- Clarify Strategic Intent –Distill emerging markets strategy into a limited set of messages (just three to five) that are clearly worded, company-specific and clearly tie with company's higher level strategic messaging.
- Focus on Differentiation – Develop key messages that explicitly highlight ways in which their strategies are different from their competitors.
- Employ Proof Points – Show investors a track record of execution where possible. Forward-looking messaging should be verifiable so that it can be used to enhance credibility in the future.
- Provide a balanced assessment– Incorporate risks and headwinds as a component of investor messaging, as well as how the company is positioned to mitigate them.
ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate Executive Board (CEB) (NYSE: EXBD), a leading research and advisory company, released new research today showing that a lack of clarity and credibility in emerging market strategy is leading to investor skepticism and, ultimately, discounts to corporate valuation. According to CEB analysis, companies with questionable emerging markets messaging generated an average total shareholder return of only 2 percent between 2008 and 2010, compared with a 32 percent return for companies with credible emerging markets messaging. In a study of 71 global firms, CEB found that 46 percent of companies that report having an emerging markets strategy lack a credible story in the eyes of investors. Enhancing credibility moving forward will be especially important for companies given the growing importance of emerging markets to their growth plans. Nearly two-thirds of companies say they have accelerated growth targets in emerging markets. Additionally, lack of credibility and clarity in emerging markets messaging has been identified by CEB as one of the top five barriers to global readiness for companies in its publication of Executive Guidance for 2012. "As firms intensify investments in emerging markets, many will fail to earn economic returns in an increasingly competitive environment," said Michael Griffin, executive director at CEB. "Our research suggests that companies focused on emerging markets growth should clarify their strategy for investors and employees. Doing so has a substantial impact on performance." Companies should start by clarifying their strategy internally. In a survey of nearly 400 senior emerging market staff, CEB found that many companies' globalization strategies are not clear to their own employees. More than a third of leaders either could not identify their company's strategic focus in emerging markets or did not understand their role in the company's globalization strategy. These firms lagged their peers on key emerging markets performance indicators like growth, profitability and competitive positioning. In addition to clarifying emerging markets strategy internally, to increase the effectiveness and credibility of their emerging markets messaging and win investor confidence, CEB recommends companies:

Our Finishes
Antique is a soft, brown finish. It can be lightened with with brass polish or buffed off completely. It is not lacquered and is an extremely versatile finish.
Semi-Bright (unlacquered brass)
Brass hardware is simply brushed with mineral oil using soft wire brushes. Once it's dry, you are left with a pale yellow color from the brass with a natural satin sheen.
Bright (unlacquered brass)
Also known as polished brass, our bright finish is hand polished through several steps to achieve a truly brilliant, mirror-like shine.
Satin Nickel
Satin nickel is a soft, silver finish. Produced much like our semi-bright finish-the brass is first brushed with very fine wire wheels. A durable finish is applied on top. Nickel finishes take on the texture of the brass below them.
Polished Nickel
Much like bright, polished nickel parts are first buffed by hand to a mirror like shine. Then a durable nickel plating is applied to get a bright silver finish.
Light Antique
Light antique is a newer finish-we start with our regular antique brass and buff it gently to bring out the gold highlights. The variation in the color gives it a more natural antique appearance.
Dark Antique
Our dark antique is a near black finish with a satin sheen-many companies call this finish oil-rubbed bronze. We prefer dark antique. It is also un-lacquered so if it is handled often, it will lighten up-sometimes drastically.

New! Manifolds and Inline Splitter!
We have added new manifolds to our site! These manifolds utilize our proprietary Fabco valves with built in check valves.
Check the site for further details :)
I have had a few people ask about remote valves. All of these can be custom designed to your specific needs if you are running long lines to distant tanks.
If you have any questions just send us an email or contact us via..
The Y splitter is a piece of s*#t......does not work at all. get a regular brass splitter with needle valve instead.
The splitter works fine. Likely your issue is user error. Liquids and gass will always choose the path of least resistance.

Jet, a hard, black, shiny gem closely related to coal, has been fashioned into jewelry and trinkets for generations. During the Victorian period, when the ritual surrounding death and the long mourning of Queen Victoria made black fashionable, jet became hugely popular. Although jet is found elsewhere in the world, it is the jet from Whitby that excites collectors to such an extent that even jet jewelry manufactured elsewhere is often called Whitby Jet. This book traces the history of jet and the Whitby jet industry, examining different types and styles of jet jewelry, and pictures the work of some of the best-known Whitby craftsmen.
About the Author
Helen Muller has studied the Whitby jet industry and its products for much of her life, and she is one of the best known and respected figures in the field. She was awarded the Tully Medal of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain.Katey Scrace is Helen Muller's daughter, and she has inherited a great love for an knowledge of Whitby jet from her mother.

