Cena turning heel would not have anywhere near the impact Hogan would, let alone doing it in TNA. TNA in general doesn't need to compete with WWE, and Cena by himself wouldn't get them there anyway.
Lets say when Cena's contract ends(Whenever that is) with WWE, he decides he wants a lighter work scheudle and doesn't want to be on the road as much. If he signed with TNA, would that finally push TNA to the next level and be able to compete with WWE? I know for me, that would be the only way I would really watch TNA.
TNA build Cena up only to turn him heel( I know that would be too much WCW/Hogan like.) and have it done his own way. Maybe build up to a Cena vs Sting at BFG and have the
storyline being that Sting announces his retirment because he can trust the company in Cena's hands. While having Cena do his same old character from WWE leading up to BFG. Then during the match Cena turns heel by cheating. Another way is, he could beat Sting after a hell of a match. Then after words act like he wants to shake Sting's hand and gives him the F-U. Then have Cena have this "I'm bigger than TNA" attitude.
I think that would be pretty cool.

No, just no... as someone who dislikes John Cena I would hate to see him come to TNA.

The only thing I'd be interested in seeing is if Chavo would change his tune and kiss his ass if Cena came to TNA.
Hogans but it would still be pretty big. And I'm just saying what if he did not saying he would or is.
There is no one star that can make that type of a turn around for TNA. Especially if Jeff Hardy couldn't make a big change. He was one of the most if not the most popular star when he left the WWE. And he hasn't made that big of an impact.
Plus no one buy another Sting retirement. It would make it like the fifth time he would have hinted toward it.

I'd rather see Randy Orton in TNA. He'd be a better fit... and I think he could make a 'I'm bigger and better than this fuckin' company' heel gimmick work.
plus in the sheer fact that Cena being a believable heel in TNA, would be something WWE could never do.
i agree, it would be a big draw, just given the fact that people try to act like "nobody since Hogan has been a big of a icon as John Cena"
Except the Rock... and maybe Steve Austin...Originally Posted by Raven Zombie
I don't think Cena going to TNA would be that big of a deal. I'm sure he has a 60 or 90 day no compete clause in his contract and if he were to jump than we would all know about it well in advance. But if this were like the Monday Night Wars where guys jumped from one show to the other without warning, than I think it could have a much larger impact.
Cena going too TNA when he leaves wwe is not really a huge deal. If he was a megastar like Hogan was back in the day then maybe he could get TNA too the next level. But right now cena is not really a household name and he is not a pop icon like hogan was. And he wont reach the level off Austin or Hogan. He will probably just wrestle non stop till his body breaks down. Then we will have a new top guy.
no..no no...
we will not even entertain this. TNA is doing bad enough as it is...they dont need Cena hogging the little wrestling airtime they give us.
Thank you Surrender!!!

Some of you guys gotta remember that the WWE would do everything in its power to devalue the hell out of John Cena's name. I'm not sure even he could overcome those odds.
(I'm trying really hard not to just come out and say Cena sucks...)
John Cena is WWE for life, and he is smart enough to realize that.

By the time Cena makes it to TNA he's in his mid 50's , can't work and is drawing money off of his name...there's no way he will leave WWE in his prime...

Single and smiling in the city!
A radiant Blake Lively put her best foot forward in NYC on Wednesday, the day after Us Weekly broke news of her split from Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Gossip Girl actress, 24, stopped by the Renaissance Hotel in Manhattan to check out their "Dare to Check In" Halloween room, a "scary" themed room that Renaissance guests can check into at locations nationwide during this season.
"She is super into Halloween. That's why she [came to the preview]," an observer told Us, adding that Lively was in a "fun" mood and even read tarot cards for one fellow attendee. "I was impressed!"
"She did not seem fazed by Leo at all," the witness adds.
Although the pair had been hot and heavy since kicking off their romance in Europe in May, the Oscar-nominated DiCaprio is "looking for someone to eventually start a family with," one pal told Us. "That's not where she's at. She's only 24!"
Added another source: "He's more mature. They're not in the same place right now."

Fantasy Beat
Hot Spots: Catcher, Second Base, and Shortstop
The Changes
There are some drastic changes in the Value Picks portfolio thanks to some playing time shifts and a proud VP graduation. Leaving our portfolio for playing time reasons are Bill Hall and John Jaso. Hall was the primary replacement for Dustin Pedroia since Pedroia's foot injury. However, with the return of Jed Lowrie to the active roster, Hall has lost a good deal of playing time. With his lackluster defense and hit-or-miss style at the plate, the Red Sox have opted for more of a time-share at second base, with the defensively-superior Lowrie receiving the better half. Meanwhile, Jaso has lost playing time enough playing time at catcher to be on the short end of a platoon with Kelly Shoppach. While Jaso remains likely the better offensive option at this point, the split in playing time, combined with his lack of power or other outstanding fantasy category, eats at his fantasy value. The lone graduate from VP is the very successful Neil Walker, who continues to impress batting at the top of the Pittsburgh lineup. He hit a well-balanced .304/.360/.565, displaying some of the anticipated power by hitting two homers. Now that ESPN mixed leaguers own him 23.0% of leagues, Walker graduates from VP in high style.
Replacing these players are two options who benefited from recent trade deadline moves. Chris Snyder was mentioned last week as a trade deadline beneficiary, as he was sure to move at the deadline given his contract and Arizona's salary-dump mentality this trade season. No one expected the Pittsburgh Pirates to acquire Snyder, figuring a more competitive team with catcher needs would snatch up the 29-year old. However, Huntington snatched him up for spare parts and will have him potentially through the 2012 season at a decent price. Snyder resided in the VP portfolio earlier in the season when he replaced Miguel Montero due to injury. His game remains the same now that he has a full-time catching job in Pittsburgh: Snyder can hit for decent power (career .169 ISO) and walks a lot (career 12.5% BB%) to maintain a decent OBP despite a perenially poor AVG. Pittsburgh's incumbent catcher, Ryan Doumit, should be coming off the DL soon, but Snyder is in no danger of losing PT; Doumit will play first base and corner outfield when he returns, keeping Snyder entrenched at catcher. If you can handle the AVG, the power boost and the consistent playing time should be decent for NL-only teams looking to fill in at the catcher position.
The other addition to the VP list is Adam Kennedy, who was the primary beneficiary of the Cristian Guzman deal to the Texas Rangers. Kennedy took over the second base position full-time and finished this past week batting .316/.350/.368. Overall for July, Kennedy hit an AVG-heavy .345/.400/.400, bringing his season line from .238/.317/.319 to its current .263/.335/.336. That season performance itself, complete with a complete lack of power, is not very impressive, but Kennedy does make up some of that value with his prowess on the basepaths. In this season, Kennedy has attempted a steal in 11.4% of all of his potential stolen base opportunities, converting in 12 of 13 attempts. Given that he was doing this while playing part-time and pinch-running, it is not a stretch to expect a continuation of his base-swiping ways now that he is playing full-time. If your NL team is looking for steals, Kennedy may be one of the few available sources; he is currently owned in just 2.6% of ESPN leagues.
The Incumbents
The remaining incumbents struggled this past week. Neither Mark Ellis nor Cliff Pennington impressed in the past week, helping contribute to a poor offensive week for the Oakland A's (.233/.290/.297 as a team). Ellis dropped his AVG a full ten points with a 2-for-19 week, while Pennington eked out four walks but only two hits in an otherwise poor hitting week (2-for-12). With both players' playing times secure, however, both should deliver respectable counting stats and a decent contribution in either AVG (Ellis) or steals (Pennington). Felipe Lopez had a poor .214/.290/.214 week but remains entrenched in the St. Louis lineup, assured plenty of opportunities batting at the top of the lineup card. Lopez is holding the third base position for David Freese, who had begun work in rehab assignments coming back from his sprained ankle. However, Freese came out of his first rehab game with a strained left leg which might complicate matters and keep Lopez' PT at third base entirely secure.

