Have you ever convinced a religious conservative that the idea that non-Christians being tortured for all eternity is a messed up and creepy idea? That it's wrong -- that a God of love just couldn't do that and be a God of love?

In which case it's completely fine to, for instance, discriminate on a basis of religion, since you can in theory choose your religion. And if the less-favoured religions just happens to be dominated by people with the wrong skin colour, then you can't prove that that's not a sheer accident.

This is not conjecture. This is what racists ALREADY DO, in response to the fact that it's already considered to be Not Cool to be a racist. You know this.

So what are you going to do about that? The only thing you can do, if you're dead set on a zero-tolerance policy - decide that you are not going to be fooled by such a transparent ruse, that anytime someone talks about, for instance, "inner-city crime" they are clearly using a racist dog-whistle and that they therefore just surrendered any right to be treated like a reasonable human being.

This also is not conjecture. This is what Internet liberals are already doing.

Short version? Set up rigid definition for who doesn't deserve to be listened to, and social conservatives will immediately find ways around it. Set up a loose definition for who doesn't deserve to be listened to, and it will end up encompassing everyone who doesn't completely agree with you. This is why writing off large swaths of people, no matter how tempting it is, is not in fact a good idea.baeraadhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183017857525295474.post-59045365149222802042015-04-03T23:58:01.050-04:002015-04-03T23:58:01.050-04:00"They aren't bad people, or not worse tha..."They aren't bad people, or not worse than the rest, but they're scared."

They may well be scared. But in their fear they have chosen to attack what they fear, to deal with the world around them with hatred and anger rather than try and figure out how to live with this strange new world. They have chosen this path, they have not been forced upon it. They will settle for nothing less than that their standards are imposed on veryone else.

And that choice, in turn, forces everyone else into a choice; submit to them, or destroy them. Since they won't consider the alternative.

I would feel sorry for them, in their fear. Or condemn them for their stupidity and shortsightedness and anger. But I don't. They are like a disease; deadly and unthinking.

And like a disease, they simply need to be treated as such.FDChiefhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183017857525295474.post-73141156468738475882015-04-03T21:53:14.450-04:002015-04-03T21:53:14.450-04:00But slippery slope arguments have their limitation...But slippery slope arguments have their limitations.

True, but you seem to be skiing rather quickly.

I grew up in Indiana. I know a bunch of social conservatives. I've had complicated romantic relationships with social conservatives. They aren't bad people, or not worse than the rest, but they're scared. Their little island of control is gradually washing away, and sooner or later they're going to be in the water with the gay Mexican sharks, and they don't know how to deal with that. And religion is what they do when they don't know what to do.

I keep trying to point out to them that the Bible condemns usury far more clearly and often than homosexuality, and that they should be organizing against bankers, but they're not *that* stupid. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183017857525295474.post-12367887195072770842015-04-03T18:23:50.205-04:002015-04-03T18:23:50.205-04:00Thanks MH!Thanks MH!Paul Bibeauhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183017857525295474.post-70774744381778007042015-04-03T18:23:37.273-04:002015-04-03T18:23:37.273-04:00Boom.

If it ever became socially acceptable to hate - fully and truly and unapologetically HATE - people who are insufficiently liberal, then I am absolutely certain that I would end up being on the list of public enemies. Just as absolutely certain as I am that I'd end up on that list if the social conservatives ever managed to create a Republic of Gilead. It's just how my life works, you know? No one wants me on THEIR team. And in fact, I'm too ornery to be on anyone's team, anyway. I've tried any number of times, but sooner or later I always manage to piss everyone off by saying things like, "hey, isn't this part of our party line really kind of dumb, when you think about it?" and "shouldn't this part of our philosophy also apply to this other situation?"

So I'm afraid I can't agree with you here. Not because I have any particular love for social conservatives, but because I think that if people start looking for social conservatives to hate, it would take them all of five seconds to decide that anyone who wasn't 100% socially progressive was per definition a hateful social conservative. And I've never in my life been 100% anything.baeraadhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183017857525295474.post-42886412438792231172015-03-27T16:59:14.105-04:002015-03-27T16:59:14.105-04:00Great.

