The Sampler Matches have been updated, and we've now returned back to Domination.
This time, you can check out Domination on Overkill, one of our larger arenas that started out popular in Clan Arena. This means large, open rooms, and high degree of vertical gameplay. Perfecting your movement techniques, especially Rocket Jumping are key to reacting quickly to changes in point control. A little breathing room also allows for some grouping up before pushing in, but given the fast pace, you may not want to spend too much time planning.
As always, the Sampler servers are available in limited capacity, so look for matches named "Domination Sampler" and enjoy!

Orioles RP Fastball avg (vFA) in 2011
(these are who I am predicting make the pen)
Lindstrom 96.1
Johnson 95
Simon 94.2
Strop 94.1
Gregg 92.1
Patton 89.3
O'day 83.9 (lol).
That back-end of the bullpen can pack some heat.
Don also noted to me that on a good day Lindstrom can hit 98 and Strop could get up to 97.
Lindstrom/JJ/Strop is a deadly combo in the future in my opinion.

GOUVERNEUR One of the biggest high school band competitions in the north country paraded through the Gouverneur and St. Lawrence County Fair Wednesday on Carlton Peck Day.
The band competition featured marching bands from Ogdensburg Free Academy, Heuvelton Central School, Morristown Central School, Gouverneur Central School, Lisbon Central School and Thousand Islands Central School.
Its the biggest day of the year for the fair and it just brings out big crowds, said Sean A. Peck, competition organizer. With the six bands that are here, its the largest number of bands for any competition this year in Northern New York.
Mr. Peck said the annual event began 49 years ago with his father, former Gouverneur resident Carlton Peck.
There were no awards in Northern New York for bands, so he started it and now there are competitions all over Northern New York because of what he started, his son said.
Sean Peck organized the parade this year because his father has been sick. Three judges from the Northern New York Parade Judges Association accompanied Carlton Peck at the judging table.
The 16 awards representing different aspects of each band are named after members of the Peck family.
Erica L. Chase, a senior from Ogdensburg, plays the trumpet for her schools band and had two solos in the performance.
Its about the music and everyone having a good time, she said. Its a competition, but its all about the fun of the competition.
For most of the schools, this was the final competition event of their season.
This is kind of the summation of our season, said Glenn Roberts, Canton, director of Lisbon Centrals band. Its the final time that we see everybody together in competition.
Mr. Roberts said hes been directing the band in Lisbon for 12 years and that they are celebrating their 10 year anniversary of competing.
Its been a great season so far, so we hope to just go out, do our best show and see what happens, he said.
Richard E. Patton is the band instructor for Morristown Central. He said that although the school has a smaller group of students, their 39 member band is loud and proud.
He said this competition is one of the most important events of the year because they get to watch the other bands perform.
When were in a parade rally, nobody gets to see each others show, Mr. Patton said.
Sydney K. Sargent, a 10th grader from Heuvelton Central School, also was excited for the opportunity to watch her competition perform.
Weve seen bits and pieces of other performances but never the whole show, she said.
Miss Sargent is a baton twirler in the 68-student band.
Were just excited, she said. We want to go out there and give the crowd a good show and feed off of their energy so we can perform to the best of our ability.
Kathy J. Wiley, band director for Thousand Islands Central School, said her instrumental band has more than 40 students.
We like this parade, she said. I know that the kids really enjoy it and its nice to be able to perform for the other bands as well.
Joanne McCarthy stood in the stands watching three of her children Katie B., 14, Jenny L., 12, and Michael A., 9 perform in the Thousand Islands band.
Two carry the flag and one plays the flute, she said. Its exciting to see them out there.

WATERMARKS WILL NOT APPEAR ON PRINTS. My twin loves of photography and travel emerged early in life. I remember being enchanted by rare trips to an airport to meet an arriving flight, and equally enchanted by a train trip on the California Zephyr from Denver to Salt Lake City. Clearly, I wanted to go places! On these trips I had my trusty Kodak Instamatic camera, with those funky flash cubes! But almost as soon as I could, I was out traveling on my own! Luckily this coincided with an interest in 35 mm photography which I learned on my own and from friends. I can remember taking dozens of rolls of film on every trip...black and white and color in every ISO I thought I'd need! Fast forward to 2008 after multiple academic...

