Voltage Stabilizer DIY
Please note that it is not my recommendation that you do this. I am simply showing how I assembled, soldered and installed my own. So if you try this project, it is your decision and do so of your own accord and assume full responsibility for your own actions. If you do complete this successfully you will gain, at a minimum, the knowledge of basic soldering and light fabrication skills. Please note, there is no guarantee on performance gains made here. I built and installed mine to help eliminate alternator whine and dash light dimming only. I was not looking at performance gains, I truly do not know if any were realized or not, as I have too many performance mods to really care. If I average 25 mpg (best average done by actual gas usage and calculator) then I am happy. Normally my average is around 23 mpg.
A tad bit of background info:
A voltage stabilizer is nothing more than a bank of capacitors used to stiffen a circuit. In this instance, the circuit is the automobiles electrical system. Stiffening a circuit is another way of saying reducing response time and controlling voltage/ amperage demands/ transitions, while also trimming signal (RF) noise. Capacitor banks are guaranteed to work. This is why they are used in home amplifiers, car amplifiers, car radios, linear power supplies, home PC power supplies, etc Okay now to the actual stuff you want to read.
These are the tools I used, so understand, this can vary by availability and preference.
Soldering Iron I use an adjustable iron, makes soldering different gauge wires easier
Small pair of dykes
Wire strippers - Able to strip down to 26 gauge wire
Alligator Clip stand Looks like a paper weight w/ arms & gator clips attached
Vise Optional (I used a suction mounted vise w/ soft jaws to hold the PCBs)
Sponge Dampened to clean solder from iron tip
Sandpaper To clean & shape iron tip
Solder Sucker Optional but recommended for oops
Cordless drill
Screw drivers Flat & Philips (for assembly purposes)
Crescent wrenches 2 small ones (to tighten lock rings)
Print A layout of all the items on the circuit board & their location (this is a must, it is worth the time & will make your life easier)
Razor Knife
Multi-meter w/ a continuity function
I tried to buy all my items from national chain stores so they woudl be available to most. I bought all my items from Autozone (A), Radio Shack (RS) or Home Depot(HD). The parts and numbers are as follows:
1. Blank Board RS#: 276-1395

11. Green LED w/ Integrated Resistor RS#: 276-271 (They also have these in Red & Amber)
12. Brass Nut, Bolts HD# - Sorry, lost the wrappers. They are (2) ¼x1 and (1) 10x32 x 1 fillister head machine screws
13. Water-tight Washers HD#: Also lost this wrapper. They are in the specialty bins ¼ & #10s
14. 12v 30a Relay A#: Dorman 84601
A. Start by un-wrapping everything and laying out the caps in order from highest value to lowest.
B. Now disassemble the project box (#7). You will not need the metal plate included in the package it is extra.
C. Measure the interior dimensions so you can cut your PCB (#1) to size. Measure carefully and it is better to make it a tad too big and trim it down then to make it too small and have it not fit right.
D. Cut you lower PCB to size first and leave at least a 1/8 gap around the sides. Use a razor knife and a steel rule to make your scores and then put the cut over a sharp edge and snap off the excess. Use sand-paper to smooth the edges down. You will notice the front half of the board will be un-supported, this is what the standoffs are for.
E. Now drill the rear mounting holes to match the ones that are already in the project box (#7). Drill very carefully as the board will chip & break easily. Then mount the board and measure for standoff height.
F. Trim the standoffs (#10) to match the height of the ones already formed into the box.
G. Mount the standoffs (#10) in the box so they will support the board and be out at the very edge to allow for max room on the board. Now mark the PCB and drill holes to match the standoffs (#10) locations.
H. Mount the lower board. Now measure & cut the vertical board. You will see vertical slots on the inside of the project box (#7). The board should fit snugly into these slots, but not so snug that it deforms the board.
I. Now remove both boards and set the vertical board aside for now.
J. Start laying out your Caps (#3) on the lower board. Start w/ the largest caps first and work your way down in size. Remember you have to mount one PC Board Terminal (#6) on this board. Mount these components so there is air space around each one. Also remember that all the caps are connected in parallel (pos. to pos. & neg. to neg.). Each component needs to be connected to the one in front of in this manner. So once they are all soldered you can run two wires from the last cap to the solder leads on the PC Board terminal. **NOTE** I laid my caps out so the leads of the last cap lined up with the leads for PC Board Terminal. This is very helpful later on.
K. Test fit the board into the box, (you will have to bend the leads over to do this). Now use a Sharpie to mark the exact mounting holes as you pull each component off the board. Once all locations are marked remount everything and bend the wires back over.
L. Now repeat step J, for the vertical board. You will notice that you have to mount these components higher on the board to clear the components on the lower board.
M. You will have to mount two (2) PC Board terminals (#6) on the vertical board. Remember one needs to face the lower board and one need to face the opposite way. These allow the two boards to be connected together and then tied into the relay.
N. Once everything has been test fit and the locations marked you are finally ready to solder.
O. Start with the lower board. Remove each component and lay it down in the exact layout that it is on the board.
P. Start at one corner of the board and tack each component into the copper rings. Work like a typewriter while doing this (go all the way across and then down a row). This keeps you from creating too small of an area to solder in. Once all of the components are soldered on to the top of the board it is time to make all the solders on the back.
Q. To make the lead connections easier mark all the positive leads on the back of the board w/ a small piece of tape or a red sharpie (Sharpie is better, not as hard as the tape).
R. Now start soldering positive lead to positive lead, then repeat in the same order w/ the negative leads. I bent my leads over to the nest cap, trimmed it to a ¼ overlap and then soldered it.
S. At the last cap or the one closest to the PC board terminal solder a lead or a jumper to the positive lead to one of the posts and the same with the negative. Use a multi-meter to do a continuity check of the completed circuit. Do this front the PC board terminal. Should show continuity (beep, light, etc ).
T. Now you basically repeat all of this for the vertical board. The only difference is each end of the cap string will be attached to the 2 different PC board terminals. One PC board terminal connection at each end. Jumper wires will be used to connect the vertical board to the lower board later.
U. Once this is done test fit the boards to make sure they do not interfere with each other. Also cut two lengths of the hook-up wire to connect the two boards together via the PC board terminals. You can leave these connected
V. Now remove the boards and now it is time to install the brass bolts, green LED, fuse holder and relay. They will be installed in this order also.
W. Drill two holes for the ¼ bolts/ screws. These holes need to be very close to the actual bolt size.
X. Drill one hole for the 10-32 bolt/ screw. 10-32 = 0.201; this is a #7 drill bit. You can use a 3/16 bit and thread the screw thru it, though.
Y. Measure and drill a hole on the adjacent side for the LED.
Z. Do the same for the Fuse holder. **NOTE** I know this is a large fuse holder, but I got this one because it will light up if the fuse is blown, makes diagnosis a real cinch.
This pictur shows the locations:
AA. Now do not tighten down the LED or fuse lock nuts yet, this will aid in hooking up wires.
BB. Decide which of the ¼ bolts is going to be the positive & mark it. Then cut three (3) pieces of, 8-12 gauge wire and one piece of 16-22 gauge wire; then install ring terminals on one end of each one. Mount the brass bolts, as follows, positive gets one 8-12 gauge, 10-32 bolt gets one 8-12 gauge, and the negative get the remaining two wires, (do not install the water proof washers yet). Now estimate the length of wire you are going to need for this and trim accordingly. Though check the next steps first, b/c I will explain what wire goes where.
CC. There are four (4) numbers on the back of the relay where the connecting posts are. These numbers correspond to what each leg does. Here are the #s and their functions: 30 = Positive, 85 = Ground, 86 = Positive from switch, 87 = Positive to circuit to be controlled.
DD. So connect the wire from your positive bolt to one side of the fuse. Now connect a wire from the other side of the fuse to #30 on the relay. Next, you connect the 8-12 gauge wire from the Negative bolt (the one ¼ bolt you did not mark) to #85. Then you connect the wire from the 10-32 bolt to #86. Now #87 will be connected to the positive PC board terminal on the vertical board along w/ the positive from the green LED, (Cut and trim these wires now but do not install them yet). The 16-22 gauge wire from the negative bolt and the negative from the green LED will be connected to the negative PC board terminal on the vertical board, (Cut and trim these wires now but do not install them yet).
EE. Now with all the wires sized and ready you can install the water proof washers on the three (3) bolts. Remember each bolt gets two (2). One on the inside and one on the outside. It is best to install these with nothing else installed b/c the washers can be a pain to get on. Also remember you will need two (2) nuts for each bolt. The first locks the bolt down and the second will lock down the wires coming from the battery and your switch.
FF. You can now install the LED and Fuse holder and tighten down their lock nuts. Next hook up all your power and ground wires to the fuse and the relay.
GG. Now install your boards and connect you positive lead from your relay & LED to the vertical board.
HH. Next install your small ground wire from the bolt and the negative wire from the LED to the vertical board.
II. Now you can test your stabilizer with a pair of 9-volt batteries.
JJ. Hook the first battery to your main positive & negative bolts.
KK. Then hook the second batteries negative to the main negative bolt.
LL. Hook a wire to the second batterys positive post and then touch it to the 10-32 bolt. You should hear the relay click and the green LED should light up. If this does not happen see the next step.
MM. Stop, drink a beer and calm down, while cursing under your breath, while blaming me.
NN. Now, go back and verify all of you connections. Then repeat steps II LL.
OO. Yeah, it is all over Now put the cover on and figure how & where to mount it. (I used automotive trim adhesive tape, lasts about a year or two.)
PP. Now you can install it, at your own risk of course. Big bolts are positive & negative to the battery. The little bolt is connected to the positive lead of anything powered on by the ignition, thus making the stabilizer only work while the key is on.
Post Script:
I hope I covered everything. If I have missed something please let me know. Also if something is unclear, please let me know and I will try and clarify the step and/or explain it to you.
**NOTE** The pretty window in mine was added as an after thought along with 2 LEDs to illuminate the Caps. Just a bit of bling, LOL. I did this w/ some really thin Plexiglas I had at the house, superglue (then permatex gasket goo, after super glue failed) and a 1-3/4 holesaw.
Just a quick note, I know there is a pack of resistors in the pic, but you do not need them. The resistor in the green LED will act as a bleed to discharge the caps when the ignition is turned off.

