Tousen was great as always, and his hollowification was EPiC.
I have 2 theories:
First is: Tousen was right about everything he said to koma, he's not corrupted the Soul Society is .. he always seeking for justice and he was searching for it everywhere he went and finally he found it with Aizen and that explain that Aizen's goal is more justice than Soul Society. It might Tousen discovered the real face behind SS and followed Aizen who was already knew everything about them.
The other theory is Tousen's mind was played by Aizen, he convinced Tousen that SS is the reason behind his friend's death and they must bring justice to this world.
I know Tousen is not stupid to believe this but maybe Aizen was so good.
To me, I will go with the first theory, I always have the feeling that SS are the Evil side (not all of them of course) but the big head of SS , their rules and thoughts are bad and evil .. im not saying Aizen is good but SS is not either.

sure it basically eliminated every sense (cept for touch/pain) from his opponent, plus his Bankai would've forced Tousen and whom ever kept in a confined space.
but in the end did we really see any sort of actual increase in Tousen's abilities while his Bankai was active?
Well, honestly, if you ask me, I didnt see any with Kenpachi in there

So it stands to reason that Vizard-Tousen would still retain the same strength and speed boosts he has right now if he were to use hollowfication + Bankai.

Yes I am not talking really
Why would Tousen use Bankai if he knows Koumura would have already seen it before. fI Tousen used his bankai he would have been playing on a equal stage with the rest of the shinigamis. But I think it would be best if he was able to do like Ichigo does use bankai with your hollow mask on like you said basically.
I wonder if him not using bankai had anything to do with the fact of the speech he said. I mean by using bankai he shows that he has not yet submitted to this form and I am still your friend. I mean after all Ichigo uses bankai in his hollow state, but he has yet to submit himself to his hollow. He is still says he is a shinigami instead of vizard like Shinji and the others(Who also don't use bankai before hollowfication)

He was attempting the pointless endeavor of trying to instill fear into a man with no fear instead of doing what was important -- winning the battle.
Otherwise, he's perfectly capable of ending a fight in a single attack with his Bankai. But only when it's convenient for the plot. The way he used his Bankai back in TBtP is a prime example of his Bankai put to good use. It'll probably never happen again though.

So even against someone who has no fear, that *shouldn't* really give them much of an advantage if his Bankai is used appropriately. Unless someone is used to fighting under the conditions his bankai creates, adapting to those conditions quick enough to avoid being blitzed from someone that fast is practically inconceivable.
We also haven't seen anyone in this series so far (aside from Tousen) who relies more so on their "mind" to attack as oppose to their eyes. Even if there was such a character in this series, they'd still have to get used to not being able to hear, smell AND sense spiritual energy. Because Tousen's Bankai blocks that too.
Remember, he's the only one in this entire series so far, who never has to worry about getting caught in hypnosis. So it's not like Aizen could use that to escape.
*removed for spoilers*
So Aizen losing to Tousen and his Bankai wouldn't be too unbelievable if Tousen went straight in for the kill.
Truthfully, there's only a very small number of characters in this entire series who'd stand a decent chance against Tousen and his bankai (assuming Tousen played it smart and went straight for a fatal blow every time)
-anyone with high speed regeneration capabilities (minus any weak fodder hollows)
-Ichigo (for having plot-kai that holds no bounds)
-Yamamoto (for having insane area-of-effect/AoE attacks).

Besides, even if he could make it towards a wall, he'd still have a problem. The width of his sword is just too short to make swinging recklessly in front (or all around him) a safe thing to do. To put what I'm stating into perspective a little bit, Gin would basically need nothing short of the ability to swing a tall and very long wall back and forth, really fast, without falter in order to ensure Tousen stays far away and can't simply jump or crouch under each swing. Otherwise, Tousen could just as easily use shunpo to take advantage of a missed attempt. Without the ability to see or hear, keeping him at bay would be pretty difficult to do since he'd lack the senses needed to adjust the height of each swing (in order to force Tousen into evading/blocking each time).
The last thing I wanted to point out is that Gin rarely uses shinsou to make extremely long, broad, side-sweeping swings (even when he can see). He seems to mostly take advantage of it's ability to expand and contract far distances really fast making Shinsou first and foremost used like a high powered gun -- hence the release command "shoot to kill". Now if I had to take a guess as to why that is, I'd have to assume it's because swinging around a blade while it's at such an impractical length just isn't very...practical. If the blade is too long, it's too slow to swing, too easy to see coming, and too easy for the opponent to make a counter-attack if & when evaded. So I'm not sure the tactic would be all that beneficial even with all of Gin's senses still in-tact.

I'd say that Byakuya could defeat Tousen's bankai with Senbonzakura Kageyoshi - either by spamming the area with petals (defending and attacking) until he got a hit (he should be able to feel if his weapons hit) or using them to help him feel out (as they should be able to change into many forms) and keeping a couple of his 2nd form swords to attack with - although that probably wouldn't happen, as in the Bleach universe, having an attack plan is for wusses apparently

