The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen had logged a lot of innings—38.2 of them since June 25—so a solid outing from a starter would be like an early Independence Day gift.
Kyle Lohse provided that relief for the relievers, working eight innings of four-hit ball as the Brewers won their second in a row Wednesday night, 4-1 over the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park.
Lohse (4-6) walked just one batter and had seven strikeouts. The only blemish was a seventh inning solo home run by Anthony Rendon. Lohse threw 103 pitches, 71 of them for strikes.
Francisco Rodriguez worked around a walk and a single in the ninth to earn his seventh save.
Ross Detwiler of the Nationals matched zeroes with until the fifth, when Milwaukee led off the frame with a double to left-center field by Sean Halton and Logan Schafer reached on a bunt single to push Halton to third. After a Lohse sacrifice moved Schafer up to second, Norichika Aoki rifled a single up the middle to score both runners and give the Crew a 2-0 lead.
The Brewers added two more in the sixth. After Bryce Harper botched Aramis Ramirez's liner to left field for an error, Jonathan Lucroy singled up the middle to put two men on. Two outs later, Schafer crushed a Detwiler offering into the gap in right-center field, scoring Ramirez and Lucroy with a stand-up triple. The unearned tallies gave the Brewers a 4-0 lead.
Milwaukee cost themselves a run in the eighth, however, with some terrible base running. With Ramirez on third and Rickie Weeks at first with one out, Halton smashed a long fly to the warning track in center field.
That's where the comedy of errors began. Weeks, thinking there were already two outs, took off like a shot on contact. Ramirez, meanwhile, tagged up and ambled slowly toward the plate. Span's long throw bounced to first base to double off Weeks before the leisurely paced Ramirez could reach home plate.
Rodriguez came on to work the bottom of the ninth and made it interesting, needing 22 pitches to get out of the frame. After fanning Harper to start the inning, Ryan Zimmerman grounded a single to right field and took second on defensive indifference. Rodriguez struck out Adam LaRoche on a high fastball, then walked Ian Desmond to bring the tying run to the plate.
Rendon, who had homered earlier, hit a fly to reasonably deep center field, but Carlos Gomez was able to track it down to end it.
Lohse lived in the air throughout his eight innings of work, getting 16 outs on fly balls. Gomez made a couple of highlight-reel catches on Harper drives, going back to the wall to track down a Harper drive in the first inning and running down a liner into the gap to rob the 2012 Rookie of the Year of extra bases with a leaping grab in the fourth.
Harper returned the favor in the fifth, tracking down a long drive by Gomez to left field to take away extra bases.
After surrendering 10 runs in the series opener on Monday night, Brewer pitching has surrendered just one run in the last two games—both victories.
It's the Brewers' first back-to-back wins since June 21-22 over the Atlanta Braves at Miller Park.
The series in D.C. concludes with a rare Thursday morning game—first pitch is set for 11:05 a.m. Eastern Daylight Times. Donovan Hand (0-1) will start for the Crew and Taylor Jordan (0-1) takes the ball for the Nationals. Milwaukee returns home to start a six-game home stand on Friday when the New York Mets come to Miller Park.Tags: Anthony Rendon, Kyle Lohse, Logan Schafer, Milwaukee, Milwaukee Brewers, MLB, Norichika Aoki, Washington Nationals

NFA Firearms
There seem to be a lot of questions related to the National Firearms Act lately, so I thought it would make sense to dedicate a thread for questions and sharing resources.
Some resources that I used while researching the creation of an NFA Trust and filling out the associated paperwork:
Great thread...
I just ordered my first NFA item yesterday... Silencerco SS Sparrow. I used the trust method and it was an easier paperwork process then buying a regulated gun. My dealer did everything for me basically and made it a very painless process.
I also got my trust last week from this site
They had it to me in under 48 hours. Answered any questions I had very quickly. Included a letter to take to the bank with me for setting up a checking account. And it was only $149...he makes them all state specific also. I am happy with the outcome and I guess I'll find out shortly(well really focken months) whether the ATF agrees ha.
Can somebody explain maybe briefly the difference between all the forms...
ie form 1, 2 , 4 etc.. I will google them all, but I'm sure other people might have the same question too.
Great idea. I'll contribute in a few hours.
ATF F 5320.1 (Form 1) Application to make and Register a Firearm
ATF F 5320.2 (Form 2) Notice of Firearms Manufactured or Imported
ATF F 5320.3 (Form 3) Application for Tax-Exempt Transfer of Firearm and Registration to Special Occupational Taxpayer (National Firearms Act)
ATF F 5320.4 (Form 4) Application For Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of Firearm
5330.20 (Certification of Compliance)
5320.20 (Application for Transport)
So if I want to go from MD to VA to shoot at a range and bring my suppressor. I have to fill out a 5320.20 form way ahead of time and wait to hear back from the ATF?
Yes, a silencer does not need 5320. If you ever get something like a SBR that does require it make sure to submit it way in advance, it usually only takes a couple weeks but from time to time it takes much longer. Ususally around the creek every year you hear about guys who could not bring there toys because they had not been approved yet.
Sometimes they will reject it if you dont have a address so "to the range" does not cut it.
Your really going to like that can, CCI standards work best with it. I am assuming you know about the sub/super sonic ammo?
About that trust.... not all trusts are the same. Make SURE it has wording in it stating who in the trust can possess the NFA items. Trusts can and have been approved but later found not to be valid, then you loose your stuff. If your trust does not state that you can possess your silencer you cant legally have access to it even though its your trust. Standard trusts do not need this type of wording so free/cheap web sites do not include it in the trusts. Double check yours just to make sure your OK, if your not correct it and contact them to let them know of the correction before it gets rejected and delays you even longer.
There's a reasion why NFA lawyers charge 600-800 for a proper nfa trust.
NFA devices map by state.
*Always check current state laws!
If anybody wants to see the trust I'll edit out my name and send it to you.
I'm going To start stock piling subsonic .22 ammo...got a few thousand rounds of mini mags to blast off still. Where in va do you live? Near md\dc at all?
I'm probably 4 hours(?) from DC. I live near VA tech.
I'm at the range near tech (pandapus) just about every weekend so feel free to PM me later if you ever want to come down and try out some stuff. I've got 2 MG's and 2 silencers on the way right now. Bring your own ammo and you can blast what ever I own.
This process is foreign to me. So can any lawyer write up a trust for you? If so, I will have my sister-in-law do it for me.
The trust you will be setting up will be a One Party Revocable Living Trust. You just change some wording to accommodate the guns. I did my own using software I bought, and it has passed muster with the ATF. Still, at some point in the future I'm going to have it professionally re-done by guntrustlawyer.com.
Going next week to order a new lower from a local store. They manufacturer the lowers, so I'm going to have them register it as an SBR so I won't have to have it engraved.. GF Is going with for me :) :excited:
Just to make sure, my form 4s that I filled out with the dealer will be shipped back to the dealer when approved, right? Not to my address?

CEP Fleurus vs. Bent Schoenen Waregem 84-70
Due to injury, Waregem's Jorn Steinbach and Steve Robeyst missed the game. CEP's Polish player Tomek Rozewicz started strongly in the paint (11 points and 15 rebounds in this game). Despite two very good quarters by the visitors of BS Waregem, CEP Fleurus kept the lead at the half (39-35). In the third quarter, Waregem's experienced players Wouter De Wilde (205-F-76, agency: Agency No 10) and Bart Cleymans (195-G/F-74) suddenly tried to spoil the game and influence the referees. Strange attitude also by former Belgian Lion Erik Cleymans who was present at Bonsecours to support his brother Bart: through the whole game, he kept criticizing and shouting at the referees from the stands. Very nervous and frustrated, Wouter Dewilde kicked water bottles on the sideline after being sent out from the game. Much more positive was the talent and the gentleman's attitude showed by young Waregem's players Sander De Leersnyder, Arne Steinbach and Bram Raes as well as the nice fighting spirit by their 32-year-old guard Fred Van Vooren. The CEP men of Coach Bastianini remained calm and their showman Sam Semijejero (196-F/C-77) as well as the fast playing trio Stephen Stephen Tison (176-G-84), Ludo Pourtoit (182-G-88) and Amaury Jadin (189-G-86) led the home team to a crucial win.

