Anyone who follows me on Twitter, or just knows me in general, will see a correlation between the weekend and me posting quips about whatever game I'm currently playing. I've never had a problem letting others know how much fun I have gaming. This has been my mentality since I first delved into the realm of the tabletop game. Free play time in Physical Education Class in high school would be spent mapping out battles strategies for an upcoming Advanced Dungeons and Dragons game. I was sitting with my sketchbook jotting down concepts when a jock approached and ask what I was doing. My friend, sitting next to me at the time, bitterly responded with "Something that's too complex for you to understand." And though in all fairness to anyone who has survived the ridicule of bullies, myself included, this might feel like the appropriate response. The chance to demean the narrow minded can make you feel good for a moment, but in the end only enlarges the chasm between nerds and jocks. Thus, during such confrontation I took the opportunity to share my work, and invite them to give an opinion or join in the game I was working on. My approach never brought any new players to my gaming table, but it may have opened the door for a future game group the jock could have joined.
One of our biggest flaws as a gaming community is our hermit nature towards society. We feel obligated to keep our hobbies in home and secret from those "that wouldn't understand," or openly mock those who haven't figured it out. Only amongst other geeks do we feel free to openly speak of our excitement for a new card game expansions, give one another heads ups on new games, discuss changes in a comic's current retcon, or mention anything Joss Whedon. It has become so ingrained into our minds that the real world shuns us so much we must remain exiled to our local comic and hobby shops never realizing the truth.
Perhaps it's the internet, perhaps it's the current box office blockbusters, but there are a whole lot more people out there that like what we like than anyone has ever realized. Are we naïve enough to think that box office numbers for comic book based movies are only from the people who've read the comics seeing them? Open your eyes my fellow geeks, nerds, dorks, gamers, otaku, grognards, bronies, whovians, trekies, furries, wizards, jedi, etc, there are more people out there that want to know more, but don't know where to start, or need a friend to guide them.
Let's open the door for them so that they may see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Skirmish in Public Day, started out as just for tabletop wargamers to play for others to see, but now I invite all gamers of all game genres to join in and demonstrate what we've been doing all these years behind shut doors (Eww…Not that! Dirty minded reader, I swear…). This is your opportunity to show your passion for games. We've already seen many celebrities come out about being gamers. Even a new successful web series called TableTop hosted by the dork lord himself, Wil Wheaton, showcases the emotional spectrum garnered from gaming from the crushing defeat to the glorious victory and every hurdle in between.
We are going to show the true social nature of tabletop gaming on August 8th, Skirmish in Public Day, Grognards, Wargamers, LARPers, Trading Card Gamers, and Role-Players alike are encouraged to play a skirmish in a public.
This is much like the great Read an RPG Book in Public Week, but it will be a day that gamers bring games to restaurants, malls, libraries, parks, etc. and show off the fun and strategy involved in the tabletop hobby.
For veteran gamers, I add the challenge to try a new game you've never played before for this day. I'll do my best to present you guys with great games to try out, but I am only one man and there are many games to choose from. Let me know in the comments below if there's a game you think would work great for Skirmish in Public Day and I'll do my best to showcase it for everyone here.
To track as well as to invite others to join, I've made an Event page on Facebook. Spread the word and when the day comes around I want to see pictures and hear stories of your Skirmish in Public Day.
Tabletop gaming was never meant to be a solo activity, it is an adventure in social interaction and your quest is to find some more opponents!
Are you game?

The need to meet the 2002/2004 diesel engine emissions restrictions led to significant engineering changes for every commercial diesel engine offered in the U.S. trucking market. Along with the technical changes, engine makers also took the '02/'04 changeover as an opportunity to simplify designations, eliminate overlap in product coverage and generally clean up years of accumulated model additions and modifications. The result was a full-scale rationalization and reorganization of available model lineups that made even year-old technical literature and specs lists obsolete.
To help you reorient yourself in this new engine landscape, FLEET OWNER has put together a guide to every major diesel engine model now offered for sale in on-road U.S. commercial trucks. Arranged by manufacturer, it offers concise information on engine configuration, displacement, horsepower and torque ranges, and intended applications. Web addresses for additional technical information are also included.
Configuration: Inline 6

