BUIES CREEK – Jake Kirkland blasted his fourth home run of the season with one out in the bottom of the tenth to give Campbell a 6-5 walk-off win over visiting Valparaiso in the series opener Friday afternoon. The Camels enter Saturday's doubleheader 11-3 overall and riding the program's longest winning streak since the 2004 squad won seven straight games.
Logan Self (3-1) earned the win in relief of Campbell starter Matt Sergey, who had thrown 7.1 strong innings on the mound, scattering eight hits and five runs (four earned) in his no decision. Sergey also struck out six Crusader batters while walking two. Self picked up his third win of the season, allowing just one hit in his 2.2 innings of work and striking out two of the seven batters he faced.
Campbell got on the board first in the second inning, as David Olson lined a one-out single up the middle and was driven home on Josh Holskey's RBI double to give CU a 1-0 advantage.
Valpo took the lead in the third, scoring its first run on a two-out double down the right field line from Steven Scoby that plated Andrew Bain. The Crusaders tacked on another run when Bain scored on a single to the shortstop.
Scoring two more runs in the fourth inning, Valpo increased its lead to 4-1 on Bain's two-RBI double. Bain finished two-for-four with two RBI and one run scored for the Crusaders.
The Camels immediately got one run back in the bottom of the frame as Josh Holskey added his second RBI of the day on a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Kirkland. Kirkland had reached base on a fielder's choice and advanced to third on a single from Olson.
The pivotal three-run seventh inning rally with CU trailing 4-2 came after two outs had been recorded in the inning. Kyle Holmstrom recorded a single to third base and pinch hitter Bryce Grady single to center field to put two on base. Jimmy Brenneman then tripled down the right field line to score two Camels and then scored the go-ahead run himself when the right-fielder's throw to third base entered the Campbell dugout.
The Crusaders fought back to tie the game in the top of the eighth with Will Hagel singling home Chris Manning to even the score at 5-5. Manning was two-for-five with one RBI and one run scored on the afternoon and joined Bain as the other Crusader with two hits.
Jarad Miller entered in relief of Valpo starter Tyler Deetjen with one on and one out in the eighth inning and allowed only one walk in his two innings of relief until Kirkland's at-bat in the tenth.
Valpo drops to 4-8 on the season and Miller falls to 2-1 with the loss. The two teams will meet for a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon, with first pitch of Game 1 slated for 1 p.m. at Taylor Field.

Former 'Dancing With the Stars' Contestant Aiden Turner Arrested for Domestic Violence
Onetime 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant and former 'All My Children' star Aiden Turner was arrested for domestic violence this week.
Turner, 36, and his partner got into a fight at their apartment in Hollywood, causing him to hurl a remote control at her. It hit her in the eye, leaving her with cuts and bruises. Ouch!
Since Turner's lady love's injuries were minor, the case will probably be labeled a misdemeanor and that's it.
TMZ filmed the actor and dancer, who competed on Season 10 of the dance competition back in 2010, after he was released from jail. He offered a statement to his girlfriend, using her pet name, saying, "I love you, monkey."
We will applaud Turner for not blowing a gasket at the TMZ cameraman trying to goad him, especially since he was just released from custody. He gets a gold star for not losing his temper when he easily could have.

Selfies Aside, Millennials Are More Humble Than BoomersBy
It's hard out there for a Millennial. They're chastised for taking selfies, for Kardashifying celebrity culture, and for living with their parents way longer than anyone, including their parents, thinks is good for them. But it turns out that they might not be as wrapped up in themselves as everyone else thinks. According toa Psychological Science study (PDF) by Emily Bianchi, an assistant professor of organization and management at Emory University's Goizueta Business School, people who start their careers during a recession are considerably less narcissistic than people who come of age (coughBoomerscough) during periods of relative prosperity.
"I was very interested in the studies that came out four or five years ago that said narcissism had increased among college students since the 1980s," Bianchi explains, referring to work by psychologists such as Jean Twenge, who has documented a noticeable rise in self-importance among young people over the decades. She continues:
But then during the recession I was reading a lot of first hand accounts of college graduates who expressed gratitude even though they, through no fault of their own, were entering the workforce during the worst economy in generations. So I wondered if the great recession might have tempered their narcissism.
Bianchi conducted three studies: a simple online survey, an analysis of thousands of face-to-face interviews, and a correlation of chief executive officer pay grades relative to the unemployment rate when the CEO first entered the workforce. In all three, she found that there was a distinct correlation between the economic conditions during someone's first few years of work and their level of narcissism later in life. In 2010, for example, the unemployment rate for people aged 16 to 24 was 20 percent, compared to 8.2 percent for adults aged 25 to 54. "That's likely to make them reassess their entitlement and uniqueness in a way that wasn't true for people who graduated college in the 1990s and felt like they could do anything," Bianchi says. It's interesting that in the first two studies, men tended to be slightly more narcissistic than women.
Most surprising to Bianchi was how people's new-found humility persisted even as the economy improved and they advanced in their careers. She studied the 2007 pre-recession compensation of 2,095 CEOs from major public companies and found that those who started working when the economy was good tended to pay themselves 1.3 times as much in salary and bonuses as those who entered the job market during hard economic times. (The CEOs' salaries were compared to those of executives in their own companies, not with other CEOs'.) This time, there was no gender difference—96 percent of the CEOs were men. "That was probably the most depressing result for me—there weren't very many women to count," Binachi says.
So why does the narcissistic, selfie-taking, Millennial stereotype still exist? Part of the reason is because Internet culture makes it easy to see—and judge—what they're doing. A further reason, Bianchi says, may simply be that Millennials are at the stage of life in which people are naturally the most self-centered. A typical twentysomething has left parents behind but has not yet married or started a family. A Millennial really has only one person to care for. Past studies have shown that people become less self-absorbed as they age; families and children shift their attention, and adversity and failure deflate exaggerated self-importance. In other words, if you think Millennials have been humbled by the recession now, just wait until they're 40.