U.S. book offers ways to cope with bad bosses
By Ellen Wulfhorst
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Friday is National Boss Day in the United States but for employees who cannot imagine celebrating such a day, a new book titled "Working for You Isn't Working for Me" might come in handy.
The book, subtitled "The Ultimate Guide to Managing Your Boss," is a manual that aims to help beleaguered workers survive bosses as difficult as the never-pleased "chronic critic" or the "underminer" who cannot be trusted.
In this down economy, one of the most common types is the "control freak" boss who wants to approve every decision, said Katherine Crowley, a psychotherapist who wrote the book with Kathi Elster, her partner in a New York consulting firm.
"That behavior, very micro-managing, is very common under stress," she told Reuters in an interview. "They're terrified of making a mistake so they don't want anything happening they don't know about."
Then there's the "tell-all" boss who needs a constant audience, the "checked-out" boss who could not care less about the job and, also common in hard times, the "rule changer" boss, who changes orders and expectations at whim.
"In stressful times, an indecisive manager becomes more indecisive. We're hearing a lot of that," said Crowley, who previously wrote "Working With You Is Killing Me" with Elster.
Readers are given ways to assess what sorts of employees they are, such as a "nurturer," an "observer" or even a "coaster" based on how they react and how they can deal with various types of bosses.

I have heard of people using Renova and other tretinoin products around the eyes with great success in treating fines lines/wrinkles.
I've also heard that tretinoin can cause the skin to thin. I already have very thin skin in the eye area. Would using tretinoin on my eye area be a bad idea? I do not want to cause the skin to thin out any more than it already is! Thank you!

My favorite band ever
Alyson's recommendation
Listening to the Fray makes me feel like I'm in college again... satisfyingly melodic, pop-y music with just a touch of ennui that makes me feel like there's homework I should be doing but just can't be bothered. And I just learned that their double-platinum (fancy dancy) "How to Save a Life" album is the #1 digital album of all time. I believe Coldplay held that title previously (The Fray is a bit Coldplay-esque, I suppose). But I had to recommend it because word-of-mouth is what ThisNext is all about... and not in that creepy brand marketer "I'll pay all your friends to tell all their friends about my product" kind of way. More what I mean is that if something's actually good enough for pals to tell pals about it again and again then it must be legitimately great.

I absolutely adore the Fray. Best new music in ages.
lindy567's recommendation
These guys are awesome. If you aren't listening to them, you should be! Plus the extra bonus of going to their concert is just being amazed for a few hours to finally hear good music being played. Isaac Slade on the piano is enough alone for me, but all the guys as a whole is just plain AMAZING! Totally Grammy material!

