Two Piece Bandage Bikini Purple
- Type: Two piece bikini set
- Pattern Type: Solid purple
- Material composition is the same as our now very famous bandage dresses: Rayon, Nylon, Spandex
- Water Notes: Not for long periods in water.
Wear a purple bandage dress after your day in the sun and continue to look stunning.
Carly from Dresses & Denim is fabulous and a great supporter of our bandage dresses and swimwear. In this article she wears our purple two piece bandage bikini.
"You guys know I love the Kewl Shop's bandage dresses, so I was excited to give their bandage swimwear line a try. I choose this traditional purple swimsuit, that pairs effortlessly with everything including a chambray top or peasant skirt. It would also look great with a sheer white or black cover-up for the warmer months. The bandage fabric reflects the sun perfectly and gives a glowing effect, which makes it a gorgeous tanning suit compared to the traditional swimwear fabrics. The Kewl Shop has several dramatic swimsuits in the line and also a few beautiful traditional bikinis, which are perfect for lounging by the pool."
Thank you Carly :)

Thorsten Heins, the president of smartphone maker BlackBerry, calls it finding the "centre of gravity": figuring out the set of features in a smartphone that will appeal to a brand's core market and making that the centrepiece of the device.
For BlackBerry, which launches a new smartphone system this coming week in Australia, the centre of gravity is all about messaging and social networks.
BlackBerry's new phone, the Z10, and its radically new operating system, known as BlackBerry 10, will be long on email, Twitter, SMS and Facebook integration, but short on other apps, such as Instagram and Spotify, that many consumers have come to expect from a smartphone.
That lack of apps presents itself as the single biggest problem facing BlackBerry, as its new phones, already years late to market, fight to find a place in a market dominated by well-established hardware and software companies such as Samsung, Google and Apple.
But those established players are facing problems of their own, too, and it happens to be quite the reverse of the one facing BlackBerry: having released devices and operating systems that are now so mature they're lacking practically nothing, the phone manufacturers are looking around and wondering "what now?".
Last year, for the first time since 2009, global mobile phone sales declined, by 1.7 per cent to about 1.75 billion devices, according to figures from Gartner Inc.
Double-digit growth now a dream
While smartphone sales are still growing – this year they will account for slightly more than half of all mobile phone sales – the decline in the overall market has served as a timely warning for smartphone makers: the phone market is starting to mature, and double-digit growth can no longer be guaranteed.
In January, Samsung warned that its smartphone business would likely slow this quarter, partly due to increased competition (other Android phone makers such as Huawei, Sony, HTC and LG are starting to catch up to Samsung's feature set) and partly due to consumers holding off purchasing a phone while they wait for Samsung's Galaxy S4 to come out in late April.
Apple suffered a similar slowdown last year, ahead of the launch of the iPhone 5.
The response to the dawning maturation of the phone business, and the answer to the question "what next", has been diversification – moving further away from whatever centre of gravity the phones once had. (Though, arguably, Samsung never really had a centre of gravity with its devices, which have always taken a kitchen-sink approach to features.)
Searching for new smarts
"We've been preparing the watch product for so long," said Lee Young Hee, the executive vice-president in charge of Samsung's mobile phone business.
Apple, too, is said to be working on a smartwatch, though the company has been tight-lipped about just what features the watch will contain.
Getting into watches will only add incremental revenue growth for the companies – the global watch market is worth around $60 billion a year in sales, compared with around $400 billion in phone sales, according to industry figures – but watches are profitable, and, besides, they're something new in an industry that lives and dies by its novelty.

Despite tough 2012, Trafford officials don't expect tax hike
Despite borrowing money this fall to keep borough services active and cover payroll expenses, Trafford Council doesn't intend to raise the property tax rate for 2013.
A budget draft that council will review at a meeting on Dec. 3 at 6:30 p.m. proposes that the tax rate remain at 28.5 mills for the second consecutive year. Council plans to examine each line item before passing a preliminary budget that night.
The vote on a final budget is scheduled for Dec. 18.
"It's been a joint effort with everyone," said Councilwoman Vicki Megon, one of the leaders of the finance committee. "We're very happy to say we're on the right track."
Earlier this month, Council closed on a $2.75 million general-obligation bond to restructure its debts and replenish the general fund for most of the estimated $600,000 in cost overruns for construction and furnishing of the new public safety building.
Because of the public-safety-building cost overruns, finances became so dire that the borough — which had budgeted for a $1.35 million worth of expenditures this year — had less than $4,400 in its general fund leading up to the Nov. 9 payroll. The bond, which was finalized Nov. 8, was used to reimburse Trafford for $382,563 of overruns from July through September.
Another $150,000 worth of contracts approved in June was not eligible for reimbursement because council already spent the proceeds from its former $2 million construction loan, and a statute of limitations prevented Trafford from including the payments in the bond.
As part of the borrowing, council will repay the sewage fund for $82,600 in loans taken in March, August and October.
Mayor Rey Peduzzi credited Megon, Councilman John Daykon and borough administrator Lisa Mallik for getting the town's finances straightened out. Megon and Daykon took over the finances after Council President Rich Laird removed Councilman Frank Bruno as finance chairman in March.
"I think they have been very successful in putting us on very sound footing, and we can move forward," Peduzzi said.

C-P board ready to tackle budget in earnest Tuesday
From Staff Reports
August 3, 2008 - Trustees for Como-Pickton schools will start hammering out the coming year's budget next week.
On Tuesday, the school board will assemble in the C-P High School Library at 6 p.m. for a budget work session.
To aid them in preparations, including the complicated formula Texas officials devised that school districts must follow in order to qualify for state funding, Region 8 Education Service Center consultant Fred Wilkerson will conduct a workshop at the school. Wilkerson also conducted a budget workshop at Como-Pickton during the previous school year, explaining how certain figures and funds are plugged into the "formula," and what the pay-out on the separate budget functions or accounts was expected to be for the 2007-2008 school year. He also showed what funds were used and where they were required to be used where, and for what purposes.
School officials indicate the financial outlook at C-P appears to be improving.
The budget workshop meeting is open to the public.

