Waterford - There was a time when Waterford coach Rob Von Achen lauded Kerrianne Dugan as having "the best work ethic of any player I've had."
And all you had to do is watch Dugan's New London High School girls' basketball team play Tuesday night - against Waterford - to know why Von Achen's words are truer now more than ever.
"Not at all," Von Achen said, asked if he was surprised to see New London's toughness. "They take after their coach. Kerrianne was that kind of player. Tough. And she's done an absolutely phenomenal job; she's turned the program around."
Dugan, in her first season as New London's coach, turned her homecoming at the Waterford Field House into a 52-35 victory over her alma mater.
Dugan, a 2007 Waterford graduate, was a 1,000-point scorer and all-state player under Von Achen, playing in two state championship games. Her sister, Kelley, is a senior on the Waterford team.
New London, 2-18 a season ago, is now 7-4 overall, one game away from qualifying for the state tournament for the first time since any of the current players have been in high school.
The Whalers last made the tournament in 2009, going 8-52 since that time.
"It's really exciting," said New London junior Lexus Childs-Harris, who led the Whalers with 19 points against Waterford. "After last year being kind of down - and I'm not down on last year - I think the adrenaline just gets to me."
Sophomore guard Deanna McCarvell, who wears the uniform number 1 and is shaped like it, too, pencil-thin, added 17 points for the Whalers, including four 3-pointers.
New London boxed out exceedingly well, scoring five times off of offensive rebounds just in the first quarter to take a 13-6 lead. Childs-Harris and freshman Charee Osborne gave the Whalers a 4-0 lead with two immediate conversions off offensive rebounds.
The Whalers also hit their free throws, going 12-for-18.
"I'm really tough on them. I'll say it," Dugan, who went on to play for Division I Central Connecticut State University, said of her expectations for her new team. "But I try to stay on their level. I try not to be this mean, hard coach.
"I'm extremely lucky. People were saying to me, 'Oh my gosh, you took the New London job.' But I have so much talent. It just needs to be pushed in the right direction. ... It's a blast. It really is."
Von Achen said last year Dugan came to practice a few times to help coach his Waterford players. He could tell then that Dugan would have a rapport with whatever team she eventually coached.
"I wouldn't be surprised in three or four years to see her as an assistant coach at some college," Von Achen said. "She's a great kid."
Kelley Dugan, who missed the first part of the season with a knee injury, was in the starting lineup against the Whalers and shook her sister's hand along with the rest of the Waterford starters. Kerrianne gave her a playful shove.
"It was definitely weird, playing here against coach and my sister," Dugan said. "I think it was the hardest for my parents (John and Julie). You look up at the (conference) championship banner and remember how much fun we had.
"Playing here was the best time of my life, playing basketball with all my best friends and coach."
Sarah Pacheco, a sophomore, was the leading scorer for Waterford with 11. The Lancers, already playing without senior Megan Spellman (knees, out for the season) and freshman Shea Spellman (ankle), lost starting center Julia Zawacki to an ankle injury in the first quarter Tuesday. She was helped off the court.
New London led 27-18 at halftime.

Dear John Perfume
Mark on Dear John:
"Through working on these fragrances I've learnt that perfume communicates far more powerfully than words, and of all the fragrances this talks the loudest. This fragrance smells manly, truly manly, as in a man who cares, looks after those he loves, and has confidence. This was the perfume that gave me the assurance to call myself a perfumer. With a warm citrus splash and strong coffee note, Dear John seems strange and familiar at the same time. With its unique coffee and lime blend it provides a sharp buss at first, which dries into a more subdued warmth. It took several years to perfect, starting life as a simple accord between pine and lime oil, then passing through a period of time as "wake up and smell the coffee" and then with more work suddenly getting personal. I hesitate to mention this but this fragrance has been known to create very powerful emotional responses. You have been warned."

|First period summary: Bruins vs. Sabres – Game 1
|04.15.10 at 7:55 pm ET
Thomas Vanek taught us the first lesson in the first period of the first game in the quarterfinal playoffs series between the Bruins and Sabres — capitalize on all opportunities.
The story lines in this series are inevitably going to be about tip-ins and deflections and superb goaltending between Ryan Miller and Tuukka Rask. But Vanek, the best pure goal-scorer in the series, showed that the Sabres will not always have to rely on the dirty goals to put points on the board.
Sabres' center and leading point scorer Derek Roy won the puck coming out of Buffalo's defensive zone and started a break down the right wing. Once he made the entry he laid the puck up for Vanek in the high slot. The sniper picked his spot, far side and up on Rask, and let it go and the Sabres had the early lead in the game at 4:52.
Tempers flared later in the first period after a series of shots and blocks in front of the Bruins net by Tuukka Rask and defenseman Johnny Boychuk. Bruin captain Zdeno Chara got rough with former Bruin Steve Montador and forward Raffi Torres came in give Chara the what for. Away from that scrum Milan Lucic and Toni Lydman got into fisticuffs, with Lucic taking a wild swing (and missing) before Montador joined that scrum and all three went to a heap on the ice.
Sorting out the penalties.
Bruins: Chara – cross-checking, roughing, Lucic – double roughing minor.
Sabres: Lydman, Montador, Torres — all two-minute roughing. Patrick Kaletta — 10-minute misconduct.
When it was all said and done, the Sabres had a two-minute power play that the Bruins killed off. Buffalo shortly went on another power play when Adam McQuaid went for hooking at 18:56 which brought play to the end or the period. The Sabres will start the second with a four-second man-advantage.
Buffalo leads the battle in shots thus far, 12 to 9.

Based on the express "keeping it on the down low," the term "downlowing" refers to a casual, and at the same time, secret, homosexual relationship, typically between black or latino men in small social gatherings - such as card games. Many of the men who participate in "downlowing" do not consider themselves gay, and many even have families.
Felix invited me to play dominoes with him and the boys this weekend, but I was told there's a lot of downlowing going on at those games, so I declined.

Hey VZ or anyone else - I'm almost ready for the barrel and wonder about this one:
MidwayUSA - Douglas Premium Pistol Barrel Blank 45 Caliber Centerfire Medium Basic 1.200" Diameter Rough Turned 1 in 16" Twist 27-1/2" Chrome Moly in the White
It is $150 and 27" long... currently backordered :(
Any other good deals on 45 barrels? :confused:
Numrich has some pistol-sized barrels but not much else... I am going to build mine at about 14-16" and with a muzzle brake, it should be just about right. Problem is that I'm only finding pistol-sized barrels. That 27" barrel is obviously going to make a nice 16" barrel, then what do I do with the other half? Make a matching pistol? :)
I'd like to find even a 12" barrel... I can live with a 4" muzzle brake.

