It's difficult to hit a target from far away, which is why holes in one are rare and the Goodyear blimp has never been shot successfully with an arrow. Drive hard with a vengeance, thanks to this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $49 for a Load and Explode! power and distance golf lesson (a $120 value)
- $79 for five one-hour group golf lessons (a $160 value)
The two-hour Load and Explode! lesson is a small-group session for up to six students. The instructor utilizes V1 video-swing analysis and Titleist Performance Institute power tests to reveal areas of improvement that will help add distance to golfers' drives.
There are two levels of difficulty for group lessons at Waters Landing Golf Park. Level 1 classes are appropriate for beginners and intermediates and teaches basics that include an overview of the game and swing mechanics. Level 1 includes a short game with emphasis on how body motion can affect your game. It comes with video analysis and TPI Golf Fitness Concepts. For players who have previously completed level 1 classes, the level 2 advanced classes teach shot improvement, swing correction, and kinematic sequencing.
Waters Landing Golf Park
Golf balls whistle through the air as they take flight over the driving range at Waters Landing Golf Park, an 18-acre practice facility where golfers of all stripes flock to groom their game. But while the range's mix of grass and artificial tees—as well as its 15 covered and heated hitting stalls—offer ample space for solitary practice or black-market driver exchanges, the heart and soul of Waters Landing Golf Park is its golf instruction curriculum.
Helmed by PGA Director of Instruction John Hafera, lessons and clinics take a modern and holistic approach to golf improvement. Using Titleist Performance Institute's techniques for measuring golf fitness and the latest technological teaching aids—including K-Vest 3-D motion-capture analysis and V1 video-swing analysis—John and his staff assess golfers' skill sets using the "six factors of golf": swing technique, equipment, mental game, physical assessment, course management, and special knowledge. By making strides in each of these six golf facets, golfers can scratch bogeys off of their scorecards and overcome their fear of being swallowed whole by a sand trap.

Management Options for Brown Marmorated Stink Bug in Pennsylvania Fruit Orchards - 2012 Perspective
Posted: May 29, 2012
Although our understanding of BMSB biology, behavior and ecology is gradually becoming more comprehensive, unfortunately we are still in the early stages of fully understanding its behavior in orchards and surrounding ecosystems. Also, our current set of BMSB management recommendations although effective for most parts during the 2011 season, still have plenty of room for further improvement and refining.
As we discovered last season, the practical results of available management options against BMSB populations can be quite challenging and sometimes even frustrating. Despite using the best available practices within our IPM programs, utilizing the best recommended products and tactics, fruit injury levels in BMSB affected orchards ranged from almost not existing to well above acceptance levels for growers and costumers. Last year articles in the May issue of Fruit Times and the April issue of Fruit Times provided our suggestions and recommendations based on the 2010 experience.
This update will concentrate on a few of the most important factors affecting management of brown marmorated stink bug following another year of experience dealing with this insect.
Factors Influencing the Management of BMSB
BMSB biology
Despite some observations of possible overwintering of BMSB adults in dead trees in the woods, it seems that most BMSB adults that infest orchards in the spring survive winter inside some kind of dwelling, and most of the time outside of orchards or other agricultural settings. This spring (2012), we have observed adult BMSB coming out from houses and other structures starting in March, with the majority seeming to emerge very recently, in the second part of May. In the spring, the BMSB adults appear to have no special preference for feeding on fruit, however during last week's observations we already found injured nectarines and peaches in orchards located close to buildings. Later during the season, these differences in the initial food sources as well as diverse starting times for emergence of overwintering adults will create a situation that allows all BMSB nymphal and adult stages to be present in the orchard at the same time, without clearly defined generational structure, as we normally see with most other fruit pests.
BMSB movement
Due to a wide range of available host plants for this pest in our region, it is important to remember BMSB can move to orchards at any time during the summer, from May until October, including multiple, consecutive influxes from surrounding vegetation such as agronomic crops (e.g., sweet corn or soybean) or woods. Effective control of one wave of stink bugs in the orchard does not prevent another wave of BMSB from entering the orchard a short time later. And since BMSB is not a resident pest in the orchard, even the best management activities against BMSB in the spring will not prevent new stink bugs from invading again later in the season, even in October. And while the detection of BMSB adults in the orchard does not always warrant an insecticide application, it is a good indicator of possible nymphal presence in the orchard. And if BMSB nymphs are present, then treatment is almost always necessary.
Monitoring challenges
This year early season attempts for using various traps to monitor movement of BMSB adults into orchards again did not provide results we expected. Although some low numbers of adult stink bugs were captured in the traps, the collections so far are not well correlated with the actual pressure observed during visual monitoring in the same orchard blocks. Results of last season's BMSB trapping observations suggest we can utilize commercially available traps (e.g., Dead–Inn traps from Ag-Bio, Inc. or Rescue SB traps from Sterling Int.) for BMSB detection in orchards, but only during late season (late July to September). Both mentioned traps were not effective in the early part of the season, when accurate detection of migrating adults could help to prevent an establishment of population within the protected area. We are continuing our BMSB monitoring research and hopefully will have better results to report as the season progresses. Unfortunately, with our current levels of understanding of BMSB biology and behavior, no specific thresholds are available that would correlate the number of observed BMSB and possible level of fruit injuries.
Efficacy of insecticides
Laboratory and field evaluations of insecticides conducted during 2010 and 2011 demonstrated the availability of multiple highly effective active ingredients registered for use on fruit. Laboratory bioassays performed by Penn State, USDA-ARS and Virginia Tech groups provide a nice complementary picture of what to expect from various insecticide products. The "Lethality index" developed by USDA researchers provides information on efficacy of products against adult BMSB after exposing them for 6 hours to a dry residue of insecticides, while the Penn State "Percent mortality" readings provide information on the toxicity of adult stink bugs after direct contact with 2 µl of an insecticide solution applied directly to the dorsal part of the insect abdomen (as it is happening during the actual spray in the orchard). Both methods utilized long-term observations (up to 120 hours after treatment) to develop the final results. To fill the gap in our understanding of the interaction between field insecticide residues and nymphs, during the late summer of 2011 we also conducted comprehensive evaluations of efficacy of field based dry residues of various compounds against second instar BMSB nymphs. The results of both bioassays conducted at Penn State--direct adults (laboratory study) and field residual nymphs--are presented in Table 1.
Management of BMSB as Part of an IPM System - Experience from the 2011 Season
Despite all the publicity the stink bug challenge is gathering, other traditional fruit pests are still present in the system and need to be managed as well. The simple presence of codling moth and/or oriental fruit moth larvae are still resulting in the rejection of fruit loads delivered to fruit processors (i.e., over a hundred rejections during the 2011 season), and external fruit injuries caused by leafrollers or plum curculio still downgrade the marketability of fresh fruit. As part of our field research during 2011, we evaluated the efficacy of various BMSB insecticide management programs in commercial fruit orchards. Tested programs, although directed and timed mostly against standard fruit pests such as codling moth, oriental fruit moth and leafrollers, within each application also included a product targeting BMSB. Applications conducted during July and September had BMSB as the main pest target. All evaluated products were tested at the rate effective against the targeted group of pests: Altacor (rynaxypyr) at 3.0 oz/acre, Belay (clothianidin) at 6.0 oz/acre, Belt (flubendiamide) at 4.0 oz, Danitol (fenpropathrin) at 16.0 oz/acre, Delegate (spinetoram) at 4.5 to 5.0 oz/acre, Endigo (thiametoxam plus lambda-cyhalothrin) at 5.0 oz/acre, Lannate LV (methomyl) at 2pt/acre, Lannate SP (methomyl) at 9.0 to 16 oz/acre, Scorpion (dinotefuran) at 8 to 12 oz/acre, and Voliam flexi (clorantraniliprole plus thiametoxam) at 7.0 oz/acre The overall timings and programs are presented in Table 2.
All programs provided excellent seasonal control of codling moth and Oriental fruit moth. The control of the leafroller complex was also very effective during the season, except for the late season injury observed during the harvest evaluation. Dinotefuran, the active ingredient of Scorpion insecticide which was used for the late season BMSB applications, is not a highly effective product against this group of pests, and with relatively warm fall weather, the larval feeding of TABM and/or OBLR was not controlled effectively.
The late season applications of Scorpion were directed specifically against BMSB populations immigrating into orchards at that time of the season. Despite targeted BMSB applications, the injury levels caused by this pest increased during harvest. With increased BMSB pressure originating outside of protected areas (e.g., in woods, soybean, other crops, etc.), and limited residual activity of dinotefuran against BMSB adults, it appears that utilized insecticide programs were not effective enough in preventing initial BMSB adult feeding on maturing fruit. And as BMSB adults were trying to gather enough resources for the incoming overwintering period, each feeding attempt by BMSB was causing a detectable fruit injury. Based on insecticide bioassays conducted last year we understand that, as direct contact activity of dinotefuran against BMSB adults is very high, the activity of field-aged residue is not effective enough to prevent the initial feeding.
Our attempts to evaluate alternative management options such as border sprays, ground cover applications, or controlling BMSB in surrounding field crops (e.g., soybean) did not generate conclusive results. The almost unrestricted movement of BMSB adults from one place to another greatly restricted the effects of such treatments and our ability to properly evaluate their direct effect. While the results were very good in eliminating the BMSB nymphal populations from treated areas, the injuries caused by BMSB adults could not be prevented.
When developing a seasonal strategy to manage BMSB at any particular location, the following factors need to be considered during the stink bug management planning process:
- Choice of insecticides: use only the most effective products with the least negative impact on the beneficial insects in the orchard. In order to reduce the number and amount of insecticides used in the orchard, consider the effect of BMSB-targeting products on other pests.
- Sources of BMSB influx: pressure from outside BMSB populations is not uniform within any particular orchard and it also fluctuates during various times of the season. And while not every BMSB adult warrants an insecticide treatment (as they can come and leave at any time), almost every nymph found feeding on trees is an indicator that treatments may be needed.
- Characteristics of specific crop/block: .not all orchards or even blocks within a larger orchards will require identical intensive management options against BMSB. Trees without fruit could still require insecticide treatments as they can still harbor BMSB populations.
- Necessity of controlling other pests: in selecting BMSB control options, growers should also consider other fruit pests and the beneficial natural enemies that may be affected by their selection of products used against BMSB.
- Planning for a seasonal insect control program: prepare ourselves for a season-long BMSB monitoring and management program. The fact that BMSB is not present in the orchard during the early season does not provide any guarantee that possible late season BMSB infestation will not happen.
The brown marmorated stink bug is here and most likely will continue to seriously threaten our fruit system for a long time. Over time, as we learn how to monitor and manage this pest more effectively, in a more sustainable fashion using tools such as insect behavior modifying materials (e.g., a sex pheromone, an attractant, repellent or deterrent) or natural enemies, our reliance on pesticides will likely be minimized. In the meantime, with the knowledge we have and the tools that are available, we need to try to "outsmart" this pest in order to continue to produce the best quality fruit. As the 2012 growing season progresses and we continue the "learn as we go" approach, we will continue to provide the newest BMSB related information to growers as fast as possible. So stay tuned to current updates and recommendations, which will be posted at the Penn State FREC web site as soon as they become available.

