Comments about Women's Eddie Bauer Christine Ballet Flat:
They are really cute. I normally wear a size 7, sometimes 7 1/2. I ordered the 7 1/2. They are still small. I was hoping they would stretch out after wearing them with thick socks, not the case. I don't think I will be able to wear them without getting blisters on the back of my heals.

Listeners to the Today programme at 7.30 this morning will have been treated to one of the most blatantly biased pieces of political commentary I have ever heard broadcast. Europe editor Mark Mardell was given free rein to tell the nation what he really thought of the United Kingdom Independence Party, concluding with the thought that they were little more than "licensed court jesters" at the European Parliament. I thought Nigel Farage's response, that it was "grossly unfair", was remarkably restrained in the circumstances. It is a lazy cliché to complain about pro-EU bias at the BBC, but believers in the myth of the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation will have found much it Mardell's little rant to confirm their prejudices. He even regarded it as damning of UKIP that it has not fitted easily into the cosy consensus world of EU deal-making - when that, surely, is their whole point. It is almost as though the Beeb (or at least its Europe editor) is so panicked at the latest polls (suggesting that UKIP might beat both the Lib Dems and Labour) that it has jettisoned all pretence at balance and gone for UKIP's jugular.
I have a confession to make. I voted for UKIP in the last Euro elections. I did so fully aware of the amateurism and unrealism inherent then (and now) in the party, and that their chances of achieving anything practical were negligible. I did so despite, not because, of the fact that their most prominent candidate was the preening orange absurdity Robert Kilroy-Silk. I didn't expect them to implode. I hoped that the responsibility of having a substantial presence in the European parliament would force UKIP to get its act together, to become a more realistic and practical outfit, to work towards being more than a small protest party, even perhaps to begin reshaping politics at a national level.
It didn't happen, of course. UKIP proceeded to act rather like a lottery winner who has no experience of managing money and blows the lot in six months. There were splits. Kilroy stormed off to form his own vanity party - no great loss, admittedly. There were expenses fiddles shocking even by the standards of the European Parliament, which in one case has resulted in imprisonment. There were ugly internal wranglings. The initial cohort of twelve was depleted to nine. They have done little or nothing towards reversing European integration, which has proceeded apace, still less advanced their ultimate project of pulling Britain out of the EU entirely.
UKIP are not and never have been my ideal party. They remain, to an uncomfortable extent, a party of amateurs. I'm discomforted by the stridency of some of their anti-immigration rhetoric. Their policy of pulling out of the EU entirely goes too far. I would prefer a radical renegotiation, backed up by a realistic threat of withdrawal, with large areas of public policy returned to full national control. This isn't because I object to "Brussels", but because the way in which directives are arrived at and imposed on the different peoples of Europe is profoundly undemocratic. The EU directive has proved immensely useful to governments - above all, perhaps, the British government - wishing to get controversial policies implemented without proper scrutiny and without even taking the blame. The data retention directive, for example, under which the government is attempting to put into being a regime of all-embracing surveillance on the population, is disguised as "implementing a directive", despite the fact that it was a policy pushed by the Home Office and imposed against the reluctance of several other EU states. That alone is reason enough to ditch the entire rotten system.
The EU can never work as a fully integrated democratic state because there is no such thing as European public opinion, no single debate, and very little cross-recognition of politicians. All countries, elections to the EU parliament are fought on domestic issues. Integrationists of good will (such as, for example, Timothy Garton Ash) bemoan this, but there is little than can be done about it. History, and above all language, has made the peoples of Europe different nations. An EU that worked with, rather than against, that centrifugal instinct would be more in tune with people in all European countries. It would have less institutional power, but it would get more done. William Hague's old slogan, "in Europe but not run by Europe", is a realisable aspiration. And the Conservative party - ideally led in Europe by Daniel Hannan - remains the party best placed to deliver such an outcome. For one thing, they will probably form the next government. UKIP are unlikely to win a single Westminster seat.
UKIP remain slightly ridiculous (with, as the phrase goes, "questions to answer"), and Nigel Farage is far from being my ideal political leader. Nevertheless, I will probably be voting for them again. The implosion of the big parties - at least in terms of public esteem, at least for the time being - gives UKIP another chance to become a serious outfit. They look set to reap a good haul of seats - perhaps even more than last time. They are now older and, I hope, more experienced. All smaller parties go through a stage of amateurism, embarrassing personalities and weird obsessions. The Greens are now so respectable that the extreme radicalism of most of their policies is scarcely examined in the mainstream media (certainly not by the BBC). Yet it is not twenty years since they were represented publicly by David Icke. Labour, in its early days, was a fringe party. The Liberal party, once it fell from power, spent decades dominated by strange men with long beards. Yet the Liberal Democrats are now a serious political force. There is no reason why UKIP should not in time undergo a similar tranformation. It embodies, after all, a point of view that is held by a significant percentage of the British population. Whether right or wrong, it deserves to be represented in Brussels by virtue of that fact alone.
The possibility that they might beat Labour is almost a reason to vote for them in itself. And a good showing by UKIP would have the pleasing side-effect of keeping the BNP out, or at least down. It will break up the consensus, make mainstream politicians realise that the existence of their parties is, in the end, dependent on the public being prepared to vote for them. It is a relatively safe form of protest. And it is also a vote on the issues.

Fair enough - nobody is going to vote for an ideal party in the next few elections, if indeed they vote at all. Not voting at all does seem an increasingly worthwhile move but I suppose I will pop in on my way to work, rather than just walk by. If only 'None of the Above' were on the ballot paper in my particular bailiwick.
I'm not sure about one point. There's no European public opinion. Well, yes, but the impression that all the people of the UK 'think so and so' is surely in large part down to our pals at the BBC? No other media entity could claim to be in touch with the public in the same way - certainly no newspaper. And if the BBC consists of a bunch of leftie fibbers, well...
And is it necessary for the EU to have a collective public identity - in a traditional, nationalistic sense - for it to be a good, effective democratic entity? I think that's an untested assumption. At the moment the system is too bad to tell.

Shorter this piece:
1) the BBC are wicked and biased for saying UKIP are clowns and jokers
2) UKIP are clowns and jokers
3) ...but the EU is such a bad thing that you should vote for them anyway.
I've no problem with point 3, but I'm not sure why you're sticking it to the Beeb for pointing out something that you acknowledge to be true...