CARBONDALE - City council voted Monday to expand an ordinance that increases emergency service fees, but a council member said property owners won't pay extra if their insurance company won't cover the fee.
The ordinance, which takes effect Oct. 23, amends fees for emergency services provided by the Carbondale Fire Department.
Fees for stand-by or hazard-control service will be $150 for the first hour and $50 per additional hour.
Fire response fees will be $350 for the first hour and $75 for each additional hour.
The original ordinance did not address those specifics, according to City Clerk Michele Bannon.
The original ordinance had a $350 price tag for structure fire, $300 for a vehicle fire, $400 for a chemical spill, $250 for a vehicle crash and $500 for a crash requiring extraction of occupants. If costs exceeded those numbers, the city was responsible to pay.
The revised ordinance consolidates those categories and allows for additional expense.
The amended ordinance also made provisions for council to eliminate fees for residents without insurance coverage or whose insurance companies would not cover service.
Councilman Joseph Marzzacco explained that, legally, the ordinance needed to require payment from residents, but the council was understanding of hardship.
"We can't just put in the ordinance 'There will be no collection of payment,' " he said during the meeting. "Basically, no one is going to have to pay for it if the insurance company doesn't pay for it."
The increase in fees raised questions at a council meeting last month with residents who said the changes translated into a third charge for emergency services, after taxes and a fire fee.
Mayor Justin Taylor said at the August meeting that the intent of the ordinance was only to eliminate several fee loopholes.

"You can just see he's got really natural running skills," coach Mark Richt said. "He's got a great change of direction and he's catching the ball well.
"You can tell he really likes football. You can tell he likes practicing and learning,. Bryan McClendon is coaching him just like everybody else. You don't see Bryan having to follow him around on every single play just to get him lined up and then whisper in his ear what the play is. He's letting him practice. He's getting most of it right."
2. John Jenkins made it through the full practice today. Thursday, the junior college transfer left practice early with heat-related issues.
"I mean, yeah, but that could happen to anybody," said sophomore Kwame Geathers. "I remember my first day I was having some problems to. I can't blame him for that, but he's probably getting used to the tempo from the junior college level."
3. Branden Smith "stole the show today," according to coach Mark Richt. Smith had at least five interceptions that Richt could recall.
"Branden Smith kind of stole the show today," Richt said. "A couple of (his interceptions) just kind of came down to him, but mostly he went up and got or snatched away from somebody. It was a very, very impressive day for Branden Smith."
4. Cornelius Washington did not practice today because of a sore hamstring.
"We hope (it's) short term," Richt said
5. Because of Washington's absence, freshman Ray Drew saw time with the first team unit.
"He's getting a lot of reps, I know that," Richt said. "We're working a lot of two units and sometimes three units, but when you just watch a little bit of pass rush you see he's got some good skills."
6. No word yet on linebacker signee Kent Turene, but Richt used the word "doubtful" when asked if he had a gut feeling on if the Florida native will get into school this fall.
"I don't know that answer," Richt said. "Right now I'd put a doubtful on it--on him making it this season. The frustrating part is that he's not here with us now. He wants to be, he's done everything that he could possibly do to be here. Things don't always roll as fast as you want, and you don't always get the answer you want. I'm just frustrated for him more than anything.
7. Coach O's daughter is back at home, Richt said. She's still receiving treatment, but having her home is a tremendous boost for the family.
8. Greg Pyke, a 6-5, 310-pound 2012 OT, committed to Georgia Friday. Pyke was on the Georgia campus when he made he verbal pledge.
"I liked Georgia when I first came down and after today's visit with my mom and dad it was perfect," Pyke told Scout.com. "I made the decision with my parents here."

Pinterest Helps Curate & Share Collections Of Things You love
A new, visually pleasing platform for curating ideas and images online lets users offer suggestions to friends and followers.
You know that feeling when you see a beautiful jewelry on a friend, and you say, "Ooo, where did you get that?" Imagine feeling that way 50 times a day, perusing through a myriad of images of clothing items, gadgets, art, photos, furniture, gift ideas and much more.
Pinterest is a new social cataloging service that is much like a cross between a Tumblr and a FFFFound. The idea is to let users curate collections of things they love and share those collections with their followers. Once you join and follow a few active people, Pinterest feels like a curated catalog and starts to look much more aesthetically pleasing than the average Tumblr dashboard.
The idea was started by college friends Paul Sciarra and Ben Silberman.
"We both found ourselves asking friends for suggestions — good beer, nice gifts for cousins, books, art. We noticed that the people you really trust are actually collecting ideas all the time. They have folders on their desktop, links in emails, and bookmarks. We thought it'd be great if they had a space to share all those great finds. How cool would it be to browse your most well-read friend's bookshelf, or dvd collection, or closet, or art portfolio? We both felt like you shouldn't have to start a blog or spam your Facebook friends to share your taste," says Ben.
Currently, a mobile app is in the works to add pins on the go, as well as better ways to discover and recommend pins to your friends. They want to build a platform that everyone can use, but still feels personal. Ben believes that if you like refrigerator magnets, you should be able to use Pinterest to share your taste with people who will appreciate it; same goes for Inspirational posters, things made of wood, architectural sections, ceramics, food on a stick, dj gear, and baubles.