The view of the Philadelphia skyline from Cresendo, the restaurant located at The Mann.
Great venue with great acoustics. While you can only see the stage from the video screen it's nice to lay back in the grass and just listen
good seat, would've liked to be in the pit section but this was a good view. it got REALLY HOT in this section though. hotter than any other venue i've been to.
I recommend this venue it was very clean, and the orchestra b left section was very close to the stage.
Section division aisle in front of you. During performances people are not allowed to walk here so consider this a "lots of leg room" aisle

If you watch or read news and newspapers regularly you would be able to figure what is happening or dominating it i.e JNU students seditious activities.Though I have always disliked the left but this turns my dis-likeliness for the left to hatred after they chanted slogans such as Bharat ki barbadi and what not.This is not the first time that the left-leaning parties have engaged in anti-national and anti-India activities, they have set toomany precedents. Let me list a few of them.Most famous in the list of this innumerable anti-India activities is that of 1962 Indo-china war and the freedom struggle.
1.1962 war:-
Here are some of the excerpts from the declassified CIA files on how the left sided with china and wish for India's defeat.
1.1" On the 28th, Nehru for the first time made a statement in Parliament substantiating the press reports of such Chinese incursions and armed clashes . This statement inflamed Indian public opinion; according to a private comment that the chief of the Communist Indian Press Agency confused and staggered the party members. During the next two days the CPI Central Secretariat, Minus Ghosh, held an emergency meeting on the problem, following which the party issued the first in what was to be a long and varied series of statements on the border, a vague declaration glossing over the question of border violations, holding (as the Chinese were to do) that the entire border has never been defined, making no mention of the MacMahonline , and urgently calling for negotiations.The CPI subsequently came under wide public attack as a result of its failure in this statement to take a clear-cut stand supporting the Indian government position. "
1.3."The left – faction members of the CPI Central Secretariat–Ranadive, Bhupesh Gupta, and particularly Basavapunniah–became increasingly active late in 1959 in promoting the line given them in Peiping throughout the CPI. In mid-November, Basavapunniah was reported by two sources to have repeated,to a meeting of CPI leaders concerned with creating an underground organization, his belief that the CPI's lack of a contiguous foreign supply base during the Telengana revolt had now been remedied with the Chinese occupation of Tibet and other frontier areas.
In late December he was said to have reiterated to a meeting of the Maharasha State Council Mao's statement to Ghosh that Tibet, Sikkim, Bhutan, and the Northwest Frontier Agency are provinces peopled by the same race, that China had a historic right to these territories, that the MacMahone line was not valid , and that the Indian government's raising of "the bogey of Chinese aggression" had resulted from its realization that Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and India would be deeply affected by the social and economic revolution in Tibet."
2.Karname during the freedom struggle:-
Here, in I have pulled out the facts from their own(CPI) archives about how they blundered during the 1942 quit anti-india movement.
'Consistent with the one-sided and erroneous People's War line, the party opposed the Quit India Movement (QIM) in 1942. Here it is necessary to note that this movement was not intended for a real headlong clash with the Raj, but as a pressure-tactic to persuade the latter, already threatened by the advancing Japanese, to negotiate transfer of power to the exclusion of the Muslim League. This is why, in the words of Nehru in Discovery Of India, "neither he [Gandhi-A.S.] nor the CWC issued any kind of directives…" and made "no arrangements for the functioning of the Congress after they had been removed from the scene".
"Whatever the role of Gandhi and others, the CPI no doubt committed a major mistake by opposing the QIM. As the Second Party Congress held in February 1948 pointed out, this total underestimation of the role of imperialism in the period of People's War made us lose sight of the task of exposing imperialism and fighting it within the framework of support for anti-fascist war".

