Sign-ups and Backstory
1. All Kong rules apply.
[This only apply if you signed up before the game started.]2. You are not born in the 24th century. Therefor, you have no knowledge of the technology, the people and similar.
3. Godmodding is allowed, but only conversations, if the user is inactive.
4. I am God. Therefor, everything I say is true.
5. Don't expect me to read 100% of posts. If I interrupt you, please message me.
6. I don't accept following units: inch, foot, mile, gallon, barrel, other american and uk only units. I only accept SI-Units and the metric system.
7. Don't act like koopa112. He is a noob.
Current situation:
Survivors: You can do what you want in the ship.
Others: You are assinged to interact with the survivors.
I look around the room. Strange, I don't remember ever seeing robots in the world before. Or this weird thing on my stomach either. "Wait, why are there robots around here? Where are we?"
I wake up and see robots. ''Where am i?'' I ask. Then i see the other survivors. I then ask a robot. ''What year is it?''
The voice of a woman draws my attention. "Do you remember anything?" my neck strains as I look in her general direction, and the restraints tighten around my wrists. "I recall my boyfriend and I having dinner in our apartment but…nothing else, oddly enough." A puzzled look washes over my face, followed by shock. "Did we get kidnapped?"
[Oh! I caught the game before it got too far into the plot!]
My eyes open as I try to focus on a white room around me. A couple of blurry shapes are in what seem like beds around me, and a weird grey thing is moving around the room. Suddenly my vision focuses. I look down at my arms instantly… no red dots. No Ebola! No more dying! Then I see something on my stomach. A weird gadget thing is apparently lying on me, and it looks important. I look around the room a bit more. "Robots? No more Ebola? What year is this!? 2100?"
I open my eyes, and fling upwards. I see a strange device on my chest.
"Chto eto mozhet bytʹ ? Eto, veroyatno, budet vazhno," I mutter in Russian.
I place the device in my pocket, before walking to another survivor.
She is Spanish, and looks confused.
"Zdravstvuĭte, chto vy imya? Shahta Anastasiya."
I hate Spanish people. Such a lesser culture.
[tracy, the device is as big as your belly.]
Dr. Stephanie Loarn
I look through a mirror/window [Like the ones at the police.]. I notice that some wake up. I then activate the com.
"Dr. Loarn to bridge. The human wake up. Shall I introduce them to the future?"
"No, let them talk to each other a while. You can help them later on."
"Yes, Sir."
I continue observing the humans. Pretty strange, do they have a message to the future?
"That woman wasn't lying after all. The snake bite… no more headaches, thank God. And no constant bleeding…" I smile, and look around the room. Others are waking up, in a similar state of amazement and shock. "Cyrogenics… but how did they get past the freezing state? The hypothermia.." I peer into the freezing machine, and find complicated microcircuitry. "Interesting," I mutter to myself. "Of course, based on Newton's Cradle… the temperature would swing until stabilized… but what an extraordinary idea!"
I put y head up and see were in a machine type thing in SPACE ''What is this'' i shout. ''What year is it?''
I turn to the panicky man. "There's no need to panic. In fact, panicking will contract your brain cells and make you unable to function well."
The future, cryogenics… of course! It worked. I'm alive, like that doctor promised me. My pulse increased at the very thought. I may be in the future but at least I'm not dead!
Hmm i get up and walk to the window where the robots are looking at us. ''Hey, bring us back to earth'' i say as i then walk away from the window. I see if i still have my gun. But i dont.
I look up at the person talking to me in a language I don't recognise. "Sorry, I don't speak that language. Speak English?"
"Oh yes, just checking if you knew Russian. I assume you speak Spanish?
[Pretend I put the device on my bed instead of my pocket.]
"A bit, not much. I'm from Spain, but I moved to England at a very early age, and I didn't hear Spanish that much while I was growing up."
"I see, yes. I guess I shouldn't make assumptions, now should I?
I move around to fake being uncomfortable.
"Um, why are you here?"
"I got AIDS." Judging by the look on her face, I'm guessing she jumped to a horrific conclusion. "From a science experiment."
"Okay. I thought… um… never mind."
I wonder what I should tell her. Not about the fever.
"I was stricken with stomach cancer."
"Hey, how'd you guys manage to—" The restraints suddenly came undone. "Oh," I whispered, "Never mind." Straightening myself out, I studied the others in the room. These people look nice enough, maybe we'll get along.
"Funny thing is, I knew some people who were working on a cure for cancer. Not funny for you, obviously, because you have it, I mean… nevermind. I wonder how far they got with that." Judging by how lackadaisical they were, I'm guessing not very. Still, you never know.
I turn to Sarah. "Actually, they came very close. If the cancer cells could be flushed from the system using some sort of systematic filter, perhaps microbugs, we might have gotten a cure for cancer. The problem is funding and time."
Suddenly, I realize that everyone's talking about their diseases.
"By the way, I got a snake bite while working on a volunteer project to deliver food to the old and disabled. Ever heard of Parcel of Bread?"
"Of course."
I've never even heard of it. Maybe it's been mentioned, but I'm from Russia, not the U.S."
"What about it?"
"The f*ck is all that rucus?" I ask after waking up.
I notice that my voice is a bit lower. I finished puberty? I know I'm 13, but I don't think that my voice should've changed overnight. Wait… I open my eyes. "What is all this?" I say as I look around the room.

The 3800 is the best choice for the majority of serious Bowhunters and/or 3D Shooters; a no compromise bow with speed to burn. The speed this bow is capable of makes judging distance a less critical part of the equation. Some shooters have found that when they switch to the 3800 they can drop down in bow weight and still shoot the same arrows faster and flatter. Because of Darton's continued efforts to improve, one of the main features that set the 3800 apart from the rest of the crowd is its shootabilty. With its smooth draw cycle, forgiving valley, and dampened shooting characteristics, Darton has truly created "A Muscle Bow with Manners!"

