global advocacy campaign for UN World Toilet Day 2014. It is a global mobilization event that involves citizens around the world joining or organising a run to draw attention to the urgent calls for action to end the sanitation crisis. In 22 cities worlwide people are running to urge global decision-makers to stay true to their universal commitments on improving access to sanitation for one third of the world's population. The Urgent Run starts November 9, 2014 in Singapore and ends November 19, 2014 in New York on World Toilet Day.
In Germany the Urgent Run, supported by CWS-boco, started during the "WASH Zukunftsforum" in Bonn. On Wednesday, November 19th, GTO will pass the baton (a toilet brush) to school children of the Theodor Fontane Oberschule in Berlin.
November 18, 2014
That was the motto of the workshops for pupils arranged by the GTO on the 15 series of the Berlin political development education program Benbi.
This year again, the GTO was represented at Benbi from 10 till 14 November. Following the motto "Fair worlds - How do we share in a fair way?" pupils learned how important sanitation and the right hygiene practice are.
Together we explored how people manage their everyday life without toilets and discussed the resulting problems. Also the kids got the opportunity to discover how you can improve the access to sanitation systems and explored the question how toilets can save lives. They build a TippyTap and found out how Peepoobags work. In a theater workshop pupils could discover how access to clean toilets and sustainable sanitation systems can be created.
We hope our participants had as much fun as we had!

We are delighted to announce the launch of new German WASH Network publication on "Linking Relief and Development in the WASH Sector". The publication should be seen as a current snapshot of the sector and intends to foster the further understanding of each other's field of work. It provides impulses for fuelling the on-going international debate on how to better link relief and development by giving a more in-depth overview of existing definitions, categorisations and models that are currently being used and by identifying existing challenges and opportunities that come along with it. A wide range of sector professionals have been asked to provide feedback reflecting either their individual and/or organisational views and experiences regarding current challenges, opportunities as well as recommendations for the way forward. The publication can be downloaded under the following link:

On May 21, the United Nation's Day of Cultural Diversity, we were out on the streets of Berlin and demonstrated with students of four different schools for the acceptance of different cultures which also includes toilets.
We all have to use toilets and there are many different types around the world. But still 40% of the world population has no access to clean and save toilets at all - that is what we want to change.
After a press conference, where the students talked about culture diversity and the world wide sanitation situation, we walked with almost 100 participants from Leipziger Platz to Brandburger Tor and Bundestag and finished our event at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of the Cultures of the World). We would like to thank all students and attendees who demonstrated with us for the human right of toilets.

GTO is collecting donations for the victims of typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
This year's World Toilet Day is a very special one - as for the first time it is recognized as official World Day of the United Nations. Unfortunately this special appreciation of our dearest invention is overshadowed by the tragic events taking place in the Philippines.
From successful development projects to emergency relief after the tropic storm "Wash" we as an organization are closely connected to the Philippines. At this hard time we also feel obliged to support our local partners.
For this reason we appeal for donations for save sanitation for the typhoons' victims. More information on our donation project you can find on our donation page.
November 15, 2013
Together with a broad alliance of German NGOs the GTO is celebrating World Toilet Day 2013. This year the UN General Assembly declared World Toilet Day as an official World Day of the United Nations. Reason enough to celebrate together with our partners from the German WASH-Network.
With a variety of different activities we want to reach as many people and decisions makers as possible. The 1st German Toilet Days start on November 15 with a two days expert symposium in Bremen. On Friday, November 15 there will be a big "Celebrate the Toilet" party in Berlin and on Saturday, November 16, starts an exhibition on "toilet art" in Heidelberg including an auction for a good cause.
October 30, 2013
Our cooperation with the Guts for Change crew is taking on the next round: After the successful bike tour from Berlin to India and the following dry-toilet construction in Darewadi 2012/2013, a second project will be implemented in the village of Kuregaon, 49 miles away from Pune, where a day school is in desperate need of toilets and sleeping facilities for its pupils. The project will be a new cooperation between the German Toilet Organization and the Crew of Guts for Change together with the Ecosan Services Foundation as well as the local Indian partner Sevadham Trust.
Detailed information of the project you can find here.
Further information about our first joint project are to be found here.