In Washington before a dinner for Group of 20 finance ministers, Mr Swan said he appreciated Australian families were doing it tough because of surging cost of living pressures and especially electricity prices, but rejected NSW Premier
He also said the global economy was strengthening "but it's very patchy and it's very uneven and I think it's fair to say that there is uncertainty and the risks are on the downside".
Responding to Mr Howes' claim that if one job were put at risk by the carbon tax his union would withdraw its support, Mr Swan said the government had put jobs first since coming to office and that "nothing is more important to jobs in Australia" than making that transition to a lower-carbon economy.
He said the rest of the world was moving towards lower-carbon energy sources and if "we don't make that transition there'll be a threat to our economy because the world is moving to lower-carbon emissions. It's a difficult transition but it's one the government wants to make, working with the community, because our No.1 objective is to support jobs and our future prosperity."
Asked how he could reassure union members in the manufacturing sector concerned about their job security if a carbon tax were imposed, Mr Swan said the introduction of a carbon tax was a "very significant reform" and was important to Australia's "long-term prosperity".
He said the government was always mindful of what it needed to do to support jobs and said every cent raised by the carbon tax would go into compensation for households and trade-exposed industries with whom the government was consulting.
Mr Swan said he supported the government's revived free-trade push but declined twice to say if he supported Trade Minister
"I am not in the business of playing word games," the Treasurer said. "What I am is a supporter of strong trade liberalisation."
On the demand by Mr O'Farrell that the Commonwealth compensate households for the cost of federal green-energy targets, Mr Swan said the main contribution to rising power prices – the cost of new transmission infrastructure – was "entirely within Mr O'Farrell's control".
"He ought to look in his own backyard," Mr Swan said.
The NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal has recommended an 18 per cent increase in electricity prices, attributing 6 percentage points of the increase to the federal government's renewable energy target and 10 percentage points to higher transmission network investment costs.
Mr Swan conceded families were doing it tough because of the surging cost of living pressures and the "substantial increase in electricity prices in Australia in recent years".
He said that was why the government had made it a priority to award families three rounds of tax cuts, an education tax refund, a 50 per cent childcare rebate and other measures.
The Treasurer played down expectations of significant progress at the G20 meeting on ensuring "sustainable strong and balanced growth" by developing guidelines and indicators to warn when major economies were going off-course.
"We have got a bit of work to do on those financial indicators," Mr Swan said. These have been opposed by China, whose trade surplus and undervalued currency has been a bone of contention for the United States and Europe. Mr Swan would not say if he expected China to show more willingness to accept these indicators at the G20 meeting on Friday.
"I am pretty optimistic that we'll work our way through all of the complex issues concerning sustained and balanced growth," he said. "We come to this with goodwill. I am sure they do as well."
He said the finance ministers were just the "gofers" who do the legwork but could not make binding decisions.

Regions: Bologna (1
of 2)
The first major European university was founded
in Bologna in the Middle Ages. Consequently, the city became
a leading center of manuscript production in the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries. One of the greatest Bolognese miniaturists
of this era, whose illuminations were inspired by Byzantine art, is known as the Master of Gerona (active
c. 1260–1300). In his Initial A, which encloses Christ
in Majesty, he lends a forceful, dynamic, physical presence
to the figure of Christ. The crowded
angels bursting from the letter, Christ's crisply modeled
robe and piercing gaze, and the projecting footstool in front
of the sculptural throne all contribute to this quality. The
subject of the text is, in fact, the physical presence of Christ
in the world. The miniature complements a chant
sung on the first Sunday of Advent that begins, "Aspiciens
a longe..." which means, "Behold, from afar
I see the coming power of God."

The process that created Our™ big bang and Our™ universe was not a one time event. It is a process that occurred before Our™ big band, it is a process that continues to occur after Our™ big bang.
"Our" is the brand of the human experience, human perspective, human perception and all that is labeled human discovery.

Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the cosmic. -wikipedia
There is not just one of anything in nature. There are the "first ones" of nature, but never the "just ones" of nature.
Our universe is named and called "Our Universe" because it's the only universe known to us earthlings in the 21st century. And obviously, our big bang is named and called "Our Big Bang" for the same reason.
Nature, by definition, is conceptually a broader term than the word "universe". Should we prove there are other universes, they would also be a part of nature.
So, somewhat ironically, while there isn't just one of anything in nature, there is only one nature, in the broadest sense.
Nature, it's the largest scale.
In The Vertical Theory of Infinity, or just Vertical Theory, infinity extends both outward to the "void above" and inward to the "void below". Otherwise, simplistically stated for the purpose of visual scale mental imaging only, infinity extends further than 10googillion Light Years in an outward or increasing size direction and further than 10-googillion Planck lengths in an inward or decreasing size direction with layered or component structures and with no end.*
* guiding principles: (1) There isn't just one of anything in nature, why would there be just one universe? (2) The anthropocentric bias of science. We are not at the center or middle of any large or small scale picture in nature. (3) In one version of multiverse theory, our universe is just one of billions of unique "bubble" universes within a multiverse. And our multiverse, the one our universe inhabits, is just one multiverse within a next level structure referred to as "super multiverse theory".
Mathematicians at UCLA have discovered a 13 million-digit prime number, a long-sought milestone that makes them eligible for a $100,000 prize. (Sept. 28)

Definition: GooSecond
A GooSecond is one googillionth of a second
Several years ago (2005), I googled the word "googillion" and to my surprise it only returned a couple of hits. So I thought I would have some fun and see what would happen if I promoted the word "googillion" beginning with writing its definition. At that time the definition was:
"A googillion is an astronomer's "largest number possible" synonym for everyday real-world objects that are unknown and unknowable. Example, from string theory, how many strings are there in the universe? The answer is a googillion. Although the real answer is a specific number at any given point in time, the number is both an unknown and unknowable largest number."
And I proceeded to submit it to the online dictionaries, Wikipedia, and other media like Wired magazine. Today there are thousands of google search hits for the word "googillion" coming from many contributors and originators.
Strings are obviously arbitrary, the number could just as easily represent all the sub-atomic particles, and so on.
Moving from the cosmological scale to the quantum scale, we would have a goometer as one googillionth of a meter and a goosecond as one googillionth of a second. Which produces such child-like questions as … "What would I see through a goometric microscope?" Yes I know, it's silly and what about planck length … it's a child's question. And, does anything in the universe happen in less than a goosecond?
Lastly, what would I see if looking at a neutrino through a goometric microscope frozen in a goosecond of time? The answer certainly should be nothing, but then a goometer is a really really long distance and a goosecond is a really really long period of time.

|Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Walkthrough
Next chapter »
« Previous chapter
Gold and Bones is the twenty-first chapter of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
Plot synopsis
Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan move through the deserted catacombs and arrive in an open cavern beneath the graveyard. Gabriel Roman is inspecting the El Dorado statue, which stands beneath a large hole in the ground above. To his right, Atoq Navarro is holding Elena Fisher at gunpoint. As Nate and Sully enter, they are ambushed from behind by two of Navarro's mercenaries. Roman turns to greet them, and orders them to drop their weapons. As they do, Roman tells them he will be "with them momentarily," and turns back to the statue.
As he admires its craftsmanship, Navarro tells him that the real treasure of El Dorado is inside. Roman opens the "statue," which is now revealed to be a sarcophagus. Inside, he finds human remains. Before he can turn to Navarro for an explanation, he falls victim to El Dorado's "curse," an airborne virus that within seconds causes him to lose all reason and become aggressive like the descendants. As he runs to attack Navarro, Navarro shoots him in the head. Navarro orders his men to airlift the statue out of the cavern, and they lower it into a net which is being suspended by a helicopter.
As Nate tries to reason with him, Navarro reveals his true motive: money. Having known about the virus all along, he used Roman's resources to get him to the island. Now, with Roman dead, he plans to sell the virus "to the right buyer." As he leaves the cavern with Elena, the descendants begin to swarm in. Nate and Sully take the opportunity to overpower two of the mercenaries, taking their weapons in the process. Nate sets off after Navarro, while Sully remains in the cavern providing covering fire for him. Nate manages to grab the net that holds the statue beneath the helicopter as it takes off. As they fly off the island, Nate is spotted by a mercenary who radios Navarro on the helicopter. Navarro orders one of his men, Dillon, to shoot Drake. As Dillon fires out through the open door, Elena kicks him out of the helicopter. He continues shooting as he falls, and accidentally hits the pilot, Javier.
With Javier dead, the helicopter plummets toward Navarro's boat. Nate drops off the statue and lands at one end of the boat, while the helicopter crashes at the other, hanging precariously over the edge. With Elena unconscious, Navarro climbs out of the wreck and orders his men to kill Drake.
- Goof: In gameplay, if one goes up to Roman's corpse, his body is positioned differently and there's no blood on his head.

The end of the year is the time when every publication likes to roll out their predictions for next year. Don't worry, Bankrate's 2011 outlook story is on the way.
A survey of 55 economists by the Wall Street Journal has found that most are optimistic about economic growth in the U.S. next year. The survey was released on Monday.
In "Economists predict growth in 2011," writer Phil Izzo reports that the economists predict accelerating growth throughout the year with a rise in gross domestic product of 3 percent.
The economists surveyed were not alone in casting 2011 as a year of booming business.
On Monday, Bloomberg.com also reported some exciting news for investors. A Bloomberg News survey of 11 strategists predicts that the Standard & Poor's 500 index will gain 11 percent next year, according to the story, "No new normal as strategists predict 11 (percent) S&P 500 gain."
Unfortunately, the predicted good times can't last forever, at least according to Peter Brimelow as he writes for Marketwatch.com. In "Huge stock decline -- but not yet," Brimelow reports on the Aden Forecast.
The Aden Forecast is an analytical newsletter compiled by sisters Pamela and Mary Anne Aden for the past 29 years. In agreement with the strategists surveyed by Bloomberg News, the Aden sisters believe that the near term holds good things for the stock market.
Unfortunately, the very long-term trends are bad -- catastrophic even, according to the Adens. The entire past decade could be only a precursor to an apocalyptic decline.
At least next year looks good.

June 4th – Charlottesville, VA. At this point I have been back from Spain & Portugal longer than I was away. Judging by how long it took me to cap off the travel blog, you might say that I took more than enough time to adjust to being back. This is partially true, but I don't want to give the impression I have been sitting around in old glory pajamas, eating hamburgers and listening to a constant loop of Born in the USA. … Continue reading

One of my undergraduate photography professors at the University of Delaware once told me: "Bad weather makes great pictures… now go shoot four rolls in the rain."

Looking back at the months before I left for Spain, I realize now that my itinerary planning was borderline OCD. I have been very well served by the late hours figuring out which sites are most important for my dissertation research, how long I should stay at a given site, where the affordable hotels are etc. I have to give pre-Spain Ed some credit for anticipating some inevitable "Spain being Spain" derailments by penciling in some "cushion time" at the end of this trip. The itinerary has been a strict but benevolent hand guiding me through what would otherwise seem like a Walmart on Black Friday. That said, like a kid who has behaved himself in church for what he thinks has been a very long time, I am about to test if the itinerary is still watching. Portugal was the first test, but that was just the beginning. I am crawling under the pews with action figures in my hands and I can see daylight at the end of the aisle. … Continue reading
I've had more than one Rodney Dangerfield moment on this trip. One that sticks in my mind happened last Thursday when I was hiking around to the back side of the fortress of Montesa. You might think these castles would be built at the highest point within view, but it most cases they are built at the end of a spur that juts out from a larger chain of mountains into a valley below. So as I was climbing around looking for better vantage points to take pictures, I went off the trail quite a bit. As I rounded one corner, I scared up something really big in the brush that bounded almost straight up the side of this cliff. As I blindly shot pictures of whatever was moving I heard an ear-splitting screech at the top of the ridge. I'm not sure why, but as I turned to see the source of the screech I said aloud: "Did that donkey just whistle at me?" … Continue reading
It turns out the best way to get a laugh in Spain is to look a stray dog in the face and ask if he speaks English. I am not sure if I stumbled on an old joke that Catalan tourists tell all the time or if it was because I used the formal "usted." Either way, I envied that dog today. He was scruffy and camera shy, but he had all the San Miguel he could lap up off the cobblestones, and the fact that he didn't own so much as a collar didn't bother him in the slightest. That dog – let's call him "Scruffy" – had never been on the phone with Iberia airlines barking furiously and foaming at the mouth. Scruffy probably has parasites, but he has never had to ask them if they are sure they have the right dog. So as I sat in a plastic chair by the Ebro River today and washed down the midday meal that never happened with my own San Miguel, I at least took solace that mine was served in a glass…. Don't look at me like that Scruffy. … Continue reading
March 1st, 2pm. Barcelona, Spain – As I stood next to belt 15 at the Barcelona airport, I knew I was going through the motions. I was numb, but my jaded condition allowed me to get a head start as I headed to the far end of the airport to let the nice people at Iberia Air know that Continental Airlines lost my 50 lb bag. I have to begin by saying that this first entry will not accurately represent this blog for the rest of my two month trip. I want to follow that by announcing that air travel sucks, and I hate doing it. I have a long track record of either screwing up the process myself, or getting myself caught in the clumsy ill-fitting gears of the great air travel machine. This time, I did the right thing.