Reviews of this property
This is a nice apartment very well located. The owner was very speed when we arrive to take the keys and some basics were missing from the kitchen but overall it is well furnished and comfy. There is a lot of pub and restaurants around; the place just in front of the apartment is crowded at night but the bedroom is located at the other side of the flat so it's still quiet.
Quite a large apartment, location is an easy walking distance from the old town, friendly host.
Thank you Eva, for being flexible. We had a perfect stay at your spacious and clean apartment at the Brüsseler Platz. We would come back anytime!
A really great, quirky apartment in a very funky part of town, homey enough to make us want to stay in more, but the neighbourhood with it's bars, cafes & shops kept dragging us out onto the streets.
But two things should be made clear to future guests: the delightful square the apartment faces can be noisy on warm summer nights (but at least the bedroom is far enough away to get some well-needed rest) and the second 'bedroom' is a comfortable sofa in the living room - not a separate room itself.
But we had a great time and would definitely stay there again.
Perfect location in the Belgian Quarter - collusion with the hostess who easily and smoothly functioning - Great apartment and beautifully decorated - so you can see well in the photos :-) - Do get advice from the hostess in terms of bars and clubs - The top location in Cologne you have to adjust, however, that you get no free parking nearby - that is why we have come by train ;-).
Perfekte Lage mitten im belgischen Viertel - Absprachen mit der Gastgeberin haben unkompliziert und reibungslos funktioniert - Tolle Wohnung und wunderschön eingerichtet - sieht man ja auch auf den Fotos :-) - Haben auch Tipps von der Gastgeberin in Bezug auf Bars und Clubs bekommen - Durch die Toplage in Köln muss man sich jedoch darauf einstellen, dass man keine kostenlosen Parkplätze in der Nähe bekommt - deshalb sind wir auch mit der Bahn gekommen ;-).
Beautiful apartment, excellent location and a nice and reliable landlord. Any time

Soon with WLAN, then even more attractive.

More rock falls, slides possible, CDOT says
Recent wet weather, freeze-thaw cycles cited as factors
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - A combination of wildfires, heavy rain, temperature changes and erosion could lead to an increase in rocks falling on state highways, a rock fall specialist said Thursday.
At least three rock falls have been reported this week, the latest on U.S. 6 in Clear Creek County on Thursday morning. It closed the highway for several hours. Authorities said no one was injured in the rock falls.
Ty Ortiz, a specialist with the Colorado Department of Transportation, said contributing factors could result in more falls or in falls that contain greater amounts of debris. The state has more than 750 areas where falls are a concern, he said.
"The conditions we're seeing now, we usually don't see until spring," said Ortiz. "I think it's a legitimate concern. The good part is we're ending the monsoon season and getting into a drier part of the year."
Ortiz named U.S. 24 in Ute Pass, U.S. 50 in Bighorn Sheep Canyon west of Cañon City, and Interstate 25 in Raton Pass as areas of particular concern in southern Colorado.
Ortiz said workers will watch for loose rock and either remove it or create areas for it to fall safely away from highways. A project to remove loose rock in Ute Pass is expected to be completed by the end of October.
CDOT has a budget of $9.3 million for rock fall issues.
"Whether that will be enough is too soon to say," said Ortiz.

The move marked a big step for the biggest name in the $466 billion consumer money-transfer business. But it appears to be paying off.
Western Union has 515,000 agents in 200 countries, giving it huge economies of scale. The Times Square branch is a popular destination for travelers. Eduardo Munoz/Landov
Western Union's first-quarter earnings, although depressed, beat analysts' estimates, propelled by a 9% uptick in transaction volume in the critical Mexican market. CEO Hikmet Ersek said on the company's earnings conference call that "pricing actions are working as planned," and that Western Union expects to "exit 2013 with strong momentum."
That could be welcome news to the company's long-suffering shareholders, who have seen the stock (ticker: WU) slide to a recent $16 from a high near $30 in mid-2008. If the business grows, as expected, the shares, too, could gain momentum, and advance to $19 or so. Add a 3.1% dividend yield, and investors could enjoy a total return of almost 21% in the next 12 months.
WESTERN UNION WAS FOUNDED as a telegraph operator in 1851, and spun out of First Data in 2006. The Englewood, Colo., company generated 74% of last year's $5.7 billion in revenue from money-transfer fees, mostly from its consumer-to-consumer business, which primarily serves under-banked immigrants remitting funds to folks back home. The average transaction involves $341, on which it charges a fee of up to 5%. Western Union also offers bill payments via its consumer-to-business unit, and facilitates cross-border payment services among businesses.
Western Union processed $71 billion of cross-border transactions in 2012, although its market share slipped to 15% from 17% the prior year, according to Aite Group, a research firm focused on the financial-services industry.

Online-transfer operators, including newly public Xoom (XOOM), also have been encroaching on Western Union's core walk-in, cash-to-cash business.
Western Union has faced regulatory issues, too. It settled a suit in 2010 with Arizona, which charged that the company hadn't done enough to catch and curb illegal money-transfer activities along the state's border with Mexico. Last year, Western Union cut ties to 7,000 agents in Mexico who failed to meet compliance standards.
Yet, Western Union's trusted name and installed base of 515,000 agents in 200 countries give it a wider moat than its market valuation suggests, and unmatched economies of scale. Moreover, the company is investing heavily in digital money transfer, to keep pace as the industry moves online. Management, which was unavailable to comment, has said that Western Union is on track to boost digital revenue to $500 million by 2015 from $150 million now.