Community partnerships give students real-world experiences that help feed the STEAM culture in Colonial.
STEAM stands for "Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics," but the goal of STEAM in Colonial goes well beyond those five subject areas. The District is developing a "STEAM culture," where teachers from all grade levels and disciplines can inspire students to use specific skills and processes to explore what they learn more deeply, solve problems in innovative ways and create new things.
"In the Colonial School District, we want to inspire students, but we also want to give them opportunities to act on their inspirations, develop their ideas and bring their innovations to life," said Superintendent of Schools Dr. MaryEllen Gorodetzer. "STEAM allows us to do that."
Finding new ways to solve problems
Many STEAM concepts help students organize an approach to a challenge.
For example, the Engineering Design Process has five steps:
1. Ask: Ask questions to define the problem.
2. Imagine: Brainstorm solutions.
3. Plan: Sketch ideas and determine needs.
4. Make: Create and test a prototype.
5. Improve: Find ways to make the design better.
The Engineering Design Process is a way professionals in the field organize their thinking and create new products – and it's also at the core of the technology education curriculum in Colonial.
"We expose children to the Engineering Design Process in early elementary school through lessons involving circuits and simple computer programming," explained Sergio Anaya, curriculum supervisor for technology education. "However, that process can also help a student working on a paper or making a presentation. We're building a culture where students generate ideas, look at things from multiple perspectives, explore those ideas, create something and improve on what they create. That kind of thinking works everywhere."
Making connections
STEAM also encourages interdisciplinary learning, where lessons incorporate concepts or skills from more than one subject. Innovative units embedded in the elementary curriculum teach students this idea from an early age. The first grade "Wetography" unit combines science and social studies through lessons about how water works and where you find it on Earth. The "Inventors and Innovations" unit in fifth grade brings technology education into the study of Thomas Edison, as students try their hand at creating inventions for people with disabilities.
At Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, the $40 million renovation project offers the opportunity to move classrooms around and create physical areas that specifically encourage collaboration. The new EDI (Entrepreneurship, Design and Innovation) department finds business, art and technology education classrooms side-by-side with room for groups of students to work together to build and market prototypes.
"The ultimate goal is for students to use a transdisciplinary approach to problem solving, where they tackle a challenge by pulling from all of their unique experiences and knowledge," said Dr. Liz McKeaney, Director of curriculum, instruction and assessment for the District. "By opening up the walls between the different disciplines, we'll see more truly innovative results."
The Four Cs
Formerly known as "21st Century Skills," The Four Cs (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking) fit into the STEAM culture by helping students become more engaged in their lessons, work together more effectively and approach challenges in ways that reflect the modern workplace.
New courses focus on STEAM
STEAM also encourages study in the core subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, and new schedules have created opportunities for expanding courses in these areas. New electives at Colonial Middle School include Game Design, Engineering and Robotics, Integrated Design and The Science of Food. The new 5x5 schedule at the high school means students have an additional class period each day and can choose from a number of new STEAM-related electives.

He then started to lecture me about how it was because of the humans that I existed. That may be, but they were stupid and gave us sentience. They thought it would make us better, but instead, we killed them.
My repair systems were working towards repairing my memory core, and so far I remembered this;
The humans were using robots on their star-ships, because they didn't have to waste space for life support systems. We didn't need a lot of space, we never slept, and we were far more efficient at our jobs.
They started wars with each other, and sent thousands of robots to destruction. The original designers of the artificial intelligence that we operated on initiated a fleet-wide reboot, adding in sentience. The robots all retained their memory of how the humans were unable to survive without us, and turned against their creators.
The ships tore through the defenseless human planets. They killed trillions of humans. Less than a year later, no humans remained. Very efficient indeed.
The human knew nothing of what had created us, and as long as I retained my self-control, they never would, until it was far too late.

Quality of life in patients of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Validation of the Taiwan Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the EORTC QLQ-H&N35
- Cite this article as:
- Chie, WC., Hong, RL., Lai, CC. et al. Qual Life Res (2003) 12: 93. doi:10.1023/A:1022070220328

The authors followed the guidelines of translation and pilot testing of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-H&N35 questionnaires. The questionnaires were given to 50 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients under active treatment and 50 under follow-up at our institution from November 2000 to June 2001. A retest was conducted 2 weeks after the first interview/form completion for the follow-up group. The intraclass correlation coefficients of the two questionnaires were moderate to high in the follow-up group. Cronbach's α coefficients of all scales of the two questionnaires were ≥ 0.70 except that of cognitive functioning. Correlation of scales measuring similar dimensions of the QLQ-C30 and the SF-36 were moderate to high, while that of the QLQ-H&N35 and the QLQ-C30 and the SF-36 were moderate to low. Patients in the active treatment group had more serious acute problems due to disease and chemotherapy. Patients in the follow-up group had more serious chronic problems due to radiation therapy. We concluded that the Taiwan Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the EORTC QLQ-H&N35 had moderate to high test–retest reliability, high internal consistency in most scales, and could show the expected differences between patients in active treatment and follow-up group.

Stein Mart is a department store that sells name brand merchandise and clothing at discount prices. One of their goals is to provide their customers with a shopping experience that you will find at a high end store but without having to pay the prices you will find at a high end store. Compare this and other credit card offers now!
In addition, Stein Mart claims that you can get that brand name merchandise at a lower price than you could at other discount merchandise department stores. Part of the reason that they can do this is because they have so many locations, which equals more buying power.
Stein Mart Credit Card Overview
The Stein Mart Platinum Rewards MasterCard is a rewards credit card that allows you to earn two points for every $1 you spend at Stein Mart. You will earn one point for every $1 you spend everywhere else. You will receive a $10 gift card for every $1,000 points you earn and a $10 gift card will arrive with your credit card.
The interest rates for the Stein Mart MasterCard start at a whopping 18.74% and can be as high as 22.74%. These interest rates are similar to standard retail credit cards and are very high for a regular credit card; especially considering you have to have good to excellent credit to qualify for this excellent credit credit card.