Brian Heinle (206-C-78, agency: Court Side, college: Cal.St. Northridge) will play for Zwevezele until the end of the season.
Bye: Royal Alsec Nivelles
D1 Standings
With the derby game between CSKA and Levski finished the first quarter of the regular season in National Basketball League. The 'Blues' won 90-76 despite playing without Vasko Evtimov and not showing good play at all.
There was a derby but only on paper as it wasn't like the games from years back. Levski was in front for most of the game and despite the attempts of CSKA's players for something more in the game the boys of Titi Papazov recorded their 5th win and will be third in the standings with the same record as Spartak Pleven, 5 wins and 2 losses. Lukoil Academic is at the top with 6 and 1.
After this round all teams have played 7 games and after the three top teams are following Euroins Cherno More and Rilski Sportist with 4 wins and 3 losses, Yambol and CSKA with 2 and 5 and Sliven with no wins.
With Evtimov out, Stefan Georgiev (206-C/F-78, agency: Interperformances) played his best game of the season and finished with 21 points and 13 rebounds despite playing only 24 minutes.
His brother Zlatin Georgiev scored 12 points for second straight game and added also 6 rebounds and 2 steals.
Marcus Hall added his regular points, today 16, but again finished with highest number of turnovers - 6.
'The Blue' players showed good shooting from outside - 11 from 25 for 44 % but went only 7 times to the free throw line with 5 successfull attempts.
Very good game for CSKA had Krum Doychinov who scored his highest for the season 21 points. He added also 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Milos Sakota added 18 points while Nikos Bohoridis finished with 15.
Next friday will start the second quarter of games from the regular season when Lukoil Academic will host Sliven, Yambol - Levski and CSKA - Euroins Cherno More.
The 'geniuses' of eurobasket.com, as they were characterized by Keravnosbc.com, have clearly predicted two days ago, that Keravnos would have won this game. Keravnos could not afford to lose, as this would mean the end of the season.
Teams had 2 quarters each, with AEL getting the 1st and the 4th, and Keravnos the 2nd and the 3rd. AEL got off on a strong start and was ahead on the score in the 1st quarter by 3 (16-19). At the 2nd quarter, and specifically on the 13, Alekxandar Radojevic was sent on the bench for getting a technical (said something to the referees) allowing its opponent to partying under the basket with Buckman getting the ball inside and delivering without difficulty.
Keravnos was ahead to the score, leading even by 12, (58-46) and finishing the 3rd period with 61-52. AEL stepped in determined in the 4th period and with good defence on Greer, managed on the 35 to sank a couple of 3-pointers, cut the lead to 6 and slowly advanced to a 2 point lead, 67-69.
The last 2 minutes were indeed magnificent. Keravnos kept a 4 point lead but AEL's Mitchell and Taylor, insisted sanking 3-pointers, showing how badly wanted this game. During those minutes Keravnos pulled down 3 crucial offensive rebounds, managing to win the game, 81-78.
Statistically speaking, Keravnos pulled down a total of 29 rebounds with AEL getting 25. As already said, offensive rebounds for Keravnos were +3 (Keravnos pulled a total of 9 offensive Rebounds, AEL pulled 6 offensive rebounds), and those were the ones that have given it the victory.
Worth mentioning for both teams is the fact that Keravnos had 7 more steals than AEL in the 2nd half (in the 1st half steals were 4-3 respectively) but AEL had 11 more assists than Keravnos in the 2nd half (in the 1st half assists were 5-4 respectively). On total Keravnos went to the fee throw line 23 times, with 17 being successful, whereas AEL hit 7 out 12.
Generally speaking, Keravnos had indeed guts and passion and proved that it cannot be beated in its court. The team has slowly started to find its way and people in the club are confident for even better days.
In regards to AEL's defeat, has definitely contributed the fact that Radojevic had deliberately stayed out long and was not there to pull down rebounds especially at the fourth period. More over we believe that Dragan and his players have given too much attention to the referees instead of concentrating on the game, managing to get 3-technicals giving their opponent 6 easy points that turned out to be important.
AEL has proved that it is a great team and will be a great contender. No other team would stand so well and fight the game equallly until the last second, against Keravnos in Strovolos. Add to that, the fact that it had played for 27 minutes without its building block (Radojevic).
Dragan Raca has proven once more that is not accidentally holding the best coaching record in Cyprus. He dared to sit Radojevic on the bench for 27 minutes and played the game as if nothing happened until the end. Dragan surely has guts and he certainly made his point. He well communicated to his player that discipline in the team is of high importance and that if he wants to play he has to be a professional. This should be a lesson for all coaches!
Quarters: 1st=16-19, 2nd=40-36, 3rd=61-52, 4th=81-78
Keravnos Strovolou and Paris Papaellinas management decided to add in the current roster the bosman player Barisa Krasic (203-F-78) in the position of the power forward/cetner Marjanovic due to his serious injury earleir on this week. Krasic will actually play in the most crucial game of the regular seazon against Dragan Raca's team Proteas EKA AEL.
So Keravnos Strovolou will play against the strongest team of the league (until now) with a new adding which could be the 'secret ace' in the Strovolos Head Coach sleeve.
For more news in a while and after the end of the game tonight.
The results for the fourth week of the Cyprus league were as follows:
Intercollege Etha - Seastar Apoel 58-59

Korisliiga, Round 13: Two contests tonight. Kataja (Joensuu) defeating at home Team Componenta (Karkkila) 86-73 (38-31).

Team Componenta (5-8) was led by Frank Richards (188-G-82, college: Kansas St.), 26 pts. Kenneth Henderson (203-F-82, college: Texas Arlington) played his first game on TC roster. Henderson's start was not bad at all: 17 pts/12 rbs. In Forssa hosting FoKoPo was leading 64-57 with 5 minutes to go, but Kouvot (Kouvola) had a strong end of the game. American PG Brian Swift (178-G-82, agency: Octagon, college: S.Florida) took Kouvot to the lead (64-66) with 1:09 to go and the same man made a 2-pointer (64-68), when there were 33 seconds on the clock. Ronny LeMelle (196-G-81, agency: R.H.Consultancy, college: Auburn) made one FT with two seconds to go and also the final result 66-71.