How the US and IC Titles can save the WWE

If the non fan watched WWE programming for one week, they would leave with the notion that there are two titles and they have no difference. The average fan knows that there are multiple titles, The World Heavyweight Championship is quite important, and the WWE title is king.
These are observations that have been thrust upon fans as this era of wrestling has taken shape. When WWE purchased WCW, and consequently the World Heavyweight Championship, many wondered how things would shake out. In the grand scheme of things, the integration of the World Heavyweight Championship has been very beneficial for the WWE. But the casualties have been mid card wrestlers and the secondary championships. There is so much emphasis put on winning the titles and grabbing the proverbial brass rings within the organization, that many have forgotten that the secondary titles have made more superstars than anything else in the modern era.
Here are a few examples to defend this belief:
Wrestlemania III - In one of the greatest matches ever wrestled, Ricky Steamboat took on Randy Savage for the Intercontinental Title. The end of the story was the greatness of the match, but the build up and story behind the resulting match is what made this such a war. The title itself was an enhancement to the feud. Steamboat taking the title was the ultimate vindication, but the feud, match, and result propelled Savage to super stardom within the next year.
The Ultimate Warrior - As his popularity grew from his ring entrance, high intensity, power, and his look, the need to elevate the Warrior to the next level was apparent. At the time, the Honky Tonk Man was in the midst of a long IC Title reign and had little to no heat as champ. Although the Warrior's victory to win the belt was short and sweet, winning the title at Summer Slam 88 was a huge part of making him a star. It wasn't only the winning of the title, but feuding with Rick Rude for the next year and carrying the title into Wrestlemania VI to go title vs title with Hogan was just as important.
Stone Cold, The Rock, and HHH - All three of these guys owe what they are today to their time with the IC title. Austin won the title in the match against Owen Hart where Owen broke Austin's neck, creating the Raw moment where Owen held up the Owen 3:16, I Just Broke Your Neck t-shirt continuing the feud that culminated in Austin defeating Owen for the title again later that year.
Rocky Maivia won his first IC tilte from Hunter Hearst Helmsley in February of 97 and they feuded over it, with a few more superstars for the better part of 2 years. In that time frame, Rocky Maivia became The Rock and Helmsley became HHH.
During those two years, Austin, The Rock, HHH, and Owen Hart were the only ones to hold the title, but they were all feuded over becoming the IC champ. It made for even better feuds when 3 of the 4 made it to the main event level. There was a back story to the rivalry. They didn't need to manufacture storylines to start a feud. They were already in place. And by elevating one of those guys to the top slot, the other two had the instant credibility to make the jump themselves.
You are probably saying to yourself, how would this change things now?
Well, think long and hard about when the last time there was a legitimate feud for the IC or US belt. Sure, there have been times where the IC champ has been in a feud, but most of the time the title was a secondary storyline. It seems like everyone on the roster that has been in the company for longer than a year has won a secondary title but no great feuds to go along with it. There is nothing for them to jump to once they are deemed ready for the spotlight. There is no chance for promotion by association as I referenced with Austin and The Rock.
When Wade Barrett, the current IC champ is deemed ready for the main event (which in my opinion should be soon), he will have a rivalry with Randy Orton because they have wrestled so many times, John Cena because of Nexus, and Sheamus because they are both from Europe. Other than that, they will have to create storylines to get him into position. Title reigns are not just accolades. They should serve a purpose.
The biggest reason this needs to happen is that there is no development at the midcard level. They have so many wrestlers with promise and talent that are being wasted. These wrestlers can still be used as fodder for the upper level guys, but there has to be some middle ground to build respectability. The better your midcard wrestlers appear, the better your main eventers will look when they beat them.
With two secondary titles and two major shows, it would be easier to build for the future if the US and IC titles were utilized better. Building resumes with secondary titles and great feuds is what develops better characters and viable opponents for the more established stars. It also gives the company a chance to see if the younger talent actually has what it takes to be a major champion. Feuding over a title puts the mic in the hands of superstars. Carrying a title means exposure. The more exposure they get, the more likely it is that the fans will accept their character as a legitimate superstar.

The Cappadocian Fathers' views of the Hypostatic Union
I'm currently reading James Hitchcock's History of the Catholic Church, which is truly a great book from what I have read up to now! It makes things accessible and gives you a neat overview of how things developed and related to each other.
On page 84, he has a section on the Cappadocian Fathers, who are Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa and Gregory Nazianzen (whose name I can never pronounce). On the side: Are these Saints Basil the Great and Gregory the Great?
In that section, he states the following:
Thanks. :)
Re: The Cappadocian Fathers' views of the Hypostatic Union
St. Basil the great is Basil of Caesarea. Pope Gregory I is St. Gregory the great.
251 In order to articulate the dogma of the Trinity, the Church had to develop her own terminology with the help of certain notions of philosophical origin: "substance", "person" or "hypostasis", "relation" and so on. In doing this, she did not submit the faith to human wisdom, but gave a new and unprecedented meaning to these terms, which from then on would be used to signify an ineffable mystery, "infinitely beyond all that we can humanly understand".82
252 The Church uses (I) the term "substance" (rendered also at times by "essence" or "nature") to designate the divine being in its unity, (II) the term "person" or "hypostasis" to designate the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the real distinction among them, and (III) the term "relation" to designate the fact that their distinction lies in the relationship of each to the others.
(footnote 82: Council of Constantinople II http://www.dailycatholic.org/history/5ecumen1.htm )
467 The Monophysites affirmed that the human nature had ceased to exist as such in Christ when the divine person of God's Son assumed it. Faced with this heresy, the fourth ecumenical council, at Chalcedon in 451, confessed:
Following the holy Fathers, we unanimously teach and confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: the same perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity, the same truly God and truly man, composed of rational soul and body; consubstantial with the Father as to his divinity and consubstantial with us as to his humanity; "like us in all things but sin". He was begotten from the Father before all ages as to his divinity and in these last days, for us and for our salvation, was born as to his humanity of the virgin Mary, the Mother of God.91
We confess that one and the same Christ, Lord, and only-begotten Son, is to be acknowledged in two natures without confusion, change, division or separation. the distinction between the natures was never abolished by their union, but rather the character proper to each of the two natures was preserved as they came together in one person (prosopon) and one hypostasis.92
(footnote 92: Council of Chalcedon http://www.dailycatholic.org/history/4ecumen1.htm )
Re: The Cappadocian Fathers' views of the Hypostatic Union
Does he quote anything from the Cappadocians to support his summary of their Christological teaching?
Re: The Cappadocian Fathers' views of the Hypostatic Union
Re: The Cappadocian Fathers' views of the Hypostatic Union
Re: The Cappadocian Fathers' views of the Hypostatic Union
I might add that two pages later, in a section entitled "Cappadocian Trinitarianism", a similar sentence is found.

French Drain to nowhere
It now looks that a basement moisture problem is related to a large terrace way above grade that was simply filled with clay/dirt on the assumption it would drain and not seep into basement.
Am thinking I could try running two drain pipes from the terrace out to the back at a depth a few inches below the level of the basement interior drains.
It feels like some of the terrace fill has leeched out to the basement and the yard.
It's about 60 foot to a place where a pipe can come out.
Thanks for any input
A picture so we can see what your seeing is always nice.
Here is the link to the google image.
Behind the terrace is dry crawlspace
The right side with casement windows is dry at ground level. But there is a sub basement three feet lower that gets the moisture.
At the terrace base in corner by picture window, you can see where clay from terrace fill has been pushed under the footiings and up.
The grade from the terrace base is flat for about 50 ft and slopes a further 6 ft thereafter.
Hope this helps.
Ayuh,.... Yer link don't work,....
This image should work by pasting in your browser window
Board tells me I need more posts for images to be displayed. But I would think a google link to my google drive would work by pasting.