Investors aren't paying much for Western Union these days, but could be getting more than they realize. The stock trades for 11 times this year's expected earnings of $1.41 a share, and 10 times next year's forecast of $1.59. The company lowered revenue and profit guidance in October, sparking a selloff in the shares, and said in February that 2013 earnings guidance could fall to a range of $1.33 to $1.43. Western Union earned $1.74 a share in 2012.
James Kenny, an analyst at Ariel Investment in Chicago, expects Western Union to trade up to the low $20s in the next few years, as unemployment levels fall around the world. "No one is better positioned to benefit from this long-term, secular trend," he says.
In the near term, the company could get help from a stronger housing market, which relies on immigrant labor.
The Bottom Line
Western Union shares could rally to $19 in the next 12 months, and to the low $20s thereafter, as the economy improves and transaction volume grows. The shares yield 3.1%.
Bryan Keane, an analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities, sees a 2% uptick in revenue next year in Western Union's consumer-to-consumer business, and a 7% rise in business-to-business, helping drive total revenue to $5.6 billion. "We expect Western Union's pricing actions to result in share gains, as the company further penetrates new distribution channels such as mobile and online," he wrote recently.
But skeptics like Goldman Sachs analyst Julio Quinteros had the upper hand until recently. "Limited visibility on whether transactions stick into 2014 and beyond keep us guarded," Quinteros wrote in a recent report. He has a Sell rating on the stock, and a price target of $13.
WESTERN UNION GENERATED an average of $1 billion in free cash flow in each of the past three years, and expects free cash to total $900 million this year. It plans to use most of the funds to pay the dividend and buy back shares. Last October, at the same time it lowered earnings guidance, the company announced a 25% dividend increase, to 50 cents a share, and approved a new buyback program of $550 million. It has reduced the share count by more than 20% since 2006, spending $4.3 billion to buy in stock.
Seizing on the weakness in the shares, several insiders also picked up stock last fall, including three directors and Ersek, the CEO, who purchased 8,060 million shares in early November for $12.36 apiece. The insiders are looking smart so far, and even more gains could come their way.

Excerpt: "It's not necessarily by choice, but if you look at the New York Giants' defensive line rotation in Sunday's game against the Eagles, you might see a couple of new -- and younger -- faces. Rookies Johnathan Hankins and Damontre Moore could be significant parts of the defensive game plan in Week 5.
Starting defensive tackles Linval Joseph and Cullen Jenkins missed practice Wednesday due to injuries. Backup Shaun Rogers also sat out with an injury. That led Giants coach Tom Coughlin to mention Hankins, the second-round draft pick who has been on the inactive list for each of the first four games, as a guy who could make his debut Sunday.
"I liked Hankins' work a week ago," Coughlin said. "I thought he was a really difficult guy for us to block in practice from an offensive standpoint, and I really felt like John was ready to contribute, and I feel the same way right now. I'm looking forward to watching him play."
Hankins has been healthy, but has been inactive every game due to the veteran depth the Giants have at defensive tackle. With injuries eating away at that depth, and having had an extra month to develop his NFL game in practice, it may be time for Hankins to show what he can do. Which is ...
"Stopping the run," Hankins said. "That's what they brought me here for. It's not going to be easy against Philadelphia. They have a great running back and a great quarterback who can run. But I am ready for the challenge."
Hankins has impressed his teammates in practice as well.
"Hank has done a good job out there in practice, and our confidence level in him is huge," defensive end Justin Tuck said. "He was a second-round draft pick for a reason, and I think he can get the job done." Read more...

Shoppers gear up for a long night of Black Friday shopping
WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. - Ready or not the Black Friday blitz is on!
After the turkey and sides settled many people are focused on one thing: finding those one-of-a-kind deals.
It seems the big items on almost everyone's list were electronics.
Before the doors opened at 8 p.m., the line at Sears in Whitehall Township, Lehigh County was long.
Plenty of people were looking for doorbuster deals but no one was able to beat Chris Dorwood, holder of the first spot in line.
He's looking for a lot of deals.
"TV's,50 inch TV, 32 inch TV's and the laptops," said Dorwood.
As the hours went by the line grew longer and longer.
More people looking for televisions, tablets and computers many at close to 50 percent off.
Then -- a small victory for customers as workers handed out the coupons enabling them to get that special item.
"Electronics are definitely going to be the big sellers," said Christopher Knight, assistant store manager of Sears in Whitehall. "Great doorbusters we are having."
When it was time to open the doors and let the rush begin, it only took minutes before items were flying off the shelves.
The eight o'clock wave was just the first wave of customers.
At 4 a.m. Sears will do another door buster and there will be more sales on electronics.
"Sears always looks forward to Black Friday and really generating some sales and business," added Knight. "And really taking care of the customers is what we are geared towards."
Some customers say they won't be back for the deals at 4 in the morning because they will probably be at other stores caught up in the frenzy of black Friday shopping.

Toddler, who fell into pool during Memorial Day weekend party, dies
SPRING TWP., Pa. - A Berks County family is dealing with heartbreak on Memorial Day.
A 20-month-old little boy died Monday after he plunged into a swimming pool during a cookout Sunday afternoon, said police.
"He's a beautiful child, liked to play. He don't like to cry, he liked to play," said Jagdeo Budhu, the toddler's grandfather.
Flashing lights and police cruisers were parked outside in the 3000 block of Regency Drive in Spring Township, where the toddler was found at the bottom of the swimming pool, said police.
"There was a lot of commotion, a lot of screaming. At one point the neighbors were also having a gathering, they ran over and luckily for them a nurse was in the crowd," said Ofc. Josh Knoblauch, Spring Twp. Police Department.
The little boy was pulled out of the water and the nurse immediately started chest compressions.
"I relieved her at that point. Once the AED was hooked up I got no response from the AED, so I continued chest compressions I would say roughly 2-3 minutes prior to EMS getting there," said Knoblauch.
Andrew was rushed to Reading Hospital, and later flown to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
According to police, Andrew was getting changed with a family member, and next thing they know he went missing. Now, investigators are trying to piece together the five-minute window before his mother found him under water.
"The pool was fenced in, but there's a crowd gathered there and you have that many eyes, but you just have to watch them constantly."

I love all of Dr. Oetker's cake mixes. This one is one of my favorites. I love that it doesn't have that 'box' cake flavor. Knowing that it's organic, it makes a light and fluffy cake that will take some of the guilt out of eating chocolate cake.
Had a weird gritty taste

I can't really explain it but the texture was a strange gritty you feeling. I followed the directions on the box exactly.

Siguiendo las instrucciones, el pastel salió perfectamente, pero no me convencen ni la textura ni el sabor. El sabor a chocolate deja bastante que desear, y la miga es muy reseca. No lo recomiendo. ** ** ** Following the instructions, the cake come out beautifully, but I'm not convinced by the taste or the texture. The taste is not very chocolatey, and the crumb is quite dry.