Bake the scones
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottoms of two 12-by-18-inch sheet pans with parchment paper.
Combine the buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and whisk by hand until well mixed.
Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Add the sugar, salt and orange zest. Beat on low speed until combined.
Carefully add the cold butter and beat on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Switch the mixer to low speed. Add the liquid mixture and beat until just combined.
Turn the mixer off. Add the cranberries and chocolate. Pulse until just incorporated. Do not over-mix.
Turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface, and press it into a flat square about .75 inch thick. Cut into 2-inch squares and place onto the prepared pans, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Brush the surface with heavy whipping cream. Bake on the middle shelves of the oven until the tops are golden and have a little spring when pressed with a fingertip, about 20 minutes.
Serve warm or let cool on the pans on wire racks.
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 extra-large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, preferably Madagascar Bourbon or Tahitian
5 tablespoons granulated cane sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon orange zest, about 2 oranges
1/2 cup unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
1/3 cup 65% chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (used for brushing tops of scones)

|Avery Developer Responds to Criticism
|Written by Steve Frank/Annie Rutenberg
|Wednesday, 08 May 2013 13:34
Responding to criticism from an open session of the Avery Board of Commissioners, Avery Economic Development Director Bret Gardella issued a letter to commission chair Ken Poteat, a letter that fully addresses all the criticisms of commissioner Reo Griffith. Gardella said, "I have no personal attacks against
those who have chosen to defame me and instead will tell you the truth and actual facts of the work that we've been doing in the Economic Development Office for Avery County." He went on to detail increases granted his department, travel expenses, marketing strategies that were addressed, and concluded by saying, "I've personally approached Mr. Griffith on 4 occasions over the last 10 months to set up a meeting to discuss what we're doing and have been rebuffed. I'm also aware that other commissioners have approached him to visit with me but he refuses. Gardella's letter is posted in its entirety below:

In October 2009 the Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park opened as a legacy project of the Hudson Fulton Champlain Quadricentennial. The park provides access to the Hudson River's breathtaking landscape for pedestrians, hikers, joggers, bicyclists, and people with disabilities. The bridge deck stands 212 feet above the river's surface and is 6,768 feet (1.28 miles) long, making it the longest, elevated pedestrian bridge in the world.
The Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge was built in the late 19th century to link New York and New England to an extensive, nationwide railway network. For decades, it was a major rail corridor for both freight and passengers.
After a fire in 1974, the bridge was abandoned and sat for decades as an orphaned relic. This brand new park was made possible due to the unwavering commitment of the community, who, through a non-profit organization called Walkway Over the Hudson, forged a public private partnership involving the State of New York, the federal government, neighboring municipalities, private corporations and other not for profit groups. The amazing result of this wonderful partnership is a brand new state park, now open for all to enjoy.
New! Ride the glass evelator up to the park or down to the Poughkeepsie waterfront. Along the way, be treated to great views of the surrounding scenery and the structure of the bridge. The elevator is located at Upper Landing Park, a short walk from the Poughkeepsie Train Station. Call (845) 834-3641 to check the operating schedule of the elevator. Please Note: The Walkway over the Hudson State Historic Park waterfront elevator undergoes regularly scheduled maintenance and may be taken out of service periodically. The Walkway itself remains open during any elevator scheduled maintenance.
The park offers interpretive signs and a Talkway Over the Walkway cell phone tour.Reminders:
There are two entrances to the park, one on either side of the Hudson River each with their own unique approach:
East side of the River (Dutchess County) 61 Parker Avenue Poughkeepsie, NY 12601
Directions:By train: Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park is located just 4 blocks north of the Metro North and Amtrak station in Poughkeepsie. By car: take Route 9 to Route 9G north (Marist Drive). Bear right onto Washington Street. Proceed on Washington Street for 0.5 miles. Turn left on Route 9G/Parker Avenue. Walkway's parking lot is on the left side.
West side of the River (Ulster County) 87 Haviland Rd. Highland, NY 12528Directions:Located just north of the Mid-Hudson Bridge Take NY 218/Route 9W to Haviland Road. Accessible parking (permit only) is provided in a small parking lot (on left, approx. 0.5 miles). All other parking is along the north side Haviland Road.
Don't miss these popular destinations and attractions within or near this historic park!
Household pets only; must be on a leash not more than 6 feet long.

WLC's defense of genocide is an excellent modern example of the capability of religion to prompt good people to do terrible things. It is also an excellent counterexample to the claim that there exists objective morality, as resistance to the slaughter of innocents is usually right up there among the morals that people claim are universal.

Exactly Shygetz! As I just argued, where is the evidence for such a claim?

Uh, yeah -- when your views require you to defend genocide, you should probably go back and tinker with your premises.