I don't know much about politics and am not really interested.
But ever since getting a flyer through the door from Jean-Louis Pascual of "The Roman Party. Ave!" who wants to "build a bridge" (no more details given), I've been encouraged to look up the various parties and see who I might vote for, after all, I want to see if the booths have changed since the early nineties.
Problem is, in going to the websites of the various parties, it seems impossible to actually find any policies. All I read is whether a party is Pro-Europe or Anti-Europe (who cares? Countries are only social constructs - I care about governance, not the location of governance), and the ubiquitous anti-corruption statements (as if this tells me anything - it should be a given).
It really doesn't help me decide where I stand. I know I'm not a socialist (despite WML's assumptions) and I'm certainly not a conservative. The things I believe in have little to do with the things any of the parties talk about it seems. Watching 90% of political debates leave me no more informed or excited than watching an episode of Eastenders.
There are a few glimmers of things I'd care about in the literature:
"MEPs should be free to vote in line with the best interests of the UK and of
their constituents. They should not be required to obey party whips." (The Jury Party)
"Every law in Europe must be made by someone elected." (Libertas.eu)
"Referendums should be called across the EU whenever requested by 5% of the EU's electorate." (The Jury Party (not the details, but referendums are a good thing generally)
"Everyone having leisure time and easy access to facilities for creativity and recreation" (Peace Party)
But there's a whole heap of things I don't agree with for all those parties too. I'm an idealist, not a romantic.
Add stuff that changes the system fundamentally and I might get interested.
What we need LESS of is the emphasis on unsustainable growth, profit, shareholder-interest over customer-interest, "success" and prescribed ways of life. It's not that these things don't have a place in a free society, it's just that they are ALL OVER the place at the moment, dominating in areas where they shouldn't.
What we need MORE of is personal freedom to do what the hell we like (so long as that freedom doesn't impinge the freedom of another). For those that ignore this - harsh penalties.
I split the world in two - social construct, and individual reality. And I apply completely different politics to each.
Ultimately I like the bridge idea. I know where my vote is going.
- 30 May 2009 at 13:54
Oh, and if only they had candidates here, I'd vote for The Pirate Party without a doubt. I have NO time for the behemoths of yesterday on that one.

No European opinion? Nor will there be if the record is stuck on rejection or not. What will UKIP do in the committees? What representation will they bring? There is no discussion of there performance in Brussels.
Actually, there is plenty of connected opinion, particularly across the Euro zone. This is because there is less ignorance of affairs in other countries and perceived common interests. No one, for example, is calling for dismantling the Euro.
There is no point in bemoaning a lack of democracy if there is scarcely any national engagement and discussion. This is the case in the UK. It seems as though the parties are vying with each other for who can supply the weakest voice in Europe.
All the talk about a referendum is driven by the increasing voice of those who wish to leave the EU. Such a referendum should happen. The fractured relationship with the EU, disenfranchises the UK electorate and is a drag on the EU. It is a boil that needs to be lanced.
Complaints from critics of the EU about a lack of democracy are nothing compared to their complaints at any proposal to enhance EU democracy.
The fact is that if you want an open trade area, there have to be rules and checks and balances to make sure it is fair and not abused. I think such administration should be democratic and open to scrutiny. Of course if you want GB to 'go it alone', then good luck, but large as the UK economy is it already has to kow tow to US trade policy, it would also be in hoc to EU decisions without any ability to resist supranational government or business organisations.

Bizarrely for me, I read an interesting old book on the subject of European integration recently; "Europeans" by Luigi Bargini. It was the only vaguely interesting book that was available in English at a lovely little book bazaar in Lille.
As I say, it's not a subject I know much about, but that book actually left me feeling quite pro-European, in principle at least.

@ John B: It's OK for me to say that UKIP are "clowns or jokers" (some of them, anyway) because I don't have a legal obligation to be impartial at election time. The BBC does. Mardell's piece this morning breached the BBC charter.
@ DCF: One of the southern ones
@ Valdemar: Is it necessary to have a strong collective identity to be a functioning democracy? I think so, yes. Even the Swiss and the Canadians have a national consciousness. The test is simple: what do you think of politician X (a French socialist, say). Do you think of him primarily in terms of being French, or in terms of being a socialist? If most people see him and think, "that French bloke", then almost by definition you're not going to get proper politics. (You might even say that one of the problems the present government in Britain has is that so many people look at Gordon Brown and think, "that Scottish git".
@ Matt, "Watching 90% of political debates leave me no more informed or excited than watching an episode of Eastenders."
You watch Eastenders? From your description, you sound half-libertarian and half-Green, a very strange combination.
Libertas is potentially quite a good idea, but a Europe-wide party attracting hardly any support in equal measure across the continent isn't going to get very far. If there were such a thing as European popular politics the parties and the debate would be cross-border, and it clearly isn't. The Jury Team is misconceived, I think. I would never vote for someone purely on the basis that they're "independent".
I too like the idea of a Roman Party. But why isn't Boris Johnson leading it?
@Martin: "No one, for example, is calling for dismantling the Euro."
Actually, some people are, especially in Germany. You shouldn't confuse politicians with people.

"[UKIP] were little more than "licensed court jesters" at the European Parliament"
I'd regarfd that as fair comment. Of their 2004 intake, one went off in a huff because he couldn't be leader and founded his own party, Vanitas.
Another want to prison for benefit fraud.
Another is being investigated for embezzling the European Parliament and had to pay back EUR 40,000 of expenses.
It's not a brilliant record, is it?
- 30 May 2009 at 17:24
OK, you got me. I don't actually watch Eastenders, so am analogising from a position of ignorance. It's possible that it would leave me +more+ excited and informed than 90% of political debates. *grin*
"I too like the idea of a Roman Party. But why isn't Boris Johnson leading it?"
There can only be one emperor, and as much as I like Boris, Jean-Louis Pascual, bus driver and potential bridge builder, is clearly the man.

It is terribly unfair on court jesters, who were intelligent, hard-working, professional types to compare them to fraudsters who are little more than the BNP in blazers.
Anyone who votes for such racists should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Heresiarch comes over like those Germans who voted for Herr Hitler despite their misgivings over his attitude to Jews because they didn't like the Weimar Republic.

