Queen Miraj Scintel
The Queen of Zygerria, Miraj Scintel longs for a return to glory for her people. Ages ago, the Zygerrian Slave Empire stretched across many sectors, supplying luckless labor to unscrupulous masters in the galaxy. Scintel takes advantage of a Republic distracted by war to grow the slave trade, allied by the Separatist Alliance. When Anakin Skywalker goes undercover to infiltrate Scintel's court, and discover the whereabouts of a vanished colony of Togruta artisans, the wily Queen takes interest in him. She sees in Anakin a prize to own and overpower, and uses her seductive charms to her full advantage.

- Height: 1.85m ,

Anakin Skywalker
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but also had a fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.
Ahsoka Tano
Ahsoka Tano, a Togruta female, was the Padawan learner to Anakin Skywalker and a hero of the Clone Wars. Alongside Anakin, she grew from headstrong student into a mature leader. But her destiny laid along a different path than the Jedi.
Count Dooku
Count Dooku was a menacing Sith Lord and central figure in the Clone Wars. Once a Jedi -- trained by Yoda -- he became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and thirsted for greater power. Dooku voluntarily left the light side behind and became Darth Sidious' dark side disciple, taking the secret name Darth Tyranus and leading the Separatist army.
Zygerria is a picturesque world with fortress-capped mesas that extend above windswept plains. Graceful brezak creatures catch the wind currents and soar effortlessly from butte to butte. The beauty of the planet hides the fact that Zygerria's cities were all built upon the backs of slaves. For thousands of years, Zygerria supplied slave labor the the galaxy; the Zygerrian Slave Empire became wealthy and powerful, as did those who exploited their chained subjects. After the Jedi Knights cracked down on the slave trade, Zygerria diminished. Its old fortresses and slave markets are still impressive edifices, though their luster has faded from time. Some Zygerrians are actively plotting a return to the old ways, and are finding eager allies in the Clone Wars.
Atai Molec
Atai Molec is the ruthless prime minister of Zygerria who will do whatever it takes to bring his homeworld back to its former majesty. He also serves as Captain of the Guard, leading the royal sentinels sworn to protect the Queen and enforce Zygerrian dominance over their slaves. Despite his rank, Molec often took a hands-on approach. He has been known to personally prowl the markets on foot, vigiliant for any inklings of rebellion, and he delights in breaking slaves himself, brandishing the Zygerrian electro-whip with unrivaled cruelty.
Separatist Alliance
In the final days of the Republic, the galactic government had grown so huge and corrupt that any attempt at change required radical thinking and extreme actions. Outlying systems that saw no benefit from being part of the Republic despite paying heavy taxes, began to rebel. This undercurrent of disgust towards Coruscant was seized by a charismatic leader, Count Dooku. The former Jedi rallied together these worlds in a Separatist movement that saw the departure of thousands of systems from the Republic. When Dooku's alliance was secretly backed by corporate titans that offered their unlimited droid armies to the cause, the Separatists emerged as a major threat to the Republic, and the galaxy tipped towards full scale war.