Miley Gets Wet & Wild In 'We Can't Stop' Teasers
By JACKIE WILLIS
June 18, 2013
There's only been two snippets released of Miley Cyrus' We Can't Stop music video, and already it's looking a lot like Taylor Swift's 22.
Just like when Swift jumps in the pool at the end of her video, Cyrus, 20, also has a house party that leads to everyone jumping in the pool with their clothes on.
And not unlike 22, We Can't Stop features loads of good-looking young people hanging out in scenic areas of California.
RELATED: Listen to We Can't Stop In Full
The full-length video will be released in two days on June 20.

What do you think of the video teasers? Is this the new 22?

Dog Leg Warmers (Set of 4)
These little leg warmers are absolutely adorable ! I ordered a M for a 5 pound Maltese but unfortunately they are made extremely small and I had to return them
ordered the large but it's tiny for my little Maltese. cute though!
Prissi is a 5 lb. Yorkie. She was a pumpkin for the Vet's Halloween Party. Her outfit was too cute, but the leg warmers were what everyone saw and loved. She wore them without any problem at all. Just a little trouble getting them on. Love them.
These leg warmers are adorable and very well made. The order arrived in a timely manner and in great shape. My only regret is that they were too small for my shih-tzu and the large size was out of stock indefinitely. It was very easy to send them back, though.
Pay attention to size as large is not for a large dog! Large fit my shih tzu! But she loves them!! Fit like a glove. They don't slip and they're well made!
Please make this in more neutral colors. For a dog with long leg fur and is small, going out in morning dew means coming in totally wet. These are better than socks, stay in place and keep my 4 lb dog dry.
My dog chews the fur on her feet so I bought these to deter her. Please look at the dimensions on these because they are very small. My dog is 6 lbs and the large is what fits her. They have good elastic in them and stay up well.
leg warmers are great..
I received the leg warmers in perfect condition, the packing and return envelope and new catalog, were in excellent condition. However, that being said, I order large leg warmers. OMG These must be for a Chihuahua dog. I have a 90 pound boxer and there is no way these would fit his feet. Disappointed in my purchase. I thought large size is for large dogs.
These little legwarmers (in orange/black) were the perfect accent to Alice Ali-gator's SF Giants baseball outfit. Thank you for the prompt service.

It's official: the northern half of New York City's High Line Park is officially complete, and that means a double the length of a park that gives a little taste of the outdoors smack dab in the middle of the urban landscape.
From Jaunted:
Built in the 1930s to transport freight through the warehouses of the west side of Manhattan, the High Line is an elevated rail track that stretches from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District up to West 34th Street. The last train traveled its scenic route in 1980, and since then proposals for its future have included everything from completely disassembling it to turning it into a mile-long lap pool.
Can't check it out for yourself? Here are some photos from opening day that are sure to entice any urban adventurer:

As most of you are already aware by now, the first look at Angelina Jolie's upcoming action thriller "Salt" finally arrived today but for some reason, our readers aren't praising it too much. In fact, it looks like everyone's come to the conclusion that the movie is gonna suck even though it apparently has a very sweet script and Angelina looks like she's kicking plenty of ass in it while looking superbly hot. The trailer does give you the feeling that the movie will be a cross between THE FUGITIVE and WANTED which gets me excited in every way possible to be perfectly honest.
Now while the trailer is pretty generic, I still have high hopes for the flick as Angelina is still a goddess to me and she's always been able to pull-off an awesome action role (she was Lara Croft for f#ck sake!). If you know me well on this site, you know that I love Angie and that I love sexy HD trailer screencaps even more. So I've taken the initiative and captured some gorgeous screencaps of Angelina in the trailer and goddamn does she look amazing. So check out each HD cap below by clicking on the preview thumbnails and enjoy!

James P.wrote a review of Garmont Syner-G Telemark Boot - Men's on March 5, 2010
Great boots.
Feb 2010. We skied into Ostrander Ski Hut in Yosemite (11 miles). Then we skied into the Van Vleck Bunkhouse in the Eldorado Nat Forest (6 miles) breaking trail all the way. The boots are great for getting there and then getting around the backcountry and telemarking when you get there. All around comfortable.

I'm sure these work great, just not for my Yorkie. She doesn't like the noise of the bells so they're not being used. I might return them but that's no reflection on the product just my silly little girl.

Chris Stewart and veteran Jason Arnott netted power-play goals as the St. Louis Blues used a rare surge with the man advantage to skate to a 5-3 home triumph over the Dallas Stars on Monday.
Adam Cracknell netted his first goal of the season and Evgeny Grachev's first career NHL tally stood up as the winner for St. Louis, which improved to 7-1-1 in its last nine games overall and 14-3-1 at Scottrade Center.
Entering the day with the NHL's 30th-ranked power play (10.3 percent), St. Louis converted on its first two opportunities with the man advantage.
Stewart skated up the wing and wristed a sharp-angle shot which squeezed under rookie Richard Bachman's arm and inside the right post at 8:24 of the first period.
After Mike Ribeiro leveled the contest at 4:22 of the second period with a sharp-angle shot, Cracknell regained the lead just 1:47 later. Cracknell took advantage of a turnover and wristed a shot from the right faceoff circle which handcuffed Bachman.
Arnott doubled the advantage by blasting a shot from beyond the left faceoff circle which sailed past Bachman with 1.1 seconds left in the middle session.
Michael Ryder scored for the fifth straight game and Eric Nystrom netted his career-high 12th goal of the season for Dallas, but Stewart capped the scoring with an empty-net tally.