Koblers in Austria
I am a Kobler living in Austria. My father did some Family Genealogy.I know our forefathers lived here in the region of Salzburg, Upper-Austria (both in Austria) and Bavaria (Germany) for some houndred years. I just start my interest in the diffent branches of the familiy and wonder if some of my forefathers have emigrated tio the US, Australia or another part of the world.
I would also be glad to get some information about the original origin and meaning of my last name.
If someone can help please contact me!
Many thanks

Replaced Thermostat P0128 On No Heat
So it all started with a check engine light and "Increased Emission" message. I took my 545i to the stealer, since I have a limited extended warranty that may or may not have covered the issue. The dealer called and told me that I had a bad thermostat, which was not covered by my extended warranty. Since they wanted $525 to replace it, I opted to change it my self. I ordered a Beck Arnley 143-0869 thermostat and installed it. The code did not clear and my heater still did not work. I then replaced the coolant temp sensor right after the thermostat, which did not fix it either. I thought maybe the new thermostat was faulty so I exchanged it for the same kind and replaced it again, which was not the problem. At this point the car is drivable, but its cold even here in Texas, without a heater. The P0128 code is still active as well. Im just wondering what direction to go from here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have searched past threads, but have not found a solution. The coolant level is good and there are no problems with the fan running excessively. 75K miles.
Maybe you did something wrong while changing it? Indy charges about 200$ for it.
Coolant Temp Sensor - there is a temp sensor mounted on lower radiator hose. Is that the one you replaced?
@ Gor. The thermostat replacement is just 3 bolts and the 2 wire harness, Im pretty certain it was not any problem with the install. Pretty straight forward.
@PCY. The CTS I replaced was the one at the pump, just after the thermostat, at the front/top of motor.
Had the same problem on my E46, and later found I needed to do a better job bleeding the air out of the system.

