The greatest being the world has ever known. All things in existence exist because hes wills them to. The Chieftan is second to no one and exists on an ethereal plane in seperate reality inaccessible to humans. The Chieftan employs the use of shamans, similarly to the way god employs the use of angels, to access the common folk, for they are naturally unable to comprehend or withstand the staggering magnitude of his being.
(pasquals wager: states) that you can only beilieve in the Chieftan, for if you did not, then you would negate your existance by removing that which created you from reality, ultimately resulting in your own inexistance in this world, thereby negating the possibility that you did not believe in the Chieftan, for you would not exist. This is how the Chieftan's omnipotence is asserted and proven. (if such a thing as proof was ever needed)

Very close game against Zoraster this afternoon, whereby I came up on top 2-1, by way of some lucky dodges and pretty bad block dice on zorasters part.

Me and Graever got out game in today. 2-1 to me, but i felt like it was a really close game. If one or two rolls had gone in Graever's favour then it would have at best for me been a draw.
Rok Ard Nobz (Orc, Grinn) vs. Read in Tooth and Claw (Necro, me)
Our first attempt to play this game bombed out on Sunday morning. I felt doubly hard done-by for this as I was winning and Grinn was coming off three hours sleep (an inducement so good you can't even buy it), but Cyanide.
The two teams were equal in value and had no casualties, so it was a straight up match of theoretically matched sides. I won the toss and elected to kick, the aim being to push the orcs into scoring quickly (or nabbing the ball off them), getting a fast TD before the second half then stalling out the rest of the match before scoring on the last turn. Things got off to a bad start when my kick zombie conceded a touchback, then got badly hurt in a blitz. Grinn put together a solid cage but I managed to stop it moving forward too far, until around turn 5 when I got an outside chance of bringing down the ball carrier after a succession of lucky 1 dice blocks (all through the match I tried more one dice blocks than I usually would, and I got away with nearly all of them). Unfortunately a push was re-rolled to attacker down, leaving a hole for the orcs to exploit: despite a couple of setbacks Grinn rolled the ball over the line on turn 7, leaving me with two turns to get an equaliser. Nearly made it but fell at the last hurdle with the wolf in the end zone spilling the (accurate catch) on turn 8 – 1-0 to Grinn at half time.
The second half did not start well for me, a slightly silly set-up was completely cracked open when the sure-hands ghoul flubbed the pick up. The proto-cage was immediately surrounded by half the orcs, while the rest of them put pressure around the ball. After a couple of turns scrambling I got some luck – first Grinn suffered a turnover on a re-rolled GFI, then he couldn't bring down the receiving wolf on a re-rolled two dice block. Just to rub salt into the wound I then managed to get through a dodge, GFI, one dice block, another GFI and a hand-off without failing horribly (which would've left the ball in the open and the wolves on the sidelines), leveling the score with 3 turns to go.
Kicking off I conceded another touchback despite aiming for the middle of the pitch, though we had another Cyanide moment when somehow the ball ended up on a Black Orc on the scrimmage. Grinn caged like a pro again, while running through three orcs into the backfield. I replied by hurling zombies, golems and wights at the cage while trying to mark up as much space as possible with the ghouls and wolves. With only a couple of turns to go Grinn was forced to dodge with the ball carrier, who promptly fell flat on his face and spilled the ball at the feet of three dead men, despite using a re-roll. With no players in position to score I put as many tackle zones around the ball as possible then scooped it up with a ghoul, who then withstood all Grinn's attempts to bring him down on the last turn – 1-1 at full time.
I probably had the best of the luck in this match: the touchdown in the first half was more likely to work than not by the time it failed, but the TD in the second was a horrible rag-bag of mistakes and dumb luck. Grinn played well but as he pointed out after 4 blodgeing players were too much for his single tackle blitzer to cope with, making it hard for him to get the space to move the ball around. No permanent casualties on either side (the apo actually worked on the Black Orc with a gouged eye, and remarkably not only did a dead zombie regenerate but so did a golem with a fractured arm), hopefully leaving us both in good shape to deal with the two chaos teams that seem to have spent most their efforts maiming one another.

The time to play Bribes at the end of a drive are pitifully short too.
Speaking of, have you used a Wizard since the latest update? 15s at the start of every turn until you use it! But at least you can't forget anymore...