By MATTHEW STEVENS
Mississippi State junior point guard Dee Bost hasn't played enough games in the 2010-11 season to qualify to be a league leader in certain statistical categories but that doesn't mean the Southeastern Conference office isn't taking notice.
Bost was recognized Monday as the SEC's Player of the Week after averaging 17.0 points, 8.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds in a pair of wins over Ole Miss and Auburn.
After being suspended and academically ineligible for a total of the Bulldogs first 14 games of the season, Bost returned for the league opener against Alabama but made an impact on the road against Ole Miss last Thursday when he poured in a game-high 25 points and eight
"We allowed Dee Bost to turn the corner time and time and time again," Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy said.
The victory in Oxford was the Bulldogs (10-7, 2-1 in SEC play) third straight in Tad Smith Coliseum making Bost undefeated in that building in his MSU career.
Mississippi State head coach Rick Stansbury said on the SEC media teleconference the play of his point guard has been better since struggling to find his rhythm in the conference-opening loss to Alabama.
"His biggest role (this year) is he becomes our primary ball handler at all times," Stansbury said. "Last year we could initiate the offense with Barry Stewart. Right now it's not easy to do that because with Riley Benock and Ravern Johnson, that's not their games."
Similarly to when he made his exhibition return against NAIA Belhaven College before the Bulldogs' 15-day holiday trip, Bost may be allowed to slide over to the shooting guard position as junior-college transfer Brian Bryant develops during the 2010-11 season.
"The biggest thing for him that he's learned throughout the years (is) you don't have to search for your shot," Stansbury said. "There's times we wish we could slide him over to the two-guard and give him some freedom off that basketball to go score more."
The NCAA issued State's floor leader a nine-game suspension after he became academically eligible in the spring semester. The suspension by the NCAA Student-Athlete Reinstatement Staff is specifically for Bost
failing to properly withdraw by May 8 NBA draft deadline. The 6-foot-2 guard was coming off a sophomore season averaging 13 points, 5.2 assists per game and 4.4 rebounds per game.
Bost and the rest of his MSU squad will travel to Georgia (13-3, 2-1) Saturday for a 3 p.m. tip.
"Bost is terrific and so good in every area," Georgia head coach Mark Fox said during Monday's SEC coaches' teleconference.