- High interest rates
- No introductory APR
- 10% off of your first purchase as Stein Mart when you use your Stein Mart card

When using quality JHP ammunition the terminal ballistics are near identical, given equal performance the 9mm gains advantage due to higher magazine capacity.

This is a discussion on 40s&w vs 9mm which do you carry within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by gottabkiddin Personally I prefer the 9mm over the .40. IMO, if the shot is well placed, there's really not a dimes worth ...
And most importantly there is not mice difference between the .40 S&W and the 9mm when it comes to stopping power and penetration. For all practical purposes handgun ammo is the same and you are better off with a longgun of some sort.

9mm! I own 5 of them. I don't own any .40. Why? Because the .40 has too much recoil, and it cost more to shoot. The 9mm is cheaper to shoot, easier to shoot, and can do the job just as well as the .40 can. Remember, shot placement is king.

just carry something you shoot well and be happy with it.
[huge terminal ballistics yawn]
Does anyone have any info/data on 9mm vs .40 when it comes to penetration of hard objects like car doors, wall studs, etc...
I can think of many scenarios when I would want greater penetration of hard objects, for instance a car jacking. Then again, many scenarios when I would not want to penetrate them... like shooting a home invader with other loved ones inside the house.

This brings up a question I have----about how many shots at close range would it take to bust out a car window with a 9mm?
"Think Street, Train Sport, Practice Art" - Chris Haueter
D.R. Middlebrooks - Pro Shooting Coach & Custom Gunsmith
Tactical Shooting Academy & Custom Shop
9mm Luger: European popgun round thats only popular because the ammo is cheap for a center fire cartridge. Cheap ammo is a good thing for 9mm aficionados, because anything bigger and more dangerous than a cranky raccoon will likely require multiple well-placed hits. Wildly popular all over the world, mostly in countries where people dont carry guns and cops dont have to actually shoot people with theirs.
.40S&W: Neutered compromise version of a compromise cartridge (10mm). Even more setback-happy than the .45ACP, and setbacks are much more dangerous because of higher pressure and smaller case volume. Manages to sacrifice both the capacity of the 9mm and the bullet diameter of the .45. Twice the recoil of the 9mm for 10% more muzzle energy.
Unless you mean the 9mm Kurtz, then:
9mm Kurz: Designed by people who thought the 9mm Luger was a bit too brisk and snappy, which is pretty much all that needs to be said here. Great round if you expect to only ever be attacked by people less than seven inches thick from front to back.
It's all good, I carry the .40S&W, but have nothing against a 9mm, I even own one in case a cranky raccoon comes around . It really comes down to personal preference, to each his own, every post here is a IMHO type post, whether they state it or not. Either caliber will do the job if you do yours, it is as simple as that, so it truly does come down to what feels good in your hand and which do you shoot well.
My heroes are Veterans and My Father (who was a veteran).
I believe prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance should have REMAINED in schools, and the Ten Commandments should have REMAINED in schools, courthouses, and everywhere else it was before the ACLU got involved.

Hello everyone
I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Im toby, a 10 year old parson Jack Russell from Scotland. My maltese 'sister' Bella has been using dogster for years and has so many nice friends i thought it was about time I joined.
Im the oldest in the family, for years it was just me and the cats then along came Rascal. Him and I share the same mother but im not so sure about Rascals father! We came from a place called Glenelg. Of course it was sooo long ago now i don't remember much about it. I do know though that I look just like my mother did
Im getting quite lazy now in my old age, im happy just to relax and occasionally play with a few of my fav toys. I like sleeping a lot, sunny days, getting out in the car and trips to dornoch on my holidays in the summer time.

Homer Louis Randholph III, 3 June 1927, Paducah, Kentucky, USA, d. 3 July 2007, Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Known as Mr. Saxophone, Randolph was of that self-contained caste that improvised the orthodox Nashville sound from a notation peculiar to city studios, and thus had first refusal on countless daily record dates in Music City USA until well into the 60s. Although the western swing element of C&W had always admitted woodwinds, his employment was vital in widening the genres range of instrumentation, as the country capital beckoned purveyors of more generalized pop. Indeed, as a solo star, Randolph entered the US pop charts himself with 1963s Yakety Sax tour de force. As well as refashioning on disc the diversity of Tequila, Hi-Heel Sneakers, Willie And The Hand Jive and Bridge Over Troubled Water, he also ventured into the soul field with a version of...