FoKoPo - Kouvot 66-71 (38-42) (Vincent Hunter 25/11, Teemu Heiskanen 13 - Ronny LeMelle 18, Brian Swift 12, Roope Suonio 12).
Even when the world is coming to an end for a person, mans best friend the dog will always stick by him, and when The Deutsche Bank Skyliners need the big hoop in crunch time, it is always captain Pascal Roller (180-G-76) who shows he is as dependable as mans best friend the trusty dog. After his last second shot in Nordlingen that brought the team into overtime, Pascal Roller did it again with two seconds remaining lifting his team into overtime against Braunschweig. This great shot was a bit overshadowed by the first official BBL encounter between brother Konrad and Kevin Wysocki (198-F-87). Five year older Konrad Wysocki (202-F-82, agency: Pro One Sports, college: Princeton) was happy to play against his brother. 'It was a nice feeling to play against each other. It wasnt easy for my brother to come in so late in the game. He didnt want to make mistakes. The two quick fouls showed that he was very excited.' Kevin Wysocki was a bit disappointed of the loss, but happy to duel against his brother Konrad. 'It was a nice experience to play against him. We should of won the game in the regular time, but we were a bit weakened due to all the guys who had fouled out'. With the come from behind win, Frankfurt climb to position seven and The New York City Phantoms Braunschweig stay at position 11. 'This was a tough loss for us. We had a great opportunity to win, but give credit to Frankfurt for winning in overtime', expressed Kyle Visser (211-C-85, agency: Octagon, college: Wake Forest).
In front of 4,700 zealous fans, The Deutsche Bank Skyliners raced out to a 10-0 lead showing an offensive explosion that had the Ballsporthalle fans in awe early on. The first quarter was extremely insane as it was a game of runs. Four of the first five hoops were produced in the zone as Derrick Allen (203-F-80, agency: Pro One Sports, college: Mississippi) had little work making three quick hoops in the zone. In the first four minutes, Frankfurt displayed a fierce defense with much intensity that would weaken a bit as the game progressed. However Basketball would be tedious, when the game wouldnt have runs. Braunschweig came storming back on a 10-2 run. They werent slipping into the zone, but moreover hitting most everything from out. After German Dominik Bahiense de Mello (190-G-85) flew into the zone for a layup, Braunschweig would take their first lead. It seemed like Braunschweig coach Emir Mutapcic had an invisible magic wane as Braunschweig was as shot certain as was Michael Jordan (199-F-63, college: N.Carolina) in his prime in crunch time for The Chicago Bulls.
Braunschweig went on a 12-0 run with four consecutive three pointers. American BBL rookie Jeremy Crouch (196-G-85, college: Bradley) came in and drained two three pointers. Braunschweig led 16 to 12 and ever since the 10-0 run by Frankfurt, the Phantoms had gone on a 16 to 2 run. The intensity of the Frankfurt defense had dipped below the freezing point. However the first quarter ended with one last run by Frankfurt of 5-0. Ilian Evtimov (201-F-83, agency: Interperformances, college: N.Carolina St.) first introduced his new turn around jumper in Bamberg that would of even made Minnesota Timberwolves GM Kevin Mchale smile and unleased it again against Braunschweig. Pascal Roller and Max Weber (201-G/F-85) followed with free throws and Frankfurt led 17-16 after one quarter. After taking a 8-1 lead on rebounds, Frankfurt got a bit lazy as they only led 12-8 after 10 minutes. Frankfurt also was shooting lousy from three point land.
The first few minutes of the second quarter were very narrow, but The Deutsche Bank Skyliners were able to keep the slim lead. Braunschweig got some hoops from Americans Dustin Salisbery (196-G-84, agency: Pro One Sports, college: Temple) and Andrew Drevo (202-F/C-81, agency: Warren Sports International, college: Nebraska), while Frankfurt got points from Ilian Evtimov and Keith Simmons (196-G-85, college: Holy Cross). Frankfurt lost some concentration as Braunschweig went on a 9-1 run, taking their first big lead of game 30 to 24. Braunschweig was getting too easy hoops in the paint and getting important offensive rebounds. Americans Jason Cain (208-F-85, college: Virginia) and Dustin Salisbery scored inside in this phase. Ilian Evtimov stopped the run as he scored a three pointer from the V.I.P room. However with little time left, American Kyle Visser stole the ball and sent American William Franklin (183-G-85, college: Bradley) on the fast break for the hoop. The New York Phantoms Braunschweig led 32 to 29 at half time. The most unsatisfying stat was that Frankfurt had let up 14 of 16 points in the paint in the second quarter. Frankfurt was shooting only 29% from three point land, was losing the rebound fight 19-18, turned over the ball ten times and probably had coach Murat Didin asking for an extra pack of headache pills.
The New York Phantoms Braunschweig held on to their lead in the third quarter, but could not run away with the lead at first. After a Kyle Visser hoop in the zone, Derrick Allen followed up with a mini hook shot. Andrew Drevo then made a mid distance jumper with a sprawling Anthony King coming at him. Braunschweig led 36 to 31, but would have a short lapse as Evtimov scored and captain Pascal Roller finally hit his first shot on a catch and pop sequence. After Kyle Visser grabbed an offensive rebound and scored, it was Pascal Roller again with a jump shot after a De Mello steal. The score was tied again at 38. Now Braunschweig gained the momentum going on a 13-2 run as they showed just how dangerous they can be when they play inside out. American William Franklin is more known as a shooting point guard, but he showed flashes of passing brilliance as he leaped in the zone and surprisingly found an open Jason Cain, who finished with a nifty reverse layup. American Jeremy Crouch sunk a long three pointer. Braunschweig led 51 to 40. However Frankfurt had had enough and closed the Braunschweig scoring a bit ending the third quarter with a 8-3 run. Ilian Evtimov showed his beautiful passing finding Keith Simmons sneaking into the zone from the wing with a two handed slam dunk. Later Ilian Evtimov drained an open three pointer. Braunschweig led 54 to 48 after three quarters. Both teams were still shooting miserably from three point land, but the rebounds were even, but Frankfurt already had 15 turnovers, even though they have a season average of 13.
The New York Phantoms showed little nerves in the beginning of the fourth quarter as they made Frankfurt work for every basket. After Derrick Allen and Andrew Drevo traded hoops in the zone, American Kyle Visser made a two handed slam dunk with Konrad Wysocki a step too late. Frankfurt then created some extra energy going on a 7-2 run. American Derrick Allen hit a mid distance jumper and a hoop in the zone barrelling past Andrew Drevo, who fell backwards showing his acting skills still need polishing as the referee wasnt about to fall for that. American William Franklin made two easy hoops in the lane, past a Roller,who had to hold back because of four fouls and Keith Simmons, who was a step late. Pascal Roller then sunk a big three pointer cutting Braunschweigs lead to only 62 to 60. Braunschweig wasnt caving in as Nils Mittmann (201-F/C-79, agency: Agency No 10) hit a huge three pointer with Allen in his face. After a few free throws, Ilian Evtimov made a big steal from Jeremy Crouch and American Titus Ivory (193-G-79, college: Penn St.) finished with a left handed lay up. Braunschweig led only 67 to 64, After a Simmons free throw, Salisbery could only make one free throw. Braunschweig led 68 to 65 with eight seconds to play. Frankfurt brought the ball up quickly and as usual it was time for Pascal Mr reliable Roller to save the day and he did making a three pointer sending the Ballsporthalle into a frenzy. 'We had great pressure defense and Roller made a great shot. Even if Pascal has not made his usual shots in the game, you can count on him always to make the big shot', said Konrad Wysocki.
The Deutsche Bank Skyliners had two advantages going into overtime with the Roller shot momentum and the fact that Andrew Drevo, Kyle Visser and Jason Cain had fouled out. Coach Mutapcic had had loud words for Kyle Visser in the fourth quarter and wasnt happy with his play. 'Coach wasnt too happy about my fouls. He is a very emotional man, but a good coach. We have a fine relationship', commented Kyle Visser. Frankfurt had the better start going on a 4-0 lead with Wysocki free throws and an Evtimov layup. Then Kevin Wysocki made his big entrance getting two quick fouls, but then making a layup. After William Franklin hit a free throw, Frankfurt led only 75 to 72. Now the whole tide of the game changed After Americans Titus Ivory scored in the zone and Keith Simmons made an off balance shot. Ilian Evtimov then made a big steal and iced the game with two free throws.'Our strong defense led us to victory in overtime', commented Derrick Allen. The last second three pointer by William Franklin didnt change anything as Frankfurt had dominate the overtime period and deserved to win. 'In the overtime, it really helped that we had the fans behind us. Our emotions were high and that big Pascal Roller shot to get us into overtime helped us win it in overtime', stated Konrad Wysocki.
The Deutsche Bank Skyliners were led by Ilian Evtimov with 23 points and five rebounds. American Derrick Allen produced 15 points and three rebounds. German Pascal Roller chipped in with 13 points and American Keith Simmons had a nice debut back from his injury with 12 points, six rebounds and three assists. The New York Phnatoms Braunschweig were led by American William Franklin with 21 points, five rebounds and five assists. Americans Andrew Drevo, Dustin Salisbery and Jeremy Crouch chipped in with 11 points a piece.
This was not an easy win for The Deutsche Bank Skyliners as they had to exercise tough labor to win in overtime. It was a game that Braunschweig could of won, but let slip out of their hands as too many key players fouled out and Frankfurt gained the momentum with the big Roller shot. In the end, both teams were shoddy from three point land as Frankfurt didnt show a good example with their 27% or Braunschweig with their 31%. One aspect that should be commended was their comeback in winning the rebound duel 48 to 40. They started out well rebounding, lost control, but picked it up near the end of the fourth quarter and in overtime. The team also played more intelligent and control Basketball only giving up one turnover in the last 15 minutes of play. Frankfurt quietly won their fourth game out of their last five games and are back in the playoff zone. In crunch time, the Frankfurt defense was a wall, but could be more consistent for 40 minutes. Frankfurt might of taken a chaper out of the Nordlingen win as this win was very similar to the ending in overtime. The gang of Murat Didin showed a new quality that has more to do with character than skill. 'We showed incredible preserverence, never gave up and showed great fighting spirit', explained an elated Titus Ivory. In the next weeks, The Deutsche Bank Skyliners will have double duty as the Euro challenge starts. The next game is on Tuesday in Estonia against BC Kalev Cramo and the next BBL game on Saturday November 29th at 18:30.