Training of Trainers workshop preparing local partners in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia for CLUES
The GTO is glad to record on an exciting workshop about Community-Led Urban Environmental Sanitation (CLUES) in Ethiopia. CLUES is a planning approach, developed by EAWAG, which is generated especially for the urban and peri-urban context. The objective is to conduct the planning and implementation of participatory solutions of sanitation systems in order to ensure high acceptance and ownership for these sanitation solutions as well as its service.
The workshop was conducted in Bahir Dar in collaboration with Welthungerhilfe and its local partner organization ORDA.
We want to thank all the participants who have contributed to the workshops' success with their great engagement. We are looking forward to the second part of the training in December and the projects proccess.
August 16, 2013
Finally we're there. Christoph Nick, member of the GTO, put a lot of effort into a movie, featuring our first project at the Pestalozzi school in Lusaka, Zambia, which, being our first one, especially means a lot to us. In cooperation with Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association (BORDA) and the Water and Sanitation Association of Zambia (WASAZA) we constructed a wastewater treatment-system which not only produces biogas for cooking in the school kitchen, but also delivers filtered effluent water for watering the crop plants in the school gardens. Sit back and enjoy!
Find more information and updates of the project here
Finally it's done. The work of many NGOs to achieve the human right to water and sanitation has brought about another moment of success. In its resolution "Sanitation For All", the UN announced November 19 as World Toilet Day, in order to support a broader approach to water and sanitation efforts reached through better co-operation between member states, UN-organizations, NGOs and other stakeholders.
The World Toilet Day puts the importance of having access to sanitation onto the public agenda. Therefore, another important step on the way to removing the sanitation-taboo and to strengthen the topic has been done. Last but not least, the World Toilet Day will hopefully serve its deal to help those without access to adequate sanitation and to giving lots of girls the opportunity to go to school while menstruating. Sanitation is dignity. We're looking forward to the World Toilet Day!
Finally! The GTO Merchandise selection has been enriched. From now on, you can purchase our new super-cool shoulder bags in blue or black. The trend-conscious loo-supporter carries the motto "Loovolution is when everyone has one" (in German) around the world, casually hanging on her/his shoulder.