'??Most kings succeed someone who is already dead. My predecessor is still very much alive. It'??s a bloody mess,'?ù says King George VI (Colin Firth). He'??s speaking to his language coach, Australian commoner Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). '??Bertie'?ù '?? as George is known within his royal family '?? has a stammer, an impediment since he was 5. He is a reluctant monarch, succeeding to the throne after his older brother, Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), abdicates to marry, as he famously said, '??the woman I love,'?ù Wallis Simpson, scandalously divorced, bossy American from Baltimore (Eve Best). Now, in 1939, Britain is on the verge of war with Nazi Germany and the King must speak to the Empire on the radio.Do Logue'??s unorthodox speech strategies work? Can the King overcome his insecurities and his stammer? Will you applaud this brilliant film? Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush deserve the Oscars for which the Academy has nominated them (Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor). Firth'??s performance is splendid '?? nuanced, skillful and affecting. He'??s the insecure and private middle brother of domineering father, King George V, and distant mother, Queen Mary, both nicely underplayed by Michael Gambon and Claire Bloom. Australian actor Geoffrey Rush expertly plays expansive, out-going and funny Lionel Logue, failed actor who taught himself speech therapy working with shell-shocked World War I veterans. Firth and Rush are a pleasure to watch.Others in the cast include Helena Bonham Carter as loving and loyal Queen Elizabeth (also Academy nominated), Guy Pearce as feckless Edward VIII, Derek Jacobi as fussy Archbishop Cosmo Lang, Timothy Spall as blustering Winston Churchill, Jennifer Ehle as unflappable Laurie Logue, and Anthony Andrews as Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. A Who'??s Who of British/Australian acting aristocracy.'??The King'??s Speech'?ù is a splendid example of first-class filmmaking. Directed by Tom Hooper, script by David Seidler, it'??s a great personal story '?? entertaining, affective, and evocative of the time (late 1930s) and place (pre-war Depression Britain). Not an epic, its focus is on George and Lionel, unlikely friends at the heart of the film. Their talk is a treat. '??My physicians say smoke relaxes the larynx,'?ù says George. '??They'??re idiots,'?ù says Lionel. '??They'??ve all been knighted,'?ù says the King. '??Then it'??s official,'?ù Lionel says.R-rated for language (Bertie doesn'??t stutter when he swears; he uses the F-word 43 times), the film runs 118 minutes. Elegant cinematography by Danny Cohen. Music by Alexandre Desplat, Mozart and Beethoven. Adult fare. It lives up to its hype.Colin Firth is George VI,Splendid in '??The King'??s Speech,'?ùSo is co-star Geoffrey Rush,Lionel, the King'??s teach.

"Freedom is our goal!" roared commander Pepe San Roman to the men assembled before him 49 years ago this week. "Cuba is our cause! God is on our side! On to victory!"
Fifteen hundred men crowded before San Roman at their Central American training camps that day. The next day they'd embark for a port in Nicaragua, the following day for a landing site in Cuba named Bahia De Cochinos (Bay of Pigs). Their outfit was known as Brigada 2506, and at their commander's address the men (and boys, some as young as 16) erupted.
A scene of total bedlam unfolded. Hats flew. Men hugged. Men sang and cheered. Men wept. The hour of liberation was nigh -- and these men (all volunteers) were putting their lives on the line to see their dream fulfilled. Their dream was a Cuba free from the Soviet barbarism that tortured it, free from firing squads, torture chambers and the teeming Castroite Gulag.
The Brigada included men from every social strata and race in Cuba -- from sugar cane planters to sugar cane cutters, from aristocrats to their chauffeurs. But mostly the folks in between, as befit a nation with a larger middle class than most of Europe.
"They fought like Tigers," wrote a CIA officer who helped train these Cuban freedom-fighters. "But their fight was doomed before the first man hit the beach."
That CIA man, Grayston Lynch, knew something about fighting -- and about long odds. He carried scars from Omaha Beach, The Battle of the Bulge and Korea's Heartbreak Ridge. But in those battles, Lynch and his band of brothers could count on the support of their own chief executive.
At the Bay of Pigs, Lynch and his band of Cuban brothers learned -- first in speechless shock and finally in burning rage -- that their most powerful enemies were not Castro's Soviet-armed and led soldiers massing in Santa Clara, Cuba, but the Ivy League's Best and Brightest dithering in Washington.
Lynch trained, in his own words, ''brave boys most of whom had never before fired a shot in anger." Short on battle experience, yes, but they fairly burst with what Bonaparte and George Patton valued most in a soldier -- morale. They'd seen the face of Castro/Communism point-blank: stealing, lying, jailing, poisoning minds, murdering.

From Barnes & Noble
Clive Cussler's popular Isaac Bell series fast forwards to 1920. With Prohibition ramping into full gear, bootleggers move aggressively to catch a piece of the action. One group appears particularly ruthless: A group of zealot Bolshevik agents have committed themselves to funding a new American revolution with the fruits of their murders and larceny. After his detective agency boss is caught in the crossfire of this would-be power grab, Bell himself takes charge of the fight against the red rum-runners. An action-packed entry in a series that gets better with each installment. Now in mass-market paperback and NOOK Book.

I can't take credit for that headline.
I can't take credit for that headline.
Congratulations, you've finally found "the one" or you defiled her so badly last night that you feel obligated to at least take her out for breakfast.
One-night stands, there is a right way to do it and a wrong way.
Women don't really want to be kicked out of your house at 2:30 in the morning for several reasons, so here's a system that makes having them spend the night tolerable.
As much as I'd love for my physical encounters with women to be devoid of anything but sex (feelings, courtship, effort, any action that doesn't resemble thrusting), I know that's not the world I'm in.
Total role reversal.
There's nothing like a night on the town that ends with you and a girl you just met, touching each other in a darkened corner of a bar—her with a vodka cranberry and splash of lime, you with probably… liquor—both aware it's time to get the hell out of there and fuck.
If there's one thing that's puzzling about dating in general, it's how to label your relationship.
Rise and shine, you beautiful man.
Imagine this: You wake up next to some bird, you're sweating, your head is reenacting a World War II battle, and her hand is awkwardly positioned under your back so it's like your sitting on a land mine.