Caterpillar markets its C7 engine line to vocational truck applications, from construction and utility to pickup and delivery, RV and emergency vehicles.
The C7 has the company's HEUI fuel system and a full set of electronic controls with features typically found only on heavy-duty engines. In addition, both front and rear PTO options can be customized to fit a variety of needs.
The entire line uses Caterpillar's Advanced Combustion Emission Reduction technology (ACERT) package to meet current emission rules.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 537 cu. in./8.8L
Horsepower: 275-400
Peak torque: 1050-1150 lb.-ft.
Caterpillar says the C9 line is designed for vocational applications and regional linehaul fleets that require a responsive, lightweight engine with electronic controls.
The C9 has front and rear PTO capability and offers the combination of mid-supported wet-liners, heavy-duty crankshaft and HEUI fuel system to provide a lightweight yet rugged powerplant for a variety of truck operating needs.
Engines feature ACERT system for emissions compliance.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 677 cu. in./11.1L
Horsepower: 305-350
Peak torque: 1050-1350 lb.-ft.
The C11 family, which replaces the C10, is designed to meet OTR day cab and vocational tractor and truck needs. According to Caterpillar, the C11-like its bigger brother, the C13 — features a cross-flow head design complete with series turbochargers and variable value actuation. An optional Cat compression brake and rear-mounted PTO can be customized to fit specific applications.
Engines feature ACERT system for emissions compliance.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 763 cu. in./12.5L
Horsepower: 350-430
Peak torque: 1450-1650 lb.-ft.
Weighing in at just 2,270 lb., the C13 is designed for fleets requiring performance and dependability in a lightweight package. The C13 family, which replaces the C12 line, has moved from a uni-flow cylinder head design to a cross-flow setup, giving it improved breathing ability and better responsiveness, says caterpillar. Like the heavier C15 line, the C13 family also features a higher compression ratio, higher cylinder pressure, and series turbocharger for improved power, performance and fuel economy.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 928 cu. in./15.2L
Horsepower: 435-625 hp
Peak torque: 1550-2050 lb.-ft.
Caterpillar points out that the C15 can be spec'd with 600-625 hp. as part of its "King of the Hill" package, designed to appeal to owner-operators and heavy hauler fleets. The engine is equipped with series turbochargers, a higher compression ratio, and higher cylinder pressure to produce improved performance, better throttle response and increased fuel economy.
Like all of the company's heavy-duty engines equipped with ACERT technology, Caterpillar says the C15 hass steel single-piece low friction pistons, four-bolt connecting rods and a high-efficiency water pump for improved durability and reliability.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 15L
Horsepower: 385-565
Peak torque: 1450-1850 lb.-ft.
The ISX group of engines, equipped with cooled EGR to meet current and future emission rules, also uses a unique dual overhead cam design to further reduce pollution while improving performance and engine braking ability. Designed into the base engine platform, the Intebrake takes up less space and weighs less than add-on units.
The ISX adds up to 200 lb.-ft. of extra torque in the top two gears via the SmartTorque system, which helps maintain road speed, reduce downshifts, and provides up to 3% improvement in fuel economy.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 10.8L
Horsepower: 280-425
Peak torque: 1150-1550 lb.-ft.
The most important feature of the ISM line is its Holset Variable Geometry Turbocharger, which produces quicker throttle response with less turbo "lag," according to Cummins. For drivers, this means more acceleration power, which can be critical on highway on-ramps, for example. The Holset's infinite adjustment capability provides the exact amount of boost needed at any engine speed, and its patented sliding nozzle design eliminates dozens of moving parts for better reliability and durability.
The Cummins C Brake, developed by Jacobs, is an option on the ISM; it works with the Variable Geometry Turbocharger to deliver an additional 40 braking hp.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 8.9L
Horsepower: 310-350
Peak torque: 1050-1250 lb.-ft.
Cummins considers its ISL family to be the ideal "all around" engine for a wide variety of trucking operations, from regional LTL to vocational.
A new High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system combined with the Holset Variable Geometry Turbocharger enables the ISL to produce torque equal to larger displacement models, providing exceptional power-to-weight characteristics, according to Cummins. In other words, the 8.9L ISL can carry more payload, with performance equal to that of 10L and 11L diesel engines.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 8.3L
Horsepower: 240-315
Peak torque: 1660-950 lb.-ft.
The ISC line is also equipped with the HPCR fuel system; with less than one-fourth the number of parts as the previous fuel pump, it is much easier to maintain.
Standard on the ISC is a combination full-flow/bypass oil filter, which increases piston ring and bearing life. Pilot fuel injection and a revised front gear design combine to make the ISC up to 35% quieter than previous models.
According to Cummins, the ISC's integrated electronics improve operating efficiencies of the transmission and the front and rear PTOs.
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 5.9L
Horsepower: 185-275
Peak torque: 420-660 lb.-ft.
The ISB family is based on the B-Series but features the Interact System-a new design platform that combines improved electronic engine controls with high-pressure fuel injection and high-strength components for a more reliable and durable product
The ISB offers more horsepower and torque, with better response off the line. It's made to run longer on less fuel (up to 15% longer than the B Series), and with extended maintenance intervals (oil and filter changes every 15,000-mi.)
Configuration: Inline 6
Displacement: 5.9, 8.3L
Horsepower: 195-320
Peak torque: 420-1000 lb.-ft.
These alternative-fuel engines are the product of a 50/50 partnership between Cummins and Westport Innovations. Marketed under the brand name Cummins Westport, they meld a lean-burn, spark-ignited engine platform with Westport's patented high-pressure direct injection (HPDI) fuel system and other proprietary natural gas technologies to offer alternative-fueled engines that perform like diesels.
The natural gas and propane engines use a catalytic converter to comply with '04 emission rules.

Displacement: 12.7L/14L
Horsepower range: 380-455/ 455-515
Peak torque range: 1350-1550 lb.-ft./ 1450-1650 lb.-ft.
Featuring the fifth generation of Detroit Diesel Electronic Controls (DDEC V), both Series 60 engines are intended for heavy-duty on-highway applications that value light weight, fuel efficiency and performance. In recent years, the inline-6 has also moved into construction and other off-highway applications,
Like all heavy-duty diesels, the Series 60 underwent a major redesign to meet new emissions requirements in late 2002, adopting cooled EGR and a variable geometry turbocharger. Other related changes included a switch to a monotherm, or one-piece piston design, revised geartrain components for the overhead cam, and new injectors.
The two Series 60 diesels offer a total of 27 different power ratings, including dual power rating models. With a peak torque of up to 1650 lb.-ft., torque curves are relatively flat, providing low rpm grunt with little fall-off as engine speed increases. The DDEC system also allows Series 60 engines to be easily reprogrammed to different power ratings to accommodate changing operational conditions or to increase resale value. In addition, the electronics provide cruise control, idle shutdown, advanced engine protection and other advanced features as standard.