Channing Tatum has been a street dancer in Step Up, a gun-toting cop in White House Down and a stripper in Magic Mike. But one thing he has never been, until now, is someone who is taken seriously.
The huge career shift that's on the horizon for the beefcake is not coming courtesy of his new comedy sequel 22 Jump Street, in which he and Jonah Hill return as lovably roguish undercover cops who go back to college to bust a drug ring, but thanks to Foxcatcher, the wrestling drama that premiered at the the Cannes Film Festival to a standing ovation and earned a Best Director prize for Bennett Miller.
Now being hailed as an Oscar frontrunner, the 34-year-old one-time Sexiest Man Alive pronounces himself surprised at all the buzz.
"It's really interesting to be sitting here with you, 10 years after Step Up," he says with giddy enthusiasm while on the promotional trail in New York for 22 Jump Street. "I feel like I've learned a lot and I'm at an evolutionary turn in my career, and Foxcatcher is the next phase where people may sit up and be surprised."
Based on the true story of the Olympic wrestling champion Mark Schultz (Tatum), whose brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo) is murdered by his paranoid schizophrenic mentor John du Pont (Steve Carell), Foxcatcher has earned Tatum rave reviews, with Variety calling his role "the most emotionally complex performance of his career", while the Hollywood Reporter praised him for being "a smouldering, festering piece of emotional raw meat".
Tatum's 22 Jump Street co-star Hill – who also received some serious acting accolades including an Oscar nomination for his role in another Bennett Miller film, Moneyball – describes Tatum as "a really authentic actor".
"The reason why Channing is equally great in Foxcatcher and 22 Jump Street is the fact that he treats all his roles honestly," Hill says. "Even if he is saying really stupid things, he brings a truth to his performance no matter what the genre."
The actor, whose bulky physique resembles that of a sports jock more than a typical movie star, almost ended up as the former, after a stint as a star footballer on his Catholic high school team in Florida. That all changed in 2001, however, when he was approached on the street by a talent agent, signed a modelling contract and turned down a football scholarship to move to New York City.
He landed his first role in a 2004 episode of CSI: Miami and had a brief flirtation with critical acclaim in the 2006 indie hit A Guide to Recognising Your Saints before becoming eye candy later that year with his dance moves in Step Up. This led to a slew of mostly action films and romances, including Public Enemies (2009), Dear John (2010) and The Vow (2012).
Known for more earnest roles and groomed as a sexy leading man, Tatum admits he was initially hesitant when co-writer/producer/star Hill first contacted him about the 2012 movie remake of the popular 1980s TV show 21 Jump Street.
"Jonah and I had waved at each other across a room at a restaurant but we didn't know each other, and then he called me out of nowhere and said, 'I have this terrible idea for a movie and I think you'd be right for it'," he recalls with a grin. "I told him, 'I don't do comedy, I'm not funny' and he said, 'I'm not a stand-up comedian either, I just act in funny movies'."
The bromance grew from there and really pays off in the sequel, as the pair bicker like an old married couple. "Jonah took such good care of me on the first one," Tatum says, "because I'd literally be saying, 'I don't know where the joke is!' and he would just tell me, because it came so easy to him."
As the characters strive to fit into college life on this film, Tatum says the actors themselves were also having the same difficulty. "The first day Jonah and I watched the monitors, we thought the extras who played college kids looked like they were 12 years old but then we realised it was because we were the old ones!" he says, chuckling. "Part of the whole joke was that we actually didn't know how to fit in ourselves, so there wasn't much acting involved."
In person, Tatum comes off like a puppy dog: fun, friendly and eager to please. He's also surprisingly grounded when it comes to his personal life. He married his Step-Up co-star Jenna Dewan in 2009 and the pair welcomed their first daughter, Everly, last May.
Asked how he's coping with his burgeoning career juxtaposed with the nappy changing at home, Tatum wisecracks: "Maybe not a good idea by the way, I wouldn't advise it!"
But then he quickly lights up as he acknowledges, "Before Everly, I would go to Botswana if I thought it would help sell a film but now I know there's going to be a point in my life that I'm going to want those days back with my daughter so it will absolutely affect the amount of movies I do and the amount of time that I take away from my family."
Although it's too soon to tell if little Everly will follow in her parents' dance shoes, Tatum is prepared for anything. "I just hope whatever she chooses, it will be with the understanding that she wants to do it and not just because everyone else is doing it," he says. It is advice he has taken to heart in his own career it would seem.

My husband, the romantic?
My husband felt he had failed in the romance department. I set out to show him he was wrong…
By Deb Stanley
"What's the most romantic thing your spouse has ever done?" the emcee asked the three couples. My husband Scott and I were attending a wedding for one of our friends, and a family rendition of "The Newlywed Game" was taking place. In the game, both spouses would privately answer the same question, and then see if they matched.
"I don't know how I would answer that," Scott leaned over and whispered. He was indicating that when the time would come for him to name the most romantic thing he had done for me, he wasn't sure what to say.
"Oh, you're plenty romantic," I whispered back, and then promptly forgot about the incident as dinner was served and we talked and laughed with the other guests at the table.
A few days later, I noticed that Scott seemed somewhat subdued. "What are you thinking about?" I asked.
"It still bothers me that I can't think of anything romantic that I have done for you," he replied.
I reminded Scott of several occasions that were romantic, but he didn't feel any better.
As I got into bed that night I began to reflect, What is romance anyway? Most people think of weekend getaways or vacations to exotic places. Candlelight dinners and flowers for special occasions might top the list. But those moments, as wonderful as they are, are few and far between the things that take place every day. I thought back to our life together. Maybe true romance is more in the daily happenings of life than in the occasional moments.
Maybe romance is in the way Scott says "Hi, Gorgeous!" when he greets me, even though after three children, and more than 25 years of marriage, I hardly recognize the young bride in our wedding album. Maybe romance is in the daily walks when we talk about the trivial and momentous parts of our day and of our life together. Maybe it's the way we still hold hands and show our affection, ignoring our teenage daughters' cries of "Get a room!"
Maybe romance is the way Scott encouraged me to be a teacher when I shared with him my dreams of teaching children with special needs. We had very little money at the time. And even though it meant Scott had to squeeze childcare duties into an already tight ministry schedule, he never complained. In fact, he was my biggest cheerleader.
And he did it all over again when I said I wanted to go back to school for my master's degree. I thought of how I never tire of spending time with Scott, how even a trip to the grocery store is somehow special, simply because I'm spending time with this man I love so much.
"Maybe," I said to Scott the next evening as our family sat down to dinner, "romance isn't as much about the occasional candlelight dinner or a romantic weekend getaway as it is about the hundreds of ways you show me you love me every single day."
With that said, I reached over and gave him a big hug and kiss and grinned as a familiar chorus of "Get a room!" reverberated throughout the kitchen.

The digital book (got it on my iPad) was what pushed me to begin the natural journey. I liked the videos a lot because I am a visual learner. However, I wish I had found this site first because this site is more scientifically specific. The book makes it seem as if you stop using silicones and sulfates your hair will be great (which is partially true), but it's more complicated than that (as we all know). However, on a personal level, I treasure the book because it opened my eyes to being natural. But this site has helped me figure out my hair needs, if that makes sense.