Mutton Bustin' caught our attention. Twenty 4 - 5 year olds were volunteered by their parents to ride sheep bareback.
The little kids were given helmets, stuck on the back of a full sized sheep and then released from a gate.
One girl from San Francisco held on for dear life for about 10 seconds.
All of the kids, boys and girls, were crying when they were picked up from the arena floor by a rodeo clown or one of the adult supervising the event
We're too litigious in the east to have an event like this one.
Other events that night included the donkey race. Three teams of three people from the crowd volunteered to ride/pull/push a donkey around a course. We learned that you need to pull the donkey's tail in the direction you want to go to keep them moving. I was amazed that no one was kicked.
One cowboy rode a bucking bronco. He stayed on for the required time.
The barrel racing event had women racing around three barrels for the best time. The fastest was 15 seconds. Two young girls, 10 & 6 years old, raced around the course on full sized horses. Amazing.
Bull riding came last. Those cowboys really earn whatever money they make.

High Adventure on the Slopes of Mt. Hood
Cooper Spur Mountain Resort • Mt. Hood, OR
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Lodge Room, Sundays through Thursdays
- Two Full-Day Lift Tickets to Mt. Hood Meadows
The Destination
Watching the skiers schuss down its powdery slopes, you wouldn't think that Mt. Hood—the tallest mountain in Oregon—were actually a volcano. It's been dormant for more than 200 years, of course, but what was once a fiery inferno has become the state's—and perhaps the Pacific Northwest's—premier four-seasons resort. Hood's five ski areas deliver endless adventure in winter, while spring and summer find the mountain crawling with hikers and bikers.
The Digs
On the north side of the 11,249-foot beast in the mighty Cascades, the century-old Cooper Spur Mountain Resort sits less than two hours east of Portland in Mt. Hood National Forest. Each of six Lodge Rooms is appointed with two queens, a king, or a queen and two twins, plus a full bath, satellite TV, wireless Internet, a DVD player, and a small table with two chairs.
The Diversions
• Mt. Hood Meadows boasts 2,150 acres of skiable terrain, and it's just 20 minutes down the road from Cooper Spur
• Tuck into a hearty rib-eye with onion strings and broccolini or rockfish and veggies at the Spur Steakhouse, featuring whatever is fresh and seasonal
• Soak sore muscles in one of two hot tubs on the resort's spa deck
"Here's a real Oregon mountain ski experience. A lodge with cozy hotel rooms. A classic steakhouse and lounge. And, of course, plenty of skiing."-- ResortsandLodges.com

MANUFACTURER: Eotech
Review This Item
Regardless of the scenario the EOTECH Holographic Hybrid Sight II, EXPS2-2 w/ G33STS (HHS2) provides an unparalleled advantage when transitioning from short-to-long range shooting. Instant transition is achieved through a Quick Switch to Side (STS) mount that offers a simple, quick disengagement of the magnifier.
The HHS2 includes the EXPS2-2 and non night vision compatible sight with a 2 dot reticle for fast action targeting. The HHS unit comes complete with a quick-detach base that will return to zero after mounting (to the same rail location) to within 2 MOA. This kit runs for an incredible 600 hours on one transversely mounted CR123 lithium battery.
The Holographic Hybrid Sight II comes with a G33.STS magnifier. Lighter and smaller than the previous G23 this magnifier can significantly extend your range. It offers a new and improved mount providing faster transitioning from 3x to 1x, tool free azimuth adjustment, larger field of view and an adjustable diopter for improved, precise focusing.
Built for extreme weather the HHS2 is water and fog proof and delivers the best of both worlds, ideal for close quarters combat yet capable of making the long shot at 600 meters.
The HHS2 is controlled under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and may not be exported without proper authorization by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

i would get various candidates and test them, the only way to be sure that a nail marked 'steel' really can take the temp
shrinkage of the clay body could be a factor too, cracking around a non-shrinking metal, you may need to modify to suit the metal additions

I just want these boxes to "look" as if they are "nailed" together. I guess a trip to the hardware store is my next move. Can I assume that since zinc is used in glazes that it's melting point is below cone 6?
Avoid anything with zinc in it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? With that information, we may be able to give you more specific advice.

i do alot of stone additions to my stuff for handles, works great, the clay will break before the epoxy bond

What type of metal tacks [small nails] will hold up at cone 6 and/or cone 10 firing? I want to use them on seams on hand built boxes.
You could try stainless steel nails. They may be found often at Lowes or other hardware stores.
Posted 16 October 2012 - 07:02 AM
Posted 16 October 2012 - 09:49 AM
The stainless may and I use may will a ?? mark still look like a tack at cone 6-best add them after the fire or make them from clay to look like metal..
Posted 16 October 2012 - 11:04 AM
No metal tacks will hold up at cone 10-steel pliers turn to a slag mess (how do I know this?)
The stainless may and I use may will a ?? mark still look like a tack at cone 6-best add them after the fire or make them from clay to look like metal..
I thought the same of most metals, but when at PSU in the 70's another student was doing a series of S&M female sculptures(no other way to describe them politely). These often had nails and other metal pieces embedded in them-sticking out etc. Admittedly many of these would melt, warp etc. but often the nails would leave hollow spikes protruding from the bodies. An interesting effect, especially with the runny shiny metal on the sides of the figure-almost like blood dripping down. I would think that stainless would hold up to ^6, but one only knows if one tries.

A steady rain Saturday afternoon did not stop 76 local amateur soccer teams from competing in
¡Futbolito! – Major League Soccer's Official 4-on-4 Soccer Tournament – at Delta Park in Portland. In its seventh year of existence, the 13-date summer-long tour wrapped up with its first-ever trip to Portland. Saturday was the tour's only appearance in the Northwest while it attempts to boost the popularity of the sport in the U.S. As the name ¡Futbolito! might suggest, there is an emphasis placed on getting bilingual American soccer fans involved.
¡Futbolito!, which kicked off its four-month excursion throughout the country on May 23 in Miami, has provided competition for over 1,400 teams this summer, including a record 198 on July 10 in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
Saturday's games were spread over 24 fields at Delta Park and across six different competition brackets: Youth (boys and girls); Adult Recreation (men and women); and Adult Premier (men and women). In the Adult Premier level – the tournament's most competitive format – teams competed for a $2,000 cash prize with a $1,000 award for runners-up.
Teams were encouraged to get creative with their uniforms, as evidenced by the Adult Premier championship match, which featured a team with Romanian national team jerseys against a squad with the Russian 'CCCP' across the chest on their red kits.
With only four players on each side, there is no goalie, and the field is just 90 feet long and 60 feet wide. Gameplay sees frequent starting and stopping as well as players taking shots at the goal from deep in their own end.
There were a number of sponsor booths where fans could experience and learn about new products, as well as several food options for players and fans alike.