- WoollyMindedLiberal said...
I don't often have anything good to say about David Cameron, the author of the all-time nastiest Tory Election Manifesto, but we share a dislike for the UKIP.
When he described them as "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists, mostly" my only slight dissent is over 'closet'.
Evidence for this is not in short supply. The founder of the UKIP, Dr Alan Sked himself, described them as 'racist' and 'infected by the far right'.
To anyone who has seen their election billboards or heard their rhetoric this is as much of a surprise as being told that the sun rose in the east this morning.
- 30 May 2009 at 21:47
- WoollyMindedLiberal said...
The Heresiarch may have a point, Mardell should not have called the UKIP 'jesters' he should have called them 'racists'. The BBC should remain neutral of course, people have a right to be fascists, communists or racists after all.
Out of interest did Mardell actually say they were 'court jesters' or something similar such as they were 'looked upon as court jesters' which is subtly different and could be seen as being consistent with the BBC's duty of impartiality.
Is it worth checking the precise words he used?

I recall talking to a Texan who justified his vote for Bush in 2004 along very similar lines. I believe Einstein had something to say about doing the same thing twice and expecting different results.
And the Conservative party - ideally led in Europe by Daniel Hannan - remains the party best placed to deliver such an outcome..
Daniel Hannan? I suppose if we want blustering publicity-seeking oafs who badmouth our country representing us in Europe, you can't do much better, but I'd prefer someone who actually liked other people and wasn't a twat.
It embodies, after all, a point of view that is held by a significant percentage of the British population..
Well, yes, but these people are known as "Daily Mail Readers" and I'd rather gouge my eyes out than give them any more reason to believe they actually represent the whole of the country. Just because a "significant percentage" of the British Population are racist ignoramuses doesn't mean we should put them in charge.

Cameron appears to be intent on honouring his crazy pledge to remove the Conservative from the influential mainstream centre-right grouping in the Euopean Parliament and march them off into the wilderness to sit with the loonies. Or, increasingly, one has to say the other loonies given the presence of Daniel Hannan and his ilk among them.
I'm old enough to remember the days when the Tories were the pro-business party and therefore pro-EU and Labour were the anti-business and therefore anti-EU. I think it was Tony Benn, in a rare moment of lucidity, who used to denounce it as a 'capitalist club'. For once the old Trot got it right but as always he then drew the wrong conclusion.

McDuff: Well, yes, but these people are known as "Daily Mail Readers" and I'd rather gouge my eyes out than give them any more reason to believe they actually represent the whole of the country.
Even they wouldn't think that they represented "the whole of" the country. But they do represent a sizeable constituency. I know it's annoying when people you don't agree with have a point of view, but it's called living in a democracy. Get over it.
@WML If I had any reason to think that UKIP was inherently racist then of course I wouldn't vote for them. The fact that there are racists in it does not make it a racist party. And I note that some of the more racist elements have recently defected to form their own splinter-group. There are racists in the Tory party, if you look hard enough; not so long ago, there were plenty. I'm hoping that UKIP will evolve in the direction of being a sensible party. But this election does represent their last chance.

So Sked says they are racist (it took him 7 years from his retirement as leader in 1997, when UKIP were thrashed in the election, until he claimed they were racist in 2004) and Cameron says they are racist and that's about it really! You might add that Mr Tango himself, Kilroy-Silk, also said they were racist – but not until after he had lost his leadership bid.
Looking at their electioneering material, they take a robust view on immigration but I cannot find any overtly (or covertly) racist statements (unlike the BNP). Maybe I am missing something. While it would be true to say that racists might find their policies on immigration attractive, it is not true that holding such policies makes you racist – there are other perfectly honourable reasons why one might consider a curb on immigration sensible. It always seems to be the political activists who have reason to fear UKIP's success (Cameron, for one) who throw the term racist at them. I don't, personally, support UKIP and I suspect they do attract some unsavoury types who find their immigration policy attractive but I dislike the use of the term racist as a smear without sufficient supporting evidence.

OpenEurope has published an important league table of MEP performance here: http://www.openeurope.org.uk
MEPs have been ranked using two main categories:
'Transparency, openness and democracy' and 'Fighting waste and misuse of EU funds'.
I have gone through the data for UK Greens, Con, Lab, LibDem and UKIP and summated their scores, then divided by the number of MPEs. The lower the score the better.
Here are the results :
Greens - 51
LibDem - 116
Conservatives 152
Labour 205
Ukip 343
This survey is vitally important for the electorate. People are understandably angry with the three Westminster parties, and at the moment, due to deficient information, UKIP is the main beneficiary of the disaffection, polling 10-16% at the moment. This research shows that voting UKIP in protest at MP expenses scandals is to jump from the Westminster frying pan into the Brussels fire.

"I know it's annoying when people you don't agree with have a point of view, but it's called living in a democracy. Get over it."
Eh? That's conflating two very different propositions:
1) people I don't agree with shouldn't be allowed to have a point of view
2) people who have particularly stupid opinions shouldn't be allowed anywhere near government
Anyone who believes position 1 is a fascist; but position 2 is perfectly consistent with living in a liberal/constitutional democracy (where the whole point of the independent judiciary, constitutional law and so on is to stop really stupid things being done because they're popular amongst the idiots of the electorate).
& on the BBC charter thing, pointing out facts is not in breach.

@John B: "the whole point of the independent judiciary, constitutional law and so on is to stop really stupid things being done because they're popular amongst the idiots of the electorate".
I wholeheartedly agree. Democratically elected politicians have a regrettable tendency to do stupid, illiberal and popular things. New Labour, with its ghastly procession of home secretaries, has been a particularly notable exponent of illiberal populism. However, on the particular question of Europe, there are, like it or not, large numbers of people who don't like the way Europe has continued to develop during the thirty odd years since a very different sort of common market was accepted in a referendum. To go on pretending that their views don't really matter is profoundly undemocratic, and before UKIP arrived on the scene all the main parties - even the Conservatives - were doing precisely that.
I don't know if you heard Mardell's report, but it went far beyond stating the facts towards blatant editorialising. He wouldn't have dared make such a piece against one of the larger parties.
@Doc Richard: thanks for that. As I said, there are severe problems with UKIP as a party, and with some of its members. But I'm not sure about your conclusion. Partly because my support for them at the moment is purely tactical. One of the consequences of a UKIP breakthrough would be an immense shock to the system, which would head off a return to "business as usual". If they beat Labour, it will quite likely finish Brown off for good, which is reason enough. After all, however much power the European parliament now has, the impact of Britain's MEPs is quite negligible - only a tenth of the total.