Ok Will, that will be my next attempt at a fix. I think Im going to empty the whole cooling system and refill with fresh anti freeze. Ill fill ya in if it works or not. Im going to follow this procedure found another post.
(50% BMW antifreeze and 50% distilled water, 15 US qt) and venting system at the same time.
-Switch ignition ON without starting engine.
-Set blower fan to low and temperature for driver and passenger side to full warm. Set seat heat to MAX if available.
-Fill expansion tank slowly until Max level.
-Leave cap open and run engine at idle for 1 minute.
-Adjust level to MAX and close cap.
-Run engine to operating temperature.
-Shutdown engine and after engine has cooled, recheck coolant level.
That procedure sounds about right. Especially the part about doing it with the heater on max. Hope your battery is strong though. . I had to jump my car after this procedure, but it had a weak battery. (I just realized your instructions were with the car running. . I didn't do it this way, but I guess it's ok?)
I don't know about your car, but my E46 had a bleeder vent screw near the expansion tank. I had to remove the screw, and kept adding coolant/water until the liquid came out the hole, and I stopped seeing air bubbles.
I found I had to slowly keep pouring liquid into the coolant expansion tank until it was nearly brimming over, and then it would slowly settle lower. I kept adding until it stopped bubbling (spilling liquid as it went. . .), and then inserted and tightened the bleeder screw.
Then I found I actually had to extract some fluid from the expansion tank (using a turkey baster) to get it down under the MAX level.
Hope that helps.
Well I replaced all the coolant according to the procedure above and still no luck. I think my next move will be to take in. :mad:
I'm having the same problem
I rebuilt the entire cooling system because the expansion tank coolant measurement stick broke off and the radiator was busted on my 2005 545i. I replaced the expansion tank, water pump, thermostat, radiator, drive belt tensioner and changed the two temp sensors. I also used the Beck Arnley thermostat and water pump. I got the PO128 OBDII service engine soon code. I assumed it was the thermostat too and wasted a lot of coolant changing the thermostat a second time. I also still get the PO128 code!!! Have you had any luck figuring this out?
I also changed my water pump and thermostat, using Beck & Arnley units. A few days after the change out I got a service engine soon light with the P0128 code (engine coolant not reaching proper temperature after a specific amount of time), which can be due to a number of causes. My system was working perfectly, including heating and engine cooling and I was able to track my problem to a faulty heating coil in the thermostat.
When the BMW engine starts the ECU checks for the presence of the thermostat heater coil (which is used to accelerate the opening of the thermostat by faster heating of the wax). If the coil circuit is not sensed an error will be thrown.
In my case the heater coil was faulty and I replaced the Beck & Arnley thermostat with a Wahler OE unit and my problem was solved. The thermostat heater coil can be tested by using a multimeter across the two conductors on the thermostat connection and measuring for about 16 ohms of resistance.
A damaged thermostat wiring harness can also cause this error, because the ECU measures the coil resistance and a break in the harness will appear as an open coil.
Clear the code and see if it comes back. Then measure the coil. If it checks out look elsewhere.
And, if your heater is not operating properly it is probably not the heater coil.
$525! I changed mine this weekend because I got a code that stated it was sticking. It took me 45 minutes to swap it out and cost $84 for the stat and one gallon of coolant; this was purchased at the dealership. I always wondered why it took a bit for the heat to really kick in. Changing the stat cured that problem; now the car feels like a sauna 6-7 minutes after warming up!
thanks for the replies
Yes. I will go ahead and give up on the Beck Arnley thermostat. I tried two and still not luck. I am going back to my original OEM, as it still has some life left in it. I was planning to use it as a backup. What type of fluid do you all use? I called Prestone and asked tech support if the Any Model no sulfate, silicone, borate, etc. would actually work on the 545i and he assured me that it is good for the BMW. Has anyone else used this? I have already spent a fortune on coolant due to poor Beck Arnley designed thermostats!
Zerex G05 is what people been using but not sure why when BMW coolant is about the same price /gallon
1 Attachment(s)
Yes, I think the Zerex GO5 falls in the HyBrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) category of coolants, while the Prestone ANY model falls in th Organic Acid Technology (OAT) category. It seems that the main difference is that the OAT contains zero phosphates etc. I'm not sure but I've heard that the BMW coolant contains zero phosphates also. I read that due to the water quality in Europe they specify the OAT specification because the phosphates etc., counteract with the mineral content in the water and causes corrosion. But isn't that why you should use distilled water? Does anyone know exactly which category the BMW OEM fluid falls in? Print the attached document for future reference. Great information...Attachment 363980Thanks ALL!
Have you checked wiring to the thermostat? I'm not sure if these fail wide open or all the way closed, but I'd look at that.
Stick with bmw coolant.. Oriely's carries bmw blue coolant..
Also do you have access to INPA and or an infrared temperature gun?
I'd like to see what values the computer is seeing for coolant temps with INPA
And also see what the actuals are across the system with the infrared gun
There's a way to get a water temp gauge to come up on the instrument cluster but I'm not sure how to do it anymore. May be helpful if no other options to see a little more of what's going on.
If water temp is normal then it's either air in heating system or a control valve stuck somewhere I'd think
Hey Mikey..... just out of curiousity..... Did u check the idrive,,,, make sure the red bars are on the plus side ,on ur vent settings, ??
I thought about a possible wiring issue but this problem just appeared when I switched from the OEM thermostat to the Beck Arnley. By the way, I just realized that the sensor on the BA thermostat is actually turned the wrong angle. It probably will damage the connector if it hasn't already. I'm going back to OEM... It was practically new anyway. I just switched it bc I was installing a new Beck Arnley waterpump. I got the thermostat real cheap so I figured I'd replace it as well... BAD idea to use the Beck Arnley.
Good idea. I was actually at Oriellys yesterday ordering a bottom radiator hose coolant sensor for the 545i. I will check out their coolant.
called my local Oriellys. They said they do not carry BMW coolant. I told her its probably the equivalent, but you know these folks know hardly anything about cars. If they did, I guess they would have to pay them for their knowledge! Which brand is it?
i just gave them my make and model,,,,, double checked and called again and they do carry it ,,, The name brand is Tentosin
Or pentosin

follow up on thermostat challenge
I went ahead and slapped the (not too used) OEM thermostat that I was planning to use for backup in the 545i last night, reset the PO128 code, test drove it last night for leaks and about 90+ miles today since I was planning to drive a lot today. Well alow and behold, no "service engine soon" light. I am pissed! You can't depend on a company that clearly states that they test all components on every application diligently for quality assurance. I purchased the Beck Arnley thermostat, got a PO128 code, wrote the company, got a reply saying it must be something else, called the online retailer who quickly sent me another unit, and that one does the same thing. I'm scratchin my freakin head and changing out other temperature sensors (since I had a lifetime warranty) from autozone and oriellys before I get smart and go back to the OEM thermosat!!! I went through 2-3 gallons of coolant before I decided to recycle in a clean bucket, but at least I got my cooling system flushed out...
I hope that this saves my fellow Bimmer enthusiasts some trouble and I plan to post this issue on every blog because it just doesn't make sense! By the way the Beck Arnley water pump seems to be holding up. It also has a metal impeller as opposed to the OEM which was a polymer type of material. Only problem with the Beck Arnley pump was that the fitment was not quite right for the OEM upper radiator hose. I had to fight and fight to get it on and ultimately had to alter a $90 OEM hose by snipping the little fitment tab thats supposed to line it up to the water pump housing where it connects. Please pass this on to any threads that you encounter anyone needing to change out their thermostat. I am very leary of Beck Arnley and Uno parts for that matter at this point. I did install an Uno expansion tank and it seems to be holding up. Here is a list of the parts I used for the cooling system rebuild.
-Beck Arnley water pump
-OEM or Wahler thermostat (do not use beck arnley)
- Uro coolant expansion tank
- new (Nisens) all aluminum radiator (busted maybe due to beck arnley thermostat (was not leaking before!) This radiator does not have a drain plug like original. I highly recommend that you get one that has a drain valve. It gets more fluid out of the radiator. :-(
- water pump coolant sensor
- lower radiator hose coolant sensor
- replaced (4) main coolant hoses
- replaced serpentine belt
-replaced belt tensioner
-replace AC belt
- lots of coolant
I,ve her of Pentosin. I think they make transmission fluid too. Thanks I will see if I can get a Manager who knows what they are talking about.