This weekend my family and I are driving down to Walt Disney World to take part in the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. Not only is there the half marathon, but the resort also puts on a series of family races, including the Royal Family 5K. This year, in addition to the half marathon I'm running this Sunday, my entire family is signed up for this Saturday's Royal Family 5K and we are looking forward to again donning our Incredibles outfits from Dragon*Con (because I'm a one-trick-pony that way) and running as a family.
We've received a lot of questions and comments about running as a family:
- "Do your kids like running?" (My oldest son, age 10, loves is and is pretty good at it. My youngest son, age 8, likes the idea of running a race, but doesn't like the preparation for it. He still enjoys the races.)
- "Do you have to stay with your kids during a race?" (My husband and I make a point to stay with our youngest son. Our oldest son has run ahead before and is very good about staying near a pre-established spot just past the finish line if he wants to run ahead. He's pretty mature for his age and I trust him.)
- "Is it safe and healthy for such young children to be running long distances?" (That's a point that is often debated. I feel that 5 kilometers, 3.1 miles, is pretty reasonable for most children.)
- "Do you think a child should run a full marathon?"
Funny you should ask. This week a remarkable story has been making the media rounds: a 9-year-old boy from West Chester, Pennsylvania (near Philadelphia) will be traveling to Antarctica this weekend with his father to run a marathon!
In my mind, that sounds like so much win on so many levels! I'd love to take my kids to Antarctica, and to run a marathon together seems like such an incredibly creative way to experience it. Sort of like that Solar Eclipse Marathon that we mentioned last year.
According to his website, Nikolas Toocheck began running at age 5 with his father, who maintains a running regimen to keep up with his Air Force Reserves physical fitness requirements. From his first 5K on his own two feet at age 6, Nikolas was hooked and began to take part in longer and longer races. He ran his first marathon in Delaware this past December. He and his family discussed how marathons take place worldwide in many assorted climates, and from that grew Nikolas's goal: to run one marathon on each of the seven continents.
He has North America covered from his December marathon, and his next marathon is this coming weekend in Antarctica, where he and his father will be running the White Continent Marathon together.
Nikolas is running for charity: Operation Warm is an organization committed to supplying new coats for needy children. See the end of the post for details on how you can donate.
I'm sure you're either loving or hating this whole thing, right? You might be concerned about the physical and psychological** toll marathoning might have on a still-growing child.
**Yes, psychological toll. I ran a marathon in 2000 and it was very difficult for me, not physically, but mentally. I have memories of sitting down on the side of a trail near Dayton, Ohio and crying. I remember screaming, demanding "Why am I doing this?"
It's absolutely wonderful that Nikolas is using his running to bring awareness to a charity that's near and dear to him, and that he's inspiring other children to get fit.
I'm really loving his parents! They are encouraging fitness, goal-setting skills, geography education and mathematics.
Yes, this is one of my favorite parts. His goal is to run seven marathons on seven continents: 7 x 26.2 miles x 5280 feet per mile = ~968,000 feet. He rounded up to one million and set a fundraising goal for $1 per one-foot step.
Feel free to read the FAQ page at Nikolas's website where you can read more about the medical considerations his parents have already taken and how this whole thing was his own idea!
Daniel and Tara Toocheck, congratulations on supporting your son's very ambitious goal and providing him the resources to make it happen!

We are focused on balancing our relationships with all our stakeholders, helping us to communicate more effectively and develop services and partnerships that are most beneficial and appropriate. Our stakeholders include: Residential, commercial and industrial customers, investors, commercial lenders and financial analysts, active and retired employees, residents of the communities we serve and those of neighboring cities and towns, non-profit and low income advocates, federal and state regulators, vendors, elected officials, media channels, and other companies in the energy industry.
*This level of employee engagement is 14 percent higher than the norm for the utility industry as measured by Mercer.
Avista employee engagement (level of commitment to and satisfaction with employment at the company) is measured every two years, beginning in 2006, in partnership with Mercer, an independent consulting firm.
Key customer concerns include: energy pricing, electric price increases and executive compensation. In 2009 we implemented a comprehensive, multi-channel customer communication program to increase awareness of the rate making process, rate components, energy efficiency, energy assistance and what Avista is doing to manage our costs.
Avista is committed to maximizing the value created through timely, efficient, and effective supply chain services delivered to meet the needs of the clients and communities we serve. We are committed to contracting via competitive bidding processes to the maximum extent practical.
2009 spending on locally-based suppliers was $114,201,937 or 38 percent of our total goods and service spending.
We are interested in doing business with and providing opportunities to diverse suppliers capable of providing goods and services that satisfy our requirements at competitive prices.
2009 spending with diversity suppliers was $183,000 or 6 percent of the total local spend.
For more information about Avista's supplier engagement, please click here.
We seek out and encourage stakeholder involvement in our activities on a regular basis on a variety of issues, including transmission and distribution projects, and implementing vegetation management programs and the requirements of our hydroelectric licenses.
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) provides opportunities for three main groups of stakeholders in energy planning and infrastructure development. These groups include those who provide technical input and review of the resource options, system modeling and results (utility commission staff, planners from other utilities, academics and consultants). The second group includes those who have an interest in a particular aspect of our Integrated Resource Plan (environmental groups, resource developers and government agencies). And the third group includes members from regional planning organizations (Northwest Power and Conservation Council and Western Electricity Coordinating Council).
In addition, we are in partnership with our External Energy Efficiency (Triple-E) Board, which is comprised of a wide variety of industry and regulatory professionals, and Avista staff members. This group advises us on planning and implementing a broad range of energy efficiency programs.