transferring the carton along said orbital path from the selected one of said hoppers to the carton conveyor.
6. The method of
This invention relates to packaging of primary articles such as cans and bottles in multiple packaged cartons and is more particularly concerned with feeding such cartons in collapsed condition from a hopper and for initiating and then completing a set up operation of cartons in sequence.
The majority of known packaging machines are dedicated machines which construct only one size of one type of carton. Therefore, modern bottling plants are required to use a plurality of packaging machines to package different carton types, each machine taking up considerable floor space and being expensive to both purchase and operate.
A limited number of packaging machines are capable of packaging different sizes of cartons, for example six, eight or twelve packs of a wraparound carton. All such machines require adjustment when switching from one size or type of carton to another. This adjustment includes the manual removal of all of the cartons within the packaging machine and possible the mechanical adjustment of components in the machine. During this change over period, which can be thirty minutes or more, a machine cannot be used (known as "downtime"), which is an expensive delay in a bottling plant. Such a delay may even result in downtime for the entire bottling line, not just the packaging machine, if problems arise during the changeover period.
The present invention seeks to overcome the commercial disadvantages of known packaging machines by providing a feeder mechanism which is able to set up more than one type of carton. Further, the invention is capable of switching from one carton type to another, or between sizes with minimum downtime. The modular nature of the present invention enables a "fully flexible" machine to be constructed which overcomes, or at least mitigates, the problems of known machines.
The present invention can be used with a packaging machine described in PCT Published Application WO99/14120. It is envisaged that the present invention can be used with various other types of packaging machine. Alternatively, the erecting mechanism of the preset invention can be sold as an individual module to be fitted to new equipment on a retro fit basis.
One aspect of the invention provides an apparatus for storing two different types of carton, and for selecting and transferring cartons to be packaged which apparatus comprises a first hopper for storing a first carton type, a second hopper for storing a second carton type, carton engaging means and transfer means to transfer the carton from its respective first or second hopper from the infeed end of a packaging machine characterized in that said carton engaging and transfer means is rotatable about a fixed axis in an orbital path and in that the carton engaging means incorporates means to provide a first position for engaging cartons from the first hopper and a second position for engaging cartons from the second hopper the first and second pick up positions are located at different points on said orbital path.
According to an optional feature of this aspect of fee invention, the apparatus may further comprise means to place one of said hoppers in an operative position and control means to select the position of carton engagement means corresponding to the operative hopper selected.
According to another optional feature of his aspect of the invention, means to place one of said hoppers in an operative position may comprise a frame mounted to a second fixed axis and wherein said first and second hoppers are mounted to the frame each hopper being oppositely disposed about the second fixed axis.
According to a further optional feature of this aspect of the invention, said operative hopper may be adjacent the orbital path of said carton pick up and transfer means.
According to a still further optional feature of is aspect of the invention the control means may control the hoppers to place them in operative and inoperative positions.
A second aspect of the invention provides a method of selecting cartons held in first or second hoppers and transferring said cartons to the infeed end of a packaging machine which method comprises the steps of selecting one of said hoppers to be operative, placing said hopper in an operative position, positioning a carton engaging means to engage a carton stored in the operative hopper and transferring the engaged carton to said infeed end.
A third aspect of the invention provides an apparatus for storing two different types of carton, comprising a first hopper and a second hopper oppositely disposed about a fixed axis and rotatable between a first position whereby one of said first and second hoppers is in an operative position and a second position whereby the other of said first and second hoppers is in an operative position.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which.
FIG. 1a is a side view of a basket type carton supplied in a flat collapsed condition suitable for use with the machine according to the invention;
FIG. 1b is a perspective view of a basket type carton suitable for use with the machine according to the invention;
FIG. 2a is a perspective view of a fully enclosed carton blank suitable for use with the machine according to the invention;
FIG. 2b is a perspective view of an erected and loaded carton of the type illustrated in FIG. 2a;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the infeed of a packaging machine illustrating the hopper unit and feed mechanism of a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view from the opposing side of the packaging machine illustrated in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the invention illustrating the hopper unit in a first position;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the invention illustrating the hopper unit in a second position;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the feeder assembly shown in FIG. 3 and
FIG. 8 is an exploded view of the feeder assembly of FIG. 7.
A mechanism according to the present invention is capable of storing and feeding a variety of carton types, for example wraparound, fully enclosed and basket type cartons. Any reference in this specification to carton type includes different sizes of any particular carton style, for example fully enclosed cartons for eight or twelve articles.
Referring to the drawings, and in particular FIG. 1a and 1 b thereof, carton 10 is a basket type carrier shown in FIG. 1b in a set up condition ready for lowering onto articles. The carton 10 includes opposed side wall panels 12, 14 and opposed end wall panels 16, 18 hingeably connected one to the next. The carton further includes a handle structure 20 which inter-connects end wall panels 16, 18 and comprises transverse partition panels 22 inter-connecting each side wall 12, 14. Base panels 24, 26 are hingeably connected to each side wall panel 12, 14 respectively.
Referring now to FIG. 2a and b of the drawings carton 30 is a fully enclosed carton, shown in FIG. 2a in its flat collapsed form. The carton blank includes opposed side wall panels 32,34 and opposed end wall panels 36, 38 hingeably connected one to next. The carton further comprises top panels 40, 42 and base panels 44, 46 hingeably connected to respective side walls 32, 34. Articles A are inserted into the carton from above or, as the case may be, from below and the top and base panels are then secured together to provide a fully enclosed carton.
It is envisaged that the cartons will vary depending upon the shape and or quantity of articles to be packaged and accordingly, a machine in accordance with the present invention is adjustable in numerous respects so that it can process a wide variety of such cartons. The principal arrangements which are likely to be varied are shown in FIG. 1a and 2 a in which "H" is the overall height of the set up carton equivalent to the distance between the upper edge of the side wall and base panel, "L" is the overall length of the carton when the base panels have closed.