Essendon has rushed running defender Courtenay Dempsey back into its line-up for Friday's Anzac Day blockbuster against Collingwood after a month-long club-imposed suspension.
But the Bombers' midfield contingent has taken a big hit, with on-ball pair David Myers and Heath Hocking the latest casualties, Brendon Goddard to miss a second game with a groin injury and ruckman Tom Bellchambers not yet fit enough for senior selection.
Essendon announced three changes for the game on Thursday evening, with small forward Leroy Jetta omitted along with the injured Myers, who has a hamstring strain, and Hocking, who was ruled out with what the club described as "soreness".
Experienced forward Jason Winderlich returns with Dempsey and Zach Merrett, who will play his third AFL game. Collingwood has made no change from the side which convincingly beat North Melbourne last Saturday.
With Myers and Hocking out, the Bombers will be stretched in midfield, where the key Collingwood quartet of Scott Pendlebury, Dane Swan, Dayne Beams and Steele Sidebottom all featured among the Pies' best against the Roos.
Dempsey, who had been exiled to train with the club's VFL side at the start of April after failing to meet training and preparation standards, only rejoined the senior group earlier this week. Essendon captain Jobe Watson said on Thursday that the skilled and pacy half-back had dealt well with his punishment.
"He looks like he's trained well. It's always a risk, but if the selection committee want to go down that path it's up to them," Watson said. "I think Courtenay offers us some unique skills that he has. I think the way that he's handled himself the last month, the way that he looks, physically the way he's looked after himself, I think talking to him that he's enjoyed the experience.
"I think he's learned a lot and grown as a person, and obviously as a player I think he offers some enormous attributes to the side that perhaps we need.
"I think that he had to discover what footy was in his life and who he was as a person and what he wanted to get out of it. Everybody has to be kept to the same standard. You don't ask or expect anything more from any individual.
"The group expects a singular standard. I think that he's gone away and thought about his life and footy and what it means to him and perhaps it's opened his eyes a bit to how other people are living their lives and how privileged we are to play AFL footy."
Goddard's failure to return is another blow to Essendon, which has managed just nine goals in each of its past two defeats, against Fremantle and St Kilda. Key targets Jake Carlisle and Joe Daniher are struggling, and with ruckman Bellchambers still playing in the VFL, the Dons won't get any more respite near goal in the frame of Paddy Ryder.
Bellchambers, who had pre-season ankle surgery, will be given more time in the reserves after playing his first game for the season against Bendigo last Friday.
"Tom's just not quite ready," Watson said. "He's done a lot of work getting himself back and played really well for a half, but I think they're willing to give him another week in the VFL."
Goddard's continued absence will also hurt Essendon's scoreboard output. Only three players - Kyle Hardingham, Paul Chapman and Brent Stanton - have booted more than his five goals this season."He just didn't come up," said Watson. "In the end he knows his own body, and if he didn't feel like he could perform then you know deep down."
Pendlebury was pleased on Thursday when learning of Goddard's likely omission.
"Any time a quality player like 'BJ' (Goddard) is out of the side, it's always nice, but they're still going to be up and about tomorrow and we expect a fierce contest," Pendlebury said after Magpies training on Thursday.
A dual Anzac medallist, Pendlebury said the blockbuster was always an occasion he looked forward to."You come to Collingwood, it's the first thing you pencil in," he said. "It doesn't matter what's happened in previous rounds, it's on from the first bounce tomorrow. You get a great crowd, a great atmosphere and it's whoever works hardest on the day gets the result."

An average hour of monitored prime-time US network TV programming in Q408 contained seven minutes, 59 seconds (7:59) of in-show brand appearances and 13:52 of network commercial messages, for a combined total of 21:51 of marketing content, according to TNS Media Intelligence.
These commercial messages account for 36% of an average prime-time hour.
Late-Night Shows Nearly Half Commercials
Unscripted reality programming has an average of 13:52 per hour of brand appearances, compared with just 5:56 per hour for scripted programs such as sitcoms and dramas, reported TNS.
Late-night network talk shows have an average of 13:54 per hour, according to TNS. The combined load of brand appearances and network ad messages in these late night shows is 29:34 per hour, or 49% of total content time.
Tough Jobs Need More Marketing
The regularly scheduled prime time programs with the largest volume of brand appearance time in Q408 were America's Toughest Jobs (44:50 per hour); The Biggest Loser (40:37); and Knight Rider (30:27).
About the research: TNS Media Intelligence tracks branded entertainment within network prime time and late night programming and identifies and measures brand appearances their duration and attributes. Given the short length of many Brand Appearances, duration is a more relevant metric than a count of occurrences for quantifying and comparing the gross amount of brand activity that viewers are potentially exposed to in the program vs. the commercial breaks, according to TNS.