Sierra Commons is a business incubator, known for offering education and support to ignite new business in Nevada County.
The workshop focuses on Fail Proof Hiring — a timely subject considering the number of applicants far outnumbers the number of available jobs. Employers can benefit from this workshop and Ruth's newest program. This program asks the following questions:
Is too much of your time spent managing your employees? Are you frustrated with unmotivated employees? Have you had some bad hires in the past?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then the owners/managers will want to attend and in three hours learn the tools and techniques to hire well and walk away ready to put the right people in the right jobs.
The workshop is $35 each to attend.
Anyone interested in attending the workshops should RSVP to http://www.highperformanceadvocates.com/sign-up-workshops/ or call (530) 288-0180.

George Monbiot (This government has been the most rightwing since the second world war, May 20) starkly illustrates the problem voters have: how many good policies does a party have to have for you to be able to ignore the bad? Polly Toynbee (The dam's burst. Now voters just want to wallop Labour, May 20) identifies the 10p tax issue almost as a tipping point. No doubt Gordon Brown feels this is unfair, given his help for low-paid people, but New Labour seems to have taken for granted that its "natural" supporters will stick by it despite its wide range of Thatcherite policies. While the Conservatives might offer alternatives that appear attractive, they would be different in government - people who were ministers or advisers under Thatcher and Major are unlikely to really have changed that much. This seems like an opportunity for the Lib-Dems, but they have a poor record of taking advantage of such chances. I suspect that many Labour supporters who are tired of New Labour will either not bother voting in a general election or be attracted by David Cameron as Blair-lite. As a long-term Labour voter, I find all this really depressing.
Roy Kettle
Hitchin, Hertfordshire
Surely, I think, New Labour cannot dig their grave any deeper? I then read that schools are going to be encouraged to set up army cadet corps and an "armed forces day" is to be established, perhaps as a public holiday (Discrimination against military to be outlawed, May 20). Even the awful Thatcher/Major regime would have seen this as in bad taste, worthy only of a crumbling third-world government with authoritarian leanings.
Bill Major
The ideological and probable electoral disintegration of New Labour reminds me of the portrayal of Hitler in his bunker during the dying moments of the Nazi regime in the film Downfall. Unable to admit to themselves that the New Labour experiment is over, its ministers resort to even more desperate and delusional policies such as the expansion of cadet forces in schools while trying to set in stone the policies that got them into this position, for example the selling off of the NHS to the private sector (polyclinics).
Dr Raoul Bianchi
New Labour's capitulation on inheritance tax, its aversion to nationalising Northern Rock and the symbolism of the abolition of the 10p tax rate as a means of cutting tax for the better-off were simply the final straws. The rot set in with the Iraq war, but it has always been present in the logic of triangulation. Toynbee's plaintive cries of "Why aren't the voters more grateful?" and blaming of external forces do not constitute a counterargument to the growing suspicion that New Labour has destroyed everything that made the Labour party worth voting for.
D Cameron
George Monbiot stirs the pot of gloom and cynicism, a traditional recipe of the right to undermine confidence in collective state action and promote individualism. Like much of the media he is obsessed with picking holes where he can and has no interest in the positive impact of social policy or public investment, where the government has a progressive record. Meanwhile Clegg and Cameron are making ominous noises about cutting taxes, for which read cutting public services. Time to take a closer look, George.
Nye Harries
A consensus on climate change (The war to end all wars, May 20) cannot emerge as long as we have to deny what other parties have done. While the dash for gas was market-driven, it accounted for the best part of Labour's claim to be able to meet our Kyoto commitments. But it happened under a Conservative watch, so we cannot acknowledge it nor learn from it. Now, in the Crewe byelection, the Tories are trying make hay out of our commitment to tax gas guzzlers. Pure cynicism. In a competitive democracy, the narcissism of small differences takes home the prize. Only extra-parliamentary activity is likely to restore some backbone in a democracy which has fallen prey to mere displacement activity.

text: On October 11–12, hundreds of shapers, surfers, and surfboard enthusiasts gathered in Del Mar, California for the second annual Sacred Craft surfboard show. It's like ASR or Surf Expo, except it's only surf hardgoods and instead of retailers making the rounds it's the public—although there were a few retailer spottings for sure. Aside from booths full of boards there were shaping seminars, live shaping booths, and videos playing in a tent outside the venue. All-in-all it was a pretty cool event. It only cost $5 to get in the door, but it cost $9 to park—which is kind of lame—but the general consensus from vendors was positive. Most board builders said being able to interact with consumers on a one-on-one basis, share their brand messages directly to the public, and show their latest-and-greatest to a captive audience was worth the money to exhibit.

There are a lot of people eating gluten-free nowadays, and I thought it would be nice to share a site that was devoted to sharing awesome gluten-free recipes now that the holiday season is firmly upon us.
I'm a big believer in the adage that you eat with your eyes first, and so it was important to me to find a site that has luscious pictures to go with the recipes. Simply Gluten-Free's images are just that – luscious. Just scroll down and take a gander at the bevy of images that await you for each category featured on the main page. You'll be hungry in two seconds flat, I sure was!
This site really celebrates eating and living gluten-free. I love that it feels like a celebration! You'll find navigation along the top of the page. You'll find the featured categories if you scroll down the page: Quick & Easy, Balanced Budget, Figure Friendly, Entertaining, Appetizers, Main Dishes, Side Dishes, Salad & Dressings, Cupcakes, Cookies &Candies, etc.
A great section to check out from the menu at the top of the page is New to GF? In that section you can learn all about what gluten is, why some people need to avoid it at all costs, what you can find it in, and discovering all the delicious things they can still eat!

Heat sinking ICs
I plan on using a couple of L293E ICs for motor drivers. Everything I've read suggests heat sinking, and I can understand why, with all that current going though a little IC circuit. But how do you heat sink a DIP IC?
I have many guesses. On top? Sounds wrong. Plus the L293 documentation notes that there are 4 ground pins in the center (pins 5, 6, 15, and 16 in a 20 pin package) for heat sinking purposes. Where exactly do you put the heat sink and how is it attached?
i looked up the datasheet for the L293E here:
on the first page it says 'use the four center pins to conduct heat to the printed circuit board' :P
this type of IC isnt designed for heatsinks, and instead uses the pins to get rid of heat

Academy Blvd. Project Begins Next Week
A Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) project to upgrade Academy Boulevard (State Highway 83) between SH 115 and the Hancock Expressway started Monday, July 28th. Improvements include rotomilling and asphalt paving, and new guardrail, bridgerail and striping.
Work house are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some overnight work also is scheduled, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday.
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane intermittently - northbound or southbound - throughout most segments of the 4.3-mile project. At the south end of the project, near SH 115, flaggers will alternate one lane of traffic through the work zone. Delays are expected! A reduced 40 mph speed limit will be enforced and state troopers will assist with traffic control.
The project is scheduled for completion by the end of October.