Tics — sudden, repetitive movements or sounds that some people make, seemingly without being aware of it — are more common than you might realize. Indeed, many people have tics that go away in less than a year or mild tics that don't interfere with their lives.
But in some kids, tics are more severe or long lasting. If a child has tics for more than a year, it is called a chronic tic disorder. In some cases, these tics can be part of a condition called Tourette syndrome.
The tics associated with Tourette syndrome tend to get milder or go away entirely as kids grow into adulthood. Until that happens, though, parents can help their child cope with the condition.
Tourette syndrome (TS) is named for French doctor Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first described the condition in 1885. It's thought to be a genetic condition that's inherited in most cases. Experts don't know the exact cause of TS, but some research points to changes in the brain and problems with how nerve cells communicate. A disturbance in the balance of neurotransmitters — chemicals in the brain that carry nerve signals from cell to cell — might play a role.
Symptoms of Tourette syndrome, which is not contagious, usually emerge in childhood or the teen years. TS isn't common — only about 3 in every 1,000 people have it, and boys are more likely to be affected.
To be diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, a person must have several different types of tics — specifically, multiple motor tics and at least one vocal tic.
The main symptoms of TS are motor tics (sudden, apparently uncontrollable movements like exaggerated blinking of the eyes) or vocal tics (such as repeated throat clearing).
At certain times, like when someone is under stress, the tics can become more severe, more frequent, or longer, or the type of tic may change altogether. (This is also true of people who have tics that are not part of Tourette syndrome.)
Some kids can suppress their tics for a short time. But tension builds, and it eventually has to be released as a tic. And if a person is concentrating on controlling the tic, it may be hard to focus on anything else. This can make it hard for kids with TS to have a conversation or pay attention in class.
Tics are classified as either simple or complex. Simple motor tics, for example, happen suddenly and separately from other tics and involve just a few muscles. Some examples are eye blinking and grimacing. In contrast, complex motor tics usually involve more muscle groups. For example, someone might touch a body part or another person repeatedly. In rare cases, people with TS might have a tic that makes them harm themselves, such as head banging.
Simple vocal tics can be throat clearing, sniffing, or humming, whereas complex vocal tics can involve repeating other people's words (a condition called echolalia) or involuntary swearing (called coprolalia).
In addition, many kids and teens with TS have other conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Learning disabilities and sleeping problems are also common in people with TS.
Pediatricians and family doctors may refer a child with symptoms of TS to a neurologist, a doctor who specializes in problems with the nervous system. Before TS can be diagnosed, someone must have tics for at least a year. Although tics may occur every day or intermittently throughout the year, for TS to be diagnosed, there must not be a tic-free period longer than 3 months. The neurologist may ask you to keep track of the frequency and kinds of tics your child is having.
There isn't a specific diagnostic test for TS — instead, the doctor diagnoses it after taking a medical history and doing a physical exam. Sometimes, doctors use imaging tests like magnetic resonance imaging tests (MRIs), computerized tomography (CT) scans, electroencephalograms (EEGs), or blood tests to rule out other conditions that might have symptoms similar to TS.
Just as TS is different for every person, the treatment for it varies, too. Most tics do not interfere with a child's life and do not require any medication. While there isn't a cure for TS, sometimes doctors suggest medications to help control symptoms that begin to interfere with someone's schoolwork or daily life. Talk to your doctor about whether medication would be right for your child.
TS is not a psychological condition, but doctors sometimes refer kids and teens with TS to a psychologist or psychiatrist. Seeing a therapist won't stop tics, but it can help kids and teens to talk to someone about their problems, cope with stress better, and learn relaxation techniques.
Many people don't understand what TS is or what causes it, so they might not know what to make of someone who has TS. And if people stare, kids and teens with TS can feel embarrassed and frustrated. Someone who has it might have to explain the condition to others or deal with teasing or gawking.
The tics usually get milder as kids grow up and might go away in adulthood. But until then, these tips can help kids with TS cope:
Each person with TS will cope differently with its physical, emotional, and social challenges. Because TS doesn't usually restrict activities, though, kids who have it should be able to enjoy and participate in the same activities as their peers, and not let it interfere with their everyday lives.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Region play has been tough for the Dino soccer team as they have struggled to win a game.
Last week was no exception. They began on April 17, with a 3-2 loss in a non-region game against Union. On Wednesday they dropped another game to Delta with a 5-1 loss. And then on Friday they found themselves again on the losing end of a 3-0 affair against Salem Hills.
In the Union game it was Jose Munoz and Francisco Zaragoza that scored for Carbon. Coach Patrick Clifford felt like his team played really well and actually outshot the Cougars 25-12. But in the end it was another loss to a team that will be part of Carbon's new region next year.
Against Delta Clifford felt like his Dinos played some good soccer for 90 percent of the game. With five minutes left it was 2-1 in favor of Delta and the game was still within reach. That final five minutes was a bonanza for Delta as they punched in three goals for the big win. Cal Samuelson put in the lone goal for the Dinos.
Even with the lopsided score Clifford expressed that he was still proud of the way his team played hard against the top region team.
Finally, the team finished up the week with a home match against Salem Hills. The first half ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Carbon had even out shot the Sky Hawks 12-10.
Penalty calls against the Dinos cost them two goals in the second half and then Salem scored one final time in the second half and it was all over.
Clifford felt like his team out played Salem in the first half, but Salem out played them in the final period. Again he felt like his team played well, but came up short.
"It's been the story of our season," he said, "We just didn't catch any breaks."
The team has one final regular season game on Monday against North Sanpete and then will begin play-offs on Thursday.
If things stay as they are now, Carbon will travel to Logan for a play-in game.

Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen SPF 30+ Chemical Free Fragrance Free Sensitive
This is a very good pure mineral sunscreen whose sole actives are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Daily Moisturizer Face SPF 30+
This in-part zinc oxide sunscreen is formulated in a slightly emollient base formula that's best for normal to dry skin.
Add to Faves?
Blue Lizard At-a-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; every sunscreen offers reliable broad-spectrum protection; the sunscreens have great aesthetics, especially for normal to dry skin; some excellent sunscreens for sensitive and/or rosacea-affected skin.
Weaknesses: None of significance, though some of the sunscreen formulas would be even better if they contained an array of antioxidants.
Most well-known drugstores in America carry this small collection of sunscreens. The brand's name indicates an association with Australia, which is odd because these sunscreens are manufactured by Crown Laboratories, a U.S.-based company. As it turns out, the Blue Lizard brand isn't even sold in Australia, which the company confirmed. We suspect the Australia connection has to do with the facts that (1) all of these sunscreens provide high levels of sun protection and (2) that Australians now take sunscreen seriously because of the country's high rates of skin cancer (Source: www.health.gov.au). In this case, Blue Lizard is on the right track!
According to Blue Lizard, "Regular and Sport provide 80 minutes of water-resistant protection based on the FDA testing method. This is the maximum allowed claim by the FDA. Blue Lizard Regular/Sport has also been found to meet the more rigorous Australian test method for water resistance at 240 minutes. Baby, Sensitive and Face do not claim water-resistant protection."
In the United States, FDA regulation allows a "very water resistant" claim of no more than 80 minutes without needing to reapply (Source: www.fda.gov). Sunscreens labeled "water-resistant" must maintain sun protection for at least 40 minutes in water. Admittedly, it can be argued that Australia's method for determining a sunscreen's water resistance goes above and beyond what's required in the States. It does seem impressive that a sunscreen can last for 240 minutes (4 hours) in moving water, but legally and testing-wise, that's irrelevant for a sunscreen brand not sold in Australia. If anything, the United States' more conservative water-resistance timeframe is a stronger reminder to consumers that "water resistant" does not equal "waterproof," and so encourages consumers to be more diligent about reapplication. In summary, as long as you follow FDA guidelines for liberal application and reapplication after swimming or sweating for 80 minutes when the label says "very water resistant," you'll do fine with this brand.
The bottom line is that all of the Blue Lizard sunscreens are worth considering, regardless of where you live. They all provide impressive broad-spectrum sun protection and they're inexpensive. A few of them also are fragrance-free and contain only gentle mineral active ingredients, making them winners for those with sensitive skin. Although Blue Lizard isn't the only sunscreen brand to consider, and the formulas aren't perfect (the texture and finish won't please everyone, especially those with oily skin), they are worth strong consideration for anyone spending time outdoors.

edc talk is a preparedness topic. i carry keys and a wallet (smile).
If I've learned nothing else, it's that no one on BPL will change their position on firearms based on anything written here. I'm probably unprepared in an EDC sense compared to other people. I carry the smallest swiss army knife I could find on my keychain, I have a lanyard on my keychain which has 1.5 feet of nylon, my work phone which has a flashlight, and my iphone.

Check out www.foursevens.com for flashlights, best quality and value. Absolutely love mine, the Mini series and Preon series would be the best bet for ultra small, ultra durable LED lights.
"*on a lanyard in my pocket and attached to belt loop with cordSmall swiss army knifeNano Strikersmall led flashlight (suggestions welcome)"-Ian You might like my right back pocket EDC then:Nite ize carabiner bottle opener attached to my key ring via 6 feet of paracord in a king cobra stitch. On the key ring I have a 4sevens Preon and a peanut lighter. This clips to a belt loop and hangs into my back pocket.I love the Preon, great little aaa light. More light than I ever need, and it gets TONS of use.Yeah EDC topics usually accompany people who are into preparedness, so lots of guns, knives and paracord. Personally I only EDC what gets a lot of use on a regular basis. For me, this includes:Front pockets: my phone, wallet, pen, Chapstick.R. Back pocket: already outlined above^L. Back pocket:3'x3' silk bandana, 3" case(bone handle slip joint knife, never saw the need for the tactical stuff).Although I make and sell "survival" bracelets, I don't see much use for them in an actual survival situation. I think they are more hype than anything. But, my keychain fob, did come handy when I forgot the rope for the Xmas tree one year. And hey, paracord bracelets are a cool way to wear your team colors :)
Thanks for that suggestion Andrew; I wasn't familiar with their product.I like the specs on the Preon 0 so I'm going to order one and check it out. I carry a Surefire tactical flashlight at work. It appears that four sevens have some flashlights which compare well to my Surefire that I need to check out. I have a light which is a $2 version of the Photon micro-light but I'm always hitting the button so I can't count on the battery for when I'll need it. I like the specs on the Preon 0 so I'm going to order one along with a Micro-light for comparison.
Nice suggestions Nick!I used 550 cord and 100mph tape all of the time in the military. I still use the tape (albeit to a lesser degree) but admittedly almost never use the 550 cord. I've stopped carrying 550 cord in my ruck as there are lighter/less bulky options available but I'm a creature of habit so I don't have it in me to say goodbye to an old friend.

