DataBindingHandler Class
Provides a base class for a data-binding handler.
Assembly: System.Design (in System.Design.dll)
The DataBindingHandler type exposes the following members.
|Initializes a new instance of the DataBindingHandler class.
|Binds the specified control.
|Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
|Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
|Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
|Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
|Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
|Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
DataBindingHandler provides a base class for data-binding handlers. A data-binding handler can be used within a designer to perform data-binding to enable a meaningful display of the control on the design surface. Typically a control's designer is responsible for this functionality. However, when a control is not live on the design surface, such as within the template of another control, it does not have a designer, and this functionality is provided by a data-binding handler if one has been specified with a DataBindingHandlerAttribute in the code for the control.
To use a data-binding handler, the control which has the data-bound property or properties must have a DataBindingHandlerAttribute specified within its code that indicates the type of data-binding handler to use.
For example, the Label control is associated with the TextDataBindingHandler class through a DataBindingHandlerAttribute in the code for the Label class. Within a template for a DataList, a Label control whose text property has been data bound displays the word "DataBound" on the label. Without the data-binding handler, the label would be invisible at design-time, as it does not have a designer to bind its data-bound properties while in a templated control at design-time.
To implement a data-binding handler, define a new class that derives from this class and implement the DataBindControl method to set the appropriate properties.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2

Long Life Puja Fund
To understand why a long life puja is essential, we must understand the value of the Guru. He is our guide in this life, the bardo, and future lives. He is immensely important. It is not a case where if we ask him to live he will, and vice-versa, but that to offer such a ceremony purifies our own broken samayas.
Photos • Videos • Donate to Long Life Pujas for His Holiness the Dalai Lama • Donate to Long Life Pujas for Lama Zopa Rinpoche
One of the most moving ceremonies in Tibetan Buddhism is the long life puja for a teacher, an elaborate display of devotion towards a spiritual guide comprising heartfelt prayers and praises, and a procession of symbolic offerings. The purpose of the long life puja is for students to purify the mistakes that occur in relation to their teacher, and to create the causes and conditions to continue to receive benefit from that teacher for a very long time.
The essential practice for creating the cause for the guru's long life is harmony between students. Additionally, our devotion to our teachers is best expressed by following their advice, which includes offering service. By maintaining harmony, following our teachers' advice and offering long life pujas, FPMT students are accumulating the merit needed for our precious gurus to stay in the world with us for a long time.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche also mentions regularly that offering long life pujas is a cause for one's own long life.
An important priority for FPMT is offering long life pujas every year for our immeasurably precious teachers: His Holiness the Dalai Lama and our Spiritual Director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche. All FPMT centers, projects and services as well as many FPMT students contribute to these annual pujas.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche offered the following advice in response to requests by students to help them understand how best to prolong the life of the guru, and how to avoid obstacles that can cause him sickness and a shortened life. More….
Long Life Puja for His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Lama Zopa Rinpoche requested the FPMT organization to offer a Long Life Puja to His Holiness the Dalai Lama every year. FPMT International Office has taken on this responsibility for twenty years, and will continue to do so, on behalf of the entire organization.
As the spiritual guide for six million Tibetans, as Lama Zopa Rinpoche's guru, as a recipient of the Noble Peace Prize, and as an ambasador for promoting each individual's universal responsibility toward humankind and the environment, His Holiness serves as a living symbol for world peace.
"In Praise of His Holiness the Dalai Lama" was composed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Praise to His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a collection of comments from Lama Zopa Rinpoche's Online Advice Book
You can watch videos of these incredible offerings of veneration on our Long Life Puja Fund Videos page.
Long Life Puja for Lama Zopa Rinpoche
The annual long life puja for Lama Zopa Rinpoche, offered on behalf of the entire FPMT organization, is usually held after the legendary one month course at Kopan Monastery in Nepal, or after the organization's international CPMT meeting, or at another time considered most beneficial.
Additionally, as Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme (Khadro-la) indicated in April 2013 that for Lama Zopa Rinpoche's health and long life FPMT needs to offer more long life pujas to Rinpoche with the offering and request to the five dakinis, FPMT, through the Lama Zopa Rinpoche Long Life Puja Fund, now makes a donation to every single long life puja that is offered to Lama Zopa Rinpoche in addition to sponsoring the annual long life puja.
When the long life puja is offered at Kopan Monastery, over 1,000 attendees, made up of November course participants, monks, nuns and local Sherpas, participate. The ritual itself is the extensive Lama Chöpa with an added request to the dakinis, a moving plea by the students for the five dakinis who have come to take away the teacher to a pure land to allow the students' teacher to remain with them on earth.
Please watch a moving video of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's long life puja in Bodhgaya, India January 2, 2012, offered by all the monks of Sera Je Monastery, Kopan Monastery and FPMT. Filmed and directed by Matteo Passigato.