I know I keep saying this, but man is it ever a slow news day!
It seems like each day there is less and less to talk about. I guess that's why there are foolish rumours flying all over the place. In times of slow news the rumours mongers seem to come out in droves, monging their rumours as they do.
I don't know about you, but I'm enjoying the spectacular weather we've been having (in Montreal) and the summer in general.
What about you? What have you been doing to fight off the dog days?

Bethlehem, Pa., April 10, 2008—Moravian College will host a Rally for a Hate-Free America on Thursday, April 17 in the Pavilion of the Haupert Union Building. Throughout the rally, there will be music, poetry, and reflections from members of the community. The keynote speaker will be former hate group member Tom Martinez who will speak at 7 p.m. about his personal experiences. The event is free of charge and open to the public.
Participatory activities begin at 5 p.m. when the Jamani Drummers will lead a "Drumming Circle." Everyone is invited to bring a drum or percussion instrument to join in the drumming. Those attending the rally will also have the opportunity to create a quilt square with a personal message about peace. "The program is meant to make a statement about the need to live in a society that doesn't perform mean-spirited and hateful acts against one another but one that practices compassion and understanding," said Sharon Brown, director of the Office of Institutional Diversity at Moravian.
The keynote speaker Martinez grew up poor, white, and angry in Philadelphia. He was drawn to the hate-filled world of Bob Mathews, founder of one of the most violent racist societies in America, called The Order. The charismatic Mathews led Martinez into a world of counterfeiting, knowledge of bombings, robbery, murder, and, finally, horrified awareness. His autobiography, Brotherhood of Murder, in which he tells the riveting story of his experiences in the group and how he regained his conscience and manhood by going undercover for the FBI to bring The Order down, was hailed as an inside look into the subculture of hate and was turned into a Showtime Original Picture.

HB 4283: Bill Allowing Certain Rifles in Shotgun Zone
Summary: HB 4283 would allow a number of certain cartridges to be used in rifles in Michigan's southern limited firearms area, more commonly called the "shotgun zone" during the firearm deer season. The measure seeks to bring Michigan in line with surrounding states like Indiana, and could potentially get more women and youth participating in firearm season in the shotgun zone.
Current Status: Passed in House. Public testimony heard on October 3, 2013 in the Senate Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Committee, where a minor technical amendment was adopted. The Senate Committee reported the bill out on November 12, 2013 to the full Senate where it still awaits action.
Call your State Senator and ask that they vote Yes on HB 4283!
Analysis: Under Michigan's current law, only shotguns, muzzle loaders, and certain pistols can be used during firearm deer season in the shotgun zone. However, according to the ammunition manufacturers' specifications, the rifles and ammunition proposed to be added to the shotgun zone have less power, some 40-50% less, and also have less muzzle and 100 yard velocity than the shotguns and in-line muzzle loaders presently allowed in the zone.
Currently, the following firearms are allowed during firearm deer season in the southern "shotgun zone":
— A shotgun with a smooth or rifled barrel.
— A .35 caliber or larger pistol capable of holding no more than nine shells at one time in the barrel and magazine combined and loaded with straight-walled cartridges.
— A muzzle-loading rifle or black-powder pistol loaded with black-powder or a commercially manufactured black-powder substitute.
The bill also would expand the allowed firearms to include a .35 caliber or larger rifle loaded with straight-walled cartridges with a minimum case length of 1.16 inches and a maximum case length of 1.80 inches.
MUCC Action: MUCC supports this bill.
Sponsor: Rep. Matt Lori (R-Constantine)
MUCC Policy Resolution: AC020610: MICHIGAN FIREARM DEER SEASON – SHOTGUN ZONE. A resolution requesting that MUCC urge the NRC to change the law regulating the Shotgun zone to allow use of Rifles using straight walled pistol cartridges