Do people (on the reddit thread) really carry all those things with them all the time? Seems like overkill for most of them. To put it mildly.

How does nobody carry a bottle opener? If you are going to be prepared for anything, it might as well include beer.
A motivated beer drinker needs no opener.
Edited by kthompson on 02/24/2013 14:34:39 MST.
Even the most motivated drinker only makes the "teeth" mistake once.
Max you carry that every day? or just while backpacking? a lot seems unnecessary and overkill. i'm with the keys and phone crowd. my keychain has a LED mini light and a mini bank card on it. car has a bunch of stuff that comes in handy while in the car or while car camping but i dont consider that EDC. i find people who EDC guns and large knives to be paranoid or compensating for something..
Ah, but the skillful beer drinker needs no teeth, nor an opener. Resourceful, inventive, and ever-vigilant, he will find a way. I once opened a bottle of wine with a pen and a shoe.
bic lighter,keys, someone else's countertop, by the keg.
Each to his or her own, of course... But for those of us who are urbanites or suburbanites -- do we really need to carry all that stuff as a matter of routine? Let's see, what do I carry?- wallet (cash, cards, ID, medical insurance card)- keysThat's it, really. Sometimes, I'll take my cell phone, but not always.
This time of year...a toque and fleece mitts.
Pockets-Keys-Wallet-Knife-PhoneThese get me out of most situations. If I need other stuff my car is usually close by. I keep my more serious tools like Leathermens etc. in there.One idea I need to check on is a basic first aid kit for the car. My chance of being injured or helping an injured person is probably greatest on the road. I do keep a CPR mouth guard in the car. I normally keep bear spray in the car too. Handy for stray dogs etc. I know its not meant for humans but I'm in Texas and I imagine most cops/judges would be okay with me spraying an assailant rather then shooting him.

CANTON St. Lawrence University President William L. Fox has signed on to a petition calling for stricter gun control.
The petition, titled College Presidents for Gun Safety, is being circulated among university leaders. So far, it has more than 160 signatures.
The presidents listed four goals for greater gun control:
n Ensuring the safety of communities by opposing legislation allowing guns on campuses and in classrooms.
n Ending the gun show loophole, which allows the purchase of guns from unlicensed sellers without a criminal background check.
n Reinstating the ban on military-style semiautomatic assault weapons along with high-capacity ammunition magazines.
n Requiring consumer safety standards for all guns, such as safety locks, access prevention laws and regulations to identify, prevent and correct manufacturing defects.

Wendell Strout sued Central Maine Medical Center after he was told he had pancreatic cancer and only months to live, when he actually had a more treatable form of cancer.
LEWISTON, Maine (AP) _ A Maine man who was told he had only months to live because of an aggressive Stage 4 pancreatic cancer is still alive more than four years later. And a jury has awarded him $200,000 for the doctor's misdiagnosis.
It turns out Wendell Strout suffers non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a more treatable form of cancer.
He sued Central Maine Medical Center for damages, citing "tremendous emotional distress'' as well as lost income and loss of enjoyment. The Sun Journal says a jury awarded him $200,000 on Thursday.
The lawsuit accused a former CMMC doctor of advising his patient that he "faced certain death'' before procuring pathology results.
Strout eventually got the good news that his affliction wasn't as dire as initially believed.

Im looking at this diagram which when simplied looks like this:
internet --- router --- firewall --- DMZ (dns,web,email,proxy) --- firewall ---- LAN
My questions:
1. is the router properly placed? sitting between the internet and firewall? isnt it supposed to be behind the firewall?
2. is this setup secure?
3. are the services within the DMZ supposed to be there?
The setup you have is pritty normal if the router does something usefull, like link failover, or link sharing or load ballancing, but in this case it does not seem to.
a fairly standard setup is to have the first device as a routing firewall or Gateway device (www.ebox-platform.com) that routes and filters in the same box. With a DMZ network off of hte gateway and then an internal network. This uses less boxes but you have to be very carefull with the routing and firewall rules.
Another common setup is to have the firewall then the router with the router routing incomming packets as needed to the DMS devices (usually port forwarding), and the other packets going to the otherfirwall and then to the internal lan.