festus: We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths.
Agrippa said to festus, "I should like to hear the man myself."
"Then I am glad he has not sold me one of his own," said festus Clasby.
There is no doubt that the line is from Ennius; it is also quoted as his in festus, p. 355.
But they both—and more particularly festus Willard—appreciated the courage and honor of the "Clarion's" new standards.
You see now, most noble festus, the reason of my journey hitherwards.
Then, unhappily, festus--who was a just and good governor--died, and Albinus succeeded him.
Wurzburg, where festus and Paracelsus had been as students, is on its banks.
None of you need fear anything; you have my assurances; I am here by the permission of the noble festus.
Anne felt the presence of the swashing festus, and stopped her reading.

DeMarcus Cousins had 25 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists as the host Sacramento Kings snapped the 10-game winning streak of the New Orleans Hornets with a 102-96 victory on Saturday.
It was the second major upset in two nights for the Kings (12-33) after they stunned the Los Angeles Lakers 100-95 on Friday for the first of two unlikely victories for one of the NBA's worst franchises.
Tyreke Evans scored 18 points and Samuel Dalembert added 16 for the Kings, who led by 10 points at halftime and held off a late New Orleans surge.
David West scored 21 points for New Orleans (31-17), while Chris Paul had 19 points and seven assists.
Sacramento led 96-90 after Evans' basket with 3:21 left. New Orleans seemed intent on pulling off a late comeback when it moved within two on West's 15-footer with 1:43 remaining.
But just as Sacramento held off the Lakers' charge on Friday, the Kings stymied the Hornets as a tip-in by Dalembert with 53.4 seconds left started a 6-0 run. Beno Udrih and Dalembert each added two free throws to give the Kings an eight-point lead with 20.6 seconds left.
Marcus Thornton added 16 points for the Hornets, who had last played on Wednesday.

The Benefits of Globalization: Man Outsources Own Job to China
Man outsources his own job to China
The last several presidential campaigns have seen increasing angst over the outsourcing of American jobs to lower-wage locales such as China and Southeast Asia. One enterprising software coder, however, took advantage of this new era of liberal labor rules by outsourcing his own job to China:
A security audit of a US critical infrastructure company last year revealed that its star developer had outsourced his own job to a Chinese subcontractor and was spending all his work time playing around on the internet....
After getting permission to study Bob's computer habits, Verizon investigators found that he had hired a software consultancy in Shenyang to do his programming work for him, and had FedExed them his two-factor authentication token so they could log into his account. He was paying them a fifth of his six-figure salary to do the work and spent the rest of his time on other activities.
The analysis of his workstation found hundreds of PDF invoices from the Chinese contractors and determined that Bob's typical work day consisted of:
9:00 a.m. – Arrive and surf Reddit for a couple of hours. Watch cat videos
11:30 a.m. – Take lunch
1:00 p.m. – Ebay time
2:00-ish p.m – Facebook updates, LinkedIn
4:30 p.m. – End-of-day update e-mail to management
5:00 p.m. – Go home
Not only did "Bob" outsource his own job -- he took jobs at other firms and outsourced them as well. He is now out of a job. Truly, globalization giveth and globalization taketh away.