Even they wouldn't think that they represented "the whole of" the country. But they do represent a sizeable constituency. I know it's annoying when people you don't agree with have a point of view, but it's called living in a democracy. Get over it..
What a specious argument. I could live in a country where 90% of people thought that vaccines caused cancer and that evolution was a liberal plot to discredit Christianity and this wouldn't make me sit back and say "oh, I guess that's alright then, this is a democracy after all." As it happens, I *am* long resigned to the fact that I have to share this country with fact-shy idiots who will vote a party ticket or lumber off to put in a protest vote for a fascist every five years. I don't expect us to have decent government. But I forget the part of living in a democracy where I'm not allowed to heckle.
A vote for UKIP will have the real, practical effect of keeping more insane racists in power, and perhaps putting more insane racists in power too. Moreover, the funny thing about "tactical" voting is that you don't get to mark that on the card. Your vote for UKIP looks exactly the same as your idiot neighbour who genuinely believes that the EU is Zombie Hitler's last plan to take over our sacred Christian Isle. A vote for UKIP is a tactical vote inasmuch as you're telling a bunch of lunatics "I believe the Daily Mail is telling the truth!" So, y'know, good luck with that strategy. I'll be over here heckling and voting for Chris Davies. Bet I end up happier with my chosen MEP than you do with yours.
However, on the particular question of Europe, there are, like it or not, large numbers of people who don't like the way Europe has continued to develop during the thirty odd years since a very different sort of common market was accepted in a referendum..
I'd be willing to wager a considerable sum of money that if you took that group and asked them simple questions, fewer than one in ten would be able to give you a correct answer about any aspect of the EU and its interaction with the British Parliament. However, we'd get a lot of Mailite claims and anti-immigrant rubbish. I generally view UKIP or BNP voters as having the same level of intellectual curiosity as your average homeopath, particularly as browsing their own website leads one quite quickly to the conclusion that they don't know how the EU works either!
Huge public ignorance coupled with general low-level grumbling does not a cohesive argument for withdrawal make, I'm afraid. But then, I haven't actually seen a single cohesive argument for withdrawal ever. Not a statement about the form it would take, about how we'd deal with increased regulatory costs importing and exporting to the mainland common market, about which specific EU policies and regulations we would remove and which we would keep supporting ourselves, etc etc. The CAP, for example, is a shocking waste of money, but we'd almost certainly keep subsidising our farmers. On the other hand, the people who witter on blindly about the EU in the editorial pages of their daily newspapers also spend a lot of time denouncing the ECHR and the Human Rights Act, so that might well be the first thing to go in a brave new post-European world. And it's worth noting that the ECHR is the only thing that's kept Blunkett, Smith et al in some vague semblance of check this past decade.
I don't have any real problem with the Daily Mail crowd casting their utterly ignorant votes - as you rightly point out, sharing our ballot boxes with mouthbreathers is one of the necessary burdens of democracy. But I'd no more believe that one of the more incompetent, incoherent and corrupt parties getting more votes is a "good thing" to "shake up the system" than I believe that about the BNP winning elections in Burnley and Oldham.

What's strawman about it? Did you misunderstand the meaning of the word "could"?
Large numbers of people believing things is neither proof that they are correct nor proof that when they get their fair democratic representation that we won't be better off. But as Mencken said, Democracy is the belief that the people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.
In the meantime, as well as posting spurious anti-EU nonsense that's largely exaggerated if not entirely made up, the Mail gives space to creationist columnists who think Global Warming is a conspiracy. Nevertheless, while I admit I didn't throw the illustrative example particularly far from its point of origin, it nonetheless remains an illustrative example. I don't live in a country where 90% of people are creationist denialist whackjobs, I live in a country where around 30% of people are creationist denialist whackjobs. I could live in a country where 2% of people are whackjobs. The numbers do not change the whackjobbiness, nor would I feel especially well done by democracy were they to enter parliament en bloc and start putting forward legislation banning the teaching of evolution and burning huge piles of coal in the countryside "to show the lefties who's boss".
I think it would be a strawman if I had claimed that, say, UKIP were a bunch of corrupt tossers without the first clue about how the EU really works or a sensible plan explaining what "withdrawal" actually means in real terms if this was unrepresentative of the larger party. Think I'm safe though.

Review and reconfirm by four/fifths (4/5) vote, the Council's previous action on October 18, 2005 to authorize staff to conduct an informal bid process to construct interim improvements to Barkentine/Sea Cove and other miscellaneous drainage improvements.
On October 18, 2005, the City Council found that an emergency exists concerning the construction of interim improvements to Barkentine/Seacove and other miscellaneous drainage improvements. This emergency situation will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids to construct these improvements.
Approval of both the informal bid process, the construction plans and the negotiation and execution of the construction contract with the City's on-call Roadway Maintenance Contractor, Hardy & Harper Inc., staking and inspection services with the City's on-call Engineering Consultant, KEC Engineers Inc. and the expenditure of $295,000 (which includes $20,000 for construction contingencies (of which $1,500 has already been utilized for unforeseen conditions on PVDS east of Crestmont) and $13,900 for construction staking/inspection) for this work required a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the Council under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(1).
In addition, Public Contract Code Section 22050(c)(1) requires that when a governing body takes action under Section 22050(a)(1), it must review this action and reaffirm it by a four-fifths (4/5) vote at each subsequent regularly scheduled meeting until the action is terminated. Accordingly, because at the time of writing this report, four of the five improvements have been completed, staff has placed this item on tonight's agenda. This item will be placed on each subsequent agenda until all five projects are completed and the City Council accepts the project as complete.
The following is a brief description of these storm drain improvement projects and their status:
Project: Status:
Barkentine/Seacove Interim Improvements:
- Improvements to Sea Cove and Barkentine Construction
- Modification of the existing drainage structure on Construction
- Modification to an existing grated catch basin Construction
- Improvements on Bronco Drive west of Palos Verdes Construction
- Improvements in "Nobleview canyon" involving the Construction
Total Construction Cost: $262,600

