Food & Beverage Options:
Basseterre Sightseeing & Shopping
Basseterre is as authentic a city as you will find in the Caribbean, easily accessible to tourists but not yet a "Disney-fied" tourist destination. The best way to visit is on foot – start your walking tour at the Circus, the bustling town center with the much-photographed Berkeley Memorial at its heart. There's a Caribelle Batik store (see below) on the Circus; stop inn at the Ballahoo Restaurant (upstairs), with great views of the town. Small shops line Fort Street and Cayon Street, including Kalabash, known for -- of all things -- its cheesecakes. Be sure to visit Independence Square, the town green lined with historic Georgian homes and public buildings.
Caribelle Batik Factory
Romney Manor, home to the Caribelle Batik Factory, is one of the most beautiful spots on St. Kitts. Artisans use hot wax and dye to create distinctive and colorful batik fabrics and patterns, most commonly for dresses and shirts but also for pillow covers, scarves, wall hangings, and more. Every visit to the shop starts with a batik demonstration; visitors are then welcome to wander the store and grounds, which includes the ruins of a historic sugar plantation and paths to a nearby rain forest. Just outside the gates you'll find pre-Columbian petroglyphs left by the Carib indians.
St. Kitts Scenic Railway… a.k.a. "The Cane Train"
The St. Kitts Scenic Railway, a.k.a. "The Cane Train," is a great way to take in the scenic beauty of St. Kitts while experiencing a little history, as well. Up until very recently, sugar was king in St. Kitts, and many parts of the island are still planted with shimmering fields of sugar cane. The Scenic Railway operates over narrow-gauge tracks once used to move the cane from the fields to processing plants in Basseterre. You'll sit in covered, open-sided cars for the tour, which includes passages over skinny bridges, vistas of ocean and rain forest, and brief sprints through small towns – a great way to discover the island in general!
Brimstone Hill Fortress
Towering above the St. Kitts coastline is the massive Brimstone Hill Fortress, built by the English to defend the island against French attack in the 18th century. The complex, especially the central Fort George, is remarkably well-preserved and gives visitors a real sense of what garrison life was like for the soldiers, family members, and slaves who lived in the citadel and beyond. The views from atop the fortress -- a UNESCO World Heritage site -- are outstanding. A museum includes a short film, and visitors can explore intact officer's quarters and even a vintage (and still functional) indoor latrine!
Day Trip to Nevis
Just 2.5 miles off the southeastern tip of St. Kitts is the sister island of Nevis, which can be reached via a 45-minute ferry ride from Basseterre to Charlestown. Nevis is a destination in its own right, but day-trippers can still enjoy nature hikes, the lush botanical gardens, and the reconstructed Herbert's Heights village with its spectacular views from atop Nevis Peak. Nevis also is home to a number of historic homes -- in Charlestown and beyond -- some fascinating museums, and is a history buff's delight with its many ruins and sights related to Lord Horatio Nelson, who married here.
Scuba Diving & Snorkeling
St. Kitts' clear waters offer a fantastic chance for scuba divers or snorkelers of all levels to experience the reefs and marine life in the waters. Dive in off the beach or take a boat to a secluded cove – the underwater vistas are all breathtakingly beautiful! More experienced divers will want to make sure to visit shipwrecks like the River Taw, which Skin Diver Magazine has called one of the best in the Caribbean, to be explored!

Vegetation Control Services
Get a Grip on Weeds!
Nobody likes the problem of weeds. Unwanted vegetation growth on your property is unsightly, can create a fire hazard and is unsanitary. Weeds detract from property image and value and can provide habitat for other pests such as rodents that invade homes and businesses.
WeedOut® Program
The WeedOut® Program is designed to control all non-turf weeds on the property on a season long basis. This program generally begins in the fall and gets those nasty weed problems before they germinate.
Areas controlled include:
- Shrub and landscape beds
- Sidewalk and driveway cracks
- Gravel driveways
- Fence lines and building perimeter
Roundup® Pre-plant Vegetation Control
Non-selective control of all foliated weeds prior to planting turf, gardens, or landscapes. This treatment does not affect soil and planting is possible within a few days after treatment.
Bareground Vegetation Control
Long term residual control of weeds for areas where no growth of any kind is wanted. Best for industrial, gravel parking, and building perimeters. This treatment cannot be applied near tree and shrub roots or where water runoff may carry the product off target.
Whatever the weed problem, our weed control specialist will likely have a solution. At LawnTech, we know weeds and how to control them.

A blissful reward that's meant to be a punishment. Possibly the most stupid punishment a school can impose. It is a period of time when an offending kid is not allowed to return to their for seriously breaking rules. Most kids get excluded because school is the last place on Earth they want to be. So they get what they want in the end.
Cassie was given an 8-day exclusion for bunking off, so she smiled, relaxed, and enjoyed the freedom.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
I'm reserving my judgement on the Nassib pick until I see the kid on the field. I didn't watch him play much in college. He will have one of the best QB's in the league to learn from, he should be fine. Carr still looks rattled in the pocket from his time with the Texans
Mind you, you were more than confident that Carr could take over for an injured Eli and the beat would go on, and now you are just as confident that a guy who has never taken a snap in the pros could do it.
Why if I didn't know any better, I would say it seems like you are desperate to believe that Eli could easily be replaced.
Every single day I log onto this message board thinking i've seen it all, every single day I am wrong...NYGiants2120
in theory you guys are correct, no idea if he can beat out Carr yet, but from what I saw and Gather , he is younger and may not have that oline panic Carr has. like i said we will see.
to be fair i dont think pugs will start at Tackle day one., so i see where you are coming from
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l