• With all that has been going on at News International, one supposes there would be much to discuss between old boy Murdoch and the independent directors of the Times. Not that speaking to Rupe would make them any less independent, or that he would seek to make it so. But as regards the editorship of the Times and the Sunday Times and whether the two might merge – very much a bone of contention – it might help relations. So when he who must be feared and obeyed threw that now celebrated dinner party last week, with invites for company execs, and Boris and the feted actor Damian Lewis, some assumed that a few directors might grace his table. They were wrong. Did you think of inviting them, the host was asked. The reply? Sounded much like: "Fuck 'em."
• High jinks in Whitehall following claims in the Mirror that "senior civil servants wore party hats as they made a game out of deciding where to make savage cuts" at the Department for Education. It all stems from a leaked blog by the department's finance director, Simon "Joker" Judge, who revealed that "we all had to say what we were stopping as part of the DfE review, and we could then take our hat off". The unions, unsurprisingly, were unamused, especially as the paper claimed that the game was part of a process to find 1,000 job cuts. That bit is strongly denied by the department. It says the game was for managers to say how they intended to improve themselves. All a funny business. But then "Joker" Judge has form when it comes to seeing the funny side of things. Former colleagues at the Culture department remember well his regular April Fool pranks. On 31 March 2010 he set them chuckling when, as director of finance, he instructed dozens of colleagues throughout the DCMS, as well as other government departments and agencies, to provide urgent advice on every aspect of a "plan" to stage the British Grand Prix in Hyde Park. Coming as it did from the top, this apparently resulted in many working to prepare reports and commission further work to meet Joker's deadline of noon the following day. The following year he tried the same trick again, this time tricking a different set of officials around government plans to sell the Tote. The exact cost to public funds of all this has never been calculated, but then you can't put a price on a good laugh can you?
• The news continues to be bad for Chelsea's Eden Hazard, as the police muse over a strategy for dealing with the incident in which the midfielder is accused of kicking a ballboy who wouldn't return the ball. Despite strong support for Hazard from other players, the FA seems likely to punish him with a lengthy ban. By contrast, ballboy Charlie Morgan seems to be having a reasonable time of things. He may have lost his chance to repeat the trick and lie on the ball during next month's international between Wales and Austria. But, he's on the map. Today he has 104,000 followers on Twitter. After last week's reference to this matter, we hear from the former Chelsea and Scotland star Pat Nevin, a discerning Guardian reader, who points out that we rather mis-stated his position. It wasn't that he too would have kicked the ballboy. It was that, in his view, Hazard merely attempted to extract the ball from under the ballboy; and that faced with the same conundrum, he'd have probably done the same thing. This does seem a reasonable stance for a Guardianista.
• More news on Claire Khaw, the outspoken activist-cum-"British nationalist philosopher", who was thrown out of the Conservative party a couple of weeks ago, having snuck on to the membership list late last year. Things keep happening to Claire. She tells us that last week, having posted questionable stuff about Tourette's on her blog, she was arrested and spent a day at a south London police station. They have taken away her computer, which may be just as well.
• Finally, from the New York Times, news of a raffle organised by police chiefs in New Hampshire. The prize? Thirty-one guns, including semi-automatic rifles, donated by local gun manufacturers. We aren't that different. But we ain't the same.