Altdorf Army XI 3 - 1 The Hardwood Harpies
The two teams were evenly matched on paper but there's one factor that cannot be quantified by GPs alone and that is luck. The Hardwood Harpies had none of it. Zero, zip, zilch, nadda, nothing, not an iota.
The teams took to the field and The Army kicked off deep, the Harpies claimed the ball and made some ineffectual block on the line of scrimmage that had been re-arranged after a perfect defence but put a couple of threats into the human half. The Army responded by opening up a hole for their turbo-charged Catcher Grayland to make a 2D against block on the ball carrier - double POW showed how this game was going to go, the ball on the ground deep in the back field with a human player now standing over it. The elves recovered the ball, passed it down field and tried a hand off to an elf covered by two human who was in scoring range, the hand-off went bad (3+ with re-roll) and the ball was loose and the Humans get a cage around it with Grayland up field offering a scoring threat. the elves try to blitz into the cage and fail and the Army move the cage to the right and about to half way. A second attempt at blitzing into the cage is equally disastrous for the Elves. This made the humans Cocky and Grayland tried to peel off his double markers into the end zone but fell flat on his face leaving the thrower exposed with half his cage having ran down the pitch without him. Elf blitz fail - KOing a elf in the process. After the first few turns showing remarkably little violence The Army pulled out the stops and KO'd and elf and badly hurt a second and consolidate their ballcarrier halfway into the elf half in a full cage. A 4 strength elf blitzed the corner and stood next to the carrier putting the Army in a tight spot. There were two options open to the army, once high percentage but boring and risked the cage being immobilised next turn and chocking off the TD opportunity, the second low percentage, risked turning over the ball immediately but was
A) Awesome
B) TD worthy
Followers of the Army now what was selected, a single die blitz, a dodge, a GFI and TD Army.
But with two turns left plenty of time for Wood Elves to sc... BLITZ. Grayland is under the ball, the Elf counter blitz fails on the GFI, Grayland dodges away TD Altdorf.
So 2 - 0 at half time and despite 3 attempts to wake up only one of the Harpies 2 KO'd players makes it back to the field.
The Humans receive and vow to play conservatively, immediately kill an elf and safely secure a shallow kickoff. They move the ball left, once again easily seeing off a couple of Wardancer blitzes against them as the Dancer either falls over on the leap for skulls the block attempt. but then the Elves manage to get a succesful block on the ball carries as the cage is against the left hand touchline and a side stepping Wardancer ruining the Army's blocking patterns so a 4+ with re-roll pickup is attempted because the majority of players around the ball are humans and it's not like.. fumble, scatter, fumble, scatter to free elf, run left, pass, hand off - score. Despite having a negative level of luck with the dice the Harpies were suddenly in this game.
Another shallow kick off put the ball in the hands of a player without Sure Hands and I was worried but the ball was then safely shifted into the hands of a thrower. And then followed a succession of Wardancers throwing themselves at the feet of my players until it just became too much and I stuck the boot into a prostrate Wardancer on turn 15 Badly Hurting him. This fortuitously left Grayland 1 square inside the Elf half and a simple blitz on turn 16 followed by a hand off left him with a clear, if 3 GFI needed, run for the line to get a 3rd TD for the Army.
Grayland was voted Altdorf's MVP but I feel drawlien's dice played a far, far bigger roll. Do you see what I did there?
In Other News:
Grayland levelled up and I goy my first ever AG increase. Fuck yeah - a MV 9 AG 4 sprint piece is the bomb-diggity.

In short, I would have felt really sorry for drawlien but he was playing Wood Elves so deserved everything he got.
Anupshi Rises (DogPants, Khe) 1 - 1 Dandy-Lions (DeekyFun, HElf)
Under a blazing sun the two teams square up to each other for the second time in as many seasons, with the lumbering Khemri receiving. Anupshi Rises play a typical fighting and caging game, but the Dandy-Lions prove to be surprisingly effective at going toe-to-toe and take the sting out of the offensive drive at the half way line. The majority of the first half is spent as a scrum with neither team making headway save for a few players off the pitch on both sides. A last minute blitz, though, sees the ball free and the High Elves making a break with it, but it isn't enough and the game is still without a touchdown at the end of the first half.
When the teams take to the field again the attrition of the last half has taken its toll and sees the Dandy-Lions two men short for their lineup. Trying to lure their opponents, the Elves break for the flanks while the ball handler backpedals. The defenders break into three, chasing the flanking runners and sending a couple of men forward to harry the Elven thrower. The plan works, and even while the Dandy-Lions start to wither on the flanks under the assault of the numerically superior and stronger Khemri, a couple of runners get through on either side. Meanwhile the ball-carrier easily outmanoeuvres his pursuers and makes a pass. The Anupshi defenders are again fooled as they rush for the dashing runners only for the ball to land with a stray Blitzer further back. Unable to react with any speed, the skeletal defenders can only watch as the Elven Blitzer trots in the game's first touchdown.
With less than a quarter of the game left the High Elves face the task of holding out against a full strength fighting team with only eight men. Anupshi Rises, on the other hand, face the task of carrying the ball fast enough to score. The badly depleted defence proves too frail, though, as the offence smashes through their right flank and ties down the front line with overwhelming numbers. The Anupshi Thro-Ra careens out of his cage like a cannonball and is barely inconvenienced by a valiant but unsuccessful long range dash by a breaking Elven Blocker. The game ends with one touchdown apiece, and a network synch failure. Thanks Cyanide.
On the subject of the synch disconnect then, DeekyFun saw the end game results, I didn't. Hopefully that means the game was recorded, but I assume we won't find out until an admin gets to look at it.

