Altama Desert Mil Spec Combat Boot
I bought these Altama 4156 Desert Combat Boots in…
Materials: corduran
Use: extremely rough, hot, dry terrain
Break-in Period: Very short
Price Paid: $79.95
I bought these Altama 4156 Desert Combat Boots in 1997 and have worn them almost every day. It's hard to imagine anyone being any harder on boots than I am. I've hiked for miles across the hottest deserts of Arizona, climbed rugged and rocky terrain--they're practically indestructable! Even after seven years of tough abuse, they still have more left in them. They are extremely comfortable, give great support and stability. No wonder they're used by the greatest military in the world.
The Altama 4156 are the first pair of "real" combat…
Materials: Suede leather, cordura nylon
Use: Everyday street/city use -- heavy walking in temperate climate
Break-in Period: 1 month
Weight: 5-6 lbs
Price Paid: $99.95
The Altama 4156 are the first pair of "real" combat boots I bought. At the time, I was a student in New York City, doing a LOT of walking around Manhattan. Although designed primarily for hot/dry weather, the 4156s perform quite well in most weather, except for heavy downpours. I've even worn them in snow! The boot's upper, being made of primarily durable Cordura nylon, is quick to conform to your feet, and break in time is quite short. They are also quite light, and out of all the boots I own, these are one of the most comfortable.
They also look pretty good; they don't have that traditional "combat boot look", and go with everything from jeans to khakis.
So far, I've gotten almost a year and a half of service out of them, again doing a lot of walking in them. Stability is excellent, and they have spared my ankles possible injury on more than one occassion.
The only problem I've had was the rubber outsole beginning to seperate from the upper (after about a year of heavy use). This happened at the very front end of the toe, and the actual amount of seperation was very small. A few drops of strategically placed epoxy/superglue alleviated the problem, and they are still holding together several months later.
All things considered, the Altama 4156s are an excellent pair of boots for everyday use, not just hiking or field work. However, keep in mind they are designed for relatively dry conditions, so, I wouldn't recommend them on a trip to the Florida Everglades...

Mediabridge install question
So I'm trying to get the Mediabridge (w/BT) to work on an '01 M5 w/DSP and 16:9 Nav.
The power cable for the DSP unit=(black to brown cable in the AMP, and the black/white cable to the green/red in the amp). That went fine.
Coax and RCA cables in to the DSP unit, then the 3 and 6 pin into the interface cable. Interface cable to the MB unit itself. Whew! So per the guide, DIP switches set to 1-ON, 2-OFF.
But when I plug the iPod into the USB port in the rear, I get nothing. The MB is getting power and charging my iPod but that's it.
Anyone know where I messed up?
Ok so I looked at my connections, and all appear to be well. I removed the power cables from the AMP power and re-attached. same result, though, when the iPod is plugged in it DOES register the MB (says audiovox on the top of the screen) so it knows it's there. But when I switch the mode on the stereo to where the CD player is all I get is CD1 Track 1, no ability to change track numbers. Also my iPhone isn't picking up the BT in the MB unit.
Ok still nothing. I think I'm ready to send this whole kit back.
Please shoot me an email with your order number! It sounds like we have a defective unit and we would be more than happy to get a swap setup for you to get you up and running as designed!

- London Metropolitan University - 8 minutes walk away / 6 minutes away on public transport.
Local Amenities
- Restaurant - 11 minutes walk away.
- Supermarket - 13 minutes walk away.
- Emirates Stadium - 7 minutes walk away.
Area Description
Highbury has a population of just under 22,000 and is bordered by Finsbury Park to the north, Holloway to the west, Islington and Canonbury to the south, and Newington Green to the east.
The area is possibly most known for having been home to Arsenal's stadium for over 90 years! However, in 2005 the football club moved to the brand new Emirates Stadium in neighbouring Holloway, and the Arsenal Stadium was partly demolished. The stadium gave way to a modern gated community called Highbury Square, and the old grass pitch got converted into a nice set of gardens - which were supposed to be open to the public.
The area is well connected to the rest of the city through the Highbury & Islington station - by tube (Victoria line), overground (North & East London lines) and train (Northern City line). You can enjoy a break from the city at the pleasant Highbury Fields park.

Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!

There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.

In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

As part of the webcast, Rebekah Barsch, vice president-market strategy at Northwestern Mutual, will discuss key retirement-related issues including longevity, income planning and healthcare costs. Participants will walk away from the webcast with a better understanding of why many of the traditional approaches to retirement planning no longer apply, and how to avoid the risk of outliving money saved for retirement. "With approximately 10,000 Americans reaching retirement age every day and incredible changes in longevity and the cost of healthcare, it is now more important than ever for individuals to take action to ensure they are financially secure throughout their retirement," said Barsch. "I'll dispel some of the key misconceptions about retirement planning, and help people understand how to make their money last as long as they do." The webcast – the second as part of Northwestern Mutual's "Planning for Success" series – is taking place at 12 p.m. CST on March 5, and is open to the public and free of charge. Individuals can register here.