Bilstein PSS strut problem
Hey guys, just an FYI. About two years ago, I had a Bilstein B14 PSS kit installed in my 540. New shock/strut mounts at the same time. Love the kit, handles and rides great, but after a bit over a year, I started getting a faint, intermittent knock from my front suspension. Figured it was time (over 140k miles) to start replacing much of the front end, so went ahead and installed new everything...center, left and right steering tie rods, new thrust arms with the Meyle HD bushing upgrade, new control arms, new end links, new sway bar bushings...everything but sub frame bushings. But the knock persisted. Had one strut mount replaced and the knock went away for about a month, then returned...and has only gotten worse over the winter.
I finally took it to a really good shop called Group 2 Motorsports here in Seattle, and they did a very detailed inspection, test drive and diagnosis and traced it to both front struts! Right side was worse than left, but both were doing it. I contacted Bilstein for warranty help, and they said "no problem, send them in". This is my daily driver, so no go, and asked them to sell me replacements, and credit me when I return the old ones....problem is they do not normally stock the B14 PSS kit for older cars like the E39 540/M5 much anymore....I had to wait two months for them to get back into stock. Well they finally came in and were sent to me this week and installed today. FIXED! No more annoying knock (it was mostly as low speeds).
I will be contacting Bilstein USA for an RMA authorization to return the old ones and get my credit. Labor and alignment is still expensive, as is shipping, but at least it is fixed.
Just an FYI, and wondering if anyone else has experienced this with Bilstein, either their regular sport/HD, as well as the PSS kits?
I have always heard Bilstein are top notch quality, but this has kind of shaken my confidence. I am not a super agressive driver, and the car is not slammed really low either.
I am happy with the Bilstein customer service, just wish they had these in stock and I didn't have to wait so long...otherwise, it all turned out fine. Just hope the new ones don't have a repeat of this issue.

Corals belong to a group of animals that also includes sea anemones and jellyfish, all of which have a radially symmetrical body, like the spokes of a wheel. In corals this body plan is in the form of a more or less cylindrical polyp having a mouth surrounded by feeding tentacles on its upper surface, just like a sea anemone. However, unlike anemones, corals form a hard skeleton which is commonly fossilized. Coral polyps may be either solitary or joined together to form large colonies. Colonial corals form reefs, such as the massive Great Barrier Reef of Queensland. Extensive deposits of fossil corals indicate that large coral reefs existed at many times during the history of life on Earth, although the earliest fossil reefs were built by corals that were very different from those living today.
Fossil coral colony, Lithostrotion sp.Artist: Kate Nolan / Source: Museum Victoria
Corals were abundant throughout the Palaeozoic Era, between 545 and 251 million years ago (mya). In eastern and central Victoria both colonial and solitary corals are found in Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks, especially limestones, that were deposited during the late Silurian and early Devonian periods (420 to 400 mya). Fossils of small solitary corals occur in much younger Tertiary clays and marls between 30 and 5 million years old, especially in the Torquay, Geelong and Mornington districts.
Fossil solitary coral, Placotrochus magnusSource: Museum Victoria
Two groups of corals are prominent fossils in Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks: rugose corals, which included forms that constructed colonies as well as solitary forms; and the tabulate corals, which were exclusively colonial. Both groups were involved in the formation of reefs. Rugose and tabulate corals became extinct at the end of the Palaeozoic (251 mya), after which the modern reef-building corals, or scleractinians, arose early in the Mesozoic Era. Rugose and tabulate corals are believed to have lived in warm, clear, shallow seas, as do the scleractinians that build reefs at the present day.
Although the tropical waters of Queensland and other parts of the world are famous for their vast coral reefs, corals also inhabit cold seas. Living examples of solitary coral polyps and also small coral colonies can be found on reefs in southern Australia, including Port Phillip Bay.
Common species of fossil coral from Victoria are exhibited in the Marine Invertebrate Fossil Drawers in the Melbourne Museum Discovery Centre.