Div 5: Lucky Lycanthropes vs. The Longitudinal Life
The match started off with Ritashi's team receiving the kick; he caught the ball with the aid of a quick snap, ran around the side of the defence, and scored a typically elfy 2-turner. Only one block even thrown, for a KO'd zombie. The Lycanthropes received on their own second turn, and promptly lost a turn due to a failed pickup. The elves punched a hole, and promptly ran a blitzer downfield to pick up the ball. The necros finally managed to get a dice roll their way, KO'ing the blitzer, before misclicking a move and throwing their turn away on a golem-dodge. The elves proceeded to BH a werewolf, getting cover on the ball, though not picking it up. And then the dice went the necros' way, as they KO'd three more elves and got some players near the ball. Until the elves punched away the ghouls, picked up the ball, and ran another TD in. 2-0. So the Lycanthropes received again on turn 5, with the elves kicking a deep corner ball AND getting a Blitz! This start went a little better though; the ghoul actually picked up the ball, and the necros got some meager defenses in front of him, injuring an elf catcher in the process. The elves followed up with a dodge->1D block against the blodging ball carrier...and knocked him down, sending the ball out of bounds. The throw-in landed squarely in the middle of the necros' half, though, allowing them to recover it and finally get a cage up. The next turn, a Strip Ball elf Leaped in, knocked the ball loose; it bounced off a zombie, where another elf dodged free, grabbed the ball, dodged away, and scored. turn 7, 3-0. Wat. The elves proceeded to Blitz! again. Wat. Then a flesh golem both-downed, ending the turn. An elf ran back, grabbed the ball, scored again. 4-0. Wat.
Right. Second half, chance to turn things around. (Nah, I'm kidding, I just wanted to murder some elves, and maybe get 1 TD for pride's sake). The necros received the ball, made a cage, KO'd another elf. Stunned the Leaper who ruined the last drive. Promptly got the cage cracked open, and a wight KO'd. The ball carrier held on, though, and the next turn dodged out, handed off to a werewolf, and saw a touchdown run in. 4-1. The elves took the next kick deep to their own backfield, while the necros lined up to try and mash any elves they could get their hands on. But no luck; the elves shoved away a single defender, then made a graceful pass and ran it in. 5-1.
The final drive saw the necros get shoved all over the field, with Ritashi wisely preventing another attempt at the werewolf-as-receiver play and the elves (finally) fumbling a pass to miss a turn 16 TD.
Lucky Lycanthropes 1 - 5 The Longitudinal Life
Well and gracefully played, by Ritashi! He managed his (fiendish) elves with terrific skill; I suspect I would still have lost, without the thorough Nuffling. But Nuffle also threw in with Ritashi's team (and I made more than my usual share of misclicks, too). Clearly payback for two seasons ago, when the Lycanthropes literally tore apart every team they played. Nuffle giveth and Nuffle taketh away. Great game! But man alive, I got destroyed. Good luck, Kapouille!

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - Ranked #8 in the NAIA, The Master's College Lady Mustangs, led by assistant coach Sean Carter, defeated San Diego Christian College (4-11, 2-5 GSAC) Saturday night in three sets (25-20, 25-21, 25-16). Head coach Bobby Blanken was absent with his wife Sarah, as the two were welcoming their newborn daughter to the world.
In the first set, the Mustangs and the Hawks traded leads, but TMC prevailed and won the first set 25-20. Of the Mustangs' collective 42 kills of the evening, 16 of them were produced in the first set.
The Mustangs maintained their lead in the final two stanzas. Ending game two with a score of 25-21 and the third at 25-16, the evening's match concluded bringing TMC's overall record to 19-3 and 5-2 in conference play.
When asked about the game, Carter responded, "the girls did a great job tonight, executing the game plan that [Coach Blanken] had drawn up for us... I'm super excited that he got to watch some of the match online. We are excited about the team's ranking, I think it's the highest the team has been. We have aspirations to be in the top tier; we can do it with the way we played tonight."
Leaders in tonight's game against the Hawks were Sam Dougherty (Madera, CA) with 12 kills, and Britney Jones (Northridge, CA) with seven. TMC claimed three blocks and finished with an attack percentage of .365 against SDCC as well.
The Mustangs will now take a breather and rest as their next scheduled match is October 16th against La Sierra University Golden Eagles. Match time is scheduled for 7:00 PM in Riverside.

A former Cross Hills student is hoping to publish a travel guide for disabled people visiting the 2016 Paralympic Games in Brazil.
Emily Yates was a Gamesmaker volunteer at the 2012 Paralympics in London and so inspired Lord Sebastian Coe during the Games that she was mentioned in his speech at the closing ceremony.
Following that praise, the 20-year-old, who has cerebral palsy and has been in a wheelchair since the age of nine, has been equally inspired to do something to empower other disabled people in the lead-up to the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.
"It would be nice to do something to represent disabled people," said Emily, who attended South Craven School.
Emily, an experienced traveller herself, said she used travel guides to get around but admitted they included only very limited information for people with a disability.
"Ideally, I'd like it to be a book that would include reviews on hotels, restaurants, public transport and general information on helping people to get around," she said. "And, hopefully, this will allow people to experience the buzz and vibe of the Paralympic Games."
Emily got the chance to meet Lord Coe again and promote her idea when the two appeared on BBC programme The One Show in early December.
"It was brilliant to see Seb again and he supported what I'm doing," said Emily, who hopes he might write the foreword for the book if it is published.
Emily, now a student at the Queen Mary Univer-sity of London, said her idea was in the "very, very early stages", and that she would require funding to help get it off the ground. She is due to meet officials from the British Paralympic Association this month to pitch the idea to them.
Emily said if she gets backing for the book, she could spend the next couple of years developing it.