"Europe" is nothing but a Jewish Superstate that created by the Jewish Banking Dynasties [All Jew Blooded, Baruchs, Rothschilds etc] in order to steal Race and State Sovereignity and put people under total and full control, with the ultimate object to biologically wipe them out. Don't wonder why London and other places were taken over, or why people with murderous intent do actually have a hand in "Politics". It was part of "THE PLAN".
While the larger purpose remains to enslave the whole planet and establish the "Kingdom of Israel", this is done in gradual steps. As for the European Jewnion, the ultimate purpose, it is and was, and certainly will be as long as this place exists, European Genocide. Adolf Hitler knew of their plans long before all of this and made a heroic intervention to unmask this previously unknown global clique. So this clique waged a world war against Him and his people, in order to destroy them. This didn't stop there, though, even after all the dead people of jewish instigated WW2.
"European" Union of Jews against Gentiles, Brexit etc:
The jewish Banking Dynasties do what they always did best. Secretive International operations and forcing people and Nations through debt, rotten politics, mass media, deficit and other problems, to be forced into the direction that they want. They also used to do the carrot method, but this worked only for a few decades, until this whole thing was revealed for what it was in reality where it bore no fruit whatsover.
The European Union, not to go into a long talk about it, steals the Sovereignity of Nations and basically this is why many people opt to leave now. Most officials who partake in this whole thing are not even elected. They are nothing, but a murderous jewish clique. Except of the funding that goes in furthering the Banking Dynasties, Guiding Europeans to extinction and openly welcoming all sorts of deadly people within its midst, to create the "Kalergi" plan into reality. That of the EXTINCTION and GENOCIDE of White Europe. The European Union is in the end, another Communist party. This had ideally to happen swiftly and before anyone found out.
The root of all these plans can be observed in the Hebrew Torah and the "New Testament" all of which are jewish religious text books that act as guides for the whole of the Jewish Race on what to work and impose on the Goyim (Non Jewish) Slaves. This was done in conjuction with the left, the femmies, the pacifists, and pretty much, everything that was jewish created and instigated. How does this happen so quickly and "globally"? By phonecalls and the international jewish system.
It can't be such a coincidence that the same "movements" that show up and burst in one place of the world, do the same in another place, can it? How can the internet and everything else as well be equally controlled, televisions and everything pushing into the exact same direction? Simply, because we have a jewish system. The jews themselves largely admit it. All of them KNOW. The only one who doesn't know, is the respective Goyim who "Can't digest the information". Millions of millions of jews in positions of power are on the phone everyday to further their global racial slaver oligarchy over the unsuspecting masses.
One of these networks is the Kehillah. Then you have the Sayanim Network and hundreds of othersm such as the Jewish Freemasons and the B'nai Brith. From the excrement of these do hang other "organizations" and many prominent and less known bussisnessmen. All work and are directed from the same central source. There are no "Zionist jews", just jews. As for the jews who are incapable of high usury and leadership, they just reap of from the work of their fellow "Patriarchs" who had ruled their midst since the dawn of their existence. They willingly and happily accept them everytime. There is no rejection in this and even the opposing groups are equally controlled mostly by the same networks. This ensures the "Chosen" don't have any real opposition.
The Kehillah:
The Sayanim Network:
So the most people follow this line and the more they devote fevershly in order to destroy the White European Continent, they do actually get honor and prizes. Its just jews, Jewing and ruling over the Goyim, robbing their state power, finances, vitality and in the end- their life and biological existence. The Jew "Kazmierczak-Angela Merkel" and many other crypto's and non Crypto's are just the racial oligarchy over Europe, who are loyally following the Ancient Jewish dictates on how to bastardize one's enemies, control them by their finances, and pretty much, going "Torah mode" all over the European Populace. The same goes everywhere else.
Merkel is Jewish:
http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/pixie66 ... ewish_.pdf
As for the Reward of Genocide of Europeans in behalf of Jews:
This is the "Coudenhove-Kalergi" Prize. Most of you here know about this living excrement that holded once this name, and its goal of establishing the European Jewnion in order to actually destroy White Europe and turn it into a dictatorship banking state with "one" mongoloid/black race mix. In their terminology, these were called "Kalergi's Children". The more of these mixed people existed and found home in Europe, the more Europeans that were force to extinction by their policy, the better. This is rewarded as a honorary reward.
More in the words of Kalergi the Jew, who acts in defence of his race. He openly stated Whites must be destroyed and obliterated, in a war against Jewry vs Whites.
G. Brock Chisholm, former director of the World Health Organization (WHO) and a good disciple of Kalergi, said [in 1955]:
"The man of the future will be of mixed race. The races and classes of today will gradually disappear due to the elimination of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-negroid race of the future, similar in appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples and the diversity of individuals. Instead of destroying European Judaism, Europe, against her will, refined and educated this people, driving them to their future status as a leading nation through this artificial evolutionary process."
Note: Space- Time- Prejudice. No "Prejudice" = Feminism, brutal effemination of people and the list goes, allow every kike to be thought of as "equal" and welcome to one's self and one's contry. The results can be evidently be seen. No space- Invasion of the outside Races that multiply endlessly. No time- The jews usher all means in their arsenal to make people toil and work their whole lives, without and significant outcome by slavery. The American Dream was intended by the Satanic Creators of it, to be that people finally liberate themselves after years of successive labor and be able to live and co-exist in their spiritual and menial task of work. Europe being White was supposed to follow in these footsteps. The Jews never allowed this to happen in either country.
The jews destroyed this by Bank-ization of America and through the wizardy of debt. The Goyim must not have ANY freedoms whatsover. Children, Women and Elderly are all and must all be forced to work for a always lessening pennies, or otherwise they will slowly starve to death. The jews are large on child Labor. In many European and American families or states, people are born in hoarding debt. In plain, they ought be forced to work forever to repay this invisible chain placed upon their neck from elder and stupid selfish generations, that didn't bother waging war against the Jew.
This was why the enemy created some years of "peace" after WW2. Not because they are peaceful, like anyone, but to recuperate from damage, increase their powers and push the final march towards world bastardization and Jewish Worldwide Communism. For this to happen, the Races that resisted the Communist advance, such as the Europeans, have to be wiped out. Then the "Long March" is supposed to be successful.
According to the Jew, Karl Marx [Son of A Rabbi], father of Communism and the creator of Communism:
"Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel. [...]In Israel, death has no dominion over them… With gentiles, it will be like any person – they need to die, but [God] will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one's donkey would die, they'd lose their money. [...]This is his servant… That's why he gets a long life, to work well for this Jew. [...] hy are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat… That is why gentiles were created." -Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
The jews remember their primordial purpose is to kill the Whites and to never forget of their constant "war". The jews think and believe that their racial peace will come when everyone else is bastardized and stupid, incapable of revolt, and Whites extinct from the planet. This way, they will be undisputed slaver overlords of the whole mankind. Meanwhile, Whites are oblivious on this relentless war waged against them by the jews.
White Race vs Jews:
As for the Kalergi Prize, there have been people rewarded with it. This also includes Kazmierczak-Angela Merkel in 2010.
Of course, no Goyim is ever going to really know about it. Most don't even know about the European Jewnion; after all to be a Goyim, said the jews, is to be naive and a slave.
More on the Kalergi Plan and Prize:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... c2IN4C2Z5k
President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy. A face that can be trusted, just look at this goblinoid:
"I would like to express my sincerest thanks to the European Society Coudenhove-Kalergi for awarding me the European Prize. It is a great honour for me to be awarded the European Prize for 2012 and I consider it a special honour to receive this prize from your Society. I am conscious of the Society's continuous efforts to promote European integration, and I owe you a debt of gratitude for this work.
I am also aware – and I now have Presidents Mr von Habsburg and Mr Terrenoire in mind – that you also deserve congratulating, as you are celebrating ninety years of the Pan‑Europa movement today, tomorrow and on Sunday. What a milestone, and what an achievement! Please accept my warmest congratulations!
Count Coudenhove-Kalergi is a familiar figure for me, or should I say a familiar face. I was first introduced to his thinking when a fellow student in Leuven devoted her thesis to his works. And today, every morning, I enter the building of the European Council and I pass along a gallery of portraits, and it opens with a portrait of the very first winner of the Karlspreis, Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi.
Back in 1922, when this Tokyo-born young aristocrat living in Vienna started to campaign for the European idea, it was just that: an idea. Hapless, it seemed, and utopian. But in the uncertainty of the times, right after the worst war in the history of mankind, the idea struck a chord.
The young Coudenhove-Kalergi deeply believed that the cycle of destructive wars could be stopped, that the power of persuasion – including his own sense of persuasion – could change the course of history."
Ending wars: Ie, COMPLETELY wipe out Europeans who revolt against the Jew World Order. This is the "peace" the jews talk about. Its *THEIR* peace and nobody else's.
So what are the rewards for this glorious undertaking of the feces to destroy the European. [Of course, not adding the millions upon millions the jews in this biz of State destruction do reap from the unsuspecting work class and citizens]:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... thing.html
Herman Van Rompuy will be paid more than £500,000 by the EU to do nothing
"Herman Van Rompuy will be entitled to more than £500,000 for doing nothing at the taxpayer's expense over the next three years, after finishing his term as president of Europe. After standing down on Monday, the former president of the European Council will be paid £133,723 a year, 55 per cent of his basic salary, until December 2017 - to ease him back into life outside the world of Brussels officialdom. The Telegraph has established that Mr Van Rompuy will also receive a one off payment of £21,000 and, aged 67, he will be able draw a lifetime EU pension worth £52,000 a year, taking his earnings to £578,000 over the next three years. The "transitional allowance" does not require Mr Van Rompuy to do any work at all and the cash will be paid under reduced rates of EU "community" tax, which are far lower than taxation in his native country of Belgium. "
"He was widely criticised four years ago for using his official motorcade of five limousines as a taxi service to take his family on 325-mile round trip to Paris airport en route to a private holiday in the Caribbean. Nigel Farage, the leader of Ukip who was fined £2,700 by the European Parliament in 2010 for describing Mr Van Rompuy as having the "charisma of a damp rag", attacked the payments. Van Rompuy's term in office has seen millions driven into poverty and unemployment by the eurozone crisis but he himself has hit the jackpot. The EU is a racket which looks after its own," he said.