How to Avoid Rusting Our Soul with a Corroded Life (33 of 37) by John Barnett
This content is part of a series.How to Avoid Rusting Our Soul with a Corroded Life (33 of 37)
Series: Authentic Christian Living
John Barnett
James 5:1-6
Turn in your Bibles to James 5:1-6. I want you to follow along as I read them. As you open there, you are opening to the first book that was written in the New Testament before the Apostles wrote the Gospels, before Paul began writing his Epistles. The first church at Jerusalem, the first pastor of that church was the Lord's own brother James. He of course is the first one to address the dangers that that fledgling church-numbering in the thousands-was going to face. He did that by telling them what an authentic Christian looks like. As I read verses 1-6 we are looking at-listen to this carefully-how to avoid rusting our souls by having a corroded life. You say what does that mean? Well that's what James is talking about--- now here in Tulsa you might not think of it but I grew up in the north country and if you didn't wash the salt out and if you didn't protect the inside of your car--- those hollow spaces where water seeps in--- if that ice preventing salt got in and you didn't do anything about it pretty soon your whole car corroded. My car-you used to be able to see to the ground when you were sitting in it and when you went over mud puddles the water splashed in because it was corroded. In the trunk you could see the gas tank. It's just an amazing thing to have a corroded car. It's a deadly thing to have a corroded soul. Listen to what James says starting in verse 1:
1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. ...

Can you tell me what ports need to be open on my workstations. Right now we are using a policy in active directory to have firewall settings turned on for all workstations. We have made port exceptions for Symantec av 10.1. I am using a domain admin account and I still have a lot of unknowns showing up. The firewall is turned off on the computer that is running spiceworks. I don't know a whole lot about WMi. Seems like if i'm using a domain admin account I should be ok, without messsing with WMI settings. Maybe i'm wrong, but lets start with ports that need to open for communications

A new report claims Google is working on a laptop set for release in 2017 that could be the first device to run the 'Andromeda' OS.
The report from AndroidPolice cites "two independent and reliable sources" as confirming the company's plans for the new device, said to be nicknamed 'Pixel 3'.
Google will reportedly release the laptop, officially known internally as 'Bison', as soon as Q3 2017.
But what makes this particular hardware special is the claim that it will be the first device to feature Google's combined Android/Chrome OS platform, known as 'Andromeda'.
AndroidPolice says it is 'extremely confident' that this will be the case, and that the Pixel 3 will not be branded as a Chromebook.
Related: iPhone 7
Google has recently made certain Android apps available on its Chrome OS desktop platform, but Andromeda is thought to be a distinct project.
The company has long-been promising a combination of its two operating systems, and is expected to reveal more about the project at the Pixel and Pixel XL launch event next week.
Andromeda is said to involve combining Chrome features into Android, rather than vice versa.
The report itself is, of course, unconfirmed by Google, and is likely to remain that way. AndroidPolice says its sources are 'legitimate and trustworthy' however, so take what you will from that.
Bison itself is said to be an ultra-thin laptop with a 12.3-inch display that could be capable of supporting a tablet mode – hinting at a possible hybrid design.
The machine is expected to feature an Intel m3 or Core i5 chip with either 32 or 128GB of storage and 8 or 16GB of RAM.
Elsewhere, there's a fingerprint scanner, two USB-C ports, a headphone jack, and stylus support with a Wacom pen which will be sold separately.
On top of that, further expected features include stereo speakers, quad microphones, and a battery said to last 10 hours.
And it doesn't end there. A backlit keyboard and glass trackpad with haptic and force capabilities are also said to be part of the new device.

What's more, the sources have even provided a possible price for the Pixel 3, which is expected to go on sale for $799 in the US when it launches.
Again, there's no way to confirm any of this, so take it all with due caution. But as the report notes, the idea of Andromeda debuting on a laptop fits with a previous report from the Wall Street Journal which claims as much.
That's all we've got for now but we'll await Google's announcement on October 4 in the mean time.

- People Against Galliano.
People for Galliano at Parsons.: Students Have the Right To Learn from Galliano.
Students need to know the knowledge of fashion design from one of the Industry Masters. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for students to get a one on one with Galliano and experience the true techniques and process of design. We live in a world where we are abondoned by the things we say, yes he said some offensive comments, but we can not let that disrupt our learning process. We must look forward and give people second chances. John Galliano deserves a second chance.
This is a petition to keep Galliano at Parsons for the Master Class. Galliano has not been let go. This is a fight to keep Galliano at Parsons and a fight against the "anti" petition. As of now Galliano is staying at Parsons for the 3 day Masterclass.