MARK KEOHANE, in Business Day newspaper, applauds the talents of Eben Etzebeth and Pat Lambie and writes the Sharks are the best domestic team in South Africa.
Eben Etzebeth made his Western Province Currie Cup debut a fortnight ago and is eligible to play in Saturday's U21 final. He's still a pup in terms of provincial experience and age but he's definitely no pup in terms of performance.
He was colossal against the Lions in Western Province's dramatic last minute Currie Cup semi-final victory. He commands presence, which explains the remarkable elevation from Varsity Cup player in 2011 to an eight-Test Springbok in 2012. A unique breed of player simply has it. Etzebeth is the newest international member of this club, and if he stays injury free he could become the most dominant of second rowers in the next decade.
He thrives on responsibility, especially when the crunch moments demand the tough to take the lead. We saw it in Super Rugby, most notably in the final 20 minutes when the Stormers repelled a Lions fightback in Johannesburg to win. Etzebeth towered above the rest that night and at the same venue, against the provincial Lions he effected a result of similar significance for Western Province players, who earlier in the year had played in the guise of the Stormers.
Etzebeth is among the 10 nominations for South Africa's Player of the Year and while my preference is the revitalised and rejuvenated Western Province, Stormers and Springbok wing Bryan Habana, a more appropriate reward for Etzebeth would be the Rookie of the Year.
He plays with the authority of an old head, but the emotional maturity should not disguise his youthfulness. He is also an enforcer who lacks the crassness of a thug. He can impose his physicality without resorting to cheap shots, which is refreshing. There is more Brad Thorn to his persona than Bakkies Botha because he has the calmness a young Botha's personality did not accommodate. Botha had mongrel but Etzebeth's aggression is measured. The old dog can certainly teach Etzebeth a trick or two, which is why I'd select both for the end-of- year tour, but the emotional maturity and seemingly contentment of Etzebeth is unique among young international second rowers.
Etzebeth's influence was massive in the lineout take and subsequent 20m maul that crushed the Lions in the last play of the game. Lions' supporters would rightly have cursed his presence on Saturday night, but as South Africans they will have many a Saturday in which they'll celebrate the fact he's a South African who plays for the Springboks.
Another youngster who plays with the maturity of a veteran is Pat Lambie. National coach Heyneke Meyer has been reluctant on Lambie. Why? Who knows?
Lambie has shown his class as a person through a winter of frustration at national level. Picked as a bench warmer and only viewed as a fullback option he never spoke out against the coach and never threatened of a move to French or English club rugby. He spoke only when given a chance to start at flyhalf for the Sharks and his speaking came by way of performance. He was more commander than cavalier against the Bulls in the Sharks 20-3 semi-final victory.
He looked more Dan Carter than Quade Cooper in controlling the semi-final, which is a compliment of his class.
Lambie, two seasons ago, was brilliant in the Sharks' Currie Cup final win against Western Province, but his versatility has been to his detriment. He can play 10, 12, 13 and 15 and he wouldn't be out of place on the wing, but because of this quality he has become a jack of all trades when he has the potential to become the master of one.
Lambie really has been impressive at flyhalf in the most understated, yet effective manner. The hope is Meyer can review his earlier opinion that Lambie is a 15 and not a 10, and not fear misguided accusations that a change of opinion is because of a state of confusion.
Lambie, on the pending Bok tour, must get some game time at 10. Expect a big game from him in Durban on Saturday against Western Province. He'll deliver because whenever he has been given an opportunity (not a 10-minute cameo role) the return has been a quality performance.
The Sharks were imposing and brutal against the Bulls and coach John Plumtree's match 22 selection showed an understanding that play-off matches are determined more by the quality of the seven substitutes than the perceived pedigree of the starting XV.
The Sharks have been South Africa's most consistent performer in Super Rugby and Currie Cup, with or without their current Springboks. They play the best rugby and they are South Africa's best team. They will win the title on Saturday.

Mike Abbink began work on FF Milo in 2000 with the goal of creating a compact typeface with very short ascenders and descenders. Because of its compact design FF Milo is a workhorse typeface suitable for magazine and newspaper typography. It has modern bones with a touch of detail for distinction (especially in the italics). The designer named the typeface after a resilient grain because, much like corn or grain is for many cultures, FF Milo is intended to be a solid staple of any typographic diet.
FF Milo was selected by the ATypI as one of the best typefaces of the first decade of the 21st century during their Letter.2 competition in 2011.
FF Milo supports 115 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, German and French in Latin scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)

Hey everyone,
Lately we've been planning and announcing our work meetups a few days in advance. We realize that everyone has busy schedules (including ourselves), and that giving a bit more advanced notice makes it easier for more people to come to the space and help out. Therefore I am pleased to announce a more consistent schedule and recurring schedule for these events.
Someone will be in the space to facilitate a work meetup on the following days and times:
- Saturday – From roughly 9am to 1pm
- Monday – From roughly 6pm to 9pm
- Thursday – From roughly 6pm to 9pm
To keep these dates and times, as well as other important events in your Calendar, make sure to add our Google Calendar. If these dates don't work for you please join our Volunteer Group and let us know, so we can try to work out something that fits your schedule.
You may also notice that a Paypal donation button has popped up on our site. That's because we've started taking online donations! Eventually we will be using Paypal to also take membership dues, and will allow us to do automatic payments for everyone's convenience.
For now though, please contribute through an online donation! Every bit counts, and we appreciate anything you can give.
Thanks to everyone who has already helped and contributed so much. Hopefully with these extra days and times we will soon be ready to open to the general public! Til the next meetup!

Hatteras likes to remind folks that their designs were born and bred along the North Carolina coast, the "Graveyard of the Atlantic," where boats are built rugged and are designed to take on rough inlets and open waters. But don't let that toughness fool you; these yachts also feature interior design and creature comforts that are second to none.