Paid family leave has garnered interest on Capitol Hill over the years. Currently there is no nationwide family leave law. In this Congress, several pieces of legislation have been introduced and one bill, which provided paid family leave specifically for federal employees, passed the House in June. As interest grows, more and more states are implementing their own paid family leave programs. In 2004, California became the first state to create a paid family leave program. About 18 months later, however, few parents of chronically ill children were using the program, according to an article by Mark Schuster and colleagues, published in the September 3, 2008, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. California's Paid Family Leave Insurance Program, which is funded by employees themselves through a payroll deduction, offers six weeks of paid leave each year for most part-time and full-time employees in the state. The program provides up to 55 percent of a worker's salary (with a maximum weekly benefit of $917 in 2008) for those who take time off from work to care for a child, parent, or spouse. The study found that only 5 percent of parents of children with serious chronic illnesses had used the program, despite paying into it through payroll withholdings, and only 18 percent of parents were even aware that the program exists. Before the law, 41 percent of parents did not miss work despite believing that their child's illness required it; this percentage was unchanged after the program had been in place for about 18 months. Similarly, the percentage of parents who took leave and the amount of leave they took remained unchanged. Reasons cited by parents for not taking more time from work included concern over loss of income, fear of job loss, and potential damage to careers. The authors observe that, while California workers must be notified about the paid family leave program when they start a job, there has been no sustained effort to educate the public about the program.
Mark A. Schuster is Senior Natural Scientist at RAND and Chief of General Pediatrics and Vice Chair for Health Policy Research in the Department of Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston/Harvard Medical School. Prior to moving to Boston, he held similar positions at UCLA and was Director of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention at RAND, where he held the RAND Distinguished Chair in Health Promotion. He also founded and led the UCLA/RAND Center for Adolescent Health Promotion, a community-based participatory research center funded by CDC. Dr. Schuster received his BA summa cum laude from Yale, his MD from Harvard Medical School, his MPP from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, and his PhD from RAND Graduate School.
Why do you think public awareness of this program is low in California?
There are only limited requirements for the government or employers to inform workers about the new program. Most employees seem not to have noticed the relatively small increase in their payroll deduction, so they just don't know that they are paying for this benefit.
How is the California family leave insurance program funded?
The program is funded through a state payroll deduction that averages $1 per week for most workers. So funding comes entirely from employees, not from the state's general revenues. Yet many parents who were eligible for reimbursement because they took leave to care for sick children never knew they were entitled to file a claim for money from a fund that they had paid into. It's also likely that others who didn't take leave because they couldn't afford it might have taken it if they had known about the benefit.
What do your results imply for similar family leave proposals under consideration in other states and in Congress?
If states or the federal government pass paid family leave legislation and want families to use it, they should consider building in mechanisms for informing the public. They could institute a media campaign, as they typically do with other new programs; they could establish an annual notification policy for employers and require prominent postings at work; and they could list the deduction for the program as a separate line item on employee paychecks. Other areas that policymakers could explore include what percentage of their pay people should receive and whether employees should be protected from being fired for taking leave—the federal Family and Medical Leave Act provides such protection for some employees, but California's law does not.
Do you have further research under way on this topic?
Yes. A follow-up article will provide more detail on parents' assessments of how family leave affects their children's health and their job performance. Our team has also expanded our research to examine parents with newborns, who are also covered by California's law. In addition, we hope to develop programs that use clinical settings to teach parents about leave options.

lókë is a noun meaning "snake, serpent" in Quenya.[1]
The (Qenya) form lóke (-ī) ("dragon") also appears.[2] In earlier manuscripts appear the forms lókë ("drake")[3] and lōke ("dragon")[4].
It has been suggested that the spelling according to the Quenya style of The Lord of the Rings would be lócë, meaning "dragon, snake, serpent, drake".[5]
It is derived from the Elvish root LOK.[2]

A secular state must deliver
It is hard to disagree with the main arguments of Abdullahi an-Na'im's impeccable book: a healthy religious life requires a secular state, even as political life may remain infused with the religious values of the population. And the historical examples provide added credence to the point. An Islamic state as such never existed historically, even though pre-modern states cannot be regarded as secular in the contemporary sense of the word. But there has never been a state in Islamic history that fused entirely religious and political authority after Muhammad, and it is far from obvious that Muhammad's own Medina community constituted a state or was meant as a model for any state. […]Read the rest of A secular state must deliver.

Support the Enumerated Powers Act
Calling all constitutionalists! Here's a bill you'll be glad to support: The Enumerated Powers Act, H.R. 450 and S. 1319, "To require Congress to specify the source of authority under the United States Constitution for the enactment of laws, and for other purposes."
Here's the key provision of H.R. 450 (S. 1319 reads virtually the same): "Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. The failure to comply with this section shall give rise to a point of order in either House of Congress."
Sixty members of the House are already cosponsors. There are 22 cosponsors of S. 1319 in the Senate.
Take advantage of the heightened receptiveness of Congress in this momentous election year featuring a rapidly growing Constitutionalist movement to help convince your representative and senators to support the Enumerated Powers Act.
Use these bills to put the pressure on your representative and senators to adhere to the Constitution. Phone and email them. Ask them to cosponsor these bills and work to bring them to the floors of the House and Senate for a vote. Get them on the record on their support or lack of support for obeying the Constitution.
Also use these bills to vet and influence candidates for the House and Senate in your area. Click here for a blog with similar title and content as this email that you can use for this purpose. The goal is to have a majority of constitutionalists in Congress that will abide by the enumerated powers of the Constitution.
This needs EVERYONE'S support, immediately!
The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.

I love this bill. I don't know how much it would actually slow down the statists in the Republicrat party from passing more of the usual BS, but it would certainly be entertaining to see all of the linguistic acrobatics they would have to perform to justify all of their unconstitutional legislation.
A great tool to support this bill, and others, is DownsizeDC.org.

text: Dec 11, 2011 - I have very curly but very fine hair. I have many products that define my curls and fight frizz but wanted something to add that will make it feel thicker and give more volume. I bought this and used it for about a week. I tried it alone and with other products and never could tell a bit of difference. My hair did not feel thicker at all and I actually think it affected my curls...they didn't seem as tight and bouncy. I was really hoping this would work but it didn't.

