Autumn's Prof. T-Ball Pics & Pics from Nathan and Autumn's First Game
I have gone the entire baseball season (started in March!) without posting any photos of the kids playing. Its just been so busy around here and I did take some photos from their first game, I just haven't had a chance to blog about them! So, here are some photos from their first game. This is a photo taken after their game with some succulents and small plants that the kids had bought me. Nathan is on the Rockies again, wearing Barney purple (ugh) and Autumn is on the Cardinals (GO CARDS!) wearing red.
Here is a photo of Nathan hitting the ball, it was coach pitch until LAST weekend when they started using the machine! Ok, now a bad Mommy confession... the rest of the photos are of Autumn. I should have taken more of Nathan! But, my excuse is that this is Nathan's third season and this is Autumn's first... SO, its just really exciting to see her play her first year!
Autumn up at bat. She actually hits the ball off the tee fairly well and hits it hard. I guess all that back yard practicing with her big bro has paid off!
Running to first. She always holds onto her helmet when she runs. Silly girl.
This is my FAVORITE photo, this really shows Autumn's silly little personality.
Catching a ball
Autumn on the bleacher. The kids LOVE going to each others games so that they can check out all the deliciousness of the concession stand. I will admit, it is fun and tasty.
Here is Autumn's professional photo, I love how the photographer had the other players stand behind her... such a pretty backdrop.
Team Photo. I am still waiting on Nathan's. Autumn is actually done playing now (she played 5 games, Nathan played 8), but I'll do one blog post of their final games together

Indore: Unable to bear torture done by her husband and in-laws, a 26-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide after strangulating her two children to death here, police said on Tuesday.
Shraddha Jat strangled her two children - Pari (1) and Rajveer (3) - to death and thereafter hanged herself at her residence under the Aerodrome police station limits last night, Additional Superintendent of Police Rupesh Dwivedi said. Only Shraddha and her kids were in the house when she took the extreme step, he said.
Dwivedi said from primary investigations it has come to light that the she was being allegedly tortured by her husband and his family members for the last couple of days.
However, police is probing the reason behind the harassment, the officer said, adding, further investigations into the matter are on.

Reviews of Ben Rubin
Ben has done some mixing for me the last couple years and it has always turned out really well. Aside from being a great engineer, he is very easy to work with. He makes you feel comfortable in the studio space and is a very clear in his communications- He understood what I was going for and made it happen. Highly recommended.
I hired Ben to track and mix a classical/popish composition I wrote for a film. His proficiency on pro tools (and in ordering lunch) got us through the session quickly. He helped us make musical decisions and kept things moving forward. His mix was spot on super pro. The director and I were very pleased. I'm looking forward to the next time.
We (David Phelps and myself) just spent some quality time with Ben for the mix of our latest EP. He is so easy be around, and what's most impressive - he's knows all kinds of music, from the vantage point of an engineer, producer and a player. He's patient and fun to hang with. We're very happy with the results.
Ben's incredible ear and sensitive bass playing have been an essential part of my musical life for the past two decades, as a core and treasured member of my 7-piece band. He brings a unique melodicism to the bass while always grounding us as a group. It's been exciting to watch Ben's engineering career soar in both the live and recorded arenas!
Working with Ben has been a really good experience and I would really like to continue working with him. He not only knows how to get good sound but also has a keen and versatile sense for music overall. He is very helpful in giving the performer his objective ear and wonderful in his tact in giving his assessments.
Ben is my go-to guy for everything from producing and mixing to playing the bass. Whatever you throw at this guy he can do. His vast musical knowledge and taste has made every situation we've worked together both fun and extremely informative, as well as feeling like I got the best product. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Ben Rubin has been writing and recording songs and music since I've known him in high school! He has since then moved on to be quite the producer, musician and film score champion. He played incredible upright bass parts on my upcoming album, Mercy for the Angels, and would be a great addition to a variety of musical stylings!
i have called ben to play bass on more gigs than i could count. he has mixed most of my records. he has been an invaluable technical liason in all the recordings of mine he has played on. most importantly, whenever we work together - making a spec theme for a tv game show or mixing or performing or touring, we laugh our asses off.
"Ben Rubin has the producing and mixing skills to lay down that sought-after New York Jazz sound. It's great working together with him as he really pushed me to strive for the best result possible. Using his abilities to be creative, communicative and empathize with the artist, Ben really delivers."
Ben Rubin cares deeply about his craft and is creative every step of the way. I worked with him on two albums by Walking Distance, and from saving our apartment sounds, to producing in the studio, he's been a joy to work with, and the results are top notch.
Ben is an excellent engineer with huge ears and a great understanding of what any project needs, from rock, to jazz to you-name-it. I've had the pleasure of working with him in different settings and it has always been both a personal and professional pleasure. Always patient, always with a smile, always ready to add his expertise and taste.
Have made half a dozen records with Ben over the years. Ben's super fast, super intuitive and has great ears - and moreover his main focus is MUSICALITY - everything you hear must make you go, "please sir, can I have some more?" Great person too, kind and honest and always goes the extra mile to make it great. A rare bird, that Benny.
Ben has been editing music for my Fifth Grade Musical productions at P.S. 212 in Brooklyn for the past seven years. I keep coming back to him because his work is impeccable. He is extremely talented and I am always grateful to have him on my side when it is time to make my students shine on stage. I have no reservations to highly recommend him.
Ben composed the score for my feature film SOMEONE ELSE, and played all the instruments on it, and produced and mixed it. The end result is a rich brew of moods and emotions and wildly varied sounds that pushes the story and the images to a whole new level. I couldn't be happier with the music, and I couldn't ask for a better collaborator than Ben.
Ben is a fantastic musician as well as mix engineer. I, and many colleagues, have worked with him over the years to much success. I highly recommend him for all services listed!