Horses are frequently the victims of cruelty and neglect, but their suffering sometimes fails to grab headlines. In honor of National Horse Protection Day, we'd like to share just one horse rescue we've had the opportunity to support.
Last month, 13 emaciated horses were found living on a rural farm in Vermilion County, Illinois. The horses were all skin and bones. Two were blind, and a third was found deceased on the property.
Luckily, the Society for Hooved Animal Rescues and Emergencies (S.H.A.R.E) stepped in and began the long process of rehabilitating the horses. As soon the ASPCA heard about S.H.A.R.E's incredible work, we gave the organization a $6,500 grant to help pay for veterinary care and food for the rescued equines.
We're so glad to assist S.H.A.R.E in its efforts to help horses! Find out how you can get involved and be a hero for horses by reading our top 10 ways to help equines.
Have you stood up for horses? Tell us about it in the comments!
People should not be allowed to own horses if they cannot care for them. Neglecting them to the point of their death is just not acceptable. They should be brought up on criminal charges.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO,(I SURE HOPE SO) about the possibility of the Secretary of Agriculture being in favor of building a HORSE SLAUGHTER PLANT IN NEW MEXICO? I'VE ALREADY SENT E MAILS AGAINST THIS TO SECRETARY VILSACK AND PRESIDENT OBAMA..THIS SHOULD BE AN SOS! PLEASE HELP, AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO...
Please do NOT allow any horse slaughter as this are all G_D's creatures that have been left in our care!
Thank you,
This week I am going to have to euthanize my horse. My best friend of 25yrs. Why, because I am no longer able to afford the level of care that I both of us have enjoyed for the years past.
She is blind, and is suffering from old age related problems.
She is happy and plays when I have her out. We go for long walks and I drive to the stable were she is boarded twice a day.
She is on a special diet due to her being borderline Insulin Resistant so I have to buy all of her feed myself. She gets several medications a day and without them she could not be happy and without pain.
She was 3yrs old and 6mos pregant when I brought her home. She is now 28yrs old, ane has lived were she is for the entire time.
Please say prays for both of us. I will be a basket case for at least a week as I will be loosing my best friend.
Thanks for a place to express my self, Joanne
It will happen-- and the conditions will be far more horrific when they are being transported across borders-- and Mexico isn't known for its "kindness" to animals. An animal will face less horror here in the states than below the Rio Grande. I hate the thought of horse slaughter--but I also hate the thought of a horse with a broken leg enduring a long truck haul to Mexico-- where the inhumane treatment will only escalate.
No No NO HORSE SLAUGHTER, they are our companions we do not eat horses
Lived in the country for awhile. Used to ride my bike around some of the country roads. Saw a horse in a cramped stall with his head out of the opening. Went over to investigate and he had ran(into what looks like barbed wire. His fore leg on top was stitched up. What bothered me there was no dressing on it, the stall was filthy, the horse had no food at all and the water he had was dirty. Went by for 3 days, no food and still dirty water, went home called DNR, they refered to another state agency. Called them, let them know about situation and said was going to keep calling until something was done. They went out to access the situation and found out who owner was and let them know this was unacceptable and owner came and got the horse. So,the TAIL to this story is be persistent and be a bit#*
yes joann, it is always hard to loose ones we love. I had to put my beloved horse down 2 years ago because of 2 spinal strokes. He was a prince and I miss him everyday. He was a ranch horse who was past his usefulness there but we shared many pleasent rides together after I aquired him. I extened his life in comfort for 6 more years and we had many great times to remember. In time the hurt is less but the memories will always relmain.
I am so impressed on how the horses are mistreated and abuse in the Occidental hemisphere. Why then, both perivate ad public organization do not donate a horse for a farming family in the developing countries.Government and private sectors should make a closer look on this particular issue, and find a reasonable resolution rather than a drastic decision.As a matter of fact, it has sense for me.Thank you.
These animals are beautiful. Please i don't want them to be harm buy people that neglect them. I lie going to stables near me and pet them and sometimes giving them a carrot or two. This is not right. They should not be eaten.