If your web application'''s success depends on how quickly and easily users can make transactions, PayPal APIs provide effective solutions you can'''t afford to overlook. This concise book takes you hands-on through several options to help you determine the best choice for your situation, whether you'''re collecting money via websites or mobile apps for products and services, donations, or anything else.
In each chapter, you'''ll work with a different PayPal API by integrating it into the book'''s sample application, using Python and the Google App Engine framework. This expanded edition introduces two new options: Express Checkout for Digital Goods and Instant Payment Notifications, complete with sample project code. By the end of this book, you'''ll understand how to take full advantage of PayPal and its powerful features.
GDNet Staff Review:
PayPal APIs Up and Running is about the dozenth book about how to talk to PayPal from within your application. And this isn't necessarily a market-clogging problem, mainly because PayPal has been around for quite some time, and there are literally about a dozen different ways to talk to PayPal depending on how you are selling your product/add-on/microtransaction within or outside of your game. If you want to sell games from your website or sell virtual gizmos from inside your game, you can do it from PayPal. But the way you will talk to the system will likely be quite different.
The book isn't especially long. It is about 120 pages, which seems to be the norm for the latest crop of more narrowly-focused technical books. And, as you'd expect, you cannot comprehensively cover all of PayPal's API's in that short a space, so PayPal APIs Up and Running concentrates on PayPal's NVP (name-value-pair) system, which is a two-way communication that's suitable for embedding entirely within a game.
One complaint I have about the book is its use of Google App Engine and Python for all of the server-side code. While GAE is certainly a robust and proven system, it is not the most popular thing out there. If your server code is not GAE and you plan to talk to your app via Perl or PHP, the book suggests you check the PayPal online docs.
Mind you, this is not a complete deal-breaker. It is still a very good "one sitting" overview about how to talk to PayPal. And the price ($15 on Kindle at the time of this review) is a fair price for such an overview if you find yourself needing to learn about PayPal, the API's, and the PayPal developer tools (like the Sandbox) in a hurry. I just fear the book might be a little too narrow for someone who wants to get "up and running". Especially when you are competing with PayPal's very extensive online developer documentation.

So I've got a trap out going on a big, dead, trunk of a maple tree. It's one of five trunks coming off the butt. I trapped out one hive, pulled the trap, went out of the country for two weeks, thinking the tree colony WA done for, and came back to find it booming again! Homeowner was ok with resetting the trap, so I did. Problem is that this time, the bees have started coming and going from a plethora of cracks and rot holes in the butt. I've already put a whole can of spray foam into the trunk and they have found a couple more holes!
Homeowner has agreed to let me try to seal it up one more time tomorrow, but is growing weary of the huge cloud of bees in their yard.
Cutout is not an option, but the homeowner is ok with a "smaller number of bees in the area to pollinate the garden". So if I can't seal the tree tomorrow, here is what I'm wondering:
Can I smoke the tree with sulfur (or something else?) to kill everything left in the tree, but keepnthe honey and pollen stores useable? This would allow me to leave the hive (currently has about three frames of bees) to rob out the tree, and build up during the su mer dearth without me having to feed.
Basically I want To make the tree uninhabitable, without ruining the stores. Thoughts?

Sprat, I even got face time with DollarBill Bradley. This POS couldn't even look me in the eye.
time for some "regime change "!
one thing i can say about eygpt they at least had the balls to toss the bums out.
got to give um hat--
Ya never know j427x,, that just might be what will happen here if politicians keep stomping on every ones rights, there will eventually be a breaking point where everyone finally relizes whats up. Some,,, just won't ever "get it" and there a lost cause,, but by standing around doing nothing certanly won't change things for the better.
Remember there's lots of battles in a war, and you're not going to win them all, but by standing by and not speaking up you'll never win any,,,,that's the choices!
Myself I'll continue to speak my mind where it counts. It seemed to work here in Vt, so don't be scared,,, just get busy!!!!
We'll see what happens with Syria now,, last time I looked 58% of the people writing in, calling and those talking to there reps personally,,, don't want to be involved there. Let's see what happens there, and if they don't respect our wish's,, they'll be Hell to pay come election time, a sentiment that was made very clear by many people around here to our reps,,,,I think they listened too, there opposing it publicly at this point.
Time will tell! It could just be lip service, but I doubt it. We've got some decent reps for the most part. Lahey,,,well the jury's still out on him!!!!

Arrived into Uyuni fresh faced but shaken and got ourselves straight on a tour of the Salt plains. We met our motley crew for this trip. Two dudes from Detroit called Adam and Richard, a girl from Vancouver called Jillian and one of Irelands best in Wayne. Off we went to the train cemetary outside of town. Lots of trains deaded to the world. Nice pieces of junk though. We encountered two baby Ostrich too. Couldn�t resist picking them up for the pics. We hit the salt lake then. Not far to drive. It�s so white and enormous. Words can�t describe. We took all the usual perspective photos and tried to be as original as possible. Hope yis all enjoy them.
Next up was the cactus island. Lots of coral on it from when it was under this salty lake. It is easy to forget how high up you are with the sun burning down on your head but we were quickly reminded trying to walk to the top of the island for the panoramic views. Kermit had flown in to be with us on this trip and hopefully for the rest of the trip. That is until he get�s shacked up with some cheap hooker in Thaliland or something. He�s not been the same since the muppets was cut.
We got our first taste of our cooks cuisine after the island walk at about 4. Lou was given the veggie dish as she didn�t want steak. It turned out to be a lump of avocado that looked like it had been squashed by someones foot. Not to mention the beautiful hair in the salad. We were in for it on the cuisine side but thankfully everyone just ate and laughed. It�s an enormous plus when you are with a gang of nice people. Helps to see the funny side. Later that night we were brought to the salt hotel. Lovely place. Almost everything was made from salt. Even the bed frames. It was so cosy and warm even though it was freezing outside. We stayed outstide for a bit though, you have never seen stars until you�ve been to Uyuni! It was like being in a giant snow globe, the stars were amazing, very bright and lots and lots and lots of them! Conor even saw a shooting star! We all ate the hairy stuff (chef�s haute cuisine!) and then began playing cards. Shithead to be specific. Richard (from Detroit) had been reserved throughout the day until this moment. A few glasses of wine and a few games later and he was trying to screw everyone. It was hilarious. We�d a great laugh. Everyone went to bed a shithead eventually. It was inevitable.
Next day we went to see volcanoes, flamingos, weird coloured lakes and some seriously odd shaped rocks. The higher we got the harsher the wind became too. Even though the sun was beating down it would cut you it was that cold. Didn�t matter. I think everyone was secretly farting warm ones from the dodgy cuisine. There�s a lot of driving to be done on these tours so if you�re not a farter in the jeep you�re a liar. The cooks daughter was with us too and she had her favourite South Amerian Reggaton cd with her too. Oh mother of Jeebus. The same song over and over again with this screaming goat singing in the background. The window was looking good. We all just laughed instead. What else can you do. They were in the front and had control. WE got to the lodge for the night and Lou politely asked the cook for some tea in her best spanish. It roughly translated as, "Tea now bitch". Then began the daggers. And boy did this Bolivian bird have good daggers. That night it was freezing although we reckoned the people from the Gap Adventures tour were probably somewhere eating a 4 course gourmet meal while having their feet rubbed thinking about which angle to hit the heated pool from. Of course this wasn�t true but they did seem to get much more than everybody else in the way of food and comfort. Wimps. We like beds that sink in the middle and salty bed linen. Everyone else was wrapped up tight with hats and scarfs and twelve layers of t-shirts on. But of course "the furnace" Byrne hopped straight into bed in just his boxers. "Ahhhh loverly". "Night night cold ones."
Next day we were woken at 4 in the morn to see the sunrise. This would have happened had we not suffered our 3rd puncture of the trip on the way. Fair play ot the driver though. He was so quick getting it fixed in the freezing cold. Horse of a man at only 4 feet tall. We got to the geysers and all our mouths dropped. They then quickly closed again as the smell of earth farts infested our noses and mouths. This place was amazing. Bubbling and steaming and some violently steaming like a kettle left boiling. In fact even more powerful than the kettle. The rest of the day was great. No point us blabbering on anymore. It�s better to just enjoy the award winning photos. Hot springs which only Conor, Adam and Richard braved. There was a lot of high fiving after that. Some more gorgeous lagunas and a torturous 7 hour journey home. Absolutely great trip. Can�t think of how painful some people might get it though with a possible bunch of assholes in the same jeep. We were blessed once again to meet a top bunch of people. It�s just pot luck but it really does make a tour like that to be with cool people while doing and seeing amazing things.
When we got back to Uyuni we got Pizza�d up, said goodbye to the others and got to the station for our night train to the border. We loved Bolivia for it�s scenery and diversity. Not many places you could go to and see jungle, salt lakes, huge mountains an incredible city in La Paz and enjoy the worst hangover in the world. Only bad thing about the place is the constant arguing with local people for this and that. Bolivia has a long way to go to get out of it�s third world way but it makes it a haven for cheap backpackers and people thrill seeking which is 99% of what we wanted. The other 1% would have been some food that didn�t give you the hershey squirts. Hehe. Put that in your pipe and suck it.....