Hello Jade
Thank you for your question and of course it is impossible to say absolutely what these corals looked like when alive because they became extinct so long ago (over 200 million years). However they were rugose corals and a useful likely description for you is found here. Note that they may often be termed Siphonodendron now rather than Lithostrotion for the name of the genus. The animals would have been likely to be colourless though colours may have been associated with them and their colonies or reefs, due to the presence of algae living there also.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Have a takeaway at home and SAVE!
While takeaway meals can be tempting as a Friday night treat - or just because there's nothing in the fridge - a weekly $30 takeaway will add up to more than $1,200 over the course of a year. However, have the ingredients ready and you'll spend the same amount of time (and a fraction of the price) making a takeaway at home. "It really doesn't take any longer to prepare a meal at home than it does to order it over the phone and have it delivered, or get in the car, wait in the queue and bring it home",confirms Cath Armstrong, author of Saving Money is Easy .
Here are her five ideas for having a takeaway at home, plus Kidspot's easy takeaway recipes.
1) Pizza pitas
Pizza is the ultimate takeaway quick-fix but the greasy variety that you often get with junk mail coupons are not necessarily saving you money by the time you add garlic bread, fizzy drink and delivery cost to the mix. Do your wallet and your family's health a favour by making pizza at home the easy way. Use pita bread as a base if you don't want to make a yeast dough (even though that's really easy, too). Spread with tomato sauce or pasta sauce and add your toppings: grated cheese, pineapple and sliced tomato are easy to prepare and you can also use leftover meats with tomato sauce and cheese," suggests Cath.
Try this grilled pizza with sausage onion and capsicum, the sausage topping will give your kids extra protein, while capsicum provides a sweet source of vitamins.
More pizza recipes:
- Check out Kidspot Kitchen's pizza section for oodles of topping inspiration and pizza recipes.
2) Fish and chips
Fresh fish should be a regular part of both your and your children's diets, with omega-3s boosting behaviour and mood. You can make this a takeaway treat by simply adding some hot chips to your kids' plates, says Cath. "Use frozen or fresh potatoes and cut potatoes into chips or wedges and serve with salad."
For a healthy twist on this classic takeaway favourite, try this fish and chips recipe - minus the saturated fat, as there's no deep frying.
More fish ideas:
3) Hamburgers on sourdough
"A good hamburger is hard to find and they are definitely better homemade," says Cath, who suggests you make your own burgers that are not only tastier, but more filling and healthy than a 'Happy Meal'.
With a sourdough bun, this recipe is child and adult-friendly. Just serve the meat patties on the table with bowlfuls of cheese, avocado, tomato and beetroot, so your children can build their own personalised burgers
More hamburger recipes:
4) Chicken fried rice
"Fried rice, stir-fries and Singapore noodles are all quick and easy to prepare," advises Cath.
This yummy fried rice contains four different vegetables - capsicum, peas, onion and spring onion - and if you chop these veggies finely, your children won't pick them out. Taking just ten minutes to cook, this fried rice is speedier than digging out a takeaway menu and calling up to place your order.
More fried rice ideas:
5) Chicken satay skewers
Marinate these chicken skewers for 30 minutes in satay sauce ahead of time (either homemade or from a jar). Then it's no trouble to cook up these takeaway treats in around six minutes when the hungry hordes arrive at the dinner table.

Since USB's are so versatile, as they can be used to share files at work, school, or even between friends, such portable disk drives are needed by everyone. Not only are USB's very beneficial to productivity, they are also cheap. At C2BPromo, we strongly believe that the small gift of a USB is one of the best forms of promotional products.
These USB's will not only store important documents but will also be used frequently. Your logo will be imprinted onto the casing of the USB, reminding your customers that you are assisting them everywhere they go in everything they do. However, everyone has lost something at least once before. Things most commonly lost are usually small objects such as coins or keys. With USB's, we know that those small USB caps are easily misplaced and can fit into the smallest of crevices. Without these caps, the heads of these USB's are easily damaged.
That is why C2BPromo offers alternatives to the traditional capped USB, such as retractable USB's that function similar to a "click pen" and swiveling USB's featuring a swiveling sheath. These capless USB's will prevent you from losing your USB caps while adding a stylish twist to the casing. We aim to offer businesses using our products and service the best selection of USB's. Feel free to browse between the traditional, retractable, and swiveling USB's we offer.