Thorlos Value
Value comes in many forms. But we are keenly aware that it boils down to you get what you pay for when you pay $14.95 for a pair of Thorlos, we know you have to get a lot in order for you to consider it a bargain. And that's the goal we set for ourselves giving you so much more than you expect in terms of protection, comfort and foot health.
Over the years, our new and long-time loyal customers have told us time and again in their testimonials why they experience Thorlos as the best socks to protect their feet. They have highlighted six different types of value you can count on from your Thorlos, and that's why they consider Thorlos such a bargain. Here is what you can hold us to, and some recent unsolicited testimonials that capture what current wearers have shared regarding their personal experiences
Functional Effectiveness – Thorlos are designed to provide the best price/value proposition
"These are the first socks I've ever worn that both comfort my abused feet, stay up all day without slippage and yet do not constrict my calves. Love these socks!! Worth every penny." Susan J.
"These socks keep my feet warm but also dry. They're like nothing else I've found, worth the money." Robert F.
"I have worn these socks for years to work, at home and to bed. Love these socks, great fit, great support all day long, and wear forever wash after wash. Buy these socks and you will never buy any other sock." Kathy S.
Durability – Thorlos are designed to last
"Since I bought my first pair of Thorlos socks, I have bought no other brand. The quality and comfort are unique. I buy a fraction of the socks I used to buy because Thorlos last so long. I am sure I am paying less for socks because of that. Even after months of use and washings, these look great and fit well." Richard B.
"I wear these socks to work every day. I manage a large vineyard so in the course of my job I do a fair amount of walking each day and I have found these to be the most comfortable socks I have ever used. They may be a little more expensive than other brands but I will wear them three to four times longer and they still feel good after years of service." Rand D.
"I have worn Thorlo for at least 20 years. Nothing out there will stand up to the punishment of these socks. I don't have to buy but every 5 to 6 years. I love your socks! " Brent S.
"This is only my second time ordering because these socks LAST. I have other socks that wear thin in a year and get pitched. Worth the money considering the quality." Kendra L.
Evidenced-based Benefits – Thorlos have been clinically shown to reduce blisters, reduce foot pain, reduce pressures and wick moisture
"Cheap socks were giving my feet blisters if I walked even a mile. Thorlos socks have never given me a blister. Count me very satisfied. These are expensive socks, and worth every penny." Michael C.
"I no longer have plantar fasciitis in using these Thor-Lo socks, nor pain in my calves. Amazing cushion while I run both long distance and conducting my interval trainings. Highly recommended!" Thomas B.
"Thorlos are the best socks on the market. Quality is top notch, they last a long time, the cushion is great and they are MADE IN THE USA! THORLON has wonderful wicking properties and completely prevents blisters. Doesn't matter how warm your feet are when you take Thorlos off because your feet are dry!!" Peg G.
Satisfaction/Enjoyment – Thorlos foot protection provides unsurpassed comfort
"Anybody who is active in sports or spends a lot of time on their feet should invest in Thorlos [padded] socks as their product isn't just another pair of socks. They're engineered for maximum comfort in whatever sport or use they're designed for. If you're into tennis or running, you have a lot invested in your feet and footwear and clothing .It makes sense not to skimp on your socks after you've tried on a pair of their socks as their socks are the only brand I'll wear because after I discovered them ,I'd never wear anything else-they're that good!!" Stephen M.
"I LOVE ALL my Thorlo [padded] socks. These socks fit perfectly. They NEVER slide down during the entire day, yet they do not cut off your circulation. I have no interest in buying any other brand of sock." Dee Dee S.
"You cannot beat the performance and comfort of these socks. Buying them online is fast and easy. You won't be sorry you tried these socks if you like thick, comfortable, long lasting socks! And best of all they are made in the USA." Gary B
Brand Promise Guarantee – Thorlos: Your feet will feel better or your money back®. Customers reinforce our promise in their feedback:
"Our whole family of five wears Thorlo socks, you won't get a better sock anywhere! Definitely worth the investment...I guarantee you that you will be in love with these [padded] socks and will never buy others ever again." Shari M.
"I don't wear any other [padded] socks unless all of my Thorlos are dirty!! Until I tried Thorlos, I thought "socks" were "socks". NOT!! I have some Thorlos that I have been wearing....probably weekly or almost.....for over 10 years! No other socks compare as far as I am concerned. I wear them for hiking, backpacking, hunting, fishing, work, play...every day! Don't mess with my Thorlos! Buy some. I guarantee if you don't like them, you can give them to me!" Brent M.
"I bought these as a gift for a retired football player. He introduced me to Thorlos and guaranteed they were the best socks ever. He was right!" Rebecca T.
Service – Thorlos customer service matches our product performance
"I just wanted to send a quick note to say that Becky Bass is the most helpful customer service rep I've worked with, out of any business I've called or emailed! She was so nice, and an A+ example of terrific customer service. I'll definitely keep coming back to Thorlos. Thanks so much!" Sarah B.
"I rarely take time to do these kinds of things, but I want to bring to your attention the excellent (actually unbelievable) customer service that I received from Susan Graham. The details are available from her, but I had a small issue with placing a web order, and Susan went above and beyond to assist me. Her customer service, in short, was the best I have ever received from any company, period. This quality reflects well on both your leadership and the company." Scott C.
"I am a Disney trained customer service "nut". I will not give my business to those that don't give OUTSTANDING customer service. Susan Graham just topped everyone that I have done business with in several years. Her caring and concern for her customer is very apparent. My business won't make or break your organization. However, if Susan's attitude is representative of your company's culture THORLO is in good hands." Ronald P.
Overall Value Means More Activity, Resulting in More Life!
All of these values lead in one way or another to a better quality of life. We call it More Life! The ultimate value or end-benefit wearers of Thorlos realize is the ability to do more of what they love…the things that keep them vital in body, mind and spirit.
Here's what we've heard most recently about the Thorlos price-value relationship:

I got these socks for my wife because she has had some foot pain. Turned out she had all ready gotten some for her self.

I have worn many different socks in the past 66 years and by far, Thorlos are the most comfortable and they also last far longer than any other sock I have ever worn! A little secret I learned about keeping your feet soft: Put petroleum jelly on your feet and then wear your Thorlos! This summer I plan to purchase the "no show" kind.

Everyday socks
02/07/14 | By Mike H.
I purchased four pair of these sock about three years ago. They were expensive but they were Tholos so I thought I would give them a try. I have literally worn these four pair of socks almost every day for the past three years and have yet to see any signs of wear. I can't believe the quality. The elastic has held up perfectly.