I am not naming any names, and if you somehow know who/which ones, or what im talking about keep it to yourself.
I found out some people draw me things and are nice to me just to get free art back from me, or try to be my friend so they can get free art. I am disgusted with this kind of behaviour. there has been around 3 incidents now and whoever gets to know about stuff like this and decides to tells me, did the right thing and im very thankfull to know whats going on.
So im making this journal now incase more are sitting around doing this, because if I do find out I will not be a very happycrab
Not only this , but I also found out these people are real assholes towards other people. They ganged up on a 13 year old calling them a looser, they dont respect their friends and they dont even have the balls to talk to me directly.
If you are in a mindset that you will get art back from me by drawing me something then stop drawing me something. Its called a gift not a trade. I love to draw gifts, but not when I have an obligation to draw back. I am super thankfull for everything I get and I comment on it all if I see it. I am so happy that so many likes to draw my characters!
If you do something stupid, don't deactivate to get out of trouble, it will only dig your grave deeper. And do not go around attacking your friends/others because you were a jerk. Take some responsibility for a change. We all do stupid shit that we should apologize for
If people who know you go against what you did, there is a big chance what you did was distastefull and you should learn from it and not attack them for it. Ive done tons of stuff that my best friend did not like at all, and she called me out on it several times. I might not have liked it as they did it, but it takes time to realise you are wrong sometimes. Im thankfull to have people to knock me back down on the ground if I float to high. Sometimes I am to proud and to stubborn, so it can be hard to listen to people I dont care about xD so its good to have a friend which doesnt always agree with my choices!
OK RANTING DONE sorry! Just had to get this down so others who are heading in this direction stop and think before they keep going.

"The Bishop's Hour" provokes discussion on range of Catholic issues
By Denise MacLachlan
Herald staff
Some listeners call Bob Dunning a "bleeding heart liberal" while others swear he's a right-wing conservative.
Dunning is the host of two Catholic radio talk shows: the Diocese of Sacramento's program called "The Bishop's Hour," which airs each weekday from 9 to 10 a.m. on Immaculate Heart Radio radio stations (Sacramento station is KSMH-AM 1620), and "Across the Nation with Bob Dunning," a Sirius Satellite Radio program on the Catholic Channel, transmitted weekdays from noon to 3 p.m. Pacific time.
Dunning believes the contradictory assessments of his opinions reflect people's perceptions of Catholicism itself. "The church's teachings spread across the political spectrum," he said in a recent interview with The Herald. "Who decided that being pro-life was a conservative position?" "I'm also against the death penalty," he added, "which seems to mark me as a liberal."
The church teaches respect for human life and the dignity of the human person, Dunning observed, yet Catholics can be divided on specific applications church teaching. "To me, being against capital punishment and against abortion under any circumstances is a consistent ethical position, but not all Catholics agree," he said. "Even listeners who agree on a topic will have different takes on it, and that provokes interesting discussion."
Dunning provokes those discussions in a way that is unusual amid the declining standards of the talk radio format, according to Gabe Sorenson, producer of "The Bishop's Hour." "Bob is someone living his faith," Sorenson observed, "and it shows in the way he treats people. "The Bishop's Hour" is "not like a lot of secular talk radio, like Bill O'Reilly or Howard Stern — that stuff is sensationalism rather than intelligence," he added. "Bob respects people, even if he disagrees with them." By treating his guests with courtesy and intelligence, Sorenson explained, Dunning keeps the talk show focused on ideas.
Dunning has been hosting "The Bishop's Hour" from the Diocesan Pastoral Center in Sacramento for nearly 10 years. Its availability to "anyone with a working radio" is one of its best attributes, he said.
"We're in the same medium as other talk shows, right next door on the dial to heavily-listened-to channels. Anyone can tune in and they do."
Non-Catholics call in to "The Bishop's Hour" to argue about Catholic issues, Dunning noted. He also gets the word out about Catholicism to Catholics and says "preaching to the choir is not a bad thing, either — we're training leaders for tomorrow." He particularly champions the way the talk show "reflects and represents" the local community. "We follow local issues, announce diocesan events and parish events, give away books, and introduce the members of the community to one another," he said. "It is very much a community radio show."

"Haussegen" House Blessing Level
When this caught my eye, the first thing I thought of was how many compliments I receive when I wear a little metal bracelet with level that I scooped up last year. People seem to be drawn to the message of trying to achieve and maintain balance. What a great philosophy for living life under your own roof. And what a unique wedding or housewarming gift... Also available in black: http://www.design-3000.de/better+living/house+blessing+level+black.html?lang=1 from the site: "Haussegen" = House Blessing! Introducing our House Blessing Level! Based on German tradition, in earlier times a Haussegen, meaning house blessing, was commonly placed on every home. This blessing usually hung over the front door. If, for example, it hung lopsided then it was known that there was presently strife in the home. Nowadays Haussegen is primarily a saying rather than a thing, until now. Introducing our combination Haussegen – House Blessing with a bubble level. Every time there is strife and things seem lopsided, straighten things out by conveniently adjusting the bubble level! Our House Blessing Level is not only impressively designed, but makes a great wedding gift, house warming gift or simply a good luck gift. It will, undoubtedly, find an ideal spot in any home. Dimensions: 43 x 8,5 x 1,5 cm Material: multiplex, lacquered panels printed with the level inset Instructions located on the rear panel. Shipment includes: natural-colored gift box, nail for hanging the level up Our House Blessing Levels are handcrafted in the Black Forest, Germany.

Yoshua Okon's Octopus
From Hammer Museum: We were invited behind-the-scenes at the shoot for Yoshua Okon's latest video Octopus. The piece, shot on location at a Los Angeles Home Depot store, explores the relationships among Guatemalan day laborers who at home fought on opposite sides of the Guatemalan civil war, yet here in the U.S. are working side-by-side in their efforts to find employment. The work was produced during Okon's residency with the Hammer. He explains more about the work in this video. (Run time: 8 minutes)
From Humor As Art: YOSHUA OKON talks about the HUMOR in his art piece OCTOPUS. This is a rare view into how an artist constructively uses HUMOR in art to convey messages. But not only that to stir up other emotions outside of laughter. FANTASTIC!!!!