Today was a good day, as Jason went to OT and then on to PT, and all within the Hospital (The C5 gym is in another building across the court yard). First there was talk of doing the dressing change in his room and then go to OT. Then there was talk of taking a shower, new dressing and then on to PT. Then, finally, there is what happened... Lynn, from OT, came in and said she was going to be helping Jason with his shower, and then left. I helped Jason get in to his chair, so he could get to the shower, and he went into the bathroom, and started to shave. I thought this was good, as he was starting to really need a shave, though I seldom tell him that. After he got himself all cleaned up Lynn came back and then we helped Jason get into the shower. It was actually kinda cool as Jason did most of the work himself and Lynn and I pretty much just stood on the other side of the shower curtain while Jason washed himself. The last time Jason took a shower, it was recognized that another bar was needed on the wall, so he could support himself. That bar was put in about 30 minutes before he took the shower. Funny how things get done around here, but what the heck, the bar is there now.
He got back on to his chair and then on to the prone cart, so that the new dressing could be placed back on, and then, just a few minutes after that (literally no more than three minutes) we were headed down to the PT gym, where Jason was going for his work out. Dawn came in to help, since Michelle had to be somewhere else. She worked Jason pretty good, and he was exhausted when they were done. We got back into his room and was getting ready for Jason to get back in bed when Lt. Bary came by and said she had not seen how Jason got back in bed. She had heard that it was a cool one-move swing, so she wanted to see it. Jason just sort of chuckled and reached up to the trapeze and swung back into to bed, like he has int he past. The only trouble with it was that just as he was starting to make the move Lt. Bray was called and she turned her head, and didn't see it; she was disappointed. He will be doing it several more times, so she will have another chance... and it is cool how he does it so smoothly.
Jason had a visitor today, the Honorable John R. Campbell, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Wounded Warrior Care and Transition Policy, came by. He stayed for several minutes and we talked about some of the challenges we dealing with, especially with housing, and he said he would be looking into it. He gave me his business card and said he would have his people checking to see how Jason could be helped. He also signed the Red Book and left me with his contact information.
The rest of the day was spent looking at possible housing and watching a movie. I was given access to a housing listing, from the military and Jason and I went through nearly 80 listings. Found a couple of places that we though showed promise, only to find that they don't allow pets. Fortunately, there are still over 1,000 more listings to look at, so for the next few days I will be taking some time to see what I can see. The movie we watched, after dinner, was the Pirate of the Caribbean, the last one they made. It was a silly and sometimes down right funny movie, and it was entertaining. One other thing that I was told happened today was Jason's truck was finally looked at and perhaps we can finally get it shipped out here, so we can close that issue. I'll know more tomorrow.
Thank you, all, for all the support and prayers that have been coming Jason's way. I know you're also praying for others, and that makes it even better. I will be continuing with this blog, as long as Jason is still healing, and once he gets over to the real rehab work, then I don't know if I'll be making daily entries. I suppose I will be figuring that out as we get there.
This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.

Missouri man sentenced in drug scheme tied to man's death
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) — A Columbia man has been sentenced to 19 years and seven months in prison in a heroin-distribution scheme that led to a man's overdose death.
The U.S. attorney's office said 41-year-old James Delarosa Borden was sentenced Tuesday. Prosecutors said Borden was the leader of a drug-trafficking conspiracy and pleaded guilty to his role in the scheme in January. Borden has admitted that he supplied heroin to Aaron Boren, who died from an overdose.
Borden has an extensive history of violent criminal behavior, including an armed robbery of a St. Louis jewelry store, a carjacking and the theft of a cash box containing fundraising proceeds from people at a church.

Greg Bates Hits Kentucky Derby With Three Essentials
Greg Bates has 100 shows over the next six months as he headlines his own club, fair, and festival dates, but he'll bring along the lessons he learned from opening for Brantley Gilbert.
"He runs such a great, great tour," Greg tells The Boot. "He's so good to all of his guys and all of his openers. It was a lot of fun for me. It was also good for me to see how he treats his fans."
As he hits the road — including a stop this Friday (May 3) to play the Fest-de-Ville Derby Eve in Louisville, Ky., — Greg has three essentials that he can't leave home without: "Coffee, water, and my baseball hat," he says. "I wore a Tennessee Titans hat for a long time and then I made the switch to just a standard blue hat. I don't want to offend anybody, [especially] Colts fans. Indianapolis is really good to me, so I don't want to make them mad."
With two hit singles, "Did It for the Girl," and "Fill In The Blank," behind him, Greg has learned to turn to social media to take his fans' pulse. "I think the quickest way to know if anything's a hit is Twitter," he says. He especially noticed a reaction when his music was played on the TV series "Nashville." "People started catching on pretty quick and talking about it on there."
It would seem that fans may recognize his songs faster than he does. "The first time I heard 'Did It For the Girl,' I was down in Tampa," he says. "The song came on and had it turned down pretty low and I didn't even know it was my song until the chorus. As a matter of fact, I heard the groove and thought, 'Man, I should really write something like that.' Then I realized I'd already written something like that!"

Justin Moore Shares Adorable Pic of His New 'Fishing Buddy'
Justin Moore — who made his preference for the great outdoors known with his hit "Bait a Hook" — has found a new "fishing buddy," he says, according to the photos he posted on Twitter.
Justin Moore — who made his preference for the great outdoors known with his hit "Bait a Hook" — has found a new "fishing buddy," he says, according to the photos he posted on Twitter.
Justin Moore is more appreciative than ever of his 849,000 Twitter followers after his family had to leave the beach without their pup, Hank, this weekend.
Justin Moore hails from the great town of Poyen, Ark., and the acclaimed country singer couldn't be more proud of that fact. He and his wife, Kate, welcomed their third daughter last summer, and they are planning to build a new house on his family's land to accommodate their growing brood.
Just when we thought country hit maker Justin Moore couldn't get any cooler, he's announced a special contest that will enable one lucky fan to receive a private concert.
Justin Moore surprised a group of firefighters in Hershey, Pa. with an in-person visit to their firehouse, as well as free tickets to one of his concerts.
Justin Moore may be one of the most talented and in-demand country singers of his day, but he's also a dedicated husband and father.
Miranda Lambert's Certified Platinum Tour stop in Knoxville, Tenn. was country's version of a punk rock show.
Justin Moore had the cutest date at the first-ever American Country Countdown Awards on Monday (Dec. 15), and there's no way his wife was jealous that he took another lady.
Brantley Gilbert and Justin Moore are the latest country stars to pull their music from Spotify.
Justin Moore's third daughter was born this summer, and apparently, she is a noisy one! Whether awake or asleep, Rebecca Klein is a Chatty Cathy, which is affecting the singer's ability to catch some shut-eye. However, he doesn't seem to mind.
Justin Moore is adding a second leg to his Off the Beaten Path Tour, and he's bringing along a very special guest.
Fashion Week doesn't only happen in New York! As far as country artists are concerned, fashion is a constant, and this week, they showed the Big Apple how Nashville dresses to impress.

James Joyce's Black Beach
Whose Line Is It Anyway? (Specials - Compilations)Whose Line Is It Anyway? (abbreviated to Whose Line? or WLIIA) was a short-form improvisational comedy TV show. The show consisted of a panel of four performers who created characters, scenes and songs on the spot, in the style of short-form improvisation games, many taken from theatresports. Topics for the games were based on either audience suggestions or predetermined prompts from the host, (Drew in the US - Clive Anderson in the UK).