text: Posted 1st August 2014 at 12:18 pm After spending the first half of the 2013/14 season on loan at BL6, Kevin McNaughton re-joined Wanderers on a season-long loan deal in July 2014. The defender started his career with Aberdeen in 1999, with his versatility often seeing him lining up anywhere in defence or midfield. Having established himself as a regular in the Dons' backline during the 2000/01 season, McNaughton's performances the following year earned him an international debut for Scotland against Jay-Jay Okocha's Nigeria, as well as the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award. With injury problems curtailing his progress over the next two seasons, McNaughton eventually returned to form before moving on to pastures new as he joined Cardiff City on a free transfer in May 2006. With promotion to the Premier League his aim following his move to South Wales, McNaughton had to suffer many failed attempts, including a Championship Play-Off Final defeat in 2010, before the Bluebirds did finally secure their place in the top flight as Championship winners in 2013. Also a member of the Cardiff City side that lost to both Portsmouth and Liverpool in the 2008 FA Cup Final and 2012 League Cup Final respectively, McNaughton has firmly established himself as a Bluebirds' fan-favourite. After being allowed to join Bolton on loan in September 2013, McNaughton's performances at Macron Stadium saw him handed a starting place in the Cardiff defence following his return to the Cardiff City stadium in January 2014.

Ever since multi-rail PSUs were introduced, we've seen enthusiasts adamantly claim that one or the other PSU type is better. Some claim single rail is better for overclocking. Some claim multi-rail is safer. Single rail is cleaner. Multi-rail more efficient. The list goes on and on, so who's right? People on either side argue their points and pick up uninformed followers along the way, resulting in the same rehashed marketing over and over again from companies playing on this vehement fanboyism: A single strong 12v rail! Multi-rail for extra stability! Blah blah. Which is better? How does this apply to me? Keep reading, and I may just give you an answer.

LIMA� Gov. John Kasich says he wants more collaboration in education, but school officials wonder how that can be true when his proposed budget cuts funding to Educational Service Centers.
The proposal seems to defy logic, Allen County ESC Superintendent John Rockhold said.
�We are providing the services that only our school districts and others in the community want and need that we can do effectively at less cost than they can do it otherwise,� Rockhold said. �It is a shared services model to save taxpayers money, and this budget proposal kind of flies in face of the beyond-boundaries model that they have created.�
Statewide, the ESC operating subsidy will be reduced from $35.6 million in 2013 to $26.7 million in 2014 and $21.36 in 2015.
The Allen County ESC currently gets $292,328 from the state, $25.36 per pupil. That will drop to $19.02 in 2014 and to $15,22 in 2015. By law, an ESC cannot take a tax levy to voters.
Putnam County Superintendent Jan Osborn said his ESC got about $270,000 12 years ago but gets only $152,000 this year. That is expected to drop to less than $120,000 under Kasich�s proposal.
�I�ve heard that the goal is to get funding closest to students as possible, and I support that part,� Osborn said. �But I also believe there are many functions and roles that we can play that are cost-effective and help with efficiency and improve the quality of education for children.�
On top of the operating subsidy, ESCs currently get $6.50 per pupil to support quiz bowl, spelling bees, gifted supervision, bus driver trainings and physicals, substitute teacher recruitment, and teacher applications and certifications. The Allen County ESC spends $20,000 a year just on quiz bowl. Under Kasich�s proposal, the money would stay in districts instead of going to the ESC.
�If we are going to continue to do those kinds of things, we are going to have to have a different business model with our schools,� Rockhold said. �Many of those aspects I am sure they will want to keep.�
The Putnam County ESC partners with the schools and even the village of Ottawa to offer programs. Osborn said the program list is long, including its migrant school.
�There becomes a point when it becomes impossible to keep those things going,� he said.
Money for preschool pupils with disabilities also is leaving ESCs and going directly to districts. School districts are required to serve those students, but Rockhold said most in the county don�t have enough of them to start their own classroom. It would not be cost effective, he said.
District officials are not sure where the money redirected to them is. Bath schools Superintendent Dale Lewellen asked if the money is part of funding estimates released by the state last week or additional funds. Bath is one of the few local districts to expect an increase in state funding. Estimates show it getting 25 percent increases each year of the two-year budget, but Lewellen said that extra money could quickly go away if Bath has to pay the ESC for services.
�If we still need those services, and many of us will, we are going to have to pay the ESC for those services,� he said. �If less are utilizing them, the expense is going to be higher, and those districts that are getting no increase are actually getting a decrease. It is just the shell game. We have seen it happen so many times, and I am concerned that it is happening again.�
Sixty percent of school districts in the state will not see any increases in state funding during the next two years. That is true for many in the region, including all of Putnam County.
Allen East schools also isn't getting an increase. Superintendent Michael Richards said if the ESC is forced to charge districts for needed services, his district will lose funding.
�That creates a burden� Richards said. �It is a little bit of a hidden cost. � It is going to cost us more out of our carryover and balance.�
There is a point, he said, where districts might have to look at funding programs themselves. A change in the law a few years ago also permits districts to shop around among ESCs for the best bargain.
�We certainly don�t want to do that,� Richards said. �We are an Allen County school and feel really good about the Allen County ESC and what they do, but at some point we have to protect our taxpayers and investment of our school dollars.�
Osborn supports the governor�s budget proposal's promise to provide more funding for children with disabilities and at-risk preschool children. He just hopes ESCs can be part of that work and that ongoing dialogue can continue.
�I am supportive of the overall picture, but I don�t think we should be penalized any more than anyone else,� he said. �But I am optimistic that we can make the point that they need to invest in ESCs.�

Re: Rock Hall gouge?
Donna suggestion of Swan Creek is a good one, We go there a couple of times a year usually. If you want to be closer to the action there are mooring going in, not sure whose they are.
There are also a couple of first class mainias back in there in Haven Harbor and Osprey Point. Along the way in is Gratitude.
This section is a 1 mile walk from Haven Harbor to the town center. NOt sure if the trolly is still running or not like it does in the summer.
If you want to go to Rock Hall Central heading in where the Watermans Cafe is may be another idea

Orthos / Q6600 question
I tried running orthos for a bit last night in vista with the quad core gadget thingy also running and noticed that while running core's 1 and 2 where being stressed but 3 and 4 where not. Does it not work with quads?
Re: Orthos / Q6600 question
you have to run 2 instances and change the affinity of the program to cores 1 & 2 and cores 3 & 4.
you right click on the process under the task manager to set the affinity just in case you didn't know
Re: Orthos / Q6600 question
Thanks I just figured that out :) Also downloaded the newest ver of prime95, it supports quads.
Re: Orthos / Q6600 question
Yeah, use Prime95 and forget Orthos.

"Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy."
-- Dan Gable, NCAA and Olympic wrestling champion
VINCENT GOMEZ PORES OVER a bowl of fettuccine and ponders this quote from perhaps the most famous American wrestler, a line that has been reprinted on posters and T-Shirts and signs in wrestling rooms all over the country.
But it gives Gomez, a senior at Frontier High, pause.
It's not that Gomez disagrees with Gable; it's just that he's not so sure it applies to him.
"Almost everything else is easy," Gomez says. "I mean, wrestling has definitely helped me get through the bad things that have gone in my life."
Gomez is all about wrestling these days.
The CIF State Championships begin this morning in Rabobank Arena, and if all goes according to plan, he'll be wrestling for the 126-pound state title at 7:15 Saturday night.
"Whenever I'm at school, it's hard to pay attention," says Gomez, whom The California Wrestler website ranks No. 1 in the state at his weight, "because the only thing on my mind is state and how I'm going to do. I'm always thinking about wrestling. I owe it to myself and to my parents that I'm up on that podium.
"I'm so stoked. This is my last shot."
It's also the last chapter of a high school career that started with promise — and tragedy. In the middle, there was glory, missteps, heartache and everything in between.
"He's had a journey that most wrestlers, most people, have never had to deal with," Frontier coach Kirk Moore says. "There have been a lot of highs and a lot of lows, and we're kind of back on the right track right now. We're hoping to end on a good note."
The journey started with tragedy. Gomez was a month away from entering Frontier on July 23, 2009, when sherriff's officials found his mother, Andrea Santa Cruz, and stepfather, Angel Santa Cruz, fatally shot inside their home. An investigation later concluded Angel had shot Andrea and then taken his own life.
"There were no signs something like that was going to happen," Gomez says. "At first it just didn't feel real. That heartache ... that heartache I felt the first day it happened, it still hasn't gone away.
"My mom lived for us. She did everything for us. I was a momma's boy, big-time. It's still always in my mind. I just try to focus on the good memories of her."
For a 14-year-old with few other places to turn, Gomez threw himself even deeper into family and wrestling. He and his older sister Alex, a national champion girls wrestler who also wrestled for Frontier, were inseparable. They moved back in with their father, Fidencio Gomez, to the house in which they grew up training. The Titans coaches, Moore and assistant Daniel Chapman, became like surrogate parents.
"All we tried to do is provide a system of support," Moore says. "We just wanted to allow them to lean on us and use wrestling as a tool to grind their way through it. I think wrestling allowed them to cope with it better than most people would have. It makes you mentally tough. And I think they were able to draw on that — and still do."
Vincent has no doubt: The mat was a place where things made sense.
"Wrestling helps more than anything else I try to do to cope," he says. "I was kind of in shock for a long time. After something that traumatic happens, it's like nothing else feels real. But in wrestling, I knew what I needed to do."
In fact, wrestling was always the easy part for Gomez.
He started when Fidencio enrolled him in club wrestling at 3 years old.
"The youngest age group for wrestling is 5-6 years old, but he caught on real fast," Fidencio says. "I had people coming up to me and accusing me of cheating on his age. And I would say, 'He's actually so young he's not supposed to be wrestling.' I got in the habit of carrying around his birth certificate."
Fidencio and Andrea, who divorced in 2000, took Alex and Vincent to wrestling tournaments all over the state — and eventually all over the country.
"We'd do a tournament here in Kern County or Tulare County on Saturdays, then shoot over to Los Angeles for their tournaments, which were on Sundays," Fidencio says. "When he got to be older, we'd do tournaments in Tulsa, Okla., in Reno, other places in Nevada, Arizona. That was basically our life."
Fidencio speaks from an RV outside Rabobank Arena, where he's preparing to watch Vincent at state for the final time. He chokes up at the thought of Andrea.
"His mom was a big part of his wrestling life," Fidencio says. "She would set up all those trips. She would get us the hotel rooms, for my daughter and for Vincent. I still get a big lump in my throat, just talking about her. It still affects me."
Fidencio says if Andrea were here, she'd have an RV next to his at Rabobank. The state tournament has always been the ultimate goal for a family that so loved wrestling that Fidencio converted his garage into a wrestling room for Alex and Vincent.
But here, too, Vincent's story is star-crossed. For him, the state meet hasn't been kind.
Gomez finished his freshman season ranked No. 2 in the state at 103 pounds and thought he was ready to take Rabobank by storm. He cruised to the quarterfinals, where Poway's Victor Lopez awaited. Gomez had defeated Lopez earlier in the season and seemed to be controlling this match early, but he made one misstep. Lopez flashed Gomez onto his back, and the referee quickly slapped the mat. It took 36 seconds, and Gomez still remembers every detail.
"The ref called a real fast pin," he says. "I didn't think he had me down. And it tore me up."
Unable to recover mentally, Gomez slipped to sixth place. The funk lasted through his sophomore year, when Gomez won another section title but was unable to place at the state meet.
Then, as a junior, Gomez was suspended from Frontier for disciplinary reasons and transferred to Shafter High for the rest of the year. He couldn't compete in any activities.
"I lost a whole year," Vincent says. "Who knows what could have happened, and I didn't give myself the chance. It's my fault; I never should have allowed that to be in my truck."
That left Gomez, who once dreamed he could match Darrell Vasquez's unparalleled mark of four state championships, with one last chance to win gold.
"That mistake, no matter how little he thought it was, cost him dearly," Moore says. "At that point, for us, it was like we had already lost him. We just had to hope he would find his way back. And sometimes you have to hit bottom to find your way back."
This season, Gomez (36-3) lost close early matches to Porterville's Mason Pengilly, who has since dropped to 120 pounds, and to Judson Preskitt of Kingston (Pa.)-Wyoming Seminary, but he dominated the rest of his weight class.
"As far as pure talent, he might not be as talented as some of the kids who have come through, like Darrell Vasquez, Nathan Morgan," says Moore, who won a state title for Foothill in 1998. "But you measure him on toughness, and there's not many people who are just that tough. If you're in a streetfight, he's going to fight his way out of it. He's as tough as anybody who's ever wrestled in Bakersfield."
Gomez has won two of three bouts with state No. 2 Michael Knoblauch of Clovis West, the only wrestler in his bracket to beat him. But Gomez says he won't overlook any opponent, a mistake that might have cost him in his freshman season.
"He's a lot more mature now, and I just see him being a lot more focused," says sister Alex, who attended Point Loma Nazarene University for a year before transferring to Cal State Bakersfield and moving back home. "It's his last year, so we all realize how important it is."
Wrestling has always been the easy part for Gomez, but state championships don't come easy. Either way, his high school career, for all its ups and downs, is about to come to a close.
As he reflects on that, Gomez, normally a whirlwind of activity, takes a long pause.
"I owe it to myself, and that's number one, but I owe it to the people who have invested in me and put in time for me," he says. "That's a big deal to me. That's a very big deal. And this is my last shot."