Disaster Jokes du Jour by Christie Davies
Disaster Jokes du Jour
by Christie Davies
April 04, 2011
Japan's recent combined earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear-reactor disaster has led to the usual spate of jokes across the globe. In the modern world such jokes are universal and appear very quickly after disasters, threats of disease, and celebrity deaths. There were jokes after the space-shuttle crash, 9/11, Princess Diana's death, and after Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne. There are jokes about serial killers, airplane accidents, swine flu, AIDS, and terrorism. Jokes often get recycled from one disaster to another. The latest outburst can draw on the earlier wave of Indonesian tsunami jokes, previous bons mots about earthquakes in Mexico and New Zealand, and old one-liners about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
In circulation right now:
Why did the Japanese bloke fall off his bike? He was hit by a whale.It is not entirely surprising that celebrities telling such tasteless jokes in public have been censured. What is stupid is that the politically correct seek a world where such jokes do not exist. Just as stupid are their attempts to explain the very existence of each new joke cycle in terms of the presumably sinister motives, feelings, and personalities of the individual joke-tellers. Today the jokes are said to express hostility to the Japanese. But did the wave of space-shuttle jokes after the Challenger crash express hostility to astronauts? Are the current Australian jokes about New Zealand's recent earthquake an expression of hostility to a close neighbor?
Today an elderly Japanese couple asked me to take a picture of them. When I said "Wave," they ran like hell.
Give a Japanese man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Give a Japanese man a net, and he may find his family.
"What is stupid is that the politically correct seek a world where such jokes do not exist."Apple are releasing a new device in Japan: the iPaddle.
BBC News Headline: America is to send two nuclear experts to Japan. The last time the Americans sent two teams of nuclear experts to Japan, they killed 135,000 people.
Can we start making jokes, or is it too tsunami?
More Kiwis (New Zealanders) have been buried alive than at any time since Gallipoli.At the time of the space-shuttle jokes, it was claimed that they were circulated among a small group of unfunny, callous, and warped individuals. Yet the jokes spread all over America and to other countries. There is no independent evidence that these people were anything other than ordinary citizens who in their everyday lives were caring and helpful to others.
Why aren't New Zealanders upset at their earthquake? Because all the sheep are vibrating.
Another explanation was that the jokes were a response to a fear of danger. True, those in dangerous occupations such as soldiers and police officers frequently resort to "gallows" humor. But unless you ride in a space vehicle, why would you and the other joke-tellers be anxious?
When Princess Diana died in a Parisian car accident with her Muslim paramour Dodi Al-Fayed, British liberal media pundits called the resulting jokes a coping mechanism, a way of dealing with grief. But while some in Britain wailed, keened, and came close to rending their garments at Lady Di's death, later surveys showed that most people were indifferent to yet another simple casualty of French drunken driving. They had no need to "cope," a word whose usage insults the grief of those who actually have to persist after the death of a family member or close friend. Why should anyone care deeply about Diana—a mere picture on the television? Besides, the jokes were worldwide. I found Diana jokes on the Internet in French, German, and Spanish that depended on wordplay in those languages. Others used distinctively American and Australian forms of English, and many appeared in English on Dutch and Danish websites. It was a great international joke-fest. Those who invented, told, and circulated these jokes did not seem distressed by her demise.
Did you hear that Diana had blue eyes? Yep, one blew out the left window and the other out the right window.Sick jokes involving sex, ethnicity, blasphemy, aggression, and politics liberate us momentarily from an irksome verbal constraint. They amuse because they sneak around the social rules that stifle how we speak. Sick jokes have always been with us, but disaster jokes date only from the latter part of the twentieth century and the advent of TV news programs that try to fool us into thinking we are present at the disaster scene and ought to experience the same anguish that those on the spot are feeling. This is a lie whose message is rendered incongruous by what follows—advertising jingles and banal quiz shows. Such incongruity leads to jokes. The television liberals have invented a new language cage for ordinary folks to use when speaking of distant disasters. In doing so they have called into being a new species of sick joke: the disaster joke. Unlike natural disasters, this new mess is entirely manmade.
What do Lady Di and Pink Floyd have in common? Their last big hit was The Wall.
Lady Di finally lived up to her name.

2014 Kia Forte Teased at South Korean Mall – Video
The 2014 Kia Forte won't be seen on American soil until this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, but South Koreans are getting a sneak preview of the sedan – known as the K3 in Korea – at a local mall.
We've already been teased by sketches of the new compact sedan by the Korean automaker, but now we've got our first real glimpse on what it will look like when it's officially unveiled. Trapped in a funky box inside a mall, Kia is offering small glimpses of its new K3 through openings in its grand display.
Luckily someone was on hand to grab video of every opening in the box, giving us a good look at what the next-generation Forte sedan will look like.
Kia even decided to setup a live stream of the event, but it doesn't show much other than bored workers and mall shoppers.

text: After leaving school to become a welder on the Glasgow docks, Billy Connolly made the first of many a career transformation by pursuing a folk career. He formed the Humblebums with Gerry Rafferty in 1969, who released two acclaimed albums; Rafferty formed Stealers Wheel, while Connolly returned to the folk circuit as a solo performer. Connolly's between-songs banter quickly became the focal point of his live shows. By the 1990s, his transformation to comedian was complete, although music would remain a key part of his repertoire (case in point, the U.K. #1 novelty hit "D.I.V.O.R.C.E."). In his new profession, he would become an internationally recognizable face, everpresent on club stages and silver screens.