Ghostlight Records Releases NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY Original Cast Recording Today
Ghostlight Records has announced the debut digital release of the Original Cast Recording of the acclaimed musical No Way To Treat A Lady today, December 18. The show has music, lyrics and book by Douglas J. Cohen, adapted from the novel by William Goldman (Marathon Man, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid), which became a renowned movie.
The recording is based on the 1996 Off-Broadway revival at the York Theatre Company directed by Scott Schwartz and starring Adam Grupper, Paul Schoeffler, Alix Korey, and Marguerite MacIntyre. It was nominated for a Drama Desk Award and two Outer Critics Circle Awards (Best Revival and Best Featured Actress). Plans are underway for a Broadway production with an all-star cast.
No Way To Treat A Lady is a theatrically-charged musical comedy thriller about a publicity crazed actor turned killer and the endearing detective who pursues him. It is a devilish blend of humor, romance and murder with four meaty roles, two requiring great versatility: the killer adopts a myriad of disguises including a tango instructor, French waiter, female barfly and priest while one actress plays the detective's mother, the killer's mother and three of his victims.
Since the York Theatre Company revival, No Way To Treat A Lady has had significant productions at The Colony Theatre in Los Angeles, Signature Theatre in Washington DC, the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami, Barrington Stage Company in The Berkshires, Lyric Stage of Boston, Phoenix Theatre in Arizona, The Cape Playhouse in Cape Cod, a return engagement to the Florida Studio Theatre in 2002, a critically acclaimed production at Theatreworks in Hartford, a 2012 tour in Sweden, an award-winning production in Barcelona (winner of Best Musical), productions in Germany, a six-month tour in Italy (entitled Serial Killer Per Signora), as well as productions at the Darlinghurst Theatre in Australia, the Talk is Free Theatre in Ontario, and an acclaimed production in Amsterdam. No Way To Treat A Lady has been translated into six languages including German, Swedish, Dutch, Italian, and Catalan - and soon Turkish.
No Way To Treat A Lady premiered off-Broadway in a sold-out, extended run at the Hudson Guild Theatre in 1987 directed by Tony Award winner Jack Hofsiss and starring Stephen Bogardus, Liz Callaway, Peter Slutsker and June Gable.
Douglas J. Cohen is the recipient of the Fred Ebb Award for Musical Theatre Songwriting, two Richard Rodgers Awards (No Way To Treat A Lady and The Gig), a Jonathan Larson Grant (Barnstormer), a Drama Desk nomination (Children's Letters To God), the Gilman & Gonzalez-Falla Theatre Foundation Award, and the inaugural Noël Coward Prize (The Gig). Other musicals include The Opposite of Sex (Williamstown Theatre Festival), The Big Time (with Douglas Carter Beane, NYMF Festival), Glimmerglass (Goodspeed-at-Chester), and the play, Lovely Send Anywhere (a finalist for the inaugural Laurents-Hatcher Award). His latest completed musical, Nine Wives (co-written with Dan Elish), has just been chosen for Goodspeed's Festival of New Artists.

TAMPA, Fla. – Despite a trio of Lions' hitters collecting two hits, the Saint Leo softball team (18-21, 5-5 SSC) fell in the opening game of their Sunshine State Conference series-opener against the University of Tampa (16-10, 7-3 SSC) by the score of 5-3, Wednesday evening from the Tampa Softball Field.
Leading the Lions offensive charge was Jaime Walker as she went 2-for-3 with double and two RBI. Elysha Agen also delivered a double in a 2-for-4 performance, while Tiffinee Harvey roped two singles and scored a run as she went 2-for-4. Brittany Yates and Dianne Gonzalez rounded-out the Lions eight-hit night with a pair of singles.
It was the Spartans that struck first, as they collected two runs on three hits in the opening frame. The big hit came off the bat of Becky Vyvas as her RBI single opened the scoring.
Tampa added to their lead with their second two-run inning of the ballgame in the third inning, Of the three hits surrendered, two were infield singles, one of which led to the Spartans fourth run of the contest.
The Lions remained resilient, however, as they bounced back in the fifth inning with a run of their own. Walker led the inning off with a single and eventually scored on a two-out double by Agen, cutting the Spartans' advantage to three.
Saint Leo kept the offense rolling in the sixth inning, as they platted two runs on three hits. Harvey and Yates singled and Gonzalez walked to load the bases with one out. Walker than stepped to the plate and dropped a two-RBI double into the leftfield ally to cut the Lions' deficit to 4-3.
Unfortunately, the tying and go-ahead runs were left on base as Kari Walsh took to the circle to strikeout the next two batters.
Tampa put the game out of reach in the bottom of the frame as Jessica Tejas sent an RBI single into leftfield to push the score to 5-3. SLU couldn't answer in the final inning as the top of the lineup went down in order.
Ashton Whidden was tagged with the loss as she threw 6.0 innings and allowed 11 hits and five earned runs. Still, the junior matched her season-high in strikeouts with six.
The Lions will conclude their SSC series with Tampa in doubleheader action Thursday afternoon. First pitch is set for 6;00 p.m.

Let me start off by saying that I chose Torrid's White Crochet Fringe Poncho (on sale now), because it's not something that I would normally wear. Remember that whole "trying to more adventurous" New Year's resolution? I thought it was cute and very boho chic. And I thought I'd try it. Even when I put it on I was still unsure. You ladies know how that is right? But, I kept it on and I'm glad I did. It was a nice Spring outfit.
I'm not happy with the angle of the photo, it doesn't show the true length of the fringe and how the poncho sits. I wore it with Torrid's Sophia denim and the Archer Sandal from Dolce Vita. I found the earrings at a small boutique in Las Vegas. What do you think?
Would you wear Torrid's Crochet Fringe Poncho?