So, does anyone want an actual blurry question mark shirt ? My son didn't think it was funny at all. The shirt is AA ML.
He likes ninja's, dragons,zombies, stuff like that.
I realize that my request may be a bit odd, especially considering it was available 2 weeks ago as a side sale, but does anyone have a Coffee Levels Critical shirt in ML? I was going to purchase it, and although it "Expires July 16," it was taken down on July 15! I'm willing to trade or purchase a shirt off the reckoning.

EDITED--- both have been traded.
I just lost +50lbs of weight and am trying to buy back my old Shirt.Woot wardrobe, since everything is way too big for me now. Unfortunately, I was unaware of the ridiculous, vanity sizing bull**** that Shirt.Woot has reduced itself to.... Ergo, I've been completely screwed out of my money, my love of this site, and any type of fitting shirt.
I just bought the Flesh Wound Shirt in a WL.
I'd happily trade for something my size, considering that, at the moment, I only have 4 t-shirts that quasi-fit me.
I really need Women's S, or XS, if those even exist, as far as Anvil goes. I can wear a WM or WL in AA. SOS.

Katsuya Inoue Bests Katsuhiko Nagata at Cage Force:
Olympic Silver Medalist Katsuhiko Nagata has expressed a desire to return to the larger stages of MMA but it looks like his lack of tools and paper-thin skin may betray him.
In his unanimous decision loss to former two time interim Welterweight King of Pancrase Katsuya Inoue at Cage Force 17 in Differ Ariake, he was again cut open and out struck after controlling but not winning the majority of the fight.
Full results and a breakdown of the fights below.
Nagata controlled the first two rounds but failed to win them. In both rounds Nagata crushed Inoue against the cage in the clinch but there he was unable to do anything other than ineffective knees to the thigh. A pattern of clinch-hold-break with a few stalemates on the mat resulted in a warning for action to both fighters but still Nagata was not able to cause any damage.
By the third round, Inoue realized that he was in no real danger of being hurt by Nagata and came out clearly trying to finish, battering Nagata with punches while completely lowering his guard. Within moments of Inoue starting to land on Nagata, cuts started to open up on the wrestler's face around the eyes and cheeks, causing heavy bleeding.
After two rounds of no action and the third round going completely in Katsuya Inoue's favor, he took the unanimous decision. Heavy bleeding is starting to become a regular fixture in Nagata's fights, most notably in his TKO loss via a cut to Vitor Riberio at DREAM.8 after getting hit with a single knee.
A step up in competition may have left Koji Ando's record in tatters initially but it looks like he is finally used to this new level. His opponent, Hiroki Nagaoka had 31 more fights under his belt but that experience wasn't enough to enable Nagaoka to break out of a losing game plan half way through the fight.
Both fighters fought southpaw but that was where the similarities ended. It was a boxer vs. slugger match, with Nagaoka sending winging lefts at Ando which where easily evaded and answered with crisp, straight counter punches. Ando established his jab immediately and used it to control the first round. Unwilling to take the fight to the mat in the second and third rounds, Nagaoka was unable to find an answer on the feet other than "punch harder". His attempts to bring Ando into a brawl were fruitless and by the end of the match Nagaoka was bleeding heavily from his mouth after three rounds of constant jabs, hooks and straight punches which were landing at an alarmingly high rate.
All three judges had no difficulty in awarding Ando the much needed win.
Satoshi Nishino looked like he might have a chance to break his four fight losing streak after a solid first round against "Runki". With the standup about even, Nishino forced a takedown off the cage and held on to his opponent and while not able to land any effective ground and pound secured the round. on the judges cards.
His luck round out in the second though when a second takedown attempt was reversed after Nishinio started to lose the exchanges on the feet. With Runki now in the top position he put on an elbow and ground and pound clinic the likes of which is rarely seen in Japan. The elbows from guard, half-guard and side control completely sapped Nishino of the will to fight and from midway through the second round he was a defeated fighter.
The actual defeat didnt come until two seconds before the final bell when the referee decided that he had seen enough.
Runki improved to 5-1 with his only loss coming to the much more experienced Wataru Takahashi.
Naoto Miyazaki's karate styled front kicks to the body gave Asato Hashimoto no choice other than to take the fight to the ground. On the mat though, Hashimoto found no more success, under threat multiple times with arm in guillotines but was still able to nullify most of Miyazaki's attacks.
The fight was still up for grabs in the third round until Hashimoto tired and got caught in an rear-naked choke that would have been the end of him if he weren't saved by the bell. One judge saw it a draw but Miyazaki still managed to get the favor of the other two officials to come away with the majority decision.
The difference between Masahito Hisataka and "Ryo AKB" was clear from the onset as the southpaw, Ryo looped his overhands lefts that were easily evaded and countered with straight rights from Hishitaka. After realizing that he was fighting a losing battle on the feet, Ryo's attempts to then take the fight to the canvas were sprawled on and so Hisataka was easily able to secure the unanmous decision after three rounds
In the opening fight "Shota" came out like a bull from the gates and looked to have Kosuke Terashima in trouble with his striking and ground and pound until Shota managed to get himself caught in a triangle choke at 2:35 of the first round.