If you've been online for a while you'll probably be familiar with ebooks. In our industry, ebooks generally cover 'How To' and 'Business Strategy' type subjects and vary in quality from downright poor (not even good enough to give away for free), to Pulitzer prize level, excellent (or at least helpful and informative enough to justify the price tag).
But now ebooks have come of age -
allowing YOU to cash in BIG TIME.
Make no mistake, when ebooks were introduced around the end of the last century, (Wow that makes me feel old), they were a revolution... Hundreds of early adopters began to sell their information without high costs or traditional publishing distribution channels - And even established authors, like Stephen King, dipped their toes into the ebook waters.
But the 'pioneers' faced BIG PROBLEMS
Because - whilst there were great advantages for the authors of these downloadable digital books... such as: no need to print vast numbers of books before starting to sell... no need for a warehouse to hold the books... no packing and shipping costs etc. - it wasn't ideal for the customer.
True, they could avoid a trip to a bookstore or a wait for the mailman to deliver their books. Instead, they could see a book online, buy it and read it minutes later - Instant Gratification!
But it wasn't all fine and dandy... Because you either had to read the book on the computer at home or in the office, or you had to print the book out yourself (okay for a short 'How To' book, but ridiculously expensive for a whole novel).
But NOW - not only
have all the barriers been
blown away it gets even better...
Because a quantum leap in ebook publishing has been brought about by Amazon.com - the world's largest online retailer and online bookstore, with their revolutionary book-sized Kindle reader.
At a stroke, this gives massive benefits to both customer and author.
The customer benefits from the convenience of being able to read ebooks anywhere and without ever having to worry about printing and binding up countless sheets of paper.
And the author benefits even more:
The sheer convenience a Kindle customer enjoys encourages them to buy more and more ebooks (ebook sales overtook Amazon's conventional book sales back in June 2010).
The convenience of Kindle means that all types of books ranging from 'How To' books to full novels are now in high demand.
Amazon's world wide reach that instantly provides a multi-billion potential readership that, previously, ebook authors could only dream of.
And there's another key advantage for any budding ebook author...
There's no need to jump through
to become an international author
With the ever-rising costs of book printing and distribution, traditional publishers have increasingly played it safe and only published books from either established authors or by people already well known to the public. That way, their famous name on the cover of a (often ghost-written) book would guarantee a safe level of sales.
As a result it's almost impossible for an unknown author to be accepted by a traditional publisher. But now the tables have been turned and it's...
Time for traditional publishers to eat crow
Amanda Hocking is that $2,000,000 author I mentioned at the top of this page... And she wasted years trying to get a traditional publisher to take her seriously.
They're taking her VERY seriously now...
Because between April 2010 and March 2011, she made TWO MILLION DOLLARS in Kindle book sales via Amazon.com.
By early 2011, she was selling an
average of 9,000 books A DAY.
What's more, with Amazon paying up to 70% in royalties (compared with the miserly royalties paid by traditional publishers) - Amanda has enjoyed a far larger share of the riches than if she had been published the 'old fashioned' way!
Apart from avoiding the obvious negatives of traditional publishing, Kindle publishing also offers:
Lightening fast publication and rock bottom costs (even a child could use their system).
A HUGE range of apps allowing books to be viewed on virtually any mobile device.
Amazon's battle-hardened, seamless distribution system.
Amazon's web site, which is a masterclass in marketing perfection.
Amazon's reputation as one of the most trusted brands (you benefit by association)
So just imagine if you too knew how to find your way around Amazon's instant publishing arm. What would you do with a couple of million dollars amassed in one short year?
... or even a million?
... or even 'just' $500,000?
Just imagine being able to finally kiss goodbye for good to your financial worries. Never again having to wince when you fill up your car with gas or open that bill from the utility company.
And, imagine being able to buy the car of your dreams. What will it be? A Hummer? A Porsche? Or, perhaps, you'd prefer to be cosseted in the unashamed luxury of a S Class Mercedes Benz? Either way, you'll be guaranteed to turn heads as you glide by.
But, what ever you choose you can do more than just imagine...
Because I have the full inside track for you on publishing your very own book on Amazon Kindle.

stress-free Kindle publishing...

DM403, Reviewed October 1993
Study committees can generate considerable enthusiasm with recommendations that will help solve the community's problems. They can develop a "group spirit" that carries over into the community. This "group togetherness" is greatly influenced by methods study committees use.
While there is no one way of achieving a "group spirit," there are known factors that influence its development.
A study committee working within a community will give time and effort to their assignment when:
When these conditions exist and remain foremost, continuation of the effort is usually assured.
Institutions or organizations appointing study committees need to make purpose and goals clear to committee members. They may undergo change during the search and discovery process, but newly created goals and purposes need constant clarification to the committee and parent body.
When members are chosen or accepted as volunteers, the basis for continued membership on the committee is linked with their:
Once the "group" begins to form, members develop expectations and move toward becoming a working team.
There is considerable value in constant membership in the group. New members being added or old ones dropping out affect the group's psychological and sociological structure. Members get to know each other, develop positive attitudes, and build a trust relationship that affects the group's communication and productivity. Even when there is diverse opinion on an issue, there exists an "open climate" that permits exploration and a movement toward consensus.
Time and active participation are essentials for group development. Such group development can be observed by behavioral changes in the group. Five stages are apparent:
Members may be at different stages at any one time, or the group may waver between stages before it jointly accepts its responsibility in the interdependence stage.
The leader's role in a study group is difficult. Most individuals who have chaired a committee have prior experience in a controlled or directed method.
The chairman who begins to switch his or her role from a control position to that of a group leader must unlearn this procedure. The switch can pose a real threat to the leader's ego and status. However, if other committee members are to be involved they must accept as much responsibility as the chairman.
Changes that take place in beliefs, values and attitudes are internal. A group can assist in making changes in which they have mutually shared the responsibility in creating a decision. In this type of exploration, a sense of cohesiveness and cooperation can be developed.
A working relationship within the committee can be facilitated by the chairman. This is done by the chairman's methods. The leader who is interested in developing people by increasing their ability to direct their own affairs by increasing effective decision making and maximizing personal development will recognize the self-esteem and dignity of each committee member.
The participative chairman will encourage the committee to:
Inter-group relationships are affected by a number of factors:
Learning and change are not a result of a single activity. Beliefs are tied together in a constellation or system of beliefs and balanced by the individual to make sense. Beliefs are related to past experience. When a part of an individual's belief system is distorted, the individual makes internal readjustments to maintain his balance of beliefs. Beliefs, attitudes and values are under constant revision to give life a wholeness. Psychological adjustments and readjustments must be done by the individual. They cannot be forced.
Changes in norms, sentiments, customs and other sociological elements can take place as a result of discussion between individuals in groups. The chances for psychological and sociological changes are enhanced in a non-threatening climate in small groups.
Individuals may attempt to convey messages explicitly by using words, gestures and other observable means, but they also use an implied language. Feelings are often communicated through the implied.
Discussion and feedback in a warm, permissive, trustful climate improve communication. The interacting process improves understanding and the possibility for change.
Study of issues play a vital role in intelligent community decision making. However, beliefs, attitudes and values may block out "facts" and information.
The psychological, or inner, structure of individuals can be changed only when people want to change them. Community norms, sentiments and customs may be impediments to individual change.
Changes on the thinking level (belief level) seem to be facilitated greatly in a small group in which the "group climate" is developed through a working, interacting situation.
The real road blocks to community development may be in the human relations areas. But the real potentials for community development can also be found in these areas.