Significant impact derives from the scientific broadening and understanding of the U.S. investigators resulting not only from the research per se, but also from foreign visits. They provided opportunities for deeper insight and appreciation for needs, constraints, utilization, and application of BNF both inside and outside the United States. Scientists are people who not only exchange technology but also philosophy, ethics, and ways of conducting research. The scientific method is a useful paradigm for democratic processes. We learn from each other.

Our karma keeps accumulating, and there is a huge bundle of karma known as 'sanchita karma' which we have added over several births. Of this bundle, that which is responsible for the present birth and our experiences in it is known as 'prarabdha karma'.
It is said that when we totally surrender ourselves at the feet of Lord Narayana, there will be no rebirth and that we will attain moksha. The question is: What happens to our karma and how can we escape its effects?
There is yet another aspect that raises questions in our minds: What about our actions after 'saranagati' (surrender)? How can we not pay for these actions? We do good deeds meriting rewards ('punya') and sins meriting punishment ('papa'), even after saranagati. So what happens then? Our sins can be classified into those we do without our knowledge and those we do with full awareness of what we are doing. In the case of the latter, if we have done saranagati, the punishment will be smaller.
The important point to note, however, is that punishments are all effected in this birth. The Lord will not go back on His promise to grant us moksha if we surrender, said Valayapet Ramachariar, in a discourse.
What happens, however, if we die before we have paid for our sins? The effects of our punyas go to those who have been kind to us, and the effects of our sins go to those who have been ill-disposed towards us. The Lord does not forgive unkindness and disrespect to His devotees. That is why we should take care never to offend them.
There are some things which are likely to bring us trouble if we keep on doing them. If someone insults us, we should not retaliate but feel sorry for him for, by insulting us, he takes on the burden of our sins too.
Doing that which displeases the Lord is a sin, and insulting His devotees displeases Him and is, therefore, a sin.
Bhakti yoga is difficult for we do not know how strong we will be physically. We do not know what our lifespan is going to be.
Therefore, the best option for us is to surrender at His feet, and He will assuredly grant us moksha.

Course Description
This class meets from 5 pm - 8 pm Wednesday and 8 am - 3 pm Thursday
It has taken several decades for executives to become convinced that project management can and does work well.With this realization, executives have begun delegating more authority to project managers with regard to both project and business decision-making, and have also recognized the application of project management to more long-term, complex projects that require the use of virtual teams.
We have changed our definition of project success to include more elements than just the triple constraints. Benefits and value are now part of the success criteria along with business components. However, on the large, complex projects, which may take years to complete, there may exist a multitude of stakeholders all of whom have a different success criteria for the project. Project managers must now become experts in stakeholder relations management where topics such as politics, culture, religion, virtual teams, and managing resources with questionable capabilities take on paramount importance.
Essential Elements:
- The driving forces for better Metrics
- Understanding Metrics
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Understanding Targets for Metrics and
- Understanding The Importance of Value
- Understanding Value-Based Metrics
- Understanding Dashboards
- Metrics Management Concerns
Who should attend: Designed for managerial personnel, project managers, and anyone involved in leveraging the organization by using project management as a strategic management tool.

The Everyday Price Index (EPI) was unchanged in April after increasing 0.8 percent in March. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), on the other hand, recorded a 0.2 percent gain.
A healthy corporate America provides a solid foundation for capital markets and continued economic expansion.
Despite Weak First-Quarter GDP Gain, Top-Line Sales Growth Remains Decent.
Inflation in March stayed sluggish, still substantially below the Fed's 2 percent target. Our latest Inflation Pressure Scorecard points to an overall easing for the months ahead: Nine indicators show rising inflationary pressure, 12 suggest falling pressure, and two are stable.
Monetary Policy
Not surprisingly, no action was taken at the April meeting of the policy-making Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), in line with the public expectation fostered by the Fed officials before the gathering. While much attention focused on whether the Fed would give any additional signals about the timing of an expected interest rate increase, none emerged. Instead, the Fed left its forward guidance on rates unchanged from its March statement.

Showing signs of recovery, the global economy is projected to double in size by 2032 and nearly double again by 2050. China will outstrip the US by 2017 (measured in terms of purchasing power parity). And India is likely to become the third 'global economic giant', a long way ahead of Brazil, which we expect to move up to fourth place, ahead of Japan.
As the emerging economies become bigger and wealthier, demand for services is rising. This phenomenon is already shaping global markets: in 2010, emerging economies spent more than the G7 on imported services for the first time since reliable records began.
These long-term growth trends present many opportunities and challenges. China, India, Brazil and other emerging economies will become large consumer markets, not just low-cost production centres. And, with annual growth projected to be only 2% in the advanced economies, companies will need to look increasingly to other markets.
The booming trade in services is one area that looks particularly promising. Natural resource constraints, such as those relating to energy use and climate change, will also boost demand for new, greener technologies.
But the emerging markets can be difficult places in which to do business. The ability to understand and adapt to local rules and customs will be essential, as will the right entry strategy and, where appropriate, the right partners. Good relations with local government and regulatory bodies will also be crucial. And, in some cases, the best production centres may not be the largest consumer markets.