Yasuko Tamada Captures Flyweight Title, Rin Nakai moves to 7-0 at Valkyrie
Yasuko Tamada was only able to secure one win in her first seven appearances in the ring. Since then, the Megumi Fujii trained flyweight has picked up ten victories without suffering defeat and tonight picked up the Valkyrie Flyweight Title with a win over Naoko Omuro at Valkyrie 6 in Differ Ariake in Tokyo.
Also one the card, Rin Nakai remained undefeated in seven outings and cemented her place among the top 135 pound women in the world with a solid decision win over 36 fight veteran Megumi Yabushita.
Full results and a breakdown of the fights below. Yasuko Tamada dominated Naoko Omuro in their rematch to be crowned the first Valkyrie Flyweight (100 lb) Champion. Through three rounds, Tamada secured double legs, trips and body lock takedowns and on the mat controlled the fight positionally, landing strikes along the way along with coming close to finishing multiple times with armbars, head-arm chokes and rear naked chokes. Omuro made it through to the closing bell but easily lost a unanimous judges decision.
It was Tamada's most impressive performance to date and she moves to 12-4-3 and is now 10-0-1 since November 2006.
Rin Nakai moved to 7-0 with her unanimous decision win over a much more experienced Megumi Yabushita. The first round was dictated by Nakai's overhand right which she landed at will but Yabushita's chin was up to the task. As Yabushita relaised that it was a bad idea to stand and trade with Nakai, she attempted to bring the fight to the mat in the second and third rounds but Nakai was also dominant there, controlling and punching from side control. Some unorthodox submission attempts and a pinwheel kick from Yabushita was not enough to make this competitive and Nakai was handed the unanimous decision.
With Nakai's strength, ground technique and athleticism she has the potential to be a legitamte contender on an international level but her striking, aside from her right, lacks polish at this point in time.
Ayame Miura moved to 2-0 and was impressive in her unanimous decision win over Mutsumi Kasai, hounding her opponent from the opening bell with takedowns and ground and pound. Despite a rally from Kasai in the second round, Ayame came home strong in the final round, coming close to getting the referee stoppage with ground and pound before the closing bell sounded.
Megumi Morioka was outclassed by Naho "Sugi Rock" Sugiyama, Moioka clearly having trouble finding her range throughout the fight and missing by a matter of feet with most of her strikes. In the second round a failed takedown attempt by Morioka was easily reversed by Sugiroke leading to her getting back mount and pounding for the referee stoppage at 2:20.

Have you and your family got links to the Abbey? Family baptisms, confirmations, weddings? Were you a member of Sunday School, Youth Club, Guides, Brownies, Scouts, Cubs?
What memories do you have of events at the church or people there?
Did you take part in the 1955 Pageant? or have you any photos of events and people?
We are especially seeking copies of the plans/architects drawings of the Clapton Rolfe build of 1876 and Harold Brakespear builds of 1906-1930
The materials so far collected and the gift of artefacts linked to the church and parish have inspired the project. We are recording and storing as much information as possible about our church and parish from 1850 to the present day in as well as the the history of the Abbey from its earliest days.
Part 1 covers the start of planning to rebuild the church and the first two vicars.

Are people still clamoring for a breakout board for this camera? At some point in the fairly near future I'll have a workable Eagle CAD component for this device that allows for hand soldering (if you can do surface mount by hand) and could easily make a breakout board based on this. Just let me know
No public wish lists :(

i always have trouble with my ammo belt shifting around during a long troop.
so, i sewed some velcro into the belly of the suit, and put industrial velcro on the inside of the belt/pouches. so now the belt sticks right where i want it to be and doesn't even think about moving.
only took a few minutes, but made all the difference in the world the last time i wore the suit.

And the gold for dramatic gesture goes to ..
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - Losing at the Olympics hurts. But suffering an injustice, real or imagined, is agony.
The 2012 Games have been peppered with debatable refereeing, a technical glitch in fencing, post-race relegation and - this one a first - the controversial expulsion of eight badminton players judged to have broken the spirit, but not the rules, of their sport.
Throw in an embarrassing mix-up over national flags and a fair measure of crowd-power, and London has provided its share of memorable moments where passion has spilled into protest and petulance, frustration and fury.
Early frontrunners for drama gold include South Korea's Shin A-lam, who sat on the fencing piste, weeping, for an hour in protest at her elimination from the epee semi-final.
She is up against the North Korean women's soccer team, who refused to take the field in the city of Glasgow for a match against Colombia because a giant video screen mistakenly showed the flag of their country's sworn enemy South Korea.
While Iranian boxer Ali Mazaheri stormed out of the ring after being disqualified, home cyclist Victoria Pendleton simply held her head in disbelief after being disqualified in an event where she could have won gold, then fought back tears in an interview.
"Many athletes have worked with their support teams on possible outcomes," said Andrew Lane, professor of sports psychology at the University of Wolverhampton in England, "but these unusual decisions you just can't cater for."

1242 Fifty years before the foundation of the Swiss Confederation was laid, hunters from the Benedictine monastery in Pfäfers discover hot springs gushing from the treacherous rocks of the Tamina Gorge. Hot water in abundance – a veritable miracle!
These 'akrato' waters, a term derived from the Greek language meaning 'pure, hot springs with a low mineral content', emerge 20 m to the right of the Tamina River at 639 m.a.s.l. and have a constant temperature of 36.5º C. This natural outflow of ground water originates from the Tödi catchment area, seeping through the crystalline sedimentary rocks of this region and finally springing forth in the Tamina Gorge a decade later.
14th c. It's small wonder that soon afterwards the notion of bathing in these thermal springs catches on. The abbots build the first bathhouse near the source.
1840 On 31st May, a 4 km-long conduit is completed to transport the thermal waters from the source directly to Hof Ragaz.
1868 After prolonged negotiations, the internationally acclaimed Swiss architect, Bernhard Simon (1816 – 1900), acquires the domain of Ragaz from the Canton of St. Gallen as well as a licence to utilise the hot springs for a period of 100 years. Upon signing the licensing and sales agreement, Simon commits himself to building not only "a splendiferous inn set among gardens and a gracious park", but also drinking fountains, a Kursaal and new bathing facilities by the beginning of the 1870 holiday season. Thus, a Swiss architect, whom the Russian nobility often commissioned for their imposing St. Petersburg edifices, becomes the founder of today's Health, Spa & Golf Resort.
1869 Grand Hotel Quellenhof and the Helenabath, named after the Russian grand princess, open their doors at the end of July.
1870 The opening of the Kursaal. The Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 proves disastrous for the spa: numerous guests stay at home or pack their bags and leave in a hurry.
1871 Bernhard Simon builds Europe's first indoor thermal pool at Bad Ragaz.
1872 Bad Ragaz establishes itself as one of the world's most fashionable health resorts. A cosmopolitan clique of the rich, beautiful and powerful congregate here during the holiday season. The Grand Hotels Bad Ragaz remains operative without interruption over the ensuing decades.
1900 Bernhard Simon, founder of the world-renowned health resort, dies on 28 July. His grave is to be found in Bad Ragaz cemetery. Bernhard Simon had previously passed on his possessions including the Resort to his three sons in 1891.
1904 The first 9-hole golf course is built in the Heulöser area. Golf had previously been played in the "Fluppe".
1939 With the outbreak of World War 2, the Quellenhof closes.
1957 The Hotel Quellenhof reopens under new management. The building, baths and Medical Health Centre are renovated and expanded under the supervision of Zurich architect Otto Glaus. New, spacious landscaped grounds are created.
1962 Acquisition of the tennis courts by the Bad Ragaz tennis club and refurbishment of the tennis facilities on Maienfelderstrasse.
1970 Opening of the Valens Clinic. The Pfäfers bath building continues to operate as a restaurant in the gorge.
1973 Transition to an all-year-round operation and opening of the 3rd thermal swimming pool with relaxation hall and solarium; at the same time, the old bath is renovated and a new heating system installed.
1986 For the first time, refreshing 'Ragazer Wasser' is available as salubrious table water at Grand Hotels Bad Ragaz and in other establishments in Bad Ragaz.
1992 Opening of a new wing at Grand Hotel Hof Ragaz with 57 single and 20 double rooms plus 4 suites.
1994 Opening of the wellness oasis over an area of 2,000 m2.
1995 Subsequent to the demolition of the old Grand Hotel Quellenhof, construction of a completely new building is started.
1996 On 31 October, a ceremony is held to mark the reopening of the new Grand Hotel Quellenhof after just 22 months of construction time. The inaugural Bad Ragaz PGA Seniors Open is held on the Bad Ragaz golf course.
2000 The existing wellness area is enlarged by 500 m2 to 2,500 m2. New 'luxury treatment rooms' provide the requisite space and tranquillity for innovative treatment methods.