They cheered and clapped as Sordi's coffin arrived for the funeral at the Basilica of San Giovanni Laterano in Rome.
The crowd watched the funeral service on big screens erected outside the cathedral.
Millions more followed the ceremony as it was broadcast live on state television.
"When a loved one dies, a mass of memories and emotions crowd the minds of those who stay behind," said Cardinal Camillo Ruini in his funeral oration.
"Since Alberto Sordi has died, this has happened to an entire city, an entire country."
The crowd outside clapped and nodded as he spoke. Overhead, a small plane crossed over the basilica trailing a banner that read: "This time you've made us cry."
Chants of "Alberto" echoed around the square as policemen acting as pallbearers carried Sordi's coffin out after the service.
Tens of thousands of fans had queued to file silently past Sordi's open coffin ahead of the funeral as he lay in state in Rome's town hall, the Campidoglio.
Sordi died of a heart attack on Monday night in his Rome house. He was 82.
The actor's death unleashed a wave of emotion not seen in Italy for years.
As soon as his death was announced Italian state TV RAI started broadcasting his films, announcing several days of blanket coverage of his main works.
Simple approach
Sordi was the last survivor of the golden era of Italian cinema and starred in some 150 films in a career which spanned 60 years.
Along with fellow Italian screen legends Vittorio Gasmann and Marcello Mastroianni, he created the genre of the Commedia all'Italiana (Italian-style comedy).
Sordi played the archetypal Italian struggling against diversity, comically dissecting the weaknesses of his countrymen - one of his films was called An Average Little Man.
"I adopt a very simple approach," he said. "I observe and reflect real life and ordinary people and sooner or later that raises a laugh."
However, he also won critical acclaim for moving performances in some of the greatest Italian films such as Mario Monicelli's The Great War.

Custom Shields for Coat of Arms and Family Crest
Since man has been
identifying himself for centuries with various symbols, this can be seen simply
as an evolutionary step of tribal identification which we seem to need as a
people. To create your own family crest should reflect what your family
represents now. Are there certain qualities that you honor, such as integrity,
patience or courage? What symbols represent those to you? Do you want to go for
a more traditional look or do you have your own design in your mind's eye when
you think of those qualities? Do you associate your family's name with a certain
animal or architectural structure such as a castle with its wall of protection?
A modern day Family Crest can be anything that you wish to inspire your own
family towards a more noble life. Do you aspire to your own shield? Perhaps you
have returned from active combat and wish to immortalize an act of bravery for
your family to draw motivation for the next few generations. The ideas are as
plentiful now as they were back in the times of the noble knights and ladies of
an age that reveled in displays of pageantry and boldness of grand deeds.
Medieval shields simply give us the messages from the past, the reminders of valor and historical records of events and people. Family crests give us the present and hope for future generations. Whether you wish to recreate a Coat of Arms passed down through your family on a shield, or simply wish to own a part of the past or create a modern Family Crest, swordsandarmor.com has a resource now available to meet your requirements.

Eastern Michigan University to honor seven outstanding alumni May 8
YPSILANTI - Seven outstanding alumni will be honored at Eastern Michigan University's 43 rd Annual Alumni Awards Dinner, Saturday, May 8, at the Ypsilanti Marriott. A cocktail reception begins at 6 p.m., followed by dinner and the awards ceremony at 7 p.m.
"The annual Alumni Awards Dinner is our showcase event," said Vicki Reaume, director of alumni relations. "This wonderful event began more than 42 years ago and this year we continue the special tradition and induct a very distinguished group."
Those being honored are:
• Neeta Delaney ('85), a community development consultant for the Enterprise Group of Jackson and an executive with the Office of Governor Jennifer Granholm, will receive the Alumni Achievement Award. This award is given to alumni who have achieved distinction in their chosen field; clearly demonstrated the value of their college education; and maintained a continuing interest in Eastern Michigan University. After graduating in 1985 with her master's degree in arts administration, Delaney made many contributions to EMU. She was founder and director of SUMMERQUEST, a program that offers in-residence, intensive learning adventures for high school students; was director of marketing and program associate for EMU Corporate Services; and was assistant acting dean for continuing education. She is a resident of Grass Lake, Mich.
• Daniel Minzey ('97, '98), sheriff of Washtenaw County, will receive the Distinguished Young Alumni Award. This award is presented to alumni who have demonstrated the worth of their education through their post-college achievements. Since he was elected sheriff in 2001, Minzey has brought jail staffing levels to full strength; integrated modern technology, including live scan fingerprinting; and equipped every patrol car with radar and video cameras. Minzey is involved in volunteer and community service work for several agencies, including the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, United Way and Washtenaw Area Council for Children. He is a resident of Chelsea, Mich.
• Dennis Cockrum ('77, '84), a professional actor; and John Herron ('41), retired corporate vice president of Aramark and retired captain of the U.S. Navy, also will receive Distinguished Alumni Awards. This award is given to alumni who have achieved extraordinary distinction in their chosen field; demonstrated unusual service to humankind; and maintained a continuing interest in Eastern Michigan University. Cockrum's contributions to the University include coaching the forensics team; coordinating fundraisers for the department of communication and theatre arts; and directing plays for theatre arts. His movie credits include: "Uncle Buck," "The Glimmer Man," "Murder By Numbers" and "Daddy Day Care." He also has appeared on television shows such as "Frasier," "NYPD Blue" and "JAG." He is a resident of Van Nuys, Calif.
After graduating with a bachelor's of business education in 1941, Herron volunteered for navy duty following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He began working in food services but over time was promoted to captain and was responsible for supplies and logistics on navy ships. After retiring from the navy, he climbed the ladder to become president of Aramark's Hospital Food Management Division and later corporate vice president. He is a resident of Dearborn, Mich.
• Robert England , director of Eastern Michigan University's recreation/intramural (Rec/IM) complex; Donald Shelton, a Washtenaw County judge and EMU Regent Emeritus; and Barbara Weiss ('50, '69), a retired teacher for Ypsilanti Public Schools, will receive the John W. Porter Distinguished Service Award. This award is presented to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to EMU or its alumni association.
England has been the director of EMU's Rec/IM since 1968. With the opening of the new complex in 1982, he became one of few directors who has had the opportunity to be involved in the process of planning, opening and managing a new facility. At its inception, EMU's Rec/IM was a leader in many aspects, including aerobic studios, walk-in sporting goods store, food operations and business style operations. England is a resident of Ypsilanti, Mich.
Shelton, a circuit judge since 1990, is now the presiding judge of Washtenaw County Trial Court's Civil/Criminal Division. He has a distinguished record of public service, including serving on the EMU Board of Regents; serving as mayor of Saline; and chairing the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments. Shelton and his wife established the Donald E. Shelton Wrestling Endowed Scholarship, and are members of the Silver and Heritage Societies. Members of the societies provide significant lifelong financial support to the University. He is a resident of Saline, Mich.
After the closure of EMU's Pease Auditorium in 1990, Weiss formed "Friends of Pease," a group of alumni dedicated to securing funds for its re-opening. After years of dedicating her life to raising interest and money for the restoration of Pease, her goal was realized in 1995 when the auditorium re-opened. Weiss is on the College of Arts and Sciences Resource Development Board, and was named "Woman of the Year" by the Women of Washtenaw County organization in honor of her many long-standing charitable contributions and community-building activities. She is a resident of Ypsilanti, Mich.