Saturday night in round 13 of the FEB competition, Landstede Basketball and Rotterdam Challengers both won impressively at home vs. Eiffel Towers and Matrixx Magixx respectively, Hanzevast Capitals win once again a nailbiter at home, while BlueStream Seals get back on the winning track.
In the ZBC-hal, strong defensive and heady play made all the difference for Landstede Basketball, with Landstede steamrolling over Eiffel Towers 71-62. Landstede forced Eiffel into 38.2% FG and only 6 of 22 from the three-point line, including shutting down top scoring threats Jerome Beasley (209-F-80, college: N.Dakota), Devonne Giles (203-F-83, college: Texas Tech) and Kees Akerboom (200-F-83, agency: Court Side), who all failed to reach double figures in scoring. Landstede forced an Eiffel meltdown in the 2nd quarter, in which Eiffel scored only 5 pts! Landstede led 34-21 at halftime and did not relinquish its grip on the game. Gerad Punch (193-G/F-84, college: Furman) played big for Landstede, with a double-double of 19 pts. and 11 rebounds. David Jackson (195-G-78, agency: Edge Sports, college: Oregon) was the only Eiffel player to reach double figures. Landstede moves now to 5-7, while Eiffel finished off a bad week and falls to 8-4.
In the Topsportcentrum, the Rotterdam Challengers made Matrixx Magixx previous impressive win over defending Dutch champion seem like a stroke of luck, with the Rotterdam Challengers winning in an 87-50 blowout. Th eRotterdammers jomped out to a 20-9 start at the end of the 1st quarter, and dominated every quarter, holding Matrixx to pitiful shooting numbers of 27.5% FG and 5 of 20 from the three-point line. The Rotterdammers had no such problem finding the basket, with shooting numbers of 54.8% FG and 12 of 22 from the three-point line. Phil Grant (202-G/F-79, agency: R.H.Consultancy, college: Iona) led Rotterdam with 18, Bobby Walker (188-G-84, agency: Pro One Sports, college: Va Commonwealth) added 17 and Charles Richardson (178-G-84, agency: R.H.Consultancy, college: Nebraska) had numbers of 16 pts., 5 assists and 6 steals. The Rotterdammers improve to 6-5 while Matrixx falls to 8-5.
In the Martiniplaza on Saturday night, Hanzevast Capitals held a comfortable 1st half margin vs. reeling Aris Friesland, but managed to avert a 2nd half comeback thanks to strong backcourt play from Rogier Jansen (188-G-84, agency: Court Side) and Torey Thomas (180-G-85, agency: Interperformances, college: Holy Cross), winning a 103-101 nailbiter. Hanzevast led at halftime 54-45 but Aris Friesland made an impressive comback, but in the end Hanzevast's depth was much better than their northern rivals. Jansen and Thomas led Hanzevast with 23 pts. and 5 assists each, with Jansen coming away with 5 steals. Hanzevast also had a 36-13 bench scoring difference and made 14 three-pointers. Aris Friesland, who shot 72.1 % FG and dished out 32 assists, were led by Matt Bauscher (188-G-85, agency: Scorers 1st Sportmanagement) with a game-high 28 pts. Hanzevast gets back on track after the heartbreaker vs. Eclipse Jet/MyGuide, creeping closer to the top of the FEB at 8-4.
In Den Helder, with two teams thirsting for a win, BlueStream Seals overcame a 62-53 3rd quarter deficit to find their second win, dominating the 4th quarter to win 84-82 over struggling ZZ Leiden. BlueStream Seals outscored ZZ 31-20 in the 4th to snatch the victory. Matt Witt (183-G-84, agency: Court Side, college: E.Kentucky) led five BlueStream Seals players in double figures. Seamus Boxley (201-C-82, college: Portland St.) led ZZ with 19 pts. and 10 rebounds. BlueStream Seals improve to 3-8, while ZZ Leiden falls to 1-10 and their 10th straight loss.

Loyola Marymount Athletics has announced that Bill Bayno is taking a leave of absence, effective immediately, as the head coach of the LMU men's basketball team. Assistant Coach Max Good will serve as acting head coach during Bayno's leave.
'Recently, I was diagnosed with a serious medical condition, in part, related to the stress and anxiety of head coaching,' says Bayno. ' It will require treatment which will force me to take a leave of absence. It is unfortunate and I feel badly for the University, the coaching staff and most of all my players and their families, all of whom I will miss very much. I ask for privacy for myself and my family and I thank you for your prayers and support.'
'The LMU Family's greatest concerns are for the wellbeing of Bill and the team,' said LMU Atheltics Director Dr. William Husak. 'His health is the most important thing he needs to focus on right now. He has done great things in his brief time at LMU and has earned the love and respect of all. I have asked Max Good to be our acting head coach during this time period and I have great confidence that Max and the rest of the staff will continue the process Bill began. All of us at LMU are concerned for Bill's wellbeing and he and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.'

USC forward Alex Stepheson's (6'9''-F) waiver petition for immediate eligibility to compete at USC after transferring this fall from N.Carolina has been denied by the NCAA. He will not be eligible for competition at USC in the 2008-09 basketball season.
USC will consult with Alex and his family on the next course of action.
Stepheson played the last two seasons at N.Carolina where he appeared in 75 games, making 52.7 percent of his shots. Last season, he averaged 4.3 points and 4.5 rebounds while leading the Tar Heels in rebounds six times. Stepheson prepped at Harvard-Westlake HS in North Hollywood where he averaged 20.4 points and 17.8 rebounds as a senior.
QUOTE FROM USC HEAD COACH Tim Floyd :
We were disappointed to learn about this decision, but I respect the NCAA process. We understand this has been a very complicated process and appreciate the efforts of the USC staff, the NCAA, N.Carolina and Alex and his family.
Alex would have really helped our team this season and would have had a big impact in the Pac-10, but we will have to move beyond this now. He practiced hard and showed us the kind of player he is. I'm confident he'll work even harder now and prepare himself for next season. Even though it appears he won't be suiting up for us this year, he'll be an integral part of our Trojan basketball team.