Hi. I started my transition 11 years ago and its been a gradual process. I stopped relaxing completely 5 years ago but I flat ironed each week until just a few months ago. I'm doing the curly girl method and each week I see more definition and I learn more about my curls.
A few things I want to pass on to new transitioners that might help with the process. I'm still learning but I've had a few break throughs I want to share...
- When I first stopped flat ironing my hair, it was a frizzy mess. Now that I'm on this journey I realized I used to see that, freak out and relax my hair. What I didn't know then was that my hair was showing me it needed TLC. My job was to figure out what kind of TLC it needed.(thank goodness for this site)
- Deep conditioning weekly was key in the beginning (and still is) and it took a few weeks before my curls where defined enough to look nice to go out as a wash and go style.I would deep condition and put it up as a wash and go until wearing it down was manageable (it took me a month do get there)
- Finding a good Leave in conditioner was the holy grail of my routine. No matter what conditioner I co-washed with the whole thing fell apart without a good leave in conditioner. It took me a while and it requires patience. My goal was to find something that left my hair soft after it dried. I finally found my formula (a little cantu shea butter and Kinky Kurly Knot Today)
- I need to do everything in the shower so I can easily wet my hair when there is too much product. I used to try to get out of the shower and do everything and spray with the water bottle. I never got that to work for me. If I'm too heavy handed I just run my hair under the shower quickly.
- Gels are the thing that hold the curls in one place until my hair dries ..like liquid curlers. I have to wet my hands then put a small bit of gel and smooth it through really wet hair...other wise it is crunchy and frizzy as the day goes on.
- Smoothing my hair with my fingers as I put product in makes a HUGE difference. I though I was just supposed to shake my hair and not comb it. or just use my fingers. I had pretty good definition but I still felt like a wild woman. Today a combed with a wide tooth comb and smoothed product in smaller sections. The curls are so neat! I think I'm getting the hang of this.
Hope that helps someone!

Gallery: Buried in the urban jungle, Hong Kong's temples next door
Hong Kong's almost-hidden neighborhood temples placidly stand their ground, refusing to be gobbled up by high-rise developments
Hong Kong can be a profoundly spiritual city if you know where to look. This is evidenced by tiny, historical temples that placidly stand their ground even as the neighborhood around them gets swallowed up by high-rise developments.
Here is a look at a few of Hong Kong's temples that are buried so deeply within the urban jungle you would easily miss them if you blink.

Forest Grove wins back-to-back league events to move into a tie with reigning champion Tualatin
This spring could be shaping into a special one for the Forest Grove girls golf team.
Led by reigning state champion Hannah Swanson, the Vikings recently powered to team victories in the second and third league matches of the season, allowing them to leap into a tie atop the Pacific Conference standings entering this week.
They are doing fantastic, coach Bobby Rymer said Tuesday by phone in advance of his squads fourth contest of the season, at Chehalem Glenn Golf Course in Newberg.
The two victories came after the team opened the spring in a somewhat inauspicious fashion with a fourth-place finish and a 468 score at Michelbook on April 1.
Most of the girls dont play until golf season starts, and so its knocking the dust off and getting going, Rymer said. Hannah was ready to go from the beginning. When she gets to match days, guns are blazing and her focus is completely different. With the other girls, I think its just a matter of getting the feel back and getting into the mode.
That first match, the other teams played pretty darn good too, considering, and we just didnt play as well.
But the Vikings got better in a hurry, ripping off a win at Pumpkin Ridge the following week. And on April 14, they backed up that win at Tualatin Country Club. Paced by Swansons winning score of 73, Forest Grove shot a 383, easily besting Tualatin (407) and McMinnville (427), the two teams the Vikings are battling for conference supremacy.
Tualatin is the reigning league champion, while Forest Grove qualified for state as a team last season for the first time in school history. This time around, two of the Timberwolves top players have been out of the lineup at times, Rymer said, dealing with injury and illness.
The Vikings certainly have been taking advantage. For Swanson, last weeks victory was her third in as many tries, while Emily Keller added a solid score of 87. Amanda Horne (110) and Kate Colter (113) rounded out the teams scoring. Madison Woods (122) also participated.
The win left the Vikings and Timberwolves all even with 36 points apiece and with three matches to go before the district tournament. The Grizzlies were just two points back in third place.
Of course, Swanson has certainly played a prominent role in helping her team to the top of the leader board. Through three matches, the Oregon State-bound senior had been incredibly consistent putting up scores of 74, 72 and 73 fulfilling a goal she stated at the beginning of the spring to start the season more strongly.
When she has her mind set to something, she can go out and get it, which is pretty cool, Rymer said.
Rymer also was excited about the progress some of his other players have been making. Keller shot a 100 at Pumpkin Ridge and then blew that out of the water with her 87 last week at Tualatin.
And Colter, just a freshman and the teams lone nonsenior, is improving by leaps and bounds. She was shooting in the 140s not all that long ago but trimmed that score all the way down to a 113 last week.
Shes really gotten quite a bit better and Ive helped her with a little bit of instruction on the swing since shes gotten started, and its paid off, Rymer said. Shes grasping the things that she needs to do to be able to hit the ball better, and she certainly showed that in the Tualatin match.
And with the heart of the season still on the horizon, the best could be yet to come for her and for Forest Grove.
Note: Results for Tuesdays contest at Chehalem Glenn were not available at press deadline. The Vikings are back in action next Tuesday, hosting a league tournament at Quail Valley Golf Course in Banks.

Hey everyone, I recently installed my Pioneer Avic D3 into my 2005 S60r and have had nothing but small problems that I hope can be ironed out by people more educated than myself in regards to this stuff. Let me start by telling you that I successfully installed the Dietz harness(s) properly and was able to retain my steering controls perfectly (great success!), the headunit has power, the gps works fine, and the antenna has a signal. Basically everything works well except for sound! My problems started as soon as I realized I needed the 6-pin female adapter that bridges a connection between my 6 pin male amp plug into 2 pairs of RCA cables that allow a connection to my HU for my front and rear speakers. Here is what I purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com/Volvo-Hu-F...dc1cd
I pluged the RCA cables in properly and spliced the red wire into an exisiting 12v wire, and spliced the grounding wire of the harness into an already existing ground wire (I believe this is the first issue).
By doing this type of installtion I ran into a list of problems that I hope you guys can help with:
1) A whirling noise comes from the speakers and seems to be directly associated with my accelerater pedal (I believe this is a ground loop from splicing into another ground...any thoughts?)
2) When I turn on the interior overhead lights, an odd noise comes from the speakers and continues to make this static-like noise until the overhead lights are turned off! (I have no idea how these two things are associated with each other)
3) All speakers work fine except for my driver side door (the lower speaker, not the tweeter) No sound at all, however the tweeter works fine, so that I would think that the RCA cable for front driver speakers works fine and possibly an issue elsewhere? (I never noticed if that speaker worked prior to installation)
4) I am guessing I have a short somewhere. My battery nearly died when I went to start up my car this morning. I am thinking that where ever I spliced the amp harness into the other 12v cable is just continuously keeping my amp on even when the car is off and draining my battery.
Sorry for all these nitemare questions, and as you can tell I am a newbie with this stuff. I wont have time to mess with this again untill next weekend. The first thing I plan on doing to resolve these things is to get rid of all the 12v and grounding splices I made and run wires to either the engine or the trunk to properly supply power or a clean individual ground. Hope someone out there can supply some input without being too critical. Thanks for taking the the time to read this.