Avalos has clearly stated that he wants to eliminated religion from human life. (Fighting Words, p.359-360)
The officially atheistic government of the deceased Soviet Union tried to do that for over 70 years, with the most advanced methods available. You name it, they did it.
Not only did they fail, they destroyed themselves. Avalos will fail too. Neither he, no you or your gang, can possibly destroy Christianity. If you devote your life to that goal, you will be wasting it.
Anyone can join Christ at any time, whatever their record. Human organizations are not so forgiving.

Did Avalos say that he was willing to kill people to do it? No. So not only is it a tu quoque fallacy, but a false one at that. Nice!
It is my personal goal to eliminate Flat Earthism from the world. Am I now genocidal?
The officially atheistic government of the deceased Soviet Union tried to do that for over 70 years, with the most advanced methods available. You name it, they did it.
You should sue your history teacher. The Soviets did not try to systematically stamp out all religion; they actively used the Church when it suited their goals, and persecuted it when they felt that it challenged their power.
If you read this site more, you'd have noticed that we are under no illusions that we will destroy Christianity. However, I hope to get the US where Europe is now before I die; to the point where religion does not play a huge role in public life, and lack of religion doesn't automatically disqualify you from politics.
Anyone can join Christ at any time, whatever their record.
And you think that this speaks highly of your religion?
Human organizations are not so forgiving.
Tell you what, you keep your genocidal apologists. I'll happily be more selective with my membership.

Even if Christianity endures till the end of humanity, endurance is not proof that Christianity is true. And other religions, including rival Christianities, will probably endure, as well as agnostics and atheists when humanity bites the dust.
The question of this particular blog entry is the relativity of biblical ethics, which is raised very well in the article by the philosophy prof. Barnhart, who also cites C. S. Lewis on such matters. Lewis comes down against the Bible being inspired cover to cover, and opts for a relative Bible rather than relative ethics.

Reading William Lane Craig's response and Wes' counter-response, I'm just amazed that someone with his (Craig's) intelligence and academic standing can think that any of the reasons he's given are acceptable.
We're only offended by God's actions because our moral sensibilities have been shaped by Judaeo-Christian morality??
Killing children is actually OK because "they inherit eternal life" ??
I mean, come on!!! What is wrong with apologists that they can offer trash like this uncritically and in all seriousness? It seems to me that their mindset is that as long as Christians can see that a question has been answered, no matter how badly, that's the end of their responsibility.
Wes' response is great, but I don't see Craig linking to it. Most Christians will read Craig's answers, accept them uncritically, thinking that someone with Craig's calibre must have a good argument.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just disgusted that this sort of rubbish is considered acceptable for anyone with as much respectability as Craig.

Just recently, Abraham Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation
League, came under fire for opposing a U.S. bill that defines the
massacre of Armenians as genocide. He had said, "The Turks and
Armenians need to revisit their past. The Jewish community shouldn't
be the arbiter of that history. And I don't think the U.S. Congress
should be the arbiter either."
The systematic extermination of a racial, ethnic, or religious
group seems horrible. Indeed, the massacres of the Armenians were an
evil act, as was the Holocaust.
But is genocide wrong under ALL circumstances? Let us take a look
at the Word of God.
1 Samuel 15:1-3 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to
anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore
hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. Thus saith the
LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid
wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite
Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not;
but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel
and ass.
What the LORD wad commanding is clearly genocide. In fact, God
rejected Saul from being king because of Saul's failure to carry out
this genocide.
1 Samuel 15:18-19
And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly
destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they
be consumed.
Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst
fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
If genocide is evil under ALL circumstances, then you have God
ordering an evil act - a contradiction. Therefore, one must conclude
that there are certain situations, such as following a divine command,
which justify genocide.
Many people would be uncomfortable with this fact. But we are
called to trust in God, to put our faith in Him. Indeed, the Bible is
clear what happens to those who rebel against God.
Revelations 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book
of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelations 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
God's Way is the only way.

Wrong. There is one more plausible conclusion. The Biblical God is contradictory in nature, and therefore one of two conclusions follow: 1) God does not exist, or 2) God never ordered genocide and the Bible is in error when it says he did.

"But is genocide wrong under ALL circumstances?"
If you in all seriousness see a need to ask that question, then your concept of morality is already warped too far to engage in any debate on to any credible extent.

We read from the Bible that God, in fact, ordered genocide.
God never ordered genocide and the Bible is in error when it says he did.
God has not made a public statement to correct this "error", even during His Incarnation as Jesus.
We can only go on what we heard about God, and since we know that God ordered genocide, we know that there is at least one situation (divine command) where genocide is a moral mandate.
This may make you feel uncomfortable. But the Bible is clear as to what happens to those who rebel against God.