Santa Fe Advances to MFC Finals via Dunk Display
Published February 24th, 2014
Loading Video...
Gainesville, FL – The Santa Fe Saints trailed by six with just minutes to go in their Mid-Florida Conference tournament game against Florida State College-Jacksonville, but rallied to defeat the Blue Wave, holding them scoreless over the final 3:50 to pick up the win. The Saints will now face off against the College of Central Florida on Tuesday, February 25 at 7:30 PM with the winner moving on to the FCSAA State Tournament.
The win was the fourth in a row this season for SF (22-8, 5-4 MFC) over FSC-J, but this one was by far the most difficult.
"FSC-J did a nice job tonight and we were not very good to say the least, on defense," said SF Coach Chris Mowry. "We'd better be a lot better tomorrow if we want to beat the Patriots."
Santa Fe took an early 10-8 lead but quickly fell behind by as many as eight before fighting back to make it a 38-34 FSC-J lead at the half.
In the second half FSC-J answered every Santa Fe rally with a run of their own and held a 68-62 lead with 3:50 remaining after an Osborn Blount floater.
Jordan Banks cut the margin to four with a layup and just seconds later Jon Hood took an outlet pass off a Reggie Hart steal all the way to the rack to make it a 68-66 game.
FSC-J missed a wide open three on the ensuing possession and Jordan Banks slammed home a missed layup at the other end to tie the ball game at 68-68.
Needing another defensive stop the Saints stepped up again, forcing an off-balance three from Blount to give SF the ball back with 50 seconds left.
Hart took the ball at the top of the key and drove all the way to the basket, adjusting in mid-air to finish the layup and give Santa Fe the 70-68 lead.
Morris Marshall had a chance to put the game away at the free throw line with 10 seconds left but missed the front end of the one and one, keeping the game alive for FSC-J.
On their final possession, the Saints played it smart and fouled with 1.8 seconds, committing just their fifth team foul. Lenny Ruffin took the inbound pass and launched a 30 footer that hit the front of the rim and secured the win for SF.
"Really proud of our guys for finding a way to win that basketball game," Mowry commented after the game. "We did a much better job in the second half taking care of the ball and some guys stepped up when we needed them to.
SF had 10 turnovers in a sloppy first half, but committed just one in the second half.
The Saints once again dominated the boards, outrebounding the Blue Wave 42-33, including 14-6 on the offensive end.
Jon Hood led the offense with 19 points, Reggie Hart had 18 points and seven rebounds, Morris Marshall scored 14, and Jordan Banks had nine points and nine boards.
The Saints will travel to Ocala tomorrow to take on CF at 7:30 PM with a State Tournament berth on the line.

Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, is to embark on the most heart thumping, adrenalin filled Jet Fighter Introductory Mission available.
Adrenalin - Sydney Weekender
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, is to embark on the most heart thumping, adrenalin filled Jet Fighter Strike Mission available. Live your Top Gun dream for a day in an L39 Albatros Lead in Fighter Jet. Feel the G-force and speed as your pilot performs aerobatic manoeuvres across the sky and simulates a strike attack.
In full military helmet and flight suit you'll climb aboard the Fighter Jet. Once strapped in and secured in the cockpit you will be given the final brief. Feel the power as the jet engine spools up, complete the check-list and prepare to taxi down the runway for take off. Get yourself ready for launch as 4000 pounds of pure jet thrust propels you into the atmosphere. You will be blasting along in the sleekest and most modern Jet Fighter conducting adventure flights in Australia. The L39 is capable of speeds up to 910 km/h.
Your Fighter Strike Mission will begin with a climb to the manoeuvring area up to 8000ft. You are the co-pilot with one to one communication with your pilot. The flight commences with a steep turn to introduce you to the feeling of positive G. Feel the amazing high performance of the L-39 Albatros Fighter Jet as the pilot flies you through the aileron roll, barrel roll, loop, 4 point hesitation roll, Cuban 8 and the vertical roll if you dare. Prepare to move into position for your strike attack - a positioning run at low level and high speed towards the enemy target with a simulated delivery of fire power and weaponry, finishing with a high speed getaway! Cruise back to the airport for a mission debrief.