Hide lines
That is right boys and girls. I have definitely gained weight. And I have enjoyed every minute of it. Can we just talk about the food on this ship for a second? First of all they thrust meal after meal in your face. It's as if you just finished eating and they are giving you more food. Add to that the fact that there is so much variety... I just get anxiety attacks thinking about it. How can I choose between the filet mignon and the lobster tail?! It just isn't fair. Anyway, what I am trying to get across here is that there is a lot, A LOT of food on this ship, and it has been a nice break from the constant baguette and kebab
The food isn't the only thing to rave about. The ship itself, the activities, and the staff are all amazing. You never want for anything. It's like living in a 5-star hotel...that moves. There are tons of shows, from magic shows to cabaret, classes on how to make a good martini or how to create towel animals. Honestly, I don't know when they expect you to sleep on this ship. Between the shore excursions, the eating, and the activities, you are lucky if you get a 15 minute nap. And did I mention how awesome the staff is? Because they are amazing. Actually, I'm on a first name basis with a few of the waitors and cooks. Yeah, that's right. Most of them are from the Phillipines and they are all so much fun and so helpful. Quite honestly, I am now planning a trip to the Phillipines because of how wonderful the staff has been. Talk about the happiest, funniest group of people.
That's pretty much a run down of what life has been like these past few days: AKA HEAVEN! Oh yeah, the excursions! Honestly there has not been enough time in most of our ports of call. But I guess that's what is to be expected when you are on a cruise
PS: I can still fit in my pants, so that is a relief...
PPS: I'm sorry for any misspelled words...this internet sucks, did I mention that?

What kind of music do you guys listen to? Also, do you play any instruments?
What kind of music do you guys listen to? Also, do you play any instruments?
Mood: WOOF!
I listen primarily to reggae, punk, surf rock, hip hop, dancehall, and classic rock. I'm also big into mid century MoTown/R&B stuff like Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye,and the Temptations. Chuck Berry is also one of my heroes. I don't listen to any current modern music for the most part.

Application for Part 1 of California's State Stabilization FundsApproved Today
April 17, 2009
Contact: Sandra Abrevaya, (202) 641-4320
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced that nearly $4 billion is now available for California under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. This funding will lay the foundation for a generation of education reform and help save hundreds of thousands of teaching jobs at risk of state and local budget cuts. California will be eligible to apply for another $2 billion this fall. Today's funding is being made available per California's successful completion of Part 1 of the State Stabilization Application, which was made available April 1. California is the first state to be approved for the first round of state stabilization funding.
"The $4 billion that California will receive today is part of the single largest boost in education funding in recent history," Duncan said. "The President's leadership and support from Congress have made this historic investment possible. California can now utilize these funds to save jobs and lay the groundwork for a generation of education reform."
To date, California has received nearly $1.3 billion in education stimulus funds-- representing a combination of funding for Title I, IDEA, Vocational Rehabilitation Grants, Independent Living Grants, Impact Aid dollars and Homeless Education Grants. On April 1, California received more than $562 million in Title I funding and more than $660 million in IDEA funding. This represents 50 percent of the funding for Title I and IDEA funding that California is eligible for in total. On April 1, California also received more than $28 million in Vocational Rehab funds and more than $5 million in Independent Living funds. One April 10, California received nearly $1.5 million in Impact Aid Funding and nearly $14 million in Homeless Education grants.
In order to receive today's funds, California provided assurances that they will collect, publish, analyze and act on basic information regarding the quality of classroom teachers, annual student improvements, college readiness, the effectiveness of state standards and assessments, progress on removing charter caps, and interventions in turning around underperforming schools.
California also is required by the U.S. Department of Education to report the number of jobs saved through Recovery Act funding, the amount of state and local tax increases averted and how funds are being used.

Movie: Untraceable
Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) is a single mom and an investigator for the FBI's Internet Crimes division. When she's called upon to solve the agency's most grisly case ever — that of a serial killer who slowly murders his victims based on the number of visitors to a website —. little does she suspect that she has a personal connection with the psycho. Now she must find out what secret connection she shares with the madman before he can kill his next victim.
Official site with a cheesy game (notice the background of the OS), trailer, Ask an FBI Agent, etc:
Once you bring down the server (not hard to do), then we get to see some Linux shots. The site also has some other info about cyber crimes.
Does this seem like a must see, wait for video or skip it? Good or bad, I always like to go see these movies to see how accurate they are. Strange how we techies do that. I've asked lawyers and doctors, and they don't watch movies or tv about their professions. We can't seem to get enough.
Oh well. If you're interested, it opens Jan. 25, 2008.

DRC is more comfortable in man coverage, as is Prince and just about everyone in our secondary. They all prefer to play physical and get their hands on receivers to disrupt their timing at the LOS. They players have echoed this for years but Fewell continues to have them sit off with soft coverage.
Webster was a better press corner and I believe the players even questioned the scheme at times with all of the zone.
No doubt the Cromartie signing has to have Fewell thinking about adjusting his coverages. He's a physical presence on the outside. Now we have two physical outside corners(yes, Prince is physical) along with Thurmond in the slot. That's a very physical group and I hope Perry is advantageous this season and utilizes his personnel accordingly.
I have mixed feelings about Fewell. One game he can call an ABSOLUTE masterful gem(Packers, Patriots in Foxboro to name a few).... just outright genius schemes... and then the next game you're left shaking your head in disbelief. I was one of his biggest supporters the minute he was hired as our new DC. It seemed he got more out of his lack of talent in Buffalo then he has with our defense at times which is always baffling.
Out secondary should no doubt be a position of strength for us this season. I hope Fewell is licking his chops with all of his toys.