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Despite America's current strong support for Israel, the Jewish State should be prepared to "go it alone" in the years ahead, an American professor warned.
Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz mentioned several events as reasons to be concerned. They could create "the conditions for a perfect storm," he said, with Israel at the center.
The first event is the recent publication of former President Jimmy Carter's book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Dershowitz, addressing a recent national security conference in Herzliya, Israel, called Carter's book a "watershed event" in U.S.-Israeli and U.S.-Jewish relations.
Carter's book asserts the "old canard" that Jews control the media and because they do, it prevents fair coverage of the Palestinians' plight, said Dershowitz, who addressed the gathering by satellite.
Carter's book also promotes the idea that Jewish control of American politics makes it "suicidal" for any American politician to present a "balanced view" of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Carter gave legitimacy to arguments that undermine Israel, Dershowitz said. Until now, such arguments have only been heard from the extreme right and left, he added.
The professor also mentioned college campuses where "junk academics" have created a debate on the proper role of "Jewish influence" on American foreign policy. This is instilling questions about Israel's right to exist in the next generation, he said.
Then there's the "media war" against Israel, where terror groups such as Hizballah and Hamas attack Israelis, using civilians as cover -- then reap public relations benefits when Israel retaliates and kills the civilians, Dershowitz said.
Finally, there are comments from prominent Americans such as retired General Wesley Clark, a former Democratic presidential hopeful and Supreme Allied NATO commander, who recently hinted that there is too much Jewish involvement in U.S. foreign policy. "New York 'money people' are pushing the U.S. into war with Iran," Dershowitz quoted Clark as saying.
"Israel must be prepared for the possibility of losing American support over the coming years, diplomatically, economically, militarily and morally," said Dershowitz. But Israel should not allow "these stereotypes to weaken its resolve but it must be prepared to go it alone."
Robert Satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that on a "popular level," Americans deeply support Israel. But on the "elite level," there is a "weakening" of that support.
Satloff said the only people who took Carter to task over his book were Jews. (Fourteen members of the Carter Center's advisory board resigned in protest on Jan. 11.) Twenty years ago, he said, Americans like Scoop Jackson, Jean Kirkpatrick and Dan Moynihan would have stood up against him.
"I am concerned about the weakness in support for Israel among the non-Jewish, non-Evangelical foreign policy elite that remained silent," Satloff said at the same Herzliya conference. "It is not a crisis, but in my view, it is a point of deep concern."
Calev Ben-David of The Israel Project, told Cybercast News Service there is a "troubling" trend in the U.S. of delegitimizing supporters of Israel. But he said that's because Israel's supporters have been successful in transmitting the truth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Some of the people that are against Israel feel that they have "lost the argument," Ben-David said. So instead of attacking Israel, they have now focused their criticism on those who support Israel.
This is a "deliberate strategy," because according to polls conducted by The Israel Project, support for Israel is at an all-time high in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian issue, said Ben-David.
Raising the idea of "dual loyalty" of Americans who support Israel is like saying that Spanish-speaking American citizens shouldn't participate in the debate on immigration laws, he said.
Israel has both Jewish and non-Jewish supporters, said Ben-David. It's a "smear tactic" to question their right to make an argument in favor of Israel, he said.
Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, is considered America's closest ally in the region. The U.S. is Israel's closet ally by far in the international community.
Israel is considered to have strong bi-partisan support in Congress, and visiting U.S. diplomats and politicians always make it a point to emphasize the strong U.S.-Israel ties and American commitment to Israeli security.
On a religious level, American Jews and Evangelical Christians alike regard Israel's existence as having Biblical importance.
The U.S. also is the main broker in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiating process and is leading the fight against terrorism worldwide -- a war that Israel has been waging for decades.

It Is So Wonderful - Poem by Gary James Smith
Father it is so wonderful
When You direct the day
Nothing misses Your attention
When we take time to pray
The things that seem insignificant
To others who are around
To us become real blessings
We live in Hallowed Ground
Our rejoicing is so precious
We know where joy comes from
Our strength is in the Lord
Through Him we overcome
Patiently we wait on Thee
For we can do none other
To us You are our closest Friend
More dearer than a brother
Souls that are lost You bring us too
They do not know that favour
We are but a link in the chain
That brings them to the Saviour
Our hearts are stedfast in the task
That You have called us to
Go ye forth and preach the Word
See what God can do!
Lord my heart still beats afresh
For souls who are lost
An never ending fervent love
To lift up Calvary's Cross
Where Thy Son was crucified
His blood shed for all men
May I see some souls take heed
Be truly born again!

Description: Because Orsino is hopelessly in love with the aloof Countess Olivia, he doesn't notice Viola, who, disguised as a boy, is in love with him. This comedy's plot bristles with intrigues galore, but all finally ends happily as lovers are paired. Books in this new, illustrated series present complete texts of Shakespeare's plays. However, the lines are set up so students can see the bard's original poetic phrases printed side-by-side and line-by-line with a modern "translation" on the facing page. Starting in the late 1580s and for several decades that followed, Shakespeare's plays were popular entertainment for London's theatergoers. His Globe Theatre was the equivalent of a Broadway theater in today's New York. The plays have endured, but over the course of 400+ years, the English language has changed in many wayswhich is why today's students often find Shakespeare's idiom difficult to comprehend.Simply Shakespeareoffers an excellent solution to their problem. Introducing each play is a general essay covering Shakespeare's life and times. At the beginning of each of the five acts in every play, a two-page spread describes what is about to take place. The story's background is explained, followed by brief descriptions of key people who will appear in the act, details students should watch for as the story unfolds, discussion of the play's historical context, how the play was staged in Shakespeare's day, and explanation of puns and plays on words that occur in characters' dialogues. Identifying icons preceding each of these study points are printed in a second color, then are located again as cross-references in the play's original text. For instance, where words spoken by a person in the play offer insights into his or another character's personality, the "Characters" icon will appear as a cross-reference in both the introductory spread and the play proper. Following each act, a closing spread presents questions and discussion points for use as teachers' aids. Guided by the inspiring format of this fine new series, both teachers and students will come to understand and appreciate the genius of Shakespeare as never before.

William Shakespeare, 1564 - 1616 Although there are many myths and mysteries surrounding William Shakespeare, a great deal is actually known about his life. He was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, son of John Shakespeare, a prosperous merchant and local politician and Mary Arden, who had the wealth to send their oldest son to Stratford Grammar School. At 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, the 27-year-old daughter of a local farmer, and they had their first daughter six months later. He probably developed an interest in theatre by watching plays performed by traveling players in Stratford while still in his youth. Some time before 1592, he left his family to take up residence in London, where he began acting and writing plays and poetry. By 1594 Shakespeare had become a member and part owner of an acting company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men, where he soon became the company's principal playwright. His plays enjoyed great popularity and high critical acclaim in the newly built Globe Theatre. It was through his popularity that the troupe gained the attention of the new king, James I, who appointed them the King's Players in 1603. Before retiring to Stratford in 1613, after the Globe burned down, he wrote more than three dozen plays (that we are sure of) and more than 150 sonnets. He was celebrated by Ben Jonson, one of the leading playwrights of the day, as a writer who would be "not for an age, but for all time," a prediction that has proved to be true. Today, Shakespeare towers over all other English writers and has few rivals in any language. His genius and creativity continue to astound scholars, and his plays continue to delight audiences. Many have served as the basis for operas, ballets, musical compositions, and films. While Jonson and other writers labored over their plays, Shakespeare seems to have had the ability to turn out work of exceptionally high caliber at an amazing speed. At the height of his career, he wrote an average of two plays a year as well as dozens of poems, songs, and possibly even verses for tombstones and heraldic shields, all while he continued to act in the plays performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men. This staggering output is even more impressive when one considers its variety. Except for the English history plays, he never wrote the same kind of play twice. He seems to have had a good deal of fun in trying his hand at every kind of play. Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets, all published on 1609, most of which were dedicated to his patron Henry Wriothsley, The Earl of Southhampton. He also wrote 13 comedies, 13 histories, 6 tragedies, and 4 tragecomedies. He died at Stratford-upon-Avon April 23, 1616, and was buried two days later on the grounds of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. His cause of death was unknown, but it is surmised that he knew he was dying.