You may have used videoconferencing to connect with friends in other parts of the world, and soon, you may be using the technology to connect with your bank teller.
John Adams at American Banker covered the banking industry's embrace of new applications for the technology in his recent article, "The Shrinking Bank Branch." The piece highlights a few forward-thinking financial institutions that have already begun to experiment with giving their account holders personal interaction from a screen.
The concept is fairly simple. Rather than pay to staff financial experts at smaller banks with less traffic, some banks can cut costs while giving account holders easy access to the same expertise. Other banks such as Pittsburgh-based Dollar Bank are using videoconferencing technology on their ATM screens. Instead of standing in a long line waiting for a teller, account holders can interact with tellers based in a remote location.
Many customers have been reluctant to embrace some of the tools that save banks money, such as online and mobile banking, and understandably so. The banking industry hasn't been able to prove that these channels are secure. While I don't know much about hacking into a videoconferencing chat, I would expect that these provide a very high level of security; big companies use this tool all the time for confidential internal meetings. For customers who want security and the personal touch of a live teller, videoconferencing seems to be a win-win scenario. Banks save money, and customers get what they want.
My colleagues have written about the decline in bank branches before, and it's no secret that many customers are continuing to prefer the convenience of managing their money without the hassle of traveling to a location. However, I think we have a long way to go until account holders have absolutely no reason for branches. Be on the lookout for banks to continue to develop new ways to connect with customers while shredding some of the traditional costs of managing eight-hour teller shifts at all of their locations.
What do you think? Would you be comfortable substituting the teller in front of you with a teller in a videoconferencing center hundreds of miles away?