^Better than that percent
Quote from: Joab on November 14, 2011, 12:00:28 PMWhy is everyone thinking Jeremy and Sandy is in the final three? I don't know about the others but I've been suspecting for some time since an eyewitness posted here in RFF that she saw in Atlanta a team with cameras and the team was a man and a girl. The only two teams that she could be referring is E/C or J/S. But wouldn't she have said an Asian girl if it was Cindy?Anyway it's a 50-50 chance!
That photo looks like Atlanta. However its an old photo.

SciCon Vortex Roller 2 Saddlebag - $49.95
There are days when rides turn into an exercise in managing chaos; everything that can go wrong with a bike, save broken frame tubes, goes wrong. With the SciCon Vortex Roller 2 Saddlebag, you can fit a multi-tool, tube, and mini inflator like the Innovations Ultraflate Plus -- so you're prepared for the most common roadside fixes. What SciCon's saddlebags are noted for is their retention systems. They do not use hook-and-loop straps. If you recall the original Roller System (now Roller 1), you start with a plastic cleat that secures to seat rails with the twist of a knob. Then you install the bag by matching the cleat with the opening in the binding mount. And give it a 1/4 turn. The Roller 2 takes that same idea and adds two tire levers to the design. There's one mount for a tire lever outside the bag, and a mount for a tire lever inside the bag. To make sure the lever slots work, SciCon includes the levers. Building the two levers into the design frees up space in the bag, so you can fit more into it. The bag itself uses a mix of materials; the side panels are a carbon fiber weave and the main panels are Cordura. Because the bag doesn't have a strap underneath it to help hold the shape, there's an ABS body structure inside. This way it has some structure and shape whether the bag is empty, partially-loaded, or packed to the gills. Reflective piping runs along the seam between the carbon fiber and Cordura panels and there is reflective tape alongside the zipper as well as on the bottom to add low light safety. It has just a simple single cavity with a compression strap to hold things in place so stuff won't bounce around the inside. The Sci'Con Vortex Roller 2 saddlebag comes in Black Cordura with Black carbon fiber panels. Bag geometry is 8x6.5x14cm making the volume 480 cubic centimeters (29.29 cubic inches). - $49.95

I'm a little behind at posting. Nate and I both have been battling horrible head colds which means we've spent a lot of time on the couch watching House of Cards.
Last Monday, we both felt it was necessary to get the sickness out of our house so we deep cleaned. Perhaps a little much for two cold suffers to undertake, but we did it anyway.
First order of business was removing all the furniture in the great room. It was our first official sunny weekend so we took full advantage of putting all the furniture on the porch.
Nate subtly piled up all the clutter that I've been avoiding (holiday decor, goodwill items, glass jars) so I had to finally put it all away. Smart man as it forced me to take care of all of it before I could do anything else.
Then we swept up an embarrassing amount of dust bunnies and even an old Halloween candy wrapper off the floor.
With a much-needed mopping, the great room was ready to put back together.
But first, Nate tackled the windows and got rid of the grime and Pixel footprints so we could really enjoy the sunlight pouring in.
My plan was to clean and then do a little rug switcheroo. The sisal rug in the dining area moved to the back of the great room. Then Nate's old office rug was moving into the dining area and our two faux Persians were both moving in front of the couch.
I deep cleaned our rugs with the help of my trusty SpotBot. I've had this little machine for over a year now and I still love it. This was my largest cleaning project to date with it. I cleaned all four rugs on 1/2 a bottle so the machine is pretty economical.
Of course the smaller machine meant adding cleaner and changing out the dirty water about five times per rug. So if that seems like a pain, you may prefer using a larger machine for a job like this.
Each rug took about a half hour to clean. The SpotBot vacuum does a good job removing most of the liquid so the rugs were dry to touch within 15 minutes.
We decided to double our two 5×7 rugs in front of the couch to define the space better. Plus more rug means less of the old linoleum which is an added bonus.
I like this bigger sized rug so much, that I am added this 8×10 Tuscan Terali Moroccan Trellis Rug to my wish list. I think a big shock of navy would look great in the room with the purple walls.
When the rugs were in, we set up rest of the furniture. I am so happy with the sisal rug in the back.
Here's a close up of the sisal under the white table. I am now thinking I want to get some new dining chairs. The old country chairs are classic and all, but takes away from the modern vibe of my refinished table.
I love the look and durability of the Emeco Navy Chair, but don't think I am shelling out $470 a chair anytime soon. So we will keep looking for a replacement on our budget.
Nate and I were both so happy to have the room clean I vowed to do a weekly floor cleaning to keep the look up. I have no idea how often you should deep clean rugs, but I think moving forward I am going to try to do it a couple of times a year. It's inexpensive since we have the SpotBot and seeing the amount of gunk that was cleaned out of the rug, I think it is well worth the time and effort.
I'd love to hear from others about their rug cleaning habits. Do you deep clean your rugs or do feel vacuuming is enough?
Disclaimer: I bought the SpotBot with my own hard-earned money and have not been compensated for my opinion of it. This post includes an affiliate link to Amazon if you are interested in purchasing one for your very own.