You have to hand it to Michael Ejercito- unlike Craig, who spins a silver cloud out of hot air for the skewered Amalekite babies, Michael at least has the cojones to say it like it is: if God commands genocide, then genocide it is, and it is good. Defending some genocidal acts as divinely mandated puts Michael in good company:
Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.
-Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
Of course, just agreeing with Hitler about something does not mean that someone is wrong, or evil. But if someone thinks that genocide is necessary if commanded by God, and moreover thinks that God speaks to him, then I will take care to keep myself and my family far away from him.

Hey Ya'll!! My name is Suselis. I am 24yrs old, married to a Soldier and we have an amazing almost 2yr old son. We are avid dog lovers and throughout the both of us we've had just about every dog out there but we've always had that soft spot for pitties. We recently rescued our first pittie from a really bad neglect situation and will be possibly adopting a beautiful what I was told is a "red devil pit" girl today but from the looks we think she's just a red fawn but it all depends on how the introduction goes so I wont talk about her just yet
Diesel - 1yr old
We technically rescued him but he in fact rescued us. We are absolutely in love with this beautiful blue boy. His previous owner would leave him locked up in his kennel for as long as 2-3 days or he would leave him outside without any shelter, food or water the most recent incident being 2 weeks and that's when my best friend called to ask if we would be willing to adopt him if they could convince his owner to give him up. After about a month of going back and forth with his previous owner he finally allowed us to adopt him. About 2 days after adopting him we noticed he was limping on one leg, when we took him into the doctor to get checked we found out he needed patellar luxation repair in both legs but needed it more so on the leg he was limping on at the current time. Well 3 weeks after surgery here is our beautiful and happy boy. He is still having a hard time kennel training and being let outside without us going out with him but we are working on it, can you blame him for always being alone or locked up? Love our boy <3
We have 3 other dogs and 1 kitten who thinks he's a dog:
Charlie (pekepoo, 5yrs on May 5th)
Laylah (siberian husky, 3yrs on July 4th) & Bella (golden retirever, 2yrs on September 17th)
Sheldon (siamese lynx point mix, 6mo (guesstimate from the vet)
I pride myself in being the "animal nut" that all of my friends come to with questions or concerns but even I don't have all of the answers so I love joining forums and learning new things. My other interests include playing video games, watching movies, hanging out with the pups, cooking and eating .
Looking forward to being an active part of the forum and learning lots!

In what activists called a victory for common-sense gun control reform, South Dakota became the first state since the massacre in a Newtown "gun-free zone" to adopt a law explicitly allowing trained teachers to carry weapons at school. Experts and supporters said the new law will help protect children and school staff in the state from potential mass-murderers. Gun rights activists, meanwhile, hope the measure signals a trend toward reasonable laws, as opposed to the wild assaults on the Second Amendment being sought by Obama and his allies.
South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard, a Republican, signed the bill into law on March 8, earning widespread praise from across the country. While the governor said he did not think many schools would take advantage of the option to allow specially trained teachers or volunteers to be armed, he was quoted in media reports saying it was important that the choice be available. The law will go into effect July 1 of this year.
"I think it does provide the same safety precautions that a citizen expects when a law enforcement officer enters onto a premises," Gov. Daugaard told the New York Times, referring to the myriad safeguards in the new law aimed at ensuring proper training for armed teachers and other personnel. The governor also said that the new measures were more restrictive than those in other states that already allow guns in schools.
The South Dakota law states: "Any school board may create, establish, and supervise the arming of school employees, hired security personnel, or volunteers in such manner and according to such protocols as the board may believe to be most likely to secure or enhance the deterrence of physical threat and defense of the school, its students, its staff, and members of the public on the school premises against violent attack." Personnel authorized to carry firearms on campus are to be known as "school sentinels," according to the legislation.