Whether the bullies, the hard-boiled and the ruthless among us are happy and well balanced people is not my main interest right now.
What concerns me is that such people do often appear to 'get on in the world'.
This forces me to consider the astonishing reversal of values both taught and lived by Jesus Christ and ask do his values still have relevance today?
Repeatedly Jesus told his followers: "Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
Jesus was nailed to a wooden cross and died. Then, there was another reversal. Jesus rose from the dead which is what we celebrate at Easter. That changed everything. Since that day his followers have been enabled to glimpse the deepest level of reality that can be known on this earth.
They possess the simple truth that the greatest thing we can do is spend our lives serving others rather than ourselves.

A Raman spectroscopic study of the different vanadate-groups in solid-state compounds, model case : mineral phases vésigniéite, BaCu3(VO4)2(OH)2, and volborthite, Cu3V2O7(OH)2•2H2O
Frost, Ray L., Palmer, Sara J., Cejka, Jiri, Sejkora, Jiri, Plasil, Jakub, Bahfenne, Silmarilly, & Keeffe, Eloise C. (2011) A Raman spectroscopic study of the different vanadate-groups in solid-state compounds, model case : mineral phases vésigniéite, BaCu3(VO4)2(OH)2, and volborthite, Cu3V2O7(OH)2•2H2O. Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 42(8), pp. 1701-1710.
Accepted Version
(PDF 508kB)
Raman spectroscopy has been used to study vanadates in the solid state. The molecular structure of the vanadate minerals vésigniéite [BaCu3(VO4)2(OH)2] and volborthite [Cu3V2O7(OH)2·2H2O] have been studied by Raman spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The spectra are related to the structure of the two minerals. The Raman spectrum of vésigniéite is characterized by two intense bands at 821 and 856 cm−1 assigned to ν1 (VO4)3− symmetric stretching modes. A series of infrared bands at 755, 787 and 899 cm−1 are assigned to the ν3 (VO4)3− antisymmetric stretching vibrational mode. Raman bands at 307 and 332 cm−1 and at 466 and 511 cm−1 are assigned to the ν2 and ν4 (VO4)3− bending modes. The Raman spectrum of volborthite is characterized by the strong band at 888 cm−1, assigned to the ν1 (VO3) symmetric stretching vibrations. Raman bands at 858 and 749 cm−1 are assigned to the ν3 (VO3) antisymmetric stretching vibrations; those at 814 cm−1 to the ν3 (VOV) antisymmetric vibrations; that at 508 cm−1 to the ν1 (VOV) symmetric stretching vibration and those at 442 and 476 cm−1 and 347 and 308 cm−1 to the ν4 (VO3) and ν2 (VO3) bending vibrations, respectively. The spectra of vésigniéite and volborthite are similar, especially in the region of skeletal vibrations, even though their crystal structures differ.

Georgia Hwy. Patrol officer talks about new "slow-poke" law
July 1, 2014 -
Starting today, "slow-poke" drivers in the left may get a ticket if they don't move over for faster traffic behind them. Here's more from the EffinghamCounty Sheriff's Office, which says it will begin enforcing Georgia's the new law immediately:
"Georgia law requires drivers in the left lane of a four lane highway or interstate to merge to the right lane when faster traffic approaches from behind.
This law is intended to reduce traffic congestion, as well as cut down on confrontations and road rage.
The law leaves several provisions where drivers can remain in the left lane:
(1) When traffic conditions or congestion make it necessary to drive in the passing lane;
(2) When inclement weather, obstructions, or hazards make it necessary to drive in the passing lane;
(3) When compliance with a law of this state or with an official traffic control device makes it necessary to drive in the passing lane;
(4) When a vehicle must be driven in the passing lane to exit or turn left;
(5) On toll highways, when necessary to pay a toll or use a pass;
(6) To authorized emergency vehicles engaged in official duties; or
(7) To vehicles engaged in highway maintenance and construction operations.
Drivers will face a misdemeanor if they're ticketed.