An application for the operation of a casino is submitted.
The Valens Clinic is extended and gains a new therapy pool.

The luxury treatment area in the "to B. Health Club" is expanded yet again.

Des Moines honors 5 volunteers, 1 organization with Spirit Awards
Community service and all around good feelings were the order of the evening as the Des Moines City Council kicked off their first meeting of the new year with the "Spirit of Des Moines Awards."
The awards acknowledge citizens of Des Moines who have lived and worked in the community.
Over 70 people crammed into chambers to watch the three lifetime awards, two annual awards and one organizational award get presented.
"In my book, there's nothing more important than a public 'thank you,' for the countless hours that people have put in to make our city better for everyone" said Mayor Dave Kaplan.
"A lot of people give themselves to our community, and it's important that we recognize those efforts," said Kaplan.
There were three lifetime honorees for the 2012 Spirit Awards, Mary Beth Benson, Norma Somers and Jack Kniskern. The two Annual 2012 Awards went to Gene Achziger and Char Schulz. The organizational award was given to the Des Moines Farmers Market.
The first lifetime award went to Mary Beth Benson, owner of Benson's Fashion Apparel and mother of five.
The fashion boutique opened in 1964 and was a staple in Des Moines for 42 years, until Benson's retirement in 2006. Benson over the decades put on many fashion shows in conjunction with the Waterland Festival.
Benson has been a sponsor and donor of many activities in the community over the years, said Mayor Kaplan.
"The great pleasure is mine, so many of you welcomed me when I first opened the doors of Benson Apparel. I've just loved my life here in Des Moines," said Benson
"I was a customer of Mary's for 42 years, they (the clothes) hold up beautifully and I still wear them today," said Councilmember Carmen Scott.
The second lifetime award went to Norma Somers.
Norma and Johnny Somers were the owners of Johnny's Super Market, which opened on the corner of South 223rd Street and Marine View Drive in 1945 (where Allstar Sports Bar is currently located). As the market grew, it changed location to where Red Robin now sits.
The success of this market helped fuel the growth in the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce, which Somers was also a member of.
Somers has been very active in the community in several ways. She was a den mother and Campfire leader for about 12 years and sponsored a Miss Des Moines candidate every year,
"She and her family continue to be a positive presence in Des Moines, including their support of the Legacy Foundation Bayside Brunch," said Mayor Kaplan.
Jack Kniskern was the recipient of the third 2012 lifetime award.
Kniskern, a graduate of the School of Architecture of the University of Washington, first discovered Des Moines on his way to Saltwater Park to supervise construction of an outhouse.
Two years later, he moved his family to Des Moines where he set up a one-man architectural office from which he designed many buildings that are still standing today.
Among his works is the City Hall where the award was presented.
The list of contributions Kniskern has made to the City of Des Moines is almost endless. He's been a Rotarian for 54 years, chairman of the third Waterland Parade, served on the Des Moines Planning Commission, The County Board of Adjustment and in 1972 he was elected to the Des Moines City Council where he served for two years.
Kniskern was on the Board of Trustees for Highline Community College from 1987-1996 and was the founder of the original Des Moines Art Commission.
Now that Kniskern is retired, he spends his time fostering and promoting the understanding of other cultures and sister city relationships. He currently serves on the Kent, Wash – Yangzhou, China sister city committee.
"I'm a man of few words sometimes," said Kniskern. "I think Des Moines could be a leader at establishing relationships within our communities."
Two Annual Awards for 2012 were also awarded.
The first Annual Award went to Gene Achziger.
Achziger, a long time resident of Des Moines, has been involved in several different boards and commissions.
In the past year, Achziger has served as Legacy Foundation Board vice president, Destination Des Moines member and Pool Metropolitan Park District Board commissioner.
The City Council approved Achziger's appointment to the Des Moines Arts Commission, but he's since had to step down because of the time commitments of being president of the pool board.
Recently, Achziger began teaching Journalism at Highline Community College.
"If ever there was someone who does so much for our community, in plain sight and with little recognition, it's Gene Achziger," said Kaplan.
"I'm very humbled by this honor, thank you very much," said Achziger.
The second Annual Award was given to Char Schulz.
Schulz has served on the board of the Legacy Foundation. She has been an active member of the Rotary Club and Farmers Market. She served on the Marina and Beach Park Business Plan Advisory Committee, sponsored the 4th of July picnic and worked on many other activities in the community.
Schulz runs her own State Farm Insurance agency, has been a long-standing member of the business community as well as having recently become a Master Gardener.
Schulz tearfully accepted her award.
"I'm very touched by this, I love this city, it's nice to have a bunch of friends," said Schulz.
"Char contributes so much of her time, energy and money to the community, in so many ways, that it's truly humbling," said Kaplan.
Organizations don't always win awards, but for the last seven years the Des Moines Farmers Market has been a social magnet for our community and an important weekly part of our summers and falls, said Mayor Kaplan. "For those reasons, and more, the Committee is honored to recognize and present a Spirit of Des Moines Award."
Wayne Corey and Rikki Marohl accepted the award on behalf the Farmers Market.
"The Des Moines Farmers Market brings a light and warmth to our city that's nearly impossible to measure," added Kaplan.