|Robinson, McCune Silence Unaka Offense
|Written by Staff Reports
|Friday, 17 June 2011 07:14
Kim Robinson and Michala McCune turned in a dominant performance Thursday night in Elizabethon, TN, as they combine for 23 strikeouts and only give up 1 hit in a double-header sweep.Kim Robinson struck out 11 batters and fired a no-hitter to get the night started for the Blast as they prevailed 3-2 in game one. Robinson was in total control of the game, but fell victimized by a lead-off walk and 2 errors in the 5th inning that allowed 2 unearned runs to score.
"Kim did a great job on the mound tonight," said Watauga coach Jerry Moretzt. "She hit a rough stretch in the 5th inning but I was proud of how she worked through it."
After the walk and 2 errors, Robinson struck out 2 and induced a groundball to Allison Townsend to close out the fifth. Offensively, the Blast (3-1) had three runs across In the 3rd inning. Following a groundout by Elizabeth Dollar, Allison Townsend singled to left field and moved to second on groundout by Hope LaPointe. Townsend scored on a 2 out double to deep center field by Kim Robinson.
The Blast took a 2-0 lead in to the top of the 5th. Robinson and Shelby Winebarger both walked to start the inning, putting runners at first and second. Miriska Watts hit a shot to deep short and the shortstop couldn't make a play, loading the bases. Robinson scored on a wild pitch and Kylie McCoury, who was running for Winebarger, moved to 3rd. With 2 outs, Hallie Leonard singled to left to score McCoury, giving the Blast a 3-0 lead.
"With the exception of the errors, Coach Isaacs and I were proud of the way we played in the first game," Moretz said. "The kids had to work out of some tough situations against a good team."
In game 2, it was all about the arm of Michala McCune. She struckout 12 of the 17 batters she faced and gave up only 1 hit in the 4-0 victory. During one stretch of the game, she actually struckout 9 batters in a row. The only hit she gave up came in the seventh inning. But despite losing her no-hit bid, McCune rebounded and struck out the last two batters she faced to end the game.
"Michala was a lot of fun to watch pitch tonight," Moretz said. "She really hit her spots well and her riseball was a thing of beauty."
The Blast got all the offense they would need in the first inning. Elizabeth Dollar led off with a single, followed by a bunt single by Townsend and another single by LaPointe. Dollar was thrown out at home on a grounder by Robinson. With the bases loaded and one out, Winebarger walked, scoring Townsend for a 1-0 lead. McCune was hit by a pitch scoring LaPointe; and Robinson scored on a ground out by Rachel Cox. The 3-0 lead was more than McCune would need.
The Blast added another run in the 4th. Robinson led off with a double and she eventually scored on a passed ball to give the Blast a 4-0 advantage.
"Michala and Kim were really on to say the least," Moretz said. "It is fun as a coach when you have 2 pitchers that are in the zone and you know you can call any pitch for a strike. Unaka is a really good team and the scouting report we had was that they were a good contact hitting team. Our game plan was to give them a steady diet of riseballs and dropballs and see what happened. Fortunately, it worked out."
The Blast will not play again until July 12th against Greenville. The game was moved from next Tuesday due to a scheduling conflict for Greenville. The Blast are now 3-1.
"This time off will be good," Moretz said. "It'll give us time to work out some kinks and hopefully, sure our defense and start hitting the ball like we are capable. Plus, the players need some time to enjoy their summer."

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
The underground rescue effort at Crandall Canyon has been suspended indefinitely following a fatal collapse on Aug. 16. The collapse claimed three lives and injured six rescue workers.
Drilling activity has continued. But following the breakthrough of a fourth hole on Aug. 18, United States Mine Safety and Health officials reported that oxygen levels were not sufficient to sustain human life.
On Aug. 19, UtahAmerican and Murray Energy representatives indicated that hope is waning and, while teams have started drilling a fifth hole, the rescue effort could be coming to an end.
"It's likely that these miners may not be found," stated Rob Moore, vice president of Murray Energy during a Sunday press conference.
The families of the six trapped miners approached the media later on Sunday and voiced disappointment with the rescue efforts.
In a press statement, Sonny Olsen expressed the families' desire for drilling a hole large enough to send a rescue capsule down into the mine.
"We feel that they have given up," stated Olsen, who represented the miner's families.
"This is a devastating blow in what has already been a tragic situation," pointed out Price Mayor Joe Piccolo during an press conference at Castleview Hospital on Aug. 16. "But I can tell you that the mood within that hospital is a hopeful one. There are families in there praying for their fathers and brothers. If they can stay hopeful, then so can we."
Castleview received six of the injured rescue workers. One victim was pronounced dead at the Price hospital and one injured rescuer was airlifted to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. Three miners were treated and released, according to Castleview Chief Executive Officer Jeff Manley.
The second fatality was later confirmed by representatives at Utah Valley medical facility.
Manley was the first official to speak with the media last Thursday night. While the chief executive explained that Castleview personnel train for mining emergencies, Manley indicated the more serious head trauma cases would be flown to Utah Valley or the University of Utah's medical treatment facility.
The three deceased rescuers have been identified as MSHA roof control specialist Gary Jensen and Castle Country coal miners Brandon Kimber and Dale Black.
Several Utah officials indicated that they did not think tunneling should continue unless the rescuers' safety can be bolstered.
Gov. Jon Huntsman pointed out that, while continuing the underground tunneling is up to MSHA, he would not like to watch the effort continue unless the federal agency can ensure it can be done safely.
In addition, Huntsman said a state sanctioned investigation will parallel the federal inquiry into the disaster.
The toll of this second collapse has exacerbated the emotional state of many residents within the Castle Valley community.
"I hate it. It's so scary to send my husband to work everyday since the collapse," said Marcia Hunt. "It is the most stressful thing I have ever gone through, but what can I do? It's his job and, besides that, he really cares about those six trapped men. He wants to do everything he can to help."
Gabe Hunt is an employee of UtahAmerican at the company's Westridge facility and lives in East Carbon City. He has worked several shifts at the Crandall Canyon mine, providing support since the rescue effort began.
Gabe Hunt was also in the mine at the time of the second collapse.
"When I heard of the mine collapse last night, I had a full-blown panic attack," said Marcia Hunt during an interview Friday. "I knew he was in the mine, but I had no idea whether or not he was one of the injured miners. He couldn't get a hold of me until almost 10 p.m."
According to the young wife, Gabe Hunt was in the section where miners were rock-cropping approximately 2,000 feet away from where the collapse occurred. She reported that he felt the mine "bounce."
The bounce is being called a 1.6 seismographic event by seismologists at the University of Utah. MSHA official Richard Stickler has confirmed 23 "mountain bumps" since the Aug. 6 event which registered 3.9 on the Richter scale.
Due to the continuing seismic activity, Stickler has stated that the existing conditions are too dangerous to send rescuers into Crandall Canyon coal mine.