Killing a Butterfly With a Sledgehammer
Allow me to troll here for a sec.
Why the diesel love?
In the Detroit area, the higher cost of diesel would seem to offset the fuel savings entirely, let alone the much higher purchase price over a gasoline engined vehicle, so you aren't really saving money.
Some are well known for their high mileage durability, others not, so no real advantage there.
The fuel is much worse for smog emissions, and heavier in carcinogens. The urea fluid is expensive too, if I remember correctly. Is that stuff in all the newer generation diesels?
Is it just me, or are manufacturers using the higher mpgs of diesels now as a way to simply meet CAFE standards?
One argument I can't dispute is MOAR TORQUES.
Trucker wannabees.
bastomatic wrote: The urea fluid is expensive too, if I remember correctly. Is that stuff in all the newer generation diesels?
Without having much opinion on the matter, I have heard that the requirement for all the new trucks to run DEF (I assume cars have to run that stuff as well? I don't know) has actually spiked up the cost of used trucks that were built before that regulation was in force.
Anyhow, that's my take. For a daily driver/road trip car, I really dig the driving experience, and I really like that it has efficiency benefits. I am taking the emissions improvements on faith to some extent.
DEF(urea) is dirt cheap and lasts for awhile.
Particulate emmissions are higher but they are lower on the others IIRC.
I won't deny any of that... But I do like the fact that I can let my 91 F250 sit for months at a time and if has enough current to crank over, it will start...
As far as getting a truck I think hands down a diesel. I have driven the two different F250's one with the V10 (sucks) and the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel (awesome). I was able to get nearly 25MPG on the freeway with the diesel, a V10 would be lucky to see 10MPG. Towing with a diesel is great it's like nothing is behind you.
Cars, I can't make heads or tails of because I am not a VW fan and finding a manual transmission in a Mercedes is nearly impossible. If I could import a car from Europe or Canada, I would probably like the car selection better.
The new diesel are a breed of their own as far as emissions, but the older vehicles, can easily run WVO & Biodiesel which I have done some research and have attempted to run in my diesel truck when I had it. Obviously running WVO and biodiesel can be cheap and almost has 0 emissions.
noddaz wrote: I won't deny any of that... But I do like the fact that I can let my 91 F250 sit for months at a time and if has enough current to crank over, it will start...
So does my gas 78 Chevy. What does that have to do with diesels?
Because how are you going tow a utility trailer if you don't have an F250?
bastomatic wrote: The fuel is much worse for smog emissions, and heavier in carcinogens. The urea fluid is expensive too, if I remember correctly. Is that stuff in all the newer generation diesels?
It's not worse for smog emissions, it's different. Better in some ways, worse in others.
That said, while I like the diesel in my tow vehicle, I have no desire to own a diesel-powered car.
Reminds me of when I was a student at Ohio Diesel Technical Institute back in 1981. The instructors told us that there was nothing harmful about diesel exhaust. Unlike gasoline exhaust, diesel is all organic and breathing it can't hurt you. I am dead serious, that's what they thought back then. That school had 50 tractors in it, and I think one exhaust fan.
Funny that I now have multiple serious medical problems...
In reply to bravenrace:
Inhalation of anything can lead to those problems, but that wasn't widely known back then.
I think a lot of stigma still comes from the crapola US diesel cars from the 80's.
People need to compare the same model of car (let's say two '99 Beetles, one diesel, one gas) with similar usage in order to see how well they have done, respectively.
I can see the diesel as a perfect fit throughout any manufacturers line-up.
yamaha wrote: In reply to bravenrace: Inhalation of anything can lead to those problems, but that wasn't widely known back then.
How do you know? I didn't say what problems I was having.
Doesn't diesel gel in the winter? We always put Anti-Gel in the fuel if our diesel tractor for the winter.
To the original topic:
Shut your whore mouth.
I would have bought the CRDi engine in the Auzzie/Euro Elantra here in a heartbeat. 60mpg, convert it to veggie oil, torque for weeks (days is for wussies) and minimal maintenance. It had similar acceleration numbers to the 2.0 gas models but with almost twice the economy and torque.
SyntheticBlinkerFluid wrote: Doesn't diesel gel in the winter? We always put Anti-Gel in the fuel if our diesel tractor for the winter.
It can, but commercially sold hwy diesel has anit-gel agents added. One reason why diesel prices increase during the winter.
I own a TDI, but I'm not really a big diesel fan. I often tell people not to buy one based on their needs. In my case, it just happened to be the right car for my situation at the right time. Would I do it again with current offerings? Probably not. The payback vs. gas powered cars isn't as good.
I wish the diesel had been available when my Disco was imported to the US.
My 99 TDI get's 50+ mpg all day. My old (300,000+ miles) mercedes got about 30, and my Ram with the Cummins got about 21. You can't touch those numbers with a comparable car today, even a hybrid. Even if you take out the capability to run WVO (free fuel is nice) it still makes sense to me. Of those three, only the TDI has less than 300K on it (gimme time, I'm working on it) and all were quite reliable. Not many 92 Mercs, 93 W250's running around that have a gas engine.
Oh, that that cummins powered truck, when I loaded it down with a car on a trailer the 21 mpg might drop to 19. Never recorded less than 18 mpg.
Because torque. Torque is good.
I'm not talking about nancy-boy little Jettas here piddling about getting 50+ mpg... I'm talking about 15MPG pulling 7.5 tons of truck/race car trailer across mountain ranges with a quad, tires and 80 gallons of fuel in the bed, cruise control & AC on. Mile after mile. Effortlessly. Singing along with XM radio. Maybe having a snack. Possibly a family pack sized bag of beef jerky.
They totally rule for that.
I agree that years ago, diesel cars could get better fuel mileage than a gas engine car. But now gas engines have some pretty high tech E36 M3 in them and can crank out some serious MPG. And a lot of the small turbo gas engines have pretty nice torque. So I'm with most others here...I don't see the advantage of a diesel car...heavy duty trucks are a different story. Buy in cost is higher, fueling cost is higher.
And yes, the new DEF/urea emissions components have driven up the price of older heavy trucks that don't have that stuff. I see it every day.
Around here the cost of Diesel is not that different from high test gasoline. Might be higher where you are, but all of my cars have had the little lettering on the gas gage that reads "Premium fuel only" so I am already used to paying those prices
I can't see the sense in a diesel car right now. They cost more to by, and here fuel is about $.45 more per gallon. It would take a long time for the difference in mileage to pay off.
My diesel pulls much better than any of my old gasser trucks. Of course, it's modified and dynowed at over 750 ft lbs of torque to the wheels. It's also very reliable, easy to work on, and gets decent mileage.

Dierks Bentley, 'Home' – Album Review
Dierks Bentley is back with producer Brett Beavers for 'Home,' a welcome return to the distinct sound the two have crafted since his self-titled debut in 2003.
When listening to a good album by the Arizona born singer, there is always this exciting feeling that he's somehow getting away with something. It's like the metaphorical suits at his label aren't really paying attention, so he gets to take risks other artists wouldn't dream of. The best example of this is his previous album, 'Up on the Ridge,' a vanity project that an artist usually doesn't get to try until they're 10 or 15 years into a very successful career.
On 'Home,' Bentley again takes chances with his familiar combination of Bakersfield country, bluegrass and singer-songwriter ballads that only work because they're so honest and convincing. His sound is still far left of mainstream, and he is not blessed with the voice of an angel. But perhaps more than any other artist in Nashville, he makes the most of what God gave him.
'When You Gonna Come Around' (featuring Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild) and 'Thinking of You' are examples of Bentley's charming vulnerability. He sings like a man not totally comfortable with bearing his feelings, which is to say he sings like pretty much any guy in America would. The Top 10 hit 'Home' also works much better between the nonchalant 'Tip It on Back' and the clever 'Diamonds Make Babies' than it did between any two songs on the radio.
Three turn-it-up moments are 'Am I the Only One,' 'Gonna Die Young' (these come back to back) and '5-1-5-0,' a potential single that will be noticed for it' locomotive rhythm before the clever lyrics. "It's like I got a first class seat / Up on Ozzy's train," he sings before exploding into the chorus.
A few mid-tempo cuts fall flat. 'The Woods' is a segue song, and the dark and somber love song 'Breathe You In' is a little creepy. "I wanna breathe you in / I wanna be so close / You can wear my skin / Like a new set of clothes," he sings.
'Home' is an album, not just a collection of songs and ideas thrown randomly onto compact disc. Bentley sneaks brilliant lyrics between rolling guitar licks and heavy emotion, like he's giving a wink to the most observant fans. It's a reward for making it through the project two or three times, which is what it takes to realize the album for all its worth.