K-Tel K-Takes Off Dave Marino-Nachison (TMF Braden)
November 3, 1999
Every so often, shares of entertainment and consumer products maker, marketer, and distributor K-Tel International Inc. (Nasdaq: KTEL) -- which traffics in music, videos, gifts, and auctions -- make a move that turns moon bounces green with envy.
Today was one of those days. The stock jumped more than 65% as of midafternoon -- nearly doubling early this morning -- after the company turned in first-quarter results for the period ended Sept. 30. Earnings per share were $0.30, which compares well to last year's $0.37 loss.
Great, right? Sure, if you're a K-Tel executive. "The fact is the company made a profit," CFO Steven Kahn said in a Bloomberg article, "and it's the first time in quite a few quarters." Six, actually.
That is a fact, but how important of a fact is it? After a $4.3 million gain from the sale of its Finnish subsidiary and a $600,000 expense for a stock repurchase in connection with a stockholder lawsuit, the numbers weren't nearly as pretty; K-Tel's operating loss for the quarter was $709,000, certainly better than last year's $3.2 million loss but hardly good reason for a sudden 65% boost in market value.
On top of that, revenues actually moved back slightly to $18.1 million. The company's gross margin improved year-over-year to 47.4% from 44.5%, and expenses decreased on a pure dollar basis. But that's not necessarily great news if a) sales aren't growing, and b) the company isn't trying to at least make noise in a viciously competitive online music market that includes Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and CDNow (Nasdaq: CDNW).
And we aren't given a balance sheet or cash flow statement to work with, which makes gauging K-Tel's already questionable progress even more difficult. At the end of fiscal 1999 the company was bleeding cash, and that seems likely to have continued in the most recently completed three-month period, given the operating losses and the announcement of several marketing partnerships.
But considering the stock's trading history over the last year or so -- long periods of inactivity followed by flurries of hysteria coinciding generally with company announcements -- it doesn't appear that investors are too concerned with moving beyond the first few sentences of K-Tel's press releases anyway.
Those kinds of trading patterns don't really support this company as a long-term investment. (In what must be a Foolish first, we wrote both a Double and a Trouble on the company inside of two months last year.) Anyone considering K-Tel as a solid generator of returns and shareholder value should probably exercise the most extreme caution.

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) - Scooter McFagdon scored 21 points and keyed big scoring runs in each half to lead Tennessee to a 69-57 victory over Stanford on Monday night in the opening round of the Maui Invitational.
The Volunteers (1-0) will play No. 4 North Carolina in Tuesday's semifinals. The Tar Heels (1-1) beat Brigham Young 86-50 on Monday.
McFagdon had seven points in the 11-0 run that gave the Volunteers a 17-6 lead midway through the first half.
Tennessee led 32-20 at halftime and it looked as if the Volunteers were pulling away for a laugher when they went on a 12-2 run that made it 51-31 with 11:50 to play. McFagdon had the last six points of that spurt.
But Stanford (1-1) held the Volunteers to just two field goals over the final 10 minutes and used a 14-0 burst to get to 53-47 with 5:39 left on a drive by Dan Grunfeld.
The Cardinal couldn't get any closer.
Major Wingate and C.J. Watson hit Tennessee's only two field goals of the last 10 minutes to make it 57-47. The Cardinal got within six one last time, but the Volunteers went 12-for-14 from the free-throw line over the final 2:38 - 5-for-6 by McFagdon in the final 44 seconds - to end any hopes of a Stanford comeback.
Watson had 16 points and Brandon Crump added 10 for Tennessee, which shot 48 percent from the field (24-for-50).
Grunfeld finished with 19 points for the Cardinal, while Matt Haryasz and Chris Hernandez each had 10.
The tournament is sponsored by EA Sports.

how to convert output file to compatible format
I have submitted a mathematica job to unix system to run
where I use this command
bsub -q linux64 math < test7.m> out4
test7.m is the my input file, out4 is the output filename.
But The result generated though is what I want. But the format is different from what I typed ordinary.
For examples,
2 2
> Sqrt[\[Gamma] - \[Omega] ]
where this line happens to be in my result.
which is basically
Sqrt[\[Gamma]^2 - \[Omega]^2]
originally. Notice that especiall ^2 of my superscript is off to the previous line from the term \gamma in the output file
If you all face this kind of problem can share with me? What I tried to do is basically sent my mathematica job to my school super computer to run. But the output is not in the user friendly format