The recent Conservative pre-election poster campaign 'I've never voted Tory before…' provides an interesting example of the three variables that interact in the persuasion process. That is, the communicator (source), the communication (message) and the audience (receiver) (Duck, Hogg & Terry, 2000).
Showing Ian the mechanic from Congleton in the poster immediately tells us that the target audience is men who are manual workers. The slogan is 'I've never voted Tory before…' also tells us that this cohort does not typically vote Tory. So how are the Tories attempting to persuade this group of non-traditional Tory voters?
Social psychologists have found that people are more likely to be influenced by communicators who are attractive (Kiesler & Kiesler, 1969) good communicators (Miller et al., 1976) and by peers and others who are similar (Triandis, 1971). Arguably Ian is attractive, similar to the target audience and by the written words, he communicates well. These variables on their own however, are unlikely to be persuasive enough to change the attitude of the target audience without a strong message.
Allyn & Festinger, (1961) suggest that simple messages are more effective than complex ones. The message being communicated by the poster can be read as – The Tories are the party to sort out the economy and therefore provide work. What is also interesting is how fear can be used to as a tool to persuade (Leventhal et al., 1965). Implied also in the message here is that not voting Tory risks leaving the economy in a mess and threatening jobs. The effectiveness of such subtle forms of persuasion however, will be measured in the ballot box.

UPDATED 12:38 pm – The Columbus Blue Jackets have plucked Wade Dubielewicz off the waiver wire. Columbus, without Pascal Leclaire, was the other NHL team that really wanted the goalie.
While the Islanders did all the work signing Dubie, because of an absurd rule in the CBA, Columbus gets to pick off the contract. It's happened before. Bob Clarke ranted about it years ago and it still hasn't been changed.
Here's the crazy part. If Columbus had signed Dubielewicz, he would have had to clear waivers. As the team with the worst record, the Islanders could have picked him up.
For his part, Wade – with a pregnant wife and two-year old son in Connecticut – had bittersweet feelings about the move but was okay with the CBA rule. "Once I signed with the Islanders, my heart was set on playing here," he said. "But the rule is fair. It's there to provide opportunities for players." Dubielewicz is now getting ready to board a flight to Vancouver, where he will meet the Blue Jackets.
The Islanders will try to track down the Sound Tigers' bus – en route to Binghamton – to get a goalie, or find one elsewhere. Mike Dunham just told me he's not an option.
I really liked my Dubie story. Please read it anyway.
AM SKATE NOTES: Yann Danis was going to change his number to No. 75 and keep your No. 34 Dubie merchandise alive. Yann left the rink and may not even know the latest news about his backup tonight.
Sean Bergenheim only took part in the first 15 minutes of the skate and could miss another game with his strained side.
"NY Hockey This Week" will be live on Sunday on 1050 ESPN Radio, following the Rangers-Penguins game. Don La Greca and I should be on from about 3:30 – 4:30.
Brendan Shanahan, back where it all started, skated in his Devils gear at the Coliseum this morning and could make his season debut tonight.
With Atlanta's victory last night, the Islanders are now 7 points up in the Tavheduch Watch. Maybe it's just my PR background, but with all this Kansas City talk and subsequent passionate reaction in Islanders Country, wouldn't be the worst thing if the home team got a win in front of a large crowd tonight.
B.D. Gallof, a big help filling in with a dozen posts when I was away on assignment or from my laptop, is sidelined for the season with an upper upper body injury. My wish for Brian is that he takes the proper time off and makes a comeback when he's ready.
Point Blank is now in need of a doobie Dubie. Some experience and availability to cover games on Feb. 3 and Feb. 5 required. Please contact us at the site email if interested.

Cobra Speedster Long Exhaust For Harley
Cobra's Speedster Long exhaust system combines traditional shotgun styling and modern performance technology. These triple-chromed, shotgun-styled pipes feature full-length 222° heat shields. They also deliver significant power gains over stock pipes.
In part, those gains come from the Cobra PowerPort - the proprietary crossover technology that helps to increase overall power from idle to red line, which leads to a deep and aggressive exhaust tone. PowerPort increases power and overall performance by providing superior scavenging of exhaust gases over most standard exhaust systems. The end result is that the Speedster Long exhaust system delivers the kind of power increase you normally experience with a 2-into-1 system while retaining the clean lines of a 2-into-2 pipe.