A kidney.
Huawei founder and Chairman ren Zhengfei is a former PLA officer.
ren Zhiqiang, a billionaire property baron, said that he had "long heard" that changes were being planned.

"It reminds me of a kid I knew quite well when I was in grade school," ren said.
ren Gravenard was no different in appearance than a million like him.
Although ren listened and said that he could do none of the things she urged, the woman knew that he would do all of them.
The door to the corridor opened and ren Gravenard stepped in.
Not until my father recovers his name and honor may we be happily married, ren.
ren looked at the fine black pointer on the gravity potentiometer.
Not waiting to say more, he went carefully up-stairs, and with Chovet's help ren was soon in his bed.

electric fuel pump
i installed an electric fuel pump on my 68 el camino. the thing is loud as heck! does anyone know how to make these things quiet?
i mounted the fuel pump to the frame next to the gas tank.
try putting a piece of rubber between the frame and pump
Although electric fuel pumps are'nt that pretty to look at, they are built to pull fuel to the carb. not push fuel to the carb. The closer to the engine the better the fuel pump will preform. As for the noise, rubber mount it!
Yep shut it off. All kidding a side,if you used the electric with the manual pump (as most do) we put a switch on it cause you really dont need a electric pump on a street car with a carb(if thats what your runnin) Turn it on when its time to race,than who cares about noise. If your running and electronic fuel injection than maybe look at the tank mounted pumps. The answer is there is no way to quiet it down.(yep rubber mounts and stuff help but it will still be loud) I was allways told the elec pumps push better than pull(why do most drag cars have them near the tank??And new cars come to think of it. Just wondering) ;)
Electric fuel pumps are meant to push the fuel to the carb. You don`t want it under the hood, too much heat. Mount it closest to the tank. You right Phat!

(2/1/2008) NEW HAVEN- At an event at the East Shore Senior Center today, Mayor John DeStefano, Jr., announced that the City would be offering a freeze on property taxes to eligible seniors for a second year. Eligibility for this program requires that the homeowner be 70 years of age or older, a resident of New Haven for at least 10 years and have an income of under $50,000.
The City estimates 2,715 households meet these requirements to benefit from this tax relief. In its first year, 549 seniors took advantage of this program saving a total of $199,284. The average tax break was $400 per home. Seniors who participated in the program last year, must remember to apply every year. The tax freeze is not automatically renewed.
The Board of Aldermen approved this ordinance last spring and received substantial community support for their decision. �You don�t know what this means to seniors who don�t make much and can barely afford all of their bills,� said East Shore resident Phyllis Mazziotti. �I am thankful to the Mayor for making this happen. I think he�s really doing the right thing!�
A year ago, Mazziotti was expecting to pay $6,694. The tax freeze decreased her bill to $5,962 in residential property taxes. The freeze will saved her $1,035.
�We are proud to continue this program for our seniors,� said DeStefano. �After a lifetime of working hard they deserve to be protected from high property taxes. Real tax relief is important for all residents; this is an issue we will work to tackle this year.�
The tax freeze has a $2,000 cap placed on the yearly benefit that a senior may receive. Any amount over the $2,000 can either be paid by the senior or put into deferral. The tax free benefit ends when the property is sold or transferred. Seniors who earn between $50,000 and $75,000 qualify for a deferral program that allows taxes to be deferred until the property is sold or transferred out of their name. Deferred taxes are charged a prime interest rate but create an option for individuals who do not meet the income requirements of the tax freeze. Homeowners who are 62 years of age and older qualify for the freeze if their spouse met all requirements at their time of death.
�This program has a major impact on senior homeowners in New Haven,� said Darcey Cobbs, Director of Elderly Services for the City. �Last year was a great success. By getting the word out, working with volunteers to help seniors fill out applications and making applications very accessible, we hope to increase the number of eligible residents participating this year. Our department is excited to be a part of this program and will be available to assist seniors in filling out applications.�
Applications for the program can be picked up at the City�s six senior centers or by contacting the Department of Elderly Services at 946-2272.

'Urgent need for consistency in policies for infra growth'
Jul 09 2014 , New Delhi
"Removing procedural bottlenecks, improving governance, and above all maintaining consistency in government infrastructure policies are some issues that need to be urgently addressed" for sustainable infrastructure development, the pre-budget Economic Survey tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said.
The key document expressed concerns that as many as 110 out of 239 central sector infrastructure projects, each costing Rs 1,000 crore or above, have reported delays, which range up to 26 months in case of steel, coal, power and petroleum projects.
"The total original cost of implementation of these 239 projects was about Rs 7,39,882 crore and their anticipated completion cost is likely to be Rs 8,97,684 crore, implying an overall cost overrun of Rs 1,57,802 crore (21.3 per cent of the original cost," it said.
It said: "Infrastructure will continue to be a bottleneck for growth and an obstacle to poverty reduction" unless sectors particularly transport, energy and communication, put under enormous burden due to recent years rapid economic growth, are significantly improved.
Also, it stressed the need for tackling on war-footing issues like problems in land acquisition, delays in regulatory approvals and environment clearances.
Pinning hopes on revival of investment it said, "Need has been felt to kickstart stalled infrastructure projects by stepping up infrastructure investment and increased private participation will usher in desired funds".
Government is promoting public-private-partnership for bringing private sector efficiencies in creation of economic and social infrastructure assets and for delivery of quality public services.
By end of March 2014, there were 1,300 projects in the sector with the total project cost of Rs 6,94,040 crore, it said adding to promote PPP, government is providing viability gap funding, support for project development, capacity building programmes and other tool kits, the survey said.
The survey mentioned that while growth in power and fertilisers segments was higher, sectors like coal, steel, cement and refinery witnessed lower growth.
"In the road sector, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) posted negative growth of 33 per cent during 2013-14 as compared to the 26.5 per cent growth during 2012-13," says the Survey.
As the survey highlights lack of consistency in government policies, the Transport Ministry last week had also blamed inconsistency in policies as well as warring ministries for brining India's road sector to its knees.