Solid and comfy
02/06/14 | By Kathi L.
I was growning tired of my trouser socks falling apart so quickly and decided to start looking at hiking or running socks for a replacement. Back in 2004 I bought 2 pair of Thorlo medium weight hikers and I still wear them today. After a google search, and browsing many kinds of socks, I found the walking socks from Thorlo in brown. Yay! I bought one pair. They are padded well, comfortable, stay in place and look just as good as trouser socks. I am a physical therapist. I often exercise with my patients and am on my feet all day. These socks hold up to the challenge. I will be buying more.

These are the best!! Love them!!

I have been wearing Thorlo's exclusively for a long time and they continue to be the most comfortable and sturdy socks I have ever worn. I have developed Neuropathy and the TX is a perfect solution for the need to wear a padded footwear. The socks are not only extremely comfortable but are very durable and long lasting. I would recommend Thorlo to anyone looking for a great pair of socks.

In this upcoming issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, Nick Lachey comes clean about separation from Jessica Simpson. The former Newlywed said that he stills loves her, that Joe Simpson influenced their marriage, that he still doesn't know whether she cheated on him and that he was 'told' he would be getting a divorce.
Look, Jessica's no angel, but she's not all to blame. Judging from this cover of US Weekly, Nick always had to have the bigger cleavage.

Born in York, Pennsylvania and married in 1964 to David. Within 8 months of signing up for foster children we had 5! They were Scott age 2, Randy age 8, Robbie age 3 months, Donnie age 10 and Tina age 11. What a book that could be just about fostering! Later we were able to adopt Scott and Randy and the other children were returned to their birth parents. The house was very empty so we contacted Lutheran Social Services and in the next few years, we adopted Kristal (age 6 weeks), siblings Kevin, John and Kelcey ages 5, 6, and 8 respectively. Then a miracle--in 1 year's time I was pregnant twice and had Jeanenne first and then James. And Baby Made Nine! (one of my stories to come). Enough with the babies! We then adopted Robert from Vietnam and lastly Laura from Texas. Though we lost both Laura and Kelcey to death, our love and memories will never end.
For you, my children and grandchildren, our lives expressed in stories, starting with Trudy, our family dog.

text: The Midnight Raiders wiki last edited by NuclearWinter on 08/03/13 08:03AM View full history The Mission"Operation Midnight", a simple reconnaissance mission, looks straight forward enough. As the rookie gunner of the first Apache "Dragonfly", your job is to rescue Victor Mensch, a world renowned expert on nerve gases who is being held hostage at the Al Shakkur chemical installation deep in enemy territory.As the rookie of the Midnight Raiders team, you're psyched to get up there and show them what you're made of. But within seconds, two Blackhawk troop carriers are shot down over enemy targets. Waiting for your next command from OpCom, you suddenly realize something has gone terribly wrong. With only 2 choppers and no air cover, you're chances of making it out alive are getting slimmer by the minute. And yet, CIA agent Adams refuses to abort "Operation Midnight".Now there's no turning back. You've got to penetrate a wall of heavily armed security guards, retrieve the hostage, plant a tactical nuke in a specific locale and get out of the plant before it blows. All Adams asks is that you "extract the professor and leave no traces".As you dive into danger, first in the air, than on foot and finally by jeep, you can't help but wonder - why was this seemingly ill-fated missions ordered to continue? Could it be that you - a rookie shooter - are completely expendable at the hands of one crooked bureaucrat?`Taken straight out of the Sega CD manual`

The manufacturer of the XP2, Holeys, produces innovative lifestyle products featuring technically advanced closed cell polymer foam. Incorporated in their products is SmartCel memory foam to provide comfort, improved support and resiliency. Additionally, all new footwear models produced, include Sole-tek, Holeys' slip-resistant thermo rubber sole for increased stability and durability.
The XP2 is available in multiple colors and touts exceptional comfort and support. The shoes are available in both kids and adult sizes. All sizes of the XP2 include a built in arch and tarsal support and massaging orthotic footbed. The heelstrap can be used to secure the shoe or it can be flipped forward for easy slip on. Additionally, the shoes are antimicrobial and odor resistant.
Holeys XP2, the next generation of footwear, is easy to get into and easy to get out of! The kids on the review team were thrilled that they could put them on and take them off themselves (as were their parents)! It doesn't get much easier to wear and use than Holeys XP2.
Designed to be used in virtually any environment, wet or dry, Holeys XP2 are made super strong for all sorts of fun! From the beach to the playground, Holeys XP2 will stick with them every step of the way. As such, our review team saw no major cause for concern in the Durability department.
"Those are awesome!" was something we heard from more than one little reviewer! And if a kid likes the look of the shoe, you can almost guarantee they'll be happy to wear it – which is exactly why their parents helped review Holeys XP2 so high in this category!
Like all Holeys shoes, XP2 are designed to handle both wet use and dry use. But, like many of Holeys shoes, these aren't designed for all sports activities, limiting them slightly. But for every day fun, Holeys XP2 may be the perfect shoe.
Our review team loves when they can peg a price right on – and there was no shortage of high-fives when they nailed Holeys XP2's price! Our team suggested a retail price of $20 – and Holeys XP2 is actually priced at $20.99. Right on!
There are a few brands making waves in the category of shoes with designs similar to Holeys XP2 – so they didn't earn top scores as a true original.
Holeys XP2 was a real crowd pleaser among our review team. Sure, there are a number of knock-offs out there of Holeys style, but none are as durable, are as comfortable or perform as well. With all of that and awesome style on its side, Holeys XP2 rates five stars for sure!