Shotpeening increases tensile strength and reduces fatigue while lessening the material thickness required. The thinner material allows for increased wheel travel and provides a softer ride.
Bolt-style leaf alignment clamps prevent leaves from fanning out and allow the leaves to twist and flex, yielding higher articulation.
Each spring is preset using hydraulic stress to reduce fatigue in the steel and prevent sagging.
Some applications include leaf springs with steel encased rubber bushings. Other applications include blue urethane bushings.
Anti-friction pads are placed between the leaves to reduce friction within the spring and noise from metal-to-metal contact.
Tapered and roll-pointed leaves add flexibility and provides an even deflection rate. Tapering allows a smoother transition between leaves as compression takes place, resulting in a softer ride with increased wheel travel.
Springs are either cold wound with chrome silicon 9254 or hot wound with 5160 to guarantee long life.
BDS coil springs are designed to withstand full coil bind. In other words, you can smash our coils to totally flat and they will return to their original height.
A polyester based powder coat is applied to ensure flexibility and durability.
Each spring is preset with a hydraulic stress to reduce fatigue in the steel and prevent sagging.
Shotpeening increases tensile strength and allows for maximum wheel travel without sacrificing the life of the spring.

Saint Leo, Fla. (March 24, 2007) – The Saint Leo University softball team (23-12, 5-4 SSC) moved a game over .500 in the Sunshine State Conference with a doubleheader sweep of visiting Eckerd College (13-25, 1-11 SSC) on Saturday afternoon. The Lions won game one 6-3 before finishing off a sweep of the weekend series with a 9-1 five-inning win in game two.
Saint Leo was led by senior Hayley Mallory (Plant City, Fla.) who went a combined 4-for-7 with an RBI and three runs on Saturday. Ali Flynn (Dr., Miami, Fla.) added a 2-for-6 performance with three RBI on the day. Eckerd's Amy McGathay was a combined 3-for-7 with an RBI and a run in the doubleheader.
The Lions took the lead in the first inning of game one, as Mallory led off the game with a single and later scored on a ground out by Erin Brunt (Sr., Clearwater, Fla.). Saint Leo stretched its lead to 3-0 with a pair of runs in the second with Shelly Bartlett (Jr., Sarasota, Fla.) and Flynn registering an RBI.
Eckerd battled back with a run in the fifth and then tied the score with back-to-back RBI doubles by Leslie Bryan and McGathay in the sixth. Saint Leo grabbed the lead for good with a three-run sixth inning. An RBI double by Flynn capped off the scoring and provided the final margin.
The Tritons opened the scoring in game two with a run in the first, but Saint Leo quickly regained control with four runs in the bottom of the inning. Heather Stroud (Jr., San Antonio, Fla.) delivered the biggest hit of the inning with a two-run double.
The Lions added to their lead in the third when Ashley Urbanik (So., Riverview, Fla.) belted a two-run homer over the left field fence. Flynn delivered another RBI single in the fifth before pinch hitter Chrissy Clingan (Fr., Tampa, Fla.) ended the game with an RBI single that also scored Stroud with the final run of the day.
Saint Leo will host Valdosta State University on Wednesday for a 5:00 p.m. doubleheader. VSU is currently ranked 13th in the latest NFCA Top-25 poll.

Arrow insert?
Noob with a quick Q. I just got a new sew of Carbon Express Terminators cut at the local shop. I've noticed a difference between these and all the others I've had. The lip on the end of threaded insert for the points, on all my others, have fit flush with the arrow. My latest half dozen have a small lip on the lip(if this makes any sense) that sticks out just a little wider than the arrow. Almost as if the inserts were for a larger diameter arow. I'm not really noticing any difference in their flight. But I'm thinking that if the'll be a problem it will be when it counts. Should I be concerned?

Carbon Express makes inserts specific for certain shafts. Often it is hard to tell which goes to which, but if you read the packaging it tells you which shaft that insert is designed for. The inserst for the Terminators, 3D Selects, and CX is what I am familiar with. The inserts for those are determined by shaft size (200, 300, 400, 4560, 6075, etc). They are very close to being the same and if care is not taken it is easy to get them mis-matched. I know I have done it in the past. Had the same little lip hanging out beyond the shaft. Never had a problem with accuracy or arrow damage, and I shot them for about a month until I noticed. Maybe it made them harder to pull out of my targets, but I really can't remember. I did re-do my shafts though, not because of performance, but just because I like things done correctly. You may want to take them back to the pro shop and see what they will do.

Dorman grad earns prestigious teaching fellowship
Amanda Hall, a December 2008 graduate of the University of South Carolina, has been awarded a 2009 Knowles Science Teaching Fellowship in Mathematics, which will support her professionally and financially for up to five years.
Amanda Hall
The university's eighth Knowles fellow, Hall is a graduate of Dorman High School and the daughter of Phyllis and Mike Hall of Moore.
"Mandy Hall's selection as a Knowles fellow is testimony to her hard work and dedication as a USC mathematics major committed to becoming a high school teacher," Dr. Ed Dickey, a professor of mathematics education in the university's department of instruction and teacher education.
Mandy's leadership experiences as part of the South Carolina Teaching Fellows factored into the competitive selection process, which included applicants from Stanford University and the University of Michigan, among other prestigious institutions, said Dickey.
Hall holds a S.C. Palmetto Fellowship, a S.C. Teaching Fellowship, a University Scholarship and a Lavisky Education Scholarship. On the President's Honor Roll for six semesters, she received the Jeong Yang Award, which recognizes outstanding Carolina undergraduates in mathematics, and was named Outstanding Undergraduate Student in Mathematics Education by the department of mathematics.
Outside the classroom, she has been a co-leader for College Bible Study and a Children's AWANA Leader at Shandon Baptist Church. During her summers, she served with Child Evangelism Fellowship in Spartanburg. She became certified by TCE (Teaching Children Effectively) in August 2007 and is working for her secondary certificate in the master's-level program in teaching at the university.
Knowles fellows are exposed to a variety of teaching resources, curriculum materials, research and experts in the field. Most importantly, fellows develop into a community of scholars of high-school science and mathematics teaching, gain confidence in their own teaching abilities, learn to support each other and are ready to act as leaders in science and mathematics education.
Hall was assisted by the Office of Fellowships and Scholar Programs. For more information on national fellowships, visit the Web site: www.sc.edu/ofsp.