OXFORD, Miss. - In a contest that was delayed nearly two hours in the bottom of the fifth inning by severe weather in the local Oxford area, Ole Miss rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh to post a 7-6 walk-off victory over No. 12 Tennessee (35-11-1, 11-8-1 SEC) at the Ole Miss Softball Complex.
Freshman third baseman Jessica Spigner led the Lady Vols offensively by going a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with two doubles and a pair of RBIs. Sophomore first baseman Jen Lapicki delivered two hits in three at-bats with a run scored, while junior second baseman Nicole Kajitani went 1-for-4 with two tallies. Junior right fielder Erinn Webb also knocked in a pair of runs via a hit by pitch with the bases loaded and a RBI pop-up to short left center.
Freshman pitcher Cat Hosfield dropped to 26-9 on the season by allowing seven earned runs on seven hits with three walks and two strikeouts over 6.2 innings of work.
Facing yesterday's winning pitcher for the Rebels Lindsey Perry, junior second baseman Nicole Kajitani wasted no time getting UT's initial hit on Sunday by blooping a single into left center leading off the top of the first inning. On a Lady Vol strikeout, Kajitani took off for second successfully swiping the base to reach scoring position with one out. Junior catcher Tiffany Huff joined her on the base paths by battling Perry to draw a walk. Spigner stepped in and laced a RBI double down the right field line and into the corner as Kajitani scored from second for a 1-0 UT lead. The occurrence marked the 25th time that Tennessee had scored in the opening inning during the 2009 campaign. With still just one retired, Lapicki was struck in the lower leg by a Perry offering, loading the bases. Webb was also hit by a pitch, forcing in Huff with the Big Orange's second tally. Senior left fielder Danielle Pieroni battled to a full count before coercing a walk to bring Spigner home for a 3-0 advantage. That ended the day in the circle for Perry as Ole Miss handed the ball to Becky Nye in relief facing a bases loaded situation and still only one out. The Rebel hurler managed to retire freshman pinch hitter Shelby Burchell on an infield pop-up just behind the circle. Her defense let her down, however, as rookie shortstop Ashley Andrews bounced to short and Lauren Grill bobbled the ball. That miscue allowed Lapicki to score from third, making it 4-0 in favor of the Lady Vols. A strikeout ended the inning, but not before UT had plated four runs on two hits, two walks, two hit batters and an Ole Miss error.
Walks came back to hurt Hosfield in the bottom half of the first as free passes issued to Ole Miss second baseman Lisa Conchos and third baseman Ashley Dowdy were cashed in with two outs. First baseman Molly Goza stepped into the batter's box and drove the first pitch she received over the center field wall for her first career home run as the Rebels roared right back into the game, trailing just 4-3.
Tennessee tried to get something going again offensively in the top of the second. Spigner laced a two-out double to wall in left and was joined on the base paths by Lapicki via a swinging bunt single. Unfortunately, the runners were left stranded at the corners on a Lady Vol strikeout.
With one out in the bottom of the third, Ole Miss' Grill ripped a Hosfield pitch into left center and to the wall for a double. Dowdy bounced out to Spigner as the fielder checked the runner before tossing across the diamond to Lapicki for the second out. Andrews handled a routine grounder to short, ending the frame as the Rebels left the tying run standing in scoring position.
Kajitani managed a walk off Nye to christen the top of the fourth frame. Sophomore center fielder Kelly Grieve bounced back to the circle as the runner advanced 60 feet into scoring position with one out. On a 3-2 offering Huff hit a shot to third that was corralled by Dowdy. The Rebel infielder checked the runner and unsuccessfully tried to catch Kajitani straying too far off second as Huff reached via the fielder's choice. With occupants at first and second and just one out, Spigner blooped a single into short left, plating Kajitani for a 5-3 lead. Following a foul out behind the plate from Lapicki, Webb was struck by a pitch for the second time in the contest, loading the bags for Pieroni. Unfortunately for the Big Orange, the Madison, Tenn., native checked her swing for strike three, leaving the bases juiced.
A lead-off infield single from right fielder Amanda Hutcherson didn't end up hurting Tennessee in the bottom of the fourth. Hosfield responded to the base runner by retiring designated player Michelle May, center fielder Alise Doubt and catcher Amber Tramp in order.
Starting the bottom of the fifth, Pieroni made an outstanding grab in left, chasing a foul ball from left fielder Corrine Doornberg well past the chalk line and diving to come up with a "web gem" catch for the initial out of the inning. With all the recent rain in the Oxford, Miss., area, the outfielder slid about 10 feet before coming up from the effort with the right side of her uniform covered in mud. Conchos stepped in and ripped a 2-2 pitch back through the middle of the infield, granting the Rebels a base runner for the fifth consecutive frame. Grill was intentionally walked to set up the force as three bases with Dowdy coming to the plate. The UM third baseman ripped a pitch to her counterpart and just off the edge of her glove at full reach for an infield single, loading the bases. Goza bounced to short as Andrews corralled the ball, turned and tossed to Kajitani covering second for the force. Kajitani was injured briefly on the slide by Dowdy, however, allowing both Conchos and Grill to score to deadlock the game at 5-5. A wild pitch from Hosfield allowed pinch runner Alyssa McGovern the chance to advance to second. With Hutcheson facing a 1-1 count and the skies quickly darkening, a rumble of thunder sent the teams and fans scrambling for safety as the game entered a delay at approximately 2:55 p.m. CT. A severe thunderstorm warning was eventually issued for the local area, bringing heavy rain, high winds and even small hail to the Ole Miss Softball Complex. The delay stretched 1 hour and 50 minutes before play resumed with Hutcheson back at the dish to battle Hosfield. The count advanced to 3-2 as the skies once again began to darken. The batter swung and laced a grounder to short that Andrews corralled before tagging the runner on her way to third, ending the eternally long inning with the score knotted at 5-5.
Grieve opened the top of the sixth by being hit by a pitch as high winds began whipping through the complex. Play continued with Huff at the plate and the Saugus, Calif., native hit into a fielder's choice at short, cutting down the lead runner at second. Spigner followed by delivering a bloop single into left center, placing a pair on the base paths with just one retired. Lapicki bounced into the hole at short for a hit as Grill dove to make the play, perhaps saving a run via her defensive effort. Webb lifted a short fly into shallow left center as Grill raced out and made a superb over the shoulder running catch before falling to the saturated ground with an apparent injury. On the catch Huff tagged up and managed to slide in under a potential tag at the plate, granting the Lady Vols a 6-5 advantage.
Bestowed the lead once again, Hosfield set to work in the bottom of the sixth with the help of some outstanding Lady Vol defense. She retired May with the assistance of a great running catch in short right center from Kajitani and then got a routine grounder to shortstop from Doubt for two quick outs. Tramp lifted a short pop-up just to the third base side of the circle. Spigner raced in from her defensive position and dove fully extended to make an outstanding, inning-ending grab.
After getting the first out of Ole Miss' final chance in regulation in the bottom of the seventh, Hosfield grooved a pitch to Conchos that she deposited well over the left field wall, tying the contest at 6-6. The 5-9 right hander rebounded to strikeout Courtnie Ghinaudo, before allowing a walk-off home run to left center by Dowdy as the Rebels posted the walk-off triumph.
No. 12 Tennessee returns home to Lee Softball Stadium for a mid-week, non-conference match-up against Appalachian State on Wed., April 22nd, at 7 p.m. ET. The Sports Animal (990 AM, 99.1 FM, 99.3 FM) will be on site to broadcast the game live with "The Voice of the Lady Vols" Mickey Dearstone behind the microphone. Live stats will also be available through utladyvols.com.