Nintendo Wii U: Thousands of gamers queue for Christmas gaming gadget
Thousands of gamers across the country queued into the early hours to get their hands on Nintendo's new Wii U console, with stores reporting that stocks of the eagerly anticipated follow-up could run out.
But its launch masks greater concerns at Nintendo, where executives are hoping that a successful new console can end what has been the worst year in the company's history on a high note.
In April, the Japanese company posted its first annual loss in three decades, while its half-year report for 2012 showed a further loss of £219m thanks to weaker than expected sales of its 3DS handheld console. The Wii U's American launch saw first-week sales of 400,000, a figure eclipsed by the 750,000 shifted in the same frame by the seven-year-old Xbox 360.
It has been an annus horribilis for the entire industry. August saw the closure of the highly regarded Sony Liverpool studio, while software sales hit a record low. The latest instalments of tentpole franchises such as Halo and Call of Duty failed to sell as many copies as their predecessors.
But outside Oxford Street, fans' enthusiasm was undimmed. Four games developers pitched their tent on Saturday afternoon having already decided who would be the first to get their hands on the Wii U in a Mario Kart tournament in September.
The winner, 25-year-old Izzy Rahman, travelled from Luton for the launch. "If I hadn't started playing Nintendo games as a child, I could have been living a life of crime," he said. "The first game I really got into was Zelda, and I became really passionate about it. It was then that I wanted to become a games designer and my results started getting better at school."
Second in line, Sing Duong, 26, said he loved Nintendo's "innovative" approach to gaming. "I'm a games fan, so I play everything, but one of the reasons I'm a Nintendo fan is that the graphics don't matter. Playing Pong is still fun, and it wasn't successful because of its graphics."
Analysts have been more sceptical, pondering whether the console's unique features – including a game pad with a separate screen – make up for its poor specs.
Oli Welsh, deputy editor of Games website Eurogamer, said: "The twin screen aspect could be very big, and Microsoft and Apple will definitely be watching. But from a gaming perspective, it's a difficult sell. People may not see how it could be beneficial to the gaming experience."
He anticipated that the Wii U would do "very well in the short term," but added: "there is a worry once the more powerful consoles release that it won't get the best versions of the top-selling multi-platform games like Fifa and Call of Duty." There are also concerns over price.
"The Wii U, at £250 for a basic package, is a bit more expensive than the Wii, and it's coming out in an economic climate where it's harder to persuade families to part with more than £300 for a console and games."
Neil Saunders, managing director of retail analysts Conlumino, said the Wii's appeal for casual gamers was the key to selling almost 100 million worldwide units. But this could create a problem for its successor. "Retailers are fairly optimistic about the Wii U, but there is a worry that the older consumers who played video games for the first time on the Wii will decide they don't need the new console, as the old one works just fine for them," he said.
A HMV spokesman said: "The industry is excited that we've got a new product. The Wii had such a great family application and we hope that the Wii U has the same appeal."
Nintendo bosses will be hoping to match company's projection of selling 5.5m Wii U units by April, especially since its president Satoru Iwata slashed their bonuses in response to lower than expected sales.
But it's not the first time they have been written off. Gamers were initially sceptical about the Wii's remote, which was dismissed as unwieldy, while the firm's apparently reduced purchase on the hardcore gaming market never evidenced itself in lost sales.
"It's unwise to bet against Nintendo: they've been in the business longer than anyone. But I don't think the Wii U will be bigger than the Wii," said Mr Welsh.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The
two-time defending Big Sky Champion Northern Arizona women's
soccer team has inked seven players to national letters of intent,
10th year head coach Andre Luciano has announced. The incoming
freshman will help offset the loss of five seniors from the 2009
squad and join a veteran team that is expected to return 10 seniors
in 2010. The Lumberjacks have won consecutive Big Sky Championships
and advanced to the NCAA College Cup two years in a row.
"I'm very excited about this incoming class. I feel that they are a perfect balance for our returning players in terms of what we are trying to accomplish as a program," Luciano said. "We are not only looking to win another conference title but also hoping to advance further in the NCAA Tournament. They are quality human beings and great student athletes as well and I expect them to represent out program in an exceptional manner."
All seven signees hail from outside of Arizona, with four coming to Flagstaff from California, two from Utah, and one from Maryland. Each player has played extensively not only in high school but also for highly-respected club teams. The signees are presented in alphabetical order.
Rebecca Berry, D/F, 5-4, Layton, Utah (Northridge HS/Layton Strikers)
Three-year starter and four-year letter winner in soccer at Northridge HS…2009 Northridge HS Defensive Player of the Year and Region 1 All-Area Second Team selection…2008 Region 1 All-Area Honorable Mention…Played club soccer for United Front (2007-08) and Layton Strikers (2008-10)…Daughter of Joseph and Eleanora Berry
Luciano on Berry: "Rebecca is easily one of the fastest players I've ever coached. She's a player that came through our camp system and impressed us tremendously with her ability to play out of the back or as an outside midfielder. She has tremendous pace and is very tenacious in her ability to defend. She will look to make an immediate impact with us on our back line or as an outside mid."
Alana D'Onofrio, D/M, 5-6, Pleasanton, Calif. (Amador Valley HS/Pleasanton Rage)
One -year letter winner and starter in soccer, three-year letter winner in basketball at Amador Valley HS…Captain of Rage club soccer team for seven years and starter for nine years…Advanced to state semifinals in 2006 and Rage showcase semifinalist in 2009…MVP and team captain of basketball team in 2009, led team to league championship in 2007…Daughter of Kathy and Mike D'Onofrio…Also considered San Francisco, Rutgers and Oregon State
Luciano on D'Onofrio: "Alana played with a prolific club team (Pleasanton Rage) and has had excellent coaching in her youth. Tactically she is very aware of her abilities. We will look to play her as an outside back or as an outside mid. She is very unique as a predominately left-footed player and is a strong athlete that should be an impact player for us."
Shelby Foltz, D, 5-8, Escondido, Calif. (Escondido HS/Rancho Santa Fe Attack)
Four-year starter and letter winner, two-year team captain in soccer at Escondido HS…Named most inspirational player and team captain…Team was CIF participant…Club team won coast league and was champion of the Nomads tournament…Daughter of Gretchen and Steve Foltz…Sister, Georgia, will be a junior on the NAU soccer team in the fall.
Luciano on Foltz: "Shelby was a pleasant surprise for us at our Summer camps. She is a very different player than her sister (second-year defender Georgia Foltz) but she is a fierce ball-winner at the central back-line position. She is very well-schooled tactically as a possession-oriented back and can play as a central back or a central holding midfielder for us."
Madeline Malmquist, D/M, 5-6, Salt Lake City, Utah (Olympus HS/Utah Avalanche)
Three-year starter and four-year letter winner in soccer at Olympus HS…Named co-offensive player of the year as a junior…Scored game-winning goal in 2009 state tournament to defeat the defending state champion…Member of Utah Olympic Development Program 2004-06…Two-time Utah state champion with Avalanche club team, three-time finalist…Team was ranked No. 4 nationally and No. 2 in Far-West region in 2009-10…Daughter of Mike and Mary Malmquist…Also considered Idaho and Utah.
Luciano on Malmquist: "Madeline has played for one of the best club teams in the country (read more about the Utah Avalanche here). She has great experience playing in major tournaments against top-flight competition. She has the potential to do well for us as an outside midfielder or an outside back. She has very good technical abilities."
Shawnee Morgan, F, 5-9, Escondido, Calif. (San Pasqual HS/Rancho Santa Fe Attack)
Four-year letter winner and starter in soccer and softball, two-year letter winner and starter in field hockey at San Pasqual HS…2009 All-league soccer selection…2008 Valley league soccer champions, 2009 Division-I CIF semifinalist…Earned varsity soccer Coaches award in 2009…Club team won Nomads tournament and San Diego Pegasus tournament champions…Daughter of Bradley and Elizabeth Morgan.
Luciano on Morgan: "Shawnee is a phenomenal athlete who has the ability to dominate in the air as a forward. She will be a player very similar to (graduated senior) Sarah Neatherton in terms of her ability to run at people with pace and strength."
Jordan Stenger, F/M, 5-3, Baltimore, Md. (Mercy HS/Baltimore Bays)
Four-year letter winner and starter in soccer, three-year letter winner and starter in softball at Mercy HS in Maryland…Leading scorer of soccer team in 2007, captain of team 2008-10…First-team Baltimore City 2008, second-team All Metro in 2009…High school championship finalists in 2009, semifinalists in 2008…Won Frederick Cup championship in 2006 and Voorhees Classic championship in 2007 with Baltimore Bays club team…Daughter of Christopher Stenger and Jamie Mignano.
Luciano on Stenger: "Jordan is like a pit-bull or a bulldog. She showed a phenomenal work rate in our camps as a forward or center-mid. She is very aware of her surroundings and technically one of the more gifted players we will have on our team. She has a tenacious ability to attack and defend and hopefully will do very well for us."
Lauren Weaver, GK, 5-6, Winnetka, Calif. (Chatsworth HS/Real So Cal)
Four-year letter winner and starter in soccer, one-year starter in volleyball at Chatsworth HS…First-team All-city and All-league for three seasons playing goalkeeper, defender and midfield…scored winning goal to win 2009 CIF Los Angeles City Section championship…Member of Cal South Olympic Development Program 2004-07…Member of Real So Cal club team for six years…won several state and tournament championships, ranking third in the nation for under-18 girls…Club team also played four games against Mexican national team in preparation for 2008 World Cup qualifying…Daughter of Susan Weaver.
Luciano on Weaver: "Lauren will add to our talented group of goalkeepers that we have on our roster. She comes from one of the top-five club teams in the country (Real So Cal). What makes Lauren special is that not only is she a good shot stopper but she is also a great organizer in the box and has a great presence on the field. She does very well with the ball at her feet to allow her teammates to play with possession from the back. She will immediately compete for playing time with our other outstanding keepers."