E3, LOS ANGELES May 18, 2005 Capcom® today announced Legend of Kay™ for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Legend of Kay is a spirited action adventure game starring a courageous feline hero named Kay on a challenging quest to save his village from a menacing army of gorillas and rats. The game captures the essence of martial arts style movies as players master acrobatic kung fu moves, wield mighty weapons and deliver powerful magic attacks. The fast-paced gameplay, incredible graphics, and entertaining characters come together in an engaging story that will entertain gamers of all ages. Developed by Neon Studios, and published by JoWooD Productions Software AG in Europe, Capcom plans to publish Legend of Kay for North America this summer.
For generations, a settlement of peaceful cats has lived on the mythical island of Yenching, alongside many other animals. The harmony is disrupted when Shun, the power hungry king of the mighty gorillas, sends his army and their new rat allies to take over and enslave everyone in the land. Kay, a martial arts apprentice who diligently studies with his wise master at the town's dojo, must put his training to the test and face the adventure of a lifetime as he travels across the island to save his beloved village. Though Kay is a young cat, he is brave beyond his years and possesses great fighting skills. Armed with his trusty sword and fierce determination, he sets forth on a dangerous mission to save all cat-kind.
Legend of Kay features a flurry of action that recreates the feel of classic martial arts movies. Players must master an advanced close combat fighting system that is an explosive mix of kung fu moves and weapon attacks. Kay has more than 40 unique moves and can execute spectacular combos such as double and triple blows, back flips, somersaults, powerful magic attacks and more with the press of a few buttons. The battles will not be so easy however, as the onslaught of enemies that Kay must face are also armed with weapons and clever moves of their own.
Legend of Kay includes the following features:
Charismatic cast of characters:
Kay – a fearless young orphan who spends most of his time in the martial arts school training with his mentor, "Master"
Su Ling – Kay's best friend and fellow feline who trains alongside him as the Master's only students
Master – a seemingly old fox who guides Kay and Su Ling in their training; many years ago, he was the most skilled fighter on all of Yenching and he uses his quick wit and experience to stun his enemies
Emperor Shun – the king of an evil gorilla army who has partnered with the Clan of Rats to take over the island of Yenching
Tak – this devious king of the rats had been exiled from Yenching long ago but has joined forces with Shun's armies in order to return and carry out a fiendish plan
• Beautifully detailed and varied environments – an adrenaline packed ride through dark forests, dusty swamps, foreboding canyons, a burning volcano and more
• Thrilling and varied gameplay – experience the excitement of racing around diverse terrains on the backs of wild animals, fighting against your enemies as you ride on a dragon, slide down cableways over gaping abysses and much more
• Nearly 20 different enemy types – electrifying battles against a wide range of enemies including giant turtles, wild boars, devious rats and gargantuan bosses!
• More than 40 unique moves – a variety of close combat and powerful magic attacks along with a strategic combo system results in a myriad of combat possibilities!
• 3 main weapons each with multiple upgrades:
Sword – the perfect all-round weapon which comes in handy in virtually any situation
Hammer – though slower and heavier than the sword, it's able to unleash a ton of power
Claws – lightweight and super fast, these dole out large amounts of damage, especially to unarmed enemies
• Amazing graphical effects, fluid animations and dazzling special effects result in an unbelievably detailed, colorful and atmospheric world
• Controllable camera allows you to survey your surroundings
• Unlockables and extras – hidden weapons, extra challenges, art, music and more

I first developed the idea of Breath of God when reading up on pheromones. I discovered that many attractive scents actually contain pheromones similar to our own. For example, the composition of incense materials are actually similar to that of human breath. So, when incense is burning in a church, temple or wherever else, it's like a sweet, ethereal breath flowing through the congregation. I found this fascinating and on my subsequent travels through China and Tibet, I was inspired by the heavy use of incense.
From yak butter candles and sandalwood incense in the temples to the juniper branches burned on the hillsides. When I returned from travelling, I began making two fragrances. One was rich in wood-smoke, heavy with amber and sandalwood inside the temples. The other fresh, clean like the air whistling across the nomadic grasslands. When both of these fragrances were finished, I realized that the first was heavily masculine, woody and resinous; the other took crisp cucumber notes mixed with neroli and bergamot and was altogether more feminine.
I decided to chance mixing the two to see if they blended and the result was Breath of God, a balance of masculine and feminine. A short while after it was released, Breath of God received a wonderful review in Perfumes: The Guide of which I was very proud hence the 5 stars! I hope you all enjoy!

Here are my fabrics. They aren't in any special order at this point. I need to eliminate one of them. Right now I am pretty sure I am going to take the last one out. Looking forward to starting.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Here are my fabrics. They aren't in any special order at this point. I need to eliminate one of them. Right now I am pretty sure I am going to take the last one out. Looking forward to starting.
I have had my fabs picked out and kept forgetting to post! So just before I sign off tonite (this morning 12:33am) I am going to post my fabs..Judy what do you think? I've done all the mysteries except the last one, have the instructions, may do it someday....but love the other ones. I love tablerunners..
Looking forward to next step.
Jean can I steal your green fabric? that is great! and the gold dots? I want to steal that one too. who makes the green one? I think its perfect for so many projects I can think of.. that is stuff I could look at over and over and never get tired of. very pretty runner you will have. lots of pretty runners I think will show up. yeah I wouldt want to cut up the one posted first with big people like not cutting off heads or anything (bad plan) but most of these would be ok cut up even birthday one but maybe that could be saved for the backing. I assume the fabric included backing when it was posted?? or that is one big runner. so bigger patterns then could be used for the back if need be and well.. Judy usually doesnt give it all a way in the first instructions for cutting so at that point one could decide which is the focal fabric. unless she mixes it up so much we are cutting binding first lol. good question though Judy are the fabrics for the front only or for the whole project? because my minds eye was picking from my groups the backing out of them each time.. I flip mine all the time.. so if not I need to go pick backing too. nah I have about 2 yrds of most of each of them. oodles of fabric.
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
see if you have paint app. you can downsize anything in there. I don't know squat about phones. Mine's so old that all I do is call in a bamergency if needed. Retta from warming, slowly, Florida
meanmom, I love the colors in the first four. Oksewnsew, those are going to be gorgeous together. Like Linda, I like the green and the shimmery gold. My Christmas fabrics are extremely dated so I haven't considered them. The tiny holly on white type of thing from the early 90s.
Elisabrat, I recently got the green at Hancock fabrics, for another project but didn't use it...If you can't find it, I would be glad to see if we still have it here and send you some. The 'gold' pc is by Robert Kaufman, Fusions #6582, but it's 'old'...I couldn't find it online but RK has come out with lots more Fusions that have the similar look. Glad you liked my choices. Thanks for all comments..
Sew Hugs
. Love the green & gold fabric posted by Jean,so pretty. Now to see if this will fly.Keeps telling me message is too short.What 's that about ?
while we await the next step, let's indulge in a dessert bar
we need hamantaschen, Irish soda bread, chocolate painted matzoh, Italian Easter bread and peeps!!
Dotty in NYC
Yes, peeps! But I like mine a little aged, they must be nice and chewy. Would anyone like some Welsh cookies, sour cherry or the traditional current?

In Master Dogen's Shobogenzo Genjo-Koan.we find:
To study the Buddha way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things. When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away. No trace of realization remains, and this no trace continues endlessly.
"The place where everything is dropped, the action-non action of dropping things and self away, is what the 8th picture is about. All things go through that motion and dance, the dance of impermanence, forms have to go through that gateless gate where all reference points vanish to arise again. To truly and absolutely meet a tree, a flower, a friend, a sound, you have to go through the process where you forget totally anything about what is a tree, a flower, a friend or a sound. Otherwise, you would only meet dusty labels, names, memories, beliefs.""Dropping body-mind, forgetting the self is the roundness of the moon, this fully ripe moon which is also the true face of sitting. No trace of realization to be found there, for you are sitting as the very moonlight. The light doesn't see itself. But indeed, the light is seen all around, endlessly shining in countless things."