Please visit the Biosimilars Council, a division of GPhA, for the most current information and policy positions on biosimilar products.
GPhA applauds Congress for establishing an abbreviated approval pathway for biosimilars and interchangeable biologics as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which became law March 23, 2010. GPhA and its member companies are working hard with the FDA to assure that the new biosimilar pathway is implemented in a manner that encourages development of safe and less-costly biosimilars.
Biologic medicines are often the only lifesaving treatments for the most severe diseases, but their high price tag can keep them out of reach for many patients. The cost of biologics is increasing at a faster annual pace than any other component in health care.
As proven with chemical prescription drugs, biosimilar competition is expected to be the most important opportunity to hold down the cost of biologic medicines. GPhA is working with the FDA to ensure the approval process is workable and provides for timely availability of FDA-approved, safe, effective and less-costly biosimilar medicines.
- Unlike traditional, chemical-based prescription drugs, biologic medicines are derived from living cells. Biologics typically are administered via an injection, and are used to treat cancers, immunological diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis and other debilitating chronic illnesses.
- The Affordable Care Act authorized the FDA to develop regulations for the approval of less-costly biosimilar medicines. While biosimilar products are available in other highly regulated markets, like the EU, Canada, Australia and Japan, the FDA is now charged with, and in the process of, developing the regulations and guidances for biosimilars.
- FDA has stressed the importance of developing an approval process for biosimilars, with Commissioner Hamburg saying in February 2012 that "among our highest priorities at FDA is to implement [biosimilar] regulations as quickly and effectively as possible." Indeed, capturing the opportunity to make lifesaving biologic medicines available to millions of patients at lower cost is a priority objective for our industry.
- The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that the resulting increase in competition from biosimilars will yield substantially lower prices for these medicines.
- By every account, competition from biosimilars in the biologic sector would save patients, insurers and the government billions of dollars each year in treatment costs. Estimates from various economic impact studies pin the projected savings from $42 billion on the low end to as high as $108 billion over the first 10 years of biosimilar market formation. Even stakeholders on the originator side — namely BIO and PhRMA — recognize that biosimilar competition will significantly reduce health care costs.
GPhA Efforts
Through various presentations and testimony at the FDA, GPhA has pushed for the scientific feasibility of a regulatory scheme that ensures patient safety and is not a barrier to competition. It is our position that robust competition is needed to lower costs, increase patient access and spur future innovation.
Among the key issues we are working with the FDA on are:
Biosimilarity: The biosimilar law, under the ACA, requires the FDA to use the same standard of "highly similar" for biosimilars as it does when approving post-approval changes to the reference product.
Naming: The biosimilar law does not require different names for products approved via the abbreviated biosimilar pathway; the regulations must honor this intent of Congress. Otherwise, a finding of interchangeability or biosimilarity will count for very little among healthcare providers. Most importantly, use of different non-proprietary names for biosimilars can compromise patient safety. GPhA supports biosimilar sponsors selecting unique trade names for their products.
Interchangeability: Interchangeability or substitution is the engine that drives generic competition. It is the reason why generic drugs have generated savings of $1.06 trillion over the past decade. The way that FDA deals with interchangeability will be directly responsible for the market dynamics generated by the biosimilar pathway. FDA guidance on the requirements to obtain an interchangeability designation is needed for full realization of the benefits of biosimilars.

"Integral Yoga in Dialogue with the World" June 20–24, 2007
In the spirit of modeling this collaborative dialogue with the world, California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) is hosting and co-organizing the event.
Integral Yoga in Dialogue with the World What is the 21st-century relationship between Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary vision and the evolving fields of human knowledge and experience? With the enormous research opening up in the fields of consciousness and spirituality, with a quantum leap in emergent knowledge happening simultaneously across disciplines—from the hard and soft sciences of physics, biology, and psychology to the applied researches in ecology, integral healing, whole systems behavior, and collective intelligence—what does the Integral Yoga Community have to share with and learn from its evolutionary allies in the world, particularly in view of the evolutionary crises that presently threaten the very sustainability of our terrestrial existence?
This conference will explore and address these questions primarily through presentations and panels in a dialogue-based format designed to:
identify, heal, and clear unconscious divisions and blockages;
foster deep listening, mutual learning, and the cross-pollination of knowledge streams;
expand boundaries, build bridges of trust and collaboration;
develop a more integrated, effective, and applied sense of the term "integral."
The "evolutionary allies" who will participate as panelists and presenters include Michael Murphy (author, founder of Esalen Institute), Barbara Marx Hubbard (visionary, president of Foundation for Conscious Evolution), Brian Swimme (CIIS professor, cosmologist, author), Elisabet Sahtouris (evolutionary biologist, author), Robert McDermott (CIIS Professor, philosophy and comparative religions), and Craig Hamilton (former managing editor, What is Enlightenment? magazine).
Joining us in this dialogue is Sraddhalu Ranade from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry and Ameeta Mehra from the Gnostic Centre in New Delhi.