Round-Up: The hydraulic fracturing debate in DC; and more
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On July 12, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Air Force, Andrea Chalfin, AP, Capitol News Connection, Energy, Environment, History, KRCC News, Military, Round-Up
Controversy about hydraulic fracturing on the East Coast may have consequences in Colorado…Colorado lawmakers have unanimously approved an audit of the state's Public Utilities Commission over how the agency has handled decisions affecting energy, taxicab and telecommunication companies…and, seven members of the Tuskegee Airmen visited the Air Force Academy today at the same time a World War II trainer airplane stopped on a trip to one of the Smithsonian museums.

|I've decided to make it because I adore the coat he wears, and his hair is wonderfully crazy! I was going to cosplay as Shirogane, but sadly I can't be bothered to save for a wig that long :|
EDIT: When I wore it to the expo, I fudged up a few things. I made a mess of my wig after going crazy with the scissors, so it looked awful spiked. Therefore I left it down xD I didn't embroider the cross onto his collar, I left it too late. My boots were inaccurate.

Strolling through campus on Thursday afternoon, you may have found yourself involved in a series of interactive performances by Roger Williams University dance majors.
The exploratory 'A Casual Interaction' project challenged dancers to explore the relationship between movement and space with a series of site-specific routines across campus. Utilizing locations from the University Library to the Mario J. Gabelli School of Business to the School of Engineering, Computing and Construction Management, the unconventional performance sites were chosen to allow the audience – their fellow students – to be active participants in the productions. Resident composer and adjunct faculty member Michael DeQuattro accompanied the dancers with an original score.
Eighteen dance majors – all junior and senior students – have studied site-specific dance in their Performance Lab and Movement Analysis class, which allows dance students to discover the way the process of personal transformation through creative expression can have a positive social impact. First explored in the 1960's during the post-modern dance movement, site-specific dance occurs outside of the conventional theatre space. The dance students choreographed a piece that responds to and expands upon traditional behavior and movement that happens in these spaces.
"Bringing dance to the steps of a library or to the sidewalk in front of your school brings the community closer to dance and dance closer to the community," says Arianne MacBean, artistic director of Big Show, Co. Her course titled Site-Specific Dance: Promoting Social Awareness in Choreography served as inspiration for the experimental display.
The project reveals not only the talent and knowledge of the RWU Dance majors, but also their ability to create movement and present it outside of the traditional setting. The performance also gave other RWU students, faculty and staff the opportunity to experience the power of dance and how it fits into everyday life.

I used one when I first started carrying. It definitely wasn't for me. It felt like I was wearing a belt under my clothes all of the time. I'm guessing this is what a girdle must feel like.
It also was really uncomfortable when I went out to eat because I could feel the grip dig into me. I ended up going with Mexican carry for years and years with no holster. I switched to a small of back Kydex holster and now am using a Crossbreed MiniTuck.

National Security Inc.
William Arkin, co-author of the Washington Post's two-year investigation into the covert intelligence network that grew up in response to 9/11, told a Middlebury College audience how he and his fellow journalists discovered that nearly one million people hold top-secret security clearances working at over 1,000 secret locations around the United States.
"We used a pretty obvious methodology," Arkin said on January 24 in McCardell Bicentennial Hall. "Everything that happens has to happen someplace. If there is warrantless wire-tapping, it has to be done somewhere. If there are secret prisons, they have to be somewhere. And so we thought: 'We are going to just map it.'"
Using public documents such as government contracts, telephone books, and the federal government's own electric bills, Arkin and co-author Dana Priest (along with several research assistants) mapped the clandestine sites from coast-to-coast where top-secret intelligence work was taking place. It was their first step into an exhaustive research project that resulted in the Post's three-part, award-winning series called "Top Secret America" and in a new book by the same name released by Little, Brown and Co. on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.
After mapping the sites and trying to determine who worked where and why, Arkin and Priest were astounded to divine the sheer volume of national security programs that rest in the hands of private contractors like General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrup Grumman.
"Almost half of the one million Americans who hold top-secret clearances today work for private companies. [They are] these so called contractors. And when I say 'contractors' here I don't mean the guys carrying guns for Blackwater in Bagdhad, I mean the contractors who are doing intelligence analysis, who are manning the actual watch centers, who are writing policy documents, who are sprinkled all over the government. People who work for private, for-profit companies so that our government can tell us that we are not growing government.
"And what is the incentive for these corporations to reduce? Zero. Their job is to make money. So not only does each individual employee cost more than somebody who is on the federal payroll–almost twice as much–but there's an incentive for compartmentalization and competition because that's how one private company beats another.
"Two thousand companies do work for various arms of the government, and one half of those companies were established since 9/11. And since 2008 they are being eaten up by the big guys like you wouldn't believe. General Dynamics, which used to make something called submarines, has purchased over 40 companies in the last three years and is now the largest intelligence contractor by far [known as] General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems Incorporated headquartered in McLean, Virginia."
Today's network of intelligence contractors "is so big, so secret, so utterly unexamined by Congress that no one knows whether or not it works or doesn't work, and no one knows what it does," Arkin told the audience of students, faculty, staff, and townspeople.
Or, as Arkin and Priest wrote in their 2010 Washington Post series, "The government has built a national security and intelligence system so big, so complex and so hard to manage, no one really knows if it's fulfilling its most important purpose: keeping its citizens safe."
During his 45-minute talk presented without the aid or notes or slides, the former Army intelligence analyst also discussed "the subtle reordering of the National Guard" which now flies predator drones in the world's hot spots in addition to protecting citizens at home, and the shift in philosophy from building a "military industrial complex" with finite goals to today's "military information complex" in which no one knows just how much information is enough, nor could all of it ever be analyzed. ("690,000,000 communications are processed every day by the intelligence community," he said.)
In addition to his public lecture presented by the Rohatyn Center for International Affairs, William Arkin spent the day at Middlebury speaking with students and faculty as the guest of Stan Sloan, a retired foreign and defense policy analyst who is teaching the course "American Power: Use and Abuse" during this month's winter term.
Arkin closed by characterizing the intelligence community today in terms of its "incompetence of gigantism," and compared it to years ago when intelligence officers in the federal government knew each other, served together, and shared a common purpose. No one person or agency today "has the ability to see the big picture because national security has gotten so compartmentalized and so huge," he said, "and I see nothing happening that's going to change that trend. The information that we live by is choking us in our national security."