Citation: Oltmans-Deardorff, S.E., Fehr, W.R., Shoemaker, R.C. 2012. Marker-assisted selection for elevated concentrations of the a' subunit of B-conglycinin and its influence on agronomic and seed traits of soybean. Crop Science. 53:1-8. Interpretive Summary: Soybean seed contains approximately 40% of high quality protein. Some components of the protein may provide health benefits to soybean protein consumers. A mutant was discovered that has elevated concentrations of a particularly good subunit. In this study the authors identified and tested molecular markers that will help soybean breeders select for the elevated protein subunit without going through the costly biochemical analyses to select for improved lines. The authors also evaluated 16 combinations of gene mutations to determine the impact of the subunit variants on yield and soybean vigor. They determined that it is possible to breed for the elevated subunit with no cost to yield. This information will be used by breeders interested in improving the quality of soybean protein.
Technical Abstract: Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars with elevated concentrations of the a' subunit of ß-conglycinin (BC) may provide health benefits to soy protein consumers. Two Monsanto single nucleotide polymorphism markers were used to classify F2 plants in four segregating populations as having elevated a' (EAP) or normal a' (NAP) concentrations. Seeds from one F3 progeny of each F2 plant were analyzed for protein composition by sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Of the 800 plants in the four populations evaluated with the two markers, 82% were correctly classified for the EAP trait and 80% for the NAP trait. The EAP and NAP traits were evaluated in combination with the four glycinin genotypes gy1,2, Gy3, gy4, Gy5; gy1,2, Gy3, gy4, gy5; gy1,2, gy3, gy4, Gy5; and gy1,2, gy3, gy4, gy5. The seed yield, time of maturity, and protein and oil concentration were evaluated for 18 F3:5 lines in each of the eight genotypic classes of the four populations at three environments in 2011. The EAP trait resulted in a significant increase in the a' and ß subunits of BC and a decrease in the a' subunit, with no consistent impact on total BC, total glycinin, seed yield, maturity, and protein and oil concentrations. It should be possible to develop acceptable soybean cultivars that have the EAP trait in combination with the glycinin genotype gy1,2, gy3, gy4, gy5 to obtain a high concentration of the a' subunit and total BC with no glycinin for soy-based food products.


text: Hello everyone, I want to start off by saying that this Tennis Stringer I have for sale or trade is very heavy, the Prince P200. It will have to be pickup only for this machine b/c I will not be able to ship it. After I had purchased the machine about 4 years ago I looked up more information about it and when the machine was being sold by authorized dealer in the 90's it was shipped in 4 boxes due to its weight. I have actually never used this machine before. I purchased it b/c it came from a gentleman who's son strung for a local club in the 90's and it came with boxes of string, leather grips and other tennis extra's that I wanted. You could tell that the family took great care of it and it has everything. The looks of the machine are a 9 out of 10. The machine turns on but the compressor stays on and I do not know how to work the machine and have never tried b/c I have always had multiple other crank machines I have used. As far as I am aware the air compressor should turn off once the machine is on b/c the air compressor becomes full of air. I have only ever turned it on for a few minutes so maybe I just did not give it enough time to fill. Here are some pics. I am in Columbus, Ohio. What is included is the following: There are many pieces to the machine that will be included: 4 glide bars Prince F plastic piece for mounting (2), I plastic piece for mounting (2), Prince C plastic piece for mounting, Prince D plastice piece for mounting, Prince B plastic piece for mounting, Prince J plastic piece for mounting, Prince E plastic piece for mounting, Prince K plastic piece for mounting (3), and Prince A plastic peice for mounting of frame. 2 red and 1 black Gamma Stencil Ink. 3 sets of string from the 90's. 2 are Prince Nylon racquet String 15L Gauge and 1 is Prince Synthetic 15L Guage. 17 Time to Restring stickers to write the date of the string job, string type and tension for your client and stick on the inside of the throat of the racquet so your client will have the details of their last string job available when they go to restring again. 2 packs of Prince Precision Graphite Racquet Replacement grommets. 4 Replacement Prince Butt Caps that are of different sizes. WINN ABSORB-MOR professional disposable grip tape from the 90's. 4 pieces of grip tape to tape down undergrip or overgrips and 1 gamma rubber piece to place on the top of the grip near the throat on your racquet. http://s5.postimage.org/fc4bhkjfr/IMG_5012.jpg http://s5.postimage.org/qczgmlbon/IMG_5011.jpg http://s5.postimage.org/une4i6grr/IMG_5006.jpg I can be contacted at email@example.com Thanks -Shawn