Workshop Descriptions and Bio-data
"Our Golden Bridge ~ Connecting through the Arts of Body and Heart"Join Melissa Michaels for this Dance and Dialogue, a dynamic exploration of Self, our Diverse Community and the Spirit Moving Us All.Melissa Michaels, Ed.D. is a social artist, dancing and dedicated to our collective renewal through the liberation of the creative spirit. She is the founder and director of Surfing The Creative® International Youth Rites of Passage Programs, Golden Bridge, a not-for-profit organization linking youth leaders across the globe, and Wild Life Productions. Through movement-based programming and ongoing mentoring, Melissa is committed to improving and empowering the lives of young people and the adults who serve them.
Mapping the journey from trauma to dynamic well - being, her work utilizes somatic and social arts to establish body and heart as resources for authentic expression. Rooted in rhythm and fueled by breath, this work inspires the sacred union between Spirit, flesh, psyche, and deed.
Melissa's work is a pathway from the longing of the Spirit to the ecstasy of the ordinary. (Further info @ http://www.bdanced.com & http://www.goldenbridge.org)
"Integral Dynamics"What is the relevance of Don Beck's Spiral Dynamics and Ken Wilber's Integral Philosophy for the Aurobindonian community? The basis of these current philosophies will be reviewed through a power point presentation. What is the relavance of Integral Yoga for Beck and Wilbur? Proposals and ideas will given to the audience for discussion.
Wolfgang Schmidt-Reinecke, MA, has served as Executive Director of Auroville International and was the former Chairman of AVI Germany for 15 years. A former Board member of the Ken Wilber Association - Germany, he has been involved with Integral Yoga since 1972. He is also a journalist, author, consultant, magazine editor and documentary film-maker.
"Exploring the Future of Integral Education"1.) What is the essence of "integral education" as defined by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother? I will ask participants to share their sense of the core elements and bring the results of an informal survey to share. 2.) What is actually happening in the US that is being called "integral" or "integrative" education? I will share what I know from higher education and ask participants to add from their store of experience and knowledge. 3.) To what extent should we be presenting, advocating for, and/or making known Sri Aurobindo and Mother's vision and work? Little mention is made of their names even when the inspiration comes from their work. Are there reasons to insist on going to the original source? If so, how should this be done? If not, how can the original work more fully inform and inspire moves toward truly integral forms of education in the US (or elsewhere)? Margo W. MacLeod has spent the last 20 years and more in the academic world primarily as faculty and administrator at Goddard College, distinguished for its progressive, holistic approach to education. She has also been honored to serve on the board of the Foundation for World Education.
"Integral Healing: The Work of Psychology and Spirituality"The movement from an ego-centered to a soul-centered psychology demands an integral vision of the human being as well as the means to unite the disparate dimensions of this being. Drawing from his therapeutic work in Alchemy of the Soul, Arya will show how Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary paradigm of the human psyche coupled with the transpersonal psychotherapies of Mindell, Grof and Raheem forge a psychotherapeutic approach capable of integrating body, life-force, mind, soul and spirit.
Arya Maloney, LMHC, M.A. Clinical Psychology, has over thirty years experience as a psychotherapist and practitioner of the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. His psychological training includes family therapy, gestalt, process-oriented psychology, holotropic breathwork and process acupressure. He is the author of Alchemy of the Soul: Integral Healing: The Work of Psychology and Spirituality. Blue Dolphin Publishing, March 2007.
"Living on the Edge of Evolution: Spirituality and Mysticism in an Evolving Universe" Is there a relationship between our personal spiritual path and humanity's collective evolution? Is it possible that, in engaging in authentic spiritual practice, we are not merely transforming ourselves but participating in a cosmic, evolutionary process?
This workshop will guide participants on an experiential journey into the meaning, significance, and practice of spiritual transformation in light of our new, scientific understanding of evolution. Bringing together leading-edge transformational insights drawn from integral theory, evolutionary spirituality, and depth psychology, this exploration in consciousness will show you how to leap beyond the patterns of your conditioned personality and discover the dynamic aliveness and boundless creativity of your own Evolving Self. Together, we will discover how our own spiritual life can be illumined and inspired by the direct recognition of the vast, evolutionary significance of every authentic step we take toward Divinity. Through conversation and individual and group exercises, we will explore:
How to awaken the "evolutionary impulse" within each of us.
The exponential transformative power of the field of collective consciousness.
Meditation & spiritual practice in an evolutionary context.
Why awakening our higher "spiritual conscience" is the key to lasting transformation.
What it means to live every moment of one's life as an agent of evolution.
Craig Hamilton is a speaker, writer, workshop leader and transformative coach with a passion for the evolution of consciousness. He is best known for his acclaimed work as Senior Editor of the award-winning What Is Enlightenment? magazine, a post he held from 1997 to 2005. His feature articles and interviews have helped to chart the landscape of an emerging evolutionary spirituality and have contributed to the forging of a new, scientifically informed spiritual worldview bridging the great wisdom traditions of the East and the West.
Craig is also a veteran radio personality whose conversations with leading luminaries are regularly heard by New Dimensions Radio's seven million listeners, and form the basis of the forthcoming documentary film: Toward a Science of Consciousness. He is a founding member of Ken Wilber's Integral Institute, and a participant in the Synthesis Dialogues, a 35-person interdisciplinary think tank presided over by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. A 20-year spiritual practitioner, Craig is an insightful teacher whose vast mystical experience and understanding illuminates all of his work. He is currently at work on his first book, exploring the emerging worldview of evolutionary spirituality. (www.craighamilton.us)
"The Heart, Psychic Being, and Light in the Body"This lively workshop will include both audience participation and a colorful power point presentation. You will learn some of the latest findings from Heartmath Institute, Candace Pert, and Mae Wan Ho. Plus peak into your own cellular consciousness.
Soleil Lithman, MA, is founder of The Hladina Method, an evolutionary healing process for discovering the psychic being and integrating cellular consciousness. She gave a very successful 3 week training program in Auroville in March 2007. Her 19 AV interns continue to practice there. Soleil has been part of the Integral Yoga since 1971.
"Service and the Psychic: Reaching Beyond our Borders"In the Integral Yoga, the Psychic Being and the Psychic Transformation are the foundation upon which all else is built. In this interactive workshop, we will explore how the Psychic can be the foundation of our work in the world as well.
Will Moss first learned of Sri Aurobindo and Mother in 1970 in Boston. It was 'love at first sight', like coming home. He participated in the first AUM gatherings in New Hampshire. He joined the board of the SAA in 1990, and participated in the formation of both Auroconf and the Miraura web site, as well as the first Integral Psychology conference at Matagiri. He moved with his family to the coast of Maine in 2001, where he has become increasingly involved in the local Unitarian-Universalist church.
"Spirituality & Money: Supporting the Manifestation of the Future"Jerry Schwartz will initially explore the mystical and occult context of money energy. He will present conceptual frameworks and experiential practices that allow one to work with greater clarity to understand money as a spiritual force.
He will talk about how to understand the influences that affect the flow of money, including the impact of social, political, and economic forces and will conclude with the issue of directing the flow of money in serving the Divine Consciousness. He will speak of different modes and structures that can give effective form to our aspirations to use money to assist the earth's spiritual transformation.
Jerry Schwartz, CFP®, is a 17 year Board Member and Treasurer of the Foundation for World Education. He is a Principal of Arista Investment Advisors, Ltd., a life purpose financial planning and investment management company. He began his work in this field in 1977, and has volunteered his time extensively for many years to advise non-profit organizations. He also lectures and teaches courses on money management and in using money wisely, as a transformative and redemptive spiritual power.
"The Practice of Integral Yoga" The work of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is more than a philosophy or evolutionary vision for a new spirituality. Yet their work does not codify or spell out any uniform rituals, disciplines or ceremonies that one must religiously follow. This workshop will focus on the question: "How does one actually practice the Integral Yoga?"Sraddhalu Ranade is a scientist, educationist and scholar. He has been an inmate of Sri Aurobindo Ashram since he was six months old, where he grew up in the care of late Sri M. P. Pandit. He is presently involved in various activities including video productions, teacher-training programs, and software development.He has been involved in various research projects including artificial intelligence based on neural networks, multimedia search and retrieval, and educational tools. Apart from his responsibilities in editing the Service Letter, publication of books, and related activities, he also devotes time to teaching at Sri Aurobindo International Center of Education. A multi-faceted personality, he delivers talks and conducts workshops on numerous themes including Integral Education, Management, Self-Development, Indian culture, Science and Spirituality, Yoga. Over the years he has addressed many thousands of students in numerous schools, colleges and universities all over India on these themes, conducting intensive teacher-training workshops in Integral and value-based education. He has also addressed special interest groups including management associations, educationists, lawyers, doctors and scientists worldwide.
"Spheres of Influence: Visual Meditations of Light"Sri Aurobindo and the Mother embody rich sources of inspiration and experience. We open to their illumination and guidance to deepen our Divine connection. Through digital media, aspects of their shared vision will be rendered into meditations of light. From an Integral perspective, concepts, symbols, forms and color will be placed before our perception. The intention of these visual meditations is to center our consciousness, concentration, and contemplation. "…as one offers a flower, a prayer, an act to the Divine, one can offer too a created form of beauty, a song, a poem, an image, a strain of music, and gain through it a contact, a response or an experience." (Letters on Yoga)
Margaret Astrid Phanes, M.A., MFT, is a visionary, artist and trainer. Ms. Phanes has pioneered digital art as visual meditation. As a trainer, she has worked in digital art and consciousness at UCSC University, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and the College of the Botanical Healing Arts. Currently, she teaches digital media arts and concentration meditation training at the College on Maui. She is an online facilitator for the Sri Aurobindo Darshan: The University of Tomorrow, India. Her artwork has appeared in numerous publications, art and web exhibitions. For more information on digital art as visual meditation, visit: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~phanes
"Psychospiritual Integration & Transformation: Grounding the Evolution of Consciousness into Earthly Life"The basis of our workshop is the aspiration to foster evolution of consciousness in daily life. We will integrate witness consciousness and psychic center leadership to harmonize personality elements via surrender in accepting the responsibility of each person's mission for enabling and expressing the evolution of consciousness in their lives.Kathleen Wall, Ph.D, has been a practicing psychologist for 29 years and a student of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother for the past 20 years. She is an Associate Professor on the faculty of The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP) in Palo Alto, California.