The Apache Axiom™ library provides an XML Infoset compliant object model implementation which supports on-demand building of the object tree. It supports a novel "pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree building and directly access the underlying pull event stream using the StAX API. It also has built in support for XML Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of which allows XML to carry binary data efficiently and in a transparent manner. The combination of these is an easy to use API with a very high performant architecture!
Developed as part of Apache Axis2, Apache Axiom is the core of Apache Axis2. However, it is a pure standalone XML Infoset model with novel features and can be used independently of Apache Axis2.

2nd December 2012 - Apache Axiom Verson 1.2.14 Released!
Axiom 1.2.14 contains fixes for more than twenty JIRA issues as well as lots of other improvements.
Users upgrading to 1.2.14 should take into account the following changes:
For more information about the possible impact on existing application code of these changes, please refer to the user guide.
2nd April 2012 - Apache Axiom Version 1.2.13 Released!
Axiom 1.2.13 contains fixes for over thirty JIRA issues as well as lots of other improvements, mainly related to XOP/MTOM processing, namespace handling, DOM support, documentation and code quality.
The most prominent change in 1.2.13 is that Axiom no longer uses its own MIME parser, but instead relies on Apache James Mime4J for XOP/MTOM processing. This was done in order to support streaming of the content of MIME parts in XOP/MTOM messages: they can now be processed without writing them to memory or disk first. This also applies to the root/SOAP part, which in previous versions was always read into memory before parsing could start.
For more information about the possible impact on existing application code of the changes included in Axiom 1.2.13, please refer to the user guide.
2nd July 2011 - Apache Axiom Version 1.2.12 Released!
Axiom 1.2.12 contains fixes for the following JIRA issues:
3rd February 2011 - Apache Axiom Version 1.2.11 Released!
Axiom 1.2.11 is a maintenance release to support the upcoming Axis2 1.6 release. It also introduces a couple of new APIs that make it easier to support alternative Axiom implementations and that eliminate the need to refer to internal Axiom APIs.
Resolved JIRA issues:
Please refer to the user guide for additional information about changes in Axiom 1.2.11.
30th October 2010 - Apache Axiom Version 1.2.10 Released!

This idea of free will: I see no reason to believe in it .* However, if there is no free will, how does one live one's life? :!:
(I also wanted to ask if anyone has read "Straw Dogs" by John Gray and if so what they thought.)
(*This has been argued and counterargued by countless philosophers. It seems however that recent and not-so-recent findings in neuroscience suggest free will to be an illusion.)
Even if you don't agree with me, imagine hypothetically that there is no free will, what might your answer to my question be?

Whose birthday is today?
Here are some clues:
- He hates Mondays and loves lasagna
- He loves coffee and hates raisins
- He hates to diet and loves to sleep
- He's orange and furry and was portrayed by a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 1984
- His 54th book came out in September, 2012
The answer, of course, is Garfield, who was 'born' on June 19, 1978.

On June 17th, 1885 the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor. It was a gift of friendship from the French. It was created to serve as a tribute to America's victory over the British in the American Revolution. The Statue of Liberty was designed by French sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, who modeled it after his mother! Here are some other amazing facts about this beautiful American landmark:
-Lady Liberty measures 111 feet, 1 inch from her heels to the top of her head.
-The statue weighs 225 tons or 450,000 pounds.
-In 1885, the statue was shipped from France in 350 individual pieces packed in over 200 containers!
-Her crown has seven spikes, which represent the seven continents and the seven seas. There are also 25 windows in her crown that people may look out of when visiting.
-The French contributed $250,000 to the making of the Statue of Liberty. That would be about $5.5 million today.
-When the wind blows at 50 miles per hour or more, the statue sways up to three inches, while the torch bends up to five inches!
-Watch a live streaming view of New York Harbor from the Statue of Liberty's torch!