Ray McNulty: 5 years later, Vero Beach recovers from Dodgers' departure
VERO BEACH — It was exactly five years ago that the Los Angeles Dodgers' buses pulled away from Dodgertown for the last time, taking with them a rite of spring celebrated in this small, seaside community for six mostly wonderful decades.
It was St. Patrick's Day 2008, a nostalgia-filled afternoon many of us who were there for Holman Stadium's Grapefruit League finale will never forget, the end of major league baseball's annual stay in what was America's quintessential spring-training town.
"It was catastrophic," longtime Dodgertown boss Craig Callan said, "like losing a loved one."
That's how it felt.
There was a sadness about the place, a genuine sense of loss, a wistful longing for the Rockwellian days when spring training marked the time and the Dodgers were as much a part of life here as citrus, sunshine and seasonal visitors.
The Dodgers' departure hit us hard, though we knew it was coming.
It hurt.
It hurt enough that we tried foolishly to fill the void by chasing another team, the Baltimore Orioles, who pretended to like us only so we could be used for leverage in their negotiations in Sarasota.
It hurt for about a year.
Now, though, whatever pain or pangs we felt are gone, as far away as Camel-back Ranch, the Dodgers' glitzy, new digs in the Arizona desert. We've stopped wishing and waiting for something that will never happen. We've gotten over our disappointment, moved past the past, accepted the inevitable.
We've moved on — to the point where few folks in this community still miss spring training here, or even mention it.
"I miss it, but I'm a baseball guy," said Bobby McCarthy, owner of Bobby's Restaurant & Lounge, a popular gathering spot for the Dodgers and their spring-training contingent for more than 25 years. "I go down to Port St. Lucie to watch the Mets.
"But as far people here, they don't mention it much. And when they do talk about spring training, they're usually reminiscing about Dodgertown or wondering if we'll ever get another team, which isn't going to happen.
"The Orioles were never coming here," he continued. "And even if they had, it wouldn't have been the same. The history is gone, the Dodger mystique is gone. The feel-good times ended when Peter O'Malley sold the team.
"So getting the Orioles would've brought back baseball, but it wouldn't have been anything like what we remember."
There wouldn't be that unique connection, that special bond between the team and town. That's what we remember. That's what we miss.
We miss the memory of what Dodgertown was — not what spring training has become.
The hard truth is: Spring training, now just another revenue stream for baseball's money-first owners, has outgrown Vero Beach.
"When I got here in 1978, this was a retirement town, so people had time to go the games and you could get a ticket for $2.50," McCarthy said. "You still had the old Brooklyn fans coming down. You also had people coming to Florida on spring-training trips, and they'd always stop here. But a lot has changed."
In what ways?
"The demographics of the community are different," McCarthy explained. "Now, more people here are working, so they can't just take off to go to games in the middle of the day. Ticket prices have gone way up. And by the time the Dodgers decided to leave, most of the Brooklyn fans had died off.
"The last 10 years, you had mostly local people going to the games. You saw the same faces. So unless they were playing the Yankees or Red Sox or Mets, you'd get 2,500 people out there. At the end, even with the Dodgers here, it wasn't the same."
And wouldn't be again.
Those of us who were here when Dodgertown was baseball heaven still cling to the memories. Those of us who were there the day the Dodgers deserted the Treasure Coast still remember how we felt watching the buses pull away.
"The Dodgers left an indelible mark on our community," said Callan, who managed Dodgertown's operations for 30-plus years and still runs the place for the O'Malley-led partnership at what is now Vero Beach Sports Village. "It was a big jolt to the community when they left.
"We've gotten over the emotional part. Economically, we might be better off with what we're doing out there now. And while I'm sure there are some people here who still miss spring training, truth is, most of us have moved on."
To the point where not a lot of folks here still talk about it ... or want to.

MILWAUKEE (WITI) — The new national health care law goes into effect on October 1st and a recent survey shows only 25% of Americans understand the Affordable Care Act.
Experts say Wisconsin businesses will be impacted and Milwaukee area companies have differing opinions on the new law. On Thursday, September 26th, the Milwaukee Press Club held a discussion panel regarding the impact of the health care overhaul.
David Mitchell, CEO of Monarch Corporation, a mining equipment company in northeast Milwaukee, says he's worried about being able to provide health benefits for his 50 employees once the Affordable Care Act is implemented.
"I'm concerned about providing them competitive health care in this environment so that I can get them the benefits they need and keep the highly-skilled labor that we need to produce the product that we produce for our customer base," said Mitchell.
President and CEO of Froedtert Health, Cathy Jacobson, says she's optimistic about the changes coming to her industry.
"The system is actively trying to change. I've been in health care for over 30 years and it's the first time I'm seeing real demonstrative movement to change, real things going on, and that's a great outcome," said Jacobson. "Even folks who have employer-based health care today, their employers are going to have to face a lot of changes and challenges over the years. Who's to say how that's all going to roll out?"
Jacobson says the question she hears most from patients is "what do I have to do on October 1st?" She says most people are more concerned with the personal impact of the Affordable Health Care Act than with the political one.

Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is the standard full time load for one year of study.
Fee paying place - Domestic (DFP)
A fee paying place is one for which the university does not receive any government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute the full cost of their course.
Fee paying places are available to domestic students. Domestic students are those who are Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or holders of a permanent visa.
* The 'indicative annual course fee' cited has been provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking a full-time quota of units within the specified discipline.
The actual fees charged by Deakin University will depend upon the discipline from which each individual unit is chosen, and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2015 can be viewed from the Unit Search.

Receivers - Fisher Studio Standard RS-1022
I had this receiver for about a year, and used it as part of a small garage system. It sounded fine, but I never pushed it hard. I liked the styling, but wasn't a fan of the grey buttons or plastic knobs. Pioneer, during the same era, used metal knobs on most receivers, and there's a quality difference you can feel. That subtle tactile difference between often-used controls makes a difference in the long run.
Wasn't able to pull up too much info on this receiver online. Looks like it was made between 1977 and 1983, although the exact production dates are buried in the deep Web. Feel free to add any info you'd like in the comment section below or email me hificollector88 [at] gmail.com. Thanks!

My brother had one of these in the late 70's. We were teenagers and he used to crank up the Styx and Kansas and Rush while he was getting ready for school. I always loved how it looked and it sounded OK I guess, but I didn't have anything to compare it to at the time.ReplyDelete

I'm using it to power two B&W DM330i speakers in my bedroom. I like the sound with the bass a bit reduced. Although it's a rather old combination, it sounds quite good.ReplyDelete
Just listening to some jazz music, my brother walked in (he loves jazz)and was impressed by the sound of the overall system (2x DM330i powered with Fisher, 2x DM330 powered with Luxman. I know, quite an overkill for a rather small room, but it sounds good).

Letter to the Editor: Lack of health insurance
CORPUS CHRISTI - Health care is essential for most people. I recently had an encounter with the local health care system process. My family member has been terribly ill and has no health care insurance. She is 45 years old. She has been in two hospital emergency rooms seeking some type of relief and answers. Each location just put a Band-Aid on the situation. She nearly died due to her condition.
If it were not for the persistence of her parents refusing to be discharged from the ER she would have gone home and died. She ended up requiring a blood transfusion, a central line put in, multiple X-rays and surgery. All these issues were found during her inpatient stay (after the fact).
We as a community and society have to stop putting a price tag, or the lack of a price tag, on good health care treatment. The hospital stay ended up being six days. She obviously was sick but not having medical insurance almost killed her.
So I hope we can figure out a way to "treat" people in our local ERs. Let's not let the ability to pay become the primary goal for receiving the best medical care possible.

Here come those golden nuggets of baby that Jennifer Lopez has been lugging around for nine months! The Gigli star is currently holed up giving birth in her private room at the North Shore University Hospital, where she is presumably being fanned by a small army of male models and fed grapes by an endangered monkey, as an assistant does all the pushing for her. The room sat empty for two weeks before J. Lo arrived, complete with plush leather couches and beefed up security. Hospital staff even supposedly ran drills to prepare for a possible Lopez-Anthony baby kidnapping. Rats! They foiled my plan!
Clearly, Jenny thinks she is the unofficial Queen of America, but she may be the only one at her coronation. People mag has reportedly offered Lopez $6 million for exclusive photos of her kids that will go in their US edition only, and OK! has forked over a bundle for the international rights. But why didn't they go for the right to print the photos here in the States? One unimpressed expert responds: "Look at her track record with her movies, and look at her album sales. The U.S. market hasn?t been fascinated with her in some time,? the source said. ?It makes more sense to not spend a fortune on photos that won?t cause a noticeable increase on the newsstand. This just isn?t going to sell like Shiloh (Jolie-Pitt), and $6 million is a lot of money.?

"For all those people out there that were constantly complaining that Lost wasn't
answering any questions, and spinning its wheels about the big mystery,
after last week's episode I think we can safely tell you all to talk to

second season everything about the show had been turned upside down."

Bioinformaticians, human geneticists, molecular biologists, oncologists, pathologists, lawyers and theologians are all participating in the project "Ethical and legal aspects of the total sequencing of the human genome" (EURAT) being carried out at Heidelberg University's Marsilius Kolleg. The project partners are developing a common viewpoint and working out solutions for problems arising from the possibilities of total genome sequencing.
The Marsilius Kolleg
EURAT is the latest project undertaken by the Marsilius Kolleg, which was established in 2007 as the "Center for Advanced Study" at the University of Heidelberg. It is named after the first rector of the University of Heidelberg, Marsilius von Inghen, who established the university 625 years ago under the reign of elector Ruprecht I and directed it until his death in 1396. The Marsilius Kolleg is a key element of Heidelberg University's successful Excellence Initiative proposal and its goal is to promote interdisciplinary dialogue, networking and research, particularly aimed at bridging the gap between the sciences and the humanities, but also between these disciplines and the legal, economic and social sciences.
Housed in "Haus Buhl", a small baroque palace in the old town of Heidelberg, the Marsilius Kolleg is an institution where representatives of different scientific cultures "strive for unity in diversity instead of mere diversity without unity" (Director of the Marsilius Kolleg Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schluchter), by working on theoretical and practical aspects that cannot be solved by one discipline alone. Every year, the Kolleg admits ten to 15 fellows, who contribute to the progress of such interdisciplinary projects.
In the intervening period, even some early enthusiasts have become somewhat disillusioned. Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus wrote (N Engl J Med 362, p. 2028; 2010): "Now, after the first decade of a postgenome world, only a handful of major changes - some gene-specific treatments for a few cancers, some novel therapies for a few mendelian traits, and some strong genetic markers for assessing drug responsiveness, risk of disease, or risk of disease progression - have entered routine medical practice." The majority of this progress results from discoveries that preceded the deciphering of the human genome. Varmus concludes that genomics and related disciplines are still more closely related to modern sciences than to modern medicine. He added that the disciplines created broad knowledge but that this new information has only been used in a few cases as the rule for risks, disciplines and therapies.
The ICGC also focuses on the investigation of gene expression regulation, the transcriptome and epigenetic modifications. In the ICGC, Peter Lichter from the DKFZ coordinates the analysis of paediatric brain tumours, which are the major cause of cancer-related deaths in young children. Genome analyses improve our knowledge of the development of diseases, diagnoses, therapies and prevention, thereby creating the basis for a personalized medicine that enables an efficient application of drugs.
According to Leroy Hood, a pioneer of systems biology and sequencing technology, there are already hundreds of known genetic variants that have an influence on the diseases we contract, and that affect our ability to tolerate drugs and dictate the quantity we need to take.