Arriving back in New Zealand feels like landing in Middle-earth for Royd Tolkien.
As a 9-year-old reading his great-grandfather's novels, Mr Tolkien never knew a country "so perfect" to resemble the landscapes depicted in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
He landed in Wellington yesterday with four dwarfs and a wizard, some of the last cast members to arrive in the capital ahead of The Hobbit's world premiere tonight.
Director Sir Peter Jackson walked a black carpet on the tarmac of Wellington Airport to pose for photos with 17 of the film's cast and crew.
Mr Tolkien, who joined the cast yesterday on a special Air New Zealand flight from Auckland, said he always enjoyed returning to the adopted home of hobbits.
"I think [New Zealand] is such a perfect match for it [the books]. The idea of having something so perfect as a country ... for me, the landscape plays an important part in [the films]," Royd said during the flight.
"It kind of rekindles that magic I had back when I was 9 when I read [the books]. It's a perfect match."
Royd says his great-grandfather J.R.R. Tolkien never visited New Zealand.
Mr Tolkien says he is "uber excited" about the new film - and the subsequent post-celebration.
"[In] the Lord of the Rings there was obviously just the one dwarf in that, so for me the hobbits were the ones that partied the hardest back then [at the premieres]," Royd said.
"But there's a few more dwarfs now, so I think they're going to let their hair down, let their beards down a bit, go a bit nuts."
Graham McTavish, who plays the dwarf Dwalin, said the Hobbit-hype in New Zealand was "wonderful".
"It's been very touching," McTavish said. "I've never seen anything like it and I don't think I ever will again."
Sir Peter filmed most of the event with his iPhone as he led cast and crew down the black carpet.
* Visit nzherald.co.nz later today for full coverage of The Hobbit red carpet and premiere. Live updates will begin at 12pm and a live stream of all the action will start at 3:50pm.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by RS12, Apr 28, 2012.
Thought they were going Leary in 7th, now maybe a special teamer.
The last four picks are all guys that will need to make an impact on special teams to stick.
Joe Adams still there?
Long gone. RR back on cam.
no he is loooong gong
Can't miss him!
I think the only flashy or speedy returner left is Owusu from stanford but he has concussion history
He is just checking the buffet table before he leaves in case anything is left.
It isn't cool to talk about a guy's gong.
Alfonso Dennard is still there. I know he has character concerns but maybe they would take a flier on him with a 7th.
The CB Leonard Johnson from Iowa State is still there and it was reported that Rob Loved him.
Not related to Rob or Defense but Jeff Fuller is still out there and I think the cowboys were interested in him at one time.
Bang a gong, get it on, Adams is gone:laugh1:
That song was going through my head too.
We are so sick.
Even if its a big gong?
Been a long draft...with some whiners providing humor.
That would happen even if we got every guy they wanted.

I sold a hive to just such a person this spring. He called me all summer to get me to come look at it. I had been telling him all that time to check to see if it needed feeding since we had a record drought. By the time I made it over, the hive was a lost cause with 2 deep supers of empty combs and a single seem of bees. I recommended he protect the combs until next year, but he's not following through with that either.
Contrast this to another guy I sold a hive to that worked his hive well, got honey, is happy, and will be buying another from me in April.

I need to replace the twist grip 7 speed shifter assy on my Cruiser Style Pacificcycle bike.
Looking at them on EBay I see one Sunrace Triple 7 made for "Compatibility: Shimano 2:1 Ratio Style Rear Derailleurs" and ones made for "one to one ratio deraileurs"
The original shifter was a "TBone" that I couldn't find.
Any suggestions or links as to the correct replacement shifter would be appreciated.

While many New Hampshire-born men and women have achieved greatness, only one has attained the pinnacle of political leadership. From 1853 -1857, Franklin Pierce proudly served as the 14th President of the United States.
More than a century later, a visionary group set out to charter a college uniquely dedicated to preparing future leaders. The name for such an institution was clear to all - Franklin Pierce. The College was chartered by the State Legislature on November 14, 1962. Nearly 45 years later, on July 1, 2007, Franklin Pierce College achieved university status.
The name change to Franklin Pierce University reflected the growth of undergraduate opportunities at the Rindge campus, the addition of graduate-level degrees, including two doctoral programs, and the institution's expanding global reach.
Franklin Pierce University was founded by Frank S. DiPietro who also served as the first president of the institution. Originally located in the center of the town of Rindge, the school began by sharing the town's library and study facilities. In the institution's founding year, Frank DiPietro also bought the hilltop estate overlooking Pearly Pond where the University's main undergraduate campus is located today.
The first class of students enrolled in 1963. This inaugural class consisted of 97 students supported by nine faculty and administrators. As the institution began to expand in size and reputation, Frank DiPietro maintained a vision that "only the small college can provide the intimate relationships between those who learn and those who teach."
In 1965, the state legislature granted the college statutory authority to grant baccalaureate degrees. Since then, Franklin Pierce has grown in breadth and depth of programming. Through the 1990s and early 21st century, Franklin Pierce increased its undergraduate academic offerings. The University now maintains five centers for Graduate and Professional Studies. Degrees are also offered through distance learning.
In recognition of its place in higher education, Franklin Pierce was formally recognized as a university on July 1, 2007.
The beautiful Franklin Pierce University estate was first owned by Captain Asa Brewer in 1854. Oral tradition in Rindge holds the estate was a station of the Underground Railroad for runaway slaves.
In 1902, the estate was bought by George Emory, a wealthy importer of mahogany who built the Manor to entertain guests and the carriage house to stable his prize horses. The Manor, now named Peterson Hall for the institution's second president, houses the President's and Administrative Offices. The carriage house, which is now Clifford Coles Hall (formerly Rindge Hall), houses Admissions and Financial Aid.
In 1924, the estate was sold to Arthur Lowe who turned over the property to the Trustees of the Fitchburg (MA) Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The grassy hill in front of Peterson Hall served as a summer site for scout tents for 17 years.
In 1948, Alma Monaco, a silent-movie actress, bought the estate. The estate changed hands for years until Frank DiPietro bought it in 1962.

text: I would inform, even though I am not required to do so....would do exactly what the first video showed....only because, if I were LE, I'd want to know...just showing some courtesy........ if they want to look around the vehicle, then, that's when things get a little iffy........I would probably consent, reason being, they sometimes start talking about, " If you've got nothing to hide, it will only take a minute." Or, " Well, I can just get the dog team here, and we can do it that way....do you really want to waste our time?" Then, they bring the dog, and it scratches the hell out of your car. So, I probably would just go along with the program, even though I may not like part of that program.