i have seen a few questions similar to mine right now, but I still would like to ask it. my boyfriend and I have been together for a few years. but he doesn't call me pretty, beautiful, sexy, nothing anymore. the only time he says something nice about my looks is if I'm dressed all slutty for him at home, THEN he will say "wow you look hot, you made me hard" but other than that not a word. he has no problem saying how hot women on TV are, or sexy, sometimes says they are beautiful. Even if I am better looking than the woman he will say it, and nothing to me. he will tell friends they are pretty,or say they look so hot. a friend of his posted a picture on her facebook of her in a towel and he posted "wow you look great! take off the towel!" but when I post pretty or sexy pix, he doesn't even comment on them or notice. it's like I'm not good enough anymore. I really deep down inside think I am an extremely attractive girl, but lately my confidence has been fading away. because, if the man I love can't even tell me I'm beautiful then I must not be...
what should I do? I know it sounds pathetic but I am becoming very depressed over this. (I have been diagnosed with depression and I feel even worse now)
Most Helpful Guy
I feel bad for you, I mention other hot girls to my wife when I see them but I compliment her everyday and tell her she is the perfect girl for me, sexiest body I can imagine, perfect shape and size, etc. M aybe he wants you to feel insecure because he feels your too good for him?11|00|0

Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword is a video game based on the Tomb Raider series, developed by Core Design. It was released for the Game Boy Color in 2001, and it is a sequel to the first Tomb Raider for the same system.
A long time ago, an evil magician named Madame Paveau rose to power in the underworld of New Orleans using her dark magic and sacrificing humans. The underworld became synonymous with fear, and only with the aid of a powerful, benevolent magician could people rise up against her murderous control. After a mob broke into her mansion and burnt it down, the evil magician was destroyed. Her body was shattered upon jagged precipices on the bottom of a nearby cliff.
People believed they were finally safe from Madame Paveau and her devilish ways, but they weren't aware that one of her apprentices had survived. He performed an ancient rite by her broken body and captured her soul in a sacred container. The minion then began his search for a suitable body and the proper spells that would bring his master back to life.
During a visit to an old friend, Jane, in a dark antiquities museum, Lara Croft witnesses the theft of a powerful sword from the museum. In the confusion and chaos of the theft, Lara is cut by the sword. Her blood on the blade makes hers the body that is needed for the ritual. The minion then sets off to gather the remaining objects needed to transfer Madame Paveau's soul into Lara's body. Lara immediately starts pursuing the cult, hoping to save her soul.

Episode 13, Friday 29 July 2011
Port Arthur is one of Australia's most significant historical sites. Its story began in 1830 when the first convicts were transported there, but a lot of the valuable information about daily life that has been buried over the years. The site closed as a penal settlement in 1877 and almost immediately became a tourist attraction, and this fascination has not waned over time.
One hundred years later archaeologists began their first digs to try and piece together a picture of the residents of Port Arthur and how they lived. It is hard to believe now that this wide open space was full of buildings and was an industrious and self-sufficient settlement.
Gordon likes the idea of digging for treasure and he joins Anita Waghorn, who oversees the archaeological projects, on one of the annual digs to find out how they excavate the site and the sort of things they find buried there. He finds that it is all about using small tools to uncover the layers slowly. There is no fast way of doing it, the smallest objects and broken bits can often tell a lot about what life was like for the convicts. This is not a job for the impatient. Everything that is found is then painstakingly cleaned, conserved and catalogued and then goes into the permanent Port Arthur collection. These fragments tell a lot about the sort of china they had on the table, how they groomed themselves and what their buildings were like. The thousands of fragments that have been collected over the years are part of a large jigsaw, which slowly reveals a more detailed picture of life at Port Arthur as time goes by.
The last building constructed at Port Arthur was the Asylum, but now this has become the museum, which displays the most significant pieces in their collection. Unfortunately for Gordon whatever he finds, no matter how valuable, it goes into the Port Arthur collection.

The Victorian Supreme Court has ruled that SingTel-Optus misled Australians over the strength of its mobile network using a series of television and online ad campaigns.
Telstra took Optus to court on February 7, claiming the latter's ad campaign misrepresented the difference between the two networks and breached the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.
Telstra argued the ads misled customers into believing Optus and Telstra's mobile networks covered 98.5 per cent and 99.3 per cent of the Australian landmass respectively.
Optus responded that it had clearly stated in the advert's voiceover and fine print that the figures represented population and not geographic coverage figures.
But on Tuesday afternoon Justice Elliott ruled against Optus and in favour of Telstra.
Under the heading "The Advertisement contravenes the Australian Consumer Law", he wrote that an ordinary or reasonable person would have believed it to mean geographic coverage.
"The message that Optus says it seeks to convey in relation to population coverage could have readily been conveyed without the use of a map of Australia," he said. "In short, I accept the submission made on behalf of Telstra that these aspects of the advertisement were part of a deliberate advertising strategy that was calculated to benefit Optus' business."
Optus vice president corporate and regulatory affairs David Epstein said he was disappointed in the court's ruling.
"We have been consistent and transparent in how we communicate the less than 1 per cent difference in the population reach of the Optus mobile network compared to Telstra's, and these clear facts have not been in dispute," he said. "Today's battle has been about how you portray network reach, but what Telstra is really afraid of is a discussion on price."
Telstra spokesman Scott Whiffin said the court's decision was "a win for consumers".
"Optus has been caught out misleading Australians by implying their geographic network coverage is similar to Telstra's," he said. "We're upfront about the extent of our network coverage because we know it's an important consideration for anyone choosing a mobile plan.
"Curiously Optus has since removed information about its geographic coverage from its consumer web pages."

There is no minute remedy to loving yourself, it takes a lot of time.. took me a good year to get there. But you should start doing what makes you happy and not what makes others happy, dont be forced into something you dont want to do, and most importantly.. stand up for yourself! You should also try treating yourself every once in a while, buy yourself something nice or do something nice for yourself, can be anything I usually have a bubble bath every weekend :p
Also dont be afraid of what other people think of you, be bold and put yourself in as many uncomfortable situations as possible.. get out of your comfort zone and out of your head. Develop some morals or values and stand by them, by doing this your standing up for yourself and gaining respect from everyone. Everyone is different in some way but if we werent it would be a very boring world!00|00|0

Now, they have added another AltRider skid plate to their list which protects the 2016-17 Honda Africa Twin for any damage. The skid plate was designed to provide maximum protection to the bikes most vulnerable components.
Honda has designed the bike to go off-roading and off the pavement approach, AltRider has designed the skid plate not just to protect the bike but also give you the peace of mind and not worry about any damage to the bike.
The product was designed keeping in mind that it provides maximum strength, coverage, and ground clearance and at the same time it complements the bike's aesthetics.
The engineers from AltRider have taken into account the Africa Twin's dirt bike inspired frame rail, designing the skid plate to bolt to four locations with rubber shock absorbing bumpers on the frame for stability and strength.
Since the ground clearance is the most important feature of an adventure touring bikes, the skid plate is designed to retain much of the ground clearance when installed. Adding to the laser cut and welded aluminium features, the skid plate has been cut strategically to allow airflow and heat dissipation.