Celebrities Get in on the Game at the US Open
Will Ferrell, Taio Cruz and Carmelo Anthony are among the stars who will participate in this year's U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York. The grand slam will also include 9/11 tributes from Queen Latifah and Cyndi Lauper.
Cruz, a British singer songwriter, will perform with Chance, a 14-year-old pop star, at the tournament's opening night on Aug. 29.
Ferrell plays doubles in an exhibition match with John McEnroe and Jim Courier on Sept. 8. The United States Tennis Association (U.S.T.A.), which runs the U.S. Open, has yet to find a fourth celebrity to play in the match. The actor and comedian has, in the past, gotten on the court at the Arhur Ashe Kids' Day.
This year's lineup for Arthur Ashe Kids' Day on Aug. 27 includes Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks (along with his wife La La), pop star Cody Simpson, actor Bradley Cooper and singer songwriter Jason Derülo. Kim Clijsters, Serena and Venus Williams, Andy Roddick, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will also participate.
There will be several 9/11 tributes during the grand slam, which runs from Aug. 29 to Sept. 11.
Before the women's singles final on Sept. 10, the Queens rocker and actress Cyndi Lauper will perform. Newark's own Queen Latifah will perform a pre-match 9/11 tribute at the men's final, which falls on Sept. 11. Latifah also did at a 9/11 tribute at the U.S.Open in 2002 (at right).
"The USTA's goal is to mark this solemn occasion in a dignified and respectful manner," said Jon Vegosen, the board chairman and president of the U.S.T.A, in a statement. "We are one of this nation's global stages on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, and we have a special responsibility to honor those fallen and those who responded heroically on that fateful day."
At both singles championship matches, "9-11-01" will be inscribed on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court. The finalists in the men's tournament will enter the court through an honor guard comprised of members of the New York Police Department, the Fire Department of New York and the Port Authority Police. A military flyover will also take place on Sept. 11 at the end of the pre-match ceremony.
Musical groups who will be playing on the Flushing Meadows grounds during the U.S. Open include Wye Oak, Ava Luna, The Aviation Orange, Humble G and The Afripeans, The Moonlighters, singer songwriter Susan Justice, and violinist Jane Hunt. For a schedule, click here.
Ferrell and McEnroe have sparred before — check out a video of the two on CNBC below.

Better way of connecting cable loop to roller chain?
Our garage door opener, roller chain to cable connection, via #40 Roller Chain Connecting Link, which looked something like this:
I replaced the cable which broke after 20 years. I purchased a replacement connecting link from Sears. Well that connecting link lasted about a day and then just popped right open. The clip was in the groove. Not much more I can do.
Is there some other better way of connecting the cable loop to the roller chain?
As I recall, isn't the flat cover for the pins slightly embossed? You may have installed that half incorrectly before the spring clip. Look closely to see if the cover will put resistance on the clip at install. Be safe, G

Types of hernias in dogs
In dogs, there are also hernias involving the muscles that surround the abdomen and they are commonly found at two locations. The first site would be in the groin area on the inner surface of the rear leg - an inguinal hernia. The second site would be the 'belly button' where the umbilical cord had connected the puppy to his mother. A hernia at this location is called an umbilical hernia. In both cases, abdominal organs such as the intestines or fat pass through the opening and lie just beneath the skin.
Another common hernia site in dogs involves the internal muscle that separates the abdomen and chest. That muscle is called the diaphragm, so the hernia is therefore referred to as a diaphragmatic hernia. The intestines and other abdominal organs (such as liver and stomach) are able to pass through the opening within the diaphragm into the chest cavity. There they take up a portion of the space normally occupied by the lungs.
A hernia is, therefore, usually nothing more than an abnormal opening in a muscle through which other tissues of the body pass.
Consequences of hernias
The idea that a section of intestine or other structure might slip through one of these openings and move under the skin or into a different body cavity (such as the chest) does not seem like a big problem. However, in many cases, a hernia that goes untreated can have a fatal outcome. Usually, the problems that occur are not caused by the intestines or other organs being in an abnormal position or from the displacement of other tissues that are supposed to be there. Rather, in most instances, a problem arises when the blood supply of the herniated tissues is affected.
Figure #1 shows a hernia that involves the abdominal wall and a section of the small intestine. A portion of the intestine has slipped through a small hole in the muscular wall. This is exactly how an inguinal hernia appears. Notice the stricture (abnormal narrowing) of the intestine itself. This could easily prevent the passage of food through this section of the intestine, effectively causing an obstruction or blockage. This would certainly lead to the death of the animal, if it were not treated. More importantly, however, please look at Figure #2. This shows a close-up of the intestinal wall as it passes through the hernia. Notice how the blood vessels are twisted and constricted. Blood will not be able to flow back and forth from between this portion of the intestine and the rest of the body. It means that the section of intestine that has passed through the hole in the abdominal wall will lose its blood supply. It will be deprived of oxygen and nutrients and when this occurs, it dies.
The symptoms associated with a hernia, like the one pictured in Figure 1 and 2 may initially relate to the inability of food to pass through this constricted section of intestine. Muscles within the wall of the intestine are responsible for moving food and water through the organ. Waves of contractions called peristalsis propel the contents along the length of the intestine. When an obstruction is encountered, like the one described, the peristaltic waves reverse direction and move the food backward through the entire digestive tract. This results in food and water being vomited. After this portion of the tract has emptied, the animal usually goes off food and refuses to eat. They may still drink water because liquids might be able to pass through the restricted section of the intestine or be absorbed prior to that point.
Once the blood vessels are affected, however, the clinical signs change drastically. The area will become swollen and painful. Without adequate oxygen and nutrients, the intestinal tissues initially develop cramps just like your leg does when you cross it and it 'goes to sleep.' And if the flow of blood is completely lost, cell death occurs. The pain then becomes severe. The animal will probably develop a fever, become lethargic, and go completely off food and water. As these tissues break down, the toxins from bacteria that normally live in the intestine make their way into the rest of the animal's body. As the tissue dies, the affected area turns into an abscess and many different harmful metabolic waste products are flushed throughout the animal's body. All of these substances (bacterial toxins and metabolic waste products) seriously affect the various organ systems of the body. Liver and/or kidney failure are quite common in these situations. Without treatment, the animal will usually die within 24 to 48 hours.
As an owner, do not take a hernia in your pet lightly. In many cases, they are disasters just waiting to happen. Do not buy a puppy that has a hernia unless you have a veterinarian examine it so you will understand what treatment is necessary and the potential cost. Some hernias found in young dogs can wait for repair until the time they are spayed or neutered. In older dogs, we generally repair a hernia as soon as possible once they are discovered.
Hernias are repaired by replacing the herniated (displaced) structures back into their correct position and then suturing closed the abnormal openings. This often requires the use of specialized techniques and long-lasting suture material.
Hereditary potential
As a note, umbilical hernias in puppies are a genetic or congenital defect in over 90% of the cases. The disorder is passed from generation to generation just like the color of the coat or the animal's overall size. Very, very rarely are they caused by trauma or excessive pressures during whelping. Animals that have a hernia or had a surgical repair of a hernia should never be used for breeding. Additionally, those adults that produce puppies with this condition should not be bred again.