Water Quality Study 2008
Keiser and Associates evaluated the water quality of Asylum Lake and Little Asylum Lake from 2006 to 2008. The purpose of the water quality assessment was to develop a better understanding of current lake conditions, identify factors influencing water quality, and recommend strategies for long-term management and improvement.
Efforts of the study included:
- Watershed delineation and assessment of runoff contributions
- Identification of stormwater pollutant sources and loading estimates
- Water quality monitoring (seasonal and wet weather)
- Stormwater inlet and lake outlet sampling
- Sediment sampling
- Aquatic plant surveying
- Development of a hydraulic mass balance
- Development of a phosphorous mass balance
- BMP recommendations and preliminary stormwater treatment concepts
The study found both lakes to be considered mesotrophic to eutrophic, meaning they are experiencing an overload of nutrients. Stormwater inputs are significant, and pollutants are mainly entering the lake from drains located near Drake Road and Stadium Drive. Large concentrations of phosphorous were found at the bottom of the lake and in the sediments. Heavy metals such as mercury were also found in bottom waters and in sediments, most likley from atmospheric and stormwater sources. Anoxic conditions were recorded indicating high sediment oxygen demand. Recommendations for improving the health of the lakes included invasive species management, stormwater control, and sediment/hypolimnetic treatments.

Starting Nursery tomorrow
I am due to go back to work in Jan & DD starts nursery tomorrow. I wanted her to start early in case there are any problems & I can be on hand.
We went on Friday for an induction & we left her there for an hour, they said that she was up & down. One minute asking for us then they managed to distract her & she was ok.
I know that she will be fine & she will love it at playgroup but I am dreading tomorrow morning.
Not sure if she knows what we are doing to her tomorrow because she has been very clingy more than usual & keeps asking for cuddles (which I am loving)