Purchase Reason
I purchased this piece with other Alice prints for a set as a gift for my husband.
Purchase Reason
I put this framed print above my couch with a similar print called "There Goes Bill" and they look great. I was hesitant to order a print online and especially to have it framed before receiving it. I was very pleasantly suprised when they arrived [...]). I used to work at a custom frame shop and had seen a lot of bad framing come in there. For the price, though, I thought I'd give it a shot. I was impressed. I ordered glass in the frames [...] The print AND framing are very nice. Not quite good frame shop quality but not frame shop price either. It is just how it is represented on the website, including how the picture is layed out within the mat. I looked closely for specks of dust or dirt bits under the glass and didn't see any. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is this: I ordered two similar prints in the same size with the same framing and one of them is a little over 1/8" taller than the other. Not a huge deal but I did have to compensate when hanging them next to each other. I can't really tell when looking at them on the wall now. Also where the two pieces of frame meet in the corners is not filled in with colored wax like some frame shops do. That, too, is not a big deal since they meet very closely with hardly any gaps. Overall I am very pleased and would definitely order prints and framing from art.com again. As for the print "The Walrus and the Carpenter" I can't say enough good things about it. I wanted Alice in Wonderland prints but not from well known scenes such as the mad hatter tea party. I love its character and uniqueness. And I appreciate that I was able to find something by the same artist that was complimentary to it.
Purchase Reason
It was hard to find this print anywhere else but I had to get it custom framed because it was an odd size.

EAST PROVIDENCE – Regrets? Every golfer has some upon the round's conclusion.
The ones that Jamison Randall expressed followed his one-over 70 performance on Day 1 of the Northeast Amateur Invitational didn't equate to the Cumberland lad singing the blues. Had the golf gods been kinder, perhaps Randall's Wednesday score would have been closer to the low number Brazil's Rafael Becker posted – a minus-seven 62 that featured an eye-popping eight birdies.
"I played real solid; it was just one of those rounds that ended up being a 70, but it could have been a 65 or 66 if I got some breaks and some putts fell," Randall expressed. "I got some bad breaks out there, but I'm confident that it'll come around (Thursday) if I hit it the same way."
Competing in his first-ever Northeast, Randall kicked off his round on the 10th hole at Wannamoisett Country Club. He cleared his version of the front nine at even par, mixing in a bogey at the par-three, 211-yard 12th hole with a par on 18, a par-four, 456-yard hole.
"On 12, I left the putt way short, about 10-12 feet," said Randall. "By (holes) 15 and 16, I was adjusting to the speed of the greens. I was also able to figure out my driver midway through the round. Something about my alignment, I was able to fix it.
"That's what it's all about, adjusting."
Randall remained at even par through 13 holes before shooting a five on the par-four, 372-yard fifth. He parred the final four holes to end up as one of 10 golfers to shoot 70, which translates into a pretty congested tie for 16th place.
"I'm really confident," beamed Randall when asked to look ahead to Thursday's 8:08 a.m. tee time. "It's been a while since my game has been this good. Everything is starting to come together. I'm hitting the ball solid and hitting good putts, but they just didn't fall today."
Thanks to Becker, Randall and the rest of the Northeast field has its work cut out. The 22-year-old Becker stands one summer class away from completing his undergraduate requirements at Wichita State, where he captured the individual title at this past April's Missouri Valley Conference Championship.
The only glaring mistake Becker made during an otherwise spotless round came on his 15th hole, the par-four, 437-yard No. 6. A misfire on his tee shot resulted in a tough lie for his second shot. Navigating what he described "a tricky pin," the now former Shocker was more than content to come away with a five.
Prior to that, Becker was humming along at an impressive clip. He birdied seven holes during a 10-hole stretch that saw him score in red figures on holes 1-3. His score stood at minus-eight prior to the hiccup on the fifth.
"I thought the key shot was on (the first hole, a par-four, 430-yarder). I hit a good second shot (and) I probably had eight feet left," Becker shared. "I wanted to keep the ball behind the hole so I could putt more aggressively. My best putt came on three [a par-three, 137-yarder]. I juiced on my nine iron a little bit, but ended up making a 20-footer."
Becker came to Rhode Island following a 15th-place showing last weekend at the Sunnehanna Amateur in Johnstown, Penn. Earlier this year, he shot a final-round 66 to earn a tie for 26th at the Web.com Tour's Brasil Champions.
Like Randall, Becker is experiencing the Northeast grind for the first time.
"Last week at Sunnehanna, I had a little trouble staying in the present, which is key for me. It's going to be key for the whole tournament," said Becker. "I just tried to play safe all day long and make putts."
Becker will take a four-shot lead into Thursday's action. He was also one of 14 players to shoot under par.
Other notables from Wednesday include defending Northeast champ Justin Shin firing a five-over 74. The University of California's Michael Kim, the low amateur at last week's U.S. Open played at Merion outside of Philadelphia, also struggled during his opening round, carding a four-over 73 to finish tied for 54th.
Coventry's Bobby Leopold teed off Wednesday morning and posted the first low number of the day, a three-under 66. He's part of a four-way tie for second place. Former Toll Gate star Brad Valois posted the same score at fellow Rhode Islander Randall while Bryant University head golf coach Charlie Blanchard seeks to rebound following a plus-10 79.