Lucy Van Pelt Goes Disco
By Charles Alexander
Originally printed 2/14/2013 (Issue 2107 - Between The Lines News)
Parting Glances
I'm spending several hours this week with 40 kids, the youngest three, the oldest 14. Each has a story about being or becoming aware that they are "different," had crushes on other boys, puppy loved other girls. Incipient same-sex attractions all.
Their stories are accompanied with photographs taken by adoring parents, nosey neighbors, intrigued friends, who in the long run provide support, rejection, bewilderment, and once in a while applause.
Each kid's awakening moment features in a new book, "Born This Way: Real Stories of Growing Up Gay," by Paul Vitagliano (Quirk Press, $14.95). Vitagliano is a radio DJ, events promoter, self-styled "promosexual." Presumably a big Lady Gaga fan.
"I started the BTW project to show young gay kids that they're not alone: many others have gone through everything they're experiencing now," says Vitagliano "We must share our stories and pay it forward for future generations. Being gay is as normal and natural as being straight."
"How could they not but know I was gay?" asks Dennis, now 38, of a picture of him treasure snapped for posterity at age 3, with his hands artsy on his hips, one knee a little too akimbo, in Vogue magazine high fashion style, not to set off gaydar alarms for today's readers.
Then there's Steven, age 4, looking every bit the little charmer in a blue baton-twirler's costume. His sister's. He says, "I don't remember wearing it, but I'm sure my mom thought it was harmless and funny. As early as this age, I loved feminine things: art, and playing doctor with my cute neighbors.
"Later I was in chorus and band, like many of us kids back then. I was the only boy in junior high to choose disco class over football."
Clarissa, age 4, born in the Bronx, 1969, is shown riding a Merry-go-round motorcycle. "I always wanted to be tough and dirty, and I would go to work with my dad the mechanic. My mom found a way to get me to wear dresses by making them herself, patterning them after Lucy Van Pelt of the Peanut's cartoon. I acknowledged Lucy's toughness, and I felt touch in those dresses too."
Not included in the book is someone very special to me: Bobby, age 5. The picture (see above) is taken at Lake Orion, Michigan. Bobby answers to the nickname given to him by his Uncle Jack: "Buzz." Bobby also learns early on to provide full title information should he be lost (or, kidnapped for ransom by a Buck Rogers movie serial villain): Charles Robert Bobby Alexander, Jr.
Bobby is an only child, which is OK with him, as there are plenty of kids in the apartment building where he lives. He is popular with girls, Betty, Joan, and Patsy, but enjoys playing baseball, kick-the-can, and What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? with Burton School classmates and neighborhood chums.
At age 13, Bobby who has magically become Al, is told by same-age, former kindergarten buddy, Charles Authier, "We better stop this, or we'll grow up to be, you know, queer." (I know what happened to one Charles. I wonder whatever happened to the other?)firstname.lastname@example.com

32 Comments on "Random Photos Part Four – Thirst Project Gala"
Nice to see Charisma – dress crazy, but glad she looks healthy.
Charo – you look that good at 70! Yow! She is so talented. Guitarist, fashionista, business woman. She's cool.
I love Charo. Most folks don't know she's an amazing classical guitarist. She's won at least one Grammy for her music.
Maybe her time is just over in H'wood? Charisma used to be HUGE back in the Buffy/Angel days but no one can maintain that level of popularity forever. And honestly, she's not the greatest actress in the world… That said, if anyone had to stop getting work and disappear after those shows I feel that it should have been SMG if only because she is reportedly such a truly horrible person.
I understand that the 90's are long over and thus Charisma doesn't get invited to many events anymore (to put gently) but good GOD girl; it's a charity event not the freaking Oscars!
charisma is 40 and still banging
Just became glaringly obvious to me Jesse McCarthy May be the answer to many an ex tweeners blind…like the bath house blind…like the done hiding it blind.
Things that make you go…ahhhh
Charisma's dress is false advertising. I zoomed in for a closer look. Disappointed.
Charo…. begone
So glad when this skinny pants trend on guys disappears. Everyone looks like they got the wrong size tux.
Man…Charo looks amazing. Exactly the same as she did on the Love Boat.
Of course Jen's hands are in her pockets. LOL.
Haven't seen Carisma in ages !!! That dress makes her boobs look huge !!!
Now so done just put charisma in touch with a stylist STAt..lol
And not Zoe….she'll try and get her to lose 75 lbs for no reason
@erin no problem, and I agree…must be new chapter for her, thankfully
I look at that picture of Charo and think – Arianna Grande in 50-60 years.
Charisma that dress is a serious fashion don't -I can't even understand it
Jen Garner effortlessly beautiful
they are like the opposite of each other here
Charo in her usual attire I see
@Tricia Shaw – Thanks for the info. That's awful. I wondered why she never popped up in any of Joss Whedon's stuff since he seems to work with some of the same people a lot. I thought maybe they had an issue. It sounds like she's been through a lot. With her being out & photographed, maybe that means something has changed for the better. I hope so anyway.
I was about to say the same thing about Charisma and suddenly there was Charo. Blew the thought right out of my mind.
Damn I straight went to Jen hands. Where's the ring?
Think there were death threats../attempted somethingetc
Friggin whack world
@orville thx and I like your work too
@erin…she had a bad stalker back in her prime
Retreated to quiet life
Don't like that gown on Joely.
Joely Fisher's face doesn't look quite the same. I don't think it's just the natural aging process. Why isn't Charisma Carpenter in more stuff? I feel like there's some kind of story there.
Tricia I do like what you did there!
[email protected]
That dress on carpenter seriously lacking…charm
(See what I did.."charisma woulda been too pedestrian)
I do <3 Charisma but that dress…no
Charo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love!
Charo! si, IMPLANTE!
More like the Thirsty for Attention.
I refuse to believe Jennifer's star has fallen that far.
I feel like we all should've attended this party….. Who are these folks?
Coochie coochie Charo!
I haven't seen Charisma Carpenter in a long time.
I wish I went another day w/o seeing Jesse.
Drake Bell is the guy always calling out Biebs rite? If so good on him
and Christ knows who the rest are.
Jen's hands are in her pockets damn her.

Happily-married and the owner of a trucking company, John Matthews (Johnson) seems to have things squared-away nicely. But when his son is arrested in a drugs snatch, Matthews is forced into a tough bargain with D.A. Joanne Keeghan (Sarandon) to keep the 19 year-old from a long stretch in jail.
The trailers would have you believe this is a slam-bang action movie with Dwayne Johnson as a father helping out his jailed son by taking down a drug cartel. Do not believe the hype: it's really an issues drama about punitive prison sentences and plea deals that occasionally slips into being an action movie. Johnson gives a thoughtful, toned-down performance, but the film's preachy attitude to drug policy sometimes gets in the way. Still, go in expecting a nuanced thriller with chat favoured over combat, and Snitch is more than up to snuff.
While not the balls-out action movie the marketing suggests, this Rock-powered family drama is not with its moments.