Nokia C7 ReviewNokia C7
One of the areas the Nokia C7 has been stripped down when compared with the Nokia N8 is its camera. Megapixel count isn't the where the phone's downgrade strikes hardest, with a more than adequate 8MP sensor on the Nokia C7. The real blow comes with the lack of auto focus, leaving the Nokia C7 perfectly usable for landscape shots and distant group shots, but not for shots of objects closer than a meter.
All the camera options on the phone are the same as on the Nokia N8 except for two: the Nokia C7 has a video light mode, and the Nokia N8 has a macro mode. To take a snap, you can use the one stage camera button, or there is a single camera icon on the screen that we found delivered less in the way of camera shake. The camera has face detection, an optional on-screen grid, as well as the following:
* Scene modes (auto, user defined, portrait, landscape, sport, night and night-portrait)
* Self timer (off, 2 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds),
* Colour tone (normal, vivid, black and white, sepia),
* White balance (auto, sunny, cloudy, incandescent, fluorescent)
* Exposure (-2 to +2 in increments of 0.5)
* ISO (low, medium, high)
* Adjustable contrast
* Sharpness (hard, normal, soft)
Colour reproduction is slightly dull and dreary in full auto. Symbian helps the problem with its vivid shooting mode which compensates for this in processing. The camera's recall for the last shooting mode you were on is however patchy, so you can't for example set the default camera mode to vivid which we found annoying.
A lot of these issues can be corrected from within the phone's in-built editing software, which is one of the most comprehensive editing experiences hard-wired into a mobile OS.
Detail is weak for objects under a meter away as can be expected. Take a look at the picture in the restaurant. As you can see, the face in the background is sharp, whereas our subject is very soft. That said, the more time you spend with the camera, the better able you are to identify optimal focal distance and take good shots, and once you do, detail is generally good.
Exposure on the C7 is not great but is more than tolerable when it comes to camera phones. The inbuilt processor does a good job of evening out high contrast scenes, and for the most part, delivers pretty usable photos. A notable absence is metering control.
Dynamic range is okay in brighter scenes, enabling a well set up shot to deliver a pretty picture. Turn the lights down, and it's naturally going to be another story. Blacks can get blanketed into a sea of noise and highlights unnaturally toned down.
On the topic of noise, this is an area the Nokia C7 has some issues. Without the super advanced sensor or the Xenon flash of the Nokia N8, its twin LEDs aren't enough to make night time shots look like they should. In its attempt of processing the image to lift brightness, the camera brings out huge amounts of noise. In good lighting however, when the image doesn't need to be processed heavily, blacks look clean without too much in the way of noise.
The Nokia C7 captures video at 3 resolutions, HD, VGA and very low res for multimedia messaging, with its HD 720p capture at 25fps leaving us impressed on the whole. As this phone isn't being heavily marketed as an HD camera phone, it was a pleasant surprise that the results weren't far behind the N8. With the Nokia C7 producing a generally duller video than the Nokia N8, and worse night time capture, it nevertheless offers the same shooting modes, including vivid to compensate for the dullness and a video light for darker scenes, something the Nokia N8 lacks.

Nokia C7 Sample Video 2 at 1280x720 px:
The music experience is an unchanged Symbian^3 experience, which is not a bad thing as it has had a very nice revamp. Upon opening up the application, it takes you straight to artists and albums, unlike previous versions which would require an extra step to get here. Clicking the options button lets you view tracks by now playing, song, playlists, genres and podcasts. There is also a link to the Ovi Music store. When viewing albums and artists, holding the Nokia C7 in portrait displays a list, while landscape displays a coverflow like stream of album art. The Nokia C7's coverflow is one of the smoothest we've seen and is very usable. The revamp however comes in portrait mode. Once an album or artist is selected, the screen will split, the top half displaying a mini coverflow, while the bottom half has the track list. This is very usable and makes single handed music browsing a doddle.
The on-board loud speaker is a-ok. With no stereo output, and a slightly sharp sound though, it isn't there to be used very often for music. It does a great job of ringing, being loud and audible, and also acts as a good speakerphone which we'll talk more about later. Output from the on-board 3.5mm headphone jack is great. As is generally the case, connecting a good set of headphones makes all the difference, turning the Nokia C7 into a very capable MP3 player.
Video playback is also immense. The Nokia C7 played back everything we threw at it up to a resolution of 720p (DivX, H.264, MP4 and Xvid), and managed to play it as smoothly as can be. Sure, it won't output content to an HD TV, but if you're looking for a very capable phone-based video experience and don't feel the 3.5-inch display is too small - this is a great way to go.
Internet and Connectivity:
Once again, the Nokia C7 keeps you connected in much the same way as the Nokia N8. With the same wireless options and the only physical connection difference being the lack of mini HDMI out. This means, if it should be on a high-end smart phone, it's on the Nokia C7. GPS, Wi-Fi, quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G, Bluetooth all play their part in making this a well connected phone.
With an improved mail client, it's a piece of cake to set up email accounts such as Windows Live, Gmail and Yahoo!, and with Mail for Exchange support, inputting just a little more information will give you access to additional mailboxes as well as calendar, contacts and task sync.
Symbian^3's web browser sadly doesn't carry forward the speedy performance seen in the rest of the OS. Web pages load accurately enough, however, stutter when swiping around, especially on larger pages. This can be remedied by loading up Opera however, available through the Ovi Store. While this does mean forgoing multi-touch, it makes for an improved experience on the whole.
The on-board GPS finds the Nokia C7's position pretty quickly. Coupling this with Ovi Maps makes the phone a possible GPS replacement. As the Nokia C7s battery life is pretty good, using it as a GPS for short journeys is realistic, however, we'd take either a charger or a spare battery for any journey in excess of half an hour.
The Nokia C7 doesn't have a huge amount of software loaded on it, but what it does have is generally good. Take social networking for example, there is a social networking element from Ovi - Social. This integrates Twitter and Facebook, pulling up feeds into a widget on the home-screen, and linking it through to the installed Facebook / Twitter app. There is also Ovi Maps which as mentioned, does the job well of getting you from A to B. Quickoffice reader is also on the Nokia C7 as is Adobe PDF reader, but for the most part, that's it, except for a Paramount trailers app which we didn't use more than once. Even the on board YouTube shortcut is just a link to the mobile site.