Painkiller Cocktail
Tracy Byrne
You know what's awkward? When you're sitting around your kitchen in your tights and a tank top when the landlord knocks on the door and you say come in not thinking about what you are wearing. Even more awkward when it's a middle aged, dad landlord.
Whoops. Maybe if I hadn't been drinking this cocktail I would have put pants before saying "come in." Maybe not. Anyway, keep your pants on (or your skirt down) always!
It's been a painful start to 2014; I've been sick since Christmas fighting bronchitis, and then, some sort of head cold. My body needed rest but I gave it 6-day work weeks and a move. I'm good to myself like that. Plus, I've watched the first five seasons of Sons of Anarchy and have become overly attached. It was painful when Opie died. However, I feel like I'm finally on the road to peace and good health. Cocktails always help on these sort of endeavors.
January was a cold month, so it was time for tropical drink; this cocktail was the perfect choice. All the ingredients were easy to find and I have a big bottle of dark rum sitting around from making eggnog. The painkiller was smooth and surprisingly not too sweet. Take yourself on a mini vacation with this cocktail today!
Two Years Ago - Blood Orange Margaritas
Painkiller Cocktail
Adapted from Shutterbean
Yield - 1 cocktail (it's strong!)
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) orange juice
1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) sweetened coconut cream
freshly grated nutmeg

Rick Barber Gets Out His Megaphone
posted at 11:17 am on May 29, 2010 by Laura Curtis
I had the opportunity to chat with Rick Barber, the AL-02 candidate whose WTC mosque campaign ad caused a sensation. Given the other red-meat laden ads coming out of Alabama lately, I wondered if there was something in the water up there. Rick explained the rationale behind the ad:
I definitely felt going in that a lot of other people felt the same way I did but they really would just love to have someone with somewhat of a megaphone if you will as far as saying what needs to be said. … I know there are a lot more like me who are concerned about radical Islam and wish more were being done.
Another candidate who has been equally direct is Florida's Lt. Col. Allen West. In this video, after every other man waffled and one even joked about taking the 5th, West provided a concise history of Islamic war on the west and concluded with
"…until we get principled leadership in the United States that is willing to say that, we will continue to chase our tail because we will never clearly define who this enemy is and then understand their goals and objectives which is on any jihadist website and then come up with the right and proper goals and objectives to not only secure our republic but to secure western civilization."
Barber's response:
I love Mr. West. He's dead on when he identifies and says we can't look at this as in the same context as other religions. This is a totalitarian and an authoritarian ideology that is out there. It's not subject to one nation, it's not necessarily one people; it's an ideology we're combating. And if we don't recognize it for what it is […] we're going to be taken over. Look what's happening in France.
We don't project strength as a nation anymore. And if we don't start doing that again, we're constantly going to be vulnerable. Ronald Reagan has one of the best quotes, "We were never brought into war because we were deemed to be too strong; only when we were deemed to be too weak." And that's exactly what the administration is doing now. We are not being strong with the conflicts that we're in.
On the recent South Park/Comedy Central/EDMD brouhaha he said,
There's an absolute double standard in the media and anywhere else. That's going to be another thing I would address in Washington. The biggest thing a Congressman has is a megaphone – he has access to be heard. And that's what our leaders today aren't capitalizing on.
I asked Barber why he is the superior GOP candidate for his district. After all, like Dede Scozzafava, Martha Roby received the NRCC endorsement.
She's definitely the establishment candidate; she's got a long pedigree in her family. Her father's a federal judge, her uncle's the probate judge in Montgomery, so you've got all those contacts which give her the advantage to raise money, no doubt about it. The reason I chose to run, because running for public office of any kind just wasn't on my roadmap initially was the fact that, as a business owner, someone who hires people all the time, and Congress being a job; that you're applying for a job for what you're doing, you try to match the skill set for the job. And when you look at what's going on in Washington today, out of control spending, big deficits, we're getting into programs we shouldn't be doing, we're not holding people accountable – all those things – those are all issues that business owners face every day.
We have to be fiscally responsible. We have to control our budget. We have to hold people accountable for their decisions. As business owners, it's our money we're investing so we're invested in every single decision we make, so I really wanted to see someone there with real world business experience. There's nothing else that would help rein in some of these out of control decisions that we're making because the people who are down here living in the world they're creating up there are crying foul. And it's harder every day to stay in business because they're taking the incentive out of being a business owner every day.
And the second thing was the military experience – in my district we have two major military installations. We have got 200,000 veterans, and in Washington we have less than 25% of our leaders who have ever served in the armed forces. I think that's where that disconnect happens when you talk about national security, when you talk about being strong on immigration. And so my platform is on quit hiring political experience, because there's plenty of that in Washington, and let's start hiring some real-world experience and start focusing on what accomplishments that they achieved in life, and put those kind of skill sets in Washington and I think you'll find a change in the decisions that are being made.
One last blast from his megaphone:
I'm a huge FAIR Tax supporter; it's one of the things that got me involved in the tea party, I think tax reform is the #1 way we can fix our government. Corruption is rampant because the #1 tool that is used is the tax code today. So if we really want to address corruption, the best solution I have found for that is the FAIR tax. And I think that's something if we had more people in Washington really educating people on, that it would become a campaign issue for most people in the United States. They would start asking people, "Do you support HR 25?" and if you don't they probably would not even consider voting for you.
I'm tired of waffling politicians who try to take all sides of an issue. Barber's directness and willingness to support something not fully poll-tested is really refreshing; that's why I've donated to his campaign. He's willing to get out there and use his megaphone to try to sell conservative ideas, something I think the GOP has done a very poor job of in the last decade. As to whether a GOP Tea Party candidate can defeat the GOP establishment candidate… well, it wouldn't be the first time, even when the Tea Party candidate enjoys less funding. As Glenn Reynolds put it,
…in many ways Tea Party activism is the substitute for cash that is to say you don't have to pay people to go out and do yourself because Tea Party people will do it for free. I read over 6000 people traveled in from out of state to work as volunteers for Scott Brown and you know, and so that's as good as money and indeed a lot of the publicity, a lot of the support of the Tea Party people produce is far more valuable than paid political ads.
Recommended: Stacy McCain talked Tea Parties, Pool Halls and Blue Dogs with Rick Barber back in February.
Instalanche, and thanks for the link!
Edited: I added a few links I originally forgot to include and clarified that the controversial ad was about the WTC mosque.

"Reflections in Time" by Niki Gulley
Just sold! This painting is inspired by one of my favorite spots just ten minutes from our home in Dallas. It was a perfect autumn day with a slight breeze and the peaking autumn colors were more vibrant than usual. With such a gentle wind, the vivid foliage and gorgeous fluffy clouds were reflected fairly clearly in the water and yet at the same time, I chose to create fluid moving strokes to suggest the peaceful energy in that moment.

Traffic shifted to a temporary bridge on U.S. 27 over the Fenholloway River east of Perry Tuesday, July 29, where it will continue for the next several months while the existing bridge is removed and a new bridge constructed in its place. The temporary metal bridge built to the south of the existing bridge will allow U.S. 27 to remain open to traffic during the construction phase. The speed limit is reduced to 45 mph.