DETROIT - Richard Bernstein has spent his career championing the causes of the disabled, and he is not letting severe injuries from an accident involving a cyclist stop him from continuing his work.
Bernstein was in New York in August training for his 18th marathon.
He had decided to take one last stroll through New York's Central Park before flying home.
"I was at the bottom of a very steep hill, very steep, so that's why the police estimated that the cyclist was going at a speed of 35 miles an hour, because he was going at full speed on a very steep decline and what unfortunately happened was he veered into the pedestrian lane of the park," said Bernstein.
The cyclist hit Bernstein from behind. Bernstein shattered his hip, his pelvis and part of his femur.
He also suffered damage to his teeth and cuts to his face that required plastic surgery.
Bernstein spent 10 weeks at Mount Sinai hospital in New York city then continued rehabilitation and therapy. He spent much of his recovering without the use of pain medication. Bernstein said being blind made treating him for his injuries a little more complicated.
"You have to be lucid when you're blind," said Bernstein. Unlike a sighted person who can see where they are going, Bernstein needs to rely on his other senses to get around. So to remain lucid he had to find ways other than medication to cope with the pain. "Lucidity was absolutely paramount for safety purposes because if you take one fall or if something happens, even if they're carrying you, you know, you're done," he said.
Despite the long recovery and a future of chronic pain, Bernstein feels strongly he was destined to have this accident. "The reason I believe that this is so important, why this happened to me, is that God gave me the ability to do something about it. And that's why I am not going to just accept this as a tragedy," said Bernstein.
Bernstein filed a federal lawsuit against the city of New York claiming the city is in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The lawsuit claims Central Park is inaccessible to the blind and others who are handicapped because the city doesn't enforce rules for bicyclists and doesn't have adequate pedestrian signals. Bernstein is not asking for money, but changes to make the park safer. He hopes this lawsuit will lead to changes and improvements at parks across the country.
Local 4 asked the city of New York about the lawsuit and received the following statement from the NYC Law Department: "We believe that the lawsuit is defective in several respects. First and most important is the fact that the complaint is wrong in stating that the City is violating the ADA. However, before that question can be reached, the case must be presented to the proper court. Because that court is in New York and not in Michigan we have moved to have the case dismissed. We requested that Mr. Bernstein voluntarily transfer the case to the proper court, but he refused." While Bernstein is upset with the city, he does not hold any ill will against the cyclist who hit him.
"It was just an accident and he was genuinely a nice person, who was, you know, incredibly remorseful about the situation," said Bernstein. "I told him, 'You totally have my forgiveness on this,' and I told him, I said, 'I don't want you to worry about it, I don't want you to think about it, and I don't want this to be the kind of thing that encumbers your life and that bothers you as you move through your day,'" he said. Bernstein remains positive and admits that it's not always an easy task.
"I grieve for my old self. I grieve for the fact that, you know, I loved running 13 miles a day and that was the thing that kind of gave me m greatest joy and the greatness happiness," said Bernstein.
Bernstein decided against having several surgeries that would have put screws and other hardware in his body because it could have kept him from running again.
"You wouldn't be able to do athletic competition the way I love doing it.
So what they said was, this was going to be a very painful process that you're going to go through and it's going to take a long time, but we're going to do certain things to help your body heal.," said Bernstein.
He has run 17 marathons and one Ironman competition. He said the training for those races is helping him heal from these injuries.
"Your body is accustomed to going through kind of getting broken down. The muscles are used to getting broken down, the ligaments, the tendons, the bones are used to it. So the body over that period has actually kind of retained the memory and has actually learned how to heal,' said Bernstein. The attorney has set quite a goal for his recovery.
"I will be doing the Free Press half marathon in October and I will be doing the full ING New York city marathon in November," said Bernstein. "That will happen. I will make this happen."

Double Rope Facts
I understand the designations for ropes and the corresponding limitations for their use, but am confused about double (half) ropes. I get that they are supposed to be clipped individually into your pro, never together, yada-yada. Here's my problem: you're on a route that has a big traverse and you're clipping the same rope (of your two doubles) into your gear. After a couple of placements clipped into the same rope, aren't you essentially using your double rope as a single? If you fall, and you've only clipped one of your doubles to your last piece of pro, all your force is on the one rope. What gives?
If you alternate clips, it defeats the rope-drag purpose the doubles are so helpful at reducing, but that's what I've been doing. It's also a pain with rope management, always checking to see if your ropes are crossed.
Pat Seay | via rockandice.com
I've always wondered that very thing and now have the perfect opportunity to use you as my stooge to get an answer. According to Jim Ewing, the product engineer for Sterling Rope, the old UIAA half-rope standard was to drop test it with an 80 kg weight. If the rope withstood that drop, it passed. But some smart guy later determined that the 80-kg weight, which was the same used to test single ropes, didn't produce enough rope data to be accurate -- they needed more drop tests to produce more data to provide better numbers. So, they reduced the weight to 55-kg and raised the drop-test standard to five.
The critical bit of knowledge is that five drops with a 55-kg weight has the same overall mass value as one drop with an 80-kg weight. In essence, says Ewing, a certified half rope is rated as a one-fall single rope. Don't, however, believe that a double rope can be used as a single -- take one hard fall on a single strand and it's time to retire it.
Ewing also notes other considerations. A fall from a traverse generally yields a very low fall factor. If you placed pro at the beginning of the traverse, you'll simply swing. If you fall onto gear placed before the traverse, you'll have a lot of rope out relative to the distance you'll fall vertically, netting the low fall factor. Impact forces resulting from a fall from a traverse will be well south of the rating of the [half] rope, says Ewing.How you choose to clip and arrange the ropes while traversing is your call. Every situation is different and requires some craftiness to keep everything running smoothly and safely. Always watch out for sharp edges when you are traversing, as ropes are more likely to be cut in swinging falls than straight-down plunges.

One of the most "popular" bugs in my bug queue has been FB-23023. Essentially, if you're using Snow Leopard with Flash Builder and your window is on a secondary monitor, the line numbers in code editors stop scrolling. That's a pretty annoying bug for someone who just bought a shiny new Macbook and hooked up an external monitor.
Luckily, the folks at Eclipse.org were able to narrow down the issue and referenced the fix that was applied for the future 3.6 release.
And to top it off, Rick Winscot went out of his way to build a patch that's easily applied to standalone and plugin installations of Flash Builder. Thanks, Rick!
Update: To run Flash Builder with the -clean option, do the following:
- Open a terminal window
- Right click on "Adobe Flash Builder 4.app", show package contents
- Expand Contents > MacOS
- Drag and drop "Adobe Flash Builder 4" to the terminal window
- Add " -clean"

The M5 southbound is currently closed between J1 and J2 between West Bromwich and Oldbury after two lorries crashed this morning.
Diversions are in place but the closure has led to delays throughout the area as the crash happened just before 7am.
A Highways Agency spokesman said: "This is due to a serious incident involving a collision and associated extensive diesel spillage.
"Traffic is being diverted following the 'hollow yellow triangle' diversion route symbol, utilising the A457 (Oldbury Road) and the A4034 (Churchbridge)."
The spokesman added: "There are severe delays on the M6 southbound from J11, as well as on both the M5 southbound from the M6, and the M5 northbound from J4 near Frankley services."