Why in this review says that the camera and video of this phone is dull? Why on GSMarena, the pre-sample shot was very impressive indeed (even shot @ 6MP). This is why PhoneArena is behind GSMarena in reviewing this kinds of phones because your not even close to what users will have to experience. Your somewhat biased at some point. People out there, compare the review of GSMarena and this site to Nokia N8, you can see the difference.

Nokia's recent announcement that Qt would become the standard basis for User Interface developments going forward has made the C7, N8, E7, and C6-01 much more appealing. All UI enhancements previously planned for Symbian^4 will be accelerated AND included in Symbian^3. In fact, the ^3, ^4 naming has also disappeared. Owners of the C7 will see a lot of software upgrades over the next year. It is also excellent news for apps, as there is NO legacy break under this strategic shift in Symbian's UI. The completely new browser will also arrive near term, based on Qt/webkit.
4. Ergonpandilus (unregistered)
Can you be more specific on this: "Symbian^3 is at times convoluted." Besides browser, what are the things that you find hard to use?
And how about "Shiny fascia loves fingerprints"? Isn't that the case for ALL the touchscreen phones with capasitive touch?!
PS. Try Predictive Text and Word Auto-Completion on QWERTY(!) too, that really improves the usability.

nice review, thx
6. FCBM (unregistered)
Good day,
very nice review indeed and very nice phone too. Too bad though Nokia doesn't get the recognition it deserves for putting out the N8, C7 and E7.
As I said I like the C7 very much. However I can't find a whole lot of Apps in the Ovi Store. Now my question is, are Apps and Games interchangable between the N8 and C7?
I thank you in advance!
7. Sankalp (unregistered)
How come there isn't a single mention of "TV out & USB On The Go" feature which have found their way for the very first in any smartphone (alongwith N8 & C6-01 ofcourse). Agreed the standard sales package of C7 doesn't provide the USB-OTG adapter (while N8 does that) but still don't you guys think it was worth a mention atleast.. !!
I would also like to know its price in India?

Good day,
I think, this is going to be my next phone. However, there's one thing I need to know, before I am going to buy it:
Since the phone is equipped with a full focus cam, instead of autofocus, will it be able to scan barcodes (with barcoo for example) and QR-Codes?
I know that the old iPhones (w/o autofocus) can, but what about the c7?
Thank you and regards.
9. AbhiKumar (unregistered)
I but this Phone recently. Very Nice phone and the Symbian ^3 experience is also Good..
I really enjoy with Phone
10. Shejuguru (unregistered)
If this Phone had Autofocus and its default Web browser changed to Opera then it would have been a perfect phone. Almost all reviews on the net has a view that Symbian is very old it cannot match with Iphone OS or Android etc etc. But the fact is that , still Symbian(Nokia) is commanding around 50% of the world's Mobile market.
Are we so stupid of getting diverted from our Symbian Phones based on reviews from the Authors who are getting paid from Apple or Android. Be wise ,think twice before leaving Nokia, If at all you go I am sure you will come back.

i always refer phone arena for comprehensive review. gsm arena makes casual remarks on speech quality where as phone arena makes it a specific point to offer detailed opinion on call quality and clarity. i just brush aside reviews which go to great length in describing features of phone keeping mum on signal strength, call volume and clarity. in this aspect phone arena beats all other reviews hollow. often i have been tempted to buy a handset after reading reviews on other sites. but i never bought any until i read what p a has to say about prime aspect of any handset-speech quality snd volumes. if it is bad p a says so without mincing words. gosh i have been saved many times by the crisp and straight remarks of p.a. had i ventured to buy that set it would have ended in my dust bin. keep it up p a.

Am in Singapore ..... Don't .... don't even touch this phone. Got a C7 for a month now, after less than 1 week, it keeps hanging. Sent to Nokia Care and they took two weeks and cannot figure out, then after much pressing, they replaced the motherboard and now (after 1 week) phone starts hanging again.
20. holomodo (unregistered)
Bought a C7 three days back. Have nothing to compain about so far. Fantastic build quality. Excellent hardware features. UI is smooth and responsive. Symbian OS is acceptable, not the monster that some people are making it out to be. This phone is worth the money that you pay for it. I am glad I bought this phone.

lucky !

was given a c7 by my wife as a birthday gift. within 7 days of usage, the phone died and would not start again. when i brought to the service center, the phone was diagnosed to required level 3 repair, and thus was sent to the nokia head ofc here in the philippines. was advised that it will take about 7 days to diagnose the problem.
stay away from this phone.
25. Rawv (unregistered)
Did you get this back ?????
31. c7 user (unregistered)
as an update, got my phone 3 weeks after i turned it in. they had problems getting a new mainboard replacement. when they were about to turn it over to me, they discovered that the sim card containter (back cover) was also defective and needed to be replaced.
so i was happy with the phone, spending hours enjoying its features - until i got a message from nokia recommending a software upgrade via ovisuite. so stupid fool that i am, i did so, as it promised better performance. i followed every instruction to the letter. but when the phone reflash was done, my phone could not power off. so i brought it immediately to the nokia care center. the following day, i was advised it had to be sent for level 3 repair again. and guess what, it needs a new mainboard replacement!!!! and of course, there are no available parts.
of the 10 weeks since i've had the phone, its been 5 weeks in the nokia repair shop. i love the features of the phone - but i hate the fact that it needs frequent mainboard replacement.
again. if you are thinking of getting this phone - stay away from nokia. might as well try samsung or other android phones.
btw, my brother in law bought an n8 last november. within 7 days, the phone got bricked, and it took also 3 weeks before its mainboard could be replaced.
NO to NOKIA

Hi guys,
Nokia C7 is a fantastic phone...sorry smart phone. It is really smart. People may say their experience..most of them may not even tried out one forth of its features. I tried all the features and impressed a lot. It is a mini computer, a HD video cam, a Digital Cam, A multi format video player, music player, a very good navigation device, a very good smart touch phone... what else you are looking for... Symbian ^3 is a good OS and offers most of the advanced features... also offerring more and more through OVI store... Enjoy the smart phone leader ...my favourite Nokia C7.