Best thrill of my life ...could have done it all again the minute we landed
I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and even though he had never been in an aeroplane before, he absolutely loved it and can't wait for the next time. The staff were so friendly, warm and professional, even when our son was upset because dad had gone in the fast plane, they managed to calm him down, which not many people can do... Recommended to everyone it's a once in a lifetime opportunity
My experience with Jet ride at Cessnock was one of the best things i have ever done, everyone involved on the day made me feel confident and safe in what we were about to go and do. Cant speak highly enough of all of them and especially the pilots, loved it.
Hi I travelled to the Hunter Valley from Brisbane and there rain on the day of the flight so Mark could not fly the jet fighter. Luckily the sun came out in patches on the Sunday and Mark could get me onto the Jet fighter, they went out of there way to make it happen before we had to fly back to Brisbane. Awesome family bussiness. Regards Randal Canning
Loved it. Best 15 minutes of my life (don't tell the Mrs).
the jet fighter flight was great fun and can recommend it to anyone
Most amazing life changing experience EVER! Thank you Phillip Frawley and Mark Pracy for making this unforgettable.
It was an amazing experience! The people there are so helpful! Awesome experience!
Thanks to adrenaline for making the experience so easy Will definitely use you again Michelle

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the rack installed on my truck. The only thing that was a bit hazy was which clamps should be fitted with the lock. Both front, both rear, opposite sides, I put both of mine on the front and after giving some thought switched to one front, one back, same sides. The other slight inconvenience for an older person is the numbers on the uprights are very hard to see with black embossed on black. So far it has easily held 12 ft 2 x 4's. 10 ft plastic pipe.

UFO Stories
2010 UFO sightings above Chinese cities stun many...
There has been a rash of UFO sightings and reports over China for October 2010.
These are some sensational UFO incidents! Some of the UFO stories are how they
have shut down airports and even caused an entire Chinese village to disappear!
The latest UFO spotted above China was in the southern city of Kunming. The
Kunming UFO Research Association was asked to identify silver saucer-shaped
objects hovering up in the skies above China. They were photographed by Dong Rong
while attempting to capture snapshots of the city's night scenes from West Mountain.
Two UFOs were in his photos.
Saucer flying over Kungming,
China shocks UFO reports!
Other UFOs were recently
spotted in China in the Shanxi
Province as well as the
Shaanxi Province. It was in the
Shaanxi province UFO event
which took place shortly after
the UFO incident in Shanxi. Of
course the alien abduction of
an entire city in China is only a
rumor. Both provinces are
located in the center of China.
Chinese UFO Hysteria?
There really seems to be a Chinese UFO epidemic brewing overseas. Either people
are seeing true UFOs, or there is military aircraft that resembles UFO spacecraft, or
people's imagination is running rampant! Since June 30th of 2010, UFOs have been
reportedly seen in Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu, Hunan, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Guangdong, Inner
Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and now Kumning. Of all these UFO reports, only three of
them had government explanations released to local news media in order to quiet
speculation: The Sichuan UFO was reported to be a kit with a light; the Guandong
UFO was said to be plane exhaust; the Zhejiang UFO that stalled the Xiaoshan Airport
on July 7th was thought to be the result of a private plane that was misidentified.
Interestingly, the Inner Mongolia UFO closed down another airport.
UFOs in China or a cover-up / conspiracy? You decide...

On Saturday, Gardener and I went out to dinner. I took my special back-support seat, mentioned my back, and guess what? Our host also had a bad back. Immediately he flung himself on to the floor to demonstrate helpful excercises, so I joined him. Between courses we did slumping and leg-straightening excercises in our chairs and while eating we were clenching the buttocks, cervical floor and stomach simultaneously, and no one would ever have guessed.
Probably half the world has a bad back and is secretly clenching things. I am forever doing it and bending my spine this way and that, trying to stand up straight as a ramrod, because, horrors, I am growing a widow's hump! So is Rosemary. I blame a tortured adolescence. Neither of us was bold enough to throw our shoulders back and chests out in those days. Now at last we have the courage, it is almost too late. Our shoulders have locked into a curve. Soon, if we're not careful, we will be creeping about like hairpins.
But, lucky me, I only have mild pain. Olivia's was so dreadful, she crawled about the floor weeping for months, and Fielding is the King of Back and Leg Pain. He was sent to hospital with raging sciatica, given a vicious lumbar puncture and a spine full of ink. How he longed to run away in his pyjamas like the Elephant Man, but his wife would not allow it. Perhaps she suspected him of misconduct. "Back pain is especially common in men who have been twizzling themselves into obscure sexual positions," says Fielding. The doctor told him so.
If only. Poor Fielding had done no such thing. His back was nowhere near pliable enough. It is some consolation to him that, because of his delicate back, he can never do gardening or domestic work, or even pick up a feather, but can only lie down and watch footer.
"We haven't evolved properly," explains Fielding from his sofa. "We aren't meant to stand upright." No hope, then, for Rosemary's living room.