At New York Urologic, our expert urologists are well-trained in minimally-invasive techniques. We also take the time to thoroughly diagnose both your condition and its likely cause.

Wherever you land on the spectrum, there is a treatment option available for you. Overactive Bladder: An overactive bladder manifests itself through false signals to the brain—making a person feel as if they have to empty their bladder before they actually do. There are numerous ways to effectively neutralize this irregularity. Dropped Bladder / Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A dropped bladder is a common problem for females of a certain age. Left untreated, it can become quite painful. The earlier you treat it, the better! BPH / Enlarged Prostate: Enlarged prostates are the norm in older men and can often cause difficulty and pain during urination. An enlarged prostate can be treated both medically and surgically. Erectile Dysfunction: This common form of sexual dysfunction in older men can be treated and generally overcome through a variety of surgical and non-surgical techniques. Urologic Cancers: Urologic cancers include cancers of the bladder, kidney, prostate and testicles, all relatively common. Male Infertility: Low sperm counts and/or ejaculatory problems lead to male infertility in millions of men. Oftentimes, male infertility can be overcome.

The Wisconsin Catholic Conference in collaboration with the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, Region 9 (state of Wisconsin) sponsored a gathering of the Bishops of the five Wisconsin dioceses and Women Religious in congregational leadership. Sister Jane Riha was among the 21 people to participate in the afternoon of dialogue and sharing on Oct. 30, 2012, at St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee.
The purpose of the conversation was to share perspectives regarding the pastoral needs of the Church in Wisconsin and ways to work together to meet those needs. A sense of mutuality and respect for one another was evident as the Bishops and Sisters met in both small-group and large-group sharing sessions. The participants considered how Bishops and Sisters can be more unified in serving the Church. They reflected on how to foster deeper dialogue and a positive view of leadership in the Church.
A plethora of ideas for continuing a mutual relationship with one another were surfaced during the sessions. The gathering concluded with evening prayer in the seminary chapel followed by a meal.

Words: Joseph Espiritu
Racing and rain went hand-in-hand during last weekend's Gravity East Series finals at Plattekill Mountain, NY, in an exciting weekend of racing in which frontrunner Neko Mulally cemented his place as one of the East Coast's top gravity racers.
Mulally, who had come into the finals with a solid points lead in the dual-slalom series, also took top honors in the DH series with a first-place finish in the men's pro category, beating second-place finisher Jason Memmelaar by almost four seconds.
"Mulally finished first in the men's DH with a time of 2:32.33," said Ken Getchell, Gravity East's publicist. "Jason Memmelaar came in at 2:36 flat, with Ben Moody placing third with a time of 2:38.39."
Mulally was also able to work his magic in dual slalom after crashing in the semis, coming back to place third in the finals behind Alejandro Ortiz and Kyle Karpuska. His podium finish allowed him to rack up enough points to keep his first-place standing and clinch the championship title for the event.
The course, which was drenched with rain for the two days prior to the race, was under sunny skies on race day.
"People were saying that the course was actually a lot more slippery after it had dried," Getchell said. "It seems to always rain before race day, with the sun coming out on Sunday, but usually the damage has already been done."
In the women's DH, Dawn Bourque won the season championship title after placing first with a time of 3:19.15 to beat Karen Eagan, whose second-place time was 3:26.63. Third-place finisher Stephanie Gubernat clocked in at 3:46.94 minutes.
In the women's dual slalom, Eagan took home the championship title after finishing first in front of Kate Parhiala and Lauren Daney in the finals. Although Parhiala only placed third in the finals, her overall points standing was high enough to keep her in second place for the season standings.

Jamaica captain planning to prove critics wrong
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC-Jamaica's captain Tamar Lambert is planning to prove his critics wrong by performing consistently in the upcoming Caribbean T20 tournament starting next month.
Lambert has been under some pressure here after comments in some cricket circles claim he is not suited for the shortest format of the game and therefore should not have been included in the national set-up.
"People sometimes say stuff, but I don't worry about what they say because that's their opinion" Lambert told the Jamaica Observer.
"I can only prove them wrong by going out there and performing consistently".
Lambert struck a thunderous 74 in an easy victory against a Jamaica Premier League (JPL) XI in a recent practice match as his side continues preparation for the T20 tournament being jointly held in Trinidad & Tobago and St Lucia from January 6.
His knock, which included 11 fours and two sixes scored from only 46 balls, comes on the heels of other impressive innings in local competitions.
"It was a good innings, but I still can improve" said the 31 –year- old cricketer.
"I'm a confident person, but I always try to look at my cricket and see where I am lacking. It has been constant work in practice sessions as I get geared up for this Caribbean T20 competition".
Jamaica, title-holders of the regional four-day and Super50 competitions, have never won a T20 title.
However, the former national youth player, who has successfully led Jamaica in five straight four-day campaigns, believes confidence could help his men take the title from defending champions Trinidad and Tobago.
"In the practice game we did well as a team and we tried new things, including starting with a spinner in the bowling line-up", said Lambert.
"There is still room for improvement in the batting and bowling, but our catching and ground fielding has been good. We just have to back ourselves going forward and get our confidence up as much as possible".
The 14-man squad, without standout batsmen Christopher Gayle and Marlon Samuels, as well as wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh, took a break for the Christmas holidays and was expected to return to practice yesterday.

I doesn't surprised, seems about right- when you consider the array of offerings and price spectrums-
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
Im just curious what percentage of the Rugers are LCP's....
and why I don't have one yet!

Ruger I can understand with their offerings (are they counting rifles also?)
I have seen at the range a lot more S&W's recently. Father-in-law bought one recently
It makes sense to me. I own something from each of the top 4.

Those are almost the numbers that I would have guessed.
I expect Taurus to be high since there are so many 'new' gun owners entering the market.

I'm surprised Taurus isn't higher because Taurus is cheap, compared to the others. I don't like Taurus and probably will never own one (due to two family members having theirs break while new, right out of the box first time firing), but people do like cheap, especially if they are first timers. They LOOK nice and they are normally lower priced than most other things in there (except for HiPoint and a few others). Glad to see S&W above Glock in that survey though (lol).

I am surprised that there isn't more Glock, Sig, and Keltec. According to this ATF report for 2009, those three, plus Ruger, Smith and Beretta have the most total handguns manufactured. http://www.atf.gov/statistics/downlo...ort-report.pdf
Edit: I suppose Glock and Sig can contribute much of their sales and manufacturing to law enforcement purchases. Well, Smith and Beretta could too, anyways, I thought that stat sheet was interesting, I'm sure there is a 2011 floating around somewhere too.