Family heirlooms, like the elephant sculpture, intermingle with contemporary white sofas to great effect.
Los Angeles interior designer Kishani Perera worked with these homeowners, a young family, to create a light, airy and modern home with references to their Indian heritage. Since they didn't feel comfortable with colour on the walls, Perera relied on pieces of Asian art and select hits of saturated colour, common in Indian design, to add vibrancy. She also chose mostly solid upholstery for the large pieces, leaving the patterns to accent pillows or a chair in order to keep the look serene and global rather than over-the-top ethnic. Fabrics with lots of texture layer in dimension and interest.

Voyager Knit Medallion-Print Maxi Dress 7 7
lovely on, buy it ! I'm 5'5" 155lbs 38B, fits great. Makes me feel wonderful. Dress up w/jewels or barefoot by the pool in the evening. April 8, 2014
Very pretty, except a little too loose and long I bought the orange (love!) in my normal size (8). I'm 5'5", 34C, about 140 lbs. The top fits well. I wish it were a little less full just under the bust, so that it would flatter the smallest part of most my - and many women's - body. Also, it seems a little too long. It is just shy of dragging on the ground; I prefer a maxi to be more of an ankle-grazing length. I'm still deciding wihether to try a size 6 or keep it. August 3, 2014
love love the way this fits and looks on i would recommend this dress. the quality looks like twice the price. March 12, 2013
Nice Dress This dress is stunning in color ( I have the blue). I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. My only complaint is that (and this may just be my body type) it fits well in the top, but I feel the bottom or skirt part of the dress could be more fitted to the body. But don't let that stop you from buying this dress. It is comfortable and beautiful all at the same time. July 5, 2013
Flattering, comfortable and well made. This dress will be worn all summer. May 20, 2014
Just like the photo When I saw this picture, I was immediately taken by the attractive print. I wasn't disappointed. And maxis are very in this summer. May 7, 2013
Great fit and style...very flattering dress! Fabric feels good and wears nicely. June 5, 2013

There are now only a few days to go to the start of the 2014 Formula 1 season and this year, like never before, there is a great sense of anticipation to see the cars take to the track on Friday in Albert Park for the opening day of the Australian Grand Prix weekend.
For Kimi Raikkonen, there's an extra reason why it will feel special, because he will be starting his second stint at Ferrari.
Most recently, the Finn won this race in 2013, but he also did it back in 2007, when he made his Ferrari debut, thus joining a select band who triumphed first time out for the Prancing Horse, drivers of the calibre of Juan Manuel Fangio, Mario Andretti and Nigel Mansell. Only one other driver managed it after Kimi and that is his current team-mate, Fernando Alonso.
Raikkonen recalled, "I remember very well my first win with Ferrari," Kimi told www.ferrari.com. "it couldn't have been a better start to my seventh year in Formula 1, with a dominant win from pole. Winning always feels great for me."
"Nothing could be better. Last year, we also managed to win, which certainly surprised people because unlike 2007, at Lotus we weren't favourites. So, if I had to compare the two Australian wins, somehow, winning it last year for the second time felt even a little bit nicer after such a difficult pre-season testing period."
"Australia is a great place to start the season, Melbourne is a wonderful city and, for us Europeans it always feels a bit special to be in this different part of the world. Only the weather is not always that nice," added Raikkonen.
"I can remember only one GP here where there was sunshine all the time. Of course, I'd prefer dry and hot weekends, especially this year with a completely new car and so many technical aspects still to be understood completely."
Raikkonen ran the Albert Park track programme on the simulator Wednesday, to try and anticipate unusual situations that could arise because of the characteristics of the 2014 car.
"The track is not that difficult and it's a combination of a street circuit and a permanent race track and the event is very well organised. Sure, if your car is not well balanced then life can get difficult because you can lose a lot of time compared to those have got it right. If it rains, then the track is very, very slippery and the white lines can be really treacherous."
The Iceman won't be drawn into what could be the possible outcome of the race, "Making predictions has never been my habit and this year there is even more reason not to. We are heading Down Under with brand new cars and I reckon it is wide open and anything can happen."
"In Maranello, we have worked hard and the F14 T seems to be a good car, but the track will tell who is quickest. When we start running to see where we are, we will at least have some data to give us a starting point." (Ferrari)