Referring to FIGS. 3 to 4 of the drawings there is shown a machine 50 for processing cartons of the type outlined above. The upstream end of the machine includes a dual hopper 52 in which a multiplicity of basket type and fully enclosed cartons 10, 30 in a collapsed condition are held ready for processing. A back feeder of the type referred to in PCT Published Application WO99/14127 and a rotary vacuum feeder 55 are positioned adjacent the dual hopper 52. A paper feed chain 56 is provided to transfer cartons downstream to the loading station 57.
The hopper unit 52 comprises two or more separate hoppers 58, 60 in adjacent positions described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. Each hopper 58, 60 is mounted onto a frame 62, as shown in FIG. 3. The frame 62 is mounted onto a main shaft 64 which can be rotated about axis X—X shown in FIG. 5. Each hopper 58, 60 is a gravity feed type whereby the carton blanks are held in their respective hoppers at an incline to provide a positive feed. It is envisaged that the hopper unit can comprise more hoppers adapted to receive different carton types or sizes which are preferably located surrounding the rotary feeder hereinafter described.
In order for the blank to be transferred from the inclined position to a vertical plane, it is necessary to offset the axis of rotation of the rotary feeder 55 from the vertical plane, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
In this embodiment, a pneumatic cylinder (not shown) is used to rotate the frame 62 between two positions: the first position, as shown in FIG. 5, with the first hopper 58 placed in an operative position ready for fully enclosed cartons 30 held in the first hopper 58 to be fed into the packaging machine. FIG. 6 illustrates the frame 62 in a second position with the second hopper 60, containing the basket type cartons 10 in an operative position.
Each hopper 58, 60 includes spaced support members 61, 63 respectively, to hold the cartons in a flat collapsed condition. The support members 61, 63 are fully adjustable to support different sizes and types of carton.
The position of the hopper is controlled by a control system described in PCT Published Application WO99/14120.
The construction of the rotary feeder 55 is illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8. The feeder mechanism 55 according to this invention includes a main shaft 70 rotatable about a fixed axis. The shaft 70 is generally supported at its end by a suitable bearing structure 71, 73 but which is conventional and which is mounted to a side frame 72. Suitable driving mechanism, such as a servo motor 74 is provided to rotate shaft.
For withdrawing the lower most collapsed carton from the hopper unit, a pick up device 68 is provided including carton engaging means, for example suction cups 80 which are supported on cup holders and a frame 82 and 84 respectively. The cup holder frames 84 are preferably fixedly mounted respectively on an elongate support rod 86 which is slidably mounted respectively on a collar structure 88. The collar structure 88 is preferably rigidly secured to main rotatable shaft 70. The frames 84 are mounted onto cam rods 76 extending into the side frame 72 housing a cam track 78 hereinafter described. As illustrated from FIG. 7, in this embodiment there are three sets of carton pick up devices 67, 68, 69 provided in association with the main rotatable shaft 70. Only one set of such devices such as those indicated at 68 are described in detail because all three sets of pick up devices are of the same construction operating in an identical fashion.
FIG. 8 serves to illustrate an exploded view of the internal components of the side frame 72 the rotary vacuum feeder. In this embodiment a fixed cam plate 77 is mounted on the inner surface of side frame 72 and is provided with an aperture 79 through which the drive shaft 70 extends. A cam track 78 is formed in the fixed cam plate 77 with cam followers (not shown) disposed within the cam track 78. The purpose of the cam track 78 is to facilitate the cam rods 76 to be extended away from the main shaft 70 so that the suction cups come into contact with the carton thereby to remove one of the cartons from the operative hopper 58 and to rotate the carton in a uniform path to the paper feed chain 56. As the carton is rotated from its hopper 58, a back feeder 54 is used to separate opposing side panels and to assist in the erection of the carton.
A vacuum break 90 is provided in the feeder mechanism 55 which is used in conjunction with a vacuum supply to set the vacuum connection and cut off points, described below.
In use, the hopper unit is positioned so that one of the hoppers is in an operative position for example, the first hopper 58. Thereafter, the cartons are continuously and sequentially fed from the hopper 52 to the paper feed chain 56 by the main shaft 70 rotating the pick up device 68 in the direction indicated by the arrow, shown in FIG. 5. As the pick up devices 67, 68, 69 rotate, the suction cups 82 are extended to be moved into contact with a side wall 32 of the carton 30 by the path of the cam track. A vacuum is then applied to the set of suction cups 80. Thus, the carton 30 is withdrawn and then transferred to the paper feed chain 56. The vacuum is maintained during this transfer stage so that the suction cups 80 hold the carton wall 30. When the carton is deposited at the paper feed chain 56, a vacuum break 90 disconnects the vacuum supply from the suction cups to release the carton.
If it is desired to package a different carton type, for example a basket type carton 10 held in the second hopper, a number of adjustments are made to the machine. The second hopper 60 is rotated by the pneumatic cylinder about shaft 64 and placed in an operative position and corresponding hopper 58 is moved to a non-operative position. As the position of the second hopper 60 relative to the rotary feeder 55 is different to the first hopper 58, it is necessary to move the pick up (or carton engaging) point 91 of the suction cups shown in FIG. 8 and to alter the "on" and "off" positions of the vacuum supply. These changes are carried out by moving the cam track 78 and/or the vacuum breaks 90 controlling the supply of a vacuum to a second position. Suitable drive means, for example a servo motor 92 controlled by the control system moves these sub-assemblies between the two positions. It is preferred to include a third position for the vacuum supply: this position being the "default setting" whereby the vacuum supply is disconnected throughout the rotation of the suction cups 80. The default position is adopted during carton changeover or if there is a fault in the machine.
According to this invention the speed of operation of the apparatus is improved as well as its efficiency and durability as the carton is moved from a collapsed position to a fully set up condition. Of course, the final set up operation is due in part to engagement with a back feeder and a corner of the carton with the lugs which then affects complete and final set up of a carton whilst being held by the suction cup.
While the preferred embodiment described herein is for loading bottles into cartons, it will be recognised that the invention is not limited to cartons for bottles. The invention may be used with machines for packaging cans, paperboard "bricks" and other containers into cartons.
Moreover, while the preferred embodiment described herein is shown as part of a machine for loading containers into vertically-loaded sleeve-type carton, the invention is not limited to cartons of this type. As will be recognised by those skilled in the art, the invention may be used with wrap-around or end-loaded cartons.
It will be understood that the hopper and feeder mechanism of the invention has been illustrated with reference to a specific embodiment and that numerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. The hopper and feeder mechanism is able to process cartons comprising numerous configurations of groups of articles covering a range of carton size and shape, for example, four, six, eight and twelve bottles without undue time being spent in adjusting the mechanism.