Roman Catholic Hospital Adds Area for Indian Meditation
This Catholic hospital in Bismark, North Dakota recently dedicated a $300,000 solarium and meditation room to accomodate Native Americans who want to "burn sacred herbs to chase away evil spirits" in order to heal loved ones at the hospital. It's no secret that the longevity of the Roman Catholic church as a bureaucratic institution is due in part to its ability to adapt to local cultures and assimilate the local "religions" into its system. St. Alexius and its 300 G's make a good case in point.

The New Gok Wan range at Simply Be. WHOA.
Did you know that Simply Be is going to launch a Bridal Range? I kid you not. Can that store BE any more amazing? Also, have you seen the latest Gok Wan pieces? Phwoar!
Right now I'm getting re-excited by fashion. In a strange turn this year - like many of you, I haven't (YET) been THAT excited by fashion. There are always exceptions - but when you see some of the same products being sold from AX Paris, Evans and Yours (with the Yours mark-up being OUTRAGEOUS) - it's hard to fall in love with current fashion, when such similar items are being sold across the board.
Simply Be has offered some gorgeous pieces, like the coveted "Car Dress" and Evans had the amazing Celments Ribiero range... Suddenly though - in the last two weeks, I've been seeing the most stunning pieces come through and I'm getting excited for Autumn and Winter. Certainly - after my Anna Scholz post last week I've seen a bunch of things that have grabbed my attention and for the first time in almost a year - I've felt compelled to purchase from Asos Curve again. All this:
I've only ever bought ONE item from New Look, but I find myself super tempted by these two items from the New Look Inspire range:
And THIS by Carmakoma...
So ladies, I'm curious... How are you feeling about fashion right now? As I say - for me, it's been a slow year and I'm FINALY getting excited by fashion 2012. There HAVE been some great moments thus far this year - BUT - I've been waiting for brands to really kick our plus size fashions into gear and it feels like it's happening. There's a lot to look forward to.
Oh yeah.

I think it's cute -- I LOVE this picture! You might try just a different color instead of that lined paper -- the lines kinda take away from that amazing pic. Just a suggestion...
|audosborne, at 06:41AM on Thursday December 06, 2007
Thanks Celeste. I agree with you.. I changed the background and removed the matt but I'm not sure I like the color..I've tried every shade of blue I can find but the tan seemed to work better. What do you guys think?
|celestegrover, at 11:39AM on Thursday December 06, 2007
OOOOOHHHH - I LOVE IT!!! That is just gorgeous!!!! PERFECT!!!

I've just been going through the archives and came across your LO. Something that I have done to soften the look (if your picture goes behind your text block) is to use the transparency tool. By making the text block transparent - experiment with how much traqnsparency you want - it softens the look and will add to the breezy feeling of a day at the beach. You might also take a wispy brush stroke element and lay it over the seam between the photo and the text block. Love the photo!

It's been a well-deserved win for Pakistan as they stayed ahead of SA all through the match. The second Test will be played in Dubai from October 23 and we will be back with the coverage. Lots of post-match analysis to come from Firdose, who is at the ground. In the end, thanks for your comments and feedback, this is Devashish Fuloria signing off. Ciao ciao.
Misbah-ul-Haq: "It's really unbelievable and a much-needed win for us, it was a team effort and everyone contributed, especially the youngsters. Both openers and Zulfiqar Babar, they really did a tremendous job for us. I think everyone chipped in, especially with the bowling. We go the advantage from the first innings. In these conditions, it's difficult to score runs, that's why I was disappointed when i lost the toss. But when we got them under 250, we thought, if we batted well, we could get ourselves into a good position. That was a much-needed 100 for me, the last one came in 2011, and I was looking forward to it. It came at a time when the team needed it. Conditions will remain the same in Dubai, maybe more bounce and spin. So they are likely to suit us. But SA have played there before too, so we need to repeat the performance."
Khurram Manzoor is the Man of the Match for his century in the first innings. He says, "I was a bit tense till the match finished, but i am happy that we won it in the end. I have worked hard with the coach, focused on domestic cricket, and I have been working on my fitness as well. The hard work is now paying off. I and Shan Masood play quite a lot together, so we have good communication. In fact, I was getting more confidence from watching Shan play."
Graeme Smith: "Extremely disappointed, we have set really high standards for ourselves, but credit goes to Misbah and his boys, right from session 1, they have been ahead in the game and played better cricket. Even though we showed good character in parts, our skills were not upto the mark. First morning was a tough time to bat, but we still got into ourselves into good position in the first innings, but then we fell apart a bit. Only posting 250 puts you under pressure. Our bowlers weren't that bad, but we were certainly not up to the standards we set for ourselves. We have to look at our ability to bounce back and have to improve on a few things and see how we can be more effective, and hopefully make the right decisions. Hashim is the best batsman in the world at the moment, the birth of his child is a big moment for him, and I wish him and his wife best of luck."
After some jitters, Pakistan have completed a big win against the No 1 side. Misbah and Younis calmed the nerves and took the team to a well-deserved win. The foundation of the win though was set during that excellent performance by their batsmen in the first innings, which gave the side a huge lead. Nothing to take away from the bowlers though, who kept pegging away at wickets and didn't allow the South African batsmen to settle in both innings.. A great match for Khurram Manzoor and the lone ranger, Misbah, both hitting good centuries.
South Africa were in the danger of losing this match by an innings, but good batting by ABd V and Robbie P saved them the blushes, however, after the position they were in at the end of day 3, it was always going to be a hard job. Their 15-match unbeaten run is finally broken.
Calvin: "Where will Pakistan be without Misbah,Great player,who do not get the respect he rightly deserve.Just keep on making runs,and they may eventually give you the recognition you truly deserved."
Tipu: "Manzoor and Masood have a point to prove in the 2nd match...that their 1st innings scores werent just a fluke...Zulfiqar on the other hand will sleep much easier since he's been more consistent"
Ali: "Everyone will talk about south africa and their under-preparation and the heat they had to face. No will talk about Pakistan, how less they play tests in comparison to other countries and how well they have bounced back, after being shot in SA earlier."
Nico: "SA's biggest problem seems to be their strong middle order ... the top-order bats think "Someone will clean up the mess" and don't take personal responsibility!"
Ahsan: "Pakistan's 4th win vs. South Africa in Tests, and probably my 4th unpublished comment !" ----- Not anymore Ahsan
Kushagra: "112.5% Done. I hope they gain some 12.5% extra confidence into the second test from that."
sahir: "this part...this little part...right here....(misbah hitting the final runs) is called happYness...a proud pakistani fan pulled an all-nighter here in US to see my country prove once again that they can literally do anything...publish my comment or make me some coffee..." ---- Since there is no way to make coffee on the internet, I am publishing this
Alex G: "Zimbabwe beat Pakistan, now Pakistan beat South Africa. Are Zimbabwe currently the best team in the world?"
END OF OVER:13 | 3 Runs | PAK: 39/3

There are lots of articles and essays of interest to modern Pagans out there, sometimes more than I can write about in-depth in any given week. So The Wild Hunt must unleash the hounds in order to round them all up.The home of traditional 19th century Irish healer Biddy Early is up for auction. Current property owner Billy Loughnane is hoping that someone with a strong interest in Early will purchase the land, restore her cottage, and preserve it as a tourist spot. Biddy Early is perhaps one of the most famous of the female cunning folk, and her legend has only grown over the years. In June a new group blog, Feminism & Religion, launched. The main contributors are all feminist theo … [Read more...]