Iron Overload (Hemochromatosis) ... To Screen or Not to Screen?
July has been designated Hemochromatosis Screening Awareness Month in the United States but the question all year long everywhere in the world is: Whether to screen or not to screen? That is the question that divides the health care professionals who care for people with hemochromatosis, a disorder commonly called iron overload.
If not recognized and treated, iron overload can have dire consequences such as scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), diabetes, and heart failure.
The means to screen for iron overload are available. But they are not being used. Why? Because there is disagreement about whether screening should be done.
Some Areas of Agreement

Poirer, Brachmann & Willard sizzle
in Seaway Mall Night
at Merrittville
Jim Irvine Merrittville Speedway Public Relations 905-892-8266 … firstname.lastname@example.com or www.twitter.com/merrittville
If the racing in Merrittville Speedway's Seaway Mall Spring Sizzler April 27th was any indication of whats to come in the Thorold DIRTcar facility's 62nd season – Race Fans are in for quite a season in 2013. Lucas Oil Weekly Racing Series action saw Steve Poirer top the touring Patriot Sprint Tour's Canadian Series Opener.
Chad Brachmann stole the Bobcat of Hamilton 358 Modified 35 lap Main Event with a last second move and BJ Willard bested the field in the Rick's Delivery Sportsman Division. Steve Poirer has been arguably the hottest sprint car driver in the northeast over the last seven months, so when he drew the pole for the feature Saturday Night at Merrittville many would assume he would easily claim the win; while he would indeed win, it was far from a runaway.
Poirer, of St. Mathieu de Boleil, QC, claimed the Patriot Sprint Tour season opener for the second-straight year, his ninth career win under PST sanctioning. Poirer led all 25 laps of the A-Main at the line but on three separate occasions, there was a different leader at other points on the track, "We are on a super good roll," declared Poirer in Victory Lane. "When you have luck on your side you are happy and you just continue racing." For the complete report by PST Media Director Rich Vleck click on http://patriotsprinttour.com/newsItem.php?tag=1&year=2013&item=141
Chad Brachmann, of Sanborn NY may have had luck on his side as well as a move on the final straightaway saw him edge Pete Bicknell by a mere 4/1000th of a second at the finish line in the Bobcat of Hamilton 358 Modified Feature. "We finally got back to Victory Lane here," exclaimed the former Sportsman Champion, "it's been a long time … and it feels good!" Brachmann literally led just 6 inches – taking the win from Bicknell who became the new leader after a lap 33 caution.
Prior to the final yellow it was Chris Steele who ended up not so lucky. Steele, of Fenwick had taken control of top spot just before a lap 4 caution from third generation driver Erick Rudolph of Ransomville, NY and appeared to be focused on his first feature win of the new season in the Pete Cosco-owned 17c. Steele slowed suddenly while the field was under caution for the lap 33 incident that was originally for Billy Bleich, Jr after the rear end cover and gears fell out – leaving him virtually powerless. Rudolph had taken top spot away from initial leader Brandon Easey. Brachmann and Bicknell were followed by Rudolph, Mat Williamson and Larry Lampman, Jr.
BJ Willard took control of the 25 lap Rick's Delivery Sportsman Feature on a restart at about the half-way point after his cousin and defending Champion Cody McPherson slowed with a 1flat tire. Willard set the pace until a final caution on lap 22 set up a three lap dash to the checkered flag. Willard, the fourth generation driver ran away to a ¼ lap lead at the finish with Darrell Farraway and Greg Panunte both making late race charges to get by early leader Gary Lindberg who settled for fourth spot. Jim Johnstone rounded out the top 5. "It's nice to start the season off on the right foot," said BJ Willard in Victory Lane, "it's a confidence builder … hopefully it will give us some momentum going into the new season. I can't thank my sponsors enough – I wouldn't be here without my sponsors … CAA Niagara … Brian Staff … CAA Battery Service ,,, ERD and Genesis Shocks and to my dad for all he does!"
Lindberg took control of top spot from initial leader Joey Mastroianni who outraced visiting driver Jessica Power to new Starter Steve DeVos' first green flag of 2013. The start of the event saw second generation driver Jason Moore wrestle top spot from Mastroianni before Lindberg – another second generation driver.

Suns blanked by BlueClaws twice in four-game series loss
By Eli Pearlstein / Hagerstown Suns | August 17, 2014 9:06 PM ET
LAKEWOOD, NJ - The Hagerstown Suns (36-21, 80-47) got shutout by the Lakewood BlueClaws (22-35, 49-77) for the second time in four nights on Sunday evening, falling by a final of 9-0. Lakewood won the four-game series against the Suns three games to one.
On Sunday starting RHP Jon Prosinski (5-5) limited Hagerstown to seven hits in seven innings while striking out four to earn the win. RHP Delvi Francisco pitched the final two scoreless frames to complete the shutout. Offensively Lakewood plated seven runs in the second inning to take control early. Suns starter LHP Travis Ott (0-1), who was just called up from Auburn earlier in the day, lasted just 1.1 innings. In his Suns debut he suffered the loss, getting charged for five earned runs on five hits and one walk. Hagerstown used a total of four pitchers in the contest.
In the third game of the series on Saturday night catcher Spencer Kieboom broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning with a single up the middle with the bases loaded, driving in two to give Hagerstown the lead for good. The Suns went on to win 4-2 to pick up their only win in the series. Starting RHP Lucas Giolito (10-2) tossed five innings, surrendering one earned run on seven hits while striking out five to collect his sixth consecutive win and his eighth win in his last nine outings. Starting RHP Tyler Viza (3-16) gave up three earned runs on seven hits over 5.1 innings as he wound up with the loss for Lakewood. LHP David Napoli picked up his fifth save for the Suns, throwing a scoreless ninth.
In game two of the series on Friday night the BlueClaws scored five runs in the first three innings, and wound up winning by a final margin of 6-4. The score was knotted at 4-4 heading to the bottom of the third, when catcher Andrew Knapp hit a one-out double to right field. He moved to third on a single, and scored what wound up being the winning run on a sacrifice fly to center field. RHP Julio Reyes (3-4) combined with two other Lakewood relievers to keep Hagerstown off the board after the third inning. Reyes picked up the win, working 1.2 innings in relief and allowing just one hit while striking out two. Starting RHP Wander Suero (3-1) suffered the loss for the Suns. He pitched five innings, giving up five runs (four earned) on 12 hits and one walk while striking out four. RHP Nick Rodesky threw the final inning for the BlueClaws to record his first save of the year.
In the first game of the series on Thursday night the Suns suffered a rain-shortened 8-0 loss. The game was halted after just six innings, resulting in Hagerstown's first shutout defeat since game two of a double-header on June 13 against Greenville. Starting RHP Nick Pivetta (12-8) surrendered four earned runs on nine hits including one homer over five innings, as he got tagged with the loss for the Suns. Starting RHP Ranfi Casimiro (5-9) pitched a complete game for Lakewood. He allowed just two hits over six innings, walking six and striking out three. The win was Casimiro's first in six starts against Hagerstown this year.
In total Lakewood outscored Hagerstown 25-8 over the course of the series, and the BlueClaws out-hit the Suns 52-31. The Suns next return home to Municipal Stadium to begin a three-game series with the Greensboro Grasshoppers (35-22, 79-48), which starts on Tuesday, August 19. First pitch on Tuesday is scheduled for 7:05pm.