The history of Inglesina began in a curious, original way. Everything started with the passion of the company's founder, Liviano Tomasi, for four wheels and mechanics in general. However, young Tomasi was originally interested in go-karts and in fact he dedicated himself to the tuning and setting up of karts for racing. But it was a short step from engines to babies - first through the production of tricycles - especially with the encouragement of a woman: his wife, Bruna.
So, in December 1963, at first accompanied by his brothers Augusto and Sergio, Liviano Tomasi embarked on what was to prove a far-sighted and courageous business venture: he created L'Inglesina Baby and, with it, the production of the first English-style prams - including the historic "London" - which even today represents one of the inspirations for the unmistakable Inglesina pram style.
The company experienced constant and rapid growth, linked to the visibility the brand gained on the Italian market. For a decade, L'Inglesina Baby's production remained centered on English-style prams but as early as the 1970s it introduced a revolutionary stroller: the "Apollo" (whose name pays homage to the new era of space travel). In the 1980s, and the whole next decade, the company developed a presence in other international markets as well, expanding its product line with articles such as baby seats, car seats and baby slings.
Today L'Inglesina Baby is one of the leading companies on the international scene, specializing in the early infancy sector and a recognized interpreter of the "Made in Italy" style, elegance and quality, serving as its ambassador to more than thirty countries around the world for more than forty years.

Five Photography Tips: Sean Klingelhoefer
Automotive photographer Sean Klingelhoefer is a former mechanic. His deep regard for all things automotive has helped shape his craft, new career, and photographic subject matter. He was kind enough to take the time to participate in our ongoing Five Photography Tips series. Here is his advice on the art and practice.
1. Invest wisely.
One mistake many photographers make is buying copious amounts of cheap gear. While this can be necessary at times, most of you will learn you really do get what you pay for. If you invest in solid gear now, you'll be using it for the rest of your career. It might seem like a lot of money up front, but by the time you replace your broken knock-off gear three times, the good stuff would have already paid for itself. An added bonus is the good stuff, like PocketWizard radios, work every time and often offer substantial freedom (added range, for example) over lesser products.

Prospect Watch: Joe Mahoney
The Orioles have a couple studs at the top of their prospect lists. But the Orioles have a few other intriguing guys in their system as well. Joey Mahoney is a big-framed first basemen that may surprise some people in the future...If he can continue to develop properly.
Mahoney is a left-handed hitter drafted in the 6th round of the 2009 draft out of the University of Richmond. At 6'6'' 240lbs, Mahoney possesses the body type that one would desire at first base. When the Orioles drafted Mahoney, they most likely projected that his big-framed body would offer plenty of power. So far that has not been the case. In five seasons, Mahoney has only 53 HR. That averages out to only 10.6 HR per season. Of course he has only reached 500 plate appearances once in his minor league career, but it shows that the Orioles are still waiting on his power to emerge. However, if you dig deeper into his body of work, you can see that maybe Mahoney IS hitting for enough power.
Here is Mahoney's ISO (Isolated Power= SLG%-Batting Average) over the past 5 seasons:
I only listed stops through the system where he had more than 100 AB. As you can see, there is some fluctuation going on. His ISO has been trending upwards since 2010 though, indicating that he may have taken a step forward. So while his HR's are not exactly showing up, he is still proving to have power. An ISO in the .200's is very good.
Mark Reynolds led the Orioles with an ISO of .262 in 2011. He had 37 HR.
Jose Bautista led the MLB with an ISO of .306 in 2011. He had 43 HR
So maybe Mahoney is beginning to realize his potential in the power category. Of course he still will need to work on producing in other areas, but they have never seemed to have been much of a challenge. He currently has a .276/.332/.443 batting line throughout his five seasons.
His wOBA the past five seasons has been .351, .283, .356, .388, and .370.
His BABIP over the past five seasons has been .315, .278, .348, .355, and .349.
These numbers indicate that Mahoney is putting up viable enough numbers to eventually reach the majors. If you take out his 2008 season, his numbers look exceptional. The only knock is that as a first basemen, power is essential. The ability to hit the ball deep is a factor in moving up. Mahoney may be a sleeper right now in the Orioles system, but one day he could become a major league first basemen.
I like Mahoney a lot, I really hope he can continue his progression this year. Maybe even have a power breakout.