whats U-verse? is it a channel? is this on normal TV?
Wow, that's thrilling. I've been waiting for what seems like an eternity to see the new W&G film.
Also, Katie, I know that this is unrelated, but I need HELP!
I just tried posting a review I wrote a while back for the American DVD release of "Wallace & Gromit in Three Amazing Adventures", but I keep receiving a message that says...
"This is a family friendly web site, please do not swear"
I don't understand why I continue to receive this message because I know that there's no profanity or offensive content in the review. I've already posted it on two other sites and they found nothing objectionable in it, so what could be causing this?
When will it be on DVD?
That's what I want to know too. I'm not such abig fan of watching things on-line or through pay-per-view, so buying it on DVD is my best opportunity to see it. Besides, it's W&G, so it'll be worth the money.
Me to
U-verse is AT&T's subscription TV service, it's basically like Cable or Satellite, but it comes into your home via the phone line. Not yet available in a great many places. So, NO, this is not normal TV, nor a channel you can receive, unless you are a U-verse subscriber. Sorry.
Great!..one step closer to the DVD release.
Me to
Well U-verse is a pricey subscription TV service - a bit out of my league at least. I guess I'll continue to wait for the US version of the DVD.
I think A LOT of people are going to be disappointed about this U-verse thing. I never even heard of it!! ... Not really fair, but oh well. We waited this long ...
How long do you think before it is out on DVD?
I wan't it on DVD too
Why can't we get it! That is SOOOO not fair! I wish that we could all see it whatever it is! What is it anyways? A movie, a short clip, what? Will it come out on DVD? WHAT IS IT???!!!!!!
That the availability of "Loaf and Death" will be limited to subscribers to AT&T's television service is most disappointing. Only a very small percentage of devoted W&G fans in the States will be able to see it. If it was thought that releasing it in this manner would make us happy, whoever came up with this scheme is sadly mistaken. I'm a DirecTV subscriber and will not change providers to watch just one program (and that's assuming AT&T is available in my area). I hope that it will be released on DVD soon!
it's a short like A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, and A Close Shave.
As a loyal, DVD-purchasing, movie-attending U.S. W&G fan for many years, I find this inaccessible U.S. "premiere" disappointing and insulting. I'm sorry, my friends, but this is no way to treat your family across the pond.
Because of my love for Aardman I have steadfastly refused to get this film in pirated form or even watch illicit versions on YouTube, but I have to admit that this ill-conceived marketing plan is making my scruples increasingly difficult to maintain. Can you at least tell us when the DVD will be available?
i'm british,but i find this insulting that you guys in the States don't get to see it. it should've been broadcast and relleased on DVD other there at the same time as it was over here. it's really unfair for you guys.
I expect the first US screening went to the highest bidder (possibly I don't know!),
Sadly in this world it can be down to money to a certain degree!
If the people at Aardman could do it for just the love of it I'm sure they would
I hope all US fans of W&G get to see the latest instalment very soon
Aardman are always considering exciting new ways to broadcast their productions and the unique opportunity with AT&T was something they really wanted to get involved with. Fans without AT&T won't have too long to wait though, the DVD is due for release this Autumn/Fall.
I am not insulted. I love W&G and Aardman and I know this was not purposeful on their part. There is no offense intended, so let's not make things worse by taking offense. Eventually, we who live in America will get to see AMLAD.
Kate thanks for the update.
I hope my other post didn't come over as a dig at Aardmans
Fish it will be worth the wait
You can't keep all of the people happy all of the time!.........But it would be nice if you could
Thanks for the info katie!
thank you! I can't wait for the dvd release even if it is almost a year late.
What if you don't have U-Verse TV?
Then where, or when, can you watch it?
We might not have U-Verse until the summer's over...none of us will get to see it...but on DVD we will!
I watched it on TV at Christmas when I was back in the UK, and it was great! It's a pain that US viewers have had to wait so long, but it is worth the wait.
Amazon.com just sent me a link to preorder AMOLAD!!!! *JOY* It won't be too long now!
Andreally cute
I went to MSN.com and went to videos. I watches the full episode of wallace & gromit a matter of loaf and death. Amazon.com is selling it for pre- order SINCE MAY 23!!! So you can buy it NOW! Also Target.com is selling it. AND yes, you guys have been waiting for a long time, but all you needed to know was that it was released from preorder may 23. So go on, HAVE A CRACKING TIME!!!!!!
If you can't wait for the USA release, you can always get a "region-free" dvd player. They cost about the same as the "regular" ones. Do an online search if you're interested. The region-free player is a must-have for UK music fans also!
yes amazon.com is saying you can buy it now!!!!! it may take 1 to 3 weeks to ship, but this is so awesome! Heres the link: http://www.amazon.com/Wallace-Gromit-Matter-Loaf-Death/dp/B001OC6RZA/ref=pd_sim_d_2
Yeah - that is where I ordered it! They sent me a note to tell me it would be arriving in a few weeks!