Check out the new cover for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone created by artist Kazu Kibuishi, author of Amulet graphic novels.
For 15 years, Harry Potter has been part of the lives of many youth, and adults. The books have been translated into 72 languages.
From The Guardian newspaper, "15 Things The Boy Wizard Is Responsible For", here's a little trivia:
- Kings Cross is the location of the elusive Platform 9 ¾, gateway to Hogwarts.
- The first Harry Potter was published by indie publishing house Bloomsbury, upon the demands of the chairman's daughter.
- Once rejected as irrelevent, Latin is being read, learned and repeated by young readers.
- The owl market has probably double or triple overnight. Sadly, for some owls, this has meant being abandoned, as they make for stinky pets who are likely to nip.
- There's a new condition called the "Hogwarts headache", coined by a doctor who described "a tension headache possibly accompanied by neck or wrist pains, caused by unhealthily long reading sessions of Harry Potter."
- Have you heard the band Harry and The Potters? Yes, this is a real band, yes, they do play gigs. And they continue to tour the US.

Comments about Portland Design Works 3Wrencho:
I bought this product as an addition to my Topeak Alien to service my Retrospec Beta. Normally at home I have a full tool set, but out here in the middle of no where I needed just the essentials. So far I have removed and reinstalled the wheels on my bike several times and changed and rotated the tires with it. What a great product. The coating is probably the best part--the thick plastic layer around the galvanized steel allows you to slide it along your rims or knock it into painted surfaces on your frame without worrying about it scratching or chipping the paint. Its probably heavy ehough that some users will want to leave it at home, but I carry it around for any emergency tire changes. Its perfect for fixies and city-bikes with bolt-on hubs; pick one up and leave the crescent wrench at home.
Comments about Portland Design Works 3Wrencho:
Very sturdy tool, and a good lever to boot. I've used it to mount/remove tubeless tires onto stubborn rims (with other levers...one isn't quite enough). The coating on the tool helps protect the finish of your rims, and it is actually thinner than the large coated Park levers. The wide lip makes it easy to get a good section of bead without it popping out.
Of course, the tool has a 15mm wrench on it, and it works well for emergency repairs. As PDW suggests, you can get better leverage by stepping on the tool
The only gripe, as mentioned by the other reviewer, is that the tool is fairly expensive for what it is. If you can find it on sale, it is a definite good buy.

Comments about Portland Design Works 3Wrencho:
I love this thing!!!
I went with the non coated version (simple) to reduce the overall cost. I had a number of flats in the past 2 weeks, but I lost my long 15mm wrench. I was worried about getting this little guy, but its smaller (easier to carry), lighter (cause it's small, duh), and stronger (wide head and thicker). It does a much better job of than my wrench which is 2 or 3 times as long.
On the minus side, this guy is about 3 times more than a wrench, easy to carry and lose. However, it has a built in tire lever so its a wheel/tire removal solution.
~ only thing missing is a pump. ;)
I'm very frugal (cheap) when it comes to bike gear, but even so I think this guy is a GREAT buy. VERY HAPPY!

National team competitions
Tell me you were surprised by the outcome of the EuroLeague Women Final Four and I'll tell you that you shouldn't have been.
Spartak Moscow Region did something that had never been done before by capturing the title for a third straight year.
Diana Taurasi poured in a game-high 31 points and her fellow USA international Sue Bird contributed 13 with 10 assists as Spartak prevailed 85-70.
But that's where the Salamanca team finds itself.
Going up against a team that has been a thorn in their side in Russia this season, Spartak's Diana Taurasi underlined her status as one of the world's most exciting players by scoring 33 points.