Setting up of high-level joint working group on labour
Minister for Non-resident Keralites' Affairs K.C. Joseph said here on Monday that the formation of a high-level joint working group on labour following discussions held by an Indian delegation with the Saudi government would be the first step towards addressing problems caused by the Nitaqat law in Saudi Arabia.
Welcoming the outcome of the discussions, the Minister said the Saudi authorities had promised that they would assist those declared 'Hurubai' under the law to return to India through legal channels. With the signing of the proposed memorandum of understanding with the kingdom, it would be possible to end unauthorised recruitments and exploitation by sponsors.
Mr. Joseph said that persons staying in Saudi Arabia without proper authorisation could get three months' time to complete procedures for making their stay legal. The discussions had helped to address concerns and find satisfactory solutions to issues.
He said none should forget that the Saudi government had sovereign rights to regulate matters in their country. All should understand the limitations of India in intervening in the matter. Any steps to address issues could be taken only in consultation with the Saudi authorities.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff's MRI revealed patella tendinitis in his right knee, the club announced Saturday. Huff, who reported pain in the knee Thursday while playing in a rehab assignment game for Class AAA Fresno, will be re-evaluated in San Francisco on Monday. The Giants were preparing to activate him from the disabled list Monday. Huff sprained the knee while trying to scale the dugout railing to join the Giants' on-field celebration following right-hander Matt Cain's perfect game on June 13. Huff played in nine rehab games: four with Fresno and five with Class A San Jose. He went 6-for-29 with a home run and four RBI.

Fraizer Campbell sees his future at Manchester United this season.
Campbell, who impressed on the club's South Africa tour, insisted: "Now I'm back at United the plan is to force my way into the first-team plans. I'm going to keep working hard and try to do enough to stay.
"It's brilliant to work alongside the great players we have here such as Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. Being a part of that can only make me a better player."

"If you walk up to the ticket stand in an amusement park you are failing yourself," Clark said. "If you look around, you can always find some sort of deals."
At Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh, Pa., tickets have gone up $1.99 this year to $33.99 but park spokesman Jeff Filicko said he doesn't expect anybody to pay that price. Many school groups show up for $20 a person and a local grocery store chain sells discounted tickets at $23. There are also discounts through AAA and Pepsi cans.
"I always tell people, in reality there's no reason they should be paying gate admission because there are so many discounts out there," Filicko said.
Even with discounts, there is still some concern about the recession.
"Ironically, last season was our best season in history. Out of 110 years, it was a high point for us. So going into this next season, we are cautiously optimistic," he said. "Across the board, Kennywood has always focused on remaining a family value. That will always be our focus, regardless of how the economy shapes up."
Down the road at sister park Sandcastle Waterpark, season passes are on sale for just $50, a $15 savings, through June 30. The park hopes to lock people in with the early deals.
They are not alone in offering deals.
Disney World isn't lowering its admission prices, but it is throwing in free meals for families that purchase a five-night package at one of the resort's hotels. (Disney is the parent company of ABC News.)
SeaWorld Orlando is offering its unlimited admission pass for the price of a regular admission and Universal Studios in Florida is offering a two-park 7-day unlimited admission deal through its Web site.
In Connecticut, Lake Compounce canceled plans to boost its season ticket price $5 to $79.95 and is offering a preseason rate of $69.95.
Six Flags has also been aggressively pricing its season passes at its various parks.
Another option for many families are summer programs at local youth centers or community organizations.
For instance, America's 2,686 YMCAs offer a number of programs for families, such as camping, swimming, as well arts and humanities programs, sports and teen leadership classes.
"At YMCAs across the country, we don't turn people away from inability to pay," said spokeswoman Mamie Moore.
There is also help for families who have lost jobs. The YMCA of Metro Atlanta, for example, is supporting members who have lost a job by offering financial assistance so they can keep their memberships by paying the full dues for up to three months.

Weiner says physicians today are still using 19th and 20th century tools "even though we have 21st century information. Physicians evaluate their patients in much the same way they have for the last 100 years they take a history, a physical exam, and then use additional exams to make a treatment plan.
"This hasn't changed because there is no effective way to connect clinical and nonclinical information in an efficient way, and we need analytical capabilities that permit us to make sense of the vast amount of information that is now being collected," he says.
"The purpose of G-DOC is to demonstrate that collecting and analyzing molecular and clinical data in tandem will permit use to make more informed decisions about patient management," Weiner says.
The hope is that every cancer patient treated by Lombardi oncologists will agree to have information on their cancer and their treatment history placed in G-DOC, with strict privacy protections, says Subha Madhavan, PhD, director of clinical research informatics the person who has led the development of G-DOC. The type of data collected and analyzed will depend on studies that require a powerful integrative and analytic platform like G-DOC, she says. And while some will be privately held within Georgetown prior to publication and broader release, other data will be accessible by the public.
"The goal of systems medicine is to empower the next generation physician to make the best decision for patients based on evidence, and G-DOC is a critical test of that approach," says Madhavan.
Madhavan says systems medicine represents an evolution in health care, integrating science, medicine, informatics, engineering, environment, economics, public policy and more to better understand and care for the human co

Clear Lake's Waddell keeps Virginia alive at CWS
By Eric Olson, Associated Press | June 24, 2014 | Updated: June 24, 2014 11:41pm