Employers that use electronic systems to complete I-9 verification forms for new hires sometimes streamline the system by pre-populating employee information on Section I of the I-9 with information pulled from the company's HR software. But last year, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) signaled that such pre-population is not permissible.
What's new? ICE has now apparently switched course on that opinion, announcing that the agency now takes no position on the pre-population of information by electronic I-9 programs.

"N.C. State is on top," said Middleton. "No one has outdone them so far. Duke is second, West Virginia is third and Wake Forest is fourth."
Middleton explained why the Wolfpack are No. 1 on his list.
"It's just the simple fact that they were one of the first schools to recruit me," said the 6-foot-2, 295-pound Middleton. "With N.C. State, I've just been up there so much and I started to fall in love with the campus."
"Also, Coach (Dave) Doeren, Coach (Ryan) Nielsen, Coach (Clayton) White and all the coaches have a lot of enthusiasm."
Although the N.C. State is his leader, Middleton insists that his recruitment is far from over and that the other schools also appeal to him.
Duke: "I definitely love the defensive line coach (Rick Petri)," Middleton said. "He's sent a lot of guys to the NFL. They also have a great medical program."
West Virginia: "They haven't offered yet. But I think one is coming because Coach (Brian) Mitchell (cornerbacks coach) offered me when he was the defensive coordinator at ECU. He told me that they are waiting on a guy and if he doesn't commit to them, the offer goes to me."
Wake Forest: "They're the hometown school. Me and Coach Ray (McCartney), the defensive line coach, we have a good relationship. I'm probably going to visit them in the next few weeks."
Middleton said he is also still considering Ohio State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
As for the summer, Middleton will be busy.
"I'm going to visit all of those schools during the summertime – and see what I like and don't like," he said.
He knows when he will make his decision.
"I plan on making my decision at the end of the summer before my senior season, so I can just focus on football this fall," Middleton said.
Last season, Middleton finished with 45 tackles, 15 sacks and three forced fumbles on defense. On offense, he had 10 pancake blocks. He was a first-team All-Piedmont Triad Conference selection.

Q and A - Elijah Wood for Happy Feet Two
Daniel Anderson
30 March, 2012
The star talks about coming back for the animated, dancing penguin sequel
Five years ago,
Happy Feet
brought a tale of a toe tapping penguin to the big screen and walked away with legions of new fans and an Oscar for best Animated Film at the 2007 awards. Now, director
George Miller
is back with a sequel that reunites much of the cast, including
Elijah Wood
as the voice of unusual avian Mumble.
Best known as the hobbit star of
The Lord of the Rings
has more recently voiced another animated character in
, taken on a lead role in TV series
and will return to the role of Frodo Baggins for
The Hobbit
, currently in production.
Fluffy dancing penguins, what more do you want?!
Q: What's it like to come back to Happy Feet and Mumble after five years?
EW: Has it been five years?
Q: You probably started working on it less than five years ago.
EW: Man, that's crazy. Wow, I can't believe so much time has passed. It's great. It feels wonderful to revisit it. We had a blast making the first one. I thought the film that George (Miller) and all of us made was unique and different and had its own unique atmosphere to it.
It was a pleasure to revisit those characters and to revisit the cast and work together again. I love working with George. I love working with Robin (Williams.) Many of the same cast members came back, including some new additions, Hank Azaria, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. It was a lot of fun. We recorded a majority of it in Australia as a cast, which is pretty rare for animation, so that was a treat.
Q: Did you do that on the first film, too?
EW: We did a lot of our recording together in pieces, but it was mainly done in Los Angeles. So the fact that we could all go to Australia, it made it even more immersive and it made it feel more like summer camp for all of us.
Q: What do the new people bring?
EW: Well, Hank Azaria brings an incredibly gifted sense of improvisation and incredible voice ability as well. He's very similar to Robin in that regard. Hank has done voices for years; so he brings that incredible ability.
Matt and Brad, I think they've done voice work before, but I can't remember what they've done or if I'd ever heard their voices in animation before. They're so funny together, the way that they work together. They certainly bring comedy, but also a real sense of profundity with the questions that their characters are asking. Which I thought was really interesting in including this into the fabric of the piece.
Q: In a way, their story echoes the main story.
EW: It does. It's almost comments on it, but also asking a much larger existential question. This going at it alone, exploring who are we in the context of the universe. Literally we're this tiny thing in the speck of the universe, and they're asking that question. Which I think is so profound.
The way that the underwater photography is done and the way that it's depicted, like when they actually look back at their swarm, it looks like the cosmos. There is this kind of connection to the much larger question of why we are here and what are we meant to do.
Q: Well, there's a lot of that throughout the film. George has set it up so that there are times you pull back so you see the Earth and then you come back in. so without commenting vocally, there's that visual comment.
EW: Also, I think that what's happening in Antarctica, because our movie's set in Antarctica, ultimately acts as a sort of microcosm for the entire planet. I mean, what's happening environmentally, what's happening amongst these communities, communities not working together, communities working together. All of those things are ultimately just social issues and world issues that we feel and everybody can relate to.
Q: Everyone can relate to the story in this one as well, because now Mumble is grown up and he's got a son and he's having the same kind of father-son issues that he had with his father.
EW: Totally. It's exactly the same thing. Mumble in the first film didn't want to sing, couldn't sing, couldn't find a way to ultimately find his own voice and couldn't articulate himself until he started to dance, and suddenly he was ostracized. So Mumble, you would think, would be relatively adept at handling that issue. Erik doesn't want to dance and can't dance. So he has to find his own way and it's up to Mumble to sort of navigate through that.
I think Mumble's sensitive to it, because he experienced it. I think his initial tact is to tell his son that it's OK, that he can find his own way. But his son then becomes infatuated with the impossible, this notion of being able to fly and that's an interesting struggle because as a father, he wants to uplift and uphold Erik's belief that anything is possible, whilst also managing his expectations.

Hey everyone!
I've been reading this blog for about the last year, and after a lifetime of dreaming and a collection of some modest gear, I am adding waterfowl hunting to the family traditions! I'm from the St. Croix Valley area on the MN/WI border.
Just wanted to say hi, and thanks for all the helpful information and insight as I endeavor into this richly historic sport. Here is one of the locals I am planning on hunting near Emily, MN.