Of all the observations to be drawn from Bayern's victory on Wednesday evening, there is one in particular which muscled its way into the headlines in Germany and England alike. That Toni Kroos is anything but surplus to requirements in Munich.
It wasn't just his own, radiant performance. It wasn't just the wave of gushing that inevitably comes with such a beautiful goal. It was also the way that – if it had eluded the international audience until now – Guardiola's system of rotation truly proved itself in the eyes of the world.
For while Manchester United fans may have got terribly excited by Kroos' little grumble with Guardiola last month, this game truly proved how insignificant his temporary exclusion really was. That Bayern's midfield is versatile enough to leave players out is exactly what Guardiola wanted. That different players rise to the challenge that squad depth sets at different moments is cleverly incorporated bonus.
Kroos could not have proved his worth in a finer way than he did at the Emirates. But around him, the virtues of rotation were exposing themselves in other ways. We saw, for example, Phillipp Lahm take over from Javi Martinez in midfield after Bayern had got the game under their control. Martinez, the man so good at cutting out the long ball counter attack, would have been less potent than Lahm with Bayern pressing Arsenal's box.
We also saw Thomas Müller, not a stranger to playing on the left, on the bench, despite the lack of either of Bayern's top left sided attackers. And then we saw Bayern overload the right wing. So very aware that Arsenal may try to exploit the weakened left hand side, Guardiola was not willing to risk building too many attacks through David Alaba's superb offensive capabilities. Of all his touchline orders, one stood out: vociferously pointing to the ground in front of a sheepish Alaba: stay back sometimes, David, Ribéry isn't here to bail you out.
A nearly catastrophic backpass and a missed penalty aside, Alaba held his own under unfamiliar circumstances. His mentality, incidentally, is the reason he is considered a penalty taker. Or have we forgotten that glorious strike in the semi-final shootout against Real Madrid two years ago? Already suspended for the Final, the then 19-year-old ignored the pressure of taking the first penalty, and left Iker Casillas gaping at a bulging net.
One could go on and on about the different attributes of this squad, and while the performance in North London certainly did not show them at their most scintillating best, it did show the heightened subtlety and adaptability which Guardiola brought to this already excellent team.
Arsenal 0 Bayern Munich 2: Player ratings
Arsenal 0 Bayern Munich 2: Player ratings
1/24 Wojciech Szczesny - 6/10
Kept the home side level in the opening minutes with superb save from Toni Kroos. Tried to get out of way of Robben but did catch the winger.
2/24 Bacary Sagna - 5
Frenchman stuck to task well but was unable to get forward as the hosts faced a shortfall in numbers. Slow to react for Müller's clinching second.
3/24 Per Mertesacker - 6
Has been in fine form alongside Koscielny and maintained that in first half. Blocked Robben shot and put body on line in effort to keep score down.
4/24 Laurent Koscielny - 7
Calm under pressure and dealt well with crosses. Fine tackle on Mandzukic before shooting weakly at Neuer but lucky not to concede late penalty.
5/24 Kieran Gibbs - 6
Stood up well as the hosts weathered Bayern's early attacks before succumbing to a hamstring injury. Replaced by Monreal after half an hour.
6/24 Mathieu Flamini - 6
Crucial block in front of Szczesny from Alaba before wasting chance from Sanogo lay-off. Never gave up and forced to ball out Özil for his lack of effort.
7/24 Jack Wilshere - 6
Enjoyed early battle with Bayern's pass masters but struggled to impose himself fully on the game before tiring. Came in for some rough treatment.
8/24 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 6
Revelled in link play with Sanogo and almost got in behind the Bayern back line before Neuer cleared. Replaced by Rosicky in final minutes.
9/24 Mesut Ozil - 5
Trickery won penalty in opening minutes before his night went rapidly downhill. Failed miserably from spot and was anonymous thereafter.
10/24 Santi Cazorla - 6
Creative fulcrum of Arsenal's early attacks and forced Neuer into action before harshly being sacrificed as Fabianski was brought on.
11/24 Yaya Sanogo - 6
Surprise pick but linked up well with Oxlade-Chamberlain, offering a muscular presence. Forced Neuer into early saves. Marooned towards the end.
12/24 Lukasz Fabianski - 6
Brought on at end of first half following Szczesny's red. Went wrong way for penalty but only had to watch as Alaba hit post. Made vital stop from Kroos.
13/24 Manuel Neuer - 6
Stayed tall to make what proved an invaluable penalty save from Ozil. Caught by Sanogo but had little to do as the hosts struggled with ten men.
14/24 Philipp Lahm - 8
Began match stationed in now unfamilar defensive role but flourished after being pushed forward after break. Assisted both of the champion's goals.
15/24 Jerome Boateng - 6
Offered a leg for Ozil to win Arsenal's early penalty and fortunate not to earn second booking shortly after. Taken off for Rafinha at the break.
16/24 Dante - 6
Brazilian cut an imposing figure but struggled at times in opening exchanges against the pace of Oxlade-Chamberlain. Showed good positional sense.
17/24 David Alaba - 6
Got forward at every opportunity but wasted chance as he dragged penalty against post. Sloppy distribution angered manager Guardiola.
18/24 Javi Martinez 7
Aided German side's defensive efforts and, as with many of team-mates, found himself busier before the interval prior to the red card.
19/24 Thiago Alcantara - 8
Spaniard held defensive lines well before making most of advantage in personnel after break. Composed on ball and rivalled Kroos as visitor's most effective player.
20/24 Toni Kroos - 8
Thought he had given Germans lead only for superb Szczesny save. Set up Robben for penalty incident before curling home delightfully for opener.
21/24 Arjen Robben - 8
Arjen Robben Flying Dutchman had one effort blocked before earning penalty as Szczesny brought him down. A consistent threat from the right side all night.
22/24 Mario Gotze - 6
Always posed a threat with his delivery from the wings and dead-balls but did not impact on the games as much as his team-mates.
23/24 Mario Mandzukic - 6
Almost through on goal but stopped by desperate Koscielny tackle. Unable to kill game off as Bayern dominated and taken off with half an hour to go.
24/24 Thomas Muller - 7
Left on bench until final exchanges before replacing Mandzukic. Succeeded where his Croatian team-mate had failed, killing off the tie with a predatory header.
The finest example of that, of course, was Kroos' individual performance. All of Thomas Müller, Phillipp Lahm and Matthias Sammer have opined in the last few weeks that players must accept the competition, but perpetually fight only for the team. In Sammer's philosophy – focused so much on individuals and leaders – that means carrying the team along with brilliant solo performances.
That is what Kroos did against Arsenal. The perfect team player, with the burning desire to prove his own individual worth to Guardiola's troops, he balanced selflessness perfectly with self-belief.
It is the attitude which Guardiola and Sammer are creating within their set up, and Kroos will not be the last player to return from an internal setback burning to show his brilliance. Others too, will pull off such brilliant individual performances, designed solely to make this already splendid team even greater.