Rear admirable: Australia's top-selling car for the past 13 years will continue to be developed with its current architecture for at least another decade.
31 March 2009
By DAVID HASSALL
AUSTRALIANS will still be able to buy a traditional rear-wheel-drive Holden Commodore for at least the next decade, even though the General is turning to small-car production to survive as a local manufacturer.
Holden is already working on development of the next-generation Commodore, which is due in around 2013 and would be scheduled to run until at least 2020.
And the good news for enthusiasts is that it will again utilise the Zeta rear-drive platform developed at great cost for the current VE, which was launched less than three years ago in 2006.
The 2013 Commodore may be slightly smaller than VE, and almost certainly lighter, with a range of different engine options and new technology designed to make it more environmentally sound, including idle-stop and turbocharged four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines.
GM product chief Bob Lutz has said that, despite global economy mandates forcing GM to cancel programs in other countries, the rear-wheel-drive Commodore production will continue in Australia, including "the next-generation version".
In the meantime, the VE Series II is set to arrive in early 2010 with significant new technologies.
Holden has already confirmed that all its engines will be E85 ethanol-compatible by 2010 and is also set to introduce a dedicated LPG Commodore with breakthrough liquid-injection technology that promises petrol-matching power and economy.
Left: Cadillac's direct-injection 3.0-litre V6.Direct-injection is also on the cards for the standard 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine, which could improve both power and economy.
GM already produces a direct-injection version of this engine for Cadillac, which produces 225kW compared with the Commodore's current 195kW, as well as an E85-compatible 3.0-litre version that matches the current Commodore V6 for power but has better economy.
The search for efficiency will also ultimately lead to Holden offering smaller turbocharged engines some time in the future. It already builds a 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 engine for Saab, and is understood to be testing a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo in a VE Commodore.
These programs could be at the expense of the expected hybrid and diesel-powered Commodore variants.
GM Holden managing director and chairman Mark Reuss has confirmed that the Commodore has a long-term future and work continues on the next-generation model.
Mr Reuss also said that a rear-drive platform is important for the Commodore, which has been Australia's top-selling car for the past 13 years.
"The rear-wheel drive platform is sort of what Holden has been known for here and we expect that to continue," said Mr Reuss.
"There's still a great market for it here … so, as long as our customers keep telling us they want to buy our car, we'll produce it.
"(A rear-drive platform) is something we've invested in already and it's something I think we can just continue to refine and improve and bring it to different levels of efficiency. That's what we're focusing on."
Former GM Holden director and product planning chief Ian McCleave, in an interview with Wheels magazine, has also pointed to a likely refinement of the existing platform and a downscaling to reduce weight.
"With Commodore, there is opportunity to trim the car down, take some width and mass out … without losing the packaging efficiency and attributes that rear-wheel drive brings, which is handling, ride and styling proportions," said Mr McCleave.
Mr McCleave said he could see the large and medium segment cars morphing, with the only distinction being front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. Ford is already blurring the edges with its similar-looking Falcon and Mondeo.
Although Holden's embattled parent company has been forced to retreat from new global RWD large cars due largely to increasingly severe fuel economy and emissions standards, reports from the US suggest that the Zeta platform is safe there until at least 2016, with the Australian-developed Camaro likely to run to 2020.
GM engineers are said to be working on weight reduction and efficiency improvements, such as better aero and a standard six-speed automatic transmission, on all Zeta-based vehicles to keep the platform viable.