High quality garden statues make a fine statement in any backyard but garden decor can have a bigger impact when put on display in the right places. Fountains in particular, stand out for their unique, dynamic appearance, and lend a touch of class wherever they are put on display. That said, these are three of the best places for showcasing a beautiful garden fountain:
- Shortly after the entrance to the garden: Although a fountain can be used to greet garden guests, you might want to present them with a smaller statue or greeter decor like the Greetings from the Garden Gnomes Welcome Statue before such stunning garden decor as the Cherubs at Play Sculptural Fountain comes into view.
- In a quiet corner of the backyard: If the garden is used as a place for meditation, decor like the Cathedral Rocks Cascading Fountain can help. Put this natural-themed fountain in a part of the garden that could use the sound of falling water.
- The entranceway to a restaurant or hotel: When clients or guests walk into a place of business, we want to give them the best possible impression. Exquisite decor like the L'Acqua di Vita Sculptural Fountain shows that they have entered a place that wants to treat them like royalty.
Enjoy 20% off any of the fountains in our collection until May 19th.

|Brandon Saad, 2011 second-round draft pick, led the Saginaw Spirit with 12 points (6G, 6A) in six first-round appearances.
One round is in the books, and two Blackhawks representatives are left in the hunt for hardware: Mac Carruth in the Western Hockey League and Brandon Saad in the Ontario Hockey League.
Saginaw passed a stern first-round test against Sarnia, besting the Sting in a six-game series. The Spirit will face the London Knights in the second round of the OHL playoffs, hosting Game 2 on April 8. The Knights—who count Dave Bolland and Patrick Kane among their alumni—finished the regular season with the OHL's best record (49-18-0-1) and swept their series against Windsor in the first round.
- Brandon Saad: The Spirit captain led by example, pacing the team with six goals, six helpers and a +7 plus/minus rating in six games. Saad dropped four points (2G, 2A) in Saginaw's 5-2 victory over Sarnia in Game 5, including the game-winning goal and an empty-netter to seal the victory.
- Ludvig Rensfeldt: Sarnia's Swedish winger was held to just one assist in the final two games, but finished with five points (2G, 3A) in six appearances.