The subject of Thermopyl appears to have been a favorite with Simonides.
Quite correct, Socrates, if Simonides is to be believed, said Polemarchus interposing.
And Simonides never says that he praises him who does no evil voluntarily; the word 'voluntarily' applies to himself.
When Simonides said that the repayment of a debt was justice, he did not mean to include that case?
Philothea interrupted her, by saying, "I should much rather hear something from the pure and tender-hearted Simonides."
Prodicus, I said, Simonides is a countryman of yours, and you ought to come to his aid.
Simonides used to say that he never regretted having held his tongue, but very often had he felt sorry for having spoken.
Let us ask Prodicus, for he ought to be able to answer questions about the dialect of Simonides.
Still (contends Simonides) there are other pleasures greater than those of sense.
The dream or apparition of Simonides was more useful to himself personally.

For a Major League hair cut, baseball players pick Miami's Juice
By David Adams
MIAMI (Reuters) - Before Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez takes the mound Friday night seeking to make pitching history, his pre-game ritual will involve a trip to the barbershop.
Not just any barber, however. Fernandez will visit Hugo "Juice" Tandron, the heavily tattooed son of Cuban exiles who operates Major League Baseball's only private stadium barbershop out of a converted storage room at Marlins Park.
There is no set price to sit for a cut from Tandron, but business - and the tips - are good. A bald man with a long black beard, Tandron has such a steady stream of players, their relatives and team staff as clients that he is open six hours ahead of each home game and makes house calls during the off-season.
"He's family," said second baseman Dee "Flash Jr." Gordon, who recently had Tandron add a lightning bolt to the side of his head.
Tandron was plucked from obscurity by the Marlins thanks to a mixture of hard work, an affable street cred and talent. His motto is, "no two cuts are the same," and his reputation is for unique and meticulous hair styling.
Some of the game's legends, including Reggie Jackson and Andre Dawson, as well as former Atlanta Braves' pitchers Greg Maddux and John Smoltz, are among those who have sought out Tandron, 45, for a trim.
Last year during the play-offs, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford flew Tandron first class to California.
"He put me up at the W (hotel), for one cut," said Tandron Continued...

RPT-Argentina on way to meeting bond pricing target
(Repeats to Reuters products)
By Paul Kilby and Davide Scigliuzzo
NEW YORK, April 18 (IFR) - Argentina was well on its way to achieving pricing targets on its first cross-border bond in 15 years after order books on the multi-tranche deal swelled to over US$50bn on Monday, IFR reported.
Strong demand for one of the few emerging markets turnaround stories has raised expectations of a final yield of 7.75%-7.875% on a 10-year tranche that is anchoring the deal's pricing.
Argentina set initial price thoughts of 6.75% area on a three-year bond and 8% area on a 10-year. A five-year is offered at 50bp below the 10-year yield, and a 30-year at 85bp over it.
Investors and the sovereign have been in a tug of war over pricing ever since the new government of President Mauricio Macri said it would raise up to US$15bn to settle claims with holdout creditors.
The finance ministry has been gunning for an average cost of 7.5% across all tranches, while many on the buyside have insisted that an 8% handle was required on the 10-year.
But strong demand for a deal that saw over US$25bn in indicative interest even before books opened will almost certainly mean the 10-year will price inside 8%.
"It should have been 8% [on the 10-year], but technicals and demand will probably overshadow fundamentals," said Sean Newman, a senior portfolio manager at Invesco Fixed-Income. Continuación...