Small- and mid-cap resource firms have taken a beating in 2011, but asset manager Sprott Inc. refuses to turn its back on its bread and butter.
Historically, Sprott has targeted junior precious metals explorers and producers. Even though these stocks are prone to volatility, which makes it harder to predict their returns, Sprott owes them a great deal.
When the commodity bubble started expanding last September, Sprott was very bullish on the sector and that prompted investors to send its stock soaring. Before that, Sprott's performance as a public company had been shaky, at best. After its $10 IPO in 2008, the stock had plummeted south of $5 during the financial crisis.
Yet in the past year, Sprott's stock is up 165 per cent and now sits at $9.09 per share. On Wednesday the company also announced that it has now crossed the $10-billion threshold in assets under management, pushing it into the big leagues of asset managers.
Because Canadian investors are already tapped into Sprott's precious metals story, the company is now looking to spread it beyond its home borders. That strategy was set in motion late last year when Sprott scooped up Global Resource Investments Ltd. and a few other U.S. asset management firms, all of which were founded by natural resource investor Rick Rule.
Peter Grosskopf, Sprott's chief executive officer, expects that type of growth to continue. Outside of Canada, "we feel our global brand recognition has increased dramatically and what we haven't done is take full advantage of it," he said.
"We have relatively few international institutional clients and we'd like to grow that to be a significant portion of our business."
But Sprott doesn't expect a meteoric rise in assets under management from its U.S. operations because that would be inconsistent with its past. Mr. Grosskopf describes the growth of its assets under management as slow and steady.
Despite this new international focus, Sprott has some issues that must be dealt with at home. Fund performance has been dismal this year, with the flagship Sprott Hedge Fund down 15 per cent year to date and the Gold and Precious Minerals Fund down 8.8 per cent.
On top of that, there has been a shift in its fund lineup. Sprott Growth Fund, formerly run by Peter Hodson, has been shut down, after pumping out a negative 1.8-per-cent return since its inception in 2006, and a loss of 15 per cent year-to-date.
Mr. Grosskopf had little comment on the Growth Fund, noting only that "we felt like we had to make a change there to improve performance." As for the other funds, he expects much better performances in the second half of 2011 because physical gold prices are skyrocketing but corresponding equities have yet to catch up.
A strategy to capitalize on this anomaly is still being determined by Eric Sprott, the firm's founder, Mr. Grosskopf said. Even though rumours on Bay Street suggest Mr. Sprott has little involvement in the firm since handing the reins to Mr. Grosskopf last summer, his successor said that isn't the case.
"It is [Eric's] passion to analyze the world and find the best new places to invest in," Mr. Grosskopf said. Because of that, he sets out the vision for each of the funds. Mr. Sprott, however "has very little role in the day-to-day management of the company."
While Mr. Grosskopf talks up Sprott's aim to grow its institutional presence, the firm certainly isn't giving up on its retail connection. The U.S. acquisition was targeted to U.S. private wealth clients, and that operation is being re-tooled for an expansion later this year.
North of the border, retail investors have gobbled up Sprott's Physical Silver Trust and Sprott Physical Gold Trust . The fund manager also just raised $210-million for its Strategic Fixed Income Fund because investors are craving yield.
Still, Mr. Grosskopf vows the firm will stay true to its precious metal roots. "We think it's a great time to be a Canadian asset manager and we think it's a great time to be in natural resources," he said.Report Typo/Error

'I was aiming for Tokyo when I got a job offer to work in Hong Kong with sail maker Rolly Tasker, back in 1963. I am a chartered accountant by profession and I worked with Rolly until 1970. Then I set up my own company making sails for yachts.
'That was actually the core business of the company until the late '70s and early '80s when windsurfing took off. We jumped heavily into the windsurfing market as a sail manufacturer, not so much with our own brand, but rather making them for other people.
'Until 1991 we were in Hong Kong and we then moved to China. We were actually pretty big at that stage and in peak times in the 80's we were making well over 300,000 windsurfing sails a year.
'They were the real 'go-go' days of windsurfing; pretty simple sails and not high tech like they are today, but big numbers. That's how we really got started in the windsurfing market, as a mass producer of cheap sails.
'We figured pretty early on that the future was going to be in developing our own brand so about the early 80s we started getting involved, taking on some designs and resources.
'We started sponsoring high-level sailors and started building up our own brand. By the mid 80s we were the world leader in windsurfing sails and we still are today.
'We were originally just sails and then in the early 90s we were one of the very first producers of the carbon fibre rigs. The next thing was wet suits as we thought 'everybody's going windsurfing so they need wetsuits'.
'We didn't actually get into the windsurfing hulls until we bought the JP Australia brand in 1999, with Jason Polakow, the Australian windsurfer who was one of the big guns.
'These were wave boards, high performance sailing boards, basically Neil Pryde rigs with JP Australia boards. Neil Pryde at that stage had no position in the board market and we didn't get involved in that area until the Olympic bid with the RS:X, which was around about or just before Athens.
'ISAF were looking for bids for a new one design windsurfing class for the Olympics and we won selection with the RS:X. We are still there today and aiming to be there for Brazil 2016.
[Sorry, this content could not be displayed]
'We noticed that kiteboarding was starting to cut into the windsurfing market. I met Pete Carina, a real icon in the sport and one of the originals. He had been in kiteboarding from its early days and in 2000 we bought all the rights to his name for kiteboarding products and Pete came to work for us. He did the marketing and product direction and we went in to the kiteboarding business.
'Cabrinha is arguably the world market leader and we built about 25,000 kites a year.
'Windsurfing is shrinking but kiteboarding is definitely growing by probably five percent a year, but not everywhere in the world. It's started to slow a bit in Europe because one of the major considerations of kiteboarding is beach space.
'Kites need a lot of manoeuvring space. In terms of being able to go on the beaches in Holland or France, the popular beaches, it is becoming an issue and on some beaches kiteboarding is not allowed.
'Kiteboarding is only just getting to point where they are seriously looking at competition type sailing. It has been very much a freestyle free ride, more a having fun type of sport, particularly emphasizing travel and life style.
'There is now an element in the sport that's getting very serious about competition and they are making a pretty strong bid to be included at the Olympics.
[Sorry, this content could not be displayed]
'Frankly, although we own Cabrinha, I am not necessary supporting that because I have one foot in each camp with windsurfing and while I think kiteboarding is a fantastic sport, I think it is a little premature to be saying they want to be in the Olympics.
'Olympic sailing is all about one design because the emphasis of Olympic sport is on the athlete not the equipment and I think kiteboarding has a way to go to get to a one design standard.
'San Francisco is much more advanced in racing. We were quite involved with the St. Francis Yacht Club and in fact we sponsored the first events that they put on in kiteboarding, through our American company. They were probably the most successful events so far run. Even so, while they have good competition and it is spectacular to watch, I just don't think that they are ready for Olympic status and I say that even with my Cabrinha hat on my head.
'I think kiteboarding ultimately can be an Olympic sport but I just don't see it happening any time soon, in spite of the kite guys pitching.
'But kiteboarding is still up in the air and right now in the RS:X class we are up and running, and probably have over 200 competitors at the ISAF Sailing World Championships' summed up Pryde.
However 'up in the air' might be not the appropriate term.
The largest regatta in Asia, the Phuket King's Cup, ran a demonstration kite boarding event last week, with 20 KiteBoard Tour of Asia sailors providing a strong fleet.
While the keelboat fleet sailled on each of the six days of the event, the kiteboards were unable to sail on four of those days because as soon as wind speeds dropped below eight knots, the kites fell in the water.
That meant on days when wind speeds averaged 10-12 knots, the kiteboarders were unable to start.
In practical terms, kiteboard racing using the existing kite technology, plainly will not fly across much of Europe and Asia.
Going forward the push to bring kiteboarding in the Olympic playing field will need either new kites or winder venues.