What do you think of the tsunami and earthquake in Japan? I thought it was devastating.
If I could I would probably head over there myself and help out. But unfortunately, I can't because I am not old enough.
The nuclear power plant was also devastating because they all have to wear breathing masks to avoid nuclear radiation in their body. That is sad. Because that causes cancer and there are a lot of people in Japan, so the risk is high.
I hope it'll soon be helped with an that the damage can be undone.

The Dodgers have claimed outfielder Matt Angle off of waivers, Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com tweets. The Orioles designated Angle for assignment to create roster space for Luis Ayala approximately two weeks ago.
Angle debuted with the 2011 Orioles, playing all three outfield positions, and posting a .559 OPS in 95 plate appearances. The 26-year-old spent most of the season at Triple-A, where he posted a .271/.347/.344 line in 489 plate appearances. He hit his first big league home run off of Justin Verlander in Detroit as the right-hander attempted to win his 25th game of the season.
I wish we would have been able to hold on to him. I was really disappointed when then designated him for assignment. I felt there were others that we could have chosen before him.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
propellor hat approved
Nice technical rig tuning post.
Just to clarify a few basic engineering principles.
Engineering strain is dimensionless. So multiply by length to calculate actual stretch to achieve a certain preload.
Strain is for the elastic range of the material. Cross sectional area or wire diameter is not a factor.
Preload by strain is the most accurate and repeatable method of tensioning (preloading). We also use it for bolts, pin joints etc.
The whole purpose of preload is to avoid unloading the rigging under any conditions. You want the minimum preload your rig can accept. Any more is just compression loading the mast and lowers the buckling stability of the mast.
Ideally you want to know how much your rig will move under all conditions. This is impractical to do on an actual vessel. So rules of thumb apply with caution.
|Nice, marking
OK, I have done some homework. I have read and then skimmed these posts, learned a couple of new words and will be able to impress my big boat friends. I just bought, however, a sweet little 10' dinghy in an auction. It is not a Minto. It is fiberglas with teak trim. When I unwrapped the wood mast and sail I found a gaff rig. I then noticed a number of brass (bronze) rings, jam cleats and holes scattered throughout. I have found a drawing of a gaff rigged larger dinghy on the internet, but I cannot tell some of the drawn lines are edges or lines (for attaching things). Does anyone know of a source of a rigging diagram for one or more of these boats?
I shall send a photo of the boat when I have cleaned it, oiled it, etc. I would also like to know who built it and its name if any. I heard a rumor during the auction that it was built in England.
|#1 thing for EVERY tool box is a roll of duct tape. There are few things that this stuff can't fix or help fix. Just wish I had invented it!!!
Hey everyone. I'm new here (as I'm sure you can tell). As we are talking gear, what tools do you think makeup the perfect small toolbox? What tools do you rely on more than others?
I have several tool boxes for sailing, packed full of random things, so i thought it would be good to see what is absolutley essential.
What a great Sticky.
Just wanted to add a tool that I recently picked up from Lowes. I havent tested it yet but as per the original post stating the importance of a level boat to start with I think this might help and actually picked it up prior to reading this.
It is a Ball level. If you are not on level ground you can figure and mark the level horizontaly then compensate for vertical and even check the degree of angle on the rigging from port to starboard and make certain they are equal .
How to Center your Rig
Here is a link to UK-Halsey's video on centering the mast. it makes good, simple sense to me.
How to Center your Rig:
Login - UK-Halsey Sailmakers
nice topic and great info...
i race in one design keel boats some of the time. rig tune is paramount to sucess. so i thought i would chime in a few fine points for those looking for them (like the comment on how to tune your rig for 20 knots).