Extended Event Handlers (XEH) by Solus and Killswitch¶
Version: 2.00
Released: 2009-06-25
Creator: Solus
Maintainer: Killswitch
Contributors: Sickboy
This addon allows a virtually infinite amount of event handlers to be used together from different addons. The event handlers are executed for the matching class and all inheriting classes. The event handler init line also contains the extended event handler class to look for, so you can have a custom inheritance for custom units.
Normally event handlers can only be added in configs, and trying to add a new event handler caused all previous event handlers to be overwritten. This addon allows that limitation to be overcome. This is mostly useful for having addons that can add different functionality, for example in OFP addons that had their own event handlers wouldn't inherit default event handlers, such as a custom unit with EHs being used with ECP or FFUR wouldn't have the ECP or FFUR effects.
"Other" extended event handlers by Killswitch¶
This adds support for using extended event handlers for all Arma event types
Extended fired event handler¶
This allows a virtually infinite amount of fired event handlers to be used together from different addons.
The extended fired event handler has several different parts:
First the extended init EH is run for all units to add together and compile all of the inherited fired event handlers and use setVariable to attach those to the unit.
The extended fired event handler is added to the base class called Extended_EventHandlers so that all the CfgVehicles class EventHandlers
inherit it. When a unit fires and sets off the event handler the shot is immediately captured in the same game state cycle. Then the compiled
extended fired events are called by using getVariable to retrieve them from the unit.
The fired event handler init line contains the extended event handler class to look for, so you can have a custom inheritance for custom units. The event handlers are executed for the matching class and all inheriting classes.
It allows more fired events to be used together, for example a script that makes shots affected by wind and a tracer script could be used together.
There are two example Extended Init addons included to demonstrate how to assign new event handlers and the event handler inheritance. The example pbos should not be installed except for testing.
There is an example addon included to demonstrate how to assign new fired event handlers and the event handler inheritance. The example also has a quickly called function that is able to capture information on the shot in the same game state cycle before the shot is updated and moves away from it's starting position and changes it's status. The example pbo should not be installed except for testing.
The addon "SightAdjustment_AutoInit.pbo" is an addon that makes gmJamez' "GMJ_SightAdjustment" addon compatible with XEH.
Note to addon makers: Before XEH 1.1, you had to make sure to add a ";" at the end of your extended init line to separate it from other extended inits. This is no longer necessary - the Extended Init EH will separate them automatically, so ending without one won't cause a problem.
New features¶
New in 1.3: Limiting certain event handler to a specific vehicle class¶
The example addon "SLX_Advanced_Init_Example" shows how to create an XEH init EH that will only be used on units that are of the class SoldierWB,
ie the West "Rifleman". Units that inherit from "SoldierWB", eg the Grenadier, won't run the init EH.
One can do the same thing for the other XEH event types. For example, to add a "GetIn" event handler that works only on the the vehicle XYZ_BRDM2, but not on the XYZ_BRDM2_ATGM variant you would do something like this:
... class Extended_GetIn_Eventhandlers { class XYZ_BRDM2 { class XYZ_BRDM2_GetIn { scope = 0; getin = "[] exec '\xyz_brdm2\getin.sqf'"; }; }; }; class Vehicles { ... class XYZ_BRDM2: BRDM2 { ... }; class XYZ_BRDM2_ATGM: XYZ_BRDM2 { ... }; };
Note that within that innermost XEH class, you have to put a string value with the same name as the desired event handler. In the above example it was "getin". For the "fired" event handler, you would use
... class Extended_Fired_Eventhandlers { class SoldierEB { class XYZ_SoldierEB_fired { scope=0; // We wish to make a SoldierEB-specific *Fired* EH, so the // property name should be "fired" // fired = "_this call XYZ_SoldierEB_fired"; }; }; }; ...
New in 1.5: Excluding certain descendant vehicle types¶
With XEH 1.5, you can exclude one or more subtypes of a vehicle from getting a certain XEH event handler. To do this, you add a directive,
exclude, in an inner, "composite" XEH class (introduced in 1.3).
Here's an example of how to exclude the west pilot class from running the basic Man class XEH init event handler. Instead, there's a special
init for the pilot ("SoldierWPilot"). Note that all subclasses of "SoldierWPilot" will be excluded from using the basic class Man XEH init too.
/* * Init XEH exclusion example 1 */ class CfgPatches { class xeh_exclusion_example1 { units[]={}; weapons[]={}; requiredVersion=0.1; requiredAddons[]={"Extended_Eventhandlers"}; }; }; class Extended_Init_Eventhandlers { class Man { // To use the exclude directive, we'll have to make this an // "inner" (composite) XEH init EH class class XEH_Exclusion1_Man { exclude="SoldierWPilot"; init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example1\init_man.sqf'"; }; }; class SoldierWPilot { xeh_init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example1\init_west_pilot.sqf'"; }; };
In the second example, we'll exclude both the standard west and east pilots and add unique init EH:S to them and the BIS Camel pilot. To do so, use the exclude[] directive in array form:
/* * Init XEH exclusion example 2 */ class CfgPatches { class xeh_exclusion_example2 { units[]={}; weapons[]={}; requiredVersion=0.1; requiredAddons[]={"Extended_Eventhandlers"}; }; }; class Extended_Init_Eventhandlers { class Man { // To use the exclude directive, we'll have to make this an // "inner" (composite) XEH init EH class class XEH_Exclusion2_Man { exclude[] = {"SoldierWPilot", "SoldierEPilot"}; init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example2\init_man.sqf'"; }; }; // All descendants of SoldierEPilot will use this XEH init EH class SoldierEPilot { xeh_init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example2\init_east_pilot.sqf'"; }; // Using scope=0, only SoldierWPilot will get this particular XEH init class SoldierWPilot { scope=0; xeh_init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example2\init_west_pilot.sqf'"; }; // Here, we add an event handler for the BIS Camel Pilot (which is a // descendant of "SoldierWPilot". It won't run "init_west_pilot.sqf" though // since we used "scope=0" above. class BISCamelPilot { xeh_init="[] execVM'\xeh_exclusion_example2\init_west_camel_pilot.sqf'"; }; };
You can do the same thing with the other XEH event types (fired, hit and so on).
New in 1.8: making XEH init event handlers run when a unit respawns¶
Normally, when a player respawns into a new unit (object), the init event handler is not executed again. However, with XEH 1.8, you can make an XEH init event handler be rerun when the new unit spawns. To do so, declare your init EH as a "composite EH class" (described above). Then, add a property to it called "onRespawn" and set it to true (the number 1).
Here's an example that shows how to do it:
#define false 0 #define true 1 class Extended_Init_Eventhandlers { class Man { class SLX_XEH_RespawnInitMan { onRespawn = true; // Run this even after respawn init = "_this call My_Respawn_InitEH"; }; }; };
The example above will cause all classes that are descendants of class "Man" to have the function "My_Respawn_InitEH" called both when the unit is created and after a player has respawned into a new unit.
Note that unless you have "onRespawn=true" like above, XEH will use the default ArmA behaviour which is to NOT run the init EH when a unit respawns.
IMPORTANT: This feature will only work on the player's unit - AI units that respawn won't have their XEH init EH:s re-executed. (If someone can figure out a trick to identify playable units in a MP mission, this limitation could be removed)
New in 1.9: version stringtable and "pre-init EH" code¶
You can get a string with the version of Extended_Eventhandlers using the "localize" command. Here's an example function which will return the
version as a decimal number or "0" if XEH isn't installed:
/* Return the version of Extended_Eventhandlers, or 0 if the addon isn't installed. */ _fXEHversion = { private ["_str", "_cfg", "_ver"]; _cfg=(configFile/"CfgPatches"/"Extended_Eventhandlers"/"SLX_XEH2_Version"); _ver=0; _str=localize "STR_SLX_XEH_VERSION"; if !(_str == "") then { _ver=call compile _str; } else { // XEH version 1.8 and earlier lacks the stringtable version if (isNumber _cfg) then { _ver=getNumber _cfg; }; }; _ver };
Another addition is a way to put code that you want to run only once in a new class, Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers. Anything in that class will
be called early and before any of the normal extended init event handlers have run.
Here's an example: let's say there's an addon with the following XEH init:
// Addon: SLX_MyAddon (old) class Extended_Init_EventHandlers { class Man { SLX_Man_init="_this call compile preprocessFile'\SLX_MyAddon\init.sqf'"; }; };
Using the "pre-init" system, that can be rewritten as:
// Addon: SLX_MyAddon (new) class Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers { // The name "SLX_MyAddon_init" needs to be unique SLX_MyAddon_init="SLX_fInit=compile preprocessFile'\SLX_MyAddon\init.sqf'"; }; class Extended_Init_EventHandlers { class Man { // Call the function we loaded in the PreInit class SLX_Man_init="_this call SLX_fInit"; }; };
Warning: if you write your addon using this new "pre-init" system, keep in mind that it won't work with XEH versions older than 1.9.
New in 1.91: PostInit and InitPost¶
Two new event handler types can be used to execute things at a later stage, when all XEH init EH:s have run and all mission.sqm init lines have been processed by ArmA. It happens just before the mission's "init.sqf" is executed.
The PostInit handler mirrors the pre-init event handler introduced in 1.9 and will make a code snippet run once per mission. Example:
class Extended_PostInit_EventHandlers { // Run "late_init.sqf" just before the mission's init.sqf and after // all other init EH:s and mission editor init lines have been processed SLX_MyAddon_postinit="[] execVM 'SLX_MyAddon\late_init.sqf"; };
The other event handler, InitPost type mimics the mission editor init lines in that it will be run once on every unit and vehicle in the mission. You write the InitPost EH just like you would the normal XEH init, fired etc handlers. That means you have to wrap the handler in the desired vehicle/unit class for which you want the InitPost EH applied. As an example, you could use this to set a per-unit variable that's needed for your addon. It needs to be done for all units that are derived from the CAManBase class. Here's how it would look:
class Extended_InitPost_EventHandlers { class CAManBase { // Make sure everyone is happy when the mission starts SLX_MyAddon_init="_this setVariable ['slx_myaddon_ishappy', true]"; }; };
New in 2.00: Support for ArmA II, serverInit and clientInit entries¶
XEH is now useable in ArmA II and adds support for a new ArmA II event - the "firedNear" event.
Furthermore, one can limit a certain init EH to just clients or just servers by placing it in a
serverInit or
clientInit entry within one of the Init EH classes (ie within
Extended_Init_EventHandlers or
TODO: add examples of using
serverInit and
XEH Change log¶
2.00 (Jun 25, 2009)
New: XEH ported to ArmA II with the help of Sickboy.
Added: support for the new "firedNear" event
serverInit and
clientInit can be used along with
or instead of the normal
init snippet to limit initialisation
to certain types of machines.
1.93 (Feb 16, 2009)
Fixed: empty vehicles created after the mission started did not get their
InitPost handlers called.
1.92 (Feb 09, 2009)
Changed: Some optimizations made (eg use pre-compiled XEH init functions).
1.91 (Dec 20, 2008) (Unofficial, for use with the ACE mod)
Added: New "post-init" feature that can be used to have a script run once
at the end of mission initialisation, after all init EH:s and mission
init lines have executed, but before the mission's init.{sqs,sqf}
is processed.
Added: There's also a per-unit, "InitPost" XEH framework which lets you run
scripts at the end of mission init. Unlike the PostInit event handlers
described above, these snippets run once for every unit in the mission.
(The name of this framework may change in the future to avoid confusion
with "PostInit")
1.9 (Sep 21, 2008)
Fixed: before, vehicle crews would not have their XEH init EH:s run until just
after the mission started. Now they are run before mission start.
Added: A stringtable with the version of XEH in STR_SLX_XEH_VERSION and
STR_SLX_XEH2_VERSION for use with the "localize" command.
Added: a way to have run-once, "pre-init" code run using the new
Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers class.
1.8 (Sep 7, 2008)
Fixed: game logics inside vehicles would cause a performance drop due to a
infinite recursion in the code that handles initialisation of
vehicle crews. Thanks to UNN for the bug report!
Added: you can make XEH init event handlers execute when players respawn by
using an inner XEH class and the "onRespawn" boolean property.
1.7 (Mar 16, 2008)
Fixed: Removed XEH from class Static, which stops ArmA from crashing to desktop
when resuming saved games.
1.6 (Mar 15, 2008)
Fixed: The "exclude" property will apply to the specified class(es) and all
subclasses thereof.
1.5 (Mar 15, 2008)
Added: Composite ("inner") XEH classes can have an extra property, "exclude"
which is either a string or an array of strings with the class name(s)
of vehicles that should not get a particular XEH event handler.
1.4 (Mar 15, 2008)
Added: "Static" class vehicles can now have XEH event handlers.
Added: A respawn monitor that restores non-init XEH event handlers after
the player respawns. Many thanks to Sickboy, LoyalGuard, ViperMaul for
the initial research and suggestions!
1.3 (Feb 9, 2008)
Added: The ability to use "nested" XEH classes with a "scope" feature
to limit certain event handlers to objects of specific classes.
1.2 (Jan 29, 2008)
Fixed: SightAdjustment_AutoInit.
Fixed: Extended Dammaged EventHandler.
1.1 (Jan 26, 2008)
Fixed: XEH can now handle extended event handlers that are missing a trailing
Fixed: the example addons now require the Extended_Eventhandlers addon instead
of the two older ones. Also, the debug sideChats are now guaranteed to
be seen when previewing a mission with the example addons loaded.
Fixed: XEH init EH:s are now actually being called on units inside vehicles.
1.0 Initial Release (Dec 31, 2007)
Combined Extended Init, Fired, and Other event handlers. Thanks to Killswitch
for combining them and adding the other extended event handlers!
Added signature and bikey.
Init EH Change log:¶