"2 - NEW UNDERGROUND" Photography by Sergen Sehitoglu / Istanbul
Press release from: art place berlin
"The photographs in Sergen's folio represent conflicting ideas; they are related to each other but independent at the same time, free from each other but complementing, hiding the inner meaning but allowing the viewer to feel it. They use colour, rhythm and graphic concepts. The images represent starkness, cold comfort for people and loneliness, but they are formed in such a way that they allow space for the viewer.
art place berlin
offers a public forum with a new format for the presentation of exhibitions of contemporary art and intercultural projects in Berlin. The capital is one of the most interesting metropolises for art and culture.
Due to the increasing process of globalisation the intercultural exchange is becoming more and more important. To encounter and deal with international art advances the process of intercultural communication.
In the centre of the capital at the Alexanderplatz, the most dynamically developing hub of the city, the presentation of art will reach a new dimension with high public appeal.
This is made possible by the partnership with the Park Inn Berlin-Alexanderplatz. A superlative four star conference and business hotel and the largest city hotel in Berlin.
In the building of the Park Inn Berlin-Alexanderplatz more than 30.000 visitors monthly from all over the world will experience an encounter with current international art. The exhibitions are open to the public daily and around the clock. The entry is free of charge.
The exhibition areas are located on the ground floor and at the first floor in the most frequented and central areas such as the foyer, reception, lobby and in front of the salons.

Alright, so I have a HUGE crush on this guy at work. He's a supervisor in another department than mine. I'm a cashier. He monitors Home/Shoes. I REALLY like him. A lot of people at work don't though. They say he's mean and rude and just plain quiet. I see him as crazy, funny, and LOTS of fun. We have really gotten to know each other in the past few weeks, and we are so chill and comfortable around each other. I really don't see what's wrong with it, except that I'm 17! Could that cause a problem if we date? Could either of us lose our jobs if people find out? Could he get in any trouble if he persues me? And other than that, he hasn't told me he likes, but has dropped HUGE hints, but maybe he hasn't asked me on a date, because he knows how big our age difference is. SORRY I WROTE SO MUCH XD lol thoughts? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK :)
Most Helpful Girl
At 24, he's at a way different position in his life from you, at 17. That being said, it could be illegal (depending on your age of consent laws) if things got heavy between you two. Wait until at least you're 18 to do that. I would say wait to date, too; get to know him better first. You're not even sure he likes you, right?00|00|0
true. I mean... he could just be a MAJOR flirt, like myself, :/
- Show AllShow Less
'tis true :/ and I probably will take it slow. ill just talk to him about my feelings WITHOUT scaring him away XD LOL
Get to know him first! And try to get your parents' approval! Or some other trusted adult who knows you well. If you're really mature for your age, I suppose you can pull it off, but he would be a little creepy for pursuing a 17-year-old IMO.

It seems some fans can't help but show their true colors or simply take the piss, which might explain how one Brazilian fan came to scream 'fxck her right in the pussy,' after blonde vixen CityNews Toronto reporter Natalie Duddridge came to ask the fan his thoughts over Brazil's nail biting win over Chile yesterday.
Blonde vixen: 'How did you come to feel over Brazil's seat of the pants win?'
Brazilian Fan looking for a cheap thrill: 'I was really nervous. Fuck her right in the pussy.'
Blonde vixen: 'Okaaaay. Just disregard that.'
Deadspin postulates that perhaps the Brazilian fan might have been inspired by this fake news blooper that's been around for a while. Or maybe, in the euphoria of Brazil's victory, he came up with the words on his own.
But that's probably wishful.
Besides a very minor scream inside her head which the viewers can momentarily discern, Natalie Duddridge went on to pretend that shit never happened, which is to say, it's not the first time this blonde vixen has come to hear her fair share of salivation within her proximity….World Cup soccer or not.

LifeSource and Northwestern University Athletics will join forces for the 'Purple Pride Blood Drive & Bone Marrow Registry' on Thursday, August 25, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; and Friday, August 26, 1-7 p.m.
Both drives will be held at the Stadium Club, located inside Ryan Field at
1501 Central Rd., in Evanston. All participating donors will receive one ticket to a Northwestern Wildcats non-conference football game this season. Additional tickets for that same game will be available for purchase.
Although summer is winding down, the need for quality blood products is always in demand. Due to busy summer schedules, blood donations are traditionally lowest in August. But the need for blood actually increases during these months.
"Every blood donation matters," adds LifeSource spokesperson Kodi Khadivar. "The rarest blood type is the one not on the shelf when it's needed by a patient."

Series: Cicerone Guides: The Tarns of Lakeland Volume: 1
Scattered across the Lake District National Park are hundreds of tarns and small pools waiting to be discovered by the unhurried fell-walker. With their small tent and immense enthusiasm, John and Anne Nuttall have investigated 'every little speck of blue' on the map in their efforts to compile these detailed mountain tarn walks of western Lakeland. From huge Devoke Water to the tiny Lang Tarn on the Heathwaite Fells, the authors reveal that every tarn is unique in its appeal and that the seasonal changes ensure that no two visits are ever the same. Each of the 42 walks is accompanied by a hand-drawn 1:25,000 scale route map, plus beautiful pen-line drawings and details on distances, ascents, starting points and precise routes, including historical and environmental snippets to tempt the reader further. This is the companion volume to "The Tarns of Lakeland, Volume 2: East".