Nate Overbay, a former soldier suffering from PTSD and ALS, goes to an 11th-floor bank and climbs out the bathroom window onto the ledge, ready to end it all. But as he's steeling himself to jump, a crew of gunmen bursts into the bank and begins viciously shooting employees and customers. With nothing to lose, Nate climbs back inside, confronts the robbers, and with his military training, starts taking them out, one by one. The last man standing leaves Nate with a cryptic warning: "He will make you pay in ways you can't imagine." Soon enough, Nate learns what this means.
He is kidnapped by Pavlo, a savage Ukrainian mobster and mastermind of the failed heist. Now blocked from getting into the bank vault to retrieve the critical item inside, Pavlo gives Nate a horrifying ultimatum: Either break in and acquire the item or watch Pavlo slowly kill the people Nate loves most - his estranged wife, Janie, and his teenaged daughter, Cielle. Nate lost them both when he came back from Iraq broken and confused. Now he's got one chance to protect the people he loves, even if it's the last thing he is able to do.
©2012 Gregg Hurwitz (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature
"Shakes you to your very core."
"The Survivor" is one of those rare books that truly affects the reader. This is more than your typical thriller - the characters draw you in; the story visceral and horrifying, and Scott Brick's narration is, as always, spot on.
I listen to thrillers for pure entertainment and escape, so I wasn't prepared for the emotions brought up by "The Survivor." Hurwitz managed to touch my nerves to such an extent that, at times, I had to stop listening in order to recover from the horrible images he planted in my imagination.
Be prepared to be terrified. This is no ordinary book.
"A thrilling, edge-of-your seat cliffhanger"
This is one of the most enjoyable thrillers I've listened to in the past couple of years. A PTSD veteran with his life in shambles redeems himself to his family and the best friend he failed, all while defending himself against one of the most vicious mobsters you'll ever encounter in a novel. Even with the dire, often depressing plot, Hurwitz manages to inject some humor (a bacon-eating vegetarian) and a poignant scene in a hospital ward, where severely sick children are trick-or-treating the other inpatients on Halloween. Scott Brick, who rightfully labels himself a "performer" rather than a "reader," is at the top of his game.
Rating scale: 5=Loved it, 4=Liked it, 3=Ok, 2=Disappointed, 1=Hated it. I look for well developed characters, compelling stories.
"Better than the sum of its parts"
This was a thrill ride from the opening, setting the scene at 100 miles an hour. Then Hurwitz eases off the accelerator and backs us up to meet the characters and really know who we are dealing with. It works. I was quickly invested in both the action and the relationships, including those with the bad guys. Oh and they are really bad - the danger meter well into the red.
As with most action thrillers, there is at least some need to suspend disbelief and just roll with it, and that's true in this story too. Overall I think it was handled well, but the one weak link was the daughter's obstinancy and, in one case, impulsive behavior in the face of proven danger, that only heightened the peril to herself and her parents. I had a hard time believing that any adolescent in these circumstances would take it on herself to pull the stunt she did, but it was a device to move the story to its next level, so once I stopped rolling my eyes I just jumped back on the ride and kept going. However, it did remove one star from the story. In spite of that weakness, when assessing the overall rating I still give it a 5. I just couldn't put it down and listened well into the night to get to the end, a conclusion that matched the opening.
"Fantastic, Loved this book!!!"
I really loved this book, Scott Brick is the best Narrator, he can bring a story to life however no matter how gifted he is in his narration he cannot make a bad story good, in this case he didn't have to attempt it, excellent story, excellent narrator, perfect marraige of both! Worth a credit and then some!
Don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Trip's cool though. Use Audible to make gym-training sane... And rip my imagination.
"Liked This A Lot"
Okay, a tad manipulative and emotive, but whoa! what a fast paced and different listen. I don't want to reveal anything so I'm not going to touch the plot. The title is hint enough. I have not liked Scott Brick in other places and times… This time, I get his fan appeal. Gosh he's atop this read. He was virtually invisible and his characters instead played around my imagination with power.
Yep, this is a taut thriller with twists that frequently made me mutter, "Oh!". I'm off to find another Gregg Hurwitz and I've referred it to two friends already, only hours after it ended audibly, but I'm sure these characters won't stop careening around my mind for a while.
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"Intense violence, action packed..."
Way too violent for my tastes, but plot had me tightly held before it hit, and I did finish it late into the night. I quite enjoyed the story, although it was improbable and I consciously had to accept the over the top premise and... Language is clean, no sexual messiness, writing skills decent. Nice family guy with PTSD versus the Russian mafia to protect his family. Scott Brick always does a great job on narration. My husband would love this... me... way too many images I really hope I will forget.
I love books!
First time author for me, suggested by audible. An ill, depressed ex-soldier suffering from PTSD in Afghanistan gets in trouble with the Ukranian mafia in LA. If you can believe it, the Ukranian mafia is worse than the Russian mafia, which means they're very bad! This story is how he works through it all. Sometimes it seemed a bit implausible but, hey, it was entertaining. If you like this genre then you'd like this story.
Don't miss the Bino Phillips series by AW Gray. They are largely unknown, but as good as any ive read!
"Suspenseful is an understatement."
When I read the summary I wondered if this was going to be like Die Hard, which wouldn't be bad. But no, this is much more complicated.
The mystery and suspense not withstanding, Hurwitz spins a desperate drama of a man suffering from LDS, even more so from PTSD. It is a story of reconciliation and redemption.
The mystery is why the hero is hunted. The suspense comes in so many parts I cannot think of how to describe it. There is so much suspense I grew a bit weary at times, but no way I was quitting on this book.
An interesting note, Hurwitz uses a ghost to portray the hero's conscience in clever way. He then introduces a living shadow of the ghost in the form of the daughter's boyfriend.
"Awesome Book"
I couldn't put this book down once I started it. There were a lot of twists and turns that kept you eager to read more - and prevented the book from being predictable!
If you're wondering whether it's worth a credit - It Certainly Is and you won't regret it.
This is one of those books that I'll read again in time.
retired writer
"PTSD and Depression Makes A Hero"
I enjoyed this thriller/mystery about an ex-soldier suffering the after effects of a tour of duty in Iraq. He is suffering PTSD, depression and carrying an ALS death sentence. His military training kicks in when he faces a crises even though he is in middle of his own depressing episode. He becomes the town's hero but his real trouble has just begun. This is a real cliff hanger/thriller. I couldn't stop reading. I was holding my breath that this Good Samaritan will overcome the complications in his life and receive a redeeming medical diagnosis. I didn't see the ending coming until the very last minute. The entire drama had some comedic relief but not much. It was intense from beginning to the very end.
I am a Lee Child's Reacher fan and love narrator Scott Brick....Brick performed this novel so well that I did not think of Reacher once! and that's saying something... Recommend.