Photo By Ted Kirk/FREBrandon Waddell (20) quickly joined Virginia's on-field celebration, as the sophomore from Clear Lake was around for the end of his five-hitter.
OMAHA, Neb. - Brandon Waddell limited Vanderbilt to five hits in his first nine-inning complete game, Virginia knocked out first-round draft pick Tyler Beede in the seventh, and the Cavaliers evened the College World Series finals with a 7-2 victory Tuesday night.
Each team will be playing for its first national title in baseball in the winner-take-all Game 3 on Wednesday night.
Virginia (53-15) forced the third game after Vanderbilt (50-21) rode a nine-run third inning to a 9-8 victory in the opener.
Waddell (10-3), a former Clear Lake High School standout who pitched a solid seven innings with a no-decision against TCU a week ago, was even better against the Commodores. He didn't allow a hit in the fifth through eighth innings and retired 12 in a row before he issued a walk with two outs in the ninth.
His first official complete game came in a six-inning, rain-shortened game against Monmouth in March.
Kenny Towns and John La Prise drove in two runs apiece, and the Cavaliers finished with 13 hits against Beede (8-8) and three relievers.
The Cavaliers turned a 2-1 deficit entering the sixth inning into a 6-2 lead at the end of the seventh.
Brandon Downes drove in Virginia's third run of the sixth when his fly ball to center glanced off the heel of John Norwood's glove for a triple. Towns' third two-out single of the game brought in two more runs in the seventh.
Through five innings, Beede had limited the Cavaliers to one run on three hits and two walks, looking as sharp as he has all season. The 14th overall draft pick by the San Francisco Giants had been struggling with his control and didn't make it out of the fourth inning in his previous CWS start against UC Irvine.
He left with two outs in the seventh after allowing six runs on 10 hits and three walks.
Vanderbilt third baseman Tyler Campbell sustained a mouth cut when Mike Papi put a hard shoulder into him as he was tagged out during a ninth-inning rundown. After Papi jogged back to his dugout, Vanderbilt fans chanted "Throw him out!" Papi stayed in the game.
The Cavaliers will be playing for the Atlantic Coast Conference's first national title in baseball since Wake Forest in 1955. Vanderbilt will be going for the Southeastern Conference's fourth championship in six years.
Virginia outfielder Derek Fisher, selected by the Astros in this year's Competitive Balance Round A at No. 37 overall, was 0-for-4 with an RBI.

From Jennifer: Even if you don't recognize her face, you'll surely recognize her gorgeous peyote stitch and crystal bracelets on the cover of this month's Beadwork magazine -- today's guest blogger is Jayashree Paramesh!
Jayashree's beaded jewelry designs are rich, lush, and full of the texture and color of the traditional jewelry of India. She is a master of using peyote stitch to achieve subtle dimension in her pieces, and her use of color invokes images of faraway lands.
Today, Jayashree shares her story of how she got learned how to do peyote stitch. For an extra bonus, head over to the Beading Instructions blog to find an easy, free peyote stitch project from her!
My very first beaded jewelry project was a pink
crystal necklace with a triangular, bezeled, crystal pendant on the cover of
Beadwork magazine. I was so attracted to the design, it made me want to jump headlong
into beading! Armed with the magazine, I went to my local bead store and asked
a very nice lady to help me with the supplies. She was quite amused as she picked
out all the items, including needles and thread, with great speed. She asked me
if I had beaded before and I replied "No!" I told her I had learned bead embroidery
several years ago and was ready to try beaded jewelry. She replied, "If you
have problems, I can help you -- I am Daeng Weaver, and I designed that necklace!" Just a few days
later, I finished the peyote bezel without much problem. (But the embellished
herringbone rope was a whole other story.)
Sometimes I
wonder if my beading is related to my style of cooking! I use a variety of
spices in my cooking; a pinch of turmeric, a dash of saffron, a scoop of hot
chili peppers and a few other items from the spice box. Similarly, I have
noticed that my beaded jewelry generally incorporates a mix of stitches with a
healthy dose of peyote. Often the result is a richly textured, dimensional
piece that I love!
Get your copy of Mastering Peyote Stitch: 15 Inspiring Projects, or if you just can't wait, you can download Mastering Peyote Stitch as an eBook and be reading and beading in just minutes! It's all the same great content as the print edition, but easy to download onto your favorite desktop or laptop computer.
So, what's in your peyote stitch "cookbook"? Do you have a favorite variation that you return to when you're starting a new piece of beaded jewelry? Leave a comment here on the Beading Daily blog and share your thoughts, tips, and advice for using peyote stitch with us!
Bead Happy,
Bio: Jayashree
Paramesh was introduced to the world of beads through a bead embroidery class
she took while a student at Parsons School of Design in New York City. She is inspired
by fine jewelry and loves to use gold or silver alongside crystals and
gemstones in her designs. She posts her designs in the Beading Daily Reader Photo Gallery 'jayparam'. For her teaching schedule and information about new designs, visit her website, Nchantme.com.
Wonderful jewelry from Jayashree Paramesh!
I use peyote and bugle beads to form square beads and then embellish them with more bugles and crystals and seed beads.
I build my beads around a size 2 knitting needle and start with 3mm then add 6mm, 9mm and 12mm, depending on the size and the embellishments I'm planning. Each time I add a size I leave rows of the earlier squares exposed in a stair step effect.
I can make bangles, necklaces and beaded beads that are stars as well as pendents that look like little minarets..
It is great fun to experiment with different color ways and different crystals and shapes.

KTM 950/990 Adventure Right Mirror Mount part number?
Does anyone know this part number?
It's a KTM-manufactured part, but doesn't appear in the parts fiche for the 990. I had a dealer look it up here, in Iceland, and I think he said it was from a 690? He didn't have it in stock, and I forgot to get the part number from him.
This is the part number for the one I used on my 2012 990 adventure.
Thanks! I'll look it up.

The bars themselves are very solid, I like that these are all one solid piece, and not just some snap on end caps. Installation was simple, I had them on in just over a half hour. My only complaint is that the mounts will rust pretty quickly, They are just painted black. With a couple years in the Minnesota climate and road conditions, they'll be full of rust.