I'm still waiting something with straight-up color-configurable backlighting like Alienware laptop keyboards.
I'm still waiting for a keyboard with an curved, split key layout like the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 with mechanical switches and an affordable price. No backlighting required, not sure if all types of MX switches are needed. Could be mail order only, although ability to see and touch it in a store would be great. Reply
Kibbles - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkThe hdmi cables look just like the ones I got from monprice. They're nice. I ended up replacing all my bulky ones with these. These are also the only ones that fit on my SG08. The hdmi port on my pc is partially blocked by the case... I don't know why they put in that lip... Reply
Aikouka - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkThat part of the article piqued my interest! So, I went to NewEgg, and lo and behold, they had them in stock. Not only did they have them in stock, but the 15 foot cable is on sale for $16.99 (at time of writing)!
That's a fantastic deal! I ended up ordering a few cables to "retrofit" my living room. I already have a white variant of the Monoprice RedMere cable, so I'll compare them. Reply
xcomvic - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkI am a big NewEgg fan, and so obviously I have bought some Rosewill things in the past few years. I won't lie, I think some of their stuff is just crap and fail rather quickly after their first use, and many of the reviews on NewEgg will agree. But I think they are going into the right direction with their "budget" cases (so many features with a nice price) and their Mech Keyboards are getting better and better. I already have a Corsair K90, so I won't need one of these, but still, good stuff from Rosewill. I do find that HDMI cable intriguing and will get a few to test them out. Sometimes cheap does not mean crap... Reply

Political Science 327. Black Political Thought
An introduction to African American political and social ideas. Through critical examination of major expressions of that discourse, we hope to arrive at some understanding of the principles, goals and strategies developed by African American women and men. Focus is on major philosophical, theoretical and ideological formulations put forward during the 19th and 20th centuries. In light of the historic and comtemporary problems associated with race, class and gender oppression, we will probe the manner in which these structures of domination and exploitation have differentially and similarly impacted the lives of black women and men.

"The invitation was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The image I created on my computer is the exact image I received. They are printed on sturdy paper with amazing color. The bride-to-be loves them and said they are beautiful. Her approval is really all I needed"
"Amazing invitations for my sister's bachelorette party! Every other site had cheap looking invitations but these were fantastic. They shipped fast and were exactly what I wanted. So impressed with the quality! I chose a style that were postcards which looked great. They confirm your order before shipping which is another bonus!"
"This card matched our Kentucky Champagne theme beautifully for our lovely bachelorette! The quality, colors, gold envelopes and delivery were perfect. Highly recommend."
"Creating the card was easy, and the designers were quick to make edits. They turned out beautifully! However, when the package arrived, it only contained the envelopes. So sad! Customer service was super nice and I received the reprinted invitations a few days later."
"I was looking for something simple within the black and gold theme and found this. Super easy to customize and the best part was that it's a postcard so I didn't have to buy envelopes! It showed up way before the estimated arrival date, which was great. And I could include a little message on the back for the guests. Perfect!"

Governor Steve Beshear today announced that Kentucky has been named as one of seven states to participate in a two-year pilot program to train future teachers.
The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) created the Network for Transforming Educator Preparation (NTEP) to help states ensure all new teachers are ready on the first day of their careers to prepare their students for college, work and life.
The network will use successful practices used in several states to influence policies affecting teacher preparation and licensing. These policies may also influence training for school administrators, such as principals.
"Kentucky has long been a leader in education reform, thanks in large part to our enthusiastic and adaptive workforce of dedicated educators," Gov. Beshear said. "Students learn best from well-prepared and well-trained teachers. The work of this pilot project supports our commitment to Kentucky's children to provide them with a world-class education and to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed today and as our workforce of tomorrow."
Over the next two years, the NTEP states will work with educators, training programs, colleges and universities, and school districts to improve the way states prepare the teacher workforce.
Education Commissioner Terry Holliday served on the CCSSO Task Force on Educator Preparation and Entry into the Profession, which developed a report and 10 recommendations.
"If we want to ensure our students receive a world-class education and graduate college/career-ready, we cannot ignore the importance of teacher preparation," said Commissioner Holliday. "With the new Kentucky Core Academic Standards in English, mathematics and science, we're expecting more of our students and teachers, so it is imperative we prepare our teachers to model and develop in students the knowledge and skills to think critically and creatively, solve real world problems, collaborate, and take ownership of their own learning."
Kentucky and the six other states -- Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Massachusetts and Washington -- are joined by 17 national organizations committed to support the states' efforts to accelerate change in educator preparation and entry into the profession.
"It is no surprise that Kentucky was selected to participate in this pilot," said Education Professional Standards Board Executive Director Robert Brown. "The objectives of the recommendations established by the CCSSO help guide transformations currently underway in Kentucky, as well as building upon recent initiatives to improve every aspect of educator preparation in the Commonwealth."
CCSSO released "Our Responsibility, Our Promise --Transforming Educator Preparation and Entry into the Profession" in December 2012. The report was developed collaboratively by state education chiefs and representatives of the National Governor's Association and the National Association of State Boards of Education to identify key areas they can change to ensure every teacher and principal is ready on day one to help all students meet raised expectations.
"States across the nation have raised expectations for students and that means that we have a responsibility to ensure that educators are prepared to help all students graduate ready for careers, college and lifelong learning," said Chris Minnich, CCSSO executive director. "These seven states are among those on the leading edge of making substantive changes in the policy and practice of educator preparation. These states aren't taking a piecemeal approach; rather they are creating a coherent system by addressing three key policy areas that shape this work."