My Foolish Heart Lyrics by Gordon Jenkins
Gordon Jenkins Lyrics
My Foolish Heart Lyrics
The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fasination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When your lost in the magic of a kiss
Her lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fasination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart

Washington DC (SPX) Jul 18, 2011
For the first time, all species of scombrids (tunas, bonitos, mackerels and Spanish mackerels) and billfishes (swordfish and marlins) have been assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Of the 61 known species, seven are classified in a threatened category, being at serious risk of extinction. Four species are listed as Near Threatened and nearly two-thirds have been placed in the Least Concern category.
The results show that the situation is particularly serious for tunas. Five of the eight species of tuna are in the threatened or Near Threatened IUCN Red List Categories. These include: Southern Bluefin (Thunnus maccoyii), Critically Endangered; Atlantic Bluefin (T. thynnus), Endangered; Bigeye (T. obesus), Vulnerable; Yellowfin (T. albacares), Near Threatened; and Albacore (T. alalunga), Near Threatened.
This new information will be invaluable in helping governments make decisions which will safeguard the future of these species, many of which are of extremely high economic value, and is a timely input for the 3rd Joint Meeting of the Tuna RFMOs (Regional Fisheries Management Organizations) being held in La Jolla, California, July 11-15.
"This is the first time that fishery scientists, ichthyologists and conservationists have come together to jointly produce an assessment of the threats facing a commercially important group of fishes," says Dr Bruce B. Collette, Chair of the IUCN Species Survival Commission's (SSC) Tuna and Billfish Specialist Group, Senior Scientist of the U.S National Marine Fisheries Service, and lead author of the paper.
There is growing concern that in spite of the healthy status of several epipelagic fish stocks (those living near the surface), some scombrid and billfish species are being heavily overfished, and there is a lack of resolve to protect against overexploitation driven by high prices.
Many populations are exploited by multinational fisheries whose regulation, from a political perspective, is exceedingly difficult.
"All three bluefin tuna species are susceptible to collapse under continued excessive fishing pressure. The Southern Bluefin has already essentially crashed, with little hope of recovery," says Dr Kent Carpenter, Professor at Old Dominion University, manager of IUCN's Marine Biodiversity Unit and an author of the paper.
"If no changes are made to current fishing practices, the western Atlantic Bluefin stocks are at risk of collapse as they are showing little sign that the population is rebuilding following a significant reduction in the 1970s."
Three species of billfishes are in threatened or Near Threatened categories: Blue Marlin (Makaira nigricans), Vulnerable; White Marlin (Kajikia albida), Vulnerable; and Striped Marlin (Kajikia audax), Near Threatened.
Most of the long-lived economically valuable species are considered threatened. They mature later than short-lived species and their reproductive turnover is longer, and as such recovery from population declines takes more time.
As these scombrids and billfishes are at the top of the pelagic food web, population reductions of these predators may cause significant negative effects on other species that are critical to the balance of the marine ecosystem and that are economically important as a source of food.
The future of threatened scombrids and billfishes rests on the ability of RFMOs and fishing nations to properly manage these species. Southern and Atlantic Bluefin populations have been so reduced that the most efficient way to avoid collapse is to shut down the fisheries until stocks are rebuilt to healthy levels.
However, this would cause substantial economic hardship and hinder the ability of RFMOs to control fishing because of the increased incentive for illegal fishing that would be created under these circumstances.
"Temporarily shutting down tuna fisheries would only be a part of a much needed recovery programme. In order to prevent illegal fishing, strong deterrents need to be implemented," says Jean-Christophe Vie, Deputy Director, IUCN's Global Species Programme.
"This new study shows that there is an urgent need for effective management. Scientific findings should not be discarded in order to maintain short-term profit. Marine life and jobs for future generations are both at stake."
The recovery of fish stocks is possible through reducing fishing-induced mortality rates to well below the maximum sustainable yield (MSY), as shown in the case of the highly valued eastern population of the Atlantic Bluefin.
Recently exploited at three times the MSY, a decrease in the total allowable catch and stricter monitoring and compliance measures have led to recent catch reductions of almost 75% over the past few years. This will enable the species to recover to sustainable levels as long as the current fishing controls are maintained.

Ports Withstand Late Rally For 8-7 Win
By Stockton Ports | June 8, 2013 6:21 PM ET
STOCKTON, Calif. - Entering Saturday night's ballgame, both the Stockton Ports and Modesto Nuts had blown leads to lose one of the first two games of their four-game series at Banner Island Ballpark. Tonight, the Ports nearly saw a four-run lead in the ninth evaporate as the Nuts scored three runs, but ultimately fell short of another comeback as Stockton hung on for an 8-7 win.
After falling behind 1-0 in the top of the second, the Ports used their first hit of the ballgame to plate three runs. After Nuts starter Ben Alsup (3-7) walked two batters in the bottom of the second, Dusty Robinson came to the plate and delivered a three-run homer to left that gave the Ports a 3-1 lead.
The Ports added to their lead in the third as Addison Russell doubled and Max Muncy singled to right to drive him in and make it 4-1.
Stockton starter James Simmons (3-1) kept Modesto out of the run column in the third and fourth innings. In the fifth, however, Simmons yielded three straight hits with two outs, a single to Brian Humphries, an RBI triple to Taylor Featherston and an RBI single to Ryan Casteel that brought the Nuts to within a run at 4-3.
Simmons pitched around an error that started the sixth and completed the sixth inning with the lead intact, going on to earn the win after allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits while striking out six.
The Ports widened their lead in the seventh. With two outs and the bases empty, Muncy singled off Nuts reliever Kraig Sitton to chase him from the game after an inning-and-two-thirds. Nelson Gonzalez came on from the bullpen and gave up an RBI double to Tony Thompson, followed by a two-run homer to Antonio Lamas that brought the Ports lead to 7-3.
Modesto got a run back in the eighth on a leadoff home run by Casteel off Ports reliever Jake Brown to make it a 7-4 game. It was the only run Brown allowed in 1.1 innings of relief.
Seth Frankoff came into the game in the eighth with a runner at first and finished the inning with a groundout and a strikeout of Juan Crousset.
Stockton plated what proved to be a valuable insurance run in the eighth. With the bases loaded and one out, Thompson drove in a run with a sac-fly to left field to make it an 8-4 lead.
Frankoff came out to start the ninth and try to complete the save. Pinch-hitter Jared Simon doubled to left to start the inning and Frankoff walked Kyle Von Tungeln to put two aboard. After Humphries hit into a fielder's choice, Featherston hit a three-run homer to left that brought the Nuts to within a run at 8-7.
Jonathan Joseph (SV, 5) was brought in from the bullpen and was greeted with a fly ball to deep left-center off the bat of Casteel. Myrio Richard, Stockton's center fielder, made a tremendous leaping catch at the wall for the second out. Joseph went on to strike out Tyler Massey to end the ballgame and record his third save of the homestand.
The Ports and Nuts will wrap up their four-game set on Sunday afternoon at Banner Island Ballpark. Left-hander Shaeffer Hall (1-0, 1.64 ERA) takes the mound for Stockton, opposed by Modesto right-hander Eddie Butler (1-1, 3.71 ERA). First pitch is set for 2:09 p.m. PDT.