How to Become a Title Clerk: Education and Career Roadmap
Research the requirements to become a title clerk. Learn about the job description and duties, and read the step-by-step process to start a career as a title clerk.
Do I Want to Be a Title Clerk?
Title clerks research and verify documentation that accompanies any legal transfer of property. These transfers commonly involve developed real estate, automobiles, undeveloped land or oil rights. They work primarily in offices and deal with a heavy amount of paperwork and documentation, spending most of their time sitting. Some title clerks may interact directly with clients or other personnel to clear title issues and answer questions, so good communication skills are important.
Job Requirements
Most title clerk positions require a candidate to have a high school diploma or its equivalent and some experience working in customer service, in an office environment or in a relevant field. Automobile title clerks can consider becoming voluntarily certified for the possibility of career advancement. The following table shows the core requirements for title clerks:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|No degree required*
|Voluntary certification available**
|Entry-level; some employers prefer 1-2 years*
|Key Skills
|Excellent customer service skills, strong attention to detail, good verbal and written skills, multitasking abilities*
|Computer Skills
|Microsoft Office suite software*
|Additional Requirements
|Some overtime may be required*
Sources: *Employer job postings (December 2012), **New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers Academy.
Step 1: Acquire Work Experience
After earning a high school diploma or its equivalent, aspiring title clerks can start their careers by acquiring relevant work experience in entry-level positions. Many title clerk positions require a candidate to have around 1-2 years of experience providing customer service in an office environment. Depending on a candidate's field of interest, these preparatory positions can typically be found in the mortgage, property management or automotive industries.
Success Tips:
- Find jobs in field of interest. Title clerks work in a variety of industries (real estate, mortgage, automobile). Thus, acquiring relevant work experience through entry-level positions in the field may help with future job prospects.
- Build customer service and communication skills. Good customer service and strong communication skills are important factors that are highly desired by employers looking for title clerks. An aspiring title clerk might take some career development courses at community or technical colleges to improve customer service, oral and written skills. Some topics of study to consider include communications, human resources and public speaking.
Step 2: Consider Voluntary Certification
After acquiring around 1-2 years of relevant work experience, an individual typically qualifies for open title clerk positions regardless of whether certification is earned. However, earning voluntary certification can help improve career prospects by demonstrating commitment and excellence to potential employers. Voluntary certification can be found through auto dealership organizations, such as the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers (NJ CAR) Academy, to provide voluntary certification for auto title clerks. Training can typically be completed in a few days. Most certifications require successfully passing an exam after completing training.

Inter Milan ace Wesley Sneijder denies pricing himself out of a move to Manchester United.
Sneijder claims he came close to joining United and that the transfer didn't happen because he wanted to stay at the San Siro.
"For me, it was not so much a financial issue," said the Holland midfielder.
"My feeling was that I was simply feeling very good at Inter. I love the club, but also the Italian culture and the people. It fits with me.
"I just felt that it was close, yes. We had several talks. The situation was such that Inter had to sell a player, either Samuel Eto'o or me, and indeed there was interest."

I also know that Domenico came to the United States before 1915 and settled in Farrell, Mercer Co., PA. He married Anastasia CIPRIANO in 1921.
I have been able to contact decendants of Domenico to uncover the past 90 years. However, I'm having difficulty locating anyone in Italy who is willing to help me with the search. I have written to all of the Apisas currently living in Castel di Sasso (17) and only received one reply. That reply directed me to write to the daughter of Carl (listed above) and I have yet to receive a reply. Any assistance or guidance that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

The Little Theatre's Atita!... into the unknown, a science fiction production, transported children to another world
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please take your seats. The show is about to begin." As we take our seats, a commotion around us draws our attention. Suddenly, hordes of school children file in, chattering excitedly about the upcoming show. As the lights are dimmed, a hush of silence falls over the hall The appearance of a single spotlight on centre stage brings the children to their feet, ear-bursting screams fill the air. Soon dialogues start bursting through the speakers. "Captain, I see it! ATITA!" The actors don't hold back, showing off their physical and verbal antics on stage. From the moments of drama suspended on the possibility of mutiny and betrayal to side-splitting comedy, like when the lights of the spaceship suddenly fade and the character Mani states in local slang, "Sir, current pocha ingiyum?!" the play holds everyone's attention.
Directed and scripted by Krishnakumar Balasubramanian, the one-hour play complete with foot tapping numbers and high octane action, is taken to the next level by innovative futuristic sets and strobe lights and smoke machines that fascinate you.
The production shows off the talents of the cast (Prashanth Oliver, Sunny Abraham, Krishna D Ganapathi, Jagadeesh Kanna, Vikas Rao and Mridhula Sekhar) and the crew and displays the refreshing sensibilities of this local theatre joint.
The Little Theatre, brainchild of Aysha Rau, was started as a way for children to escape the everyday stresses of the education system. Judging by the palpable enthusiasm of the students that attended, it's evident that her idea hasn't gone unnoticed.
Children aged eight to fourteen, coming from five different schools, made up the bulk of the audience, swarming the auditorium with unbounded glee, all eagerly awaiting the mystery behind the screen. And the production didn't disappoint, delivering what it promised: a sci-fi novelty with a Chennai twist.

Lake Moogerah is a large lake surrrounded by Mountains of Moogerah Peaks National Park.
People come from far and wide to enjoy the many watersports, and the pristine area.
The caravan park and camping ground is situated right on the shores of beautiful Lake Moogerah. We have stayed in our own Caravan and camped in a tent.
The Camping area without power, is a large mown grass area, some with trees for shade.
The powered sites are near the amenities block, and you can put a tent here too!
Open fires are allowed, and at times like Easter, the campgroud is nearly full.
A new addition is the 1 bedroom self-contained cabin. This cabin is large and roomy and will sleep up to 6 people. In the cabin is a Queen bed in the bedroom, Single bunk beds, Sofa bed in the large living area, fully equipped kitchen with everything you need including a full size fridge and a fully paved outdoor area with your own gas barbecue and even your own private campfire.
Linen hire is available on request.
I can tell you, it is lovely early morning and in the evening. The day-trippers have either gone home or haven't arrived yet in the morning.
Morning, and the the aroma of bacon and eggs being cooked wafts through the air. Mmmm, can't wait for it to cook, so I can sit and eat at the picnic table overlooking the calm lake with the many birds still roosting on the dead trees in the lake.
Even at the campground, the natives [birds] are extra friendly!
This is our little piece of paradise to escape to!