text: I have 7 hives I want to split come spring. I have made up queen cups and frame as shown by FatBeeman in one of his videos. My question is if I put this frame in my best hive will the queen lay eggs in the cells and then the hive produce queen cells to use in my splits or am I missing a step or two? Also. how would be the best way to keep queens alive that hatch before I am ready to use them?.

What? Dante is pretty horrible on Dojo. Unless he can get his long AP burst combos off of one or multiple persons w/o getting interrupting (pretty dang hard on Dojo) you're outta luck.
Columbia is actually better for Dante, as it's pretty large and allows him to isolate a single opponent to hit with a long combo.

Re: Worst, and best level for each character.
Kratos' best stage by far is dojo.. i don't know where you think it's his worst. He can burst for 180 on that map and the smaller the stage the better for kratos.
Re: Worst, and best level for each character.
Radec's worst is the Uncharted/Stowaway stage. So many of Radec's key attacks require a level line of sight, and space to keep distant from close combat. The first half of stowaway is a claustrophobic mess where R is forced into close combat, followed by one long incline, which buggers up all of his long range attacks.
Columbia is actually quite good for Radec. Godd space to get away and good level lines of sight. He can hide behind the central mound and shoot at players on the other side of the screen.
Drake's worst is Time Station. Those levels wreak havoc with D's levels 1 and 2


text: I am on the "Philanthropy Committee" for the interns here at the TOYOTA plant in Indiana, and today we had an event where we worked with the local Habitat for Humanity chapter at a subdivision in nearby Evansville where they are building. After our shift they were having a dedication for a recently finished house in the neighborhood, so my wife and I went over to see it. It turns out that the house was sponsored by none other than the Jerry and Bobbye Sloan Foundation, and guess who was there to give the key to the new owners? That's right - good old Jerry. Imagine me going up there covered in sweat and little bits of grass seed and straw (we had been seeding and laying straw in the neighborhood all morning) to shake his hand, in my beloved Pistons ringer tee. Jerry was real nice and laid back. I was up there on the porch with a few other interns, and he was asking us where we go to college and such (he ribbed me a little about the Pistons shirt and thought it was funny that I go to BYU in Utah of all places). One of the funny things he said was when one of the interns told him he goes to Georgia Tech, he told us how he has a player who went there (Matt Harpring), and then, with a laugh, he goes, "That is the most spoiled player you will ever meet." I think he was just joking around. I found out that Sloan went to college at U of Evansville, and now he pays his daughter to run the foundation out of his pocket so that money from the foundation's donations aren't taken out of to pay for the director's salary. Real classy guy. Cool, huh? I thought this could be a good thread to share stories of famous (or infamous, hehe) people we have met. Or even of noteworthy non-celebrities we know.

Allergies at the holidays: Don't let them get in the way of holiday festivities

text: You seem to forget that this team lost 5 games last year when leading in the 4th quarter. The secondary/defense WAS A FATAL FLAW. We lose more then a few games because of it. Fortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. Realistically you can't settle everything in one off season, it's just not possible. Teams like the Pats do an awesome job of having someone waiting in the wings, but most teams aren't like that.