I'm sure you've all seen a "customer service film" at a new job at some point in your career - they usually show a rather amusing scenario about what happens when employees don't treat their customers the right way.
In this film from 1971, the Bell System produced a film on phone etiquette to show customers and employees on proper ways to use the phone, especially with new features like call forwarding and putting people on hold coming into usage. The film features Pat Harrington, Jr., who later went on to play Schneider in "One Day at a Time", as the boss of a sportswear firm who keeps getting stymied by his office staff's inability to properly use the phone system.
Having seen films like these before, I suppose the "bad behavior" was expected, but what struck me more was the sexism and blatant "bad boss" behavior of some of the employees. If I answered a phone and someone started yelling at me (even someone whose car had broken down and was wet), I certainly might forget some of my phone etiquette and training. Of course, today, Mr. Davis would have a cell phone and would be able to call the customer directly from inside his broken-down car (right after he called for a tow truck). Still, it's no surprising that films like "9 to 5" appealed to a wide audience, highlighting such boorish behavior.
This film was also directed by Bruce Bilson, a noted Hollywood director of TV shows that included "Hogan's Heroes", "The Odd Couple" and "Nanny and the Professor." He even directed the episode of "The Brady Bunch" where Bobby pretends to be sick so he could meet Joe Namath.
The guy in the stockroom was Joe Conley, a character actor best known as Ike Godsey on "The Waltons"; other people may know some of the other actors/actresses, but I'm too young to remember many of them.

As has been predicted all year, we are transitioning into a different market as interest rates stay at all time lows, buyer's are realizing that the housing market has hit its bottom for now, and the inventory is selling when priced right, she noted.
Hamilton said September closed out with 182 total closed residential homes in Wilson County, an increase from September 2011 by 51 sales and stable since June.
Mt. Juliet closed out September with 113 of the 182 sales or 62 percent of the total. She said 36 percent of Mt. Juliet's sales are new construction while 19 percent are in the foreclosure or short sale status leaving only 45 percent being traditional re-sales. The median sales price of existing resale homes in Mt. Juliet in September is $179,950 with a median days on the market of 58 and median price per square foot of $92.15. New home sales in Mt. Juliet have a median sales price of $235,915 with a median price per square foot of $118.66.
Lebanon ended the month with a total of 57 residential home sales, 18 percent of which were foreclosure and/or short sales and 28 percent of new construction. Lebanon's market consists of 72 percent of traditional re-sale homes, quite a bit more than Mt. Juliet. Lebanon's median sale price of existing re-sale homes was $156,000 with a median days on the market of 83.5 and median price per square footage of $87.71. The median sale price of new construction in Lebanon is $179,900 with a median price per square foot of $101.33.
Old Hickory ended September with five closed homes, two of which are foreclosures. The median sale price was $174,000, with 112 days on the market and a median price per square foot of $88.41.
Watertown's September numbers were improved as well with seven total closed sales, two of which were foreclosures or/short sales. The median sale price in Watertown was $118,228 with a median price per square foot of $78.06.

Visiting a cemetery may not be the first thing that jumps to mind when planning a trip, but if you're traveling to New Orleans, cemeteries should be on your itinerary.
Metairie Cemetery is unlike any other cemetery in the country. Architectural tombs are at turns elegant, grandiose, and touching. Some have the rich detail and refined sensuality of a Bernini. Others appear to want to "one-up" their neighbors.
Self-guided tour maps, recorded cassettes, and tape players are available at the funeral home (free of charge). Follow the "Soldier, Statesmen, Patriots, Rebels" tour or the "Great Families and Captains of Commerce" tour, or both. Since the cemetery spans 150-acres, many people tour it in automobiles, descending when something catches their eye. Not to be missed are the Estelle Theleman Hyams monument, the Moriarty monument, and the Brunswig mausoleum.
It's easy to wander among the dead for several hours, and to fully appreciate the art and artistry, consider returning to Metairie Cemetery several times during a New Orleans Bed and Breakfast vacation. If you intend to make Metairie Cemetery a major part of your trip, consider staying at a New Orleans Bed and Breakfast in Mid-City or Parkview.
Ask your innkeepers about the best times to visit Metairie Cemetery, or consider taking a New Orleans Cemetery tour.

The Astra IIIB is available in two configurations: the Deluxe and the Professional. The Deluxe uses a rectangular index mirror that is silvered on the front surface. This arrangement allows for simple replacement (size is compatible with most other sextant mirrors), better reflection brightness, and increased durability (it's much easier to keep clean and corrosion-free). The Professional offers the highest precision with a bronze arc fused to the aluminum frame--the best of both worlds: lightweight handling and high accuracy (+/-15"). It's the perfect choice for the discriminating buyer.
Both the Deluxe and Professional models are available with a whole horizon or traditional half-silvered horizon mirror. Customers prefer the traditional mirror for the most precise star sights; some navigators feel that a whole horizon mirror simplifies sun and moon sights. Replacement mirrors are available and are user-serviceable.
All Astra IIIB models include:
Telescopes, eyecups, practice horizons, and other accessories are also available.

Jesus raptors
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Salvation is their top priority... that or salivation."
Jesus raptors (Jesuus Velociraptorus Awesomeus Furious) are an unspeakably evil species, which is why one has to type about them. Those who have attempted to speak of their evil have had their vocal chords ripped out. This hurts like a mother, so it is suggested that you shut up.
A Jesus Raptor looks a lot like a giant velociraptor with a beard and a halo. A Jesus Raptor can be immediately identified by the fact that it makes facial hair work. Any sighting of a Jesus Raptor should be reported directly to the Pope in person and as quickly as possible. If the Pope is not nearby when you see the Jesus Raptor it is recommended that you run like hell.
edit Concept
The concept of Jesus Raptors is probably the purest thing anybody could believe, it explains everything, and is the truest take on our creation, everything and anything. But try telling them that to their faces.
edit More concepts and shit
Raptors are mortal enemies of the T Rex, just watch jurassic park. Another popular enemy of the raptor jesus is lord sauron, who is, as clearly evidenced by his name, a lord. Probably a better lord, because he didn't fuck with emperor Constantine and by extension spawn Catholicism as a byproduct of making some clouds look suspiciously like crosses. More than that, he probably isn't nearly as cool as sauron the yellow fucking dinosaur, a tyrannus varietal common in Primal Rage and known for his vehement dislike of anything and everything velociraptor.
edit History
The history of the Jesus Raptors is one shrouded in mystery. We can only guess as to their scandalous origins, which probably involved Jesus, a coquettish female velociraptor, and a few dozen bottles of tequila. Jesus can't hold his liquor.
When the first Jesus Raptors were spawned they started out to see the world, blazing a path of destruction and carnage wherever they went. They were so feared by the indigenous peoples of Antarctica that they became known as polar bears, which are of course, mythical.
The Jesus Raptors convened for the first time since their conception at the First Council of Nicaea, where they played strip poker with Constantine the "Look How Great I Am," and ate him when they lost. They also took time off to write all the sex scenes of the bible and make yo mama jokes with the various priests in attendance. Some of the priests attempted to return fire and were brutally mutilated and then eaten. Jesus Raptors love their mom.
After the council, the Jesus Raptors went their separate ways again. They're out there now, waiting to rip you to shreds with their holy and all powerful claws. Or mandibles. They use those too.
And they're JUST as holy!
edit Cult of the Bearded Barny
Jesus Raptor started the religion, but some christian moron took it in the wrong direction and started Mormonism, and of course he got eaten. Bearded Barny Cultists are all insane and should be avoided because they eat liars. They are often found in grocery stores buying kitty litter and muttering diabolically hard to understand phrases like, "meh... golden bearded beauty... eating your face... mrh..."
edit Jesus Raptors and Grues
Jesus Raptors like eating people almost as much as Grues, but Grues have a significant advantage in their numbers. The one fabled case of a Grue and a Jesus Raptor meeting involved BBQ sauce, cake mix, cavities, and a few tears in the fabric of reality. All that is really known for sure about the event is that they somehow managed to eat each other whole and disappeared through an extemporaneous tape-wormhole into another dimension.