UK Music industry attracts over £100m of investment from big brands
UK Music industry attracts over £100m of investment from big brands
Iconic brands such as Coca Cola, O2, Blackberry and Volkswagen spent a record £100m on music in 2012, PRS for Music research revealed.
Statistics published by PRS for Music and music and entertainment strategists, FRUKT, showed the spend for music use in festivals, online and in artistic endorsements reached £104.8m, an increase of 6.09% from 2011.
Artist endorsements or 'sponsorship', such as those between Coca Cola and Mark Ronson for the Olympics or Mastercard and Emile Sande at the BRIT Awards, saw a 33% increase in brand spend from the previous year and brought in over £4.5m.
Digital campaigns including the launch of the new Spotify app, YouTube's new LoveLive channel and events that offered fans real-time interaction via social media and mobile like AmEx Unstaged meant digital spend on music reached £10.4m.
Sponsored music events still thrived despite the dominance of the Olympics in 2012. Live music sponsorship accounted for the largest share of the market at 35% and netted over £33m. High profile campaigns included Coca Cola's Olympics Torch Relay with 66 live music shows across the UK, Rihanna's infamous Budweiser 777 tour and Blackberry's Summer Daze which featured eight UK festivals and was broadcast on Channel 4.
Innovative companies understand the power of a good song and how a memorable music experience inspires and connects with fans. Historically, sport was where big brands put their money, but the last 12 months have demonstrated the unique power of music to convey brand value and how the right partnership can benefit music lover, songwriter and business alike.
The brand and music space is an incredibly active and vibrant one. We've seen an increase in both the volume of activity and sophistication of platforms over the last five years and there are no signs of this changing. Music is something people instinctively love – when brands improve or enrich music moments and experiences they strengthen relationships with their consumers. There's a clear trend in brands wanting to take control of platforms and move away from traditional sponsorship – we're really excited by this and see it as an opportunity to get even more creative.

Location: Grape Genetics Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Knock down candidate susceptiblity genes in transgenic grapes and assay disease resistance; conduct ecoTILLING in the vinifera germplasm collection and self-hybridize susceptible heterozygotes.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
We have identified orthologous candidate genes shown to be required for susceptiblity to Arabidopsis powdery mildew and are cloning these genes into silencing constructs. We will outsource the stable transformation of susceptible grapes with these constructs and test their resistance. Transformations will be conducted at the Ralph M. Parsons Plant Transformation Facility.
3. Progress Report:
The highest quality Vitis vinifera grape cultivars are highly susceptible to powdery mildew. Grape growers desire vinifera cultivars with powdery mildew resistance for reduced inputs, which is the goal of this project. Previously, we computationally identified the evolutionary orthologues (i.e., the most closely related genes) of two resistance genes and selected six candidates. For each of these, we developed silencing constructs to test gene function and identify genes in which we could find natural mutations for traditional breeding of disease resistant vinifera grape cultivars. We generated several hundred Vitis vinifera vines and tested a subset for improved resistance to powdery mildew. We showed that silencing individual grape genes can result in reduced susceptibility to powdery mildew, decreasing disease by up to 80% on individual vines. Related to this, we characterized natural variation in these candidate genes by screening the USDA-ARS germplasm repository. We showed that these candidates are highly conserved with very few natural mutations occurring protein-coding exons.