So excited...can't wait to add a little school of ELB. The LFS guy told me that if I just add Seachem Stability I can put the fish in immediately and just at it for 7 days and I won't have any problems with a cycle...why is that big light going off in my head that says "yeah...baloney!"
Posted 28 March 2012 - 04:05 PM
And...we're into the fishless cycle...ammonia was finally .25ppm (I think the plants made it take longer). No NitrItes or nitrAtes yet. Better to do a 3 gallon water change or just let it go on it's own?

If you are entering the fish-less cycle, you do not want to do any water changes to remove the ammonia, you want the ammonia to convert to nitrite. Just keep adding a decent amount of ammonia/ammonia source, you will get a nitrite spike and eventually, when your nitrate spikes, you can do a water change.

If you are planning to breed, I'd suggest getting new stock periodically, at least of one gender or the other. With my guppies I usually don't keep males and females from the same drops, nor do I keep males with their mothers or females with their fathers as a general rule. Sometimes there are a few close relatives in the tank together, but not usually in the next generation. If you are not planning to breed but expect general reproduction, it might not matter as much, since defective fry are less likely to live to adulthood. By the way, the only way to really know who's fry are who's is to remove the mother before she gives birth and keep the fry separate. Even then, you won't know who fathered the drop, unless you put a virgin female with a specific male until she gets pregnant, then keep her separate from the other males until she drops. They can have several drops from the same sperm without mating again, but if you have males and females in the tank together they will usually opt for fresh sperm rather than saving some from a previous insemination. That wording makes it sound as if they are making a conscious choice, which is highly unlikely, of course. I think it is just a matter of fresh sperm winning out if both are present. And you can assume that all of your females are pregnant, unless they've given birth within the past few hours, as long as both genders are in the tank. Also, if you're not deliberately breeding, leaving the fry in the tank will result in many being eaten before they reach adulthood, especially if you feed lightly when you see lots of fry. More will survive with more places to hide, like your big wad of moss. If you want to ensure survival, separate them from the adults as soon as possible - easiest is to separate the mom before she gives birth, then put her back in the adult tank and keep the babies somewhere else.
I can definitely relate to the extra sponges and stuff to slow your current! I've stuck extra floss into all my filters and pieces of sponge under the extra piece of the filter that sits right at the outflow of aqueon/top fin type filters.
You can also try using plants (live or not) as a baffle below the output. I built one for neon tetra tank by sewing a bunch of silk flowers and leaves to a small piece of plastic mesh (about 1.5x3") with nylon thread (fishing line type stuff). I bent the stems out toward the top so that they tops of the flowers and leaves would be directly under the "waterfall" and held them in place with more nylon thread, then attached suction cups to the mesh and attached the suction cups to the back wall under the filter. The tops of the flowers are out of the water most of the time, so the extra pieces of line holding the flowers at a bent angle is out of the way of the fish. The water flows directly into the flowers, and by the time it gets to the water it is much dispersed.
You will also need to cover your intake with some small mesh or something before you have fry, or they'll get sucked up into the filter. I've had this happen with AquaClear, Aqueon, and Top Fin brands, and I assume it could also happen with the Whisper i. I usually wrap a piece of nylon netting around the intake and hold it in place with a rubber band - the size the fish stores use on the fish bags are great for the narrow tube intakes. The whisper will need a bigger rubber band. I also have wrapped java moss around the intake, which also works, but can get dislodged more easily.
edit: I just looked at your post and picture again, and saw that your whisper has the long tube for the intake like aqueon, top fin, and aquaclear, so the little rubber bands from the fish store will be perfect to hold a piece of netting in place. My whisper is is the "i" type, which hangs inside the tank, and the intake is different.

Wow Amethyst...thanks for all the detail!.
The tank has actually changed a bit since the photo. I have already started cycling a second tank for mamas and sectioned off a part for the fry with a divider. Both tanks have the driftwood, java moss, java fern, anubias and vals...but I have since added red foxtail to the one that gets more light and bothe tanks have gotten anacharis and riccia.
We've also decided to put some pygmy corys in the male tank...I already used aqadvisor to check out stocking options. We will go with either hasbrosus or pygmaeus...we weren't as crazy about the hastatus corys.
Lol...I was reluctant to get tanks for anything other than my three betta boys but now my son and I are trying to figure out "where can we put another tank?" Oh boy...
Off to the fridge to get all my boys some live brine shrimp that I picked up yesterday...nothing like having to chase your food first...lol.