Sandygate Amateur Boxing Club kept the mantle of one of Lancashire's busiest club's as its young fighters were in action once again – and this time it was the National Minor's finalist and NW Champion Reiko Rickwood who stepped in to the ring.
The 12-year-old was up against the experienced Calum Francis of Hoddenham & Ely ABC – the East Anglian champion was having his 18th bout compared to Reiko's 7th seventh.
It proved to be a mouth-watering match-up, a contest of three by one-and-a-half minute rounds at The Masonic Lodge, Ashton-Under-Lyne on the Ashton Albion ABC show.
From the opening bell Stoops Estate's Rickwood met the taller Francis straight on unleashing a mammoth barrage of blows, connecting to the body and forcing Francis onto the ropes.
The phases of attacks were relentless from Rickwood. Standing up in-between round's the Hameldon Year 7 pupil stayed focused and diligent.
The second round again saw Rickwood match the strong Cambridgeshire boxer punch for punch before Francis upped his game in the third sensing a upset.
It was a breath-taking encounter but it was the Sandygate fighter's night as, one minute in, he landed a solid right hook to the body which totally took the wind out of Francis forcing the referee to halt proceedings and administer a standing eight count.
Both boys got a special mention from the MC stating it was one of the best contests he had witnessed from lads so young.
Judges ringside had no doubt on the verdict, a unanimous win for Sandygate's Rickwood.
Manchester's top pro coach Billy 'Preacher' Graham handed out the awards on the evening and he also commented on the cracking contest, awarding the Sandygate figher the honour of boxer-of-the-night.

LOS ANGELES – They have nothing to lose today. That is not the problem.
The problem is trying to deal with how much there is to win.
The difference between winning a PGA Tour event and not winning one is the difference between camping out and the Ritz.
Will McGirt leads the Northern Trust Open by two shots, with 18 holes left. He never has won.
Jason Allred is three strokes back, as is Brian Harman. Cameron Tringale, from Mission Viejo, is a stroke behind them. Their lives will change forever if they hole the right putts. But all that shimmering milk and honey will leave a scar if someone else takes it away.
When you win a tournament, at least a tournament that gives full FedEx points, the first realization is usually the invitation to the Masters.
Charlie Beljan, tied for second here, did not get that invitation in 2012 when he won at Disney World. But he did get a two-year exemption from qualifying, which means he can set his own schedule. Thus, he can experiment, change his swing, think about winning again instead of surviving.
Winners also get invited to the World Golf Championship events, which carry extra World Ranking points, which in turn get you in all the majors.
Winners get civilized tee times, instead of having to practice before sunrise, instead of having to putt mangled greens at sunset.
Last but not least, winners get rich enough to pay off those credit card bills and student loans.
Today's champion will walk away $1.2 million richer.
McGirt has played so many mini-tours in his life "that I need my fingers and toes to count them." But he does remember one feature: "Sometimes you play for less than your entry fee."
It is not always how often you play well, but when. Derek Ernst had not finished higher than 41st in any tournament before he dropped by Charlotte last year. He has not finished higher than 30th in any tournament since, and that was at Kapalua, whjch had a 30-man field.
But Ernst beat David Lynn in a playoff in Charlotte, on that rainy morning in May, and suddenly it didn't matter if he became the biggest one-hit wonder since the Baja Men. Those 51 other weeks didn't matter either.
So McGirt and Allred and the others realize how golden this ticket can be.
Allred had to get through Monday qualifying, in which four players out of more than a hundred earn a trip to the first tee Thursday. No Monday Man has won a tour event since Arjun Atwal in Greensboro in 2010.
Allred hasn't been on the big tour since 2008. He is an alum of the Canadian and Gateway Tours. He is also on the Web.com Tour but has to Monday-qualify for that. Last summer he thought about giving it up.
"This has blown my expectations out of the water," Allred said after his 67 on Sunday. "But I still have that belief that I can win golf tournaments, even though I've had a hard time believing it over the years."
McGirt is from the "upstate" in South Carolina, the former Southern Conference champion from Wofford. More than once he would drive to Boston for a Monday qualifier, fail to make it, and drive back to Charlotte for a tournament that began on Tuesday.
Twice he lipped out putts in the second stage of Qualifying School that denied him a chance for the final stage, which brings Web.com membership. In 2009, he promised he'd quit unless he made the finals. He was doing fine, and then he dumped a shot into a wet bunker on 17 on the last day. Those bad old memories suddenly overtook him.
Until he holed out for birdie.
"I sprinted to the 18th tee," McGirt said, 'because I had this splitting headache. I was playing with Paul Stankowski and he said, 'Just take a deep breath.'''
McGirt has finished second twice, in the 2012 and 2013 Canadian Opens. In '12 he bogeyed the final hole to lose by one. He also did not look at the leaderboards.
The next week he was on the practice green at the PGA Championship and told Joe LaCava, caddie for Tiger Woods, about his strategy.
"Tiger heard it and literally stopped in the middle of his stroke," McGirt remembered. "He said, 'What did you say?'''
On Saturday McGirt kept making 30-footers on greens that kept rejecting everyone else's 5-footer. He birdied five of his first six, shot 65 and had only eight pars all day.
Today he says he will look at the scoreboards, especially if his name is on top. If it stays there, it might be the only thing he recognizes.

A mechanical engineering student from Clapham is helping to develop a prosthetic fin to enable a woman who lost a leg in a accident to learn to scuba dive.
Lewis Jones, 21, has been designing a prototype knee joint to help 53-year-old Sue Wright, a member of the British Sub Aqua Club, explore the underwater world as a fully qualified BSAC ocean diver.
Sue was severely injured when a van lost control, mounted the pavement and smashed into her.
Lewis said: "It's proved difficult to come up with something that replicates the knee joint without the use of electronics. I have tried to keep it as simple as possible.
"I've dived myself so appreciate what Sue needs. She is a remarkable and incredibly inspirational lady."
Sue, a former office manager, said she had been struggling to swim underwater as she could only use one fin on her right foot.
She added: "I get tired as my right leg, which was also badly damaged in the accident, has to do all the work.
"However, it's not just about having a prosthetic leg I can use to help me fin, I also need to be able to wear it to get to and from the dive boat and so I can carry all my dive equipment."