|Brent Seabrook scored the overtime winner against NJD on March 27, 2009.
Twenty years ago yesterday, Martin Brodeur made his NHL debut for the New Jersey Devils. Tonight, the Blackhawks face off against the winningest NHL goaltender of all time in Newark. Before the puck drops, take a look back at the recent success and missteps the Blackhawks have had against the Devils.Nov. 3, 2010: NJD 5, CHI 3
In their only meeting of the season, Bradley Mills scored his first NHL goal with 3:51 left in the third period to snap a tie for the Devils. Chicago rallied to tie the game but would ultimately drop a 5-3 decision. Brodeur left the game in the second period with a bruised elbow.Click here to read the full post >>
|As Sarnia and Saginaw continue to battle in the first round of the OHL playoffs, Ludwig Rensfeldt has two goals in three games for the Sting, while Brandon Saad scored three goals and added two assists for the Spirit.
As the first round of the Canadian Hockey League playoffs kicked into action last weekend, the outlook for seven Blackhawks prospects started coming into focus.
Ontario Hockey League

"We have long been concerned that game systems are increasingly connected to the Web and could be used to attack children," said Rob Enderle, a well-known technology analyst, in an e-mail to ABC News. "Many are chat-enabled and controls over what is said may be inadequate.
"This does highlight that parents need to monitor what their children do on these systems as they should any personal computer, because, increasingly they (and phones) are becoming personal computers," Enderle wrote.
Devlin, the Texas prosecutor, said Sony helped his task force understand the workings of the PlayStation system. (Sony, contacted by ABC News, did not comment for this story.) All the major manufacturers include parental controls in their consoles -- though parents, sometimes kept at arm's length by rebellious teenagers, may have to be assertive about protecting their kids.
Microsoft, whose Xbox 360 competes with the PS3, has an Internet Safety Enforcement Team and says it trains police at conferences on how to work with the system.
"Can you think of an easier setting than playing games online?" said Allen. "These are games. These are children's games."

I had the same issue.
I was rear-ended in November.
Just after receiving my car back from the shop...my radiator started to leak.
Had them check it out only to find that it had corrosion to the point that there was a hole in it.
A sizable one at that.
Just after buying it the front rotors went bad.
Now, my transmission is shifting a bit hard.
So far the dealership has told me it's my driving style....right.