bilge pump system with mulitple bukheads???
1 Attachment(s)
Hi there, I'm a brand new member here, although I have been reading threads for quite some time, info here has proved invaluable...what a resource!
My question for debate is as follows..
I am trying to design a bilge pump system for a 42' Zulu, rebuilt recently, that has 3 watertight bulkheads, hence 4 compartments. I have so far thought that all hoses that come from strum boxes in respective compartments should come to a manifold via taps. This means that if compartment 1 is filling, you open tap 1 and then choose your pump, open the tap to that pump (manual, electric or engine clutch pump), close taps to other pumps so water will not back down them, and Bobs your mother's brother. This was explained to me by a friend who worked on ships systems...
The problem arises when i am away from the boat and she springs a leak. When i am away, I planned to leave all compartment hose taps open, as i would not know where a leak might come from, and leave the electric pump on auto with float switches. BUT, if a leak occurs in compartment 1, and all hose taps are open, the electric bilge pump will also be sucking in air from the three remaining dry compartments...... see attached drawing....
This system also means that I should have 8, yes 8! float switches, one normal and one high water for each compartment!
Is there a way round all this?
How about multiple pumps?
Re: bilge pump system with mulitple bukheads???
In my opinion watertight means watertight, which means no connnection of water to other compartments. Therefore it is best to design individual pumps for each compartment with their individual seacocks.
Re: bilge pump system with mulitple bukheads???
So how is it done on major ships with water tight bulkheads then? I am trying to build redundancy into the pump system, so I have manual, electric, and engine pumps available. aft in one compartment.. if i have a pump system for each compartment, that would mean 12 pumps (three for each), and four exit holes instead of one (manifold). Phew! Thats a serious pump system for a 40 footer....
Re: bilge pump system with mulitple bukheads???
But I take your point, well made, that if the four hoses are left open to the electric pumps while I am away, one compartment could flood another by backing down the next hose.....Doh!
One compartment one pump. Each pump one auto/manual switch. You can limit through hulls with check valves. EG 2 pumps one TH or 3 pumps 1 TH. Easy.
Re: bilge pump system with mulitple bukheads???
Thanks for your reply...So I will end up with 4 electric pumps that handle the whole boat ( probably with their own batteries), and a manual and engine pump that only handles one compartment...? There has to be a way for the whole boat to be covered by one electric, one manual and one engine pump with canny piping. I have never had watertight bulkheads before, which I am glad to have, but the bilge system is foxing me! Anyone out there with bulkheads that have got around this problem with less pumps? thanks again Sea Hunter...
Whoa there; batteries? Batteries need a charging system of some type; if you're a going to run wires for that you might as well just send them directly to the pumps. Sounds like you need a qualified marine electrician as induvidual batteries are not required for each pump.
Re: bilge pump system with mulitple bukheads???
I can wire up myself, but would rather solve the problem with fewer pumps and a better piping/hose system. Also, if I have 4 electric pumps, one in each compartment, and one compartment floods entirely it could short out the whole batt system. I would rather have all batts, pumps and taps aft, in one place and to hand. Not a big fan of having lots of non-return valves if I can avoid it as they clog, and consequentely cease to function. One electric, one manual, and one engine pump should handle it from the aft compartment, keeping electric lines short and everything to hand.
The question is the hosing layout which will not allow water into a dry compartment if another one floods, or allow air to be sucked up from a dry compartment when the float switch activates in a wet one...........hmmmm.....
I am trying to build in ease of use and redundancy, without 6 pumps and 8 float switches which seems excessive for a 40 footer!
Actually, there will be 2 manuals, 2 electrics and one engine pump but the song remains the same.....how to hose them with watertight bulkheads and leave the boat safe in the knowledge that the float switches and hose layout will kick in satisfactorily....

Around The Peak In A Single Day (On Bikes)
By Noel Black On May 24, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In A Big Something, Cycling, Interviews, Outdoors and Nature
Summer has finally landed, and summer means bikes.
Last Summer, six local gentlemen set off on mountain bikes to do what only a handful have done before: ride the entire "Ring the Peak Trail" around Pikes Peak in one day. Three of the riders—Doug Johnson, Scott Boyer and Jon Csakany—spoke with us and shared their photos of the ride in the slideshow above.
Created by and marked byFriends of the Peak over the past decade, the Ring the Peak trail is …
… a collection of trails, four wheel drive roads, and a few paved roads that circumnavigates Pikes Peak The trails cross federal, state, county, city, and sometimes private lands. The total length of the trail system is approximately 63 miles with approximately 80% of the trails completed.
Design and construction is ongoing for the remaining 20%. The altitude ranges between 6,400 feet in Manitou Springs to 11,400 feet in Bull Park, consequently many trails are obscured by snow during the winter months. Ten portals have been designated as access points to the trails, although there are numerous other ways to find your way to the trails.
We recommend their site highly if you want to know more. It has lots of information, links to maps and detailed written descriptions.
We also highly recommend Scott Morris' excellent blog post and beautiful GPS map of his ride.

More than Mortal Beauty
Pro-Life Is Prettier: Beauty in the Pro-Life Movement

Do I believe pro-life people are prettier than the pro-abortion crowd? Absolutely, I do.
They are prettier on the inside,which in turn radiates to the exterior. All one had to do to see my point was spend ten minutes observing the participants at this week's 39th Annual March for Life held in Washington D.C.
The pro-life marchers were seeping joy from every pore and exuding an unmistakable wholesomeness. That's because being pro-life is a wholesome and good thing. There is nothing good and wholesome about being pro-abortion. Abortion is ugly and so are its supporters.
Compare the attitudes and smiles of the pro-life youth with those of the 2 dozen pro-abortion counter protesters—angry snarls, taunting obscenities, and hateful frowns. Ugliness is the purest sense. They held signs declaring "Keep Abortion Safe, Legal, and Rare" and "My Body, My Choice," completely oblivious to the irony of their messages.
Why the word "rare"? If abortion is a good thing, why should it be a rare thing? Could it be, perhaps, because it's a bad thing—a very bad thing, the worst thing ever?
So, by their own admission these women acknowledge that abortion is not good yet continue to support it. "My Body, My Choice" signs leave me as equally dumbfounded because infants in the womb have bodies too. They are not incorporeal spirit beings that don't assume their human form until being born. *Poof* it's a baby! No, human development does not work that way. A pre-born baby has a body and I am sure if you asked him or her, he or she would "choose" to be born.

Let me clear, I'm not talking about the beauty of youth. The beauty I am referring to transcends age. Yes, there were a lot of attractive young people at the March for Life. The majority of attendants were high school and college-aged. However, there were huge numbers of adults there too. Priests and nuns of every age, parents, chaperones, school administrators, parish personnel—you name it. The passion that drove them to stand out in freezing rain for hours on end transformed their faces into an angelic beauty. These were the faces of people who knew they were supporting a just and noble cause. The March for Life was as much about ending abortion in our country as it was about celebrating life.