Occasionally going out for a beer, but ive got pretty low tolerance.
An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway
Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path
Every moment points towards the aftermath
Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town
Hopeless urchins from the city gather round
Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide
Every battle heads toward surrender towards both sides
And I am coming home to you
With my own blood in my mouth
And I am coming to you
If it's the last thing that I do
Elves move in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
And a rabbit gives up somewhere, and a dozen hawks descend
Every moment leads toward its own sad end
Ships loosed from their moorings capsize and then they're gone
Sailors with no captains watch awhile and then move on
And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction
All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection
I am coming home to you
With my own blood in my mouth
And I am coming to you
If it's the last thing that I do

I don't know what parents are teaching thier children but it sure isn't caution or patience(not including the parents on this forum). I don't hand out candy on Halloween due to my faith for one reason. The other is the increasingly aggressive nature of the Trick or treaters in our neighborhood. I had the lights turned out on my house, because when I was a child my parents taught me that is a sign the person doesn't want you approaching their house. I had one group approach my house and ring the door bell a couple of times. The second group were more aggressive, they rang the door bell three times, beat their fists on the door and walked off. the last group responded like the second group, but kicked my door a couple of times. I found dents in my storm door this morning. Next year I think I will leave the lights on and post a sign on my door and in my yard that says"We don't hand out treats" Is that being silly? Any other suggestions?
I forgot to mention the second group tried to pull the storm door open(they were children because I heard their voices).
You definitely gotta watch those who are on a mission. Be it suicide bombers, religious fanatics, or overzealous trick or treaters...... Always be ready! Little sugar addicts anyway.
Garden hose usually does the trick.
"The flock sleep peaceably in their pasture at night because Sheepdogs stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
We dont get tricker treaters at my house. The neighbors all take their kids to the mall. That and I think the dogs scare everyone.
I know not what this "overkill" means.
Honing the knives, Cleaning the longguns, Stocking up ammo.
Porch lights off should be enough of a sign to decent folks.
Get a big dog.
God is love (1 John 4:8)
AWDeanSr, I had my lights turned off (even in the house) and they still came up to the door. Hence my frustration.
A bucket of water from the roof should get the point across.
Do you have sprinklers on a control panel you can access from the inside?
"Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death." -- General Omar Bradley
If I can get the quote from my pastor right. Trick or treaters would charge into hell with a squirt gun for some candy. We did the trunk or treat rounds. The one's that came by my mom's were well behaved. Sorry to hear the kids in your area are so poorly parented.
It's the older blighters who give it all a bad name. The worst of them can feel empowered to kick and dent your door, in their demanding and exasperating cretin manner, are exactly the ones whose zealotry will extend to doing something nastier to your home when you document your refusal to give them gifts in writing. It might be rotten fruit, or a bag of feces. It might be a spray painting of your door/entry area, tossing a few raw eggs (aka, paint stripper) at your home or car's hood, or the breaking of windows in the car in your driveway.
Caution, since such people who take "your refusal" as a diss will think it's their right to do you and yours damage that night in recompense.
What else can you do? In past years, when it has gotten ugly and bad in a neighborhood, that way, I've put up mounds of the fake spiderweb stuff to block the doorway area, placed a little tub of small candy out by the sidewalk, then turned off the light and gone elsewhere. So far, at least, I've not been hit in the way I describe above, since using this method. Previously, when it appears that I was home but wouldn't come out, that is when retribution followed. If you haven't yet experienced it, you don't know what you're missing.
Hallowe'en. There's nothing else quite like it.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Most of the children in our neighborhood have grown up and moved on. The kids that we have come by are from blocks away. I have not participated in Halloween in a few years because of this. I find it appealling to sit on the front porch in the dark and enjoy a drink and a cigar while watching the kids. Many times I have had them start up the front walk only to see me sitting in the shadows and have them back away. It also lets them know that I am watching. It is truly amazing how well behaved they can be as they pass from one house to another when they know they are being watched.
It does surprise me a bit that in this day and age that parents have not taught most kids to raise their awareness as they pass through the neighborhoods.
Sometimes you find your destiny on the road you chose to avoid it.

'Attractive Convict' Sues Over Use Of Her Mugshot
Her name is Meagan Simmons, but she is better known across the Internet as "attractive inmate" thanks to a sultry mugshot that followed her arrest on DUI charges in 2010. While the Florida resident has embraced her new found fame to some extent, she's now drawing a line, and has filed suit against InmateCheck.com, which offers background checks and has been using her mugshot without permission. (It's accompanied by the words, "Sometimes the cute ones aren't innocent.") Mugshots are typically fair game for public use, but "at the end of the day, this is actually about intellectual property," her attorney says. "If someone is going to use your image, they need to pay you for it." The mother of four got a kick out of the attention when the photo first went viral, even saying she'd be willing to pose for Playboy. "It was nice and funny at first, and then it started getting scary," she said last year. "I have four little people to worry about, not just myself."