W Indies vs Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka win by 57 runs
A fantastic performance by Kumar Sangakkara's men who have romped home in the second of two utterly one-sided matches here in Barbados. Jayawardene contined his fabulous start to the tournament with an unbeaten 98, and when Gayle and Chanderpaul fell early, West Indies were never in the chase. Thanks for your company, keep it here for reports and reaction.
Over 20 Kulasekara 1-4-0-1-4-2
138-8 - Final over! Taylor clubs a single before big Benn gives the crowd something to cheer with a classy cut through point for four. Taylor, who has a Test hundred to his name, then produces one of the shots of the day as he steers the ball past short third-man for four. Drop! And the match finishes with a drop as Mathews drops a skier in the deep - matter it does not though!
Over 19 Malinga 1-W-1-2-0-1
126-8 Wicket!Exhibition stuff here from Malinga. A dipping slower ball full toss has Sammy wincing and the ball wraps him on the pads bang in front. Unplayable! Mr Benn is in now and he gets off the mark first ball. Taylor then claims another couple down the ground - we are going through the motions somewhat here. Malinga finishes with fine figures of 4-0-24-3.
Over 18 Mendis 0-0-0-W-4-1
121-7 - Wicket! Mendis has given old Hinds a right working over here before putting him out of his misery! After three attempts at playing, but missing, Mendis traps him in front for five. Taylor comes in and cuts hard through point for a classy boundary first ball (where has he been hiding?). A single ends the action.
Over 17 Malinga 1-4-W-0wd-0-4-1
116-6 - Malinga gets an attempted yorker horribly wrong and Fletcher smacks the full toss away through midwicket for four. Wicket! Revenge for the slinger! Fletcher departs for 16 off 18 balls as this time the yorker is spot on and the stumps are dislodged. Hinds is in, and asks what the fuss is all about as he crashes Malinga over extra cover for a one-bounce four and then a single.
Over 16 Mendis 4-W-1-0-1-4
105-5 - Wicket! After slicing Mendis through the slips for four, Pollard departs. Looking for the big blow straight down the ground, he could only pick out Kapugedera who caught with ease at long-on. What is all the hype surrounding this guy? Fletcher squeezes another four off the final ball of the over.
Over 15 Malinga 1-1-1-0-1-0wd-1
95-4 - As the above reads really... Sri Lanka look a real force to be reckoned with on this showing. Their bowling trio of Malinga, Murali and Mendis are so hard to get away. RR 20.20...
Over 14 Murali 1-1-1lb-0wd-2-0-0
89-4 - RR is around 16 an over and if this was a boxing match it would have been stopped long ago. Very little to report - thank goodness for the over-exuberant musician in the crowd who is providing the bulk of the entertainment.
Over 13 Mendis W-0-0-1-0-0
83-4 - Wicket! Its gone from awful to shambolic for West Indies as Sarwan limps off having made 28 off 33 balls. It was a 'i'd better give my younger brother a turn at batting in the back garden' dismissal as he chipped the ball straight back to Mendis as if it was pre-rehearsed. Pollard is in and away off the second ball after being bamboozled by a googly first up. What an over - just one off it!
Over 12 Murali 1-0-0wd-0-1-1
82-3 - More calamity out in the middle and a direct-hit from Sangakkara would have sent Fletcher packing first ball. There is no urgency here at all and the Kensington Oval is silent. Yawn.
Over 11 Malinga 2-0-1-0wd-W-1-1
78-3 - The slinger is on and Sarwan drives crisply through the covers for two first ball. A single brings Bravo on strike. Wicket! Another one bites the dust! This time it's Bravo who toe-ends a drive straight to Mathews at extra cover to depart for a run-a-ball 23. Fletcher is away first ball but this is pretty painful stuff to be honest. The Windies need a miracle!
Over 10 Murali 4-1-1-1-1-0
72-2 Bravo shows better intent at the start of the 10th over when he charges at Murali and slaps him straight back to the mid-off fence. Four singles follow, a decent over, but the rate continues to rise. We are halfway there.
Over 9 Perera 1-0-0-1-0-4
64-2 - The run-rate is getting out of order but another boundary, this time from Sarwan backward of square, relieves the pressure a little. Required rate is 12 an over though...
Over 8 Murali 0wd-1-2-1-1-0-4
58-2 - Murali is on at the Malcolm Marshall end after shrugging off his groin injury in some style. Sarwan and Bravo milk him for singles before the latter finishes the over with a flourish by launching him over midwicket for a one-bounce four - cracking shot! 10 off the over.
Over 7 Perera 0-1-0-1-4-1
48-2 - Medium-pacer Perera is introduced as Sangakkara tries to squeeze in an over from one of his 'lesser' bowlers. The tactic looks to have worked after the first four balls yield just two runs, however Sarwan ups the ante at the end of the over with a crunching four over extra cover and a single through square-leg.
Over 6 Mendis 1-1-0wd-1-4-0
41-2 - Mendis will bowl the last of the powerplay overs... Sarwan sweeps the first ball for a single before Bravo gets the fans on their feet with an extravagant back-foot punch over extra-cover for four. That's more like it!!
Over 5 Kulasekara 1-1-0wd-1-0-1-0
33-2 - Another superb over from Kulasekara. West Indies need boundaries but they are struggling to hit the ball off the square at present!
Over 4 Mathews 0-0-1-1lb-1-1
28-2 - The Windies are shellshocked here and Bravo and Sarwan have a major task on their hands. There were only fours runs off a tight Mathews over as the required rate moves towards 11 an over...
Over 3 Kulasekara 1-W-0-0-0-1
24-2 - Sarwan is the new man in and he is immediately off the mark with a powerful cut which Dilshan gets a hand on at backward point. Sangakkara is stood up to the stumps now... Wicket! Massive blow for Windies as Gayle departs! Attempting to work the ball to leg he only succeeded in getting a leading edge, and Mathews gobbled it up at mid-off. The ground is in stunned silence. Only two runs off a fantastic over by Kulasekara.
Over 2 Mathews 0-6-0-4lb-4-W
22-1 - After fizzing a drive straight to mid-off, Chanderpaul makes no mistake next ball when he gets down on one knee and flicks Mathews over fine-leg for six of the best! He tries the same shot two balls later and it flicks his pad and flies past Sangakkara for four more. Shiv continues with his attacking intent next ball and slaps a third boundary through the covers as the fielders stood and watched. Wicket! But it's a case of one shot too many for Chanderpaul as he loops the ball up tamely to Kapugedera at backward point off the final ball. Sri Lanka strike!