Explorer of the Seas - Eastern Caribbean: Explorer of the Seas Cruise Review by Charlotte Tamberrino
Overall Member Rating
Explorer of the Seas - Eastern Caribbean
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
The Explorer of the Seas is a large wonderful ship. Overall we found the ship to be clean and the crew seemed to go out of the way to help you.
We flew into Fort Lauderdale the day before and then drove down to Miami. We rented a car through Hertz and we dropped it off in downtown Miami that morning and they shuttled us to the port. Hertz is great because they do not charge a drop off fee. We reversed the process when we returned from the cruise.
We arrived at the Port around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday and found the check in to be very organized and the line seemed to More move right along. We obtained our Sea Pass cards, and signed permission for our 18 year old son to drink if he wanted to. We figured he was in a controlled situation and we could keep tabs on our sea pass account of what/how much he drank.
We proceeded onto the ship where we greeted by staff and directed to our cabin. Our cabin was on Deck 6 towards the aft of the boat on the port side. It turned out to be a very nice cabin. I had requested/ordered birthday decorations and when we arrived at our cabin we found it nicely decorated. We also had a birthday cake there. I was unaware that you got a cake with the decoration package which was nice. By the time we got to our cabin we had a few items of luggage already awaiting us. That was great and before dinner all of our luggage had arrived. We thought our luggage was handled very well and we were surprised on how quickly it arrived.
However, when I cruise again with 4 people (2 adults/2 children), I will be sure and have two cabins. It was crowded and sometimes hard to move around with everyone there at the same time. However, you spend very little time in your cabin, so it wasn't that bad.
The best part of the cabin was the balcony. However, if you want more of a view, (meaning more plexiglass) book a cabin on Deck 7 or above. But, have it on the port side, because when you are in port in the Caribbean, you can be entertained by the late runners. We enjoyed watching every one run to the boat and everyone was on their balconies and cheered them on.
Our cabin had plenty of closet space, but I did pack some extra wire hangers. We had plenty of storage under the beds for our suitcases. The pull out couch, was not very comfortable the first night, but I asked our Cabin Steward, if he had anything he could pad it with and he produced a "egg crate" type pad which really helped.
We then headed out to Deck 11 for the cruise away party. It was a beautiful sunny day and there were plenty of people already laying out and relaxing.
After leaving the port of Miami, we headed down to The Promenade on Deck 5. We purchased a couple of the drink cards. I think for a young child it is a very good price ($28 plus gratuity), but it's a bit steep for an adult ($42 plus gratuity). I know I didn't drink that much soda, I preferred water or lemonade. The Promenade is a great place to get a snack at anytime of the day or night. The little sandwiches are great, cookies are plentiful and the pizza was a big hit with the kids.
We were very fortunate to have a wonderful dinner table on Deck 5, it was right by the window. The servers were wonderful and they always made good recommendations. I would advise on following your servers recommendations, because a few times we did not and the choices we made were not that good. I do believe that they need to improve the food quality, because never once did I walk away saying that was a really good meal. They were just o.k. We sat with three other couples and enjoyed making new friends. We had the early seating because we did not want to eat late, we didn't really feel rushed except for one night and on that night we just ate in the WindJammer.
We would eat breakfast in the WindJammer which was nice because it offered a good variety of choices. The food overall there was o.k. If the WindJammer appears to be crowded just continue on to the back and you'll find the Island Grill which has the same items, plus an omelette bar and plenty of seating.
Overall the food was o.k. Maybe Royal Caribbean will work on the quality of the food.
We attended some shows. The Ice Show was very good. Be sure and get your tickets the first day at sea. The Quest is show not to be missed. It is so funny. We also had a Beatles tribute band and it was so good, my husband went to both shows. The rest of the shows were o.k.
The problem with the boat is that it is so big and there is so many things to do, you just don't have enough time to do everything.
One reason I choose this boat is that it appealed to all ages and I was cruising with an 18 year old, who ended up meeting new friends and experimenting with different beers. It was nice that he could just hang out or go to the Chamber and we didn't have to worry about him. Our youngest met some other teenagers (14-17 yoga) and she enjoyed going to the Teen Club.
There was always something going on out by the pool. Which speaking of the pool area, on at Sea days it was hard to find a chair after 10 a.m. . I finally ended up getting up early, finding a chair and putting my bag on it, heading to breakfast and then coming back. I'd use the chair or chairs as our base for the day, and while we would leave we could come back in just a little while. However, beware of chair hogs who put towels on their chairs and then disappear for most of the day , I watched it happen. Apparently, someone said something to a towel attendant and those chairs were cleared. Which of course was only right. I also enjoyed the Solarium area. What a nice place to sit out of the sun and wind and read a book or take a nap.
My children did not climb the rock climbing wall, they said there was too long of a line. However, they did play miniature golf, basketball and ping pong. There is always something for everyone including a kiddy pool and slide area. It was right behind Johnny Rockets.
Which speaking of Johnny Rockets, it's a great place to grab a bite to eat. If you only want a shake, go to the window and order it and you don't get the surcharge, you only get charged for the shake. Not too many people seem to know that.
My daughter and I also went to the shopping show and found that to have a lot of useful information on where to shop at what port. Tasha was very knowledgeable.
I have to tell you that one thing we used a lot was room service. We would fill out the order the night before and place it on our door knob before we went to bed. The next morning, they would call to make sure we were there before delivering the food. It was so nice to eat out on the balcony. Just be specific if you want more than one of something and indicate how many jellies/butters/etc. you want. If you don't' they will just bring you one.
I enjoyed the balcony so much, it was nice to get up early and watch the horizon or the ports come into view. It was nice to enjoy the breeze when we had the door open. The balcony had a metal wall on one side and a plexiglass frosted portion on the other side. It was pretty private with two chairs and a little table. The wall in the front of the balcony was metal about 3-4 feet high with a wooden railing. I think on Deck 7 and above you had less metal in front and more plexiglass. If you had young kids at least you wouldn't have to worry about them with this balcony.
Overall, the ship was great, the activities were great, the shows were very good and the food was fair.
San Juan was an o.k. port. We just walked around and looked at the forts and historical sites. We did very little shopping. St. Maarten, we loved. We rented a car, cruised the island, went to Marigot, Orient Bay (the family part) and over to Maho Beach-Sunset Grill to watch the planes land. That was awesome. Then we hit the shopping which was great. St. Thomas was a nice port, too. We shopped and took an island tour. Nassau was our last port. It was o.k., but the trip to the Atlantis was nice.
We arrived back in the Port of Miami on Sunday morning and getting off the ship was orderly. We had already put our luggage out with color coded tags the night before. In fact the night before we went and got different colored tags that we had been given, because we didn't want to get off the ship at 7 a.m. So we exchanged them at the Purser's desk and was able to get up, vacate cabin and then eat breakfast. It probably took us about 1 hour to get off the ship and go through customs/immigration.
Overall, we enjoyed our cruise and would cruise on Royal Caribbean again. Less

I'm sure you've heard some of these things before:
"You should hold the yarn in your left hand"
"You should crochet right-handed (even if you're a lefty)"
"You should tension the yarn with your pinky"
"You should crochet through both loops"
Says WHO? The International Committee of I'm-better-than-you Crocheters? The Lord of Crochet?
The Real Rules of Crochet
All of these 'shoulds' really get me riled up.
They're rules made up by people with superiority complexes.
And all they do is make crocheting not fun for people. It scares of beginners. It makes people doing it 'another way' feel wrong. What good is that?
Here are what I think are the real rules of crochet:
- You should hold the yarn in the way that feels most comfortable for you
- You should crochet in a way that minimizes pain and discomfort
- You should crochet so that your project turns out looking like you want it to
- You should use crochet to make you feel happy and inspired!
Any 'should' that tells you you're wrong is baloney!
Are you with me?
Have you had someone tell you a 'should' that held you back?
Share your story!
And together, we can continue on crocheting in the way that makes us happy!