DHS Whistleblower Exposes Islamic Supremacist Threat to National Security By Jerry Gordon
Recent testimony before the US Senate Judiciary Committee revealed "willful blindness" by federal law enforcement and immigration agencies to the threat posed by Islamic Supremacist homicidal attacks in America. We recently had the opportunity to interview Phillip Haney who testified as a panel member at the breakthrough Senate Judiciary Hearing on "Radicval Islam" and terrorism. Haney is the co-author of best-selling expose, See Something; Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad,.
Listen to the June 26, 2016 Lisa Benson Show interview with Dr. Haney.
Phillip B. Haney
Haney is a classic whistleblower with a difference. He morphed from a PhD USDA entomologist to become one of the first members of the US Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Custom and Border Protection (CBP) service. He half jokingly said that his training with insects enabled him to follow the ants and other insects back to their nests, identifying their networks. Besides his professional education, he was also linguistically and culturally equipped by dint of episodes in the Middle East and Africa to become conversant in Arabic and Qur'anic Islamic Doctrine and Sharia law. That enabled Haney as a new DHS officer to ultimate interview and spot Jihadist Visa waiver violators at the Port of Atlanta. His natural intellectual curiosity enabled him to spot and intercept more than 300 potential terrorist threats.
His self education also led to writing monographs on the network of jihadist threats in a 2006 Front Page Magazine (FPM) article, Green Tide Rising. It was about globally designated terrorist group Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the US. He has noted in both his book and interviews that his information was two years before the federal Dallas Holy Land Foundation trial. That trial resulted in multiple convictions for funneling more than $35 million via this Muslim charity to Hamas. It also identified co-conspirators, Muslim Brotherhood front groups, Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and Saudi-financed North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) that funds the creation of 80 percent of Mosques in the US. Other identified by federal prosecutors included the Muslim American Society (MAS) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA).
That FPM article caused his first brush with the politically correct, civil rights and civil liberties views of the DHS hierarchy that falsely accused Haney of violating security laws regarding alleged confidential information. Upon investigation all of the information in Haney article was drawn from open sources.
Ultimately, he was exonerated, as he was in more than 8 other instances over his 13 years of service at DHS before his retirement in 2015. His expertise was recognized in several assignments. Most notably were assignments at the National Targeting Center of DHS and requests for his assistance by counterterrorism echelons of the FBI. In 2012, five members of the House Homeland Security and Intelligence committees wrote a letter to the Inspector Generals of several defense and national security agencies. They were seeking information on infiltration of Muslim Brotherhood front group members. Haney on his own recognizance briefed these and dozens of other Members and Congress and Senators who found his analysis both compelling and incisive about the threat the nation faced. Ultimately he would be invited to more than 45 such private Congressional briefings.
The worst episode of the nine investigations brought against him was the convening of a Grand Jury investigation into allegations stemming from an FBI investigation into a Saudi national student who was injured at the Boston Marathon bombing perpetrated by the Tsarneav brothers. Haney was in possession of the FBI reports on the Saudi person of interest who was subsequently deported. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano went on television to indicate that there were no identified perpetrators or suspects before the identities of the Tsarneav brothers were revealed. Because Haney had briefed members of the House and Senate Homeland security and intelligence committees at the behest of chairmen, he was falsely accused of leaking the information. Napolitano had misinformed Homeland Security Committee members about the existence of the Saudi national who had violated his student Visa. Ultimately, as in the previous eight other episodes, Haney was exonerated just prior to his retirement from DHS.
We queried him about why the FBI and DHS have failed in too many instances to identify network Jihadists. He attributed it to the lack of intelligence sharing and the limitations placed on law enforcement by civil rights and civil liberties priorities of the US Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. That was evident in guidelines that indicated that just because a person belonged to a terrorist backing organization, he or she necessarily a terrorist. He illustrated that by his uncovering the network of members of the Tablighi Jamaat, (TJ) meaning "party of the promoters" in Arabic infiltrating the US. They sent domestic Madrassa Boys abroad from the port of Atlanta to English speaking Madrassa in the Republic of South Africa.
The TJ movement sprang from the Deobandi influenced clerics from India and Pakistan. Haney indicated that TJ Islamic doctrine is the equivalent of ISIS Salafism or Saudi Wahhabism. The TJ movement aimed at proselytizing other Sunni Muslims and gaining converts from other religions. It is estimated to have between 70 to over 120 million adherents globally. Their influence spawned the Taliban and radical terrorist groups like Lakshmi al Taiba whose adherents perpetrated the Mumbai jihad massacre of 2008. In the US, the TJ has a beehive Madrassa; the International Islamic Education School based in Chicago and affiliated with the Bridgewater Islamic Center. Haney suggested that the designation of Mosques as Centers usually was a tip off that it was a TJ doctrine group.
When news broke of the Orlando Massacre, Haney went through an intelligence exercise. He demonstrated the TJ network that encompassed the Fort Pierce Florida "center" attended by perpetrator Omar Mateen and his father's membership on the board. The Fort Pierce masjid or Mosque had connections to the IIE in Chicago. Which in turn, had connections to the San Bernardino Dar-al-Uloom al-Islamiya of America mosque where terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook worshipped. The Imam, Roshan Zamir Abbassi, a Pakistani, told FBI investigators that he barely Rizwan and his wife Tashfeen Malik. Malik had been a convert to TJ Deobandism while attending the al Hulda women's seminary in Pakistan. The founder of the al Hulda seminary had migrated to Canada and founded an affiliate in a suburb of Toronto where three women were recruited to join ISIS in Syria. The National Security Task Force of America of the Lisa Benson Show uncovered a TJ affiliated network of Shifa health clinics in the Bible belt that spread across the US. It was directed at providing health care to low income minorities along with da'wa, the call to Islam. Haney further noted that the choice of return to the US and his Pakistani bride via Chicago and given their appearance in Sharia compliant attire was purposeful. It was deemed a safer port of entry than Atlanta.
The FBI according to Haney is not trained in profile considerations because of the over arching civil rights and civil liberties concerns of the Bush and the Obama Administrations. That led to the creation of the countering violent extremism program at DHS with Muslim Brotherhood front group advisors. FBI training lacks the necessary nuances to detect adherents of potentially seditious Islamic doctrine under Sharia. That was compounded by the lack of domestic intelligence and communications with the DHS CBP that has vastly more enforcement authority on immigration issues. Thus, the FBI had investigated Orlando jihadist Mateen three times without alerting the CBP that could have provided information on Mateen's prior trips to Saudi Arabia.
Haney was part of a panel that included four prominent counter jihadists at a Hearing of the US Senate Judiciary Oversight Subcommittee on "Radical Islam" and terrorism. The Hearing was chaired by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on June 28, 2016. Others of note included Dr. M. Zhudi Jasser, Chris Gaubatz undercover investigator and former federal prosecutor and author, Andrew McCarthy. There were also representatives from ISNA and a retired FBI agent on the panel.
The Senate Judiciary Committee reconvened on June 30th to hear testimony from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson . DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson was questioned by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Johnson alleged that he didn't know of Haney and willfully dismissed the latter's testimony without answering the Cruz's questions about Administration efforts to deny the connection between Supremacist Islamic ideology and homicidal Jihad in America.. In his testimony Haney recounted being forced by DHS officials to expunge more than 850 records allegedly offensive to Muslim persons of interest. Johnson denied any knowledge of this action. Cruz continued with his withering examination of the factual record of Secretary Johnson. He drew attention to the Administration's redaction of training materials and intelligence reports "offensive to American Muslims" and liaison with both domestic and foreign Muslim Brotherhood figures advising it on 'countering violent extremism."
Watch the exchanges between Sen. Cruz and Secretary Johnson in this WND C-SPAN video clip.
To Haney's view the 3 hour plus June 28th hearing was a watershed moment. It revealed the extent of Muslim Brotherhood influence in Congress, the Administration and in advisory positions in national law and immigration enforcement agencies. The Hearing also exposed their ultimate goal of supplanting our Constitution with Sharia, Islamic law. Asked what could be done to thwart entry of such threats, Haney said, give the CBP officers in all the ports in the US three weeks training in the Islamic supremacist threat doctrine and the message would be spread globally in the Muslim ummah they could be stopped.
This is an updated excerpt of an earlier article by the author published in the July edition of The New English Review.

Starring Cindy Sampson, Aaron Ashmore, Meghan Heffern
Directed by Jon Knautz
Eager for a break, fledgling journalist Carmen (Cindy Sampson) follows a lead from a missing local teenager's journal which takes her all the way to a small village in rural Poland. Carmen's photographer/boyfriend Marcus (Aaron Ashmore) joins her, as does her young colleague Sara (Meghan Heffern). Once they begin to investigate the boy's disappearance, they will find no shortage of excuses to turn back, including xenophobic locals, a creepy young girl and a strange fog that hovers, stationary, in the nearby forest. Of course, turning back isn't in the cards for these three, and it isn't long before the girls are kidnapped by hooded Poles, and photog Ashmore trades the Canon SLR in for an old Luger to do himself some good old-fashioned druid hunting.
Canadian co-writer/director Jon Knautz is clearly a talented filmmaker and a card-carrying horror fan, as evidenced by the reception of his debut feature Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer. For his follow-up, The Shrine, he's assembled a very capable cast, and no ingredient has been spared in what initially promises to be a truly memorable cinematic recipe: old Polish druids, check; bizarre mists, check; bleeding statues, check; a nemesis who looks like he should be playing lead guitar in a Swedish speed metal band, check. There's also surely enough Polish content to qualify for funding from the Polish Consulate of Canada. Sadly, it takes The Shrine much of its running time before finally settling into a forward momentum. Granted, the climactic sequence features exorcisms, monsters, loads of old school gore, and a revelatory twist, but by that time it's too little, too late.
Access to an HD camera does not a movie make, and technically things are off to a shaky start in a film whose visual palette seems strangely inspired by late 80s/early 90s genre television like Friday the 13th – The Series and Forever Knight. It's consistently dull to look at, which is a problem when so little is happening plot-wise. The film is undeniably Canadian, eh? Yet Ashmore's line, "We're American!" when facing off a gang of Polish thugs brought unintentional guffaws from an audience that just didn't buy it. The action is low-impact and limited to foot chases in the woods, as well as old-fashioned fist fights that could've been choreographed by the same team that oversaw Bo and Luke's fancy fisticuffs on The Dukes of Hazzard back in the day. Performances range from effective to hammy and stand out in the latter case, in a movie that takes itself so seriously.
In Canada as much as anywhere else, there's an ever-widening gap between no-budget, DIY-style movies and the more polished features that benefit from multi-million dollar budgets (horror films in the latter category are few and far between – are you listening, federal and provincial film funders?). More and more movies like The Shrine are falling into that gap. While The Shrine is undoubtedly done in by certain questionable creative choices and lazy plotting, many of its flaws are of a purely budgetary nature – which is a shame, because it's clear that Knautz has a vision, and enough courage to make big movies for small prices.