Loons Burned By Dragons
Bad inning dooms Loons in 10-2 loss at Dow Diamond
By Bruce Gunther / Great Lakes Loons | April 25, 2014 10:30 PM ET
MIDLAND, Mich. - One bad inning and one good pitcher were too much for the Great Lakes Loons to overcome Friday.
The visiting Dayton Dragons used a seven-run third inning and the pitching of former first-round draft pick Nick Traviseo to roll past the Loons 10-2 at Dow Diamond. The win pushed the Dragons a half-game ahead of the Loons in the Midwest League Eastern Division standings.
"We've had a lot of games like these that have gone our way," said Loons manager Bill Haselman. "We ended up on the short end of it tonight."
The loss was only the third in 12 games for the Loons, but the second on their current seven-game homestand. They're now 13-8 while Dayton improved to 13-7.
Traviseo, the Cincinnati Reds' top draft pick in 2012, pitched five shutout innings against the Loons league-best offense. He gave up four hits, struck out five and walked two. He's now 3-0 on the season with a 1.23 ERA.
"He threw well but it's kind of hard to judge anything when you give him a seven-run lead," said Haselman. "But he did a nice job, mixed up his pitches, and stayed ahead in the count for the most part."
The Dragons broke a scoreless tie with a big third inning. Sammy Diaz started the barrage with a leadoff double off of Loons starter Greg Harris - the first of six Dayton hits in the frame. Harris walked the next two batters, and then surrendered a two-run single to Phillip Ervin for the game's first runs.
Sean Buckley contributed another two-run single two batters later, while Joe Hudson double home two runs and Carlton Daal singled home another. By then, Harris had given way to reliever Brandon Martinez, who pitched 3.2 innings and gave up two runs.
Francisco Villa took over for Martinez in the seventh and pitched an inning and a third before having to leave with an apparent shoulder injury in his right arm.
"He felt something in the front of his shoulder," said Haselman. "I don't know anything more than that."
Mark Pope pitched the final 1.2 innings for the Loons. Harris, now 1-2, took the loss.
The Loons scored both of their runs in the seventh inning. Joey Curletta led off with a single - his third hit of the game - took third on a double by Justin Chigbogu, and then scored on an Alex Santana single. Chigbogu then came home on a sacrifice fly by Brandon Trinkwon.
Santana and Paul Hoenecke each added two hits for the Loons.
The series resumes Saturday at Dow Diamond with Loons early-season ace Jonathan Martinez, who's 3-1 with a 2.63 ERA while ranking among the MWL leaders with 26 strikeouts. He'll be opposed by the Dragons' Daniel Wright (0-0, 1.69 ERA). Game time is 6:05 p.m.
The Loons are an eighth-year Single-A partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. For tickets or more information about the team, call 989-837-BALL or visit loons.com.

Samantha is a 17-year-old from Tulsa, OK. She enjoys babysitting, sewing, drawing, crocheting, writing and anything creative. She loves to hang out with her mom and two sisters and hopes to someday work in the fashion industry.
I speak from experience, being a teenager is stressful! School, friends, extracurricular activities, relationship drama, trying to figure out financial aid for college– ugh! It all starts to build up and the anxiety and stress can be overwhelming. Sometimes teens need an outlet to just relax and relieve stress, but we tend to choose activities like playing computer games, becoming a couch potato or pigging out on ice cream and chips. The bad thing about these things is that they are neither healthy nor beneficial. Teens need a healthy way to release stress and blow off steam, so I have compiled a list of the top five healthy and fun ways to release stress.
1.) Exercise – Nature's best medicine! Exercise releases a chemical called 'Endorphins' that control the feelings of stress and frustration. Running, pilates and exercise classes are all great ways to put this suggestion in to use.
2.) Art – Painting, drawing and even coloring are all wonderful outlets for stress. Art therapy is often used as an option for managing stress and anxiety.
3.) Writing – Whether it be journaling, writing a short story, or even your own book, it is a fun way to use your imagination! Not only is this a great outlet for stress, it has also been shown to strengthen the immune system and improve cognitive functioning.
4.) Volunteer – Helping others isn't just a wonderful way to make a difference in your community, it is also a great stress reliever! Serving others is a simple and fun way to take your mind off your own problems and put things into perspective again.
5.) Eat Some Chocolate – Instead of pigging out on unhealthy junk food, grab a dark chocolate bar and snack on that instead. Studies have shown that dark chocolate reduces stress and the antioxidants contained within the chocolate, called polyphenols, contain excellent health benefits.
I hope these tips are helpful if you're the parent of an anxiety overloaded teen, or if you are a stressed out teen yourself!