We can find an equally talented WR just as cheap and actually plays special teams. Let him go..
sucks.. I was really excited when NY drafted Barden..... and Beckum looking like 2 busts now
I dont' get why he didn't get more playing time, myself.. Hes made some plays for us , but seems to rarley be out there, and the carolina game meant nothing, becuase he barley seen the field after that.. He made a nice downfield catch against the eagles the following week, and that was basically it?
Of course he'd love to sign with the Giants. They are the ones who overlooked the fact that he was too soft to contribute on special teams and too soft to use that huge frame to his advantage in the passing game (but he sure is tall).
He showed good hands when he got them on the ball but was muscled around by much smaller corner backs. He played way too small for such a tall guy. We can do better in a backup WR.
No one remembers who came in second.
I cant say he "sucks" because you have to actually be on the field to do so. He's not on the field because the coaches felt they had 2 better receivers available for the #3 position in Hixon and Randle and eventually Jernigan.

Hit and Run, Can Anyone Identify this Vehicle?
Original post made by Please Help Us Find the Hit and Run Driver!, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Sep 8, 2009
The parties involved stated they needed to report the accident and this man said that he had $700.00 dollars in his wallet and would pay for the damage but to please not report the accident. When he heard the response that the cost to fix the car would start at least $5,000.00, he jumped in his truck and drove away... but not before some good Samaritans saw him flee and chased him down Bernal and eventually onto South 580 and finally exiting Sunol. This hit and run driver proceeded to throw bags and junk out his truck driving erratically and almost hitting several cars attempting to drive them off the road to thwart the good Samaritans trying to get his license (which they finally did ) and realizing he didn't care if he hurt other drivers in an attempt to get away, they stopped following him. Please help us locate this person. If you see this truck, please report it to the Pleasanton Police ASAP!! License 6F98576.

Simple check from CA smog check history shows that this car never went thorugh smog check, which means one of the following
1. Plates are fake
2. Car never been registered
3. Car is out of state
4. Samaritan did not get the correct license plate

There was no vehicle year stated. All the information could be right and it's just not be in the smog database because it's older than 1975.

Ummmm, the police have access to DMV records. They aren't able to find the registered owner?

In other states you have to have a smog check every year. What's up in CA?

If you or the Police haven't already, you might want to try to find some of the stuff the person threw out of his vehicle while trying to escape. There might be some information or a receipt in there that can help ID him or the places he goes to. Meanwhile I am glad to help by keeping a look out (that's what neighbors in a community do for each other). I will post again to this forum if I happen to see the vehicle.

Did you report this as a hit and run? The police can then pull records.
When in college I had someone rearend my car. I immediately got the vehicle ID number off the dash of their car, make, model and color of the car. The owner gave me a fake ID and the plates were altered but I personally was able to track the car down because I had the ID number and reported it as a hit and run. I used the info the police department supplied me and was able to follow a trail of the sale of the car and eventually found the person who hit me. Boy were they surprised when they got my call and then showed up! Moral of the story - always get a vehicle ID if possible before taking down or exchanging any other info. I also carry my digital camera in my purse on a daily basis which has come in handy and have but a disposable camera in the glove compartment of my kids cars.

If you have the license plate number why not give that info to the police then they can track down the owner? Also, the owner of the BMW should just give that license plate number to their insurance company and they'll track down the owner.
Something about this story seems a bit off.
a resident of Amador Estates
on Sep 11, 2009 at 11:53 am
Now I know why this seems odd to me. If you have the license plate number and gave it to the police they would obviously be able to find the owner so why would you be asking the public to locate this person? Could it be that you don't want to have the police find the person, maybe this is someone you are stalking or trying to harrass, etc.

Did you check the Laguna Vista neighborhood? I might have seen a truck around that looked like that but I can't be sure. If they were on that cross street, chances are they could possibly live in/visit Laguna Vista. There are a bunch of streets and carports to park the truck in. I would take a look in the neighborhood. But call the police if you see the truck instead of approaching the guy! Obviously he doesn't care.
I also witnessed a hit and run and went on a HIGH speed chase to follow the lady, all while on the phone to Pleasanton Police.Our help, and the ability to get his license helped the police find the guy.
EVERYONE should have the number to Pleasanton Police on speed dial. Often when you dial 911, you can't get through until its to late. The NONemergency line is 925-931-5100and if its an EMERGENCY dial 925-373-5400.

It appears others witnessed this event and chased after the guy? Perhaps he was working in the area-should look into anyone who had work done on their property during that time. It would be a very good idea to check the garbage bags for more information. Lic. plates can be switched or manipulated too.If they were able to read the license, they should have been able to see the full plate. Therefore, they should know whether it is a California or out-of-state plate. It does seem odd the police can not track this guy with the information they already have. Collecting the vehicle i.d. was a great suggestion. I will remember that. Often times after experiencing an accident people are in shock. They do not always remember to do all of these things. I am sure the person struck was in shock after watching someone reverse and plow into them in the middle of the day.

How many trucks/drivers, minus the license plate number given, do you suppose there might be in the Tri-Valley/East Bay that fit the description given...
I'm guessing more than one, or two, or three. or ______(You fill in the blank)...
Good luck. I hope you find the guilty party...

Great advice about adding emergency and non-emergency numbers to your cell phone. I double checked the emergency and non-emergency phone numbers with the phonebook and I found that the Emergency number is 925 931-5122 and non-emergency number is 925 931-5100. A previous poster gave a different emergency number and I am not sure if that number is correct. I just had my teen and it to her cell as well, do your loved ones have the number in their phones?