Unlike some of its competitors, it actually tastes like beef, and it has a pleasing snap all its own.

Gear inches
Gear Inches
Gears are still measured in inches, and whilst it may seem antiquated to refer all gearing arrangements (including hub gears) back to the penny farthing's directly driven wheel, it's a very simple calculation that gives us an easy way to compare all sorts of pedal cycles.
To calculate gear size you enter the diameter (in inches) of the actual wheel, and the numbers of teeth on the front chainwheel and rear sprocket, into the following formula:
Gear = Wheel × Chainwheel ÷ Sprocket
You probably know the diameter of your wheel in inches already. If not, you'll find that information in the table on our Tyre Sizes page. To be certain take a look there anyway: some wheels commonly assumed to be 26 inches diameter are actually less than 25!
If you've got MS-Excel on your computer you may wish to download these gear charts. The first one can be tailored to your precise wheel size and printed out. There are also nominal tables for 27, 26, 24, 20 and 16in wheels.
You will sometimes read that the size of a gear in inches is the distance travelled with each turn of the pedals. THAT IS NOT TRUE. Gear inches give the equivalent diameter of the wheel. To get the distance travelled you must multiply gear inches by π (3.14).
In some other countries they do indeed describe cycle gearing in terms of the distance travelled per turn of the pedals, which is called the gear development and measured in metres. This might seem like a more useful quantity; but any measure will do for comparisons. And besides: the inches come in easy whole numbers!
If you'd nevertheless prefer to "do the continental" first you need to know the circumference, in metres, of your wheel. You'll also find that in the table on our Tyre Sizes page. But if you'd rather measure it: extend at least 2m of a steel tape on the floor; stand your bike beside the tape with the rear wheel tyre valve at the bottom exactly adjacent to the start of the tape; trundle it forwards until the valve is at the bottom again and read the adjacent distance off the tape.
Now you've got the wheel circumference, in metres, you can use it to set your bike computer or put it into the formula I gave earlier (instead of wheel diameter) to calculate the development of each of your gears. In the following examples the metres development is given in brackets after the gear inches.
How many inches (metres)?
Novice and infrequent cyclists – even those who are quite fit and strong through some other activity – find it difficult to pedal quickly and prefer to push hard at a slow cadence of 60rpm or so. For this reason all mass-produced bicycles come with rather high top gears of around 100in (8m) and some customers ask for even higher ones! Resist this temptation. With practice the leg muscles naturally develop a quicker and more efficient cadence, but it helps if you know in advance that this is supposed to happen. Try to pedal at 90rpm (left-right-left in one second) and you'll soon have little use for the top gear your bike came with.
Here's another gearing formula you may find of interest:
Speed(mph) = Gear(in) × Cadence (rpm) ÷ 336
Pedal a 100in gear at 90rpm and you'll do 27mph. Few people are fit enough to sustain such a speed except downhill or with a following wind; in which case they might as well freewheel and save energy for the next uphill! (If you want that formula in metric: kmph speed and metres development, multiply by 6% instead of dividing by 336.)
At least three of your gears, and preferably four or five, should lie between 40in and 70in (3m to 6m). These will be your most used gears and hence should be easy to shift between: i.e. all on the same chainwheel. I'll say more about the spacing of gears later.
If you want to be able to ride up steep or long hills you will appreciate something much lower and any touring or mountain-bike worthy of the name will have a small inner chainwheel and largest rear sprocket, which together give a bottom gear of about 25in (2m). Do not assume that it will be quicker to walk up hills than pedal very low gears. It is not easy to push a loaded bicycle up a steep hill at 3mph, but most people can ride at this speed without wobbling. To do so while maintaining a moderate cadence of 70rpm would require a 14in (1m) gear, which is off the bottom of most gear tables. So don't worry about gearing too low: it's virtually impossible.
You might have seen it written that gears should be spaced so that each jump is the same number of inches. Whatever may be the merits of this scheme it does not give constant gear intervals. To get that you want equal percentage jumps between gears. Most ready-made freewheels and cassettes are designed this way: with differences of only one or two teeth between the smaller sprockets, increasing in stages to three, four, five or even six teeth at the bottom.
The suggestion that you have four gears between 40in and 70in implies 15% jumps, which is quite close enough for touring and off-road use. Even jumps of 25% are acceptable – especially between the topmost and lowest gears. Finer tuning (10% or less) is needed only for fast riding in a group, i.e. racing.

Adnan Oktar: Within the secular system, I am in favor of communicating the message of Islam and living by it. I think that everyone will be at ease with it because in a community there are also the irreligious, JEWISH and CHRISTIANS. THEY ALSO HOLD RIGHTS. THEY ARE ALSO FIRST CLASS CITIZENS and indeed there are various denominations. For instance there are the Alawites, Jaferites; they are all our brothers. We feel profound compassion for all of them and our hearts would not accept them to suffer. In such a distinction of denominations, I consider Alawites, Jaferites, all of them as one. That is I consider all of them as brothers. Only the People of the Book are the People of Book as is specified in the Qur'an. But they are also our brothers as is stated in the Qur'an, they are our friends. They also have their respective law. We need to live with them with a bond of love and friendship.

This is heavy bike rack, but it is solid. It has one of the best bike securing systems of any rack that I have seen. It is a very good value. The negatives are that it has separate keys that secure the bike in the rack and the rack to the hitch, the cable is a little short and the screw-in hitch pin requires a wrench. Did I say that it is heavy? If you plan to regularly install it and uninstall it, it can be cumbersome with the weight and the hitch pin. Overall a good buy