The Ruger is a really great gun by the way. I almost bought one for my cowboy action but they had discontinued the finish I wanted. I went with the Uberti Cattleman line as I could get the look I wanted. Mine are all in 45 Colt and now have 3 the 4.5", 5.5" and a 7.5" barrels. Now my Rossi 92 is also in 45 Colt with the 20" Octagon barrel. All of my guns including my 12 ga. mule ear side x side shotgun are finished in case hardened and blued with walnut.
Now the Rossi had a problem of the box it that it would feed more than 3 rounds before double feeding using dummy rounds not snap caps. I called Rossi, the same day I picked it up and had it back in 7 days. Never had another problem with it feeding. Then after putting at least 1000 rounds through it. I decided to invest in the Steve Gunz DVD and kit (one package) as well as his safety plug (removes the lawyer safety very easily allowing to be put back). The DVD takes you through his tune up break down and reassemble procedures as well as his custom tune of the action, and smoothed out the feel of the gun a lot. You can check it out at Steve's Gunz Web Store, The Home of the Rossi 92 Specialist also Brownell sells some parts and sight setups also.
Now a lot of my NCOWS group shoot the 357/38 versions of the both guns and love them. Now the only problem I heard of having with the 357/38 Rossi is some of them had a problem with feeding both consistently. Now this isn't true with all but some. Now with that said the one that had a problem was with either the 38 or the 357 but not both. Now lately those that have bought them new haven't reported the problem but if so they will fix it under warranty.

The second is that we need some model that will keep us from losing our way in our pursuit of righteousness. Scripture contains many arguments to encourage us on the path of righteousness.

Why Did Jesus Heal?
from John MacArthur Mar 03, 2017 Category: ArticlesGod's fullest self-revelation as Savior came in the person of Jesus Christ—God in human flesh. The incarnation itself was an expression of sympathy and identification with our weakness (Heb. 4:15). In Christ, we can see countless expressions of divine compassion translated into human idioms that we easily understand and identify with—including sadness, sympathy, and tears of sorrow. Though sinless Himself, Jesus suffered all the consequences of sin in infinite measure—and in so suffering, He identifies with the misery of all who feel the pains of human anguish. This was the whole reason God the Son became a man: "He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted" (Heb. 2:17–18). "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin" (4:15). Keep Reading

Pixels Are People
from Nathan W. Bingham Mar 01, 2017 Category: ArticlesFive years ago, our lives radically changed. My wife and I, with our three children, moved from Australia to the United States. This decision to relocate and serve at Ligonier Ministries was significant. Our children were all under five years of age.

But more significant was that we had never been to the United States and had never met anyone from Ligonier in person. Keep Reading

Director and screenwriter Lisa Cholodenko was taking care of her own kid when she got the call about her best screenplay nomination for The Kids Are All Right, a film about a lesbian couple raising teenagers. "I was putting Fraggle Rock on the television for my son and feeding the dog," she tells USA TODAY's Arienne Thompson. Fortunately, she's been so busy promoting the movie that she hasn't had time to fret about the film's chances in the awards race.
"Truthfully, I've been on such an accelerated pace, that while I'm a bit exhausted, it's allowed me not to dwell too much on this stuff. By the time we finished this film, it was ready to show up in theaters," she says. "Obviously, you want your film to be recognized."
During a time when gay bullying has grabbed national attention, Cholodenko says she was hoping to show that we're more alike than different. "I wanted to make a film about families and alternative families and one that was more like my own," she says. "I wanted to take this family, which is outside of the box, and turn it on its head. … It says that difference is really, in a certain way, a projection. We all have the same comedies and tragedies."
Cholodenko, who is currently developing a show for HBO, is especially happy with Annette Bening and Julianne Moore's turn as a married couple, which earned them both acting nominations as well. "I couldn't be prouder. … I think they turned out performances that are totally distinguished from (others) in their career."