Connellsville Area Community Ministries outreach grows
Connellsville Area Community Ministries was started in 1974 after a 1968 fire destroyed Central Methodist Church in Connellsville.
Instead of rebuilding, congregants decided to start a ministry because they could attend other Methodist churches in town. They used the fire insurance money to establish the ministries.
The mission statement from Connellsville Area Community Ministries is: "CACM is an extension of the church to all hurting people needing support in life's development and the struggle to obtain justice and a healthful life grounded in God's Love."
Shelly Auer, assistant director, came to the ministries in June 2011 from a job in retail.
"I was feeling restless in my job, knowing God had a calling for me in my life," she said. "I was searching and refused several job offers because I knew they were not what God was putting in my heart. I gave the ministries director a resume and cover letter and forgot about it. He called, and I interviewed and accepted the job without knowing hours, wages, benefits or anything."
Auer said she felt at that moment she had answered the call.
"I had volunteered at the ministries as a teenager with my grandmother Mary Basinger and my great-aunt Jane Hepler. She was the assistant of Rev. Gerald Witt and began the Care and Share Boutique; it is co-named the Jane Hepler Memorial Boutique," Auer said.
Connellsville Area Community Ministries moved to its new location, 110 W. Crawford Ave., in January 2012.
"We had outgrown our space and needed more room to expand. We are also saving money in the long run, being the owner of our own facilities, because we don't have to pay rent anymore," Auer said.
The actual move from Connellsville Area Community Center to the new location was quite an undertaking.
"We knew we had a huge job ahead of us. We had countless people in the community step up to help us to get moved and organized. Our biggest help in the beginning was Brandon Sabatula who donated time and materials, saving us between $5,000 and $8,000 by drafting our blueprints that we needed to continue with our building projects. Without that, we would still be in a big, wide-open space. God sends exactly who we need, when we need them," Auer said.
"The move to Crawford Avenue has been a real positive for Community Ministries," said Barry Craig, a member of Connellsville Area Community Ministries Board of Directors. "There is more visibility of the ministry in the new location, and we are serving more of the area's needy. We have seen growth in many ways. The boutique is very busy. We encourage more volunteers to get involved."
Auer said the ministries have come a long way in the first year at the new location.
"We have had mission groups coming in from New Jersey, Indiana and around Pennsylvania to assist us in building. We had hundreds of linear feet of walls to build and that includes framing, drywall, electric, painting and more. We have demolished the old pharmacy area of this former drug store and re-purposed that wood to level floors and build cross beams.
"We have been very resourceful and have relied on donations specifically for our building project and only items the community has provided," Auer said. "We have a lot of drywall yet to hang and wiring to run and probably another year of construction until we can say we have this completed."
The food pantry is increasing every year in numbers, with 152 more boxes served in 2012 than 2011, for a total of 3,580 boxes distributed, she said.
"We are provided food through Fayette County Community Action Agency for the main food box," Auer said. "It is then subsidized through items donated by the community through individuals, churches and organizations. These food items, totaling over 11,000, were then able to be given in addition to the food box."
Auer explained that a No. 1 box is for a family of one or two and contains 11 to 14 items per month; they can choose an additional two items.
"They can only get a food box once a month, so the items provided by the community are vital," she said.
A No. 2 box is for a family of three or four, who choose four additional items; No. 3 box, family of five to 6, who select six additional items; No. 4 box, for a family of seven or more, who can pick eight additional items.
"Wal-Mart of Connellsville and Martin's of Connellsville provide us with bakery, deli and produce items to distribute to our clients, also," Auer said.
"Food pantry and other donations increase during the holiday season," Craig said, "but it is important to remember that donations are needed throughout the year."
The Care & Share Boutique has nearly doubled its size since the move.
The boutique is open to everyone — not just crisis victims — from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.
Sharon Wilson, boutique supervisor, has worked with her staff of volunteers to make the shop, which she calls a pleasant shopping experience. They go over every item that enters the building, clean, test, price and place in the shop.
Donations can be dropped off at the back of the building from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. There is a volunteer staff to unload. Almost any items are accepted, including clothing, shoes, coats, undergarments, bedding, housewares, home décor, new and used toys, furniture, and appliances small and large. Medical equipment also is accepted as part of the medical-lending program.
"We feel more a part of the community now that we are on Crawford Avenue," Auer said. "We are working every day to improve our building and feel we have come a long way in one year, but we still have a long way to go. We are always happy to see new volunteers as there is still so much to do. Everyone here has a call to help the people in this community and without the volunteers, we could not exist."
Connellsville Area Community Ministries relies heavily on the community to provide the money and materials needed to assist the people of Connellsville.
"We haven't let any of the programs we have lapse in any way. We have kept all of them up and running. Connellsville is a very giving community and has a very diverse income, but all are giving no matter what income," Auer said.
Connellsville Area Community Ministries Executive Director is the Rev. Charles Prevot; director, the Rev. Doug Johnson; supervisor of Care & Share Boutique, Sharon Wilson; and food-room supervisor, Jack Love.

Welsh Dragon Ware: The Story
I did not plan to include so much jewellery in my shop, but I have a serious love for accessories and, once I started playing around with plastic beads, I wanted to try more and more. My original goal was to sell glass tile pendants and necklaces, but gathering the components for that and working out the kinks was more difficult than I thought originally. My line of fabric glass tile pendants are ready to go, but I am still working on getting the colours right for printed images, such as with the My Little Pony Designs.
I decided to make MLP jewellery and accessories because of how much Hasbro supports the adult pony watching community. It is surprising how much of a following that MLP, Friendship is Magic, has received from an older audience and I just think it is lovely to wear something subtle that shows your support of the show!
As I am going into my third year of university now, on my English and Creative Writing degree, I hope to attend the Christmas Craft Fair held at my university, if I am able to locate the information on the website, which can be task in itself at times! I am sure that a stall at the craft fair would go down very well over Christmas and I'll have to make sure that I don't take off to Olympia (the Christmas horse show in London) over the time that I will be able to have a stall there!

I'm a twenty-year-old English and Creative Writing student in Wales (Lampeter university). I've lived in Wales for my whole life so far and have been crafting for as long as I can remember, right from the Brownies and Guides groups that I was in!

I love every single element in this image.
The idea of using a vintage ironing board as an entry way table is completely charming to me.
It looks lovely even in an outdoor setting.
Or what about as a sideboard to hold delicious treats?
Donna of Funky Junk built a pallet desk. Do you see what I see?
She created an overhead lamp using, what else, a vintage ironing board.
Even if you can't find a wooden ironing board a metal board can be cute too.
Alas I fear that my vintage ironing board may be going the way of the croquet set.
We'll have to see if Mr. Décor and I can iron it out. 🙂

Their View: Dayton, DFL think you're Richie Rich
Once upon a time, democrat legislators and Governor Mark Dayton promised that the rich would be paying more in taxes and that middle and low income Minnesotans would be shielded from the effects of their policies.
Now that July has arrived and many of the new tax increases are in effect, our state will discover the hard reality that all Minnesotans will be paying more under the tax increases and policies passed by democrats during the 2013 legislative session.
In short, democrats in St. Paul think we're all Richie Rich now.
You don't need to take just my word for it. In June, Gov. Dayton's Department of Revenue released a Tax Incidence Analysis outlining how every hard-working Minnesotan will be paying more through income taxes as a result of the tax increases passed by the legislature.
The analysis also confirms that the business tax increases ultimately hit consumers. Over 60 percent of the corporate tax increases get shifted to Minnesota consumers or workers. In addition, Minnesota will require major online retailers to collect 6.875 percent sales tax. That means if you buy books or music online, you'll be paying more.
Also, expect to hear from democrat lawmakers that the 183 percent per-pack tax increase on cigarettes is to help alleviate the health costs imposed on the state due to smoking. In reality, the state is depending on the revenue from that tax to pay for the construction of the Vikings stadium. I don't smoke, but I believe it's wrong for the state to place the burden of building a stadium for millionaires and billionaires upon smokers.
Democrats' crowning achievement this session was passing the forced unionization of in-home childcare providers. As a former childcare provider, I know we don't need leaders of big unions meddling with the small business owners who run childcare centers out of their homes. Because of the requirement of paying union dues, costs will go up for providers and parents.
Perhaps democrats in St. Paul believe all Minnesotans have magically undergone a "rags to riches" experience. Unfortunately, most of us haven't been so lucky.
Like you, I'm no Richie Rich. I'm a working mom trying to provide the best for my family. We now know that the wealthy aren't the only ones who will be paying more under the tax increases and policies democrats imposed on Minnesota. All Minnesotans – regardless of income level – will be carrying the burden of these tax increases. For democrats in the legislature or for Gov. Dayton to argue otherwise is an act of mental gymnastics.