In referencce to the "I wish I had been there to see" thread, and because so many of us go to live competitions whenever possible, I thought some of us die hard competition travellers would share their amazing moments at live events. I'll start with:
Virtue & Moir's debut performance of the Maher FD at Thornhill Summer Skate. The dance we saw that day was a mere outline of the dance that won the OGM in Vancouver, but it was dazzling and mezmerizing all at once. It took our breath away. And we knew. I looked at my friend and he said "Don't say it, don't jinx it". It wasn't seamless. There were a couple of awkward moments, and the Goose Lift lost the jump dismount, but everyone in the audience was so deeply affected by what we had seen.
After Vancouver ended, Bev Smith wrote an article in the Globe and Mail describing that Sunday afternoon and the extraordinary moment we had all shared watching that dance for the first time. Everyone that I have talked to who was there, had the same response.

Well, it's been a while since my last post. I've finally moved to Annecy and I feeling much better.
My current problem is network connection. I can't seem to be able to get a DSL connection installed, so I'm living on my old 28.8 modem, that I'd normally be using as a fax. sigh... Well, things should get sorted out in the next days, I hope. I'm worried since I have some mail on Logilab's network that I can't reach, especially debian related mail, and I heard there are some problems with the packages I maintain.

Fort Independence Reservation Reduces Waste by 26% through Recycling
Fort Independence Indian Reservation in Owens Valley, California has built a successful, nationally recognized solid waste program from the ground up with Tribal leadership and grant support from U.S. EPA Region 9's Office of Pollution Prevention and Solid Waste and the General Assistance Program. With EPA's assistance, Fort Independence pioneered a weekly curbside trash and recycling collection service, developed an environmentally preferable purchasing policy for its tribal offices, produced public service announcements, and created a Solid Waste Ordinance to safeguard the Tribe's natural resources.
The recycling program's remarkable success stems from its innovative recycling incentives and an effective media campaign. The majority of Fort Independence's households participate in the recycling program that collects plastic, aluminum, paper, cardboard, and colored and clear glass. The Tribe invests all profits from the Fort Independence recycling program into a fund that supports community youth projects and raffles to encourage recycling.
"Recycling and the use of renewable sources has always been an integral part of our survival. As we continue to utilize our natural resources, the need for recycling has grown exponentially and the Fort Independence Tribe is committed to promoting this practice through all of its affairs."
To encourage recycling and promote environmental awareness, the Tribal Office of Solid Waste and Fort Independence youth collaborated to develop radio and T.V. public service announcements about recycling, household hazardous waste, and waste collection days.
The outreach drew attention to the benefits of recycling. As of December 2005, the tribe recycled over 9,500 lbs of glass, plastic, and aluminum material! The Tribe also keeps all green waste out of the landfill by chipping and shredding all biodegradable materials for mulch at the Tribe's community garden.
The EPA WasteWise program recognized Fort Independence's creative approach to tribal solid waste issues with a WasteWise Program Champion award in 2004.
The Tribe has now entered into a partnership with the National Park Service at Manzanar to develop a regional recycling center. Groundbreaking for the recycling center will commence in the summer of 2006.

Say what you want about Sasha, as I am not a fan either, BUT at least Sasha doesn't underrotate.
They were better in 2002; stronger and more air; flutz was smaller, her mini-muleick was nonexistent. She had decent technique on flat. On an edge, well, things went downhill IMHO. If she's working with Rafael during the last six months as she said, I'd imagine she might have improved. Sasha was/is talented, there's no joke in that.I think the real statement is that Sasha's jumps WERE better in 2006. I think we will need to wait and see what they're like in 2009 before we comment.
But if you could just show me a skater on a back inside edge, leaning as if he were on a back outside edge, and then jumping I would soften up a bit on this.
The difference between a closer slight inside edge and a severe inside edge is the difference between a good Flip and a poor Flip.
Sasha did flutz and does she anymore? I haven't seen her skate in quite a while. Skaters, imo, who want to be immediate champions do not learn proper technique when they are young. Some have worked on the severe error and have overcome it. We'll see.
Thanks so much for taking my quote out of context.
Last edited by DarkestMoon; 05-10-2009 at 09:48 AM.
You asked what the difference was and i told you. The skaters don't skate to Joe's Rules they skate to the COP which means a slight change of edge will get net them more points than a severe change of edge. I realise that this doesn't mean anything in your black and white world but that's the way it is in the grey!
Thanks for joining us, poloska. Welcome to the forum. Post often, post long!

I don't know where you are interpreting fear in any of my posts. I don't feel any fear at all, i simply disagree with your opinion that a wrong edge take off lutz is a good or correctly executed flip. You never answer any of my salient questions that pick flaws in your theory either so it's clear you won't enter into a debate that questions your opinions.
You asked a question and didn't like the answer. You state your opinion as fact when it isn't.
My opinion = It is a wrong edge take off lutz.
The scoring system currently in place = It is a wrong edge take off lutz.
Your opinion = it is a flip.
Who is right? Does it even matter? This is a sport, the sport has rules. I agree with the rules as far as wrong edge take offs go (i'm sure you won't disappoint by accusing me of being an ISU sympthiser...though now i've mentioned it you porbably won't bother with your usual routine.)
Last edited by antmanb; 05-11-2009 at 09:22 AM.
Personally I think if the jump is a flutz it should be called a flip and if that skater attempts 2 flips and 2 "flutzes" it should go down as 4 flips, only 2 being counted. That may get coaches teaching kids properly!
But as it is, I think -GOE's and "e" calls are the right way to do it since the intent IS to do a lutz(flip), but done improperly, and should be treated as being done incorrectly, not as if done well as a flip(lutz).
In regards to Sasha-I wonder how much reworking any jumps/jump combos Sasha can successfully manage under RA given the time frame. Even if he is THE best jump coach ever, it seems to be expecting a lot that suddenly, Sasha is going to have a 3lutz, 3/3's (especially if she's going for a 3lutz/3toe), let alone any consistency in landing 6-7 triples. It would be different if she was, say, Irina, who had stronger jump technique and success with 3/3's in the past. I think Sasha's axle, loop and salchow have always been pretty solid, but feel she had a flutz, exhibited wobbly edges on flips, and the toes, for whatever reason, gave her trouble. I know she has been dealing with tendonitis as of late, but I would think if she really has been (re)working on technique, she would attempt other triples during the tour, just to get some consistency on them.