sailboats have generally two modes upwind. seeking more power, and seeking less power, with a small happy medium in there. there are of course things we do with strings to help with this, however, mast tune is more significant, that is like a coarse adjustment, the strings we pull the fine adjustments.
i would also side with the disclaimers that have been mentioned, but you may want to consider going too much with an adjustment. that is go too far, far enough that you will know it is too far (performance will suffer). then you will know it is somewhere between those values (of too little/too much).
all of this is for uphill travel...
mast position in the boat (fore and aft) is critical. every boat is different in this regard. talk to other people with your boat and see what they have found out. with the butt, partners and forestay length you can control mast rake. if you have too much weather helm with mast rake right, the mast needs to move forward. not enough, mast needs to move aft. this is assuming your are trimming everything right. highier winds we use less rake, that is we shorten the forestay for the same butt position. other boats move the butt around. both work, but forestay length changes other things as well, and i think is generally easier. i don't know the math on degrees, as we measure the forestay length for the adjustment, but i would suspect we vary the rake by several degrees.
optimizing for light air. forstay sag is good in light air as you are trying for max power. you can try the same on the luff of your main by letting it sag off. how much, well you can try too much and then tighten up from there. too much sag will break/bend your mast. don't send me the bill. i would think somewhere around one to one and half mast diameters would be ok. this is what we use. as the wind builds and the boat is not needing as much power you can bring the mast in line. you do this by adjusting the lower/intermediate shrouds.
for high winds, the opposite is true. you will want no forestay sag (impossible), shorter forestay, less rake (butt aft, wedge partners forward). you will want your mast straight side to side, with more prebend. ideally, you will want the top of the mast to fall off some. fractional rigs do this better.
you can adjust some of this with a backstay adjuster, but really you need to get up there and adjust your forestay length/butt/parnter position to optimize your boat for any particular windspeed. most people in crusing, even racing boats will not play with there upper/intermediates/lowers at all. they have a set it and forget it attitude, especially with discontinous rigs. there is nothing wrong with that, in fact a lot of sense. tune for midrange and use other adjustments to keep the boat on its feet/use the engine if there is not enough wind.
downhill is different of course and mast tune is not as critical. you will want to undo as much rake and prebend as possible with your set up. having the mast tilt forward is best. you cannot do this with spartite, but you can with removable fore and aft wedges.
best of luck...
Ok...I just said to my wife, "You know, I think I can fix this rigging myself..." We had an after shroud break on the delivery along with a fore stay. The release in the tension caused the mast to shift now it leaks at the deck into the head.
The boat is a gaff rigged ketch and I am calling a rigger...HA Thank you for the info, I am not a moron, but this is beyond my current skill level.
Along this line but different. The tang fitting, the fitting that accepts the
marina fork at the mast, how much movement should it have?

Former Yankee Jerry Coleman dies at 89
Jerry Coleman, who played nine seasons wit the Yankees, passed away at the age of 89.
Coleman hit .263 with a .340 OBP from 1949 through 1957, and was named an All-Star in 1950.
He later went on to a very long career as a broadcaster for the San Diego Padres.
"My family was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jerry Coleman," Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement. "First and foremost, he was an American hero whose service to this country is his lasting legacy. He was also a great Yankee, a true ambassador for Baseball, and someone whose imprint on our game will be felt for generations. On behalf of the entire New York Yankees organization, we send our deepest condolences to the Coleman family."
Coleman lost three years of baseball due to his service as a Marine Corps. pilot.