The Perspectives Project
From SystemsWiki
Based on the insights of the Certified Systems Thinker Postscript Video I stopped talking about systems thinking and now typically just ask questions enabling others to investigate and understand relationships and their implications.
With the new understanding, I set out to create an environment that would demonstrate the value of understanding relationships and their implications, without all the overwhelming complexity causing confusion. The idea was to surface a set of noteworthy relationships and their implications intended to provoke thought, foster deeper understanding, create insights, and enable more effective action. The result was The Perspectives Project, which, as it turns out is, for most completely overwhelming. As such, I'm back to the drawing board, developing a new approach for demonstrating the value of understanding relationships and their implications in a meaningful and useful way. More news to follow - very soon I hope.

OSPF implementation in Cisco IOS deviates slightly from OSPF/NSSA standards (RFC 2328 and RFC 3101). These are the OSPF route selection rules as implemented by Cisco IOS release 12.2(33)SRE1 (all recent releases probably behave identically):
Note: Update history is at the end of the post
- Intra-area routes are preferred over inter-area or external routes regardless of their cost; see Section 16.2 paragraph (6) of the OSPF RFC.
- Inter-area routes are preferred over external routes; see Section 16.2 paragraph (5) of the OSPF RFC.
- E1 routes are preferred over E2 routes; see Section 16.4 paragraph (6) of the OSPF RFC.
- External routes received from an intra-area ASBR should be preferred over external routes received from ASBRs in other areas. Cisco IOS ignores this rule even after configuring no compatible rfc1583 (Section 16.4.1 of the OSPF RFC)
- When comparing E1 routes, the route metric is the external cost added to the internal cost; see Section 16.4 paragraph (6.d) of the OSPF RFC.
- The internal cost of an E1/E2 route is the cost between the current router and the forwarding address specified in the Type-5 LSA (or originating ASBR if the forwarding address is set to 0.0.0.0); see Section 16.4 paragraph (3) of the OSPF RFC.
- When comparing E2 routes, only the external costs are compared; see Section 16.4 paragraph (6.b) of the OSPF RFC.
- If multiple E2 routes have the same external cost, the internal cost (as above) is compared; see Section 16.4 paragraph (6.d) of the OSPF RFC.
- NSSA (type-7 LSA) routes should be preferred over external (type-5 LSA) routes (paragraphs (6.c) and (6.e) of Section 2.5 of RFC 3101). Cisco IOS prefers external routes over NSSA routes; even if they have the same cost as the external routes (and maximum-path is configured), NSSA routes are not entered in the IP routing table.
- It seems the final tie-breaker is the LSA stability (or its position in the topology database/SPF tree?). For example, if the router cannot enter all equal-cost external routes into the IP routing table (based on maximum-path value), it appears to select the more stable ones (described by LSAs that have been longer in the OSPF topology database).
- The original version of this post was published on 2008-01-17.
- The post was updated and renamed on 2011-03-30 after a lengthy (and very productive) discussion with one of my readers.
- 2011-04-16: Fixed the final tie-breaker part.
- 2016-02-19: Fixed a typo - early OSPF RFC was RFC 1583, not RFC 1683

Congressman Mel Watt (12th District of North Carolina) released the following statement about his decision to vote for the health care reform bill which passed the House last night by a vote of 219 - 212:
"I am proud that after months and months of arduous, but thorough, process the House finally adopted a comprehensive health reform bill that I am confident the U.S. Senate will pass later this week.
"The most important benefit our country will get from this legislation will, of course, be that 32 million Americans who do not have health insurance coverage now will over time get coverage. I am pleased that the Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that revenue sources and savings identified in the legislation will more than cover the cost of providing this additional coverage and, in fact, will contribute approximately $140 billion to reduce the deficit over the next 10 years and approximately $1.2 trillion more to reduce the deficit over the following 10 years. I have thoroughly reviewed the CBO analysis and believe that the calculations are sound, if not understated.
"I am also extremely pleased that the House Committee on Energy & Commerce has, at my request, prepared an analysis of the projected benefits residents of the 12th Congressional District of North Carolina will derive from this legislation. The full content of that analysis is attached to this press statement and is posted on my office web site.
"In light of the health and fiscal benefits for the nation and the specific benefits my constituents will derive from this legislation, my decision to vote for this legislation was really not a difficult decision for me. I will be having a series of town hall meetings soon to discuss this and other legislation with my constituents and look forward to having that opportunity."

A GARDENER from Old Sarum has been crowned winner of BBC's The Big Allotment Challenge.
Alex Lomax, 68, was volunteered to take part in the competition by his daughter, and paired up with family friend Ed Bond, a teacher from Westbourne near Portsmouth.
The new show, likened to The Great British Bake Off but for gardeners, sees nine pairs take part in a series of challenges, with one team leaving each week.
The filming process began in March, when each team took over an allotment in a walled garden at the Mapledurham Estate near Reading.
Mr Lomax and Mr Bond spent about 30 hours a week on the project until the autumn, tending to their plants and planning recipes. "We always maintained a positive attitude, planned very well and had a strong determination to do our very best, with just a few wobbles along the way," said Mr Lomax.
Throughout the programme, the pair were said to be the most competitive. "We were billed as the most competitive but for most gardeners it's about camaraderie and helping one another out, which we did even though it was a competition," he added.
His interest in gardening started when he was at primary school and it continued throughout secondary school, when he helped form a gardening club.
Mr Lomax and his wife moved to Old Sarum 18 months ago to be closer to his young grandchildren and just after filming for the show ended, he got an allotment in London Road.
Offering advice to others considering getting an allotment, he said: "Don't take too much on in your first year; enjoy it, don't go crazy."
But he added: "I have failed to follow my own advice. And immediately after we finished filming, I started again."
Looking to the future, he plans to visit a number of gardening shows, including Chelsea this week, and to teach gardening to schoolchildren.