After years of thinking that I didn't want to go through the hassle of piecing together a Fett (even though I really wanted one), I decided to take this plunge last month. I had recently trooped in my TK in the Dallas Christmas Parade and spent some time at Children's Medical Center the day before with one of our Garrison's ROTJ Fetts (Levi). That was December 5, and that night I started looking at TDH with a purpose to start designing this thing.
Here we sit not even a month and a half later, and I just looked at my list and realized:
1) Wow, I have this thing nearly licked; and
2) Wow, if my wife knew what I had spent in the past 45 days, her eyes would roll out of her head.
Here's the list so far, mainly for my own selfish purposes of getting it all down and keeping a record that I can easily access and update. Also, anything that I am missing I would happily take advice on.
Helmet - Fettpride Premium Kit on the way. Then going straight to SpideyFett for paint.
Jetpack - MoW - nearly completed with the paint job, but will likely ask Alex to finish the weathering
Harness - FettDad (who I owe a big thanks again to, for talking with me and pointing me in the right directions on this build) system, Diver's Belt and Squarerings from BFUK
Gauntlets - WickedBeard - ordered and at last update they were "pretty far along"
Armor - WickedBeard - ordered and at last update they were cut and awaiting paint
Flightsuit - currently being made by Arkady (anyone looking for ESB blue flightsuit, check with her - she found some awesome fabric a couple weeks back)
Vest & Belt Pouches- Ladysewforus
Neck Seal - Batninja
Ammo Belt - BooBooFett. This thing is so nice. Really worth the price.
Braids - Woodman. Really, really nice.
Girthbelt - just ordered from dsonik's run. Looking forward to getting it and rubbing some dirt and grease into it.
Cape - Woodman. Really, really awesome. Weathered and tattered very nicely. I think I had it in my mailbox 3 days after paying him, too.
Gloves - In on Galactic Bounty Hunter's latest run.
Chest Display - TK-409
Boots - CABoots
Shin Tools - Gabe/Evolution
Blaster -
That is it stuff that I have either already gotten my hands on or have paid for and am chomping at the bit to get. Hoping to have everything in the next month or so. So...on to the list things I still need. Commentary on everything is appreciated, but especially on these remaining items:
Beacon & Stabilizer - either mojo or Gabe/Evo. Like that the Evo setup comes with the light kit on the Beacon.

So, it's been a while since we've had a Wurm Online thread. I know a few OnRPGers, including myself, play/have played this game. The shortest description I can give the game is a medieval sandbox game with light-fantasy elements. You essentially play the role of someone that lives and exist within a medieval world where the gods are real and monsters roam the land (as well as normal animals). My favorite features in the game are the terraforming (you can literally take down or build mountains, if you want to put forth the time and effort), the building system (you can make huge, sprawling cities or tiny farms with a ranch house), and the simulated vegetation/tree system (trees, grass, flowers, etc... grows and spreads). New features and neat stuff are released at a decent rate, the next "big thing" to come out being bridges. The last massive update was the introduction of multistory buildings.
If you're interest in trying out the game, I can try and help you out by answering your questions. If you want to give the game a go and want some help starting, you are invited to join me in Minowick, the town I'm currently living in on the Serenity server, in the Epic Cluster. We're part of the Jenn-Kellon kingdom.Think of servers as continents, and Clusters as worlds. The Epic cluster is a PVP-enabled cluster with 2x skill gain and something called "the Curve" that basically doubles your effective skill (with 20 skill, you essentially have the equivalent of 40 skill on other servers).
I'll include more screenshots later on, but here are a few. You can also read my review of the game that I wrote earlier this year for a more-indepth look at the pros/cons, what it has to offer, etc...
My friend and I preparing to go on a hunt. He wasn't skilled enough for a horse, so he had to ride his trusty battle-cow.
This funny looking guy will be your best friend as a newbie. You'll be introduced to him in the tutorial and he will completely fill your food and thirst bar (yes, there is a hunger/thirst system in the game) for the first 24 hours you spend in the game.


text: He is probably deciding whether to take the gamble and sign the 3.8 M tender offer or take the long term contract for 7 M. The gamble with the tender offer is that next year he will be a UFA and get higher offers from other teams, However, if doesnt have a good year then he will probably not get what the Giants have offered. I said this before; I dont think is as highly regarded around the league as he is in NY. No team wants to pay 8+ M and give up a number 1.

Beating India in the sub-continent is a difficult proposition for the New Zealand Davis Cup tennis side - and it's something they haven't achieved for 35 years - but this weekend's tie looms as a rare chance.
India were in the world group as recently as last year but three of their top players will be absent because of ructions within Indian tennis.
Rohan Bopanna and Mahesh Bhupathi have both been banned for the tie because they demanded to play as a pair at last month's Olympic Games and also refused to play with Leander Paes, and Paes indicated he preferred to play in a World Team Tennis event in the US rather than Davis Cup.
The acrimony between India's top players dates back some time - Bhupathi and Paes once fought over a Bollywood actress - but in June Bhupathi accused Paes of being a "backstabber" because Paes changed his doubles partner on the eve of a tournament without telling Bhupathi.
Bhupathi and Paes had previously put Indian tennis on the map, having won both Wimbledon and the French Open and climbing to the top of the world's doubles rankings.
Their relationship has always been a tense one but it now seems it's beyond repair.
"We have a love-hate relationship but it's worse now," Bhupathi said in June. "We have made our relationship a laughing stock in the country. Both of us are to blame for this. We don't speak and have no camaraderie."
Bhupathi essentially challenged the All India Tennis Association to ban him and Bopanna and they duly obliged.
It has shorn India of considerable firepower. Paes is ranked as the world's fifth-best doubles player with Bopanna (15) and Bhupathi (18) not far behind.
To make matters worse, Somdev Devvarman, who had a career-high ranking of 62 in singles last year, is also unavailable because of injury.
It means India will field a young and inexperienced team to tackle New Zealand in the Asia/Oceania Group I relegation playoff.
Yuki Bhambri (ranked 179 in singles), Vishnu Vardhan (262), Saketh Myneni (383) and Sanam Singh (367) have been chosen for the tie and they will still start as favourites on home soil.
Their rankings still compare favourably to those of the New Zealanders - Rubin Statham (317), Daniel King-Turner (382), Michael Venus (592) and Artem Sitak (705) - but the Kiwi camp are optimistic of retaining their place in Asia/Oceania Group I despite the prospect of playing in hot and humid conditions in Chandigarh in India's north.
"India is fronting up with a younger and less experienced team which gives us a real opportunity to get a result," New Zealand captain Marcel Vos said. "On paper it's a fairly even tie with five great potential match-ups, so if we can all play our best tennis and handle the conditions well it will be an exciting tie.
"Even though it's being held in India, our guys have more Davis Cup experience then our opponents and hopefully this will become a factor as well. We are keen to put in a total team effort."
The two nations have met on six previous occasions with three wins apiece, but India won the last three in 2002, 2003 and 2004 and New Zealand's three wins came in the 1970s when the likes of Onny Parun, Chris Lewis and Brian Fairlie were playing.
The winner of the tie remains in Asia/Oceania Group I with the loser playing off against Chinese Taipei to remain in Group I. The draw will be made today (Thurs) before tomorrow's opening singles.