Woolworths might be facing a clean-up bill of $30 million to $60 million for its role in the sale of faulty electrical cable to about 40,000 households and businesses.
The faulty cable was sold by about 18 retailers and wholesalers - including Woolworths' Masters, Home Timber & Hardware and Thrifty-Link stores and Metcash's Mitre 10 stores - from 2010 to last year.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission announced a voluntary recall of the cable in August after tests revealed the plastic coating could become brittle prematurely, especially if exposed to prolonged high temperatures, exposing the internal conductors and raising the risk of short circuits, electric shock and fires.
A regulatory task force established by the ACCC initially estimated the cost of identifying and removing the faulty cable, rewiring and repairing walls and ceilings would be about $80 million, or an average of $2000 per household.
The taskforce has now revised its estimates and believes the average cost of fully rewiring affected households could be $4000, taking the total clean-up bill to as much as $160 million.
Infinity Cable Co, the company that imported the cable from China, went into liquidation last year and wholesalers and retailers have agreed to meet the costs of inspections, removal and replacement where the cable is found.
Woolworths sold more than 40 per cent of the cable and will have to pay the lion's share of the bill.
In a report this week, broker Merrill Lynch estimated the total cost of the clean-up could be as much as $600 million, or $15,000 per household, based on the cost of fully rewiring a home.
However, a Woolworths spokeswoman and an ACCC spokesman said Merrill's estimates were too high.
"Not every job is a complete rewiring of a home and as experts have said, safety switches might do the job," the Woolworths spokeswoman said.
"We are one of a number of retailers who sold it and we're working with the ACCC on the industry response."
In a note on contingent liabilities in its 2014 accounts, Woolworths said a reliable estimate of the cost associated with remediation or other actions required was not possible at this time.
The ACCC said that under the recall, cable installed in accessible areas or near heat sources such as roof cavities and near downlights needed to be removed and replaced.
"Every remediation will be different, so costs will vary, and because not all cable in each installation needs to be removed, the cost of each remediation will be less than that for full rewiring," the ACCC spokesman said.
The ACCC has received the first round of progress reports on the recall and is analysing the costs.
The costs are variable because of the range of project sizes. Early reports seem to confirm that the cost of minimum remediation is a portion of the cost of rewiring an entire installation.
"However, until more progress reports have been received and analysed, a reliable estimate of the total cost of the recall is not possible," the ACCC said.
The recall covers Infinity and Olsent-branded cable that was sold across Australia from 2010 to last year by Masters, Home Timber & Hardware, Thrifty-Link Hardware, Mitre 10 and independent electrical suppliers such as Pioneer Electrical Supplies, Salmon Bros Data and Electrical and Alliance Electrical Wholesalers. Wesfarmers' Bunnings did not sell the cable.
The ACCC said no accidents had been reported, but the cables would degrade over time and the risk of physical contact was highest in roof spaces and under raised floors.

Senior tailback Josh Blanks plowed his way to 104 yards on 18 attempts in carrying Tara to a 26-22 victory Friday night over Istrouma at Olympia Stadium.
The Trojans (3-5, 1-3 in District 6-4A) rebounded after suffering a close loss last week to Broadmoor, including losing starting tailback Tyrick Nelson to an injury.
Istrouma was led by quarterback Marquise Kaigler, who led the Indians (0-8, 0-5) with 295 yards of offense, including two scores through the air and one on the ground.
According to Tara coach Ron LeJeune, there are several areas the team needs to improve on despite the victory.
"There's work we need to do," LeJeune said. "We had some bad penalties that killed drives, and we didn't tackle all that well on defense."
It was Kaigler's impressive scampers on the quarterback draw that caused havoc, rushing 10 times for 75 yards with one touchdown.
"He just does a great job at running that quarterback draw," LeJeune said.
The Indians struck first when Istrouma's Todd Mance pulled down a deflected pass and scampered 61 yards for the score, giving Istrouma a 6-0 lead.
Tara answered on the ensuing possession, putting together a 10-play, 78-yard drive capped by a 21-yard touchdown run by Jared Bryant to tie the score.
The Trojans then gained good field possession after a short punt, getting the ball at the Indians' 38-yard line. Washington needed just one play, hitting receiver Jonathan Barrow for a 38-yard touchdown strike. After a failed two-point conversion, Tara led 12-6 with 10:31 before halftime.
After an 18-yard return by Istrouma's Javaris Washington, aided by a block in the back against Tara, the Indians were setup with great field position at Trojans' 22. Two plays later, following a facemask by Tara, Kaigler dashed up the gut for the score. After a successful swing pass to Ron Clark for the two-point conversion, Istrouma was within 20-14 at the 3:03 mark of the third quarter.
Blanks led the way on Tara's next possession, starting the drive with a 17-yard scamper and following it up with an impressive 22-yard run. Three plays later, Washington put it in the end zone on a 2-yard dive. After the missed extra point, the Trojans led 26-14 with just over a minute left in the third.
Two possessions later, with the ball at the Trojans' 42, Kaigler connected on a 22-yard pass to Whitfield and followed it up with a 20-yard strike to Clark for the score. Kaigler then added the two-point conversion on a quarterback draw as Tara lead 26-22 at the 6-minute mark, yet failed to convert on its following possession as Tara held on for the victory.
"We just need to regroup next week," LeJeune said. "But a win's a win, and we'll definitely take it."