Umbrella Schools
Hey ladies,
Do any of you belong to an Umbrella School? You turn in your curriculum and grades to them. They help you with legal questions if you have any. Also, they have testing sites. The one I am apart of also has sports. But, we do that on our post. I was just curious if you have one or not? If you like yours if you have it? And why you don't have it if you don't. Just curious.
Wife to SSG Todd Halverson and 2 amazing kids.
My son is going into 3rd grade next year. It has nothing to do with graduation. I was told I had to be under a school. So, if someone asked what school we were under. But, that was when we lived in TN and now we live in KY. If I don't have to pay that extra money I wont. I just wanted to know if others were under anything like it or on their own?
You need to look up the laws for your state, some states do make you have an umbrella school but not all of them.
Here is a link to the laws for your state.
We don't need them here in GA, so I don't use one. I'm glad I live ina state where I'm totally independant.

we dont use one, our laws dont require it, thank goodness!! cuz i'd have to break the law!hahah
We aren't using one. In Ky it's not required.
Betty in Ky
We are not currently using an Umbrella School. In the state of Tennessee the only time you have to use one is for high school unless the parent has a Bachelor's Degree. Parents do use them in TN for the lower grades though. We don't but that is only because our county has a very homeschool friendly attitude towards homeschoolers. If not for that, we would probably go the Umbrella School route too.
Also they are currently trying to pass a bill in TN where you can homeschool through high school without an umbrella school even if you just have a high school diploma. I am so hoping this bill passes because I don't want to have to fork out $100 a year to someone else for me to be able to homeschool especially when I've been doing it just fine on my own for the last three years.
Thank you ladies. I do live in KY and I don't need one now. I just wasn't sure. I can keep my own grades and records to what we do. I hate having to prove what we did to someone who doesn't know my child. Thanks again.
SweetPea- I would be interested in the Umbrella School you use. We are under one but all we submit is attendance... I kind of like the idea of being with one that keeps records, etc. Does your have a website I can check out?

BA0059/52K Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of BA0059in our 2016, and 2017 Balenciaga range.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The square shape gives round faces a concise form and makes them appear more striking. It sets a highlight in the appearance, drawing attention to itself. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The BA0059 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively. Similar to grey, brown lenses don't distort the visual impression as much as other colours do. With all other shades, the eyes take longer to neutralize the colour impression. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Balenciaga back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get BA0059 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Hey, I'm making a sissy bar for my 79 FXDL and was wondering what a good size for round stock would be? I have some OEM harley sissy bar mounting plates, so I want to make sure that the round stock isn't too big to fit inside the mounts.
I would just go measure the size of the mounts, but I'm at work and wanted to pick up the round stock when I get off.
also if ya'll have any cool photos of your homemade sissy bars it'd be cool to see um
I used 1/2" round stock and it fit the factory plates very well.
Depends how tall you're planning on making it, 1/2" is the standard that most use.
But if it's really tall 5/8" might be a better choice for added rigidity.
Oh, and make sure you use COLD ROLLED round stock too.
How tall is it going to be?
I use 5/8 on anything taller than a short loop.
If it's going to be used to strap shit to or a back rest, I'd use 5/8 and not worry about it.
My BSA is rocking 5/8 and it's solid as shit. I could put a fat chick back there no problem.
Getting this shit chromed and painted this week....
What about using stainless? Not wanting to powder or chrome mine.
I made one with 7/16 the other day, seems solid enough to me. The thicker they are the heavier the vibrations.
I'm gonna pick up some 5/8's cold rolled tomorrow, its only gonna be 7 dollars and some change for a 6ft piece, so if it doesn't work out i'll buy another size. Thanks for the input really helped me out, I'll put up a picture of it once it's on the bike.
Looking to do a sissybar thats about 36"-40" from lower mount on drop out to tip. Planning on strapping a bunch of shit to it all the time, having my lady on the back every once and awhile. I'd prefer stainless steel so I dont have to chrome or paint. Any issues with this height on a harder material like stainless? 9/16"-5/8" material preferred. How is this material to bend? I'll be using MAP gas to do my bends.
Me and a buddy just did mine yesterday, I used 1/2' round bar. Did it 16' up off fender.Its sturdy as hell. I was going to do a thread on it,but you guys know what your'e doing already.
1/2" or 5/8"? depends on the look you want. i like the 1/2" for long bikes. and stainless is your best bet! polish it out and itll shine forever!

Leechburg's Barto has designs on PIAA golf finals
Matt Barto hopes to be dressed for success in the next round of the high school golf postseason.
The Leechburg junior and WPIAL Class AA champion plans to wear his black-and-white checkered "Pole Position" pants from Loudmouth Golf for Monday's PIAA Western Regional tournament at Tom's Run Golf Course in Blairsville.
He wore Loudmouth's "Derby Chex," a similar, blue-and-white pattern, when he won his third straight section championship.
He went casual khaki in the WPIAL finals.
"My mom didn't want me to wear the Loudmouths that day," Barto said.
The top 12 boys finishers in the regional advance to the PIAA championships. For the first time, a Class AA champion will be crowned at the state tournaments, scheduled for Oct. 22-23 at Heritage Hills Golf Course in York.
Barto could be in line to become the Alle-Kiski's first state golf champion since Knoch's Jeff Dickson in 1992.
He knows he'll have to get there first. And he knows Tom's Run well, having played in this round the past two years.
"I dislike how a couple holes are just bombs away and the long hitters almost can't make bogey," he said. "However it is a good test, and (holes) 2, 3 and 4 in the valley are tight holes where you can take advantage of precision.
"I really like the course as a whole, the layout and greens are good. It just favors long hitters."
Barto tied for 40th in last year's PIAA championship, shooting 84-80.
Barto would prefer the state crown only one individual champion.
"I dislike the separation," he said. "Golf is individual, therefore I think we should all play against each other because our graduation number shouldn't dictate how much potential us Double-A kids have. I wish I could actually compete against Triple-A kids to prove I can compete at the higher level."
Valley's Bill Clark also has had a steady WPIAL Class AAA postseason, averaging 75.5 and tying for 12th in the finals. He will look to make his first PIAA appearance.
Kittanning senior Jordan Klowdowski also is in the Class AA field.
Two local girls — Freeport freshman Audrey Clawson and Fox Chapel senior Ashley DeMoss — will play in the qualifier.
Clawson has been one of the top scorers on Freeport's boys team this fall. She took fourth at the WPIAL Class AA championship, out of 10 girls.
"I was a little more nervous than I expected," Clawson said of the finals.
Clawson can advance to the state finals with a top-10 finish. The top six Class AAA girls also advance.

JBS Shareholder PROT Fund to Be Liquidated at Maturity
JBS SA's (JBSS3) third-biggest shareholder, private-equity fund PROT - Fundo de Investimento em Participacoes, will be liquidated by its investors.
Shareholders voted to close the fund after it reached maturity, according to a regulatory filing dated July 13 and filed yesterday to Brazil's securities regulator CVM. PROT held about 7.1 percent of the world's largest meat producer as of March, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Some of the fund's shareholders voted to retain ownership of the JBS stock, totaling 102.6 million shares, which they will receive within 10 days, according to the statement. Other investors, holding 102.8 million JBS shares, will decide within 180 days whether to retain the stock.
PROT was created in 2008 to invest 1.5 billion reais in JBS, with a 14.3 percent stake in the company, fund manager Angra Partners said in a statement on its website. PROT's current stake in JBS is valued at 1.14 billion reais ($560 million), based on today's share price.
JBS declined 3.1 percent to 5.57 reais in Sao Paulo trading and has fallen 8.4 percent this year.