Juninho continues his scoring run, reveals his favorite goal of his MLS career.
Juninho continues his scoring run, reveals his favorite goal of his MLS career.
CARSON, Calif. -- Another game, another fantastic performance for Juninho.
The LA Galaxy midfielder scored two impressive goals in Saturday night's 4-2 victory for the Galaxy over Toronto FC. Juninho opened the scoring in the 11th minute after a Luis Silva foul on Christian Wilhelmsson forced a free kick on the edge of the box that Juninho curled past goalkeeper Freddy Hall. The Brazilian added a second in the 33rd, firing a shot from distance that left Hall helpless. With his brace, Juninho has now scored seven goals on the season setting an MLS career high for the Brazilian.
"Every single time that there is space in front of me, I'm going to take a shot," said Juninho after the match. "And today, I just got lucky."
But even though the Brazilian was admittedly pleased with his performance, the goal was by no means his favorite as he admtited that the strike below from the July 4th, 2010 against the Seattle Sounders was his all time favorite.
What do you think? What's your favorite Juninho goal.

Tom tapped through his guitar pedals, a smile creeping across his bearded face as he prepped for the next song. It wasn't as if Sunday night's show was lacking anything to that point. "Honey Bee" stormed in early in the set, bringing along with it a smokin' version of J.J. Cale's "Thirteen Days" that seemed to pair perfectly with the epic blues rocker "Good Enough." Hearing "House in the Woods" is pretty rare, but getting "Walls" - the single off She's the One - in the same night almost never happens. "Woman In Love" was electric, and "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" went further out than it has this entire tour.
So I don't think anyone was expecting it when Tom strode to the mike backed by a wall of guitars and began singing:
"Mama, take this badge off of me.
I can't use it anymore.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
Feeling like I'm knockin' on heaven's door."