- - Union vs Flux (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/bindings/53046-union-vs-flux.html)
Union vs Flux
So I've narrowed my choices down to the Union Contact Pro and the Flux TT30. I love riding park, but I also do a lot of freeriding and like to bomb powder runs and also encounter icy conditions over here on the east coast. Which would be the best option for me? Is the lower highback on the Flux an issue? Is it true that the union binding ratchets slip? Thanks!
4 Attachment(s)
Flux TT30 (which I just sold) is one of my favorite bindings I've owned for true all mountain use. More than Cartels, and way more than Forces. I moved away from Flux this year b/c of their lack of canted footbeds, but Union doesn't do that either, so that's not really an issue for you.
I would stay away from the Contact Pro's if you plan on doing any aggressive freeriding. Their baseplate design isn't meant to be responsive. I'd stay away from Flux period. The baseplate feels clunky and the ankle strap design is sub par. If you go Union try the Atlas or the Force. If you're looking at other brands look at the Cartel, Raiden Phantom, Rome 390 Boss, Ride Rodeo. Can't go wrong with any of those.
If you like riding park, but also like freeriding the contact pro is perfect. Super lightweight, forgiving enough for park, soft enough for a surfy feel in p0w but stiff enough to handle free riding.
The Union binding ratchets don't slip at all, in fact, some people have an issue with them being harder to take off than other bindings. Which, isn't a big deal at all, and is pretty comforting if you ask me.
Atlas is my favorite binding ever though, give that a look as well.
Nah, the atlas isn't stiff at all, to me. It's in between the contact pro and forces as far as response, which makes it really versatile. I think when I first got them, I described them as softer, but responsive when you need them to be.
And you're right, googs, it's 90% rider 10% gear.
I wanted a binding this year that was good for all round riding (park, pow, groomers....) I went with the Flux DS30 and love them!! response for carving is great and still good flex for freestylin. Just my 2 cents.
My choice was between the DS30 and Contact Pro and everytime i tried the toe ratchets in the store the contact pro's were sticky, DS30's like butter that was my decision maker.
For a lighter mor responsive Flux alternative is the DMCC light. I am not a huge charger so opted not to pay the extra for them.
I have a serious man crush on Flux bindings. The TT30s are my favorite all-around bindings.