- - My dogs a poo eater (help) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/433633-my-dogs-poo-eater-help.html)
My dogs a poo eater (help)
Our four month old puppy eats poo. Not hers, but from my two cats. She even sees them go to the litter box and waits outside the door to the room so she can get a fresh one.
Of course she also loves kissing on us with cat poo breath!
How do we stop this?
The best we thought of is putting the litter box on a table or shelf where the dog can't reach it, but then if family or friends come over we'd have a litter box where it was highly visible.
I found it easier just to have a baby gate with a smaller pet door I could leave open for the cats and the dog couldn't follow. Then I'd just open/close the big gate when needed.
Carlson 0930PW Extra-Wide Walk-Thru Gate with Pet Door, White
My dog does the same thing HOWEVER not from the litter box! My cats are indoor/outdoor cats and they have used the yard and the puppy goes around and finds them! ANY time he is let out! I usually go with him outside and monitor him but I can't ALWAYS and he goes and gets them! I am getting so sick of it! I can't stop the cats from pooing outside! Luckily he hasn't discovered the litter box yet! (hoping I didn't just jinx myself!) I can not stand the smell of him when he comes back in from a poo eating buffet! I thought he would have found them all by now but there seems to be a never ending supply!
We have the gate above set up to block the "cat room".
i got a baby gate for 10 bucks from walmart and blocked the bathroom and put the cat box in there. also gives the cat somewhere to go if the dogs are annoying her. she likes to chill on the bathroom counter
I have the same gate (white one) but haven't had to use it for this puppy yet. I put the cat's litter box high up so he can't reach it. I found the cat litter I use (Mimi litter) the puppy doesn't like to smell so hopefully that will be deterrent enough.
op, remember how the "rabbit" was always scheming trying to get the Trix cereal, and the critter was koo koo for coco puffs? same thing with dogs and cat poo. try the gate, but some dogs will go go over or knock down sad gate.
I don't have a dog to keep out of litter, I have a toddler who thinks it's a sand box. My hubby cut a cat door in the wall and framed it to make it look nice so the cats can get in and out of where we keep the litter in the room with our furnace and hot water tank etc. Hope this helps. Sorry about poop breath. That is really nasty! :wild:

I cannot remember a time that I didn't create!

While exploring my Mohawk heritage I learned how to do Iroquois raised (embossed)beadwork, loomed beadwork, and used leather to make moccasins.
I guess my 'melting' experiences first started a long time ago when I used to melt my brothers' old 78's over cans in boiling water to make bowls! (Sorry John and Larry!) Now that I am melting glass, I am excited every time I open the kiln, whether it's a candle shelter, coasters, etc or jewellery!

2004 WJ round fog lights brackets?
Hi everyone. This is my first post here. I am trying to upgrade my 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 and add round fog lights to it. I got oem fog lights from ebay, but they came without any mounting brackets. In my front bumper there are round cavities for fog lamps with sort of grill inside, which , I believe has to be removed to properly insert fog lamps deep enough. I called dealership, but the part department told me, they couldn't find any orignal parts listed as fog light mounting bracket or anything similar. All they had was fog light assembly in some sort of round, plastic housing (which I already have). I have all electric harness, relay, switch etc. I just need to find the way to properly secure fog lights in the bumper openings. Anyone knows , if such brackets even exist ? 2004 Grand Cherokee Limited Edition comes with round fog lights from the factory. How are they attached to the bumper in Limited Edition ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Re: 2004 WJ round fog lights brackets?
About half way down this page you can see info on the install and parts needed.

Re: 2004 WJ round fog lights brackets?
Thanks for link Trav1s. Hopefully, Dealer Part Department will be able to finaly find parts, when I give them exact part numbers ;-). If not.. I will make my own brackets.
Re: 2004 WJ round fog lights brackets?
Glad to help. Keep that website handy as there is TONS of WJ info on it. Good luck on the project. :thumbsup:
Re: 2004 WJ round fog lights brackets?
Problem solved. There is no such thing as mounting brackets in 2004 Laredo.
Fog lamps are mounted directly to bumper cover body. After removing/cutting out small grille in bumper fog light cavity you just use black, round plastic housing supplied with fog lamp and mount it on the back of fog light cavity tube inside bumper cover using drill and plastic rivets.
Re: 2004 WJ round fog lights brackets?
If you want round fogs carid.com is a good place. I got my round, projector/halo fogs with HIDs from there and the ones prior to those from there also. They have a lot of good stuff.
Re: 2004 WJ round fog lights brackets?
XenonDepot carries them too...they're a vendor on here with great customer service. I got mine from them (projector halos) and got my HID kits from them too. The only thing better than 1 set of HID's is 2.:thumbsup:
Re: 2004 WJ round fog lights brackets?
After doing some more research on the web I found out that plastic round mounting bracket for 2004 WJ was manufactured by Mopar in the past. It was called:
Fog lamp bezel - mopar part number: 50010189AA - for around $10
2004 WJ has differently shaped fog lights than the rest of the family of 99'-03' WJ. They look like WK fog lamps, and 2004 Laredo bumper cover has round cavities ready for this shape of lamps. Unfortunately Mopar has discontinued making those bezels(brackets) and you can't order them anymore. Some resellers may have few of them still in stock, but it would be pure luck to find one. Mounting manual with pictures is still available at dealerships part departments.

Winter Tire Decision Guide - Boyds Tire
It's obvious that winter tires make an automobile easier and safer to drive in harsh winter climates. It also can be a confusing and difficult decision, when deciding which winter tires to buy for your vehicle. Getting optimum winter performance from your vehicle is important and also requires a little knowledge as to which tires best fit your vehicle.
What makes a winter tire different from any other tire?
The traditional "all season" tire balances dry pavement grip with wet and mild winter performance. However, severe cold can make the rubber compound on the tread brittle and reduce grip. The "M&S" and "M+S" found on some tires stands for "mud and snow". This doesn't mean it is a wi ...[more]
Winter Driving and Tire Tips - Boyds Tire
No one likes driving in the snow, especially during a winter storm. We all try to avoid it, but sometimes we can't, and we get caught in the middle of it. When this happens, it is important to know what to do and how to prepare yourself. The first thing you should do is decrease your speed and give yourself plenty of room to stop. Second, turn on your lights and windshield wipers. Finally, don't try to pass anyone on the road, even if you think your vehicle can handle the conditions. All vehicles including all wheel drive vehicles and trucks encounter problems on winter roads.
It is important that we all be courteous and respectful to each other, when it ...[more]
Fall and Winter Driving Tips
Are you ready for fall and winter driving? Changing leaves and snow days can be exciting, but also bring about new dangers for drivers. To keep you and your loved ones safe this season, there are special circumstances to remember when driving in the colder months. More accidents happen in the winter and fall because drivers ignore safety precautions. Here are some tips and important guidelines to follow to prevent common accidents:
Tips to Remember for Fall and Winter:
1. Check your tires. Your tires should be properly inflated, balanced, and have enough tread to avoid loss of traction. Cold weather and temperature fluctuations can decrease tire pressure. Keep a tire pressure gauge handy in your vehicle at all times and check fre ...[more]
Breaking in New Winter Tires
- Depending on the kind of tires you select, you may notice a change in the feel/sound of your commute. Because winter tires have more of a grip on the road, they might sound louder depending on your vehicle. If you notice it at all, don't panic. You are only hearing the added contact. If you add studs or chains to the mix, the sound will increase as well, ...[more]

Arizona Diamondbacks Move Ever Closer to NL West Title, as Ian Kennedy Overpowers San Diego Padres for League-Leading 19th Win
The amazing, no-name Diamondbacks beat San Diego 4-1 last night, cementing Ian Kennedy's status as the winningest pitcher in the National League and increasing their lead over the idle San Francisco Giants to 7 1/2 games.
The right-hander had 11 strikeouts, one shy of his career best, giving up seven hits. If Kennedy ain't huge in the National League Cy Young discussion this year with his (so far) 19-4 record, something else is foul in Major League Baseball.
The D-Backs' magic number to win the National League West is now 12.