Customer Reviews
Too limited and restrictive
It is good for keeping a track of what you eat, activities and weight. However it is poorly designed and limited in scope. Many foods in the weight watchers printed publications have different pro points to what is in the app. If you select skim milk be careful because there are two entries that come up. One of the two will crash the app and the only way to fix it is a full reboot of the iPad. It does not include a barcode scanner which many other healthy eating apps have. It's better than nothing but reflects badly on weight Watchers
This is great for tracking points and using the calculator. But it is also so restrictive and frustrating. You can't build recipes and access the recipe list, you also can't make changes to your profile - very frustrating considering when you then try to log on via a web page on a phone or ipad it won't allow you to log in - it only takes you to the shop!!! WW website appears to only work via a computer.
Pretty good
I've been using this app and mostly think it is a great tool for tracking food. A couple of small problems though, when you have to calculate pro points sometimes you need to go out of app and come back in for it to finalise. There is something not quite right with the recipes too, I seem to have to open it a few times to work.

Why Bill Gates is wrong about the iPad
Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates believes his company's tablet can beat the iPad, because "iPad users are frustrated," according to the Silicon Valley Business Journal.
In a CNBC interview on Monday, Gates stuck his foot firmly in his mouth on the iPad, saying he thinks iPad users want a physical keyboard and the ability to create documents. That is, they want the Microsoft Surface.

A lot of people consider this figure their "HOLY GRAIL". Well, I no longer do. It's gone up in value... 1/6th scale of a clump of plastic... I'd have to quit this hobby for good because my sanity (insanity) has gotten the better of me.
I think quitting this hobby for you may be for the best if that's how you're going to be.
A Holy Grail should be a figure that means a lot, not one that costs a lot or isn't worth much. The price should be the last factor of a Holy Grail IMO. Owning an expensive figure like this just adds to the pride of the owner which, I don't blame them. She's utterly gorgeous.

Is there any shop or User that might be selling her used? I don't mind if it doesn't even have the box anymore, as long as it's below $400, ideally between 200-350 but most likely too much to ask. I probably wouldn't have the money yet, but I am considering perhaps starting to save up for her because she is undeniably bad ass figure. The thing that I love the most about this particular Morrigan is her iconic stance, also my favorite is her hair and the way it's being held up and the colorization is the best part! The third reason is I recentl you found in my closet this super old gashapon of Morrigan I got one time visiting Japan, and it would be so cool to have such a big update

I hate when figures become so expensive after they have been released it makes me sick. $400 for a figure that came out at an original price of around a $100 is kinda ridiculous! And she isn't even exclusive!

Time for some fine repairs! You have a drill, a steel rod and fresh super glue?
Yeah, I guess I'll have to use a metal rod - the problem is the base is so naturally flimsy and thin. I'll see what I can do with it tomorrow.

GOAL GIANTSCameron handballs it out at ground level to Treloar who kicks a late consolation goal. That ends the Crows' run of 13 consecutive goals.
BEHIND CROWSVan Berlo tries to squeeze one through from the pocket, but just misses.
GOAL CROWSIt must be J.J. time! Josh Jenkins takes an absolute hanger before turning around and jogging to the goal square and kicking his fourth goal.