Volcanoes emerge victorious in thirteen-inning battle, 2-1
Salem-Keizer keeps Spokane winless in extra-inning contests by picking up a run in the thirteenth to snatch the game three win from the Indians.
By Josh Hauser | August 24, 2012 11:31 PM ET
SPOKANE - Kentrell Hill waited out a lengthy at bat and drew a bases-loaded walk in the top of the thirteenth inning. Ryan Jones made a catch-of-a-lifetime type of play in the bottom of the twelfth. Tyler Mizenko struck out the final batter in the bottom of the thirteenth. A culmination of exceptional plays by Salem-Keizer's offense and defense alike steered the Volcanoes past Spokane in dramatic 2-1, extra-inning fashion in front of 6,857 at Avista Stadium.
With the victory, Salem-Keizer (15-16) grabbed the series lead at 2-1, and now sits at three and a half back of division-leading Vancouver. Spokane (13-18) continues to fall further behind the East's leaders - in the Boise Hawks - and now sits at seven games out of first.
Spokane opened up scoring in the third inning of Friday's contest with an RBI-single by Preston Beck to bring home Ryan Rua, representing the first run of the contest.
Salem-Keizer was held silent through the first seven innings, but they evened up the contest with a run in the eighth. Rafael Rodriguez singled to open up the inning and Kentrell Hill came up with a clutch, two-out RBI single to force the 1-1 tie.
Both teams were kept in check through the twelfth inning. Spokane made things scarily interesting in the bottom of the twelfth, however, as a pair of walks and a single loaded the bases for the Indians. Ryan Jones pulled through to keep the Volcanoes' hopes alive, as he made an outstanding catch on a line drive to second base to end Spokane's threat.
In the thirteenth, Andrew Cain led off the frame with a single to left field. From that point on, Spokane's pitching staff went south as three free passes throughout the course of the inning eventually brought home the go-ahead run for the Volcanoes.
Another Indians' threat arose in the home-half of the thirteenth, as two singles in the inning placed runners on the corners for Spokane. But Volcanoes' closer Tyler Mizenko came through as he has all year, and he struck out the final batter to close out the contest while picking up his twelfth save.
Lorenzo Mendoza surrendered just five hits and one run in his five-inning start on the mound for Salem-Keizer. Mascon McVay, Keith Bilodeau, Matt Graham, and Tyler Mizenko all followed up Mendoza's effective start with combined shutout relief innings. Graham earned the win while Mizenko earned the save.
Connor Sadzeck was superb in his start for the Indians, going six full innings while not giving up a single hit to Salem-Keizer. Carlos Melo was handed the loss after playing a part in filling the bases for the Volcanoes in the thirteenth.
Salem-Keizer did not need the hitting advantage to win the contest, as Spokane posted twelve hits while the Volcanoes only had five. No one had a multiple-hit performance for Salem-Keizer, but Kentrell Hill drove in two RBIs to lead the offensive efforts. The Indians' bats were led by Brandon Garcia and Ryan Rua, who each had three hits each in the game.
Salem-Keizer and Spokane will take to the diamond for game four of the series, set to get underway at 6:30p.m. from Avista Stadium on Saturday evening. The Volcanoes will go for the series-clinching win while Spokane looks to even the series and force a series-finale rubber match. Saturday's contest will showcase Chris Stratton (0-1, 2.76) taking the mound for Salem-Keizer and Eric Brooks (2-3, 3.61) opposing him for Spokane.