TicketsSat., Aug. 12, 7:00pm
There were many positives for Arizona in last night's game. Possibly the biggest was that, with their 83-61 record, the Diamondbacks are within 1 1/2 games of overtaking the sure-to-win-the-NL Central Milwaukee Brewers (who lost last night to:Philadelphia) record-wise. This means that if the D-Backs wind up bettering the Brewers, they will play the National League wild-card team instead of the 92-48 Phillies, who have the best record in the bigs and will win the NL East by a landslide.
This in all likelihood would mean an opening post-season series against the Atlanta Braves, who are no slouches at 84-60. They suffer only from being in the same division as the Phillies -- and swept the Snakes during a recent East Coast road trip.
Though there are a slew of new faces on this season's D-Backs, it's a bit of an exaggeration to call the team no-name. Manager Kirk Gibson is one of the most famous baseball players ever, toiling on two world-championship teams. And All-Star Justin Upton is becoming a household name to anybody who watches Sports Center on ESPN.
And it was right fielder Upton who belted his 29th homer against the Padres, before getting pulled late in the game because of illness. After the game, Upton said he was experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms and left merely as a precaution.
Upton's lead-off, towering first-pitch homer to left field in the sixth inning was preceded by Kennedy's striking out the side in the top of the inning and Paul Bunyon-like first baseman Paul Goldschmidt's round-tripper to almost the same spot in the fourth.
The D-Backs scored their third run when Kennedy was hit with a pitch in the seventh, shortstop Willie Boomquist singled, and then ASU's Bloomquist broke up what would have been a sure double-play ball by sliding into Padres second baseman Orlando Hudson -- who consequently hurled the ball way over his first baseman's head and allowed Kennedy to score.
Catcher Miguel Montero -- who's on a 16-game hitting streak, with as many runs batted in during this span -- drove in the Snakes' fourth run later in the inning with a single to left.
San Diego managed to score its one run in the eighth, but the Friars were never in the game because of Kennedy's overpowering stuff. Plus, closer J.J. Putz was anything but, as he logged his 38th save this season, striking out the final batter.

Two months ago Google changed the terms and conditions for using Android SDK. The major change was the addition of a new clause that prohibits the developers from taking any action that may fragment the Android ecosystem. The decision seemed to be legit from Google's end, since one of the main criticism about Android is its fragmented ecosystem. But, the supporters of free (as in freedom) software took the move on the negative side.
Developers who stands for software freedom were enraged by Google's move. They unequivocally said that by including a clause binding developers not to tweak the system at will Google has made Android SDK a proprietary development kit.
Hence, the need for a Android development kit that won't limit developers to build new systems was pressing. Replicant Project has taken heed to these developers and released a fully free ReplicantSDK 4.0 (API level 15).
You can download it from ReplicantSDK page, and find installation and building instructions in the wiki.

Today Willy and crew were helping the Solomon's biologists collect cow nosed rays and they got this 8' 1" Bull shark at Cornfield Harbor He called me to come take pictures and I GLADLY obliged!! I have never touched a shark before. This one felt like sandpaper. They got it right near where people swim down at the park so that is a little disconcerting. I wonder if he has any family still around? I have a lot more pictures I'll put up on our Buzz's brag board down here if anyone comes by. Michael was laughing. He thought he was "doing something" catching a cobia.... Christy
I forgot the pictures in my excitement.
Wow! I've told people before that sharks were in the bay, but no one believes it! Just glad this one didn't attack anyone!
That's exactly why he's there, to eat cow nose rays. Pretty darn cool though. After I check the date and realize it's not April 1st, I'll probably forward this to quite a few people. This better get posted on the DNR anglers log.
Wow!!!! too cool!
Charter Fishing/Reports: www.iFishMD.com
I promise, this is not an April Fool's joke. Christy
That's way too cool, Christy!!
Well, now there is 1 less Ray Eater in the water.
This year seems out of the ordinary, with bull sharks, whiting, blow fish, redfish and other oceanic fish coming in the bay. I believe it is a testament to the efforts in trying to clean up the bay. However, it is probably cyclical and weather related. Any other opinions on all the odd catches this year, or is not that uncommon?
That is very interesting.
Who are Solomon's biologists? Are they working for the MD DNR. Why did they kill the shark? Does it have research value--food value? I thought there was a problem with too many rays because too many ray eating sharks had been killed. I thought it was supposed to be a good thing for the sharks to keep the ray population in check.
These are just questions, not a challenge to anyone.
I don't have those answers. I just know they were collecting Rays and somehow they shark got involved. I really don't have any answers for you though although I do agree it is sad and unfortunate that the shark is no longer alive. I just took pictures. Christy

We are Caroline and Harrison Smith. I am from Indianapolis, Indiana and Harrison is from the distant land of Idaho Falls, Idaho. I am majoring in Early Childhood/Special Education here at BYU-Idaho and will graduate in December. My husband, Harrison, is majoring in Economics. I served a mission for the Church in Moscow, Russia and Harrison served in the Alpine, Germany mission, which covers Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. We love to watch sports together, especially BYU and the University of Michigan. I love running, and Harrison likes riding his bike. We also love to watch movies. Some of our favorites are Harry Potter, Star Wars, SpongeBob, and Looney Tunes. We also enjoy hiking, camping, and traveling with friends and family!
Sydelle Case
Manager of Building 1
(Women's Building)
My name is Sydelle Case. I am originally from the Portland, Oregon area, and have been living in Rexburg for almost 5 years now. My husband's name is Tyson. He and I met up here at school and have been married a little over three years. We were married in the Portland, Oregon Temple and have been blessed with a rambunctious little 2 year old named Colter and are expecting another baby April 2016. My husband is originally from Vancouver, Washington, and served his mission in Santa Maria, Brazil, however his parents moved to Sugar City while he was on his mission, so you can say we're kind of locals now! We love cooking Brazilian food together, watching movies as a family, going camping, and spending time with my in-laws. I spend a great deal of my extra free time sewing (I especially enjoy making stuffed animals for our son and blankets for the rest of the family). Being North-Westerners, we love the rainy weather and doing anything that allows us to enjoy the beautiful world that God created for us. I've managed local complexes and properties for the past three years and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have a deep love for our tenants and am excited to get to know everyone with each new semester!
